THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 27, 1862. LAW-THIS DAY. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary and Common Jury.) SAMODELLE T. SAMOUELLE AND TAYLOR. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Dr. Spinks applied for a postponement of this case as the petitioner had omitted to comply with an order of the court to pay a sum of £35 4s. as costs. The learned counsel produced an affidavit setting forth that the court had directed the money to be paid on the 12th inst,, but the petitioner had evaded the serviee of the order. Dr. Swabcy opposed the application. The Judge Ordinary having read the affidavit, directed the case to stand over until the petitioner had complied with the order of the court. SEAR V. SEAR. This was a petition presented by the husband, praying for a divorce on the ground of the adultery of his wife. The petitioner was chief .engineer on board her Majesty's ship Magicienne, and the marriage took place at St. Pancras Church in 1851, and in 1856 petitioner went to sea, leaving his wife in comfortable circumstances at Devonport. Very shortly after he had gone away, Mrs. Sear sold off the fur niture and went to London, and eventually she became very irregular in her conduct, on some occasions remaining out all night. Eventually she gave birth to a child, the busband:has ing been upwards of 12 months at sea. The jury found that Mary Sear had been guilty of:adul tery with divers persons, whose names are unknown. 5 7 I I The Court made a decree nisi. OLD SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr and a Jury.) DEPENDING A BREACH OP PROMISE OP MARRIAGE CASE FOR lOs.-APPS V. ANDREWS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were con sidered and agreed to and ordered for third reading : Bala and Dolgelly Railway—Corwen and Bala Railway— Manchester, Sheilleld, and Lincolnshire Railway (Addi ti, nal Powers). The Munbee's Divorce Bill was read a third time and passed, and the Macintosh Farr Fund Bill was read a second This was an action to recover an attorney's bill, the costs of which had been incurred on behalf of defendant's son, who had been sued by one Ellen Stokes in a breach of pro mise of marriage case. Ali% Barnard appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Gibbons for defendant. The only point in the case was whether the defendant, who is a farmer at Farnham, had made himself liable for his son ; and while plaintiff swore that he had done so, de fendant said that when his son was served with the writ at the suit of Ellen Stokes, he (defendant) called upon plain tiff and inquired what had better be done. Plaintiff re plied, " Unless you enter an appearance judgment will go by default, and they will get their expenses, which may be serious." Defendant asked how much that would cost, and upon being informed 10.9., paid that sum, telling plain tiff that he should have no more to do with it. It further appeared that the son was over age, but Mr. Barnard urged that it was perfectly clear the father had authorised the son to employ plaintiff. His Honour—lt is not perfectly clear, Mr. Barnard, and I shall be obliged to tell the jury so. His Honour was about to sum up, when the jury said, "We are all agreed." His Honour—Agreed upon what? Jury—We find for the defendant. Verdict for defendant. POLICE-THIS DAY. PO OR RELIEF (IRELAND) (No. 2) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, and resumed the consideration of the bill at clause 21, which relates to the dismissal of poor-law officials for incapacity by the commissioners. On a motion of Sir H. BRUCE, that the boards of guar dians should be joined in the power of dismissing these officials, a discussion of some length ensued, in the course of which it was contended that the adoption of the amend ment would disturb the harmony that subsisted between the commissioners and the board of guardians. Ultimately the amendment was withdrawn. _ _ Mr. COGAN then moved an amendment to the effect that such officers as the commissioners could dismiss should not be dismissed without the approval of the board of guardians, which was also 'withdrawn. Mr. COGAN then moved an amendment substantially the same as the preceding, and the committee divided. For the amendment Against Majority —2s AIARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING THE PRODUCE OP A OIIFQUE-THE FIRST OFFENCE.—A lad of 17, named Charles Smith, in the em ploy of Mr. Isaac Gee, chemist, of 35, Haymarket, was charged with stealing the sum of £5, the money of his mas ter, and also with being in possession of a handsome riding whip, believed to be stolen. Mr, SCULLY, adopting the suggestion of Mr. /vlaguire, in the course of the discussion moved the insertion of a provisio—that inability to be elected a guardian for five years should extend to casss only where the dismissal of officials had taken place for a criminal offence, on which the committee divided— For the amendment Against Majority .. —3B The clause was then agreed to, as was also clause 22. On clause 23, 111 r. Gee said that on Wednesday morning he gave the boy, who had been in his employ some time, a cheque on the London and Westminster Bank and told him to get it cashed and to bring him back the money. The prisoner failed to do, so, and he saw no more of him until he was in the custody of the po'ice. On inquiry at the bank he found the prisoner had received the money. Levi Bibby, G 182, said he was called by Mr. Thomp son, pawnbroker, of Little Bath-street, Clerkenwell, the previous day, the prisoner having offered the whip pro duced for sale. At first the prisoner said he had found the whip, but afterwards said it belonged to his father, who was a jockey. On searching the prisoner he found £3 13s. on him in gold and silver. The prisoner's father was a working jeweller, and the prisoner had a brother who he heard was a bad character. The father said he was oh liged to turn the prisoner out of the house. Mr. Knox asked Mr. Gee whether he had any character with him, and he replied in the negative. Mr. Knox—And yet you entrusted him with a cheque to CoI..GREVILLE moved an amendment to the effect that the Chief and Under Secretary for Ireland should cease to be members of the Poor-law Commission. Sir G. GREY objected to the amendment, as it would deprive Government of the responsibility which he thought it was desirable for the public should be released. Mr. SCULLY said he would agree to the motion if the amendment were adopted. He drew the attention of the committee to the facts, that out of the five members of the Poor Law Board, four were Englishmen, and not one a Roman Catholic. Re objected to such a constitution, and considered that the Commissioners should all be Irishmen, three Roman Catholics, one a member of the Church Es tablishment, and the other a Presbyterian. Some discussion followed, and Colonel GREY ILLE consented to modify his amend ment, by allowing the Chief Secretary for Ireland to retain his place at the Board, provided the Under-SecretaTy were removed. get cashed. Mr. Gee said he had entrusted the boy with money be fore. The prisoner said he found the whip on Hampton race• course. Mr. Knox said he supposed the wretched boy had robbed his master to go to Hampton races. It was a puzzle with him to know what to do with such a boy. Mr. Gee said he believed it was the prisoner's first offence ; and, as his father had turned him out, he hoped his worship would be lenient with him, the more so, as he (Mr. Gee) had heard it was all through the prisoner's father. Sir R. PEEL said he agreed with some of the speakers, that the Roman Catholics should be ref resented at the Board ; and he believed that if any alteration took place, such would be the case. However, he could assure the committee that nothing could exceed the impartiality of the members of the Board ; and he trusted that the Under- Secretary would not be removed from the Board, consider ing the ability he displayed. Mr. Knox said all he could do was to give the prisoner a short punishment; but if the prisoner went to the House of Correction amongst all the thieves, he would have his future character ruined, and there would be a conviction for felony standing in his teeth for the rest of his life. He would remand the boy for a week to the House of Deten tion, and in the meantime would consider what could be done.

ITALIAN AFFAIRS. Lord BROUGHAM said he had heard that some of his observations the other evening had given offence to the friends of a certain individual who denied all participation in Italian affairs, although ho was in opf osition to them. He was happy to hear that these continued interferences in Italy only excited the hostility of Austria without obtaining any security from France. EDUCATIO \; OF PAUPER CHILDREN BILL. This bill passed through committee. PUBLIC HOUSES (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. LEASES, &c,, RESTRICTION BILL. This bill was alsl read a third and passed. DEFENCES OF THE KINGDOM. The Earl of AIRLIE moved for a return, showing how the loan, authorised to be raised for expenditure on the de fences of the kingdom, had been appropriated and expended down to March 31, 1562. The return to show the estimated cost of the works in each district, the cost of the land, the contracts entered into, and other details. The noble lard considered in the changes which were taking place in naval warfare owing to the introduction of our plated ships rendered the policy of constructing these works very doubtful, at all events until the experiments which were being made by Sir Vs. Armstrong threw fuller light upon the offensive powers of artillery of large size, and the defensive capabili ties of iron plates. The noble lord then entered into an analysis of the evidence given before the royal commission, and impugned the results which they had arrived at, as not supported by the opinions of the eminent officers who were examined before them. Earl DE GREY and RIPON consented to the production of the returns, and added that it would be premature to adopt the advice of the noble earl and to abandon the works which had been sanctioned by Parliament two years ago, in order to substitute for them armour-plated ships. With regard to the construction of a central arsenal, he had to state that the consideration of that subject had been suspended for the present, but the idea had not, therefore, been abandoned. The Government were prepared to give the fullest information with regard to the existing works, and also in reference to their future intentions. It was his beilef that whatever might be the improvement here after effected in ordnance and in iron ships it would not secure to this country complete immunity from invasion ; and unless it could be conclusively shown that it would lead to such a result Parliament ought not to be called upon completely to retrace the steps which they had already taken for the national defence. Earl GREY, in commenting on the measures which had been adopted by the Government for the defence of the country, complained of the expense which those measures would involve. He also observed that the new fortifica tions were designed upon an old plan, and that an immense sum was expended upon iron ships while experiments or new inventions in artillery were not yet complete 3. The Duke of SOMERSET stated that all defensive measures were necessarily expensive ; but if we were to re fuse to lay out any money for that purpose the country would be wholly helpless in the case of a sudden out break of war. The late Government had commenced the reconstruction of our fleet, and the work had only been continued by their successors. It we s a mistake to suppose that the new forts were designed upon an old-fashioned principle. He readily ad mitted that it was not advisable to scatter fortifications all over the country; but it was at the same time manifestly desirable that we should protect our dockyards and arsenals. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE expressed his entire con currence in the course which the Government had adopted in suspending the works at Spithead and proceeding with those which had been already commenced in other quarters. He was of opinion that the forts at Portsdown Hill were absolutely necessary for the defence of our great adjoining arsenal. He also approved of the fortifications at Dover, and contended that they were absolutely necessay as a por tion of the works for the protection of the metropolis. The motion was then agreed to, and their lordships ad iourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

A CHARITABLE DISPOSITION CARRIED TOO FAR. — Robert Samkies, a cab proprietor and driver, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a live tame duck. Stephen Thompson, 329 V, said he was on duty at three o'clock that morning in the King's-road, when he saw the prisoner, who was driving a cab, come down from his seat, pick up the duck, which was by the roadside, and put it in his cab. Withess told a constable on duty at the police station, and prisoner was followed and taken into custody. Prisoner—A dog was worrying and tormenting the duck so I took it up avid put it into my boot to prevent its being hurt. Mr. Arnold—You took the duck out of pure charity then. Cabman—Yes, your worship. Mr. Arnold—Was there any dog there, witness ? Policeman—Yes, there was a pointer dog there smelling about. Mr. Arnold—Was it following or worrying the duck ? Policeman—lt was not worrying the duck, but the duck was afraid, and was running away from it. Prisoner—So I thought it was best to put it into my boot. Enoch Pulford, 316 E, said that the former witness told him he had seen the prisoner put the duck into his cab, and he followed him and told him he understood he had got a duck in his cab. Prisoner replied that he had not, that the duck was gone over the fence, and that if witness went there he would find it. Witness examined the cab, and finding the duck under the seat, took prisoner in charge. The owner of the duck having identified it, Mr. Arnold said—Prisoner, I was disposed at first to pay some regard to your statement that you had taken up the duck to prevent its being worried by the dog ; but you seem to have carried your charity too far, and, when asked by the constable, denied that you had got the duck, and said it was gone over a fence. Prisoner—Yes, I did; and I am sorry far it. Mr. Arnold—You are remanded till Tuesday. RAILTVAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN. The report of the directors to the shareholders for special general meeting, to be held on July 3, states that tbey have deemed it necessary to call their proprietors together, to consult with them on the question of the proposed pur chase of the railway between Petersfield and Midhurst. This line was authorised by Parliament in 1860. It is 104 miles in length, starting from the Petersfield station on the London and South Western (Portsmouth) line, and running eastward to ktidhurst, where it unites with the Mid-Sussex lines, which are in the hands of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company. The capital autho rised by the Act of Incorporation, 23 and 14 Vic., cap. 173, is £lOO,OOO. The shares of the Petersfield Railway Com pany are to be transferred into the names of parties nomi nated by the directors of this company ; and the directors of the Petersfield Company will concur in the appointment of a board of directors, nominated by the South-Western Board. The sum of £18,040 being paid for the shares aheady issued and for the works executed under the certi ficate of this company's engineer, together with £B,OOO to the directors of the Petersfield Railway, in discharge of the liabilities of that company, other than those under the contracts for the construction of the line—the last-men tioned sum being paid, the one half at the same time as the £19,040 before-mentioned, and the other half on the ap proval of the Board of Trade on the completion of the works. The works have already been commenced, and the con- tractors are prepared to push them on with rapidity, and to complete them in a year's time. The line is to be con structed for a single lino of railway, but with land and masonry for a double line should it hereafter be found neces sary. The contract for the whole of the works, land, &c. (stations alone excepted), has been taken on terms which will make the total cost to this company (including the above-mentioned sums of £18,040 and £8,000) £106,000. BOMBAY, BARODA, AND CENTRAL INDIA. The report of the directors of this company, to be held on the 30th June, states that at the commencement of the half year there were 1091 miles open to public traffic, at the close of the half-year 132/ miles—the average during the half year being 1242 miles. The total receipts for the half-year were R 5.237,001 Ha.; the expenditure amounted to R 5.119,860 15a. 5p,, leaving an available balance of R 5.117,140 1 la. 7p. A despatch has been received at Cherbourg, an nouncing the approaching arrival in that port of Said Pasha, Viceroy of Jgypt.

Mr. LAYARD said that her Majesty's Government had not received any information from China up to the 28th of April last, and therefore he could not tell his honourable and gallant friend whether any such supply of military munitions had taken place. Any munitions of war not re quired by her Majesty's Government might be sold to the Chinese Government at cost price. V/itil regard to the last question, he believed that no persons were imprisoned in Canton inlconsequence of their connection with the allies. THE FORTIFICATION BILL. In reply to Sir S. NORTHCOTE, Sir G. LEWIS said that he thought he ought to supply the house with the earliest and fullest information in his power with regard to this bill. He would take care to lay on the table to-morrow the accounts of the expenditure which had been incurred, and which he believed had been circulated amongst the members of the house already. As regarded the bill he proposed to proceed with the second reading on Monday. TRANSFER OF LAND BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. Clauses up to 112 were agreed to, after a short discussion, with some amendments. On clause 113, which related to the appointment of ex aminers of titles under the provision of the bill, a discussion arose, in the course of which it was contended by the oppo nents of the clause, that persons appointed to such offices should have special knowledge of conveyancing as an in dispensable guarantee of their efficiency. In reply to this and other exceptions to the previsions of the bill, The SOLICITOR. GENERAL said it was impossible to say at present what would be the extent of the establishment that would be required to carry out the provisions of the bill. The establishment would be supported by fees which would be paid into the consolidated fund, and checks were imposed to prevent the appointment of unnecessary officers or the incurring of extravagant expenditure. The clause was agreed to. Certain other clauses were postponed, the remaining ones were agreed to, and the Chairman reported progress. The house next resolved itself into a committee on the Declaration of Title Bill. Some of the clauses of this mea sure were postponed, the others were agreed to, and the Chairman reported progress. The Petroleum Bill and the Harbours Transfer Bill passed through committee. The house was counted out at five minutes past eight o'clock. .RIFLE SHOOTING.

STATE OF THE POLL-TWO O'CLOCK THIS DAY. Jones Lawrence . Nissen .... THE FRENCH EXHIBITORS AND PRINCE NAPOLEON. The principal exhibitors of the articles of French industry, impressed with the idea that the visit of Prince Napoleon to this country ought not under existing circumstances to be allowed to pass by without a public recognition on their part, last night entertained his Imperial Highness at a magnificent banquet in the refreshment routs of the Great International Exhibition, when upwards of 300 gentlemen sat down to a feast of the most recherche character, the wines for which were sup plied from the cellars of the principal exhibitors of French produce. In an English entertainment of a like character, the principal guest of the evening would take his seat at the right of the president ; but our Gallic neighbours, in a refinement of etiquette which we can scarcely understand, place the invited in the position of the principal inviter, and therefore the banquet last night was presided over by Prince Napoleon, who was supported by a prefect, a body of men honoured with the Cross of the Legion of Honour, and by Earl Granville, the President of the Commissioners of the International Exhibition. Prince NAPOLEON, in proposing the first toast, said he had to call upon his fellow•countrymen at present resident in England to show that they duly appreciated the excellence of the rules under which they were living. It was, however, im possible to glance at the present position of Queen Victoria without a deep feeling of regret at the loss which not only the English nation but the people at large had sustained in the death of his Royal Highness the late Prince Consort. The toast was most enthusiastically received. Earl GRANVILLE returned thanks, and on behalf of the Commissioners of the Exhibition gave expres sion to the feelings of gratitude which animated them towards the Emperor of the French for the material aid which he had afforded them in rendering as per fect as possible the Great International Exhibition. He hoped his Imperial Majesty would not rest con tented with a second-hand account of all that was to be seen, but would, accompanied by the Empress, soon come to this country to witnes the Exhibition, and feel a legitimate pride at the high position oc cupied in it by the French exhibitors. (Hear hear.) In conclusion he would give them the toast " Vive l'Em pereur !" (Cheers.) _ _ The toast having been duly responded to, M. CARL, President of the Committee of the In ternational Exhibitors, on his own behalf and on the behalf of those who acted with him, presented an address of welcome to his Imperial Highness, and assured him of the gratification which they ail felt at being honoured by his attendance on the pie sent occasion. Prince NAPOLEON returned thanks. He thought he said, that so much progress had been made in re gard to the holding of international exhibitions that it was now impossible to go back. He hoped next year to see a building like the present erected in Paris for a similar purpose, and that Englishmen would be found to act as the French had now acted, and agree to do all in their power to make the com ing exhibition a success. Earl GRANVILLE then proposed " Success to the forthcoming Exhibition at Paris," and stated his belief that there were no means so efficient for bind ing nation to nation as organisations of this kind. M. ROULIER, Minister of Public Works and Agriculture, proposed " The Union of France and England," a toast which was most enthusiastically received. The proceedings then terminated in the usual manner. The saloon was elegantly decorated for the occasion, flags being tastefully suspended from one side cf the apartment. A. band of music played at intervals Partant pour la Syrie," and other popular French airs. The whole affair passed off most satisfactorily. MARKETS---THIS DAY. SHIPPING---THIS DAY.

I did not intend speaking to you ab out it, but I shell now give you some particulars of my capture. Robbers in Mexico do not answer in any way to the idea which we have of robbers in Europe. Here, when a man is bold and enterprising, and though he may possess som fortune, he embraces no other profession than that of robber on a large scale. Once head of a band, each political party pays him c ourt, bids high for his friend ship, and tries to win him over to its side. To this he willingly accedes, forihe always prefers the party of rebellion in order to enjoy more liberty. E ve ry day that passes we see the most famous robbers and assassins receive the favour of the Government, who pardon them their crimes on condi tion that they sh all not make war on th em. The existing G o vernment, whic h is termed Liberal,' has the u nen viable honour of protecting them openly, and thesebands of robbers are the moat faithful supporters o of the Constitu tion, the liberties of the people, &I d c. not exaggerate no ag other gerate w hen I say that five or six gener a l s o f division h cer tificates of service to sh ow th an these crimes, which have made them so notorious that, disdaining to be called cap tains, they were perf orce ma d e genera l s — t h e more 6 as their bands numbered from 2,000 to 3,000 men, The part of the country I live in is one of the richest, and, conse qu-ntly, one where the robbers are in greeter numbers. The brigands, after plundering for two or three veers in the name of the Con s ti tu ti on, h ave i nven ted a new branch of industry, called by them holding to ransom.' On Thurs day, the ISt:te of April last year, at 2 o'clock in the after noon, seven robbers entered a property where there were more than 200 workmen ; they seized everything they could le ,y hands on, and carried me off on horseback. There were hat seven of them—not a man more. At this very mo ment they furnish the guard of honour to the Governor of the State. My capture was the 55th of the same kind. I was carried away to the mountains, about 10 leagues from the property, and, after having passed five days in various caverns, and as many nights in the open air, I only re^ covered my liberty on paying down a ransom of 2,700 piasters. I omit many other particulars, which would ap pear to you impossible."

MARK LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale here this morning, though small, was somewhat larger than on the last few market days. Owing to the favourable change in the weather, there was decidedly less firmness in the trade, and Monday's quotations were barely supported. The show of foreign wheat was tolerably extensive, and the demand was in a sluggish state on rather easier terms for inferior qualities. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at late currencies. The trade for barley ruled steady, and prices were fairly maintained. _ ._ Malt changed hands to a fair average extent at full quo- tations, Good and fine oats moved off steadily at quite previous rates ; otherwise the oat trade was dull on former terms. Beans and peas were disposed of at the extreme prices of Monday. The supply on offer was small. The flour trade was steady. In the quotations no change took place. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley.
