The squadron under thc command of Roar-Admi ral Mundy, C. 13., now at anchor in the Corfu Roads, consists of the fellowlng ship; :—The Han nibal, 91, bearing the flag of the Rear-Admiral; the St. Jean d'Acre, 101 ; the London, 90 ; the Ra coon, 22; the Gannet, 11; the Osprey, 4; and the Assurance, 4. _ _ The screw line-of-battle ship Donegal, 101, ar rived at Portland on Friday morning from Ply mouth, to join the Channel fleet. The Ariadii6, 26, has been commissioned at Chatham by Capt. E. W. Vansittart (1856.) She is to have a complement of 400 men, including Ma rines. The utmost activity is being displayed in order to get this vessel ready for sea, and she is expected to leave the fitting dock in the course of a few days. Her sails have arrived from Woolwich, and were put on board on Saturday. The Marines, numbering 48 men of all ranks, selected from the Chatham division of the Marine Artillery, will be under the command of Lieut. J. S. Mould. The Wrangler, s t eam -vessel, Lieut.-Commander Robert G. Douglas, having been fitted at Woolwich A r senal with two of Sir William Armstrong's guns (40 and 80 pounders), has left for Sheerness, and will proceed thence to-morrow for the North Sea, for the purpose of enabling the Ordnance Select Committee to conduct a series of experiments, with a view to report as to the adoption of the weapon for naval gunnery, and the best description of gun carriage for counteracting the inconvenience aris ing from the rolling of a heavy sea. The Himalaya screw troopship,. Commander J. Seccombe, is under orders for service to the Cape and China. She will be ready about the 4th prox. The Supply screw storevessel, Master Commander W. H. Balliston, arrived at Spithead on Saturday from Boudroun Bay, Malta, and Gibraltar, with antiquities, old stores, &c. She proceeded on to Woolwich the same day. The Ardent, 3, paddle, arrived at Spithead on Saturday from Woolwich. The Prometheus, paddle, Commander Grey Skip with, arrived at Spithead on Friday with the Queen Charlotte sailing three-decker in tow. The Mohawk, 6, screw, Commander P. C. C. M'Dougal, has been swung fir the adjustment of her compasses at Portsmouth, and proceeded to Spithead to take in powder and shell, pay her crew, &e., prior to proceeding to her destination. The Russian paddle steamer Olaf, Capt. Alex. de. Weymarn, arrived at Spithead an Saturday from the Baltic. On bringing up she exchanged the customary salutes with the military and naval authorities of the port. She sailed again from Spit head at 10 a.m. yesterday for Lisbon and the Medi terranean. _ _ The Princess Royal, 91, steamer, Capt. T. Baillie, alongside the dockyard at Portsmouth, has stripped to her lower masts. The Board of naval officers who have been conducting the inquiry into the late disturbances on beard this ■hip concluded their la bours on Saturday, and have forwarded their report through the Commander-in• Chief at the port, Ad miral W. Bowles, C.B. It now remains with the Admiralty to direct what measures shall be taken for the conviction and punishment of the offenders ; but, however stringent may be the measures taken, it is very probable, owing to the difficulty in pro caring certain evidence, that the real ringleaders of the mutiny will escape punishment. It is stated that several of her crew have been recognised as old acquaintances in Portsmouth dockyard, where they have worn quite a different uniform to the one they at present appear in. Private letters, dated Shanghai, Sept. 19, state that Admiral Hope was so far recovered from his wounds as to be able to walk, and that he had ar rived at Shanghai on a visit to Mr. Bruce. Officers have been employed in surveying the coast in the vicinity of the mouth of the Peiho, and a favour able position for the landing of troops, by which the forts might be taken in the rear, and obviate the necessity of forcing the river's mouth. A report was also prevalent in Shanghai at the time the let ter was written that the Chinese were engaged in rasing some of the forte at the entrance to the Peiho. The crew of the Havannah, 19, Capt. T. Harvey, were paid off at Plymouth on Saturday. Mr. Joseph Banks, of Tait's-hill, Plymouth, has received instructions from the Admiralty to build a steam gunboat • her construction will be under the inspection of the officers of the Devonport dock yard. - It is reported at Plymouth that the screw steam ship St. George, 90, is to be brought forward to bear the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir A. Milne, K.C.8., on the West India station. The screw steamship Sans pareil, 70, is spoken of for the same service, but the heated state of the officers' berths, in consequence of the proximity of the engines, seems to disqualify her for permanent duty in the tropi..:s. Her Majesty's ship Devastation, Capt. Baird, from the West Indies and North America, was on Saturday paid off at Woolwich. The men all mus tered clean and happy. and expressed their readi ness, if the opportunity offered, of again taking service under their gallant captain, The officers joined Capt. Baird at the usual paying-off dinner at the naval rendezvous, the Ship Hotel, the same evening. The paying off the Devastation was noti fied in strong contrast to that of the Trident on the preceding Saturday, which latter vessel is officially reported by the dockyard, authorities to h ave been paid off in a far less orderly condition, and was subject to the censure of the examining officers of the yard. The Royal Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of the coast defences have paid a second visit to Chatham, and, after inspecting the works adjoining the dockyard, proceeded out to the steam floating battery Trusty, 14, for the purpose of examining the effects of the shots on the iron plated sides of that vessel on the occasion of the experiments made with the new description of shot fired from the Armstrong guns. The Commis sioners spent some time on board the battery, which they minutely inspected, the general opinion ap pearing to be that, considering the severe effects of the shot on the sides of the battery, that description of vessel would be of comparatively little use when exposed to the fire of the Armstrong guns. It is understood that no more floating batteries will be constructed. The followin,gappointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—Commander N. Salmon to the Icarus, commissioned ; Lieut. J. M. D. Elphin stone to the Queen ; Lieut. J. S. Trotter to the Ariadne ; Lieut. K. J. L. Cox to the Icarus ; G. J. Stanfield, J. Gellatly, and J. Turner, third-class assist.-engineers, to the Asia. THE ARMY. General Lord Seaton, accompanied by his staff, left Dublin on Thursday for Newry and the north of Ireland, on a tour of military inspection. Lord Seaton has intimated his intention of having a bat tery of Horse Artillery quartered between the bar racks of Kilkenny and Carlow. The battery com prises 185 horses. The trials which have been made at Chatham . garrison by order of the Duke of Cambridge with the new description of military field and hospital tents patented by Mr. G. Turner, of Northfieet, having terminated, and the tents been removed, very favourable reports have been made to the Go vernment on the invention by all the heads of de partments in the garrison who were in any way connected with the various trials that took place. The trial of the tents extended over a period of two months, during the whole of which time they were occupied by troops of the Line and the Royal and Indian Engineers. Notwithstanding the severe hurricanes of wind and rain during the month of October, exceeding in violence anything of the kind which-have occurred in this country-for manyyears past, Mr. Turner's tents withstood the strain with. out the starting of a peg, while on former occasions the old Government tents, even in a moderate gale, were frequently blown over. On Saturday a party of non-commissioned officers of the Royal Engineers, under the command of Lieut. O'Brien, left Chatham for Hytlie, where they will undergo a course of instruction in the Lancaster rifle. Capt. H. Y. D. Scott, Chief Instructor of Engi neering Works at Chatham, left Brompton Barracks on Saturday, with a party of 15 officers of the Royal and Indian Engineers, on a tour of inspection of the several Government works in progress at Portsmo u th, Southampton, Weymouth, and other places on the s ou th ern coast. ri 'he Lords of the Admiralty have been pleased, as an acknowlede•ment of long faithful service, ' to grant Col. li , 7dle C.II Commandant of the Portsmouth Divi-.5i.0n 'of R . ' ril\lines, the . full pay retirement of ids rank, ; 1 1 3 n . der provist3ns of the order in Council oF the 13th of NThvember, 1838. Od. Anderson, S2Clil Commandant, as senio- ofli ecr, assumed the con-mord of the division from the 19th inst., the date of Col. Hurdle's retirement. On retiring from tie command of the division Col. Hurdle, C. 8., in the orders of the day, " desires to express the satis - ,betion he has derived from the ;rood order, disci e, and soldierlike bearing w hi c h Jrive distinguish ed the men of that division during the time he has h tad the _honour to command them; and he takes his I cave of the division with the hope and confident asst zrance that it will continue under his successor to in .eserve the same high character 'for order and discipline which, it has always main tained while under his command." The retirement carries with it a s tep of honorary rank, under the 10th clause of thy order in Council of the 13th of November, 1858, saidplaces at the disposal of the Admiralty the ap,pcintment of Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, which will be vacated by Col. „Hurdle on his being gazetted a Major-General. Major-General Sir J. Y. Scarlett, K.C.8., Lieut.- Governor of Portsmouth, entertained at dinner at the Government house on Saturday the commanders of the Prussian men-of-war Thetis and Frauen-lob and a large party of other officers. The Simoom screw troopship, Commander J. Cook, embarked the officers and troops enumerated in The Sun of the 18th inst. on Saturday, at Ports mouth, for China, with the exception of the follow ing officers, it havrn been discovered at the last moment that she had not sufficient accommodation for the whole of the officers named in the list pub lished on the 18th inst.:—Staff-Assist.-Surgeons McKenzie and Hale; Drs. Frazer, Itattray, Maber, White, Page, and Carter; Dispenser Davies; Pur veyor's Clerk Bungay ; and Store Clerks Gordon and Crawford. These officers will consequently have to be provided with passages in other vessels. The Simoom sailed from Portsmouth for China at seven a.m. yesterday, with a fine breeze at S.E. She was very deep in the water, from the large quantity of stores and materials on board. The name of Capt. St. John Willans was accidentally omitted from the list of names of the officers of the Military Train who have sailed in the Simoom. The proposed alteration and enlargement of the fort on the Stack Rock in Milford Haven have commenced. It will be sufficient to contain about fifty guns. The proposed new fort on Popton Point has also been laid out, and will be carried on as quickly as possible. The men of the Line in depot at Pembroke Dock are being drilled daily by the Hampshire Artillery. Several detachments have already gone through a course of garrison gun drill, and have become tolerably expert—sufficiently so to become effective assistants to regular artillery men. Major-General Bloomfield, Inspector-Gene tral of Artillery, has been on a tour round the f o rts, &c., on the shores of Milford Haven, and was much pleased with the state of readiness for service in which he found everything in the locality. The Hampshire Artillery Regiment was minutely inspected by Col. Raymond, commanding the troops in South Wales, on the 9th and 10th inst., who ex pressed himself highly pleased with the general good conduct of the men since they have been under his command, and their efficiency in the performance of their military duties. On the 15th it was again inspected by Major-General Bloomfield, Inspector- General of Artillery. In the forenoon they paraded as infantry, and in the afternoon he witnessed some excellent practice from 32-pounders with Shrapnel's shells. He addressed the men on both occasions, say ing how much he was pleased with them, and pro mised to make a most favourable report to the Com mander-in-Chief. VOLUNTEER CORPS. THE INNS OF COURT. On Saturday afternoon, a very large and enthu siastic meeting of benchers and members of the dif ferent Inns of Courts was held in the Lords Justices' Court, Lincoln's-inn, with a view to take the neces sary steps for giving immediate practical effect to the design in contemplation there for some time past for the formation of a volunteer rifle corps. Vice-Chancellor Sir Richard Kindersley was pre sent, as were also a considerable number of the more distinguished members of the bar, and others occu pying positions of honour in the profession, includ ing Sir Hugh Cairns, M.P., Sir John Harding, the Queen's Advocate-General, Mr. Selwyn, M.P., Mr. Malins, M.P., Mr. Samuel Warren, Q.C., Mr. Whateley, Q.C., Mr. Phinn, Q.C., Mr. Forsyth, Q.C., Mr. Bacon, Q.C. Mr. Kenyon Parker, Q.C., the Hon. Mr. Liddell, Mr. Otter, Examiner of the Court of Chancery, Mr. Huddlestone, Q.C., Mr. Wilcox, Q.C., and many more of note and standing. The profession mustered on the occasion in great force, and, seen in a mass, it would be difficult to find amore spirited body of men. Many of them fresh from the universities, accustomed to athletic exercises, no more promising band could be submitted to the train ing of the drill sergeant, and the sight of them would delight the heart of Major-General Hay. Armed, highly trained and disciplined, in the prime of life, they would be well nigh invincible, and with such a body to defend them the time honoured members of the profession might still burrow in their shady retreats in the Temple and Lincoln's Inn, or " live at home at ease" in their suburban chateaux, utterly regardless of invasion. Mr. SELWYN, M.P., having been voted to the chair by acclamation, proceeded to recount the steps taken by the provisional committee, of which he was a member, composed of representatives of the Inns of Court, and embodied some time ago for the formation of a corps. Eschewing what he called the besetting sin of the members of his profession, which was to make long speeches—(a laugh)—and reminding his audience of the repudiation by Major- General Hay of the notion that tho rifle corps movement was to be "an affair of brass bands and luncheons"—(cheers)—he had simply to say the committee in question was appointed shortly before the commencement of the long vacation. The im mediate dispersion of almost alt the members of the courts, however, threw impediments in the way of the formation of a corps; but now that they had returned, he trust 3d there was a earnest determi nation among them to lose no more time in the matter. (Cheers.) Another difficulty in their way, at first, was the doubt existing as to the Govern ment being in earnest on the subject of rifle corps, a doubt which was increased by an expression which fell from the noble lord at the head of the Go vernment, who was pleased to designate this move ment as "the rifle fever." (A laugh.) He (Mr. Selwyn) believed such a sentiment would find but little response among the members of the Inns of Court. (Hear, hear.) Those doubts and suspicions, however, were new dispersed ; the views of the Go verment, from whatever cause, were now entirely changed; and the people, might now reckon upon the hearty concurrence of the Administration in the movement ; for at the close of the session he was present in his place in the House of Commons when Lord Palmerston went through the disagreeable ceremony of eating his own words. (A laugh.) He thought, too, the volun tet rs were about to receive a higher sanction than that of the Government, for an intimation had been given that her Gracious Majesty the Queen was prepared to extend her countenance to these rifle corps (loud cheers), so that they were now about to bask in the sunlight of Royal favour. Sonic diffi culty had been experienced in the Inns of Court in organising a working committee which had the entire confidence of an the members. As the gen tlemen originally appointed on the committee were almost all of them members of the inner bar, they added certain gentlemen, from outside the bar, be longing to the diftlrent inns of court, from whom they had received much valuable assistance. For reasons he had stated, the enrolment did not at first proceed as rapidly as was expected, but it was now proceeding at a much accelerated pace. There were now 200 enrolled members, and they were en rolling men at the rate of from 12 to 20 or 30 a-day. (Cheers.) That was not all they expected to do, and he hoped ere long they would establish a corps which in numbe r an d efficiency would not be infe rior to any in the metropolis or the country. (Cheers.) All those enrolled were in the flower of their days, no one having been admitted above 45 years of age. (An ironical laugh.) Of the loyalty, intelligence, and spirit of such a body of men he would not venture to speak, because they were not there to pay compliments to each other. With re spect to " the sinews of war," the committee had despatched some of their body as emissaries (a laugh) to their judges and to other quarters, where they thought they might obtain money (a laugh), and he was happy to say they had received dona tions and subscriptions amounting to £750. He might state that the cost of the outfit of an enrolled volunteer would be from £4 to £5. He believed he might add that if the money now in hand should not bo found sufficient, those of the older members of the profession who had ah;;dy - al scribed would put their hands into their pockets again and again—(cheers)—until the amount re- cluired should be collected, if other of the older members of the profession who had yet subscribed should fail in their duty to come forward. He could not understand that such a movement would be permitted to languish from any want of support. He had some hope of gaining assistance from the corporate property of the four Inns of Court. (Hear, hear.) A suggestion to that effect had been very favourably received ; he had no doubt that a vote of money would be made by the Society of Lincoln's Inn, and he thought the other inns would cheer fully follow the example. As to places for drill, the committee had thought the most suitable would be the halls of the Inns of .Court in bad weather, and the gardens of the Inns of Court in fair wea ther. He had made a motion in the bench of Lin eoln't.-inn for the uFe of the hall and gardens for the purpose, which he believed would be conceded, and the other inns would afford similar facilities. With respect to a place for practising firing, the bcst that had come under the notice of the commit tee was situate on Sheen-common, where a butt was now in course of erection; with a range of 800 yards, at the expense, amounting to about £5OO, of the Richmond Rifle Corps. The suggestion was that the Richmond and the Inns of Court Corps should bear half the expense, and that a joint committee of equal numbers from both should be appointed to regulate the use of the ground. (Hear.) The im portant question of uniform the committee had thought advisable to leave to the volunteers them selves. There was a gentleman present connected with the Highgate Rifle Corps, who would appear before the volunteers in his uniform, if they wished it, on Monday morning, and it would be for them to say whether t hey approved of the " exhibit."' (Cheers.) The selection of the officers was a matter of great import ice, and he trusted there would be none of that jet - % lousy and animosity shown in the choice which Jam injured se many of the existing corps. (H ear , near.). They would, of course , a ll be equal when. discharged from drill, and therefore it was the mote necessary that there should be a careful selectiOn of the officers. The committee would afford to t heir successors the opportunity of considering whether they would be officered by men chosen from. among themselves, or call in the assistance of MET. who had served in the army. (Hear, hear.) Jr would be a great honour to com mand such a corps, and there was a gentleman who had served in India and the Crimea and who, with out any salary or r,ciward, would esteem it a privi lege to serve as adj . ntant, or in any other rank in which they might think fit to place him. (Hear, hear.) The committee had made arrangements for the attendance of dria sergeants, and the drill would commence forthwith. It now devolved upon the enrolled members and. subscribers to elect from among their number a permanent committee in the place of the provisional one, whose functions termi nated that day. An ENROLLED VOLUNTitER suggested the post ponement of the election of the committee until a future day to afford time to know who the enrolled members and subscribers were. On the motion of Mr. MALiNs, M.P., who coin cided with the suggestion, the election was ad journed, and the subscribers and enrolled volunteers were requested to insert in voting papers the names of gentlemen whom they wished to serve on the permanent committee, and forward such papers to Mr. Kenyon Parker, the honorary secretary, on or before Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock. Mr. SELIVIC:N, M.P.,said, in reply to Mr. Phinn, the Government had issued a sort of model form of rules, and one of the first duties of the new com mittee would be to adopt those rules, or to make them harmonise, as far as possible, with the rules passed at the ast general meeting of the enrolled volunteers. Several gentlemen present suggested that 45, as the age beyond which there could be no admission into the corps, was too limited, and that it should be extended to 50 at least. On the motion of Sir J. HARDING, the thanks of the volunteers were voted by acclamation to Mr. Kenyon Parker, for the labour and responsibility he had undergone in forwarding the movement ; and, at the instance of Vice-Chancellor KIN DERSL EY a similar compliment was paid to the chairman, Mr. Selwyn, M.P., for the zeal, ability, and adminis trative capacity he had evinced in the matter. The meeting broke up in high glee, a wag of a volunteer urging his compatriots to make a point of being present at " the exhibit" on Monday morning. I ST. MARGARET'S AND THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER. An influential meeting of the inhabitants of St. MargaiTt's, Westminster, was held at the King's Arms Hotel, Old Palace-yard, on Saturday after noon, for the purpose of appointing a sub-committee to co-operate with the general committee for form ing a rifle corps for the city of Westminster, appointed at a meeting of Deputy-Lieutenants, burgesses, &c., on the Bth inst. Mr. J.Lettsom Elliot occupied the chair, supported by Sir John Scott Lilley, the Rev. Mr. Davis, Mr. Thoms, Mr. Maude (the banker), Mr. Shrubsole, and other influential residents. Mr.MAITDE moved the first resolution, urging the expediency of forming a corps for the city of West minster, and pledging the meeting to support the movement. Mr. THoMS seconded the motion, and said that although he lived out of Westminster he still felt he had a connection with the good old city. He believed that the corps would deserve the same praise as the volunteers from St. Margaret's did in the time of George 111. The motion was then carried unanimously. Mr. CLIBITT moved the next resolution, which expressed the full approval of the meeting in the resolution passed on the Bth inst., and in conformity therewith appointed a sub-committee of the parish to collect subscriptions, enrol members, communi cate with the Secretary of the War Department, and transact all business necessary to make the corps perfect. Mr. SmtußsoLE seconded the resolution, which was also agreed to. Mr. John Lettsom Elliot, Mr. Churchwarden M'Cleane, and \lr. Maude were then appointed the sub-committee. The CHAIRMAN then said, on behalf of himself and colleagues, that they would do their best to place the Westminster Rifle Corps in a good posi tion, and they would take care that St. Margarat's was not last on the list. On the motion of Mr. CLARKE, barrister •at-law, the thanks of the meeting were voted to the chair man, and the proceedings terminated. ISL INO TON. At a meetin g held at the School-rooms, Chad we' street, on Satuday, Mr. Warriner in the chair. Mr. A. E. EBSWORTII, lieutenant of No. 7 Com pany, explained to the meeting the course of in struction he had pursued at Hythe, and spoke in the highest terms of Major-General Hay and the ether members of the School of Musketry ; from the knowledge of drill which he had obtained as a member of this company, he was enabled to drill others who were there, and obtained the honour of being one of the four marksmen. It was resolved : for the establishment of an artillery force for the defence of the ports and shores of the kingdom, has taken steps ter the formation of a corps of artillery volunteers for • Swansea Ilay. " That artisans be invited to join No. 8 Company, the ex , pense of dress, subscription, &c., not to exceed £3 and £: annually." Mr. Charles Taylor, who had been nominated as captain, set in his resignation, whereupon it was resolved : " That Lieut. A. E. Ebsworth, of ilighbury place, be re commended to the Lord-Lieutenant as Captain of No. 7 Company." It was also resolved : "That the undress uniform be similar to that worn by the City Brigade." Several new members having been enrolled, the meeting adjourned. A YLS HAM. The members of this company are being drilled four times a week. Leave has been granted to them to use in future the National school-rooms for this purpose when they are disengaged. rt.Li SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 1859.

There was nothing, he (Mr. Davies) contended, tr, show that Ponti had stolen this property but the statement of Mrs. Chessman as regarded conversa tions, which could not be produced as evidence. He submitted it was not a larceny if a woman, with the knowledge and consent of her husband, chose to become a prostitute for the support of herself and him, and a man eloped with her, taking with him the property given the woman lsy gentlemen as the wages of her prostitution, and which, therefore, could not be the property of her husband. He then cited a case in which a woman was sold some clothes by a shopkeeper, who pointed out, as an induce ment to the purchase, the necessity of her being showily dressed to attract the notice of gentlemen, and the Court ruled that the goods, having been sold for an immoral purpose, the shopkeeper could not recover. Pithers was not a bootmaker, as he alleged, and for the last three years had not spent one penny upon his wife, who during that time had received no money b u t w h a t h e had obtained by her profligacy. Mr. Arnold observed that if Mr. Davies's show ing were right, then, had a thief broken into Pithers's house and stolen this property, who would he (Mr. Davies) have brought forward as the owner P Mr. Davies thought the case would be altered in that event, the husband being for the time pro prietor. Mr. Arnold remarked that he was to understand, then, from Mr. Davies that were this a common case it would be a larceny, but as the husband had a knowledge of all the facts previous to the elope ment, and as the property was bought by the gen tlemen who came to see Mrs. Pithers, the charge of larceny could not be sustained against the prisoner. Mr. Davies said that was the meaning he had in tended to convey. Mr. Arnold observed that this was a difficult point of law, which must be decided before another tribun.il. The worthy magistrate then proceeded to cite a case tried before Mr. Justice Coleridge, in which it was held that there was a larceny by the man of the clothes in which the woman ordinarily dressed, and there they were taken in the act of eloping, and had not committed adultery; but the judge held that it was a larceny because the intention had been to commit adultery. Mr. Davies urged that, in this case, there was no legal proof that Ponti had taken away the things. Mr. Arnold though there was certainly some evi dence upon that point. The prisoner had brought a charge against Pithers, upon which he was sent to prison- and Ponti immediately proceeded to live ith the wife till the day before the husband's re lease, when Mrs. Pithers and Ponti packed up the property and left the house together. That was surely evidence that prisoner had committed a larceny. Mr:Davies said, if Mr. Arnold,had made up his mind to send the case for trial, he would ask that his client be admittei to bail. Mr. Smythe had many objections to produce why the prisoner should not be permitted to go at large. Mr. Arnold observed that, as the case at present stood, ho did not think he could take bail. '1 he accused had frequently been at that court in con nection with Pithers and his wife, and, on every occasion, both h e (M r . Arnold) and Mr. Paynter had (riven him ad v i ce upon t h e matter, pointing out to him that, according to the law of this coun try, both moral and divine, he could not be per mitted to carry on an adulterous connection with Mrs. Pithers. The accused had solemnly promised on his word of honour as a gentleman to give this woman up, and yet here he was still carrying on the connection, eloping with the wife of the man he had sent to prison, and (as it was alleged) tak ing away the property. The prisoner had led him (the worthy magistrate) to suppose that this woman was following him about and annoying him, whereas it had that day been proved by Mrs. Cheesman—whether she could be relied upon or not he would not undertake to say—that he was threatening and ill-using her. He certainly did not think himself justified under the circumstances in taking bail, unless something in the prisoner's favour were brought before him. Mr. Davies said he must then proceed to open the case for the defence, and called Mary Cole, an old woman, who said that she had been servant to Mr. and Mrs. Pithers, at 10, York place, Vauxhall-road. Ponti came to lodge there on the sth of April, 1857, and remained there till September. During those five months Mrs. Pithers frequently slept with Ponti while her husband slept in the next room. She did not think Ponti knew Mrs. Pithers was married, as Pithers was always down stairs and Ponti never saw him. While Ponti was out Pithers would be up-stairs, but never while Ponti was there. On one occasion a gentle man came whom Pithers did not seem to care about letting his wife see, and she went into hysterics. By Mr. Arnold --The house in York-place was a very respectable one. Mr. Arnold warned witness that she was very old, and upon her oath she had admitted that Ponti had slept with her mistress while her master was in the house and cognisant of the fact. How could she in the face of that call the house a respectable One. Witness then said it . was a "respectable gay house.' Mr. Arnold wished to know what she meant by that, and whether she had hr d any experience in "gay houses" that she called this a " respectable" one. Witness replied in the negative. Pithers slept with his wife when no one else was there. When other men came lie slept in another room. Examination by Mr. Davies continued—.A year before Ponti ever came to the house, other gentle.. men used to sleep with Mrs. Pithers, and her hus band was well aware of the fact. Mrs. Pithers left the house in York-place with Ponti because she did not like with her husband. Other evidence of a like nature followed, and after Mr. Arnold had been occupied upwards of three hours he said he must adjourn the matter, owing to the pressure of business and lateness of the hour. He would remand the accused for another week, and, as the evidence brought forward by Mr. Davies had materially altered the features of the case, he should let Ponti at large upon taking his own - recognisances for his appearance. The accused's recognisances were accordingly ex• tended.to next Saturday.

The strength of this company is increasing, and it now numbers upwards of 60 members. To-day they are to appear in full uniform on their practice ground at the back of the residence of Mr. Waylen, East-hill. The volunteers meet three times a week, have made considerable progress in their drill, &c. The uniform is a sin: le-breasted tunic of dark green cloth, ornamented with wide braid, and having five braided loops across the breast, with trousers of dark green cloth, with wide black braid. In the case of the officers the tunic has more ornamentation; The rifle used is the short Enfield, with sword-bayonet, and the other minor details of the equipment aro of the usual character. CRICKHOWELL (B11CONSIIIRE). The first drill of the Volunteer Rifle Corps took place on Tuesday last, from two to four o'clock in the afternoon, and it has been arranged ,that the members shall meet twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays. A considerable accession of members has taken place since the first drill, and the move ment promises to become very popular in this neighbourhood. I)EDHAM (ESSEX). An influential meeting of the inhabitants of this neighbourhood has determined on the formation of a rifle corps in the locality, under the designation of the " Stour Valley Volunteer Corps." Before the meeting terminated 24 effective and 11 honorary members were enrolled. DERBY. The members of this corps are rapidly increasing in number. Subscriptions for the First Derbyshire Volunteer Rifle Corps now amount to £5lB, and annual subscriptions to £23. EDINBURG H. In addition to the Mid-Lothian Coast Artillery, which is composed of companies located in Edin burgh, Leith, and the coast towns and villages, the first company of a regiment has been formed in the city of Edinburgh under the nuspices of the lead ing artists of Scotland, Mr. Noel Paton having been appointed captain, Mr. John Faed first lieutenant, and Mr. James Archer second-lieutenant. The pro posed regiment is No. 6 in the Volunteer Artillery of Great Britain, and the practice-ground is to be the half-moon battery of Edinburgh Castle, the Mid-Lothian Regiment and also the Town of Leith Artillery being appointed to practise in Leith Fort. The first company has only as yet enrolled 60 vo lunteers, but, there is little doubt that a small regi ment will soon be formed sufficient to garrison the Castle in case of need. The Merchants' Rifle Com pany, for which the lists were opened on Monday, is already considerably more than half filled up, and in a few days more the maximum strength of 100 is expected to be attained.

PROBATE AND DIVORCE COURT, (Before the Judge Ordinary, Mr. Justice Byles, and Mr. Justice Bramwell.) BROWN V. BROWN AND WILD. Dr. Spinks appeared for the petitioner. This was a suit brought by Mr. John Angel Brown for a dissolution of his marriage, by reason of his wife's adultery with William Wild. The par ties were married at Richmond, where the petitioner was practising as a surgeon, on the 10th May, 1852. Mrs. Brown was the daughter of a currier in White cross•street, Cripplegate. After residing some time at Richmond, Mr. Brown's health failed, and he was advised to give up practice. He then, in 1557, went to reside with his wife's parents in Whitecross street, and shortly afterwards Mrs. Brown, who had become very irregular in her conduct and extrava gant in her habits, suddenly left the house, merely leaving a note stating that she had gone to get her own living as a housekeeper, and did not intend to live with her husband any more. She wished him to take care of her child, but said it would be no use for him to insist on her returning home. Mr. Brown at once instituted inquiries, but he heard nothing of his wife until a month afterwards, when, while residing at his brother's, he received a letter from her dated the 16th September, 1857, asking him not to turn from the writing in anger, for she was almost mad, although not the guilty one he imagined, and imploring him to take care of her child and not leave the country. Subsequently he received information that she was living as house keeper with a gentleman named Collier, and on the 19th October he was just leaving his brother's house when the respondent came up, and, acting under the advice of his friends, he took her to her mother's, without renewing the connexion. On the 10th November Mr. Brown went as a surgeon on board ship to India, and the wife remained with her pa rents; but in May, 1858, she again suddenly left the house, and for some time it was not known what had become of her, but at length she was discovered passing by the name of Bennet, in Grove-place, Brompton, and living in a state of adultery with the respondent, William Wild. Witnesses having been examined in support of the petitioner's case, Their lordships decreed a dissolution of the mar riage. MACDONALD V. MACDONALD. - - Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and M r . Coleridge appeared for the petitioner. In this case the wife presented a petition for dis solution of her marriage, by reason of her husband's adultery and desertion. The respondent and many of the witnesses were residing in Australia. An application was made to-day to hear the case upon the introduction of certain affidavits. Their lordships, however, thought that they had no authority to receive the affidavits but only in such a way that the opposite side or the Court might have an opportunity, if they required it, of ordering the attendance of the witnesses. Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., said that under the circum stances he should elect to proceed with the case with what oral evidence he was able to procure. The parties were married at Baroda, in the Bombay Presidency, on the 2d October, 1847, the husband, Malcolm Macdonald, being a lieutenant in the 22d Regiment of Native Infantry, and the petitioner a young lady staying on a visit with Lady Outram. It was alleged that soon after the marriage Lieut. Macdonald fell into habits of great extravagance, and was at length imprisoned for debt. While in prison he was constantly visited by his wife, who, contrary to the request of all her friends, refused to leave him and return to England. On the 15th February, 1852, however, he sent her to England for the benefit of her health, and also for the pur pose of making arrangements about his debts. There was an understanding between therm that, if this arrangement were successful, Lieut. Mac donald should go to Australia, and that she should join him there, but since that time up to the pre sent sbe had never received a single sixpence from him for her maintenance or support. He went to Australia in that year, having obtained money by leaving the service, and subsequently a few letters passed between them, but at last he ceased to write, and under these circumstances she determined to go out to Sydney, where she arrived on the 2d October, 1854. No sooner had the vessel cast anchor, however, than she was met by a messenger with a letter from her husband upbraiding her for coming out, and saying he had no affection for her, and that he was living with another woman. Through the interference of a Mr. Thomson, who kept horses at Sydney, and with wh om th e respon dent was in partnership, Mrs. Macdonald was al lowed a room to reside in. Sh e soon f oun d h er hus band treated her with the greatest coldness and in sult, and continued his amour with a Miss Hughes, who had a large fortune, and who was the grand daughter of a felon, and therefore Mrs. Macdonald made up her mind to return to England. (in Dec. 29th following she sailed in the Argo, and had got as far as Melbourne when she received a letter from the respondent entreating her to return, expressing sorrow for what had passed, and promising to amend his conduct ; she thereupon was i n d uced to go b ack to Sydney, forfeiting her passage money, b u t on her arrival the lady discovered that nothing could have disappointed her husband more than her re appearance, he having merely written the letter with some private object, and n ever expec ti ng h er to attend to it. In this state of things a benevolent lady, named Ramsay, offered to take her as gover ness to her children, and invited the husband to come and see his wife whenever he liked, but the respondent never went near the pl ace , and w hen his wife called at his lodgings he treated her with the greatest indifference, and on one occasion a fe male form appeared at the window and knocked at the glass, whereupon Capt. Macdonald said to his wife, " You see, you only come here to be insulted; what is the use of coning here ?" The petitioner subsequently found a letter in his coat pocket, which proved that he was still carrying on au adul terous intercourse with this female, and after March 6, 1855. no interview ever took place between the husband and wife, although she did not leave Aus tralia until December, 1856, when, at the solicita tion of her friends, she returned to this country. Before her departure the respondent left Sydney with the female in question, and had since been re siding with her. Witnesses having been called in support of the petition, The Court pronounced a sentence of divorce. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, Nov. 19. WESTM I NSTER.—THEEXTRAORDIIAtY CASE OF ADULTERY AND ALLEGED ROBBERY.-Mr. Arnold was again occupied some hours on Saturday afternoon in the further investigation of a case in volving a very important point of law, in which Emile Ponti, a young Italian, was charged with stealing a quantity of valuable property, belonging to Thomas Pithers, of 19, Stanley-street, Brompton, with whose wife Pond had eloped to 9, Charles street, Trevor-square. The brief details of the charge upon which the prisoner was given irto custody are these :—Early last October Pithers vas committed for a month for want of sureties for breatening Ponti, who had for some time been carrying on an illicit intercourse with the former's wife. During the time of Pither's imprisonment his wfe and Ponti lived together, and on the night before Pithers's release from cus tody they eloped, takng with them two boxes full of property, mainly consisting of dresses and jewellery worn by Mn. Pithers. Her husband was proved to have conni-ed at her adultery, not only with Ponti but with ether persons, and the ques tion at issue was, whither the fiction of law which render it a larceny in a man who elopes with an other's wife, also taki)g away property, could apply in this case. Acceding to Pithers 's account he had endeavoured to dssuade his wife from follow her infamous couse of life, and had not par ticipated in the proceeds of it. On Saturday, as before, Mr. Smythe, from the office of Mr. de hi Mee, solicitor, attended to pro secute, and Mr. W. I3Davies conducted the defence. After a renewed crss-examination of the prose cutor's servant, in vhich nothing material was elicited, Mary Cheesman was called by Mr. Smythe, and stated that the priscier admitted urging Mrs Pithers to leave her hole, and assisted her in d o i ng so. Witness also sak th a t, during Pithers's con finement, Mrs. Pither had complained to her of Ponti driving her abort, and that he threatened ar.d ill used her in witness' presence. In the course of a lengthened cross-examination by Mr. Davies, it was hown that Ponti had danced with Mrs. Pithers fir years ago, before she was married. This having closed tie case for the prosecution, • Mr. Davies addressel the Court ou behalf of his client, who he said As. of noble blood, and had, sr.d.Troxis OF IHE ROYAL NAVY IN CalorisSlO.Y. :tl-. the (lates of Commission of the Officers in Command.
