COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) HUNT Y. HUNT-APPEAL JUDGMENT. This was an appeal from the decision of the Master of the Rolls, refusing to grant an injunction against the appellant's husband, to restrain him from proceeding in an a?tion in the Divorce Court for restoration of his conjugal rights in contravention of deed of separation, executed by them, whereby ho became bound not to sue for a restoration of his conjugal rights. The Lord Chancellor at the rising of the Court before Christmas expressed an opinion contrary to the decision of the Master of the Rolls, and having reconsidered the case during the recess, his lordship (the Lord Chancellor) this morning delivered judgment, reversing the decision of the Master of the Rolls, and granted the injunction asked against the husband. APPEAL JUDGMENT.-PHILIPS V. PHILIPS. This was an appeal from a decree of Vice-Chancollor Sir John Stuart. The suit was instituted for the purpose of obtaining an account and payment of what was due to the plaintiff, who sued as a pauper in respect of the arrears of an annuity of £2O granted to him in 1820. the bill stated that John Philips, the brother of the plaintiff, by indenture dated Feb. 4, 1820, charged an estate called Blanaway, which he had inherited through his father's intestacy, with the payment of the annuity of £2O to the plaintiff for life. The estate at that time WAS subject to a mortgage of £1,200, and the annuity was payable after the death of his mother. The defendant asked to set aside the deed from want ol valuable consideration : and pleaded the Statue of Limita tion. The Vice-Chancellor held that there was no evidence to show that the annuity deed was a voluntary deed, and there was no evidence to show that the defendant had not re ceived due notice of the deed; and, moreover, the defence that the plaintiff had not purchased for a valuable consi deration ought to have been pleaded, and, therefore, his honour made a decree in favour of the plaintiff, with costa. Against this decision the defendant appealed. The Lord Chancellor affirmed tho decision of tho Vice- Chancel'or, and dismissed the appeal, without costs, in respect that the plaintiff sued tn forma pauperis. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Hilary term commenced this morning. The new judge, Mr. Justice Mellor, having gone through the usual for malities, took his seat on the bench. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. In this court their lordships were occupied in hearing the arguments of Mr. O'Malley in a case in which the point raised was the fulfilment of a contract for the conveyance of certain goods to llavre. It was totally devoid of public in terest. The Lord Chief Justice said a communication had been received stating that Mr. Edward James was very unwell, and therefore he thought it would be convenient, if such a circumstance was known, that the Court should postpone all the cases in which his attendance was absolutely essential until he was able to attend. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Before Chief Justice Erle.) COOKE V. HUMBER. This was an appeal from the decision of the Revising Barristers of Bridgwater, and the question raised was whe ther, when both landlord and tenant resided on the premises, who had the note. The plaintiff claimed the vote on the ground that he occupied certain portions of the house, and had uninterrupted right of access. The revising barrister held that the claim was not such as could be considered a householder, and therefore disallowed to vote. The Court thought the decision of the revising barrister was right, and therefore confirmed the decision. WILSON V. ROBERTS. This also was an appeal from the revising barrister for the City of London, and the question was .whether the claimant holding certain offices in a house had the right of voting. He had the uncontrolled right of ingress and egress, but he did not reside on the premises. The revis ing barrister held that it was not such a separate tenement as, under the Reform Act, gave the right to vote, and therefore disallowed the claim. The Court confirmed the decision. POLICE INTELLIGBNCE.—(.77Iis Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO LADIES-- - Wm. Holden, a dirty-looking fellow, and who informed Sergeant Boden, of the D division, who took him into custody, that he had tramped up to London from Manchester, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with picking the pocket of a lady in Oxford-street. Sergeant Boden; 11 D, said that on the previous evening while passing Montanari's wax doll shop in Oxford-street, being on the top of an omnibus at the time, he saw the pri soner standing by some ladies looking in the window. Suspecting his object, he got down from the omnibus and placed himself behind a cab stand, co that he might watch him, and he then saw the prisoner try several ladies' poc kets, and at last take something from one and walk away. Me followed him, and saw him examining something, and on afterwards taking him into custody he frund on him the portemonnaie produced. On the way to the station prisoner said why he came to London was because he had no work, and he had lost the use of one of his hands, but it was that hand which he used to pick the lady's pocket. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the officer whether it was a valuable purse ? Sergeant Boden said that although it glittered it was not gold. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for three months with hard labour. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY BY A SOLDIER AT SHORN CLIFFE.—Francis Hayward, aged 26, a private in the 2d battalion of the 25th Regiment of Foot, now stationed at Shorncliffe, was brought before Mr. Selfe. charged with stealing a gold Geneva watch, the property of an officer of the regiment. On Sunday night last the prisoner met with a woman of the town, and, after treating her, accompanied her to a house, No. 2, Devonshire-street, Commercial-road, where he remained for the night. On the following morning the prisoner handed a very small gold Geneva watch to the woman he had met the night before, and requested her to raise a loan upon it. She gave the watch to Mary Lye, the lanai:ly of the house, who offered it in pledge at the shop of Mr. Falkard, a highly respectable pawn broker in the Commercial -road East, who has been mainly instrumental in bringing many offenders to justice. Mr. Falkard immediately detained the woman and the watch. Mary Lye at once stated how she obtained the watch, and the prisoner was sent for, who said he bought the watch of a corporal in his regiment, and demanded that it should be given up to him. Mr. Falkard persisted in detaining the watch, and requested the soldier to call upon him in a few days, and if his story was correct, the watch should be delivered to him. The prisoner made use of some harsh language and left the shop. Mr. Falkard wrote to the adjutant of the 25th Regiment at Shorncliffe on the same day, and gave a description of the watch. The adjutant answered the letter, and stated that such a watch had been stolen from the apartment of an officer of the regiment three months ago, and the police had been in search of the prisoner ever since. Yesterday (Friday) the prisoner was seen to enter Mr. Falkard's shop again, and he was followed by Inspector Griffin, who immediately took him into custody. The pri soner again stated that he had purchased the watch of a corporal in his regiment, and in verification of his statement produced a letter with the Folkestone post mark, and dated Jan. 9, 1862, upon the envelope. This letter was no doubt written in answer to one sent by the prisoner to the writer, for the purpose of deceiving Mr. Falkard and the police. The end of the first leaf of the letter was torn off, and the writer's name with it. Inspector Griffin handed the letter to Mr. Selfe, who read all that was left of it as follows : " Shorncliffe, January 9, 1862. "Dear Friend,—l am very sorry to hear that anyone should doubt your word, but if they don't believe you, you can refer them to me, for I sold you the watch for a sove reign, so I hope you will satisfy them. I was in hopes of being able to buy it of you again, but if you are obliged to part with it I cannot help it, but I don't know what I shall tell my father when T go home if he asks me where it is, but I don't know whether I shall go home or not yet—so no more at present from" Mr. Selfe believed there was an accomplice in the rob bery, and it was quite evident for what purpose the letter just lead was written. Mr. Stephen Burnett, assistant to Mr. Falkard, pro duced a small gold Geneva watch. It was a valuable one, made by Grohe of Wigmore-street, and worth 10 guineas. The prisoner told him he bought it of a corporal for £l. Inspector Griffin said that after cautioning the prisoner he made the following statement, which was taken down in writing :—" I bought the watch of Corporal Caleb Wil liams, No. 4 Company, 2d battalion 25th Foot, for a sove reign. I asked him what it was worth, and he said £2 or D. I did not ask him where he got it." Mr. Selfe said the conduct of Mr. Falkard and his assist ant was deserving of great praise. lie requested Inspector Griffin to continue his inquiries, and obtain the attendance of the officer who lost the watch. He then remanded the prisoner until Thursday next. .EXECUTION AT EIRKDALE. To-day at noon the execution of M'Cafferay, the soldier who shot Col. Crofton and Captain Hanham, at Fulwood Barracks, Preston, took place in front of Kirkdalo Gaol. There was a large concourse of spectators. The unhappy man since his condemnation became very penitent, and acknowledged the justness of his sentence. Calcraft, the London executioner, carried the sentence into effect. Forty guineas per cent. were paid at Lloyd's a few days ago to effect fresh insurances on the ship Mary Fry, overdue from Montreal. Intelligence was received yesterday of the arrival of this vessel in the Downs. THE UTILISATION OF THE SEWAGE OF THE METROPOLIS. After some years of distrust, delay, and debate, we ap pear to be coming to a solution of this problem through a proposal which is at present before the Board of 'Works. The Board has in hand our delivery from a nuisance, and it seems to be not only about to accomplish its work of drainage within the specified time and the estimated cost, but to be also on the point of arriving at the conclusion that others can convert this nuisance to a benefit. The state of the case at present is simply as follows :—The controversy between the Government and the Board of Works them selves is closed, and the Board are now fulfilling their obligations to carry the sewage to outfalls beyond the limits of the metropolis. They aro still, however, liable to indictments for nuisance, under the provi sions of the " Metropolitan Main Drainage Act" of the 2d of August, 1858, should they cause any annoyance to the inhabitants in the neighbourhood of the place of outfall. It is natural, therefore, that they should view with much apprehension the experiment of discharging such a vast body of sewage as that derived from the northern area of the metropolis, and estimated at 10,000,000 cubic feet per diem, in the near vicinity of popu lous neighbourhoods ; and not only may they anticipate re monstrances, which may be well founded, from Woolwich and other districts affected, but there is great fear also that Barking Creek may not be distant enough for the protec tion:of London itself. They pour the sewage into the Thames at this point, in the hope that it may go down the river ; but it may perversely obey the ebb and flow of the tido in preference to the requirements of all the Commissioners, to the detriment of our health, and our continued annoyance. The investigations of " experts" seem to show that it will do so. Mr. Gurney, in his report to the First Commissioner of Works, " On the State of the Thames in the Neighbour hood of the Houses of Parliament," adduces the parallel action of the tide in the river Camel, in Cornwall, and proves incontrovertibly the superior power of the upcast over the downcast in its action on insoluble matters held in suspension by tidal rivers, and adds, " I think it right to observe here that it is evident sewage like the above sand" (the material of Mr. Gurney's experiments), "if thrown into the Thames—no matter how far down—will be brought back again" (the italics are Mr. Gurney's) by the upcast ; and, if the retrogrades are not destroyed, it will be retained in the river in quantities sufficient to be offensive to the Houses of Parliament." 'We can imagine the explosion, from Mr. Speaker downwards, when the nuisance supposed tot e exorcised and finally laid at Barking Creek is brought back again in a hot July or August. The apprehension seems to be but too well founded, and the river-side districts of London may find some years hence that they are still far from a deliverance from foul and noxious odours. It might prove a serious question for the ratepayers of London, who would then have to carry their exeretia to the sea, but, for a substantial proposal now on foot to take their sewage fro: ss the discharging drains and to carry it away by culverts for agricultural purposes. It was inevit able that some such offers should be made, from the esti mate of the value of sewage as manure, when facilities are given for its distribution in a liquid state. There is some controversy as to its value in particular cases, but the experiments on the meadows near Edinburgh, and in Devonshire, have proved, in accordance with the conclusions of the committee presided over by Lord Essex, that under certain conditions it may be utilised with prcfit. In the present case it seems but reasonable to conclude that it may be so utilised upon lands in Essex, especially upon,the estuary land, now use less, which the projectors propose to embank and reclaim. It is no part of Our function to estimate the prospects of a commercial enterprise, but it is sufficient to entrust its pro moters with the execution of the work if they are practical, experienced, and responsible persons, and are now obtain ing, as we are assured is the case, the assent,and support of the resident landowners. Of the substantial pretensions of their project there can be little doubt, seeing that Mr. Ba zalgette, the eng'neer of the Board of Works, has himself reported that their "proposition is the only one the pro moters of which have, by depositing plans, placed them selves in a position to carry out during the coming Session of Parliament; and, so far as its engineering character and details are concerned, it is thoroughly practical, and deserves the favourable consideration of the Board." Mr. Bazalgette has reported also that " the estimate is fair and sufficient," and that "the tract selected appears to be well adapted to the reception of the sewage, and is, indeed, the only one suggested to the Board where, from its position, extent, and the nature of its soil, there would be a reasonable prospect of its receiving advantage ously so large and constant a discharge of sewage, without creating a nuisance to the surrounding district." It is said that the solid pretensions of this plan have encouraged the conception of various projects which, as compared with this, are yet in embryo, and which involve expectations altogether chimerical. But the Board, who can do nothing on their own account, would act wisely in closing with a bona-fide offer, on terms which their officers consider ad vantageous, and, by placing themselves in responsible hands, would certainly avert from the metropolis and its ratepayers the consequences of consigning their sewage to the ebb and flow of the Thames. 7:HIS DAY'S MARKETS.

PERSIA. Some trade reports from the British Consuls have recently been is•ned by the Board of Trade, and among them a report from the Acting Consul-Gene ral at Tabreez, giving an account of Azerbijan, the most important province of Persia. Its capital, Ta• breez,of which the populati on i s est i mate d at 200,000, is the principle emporim of Persian trade. The im ports through and from Turkey into Azerbijan amounted in 1859, to £2,ooo,ooo.dyed and prided cotton goods being the largest item (comprising seve ral descriptions of British coloured manufactures), and British gray calicoes the next ; large quantities of the latter are cut up at Tabreez into small pieces, dyed blue, and then sent to Russia as Persian manufactures. Broadcloths and most of the miscel• laneous goods are from Germany. Indigo is an article of great consumption in Tabreez, and is im ported direct from India. The exports to Russia amounted in 1859 to nearly £BOO,OOO, half of them smuggled ; they include the higher qualities of British prints, Swiss manufactures, European and Persian silks, tea, and rum. A small quantity of silk pieces is manufactured in Tabreez, coarser, but more durable than European silks; felt carpets als o and other coarse carpets. The growth of wheat and barley is large. The cotton is of inferior quality. There is coal, but it is not used; and copper and iron veins, but they are almost entirely neglected, and a supply obtained from Russia. The climate of the province generally is healthy and bracing, the soil fertile, and the inhabitants hardy, active, and industrious. The revenue is nearly £500,000, but this sum is said to be far from representing the amount really collected from the taxpayers. The revenue of each village is farmed or assigned to a Government officer in " teeeol" (a kind of fief), but the taxes are underrated to him ; two-thirds are taken by him, and one-third by the proprietor of the village. The taxes include one-third of the grain produce, a tax on gardens, and on fields used for the cultivation of tobacco, cotton, or madder roots, a house-tax of lOs 2d on every family, a tax of 2s 3d on mares and mules, and 4d on sheep and goats; be sides which the villagers have to furnish gratis to the teeool-holder a certain quantity of lambs, fowls, eggs, milk, wool, &c., and a certain number of la bDurers if required. But the peasantry are patient so long as they are not reduced to actual starvation. The internal transit dues are a serious obstacle to the extension of commerce—every small town levies its duties on the goods that pass through it. The want of cart roads is also a great hindrance—every thing is transported on mules, horses, camels, or asses. If these things were remedied, cart roads constructed, and a moderate duty made payable once for all on importation or exportation, the trade of Persia would rapidly develope itself to a very considerable extent; and next to Persia, Great Bri tain would derive most benefit from these reforms. As it is, the consumption of British manufactures in Persia has increased nearly fourfold within the last 20 years. BANK OF FRANCE.

TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE WEEK. • • THE NAVY. Although the order from the Admiralty for the conversion of the Royal Oak, under construction on No. 7 slip at Chatham Dockyard, from a 91-gun screw liner to a 51-gun armour-plated frigate, was only given a few months since, such progress has al ready been made with that vessel that she is 130 W fully two-thirds planked, and, from the rate at which she is proceeding, a vciy few months only will 611 E. e to sce her completed,the Admiralty king exceedingly anxious to have one of these newly-constructed iron plated frigates at sea, in order to a-_ , certain how they will answer before any additional ships of the kind, beyond those now building, are laid down. Every part of the vessel is being constructed of enormous strength to bear the tremendous weight of some 400 or 500 armour plates, each weighing on an average four tons, which will encase her from stem to stern. The arreourplates will be laid on teak planking, 8 inches in thickness, carried to a few feet below the water-line. The Admiralty have under consideration the invention of Mr. Scott Russell, whereby the plates can be fastened to the planking without any bolting whatever. It is, however, not yet decided whether their Lordships will avail themselves of the plan, which is stated to be not without its disadvantages. In order to test the merits of the invention before the final decision has been arrived at, a large target, intended to represent a portion of the side of the Royal Oak, is now being constructed at Chatham dockyard of balks of oak timber and teak planking. When completed it will be covered with armour plates, on Mr. Russell's plan, and tested at Shoeburyness with the Arm strong guns and the ordinary 68-pounders and 10- inch shot. Under the proposed system the plates will be placed on the ship's side vertically, instead of being hung longitudinally. The contract for ma nufacturing the armour-plates for the Royal Oak has been taken by the Thames Iron Company. Each plate will be 15ft. in length by 3ft. 2in. in width, with a uniform thickness of and a weight of 4 tons. The cost of each armour plate will be about £l2O, exclusive of the additional cost of banding and fixing it to the side of the ship. The Royal Oak will be encased in armour-plates from stem to stern, and not, as is the case with the Defence and some others of our iron ships, only to within a certain dis tance on each side, by which means there will be no necessity for iron shotproof bulkheads or compart ments, in the interior of the ship. In order to strengthen her stern it is, we believe, intended to do away with the ordinary well-hole for lifting the screw, usually found on board screw steamers. At all events, directions have been received for a temporary suspension of the works at that part of the frigate until the decision of the Controller of the Navy is known on the subject. Should the proposal be adopted, the screw will only be capable of being raised while the ship is in harbour. The Calypso, 18, 734 tons, sailing ship, Capt, F. B. Montresor, which is under orders to pay off and be put out of commission at Chatham, was towed into the Medway, from the Great Nore, on Thurs day, by the Lizard steamer. She has been in com mission upwards of four years, during the whole of which time she has been stationed in the Pacific. On arriving at the Nore, Admiral Johnstone, Com mander-in-Chief, made an official inspection of the ship, and mustered the whole of the crew. He ex pressed himself highly satisfied with the appear ance of the vessel, considering the length of time she had been in commission. The Calypso will go into Chatham harbour to dismantle, The paddlewheel steamer Terrible, 21, 800 horse power, Capt. F. H. H. Glasse, U. 8., having had the defects in her machinery made pod, proceeded yes terday from the coal depot, in the Medway, to the Little Nore, for the purpose of towing the Brilliant, 26, sailing ship, to Dundee, to be used as a training ship for the Naval Reserve at that port. The Ter-. rible returns to Sheerness, when the crew will 'be, paid off. Her Majesty's screw steam vessel Rifleman, 8 guns, having been prepared at Woolwich with great care, and fitted with a chart room on deck for sur veying service in China, was yesterday ordered to sail (weather permitting) from Greenhithe to Ports mouth. The steam transport St. Andrew, for British North America, left Woolwich pier yesterday morn ing at 6 o'clock for Greenhithe, to be adjusted for sea. The Megrera, screw troopship, Commander Hen derson, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from the Mediterranean, with military and naval invalids, and a large quantity of condemned stores, &c. Her screw shaft, which had been broken during her trip to Corfu from Malta, was temporarily repaired on her return to Malta, and consequently full speed under steam has not been made during the home ward passage, which has been made under a com bination of sail and steam. Fine weather was ex perienced on the greater part of the way home. Malta was left on Dec. 21, Gibraltar on the 31st, and Vigo on Jan. 7. The Caesar, 86, screw, Capt. T. H. Mason, sailed from Gibraltar for Spithead on Dec. 29. The Aboukir, 86, screw, Capt. C. F. A. Shadwell, C. 8., sailed from the same port for Bermuda on the evening of the 30th. When the Megvera left Gibraltar the Algiers, 89, screw, Capt. E. B. Rice ; the Queen, 86, screw, Capt. Charles F. Hillyer ; the Lapwing, 4, screw, Commander Mon tague O'Reilly ; and the Alacrity, 4, screw, Com mander J. K. E. Baird, were at anchor in the road stead. The Megfera's passenger list comprises— Major Fulton, 15th Regiment; Capt. Cardew, 2d battalion 9th Regiment; Capt. J. A. Brockman, 2d battalion 6th Regiment, and family; Messrs. Edridge and Clifford, and families, of the Purveyor's Department. The military and invalids on board consist of 97 noncommissioned officers and men, 11 women, and 16 children, of various regiments. The sick, 60 in number, many of them in a very debilitated state, were, in the ab sence of a medical military man, placed under the charge of Dr. Maxon, the surgeon of the ship, from whom they received every possible attention. The naval invalids and supernumeraries were landed from the ship yesterday afternoon. The military will disembark this morning. A battery of large 12-pounder 34cwt. iron guns has arrived at Sheerness, to be mounted on the saluting battery, to replace the 6-pounder guns already in position, it having been found that those at present are of too small calibre to be heard by vessels of war anchored at the Nore when saluting the fortress. The guns were landed at the Ordnance camber yesterday, and will be forthwith placed in position. No official notice has yet been given at Ports mouth respecting any discharge of hired mechanics peaceful understood, both o o n u s r er with, consequeAmerica.nt l o t s our however,renew o re r la la t both by the officials and the men themselves, and is further confirmed by b n Admiralty order received yesterday morning, that the services of these men will not be required, in the present state of affairs, beyond April next. It is to be hoped, however, that the authorities will not be too hasty in discharging a body of valuable men who have entered the pub lic service at a period of emergency, and whose homes lie at some considerable distance from the place of their engagement. There is plenty of im portant work remaining to be done in Portsmouth yard, and there can be no reason why the wholesale discharge of men at the end of last year should be now repeated. Messrs. Westwood, Baillie, and Co., of Millwall, have received Admiralty instructions to manufacture for Woolwich Dockyard an appropriate hydraulic press of 1,000 tons power, to work six ponderous hammer heads, to be used for the bending and preparation of the iron slabs for armour plating the 91 gunship Caledonia, under construction in that yard. A new shed is to be built alongside the building slip of the Caledonia, in which the hydrau lic press will be fitted, together with steam fur naces, forges, and all the appliances necessary to permit of the greatest possible despatch of work. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Commander Peter A. Scott, to the Nile, additional for surveying service ; and Lieut. J. C. Drew, additional to the Medina.
