For some time past there has been a great want of graving dock accommodation at Liverpool, the tonnage of the port, in spite of the general duln ess of trade, being constantly on the increase.

(Before the Master of the Rolls.) JUDGMENT.-PATCH V. SPARKS. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said—l am of °pillion that Eliza Higgins, or rather Eliza Patch, did not acquire, during her lifetime, a vested interest in the fifth share, being part of the sixth of the residue bequeathed by the testator, His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, on considering the terms of the will, came to the conclusion that John Patch, the late husband of Eliza Patch, had no vested interest in the fifth share that could be determined at present, and that his rights, if any, must be determined on the decease of John Higgins. And declared that the four surviving children were entitled to the sixth share of the residue be queathed to them by the testator. Costs of all parties to be pa id out of the fund. COURT FOR CROWN CASES RESERVED. (Before Chief Justice Erle, Justices Williams, Wightman Keating, and Mellor.) THE QUEEN V. SHEPPARD. This case was reserved by Justice Williams, who tried the case at the assizes, held at Exeter. The defendant, Ann Sheppard, was indicted for the wil ful murder of her daughter Mary Ann, whose death oc curred on the 26th of Oct., 1861. The deceased was a young unmarried woman, and for some time previous to her death was in the habit of going out to act as a domestic servant, her mother being at the time a widow. Previous to the death of the girl, the mother married again, and as the girl had been in the habit of returning home, when she was unemployed, she did so on the last occasion. Shortly a ter her last return she gave birth to a child, and as the mother did not send for the aid of a midwife it was alleged the girl died through that cause, and the mother was indicted for murder. The jury acquitted the defendant of the charge of murder, but found her guilty of manslaughter. Mr. Cole, who defended her at the trial, contended that such a finding could not be received, as the mother - was not guilty of a criminal act in not sending for the midwife. Mr. Justice Williams, on the application of Mr. Cole, reserved the point for the consideration of the judges, and this morning the dec sion of their lordships was an nounced by Chief-Justice Erle. His lordship said the judges were of opinion that the point raised by the learned counsel must be dismissed. POLICE 2NTELLIGENCE.—(774is Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BREAKING A MAN'S KNEE -CAP.—A ruffianly-looking fellow, tamed John Ryan, a porter, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with seriously assaulting a man named Robert Mellish, potman at the Cranbourn Tavern, St. Martin's •lane, and fracturing his knee-cap. The prisoner, with another man, went into the Cran bourn Tavern the previous night, called for some ale, and after:it was served him by Mrs. Keck, the landlady, he asked for his money back. This was refused, when he used the most disgusting language towards Mrs Keck, and on being put out by the potman, Mellish, he threw him and broke his knee-cap, and it was not probable that the in jured man would be able to leave the hospital for some time. Inspector Webb banded the magistrate a certificate, as follows : I , Charing-cross Hospital, Jan. 18. " I certify that Robert Mellish is an in-patient with a fractured knee-cap. " W. TRAVERS, Resident Medical Officer," Mrs. Keck, and Thomas Wade, of 13, Little Newport street, having deposed to the above facts, Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should remand the prisoner for a week, as breaking a knee-cap was a serious thing, and there was no knowing what might become of the man who was injured. THAMES. EXTENSIVE PLUNDER 07 TEA. IN THE VICTORIA Docx.—Thomas Brighton, aged 61, a carman, of No. 39, Nelson-street, Plaistow, near the Victoria Dock, George Palfrey, 29, of No. 10, Gabriel-street, Millwall, labourer, and Maria Cousins, a married woman, of No. 1, Nelson street, Plaistow, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing 3361b5. of tea, the property of the Victoria Dock Company, from the premises. Mr. R. Beverly, jun., from the Customs solicitor's office, said the case had been reported to the Board of Customs as one of smuggling, and he attended to watch the case on behalf of the Crown, inasmuch na the duty had not been paid on the tea seized under very extraordinary circum stances, but he believed the case would resolve itself into one of robbery. Mr. William Taylor, an examining officer of Customs, said he received private information that a large quantity of tea would arrive in Back Church-lane, St. George -in the -East, at a certain hour, in consequence of which he stationed himself close to the Blacksmith's Arms public house. At the time named to him by his informant he saw the two male prisoners waiting about there, and a horse and cart arrive. The other prisoner, Brighton, was driving. There were two large bundles, which appeared to be beds wrapped up in counterpanes, in the cart. He pierced the bed-ticks with a knife, and cut them open, and instead of feathers tea am out. Each bed consisted of two chests of tea, in all 3361b5., which he seized. He saw Pal frey hold up his hand when the cart came opposite to him. When he discovered the bed ticks contained tea he asked Brighton where he had brought it from, to which he replied, from the Plaistow-marshes, close to the Victoria Dock. He afterwards searched a house, No. 1, Nelson-street, Plaistow, where the female prisoner and her husband lived. The house smelt very strongly of tea, and he found a few ounces strewed about the floor of an upper room, where four chests of superior tea stolen from the Victoria Dock had been emptied and re-packed. Mr. Thomas Smith, examining officer of Customs, gave similar evidence ; and.added, when the horse and cart with the tea drove up into Back Church-lane, I said to Palfrey, who I saw waiting, " You are the party who is going to buy this tea ?" To which Palfrey said, " Where is Jones ?" I did not know who he was alluding to, and I said, " lle is round the corner." Palfrey made a determined - resistance, and called upon the roughs and thieves, who soon got about us, to rescue him. Hugh Andrews, a police-constable, No. 62 11, said--I saw the female prisoner seated on one of the " beds" in the cart last night. The cart stopped and she got out. The cart driven by Brighton then went on again. Directly afterwards I heard cries of police. I thought a watch rob bery had been committed, and went to the assistance of the Customhouse officers, who were struggling with Brigh ton and Palfrey, and assisted in taking them. Last night I went to Plaistow, and in a public house there found the woman Cousins, who has been cohabitating with the old man Brighton, and after a serious riot and fight, took her into custody. Other persons concerned in the robbery 1 ex pect to have in custody very shortly. Mr. Selfe first talked about adjourning the case until Saturday, and eventually remanded them until Thursday.

We are authorised to state that the Commissioners of Customs have been instructed to permit the free expor tation of the articles that were prohibited to be exported by the proclamations of the 30th of November and the 4th of December, 1861, until these proclamations shall have been formally rescinded. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAIL WAY.—The accounts for the past half year were yesterday submitted to the board, who decided upon recommending the payment of a dividend of 7 per cent. for the half year, making the dividend for the year 1861 amount to 6 per cent A report was brought up from the Works and Improve ments Committee, stating that, having reconsidered the memorial and letter from the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London, relative to the setting beck of the houses No. 70 and 71, Watling-street, they are not prepared to re commend a contribution towards the cost. A motion was made to the following effect :—" That so much of the report as relates to the improvement in Wat ling••street be approved." To this an amendment was pro posed, " That the Board do contribute the sum of £l,OOO towards the cost of the improvement in question." Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that, considering the crowded state of the city, and the difficulty there was for vehicles of all sorts to pass through such streets as Watling-street and those adjacent, they ought to be improved ; and it was the bounden duty of this board to contribute towards the cost of such an improvement, which it could not be denied would be of the greatest benefit. He said at the present time it was a thoroughfare—the mart of the city—through which it was impossible, and almost dangerous, to attempt to pass. He was velry much surprised, on receiving the report of the committee, to find that they had come to the conclusion of not recommending this Board to contribute towards this improvement, as it would increase the value of the property and relieve one of the greatest thoroughfares in the city. He hoped therefore that the Board would not let this matter be dropped, but that they would be unanimous in carrying the amendment. Mr. FREEMAN contended that there was no doubt this improvement would increase the value of the property; and no one could deny that Watling-street was of great value, but the idea of widening this street for a public thorough fare was entirely out of the question, Mr. MACDONALD believed that it was not at all just and fair that this board should be called upon to contribute towards the cost of an improvement in the city, and which did not at all come under the head of metropolitan im provements, but was merely for the benefit of the proprie tors of the large warehouses, who impeded the traffic by the customers they received for their goods. There was nothing in it of the character of a metropolitan improvement that ought to justify the board in contributing £l,OOO towards its cost, and he hoped therefore that the recommendation of the committee would be adopted. The recommendation of the committee was negatived, and the amendment was put as an original motion, and car ried by a majority of 16 to 14. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY STATION IN BLACKFRIARS-ROAD. Mr.VuLLIANrY, the superintending architect of the board, read the following report relative to the additional property required for station purposes by the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway :—" With regard to the proposed station arrangements of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway on the east side of the Blackfriars-road, near the bridge, to carry out which the necessary plans, &c., have been de posited by the company, I have to report that if the scheme be matured in accordance with the deposited plans, showing the boundary of the property proposed to be acquired for the purposes, the new street now being formed by this board from the High-street, Borough, to the Blackfriars-bridge road, will for the first 280 feet of its length, commencing at the Blackfriars-bridge-road, be enclosed in a tunnel, or be tween retaining walls on either side, or by some other such mode equally detrimental and fatal, in my opinion, to the new street in question, and 1 recommend that steps be taken to oppose the proposed schemes by all possible means in Parliament." The CHAIRMAN said that the proposal would convert the first portion of the street into a tunnel and materially affect the drainage. On the motion of Mr. Deputy HARRISON the report was referred to the Main Drainage Committee for consideration and report. WORKS AND IMPROVEMENTS. A further report was brought up from the Works and Improvements Committee, recommending that the Board ,!o contribute one-third f the cost of effecting a public im provement in Newgate-street, to be carried out by the Com missioners of Sewers of the City of London, by setting back the houses Nos. 76 and 77 in that street, as shown upon the plan produced to the committee, estimated at £4,424 13s 6d, such contribution not to exceed £1,474 17s 10d ; and that such amount be paid to the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London, on a certificate fr, m the architect of this Board of the completion of the work. That the Board do contribute the sum of £2OO towards the cost of effecting a public improvement in Fleet-street, to be carried out by the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London, by setting back the house No. 189 in that street, as shown on the plan produced to the committee, estimated at £789 9s 4d, and that such amount be paid to the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London, on a certificate from the architect of this Board of the completion of the work. The report also stated that they had reconsidered the sub jectof the re-erection of the King's Head public house, at the corner of the .Euston and Hampstead-roads, and, hav ing regard to the excessive price demanded by the owner, they were not prepared to recommend the Board to proceed with the negotiations, and expressing the regret of the com mittee that the Board have no power to act compulsorily with such cases. The report of the committee was carried unanimouslY , and the Board adjourned. Eloho and Danae were struck out of the Chester Cup the instant the weights appeared.

ROEBUCK, 21. P., ON POPULAR, ED UCA TION. SALISBURY, FRIDAY. Last evening Mr. J. A. Roebuck, M,P., delivered an address upon Popular Education, in the As;:etn hly-rooms of this city, to the members of the Salisbury Literary and Scientific Institution. In the course of his lecture the bon, member dwelt upon the absence of education among the working classes as producing a coarseness of taste and habits which was not innate, and which would be removed by the introduction of a more intelicctual course of RELEASE, OF MESSRS. ZACYLERIR AND ROGERS BY THE AMERICAN GOV.ERIVMENT. OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE. (From the Gazette of last evening.) FOREIGN OFFICE, JAN. 17. Copies of: correspondence 'with her Majesty's Minister in the United States. FROM LORD LYONS TO EARL RUSSELL. Dated Washington, December 31, 1861. (Received January 15, 1862). My Lord,—The Secretary of State of the United States has informed me that, having learned that Messrs. J. W. Zacherie and T. J. Rogers, American citizens, were taken from a vessel called the Eugenia Smith, under the British flag, and under circumstances similar to those involved in the case of Messrs. Mason and Slidell, and that they are now confined in Fort Lafayette, he has caused orders to be given for their discharge, and permission for them to returt to Norfolk, in Virginia, by way of Fortress Monroe.—l have, &c., (Signed) LYONS. EXTRACT OF A DESPATCH FROM LORD LYONS TO EARL RUSSELL. Dated Washington, December 31, 1861. (Received January 15, 1362.) I have the honour to enclose herewith to your lordship a copy of a note from Mr. Seward to the Secretary of the Navy, which has been communicated to me to-day by Mr Seward, referring to the fact of a British schooner, the James Campbell, captured for breach of blockade, having been brought into New York, with the British flag fly ing :under that of the United .states ; Mr. Seward con demns this act in the strongest terms ; the act was dis avowed with equal promptitude by the naval authorities of the United States, under whose notice it was brought. Enclosure in Lord Lyons' Despatch. Department of State, Washington, Dec. 31. 1861. To the Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy. Sir,—This department has received unofficial informa tion that the schooner Jamss Campbell, captured by the blockading squadron, was carried into New York with the British flag flying under that of the United States. This unseemly act must have been occasioned by a misappre hension of his duty by the officer who ordered or allowed it. I will, consequently, thank you to give such orders as may tend to prevent a repetition of the same,—l have, &c., (Signed) WILLIAM H. SEWARD. EXTRACT OF A DESPATCH FROM LORD LYONS TO EARL RUSSELL. Dated Washington, Dec. 31, 1861. I have the honour to enclose, herewith, to you a copy of a note from Mr. Seward to the Secretary of the Navy, which has been communicated to me to-day by Mr. Seward. It refers to the circumstances of an oath having been exacted as a condition of release, by the Commander of the United States steamer, from three British seamen, captured for breach of blockade. to the effect that they should undertake not to be employed in similar proceedings for the future. Your lordship will see that Mr. Seward strongly condemns this act, and release the seamen from the obligation taken by them. Enclosure in extract from Lord Lyons' Despatch of Dec. 31, 1861. Department of State, Washington, Dec. 31, 1861. To the lion. Gideon Welles. Sir,—This department has been informally apprized that Commander'Woodhall, of the United States steamer Connecticut, recently exacted as a condition of the release of members of the crew of the British schooner Adeline, captured for breach of the blockade, that they should enter into an engagement not to be employed in a similar pro ceeding in future. It occurs to this department that, as the requirement referred to is not warranted by public law, the commanders of blockading vessels should be in structed not to exact any similar condition for the release of persons found on board vessels charged with a breach of the blockade. It may be lawful to detain such persons as witnesses, when their testimony may be indispensable to the administration of justice; but when captured in a neu tral ship, they cannot be considered, and ought not to bb treated, as prisoners of war. Angus Smith, John Mooney, and John H. McHenry, the alleged British subjects above referred to, are consequently to be considered as absolved fr m the obligation represented to have been re quired of them by Commander Woodhall.—l have, &c., (Signed) WILLIAM H.

We understand that the steamer with the new cable for the repair and restoration of the eastern division between Aden and Kurrachee left London on the Ist of January ; that Mr. Latimer Clark, one of the company's engineers, proceeded with the staff by the mail of the 4th of January. It is stated that the attention of the engineers will be first directed to the land line belonging to the company between Alexandria, Cairo, and Suez, which will be at once made available, and a temporary station established about March next at the entrance of the Gulf of Suez, upon one of the islands of Shadwan or Jubal. qt which telegraphic messages to or from India, China, and Australia will be received and dis patched. This, a distance of 360 miles from Alex andria, shortening the time by about 36 hours to 40 hours, is an important step as securing certain priority of information to those who avail them selves of it, as by the recent completion of the Malta- Alexandria cable the communication will be per fected between all parts of England and the Jubal station in the Red Sea, to and from which the India, China, and Australia messages will be con veyed by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamers, under the sanction already obtained of her Majesty's Postmaster General, until further advances shall have been made in the repairs or re construction of the cable. It is therefore reeom m9nded that merchants and others who require to make use of the line should give their instructions in anticipation, that so soon as the notices of the completion of the Jubal station are issued, probably early in March, their correspondents may be aware of the advantages to be derived from it, and trans mit their communications accordingly. It is fur ther stated that the cost of a message between any part of England and any of the following places at which the company have agents will not exceed £3 for a single message—viz.: Aden, Bombay, Galle, Madras, Calcutta, Penang, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghae, King George's Sound, Melbourne, Syd ney, Mauritius, and Reunion. TILE PARANA STEAMSHIP. The island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, on which rumour assigns the loss of the Parana to have occurred, is most probably Anticosti. The Parana would reach that island about the Ist or 2d inst. The nearest point of telegraphic communication with the main land from Anticosti is Father Point, about 200 miles up the River St. Lawrence, and in immediate telegraphic communication with Quebec. The news, however, had not reached Quebec on the 4th instant, which is also the latest date from Halifax, Boston, and New York. It is strange that such news did not roach Father Point, and yet should have been known at Halifax, a much more distant spot on the coast of Nova Scotia. The City of Edinburgh steamer is hourly expected from New York. She was to leave that port on the 4th inst., and if she gets a telegram from Cape Race, she may bring news from Father Point up to the 7th inst. The Niagara will be due next Mon day. She was to leave Boston on the Bth inst., and she may bring news from Father Point up to the 11th inst. if she is met at Cape Race. Father Point is the north-eastern terminus of the Canadian tele graph line. This line will shortly be extended to Cape Rossire, at the mouth of the River St. Law rence, directly opposite the island of Anticosti. This extension will being us a day nearer Canada, as far as news is concerned. The Parana was com manded by Captain Sawyer, an experienced com mander in the Royal Mail Company's service. training in early life. Towards the close he ob served :—ln a speech of this sort I cannot pretend. to instruct the educators of the country, and there fore I have dealt in generalities. But there is still one thing I wish to apply myself to. I have en deavoured to point out what should be the end you should desire to attain. That end is to make the human being of a capacity to enjoy the circum stances by which he is surrounded. That capacity, I say, does not now exist. The poor labouring man of this country is a mere brute animal as com pared to what he might be. I use hard phrases, no doubt, but I use them for the purpose of con veying my meaning. What I want is to make the working man capable of enjoying the great blessings which nature affords, instead of seek ing oblivion, as he now does, in drink. Suppos ing that man to be endowed with the capacity for learning, let him take one of the inspired books which should be found on every man's table, and let him look out of his win dow, and he would see things which an uneducated man could not see. Do you think that the artist's eye is the eye merely of a painter—the man who can transfer to paper or canvas that which he has seen. Believe me it is no such thing. There is in the man's mind a capacity, a power of seeing beauty where you can see nothing but vacancy. He looks upon the fields and Fees their various colouring. He looks from one object to another, and delights in all the beauties which nature affords. But such is not the eye of the uneducated man. He passes through life with all these bright glories before him, and his eye is dim to all the magnificence which they afford. I want to give him the ca?acity to enjoy all the wonders of human nature in the glory of the human intellect, so that he should know and feel the difference between the animal that eats and sleeps, and eats again, and himself ; that he may know he has before him a monument and an example of what a grovelling disposition should be. I want him to feel that he is himself a part of that Godhead which has made the world ; that he can understand its beauties and its glories, and derive pleasures from every moment of his ex istence. (Cheers.) I dare say I have called you to gether to very little purpose, but if I have esta blished in your mind the importance of this proposi tion, that there should be no difference between the enjoyments of the poor and the rich, as regards the sources from which they flow, I have done all that I desired to do. Doyour utmost to extend the benefits of education to the classes in the position below you —for believe me when I say that ail education must come from above. He instructed the unin structed, and if you take the threefold character of instruction, the mind, the character, and the body, and above all things employ the mind, not as a mere monitor, but in its capacity of understanding, con ceiving for itself, you will have done your part in the sphere of life to benefit and instruct your coun trymen. (Cheers) I have obtained, what has been very common with me, a great deal of obloquy, by saying that I did not wish by education to hold out to the working classes an expectation or desire that they were to raise themselves from their condition. Why the masses of mankind must be a dead level. Perhaps there may be some curious case of a man raising himself from his condition. George Stephen son might become a millionaire, yet millions can be made happy. And that is the end and object I have in the education of the people. I shall be delighted to see any body of my countrymen raising them selves up and becoming, as they have become, the great rulers of the Empire. But the masses of the people must rest contented with the condition in which they ere, and my great desire is to see them happy in it. I say, contemplating England such ss it would be, with an educated leading and an educated working class, should we not then be a happy people ? Whereas, as we are now a glorious and a powerful England, we should then be a glorious, a powerful, and a happy England. (Loud cheers.) THE DOUBLE MURDER .I.lr ESSEX. CLAVERING, FRIDAY EVENING. Today the police authorities, who have been en gaged in the investigation of this somewhat remark able ease, have been put in possession of some very important and interesting information, which may, to some extent, explain the motive for the perpe tration of the crime. It appears beyond all question that before the unhappy woman now in custody consented to marry the murdered man, she had for a lengthened period been keeping company with his brother. The woman, however, seemed to be desirous of securing for herself the best position in her sphere of life, and discarded her first choice for his brother, the deceased, who had at the time various opportunities of earning a better living. Shortly before the mar riage took place, the deceased man was informed by the prisoner that she was in the family way, and he at once made the necessary arrangements for making her his wife. Almost immediately after their union, an estrangement on her part seemed to arise, which continued up to the period of her con finement, which occurred only a few weeks after the marriage ceremony had been performed. Soon after she was able to resume her domestio duties, the quarrels became more frequent, and on several occasions she was heard to taunt her husband with the statement that he was not the father of the child, and that she loved his brother much better than she did him. This seemed to irritate him very much, and he retaliated by treating her most un kindly. Whenever an opportunity presented itself, he absented himself from home until late hours of the night, returning very frequently in a stupid and besotted condition. As a rule, however, he did not drink sufficiently to render himself thoroughly intoxicated, but was generally quarrelsome and provoking. About two years after they were married the deceased seemed to have accepted the truth of his wife's taunts, and to have alienated his affections from the child. So far, indeed, did he carry his animosity, that on one occasion he held out the feet of the poor little creature to the fire and burnt them to a most dreadful degree. With this offence he was charged before the local magi strates, and was sentenced to nine months' impri sonment in Springfield Gaol, Chelmsford. From this period the wife seemed to become reckless, and after her husband's release from prison seemed to lose all attachment to her home, She apparently became resolved to follow her husband's steps whithersovever he went, and it is a well-ascer tained fact that they constantly visited the various district country fairs in company. It is also know n that on numerous occasions the child had been left n committed. r o u b r a d b e l r y b e has f o b u e en d absolutely tied in the cr adle, le ft alone for upwards of twelve hours in a s p ot t he most lonesome and desolate throughout All the can p robably murder c tris n t t i r time they led a most wret c h e d:li fe, and, indeed, w th h a e t re ca t up to a few months ago they were seldom upon good terms , As the period for the birth of the second child approached, the husband became more affec. tionate towards his 'wife, and this seemed to con tinue up to the end. The taunts, however, were afternever leaving entirely th foe h forgotten, ,anhdouitse on s is belieuvneddayth, a at violent quarrel took place between them, and it was more or less continued up to the night of the mur der. It has been ascertained that the man went upstairs to bed before his wife, and no doubt she waited until he was asleep before she commenced her murderous attack upon him. Generally it is believed that hatred of her husband and a still lin gering affection for another man induced her to de termine upon depriving him and his child of life. This afternoon the wretched woman was removed by Sergeant Flood to Springfield Gaol, Chelmsford, to await her trial at the ensuing Lent Assizes. THE COFFIN ROBBERIES AT FRESIIFORD.—Th prisoners, Edward Smith, builder ; W. Marchant, sexton; Henry Mastey, and Giles Broad, labourers, who are charged with being concerned in the desecration of the dead and robbery of coffins at Freshford Church, near Bath, were brought up, under remand, yesterday, before the ma gistrates acting for the western division of the county of Somerset. The court was again densely thronged, and the magistrates were engaged in the investigation for upwards of seven hours. Evidence was given of the burial of seve ral of the parties in leaden coffins, which have since dis appeared. The magistrates, after a private consultations determined upon committing the whole of the pris oners to tali() their trial at the next Somersetshire assizes ; but to accept substantial bail, except in the case of Marchant, for whom bail was refused.
