Q.C., Mr. Yams Harcourt, Q. 0., and Mr. ; Ow. Russell. for the defendant. Yr. William Stose—l am a priest. I am 26 years of a ge. I have been in Osoott College eleven yeliell and a half. I em the prefect of discipline. Misr amps* to the rules, he., of the college, similar ie that stated by Dr. Noethoote yesterday, he went on to l ay— Subject to appal to the president, I base the sla sphlie oontrol of the discipline. The plaintiff was under the same rules and discipline as the philosophers, except that he bad Use privilege of remaining in bed half as hour liter than the other.. Bringing spirits into the oollege was before I became prefect, and did not come under my wol fram The first unpleasantness I had with the plaintiff was with regard to the key. Hint him the pane key that opened all the misters' and stades& rooms, and some others, with the express injunction that he was to bring it back to me the first thing in the morning. About 2 o'clock the fol lowing afternoon I met him in the cloister, and reminded him that be bad not given me the key. He produced it. I remarked it was not the key. He said, "It is, sir." I then law it wan the key sad noticed that it bad bean Umpired with. It habeen blackened, and wax was. Waists; to it, and in answer to my inquiries he said be bad not put it in the fire or put oil on it. He arid be had done nothing with it, and then went upstairs. It then struck me that he had bean taking as impression of the key, sad that afternoon a war impression and • rubbing or drawing of the key in ink were put into my bands by my assistant. I went to his room after night prayer and showed them to him, sad asked him if he recognised them. He said, in • joking moaner, that it was • very fsithW easy of ths key. I asked him if be considered it as honour able thin to do, to which he replied that he maw no harm is it. I said, "If you do not. perhaps your superiors will sot thin c to i lyht of it, and I shall inform than of it." I ocienum it that evening to the vies-presidient. About a quarter of an hour after plaintiff met me sad said to me, " I have come to you to ask you not to mention my taking an impression of the key to Dr. Northoota* aid he knew it was &dishonourable thing to de; that he would not do so again. I never said them was nothing in it, and that it did not signify, but I told him I would not mention it to Dr. Northeote, and I west to the viewprestilent and told him that the plaintiff bad contemned to me that It wen • dishonourable thing to do, and I begged him not to mar tioo it to Dr. Northeote, which he did. I bad not the least desire to get him into trouble. We have always been on the beet of terms. The students are never allowed a key. The sacristy where the plain ti ff got the wax candle omU be opened with this key. The next oomplsint was about the 20tb or 21st February. I found him up at hill-pat 11 o'clock, when he ought to bare been in bed at 10 o'clock, according to the rules. I than took sway his privileges for three days, believing—in fact, I knew for certain—it was • thing be had done before. The next day or the cis after he went beyond the bounds with some hers, but I had no time to speak to EZ7tat the following day the vice-president informed me be had seen two boys very like ours on the road, and I had better see into the matter. I was going to Birmingham that afternoon, sad thinking they might be about town, I turned • mister of • mile out of my way, sad found him and three others there; plaintiff was hiding himself. As I could not see him I called his name, and I discovered him revered up in the fireplace. (Laughter.) I said nothing to them at the time, but sent them home. I reported it on Saturday morning, the 25th, and Dr. Northoote confined him to the bounds until Easter. On Monday following, the 27th, I found him in the housekeeper's room, where students ere not allowed, and I told him he ought not to be there, and to return to his bounds. A quarter of an hour OWE that I found him in the plantations with mother andent—that ie out of the bounds—neither of them had any right to be there ; they were shooting with s pistol. As moos es they saw me they took to their heels. I followed them sad called them tack. I 'eked who owned the pasta Plaintiff *lied, " I do." I then mid, " Give it to me." He said, " I have not got it." I desired him to go and find It, to which be answered, " I don't know where it is." I then said, " That is a lie." He answered, "It is not." I repeated "It was a lie, and that if he did not mind I should box his ears." 1 1 pistol was found lying close to the hedge • few yards . from him, but I can't say if he pitted it up previously. I think I said, "If you don't give me up that pistol you shall leave the house to-night" I took the pistol, and told him to return to the bounds, and to give me up everything he bad emanated with the pistol—cartridges, tie. I reported it to Dr. Northeote, and then found that plaintiff had been to him before. I gave my explanation to Dr. Northoote. Plaintiff came to me in the evening of the following day. He *use to my room, aed said he wished to have • non venation with me. He began by saying that he had been conducting himself so badly, end that his character was so lowered in the estimation of his superiors, that It would little avail him to try to extenuate his faults, and be wanted to speak to me first on my calling Wm a liar and my threatening to box his ears. He excused himself that it was not • lie because be did not know actually where the pistol was. I pointed out to him if it was not • lie it was an equivocation almost amounting to • lie, and with regard to boxing his ears, of course it was • threat I should sever think dairying into execution ; but it was not cus tomary fora superior to apologise to a boy, and that I was sot ashamed to confess a fault when I had committed it. I said I we. out of temper for the moment, and that I only meant it is a threat ; he add it was his impression that tie prefect had Dot the power to take away the privies of • philosopher, and knowing what bad been done in my time I told him he had, and that it had been frequently exercised ; plaintiff added that he had gone at is order to see if I should press the right. The privi lege is this ram bid been taken away by the president, Dr. Northoote ; be told me that Dr. Northcote had de graded him to the ranks and to study in the common studying plum. The Doctor told me of it the following morning and I then proceeded to put it into execution. Shortly after I again found him up at night after hours. I told him I did not wish to bring him into farther trouble sad I would overlook it, but not soy other offence*, and them I told him his position in the house was very fickle. Dr. Northcot• had before told me what had passed **tweets him sad the plaintiff, and that he h .d told him that for the seat offence be would hive to leave, and it was in reference to that that I need the observation "fickle." After that I Mud there was an ill-feeling smoopt the students. A most violent feeling bad existed in my own time, and I was under the impression that it had almost died out ; it bad manifested itself in the frequent me of the word "bunker" NW petty annoyances to the persons who were the objects of th em, and previously they had resulted in open quarrels ; it (mete an open issue about 18.57, and it warn Dr. North sote's object to get rid of all class distinctions, and I was almost lure it bad died out. I refused to believe the feel - *had revived until the evenisg of the 4th March, when I found a dozen students in the study room, and among them the plaintiff, laughing and perusing some paper which they had before them. As soon as I entered the room the paper immediately disappeared. I demanded it, and it was given to me rather reluctantly. I found it was • list of all the students in the house marked, some with • cypher, and others with • cross. I think I burnt it a fter the plaintiff left. I could not came to any conclusion what the paper meant, but on the following night one of the church stu dents ,net me and said, " So I heir you haves list of the nobility of Oscott ;" and then for the first time I obtained positive information that this ill-feeling was beginning to manitestitrielf is the house. The clerical student gave me two names he was sure were at the bottom of it. After that en* of the divines came to my room and informed me *bathe kid just heard that &confederation society was being tien limiest the church students, and he said he bid got the onnation from a la student who had been asked to join the gaiety, and he a lso gave me the pltintifit's name is the had and originator of it. I went to Fitzgerald's room and found a pocket-book. I opened it at random and read the leaves quickly over and the first letters that met my eye erne "A B C," which my informant bad told me meant Asti-Bunker Confederation. I also found under the initials the list of the member". I also found in the pocket-book the notes or memoranda already referred to. I did not open OT read any of Mr. Fitzgerald's letters. After night reins I incidentally met the vice-president and I told his what I had discovered, but he bad not time they to attend to it. I told Dr. Northcote of it the following mora le!. About 9 o'clock, the vice president and myself met in Dr. Northeote's room, and I repeated my information. At 11 o'clock, by Dr. Noethcote's direction, I brought the book to him, as be wished to judge for himself. tare doieg so I called the plaintiff to my room, and locked my door as is my usual practice when I have to speak or raid' i boy to prevent intrusion. After locking the door, "David, I ism afraid you have done for your "elf at Inst." but not with • triumphant smile. He raked "bow!" 1 said " You have • pocket-book." He MAIM "I have," and put his hand upon it. I asked him reye me ;he said " I dont see what right you have to timid it." I replied "If yon don't give it me I shall take "he again said " I don't see what right you have to demand it." I again said, " Are you rill to give it me ; he said " No." I replied Theo I must take it from you," and I did so without any ° P a tZ le ition on his part. There was not the shadow of • on his part ; be bad his band on his coat pocket. I open e d t h e b ook and seeing the notes there I closed it !Tag " It's all right." He said, " Are you satisfied and "PAM. " You may pretty well guess whit the come- Lulls* of this will be ;" he acted me what I meant, and I then taxed him with getting up the society. !Died the church atudents ;he put it off, saying it was futehog and nonsense. I said I was afraid it was too tits for him to help himself, but that it was not ?late to help others he then asked to see Dr. retlico . to , and I said "C e rtainly ;" and I took him to the riot• I saw him again Moat 1 o'clock, bat before that ei ttedd Net find him, and I was under the impress ... °0 that he had gone. He then went into Dr. ritethonte's room, sod I went by the doctor's direction and entered the plaintiff's dinner into th e pa r l o ur ' and then Toot to the procurator and obtained the necessary mossy Tlll4 EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7. 1866. to pay the plaintiff's expeases Some. I took him to his room and locked him io whilst I woes to the visitor's dining-room tease if his dinner we. ready. He asked me, u a special favour, to allow him to dine in his private roam, sod I counted. I looked the door according to custom io oases of expulsion.

MONEY MARKET.-411118 DAL) Ora o'Ctoow. There is an increased amount of business in the stock markets to-day, and the tendency generally is rather more favourable. Consols are unchanged, but English railways and foreign securities have advanced in several instances. Amongst the latter, the principal feature is a rise of about per cent. in Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates, upon the announce ment that negotiations for a settlement are once more in progress. The shares of the financial com panies are also in demand, and a alight improve ment has occurred in International Financial, Ge neral Credit, and Credit Fcucier and Mobilier. Attention is partly directed to the monthly settle ment in the funds, which will be concluded to-morrow. The discount market is quiet, and the supply of money good. No transactions are reported in good three months' bills, however, below 71 per cent. In the Stock Exchange advances till to morrow on English government securities are obtainable at 7 to 8 per cent. Consols are now quoted 861 to both for money and to-morrow's settlement. Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates are in strong demand, and have risen 1 to I per cent., re spectively. Greek and Egyptian scrip have also im proved t, and Brazilian scrip and Mexican t. The quotations are as follows :--Greek, 121 to 131 ; Italian,6ll to 1; Mexican, 201 to 211; Spanish Pas sive, 26/ to I ; ditto Certificates, 15 to 1 ; Turkish, 1865, 39 to t ; Brazilian scrip, 1 to 11 prem. ; Egyptian scrip, 1 to / prem. American securities exhibit no variation of importance ; 5-20 Bonds are quoted 67f to f ; Erie Railway shares, 531 to f ; Erie Railway shares, 63} to f ; and Illinois Central, 74 to International Financial shares are now quoted to I prem., ex div. ; General Credit, 11. to prem. ; London Financial, If to If die., ex div.; Imperial Mercantile, I to k prem., ex div. ; Credit Fonder and Mobilier, 3} to f prem. ; Overend, Gurney, and Company, 4 to prem. ; and Joint Stock Discount, b } to 4f die. The shares of the London Financial Association 'yesterday were again severely prejudiced by the announcement that Mr. Savin, the large railway contractor, whose embarrassments have been re ferred to by rumour during the last few days, has been compelled to suspend, though possessing a large surplus. This company's shares fell at one period to 2 discount, and closed lbs. worse than on Monday. The applications at the Bank discount office yes terday were to a good extent ? and rather more numerous than on Monday. This arises chiefly, no doubt, from the state of the general market, where, although the supply of money was good, the rates for the beat three months' bills were not below 71 to 8 per cent. The fact, however, that bank bills having six months to run are taken at 7f, indicates a belief that the existing high value of money will not be maintained for any lengthened period. For six months' trade bills the charge yesterday was 7i to 8 per cent. There is an expectation that the market will be influenced to some extent by the monthly settlement in consols, which is fixed for to-morrow. It is said that the mail steamer for Brazil, which will leave Southampton on the 9th inst., will take a rather considerable amount of sovereigns. The Stock Exchange Committee yesterday ap pointed Friday, the 9th inst., a special settling day in the following securities, viz.:—Scrip of the Ar gentine Republic Six per Cent. Loan, to be marked ; scrip and consolidated sterling mortgage bonds of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, to be marked ; shares of the London and Australian Agency Company (Limited), not to be marked.

Smith has been appointed a director, and Mr. Julian Byrne secretary to the board. The meeting of shareholders of the London and South Western Bank (Limited) took place yester day. The gross profits for the half-year, including the sum of 3121. carried forward from the last ac count, have reached 25,1391., and the disposable balance is 10,2971. It was decided to appropriate 5,8294 to the payment of a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent per annum, free of income tax ; to write off 5001. from the preliminary expenses ; to add 1,5001. to the reserve fund ; and to carry forward the balance of 2,4671. to the next account. A call of Si. is to be paid on the shares of the General Exchange Bank (Limited) by the Ist of March. Advice' from Brazil by the Oneida show an in crease of receipts of the Bahia Steam Navigation Company for December, 1865, of 2,0001. over the preceding month.

The transactions in foreign stocks were not very numerous, but the tendency was again firm. Atten tion was chiefly directed to Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates, which were in good demand, and rose per cent. Venezuelan Bonds of 1864 also improved 1 per cent. ; Turkish of 1854 and 1862, dto ; and Italian of 18 61 and Egyptian scrip, On the other hand, Brazilian Bonds of 1863 eclined 1 per cent., and those of 1852, 1858, and 1860, were fiat. Bank shares continue generally firm. There was a demand to-day for Alliance, Commercialpf India, Imperial, London Bank of Mexico, and Bank of New South Wales, at an improvement. English and Americas, and London and Westminster also met with inquiry, while Bank of Egypt, London and South Western, and Metropolitan and Pro vincial declined. Alliance Bank shares were last quoted 11 to 2f prem., ex div. ; Imperial Otto man, 3 to 1 prem., ex div. ; and Anglo-Austrian Bank, f to 1 prem.

On the other hand, International Financial and Credit Fonder and Mobilier showed a slight improve ment, and General Credit and Imperial Mercantile I were steady.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. _ . _ Sittinp in Balm attar Tama.—(l34dore Lord Chid Baron Pollock, aad Barons Martin, Chaooell, and Pigott.) WILSON V. JOHNS.-JUDGMINT. Mr. Baran Martin delivered to-day the judgment of the court in this ease, which involved an important question as to polities of Overawe on the Atlantic Cable. The plaintiff, a shareholder in the company, incorporated for the purpose of laying the cable, effected a policy with the defendant, an underwriter, which was "to cover every risk and contingency attending the conveyance and the sneoessful laying of the cable until WO words were transmitted from Ireland to Newfousdland and vice versa.* and it was agreed that such transmission of words should be an "essential condition of the policy." The Great Hatters was employed in laying the cable, and after about half of it bad been laid the cable parted, and efforts to recover the end by fishing it up from the bottom of the sea, at the depth of several miles, proved ultimately unsuccessful. The vessel was consequently brought, with the remaining half os board,toValeerna, from which she had started. Under theeecircumstancestbe plaintiff hroughthis motion and at the trial before Mr. Baron Martin, at Lifer pool, a verdict was returned for the plaintiff, damages MI" This was the amount for which the plaintiff had in sured, and he had paid 501. to the defendant for the risk. Subsequently a rule was obtained to enter a verdict for the defendant, or to reduce the damages ; and on the part of the defendant it was contended—first, that the cable had Dot been lost by the perils of the sea, to which it said the policy only applied, sad secondly, that it if had been so lost, there was not a total, but a partial loss, inasmuch as the company bad not only half of the cable in their pos session, but intended, if possible, to utilise the portion at the bottom of the sea, when they renewed their efforts to lay an electric cable between Ireland end Newfound'and. At the conolusion of the argument the court took time to con sider the points, and Mr. Baron Martin now gave judgment upon them in favour of the plaintiff, observing that the policy was merely a contract whereby the defendant under. took is coesideration of receivieg 501. to pay 2001. to the plaintiff if the venture of laying the cable was not success fully carried out. Bede discharged accordingly. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) veirrr v. nevrri AND This was a petition by the husband for dissolution of mar riage, on the ground of adultery. The cue was partly heard on Friday. Mr. Cooke, Q. 0., and Dr. Wambey appeared for the petitioner ; Mr. Day for the respondent ; Dr. Bpinks for the 00-respondent. The marriage took place about 14 years ago, and the petitioner, who was a journeyman confectioner, lived with his wife for some years at Newport, in Moemo•thsbire, and there were four children, of whom three are now living. They then removed to Manchester, and disagree ments then took place between them. The husband complained of her alatterely habits, and the house and children were always in so filthy a state teat it was hardly habitable. After a time they agreed to separate, and the wife went to live at Holston. in CornwalL Whilst there the husband did not supply her with a maintenance, and she obtained a situation as housekeeper to an ironmonger, in a large way of business at Newport, in Moismouthabire, named Meredith, the co-respondent. He was unmarried, and there was no other woman in the house. No evidence of Impro priety of conduct was adduced. or of any familiarities between respondent and co-respondent, but eventually re spondent left and went into lodgings, where a child was born. The evidence against the co-respondent was chiefly that be was sent to for money on account of the expenses of the confinement and maintenance of the child ; but in reply it was alleged that Meredith gave the money on account of . _ His lordship held the adultery of the respondent and co respondent clearly proved, and that the latter knew that the former was &married woman ; also that the petitioner was not living apart from his wifebrithout sufficient cause, and that he had not been guilty of cruelty. There must be, therefore, a decree nisi for the dissolution of the mar riage with the emits of the snit against the co-respondent. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Efolroyd.)

The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Serjeent Ballantine and Mr. W. J. Payne appeared for the prosecution • Mr. F. H. Lewis for the defence. Mr. F. H. Lewis said the prisoner bad pleaded guilty to the charge of damsging some valuable pictures, but as the prosecutor was not in attendance be thought it most desirable for the interests of his client that the case should be postponed in order to give him (Mr. Lewis) an opportunity of putting such questions to the prosecutor as would place in a true light before the curt the history of this unfortunate connection, and enable the court there upon to act justly. The learned serjeant (Ballantine) who appeared on the on the other aide consented to the postponement, as he was informed that Mr. Aston, the prosecutor, could not attend for a month. Under these air cumstances, of course, he (Mr. Lewis) must consent to the cue standing over for a month. The Assistant-Judge said he supposed that thereat object of the prosecution was to ensure protection to the prose cutor. Yr. Setleant Bellantine said that wan so. Mr. F. R. Lewis said the woman was is • position to provide substantial sureties, and in the end, after some further di=cussion, and after a proper admonition by the learned judge of the conaequences that would attach to her in the event of her misoonducting herself again, she was admitted to bail in two sureties of 1001. each, and herself in 500/., to come up for judgment when called upon, and to give 24 boars' notice of bail.

From the absorbing interest which the melancholy lose of the unfortunate ship London has created in the public mind, and the deep sympathy felt for all who survived, it was scarcely ever expected that any one of them would have been selected as an object of plunder. The prosecutor in the above ease is, however, one of the crew of the London. Mr. Payne (to the witness, Edwin Quin)—Were you one of those that amine in the boat ? Witness -I was, my lord. When I came back home, I went to the Bailors' Home, in Well-street, on the 23rd of January. The prisoner was not there at that time. I bad been out, and whoa I returned I pulled off my coat and went to sleep. I put my coat across my knees. The door keeper awoke me, sad asked me if I bad lost anything. I said " Yea, I have lost my coat." The prisoner. who was standing by, had it on. I had been driakly freely. Mr. Payne—l suppose your friends were very anxious to treat you and to congratulate you upon your lucky escape. I em very glad you are here safe. Witaess—Thank you, my lord. I met a lot of shipmates, and you know what shipmates are, my lord. They treated me, and I went to a music-hall, and was not quite sober. Mr. Payee—Well, 'tie excusable. William Bird, night watchman at the Bailors' Home, proved letting the prisoner out of the Sailors' Homo ;he went after him and asked him where he was going. The prisoner said " One of my shipmates has been robbed and I am going to find the thieves," Witness said that he should take him hack to the Home.

This morning Mr. Humphreys, coroner, held an inquiry at the Lamb Tavern, Dorset-Argot, Commereial road, relative to the death of an artilleryman, named Thomas Benninghare, aged 20 years. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was a soldier of the A battery, Royal Artillery, stationed at Woolwich ; and having, on the 2nd ult., got leave of ab sence, he went with a comrade named William M'Clean on board a barge to get into a steamer near London-bridge. Oes of his spurs caught in a plank on board the barge, sod he was thrown headlong into the river. AU efforts to save him proved unavailing, and his body only came to the sur face on Monday last. Dr. John Brown Ross said that there were two severe wounds on the deceased's temples. The skull was fractured, and no doubt he must have been killed almost immediately. The injuries might have been occasioned by his striking the side of the steamer with his head when his spars tripped him up and sent him into the river. The Coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death." WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) WIDIFIMMT. rionwir 7. B'AX. D. 1 L L I S.
