The ltearin; of this disputed will cause was continued lc-del teethe fifth time, and the examination of witnesses on behalf of Mrs. Pearce, who desires to upset her late husband's will on the ground of hie insanity, was con- tinued. Dr. Warren Hastings Dymond,who made a post mortem eumination of Mr. Pearce, gave it as his opinion that from the state of his brain his insanity must have been of het standing. Madame Hauck, of Brussels, vitl. whom Mr. and Mrs. Pearce had frequently resided. gave evidence as to the ex traordinary conduct of which Mr. Pearce was sometimes guilty, such as burning his wife's boots to prevent her Solt; out, locking himself in his bedroom to prevent her rt ,, rik; to rest, chasing her about the house with a knife it , hi. hand, ke.

PCNISLINUINTS IN HOLLAND.—The North Rotterdam Courant has discovered a new argument in favour of the abolition of capital punishment. It points out that in the budget of the Dutch Minister of Justice for the ensuing year there is an item of 7,046 florins for pay and pensions to executioners. As sentences of capitol punishments are, on the average, only carried out in Hol land once in ten years, each execution may be said to oast 70,400 florins for executioners alone, not reckoning other expenses. The cost of a prisoner to the state, on the other hand, is 50 oents a day, and supposing that ho is demineci for 20 years , which is the maximum period, in prison, he would have cost 3,6.50 florins only, or about a twentieth of the sum he would have cost if he had been executed. The abolition of capital punishment would therefore, con cludes the North Rotterdam Courant, beside its other ad vantages, cause a considerable saving to the state. A H MIBANWB IMPATIENce. —A trial, arising nut of the substitution of a ehild, has just taken place before the Court of Correctional Police of Brussels. A working miner, named D—, had bee n marr i e d th ree years without hh: wife presenting him with any family. His desire for a son was, however, so great that he at length gave notice to her that he should separate from her if his wishes were not realised. In this difficulty the woman applied to a midwife, who, for a sum of 300 fr. agreed to procure the object desired. An un married young woman was found who was about to become a mother, and who, for 20 francs and a new dress of about the same value, agreed to part with her child, which would otherwise have been a burden to her. The wife had persuaded her husband that she bad been several months pregnant, and the moment for the delivery of the young woman having arrived,pf dine. D— removed to the house of the midwife under the pretence of passing the period of her confinement. As soon as the child was born, D— was sent for and the infant presented to him as his son. So far the comedy had succeeded ; but the midwife, in order not to compromise herself too far, had the child regularly registered under the name of its real mother. D— did the same for his sup posed son, but when the medical officer called to verify the two births the second infant could not be accounted for ; an explanation followed, the result of which was that the present prosecution was instituted against the three women. The facts having been admitted, the midwife was condemned to a year's imprisonment, the woman D— to a month of the same punishment, while the real mother was acquitted. The child, however : died on the 13th day a ft er it s bi r th. Th e most curious part of the affair is that the husband, not withstanding the judgment of the court, still maintains that hia wife was really pregnant, and that the child was hers. Two GAMEKEEPERS SHOT.—The Dundee Advertiser says :—" On Monday, in broad daylight, two of Lord Kinnaird's gamekeepers were fired on by two poachers whom they surprised, and one of them was so seriously injured that he lies in a precarious condition. Two of the keepers, William Knap and John London, proceeded on their rounds, and on passing the farm of Littleton, oceu i pied by Mr. Reddie, on the Cooper Angus turnpike, the came upon two men in a wood. They were ar me d w i t h gins, and had snares, and the keepers at once came to the conclusion that they were poachers. Knap, who was i some distance from Loudon, inquired what the men wanted. They nil not niche any reply, and Knap thereupon signalled for London to come to his assist ance. The two men made off. Knap hotly pursued them ; and as be was gaining on them, they threatened to fire on him if he did not return. He did not, however, seem inclintd to obey the request, so one of the men levelled his gun and fired at him. The leads struck Keep on the face and breast, and he fell in consequence of the injuries he sustained. The men fed in all haste, followed by London, who kept up the chase with great spirit,. Loudon was unable to overtake them, and his progress was greatly impeded in consequence of receiving • shot in the legs. Mr. Reddie, of Littleton, as soon as helearned what had occurred, licked up Knap, and drove him to Rossie Priory. Vigorous efforts have since been made by the police to capture the delinquents, but as yet they have been unsuccessful. Knap lies in a rather dangerous condition, but it is expected he will recover. Loudon is only slightly in ured. THE LATE R AILWAY CATASTROPHE ON THE CALAIS RAILWAY.—Dr. Wm. MacCormac has returned to Belfast, and has found awaiting his arrival the following letter from the Administration of the Chemin de Fer du Nord, thanking him for the skilful and energetic aid he aff o rd e d to the wounded passengers after the recent terrible catas trophe, the particulars of which we have already given : .• Compagnie du Chemin de Fer du Nord, Rue de Dun kerque, Paris. Monsieur to Docteur Mai:Corn:ma, it Belfast (Irlande). Sir,—The different reports which have been sent to our administrative Council, both by the engineer in-chief of the line and by the surgeons of the company, have been unanimous in aignalising the intelligent and energetic assistance which you so promptly afforded the wounded travellers. Thanks to your generous devo tion, these passengers were able to receive imme diately the necessary aid, whilst awaiting the arrival of the surgeons from the neighbourhood, and from Paris. It was our desire to express to you without any delay our deep and sincere sense of gratitude, but we *ought in vain during several days to discover your name and address (which no one in the hurry and con fusion bad thought of asking), and it is only this day that we learnt it through your letter inserted in the Figaro. We, therefore, now beg to offer you our warmest thanks, and are happy in acquitting ourselves of a duty which it was not our fault that we did not sooner fulfil. Permit us to offer you, air, the expression of our high con sideration.—Baron"AXES Di ROTHSCHILD, President du Conseil d'Adminietration.

In 1851 the father of honer retired from the trust, and another brother of lady wo. appointed as the second trustee.

It wag that of Mr. Spencer Walpole, eldest son of the Right lion. Spencer Horatio Walpole, to the youngest daughter of Sir John Digby Murray, late lieutenant•colonel in the Scots Fusilier Guards. The Rev. Robert Loftus Tottenham, chaplain to the Legation, performed the ceremony, at which were present Sir Augustus and Lady Paget, and a large number of the near relatives of both bride and bridegroom. In an article entitled " A page of Contemporary History," published in the Perin anett*, and giving an account of various incidents connected with the late minis. terial crisis in Italy, the writer gives the following as a telegraphic despatch sent on the 16th of October from Paris to King Victor Emmanuel by Prince Napoleon:—" I have to inform your Majesty for your guidance, that the Council of Ministers, held under the presidency of the Emperor at Saint Cloud, has decided unanimously, less two votes— those of La Valetta and mine—to send a corps d'armi•e to Rome." That despatch, shown the next day by the King to the persona about him, led to the downfall of the Batumi ministry. MONBY MaiRERT.—(THIS DAT) 011 o'Orixii. In the Stock Exchange to-day the English funds show dulness, the dealings still consisting princi pally of sales. The price for money is unaltered, but that for the account is 1-16 per cent. lower. An adverse effect has been caused by the statement that the bulk of the sum available this quarter for the reduction of the National Debt has been used for the purpose of redeeming Exche quer Bonds lately held by the Bank of England. Home railway and foreign stocks, however, are slightly better. North Eastern are enquired for/ the speech made by the chairman, at yesterday's meeting of the proprietors, being regarded as satis factory.

Caledonian Rail way stock has risen to 762 to 77i, and Lancashire and Yorkshire to 1211 to 1221. Some of the foreign securities have likewise advanced, including Turkish of 1865 and Italian of 1861. Owing to the absence of remittances from Aus tralia and other quarters, combined with a limited supply of short bills on Paris, about 140,0001. in bar gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for the cantinent. During the week 65,000/. has been sent in from abroad, and 195,000/. taken out for exportation. The biddings for bills on India took place yester day at the Bank of England. The amounts allotted were :—To Calcutta, R 5.8.25,000 ; and to Madras, R 4.1.75,000. The minimum price was fixed, as before, at Is. 111 d. on Calcutta and Madras. Tenders on these presidencies at the minimum will receive about 49 per cent. ; those above will be allotted in full. No tenders were invited on Bom bay. It appears from these results that the rates paid by merchants are a fraction lower than on the last occasion. At Lloyd's yesterday 8 guineas premium were paid to effect insurances upon the Royal Mail Com pany's steamer Douro, which was expected to reach Southampton on Sunday last with full details of the recent hurricane in the West Indies. No real anxiety, however, prevails, the supposition being that there has been some delay in the coaling arrangements at St. Thomas. _ _ MINES.-(THIS DAY.) Messrs. Loewe and Langford, of New London street, have stopped payment, "in consequence of the great falling off in the shipment of cattle from France, and the general dulness of trade."

A meeting of the creditors of the London, Bom bay, and Mediterranean Bank, which was rdered to be wound up in July, 1806, was held on Toes- , day at the Guildhall Hotel, Sir T. G. A. Parkyns, . Bart., one of the liquidators, in the chair, a hen the report of the committee appointed at the meet ing held on the 23rd May last was read, and a resolution was passed authorising them to continue to act on behalf of the creditors, and to assent to such propositions as they may consider for the benefit of the creditors, and desirable to be carried' out, in order to put a stop to the litigation now going on as to the complicated questions arising out of the amalgamation between this bank, the Continental Bank, and the London and Mediter ranean Bank. Mr. C. E. Lewis, the solicitor, ex plained the present position of the liquidations. Mr. James Cooper, the other official liquidator,was also in attendance, and referred to the ‘aluable assis tance the committee had rendered to the liqui dation. 0311 O'CLOCK.
