ONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, The Mone TWELVE O'CLOCK. and y Market presents symptoms of activity, of a hardening tendency in the rates. The in quiry is rather large, ullich is principally due to numerous engagements connected with the Indian trade being due to-day. First class bills are nego tiable at 81 per cent., but this quotation is only for exceptional cases. The withdrawal of a large l.aillount of go ld yesterday from the Bank of Eng and and the adverse tendency of the Continental "changes operate prejudicially, and bankers are gain manifesting increased caution. -AA the Bank of England yesterday £203,000 rotas withdrawn for Paris and the sum of £23,000 'was re ceived, chi e fl y i n so irereigns. visio henry C roysdill has been appointed pro nal official liquidator of the Ottoman Company, Limited.

Two o'CLocK. The Stock Exchange Markets have exhibited an unfavourable appearance, and prices for all descrip tions have mostly receded.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Common Jury. ALEXANDER V. ALEXANDER. This was a suit by the wife for restitution of conjugal rights, to which the respondent pleaded that he was un able to live with her in consequence of her intemperance and filthy habits, that she behaved with cruelty towards him, and that her general conduct was bad. Dr. Spinks and Mr. Browne appeared for the petitioner, and Mr. Francis for the respondent. By the form of pleading the case of the respondent was proceeded with first. Mr. Alexander stated that ho was a tobacconist in busi ness at James-street, Brighton, and that he was married to the petitioner in 1830. The week after the marriage they had quarrels, and they lived most unhappily together. He had become acquainted with her character before the mar riage, and offered her £5O to release him from his engage ment, but she refused, and threatened him with an action for breach of promise.' They were members of the Jewish persuasion, and be represented her conduct to the chief rabbi, but it was without any effect. At last a deed of separation was executed between them in 1857, but notwithstanding the petitioner was in the habit of coming to his house and causing a disturbance, the effect of which was that his business fell off considerably. In cross-examination the respondent said that he had been in business sixteen years, and did not sot up with his wife's money, for he had to support her before the mar riage. He denied that he ever used violence towards his wife. He believed he was at present losing by his busi ness, and although he had several small houses in Brighton they were mortgaged. Elizabeth Wright said she had lived at different times in the service of Mir. Alexander, and she went there first in 1855. They quarrelled whenever he mentioned the name of a Mr. Seymour, and Mrs. Alexander would fly into a violent passion. On one occasion she saw her throw the things on the supper table at him, and on another she would have struck him with a poker, but that he wrested it from her. She Was a laundress and washed for both parties, and could speak to the filthy habits of Mrs. Alex ander, and to the best of her belief she was drunken in her habits. Mary Ann Spencer, who had been a shopwontan of Mr. Alexander after the separation, proved to the petitioner having come to Mr. Alexander's and created a dis turbance. Henry Davis, a neighbour, gave evidence to the same effect, but added that the respondent was in the habit of useing ironical and sarcastic language to his wife, such as was calculated to irritate a woman. Another witness was called to corroborate the evidence as to the petitioner creating disturbances at her husband's, which closed the petitioner's case. For the defence the petitioner was called, and denied lat her habits were those imputed to her, and said that if on any occasion she struck him, it was in consequence of his own violence. She went to the shop on one occasion, accompanied by a gentleman named Jones, with a view to effect a reconciliation with her husband, whose heart she thought might bo softened by the fact of his mother having just died. She also deposed to his general ill-treatment. Witnesses were called who spoke to acts of violence on the part of the respondent, and to his having on one occa sion thrown a pair of largo scales. She was not drunken in her habits, nor filthy, although rather untidy. The jury found a verdict for the petitioner, and the Court decreed accordingly. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—.This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Chief Justice Cockburn.) CIIARGE OF MURDER. Patrick Harrington, 77, weaver, was indicted for the wilful murder of Peter Mann. It will be recollected, from the report of the cir cumstance which has already appeared in The Sun, that deceased was the prisoner's son-in-law, and that he with his wife were quarrelling in Rosemary-lane, Shoreditch, when the prisoner interfered to protect his daughter, and a regular fight took place. The disturbance was carried on for some time, when the deceased called out "I'm stabbed," and immediately fell to the ground. A surgeon was sent for, but it was found that the wound had caused death, and the prisoner was taken into custody and charged with the murder. The defence set up was, that in what he did the prisoner only acted as a father would have done to protect his daughter from outrage. Ho denied that he was the person who inflicted the wound. The jury, however, found him guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his advanced age. The learned Judge commented severely on the conduct of the prisoner, and said, had it not been for the recom mendation of the jury, he would have passed a heavier sentence than he now intended to do. His lordship then sentenced the prisoner to 12 months' imprisonment. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE CAVENDISH INSTITUTION SWINDLE. John Wych Smith and Adolph Wattez, two men about 30 years of age, were indicted with obtaining money from a number of young women, on the representation th a they were enabled to obtain situations for them. The prisoners it appeared rented a shop, 14, Mortimer street, Regent-street, which they called the Cavendish Institution, and the mode of business was to insert adver tisements in the morning newspapers, and religious publi cations, in such terms that numbers of young women who were seeking situations were induced either to go or write to the sham institution. All applicants were informed that it was the rule of the institution that they shculd pay regis tration fee of 55., which was done in every case, and on postage stamps being left for that purpose they would bo communicated with. In a . day or two after the registra tion fee was paid, and the applicant received a letter to apply at a given address, and they would find the services of the registered applicant would be attended to. The young women wore invariably sent to places a great dis tance from town, and on aniTing there they invariably found the situation quite unsuitable for them, or that the person requiring assistants had been suited for many weeks. The whole plan was a perfect swindle, and a great many respectable young women had been victimised. The evidence was most complete, and before it was con cluded his lordship asked the jury whether they desired the case to proceed. The evidence for the prosecution ap peared to be most convincing. The jury said they had been unanimous on the matter for some time. The Recorder said that being so ho would take their verdict. The Foreman, in the most emphatic manner, said the jury found both prisoners guilty, and that they all desired him to recommend his lordship to pass upon the prisoners the heaviest--- The Recorder interposed and said he could only listen to recommendations when it was for the opposite of what he presumed the jury now intended. The Foreman said however the court would mark its opinion of the scandalous conduct of the prisoners, there were numbers of similar offences in the metropolis, and it would be of the greatest benefit to a large number of industrious and deserving persons that they should be rooted out, and thus rid society of a number of lazy, scheming individuals, who were con stantly preying on the necessities of others. The counsel on behalf of Wattez said his client was merely acting throughout as the servant of Smith. The counsel for the prosecution said that was so, and that he volunteered to give all the information he could to forward the prosecution. The Recorder said he did not think that such a cir cumstance was much to be considered when the fraud had been discovered. Mr. Metcalf said there was no doubt but that the original concocter of the swindle was Smith. The Recorder, in passing sentence, told Smith he had been convicted of defrauding those who ought to have secured his sympathy, and therefore he sentenced him to two years' imprisonment with hard labour. With respect to Wattez ho had allowed himself to be used as a guilty instrument for him, and, therefore, he should sen tence him to six months imprisonment with hard labour: POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day, MARLBOROUGII-STREET. CHARGE AND COtiNTER-CHARGE.—Mary M'Evoy was charged with violently assaulting her husband, Edward M'E voy. The complainant, whose head was bandaged, said that about one o'clock that morning his wife, who was mad drunk, threw all the tea-things at him, cutting his head so badly that he lost a great quantity of blood, and had to be taken to the hospital. It was the third time his wife had assaulted him. Police-constable 112 F said he took the prisoner into custody, and afterwards went with the complainant to the hospital, where he had several pieces of crockery taken from the wounds in his head, and the surgeon told him to attend again. The defendant said that on Saturday night her husband used the poker on her, and she was covered with bruises. She was black and blue through her husband's ill-usage. Mr. Knox said he would remand the defendant for a week, to ascertain the result of the complainant's injuries, and some persons from the houeo could attend to let him know something of the parties. WESTMINSTER. RUFFIANLY ASSAULT.—Edmund Reef() a tall, rough looking young fellow, was brought up on a warrant, charged with a ruffianly assault upon Mr. Robert Whitaker, a greengrocer. Complainant said he was passing through Ebury-square, Pimlico, on the evening of tho 16th of Juno, when a man came up to him and inquired what business he had with another man, whom he said he had been speaking to that morning, and immediately upon that the defendant came up and struck him twice in the face, and then went away. Mr. Ain°ld—What did the defendant say to you ? Complainant—Nothing. Mr. Arnold—What was the cause of his assaulting you ? Complainant—That I cannot say—l want to know. I have given him no provocation of any description. Mr. Arnold—Do you know anything of the defendant ? Complainant—l never saw him before. Mr. Arnold—Was he drunk ? Complainant—Not that I am aware of ; ho did not ap pear so. Defendant —This man comes up to me, didn't you ? and says, " What do you do that for ?" and says, " I'll give you a drive on jaw," didn't you ? and I says, "What for ?" didn't I ? Complainant—l know nothing about all this. It is all this man's own imagination. Defendant—All I have got to say is, I was drunk, and don't know anything about it. Mr. Arnold—You have this moment pretended to give some account of what he said and what you said. It is too bad that a stranger cannot walk the public streets without being attacked wantonly by a ruffian like you. You are comniitt©d for 14 days. THAMES. AMENITIES OF BLUEGATE FIELDS, SHADWELL.—Mar garet Mc Carthy, a strapping Irish woman, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with violently assaulting Catherine Morgan, an elderly woman. The parties are living in a notorious place called Blue gate-fields, Shadwell, which has always given much trouble to the police and the parish authorities. A woman nimed Caroline Warman, of Brompton, was on a visit to Mr. Morgan, and this gave umbrage to the prisoner, who said west-end ladies had no right in the east, to which Mrs. Warman retorted that the west-end ladies were not like those of the east, and were not fond of the black men. Mrs. M‘Carthy fired at this, denied the soft impeachment that east-end ladies preferred the society of the blacks to the whites, and took up a pair of tongs, with which she struck Mrs. Warman twice, but it did not appear she did much harm. Mrs. Morgan inter fered, on which the prisoner said, " You shall have it as well," and struck her a violent blow on the head with the tongs and stunned her. Mrs. Morgan was forthwith taken to a surgeon, who applied a plaster to her wound, and she appeared in court with the head-dress so universally worn by the women of Bluegata-fields after a row there. The prisoner, in defence, said that the complainant and Mrs. Warman called her a black man's favourite. Mr. Partridge—you have committed a very brutal as sault, and I sentence you to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour. A ROBBERY ON THE ROAD.—Two men, named James Briscoe and William Olding, were brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing a sack of pease, the pro perty of Mr. William Freeman, of South Oakondon, in Essex. An agricultural labourer, named Solomon Saville, in the service of Mr. Henry Cowes, a carter, was bringing up a load of peas to market this morning. He went into a coffee shop in the Bow-road to obtain some refreshment, and while ho was away a sack of pease was stolen off the front ladder of his cart. Soon afterwards the prisoners wero stopped in Devons-lane, Bromley, by Maddigan, a police sergeant, No. 42 K, with a bushel o f pease in a sack. The pease were in a sack, and the pros ecu t or came up those direcny stolen afterwardsfrom his iasnd master'si de identified fi cart.e d th e pease as a port i on of The prisoners gave a very unsatisfactory account of their possession of the peas, and they told Maddigan they wore taking them to market, and bought them of a man on the road, Maddigan said this description of robbery had boon fro. quent on the road. Mr. Partridge sentenced the prisoners to 21 days' im. prisonmeut and hard. labour. NEW ACT ON INDIAN PRIZE MONEY.—An Act has recently been passed to legalise the payment and distri bution of Indian prize money by the treasurer or secretary of Chelsea Hospital, and to amend an act for consolidating and amending the law relating to the payment of army prize money. One of the provisions will meet the Banda and Kirwee prize money, which will shortly be distributed. It enacts that " in all cases where grants of money in the nature of prize shall hereafter be made by her Majesty or by Parliament, or otherwise, to the Secretary of State for India in Council for the benefit of officers and troops of her Majesty's army in respect of captures and expeditions in which such officers and troops may have been engaged in India, such portions of the same as aro distributed in the United Kingdom or elsewhere out of India shall be received by the said treasurer, secretary, or his deputy, to be dis tributed to the persons entitled thereunto according to their respective portions under the provisions of the said recited Act (2 and 3 William IV.), and of this and every other Act amending the same." For the purposes of this Act the words officer' and troops of her Majesty's army' are not to be held to include officers and troops of her Ma jesty's European or native Indian forces. WORKING MEN'S CLUB UNION. The fourth annual meeting of the friends and members of this association took place yesterday at Exeter-hall, Strand, under the presidency of Lord Brougham. The Rev. H. SOLLY, the organising director, read the annual report, which stated that " during the past year about 1,200 persons have applied at the office for information and advice, personally or by letter ; and many thousands of copies of the so ciety's publications have been distributed or sold. The number of these societies, either established or first made known to the council during the past year, is much larger than at any previous period, being 125 as compared with 41 last year, 55 the year before, and 22 in the first year of the society's operations. Lord EBURY moved that the report be adopted, and that an earnest appeal be made to the public to extend a hearty rations. support to the society and its ope- Mr. J.

Mr. LAYARD, seconded the resolution. Mr. G. EO RSTER proposed, and Mr. FRY seconded, a resolution expressing the cordial thanks of the meeting to Lord Brougham.

About one o'clock yesterday morninc , a fearful collision occurred between her Majesty's ship Ama zon, Captain Hunter, bound from Portsmouth for Halifax, North America, and the Cork Steampacket Company's passenger steamer Osprey, Captain Bar tridge, bound from Liverpool for Antwerp, in the English Channel, about 30 miles off Start Point. At the time the vessels struck each other it was very calm and not dark, and as both parties allege they had their proper signals hoisted it is at present a mystery who is at fault. Within two or three minutes after the collision the Osprey parted. The Amazon, being a much larger vessel, did not sustain such serious damage as the Osprey, and the crew instantly lowered their boats and used every effort to save as many of the Osprey's crew and passen gers as possible. The whole of the crew (21 in number) of the Osprey were saved, but we regret to state that the stewardness, Mary Ann Keating, and nine others, including four ladies (one a captain's wife) were drowned. Captain Bartridge's wife was saved, but he lost his two daughters and son. It was soon discovered that the Amazon was making water, and, though all the pumps were set to work, she filled so fast by half-past two o'clock, that Captain Hunter ordered boats to be lowered, and all hands speedily transferred themselves into them, their weight bringing the boats down within an inch of the water. At half-past two the Amazon was observed to be sinking fast. A heavy fog now came on, and she was soon lost sight of. The boats steered for the English coast, and safely arrived at Torquay at four yesterday afternoon. Additional names of those lost :—Mrs. Ilubbart, the widow of a barrister in Dublin, and two daughters, aged 22 and 15 respectively ; Mrs. Cap tain Wrey and two daughters, of Edghill, Liverpool. Loss of the Monarch of the Seas. Little hope is now entertained of the safety of this long-missing vessel. One of her lifeboats and a number of dead bodies have been washed up on the coast near Kerry, Ireland. The boat was found on Sunday, and those wbo have examined it seem cer tain that it belonged to the lost vessel, It is im possible to identify the bodies, owing to the state in which they were washed ashore. Several expe rienced captains express the opinion that the ship foundered amongst icebergs. The Monarch of the Seas left Liverpool for New York on 19th March. She belonged to New York merchants, of whom A. Taylor & Co., of Liverpool, were agents. For severa:L years this vessel has been employed in the conveyance of passengers between this country and the United States. An American built ship of 1,980 tons register, she was ten years old. She underwent great repairs in New York in 1859, and also in Liverpool in 1863 and 1865. In the last-mentioned year her bottom was metalled, over-felt, and the emigration agents certified her to be in a perfect condition in every respect as an emigrant ship. She took her departure from the Mersey on the day mentioned, under the command of Capt. Kirkaldy,with a crew of GO men, including first, second, and third officers, surgeon, stewardess, &c. According to the Custom-house clearance paper she had 639 cabin and steerage passengers on board ; of these 593 were adults, men and women, and GO children. The ship was in excellent trim when she took her departure, and had a fine run down Channel, when the pilot left her, wishing the captain and all on board a quick passage to New York. Since that time nothing has been heard of her. A ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OA SAB. BATH OBSERVANCE. The Bishop of Liverpool laid the foundation stone of a new Roman Catholic church at Barrow-in- Furness on Sunday, and delivered a long address upon the occasion. In the course of it he alluded to the day which had been selected for the ceremony. " There will be many," said his lordship, " who will disapprove of such a ceremony as that you have witnessed being performed on this day ; but I have endeavoured to show you that we are not bound by Jewish laws and prescriptions, and that when the day was changed from Saturday to Sunday so also was the manner changed, and, therefore, I am an advocate—ay, even on the Sabbath day—on this day which is holy unto the Lord—for the people enjoying themselves with rational amusement after they have adored and fulfilled their service unto God—to Him as our creator, ruler, and pre server, in whose hands are our lives, and who watches over us day and night. All homage is due unto God, but after that service then I hold it law ful that man should enjoy himself by honest re creation ; and instead of being driven stealthily to carouse in a publichouse, instead of being compelled to sit at home, brooding, perhaps, over some vice, I would rather see our manly young people gather ing together and going forth to practise with their rifles even on this day ; and I would like to see our cricket clubs at work, and our athletic youths strengthening themselves and recruiting themselves from the fatigue of the week by playing at football and other athletic sports. These things do not break the law of God any more than the smoke which, going into a man, defiles him. We have, therefore, no sympathy in any way or manner with the Jewish observance of the Sabbath ; and conse quently we have selected this day in order to per form this holy rite." The site of the church is given by the Earl of Devonshire. The building, which is to seat 700 persons, is to cost £4,000. A WOMAN'S LEGS CUT OFF ON THE RAILWAY. —On Monday morning last, at the Dalton junc tion of the Richmond :branch line of railway, the wife of a farmer named Mugg, living near the station, was on her way with a basket containing butter and eggs for the Darlington market, when the train knocked her down,'and passed over her legs, completely severing them from the body. The poor woman was picked up and taken on to Darlington, where she received every assistance. THE AUSTRIAN WAR FORCES IN VENETIA.— The Siecle makes the subjoined estimate of what Austria will gain in men and stores by evacuating the Quadrilateral :—" Mantua will render 20,000 men dispos able and 150 guns ; Verona, 40,000 men and 300 guns; Peschiera, 10,000 men and 50 guns; and Legnago, 25,000 men and 50 guns. The entrenched camps, forts, and block houses ; the garrisons of Malghera, Alberoni, Saint Andre, Saint Pierre, Albano, and Monteline, with the towns of Vicenza, Trovise, and Robigo, will also furnish enormous quantities of men and guns. The arsenals will give up their muskets and other military stores. Lastly, the Quadrilateral will furnish its army in the field—infantry, cavalry, waggon train, military stores, guns, Jtc., in all, 150,000 men. All those li v i ng an d ma t er i a l f orces w ill proceed towards Olmutz. The Emperor Francis Joseph gives them to Moravia ; he sends also the Arohduke Albert who used them on the Mincio to show at Olmutz how they should be employed." THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A LADY AT BRIGHTON.-Dr. Warder, the husband of the lady who died at Brighton under the mysterious circumstances re ported last week, was discovered dead at the Bedford Hotel, in that town, yesterday afternoon. He took a bed there on the previous night. A prussic acid bottle was by his side, and everything indicates that he committed suicide. Ho left a letter saying who was to be communi cated with. M. Liandier, in a recent paper read before the French Academy of Sciences, attributes the zodiacal light to the effect of a vast atmosphere enveloping the sun on all sides, and exercising on that orb an immense pressure, developing a vast quantity of heat. He thinks that if this pressure bo subject to great variations th y may be the cause of the spots observed on the sun's disc. INDIAN PRIZE MONEY.—An act of Parliament has lately been passed to legalise the payment and distri bution of Indian prize money, and one of the provisions will meet the Banda and Kirwee case, the money in which is about to be distributed, having been captured in 1858. It enacts that such portions of prize money as are payable in the United Kingdom shall be paid to the treasurer secretary of Chelsea Hospital, to be distributed to the persons entitled thereto, according to their respective por tions. In certain casos payment may bo made on account of officers and soldiers deceased without letters of admi nistration being taken out. A FATAL Kiss.—Last evening an inquiry was held by Mr. Payne, coroner ? at Guy's Hospital, respecting the death of Mrs. Sarah Whitlock, aged GO years. Tl4 O deceased was the widow of a draper, and resided at No. 13, Wellington-street, Stepney. On a Sunday evening in last month she went to visit her cousin, who resided in West minster. When parting in the evening they kissed ona another on the steps outside the door. While in the act of kissing they both fell down the steps with great force. The unfortunate deceased received dreadful injuries, her thigh being broken. She was immediately conveyed to the hos pital, whore she died from the result of the fall on Sunday. Tho jury returned s verdict of accidental death. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK THE WAR IN GERMANY. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) APPOINTMENT OF THE ARCHDUKE ALBRECHT AS AUSTRIAN COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

Mr. Brookes nominated and Mr. Billings se conded Mr. Long. The candidates then severally addressed the elec tors, and the show of hands was declared to be in favour of the Solicitor-General. A poll was demanded for Mr. Long. The proceedings were, on the whole, orderly and comparatively quiet. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This day. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE CHARGE OF PERJURY AGAINST MRS. ALLEN. This afternoon Ellen Allen, a fashionably -dressed female, was indicted for having committed wilful and corrupt perjury. The prisoner seems about 35 years of ago, with a re markably prepossessing appearance. She is what is gene rally termed a brunette, with black and shining hair, and was attired in a mauve-coloured dross, over which she wore a black lace shawl. On being placed before the Recorder the prisoner commenced weeping very violently, and during the greater part of the trial her face was buried in her handkerchief. Mr. Poland was for the prosecution, and briefly stated the case upon which the charge was preferred against the defendant. The prosecutor is a professional gen tleman named Moseley, a dentist, who, it will be re membered, was a passenger on the North-Western Railway, on the evening of the occurrence, f rom Pinner to Euston-square, and the only person travelling in the same compartment as Mr. Moseley was the defendant. On the way to town Mr. Moseley asked if the cigar he was smoking was objected to, when the defendant replied that it was not, but on the contrary rather agreeable. A slightly animated conversa tion then sprung up between Mr. Moseley and the defen dant, and on the arrival of th e t ra i n at the terminus the prosecutor was astonished by the defendant demanding his card, and making a charge against him of a very serious nature. Mr. Moseley protested his innocence, but it was of no avail, and eventually, after the matter had been most fully investigated by the magistrate at the Marylebone Police Court, the then defendant, Mr. Moseley, was discharged, and from cireumstances that have since transpired the complainant at the police court has now become the defendant at the Old Bailey, the charge against her being wilful and corrupt forgery, committed before the magistrate. Mr. Poland then entered into the details of the whole of the case, and said the present prosecution was of the greatet importance, because as matters now stood it was highly dangerous for a gentleman to occupy a seat in any railway carriage in which a lady and himself would be the only passengers. The man was quite at the mercy of the woman, and a false charge once made it be came almost impossible to rebut it. However, in the pre sent case, the defendant had so prevaricated that he fell he should clearly establish the charge for which she was indicted. A number of witnesses were then examined, but their evidence was merely a repetition of that which appeared in our Marylebone police report whilst the case was under going investigation. The learned Judge having summed up the evidence, The jury, without retiring from the box, found the prisoner guilty, but recommended her to mercy. The Recouder asked them if it was a unanimous recom mendation ? The Foreman of the Jury—Yes. The Recorder—On what grounds do you recommend her to mercy ? One of the jury said on the grounds that he might have taken liberties with the prisoner. The counsel for the prosecuticn then called evidence to show that the prisoner had been in the habit of frequent ing the Victoria Railway Station for the last two years, for the purpose of entangling gentlemen. A detective from Scotland-yard said that he had known the prisoner as one of the worst prostitusateids InEhlalbenitinAgueSnt: Martin's-lane for the last fifte en y ears. The Recorder, in pass in g sentence, the jury have found you guilty of ono of the worst crimes any person could have been guilty of. I always j k u e r l t pay the greatest respect to the recommendati a o ys n osu o a f b but in this case lam only sorry that the sentence I ' about to inflict will scarcely meet the enormity of your li o ff e nce, but the law will not allowbemsehetaodping higher tears co sentence. The sentence of the Court is that in penal servitude for five year a s. ttohe bar. p i oti sTheco piously, iy prisoner, ash en w r h e o m p o pretended n fromde 1 SURREY SESSIONS.—The trials at these sessions were resumed yesterday before the Deputy Chairman, Mr. Tilson. Two yoing men, named Dickinson and Lestor, wore found guilty of stealing some wine, a pint bottle of bitters, and some other articles, from the Crystal Palace, and several convictions having been proved against them, they were sentenced each to penal servitude for ten years. Alfred Russell, a mechanic, pleaded guilty to breaking into the premises of James Coleman, builder and contractor, Bermondsey, and stealing therefrom a large quantity of carpentor'o tools. The court sent him to gaol for 12 mouths. VIENNA, July 11.

Tho most recent instance of such an elevation was that of Bari Russell, and before him those through of Lord Francis Egerton to the earldom of Ellesmere, of Lord U. Cavendish to the earldom of Burlington, of Mr. Coke to the earldom of Leicester, and of Colonel Fitz clarenco to the earldom of Munster. Sir Robert Walpole, in like manner we all know, was raised from his seat in the Lower House of Parliament to the earldom of Oxford,and i i e th ld o e u r t P passing tt , . became Earl grades of a baron and a Vi scount. g tt the inferior o C f om c iff h instance that we can remember is The only other Commoner, th w e Lowther, the patron of half a dozen that of Sir James who first introduced the rotten boroughs, and M.F. for Appleby li gouger Pitt into St. Stephen's as .' e was a man of fiery and over bearingtemper, which led h . occasionall y led people to un into frequent duels, and Pitt doubt his perfect sanity.

With this avowed inten tion he presented himself at the door of the House of Com mons, intending to take his old familiar seat as a plain knight of the shire, and ho was only deterred by the ser geant and deputy sergeant-at-arms, who wore obliged to draw their swords before they could succeed in making him beat his retreat from the floor of the house, and take , up his seat under the gallery, on the benches assigned to peers who wished to be present at the debates of the Com mons.—Once a Week.
