At the 'Westminster Police Court, this morning, the late wife of the Hon. Hugh Rowley appeared in compliance with a summons granted on the application of Mr. Rowley, calling upon her to answer to a charge of per jury alleged to have been committed by her in the recent case in the Divorce Court, in which she sought and ob tained a decree granting a dissolution of marriage on the ground of cruelty Mr. Motcalfe appeared on bchalf of the lady, and Mt. Sleigh and Mr. Orridge for the lion. Hugh Rowley. Mr. Sleigh having stated tie caFe for the Hon. Mr. Rowley, which was to the effect that his client denied the whole statements of his late wife with respect to the acts of cruelty, said the first of these was, that the lady had sworn that the hon. gentleman had never gfven her a farthing since she was married to him ; the second was, that the Hon. Hugh Rowley had cut his wife's hair off in the same manner as he would shear a she2p ; and the third assign ment of perjury was, that the hog. gentleman had knocked her down in a most brutal manner. The hon. gentleman then called witnesses to prove his statement. [We shall continue the case in our late edition.] LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS .DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) JUDGMENT.-APPEAL.-COOPER V. JOEL. This was an appeal from a decree of the Master of the Rolls ordering a guarantee to be delivered up and cancelled in respect that the guarantee was granted on condition that the sale did not take place, and tie sale afterwards did take place. The Lord Chancellor affirmed lo decree of the Master of the Rolls and dismissed the appeal with costs. JUDGMENT.-APPEAL.-lARTS V. PADEN. This was an appeal from a decree of the Master of the ltolls in favour of the respondent The Lord Chancellor was of opinion that the accumula tion in question was within the exceptions of the Ist and 2d sections of the Act 39 and 40 Geo. 111., cap. 98, which was a provision for payment of ary debts, grants, devises, to either a purchaser or purchasers. His Lordship affirmed the decree of the Master of the Rolls, holding that the tenant for life was only entitled to the interest (in the Globe newspaper), and that this fund, on her death, must be divided among the testators nearest relations who claim, and dismissed tho appeal with costs. JUDGMENT.-APPEAL-AUDSLEY V. HORN. This was a suit for foreclosure of a mortgage on certain houses in Audsley-place, Blackfriars-road. The Master of the Rolls held that Amelia Rochester and hor children only took an interest as tenants fo' life. The Lord Chancellor affirired the decree of the Master of the Rolls, and dismissed the appeal with costs. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) - WILLIAMS V. rkGE.— JUDGYI7tNT. His Honour said—l thinkthat this case is still defective for want of parties. lam satisfied that the error pointsd out originally at the hearing of the cause in January, 1858, is still uncured. I consider ;hat the formation of the com pany was not a bona fide transaction, and that the addition of new shareholders was onl: a colourable compliance with Parliamentary regulations. I dismiss the plaintiff's bill against all the parties, both sew and old shareholders of the company, without costs. This company was attomp.ed to be formed for the purpose of getting the Midland and Eastern Counties Railway to run from Cambridge to Northampton, Worcester, &c., which has failed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—( Tills DA L) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE MERCHANT AND HIS PlT.—William Gilley, 14, Little Drummond-street, was charged with stealing a gold pin, of the value of £3, the property of Mr. Rodolphus De Barry, a merchant, of 8, Southampton-street, Bloomsbury square. The prosecutor, who gave his svidence in a rather sin gular manner, said—Last night, rather late—about one this morning or twelve over-nigh;---I went into a public house near Leicester-square, and 'acing rather good-natured I asked the persons there, poor fillows, to have something to drink, and they did. I went cut, and got a blow in the face and was knocked down. Mr. Bingham—Well, what dil you miss ? Prosecutor—Why didn't you ksk me that before ? Why, I lost my pin. (Laughter.) Mr. Bingham—Was you sober—as sober as a French man ? Prosecutor—Oh, no 1 I was 20t so sobor as that. (Laugh ter.) Mr. Bingham—Did you feel any attempt made at your watch ? Why do you take it out every now and then Prosecutor—Oh, that's for ftia. (Laughter.) Kelly, 319 A, said he was on duty at the top of the Hay market and saw some persons running across Piccadilly, and heard a cry of " Stop thief." The prosecutor gave the prisoner into custody for stealing his pin. Mr. Bingham—What time was this ? Kelly—lt was between eight andnine, though the prose cutor says at two. Mr. Bingham—Was the prosecutor sober ? Kelly—lie was far from sober, your worship. Mr. Bingham—Then the prisoner i 3 discharged. The prosecutor left the court evidently not thinking it was " all for fun" as far as the loss of his ;pin was eel corned. THAMES. This MOrning, on Mr. Yardley taking his seat on the bench, he announced that ho had just received £2O from du) Goldsmiths' Company for the poor-box fund. Directly afterwards the court was filled with poor and destitute women, thinly-clad, applying for relief. Among them were many widows, with families dependent upon them for support. They all put in letters of recommendation from the clergy of the respective places of worship they attend, or from respectable tradesmen known to the officers of the oourt. Mr. Yardley relieved several of the most pressing with ss. each, for which they expressed their gratitude. There is a large amount of poverty in the district, which has been much increased by the severity of the weather. AN ODD C. SD OF PICKING POCKETS.—A largo headed, rough-looking Irish boy, with an immense quantity of red carroty hair, who gave the name of James Bary, and sot up a dismal howl, was charged with stealing a cotton handkerchief. Alex. Mannith, a foreigner, said he kept a shop in the West India-road. He was passing along Ratcliff-highway last night when the prisoner took his handkerchief out of his pocket. He said to the prisoner, "Why, that is only a cotton one ; give it me back, it is of no use, and I don't like to b• without a handkerchief this cold weather." (A laugh.) The prisoner dropped the handkerchief, and wit ness put it into his pocket and walked on. A few seconds afterwards the prisoner again " prigged" his handkerchief, and he said to him again, " Why ;steal cotton handker chiefs ?" and toak it away from him, on which several boys pushed against him, and one of them struok him a violent blow and nearly stunned him. Mr. Yardley--Then your recommendation to steal a silk handkerchief, for your words amounted to that, did not succeed? The prisoner, who whined dreadfully, said, "please your wortohip, I was scratchiug my leg and that ugly foreigner knocked me down and bate me and kicked me." Childs, a constable, No. 193 H, said the prisoner was a notorious young blackguard, the associate of thieves. Mr. Yardloy remanded the prisoner until. Thursday next. IRON FRIGATES FOR HOME DEFENCE. -- The Admiralty have decided upon building two new iron frigates in addition to those now in course of construction by the Thames Iron Shipbuilding Company and Messrs. Napier, of Glasgow. The new frigates are to bo of a similar con struction to those already in progress, but of smaller ditnen along. Contracts for them have just boon taken, ono by Messrs. Palmer, of Jarrow, and the other by Messrs. West wood and Baillio, •f Millwall. It may be as well to state that the two new frigates aro designed exclusively for home defence.—Mechanics' Magazin*. TELEGRAPH FROM LONDON TO CALCUTTA.--It is now possible to send a telegraphic message from any Indian station to any station of the United Kingdom at the rate of £2 175., or 28 Brs., for not more than twenty words, including the address. Until the cable is laid be tween Bombay and Aden the message for that distance will be sent by post. Three months hence this break will be removed, when wo presume the charge will be slightly higher. Still, even 2rs. a word for a message from Calcutta to London is singularly cheap. Tho line of the Rod Sea and India Telegraph Company runs at present only from Alexandria to Aden, for which the charge is 26rs. for a message of twenty words. Meanwhile the messages to and from Alexandria are transmitted by the Electric and International Telegraph Company Via Trieste or Mar seilles. For repeating the message half the usual price is charged in addition. For messages of more than twenty words half the price is charged in addition for every ten words or fraction of twenty words in excess. Mr. Ritchie, the Peninsular and Oriental Company's agent, at Bombay, receives messages for transmission by post to Aden and thence by telegram up to one p.m. on the day of the depar ture of the mail steamer.—Friend of India.

Lamb, Esqs., the Rev. F. E. B. Swann, curate of St. Giles's, was brought Lip on a warrant charged with assaulting his servant between six and seven the same morning; The rev. gentleman, who was in a state of great nervous excitement, admitted that he had given the girl a slap, and that he would do the same again, under the circumstances; if this constituted an as sault in the eyes of the law, then was he guilty. But, with equal propriety, any child punished in school might bring a charge against the master or mistress. The blow was given in consequence of the gross impudence of the servant. Elizabeth Garner then deposed—l was in the kitchen this mo rn i ng , a b ou t seven o'clock. Mr. Swann came in, a n d gave me a v i o l en t s lap in the face. Defendant—Which is abominably false. I gave you a slight one. Complainant—He said it was for - not bringing him any coals into his room. I told him I could not do so, as his room door was locked. He then said I had nothing in my hands when I came to the door, and hit me very hard. Defendant—lt is grossly false. I gave her a slight slap. Complainant—The mark on my nese and the dit.- colouration of the eye are the effects of the blow. My nose bled copiously. Defendant—l did not strike you on that side. I wish the case was done with. A matter of a little slap ! Why can't Ibe fined ? I admit the thing. Complainant—When he struck me he said, "Take that, and go and fetch a summons." Defendant—The thing is most absurd. If there is a fine to be imposed, I wish to pay it, if 1 can. I have nothing more to say. Such an absurd, ridi culous thing as this. She says nothing about her own insolence—the provocation given. But lam not going to have any altercation with a creature like that; it is not worth my while. This is New castle gratitude for what I have done for it. The Ma yor—l ex cee di ng l y regre t t o see y ou i n this position, but it is not the first case of a like nature. Unfortunately, only ten days back I had to issue a warrant against you for an assault r another servant. Th a t case was w ithd rawn . This, however, is plainly proved, and you are fined II and costs ; in default, one month's imprisonment. The fine was paid, and Mr. Swann left the room, saying " I have done with Newcastle now." A RELIC OF TIIE ROYAL CHARTER. —Yesterday a curious relic of this ship was exhibited in the Under writer:' Rooms, Liverpool. It consisted of a piece of i -inch plate iron, into the centre of which had been forced, by what means it is impossible to say, a bar of gold, with a piece of shattered wreck. The sheet iron was completely pierced through, the end of the bar of gold being visible at the back, as was also a piece of wood, into which a sove reign was pressed, the coin apparently having suffered but little injury, the "milling " being only slightly bruised. This singular curiosity was picked up, we believe, by the divers at Moeltra on Tuesday last, and the interest attached to it collected numerous spectators, to whom that piece of cold metal told a sad and fearful tale. APOTHECARIES'-HALL.—At the Court of Exa miners held,on Thursday the following gentlemen were admitted licentiates of the Society of Apothecaries, viz. :-- Messrs. A. L. Andrew, of Manchester; H. F.

(From Bell's Life.) Tom SAYERS AND JOHN C. HEENAN.—Thursday evening last was the time, and Owen Swift's, Horse Shoe, Tich borne-street, the place appointed for depositing a second sum of £5O a side for this all-important match, and it hav ing been intimated that in all prbbability some gentleman would be in attendance on the part of Heenan to ratify the articles, there was considerable excitement at the appointed hour. The backer of Sayers rose and offered to stake his £5O, in accordance with the terms of the original articles, when an American gentleman present stated that ho had only arrived during the present week from New York, with full powers to treat on behalf of Heenan. Ho disputed the right of Sayers to insist on the fight coming off in March, and stated that Heenan would have but a short time for preparation were this agreed to. Tom Sayers, who was also in the room, at once offered to give way ; and after a very short and amicable discussion, it was arranged thak the fight should come off on the 16th of April. This involved an alteration of articles; and, as it was late, it was settled that the friends of both parties should meet at our office on the following day, and draw out a fresh agreement. On Friday morning, therefore, Heenan's representative, and several friends, repaired to our sanctum, where they were met by the Champion in person and his principal backers, and without the slightest dispute or difficulty, the following articles were drawn up . " Articles of agreement entered into this 16th day of December, 1859, between Thomas Sayers and John C. Heenan. The said T. Sayers agrees to fight the said John Heenan for £2OO a side, according to the Rules of the Ring of the Pugilistic Benevolent Association, by which the said T. Sayers and John Heenan hereby mutually agree to be bound. The said fight shall take place on Monday, April 16, 1860, within 100 miles and above 20 miles from London. In pursuance of this agreement £lOO a side are now depo sited in the hands of the Editor of Bell's Life, who shall be final stakeholder. The second deposit shall be made, of £5O a side, at Nat Langham's, Cambrian, Castle-street, Leicester-square, on Wednesday, February 22d, 1860. The last deposit shall be made, of £5O a side, at Owen Swift's, on March 30th. The deposits shall be made be tween the hours of eight and ten, and the party failing in his deposit shall forfeit the whole of the money then staked. The men shall be in the ring between the hours of twelve and one, or the man absent shall forfeit the battle-money. The expenses of the ropes and stakes shall be shared equally by the combatants. The Editor of Bell's Life in London to name the place and the referee. (Signed)' " JOnN GIDEON, for Tom Sayers. " FaED.—, for John C Heenan." This document having been duly signed, all parties shook hands good-hnmouredly and went their several wayf , each side evidently well pleased at the friendly nature of the proceedings; and in this feeling, we have no doubt, Heenan and his Transatlantic friends will cordially join on ,receiving the welcome intelligence that all is at length arranged in a fair, straightfeiward man ner. Heenan, we are informed, may be expected in this couxtry in the month of January. As many questions have been put to us as to the respective heights, ages, and weights of the men, we took an opportunity on Friday of ascertaining the truth on both sides. The gentleman re presenting Heenan tells us that he will be 26 years of ago on May 3, 1860 ; his actual height is 6 ft. 11 in., and his fighting weight about 1801 b., or 12st. 121 b. Tom Sayers is 34 years of age, height 5 ft. 81 in., and weight 10st. 121 b. This information may save us answering many questions. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

A letter from Corfu of the Bth says :—" It having been reported here that H.M.S. frigate Euryalus, then at Athens, with Prince Alfred on board, was to pay us a visit about the beginning of the month, it was at last ascertained he was expected on the sth. Shortly after eight o'clock a.m., it being a beautifully clear and bright day, the signal was hoisted from the signal station of the citadel that the vessel was in sight. At ten, as the frigate approached the Hannibal, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Mundy, she fired a salute, which was immediately returned. When the frigate had anchored, boats in all directions, with different officials, were seen pulling towards her. It was then ascertained that his Royal Highness would land at two o'clock. On his leaving the Euryalus, in the Lord High Commissioner's barge, a royal salute was fired from her Majesty's ships in port, beginning with the flagship Hannibal, followed immediately by the Euryalus, Louden, St. Jean d'Acre, and the Assurance, the yards all manned by their different crews. The sight at this moment was magnificent, added to which the weather was beau tifully clear, and the Albanian mountains, with their caps of snow, for miles along the coast, were seen glittering in the sun. On his Royal Highness landing at St. Nicolo, a royal salute was fired from the battery, and the bells from all the Greek churches rang merrily. His Royal. Hig hness was received by Major-General Sir G. Buller, commanding her Majesty's troops in the lonian Islands, Rear-Admiral Mundy, the Regent and Municipality of Corfu, the Lord High Com missioner's Secretary, the Director-General of Police, the colonels of regiments, and all heads of departments; a guard of honour from her Mtgesty's 14th Regiment with their excellent band playing the national anthem. At this moment the whole of the inhabitants of the town turned out to wel come his Royal Highness's arrival. The cortege then proceeded to the palace amidst the cheering of the whole population, English and natives all joining. A guard of honour from the 2d battalion of the 9th Regiment was in attendance with the Philharmonic Band of the island. On entering the hall of the palace St. Michael and St. George, his Royal Highness was met by the President of the Senate and senators, who accompanied him to the throne-room, where the Lord High Com missioner, Major-General Sir Henry Storks, .the President of the Assembly, the legislators, and judges, with all the other officials, received his Royal Highness, and after the usual introductions they retired, leaving the prince to enjoy the beau tiful scenery around him from the palace. His Royal Highness, accompanied by his Excellency Sir Henry Storks, Major Cowell, Major Peel, and a young midshipman, Lord Jocelyn, took a short drive into the country; and after their return they walked through the town, followed by thousands of people. He dinel with the Lord High Commisioner that evening, when the General, Admiral, and all the officials were present. Most of the houses, English and natives of the town, and public build ings were illuminated. One stack of building, in particular, on the esplanade, belonging to an Eng lishman, with the magazine, well known to every one who may have resided at or visited Corfu, was beautifully illuminated, and worthy of notice ; all the arcades were covered with ever greens, Chinese lanterns, and four large transpa rencies were put in four of the most conspicuous windows of the house, with the following inscrip tions :—Loyal arms, with God save Victoria, our gracious Queen !' Welcome to the Sailor Prince The Philharmonic Band played under the palace until eleven o'clock, and fireworks were let off on the esplanade. The next day his Royal Highness, accompanied by Sir H. Storks and Count Dusmani, visited the Church of St. Spiridone, where most of the ecclesiastics of the Greek Church were ready to receive him. On his leaving the chur ch he pro ceeded to pay a visit to General Sir G. Buller, the crowd following to the citadel gate. His Royal Highness was shown over the fortifications and the citadel by the general. His Royal Highness then joined the admiral and the officers of the garrison, and rode out to the meet, as the officers, with the assistance of their excellent president, got up a gar rison paper hunt, which went off exceedingly well. Yesterday, the 7th, his Royal Highness was not seen, being all day with the Lord High Commis sioner, Admiral, and a large party at Butrinto, on the Albanian coast, viewing all the places of inte rest, returning last evening at six. He dined with Sir G. Buller, where a large party was assembled to meet him. This morning he drove to Paleocastrizza, the back of the island, from whence I am sure his Royal Highness will be much pleased with the view. He dines this evening with his highness the Presi dent of the Senate, and goes afterwards to a ball at the palace, given by the Lord High Commissioner, who has invited, a large party to meet him. To morrow is fixed for his Royal Highness's departure for Malta, and I can only add that it is the univer sal regret his stay has been so short. His Excel lency Sir H. Storks, the Major-General, and Ad miral have done all in their power to make his short stay here as pleasant as possible. On the 10th, the lonian Parliament, which was prorogued on the 10th March last, will be opened in state by the Lord High Commissioner and all the authori ties. With best wishes for the prosperity of the lonian Islands, I conclude with the - mot - to of the Order of St. Michael and St. George—' Auspicium melioris revi.'" THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS. The severe frost, which has now continued three days without intermission, this morning enabled those having the time and inclination to recreate themselves on the various waters and canals in the neighbourhood of the metropolis. A little before 11 a.m. yesterday the glass had fallen to 25 degrees, being seven degrees below freezing point, and, of course, during the previous night it must have been much, lower. Such an intense degree of cold is seldom experienced in this comparatively temperate climate, and of late years our winters have passed almost without making a sign. Last year we had a few 'days' frost during the month of November, since which there has been none till the present time. The evolutions and misfortunes of the sliders and skaters during the day were sources of considerable amusement to the hundreds of persons who lined the shores of the respective waters, and who were not venturesome enough to trust themselves on the ice, which, in spite of the sharp frost, was in any thing but a safe condition, and bent and cracked in a fearful manner under the weight of the persons passing over its surface. The water in St. James's Park was that most freely ventured on during the day, as , since Sir Benjamin Halls improvement, by causing the lake to be payed with a firm concrete, and reducing the water to an uniform depth of be tween three and four feet, no immediate danger was to be apprehended. Two skaters were plunged into a hole up to the neck and shoulders. A peripatetic vender of skates, having perhaps an interest as proprietor of either or both of the immersed gentlemen's skates, and fear ing their loss in the struggle to get out, incau tiously advanced too near, and was himself uncere moniously admitted to the conference, accompanied by his chair, which he had brought with h im. Their endeavours to escape were for a long time futile, the edges of the ice round the hole in which they were not being strong enough to support their weight when they attempted to get out. A rope having been procured, one of the victims was enabled to seize it, and by this means he was pulled out to his own length on the i▪ ce, when it again broke and let him in a second ti▪ me. After this pro cess had been repeated several times they were all three extricated , with n o other i▪ nj▪ ury than lacerated hands and cut knees , and their clothes completely saturated. The Royal Humane Society had not co mpleted the erection of their usual building, and they had to find their way home in the best man ner possible. Several accidents of the sam e na t ure occurred, chiefly to boys, who, their weight being less, were more easily rescued, till the ice was almost deserted. In Hyde Park , on the more dangerous water of the Serpentine, no one ventured, except a few boys round the edges, that place having been the scene of so many unfortunate deaths from going f oc efforts on cork k 4. tooja ck ets oc state tt a teahs r rte l seayonnodfs Roy a lateNnho xie o l tisiowcoueif:t Societyhrat osontpdagenmo, noticesdpeoi na n n Notwithstanding, he h tapoh o l, e w atwhce e ii v tdt e hrs r aitrohr th eli warning dif ferent localities with " dangerous" in large charac ters painted on them, several immersions took place -- four in all although, happily, unattended with fatal results. One of them was a narrow escape. A boy, who had been repeatedly warned by the men, persisted in going on, and when at a distance of some thirty yards from the shore, the depth being eight or ten feet, the ice gave way and precipitated him into the water. He luckily had a large basket with him, which materially assisted him in maintaining his position above water till he was rescued from his perilous situation by one of the Humane Society's men, who skilfully threw him one end of a coil of rope, and hauled him out. If another night's frost continue, as in all proba bility it will, this piece of water will be ill a fine condition for skating and sliding, as it has not been broken like the ice in St. James's Park , and will present a smooth glassy face—the real pride of the true skater. Thus, as far as we can lea rn, no acci dent attended with fatal effects has as yet occurred. >Or 130 le' L'O or Share 1000 Stock Stock Stock' stock 100 Stock Paid. Si it lYff 110 k t 1 1 i
