THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 18, 1862. LA , AY. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.) . SPICER. V. SPICER. SPORTING-THIS DAY. PONTEFRACT RACES-THIS DAY. (BY ELECTRIC TELF.GRAPH.) CASTLEFORD STAKES. The hearing of this case was resumed this morning, by the examination of a number of witnesses, whose evidence went to contradict that given yesterday by Mrs. Spicer. Priscilla Ayling said she had lived with Mr. and Mrs. Spicer for some months, and never saw her master ill-treat Mrs. Spicer. She was living with them as cook when the quarrel took place, in which it was said a quantity of Mrs. Spicer's clothes were torn, but she never heard of such a circumstance. Walter Biggs, Mr. Spicer's business assistant, said he al ways was of opinion that Mr. Spicer treated his wife with kindness, but at the same time he said Mrs. Spicer said her h us band had illused her, but he had never seen anything of the kind. He heard her one day call murder, and he went immediately, and found her in the passage, and she said her husband had attempted to take her life with a carving knife. He looked into the room and saw Mr. Spicer reading as calm as possible; he therefore disbelieved that which Mrs. Spicer had told him, Several other witnesses having given similar evidence, Mr. Sergeant Parry then addressed the jury for the petitioner, and contended that the cruelty deposed to by his wife was quite a hallucination, on the contrary, he always treated his wife with kindness and forbearance. Mr. Huddlestone, Q.C., followed on the part of Mrs. Spicer, and asked the jury if they were prepared to give credit to the evidence of one who, in the witness-box yes terday, deliberately in the face of the whole Court, at first denied the genuineness of a letter signed by himself, but on being pressed he afterwards admitted that he wrote the document. Mr. Spicer had contradicted the whole of the evidence on the part of Mrs: Spicer, but he felt certain that after the exhibition Spicer had made of himself in that Court, the jury would believe the unfortunate lady's ver sion of the affair in preference to one who had, in his opinion, grossly perjured himself. (The jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press.) POLICE - THIS DAY. Richard .. Unfashionable Beauty L'Hirondelle Four ran. MURDEROUS ATTACK ON MR. PILK INGTON, MP. On Tuesday night, or rather Wednesday morn ing, between the hours of 12 and 1, Mr. Pilking ton, the member for Blackburn, was proceeeding from the House of Commons towards the Reform Club, in Pall-mall, and when opposite the Crimean Statue, two persons rushed from the scaffolding surrounding the statue, one of whom struck him a severe blow on the back of his head, which knocked him down and rendered him insensible. Mr. Ker shaw, M.P., was at the time behind the hon. geu tleman and witnessed the occurrence, but was un able at the moment to afford much assistance. By the aid of the police and several members of Par liament who had come up, Mr. Pilkington was con veyed to the Reform Club, and afterwards to his lodgings in Great Marlborough-street, where he still remains confined to his bed from the Effects of the injuries he received, although no dangerous symptoms have ensued. On his being restored to consciousness it was found that his watch and chain were stolen, but the robbers in their hurry made a mistake, his purse, containing among other moneys &X:() note, being left behind. The police authorities have, it is understood, received information which will lead to the apprehension of the ruffians. We subjoin Mr. Pilkington's own account of the robbery : " I left the House at 1 o'clock on Tuesday morn ing. On arriving at the Senior United Service Club I hesitated whether to call at the Reform Club or go through Waterloo-place home, and decided on the latter course. I remember crossing Pall mall, and then all consciousness left me. I cannot remember seeing any one, nor did I feel the sensa tion of a blow, but I feel assured, from the con tusions at the back of my head, that it must have been a blow that stunned me, and, from the pain round the top of the neck and immediately under the chin, my medical men conclude it was an attempt at garotting. I remained perfect:y insen sible until I arrived at the corner of Cork-street, when I became partially conscious, but how I arrived there, having both hat and umbrella safe, I cannot tell. It has suggested itself to me that the parties might have been hidden about the Guards' monument. On arriving at home I had lost watch and chain, but some silver and banknote were un touched in my pockets, from which I infer that the robbers were disturbed. I arrived at the hotel with my under garments and coat saturated with blood, the greatest loss of which was from a very severe and deep wound in the jaw." PISCICULTURE.—The very interesting process of hatching the young fry from salmon spawn is now taking place at Hampton, under the supervision of the Thames Angling Preservation Society. Over 20,000 salmon and trout have been produced during the last two months, and the fry or smouts put into the river. A keeper is employed by the society to protect the spawn, and to exhibit the fry to such of the public as may feel interested in the process. Stephen Ponder, Esq., who has been very active in the ex periment, is the representative of the society at Hampton, but inquiries are answered and guides to the breeding boxes found at the society's head-quarters, Mr. H. Lawrence's, Lion Hotel. It is anticipated that the hatching will cease about the end of the present month. A LARGE CARGO OF COTTON.—The arrival off Point Lynas, of the ship Queen of the North, with one of the largest cargoes of cotton-8,112 bales—ever shipped from the East, was announced yesterday. Being overdue, the premium on the ship bad advanced, as much as 40 guineas having been paid. There has been a great deal of speculation in the cargo. It is reported that £lO,OOO broker age bas been realised on it during the passage.—Liverpool Mercury. No application has been made this season in Jamaica for labourers. The question of inducing immi grants from Canada and the United States to settle in Jamaica still continues to receive attention in that island. The Tribunal of Correctional Police on Wednes day tried a roan named Laluyaux on several charges of defrauding wine dealers by eating and drinking at their expense without the means of payment. the keeper of a wine shop at Colombes said :—" The prisoner entered my establishment last week, and called for wine, bread, and meat. While eating, he began to talk of Mexico, Gari baldi, the Pope, England, Prussia. and then suddenly inquired if I had seen the Prussian ? What Prussian ?' ' Why, him who has come to live in Colombes—a refugee, a conspirator who wanted to set Mazzini on the throne of Prussia, and has been condemned to death for it.' He then told a long story about the. con spiracy in question, which I and my other customers heard with the utmost attention. All at once he stopped and ex claimed, Look, there is the Prussian l' I and the rest then ran out to look after the stranger, when, on returning, we found that our informant had disappeared without pay ing his scare." Another witness proved that the prisoner had defrauded him in'the same manner only an hour or two later in the day. In his defence the prisoner said that he dined at two houses, as ho did not wish to be too hard on any one individual. Considerate as this was on his part, the Tribunal did not regard it as a sufficient excuse for his conduct, and accordingly sentenced him to four months' imprisonment. IITIE NEW AMERICAN TARlFF.—Considerable activity has been created in Liverpool by the prospective operation of the new American tariff, the object being to get as large a quantity of goods as possible landed before the proposed alterations take effect. For a short time past the steamers departing for the United States have taken large cargoes of manufactured goods, and within the last few days the anxiety has increased. On Wednesday the Inman screw steamer Etna, which sailed for New York, besides the United States' mails and numerous passengers, took also a very full cargo. Yesterday the same firm de spatched their fine screw steamer Edinburgh for New York, with a full cargo of manufactured goods and also a con siderable number of cabin passengers. THE IRON TRADE —WOLVERTIAMPTON, Thurs day.—The meetings of the trade in Birmingham to-day, and in Wolverhampton yesterday, were unproductive of much business. Nothing was done in pigs ; but the reports from the finished-iron houses were still tolerably cheering. The quarter days, it was said, had produced as many orders as were looked for, and some valuable in quiries were still afloat for iron for home use. The orders in hand from America and Russia will keep the plate and sheet mills of many firms in tolerable activity for a short time longer; and the week's advices from the States have been to the effect that a good trade for some few months to come may be looked for. At present, however, the demand from that quarter is slightly checked from the combined influence of the new Tariff Bill and the news disastrous to Federal interests received from before Rich mond. The actual orders received from New York by the last mail were not equal to those of last week, and mer chants here are slackening their hands. Partly on account of the falling off in the demand lately, Messrs. Barrows and Hall, of Tipton, are discharging 150 puddlers. Generally, however, steady workmen can find employment at the lead ing ironworks. MALT VERSUS HOPS. —The introduction of the hop plant into this country provoked the indignation of many sturdy Britons, who were entirely satisfied with honest malt liquor, such as their forefathers had oft-times made merry upon. Had they not rejoiced at harvest-home and gladdened their hearts at Christmas with the good old English beverage ? They refused to believe that it could be improved by the infusion of an additional ingredient, and many years after the hop had been successfully grown in Kent and Sussex, the prejudice against it remained deep and general. It was a delicate and fragile plant, requiring to be petted and nursed like a sickly child, ill adapted to thrive on our English soil, and liable to diseases which had no power over barley. But, notwithstanding prejudice and obstinacy, increasing attention was paid, year after year, to the culture of hops. It is certain that the plant was not brought into England until 1524 or 1525, but in the coursse of the following half century, the principles of its g row th had been reduced to a science.—Once a Week. CANADIAN MAILS.—The Royal M ail Quebec. Nova Scotian sailed yesterday from Liverpoolfor 60 cabin Besides the Canadian malls she also took out about passengers, and had a full cargo on board.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARXET, July 17.—A good business has been transacted in cotton to-day (especially for ex port), and the sales reach 12,000 bales-9,000 on specula tion and for export.

MIDNIGHT MARAIIPERS.—James Anderson and George Roberts, two ill-looking fellows, who gave an address near Seven-dials, were charged by Sergeant Gordon, 288, with loitering in Charles-street, Haymarket, for the purpose of committing a felony. Sergeant Gordon said that while in company with Shil lingford, A 325, both being in plain clothes, they observed the prisoners loitering in Charles-street, Haymarket, and suspecting they were otit for an unlawful purpose watched them, and saw them E 0 into different doorways. The pri soners then left and went into the Haymarket, Pall-mall East, as far as Waterloo House, crossed over to Spring gardens, went to Charing-cross, then back to the Hay market. From the latter place they made their way to Leicester-square and Chandos-street, every now and then stopping to reconnoitre and talk. Determined not to give the prisoners a chance of escaping by means of the courts in the neigh bourhood of Bedfordbnry : the officers who had watched them most perseveringly seized them, and asked them what they were at, aid why they had visited so many different places. when Anderson replied, "We haven't been there to , night." They were then taken into custody, and on them a knife and lucifer matches were found. In answer to Mr. linos, Gordon said he had known Anderson for a long time as companion of the worst thieves, and Roberts formerly used to be with thieved, but he had lost sight of hint f i r years past. Roberts said it was no ;use asking the officer any ques tions, as he was a you n g man from the country, knew nothing of Loudon, and of course didn't know the names of the streets. Anderson said the officer had told such a long story that he had quite forgotten the name .of the street the officer first started with. Shillingford, 325 A, corroborated Gordon. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners, ordering them to be well locked up by the officers. MARKETS-THIS DAY. 1 4 1 ARK LANE. The supply of EngliAh wheat on sale hero to-day was very small.

At the half-yearly meeting of the St. Katharine Dock Company to-day—Mr- S. W. Cater in the chair—the account of receipts and expenditure of the company for the half-year, ending the 30th June last, showed that the gross earnings were £127,623 4s. 7d. ; the expenditure, including inte rest, £98,3 51 95., making the net ea rn i ngs amoun t to £29,271 158. 7d. A dividend of per cent. (free of income tar) upon the capital stock was recommended, payable on and after the 25th instant. The rest amounted to £ 6 8,177 18s. 9d. The company's premises and merchandise depo sited in them, were insured at the the lowest rate appreciable to such property, the nego tiations of the directors to obtain a modifi cation of the scale of premiums published last August, having been satisfactorily concluded. The chairman statad that while the expenses had de creased, the rates upon goods landed, &e., had also been greatly reduced, which very materially affected the property of the company. The direc torsw were in negotiation with the oth er d oc k com panies, with a view to raise the rates, which were at too low a sum to enable a good dividend to be realised. The report w as agreed to. Mr. Laurie, late M.P. for Barnstapl e , an d one of the directors of the oyal Academy of Music, intends to offer annually two silver prize medals to the two most pro ficient students in vocal music, the examination to be taken and awarded by the body of Professors, to be called the " Laurie Model." ~: - ~.~: day t9A pre n at L ies • day IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS--THIS DAY.

The Lords amendments to the following bills were agreed to, and the bills were ordered for third reading.

GREY begged to correct an error in reference to what he had stated on the second reading of this bill. He did not say that he proposed to make any amendments en the bill, but that he hoped the lion, baronet who had charge of the bill would give notice of any amendments which it was his intention to propose in committee. LUNATICS LAW AMENDMENT BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, resuming at c'ause 30, which was agreed to. Clauses 31, 32, and 33 were also agreed to. On clause 34, . . Mr. BUTT moved the following :—" And the guardians of every union and of every parish under a board of guar dians, and the overseers of every parish not in a union nor under a board of guardians, shall visit once at the least in each half-year all asylums, hospitals, and licensed houses in which there are any pauper lunatics chargeable to such union or parish, and shall inquire as to the dietary accom modation and treatment of such lunatics, and whether any of such pauper lunatics appear in a fit state to be discharged, and shall enter in the visitors' book such observations as they may think fit to make respecting the condition and treatment of such lunatics, and the book containing the ob• servations made in pursuance of this section by the visiting guardians or overseers shall be laid before the commissioner or commissioners and visitors on his or their next visit." Sir G. Grey, Mr. Henley, and Mr. Barrow opposed the bill on the ground that compulsory visitation instead of voluntary visitation would not only entail considerable ex pense, but would be attended with injury to the pauper lunatics. Mr. HIBBERT supported the amendment which was in operation in Lancashire, where it was found to work very satisfactorily. The amendment was negatived, and the clause was agreed to, as were the remaining clauses. _ Mr. HENLEY moved the addition of the clause em powering the visitors and the guardians of any union within the district for which the asylum has been pro vided to make arrangements, subject to the approval of the Lunatic Commissioners and the President of the Poor Law Board, for the reception ond care of a limited number of lunatics in the workhouse of any particular union. The clause was agreed to and read a second time. Some other clauses were added to the bill, and the house resumed. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES (IRELAND) ACT (1860) AMENDMENT BILL. This bill went through committee without discussion. DRAINAGE (IRELAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, resuming at clause 15. The clauses to 63 inclusive were agreed to. On clause 64, Sir H. BRUCE objected to the clause as charging on the county rates the cost of the construction of bridges for the purpose of draining the land of private proprietors, and he moved its omission.

LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT AMENDMENT. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY presented a peti tion from the Board of Works of the Wandsworth district, praying that this bill might be referred to a select com mittee, and that they might be heard by counsel before the committee. NEWSPAPER, &c. BILL. Lord CAMPBELL moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was k 9 repeal the act which com pelled printers of newspapers to lodge securities for the pro per conduct of such publications. The measure retained the registration of such newspaper at Somerset-hous.e.The noble lord said both the present and late Governmeat had given its assent to the general principle of the bill, and he was at a loss to discover why the bill was to be opposed. The sys tem had been first put in practice at a time very different from the present, and the position of proprietors of news papers now was such as, in his opinion, to render the re strictions altogether useless. Lord CHELMS FORD moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Earl GRANVILLE was prepared to vote with Lord Campbell, because it was useless to maintain on the statute books acts which were practically obsolete. He thought, however, the bill should be withdrawn in order to adapt it better for the object in view. To this suggestion Lord Campbell agreed, but Lori Chelmsford insisted that the bill should be negatived. Ultimated Lord Chelmsford's motion was agreed to. So the bill was lost. Lord EBURY moved the second reading of the Metro polis Local Mana ge m en t A c t A me nd m ent Bill, and stated that its object was to introduce amendments in the Act of 1855. Lord RAVENSWORTH moved that the bill be read a second time that day three months. Lord LLANOVER suggested that the bill be referred to a select committee, to which Lord EBURY assented. Lord RAVENSWORTH then withdrew his motion, and the bill was read a second time. The report of amendments OD. the Merchant Shipp in g Acts, &c., Amendment Bill was agreed to. The Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Bill passed through committee, with amendments on recommitment.

The Aberystwith and Welsh Coast Railway Bill (Lords), and the Pulteney harbour bill Were read a third time, and passed. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES (IRELAND) ACT (1860) AMENDMENT BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, and clauses 1,2, and 3 were agreed to. On the 4th clause, Sir H. BRUCE moved an amendment to the effect that the power of appointing inspectors should be tiansferred to the grand jury of the county instead of the Lord Lieu tenant. Mr. MAGUIRE said he had supposed the ob j ect of the right hon. baronet (Sir R. Peel) was to particularise the bill, and he thought this provision would have a contrary effect. He wished the bill to pass, because he considered it would prove a beneficial measure. The fact was, that the magistrates were gradually losing their power over the con stabulary, who were growin g daily more a military than a civil power, and yet this bill proposed to extend the power of that force. After some discussion, Sir It. PEEL said that he was anxious to meet the views of hon. members. He would agree to a provision by whi ch the local justices would be substituted for the Lord Lien; t ena nt in the appomtmeyot of i nspectors, on cond i tion tha t t h e former made the app o i n t ment w ithin „ month. If , ho wever, they felled t o d o so, gm th e Lor d loutensat should have the power with which this bill proposed to invest him. Mr. MAGUIRE considered that the compromise of the right hon. baronet should be accepted. Other hon. members dissented, and the committee divided on the amendment— Ayes Noes Majority —2l _ The amendment was accordingly negatived, and the clause, with the alteration proposed by Sir R. Peel, was agreed to. A lengthened discussion took place on the succeeding clauses. The committee were on clause 13, when, at ten minutes to four the standing orders required that the discussitn should be stopped. The other orders were postponed. ROYAL 4 COM MISSION. The Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod appeared at the bar and cited the Speaker to the House of Lords to hear the Royal assent given by commission to certain bills. On his return the sitting was suspended. At six o'clock the house resumed. The house having resolved itself into a committee upon EAST INDIA REVENUE ACCOUNTS, between Mr. preliminary Laingend Sir C. WOOD, in mov i ng cer t a i n f orma l reso l u tions, after etwe a fe r h e i m m a e r e k l s f , e r h ef t e h r e redto the differences en subject of these ac counts, expressing his regret that there should be any per sonal ingredient in th ese differences. He complained of the extreme inaccuracy of th e accounts transmitted from India, which, he said, had been a source of the greatest annoy ance to him, and which deprived the public of the means of knowing what they had a right to:know—the real state o f the Indian finances. He then proceeded to show, in details of figures, the alleged errors in the accounts furnished from India for the years 1860 61, 1861-62, and the esti mate for 1862-63, accompanied by explanations ot the sources of the errors, which it is impossible to compress into a summary that would be intelligible. The result, in 1862. 61, was that Mr. Laing had over-estimated his surplus about £1,000,000, and, having remitted taxes to the amount of £725,000, he had really a deficit of revenue in that year. Mr. Laing, he observed, had assumed that, the cash ba lances in the Indian treasuries having increased, he must have a considerable surplus revenue, Sir Charles argued that this was an untenable assumption, and that Mr. Laing's theory was erroneous. li ef e thenthe rupee into sterling discussedtheegrliuensg tion as to the loss by exchange money in the railway accounts, being 2d. in the rupee, which loss had been omitted in the accounts sent from India, insisting upon the fallacy of the reasons assigned by the Indian Government for the omission. He disputed Mr. Laing's views upon the subject of the repayment of ad vances, another disturbing element in the accounts, pro fessing his utter astonishment at the arguments he had employed to support and justify these views; and he reiterated his own opinions on the subject. Having thus cleared the ground, he proceeded to state what the finances of India really had been in the last three years Years. Revenue. Charge. 1860-61 1861-62 1862.63 42,971,000 43,255,000 The result showed, he observed, a deficit of revenue in each year, which he expected would disappear at the end of the present year, as we were approaching, he thought, a sound system of Indian finance. He stated the progress made in public works in India; and, with respect to cotton, he had been informed, he said, by Sir George Clerk, that the growth of cotton had considerably increased. He was decidedly of opinion that Government ought net to interfere in this matter; that an adequate demand would produce an ade quate supply ; but all assistance needed by cotton merchants in conducting their own transactions, he added, should be afforded. He adverted to the changes made in the Indian Councils and the Governmental departments, and in the law tribunals in India; to the state of the Civil Service, andto the reductions in the army. He dwelt upon the good effects which had resulted from the policy now pursued towards the native Princes of the country, and from the measures taken to create an intermediate class connected with the land between the chiefs and the peasantry. To these measures, the merit of which is due to Lord Canning, the Government had determined, as a proper complement, to carry out as soon as practicable throughout British India a permanent settlement of land tenures. Our Indian empire, he remarked, had suffered a shock which had left its lesson. Our power had been sustained by military strength; but a source of still greater strength would be found in the attachment of the people of India. In conclusion, Sir Charles paid a warm tribute to the character and services of Lord Canning. . . . Mr. H. SEYMOUR thought that Mr. Laing's mistakes were excusable, the Government of India having concurred in his views, and Sir C. Wood not having given him timely notice of the errors. As to some of the questions, Mr. Laing, he thought, whether right or wrong, was not open to animadversion. He urged the necessity of a larger ex penditure upon roads in India, and that more discretion should be left to the Government in India. He complained of the present home administration and of the great expense of the Department, Mr. SMOLLETT admitted that there had been a great reduction of expenditure in India and a material advance in the prosperity of the country ; but he complained that the management of the Indian finances, a clear and simple matter, was very faulty; that the deficiencies were caused by extravagance ; that there was a mystification about rail way transactions, and protested against the mixing up of the public money of the Government with the private money of adventurers. Besides railways, the Government patronized other companies, which were floated by means of the mischievous system of guarantees, and hence the derangement of the Indian finances, over which the house did not exercise a proper control. Mr. GREGSON observed, that, if there had been no Government guarantee, there would, in his opinion, have been no railways in India. He made a few remarks upon the points in dispute between Sir C. Wood and Mr. Laing. Mr. VANSITTART blamed Mr. Laing fur his hasty utterance of a prosperity speech, and, upon the assumption that he had a surplus of £903,814, throwing away a large amount of revenue. Mr. CRAWFORD accused Mr. Smollett of hating spoken of Indian railway companies without a correct knowledge of the facts. Upon the financial questions, par ticularly with reference to the loss by exchange of the rupee, he explained the effect of the arrangement between Government and the railway companies, and his own view of the subject, which, to a certain extent, coincided with argued that it would be a violation of the first principles of that of Sir Charles Wood. As to the cotton question ho political econ3my for the Government to interfere. It was matter of satisfaction to observe, he said, the great extension of the products of India. He expressed his gratification at the statement of Sir C. Wood. Mr. KINNAI RD condemned the ahe attack he had Smollett had spoken of individuals, d the r in which Mr. made upon the Madras Irrigation Company Colonel DlCKSONdefended Mr. Smollett, who, he thought, had justly exposed a schem e that could no be re munerative. Mr. BUXTON said a few words upon the exchange question. inst e repayment ettthatthiays question was merely of advances, the Colonel SYKES one of accounts, an w d o ss rth discussion. He objected to the question was not rot troops troops maintained in India. large number of ARSH, who suggested a and ornaments in India, tax upon jewelryin.

' the . a rose from the partial and incomplete character of f u sion the Indian acc ounts . . Sir C. WOOD made a detailed reply upon a few points (the Committee having dwindled down to about 30 mem bers), and the resolutions were then agreed to. On the order for considering the Lords' Amendments of the Lunacy (Scotland) Bill, The LOAD-ADVOCATE called attention to a matter connected with the bill in which he was personally con cerned, and to the introduction into it of a clause which completely altered its character. He moved that the house do not agree to the clause referred to. Mr. BLACKBURN moved an amendment of the clause, \ in which the Lord-Advocate acquiesced, and the clause so amended was agreed to. The remaining orders having been disposed of the house adjourned at 2 o'clock. BANX OF ENGLAND.
