(Before the Judge Ordinary.) TUCKER V. HERMAGE. This was the only suit set down for to-day, and was for propounding the will of Miss Eliza Caroline Mary Beere, late of Pimlico, who made her testamentary deposition on the 26th of August, 1864, and who died the following month. Dr. Spinks supported the will, and Mr. Sergeant Ballan tine opposed it. ' When the case was called on Sergeant Ballantine said that he had arranged with Dr. Spinks that as a great many private matters, which it was advisable should not be made public, would transpire if the case was opened, they had agreed to the payment of a certain sum to the aunt as next of kin, and that the cost of the proceedings be paid out of the estate. Sir J. P. Wilde said he had, from the first, set his face against ouch private settlements. Formal proof of the will having been given and no op position made, probate was granted as prayed. Sergeant Ballantine said he had to congratulate his Lordship on having a light day.

P. Wilde said he was very sorry for it, as there was plenty of work to do. The court then rose. In the Court of Common Pleas their Lordships were occupied the whole of the early part of the day in hearing the arguments of counsel in a case in which the point at issue between the sub-inspector and a manufacturer of crinoline at Sheffield was whether the defendant had in fringed the Factory Act. The sub-inspector had stated that he had seen young people employed on the premises after the hours set down in the act, while the manufacturer con tended that his establishment was not a cotton mill within the meaning of the statute. _ _ THE SPRING THE LINCOLN GRA/ (About fo.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Ker.) A FEMALE MONEY-LENDER AND A FEMALE BORROWER.- SINGULAR CASE.-FELGATE V. CHAPPELL. This was an action to recover a small balance due upon a promissory note. Mrs. Felgate (the plaintiff) produced the note upon which various instalments had been made. His Honour inquired if the defendant was in court. A female came forward and said, "My husband is the de fendant, and he does not know anything about this affair." His Honour—l see that the note is signed "Susan Chappell." How is that, plaintiff ?

STEALING A BANK NOTE.—Charlotte Edis, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a £2O Bank of England note, the property of Mr. John Dob son, lodging house-keeper, of No. 116, Jermyn-street. _ . . _ . _ Mr. Dobson said the prisoner had been in his service for about a month, he receiving a good character with her. Last Saturday he missed a £2O Bank of England note from a cash-box kept in a chest of drawers in his bedroom; the prisoner having left on the previous Monday on the plea of ill health. The note was safe in the box on the Sunday. Having traced the note to have been paid into the Bank of England, he gave information to the police, and last night saw the prisoner at the station. Thomas Procter, assistant to a draper in Duke-street, Manchester-square, said that yesterday week the prisoner came to his employer's shop and purchased goods to the amount of £3 75., and paid for them with a £2O note, and he gave her change, she remarking at the time that she was suffering from rheumatism. Police-constable Butcher, 137 C, said from information he received he went yesterday to Gosberton, in Lincoln shire, where the prisoner was on a visit to her friends. He told her he was an officer from London, and had come there to take her into custody for stealing a £2O note from her master, Mr. Dobson, of Jermyn-street. She said she had not stolen the note, bat picked it up in the house. She gave him up £5 7s. 6d. In answer to the magistrate, the prosecutor said the cash box was locked, but the key was in the drawer. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for the attendance of the other persons whose hands the note had passed through. —This Day. rnE SUN., LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVtNINO, JANUARY 25, 1.8657_ SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE ROYAL LIVER SOCIETY. - Mr. William Gruit, a grocer and cheesemonger, of 31, Middle Grove-street, St. George's-in-the-East, came before Mr. Paget to complain of the operations of the Royal Liver Society, which has been so often the subject of complaint and discussion in many of our police-courts and other places. Mr. Gruit said he had been a member of the Royal Liver Society for two years and eight months, and had paid to an agent ls. ld. per week towards the sick and burial fund until the last six weeks, when the agent discontinued his calls. He went to the head office for London, in New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, and was referred to. Mr. David Wellspring, of 149, Pentonville-hill, who was advertised in the printed circulars of the society as a London agent. He called at the house, and Mr. Wellspring was denied, and his letters to him had neverbeen answered. Many persons who had paid money to agents of the society were in the practice of calling at his shop because they could obtain no information at the office in Bridge-street, Black friars, or of Mr. Wellspring. The applicant then handed to Mr. Paget a printed circular of four pages relating to the society, and the names of a great number of persons to whom it was stated funeral money had been paid. The society was called Royal Li'ver Society (formerly Liver), and it was stated it was enrolled for England by Mr. J. T. Pratt ; for Ireland by Mr. Griffin ; and for Scotland by Mr. Ritchie. Mr. Paget was very much afraid the society was a de• ception. Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, said the affairs of the society had been under discusSion in that court, and the directors had been quarrelling and fighting with the collec- ,ors of similar societies. A gentleman in court said that Mr. Selfe, when a magis trate of the Thames police-court, stated that the affairs of the Royal Liver Society came under discussion at every police-court where he had been officiating, and that he would not advise any one to pay money to its agents. Mr. Gruit said that many of his poorer neighbours had paid money to the society's collectors, who had discontinued calling upon them, and they could obtain no information of the society's affairs, or how they were to obtain relief in sickness. - Mr. Paget advised the applicant to write to the manager, or secretary, at the head-office, No. 16, Prescott-street, Liverpool, and also to Mr. David Wellspring, of 149, Pen tonville-hill, keep copies of his letters, and demand imme diate answers. People ought to be very cautious in join ing benefit societies which appointed out-door collectors. There were respectable and well-established benefit societies in the district, which did not have recourse to the expedients of the Royal Liver and other societies of a similar nature.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-grown wheat were very moderate. The trade, however, ruled far from active ; nevertheless, selected parcels were in steady request, and such commanded Monday's prices. In ferior qualities moved off slowly, but at late rates. Only a moderate supply of foreign wheat was on the stands, yet there was a great want of animation in the trade, the demand being chiefly confined to good and fine descriptions, which changed hands to a limited extent, at Monday's currency. Floating cargoes of grain were steady in price, although the demand for them ruled inactive. There was a tolerably extensive supply of barley on sale. Good and fine malting qualities were scarce, and sold readily at fully late rates. Inferior barley met a dull inquiry at about previous quotations. The malt trade was steady at late prices. About an average supply of oats was on sale, and nearly all descriptions were in steady request at full quotations. Beans were dull at late rates. Peas were unaltered in value from Monday, but the demand for them ruled in active. Most descriptions of flour were in steady request at late prices. ARRIVALS TI{IS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

STRANGE SCENES AT SHEFFIELD.—During the pas `few months the inhabitants of Sheffield have been startled with a series of sensation announcements, con cerning the services of the Hallelujah Band at the Tem perance Hall. " Convicted felons, prizefighters, pigeon stealers, dog fighers, wife beaters, poachers, &c.," have been announced to give "their experience," and the re sult of the extraordinary concentration of talent, or rather character, has been crowded houses. Last week, the walls were placarded with the announcement that, on Monday night, "Harvey Teasdale," the converted clown, would publicly destroy his stage dresses, the manuscript plays and music, and his pantomime tricks and books. The hall was crowded to excess in every part. The business of the evening commenced by a hymn, sung with extraordinary gusto by the large audience. Prayer by a member of the land followed, and upon the chairman announcing an address by another member, great uproar and cries for "Harvey" followed. After silence was procured, the address was given, but was listened to very impatiently. At its conclusion, Harvey Teesdale came to the front of the platform, and was greeted with loud cheers, and those peculiar whistles and calls which must have been familiar to him in his theatrical days. These, however, were stopped by one of the leaders announcing that that was a "religious service." Teasdale produced a bag containing his "properties." He announced that Mr. Edward Lauri, clown at the Surrey Theatre, had kindly consented to be pre sent and see that all were destroyed, and that the pro perties and books were real—and this statement appeared to bo very satisfactory to the audience, who greeted Mr. Lauri with a hearty cheer. The work of demolition then commenced, Teasdale producing a dress which he said be longed to the "Dumb Man of Manchester," and handing it over to the brethren behind, who, with large shears and knives, quickly destroyed it. The dresses of " Scant mouch," and the other favourite characters of Teasdale, shared the same fate, while the motley garb of the clown, With the cap which "had gone through the clock face for the last time," Were Ispeedily reduced to shreds. The inantscript plays fffutted, each being handed to Mr. Latin firSt ftlr ekaithinetioh, and Teasdale explain ing the Various pieces and relating seine anec dote connected with them. Mr. Lauri stated that all the pieces had been offered to him for £2 10s., but that they had then been rqfttqed tq hilt. Xle as in Leeds that after noon, and there he heard that T *as had destroyed the same things there, and so he had come to see. This statement created some laughter, and provoked from Teasdale the rt mark that he had enemies in Leeds. The last property to be destroyed was the " monkey," and the audience were requested " not to be frightened," although it was " very hideous." A large stuffed figure was then brought on. It was the monkey dress of Teasdale, stuffed With shavings "to give thp people an idea of Ilar7ey Teasdale as he was and no sooner was it brought upon the plat form than it was seized and literally dragged to pieces by the enthusiastic band, amid great uproar, mingled with shouts of " Hallelujah." This concluded the principal part of the business, and a hymn was given out. The at tempt to sing was, however, a failure, and it was aban doned at the end of the first verse. An a ddress of an pzne usually florid and frantic style from a conve p whichrlthe fighter and nigger minstrel followed ; after musical disposition of the audience was agamerteadst this time with greater success. Various oth ,hich were of and hymns followed, and the proceedings, e d d e saes the most extraordinary character, were concluded about ten o'clock.—,S effield Independent., The Burning of the Bombay. PLYMOUTH, Jan. 23. A private letter, received at Plymouth from an officer at Rio Janeiro, gives a few further particulars of the loss of the Bombay. At 3.30 one watch was piped to quarters to exercise in firing. On the man whose duty it was to hand up shell going below he discovered the fire. The fire-bell was imme diately rang, and the pumps rigged and played on the fire, but the flames burst up the hatch ways, and in a few minutes all communication between quarter deck and forecastle was effectually stopped. The order was then given to cut all boats, and in eight minutes they were in the water, with the exception of the launch, and when that boat was being lifted the flames coming up the after hatch burnt the stay and she came down by the run. The greatest order, coolness, and intrepidity were dis played by all, Mr. Watts, the master, taking time of every occurrence with watch and notebook in hand. The mainmast soon went over the side. The order was then given to every one to look out for them selves. They immediately jumped overboard and swam to the boats lying off. Those who could not swim holding on by ropes; some fell and were drowned. Orders had been given for no boats to go near the burning ship, but the jollyboat, manned by volunteers, pulled in three or four times and brought away every one they could see. At seven p.m. the ship blew up, not a particle of her re maining. The boat arrived at Montevideo at 11 p.m. Dr. Smallborn, Mr. Frank lin, boatswain, and about 90 men are lost ; and the Admiral's sec retary, flag secretary, and clerks are all at Monte video. The Scotsman publishes the following extracts .rom a private letter written immediately after a conversation with Lieut. Stirling, who brought home Admiral Elliot's despatch : " The Bombay left Montevideo on the morning of the 14th Dec. for target practice. She was about 14 miles away when a man handing shells in the shell-room perceived a little jet of steam coming up from the after-hold, and immediately gave the alarm. This was between two and three o'clock. The pumps were instantly set to work, and all worked well. But the men were suffocated, and could hardly remain to work them, and the fire could not be kept under. On one side of the fire was the spirit-room, on the other the magazine. The spirit-room took fire, the casks burst, and the spirits ran all over the ship, which became one mass of flame. The order was given to lower the boats and escape. Some boats could not be lowered from the tackle being on fire. However, most of them were got out, but had to be kept at a good distance fromthe ship on account of the fire. Therefore, all had to jump in and swim off from the ship to reach the boats. All the officers could swim more or less ; many of the men could not, which accounts for the great loss of life among them. Mr. Stirling says he swims himself very badly, and was an hour and a half in the water before he could be picked up. Many of themen clinging to bits of the ship were killed too, he believed, by the cables falling away red hot among them, and by the melted lead, of which there seems to be have been a great deal in various parts of the ship for pipes, I think, and on the bowsprit. The melting lead pouring down on them made them loosen their hold of whatever they were holdingbyjand go down. The great anchors too,when their ropes were burned, fell and crushed them. The mainmast went over at a quarter to four, only three quarters of an hour after the first alarm of fire. By five o'clock, I think the crew were all either lost or saved. The magazine blew up about seven o'clock, and the ship went down, leaving not a ves tige behind. Not an article of any sort was saved but the clothes in which the officers and crew jumped into the sea, and most of them had thrown off jackets, &c., to jump in and swim. The be haviour of the men was perfect all through. The origin of the fire is quite unaccounted for. The regulations about fire, matches, &c., were very strict ; no petroleum or inflammable oils were used on board. The after-hold contained biscuits, salt pork, &c., but nothing of a more dangerous charac ter. The Bombay was only under sail at the time the fire was discovered. Had she been steaming there would have been a much better chance, by turning on the engines and getting the fire under. The weather was happily very fine, and the boats could therefore be reached and filled in a way that would have been impossible in less good weather, such as they almost invariably had up to that time. The Bombay was too far away from Montevideo for the fire to be early discovered there. But i[ think about five o'clock it was telegraphed by the Stromboli to Admiral Elliot, who went off in her towards the scene. He arrived in time to see her blow up. They got back to Montevideo about ten o'clock at night. Admiral Elliot had time only to write a hurried despatch. I imagine we shall have no letters. The French mail went off early next morning —Mr. Stirling in her. He says Admiral Elliot was well, but much cut up by the loss of the ship. Poor Captain Campbell, too, was well, and it seems as if no blame attached to him." " The Prince Imperial," says the Pays, " has re cently commenced the study of Latin. A reply given by the young Prince when he signed, after the Emperor, the marriage contract of Mlle. de Gondrecourt, has been talked of. The Emperor, having observed that the Prince was a long time in signing, the latter responded When one has a name like ours, it requires some time to write it.' " The Patrie announces that the latest advices from Rome confirm the successful termination of the nego tiations between the Courts of Paris and the Vatican rela tive to the 500 convicts, natives of the annexed provinces, at present in the Pontifical prisons. These men will be given up to the French Government and embarked at Civita Vecchia for Genoa. BRlSTOL.—Captain R. Tryon, R.N., has collected in Bristol £628 10s. to defray the entire cost of a lifeboat station. The National Lifeboat Institution has decided on renovating completely the Padstow Lifeboat Establishment on the Cornish coast with the money thus so benevolently collected by Captain Tryon. The late Prince Consort had granted his special permis sion that the small lifeboat previously at Padstow should be called the Albert Edward, after the Prince of Wales. On the very day (Nov. 9, 1862) that his Royal High ness came to his majority that lifeboat saved a ship wrecked crew—and the citizens of Bristol have cleared that their lifeboat should also bo called the Albert Ed ward. The boat has already rendered good service to vessels in distress. _ _ The report of the Joint-Stock Discount Company has been issued, from which it appears that the gross profits made during the six months ending the 31st ult., after reserving an amount as provision against loss in respect of bad debts greatly exceed ing that which it is believed will ultimately be found necessary, have been £46,172 13s. 10d. This amount, after deducting rebate on bills not due and the current expenses, has enabled the directors to increase the reserve fund to £30,000, to declare a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, amounting to 3s. 6d. per share, and to carry for ward £3,243 2s. 11d. to profit and loss new account.

" Tartuffe" and " Amphitryon," the first with Bressant and the second with that best of good actors, Regnier, have been revived at the Frangais. _ _ The Revue et Gazette Musicale informs us that rehearsals of "L'Africaine" take place at Paris twice a day—that is, every morning and evening, the first being devoted to the music, the second to the mice en scene. The orchestral rehearsals are said to have commenced on the 15th. We noticed some little time ago the opening of a new theatre—the " Theatre Saint-Germain"—in what used to be the wilds of the Quartier Latin, now Boulevard Sebas topol, Rive Gauche. It has come to grief and closed its doors. A couple of evenings before the final catastrophe a charming little operetta, in one act, was brought out there, called " Les Petits du Premier," the work of M. Emile Albert, well known in musical circles as a pianist and com poser. It is very favourably received, and contributed to shed a little brilliancy on the last moments of the doomed establishment. Mr. Balfe has left Paris on his return to London, Two English violinists, the brothers Holmes, who enjoy a deservedly high reputation in England, have been in Paris for the last few weeks. They have performed in several artistic reunions, and fully established their claim as virtuosi of the first order. Two "clairvoyant" brothers, rejoicing in the name of Bonheur, are just now drawing crowds to the Cirque. The younger is thrown into a magnetic trance by his elder bro ther, and gives proofs of extraordinary lucidity. The most wonderful part of the performance is worth describing. At the bidding of any one of the audience, who whispers his wishe; into the ear of the elder Bonheur, the " subject" rises from his chair, goes to a black board, and draws the portrait of any person whose name may be mentioned. As there is no apparent communication between the brothers this is certaintly rather startling.

Mrs. Bey Blunt's readings on Saturdays at the Hotel du Louvre continue to attract the public. Last week she read some of the best pages of " The Cricket on the Hearth," and the trial scene in the "Merchant of Venice" with great applause. In the "Favorita," which has just been produced at Rome, the customary caution of his Holiness's theatrical censor has completely changed the character of the piece, without changing the character of the music. The scenery and actors are Turkish, among whom the church music i the convent finale has a singularly misplaced effect. Bottesini, the great contra-bassist, has been creating a furore at Barcelona, not, as an executant, but as the com poser of an opera, ."Marion Delorme," about which the local papers are in raptures. He was presented with a. silver wreath by the orchestra, and with a handsome baton by the military band. Mr. Santley, the English baritone, is also said to have created a favourable impression on the Barcelonese public. Here is an operatic novelty. In a new opera produced at Prague by aM.

A special general meeting of this company was held yes terday at the Victoria Station, Pimlico, to consider the propriety of raising additional capital—Mr. Holroyd in the chair. The secretary having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said that an agreement had been con cluded with the London, Chatham, and Dover Company, but the details had not yet been settled, by which the construction of the extension line from Otford to Maidstone would be carried out, and therefore it was necessary to raise the authorised extension capital to carry out tat agreement. The creation of the new capital would not infringe in any respect on the existing agreements be tween the two companies. The construction of the exten sion line to Maidstone would be greatly to their advantage in respect of the traffic it would bring over the portion of the existing Sevenoaks line from Otford to its junction with the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway. He concluded by moving a formal resolution authorizing the creation and issue of share capital to the amount of £530,000 for the con struction of the extension lines ; the extension shares were to be issued in one or more classes, on such terms and con ditions as might be determined. Sir C. RoxiY seconded the motion, which was unani mously adopted. Resolutions were then passed to the effect that the pro prietors of the extension shares were to be entitled to a dividend up to 5 per cent. per annum out of the net profits of the extension lines, allowing 50 per cent. for working expenses, and authorizing the directors to borrow £176,000 on debentures. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. WATERFORD AND WEXFORD. The first ordinary meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, 17, Gracechurch-street; Sir C. P. Roney in the chair. Mr. Wood, the secretary, having read the notice conven ing the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said they held the meeting that day, in compliance with a clause in the company's act, for the elec tion of directors and auditors. He was happy to tell them that after some delay they had succeeded in making arrangements for the "construction of the works. The working plans were being prepared, and the surveyor and valuer had been appointed. With regard to the land re quired for the line, the price of a considerable portion of it wonld be' taken by landowners in shares. The con struction of the line was looked forward to with great in terest along the whole of the, district through which it was intended to pass. As to the probable period the works would be commenced he could not exactly say, but when they were commenced it was intended to proceed with them vigorously. The branch and works at Rosslare harbour, near Wexford, would also be carried on so as to form a direct line of communication from the South of Ireland by a short sea passage of 59 miles to South Wales, and rid the Great Western Railway to London. An independent com pany would make a short line to connect the Wexford line with Waterford. Satisfactory arrangements were being made with the Dublin, Wicklow, and Wexford Railway Company which would be beneficial, and the chairman of that company had told him that every facility should be afforded to the Waterford and Wexford Company to carry on their operations. By means of the Dublin and Wexford Railway there would be direct communication from Dub lin to Rosslare harbour, and from thence by the Water ford and Wexford and other lines to Cork and to Bandon, and by means of the West Cork line, now in course of construction, to Skibbereen ; and further, by a proposed line from the latter place to Crookhaven, which was now under consideration. The latter place was 80 miles west of Queenstown, and would make an excellent packet station, so that their railway would form a portion of an important coast line from Dublin to Crookhaven. Resolutions were passed electing Sir C. Roney and Messrs. Holland, Sedgwick, and Corry directors of the company, and adjourning the meeting to that day fort , night for the purpose of completing the board of directors and electing auditors. RAILWAY BILLS.

Destructive Collision on the Great Western Railway. Yesterday morning another collision, more serious in its results than either of the accidents of a similar character which have happened during the last few weeks at Pang bourne, Slough, and at Wallingford-road, occurred near the Didcot Junction. To avoid the curve in the line to Oxford, immediately after leaving that junction, a loop line was constructed some time ago, and the Northern trains, which are not timed to stop at that station, pass along the loop, which is about half a mile in length, and commences just as Didcot Station is reached. It appears that yester day morning, between 2 and 3 o'clock, a narrow gauge goods train passed safely down the loop line at full speed, and when it had reached the main line it ran with immense force into an up narrow gauge goods train, completely cut ting the train into two parts, and causing an amount of damage which will entail a considerable loss to the com pany. The up narrow gauge train was also proceeding at full speed, and should have been turned on to the up line of the loop,but from some unaccountable cause the switchman sent the train along the main line, and the consequence was that the down train ran into it. As it was dark at the time the drivers of the respective trains were quite ignorant of the approaching danger, and therefore the collision was most fearful. Several trucks were thrown upon each other and shattered to pieces, occupying not more than the space of one truck. The engine itself was forced completely over one of the trucks, and seven bullocks, which were being conveyed to the London market, were dreadfully mangled, the poor beasts being jammed in among the fragments, and their groads were pitiful to hear. In this shocking state they were compelled to remain until daylight, when they were drawn out and put to death. Resides the trucks that were piled high in the air 11 or 12 others were smashed, and the engine and tender were considerably damaged slid bent about. As in the ease of the previous collisions on this line it is marvellous that the accident did not cause the death of the engine driver and stoker, who Were bruised and greatly shaken but not seriously hurt. Immediately the collision became known telegrams were despatched to Paddington, Oxford, Swindon, and Reading, and a large force of labourers was sent from Paddington by a special train, and by daylight several hundred men were engaged at the spot clearing the line, under the direction of Mr. Tyrrell, superintendent of the line, Mr. Ridley, the district superintendent, and also the superintendent at Paddingtoia, but the work was difficult, and the whole of the northern traffic was worked upon th e d own line, and the trains were of course delayed. The switchm an, whose name is Allen, : he has received a hiseas spoken o gratuity o f been of x during the Crimean War . He possesses several medals, and is in the receipt of a pe n s io n from the War-office. The a s s i a being f t o r e g o a companyodsteady, conduct. ' s respectable man, and since s ery He served in the army contents of the trucks were scattered about and damaged, and there was quite a pool of brandy, wine, awl other liquors, which had been thrown out at the spot. :iit Share, 100 st I 20 `,...0i 201 20 100 100 100 . f 100 2 100 100 1001 1 102 li
