(Before Sir J. P. Wilde.) MADD V. MAUD. This was an undefended suit by the wife for judicial separation, on the ground of cruelty. The learned counsel for the petitioner read some letters written by the respondent admitting ill-treatment, and the marriage, which took place in 1863, having been proved, Robert John Eldridge, the son of the petitioner by her first husband, said that he lived near his mother, at Woodville-terrace, Harrow-road, but fJr some time was unacquainted with the fact of her marriage. He identified the signature of both parties to the marriage register. In August last he called at her mother's and saw her with her face bound up, and in going to her room ho saw the respondent lying on the scfa in a state of intoxication. His mother refused to tell him how she had received the injury in her face, and ordered him out of the house lest he should disturb the respondent. On the 23d of the following month he was attracted to his mother's house by screams issuing from it, and he succeeded in getting in. The respondent, who had a large stick in his hand, seized his mother by the throat, and threatened to murder her, but he interfered and turned him out of the house. The petitioner and other witnesses were called, who proved the case, and in the course of examination it was elicited from the former that the ground for keeping the marriage secret was that she was intitled to between £4OO and £5OO a-year, which she would lose in the event of-her second marriage being known. His Lordship said that acts of violence were proved not only by evidence, but by the admission of the respondent himself in the letter which ho had read. The wife, no doubt, was very foolish to sacrifie £4OO or £5OO a year for such a man, but she was entitled to the protection of the Court. He would therefors decree judicial separation. There was no application respecting costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. --41. BOW-STREET. Naval and Military Intelligence.

Hazlitt begins his essay on the tragedy of " Lear" with the words, " We wish that we could pass this play over, and say nothing about it"—a remark with which the critic would gladly dismiss Dean's acting of it, not because of any shortcoming or in adequacy therein, but because all that can be said in a few hurried words must fall far short of the subject itself, and of what the writer conceives of it. To say that Charles Kean was, in the first place, true to Lear's rash hate, his violent impetuosity, his blindness to everything but the dictates of his pas sion, or affections that produces all his misfortunes, that aggravates his impatience of them, that enforces our pity for him ; to say that he passed over all that awful interval, through the pitiful sense of ingrati tude, cruelty, and final bereavement, to that of Matter in impertinency mixed ! Reason in madness !" is to say perhaps what will best recall his action to those who witnessed ; and words are indeed feeble to describe or even suggest it to those who were not present with Kean through all Lear's terrible transi tions frDm proud and wilful strength to hopeless madness, and the helplessness of age, and grief, and death. If Mr. Kean was grand in the most stormy passages, it was in the more pathetic ones, with which fortunately the play, except in the opening scene abounds, that he was most himself and most the character he assumed. The gradual dawning of the consciousness of his daughters' ingratitude, his struggles against it, his eager haste to seize upon any pretext which could afford him a moment's rest from mad dening grief, the perversion (obscuring, it cannot be said), of his wits, his fear of madness, his struggles against it, and his convictions of its approach and presence—all were presented with a fidelity which by turns moved the audience to indignation, pity, grief, and terror as though all were real. No one who saw can ever forget Lear's ironical prayer, in which there was a thousand times more of tender ness than of sarcasm, as he kneels before his cruel daughter, "Dear daughter, I confess that I am old ;" his pathetic appeal to the heavens, " if your selves are old, make it your cause ;" his half rational pled , " I am a man, more sinned against than sinning ;" his pitying and pitiful cold comfort to the fool, " Art cold ? I'm cold myself !"—his transition in Act 111. to unmixed madness, in contrast with the assumed madness of Edgar, (excellently performed by Cathcart), and above all, the tender, half-sure, half-doubtful recognition of Cordelia in the closing act, " Be your tears wet ?" To name Mr. Kean in these few culminating pas sages is to praise Wm in all the scenes of the most consistent, sustained, and truly powerful assump tion he has yet given. His Lear is superior to his Louis XI., not in act, perhaps, or in fidelity to W_s theme, but because of the thousand points of sym pathy between it and all the human hearts that re spond to its indignant or pathetic appeals. It only remains to say, in the same general terms, that Mr. Everett played the noble role of Kent with really commanding power, and Miss Chapman that of Cordelia with intelligence and feeling. The house was well filled. MUNIFICENT DONATION.—The friends and sup poiters of the British House for Incurables, Clapham-rise, will be gratified to learn that the Most Hon. the Marquis of Townshend has lately presented the noble sum of £l,OOO to the funds of that excellent charity. In the Court of Chancery yesterday Vice-Chan cellor Wood, on the motion of Mr. John Camden Hotton, the publisher, granted an injunction restraining certain parties from the publication of his edition of " Artemus Ward." It has been so edited and annotated by Mr. Hotten that he is able to claim the protection of the law THE LATE CASE OF ALLEGED POISONING BY A SWEETHEART, AT SALISBURY.—Wm. John Storer, the surgeon's assistant lately charged with administering strychnia to Miss Emily Sophia Blake, the daughter of Mr. Blake, surgeon, of Salisbury, has, since his committal, en deavoured to obtain poisonous drugs, with the view, it is supposed, of committing suicide. He wrote out a prescrip tion under an assumed name, and addressing a letter to Messrs. Savory and bthore, of London, succeeded in in ducing a newly engaged turnkey to post it for him, a further arrangement being also made for the " medicine," on its arrival, to bo left at the turnkey's house. Messrs. Savory and Moore, finding that the prescription included a dose of morphia more than sufficient to destroy life, imme diately put themselves in communication with the police at Salisbui y. The result of their investigation went to prove collusion between the turnkey and the prisoner. The turnkey was at once suspended, and a further inquiry into the matter has been entered upon by the .visiting justices. We are now, however, informed that these calculation; favourable as they appeared, underrated the productive ness of the revenue, and exaggerated the probable expen diture. The actual income of the American Government for the quarter ending at Michaelmas last was upwards of £29,000,000, representing a yearly sum of £120,000,000, instead of £80,000,000, or an excess of 50 per cent. above the estimate. At the same time Mr. MiCulloch had reduced his estimate of the year's expenditure to £52,000,000 in. place of £70,000,000, so that the gain would be equally remarkable on both sides of the sheet. Nor are these new figures necessarily to bo suspected. We observed at the time that the calculation of £70,000,000 as the expenditure of an ordinary year was so liberal as to savour of extra vagance, and that it would probably be found to admit of reductions when brought to test. The receipts, again, of the last quarter represent a mere matter of fact, though we are not told whether the quarter question can be taken as a fair sample. The general statement, however, does undoubtedly suggest a most favourable view o American Finances—so favourable, indeed ; as to make us fear that the Americans may be proposing too much ; but there are certain points on which information is still very desirable. If it should prove that the wants of the Union do really not exceed £50,000,000 or £60,000,000, it cannot reason ably be expected that the Amer 'cans should be willing to have twice that sum extracted from their pockets. Th ey will ask, of course, for the repeal of superfluous taxes. We should do the same, and it has, indeed, been the policy of financiers generally to keep the strain upon the national resources as small as possible. Mr. Gladstone stands almost alone in his desire to see the public debt reduced by more active treatment than we apply to the case, anti it is commonly thought that if we render the charge of the debt easily supportable by relieving taxpayers from pros sure we are doing enough. The Americans, it is true, are so far in accord with their Chancellor of the Exchequer at this minute that they express a decided objection to the perpetuation of the burden which they have assumed. They have loudly declared that, in some way or other, the debt must be rapidly liquidated, and that a new country like theirs cannot resign itself patiently to the incubus endured by the uld nations of the world. But we are already told that they may be expected to rebel against the only policy by which their desires could be gratified, nor aro we surprised at the spectacle. The sight of a people raising £60,000,000 for current needs, and £60,000,000 more for payments of their debts, would be an unparalleled phenomenon. At this rate the Americans might unquestionably clear off their whole debt in ten years' time, but the speculation is too incredible to be entertained. The truth is, such works are works less of effort than of endurance. It is very easy to borrow, but not so easy to pay. The mere calculation that the people of the United States can, if they please, raise a surplus revenue of £60,000,000, and that the present estimates of income and expenditure would really present this result, is in it self an extraordinary testimony to the resources of iho country. But we are not believers in the theory of con vulsive action as applied to Finan . ce. We place greater reliance in the steady operation of moderate or insensible forces. We know well that the Americans can pay their way if they please, and if they should make fair provision for doing so, and for cancelling their debts by easy and graceful instalments, they would be doing quite enough to establish their financial credit in the eyes of the world. It would not be good policy, according to our notions of finance, to attempt much beyond this—at any rate, at first. The Americans have given proof of many things, but there is one thing of which proof has to come yet, and that is their ability to bear pressure patiently for years to gether without the excitement of national strife or triumph. It is in their interest that we should regret to see this pressure applied too severely in the first stage of the ex periment.—Tizzies. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

Mr. Abrams appeared for the prosecution. Tho complainant, whose face was severely cut and scared in three places, stated that on Wednesday afternoon the prisoner was in front of de bar, beating and knocking his sister, a girl of fourteen years of age, in a very cruel manner. Witness told him not to do that, but he persisted, and witness then jumped over the counter and put him out. He returned after a short interval, and ,witness again crossed the counter, and sent the potman for a police-con stable. As soon as the policeman was gone, the prisoner stabbed witness in the face with some sharp instrument. Witness could see the gleam of the steal, and felt it prick, each blow. The prisoner inflicted three wounds on his face, and then ran away. Witness followed him for some distance, but, becoming blinded by the blood flowing over his eyes from th 6 cuts, he was ob liged to, desist from further pursuit. He afterwards came to the court, and obtained a warrant, on which the prisoner was apprehended by-Constable 129 F. The prisoner said his sister had run away from school, and he wanted her to go hone. This she refused, and as he was pursuing her Norman challenged him to fight. MABLB ORO UGH-S TREE T. RECAPTURE OF A PERSON CHARGED 'WITH DEFRAUD ING MESSRS: HOWELL AND JAEES.—On the Bth of Feb ruary, 1864, two persons named Wm. Arnati and Henry Jones, were committed from tlis court on the charge of obtaining, by conspiring together, a quantity of property from Messrs. Howell and James, silk mercers, Regent street. Arnati and Jones were allowed to go at large, on bail, and a true bill was found against them. Arnati failed to surrender to take his trial, and had been at large ever since ; Jones remaining out ou bail till called upon to take his trial. Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Matthews, 13 F, met Arnati in the Strand, and, addressing him by name, told him that he had a warrant, signed by the judge, for his apprehension, and ho then took him into custody. Mr. Levy, of Bow-street, appeared for•the prisoner. Mr. Yardley ordered Sergeant Matthews to be sworn, and hearing from him that the sigiature to the warrant was that of the Assistant Judge (Mr. Bodkin), and that the prisoner was the person mentioned in the warrant, com mitted him for trial. Mr. Levy asked that some money found on the prisoner might be given up to him. Mr. Yardley said he could not interfere. It was a matter for the judge. The prisoner was then committed. THAMES. A VERY TROUBLESOME OFFENDER.— ,Tames Bash, a hay dealer, of Hornchurch, in Essex, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with two offences,—the first for being at a distance from his horse and cart and not having proper control over the horse in a public road ; the other with not having his Christian and surnapemainted on hiqsart. A police-constable named Beer, No. 189 K, said that on the 2d of September last he saw the prisoner's horse and cart proceeding along the Bow-road, and no one attending to the animal. He met the prisoner 400 or 500 yards from the cart and spoke to him. He accompanied the prisoner to the cart. Thera was no name or address upon it. Inspector Kerresey, of the K division, said the prisoner had given much trouble and expense to the police. A summons was served upon him, to which he did not ap pear. Another summons met *with no better success. Two warrants were granted, and the prisoner was apprehended yesterday at Hornehurehly two police constables. The expenses had been at least 10a, and the time of the sum moning officer of the court was sacrificed for two days, and two other policemen for two days more. The prisoner made a long defence. He could not deny substantially the offences alleged against him. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner was a foolish and obsti nate man to give so much trouole. Ho fined him 108., and 10s. in addition for costs. TEAR Ups.—. Two batches of "tear ups" were brought before Mr. Partridge. The first batch consisted of Wm. Coal, aged 28, George Smith, 14, Thomas Jones, 14, and John Williams, 12, who were admitted to the Poplar Workhouse last night as "casuals," and tore up all their clothes. The second batch consisted of Thomas Roberts, 50, James Roberts, 45, and James Simpson, 37, who sought a night's refuge in Ratcliff Workhouse last night, and also tore up their clothes. Each el the prisoners put the parishes to the expense of new clothing. Mr. Partridge sentenced the adult prisoners to 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour, and said the boys Smith, Jones, and Williams, were friendless and fatherless, and must be passed to their respective parishes. Merrick, the superintendent of labour at Poplar, said a great number of boys were admitted as casuals last night. Mr. Paget had said that the boys-- • Mr. Partridge interrupted, and said he did not care what other people said. He was responsible for his own actions. He would not send boys like those before him to prison. If they were not taken to the workhouses to which they belonged, he would send them there under the Industrial Schools Act. Police-sergeant Gamble, of the K division, said there was another batch of tear-ups at the station-house, who had destroyed their clothes in a casual ward of one of the work houses and been supplied with others. They had again torn up their clothes in the police cell, and could not be brought before the magistrate, until more clothes be sup plied to them. Mr. Partridge said the parishes were not bound to supply casual paupers with clothes as fast as they tore them up. The casual paupers must be taught they . could not set the laws at defiance with impunity. The police had no occa sion to hurry the case. If the casual paupers had torn up their clothes, they ought to be detained without any as long as possible. They could be brought up at four o'clock in the afternoon. They would be cool by that time. (Laughter.) ENCOUNTER WITH 1. BURGLAR.—About one o'clock on Wednesday morning, Mr. Atkinson Pickering, druggist, Hull, was disturbed by hearing a noise. He called to Mr. Raymond, his assistant, and asked him if anything had fallen. Mr. Raymond answered in the nega tive, and they both proceeded to search the dwelling house, but nothing was found to create alarm or suspicion. They they ascended the steps leading to the warehouse, and after reaching a room on the third flight, Mr. Raymond was knocked down by a man who had been concealed in a room. The burglar then got through a window which overlooks the roofs of sone houses, and as ho wr.s escaping, Mr. Raymond, who had recovered himself, throw a poker at him, but missed his nark. The police were called in, but an ineffectual search was, made for the man. A LADY CHARGED WITH THEFT.—The wife of a gentleman who possesse3 considerable property in Lam beth was yesterday, at 63 Southwark Police-court, com mitted for trial on a charge of attempting to steal a velvet mantle, the property of a Draper in Newington-causeway. The shopman affirmed tint he saw her secrete the mantle beneath her dress, and tlat when he impeached her with the theft the stolen property. fell on the floor. The de fence was that the mantle was hanging on the back of a chair, and that it foil as Vie lady roso. She was admitted to bail. AN EXPRESS TRAIN' IN PERIL.—On Tuesday night, the passengers 15 . the evening express train from Newcastle to Sunderland, on the North Eastern branch line, had a narr=ow escape. As the train neared Cleador.- lane station, and when running at the rate of forty miles an hour it ran into a hone and cart left standing upon the line. The vehicle belonEed to Mr. Robert Hairnet, potato merchant, who in going from Tyne Dock to Cleadon, had to cross the railway on a level. While he was opening a gate to pass through be la the horse and cert standing right across the rails, - without taking the precaution to look along the line. At that moment the train came up, and, it being quite dark, the engineman was unable to see the obstruction until right upon it. The horse was killed and the cart smashed to pieces, while the train itself with difficulty kept the line, and the passcpgers experienced a sever jolting.—Leeds Aircurg. The screw frigate Bristol, 3,027 tons, 600-horse power, Capt. Leveson E. H. Somerset, flagship of Commodore G. T. P. Hornby, recently fitted at Sheerness for service on the west coast of Africa, made her official final trial of speed yesterday at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth, under the usual measured mile conditions. The wind did not exceed a force of 4, the furnaces in the ship's stoke-hole were delivered over to the charge of the trial stokers from the steam factory of Portsmouth Yard, and the fires were fed with hand-picked Welsh coal. The frigate was under way by 8 a.m. yesterday morning, and was at once taken on the trial ground. Commander Brett, of her Majesty's ship Asia, had charge of the ship as the officer com manding the Steam Reserve, and the performances of the engines and boilers were under the super vision of Messrs. Ward and Murdoch, of the steam factory and reserve. The ship's draught of water, after having stowed her anchor and made all ready for running the mile, was 20ft. llin. forward and 23ft. 11in. aft, the wind being at a force of from 3 to 4. It was from S.S.E., and there was a slight movement of water over the vessel's course, but not enough to affect her speed in the slightest degree. Under these conditions 10 runs were made, six with full and four with half boiler power, with the following results :—Full boiler power, six runs; 12.371, 10.286, 12.587, 9.524,13.043, 9.549 knots; the mean of the six runs giving the ship a true mea sured mile speed of 11.272 knots. The mean va cuum was 261 in., with the safety valve loaded at 201 b., and the revolutions of her engines were, maximum 60, minimum 58. The four runs with half boiler power gave 11.726, 7.214, 11.077, and 8.163 knots ; the ship's mean speed being 9 . 346 knots. In testing the ship in making circles, she exhibited no properties differing from the greater number of ships of her class or calling for particular remark. In comparing the results of yesterday's trial with the recent Maplin Sand trial, it will be found that yesterday the ship gained an additional speed of 0.676 knot with full boiler power, and 1.292 knot with half boiler power, a mean excess of 2 being also gained in the revolutions of the engines. The ship's machinery is from the manu factory of Messrs. Napier, of Glasgow. The boilers primed somewhat freely during the trial, but other wise both boilers and engines worked most satisfac torily. The Bristol was expected to have sailed from Spithead for her station to-morrow, but cer tain defects in the shipwright department have been discovered, which may possibly delay her departnre until Monday next. The Bristol is a fine, roomy, and well ventilated frigate—considerations of no mean importance in a ship serving on the coast of Africa. The screw steam sloop Amazon, 4, has been placed in No. 3 dock, Keyham steamyard. The ironcased ship Lord Clyde, 24, has been re moved from Hamoaze into Keyham basin, to com plete for the first division of the Steam Reserve. The sailing frigate Flora, 40, Staff Commander John Rees, which will in a few days proceed to Ascension as a storeship, is now alongside the De vonport dockyard, receiving her bolts ; she will shortly be removed into the Sound. By the mail steamship Briton, which arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday, we learn that the French ship of war Lynox, from Bourbon, which arrived at the Cape Sept. 26, left on the 30th for Rochfort. Her Majesty's screw steam gun-vessel Serpent, from Plymouth, which arrived Sept. 8, left on the 27th for China. The screw steam sloop Rapid, 11, Com mander Charles T. Jago, left Simon's Bay Oct. 11, for Table Bay. The transport Mauritius, from Algoa Bay, put into East London Oct. 5, and left again on the following Sunday for Natal and Mauritius, taking for the former port 37 men, two women, and two children of her Majesty's 99th Regiment ; Ensigns Kennedy, Cooch, and Brak s:one, eight men, one woman and child of the Royal E n gineers; Depty-Assist.-Com.-Gen. Desbarres and three Army Hospital Corps men, two women and nine children, ono man of the Cape Mounted Rifles, and Mr. Romilly. The paddlewheel steamer Adder, Mr. Blakey, master commanding, left Chatlrm harbovr at day light yesterday morning, having on board the staff and a large number of officers from the headquar ters of the Royal Engineer Department for convey ance to Shoeburyness, for the purpose of witnessing the artillery experiments undertaken to test the powers of various descriptions of ordnance against defensive works. Capt. Thomas Wilson, R.N., has been appointed Captain-Superintendent of Greenwich Hospital, under the 28th and 29th of Victoria, cap. 89. The appointment is to date from the 12th Oct. last. First Lieut. A. Fonblanque, R.M., is appointed Adjutant of the Woolwich division of the Royal Marines, vice Shairp ; First Lieut. J. W.

Nicoll to embark to-day at Southampton on board the mail steamer for Jamaica. Ensign A.D. A. Furse, 2d West India Regiment, is also to em bark at Southampton to-day for Barbadoes. Staff Assist.-Surg. Tate and Ensign Lynch, 2d battalion (Prince Albert's) Light Infantry, have re ceived orders to proceed from Chatham and embark at Gravesend to-day, on board the Mutlah, for the Mauritius. Yesterday the chartered troopship Isabella, which has been taken up by the Government for the con veyance of troops to Ceylon and the East Indies, embarked at Government -quay, Gravesend, the fol lowing detachments for Colombo—viz., 102 non commissioned officers and men, five women, and six children of the 2d battalion 25th (King's Own Bor derers) Regiment, from the 9th Depot Battalion, Preston, one n on-commissioned officer of the Ar m y Hospital Corps, and one staff-sergeant's - wife and three children, for Colombo, with one staff -sergeant of the 105th Madras Light Infantry, for Madras. The following officers embarked with the detach ments—viz., Lieut. C. F. Barnardiston, and Lieut. C. D. Swete and wife, 2d battalion 25th Regi ment ; Lieutenant H. K. Fenwick, and Lieutenant J. B.

Congreve, who, with the other offi cers of the Staff at Chatham garrison, superintended the einbarcation of the troops yesterday. The Isa bella will leave the Thames in the course of to-day. By direction of the authorities the diving opera tions which have been so successfully carried out by means of Heinke's improved diving apparatus, now exclusively used at the Royal Engineer establish ment, Chatham, during the season just terminated, are ordered to be suspended, the official report of the number of officers and men who have gone through a course of diving, and the nature of the submarine work undertaken, being forwarded to the authorities. A report of some highly important diving operations, effected by means of Heinke's apparatus, was received at Brompton barracks yesterday. The divers were sent down the Gurneypit, Pembrokeshire, to a depth of 105 fathoms, for the purpose of removing some of the pumping gear. which had become detached, and caused the flooding of the pit. The undertak ing, from its novelty, was attended with unusual difficulties, but was successfully completed by Messrs. Wilton and Bolton, the divers employed, the occasion being, it is understcod, the first in which divers have been engaged in such a work.

The Income and Resources of America. It is reported that Mr. Caleb Cushing, who comes to this country on a special mission from America, is in structed not only to co-operate wall Mr. Adams in bring ing the respective claims of the two Governments to a settlement, but to ascertain the opinions prevailing is Eng land on the subject of .American Finance. We hope the rumour may be well founded. Such a purpose would strongly attest the pacific dispositio n of the American Government, since nothing could place the financial pro spects of the Union in a less favourable light than any indications of an opposite policy. It will, of course, be imagined that a country anxious about its national credit may be contemplating some employment of that credit in. the money-market, but to that there can be no objection. It is both natural and right for the Americans to maintain or enhance the value of their securities by promoting their financial reputation, and as good credit in the present day means sound policy and good administration, it is for the benefit of the whole world that such views should be en couraged. This is not the first occasion on which the Americans have displayed a solicitude about the financial condition of their country. Towards the beginning of the autumn an expedition or address upon the subject was publicly deli vered at Frankfort by a gentleman commissioned to under take that duty ; and the Estimates, as we should say, of the ensuing year were broadly sketched for the edification of the audience. It ,was frankly confessed on the part of the Amer:can Treasury that the public debt of the Uirited States amounted to £600,000,000, and that the interest thereon would exceed £30,000,000 yearly. It was com puted that the cost of the Army and Navy, even on a peace footing would be £27,000,000, and that the remaining charges would bring up the tot9l expeneittire of the year to £70,000,000. But, on the other hand, it was asserted that the income from Customs might be est i mated at £16,000,000, that the Internal Revenue would produce £60,000,000, and that receipts from miscellaneous sources would bring the whole amount up to £30,000,000. On this presumption, therefore, a surplus of £10,000,000 would be available for the extinction of debt after all the expenses of Government had been defrayed —a very satisfactory prospect indeed.

DR. HUNTER'S CASE.—A change has been made in the solicitors for the defence. The case is now in th© hands of Messrs. Lewis and Lewis, of Ely-place, who are most active in getting up evidence to rebut the serious charge hanging over his head. It is expected that some most extraordinary disclosures will come out. The case still excites the greatest amount of interest at the West end. 100 et I 20i 10 100 1 100 100 100 all 100 100 190 100 100 1i 0 100 100 16i I 1 101/ 1 11
