COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lords Justices.) NINE CAUSES-LODGE V. PRICHARD, AND OTREE CAUSES. These were administration suits under the will of the late Adam Lodge, Esq., rope maker, Liverpool, who died in 1837. The testator by his will devised all his real estate in Carmarthenshire and Liverpool to his first and second ions, subject to payment of certain mortgages, and be queathed his personal estate and business to trustees for payment of his debts. His personal estate was found not sufficient to pay his debts, and several questions were raised between his sons, widow, and trustees, whether his real estate was liable to pay his debts. Lord Justice Knight Bruce, and Lord Justice Turner, after referring very minutely to the claims of the several parties in these respec tive suits, and objections urgel by them against being en cumbered with the payment of the testator's debts, came to the conclusion that the testator's real estate was primarilly liable for payment of his debts, and that his personal estate was secondarily liable, and declared accord ingly. Their lordships directed the executors to take an account of the debts, assets, and interest of the testator, and suggested that the real property might be sold first to pay off the mortgages and debts. Their lordships discharged the order of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart, and substituted one order to that effect in all these causes. Costs of the appeal to b• costs in the cause. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Reniilly.) STURGIS V. MOORS.-JUDGMENT. The contention in this suit was whether the plaintiff, as official assignee of the bankrupt, became entitled to one fourth, or one-twelfth part of an estate tail to which the bankrupt succeeded after his bankruptcy in 1820. His Honour the Master of the Rolls was of opinion that under the Bankrupt Act, 1814, an estate tail would have ♦ested in the assignees, but in the Bankrupt Act of lst George IV. that Act was repealed, and the words " tail estate" was omitted, and therefore the estate tail succeeded to by the bankrupt did not vest in the official assignee under the bankruptcy. His Honour said he would make a declaration in favour of Mr. Prichard, to whom the bankrupt had made an assigna tion of his interest in the estate tail before his death. His Honour allowed costs of the motion, and will mention the case on minutes on Monday. BANKRUPTCY COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroya.) ROYAL BRITISH BANK-FURTHER DIVIDEND. Mr. Commissioner Holroyd was the only commissioner, and the only case was an audit meeting in the matter of the Royal British Bank. It was announced a short time since that a further dividend of 6d. in the £1 would be paid, making, in all, 15s. in the £1 to those who have proved their debts. This being merely an audit meeting, and no notice having been given of any new proofs, the proceed ings were pro fora. The dividend will be paid on the 4th and sth April next, at the Rotunda, in the Bank of England. SHERIFFS' COURT. THE WIDOW AND HER ADORER-SINGULAR ACTION FOR AN INDECENT ASSAULT.-GODFRET V. HARVEY. This was an action to recover damages for an assault alleged to have been committed under very novel and pe culiar circumstances. Plaintiff is a widow, having the care of a set of chambers, and defendant is a " gentleman." One of the parties in the chambers is a person named Lang dale, and plaintiff said she had his orders to give defendant his key whenever Mr. Harvey asked for it. One afternoon plaintiff had a young friend stopping with her for the day, and defendant coming in asked for Mr. Langdale's key. He further requested that some beer should be fetched. Plaintiff's friend went for the beer, but upon her return with it expressed a disinclination to take it into the room of a stranger. Upon this plaintiff said she would take it in herself. Accordingly she went into the room and placid the beer upon a table ; turning to go, " Oh," said Mr. Harvey, " You're not going like that." " Indeed I am," replied plaintiff; " I am going to a place of amusement to-night." (Laughter.) "If that is so," returned Mr. Harvey, " I will be your beau." " Not if I know it," retorted the lady. " I love you," said Mr. Harvey. Whereupon Mrs. God frey said, " Sir, I suppose you know I am a widow." Mr. Harvey then declared that he had fallen in love with her the first time he came to the chambers. (During the whole of this story the court rang with laughter.) His Honour—l am not trying a case of breach of pro mise rf marriage. What is the assault ? Plaintiff—He then seized me and behaved very rudely. He endeavoured to expose himself to me. His Honour—Then you ought to have indicted him. Plaintiff—l was unable to do my duties for several days. His Honour—Did you call in a surgeon? Plaintiff—No. Defendant was very rude. lie pushed himself so strongly against my windpipe that I was nearly choked, and could not call out ; he pinched my arms so that they were painful for several days afterwards. His Honour—And you did not call in a surgeon ? Plaintiff—No. Evidence was then given that the defendant still, occa sionally, visited Mr. Langdale, and his Honour said he would give plaintiff what, perhaps, she might have obtained from a jury—damages, 40s. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE Or EMBEZZLEMENT. Henry Webb, a middle-aged man, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with feloniously embezzling two sums of money, one of £4O the other of £27, he had received for and on account of Thomas Dugard. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended the prisoner. The prosecutor said he was a merchant residing in Pen tonville-road, and was in the practice of shipping goods for Australia. He was also largely engaged in the bone cut ting and tallow melting trades, and had factories in Cum berland-street, Shoreditch, and New-street, Whitechapel. The prisoner was in his service at a salary of £2 per week, and his duty was to obtain orders, receive money of cus tomers, and to account f or th e same daily, or two or th ree times per week. He co m pl a i ned that, a few days s i nce , the prisoner received £37 of a Mr. Stevens, and had only accounted for £lO of it, and that he had also received £4O of a Mr. Knight, with whom he (Mr. Dugard) did business, and had not accounted for any part of it. The witness then detailed the transactions with Mr. Stevens and Mr. Knight, the various excuses made by the prisoner, and numerous interviews with him. The prisoner informed him that Mr. Knight disputed the transaction and the quality of the goods supplied, and would not pay for them. The prisoner, however, had previously received the money. Mr. Young subjected the prosecutor to a long cross examination. Mr. Dugard said he first saw the prisoner owing to an advertisement asking for an advance of money to maintain a business. At the first interview with the prisoner it was agreed that he (Mr. Dugard) was to ad vance money and the prisoner labour, and they were to share the profits between them. At Christmas last he and the prisoner balanced accounts, and he found the prisoner had overdrawn very considerably, and he told him that he would have nothing further to do with the partnership, and that be would allow the prisoner a salary in future. He took a bill of sale on the prisoner's goods. It was an ab solute bill of sale for money owing to him by the prisoner, who became insolvent. Mr. Yardley—Was any deed of partnership ever drawn up betweon you and the prisoner ? I THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Sewn o'clock. _ . Mr. Dugard—None at all, sir ; it was a verbal agreement. When I discontinued the partnership I agreed to allow the prisoner £2 per week to act as my foreman, and to give him more at my option ►hen the business increased. In further cross-examination by Mr. Young, the prose cutor said that when he last asked for the money which he had ascertained had been paid by Mr. Knight and Mr. Stevens, the prisoner said, "No, I will keep this. lam tired of things as they are." He understood by that that the prisoner meant that he was tired of receiving a salary. The balance of accounts between them had never been against witness, but always in his favour. Mr. Yardley said if the prisoner had acted exelusively as the prosecutor's servant, and had received the two sums and kept them, it would amount to embezzlement. The prisoner was remanded on bail until Monday next. 7111 S DAYS MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

BENGAL MILITARY FUND. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH moved for returns relative to the Bengal Military Fund. MILITIA ARTILLERY. The Earl of SHAFTESBUR Y begged to ask a question of the noble earl the Under-Secretary for War, the nature of which he had given him notice. A very general rumour prevailed that the whole of the militia artillery was to be dis embodied, and he begged to ask if such a rumour was cor rect ? The Earl of RIPON said the rumour was certainly not true to the extent the noble earl had stated. It was intended to disembody four of the regiments, but it was not intended to carry out the disembodiment his year. It was, how ever, intended to carry the disembodiment on so that, by the time the act expired next year, the whole would be dis charged. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH asked whether it was intended to reduce the strength of the Royal Artillery. He had heard such was the intention of the Government, and he thought such a step was very unwise at the present mo ment. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said there was no truth in the report of a reduction of the strength of the Royal Ar- tillery. The Earl of MALMESBURY did not quite under stand the noble lord the Under - Secretary for War. lie did not think the Government would exercise very great prudence if they thought they could rely on the volunteers. However much he valued their patriotic spirit, he did not think they could be compared for efficiency with either the line or the militia. Earl GREY said it would be a great mistake to reduce the strength of the Royal Artillery. The Earl of RIPON said that in the course of next year the act under which the militia were embodied would ex pire, and the Government did not think it would be expe dient to renew it. The subject then dropped. NICE AND SAVOY. The Marquis of NORMANDY said. ho intended that evening to have given notice of a resolution on this sub ject ; but in consequence of the declaration of a noble lord of the danger of such discussions, he shouldfor the present abstain from carrying out his intention • but on another occasion ho should most certainly do so, believing that the view of the question be entertained was The correct one. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said Inc did not intend to enter into a discussion of the resolution the noble marquis had given notice some day or other to move. lie rose for the purpose of complaining of a personal imputation on his noble friend the Lord President of the Council, whom the noble marquis sai d had returned an evasive answer to a question respectfully put to him on the affairs of Savoy. The Marquis of NORMANBY said Ito did not intend to make any personal imputation on the noble earl. PRIVATE BUSINESk;.

JAMES asked the Attorney- Gieneral whether executors and other persons interested in '.obtaining grants of probate and administration can at pre: sent obtain them in the principal registry of the Court of .Probate by per sonal application, as they are able to do i a the several dis trict registries; and, if not, what impedim ie nt exists to their ability to make such personal application N ri.thout the inter vention of professional assistance ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said 1 that the want of accommodatiox to the public in regard Ito obtaining the grants in question had been the subject o f frequent com plaint on the part of the head registrar oft b e Probate Court, but he understood that the grievance con it dained of would be remedied. TOLL GATES. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Seel vtary of State for the Home Department whether it was tb a intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce an y measure during the present session on the subject of toll gates in the neigh bourhood of the metropolis, in consequer eof the report of the Royal Commission thereon? Mr. CLIVE was understood to say t' at it was not in tended by Government to introduce any bill on the subject this session. THE GREAT TASMAT Colonel HERBERT asked the Seen A ary of State for India whether his attention had been dra ivrn to a very pain ful account of the state of the soldiers, r discharged sol diers, on board the hired transport Thee Great Tasmania, lately arrived from India ? Sir C. WOOD said that every attentio - a had been paid to the sufferers in question, and the subj was now being inquired into. THE BALLOT. Mr. BERKELEY rose, on the op p asition benches, and amid much laughter, to move fo r leave to bring in a bill to cause the votes of the e' lectors of Great Rritain and Ireland to be taken by • way of ballot. The hon. member said that he had frequ r atly brought be fore the house the same motion, and in rain ; and he be• lieved that on the present occasion the r emit would be the same. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) H e had endeavoured to discharge his duty previously in rega rd to this question, but he never rose to address the ho use in regard to it when he believed the discussion if the ballot was more essential, in consequence d the bill brought forward by the noble lord the Foreign Secretary. Having alluded to recent elections to show the increase of bribery and consequent corruption amongst th le electors, he con tended that the arguments in fav , air of the ballot had never been refuted. Lon I John Russell, Sir James Graham, Mr. Walpole, .Sir 'George Grey, Mr. Sotheron Estcourt, and other disti nl ;wished and able debaters had argued against the adopti on of the ballot. He had gone through " Hansard's Debt de s," and read the speeches of those statesmen, and he (Ike.] ,ared, on his con science—(hear, hear, and laughter) —that they did not contain a single solid argument :against the ballot. He arose from the perusal of these ape ee hes with the pain ful conviction that they were disinge mous, and that they did not really embody their sincere op inions on the subject. He regarded them in the same light as he did that able lawyer Sir F. Kelly, who, when defen 'ding a client accused of poisoning a woman by prussic ac id 1 , , contended that the woman was poisoned in consequen c e of the number of apples she had eaten, which genies ratedrated the poison in question. In all the arguments on Ch e part of his oppo nents, special pleading was apparent; and it should be borne in mind that these o pp onen t s: were remar k a bl e f or their ability as debaters, and dexterii y in availing them selves of any mistake or weakness of argument on the part of hon. members, so that when they ha d failed to make out s case against the ballot, it might b. justly inferred no such case could be established. He had frequently an swered the objections urged against theloallot, and there was no novelty in the nature of the objection s advanced. What was the most common exception ? V flay, that the ballot was un-English. But was it not a fact that, with the ex ception of Parliamentary and municipal elections, the ballot was the mode resorted to in selecting persons to fill popular offices. He complained al!so that he had been subjected to gross misrepresentation, and de nied that he wished to introduce the American syst em of voting at Parliamentary elections.. The only f orm o f voting byballot which he tnought applicable to England was that which prevailed in Australia. He maintained that the want of the ballot in this country not only led to corruption of electors, but ey prevented w ewere thousands t9nantenants o f f r owmealrtehgiystering landlords or voting, because if they could not act i n opposition to the wishes of these landlords, and if they were small tradesmen ruin would re sult from their to exercise of the franchise. (Hear, hear, and No, no.) The hon. member cited the au thority of the late Lord Macaulay, to show the evils of nomination boroughs and the benefits that would accrue from the adoption of the ballot. He next referred to the opera tion of the ballot iu Australia, where it was stated that it had effected a most beneficial and bloodless revolution. (Hear, hear t ) The bon, member then proceeded to ridicule the argu.ments used to establish the proposition that, though the ballot might have been successful in Australia, it was unsuited to this country.

FOR THE TOWN OF VICTORIA. — Saturday merlin'. cf, at an early hour, the vicinity of the police court and ti le sheriff's office, where the polling booths had been placed, was already alive with anxious voters, eager for the ex pected struggle.

The people of Central Ital y are receiving the r e • ward of their constancy, mo deration, and public spirit. Victor Emmanuel, in accepting the allegiance of the inhabitants of Parma, Modena, and the Romagna, and declaring that he will be proud to c all them "my people," admits them to particips tion in the ordered and stable liberty of a constitts , tional State, and pledges his power for their pro tection. The admission of Tuscany to the same privileges will not long be delayed, and Italian independence will then be placed on a firmer basis than its best friends lately dared hope. The astonishing unanimity of the people of Central Italy which the late elections have de veloped is a great historical fact, and must satisfy even those Courts which from their history and traditions are least disposed to recognise .a popu lar vote as a source of legal right, that to respect the desires of the population of Tuscany and the .Emilian Provinces for annexation to Pied mont is the way to secure the truest, safest, and most permanent solution of the difficulties which have so long distracted Italy and troubled her neigh bours. Circumstances are conceivable - in which ter rorism or intrigue might secure a large relative majority at the electoral urn ; but no power could have compelled the vast body' of a population of four millions to vote against its will and to vote on one side. The Governments of Central Italy have no power but that which they derive from the people, yet at their call the male citizens have come forward as one, man to vote for King Victor Emmanuel. To please the Emperor of the French universal suffrage was appealed to, when in Romagna, Modena, and Parma, 427,000 out of 526,000 inscribed electors gave their votes, and of these 426,000 voted for annexation to Sar dinia and 726 for a separate kingdom. In Tuscany, where 386,000 persons were inscribed as electors, 326,000 voted for annexation, and only 14,000 for a separate kingdom. Even the Court of Vienna appears to have been impressed with this great demonstration, for upon receiving an official intima tion that the troops of France were about to be withdrawn from Lombardy, joined with the ex pression of a hope that Austria would continue to abstain from intervening beyond her frontier. Count Rechberg has formally replied that his Government has no inclination to re-commence a war which he adds, would soon become European. Neither can Cardinal Antonelli help bearing his tri bute to the power of the impulse which has carried the people of Italy over to Victor Em. manuel. This Prince of the Church, in his newest despatch to M. Thouvenel, accuses France of frightening the Astrians out of the Roman States, and declares that all the mischief has been done in Romagna by a small party, aided by "the malcon tents, a class of persons to be found in all countries." But even if the recent vote had not arithmetically demonstrated that the malcontents are at least 80 per cent. of the adult male population, and left it morally certain that they bear a much larger pro portion to the indifferent and the loyal, we have the corroborative evidence of a Minister of the Pope who, as we lately saw, when asked by the Austrians to give the names of the disaffected per sons in Ro magna, replied Met the people were " all disaf fected." Cardinal Antonelli is not so foolish as to repeat the absurd stories which are palmed upon ig norant audiences in Ireland about the contentment of the Pope's subjects with their Government. He lays down flatly the proposition that the Government is good because it is from heaven, whatever wretched taxpayers may thing about it, and thence argues that reforms and concessions are, as far as the Pope is concerned, matters of paternal grace and indulgence. The first grand aim of a Catholic Government should be the maintenance of the patrimony of the Church in all its integrity. " The past," he says, " offers several reminiscences which may prepare the way to this great object." It certainly does. Cardinal Antonelli takes care not to leave us in doubt as to his meaning. He de month; "ciii eaciou s succours"—in other words, foreign occupation. That perennial curse of Italy, which the wise3t and best men of all countries have de plored, which Europe condemned at Paris in 1856, and which diplomacy is at last hoping to bring to an end, the Cardinal desires to inflict on the people among whom he had his birth, but for whom he has no feelings of fraternity. To say that the foreign occupation alone can uphold the temporal power of the Pope is not only to confirm the votes of the people, but to justify them. The Romagnols are now rejoicing, because they are henceforward to live under the protection of law and in the enjoyment of liberty. Is their joy heightened or moderated as they remember the lot from which they had been delivered ? During seven years of Austrian occu pation there were 190 capital executions at Bologna, and the more people were shot the more crime in creased and the security of life and property was diminished. On the morning of March 17, 1853, Domenico Malagutti, a young surgeon of Fer rara ; Giacomo Surri, a private gentleman ; and Luigi Parmeggiani, an innkeeper of the same town, charged with attempting to overthrow the temporal soldiers of the Pope, were led out by Austrian soldiers, blindfolded, forced upon their knees, and shot. These unfortunate persons, and nine others were incarcerated in the citadel of Ferrara for seven or eight months. The examin ing judge was an Austrian Captain of Hussars. In the absence of proof this military judge had recourse to the torture of the accused. They were kept without food till nature was on the point of giving way ; they wore chained in the form of hoops ; they were compelled to witness each other's misery ; they were constantly told that a firing party was waiting for them, and that they were about to be led out to immediate execution. Each was told in turn that his com panion had confessed, and that he might as well make a clean breast of it ; or, that if he did not confess, his companions would instantly be put to the direst torture. The examinations were written down in German, of which the accused did not understand one word, and they were com pelled to affix their signatures to depositions writ ten in characters of which they knew not the sig nificance. For ten years the Holy Father permitted the Austrians to torment his people in the Ariatic pro vinces of his States ' • while, to assist them, Cardin a l Antonelli published an edict, dated 30th July, 1855, restoring as a punishmerit the use of the chevalet— an instrument of torture used by Pagan Emperors against the early Christians. This for centuries has been the statesmanship of Papal Rome, to madden people into rebellion and then to call lin the foreigner to shoot them down. It is said that for accepting the glad allegiance of a pro vince which the Roman Goaernment has never been able either to govern or protect, Victor Emmanuel is about to be formally and nominally excommunicated by the Pope. We seriously doubt the statement. We believe the Court of Rome has long been convinced of the jarecepediency• of employing this rusty mediaeval engine( of spiri tual despotism. If, however, the most romantic of Pontiffs, dwelling too much on the personal bear ings of the annexation, should see in the beneficent act of the King an enormity of guilt calling for some signal and extraordinary mark of St. Peter s displeasure, and should pronounce the greater ex communication against Victor Emmanuel, the Pope would damage only his own Chureh, by identifying it more closely with all that is hideous and inhu man in his Government ; while the King would gain one more title to the gratitude of those who from henceforth he will call his people.--DeilY News. THE MORTALITY AS MA ON BOARD IA THE GREAT TN. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. To-day the inquiry commenced before the borough coroner into the caus dis char ged thereat MOT talitv and sickness amongst the soldiers of the European regiments, late in the service of the East India Company whilst on board the Great Tasmania, on their passage home from India. There is every indication of the inquiry being made most searching, but as far as it has gone t o -day, the likelihood is that a pretty prevalent opinion, entertained here durin g the par th e ttw e o arrivaldaYtle will be confirmed.

With regard to hammocks, it was given in eve dcnce that every man on going on board had a hammock and blanket given him ; that a regular inspection of hammocks and clothing was made, and then it was found that the number was decreas ing—that a cleanly man was sure to have his good. hammock taken, and ono fit only to be thrown over board left in its place. The inquiry will be daily continued until exerr allegation kas received a searching investigation. An ancient usage, which dates from the time of Henry IV.—that of giving agricultural lectures on Sunday after wasps—has lately been revived in some COlllllllllles France r Government patronage.
