Dam THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 30, 1860. 11118 DAY'S MARKETS. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—; This Day.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Wightman, Crompton, and Hill.) THE QUEEN V. HATCH—EXPARTR PRATT, AN ATTORNEY. In this case, in which Mr. Edwin James on Monday last obtained a rule on the part of the Rev. Mr. Hatch, calling upon Mr. Walter Feake Pratt, an attorney of the court, to answer certain matters contained in the affidavits of the Rev. Mr. Hatch, Mrs. Hatch, and Mr. Onslow, the gover nor of Wandsworth House of Correction. Mr. Macaulay now showed cause against the rule, and proceeded to say that the affidavit of Mr. Pratt had clearly explained that all he had done was done from motives of delicacy towards Mrs. Hatch, in consequence of a letter written by Mrs. Hatch to Mrs. Plummer, in which she makes a most distressing account of the state in which she and her family was placed. Her husband had done something, she knew not what ; he had left his situation, and was gone away she not where, and imploring that some mercy should be shown towards her husband, as she and her family were in a state of star vation. It was necessary, the learned counsel said, for him to state the position of Mr. Pratt, who was a young man only 28 years of ago, and had assisted his father, a convey ancer at Wootten Bassett, but did not follow his professsion having received a commission in the 7th Lancashire Rifles, but having married a lady ho resumed his profession, and had been appointed deputy town clerk and other offices at Wootton Bassett. Mr. Pratt knew very little of the criminal practice, who, no doubt. had been employed from the circumstance that his father was the family con veyancer of Mr. Phimmer. The circumstances of the case have been painfully before the public, and after the letter of Mrs. Hatch to Mrs. Plummer, Mr. Pratt came to town, the warrant had then been issued, and out of delicacy to Mr. Hatch, he went to Taylor, the officer, at Wandsworth ; and as he learned from him that there was every reason to believe that Mr. Hatch was in the neighbourhood, he, out of commiseration,' and from pure delicacy, went to Mrs. Hatch, and told her that if she would state where Mr. Hatch was, and he would appear and make some apology, he (Mr. Pratt) would do what he could to put an end to the prosecution. Upon this Mrs. Hatch said she must send for Mr. Onslow, and upon which Mr. Pratt said he would call again the next day. He did so call, and there saw Mr. Onslow, and repeated the same proposal, but Mr. Onslow said it could not be settled then, and it was afterwards arranged that he should see Mr. Hatch at Ridley's Hotel that evening. He did see Mr. Hatch, and told him if he would make an admission of guilt, and accompany him and Mr. Pratt to Mr. Plum mer's and make an apology, the matter might be arranged. Mr. Hatch refused to make any admission of his guilt, but said he hoped they would deal leniently with him, as he must have been mad, or was mad. Mr. Pratt had acted throughout on account of the distressing letter of Mrs. Hatch, and without any improper motive on his part. The Lord Chief Justice said Mr. Macaulay had said enough. If the letter of Mrs. Hatch had been before the Court when the rule was moved for, they would certainly not have granted the rule. It was clear that the attorney had not been guilty of any misconduct of which the Court could take notice; it might be that the attorney, on seeing the letter had acted injudiciously, but not in a manner to make him liable, as an officer of the court, to punishment. Mr. Edwin James (with whom was Mr. Garth) argued at some length that the rule ought to be made absolute, as that part of the affidavits in reference to the interview with Sir G. C. Lewis by the chaplain of Wandsworth Jail, in which the Secretary of State had stated he had heard from a person of high authority that Mr. Hatch had made a con fession to Mr. Pratt had not been fully announced, and that, in fact, Mr. Pratt had left the Secretary of State still under the impression that a confession had been made. The Lord Chief Justice said that Mr. Pratt had abun dantly answered all that was necessary. The letter of Mrs. Hatch ought to have been read when the rule was moved for, the application ought never to have been made at all, and the rule must be discharged. The other judges concurred.—Rule discharged, but with out costs. EXCHEQUER COURT. (Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Martin, Bramwell and Channell.) GENERAL BEATSON V. BEENE. The Lord Chief Baron said the court were of opinion there ought to be a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial on all the points moved for by Mr. Edwin James.—Rule nisi accordingly. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day) OLD COURT. The adjourned January session of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning before the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Recorder, Sheriffs, and Under-Sheriffs. The grand jury having been sworn, The Recorder proceeded to deliver his charge. The learned gentleman remarked that the number of prisoners awaiting trial was not above the average for that period of the year, and that it was matter of congratulation that the number of persons charged with serious offences was very small. There was but one charge of murder, viz., that of a female named Green, who was indicted for causing the death of her illegitimate child. Undoubtedly, crimes in cluding violence to the person generally were certainly on the decrease, but he was afraid this particular crime was not only not decreasing, but was on the increase. There are two rather curious cases of libel to be tried, but the ma jority of the charges contained in the calendar are not of a very serious character. The learned gentleman concluded by stating that he did not .know that there was any other case likely to present the least difficulty, and he should therefore dismiss them to the performance of their duty. There aro the names of Si prisoners entered on the books of the gaol of Newgato for trial, namely 74 males and seven females. The judges who will preside are the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Justice Wightman, and Mr. Justice Willes ; and the aldermen upon the rota for attendance are Messrs. Wilson, Sir John Musgrove, Salomons, Sir H. Muggeridge, and Allen. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.,) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF ROBBERY AND DESERTION AGAINST A SERGEANT OF THE 21ST REGIMENT OF FOOT.—William Reid, a sergeant of the 21st Foot, now lying at Aldershott, was placed at the bar before Mr. Beadon, charged with stealing a silver watch, and two gold seals and key, of the value of £lO, the property of Mr. James Johnston, of 24, Greek-street, jeweller. Inspector Grant, of the C division, said on the case being called on, the prosecutor, the prisoner's uncle, was not in attendance, but there was a further charge against the pri nor—that of desertion from the 21st Foot, and that his name was the Hue and Cry, produced. Sergeant Cook, of the C division, said he told the prisoner there was a full description of him in the Police Gazcette, but he made no reply to the charge. Joseph Bentley, 55 C, said he took the prisoner into cus tody on Saturday for the felony, and he admitted it was true respecting the watch, and his being a deserter. His aunt had previously told him (Bentley) that he was a deserter, and the regiment was now lying at Aldershott. The prisoner said he would admit being a deserter, and had deserted about a month ago. Mr. Beadon ordered the prisoner to be committed on the charge of desertion. CORN EXCHANGE. Only moderate supplies of English wheat were on offer in the country markets held on Saturday. For fine samples there was a fair demand, at full quotations; but other qualities were a dull inquiry. The barley trade ruled tolerably firm. In all other kinds of produce the transactions were on a limited scale at previous currencies. Dull advices continue to reach us from New York ; but throughout the continent grain and flour have commanded full prices. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad amount to 520 quarters ofwheat, 4,747 barley, 1,317 oats, 22 beans, 60 peas, 275 tares, 8,173 linseed, 2,781 rapeseed, 80 sundry seeds, 95 sacks and 3,475 barrels of flour. The supply cf English wheat received fresh up, to-day, coastwise and by land-carriage, was only moderate, and the general quality of the samples was inferior. The few good and fine samples on offer changed hands some what steadily, at fully last week's quotations; but low and damp qualities met a dull inquiry, and late rates were with difficulty supported. Sales were with difficulty effec'ed even for starch purposes. There was a full average quantity of foreign wheat on offer, ex granary. The demand was inactive, but no change took place in the quotations. Floating cargoes of grain met a dull inquiry. There was an improved demand for barley—the supply of which was limited—at in most instances an advance in the quotations of fully Is per quarter. Malt moved eff slowly, yet prices were supported. Although the arrival of oats has been limited, the oat trade was in a sluggish state at last week's currency. The few beans on offer were disposed of at full quotations. Peas were tolerably firm, but not dearer. There was a moderate sale for flour at full prices. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

In some instances the best Scots and crosses realised 5. per 81bs. _ From the eastern districts we received about 1,600 Scots, crosses, &c. ; from the north, 400 short horns ; from other parts of England, 420 of various breeds; from Scotland, 500 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 65 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was again limited. Nearly all breeds were in good request, at very full prices. The best Downs and half-bred, produced quite Os 6d per 81be, and a good clearance was effected. Calves, the supply of which was only moderate, changed hands steadily, at fully last week's currency. The best veal was worth 66 10d per 81bs.

SCANDALOUS ROBBERY OF A SAILOR. - Catherine Bushby and Mary Healey, two masculine women, who hare been frequently in custody for robberies, disorderly conduct, and assaults, were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a silver watch, a £lO Bank of Eng • land note, two sovereigns, a cap, two handkerchiefs, and a now black coat, the moneys and property of William Ben jamin, a sailor. The prosecutor said he was lodging at Green's Sailors' Home, East India-road, Poplar. On Saturday he went to the Tower-hill Shipping-office to receive his wages. He was paid £l5. He laid out some money on clothes and ether things. He had about £l2 loft, and had two or three glasses of grog, and became intoxicated. He was regularly stupified, he believed hocussed by some one. He was aroused by a police •constable in a house of bad repute, and missed his coat, cap, watch, handkerchiefs, and mosey. Everything was taken away except his waistcoat and trousers. He could not tell how he got in the house. He knew nothing of the prisoners, and was not aware that he had ever been in their company or had drank with them. A police-constable of the A division produced the sailor's coat, which had been pawned by the prisoner Bushby. Other evidence was gone into, from which it appeared that the prisoners had fallen in with the sailor, plied him well with drink, and inveigled him into an infamous den in Bluegate-fields, Shadwell, where they plundered him. The ,seaman received £l5 in the morning, and he had not a farthing in the evening. Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoners in consequence of the absznce of the pawnbroker who received the prosecutor's watch. The Madrid journals of the 23d says that it was by mistake that the death of M. Ordonez, an ex minster, was announced ; he is, however, repre sented to be dangerously ill. A letter says : " Peace continues to be much talked of. It is said that communications on the subject have been made to Marshal O'Donnel from Madrid, and that the latter, though anxious to carry the war to a successful issue, is ready to sacrifice his own opinions on account of considerations of a high order based on the present state of Europe." Seventy members of parliament claim this session to be wholly excused from serving on election committees, on account of being more than 60 years old. At the ball at the Tuileries, on Wednesday night, the Empress Eugenie wore a dress composed of pink tulle bouillonne, with a white tulle•embroidered overskirt, embroidered with gold, looped up with large pink roses ; coiffure of pink roses and diamonds. ....._... ~---.~.~.~~.z 1857.

PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY MORNING. The Union Steam Navigation Company's mail packet Dane, Commander Hoffman, from the Cape, Dec. 22, St. Helena 31, and Ascension Jan. 4, ar rived lost night. She has a full cargo of wine, ivory, skins, wool, ostrich feathers, &c., and among her passengers are Capt. Stoll, of the Madras army, and Lieutenant and Adjutant Bond. Great preparations were made at the Cape for the expected landing of Sir George Grey on the 15th of December from the Celt, which brought a letter from his Excellency, stating his intention to come out in the January mail steamer. The net sum subscribed for a statue of the Go vcrnor amounts to £650. The Government has enlled for £20,000 on de bentures for public prisons. Three hundred contractors' men are engaged on the railroad between Cape Town and Wellington. The station for passengers is to be on the Parade, and for goods near the South-wharf. A contract has been taken for extending a line of telegraphic wire, 21 miles, from Cape Town to Simon's-bay. Sir John Wylde, Chief Justice for 28 years, died at. Cape Town, aged 78. Colonel Rose, R.E., has been unfortunately drowned ; he went out to succeed Mijor-General Bolton, who, in consequence of this misfortune, and of the serious illness of Colonel Dill, continues in command. The German Legion on the frontier is to receive no more pay after March 31. An agricultural exhibition took place 75 miles from Cape Town, at Caledon, on the 29th of Dec., when there were 523 entries of produce ; 2,000 sheep were exhibited besides tobacco, dried fruits, wheat potatoes, soap, salt, honey, and beeswax. The im plements were chiefly American. The next exhibi tion—February, 1861—is to be at Worcester. The vine disease has appeared at Paarl. The general yield will be below the average. The Caffres, late servants to the farme rs, move in bands and steal sheep and cattle. At Alice, James Negan was charged at the Cir cuit Court with shooting a Caffre while robbing his crops. The jury returned a verdict of "justifiable homicide." One ironmonger at Graham's Town sold in two weeks 1 cwt. of iron wire to the coloured ladies of that district, who now patronise crinoline exten sively. A mail from Port Elizabeth for Graham's Town was lost in the Caega, which, with other rivers, was unusually swollen in November. Chevalier du Prat has received a letter from Mr. Anderson, the traveller, who has failed to reach the Canene, but has discovered another river, 250 yards broad, flowing eastward. At Cape Town beef and mutton had fallen to 6d. per lb. Butter averaged 2s. 9d. ; cheese, ls. 4d. ; white rice, 4d.; brown, 3d.; and Cavendish tobacco, 2s. 6d. At Graham's Town, meal, 465. ; Albany, 425. ; maize, 235.; Caffre corn, 305.; salt, 13s. ; potatoes, 1 le. per 100 lb. ; fresh butter, 2s. 2d. Since May, 1858, 2,511 emigrants have landed in Table-bay, and 2,342 in Algoa-bay. The passages ranged from 52 to 86 days, but the John and Lncy had been out 108 days, when, just previous to the departure of the Dane, at noon December 22, an American ship hove in sight, with 180 emigrants belonging to the John and Lucy, which was wrecked near Cape St. Roque on the 23d Septem ber. She had a cargo of railway iron and salt. All her passengers were conveyed safely to Rio Grande. The Jalawar arrived at the Cape on the 16th of December, after a passage of 75 days. Her Majesty's steamer Pioneer left Simon's-bay for China on the 23d of November, and the Pearl on the 9th of December. Her Majesty's ship Boscawen had been surveying along the coast, but was left with thenermes at anchor in Simon's-bay. The Himalaya was expected shortly with the 10th Regiment to relieve the 2d, which is ordered to China. The transport Scoresby, with 336 discharged men from the East India Company, sailed from the Cape November 29 ; the Tartar, with 208, Decem ber 12; the Maha Ranee, 384, on the 15th; and the Therese, 394, and the Cospatrick, 464, on the 18th: The brig Favoritan has landed in Table-bay, Captain Robertson, of the Senator, from Liverpool for Bombay, abandoned in a sinking state, Nov. 4. At St. Helena the repairs of the house formerly occupied by Napoleon I. are progressing rapidly under the direction of Captain Masselin, R.E. The ship Alnwick Castle, 64 days from Calcutta, left St. Helena for London, December 19 ; the Bombay, 62 days from Bombay, for Liverpool, December 18; the Earl of South Esk, 91 days from Shan• ghai, for London, 22d ; the Ravensworth, 110 days from Foo-chow-foo, for Cowes, 29th; the Multah, 64 days from Bombay, for Liverpool, 28th ; th© Geneva, 14 days from the Cape, for Lon don, 29th; the Queen of the Clyde, 79 days from Calcutta, for London, 29th ; the Morris, 110 days from Manilla, for Liverpool ; the Cathe rine, 32 days from Z inzibar, for London ; the Augusta, 43 days from the Mauritius, for Cork. On Dec. 24, Mr. Lamb, of her M9jesty's ship Pluto, brought to St. Helena a bark, name and na tion unknown, which had been seized on the coast of Africa with 867 slaves on board.

Since the doors of the Star Chamber were closed we have had no secret tribunal in this country, and it is rather late in the day to attempt a revival in any form of an institution so obnoxious to the feelings and dangerous to the interests of a free people. Lord John Manners has, however, re solved to make the attempt. H e has given notice that to-morrow week he will move for leave to bring in a bill enabling the Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes to hold its sittings with closed doors. This effort of the noble lord in favour of an obsolete and mischievous practice is perhaps not altogether surprising. As a poli tical archreologist he looks with a kindly eye on medieval institutions, while as a nobleman ho natu rally resents the popularising of a privilege hitherto restricted very much to his own order. I3oth as a high churchman and a staunch conservative, in his sight the Divorce Court is simply an abomination, and there being no chance of its suppression, he would fain reduce it to silence. No doubt there are some who will sympathise with the noble lord in his crusade against judicial publicity. The friends of ecclesiastical despotism, for example, are the na tural enemies of a lay tribunal that presumes to decide on what they regard as a religious question. Mr. Bowyer frankly confesses that as a Catholic he is on principle opposed to the Divorce Court, and as it cannot be abolished he is of course for reducing it to silence by all means. We are far frarn main taining that there is nothing whatever to be said ii favour of such a course. On the contrary, were it ever expedient for public justice to be administered with closed doors, the Court in question would no doubt supply the strongest reasons for such an exceptional practice. Its revelations are generally far more dis gusting than in s t ruc ti ve. They bring into repulsive prominence the vices and follies that in our ordinary social life are most carefullyconcealed ; they present continually the miserable spectacle of broken faith, bleeding hearts, and desolate homes; of fraud, cruelty, meanness, and revenge in the most intimate and sacred relationship of life; of union without love, or passionate affection turned to bitterest hate. The Court is, in fact, a living satire not only on our vaunted domestic life but on our national civilisa tion, suggesting that home is a mockery, matrimo nial fidelity:a delusion, and mutt* it affection a dream. No right•minded man can take any pleasure in finch revelations, or desire them to obtain any extended circulation. The cynic may, indeed, rejoice at the ample material thus supplied for pointing his usual moral ; but every generous and manly heart will mourn at the dark side of our social life which the Divorce Court reveals. It must be remembered, however, that this is not peculiar to one Court. We do not expect courts of justice to exhibit the best side of human nature. Laws are made for transgressors, and the whole machinery for enforcing them presupposes offences and offenders. Revelations quite as saddening and repulsive as those of the Divorce Court are made in other courts as well. But this is no sufficient ground whatever for surrendering that publicity which reason and experience alike prove to be one of the most efficient safeguards for the impartial administration of justice. There may be incidental evils connected with this publicity, but they are as nothing compared with the graver mischiefs and dangers which secret tribunals directly tend to pro duce. Every good institution, every healthful prac tice is liable to abuse, and the open doors of the court rof justice may now and then, especially in criminal trials, be turned to injurious account. The details of the cases are sometimes unfit for publication, and often, when not absolutely impure, would be much better curtailed if not altogether suppressed. Publication in the newspapers is not a necessary guarantee of justice, like the openness of the Court. Wherever a responsible reporter for the newspapers is present there is what may be called a potential publication, which answers some of the most important ends contemplated in the printing of reports of courts of justice. No doubt many of the cases reported are most unsuitable for family reading, and if generally perused would do more harm than good. This is peculiary the case with the proceedings of the Divorce Court. But the evil cannot be met by legislation ; it must be left to the correctiue action of public opinion and the discre tion of the press. We cannot deny the central principle of liberty and reverse the basis of our ad ministration of justice, because of the trifling inconveniences that may attend it. Imperfections and evils are inevitable in all human institutions, but they are reduced to the lowest amount and are of the least formidable kind in those of a liberal type. Publicity does not create the evils that shock the tender susceptibilities and offend the refined taste of sickly moralists ; it simply reveals them, and a full knowledge of the disease is half the cure. Under free institutions the vices of ou; pril ate and the abuses of our public life, instead of being suppressed, are brought into the light of day. But the publicity that reveals and seems to exaggerate them supplies also the most direct and powerful cure. The morbid elements, being brought to the surface, are in a fair way of being thrown off by the healthful action of the whole system, instead of preying; in secret on its I tal cent res. Politi c al valetudinarians may, indeed, prefer the fatal quietude of decay to the rude vigour end irregular activity of popular health. But every freeman knows that the evils complained of are only the signs of life, and that at the worst they arc nothing in comparison with the deadly mischiefs that flourish within the silence of closed doors, and grow to gigantic proportions under the dark shadow of arbitrary power. The Pharisees of public life are always scrupulously nice in externals, but the occa sional turbulence of publicans and sinners is infi nitely preferable to the dead calm of whited sepulchres. In a word, the short-sighted ostrich policy of concealment can serve no good purpose in any department of public life, least of all in the ad ministration of justice. Let us know the worst by all means, and we may then strive to mend and gradually work towards a better state. The argu ments now urged against the publicity of judicial proceedings are precisely the same as those formerly adopted against the freedom of the press. Where the press is free its liberty may sometimes degene rate into license. Where justice is administered with open doors its proceedings may sometimes tend rather to disgust than to edify. Who, however, that understands the true principles of liberty would on this account place a legislative bar on the freedom of the one or the publicity of she other? Such restrictions never can succeed; and if they could, they would prove injurious just in proportion to their success. The only ar guments in their favour rest on the false assump tion that ignorance is virtue, and childish imbeci lity better than manly strength. The noble words spoken by CromwelPs Latin Secretary to the friends of Censorship in the days of the Commonwealth equally apply now to the enemies of publicity. " I cannot," says Milton, " praise a fugitive and cloistered virtue, unexercised and unbreathed, that never sallies out and seeks her adver,sary, but slinks out of the race where that immortal gar land is to be run for, not without dust and heat. Assuredly we bring not innocence into the world, we bring impurity much rather; that which purifies us is trial, and trial is by what is contrary. That virtue, therefore, which is but a youngling in the contemplation of evil, and knows not the utmost that vice promises t•her followers, and rejects it, is but a blank virtue, not a pure." Besides, even the revelations of the Divorce Court are by no means an unmixed evil. No doubt they touch ns in a tender part, but it is also a vital one, being essential to the strength and security of the social fabric. They bring into prominence one of the worst features of modern life—the false and commercial estimate of the marriage relation which has growingly prevailed of late years , especially result reflected in the ly res amongst l thebetter tragic classesofm society.irror of We Court.

But to others surely such examples arc likely to operate as a useful warning. On the ground, therefore, both of principle and expediency, we protest against Lord John Manners's attempt to close t he doors of the Court, and we are glad to see that Mr. Edwin James has given notice that, on leave being asked to introduce the proposed mea sure, he will move the previous question.—Doily News.
