Tha learned civilian deplored the folly of the noble duke in yielding to these solicitations, but reminded the hereas courthe t that lila grace was at the time barely 92, w respondent was 35. As for the petitioner, be had actually hod the audacity to exhibit himself in Westminster with Mrs. Plunkett with whom he was living in adultery ; and he had stated in a petition which be bad presented to the Court of Chancery that when he married the respondent she was leading an unchaste life. George Lenient, master of the ceremonies at the Argyll s, Room proved that the petitioner had been there with Sirs. Plunkett, and that before her marriage the respondeat had been there as Louisa lieresford. Groat-examised by Mr. Ohambers—Never saw •a royal duke there ; but had seen a duke, though sot the Co. restmedent, The Argyll Booms were generally frequented by young persons, but they were sonietimea visited by *Merle b irds . " (L bulb-) Jane Walsh aid Hannah Itobionon, servants of Mrs. Plunkett, proved the adulterous cohabitation of the peti- Maur with her. Be James Wilde, in su mmin g up, °burred that since he bad had the honour of sitting in that court he had never karma so extraordinary • display of effrontery as that whisk bad been shown by tbia petitioner. Living with a woman in open adultery he bed actually oome down to Westminster Hall with her while his cue was bring tried, and asked to be divorosd from his wife on the ground of bee adultery. When this court was first established there were many that mid it would do a great deal of harm. There were many that thought so still ; but there were others who, knowing the great relief which it afforded, thought that on the whole the good preponderated. However, so far all would be agreed, namely, that the dieclosures that were daily made there of immorality and grossness of conversation were is themselves a great public *rd. It was an evil alike to the court, to the jury, and to the public at large. They bons, however, with those disclosures, because they were necoseary. It would not be In accordance with the spirit of our judicial proceedings that these investigations should take place otherwise than in public. in order th had at there might be no room left for say suggestion that stops boa taken to emend vim or to screen immorality. Bu t it was too much that the court should be obliged to in• quire into a case which could lead to no result ; because the petitimer well knew that his own conduct was such th was at he could not possibly obtain what be sought. It a cruel thing that sorb a suit should have been brought at all. It was true that there might have been some collateral motive. It might have been a motive of revenge against his wife ; or, seeing that the co-respondent had committed himself, tbe motive mUlit have bees a wish to extort money from him. He (Sir J. Wilde) did not know what the motive was, for there was no 'widest* upon that point ; but they could hardly h el p lootin g for something beyond what lay on the purism. The jury (a special oss) then found that the respondent bad committed adultery with the cm-respondent and with the two other gentlemen named; and that the petitioner had committed adultery with Mrs. Plaukett, but they did not find that the petitioner bad been guilty of cruelty or of neglect conducing to adultery. The court dismissed the petition, aid made no order as to ooets. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. -8-IT-RTING INTELLIGENTE• EQUITY COUILTI3.—Nov. 24. (Before the Lords Justices-) LOW O. storrmiDce. This was an appeal from the Viee•Chancellor Hindersley involving • question of some importaue u to eopyright. Mr, Shooter, Q.C., and Mr. Solsombevg, for the decad ent, moved to discharge the iojunction which had been greeted by the Vice-Chancellor ; Mr. Bally, Q. and Mr. Hardy c ue as plaintiff. The am was argued some days ago. The Lord JustioeTurner now delivered judgment. The sole qoution the court bad to determine was whether en alien (riend coming into one of the y e tish colonies and medic( there during nod at time of pub lication in this country of a work composed by the elite sad published in this country is entitled to copyright in this cavalry in the work en pub lished. The question depended on the statute sth and 6th Viet., c. 45; and there could be no doubt that hit p rowl slue of that statute eateoded to Canada, end was *ethic, to limit the meaning of the word author. It wee quite different neder the statthute of Anne. A mug plausible argutnent at upon the statute was that by the Canadian law ao alien coming into Canada smoked a copyright under the law there, and that was all he would acquire but there wu a confusion of ides.n this, for, though no doubt an alien in a colony was subject to the laws of that , eolooy, be chic became temporarily a subject of the crown, and entitled to the benefit of the laws affecting British subjects. it was decided in Calvins oue that ati alien Mud might have *minima, and get within this realm any personal property, and by the statute the oopyright is per -1 soul property.

Sittings in Beeoo.—(Sefore Lord Chief Jus tine Ede, and Justices Wilke avid Reatiug.) LLICI ROGEils. Mrs. Alice Rogan, the wife of lie. Nathaniel Racers. in June last obtained an order from this court, allowing her to transfer a large amoun t of personal property without the consent of her husband. upon the ground that they were " living suit by mutual oustint." Subesqueetly, Mr. &roc Mann. at chambers, stayed proosediage under this order, and in the course of the present teem this court granted • rule to show cause why the former order should not be me aside. This step was Ulna upon so affidavit, which stated that the parties were not livig apart in the usual meaning of the term ; the feats being that Mrs. Rogers, preferring • cou ntr y life, lived at Surbiton, whilst the doctor, preferring • town life, and being of studious habits, and expending much time at the British Museum, resided in Barton street, Westminster. He, however, frequently tidied Mn. Rogers, sod slept with her. Mrs. Rogers oasis into pm unakpropeity to the amount of 130,0001. on the death of her mother, and subsequently on her brother's death to 160.0001. more, so that her income was now upwards of 10.0001. a rear. This income was settled upon her.r. She allowed 4001. a year to Dr. Rosen, who had 00 600/. a year more of his own property. Mr. Qualm now showed cause spinet the rule being made absolute, and rostended that the order authorising Mrs. Rogers to assivn the property was well founded. He re ferred to au affidavit of Mrs. Rogers and Mr. Mallseoe, her attorney, which stated Me following oircumstanoes. Mrs. Rogers married her first husband. Henry Bumetead, in 1839, and by him bad four sous and one daughter. He died in 1d44, and on the let of January, 1836, she mar ried Dr. Rogers. On the death of her mother, in January, 181,2, she inherited, in addition to the settled property, 5,9541. of uremia estate, which Dr. Rogers wholly appropriated to his own use. Soma after wards " she found that thedoctor was desirous of ponseasieg himself of the settled income, which she refund to allow, and thereupon he tried several modes of annoyance to frighten her unto giving up her income, and knowing her dislike to reside with him apart from her children, he threatened her with • suit for the restitution of coujugal rights." He afterwards wrote to Mr. Mallenon making for an allowance of 1,0001. a year, which he thought he was entitled to. " considering how amply her children are pro 7 Tided for, and that her iacome dies with her." Oa the 20rd July, 1863, Mr. Malleson wrote to Mrs. Rogers, "1 have sees Dr. Rogers, who says he will not accept leas than 4001. a year, payable quarterly. If you will agree to give him this sum he will bind himself not to molest or annoy you or the children in any house you may choose to occupy, provided he has Sheet, to visit you at seasonable times." In Aaiun, 1868, Dr. Rogers wrote to his wife, "My dear Alice—The great and unexpected kindness with which you received me on Saturday and the happy evening we passed together encourage me to hope that our little differenoes may yet be adjusted without the farther interference of the lawyers. I have remind from Malleson the draft of a deed, which if you hen not seen it i can show you, but which I oertainly would not sip for anything like the sum proposed. Hitherto our separation has been voluntary, temporary, and concealed, and I am not going to submit to the disgrace of having it made compulsory, permanent, and public unless you ' gild the pill' much more handsomely than at present proposed. If we are not careful the news will travel to Melte., and will become known to all the religious end benevolent Judi tutions with which we are connected." "If you are willing to give me 1001. gauntly when you receive your divi dends, during good behaviour, it will be only about a tenth of your income, and I should think you would not like to offer less, or think it too much to secure the quiet enjoyment of the rest. Indeed I still hope that after con sulting your affectionate feelings you will yet resolve to give a quarter (1,0001. • year) to the husluad of your choice." As early as the 2nd Jane last, Dr. Rogers had notice that unless he consented an application would be made to thie court for permission to Mrs. Rogers to salmi part of her estate without his consent. The sum sought to be assigned was 30,0001.. and it was to be settled upon Mrs. Bogards daughter, who was to be married on the 27th July. _ It wet not until the 25th July that Dr. Rogers applied to Mr. Bane Martin for the summons, which was returnable on the 26th. On tbs morning of that day the settlement was executed, and the marriage took place next day. The learned counsel submitted ground s court that the rule ought to be discharged upon the that the parties to the marriage which bed been solemnised on the filth of the order of this court had not been brought before the court to show cause ; and further that Dr. and Mrs. Rogers were in fact living apart within the meaning of the statute. Mr. Garth, in support of the rule, said it was impossible for them to bring before the court the parties interested under the settlement, because they did not in fact knew the terms of that deed. He also contended that Dr. and Mrs. Rogers were not living apart in such • manner as the sta tute contemplated. He complained that a number of con& decrial letters had been set out in the affidavit, but this having been done he most say that there was so suggestion that it was from any fault on the pert of Dr. Rogers that the parties did not live together in the usual way. It was Dr. Rogers who wescontintudly asking for his conjugalrighte, and who complained in one of hie letters that his wife liked her children and her money better than her husband. He submitted that it was not unreisonsble when Mrs. Rogers had 10,0001. or 12,000/. a year, and lived in great state at Suroiton. that Dr. Rogers should ask for something more than 4001. • year. The Lord Chief Justice said that the court wee authorised to make the order in question upon an ex parte application, and upon evidence which should be satisfactory to them. It was an order that conferred • title, and this order had been acted on to the extent of affecting 30.0001. Under these circumstances they would be unwilling to rescind that order unless there was a legal right vested in some body to demand that this should be done. Ilia lordship, after referring to the circumstances, said he conceived that the parties did live on terms which brought the case within the statute ; and to say that there was any thing like that mutual mind of parsons who lived on affectionate terms would be great perversion of language. The affidavita showed, he mud say, that Dr. Rogers was very prominently acted on by mercenary motives ; be attempted to obtain more money by threats that he would avail himself of his marital rights, and he wrote • letter saying, "Where she is I have • right to be ; and she can't preen' a return to cohabitation • on which, is the Ounce of • sstiefutery settlement, I' am deter mined." That was—" If you do not give me more money, I am determined to compel you to return to cohabitation. * trader the circumstances, the court felt juatified in saying that the order, on the faith of which the marriage arid the settlement bad taken place ' must stand. The relation between Dr. Rogers and his wife would certainly not iodine the court to strain their powers to assist him in his applica tion, especially as he had no interest in the money, which was in the sole control of his wife.

In the &uth Wales district the most fearf ti gals that has been ezperiesind for many years, broke out about six o'clock on Wednesday morning, arid continued with terrific force till about four o'clock in the al tereoon. The wind was N. W., and the destruction of property hag been et great. At Lougbor the South Wales Railway wee completely flooded, and a long distance of the earthwork under the rails was washed away, and the test& was stopped for about ten hours. A portion of the telegraph wires was blown away, and all comm eatioe was stopped. At Donlan some costly roofs were dis mantled, and the tops of several sleeks blown down. At Aberrant Works a portion of the mill root was lifted ot, and at the Gadlys Wcrks the roof of the f orge was dismantled. The Aberdare Gas Weeks received considerable damage, and ems of the outbuildings are • complete wreck. The South Wales Railway station at Ninth was completely inundated, and serious damage was done is the town and to the skipping in the port. The Pride of Wales went ashore, about ten o'clock, on Aberavon sands, and may be , coo eidered • total wreck. She was outward bound with • eergo of coal, and said to be valued. independent of her ergo, at 20,0001. A large number of esemla wore driven on the mods; among them was the White Squall, laden with silver ore from Chili. A Prussian barque drifted on to North bar, and the Claudine, • beautiful iron vessel, is lying high end dry on the beach. The wall at the Pier-bead sustained a great deal of damage. The bouedsry wall of the Usually Railway Company. opposite St. lieleiewroed, was torn from its fonadationa, and the traffic on the Oystermouth line of railway was stopped till half-past twelve o'clock. The damage to house property wee very extensive, sad there were instance of trees tieing carried away bodily f ro m their roots. Two railway bridges were washedaway below Port Talbot, and temporary wooden Does were greeted iu the counts of the day. The damage to the skipping at Penarik wee not so great as expected. The steamboat oommuoicatioe between Cardiff and Bristol was delayed till the evening tide. At Newport tbs gale raged with much fury, and in the early pert of the magpie/ it was dearerous for warms to traverse public thommb. fuse, ie eciasequeeee of chimney pots, viatica, sod slates flying about in all directions. The shipping in the river suffered very much. The Edward Bernard, • fine brig, hailing from Southampton, broke from her moorings opposite the Rim Wharf, and was carried into a meadow on the other side of the Usk, where she is now lying high and dry. The tide rose five feet above its ordinary height. A schooner sstd a couple of smacks also drifted from their moorings and went ashore, but, fortunately, they were got MI again ; the brig Amity. is coming op the river, cut out &couple of sloops, end damaged them considerably. A bugs vessel, lying at anchor at the mouth of the river, ass drifted frost her anchors, and is lying high and dry below Gekkliffe. ROYAL HOSPITAL FOR INCUSABLES.—The annual I Inestin,j of subscribers to the above valuable institution took place y. 'toothy at the Loodon Torero, Alderman Fiero* presiding. The chairman explained the objects of the institution, which were to offer an asylum to those destitute parsons who in addition to their destitution suffered from sums incurable ailment. The receipts of the year had been 17,0001., the annual subscriptioos had increased by 7004 Theirestate had been sorehead, and the new home built, !weighed, and paid far, so that for the future earth 'deli. Meisel subscription would mean another individual receiv ing relief. They proposed sow to elect tea recipients, which would make the whole number enjoying the benefits et the leatitntion, inmates, 81; out-pensioners, 106. It wee proposed to raise a fond for the erection of an infirmary, the object being to gu.rd against the danger of an epidemic breakieg out among the inmates, sod thus aggravating Moir previous sufferings. One point remained to be noticed, and that was the subject of legacies. It was well known that whilst thousends of poor persons suffered from an in. enntde dismiss, there were also boodle& of wealthy per seas in a similar distressing position. He felt sure that it was only necessary to briog the cases of the former to the medics of the latter to ensure their sympathy and remem brance. The secretary then proceeded to read the report, which embodied the above facia, and stated the pecuniary position et the institution to be as follows :—Reoeipte for the past year, including belaaoe of 1,645/. from previous ' year, 22,8234. ; outlay —buildieg, purchase of estate, sup. rrinueramatea, pennons, &a, 16,8201. ; balance tended 4,0034 Mr. Tontine. M.P., stowed the adoption of the report, and made an eloquent appeal in behalf of the imegitntiort. Mr, Beating seconded the motion, ooticiag the het that the pension was more sought after than the horns. Be felt mire that if the comforts of the boom were more gpmerally knows the result would be different. The report wen thes adopted, thanks were voted to Om chairman, and Odd Aka we proceeded with. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. 1 1 Nov. 24. (Before the Sedge Ordinary.) BILOLDWOOD H. BIIOADWOOD AHD THE DUKE OF ST. ALBANS. After ear report left yesterday, a greet lumber of letters 'written to tbe respondent by the petitioner after the , separation were then put in and read. They wers crouched In the most maudlin language, and expressed the greatest 1 possible distress at being separated from his wife. In one of her replies she told him that she wan niche/ his "en. muoly twaddle," and informed him that a young sister of Laura Bell bad made ber appearance in the parks. fibs added, an • postscript, " The d-- *errant' are imperti. sent, and I mast get rid of them" Yr. Hawkins thee addressed the jury for the respondent. commenting strongly upon the untrustworthiness of the wilseesee by whom the adultery had been proved. He could not of course deny the charge against the Doke of Bt. Albans, because the evidence of the two women had bees corroborated by his grace's le t t ers ; but he asked the jury 1 , altogether to disbelieve the allegattose against the other two gentlemen who bad uot beep made oceterpoectseds, and who were neatly sot there to answer for themselves. Evidence would be &It to show that it wee the petiticoees own fault if his wife had gone astray.

THE TRIAL OF DR. HUNTER. After our report left yesterday, Mr. Merrick, the hothead , was p laced in the' box, but no questions were pot to him by Sellout Robins 4 on behalf of the proescutioe. In ores-exarniution Mr. Merrick rid that the charge of assault had not yet been disposed of. He went to Dr. Hester's three days before, but the reason of bils going wee not that Dr. Willis refused to atteod hie wife any longer unless the fees wets paid. Dr. Hunter told him that he could not attend to his ester any leerier unless the fees were paid, and he said he should require five guineas more for the next month. Witm er made an Arran/Unseat that the money should be paid, sad he would have paid it. but his wife would not allow Dr. Hunter to attend her any more. Witness was not in good circumstances. He had been • bankrupt shortly before. and did not pay his ere ditory anything. He owed • good deal of money when be left Brampton and Conduit-street, and after wards took the cigar shop is Baker-street, where his wife reeved. Re-examined—When Dr. Hunter told him be must have his fees he bad not heard mythic" of what he was sup pued to have done. It was not until Thursday, the 2nd of November, that he beard the full statement of what had occurred between his wife and the prisoner, and It was after that he went to the house at the prisoner with • horse whip. Berjeant Robinson said that this was the cue fur the pro secution. fierjeent Ballantine said be did not intend to call any witnesses for the defence. The learned counsel for the prosecution consequently proceeded to sum up the evidence that had been adduced in support of the charge. and Serpent Bellantine dammed the jury for the defence. Mr. Justice Byles then proceeded to sum up the case to the jury. Having explained the formal nature of the churn., his lordship said that the inquiry was one of a very peculiar character. It was not pre tended that the promontrix was a consenting party, but the defence was that her story was a wicked invention from first to last, and he did tot remember a cue where more fearful stickedneas was imputed by one party to the other. tin the OM side the prisoner was cheesed with a most atrocious offence, and on the other there was • charge of perjury of the most abominable de scriptioa. He did not see that apart from this trausaction there appeared to be the slightest imputation upon the character of either the prosecutrix or the prisoner, and yet, ono or the other had undoubtedly been gniltly of a most fearful crime. The learned judge then reed the evidence of the prcesentrix, and said that the teamed counsel for the prisoner had argued that items impassible that the offence could have been committed under the circumstances she had represented, and this was a matter for their oonsideeatioc, and it was their province to decide what weight ought to be given to this suggestion in behalf of the . In the course of the speech for the defence it sad bas suggested that the charge might have been the result of some mistake, but he did not see how it was possible to reconcile this with the fact deposed to by the proesoutrix, that after the occurrence had taken place the pr . teoner told her ha hoped she would not thick airy more of west bad happened. His lordship next called the attention of the jury to the cromexamiostion of the preeseutrlx, and to her admission that the tosses she did sot scream at the time the attack was made epos her was, that she did not wish to make • scene in the house, and that all she desired was to get out of the house as mu as the could. His lordship next referred to the letter that had been written by the pro ws/atria to the prisoner, and said that it the desire was to get something to relieve the present& from the pain she was then enduring, he did not think there was very much in her alarming the prisoner as " Dear sir," and certainly the word " dear " was written as shortly as pm giblet. This was the story of the promentrix. Was it the truth or wee it a fabricotion ? The learned judge then read the evidence of the remaining witnewies, and he emended by stating that the questious for their consideri6ou were, whether the prisoner bad committed the crime of raw under most discreditable circumstances, or whether the praseoutrix had committed wilful and deliberate perjury ; and he was sorry to add that other parses connected with bee must have been guilty of the same offerer. If the evi dence satisfied them of the guilt of the prisoner, they ought to say so by their verdict ; if they believed the cue that was set up for the prisoner, they ought to acquit if they were so puzzled and ro such • state of doubt and no awaking' upon the point as to be unable to come to a satis factory verdict, they ought then to apply the golden rule of the Meisel law of this country, and also my that the pri soner was not guilty. The jery retired at a quarter to four o'clock to delibe rate upon the i r verdict. They retuned into court at four o'clock, and found the primmer Not Guilty. The verdict was received with a loud buret of cheerio', which was with difficulty repressed. Serjeant liellanthso thee said that the charge of assault preferred by Dr. Hunter against the husband and brother of the prosecutrix had bees removed into this met, and he applied that it should be postponed to the next session. The application was granted. The defeatism% was then dieriarged ; and wheel he got into the street, he was loadly sheered by the mom who wore assembled. OZYTTAL PALM:M. 01111 BILILLING DAT. FRILIAT.

They were further chanted with steal* Mg front Mary.place, Somers-town, one hundred and a half weight of sheet lead, value 11. 75., the property of the Midland Railway Company. Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, of Frederick-skeet, Graell.hlD. rood, defende d all the prieoners, with the exception of Porter, Wills, Pengelly, and Sherman ; and Inspector Grb sop, Y division, wskthed the nee oa behalf of the Com mistime:, of iolioe. Polioatergerint George Parry, 14 Y, said, that from information he received, the previous night, at about • quarter to eight, he went to • house is Elstree street —• house that has lately been taken by the Midland Railway Company for the purpose of pulling it down—and totted the door fastened. Having pined rk ad- mission he went up two fights of stairs to the top wo shop, and found all the prisoners there with the exception of Sherman. The windows were all covered with pieces of oil cloth to prevent any ore from the streets seeing the lights and the fire bonne{ inside. The place was fitted up as if for persons to lodge to, end the whole of the prisoners were partaking of refreshment, consisting te pictures ofe, bread, beef, and fi sh. Round the spartment weref fighting men, Jack Shepherd, Claude Duval, and other personages distinguished in the annals of crime. There were also boxing gloves and single slicks. He, with assistance, took the whole of the prisoners into custody, and on going on to the rod of the adjoining house be found that it had been stripped of the lead. On telling the prisoners that he should charge them with stealing the laid, Partridge, Froome, and Berry, said they haul only been in the house • few minutes, and did not know that there was enything wrong going on. When the prisoners were at the polio* station be went to the shop of Joseph Whalley, • marine store dealer, of 68, Ossulstonof street, Souseratowa, and there found a large quaatity lead which oorresposoled with that that had bees taken from the root of the house in question. When he asked the marine store dealer of whom he purchased the lead he mid be could not remember. and when he saw the prisoners be said he could not identify any of them. The marine store dealer had paid Ts. for lead which was worth at least In. or 19s. Wills said be bad 3d., and Penally 4d. out of the mossy that the lead had been add for. In answer to Mr. Hickok., the sergeant stated be knew bony of the prisoners ae hard.working lads. He did not know that any of them bad been siondoted. The house in question was in • ruinous and dilapidated state. as were most of the houses that had lately been taken by the Mid. land Company. Although there were boxing-gloves in the room none of the prisoners attempted to box him. (A laugh.) The marine store dealer did not render him any assistance, bat threw every obstacle in his way. The lead be took from the marine store dealer's was nodes the counter. Mr. Tirwhitt rid the oonduct of the marine store dealer appeared very suspicions, and there was very little doubt that if he chose he could say who was the person who sold him the lead. It was strange that the Midland Company did not appoint sans proper person to look after the houses they had punoad The poltoe stated that some of the houses were in • dan gerous state. Many lade had been charged with petty pilferinp from the Midland property. Mr. Ricketts submitted that so fax as hie clients were cowered thee* wee no evideoce to connect them with the stealing of the lead, and therefore they ought to be dis charged. As for their being in the house for an unlawful purpose, that was all moonshine. They had goes there to bare a game and for amusement, and nothing more. He bed witnesses io attendance who would show that they were all hard working fellows, and therefore he (Mr. Ricketts) hoped they would be discharged. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded Porter, Wells, Peppily, aod Sherman for a week, end discharged the whole of the other prisoners. THE CATTLE PLAGUE COMMISSION. The following correspondence has taken place between the Board of Trade and the Bettie Pimple Com nansionera : " Cattle Plague cosmic-- House of Commons, Oct. i 4.

Milner Gibson, M.P., Board of Trade." " Office of Committee of Privy Cowen for Trade, Whitehall, Nov. 3. " Sir —I am directed by the Lords of the C ommittee of Privy dowsed for Trade to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 2ltk ultimo, addressed to the President of the Board of Trade, by desire of her Majesty's oomminioners ter inquiring into the origin, stature, and treatment of the cattle plague, to represent the importance of obtaining correct information respecting the number of horned cattle and sheep existiog in the country. The representation of the commissioners has received the prompt and anxious coosideration of my lords, and they entirely concur with her Majesty's comminsiooers as to the importance of ascer taining the stock of cattle existing in this country. If en& iDfOSIIIIIOOII were obtained it could not fail to be of great utility and interest at the present time to the agriculturists as well as to the public at large. It appears that this country is almost exceptional in not possessing returns of the number of its cattle. Unfortunately it sa for the chief division of the United Kingdom, England and Wales, that there is an entire &bosom of information upon which reliance can be placed as to the stock of cattle. Returns of the live stock in Ireland are ansually obtained, and the number in Scotland was noeitained in the years Itihs, 6, and 7. " The farmers in Inlaid and Seethed have readily fur nished this information by voluntary Totems, and sit is only in a similar way that the manse particulars could present be collected for England aid Wales. "The Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade are most desirous to promote the inquiry proposed by her Majesty's commiesioners, and will take immediate Vises ste work to invite the co-operation of English agriculturis of such manifest interest and importance. I am therefore to request you will inform her Majesty's commissioners dis thxt ord re will forthwith be given for the preparation and tribution of schedules for ascertaining the number of etch kind of live stock in Great Britain. The inquiry will be extended to Scotland, in order to obt ain the information for the three divisions of the United Kingdom at one time. " The number of live stook belongieg to individual per sons will sot be divulged. Aggregate returns of stock will be prepared for specified districts, and such results only will be printed and published by the oard of Trade.— I am, Sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) J. Emeenos TlNNElrr.—Mostague Bernard, Seq." TERRIBLE BOILER EXPLOSION IN MONMOUTH SHIEL—NEwPoRT, MONMOUTHSHIRE, FRIDST MORNING, Lest eight the Aberoorn tin works, diehard about eight miles front this town, was the scene of one of the most fear ful explosions ever known in the district, and unfortunately fatal results followed. Very little work was done during the day, owing to the nevem of the storm, and other cir cumstances. but it was determined that at six p.m. the usual active operations should commence. Accordingly • good number of men were put on the night tarn. sad everything went on as usual until about nine o'clock, when cos of the boilers exploded, and the brick work around it was hurled in all directions. It took a oonslderable time to clear the brickwork and other debris which had been thrown down through the force of the explosion, and the escape of water sod steam was oleo very great. It was won ascertained that five were killed, and tea or eleven were more or less injured, usual of them so !seriously that their lives are despaired of. Medical minium, was procured u soon as possible, and every attention was paid to those that were injured. Various reports are current uto the cause of the Implosion. The boller are been up thirteen years, eleven of which bad been in active work, and onsequently it was rather an old one. It appears that a practice prevailed at the works of stopping a day every fiv• or six weeks, In order to make a thorough examination of the Mate of the engines, boils's, he., and this seems to indicote that the proprietors did not save any expense in a proper super vision. One report as to the cause of the accident is, that the engineer and several of the others employed were at s upper at the time, end th at the y had previously shut up the escape valve, sod consequently the steam accumulated so rapidly that the plates could not withstand the lowered fares. Had not these saes been anent at the time, the probability is that the loss of life would have been much Arrestor then it wee. This morning, Hussey, of the Il i k a ide Works, and Mr. W. Adam, late of the Ebbw Vale Works, visited the Geese of the eataistrophe sad made a minute examination of the fragments of the exploded boiler. The result of their examination will be made known at the inquest. The coroner (Er. W. H. Bawer) opened the input this moraine, and after the viewing and itifisatkin of the bodies the inquiry was adioarned.
