The accounts from most of the manufacturing districts represent that, during the past week, there has been little change of importance in the general state of trade. Rather more activity has prevailed in the woollen cloth trade of Leeds, owing to the favourable alteration in the weather. A fair in quiry has existed for goods at Manchester, suitable to the East India and China markets ; for the home demand, however, business has been inactive. Piece goods at Bradford have been in moderate request, but wools and yarns remained inactive. At Leices ter the various branches of the hosiery business have been dull ; an improvement, howeN er, is anti cipated owing to the beneficial change in the weather. The iron trade of South Staffordshire has shown little alteration ; and business at Bir mingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton has con tinued dull. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, on Saturday, the transactions were rather less extensive, but prices were firm. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales. Within the last day or two a slight increase has been perceptible in the inquiry for money, which may be accounted for by the requirements of the trading classes who, in many cases, refrained from obtaining the accommodation they needed until after the Bank directors had met on Thursday, as there was some expectation of a decline in the rate of discount. The terms, however, have not been influenced by this additional activity, and a further reduction is fully anticipated; gold continues to flow into the Bank, and the next return, it is imagined, will also exhibit a falling off in the other securities. The Edinburgh, from New York, has been an nounced this morning with £20,230 in specie. A call of 12 florins per share has been made by the Directors of the Dutch Rhenish Railway, pay - able on the Ist September next. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £506,614, and the exports £228,079, exclusive of the following shipments direct from London to the Continent during the week ending Thursday last : Cold coin, Calais f py Hambro' „ Boulogne 240 „ fi /9 Belgium „ bars Hanibro' , „ Boulogno 5,250 „ Silvercoin, Calais „ „ Belguim 2,7, Boulogne 1,600 „ „ „ Hambro' The market for public securities remains in a quiet state, and during the next few days the liqui dation of the account will engage the attention of the members. It is probable, also, that the tendency of values will be influenced by the necessary arrangements ; and already the effect of some of the preliminary movements does not appear to have been altogether favourable, rather a heavy tone being exhibited. Consols have been 951 for money and the 9th inst., and 95:1 for June, but they are now 95 to 959 and 95.1 respectively. The New 3 per Cents. are steady at 932 ; the Reduced at 931 I; Bank Stock has improved to 226 2271 ; India ditto has receded to 219 ; ditto New Loan to 1061 y ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is firmer at 98a ; ditto 51. per Cent. ditto at 1041 1 ; Exchequer Bills, Gs to Bs. prem. In Foreign Securities a moderate amount of business is recorded, but prices generally are de pressed. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 77 to 771 ; ditto New, 62 to 62; ; and the 4 per Cents. have receded to 1011 4 ; Portuguese, to 451 ; Mexican, to 21; ; Spanish, to 48f 1; and ditto Deferred, to 371- 38.1 ; Brazilian 5 per Cents, are steady, at 1001; and ditto 41 per Cents. at 911. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 2.-1 3 prem.; the Universal ditto, 1 4 prem. The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been rather more active, and prices have shown more firmness. Eastern Counties, Great Northerns, Brightons, Midlands, North-Eastern (Berwick), and South Easterns, have improved 55., and North British 10s. Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton have declined ss. In the Foreign and Colonial markets there has been little change of importance. Lombardo-Vene tian, with £2 more paid up, are quoted £l3 ex dividend. East Indian, Great Indian Peninsula, Grand Trunk of Canada, and Great We.tern of Canada, realised about former rates. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares con tinued dull, but no ehange of importance took place in values. Union of London realised 25 to 25f ; Bank of Australasia, 701 ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 80. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 934 I 3 per Cent.

TWO O'CLOCK. 95 i 95i II Consols, Money Ditto Account VIENNA, May 2.—Private letters from Caschau fully confirm the information given relative to M. Zsedenyi. That gentleman is permitted to have breakfast, but no supper. On the 28th of April, a judge and a commissary, who were attended by several agents of the police, went to the house of a barrister at Trieste and took from him all the papers belonging to Baron Bruck which they found in his possession. The majority of the Vienna papers continue to insist on the perfect innocence of the late Minister of Finance, but it hardly admits of a doubt that the Government is in possession of evidence which leaves no doubt of his complicity with some of the persons who are in arrest. A private letter says the 15th of this month is the day fixed by the Turin Parliament for the debate on the treaty concluded between the King of Sardinia and the Emperor Napoleon for the cession of Savoy and Nice to France. It is said that the Deputies natazzi, Garibaldi, Migliettti, and others of their party are determined to make a strong opposition to the ratification of the treaty, but it is certain that notwithstanding their opposition the treaty will be ratified by an overwhelming majority. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The following members of the College having undergone the necessary examinations, were admitted licentiates in midwifery at a Meeting of the board on the 4th instant, viz. :—Messrs. Thomas Charles Steuart Corry, Belfast, diploma of mem • bership dated Oct. 2, 1816 ; Edgar Shaw Blaker, Lewes, S ussex, April 15, 18.59; Edward Adolphus Brown, East wood, Nottinghamshire ; Charles Whiston Hind, Swindon, Wiltshire, Dec. 5, 1845 John Woodman, Exeter, Devon, April 17, 1860 ; Edmund Holland, Rugeley, Staffordshire, April 19, 1860; William John Hunt, Sheerness, April 19, 1860; Alexander George Davey, Walmer, April 13, 1860; Edmund Strickla n d, Ki r by Moorside, Yorkshire, April 20, 1860; Henry Grant Sutton, Ihninster, Somerset, Aprill7, 1860; Harrison Hanna, Belfast, May 11, 1852; and Wm. Thomas Salmon, Canada, July 18, 1859. THESE SEAMEN.—We trust our lives to these seamen, and how nobly they fulfil their trust : They are under heaven, as a providence for us. Whilst we sleep, their untiring watchfulness keeps guard over us. All night through that bell sounds at its season, and tells how our sentinels defend us. It rang when the Amazon was on fire, and chimed its heroic signal of duty, and courage, and honour. Think of the dangers these seamen undergo for Us; the hourly peril and watch ; the familiar storm ; the dreadful iceberg; the long winter nights when the decks are as glass, and the sailor has to climb through icicles to bend the stiff sail on the yard. Think of their courage and their kindnesses in cold, in tempest, in hunger, in wreck " The women and children to the boats," says the captain of the Birkenhead, and, with the troops formed on the deck, and the crew obedient tJ the word of glorious com mand, the immortal shipgoesdown.—" Cornhill Magazine' far may.

CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat, and all kinds met a dull in quiry at drooping currencies. For spring corn the demand was much less active, and some descriptions of flour were offering on easier terms. Throughout the Continent wheat has supported late quo tations, but the demand has ruled inactive. All spring corn, however, has commanded extreme rates. In the United States no change of importance has taken place in value of either wheat or flour. The arrivals of home-grown produce into the port of London last week were only moderate. The imports from I abroad, however, were liberal—viz , 15,336 qrs. of wheat, 9,272 of barley, 27,360 oats, 170 beans, 206 peas, 55 tares, 65 linseed, 175 sundry seeds, and 1,000 sacks of flour. Fresh up to our market this morning a very limited supply of wheat came to hand, both from Essex and Kent, in fair average condition. There was a slight increase in the number of millers in attendance, and most kinds of wheat of home produce were taken by them somewhat slowly at last Monday's decline in the quotations, and at which the bulk of the supply was disposed of. At the close of business, however, Kentish wheats gave way is per qr. Foreign wheat, the show of which was moderately good, changed hands slowly ; nevertheless no change: took place in the quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were much less active. In prices, however, no change took place. Malting barley was dull, and irregular in price ; but grinding and distilling sorts changed hands steadily at late rates. We have to report a dull sale for malt on former terms. The oat trade was steady, but no change took place in prices. Beans were in short supply and fair request at full quota• There was a fair inquiry for peas at fully late rates. The flour trade was in a sluggish state, at last Monday's quotations.

PAST AND FUTURE. It is questionable whether the " Cup" excited so much interest amongst the vast masses of people who crowded Chester during the past week, as did the presence of the hero of the day, the redoubtable Mr. Thomas Sayers. He was the lion of the meeting ; admiring, shouting crowds attended him to the race course, .and morning and evening blocked up the road in front of his hotel. Tom seems to be getting quite accustomed to these- ovations, and acknow ledged them with great coolness and condescension. Had he won a Waterloo his popularity could not have been greater amongst the masses. The weather during the week was extraordinarily fine, and we seemed to have emerged with one step from the middle of winter into the middle of summer. The attend ance, too, was enormous; perhaps a larger crowd of spec tators was never before seen on the Border. The walls and the embankment were black with human heads, and the entire scene reminded one more of the interior of the Alhambra Palace on the occasion of a wondrously-attrac tive performance, than it did of a racecourse. The pro gramme was, however, the weakest ever issued at Chester, and, with the exception of the Dee Stakes and the Cup— the popularity of which has rather increased than diininiz nished—the racing was of the most insignificant character. Win. Day won two races on the Tuesday, but the respec tive successes of " the Land" and Traducer brought neither of those animals into the market again for the Chester Cup, albeit Petra rose rapidly into increased favour. Mr. Saxon's fine strapping colt Big Ben carried off the Mostyn Stakes without an effort. The result of the race for the Cup confirmed the reputa tion which St. Albans acquired by his Epsom and New market victories. He won at Chester with remarkable ease, literally jumping from one side of the course to the other when called upon by his jockey. If he be not stale after his three recent races he will take a deal of beating for the Derby. Petra showed trial. William Day was quite justified in making her the trusted representative of the Woodyates stable, and many people entertain a belief which, however, I cannot share, that she ought to have won according to her running with Tame. Deer on the Friday. The performance of the old Deer, who looked nearly double the size he was at this time last year, caused Buccaneer to be advanced in the Derby bet ting. By the way, Lord Portsmouth is determined to in vestigate the causes which led to the movements in connec tion with Buccaneer for the Two Thousand ; and it is said that he will leave no stone unturned to discover the holders of the milking pail. Underhand ran for the Cup more with an eye to another Northumberland Plate than with any expectation of success. Satellite did not show to much ad. vantage, and his running rather damaged the position of Umpire in the market. Longrange was beaten from start to finish, and his sorry exhibition created almost as much astonishment as did the Two Thousand success of the Wizard. After the easy success of Brother to Rainbow for the Dee Stakes, I was surprised that Thormanby did not receive more support for the Derby than he did, albeit ho was backed for money by his own party. I shall be much surprised if both Sir William and Upperhand do not prove very dan gerous outsider; for the Epsom event. Tuesday's racing was very meagre and very uninteresting. There will be plenty of sport this week in the north. Two capital meetings will be held, one at Doncaster and one at York, and in the south the pleasant Salisbury gathering will take place. Doncaster will commence to-morrow. The Trial Stakes has ten nominations, which are somewhat moderate. Balnamoon may prove the best of the lot. For the Handicap a pretty good field may be anticipated, and I shall select Birmingham and Weatherbeund, both of whom were thought good enough by their respective parties to win the Chester Cup. The Hopeful Stakes now annually furnishes a most interesting race. lam somewhat doubtful about the probable starters, but should Longshot go to the post I shall expect him to improve upon his Chester running. For the Londesborough Pltte I shall select Spicebox. The Betting Room Stakes may go to Black Diamond, and the Glasgow Plate to Lupus. The result of the Chesterfield Plate will depend upon the issue of the preceding handi caps. A FRESH MAN. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

OLD COURT The May sessions of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Aldermen Sir F. Moon and Sir R. Carden, and Sheriffs Philips and Gabriel. Amongst the gentlemen summoned to serve on the 'grand jury was Richard Wyndham Phillips, artist, who claimed to be excused. The Lord Mayor—On what ground, Mr. Phillips, do you claim to be excused. Mr. Phillips—l have served, my lord, once within the present year. My residence is in Kent and my studio is in London, and on the present occasion I am summoned for my London property. I think it a great hardship to be called upon to act as a grand juror again, as to a person like myself, an artist and working man, the sacrifice of three days is a heavy loss ; besides, my lord, this is the opening day of the Royal Academy. The Lord Mayor—As you have property both in London and Kent you are liable to serve. However, as you, I dare say, are willing to serve on another occasion you are for the present excused. The Recorder then, in charging the grand jury, said, there were rather more than the ordinary number of case's in the calendar, but none involving any difficulty. There were three charges involving the loss of life, but the charges did not amount to more than manslaughter. The first was that of a person named Harper, and the deceased it appeared died in the workhouse from concussion of the brain. It appeared from the evidence that two days before his death he was engaged in a fight with the prisoner dur ing which he fell and received a blow on the back part of the head. If they should be of opinion that death arose from the injury, and that it was caused by the prisoner then they would return a true bill. The next oase was that of death resulting from furious driving, and if ix the evidence that would be laid before them it should clearly prove that there was a want of proper precaution on the part of the pri soner, the owner of the vehicie they would also have to return a- true bill. One circumstance that was much to be regretted was, that the prisoner in this case, as in the preceding one, was under the influence of drink at the time. The other charge of manslaughter was that of a female, who was charged with causing the death of her in fant child by exposure to cold. All they would have to do was to calmly consider the whole of the facts of the case, and upon the result they would have to act. There was an indictment, however, in the calendar to which .he thought he ought briefly to allude. It was the case of a person named Pullinger, who was charged with robbing his employers, the directors of a joint-stock bank in the City. He was not aware that there was any difficulty in the case, and the prisoner did not ap pear to deny his guilt. The circumstances he could not help adverting to, namely, the fact that nearly the whole of the proceeds of the robberies charged to the two indi viduals found their way to the stockbrokers in payment for losses incurred on the Stock Exchange. Gambling of that description, under any circumstances, was calculated to be mischievous; but it appeared to have been an exceeding impropriety, to use the mildest term, of any stockbroker to engage in any transaction of the description for persons in such positions as the one which Pullinger occupied, without the knowledge of their employers. It was impossible that these negotiations on the Stock Exchange could be carried on by such persons without great losses occasionally, and it was hardly to be expected that persons could at all times resist the temptation when large funds were temporarily placed in their hands of appropriating them to their own purposes, and it was scarcely possible that any broker engaged in the transactions should not have some suspicion that the money used in them comes from the till of - the master. No person, therefore, should engage in these trans actions with persons placed in the confidential position of clerks or cashiers of banks without the full understanding that he should be at liberty to communicate with the employer of the person engaging him. He could not help thinking that in many cases in which large busi nesses were carried on, there must be something wrong be.. tween masters and their employees. Ho was not willing to encourage suspicion between employed and employers. On. the contrary, when he saw how businesses were conducted, he was astonished that such cases were not more frequent. Such suspicion ho believed would be unfounded, and ho thought it was the duty of the employers not to encourage temptation by any unnecessary unwatchfulness on their part. Carelessness, or overtness, or unwatchfulness would give facilities for crime, and any employer who was careless was guilty of the no mean crime of casting a stum bling block in his brother's way. Before -he con cluded his remarks he must allude to the loss the court and the public had sustained in the death of Mr. Straight, the clerk of arraigns. Although he had not held the office for any long period, he had learned the duties in the office of, and succeeded, the late Mr. Clerk, and having studied in such a school, he could not but be a valuable public servant. With these remarks he dismissed them to their duties, and said that in the event of the assistance of the court being required it would be most readily afforded. The grand jury then retired to their room. THE .NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES OF HYDE PARK. . This morning a numerous deputation of noblemen and gentlemen, from the association formed for the purpose of promoting a communication between the districts lying north and south of Hyde Park, waited upon the Hon. W. Cowper, First Commis sioner of Public Works, to impress upon him the necessity of immediately making the desired im provement. The deputation was introduced by Earl GROS. VENOR. His LORDSHIP then addressed Mr. Cowper informing him of the great necessity that existed for the formation of a road across Hyde-Park, espe cially as the population was largely increasing. The public interest would largely benefit by such an arrangement, and access to the Kensington Museum, the New Horticultural Gardens, and the proposed Exhibition in Hyde-Park in 1861 would be greatly improved. Mr. COWPER replied, that the proposed road would no doubt be a very great improvement to the residents in the locality; but before he could give any promise upon the subject he of course must consider the interests of the general public. Hyde park was now very much attended by nedestrigns and children, awl the plan of making a road through that open space would have to be very fully con sidered. There would be some expenses connected with the proposed road, and before he could give the deputation a promise he must makq . some in quiries. If, however, the object could be carried out without detriment to the general public conve nience, he should be very glad, as no doubt an im proved means of communisation was much required in the neighbourhood. The deputation having thanked the hon. gentle man, retired. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, as Ranger of the Park, was next waited on by the deputation, and Earl Grosvenor having made the same explanation of the object of the deputation, His ROYAL HIGHNESS replied that the subject would of course require to be duly considered, as he could not be expected to give an answer off hand. The interests of both parties, the resident in the locality and the general public, would have to be thought over. Of course it was necessary that large open spaces should be preserved, but the proposal was one well worthy of consideration. He was free to admit that access to both neighbour hoods was very inconveniently wide. There would also arise the question of extension, and he did not think the public would be inclined to lay out large sums for the convenience of any particular locality. If the road was made a new bridge would have to he constructed over the Serpentine, as the one in existence would be of no use. Mr. 'FITE said a sunken road might be made ' by which the general appearance of the place would not be affected, and as for the Serpentine they could go under it. His ROYAL HIGHNESS said he would give the subject every consideration, and he should be very much pleased if he could assist in carrying out the objects of the deputation. The deputation then withdrew, It is stated in a letter from Nice that a petition to tho Emperor, praying that tho title of Count do Nice may be conferred on the Imperial Prince, is being numer ously signed in all towns and villages of the county; and that the ladies of the city are signing a similar petition to the Empress METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. -- - The total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 4,229 head.

The mutton trade ruled steady, at fully last Monday's quotations, some prime old Downs out of thUwool having realised 5s 2d per 81bs.

This Court, so ably presided over by Mr. Chief Commissioner 11. J. Stonor, has frequently been praised for the excellent manner in which it has worked, in affording efficient and speedy relief to persons interested in West Indian Estates. A case in this Court has been the subject of much com ment in legal circles, owing to the reversal of a re cent judgment. The G lobe remarks upon it :—" It is not often that a decision affecting the rights of property is of more importance, within the limits of its operation, than that contained in the club°. I rate judgment of the Privy Council recently deli vered by Lord Kingsdowne in the case of Fraser v. Burgess on appeal from the West Indian Encum bered Estates Court. There has always been a floating, and not incorrect idea, that West Indian estates were subject to very peculiar claims or liens, resembling more the liabilities of a trading concern than the burdens of a landed estate. Consignees—i e. London merchants who received consignments of sugar and rum, and made advances for the cultivation of the crops —have long since been held to have liens for those advances, not only on the produce which they re ceived, but on the estate whence it came. Embol dened by - their success, managers and agents have frequently endeavoured to assert similar claims f or advances mad e by th em in the performance of their duties, and the latter have now been at length ad mitted by the Privy Council. In the court below Mr. 11. J. Stor, the Chief Commissioner, in what Lord Kingsdown terms 'a judgment of remarkable learning mad ability,' had gene through all the au thorities and declined the responsibility of extending the lien in question to managers or others besides the consignees. He, however, very strongly and credita bly reconamended to the parties to bring a caseso pro per for its decision before the Court of Appeal, who have now,aftermuch argument and consideration, de cided (as we have already mentioned) in favour of the managers. The effect of this decision will un doubtedly be to add a heavy burden to many West Indian estates which have been left unheeded by owners or mortgagees in the hands of managers and agents, frequently without requiring any accontlts. It is to be hoped, however, that it will have another effect of general benefit, namely, that of reconciling the managers and agents to the immediate intro duction of the Incumbered Estates Act in these colonies where they have hitherto opposed it. The West Indian proprietors, the mortgagees, the colonists—especially the negro population—and lastly the British public, are all deeply interested in such a result, and after the eomplete success of similar measure in Ireland it is only to be won dered that it has not been attained. Certain it is that until the land is thus freed from its present fetters, capital, enterprise, and industry will never be restored to the West Indies." LA TV INTELLIGENCE.--May 5. COURT OF DIVORCE. Before the Judge Ordinary, Mr. Baron Wilde, and Mr. Justice Willes. OWEN V. OWEN AND BROOKS. [A portion of the following appeared in our impression of Saturday :]— This was a petition for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery and drunkenness. The petitioner was a licensed victualler, and had kept the Montpelier Tavern, Walworth, and afterwards the Archery Tavern, Bathurst street, Paddington. Mr, Hawkins, Q.C., appeared for the petitioner; and Mr. Huddlestone for the respondent. . Tha marriage having been proved, witnesses were called to prove the allegations in the petition ; the principle evi dence was as follows : Mrs. Eleanor Williams said—l was barmaid to Mr. Owen, in 1858. I left for a short time and then re - turned again. I resided there until after Mrs. Owen left. Mr. and Mrs. OFen were not on good terms in 1858. Brooks, the waiter, used to make very free 'with Mrs. Owen. I have seen her giv ing him port-wine on the sly. I had seen this done four or five times. In October, 1858, I recollect a quarrel just before Mrs. Owen left. Brooks came into the bar in the absence of Mr. Owen. Mrs. Owen beckoned Brooks to go into the counting-house, which was at the end of the bar-parlour. When Mr. Owen returned and found Brooks in the countinghouse it exaspe rated him, and there was a great row. I was in the bar at the time. On hearing angry words I advised them to act with discretion. On the same evening I had some con versation with Mrs. Owen, and as I had heard Mrs. Owen had spoken disrespectful of me, I asked her what she had to say. She replied, "Nothing." I then left the room, but in a few minutes after she called me in and said she would tell me all. She admitted that she had committed adultery with John Brooks. Mr. Baron Wilde—Do you mean to say that she ad mitted she had committed adultery in the presence of her husband. Witness—Yes. Mr. Baron Wilde—What did she say Witness—She said she was sorry to say_ she had com mitted herself with Brooks, and that she hoped her husband would forgive her. She said it was not her fault but the blame rested on Brooks. The next morning she knocked at my door . and appeared in great trouble. She said she did not know where to go. She had sent for her brother to tell all about it which would be very unpleasant. She said she was going to tell her brother she had committed herself with Brooks. She appeared very faint and I fetched her something to drink. I said it was a very sad thing is Brooks was married. She said Brooks did not care for his wife, and that he loved her alone. Her brother did not take her away, which seemed to paia her very much. Her brother told her she was not to be lost as she was not the only one who had committed error. Mrs. Owen ultimately went to Gravesend, and I accompanied her, as she was very much distressed. I re turned to London in a few days, and then I received the two letters produced. The letters were read, and expressed great regret at being separated from her children, and ask. ing the witness to be kind to them. Cross-examined by Mr. Huddlestone—l first entered the service of Mr. Owen in 1856, and left for a short time. I went to live with them again in 1858. When I caw Mr. and Mrs. Owen quarrelling they appeared to me to be struggling with each other very desperately. Mr. James Baxter—l have known Mrs. Owen ever since she was a child. Myself and wife were introduced to Mr. Owen by her some time ago, and have since been on very good terms. Mrs. Baxter used to visit Mrs. Owen with my consent. On one occasion I recollect Mrs. Owen calling at our house. I also recollect in the month of November, 1857, Mr. Owen called and asked if Mrs. Owen had been there, and I told him she had not. Mrs. Baxter, wife of the last witness—l was frequently at the Montpelier Tavern, Walworth, assisting Mrs. Owen in the business. I recollect in November, 1857, there was a difference between Mr. and Mrs. Owen. I heard they had quarrelled about Mrs. Owen going out with Mr. Wheeler. I have seen her out with Wheeler. Mr. Owen forbid her going out again with him. Wheeler happened to come into the house while they were quarrelling, and I told him he was the cause of it. I recollect Mr. Owen once calling at our house to ask if Mrs. Owen had been there, but she had not. I first noticed Mrs. Owen to be familiar with Brooks in August, 1858. I went one day as usual and asked Miss Jones, the barmaid, where Mrs. Owen was. She told me she was in her bedroom. I went up stairs, and before I knocked at the door I heard two persons talking. I was refused admission, and as I felt anxious to see who was with Mrs. Owen I waited some time outside the door, and then I saw Brooks leave the room without either jacket or shoes on. I afterwards saw Mrs. Owen in her room, and she seemed very much agi tated. Nothing, however, passed relating to the cir cumstances that had just then occurred. I have seen Brooks come from Mrs. Owen's room once after that. On the 4th of October, I recollect Mr. Owen - going down into tke cellar to get some bitter beer. Mrs. Owen pointed for Brooks t' go into the counting-house. He had no busi ness there, as Mr. Owen had ordered him out of the house. When Mr. 0 wen came up and saw Brooks in the counting house a quarrel ensued. I happened to enter when Mrs. Owen said, "Oh, don't turn your back to me, Maria, as you are the only friend I have." She said she was very sorry, and admitted she had committed adultery with Jbhn Brooks. Mr. Baron Wilde—Were those the very words ? Witness—Yes. She said she was very sorry, and that she could not expect her husband to look over it. I said I was much surprised, and asked her how she could commit herself with a man so young, and a •married man. She said she had committed adultery with Brooks before he was married, and she thought that if she could get the nursemaid to marry him Mr. Owen would never find it out. Cross-examined by Mr. Huddleston—l stayed at Owen's after Mrs. Owen left to see to his business. I was there with my husband's full consent. The first time I went to Gravesend I did not toll Mr. Owen. Mrs. Owen a month after she left Mr. Owen came into the bar while I was there, and said, " Oh, Maria, it is not I who has committed adultery, it's you with Mr. Owen." I did not feel it proper to say much, as it was in a public bar, but I was very much annoyed at such language. The learned judge having summed up, The jury found that Mrs. Owen committed adultery with Brooks—that Mr. Owen had reasonable cause for separat ing from his wife in 1857—and that Mr. Owen did not commit adultery with Mrs. Baxter. The court then decreed a dissolution of the marriage, and condemned the co-respondent in coats. The United All England Eleven commence their season on May 14 at Sheffield, and on May 28 the two Elevens meet for the fray at Lord's. Tarrant, a promising young player from Cambridge, will, it is said, join the All England side on that occasion. June 7, 8, and 9 are the days fixed for the chanipion 11 to meet another 11 at Traf ford Ground,. Manchester.
