The Maldon Liberal and Independent Club cele brated its seventh anniversary on Thursday evening with a dinner in the Public Hall. The chair was occupied by Sir T. B. Western, M.P. for North Essex, who was supported by Colonel Western, Mr. C. Buxton, M.P., Mr. Greene, Q.C., the Rev. B. Luard, Mr. Mechi, Mr. R. J. Bagshaw, Mr. T. S. Western, the Mayor of Maldon, Mr. J. A. Hard castle, M.P., Mr. J. G. Rebow, M.P., Mr. G. Courtauld, Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, and Mr. A. Trollope. After dinner the CHAIRMAN, in proposing " Pro sperity to the Maldon Liberal Independent Club," and, alluding to the Reform Billof the late Govern ment, said it was, in his opinion, a moderate mea sure, and regretted it was not adopted, because it would have settled the question for many years. It had been said—he believed by Lord Derby—that the Ministry were unwise in introducing a measure of Reform so early in the Session, and especially , before they had felt the pulse of the House of Com mons ; but he believed that whenever they might have introduced their bill it would not have passed. The most fatal blow was struck by members on the Ministerial side of the house, and it was to be peculiarly lamented that many of them took the view of the question which they did. They had a right, however, to their owu opinions, and he had no doubt that they acted conscientiously ; many of them, if not all, were supporters of the Liberal party, and although the course which they took upon the Reform Bill was to be regretted, yet he was not without hopes that they would again be found in the Liberal ranks. Now we had Lord Derby and his friends in power, but he must say that he had not much confidence in them, looking to the manner in which the Ministry was composed, and recollecting that Lord Derby had on former occasions failed to gain the confidence of the country. He thought, how ever, that the Liberal party was bound to give the present Ministers a fair trial, and not to throw any opposition in their way. Mr. T. S. WESTERN, in returning thanks for the toast of his health, remarked whether the Tories would remain iu office by doing Liberal work, by which means alone they could stand in the teeth of an adverse House of Commons and an adverse feel ing in the country, or whether they would owe their speedy decline and fall to attacks from without, or a process of " happy despatch" from within, in any case Liberal outsiders had some consolation in see ing and knowing that already one of their most sagacious followers (Mr. Henley) had sounded the note of alarm, and had already given significant proof of the causes of their probable shipwreck. He thought there could be no question as to whether honour or honesty demanded the introduc tion of a Reform Bill, and he was of opinion that the late Government could not have pursued any other course than that which they took after the treatment which their Bill met with at the hands of the House of Commons. Mr. GREENE, Q. C., proposed "the Liberal Mem bers of the House of Commons." Mr. BUXTON, M.P., responded, and observed that, although we were under the dominion of a Conservative Ministry, still he believed the strong Liberal feeling of this country would make itself felt ; and when the time came—as come it probably soon would—for the Liberals to bring back with triumph their own Ministers to sit upon the Trea sury benches, it would be found that they would go back with more power and more facilities of doing good to the country and carrying out a truly Liberal policy than had been the case for several years. (Cheers.) " The health of Mr. Gurdon Rebow, M.P. for Colchester," followed. Mr. Sergeant BALLANTINE, in a speech, in the course of which he announced himself a candidate for Colchester, proposed " the Liberal electors of that borough." " The health of the Chairman," proposed by Mr. HARDCASTLE, M.P., and a few other toasts of local interest, closed the proceedings. The Home Missionary Society of Philadelphia has just closed its 30th year, during which the ma nagers have been unceasing in their efforts to relieve the wants of the suffering poor of the city. Thou sands have been efficientlyrelieved by the timely aid rendered to them through the missionaries of this institution. At a recent meeting the managers elected Mr. Emanuel H. Tolland as the General Agent, and they recommended him to the favour able notice of the benevolent, and solicit a generous response to his appeals in behalf of the sick, suffer ing, and dying under their care.

To-day Uncas and Distin, our two Danebury Derby nags, were cantering freely, and then were taking a gallop of over a mile, but there was no pace. Tom Brown also sent Avron, another Epsom candidate of ours, along for upwards of a mile, and he did it well. Vauban and Lady Hester merely trotted about. We noted Apsley, Archimage, Black Prince (by Voltigeur), Caucasus, The Duke, Fairfield, Harpenden, the two-year-old Honesty, Hurunui, Ines, Lecturer, Lady Rose, and several others in good work. Pantaloon and Copenhagen again schooled the yearlings. RICHMOND. Strathconan took Plaudit and the Proctor two smart canters and a mile gallop this morning ; and Rose, accompanied by Violet, followed Newland in similar work. Elvire, Louisa, and Blairgowrie went a mile and a half. The rest of our horses were at steady exercise, including Fat Bob, who has recently arrived here from Middleham. and is under the care of Charles Wintringham. Roderick Random has been fired. Zapateado and Limber Magna have left here. The latter has gone " over the border." Lord Zetland has engaged John Troussell as - stud groom ; he had a first-class certificate from James Watson, to whom he has been a trustworthy and thoroughly efficient foreman for years. The Princess of Wales, with Prince Albert Victor and Prince George, and attended by the Honourable Mrs. Stoner and General Knollys, left Marlborough House yes terday afternoon for Sandringham. Her Royal Highness the Princess Mary Adelaide and his Highness the Prince do Teck arrived on Thursday evening at the Duchess of Cambridge's residence in St. James's Palace, from Vienna. The prince and princess and the Duchess of Cambridge dined with the Duke of Cambridge in the evening at Gloucester House. The princess's birthday is on the 27th inst., when the anniver sary will be celebrated with the customary rejoicings at Kew. THE TRADES' REFORM DEMONSTRATION.—Last evening upwards of 300 delegates from the various trades, friendly and temperance societies, assembled at the Sussex Hotel, Bouverie-street, Fleet-street, in relation to the forthcoming reform demonstration—Mr. Geo. Potterin the chair. The secretary said that, to provide against any contingency, he had that day written to Lord John Man ners, the Commissioner of Works, for permission to meet, if necessary, either in Hyde-park or the G reen- p ark, and in about three hours after the depatch of his letter he had received a very full and courteous reply from his lordship, appointing Monday next to receive a deputation from the committee on the subject. With respet to the procession be , it would be formed in St. James's -park, and would headed by about 150 members of the farriers society on horseback. At present there is a hitch in respect of the place where the trades unionists and others are to assemble after the march through London. Tho right to meet at Cremorne is disputed, but the secretary to the Trades Reform Demonstration, in reply to a statement that no permission had been obtained from the owner or occupier of Ashburnham grounds for their use for the Reform meet ing, has written a letter, stating that he had received such permission from Mr. E. M. Adams, the agent of the occu pier, and the letter adds that the committee intend to main tain their right to meet in the Ashburnham grounds. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) MILFORD V. MILFORD. This was a petition presented by the wife, praying for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery and cruelty. The evidence in support of the allegations in the peti tion disclosed a series of acts of ill-treatment of the grossest kind. The petitioner herself was examined to support the cruelty, and said she was induced to institute the proceed ings for the protection of her life. Her husband, she stated was a person of a very violent temper, and very frequently when angry with her he would strike her in the most savage manner. O❑ one occasion he quar relled with her and took up the poker and threatened to dash her brains out ; she, however, got out of the way, and, thinking her life in danger, she communicated with her friends, telling them of the treatment she was receiv ing from her husband. Oa other occasions she stated he would discuss in the presence of herself and friends the question of the Ivauty of several young women with whom he was on terms of the closest intimacy. He had continu ally thrown things at her, and in the year 18 , 33 he at tempted to suffocate her with a pillow in the bedroom in consequence of a quarrel about the removal of the portrait of a lady from the house. Evidence having been given to support the evidence given by Mrs. Milford, and also to support the other alle gations of the petition, Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., addressed the Court on behalf of the respondent, and contended that the most exaggerated accounts had been given to his lordship of the various acts of cruelty upon which it was sought to obtain a dis solution of marriage. With respect to the account given of the quarrel when it was alleged the respondent took up the poker and threatened his wife, the evidence of the ser vant maid, which had been given to the Court to substan tiate it, clearly showed that there was no intention on the part of Mr. Milford to injure his wife. He was not there to deny that language of a very objectionable character had been used that could not be contradicted, but what he desired to illustrate was that angry words broke no bones. With respect to the quarrel when the poker was taken up, the evidence again went to show that it could not have been of such a violent cha racter, as Mrs. Milford herself the neat morning went to her husband and told him that unless he expressed his sorrow for what he had done she would inform his friends of his conduct. He did not imagine the Court would at tach that importance which the petitioner did to that quarrel because the matters that occurred shortly after showed that the wife did notiaelieve that her husband actually intended to carry out his threat. Ho did not deny that frequently quarrels arose between the parties, and that the husband used language that was not at all proper for a gentleman, but then that circumstance would not entitle the petitioner to a dissolution of her marriage. The story relative to the alleged suffocation with the pillow was also greatly exag gerated, and the fact that the petitioner remained the rest of the night with her husband in the bedroom showed that she at the time did not apprehend any danger to her life. The petitioner had parted from her husband in the most friendly manner; and it was not till she got into the hands of other parties that the present suit was thought about and finally brought forward. His Lordship said the adultery was undoubted, but with respect to the cruelty ho should fully consider the whole of the evidence before giving judgment. HOTINE V. HOTINE AND MOORE. This was a petition presented by the husband, a fish monger, carrying on business in Upper-street, Islington, for dissolution of marriage, ou the ground of adultery with the co-respondent Moore, who formerly carried on busi ness at 17, Gracechurch-street, and latterly at 28, Love lane, City. . _ After hearing the evidence the Judge Ordinary said it was quite clear the husband knew how matters were going on, and he therefore dismissed the petition. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Justices Mellor and Lush.) FENLIN V. LINGARD. Mr. Bingham Daly, on behalf of the defendant, moved to set aside a verdict which had been obtained by the plaintiff, on the ground that the same had not been pro nounced equitably, in so much as his client had been taken by surprise. From the statement of the learned counsel it appeared that the plaintiff had brought an action against the defendant, to recover a sum of £24, in a county court. Before the day appointed for the hearing of the cause his client gave notice that it was his intention to have the case moved to a supreme court. The usual form of giving that notice had been resorted to, and although he would have preferred that a writ of certiorari had been moved for, yet the proceeding was regular. Notwithstanding, however, the plaintiff went to trial, and the result was a verdict in favour of the plaintiff. He con tended that the verdict should not be permitted to stand under the circumstances. The learned counsel having commented upon the importance of the question legally considirod, expressed a hope that the Court would grant the rule. Mr. Justice Lush said there was no doubt the more regular coarse would have been to have moved for a writ of certiorari, but he did not consider that that irregularity was sufficiently important to deprive the defendant of the benefit of the present application. The rule was granted. GORDON V. FOSTER. Mr. B. Daly moved for a rule in this case, calling on the plaintiff to show cause why the defendant should not be allowed to record his pleading in the case. Thefacts were not of any general interest, but the legal question involved is important, inasmuch as it raised the question as to whether a party who had accepted a bill in part payment of an account could enter into an agreement with the party who gave the bill to allow the payment of it to stand over on the consideration of receiving 10 instead of 3 per cent. upon it, and then sue the party who gave it in part pay ment. Their Lordships granted the rule. SPIRIT OF THE PUB LIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The abdication of the Emperor Maxi milian and his retreat from Mexico to Europe are once more announced, and the statement is so in trinsically probable that we need not hesitate to ac cept it. It is probable, indeed, that the necessity for this step, as revealed some time ago, has never been really lessened, though the Emperor appears to have struggled with much tenacity against the im pending extremity. lle seems to have believed that he could discharge his mission if he were adequately supported, but circumstances combined to render that support impracticable, and the result could not evaded. The Empire of Mexico was a French Pro tectorate, and it collapsed when the protection was withdrawn. The abandonment of this enterprise does credit to the sense, though it may do some vio lence to the feelings, of Napoleon 111. It was not in Mexico that the attempt miscarried, but in the United States and in France itself. The armed re sistance of a native faction to the Imperial or any other Government was a matter of certainty, nor was this opposition, in fact, carried beyond the ex tent to be anticipated. The particular faction ejected from power by the advance of the French fell back upon the natural alternative of insurrec tion, but the rebellion would have proved no mate rial obstacle to the establishment of the new Admini stration had the original conditions of the ex pedition been maintained. If A mer i ca had been indifferent and France fa voura bl e t o th e new Empire, the mere brigandage perpetuated by Juarez and his would have been of little consequence. sno a n t e the later civilisation would have prevailed, but from the very time that the United States, relieved partizans would ~., a tone distractions of their own Civil War, took e r had of menace, public opinion in Franco . enterprise. pro nounced itself distinctly against gave him new t o Juarez ga The prospects thus opened From a suddenlybecame hopes and procured him fresh baffled and despairing fugitive I :ns from the Impe a successful patriot, winni- °according to report, rialists, and gaining ground, t be supposed that he every day.

The people pointedted the enterprise, and the Americans French detested —tfon.ofe it. It could have been accomplished at avowed condemned favour able, but no more than the calculated cost had the conditions been it would have been impossible to prosecute it against the obstacles arising both at h om e and abroad. So Maximilian, after struggling with courageous resolution against his fate , at length acce pts it, and retires from the field. This step, if there were no new party to the quarrel, would simply replace Mexico in that condition of anarchy and barbarism from which the European expedition had rescued her for a time. The French actually succeeded in giving security to life and property, not only in the capital but in many of the adjacent districts ; a few of the high roads were really opened for traffic, and as much progress had been made in political organisation as could reasonably be anticipated. That more was not achieved was owing, not to the strength or popularity of the in surgent faction, but to the growing misgivings of the French, the protests of the Americans, and the discouragement of the Imperial Administration. What little, however, was done, would now, ex cept for a new intervention, be quickly undone. Abandoned by the French, Mexico would fall once more into the hands of native comp ot the prize of power. Juarez, if he co uldeiorssefize intothe ogffioveeer,nemndentt,howeeouwlhdomp fro m po s insurrect i on es ee d would change places with him as athtrhieoatstd Juarez rebels.

We are told that the United States will now adopt the party of Juarez, ju s t as the French adopted that of his adversaries ; that they will assume the Protectorate which the French vacate, and re-enact the scenes of the last three years with this simple change in the characters of the piece. We have not yet any sufficient authority for the fact, but it is not improbable nor in any way to be deprecated. We only wish the declaimers about Mexican " independence" to observe that in.. dependence is regarded as utterly impossible by all parties alike. Either the Mexicans must be left to rob and murder as before, or some strong Power must interfere to take up one faction and put down the other. The French took up Miramon and fought Juarez ; the Americans will take up Juarez and figl - At Miramon. If any spark of principle could be ima gined as lingering in a Mexican party, we might rather rejoice at the promotion of the Liberals and the defeat of the Absolutists ; but though the former of these titles is claimed by the Juarists, and the latter is attached to their opponents, it has hitherto been impossible in practice to give one of these fac tions any preference over the other. Their rivalry was that, not of political parties, but of jealous brigands. Both grasped at power by the same means, both employed it for the same purposes, nor did either of them make the least approach to the duties of responsible Governments. But though we ca.a hardly say that the Americans will have a more re spectable set of clients than the French, they will have far greater facilities in conducting their cause. They must needs intervene, as the French did, and by force of arms ; but they can do this with greatx, s r ease, to better purpose, and with fewer impedi ments. The intervention will be popular with, the nation, instead of unpopular; it will be cheap, in stead of costly ; it will violate no "doctrine," and provoke no protests. The Americans can, and pro bably will, do what the French both could and would have done under more favourable circum stances. They will enter the country as the frienda of one of its factions, they will hunt the other down, and they will thus render civilisation pos sible, and transform the community into an orga nised State. They will have this advantage, too, in their proceedings--they will seem less like vaders than their predecessors ; they will preserv e the name and form of a Mexican Republic, a n d probably leave a native Mexican as its ostensible head. But the measure itself will be the same as before. It will be identical with that which all Europe saw to be inevitable at the period of ,the ex pedition which we ourselves declined to prosecute, but which France adopted, and Spain was ready to adopt. It will be intervention for the government of a people who have proved utterly incap able of governing themselves. It will be the establishmeut of a foreign Protectorate in the place of a nativ e Administration, nominally . independent, but ex - p n t d he vi w ol o e r n l c ci e a ; tanladrgaes, we wish ther ss this will be f ori ex.- pressing only th Americanse anarchyadva n tage a o and bargain and speedy success.

ACCIDENT TO A QUEEN'S MESSENOEIi. —A Copen hagen letter states that the weather has of late been very boisterous in the Baltic as well as in the Great Belt and the Sound. The postal line between Copenhagen and Berlin and London is by way of Lubeck. The Trave, upon which river Lubeck is situated, had become of late so swollen, and the current had become so rapid, that the steamers from Denmark were obliged to land the passengers and the mails at Travemunde. At a few miles from Lubeck the road to Travemunde lies across the Trave. There is no bridge, and carriages and horses cross upon a raft, which is pulled through the water by a strong iron chain attached to windlass on either bank• I The Duke of Sutherland has arrived in Paris from Italy on his way homo. The Countess of Shaftesbury and the Ladies Ashley are expected to leave Wrest Park, Beds, to-day for town, after spending a few days with the Countess Cowper. 155 155 155 152 150 150 150 140 140 140 140 136 135 105 101 100 100 i
