There is a certainty for Curlew on the Cup day, in the Second Biennial ; and on Thursday Big Ben's 61b allowance should secure him the Third, whatever Mr. Merry may bring out to oppose him of his trio. The Dee &skies, for three year-oW about one mile and a quarter, will attract • poor field, there being a fear that Upperhand will not travel from filiddleham, when Sir William and Man-at- Arms should have it all to themselves, Brother to Rainbow having run about too much within the last few days for even the Newmarket home to be in danger. The results of Tuesday will afford the best guide to follow for the Marquis of Westminster's Plate, and the Chesterfield may settle what can overthrow the top weight, Master Begot, 6 gat 716 ; while by Friday morning the Stewards' Cup and Stakes winners should present themselves to the notice of your readers from the Chester Cup running. The Welter Cup, one mile and • quarter, appears already Mooed to • match between the gelding by Vatican and Cheery Chap ; and it u not probable that anything will turn up to alarm the friends of Big Ben for the Wirral or Gaspard for the Eaton Stakes.— I sun, tic., • METEOR. TO TEE IDITOR OP TIM EXPRESS. SDP,—It cannot be denied that a duller "Two Thous col week" hss not been experienced by the patrons of Newmarket for many a year, there be' w but four of the tiorty-eight actual contests that took O ace worthy of i being ionimented upon ; at any rate, future peat events ; wee not in the least interfered with by them, for plating was the order of the day. The week was, nevertheless, prolific 1 of eurprises, few of the favourites pulling through, and in five ~..es out of nine wherein " copious oldie " were laid the taiente had to be content with paying. The meeting was, se usual, well attendel by the turf 's aristocratic patrons, uninviting as the weather was on Sunday and Monday, and they are so thoroughly taken op with Newmarket that we need sot wonder there is no attempt to improve the for I verily believe the heath would be just u I programme by all but the public—about whom the officials do not care • jot —were there but two or three I contests between platers on e a c h o f th e "off " duo The gentlemen were dreadfully out of tune on Monday, for, 1 alter laying 7 to 1 on the half-miler, Lady Kingston, against a drentradant of Woodpigeon over three nids and a half, they so comyletel r lost sight of the Sour filly's formeml behind Thunderbolt for the 50f. Plate bit Second r Meeting, in a large field, as to lay 3 and 4 to 1 in Parmesan agoing her, and suffered an easy defeat on both ocoutions. The "pots" were settled for both the Two Thousand and Derby when Bivouac cut up so badly in the 50 env, Sweepstakes, and the performance of the King of Doitionols therein did not improve his position in the market, for Wells had to rouse him to beat Tunic half • length, still there was every excuse for him in the pace having been so lad. The talents were doomed to defeat on Tuesday, se Petruchio broke down in the nice for the Coffee-room Stable, and not one of the "pots" showel in front for the Two Thousand, Traducer being the only one that did them any credit, and he was not within 101 b of the Wizard. Althouo the pace was anything but first-rate, everything was beaten at the balance except Traducer, the Rap, and the Wiarad; but when Ashman let the latter out the others appeared lite rally to stand still, and the Two Thousand was never before won with such ridiculous ease. So much has been said and wntten concerning the extraordinary performances of the Whitewall horses that little is left for me to relate, and I eau only join in the chorus to express my moron,* at the unlooked-for result, there having been no "gammon" whatever in the trial of Tom Bowline, ('.qv Flyaway, and the Wizard, which took place in the presence of the owners of the three horses mentioned, when , the Wizen' was beaten off. Thum the turf's glorious un- certainty" was never more truly exemplified, for Tom Bowline has proved in public no better than he was last year ; and the safest guide that can be followed—relt , running —has rendered the chance of the dozen g animals that finished behind the Wizard and the Rap, very forlorn. The latter ran untried and not half prepared, so that we may take it for granted he is • first-class horse, and if " Mr. Tate" has one much his superior in the Drone, I shall not despair of the latter some dawn proving himself the best three-year-old at Melton. Weatherbound further showed her brilliant qualities by defeating Beutinck for the Rowley Mile Plate on Wednes day ; nral yet the proceedings regarding her fur the Chester Cup were of so mysterious a character that your reader. must not be astonished if she stay. at home. Actaeon turned rogue, sad allowed both Emily and North Lincoln to beat him over short distances, but I suspect we shall find something more than moderate in Lord Stamford's filly this season, and she is by no means the worst of the 158 nominated for the Oaks, There was • beautiful race for the One •Thousand Guirursil between the four Abbiroft having to exercise peat prudence to get = home without touching her, a feat he just managed to ac complish, while Aurora and the Venus filly ran up to the form they displayed iu the New Stakes at Ascot last year. ' Contarlioa, on the contrary, ;anted to have trained off, while Viola was not fit enough for a correct opinion to be formed as to howshe hoe wintered. The 51b penalty was too mob for iiValloon over the severe finish of the It. M., and Big Ben, who hail been quietly hiding his time since he ran such • good second to Lady Clifden at Northampton, won Isis owner a nice little stake, performing in such a manner as to do Ethelbert great credit as a stallion. It is asserted that Lifeboat will not he able to perform again for some time, having met with a severe accident at home, which prevootel his running for the Whip aping Prioress and Special License, the former, who was anything but fit to run four miles, never having a chance with )fr. Merry's horse, who maintained his title still t o hold th e Whip in pliant style. We mixed • treat in the Wizard declining to meet Yrovatore far the 100 sou. Sweepstakes, the Mahon crack paying 50 sou. forfeit in preference to giving Mr. Merry • line for Thornanby. On Friday the King of Diamonds made • Letter show with Tuccio, forcing the pace sufficiently strong to suit himself; but he could not approach :sc. Albans for the Newmarket Stakes, neither could anything else, the Metropolitan winner hav ing cut down the King, Brother to Rainbow, Nicholas, AIM others, with such consummate ease, that I cannot help believing he would have been a good second, if not Ono, for the Two Thourod, had be been engaged, and there is good sound sense in including him among the I l o b a te "cracks" for the Derby, although Sagitta beat him so cleverly for the Cohere, as the improvement in his form Outing the last fortnight is extraordinary. The Chester Cup is looked • matter of health only for him, and I must confess that if there is such • thing as a certainty on the Rhoeslee. he has every appearance of one. He would not be the first Newmarket Stake* winner either that has carried otos , the Blue Bibelot the only objection to has oismolutely doing that trick being the use beino male of hal just now, four races within twenty days in April being a little too much fur a Derby wiener. Mr. Topham's, Chester programme decidedly requires re vision, handicaps having too great en alvsfitage over weight. for age and 3-er-old emcee, anol the meeting may be icooss.derol extrenielv fortunate if the handioip tells are even re-potable, the liberality bestowed upon them being of little use unless one spoiling the other is prevented, and the is always mores matter of chance than judgment. Things will go on smoothly en o ugh on Tuesday, although Traducer's forward position for the Two Thousa . nol hoe, in • meuere, wooded the three-quarters of a mile Wynnetay Harnhosp, lie having no much the best of the 3-yr-olds ; next to him Volcano, 4 yrs, 7st 21b, looks tempt ing , and the ancients come next. New Brighton, fist 21b, and Man Friday, 7st 121 b, being so well tended that one of them may run " Mr. Locke's" colours into a forward position, although both woubl prefer the course • quarter of a mile left. The Chesterfield Handicap, for 3-yr-qile, about a mile and a furling, exhibits Golden Pippin, Malls, in • favourable light, and Maid of Orleans, 7st, ought to possess a chance, looking at the forward position she maintained for more than • rude sad a half in the Metropolitan ; should Horace, however, travel to Chrater, he will have no- preference over the pair, while carrying lout fist 1216. The fillies are put-ally fortunate in the Palatine Stakes. for 3-yr-olds, about one mile and a ornerier, and there is nothing against Chsteecoke or Butterfly keeping up the charter, except th e d ame of both being reserved for the ladies' race at Epsom. The Meaty} -TI Stales, for 2-yrolde, will brio; out few to gallop with Big Ben over the threellkartere of a mile, KEW GARDENS. —The director of these favourite despite his Mb penalty, there being a difficulty in selecting National Gardens has just made his annual report to the a second best, for as neither Folkestone nor King of Kent Chief Commissioner of her Majesty's Office of Works', on °moo ol him at Newmarket, they m a y no t travel to their condition and prospects .

EQUITY COURTS.—Aran. 28. (Before the Lord Chancellor and the Lonls Justices.) THE EARL OF TTIONI T. THE NAHQUIB OF WATERFORD. This was • special case brought for the opinion of the court upon the construction of the will of the late Marquis of Waterford. The will, which was in the handwriting of the testator, and was dated in August, 1852, TAM as follows: "I, Henry Marquis of Waterfall, make the following will : I leave Ford Castle and all land and property belonging to me in the county of Northumberland to my wife, Louisa Ann Marchioness of Waterford, for her life, and I desire that her jointure shall be paid out of my said property in the county of Northumberbind. I desire that my debts, or the interest upon them, shall be paid from the income of my Irish property. I leave to my sister Hush, Countess Talbot, 1,000 a year for her lite, to be paid out of the in. come of my Irish property. if my wife have a child by me, 'leave to the mad ehid all my property of every kind, except my wife's life interest in my jiroperty in thecountyd North umberland, and except the Countess Talbirt's life interest of I,OOW. • year in my Irish property. In we my wife have no child by me, I leave_ my Irish property, subject to all charges upon it, to my brotr, Lord John Beresford, and to his children in succession ; and in case my wife have no children by me, at her death I leave all my English pro perty to my brother, Lord John Bereidord, and his children in succession. I leave my wife all my plate, jewels, and money which may stand to my credit at Messrs. Coutts's on the day of my death." The testator died in March last year without leavin issue, and his brother, Lord John year without leaving issue, and his brother, Lord John Bereiford, succeeded to the title. liwpresent marquis has four children, all under age, of whom the . plaintiff is the eldest. The questiods pat by the special case for the opinion of the court are :-1. Wh a t interest have the present marquis and his children bec o m e entitled to in the freeholds and chattels real of the late marquis under the words "to my brother. Lord _John Beredord, and his children in succession ?" 2. tether any, and what portion of the personal estate of the testator (other than the chattels real, and his plate, jewels, &c.), panned by bin will, and to whom and for what intercede? Mr. It'. Palmer and Mr. Erskine, for the - plaintiff, con tended that the present marquis took an estate for life in all the property, with remainder to his children successively in tail. r. Lloyd and Mr. H. R. Ferrer, on behalf of the three younger children, *masted that the will either conferred upon the marquis aW his children successive life estates, with an intestacy as to the inheritance, or made them joint tenants in fee. Mr. Selwyn and Mr. Vaughan Hawkins, for the dowager marchioness, argued for an mtestacy as to the personalty. The Attorney-General and Mr. Hobhouse, for the mar quis, contended for an estate tail in their client. _ a The case was heard some little time since, and judgment "tTa ned. • Lordships now delivered judgment, and after corn. meeting on the great danger which the testator ran in making his own will, expressed their opinion that., in this case, they would be able to carry out his evident intentio which were that his brother, the present marquis, should hold the real property as tenant in tail, and so it should devolve on his children after him. With respect to the personalty, there was clearly no intestacy, except as regarded the English property, during the lifetime of the dowager marchioness ; but the marquis was entitled to the personal estate absolutely and immediately, and to the personal estate in England absolutely after the death of the wife of the testator. (Before Vioe-Chanoellor Sir W. P. Wood.) cull r. THE QUILEN'tI COLLEGE, BIRMINGHAM. This was a motion, ex parte, for an injunction to restrain the defendants from closing the medical department of their college during the ensuing term, and from preventing the attendance of medical students thereat. The plaintiff was the surgeon to the college, and it appeared that a short while since a resolution was come to for closing the medical portion of that institution. This the plaintiff insisted was contrary to the by-laws of the college, and calculated to do him irreparable injury. He therefore filed his bill, and made the present motion. Si, H. Cairns and Mr. Freeling appeared for the plaintiff. The Vice-Chancellor granted the injunction until next seal, the plaintiff undertaking, in the usual way, to be answerable for damage. COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES. -Amu 28. (Before the Judge Ordinary, Mr. Justice Willem, and Mr. Justice RM.) STONI r. WONT. This was a petition by a wife for a divorce or a Judicial separation, on the ground of cruelty and adultery. The latter charge not being pressed, the case resolved itself into a suit for a separation on the round of cruelty alone. Dr. Spudis and Mr. flutings apposred for the petitioner, and Mr. C. Foster for the respondent. The respondent, a clerk in the India house, married the petitioner on the 15th of November, 1F15:1. There was one child, born in August, liks7. The petitioner, in her evi dence, Mid that the unhappiness of the union dated from a visit of her husband's sister. The acts complained of were that he hail beaten her, kicked her, pulled her hair, bit her nu the mouth so as to make it bl ed, and violently pulled her nose, threatening at the same time to wring it off. He had moreover threatened to shoot and stab her. The qoarrels which took place anise, according to the peti tioner's accouut, nut of money matters ; the respondent having been arrested once or twice a quarter ever since the marriage. On mum-examination the petitioner admitted that she was apt to go into passions when she was excited by ill.treatment ; but she had always endeavoured to do her duty as a wife, and had never been violent unless she hail fled. been assaulted. Had been in the constant habit of arranging her husband's affairs for him and getting him out of prison. The quarrels had not been occasioned by her extravagance or by her flirting with men. Hail cer tainly never told her husband in a taunting manner that her child was none of his. Respondeut's salary WWI 3001. or 4001. a year ; but on the change of the India government, he elected to take his pension, which was 2081. per annum. Witness had spent 111. on her baby linen. Her hus band had given her the money for that purpose. Had bought =aerials with it, and usule up the things herself. On one occasion, when Mr. Graves and Dino. Dayley were pre sent, the respondent called witness's mother a foul name. It was signet deal worse than "a silly old fool." Witness was very much exasperated by it. On one eciusiou, when the respondent had strocit her, witness took up • dumb bell and threatened to throw it at him if be touched her again. The servant called in the police, but ultimately the respondent signed the following paper :—" 9, 17, 'NC— I hereby pro mise not to touch either my mother-in-law or my wife a second time, F. Stone." The petitioner was largely cor robomteil by Mrs. Westbrook, with whom the parties had lodged in Adam.street, Adelphi. Witness's husband had dismissed the respondent from his house on account of his cruelty to his wife. The petitioner's mother and a servant were also examined in support of her case. Mr. Foster having addressed the court for the defence, The respondent was put in the box, and lie made a long rambling statement, in the course of which lie altogether denied, with a single exception, the acts of cruelty imputed to him. He admitted that on one occasion lie had boxed I his wife's ears, and he professed himself exceedingly sorry for it. Had sometimes held her hands to prevent her, in t l e a e i n n is E l n ie g n li pet'lt f e r d "n l i m "pitai band.l'e i rtio " ne hm. Had, in fact, r was a ga . l hearted I woman, but a great shrew. Hail tried to make her h •ppy, and would have been more indulgent, only witness had always been "devilishly hard up." Might sa y ho had been "in the valley of the shadow of debt" ever since his mar . riage. (Laughter.) • The court granted the separation. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—Aran. 28. (Before Mr. Commiesioner Murphy.) TN RE GEOHGE NT. LEur.it 0. GRENFEr.t.. Thin insolvent, a lieidenant.colonel in the Buenos Arran service, was opposed by Mr. Dowse, with whom was Mr. Bicker Caarten, on the part of Messrs. Higgins, merchants, Creat St. Helen's. Mr. Bargood supported. In 1050 the insolvent entered into an agreement with Messrs. Higgins to pruned to Buenos Ayres to purchase horses for sale to the India government. He received large sums which he expended, and homes were shipped to Cal elate. Mine were sold at Markus, and ou the part of the Insolvent it was alleged that he had accounted for the money he had received. On the part of the opposing creditor@ it was alleged that he owed them 6.0110 f., and iu September they found him in London and arrested him on a capita. Ile hail remained in prison, and they bad not gone on with the action, he stating that by his acreenient any dis pute was to be referred to arbitration, which he said he was anxious to abide by. About September the insolvent came to London to raise some money on bills he hail received, soil went to Marseilles to raise an army for the Buenos Armen government, to meet the war with Monte Video. He alleged that he paid GOO/. as a deposit on 100 men, but his arrest prevented him going on, and he had lost 7,0001. in consequence. He alleged that he had paid 521/. as fees to officials at Hoene& Ayres to get the prohibition taken off apsinst the exportation of hones from that Ois.n. The insolvent was asked to whom he paid the 600(. to raise 500 men at Marseilles, and he declined to answer the question, saying he should render the parties liable to a long imprisonment and penalties. The Swiss army was at that time disbanded, and he had paid a deposit to rain 500 men. I 11r. Dowse submitted that the insolvent was bound to answer the question. It was important to know what hiel become of the money. Mr. Commi.sioner Murphy said he would reserve the decision on the question. Prime facie, the insolvent had aocouoted for all the money but 401. Mr. Dowse complained that his accounts were not vouched. It appeared that the insolvent had not waited on Mews. Higgins when he qame to London. He said he came expressly to do so, but having to raise the army he went to Prance, and his arrest led to a failure of his undertaking. He bad been seven months in prison. When arrested he had 1,500. in his possession, which had since been spent. A long discussion took place on the case. Mr. Commissioner Murphy adjourned the e. a*a for • week, and thought the beet course would be to discharge the insolvent, he undertaking not to plead his insolvency, and the action should go on and be referred to arhitnttiou, to ascertain to whom any balance was due. It was a joint adventure to purchase horses for the government, and re quired investigation. The case was adjourned for a week, and the insolvent returned to prison TO THE EDITOR OF THE nramts.

COTTON GOODS.—MANCHearER, Aran. 28. —The market closes with a decidedly more cheerful and animated character than it has worn for some weeks past. A rather heavy business has been done during the week in light makes of 40-inch shirting. up to 711 s. weight at full prices. Light makes of narrow T cloths have also oommanded more attention for the India markets, and sales have been made at steady rates. The narrower makes of printing cloths are well engaged, and the irregularity in prices of wider makes has led to offers at rather easier terms, which have resulted in sales of such extent as to con siderably relieve stocks where there bad begun to be an accumulation. For 3G-inch shirting* there has been some business, but without any change in prices. In long-cloths there has not been much doing. Alto gether there has been business enough effected in cloths to strengthen the hands of sellers very perceptibly. In yarns the business has not been inconsiderable, and the improved rates obtained on Tuesday have been fully sustained. A good business has been done for India and China, and the buyers for Germany and the home trade have operated more freely. In twist cope and weft, which have been for some time rather depressed, the market is decidedly firmer, and there has been a more animated ilsquiry for most dm aeriptione of yarns up to Ws. Doubled yarns are also in greater request. 'WOOLLEN. —Lerma, APIUL 28.—We have had a better market this morning. It was well attended by merchants as well as manufacturers, and rather more activity was ge nerally observable. The business also showed an improve ment. Ordinary cloths and summer fabrics were in better demand, and some fair sales took place in them. PIARDWARE —BIRMINGHAM, Apau, 28. —The trade of this town is still marked by some indications of dulness ; but has been improved considerably in the course of the week, the factors ' orders having been larger, and the home trade generalliiresenting more symptoms of life. From the North of land the orders have been increasing for all descriptions ironmongery goods such as are in general use ; and the manufactories are on tolerably full time, not withstanding the prevalent reports that trade is slack. The number of artisans out of employment is snuill ; this coupled with the fact that manufacturers are not making goods for stock, shows that the complaints as to the depression in trade are very much exaggerated. The Board of Trade Commissioners were here yesterday—they had an interview with the Council of the ChamberchCommerce, and were fur nished with such information on matters of detail arising out of the French treaty, as may enable them more forcibly to pries on the French government the desirability of granting ad inform duties where specific duty stipula tions are next to an impossibility.

NWATAISTLR, APRIL 24.—At our market this morning we lull a less show of wheat from the growers, and such descriptions, on account of their freshness, being much wanted for mixing, a clearance was early effe cted at rather over the rates of this day sennight ; whilst in the com parative absence of choice new South Country, old met attention at Is. to 2s. below the selling value of new.

WATERFORD, APRIL 2A—We have hail scarcely a sample of fa mer's grain at market this week, and by boat the sup• plies consist almost exclusively of oats. Inn abroad our arrivals are limited to two cargoes of Indian corn ; coast wise only a few hundred quarters of wheat have come to hand. The firmness noted in the trade on this day se'nnight has been well maintained, and for Indian corn higher priors have been realised. Wheat—the transactions in Irish have been very trifling, hut a fair quantity of foreign has found buyers at last week's quotations. Barley in good request, and difficult to purchase at former rates. A moderate Istisi ness has resulted in oats, and much more would have taken place but for the extreme firmness of holders. Indian corn has attracted a good deal of attention, and buyers have had to pay a further advance of rid. to 9d. per barrel. Sonic large sales have been made for the West of Ireland the last few days. Flour, fid. to Is. per sack dearer. Imports this week :--Wheat, 474 qm • Indian corn, 6,044 ; flour, too sacks. Exports this we ek :—Oats, 4,935 barrels ; flour, 212 sacks ; Indian corn, 400 barrels.
