EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. ERRORS FROM THE COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Judges present : Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Crowder, Mr. Justice Willis, Mr. Baron Martin, Mr. Baron Watson, Mr. Baron Bram well, and Mr. Baron Channel. BROOK. AND ANOTHER V. ALTON. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., resumed his argument in this part heard cause for the plaintiff in error. The plaintiff relies on his patent for the manufacture of woollen fabrics by perpendicular friction and rotatory motion, and beating, which produces a glasse appearance on woollen thread. The defendant opposed the patent, on the ground that he had previously obtained a patent for manufacturing cotton and linen yarn by a glutinous solution, which produced the same glass() appearance in cotton thread and fabrics manu factured as the plaintiff's patent. At the trial the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, but the Court of Queen's Bench entered the verdict for the defendant. It is probable the arguments will occupy the whole of his day. DIVORCE COURT. (Before the Lord Chancellor, Mr. Justice Wightman, and Sir C. Cressitell.) CAUSE. -REED V. REED AND DAVIS. Dr. Wambey applied to the Court to allow supplemen tary evidence to be laid before the Court, in addition to the evidence that was laid before the jury. The defendant's brother, Patrick Thomas, was called and examined, and proved the marriage of his sister with the plaintiff ten years since, but he denied all knowledge of the adultery. His sister, two years ago, lived at Swansea. His, sister, Jane Reed or Thomas, was lawfully married to the plaintiff, John Reed, ten years ago. The Lord Chancellor considered that further additional evidence should be produced, first, to prove the marriage, and secondly, the adultery. Witness does not know whether they lived happily together. He did not see them l ive together. He went to the West Indies, and was ab sent about four years and a half. Plaintiff failed in busi ness, and took a. situation as a gentleman's servant. His sister lived with Mrs. Webber in 1849, and afterwards at West Cross with Dr. lianvers' mother. Lord Chancellor—Have you any suggestions to make to the Court, Dr. Wambey ? Dr. Wainbey—l leave the case entirely in the hands of the Court. The Lord Chancellor decreed the dissolution of the mar riage, and ordered £2O in the Savings Bank to be given to the surviving child of the marriage. WEBER V. WEBER AND PAYNE. Of consent of counsel for both parties this petition was dis missed with costs. COULTHART V. COULTHART AND GOUTHWAIT. Dr. Swabey, for the plaintiff husband, is now examining witnesses to prove the marriage and adultery of the wife. Miss Coulthart, sister of the plaintiff, is now being examined. The case will probably occupy the whole of this day. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD C RT. (Before the . corder.) Richard Pike, 29, Margaret Pike, 33, and Margaret Teggell, were indicted for coining. The male prisoner pleaded guilty, the females not guilty. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Poland conducted the prosecution. The females were defended by Mr. Metcalfe. Mr. Bodkin, having stated the case against the prisoners, called Mr. Brennan, who said—l am a retired inspector of police, and am now in the employ of the authorities of the Royal Mint. I, accompanied by several other officers, went to a house in Cranbrook-street, Victoria -park, and on gain ing admission one of the constables ran into the back yard, and the others proceeded to the door of a room which was locked. The door was forced open with a sledge-hammer, and upon entering we discovered the prisoners engaged in making counterfeit coin. The man had a mould in his hand, which he threw down and stamped upon the moment I entered. I endeavoured to prevent his destroying the mould, when he became so violent that I was com pelled to keep him at bay with the sledge hammer. The women then commenced destroying the the coin that was lying on the table. Immediately the coin was thrown into the fire it melted, proving that they were made of base metal. Three or four of the coins were picked up, and I now produce them. The prisoners made a desperate resistance, during which the elder female fell against a chair, and received a very severe injury on the head. She said, if she had had a knife, she would have put it into my heart. Upon the room being searched, we found a tobacco-pipe, with white metal, in a bowl, in a fused state, a file, a bottle, some spirit, a jug containing acid, some leaden spoons, a galvanic battery, some " chum ming" composition to give the coins a dull appearance, some plaster of Paris. On my going into the room, Mar garet Pike, the elder female prisoner, said, " Oh I Mr. Brennan, save my child." Mr. Metcalfe—You forgot to tell, Mr. Brennan, how you got into the room. Brennan—Oh, no I I didn't ; one of the police went to the door and knocked, and got in. Mr. Metcalfe—He was dressed as a butcher. Witness—Yes. Mr. Metcalfe—With a joint of meat. Witness—No, he had no meat. We are compelled to ake these measures, or we should very seldcim effect a capture. Mr. Metcalfe—You saw all three of the prisoners were engaged in making counterfeit coin. Witness—Yes. They were all sitting round the fire. The male prisoner had a plaster of Paris mould in his hand making counterfeit shillings. The younger one had a file in her right hand, and a counterfeit shilling in the left. Th .woman Pike was engaged doing something at a table on vhich were a great quantity of counterfeit shil lings. When we went in they all commenced throwing the base coin into the fire, and smashing the moulds. Inspector Bryan—l accompanied the last witness to the house in Cranbrooke-street. This witness's evidence was merely a repetition of Brennan's. Sergeant Evans, G division—l went with the other officers. The half mould I produce I picked up off the floor. It was quite warm when I picked it up. Tickell was standing upon the fragments of it. She had a file in her'right hand, with a quantity of white metal in the interstices of it, showing that she was engaged in filing the coins. Arthur Elliot, another police-officer, said—l am a police constable. I was the first to enter prisoner's room. I at the time wore a blue frock as a disguise. When I got in I took hold of Margaret Pike. She said, " Let me go, or I'll stick a knife into your heart; or I'll do something else which shall send you to the grave." They were all very violent. Mr. Metcalfe said he felt the evidence was too clear against the younger prisoner, as she was found with the file in her hand. With respect to the other female (Mar garet Pike) she was entitled to her acquittal, as she was merely acting under the direction of her husband, and was therefore an irresponsible agent. Mr. Bodkin—The conduct and language of the woman clearly showed that she was under no coercion. (Laughter.) The Recorder—l think we had bettor have the marriage proved. Mr. Metcalfe then called several witnesses, who spoke as to being present at the marriage of the male prisoner Richard Pike, and Margaret Teggell, the mother of the other prisoner, and the learned gentleman also put in tho marriage certificate. Mr. Bodkin—l wish Mr. Brennan to be recalled. He, I believe, has known the woman for the last 14 or 15 years. Brennan, in answer to questions from Mr. Bodkin, said — I have known the younger prisoner from her childhood. I once saw her at Worship-street police court in custody for uttering counterfeit coin. She has since that time, I believe, made every effort to get away from home, and has since been apprenticed to the dressmaking. She was no doubt incited to the commission of the offence by her mother, who has been known for some time to the Mint authorities, but she has always escaped conviction. The Recorder—l think the marriage of the female pri soner has been fully proved, and she is therefore entitled to her acquittal, with respect to the evidence against the other prisoners it appears to me so clear that, unless the jury wish, I think it would only be needlessly occupying their time to read it over. The jury, without hesitation, foundboth prisoners guilty, but strongly recommended the girl to mercy on account of her age. The Recorder—l shall respite the sentence on the girl until next session, as it appears very clearly she has been struggling against the commission of crime. At the time she was at Worship-street Police-court she could only have been 12 years of age, and she must have then been acting under the direction of her parents. Mr. Metcalfe—There are persons in court, your worship, willing to take charge of her. The Recorder—l am anxious to separate her from her mother, and for that reason I shall not sentence her before the next session. In the meantime, inquiries will be made about her. Mr. Bodkin—Don't you, my lord, think it is a case for a Reformatory. The Recorder—My wish is to separate the child from her mother. The prisoner Pike, on being asked what he had to say why sentence should not be passed upon him, said, " I throw myself upon the mercy of the Court. I was nearly starving, and pawned everything before I committed the offence." ____ The Recorder said the offence was one which could not be treated lightly, as the manufacturer of counterfieit coin was the person who was the cause of a great many others transgressing the laws. His lordship then sentenced Pike to penal servitude for four years. NEW COURT. The Common-Sergeant was' occupied the whole of the day with Mint cases, none of which possessed the slightest interest, LITERATURE. Passages from My Autobiography. By Sydney Lady - Morgan. - Bentley. This work is well calculated to attract the at tention of the public. The name of the authoress is so well known in the literary world, and the striking ability displayed in her works has been so universally recognised that her present produc tion cannot fail to be appreciated. The gifted writer has placed on her title-page this motto, " Lest auld acquaintance be forgot," and a surer way of perpetuating their fame and honouring their memory co uld hardly be found,than in recording their existence in the sparkling sketches that distin guish this brilliant work. When it is considered that a period of forty years has elapsed since the passages here presented to our notice were written it will naturally occur to the mind that the chances and changes of life will have effected manifold and startling alterations. It is not likely that many of those shining ornaments of society, or meteor stars of fame whose grace and whose genius live again in these chronicles are now extant to smile at the mention of their past days, or sigh over the memories they recall. No better idea can be conveyed of the purport of this book than is afforded by the perusal of this extract from the preface:— They were not written for the special purpose of any work, but were mere transcripts of circumstances incidental to that journey, which was delayed in its progress by all that could interest the feelings or gratify the mind. I lin gered in this " path of dalliance," this "delicate plain of ease" (as dear old Bunyan calls it), with the same careless enjoyment as " Little Red Riding Hood" must have had on her way to her granddame's hut, pausing only to pick a flower here orja pebble there, insensible to the proximityof the grim wolf who was waiting to devour her. I, like Little Red Riding Hood, loitered to pick up a flower or secure a pebble that lay in my way, whilst the proximity of the grim wolf, Time, which sooner or later devours all things, was un heeded. But the flower gathered still retains its fragrance for me, and the pebble, like the searaba3us found among the antique rubbish of Egyptian tombs, bears the divine im press of genius. During what was then deemed a perilous journey to Italy, I followed up my old habit of occasional diary; and one still older and dearer, a const-nt correspondence with my dear and only sister. These homestead letters—these rapidly scrawled diaries, written "a saute et a gambade," form, I believe, the materiel portion of this volume. The more spirituel and interesting part will be found in the letters of some of the most eminent men and women of the times they illustrated by their genius, their worth, their cultiva tion of letters, and their love of liberty. Those who would recall the bright scenes of a brilliant past, and learn how many who have since become world-wide celebrities appeared in their own generation to their contemporaries, cannot do better than snatch "The glimpse of the days that are o'er," which this work presents. Its chief merit consists in its facts being recorded in a style that is made charming by the glowing fancy of the writer. A PHASE OF SLAVERY. A moving incident came to our knowledge last week, which we lay before our readers. We suppress names for reasons obvious to every one. Near Louis ville, Kentucky, lives a planter of wealth and standing. He was the possessor of 100 negroes, and he was noted for his thrifty, money-making disposition. He had never been married, and was an incorrigible bachelor of 50. His house was managed by a young lady of about 20, his daughter by a quadroon, whose complexion was lighter by half than his, and in whom the negro •blood was scarcely visible. The mother died 10 years ago, leaving her daughter with the father's solemn pro mise that she should be educated and should live as a free woman rather than as a slave, and that she should pass as his daughter, as she was. The planter gave this promise, because he had been really attached to the dying woman, and was greatly attached to her and his beautiful child. And so she grew up, radiantly beautiful, receiving a reasonable education—all that her father could give her, and in time took the management of his household. She never knew that there was any negro blood in her veins, and never dreamed that she was a slave. Last fall a series of misfortunes overtook the planter. His house was burnt down, and in it the notes, books, and papers that composed a large portion of his fortune. His crops failed to a great degree, and some heavy speculations in which he was engaged resulted disastrously. Added to all this, he had lost heavily at play, the besetting sin of Southern gentlemen, and had completely exhausted all his ready means, and found himself in the terrible situation of having more money to pay than he could possibly raise in a given time. He applied to his attorney for counsel in his extremity. The attorney, after exa mining the situation of his affairs, advised him to sell off a portion of his negroes. The planter ob jected strenuously ; first objecting to the sale of ne groes, and secondly . , that his force was barely suffi cient to work his plantation. But, after full delibera tion, he found this to be the only alternative, and sorrowfully consented. A list was made out, and every head that could be possibly spared was put down. After all was done, and the most favourable prices for them, the aggregate fell 5,000 dol. short of the sum. The attorney remarked quietly that he had not included all that could be spared. " I have put down all I can dispense with," replied the planter. "I do not see Mary the housekeeper's name in the list,' replied the lawyer. " She, if offered to the right person, would make up the deficiency. I would give that for her myself." At any other time the planter would have taken the suggestion as an insult, but necessity is a hard master, and be grasped ,at the idea, and before an hour the transaction was closed. It troubled him not p, little to disclose the matter to her, but the fear of bankruptcy and ruin drove him to' it. The poor girl's horror and distress may be imagined. She had known nothing but happiness, and now was to be plunged into the deepest and most hope less misery. She had been sold, and was then the property, soul and body, of one who purchased her merely for the gratification of his beastly lusts. The idea was too horrible, and she swooned, and remained almost delirious for several days. There was another upon whom the intelligence came with crushing weight ; a junior partner in a produce house in Louisville had frequently visited the planter's house on business, and, struck with the beauty and intelligence of the supposed daughter, had become enamoured, and after prosecuting his suit a proper time had declared his passion, and, unknown to the father, the two had betrothed themselves. As soon as possible after her father had told her her fate she despatched a messenger to him, stating the facts, and implored him to save her from the doom that awaited her. Though thun derstruck at th a intelligence that his affianced bride was a slave, and had just been sold to a fate worse than death, like a true man he determined to rescue her. That night he saw her, and a plan was formed for flight. The day she was to be transferred to the possession of her purchaser they fled, and in due time arrived in Cincinnati, where they were married. Our hero obtained an inter view with one of the agents of the Underground Railroad located in that city, who immediately telegraphed instructions to the different agents along the line to keep strict watch, and if woman catchers were on the watch at any point to tele graph back and give the fugitives timely notice, that they might leave the train. Accordingly they started, purchasing tickets for Crestline. In the meantime the lawyer, as soon as he discovered his loss had commenced active measures to recover it. He had no difficulty in tracing them to Cincin nati, and none whatever in ascertaining that their destination was Crestline. But having arrived se veral hours after their departure, he was com pelled to content himself with telegraphing to Crestline to the proper officers to arrest them at that place. But unfortunately for his prospects, the intended arrest got wind, and when the train reached Galion, two citizens of that place stepped into the car, and a conversation of a few moments ensued in the lowest kind of whispers, at the close of which the four left the car. A carriage was in waiting, and in two hours the fair fugitive and her husband were domiciled in the house of one of our whole souled farmers, near Bucyrus, who has long taken pleasure is helping fugitives on their way to the Canadian Canaan. When the train on which they embarked reached Crestline, the officials were un utterably chagrined at not finding the fugitives, and more so when they learned that they had been within four miles of them. After a lapse of two weeks they ventured a move, and went to De troit by the way of Sandusky city, and without accident reached the Canadian shore. They are now resid ing in Toronto.—Bucyrus ( Ky.) The Indipendente of Turin states that the ring presented by the Empress of the French to the Princess Clotilde was accompanied by the following autograph letter :—" It is customary in Spai n, when a young person takes a husband, for her best friend to offer her a ring. A. Spaniard by birth, I wish to observe towards . you the e this ring tra &dons of my country. Willy ou, then, receive and permit me, while wait in g to embrace you as a cousin, to call myself your first friend." T HE MURDER AT SHEFFIELD.—The Sun of of yesterday contained particulars of a brutal murder at Sheffield. Yesterday evening, George Plant, brewer's traveller, was apprehended on the charge. He was under the influence of liquor; and stabbed the deceased, William Wilson, opposite the Post-office, with a dagger which he had been displaying in other parts of the town. WILLS.—The will of Vice-Admiral Sir Andrew Pellett Green was proved on the sth of January. The whole of the property is left to Lady Green. The person alty was sworn under £s,ooo.—The will of Vice-Admiral Peter John Douglas was proved on the 6th of January. The sword presented to him by Lloyd's Pdtriotic Fund he has bequeathed to his eldest sou, and leaves his property in specific and pecuniary bequests among his children, and the residue equally among them.—. The will of Charles Cotton, M.D., late of King's Lynn, Norfolk, was proved in London on the 16th January, Personalty, £4,000. THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. COURT OF DIVORCE.—(This Day.) 'Before the Lord Chancellor, Mr. Justice Wight man, and the Judge Ordinary.) KEATS Y. KEATS AND MONTEZUMA. Mr. Phinn, Q.C., on behalf of Mr. Keats, now applied for_ a decree dissolving the marriage. It will be recollected that this cause was tried before the Judge Ordinary a short time ago, and it was some time before the jury could agree with re spect to the term " condonation," as laid down by the learned judge. The verdict was ultimately given in favour of Mr. Keats, it being to the effect that adultery had been committed, and that the offence had not been condoned. Dr. Phillimore opposed the application for a de cree dissolving the marriage, and moved for a rule for a new trial, on the ground that the Judge Ordinary had wrongly defined the word "condo nation," and the jury found in accordance with his lordship's definition ; and also, that the verdict was against the evidence. The Court granted the application on both points, intimating at the same time that the learned coun sel was in the position to apply for a rule nisi. Mr. Phinn asked their lordships when it would be convenient for him to show cause against the rule. The Lord Chancellor fixed Friday next as the day on which the Court would hear the learned gentleman. NA VAL INTELLIGENCE.

A CASE FOR A REFORMATORY.—James Cattier, a boy about 15, was charged with stealing a surgical instrument from the shop of Mr. Joseph France Pratt, surgical instrument maker, of 420, Oxford-street. The prosecutor said he was sitting at the back of his shop on the previous afternoon, writing, when he saw the prisoner and another boy looking in at the door. They went away for a short time, and came back, and the pri soner pushed open the door, darted in, seized the instru ment in question, and rushed out of the shop. He pursued him, and at length he was stopped by a gentleman, and just as he came up he saw him drop the instrument. He then gave him into custody. The other boy made his escape. Gowan, 13, C, said he believed the boy was known. In answer to Mr. Beadon, the boy said he was sent in to take it by another boy. Mr. Beadon committed him for three months with hard labour.
