In 1857 she entered the service, and shortly after that Mrs. Gath used to get very intoxicated. Mr. and Mrs. Gath quarreled very much. In 1858 Mt , . Gath went to live in a house in which the co respondent resided. She did not know him when they first went there, but the intimacy sprang up very shortly after. She had very frequently seen Mrs. Gath sitting in Mr. Woodward's room. The intimacy increased, and on one occasion she said she saw Mrs. Gath in Mr. Woodward's bed bat it was during the slay time when he was absent from home. In conse quence of certain suspicions she watched the actions of the parties and eventually she saw an act of adultery:committed by the parties in Mr. Woodward's sitting room. She then told Mrs. Catherine Whithook, the landlady. This wit • ness in her examination said she had seen Mrs. Gath sitting beside Mr. Woodward on the sofa in his room with his arms round her neck. One morning Mrs. Gath came into the kitchen and said that Mr. Woodward said her cheeks were like velvet and her lips like roses. She afterwards had seen Mr. Woodward kiss Mrs. Gath. She had some blinds in the room when Mrs. Gath:first came ; they were removed in consequence of what Ann Swin said. Mr. Wood ward never made any observation about the removal of the blinds. One night witness stated that she had been told that adultery was being frequently committed in Mr. Woodward's room, and that she went and looked through the shutters, and there saw what was alleged. She did not communicate what she had seen to Mr. Gath, but told a Miss ITepper. Several other witnesses were examined., all of whom were severely cross-examined by the counsel for the respondent, to show that the case had been got up unfairly against his client. 1860.

On the Brighton there is a decrease of £3BB, and the South Eastern show little variation. The Canadian lines have shown a marked improvement; the increase in the Grand Trunk of Canada amounts to £4,909, and on the Great Western of Canada, to £2,106. The transactions in the Railway Share Market has been rather more active, and in most instances a slight improvement has been caused by the favourable traffic returns.

Mr. Overend, Q.C., for the co-respondent, Mr. Wood ward, made a very forcible speech, stating, in the course of his remarks, that his client had evidently been led into his present position by the acts of Mrs. Gath. The Judge Ordinary, in addressing the jury, said the petitioner in this case, charged adultery to have been com mitted by Mrs. Gath with a persan named Woodward. They would have to consider certain admissions that had been made by Mr. Woodward, but, at the same time, he must tell them that by law the admission of one of the two parties proceeded against without corroboration could not be used as evidence against the other. It could only be used against the person making it. The effect of Wood ward admitting the adultery was no evidence that Mrs. Oath had committed it. If they entertained any doubt they could return a verdict that adultery had not been proved to their satisfaction, but in any decision they arrived at it must be devoid of uncertainty, and if they were of opinion that adultery had been committed they would say so. rid any re pro te inte d, and. vent of , It is om her but we y will anding L of the W. .ses on ere ars Fournal er is on irvic e."

The wine proved upon trial to be very bad, and was taken back to defendant, who refused to refund the money. Defendant—l never took it in. A witness for defendant explained that the wine used for the Passover ceremonies was made laniler the personal supervision of the rabbi. It was sealed with a peculiar seal, and that seal was a kind of guarantee that the wine could be used in the ceremonies. Now, plaintiff had broken the seals of every bottle, and of course defendant could not take it back. His Honour—This is a different thing to what it would have been if the wise had been intended for usual con sumption. It appears to have been made to the satisfac tion of the rabbi, and the plaintiff must be nonsuited. POLICE INTELLIGENCB.—( This Day.) ye thee MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

UNPROVOKED ASSAULTS ON A COFFEEHOUSE KVEPER.—John Murdock and Andrew Brown, two tailors, were charged before Mr. Readon with violently assaulting Mrs. Rachel Tabb, wife of Mr. Tabb, coffehouse t:eeper, of 2, Dean-street, Soho. Mrs. Tabb said that on the previous night, about nine o'clock, the prisoners came into the house, both of them intoxicated, and said they had come to make a row, and that she had better sand for a constable. She took them at their word, but before the constable arrived they behaved in the most violent and outrageous manner, smashing a table, breaking a second, and knocking all the articles all about the place. Not content with this one of them smashed a thick window of plate gle.ss, and the prisoner Brown struck her several blows on the breast and bit her finger, causing her severe pain, and: spoiling a valuable dress by the blood trickling down it. The complainant's evidence was bo me out in some parti culars by Mr. Henry Furstman, a neighbour, and also by Police-constable John Gilby, the former stating that the prisoners' conduct was very violent. Murdock said he merely went to see a young woman who used to live at the house as servant. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 9 3 1. 1 . . i 1 3 per Cent.

'Tis true the combatants were not the lowest born of the people ; nor was reward of victory a settlement as proprietor of an alehouse, with an un limited command of beer—that was reserved for victors in the modern prize ring. But in times when the national supremacy depended upon per sonal prowess in the battle, and when the strong arm of one man might turn the tide of victory, it is not surprising that efficiency in the battle field was a quality highly prized by all classes, and encouraged by the highest in the land.

Norrey, King-at-Arms, and Clarencieux gave their best attention to all the details, so that everything might be conducted with fairness, and according to precedent. The King's heralds proclaimed, with trumpets, the appointed place and time. Early in the morning the King, Queen, and courtiers, with both combatants, attended Divine worship at St. Paul's before proceeding to Smithfield, where the joust was held. The full particulars of this cele brated combat have been often narrated, so we will rather turn to a short unpublished account of a " passage of arms" between a knight of Arragon and an English knight, which, with many similar recitals, may be seen in a volume (Lansdowne MSS., No. 285) preserved in the British Museum. It is to this effect : 103 f 104 id ell 1 1 d i 94 95 # i d 99.1 100 1 13/ £ 1001 100 "A Challenge of Deeds of Arms of Philip Boyle, Knight. " Be it known that I, Philip de Boyle, Knight of the Realm of Arragou, am charged for to fight with a knight or squire for the special service of my sovereign lord, that most excellent and mighty prince the King of Arragon. And whereas I might not be delivered of my said enterprise for default of arms of them of the realm of France, wherefore I am come into the realm of England and into the court and presence of his high Majesty the most illustrious and victorious prince the King of Eng land and France, the source of honour, valour, and prowess. And by a supplication and by a special grace I have got leave to have a devise in this noble court, by the mean of the which I may be delivered of my said charge.

" And when the said John had done his arms, then it liked the king of his highness to make him knight the same day, and he gave him 100 marks for the terme of his life, in the year of grace MCCCC. xlij." This John Asteley appears to have been a noted warrior, as we find, from the same record, that four years previously he had accepted a similar chal lenge from Piers de Masse, a French squire, with four quarterings, and " smote the seide Piers throgh the hede."

All kinds met a dull inquiry, and Monday's currency was barely supported, the highest quotation for Scota being 4s 8d per 81bs. We have to report a heavy demand for sheep, at, in most instances, a decline in value of 2d per 81bs. Lambs, the show of which was moderate, changed hands slowly, at from 5s Gd to 7s 4d per Sibs.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Chard Railway Bill was read a second tinio and the lledon Corporation and Borough Improvement 'Bill was read a third time and passed. CHURCH RATES. The Earl of DARNLEY and the Earl of CAWDOR presented petitions against the abolition of church rates. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY presented petitions praying for an alteration of the law with respect to the dis solving of friendly societies. SELLING AND HAWKING GOODS ON SUNDAY BILL. Lord COLVILLE of CULROSS presented petitions against the Sunday Trading Bill. Lord CHELMSFORD presented petitions from Bays water and other places in the metropolis in favour of this bill. Lord SONDES presented petitions from Bishopsgate, Holborn, and other places, complaining of the great extent of Sunday trading, and praying for a law to limit trading on that day to articles of necessity. Lord TEYNHAM presented petitions against the bill. Lord CHELMSFORD then rose to move that the house go into committee on this bill. The noble and learned lord said that when ho moved the second reading of the bill be fore Easter it was arranged that the principles of the bill should be fully discussed upon going into committee. He therefore entertained a favourable consideration of the bill, as he felt convinced the more it was understood tjae less ob jection there would be to it, and he thought he ought to tell them what the bill was before they proceeded to discuss it. It was not a bill to compel persons to ob serve the Lord's day religiously, but it was one to remove all the obstacles to a proper observance of the Sabbath. The attempt to make men religious by legislation was impos sible, and the bill ho proposed did not introduce any prohi bition or restriction that the law did not impose; but the law being inefficient, it was sought to strengthen the arm of the law, and to make that which was now weak, strong and efficient. The subject of Sunday trading had been under the consideration of Parliament for many years, and committees had sat, the result being three large blue books, but when such was the case for all good purposes the reconnaiendation became a dead letter, for very few persons cared about perusing one of these volumes. (Hear, and laughter.) The extent to which Sunday trad ing was carried on was beyond belief. It was not confined to articles of necessity, but of things that could well be ob tained during the week. The scenes in some parts of the metropolis, when the blue books were printed, were stated to be disgraceful; on Sundays crowds of persons congre gate; mountebanks exposed their nostrums, thieves and prostitutes abounded, and a scene was presented which was beyond description. (Hear.) He did not think the scenes at the present time had much altered. The Bishop of London, in lately presenting a petition from the Lord's-day Rest Association, stated that about one-half of the shopkeepers of London kept their houses open on Sunday, and to check this state of thing; the law was altogether pow erless, as the fine imposed by the statute was only 58. He was perfectly aware that the subject he had taken in hand was one surrounded by difficulties, but he trusted that he should be able to convince their lord ships that the bill at present before them would do great good if it received the sanction of Parliament. He had had the honour of presenting a petition from an immense number of tradesmen, who were desirous of legislation on the subject, as they were anxious of being enabled to pay proper respect to the day, but owing to the state of certain parts of the metropolis on Sunday they were entirely prevented from doing so. In the enterprise, as he called it, he found himself asailed by con flicting parties. Some parties complained that any relaxation of the law was an approval by Parliament of Sunday trad ing, but such was not the case, and if these perused the bill they would find that it contemplated all that they required. One of the great obstacles to abolishing Sunday trading was the practice of paying wages late on Saturday night; but from reports that were now being made in different places by some of the Government departments, several large establishments were paying their workmen on Fridays, and he hoped very shortly such an arrangement would become general. It had been said why should a strong compulsory law be passed enforce the general closing of shops on Sundays. The reason why such a measure was necessary was that if certain tradesmen opened their shops on that day and others kept theirs closed, the effect would be that the man who kept his shop open would soon monopolise the whole of the trade of the district. The bill was not ono directed entirely against the poor; it affected the sale of certain articles to the poor and the delivery of other things to the rich, so both were dealt with equally. The great difficulties in all bills of the kind they now had under consideration were the exemptions, and he should feel great pleasure in receiv ing the assistance of any noble lord who felt disposed to help him in his labours, and he felt that if the bill passed he should do a great good; he would redeem thousands of tradesmen from loss, and thus benefit their families and workmen, and if it received the assent of Parliament it would make the Sunday a day of cheerful rest, of religious exercise, and one of real enjoyment. (Hear, hear.) Lord ST. GERMANS said ho had paid particular atten tion to the subject of Sunday trading, and he could not give his assent to a bill which would bring about a worse state of things than at present existed. He could not sup port a bill which made that illegal in London which was legal in Manchester and other places. (LEFT SPEARING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. BENYON took the oaths and his seat for Berkshire. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

THE REFORM BILL AND THE BALLOT. Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition from a public meet ing, composed of members of the North London Political Union, and other inhabitants of London, in favour of granting the franchise to the working classes, and deprs cating the use of such language addressed to those classes as " clowns," "boors," and other terms applied to them dur ing the debate on the Reform Bill, as being calculated to ex cite bad feelings on their part. The hon. memberwas about to offer some comments, but was called order by the Speaker, who stated that he was out of order. The hon. member then presented a petition from ministers of different congregations in favour of the ballot, and drawing attention to its beneficial operation in Australia. NEWSPAPER POSTAGE. Sir S. NORTHCOTE asked for copies of all correspon dence between Mr. Thomas Wrigley, the Treasury, and the Post-office, in the years 1858 and 1859, on the subject of the postage of newspapers.—Ordered. GUNBOATS. Mr. R. LONG asked the Secretary of the Admiralty whether it was the intention of the Government to replace immediately the gunboats now stated to be in a rotten con dition; and, if so, whether any addition to the naval esti mates would be necessary ? Lord C. PAGET answered the first part of the question in the affirmative, and said that it was not intended to make the addition alluded to. THE POLITICAL CORRUPTION AT WAKE FIELD. In reply to Mr. E. JAMES, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that some persons were very much in error in reference to the course that was intended to be pursued with respect to those persons who had been guilty of corrupt practices at the late election for the borough of Wakefield. The statute was clear in refer ence to such offences, which were misdemeanours, and the delinquents in the present case would be proceeded against at common law. He had that morning given instructions that criminal informations should be filed against Mr. Leathern and Mr. Charlesworth, the candidates at the last election at Wakefield, as the principals, and other persons as abetting and aiding in the corruption practised at that election. THE ISLAND OF SAN JUAN. Mr. FITZGERALD asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether he was prepared to give the hou se any inormation as to the present position of the negotia tions between this country and the United States, with re ference to the Island of San Juan ; and, whether he had any objection to lay the correspondence with the United States Government on that subject upon the table of the house ? Lord J. RUSSELL said he was not determined as to whether ho should lay the correspondence on the table. He had little else to add to the statement ho had previously male in reference to this matter. He considered it would not be prudent then to enter into a full explanation on the subject of the compromise proposed. The Government made a • proposal last August, which was not acceded to by the Government of America. From the last intelligence received it appeared that General Cass had received instructions on which he had acted. It appeared also that General Harney thought it necessary to place 800 men and a battery of guns, but General Scott, exercising his discretion, considered tkat neither party should have exclusive jurisdiction, and the number of men was reduced to 100. The Governor did not think it right to enter into any compromise, and 100 soldiers were also landed by him on the island. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL.— ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. MACAULAY, in resuming the adjourned debate for the second reading of this bill, referred to the opinions entertaiaed by Sir James Macintosh in regard to the subject of Parliamentary reform. He contended that the present bill would not have the effect of extending the franchise to the working classes in large and populous towns. These classes were chiefly dependent on weekly wages, and practically could not be included in the a franchise. He strongly objected to the principle of an uniform and monotonous franchise ; which, how ever, was merely transposed an d presented in a more aggravated form in the bill of the noble lord the mem ber for the city of London. Referring to the details of the bill, he said it did not contain the elements of stability, and in practice would satisfy neither its opponents nor its advocates. He deprecated most strongly the state• meats made by some of the supporters of the bill, and alluded in particular to the hon. member for Birmingham (Mr. Bright). These gentlemen evidently considered the bill merely as a commencement of more ex tensive alterations in the franchise of th e coun t r y. The hon. member for Birmingham at a meeting composed of the advocates of universal suffrage and v o t e b y b a ll n t h a d as k e d that meeting to go with him in the adoption of the bill, and that he would go with them afterwards for what they re quired. The same feeling was exhibitedin the case of other persons, and therefore they were placed in this position in reference to this measure that a large number of its sup porters considered it only as a preliminary step to more sweeping and more organic changes, and its opponents were satisfied that it would not effect what the former antici pated, it would be productive of most injurious results. The noble lord (Lord J. Russell) was represented as hav ing a paternal interest in the subject of reform, and had redeemed his pledge in bringing forward this mea sure of reform. But asked that noble lord, with the feel ing that was exhibited in regard to this bill even amongst the ordinary supporters of Government, he was justified in pressing it forward. Having vindicated his position, he should now act with wisdom, and withdraw a measure which he contended was unusually unpopular. The hon. and learned menih..r then argued at some length in support of his views and concluded with an earnest appeal to the Government not to press the bill this session, but leave the question of reform to the consideration of another Parliament. Mr. GREGORY believed the convictions of 40 out of every 0 members of that house were adverse to the bill. He contended that the result of the bill would ba to transfer power from the hands of employers to operatives, and would tend to a dangerous extension of democratic prin ciples. Referring to America, he asserted that the spread of democratic principles in that republic so far from promot ing the happiness or prosperity of the people had an effect directly the reverse. He based his statement on personal experience recently acquired. He saw much in that country that was deserving of adoption here. Some of his friends at Washington expressed much surprise that he should at the time have been favourable to an extension of the franchise to the working classes after having seen the operation of the democratic principle in the United States.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING. A THIRD MORTARA. CASE. Before the Judges have had time to finally dis pose of the cases of the Sherwoods and Mary Mathews, another application was made yesterday for an absolute writ of habeas corpus, directed to one Henry Corr, of Donnybro9k, ordering him to bring up the bodies of Patrick and Alicia Murphy within the usual period. The motion was grounded on the affidavit of Alice Murphy, the mother of the children who had been spirited away under the following circumstances : " She states that she resides at No. 3, Eccles lane, Dublin, and that she was married on the 20th of January, 1849, to Patrick Murphy, of the city of Dublin, tailor, who died in the month of November, 1856 ; that there were issue of the marriage three children—Martha Murphy (deceased), Alicia Murphy, and Patrick Murphy ; that Alicia Murphy was born on the 2d of Fobruary,lB49, and is now aged 11 years ; that in October, 1857, deponent, at the instance and request of several gentlemen—the then Governors of the Josephian Female Orphan House, situate at Wellington-road, Dublin, and some of whom used to visit deponent's husband previous to his death—put her daughter, then aged eight years and four months, into the school, to be maintained and educated; that depo nent, up to September, 1858, was always allowed access to her daughter, but that since that time she made several applications to see her daughter, and on each occasion was informed by the matron (Miss Byrne) that the child was not there, and could not be seen, as she was gone to the country with a monk; that in January, 1859, deponent went to the school, accompanied by one Henry Tagart, shoemaker, residing in Eccles-lane, for the purpose of seeing her child, but was again informed by Miss Byrne that the child had gone to the country ; that at the time the said Alicia was placed in the Jose phian school, she (deponent) did not sign or execute ' any form of application for admission for the child into the school, nor was any such at any time ever tendered to her for such purpose ; that since Sep tember, 1858, deponent has not been able to see her child Alicia. That deponent's child Patrick was born the 22d of April, 1852, and is now aged eight years ; and on the 28th of July, 1858, the Rev. Denis Heffernan, of Phibsborough Chapel, came to deponent's then house, in Dispensary-lane, off Dor set-street, and asked her to visit the schools at' Denmark-street, to see if she would like to have her son placed there ; that the Rev. Mr. Heffernan came to her house about the 28th of July, at about half past 1 o'clock, and repeatedly asked her to allow the child to go to the said school ; that about 2 o'clock deponent, in order to get the Rev. Mr. Heffernan out of the house, consented to visit the school with him, but on going away she left her 1 son Patrick in the house in the care of one Anne Taaffe, who resided in deponent's house, in Dispen sary-lane (and who was at that time on intimate terms with the deponent), until she returned from said ' school. That when deponent got to the school, the Rev. Mr. Heffernan left her, saying that he would return in a few minutes. That she waited in the school-room nearly half an hour, and find ing that the• Rev. Mr. Heffernan did not return, she left the school to return home. That on the way back she met the Rev. Mr. Heffernan, but did not speak to him. That when she returned home her son Patrick was absent. On making inquiry from Anne Taaffe in the presence of one Rose Short and Katharine Connolly, where the child was, Ann Taaffo replied that the right owner of the child had it. That on the evening of 1858, deponent repaired to Phibs borough where the Rev. Mr. Heffernan the 2Bth Chapel,of July, re sided, but was told by the porter at the chapel house that the rev. gentleman was not at home. w d en th t that if him she w That seeing the Rev. Alr. Heff ernan com i ng up and asked go dforawhaey the police. her he would get her charged to That after making sever a l endeavours to find out where the child was placed, she ascertained. in November last that Henry Corr, of Simmon's court, Donnybrook, had taken upon himself the care and guardianship of the two children, alleging that he did so under a will stated to be made by deponent's husband ; saith that she has never seen such will ; that Henry Corr has offered to let depo nent see her children, provided that she agreed to sign a paper undertaking not to interfere with the education of the children, which deponent refused to do, considering that he had no right to make any such demand ; that she was pre vented from making an earlier application to the Court in consequence of a difficulty of obtain ing professional assistance, and from the fact that until November last she did not ascertain with certainty who had the custody of the children. On the above statement counsel submitted that the Court would grant an absolute habeas corpus. " The Chief Justice said the affidavit read was a very voluminous one, and stated the fact that the children are in the custody of a person who claims to hold them upon title. He should show what that title was: The Court would grant the order. " Mr. Norwood said he supposed the Court would grant an absolute order. "Me. Justice O'Brien said the applicant was entitled to an absolute order. _,
