ATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SCIENCE. This association inaugurated the sixth year of 1 its existence yesterday, conjointly with the Congres International de Bienfaisanee, which now holds its third session. The association still claims Lord Brougham as its president, and under his auspices it once more comes before the public with every promise of successfully achieving its self-allotted task. In the morning a meeting of the counsel was held, and in the afternoon there was a special ser vice in Westminster Abbey, when the Rev. J. Lupton read the prayers and lessons, and the ser mon was preached by the Very Rev. the Dean of Chichester, who took as the text the sth chapter of 2d Kings, Bth verse. The anthem was from Kent, " Blessed be those." In the evening the general meeting was held in Exeter-hall, about two-thirds of which, with the platform and galleries, was well filled. Shortly after the appointed hour Lord Brougham, followed by Sir J. Pakington and other distinguished mem bers of the association, entered the hall amidst loud and long-continued applause, and took his seat as President. Amongst those present we noticed Mr. Justice Keating, Hon. R. Kinnaird, M.P., Mr. A. Lefroy, M.P., Mr. R. Hankey, M.P., Mr. Freeland, M.P., Mr. Gregson, M,P., Mr. Recorder Hill, Pro fessor Pillans, Sir Charles Hastings, Mr. T. Cham bers, Q.C., Mr. Wm. Fairbairn, F.R.S., Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., M.P., Dr. Farr, Sir J. Jebb, K.C.8., Sir John Lawrence, K.CB., Sir David Brewster, Mr. Samuel Morley, Sir Erskine Perry, Rear-Admira, Sir Thos. Hastings, Mr. A. I. Stephens, Q.C., Mr, J. F, Macqueen, Q.C., M. Gamier Pages, Dr . Headlam Greenhow, Mr. Pollard-Urquhart, MY-, Mr. Ackroyd, Mr. Berwick Baker, Mr. Sheriff Twentyman , Mr. Robert Baxter, Mr. R. Rawlinson, Professor Henessy, Mr. Lumley, Mr. C. H. Brace bridge, Mr. Briscoe, M.P., Mr. Puler, MX., Sir H.Verney, Bart., and Hon. G. Denman, QC., M.P. Mr. G. W. HASTINGS, the general secretary, stated that the reception-rooms for the members of the council would be to -morrow (this day) removed from Old Bond-street to Guildhall, where all the departments, except that connected with jurispru dence, would meet at 11 o'clock, when the president of each department would deliver his opening ad dress. With regard to the soiree of the president and council, to be held in Westminster Palaccon Saturday, the words " full dress" on the cards were not, as was understood by some, intended to express uniform or court dress. All that was meant by the council was that ladies and gentlemen attending the soiree should appear in ordinary evening dress : but in saying this he would remark that it was by no means forbidden that any person, if ambitious to do so, should appear in uniform —if he had a right to wear it. (Laughter.) He would add that the books for the excursions which would take place at the close of the meeting, and for the dinner at the Crystal Palace, would be opened to-morrow, and it was requested that all who desired to attend would enter their names as soon as convenient in those books. The noble PRESIDENT then rose, amidst loud and long-continued applause, to deliver the inaugural address, which was of considerable length. The sixth congress of that association was, said his lord ship, opened in unhappy circumstances. They had reason to hope that that chair would have been filled by the Prince whose loss the whole world de plores; whose life was devoted to promote the social sciences, who never had but one object, nor felt but one desire—the strict discharge of all his duties: his duty to his family, his adopted country, and mankind. That the irreparable loss of such a man should be universally deplored by all, without distinction of rank, or party, or sect, was no mar vel, for all have suffered. But let all men of exalted station and commanding influence set be fore their eyes his career, ever bearing in mind the universal renown which he acquired, the affection and veneration which he inspired and let them be well assured that, con trary to what so generally happens, his imitators will have no second or subordinate place ; for . the glory gained and the happiness enjoyed by fol lowing his bright example will be equal to his own, now the object of their envy and wonder. Having referred to the interest shown in that institution by the deceased Prince, his lordship said it was at his (the Prince's) suggestion many inquiries connected with the trade and the usages of other countries were undertaken and an international department afterwards founded. The attention of distinguished foreigners, especially from France and Belgium, had in consequence been considerable, both at the Glasgow Congress and that of Dublin. But they had the satisfaction of receiving this year a much larger number, whose assistance would be invalu able in sharing their labours. An international as sociation, like their own, for promoting social science had been formed at Brussels, and had sent its repre sentatives to the present gathering. On this occa sion there was conjoined with the meeting that of the Congres de Bienfaisance—a body which had already met at some years' interval at Brussels and Frankfort, and had obtained the support of many distinguished philanthropists, both on the Conti nent and in this country. This body, though it does not range over so wide a sphere as the National Association, being restricted to questions of benevo lence only, undoubtedly comprised many of the subjects of its investigations, and might usefully exchange information with it. It intended elect ing the Earl of Shaftesbury to preside over it on this occasion. A committee had been formed in Paris for promoting the establishment of interna tional colleges of education, and represented here by M. Eugene Rendu, inspector-general under the University of France. It was found with satisfaction that since the last congress there had be en a con ti nuance o f th e progress in which its members then rejoiced, made by foreign countries in the various branches of social science, and by some countries in untries its only true and secure founda tion—the improvement of constitutional govern ment. The public opinion of Western Europe had penetrated i nto its E astern portions. The Czar was strenuously oc cup ie d a the enfranchisement of the labouring classes ; an d is might be expected to lighten the pressure on his Polish subjects, and to g ive them a sep arate government and restore na tionality, though upon abs olutrinciples. Even the Sultan had adopted in his policy, both commer cial and financial, suggestions the result of our ex perience. Austria was disposed to improve her in stitutions ; and possessing , more than other coun tries, the element of a working aristocracy, ifs he establishes a representative government on libe r al principles, the best security would be obtained fo r the peace of the Continent. Her comm ercial de velopment, too, was of immense importance t o she having, except cotton, every one raw material that we want, and requiring all that we manufac ture. The great defect of internal communication being supplied by the railways in progress, not only her trade with us will be incalculably ex tended, but she seems destined to be our high road to India—Vienna and Constantinople being the chief stations between London and Calcutta. The egregious error of Prussia in abandoning her liberal policy had served at once to cause the appli cation of a speedy corrective and to afford a new and signal example of the inestimable advantages possessed by constitutional government in main taining sound principles and preventing the excesses of royal or popular supremacy. The lesser States of Germany are on some matters divided among themselves ; but their disputes are conducted with out endangering the general peace, because the questions at issue are in the hands of the sovereigns, together with the chief members of the communities. The kingdom of Italy appeared at length to be secure of the only thing wanting to its consolida tion—the capital ; and the termination of the worst government in the world—the Papal temporal power; for it was inconceivable that the tyrant who had been dethroned and expelled from the South should any longer be allowed, with the help of that priestly power, to foment dissensions which consist only in supper ting horde s of robbers and murderers, whose i n h um an outrage s m i n i ster to his revenge by event s oppress. i tormen ting the people he can no longer The French had bee n g reat g ain ers by anee the last Congress. The new license so wisely g i ven to parliamentary proceedings had been attended , with none of the evils or the perils which at first • haunted timid, because unreflecting, persons. It was to hoped that the liberal measure, already adopted would be followed by others, so as to give the public voice the same regular and powerful in fluence in France which it had in England. But the present unhappy state of affairs in the New World was calculated to withdraw our attention from all other countries, and fix it upon the fortunes of our kinsmen, 'and the lessons which their institu tions, or their errors, are fitted to teach. A dread ful civil war had for 12 months raged among them, and the afflicting scene, distant though it be, had been regarded with as lively an interest as if it lay in our immediate neighbourhood, with every dis position to put the most favourable construction upon the conduct of all parties, and with the fixed resolution to take no part in the deplorable con test. 'The Government had not only maintained the most strict neutrality, but withheld all expression of opinion upon the matters in dispute, all intima tion of a wish as to the result ; and in preserving this passive attitude, enjoined a like b y wisdom and justice, it had also been the faithful representative of the nation. There was happily a speck in the recent aspect of American affairs which was most pleasing to contemplate, and whose brightness we may anxiously hope that no outbreak of the malti tude will be suffered to obscure. The Northern Government, to its infinite honour, had at length agreed to the mutual right of search—in other words, to abolish all that remains of the slave trade. It had long been known that the greater part of that infernal traffic was carried on in American ships sailing under false colours, none of their own cruisers interfering effectually. Both the English and French cruisers can now visit each suspected vessel, and the traffic is at an end. He regarded this as the second real blow struck at the slave trade. The first was the act which he had the hap piness of passing through Parliament, just half a century ago, for punishing it as a great crime, in stead of treating it as merely contraband—a law soon after adopted by America, but never till of late really executed. Let us hope that our Govern ment may be encouraged by this important success to use with Spain a language no longer capable of being misunderstood, and peremptorily to demand the execution of the contract for which she received so large a sum of money, and which she has ever since most scandalously broken, the result being the importation into Cuba of 40,000 negroes yearly. The American civil war had severely affected this country (as well as France), producing great dis tress in all those districts where cotton manufacture forms the staple trade. The subject was too pain ful to dwell upon, were they not relieved by observ ing the truly admirable behaviour of those who suffer the most. The distress had brought into view the happy advance of our artisan population in the branches of knowledge most essential to their well being. The hardships which they are enduring have not disturbed their minds or shaken their faith in principles which they had upon examination and reflection adopted in prosperous times, They know that the want of the raw material which sets their industry in motion would not justify England in using her power to breek the laws of nations for the purpose of obtaining it ; and they assent to the wise and just forbearance of our Government without a murmur. Their patience under sufferings beyond all former experience was truly affecting. They have made a noble sacrifice to maintain their position as self-supporting members of the community. Not satisfied with most patient endurance, they have sought how their resources might be most husbanded by co-operative associations, of which the number had been greatly increased since he described their proceedings at the Congress before the last. There I were now above 500 of those admirable institutions in the island ; and their importance might be esti mated by this, that 273 of them had 69,000 men-1 bers, a capital of two and a half millions, and their sales for the last quarter were upwards of £560,000. Co-operation was becoming a power in the State, and strenuous endeavours were making to mould the laws regulating those in stitutions into the best form for securing their 1 permanence and adaptation to their objects. 1 The subject of co-operation was the more impor tant, because it is comparatively in its infancy. It might perfectly well embrace branches of industry beyond those to which it is now confined ; nor was there any reason why country labour, as well as town, should not come within its scope. It was most gratifying to find, in addition to all that had ' been said touching the excellent conduct of the working classes, that the distress of the times (the male suado fames) has been attended with no in crease in the number of crimes. On the contrary, there had been a marked diminution in the number of commitments. The important subject of crimi nal treatment occupied much attention at the Dublin meeting, where they had the means of examining on the spot the working of the Irish convict system ; and the conclusion arrived at was, he believed, una nimous. It placed the Irish convict system far above all others which had been subjected to the test of experience for its success in accomplishing the great object of its institution—the reformation of the criminal; and what was witnessed in Ireland had created an ardent desire throughout England that we may as soon as possible enjoy similar ad vantages at home. A most able and conclusive paper on the general subject of reformatory discip line would, he trusted, be laid before the proper department. The great evil, indeed the extreme danger of occasional legislation, had often been acknowledged. A late trial of lunacy gave rise to great and general complaint of the judicature, from the prolixity of the proceedings, and the irrelevancy of many matters introduced—their irrelevancy to the one question before the court. A bill had been introduced to improve the procedure in lunacy gene rally, and there was great reason to apprehend that it sought in material respects unnecessarily to alter the law. One important and very salutary change was, the requiting each cause to be tried by a judge instead of an officer of the court, whose authority with counsel cannot be such as duly to control their proceedings. But a most unwise, and indeed absurd restriction, was imposed upon the admission of evidence which would have been wrong under the old procedure, but was wholly unintelligible now that a judge was to preside. That the late trial showed the necessity of some change was admitted ; but the objection was that the change goes beyond the exigency of the case, and in a wrong direction. It was plainly made to meet the outcry against por tions of the evidence adduced. Having adverted to the court-martial in Dublin, which bad given rise to so much discussion, and to the practice, which seems to have lately grown up in some of our colo nies, of proclaiming martial law by the mere order of the Governor, when any disturbance more than ordinary may occur, his lordship went on to say that the character of the officers and the discipline of the tion of a rray see were not more essential to the good of the . v 6 and the safety of the state, than the reputa tion of ju st i e the legal profession was to ' the administra- When it was considered, that from the bar a ll th e. to show alle were taken, enough was said plireaortant is everything that relates to the disci the profession. It was an obvious suggesti on f f r quirt' respecting th e "a p a late case, that in any in sional conduct of a mem e b r e so nal, that is, the profes should be present throughoutr of an inn of court, all proceedings whose opinion was to decid e sth the tran t: f the result. The of theot be classed measures for facilitating the been the sub jectand securing the title of owners, eenl r d °f real estate , having lon g with the occasional legislation _ season, the effects of the existing law of complaint. But some of the proposed changes were of a nature so questionable, and had been so little discussed in the country, that it was t o b e hoped their adoption may be deferred until the p ar . liamentary recess affords an opportunity for their fell and impartial consideration. The bill intro dueed more than once by himself should also undergo that discussion. After referring briefly to the sub feet of the revised code, recently under the conside ration of the legislature, his lordship dwelt upon the efforts which had been made, since the constitu tion of the association, for the well-being and com fort of our sisters, an important branch of social science within the scope of their plan. At the last year's congress in Dublin many papers were read and discussions held on the various branches of the (subject ; and among other considerable improve meats, women had been since employed on the tele graphs in very large numbers. But it was highly gratifying to find that most important measures had been taken at Edinburgh for meeting the evils com plained of in all their forms, and with a degree of judgment and circumspection equal to the benevo lence of the parties, so as to weigh all objections against each proposal, to remove the difficulties that exist, and to avoid the rocks on which benevolence too often makes shipwreck, and thus falls short of heueficence—the point at which it becomes not only a virtue but a good. The establishment at Edin burgh of the Society for the Employment of Women deserved the greatest attention, because of the singu larly practical views with which it had been con ducted, and the service it had rendered during the year of its existence, and the still greater things which it was engaged in adding to its present la bours. Miss Rye had added the encouragement of emigration to her other good works in behalf of fe male employment; but she, as well as Miss Parkes, Miss Faithful!, and others with whom she eo-ope rates, were most grievously represented, probably because misunderstood, when supposed to have for their object the setting up women in antagonism to men, whereas the whole design was to make them fellow-labourers with the other sex. This congress was happily attended by a far greater body of friends from the Continent than any former meet ing, in consequence of the affiliated associations at tending by their representatives. But indepen dently of this circumstance they had the presence of eminent persons from Germany, France, and Northern Italy, who would see with admiration, perhaps with envy, a people in possession of rights, secure against risks both from above and below— rights which no regal ambition can encroach upon, no popular delusion betray ; an aristocracy, the bar rier against domination of one master, and the more insupportable tyranny of the mob; a people in formed by a press, subject to no control but the law, and answerable for offences which the law has de clared and defined--a people sharing moderately and safely in ithe management of their own con cerns, but protected from that universal suffrage which, under the disguise of liberty, conceals the instrument of absolute dominion—a people blessed with the pure administration of justice, because dis tributed by judges who can neither be removed nor promoted according as their judgments satisfy or displease the possessors of power. Let us hope that our foreign friends will carry back with them such an impression, not only of the unspeakable benefits derived from our constitution, and the practice under it, but a conviction which all the dis cussions in the different departments will give them of its perfectly safe working in all respects, and the ease with which the more valuable portions of it may be adopted by other nations. Even without the variety of institutions, all have a common inte rest in the inquiries of that institution, and in the deliberations to s$ hich they lead. Its members were engaged in the high and holy work of seeking out social errors, to expose and correct them ; social abuses, to put them down ; social wants, to supply them ; social evil, to extirpate it—in looking for the sufferings of humanity with the purpose of ob viating or mitigating them. As there was nothing more delightful than affording relief to the distress of individuals, so it was in the power of all, and it was their duty to further the great measures which might ward off distress or disarm it of its pain; and whosoever helped this good work might taste the gratification of doing good upon a far higher scale, and be thankful to Divine Providence for having vouchsafed a triumph over evil, which it is more blessed to prevent than to cure. His lordship, during the delivery of his address, was frequently cheered, and resumed his seat amidst a hearty round of applause. Sir J. PAXINGTON moved, "That the warm and grateful thanks of this meeting be given to the President, Lord Brougham, for the address now delivered, and for the unceasing support which he has extended to this association from its commence ment to the present time." Mr. Justice KEATING seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously, amidst loud ap plause. The proceedings of the evening shortly after wards terminated. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The attendance of yesterday exhibited a consi derable falling off as compared with that of the preceding day, a circumstance for which the un ceasing rain will be quite sufficient to account. However it was rendered interesting in consequence of its including an early visit from the junior mem bers of the Royal family. At a very early hour the Princesses Alice and Helena, with their suite, arrived, and were received by Earl Granville, Sir Wentworth Dilke, and Mr. fs'andford, who con ducted their Royal Highnesses over the building. The visit was quite private, and their Royal High nesses promenaded the various galleries in the same unobtrusive manner as any other of the spec tators. For some time their presence was unob served, but at last the royal visitors were recognised, and a considerable but respectful crowd followed them in their promenade. In the general atten dance the presence of a great many schools was a noticeable feature, as marking the value set upon the Exhibition by the instructors of our rising generation. Some of the schools were private, others rublic, and amongst them we noticed the New-road, 56 pupils; the St. Andrew's-lane National 21 (these had been franked in by Mr. Bevan, the banker) ; the Myrtle House, Peckham, 14 ; Forest-hill, 34; Notting-hill, 18; Woolwich, 11 ; Croydon (Friends), franked in by Mr. Robinson, 87 ; Brixton, 13; Clapham (St. George's College), 17 ; these, with schools which attended on the previous day, making upwards of 1,000 ysung people, pupils either at private schools or public establishments, brought by their teachers to receive instruction from the Exhibition. Up to 5 o'clock the attendance was—Ticket holders 3,446, paid at doors 36,230, being a considerable falling off from the previous day, which being the anniversary of the Derby had been selected by 50,000 prudent people to have a" quiet look" at the Exhibition. The general impression now is that the public mind has really taken fire, and that next Monday will witness an attendance which will be the forerunner of the complete success of the undertaking. We are sorry to be obliged to state that the means of getting away in the evening still remain very insufficient. The omnibuses in attendance are ridi culously few, and the cabmen rule the situation with a most sublime contempt of the public conve nience. Thousands of people waited in groups all the way down to Hyde -park-corner, and no cab• driver that passed paid the slightest attention to their summons. Each driver was accompanied by a commissionaire, who had secured him for some party waiting at the doors ; and even when this was not the case, " Jel.u" paid not the slightest attention to any call, but hurried on to the doors where he expected to receive any fare which it might be his pleasure to extort. The omnibuses were all filled for the return journey long before they arrived at the regulated starting point ; so that those who were not initiated in the mysteries were obliged to trudge along on foot until they got beyond the sphere of the Exhibition influences. In Piccadilly and at Charing-cross there were numbers of cabs standing idle, from which it would appear that a little judicious regulation was all that was neces allonwNlviohorme- e th fo o r se s q a u r i y re t d o iste.curiet ism etaonsbeofhocponedve the prosperity of the Exhibition depends will look y th an a c t to those matters, and see that visitors are not re duced to the necessity of trudging along on foot in the rain, or of waiting for hours, and calling un availingly on cabmen who seem to set all the provisions of the act of parliament at defiance.

THE SUN, iONDON, FRIDAY, EVENING, JUNE 6. 1862, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE EPSOM RACES, THURSDAY. The weather was stormy, the hill empty, the racecourse gloomy, and the office of the polioemen a sinecure. The noise and din of Wednesday had passed into forgetfulness, the signs of a Derby-day being only manifested in the wet drapery of the suttling booths and the still standing sticks of the Aunt Sally-men, The winning of Caractacus, and unexpected defeat of The Marquis, were, as a matter of course, the main topics of conversation, and betting on the Oaks, which had been almost nil on the previous afternoon, began to Jake possession of the thoughts of speculators. On that event betting went on with some briskness between the races, of which there were eight on the card, the first being a walk over, and the fields for the others small. The Cup produced some little excitement through the meeting of Asteroid and Fairwater, but the horse, giving her 81b, made his own running, and won very easily. The Two yr-old Stakes, worth nearly £4OO, was won by a filly, which had been claimed fur £5O; and the finest race of the day occurred in a selling stake. A misty rain came on at half-past five o'clock, when the sport was brought to a con clusion with a sweepstakes, reduced to a match between a Derby horse and an inferior mare from the great French stable.

Going up the hill Bryn Gwyn was pulled back, and Lord Stanley went on with the running, followed by Dorking, Bryn Gwyn, Overton, and St. Lawrence, the others lying off, in which way they ran to the mile post, where the latter drew forward, Ace of Trumps being tailed off. On entering the straight Lord Stanley was beaten, and his place was taken by St. Lawrence, who, with Bryn Gwyn and Traveller, came on with the running to the enclosure, where he was headed by General Shirley's colt, who won very easily by a length, a like distance separating the second and third ; Bolero was fourth, Lord Stanley next.

A SCENE AT THE BLACKBURN BOARD OF GUARDIANS. A clean, old, decrepid man presented himself. " What's brought you here, Joseph ? " said the chairman. " Why, aw'v nought to d nor nought to tak to." " What's your daughter Ellen doing. Joseph ?" " Hoo's eawt o' wark." "And what's your wife doing ?" " Hoo's bin bedfast aboon five year." The old man wai relieved at once, but as he walked away he looked hard at the ticket, as if it wasn't exactly the thing, and turning round said " Couldn't yo let me be a sweeper i'th' streets istid, Mr. Eccles ?" A clean old woman came up, with a snow-white nightcap on her head. " Well, Mary, what do you want ?" "Aw could like yo to gi' mo a bit of summat, Mr. Eccles, for aw need it." " Well, but you've some lodgers, havn't you, Mary ?" " Yigh, aw've three." " Well, what do they pay you ?" " They payn mo nought. Theyn no wark, an' one cannot turn 'em eawt."

"Nay," replied the old woman, "he lives wi' me, an' he's eawt o' work too, Aw could like yo to do a bit o' summat for us ; we're hard put to't." " Don't you think she would be better in the workhouse ?" said one of the guardians. " Oh, no," replied another, " don't send the woman there ; let her keep her little place together if she can." Another old woman presented herself, with a threadbare shawl drawn closely round her grey head. " Well, Ann, there's nobody but yourself and your John, is there ?" " Naw." " What age are you ?"

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—.Tune 5, FULL COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell.) BAKER V. BAKER AND RICHARDS, This was the petition of the husband, praying for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery, and there was no appearance on behalf of the respondent or co-respondent. Dr. Spinks appeared for the petitioner. The parties were both in service in 1854, in which year the marriage took place, and they lived together until 1860, with the exception of occa sional separations, in consequence of their being in different places. In the latter year the respondent left her husband to go to a situation at Birmingham, where she formed the acquaintance of the co-re spondent at his father's house, where she lodged. An improper intimacy commenced between the re spondent and this person, and they had since lived as man and wife. It appeared that there was one child, issue of the marriage, which is still living, and that the respondent had given birth to a child since her cohabitation with the co-respondent. Decree nisi, with costs. NEED V. NEED AND VYVIAN. This was a suit instituted by the husband, who was a captain in the East India Service, for a disso lution of marriage, on the ground of his wife's adul tery with th© co-respondent, to which no appear ance was entered. Dr. Wamby and Mr. Villiers were counsel for the petitioner. From the evidence, a portion of which had been taken at Boulogne by commission, it appeared the parties were married in India on Oct. 20, 1845, and resided in that country until the end of 1853, when the respondent was ordered to England in conse quence of the state of her health. She was accompa nied by two daughters, the only surviving issue of the marriage, and took up her residence with the petitioner's mother, who was the widow of General Need. In the commencement of 1859 the respondent went to Boulogne, and applied for admission to the debtors' prison to see the co-respondent, who was confined there, and alleged he was her relation. The governor of the prison refused to admit her until she obtainedan order from the sous prefet, which she succeeded in doing. She then visited the co-respon dent daily in his chamber, and was in the habit of remaining with him until 5 o'clock in the after noon, when visitors were obliged to leave the prison. In May, 1859, the co-respondent was liberated, and he and respondent lived openly together as man and wife at Boulogne and Montreuil. It was also proved that the petitioner and his wife had been on very affectionate terms while in India, and he sup plied her with money up to the present time. Decree nisi, with costs. BLACK V. BLACK, This was a suit by the wife foie judicial separa tion, on the ground of her husband's adultery, and there was no appearance by the respondent. Dr. Spinks was counsel for the petitioner. It appeared that the petitioner was married to the respondent, who was a farmer, formerly re siding at Littleborough, Nottingham, in 1842, and they cohabited until January, 1855. In that month the petitioner discovered that her husband was carrying on an improper intercourse with a female named Catley, and she went to her friends, with whom she had since lived. It was also de posed that the respondent and the woman Catley lived together as man and wife, without any at tempt at concealment, and that during the period of their cohabitation the female in question gave birth to a child, the paternity of which was not denied by the respondent. Sir C. Cresswell pronounced the decree for judi cial separation. WOOLF V. WOOLF. This was a suit instituted by Mrs. Hannah Woolf for a dissolution of marriage with her hus band, on the ground of her husband's desertion and adultery, to which there was no appearance. - Mr. M. Smith, Q.C., and Mr. Aspinall were counsel for the petitioner. It appeared that the parties, who are of the Jewish persuasion, were married at the synagogue, Liverpool, in January, 1853, the respondent being a merchant, and the father of the petitioner, whose name was Josephs, being also a merchant. They cohabited until the May following the marriage, when the respondent, who was in difficulties, went to Australia, having promised his wife prior to his departure that he would return to England in 12 months. A correspondence was kept up for about two years; but then the respondent discontinued answering the letters of his wife, and she had not since heard from him. He had been in business at Melbourne, where he kept an extensive refreshment room, and was in the receipt of £l5 or £2O a-week, and he was afterwards in business at Ballarat, but he had not contributed anything towards his wife's support. It appeared also that he had been leading a most dissolute life, and that he was at present living in a state of adultery. Decree nisi, with coats. HARRIS V. HARRIS AND LAMBERT. This was a suit instituted by the husband for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery. The respondent appeared, but put in no answer, and the co-respondent did not enter an appearance. Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Mr.' Lewis, were counsel for the petitioner. From the statement of counsel it appeared that the petitioner, who had been a wine-merchant, be came acquainted with the respondent at Vauxhall, in the year 1849, and three weeks after they were married, the petitioner at the time being only 21 years old. There was no issue of the marriage, which proved a very unfortunate one ; and in March, 1853. the petitioner, who had spent £4,000 of money which he had received from his relations, determined to emigrate to Australia with a view to improve his fortune. He returned to England after some months' absence, without having suc eeeded in his object; and discovered that his wife, who prior to the marriage had been living with a gentleman who allowed her £lOO a-year, had been guilty of the most profligate conduct from the time of his departure until his return. The Court reserved judgment, being of opinion that there was some ground for suspecting collusion between the parties, the respondent having received a sovereign for attendance at the trial to be iden tified. WOODHEAD V. WOODHEAD. This was a suit instituted by the wife for a dis solution of marriage, on the ground of her hus band's cruelty and adultery, to which the respon dent pleaded, and denied the allegations in the petition. Dr. Spinks was counsel for the petitioner. The evidence was to the effect that the parties were married in March, 1857, and lived at Oiler ton, Nottinghamshire, where the respondent carried on business as a grocer. The respondent was in the habit of cursing and swearing at his wife, and behaving very unkindly towards her • and last November she discovered that he had been carry ing on an adulterous connection with a woman in 011erton, named Brown. Amongst the acts of violence deposed to, were pulling a chair from under the petitioner, throwing a glass of ale at her, pushing her violently and bruising her hip, and cutting her ear by knocking her head against a table, threatening her with a razor ; also threat ening to burn the home down. Decree nisi, with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—June 5. GUILDHALL.—THE BANK NOTE ROBBERIES AND FORGERIES, AND THE KINGSLAND JEWEL LERY ROBBERY.—Benjamin &Mud. Itedburn, who has been several times examined relative to a va riety of charges arising out of the great jewel rob bery at Kingsland, and the extensive forgery of bank notes, was brought up for final examination before Alderman Abbis, when the owner of the gold was brought forward and his evidence taken. Mr. Mullens, the solicitor for the prosecution, said he had no further evidence to offer. Mr. Lewis then addressed the Court for the pri soner, and very ingeniously argued that the offence under the statute of unlawful possession of the por tions of bank-notes produced could not be sup ported as such, as there was no evidence to trace the personal possession of them to the prisoner, or that the place in which they were found was ex clusively occupied by him. On the contrary, it was shown that others had access to the prisoner's room in his absence, and there was nothing to prove that at any time he was cbserved in any secret occupation. It was therefore manifest that the evidence was as strong against those who had access to his room as it was against the prisoner himself. He was sure the worthy alderman, if he were on the jury, would not convict the prisoner on such evidence, and he therefore thought he would not commit the prisoner on that charge. With re. gard to the charge of stealing notes, it was quite clear that if the unlawful possession could not be proven, the charge of stealing must fall to the ground. In reference to the jewellery, all he had to say was that the property had found its way into the prisoner's possession, after a lapse of time, such as could be a satisfactory answer to the charge, if sent to the Old Bailey. Alderman Abbiss said Mr. Lewis's observations would have carried more weight with him if it had not been for the extraordinary conversation over heard by Inspector Foulger. Under the circum stances he had made up his mind to commit the prisoner for trial on all the charges. Committed accordingly. WESTMINSTER. —CABs AT THE EXHIBITION. —IMPOBTANT QUESTION.-111r, Frederick Owen, of 45, Queen's-road, St. John's Wood, appeared to a summons charging him with neglecting to pay the full amount of fare charged by a cab driver. William Garner, the complainant, s t ate d t h at h e was fetched from he Eyre Arms, St. John's Wood, and took the defendant and a lady up and drove them to the Exhibition, where defendant only gave him 2s. ; as the ground driven ex ceeded five miles his legal fare was 2s. 6d., and he had therefore taken out the present summons against the gentleman for 6d. There was no time to say anything to the defendant, as the police would not give the complainant time to stop, but immediately ordered him away. Such was their practice at the Exhibition, and the poor cabman was daily defrauded of part of his fare unless he knew where the person be took up resided. Mr. Arnold observed that such a proceeding on the part of the police was very unfair. Cabmen were summoned and convicted if they overcharged those who rode with them, and every facility ought to be afforded them to obtain the amount to which they were entitled. Mr. Owen said he had no complaint to make against the driver's behaviour; he was exceedingly civil. By the route he had taken outside of Hyde Park there could be no doubt that he had exceeded four miles, but the question in dispute was whether he was not bound to have driven the shortest way. Mr. Arnold said he was bound to do so. Mr. Owen said that such being the case he was not entitled to the amount he claimed, as by the new road through Hyde Park the distance was less than four miles. Mr. Arnold observed that the commissioners of police had declined to have the distance through the park measured because it was a private road, and cabs were therefore not bound to go that way. Mr. Owen observed that hundreds of cabs went through it daily. It had been a road made for the public to reach the Exhibition. Mr. Arnold repeated that if the commissioners considered it a private road and refused or declined to have it measured, he should hold that a cabman was not bound to go through the park; if he did go he could not ascertain the measurement. The vari ous distances throughout the metropolis had been measured under the authority of the commissioners of police, and the words of the statute were that such measurement was to be conclusive evidence of the distance ; the magistrates were left to make their decisions upon the table of fares. _ _ Mr. Owen observed that he did not go by the shortest road by which as a principle he was bound to charge. _ _ _ _ _ Mr. Arnold said that that must be the shortest public road, and such road the commissioners would have had measured. Mr. Owen expressed his opinion that the new way through the park must be deemed a public road for all the purposes of the Exhibition. Mr. Arnold said that with the statute before him declaring that the commissioners' measurement should be conclusive evidence of the distance froth place to place, he was decidedly of opinion that if the cabman had driven through the park he was entitled to the fare for the distance set down by the commissioners, although measured by the street routes. Supposing a dispute arose upon a distance not in the table of fares, he did not know whether the park-keeper would permit the court wheel to enter the park to measure. He must order the de fendant to pay the 6d and 5s costs. Mr. Owen observed that had the police given time, when he alighted, for a moment's explanation, all would doubtless have been settled without com ing there. Mr. Arnold recommended the cabowners to send a memorial to the commissioners upon the subject complained of. WORSHIP-STREET.—Yesterday Thos. Horne, a well-dressed man of 28, was charged with felony. The prosecutrix, a good-looking woman named Martha Alured, stated that in 1859 the prisoner was introduced to her. He afterwards paid his addresses to her, and they were engaged to be mar ried in August last, and she some time afterwards found that she was likely to become a mother. In September, 1860, her sister, who resided at Harleston, in Norfolk, died, leaving her all her wearing apparel and other property, and the pri soner accompanied her down there in the following month to receive possession of it. The property was packed up in three trunks and a packing-ease, and was directed by the prisoner to be forwarded to the goods station of the Eastern Counties Railway in town, whence, upon their coming to London, he transferred the boxes to a coffeehouse in Church street, kept by her cousin, Mr. Mayell. They had not been there long before the prisoner removed them from Mr. Mayell's house to his own, in Lee street, Kingsland, and she saw the goods safe at both places. At various times during this period the prisoner had borrowed sums of her, amounting in the whole to £l4, for which he told her he would allow her interest. He gave her an 1.0. U. for the money. This she placed in an envelope, which she deposited in one of the boxes at the prisoner's house, but on going to this box in March last she found the envelope in it, but empty. The prisoner after that treated her with great coolness, and con tinued to do so until the 20th of May, when she re ceived the startling intelligence that he had paid for his passage on board the Matilda Wattenbach emigrant ship, then in the East India Docks, and about to sail for new Zealand, where a great num ber of persons, Nonconformists like the prisoner, had determined to form a settlement. She and her cousin, Mr. Mayoll, immediately called at the pri soner's house to demand possession of her packing case and trunks. They obtained them with some difficulty, but upon opening the boxes and case a quantity of her property was found to have dis. appeared. Mr. Mayell therefore applied to the police on her behalf, and on accompanying Excell, a constable of the K division, to the docks on the morning the Matilda Wattenbach was to start on her voyage, they caught the prisoner on the quay, just as he had been to see his baggage properly stowed away, and gave him into custody. Mr. Mayell confirmed the prcsecutrix in as many facts as he was concerned in, and added, that on calling at the house of the prisoner to obtain the restoration of her property the prisoner refused to deliver the case and boxes unless they paid him for 18 months' warehouse-room. The witness told him to make out his demand, and the prisoner wrote out a bill for £1 16s. The witness said he would pay the amount at once if he would allow them to see the contents of the trunks, but that the pri soner refused to do. Excell deposed to accompanying the prosecutrix and last witness on board the emigrant ship, by order of the magistrate, and stated that on over taking her at Gravesend, which she had then dropped down to, they found that a good portion of the prisoner's luggage had been stowed away in the hold and could not be got at. The officer in command pointed out the rest of his luggage. In one of the boxes were found a number of articles which the prosecutrix at once identified as hers, and as forming part of her stolen property. Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, for the defence, believed he had a perfect answer to the charge, and that the prisoner's conduct would not turn out so heart less as it now appeared. He trusted the magis trate would accept bail for his client, and not lock him up till the sessions. - Mr: Leigh said he could not see that the pri• soner was deserving of any sympathy from him ; it was altogether a bad case. He did not think he should be doing his duty if he accepted bail under such circumstances, and he should decline to do so. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. WANDSWORTH.—Robert Lacey, an omnibus driver, was charged with being drunk, furious driving, and causing the death of Mr. William Gooding, a gentleman residing at Dalston. It appeared that between nine and ten o'clock on Wednesday night the prisoner was driving a party home from Epsom races in a private omnibus drawn by four horses. The deceased was seated on the end of the off-side seat. On reaching the Clapham road a great number of carriages of every descrip tion were endeavouring to pass each other on their way home. As they proceeded several heavy car riages passed him on the near side, and by degrees his horses veered from the centre to the off-side of the road. The only one passing in a contrary direction was an omnibus, and from the state of the road the driver was proceeding on his near side, close to the kerb. He, seeing the danger, pulled up, and as the p r i soner p asse d, hi s off fore-wheel _ caught the off fore-wheel of the other omnibus , and they became locked t oge th er . In the collision the the deceased's leg was jammed between the ironsasobliges of onth two off-side seats, in which position he w to remain some minutes, until the e two were extricated. It was found that was literally crushed his leg had been caught below the knee, and to pieces. A surgeon was sent for, and the deceased e was lifted to the roof xopfirtedhe. other_ omnibus. H e shortly afterwards i When the priso ner was asked if he was the driver of the four-horse omnibus he stated that he was not.He was taken to according to the evidence o f two the station, and , constables, under the influen ce Considerable damage was d one to the of liquor. be was found to be ot h er om nibus ; the iron of the seat was torn off, and window and th e panel broken. 'three deceased, who g entlemen, friends of the sat in front of the omnibus, stated that the prisoner was perfectly sober, and that he drove the horses at a steady and cautious pace. Mr. Murphy, an omnibus proprietor at Dalston, and who was one of the party, also stated that the prisoner; who was in his employ, was quite sober, and bore an excellent character. Mr. Dayman thought the unfortunate occurrence was simply an accident. He discharged the pri soner. SOUTHWARK. Sarah Fast and Sophia Weeks, two very respectable-looking young wo men, who refused to give their address, were placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged with stealing a gold watch and chain, worth 40 guineas, from the person of Mr. Richa r d Wilcox Boyle, in a railway carriage, on the journey from Epsom to London. Mr. Richards the inspector of the Brighton and Epsom Railway Company's police, was in attend ance to watch the case. The prosecutor, a gentleman residing at West Ham,Essev,said that on the preceding day he went to Epsom Races by the London, Brighton, and Ep som Railway, and a little after 9 o'clock he got into a second-class carriage at Epsom to return home. Two gentlemen sat opposite to him in the compart ment ; himself, the two prisoners on each side of him, and two gentlemen occupied the other seat. Prior to his getting into the railway-carriage he unfastened his guard and deposited that and his watch in his waistcoat-pocket for safety. As soon as the carriage was filled and the train started the prisoners commenced singing, and reached across him to each other, About ten minutes afterwards he missed his watch and chain, and feeling setisfied that the prisoners were the thieves, he took no notice or said anything of his loss until the. arrival of the train at the terminus, London- bridge, when he called a constable and gave them into custody. Shortly afterwards his watch was found. The prisoners saw that he had put his watch into his waistcoat-pocket, as he had to wait in the station two hours for the train. About an hour before starting they came up to him in a very nervous state and told him that some one had picked their pockets of their money and railway ticket, and that they had no friends at Epsom. Unless some one, they said, would take pity on them, they would have to remain about the streets at Epsom all night. Believing from their appearance that they were respectable young wo men, and that such was the fact, he told them that they should not be lost for a friend, and he went and purchased tickets for them, and they followed him into the same carriage. Mr. Combo inquired whether he was sober then. The witness replied that he was perfectly sober, and he acted as courteously to the prisoners as if they had been his own sisters. Police-constable 78 H said that he was on duty on the platform of the Brighton and Epsomßailway at London••bridge when the train came in. The prosecutor called to him from one of the carriages and gave the prisoners into custody for robbing him of his gold watch and chain. They both indignantly denied the charge; but East seemed very uneasy, and when near the Stone's-end Police-station, she dropped the watch from her hand. Perceiving what she was about, he caught hold of it, and then he asked her where the chain was. She pointed to the pocket of her dress, in which he found only a small gold chain. _ _ The prosecutor informed his worship that that was merely the chain which had been fixed to the guard, with a key attached to it. Both prisoners had been carefully searched at the station, but the other chain could not be found. Inspector Richards and Scannell, a detective of the South-Eastern Railway, said the prisoners were not known. From what they had heard they thought they were young at the trade. The prisoners pleaded " guilty," wishing the matter settled at once, as they did not want their friends to be acquainted with their disgrace. Mr. Combo sentenced each to six months' hard labour at Wandsworth. COUNila MARKE2S.- , ,1,. BIRMINGHAM—JUNE 5. There was a short supply of English wheat, which sold at barely last week's rates.
