Several witnesses were examined, who gave corroborative testimony, and deposed to the commission of several acts of adultery by the respondent since his marriage, which closed the case for the petitioner. The case was proceeding when we went to press. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Secondary Potter.) SBRIOUS ASSAULT.-LE GRAND V. MASSON. This was an action for assault, defendant having allowed judgment to go by default. The jury now had to assess damages. It appeared that the plaintiff is a fruit salesman in the Borough Market, and defendant is the skipper of a vessel bringing over fruit. Some dispute arose, which led to de fendant knocking the plaintiff down, cutting his head open, and inflicting other injuries, which might have resulted in much more serious consequences. The plaintiff was called, and his counsel explained that the plaintiff could not speak English well, but it would be an additional expense in calling an interpreter. The learned Secondary —No doubt he will make himself understood ; it is not so difficult now as formerly. Plaintiff was then examined, and gave his evidence in a very candid manner. He admitted that there was a great deal on both sides. Defendant had told a great many un truths, and ultimately made an assertion against him (plaintiff), and he said, " you're a liar," on which defend ant struck him a violent blow, and knocked him backwards on the table in the Market-house, and his head was cut open, and he was rendered insensible ; he was taken to the hospital, where the wound was dressed, and he was after wards attended by Mr. Lacy, a surgeon. Ho had lost a good deal by the sale of las htcisk y e , ; 0 1, I , - bna tenon nhlioar~ ,vllll Mr. Lacy was called, and said plaintiff was very feeble when he was called in, and erysipelas had commenced, and the white of ono eye was suffused with bleod and swollen above the corner. The erysipelas was subdued, but it was at first very threatening. He had charged a guinea. The learned Secondary said that in some instances the words used by plaintiff might have justified a blow, but it appeared that the defendant had been the first to use lan guage likely to provoke an assault, and plaintiff was en titled to be paid fur his sufferings and any loss he had in curred. 4j f I The jury gave a verdict for £l5. POLICE INTELLIGENCE -(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. NEGLECTING TO PAY FOR THE SUPPORT OF A CHILD IN A REFORMATORY.—AIfred Austin, a tall, powerful looking labouring man, was brought up on a warrant, charged with neglecting to pay for the support of isis daughter, Julia Austin, who is detained at a reformatory school at Hampstead, The prisoner, when he was taken into custody, gave the officer considerable trouble, trying his utmost to escape. Inspector Brennan produced the order signed by the Secretary of State, authorising proceedings to be taken against the prisoner, upon which he was summoned before Mr. Beadon, and an order for 4s. a-week made on him for is daughter, who was now in the Rescue Society's Re • formatory School, at Hampstead. There were seven weeks due on the order, amounting to 28s. The prisoner and his wife earned 30s. a-week between them, and it was a ease of wilful evasion of the order. The prisoner, who said he had no goods, no money, and no furniture, was then ordered to pay the sum of 28s. and costs, or be committed for 28 days. THAMES. SCANDALOUS CONDUCT OF PAWNBROKERS.--William Ogilvie, of the firm of French and Ogilvie, pawnbrokers, of No. 207, Hizh-street, Poplar, appeared before Mr. Selfe to answer two summonses, taken out by Ann Nightingale, a seamstress, which charged the defendant with unlaw fully taking in as pledges materials for the manufacture of two shirts, the same being in the course of manufacture. Repeated complaints have been made against French and Ogilvie by poor individuals for several years, and the ma gistrates have frequently condemned their loose and un.• satisfactory mode of doing business. A few weeks since Ogilvie was fined £lO for a violation of one of the clauses of the Pawnbrokers' Act, and Mr. Selfe then lectured him severely. The present case was a very flagrant one. The complainant had given out shirts to be made to several persons, who instead of returning them had pawned them with the defendant, who received them without making any inquiries. The defendant had seven dozen shirts not made up belonging to complainant. There was not a stitch in one of them. One woman to whom the complainant had entrusted the materials for making one dozen of shirts had taken them direct from her house to the defendant and pawned them. When she remonstrated with the defendant for receiving the goods he said, " You have no right to employ persons without taking security." The defendant had sent her four dozen and a half of shirts not made up since the summons was taken out. Mr. Selfe—Why, he has been doing this by wholesale. Tho Complainant—Yes, sir, and he has now two dozen and a half more shirts of the same description belonging to me. Not one of the shirts sent to me had been touched. They were just as I delivered them to the woman. I have a person in court who applied to Mr. Ogilvie for some of my shirts, and ho has stuck to the ticket, and refused to part with it or to restore the shirts. Ile has put me to great in convenience and expense. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said he had already delivered two dozen and a half shirts to Mrs. Nightingale, and was now willing to give np the remainder. Mr. Selfe—That is not the question. You are charged with taking in unfinished work—work in the course of manufacture, and I have no hesitation in saying that your mode of doing business :s highly discreditable. It is the worst pawnbroker's shop in the district by a long way. The defendant repeated that be would restore all the pro perty to the complainant. Mr. Selfe—That won't do. I fine you £1 in one case for taking in eight shirts in course of manufacture, and 6s. in the other case for taking in two shirts in the course of manufacture, with 2s. costs in either case. 051 39 } 11 161 Mrs. Nightingale aNlic.(l how the was to obtain the re mainder of her property. Mr. Selfe—lf the defendant will not give them up take out a fresh summons. 321 $Ol 611 601 90 28 1 41 The defeniant—l will give up all the shirts. Mr. Selfo—You had no business to take one of them in. You received them of persons who had no right to pawn them. The mischief done by you pawnbrokers, by lending money on slop work, is incalculable. It is a premium upon crime, and leads to wide-spread misery. - - The Milan Gazette speaks of numerous arrests made by order of the Austrian Government at Venice, and estimates the number at about 400. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell, Mr. Justice Wightman, and Mr. Baron Watson.) BOYNTON V. BOYNTON. This was a suit instituted by Elizabeth Laura Boynton for a divorce from her husband, a younger scn of the late Sir Henry Boynton, on the ground of his adultery and cruelty, to which the respondent pleaded denial. It appeared that the parties were married in 1849, the petitioner being 17 years old and the respondent 27. At the time of the marriage the respondent• retired from the army, in which he held the rank of captain. Sometime previously he became acquainted with the petitioner, whose maiden name was Keeling, and who was entitled to pro perty amounting to £19,000 pounds. The mother of the petitioner had formed a second matrimonial alliance with a gentleman named Hodges, a captain in the army, and her daughter's marriage was without her knowledge. Mrs. Boynton, the petitioner, stated that she was mar ried to the respondent at St. George's, Hanover-square, and after the ceremony they left town by the Great Western Railway. When they reached Slough they were over taken by Captain Hodges, accompanied by her mother and one of her sisters, and, after an angry altercation between them and her husband, the latter was induced to enter into an arrangement by which he settled two. thirds of her money on her, and reserved only one third of the interest for himself. He did not settle any propeety of his own on her, though she understood that he was possessed of some at the time. After the marriage he took her to his father's residence in Yorkshire, where she was treated very unkindly by his sisters. They afterwards removed to Bur ton Agnes, and there he commenced his ill-treatment. They then came to London, where he continued his ill treatment, from which her health suffered materially, and on one occasion he made her walk a quarter of a mile through the snow. The cause of his ill-treatment was the arrangement he had been forced to make relative to leer money. Sometime subsequently he had recourse to further violence, having dragged her out of a room and pulled her by her hair. While they were staying at Cheltenham, she asked him for £4O or £5O, and he gave her a cheque for the latter amount. She forwarded it to Captain Hodges to have it cashed, but in the meantime the respondent wrote to his bankers desiring them not to pay it, and it was returned to her dishonoured. In 1856 they went on the Continent for the benefit of her health, and while at Brussels some trivial dispute occurred between them at a shop in the town relative to the price of an article they were purchasing. On that occasion he dragged her out of the shop, pushed her along the street until they reached their residence, when he locked her up in a room. On their arrival at Nice he locked her in a dark apartment, and she was released from her confinement by a lady in the house, being at the time in a state of great agitation and distress. He also intercepted letters addressed to her from her family. On their return to England she gave birth to a child, but the respondent's conduct was un altered. They resided for some time at Beverley, in York shire, but the respondent never introduced her into society; and on one occasion he brought a person connected with the turf home to dinner, whose, conversation was so coarse that she was compelled to leave the table. He left her at her mother's for a considerable period, during which he absented himself for weeks. At Brighton he walked about with a female, and did not notice her when they met in the streets. The petitioner then detailed various acts of a similar character until 1858, when he so misconducted himself that she determined to leave him, and went to her sister's. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY, HALF-YEARLY MEETING—(THIS DAY). The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the share holders in this undertaking was held this day al the B ridge-house Hotel. LEO SCHUSTER, Esq., chairman of the board of directors, presided. The directors report, which has already appeared in 71ie Sun, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN said it was always with pleasure he met the proprietors, in order to give an account of his stewardship. After alluding to several items in the capital account he proceeded to notice the completion of the purchase of the West End of London and Crystal Palace Railway, which, he said, would afford the residents in the vicinity the best accommodation, and must fulfil all the advantages that had been contemplated. With respect to the West-end Extension, as it was called, that would shortly be commenced, as the whole of the surveys had taken place, and the pre liminaries all completed. The directors anticipated that the works would be completed in about two years. (Hear, hear.) The directors had thought it for the advantage of the company to make the necessary preparations for authorising them to make a short line from Pulborough to Ford. The residents in that vicinity had now for some time Veen anxious for such a railway ; and the directors of the South Coast, after the failure on the part of those who proposed to make the line last year, had determined to take the business in hand. The line was about nine miles and a half in length. It was not an expensive one, and there would be no tunnels. From Ford it was proposed to carry on the line to Littlehampton, which was a port cf some business, a watering place; and the making the proposed railway would, without doubt, prove advantageous to the company. The directors had also entered into arrangements with respect to a:line to Bognor. All these steps were of the greatest importance, be cause they would leave open no ground to parties residing in the district to invite other persons to make the lines. In making the additions to their line, the directors were not animated by any aggres sive spirit ; they were only looking to their own do mains, which they were determined to cultivate to the utmost. After these proposed lines had been com plete& he did not think the directors would be called upon for years to come to construct another mile of railway. (Hear.) The outlay that had taken place for improving and fish-jointing the permanent way was now producing the most economical results, as the accounts showed a saving of £2,331 as compared with the corresponding half year, which fully confirmed the advantages ex pected for improving and maintaining the line in the best possible manner. Under these circumstances the directors have continued relaying and re-ballast ing other portions of the line, and during the past year £11,484 has been so expended, and placed to the debit of the permanent-way improvement account. On the other hand, the increased revenue ad mitted of a larger amount being placed to its credit ; £17,000 had been so appropriated, making with £3,000 contributed in the previous half-year, £20,000 applied during 1859 towards the extinction of that account, being £33,000in excess of the sum originally proposed to be annually so applied. The net amount at the credit of the revenue account was £163,753, out of which the directors proposed the payment of a dividend of 3, per cent. for the j half-year amounting to £161,649, leaving a ba lance tolhe eredit of the current half-year of £2,104; thus making a dividend of 6 per cent. for the year 1859. He would not detain the meeting further, but in the event of any proprietor wishing for any information, he should have great pleasure in answering any question that might be put to him. The motion of the Chairman having been seconded, it was put to the meeting and carried unanimously. Mr. HERAPATH—I have heard, Mr. Chairman, that the London and South Coast directors and those of the South-Western Railway are now on good terms, and that everything is going on amicably between them. Is that so P t . The CHAlRMAN—Perfectly. (Hear, hear.) After a. —I-- payment of the dividend mentioned in the report, and the reelection of the retiring directors, Messrs. Coningham and Lawrie, was unanimously agreed to. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. Till HI) EDITION . SUN OFFICE, &v®n o'clock, IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN r HOUSE OF LORDS--(Trus EVENING). The LORD CHANCELLOR took his soat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Viscount DUNGANNON gave notice that on Friday, the 3d of February, he should call the attention of the house to the services that were performed in Sadlers' Wells and other theatres by clergymen of the Church of Eng land, and that he should move that such proceedings were injurious to the dignity of the Established Church. ENDOWED SCHOOLS. Lord CRANWORTH introduced a bill to remedy the evil complained of last session, as to the inability of Protestant dissenters to become trustees of endowed schools. CHURCH RATES. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH presented several pe titions for the better regulation of church rates. MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER. Earl ST. GERMANS presented several petitions from places in Cornwall in favour of legalising the marriage with a deceased wife's sister. THE MUTINY IN INDIA. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH. begged to ask the question of which he had given notice relative to the distri bution of booty taken during the mutiny in India ? The Duke of ARGYLL said the question had been raised last session, and the proposal of the Governor-Gene ral had been adopted. That proposal was to the effect that all property captured during the suppression of the mutiny should be distributed amongst the army, with this reservation, that all property taken from parties who could prove their loyalty should be deducted from such prize money. The Government had not yet been able to compute the amount to be so distributed, which, as the house might suppose, was a work of some difficulty. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGYI did not see the neces sity of waiting for the computation of the amount. He thought it a great hardship that the captors should be kept from the possession of their prize money for so long a period. _ THE TREATY OF COMMERCE: Tho outline of the terms of the Treaty of Com merce with France furnished by the Patrie seems to indicate that the reduction of the English wine duties is to be from the present rate of ss. 9d. per gallon to ls. per gallon (equal to 2d. per bottle) — an alteration which will, it is presumed, be general, and include all foreign as well as colonial growths. At the same time it appears that the French prohi bitions against our iron are to be replaced by a duty a little less than £3 per ton, and, that woollen and cotton manufactures are also to be admitted at rates yet to be fixed, but which are not to exceed 30 per cent. As the clauses of the treaty are on our part to be brought into operation within a week or two, the impression produced in the wine market by the announcement has, of course, been considerable, business of all kinds being for the moment virtually suspended. At present many houses in the trade doubt the correctness of the statement, but should it be confirmed an immediate rise in prices will be expected. The drawback question will be one of keen anxiety, and probably of diffi culty. According to some estimates the paid duties on existing stocks would be found to amount to £2,000,000, but this is generally sup posed to be greatly beyond the true total. Under an order of the Inland Revenue-office in 1852 draw back can be claimed only on wines on which the duty has been paid within a limited period, the term for the red wines of Portugal and France being a two years, while for all other descriptions, including sherry, it is six months. There is another provision, also, which will have a greater effect in reducing the number of claims —namely, that to entitle them selves to any return of duty whatever all dealers must have kept a stock book, showing every quan tity received in or delivered out, and embracing a separate entry of all wine exported —a provision which is thought in a very large number of instances to have been imprudently neglected. On the other hand, as the changes in France are to be delayed for a year and a half, our iron, cotton, and woollen markets will, of course, not experience any imme diate influence. Assuming the rate of duty named for iron to apply to manufactured iron, it will be sufficiently low to admit of a large export trade from this country, since it seems to be about 33 per cent, less unfavourable than that of the Zollverein, in the face of which some of our goods can reach even Berlin itself. Any satisfactory anticipations that may be formed on this point must, however, be contingent upon the absence of local or Custom house obstructions, calculated expressly to create restrictions in a new form, which might become equally as potent as th e old. On pig-iron the duty of £3 per ton would, it is believed, prove nearly prohibitory, but it is hoped that on that material the rate will bo different. Concerning the 30 per cent. rate on woollen and cotton manufactures the belief is that it will allow a large introduction of British cotton goods into the French markets,par ticularly in low qualities, and that there are certain descriptions of low worsted and woollen stuffs which likewise cannot fail to be taken in consider able quantities. A sanguine expectation connected with the entire movement is that France having hitherto been the great centre of trading restric tions in Europe all the other continental nations may now lose faith in their narrow systems and hasten to follow her in her first steps to reform.— Times.

CHARLES POERIO.—It is with deep grief that we (Unione)announce the severe illness which has just attacked the illustrious Baron Charles Poerio. His health, which had suffered so much in the prisons of the Baurbon of Naples, is now threatened by typhus fever. All his old companions in misfortune are constant in their attendance at his bedside, and his house is filled with dear friends, who all express the most fervent wishes for his recovery. IMPORTATION OF COTTON Lord BROUGHAM moved for a return of the amount of cotton annually imported from various parts of the world for, the last two years ending Dec. 31, 1859, distinguishing the several countries from which exported, and also the amount of revenue levied on the same. The noble lord then went on to complain of the onerous duties levied on cotton and hoped that Government would consent to aban don most of them not on the principle of reciprocity, but in order altogether to extinguish slavery. He referred to the possibility, in consequence of information received from Dr. Livingstone, of raising an immense quantity of cotton in Africa, and hoped the Government would do all theypossibly could to encourage the growth of cotton in Afriea and Jamaica, in order to supersede that raised in the slave states of America. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said there could be no ob jection to furnish the returns moved for by the noble lord. With respect to the observations of the noble lord in carry ing on the growth of cotton, that of course must be left to private enterprise ; but any attempt to raise cotton in the British possessions would be encouraged to the utmost by the Government. The BISHOP of OXFORD hoped the Government would give the subject their best attention. If the native princes could be taught to understand that it was more profitable to raise cottoit by their own subjects in preference to selling them as slaves, much more would be done to abate slavery than could be done in any other way. Particular attention ought to be given to the opening up the two great rivers in Africa, the Zambesi and the Niger. Lord OVERSTONE also urged upon the Government the importance of fostering all attempts to raise cotton in Africa. Lord WODEHOUSE said the Government, in order to do all that was possible to encourage the raising of cotton in Africa, had sent out two expeditions, from which the most favourable news had been received. Earl GREY said the greatest obstacle to the raising of cotton by free labour was the slave trade. To the eternal disgrace of America, that country still allowed its flag to be prostituted by protecting the slave trade. He believed that if that country continued that system she would bring her• self under the ban of all other civilised nations. After a few words from Lord WODEHOUSE, the returns were ordered.

TRANSMISSION OF THE MAIL TO AUSTRALIA. Lord A. CHURCHILL asked the Secretary of the Trea sury what was the annual amount of the subsidy granted to the Egyptian Government for the transit of the monthly mail to and from Australia ; and what was the anticipated increase in the Post -office revenue consequent upon the ad ditional penny charged upon all newsppaers sent by way of Southampton and Suez to the Australian colonies; and also whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Govern ment, in deference to the expressed wish of the Australian colonies, to relax the recent additional impost on news papers ? Mr. LAING said that £12,000 was annually paid to the Egyptian Government, but with regard to the second ques tion he could only give a rough estimate, and he believed the amount realised was £5,000 a .year. The additional penny on newspapers had been imposed by the late Govern ment, which it was not intended by the present Govern ment to remove. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. Mr. BENTINCK asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Go vernment to introduce any measura during the present session, founded on the report of the Committee on Railway Accidents, which was laid on the table of the house in 1858. Mr. M. GIBSON said that the report alluded to had been considered, and no doubt it was most desirable to prevent railway accidents as far as possible. He did not think, however, that Parliament should be applied to to confer any additional powers on the Board of Trade with regard to the investigation of railway accidents, as railway companies afforded every facility for such investigations. LANDLORD AND TENANT IN IRELAND, Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Attorney-General for Ire* land if he could state when it was the intention of the Go vernment to introduce their promised measure for a more equitable adjustment of the relations between landlord and tenant in Ireland. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland said he was not able to specify the day the measure in question would be brought forward, but it had been considered during the recess, and the Government were entirely agreed as to its provisions. He trusted the bill would be introduced before the approaching assizes. PRIZE MONEY TO ENGLISH TROOPS IN INDIA. Mr. TURNER asked the Secretary of State for India whether any and what steps had been taken towards effect ing the payment of the prize money due to the troops en gaged at Delhi, and when it was probable the money will be forthcoming. He also asked a similar question with reference to the troops that had been engaged at Lucknow. Sir C. WOOD said, with respect to the first question, the necessary information had not been received in this country to enable the Government to take the steps sug gested. Respecting the troops at Lucknow, the prize money had been received, and proper steps would be adopted. - FRENCH TROOPS AT LEGHORN. Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it was true, as stated in a French papor, that 30,000 French troops were expected at Leghorn; and whether he had reason to believe that the French Govern ment had any intention of taking any such step for the purpose of preventing the annexation of the Provinces of Central Italy to Sardinia, which their Constitutional Representatives had voted as their final determination ? The hon. member glanced at the events in Italy, and the policy adopted by the Emperor of the French. He strongly urged on the Government to adhere to the principle of non intervention in respect to the affairs of Italy. DR. SMETHURST. Mr. EDWIN JAMES drew the attention of the Secre tary of State for the Home Department to the case of Thomas Smethurst, convicted of the crime of murder on the 16th day of August last, and recently pardoned by her Majesty, and asked him, whether the Government con templated the introduction of any measure to give the rig.ht of appeal to persons convicted of capital and other crimes. He said he thought the importance of the subject would be sufficient to justify his introducing it to the attention of the house. It was most essential to the administra tion of justice that juries should be acquainted with the grounds on which their verdict was reversed. ° Unless courts of criminal appeal were estab lished, or other means adopted to give such infor mation, the practical result would be to render juries indifferent to their verdicts if they could be set aside in the way that had been done in respect to the verdict in Dr. Smethurst's case. The hon. and learned member adverted to the trial and subsequent matters in connection with the subject under consideration. He did not impute any blame to the Home Secretary, but he con sidered the power he was called on to exercise was too im important to be entrusted to an individual. CRUELTIES ON BOARD AMERICAN SHIPS. Mr. M. MILNES asked the Secretary of State for Forego Affairs what measures have been adopted with regard to the address presented to her Majesty on the 2d Aug. 1859, by this house, praying her M ajes t y to enter i nto nego tiations with the United States of America for the purpose of preventing the assaults and cruelties committed on mer chant seamen in American vessels ; and called the atten tion of the house to some recent occurrences of that nature. He drew attention to the outrages perpetrated on board certain American vessels, and as it did not appear the Go vernment of this country could interfere in such cases. Accordi ng to the state of international law, onethesecaptan outragesof a vessel said he regretted he did not live under American in s t ea d of proved he trusted some moans would be devised to abolish th e d p e ra r c i t m ic e e : t s 11 1 to question. our o w n The sservice, effec, ftor of English law, as he could then do as he pleased. Lord J. RUSSELL said, in reply to the question of the hon. member (Mr. D. Griffiths), he did not believe that 30,000 French troops would be sent to Leghorn, and he had every reason to believe that the Em peror of the French entertained no such intentions with regard to annexation as the hon. member alluded to in his motion. Hs regarded the remarks of the last hon. member who had addressed the house, he begged to inform him that I Lord Lyons had been communicated with, and it was BANKRUPTCY ANNULLED.

Houses of Par liament by command of her Majesty. IRE GIFT OF LANGUAGES.—My friend was in England from 1848 to 18.51, and how he can have been there so long and know so little of the laic a and every thing English would be unaccountable if we not en deuce of how completely men can shut eyes al id ears when determined not to use them. Instances are kr .own in which emigres of the first Revolution returned to 7..erance, on the restoration of the Bourbons, without being able to speak a single word of English. Young France is learning English with a French accent, which gives our lam; nags a peculiar cadence ; but the generation just beginnit 3.g to pass away thought French enough to pass a man thrc.ugh the whole world. It may ba taken as a rule that a i Ilan never learns the language of a nation that learns his, end vice veras— man never works when another will work for him Every body learns French, and a Frenchman seldom, if ever, speaks any language but his own. Nob idy learns Russ, and the Russians are the best linguists in t Ate wor;cl. Hence it is that a Frenchman is so much disco ntented .when out of his own country. He cannot learn als nguage he tries, and he is literally deprived. of speech t ill he gq is home again. —Once a Week. sidered by both Governments that the best course that could be adopted would be to refer the matter to the hands of the respected representative of America in this country, Mr. Dallas. An interview had taken place with that hon. gentleman, and no doubt existed that men in both coun tries were in favour of a settlement of the question on the ground of humanity, and to redress the grievances occurring under the present system. A convention was preparing for that purpose. When the terms of that convention had bern agreed on and ratified, no time would be lost to bring in a bill that would meet the views of his hon. friend. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Mr. BOVILL asked the Secretary of State for the Home Departthent, whether it is the intention of her Majesty's Government to propose any alteration in the constitution of the Courts of Probate and Divorce. He drew attention to the arrears of business that had ac cumulated in these courts in consequence of insuf f icient constitution, and strongly advocated an amendment in these important courts. Mr. BOWYEit objected to this court ; but if it were per mitted to exist, they should be rendered as efficient as pos sible. He considered it, as at present constituted, a sort of encumbered estates' court for the transfer of women. Sir C. WOOD made some observations in reference to the case of Smethurst, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) LONDON GAZETTE-(THIS EVENING.) FOREIGN-OFFICE, JAN. 23.
