Miss Dow&ty wee ia my house ever sins a year before I was born. That led to the most serious row we ever had. She went up to the housekeeper's room herself, for the posie of turning her out. I followed her, and she slammed the door in my face. I took no whip to her on that occasion. Upon that occasion she left the house, and went to Mr. Grans's, the surgeon's. Upon another occasion the cook rushed in and set "Minis will kill Sarah Carter." I went out and I found them in the ball, each having a handful of the other's hair. It looked like an artificial quarrel. The other servant then cams to the as WO of Sandi Carter, say*, —meif I shall allow a fellow-servant to be treated like that" Miss Hooper than seised the poker. The other servant said, " it, smash her!' I said to the second servant, " I will give you two sovereigns if you give her (Miss Hooper) a good hiding." With that, with one blow she knocked Miss Hooper down. My wife did attempt to take out a commission of lunacy against me some fifteen years ago. I used to keep a whip in the dining-room for the purpose of whipping the cans. I used to smack it at them. It was with the thick end that I beet Mims Hooper. It was most likely for hitting use at hard as she could. She did so 20 times. She threw a candlestick, a knife, and a salt. cellar at me. I did not throw any gravy at her as the war non spoken to.

Aeuthugly I drove her over to Stratford. She drew her money, and released Parry.

It was also quite clear that the pri soner had not endeavoured to entrap the prosecutor to marry her, but that on the contrary she was unwilling to do so, and that it was cooly in consequence of his earnest tatims that she at length consented. He then said that he was instructed that be should be able to prove that the man who had that day appeared in court, and was represented to be the first husband, was not the person to whom she was originally married. Serjeant Parry here interposed, and complained of the course that the counsel for the prisoner intended to take. He said that he had not oran-examined any of the wit nesses upon this point, and if there had been any doubt a s to the i&ntity of the first husband, he could have brought forward a great deal of additional testimony. He now proposed to call these witnesses in lull( to the case for the prisoner, or they might be examined the court . The Recorder requested the sister o the first husband to stand forward, and be inquired of her whether she bad any doubt that the man now in court, who was represented to be the prisoner's fiat husband, was her brother! She replied, certainly not. (Laughter.) Mr. Sleigh then said that after the evidence that had just been given he should certainly not tall the witnesses he had referred to, or attempt to prove that a sister did not know her brother, but should leave the case in the hands of the jury as it then stood. The Recorder having summed up, the jury found the prisoner thttlty, but recommended her to mercy on account of the prose utor having pressed her so much to many him, and the temptation being so great. The prisoner declared that when she married the prose cutor she believed that her first husband was dead. The Recorder said there was nothing in the evidence that at all tended to justify such a belief, and the fact was no doubt that she found she had fallen in with a weak silly young man, who had a large fortune, and she could not resist the opportunity of getting married to him. An offence of this description was, however, of • very different clam when the other sex was the injured party, and under all the circumstances he thought it would be a sufficient punish meat for her if she was imprisoned and kept to hard labour far two months. This was the last case, and the Rexorder in discharging this jury said this was the first time during his experience that the session had been brought to a ooncluaion on the second day. Ths whole of the chargescomnected with the frauds in the leather trade stand postpased to the January session. meat about a living • short time ago. I thought it was Spreyton, and that there woe something wrong in it. Mr. Lewis—Do you remember Mr. Poole coming clown and asking if you knew such • person as Mr. Chapman William—ln the course of conversation Mr.-polo told me it was a Major Chapman, who was acquainted with me and knew me when I was at Shirley; to which I replied I knew no such person. Mr. Lewis—Did be not ask you if jrou had not oontracted town your living to a person named Chapman Witnems—l said. he holds no contract of mine. Mr. Lewie—Answer me, sir. Did you not know that • r son . existed named Chapman, to whom you had sold your Mtnese ° —I did not consider I had sold the living. I conceived that so long as I kept the duplicate the contract was not completed. Mr. Lewis -Did you not lead Mr. Poole to believe that no contract existed, and that you never thought of such • thing as selling the living? Witness—Nothing of the kind. Mr. Lewis—Do you mean to swear you did not deny all knowledge of Major Chapman Witnem—l tell you, no ; it was in answer to a question from Mr. Poole as to whether I did not know • Major Chap. man who had visited me and been intimate with me that I said I knew no such person. I told Mr. Poole that certain letters had passed between Mr. Chapman and myself on the subject, but he was so excited be did not exactly remember what occurred, and himself admits now that I might have said so. lii,Paynter—l find in one of your letters to Mr. Chap man these words, " I had not intended to sell this advow son for less than 3,0001., exclusive of fixtures; but just now, for certain reasons, 1 will oonsent to your terms." 1M you all that a contract or sot The Court of Chancery would hold it so. Yr. Paynter (addressing Mr. Wontner) suggested the on. possibility of carrying the case any further. Doveton had made a binding contract with Chapman, who might have sold the living next day ; the fact of his wishing to sell it for 400/. certainly raised a notion of some unfairness, but he had a right to sell it for whatever be pleased ; it did not alter the fact of his having entered into a contract to pur chase it. After some discussion. Mr. Woollier mid he must bow to the magistrate's opinion. Mr. Lewis oomplained that hie client bad been unlawfully taken into custody sad imprisoned for a week owing to what bad occurred in the country between the rev. gentle men, and be had no doubt that when Mr. Poole left that court on the previous examination he had been under the impression that Mr. Doveton's letters to the primmer were forgeries. Me (Mr. Lewis) now applied for the 2051. takes from the primoser. It was stated that the money bad been gin= sp tYV a i 101111101 wife to the police, with the ream* that it was. was left of Mr. Poole's cheque.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the Rawer.) Mitts Artier, allaa Bliza Anthony Manley, 29, a rather good-lookieg 11U01111, was indicted for feloniously intermar tying with Thomas Archer, her husband, Herbert Anthony Manley, being alive. Mr. f3ernant Parry was specially retained, with Mr. Tindal Atkisson and Mr. Hoodoo, to conduct the presses thin ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Sleigh. The circumstances coneeeted with this charge have been so very frequently before the public that it is unneceriary to do more than briefly allude to them. The prosecutor, Mr. Archer was a young man possessed of oonsiderablis property, aid be paled up the prisooer, who was •• woman of loose character, and married her. They lived together for some time in • most extravagant style, thelpriaoner con dilating herself in • manner such as might have been rs purted from a pence of her original position, and in couse queues of a tranactioo that took place between her and an minibus conductor, it will be remembered that the latter brought an action against Mr. Archer to recover possession of a diamond ring, when some extraordinary dis closures were made relative to the pr4*te proceedings of the prisoner. Mr. Archer subse quently instituted proce,ilimp, with • view to obtain • divorce, and in th e course of them be discovered that the prisoner had another husband living, and, hearing that he was at the gold diggings in Australia, steps were taken to bring him to this country. It was clearly made Out that the prisoner was married in the year 111112, at St. Pancras Church, to • person named Herbert Anthony Manle and he was sow produced in court, and his sister proved t hat he was the same person who was so married. Mr. Thomas Archer was celled to prove the second mar. rage, and be stated that he became acquainted with the prisoner in March, 1987. He met her one night in the Haymarket in that month, and on the 24th of June follow ing they were married at St. Penerra (7bun-h. They writ to be married from a house in Norton - street . When be came of age be was entitled to 13,0001. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—When he Gra asked the prisoner to marry him she said she would consider of it. A laugh.) Serie:ant Parry—That is what all young ladles my, I believe. (Laughter.) Cross-examination continued—He would not swear that when he first saked the primmer to him she did not positively refuse, and that be implored to many him for several weeks before she consented to do so. He did not remember anything of the sort, but his memory upon such matters was very bad. (Laughter.) He might have asked the primmer whether she thought she could be happy with him. (A laugh.) The prisoner did tell him that she had been married before, but she also saki that she be. hovel her husband was dead. They were married by license, and • person named Richards west with him to Dotore-commons to get the license and when the name of the holy was asked for Richards called out "Ehra Anthony, spinster." (Laughter.) Witness did not my auything when this was stated. When they got home the prisoner " blowed up " /Hebei da fur saying that her name was Anthony. (laughter.) He might have hail • peen deal of difficulty to get the prisoner to marry him, but he meld not remember earthing abet it.

THE LOW OF THE CONHAUGHT MYNAHS& The following letter, acknowledging the receipt of Mr. Tralli's report relative to the loss of this vessel, has been reostved from the office of the Board of Trade : Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Marine Department, Whitehall, Dec. 17. Bra,—l am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade to acknowledge the receipt of the report of investigation and minutes of evidence in the matter of the inquiry held by you, with theassistance of Capt. Harris, touching the Ices of the steam-ship Connaught, and I am to convey to you their lordships' thanks for your labo rious and valuable report. With regard to the suggestions in your report : 1. That steamship should be inspected by government surveyors whilst building ; 2. That captains of merchant steamers should be exa mined in steam ; 3. That engineers should be examined and have certifi cates of competency, I am directed to offer the following observations : 1. My lords are of opinion that it would be inexpedient to establish any supervision by government officers of steamers during their construction, as such a course would tend to remove responsibility from the builders and the owners. The special survey of mail steamers under con tracts with the government is not, ss you are probably aware, now in the hands of the Board of Trade. 2. As regards the examination of masters and metes i• matters connected with the steam engine, lam to point out that such examination could not be made compulsory with. out the interference of the legislature. But a system of voluntary examination in steam has been for some time is operation. These examinations are conducted under the superb tetelence of the various local marine boards, and any master, or any first mate or only mate, is at liberty to present him self for examination as to his practical koowledge of the use and working of the steam engine. If any master or mate holding a Board of Trade certificate passes this exa mination, the words "passed ie steam" are endorsed on his certificate. The value of this endorsement would be greatly enhanced if steam shipowners were to require their officers to pass in steam. 3. The question whether engineers should be compelled to pass an examination, and to obtain certificates from the Board of Tr►de, is very important. But it is a question for the legislature, and my Lords are not in a positron to offer any opinion upon it.—l am, Sze., J. H. Faaaua. James Train, Fee., Polies Court, Greenwich.

In liner counts no change. There are Calcutta telegrams to Nov. 24, but they report no im provement. Thu improvement in our market is chiefly duo to the news of a peace having been concluded with China, and it is not so much the result of business for that quarter of the world as from orders for all quarters being thrown on the market which had boon kept back iu order to buy at the utmost depression. The downward temicify of cloths for China has been also stopped, and prices may be considered lid. per piece higher, with a moderate demand. There is no change in long cloths, T cloths, and domestics, though the China news has infused • better firebug gene rally.
