LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. -- 4-- COURT Op QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice Blackburn, and Justices Mellor and Shoe.) TARNER V. WALKER.-THE CORNHILL BURCLARY. This was a motion for a new trial under circumstances which have already been frequently before the public. The plaintiff is a watchmaker, carrying on business at Wilder ness-row, Clerkenwell, and he brought an action to re cover the amount of £250 of a reward offered by Mr. Wal ker, the watchmaker, for information leading to the deten tion of the burglars, and also £750 for the recovery of a portion of the same or a proportionate part of it, and the plaintiff obtained a verdict against the de fendant, who refused to give moro than the value of two of the watches recovered. The reward for the conviction of the burglars was disputed on the ground that the information supplied wns too vague to have led to the said conviction. A. rule had been obtained calling on the plaintiff to show cause why their should not be a new Mr. Sergeant Parry now showed cause against the rule, and Mr. Laylor followed on the same side. Mr. D. Seymour, Q.C., replied. The Court refused to grant a new trial, and the rule was accordingly discharged, with leave to the defendant to appeal. THE QUEEN T. THE PATENT EURIKA SEWAGE AND MANURE COMPANY. In this case a rule having been obtained, calling on the defendant to show cause why a fine should not be en forced against him for a nuisance in the neighbour hood of Hyde, caused by the works of the above company, and why ho should not abate the nuisance. The case was heard before Mr. Baron Bramwell, and the notes of the learned judge were read. In evidence it was de posed that human excrement and other most offensive matter were subjected to a process of boiling and mixing with bones and other materials at the works of the de fendants. The effluvium was described by seve ral witnesses as being .pf the most disgusting description, producing nausea and vomiting, besides being most injurious to the growth of vegetation in the neigh bourhood. The smell from the works was perceptible a mile off, and one of the witnesses said that on a particular occasion he saw 200 persons with their handkerchiefs to their noses in conseguence. Of the nuisance. (Laughter.) . _ Some evidence was given on behalf of the defendants to the effect that the nuisance had been much exaggerated, and that there were several other nuisances in the neigh bourhood quite as bad, and that plants could not be injured by the works, as no sulphuric acid was emitted. _ _ Mr. Giffard, Q.C., was about to show cause against the rule, when Mr. Justice Blackburn suggested that the matter should be referred to an engineer of the Local Board of Health be fore proceeding further in the case. The Court might im pose any fine they wished, but if the nuisance were re moved would merely impose a moderate fine. The suggestion was adopted. Well-street, that several persons were on the gr ound tear. lug each other's hair out, kicking an fighting, and thai the Lannings took part in the riot, which they most dis• tinctly denied. Mr Paget said he required the evidence of the surgeon who dressed the wounds, and the inspect or of police who took the charge, before he finally dispos'ed Pf the MO. He remanded the prisoners. BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, e. r llllo 7. The following is the return of the Bank' c 'I France for the week ending to-day, together with the cor responding figur3s of the previous account : HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, June 7. The Queen, with Princess Helena, arrived at Windsor Castle last evening, at half-past seven o'clock, from Buckingham Palace. In attendance were the Dowager Duchess of Athole, the Hon. Flora Macdonald, Lord Charles Fitzroy, and Colonel the Hon. de Ros. Her Majesty, accompanied by Princess Louise, drove in the grounds this morning, Princess Helena and Princess Beatrice rode in the Home park. The Hon. Flora Macdonald left the Castle this morning. The Hon. Emily Cathcart and the Hon. Florence Seymour succeed as Maids of Honour in Waiting. Lord Cremorne and the Hon. Mortimer Sackville West arrived at the Castle yesterday as Lord and Groom iu Waiting. The Prince and Princess of Wales. The Prince and Princess of Wales, accompa panied by the Crown Prince of Denmark and Prince de Teck, and attended by the Countess of Maccles field, Lieut.-General Knollys, Gen. Kauffman, and Capt. Lund, went yesterday morning to Aldershot, and were present at a divisional field-day of the troops in camp. Their royal highnesses afterwards took luncheon with the Hon. Sir James Yorke Soarlett, the general commanding at Aldershot. In the evening the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Crown Prince of Denmark dined with the Earl and Countess Vane, at their residence in Park lane. The Marriage of Princess Mary. Yesterday the preparations for the approaching marriage of her Royal Highness Princess Mary of Cambridge with Prince Teck were commenced in the quiet suburban village of Kew, so well known to the denizens of the great metropolis, and work men are now busily employed in erecting triumphal arches across the road which divides the Green. All, too, is chaos in Cambridge-cottage, where to-day, it is understood, a grand dinner party and ball are to be given to 150 guests in honour of the occasion. The nuptial ceremony, it is stated, will take place at half-past 12 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. The Royal pair are to be united by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Winchester, assisted by the vicar of the parish, the Rev. R. B. Byam, and the Rev. P. W. Nott, curate of Kew. The church, as many of our readers are aware, is an unpretending-looking brick building, standing on the south side of the Green, with its porticoed en trance facing the gateway of Cambridge-cottage. The exterior, over which the ivy climbs in great luxuriance, is partly hidden by the dense foliage of the lime, chesnut, and yew trees, which surround the building. Inside the church itself there is much to interest the stranger, there being several marble tablets, among which are those erected to the memory of Jeremiah Mayer, the miniature painter, and Francis Bauer, botanical artist to King George 111., and also that of Thomas Gainsborough, the painter. The ceiling is arched, and supported on six pillars ; the Royal gallery, decorated in front with the Imperial arms and escutcheons, is at the west end of the church. Soon after 12 o'clock on Sunday night workmen will commence clearing away the whole of the high old-fashioned pews in the centre of the church, in order to leave the body of the building completely clear, as all the room is re quired for the members of the Court and those of the aristocracy who may be honoured with invita tions. Her Majesty the Queen, the Prince and Princess of 'Wales, and other members of the Royal family, will most likely be present. The Queen, it is expected, will be seated in the gallery, while the other company will occupy the body of the church, from the doorway of which a covered and carpeted way will be erected under the supervision of Mr. Cripps, of Buckingham Palace, to the portico of Cambridge-cottage, whence the marriage procession will emerge, the members of it walking to the church. Her Royal Highness the Princess Mary of Cam bridge has honoured Messrs. Hancock and Burbrook with the order for the lockets to be worn by her Royal High ness's Bridesmaids, and they will be on view at their estab- lishment, 37, Conduit-street, Bond-street, to-day and to morrow (Saturday). MESSRS. W. AND A. GILBEY'S NEW PREMISES IN DUBLIN.—One of the most striking characteris tics in connection with our city at the present time is un doubtedly the architectural beauty and taste displayed in our principal public buildings. In the leading streets and thoroughfares may be seen springing up on every side elegant and imposing structures, the external ornamenta tion and internal arrangements of which give evidence of an almost lavish expenditure. Now banks and insurance offices, the establishments of commercial companies and private capitalists, are beginning to take the place of ordi nary concerns, which were either dilapidated or ill adapted for the purposes of an extensive business. The fact is equally significant and gratifying. It gives assurance of an undiminished energy and enterprise amongst the com mercial public, which we sincerely hope no political crisis or national calamity may suceeed in extinguishing, or diverting from its legitimate and proper sphere. Sack ville-street, regarded by many as the finest thoroughfare in the United Kingdom, and of which we may be justly proud, has, in the respect referred to, been greatly improved of late, by the erection of the extensive and, it might with out exaggeration be said, magnificent establishment of the Messrs. W. and A. Gilbey, wine merchants, London, for the purposes of the Dublin branch of their well-known and eminent firm. It is built in the early French style, and composed of white brick, with dressings and embel lishments of Portland stone, which give it a light, elegant, and exceedingly graceful appearance. It is five stories high, the windows being arched, and closely ranged in horizontal sections, diminishing in height somewhat as they approach the roof, which is very elaborately and taste fully finished, and quite in harmony with the entire range of building. The entrance is, perhaps, the most notable feature of the exterior, and for design and execution could hardly be surpassed. It is composed of Portland stone, finely cut, with marble columns of various colours, with floriated capitals, supporting an exquisitely carved architrave in keeping with the general style, over which are placed the name and trade mark of the firm. On entering the outer hall or vestibule, with its tesselated pavement, its lofty ceiling, with a deep cornice, the doors of hifhly polished ma h oga ny, with carved oak framework, the impression created by a view of the exterior is strengthened by an in spection of the interior. The fittings of the offices, and, indeed, the entire woodwork of the interior of the ware house, are similar, and varnished only —no paint of any kind being used, which gives au air of neatness and pre ciseness to everything not usually found in establishments of the kind. An immense stock of wine is kept in the vaults, which are very extensive, and have been lighted and ventilated on the most approved plan. The trade of the firm in light wines is immense, and extends through out every part of the United Kingdom. The last proof of their showing increasingt trade u a e is ntityof furnished wine,by thefro from all l s l t Custom returns, countries, n which duty was paid in the port of London during the years 64 and 1865, and which are sufficient toplace th em at h head of the trade, and above the mo s t ce l e b rated o te London wholesale houses. It is a fact to be noticed that all their wines and spirits go into the hands of consumers bearing the distinctive brand of thefirm, whereas the large houses which fellow them are in the wholesale trade only. In the year 1864 they paid duty on upwards of 284,000 gal lons of wine, and on 864,000 gallons the year following, which forms about one-thirtieth of the entire quantity of wine upon which duty was paid for that year throughout the United Kingdom. Their business has of late years as sumed the dimensions of a large public company. Their extensive concerns in London may be regarded as one of the most interesting sights in that city. Their premises occupy the whole of a large area, having entrances in three different streets, and a handsome architectural frontage at the principal entrance from Wells-street, and from this lceesnotrf Brines einsteasblaisnhdtnspenitrintso are es dailya naveeernatgoeutthat throu gh than 12, 000 land. The firm enjoy an extensive connection, and do a large trade in Ireland ; and no better proof of their pros perity and appreciation at the bands of the public could be, perhaps, afforded than the encouragement which has in duced them to erect their magnificent premises in Upper Sackville-street. Dublin.—Dublin Daily Express, May 23, 1866 THE STATE OF EUROPE AND OF " CARRIGALLEN." —Among the notices on the Parliamentary paper issued yesterday is one by Mr. W. Ormsby Gore, to the effect that on Monday next he will ask the Secretary of the Treasury " Why the mails arrive at Carrigallen and Killygar post oftices later than they did last year, and whether there is any intention of accelerating them, so as to avoid the in convenience to which the public in that neighbourhood are now put," DIVORCE COURT. (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, the Lord Chief Baron, Sir J. P. Wilde, and a Special Jury.) RYTES AND RYVES V. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. The examination in chief of Mrs. Ryves, which was commenced yesterday, was resumed this morning. She said that she remembered the funerals of the King (George the Third) and. the Duke of Kent, and a few days after wards the Duke of Sussex visited her and her mother at Cumberland-place. She and her mother were both in the drawing-room when he called. Her mother placed seve ral documents on the table, when his royal highness care fully inspected them, and said he was perfectly satisfied the signatures were those of the King, and that her mother was his cousin and the daughter of his uncle. The Attorney-General contended that this evidence was not strictly legal. The Lord Chief Baron—We have been five days en gaged on this case, and I don't see why what would be in admissible in any other case should be admitted. The Attorney-General said that he would not press his objection. Mrs. Ryves then proceeded, and stated that before leav ing the Duke of Sussex kissed her, and took a most affec tionate leave of her mother. She deposed also to subse quent interviews between his Royal Highness and her mother, at which she was present, and to his repeating his kind treatment of both. The caso for the petitioner is not likely to close this week. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE THE HEMEL HEMPSTED BANK. This bankruptcy has been before the court for ten years. The bank failed for £50,000, and a di.idend of 10s. in the pound has already been paid under an order of the Court of Chancery. Another dividend has now been declared. IN RE EVANS, HOAR; AND CO. These bankrupts were wine, beer, and spirit merchants, and distillers of Great St. Helen's, the failure having taken place in 1857. The liabilities are .£84,000. A dividend of tenpence in the pound has already been paid, and - a further dividend of twopence in the pound was declared to-day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SERVANTS' REGISTRY OFFICE FRAUDS.--JOhri W. Smith, agent, and Adolphe Chas. Wattez, traveller (the manager and secretary of the " Cavendish Institution" Servants' Registry-office, Mortimer-street), charged vtith unlawfully conspiring together to obtain and obtaining from several young women the sums of ss. with intend to defraud, were brought before Mr. Knox, by Rosekilling one of the warrant officers by whom they were taken into custody. Mr. West, from the office of Messrs. Shaen, prosecuted on behalf of the Society for the Prevention of Women and Children ; Mr. Lewis Lewis appeared for Smith ; and Mr. Wontuer for Wattez ; and Mr. Levy, from the office of the Society, was in attendance. One case against the prisoners, it may be remembered, was taken last week. Mr. West said he was prepared to go into a second case. Mr. Lewis said ho was instructed by Miss Barns of the Blue Post, Haymarket, to state that the young woman Shaw, who gave evidence last week, never lived at her house, and therefore the statement she made that she left after two nights was incorrect, and was calculated to do her (Miss Barns) some injury. Mr. West said it appeared there were two houses in the Haymarket, the Blue Post and the Grapes, both kept by a person of the name of Barns. He had spoken to the young woman, and she had informed him that it was the Grapes that she went to, and not the Blue Post. Mr. Wontner, on the part of Wattez, said that he only filled a subordinate position at the office, and that although called the secretary he was only paid as clerk 15s. a week and a small percentage ; and that as soon as possible after he found out the character of the prisoner ho left, he being chiefly led to take this step through Smith re questing him to take an office in the City, and to employ his (Wattez) own wife to go to Norwood and to write letters, pretending she wanted servants. Before Wattez could be convicted on the present charge it must be shown that he was acting fraudulently with Smith. Mr. Knox said the case was one of so much importance that he should like the opinion of a judge to be taken on the point raised by Mr. Lewis. He considered an abomin able system of fraud had been practised towards a number of young women. Mr. West said he was prepared to go into another case. Marian Shaw, of 20, Gough-street, Gray's-inn-road, then gave evidence, and said that she went to the Cavendish Institution on 3rd March last, paid Smith 55., telling him that she had seen an advertisement for a companion to an elderly lady. Smith took the money, and gave her a receipt for it. He then gave her an address, "Madame Duquesney, St. Omer, France." She wrote to the address, but got no answer. She went to the institution again on the 6th March, and saw the prisoner. She told Smith that she had received no answer. He asked her if she had addressed and stamped her letter correctly, and she said she had. He then gave an address at Barns's, the Grapes, Haymarket. Here she stayed ono or two nights. She then went to the institution again. Mr. Knox asked whether she that l i object youngr. being woman a 'situatio n ? Mr. eat et ul evidence certainly was very we a k ; and as h the cas e could go on after that, a West wi s h e d f or a remand, h to obtain the judg ment of a superior Court as to whethe r p ersons cou ld se they should sW aograntunderstood a said l yi got t the arry on such a system of fraud as had been pursued in the present case with impunity. The prisoners were then remanded, Smith in £5O bail and Wattez in £3O. . The prisoner Wattez is said to be respectably connected THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.--Cornelius and Michael Driscoll, Irish labourers, father and son, wore brought before Mr. assaulting and wounding Catherine L Pa a g n e n t in c g h , a a rg y e o d un w g it ‘ h woman.. The parties livein an Irish colony in Well-street, Poplar.

They were again threat ened near home by the prisoners, and Thomas Lanning, fearing he should be killed, went to the Poplar station-house for assistance. On his return to Well -street with a police constable he heard that his wife had been grievously wounded and removed to the hospital. Her husband no sooner left her than Michael Driscoll struck her on the forehead with a poker, inflicting a severe wound, and the elder Driscoll struck her on the back of the head with a heavy bludgeon and stunned her. There was a large surgical plaister on her forehead, and another on tho back of her head. She lost a good deal of blood, and was very pale and weak. The evidence of the Lannings was con firmed by a woman, who said she had been ill-used by tho prisoners. On the other hand six Iri s h women wore called or the prisoners, who said there w as a general row in DEBTOR. June 7.

(Signed) ROULAND. Fires and Loss of Life. Several fires happened last night and this morning in the metropolitan district. One broke out on the premises of Mr. McNeil. a lodging house keeper, No. 43, Royal Mint street, near the Tower of London. The discovery was made about half-past 3in the morning by the police, who aroused the inmates, and they escaped with great diffi culty. Three of the Royal Society's escapes promptly at tended, and the land steamers of Shand, Mason, and Co., were also soon upon the spot, as well as several manual ones. Plenty of water being secured, the firemen went to work, but the flames could not be extinguished until the top rooms were burned out and the lower part damaged by water. The origin of the fire is unknown. A very lamentable fire took place in the premises of Mrs. Partridge, No. 40, Devonshire-street, Portland-place, which unfortunately was attended with fatal consequences. From the particulars obtained it appears that some persons in the street noticed flames curling round ono of the win dows. They immediately sent off for conductors Hutchins, Arnold, Miskella, and Rowland, who at once started with four of the Royal Society's escapes. Upon one of the con ductors entering the room he beheld a pitiable sight, for near the window was lying, partially covered with a carpet, Miss Helen Alexandra Todd. Where were still flames rising through the ends of the carpet. Medical assistance was quickly in attendance, but the poor creature was found to have been burnt to death. Shand, Mason, and Co.'s land steamers attended, but the fire was extin guished during the interval. There can be little doubt the unfortunate lady first set fire, by some accident, to her clothes, and the fire next reached the window. MARKE TS. ---This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat were very moderate. The trade for an qualities ruled firm, and Is. per quarter more money was demanded.

Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, and prices had an upward tendency. The supply of English barley on sale was small, of foreign moderate. The trade was quiet, on former terms. Malt sold slowly, at Monday's currency. Oats were in good supply and slow request, at barely late rates. Beans and peas met a slow sale, at last Mondays quo- fawns.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh was sworn in to-day shortly after four o'clock in the presence of the Lord Chancellor and some peers, being introduced by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. Lord Colville acted is Lord Chamberlain. In consequence of the privacy attending the ceremony there was no demonstration of any kind, and much disappointment, no doubt, was experienced by many who expected that the formal proceedings would of have been attend e d w i t h a large array who case of his R o y a l Highness the Prince of Wales, did not take his sea t unt il the usual hour. • The LORD C HANCELLOR t oo k his seat on the woolsack peer as in the at five o'clock.

Lord EBURY said that he took a great interest in this subject, and he had acquired much experience in the work ing of the electoral system from the position he occupied in the house in reference to inquiries into election peti tions. He could not not agree with his noble friend (Lord Ellenborough) on the mode in which he proposed to deal with this question of havi ng a general commission instead of inquiries into particular cases, because he thought the effect would be to extend th e evil Which the noble earl desired to avert by extending demoralisation. - [tEri SPEAKING.] TURRET SHIPS. Mr. O'BEIRNE asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether it was true that their lordships had decided upon testing the resisting power and general efficiency of the i cupola system by firing at one of the turrets of the Royal Sovereign ; and, if it had been so decided, whether ho had any objection to state to the house the nature of the ex periments proposed ? Mr. BARING said such an exp3riment was about ta be made, but the details had not yet been decided on. SCOTCH AND IRISH REFORM BILLS. Sir F. lIEYGATE asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer when he intended to proceed with the second reading of the Scotch and Ifish Reform Bills ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not fix any day at present, but it would doubtless be a distant one. JAMAICA. Mr. GILPIN asked when the report of the Jamaica Commission Might be expected. Mr. CARD WELL said he had not yet received tho whole of the evidence, therefore he could not give the hon. gentleman an explicit answer. No steps had yet bee n taken with respect to the Indemnity Bill. CATTLE PLAGUE. Mr. BRUCE informed the house that the disease ob servable amongst the cattle in the Isle of Man was nOt yinderpest, but one of a local description. THE BELGIAN PRESS. Mr. DISRAELI said before going into committee he begged to make a few remarks upon some observations 6 c conspiracy raicze contendedto bate r that had fallen from him in referring to the conduct of our p l enipotentiary at the Conference. On that occasion he had remarked that oar plenipotentiary had entered into a tawayhat the the f e r t e a e t d e o m m en o te f t s h ve e r p e re neither iin :B u e n i- - 'fiable nor un justifiable that reckless, and that he was fully justified iu. said by the official documents on the table of the house. Mr. LAYARD said as he had not anticipated the right hon. gentleman Would go into the pared to answ er hi s o b servations as full he was not pre charges made by th e right honourable y as he could. Th e onourable gentleman op posite against Lord Clarendon ivere of such a nature that, if true, they would be productive of the greatest injury to the political character of the noble earl, and render him incapable of remaining at the head of the Foreign Office of the country. The right hon. gentle man had said that the noble earl had entered into a con spiracy to. abolish the liberty of the press on the co n ti nent . that he had agreed to an alteration of the boupdarie of Turkey, which it took all the talent of L or d PA merston to settle; and that he had wilfully neglected th_ nterests of Circassia. He had to state that each of those, charges were directly opposite to the facts of the case. With respect to the first of the accusations, Cou n t Walewski, at the Conference, referred to the vio lent denunciations which appeared in the Belgian papers against the Emperor Napoleon, some of which openly advocated his assassination, and the only observation made use of by Earl Clarendon which at all referred to the matter was, that in the course of the dis cussion he said he . considered men who preached assassination were undeserving the protection of the press. The second accusation, that he said interfered with the boundaries of Turkey was the opposite to the fact ; and with respect to Circassia, Lord Clarendon had done all in his power in favour of that country instead of neglecting it. The three accusations, therefore, against the Earl of Clarendon had each fallen to the ground. (Hear, hear.) [LEFT SITTING.] LONDON GAZETTE—This Evening. LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, MAY 19.

The committee appointed by the House of Commons to inquire into the system of licensing music halls and theatres met this morning in room 19. Viscount Sydney, G.C.8., the Lord Chamberlain, attended this morning, and, in answer to the chairman, said he thought music halls and theatres should be under one jurisdiction— either the Lord Chamberlain or the Home office. The Lord C hamberlain's-office was quite able to deal with the matter, all that would be required would be an additional staff. The licenses, he thought, ought to be divided into two distinct branches, one for the theatres and the other for music halls. That plan was adopt e ed d i id n Paris, with the additioh of police supervis o io la n t ; e but part,h not think it would be judicious to ad?pt en t t h witb t latterrthe habits be cause he did not think it was co h n a s v i e st the police watching of persons in this country was very un satisfactory.

By Mr. Locke—The Lord Chamberlain's-office would be able to perform the duty of licensing all places of amuse ment, theatres, as well as music -halls, merely by an in crease of the staff. Of course, there would have to be a local stuff to see that country theatres were properly con ducted. SHIPPING INTELLIGE NCE. —Ths Day. LONDON, June B.—Wind this day at noon—South.

Act (1863); and, if so, how soon the garden will be pro ceeded with ? Mr. TITE said the Act of 1863 passed to deal 'with neglected open spaces had been found very defective, and much difficulty had b,ten experienced. The board had taken steps to deal with Leicester -square, but the owuer of the ground had served them -with notice of trespass, but some points of law were raised which still remain for argument, and as the case could not come on for argument ve m n o b t e r s , a a y n w d h ull: 1 i v l o t u h l a d t be d matter one h . ad l boonf the disposeddeeisioit of, he No could went against th em h e s h ou ld a p p l y to Parliament to amend and simplify th e law. .ose, jivil tied, f as ;ism two A of This vhat stra y of pose 'ted. p iest e nts here ,her, L inSt lalll itf al > the tical clio .l of ,;00 11 adif P ted L des, rice- bee ss of ince Col• ;rlO O ;tern a nd re- is re' LIAO' I re- 'cid' Doti' )ro rile , bl ad° 1 1 11 6 g ca de• ill It'l l rig Share 190 100 100 1( 0 100 100 WO 100 100 all 100 100 100 100 2 100 1.100 MEN' 1(4 105 103 106 101 10 i 1021 1
