This Day.) ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly. JUDGMEXT.-WOODFORD V. CIIARNLEY. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said on this ques tion I am of opinion there is no decision, as all the cases on the subject point one way, and there is nothing in them that applies to it. In that respect it depends entirely on the facts of the case. In this case it depends en tirely on the completeness of the gift, and that de pends on the way in which the deed of Mrs. Ann Fisher provided for the payment of this gift of £5,000. By a voluntary deed she charged tie estate of the eldest son with the payment of this sum to John Willoby Fisher, afterwards to Pisco Fisher, and appointed trustees to act as her attornies to recover the gift as a debt upon his estate. lam clearly of opinion that neither in a court of law nor in equity could this gift be enforced and recovered as a debt on the estate of her eldest son, and I declare accordingly, and grant the usual administration decree as to £l,OOO, another gift. Costs of all parties in the cause to come out of the estate. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. LORD BROUGHAM-y. ATKINSON-LIBEL. The rule that had been obtained in this case against the defendant, the proprietor of the Westrnoreland Gazette and Kendal Advertiser, for libel, was this day discharged, his lordship having consented to receive an apology.

The prosecutor said—On Wednesday night, about a quarter to 12, he met the prisoner in South Audley-street, and she asked him to treat hor to some gin, which he did, taking her into a house called the Glass House. She then produced a bottle, and asked him to put a quartern of gin into it, which he did, and then left the house. Ho stood for a few minutes at the corner of the street, talking to the woman, who asked him to have a drop out of her bottle, which he did, and then went home to bed ; and when he awoke in the morning he missed his purse, in which were two £5 notes, £3 10s. in gold, and a broken Albert chain. Ho had not had much to drink, and had taken no familiarities with the prisoner whatever. Seward, 178 B, said, on takingthe prisoner into custody that morning at Westminster, where she was in bed with a soldier, he found under the bed seven sovereigns and 265. 6d. in silver, and the bottle which the prosecutor identified as the one she had in the public house. Prisoner said she had no bottle at all, and that the money was her own. Mr. Bingham remanded her for a week. THAMES. RECKLESS DRIVING IN A.

(Before Sir C. Crewmen, Mr. Justice Hill, and Mr. Justice Keating.) PEARMAN V. PEARMAN AND BURGESS. This case, which commenced on Thursday, was resumed this morning. The petitioner, Henry Pearman, prayed for a divorce from his wife on the ground of her adultery with the co respondent, Charles Frederick Burgess. Mrs. Pearman denied the adultery, and set forth various acts of cruelty on the part of the petitioner; and the co-respondent also denied the offence imputed to him. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and another learned gentleman were counsel for the petitioner; and Mr. Sergeant Pigott, Dr. Wambey, and Mr. Garth for the respondents. It appeared that the petitioner was a chemist, and had formerly carried on business at Stourbridge, in Worcester, and that he married the respondent in 1854. They co habited until 1858, and had four children, three of whom are living ; but in the November of the latter year the petitioner became acquainted with circumstances that satis. fled him as to his wife's criminalty with the co-respondent, who was his assistant and about 21 years of age. Maria Hawthorne, a laundress living near Steurbridge, proved the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Pearman, and stated that the former was very kind to his wife, who treated him and her children with great brutality. She was addicted to intemperance, and was in the habit of abusing her husband and children in the grossest terms. The witness had seen her intoxicated as early as nine o'clock in the morning, and the children were left by her in the most filthy condition. In December, 1857, about four days after her confinement, she saw her down stairs in a state of drunkenness and Burgess behaving towards lair with the greatest familiarity. Mrs. Pearman was 18 at the time of her marriage, and even then she saw her the worse for liquor, though not actually intoxicated. She had a quarrel with her in consequence of her having ad mitted that she placed a needle in the soiled linen, in order to lame her hand which was effected, and she was laid up for fourteen weeks. Mrs. Pearman never complained to her of being affected with spasms, and her only bodily ailments were produced by her intemperance. She had never seen Mr. Pearman raise his hand to his wife, and he treated her always with kindness. Mr. R. W. Freer, a surgeon, said he attended Mr. and Mrs. Pearman since their marriage, and had frequent oppor tunities of witnessing Mr. Pearman's conduct to his wife, which was very kind. He attended her when she was suffering from the effects of drunkenness, and Mr. Pearman appeared very anxious about her. He heard her abuse kim without any provocation. She never consulted him relative to spasmodic affections, and he was not aware that she was troubled with any complaint that required stimulants. He never saw then quarrel more than once, and he was not aware that she was suffering at any time from the effects of his violence. Elizabeth Jones, who had been in the service of Mr. ,Pearman, corroborated the evidence as to Mrs. Pearman's intemperance and other misconduct. She received money from her at different times to conceal from her husband the familiarity between her and Burgess, which she did not communicate until Mn.s Pearman's departure from her home. Elizabeth Smith gave similar testimony, but added that she had seen Mr. rearman knock his wife down, but it was in consequence of her being drunk and endeavouring to force her way into the shop. Letters from Mrs. Pearman, expressing regret for having offended her husband, entreating to be taken bank. and denying the commission of adultery, were read, which closed the petitioner's case. Mr. Sergeant Pigott addressed the jury on behalf of the respondent, and called witnesses to prove the alleged cruelty of the petitioner. The case was proceeding when we went to press. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) SINGULAR ACTION FOR DAMAGES-SAWYER V. GOODALL. Plaintiff lets out traps, and defendant is a commercial traveller. The action was brought to recover damages as compensation for a broken trap and injured pony while in the defendant's possession and under his charge. Mr. Beard, for the defendant, said the accident causing _ the damage occurred through a circumstance entirely be yond the control of the defendant. He and his wife were in the trap, and he descended, leering it under the lady's care. The pony bolted, as it had done before, and hence the damage. His Honour—Was defendant upon his master's husi. nese P Mr. Beard—Yes. His Honour—Did his master know he had the lady with him? Defendant—Oh, yea. It would not have been safe to have left the trap without some ono to take care of it. The damage was then analysed, and his Honour found For plaintiff for £1 17s.—the original claim being £4 17s. CAUTION TO SUITORS-BURKE V. WHITEHEAD. 'this was a claim for £1 165., balance of an account for money lent. Mr. Buchanan, for plaintiff, said his Honour would re collect his client a short time back to have been a defendant in this court, and that the now defendant sued him in refer ence to a check, and then his Honour decided in favour of Mr. Burke. Now the claim was for money advanced to Mr. Whitehead. The matter was a very simple me. The original sum was ET 125., and this was a balance, after crediting defendant with v ar i ous sums. _ _ _ _ Mr. Whitehead urged that he was entitled to particulars. It was true that £1 16s. was a balance, but the sum from which that sum was derived was above 405., and particu lars ought to have been anneved. His Honour—l think so, too. lam of opinion that de fendant is entitled to particulars. This case had better be adjourned, and then referred. Defendant—ln the next case my partner, whe is ill, is the defendant, and that had better be adjourned, too. Mr. Buchanan—Then we can adjourn the two without saying a single word about costs 1 , (Laughter.) His Honour—Yes; they will both be refused. BROCK V. THORLEY—ADVERTISING. This was a claim for £5 17s. for advertisements inserted in a periodical belonging to plaintiff, defendant being the well-known cattle food proprietor. Mr. Beard said the advertisements had been duly inserted, and the periodical in question as duly forwarded to Mr. Thorley, who had not countermanded the order. The insertion of the advertisements being proved, Mr. Buchanan, for. defendant, urged that a gentleman named Hotson should be called to explain the matter. He nego tiated the business, and be alone could throw any light upon the subject. Mr. Thorley bad paid for some of the advertisements, but only for those he authorised Mr. Hot son to get inserted. Mr. Beard (to witness)—When you called about these advertisements, what were you told ? Witness—That it was all right. Mr. Buchanan—By whom ? Witness—Hotson. His Honour —You must be nonsuited, Mr. Beard, unless Mr. Hotsou is here. Mr. Hots was not present, and plaintiff was nonsnited with costs. BILLS OF EXCIIANGS-STONE V. RICHARDSON. This was an action upon a bill of exchange for £l2 15s. 9d., upon which plaintiff had rendered himself liable. Mr. George (George and Downing) said the bill had been dishonoured, and no notice of such dishonour given to de fendant, who had admitted his debt. Defendant said he only wanted time. His Honour —That is for the plaintiff. As far as lam concerned I mast make a ten day order. The instalmentary process was never intended for persons signing bills. You make your own agreement to pay at a certain time, and bills should not be dishonoured - aLkI Mr. George applied for his costs, which were allowed. THE COLLECTIONS OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM.- Last week a very important decision was arrived at by the trustees of the British Museum. The separation of the natural history collections from the books and fine arts' collections was carried by a narrow majority of one. All the Ministers, who are included among the trustees, voted on the question, and unanimously, I believe, for the sepal a tion. The old and unofficial trustees, as a general rule, voted against the separation. Thanks to this decision, we may at last hope to see both the natural history specimens and the fine art treasures of the Museum properly located. At this moment each of these collections incommodes and crowds on the other. There is about as much in the way of zoology and sculpture stowed away in damp, dark, and inaccessible vaults, holes, corners, cupboards, and cellars as there is visible to the public, or rather to the students, for theirs is the interest to be mainly con sidered.—Hanchestrr Guardian. NORTH SHIELDS, Friday Night.--During the gale the Sharp and th e M e di um , front Liverpool,' went aehore. The llebe, Athens. John and Isabella, and the Monarch have been lost, The crews were saved. NAVINGS BANXII. Although several members last evening seemed to want further explanations on the savings banks motion, the general statements of the Chancellor of the Exehequer were perfectly explicit. For a long time complaints have been made of the power held by the Government to tamper with the sav ings banks funds. This tampering has consisted in the manner in which they have been habitually moved from Stock to Exchequer-bills, or vice versa, to further the financial projects of each Chancellor of the Exchequer for the time being. When it is desired to facilitate a re-issue of Exchequer-bills the Chancellor can sustain the market price by investing any available savings banks funds in that security, which at any future period he can, under the old Savings Banks Act, convert into stock without the cognizance of Parliament. The Select Committee on Savings Banks, in their report issued in 1858, condemned the system and pointed out, among other illustrations, that it was used to promote the reduction of the New 31- and the New 31 per Cents. in 1835 and 1844. No one will be disposed to be lieve that any of our Chancellors have ever exercised the power except with a desire for the public good ; but it may be contended that it is unfair to use the funds held in trust for one portion of the commu nity as a means of jobbing against the interests of another portion. Accordingly Mr. Gladstone proposes to prevent any such possibility for the future. A further object contemplated is to provide for the deficiency between the amount due by the Government to savings banks and the value of stock held to represent it. That deficiency is estimated at £2,000,000, and has originated from the savings bank system having been so constituted as always to place the Government at a disadvantage. De posits are made in times of prosperity, and with drawn at periods of pressure. Therefore the Govern ment purchases of stock are usually effected when prices are high, and the sales when they are low. Through a long series of years this has led to the deficiency now requiring to be dealt with. It is mainly these two points that form the scope of Mr. Gladstone's measure, and they aro troublesome matters on which he is entitled to every assistance. On the general question as to the impropriety of Government meddling in any way with the banking affairs of the people there is no intention, appa rently, to enter. Whenever that point comes to be philosophically discussed it will not be difficult to show that it is no function of the Government of a commercial nation to undertake the custody of the savings of the mechanic any more than those of the merchant; that the only scho o l i n w hi c h e i t h er can learn prudence is that of voluntary experience; and that if the State can offer special advantages either in the way of interest or security on the capital of the labourer which it refuses on the capital of the wealthier classes, it must be at the public expense on one side, and consequently involve what is tanta mount to the acceptance of a gratuity, and there fore virtual pauperism, on the other.—Times.

THIII D EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Six o' Clock. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 23d says that it was by mistake that the death of M. Ordonez, an ex minster, was announced ; he is, however, repre sented to be dangerously ill. A letter says : " Peace continues to be much talked of. It is said that communications on the subject have been made to Marshal O'Donnel from Madrid, and that the latter, though anxious to carry the war to a successful issue, is ready to sacrifice his own opinions on account of considerations of a high order based on the present state of Europe. Another letter has the following : " The Pope's Nuncio is said to be er..3eavouring to enlist volunteers in Spain foi the service of the Holy See ; but he forgets that Spanish laws for mally forbid enrolments for foreign Powers. Un doubtedly, after the conclusion of the war in Mo rocco, numerous soldiers wJald, if authorised by the Government, be willing to enrol themselves under the banner of the Pope; but the Spanish Government will not on any account tolerate a demonstration calculated to displease France and England."

NEWSPAPER STATISTICS.—From the Newspaper Press Directory for 1860 we extract the following :—" That there are now published in the United Kingdom 1,041 news papers, distributed as follows : England Wales . Scotland Ireland British Isles Of these there are -34 daily papers published in England. 6 ditto Scotland. 10 ditto Ireland 1 ditto British Isles. On reference to preceding editions of this useful Directory we find the following interesting facts, viz., that in 1840 there were 472 journals published in the United Kingdom. In 18.50 there were 443 (showing a decrease), but in 1860 there are now established and circulated 1,041 papers, show ing that an extraordinary impulse has been given to every description of newspaper enterprise."—C. Mitchell and Co.'s Newspaper Press Directory, 1860. THE DISCOVERER OF THE NEW PLANE r.—Yester d ay' s _Von iteur announces that M. Lescarbault, the discoverer of the new planet, has been made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. The announcement is preceded by a report to the Emperor by M. Rouland, Minister - of Public Instruction, giving some account of M. Lescarbault, and setting forth his claims to the distinction. It appears that in September last M. Lo Verrier, the eminent director of the Observatory at Faris, sent to the Academy of Sciences proofs of the exist ence of certain planetary bodies near the sun, and account ing for some apparent anomalies in the motion of the earth and of Mercury. For the verification of these results, which he had arrived at by calculation, he recommended to astre - - runners an attentive study of the phenomena which present themselves on the surface of the sun. Towards the end of December he received a letter from M. Lescarbault, a poor medical man living at Orgeres (Lure-et-Loir), anneuncmg that on the 26th March he had observed a planet passing across the sun's disc. M. Le Verrier visited his correspon dent, and convinced himself of the value of his observations. M. Lescarbault, who was passionately fond of astronomy, had devoted the intervals of his practice to it, and had made his own instruments, which were of astonishing accuracy. SUSPECTED MURDER AT NOTTINGHAM.—Mr. Coroner Browne held an inquest on Wednesday afternoon last on the body of a man named Lorenzo Jarvis, a brewer by trade, the cause of whose death is enshrouded in mystery, there being many suspicious circumstances connected with it. On Saturday last he had been working at the Queen's Arms Inn, Queen's-road, Nottingham, and left that place at a quarter to 12 at night, having in his possession a quantity of silver and about 51b. of beef tied up in a newspaper. Jarvis did not arrive home that night, and was missing until Tuesday, when his relatives became greatly alarmed. The police were instructed to search for him. The piece of beef was found under Carrington-street Bridge, which projects over the Not tingham Canal; the water was then dragged, and the body was soon afterwards found, when four bruises were discovered upon the head of the deceased, two of which were of a very violent and serious nature. Only 11d. was found in his pockets, although just previous to his leaving the Queen's Arms he had a handful cf silver in his 734 possession. From the evidence of Mr. Bannister, the landlord, it appeared that the deceased left the house rather the worse fir liquor; he was alone, and appeared to walk steadily, and was quite cheerful. After some other evidence had been adduced, the coroner remarked that it was clear the deceased had either been robbed, or had got through his money in a very short time. The in quest was adjourned until Monday, that further inquiries might he made. TIIE PROPOSED BEER BILL.—A deputation of the friends of the National Temperance League attended yesterday before the Right Hon. Sir G. C. Lewis, at the Home Office, for the purpose of ascertaining the intentions of her Majesty's Government with reference to the above subject, and also with the view of offering suggestions. • Mr. Payne having introduced the deputation, Sir G. C. Lewis observed that he was not at that moment in a posi tion to communicate any decision which the Government had come to in reference to the subject. It would, how ever, receive due attention. Mr. Tweedie said he had waited upon the Bishop •f Oxford, and had obtained a distinct statement from his lordship that in the event of the Government not bringing forward a measure in the Com mons his lordship would introduce the subject into the House of Lords. They considered that 42,000 beer houses and 63,000 public-houses were a great deal too many for the requirements of the public; that facilities for the sale of beer increased the evil of drunkenness instead of supplying a better article ; that public-houses and beer shops should be put under the same jurisdiction, and that the jurisdiction should be removed from the magistrates and confided to a special body elected by the ratepayers. Sir G. C. Lewis said he could not see how they could expect to extinguish drunkenness by measures of the kind proposed. As advocates of a Maine Liquor law he could have better understood their purpose. What he understood them to recommend was that the present system of licensing public houses and beer-shops should be abolished, and that the authority to license should be transferred to a body elected by soma lame constituencv, and which should e.:.reile no other functions. The deputation then withdrew. STATE OF TRADE.—MANCIIESTER, Jan. 27. The market was quiet in the early part of the week, bit a steady business was done for the home and most of the foreign markets, except those of the East. For the latter, the heavy engagements recently entered into had disposed both buyers and sellers to pause a little. 'We have now telegrams to hand in anticipation of the overland mail from Bombay and Calcutta, bringing advices to the commence ment of the present month of a rather favourable cha racter, and these have given a new impulse to business. Fresh orders have been placed where manufacturers and spinners have been in a position to take them, but it isdiffl cult to buy without some addition to prices.

There can be no remission of in penalties for delays from any cause what evor tee land portion of the service. Stil(J1)11 OF A POLICE-CONSTABLE.--A frightful act of suicide was discovered on Thursday to have been committed by police-constable Charles Davis, 169 R, or Greenwich division of metropolitan police. The gardener of a gentleman residing at Lewisham, on entering his master's summer -house, discovered the deceased sitting in one corner, with a coat drawn over his head and his throat cut in a frightful manner. Blood was discovered in other parts of the summer-house, indicating that the deceased must have struggled for some time after committing the rash act. To show the determination of the deceased, it may be mentioned that, to reach the place where his body was found, he had to cross a ditch and clear a hedge, and after cutting his throat he had the coolness to close the razor with which the injury was inflicted and place it in his coat pocket. On the person of the deceased a letter was found, addressed to his sister at Mortlake, and in which ho expressed an intention of destroying himself, !saying the troubles of this world could not be longer borne.'.'The deceased had been nearly 20 years in the police, and the fear of losing a pension to which his services would have entitled him is supposed to have led to his committal of the suicidal act. *There has of late been no material change in the state of health of the King of Prussia, but the Prince Re gent has latterly also been an invalid. The annual festival of the knights of the various orders of the kingdom, which was to have taken place on the 22d. has in consequence .le 2nth wl.en xi ected i.lat his loyal highliess will ue so lar recovered as to be able to bear his part in the ceremonies of the day. The will and codicil of Sir Richard 13udden . Crowder, one of the Justices of the Court of Com mon Pleas, late of Carlton House-terrace, were proved in the principal Registry of the Court of Probate on the 18th inst. by his brother, George Augustus Crowder, Esq., of 42, Portland-place, the • sole executor. The personalty was sworn under . £70,000. He has bequeathed to his brother Fre derick Robert and to his sister Anne Greene each a legacy of £12,000 for their own absolute use; to his housekeeper a clear annuity of £52; and the following liberal agency to his clerk, who appears to have been most highly esteemed by this excellent Judge; and we cannot forbear to give the terms of this bequest in the Judge's own words :—" 1 give to my faithful clerk. John Dickenson, whose kind. attention and valuable services I have received for upwards of 30 years, and whose zeal, diligence, and integrity I have ever highly appreciated, the sum of £3,000." The will and codicil were entirely in his owu handwriting; and it is a remarkable fact that he suffered alterations to appear in his will without the initials of himself and the wit nesses, or any allusion thereto in the attestation clause. The witnesses, however, were able to prove , they w ere ma d e prev i ous to the execution. ws ir Rhas a e coi bm w ei i rrl l t l i6l o t, f ee le.
