(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.) VANSITART V. VANBITABT. This was a demurrer to the plaintiff's bill. Mrs. Vansitart filed her bill for specific performance of an agreement entered into by her and her husband for an aliment to ber of 3001. per annum and the custody and education of several of her sons and daughters. This agreement was entered into between them with consent of counsel and agents (but without the censent of the husband's attorney) pending a divorce for adultery in the Arches Court. Mr. Yansitart now objected to the plaintiff's bill, that she being a married woman could not enter into this agreement; that agreement was invalid, and contrary to public policy. Moreover it was invalid, and could not be enf o rced, as she contrac ted for the ethatition and maintenance of her chi ldren, and being*, free covert, she could not legally enter into this agreement without the c onsent of her next frien d, which she had not obt a i ne d. His loneur, in delivering judgment, said that the law Was now well settled, that when a married woman entered into an agreement as to matters concerning her. self personally, she was entitled to do so, and must be considered a fens sole, as was found in the case of Walker v. Roberts, Hope v. Hope, Aitkinson v. Ross (House of Lords' causes), Wilford v. Wilford, Stranget v. Stranget. But where she entered into an agreement for the education, custody, and separate maintenance of her chillren, which she would not be entitled to under the divorce, the agreement was one that could not be enforced ; the demurrer, therefore, must be allowed, and the plaintiff's bill dimissed, but without costs. Demurrer allowed, and bill dismissed without coats. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. ;Sittings in Banco before Lord Chief Baron Polbck, Mr. Baron Mar tin, Mr. Baron Watson, and Mr. Baron Channell.) CUMMINGS V. BIRNETT. Mr. Milwood applied for a rule to show cause why an order of reference made by Mr. Baron Watson at cham bers should not be set aside, or why the cause should not be referred to one of the officers of the court. The plaintiff is a clergyman and incumbent of a parish at Colchester, in Essex, and the action was brought against the late rector for dilapidations. Under the Common Law Procedure Act the matter was referred by him to the Judge of the County Court of Eisler, on the ground of saving expense, the act giving him the power of referring it either to a County Court Judge or one of the masters of the Court.. The Court held that they could not interfere as asked Mr. Milwood then moved a rule in the nature of a mancktnus, to compel him to hear the case. The phintiff would rather have a new referee than one who might he conaidered hostile. JOHNSON V. SUMNER. Mr. E. James, Q.C., moved for a new trial in this case, which was an action tried before the Lord Chief Baron, at the late Westminstor sittings, His lordship directed a verdict for the defendant, with leave to the plaintiff to tender a bill of exceptions or elect to be non suited. He moved on the ground of misdirection. The action was brought by the plaiNtiff, a milliner, to recover 1861., the value of articles of dress, supplied to the defendant's wife. The defendant is the son of a gentleman of property, residing near Guildford, married in 1849 a daughter of the Countess Valsomacchii (widow of the late Bishop Heber) whom he left in Berlin in 1851, on account of incompatibility of temper, and in 1855 he obtained a divorce a Vinculo. Iu 1851 Mrs. Sumner introduced by her mother was supplied with certain articles of dress, and in 1851 and 1852 incurred the above bill. On the trial it was shown by the husband that when he left his wife at Berlin she had between 601. and 701. in stoney and he left her her property, about 2001. a year, to live upon. On the trial it was shown that when she called on the plaintiff she was d Istituto of clothes, having only a travelling dress on. The learned judge, on the trial, directed the jury to find a verdict for tie defendant, on the ground that the sum of 200/. a year was sufficient for the wife, even if the husband's income had been 10,0001. a year. The Chief Baron said he laid down that there was no evidence of pledging the husband's credit. Mr. James said the learned Judge, in laying down that it was not for the jury to say whether the amount allowed to the wife was suficient, laid down new law in Westminster Hall, which took every one by surprise. Mr. Baron Martin-2001. a-year might be sufficient for the wife, but I apprehend the question should have been left to the jury. The Lord Chief Baron—l think not. Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. ;Sittings at Nisi Prins, Westminster. Before Mr, Justice acid a Common Jury.) HUXLEY V. AUSTIN.--IXTRAORDINABY CASE. The plaintiff is a young widow of the tender age of 49, and the defendant, a youthful•looking Lothario of 27, carrying on business at 5, Furnival's Inn, Holborn, to recover the sum of 340/. lent by the plaintiff to the defendant in various sums in 1852-3. The defendant pleaded never indebted. Mr. Serjeant Shee and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Montague Chambers for defendant. • It appeared that the plaintiff, in the year 1852, being of the bloomin g age o f 44, began to be tired of her widowhood, and meeting the defendant, a mere stripling of 21, became enamoured with him, and the young gen tleman finding she had money, became suddenly smitten with her charms, and paid the most itesidnous attention to her, taking her to all sorts of places, amusements, the various theatres in the metropolis, but more p ar ti cu l ar l y the Fl ora Gardens, Camberwell, in the neighbourhood of which the lady lived, each had their own pocket money, the lady so metimes paying and the gentl eman at others, these pleasant a musements were followed by suppers, the devoted, loving, affectionate, and a morous couple filling up the n i g ht b y slee p in g together as man an d , w ife some nights a t the g a y y oun g widow's house, and sometimes at her young Lothario'e. In June, 1852, the widow opened her heart by telling the defendant if 2001 . wou ld be useful to h im in his business, sh e wou n l en d i t hi m . The defendant at once jump e d at the golden hi n t, and accepted it. The lady sold ou t stock to the amoun t of 2001., and lent him the m oney, receiving his promissory note for the amou In th e f o ll ow i ng September the defendant obtained a further sum of 501. ; 701. in December, and 241 % in April, 1853. All this time they were in the habit of fr om t i me to time sleep i n g together. The plain tiff's case Was that the moneys were lent, and that the defendant had paid .the interest, but sho did so under a promise of marriage, and she had slept with hint in the belief she would be his wife, a promise which he never fulfilled. On the part of the defendant, who was called, the 2001. was not denied, but it was contended that the other sums were g i fts, and that he never p romised marriage. defendant, i n A numbe r o f l etters were read f rom the plaintiff to the Effusions. I n one to her " Daar William," she stated night was the happiest she had had for some the previouswhich she breathed the mos t a m orous weeks, caused b y dreaming of h i m , an d that when she awoke she regretted to find " that Jane was sleeping with her," and not her dear William, concluding by hoping to see him on the Wednesday, if only for a few minutes, from his affectionate wife. In others she calla the defendant her dear husband, and sends him thousands of kisses, she loving bim dearer than life, &O. The learned judge, h av i ng summe d up , lest it to the jury to say whether the sum s were g ift s ; no doubt gross immorality bad been disclosed.

An allegation was made that the bankrupt had fraudulently contracted a debt which would bring him under the penal clause of the act, and an adjournment was there fore asked by the assignee. Mr. Beard, from Mr. Buchanan's, said he would at once consent to an adjournment, being confident the bankrupt would exonerate himself. An adjournment took place. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE lIINKLEY. This bankrupt was described an of Brentwood, corn factor, and to-day was appointed lor his examination. The balance -sheet prepared by Messrs Butler and Can nigs showed the debts 1,2961. ; assets, 5601. CITY - SITERIF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) TUCKER V. ToZER. This was an action in trover, to recover the isnm of 151., the alleged value of two pictures, left in defendant's care. Mr. W. 11. Buchanan, Basirghall street, appeared for the defendant, and urged, on v that the pl a i n tiff cou ld snot recover. T e bader l b i l intg' nadmitted, ou the part of the plaintiff, several that he was indebted to the defendant for 11. 12s. 6d., ; for work done to the frames. The defendant's set-off, if it might be called so, when no right of action existed, was that there was a set-cff fer warehouse room, the property having been left for two years, and he (Mr. Buchanan) considered there was a right of claim for the warehouseman ; and, further, that the plaintiff was not the legal possessor of the property which had been bought at a sale, and although the pictures had been bought in plaint;ff's name, they were in fact paid for by another party. Evidence to this effect was given. Mr. Buchanan then argued in the question of tender, and quoted several cases, particularly those in Roscoe, p. 247, which involve the great legal principle that a tender must be unconditional. In this case the money, U. 12g. 61, had been laid down, but the plaintiff kept his hand upon it, so that the defendant should not take it except he had the pic tures delivered up to him. Mr. Buchanan contended that this was not a tender under the causes laid down by Roscoe and other eminent authorities, and that de fendant had a lien upon the property until his charges were paid. His Honour, however, held that the tender was good, and gave judgment for le. as nominal damages for the detention—restitutioa of the property on the payment of 1/. 12s. 6d. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) THAMES. DISORDERLY PAIIPERS.—John Cooper and William Watts, two able-bodied men, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with tearing up their clothes in Ratcliff Workhouse. Edward Snelling, porter at the Ratcliff Workhouse, said the prisoners were admitted there last night as casual paupers, and received proper relief. This morning they remained in bed . after the other paupers had risen. He asked them why they did not get up, to which they replied that they had no clotheP, and he discovered that they had torn up the whole of their clothes in which they came to the workhouse last night. He was compelled to provide them with other garments to enable them to come to that court. The prisoner Cooper said his clothes were very filthy and dirty, and he could not bear them any longer. He could have obtained work the day before yesterday if he had been provided with suitable apparel. Mr. Selfe—That is no reason you should have de stroyed your clothes. This system must be stopped. What have you to say, Watts I Watts—l could endure myself no longer. My cl.,thes were covered with vermin. What could Ido ? I was almost distracted. Mr. Selfe—This is not to be tolerated. Yon are sen• tenced to 14 days' imprisonment, with hard labour. MATUKET NEWS.—('rids Day,) CORN EXCHANGE. Since Monday, and fresh up to-day, the arrivals of Eng lish wheat, coastwise and by railway, have been very mo derato. Notwithstanding that the show of samples here to-day was limited, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, and a few forced sales were effected at a decline of fully is per quarter. Over 10,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come fresh to hand. Good and fine qualities sold on former terms, but inferior parcels were lower to purchase. Barley, except the finest samrles, sold heavily, at bareiy stationary prices. Not less than 16,870 quarters of foreign barley have come in this week. We experienced a slow inquiry for malt, on former terms. The supply of oats was limited, and the demand ruled steady, at an advance of 6d per qu.lrter.

Efforts have been making for some mouths past in Manchester to re-organise a reform party ; and on Tuesday these efforts led to the assembling of a very influential body of the old leaders of the liberal party at the Albion Hotel. Robert N. Phillips, Esq., M.P., presided. The leading gen tlemen on the late eleotion committee of Messrs. Bright and Gibson were not present. A rather long and animated discussion took place, in the course of which the importance of such a movement being made at the present time, and carried out with vigour was dwelt upon and fully admitted. A hope was expressed that it might lead to a re-union of the whole of the reformers of the city ; and ulti mately a resolution was unanimously agreed to appointing a deputation of some of the most influen tial gentlemen present to wait upon Mr. George Wilson, late chairman of the Anti-Corn Law League, torequest him to assist in carrying out the object of the meeting. It is understood that the deputation bad aninterview with Mr. 'Wilson on Wednesday, when he agreed to join the movement. The want of union and co-operation amongst reformers in Man chester was never more lamentably felt, and there is reason to believe that the present effort will result in an organisation having the elements of greater strength and unanimity iu it than any that has existed in Manchest e r for general political purposes during many years past. LISKEARD. A public meeting, convened by a placard headed " No New Reform Bill without the Ballot," was held in the Town Hall, on Wednesday evenine e . • The hall was filled with a large and respectable audi ence. Mr. Bernard Austis occupied the chair. Mr. WHITEHURST said, that he was sent there by the Ballot Society to look after the electors of Ls keard, whom they looked on as wandering sheep. Lis keard had sent one of the most eminent advocates of the ballot in the person of Charles Buller ; they had sent a neutral in the person of Mr. Crowder, and now they sent an opponent in Mr. Grey. Ho hoped, however, that Liskeard would be " in at the death" of open voting. Mr. Whitehurst concluded a long speech by some severe remarks en Lord Palmerston, as the " Tory head of the Radical party," and denouncing the liberal members for their truckling and subserviency to the minis . ry. The CHAIRMAN put to the meeting the following resolution :—Reso!ved, " That this meeting desires to express its satisfaction at the announcement in the Queen's speech to Parliament, that the attention of the legislature will be called to the laws which regulate the representation of the people, with a view to consider what amendments may be safely and beneficially made therein ; and this meeting, at the same time, desires to record its I conviction that no extension of the franchise will be satisfactory unless accompanied by the vote by ballot." This resolution having been carried by acclama tion, the Chairman then proposed, "That copies of the resolution be foi wa.rJed by the chairman to Lord Palmerston, to R. W. Grey, En , the mem ber for the borough, and to T. J. Agar Robartes, Esq., and N. Kendall, Esq., memb:. , rs for this divi sion of the county." Mr. ISAAC propoieil, as an amendment, to omit the name of Mr. Grey, as being unworthy the con fidence of the borough ; and this amendment being carried, the resolution as amended was unani moody agreed to. BODMIN. A public meeting Ofthoedectors and other inhabi tants of Bodtnin was held on Thursday, the Gth inst., to promot3 the cause of the billot and. re form. The Guildhall was filled shortly after seven o'clock, a majority of the electors of the borough being puerent. Captain S:rge-.nt was unanimous'y called to the chair. _ _ Mr. CHAS. COLEMAN proposed a resolution to the effect " that the meeting desired to express i s satis faction at the announcement in the Queen's speech that the attention of Parliament would he called to the laws which regulate the r, presentation of the people, with a view to consider what amendments may safely and beneficially made ti erein ; and this tne3ting desires at the same time to record its con viction that no extension of the franchise will be satisfactory unless accompanied by the vote by ballot. " Mr. IRELAND (chairman of the Bodmin Reform A. , isociation) seconded the resolution. Mr. WIIITEIIURST, who attended as a deputa tion boat the Ballot Society, supported the reso lution, which was next put. t ) the meeting, and car aied unanimously. It was resolved that the chairman forward copies of the proceeedings to Lord Palmerston, anti to the members for the borough and for East Cornwall. PENRY N. - -.- A public meeting t.) promote the adoption of the ballot in the new Reform Bill, was held in the Penryn, on Friday evening, the Bth inst. Mr. James B. Read (mayor of Penryn) took the chair. When several speeches had been de livered, it was resolved unanimously, " That, while the meeting was gratified by the announce ment of a Reform Bill in the Queen's Speech, they at the same time desired to record their conviction that no extension of the franchise will be satisfactory unless accompanied by the vote by ballot." Copies of the resolution were ordered to be sent to Lord Palmerston and to the borough and county members. RAILWAY INTELLTGENCE. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST. The Secretary of this company states that the accounts for the past half-year haying been sub• rAitted yesterday to the directors, they have decided upon recommending the payment of a dividend for the half-year ending the 31st Dec. of 31. 10s. per cent. on the consolidated stock of the company— making the total dividend fortho year 1857 amount to 6 per cent. GAWLER AND KAPUNDA. It appears that the South Australian House of Amenably has authorised a loan of 180,0001. for the construction of a line between Gawler Town and Kapunda. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE. The directors of this company have just issued their report. It states that the accounts of the half year show a total revenue of 310,719/. from all sources, a total expenditure of 154,2331., and a ba lance of net profit of 156,4851., which, with the balance of 1,0461. from the prev i ous half-year, gives a total sum of 157,531/. available for interest and dividend. The debenture and other interest charges against the half-year amount to 65,6751., the canal annuities to 13,7341., the dividend on debenture stock to 3501., th e dividend on the 61 . preference shares to 23,6861., the dividend on the 31 per cent. preference stock to 5,959/., and the dividend on the 6 per cent. preference stock to 26,1601., making a total charge against the above net balance of 157,5311. of 135,5641., leaving 21,9071. available for dividend on the ordinary stock of the company. The directors recommend the proprietors to pay, after providing for the whole preference dividends and charges, a dividend of 108. per 100/. on the or dinary stock of the company, or at the rate of 1/. per cent per annum ; and to carry forward a balance of 2,4651. The debenture debt of the company falling due on the Ist Jan., 1858, has boen paid off or re newed under circumstances, upon favourable terms, though the directors have been compelled to renew loans falling due at 3i or 4 per cent., at rates of 4i and 5 per cent. The company's traffic receipts show an increase for the half year of 22,148/. The local receipts of the company fo r passenger traffic have been 69,9001., as against 64,844/. in the correspond ing half year of 1856. The receipts for foreign pas senger traffic have been 26,2391. as against 16,040/. in the corresponding half-year of 1856, 115,sowing a total increase in the passenger traffic of 345/. The increase on the goods traffic has been 4,8101., I, and upon the mineral traffic 1,020 1 . The working expenses of the railway show a net increase of I 13,8961. The maintenance and renewal of w or ki ng stock cost 28, 342/., against 22,18 G/. in eorrespondir half of 1856.

Not. withstanding the small amount of dividend pro posed to be declared this half-year, arising —0)31 ox. ceptional causes, it will be 'satisfactory to remind the proprietors that the net profit of the year end ing the 30th of June, 1853, was 175,0841., while that of the year just ended is 305,8311., showing an increase of 130, 7471.

LIEUTENAAT-COLOATEL SIR H. RA WLINSON, K.C.8., ON THE GOVERNMENT OP INDIA, REPRESENTATION OF REIGATE. Among the numerous candidates for the represents tion of the borough of Reigate, vacant by the death of Mr. W. Hackblock, are Sir H. Rawlinson, the Hon. J. W. Monson, Mr. Wilkinson (the late member for Lam• beth). and Mr. Doulton (Doulton and Watts, Lambeth). On Wednesday evening Sir Henry Rawlinson addressed the electors at the Reigate Town-hall; and, after dis• cussing the various topics incidental to the address of a liberal candidate referred to tho all-absorbing subject of India. Sir HENRY said that having gone through the various public questions in a brief manner, he now came to what he considered to be the great topic of the day. (Applause ) It area such a vast and important question that he could not undertake on that ()nation to examine it in detail. He could not go into the question of the origin of the in :sent mutiny, or of the means which had been taken to suppress it. He could not discuss the present state t,r future prospects of the country. It was a far more serious question than any our rulers ever disposed of. He had been fully impressed with that opinion from the commencement, and had done everything he could to induce others to adept that opiuion. It was evident to him that the outbreak never was what is called a military mutiny ; it deserved more the name of a national movement. It must be remembered that a military mutiny was a mutiny for military purposes; but the sepoys had been acting for others, and hail been. used as instruments for carrying out the designs of those parties, the object being no doubt to drive us from the c )untry. That was the real state of things. It was no mutiny of a few soldiers, but e far graver question—that of the security of our Indian empire. Now the electors were aware that e till was about to be brought into Parliament with a view of providing for this Brea, difficulty which now stared u! in the face, by transferring the government of India from the B sat India Company to the crown. The East lediate government was carried on, as tbey were aware, by what was called a double government. No one could be more sensible than himself of the evils of the double govern ment— (bear)—afthough be was one of the directors, buG placed there by Government, and not by the share. holders. He assured the meeting that if any proposed change could bo shown to be to the advantage of India, rot one of the directors would raise his voice against it. (Cheers.) The object of the directors was to improve India for the benefit of England, and if that object could be Wetter attained by the crown, then, in God's name, let the Crown have it. But he doubted very much if the people of England had as yet begun to realise the importance of the step which was about to be proposed. lie doubted if the taxpayers of England were aware that in taking that liability upon there they took upon themselves the liability of 100 millions sterling. There would be a difficulty, too, in trans. ferring East India establishments to the Crown, because they were on a different system. But the great danger was from the increase it would give to the power of the Crown—a point upon which Englishmen were ever most Jealous. When the bill was proposed in the last century it was proposed entirely on the consideration that it was of the utmost danger to place an overwhelming influence in the hands of the Crown. (Cheers.) He was quite ready to admit that means must be devised for pre. venting that evil, and for throwing open the pa. tronage to the country at large ; and in that case he would go hand-in-hand with the Government in carrying through the measure. It had been said that it would make no difference to the people at large whether the Crown or the company had the patronage, because the military services would be recruited from the ranks of the middle classes, as they were at present. Tbat Wall the opinion stated in an article of the limes—an articles intended to support the Government measure, but it omitted a most important question. The hard-working people would no doubt be of the middle class ; but the sugar plums would be reserved for the upper class. The great benefit of the present system was that, after a man entered the Indian service, he arrived gradually to the t p ; but in the other system he might work for twenty or twenty-five years, and then have the sugar-plum taken from his mouth, and put into that of some titled favourite of the Horse Guards. (Cheers.) That was really an important consideration. As he bad before observe:!, he was by no means an advocate for the present system of double government. He knew all its evils, and wished to do everything in his power to simplify it. It was only those who had been mixed up with the system who could thoroughly appreciate the great evils which arose from that system, by which even in an emergency, on the receipt of a despatch, it took two months to get an answer to send out to India. Such a system was destructive to everything like vigour in. administration, but that was the system which Pariament inaugurated in the first instance, and which hal been kept up ever since by the acquiescence and approval of Parliament . Their eyes were at last opened, and he hoped they would in their wisdom—the wisdom of Parliament being, as the meeting was aware, omnipotent—he hoped they would devise some means of making the government of India more efficient without placing the power in the hands of the Crown which would be looked upon as so dangerous te the rights of Englishmen. (Cheers.) There were many other points relating to India, not merely in reference to the present mutiny and the prospect of quelling it, but in reference to the development of the resources of the country, upon which he would not then dilate. He would refer, however, to the great question of introducing Christianity into that country. It was a point of extreme difficulty, because feeling was on one side, and what had been hitherto supposed to be the interest of England on the other. No Englishman could hesitate about making Christians of the Hindoos if poesibls ; but when it was found that a belief on their part that such was our intention brought about the mutiny of the army—because the pretext which was made use of by the Mahommedans to induce them to rise was, that the British government was endeavouring to subvert their religion—it was evident how dangerous it must be for the government to lay itself open to proselytise the Hindoes. Anything that could be done without the direct influence of government should be done, and be had no doubt would be done, and every one who bad a voice in the direction of affairs in England would promote it; but he strongly condemned the inauguration of any great measure for that object being s upported by the state. (Chs.) The rest of Sir Henry Raw linsou's address turned upon general topics. DESTRUCTION OF BARON NI€HOLSON'S PICTURE. Most of it o bN u it r eodr r t e hin a , d pa e o r; have, no doubt, become familiar with a very clever painting, which has for some time r la tr s t s ty c i a n s g e t been o D . s t e r x e h e the at features urcorner nearlyo f W e everyl !t ng known public character. Shortly after ten o'clock this . morning a quantity of s m ok e was observed within the case, and very shortly afterwards it was discovered that the timbers in one of the flues of the house, on the , outer wall of which the picture was fixed, had taken fire, aml that the flames were rapidly making their way to wards the picture. In a very short time a crowd was collected, and for some time no person appeared to think of the necessity of destroying the glass to save the picture until too late. Before the glass was removed. the painting had received great damage, and on its being exposed to the air the canvas caught fire, ant ere the flames could be extinguished the picture Was nearly wholly destroyed.

THE LEVIATEIAN.—Yesterday, a short time before the tido had reached its highest, three of the hydraulic machines aft and three forward were set to work to move the vessel nearer down the ways: She moved in crlic!, ehoit slips with the utmost ease, the gauges of tie few hydraulic machines in use seldom averaging mere than 10 cwt. to the inch, and each slip taking place at sheLt intervals and with an almost total absence of vibration. Iu a c,imparatively short time a distance of 13 feet aft and 3 feet 5 inches forward was acconi pliAed, the a't:r part showing such a tendency to elide away on the least pressure that it was impossible to reguate the ship's movements with the same relative accuracy a 3 heretuf le.
