Fairbenk were married in April , 1600, that shortly afterwards they prooseded to Jamaiew, and returned therm in 1646. He then settled at Donmat a r to peaches Eta' of a surgeon. At time he bed a of three daughters. one .if whom .übsequently died. and is We/ Emotes, the object al Mae rim* application, wan born. That nulasequently to hie NMI at Duncuater he and him wif e h a d v ar i ous owing to the intemperate habits of his wife. art the 2%th of September lad Mrs. Fairbank left am% taw" g with her their youngent daughter, and that rniebenk bed not been able to diacover the whereabouts iof Me algid ewer since. There wan no doubt, however, Uri Mn. rairbeak knew where she 11161/, for in the course 11111111. proceedings in the county court iu November kid an sorb en to that effect. In conclusion. Mr. Fabsak stated thAt Mn.. Fairbank being without Maas, an Well es on ,of her habit., wan An unfit pawn to lave the matedr of the child. Mr. Overriel. now *hewed called againat the rale. Prima facie it moat be admitted a lath., was in all cases entitled to the custody of his child : it must also be admitted that the Add France.. Fairhank had been removed by her mother from beneath Mr. Vairbank's roof. but that was dote entirely for the pr..tection of the child, to aye her from being contaminated by the grow. immora lity of Mr. Fairhank as well as from his cruelty. Mr. Fair. hank not only lived in adultery with Another woman, but he hail actually introduced the adultery.. into hi, hoiwe,and had thua been guilty of the conduct which in the eye, of the law disentitled him to the custody of his children. About five yearn ago Mr. Fair. bank took ono of the union workhouse a young , woman named Vietori, Kendall, who WAY then 16 year, of age, and nuide her a servant in hi. hone. After three year. hail elapsed there was no doubt Mr. Fairbank formed an adultenein connexion with this young woman. This allegation was supported be the affidavit,. of Mn Fairbank, the two Mien Fairlunki. and Jane Broughton, another servant in the fam il y. Upon one feecreeion ictoria Ken- , dell'. bedmoini door wa, forted locked, awl oho herself was miming. Mr. Fairhank was alai mooing although petiente were waiting for him. Not had he left the hotter, for all • hi. bat. were hanging up in the hall. Victoria Kendall', door rem einol cared for three hours, and Mr. Fairbank re. rimmed hid for three hour.; and until at length one .4 the • ihnieghter., hearing a "creaking mare" on the stales, wand out .f her num, and aim her father proceeding Irma the direction of Victoria Kendall'a room. This she 04111111101110 A to her mother. From a subsequent inventigation by Mn, Fairbank nod Jane Broughton, no • doubt woe. left upon their mind. that upon the occasion of her being n,i.wl Kendall hail hail a miscarriage in her ro.M, 101.1 til.tt Nlr. FAirlannk wan in attendance upon her. .lane Broughton depoaent to sleeping in the acme room with Victoria Kendall, and having twitted her with being in the family war, and recomineutled her, elf vuch wan the caw, 10 mention the matter to Mn. Fairhank. To that Victoria Kendall replied that she mull not .1.. so, as Mr. Fail-- bank might have something to nay to it. Victoria Kendall had declared upon a preerol4loccuainn to Jane Broughton that ohm hoed Mr. Fairbank. la consequence of the relation. aut.. states' between Mr. Fairhank and Viet...lie Kendall, as well an on account .4 her ilinramectful manner to her mietrem, • Fairbank itincharged her from her servioe upon the Ist of May last. And to show what were the feelmp of Mr. Fairbank both toward. his wife and towards Victoria Kendall, four affidavit. were put in stating that after Victoria Kendall bad left, Mr. Fairhank's diary wan found exposed upon his table,and this entry inserted on one page •• Victoria Kendall has left my howl° thin day, after four year.' gaol and faithful 'berme." while on the oprnite page appeared in Mr. Fairhank's bandwritin4. Mn. Fairhank will awn he blazing in hell." Flutmememtly a fragment of a letter wee picked up which wan in Mr. Fairhask's handwriting. It eornmenced " Dear Kendall." and appointed a meeting with Victoria Kendall on the platforn, of the York station. The Lord l'hief Justice law, it appear that Mr. Fair. hank is living with Victoria Kendall now! Mr. (teemed-- my tont. After Mrs. Fairbank with. drew from her hu.laud. home, Victoria Kendall was re. called, and she had been living there ever since. The elder daysiden had likewise withdrawn from the house. but they bad so objrntion b. return if Victoria Kendall was dismissed. Mr. IludiDriest said that Mr. Pairbank denied in the moot distinct moaner that he had ever maintained as adulterous co nnexiva with Victoria Kendall, or that he had ever been in 11..1. loodroorn. Also, from his experience as a surgeon, he moth, take upon Isimaelf to state it wu highly impodsitile that.he had had a • upon the ceerion referred to, inunitich a. it would have impossible for M to have subsequently proceeded with her work, an it was admitted she had done. And if opus any occasion be W rocomumendod that Victoria Kendall should sot be called spoor to do hued work or to carry heavy burtheas, it was bursa w was swain she hail a weak ankle. V for Ibo wiry in his diary, is which it was stated that bo wired so much ill feeling towards Mrs. Pair. hands, swlasattno suss Nut Mrs. Pairbank was is the SsSN of constantly telling her servants they " would Nam in hell i" and that what he wrote yea not that Victoria Kendall bad that 43y left hi home after four year.' good and faithful service, sod that Mee FUrbook would shortly blaze in hell, but that Viliosia Kendall had left his house after four years' Wahl service, and that for that she did not doom lo Mom is hell (alluding to the expression so coostead4 la the mouth of Mrs. Tairbankl. Tina it mu troe he did =Neatly write to Victoria Kendall in the terms but he afterward. thought better of Um matter, and he 431 not proceed to meet her. It was likewise true he I,,toroil Victoria Ken. dal ho Ms aerides after Km Furlunk had left, but that was bosun also had hero exeeedingly valualde to him, and had boos roost useful in iiiiitiros his utienta.

THE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP. (THIS DAY.) A telegram received in town this morning states that the fight between Sayers and Heenan resulted' in a drawn battle. Th.. content !anted two hours and five minutes, and wan of a moat desperate cha racter. The !scene of the fight was at a place near Farn borough. Heenan in repremeuted to have been much punished. Another and later account says : " The tight commenced at 7.30 this morning, near Aldershot, and lasted two hours and eight minutes; forty rounds were fought ; a severe contest, end ing iu the ring being broken into. The battle un decided." GREAT TIRE AT WIZENWICH.-(THIS DAY.) This morning a fire broke out in the extensive mamma of Mr. W. Huntley, sash maker, and known as N9lsel's Wharf, Greenwich. Vast streams of water were thrown upon the blazing pile, bat the flames continued to defy the exertions of all present, And mounted so high as to be distinctly seen from almost every part of London. The fire was not extinguished until the premises of Mr. J. Huntley, Mr. P. Corbett, boat builder, Mr. .1. Stapleton, smith, Mr. .t. Tearer, mast maker, Mr. J. R. Hooter, coal merchant, Mr. S.

Part of the loss will fall on the Phcenix, Sus, and other offices. Raise is due to the military sad police for their assistance. MONEY MARKET -THIS DAY. Two olhooi. The funds this morning have been well sup ported, although very little business is going for ward. Console are now quoted a trifle cheaper than at the cleft yesterday. in the share markets there is no variation worthy of notice. The general appearance of the Stock Exchange is firm. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter were quoted 70fr. 20c., being lie. lower than at the close yester day. The New Victoria Six per Cent. Debenture« are quoted 104 to f. Business in these secmities may be said to be for the moment suspended pending the adjudication of the new loan.

The present quotations are 941 to for cash, and 941 to 1 for the 9th of May. Bank Stock has been dealt in at 225 and 223 ; the Three per Cents.

Under the influence of a fuller supply of money, the discount market yesterday was somewhat easier. The best short bills were taken at the Bank minimum. Unexceptionable paper maturing within three or four weeks was even discounted at a frac tion lower. For longer periods, however, the former rates were current, and six months bills could scarcely be negotiated below 6 per cent. At the Bank a fair amount of business was done. Advices from Caracas to the Bth ult. state that the extraordinary council has authorised the go vernment of Venezuela to negotiate a loan for five millions of dollars, intended for the London and continental markets. The Suffolk has arrived from Melbourne with 129,0001. in gold, a considerable portion of which will probably remain here, in the absence of demand for the Continent. The City of Manchester, from New York, has brought 23,0001. The bar silver by the Tasmanian has been sold at its. 1 la. per ounce standard, showing no change in price.. . . • Owing to the =seasonable weather, English wheat sold yesterday in Mark-lane at an advance of 2s. to 3e. per qr. over last Monday's rates. The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 4,0791., and the Brighton an increase of 4,2011, owing partly to the Easter traffic. The weekly traffic return of the Great Western Railway of Canada, just received, shows an in , crease of 1,2001. sterling.

Tll3 COTTON AND Como P LAN T& —Atie o nsta are now being made to introduce the cotton and es plant. to New Zealand. Coffee-berries how Ceylon sad cotton-seed from China have arrived at Auckland, and both are now deposited in the ground in the faith of yielding profitable results. Seeing that orange. and lemma, and other delicate fruits, are already successfully cultivated in the northers portion of the colony, sad that grapes of the best quality are grown in the province of Auckland, there is so masc. wk the ooffee and tha coons-plants should not be oho cult:vated in this land of promise.— I NM Sodom{ (Load* ESOlll4l4lr, April IA THE MILL ON THE FLOSS. * Perhaps the must obvious and easy form of criti cism upon a new author, whose fame is. befflzming to disturb the sleep of the Princes and Dominations of the literary world, is to remark "a sad falling o ff." The public are as glad to be delivered from admira tion as from a debt. In the Voltaire and D'Alem bert correspondence there is a letter from the phi losopher in Paris to the philosopher in Switzerland describing the reception of a new tragedy by the author of Mallow& "Of course," writes D'Alem bert, "they say of it as they say of everything you publish, this is the weakest thing be has done.'" The first thing the public are ready to perceive is " a falling off," and this shrewd perception is sometimes stimulated by critics, who of minim are never by any chance dissatisfied or neglected rivals. For it is well known that " the literary world," properly so called, is peculiarly free from any taint of envy, walk)°, or uncharitableness. However this may be we are obliged, after a second reading of the "Mill on the Floss," to express our delighted gra titude to the author for a book not only not infe rior but in some respects superior, to " Adam Bede," and it would be impossible to select a higher stanard of comparison. Adam Bede " was a revelation to the public of a genius at once brilliant, subtle, and profound, which discerning eyes had already discovered in those exquisitely humorous and pathetic " Scenes of Clerical Life.' , The highest and choicest gifts were seen in those pages allied with the largest and finest culture ; a Shaksperean universality adorned with the learning of all the schools—a learning so lightly and gracefully worn as to seem nothing more than the natural expression of a refined and polished intellect ; a wit penetrating and lambent rather than caustic and consuming ; an intense psychological insight into the recesses and byways of human character and motive •, a faculty of observation wonderfully familiar and acute ; a suppressed emotion breathing through deep thought like a contagious atmosphere of sympathy, and a style unsurpassable in its finished and melodious simplicity. Here was something very different from the staple products of the circulating library. The coarse carpentry which passes for construction, the sentimentality and smart ness which pass for passion and wit : the violent and stale improbabilities which are called "situa tions," the waxen dummies which serve for heroes and heroines, all the tawdry and tedious conven tionalisms of vulgar novelists were wanting here, and in their stead nature and truth appeared at the magic summons of a chastened and consummate art. This is how "Adam Bede" took all hearts by storm, and surprised thousands of sickened novel readers into enthusiasm. The book was felt to be something new in its poignant truth no less than in its power, fresh out of the depths of feeling and experience. " The Mill on the Floss" is pre-eminent in all the qualities that have made " Adam Bede" a classic in the literature of English fiction ; in force of con ception, in thoroughness of workmanship, in feli city and finish of style. From the first page to the last it would be difficult to fix upon a trivial or vulgar thought, an idle, conventional, or care less phrase. And yet the design of the story, the characters, the scenes and the situations, are stu diously unromantic, and on the canvas of a less skilful artist would be considered "common." Your ordinary novelist, working in the spirit of a playwright, selects his scenes, his characters and his situations from the theatrical point of view, with an eye to "dresses, decorations, and appointments." Were he to take them from the daily life around him in town or country, he would never pierce through the outward rind of circumstance to the core of mystery within. Renee the factitious, artificial, unreal life of novels ; hence the moral and intellec tual mischief of which novels—now that they have almost superseded poptry and the drama—are some times susceptible. The author of the " Mill on the Floes ' belongs to an exceptional order of writers who never sacrifice their art to • moral, or their moral to art, because their art is always an expression of the purest morality, and their morality is always consistent with the highest art ; and the two are inseparable. They never preach, and yet through all they write a searching and subtle ;Fee runs ; and the reader is insensibly stre ened, refreshed, and elevated by the vigour , ealthfulness, and sin cerity which are stampc:d on every page. It is a striking characteristic of this author's genius that it willingly selects its objects from the vulgarest and dullest class of society—the class, we mean, of well-to-do, " proper," and correct people, from whose beaten and narrow path of creeping cares and sordid comforts all the wellsprings of emotion and romance seem for ever intercepted and shut out. In " Adam Bede" the scene was laid among very rustic , and simple people in a midland county, and the hero was a carpenter. To be sure, we have very high authority for this preference, and it is the privilege of true insight to fashion out of the dullest and coarsest materials one of the eternal dramas of human joy and sorrow. The weaker sort of novelists fly at " high life," or plunge into very low life in search of superhuman beauty and ugliness, virtue or vice, in castles or in hovels, in muslin or in rags. Not so a writer of the George Eliot order. Such a writer as this is at once a poet, a seer, and a com poser ; • poet to create, a seer to divine and inter pret, and a composer to set to noble words the " still, sad music of humanity." The intimate harmony of all forma of art is curiously illustrated in these pages. What cunning draftsman or potent colourist ever drew and painted with a broader and firmer hand, or with a surer and more sensitive touch, a landscape so thoroughly English as " Out side Dorloote Mill," or " Garum Firs," or " The Red Deeps," or an interior so life-like and minutely real as " Mr. and Mrs. Glegg at home " 1 These pictures start into life as we read, and haunt the memory like • vision of early days. How different from the daubs of careless and ill-taught hands ! Here is no extravagance, no excess, no sacrifice of truth to " effect," but while the method of the artist eludes perception, we find that every touch has helped to bring out a perfect result. Observe, too, how the broadening "Floes" runs through the story, as it does through the scenes in which the story moves, like one of those mysterious recurring themes in Beethoven's symphonies, or like a chorus in the ancient tragedy, at once a monitor, a witness, and a messenger of fate. The catastrophe with which this story ends is no sudden or hasty caprice of an author embarrassed with his own creations ; it is neither forced nor hurried • from the very first page it is prefigured and foreshadowed • and, painful as it is, we could hardly, even in poeti cal justice, wish it to be otherwise. For though it may be the fashion of the circulating library and of the stage to resolve all things into final bliss and marriage, it is not so in the world of fact • and, after all, there are complexities, and calamities, and heartaches in this world of ours, from which death is not only the sim plest and happiest, but the only possible release. The eternal struggle between love and duty is only one of the commonest of these complexities. If Maggie had lived to marry Philip, and Stephen Guest to marry Lucy, each with a divided heart, Mrs. Grundy might perhaps consider such a termination cor rect and satisfactory (and it would certainly have the weight of precedents in its favour), but to our thinking it would have been not the lees painful and repulsive because hearts are perjured every day. The " Mill on the Floes," taken as a mere novel, surpasses nine-tenths of the productions of inrn ea : ;:e in*usta i dial un ed loc oign i e s ere: th itn e gstitnpharoriintnengesgpe?switoon:afus,ticiinnugnssreadtzwiactrbtihloesnune7dut,of tears ; mereturn tur n s; novel irresistibly t(pßamhuesertushtbainarepseg omwtdthepliansaicressedceouptotihnoeanatenipolyomqw:,ulliresinisegisons,bm&Ayedtaagßedmoer: ), than a novel.

Idro give an abstract of the story of "The Mill on the Flues" would be to give a v ery inadequate idea of its merits ; for the i story, ntereltiug and absorbing as it is, is sim plicity itself. It is the wonderful abundance and variety of what we may call characterisation that makes "The Mill on the Flom" seismic. Taketke " Boy and Girl " . in the first book, f or example : the wayward, tinPulsive, fretful, impatient, passionate, atmaitive girl ; the sturdy, doinmeeritig, practimd, unsentimental boy; was the mind of boyheed and girlhood ever so dissected and laid bare ? Female novelists are fond of making men of their heroines and women of their heroes. Geome Eliot never commits that wilful and ridi cul ous mistake. " Torn," the boy, is " father of the man," and " Ma4e," the child, ix woman to the core. Mr. Tolliver, farmer and miller, seemingly pros• perm; but sunk in embarrassment, always "at law," and cursing lawyers as the agents of Satan, more and more convinced that this Istria is a pas• cling business, sad determined to give his boy a " scolard's oldie:4lon ;"—Mr. Riley, the sleek, and Mr. Wakern, the sharp, lawyer ; Jobs. Tuiliver, the plump, a ff ectionate, feeble, and mildly peevish, and Her three sisters, "all Dodson* ;" Mrs. Clegg, the bitter ; Mrs. Pullet, the tearful ; Mrs. Thyme, the sallow and sour, with their husbands, art- not un worthy of the hand that drew Mrs. Poyser. Who ever has lived in the country, or in a country town, knows them well, and recognises* the likeness of each distinct in its individuality. Even naughty and know ingßoh .lakem, who " knew directly he saw abird's egg, whether it was a swallow's, or • tomtit's, or a yellow banuner's, found out all the wasps' nests, and could set all sorts of traps ;" who could " climb the trees like a squirrel, and had quite a magical power of detecting hedgehogs and stoats"—with what a true loving hand this well-known comrade of our early days-0 f Jodi comiteeque—is drawn ! Then the "schooltime," the "first half," the "holi days," and the awful miseries of grammar mid Euclid to a boy with a concrete and practical turn, under the auspices of a classical tutor who believes in no other sort of training for the young idea ; how we live over again our boyish troubles when we accompany Tom to the parsonage of that broad chested, healthy, and kind, though incompetent preceptor, the Rev. Mr. Stelling ! Philip Wakeza, the deformed son of the hard lawyer, who has the perception of an artist, the heart of a poet, with almost womanly tenderness and capacity foe suffering, is a pathetic character, and it is a mas terly stroke of art that makes the need of love in that withered life immense, and snatches the object of his hopeless passion away. What are we to say of the love imbroglio between Stephen Guest and Philip, Maggie and Lucy 1 Are we to object that Mr. Stephen Guest is somewhat too refined and ac complished a cavalier for the son of • provincial wharfmger ; rides too well, sings too well, dances too well, talks too well, and is altogether superior to oilmills ? No doubt he is a little exceptional in these respects ; but had he not been exceptional in taste and culture, he might indeed have jilted poor little Lucy, but he could hardly have taken the passionate heart of Maggie by storm. Such cross-purposes in human affections are unhappily by no means unusual, but never were the per plexities and contrarieties of passion, the feints and artifices, the self-deceptions and the conflicts of a divided heart seized with more consummate skill, or by a subtler hand. Maggie may seem to just ify once more that merciless epitome of her sex, "acorn pound of duplicity and self-sacrifice;" but where is the woman that will throw the stone, or the man who will not pardon her ? Besides, she is an ex ample of selfish passion overcome and of virtuous devotedness triumphant, and she dies innocent and pure as when a little child she stood and with we know not what presentiment of lovt lz an death, ou the river rushing to the sea. We could ill spare fur the sake of any happier conclusion the final chapters in this surprising book—a book that will most assuredly live.

Some time ago the brigantine Nancy, of Teign mouth, Devon, was brought into that port in a most disabled state. She had previously' been run foul by a vessel and stove in such a way that it was a wonder she did not founder long before she could reach any . port. Again, on Monday last, during a violent gale of wind from the west ward, and heavy snow squall, the rill-fated Nancy was seen from Lytham, near Liverpool, about three quarters flood, to part from her anchors, and, being helpleady disabled by loss of foretopmast and other ngging, to drift amongst the breakers on the HOMO Bank. Here she immediately sank, her crew clinging to the rigging, seven grasping the stump of the foremast, and two the mainmast., from which a flag of distress was to be observed. It was evident that not a moment was to be lost. Fortunately, everything was in perfect readiness at the lifeboat-house of the Royal. National Lifeboat Institution. The trained crew of the boat were as calm and collected as if they were going on an ordinary excursion, instead of venturing on a most hazard ous undertaking, with the seam rolling on them like noun. tains. However, the lifeboat was launched, and every one . of her crew seemed determined to perish himself rather , than forego the attempt, at least, to help the poor ' fellows who were imploring . their succour. After a Wd • pull of one hour and a half, in the floe of a violent gale, • the wreck was at last reached. The crew of eight men and a lad were found perfectly benumbed and exhausted. Two of the lifeboat's crew had, at the peril of their lives, to ascend the rigging to fetch down the poor boy, who was quite helpless, if not senseless. There can be no diubt that a few hours later the whole of the eufferers mus e have perished, for it appeared absolutely im. • possible that they could have been saved by anything but • lifeboat. The master of the Nancy has publicly ex. Mehis gratitude and that of his crew to the Nations,/ at Institution, for the preservation of their lives. He spoke very highly of the lifeboat's behaviour on the occasion, and particularly of the superior management on the part of her crew. He stated that he had been at sea all his life, and had aeen a good deal of lifeboat manage ment, but he had previously seen anything so weU done. During the past year this same valuable life'sat of -• the institution was instrumental in rescuing eighteen persona from three wrecks on the same dangerous bank.
