AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The Inman steamship City of New York has ar rived with advices from New York of the 25th ult., and 868,784 dols. in specie. A despatch of the 24th from Cincinnati says : I have it on good authority that the Governors of the loyal States are to assemble in convention at Washington in the early part of next week for the purpose— us to arraign and denounce the recent Emancipa tion Proclamation of the President as n wise in policy and bad in principle.

If you open this Pandora box, when will the evils end ? The Constitution is full of compromises, adjusted by our fathers. If you begin to undo, when will you stop P Read the Constitution yourself, and see what would be the result if all the questions settled there are to be opened again for adjustment. God knows that I want to serve my country. I count my life as , nothing if I could serve the nation. Have we less interest than you Radicals have in the country P We, who governed this nation for 80 years, raising it to the highest pinnacle of prosperity, do not pre tend to be better than you or wiser than you. But we are not disposed to make rash experiments —to deviate from the ways of the past, on which the nation has marched on to its renown. I im plore you, before you listen to the teachings of men who ask you to throw away this Constitution, that you will think how many good things it guarantees to you —among them the supremacy of the judiciary over the Legislature. Look at these questions for yourselves. You have more interest in the Constitution than the whole South put together. The speaker then referred to the higher law-men of the South. They would have the bayonet and the bullet. We must therefore settle with them by the bayonet and the bullet. (Applause.) They elected to finish the dispute in blood, and the sword must be the arbiter. In our strong right arm it must strike true blows for the country and the flag. I would that my voice could be heard through the Southern States. I would say—mistake not the triumphs of the Conservatives at the North. We battled for the real rights of the South years ago. But that was because we loved the Constitution. Therefore it is that we tell the South that this great Conservative party will rebuild the shattered columns of the Constitution, and from its summit shall wave the nation's flag, with every stripe and every star upon it. In conclusion, he said that he would never consent to a dismemberment of the Union as long as he had a voice to speak or a hand to raise in behalf of the glorious Union." The Hon. John Van Buren spoke as follows : " The Democratic party demanded a vigorous prosecution of the war. Let the army march forward and take Richmond. That is a natural resting-place. It is not necessary to conquer any man in the South. To take Richmond will be to defeat the South. If there are people who want to advance beyond that let them go. For one, I should want to stop there for a while. Let the Abolitionists go on if they choose. I would say, Gadant Greeley, advance!' (Laughter.) Forward the black brigade !' (Con tinued laughter.) Penetrate the country to South Carolina, and stay there.' (Roars of laughter.) He thought that a convention coming together now— the South and North having learnt that each is a Power worthy of its steel—would decide to live under the Constitution as it is—or let us define exactly what it is, and then let us agree that it shall require a unanimous consent of all the States to make any alteration on the subject of slavery. He believed that the border States would adhere to the 19 free States. We should then have more than double the number of States which entered upon the war of the Revolution, It is possible that the cotton raising States might stay out and set up a one horse republic. He depicted the hard time that they would have of it. One week's calm reflection would show any Southern citizen that its existence depended on keeping with the North. If the ques tion was whether the war should be carried on by arming the slaves—he for one would say No ! And he believed that, in such a contingency, it would be the duty of foreign nations to interfere, to prevent such an outrage on humanity. (Cheers.) But, first, last, and always, he was for his country, and against her enemies. He reiterated his statement that the present Republiean Government was the worst Go vernment on the face of the earth, and ex pressed his readiness to go to Fort Lafayette for that opi nion." From the Potomac we have the following ad vices : " Headquarters, Army of the Potomac, Thursday, Oct. 23. time given, and also of the restrictions and precau tions to be observed by our squadrons and cruisers. It is essential in the remarkable contest now waging, that We should exercise great forbearance with great firmness, and manifest to the world that it is the intention of our Government, while asserting and maintaining our own rights, to respect and scrupulously regard the rights of others. It is in this view that the following instructions are ex plicitly given "1. That you will exercise constant vigilance to prevent supplies of arms, munitions, and con traband of war front being conveyed to the insur gents ; but that under no circumstances will you seize any vessel within the waters of a friendly nation. "2. That, while diligently exercising the right of visitation on all suspected vessels, you are in no case authorised to chase and fire at a foreign vessel without showing your colours and giving her the customary preliminary notice of a desire to speak and visit her. "3. That when that visit is made, the vessel is not then to be seized without a search carefully mr:de, so far as to render it reasonable to believe that she is engaged in carrying contraband of war for or to the insurgents, and to their ports directly, or indirectly by transhipment, or otherwise violat ing the blockade; and that if after visitation and search it shall appear to your satisfaction that she is in good faith and without contraband, actually bound and passing from one friendly or so.called neutral port to another, and not bound or proceed ing to or from a port in the possession of the insur gents, then she cannot be lawfully seized. "4. That to avoid difficulty and error in relation to papers which strictly belong to the captured vessel, and mails that are carried, or parcels under official seals, you will, in the words of the law, pre serve all the papers and writings found on board, and transmit the whole of the originals, unmuti lated, to the judge of the district to which such prize is ordered to proceed.' But official seals, or locks, or fastenings of foreign authorities are in no case, nor on any preterit, to be broken, or parcels covered by them read by any naval authorities ; but all bags or other things covering such parcels, and duly sealed or fastened by foreign authorities, will be, in the discretion of the United States officer to whom they may come, delivered to the Consul, com manding naval officer, or Legation of the foreign Government, to be opened, upon the understanding that whatever is contraband or important as evi dence concerning the character of a captured vessel will be remitted to the Prize Court or to the Secre tary of State at Washington, or such sealed bags or parcels may be at once forwarded to this Depart ment, to the end that the proper authorities of the foreign Government may receive the same without delay. " You are specially informed that the fact that a suspicious vessel has been indicated to you :la cruis ing in any limit which has been prescribed by the Department does not in any way authorise you to depart from the practice of the rues of visitation, search, and capture prescribed by the law of na tions.--Very respectfully, " GIDEON WELLES, Secretary of the Navy." Richmond papers reported the presence there of John Mitchell, two of whose sons were in the Con federate army. On the 7th ult. a Federal steamer blew up at New Orleans, and 12 persons lost their lives. Key West advices of the 15th ult. state that Admiral Dupont was about to attack Mobile and Charleston. The mortar fleet at Pensacola had re ceived sailing orders. On the 19th ult. a Federal cruiser captured the British schooner Adelaide near Wilmington. The captured vessel got aground, and was destroyed. 713 E COLLISION ON 7118 NORTH- EASTERN JAIL WAY. hitherto possessed solely by the iloatd of Trade, was now vested in the court before which inquiries like the present were held, Henry William Sieball, the chief officer of the Lima, was then called, and stated that the course steered on the night preceding and morning of the wreck was that laid down by the master. Captain Peacock, who had commanded on the same coast from 1840 to 1846, was also called and examined as to the courses steered by him during that period, and at the conclusion of his evidence it was announced that the inquiry wou:d be adjourned until Saturday. "Yesterday Captain Duncan made a reconnais sance to Hedgesville with two squadrons of the 4th Pennsylvania Cavalry,numbering 140 men. Hedges ville is seven miles north-west of Martinsburg, and one mile from North Mountain, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Capt. Duncan drove the rebel pickets into the town, and then charged the main body of the rebels, taking 19 prisoners, including three officers. They all belonged to the 10th Vir ginia Cavalry, except a lieutenant from the 2d South Carolina Regiment. None of Capt, Duncan's men were hurt. Refugees state that the rebels left Martinsburg on Tuesday. It is believed that a por tion of them went to Williamsport and a part to Shepherdstown. The destruction of the property belonging to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has within the past few days been made complete. While Gen. M'Clellan is compelled to keep his army scattered along the river for a distance of 30 miles, it is evidently impossible for him to move on the rebels in force, Should he attempt to mass his army for this purpose, the rebels would cross again into Maryland above, and be back again to Virginia by the time he reached them. So soon, however, as we have a heavy rainstorm, sufficient to add two or three feet to the depth of the current, no doubt the commanders of both armies will show their heads. The recommendation of Governor Letcher to destroy the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has, as far as I can learn, been carried out to the full extent from Harper's ferry to a distance of 10 or 12 mils beyond Martinsburg. One entire track has been broken up between Harper's Ferry and Martinsburg, and carried off towards Winchester, beyond Martins burg." " On the Potomac, opposite Shepherdstown, Oct. 24. " Rumour has it that the rebel Generals Jack son's, Longstreet's, and Hill's divisions are massed between Martinsburg and the ziver. Already our picket force has been doubled. The 2d District of Columbia Regiment, Col. Alexander, left to-day for Washington, as the terms of their enlistment do not compel them to come out of the district of Columbia. They have availed themselves of their prerogative, and left this section of the army to complete the period of their enlistment at home. Since leaving Washington the regiment has been attached to Gen. Griffin's brigade, and the men have performed their duties with soldierly alacrity and cheerfulness. An unexploded shell, one of the relics of the Antie tam fight, burst to-day in the 18th Massachusetts camp. The explosion resulted from the shell com ing in contact with a camp fire, but, fortunately, did no injury. Gen. Morell returned to day from Washington and assumed command of his division. Quite a number of the 2d New York Militia took French leave of their regiment last evening, with a view to join the regulars. They fell into the cus tody of the Provost Guard at Sharpsburg, and will be sent back to their regiment this morning."

S. Walton, Esq., coroner. The principle officers of the North- Eastern— amongst whom were Mr. A. Christison, general traffic manager; Mr. Fletcher, divisional traffic manager; Mr. John Bell, divisional locomo tive superintendent ; Mr. Monkman, passenger superintendent, and others—were in attendance. Mr. Richardson, solicitor, York, watched the case on behalf of the company. Thomas Harding, driver of the passenger train, who was pitched off his engine, and was conse quently very lame, and James Hewson, guard of the passenger train, stated the facts of the collision. George Moor, the station master, and William Wood, the porter, at Catterick station, deposed that whereas the cattle train ought not to have moved from that station until the consent of the former had been obtained, it was mov e d contrary to his express orders, during his absence, either by the driver or the guard, immediately after the passen ger train had passed the station. Mr. Christison said the station master at Scorton ,cwAhlol right",as subsequently t othe of appeared, he gave the signal of cattle train) should have had his signal turned against th e t ra i n unt il driver t the passenger train had been gone at least 5 minates, which was not the case. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against John Dixon, the driver of the cattle train, Robert Atkinson, the guard, and Mr. Brown, the station master at Scorton, who were thereupon corn. mitted for trial at the assizes. LOSS OF THE MAIL S 7 EAMER LIMA. An official inquiry, instituted by di rec ti on o f the Board of Trade, under the p rov i s i ons o f the Merchant Shipping Act, comm ence d yesterday, at the Greenwich police-court, before Mr. Trail!, sti pendiary magistrate, and Captain Harris and Cap tain Brown, as nautical assessors, into the circum stances attending the kiss of the m a il s t eamer Li ma , Captain Henry Wyld, belongi ng t o t h e P ac ifi c Steam which was totally lost on h bstriking on a group of te Navigation a July tion Company last rocks about 57 miles south of Cobiga, while con veying the mails between Pan ama an d V a l para i so. _ _. Mr. Cumberland attended on behalf of the Board of Trade, Mr. Winkworth appearing on behalf of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company, and Mr. Chamberlain for Captain Wyld. Mr. Cumberland, in opening the proceedings, said the Lima was a vessel of 1,165 tons burden, built at Govan in 1851, and was employed in carry ing the mails on the West Coast of South America, between Panama and Valparaiso. On the 24th of June last the vessel left Panama, having to call at various intermediate stations, amongst others at Cobiga, in Bolivia, where she arrived in safety be tween nine and ten o'clock on the night of the 10th of July, resuming her voyage the same night at 11.30, having taken on board the usual mails, and some passengers and specie, having at the time be tween 300 and 400 tons of cargo, and a full comple ment as a crew. The weather at this time was fine, rather cloudy, but no wind, and the course having been shaped as usual, she proceeded on her voyage. All went on well until 5.30 on the following morn ing, when, with scarcely any warning, the ship struck upon one of a group of three rocks laid down on the chart, although not named, and situate about 57 miles south of Cobiga, and 11 miles from the main land. The ship began to fill rapidly; but the boats having been lowered, the passengers between 40 and 50, the specie on board, and some other pro perty, and the crew succeeded in reaching the main land, where they remained five days, until taken off by the steamer Guayaquil, also belonging to the Pacific Steam Navi gation Company. The Board of Trade con- , sidered the circumstances attending the loss of the vessel on a known rock, and in fine weather, of so extraordinary a character, that they had deemed it necessary to institute the present inquiry, as it was asserted a cont rary course was steered on the n i g ht in question t o t h at usually taken, and which, to gether with the question as to whether a proper look out was kept during the night, would be the points upon which the inquiry would depend. He (Mr. Cumberland) would further remark that, by an act passed in the last session of Parliament, the power of cancelling or suspending any certificate held by the master or oth er officers of the ship, Rule refused accordingly. MARSHAL V. GOLBY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attorney at Cheltenham, to recover possession of two race-horses from the defendant, the well-known trainer, who had them in training for Mr. Talbot, and refused to give them up to the plaintiff, who claimed a right to them under the conditions of an agreement entered into between him on the one part and Mr. Talbot on the other. The action was tried before Mr. Justice Mellor, and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., now moved for a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, as against evidence, and a verdict entered for the defendant, or why there should not be a nonsuit. The agreement recited that the plaintiff :ent Mr. Talbot £l,OOO on inte rest, and received from him, as security, a bill of sale, authorising him to claim and obtain possession of the horses if default of payment should occur. A condition precedent was embodied in the document, that in the event of default seven days' notice should be given by plaintiff to Mr. Taibot, and that on the expiration of such notice plaintiff would be at liberty to enforce his bill of sale, and entitled to possession of the horses ; but until such default happened, and notice agreed upon was duly served upon Mr. Tal bot, that gentleman was to retain possession of the horses. Mr. Talbot was, at the time of default in payment, stopping at an hotel in Cheltenham, but being in pecuniary difficulties, plaintiff was unable to meet him, and make direct service of the seven days' notice on him. Plaintiff was also unable to see and serve the notice on Mrs. Talbot, and failing in his efforts to serve either, he then applied to Golby for possession of the horses. Golby refused to give them up, saying they were entrusted to him by Mr. Talbot for training, and that he would only give them up to that gentleman. Notice in accord ance with the terms of the bill of sale was served upon him, but he persisted in his refusal, and hence the action against him. The Lord Chief Justice—Golby had a sort of lien on the horses. Mr. Hawkins—Yes; and for the defence it was submitted that Mr. Talbot was at his hotel in Chel tenham, and constantly in and out, and that service of the notice might have been made upon him. Mr. Justice Mellor—The eNidence of the plaintiff was that he had frequently called at the hotel, and that he was never able to find Mr. Talbot at home, that gentleman, because of his difficulties, finding it convenient to be out of the way. The Court having conferred, granted a rule nisi. - - proved that in 1845 Mr. Loch complained 1 1- ,t_ltt Mr. Reeves, Lord Ashburton's agent, was going to tual him out of possession of the land, saying it was hard, because Mr. Beadon had said he should have the land for life. He asked Mr. Milton to intercede for him, which he did, and afterwards told Lock that he was not too late to make terms. Mr. Milton subsequently saw Lock, who told him that he had given up a portion of the land upon the terms that he should have the remainder, with the house, for his life, and that of his wife. In accordance with this statement Lock did, in fact, give up a portion of the land. The learned counsel submitted that no conversation of this kind could bar the plaintiff's statutable title. Tne Lord Chief Justice said the learned counsel was very earnest about the supposed wrongs of his client, who, however, seemed to belong to a class which a certain learned judge used to term "land stealers." (A laugh.) Sir F. Slade—The predecessors of all landlords must have been land stealers. The Lord Chief justice—All he meant to observe was, that the learned counsel seemed to think that it was a very meritorious thing to take six acres of land when nobody was looking. (Laughter.) Sir F. Slade—His client had made a bog grow corn, and that was at all events beneficial to the public. --The real question was whether Mr. Williams a new tenancy at will was created in 1845. Rule granted. AUSTIN V. HANCOCK.--LANDLORD AND TENANT. The plaintiff in this case had rented of the de fendant what is well-known in the lace districts as " standing and power" for certain lace machines — and he, being in arrears for rent, went out and locked the door of that portion of the defendant's workshop where the plaintiff's machines were. The defendant entered by putting a ledder to the win dow, and he then opened the door, no fastening having been broken. Having done this, the bailiffs were let in and the machines were distrained for rent. The plaintiff now claimed damages for it to the whole amount of the value of the goods ; or, secondly, for excessive distress. The jury found for the plaintiff, upon the first ground, for £l5O ; but if the Court should be of opinion that he could recover only for an excessive distress, then they assessed the damages at £4O. Mr. Sergeant Hayes now moved to reduce the damages to £4O, contending that the defendant had a right to enter the premises as he had done, and the workshop itself never having been demised, the plaintiff was wrong in locking it against his land lord. Mr. Justice Williams—But a distress must be upon the " demised premises, " and what were the ' demised premises in this case? Mr. Sergeant Hayes submitted that they con ' , sisted of the ground upon which the machines I stood. Rule granted. STOTT 'V. GLENN.—INJUNCTION. The plaintiff was the owner of a colliery, and he had entered upon an agreement with the defendant, who rented a turnpike, that the plaintiff's carts should pass the turnpike for three years in considera tion of a certain quarterly compensation. The de fendant subsequently refused to perform the agree ment, alleging that he had been induced to enter into it by a false representation. The present a tion was commenced to enforce the agreement, and Mr_ Justice Mellor granted an injunction to compel the defendant to allow the carts to pass, pending the litigation. Mr. Mellish now moved for a rule to discharge the order for an injunction, and submitted that the court would not compel the defendant to act on the agreement, inasmuch as such agreement was pro bably illegal, because it was an arrangement to take other than the ordinary tolls. The court granted the rule, suggesting that the carts should pass as usual, and that an account of the amount of the ordinary tolls which might be come due should be taken. LA TV INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 5. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, at Westminster, before Lord Chief justice Cockburn, Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Justice Blackburn, add Mr. Justice Mellor.) THOMAS V. GENERAL SHIRLEt-RREAGH OF PRO- MIKE OF MARRIAGI. In this ease, the facts and circumstances of which, as elicited at the trial, excited much public indig nation, Mr. Sergeant Shee moved for a rule calling on the defendant, Gen. Shirley, to show cause why the verdict of the jury returned in his favour should not be set aside, on the ground that it was against the weight of evidence ; and why a new trial should not be had. The case was one of a peculiarly painfdi nature. The plaintiff, Miss Anne Thomas, a young lady 23 years of age, of varied accomplish ments, who had filled with credit the situation of governess in several respectable families, and whose character was unblemished, advertised in 1861 for the situation of lady housekeeper to a respectable single gentleman. The defendant, who is a man of fortune and rank, replied to the advertisement, and appointed an interview. lie informed her of his rank, said he was unmarried ; and he wanted such a person; and that she would find herself happy and comfortable at his residence, Brookside Lodge, near Rugby, where she should have the command of the servants of his establishment. and entire direc tion of the house affairs. He took her to Richmond, where ehe dined with him, and in a subsequent in terview he succeeded, under, according to her evi= dence, a promise of marriage, in seducing her. She proceeded to Brookside Lodge, and there passed as Mrs. Shirley. She became enceinte I disagree ments arose between them respecting his promise to marry her, and she ultimately returned to London, where she gave birth, in March last, to a child, and discovered that the general was a married man, separated from his wife. She then brought an ac tion to recover compensation in •damages against him for breach of promise of marriage. The case was tried at the last assizes at Lewes, before Mr. Baron Bramwell and a common jury, and resulted in a verdict for the defendant, who, in his defence, denied the promise. The learned sergeant in his application commented upon the terms in which the learned judge summed up the evidence to the jury, and expressed a hope, looking at all the circum stances, that the Court would be of opinion that he was entitled to a rule. The Lord Chief Justice (the other judges con curring) was of opinion that there ought not to be a rule. With regard to the advertisement put into the newspapers, the Court could not but regard it as very imprudent, and the learned judge who tried the cause did not express himself dissatisfied with the verdict. Mr. Sergeant Shee then, referring to a second action brought by the plaintiff against General Shirley for recovery of expenses incurred by her for necessaries, and which was referred to arbitra tion, said he was prepared with an affidavit contain ing the plaintiff's evidence before the arbitrator — evidence which she was precluded from giving at the trial for breach of promise ; and as it would place the case in a strong aspect before their lord ships, he hoped the Court would allow him to read and put it in as additional ground why a rule for a new trial ought to be granted. The Lord Chief Justice said the Court could not hear the affidavit, or admit anything but the facts of the case as they appeared on the trial. With respect to any new evidence, it could be brought out in the other case. The rule must, therefore, be refused. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Erie and Justices Williams, Byles, and Keating.) ALDRIDGE V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. M. Smith said that t.hjscase was tried before Mr. Justice Byles, at Guildhall, when the verdict was for the plaintiff, for the agreed amount of £2O, subject to the opinion of the Court upon a question of law. The circumstances were these :—The plaintiff was a fruit merchant in the Borough, and he was in the habit of ha v i n g fruit sent up from various parts of the country in baskets and barrels. The plaintiff sent back some empty baskets and barrels from London to Tiver- ton, and according to the usual practice nothing was charged for conveying them. The things were carried all right whilst they continued upon the defendants' line, but when they got off the line, and before arriving at their destination, delay occurred. The defendants were now sued for damages for this delay, and two questions were raised—first, whether the defendants could be made liable for delay, considering that they had received no pay ment for carrying the goods, and that they inserted in the ticket upon which they carried them the condition that they would not be liable for any damage to articles c irried free of charge; and, se condly, whether they were liable for delay which did not occur on their own line. - Mr. Justice Byles said it had been held that when a person was injured upon a line, the com pany which issued his ticket was liable, even though the accident did not happen upon their own line. Rule granted. LOCK Y. MATTHEWS.—ACQUIRING TITLE TO LAND. This was an action of ejectment to recover pos session of a piece of land, and at the trial before Mr. Justice Keating, at Wells, the verdict was sub stantially for the defendant. Sir F. Slade now moved for a rule to enter a verdict for the plaintiff, and stated that the circum stances were these. The land in question was about six acres in extent, and was formerly part of the manor of Wilscombe, of which, in 1830, Mr. Beadon was the lord. In that year an inclosure act passed, and of course a portion of the land was allotted to the lord, and the plaintiff's ancestor, who had been employed in draining the manor, enclosed the land in question, which was then worthless, and by h is labour erected a house and con siderably improved the land, of which he continued in undisturbed pcsses.sion from 1830 to 1856, with out paying any rent, or otherwise acknowledging title in anybody 'else. In 1840 Mr. Beadon sold the manor to Lo r d A s hb urton, un d er w h om d e fendant _ claimed. file learned counsel submitted thatrmore, old Mr. Lock, h av i ng had possess i on, as h e had, for than 20 ye ars , had acq a stuired, under theSttao btlue in Statute of Limitations, th e 3 an d 4 Wm. IV., was, that a defeasible title. The defendant's case atu certain co nversa ti on which occurred in 16 _ 45 . de stroyed any right of the plaintiff. Mr. Milton Rule granted. KENNEDY T. BROITN AND WIPE.—THE SWINFEN CASE. The matter was before the court last term. It will be remembered that Mr. Kennedy, a barrister, acted on behalf of Mrs. Swinfen in her litigation in reference to her claims to the Swinfen estate, the result of which was that she recovered the property . Subsequently to this she married Mr. Broun, the de fendant, and the present action wH3 brought against he: and her husband to recover £20,000 upon "an account stated," which was founded upon the ser vices rendered by Mr. Kennedy. The case came on for trial before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn at War wick, when the verdict was for the plaintiff for £20,000, but subsequently a rule was obtained to en icr a nonsuit upon certain points of law, or for a new trial misdirection, or that the verdict was against the weigL: of evidence. The principal ques tion of law raised was, wIN ether services rendered by a barrister can be made the e;.:bject of an account stated. Last term Mr. Kennedy - wa: heard at some length in showing cause against the rule, and the case came on again to-day. The Lord Chief Justice said that he was very sorry that in consequence of the same judges not being present now as were on the bench last term, it would be necessary to begin the arguments over again. Mr. Kennedy'accordingly recapitulated the facts of the case et great length, and had not completed the statement when the court rose. The further hearing was adjourned. COURT OF PROBATE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell. OAKHAM V. OAKHAM AND OGDEN. In this case the plaintiff disputed an instrument, purporting to be the last will and testament of his cousin, Mr. James Oakham, a retired butcher, who resided at Wimbledon, Surrey, and possessed con siderable property in land and in the funds. The plaintiff alleged that the testator was not of sound mind, that the will was not duly executed, and pro pounded a prior will. Mr. W. E. Ward appeared for the plaintiff, and Dr. Swabey and Mr. Boyle for the defendants. Witnesses were called, who deposed to the com petency of the testator when he executed the will in dispute, which was dated January, 1855, and by which he made some alterations in the previous disposition of his estate, including an increase in an annuity to his housekeeper. One of the witnesses said that the lady thanked the testator for the altera tion in her favour, to which he replied," You richly deserve it." All the witnesses examined in support of the will testified to the sanity of the testator, and one of them described him as a very acute per son in business matters. On the other side the plaintiff, his wife, and ano ther witne s s were examined,and merely proved that the testator had an attack of paralysis in 1855, sub sequent to the execution of the will. Sir C. Cresswell said he regretted that the plain tiffs should have spent their money in endeavour ing, without any ground whatever, to fix perjury on respectable parties. He felt bound to decree pro bate of the will of 1855, and to condemn the plain tiffs in the costs of the suit. STRAUBENZEE AND WIFE T. MONK. This was an amicable suit, instituted for the pur pose of ascertaining the testamentary validity of certain papers left by Lady Monk, the wife of Sir Charles Monk. It appeared that the testatrix, by virtue of a deed of settlement, had power to distri bute a sum of £5,000. She left £l,OOO to her god daughter, and a specific legacy to the mother of the latter. The disposition of her property was made by writing on two separate sheets of paper, which were enclosed in an envelope, in which she directed her husband to administer. Dr. Tristram appeared for the plaintiff, and Dr. Spinks for the defendant. Sir C. Cresswell, at the conclusion of the learned counsel's arguments, said that this was a very im portant question, and he should take time to consi der his judgment. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Nov. 6. (Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge.) Wm. Bartram, 18, Wm. Birch, 22, and Ann Rush bourn, 21, were indicted for feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Edward Ro berts, and stealing therefrom an opera-glass, a table cover, and other articles, his property. There was a second indictment against the two latter prisoners for a similar offence in the d welling-house of God - fray Phillips. The charge as regarded Bartram was ignored by the grand jury. Mr. Cooper prosecuted. The prisoners were un defended. Mr. E. W. Roberts stated that he is an accoun tant,o residing at Lansdowne-villas, Hackney-downs, 11! and on the night of Sept. 25, betweend Te nd e o'clock, he saw his premises securehe was told by morning, about half-past 6 o'clock, he entrance had his servants that they had found an bars of the scul lerybeen effected by bending the The door of the to admit of the passage f ° cut out, and by this means window, they having baebeinoryos.ntrained sufficiently lobby also had the glass cut be got at.

THE CHRYSANTHEMUMS AT THE INNER TEMPLE GARDENS.—These fine autumnal flowers are now in their full beauty, and will continue to be so for about another fortnight. Although they are later than in former years, yet, when we recollect how unpropitious the spring of the year was to their growth, the state of perfection in which they now are does Mr. Broome, the gardener, great credit. There are some splendid specimens of old faveurites, and also of several new ones ; that called " Nil desperandum" is most magnificent. The gardens are now, owing to the liberality of the Benchers, open to the public every day, except Sundays, and will well repay a visit.

Soon after its application to a bad leg or inflammatory ulcer it restrains the excitement of blood vessels and nerves, which at once brings coolness and com fort, and furthers the gradual deposit of healthy materials to fill up the ravages caused by violence, debility, or dis ease. It expels all noxious matters, and heals all sores soundly. It gives ease to varicose veins, bad legs, and swellings of the feet and joints when the agony is almost unremitting, and the pain too much for a giant's strength. BIRTHS. E. B.

LONDON: Printed and b Pulished by JOHN CHAPLIN, of No. 112 Stra nd, Printer, at THE Surf Office, N 0.112, Strand, in the Precinct of the Savoy, in the County of bliddleoes.—Thursday, November 6, 1861. with a considerable degree of ingenuity, acid in his defence he denied that he had anything to do with t l i t ; robbery. The Jury found Birch guilty, and acquitted Rushbourn. Lockyer, the officer of the House of Correction, Coldbathfields, said the prisoner has been four times an inmate of that prison, and had been the regular associate of thieves for years. The Assistant-Judge sentenced 113.irch to be kept in penal servitude for five years, anal cautioned the female priscner as to her future co,ucluct, for she might share the fate of her coropanioo. (Before Mr. Payne.) Ferdinand Wolf, 30, described in the' ealendar as a merchant, of superior education, a Geiman, was indicted for unlawfully assaulting and beat.ing Eli zabeth Jones. Pater prosecuted. Mr. Albert interpreted the evidence. From the evidence of the prosecutrix, the wife of John Jones, a bricklayer, of Grove's-square, Hackney-road, it appeared that she was with har husband and some other persons in the High -street, Shorediteh, at about 20 minutes past one in the morning of the 21st ult., and that she stood still for a short time to attend to her child who was Edell. While she was in a stooping position the prisoner came behind her, and most indelicately and pain fully assaulted her, She called to her husband for protection, when the prisoner spat in her face, and said that if he had a knife he would settle her. John Jones, husband of the last witness, said on the morning in question his attention was at— tracted by hearing screams from his wife, and on going to the place he saw the prisoner standing close to her. She complained to him of the manner in which she had been treated, upon which he laughed. Witness threatened to give him iikto cus tody, when some of his companions said it Nvould be no use giving him into custody, as he could wake nothing of it. Mr. B. Mather, a surgeon, of No. 40, Essex-street, Islington, said he examined the prosecutrix at three o'clock, on the morning of the 21st of Octo ber, and he found that she had been most roughly and violently treated. She was suffering great pain, and it would be some time before she recovered, although she was not permanently injured. Great violence must have been used towards her, and she was worse now than she was when he first ex amined her, as time had developed the injuries. The prisoner, in his defence, simply denied all knowledge of the transaction. The jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner guilty. Mr. Payne said that this was one of the most seri ous and atrocious cases of the kind that had ever come before him; and having consulted with the Assistant-Judge, it was his orinion that the offence ought to be visited with a severe sentence; there fore, the sentence of the Court was, that he be kept in penal servitude for three years. The prisoner was then removed, protesting his innocence. James Ford and Walter Lang were severally con victed of assaults on constables of the metropolitan police, the former being sentenced to one year, and the latter to two years' hard labour.
