The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of DU BARRY'S invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and.

Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction. to anyo n e giving infor mation at any breach of the injunction.

The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture; and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

The situation is open and healthful, a few minutes' walk from all the public buildings and places of business, and being connected with the Railway StatiOn, affords railway passengers arriving or de,arting by every train day or night, the advantage of being on the spot, and having their wants and wishes immediately attended to. The public should know that under the present manage ment they will find every comfort and convenience at the same charges they are paying at the minor hotels. It has accommodation for upwards of one hundred and fifty visitors, is fitted up with every luxury an hotel can command, and is so arranged for the advantage of every class of visitor, that Beds'can be had from ls. to 2s. ; Private Rooms, from 25. to 4s. ; Breakfasts, from is. Gd. to 2s. ; Dinners, from 2s. ; and all other charges of that moderate character which will give satisfaction to every class of visitor who may pay the hotel a visit. The hotel contains Gentlemen and Ladies' Coffee Rooms ; a special Room set apart for Commercial Gentlemen ; fourteen P. ivate suites of Rooms ; large spacious Rooms for Dinner Parties, Public Meetings, &c., &c. ; two first-class Refresh ment Rooms ; two Smoke Rooms ; Bath and Billiard Rooms.

This company will have its instruments on the second floor of the building, while the. instruments of the Submarine and the Magnetic Companies will be.On divisions of the third floor--41l the rooms above the first floor being secured from the , intrusion of strangers, who must confine .their businCss to the public office on the ground floor, and the:Secretaries' and clerks' offices on the first. Coupled with the great engineering and mecha , nical advantages by which the Submarine Company were the first to secure to the public the great boon of telegraphic communication under the sea with the Continent, it was the first to seduce the prices of telegraphic messages to an extent that would only two or three years since have been deemed as fabulous, haviog in connection with the. Inland Company (the British and Irish Magnetic), not withstanding an exclusive concession in France and other countries, and therefore without the pressure of competition, reduced the tariff for a message' between London and Paris from 19s. to Bs. 6d., and between Liverpool and Paris. from £1 lls. 6d. to the same sum of Bs. 6d, ; and that these reductions have not been unfavourable to the com pany is shown by the fact that the dividend, which ranged from 7 to 8 per cent, on the original capital of £75,000, is still kept up on the increased capital, the messages having increased in proportion to the facilities and accommodation granted to the public. The number of despatches transmitted is still aug menting month by month. Neither should it be forgotten that, irrespeetiye of the reduction of the Continental rates,.the directors and officers of the Submarine Company were the first; in connection with the Inland Company, to inaugurate and carry out' those reductions in the tariff for the trans mission of messages throughout the United Bing- dom from which the public are at this moment so largely benefiting. As the weight and dimensions sof the various cables may prove interesting to the public, we sub join the following particulars, with which we have been favoured by Messrs. Glass and Co., who have manufactured the Hanoverian, Danish, and Folke stone cables of the Submarine Company :-- The Folkestone and Boulogne cable is the finest and strongest yet lai 1. It contains a large hempen core, round which are wound six gutta pereha wires, No. 1 containing copper conductors. These gutta percha wires are again served with a thick covering of hemp, on-which rests the 12 No. 0 iron wires forming the outside covering. The dia meter of the whole is 11 in., and the weight about 10 tons per mile. The length is 25 miles, thus giving a total weight of 250 tons. The Hanoverian cable contains two conducting wires, served with a great quantity of hemp, and with 10 No. 2 iron wires for shore end, and a somewhat smaller wire for the deep sea portions. The diameters are 11 in. and 1 in. respectively. The weight is about 6 tons,. and 31 tons per mile. The total length is 280 miles, and the gross weight about 1,030 tons. The Danish cable is provided with a hempen core and three conducting wires, a thick serving of hemp, and outside is 10 No. 2 iron wires for those ends, and smaller wire for the deep sea lengths. The diameters are an inch and a quarter, and an inch and a thirty second ; the weight about 61 tons, and 41 tons respectively per mile; the total length is 380 miles, and the gross weight about 1,710 tons. The Ostend cable, we are informeg., contains six conduc tors wound outside the gutty pereha with hemp, and covered with 12 iron wires. The diameter is an inch and three-eighths nearly ; the weight about 71 tons per mile ; the length 70 miles ; the total weight 525 tons. The Calais cable, the last men- • tioned here, but the first cable submerged and the model for all submarine cables since suctlessively worked, contains .a large hempen core, four con ductors in gutta percha, a thick serving of hemp . outside these, and 10 iron wires, No. 1, over all. • The diameter is nearly an inch and three-eighths, the length about 30 miles, and the weight 225 tons, • or about 71 tons per mile. The two latter cables were constructed, we believe, by Messrs. Newall. It will thus be seen that this company in a day or two will be working with 21 wires and about 3,770 tons of submarine cable, or a grand total tonnage which sinks the Atlantic into insignificance ; and with all these cables there has, up to this moment, been absolutely no failure in the laying, and there they lie as an example of what may be effected by the joint-stock system of this country,i supported by public enterprise and guided by public wants. there must be some enormous`difficulty in the way of adopting this principle at the Admiralty if we are to judge from the length of time the Board has had this principle, before it without adopting it. This principle was recommended by a Commis sion in 1806; but the recommendation has not been acted upon to this day. It may be admitted that it would require for carrying it out an addition to the existing official machinery of our Dockyards ; for, if you fix on your price beforehand, you must make somebody or other responsible for that price not being exceeded. Yon may say that the Ad miralty is responsible, but to make a man respon sible to himself is not doing much ; you must have some official personage, who bindshimseli tcr a par ticular sum as the cost of labour in building a vessel, and who, iF it exceeds that cost,. must take the excess upon himself. That is the sort of personage you want, as supplementary to the 4xisting service of the Admiralty for working this principle, and applying the merchant sytem to the labour in our Dockyards. A private shipbuilding firm does not, of course, want any supplementary personage of this kind, because it takes the office upon itself. When the sum is fixed that the ship should cost, the firm is its own guarantee that it shall cost no More; if it does cost more, the shipbuilder pays it and bears the loss. That is the strongest security against careless expenditure which you cart have. But the Admiralty does not stand in thi s p os iti on towards the vessels it builds; it may fix before hand on the cost, but if the cost is exceeded, the Admiralty does not lose, but the publie. What you want, then, is some personage who shall lose if the mit of the labour in building a ship exceeds the proper estimated one, who binds : himself to a given sum, and is responsible for the eNcosa if more is spent. You want in f4i - lt a sort of work eon traetor.-40110 wha does on the single article of la bour what your shipbuilder does.ripon the whole field of material and labour together, • This application of the " mcraant systein" is now being again recommended to the Admiralty, and the recommendation ponies from high quar ters, It is simply, in essence, that of contract AT purchase. The principle of contract is stirp4ay par tially used by the Admiralty it contracts fur its steam-engines, it contracts for tts.anohors; nay, it. has just contracted for the most extraordinary piece of work it ever undertook—the new Steam Ram. The Admiralty does not, and indeed is hal Illy expected, to throw itself wholly-upon this prin ciple, for the reasons above mentioned, It picks its firms with which to deal, and picks them, as Mr. Lindsay observes, muoh too timidly and exclu= sively the consequence of which is that it pays £6O for an engine which it - might get for £4.0, and only the other day paid £a,mo for 17 anchors— /, e., nearly £2OO a-piece. , This is to make the Ad miralty contracts a monopoly. Still 'it is an ac knowledgment of the principle of contract, and there can be no reason why this principle should not be applied to the subject of labour. If the Ad miralty cannot throw itself wholly upon this prin ciple, and buy its ships altogether for fear of being cheated in the material, it may still do so partially and apply it on the simple artiolc of labour.— LAW INTELLIGENC.E-July 11, COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, in London, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN Y. BUSTY. This was an indictment, charging George Bush; an attorney's clerk, with perjury, alleged to have been committed on the trial of an action of " Smith v. Wisby" before Mr. Justice Erle, in January last. The prosecutor, Smith, is a builder, carrying on business at Bishop Stortford, and it would seem that in the month of November, 1850, be was ap plied to by a person named Wisby, a resident in the same neighbourhood, and who wha about to take a small farm from a gentleman named Haw kins, to go over the farm and see what repairs were required in the buildings upon it. Ultimately Wisby took the farm, Mr. Hawkins agreeing to allow £5O out of the rent for repairs. Upon that Wisby gave the order to Smith to execute the needful repairs, and Smith's bill came to £7O. As Smith had some difficulty in getting his money, he employed a Mr. Ley, an attorney at Bishop Stort ford, to take proceedings for him in the first place against Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Hawkins, however, paid the plaintiff the £5O which he undertook to allow Wisby out of the rent, and denied his further liability. And now commenced the second action, that of " Smith v. Wisby," for the balance of the I account, amounting to some £29 or so. At the trial the contention on the part of the defendant was that Smith had undertaken to do the whole of the repairs for the sum of £5Ol that his contract was with Mr. Hawkins, and not with Wisby ; that Hawkins had paid him the £5O due, and that it was quite an afterthought his attempting to charge Wisby with the balance said to be duo. , In support of Wisby's case, the defendant, Bush, who had been a clerk of Mr. Ley, the attorney ori ginally employed by Smith, was called, and he swore that in November, 1857, he had seen Smith's books at Smith's house, and that the entries in the books having reference to this transaction made no mention of Wisby's name at all ; but that Haw kins's name stood by itself. That showed that this attempt to make Wisby share in the outlay on the repairs was quite an afterthought. On the other hand, the books being produced showed Wisby's name coupled with Hawkins's in every entry bear ing upon the transaction. If, therefore, Bush's evi dence was true, Smith must have altered the books subsequently to his determining to sue Wisby. At the trial, the jury, unable to reconcile the testimony on both sides, was discharged without coming to a verdict. To-day tha question which the jury had to deter mine was, did Bush knowingly and wittingly swear to what was untrue, when he declared that at the time he saw Mr. Smith's books there were no such entries in them as when produced at the trial ; or, allowing for the lapse of time which had intervened between his alleged inspection of the books and the trial of " Smith v. Wisby," was he simply mistaken as to what he saw. The jury, without leaving the box, found the defendant not guilty. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., Mr. Sleigh, and Mr. G. Francis, appeared for the prosecutor ; Mr. Sergeant Parry, Mr. Robinson, and Mr. J. M. Howard, for the defendant, SECOND COURT. Sittings at Nisi Prius.—(Before Mr. Justice Black- burn and Common Juries.) BAY LE Y. GRAYSON—A SCENE IN COURT. This was an action to recover £3O, the value of a bill of exchange accepted by the defendant and en dorsed to the plaintiff, The defendant pleaded fraud. Mr. Pearce appeared as counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. George Francis for the defendant. From the state of the pleadings the defendant, who is an attorney, was examined in support of his plea, but in his cross•examination his replies were in direct contradiction to an affidavit he had made. Mr. Justice Blackburn asked the learned counsel for the defendant if he thought the jury would, after this evidence, give him credence ? Mr. Francis believed the matter was capable of explanation. The jury said they could not believe the defend ant. The witness was at this stage of the proceedings taken suddenly ill, and had to lean on the bar in front of the witness box for support, and would have fallen if a juryman had not jumped out of the box to his assistance. The officers of the court also supported him, and he was led into the air. Mr. Justice Blackburn desired that the defendant should be detained in custody, and on his recovery brought before him. His lordship then said to the defendant's counsel he thought it was his duty to commit the defendant for perjury, and left the court for the purpose of consulting with the Lord Chief Justice, who was of opinion that as there would not be proper evidence in support of the charge of perjury, it would be better not to commit him. When Mr. Justice Blackburn returned he stated that the Lord Chief Justice and himself both regretted that under the circumstances it would be useless to commit the defendant for perjury. He was accordingly discharged out of custody, a nd a verdict was immediately returned for the plaintiff, his lordship granting immediate execu- tion. NOBLE V. DAVENPORT.-ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE OF A SURGEON. This was an action brought to recover damages for the alleged negligence of the defendant, who pleaded not guilty. Mr. Lush and Mr. Hannen were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Tindal Atkinson and Mr. Murphy represented the defendant. Mr. Lush, in opening the case, said that the plaintiff was a blacksmith, barrying on business at Abridge, in Essex, where the defendant practised as a surgeon. O ne Sunday evening in August the plaintiff's wife and son were riding in a cart when SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH. The contractors of the Submarine Telegraph Company are engaged in laying down a new line of telegraph from Cromer, in Norfolk, to Heligo land, for the accommodation of Denmark and the north of Europe—the cable having, after, being fully tested, being shipped on Thursday last from the yard of the manufacturers, Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co., of East Greenwich. Although the company has only been established a very few years, it will, when the line now laying . down is completed, or say within a week, have five lines in connection with the Continent at work. The first cable by which a submarine communica tion was effected with the Continent was laid down be i t r w es ee ; n an D d o s v h e e r rt a l n y d a: C te a r la w i ads Calais, and lhieh contained four w in ordertomeet therequirements of Central German de manded a more direct communication, n v , another six rde wires rt o b be enabled la d crowtored D u e c T e er th te e cableOs tend; c andta containing ig order tariff for telegraphic messages, the first under ground telegraph was laid from London to Dover. This cable, which was laid as successfully as the r first, brought demands from other places on the Continent. For the advantage of a telegraph, and for the further accommodation of the traffic of North and Central Germany, a cable with two wires was laid down between Cromer and Emden, in Hanover,' and now, as we have already stated, a cable with three wires is being laid down from Cromer to Heligoland and Denmark, thus givine, a more direct c ommunication with Denmark and the north. About the same time as the last mentioned lines originated, it was found that the traffic between this country and the south of Europe had so increased as to require further accomm odation, and, accordidgly, it was resolved to lay down another cable to France with six con ductors, via Boulogne and Folkestone, and this line was safely submerged about fourteen days since, so that. the company has now four, and will in a few days have five, distinct cables laid down, with 21 conducting wires, giving them the means of receiv ing or forwarding as many messages from or to the Continent simultaneously, which it is calculated, notwithstanding the greatly increased and increas ing use of telegraphic communication, will suffice to meet any requirement that can come upon them for the next quarter of a centur y or more, includ ing even the Indian and China business, On all the lines traversing different parts of the Channel or German Ocean, the greatest security is afforded against the interruption of business, as no accident within the range of probability can occur to more than one cable at a time, whilst the NM= pany possesses five distinct lines of communication. The communication by land, either at home or *abroad, is so arranged MS to afford the same secu rity, whilst the wide distance apart of the various cables or roads of communication, give great advantage in securing the traffic should any de rangement take place in any one of the lines, and we understand that the French Government are about to give direct wires to the Paris Bourse, so that the communication between the establishment and the Stock Exchange of London will be instan taneous, and, doubtless, the business thereby developed very remarkably increase. The Submarine Company are removing their offices from Cornhill to most extensive premises, built entirely for telegraphic purposes, on the site of the old North and South America Coffee-house , Threadneedle-street , and which will be occupied conjointly by that company, the British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company, the London District Telegraph Company, and perhaps others, thus form ing one grand mitre for teiegraphie communica tion. The offices of the various eompanies are very commodious, and are all connected one with the other with lifts from the message office to the various instrument rooms, from whence communi cations can at once be made between all parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and the continent of Europe. The London District Telegraph Com pany, with some hundreds of offices, is destined to pthlaey metropolis; a important part in the communication of as for we believe the small sum of 4d. a tradesman i very n Regent-street will be able at ()nee to order any description of goods from a whole- DOCK] ARD _EXPENSES. It should be admitted, in estimating the expenses of our Dockyards, that the Admiralty does not stand quite on the level of a private firm for the cost of its vessels—that it has not so simple and unre stricted a method of purchas e open to it. A private mercantile firm make s it s b arga in with the ship builder, and procures what it wants for the proper market price, which is regu l a t e d by competition. Nothing can be more si mp l e t h an such a process, because in practice ev ery difficulty of the estimate is solved for you by f ac t s, a n d com petition is the it s justness. key to fi x t h e price an d g uarantee justness. But the Admiralty cannot, it seedis, have recourse to private yards ; that is said to be a recog nised principl e . " Th ere are, no d ou bt," Mr. Lind say says; " objections to building ships for the Royal Navy i n p r i vate yards. " N o body seems prepared as y e t t o assert this emanc i pa ting prin ciple in beh a lf o f th e Ad m i ralty, to fli ng open the gates and giv e it unrestr i cted lib er ty as a pur chaser. There are doubtless reasons for this, though we may obse rve th at t h e Russ i an Ad m i ra lty goes to American an d E ng li sh private yards. The risk as regards the soun d ness of the wor k mans hip, and especially of th e mater i als, appears to b e f eare d. A private firm h as a s h arp eye for t hi s r i s k, and cannot be tampered with. A public Board is not so sharp a customer—it wants the keen inexorable vigour of self-interest to sustain it in coping with all the snares of the open field of competition, and its business is also rather too large a one to be made depe n d en t on such an extreme ly jealous vigilance as this plan would require. But, because the simplest method of purchase was not open to it, and it was obliged to be its own shipbuilder, the Admiralty appears to have adopted exactly the most cumbrous, unmanageable, and in tricate plan of l a b our t h at could 'be devised—a plan which defies supervision, and leaves the Board no true gauge and test whatever of the amount of labour bestowed, thus depriving it of the very first condition of a moderate and just cost. The whole work of our dockyards appears to be done upon the " task or j o b system,' a system involving some thousands of differ en t i tems, each of which has its appropriate scal e o f wages. The " measurer " i s supposed t o ascerta i n accurately every day the amount of work done, and thus to protect the Ad miralty against the undue claims of the shipwright; but such a vast quantity of items must leave him in a great measure —even if lie is the most honest man in the world—at the mercy of the simple statement of the shipwright, and the difficulty of supery sion is inereased by the mode of payment adopted far the " l ea di ng men," who conduct and control the shipwrights' work. These are paid according to the amount of work dono, and there fore have the strongest interest in overstating the amount of that work, The result of this system is that the cost of our ships varies in different donkyards. We have the curious fact, • that the Pearl, at Woolwich, cost £6 18s. sd. per ton building ; the Satellite, at l)evonport, 4nd the Racoon, at Chatham, £4 6s. 6d. per ton , ' The Pelorus, of Devonport, cost in ship wrights wages 6, all 712 vessels; th o eSc t v t l he l a, s o a f me Sheerness,size and £8,091. These are burden.

The Government of that day was struck with the inexplicable serenity with which this large reduc tion was received b y t h e workmen ; it was more than could have been expected. A shipwright as meek as an angel or a lamb upon one-fifth of his wages being struck off was a puzzle,—an enigma to the Admiralty, till the appearance of the next balance-sheet, when th e fi gures showed exactly the sa me imperturbability an d equanimity as the men h a d, One riddle of course solved the other, and a co mparison of the reduced s hi pwrights ' wages i n t h e case of the Espoir, built after 1822, with the unre duced ones in the case of the Brisk, built before that date, showing an increase of 6s. 2d. per ton in the interval, explained the mysterious and supernatural a c alm of the Dockyard upon an i n t e lli g ibl e pr i nc iple• rrhe of rationala vessel, pin, vague, l oose, and blind one , which makes the ulti mate as far distinguished from this far as shipwrights' work is concerned , t he simple aggregate of so much previous untested and u naseerta i ned la b our, would ve ssel beforehand, to fix on the proper price of the beforehand,and to work up to that price.

Onyeach ing home, the defendant was sent for, and op exami ning 'the'arin he said' it was broken about three inches belovt- the. elbow, and that something was also the m att er• with the • wrist. But in point of fact th e conc l us i on was wrong, for in reality the wrist bones had been dislocated, and required im mediate re- se tti ng. Th e. d e f en d ant i mme d i ately put the arm between two splints and bandaged it tightly, and applied some lotion. He . continued to visit the plaintiff's wife from day to day, still keeping the arm in bandages, using bran poultices, foinenta.tions, lotions, &c„ but he did nothing to th e wrist. Th e p l a i nt i ff ' s wife continu i ng in great pain and getting worse daily he sug gested th a t f ur th er m edi cal advice should be called in. Dr. Th omas was accord i ngly sent for, and, ac cepting the def en d ant ' s account of the nature of the injuries as the right onei he expressed his opinion that the plaintiff's wife w•Auld soon get better. Afterwards Dr. B owr i ng was called in, but did not examine her arm, as he took the defendant's account to be correct. He, however, advised the application of leeches. The plaintiff' s w if e continued to get worse up to the 30th of Octob er , wh en t h e nlaintiff told the defendant it would be useless ,7or l him to continue his attendance, and agai n . called in Dr. Bowring. The ease being they, under hi s imme diate care, Dr. Bowring examined the arm, and 'on removing the splints he diseovered that the arm had never been broken, but that the wrist had been dislocated, and it was then, from the lapse of time, impossible to re-set it. The wrist was cramped_with the tight' bandages and the want of setting, the fingers were so stiff that one of them cracked in the attempt to straighten it, and the plaintiff's wife continued to get worse. • In December Mr. Turner was called iA,"and he •and Dr. Bowring continued to 4Wentled the woman. Her sufferings were so in tense that they affected the nervous system, and a most lamentable result bait followed, but whether f . roni the neglect in the treatment or not it was impes.stbae to say. She was unable to get any sleep for 14 days and nights, and when at last sleep came on her she . aw o k e a man i ac, an d was, now i n a lunatic , asylum with-no chance of recovery. Under thesecircumstanees the pres en t ac ti on was b roug h t. Evidence was adduced in support of the above feels, and from this it also appeared that the de fendant had sued the plaintiff in the. county court for the amount of his bill for attendance, but had not succeeded in recovering if. Some of the witnesses stated that the arm had - not been broken, or the wrist dislocated. Mr. T. Atkinson, at the conclusion of the plaintiff's case, submitted.there was no evidence to - go to the jury; but the objection was overruled, and the learned counsel then addressed the jury for the defence. He contended that one of the bones of the arm had been broken, and had been properly treated, so much so that the woman could now work at her needle in the asylum. He commented on the fact that tnis action had not been brought until after the lapse of four years, and after the defendant had sued the plaintiff in the county court for his bill for medical attendance. Nothing could be more un grateNl than the plaintiff's conduct; but when "The devil was ill, the devil a monk would be, The devil got well, the devil a monk was he." (Laughter.) The learned counsel said that the real cause of the lunacy of the poor woman was that she had caught cold and had taken gastric fever, and he would call Dr. Campbell, of Brentwood Asylum, to prove this. Evidence was then adduced to prove thatthe'arm had been broken and had been so treated that it was as well now as could be expected in a woman of the age of the patient, and that the lunacy was in no way attributable to the negligence of the defendant. The learned judge summed up, leaving it to the jury to say whether the defendant had exhibited proper and reasonable skill and care in his treat ment of the plaintiff's wife. The jury, after a brief consultation, found a ver dict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings at Nisi Prins in London.—(Before Lord _ _ thief Justice Erie and a Special Jury.) GREEN V. MACNAMARA AND OTHERS.-OMNIBUS NURSING. The plaintiff in this case owned two or three omnibuses running from Brompton to Islington, and he claimed damages from Messrs. Macnamara, Wilen, and Price, managing •men of the London General Omnibus Company, on the ground that they had paused his omnibuses to be " nursed" by those of the company. Mr. Knowles and Mr. Edwardes appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. E. Jiimes, Mr. Sergeant Ballan tine, Mr. Gifford, and Mr. Poland for th© defendants. The case occupied the whole of Saturday and to day, and that evidence, as might be imagined, was most contradictory. The plaintiff's case was that his omnibuses were constantly nursed by those of the company, one of their vehicles being behind, and one before each of his. On the other hand it was denied that there had been any "nursing" by the company's omnibuses, and it was positively stated that the defendants had, so far from encou raging any system of annoyance, given distinct orders against anything of the kind. Beyond this it was said that the plaintiff and his men were the aggressors, and that they had ‘f nursed" the com pany's omnibuses, and had annoyed and assaulted their men. The court was very much crowded during the trial, and in the course of Mr. Xnowles' reply some remarks of his elicited lend applause. One of the persons who had offended in this way was brought before his lordship. The delinquent stated that he was not connected with either party, and what he had done was not from any definite motive, but merely from the impulse of the moment. Under thes.' circumstances he vas discharged upon a pro mise not to offend again. His Lordship directed the jury that there was no evidence against Mr. Macnamara, no witness having said that he had been guilty of any impro per act; and as to Mr. Willen, there was only one witness who had spoken to anything affecting him. This was a policeman, who said that he had seen Mr. Willen making signs to the company's drivers, instigating them to annoy the plaintiff's servants. His lordship then went through the evidence on both sides in reference to the other defendant, Price, and left the case for the decision of the jury. The jury, after considering the ,matter for an hour and a quarter, found a verdict for the plain tiff as against Price only—damages one farthing. COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL ' CAUSES. Before Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Baron Martin, the Judge• Ordinary, and a Common Jury.) lIOWES V. HOWES AND FRY. Mr. Macqueen diondu?.ted the petitioner's case. The petitioner, William Ilowts, was formerly a grocer at Norwich, and he married the respondent there in January, 1850 ; he now prayed for a dis solution of the marriage on the ground of her adultery. In 1852 he became involved in pecuniary difficulties, and at the end of October he was obliged to go to London in order to make an arrangement with his creditors. He was absent for a few days, and upon his return he found that his wife had left his house. She did not return for a fortnight, and then refused to give any account of what she had done or where she had been. She asked for an allowance, and her husband refused to let her have it without some explanation of her conduct, She went away, expressing an intention to go to her mother's house. Howes went to live with his mother, who was a tallowchandler, and remained in her employment. About eleven months after wards Mrs. Howes applied to the magistrates, end upon their suggestion her husband made her an allowance of ss. a-week. He afterwards learnt that she was living at Yarmouth, and that she had formed an adulterous connexion with the co-respon dent, a hairdresser and p erfumer, a nd on making further inquiries he ascert ai n e d that she was lead ing a life of prostitution. The respondent, by h er a nsw er, recriminated and charged the petitioner with desertion, but did not appear to support those pleas.

Mr. Baron - Martin observed that the case was a 1. very peeuliar.one, and in his opinion the petitione- i had not as yet made out the allegations in the pe tition. At a later part of the day witnesses were called who proved the identity of the lady who had lived with Lord Ribblesdale since the separation with Mrs. iHervey. The jury found the issue of adultery for the pe titioner. Tv o • letters written Iby Mrs. Hervey after her elopeMent were read; in which. she acknowledged her guilt, and implored her husband's ibrgiveness. The Court then dissolved the marriage. WARNER T. WARNER AND MAYO. Phillimore, Q.C., and Mr. Pritchard sup ported the petition.; Dr. Deane, Q.C., appeared for the co-respondent. This was a petition by a husband for a dissolu tion of the marriage ou the ground of his wife's adultery. He was a grocer at Yeovil, and married the respondent in August 1847, and has had three children by her. She was a perSinilof intemperate habits, and he frequently remonstrated With her, but could not induce her to reform. In October, 185.3 she went by. the railway from 'Yeovil to Tann-. ton, and there passed a night ith •a man in a house of ill-fame. ." She returned the same week to her husband, but he refused to iepeive her, and has not since lived with, her. The petitioner charged adultery with the co-respondent, and with persons unknown, and also claimed damages from the co respond The respwient did not answer, but the co-respondent denied the adultery, and on. that! fact -ikisue was join e d. NO evidence was given of the identity of the co respondent with the person who passed the night with Mrs. Warner at Taunton, rnd by the direc tion of Mr. Justice Wightman the jury found a verdict negativing the charge against him, and he was dismissed from the suit. Further, evidence was then given of the adultery of the respondent at the date mentioned, including a letter from her in which she confessed her guilt and asked for money. Their Lordships dissolved the marriage. Dr. Deane applied for the co-respondent's costs. Their Lordships did not think it right under the circumstances to grant the application. BILLER V. BILLER AND GREEN. Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Dr. Swabey were counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Biller, a clerk in the Post-:Ace, married Emily Maria Turner, at St. Paul's Cray, in April, 1843, and during their cohabitation, which con tinued until January,lBs6, they had seven children. In June, 1855, they were living at Lewisham, and Mr. Biller let part of his house to a Mr. George H. Green. In the tolliiwing Janua - r3-, while Mr. Biller was absent for the day, Mr. Green and Mrs. Biller eloped together. She took the name of Bentley, and has lived with Green at different places in the suburbs of London. These facts were proved by several witnesses, among whom was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Biller, about 16 years old, who had been taken by Mrs. Biller to live with her and Mr. Green, and had stayed with them until she was taken 'away by Mr. Biller's sister. The fact of adultery was traversed by the respondent.. Mr. Justice Wightman summed up, and The jury found a verdict for the petitioner. The Court dissolved the marriage, and condemned the co-responderit in costs. PARKER V. PARKER AND 3I'LLOYD. Mr. Sergeant Pigott and Dr. Spinks appeared for the petitioner; Dr. Swabey for the respondent. The co-respondent (lid not appear. The petitioner, Mr. George Parker, alleged that his wife, Elizabeth Louisa Parker, had committed adultery with Robert M'Lloyd. The respondent did not deny the adultery, but pleaded that the prisoner had instigatedpild connived at it. The affirmative of the issue being upon the re spondent, the case was opened by Dr. Swabey, who stated that the marriage took place in 1849, and they cohabited at various lodgings in the neighbour hood of Islington, until the summer of 1856. It appeared from the evidence of the only witness called for the respondent, a Mrs. Robinson, who let lodgings in a house at Islington, that in March, 1855, Mr. and Mrs. Parker lodged with her ; that at the beginning of 183 U they went to live with his family at Queen's-road, Regent's-park; that dif fe-rences broke out bet ween Mrs. Parker and the members of his family, in consequence of which they separated, Mr. Parker remaining with his family, and Mrs. Parker going back to lodge with Mrs. Robinson ; that she bad an allowance of 10s. a week from her husband, who occasionally went to see her ; that in 1858 Mrs Parker brought a Mr. M'Lloyd to the house assigning as a reason that her husband did not give her a sufficient allowance, and that she and Mr. M'Lloyd lived together in the house as man and wife for three or four months. This being the only evidence given in support of the respondent's pleas, the Court directed to find a verdict upon them for the petitioner. Witnesses were then called to prove the allega tions in the petition. It appeared that Mrs. Parker was the daughter of a bricklayer at Cambridge, named Smith, and that in 1849 Mr. Parker, who was then a young man employed in the Emigration office, went to pay a visit of a month to a friend who was an undergraduate at the University, and there he became acquainted' with her. She was known as "Lizzie Smith," and he married her his visit vas • over without the. knowledge of his parents. She was th en 18 years o f age, and was not able to write her own name. They came to London and- . lived happily together for several years. Mr. Parker's family were much dis pleased at his marriage, but ultimately became reconciled to it, and in the spring of 1856 allowed him and his wife to live with them in the Queen'sroad. An aunt of Mr. Parker, Mrs. Tus tine, stated that Mrs. Parker there gave way to habits of intoxication, and that her behaviour to her husband and the other members of the family was extremely violent and discreditable. They remonstrated witd her, but without effect, and at last, one Sunday morning in June, 1856, she packed up her things and said she would go away. Her husband and his mother told her to consider well what she was about to do, but she persisted in her intention. She asked her husband if he would._ a al n l d ow sh l e ie t r h l e O n s g . a ot -week, e it ek,and b hea n a ca had been brought up as a milliner , and she now carries on that business. a d al went d thathewould, away.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-INN -ROAD,—The number of patients relieved at this hospital, during the week ending July 9, was 2,417, of which 753 were new cases. TUE CITY COAL DlfEs.—On Friday a numerous deputation waited on the Home Secretary, Sir G. C. Lewis, on the subject of the dues on coal imported into the port of London. The deputation was introduced by the Hon. G. Byng, supported by a great number of the members for the metropolitan boroughs. Mr. Byng stated that the object of the deputation was to ascertainwhat course the Government would pursue in the event of the Board of Works making an application to them to have the 9d. per ton that would revert to the Corporatio n o f L on d on i n 1862 t rans ferred to them.
