(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.) FOSTER V. FOSTER AND BERRIDGE. This was a petition presented by the husband, a Major n the Indian Army, for dissolution of his marriage on the ground of adultery committed by the respondent with the co-respondent Berridge, who was matager of Meux's brewery, at the corner of Tottenham-court - road. Damages were laid at £lO,OOO. The respondent denied the adultery, and pleaded cruelty, wilful desertion, and general conduct conducing to the com mittal of adultery. The co-respondent also denied the alle gations to the petition. The respondent, according to the opening statement of counsel, in the year 1856 arrived in this country from India for the benefit of her health, and also for the education of three of her children, and took apartments in Bloomsbury square. Some time after it was alleged she became ac quainted with the co-respondent, and an adulterous inter course took place, the result f which was the birth of a child. A number of witnesses were examined, but their evidence merely proved the marriage, and the terms upon which Major Foster and his wife lived while in India. One of whom, however, a nurse, sad she had very frequently seen Mr. Berridge at Mrs. Foster's lodgings. She knew it was that gentleman, because she had before been engaged at a house in Russell street, Bloomsbury, the back windows of which looked into the brewery, and she had frequently seen him going in. The case will last at least two or three days. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE LUMLEY.-HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. ---- - This day was appointed for last examination and dis charge, but the assignees (represented by Messrs. Link later), required further accounts, and an adjournment took place till the 21st January, at three. The cases during the morning were unimportant. POLICE-THIS DAY. USZBREiiiiiiiDxsTumnip.--Charles Er wood, a well-known convicted thief, was charged before Mr. Knox with loitering in Fitzroy-square for the purpose of com mitting a felony. Outred, a constable of the E division, said that about two that morning be was in Fitzroy-square with another con stable, both being in plain clothes, when he saw the pri soner and another man looking down the areas. Catching sight of them (the officers) they made off down London street, and back again to Fitzroy-square. While standing by the inclosure of the same street he (Outred) heard a crash of glass and saw the prisoner from a doorway, and then went up and secured him. On asking him what he was doing the prisoner replied, " It's all right. You can only make a drag (three months) of it. I have not got the - screws (keys). What the others are doing is nothing to me." He (Outred) with the assistance of the officers had examined the houses in the direction of which the prisoner ran, but could not find any appearance of a window having been broken. Police-constable, 41 B, having corroborated the other constable, Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner. THE CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND CAVSING THE DEATH OF A CHILD.—The young woman, Jane Hunt, described as a needlewoman, charged with attempting to commit suicide by drowning herself in the Serpentine, and also with causing the death of her child by drowning, was again brought before Mr. Knox. The prisoner, it may be remembered, was rescued by Parsons, the chief boatman of the Royal Humane Society, and taken to the receiving-house, and from what she after wards told him he dragged the Serpentine and found the body of a male child. A nurse at St. George's Workhouse said that the pri soner was constantly under her care, and on the first day she was in the house she asked for her baby on two dif ferent occasions. On asking her if she had any friends, she said, " None but her father," and she declined to say who or where he was. She gave the witness to under stand that the baby was dead. She spoke to the prisoner about Cheltenham, and she said she once had an aunt there. On one occasion sho told the prisoner there was a child in the dead-house, if she would like to see it, and she said she would not. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner that the police might institute inquiries to ascertain the prisoner's parents. TEA ROBBERY IN THE LONDON DOCK.--Jobn Page, an occasional labourer in the London Dock, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing 41bs. of tea from a warehouse in the dock. Yesterday afternoon, a dock watchman named Thomas Slater, noticed the prisoner on the south quay looking very bulky, and felt his coat. At the same time Slater said to the prisoner you have got something, to which the prisoner replied, " I have got some tea.' Slater said you must come with me, on which the prisoner took a bag of tea out of his pocket and th ew it into the, dock basin. A man named Henry Hobson immediately procured the drags, and at the first dip secured the bag, which contained 411)a. of tea. John George, a constable in the service of the London Dock Company, said there was a box in the tea shed which appeared to have been broken open, and three or four lbs. of tea gone from it. The prisoner had been employed in the dock occasionally for some time past. The prisoner admitted he stole the tea. He pleaded poverty, and begged of the magistrate to be merciful. He was vet y sorry for what he had done. _ _ Mr. Selfe--Do you plead guilty, or do you prefer going for trial. The prisoner —I plead guilty, sir. Mr. Selfe said he could not pass over such a serious offence as this with a light punishment. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for three months and kept to hard labour. BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

The supply of English wheat on sale here, to-day, was small, and the condition of most samples was by no moans satisfactory. Dry qualities changed hands slowly, at late rates; but damp parcels were very dull, and almost nominal in value. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. In nearly all descriptions, a moderate retail business was trans acted, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at previous quotations. Good and fine malting barley was firm in price ; other wise, the barley trade ruled inactive, at late rates. The demand for malt was in a sluggish state, at barely /ate rates. There was a moderate supply of oats on the stands, and the trade ruled inactive for all descriptions, at fully the late decline in prices. Beans were in far from active request, yet their value was supported. Peas sold slowly, at quite the recent decline in the quo tations. Barrel flour was less active, and rather cheaper. Other kinds without change from Monday last. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. Barley. Malt.. Oats. Flour.

Fanny Jacobs, aged 44, a married woman, and Michael Hozizien, a German, were indicted for stealing 23 yards of satin and 12 yards of silk, the property of Messrs. Robinson and Co., warehousemen, in the city. The prisoner Jacobs pleaded guilty, and after the facts were gone into, which have already appeared in The Sun during the examinations of the prisoners before the police magistrates, the jury found the male prisoner guilty. The Recorder sentenced Jacobs to 18 months, and the other prisoner to 12 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. NEW COURT.

COFFEE.—A fair amount of business has been negotiated in colonial descriptions, at slightly enhanced prices. RlCE.—There has been an average demand for East India, but without any material change to record in prices.

The steamship Crusader, which arrived at Liverpool yesterday from Jam a ica and B ermu d a , reports the arrival at the latter port of the steamer Coruubia, from Fayal. On the voyage the Cor nubia was overhauled by the Federal steamer Tuscarora. cargo (coals) put on o ne side, her hatches opened, the and the vessel searched throughout. The cre w of t he Tuscarora stated that they A boat's crew was se nt on boa rd, were in search of the steamer Pearl, THE lONIAN ISLANDS. Of these islands, the volume of colonial statistics recently issued by the Board of Trade reports the population, in 1860, to be 232,426, and the area 1,041 square miles ; in round number the six-hundredth part of our possessions, in point of population, and the three-thousandth part in area. The productions of the islands in 1860 comprised 69,253 barrels of olive oil, worth from 50s. to bss. a barrel ; 30,250,8971b5, of currants, worth from five guineas upwards per 1,0601b5. ; and 148,539 barrels of wine, ranging from Ils. to 21s. per barrel. Only 67,580 bushels of wheat were grown in the year ; the soil is more favourable to grape cul tivation than to the raising of corn, and indeed corn is the chief import taken. The live stock consisted of 13,171 horses, 10,374 horned cattle, 131,684 sheep, and 111,907 goats, a considerable increase within these few years. The revenue of 1860 was £140,855, the expenditure, £151,187; in the last 12 years the lonian revenue has only on two oc • casions provided the Exchequer with a surplu'. The ex port duty on the olive crop forms the standard and main' spring of lonian finance, and the trade being as speculative as the hop trade in England, the revenue is liable to violent fluctuations ; the export duty on oil produced above £BO,OOO tgsg, only £lO,OOO in 1869, and £27,000 in 1860. Moro than a mire et the revenue et tue year was raisea nom the export duties of 191 per cent. on olive oil and currants, and a still larger proportion from import duties ; only £24,090 by stamp duties and other inland taxation of a trifling cha racter, no article of consumption (save salt and gunpowder) being taxed except on exportation or importation. The re turn of imports and exports is for 1859, a year of bad har vest. The imports amounted to £1,306,303, the exports to only £649,047. The imports from Turkey amounted to £432,980; from Greece, £106,311; from Austria, £152,360; from the United Kingdom, £355,050, cotton being the chief item in the export from this country. The entrances and clearances of shipping in 1860 were 517,320 tons inwards 525,802 tons outwards. They have shown a large increase within the last two or three years. Wages in 1860 averaged 355. a month for domestic labour, ls. 6d. a day for predial, and 2s. 6d. a day in trade. The lonian peasant is said to be not very provident. There was an abundant harvest in 1858, and the marriages next year were 4,002 ; the harvest in 1859 was defective, and the marriages of MO fell to 1,358. The population contains no less than 116 men to every 100 women; and it is singular that for several years the births, marriages, and deaths in Corfu have all been more than in Cephalonia, where the population is greater.

The mate of the Alfred Fanny, an English teasel, lying at Havre, named Bienaime, aged 32 years, was found murdered on the quay the night before last. Some persons having observed a man running froth the spot pur sued him, but on their coming up to him, he turned and menaced them with a knife. Being unarmed, the pursuers could only keep the man in view, until they met with a police officer, who, on being informed of the circumstance, arrested the fugitive. Although his clothes were stained with blood, the man denied any knowlege of the crime. He is a stoker on board the Ville du Havre, named Martin. He resides at Havre, and is married. Another stoker on board the Ville du Havre, named Clorac, has also been ar rested, h• having been in company with Martin on the evening of the crime. AFRICAN RUNNERS.—We find the following in teresting account of Arab runners or couriers in an able article by General Dumas, published in this fortnight's .Revue Contemporains. The following 'sketch of one of them will give an idea of these singular men. Ben- Saydane, about 35 years of age in 1858, was tall, spare but robust, with well-shaped arms and legs. His only raiment was a cotton shirt surmounted by a light burnous; a few reeds stuck into his belt in front formed a kind of basket in which he carried his provisions. He wore a kind of sandals, which he used to manufacture himself out of camel and goatskin, and a small sheathed knife, with his faithful Keno* or stick, completed his equipment. The Arabs main tained that he had received from God the gift of swift ness, the faculty of never losing his way even in the wildest regions, and that of being able to live upon the smallest quantity possible of food. In 1845 he was sent by his chief with a highly important secret message to Abd el-Kader, and starting from a place called El-Had, six leagues from Jelfa, he arrived at Taguedemt, where Abd el-Kader was, on the following morning, having performed 216 kilometres (135 miles) on foot in 26 hours, his food during that time consisting of about ten ounces of flour, and a draught of water whenever he happened to meet with a spring. The Emir and his chiefs would not believe him when he told them so; but his despatch, which was correctly dated, dispelled all doubt on the matter. He is now employed by the French, and is amply paid for his pedestrian services, which have often proved valuable. In order not to lose the habit of walking, he often goes from Jelfa to Laghouat, a distance of 115 kilometres (72 miles) in 14 hours. When he was inscribed on the registers of Jelfa as one of the couriers of the French office there, the chief of the office said to him : " Buy a good herse ; you know a mekhazani (courier) must be well mounted." Upon which Ben-Saydane burst out laughing, and at length replied : " Humble not thy servant by bidding him buy a horse, which eats more than a whole family does, which neighs and leaves the prints of its hoofs behind, prints which most fre quently discover us to our enemies 1 What am Ito do with a horse ? Be satisfied that thou has a man who can do more than thy best horses can do, and who will never ask thee either for oats or straw or horse-shoes." Since then he has been as good as his word, and generally beats the mounted couriers in speed, especially in the case of long distances. ELECTION FOR CITY SOLICITOR.—At a Court of Common Council, held yesterday afternoon, the list of candidates were reduced by a show of hands to 014 viz., Mr. Nelson and M r. Crosby.

The weather had been so bad outside that hardly any comparative trial took place except in wearing. All the ships are said to have behaved wonderfully well during the heavy weather they had gone through, and, in the emphatic language of an offi cer serving on board the Revenge, "have proved themselves fit to go anywhere." In comparison with the Revenge they were found to rise and fall with the sea very easily, and it was remarked that no seas were seen to break over them in the roughest part of the voyage. All four—the Warrior, Black Prince, Resistance, and Defence—had proved to be in possession of weatherly qualities beyond expee• tation, and requiring very little aftersail. The fleet returned to Lisbon on the 4th inst. As they were running in, with the wind fresh abeam, under double reefed topsails and topgallantsails, signal was made from the flagship to take tho latter in, which was no sooner acconiplistied than a heavy squall struck the squadron. Topsails were lowered, and mainsheets eased off The Warrior's maintack carried away, and her mainyard went in the quar ter. The Revenge's foretopmast gave way between the fid-hole and the sheave, but was arrested there, and no further mischief was done. The Admiral appeared determined to test the ships in every pos sible way, and each ship is described as being ad mirably handled. We are glad to find that there is some chance of that very useful ship, the Simoom, being again brought forward for the publia service as a troop ship. Her machinery has been taken in hand by the steam factory officials at Portsmouth, and a number of convicts are employed in chipping the scale from the inner skin of her plates, to ascertain their exact condition.

The screw steam frigate Emerald, 36, Captain Arthur Cumming, continued in Plymouth Sound ap to yesterday morning, waiting orders from the Ad miralty. His Prussian Majesty's screw steam corvette Ga zelle, 26, left Plymouth Sound on Tuesdayfor Japan. The Pylades, 21, 350 horse power,Capt. A. Hood, having received the whole of her stores, provisions, &c., on board, left her moorings at Folly Point, Chatham, yesterday morning, shortly before day light, under the guidance of Mr. Blakey, Queen's pilot at Chatham for the Nore, where she will ad just her compasses and proceed this morning, pro vided the weather be favourable, to the Maplit' Sands, for the purpose of testing her rate of speed at the measured mile. She will afterwards take her departure for the West Indies. The dimensions and weight of the masts sent to Pembroke from the Chepstow Ironworks, for the use of H.M.S. Prince Consort, were not accurately stated in The sFun of Tuesday last. The mainmast is 116 ft. long by 37in. in ciicumference,and weighs 18 tons 14cwt. ; the foremast is 110 ft. long by 36in. in circumference, and weighs 17 tons lOcwt.; the mizenmast is 83ft. long by 24in. i❑ circumference, and weighs 5 tons 14cwt. ; the bowsprit is 43ft. long by 36in. in circumference, and weighs 4 tons lOcwt. Thus the united length of the masts is 352 ft. and their weight 46 tons Bcwt. A. memorandum issued by command of the Field- Marshal Commanding-in-Chief states that the esta lishment of officers of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers being nearly complete, only 20 cadets can be received at the Royal Military Academy, Wool wich, from the January examination, and that at Midsummer next the number admitted will most probably be still further reduced. 7HE GBEA7 EASY ERN STEAMSHIP. The following letter appears in the New York papers :—" New York, Dec. 3.—ln conformity , with your request, I yesterday visited the steam ship Great Eastern, anchored off White Stone, for the purpose of examining the nature and extent of the injuries received by her in her late collision with a submerged rock, and the character of the repaize rcultieti necessary sort in progress In con sequence of that collision ; and having discharged this duty, I submit the following report :—Upon my arrival I examined the hull externally above water and within board to ascertain if it gave evi dence of any unresisted stress since my survey of her upon a previous voyage. Having satisfied my self on this point, I descended from without the hull to within the coffer enclosing the rupture in her bottom, and also from within the hull between the outer and inner plating, again down to the place of rupture, being by this proceeding enabled to examine the full extent of the injuries to the bot tom of the hull covered by the coffer and the cha ratter of the repairs being made thereto; and, upon a full consideration of the elements presented I am of the opinion —First, that the effect of the colli sion is restricted to a partial crushing of two of the webs and rupture of some of the outer plates of her bottom upon the port side, and that the hull of this vessel, beyond the points of rupture, above water and within board, is in no wise injured by the collision; secondly, that the repairs to her bottom, so far as made, have been executed in a manner to restore it to its original secu rity as to leaks and resistance to stress, and that the design both of the:method of effect ing these repairs and the manner of executing them reflect high credit to all concerned. In con nexion with this it is proper to refer to the COO itruction of the bottom of the vessel, in order that it may appear how peculiarly adapted it is to meet an injury like that which has occurred to it. Thus, the bottom is cOlposed of an outer and inner plating of equal thickness, iZjth an intervening space of 35 inches, the connexion between the , platings consisting of 32 webs, or kelsons, running fore and aft, and 13 athwart-ships, whereby the bottom is divided into a series of apart ments, or cells, the communication between them being at command, and from within board by the use of manhole plates. In the event, therefore, of the outer plating alone being ruptured, as in the present case, the inner plating will resist the admis sion of water within the hull, and the cellular struc ture of the whole will resist the admission of water between the platings beyond the limits of the cells enclosing the rupture. In communicating the re sult of my survey to the underwriters here and to Lloyd's, London, I shall report her seaworthiness provided the repairs now in advanced progress are completed, to be of the same character as before the collision which has involved them.—l am, very re spectfully, your obedient servant, C. H. Haswell, Engineer and Surveyor of Steamers.—To Messrs. Howland and Aspinwall, New York." Messrs. Howland and Aspinwall, agents for the Great Eas tern, publish a card in which they explain the na ture of the accident to this monster steamship and its relative consequences. They say that the result of the accident was a fracture 85 feet long, and in some places 4 feet broad, and in order to demonstrate that no other vessel affords the same protection against accidents they remind the public that she delivered nearly 1,000 passengers and 2,000 tons of merchandise (some of which remained on board for a week) without accident or the damage of any por tion of her cargo. The vessel, being built with two "skins," is, in fact, one vessel inside of another, and it is alone owing to this construction that she could survive such an accident an hour, the water being unable to penetrate the inner skin. The ship was hove to off Montauk, waiting for her pilot, whe n she struck a rock which is not marked down on the chart. The injury done was entirely to the ship's bottom, her screw not having been touched. Work men have been engaged for nearly two weeks past in drilling rivet holes and putting in the iron plates over the fracture hh eo t i o, n Da t ls l y t iendve theel a s s y el's b originala t p r o e t s t e o n m e to . ni s s it. T nn h i wee ruction io i t v ni e n o t g s f thearo i s t h u i t p i , n an r e d d t for iron plates, which can be put on faster than they can be made, owing to the enormous quantity of iron required for the United States Government. The Great Eastern's inner skin (which is of the same thickness as the outer one) being unimpaired, it is the opinion of scientific engineers that, even without any repairs, the ship would have been per fectly seaworthy, and would have crossed the ocean without risk.

BANKRUPTS. That portion of the Gazette oontai . 2--of" the bankruPts had not arrived when we went to press. How GENERAL 111PC0OK LOST HIS STARS. ---p A corresponent of the Cincinnati Commercial says " General Bragg exposed a fact in his official report of the battle of Chaplin-hill which General M'Cook had omitted to mention. The General was looking rather shabbily here in the way of broadcloth, and was moved to explain his seediness, which he confessed he would not have done if Bragg had not blabbed. A night after the battle of Chap , r y ivdecoe w : ne a dd s trao n fi nvr e oe v i mn e ta r ht e hrh i i p usr l ge a l et thedo , hb gap i u s t ci t u h la r a e at et i s r bs foreign. o a r tn e h i de g nt the vagrante aHmi Chap lin-hill had closed, one of Gilbert's borro we d b r i ga d e s was ar w ithdrawn from M'Cook's front w i t h out his know l e d g The mystery personal baggage, meantime, bh a u l m a d b a n u 0 el b ee na d a e ro; brigade and halted inside of the rebel lines. The corps of headquarters servants who accompanied the train were gobbled up at the same time, but some of them escaped. Thus General APCook lost his elegant new passants with, double stars, which friends had sent to him, and all of his wearing apparel, except the threadbare and battle worn suit in which he fought. His servant ludicrously describes the absurd scenes in the rebel camp, when the thin-legged and spare-ribbed rebels attempted to envelope themselves in M'Cook's enoimous drawers and undershirts. They would hold about four rebels apiece and three weeks' rations for padding. The general never can get even unless he cap" ture Humphrey Marshall." DEATH OF SIR G. L. HODGES, K.C.B.—We have to record the death of Colonel Sir George Lloyd Hod ges, K.C.8., formerly her AI WAO y , Charge d ' Affaires for the Hanse Towns. He was the son of Mr. George Thomas Hodges, of Limerick, and commanded the British and Foreign Legion in Portugal, under Dom Pedro. He was Consul in Servia from 1 837 to 1839, Consul-General in Egypt from 1839 to 1841, and Charge d'Affaires and Consul- General at Hamburg from 1841 to 1860, in which year he received his K.C.B. and retired on a pension. The gallant Colonel served in the Peninsula and at Waterloo. He Was 73 years of age. ,ANE , 100 all all a.. 1 all i I so} 2} f 884 30i 981 9 21} i 19 126 321 3
