BURROWS and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun tries, as the increasing patronage of the highest families in the land is a sufficient guarantee. They beg to call particular attention to their pure Tonic Wines, as being so valuable to Invalids and persons of weak stomachs. A sample case, containing three full-sized wine bottles, Will be forwarded to any address on receipt of P.V.O. for 6s. 6d., or a dozen for 245.

Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most esgentlal to in valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from the homes of the weak and sickly. Its properties are duly acknowledged and appreciated by the leading men of the faculty, both at home and abroad. ... T. ' nevem, tinpusition eacu putt'c to sealed with the name of the firm.

At seven o'clock last night the committee of the Victoria met at Salter's Hotel, to arrange as to where their meetings should be held until the pre mises can be rebuilt, or others engaged by Mr. Fisher. The cause of the fire is not known, but it is supposed to have broken out in the kitchen on the first floor at the back of the house, and thus spread until destruction was all but complete. The front rooms on the first and second floors have escaped with the least damage, and the valuable stock of wines in the cellars is also entirely saved. We cannot at the present moment estimate cor-, rectly the extent of the loss suffered by Mr. Fisher; but among other things destroyed were some paint ings of upwards of £l5O value, which adorned the club-room.

The betting to-day was characterised more by largo out lays of money than important changes in quotations. For the Derby 1,100 to 100 was taken about Umpire, 400 to 50 about Buccaneer, 2,000 to 30 about Blue Ruin, and 2,000 to 20 about Rising Sun. Buccaneer continues in great re quest for the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes ; 5 to 2, how ever, against him, was always obtainable during the after noon. For the City and Suburban Handicap, offers of 10 to 1 (which for several days .had become very common) against Chere Arnie were simultaneously closed with, until about £lOO had been invested upon her at that figure. For the Chester Cup 1,000 to 30 was taken about The Squire, and a similar bet would have been taken about Longrange. Some rather spirited wagering took place upon the Bir mingham Steeplechase, Heads or Tails being backed for the most money ; 6 to 1 was the current offer on the field. CLOSING PRICES.

(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) Harry Lloyd Bickerstaffe, aged 34, was indicted for bigamy at Leeds, in marrying Anne Maria Campbell on the Bth of November last, his former wife, Mona Brougham Bickerstaffe, being then alive. The prisoner pleaded " Guilty." It appeared that the prisoner is a clergyman of the Church of England, and was at the time filling a curacy. He became acquainted with Miss Camp bell while visiting a clergyman at Leeds, and, hav ing proposed marriage to her, was accepted, he having satisfied her friends of his respectability by the testimonials he produced of the manner in which he had fillet several caracies. It appeared that be had separated from his wife about twelve months before, and this fact becoming known to Miss Campbell's friends shortly after she had gone through the ceremony of marriage with him, the present proceedings were instituted. These facts were proved at his Lordship's request for his satis faction by Mr. Blanshard, the counsel for the pro secution, on Saturday, and his Lordship took time to 'thisconsider his morn n judgment. theprisoner soner was brought up foi sentence with other prisoners. His Lordship, in passing sentence, said there was no crime known to the law which differed more in amount of criminality. In the present case the offence was a very grave one, for not only had the prisoner inflicted a serious injury on a young lady of respectability , but he had done a great injury by his example. He was a person of education and a excuse.

The correspon dence is principally ooupietl with the new pro posals of the FrenCh Government• for settling the affairs of Italy ; and - the most important of the French despatches on this head, such as M. Thou vends letters to the French ambassadors at the courts of London. and .Turii3, h4:ve already been made public. A number . of references arc, however, of necessity made to the•subject of. Savoy, and Lord J. Russell's language. 'With 'regard both - to this and the new policy ofihe French Government in Italy is plain and decided thioughout:: On — the 17th of February Lord. Cawley writes thg he had just had an interview withsM. Thouvenel; •who had commu nicated, to him in _confidence the 'Emperor's new scheme in regard to Italy, askiug at the same time if her Majesty's Government would• be satisfied with such a proposal...Lor4 Cowley fit once re plied, : that "the poiicy •of her Majesty's Govern ment was not to interfere in Italy at all, but to let the Italian people settle . theft: Own affairs;" and he could not therefore held out any hope that the English Government would enteriain any such pro posal. Lord J. Russell pi mpfly cbartned this - statement. After replying that her Majesty's Go vernment had propbsad four poin'ts to Austria and France; the fourth a Which' had 'been "virtually" accepted, he adds:— • •• • _ _ _ In this state of affairs it iiimPossible for her Ma jesty's Government to recommend any other plan. The declarations of ColMt Irechli4rg convey a reso lution on the part,2,f ,, Austria-mot to outstep the limits Th of Venetia. 'ese of'Count °Avow are positive in abjuring any attempt to disturfS':Venctia, or those States which still acknowledge the authority of the Pope.. It would seem, therefore, that the next step is to order new elections in Central Italy. Whether these elections should be conducted upon principles already known and aeted: 'upoii, or by universal suffrage, is a matter upon which her Majesty's Go vernment decline to interfere. They wish to leave Italy to herself. With respect to Savoy, which is again mentioned in your despatch, the sentiments of her Majesty's GoverMneUt are already known to M. Thouvenel, and it is hardly necessary to say that their objections are not diniluished by the pre sent proposal. .• After the delivery of the, Emperor's speech, Lord Cowley writes to Lord J. Russell : •• _ . I saw M. Thouvenel for a few minutes this after noon after his return from the opening of the ses sion of the Legislative Bodies., Our conversation turned upon the Emperor's speech, and I expressed to M. Thouvenel my apprehension that his Majesty's words would not inspire in Europe the confidence which they breathed themselves. I then passed to the paragraph of the Emperor's speech relating to the annexation of Savoy. Re marking that his Majesty had made use of the words reclamer and vendiquer, with regard to territory belonging to another Sovereign, I expressed my great regret that the promise which his Majesty had been good enough to make to me—namely, that the wishes of the Savoyards themselves should be respected, had not been alluded to by his Ma jesty, M. Thouvenel replied that although the de claration was net to be found in the Emperor's speech, his Majesty intended to abide by it. Lastly, I inquired of M. Thouvenel what was in tended by the words,. Versants Francais dcs Mon tagnes ?'' What amount of territory did this term include P His Excellency announced that he could not take upon himself to. specify less than Savoy and the county of Nice. On the third of the present month Lord Sohn Russell writes : Lord S. Russell to Earl Cowley. (Extract.) Foreign-office, March 3, 1860. I have to state to your Excellency as the opinion of her Majesty's Government that, after the Austrian answer to M. T houven el' s able despatch to M.de Mou stier had been received, the Italian question ap peared to approach its solution. The French and British Governments had only to leave Central Italy to take its own course. No disturbance was likely to arise, and when the new power was consolidated, Russia and Prussia might have yielded to Fact that recognition which they denied to Right. The new proposals of France have again made every thing uncertain. Should the King of Sardinia de clare himself the Pope's vicar, he will hardly be recognised in that character by his Holiness. Whether he is or not, the laws on the church and on education which the Pope's vicar would sanction would be directly opposed to the policy of the Pope, and perhaps to the canon law. Then, if any di..- content should aris e a t any t i me, t h e P o p e might take upon himself to annul the delegation of his vicar, and absolve his subjects fronetheir obedience to his usurped authority. Then, again, with regard to Tuscany. The indication of a prince of the house of Savoy, inserted in the original project, is omitted, and every resource of intrigue will be set at work to obtain for Tuscany the powerful protec tion of a prince of the house of Austria, or of the Imperial family of France. With respect to uni versal suffrage, every nation ought to judge for itself whether that franchise is suitable for itself or not. France has judged. for herself that it is suit able to the state of France, and no one thinks of questioning that decision. But Tuscany has lived under other laws, where utility has been g enerally recognised. As it appears, however, that 'l?uscany has now accepted universal suffrage, it is not neces sary to carry this discussion any further. Our ob• ject has been that so well stated by M. de Thou vend in his despatch to M. Moustier in these words :—`‘ Italy, for centuries past, has been a field open to a struggle for influence between F ranee and Austria. This field must be closed. If one of the two Powers, formerly rivals; . made a sacrifice which should be directly to the advantage of the other—if the supremacy in Italy, only changing h ands, was to be ours for a time—the question would appear Under an aspect rendering all discussion idle and bar ren. But the question is not so propounded. Franco does not seek to substitute herself for A-ustria in Italy; the matter is, to constitute Italy herself as an intermediate party —as a kind of neutral ground, henceforth inaccessible to the action, alternately predominating and always precarious, of one or other of the two Powers... From a despatch written by Lord Bloomfield, from Berlin, on the same - day, it appears that up to the let of March the Prussian. Governme at had re lied on the Emperor's Milan proclamation that he sought no territorial aggrandisement for France : Lord Bloomfield to Lord S. Ituseell. (Received March 5.) (Extract.) Berlin, March 3,,1860- I have the honour to inform your lort..ls.ip that Baron Schleinitz has told me that he avt 'lied him self of a visit which he received this MOT ning from Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne to allude . to the sub ject of the proposed annexation of Savoy • and Nice to France, His excellency appears to h aye stated to the French Minister that in Gerinany r there was but one opinion of determined opposition to the pro ject; that Prussia had hitherto relied on - the assu rances contained in the manifesto issu,2cl. by the Emperor Napoleon at Milan on the con .c).usion of the war, that he sought no territorial a grandise ment for France; but that as the questioi a. had been mentioned in his Imperial Majesty's speech to the Legislative Assembly, he could no longer be silent, and that he trusted no step would be t .24.1 ten con nected with the subject until it had been discussed by the great Powers. Baron Schleinite . seems to have also observedto the French Ministes c that the present Government of Prussia had been t he means of restraining the violent feeling which. had been excited in Germany by the war in Ital 1-, and to have made themselves unpopular by so (1 oing, and that on the question of Savoy it must not; be consi deicd, because they have remained silent up to the present moment, that this meant indifference ; for they should iew this absorption w ith tit e c greatest distrust. I H s m eellency then remarked t l - tat it was a matter of some sure rise to him that no allusion to the question of Savoy had been yet m ade by the French legation at this court; that it WI Ls an Euro• pean question, and had already assun t ed serious dimensions., without any communication ibeing made to Prussia on the subject. Prince de la' Lour d'Au- Tergne replied that the French Goverr a nent were well aware of the feeling that existed in , Germany, and he believed that it was for this reason that much iifficulty had been felt in approach Ling it , and that the French Government had theref ore avoided a discussion of the subject. Before lea ring Baron Schleinitz his excellency said to me tha t the policy of Prussia was decidedly opposed to the annexa tip; 5 4 that lie thought Yrigicc gaielt be ORO upon, at all events, to take no , further step in the matter until a conference were held. The correspondence terminates with the despatch in,which Lord 3. Russell directs Lord Cowley to ask. in What way the European 'powers would be . . consulted with regard to the annexation of Savoy, and Lord Cowley's reply. Lord J. Russell to Earl Cowley. Foreigri-oflice, March 6, 1860. My Lord,—M. de Persigny called upon me to day, and read to me a despatch of M. Thotivenel, -on the subject of Savoy, in answer to my despatch -to your lordship of the 13th ult. M. Thouvcnel directed M. de Persigny to leave ire a copy of this despatch, HI desired it; but as there was nothing new in the arguments, although very ably put, and • as I did not wish to continue a barren controversy, I did not ask for a copy. I wish your lordship, -however, to ascertain from M. Thouvenel in what manner the promise of the Emperor that the Great Powers shall be consulted. is to be carried into •cffect. Is there to be a previous Tote in Savoy and in Nice ? If that vote is -unfavourable to separa- tion, will the project fall to the ground? If it is favourable, will the proposed cession, by the King of Sardinia,, of Savoy and Nice be submitted for consideration to the Great Powers ? To what do the terms " reclamer " and "revendiquer," in the Emperor's speech, allude ? Are they intenhed to apply to the term between 1814 and 1815, or to the period between 1792 and 1814 ?--4 am, &c., • (Signed) J. RUSSELL. Earl Cowley to Lord J. Russell.—(Received March 10.) • (Extract.) Paris, March 9, 1860. I was stu'prised, on calling this morning on M. Thouvenel to find he had been for two days in possession of M. de Cavour's reply to that part of his excellency's despatch of the 24th ultimo which related to the annexation of Savoy to France. I proceeded, in compliance with the instructions con tained in your lordship's despatch of the 6th inst., to ask his excellency in what manner the promise of the Emperor. that -the Great Powers should be consulted on this matter, is to be carried into effelq: M.Thouvenel replied that, the Sardinian Govern ment having declared that they would not object to the annexation of Savoy to France if such should be the wish of the Savoyards themselves, he was about to draw up a despatch which would be ad dressed to the imperial representatives at the courts, parties to the treaties of 1815, explaining the wishes of the Imperial Government, and the reasons why it was considered that these wishes should be ac ceded to. His excellency thought that this despatch would be sent off on Tuesday or Wednesday next. With regard to your lordship's second question, whether there should be a previous vote in Savoy and Nice, M. Thouvenel replied that the Imperial Government adhered to the principle of consulting the wishes of the inhabitants of those two countries. In what manner and at what period this appeal was to be made he could not now state; but, as at pre sent advised, he should say , that the communication to the Powers would precede the vote. He reserved to himself, however, to act in this matter as cir cumstances might require. Should the vote be un favourable, he had no hesitation, in reply to your loraship's third question, in stating that the pro ject of annexation would fall to the ground. Your lordship's fourth question is answered under the first. To your lordship's inquiry as to the period to which the terms' " reclamer" and "revendiquer," employed in the Emperor's speech, allude, M. Thouvenel replied, to no particular period what ever. The Emperor considered that the new order of things about to be established in Italy gave him the right to protect the French frontier; and it was in virtue of this right, which it seemed to him he possessed, that his Majesty made use of the words in question. In the course of the conversation. M. Thouvenel, in reply to an observation which fell from me, said that the Imperial Government would of course receive with due consideration, and scru pulously examine, any arguments or advice which might be given in answer to the communication which he was about to make to the Great POA ers. These new despatches completely meet the charge recently brought against Lord John Russell, that he did not communicate the intentions of the French Government with regard to Savoy to our representatives at foreign Courts. The very first, dated February 17, is from Lord John Russell to Lord A. Loftus, enclosing "copies of correspon dence which has lately passed with. the French Government respecting the rumoured annexation of Savoy." DESTRUCTION OF THE VICTORIA CLUB BY FIRE. Yesterday morning about a quarter past seven a fire broke out on the premises of 4, Victoria-street, Holborn-bridge, which ended in the entire destruc tion of Mr. Ishmael Fisher's wine-stores, better known to our readers as the meeting and committee rooms of the Victoria Club. The building was a very extensive one, and contained many rooffis, including the handsome an 4 commodious saloon used by the members of the club for their conveni ence during the racing season. It appears that the fire was first discovered about half-past seven o'clock, and almost immediately after the unwelcome alarm the premises became enveloped in a complete sheet of flame. From careful inquiries made during the raging of the fire, it appears to have originated in the follow ing manner :—About a quarter past seven o'clock the servant, who had got up a little after six o'clock, called out to a young man who had been sleeping in the premises, named Henry Coleman, " The house is on fire, make haste and bring some water." Coleman at once hurried down to the ground-floor warehouse, which ho found to be on fire in the front window. He and the servant made desperate attempts to subdue the flames by pouring buckets of water upon the fire, but it continued to spread, and at last assumed such a formidable appearance as to completely block up the front doorway, and thereby cut off all means of their retreating from that part of the building. At the same time the following persons were in the upper reams, some in their beds asleep :—Mrs. Stevens, a relative of the owner of the building, Miss Strickland, and Miss Taylor, and Miss Wiltshire. Coleman ran up stairs and tried to get the poor creatures to the attic, knowing that if he could do so they could pass along the gutter to the next house, but they be came so frightened, and the smoke became so dense, that they were unable to move. The young man, Coleman, in order to save his own life, was com pelled to leave the females to rush to the top of the building, and, having got out of the window, he passed into the next house, and had just reached the street, when Mr. Fogo, the chief officer of the B district, had arrived with his engines, and was then informed that several persons were upstairs. By direction of Mr. Fogo, the ladders carried on the engines were " married " together, and were raised in front of the burning building ; two fire men, named respectively Hall and Robins, then mounted the ladders, entered the rooms and brought out in safety the four unfortunate females, and car ried them down the ladders, the bystanders loudly cheering the firemen for their intrepidity. Engines from the more distant brigade stations having ar rived, the firemen, under the direction of Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent, and Mr. Fogo, with Engineer Fleming, and other officers, went to work in an admirable manner at their engines, but in spite of the water thrown upon the flames, the work of devastation continued, and in less than a quarter of an hour after the outbreak the flames were rushing through the roof and several of the front windows. This caused an immense concourse of persons to rush to the place, and it was with difficulty the firemen could pass to and fro to pur sue their dangerous calling, when Inspectors Afitchell and Leonard, with Acting-Inspector Knight, came up with a powerful body of police, and at once cleared a space for the effectual work• ing of the engines, but it was nearly four hours be fore the fire was entirely extinguished, and not until the premises and the contents were, for the most part, destroyed. All the inmates were rescued unhurt, although seriously alarmed, and so remarkably rapid was the spread of the conflagration that the affrighted in mates were compelled to quit the house in their night-dresses. The building appears completely gutted, the roof is quite off, and the once handsome club room presents nothing but four blackened walls laid open to the street in consequence of the burning of the partitions which formerly divided it from the bar and passage. In the course of Tuesday the various members of the club arrived as usual at midday for the customary daily meeting, and their astonishment can well be imagined when they discovered that since their last visit the premises had been destroyed. Through out the day the members congregated in knots in the vicinity of their former club-house, discussing the occurrence, and much sympathy was expressed for Mr. Ishmael Fisher, who, although insured, will be a heavy sufferer by the fire, in consequence of C 9 TCril i g 4 3 / 4 C PAU vale 9i his 1a- 211. E NAVY. The hired transport Canaan, Capt. Wilson, ar rived at Spithead yesterday afternoon, with 150 naval invalids on board, from Hong Kong, in charge of Lieut. Woodman, R.N., Admiralty agent, and Dr. A. Watson, lt.N., surgeon in charge. The greater portion of the invalids are from Admiral Hope's squadron, and were wounded in the UDSUC cessful attack on the Taleu Forts, at the mouth of the Peiho River, on the 25th of June, 1859. There are 16 cases where amputation has been performed, and many on board who were very severely wounded: Dr. Watson states that all the wounded have progressed most favourably, and that only four deaths have occurred during the voyage home. The following officers and passengers have arrived by the Canaan :—Mr. 11. Ley, master, R.N. •, Dr. C. A. Lees, assist.-sure., invalided ; Mr. W. Bick nell, second master, R.N., ditto; Mr. Powlett, mid shipman, R.N., ditto; Mr. Moyscy, assist.-engi neer, R.N., ditto ; Mr. Bertram, assist.-engineer, lt.N., ditto ; Mr. Mitchell, gunner, R.N., ditto; Mrs. Bampfield, wife of Capt. lanapfield, Ist Royals, two children, and servant ; Mrs. Rangall, family, and servant. The ship sailed from Hong Kong on the 13th of October, 1859, calling at Singapore, Cape of Good Hope, and St. Helena. The naval invalids will be landed this morning at 'nine o'clo'clt7ty steam tugs from the ship at Spit head, after - which tho-vhipuwll.l . ,sail for Deptford to land stores. The Hornet, 17, screw, in No. 1 dock, at Ports mouth, is having her copper stripped off prepara tory to having defects repaired, caused by the ra vages of the teredo navalis. The Dee, paddle, Master-Commander Pullen, having discharged machinery in the steam basin at Portsmouth, sailed yesterday evening for Devon port. The Sprightly, paddle, Master-Commander Allen, has hauled alongside Portsmouth dockyard to re piir damages to her wheel, caused by the Fire brand fouling her the previous day. The damage to the Euryalus, 51, screw, Captain J. W. Tarleton, C.B , in No. 7 dock at Portsmouth, caused by her getting ashore on the coast of Syria, has not proved to lee of so extensive a character as was anticipated. About 14 feet of her false keel is gone from forward. The :paddlewheel steamer Harpy is receiving stores at Devonport for the screw steamship La Hogue, 60, Captain R. Macdonald, at Greenock. The screw steamship Nile, 90, Captain Barnard, will be removed from the basin in Keyham steam yard to-morrow, for the purpose of making a trial trip with her engines. Mr. Drummond, midship man of the Mersey, has been appointed to the Nile. The screw steamship Windsor Castle, 116, was removed on Monday from the basin in Keyham steamyard to her moorings, near Wilcove, Ha moaze. . . The Royal George, 104, at Plymouth, is to be stripped, cleared out, and converted into a two decked ship. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieutenant Richard Wood ward, to the London ; Robert T. C. Scott, Staff Surgeon, to the Impregnable ; and E. A. W. Chaffers, assistant-paymaster, to the Megrera. THE ARMY. The annexed memorandum, dated the 4th inst., has been just issued from the Horse Guards, by General Sir G. A. Wetherall, the Adjutant- General : ------- - " The General Commanding-in-Chief observes that, among the pecuniary embarrassments of young officers, which too often form the subject of com• plaint to his Royal Highness, debts due to mess men form a considerable portion—not for the mere ordinary mess expenses, but generally for money borrowed to pay sudden and casual demands—until, in the aggregate, the amount becomes considerable. " His Royal Highness has also reason to believe that debts to messmen aro sometimes increased by their consenting to charge the messing to the officers' private accounts; and that the certificate required weekly, that all mess debts have been paid, is not always strictly correct. " It is incumbent upon commanding officers and upon general officers, at their half-yearly inspec tions, to ascertain, by personal inquiry from all parties, whether any officer is in debt to the mess man, not only for messing but on any other ac count. " His Royal Highness strictly enjoins command ing officers to prohibit as a breach of good order the reprehensible and unworthy practice of bor rowing money from messmen, and recommends that in all mess contracts a clause may be inserted, ren dering nugatory all such transactions, and binding the messmcn with penalties for any infraction of the rule." A.N ELOPEMENT AND ITS RESULTS. A case of considerable interest is now pending in tne shape of a charge of perjury against Mr, Edwin Dawson, recently of West-street, Sheffield, pianoforte tuner. The circumstances of the case are somewhat curious, involving as they do a romantic attachment, an elopement and marriage, a suit in Chancery, and finally a charge of perjury. The young lady who has been the innocent cause of these events is Miss Frances Blanche Jessett, daughter of Mr. Jessett, surgeon, who at the time of her marriage was only 17 years of age. Up to June last she was at a boarding-school at Scar borough, and on her return to Sheffield she went to live with Mrs. Dawson, the mother of the lady whom her father, Mr. Jessett, has married since the death of his first wife. Here she became ac quainted with Mr. Dawson, who is a son of Mrs. Dawson, the lady with whom she went to reside. Very quickly Mr. Dawson found favour in the eyes o f the young lady, proposed, and was ac cepted. But they had every reason to believe that Mr. Jessett would not consent to their marriage, and they, therefore, determined upon a clandestine union. Early in September theyleft town to gether, and proceeded to Birmingham, where they were married before the registrar. As soon as Mr. daughter Jessett discovered that his had gone to Birmingham, he went i n searchof her, but was too late to prevent her marriage. Alt hoagh, however, theirrevocable vow had pronounced, pro ceedings were taken not at all pleasant to the bride groom. Under the will of the late Mr. J. Sander son,. £4,300 was l e ft t o Mi ss J essett, . paya bl e upon' her marriage. Mr. E. Tozer, one of the trustees under the will, had, some time previous to the mar riage, obtained his from Miss Jessett the Court of Chaneery a release from Jessett thenbecame a ward in Chancery. Upon hearing of the marriage, Mr. Tozer mo ved the Court of Chancery in the matter, and Mr. Dawson was cited to appear before the Master of the Rolls, and. show cause why he should not be committed for contempt of court in having married the ward of the court without its consent. When the ease came on, an affidavit was read from Dr. Thompson, stating that the young lady's state of health was such that any excitement, such as that likely to be caused by her husband being sent to prison, would be seriously injurious to her, and miht even s:ndanaber her life. Under these cir cumstances, and as the case was not pressed against Dawson by the friends of the young lady, the Mas ter did not order him to be imprisoned • but he is sued a decree fo r the settlin g u p on the lady . herself of the £4,300 to which the youthful Mrs. Dawson was entitled. So far all went smoothly for the . , new married couple. But Mr. Dawson's troubles • I were not ended. Some statements made by him before the registrar to fulfil the requirements neces sary before the marriage could take pl ace, and which were stated to be false, were laid before the court. These were that he and Miss Jessett had lived in Birmingham 15 days (whereas they had only been there t wo) ; and that the consent of Miss Jessett's father to the marriage had been obtained. There were also some alleged false statements as to the ages of Dawson and Miss Jessett. The Master of the Rolls intimated that he should lay the fact , before the Attorney-General, and leave it to him to decide whether a p rosecution for Friary sh ou ld b e instituted I gainst Dawson.

He leant back in his chair, and it was evi dent that something more than a fainting-fit had sized him. Several medical men were immediately in attendance, and every means were resorted to, that medical skill could devise, but he grew gra dually worse, and, a sofa cushion having been pro cured, he was laid upon it and conveyed to his lodgings, which were close at hand. He had. scarcely reached them when he breathed his last. , The Baron's son happened to be attendin g his lordship upon circuit, and was, of course, in attend ance upon him when he expired. Mr. Bevan, whose name was in the commission, announced to the grand jury the sad event which had occurred, and stated that the Court would be adjourned until 12 o'clock on Wednesday, as the most respectful course that could be adopted. It was stated by the medical attendant to be a case of serious apoplexy. THE L.I2'E SIGNOR LABLACIIE. Notwithstanding the time that has elapsed since the death of Signor Lablactic, which it may be re membered occurred on Jan. 23, 1853, a deep feeling still attaches to all that concerns so eminent an artist. We are sure, therefore, that we shall give uni versal gratification by announcing that the Queen has been pleased to present a copy of the portrait of Signor Lablache, executed for her Majesty by Win terhalter, to the surviving relatives—a compliment no less gratifying to the family than indicative of her Majesty's appreciation of worth and excellence. With mindful consideration, the gift is accompa nied with explicit suggestions—from such a dis tinguished quarter amounting to commands—that the charge of the picture should be entrusted during his lifetime to Signor Frederick Lablache, and at his decease to be transmitted in succession to any of his brothers or sisters, children of the late Signor L. Lablache, thus providing that the picture should remain a heir-loom to the family. A communica tion embodying such instructions accompanied the gift, which, in accordance with her Majesty's com mands, has been recently delivered to Signor gc,c4crick Lablache, as the eldest member of the --VOA ASIATE OF TRADE. LEEDS, March 13.—The market in the cloth-halls to-day has been of a quiet character. There was scarcely a full average attendance of buyers, nor were many large purchases made, but the tone of the trade is cheerful and prices are firm. Light fabrics aro the most in demand. The clothiers are mostly well employed, but some of the dressers are rather slack. Wool continues very firm in price. MANCHESTER, 13TH.—The tone of the market to-day is manifestly more depressed than at any time last week. The continued absence of anything like a fair demand for either goods or yarns has a very discouraging effect, and though prices are, of course, sustained as before by the existence of pre vious contracts, there is a much less firm appear ance than for some time past. If there were now only sufficient inquiry to test quotations fairly, there seems little reason to doubt their giving way per ceptibly. As it is, a more decided decline can hardly be avoided unless some improvement takes place in the prospects of business. In yarns generally there is apparently less firmness than in goods, but in both departments it is the Eastern trade that shows most weakness. I{ocIIDALE, 12Tn.—There has been a good de mand for wool to-day, especially for skin kinds, and fully last week's prices have been obtained. There was a rather quiet market for flannels, but where manufacturers would make any abatement from the topmost prices asked purchases were made. For Yorkshire flannels there is a good demand, and prices are firm. The manufacturers are well em ployed. TIIF ER.ENCII MINE TRADE. The following is the part of the report of MM. Rouher and Baroche to the Emperor Napoleon on the state of the wine trade between England and Franco prior to the treaty : " The import duty on wine in England is now (24th Jan. last), 151 f. 33c. per hectolitre, or about 300 per cent. of the average value of wine in France. The exports from France have, there fore, only been wines of superior qualities, and. with those the progress made was very little. From 1827 to 1858 they rose from 29,000 hecto litres to 44,000, representing an actual value of 15 millions. France furnishes to Great Britain one-sixth part of her consumption, which in 1858 amounted to 271,000 hectolitres. France in 1858 applied to the English Government to re duce the duty to 28f. per hectolitre, and it is the rate which has been now accepted by the plenipo tentiaries of Great Britain. The duty is to be im mediately reduced ftom ss. per gallon to 35., and in 14 months it will be further reduced to ls. for wines containing less than 15 per cent. of proof spirit. This charge constitutes the normal duty on French. wines. If it rises to 2s in consequence of the quan tity of spirit contained in the wine, this increase is to prevent loss to the British Treasury by the im portation of wine strongly alcoholised, and which by distillation might facilitate a fraud on the Cus toms and excise duties on brandy. Such a large re duction will certainly exceed the hopes of the French. wine growers ; but such a change was absolutely ne cessary to effect a revolution in the habits of the English, and render the use of French wines popular ' in the United Kingdom. For many years pait. French wine, which from its abundance and price is attainable by almost every inhabitant of prance, has been accessible exclusively to the wealthy classes in England. It is evident that the econo mic regime has been the direct and absolute cause ' which has restricted, to the very smallest propor tions, the consumption of wine in the United King ' dom. In order to be convinced of that fact, it is only necessary to verify what is the consump tion of wino in the principal States of Europe per head and per annum. In Austria it is 5T litres ; Spain, 33 ; Portugal, 100 ; Switzerland. 56 ; France, 100 ; and Es gland, 1, and a small. fraction. Is it not evident that an eno r m ous re ps duction of price must progressively introduce tits use of French wines among those classes of com. sumers who are now almost entirely ignorant cif the taste and quality of French productions Ou r soil has been so richly endowed by nature, that it may furnish wine suited to all fortunes and to all climates. The productive pow er of the vine-grow -. in g departments is great enough to satisfy the de. mands of an increasing consumption. This stipe. lation of the treaty is therefore a gnat economic fact which may have the most serious effect on the agrin cultural wealth of France, It is combined more. over with another not less efficacious and not less fruitful—the clause relative to the export of brandy from France." is with pleasure we notice th• daily increase of cures without medicine of indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility, by Du 13arry's delicious Revalenta Arabica.
