THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVERING, JULY 12, 1861. :ItoN-CASED SHIPS. Mr. HORSFALL wi-hed to ask the Seendarr to the .I,lildra:ty whether the Admiralty had enfoiced the Rpenalties 'gaited the builders of the War ri or, Black Prince, esistance, sad Defence, amounting to 30,0001. each for the Warrior .m 1 Black Prism and 40,000/. each for the Resis tance out Def,nce, as stated hi the parliamentary return ordered by the Home of (Minions to be printed on the 21st day 11 June, lent ; and, if they had not yet enforced these penalties, whether it son. their intention to do so. And, whether the .I,lnuraltv had already given further orders for lett'..ling irun-etsed ships to any of the builders of the abov,..nattell remelt; and, if they had not, whether it was their intention to do so until the contracts they bad in halal were completed. Lord C. PA4 :LT wild these penalties had reference to two distinct set Vic... the ....e relit:Mg to time, null the other to labour and is:Aerie!. With regrid to time, various reasons existed why it was not adtisaide that the penalties should be iedicted, the most material of which was that various alteration. had 'men made during the construction of the vesarls. With regard to the labour and material, it was open to the &Janie( Admirilty to indict the whole or any portion of the pena!tiea, if they were not what they ought to be. With respert to the second question, two builders who had already had contracts were employed to build other yowls, Rod as far as hn Luew their contract.. had been satisfactorily perforated. others applied fur them, and it soon became a question how a rural school was to be deigned. In the tad the Privy Council settled the matter by giving the capitation grants to all schuole. The result was that they mere now absorbed by the large schools in towns, which did not want them, and to which it was never intended that they should be amigned. (Hear, bear.) He was afraid that the result would ho the same in the present case, and that under the semblance of giving aid to the poor schools an unnecl. eery augmentation of the pubic expenditure would take ',laze. He could not, therefore, acquiesce in the justice of the proposal that they should give aid to the private adveuture schools. (Hear, hear.) He said this iudepeudently of the objection that they owht not to enter iota competition with private teachers. One of the great diaadvautagis of the present system was, that it went into apparition with itudf. They made a standard, and because other people could nut keep up to that standard they made a second, and thus raised an opposition to themselves. (Hear, hear.) Then, they were asked to give grants to the ragged schools. He now turned to that part of the recommendations which had reference to the capitation grants to certificated masters soil pupil teachers, and which might be met by a minute of the Privy Council. He could hardly adopt the proposal made at p r es e nt. it would break up the system of pupil teachers, and this, for two mamma : at present the average payment for every pupil teacher was 15!., and if you only paid him 2s. fwl. for every :10 children you would pay him less than 41. Now thestrikiug off of thiesuia from thesalary of the pupil teacher would be such a blew that he was afraid it would be impos sible to carry on the system after it. It would amount to a revolution of the whole system. (Hear, hear.) The second raison was that the main difference between the monitors cud the pupil teachers was that the former were employed by the job, whereas the engagement of the latter extended over five years. For the fleet two years the pupil teacher was of little value, hut for the last three year* he was a valuable junior teacher. It was essential that they should matinee to be amentical for five years, and it would destroy their efficiency if they were to be replaced by monitors for a year or an, than to be turned off. With regard to expense, he hoped to lay berme the lionse in a few days a minute showing all the reductions which had been made, and he trusted that something more might be does in that way without impel' jog the efficiency of the mySteln. He wished to call the attention of the house to a point to which he had never before adverted. -he alluded to the position occupied by the Mariana Society to wards the Privy Council. That society was founded for the education of children in the doctrines of the church of Eugland He had no fault to find with the rules of that society, and the council had entered into a concordat with the society with full knowledge of their terms. It was, however, left to the discretion of the tnanagens of the schools whether they should adhere to those rules or not. Mr. HENLEY—The clergyman, sot the manager. Mr. LOWE—The manager or the clergyman, it made no difference to his argument. The result was that be was sometime. placed in a very difficult position. He was asked, as the representative of a public deportment, for • grant of public money, on the uzelerstaudiag that the manager or the clergyman would not milieu the rules of the society. It leis de.irable as a matter of economy that this question should be reconsidered by the National Society. That society constantly came and asked for a school for a pariah. If he granted the school for the whole perish he mu the risk that the manager would insist upon the berme of his trust, and act upon the rules of the society, and that he should thereby do an injustice to the diasentu% by excluding them from the school. lie was then applied to by the dissenters for another school ; they made out en irresistible PM, and the consequence was that two miserable wheels were established where use good school would have been much cheaper awl much more efficient. Untold mischief and heart• burning bud been created by this state of things, and be hoped his appeal us the subject would be taken into cotui• dezation by the Maimed Society. This was, however, adelicate subject, and he only alluded to it under a strong *ease of duty. He quoted the opinion of • right rev. prelate who had lately written upon this topic, that it would be well to reeerve the teaching of doctrinal points until the children bad arrived at a sufficiently advanced age for con. finnation. Three faults were found with the present system ; one was, that the teaching was superficial • another was, that the schools were not sufficiently diffused over the country, and the third was the complexity of the system. It was thought pourable that a system might be sego:Med which would remedy all these evils. He would briefly state the nature of the propositions which the governmeut intended to make, mid which would be ex plained more fully in a minute shortly to be laid on the table. They piojoesed to substitute for the present system of graduated payments, a system of payment in the nature of • capitatiou grant The question would be what ought to be the couditious of that capitation grant They thought they ought to be satisfied that some adequate results bad been obtained before they made the psymenta. They therefore proposed to give a capitation grant upon the attendances of a child above a certain mem ber, provided that the school was in a proper state, sod there was a certified 'taster iu it. They also proposed to create a fourth kind of certificate, lower than thus, now used, avail able for rural schools. They then proposed that the inspire tun should examine the children in reading, writing, and arithmetic, and that a certain proportion of each grant should be withdrawn if the child failed in either of those subjects. lie hoped this plan might havo some effect is eorrectiug those evils of teaching which had been complained of, and that the attention of each muster would in future be given to the WllOlO of his school. They did out aimed to break in upon the present system of pupil teachers. They would, if t h ese propositions were adopted, secure some test as to the manner in which each of the masters had done his duty. Some of the advautages of the proposed system would be, that the whole Privy Council organieution would be left intact, and a great deal of trouble would be saved in its working ; that the masters would be left much more free of control than they were at present, and the interference of the government would be minimised, and that the schoolmaster would Lave a much stronger motive for exertion than they had at present. lan this way too, they would carry out, se far as they could, the idea of the onemimiouers' report, free from many of the objections to the numlnuery which they had suggested. They were of ?elision that it would be expedient to continue to select wept:tore from the same clans of society as at present, instead of substituting schoolmasters fur the Inspectiou was oue of the evils inseparable front a central system ; but if it should be carried to too peat an extent, the hence would have the remedy in its own hands. Each denourant , tion now had inspectors of its own, and the house might at some future time put • check upon an increase in the num• bee of inspectors, by enacting that one inspector should be appointed to all the schools in • district, to whatever denomination they might belong. They had endeavoured to meet the case as well as they could, and they hoped to be able to place this department in a state of efficiency as far as the state of the case would allow. It was their constant endeavour to render the de partment as comprehensive, effectual, and he would add as /ceramics' as possible. (Hear, bear.) Mr. ADDERLEY said that the plan stated by Mr. Lowe would go far to remedy one defect of the prevent system, namely, that it did not cover the whole country ; and it would materially simplify and do away with much of the complication of the existing system. It was satisfactory to know that, after a long and patient investigation by the I Education Commissioner, the priuciulia of the present system were admitted to be the Pet which could be adopted. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the commission was on the whole of opuncin that the existing system of providing for the instruction of the poor out of a public fund should be continued, but it suggested that it should be supplemental by • system of local rating. Weighing the ad vantages of local control and management at its due value, it would he found on examining the plan of the commis sioners that it did not secure these advantage.. A discussion followed, in which Mr. Puller, Mr. Bohm, Mr. H. A. Bruce, Sir S. Northcutt), and Mr. Whalley took part ; the latter moved that the but capitation grant, 77,0001., be reduced by 12,0001., but withdrew the amend ment, and the vote was agreed to. On a vote of 77,4841., to complete the sum neceseary to defray the expense of improving the Department of Science and Art, Mr. LOWE said that if the committee would grant this vote he would take care it should not he spent until they bad placed the Royal Dublin Society in a proper relation with the state. KINNAIRD moved the reduction of the vote by tie sum taken for the Royal Dublin Society. Kr. GititiOßY supported the vote. This was not the lint time such • proceeding had taken place. A similar coarse was adopted some years ago with regard to the Hiberni4o Academy. Ile considered the government had exercised • very wise discretion in taking a vote for the lalLitiblinSoeiety. and postponing it until the society biW bad an opportunity of calling its members together. Lord NAAS only hoped that the difference of opinion between the government and the Royal Dublin Society would terminate in an amicable manner. lie believed a Tory large number of the leading members of the society were ready to throw the responsibility of the gardens upon the government, and to defer to the opinion of a majority in that how%) that the exaniple of /Cow and Hampton should be followed. Mr. LEFROY trusted the dispute with respect to the soeiety would emu terminate, but he thought. it was a rola take to bold out such threats as those involved in the mo- tion of the boo. gentleman opptedte (Hr. Kionsird). Mr. CARDWELL said be hoped the committee would samlion the vote, hecauve after they had expressed in so decided a manner the course the society ought to par ses, lie felt that no further obstacle to ea amicable arrange. smut would be offered. Mr. KINNAIRD said that after what had passed he would withdraw his motion. Lord W. GRAHAM then moved the reduction of the vote lry 15,000 f. for schools and residences at South Ken sington. He felt that the erection of those schools would net-imitate the expenditure of a much larger sum of money than that proposed in the construction of an ornamental frontage. Mr. - LOWE said the bnildinp themselves would be quite plain and unornamented, and would be capable of adapting themselves to any front. The government would not be be pledged to the adoption of any particular plan. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the vote agreed to - - 'iii6iRDWELL, la moving the vole for public educa tion he Ireland, pee full details of the number of echoohl and of scholars (amounting to (404,000, of which tiriS,ISS) were Roman isitholics), the eh..., of which they consisted, cad the notate of the instruction the pupils noticed, el plaining the principle of mixed education in the schools. He insisted that the rermlts of the system in opera tion had established a just claim to the con fidence of the people of Ireland, and to the support of parliament. He stated the conclusions at which the 4overoment had arrived in regard to certain changes indicated lust session, relating to model school; books, trustee schools, and in particular the constitution of the board, and he read the names of the new members added to the board. An animated discussion followed, which was interrupted by the Chairman being ordered to report progress. The house then went into eonuuittee upou the Saloon and Trout Fisheries Bill, the clauses of which were a long time under discussion. The priemer wu the. removed. The court WWI occupied during the remainder of the day with caves the details of which are unlit for publication. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Yoga, JULY 11. CROWE Courr.—(Before Mr. Baron Wilde.) ATTEMPT TO MURDER AT SHEFFIELD. Genrge Smith, 30, wan charged with shooting William Austin, with intent to murder him, at Sheffield, on the sth March last. Mr. West and Mr. Waddy prosecuted. The prisoner was umlefendel The prosecutor, Austin, is a sergeant in the sth Foot, and the prisoner was a private in the same regiment and in the same company. In January last Smith was confined, through the means of the sergeant, for ill-treating his (Sinith'e) wife. After undergoing this short term of impri sonment nothing of consequence passed between them until the sth of Mardi following, when, as Austin was proceeding to his own quarters, he met the prisoner, who asked him some trivial question relative to duty. Sergeant Austin Rave him an answer, and then went to take tea with his wife. While they were sitting at this meal the prisoner suddenly marched into the room with a loaded rifle, and fired it at the serzeant's breast. Austin, anticipating the intention, swerved on one side, and partially escaped the in jury intended to be inflicted. The rifle bullet, however, en. fermi one side of his neck close to the shoulder, and paring out at the other side, entered and made a large hole in the adjoining wall. The wounded man was conveyed to the hos pital, where he remained for some time in great danger, hut gradually recovered, and is now able to resume his duty. When the prisoner was being conveyed to the guard-hour, be said to the sergeant in charge of him, " Is Mullin dead r and further expressed himself sorry for not having finished the " job" better. From the cross-examination of the wit nesses by the prisoner, and the statement he made to the jury, it seems that the motive for the deed was jealousy, and that under the influence of drink he bad done that which he had no recollection of. The prisoner was found Guilty. and judgment of death was recorded against him. Thomas Thompson, 28, was charged with burglary, accom panied by violence, in the dwelling-house of George Storey, and stealing therein a promissory note, some bottles of spirits, and other articles, at Stanghow, in the North ou the Ilth March, 1859. Mr. Blanshard and Mr. Shepherd prosecuted ; the pri soner was undefended. The jury returned • verdict of Guilty. Judgment of death was then recorded against the prisoner. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Charles Adams, 38, Boleti Barking. 21, John Flaherty, 18, and °curve Batchelor, 18, were charged with • robbery and assault upon Anne Colliver. Mr. Sleigh prosecuted ; Mr. F. H. Lewis defended Batchelor ; the other prisoners had no counsel. The prosecutrix in this rase is • domestic servant, and at the time the occurrence took place she was employed io that capacity in an establishment at Coln) hatch, and she had come up to London for a holiday. Upon arriving at the station at King's-croaa, she went into the public home and had • glass of ale, and the pri soners got into company with her, and she was induced to drink with them, and there appeared to be no doubt that the liquor was drugged. She became insen sible, end while w that condition the prisoners dragged her to a low brothel, where she was robbed of all the little pro perty that was about her person, and Hawkins committed a felonious assault upon her. The unhappy young woman was found by the police in • most wretched condition, and it appeared that it was two days before she recovere d oat sciouauess. The whole of the prisoners were proved to have been concerned in the outrage. The jury found all the prisoners Guilty, and Hawkins was sentenced to six, Batchelor to four, and Flaherty to three years' penal servitude, sod Adams to be imprisoned and kept to haul labour for 18 months. The Recorder directed that one of the witnesses, named Moore, who had given useful information to the police, and materially aided in the conviction of the prisoners, should receive • reward of 40s. James DERRY Chapman, 49, warehouseman, who had pleaded guilty to the charge of not surrendering after hav ing been adjudicated a bankrupt, and to two indictments fur forging acceptances to bills of exchange, was placed at the lair to receive judgment. Mr. Cooper, who appeared for the prisoner, urged upon the court, in mitigation of punishment, that he had for merly filled a responsible position at Yarmouth and Nor wich, and that when he set up in business in London he had • capital of 8,0001., the whole of which had been lost. The Recorder, in pasting sentence, said the prisoner's offences were of • very serious character. In the first place, it appeared that when his creditors bad commenced proceedings against him in the Bankruptcy Court, he disposed of all the property be could lay his hands on and left this country, and by so doing deprived his creditors of a considerable sum which ought to have beau divided between them. In addi tion to this, it appeared that he had been carrying on his trade for a considerable time by means of forged bills, and under all the circumstances he felt it his duty to order him to be kept in penal servitude for four years. Henry Cleland, 24, was charged with stealing • ring and other articles, the property of Peter Powter. Mr. Lilley and Mr. J. Morgan Howard conducted the prosecution. The facts of this case have been given within the last few days. Tho prosecutor is an eating-house keeper in the Lower Marsh, Lambeth, and the prisoner was in his service, and there was no doubt that an improper intimacy subsisted between him and the prosecutor's wife. Upon being taxed with this he left the house, and in his box there were found • number of articles, the property of the prosecutor, and also a photographic likeness of the prosecutor's wife and the prisoner in one frame. The prisoner was convicted, and sentenced to 18 months' hard labour. Upon the application of Mr. Metcalfe the trial of the Rer. Mr. RO,, for forging a cheque for 6,0001., was post poned to the next session.

All descriptions of wheat corn. Handed the extreme rates of this day se'nuight. The in quiry for flour was restricted to good flesh qualities ; stale and inferior, of which the hulk of the stocks of English consists, being quite unsaleable, though offered at low and irregular rates. No alteration occurred iu the value of oats or oatmeal. Indian corn and Egyptian beaus were rather against buyers.

Barley rather lower. Oats more saleable, at previous rates. Beans, Ia per quarter higher. Pena la. lower. During the present week, the weather having improved, the trade has ruled very dull, and to effect sales some reduction has bad to be submitted to on all kinds of corn. At Wolverhampton yesterday prices were nominally unaltered.

Barley lid. to Is. per quarter clearer. Oats and beans nominally unaltered. A fair demand fur peas, at last week's rates.

Mr. KER wished to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, as a select committee had been appointed and was now sitting to inquire into the circumstances attending the termination by the Pistmesterf ;eneral of the pistil con tract with the it Atlantic Steam Navigation Company, it could Is correctly stated that the subsidy had been with. drawn, and tied the contract would not be renewed, under any cirennuitanees, by her Majesty's governmeot. Lonl LmEtorros ...hi the only answer he could give wan that the Rat-ogee authorities, as was well known, had intimated to the Galway company that the contract was at an end. What might be the result when the committee made their report be mak( not be expected to state. THE HUNGARIAN ADDRESS. Mr. DttNCOM RE wished to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Alfons if it was true that the English Am hess.elor at Vicuna recommended the Emperor of Austria not to receive the Illitipirian address, agreed to by the Diet at Froth, unle.4 such address fully recognieed his move. reignty end title no King of Ilungary ; an.l, if so, whether the British amhasoolor was acting under instructions from the government et home. Lon! PALM F.RSTON said he had not seen the report alluded to, but he ',odd not hesitate to any that there was not thealightem totireLition for such a report. (Haar.) It was highly improbable that the Austrian government would have asked for any advice of the kind, and, on the other hand, the foreign ministers accredited to Austria knew too well the habits and feelings of the government to intrude their opinion without being invited to do so. (Hear.) THE LAW BILLS. Mr. HADFIELD wished to ask the Attorney-Genesi when it was intended to proceed with the consolidation of the Criminal Law Bill, Offences against the Person Bill, and the Baokruptcy sal insolvency Bill (Lords' Amend tarots). The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the offences against the Pr non Bill would stand second on the order of the day for Mousy next. h was proposed with the per mission of the house to report progrPoil ii, committee of sup ply between eleven sad twelve o'clock, iu order to give an opportunity of discussing the only clause of the bill which was likely to mi.. iliseussioa. It was important that no delay should occur in this bill, as the progress of the other hills in the other house of parliament was delayed thereby. It was the intention of the government to bring on the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Bill for discussion on this day week. Lord HOTHAM maid it would be for the geuend conve nience if the nolde lord were to state how it was proposed to deal with the Lonls' amendments to the Bankruptcy Bill. Lord PALMERSTON hoped that by Monday he would be able t‘p state to the house how it was proposed to deal with those amendments. FIMCATION. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mir J. eAKINI ;TON called attention to the report of the Education Commission, with the view of learning (accord:ll to the tenns of his notice) to what extent her Majesty government intended to adopt it. recommendations. He recapitulated the views and the arguments he had urged upon the Louse in former yeses on the sub ject of nati o n.! education, in relation to the number of the uneducated, the want of school., the early age at which children left the schools, the necessity of local agency, and of a larger amount of public aid, and he read extracts from the report, which, h. said, supported, and in some respecta adopted ideutioally those views. Ile gave a summary of the coo elusions at which the commiseicione had arnved, and of their recut lelatimis. They said that, whatever might be the merits of the present system, it wan not adapted to agreed education so widely as was required. Among their recommendations they iscluded lead iespection and con- Ind, and a lend rite. Flo drew the attention of the bowie to the position iu which thin question stood with refer. mice to public grunts, which there woe a disposition on et the government to discourage, and he eseapWued of the denial of aid to ragged school., a edam greatly needing such assistance, sad espewally deserving it. It was proposed, he remarked, in the esti. mates to vote 100,000 f. for the improvement of science and art, out of which sum prizes awarded to youths of the higher classes were paid, while 15,000 schools were lan. malaise for aunt of succour. The general character of the report justified him, he thought, in saying with confidence that tie present system could not meet the requirements of the Nation. He did oat, however, press the government to reek* say datiaite announcement of their intention, considering the voluminous and complicated nature of the report, but he hoped tbst the subject would receive their anxious attention, and that at nu distant date they would be prepared to le- .eilate upon it. Mr. lIESLEYsaid that the report tended towards the adoption of a system or secular education, of which Sir J. Paltington had toileni , wred to obtain the adoption in that house ; but, at the same time, it admitted that the present system was the only cue which could secure religious educe tad, inch aa was thought necessary in the present stets of public opinion. The right hon. gentlenieu defended the present system in contradistinctioe to that which the report SUPPLY. The house then went into committee, and upon the Tots of 643,7241. being proposed for public education in Great agtein. _ - hlr. r. LORE said the estimate for this year was neemearily forwarded to the Treasury before the report of the coma [ragmen, sod the consequence was that no trace wee to be found in it of any opiraort, or of any maims the government night have adopted upon the report. The edit:nate was of a very ordinary character, being only 740001. in seems of the estimate of last year. Notwithstand ing the fault toned with the present _system the corn mullions?' recommended that it should be coutinned. He would Dot ray that in that they expressed the opioioa of the whole country, or that of philosophers and abstract thinker., het he believed they expressed the views of those to whom the exideDee of general education in this country was due. If the government spent 4,1409,0001. in educating the be it ivate liberality lout spout doabl e th a t sum , nod be ralt pi:needed that the questiou of education would be regulated by the opinion prevalent amongst those in whom hands the system was now. An long as they who paid the money °moldered that the present system was the bed, so long would it he coutioned. (Hear, Lear.) He might, therefore, se! at once, that there WWI no intention on the part of the government to tufriuge on the or„unic priscipts of the system--(hear, hear) — Le meant the deuce, • atioual origin of it, it being founded on the support of the religious bodies—the aystern of grants from a entre' ofdoe in aid of local sulecriptions and the prin ciple of inspection. liters was nu intention of chimp in any of these respects—Omni—end so far it was the deter mivatiou of the governmeat to continue it unimpaired. The next poiet was, how they should remedy the faults printed out ; and in order to dud the remedy he looked into the report itself. The ilingeosis of the commissioners was good, and he wished to know if they supplied a cure. First, as to the question of expense, they recommend the abolition of book grants, rud they originated a scheme which might relieve the grant from the central board. But as it consisted of • transfer of payment front the central to county boucle it was a transfer like the late 11,. Liston's joke, who need to tine bimetal by tranafer . ring his money from his right-band pocket to Lis left-hand one. (Laughter.) Next, with a view to remedy the com plexity of the prevent system, the defects in teaching, and the imperfect development of the system over the country, they recommeniletl two kinds of grants, one paid out of the fund of the government, and the other out of the county rata The (unit :it the dispoul of the government for cept tstion grants they promote.) should le paid in certain propor tions not easy to be uuderstood, as the children were meter a certificated or melee • pupil telpher. That was the idam for the one. The for theother wasthata county beard eliiiiild lie appointed, that they should appoint the schoolmaster, that be ea. to e..avniim the chit/tree, and that • certain sum cif money shell he paid for each child who anew ereul fares:wily in reading, writim), and arithmetic. It seemed that that plan had the support of the ri,;lit h.. gentleman rippoeite. [Sir J. PAIIIIM7OII-1 dill not say No.] Well, it was asked if the goy. rained would I,rin; in a bill to effect that object. Now the houee would observe that the duty thrown upon the count) beard by this plan was purely ministerial. They had no docretion. The only discretion was a the schoolitisater, who might make • report favourable or other wise, and es inducer. the amount to be paid out of the county rate. Having done this the rest woe nuereiy toohaoicaL The advantage of boil control was guest, 1e,113 , 10 it led to economy and closeness of management. But the pretreat he warn now omaidering wetned to retain the evil sod reject the good, for it impelled on the couuttea the louden of pay meet but did tint give them the indemnity of management. (Hear, deer.) Neither, ea far an lie could Jude' feint the tone Of the house, was there any disporation t.. impose no the county rates say aiklitiowal burden. (Hear, hear.) These greets were to be given to all schools, sot merely to the wheels M counexion with the, board lout to ordinary adventure erliode. In this respect he thought they might take a wine lesson from the history of the emit tattoo grants. Mom grants were given in the first ta dame ta order to afield meistanos to the small rural whook Bat se sees as they were gives to those schools SUPPLY.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. JOLT 11. BMETHUBST V. TOMI.Dit AND °THUM-JUDGMENT. Thia was a demurrer to the pleas of the defendants, which had been argued some time ago, and on which the court now gave judgment. Sir C. Cromwell said it would homily material to consider the last plea of the defendants. Theiwill ran as follows " This is the lest will and testament of me, Isabella Benka, now residing at No. 10, Alma-villas, Richmond, in the county of Surrey, spinster . I give and bequeath to my be loved fr iend, Miss Jenkins, of Walthamstow, Essex, my brooch, set with brilliants and pearls, and coulain ing the hair of my late father ; and as to all my real and personal estate and e ff ects whatsoever and wheresoever and of what nature and kind mover the same may be, I give, devise, and bequeath the same unto my sincere and beloved n-iend, Thos. Smethurst, Dr. of medicine, now also of No. 10, Alma-villas, Richmond aforesaid, for hie own use absolutely and for ever." It then appointed Smethurst sole executor. The plea of the defendants was that after the alleged executiou of the will, and after the decease of the testatrix, namely, on the :10th of Nov., 1859, Smethurst was convicted. of a certain felony (bigamy), and was sen tenced to a year's imprisonment. It was also pleaded that the specific legacy of the brooch had been renounced by Miss Jenkins, hut it was not material to consider that circum stance. The only question was, could • felon be an executor, and could be claim probate of • will after hie conviction There was very little to be found iu the books on this subject, but the authorities clearly established these propo sitions :—let. That when • will bad been mule, and no executor appointed, the ordinary could not exer cise any discretion as to granting or refusing probate ; but that, if he refused the grant, it must be upon the ground of some legal disability recognised and allowed by the 00M131011 law, and not by the canon law only. 2ndly. That • person appointed executor, notwithstanding . ..conviction for felony, and notwithstanding au outlawry or attainder, might still be an executor, and exercise all the rights of one. This showed that the office nas not forfeited by outlawry or attainder, and where a testator was himself an executor the subsequent felon executor would represent the original tes tator. The only question upon which any doubt could be entertained, was whether au executor having been convicted of felony after the testator's death, was in a condition to ask for probate ! His rights as executor were derived from the will and not from the probate. Before probate was issued he was in possession of all the testator's goods, and might bring trover or detenue. But for such things as lay in action, although he might commence, he could not maintain an action before probate. Ile might before probate, how ever, pay, receive, or release debts due to his testator. His rights to exercise the functions of executor remaining unim paired notwithstanding the attainder, it was difficult to dis cover any satisfactory reason why the party should not be allowed to perfect his title as executor by proving the will He (the judge) could not find any authority for saying that the plaintiff should not be permitted to prove the will. In Swinburn, part 1, sec. 4, it was said, ' whosoever is con victed of treason or felony, as he cannot make • testament or last will, no more is he capable of taking anything disposed of by testament or last will. But if • mau being attainted of felony he admitted to his clergy I suppose that he lawfully may be made an executor.' And it appeared by • note that a felon not admitted to his clergy, being condemned to death, was considered as dead in law, and therefore in capable of being executor— a reason which was no long er applicable to the subject. For these reasons he (Sir C. Creaswell) was of opinion that the plaintiff having been appointed executor, and his office being in outer droit, and not forfeited by the conviction for felony, was still en titled to exercise the rights of an executor, and had • right to perfect his title as executor by proving in that court the due execution of the will by which he was appointed. The other questions in the cause, and the question whether the will hail been improperly obtained or not, must of course he determined hereafter. Dr. Phillirnore, Q.C., asked for Dr. Smethurst's costs. The Judge said that they must await the result of the seam BENT V. BENT AND FOOTMAN. In this cam the petitioner had obtained a verdict against the respondents with 1,0001. damages against Mr. Footman. Dr. Fhillimore, Q.C., moved that the fortune of the wife (1,6781.) might be settled upon her for her life, with apower to dispose of so much of it as the court might think fit. Mr. Pulling resisted the application. air C. Cromwell said that the petitioner must place 1,0001. is the hands of trustees, the intermit to be paid to the re• spondent so long as she behaved well, and while she re mainel unmarried ; when her interest had ceased, the money must be retained for the benefit of the children in equal shares. The damages might be paid to the husband, and the co-respondent must pay all the costa of the cause ; but the decree nisi would be suspended till the execution of the deed. Dr. Yhilllmoro then applied on behalf of tho adulteress for access to b r children. Sir C. die;nriiref uaed 1 the application. With regard to the costa of the application, the husband was to pay fur the deed, but otherwise the court would wake no order. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—JULY 11. (Before the Chief Commiseioner.) IN RE WILLIAM WOODLEY. In this case an application was made on the part of Messrs. Boddington, merchants, calling on the assignee to pay a large sum of money into court. A rule was obtained by Mr. Prentice, which now came on for argument., and occupied the whole day. Mr. Serj eant and Mr. Prentice, with Mr. Cotton, of the Chancery bar, appeared for Messrs. Bodiling toil, who were creditors to about 14,41:01. ; Mr. Sargood ap• peared fur the assignee. The insolvent, Captain Woodley, of the Royal Navy, was discharged under the act twenty years ago, and was possessed of considerable West India property. Two large sums were in divot. in the present rule-1,6001. received by a consignee who was now a defaulter, and about 1,0001. as to a Chaucery suit commenced by the assignee, and whieb, it was alleged, was commenced through the late Mr. Commissioner Murphy. The question's/as whether the assignee was liable for the defalcations of the consignee. The matter hail been before the late Mr. Commimiouer Phillips. The Met Commissioner has devoted some days to the ease, which was not ommluded when the court rose. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD OIRCIIIT.—Oxrosp, JULY 11. The judges of assize, Mr. Justice Hill and Mr. Justice Keating arrived in Oxford from Abingdon yesterday after noon, when the conuniesion was opened. This morning they proeet.h..d to the tiouhty Hull, when Mr. Justice Hill presided in the Crown Court, and Mr. Justice Keating in the Nisi Prins Court There wore only 12 cases in the calendar for trial, and these consisted of 2 of burglary, 1 cutting and miutaing, 1 of moon, 1 of attempting to commit a rape, 2 of bestiality, 2 of obtaining goods under false pretences, 1 of stealing cattle, 2 of petty thefts. No case of any interest was tried to-day in either court. MIDLAND ClRClllT.—Nornwerrom, Jute 11. The commission was opened here yesterday evening by Mr. Justice Wilke, who afterwards attended divine service. The, Lord Chief Baron nut being expected until noon to-day, Mr. Justice Willie took his seat this morning at ten o'clock in the Crown Court, and proceeded to charge the grand jury. • The cane at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice Willes and a common jury, were not such as to call for a report. CROWN COURT. (Before the Lard Chief Baron.) CHILD MURDIBIL Sarah Smith, 35, widow, was indicted for the wilful murder of her illegitin.ate male child, at Wadenhoe. Another count in the indictment charged her with canoed ing the birth of the child. The prisoner pleaded guilty to both indictments, but es she was evidently in great distress of mind his lordship refused to receive the plea, arid told her she would be brim:flit to.morrow have a night to Wok ci morning to plead again. She would thus MARKETS. CATTLE.—Eorssma, JuLT 10.—Agreeably to the in structions given by the magistrate', the market was held this morning for the convenience of those poetics who had not been able to get their stock forward in tine fur Tues day's market. The market began at 0 o'clock, and con tinued to 11 a.m. The prices of sheep and lambs were much the same as were obtained last night. Best muttou, from 7d. to 7ed. ; lambs, top price, 265. ; current, fir the best sorts, from 225. to 24'. ; middling and inferior, from 16'. to 20s. a heal. Cattle brought from 7s. 6d. to Bs. per stone. The supply of store cattle was large, but very few sales were effected. Irish stirks brought from 71. to 81. ; two-year-olds, from 91. to 11/.105.; milk cows, from 10/. to 171. Pip—Fed descriptions brought from 64. to 6s. per atone.

CHEESE.--3ALIBSURT, JULY 11. —Our monthly cheese market, held to-day, was shortly supplied with cheese, the greater part being of secondary quality. Buyers in attend ance were limited, and trade altogether was dull, particu larly at the early part of the morning, rather higher rates being asked ; but holders having receded somewhat in their demands, more business was ultimately done, and about two-thirds of the cheese pitched were sold at former rates. Skim cheese, 3Gs. to ; half cowards, 575. to 61s. ; doubles, 60a. to G4s. ; best Somerset+, 665. to 73. ; Ched dars, 73. to 78e. per cwt. THE IRON TRADE.—Braamoiraw, JULY 11.—The ironmasters of this district held their second meeting for the current quarter in this town to-day. The attendance was large, and the tone much better than at Wolverhampton on Wednesday, but there was an absence of spirit throughout. A moderate amount of business was done in manufactured iron of the beat brands ; for an inferior make there was very little demand, and sales were made with difficulty at prices as much below the trade scale as the difference was prior to the reduction made a fortnight ago. The prevailing feeling appeared to be that the trade will continue dull for soother two months at least, all consumers being indisposed to pur chase for stock. bet that after that time there will be a gradual improvement. At the present time some of the producers of " marked" iron have their works in operation osly three days a week. TRAFFIC RETURNS.
