(Before the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN T. RUMBLE.-THE RAPPAFEINII OCK. The further hearing of this case was. reA 3umed this morning. Amongst the witnesses examined was Mr: Zacharah Pearson, of Hull—He said he purchased fne ship' from the Government, when she was for sale for .0,000. Sho was then a mere hull, and very much out of repair. Ile was, however, sold to a French firm f0ir,;.",X22,000, he being informed that she was intended for the Chine, trade- He, however, had some suspicion that - snae was tobe tray Jsferred to the Confederate service, but that was merely b.is own surmise. He obtained the prmission .of the Govern meat for certain repairs to be effected, but wit Ii the payment: of those repairs or the ship itself, Mr. Rumblohad nothing whatever to do. Ho did not even tell him that he believed. the ship was about to become a Confederate cruiser. Ho made but £5OO out of the purchase and sale of the, vessel, , as the pur chase money had been taken in Confede rate bonds. The result of the war in America, had been. most disastrous to him, as the Federals had seized his ships and the Con federates had detained his money. Bettwtoen the parties he had lost nearly £200,000. The case was proceeding when we NN wit to press, COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) MATHEWS V.

She became the manageress of. a small theatre in the Midland circuit, and the petitioner lost nearly all the money he had received for his commission, which he had disposed of a short time previously_ He then deter mined to go to sea, and during his al3gence the adultery charged was alleged to have taken pl ace. In 1864 peti tioner discovered that his wife was managing a theatre at Colchester, and he immediately instituted these proceed ings. The facts having been proved, the. Court made the decree POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREW. THE ALLEGED MURDER IN BARLEY -COURT.—Ann Smith was, this morning, placed at the bar, on remand, charged with killing Fwbert Lowe. The facts of this fatal case are already known, the poor fellow having met his death, it will be recollected, from being thrown from the front window of a house of ill-- fame. There being no additional evidence, the woman was committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DANGEROUS CItARACTERS- - lererniah Allen, of 19, Princes-row, shoemaker, George Smith, of 84, Dudley street, general dealer, and John Smith, address refused, excavator, were charged before Mr. Knox with loitering in Burlington-street, Savile-row, kc., for the purpose of com miting a felony. Binsted Webb, 112 C, said that at half-past eight last night he followed the three prisoners from Compton-street to Savile-row, and then to Old Burlington -street. The prisoner George walked back and looked about, and then joined the others, and all three went into a public-house. In about half an hour Allen and John Smith came out and returned to Savile-row, and crossing over Clifford-street, met him (Webb), then turned back and went into the pub lic-house again. George Smith then came out and walked into Savile-row, where he stooped to tie his boot, and he heard something jingle. He then took hold of him and asked him what he did there, and he replied " You have made a mistake this time." Davidson, 301 A, who had been in company with him, then came up with two skeleton keys which he had picked up. They then took George Smith to the station, and subsequently the other. On searching Allen they found part of a poker and some snatches. Henry Dawson, 301 A, after confirming Webb's evidence, said he saw George Smith stoop down to tie his boot in a door of No. 13, Saville-row, and he then heard a jingle. George Smith then walked on and Webb went after him. He (Dawson) went to the door, and on the first step found two skeleton keys just at the place where he had stooped to tie his boot. George Smith said that nothing was found on him, and the others said they were not doing anything when they were taken into custody. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners. _ MARKETS --This Day.

TIIE FUNERAL OF LADY WILLOUGHBY DE ERESBY. —Yesterday being fixed for the funeral of the late Right lion. Lady Willoughby do Eresby, the commissioners of Crieff, at a meeting held on Monday, recommended that all the shops and other public places of business should be closed from noon to 3 o'clock p.m., and that the town bell should be tolled at intervals during the day. The recom mendations of the magistrates was fully carried out. In the neighbouring parishes of Muthill and Comrie, business was also suspended for some time out of respect to the memory of the deceased lady. The remains of Lady Willoughby were interred in the family cemetery at Grimsthorpa, Lin colnshire. The commissioners of the burgh have agreed to send an address of condolence to Lord Willoughby, and to engross the same in the minutes. The commissioners have also resolved to meet in the Town-hall on Sunday morn ing and afterwards proceed to the parish church, where the Rev. Dr. John Cunningham is to preach a funeral ser mon.—Scotsman, Feb. 3. We have good reasons for believing that Mr. Montague Smith, Q.C., is to succeed to the puisne judgeship vacated by Mr. Justice Williams in the Court of Common Pleas. Mr. Smith was called to Bar in 1835, and obtained a silk gown in 1847. He has long been in exten sive practice, both in London and on the Western Circuit. His appointment will be very acceptable to the profession generally, and the more so as he has obtained it solely on the reputation he bears in his profession as a sound lawyer. He is a Conservative in politics, and sits in the House of Commons for Truro.

A MURDEROUS OFFER.—The following appears in the advertising columns of the Selma (Alabama) Dispatch :—" One Million Dollars Wanted, to Have Peace by the Ist of Marh.—lf the citizens of the Southern Con federncy will furnish me with the cash, or good securities for the sum of $1,000,000 I will cause the lives of Abraham Lincoln, William H. Seward, and Andrew Johnson to be taken by the Ist day of March. This will give us peace and satisfy the world that cruel tyrants cannot live in a land of liberty.' If this is not accomplished nothing will be claimed beyond the sum of $50,000 in advance, which is supposed to be necessary to reach and slaughter the three villains. I will give myself $l,OOO towards this patriotic purpose. Everyone wishing to contribute will address "X," box X, Cahaba, Alabama.---Dec. 1, 1864." SAVING FIRES.—A favourite piece of economy, so-called, consists in saving firing. Now, heat is life, and more food is required it the temperature of the body be not assisted by favourable external influences. How many economical managers, I wonder, take this into account when they put their households on " short com mons" of fires, and allow their children insufficiency of warm clothing ? The same folly extends to other matters. Many professors are expected to give their pianoforte l esson s in cold apartments, where, with benumbed fingers, pupils and teacher sit shuddering, and thinking more of their sufferings than the lesson in question. I have known more than one family who never allowed fires until a certain day in the year, however cold the weather. They have even carried the principle so far as to subject their visitors to the same treatment. I remember in particular a formal dinner -party in Novem ber whore, attired in the customary toilette, the guests sat shivering in presence of a very highly-polished, but per fectly empty steel grate. The only apology uttered by the gracious hostess was " Dear me, I'm afraid you feel cold ; we've not begun dress yet." Upon another occasion on coming off a long journey in the depth of winter, every vestige of landscape being covered with snow, I was shown into a bedroom replete with comfort, except with regard to the fire. There was a fire certainly, but the grate was so full of a detestable contrivance for saving coals called "fire balls," that it emitted neither warmth nor cheering rays. The mistresses in both these establishments prided themaolves on being very economical.—The Queen. The arrangements for warming and ventilating the Houses of Parliament have been placed byMr. William Cowper under the direction of Dr. Percy. WESTMINSTER, DISTRESSING CASE OP ROBBERY.—Matilda Sturgess, young woman of genteel appearance, only 19 years of ago, with an infant in her arms, was placed at the bar charged witli stealing a great amount of miscellaneous property. Elizabeth Ruddick, of 6, James-street, Marlborough road, Chelsea, said that the prisoner came to her house about nine weeks ago and took a furnished apartment, re presenting herself to be a married woman. She left the apartment a fortnight since, and after her departure it was discovered not only that she had stripped it, but that she had entered another room on the same floor, and had there helped herself from a chest of drawers to gowns, petticoats, chemises, night dresses, table linen, and other miscella neous property. Mr. Selfe—She represented herself, you say, to be a married woman when she took your apartments ? Mrs. Ruddick—She did. She was not then married, but has been married since she has been in our house. Mr. Selfe—Was her husband with her? Mrs. Ruddick —He came but seldom until the prisoner was confined with the last child she has in her arms. Prisoner exclaimed, "Oh, spare me, for the sake of my poor child ! " and she pressed the infant, which is only six months old, to her breast. A number of pawnbrokers produced different parts of Mrs. Ruddick's property, which they found to have been pledged by the prisoner. Mr. Ruddick identified the things, some of which had been cut and altered froM their original shape. The tickets had been found on the prisoner. Mr. Selfo said he should commit her for trial, and ordered the depositions to be prepared accordingly. THAMES. A MOST UNHAPPY PAlL—William Fisk, aged 27, a cellarman, of No. 1, James-street, Limehouse-fields, was brought before Mr. Partridge on a charge of being drunk and assaulting Anne Fisk, hi s wife. The complainant, a very pretty well dressed woman, said she had been separated from her husband five or six months in consequence of his cruelties. She met him ono day last week and, he struck her and gave her a black eye. She gave him into custody for that offence, but did not appear against him. Last night she met him again in the Com mercial-road, near the George, and he asked her to take him to her home and live with him again. She refused to do so, on which he used very bad language and swore he would kill her. He then pulled her clothes off. Her shawl and dress were torn to pieces and her bonnet crushed. Mr. Partridge—What are you ? Witness—A feather maker. The Prisoner—l was tipsy last night, and am very sorry for what I have done. I could a tale unfold respecting my wife, but I will not expose her, and there is an end of it. Mr. Partridge—Whatever your differences may be, you have no right to strike her or tear her clothes off. The prisoner—l know that, sir. The complainant—l would not live with him again if every hair of his head was hung with diamonds. Mr. Partridge said if the prisoner was brought before him again for illusing his wife he would punish him severely. He ordered him to enter into his own recognizances in the sum of £lO to keep the peace to his wife and all her Ma jesty's subjects for the next six months. THE CITY OF FLORENCE.—Few towns possess so excellent a pavement as Florence, which consists of large squared stones fitted together like masonry, with close joints. Such a pavement many would be inclined to think dangerous to horses, but their apprehensions would be en tirely dispersed after a few days' observation of the speed with which carriages whirl through the streets, requiring the utmost vigilance on the part of the pedestrian to escape being run over. The streets always seem clean, for there are really no materials out of which to make a puddle. The walls of the city, which are nearly six miles i n c i rc uit, re main entire with the exception of two lengths, which have been taken away to make room for the two modern citadels of the Belvedere and the Fortezza da Basso. The palaces of Florence are, generally speaking, on a smaller scale than those in Rome, but are purer in style, being many of them of the first period of the revival before the Renaissance had run into those excesses which make it so distasteful to Mr. Ruskin and the Gothicists. They are also chiefly built of stone, which after all is the material, in any climate, for a building of consequence. The kind of stone used is called "pietra serena," which is of a brownish colour, a little deeper News.tone, and of fine grain, almost like marble. — Building e l- B ks u h il i dreings lIER MAJESTY'S SHIP BOMBAY.—ARRIVAL OF CREW AT LIVERPOOL.—Tho surviving officers and crew of H.M.S. Bombay, recently destroyed by fire at Monte Video, arrived at Liverpool yesterday morning in the steamer Herschel. There were 474 persons in all. After marching through the streets to the railway station, headed by their band, they took their departure for Lon don. The men appeared to be very meanly clothed ; but it was stated that they refused fresh clothes, as they wished to receive whatever might be due to them in hard cash. VEGETABLES. Greens, dz bunch 5.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY. Although the weights for the Spring Handicaps are now fairly before the public, speculation in this market is un marked by any activity, and a duller winter than the pre sent one has never been known in betting circles in this city.

The attendance, as anticipated, was immense, though the weather was very uninviting. The course was in a most frightful condition ; so deep and sticky, in fact, that several horses who came to fulfil their engagements did not run at all, and in the first two races the second animal in each event came to grief after passing the winning-post. The heavy nature of the ground will preclude the running proving any guide to the future. The first race, a Handicap Plato for three-yr-olds and upwards, had 12 starters, and after an exciting race, though easily won, Sister Mary won by a neck. The winner was not generally backed, but her owner and friends took £2OO to £2O about her in one bet. The Two-Year-Old Stakes brought six to the post, and although the winner was backed for 50, and subsequently for "a pony" at 4 to 1, 5 to 1 was the current offer against her. Medicis, bought at Egham, after winning in a selling race for the French people for 280 guineas, by Mr. Geo. Angell, who subsequently disposed of her for a moiety of that sum, won the Selling Stakes, and changed owners for 70 guineas. The favourite, R. M. D., won the Harrow Steeplechase Cup, and the final race of the day, the Harrow Steeplechase Plate, was won by Shuttlecock. Further particulars will be found below.

Queen Bee, Tomfoolery, and Sister Mary made play about half a mile, where Sister Mary took up the running, and with Queen Bee quitted the others, who came on flounder ing in the dirt a long way in the rear. Queen Beo stuck closely to Sister Mary to the end, but never got up,' and was beaten easily by a neck, Chicquot the Jester a bad third, Toomfooleryfourth, Land of the West fifth, and Con fusion sixth. Almost immediately after passing the post Queen Bee came down a " broadsider," but fortunately neither jockey nor horse was injured.

NARROW ESCAPE OF LORD GOUGH.—We regret to be called on to record the complete destruction by fire of Lentran House, the property of Mr. Henry White, of Monar, and situated at a few minutes' walk from Lentran station, on the Ross-shire Railway. The occurrence took place on Sunday morning. For some time past the houso had been tenanted by General Sir Patrick Grant and his family, including his son, Captain Grant, and his relative, the veteran Lord Gough, all of whom have been spending the winter in the Highlands. The origin of the fire is as yet quite a mystery ; all that is known being that about three o'clock on Sunday morning one of the upper servants awoke nearly suffocated by smoke proceeding from an apartment above the drawing-room. She immediately gave the alarm, but before any stops could bo taken to ascertain the cause the flames had broken forth, and had gained complete control over the building. All that the inmates were able to do was to save themselves, and to carry off the silver plate and some of the paintings, everything else in the house being.left a prey to the flames. Lord Gough had a narrow escape with his life. He was carried out of his bed to a place of safety at a time when five minutes' delay longer would have insured his distrac tion. Gon. Grant was not in the house at the time of the occurrence. By 6 o'clock, after burning nearly 3 hours, the whole premises were an entire wreck, with the excep tion of a small addition recently made to the house, which was saved. Amid much that is valuable which has been destroyed, the friends of Gen. Grant will deeply regret to hear that he has experienced the irreparable loss of all his Indian journals, preserved with so much caro for many years. The house was, we understand, insured for .£1,300, a sum which cannot represent more than one-half its value.—lnveritess Advertiser. A NEW BED OF IRON ORE.—The discovery of a large bed of iron ore, combining, as it does, re markable geological formation, having attracted the inte rest and attention of some of the most eminent scientific men, as well as those connected with the iron manufacture, not only of this country, but of foreigners, a description of it will, no doubt, be interesting, particularly at a period when iron of a good quality is so indispensable for war ma terials and other purposes for which a superior article is so much in request. Tho bed in question lies between Kettering and Thrapston, and is on the property of Gen. Arbuthnot, contiguous to which a line, leased to the Midland Company, is in course of construction, and rapidly advancing to comple tion. It is on a slope facing the north-west, the extreme point lying due west, and running east, and extends rather more than a mile in length. The width of the bed has not been accurately ascertained,' but it is known to be con siderable. At the base of the slope the iron crops out, in creasing rapidly in depth as the ground rises, the highest point yet reached, the rock of iron, being from 27ft. to 30ft., and it is the opinion of those who have visited the places that the rock increases in depth as well as strength. The formation differs very materially from anything found in any locality. At about 6ft. from the surface above the rock in question is a bed of fire clay, immediately below which is a layer of freshwater shells. Underneath is a bed of alumina, a very pure milk white clay, which has been tested by Messrs. Minton of Stoke-on-Trent, and other emi nent men, and found to resist any degree of heat. Then ap pears a bed of very fine white sand, resting on a thick bed of various coloured sands, resembling what is found in Alum bay in the Isle of Wight, under which a variety of fossil plants are found, among others equisetum, a speci men of which is in the Royal Geological Museum in Jermyn-street. But what most interests the spectator is the iron. It is an iron rock. Many of the blocks are of immense size, and an eminent assayer calculates there are six or seven varieties, all differing in appearance, but all pure and rich. To test the quality in the furnace a sufficient quantity was sent to Stafford shire, wheie a trial was made to ascertain its value. The result has been most satisfactory, the report being that the produce resembles steel more than iron, and is well adapted to those purposes for which steel is now so much in request, with every probability of an increase for its demand. There is much to interest the naturalist, nautilus and many Varieties of sea shells being found in the iron rock. 100 100 100 109 10 100 10 1(0 10 100 9a/ 7 151 f f 5 4; 81 4 84 as 674 8 1221 1 / 2, 2 on pi 62, 12'11 1381 1 113 k & 711 10If 56 Rif 1 11011 i i ABItAIIAII LINCOLN.

POOR LAW INQUlRY.—Yesterday the Board of Guardians of the Strand Union received a commu nication from the Poor Law Board stating the result of the investigation which has been made by Mr. Farnall, the Poor Law Inspector, into the case of Mary Gibbs. It appeared from the evidence adduced that Mary Gibbs, residing in the parish of St. Anne, Soho, within the ambit of the Strand Union, was deserted by her husband, a jour neyman baker, who was alleged to have gone away in eNtrch of work, whereupon the landlord seized her goods and turned her out of the house. Having neither home nor food she applied at the offices of the Strand Union, Bow-street, for relief. She was there told that Mr. Lock hart, the relieving-officer, was absent, and she had better apply at the workhouse in the evening. It could not be ascertained who told her this, but it being past 12 o'clock Mr. Lockhart would have been absent at the time. On ap plying at the workhouse in Cleveland-street she alleged she was told that aashe had no order she could not be admitted, but that as she then stood in St. Pancras parish (the work house of the Strand Union being locally in St. Pancras) she must apply at the St. Pancras Workhouse. On going to St. Pancras Workhouse she was admitted into the casual ward. Tho next morning, on inquiries being made, she was told that as she had resided in the Strand Union she must apply there for relief. On making application at the Strand Union offices, Bow-street: sho was told that as she had slept in St. Pancras she must apply to St. Pancras for relief, and she had to return to St. Pancras Workhouse, where she is now staying, there being difficulties in the way of re moving her to her husband's parish. These circumstances having been brought under the notice of the Poor-law Board, Mr.Farnall was directed to investigate the matter, and the following letter of the Poor Law Board to Mr. Kilner, clerk to the Board of Guardians, Strand Union, states the result :—" Poor Law Board, Whitehall, Jan. 31.—Sir,--I am directed by the Poor Law Board to inform the guardians of the Strand Union that they have received from their inspector, Mr. Farnall, a report on the inquiry which he held into the case of Mary Gibbs, together with a copy of the evidence taken by him. The Board have carefully considered the evidence given in the case by Mary Gibbs and by Mr. Lock hart, and other officers of the Strand Union, and ffir th e t e , y s ar s of opinion that no blam e is a tt r ibutable to these lica on regards their proceedings on Mary Gibbs's first application to have p for relief, as they do not appear to have seen her As, however' been informed of her application on that d t a been deserted been living in the Strand Union, and;house, was undeniably for relief had b li y a h rY er G h i u b s b b s a to have received relief up nd atondthteurntimede out t li c) e fh t h • t a e pp h li a ca vin io y g n . destitute, it is clear that she ought She alleges that she not distinctly shown by the evidence.•nßovr-strect after the hour (12 applied at the relief otlice e s k from that Union.

From whatever circumstances the failure of Mary Gibbs to obtain relief may be attributable, this result must be considered unsatisfactory, and every care should be taken to prevent such an occurrence again. For this purpose the Board would suggest that the relieving officer should be enjoined strictly to observe the regulations as to the attendance at the office in Bow-street, which have been properly laid down bythe Guardians, and that all per sons at the office should be instructed to refer any applicants for relief to any one of the officers who may be in attend ance, and in the event of the accidental absence of all of these that the applicant should remain until their return, in order that the applications might be properly dealt with. The Guardians should also give positive orders that not only the porter, but any other persons temporarily in charge of the ... plying for admission without informing the master, i and e gate of the workhouse should not send away anypersonseP re ceiving his directions as to the mode in which tlo yc.,, _ bedisposed of.—l am, &c., CHAS.
