IHE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1860. THE SICILIAN INSURRECTION. The following letter, describing the beginnings of the Sicilian insurrection, is from the pea of an Ynglish gentleman, whose family have kindly placed it at our disposal for publication : April IS, 1660, on beard the atosiner Milan. Dear M.,—l trust you hare tecoirod my kit latter, for I have sot been obi* to writ• minor, an all communication hie bees stepped betimes Marina and Naples. I could not send yea • line by the Prim& bads, and the Neapo litaa steamers have ceased canying either letters or pawn or* far the last tea days, se that since I wrote to tell you !that there had bees an owthank on Wednesday, the 4th. ?there hes bees DO possibility either of writing from or leaving Palermo, which I much regretted, as you must have 'wondered what bad haninss of mw . . . . I will give yea so exeunt as well se I ma of what has happened during the last ten days at Palermo and of the revolution is the other parts of the island. Yea will in all probability bare far mum about it in England than we id in Palermo. all commanisotion with the country having been eat off, and no one allowed to leave the town without a written order from the police. Sicily has been in • ' vary disturbed Mete for some time, so much ao that bat few tourists have crossed over from Neste* this year, and an outbreak has been constantly exposed from day to day, sad the town was full of troupe, the garrison consisting of nearly ten thousand men. la fact, to confidently wee it exported, that I put off the expedition I had intended to Messina, Catania r and Syracuse, preferring to wait a little longeg r and the event proved that I was quite right in so doing. Well, on the evening of Tuesday, the 3ed, I was sitting talking, after dieter, with Mr. and an Americas gentleman, when the head-waiter, who was a Modeseee, came ap with • very mysterious air, and mewed me that the revolution was going to break eat the salt morons'. I did not pay say more attention te this intisr Sue than I had does to other* of a similar kind from the same person. This time, however, he was right, for shoat 4 o'clock on Wednesday morning I was awoke by firing and shouting in the tows ; so I get up and dressed imme diatekr. On g iing downstairs I lewd every one busy in closing the lowerwindoers and Inning thegatie—the firing still continuing. Of course, as long as the fighting lasted noire ventured out, far we found en going on to the bal cony that the bullets ware whistling about in very un pleasant proximity ; and we thought it advisable to Milan loam', se the firing was going en ciese to the hotel (the Trinarrid. Of course, at first we could sot ascertain anything of whet was going on in the streets, except that a batty of trews passed down the 'trot In which the hotel is leaded, firiag right and left en they marched down, though the windows were closed is all the houses, and little or seresistance was amde, in our street at lane. At nine o'clook the firing ceased, and I ventured into the street to look about ms. Certainly, close to the hotel there were but few signs of fighting having taken plea. There were bullet marks upon the walls, and anaday panes .broken from the soldiers firiagat the windows as they passed along ; but only from this and the istaierly &aortal appearance of the streets would it have bees supposed that anything named had taken plies I row a dead inesrgent lying is • side agent ; he and • woman who wee a servant mead of • Garman finally who lived close to the Trinacria, were the only people killed la our street. I bed • conver sation afterwards with man of the elleers of our ship, the Argus, who was in the street at the time when the troops marched down it. He mid that the only insurgents he maw were five or six men at the corner, cos of whom said to him, " Siete cos no," to which of course he made no reply ; marl at that moment the Neapolitan troops node their appearance at the other ead, and it was with great apparent sliffkulty that their Mime could get them for ward, as they did sot seem to relish the chance of being shot at frees the windows ; however, as no one did fire at them but the four or five men at the further end, they marched bawdy down, firing right and left at the home, killing one of the few insurgents in the street and one woman, as I mentioned before. Of comes, as the troops approached, my informant very quickly vanished down • aide street, and went on beard his own ship. In fact, the number of the insurgents was but small, and limited to • few wet ',eyed parties, and as they were not supported by the Palermitans en nesse, and did sot succeed in seising and occupying any important point in the city, It was, of Bourse, an easy thing for • force of ten thousand sees to pat down the affair at once ; otherwise b a d th e p a t erm i. Ups risen in earnest, sail there had been bard Arining. I think the troop would have been beaten—as they am young and newly railed, and, what is more, all New limns. The insurrection commenced, it appears, at the Capuchin convent, called the Gene* close to the hotel, and when it was taken by the temps, was given up to plunders the place was completely gutted by the Neapolitan eoldien, and the books of the library thrown out et the windows into the street, together with gamy thing else is the convent. and the men west about offering ' the convent books for eels for earthing that you bled to give for them. There was am beratital mind that I should have liked to have seamed, and maid hare psi. chimed for a few tzri, but I thought, en the whale, and ceder the circumstances, it was hotter to let sub dange rous lore elope, as it might in sack times bring yen into trouble. 1 was very much amused at seeing • certain book that belonged to the esavent library of by so means • respectable character, or what one would have expected to led in • coo! utual library. It evidently was sot Weeded to see the light in so unceremonious • manner. Neat the soldiers recounted to • gentleman how the cowed wee taken, and detailed his own valorous deeds in the amealt— how in one room he broke open a cupboard in which they found • Capuchin monk with • musket, who fired end missed him, upon which he fired in return, and shot him dead As the firing was not quite over, 1 ventured into the Via Toledo to see how thinp looked. This street Is generally so crowded that it is difficult sometimes to move along, but now not • soul was to be men, and the street, from its deserted appearasee, looked twice as wide me usuaL There was no one to be seen but mattered parties of troops. As I passed up the Toledo I saw • large hand cart drawn by three soldiers, cestaining the pole and peas and cooking utensils of the unfortunate Franciscans, which serval to give rather a lustier us character to the seem, and but for that, the utterly deserted aepect of the street would have been melancholy and dismal in the extreme--the windows and dens were all closed and the shutters shut, and no one to he seen, ex cept now and then a head would look out from a half opened door, and then withdrawn as quickly. At the upper end of the Toledo were bodes; of troops with braes field pieeee, and the square in front of the king's palace was full of them, and two gum were so placed as to sweep the Toledo from end to end. I did not see any prisoner, my self, but A-- told me that be saw some peasants tied to gether by the thumbs with whipcord, and he believed that they were going to be shot iontnethetely. I believe the outbreak was commenced by people who came in from the country, who expected the townspeople to rise, but they did not. Had they dorm so, I think the revolution would hare succeeded, for the authorities were panic stricken. Signor C— was out of his senses with fear, for his life would sot have been worth • bajoechoheelthe insurgents bees successful. I was told that the tenor he displayed was utterly ludicrous, though de cidedly not without reason ; for had the trams been beaten, the police and sbirri would have been murdered to a cer tainty, from the iuteuse hatred borne to there by the peo ple. From what I can gather from the residents, English as well as Americans, the tyranny and brutality of the police in beyond conception. But, however much the Palermitans hate the government, they certainly did act rise ; but they have been three times disarmed since 1848, and I do not think they have the pewee to do much, and from the enormous number of spies in the service of the government such mutual distrust has arisen that the Sici lians no longer centide in each other as they did in 1848 ; and though there is a great deed of talk, little is dose. Mr. —, who was staying at the Trinacria, west to &gest& with his courier. He wanted one to accompany him, but he intended making the journey in such a h urry, that I gave up the idea. As the insurrection broke out th e day he was to return, I was very anxious about him ; for though the affair was over in the town, yet I knew there was a great probability of there being lot* mends and in the country. However, at six o'clock he drove into the hotel, and gave me an account of what he had saes oat side. He had left &gait& rather bier than be had is terided, and in reaching a smell rills.e about half way ham Palermo, be found it filled with hoariest', about Meer 4(J) in 'lender, all armed. They were very civil to' kin& and advised lion on no account to proceed, but to stay with them that evening end go on to Palermo peat mooning. offering him the use .4 a h ow . la t h e v ill age if h e e w es le star Merv. r, h., very Wisely resolved to peek es, thank gnat diffic .lty was tls state of fear into which the driver of his ermine had Mime, who could hardly be in deed, by threat or pummels% to pith on. After passim( emend bodies of imamate, they at last arrived at the bet edgiest al the Neapolitans. As they approached, one of the soidiem ma out and ordered them to stop. This so feliebtemril the driver, that at first he woe unable to do so. Ups. which the soldier presented his musket at Mr. —'s Med, and threatened to fire. This, however, be did not do, is at that memsat they pulled up. After a long talk with the {Seer who Baste dud the out post, they were allowed to premed, bet it sea with greet difficulty they obt•insd pomades to per the city gates. The streets were so fa of troupe that they could hardly pees, especially eh Me upper end el the town. I met ia the comes ci the efliernosse who thought there would be another outbreak M the sight. This at the time I did not believe, for the pee* had shown each little energy or disposition to rise te the meeting, that, with the troops quite ready, and the bemelest points of the town in their hands, and the pieelpel Memo commended by field-pieces, I did sot think It petals that any farther attempt would be =de in the Isms, whatever might be the result of the fighting outside. The remit proved I was right, fee the Wye was quite quiet that night. The next morning we keened that theemmtly people had possession of the Bowie, end that the troops were marching out against them. A Meapolitea frigate that was in the harbour had her steam qt and steamed along the Marisa towards the Begaria to mast the troops, and shout nine in the rooming commenced firing on the inaurgeata with her two heavy 10-inch guns. I.— told me that from his ship be could see the party that the steamer was firing at. They were two miles of, end had planted • staff with the Piedmantese colours upon • small hillock ; the first shot he maid was beautifully directed, and fell right amongst them, but the fuse not being properly cut, the shell rolled down hill, and did not burst till it arrived at the bottom, doing no harm. All the other shots fell short, though they were firing for some time. The result of the morning's fight was difficult to as certain. It appears that the troops do not like to venture far into the country, and it is difficult to induce t h e Neapo. litan troops to make anything like • real attack, both sides preferring to play at long bowls, • game which is of course to the advantage of the insurgent& If the Neapolitan nom. menders are not bolder, and stifle the affair at once, the re volutionists will gain strength and courage, and they will lad the affair more troublesome than they imagine. They have succeeded in crushing the revolt at Palermo for a while, • blow which ought, of course, to be followed up at once ; if they do not take care they will wear out the troops with incemant watching and false alarms. The tows was quiet on Thursday night, and there was so farther attempt at rising, though, notwithstanding this, the city was placed in a state of siege, and looked as dismal and deserted as ever. A good many of those staying at the Trinacria had left for Naples on Wednesday afternoon, but Mr. and I resolved to wait till the next day, and go by the Neapolitan to Messina. The police gave notice that the steamer for Messina would not leave until the even ing, yet the passengers were to be on board by four at the latest ; so Mr. and I went on board, of course, at four, sad at half-past four we were quietly given to understand by the police that the government did not choose the steamer to ham, and amidst the denunciations of the foreigners and the mattered anathemas of the Italians, we were all bundled ashore again, bag and baggage. It was evident that the authorities did not wish that detailed accounts of the out. kink at Palermo should reach Messina, and so stopped the steamer at the last moment, and from that time no steamer left Palermo in any direction, with either mails or passen. ger& I was, consequently, unable to leave the pies or said • letter for more than a week. On being forced to go on shire 'pia Mr. and I went about half-part mix, as the orders of the police were that no one was to land from the shipping after seven o'clock. The boat that took us ashore bed keought a letter from the wife of Baron C—, asking the captain of the A— to take her and her leanly on board ; she had sent her dame de compainsie on board with the request. While escorting her back to the palace, she gave us • long account of how they were situ ated. It appears that at the commencement of the outbreak the Barrie had vanished, and was then in conceal ment ; and his wife, with forty or fifty other ladies con nected with the family, were then collected together in the palace without • single gentleman to protect them. They had consequently sent to ask the captain of the A— to receive them, which of course he could not do, more especially as he had been ordered by our government to receive none on board but British subjects. This reminds me eta German Jew who was at the Trinacria, who was in a state of great alarm, and, in fact, almost out of his seams. I showed hint • window in the house next to us whom the shutters had been smashed by grape-shot, and advised him to go and sit with his head there, as there were m nearly chances to one against a shot cooling in the same place ; but that piece of advice he did not seem to approve of. He came to me in • great state of alarm one morning, at hearing firing outside the town, and begged to accompany me if I went on board one of the ships in the harbour; but I told him I had not the slightest intention of doing anything of the kind. . . . . On Saturday night there was some firing at the other end of the town, or rather I believe close out side, sad they may that there were large bodies of insurgents in the country ; but it is impossible to know anything for certain,aa no one is allowed to leave the town or enter with out • written permission, and even with that it was hardly • prudent thing to do, as the Neapolitan troop. were plun dering and burning outside the town, and I could see with • telescope from the balmay of the hotel the houses in flames in the direction of the Begeria. In consequence, at one time it was difficult to get provisions into the town, as the country people were afraid to enter, many haring been shot at by the troops and plundered, on attempting to do so. On the Sunday night there was firing down our street, and I could hear the bullets rattling about my balcony in front of the windows, but really we had become so accustomed to it that I was asleep again before it was over. It appeared that the police, being in must of boatmen to assist in landing troops at the other side ci Monte Pellegrino to attach some troops that were posted at San Sotturo, had come to the quarter where the boatmen live to knock them up ; and the troops, who were ' hiveneckod at the end of the street in front of the public garde% seeing a number of people collected together, and sot receiving the word when they challenged, immediately commenced firing down the street, a fire which the police returned, till at last they found out their mistake, one which mays but little fur the discipline of both aides. That night the police-office was burnt with all the records of the police cases, which very much exasperated the autho. ritim, and th,:y arrested the head of the police in conse quence, though I do not exactly see what good that could possibly do. That afternoon two Frenchmen came into the hotel, having ridden across the country from Girgenti ; they reported the country was in insurrection, but could not give any information as to what war going on, but said they had been treated very civilly by all they met on the road. In fact, any danger that was to be apprehended by the foreigners was from the Neapolitan troops,who were allowed to lack any house from which they were fired upon. As long sea the town was in possession of the troops I considered it mate to stay ; hut had they been worsted they would certainly have committed peat excesses before being driven out On Wednesday, 11th, the Liverpool steamer, the Milan, arrived from Messina, and reported that an insurrection had broken out there ; but an far se the other parte of Sicily are concerned we know little about it here. . . English not being allowed to pass the gates, and obliged to keep in-iloors after seven, and not even allowed to walk on the Marina, and, besides, the town being in a state of siege, I determined to leave by the Milan for Gibraltar. _ . . After being out of Palermo about acoypl;;lltOers, I was surprised to see an individual on the quarter-deck whom I had not perceived before—for there were only two paseengere beside myself. Shortly after I was told that he was a refugee, who had hid himself onboard till the steamer yes well out to sea. He had been engaged in the affair of the Capuchins convent, and en finding that he and his friends were not supported by the people, and that the enterprise was hopeless, ooaoealed himself for more than • week, in hourly expectation of being taken and shot. Hearing that the Milan was in port, and about to sail for Gibraltar, he determined to make an effort to escape, but the gates were so strictly guarded that it was hopeless to attempt escape into the °Pantry. So two days be fore the Milan left he walked quietly past the sentry to the landing-place, took a boat, and, without having been taken any notice of, came on board the steamer. . . He speaks English very well. . . . . We have long churl about the revolution ; be says the reason why they attempted to nee when they did was that the policy had made so many arrests of the heads of their party that they were forced to attempt something, though not well pre pored. f forgot to say that ea we were leaving the port we Mani firing in the courtyard of the Fort, which com mand. th harbour, and we learnt that the authorities had just 'hot 14 persons, 3of whom were priests. . . .

Colonel DICKSON wished the bill to be disposed of, because there were several bills in which Irish members took great interest, and this was a matter with which Irish men had not the smallest possible concern, for Irishmen never did best their wives. (Hear.) He left it to moral philosophise to say how it was that in this highly civilised country a crime should Ai prevail which was entirely unknown in the sister island. earl Mr. BONHAX-C TER said that proeseutioos were rarely commenced by the wives themselves. The first step wan almost inveribly taken by the neighbours ; and be had no doubt that if the brutes pied whom the bill was aimed were placed in the pillory, they would be very gi ro i ng le h o tl hand l ed. When a man msde use of his to beat • woman, he virtually confessed I= 4 : pond punishment would be the most effectual penalty in his own case, and therefore, acting in the interest of the wife alone, he (the hon, member) should cordially support the bill. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CLAY should have preferred a motion for a select committee to inquire into the working of the present law, for he knew that amongst the police magistrates there was • very serious difference of opinion on the subject. .He wee aware bow unpopular it was to say anything aga inst the women, but really hon. milieus aussid to think that there was not each • thing as a bad women in the world. (A laugh.) He was sorry to my that • megitrat. e, whose district comprised one of the lowest parte in Loudon, in formed him that since the passing of the meant law the crime of wives getting drunk sad pawning their hod:ands' clothes had greatly isarsassd.

Hon. members hod no doubt all bad some experience of the venom of an aary woman's keine (Loud laughter.) But if they put it in their power to say, " You brute, I'll have you whi pp ed like • dog," he was sa tided that it would lead to murder unless it was accompa nied by some mode of obtaining divorce at • much cheaper nee then sow seined. (Hear hear.) Sir D. LEIGHTON observed that the right hon. gentle men appeals wee is error when he said that dogging could be °WY 'Abend on civilises after the verdict of a jury.

Daring the twenty years he bad been a visiting jus tice he bed knows forty or fifty persons so punished, but in only one case was it n to repeat the operation, and in that ass the man send himself well after a second ap plication of the lash. He was sorry to say that amongst the worst clams of female prisoners there was more misconduct than among the moat illdurpused of the men. The highest personal punishment that could be indicted on women was being put itt bona ; but it did not prove so efficient as flog ` ging was found to be in the male wards. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman COPELAND supported the bill. Lord RAYNHAM announced his intention so to alter the bill in committee as to give the magistrates, acting se parately, only power to sentence to a longer period of im prisonment ; but he should propose to give the magistrates in quarter sessions power to order a persou guilty of an aggravated assault to be flogged. (Hear, hear.) Wives who were beaten by their husbands commonly owed them very little for their support ; and they were genially spanking much better off while their husbands were in priBOIL, The house then divided : For the second reading 139 Against it This result was received with loud cheers. Mr. 8. ENTCOURT suggested to the noble lord the pro priety of seeding his bill to • select committee. Mr. HUME hoped the noble lord would not take the right hoe. gentleman's advice. (Hear hear.) Mr. NEWDEGATE eirortell the proposition. RAYNHAM t ought the house had bed ruffi cleat information on the subject, and could not therefore consent to refer it to a select committee. Sir G. C. LEWIS thought the question would be better discussed in a committee of the whole house than in a com mittee upstairs. Mr. HENLEY quite agreed that the question was in such • state that they had better take its discussion before the whole house. The bill was then ordered to be committed pro foetid to morrow (this day). Sir M. rzro said he had to announce that in the late division the number given was incorrect, the number ought to have been 109, instead of 139. The tellers bad agreed that • mistake had been made.

The meeting was attended by from 2,000 to 3,000 persons, but the members for the city were not present, being unable, at the present moment, to neglect their parliament ary duties. The Mayor presided, and addressed the meeting at eon. sidemble length, in which he contended for the right of the working classes to a participation in the elective franchise. Having reviewed the proceedings of former governments on the subject of parliamentary reform, he came to the pre sent bill, which as a moderate measure was entitled to every support.

Several ineffectual attempt, were made to get the horses off. Man at Arms, Petra, The Squills, St. Albans, Flitch, and The Brewer being the most prominent to get away. The horses at length quitted the poet on good terms, and then the stillness which the dome rayon of spectators had observed was broken by . a simultaneous shout of "They're off." The fi rst to show i n advance were Flitch, St. Albans, Petra, and the Brewer, and they kept claw company pest the Stand, where The Brewer took a slight lead with his stable companion Flitch second, St. Albans at their heels third, and Petra at his quarters next the rails fourth. Heading the next lot cams Blue Ruin andßiting Sun, CheeryChapandLongrange lying in the extreme rear. On entering the far tide Flitch and the Brewer ran nearly abreast in front, with Petra and St. Albans, who had been eased at the turn, next, and Twilight following than. Petra and St. Albans alternately led until after making the Grosvenor turn, and the next noteworthy change occurred after entering the turn straight. On pass , ing the stand the second time Flitch and St Albans raced for the lead, Tame Deer, who bad always been lying for ward, going on third, with Petra next the rails fourth, and Weatherbound next, Longrange being still in the rear. As they again quitted the straight, Flitch took her place, and Tame Deer took up the running, with St. Albans in waiting upon him. The (avow 1 rite bad now obtained a good position, which be kept with little variation. The first round the last turn I were Tame Deer, St.Albans, Petra, and Flitch, Lord Ports-1 mouth's horse having the little the beet of it. But the moe was now over, for St. Albans, full of running, came' away at the distance, and won by a lmith, four lengths be tween the second and third, bad fourth. The running up horses were :—lndependence, Birmingham, Gaspard, Pen sioner, Weatherbound, Rising Sun, Twilight, Precursor, Man at Arms, and Blue Ruin. Longrange was last but one, and Miss Dishy last. The inhabitants of Chester have every year declared that " they have never seen more people on the Cup day in their lives, and this assertion is fully warranted on the ptseat occasion. The streets, the row', and the walls were thronged not only by persons who took a pecuniary interest in the great event of the day, but also by crowds of pleasure folks who deemed the races a very pretty sight, and made it an opportunity for enjoying a holiday. Hiner weather could not have been desired. Not a cloud obscured the rays of the sun, which shone with a midsummer brilliancy. The only item of importance in the day's proceedings was of course the Cup, and it commanded twenty-nine runners. The favourite St. Albans, won with great ease, and, beyond recording' the fact that the race was run at a terrific pace from start to finish, we shall not add any comment to our description of the race. The success of St. Albans caused him to be backed for the Derby at 5 to 1. YORK SP} ACCEPTANCF.B FOR TUC Two miles. (70 subs Aso ., 36 of Underhand 9 9.

Hope, came into harbour yesterday to re pair defects. Yesterday, his Swedish Majesty's corvette, Najaden, 18 guns, Captain Ekman. from the Mediterranean, but from Gibraltar for Stockholm, arrived at Spithead. She saluted the garrison and port-admiral, which salutes were duly re turned by the saluting battery and her Majesty's ship Vic tory. Captain Ekman afterwards mine on shore, and was =led by the Chevalier L A. Venderbugh, Royal Norwegian Consul, to Admiral Bruce and Major-General Foster. The Najaden will remain hero until Sunday next, to enable the officers to visit the several navel witablishmente at this port, as also the Great Eastern. It would appear that the four Liverpool mer chants are not the only gentlemen in that town infected with a mania for addreaung royalty direct. There is a story now circulated, that shortly before the volunteer levee a certain V. R. captain in Liverpool wrote direct to Prince Albert, suggesting that the levee should be postponed, u the arrangements of his particular corps were not quite completed. The letter created much amusement, both at Court and the `ar-office. Colonel Phipps, however, waa instructed to write ► bland official reply to the effect, that as the arrangements for the levee had all been made the wishes of the captain could not be acceded to.

On one 00C26012 his lordahip was so doubtful whether he bad taken • correct note of the evidence of two wilmemes, that he ordered them to retire from the court, sad in their absence read his notes to the counsel on both sides, and got them to ogres, though, as might be suppcsied, reluctantly on one side, that the note wan correct. - . . Mr. Cd the crier of the court, said the Lord Chief Justice al so complained of the great difficulty in hear ing, and in consequence he (Mr. Cooper) had communicated with the gentlemen who attended from the Sheriffs'-office, but nothing had hitherto been done.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER-MAY 2. Bitting' in Banco.—(Before the Lord Cbief Baron and Barone Martin, Bramwell, and Wilde.) _NITBDON V. DICILSON.--Tar KAZYLLIIONE 117.1ICTION. This was an action brought against Colonel Dickson, one of the candidates at the election for Marylebone, by the plaintiff, a printer, for printing certain cards, /cc., used in his canvassing. At the trial, which took place before Mr. Baron Bramwell, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, 491. 104. A rule was subsequently moved for by damages for a mew trial on a point reserved, that under the lBth section of the act no payments could be made except through the auditor, and therefore there could be no capacity on the part of the defendant to enter into a oontract which did not come within exceptional clauses, by which candidates were themselves allowed to defray their personal expenses and advertise manta in public newsmen. Mr. now showed cause against the rule, which was by Mr. Cole, Lordshipem rule absolute. Judgment accordingly. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. MAT 2. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) In this case, which came before the court on the prelimi miry mseetion whether the late Mr. Chisholm, commonly called The Chisholm, died a domiciled Scotchman Sir C. Cromwell delivered judgment, After going care fully through the facts—a summary of which has already aeared in this journal—his lordship said the evidence not oely did not show that when the deceased quitted Scotland he bed no intention to return, but it rather tended to show that he had. Since then he could find no proof of any de sire to abandon his domicile of or• •m ; and as the burden lay on thaw who set up the • domicile to establish it by of lrmative evidence, he must pronounce against them, but without costa COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Iiiia 2.

This insolvent, who had been a licensed victualler near Kingston, applied wider the Protection Act. Kr. flargood appeared for the insolvent's wife, who had not been inserted in the schedule, for costa in the Divorce Court. It appeared that the insolvent's wife instituted a snit in the vane Court in October for a judicial separation on the ground of cruelty. The decree was pronounced in February for the separation, and the respondent was con demned in the costs. Mr. W. B. Young, solicitor, of Par liament-street, was attorney for the wife, and was inserted at 841. for coda. In November an application was made for alimony, and he showed cause that he bad shortly before disposed of his business at Km/Won. The wife had lately obtained an attachment for tbe caste. The insolvent had applied under the Protection Act to be released from the costs. Mr. Sargood submitted that it was not a case for the Pro tection Act. There had been culpable negligence to incur the debt, and the petition should be dismissed. Mr. Commissioner Murphy maid this was the first case, and the question was whether he could deal with the case on the first occasion or on the day of the final order. The insolvent wished to employ counsel in the case. He denied the alleged cruelty to hie wife. Tho Court wished the came to be argued, and adjourned it to Tuesday. CAPTURE OF FORTP•SEVEN BETTING MEN IN LIVERPOOL. About half-past nine o'clock on Tuesday evening a body of Liverpool police surrounded the entrance to the Albion Hotel, in Renehigh-street, whilst a number of de tectives went inside. On entering • large coffee-room up wards of 40 men were smembled, all of whom were busy in making up their books and noting down beta. Among the sporting gentlemen present, and who were taken into custody, was • lay magistr ate , and Mr. Thomas Ford, who was described in court as "the gentleman who makes beta for Lord Derby." Yesterday they were all brought before /ir. Raffles, together with Mrs. Ann Smith, the keeper of the hotel, chatwith being assembled for the purpose of betting. -officer,Stalman said that, on entering the room where the defendants were, he found a board against the wall with late telegraph news relating to races, betting, tic. Several detectives were examined all of whom stated that they found betting-hooks, lists, and other memoranda relating to betting upon nearly all the defendants. Mr. Cobb (solicitor), who appeared for the defendants, *untended that his clients could not be held amenable to the law, as not one of the officers could prove that he saw a bet made in which money was exchanged by the parties betting ; besides, the homer was a oommercial hotel, and every person who went into it and chose to look at the latest tehic sporting news could by no Mean, whatever be char with being a " sporting character." He might be • traveller, and might have just looked at the news out of curiosity. Mr. Cobb also complained of the manner in which his clients had been treated ; their pocket books were taken away from them, and even private letters from sisters, brothers, wives, and parents were opened and read. . _ . Mr. Raffles agreed with Mr. Cobb, and discharged all the defendants, with the exception of Mm. Smith, who was charged under the Act for the Supprewion of Gaming Houses with being the owner of a house in which people assembled for the purpose of making beta, and fined in the sum of 100/. . . Mr. Dean, who appeared for Mrs. Smith, has filed an ap peal against the decuuon of Mr. Raffles. The court was densely crowded during the hearing of the case, and the moment the decision was given there was a regular rush— to Chester, of course. On 'Change the conduct of the police authorities in making the seizure has been freely canvassed, and largely condemned. It was stated yesterday that had any of the persons attending the house been prosecuted, ample funds would have been raised on th "flap" in • few minutes for the defence. HAINARKABLE Deem—An investigation took place on Tuesday before Mr. Wakley, the coroner, at the University Hotel, Grafton-street, Tottenham-court-road, in reference to the death of an unknown female, about fifty years of age, under the follow in g very singular circum stances. About one o'clock on Sa turd ay afternoon, a house painter at work on the premises, No. 39, Woburn.place, Hassell-square, noticed the deceased sitting on the door sto No. 38, with her head resting upon one hand and it basket of lace by her side. After the lapse of a quarter of an hour he went to her, and finding her pale, unable to Mand apparently dying, he sought for a policeman. M re a half au hour after the poor woman was first noticed on the door-step she had expired. She was removed to the University College Hospital, where a post Nur tees exami nation was made by Mr. Andrews, the resident medical officer, who discovered the cause of death to be the piercing of a fish-bone through the substance of the heart. He had found eight wounds in the disphraghm and pericar dium, through which the bone had passed before it reached the heart. On a rigid search he discovered the blunt end of a fish bone, one inch and three-quarters in length, pro truding through the stomach, and piercing the heart. The immediate mu* of death was the lose of blood. The coroner having remarked upon the singular nature of the case, the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death."

The alteration in the prices of English leather are very slight, and there hoe certainly been some reduction in the cost of London market hides, but the sales of heavy salted hides that have been made during the month show no decline from previous quotations, while there is a disposition to con ce de in the prices of foreign butts. The sales of leather during the month have been limited, but the supplies have not been large, and there is no great addition to the stocks. The various sources of con. sumption—for the home trade and for exportation —con. tinue unimpaired, and additional army contracts for boot. are just issued; so that, probably, greater activity nay shortly arise. In raw goods very little hu been done ; the imports and sales are alike small. Salted Buenos Ayres cow hides have declined Id. to id. per lb., and East India kips are quoted ed. to Id. lower. Australian hides have folly maintained previous rates. Although so few South Amen. can hides have arrived into the port of London, the outports have been largely supplied ; and further considerable sr. rivals may shortly be expected ; adequate, we hope, to ro. duce some positive influence on the market. At Leaden. ball yesterday the same dull trade existed which has pre. railed throughout the month : dealers evinced very little disposition to purchase, but prices in general were unaltered. —(Fren) the Circular of Hews.

FREIGHT MARKET.—The activity in the Baltic grain businea has considerably abated during the past fortnight, and the rates are lower, especially from the Russian ports, whence many vessels have been chartered. The Cronatadt trade is exceedingly slack. The wood freights are very firm, and vessels do not come forward fre. Las business has been done than usual up to this peri od of the year. White Bea orders are now almost confined to deals, a little hemp, and a few tar ships. American freights continue steady. The Mediterranean trade, both out and home, is a little better, without much animation. The transaction s from A zof at 55a are exceptional. The mails still bring cheering accounts from India, and charters are passing on th is side, but as the freights offered do not compare with those paying abroad, memento are limited. The outward coal rates are quiet, and the quotations are about the same as in our last. Them is a little improvement in berth freights hence, but to the colonies they are without variation. Tonnage is in demand for West India outward voyages, and to many of the station.' a greater range of coal loading ports is admitted to promote chartering. Less is now paid out to the West Coast, whilst from thence there is no change in the value of shipping.— (From the Circular of Messrs. Sharer, Lamb, and Co.) SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. CASUALTIES.
