LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.) APPEAL-PEARCE V. LINDSAY. The further hearing of this part-heard appeal was resumed this morning. . _ Mr. limes, Q.C., is now being heard for the respondent APPrAL-MOTION-LIPE ASSOCIATION OF SCOTLAND V. LIDDALL. This appeal stands over for further consideration and in. quiry into the facts of tho case. ROLLS COURT. GIBSON N. GARNETT. This cause stands over. s CROSSMAN V. BIVAN,-JUDGMENT. The contention in this case arises under the codicil to the will of the late George Crostraan ; and the question raised was, what is the true construction of the provision in favour of his daughter Lucy ? The testator, by his will and codicil, bequeathed £5,833 and £5OO to his two daughters Elizabeth and Lucy, under certain conditions, in the event of their marriage and dying with or without children. Elizabeth married Mr. Duftain, and power was given to her and her husband to dispose of her share, £3,000 in the event of her having children, and to herself in the event of there being no children of the mar riage. By a codicil to his will ho made the same provision in favour of his daughter Lucy, by referring to tho previous bequest in favour of his daughter Elizabeth and her hus band. • His Honour made a declaration to the effect that Lucy was entitled to take her bequest under the same powers and conditions as her sister Elizabeth. That she was bound to make her election between the two sums of £5,832 and £5OO, in respect the testator was not entitled to bequeath both sums. Costs of all parties to be paid out of the estate. 961 6 COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Channel and Martin.) KING V. KITCIItNER. This day an action for slander, was brought by tile plaintiff, a navigator, against the defendant, the landlady to the Chequers' public-house, Fanny Stratford. The plaintiff was a member of a cricket club, and, in consequence of a quarrel about a bet, the defendant accused the plaintiff of not paying his bets. _ _ The Judge said it was a very frivolous one, and ought not to have been brought into court. A non-suit was decreed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TIIIS DAY). BRITISII POSSESSIONS. Rail ways. Closing Paid. i Zusinees done Price. Atlantic & St Lawrence Leased at 6 per cent Bom.,Baroda& Cent.

M‘KECIINIE V. M I KECIINIE AND MENZIES. This was a suit instituted by John M'Kechnie, a copper smith, for a dissolution of his marriage with the respondent. No appearance was entered. Mr. Macqueen appeared for the petitioner. He said the petitioner was married to the respondent in Scotland, in the year 1832. In January, 1854, he removed to Birkenhead, where he procured employment in an ironwork factory, and resided in a row of buildings called Dock-cottages, which were built to accommodate about 300 labourers. Some time after the removal from Scotland, the co-respondent, who was a young man about 16 years of age, went to Birken head, and called on the petitioner, who had known him when he was residing in Perth. Ho appeared to be in great distrese,petitionerobtained him employment. Until the year 1857 the respondent, who had given birth to five children, conducted herself with great propriety; but she then ac quired habits of intemperance, and became extremely violent in her conduct, and in the January of 1858 he was obliged to leave her, but at the solicitation of one of the children he returned. From some information which he had received he was induced to suspect that she had been guilty of adultery, which she subsequently admitted, stating that the youngest child was Menzies'. She ulti mately went away with tho co-respondent, and had not returned to the petitioner. Evidence was adduced in confirmation of the preceding statement, and the court decreed the dissolution of the marriage. HASWELL V. HASWELL AND SANDERSON. Dr. Phillimore in this case applied fora decree dissolving the marriage of the petitioner and the respondent. The petitioner was the son of a gentleman residing in the city, and in 1852 he married a lady named Mary Jane Black wood Gilbert, who r esided in a kind of tavern in Eastcheap. The marriage was a clandestine one, and the difficulty was that there was no matrimonial domicile. The two parties, it ap peared, had been in the habit of secretly meeting after the marriage; but during the absence of the petitioner, who was an artist, in Scotland, his father found out his son's mar riage. The wife aftewards formed a connection with a per son of the name of Sanderson, with whom she was now living in open adultery. The father of the petitioner, Mr. David Haswell, was called, and proved the marriage of his son with the respon dent, Miss Mary Jane Blackwood Gilbert, at the registrar's office, in Bethnal-green. He became acquainted of his son's marriage by accident, by the discovery of a letter signed "Mary Jane IL," at his son's chambers, in Lyon's inn. He sent to the residence mentioned in the letter for the writer; the lady came, and said she was tho wife of his son. Sho afterwaida visited his (witness's) residence, as she had a general invitation, but altogether she did not eome more than three or four times. Her absence caused souse surprise. lie afterwards saw the respondent at a house in Alpha-road; Now-cross. Knocking at the door, it was opened by Mr. Sanderson, who in answer to questions informed him Mrs. Sanderson was not yet up. On the respondent coming down stairs witness asked her AI she was married to Mr. Sanderson, and she said that she was. By the Judge—He could not say where his son was living in 1852. He left home when he was 18 or 19 to follow his profession as an artist. Agnes Haswell, sister of the petitioner, said she had a slight knowledge of the respondent before her marriage. Her brother used to ♦isit the beershop in Eastcheap with other men, and ho was told by different members of his family that the connection he was forming was not a good one, as the young woman was seen walking with other gentlemen. • Jane Cooper said sh• was in the service of Mr. Sander son, sen., in 1852, and during that year eho had frequently seen the respondent walking with different gentlemen. Harriett Bayley, first cousin of the respondent, said, in 1852 she was visiting her aunt, at No. 11, Eastcheap. She recollected Mr. Haswell coming to the house. She recol lected a person of the name of Sanderson also used to come. Miss Gilbert told me of her marriage, as we slept together. She used to get up and let Mr. Haswell in. She did so three or four times. During ono of the times I was on a visit I saw a gentleman kiss her. She always appeared flirty. James Bayley, the husband of the last witness, said he knew the petitioner and respondent. Mrs; Haswell told him her husband had left her because he had caught hor withillelmes. The la :y of the house in Alpha-row said the person whose name she now knew as Haswell resided for 12 months in hor house with a Mr. Sanderson, as his wife. The . Court had not given its decision when wo went to press. SHERIFFS' coma. THE PRACTICAL AND DEVOTIONAL FAMILY BIBLE ASSO CIATION. -.A RELIGIOUS TALLY SHOP.- PARRY V. YOUNG. Plaintiff is conductor of the above association, and defen dant is a journeyman scale maker. The action was brought to recover 425., balance of an account of £2 125., the price of a family bible, defendant having paid 10$. Plaintiff stated that it was the custom to supply the bibles upon receiving weekly payments of 2s. 6d. His Honour—Do you mean to say you apply the tally system to the bible trade? Plaintiff—We take weekly payments. His Honour thought plaintiff must make a good profit by charging £2 12s. Mr. 11'1'hun, of Glasgow, used to sell a splendid bible for 20s. Plaintiff—AM but this is illustrated; besides, it has Henry's and Scott's Commentaries. His Honour—Well, I think the association makes a good profit out of its devotion. In my opinion no profit should be made out of the Holy Bible. I suppose you are the as sociation, Mr. Parry. Plaintiff—No ; two or three gentlemen belong to it. Defendant said he should pay two shillings a-week. The plaintiff had guaranteed that the bible should be bound in " real morocco," and it was a sham. It was not bound in morocco, and defendant refused to pay morn than 275. in addition to the sum already received by plaintiff. _ . The bible was produced, and upon being handed up his Honour at once said it was not morocco. Plaintiff—lndeed it is. It is goat skin. His Honour—Well, I won't decide upon my opinion. Is there any one in court who knows anything about morocco? Mr. Williams, bootmaker, East-road, said ho had bought morocco for 40 years. The book produced was not bound in morocco. Mr. Cockles, of Leadenhall-street, a bookbinder, said the binding was imitation morocco. The book was worth from 30s. to 40s. Witness had travelled with bibles and prayer books for six years. His Honour—So the association makes about 12s. in every £2 by their devotion. It is very extraordinary that the " Tally" system should be applied to the bible trade ; but as it is so I can have nothing to say against it. Upon the evidence plaintiff will be non-suited with costs. The first principle of religion is truth, and you should not sell imitation for real morocco. If defendant likes to sue you he can recover the 10s. ho has already paid. Plaintiff then retired, saying it was real morocco. SINGULAR SCENE IN COURT. This morning a case was heard by his Honour, in which the plaintiff and defendant spoke, and his Honour delivered his judgment, in the French language. It was suggested that if the French Government wished to institute a Small Debts' Court, upon the principle of tho English law, his Honour would be qualified at once to sit. VOLUNTEER RIFLE CORPS OF ST. PANCRAS.—A movement for the establishment of a volunteer rifle brigade has commenced in the parish of St. Pancras, and a memo rial is in course of signature, requestin o n , the local authori ties to convene a public meeting upon the subject. MARLBOB4O UGH-STREET. A PARISH CLOCK AT FAULT.—Mr. Joseph Medworth, of the King's Arms, Old Compton-street, appeared to a summons before Mr. Bingham, for opening his house before the hour of ono on Sunday. The constable having stated that the defendant's house was open before the hour of one on Sunday, and that he observvi the time by the parish clock of St. Ann's, A solicitor, who appeared for the defendant, said he had a witness present who would prove that the house was not opened before one, and ho had also the person who attended to the clock, being employed by the parish, who would also prove that the clock was at fault that day. A person in the defendant's employ was then called and said the house was not open before one. The clock-winder then proved that the clock on the day in question was six minutes slow, hence the constable's mistake. (Laughter.) _ . _ Mr. Bingham said, after the last witness's evidence, tho case was at an end, and he should dismiss the summons on payment of costs. _ _ The defendant's solicitor objected to that, and ultimately the summons was dismissed without costs. Tho churchwardens of the parish attended to prove that the fault rested with the parish clock. THAMES. STBALING PORK AND PIG. SKlNS.—Alfred Saville, a youth who had been only three days in the employ of Mr. James Poulter, pork butcher and sausage maker, of Lang ley-plats, Commercial-road East, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a quantity of pig skins and Vbs. of pork, the property of his employer. A young woman in the service of the prosecutor said the prisoner was in her master's shop yesterday morning, and suspecting him watched him carefully, and saw him take a paper bag containing something bulky from under the counter. The prisoner took from the bag a piece of fresh pork and some pig skins, and put them into a tuli of saw dust with which he descended into the cellar and resumed his work of chopping up meat for sausages. Mr. Poulter was apprised of the robbery in the course of the day and looked into prisoner's coat pocket whore he saw the pork and pig skins secreted. Mr. Poulter said nothing to the prisoner then, and allowed him to finish his work and leave the house in the evening. Mr. Poulter followed him and asked him what property he had about him, to which ho replied, " Nothing belonging to you." Mr. Poulter gave the pri soner into custody, and he was searched. -The pig skins, valued at 2s. 6d., were found in the prisoner's coat pocket, l i and the pork was found concealed in his trousers. Mr. Yardley asked the pi isoner if he had any questions to ask of the witnesses, to which he replied in the negative, and on being asked if he bad any defence to make, said ho had none. He took the pork and pig skins. Mr. Poulter, in answer to a question, said the prisoner had been in his employ three days only. Inspector Dandy—The prisoner has refused his address. Mr. Yardley sentenced the prisoner to one month's im prisonment and hard labour for the unlawful possession of the pork and pig skins. SAILORS' HOME AT GREAT YARMOUTII. TO TILE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN. Sin,—ln no part of the world are there so many shipwrecks as on the east coact of England. During the year 1857 there were no fewer than 600 casualties between Dungeness and the Pent land Firth, being more than 50 per cent upon the whole number on the entire coast of the United Kingdom This very large proportion is attributable to tho vast number of ships passing and rcpassing along these shores. It is calculated that not less than 40,000 sail, exclusive of vessels engaged in our fisheries, an nually pass and repass through Yarmouth Roads ; most of them being engaged in carrying the produce of our co'lieries to London and other mar kets. This roadstead is the only natural harbour of refige on the eastern coast, and it is not uncom motito see many hundreds of ♦essels there at the same time ; whilst on some occasions a long con tinuance of adverse winds, either way, will cause a much larger number to remain at anchor. But Yarmouth Roads are surrounded by a natu ral breakwater of very dangerous sands, which in foggy weather, or when heavy gales sweep the coast, occasion many fearful shipwrecks. During the last three years more than 500 yes sels'were stranded, wrecked, or lost off this coast, or compelled to put into Yarmouth harbour with damage. As a necessary consequence the loss of life is also great; and the number of shipwrecked mariners who are landed at Yarmouth, year after year, is very considerable. Pormerly the unfortunate s tilor who lost his vessel lost his wages also, and being utterly desti tute he had to depend upon casual charity, and could only be passed to his parish as a vagrant: The law is now more humane, "The Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Benevolent Society" has done an immense amount of good by enabling the sailors themselves to claim, when shipwrecked, to be clothed, fed, and forwarded to their homes, if subscribers to it. The benefits which this society has rendered at Yarmouth, have long been readily acknowledged, but it has been felt that something more was re quired. The survivors of a wreck, or the crew of a foun dered vessel, are brought on shore always wet and weary, frequently exhausted by cold and hunger, often more dead than alive. There was no place to which they could be carried but the public-house, where it was impossible to obtain, on the instant, those appliances which were so necessary to re store suspended animation, and such other remedies as circumstances required. To obviate this evil an institution was founded at this port about 12 months since, having for its object the social and moral improvement of the fishermen, bcachmen, and seafaring population of the town, and combining the advantages of a Sailors' Home (so far as the same are required here), and especially providing a place of refuge for the shipwrecked and destitute mariners of all nations. Hitherto the business has been conducted by a committee of gentlemen having G. S. Harcourt, Esq., for their honorary secretary, in hired rooms near the beach, with very marked success ; 288 shipwrecked and distressed mariners having al ready been received and relieved. Of this num ber 204 were British seamen, and 84 foreigners of all nations. The inadequacy of the present establishment has, how ever, been made most painfully apparent dur ing the recent gales which have desolated our coast. In twelve days only, one hundred and nine ship wrecked mariners were brought to the Home, and relieved so far as the present limited resources would permit. Of these 91 were British subjects and 18 foreigners. Forty men were brought in on one day, of whom 33 slept at the home. In order, therefore, to meet the very urgent de molds now made upon the committee, it has been proposed to erect upon a most eligible site, fronting the sea, lately granted by the Town Council for the purpose, a building fitted with baths and all other necessary appliances, to which shipwrecked marine! s can be brought at any hour of the day or night, and at which there will be the certainty of finding not only food and shelter, but also good beds, warn and dry clothing, and all other things necessary to restore them to health and stmngth ; and it is firmly believed that by such means many a valuable life (as has already been the case in three instances) may be saved. The cost of a building to contain all the required accommodation is estimated at £2,000, of which the sum of £BOO, besides the site, has been obtained ; and at a public meeting lately held in our Town hall, it was determined to appeal to the humanity and generosity of the public generally to assist the inhabitants of Great Yarmouth in establishing au institution which may be considered as partaking of a national character. I therefore take the liberty of placing these facts before you, in the earnest hope that tria appeal of the shipwrecked mariners may not be in vain, and that you will be disposed to lend your aid in sup port of the undertaking to which I have ventured to direct your attention.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, Great Yarmouth, Nov., 1859.

SACRILEGE AT PLYMOUTIL—Four seamen be longing to her Majesty's ship Trafalgar, Thomas Brown, Joseph Dennis, James Harris, and James Ellwood, were brought before Mr. Derry, magistrate at Plymouth, on Tuesday, charged with having entered St. Andrew's Church and stolen therefrom the communion cloth and two covers of cushions.

It is a common practice with moralists and his torians to estimate the civilisation of a community by the positi•in and treatment accorded to women in the social body; and we arc usually taught to recognise the true features of -barbarism in cus toms which throw all the labour of life on the shoulders of women, while the men reserve them selves in haughty indolence fur the savage pas times of hunting or war. With the accuracy of this moral diagnosis we arc not concerned io quarrel, but we do entertain considerable doubt whether our own most opposite usages in this ; respect arc entitled to unqualified approval as evidence of true civilisation. In exempting our women from the toils of existence, and quarter ing them systematically on the stronger sex for support, we have left them exposed, when this support fails them, to trials and sufferings far less tolerable than the mere hardships of labour. We do not say that our theory is essentially false; on the contrary, we believe it to be true; but, whether true or false, it is found by experience to be impracticable, and it would be mere folly to shut our eyes to the realities before us. The simple fact that women are constantly throw's upon the world to get their daily bread by their awn exer tions is a sufficient answer to those who think that dependence upon man is a woman's proper position. We are quite willing to accept that principle, if it could but be realized. On this point we be. lieve all parties, at any rate in this country, aro of one accord. if every woman could reckon with absolute confidence on the protection and sup port of a father, a husband, a brother, or some body standing in an equivalent capacity, that state of things would unquestionably be the beet for us The service which a woman so placed could render in return would be her natural service; int thhede lainy mncst i i i cd n u n t (l es are her proper duties, and it is the home that her most legitimate sphere is to be found. These propositions we do not gainsay. fora l‘ 3 the is. Jamesonn i. icment. They would be promptly ao cepted moatearnest v No uiaccept advocates of . them, Miss inde pendence. Parkes would accept them, and they would meet, indeed, as far as we are aware, with no contraven tion whatever. hut, unfortunately, this common agreement is utterly good for nothing in the face of every-day life. Destitute wothen crowd the scene by thousands, and the question is not whether ws shall reject our theory as essentially wrong, but what we shall do with it when it is so extensively destroyed by facts. It is too late to inquire whether women ought to take upon their own shoulders the duties of daily labour. They are doing so already, under the compulsion of neces sity, in vast numbers, and with most deplorable disadvantages. When we discuss, therefore, the duties on which they may be best employed, we are but dealing with f ac t s as th e y s t an d. N o b o dy desires to invest a woman with now "rights," or to charge her with any new "mission." She is best placed as man's helpmate, b u t th a t pl ac e, unhappily, she cannot always find, and, as she can not, it is obviously the wisest course to make the best of the difficulty by substituting some other spheres of usefulness. The whole question of " educated female labour" —by which term is meant all female labour above that of an absolutely menial character—may be resolved into a single line of explanation. Every woman of education who has got her bread to get is expected to get it as a governess, and, as this necessarily proves the ruin of the pro!ession , it is asked whether some other openings cannot be found. It deserves especially to be noticed that in the classes below the educated class there is no pressure or suffering experienced. Take a girl who does not aspire to be a governess, or even a needle woman, and she can command her own terms. Servants of all kinds, from the highest to the lowest—housekeepers, ladies'-maids, cooks, nurses —get their full share of the prosperity of the times. Their wages are nearly double what they were fifty years ago ; they can dress as smartly as their mistresses, and save money too. It is only .when a certain amount of education has been ac quired or a certain position in lite occupied that a woman becomes helpless. If this were the ease with men we should think the result most extraordinary. If good schooling and quick capacity were to disqualify a lad for rising in the world we should regard the state of society as strangely wrong ; and yet this is what is allowed to happen with women. yet women are at a premium ; they may have whatever they like to ask for by going to the colonies, but they have already got such a call of the market at home that few of them take the voyage. Give these same women a little education, just enough to lift their ideas above the kitchen or the garret, and they lose all their advantages. As seamstresses they may work them selves to death for half the wages of a scullion, or "go out" as governesses for less pay than a cook, and with scarce a prospect of competence or comfort after a life of drudgery. We have already inserted communications on this subject showing how many branches of art and how many departments of labour are really open to female industry if the prejudices of society could not be but once discarded. Modelling, en graving, lithographic drawing, filigree work, and fifty other forms of designing, would afford ample scope and excellent remuneration for special capa cities. Such capacities, however, in women as well as men, must be comparatively rare, and we should not omit to mention that the ordinary standard of female competency is not only not ignored in these speculations, but is actually regarded as of moro immediate promise than talents of a higher kifid. It is at this point, indeed, and this only, that the controversy we have been considering ex hibits any symptom of radical innovation. Here, however, it has been asserted that, apart from all the contingent obligations of women, it is absolutely indispensable, as a measure of social reform, that woman's work should be called in and employed in certain departments of business. It is argued that women in workhouses, women in prisons, women in reformatories, and women in sickness, do imperatively require female attendance and supervision ; that for lack of this superintendence rising female generations are viciously disposed, and that by excluding women from such places of trust and authority we not only deprive the sex of a remunerative occupation, but work infinite damage to the whole social body. We cannot enter into this argument more par ticularly at present. We do but allude to it, not merely as indicating what Miss Parkes called the great " field of p.iid social labour," but as showing what opinions arc at work upon the question, besides those which are concerned simply with female employment. We can well understand that a good deal of this discussion may in many quarters be distasteful. In fact, it does imply a sad shortcoming, some where or other, in our social system. The very proposition from which we:are obliged to start —that in this opulent and prosperous country thousands of women must be expected to miss that position in life where the greatest amount of happi ness could be imparted and received—is in itself a disagreeable one. Perhaps, too, it may be thought that the present movement may rather aggravate the mischief, and that if, in addition to the disin clination of men to marry, we create a disinclination in women to be married, the result must be prejudi- cial to civilisation and society. But wa do not tee how the risk, if risk there is, can be avoided. There is the actual evil before us, and we must face it. It is not as if the destitution of women were a thing of uncommon occurrence, to be recognised as a rare exception which could not affect a rule. Miss Parkes swept away that idea at once when, in addressing her audience at Brad ford, she did not hesitate to ask whether there was a single man in the company who bad not known among his own connections an instance of the de stitution referred to. The difficulty, therefore, or the misfortune, or whatever it may be termed, h as already occurred, and is staring us in the face. How it has happened it might not be useless to in. quire, but at any rate, there it is. Women can no longer, in this country, rely with such certainty upon the support of man as to be exempt from the obligation of learning how to support themselves. There is the truth. It would be the best of all remedies if we could be enabled to unsay it, but, u we cannot do this, it remains only to deal with it to the best of our power, and to lend a helping hand to those who, if they cannot place women in their proper spheres, will at least relieve them from the misery of having no liihere at all.-7 lams. TnE SCACII SHIPOWNER AND THE WRECKED CREWS.—During a heavy gale of wind on the 7th inst., the schooner Hawk, of Aberdeen, picked up off St. Abb's Head the crews, consisting of six men, of the wrecked vessels, Ark, of Colchester, and Ann, of North Shields. The poor fellows were kindly treated for four days by the master of the Scotch schooner, and afterwards brought by him, we believe, to London. The probable expense of this mainte nance was £lss. On the Scotch shipowner learning this fact, he immediately instructed the master of his vessel to apply for the repayment of the expenses from the Ship wrecked Mariners' Society. Of course, that society declined to entertain the application. A subseglent application to the National Lifeboat Institution was attended with no better success. If the shipowner himself were to suffer shipwreck, and practically to avail himself of the kindness of those who above all others ought to extend it to him, he would no doubt appreciate rightly the nature of the sympa thy and kindness shown to the six men for whose mainte nance for a few days ho so much desires payment. But this case is only another illustration of the little or no sympathy that unfortunately exists between shipowners and the sailors is their employ. We have often referred to the want of this sympathy on occasions of wrecks, when it has been discovered that the wrecked vessel had on boarl little or no provisions, not even a lifebuoy or lifebelt to save life on these disasters. ,----' THE Min; [raw' or its f the and tndis- Lana ,fish, hale 3 t h of .Solid Ibbor T i g ht 70411 1, and eturn ireat" r ico Y nents g igot ,ealth s igh . been ate' 1 tho n 1 L the 1, but coil' anti' NT the iere hen ch° o r DO t of 101 i Sue 6411 106 5i 171 20 S took Sto. 1 Stooki 100 100 Stook Stock Stock Stook Share all all all all all II i 251 111 1 1011
