DIVORCE COURT. Before Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Baron Martin, and Sir C. Cresswell.) PETITION FOR DIVORCE.--AEMITAGE V. ARIUTAGE AND MACDONALD. This was a petition by the husband against the wife for divorce, for adultery. The wife did not appear. The co respondent, Colon:1 Macdonald, by his counsel, pleaded accord and satisfaction by payment of £lOO damages, awarded by the jury in an action of damages tried before the Court of Common Pleas against the co-respondent. Counsel for the petitioner, Mr. Wandsworth and Mr. Pullen, read several affidavits to prove the fact of the mar riage, and the acts of adultery at Inverness, Edinburgh, and London, in Pimlico and Stanhope-street, from 1851 to 1856. Dr. Deane appeared for the co-respondent, and pleaded that he should not be made liable to pay the costs of the action of divorce, because he had already paid the costs of the trial of the action of damages at common law, and it would be very heard to bring him again into court and make him pay double costs. There was no evidence to prove that Colonel Macdonald knew that Mrs. Armitage was a married woman. Mr. Pullen, for the petitioner, replied. The learned counsel contended that there was fair inference to infer, from the evidence produced, that Colonel Macdonald was aware that Mrs. Armitage was a married woman at the time the adultery was committed, and therefore liable to pay expenses of divorce. The petitioner was a retired soli citor, from Bombay, who came to Scotland and married his wife at Inverness, in 1849. Mr. Justice Wightman said the petitioner, on the evidence of adultery produced, was entitled to a decree of divorce. With respect to the liability of the co-respondent to pay costs, ho did not mean to lay down any general rule as to payment of costs by co-respondent, but looking to the particular circumstances of this case, that Colonel Mac donald had already paid damages and costs, and looking to the fact that Mrs. Armitage was seen in company with another man at the theatre, before the cohabitation with the co-respondent, and that she then took the name of Mac donald, baptised her child Macdonald, he did not think that Colonel Macdonald knew that Mrs. Armitage was a married woman, and therefore ho was not liable to pay the costs of this action of divorce. Mr. Baron Martin and Sir C. Cress.well - entirely con curred. The Court decreed the dissolution of the marriage, with out costs against the co-respondent. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Potter and a Jury.) OMNIBUS OPPOSITION AND ACCIDENT.-DAMAGES, £125.- HILCOCK V. PROWNE. Mr. Robinson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ser geant Banautili() for the defendant. The action was brought to recover damages sustained through the reckless conduct of defendant's servant. - Mr. Robinson said this action arose out of a system fraught with much danger to her Majesty's subjects. He alluded to the system of opposition and racing by omnibus proprietors and their servants. Plaintiff was a sufferer by the system, and he now sought at the hands of the jury substantial damages for injuries inflicted. On the 25th of August plaintiff, a wine and spirit merchant in the City, was driving down the Clapham-road, in a gig, and he was met by three omnibuses (one belonging to the defendant) which were racing. One stopped to set down a passenger, one went safely by, but defendant's 'bus, though called to by plaintiff and a friend who was with him, came into such violent collision that plaintiff and his friend were dashed out of the gig, which was completely turned over, Plaintiff was stunned and one of his legs cut opeu. He kept his bed for six weeks, And being a middle-aged man, the injuries would be permanent. The injury to his head in particular was very severe. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine here stopped the learned counsel for plaintiff, and offered terms, to which Mr. Robinson, on behalf of his client, assented. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said his client had always been willing to admit that plaintiff had been a sufferer by the act of his (defendant's) servant, and had, in fact, upon being applied to, offered £100; now ho had consented to a ver dict for £125. He (the learned Sergeant) had been instructed to say that defendant discountenanced all opposition by his servants. The learned Secondary then entered a verdict for plain iff—danages 1125. • CRI3IINAL COUR T.- ( THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and Justice Byles.) John Williams and Robert Frost were indicted for a bur glary, and also with cutting and wounding Eversted, a police officer, while in the execution of his duty. Mr. Cooper conducted the prosecution, and Mr. itibton defended the prisoners. From the statement of the learned counsel, it appeared that the offence for which the prisoners were charged was one of a very serious character, and the police officer was most cruelly ill-treated. The prosecutor was a lady re siding in Devonshire place, Victoria-park, and early on the morning of the 30th of Nov. last was awoke by hearing cries of " murder" and " stop thief," and upon looking into the garden she saw the constable in the act of pur suing two men, who jumped upon the garden wall, and shortly afterwards constable Eversted came to her covered with blood, and produced the decanter stand that had been stolen from a cheffioner on the ground floor. The constable said, while on duty he was passing the house of the prose cutrix, when he saw a light, upon which he went to the back of the premises and saw the prisoner Williams coming down stairs with a lighted candle in his hand. He got in at the back door and seized Williams, who immediately threw the candle down, and then the prisoner Frost came up, but on seeing the policeman he threw away a quantity of plate which he had in his possession, and endeavoured to rush past him. Eversted knocked him down, and both prisoners then made a moat desperate attack upon him, and struck him several times with a "jemmy," which inflicted very severe wounds. He, however, continued to retain his hold for some time, but loss of blood rendered him faint, and eventually both men got away. He pursued them as long as he was able, and during the pursuit Williams dropped the decanter, which was identified by the prosecutriz as her property. The prisoners were not apprehended until the 4th of December, when both men, although differently dressed, were at once identified by Eversted as the men who assaulted him. At the termination of the evidence, which clearly brought home the offences charged, Mr. Ribton addressed the jury for the prisoners, and the learned judge having summed up the evidence, the jury, without hesitation, found both prisoners guilty of the capital offence. A former conviction was then proved against both pri soners. Baron Watson, in passing sentence, highly eulogised the conduct of the police constable, and then ordered sentence of death to be recorded against each prisoner, but the punish ment the prisoners would have to undergo world, be ten years' penal servitude. Mr. Cooper drew the attention of the learned jndge to the power he possessed of rewardi-ig the conduct of the police constable. Baron`Watson said, in rewarding the meritorious conduct of the officer he felt the greatest pleasure, in which he felt assured every person in court participated. He had shown great courage, and had acted with such credit that he should order that a gratuity of £2O bo paid to him. The announcement caused the greatest satisfaction. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE ST. PANCRAS DEFICIENCIES. Thomas Birchmore, lately relieving officer and overseer of the poor of the parish of St. Pancras, surrendered to an indictment, charging him with appropriating certain sums of money received on behalf of that parish to his own pri vate purpOses. There were five indictments against the prisoner. • Mr. Giffard and Mr. Poland appeared for the prosecu tion. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Metcalfe. The learned counsel for the prosecution having stated the charges against the prisoner, called Mr. Griffiths, a scripture reader, who stated in evidence that for some time he had paid to prisoner certain small sums of money, none of which were entered in the prisoner's receipt-book. Mr. Wyatt—l am a director of the board for the relief of the poor of St. Pancras, and a magistrate of the county. The prisoner was the relieving officer and overseer of the parish. The prisoner's appointment was a written one, and part of his duty was to receive money on the part of the parish, and he has told me he has tone so. He paid the money in he collected from week to week, or I should say his receipt book in which he ought to enter all monies received on behalf of, the parish, and then pay them over to the clerk of the direc tors, who transmitted them, with the book, to the audit committee. I never knew him to pay over to the clerk any monies except those entered in the book. He never told me he had done so. On the 15th of Oct., 1858, the audit committee made a report concerning Mr. Birchmore. On the 16th he called at my house and told me that he had received the half-yearly dividend of one of the parish legacies, and had not accounted for it. I told him (not thinking that there were any other deficiencies) he had better tell the audit committee all about it. I said I would summon the audit committee for the next week, when I would give him all the benefit of any statement he made. Some other deficiencies were discovered, and he asked for a few days, when he would state exactly the position he stood in with respect to the moneys he had received on behalf of the parish. His request was granted, and in a week after wards the board re-assembled. On the morning of the day the board was to assemble he called at my house and told me he wished to make a statement ; but I told him I would rather not hear him. He pressed me very much to hear him, and said he was a defaulter to about £lOO, but his securities were good. He asked me if I thought the directors would consent to liquidating it by his receiving half salary. I told him they would not do that, and the least punislunent would be his dismissal. He said he hoped they Ariould not prosecute him, and I replied that personally I !dad no wish to do so, but I could not tell what result the committee might arrive at, but I advised him to appear before the board and state the whole truth. When the prisoner came before the board he made a request tb at he might be allowed to liquidate his deficiencies by receiving only half salary. The proposal was rejected, and he was told the result of the meeting would be reported to the boxed on the fol lowing Tuesday. He said he should make the same pro positions when he appeared before it. He never appeared, and in a few days after instructions were given to the police for his apprehension. Mr. Metcalfe—Were the prisoner's accounts i as relieving officer, correct. Witness—l believe so. Mr. Metcalfe—Then the charges we are Investigating are those committed by him in the capacity cd overseer, not as relieving officer. Witness—l can't say that. He received the monies as a servant of the directors of the poor. Several other witnesses were examined to prove the pay ment of certain small sums of mc7.ley to the prisoner, for which he had not accounted in a woper manner. (The trial was proceeding who?. we went to press.) THIRD COURT. (Before the Comrn.on Sergeant.) Elizabeth Stowe, 18, war, indicted for stealing, and Bridget Woodhouse, 48, for feloniously receiving, a quan tity of articles, the property of Mrs. Collington. The prisoners pleaded not guilty. Tho evidence was of a very slight description, and the Common Sergeant, in his summing up to the jury, said before the prisoners could be found guilty of stealing they would have to decide whether the articles alleged to have been stolen were of such a worthless description as the prisoner Stowe, being a servant to Mrs. Collington, might consider she was doing no wrong in giving away. The jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of not guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TILIS D 417.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF STEALING AN EAR-RING.—SUSPICIOUS CONDUCT or A SHOPKEEPER.—Anne' Snelling, a young girl, servant to Mrs. Cook, of 18, Berwick-street, Soho, was charged with stealing an ear-ring, the property of her mistress. The prosecutrix said that the previous morning, having missed one of her ear-rings from the place where she had deposited it in the parlour, she went,'accompanied by the prisoner, to a shop in Wardour-street, and asked if they had an ear-ring like the one she produced. Sho was told they had not, but that a girl resembling the prisoner had offered one fox sale on the previous day. That induced her to go to the shop of Mr. Borley, 17, Prince's-street, and on asking that person whether he had purchased one of the girl he hesitated, and denied at first having done so, but after about a quarter of an hour produced it, with the stones taken out. • Ms. Borley said he believed the prisoner to be the person Le bought it of. Mr. Leadley, the chief clerk, asked the witness why he hesitated when the prosecutrix spoke to her about it. Mr. Borley denied having done so—he was at his dinner at the time The prosecutrix said he hesitated and seemed to wish to induce the girl to say she had not sold it to him. Prisoner said she was guilty. Jacob Turner, 77 C, said hebelieved the prisoner's friends were respectable though poor. Mr. Beadon (addressing the witness Borley)—More assist ance ought to be given when a person came and asked for anything. A respectable shopkeeper would do so. Inspector Bowles said the stones had been changed and inferior ones substituted. The prosecrutrix said they were not the same stones. _ _ _ Mr. Beadon said he would have no tricks of that sort — the ring was broken up immediately. There could be no difficulty in the case when the companion one was pro duced. The prisoner must be committed for 14 days. Mr. Borley said the stones were of no value. Mr. Beadon said he did not care what the value was—the ring was broken up and the stones taken out. It was any thing but creditable. .ENGLISH PASSENGERS AT FRENCH PORTS. The complete statistics of the passenger traffic with England at the principal continental ports in 1858 have not yet been made public, but the fol lowing figures show the number of passengers at the French ports as compared with the preceding year : 1858. 1857. Decrease. Boulogne Calais . Dieppe Havre. 15,446 .. 17,550 .. 2.214 Dunkirk. 1,878 .. 2,279 .. 401 T0ta1.... 204,725 .. 234,243 .. 29,518 It thus appears that there is a decrease spread over all the ports, amounting to 10 per cent, on the past year's traffic at Boulogne, exceeding 18 per cent. at Dieppe, and amounting to 121 per cent. on the aggregate. Nearly the whole of this falling off occurred in the early part of 1858 during the ex ceptional rigours of the passport system, which were put in force after the attempt of Orsini. As these were little by little relaxed the traffic gradually re covered its former activity, so that there is reason to expect it may once more resume a condition of progressive increase under the facilities recently granted to travellers in France. The Customs' duties paid at Boulogne amounted to £167,563 in 1858, against £195,315 in 1857. At Calais they were £68,069 against £73,241, showing a reduction at both ports easily accounted for by, the diminished activity of trade in general during the greater part of the part year. In 1858 gold was im ported into France to the value of £22,144,000, and silver to that of £6,424,000, making the total importations of the precious metals .L 28,568,000. The exports of gold were £2,660,000, and of silver £7,028,000, making a total of £9,688,000. 1u the nine years from 1849 to 1858 the imports of gold into France were £120,040,000, and the exports £26,200,000. In the same period the imports of silver were £48,600,000, and the exports (exclusive of amounts that may have been privately carried out of the country), £88,160,000. It would thus appear that during the nine years the circulation of gold in France has increased 93,840,000, while the amount of silver in circulation has diminished £59,560,000; and that contemporaneously with the gradual substitution of a gold for a silver currency there has been an increase in the total amount of the currency of £54,280,000. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of English wheat on offer here to-day was only limited. For good and tie qualities of both red and white the demand ruled steady, at full prices ; but inferior samples moved off heavily, at Monday's currency. Fine foreign wheats were held at extreme rates ; but all other kinds were quite neglected. Floating cargoes of grain were inactive. There was a fair demand for barley, at full quotations ; Malt, however, was a dull sale. The oat trade was somewhat inactive. In prices, how ever, no change took place. Beans and peas moved off steadily at very full currencies. There was a moderate business doing in flour at late rates. ARRIVALS TATS WEEK. Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour.

Some of the country journals are endeavouring to explain to their readcrs the phenomena of Wall. street, with very slender success. It is no wonder they fail. Wall -street is a place sui generic —unlike the Stock-Exchange of London and the Bourse of Paris, on both of which full time operations are unknown—and equally unlike every other money mart in the financial world. One requires to have been in it to understand it. It is the greatest gambling hell in the world-..a gambling hell com pared to which Baden sinks into insignificance, and Frascati pales his ineffectual fires ; for the stakes are millions, the gamblers, the merchants, divines, lawyers, doctors, and property-owner s of the United States, and the " croupiers " men of the calibre of Jacob Little. Just now all is pretty q u i e t in that famous place. At present railway stocks are under a cloud. The revulsion on the one hand, and the failure of last year's crops on the other, have reduced railway traffic so low that very few roads are earning their expenses. The Erie is con fessedly insolvent ; the Central has just published a- report which deserves to be bound up with " Baron Munchausen " and " Gulliver's Travels ; " the Reading is on its last legs ; the Illinois Central has been driven to beg for a loan of money to pay the interest on its bonds ; the La Crosse has gone into the hands of bondholders •, other rail roads throughout the North and West are daily awaiting the foreclosure of mortgages. So, on the whole, railroad property is in bad odour at present, and the public take no part in the operations of Wall-street in this class of securities. This, how ever, does not discourage the regular operators of that famour gambling hell. It is estimated that there are 300 persons in or about Wall-street who go by the name of stockbrokers, and who make a living by s e lli ng an d buying stocks—for the public when the public is a speculator, for themselves when no commission business is to be had. These are divided into bulls, or partisans of a rise in stocks, and bears, or advocates of a fall. About half of the whole number occupy seats at the Stock Exchange; the other half are either fallen angels, who have once belonged to the board and have lost their seats by reason of insolvency, or aspiring saints, who want to get into the - board, or decided demons, who know that they can't get into the board and don't try. They are sometimes known as light artillery, and sometimes irreverently as scally wags. All of these, in and out of Paradise, are at the present time trying to make a living by speculating in stocks in the absence of commis sion business. Brokers as they are they require beef and bread, cassimere and beef for themselves, silk and hoops for their wives ; so they buy and sell to that end with an earnestness deserving of reward. On Monday morning 200 of them believe that New York Central is going up, and buy on an average 100 shares a-piece. This purchase of 20,000 shares naturally puts the price up. The moment it rises per cent. the speculators who bought first sell out to make their profit, and the price falls. In, then, come the other hundred, who believe that Central is going down ; they sell 10,000 shares, for delivery thereafter. This, of course, knocks down the price, which so terrifies the bulls (who bought as above, and did not sell out at a profit) that they instantly sell out at a loss, and dine that day on cold beef and pickles. Presently the bears, who sold for delivery, begin to buy. A rumour goes through the street that Erastus Corning and Duncan, Sherman, and Co., have agreed to buy up 25,000 shares; everybody rushes in to buy ; Jacob is buying, Kowlaski is buying, Groesbeck is buying, White house is buying, Stebbing is buying ; the light artillery declare, with tears in their eyes, that Cen tral will go to par in a week ; all the bears, in fear and trembling, cover their contracts at a loss ; and, after a terrible flurry of a day or two, a dead calm succeeds. Jacob offers to sell a couple of thousand shares ; nobody wants them, and the market falls off at least twice as much as it rose. Such, in brief, is the history of Wall-street speculation at the pre sent time. Wi hen " the public" come in the case is different. Then the street combines against the outsiders, and fleeces them to a certainty. But when the brokers are left to prey on each other, the fight is such as is related above, and a hard tight it is. It is said to be difficult to make a living by writing books, or painting pictures, or selling dry goods, or breaking stones ; but the worst of these must be an opulent calling in comparison with that of a stock speculator in January, 1859.—New York Herald.
