THE CHARGE Or MAN LAUGHTER AGAINST A LADY. Louisa Blanch, the wife of a person in a respectable position at the East-end of the town, who had been admitted to bail, and Amelia Prosser, were charged with the manslaughter of Jane Glover. It will be remembered that the prisonors, the latter of whom was servant to the other, wero walking together at Mile End, when the deceased passed them and made some observations which gave offence to the prisOner Blanche, and after some altercation an attack was made upon the deceased by both the prisoners, and she was knocked down and received injuries upon the head from which she died shortly afterwards. The pri soner Blanch was admitted to bail, but she did not sur render in discharge of her recognisauces. The recogni sauces of the prisoner Blanch were then ordered to be estreated, and a warrant was issued far her apprehension. THE CODERICH DIVORCE CASE.—TRIAL FOR PERJURY. Caroline Cottee, a middle-aged woman, surrendered to take her trial on an indictment charging her with having committed wilful and corrupt perjury in the Divorce Court. The present proceedings were now brought with the view of showing by the evidence of Mr. Godericli and Mrs. Taylor that the statements of Cottee in the Divorce Court were an entire fabrication. The case is still proceeding. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. THAMES. DRUNKEN CAB DRIVERS. —William Elderfield, aged 32 years, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with being drunk during his employment as a cab driver. Thomas Goater, police-constable No. 31 11, said the pri soner was driving a horse and cab, or rather the horse was proceeding along the L T igh-street, Whitechapel, by in stinct, and was not driven at all, for the prisoner, who wore the badge No. 11,322, was lying on the box dead drunk, and quite unconscious of what he was doing and whether he was running over any one or not. He took the prisoner into custody and the horse and cab to the green yard. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he had some drink given him in the City, and that his horse was sober, and took care of him and his cab. Mr. Benson —I ou might have run over some one. Nothing is more dangerous than for cabmen to get drunk while driving. It has been the cause of many of those deplorable occurrences in the public streets. You are fined 20s„ and in default of payment 14 days' im prisonment. Edward Ward, another cab driver, was chargod with a similar offence, and he pleaded that he had been afflicted with a fever, and that a little drink soon got over him. Mr. Benson —You had a good deal of drink, and was quite unable to manage your horse and cab, and it ap pears that you wero committed to prison by Mr. Vaughan at the Bow-street Police-court for 14 days. That was only a month ago, and here you are again for a similar offence. You will again go to prison for 14 days. The prisoner—lt was the fever did it —pray don't send me to prison. _ Mr. Benson— I should be paying no respect to Mr. Vaughan's decision, if I did not send you to 14 days' im prisonment and hard labour. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO FARMERS.—CharIes Smith, described as a butcher, of Lismore-circus, Haverstock-hill, and formerly of No. 22, Oxford-market, charged with stealing from Mr. James Lloyd, of No. 3, Portman-market, eggs, butter, and a quantity of goods by means of a false cheque, was again brought up. Mr. Harper, from the office of Mr. Froggatt, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Francis Morris, of Leicester square, for the defence. _ _ _ _ . Mr. Harper said ho hell in his hand letters from several persons who had been duped by the prisoner, but as they lived a long way off they did not wish to undergo any further loss, and declined to attend to prosecute. The prisoner had for years been in the habit of obtaining goods from farmers in different parts of the country, and paying for them with cheques which were not paid, and the goods were sent from his place in Oxford-market as soon as re ceived by the prisoner. The prisoner reserve(' his defence, and was committed for trial. Mr. Morris asked that the case might be sent to the Central Criminal Court, but Mr. Harper objected. Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho saw no reason why the case should not be tried at the sessions, without the prisoner had a fear of seeing Sir Wm. Bodkin. (Laughter.) Mr. Morris said ho did not think that was the case. The case was then ordered to be sent to the sessions. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EMING, MARCH 3, 1F69. JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESrONDENT.) PARIS. TUESDAY, March 2. Lamartine and the late President of the Senate, says sn Imperial decree, are to be interred 'at the expense of the State. It is strange that such men as the poet and historian should be taken care of only after they are dead. They are allowed to pine in a garret during life, but they become heroes directly the grave opens for them. The death of the central figure of the Revolution of 1813 has produced as much regret as anything of the kind does in Paris. It can hardly be said that the nation has sus tained a great loss, for, as M. de Girardin observes, Lamar tine has only "ceased to survive himself," but everybody is of one mind as to the place he will occupy in history. His life and character have had an enormous influence on the destiny of his country. But for him indeed the last revolution would have been little different from the first. The Journal des Dads, in an eloquent article, mentions two facts, which are creditable both to the Emperor and' the deceased poet. The Emperor, aware of M. Lamartine's impoverished condition, offered him the Presidency of the Senate, now vacant by M. Troplong's death. The emoluments of the office, although far from inconside= rable, would have been doubled, in order that he might rid himself of his embarrassments. But he declined the appointment, and then an uncondi tional offer was made to free him from his debts. This he also declined. His self-denial was honourable in each case, and the dignity of his declining years will add not a little to his lasting fame. Whilst M. Troplong was living I forbore to mention the speculations as to his successor. M. Laroche is most spoken of, and, I should think, is a very probable selection. 11f. Emile 011ivier's book, " Le 19 Janiver," is, pending► the cessation of the Haussmann debate, one of the prin cipal topics of talk. It is an apology, a narrative, or a review of the deputy's own doings, and is a generally egotistical production. Lovers cf plain mathematical problems will find an interesting task in counting the number of times the pronoun " I" occurs in this volume. It must be excessive. The Duke and Duchess d'Aumale, says the Liberte, are about to leave England. They purpose taking up their residence in Sicily, where they have a very large property. A curious story, aprorcs of the late riots, comes from the island of Rtunioh. A journal entitled the Cri d'Alarme, devoted to exciting the colonists, had given much trouble to the authorities who were unable to suppress it. They could seize the copies, but could not stop the issue, for all their efforts to discover the printing-office failed. At length the police got exceptional lowers to search the house of a young mulatto lawyer, whence it was suspected the paper issued. The house was searched, but nothing found. At last the cellar was dug up, and then, and deeply buried beneath the surface, were found a printing press, and a large quantity of type. The mulatto protested his inno cence, declaring that the printing material had been there since the time of the English occupation ; but, unfortu nately for this theory, a little further search disclosed a form containing the type of the last obnoxious issue. Nantes is a prey to a horde of Thugs. These miscreants practise a form of garotting by sending a woman to accost travellers in secluded streets, and whilst the passenger is vainly endeavouring to get away from this decoy, two or three men fall upon him and pass a noose round his neck. In that position he is helpless; he cannot struggle without running the risk of being strangled. He is then plundered. One of this troop has been arrested, but this check has in no way intimidated the rest. St. Nicholas is one of the greatest of saints. The popular tradition is that young ladies wh ose p rogress on the difficult and narrow way that leadeth to matrimony is not reassuring may be materially aided by the good offices of this benign saint. his virtue in this direction has been put to a most triumphant test during the last few days. A young brunette in one of the communes of Mane treuil—a charming girl, with sparkling eyes antt tainoTseitilonaj—liad found that the beau who was toguidd her future career was tardy in mal;ing his appearance.. Hearing of the St. Nicholas tradition, she procured a very decent statue of the lover-making saint, and set it up in her chamber. But the graven image did not prove effi cacious ; she invoked it daily, hut the desired suitor, who was to be the chrysalis of a husband, did not come. One gloomy day the saint fell into complete disfavour, and in a fit of rage the brunette threw the plaster cast out of the window. Raymond, a sprightly youth of 20, was passing by, and was just in the nick of time to receive the disgraced saint upon his bead. The weight was not great, and the head of Raymond was thick, but still he was rendered uncomfortable by the visitation. He took the number of the house, and soon the luckless brunette was summoned before a justice of the peace. But when Raymond beheld the defendant, ho very speedil3 reflected that it would be decidedly ungallant to exact reparation from the lady ; he therefore withdrew his plaint, and the two returned to the village together. What conversation they had on the route nobody knows, but it is certain this one interview was not the last. Four weeks afterwards Genevieve and Raymond were one, the former henceforth a firm believer in the virtues of St. Nicholas. THE WEATHER TABLE.-TIIIS DAY. METEOROLOGICAL RETORTS.

Sea disturbance. REMA MKS., The rapid increase in pressure noticed in the north yesterday after. noon has become very remarkable, and extended to all stations except Toulon. At Leith the rise has been greatest, and amounts to 1 . 151 n. since yesterday morning. Pressure is, however, still highest in th S.W., and the reading at Yarmouth is 010 in. lower than that at Brest. Temperature has decreased generally, and is low in the N.B. The gales of yesterday, after veering to the N. and N.E., have sub sided during the night. This morning N.W. winds are reported everywhere, except in the west—moderate in these islands, but strong to France. In Ireland the wind has backed, but is light. Bain has been general, with snow and hail in the N.E. and E., thunder and nghtning at Roches Point. The sky this morning is clear in the K.E., but it is again raining in the W. The sea is not high. Weathers s not at all settled yet. Warnings renewed to-day.

IMPERIAL PAULA M ENT HOUSE OF CONDIONS.—Tits DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o clock. The Bayswater Market and Baths Bill was withdrawn. On the motion for the second reading of th. 3 Metropoli tan Street Tramways Bill, Mr. PEASE moved that the bill be read a second time this day six months. Ile did not think that the laying down of street tramways would be a benefit to the work ing classes, and lie stated that 11 i offered opposition to the bill entirely upon public grounds. Trials of the tram ways had been made in Victoria-street, the Bayswater road, and Westminster Bridge-road, and they were proved to be unsuited to the traffic of London. IThe motion was seconded by Mr. LOCKE. Captain IL GROSVENOR said that that public nuisance George Francis Train—(laughter) —had rendered public tramways in Lendon obnoxious, because he had laid down tramways in such a manner that they did considerable damage to veLiclos that ha.] to pass over thorn. The plan now proposed wou!d not offer any obstruction to vehicles passing over the rails. Mr. LOCKE said the rails would monopolise a large portion of the road, and . 72 some parts of the narrow street§ it would bo found that these trams would be a great im pediment to the trunk. Mr. LAIRD said in Birkenhead there wss no complaint of damage being done to carriages passing over the rails and along the Liverpool docks a train hid been found of considerable importance, and ha I not been the cause of ani inconvenience. After some further remarks a division took place, when lere were— For the second reading Against Majority --131 THE EASTER ADJOURNMENT Mr. AYRTO.N gave notice that at the rising of the House on the 23d instant, the First Lord of the Trea sury would move that the House do adjourn until the Ist of April. THE SUNDAY TRADING BILL. Mr. T. HUGHES moved the second reading of this bill. and, in doing so, said the bill was similar, with the excep tion of very minor details, to that of last year. He knew that the Government were of opinion that it was time to legislate upon the subject, and he proposed that it should be referred to a select committee. Mr P. TAYLOR moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Dr. BRADY seconded the amendment. Mr. AYRTON expressed a hope that the house would agree to the bill being read a second time. Mr. P. TAYLOR withdrew his amendment, and the bill was read a second time. Mr. FAWCETT moved the second reading of the Elec tioa Expenses Bill, and explained its objects, Mr. BAINES seconded the motion, and said he was anxious to see working men in the house, but it was im possible that could be dene unless the expenses of a con tested election were reduced. Col. BARTTELOT strongly objected to the bill. Mr. P. H. 11 UNTZ supported the bill. Colonel GILPIN did not believe the working classes would be benefited in the slightest degree by the passing of this act. Mr. J. WALTER, while believing that the bill would not make more easy the return of working men to the house, did not think that the exp(.use laid upon the rates for the legal expenses of elections would break the back of that most enduring animal—the British ratepayer. Mr. FLA YER moved that the bill be nat a second time that day six mouths. 317. W. WILLIAMS also epp)sed the Mr. AYRTON thought the Louse might with proprit ty allow the house to pass this stage, so that it might be re ferred with any other to the committee. The bill was then real a seeo,d li me. On the motion of Coloncl Fi:ENCII, a select coamiLlt e was appointed to inquire into the management and cost of the litna:ic asylums in Ireland. Mr. BAZLEY obtained have to bring in a b:11 to amend the Lands' Clauses ConsolidAtion Act, so fat as relates to the settlement of the costs of arbitration. Mr. S. CAVE obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to lite assurance companies. The house then adjourned at half- past five o'clock. In emsequenee of the abolition of the office of the Storekeeper-General of the Navy as a separate department, the Secretary of the Admiralty directs that tenders for articles, formerly sent to that de partment at Sowers A-house, be in future addressed to the Controller of the Navy, Admiralty, White hall. THE BERMONDSEY MUTILATION CASE.—(This Day.)—Ellen Cook, the woman who was charged a Southwark Police-court on Monday last with mutilating her husband, was taken to the hospital this morning, in order tha the man's depositions might Le taken in her presence. The meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society held yesterday, was, es usual, extremely rich in orchids ; the Duke of Edinburgh rose was certainly the gem of the meeting, while, on a smaller scald, a group of different species of primula, and a collection of spring flowers at tracted much interest. Mr. CHARLES DICKENS.—The banquet to be given to Mr. Dickens at Liverpool on the occasion of his final readings in that town has been fixed for the 10th of April next. It will be given iu St. George's Hall, and the Mayor of Liverpool (Mr. A. Dover) will preside. Mr. Clarke Aspinall, solicitor (borough coroner) is honorary secretary to the banquet committee. PIRACY.—TRIESTE, Feb. 24.---Two small Greek vessels, bound from Paxos to Corfu, with marble and In dian corn, were fallen in with during the night of the 12th of February, four miles off Murto, by two vessels, each manned by six men, who towed the Greek vessels into a neighbouring creek, and plundered the crews and passen gers of all their money and then left them. ACCIDENT TO LORD LEIGH.—Lord Leigh, the Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire, met with an accident on Friday while out with the North Warwickshire hounds, and sustained a slight concussion of the brain. On Satur day morning his lordship was much better, and, though advised to keep his room for a short time, there is reason to believe he will be perfectly restored to health in a few days. The Springfield Republican says :—Alvin Adams, the ex-express man of Boston, has just paid Bierstadt in Paris $20,000 in gold for one of his latest and largest paintings. A member of Congress has indiscreetly pub. :shod a letter from General Hale, Minister to Madrid, showing, in very forcible language, the terms upon which he stands with the Secretary of Legation, Mr. Bliss. Those named Bliss, suggestive of unutterable happiness, have at least in two legations of the United:States caused unutterable woe. In fact, so pugnacious is the family that they seem to find their greatest bliss in fighting. We are unable to form any opinion as yet upon the conduct of Mr. Bliss of Mr. Washburn's Legation, nor would it be right to form an opinion of Mr. Bliss of Gen. Hale's Legation, as the story of the life he led his chief comes from that chief, and was not intended, perhaps, for the public eye. General Hale's life in Madrid has been a series of indigni ties and outrages inflicted on him by his secretary, backed by Seward, whose "duplicity, brutality, and baseness" have been most marked. Nor is that all - the Secretary of State is a confederate of Bliss, and has sacrificed his country for interests in Spanish contracts. As a specimen of Mr. Bliss' manners, this icstance is given. Dr. Mackerlain called on Mrs. and Miss Hale, in whose drawing room and presence he met the pugnacious Mr. Bliss. The encoun ter of these deadly foes was not restrained ei en by the presence of the ladies, and the combat or ly ended by the entrance on the scene of the selva its of e th re e a te r g e a s ti h o e n. seet u a t tpougbenamciocriilusdaosd i hands of a woman.
