Mr. M. Smith , q.c.. and Mr. . Coleridge for the Jet From the opening statement of Mr. Bevil it would appear V. it tile action, and six others, which were pending, had tla it origin iu disputes which arose in the pariah of Euti.l.l, 'dative to the mode in which the services were p dunned iu the (lay Hill Chapel, situated within th, iamb, it being alleged on behalf of the ilsiutid that the service* in the chapel involved ui cutare departure from the usual observances of the ,Iturzli 14 Euglaid, and to approach much nearer to that of the church of Rome. It may be remembered that the case tame ',elev. the Court of Queen's Bench in the course of last term, on demurrer to the defeudant's plea, when a vary inter. , die; question was raii.‘ , 4l all to the rights of the general pub -1;‘• with reference to what are known as proprietary chapels. epee that occasion the judgment of the court was in favour f the Rev. Mr. Ilottb, their lordships bold* ,Innainiously that the public have no right of entry into pelt ate chapel, and therefore that the plaintiff, it be Per spud iu reenamme in Clay Hill Chapel sfter having been requested to I..ave, was • tremmeer. The chapel of Cl*y Hill wee erected by means of subscriptions in the parish sod the contribution of the vicar. Of the total amount mind i'ipt. Bosanquet and his fele ads subscribed no lem thao 6401. the plaintiff himself contributing 1001. On the other hand the %nue* personal contrittutiou towards purchasing the site sad the erection and ornamentation of the chapel was ever I,ooof. The chapel having been opened, the mode cotelticting the service was represented as being entiotutly ruseyieticaL Thereupon rensoustranose were unroll upon the vicar by some of the parishiouera, but without effect. The Bishop of London was then memorialised, and all the obnoxious practices were regularly detailed in the memorial. In answer COM robriaters were appointed to in , lnire into the complaints of the memorialists ; but before they had tame to make their repert. it Iteieg well untlendood, as stated by the o.llllt dr. ...mewl, what the listens of the report must be, Mr. Heath closed the chapel, and so prevented the bishop hum entering tb• serviced to be performed in a manner cm noahle to the usual obeereareee of the church of England. That ...curried early in the mouth of June, end a few dies after out came the report of the commissioners. The oishop thereupon issued direction. as to what should lie doe sad a copy of his jii.Loneot was forwarded both to the tlefesluit mad to l'aptein efosanquet.

Still, iosiating on his right, same nenp•nution oli;lit to he made to those ~entlesties. Mr. Beath. tj.C., suggested that the entire matter, in. elnlin 'f • the question as to how the services should be per !. rried in f stare, shout t be left to some retired judge to determine. Mr. M. Health could not agree to that. Perhaps his learned friend would not he quite reedy to dement to the latter part of bis proposal being referred to the Bishop et 'Wad. Mr. Heath had no objection, however, to re limes to sane gentle m en at the bar the question of the 'W lot of eenpenrition to be paid to those enhaeribers abe objected to the manner in which the Per sica were performed. At the same time as the term Lob/tip Noel twee used in reference to those gentlemen slo ~pry.-e,l to Mr. Hearth, it should be remembered that Mr. Heath bad subacribed more tbau half of the whole fud. whilst others had contributed to it as well besides C sue Boampret and hi. friends.

It appears that on the evening in question Mr. Horton heard an unusual noise proceeding from a water slide chandelier in the front parlour. Thinking that the gas wanted water, he proceeded into the MOM with • light, and amended a stepladder for the purpose of exa mining the slide. Immediately afterwards a quantity of gas, which had waned from the chandelier, exploded with a loud noise, and literally shook the foundation of the build ing. The door of the room, with the stone work over the window, was blown to pieces, and the brickwork much in jured. The concussion affected a warebousa at the rear of the promises, and shook one of the outer walls completely down. The roof of the warehouse fell in with a crash. The damage done to the bedrooms was not so severe. but the walls were so much shakos and displaced that it is feared they will hays to be rebuilt. Assistaace wan procurer', and Mr. Ha onoll was extricated as quickly as possible. He was then fouled to be very severely burnt on the hands and fate, and was removed to the General Hospital.

The funds exhibit no recovery to-day, being quoted at the reduced prices which were current yesterday. On the whole, however, the market is rather steadier in character. The attention of the members of the Stock Exchange has been almost ex clusivelydirected to preparations for the fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks, this being " making up day." Zr. the share markets prices generally are firm, at yesterday's quotations. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 88fr. 90c. ex div., showing no change since yesterday. Consols are officially marked 936, for money, and 92, 3 , and 4, ex div., for the account. The present quotation is92i," sellers," ex div., for the 10th Jan. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cents. Reduced, 924, ; New Three per Cents., 92i, ; India Four per Cent. Debentures, 1868, 914 ; ditto, 1869, 984 ; ditto Bonds, 10s., 9e. dis. ; Five-and-a-Half per Cent. " enfaced " Rupee paper, 1014 ; Exchequer Bills, 5a., 2s. dis. The Turkish loan of 1858 has again fallen 4 per cent., and that of 1854, 4 per cant. ; the present quo tations are, respectively 574 to 58, and 714 to 724. Yesterday's recovery in Mexican Bonds is fairly supported. Sales are recorded as follows : Mexican Three per Cents., 214, 4, 4 ; Pe ruvian Uribarren Four-and-a-Ralf per Cents., 834 ; Russian Five per Conte., 108 ; Turkish Si: per Ceuta., 1864, 724 ; ditto Six per Cents., 1868, 574. The City of Manchester, which sailed from Liver pool to-day for New York, has taken only 7,8311. in specie. TEN MlNrr pAsr 2 o'Cooca. Consols have improved to 92i ex div., for the 10th January. Fork o'Crock. Console remain firm, at 92R to I, ex die., for the amount. As was anticipated, a portion of the gold recently received from Australia goes into the Bank. The sum taken them yesterday was 53,000/., which had been refined. Of the 230,0001. by the Anglesea, the greater portion has been sold for the Continent, and the rest taken to be refined. On the other hand, 25,000 sovereigns were withdrawn yesterday from the Bank of England for transmission to New York by the Fulton, which will leave Southampton to-day. The City of Manchester, which will sail from Liverpool to-day, may take some addi tional amount. The sum shipped by the Jura, which left Liverpool yesterday, was only 2,9001. There is an impression that the flow of specie to New York will not resume large proportions, unless in the unlikely event of the accounts from that city reporting a renewal of agitation. The Roxburgh Castle, with 187,0001. in gold, sailed from Melbourne on the 9th of October, and the Great Britain, with 474,0001., on the 18th of October, making a total of 841,0001. The former ham now been out 83 days, and the latter 54 days. These are the only gold vessels known to be at sea. The telegrams received yesterday quote the FAstern exehanges, as follows, viz .• At Shanghai, Os. &l. ; at Hong Kong, 4a. Bd. ; and at Calcutta , 2s. lkil. A decidedly adverse movement is shown, amounting to 3 per cent. at Shanghai, and 2 per cent. at Calcutta. These advisee may give an un pulse to the efflux of silver to the Rant. There was little alteration yesterday afternoon in the foreign exchanges, but the tendency was not ♦ery favourable. The Austrian exchange has declined.

The time for receiving tenders for the Guaran teed Jamaica Loan has been extended from Thurs day, the 20th, until 2 o'clock on Friday, the 21st instant. A meeting was held yesterday of the creditors of Mr. Moron, the contractor, whose suspension was announced a few days ago. The result of the state ments made was even unexpectedly favourable ; and it would appear that the amount of the lia bilities has been greatly exaggerated by rumour. The balance-sheet submitted estimated the assets at 70,3001. and the liabilities' at 34,5001., showing an apparent surplus of about 35,0001. It was unanimously agreed by the creditors present that the contracts should be carried on under inspec tion, and that bankruptcy proceedings shall, if possible, be avoided, it being hoped that, by the adoption of this course, every creditor will ulti mately receive 20s. in the pound. To permit the lapsing of the contracts in hand would be very disastrous to the estate. Mtwara. N. Nomico and Co., Greek merchants, of Manchester, who enspendel on Saturday, hews resumed payment. The absence (4 intelligence, since to handrespecting remittances from Constan tinople, is at have been the cause of their temporary suspension. A special meeting of the London and North Western Railway Company is called for the 27th instant, "for the purpose of creating 300,0001. stock of the company and authorising the issue of the same , or so much thereof as may be required, in exchange for stock or shares now held by the shareholders of the Warrington and Stockport Rail way Company, in the proportion of 91. se.

This was an action to recover damages for injuries re ceived * the plaintiff through the negligence of the de fendant.' servants. The defendants admitted the negli gence, raising the question of the amount of compensation to which the plaintiff was entitled. Mr. Power and Mr. Quoin were counsel for the OaMtiff Mr.liawkine and Mr.O. Pollock represented the ddendante. rThe plaintiff in this action is a flour factor at Manchester, and is 38 years of ege. On the 30th of May tut he took s Arst.clasi ticket on the defendants' line, from Liv erp ool to London. When the train had arrived near Kinfs-crose the guard, who was intoxieated, and had fallen asleep, did not put on the break, and the train went right through the station into the street, where its further progress wee im peded by the earthwork used in construction of the Metro , politan Railway. The plaintiff was thrown on the opposite seat and floor of the earriage, sustaining injuries on his head and spine. He could not transact his business, and returned to Liverpool by the London and North Western Railway, although the defendants had extended his return ticket that he might go back by their line. On his return the medical man who was called in discovered he had sustained severe injuries. The plaintiff suffered from great numbness in his extremities, and his eyesight was so much affected that he could not distinguish the colour of the flour. His memory was impaired, and his nervous system completely shattered. The plaintiff had been examined by emend medical men on behalf of the company—one of whom, Dr. Harrison, gave him a sum of money in full of all demands spinet the company, the plaintiff, when he signed it, *lnv ing that the injuries were only of a temporary nature. The plaintiff had been in the American flour trade, and previous to 18511 be estimated his profits at 6001. a year. In consequence of depression in trade he had to compound with hie creditors, and commence business again on hie own account, in 18.59, with borrowed capital. In consequence of the pleadings the only question for the jury was the amount of compensation to which the plaintiff was entitled for the injuries be had received.

MINTZ& Dr. Spinks and Mr. Biron appeared for the petitioner; the respondent appeared in person. The petitioner, Mn. Minter, formerly Miss Kt= married to the respondent in March, 1854. They in St. Pancras, when the respondent, Edwin Minter, kept an upholsterer's shop. According to Mrs. Minter's state meat her husband began to treat her unkindly immediately after her marriage. He frequently swore at her, slapped her and pinched her. There were several other acts of violence detailed by Mrs. Minter, of too revolting a chancter to publish, but from which, as appeared from the evidence of the medical man wbo attended her, she bad suffered ex treme injury. Her evidence was fully borne out by that of other witnesses. In March, 1855, within a twelvemonth of the matruge, the defendant told her that be kept a mistress, that he intended to bring her home to his house, and that if his wife did not choose to live with her, she had better return to her parents. On the follow ing day she did return to her parents, and had not sines lived with respondent. It was proved that alter her depar ture be was guilty of adultery. The respondent swore that he had never assaulted his wife in his life, and that the petitiooeis witnesses had de posed falsely. The jury, without waiting for a reply or a ramming up, found all the issues in favour of the petitioner. His lordship pentads decree of dissolution. MATZ C. STOAT/ In this case the respondent had obtained a judicial asps ration on the grounds of cruelty and desertion ' • and the petitioner, who was said to be a barrister, now praved for • dissolution of the marriage . on the ground of wife's adultery. The respondent , In her plea, denied the charge, and alleged connivance, adultery, cruelty, and desertion, spinet her husband. The marriage took place in 1852, and the cohabitation appeared to have lasted two or three years, at Ihunagate and Bath. In 1815 Mn. Stoats went to live at a Mrs. Sargin sou's, at Bristol, under her maiden name of Haynes. A numberof witnesses were called to show that the respondent had been leading a drunken and dissolute life. On the other side evidence of cruelty and desertion was given, the other recriminatory pleas being abandoued. Dr. Swahy appeared fur the resposdent. The petitioner conducted his cue in parson, and was frequently reproved by the court, the learned ju dge remarking that be could hardly believe that • person could really be of the law who inanifested such gross ignorance, and comported him self so offensively. The jury found the issues in favour of the petitioner, and Sir C. Cromwell sold be would consider whether, under the eiresautenae, he would decree a dissolution. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Dac. 11. Font.lanque.) LT as JOSEPH CIALIII.—TER 1/JIATLINS cc THZ LEATH= (Before Kr. TILLDE.-CRAILGEfI or rsAuD. The bankrupt wee a leather factor, of Kidderminster and Bewdley. This failure followed close upon that of Strtatfeild and Co., when Clarke petitioned the court at Bir mingham under the arrangement clauses, and was lam, wards made bankrupt. The proceedings were subsequently transferred to this court. This was the examination meeting. No accounts had been filed, but it it stated that the bankrupt's liabilities amount to 66,0001., while the assets will be something bir tween 10,0001. and 20,000/. Mr. blorray, for the easignees, required to know why the accounts had not been bled. The bankrupt, in examination, said he did not know why the accounts had not been died. He had taken a great deal of trouble to get them ready. The accountant, Mr. Chandler, would explain. Had stopped payment on the 6th of June, and was made bankrupt on the 17th of August. Had paid money to several persons since the 30th of June, but had accounted for it all. Had closed his account with his bankers (the Worcester City land County Bank) on the 2nd of July, or it might be 1 the 3rd. Took an account of his stock after he had stopped, assisted by Mr. Moore. Another account was taken under the authority of the Birmingham Court. Two ' men were put In possession by the messenger. One was always there until the inventory was taken. He knew of no property afterwards ggooiinn g out of his warehouses or store rooms. He was particularly careful as to that. There was also some one in possession till the Birmingham messenger was removed by the one from that court The inventory produced was taken by Mr. Court. It was in his handwriting. Did not know whether it contained the whole of the stock. Three men had been committed for trial at the next Worcester maims, on a charge of stealing his property. One of them was Derby, his foreman. He had been continued in employment under the authority of the court. Mr. Charles Eaton, auctioneer, Chiswell-etreet, deposed that he had taken a subsequent inventory about the Bth or 9th October, end on comparing it with a former one found • deficiency of goods (which he pointed out) to the amount of about 6001. _ Commissioner—What was the difference of time between the twoi;ves t.Xles — Witham—One was oommoneed on the 17th of August ; the other on the Bth or 9th of October. Some of the goods, to the value of 80/. or 1001., had been recovered. There was still a didassiey in round Bores of 5001. He heard of parties who were very likely to have these goods in their possesdon. He obtained search warrants, and found goods in the possession of seek of them. Thee* potties were now committed. . _ Mr. Murray (to the bankrapt)—De you know anything of those goods? Bankrupt—Certainly not, farther than that I new a lot of them at the polioeotation. I could swear to some, but I had diZculty in saying that ethers were mine. I remember the failure of Streatdeild and 00. Mr. Murray—When woe that communicated to you ° very amly. I don't know, but I should think ci l3ank =t,iir 2nd, or 3rd of July. Mr. Murray—They stopped on the god of July—the Monday. Call to your recollection if it was not communi cat( to you on theTrooding Saturday. Mr. Murray—Can you give any rowan why, on the 2nd oi July, you drew out of your bankers two DUMB of 400?. and 41501. Ban .immt—l can. The bankers bad some bills back, and there was a whisper of what was going on, and I gave them a cheek for 4501. Mr. Maury—Dad you not hear on tho Monday morning of thefailnre of Btreatteild's house! Bankrept—Carteinly not, nor that they were in difiiculties. The banker_ applied to me, and asked for the money. I thought he bed Mee very kind to me in many things, and I did it. He hoe the money. It wan in my counting house. The beaker ease to me. He knew of Streatfeild's failure. Don't know what time of the day that was. No ; the banker did not come to me. I think either Mr. Moore or I went to him. I really cannot tell whether I was there or not. I gave the cheque to Mr. Moore, my clerk, or traveller. He used to go to the bank a great deal on Wei noes, and it was stated to him that there were some bills of Hooper's back, or coming back, and the banker mid be thought he wee entitled to the money. Mr. Murray—You had better be cautions about It is a very serious affair. What did Mr. Moore my to you! Bankrupt--Tbere was something said about bills that were either back or coming back, and they required the money from me. I signed the cheque on Mr. Moore a ap plication. I don't reoe !whether I saw the hankers that ?Eru p t Ph in cl ei rdtttire I did, and Wen I titr., that day. Besides the cheque for 4 m 50/. 6a paid e to wn the ban kers, I alio drew out 4001. that day. Mr. Murray—Why did you do that ! Bankrupt—l made up my mind to pay the small debtors in the town. I don't mulled giving Mr. Hands 851. that day, but I might have done it. The bank had security to the extent of about 2,0001. On or about the 2nd of July I sent leather to Channel!, Moles, and Co., of London, who were my creditors at that time. They held my acceptances, which were not then due ; but I had agreed to pay them the money about that time. Mr. Murray—Then will you be good enough to explain why you sent them goods before the acceptances were due! Bankrupt—l think the seeds were some which I hod bought of than shortly before, and for which they bad no aoceptance. I don't d,Oe that as a positive fact, but they were very good friends, and had served me in my diffi culties, and I wee perfectly willing to let them have them. I know Southall, a shoe manufacturer, of Kidderminster. I delivered him goods about that time —I suppose some hundreds of pounds' worth. I drew upon . him, but he did not pay his bills regularly. He has not paid for those goods. Mi. Murray said that there were as great many frauds and ini9uities under this estate, and it wee necessary that the assignees should have power to sift the matter to the utter most, and to prosecute where prosecution was necessary. Three men had already been committed for trial at the next sessions. There was still a deficiency of above 5001. This arifortunate man seemed to have been left at liberty, during a period of six weeks, to do whatever be liked with his property. Streatfeild and Co. had stopped on the 2nd July. On the 30th of June this man had begun to remove his pro perty. On the 2od July be had drawn 4001. out of the bank, and given 4501. to the beakers. On the same day Mr. Coleman went down to take so account of his affairs. Instead of allowing him to do so, the gentleman went over to Birmingham, and presente d his petition for a I about the sth or 6th of July. The court there g r a7l l :C e Ltil the 13th of August before the first meeting was to be held. Of coarse, in the interim the creditors were prevented from doing anything. He then made affi davit that further time was required, and the commissioner gave him to the 10th September. Between the oth of July and the 13th of August be had been at liberty to do just whet he pleased, and it seemed he had done what he On the 13th of August there was a meeting of the e:don creditors ; they were very much dissatisfied, and wished that he should be made bankrupt immediately. However, he went to the Birmingham court, nod got him self adjudicated bankrupt on the 17th of August. The messenger of that court continued in possession until the proceedings were remitted to this court, and then Mr. Stubbs, the messenger, took possession. Mr. Eaton discovered the deficiency in the stock ; and with his amietanoe and that of the police, a portion of the goods bad been traced and recovered. He asked that the examination might be adjourned until the 15th of January, and that the assignees should have full power to follow up their inquiries to prosecute these men at the next session, sod any other who they found ought to be prosecuted, including the bankrupt, if necessary. The Ootembeimer—lt will be necessary to have a separate order for each prosecution, or class of promotions. I can not give general powers. Mr. Murray—Then we cannot go on. The Commissioner —Make what inquiries you please. But when you prosecute you must have the authority of the court if you mean to apply for coeta. If you require the order of the court for continuing the prosecution already begun, that must be made a separate order. Mr. Merry—Exactly. But what I want is that the assignees may continue their inquiries and investigate this affair fully . . The Commissioner—They are perfectly at liberty of their own right to prosecute those inquiries ; but when it comes to an indictment they meet have the order of the court, or they cannot get their mete. Mr. Murray—An indictment will be preferred at the Worcester sessions against those three men on the 2nd Jan. Thee I understand that, as far as the court is concerned, the assignees have power to continue their inquiries, sod to do what in their judgment they think best. The Commissioner—Yes, fully so. Mr. Haigh, on behalf of the bankrupt, asked that his protection should be continued until the next meeting. Under the circumstances, he would not ask the court to renew the allowance. The protection was renewed. Ultimately the last examination was adjourned until the 23n1 of January.
