Fur MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. Increased ease prevailed in the discount market. The rate for good bills has declined to 22_ to 21 per cent• At the Bank of England, where the divi dends are payable to-morrow, there was a moderate amount of business. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes Opened at 68.30, and closed at 68.15 for money, and 68.30 for the account, being per cent. lower than yesterday. The Spanish Government announce for the 30th inst., at Madrid, an auction for the extinction of the Three per Cent. debt. The sum destined for the purpose is 14,997,645 reals vellon, or about £150,000. Th e amount of gold sent into the Bank to-day Was £109,000, making £681,000 since the last re turn. An extraordinary meeting of the London and Yorkshire Assurance Company will be held on the 1 4th inst., to transfer the business to another com- Pany. The gold discoveries have caused some excitement to-d a y in the shares of the Van Diemen's Land Com- Pany, which experienced a fresh rise of about £3. A special meeting of the Ceylon Railway Cora- Puny is called for the 23d inst., to receive a final report from the directors, and to dispose of the remaining property of the company. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Including the £109,000 taken there yesterday the influx of gold into the Bank of England since the date of the last return already represents a total of £681,000. It is consequently expected that the return to appear to-morrow evening will show a further accumulation of bullion, although the full effect of the recent receipts may not be exhibited, owing to the payment of the dividends, W hich is likely to have increased the circulation of coin. Gold is now about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, and 1-10th per cent. higher here than in Hamburg. The Oneida, which left to-day for the Brazils, took out £12,230 in gold. With regard to the silk trade, the following re barks are from Messrs. Durant and Co.'s circular : We have a dull heavy market in silk with very limited business. The last fortnight has been espe cially quiet—the reduction in price in the early part Of the month and the absence of arrivals in the latter part having equally failed to rouse the atten tion of Buyers or induced any renewed dis- Position to purchase. The advices from China by the last mail and also by the telegram r eceived yesterday were more or less of a charac ter to give strength to the market, but beyond any increase in the desire to realise they produced no effect —about 4,000 bales China and Japan silk are now a b out to be landed. The deliveries are only moderate, but so small have been the arrivals that the stock shows a diminution of 2,000 bales. Of Italian and French silk the uncertainty as to crop may be considered settled, the result being probably that the aggregate will be about the same as last season. There is considerable variation in various districts, and so also in prices. In Persian silk the arrivals have been comparatively large, but almost the whole had been sold for arrival. Two O'CLOCK. T here was a meeting to-day of the Union Baak In London proprietors, when it transpired that the ne t profits for the half-year ending 30th ult. _ am ounted to £75,522, which, a dd e d to th e sum o f 4;22,460 brought forward from December last, gave an available balance of £97,982. An increased di vidend of 15 s . per s b .are was therefore declared, free of income-tax, payable on and after the 21st T s t• This distribution will absorb £45,000, and °,OOO was appropr i ated to the Reserved Fund, leavi ng a surplus of £2,982 t o b e carr i e d f orward. The quiet, demand for money to-day is exceedin g ly and many of those who require accommoda tion are postponing their operations until the result bathe weekl y meet i ng of the Bank of England shall transpired, the impression being that the mini- Ittil.3l may be re d uced to the extent of 1 per cent. Is presumed that the resources of the establish-. ment have b een largely augmented, and that the directors, even if they do not make an alteration to morrow, will soon deem i t expedient to adjust their ter ms more an accordance with the general condi tion of the market.

Several petitions were presente I agah2st this bill. CLERGY RELIEF BILL• 5i 7 7i 37 39 21 3f 42 44 10 10) 4f 4,1 On the motion for the third reading of this 0 1 9 Sir L. FALK said that he felt bound to rc„oce as an amendment that the bill be read a third time that day three months. He contended that the principle of the measu:e was of the most objectionable character, as it enunciated 4 4i 31 31 5 6 40 42 the monstrous proposition that the House of Commons was entitled to release a priest from the vows which he had I undertaken, a power which the Pope of Rome, in the height of Roman Catholicism, never assumed. By the provisions of the bill any priest dissenting from the church might set himself up as a preacher of heresy in the very parish where belhad been officiating, or if he were so inclined he could divest himself of his ecclesiastical character altogether, and adopt some lay vocation. He urged some other objections to the bill and trusted the house would reject any measure of the kind which, both in principle and as he believed in practice, would be found mischievous. Mr. LYGON seconded the amendment. Lord HENLEY hoped the house would not refuse to read the bill a third time. He heard nothing during the discussion on the second reading ath anced by those who might be considered the regular representatives of the Church of England, and the bill had been referred to a select com mittee without any valid argument against it. He re garded the bill solely with reference to the interests of the Church of England, and having carefully listened to the evidence adduced before the committee, he came to the con clusion that those interests wouldlbe served by the adoption of this measure. The bill merely relieved persons from objections which they felt conscientiously could no longer be discharged by them with benefit to themselves in the Church of England. He thought it was highly de sirable that persons who were anxious to secede from the Church of England should have an opportunity of doing so, instead of remaining in the church and teach doctrines he no longer believed. It was very hard that a clergyman should be deprived of any means of obtaining a living by his exertions in a lay pursuit; and such a penalty was holding forth a premium to hypocrisy. A clergyman might succeed to a large estate, which entailed on him duties that were of an unclerical character, and in a case of that kind it would be most unjust to compel him to remain in the priesthood. He objected to the clause in the bill which made bishops pronounce sentence against seceding clergymen, which would have the effect of branding a man for acting in ac cordance with his conscientious convictions. He objected, also, to the clause which prohibited persons, who had once been in holy orders in the Church of England, from becom iag members of this house. After some further discussion, the house divided : For the third reading BB Against 9B Majority The announcement of the result was received with loud cheers. i 330 340 3 3 1171 110; 31 S 3 1i la 11 11; 12 13 33 35 235 245 87 02} 35 45 1$ 1,1 104 114 11 13 12 14 FOREIGN MINES. 20 Australian I BonAccord Copper,Lim ail 15 Rraziaand & all >4 I 4° Cobrc Copper all 19 22 20 Copiapo ... lB 7 8 2 Capula Silver los. pr fpm I Dun 51oun.Cop.M.ing . .Co ail 1 *1) 3 East Del Ray (Limited) 1 pr 2 Fortuna... 20 General all 21 ' 3 2 Gt N.

Justice Wightman—Was it a long letter ? with a petition from the visiting justices of Birmingham against the bill, which the petitioners said would have the effect of preventing Roman Ca.holic prisoners from seeing Protestant chaplains, and therefore having no opportunity of changing their opinions, if they desired. The hon. mem ber assailed Cardinal Wiseman, whom he described as the temporal officer of the Church of Rome in this country, and Legate Cullen, whose iescripts he described as incendiary. He trusted the house would reject the bill in such a manner as to prove the existence of sound Protestant feeling in the country. Mr. WHALLEY refused to withdraw the amendment, and the motion for the second reading of the bill was nega tived without a division. SALE OF BEER, &c., BILL. Mr. W. E. FORSTER, in moving the second reading of the bill, said that the object he proposed was to enable persons selling beer which was consumed on the premises to recover money for beer consumed on the premises, pro vided the score amount to 20s. Mr. ROEBUCK said that this bill resulted from the sentiments of sour minded men, who believed that they could make persons sober by act of Parliament. He re ferred to the case of his constituents, who were principally working men, as an illustration of the evil effects of such a bill, which, from the mode of payment adopted in their neighbourhood, would inflict a great deal of hardship. He denounced the bill as an unwarrantable interference with the humbler classes, and described it as a rich man's bill. After some discussion, in the course of which— it GREY said that he would not oppose the second reading of the bill, although he understood it would not have been passed this session. He considered that the clauses required alteration in committee The house divided : For the second reading Against Majority —3 The bill was accordingly read a second time. LAW OF PROPERTY AMENDMENT BILL. On the order of the day for considering this bill, Mr. HADFIELD moved the addition of a clause to fol low clause 7, by which it would be unnecessary to re-regis ter any judgment registered in the Palatine Courts or in the Courts of Westminster, and vice versa. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he could not see anv objection to the addition of this clause. The clause was then read a second time, and added to the bill. Mr. WALPOLE moved the addition of a clause, limiting the sequestration of benefices, the spirit of which is contained in the following extract : " That from and after the passing of this act no sequestra tion founded upon or for giving effect to any judgment for debt entered up against any beneficed clergyman with cure shall issue against the profits of his benefice, or any portion thereof; provided always, that nothing herein contained shall affect the provisions of an act passed in the 24th and 25th years of her Majesty, chap. 134, in relation to sequestra tions issuing against the benefices of beneficed clergy men becoming bankrupts, nor the provisions of any other act authorising the issuing of sequestrations of • the profits of benefices of clergymen for any special purpose. The right hon. gentleman said that an act was passed in the thirteenth year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, in which it was enacted that all chargings of benefices or ecclesias tical promotion with cure, and not being impropriated with any pension or profit out of the same, should be void. His object in the clause he proposed was to retain that act in full force. Mr. MALINS opposed the clause as he did not consider that a beneficed clergyman should enjoy any immunity in reference to debts he might contract. Mr. Malins, the Solicitor-General, Sir H. Cairns, and Mr. Henley opposed and Sir F. Kelly and Mr. Ayrton sup ported the clause. The clause was negatived without a division. Sir F. GOLDSMID moved the omission of clause 1 which related to the constructive notice of the Court of Chancery. The discussion was interrupted by the rules of the house, it being a quarter to six o'clock, THE SAVINGS BANK (IRELAND) BILL. The bill was read a second time. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned a few minutes before six o'clock, CRIMINAL COURT_THIS DAY. Ann Cornish Vyse was this morning placed in the dock, to answer an indictment charging her with the wilful murder of her two children, Alice Kate Vyse, aged 7, and Annie Vyse, aged 5. The prisoner was led into the dock, supported by two of the female warders of Newgate, and placed in a chair, ap parently suffering under the most poignant grief. Upon the clerk of the arraigns reading the indictment ; and asking the prisoner whether she was guilty or not guilty, she replied in a voice scarcely audible, " Not guilty." Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., with Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Besley, appeared for the prosecution, and Sergeant Ballan- tine and Mr. Metcalfe defended the prisoner. Mr. Chambers, in stating the case to the jury, entered at great length into the whole of the facts connected with the calamity ; but as they have already appeared at length in The Sun, there is no need of repetition. The first witness examined was Mr. John Taylor, assist ant to Mr. Keating, which was simply to the effect that he sold Mrs, Vyse three packets of " Battle's Vermin-killer." Mary Ann M'Sweeny repeated the evidence she gave at the c o roner's incuest. Sarah Saunders, sister to the prisoner, was next exa mined. Her evidence is perfectly well known. On com ing to the point relative to the letter her sister gave her on the day of the tragedy, she said—l did not read the note, I merely scanned it. I cannot recollect anything it con- Witness —A short one. Mr. Chambers—Can't you recollect one word ? Witness—No, not one word. I was so ill I don't know even how tho letter was addressed. Mr. Chambers —I have no wish to press hard upon the point, but can't you recollect anything to which it related ? Witness —Nothing. Mr. Chambers —Where did you keep it alter you received it ? Witness —In my pocket. Mr. Chambers-IVhen did you destroy it, before or after the inquest? Witness—Before . Mr. Chambers —Did you destroy it by direction of any person? Witness—No; of my own accord. Cross. examined by Sergeant Ballantine—My sister was forewoman to Mr. Vyse before he married her. I was also in the same establishment. My sister and myself were on the most affectionate terms. I have been with her a great deal since the lamentable event. My sister was a very kind mother to her children. I recollect her losing a child by death in . November, 1860. It was a year and 10 mouths ol as d. She was she could tight not able to gh. et to She it, as it was at Surbiton, early as always fancied she could have saved its life if she had been present sooner. There was also some unfortunate circum stance relating to its burial, The vault got over •flood ed. Ever since then I have observed a marked difference in my sister's manner. She has been desponding in the extreme. I know that the period of my sister being-, unwell passed without her being so. I know as a fact that she has not been unwell since the last week in April. Mr. Chambers —I believe your sister managed the con cern on Luigate-hill Witness—Yes. Mr. Chambers —And she was considered a good woman of business ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Chambers —How many persons are engaged in the ;louse ? Witness—About twenty. The cook in Mr. Vyse's service here repeated her evi -1 dence relating to the food the children had for dinner. Mrs. Harrison, the female searcher of the Fleet-street police-station, was then called. She said—l was in Mrs. Vyse's room after the discovery of the deaths of the chil dren. Mrs. Vyse sent for Smith, the porter. On his entering the room she shook hands with him, and said, " Ah, Mary, has been the sole cause of this here." Smith said, "Keep yourself quiet, ma'm ; if I could lay my life down, or 5,000 lives, to recall what you did yesterday, I would do so." Mrs. Vyse said, "It is done, and it cannot be undone." Cross-examined — l am certain Mrs. Vyse made use of the words I have used. I had no difficulty in hearing it. She spoke quite plainly. She did not speak quite as plainly as I do. Miss Saunders was not in the room when Mrs. Vyse made the remark. Miss Saunders was recalled, and in answer to Sergeant Ballantine said there is no person in the establishment that I know named Mary. I never heard my sister complain of anything about Mary before. The cook's name is Mary, but then she is not called by that name. Mr. Justice Wightman—Then you never heard your sis ter on any occasion complain about Mary ? Witness—Never. William Smith, the porter, examined by what Chtaomokbeprlas; He said, I will tell you all I recollect of when I went into the room in consequencetwhehonaftsb.eeinsgaids,enast for by Mrs. Vyse.

Dr. Payne, who attended Mrs. Vyse after she had in flicted the injury on her throat, is his cross-examination by Sergeant Ballantine, said—l consider that the prisoner having remained with the children and put them into bed after death was a morbid dwelling upon the deed. A sane person would naturally rush from the contemplation of such a horrid deed. I consider her remaining in the room after the death of the children a morbid dwelling on the deed. Mrs. Vyse, as a married lady, was then at a very critical period. I have known ladies in a similar condition to suffer severely from affections of the brain. Supposing there had been a morbid affection of the brain, the loss of CHURCH RATES COMMUTATION BILL. Mr. NEWDEGATE moved the second reading of this bill. After a short discussion the order for the second reading was discharged. ROMAN CATHOLIC PRISONERS BILL. Mr. HENNESSY, in moving the second reading of this bill, cited extracts from a return showing that a large pro portion of the prisoners in the United. Kingdom consisted of Roman Catholics who were about 14 per cent. in the pri sons of England and Wales. He complained that Roman Catholic clergymen were obliged to visit prisoners of their communion separately, and were not allowed an oppor tunity of addressing them together, which he contended was a great hardship on these clergymen. In some cases the visiting justices,acting on a principle of equity, violated the law by allowing Roman Catholic priests admission to the gaols without being subjected to the restriction imposed by the existing statute, a state of things which his measure would abolish. He 'proposed to give the visiting justices the authority of appointing Roman Catholic chaplains to the Government gaols, and to place the Roman Catholic prisoners on a footing of equality with those of the Church of England. Mr. WHALLEY strongly opposed the bill, which, if passed, would be virtually affirming the principle that reli gious truth was not considered by the legislature of so much importance as religious conviction. The hon. mem ber then contended that Parliamett was net justified in making any concessions in favour of Romanism, and denied that a case of hardship had been male out which should in duce the legislature to alter the existing law. Mr. HENLEY differed from the last speaker, and thought that a case of hardship had been made out, and praised the hon. member (Mr. Htnnessy) for the tempe rate and argumentative manner it which he had brought this subject before the house. However, ho could not sup port the second reading of the bill because he considered it would not accomplish the desira)le object which it pro posed, The question involved wts surrounded with con siderable diroulty, and he though a bill on this subject should emanate from the Government, considering the im portance of the matter. Sir a GREY said that arranoments wer e i n p rogress in regard to convict prisons to out the views of the hon. member(Mr.Hennessy), endue hoped similar arrange ments would be made with refereice to the other prisons in the United Kingdom. He agreel with the last speaker as to the difficulties with which thik question was attended. He trusted that the Government would be able to intro duce a bill on this subject, but h e would not pledge himself `o the introduction of such a bill He trusted, under the circumstances, that the present till would not be pressed. M. HENNESSY said that h e would introduce the bill with the understanding that the Government would take UP the important subject. Mr. NEWDEGATE said that he bad been entrusted * Fl made 111 - 1 1001 i in any ; of any MINES. 3.9.3 nil 3.0.0 7.12 6 561 175 8.12 4.14 1.14. 94 4.3.0 12.3 ) 9 0 24.9 10.6.7 28.9. 21& 141 i 10 } !ear not to b e hall year.

Mr. Savory, of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, spoke to the appearance of the bodies of the children after death, and also to the circumstance that strychnine had been admini• stered. Mr. Chambers—How much strychnine would kill child ren of the ages of the deceased ? Witness—That would depend on the mode in which it was administered, whether solid or in solution. I should say a quarter of a grain would most probably kill. Mr. Justice Wightman—What would be the most rapidly effectual ? 'Witness—Solution by far. Mr. Chambers —How soon after its administration would its effects become evident—suppose a couple of grains were given? Witness—l should think the effects would commence in about a quarter of an hour, supposing it were given in the form of a pill; but I cannot speak positively as to that point. Justice IVightman—Suppose it was given in solution ? Witness—Then it would act in four or five minutes. I gave the substance I obtained from the body of one of the children to a cat, and it produced the usual evidence of strychnine. Mr. Attfield, demonstrator,of practical chemistry at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, said—l analysed the contents of the stomachs handed over to me by Mr. Savory. In both I detected the presence of strychnine. 1 have also analysed " Battle's vermin killer" powder. It consists of starch, sugar, Prussian blue, and strychr ine—the latter formed 10 per cent. of the mixture. The packet given to me by Mr. Savory weighed 52 grains, and the strychnine in it would be five grains. From what I have heard from Mr. Savory I should say the sixpenny packet would contain a sufficient quantity to destroy the lives of two children. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine then proceeded to address the jury for the prisoner. He said in the whole of his lengthened experience, and the learned judge would bear him out, a more melancholy spectacle had never been presented in a court of justice. Here was the prisoner, a person but a short time ago surrounded by wealth and luxury, now at the bar of that court, charged with the highest offence known to the law—viz., of wilful murder of two of her children whom she loved. Whatever might be the result of their verdict the consequences were too terrible to contemplate, but before he concluded the difficult and painful task, he should, he felt convinced, leave no doubt that the prisoner was not, at the time, in a con dition to be responsible for her own actions. If the jury took that view of the case, even then it was impossible not to think that even the prisoner in the long incarceration that awaited her, would not have preferred, when she had been discovered with life streaming from her, that the kind interference had not taken place. He felt confident that the result of this lamentable inquiry would be such as to clear the name of the unhappy lady from the crime of killing her two children—children, as he had already said, she loved more than perhaps a mother ought to do. The absence of motive was a very important point for their consideration. In this case could it be said there was the slightest motive? Why, ordinary persons when they first read the circumstances con nected with the melancholy case, involuntarily exclaimed, " Why the woman must be mad I" and such he certainly thought would be their decision. It was well known that females suckling after becoming enciente were liable to at tacke of great nervousness, and he understood that was the case of the afflicted lady at the bar. He should also call before them evidence to show that many of the rola • fleas of the lady had been afflicted with insanity, and he firmly believed that there was no doubt that Mrs. Vyse suffered from the same malady, and that her mind at times was liable to lose its balance. The learned gentleman then commented on the evidence given by the witness Harrison, the searcher at a police station, whom, he said, he thought the jury would be of opinion was not quite the sort of person who ought to have been put in attendance of a person suffering under the frightful nervousness that Mrs. Vyse was suffering Nothing, to his mind, could bear out in a stronger manner the assertion that she was an irresponsible agent than that she, a fond, loving, and devoted mother, could witness the writhings and agonies of her children, and then with cool ness and composure proceed to lay them out on the bed in the manner they were discovered. He hoped that, after hearing the evidence he should adduce that the verdict would be such as to enable the remaining children of Mrs. Vyse to know their mother was not a murderess. The following evidence was then offered for the de- fence : Mr. Richard Vine, a chemist and druggist at Bayswater and uncle to the prisoner, said his brother Peter committed suicide, his mother was subject to melancholy mania, as also were two cousins of his. Dr. Hood, physician to Bethlehem Hospital, produced the book containing the entry of a patient named James Aynsherd, first cousin of the prisoner on the father's side, having been an inmate of the institution, and his discharge uncured. All forms of insanity were heriditary. Ayn sherd's insanity was what was termed paroxsymal, which means a species of madness 'which often resulted in suicide or homicide. Mrs. Elizabeth Saunders deposed to various acts of eccen tricity on the part of Mrs. Vyse's grandfather. He used to keep a great number of cats in his room, and used to sleep with his coffin under his bed. He was called in the neighbourhood in which he resided " Mad Saunders." Mr. Edney, of Ludgate-hill, bootmaker, knew Mrs. Vyse as a customer. He never knew a mother so interested in the personal appearance of her children as Mrs. Vyse. On the morning before the lamentable event, Mrs. Vyse brought back two pairs of boots he had made for the chil dren. She said they were not the elegant boots she had ordered. She conducted herself in a very violent manner. She used to look and:stare about in a very wild state. At that time he was of opinion that Mrs. Vyse was a person of unsound mind. Mr. Spense, of St. Paul's Churchyard, said he had also from the appearance of Mrs. Vyse, some days before the tragedy, formed an opinion that she was a person of un sound mind. Eliza Birkett, servant to Mrs. Vyse, said she remembered the death of the child. Mrs. Vyse was with the child night and day before it died. On some occasions she threw the tea things into the fire-place. The next morning she did not recollect doing so; and on being told of it she cried. Mrs. Vyse never took malt liquor with her meals. She said she could not take anything, as her head was so bad. Sha used to drink milk and water. Dr. George Merritt, the medical attendant on Mr. Vyse's family, also gave it as his opinion that Mrs. Vyse was a person of unsound mind. Dr. Forbes Winslow said—l have been in court during the whole of this trial. Sergeant Ballantine—You have heard the evidence, what is your opinion as to the state of mind of Mrs. Vyse ? Mr. Chambers objected to the question. Mr. Justice Wigntman thought the question could not be put. Examinationmeontinued—The suppression of menstrua tion would likely in certain cases operate prejudicially upon the brain where there was the heriditary taint of in sanity. Dr. Copland expressed his concurrence in the opinion of Dr. Winslow. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., then addressed the jury on the evidence adduced for the accused. The learned Judge then proceeded to sum up the evi dence, and said that if the jury were perfectly satisfied that the prisoner was in a condition not to discriminate between right and wrong, they could not find her to be a person of sound mind. The jury retired at 10 m inutes p ast five, and, a ft er an absence of only four minutes, returned a verdict of not guilty on the ground of insansity. There was another indictment against the prisoner, but no evidence was offered. The usual order for confinement during her Majesty' s pleasure was made by tb.e learned judge. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Wightman.) THE HENDON Tom` GuDY. J am es Lavinson was in dicted for the wilful murder of Sarah Ann Cocks at Hendon. The facts of this case have repeatedly appeared in The Sun. It will be remembered that the nnfoi tunate girl met er death from a gun-shot wound in the head, and the pri soner was accuse d of dischArging the weapon. T h e w itnesses h aving been examined, The jury retired to consider tlicir verdict. At a quarter to five the jury returned into court and y found the prisoner announce d that the strongly rec ommended him to mercy.

At the Salford Court of Record, on Friday, before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler, LL.D., the case of William Butterworth v. William Towers, was tried. The plaintiff is a small manufacturer at Prestwich, and the defendant a mill wright and machine maker, of Livesey-street. The plain tiff claimed £l5 10s. for board, lodging, washing, and clothing, supplied to the defendant's wife, from the 17th of February to the 21st of April last. The board, lodging, and washing were charged at the rate of £1 2s. per week. The defendant pleaded non-liability, and that the charge was exorbitant. Mr. Holker, for the plaintiff, said that the defendant married, in 1855, the daughter of Mr. William Wovendon, wholesale confectioner, of Shudehill. They lived happily together for a few months; but, unfortunately, the defendant had five children, among Whom were grown-up daughters, the issue of a previous marriage, living with him. They were prejudiced against the second wife, and soon succeeded in inflaming the mind of the defendant against her. He allowed them to insult her in his presence, and at last he began to treat her very cruelly himself. He frequently pushed her about, stru c k h er, and compelled her to eat her meals in the cellar "lik e a dog off a platter," while ho and his daughters took their meals in the parlour. He discharged his servant, made his wife do all the most menial work of the house, and made her his daughters' drudge. The result was that the woman had been completely broken down, physically and mentally, and was now a mere wreck. The defendant was subject to attacks of then• matism, on which occasions his wife attended to his wants. In the early part of February he had one of these attacks. About one o'clock one morning he called his wife, who had had but little rest during the night, and because she did not answer in a moment, he "gently kicked her off the bed." At nine o'clock the same morning he went down stairs, and ordered her out of the house, holding a poker over her head in a threatening attitude to compel her to go. She left the house accordingly, taking with her nothing but what she was wear ing at the time. She had a good wardrobe when she was married, but had never received anything from her hus band afterwards except boots. He would not allow her to go out more than once a fortnight. Though he was a man of large property, he allowed her only one shilling a fortnight for pocket money. The poor woman when turned out of her home went to her father's, and by his advice returned the same evening with a friend, named Mrs. Murphy, who endeavoured to procure a reconciliation, but without effect. Four days afterwards she again returned, when the defendant took her by the shoulder and turned her out. Afterwards Mr. James Riley, a friend, saw the defendant on the subject, when he said, " Let the consequence be what it will I'll not take her back ; but I don't mind paying anything in reason to get shut of her." He then offered to pay her 4s. a week ; for, he said, he " could get her kept for that in the workhouse." After this the wife went to live at plaintiff's house. The defendant had been twice writ ten to for the amount of the claim, but he did not reply, though he had since offered to allow her 10s. per week. In support of this statement, Mrs. Towers, the defendant's wife, said the defendant not only beat her, but his daughter Emma beat her also. On the morning in ques tion, the defendant followed her up and down stairs with a poker in his hand.—Mrs. Wovenden spoke to the value of the defendant's property. Mrs. Connor stated that she saw defendant push his wife out of the house the second time she applied for the reconcilation.—Jame Riley said he had heard the defendant declare that he would never receive his wife again. The plaintiff having proved that the goods were supplied, Mr Hope sub mitted for the defence that the wife had no right to leave her husband's house. He had told her to go when he was in a passion, and a passionate word did not show a fixed purpose to turn her out. A wif.; was not justified in tak ing a husband at his word in that way ; her departure from her husband's house was her own act, and not with her husband's consent, and, therefore, he was not liable. But supposing him to be liable, the amount was beyond all question exorbitant. He called the defendant, who ad mitted that he had pushed his wife about, but denied hav ing struck her. If he had struck her, it was not more than once. He also denied having pushed her out on the second occasion that she came to see him. He admitted having held the poker over her head, but said he had no intention of striking her; it was only to frighten her. — Emma Towers, a good-looking and smartly-dressed young woman, denied having beaten Mrs. Towers, but candidly admitted that she " detested" her, and always called her " Mary." She also admitted that the defendant had told his wife to go.—ln summing up the case, the judge said, if necessaries were supplied to a married woman, the mere proof of the fact of separation did not render the husband liable. The plaintiff must prove that the separation had occurred under such circumstances as to give him autho rity to supply such necessaries. He must prove either that the hu3band had turned the wife away; that he had used sufficient cruelty to justify her leaving ; or that the separation took place by mutual consent. With , regard to the amount of the claim, the jury knew the defendant's po sition, and they had seen the position which his daughter appeared to occupy, her style of dress, &c. ; and he (the learned judge) considered that the wife was entitled to dress at least as well as the defendant's daughter, and to occupy at least as good a position. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amsun; claimed, with costs. DEATH OF GENERAL STERNE. (From the Dublin Freeman.) In our obituary column of this day will be found the announcement of the demise of this venerable and distin guished soldier, whose days ended in the Four Courts Marshalsea, Thomas-street, at the termination of 36 years' imprisonment. His career was a sad and an eventful one, and, closing as it did, after a protracted durance of more than half the lifetime of ordinary men, it is invested with a kind of melancholy interest. Peter Baker Demsterville Sterne was a descendent of Laurence Sterne, and entered the army at an early age in the service of the Mexican Go vernment. He rose till he arrived at the rank of General, after having seen much active service. He returned to this country in or about the year 1824, full of hope and Arabi tion, and being a man of high attainments a nd fine per sonal appearance, his society was much courted. was taken against him, in which a verdict obt ained wasoft_s action his opponent, and for the damages and coesntsterinngi the he was imprisoned in the year 1826. A n act b o action n f life, he was under pri son, a Ene-looking man, in the the impression that the term and years rolled on, extend beyond a few days.

For these reasons he never sought for his release, but continued to reside amongst those whose misfortunes, follies, vices, or extravagances made his immediate neighbours. He grew old in his prison home, and those who visited it were often struck with the imposing appearance of the old gentleman, with his long silvery hair and beard, who always observed the courteous though distant politeness of one who thoroughly respected himself. This respect he imparted to others, and was highly esteemed by all who came in contact with him. He was an infallible authority on every event that occurred within the prison for nearly half a century, and in his circumscribed pexambulations he would from time to time give consola tion to some unfortunates, by telling of his own trials or those of others whom he had known in the prison. His bedroom was a curiosity, all hung round with newspapers, and the hangings of his bed were composed of old journals, in which were recorded circumstances referring to men and things long passed away and forgotten. The poor old prisoner peacefully closed his long and hidden life on Sa turday, after illustrating a strange and romantic chapter in the history of real life.
