7HE ROUHE.R BANQUE7. A very magnificent entertainment was given last evening, at Willis's Rooms, St. James's, to M. Rouher, the French Minister of Commerce, which was attended by about 150 members of the House of Commons, amongst whom were Mr. Milner Gibson, Sir G. C. Lewis, Mr. Cobden, Baron L. Rothschild, Lord Henry Lennox, Mr. Liddell, Sir David Dundas, Alderman Salomons, Sir Robert Clifton, Mr. J. C. Ewart, &c. Mr. Milner Gibson presided, and on his right was the guest of the evening, M. Rouher ; and on his left, M. Michel Chevalier and M. Dufour. A sumptuous entertainment was placed upon the table, and the -wines were of the most recherche and costly kind, a different wine being served with every course. At the head of the bin of fare the following intimation appeared—" It is hoped that the order laid down may be adhered to, and each dish partaken of with its particular an d vegetable." The wines th a t were wine, fruit, successively served with each course were Cham- ;agne, Rudesheimer, Moselle, Sauterne, Claret, Hermitage, Romanee, Chateau Yquem, Tokay, and Vin de Constance. At the dessert the Chairman proposed •' The Queen, coupled with the name of the Prince of Wales_ He then proposed "The Emperor of the French," and in doing so said that for nearly half century the relations between England and France had been, on the whole, of the most friendly de scription, but at no period during that time had those relations been in a more satisfactory condi- tion than at the present moment. The monarch who ruled over France was animated by the most friendly sentiments to this country. The animosi- ties which prevailed at a former epoch had been softened and subdued by the lapse of time and the enlightened policy of giving greater freedom to commercial intercourse between France and Eng- land proposed by the Emperor of the French, and promptly and joyfully acceded to by the Govern ment of the Queen, must tend to draw still closer those ties of amity which bound the two nations together. He proposed to them to drink with cor diality to " The Health and Long Life to the Em peror of the French." (Loud cheers.) The toast having been duly , honoured, The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Health of our Distinguished Guest." (Great cheering.) They I were assembled to do him honour and to give him a hearty welcome. Perhaps there was no instance in our history in which a large number of mem bers of Parliament had invited to a banquet a Minister of State of a Foreign Govern ment. This fact was significant of some thing. We were a nation above all others re markable for being the slaves of precedent, and when we stepped out of the beaten track we meant by that to signify something unusual. They desired on that occasion to express their approval of the commercial treaty between France and Eng land, and to express the strong feelings which they entertained of the importance it was to the happi ness of the people of both countries that the two peoples should be bound by the ties of amity— (cheers) —and they wished also to express their recognition of the services which M. Rouher had rendered to the cause—the great cause—of com mercial freedom. (Cheers.) It was he who had carried out in Paris the details of the treaty, and had effected those supplementary conventions which were within the spirit of the original agreement. He had had to encounter the jealousies and pre judices of interested persons, but spite of them the treaty had been a great success—and in the next returns of the Board of Trade it would be seen that there were only two countries standing higher with regard to our exports than France. He concluded by proposing M. Rouher, and the toast was received with great enthusiasm. M. ROuHER spoke in French, and was received with prolonged cheering. He said,—Never before have I so keenly regretted as I now do my ignor ance of the English language, for community of ideas, impressions, and sentiments is never complete unless they are conveyed in the same language. I wish I could exprcaa to you in your own tongue the emotion and the gratitude I feel at the signal honour done to me this day by the representatives of that House of Commons whose debates may be said to occupy the minds of the whole world. It is not without a kind of astonishment that I find my self in the midst of so many statesmen, practised veterans in public affairs, renowned for their great oratorical conflicts and the eminent services they have rendered to their country, and whose praises rush to my grateful lips. (Loud cheers.) A just ap praisement of myself counselled me to decline this testimony of sympathy, but this important occasion was designed to pay homage to the great principle of civilisation which dictated the treaty of com merce of 1860. (Great cheering.) My scruples were overcome, and my presence amongst you was the fulfilment of a duty. This act will occupy an important place in the history of the two nations. (Cheers.) Permit me briefly to recount the ob stacles which opposed its negotiation, and the motives which determined its realisation, the results obtained up to this day, and the legitimate hopes to which its execution must give rise. In doing so I shall at the same time be able to reduce to its modest proportions my participation in this inter national work. (Loud cheers.) Commercial liberty had eloquent defenders in France in the eighteenth century. The barbarous theories of isolation, those barriers against the intercourse of nations, were victoriously attacked. (Cheers.) A great Minister, Turgot, made his convictions triumph is the eco nomic acts of the Government. The treaty of 1786, the existence of which was so short, and yet so calumniated, was inspired by those liberal tenden cies. The commercial legislation of 1792 drew most of its resolutions from the same source ; the de crees which soon repudiated those measures of pro gress did not pretend to create a new system. They were weapons of war forged for those gigantic con flicts Which marked the end of the last and the be ginning of the present century. (Cheers.) Why were the traditions of Turgot neglected after the return of peace. ' w hy was the road deserted that bad already be en opened , and the science of the wealth c i r culation of lavished to fall again into obli vion after the light : on it by the genius of (cheer s Adam Smith? ) Did the backward legisla tion of other nations ex , rt , Is e I cannot an unhappy influence over ours ? tell. To my thinking rile co mmercial l aws o f the Restoration were determined by considerations of political economy, Th a t governmen t was tormented by the id ea , no t devoid of prest i g e, of reconstituti ng the territo rial aristocracy wh ich had b e en crushed by the Te fictitious h elevation. of French revolution. the price of all the product s of the soil, that fla grant violation of the rights of the mass of the People, that direct cause of general impoverishment, „. poured to it a precious elemen t of success. Excry_ bitant duties were imposed on the importation o f cereals and of all articles of food. French industry ought to have protested, but it preferred to obtain as the price of its adhesion the blind maintenance of all those prohibitions which prevented the im portation of man ufac t ured prod uc e. (Cheers.) The government of July manifested at intervals some tendencies towards enfranchisement, but the bur den was too heavy to lift. Its timid efforts were destined to remain without effect. The political and electoral organisation of the country placed power in the hands of those who were directly in terested in the restrictive system. Hence for many years, thanks to the co-operation or the weakness of government, to the coalition of the adroit, and to the credulity and indifference of almost the whole public, prohibitionist ViCWS had become sovereign, and exercised that:power with that in tolerance h whle . is the attribute of an illegitimate authority. (Cheers.) If any ray of light pierced those artificia l _ combinations it was extinguished with as mud,. e ing a confilgya a tigoe nrness as is s hown in extinguish - If an economist of matured conv ictions had th e courage to raise his voice he was attacked with Ut o pian or a t raito r; be_ want He was but a indignation, ed to sacrifice the in dustry of the country to the uht— y of England. (Cheers,) To these economic prejudi ces and ter rors, often sincerely entertained, and an* •re superadded th ose political pas sions unouti a , which u•n- , prudent minds can so easily excite between two powerful nations, ea ch of which is justly proud of itself. (Cheers.) How were such obstacles to be ,4" .. ~__~:~ .'~s~ f~ e----~ encountered, obstacles accumulated by selfish in- ' terests, but consolidated by time and general indif ference. What reason was there not to dread the un popularity that would attend that courageous reaction against inveterate errors ? How eagerly would hostile Minorities misreprese t the piojects of the French Government, accuse it of weakness and calumniate its honest intentions. I am not afraid, therefore, to confess that when Mr. Cobden, supported by the powerful aid of my hon. friend M. Michel Chevalier—(cheers)—laid before my Sove reign the expression of his profound convictions and his vast experience he appeared to be under taking the defence of a desperate cause. The par tisans of prohibition, intoxicated by some secondary successes, had adroitly taken possession of the avenues of authority, and believed the citadel im- pregnable. But this was to confess a doubt of the superior views of the great man to whom the des- tinies of France are confided and of the cause of truth. Now the eminent member for Rochdale had learned is the long conflicts which have distin- guished him that truth, like prayer, if it sometimes marches slowly, yet never fails to arrive at the goal. The Sovereign who, in his period of solitary prepa ration for the high mission which he fulfils to-day had been an attentive witness of your economic re volution, and of the development of prosperity and greatness which had been its fruit, knew all the fecundity of that great law of exchanges which Sully, in his conversations with his King, called a law of Providence. The Emperor had meditated on those salutary doctrines of competition which for the good of all, and especially of the least favoured parties, kindles courage, exalts the faculties, in creases to a tenfold degree the effective powers, and summons at need genius in its aid—he called to mind those noble words pronounced by one of your great statesmen, Sir R. Peel, " I hope that my name will one day be blessed in the poor man's cottage." And so he disdained that ephemeral authority with which priviliged classes surround thrones, that he might await that popularity which time developes and which posterity consecrates. (Reiterated cheers.) Uninfluenced by any other considerations than those of public good, he did not hesitate to take upon himself the direct personal responsibility of that reform which had cost the statesmen of Great Britain ten years of toil and conflict, and in doing so he justly estimated his own strength and the affection of his people ; for, after a moment of astonishment and uneasiness, the phalanxes of French industry began to range them selves with confidence under the new flag he raised. (Cheers.) As for the puerile charge of weak sub servience to a foreign nation, he well knew that all —and you, gentlemen, before all others—would see in this treaty only a pledge loyally given to an alliance necessary for the peace of the world — (loud cheers)—a fresh guarantee offered to civilisa tion. (Renewed cheers.) Such were the obstacles, such were the motives, which caused the signature of France to be affixed to the commercial treaty of 1860. That treaty had to encounter stubborn ad- versaries in the House of Commons, but placed under the high protection of Mr. Cobden, defended by the incontestable experience of the honourable president of this banquet, sustained by the engaging eloquence and powerful reasoning of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it was approved by Parliament. (Cheers.) If I am not mistaken, it now meets among you with nothing but unanimous adhesion, since this entertainment is offered to me by the rspresentatives of all political shades. And now, if I have not wearied out your kind attention, allow me to mention some of the results obtained by the treaty in France. The first, which I name with sincere delight, and with a pride for my country which you will pardon, is, in spite of some bitter recriminations, the resolute and courageous attitude of French industry on the morrow after the facts were accomplished. Dazzled for a moment by those new and unexpected horizons, our indus trial population soon regarded them with calmness and serenity ; casting aside antiquated processes and material, they have demanded from mechanic art its most perfect machines, from science its most novel applications and boldest methods. They have flung themselves into the conflict with confidence and vigour, inspired by that profound idea of Roger Bacon—" The youngest are the oldest, they profit by the experience of their predecessors." What a grand and noble spectacle is that of the application of all the living forces, all the intellectual faculties of man to those fruitful struggles which issue in public wealth and prosperity. (Cheers.) And what more striking proof can there be of the benefits flowing from the treaty of commerce. Without it would not those activities, that productive power which are destined rapidly to increase the well- being of the nations, would they not have remained inert and dormant like those precious sources, ne glected or unperceived, which flow unproductively into subterraneous lakes, This transformation of the economic ideas of French industry has just re ceived its ratification. Your august Sovereign, plunged in sorrow by the premature loss of a Prince not less eminent for his high capacity than for his illustrious rank, and inconsolable, notwithstanding the pious sympathy tendered to her by Great Britain and Europe, was pleased, almost as a hom age to him who was no more, to open the great arena of the Exhibition to the industry of the world. Disdaining the policy of abstention recommended to some by precept and example, our manufacturers flocked to it with eagerness, and have made their rivals judges of their efforts and their progress. Certainly they have admired the successes obtained by English industry under the incentive of liberty, but with feelings of noble emulation, not of narrow jealousy—(cheers)—and with that religious convic tion which God everywhere reserves for the activity and labour of his least favoured children. (Great cheers_) The second result which I have to state is, that in spite of the recent date of our commer cial reports there has been a reciprocal and profit able development of exchanges between the two countries—a development which has mitigated the painful perturbations caused by the world's com merce by that fratricidal conflict which is raging beyond the Atlantic. Gentlemen, I have not yet sufficiently indicated the most striking feature of the convention of 1860. That act was not merely a commercial regulation between two countries. It was the proclamation in the name of two great na tions of the principles of free trade—(great cheer ing)—of which you have been the leaders, and which are destined to penetrate all legislations and to stimulate the activity of all peoples. Already the public authorities in France, following the ini tiative of the chief of the state, have broken through our old legislation on cereals and raw materials. France yesterday signed treaties of commerce with Belgium and the Zollverein. (Cheers.) To-morrow she will sign that which she is negotiating with Italy. (Immense cheering.) The banner of econo mic reform will thus continue its triumphal march. Those exchanges which we see growing in extent, those relations multiplying in number, those inte riaesettitt are becoming intermingled and mutually the',, the wealth that is increasing among na tions,its inevitable augmented welfare of the masses which is 1 esteem vehicle day renders of political (cheers) are not all thee: thin cheers.) eer swithout.) convulsion,Ab s con .

(Loud and long contin ued cheering.) Mr. COBDEN said the prcsidrnt had called upon him to reply to the toast with which M. Rouher had concluded. He had the honour and pleasure of acting with M. liouher fol. a whole twelv emonth in arranging the details of tae treaty, and he should not be doing justice to 'colleague, • 7 • not take this first o pportunity in in conv i c tions if he public, and the ins own , dld p r esence ofihis late gue, M. Rouher, o f bearing his testimony to the great services M. Rouher 'had rendered to 'the , cause of commercial freedom. Until this moment there had not been an oppor tunity of M, Rouher speaking to Europe and the LONDON ~ D AY EVENING, JULY 17, 1862. THE f:SITN, , Tiiti f., world on the question of the treaty and the subject of free trade in general, and there never had been an opportunity of doing justice to his eminent ser vices in that case. He had taken a more enlightened view of the interests of France than most of his countrymen had hitherto done. M. Rouher had spoken of the Emperor as having originated the treaty, and he (Mr. Cobden) could bear witness to the fact that the Emperor initiated the treaty, and he believed that the Emperor had the sincerest desire to unite not merely the governments, bat the people of the two countries. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Cobden) had had better opportunities perhaps of observing than most Englishmen, and he was con vinced that the Emperor in all his acts had been actuated by a desire to unite these two great nations. That, indeed, had been the corner stone of his policy. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Cobden) would go further, and express his belief, founded also upon some opportunity of judging, that there was nothing that he could im a g ine that would induce that potentate to be a party to a rupture with this country short of an attempt by any Government or any minister of this country to inflict a humiliation on his country. (Cheers.) Their guest of that evening had done a great work, which would live in history, and he had done it under a more powerful sovereign than Louis XVI. If the aristocracy of France had eighty years ago allowed Turgot, as he desired, to do the same thing, there would probably have been no revolution, and the dynasty of that day would have remained to this. Unfortunately, the inauguration of free trade in France had been attended by deplorable convulsions, with regard to the manufacturing interests, arising from causes entirely unconnected with free trade ; and the opponents of free trade would no doubt at tempt to fasten those effects upon the commercial treaty. The great reforms of Mr. Huskisson in 1825 were followed by a commercial crisis, and the Spital fields weavers of those days, if they could have had their will, would probably have hung Mr. Huskis son as an example. His memory was now honoured throughout the land, and the manufacturers of France would yet do justice to the guest of that even ing. They were that evening celebrating the cause of free trade. The refrain of one of Beranger's songs advocating the alliance of nations was " Don nez-vous les mains." Free trade said " Shake hands ; give each other the hand and something in the hand." (Cheers.) That something meant the superfluity of the giver and the necessity of the receiver. (Cheers.) Such a meeting as the present had never been held before, and he had never sat down with so many Members of Parliament at such a meeting, and he had never yet sat down with Members of Parliament of a different varty from his own. He saw in that reunion a proof of the universality of the senti ments to which they had been listening on that occasion. They were doing honour to a man whose merits were not sufficiently known ; but under their auspices their guest had had an opportunity of de livering a speech which would be circulated through Earope and the world. Sir G. C. LEWIS proposed " The Health of M. Chevalier and M. Dufour," and in doing so said there never was a time when the prospects of peace were so solid as now. He believed that the Emperor of the French entertained the most cordial and ear nest desire to maintain pacific relations with this country. (Cheers.) Several other toasts and speeches followed, and the company did not separate until a late hour. '—ilenge from , --,A dent that he would not accept any ewe._ " him." Respondent beat the servant's flee_ against the ground. He was moaning and walking about the room all night. Petitioner could get no sleep from that time till she left. He dragged her bed into the middle of the room, and threatened to shoot her. There were no servants as they went home at night. Petitioner left her husband on the 22d February. Captain Arthur Lowe, a cousin of her mother's, had been sent by her father to take her away. Petitioner was very ill at the time. She was in a weak and nervous state. A child was born on the sth August, Cross-examined by Sir F. Slade—Petitioner did not believe the rumours. Capt. Lowe came because her father was ill. Sir F. Slade—This was a love match; was it not? Witness—l believe I married as most other p e ople do. Sir F. Slade—Did you not live upon him ? Witness—No ; my mamma received some money from Cardinal Antonelli. My mamma never re ceived any money from respondent. The respondent was moving in good society, possessing means, hav ing money, and in every way as a baron and noble man. 1 1 Sir C. Cresswell—Supposed to be so. Witness—Mamma received a thousand scudi (£220) from Cardinal Antonelli. M. Zychlinski was very kind to mamma, who was in Rome with out money. Zychlinski pretended to lend the money, but it was really given by Cardinal Ante nelli. Mamma was a convert to Roman Catholicism. Zychiinski was employed in procuring the money, because papa would not repay Cardinal Antonelli. It was made to appear that Zychlinski lent the money. It was agreed that Zychlinski should go to England, to papa, and represent that he had paid £4OO for her. Did not recollect that the respondent ever said he did not marry the mother and sister, and that he would not keep them. The respon dent represented himself, when I became ac quainted with him, as a Russian baron. He said he was acquainted with several distinguished people, and that the Princess of Galitzin, wife of the Rus sian ambassador at Madrid, was his cousin. After the separation the petitioner applied to Baron Mar tin for a writ of habeas corpus, which was granted, and he was very anxious to get his wife back again. Mary F. Maltby, sister of the petitioner, corro borated the above statement. She further stated that several Russian friends had stated that the re spondent was not a Russian baron, and the papers which he was sent to Marseilles to procure were vouchers from his ambassador as to his respectabi lity, but he returned without them. Lord Henry Kerr told Mrs. Maltby that the respondent was not what he represented himself. M. Pallatin, a Rus sian gentleman, also reported that he was not a baron of the Russian empire, but a deserter from the Prussian army. She also remembered his having written 11 challenges. Sir F. Slade—Then he had plenty of people to shoot. Sir C. Cresswell—No, Sir Frederick ; they would not be shot. (Laughter.) SirF. Slade—Was it when he ceased to be a baron that you ceased to call him mon cher Louis ? Witness—Not for that particularly. Had he re mained amiable— Sir C. Cresswell—Having discovered the wolf, as long as the wolf remained quiet— , Sir F. Slade—Or retained his sheep's clothing. Capt. Arthur Lowe said he received a letter and subsequently a telegram, requesting him to take Mrs. Zychlinski away from her husband's cruelty. Cross-examined by Sir F. Slade—lt was one of the charges against the respondent that he was an impostor. Witness did not go to the respondent, because it would have been useless. The French authorities were not applied to, because the con sul represented that several things had happened to English residents which were treated in such a manner that the consul recommended the wife to be removed. Lord Kerr also advised the proceeding. The respondent followed his wife to witness's house, at Nottingham, where his wife was. Witness gave the respondent in charge of the police for threats. Mrs. James said she kept lodgings in Talbot street, Nottingham. Respondent brought a lady there other than his wife. She noticed on several occasions the impression of two persons in the bed. The respondent had had a bad throat, which wit ness poulticed with linseed, a portion of which was afterwards found in the lady's bed. This person's linen was marked "Adeline Baroness Zychlinski." She also left behind a pair of boots, which hed in side the name of '° Maltby." The petitioner was not the person who resided with Zychlinski. Heard the respondent say that he was charged with ob taining money under false pretences, or something to that effect. Mary Arne James, daughter of the last witness, proved having heard the respondent go into the bed-room of the woman who came to him at her mother's house and remain there. This concluded the case for the petitioner. Mr. Macaulay addressed the jury. He contended that the case was clear, and lest it should be said that he was afraid to put Mrs. Maltby in the box, he would simply state that he did not desire she should be tortured in cross-examination. She had acted perhaps unwisely, and had been grossly de ceived, but that was all that could be said. Sir Frederick Slade said she was the only person who could tell the jury the relations which subsisted between these people, and the circumstances under which the money was obtained from Cardinal An tonelli, or whether the respondent had obtained it for the lady. He sympathised with the young lady, but the jury had to discharge a public duty and do justice between the parties. He could not deny the adultery, but he would deny that any cruelty had been committed. His Lordship said that a great deal was made of the mother of the petitioner not being called. But why was not the respondent called to give evidence ? He was equally able to speak to these matters, and he had an obvious interest in the issue. Lord Stowell had said it was not easy to define what was cruelty. It was to be constructed out of all the circumstances surrounding each particular case. The Jury having deliberated, found that the re spondent had been guilty of cruelty and adultery. Sir C. Cresswell granted the decree, and the costs of the suit as against the respondent followed as a matter of course in cases of judicial separation. if they had any doubt the high character the defen dant had received. 7 ,eught certainly to have consi 'oe weight. derae e __ ur qfter deliberating a short time, re y Th j, euilt turned a verdict of noi, „, 'V. Brown, 25, pleaded gue. ty to three charges of arson. It appeared that the prisoner on !lame all and within a very short period, had committe;.` the offences to which he had pleaded guilty. In the first place, he set fire to a barn in which there was a quantity of wheat ; he then set fire to a stack of straw, and afterwards to a stack of hay, the whole of which were destroyed. Mr. Baron Bramwell, in passing sentence, said he was of opinion that no crime was more hateful or detestable than the crime of arson. ID ordinary offences the person who committed them had some advantage, because he obtained possession of the money or property of another ; but when property was destroyed wilfully by fire it was of no benefit to the person committing the act, but was an injury 'to mankind at large. It appeared by a report that I had been made to him, that the prisoner had several times enlisted as a soldier and that he deserted, and then re-enlisted and obtained the bounty, and he appeared to be an incorrigibly bad fellow. On the present occasion he appeared to have committed the crime of arson three times in one day, and it also appeared that he stated when he was apprehended that he should have done more mischief of the same description if his lucifer matches had not gone out. It was necessary under these circumstances to pass a sentence that would prevent him from doing any more mischief for a long time to come, and he should therefore order him to be kept in penal servitude for 20 years. Simon Child, a little urchin, stated in the calendar to be 11 years old, was charged with feloniously placing some stones upon the London and North- Western Railway, with intent to obstruct the en gines and carriages passing along the line, and to endanger the safety of the passengers. Mr. Clark prosecuted, and the prisoner was de fended by Mr. Codd. It appeared that on the evening of May 27th the down train to St. Albans, upon arriving near Wat ford, ran over two stones that were placed upon the rails, and the driver giving information of the cir cumstance upon arriving at the Watford station, the signalman at the spot was directed to keep a strict watch. He did so, and on the following day the primoner and two other boys were seen to go up the line, and the prisoner was observed to stoop and place something upon the rails, and it turned out that two stones were placed there. It also appeared that at the time the engine ran over the stones on the previous evening a search was made, and it was discovered that atones of a similar kind had been placed upon both the up lines of rails. When the prisoner was apprehended it appeared that he denied having placed the stones upon the rails, and said that one of the other boys had done it. Mr. Codd made an earnest appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and, while admitting the act imputed to him was one very likely to be at tended with the most serious consequences, and which meritedsevere punishment when it was clearly established, he submitted that in the first place it had not been proved beyond doubt that the prisoner placed the stones upon the railway ; and, secondly, that, supposing the jury should consider that this fact was proved, there was nothing to show that he did so with any of the intents charged in the indict. ment. He then called the attention of the jury to the law regarding offences committed by persons of tender age, and said that in the case of any one under 14 years of age they were not responsible for en offence of this description, or any other, unless it was shown they were aware of the probable conse quences of their acts, and were at the same time ac tuated by a malicious intention to do mischief. Mr. Baron Bramwell, in summing up, said he did not think there could be any doubt that the prisoner did place the stones upon the railway, but the next important question was, to consider with what intent the prisoner had so placed them. In the case of a grown-up person the law considered him re sponsible for the probable consequences of his acts, but this was not so in the case of a child under 14 years of age. In the present case therefore, if they should be of opinion that the prisoner was merely actuated by a feeling of mischief, or to see the effect of a train going over the stones, that would not be sufficient ; it was absolutely necessary that they should be satisfied that he was actuated by one of the intents imputed by the indictment before they could convict him. The jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Baron Bramwell told the prisoner that, although he had escaped upon the present charge, he was still liable to be proceeded against under another section of the act of Parliament. He might have caused serious mischief and loss of life or broken limb by his act, and he hoped that he would be punished. The criminal business was brought to a close in the afternoon, and both courts will be engaged to day in trying causes. LA TV INTELLIGENCE.-July 16. COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) REDDIN V. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. This was an appeal from a decision of Vice- Chancellor Wood. The plaintiff was a contractor for the removal of dust and rubbish, which he afterwards prepared for brickmaking, and also for agricultural purposes. His business was carried on at the Grove, South wark, in certain premises, including a dwelling house, engine -house, " tot shop," or sorting room, slop shoot, and an extensive yard, occupied by dust and manure heaps, which were subjected to various successive processes before being rendered available. The defendants had given the plaintiff notice of their requiring a small portion of the premises, viz., the " tot shop," for the purposes of the Covent garden Approach and Southwark and Westminster Communication Act, 1857, by which a new street from Blackfriars-road to High-street, Borough, was one of the works required to be made. The plaintiff refused to sell the portion required by defendants, on the ground that the whole of the premises in his occupation, and used by him for his business, consti tuted " a manufactory" within section 92 of the Lands Clauses Act, and claimed the right, under that section, of compelling the defendants to take the whole property if they required any part of it. It was contended by the plaintiff that the " tot shop," or sorting shop, was essential to the carrying on of the plaintiff's business, the most important process of sifting and sorting being carried on there. The question was whether this part of the premises came within the meaning of the word " manufac tory." The Vice Chancellor held that it did, and made an order for an injunction to restrain the de fendants from taking any steps for acquiring the premises except on the terms of taking the whole. Hence the appeal. Mr. Rolt, Mr.Willcock, and Mr. C. Hall appeared for the appellants ; Sir Hugh Cairns, Mr. Giffard, and Mr. E. Bury were for the plaintiff. The Lord Chancellor, without hearing the reply, said he did not concur in the opinion of the Vice Chancellor, that the business carried on by the plaintiff constituted him a manufacturer within the meaning of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act. Such being the case, the " tot shop" was not part of a " manufactory,' the taking of which by defendants would render them liable to take the whole of the plaintiff's premises. The plaintiff was a dustman, contractor, and scavenger, and the use of the " tot shop" was incident to that business, and did not in any way form portion of a " manufactory." The order of the Court below would therefore be reversed and the injuuci ion dissolved. Appeal allowed. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell.) ZYCHLINSKI V. ZYCHLINSKI-EXTRAORDINARY CASE. This was a suit for judicial separation brought by the wife against her husband on the grounds of cruelty and adultery. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks were coun sel for the petitioner; Sir F. Slade and Dr. Swabey appeared on behalf of the respondent. The learned counsel, in opening the case, said that this suit was surrounded with peculiar features, which are detailed in the following evidence : Adeline Kate Zychlinski stated that she was the daughter of a clergyman of the Church of England, residing with her mother, who was separated from her husband, as was intimated, because of the lady havinr , some years since become a convert to Roman Catholicism. In the year 1860 the mother of the petitioner, with her two daughters, were re siding at Rome, where the respondent was also living in style, moving in the best society. He de scribed himself as a baron of the Russian empire and the relative of a Russian ambassador. The peti tioner made his acquaintance, and after a short courtship they were married. They proceeded to Hyeres, in the south of France, where they resided at first very happily ; but rumours got abroad that he was not a baron, that ho was not even a Rus sian, but that he was a Prussian, a private in a Prus sian regiment, and a deserter, being, in point of fact, an impostor. Petitioner's mother was about to give a party, to which some Russian friends were invited. The respondent objected, he flew into a passion. He went to Marseilles upon the pretence of getting credentials to respectability, but he did not bring them. When the petitioner told him of the rumours that he was not a baron, but a deserter from the Prussian army, he threw a brush at her and threatened to shoot her ; and on one occasion, during a ride on horseback upon the ledge of a frightful precipice, he said he would hurl himself and her down it, because he said " he knew she be • stated, lieved the rumours circulated about him." She was reduced to a very low and nervous state in conse quencethreatene of his repeated threats. The petitioner had 1;300 for her trousseau ; but the respondent charged her father with being dishonourable. They were married according to the rites of the Roman asked witness Catholic church, to which the mother, as already Sotn and her two daughters had become convert:'. e daps after the ride on horseback, when he He then very a, dto hurl her clown the precipice, he was He drew lip a kind of separation and and took her to sign it.

George Farr Arnold surrendered to take his trial, for wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. G. Denman, Q.C., was specially retained. with Mr. Willoughby, to conduct the prosecution ; Mr. Serjeant Parry, also specially retained, and and Mr. Woollett, appeared for the defendant. This case stood over from the spring assizes, and it created some interest, not only from the nature of the charge, which was rather a peculiar one, I but from the position of the defendant, who carries on an extensive business as a builder at St. Albans, and who is one of the town councillors. The alleged perjury was contained in what is called in legal parlance an affidavit of increase—an instrument which it is necessary to execute in order that the the successful party in an action at law may re cover his costs from his opponent. It appeared that last year a person named Proctor, who was the prosecutor of the present indictment, brought an action against the defendant in the present Court of Queen's Bench, and upon the trial the latter obtained a verdict, and in due course the defendant scught to obtain his costs, and he made the affidavit in question before Mr. Annesley, the commissioner appointed for that purpose at St. Albans. The total amount of the bill of costs was £3B I€s. ; and among the items the defend ant alleged ',h a t h e h a d paid 15s. to three witnesses named Perki ns , Beau, and Wright, and 225. to two other vitnesses, and also a sum of £3 16s. for railway fares, cab hire, and refreshment for e w i t t h n e e s s a ef affidavit d ; avit whereas w aa i m t a d t u e r n h e e d hoaudt onlyt at t a h t e th s e am tim e given them a few shillings. It appeared, however, that the affdavit was a joint one by the defendant himself and his solicitor ; and Mr. Annesley stated that at the time he swore to it the defendant did not read the contents, and that he said he saw it was signed by his solicitor, and he supposed it was all right. It also appeared that the sums mentioned in the affidavit were subsequently paid to the seve ral witnesses. Mr. Sergeant Parry made a very able address to the jury oil behalf of the defendant, and he urged that, although he might have acted carelessly in swearing to the affidavit without reading it, still this was al that could be fairly alleged against him. He submitted that it was extremely improbable that a person is the respectable position of the defendant should have been guilty of so serious a crime in order to obtain a paltry sum of a few pounds, and that there could he very little doubt that seeing the instrument was eirned by his attorney, he thought it was a matter of course that he should also have to sign it, sad did so without intending to do any wrong. A great many respectable witnesses were called to speak to the defendant's character, and they all described him to be a man of the highest honour and integrity. Mr. Barn Bramwell, in summing up, said it was very important that affidavits of this kind should be correct, and he could not subscribe to the doc trine that a man did not commit perjury because he professei to be unacquainted with the contents of the instrument to the truth of which he was sworn. Tte jury would, bowever, take all the cir cumstances of the case into their consideration, and POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-July 16. MANSION-HOUSE.—A young man who gave a name known to be feigned, and refused his ad dress, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with robbery. Complainant, a widow lady named Locke, was walking on Ludgate-hill on Tuesday afternoon, about three o'clock, when it was much thronged. She passed the prisoner, who stood on the edge of the kerb with a bouquet of flowers in one hand. Without knowing .it, he was then being watched by Edward Hancock, a city detective officer, from the opposite side of the street. The prisoner turned round and walked on the right side of the com plainant after she had passed him. He then put his left hand into her dress-pocket, and withdraw ing it clinched thrust it into a pocket of his trou sers. On seeing this Hancock, who had crossed the street and was following the prisoner, threw his arms round him and carried him pinioLed into a shop. There the prisoner made a desperate but useless effort to escape, and in the struggle he dropped a purse, which, with the money it con tained, the complainant afterwards identified as be longing to her. A few days before the same con stable, who had seen a lady dogged for some distance by two known thieves, and felt sure that they had robbed her, asked her before attempting to take them into custody if she had lost anything. She replied curtly that she had not, apparently re garding the question as a liberty. He was obliged reluctantly to forego apprehending the two men. Presently the lady, in a state of great excitement, returned and told him her purse had been stolen ; but the men whom he had suspected had then dis appeared. The prisoner made no defence< H a ns, a detective officer, said he had seen the prisoner in custody for a high way robbery in Mary lebone-lane about two years ago. The prisoner challenged him to prove that, say ing people like him would think nothing of swear ing a man's life away. He added that he had been seen that morning by several constables, not one of whom knew him, though they had evidently come with a view to his recognition. Finding he was about to be sent before a jury, he pleaded " Guilty," saying it was his first offence, and asked to be dealt with summarily. The Lord Mayor committed him to Newgate for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. —George Fortescue, aged 42, residing at No. 21, Pendegrast-villas, Stoke Newington, was charged with cutting and wound ing, with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Herbert Leeham, a quiet-spoken boy, about 12 years of age, said—Last evening I was passing along B ridport-pls ce, New North-road, alone, when this gentleman, whom I n ever saw before, came behind me. I felt a sharp cut on the back of iny neck, and then I saw him put a knife into his coat pocket. I bled a go . od deal. Evidence was given that the defendant shortly after the injury had been inflicted had been found in a public-house intoxicated. The sharp-point e d p e nknife produced was seen to d rop from his coat pocket. A certificate from a divisionals superfi cial of police state d that the wound Was up three inches in length. It had been and about som e sharp instrument, such as been caused by a penknife. Th e defendant declared that the injury was oc casioned by him with a key, and not a knife. He recollected nothing of the assault. A friend of th e defend ant said that when the latter was inebriated he w ling his action s . as incapable of control- Mr. Cooke declared that he had not the slightest doubt of the injury having been inflicted with a knife. The defendant was ordered to pay a fine of I:5, half of which would be given to the lad. P , LERK FAN WF. —John Burns, aged 35, who de:cpribed himself as an author and a public lec turer, having no home, wa s charged with attempt ing to commit suicide. Policeeonstablc Lillicrap,. 4o9 A, said that about eleven o'clock on Tuesday night he was on duty in Copeh agen - street, Islington , i where he saw th e pri soner lying on a doorstep n the act of taking a bottle from his mouth. He spoke to him, and receiving no answer , endeavoured to lift him up. At this time his legs were rigid, his eyes were protruding, and he seemed on the p o i n t o f death. With assistance the Witness got him up, and then found under him portions of two bottles which had contained laudanum, one o f th em beilT, labelled " poison," and the other " laudanun?. The prisoner was taken to the hospital and the stomach-pump was used. It was found necessary . to employ the galvanic batter going to sleep. At the workhouse w to a keep ssrr the h, , p m ii f o r n o e u r i said he had been very well off; not been allowed to die, as he did not e N 3%., h . ish e had his friends to know, through the papers, h ow h e was placed. He refused to give his address. The defendant, in answer to the charge, said that so me friends had paid for him while he had had been at Malvern under tile cold-water treatment. He had no :ight to name them, as he had lost all m 1 ; 0 madness. Drink was the cause of th e attempt 4a 1 h h e e h ir a k d I made to desiroy his life.

Mr. Barker said the prist.'ner was very foolish in not stating who his friends we.re. He was remanded. John Willford, a cowkeeper of Highgate, was charged with attempting to commit swicide by cutting his throat. Mr. Barker remanded him for a week. • SOUTHWARK. —Ellen Sweeny, an old woman, was brought up charged with obtaining 2s. e.nd a cap front under false and fraudulent pretences. The prosecutrix, Mrs. Sparrow, a married worn an, said she kept a bonnet shop at 131, Bermondsiq street. On Saturday afternoon last the prisoner came in and asked her to purchase a stay Believing her to be a very poor woman she bouglq , one, but the prisoner inst ead of leaving lingerea about the door, an at last asked to look at her (witness's) hand. When the prisoner had looked at it she asked for sixpen,ce, saying that she had good fortune in store, and she would tell her all about it. On getting the sixpence tllle prisoner told her her husband would die by accidei2t, and that she would then marry another man, have s.9veral children, and be very rich. Mr. Combo asked her if she hat; any children by her husband ? Witness replied that she had two. After she gave the prisoner the sixpence she wanted anOther, as she could then tell what sort of a man .her fu,.' - ure husband would be. The witness thought she should like to hear what more the prisoner had to say - Eull gave her another sixpence, when the prisoner t. 9 ld her he would be a dark man and a prosperous mail. After that the prisoner pulled out a pack of cards and shuffled them, and the witness picked one out, when she was told that she would have four chii dren by her next husband. Mr. Combe here expressed his surprise that any woman of her age, and more especially a trades man's wife, could be so foolish as to be imposed upon by an ignorant hag like the prisoner. She ought to have turned her out of the shop there and then, or given her into the custody of a policeman. Witness replied that the prisoner would .not leave the shop, but told her that she wanted an other shilling to consult the planets for her, as she had no doubt she had a lucky star. The witness gave her a shilling as requested, and then the pri soner pointed to a cap-front and said she must have that to wind up her nativity. She gave her the front, and then the prisoner left the shop. Mr. Combe asked her if she had any desire then to lose her husband ? The witness replied that she had not. She was so frightened that she was glad to get rid of the prisoner, thinking that she should never see her again. However, on Tuesday afternoon she was surprised to see the prisoner walk into the shop, and in the coolest manner demand 4s. more to com plete her horoscope. Witness told her she had no more money, and requested her to leave the shop, when the prisoner turned round and said she knew she had money, and money she would have before she left. Witness then sent for a constable and gave her into custody. The prisoner here said that the lady told her to come on Tuesday. She never told fortunes. How could a poor ignorant old woman like her do such a thing ? Sergeant Pearce, 7 M, said he took the prisoner into custody, and found upon her an old greasy pack of cards. The prisoner accounted for this by saying she picked them up in the street and put them in her pocket. Mr. Combo, after again expressing . his surprise at the foolish conduct of the prosecutrix, sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. LAMBETH.—Yesterday Mr. Denton, from the office of the Messrs. Freshfield, solicitors to the Bank of England, accompanied by Mr. John Coe, superintendent of the Bank-note Printing De partment, waited on the Hon, G. Norton to re quest advice and assistance. Mr. Denton said that the governors of the Bank of England had deter mined to use every effort to prevent the circulation of " flash" notes, and to prosecute and punish to the utmost rigour of the law all persons assisting in their circulation. Now that so many foreigners are in England it is necessary that something should be done to protect them from sharpers making use of spurious notes. He might mention one instance of the frauds committed which had been brought under the notice of the governors of the Bank of England. On the Bth of the present month an Italian gentleman came to London to visit the International Exhibition. He went to the Crystal Palace, and, while looking at some Italian casts or sculpture, was addressed by a per son of respectable exterior in English. A foreigner, who said he was a Swiss, joined them, and made himself understood by both. They talked of Spain America, and other countries, and while comparing them with England the Swiss said he had been robbed of £5OO. He remarked how necessary it was in London that foreigners should take parti cular care of their money, so as to protect it from English pickpockets. The Italian gentleman spoke of the money he possessed, and produced 20 napo leons. His companions then drew from their pockets bundles of what he believed to be bank notes. The Swiss took the 20 napoleons into his hands, and at the same time handed to their owner several notes. He then went away, saying he should bring back a bottle of wine. The gentleman was told that he need not be alarmed, as the notes left in his hands as security were of much greater value than the gold intrusted to the man, but in order to remove his suspense he (the second sharper, for such were both) would go and bring the gentleman with the wine. He entered the building, and it was scarcely necessary to say he did not return. The Italian, thus plundered, still under the impression that he held security equiva- lent to his loss, presented the notes at the Bank, and, to his utter astonishment, was told they were quite worthless. The Governors of the Bank of England, in the event of the apprehension of these men, would feel it to be their duty to prosecute them for the felony. In the course of inquiries that had been instituted it had been ascertained that a person named J. W. Peel, a printer in the Lower Marsh, had been in the habit of printing and circulating these notes. This person had been dead for three years. He was succeeded in his business by a Mr. Knowles, who was understood to be a re spectable man. If he was in possession of the plates from which these "flash" notes were pro duced, he was a party to their circulation. Mr. Denton said that Mr. Knowles, if made acquainted with the law, might give up the plates and flash notes ; and, as he resided in the district of this court, be considered it the proper place to make an application on the subject. Mr. Norton observed that he was very glad in deed to find the Governors of the Bank of England coming forward to suppress the evil of " flash note" circulation. As Mr. Knowles was a person of respectability, there could be no necessity for issuing a summons against him, and he (the magi strate) should send an officer with the applicant to hear what he had to say. On his return, the officer informed the magistrate that Mr. Knowles was out, but that his clerk had undertaken, as soon as he returned, to forward all the notes and plates to the Bank of England, and not circulate a single note again. In reply to Mr. Norton, Mr. Coe said he was } quite satisfied with this, and so the matter ended. THE RUSSIAN PRIESTHOOD,—The clergy are the lowest in the world out of Thibet. the bishops are the most slavish of courtiers before the nobles, and the most vulgar of tyrants among their clergy. The clergy aro a suffering class,—not only ignorant and oppressed, but pain - .. fully abased. In a Protestant country, where the clergy of all sects deal with ideas as the basis of sentiments: scarcely possible to conceive of the way in which . t t il h e e Gr ee k minis ters of a purely ritual religion are regarded, as th n e clergy in Church or in Buddhist society. Perhapsthasi any other Russia are less affected by recent events than can hardly class. Nobody thinks of raising thern u : st, however, make sink lower in fortunes and repute. i s n o g m ( e )p d o i n ffe h r o e u n s c o e , to or s th h e u m ui w og he u t p he a r : `, r tl y hgel m otli o al nnn o g d d : : 1 ( -, v in ye l r i ;g it o i ar n r w e e 1 h , s ke etaherldr the peasants are in their other people just noW.—Once menacing ; or whether th7neclit:cirmtVielei:lepri.goysl:etrhoeurseforurtecl, merry, or full of gloom d plerasic:lneadaches.--Thousands suffer a are ifr n ee l . much ha weather, h cure er. for H indigestion , ollo way's purifying bilieus.

' PUGILISM. PATSEY REARDOIN" AND ROBT. TRAVERS (THE BLACK), FOR £2oo.—These me(2abers of the pal. a Jet on Tuesday, when, in the seventh i'ound, hostilities were suspended, owing to the arrival of the police; the battle, which bad been fought in favour of Travers, having lasted exactly 37 minutes. The combatants were order(id by the referee to meet yesterday for the renewal of hostil dties, and when the selected spot had been reache d, "all ri ght" was given b 7 a "friendly power," therefore the ci )mmissary a end hisents satellites lost no time in making th a ring arrang ma rks complete. Neither of the combatan.ta had any strong marks of their recent meeting, for although . Reardon had had the worst of it, still he had been able to " rub" it off in Ti snr prising manner—a proof of the ex cel lence a his condition.. Bob, who "looked as fresh as (blacl t) paint," had for his s e c on ds the gallant Job Cobley an d a. respected ex-member of the P.R., while Hicks (w:.111) is - matched to fight Gol lagher) and George Crockett di'd the requisite for Reardon. All being ready the men were c o n ducted to the Scratch, and at 31 minutes past 2 o'clock were left to resume the contest. The few rounds fought 3n. the first day had been sufficient to show the determined qu alities of the men. In the first round there had been on tl to p receding day more of caution exhibited, as neither man would throw away chance. The lead, as on the preceda ig day, was takonll: there Travers—the .

THE CONFEDERATE CROMWELL. cc st o ctewall" Jackson is everywher e described as a " alovi men, 'inY. glectually, even dull. Some say he was a. tedio uS An d f7sor, -ad all agree that he has a creeping look. ;f y ou k them now what they mean by that, they sap yethey dc: not know ; all they do know is that he is obstin ate as a mule, rto, an d plucky as a bulldog, which means jus t nothing a a mal l whose prime qu al ity is celerity, qu ick conclusions, and s tartling execution ; who, as a soldie r, is as rapid as h 0 is wary, abounding in surprises, brave almost to rashnes,S and inventive alm lost to romance. A 5 for his outer man, he looks at least seven years older than he is ; his height about If ve feet ten inc hes ; his figure thi ck set, square shouldered, ant decidedly , clumsy ; his gn it very awkward, stooping, and vi rjth long strides. He offsl walks with his head somewhat on one Fide, and his e y es fixed upon the ground, imparting to h i s vhole a pp earance that abstracted quality which youn, la dies describe as absent-minded. A lady who has known hit n long and well has told me that she never saw him on ho re eback withou t laughing, short stirrups, knees cramped up, L eels stuck ou t behind, and chin on his breast—a most unm, iL itary pheno° menon.

Their opposition served to post' pone a decision, and the motion was held under • z,onsidet iv tion. Meantime the people of the valley got wh ad of the affair, and with. a great outcry of indignation and threats ea assailed the Powers at Richmond that the quet dion sg as dropped "like a hot potato."
