LAW lIITELLIGENCE—This Day. BAIL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Lush and a Common Jury.) PEARSON V. EARL. Mr. Hawkins then made an ample apology, and the jury, under his lordship's directions, found a verdict for the plaintiff of £5 ss. COURT OF DIVORCE. 'Before the Lord Chief Justice of England, the Lord Chief Baron, and the Judge Ordinary.) RYVES AND RIVES V. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. In this case the plaintiff, Lavinia Olive Ryves, sought to prove her legitimacy. The Duke of Cumberland in 1764 married a lady named Olive Wilmot, and the issue was a daughter, who was generally known as the Princess Olive. The princess afterwards married a foreign gentleman named Serres, a prisoner of war, and the petitioner claimed to be the legal issue of that marriage, and, therefore, of the blood royal, as the granddaughter of the Duke of Cum berland, brother of George 111. D.. S.nah, the counsel for the plaintiff, here stated the allegations in the petition. The Lord Chief Justice said the marriage took place be fore the passing of the Royal Marriage Act, and, therefore, if the first marriage was legal the second one could not be. Dr. Smith thought there were certain exceptions. The Lord Chief Baron could not agree to such a propo sition, because, if so, the Royal Marriage Act would become a nullity. What the plaintiff has to prove is that the mar riage of her mother received the Royal assent, or that there were some cases in which members of the Royal family could marry without the Royal assent. The Lord Chief-Justice said, supposing a decree in his case was gained, it would be contrary to the decree she had already received, because if the marriage with the Duke of Cumberland was proved, no marriage - of his descendants could be legal without the assent of the Sove reign, which the petitioner had not yet proved was given to her mother's marriage. The Attorney-General, on the part of the Crown, con tended that the whole question must be taken together. They denied the whole of the allegations in the petition. After some discussion, it was decided by the Court that both questions, namely, the validity of the two marriages, should go to the jury, an Dr. Smith must amend the' record for that purpose. Dr. Smith then proceeded to enter into the details of his case, and is doing so was directed to prove that King George 111. had married a person named Lighfoot pre vious to his marriage with the Queen Charlotte. The Lord Chief Baron said there was no need to go into such a question, and he thought it would be indecent to do so, because it might possibly raise the question of the right of succession of King George the Fourth. Dr. Smith then proceeded to enter into the particulars of his case, and to read from a variety of documents, copies of which were handed both to the learned Judges on the bench and the jury. The case excited the greatest interest in Wesminster Hall, as, besides the claim to royalty, the financial part of the matter amounts to a claim of over three millions of money, The case will last for some days. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. West then called Mary Van de Velde, 11, Trentham-terrace, Mile-end, who said—l saw an advertisement in the Times newspaper, and in consequence I wrote to the Cavendish Institution, and received by post a prospectus. In consequence I went to the Cavendish Institution, and there saw both the pri soners. I asked them the address of the widow lady who advertised. Wattez said on paying ss. I should receive the address, and I paid the ss. to Smith, and Wattez then gave me a receipt for the money. Wattez then gave me the address, "Mrs, Duquene, Rue St. Guillaume." I wrote to the address, and my letter was returned about three weeks afterwards through the Dead Letter-office. I after wards went to the Cavendish Institution. I asked how it was my letter was returned, and Wattez said the lady had returned to England, and that ho had not heard from her as yet. They said they would give me the lady's ad dress when they received it. I got no fresh address of the lady. I went there again in about a fortnight, and-only saw Wattez there. Ile then gave me the address, "Mrs. Abladt, care of Mr. Shearing, Herne Bay." I wrote to that i a n n s d t i received i n n o a n a s n w s w e r e r t . l o w w h r i c o h t e l a r l e e c t e t v r, e d d i a r e i c e t t i t n a g r i n t d t d o r e t shse, stating that they had no other vacancies on the books except one of a widower who wanted a governess to in.. struct his children in music. I got no other addresses. I asked for my money back, and they refused, I told them I ought to have it back, as the address they gave me was false. - - By Mr. Lewis—l read the prospectus. It states on it that situations are not guaranteed. I did not pay an addi tional fee on the second address being given me. The ss. I piid was a registration fee. They said they would con tinue to give me addresses till I got a situation. Miss Adelaide Shearing, daughter of Mr. Shearing, baker, 9, Mortimer-street, Herne Bay, said—Last Easter Monday the prisoners called at our house, and went into the refreshment room to have some refreshment. I waited upon them, and when they came out they wont into the shop and spoke to my father. I followed them into the shop, and Smith asked my father whether there were any nice walks about the place. My father directed him to Reculver's and Herne-street. They then had tea, and they said the tea was so nice they asked him to exe3ute an order. My father said he could, but that they could get the tea as well as he could in London, but Smith said that coining from the sea side it would be far inferior. They afterwards left, and Smith said, as he was going away, " Good night, governor, I will send you an order for the tea." On the following Friday she re ceived a letter from Mrs. Abladt, care of Mr. Shearing, of Mortimer-street, Herne Bay. The next morning 10 letters similarly addressed came, and altogether fifty-seven came, which were returned to the Post-duce. Amongst the letters was one addressed to my father, asking him for half-a-pound of tea, and for any letters for Mrs. Abladt to bo forwarded to Mrs. Hansford, 8, Old-street, St. Luke's, the letter being signed " George Abladt." I have no knowledge of any one at Herne Bay of the name of Abladt, and no person of that name has ever resided at our house. By Mr. Lewis—We keep a refreshment room, but do not have letters left at our house to be called for. By Mr. West—We have had no lodgers this year. Marian Shaw, 20, Gough-street, Gray's-inn-road, said-- I know the prisoners. I have seen Wattez write. The letter produced is in Wattez's handwriting. Dy Mr. Lewis )y Utllllo ig shave, but I have ugod the This was an action to recover compensation in damages for an alleged assault by the defendant, who pleaded not guilty. Mr. Huddlestone, Q.U., and Mr. Lord were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. H. James for the defendant. Mr. Huddlestone stated the case. The plaintiff was the editor of a paper of high respectability, called the Newark Ricord and Notts Chronicle, and the defendant was a brewer, maltster, and town councilman at Newark. The assault complained of originated, as he was given to understand, out of some strong political feeling which prevailed in the neighbourhood where the parties resided. The defendant was a much younger and stronger man than the plain tiff, and the outrage which he committed was of the raoA brutal character, and resulted in a painful complaint which confined the plaintiff to his room for some, time. Mr. Augustus Wilson Pear son , th e pl a i n tiff, was exa- mined by Mr. Lord. Ho said that on the 3d of March last as he was returning from the post-office he was overtaken by the. defendant, who seized his arm with a strong grip in his left hand. He said to witness" Take off yourspectacles," but before ho could do so h 3 knocked them off. Ho then struck him a tremendous blow on the cheek bone, which he followed up by other blows. He succeeded in extricating himself from the defendant, who immediately afterwards kicked him in a delicate part of the person, and he suffered severely from the effects of the injury he re ceived. He ran for protection to the Baths, and escaped from the prisoner. His Lordship—What time did this take place?—About twenty minutes to 12 o'clock in the morning, my lord. His Lordship to Mr. Hawkins—Surely, after this evi dence you, are not prepared to proceed in this case—it only remains for the jury to assess the damages. Mr. Hawkins said that on the morning the assault was committed a paragraph containing most offensive matter was inserted in the Newark Record, reflecting on the cha racter' of the defendant in a private matter, and totally irrespective of any political question whatever. He had only seen the paragraph a few minutes before, and acting under a feeling of irritation at what he justly regarded as a most unfounded attack on his character, he was betrayed into an act of violence which he now much regretted. Mr. Huddlestone having consulted with the plaintiff for a few moments, said that his client, not being actuated by any vindictive feeling, would accept an apology, and a nominal verdict of five guineas, and he was instructed to state that he did not know the offensive matter in question had any reference to the defendant. name of Bramah. I applied at the Institute, and got a situation at Barnes' in the Haymarket, and left, and was then sent to another, but did not take it, as it was as governess to the daughter of a gentleman who wished his daughter instruct--d for nothing. ,I know Wattez's writing by seeing him write. The two letters produced are written by Wattez, though they are not alike. I used the name of Shaw 7 Bramah because I wished to pass as the sister of a Miss Brainah. Wattez told me at the office that he was the secretary. I knew that Wattez was secretary under Smith, who was the proprietor. I had been in the habit of going every day. I paid 55., and got the situation in the Haymarket, and stayed two nights. By Mr. West--I saw Wattez described on the prospec tus as the secretary. I was first led to go to the insti tution through seeing an advertisement in the Telegraph. I told Smith that I had seen an advertisement of a situa tion, and Smith told me to look at the rules, and I did so, and I then paid 55., and he gave me the address "Madame Barns" in the Haymarket. He did not tell me what situa tion it was. The first address I had was Madame iuquene, St. Omor, France. I wrote to that address, but got no answer. The letter was nct returned. I went to the office again, and then they gave mo the address of " Madame Barnes." I went there and was engaged as bar maid. I only remained two nights, and left, as the place was not fit for a respectable young person to be in. I went to the institution again, and he gave me the address of the add de la Regence, at the corner of Windmill street, but no barmaid was wanted. I afterwards got the addresses, but no situation. By Mr. Lewis —I knew the cafe was a night house when I applied there. When I called at the widower's respect ing the situation I stopped to tea, as he said his daughter was coming home.. I have now got a situation at a luncheon bar. The prisoner only gave ma an address at cue private house. Mr. West—That concludes the one case ; but I have several other charges to prefer. Mr. Lewis —At the present stage I decline addressing your worship at present. The prisoners were then remanded. Mr. West—lf bail is taken I hope it will be substantial bail, as there has b een great difficulty in finding them. Mr. Lewis—l hope bail will not be fixed at a larger amount than they can find. Mr. Knox—At present I will not entertain the question of bail. Painful Suicide of a Shareholder in the Bank of London. An inquiry was held by Mr. W. J. Payne, the coroner for the Duchy of Lancaster, last night, at the Bowyer Hotel, Manor-street, Clapham, touch ing the death of Mr. James Christie, aged 66 years, a gentleman who was alleged to have committed suicide in consequence of losses incurred through the city panic. Mr. Thomas Christie said that the deceased was his father. He resided at No. 141, Manor-street, Clapham. Up to within the last three weeks he was in good health and spirits. Since that time he became very depressed in conEe quence of having lost a great deal of money through the panic in the City. He was a shareholder in the Bank of London, and be held a number of shares in it. He was always talking about his loss, and as he was a shareholder in the bank he did not know the full extent of his loss, and that preyed upon his mind. He used to go daily to the bank for the purpose of seeing whether the doors of it were going to be closed. Be did that in consequence of find ing the shares depreciating. He had a great many shares in the bank, and he was afraid of a further eall, and he did not know how to meet it. Wm. Oakerp, 2, Chip-street, said that on last Wednesday morning, about 10 o'clock, he was pass ing No. 141, Manor-street, when a servant ran out of the house and called him in. Upon proceeding upstairs he found the deceased lying on his back on the floor of his bed-room. He was dressed in his drawers and night-dress, and be was quite dead. A piece of broken bell-rope was banging from the pole of a French bedstead. Witness saw a lady standing near the deceased. After some further evidence, the jury returned a verdict of " Suicide whilst in a state of temporary insanity." MARKETS.---This Day, - - MARK-LANE. A very moderate supply of English wheat was received fresh up to our market to-day. The condition of the pro duce was tolerably good. The demand for all qualities was in a sluggish state, at about Monday's currency. With foreign wheat the market was moderately supplied. All descriptions were in slow request, yet prices were with out quotable change from Monday. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate demand, on former terms. The supply of English barley on sate was small—of foreign, moderate. The trade was quiet, at late rates. Malt changed hands slowly at late currencies. Oats were in good supply and slow request at about late rates. The trade for beans and peas ruled firm at full quota. ions. Flour was in fair demand, at late price's'. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

The official report of the Budget for 1867 has been distributed to-day in the Corps Legislatif. It fixes the ordinary expenses of the year at 1,523 million francs, 1 millions less than the amount requested. The ordinary revenue is stated at 1,617,375,877 francs. The resulting surplus of revenue over expenditure is thus 944. millions of francs, of Which 90 1-5 millions have been carried to the ordinary Budget. In the extraordinary Budget the expenditure for which authority was requested is reduced by 1,225,000 francs. The expenses amount to 132 i millions francs, showing a surplus in the extraordinary Bud get of 150,000 francs. French Theatricals. IrA trENs.—Shakspere is the prevailing epidemic of the French stage. "Hamlet" and "Othello" at the Italian Theatre ; the "Merry Wives of Windsor" at the Li,rique ; "Richard III." at the Porte St. Martin; and "Macbeth" supping full of horrors at the Odeon. The divine " Wil liams" triomplze sir route la ligne. M. Paul Faucher, draped in the caoutchonc cloak which renders French critics im pervious to ridicule, drops our bard's divinity in his last feuilleton, and serves him up as the " immortal Williams." His colleagues parade their ignorance of our language with amusing pertinacity, and affect to - understand and appreciate Shakspere, which is as impossible for them as it wore for an Englishman not to be bored b y Racine or g Corneille. But l e t th at pass. Non ra ionazn da lor, ma guarda, e passa to the It a li ens. It was not without some mis givings that we saw Anzleto on the niche. How could the noble Prince of Denmark talk to tho gravo-di ers about Yorick in Italian, or give his di rections to the grave-diggersg n the lingua Toscana 7 The reveren ce f or Shak sperisso ideeply rooted in an English breast that it cannot brook any foreign meddlers with his glorious creations. But they who went to scoff at Amleto last week remained to pray, for they of the present generation may rest assured that they have never seen Hamlet played with such energy, such touching pathos, as Rossi has infused into the role. The ultramontane actor has carefully studied and collated every line of the original, and has mastered those difficulties which it is given to hinds of the highest culture-only to understand and appreciate. Parole, parole, parole; " Words, words, words." These are but words, but ho who uttered them threw passion and pathos and anguish into their intonation, which brought down upon him a torrent of applause. It were needless to particu larise any of the many beauties strewed so plenteously thiough the role—they are excellently summed up by M. Theophile Gautier, who says of Rossi's noble bearing, " You might make an album in the style of Retsch's ' Faust,' by sketching his attitudes in the principal scenes, and these simple outlines would, serve to convey the hidden meaning of the drama." And who is this Rossi ? He passed almost unobserved some years ago under the effulgence of Mdme. Ristori's genius. He was the Paolo who read Galiotto to Francesca, when "Per piu fiate gliocchi ci sospinse. Quolla lettura, e scolorocci it vise." But his great genius then paled its ineffectual fires be fore that of the great tragedienne. It shines brightly now " with purest ray serene." Even had Mdme. Ristori descended to take the part of Ophelia„ she must have been content with but a moiety of the admiration which was so cordially and lustily bestowed upon Signor Rossi. He intends to go through the Shaksperian repertoire, it appears. " Othello," " Coriolanus," "Lear,' , "Macbeth," are in his programme —to surpass his Hamlet will be impossible. Before leaving this theatre for the Lyrique let us congratulate M. Bagier, and equally the French Government, on the tardy justice about to b© ren- 1 dered to his claims. A subvention of 100,000 f. is to be ac corded to him—but a ninth part of the sum granted to the French Opera; but he must be thankful for small mercies and all frequenters of this theatre will rejoice to hear Of this alleviation of the heavy burthens imposed upon him by the exorbitant pretensions of Italian artists. LYRIQUE.—Can any one give any reason for the unjust oblivion of Balfe's charming "Merry Wives of Windsor ?" There was a trio between Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page and their fat friend Falstaff, which should have rendered his opera immortal. It was, moreover, in high favour in Paris some 25 years ago ; some of us may even remember having danced Falstaff quadrilles at Tivoli and Ranelagh. Even in Germany, "Die Lustigen Weiber von Windsor" was as popular as Balfe's "Bohemian Girl." Yet a heavy German composer of the terribly classical kind, one Herr Nicolai, has composed an opera on the same subject, and has prevailed upon M. Carvalho to bring it out at this theatre. Of the opera, all that can be said is that the music is dull, heavy, and German ; but happily there is very little of it, and a great deal of very amusing dialogue —in short, the Merry Wives of Windsor, Falstaff, Dr. Caius, Shallow, Slender, Sweet Anne Page, Master Fenton, are all very faithfully represented, and the concluding scene at Herne's Oak will make you laugh almost as heartily as the comments of the Shak sperian critics on "Le Chene de Horne." Mlle. Dubois ( and Mme. St. 17rbain are the Merry Wives, and pitilessly, indeed, do they torment Ismail, who has stuffed himself out into a very presentable Falstaff. The learned in music lore assure us that Nicolai is endowed with great genius ; we can only the more regret his having bestowed so little of his store upon us in this work. The habituds of the Lyrique are crying out again for "Faust." If Mme. Car valho should remain obdurate, they will sing the chorus at her gates, and claim their rights Le fer a la main —Le fer er-er it la main. PORTE ST. MARTIN.—Even the nudities of the "Biche aux Bois" have been exercised by the manes of the divine Williams. Our old friend, that hunchback bugbear of English history, "Richard the Third," was " untimely ripped" from the womb of " Williams" some ten or fifteen years past. The playgoers of that day may remember how admirably Ligier personi fied our deformed King. M. Moues drama was then laid on the shelf, where it has lain perdue until last week, when the cahiers were taken down and dusted and served up afresh to satisfy the prevailing Shaksperian taste. M. S6jour has shown as little respect for history as for the Swan of Avon. He has cut out characters from other plays, and transformed them as perversely as nature de formed our quasimodo King—who by the way is repre sented by the historian Sharon Turner as an Adonis. Sir Stephen Scroop is taken from " Henry the Fourth," and served up as " Scropp." M. Deshayes makes a great deal of this part, worms himself into Richard's confidence, and plays the spy without forfeiting his right to be held a chivalrous knight. Tallied° has a thankless task in succeeding Ligier—for when a well-graced actor such as he leaves the stage the eyes of men are idly bent on him who enters next. Yet for those who had not the good fortune to see that great arti t in his best days, Tail lade will be a " perfect Richard"—" bloody, bold, and reso lute," attending, as Sam Weller has shown him, to " busi ness before pleasure, as Richard said when he murdered the King before he smothered the babies." His death scene is horrible, almost as good as Kean in the last act, and quite equal to Ligier. M. Sejour has taken so many liberties with history that Englishmen will scarcely be able to sit out this play with any patience ; but for the indigenous frequenters of the Boulevard du Crime, who aro as little conversant with our history as with their own, "Richard Trois" is perhaps destined to bo a favourite. With all due respect to theruling goddesses with zoneless waists, the fair vota ries of Terpsichore, with whom une miss indecente est de rigueur, you might suppose the corps de ballet to be the very last corporation in Christendom to which his worship the Mayor of Nanterre would apply for a Rosiere. Yet as the wisest of Kings found a lily amongst thorns —un giglio le qine—the search would not invariably be futile. And as ornithologists tell us certain birds make their nests in crocodiles' teeth, so does virtue "se nicher" at times under the ballerina's jupe boufante. The two candidates for the Prix Monthyon this year are a &cur de Charite and a danseuse of tho Porto St. Martin. All honour to the latter young lady, whose qualifications for the palma nobolis are said to be indisputable. Indeed, without detracting from the merits of the rival candidates, those of the danseuse are entitled to precedence, caiteris paribus, for her profession has exposed her to temptations which can never have assailed her competitor.

Medical aid was immediately procured, but without success, as he expired two hours after. The 1% ew Free Press of Vienna states that Mar shal Benedek, on his departure from Vienna to assume his command, was received at the station with enthusiastic cheers ; amongst the persons pre sent to witness his departure were many ladies, to one of whom, who presented a wreath of laurels ornamented with the Hungarian colours : "I shall keep this wreath with especial care," he replied, " and I shall make every effort in order to be able one day to wear it worthily ; provisionally I con sider it not as merited, but merely as an offering." These words were received with loud cheers. The voting for two medals of honour for the French Exhibition of the Fine Arts in the present year took place the day before yesterday at the Palace of Industry, but no artist obtained an absolute majority. A second vote will take place on Monday next. The receipts for admission to the race-course and stands on the day of the Grand Prix amounted to nearly 124,000 fr. The Brothers Davenport are on the point of leav ing Berlin, after a short but not very profitable sojourn. Count de Chambord has sent a thousand francs to the French committee for succouring the wounded on the field of battle. THE IRON TRADE.—BIRMINGHAM, May 31. Thsre was a large attendance cf the ironniasters of South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire in the Exchange here to-day, but the business transacted was nominal; that branch of the trade of this district is in a very bad state, and no prospect of improvement is visible. At many of the works they are not more than half employed, and producers of all but the very best makes of marked iron would gladly accept orders at prices much below those of quarter-day. PROCLAMATIONS OF OUTLAWRY.—At the Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion-square, yesterday, the following defend ants in action were proclaimed, some of them for the first time : —Kedgwin Hoskins Gough, R. Crowe, J. P. Greatrix, Thomas A. Saunders, S. Kingchurch, Richard Pattison, Claude Lucas, Samuel J. Pittar, P. Angestin, Cosmo Nevill, Cecil J. Johnson, Henry Onsloxv Curling, Fred.

C., Examiner of the Court of Chancery, was run over by a Hansom cab yesterday afternoon in Chancery-lane, and seriously injured. The unfortunate gentleman, who is in his 78th year, and who has been for some time in a bad state of health, was taken at once to King's College Hospi tal. It was hero discovered that his arm was broken in two places, and that there ware injuries to the thigh and head, the latter being of a most dangerous character. Mr. Parker is not expected to recover from the effects of the accident.
