COURT OF lIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Cresswoll.) GIBSON V. CIBSON. THE 'EXTRAORDTNARI CASE OF PERJURY. Sir F. Slade addressed the Ccurt on the part of the re spondent, and contended that his client's case was este- Eished in the evidence relative to the petitioner's impro priety with two females of the names of Saunders and Farley. The learned counsel was then proceeding to deal with the case as related to Mrs. Hepworth, but Mr. Sergeant Shee interposed and said it was unneces sary to enter into that part of tie case, as he could not rebut the evidence as to tha female Saunders. The Judge Ordinary then delivered judgment. He said that with regard to Mrs. Hepworth he was relieved from the difficult task of comparing circumstantial evidence with positive denial. He thought the case of adultery of Mr.- Gibson was most distinctly and c:early proved, and it had LO3ll shown that he was a man of exceedingly depraved habits. There could be no doubt :hat he had been given to abandoned practices, and staying out late at night, and a3sociated with immoral characters. He did net consider such a person entitled to the restoration of conjugal rights, or to the custody of his child. He would therefore grant the prayer of the respondent, and pronounce the decree of divorce. The child must remain in the respon dent's custody until she attained the age of 14, and he would condemn the petitioner in tie costs. ROWLEY V. THE LATE MRS: ROWLEY. At the Westminster Police Court yesterday, the ad journed proceedings in this case were again proceeded with. Mr. Sleigh, as formerly, appeared for the ion: Mr. Rowley, and Mr. Metcalfe for the late Mrs. Rowley. Mr. Rowley, in cross-examination by Mr Metcalfe, said— I was 18 years of age when I was married. I was born on the 18th of January, 1833. I see that lam de scribed as 20 years of ago. If I did represent myself as 20, it was to save the lady the pain of having married a boy of 18. She was forced to marry. her mother did not know that she was married. My stepmother and some other relatives were present for Mrs. Rowley's sake. I don't recollect on the very day of the marriage asking her to sell out her £2,000. I knew she had that money before I was married, as she offered to pay my debts before the wedding. It was, I believe, sold out in about ten days after the wedding. I paid £lOO to Mrs. Lambert, on the part of Mrs. Rowley, and banked the rest. My mother did not go down and obtain £9O of that sum on my behalf. Lady Langford thought I had been caught by the mar riage. Mr. Metcalfe—A very great catch, certainly. (Laughter.) Witness--My mother was very much offended by my marriage. I went abroad after my marriage. I don't remember how soon the circumstances at Maurice's Hotel took place. I was only there a week. It 1 must have been about the middle of the week. I distinctly state that Mrs. Rowley was locked up at her own request. The reason my wife did not lock kierself inside was that she said I was so dreadfully jealous that I had better do so, and then I should be certain she was safe. I have been jealous of my wife, as I have seen her kissing a gold charm that had been given to her by a gentleman. That was the only time I ever locked her up. Mrs. Rowley told me she was continually being made love to. Mr. Burt was the name of the gentleman who was in Mrs. Rowley's room, and to whom she had an objection. I had been to the theatre before I returned to my apartments at Maurice's. I took supper before I left for home. We had a quarrel at Calais. The windows of our apartments opened to the ground. When I returned to where I had been sitting, I found Mrs.. Rowley undressing herself before the window with the blind up. I told her I thought the proper thiP:k for a lady to do before she undressed herself was to shut the shutters, as the men who were smoking their cigars could see her. We quarrelled about the blinds or the shutters. I don't recollect whether there were curtains to the windows. I have sworn that I did not tear her bonnet. I untied it. Here is a portrait of the lady ; you will see that if I untied her bonnet it would fall off The witness here handed in a black profile of a female with a small.bonnet, and he continued, " Here is one of me done at the same time." (Much laughter.) Mr. Metcalfe--You said you wore a wide-awake at the time. Witness—l cannot say what became of the lady's bonnet when I untied it. It must have fallen into the road. She was not cross when I untied her bonnet. I can make no mistake about that. Speaking of our going to Frankfort, I never kicked her during the journey. It was about two or three hours after we arrtred that she was taken ill. I will swear that Mrs. Rowley was not insensible during her illness. I don't remember whether she fainted. Parkins, her maid, and the doctor whom I sent for were present. I don't recollect the name of the person. I know I paid him a guinea and a half for attending. I remained up attend ing to Mrs. Rowley. I did not go to bed while she was lying ill. I cannot account for the bruises on Mrs. Row ley's legs if the maid swears she saw them. I think my wife was quite capable of making the bruises herself. I swear most decidedly that I never gave her any salt. If the servant swears that she saw me throw a dressing-case at her mistress she will commit perjury. I never prevented Mrs. Rowley leaving the carriage from Strasburg to Paris. I asked her not to leave the carriage. She then said, "If I am not to leave the carriage, provide the things necessary for me in it." In explanation with respect to the salt—we arrived at Mayence from Frankfort. As we were walking along the bridge of boats, Mrs. Rowley was same distance in advance. All of a sudden she stopped sheet. I asked what was the matter, and she said, " This man has frightened me." He certainly was a very ugly man I must admit. (Laughter.) She was carrying my dressing-case, and the man, I presume, asked her in Ger man, a language she did not understand, to carry the dress ing case. When we got to the hotel she said her illness had been caused by the shock she received from that man. She told the doctor the same thing. I have a letter to my mother, stating the same thing. Mr. Metcalfe—Produce the letter. Witness—l've not got it; my solicitors will let you see it. Mr. Metcalfe—They are more discreet than you are Witness—Most certainly, or I never should have mar ried Mrs. Rowley. (Laughter.) I don't think it likely that this ugly man could have kicked Mrs. Rowley. The reason why I asked Mrs. Rowley not to leave the carriage was that she had a habit, when getting out of the carriage, of showing her legs up to the garter. (Laughter.) I have frequently seen her do it. I was passionately, I say idiotically, in love with my late wife all this tir d e, and it was to prevent a repetition of this habit that I e .sked her not to leave the carriage. I never seized Mrs. itowley by the throat in my life. We quarrelled vers frequently. She used to call me a brute, and used to rty she was as good as I was, and such sort of chaff. I used to call her names, certainly not a brute. Mr. Metcalfe—l am anxior a s to know what you called her. Witness—Upon my word I don't know. Mr. Metcalfe—Do s.:ry to recollect. Witness—l M is t , Mr. Metcalf—Did you ever use the little word "liar ?" Witness—Oh yes, without question. I always did so when she told me a lit, and I think I was quite right in doing so. This sort of thing occurred a very short time after we were married. The letter put into my hand is in ray handwriting. Mr. Metcalfe then read the letter. It was addressed to Mrs. Bishop (Mrs. Rowley's mother). One of the pas sages in itwas " I know she would scorn to tell a lie. Witness—l can't recollect any other name but a liar. I have occasionally sworn in my life. I have sworn at her without her swearing at me. I dare say I have called her a brute. I never disguise my feelings. (Laughter.) With respect to cutting off my wife's hair, I cut it off from both sides about as high as the cheek bones. I will swear her hair was not as short as mine when I had done so. I have the hair made up into a wig. I can produce it. Mr. Metcalfe—Do so ; 1 am anxious to see this wig. Witness—lt was not a wig. Mr. Metcalfe—You called it a wig just now. Witness—lt was a band of hair to go across her head. It looked much better than the real thing. (Laughter.) She made not the slightest resistance when I had the scissors in my hand. I cut it off very carefully. She wore the assis tance—(laughter)--I mean wig, for some time. She said she only wanted false teeth to make her quite the thing. I offered to indulge her in that particular. (Laughter.) When I asked her to get out of bed she sprang out and rushed down stairs. I told her to get up as she was lying there making a common woman's complaint—the excuse for drinking gin and water. I never took hold of her finger or dress. Mr. Metcalfe—Does not a. woman wear a dress in bed ? Witness—The question is absurd. Mr. Metcalfe—l don't think it is—most ladies wear a night-dress. Answer the questions and don't be imper tinent. Mr. Sleigh—l think it unfair that Mr. Rowley should not be treated as a gentleman. Mr. Metcalfe—Of course, and I will treat him as be do serves. Witness—l only turned down the bed-clothes, and she got out of bed. I never made use of a filthy expression to her. Mr. Metcalfe—She sprang out of bed, ran down stairs, and implored trotection from your brutality. Witness—l don't think I used that word, but if I did so I'll stick to it. I never took up a meat chopper to her. I don't think there was such a thing in the house. I recol lect some leeches being put on my head, but I don't exactly remember the cause. don't recollect that it was on that occasion that I took up a knife and made a scratch in my throat. Mr. Metcalfe—Did your mother come shortly after that affair to France ? Witness—ldon' t know that my wife sent for her. Lady Langford never told me my wife had sent for her. I will swear that Lady Langford never said, " If you go on this way I shall have to put you in a madhouse." Lady Lang ford, when she came, was surprised at my sick and worn out appearance, and she said, Lor', my dear 'boy, how ill you look." She said nothing about a madhouse. Up to to-day I have never been guilty of any ill-treatment to the lady. I never struck, kicked, or threw anything at her, or pulled her out of bed—that I swear most distinctly. I wont to Boulogne in the latter end of March and left in June. Mr. Metcalfe hero read abater addressed to Mrs. Rowley, asking forgiveness for unkind and brutal treatment. Ad dressing the witness, he said—ls that your letter ? Witness—Yes. The brutal treatment mentioned there was, that I told Mrs. Rowley's maid to putstrings into the bottoms of her drawers in order to tie them round her aneles, as she was very fond of standing on the jetty be neath which men wore continually going about. I presume that and the cutting off of her hair and throwing up her legs before my servant is included in the term "brutal ?" Mr. Metcalfe—Now ; speaking of-Dundalk, and the sham court-martial. Witness—l don't recollect whether the room was hung in black. I was half asleep and half awake when I went in. I never declined answering the questions of Captain Heaviside about wife beating. I swear I never walked out of the room without answering the question. I did not even deny it. I afterwards, told Heaviside to see my wife on the subject, and he did so. It was about a week after that circumstance that 1 left the 18th Lancers. I cannot, however, for certain say to a day. On the Ist of May I got leave to exchange. Permission was granted in a day or two after. I never asked my wife to write an insulting let ter to the officers. I don't know that she did so. The letter put into my hand is signed " Sartoris." I don't know whether it is in his handwriting. Mr. Metcalfe—The writer threatened to call you to ac count when he returned to the regiment ? Witness—Mr. Sartori% made me an apology afterwards. I never saw that letter *until to-day. I don't say I did not receive it. Mr. Metcalfe—lt is unfortunate that Mr. Sartoris cannot be called, as he is in a lunatic asylum. Witness—l never, after coming from Strasburg, at Mau rice's threatened my wife with a knife. My groom never came in and saw me standing over Mrs. Rowley, who was crouching down in a corner, holding a knife over her. Nothing of the kind e v er took place that could be twisted into such a scene. After I left Dundalk I went to Rotting dean. My wife was there. I went to Ostend. I never left her without money to pay rent. I told her Lady Lang ford would supply her w ith money. I never wrote to her telling her not to pay her rent. I then went from Ostend to Brussels. While there I received a letter from my wife, telling me she was in arrears for rent. The two letters placed in nay hand are in my writing. Mr. Metcalfe read the letters, one dated June 9, '5; from Ostend, and the other June 28, '53, written in the most en dearing terms, and directing the lady to keep the writer's address secret, and imploring her to be careful with the money. The last letter advised his wife not to pay the rent of the house she was living in, but to go and see the landlord and toll him that he would get the money when her husband came home. The writer went on to advise the lady to keep enough to pay for a chatelain for herself, and keep £lO for him when , he came back. Witims—l went to Dawlish after my return to Bug- SOPWITII Y. SOP TIM. This was the petition of Matilda Sopwith, praying for a jadicial separation from her husband, Henry Lindsell Sopwith, a surgeon, practising at Tonbridge Wells. An answer had been filed, in which the respondent denied the adultery alleged to have been committed with the person mentioned in the petition. From the evidence it appeared that Mrs. Sopwith was a young lady, and the only daughter of a gentleman of for tune named Dean. Mr. Sopwith was a widower, and had a grown- up daughter. The petitioner was married at the parish church of Marylebone, in June, 1857, and after the mar riage they went to Hythe, and frees thence to Tonbridge Wells. Some circumstances had aroused the suspicion of Mrs. Sopwith very shortly after her marriage, and sho began to doubt the fidelity of her husband. His conduct towards her became much altered, as it was said he used to stop out late at night, not on professional duty, and act to wards his wife with great coldness. In May, 1858, Mrs. So pwith's family visited her at Tonbridge Wells, and'ivere dis tressed to find that an; unhappy state of affairs existed, and ono of them mentioned the subject to Mr. Sopwith, when he replied that he did not love her as he used to do. Some time after Mrs. Sopwith went to Cheltenham. After this :Mr. Sopwith wrote to his wife at Cheltenham, stating that on her return she was not to visit or receive visits from her parents. She refused to accede to such a proposal, and quitted her husband's house, and communicated to them all that had transpired, and they instituted an inquiry, which led to the discovery of the alleged improper conduct of Mr. Sopwith with a Mary Ann Prickett. Mr. Dean, the father, in his evidence, admitted that he had employed the aid of ex-policemen to get up evidence in the case. James Burk said he bad been in tho employ of Mr. Sop with, as groom, previous to his marriage with Miss Dean. Before the wedding his master appeared to be very fond of Miss Prickett. He (witness) had seen him kiss her before his marriage. After that she used to visit him. She used to go into the registry-office in Mr. Sopwith's house and remain with him some time. Witness had been tempted to look through the keyhole, and he had seen Miss Prickett sitting on the doctor's knee, and ho seemed to be taking indecent liberties with her. He had also seen Miss Prickett go into his master's house as late as half-past 11 at night. He had watched outside'until 12 o'clock to see if she came out again, but she did not. The witness was submitted to a severe cross-examination by Mr. Macready, on the part of Mr. Sopwith, with a view to show that many of the circumstances he had mentioned had been remembered after he had been drinking with the persons employed to get up evidence in the case. [The case was proceeding when we went to press.] SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION OF THE DANUTIE.-1 THREAT TO SUE LORD JOHN RUSSELL.-GUNTIIORPB V. WRIGHT. This was an action to recover £5 108., being eleven days at 10s. per day, charged, as stated by plaintiff's counsel, as under : Mr. Langford, instructed by Mr. Medina, said that plaintiff had been engaged by the agent of the commission to go to the mouth of the Danube for two years. As soon as the work was finished plaintiff was to be brought home, but ho was detained at the mouth of the Danube for eleven days, though two boats came up. Under those circum stances plaintiff sought to recover damages. The contract was handed up to the Judge, who asked how defendant could be made liable. Mr. Langford—He is the responsible agent to the com mission, and the contract was made in London. His Honour inquired as to how the commission was formed. Mr. Needham (for defendant)—Of the seven great states of Europe. His Honour—Who is the commissioner in England ? Mr. Necdham—Lord John Russell. His Honour—Then you had better sue Lord John. , (Laughter.) If Lord John is the responsible commissioner in England there will be no difficulty. Mr. Langford suggested that Wright should bo asked who was the commissioner. Defendant said that Major Stokes, of the Royal Engi neers, was the English commissioner. His Honour—Whew is he ? Defendant—At Galatz. His Honour—Then you had better take out a suit in the superior court and send it out. Defendant—l am not the agent in London. I merely witnessed the contract which was signed by plaintiff and Mr. Visit. His Honour (looking at the contract)--Visit is respon sible. Wright—l was only the witness. I act as occasional agent to the commission when they instruct me. I have funds when they hand me any. I have no money now. His Honour—You see Wright has disclosed the principal. Mr. Langford—Now place my case upon Smith's " Mercantile Law," page 170, where it is laid down that where an agent in England acts for a foreign principal, although ho may disclose his principal, he is still liable. His Honour—The agent here is Visit. Mr. Langford—Now I wish to ask defendant if Lord John Russell is one of the Commissioners ? Defendant—He is the English Foreign Minister. The same as M. Persigny, or— His Honour—lt does not matter. . Mr. Needham—The States composing the Commission are England, France, Sardinia, Russia, Turkey, Austria, and Prussia. I only said Lord John Russell was a Com missioner because it was suggested to me at the moment. His Honour—The contract is "approved by J. Stokes, Royal Engineers." Plaintiff must be nonsuited in this case, with costs. Mr. Needham--I have a good defence on the merits. Mr. Langford—Never mind the merits. The point of law is quite sufficient. POLICE IN2'ELLIGENCE-(TINS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PUBLICANS AND THEIR POTS.—SERIOUS LOSSES. — Hannah Jones, an elderly female, was charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing throe pewter pint pots from the konses of Mr. James Wilder Adams, the Union Tavern, Air-street, Piccadilly; Mr. Wm. Mardon, the Haunch of Venison, Lover Brook-street ; and Mr. J. Feetum, the White Hart, corner of Old Burlington-street. Brown, 176 B, said that, at half- past six the previous evening, ho saw the prisoner proceeding along Old Compton-stroot, in the direction of Seven Dials, and per oeiving that she had something bulky under her cloak, he asked her what she had got. She replied, "Nothing at all; but at that moment he heard a pot fall, and on asking her where she got it, she replied that she know nothing at all about it. He then heard a second pot drop, and at the sta tion the female searcher took a third pot from her pocket, and sa. in good money—pot-stealers frequently being dealers in spurious coin. Mr. Adams identified ono of the pots as his property, stating that he had lost throe dozen in 14 months. John Hill, potman to Mr. Mardou, proved the ownership of another pot, and said two dozen had been lost in four months. James Hummorston, in the employ of Mr. Jonathan Feetum identified the third pot,!and said that for the last three weeks nine or 10 a-week had been missed. Inspector Webb said he thought there were convictions against the prisoner, and she was remanded for a week that they might be proved. ASSAULT ON A PUBLICAN.—John Henry Sowden, a tailor, was charged with assaulting Mr. William Dyer, of the Groon Man. 101, New Bond-street. The defendant had boen in the house annoying the cue tomers, and on being put out by Mr. Dyer, became Tory troublesome, and while Mr. Dyer was going for a constable he followed him, and struck him a severe blow on the back. Fined 7s. I 'GALLANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—LTTIIAM, Wed nesday Evening.—During the violence of the storm at day break this morning, a vessel was seen from here in a most critical situation on the Horse Bank. The lifeboat on Peak& s plan, belonging to the Royal National Lifeboat In stitution, stationed at Lytham, was at once launched, and proceeded off to her assistance. Having arrived within a short distance of the vessel, the crew were perceived making an attempt to save their lives in their own boat. Fortu nately, the lifeboat came up to them just in time to rescue them from drowning, as their own boat was swamped, and the next wave would inevitably have capsized her. The crew, consisting of seven persons, were landed here without delay in a very exhausted condition ; one of them, a coloured man, was some time under medical treatment ere he was pronounced out of danger. The vessel is the brigantine Hannah Jane, of London, Captain Ketto, master, bound from Liverpool to Valentia, Spain, laden with gas-pipes, having left Liverpool on Friday last. This is the second vessel's orew that this valuable lifeboat has saved during Nedn thela eday nightfortnight.ststh leVrifelbeaea succeeded learn s b u y ee telezepli thath rinti zi lar on Wednesday the ship into a port of safety. ~~ land, and I was there served with a writ at the suit of Miss Rosa Bishop, for the sum of £250, which I had borrowed for two years at 8 per cent., and a bonus of £so—no bad transaction on her part. (Laughter.) I will swear I never asked my wife to come up from Dawlish. Mr. Metcalfe here read a letter written by Mr. Rowley without date, inviting his wife from Dawlish, and telling her what train to come by. _ . . . Witness —That letter refers to another circumstance. Mr. Paynter—Did you write to your wife after you re ceived information that she was packing up her things to come to London ? Witness—No. Mr. Paynter—This letter must have been written on Saturday, and on looking at the almanac the invitation corresponds with the day on which Urs. Rowley came to London. Witness—My wife came to London from Dawlish by rail way. She came in the guard's van, but I am not aware that she was compelled to do so from want of means. 1 swear it could not have been so, as she kept in a bag, which she called her bank, a considerable sum of money. Mr. Metcalfe here read another letter from Mr. Rowley in May, 1854, written in the most affectionate terms to his wife. Mr. Paynter—Both parties appear to have written in the same strain. Mr. Metcalfa—At the time you wrote that letter, were you acquainted with Mrs. Green ? Witness—l was not. I was not acquainted with Mrs. Green until the latter end 0f1854-. Mr. Metcalfe here put in an album containing an entry that it was the gift from him to Mrs. Green in 1854. Mr. Mowley—That date must be a mistake. I should like to know how you got this book. Mr. Metcalfe—Never mind. It came from the executors of Mn. Green. Mr. Rowley—l think I shall be able to prove a con spiracy between the executors and my late wife. In answer to further questions, he said—l first became acquainted with Mrs. Green in 1855, and lived with her as man and wife. I continued to do so for some time, but it was not until Mrs. Rowley left me. Mr. Paynter—l object to this evidence, as it tends to prove adultery. All they had to deal with was perjury. Mr. Metcalfe—No doubt, but there is a charge that Mr. Rowley left his wife without money, and although ho is an "honourable " by courtesy ho ought to be dealt with just as an ordinary person. Mr. Rowley here handed to the magistrate a letter he had received from his wife after she had left him. Mr. Paynter havtog read the letter, Mr. Metcalfe Maimed to have it read. Mr. Sleigb . objected. Mr. MPAcalfe—l am:entitled to object to the magistrate's readir • a letter if I am not to sea it. Paynter—l have a right to read the letter in ques tion. If lam called upon to commit Mrs. Rowley for trial, I am entitled to sea every document, and decide whether it is evidence. I decide that this letter is not evidence. _ _ Cross-examination continued—l remember writing, but I never said," I was in good keeping, and you had better go and do the same." When Mrs. Rowley was stay ing with Mr. Gye I charged her with being unfaithful to me, and on one occasion, while sleeping with me, Mrs. Rowley expressed her regret at the loss of her baby, and when I said, " What baby ?" she said she had had a miscarriage while at Mr. Gye's. The witness was then examined as to what took place in 1856, when he was in Constantinople, at which time the learned counsel said he was instructed that Mr. Rowley left his wife in a starving condition. The magistrate interfered, and informed Mr. Metcalfe that he must keep within the rules of evidence. Mr. Metcalfe complained of the tone in which he had been treated by the magistrate, and said he was rejoiced that in the next step of the inquiry he should have a jury to deal with, and not the opinion of a single individual. It was not at all likely that he could finish his cross-examination that day. The magistrate said that being so, it would be bettor if they then adjourned. It was then arranged that the case should be further heard OR Tuesday next. AQUATICS. ROWING MATCH FOR £55. The long-expected rowing match between Chitty and Mancey took place yesterday. The race created consider able interest amongst rowing men above bridge, there being a considerable difference in years between the men, and Mancey staking DO to his opponent's £25 as an equivalent for age. The course was from Putney to Mortlake, and. notwithstanding the lateness of the season, there was a very large assemblage of persons along the banks of the course, besides many boats. Henry Kelly, the ex-cham pion of the Thames, was referee. Both men were in first rate condition, and Chitty was slightly the favourite. Chitty got the best place to start from, and had he not there is no question that the result would have been the same. He got the start gradually, foot by foot at first, and then yard by yard wont right away from his man to the end, winning easily. Mancey rowed gallantly, but never could get near hia more powerful though older opponent. RACING FIXTL FEBR' JRES FOR 1860. UA RY.

How TO AVOID EXPLOSIONS OF KITCHEN BOILERS.—There ought to be a safety-pipe from the boiler conducted up the chimney, higher than the level of the supply cistern, and then conducted out of the chimney to any place where the issuing of excessive steam would be noticed. Em that purpose it might be ro-conducted to the kitchen, where the escape of steam would demon strate to the cook that tho water in the il r e e r was dangerously low, and th at she must thelt,tofire go out or burn the b oiler, for an explosion could not take place, t be generated, as a safety -valve for any steam tha t . might simply because the . pipe would act arroi l s a i rs tua ar tio a n in s the chimney.

It is net generally known that the freezing up . of even cold water pipes may be pre vented by allowing the water to trickle, even in a very minute stream, from ono of the taps constantly during a hard frost. It is surprising what an amount of hard frost is required to congeal a running stream. The non-freezing of the water of a spring, however, is not owing to the mo tion so much as to the temperature at which it issues from the earth... Manchester Guardian. EXECUTION IN FRANCE.—A man named Martin, alias Pinson, who was condemned to death some short time since by the Court of Assizes of the Charente for the mur der of his wife, underwent his sentence two days ago at Angouleme. The guillotine had been erected during the night in the market-place, but the prisoner was not in formed until five o'clock in the morning that his last hour had arrived. When he heard the chaplain enter his cell, he saw that all hopes of reprieve were over for him, and he became so cast down that after the usual ceremo nial of the toilette had been performed, he could scarcely stand. At about eight o'clock the cortege left the prison, the chaplain supporting Martin on one side, and one of the jailors on the other. On reaching the foot of the scaffold he could not move, and it was found necessary to carry him up the steps. On arriving on the platform, he see med al most unconscious, and in a few seconds all was over. Not withstanding the severe cold an immoneo crowd had assem bled to witness the execution' , UST. VOLUNTEER CORPS. • LONDON. Last evening a numerous and enthusiastic meet ing of the enrolled members of the London Rifle Brigade was held on parade at Guildhall. The meeting had, with the concurrence of the lieute nant-colonel elect, been convened by Captain Rose, as senior officer, in compliance with a requisition " to take into consideration the most effectual and proper means of obtaining for the brigade the honour of having as its colonel his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., &c.; Commander-in- Chief." .n• Captain ROSE took the chair, and having briefly opened the proceedings, called upon Mr. HOPKINSON, who upon presenting himself was loudly cheered. He remarked that he con sidered those present had a right to raise the ques tion as to who was the proper person to be colonel of one of the most important corps yet raised, and the fact that an address had already been signed by 800 members clearly showed upon whom their eyes were fixed. (Hear, hear.) He hoped they would be able to secure the services of such a distinguished soldier. (Hear, hear.) He begged 'to move—" That it is the earnest wish of the London Rifle Brigade that its colonelcy should be held by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and that the address to his Royal High ness, now lying in the orderly-room, already signed by an immense majority of the members, shall (after a short delay for the convenience of those memberi who have not yet had an opportunity of signing) be presented in the manner most likely to gratify his Royal Highness and to obtain for the brigade the honour it desires." Mr. A. DODD, in seconding the resolution, ex pressed his belief that a a more fitting selection than the Duke of Cambridge could not have been made, and he only hoped the brigade would suc ceed in obtaining the services of such an illustrious personage. (Hear, bear.) The resolution was then put and carried unani mously. Mr. H. E. VARDON, in a very effective speech, moved the second resolution, as follows :—" That the council of the brigade be immediately requested to nominate for Colonel his Royal Highness George William, Duke of Cambridge, K.G., &e., General Commanding in Chief; that the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor be requested to convene a Court of Lieutenancy to consider that nomination at the earliest possible opportunity, and that her Majesty's commissioners of lieutenancy be respect fully asked to permit the brigade to present its own address to his Royal Highness." Mr. S. J. Cuss seconded the motion, which was also adopted. ROYAL TOWER HAMLETS. Yesterday evening a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of the Tower Hamlets took place at the Beaumont Institution, Beaumont-square, Mile-end, for the purpose of considering the propriety of forming a rifle corps for that district, to be called the Royal Tower Hamlets Rifles. _ _ Mr. C. S. Butler, M.P,, occupied the chair, and said they had met together that evening on neutral ground, and he rejoiced to see that there were pre sent men of all grades of opinion, of every shade of politics, and clergy of every denomination of reli gion, to support a movement that was purely of a defensive nature—(hear, hear)—and furthermore, Field Marshal Lord Combermere, the lord lieute nant, deeply sympathised with them. (Hear, hear.) The volunteer movement was now commenced, and as a performer used to say to them 1 Here we are." Ho thought the committee to be formed ought to consist of representatives from every parish. Mr. G. F. YOUNG, in moving the first resolu tion, said he thought that this country, had been lulled into a state of fancied security that was dangerous to its interests, and, therefore, he hailed with pleasure the enthusiastic burst of feel ing which manifested itself in the proposal to form these corps. (Hear, hear.) He was a great admirer of Shakespeare, and he would there quote what he had written, which was very appropriate to the present case— " It is most meet we arm us against all foes, For peace itself should not so dull a nation, Though war nor no known quarrel be in question, But that defences, musterings, preparations, Should be maintained, assembled, and collected, As though a war were in our expectation." He concluded by moving " That the establishment of rifle corps was calculated to add to the security and defence of the country." Mr. AYRTON, M.P., seconded the motion. The Rev. Mr. ROWSELL strongly advocated the measure as one of peace, and believed that it would not give the slightest offence to our neighbours, while it would deter them from any designs upon us. He remembered, just after the intended invasion by the first Napoleon, the feeling of the people of this country, as expressed in one of their rhymes, and he believed the same feeling prevailed now. It ran thus : " Says Bony to Johnny ' I'm coming to Dover,' Says Johnny to Bony, That's doubted by some. Says Bony. to Johnny, But suppose I come over ?' Says Johnny to Bony, 'Then you'll be overcome 1"' The resolution was then put, and carried unani taously. 2.111 S DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was very moderately supplied with home-grown •heats, coastwise and by land-carriage.
