RUMOURED CHANGE OF FASHION.—A report has been current for some days, in well-informed circles, that the preposterous framework of hoops and cages, 'which has long been in use to extend female dress to extravagant dimensions, under the name of cr inoline, is going out of fashion in Paris. We sincerely trust that this rumour is true. English society takes its tone from Parisian; and good taste has too long been outraged by the social nui sance, not to say the social evil, crinoline.—Pun ch.

The Lord Chancellor was of opinion that the residue of the testator's property was diviseablo into four portions—one portion was to be taken by Jane, one portion by Mary ; one portion to Anne, and one por tion to Elizabeth inter se, and as tenants in common ; and that the second subdivision is to their lawful issue respec tively.

JUDGMENT-GERRARD V. FRANKEL. His Honourthe Master of tle Rolls said—This bill was filed to rectify a mistake constituted by inserting in the lease of a house in Oxford• street for 14 or 21 years a sum for rent of £l3O instead of £230. His Honour, on consider ing the evidence on both sides, came to the conclusion that the mistake was accidental, and must be reformed. His honour decreed that if the defendant elected to take the lease she must pay as rent £239 per annum, under a new lease, and deliver up the original documents to be cancelled, and pay occupation rent at that rate, and set off the expense of fitting up and repairs against the rent. As the house and shop have been burned down, the insurance will stand in place of the premises. And that the mortgagees or assignees shall have a claim for their mortgage and costs against the plaintiff or defendant, according to the result of her election. If the parties cannot agree within:l4 days, allow the case to be mentioned to his honour at Chambers. No costs of suits against the defendants. 99 100 Ilk 111 Ok 95 98 88 02 99 100 t:2 94 .90 92 6 7 all f 100 15 all 100 4 6 101 102 i I 94 98 MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SERREL AND BAMFORD. This was tt petition of the hwband, a solicitor, praying for a divorce on the ground of his wife's adultery with Captain Bamford, who was respondent in the suit heard yesterday, in which hie wife obtained a decree of judicial separation. The respondent pleaded denial, and that the husband bad condor , / '-to her misconduct. 'Sbe pleaded also tnai tho marriage was null, and prayed the court on that ground to dissolve her marriage, The co-respondent simply denied the allegations of the petitioner, Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Dr. Swabey appeared for the petitioner; and Dr. Deane, Q.C-, and Dr. Spinks for the respondent. The parties were married in February, 1854, at which time the petitioner was 30, and the respondent, whose maiden name was Rigby, 20 years of age. They had no children, but according to the allegations in the petition, they lived happily until the year 1860, when she became intimate with Captain Bamford, who was a cousin of the petitioner. The alleged elopement took place, and Captain Bamford and Mrs. Sorrel lived together as man and wife. Major Robert Cumming was examined by Dr. Phißimers, and stated that he had known the petitioner and his wife for about 15 years. He identified the handwriting of both in the marriage register, and that of Mrs. Serrel in the letter produced. He had been in the habit of visiting them frequently, and during the last seven years they resided at No. 101, Gloucester-terrace , Hyde-park, and they were . on very happy terms. Benjamin Henry Lee was examined by Dr, Swabey, and deposed that he had lived in the seiviee of Mr. Serrel from the end of July, 1858, till January, 1861. He knew Captain Bamford and his wife, who were in the habit of visit ing at Mr. Serrel's, at Lower Norwood, and resided at South Norwood, which was about half a mile distant. Mr. Serrel generally went to business about ten o'clock in the morning, and returned about six o'clock in the evening. During his absence Captain Bamford sometimes came to the house alone. This was in 1860, and Mr. and Mrs. Serrel remained about three weeks at Lower Norwood. Mrs. Serrel went to Brighton, and she and her husband returned to Gloucester-terrace in October, 1869. Capt. Bamford visited her there, and on these occa sions he used to remain with her longer than when she was taying at Norwood. Mrs. Serrel gave him a note for Capt. Bamford, which he delivered. That was about Christ mas, 1860. After that Mr. Sorrel gave him a letter, ad dressed to Captain Bamford, which he also delivered, and on that occasion Captain Bainford said, " Mrs. Sorrel wishes me to come, but Mr. Serrel says I am not to go. What am Itodo ?" After that Cap tain Bamford visited Mrs. Serrel as before. He had seen them go out together more than once. Mr. Serrel kept a They frequently met Captain c ar riage, and he (witne ss) someti mes accompanied Mrs. Sorrel gedto Bamford, when leaveu and he reached home. On one occa sion, when Captain Bam ford was at the house, Air. Sorrel s h it e before drove wa s generallythey out. into the carriage, but taken returned home to lunch, and Captain Bamford went up stairs. He afterwards came down and remained in the pantry, and then went into the bedroom of witness, which aojoined it, and said he could wait there until it was dark. - Ho used to take up candles to Mee. Sorrel's drawing-room, and on one occasion he found the door locked. He knew that Captain Bamford and Mrs. Serrel were in the room, and ho knocked at the door, but receiver ua answer. lie placed tho candles down and went down stairs, and in about five minutes- afterwards be heard the door unlocked. He went up and took the candles in. Mrs. Sorrel was lying on the sofa, and Captain Bamford was standing at the window. That was about December, 1860. Mrs. Sorrel left home about the latter end of that month or the commencement of January, 1861. He was then discharged with the rest of the servants. He always considered Mr. Sorrel kind and affectionate to his wife. Mary Ann Holmes stated that she was in service with Mr. Sorrel in February, 18G3, and remained at his house for about 11 months. She went with him and Mrs. Sorrel to Lower Norwood in 1860, and afterwards accompanied - Mrs. Sorrel to Brighton, where she was visited by Captain Bamford. Mr. Sorrel came occasionally to Brighton. She had seen Mrs. Sorrel and Certain Bamford at lunch there together, and one day he called and saw Mrs. Sorrel while she was ill. He was in the habit of visiting her when she returned to Glocester-terrace. On the morning of the elope ment she came down stairs dressed for going out, and Cap tain Bamford said she was going to see her sister. They left together. She had not told Mr. Serrel anything about Captain Bamford's visits. Jesse Seymour,who was examined in the case of "Bam ford v. Bamford," repeated his evidence, which was to the effect that Captain Bumford and Mrs. Sorrel were living at his hotel at Pangbourno as man and wife, for about two months. Proof was then given as to tie witness having identified Captain Bamford and Mrs. Send as being the parties who had been staying at his house in 1 9 61, which closed the petitioner's case. Medical evidence was given to sustain' the respondent's plea, but it failed to establish th 3 charge of mental incom petency, and the Court pronouiced the decree nisi with coats agaimt the co-respondent.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE FRANIITK. In this case an adjudication had been made by the re gistrar, and to-day was appointed for his last examination, but ho had not filed any account. Mr. Sorrell said that the adjudication had been against the will of the bankrupt, who, whatever he might suffer himself by delay, was anxious that his estate should be made ,available for the benefit of his creditors generally, and not be held by one. He (kir. Sorrell) therefore had to apply that the adjudication should be annulled. His Honour said the question was whether the court could review the adjudication of the registrar. Mr. Sorrell—lf your honour cannot, no doubt you will enlarge the time for surrender. Eventually, no doubt, the bankruptcy will be annulled. His Honour— That is a questionable matter ; but have I the power to enlarge the time? Mr. Sorrell—l submit your honour can do that. Here is ono creditor bolding possession onan alleged right, which is disputed. The bankrupt is only anxious to protect his creditors generally.

MURDER IN YORKSIIIRE.—Tco men, weavers, from Brompton, Northallerton, YorKshire, wero proceed ing along a street in the latter place on their way home, after having been drinking, when me of them named Todd called out to a watchmalzr named Metcalfe, " What o'clock is it ?" Metcalfe, who was drunk, re plied, " Pll let you know what o'clockit is, and disappeared up a passage. Presently the weavers turned round, and saw Metcalfe with a gun pointed at tam. It was fired, and Parker fell, shot in the arm. On medical assistance being procured, the shot was extr , cted ; the wounded man, how ever, became insensible, and the nextmorning, as the only chance of saving his life, the shattered limb was amputated. H e expired 10 minutes after the operadon. As soon as the shot was fired, Todd rushed upon the murderer, and a ter rible struggle ensued. The gun was double-barrelled, and Todd asserts that the murderer tried to get the muzzle against him, in order to draw the other trigger. A man named Walker, who lives in the same passage as Metcalfe, heard the report of a gun, and ran out. He met Metcalfe with a gun in his hands, asked him what was the matter, and was answered, " I've been ill-used by two Brompton men, but I've let them know." The prisoner was brought up before the magistrates on Monday, and committed to take his trial for wilful murder at the ensuing assizes. It appears that once when the prisoner was poaching he was heard to say, when levelling his gun at a hare, " Good evening, Miss Pussey, lat you know what o'clock it is," and since then has been taunted with the words, THIRTY-FOURTHDAY. The Master this morning took his seat on the bench at eleven o'clock. The Master said he was very unwell from the fatigue of tending to so very long a case. The foreman of the jury sail they wore quite ready to proceed. Sir H. Cairns said he must protest against Mr. Windham being examined in a closed court. He was most anxious that Mr. Windham should be examined openly. The Master mentioned Armstrong's case. Sir H. Cairns said he did not wish to discuss the matter. All he desired was to renew his protest. The Master said that last night he had informed the jury that they would be allowed to put questions to Mr. Windham in a friendly way—it would be merely a friendly interview. It was then arranged that the examination of Mr. Wind ham should take place, from which all strangers were ordered to withdraw. It was at about 20 minutes to 11 when Mr. Windham was introduced. He was questioned upon all matters which were brought out in evidence, on the places he had been to, his early life, his tutors, his acquain tance with Agnes Willoughby, his marriage, his and her subsequent conduct, the jewels, &c. It is reported ho answered all the questions put to him unhesitatingly, and in a perfectly coherent manner. At the time we went to press Mr. Windham was still under examination. The decision of the jury, in the event of its being given in time, will appear in our late edition, POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) NOVEL APPLICATION.— A young man applied this morning to Mr. Tyrwhitt for his advice. He st.id that he had made a wager with a person about the great foot race of Deerfoot's, when he ran a dead heat, and, as all bets in consequence were off, he wished to know how he was to get the money (a) back, as the person refused to give it up. Mr. Tyrwhitt told the applicant that it was no use for him to come to him to ask such a question, and the appli cant withdrew. ROBBERY AT AN ARTISTS' COLOURMAN'S.—John Nagle, errand boy to Mesers. Barnard, artists' colourman, of Oxford-o*Pa , w.. charged with stealing 24 cakes of water-colour paint froin his employeti. It appears that a boy named Laramy, bearing of the robbery, and having bought some paints of the prisoner, went and informed Mr. Barnard, and the prisoner was then taken into custody. Prisoner said the boy in Messrs. Barnard's employ had told him to take some of the paint, and given him some of the others. Mr. Barnard said he did not believe what the prisoner said about the other boy. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would remand the prisoner, and the other boy had better attend and give an explanation for his own sake.

A CONFEDERATE ARMY ORDER.—The following order was found by Capt. C. 0. Boutelle, of the Vixen, in the camp at Rockwell, on the North Edisto River, last month :—" General Orders (No. 2). Headquarters, Coo sawhatchie, South Carolina, Nov. 27, 1861. 1. In conse quence of the general scarcity of ammunition the General Commanding desires to impress upon the commanders of regiments and corps the absolute necessity of economising the supplies they have on hand to the utmost extent. To this end the guards will not be allowed to load their pieces unless in the actual presence of the enemy, or in danger of surprise ; and all hunting parties will be strictly forbidden to use the public ammunition. Each soldier will be held strictly accountable for the number of rounds issued to him, and company officers are directed to make constant inspec tion of the cartridge boxes and their magazines, in order to assure themselves that there is no improper wastage. 2. The Commanding General has also learnt that the arms issued to some of the regiments are not of uniform calibre, and consequently there has been some disproportion in the corresponding ammunition. As this might not improbably prove a fatal error, it is strictly enjoined upon all com manders to give a careful personal examination of all re quisitions for ammunition, and also to superintend the dis tribution of the same to the men. 3. The attention of the troops in this department is called to the evil practice of tearing down fences and other private property for firewood and other purposes. All interference with the rights of citizens is highly injurious in its tendency, and is strictly forbidden. The General hopes that it will only bo neces sary to remind the troops that they are citizens as well as soldiers, and that, as they take up arms to repel the enemy from our soil, they should be still more careful to preserve it from their own depredations. Prompt and severe punish ment will fellow all irregularities of this nature in fatal tare, and it is strictly enjoined upon all officers to see to the her execution of this order.

HARTLEY COLLIERY RELIEF FUND.-1) tiring yesterday the subscriptions for the sufferers by the late ac cident at Hartley Colliery continued to pour in at the Mansion-house, if anything to a greater extent than on the previous day. The total amount received during the day was £l,lOO. Subscription lists have been opened in Liver pool for the purpose of affording the people of that town an opportunity of contributing to the fund. A very conside able amount has already been subscribed, and as the sym pathy with the poor people is universal, there is every pro bability of a large sum being collected. EXECUTION OF Two CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS . The Centreville correspondent of the Richmond Difiatakt) writing on the 11th, says :—" On Monday, at 11 o'cloc two soldiers belonging to the Tiger Rifles w e re shot by order of General Johnson, after having been tried by court martial and convicted. The two unfortunate men were found guilty of striking an officer whiletheir endeavouring to p r event their rescuing a p risoner then in custody.

As the hour of execution arrived some 10,00 D or 15,000 soldiers arrived upon the ground, and were formd on three sides of the spot selected.

Then came a moment of breathless suspense, and the next the bullets of their comrades sent their souls into eternity. Both were b u ried near the spot of their i gnom i n i ous d ea th, an d accord ing to the rites of the Catholic Church. The most affecting part of the scene was immediately following the discharge of musketry. One of the men had a brother in the crowd, who, before the smoke of the volley cleared from the spot, ran to his side and supported him as his life-blood ebbed away, and felt the last quiver of mortality as the soldier's body fell into his arras." ... 17 • •• 18 • •• 27 ... 21 ... 24 ... 24 ... 29 ... 22 z' ... 30 . • • 24 •J• 25 ... 20 LONDON, BRIGDTON, AND SOUIII CO d Sl' R. 2111; lIALF-YEAIiLY MEETING (THIS DAY). The ordinary halt-yearly meeting of the directors and shareholders %VI1:3 held this day, for the purpose of receiving; the report of the board of directors and transacting thq ordinary business of the company. The directors report, which appeared in The Sun of thet 23d inst., having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, proceeded to notice its most prominent points. The amount of capital raised to the 31st December amounted to £10,147,7 86-, consisting of ordinary stock, £4,620,000; preference stocl and shares, £3,235,765; mortgaged debt, £1,537,31 5 and debenture stock, £754,706. The amount 0E capital expended during the half - year amounted to £233,492. It was a matter of satisfaction that none of tue renewals or replacements of mortgage bonds had been, effected at a rate higher than 4 per cent., while the average rate on tho debt had been reduced to £4 2s. per cent. Thei gross revenue for the half-year had been £526,741, show irig an increase of £21,472 over the corresponding half year of 1860 ; £10,193 of which arose from an increase in the , carrying of goods, and the remainder from coaching and other departments. Comparing the revenue for the year, with that of 1860, there was an excess of £52,240. Having congratulated the shareholders on the financial position of the company, the chairman remarked that circumstances had occurred in the early part of the half year which in terfered with the pleasure traffic on their line, and which, taken into consideration will the general depression oK trade, had affected them like other lines; but it was a matter of great satisfaction that the directors could still present the shareholders a report which he felt would be considered by all highly satisfactory. The year 1862 had commenced favourably, and the continuance of peace, together with the approaching grand International Exhibition, justified all in the expectation that there would be a great increase to report- to the share-, holders at their next meeting. The southern portion of flat) line from Shoreham to Horsham was opened on the Ist of July, and the remainder early in September, while the Croydon and Balham line, and the enlargement of the Brighton terminus, would shortly be completed, as well as the goods station on the West-End line and Battersea wharf, at which latter point the corapany had a large extent of ground, and a considerable traffic in connection with the river was fully expected. The directors looked forward with great expectation to the completion of the line &mil Pulborongh to Ford and Littlehampton, more particularly as at Littiehampton there was en excellent harbour, whi c h would afford an improved route for the traffic of the Channel Islands and the adjacent coast of France. The compa r iy had two bills in Parliament, one for a line from near th e Bricklayers' Arms, passing through Peckham and Dulwich, and joining the west end line near Lower Nerwood, and the other for enlarging the London .bridge Station. The whole of the works were in the best condition and completeness, and the directors recommend that a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent , amounting to £161,700 be paid, leaving a ba lance of £2,425 to the credit of the current half-year, and making the dividend for the year 1861 amount to 6 per cent. solutions adopting the report and resolutions of thu directors were agreed to, and the proceedings terminatedt RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. RAILWAY BILLS. Y esterd ay the following Bills were declared to have com plied with the standing orders of both Houses of Parlia- meta : - LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST.—To enlarge the London-bridge station on its south-western side in Horselydown ; to enlarge the accommodation of their brick layers' Arms station ; to provide steamboats between France and England, and raise £350,000 by new shares, and bor row £116,000. MID-KENT.—To vest in the Mid-Kent part of the Farn borough Extension and the whole of the Crays line. GREAT NORTHERN.—To acquire additional lands for station accommodation at Doncaster. EAST GLOCESTERSHIRE.—For new railways from Chel tenham to Farringdon and Bourt on-on-the-Water ; to raise £600,000 and borrow £200,000. TOTTENHAM AND HAMPSTEAD.—For a line from the Hampstead Junction Railway to !he Eastern Counties at Tottenham, and a branch from the Great Northern at Hornsey; to raise £160,000 in shares and £53,300 on loan. The other Bills passed were for the Kettering and Thrap ston, and a capital of £106,000, in which case the standing orders were declared not complied with ; the Whitchurch, Wrexham and Mold, and Connach's Quay Junction, at a cost of £240,000 ; the Leadburn, Linton, and Dolphinton, in the county of Peebles, at a cast of .X. 53,000; the North British and Carlisle and Silloth Bay, to lease the latter to the former; the North Devon and Okehampton, at the estimated cost of £130,000, and £43,000 loan. The Bognor, Chichester, and Midhurst Bill was with drawn. ELECTRIC AND INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPH The directors of this company state in their report that the result of the eventful six months just closed is, on the whole, satisfactory. During the last six weeks of the year the introduction of the shilling rate between London, Bir mingham, Liverpool, Manchester, and other places, which was forced on the company; has destroyed all profit on those circuits. The receipts of the laBt half-year exceed those of the corresponding period of 1860 to the extent of £4,140. The expenses show little variation. The result is a net profit of £37,777 against £25,117 in Dec., 1860. A. divi dend for the half•year of £3 10s. per cent., now recom mended, will absorb £28,075, with a surplus of £8,802 to be added as usual . to the fund for the renewal of the sub marine cables, leaving untouched the balance of £6,362 from previous working to be carried to the credit of next account. The renewal fund, with interest, will then amount to £50,545. The Board have entered into a contract with Messrs. Glass and Elliott to make and lay an additional and greatly improved cable, with four wires, between Eng land aid Holland, for the sum of £56,000. THE SCOTTISH HOSPITAL. An adjourned general meeting of the governors of this charity was held yesterday in the Corporation Hall, Crane court, Fleet-street, for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee appointed to ascertain the amount of the late secretary's defalcations, and considering the stops no cessary to be taken under present circumstances. Lord ELCHO having been voted to the chair, briefly ex- , plained the circumstances under which they were assem bled, and called upon Dr. Liddell to read the report of the special committee on the late secretary's accounts. LIDDYAL accordingly did so. It stated that, with the assistance of a professional accountant, Mr. Thomas Kennedy, who had carefully investigated the whole of the accounts from the year 1843, when Major Adair was ap• pointed secretary, down to the end of 1861, when he resigned, they had found that the total amount of stock belonging to the corporation on 30th Nov. last was £41,250, while there was cash in hand and in the Bank of England belonging to the hospital £5Bl, and to the school fund £91135. 3d. They had also found, from a careful examination of the books, certain deficiencies on the part of the secretary, commenc ing in the year 1848, and continuing down to last year, amounting to a total of £2,004 2s. 7d. on the hospital fund, which, with a deficiency of £47 Bs. 9d. on the school h in e g a s m o o f u t n t t e to la f t l, m B4 e 6 et l il l i s g . , 4odn. theln fwuhnidc,hmhaadde tothebetdoteadlucdteefideaiensucym£.2f,o£s2losll;sr.eftnd.d, ebdutbyfrtohme reduced ce s ed e e c dl r secretary had been furnished with tclsli.'llirsdeeetilatuarsiyetanlns, 7 . : i hoti t fch h hte e h s r eel e apd d t eficiencies, and he was understood to acknowledge them to be correct, but no proposition had been made for their adjustment ; and it had been stated to the committee, that in consequence of the course adopted by certain governors, in their private capacity, against him, his family would come under no legal obli gations respecting them. The bond of security lodged by Major Adair for the faithful discharge of his duties was for a sum of £5OO. Tho committee had thus fulfilled the pledges given by them as to making a thorough inves tigation into the state of matters, and they regretted to find the defalcations amount to so large a sum. Mr. Deputy FARRAR next mad the rcport of the com mittee appointed t in o te t d h t e e K in i q n u io ir ch e into run Md,sjwohriAch stated that the dair's deficien c i es in nmoruesift of ee stock in the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities belonging to that fund was £47,860, and that the total amount of the major's deficiencies in connection with it v, as £1,071 18s., which the committee considered arose in a great measure from powers of attorney being granted, en abling the secretary to sell out more stock than was re quired to defray the liabilities upon the fund. The total a mount of Major Adair's deficiencies on the hospital and Kinloch funds was, therefore, £2,912 9s. 4d. The reports having been unanimously received, Mr. LOMB moved the appointment of a committee to take into consideration the present position of the corpora tion, and to report as to what alterations they considered necessary in its working or constitution. The motion having been seconded, Sir GEORGE CLERK deprecated any change in the con stitution of the corporation. He thought that if they limited the labours of the committee to the consideration of the bye-laws, and the framing of them so as to secure them against such a system being adopted in future, ehey would be doing a great benefit to the institution. After some further discussion, Mr. Locke altered his motion to suit the views of Sir George Clerk and 10r. Donaldson, when it was unanimously adopted. The following noblemen and gentlemen were then ap pointed as a committee :—The Duke of Buccleuch, the Duke of Argyll, Sir George Clerk, Mr. Beattie, Mr. F ran cis Bennoch, Dr , George Webster , Mr. Burrell,, Patrick Robertson, Mr. Donald Nicol, Dr. Liddell,.
