COURT OF DIVORCE. THE CODRINGTON CASE.-JUDGMENT. In this matter tho Judge Ordinary gave judgment this morning on the question of costs, and also on the question of a new trial. His Lordship, in an elaborate judgment, said the Court would not go the length of absolving Colonel Anderson from the costs of proving against him the adultery which he put in issue, and therefore so far condemned him to pay , them. He will not have to bear the costs of Mrs. Codring ton, nor the costs of th i p petitioner in proving the case against her in respect of Lieutenant Mildmay, nor the costs of the adjournment, which arose entirely on that branch of the case. The Judge Ordinary therefore made the order refusing a new trial, and condemning Colonel Anderson in the costs as far as specified. POLICE INTEL LIGENCE—This Day MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULTING A LICENSED VICTUALLER AND THE POLICE. —Charles Harris, clerk, of 27, Margaret-street, Westmin ster, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and creating a disturbance at the, Devonshire Arms public house, at the corner of Sherwood-street, and assaulting Mr. Tollman, the landlord, and police-constables, 299 A, and Hunter, 45 C. Mr. Tollman said the prisoner came into his house last night after some person with whom he had been having an altercation outside, and made use of very bad language. He requested the prisoner to leave, and, as he refused to do so, got over the counter to put him out. The prisoner con tinued to make use of very foul language, and struck him on the nose and in the eye, and tried to throw him. He then gave the prisoner into custody. Watson, 299 A, proved seeing the prisoner strike Mr. Tollman, and as soon as he took him into custody he sot to kicking him and tried to bite him. Hunter, 45 C, after corroborating the previous witness, said he was kicked by the prisoner several times on the way to the station, the prisoner being very violent. The prisoner said he had been robbed of his coat and some money, and had been drinking and did not recollect what occurred. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that even if the prisoner had been drinking he had no right to go to a man's house and create a disturbance, publicans being under very sharp laws as to the manner in which they carried on their business. He should fine the prisoner 20s. or 14 days for the assault on Mr.Tollman, commit him for seven days . for the asssult on the first constable, and fine him ss. or a week for the assault on the second constable. Agnes Barrett, a young unfortunate, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with disorderly conduct in the Haymarket, and Mr. Leonidas Wheate, of No. 4, Langham-street, Portland-place, artist, was charged with attemptih to rescue the female from the custody of the police. Samuel Reeve, 85 C, said that about half-past 12 last night he saw the female put out of Barnes's—the Grapes— in the Haymarket. She refused to go away, and created a disturbance—a large crowd of persons and a number of constables being drawn to the spot. A gentleman then came to the door of the house, and the female prisoner then struck him with her fan. She was then taken intol custody, when the male prisoner came up and interfered, and tried to rescue her. The male prisoner said he had no desire to get the gir away from the police. All he did was to prevent her being ill-used by anybody. As was usual with his countrymen, his sympathies were enlisted when ho found a young woman being ill-used, she complaining of being struck by some one in the house. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the male prisoner said he was an American. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would discharge the female ; bu the male prisoner he was bound to fine ss. The fine was paid, Mr. Wheate stating that he would do willingly, as he would always interfere when he thought a female was being ill-used. ROBBING A BARMAlD.—Catherine Grogan, described as a servant, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch, some dresses, and other articles of the value of £l3 10s., the property of a young woman named Kate Watts, barmaid at the Bell Tavern, 5, Leicester-street, Leicester-square. The prosecutrix said a short time ago the prisoner, who was employed as servant at the Bell Tavern, Leicester street, Leicester-square, suddehly left the house, and directly after she was gone she missed her gold watch and some dresses, of the value of £l3 10s. She heard no more of the prisoner till last night when she was brought to the house by a constable. A constable said that last night he saw the prisoner sit ting on the steps of a door crying. He asked what was the matter, and she said she was in great trouble, that she had no friends nor place to go to. She said she had taken some dresses from the Bell tavern, but not a watch, as supposed. She said she wanted to give herself up. He then took her to the Bell tavern, and finding that some dresses had been stolen, as also a gold watch, he took the prisoner to the station, where she was charged. The prisoner said that while engaged at work in the house she had some drink given to her, and she was com- plained of for not doing her work. She at once left, taking the barmaid's dresses, which she pledged in the Westmins ter-road. She however did not take the watch. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. WESTMINSTER. COWARDLY OUTRAGES.—DanieI Reardon was charged with the following disgraceful outrage : Mrs. Elizabeth Hesper, of 15, Caroline-place, Marl borough-road, Chelsea, was the complainant, and presented a wound on the head which had been dressed at the hospi tal. She said that she was sitting at home at seven o'clock last evening with her husband, whenthe defendantknocked at the door, and, upon its being opened, inquired for his wife. He was told that she was not there, and invited to come in and look for himfelf. Defendant, who was drunk, then challenged complainant's husband out to fight, and on his declining, struck him on the side of the head. Com plainant said she would fetch a policeman, upon which the defendant used the most disgusting language, struck com plaidant, seized her by the shoulders, and wilfully threw her with great force upon the pavement. Her head was cut open by his violence, and she became insensible. Defendant said that he sent to the house in search of his wife, whom the complainant encouraged in habits of drunkenness. Mr. Arnold—You complain that this woman encourages your wife to drink, and, in order to set her a very good example, you get drunk yourself. Defendant—l merely pushed the woman, and she fell. I am very sorry for it. A young woman was called, who clearly proved the wil. 'ul and violent character of the assault. Mr. Arnold—This is a very violent assault, which there appears to me to be nothing to excuse. You were told by defendant that your wife was not at complainant's, and then attack her in this way and seriously injure her. You are committed for two mouths. iv 13. hnesses ded th e yester- La and ser to.% G' , 0 hou - Ind re- to the [e Fou by the [ys, and Pr i m e a pa rtY , s ,,,Tate 7 relati ve .ar i a to rah 'xtrenie e Para, of t llll It W 3, 15 beY °ll ' regi° po liee the dthe r wor e ' odwe" Cr 3 13- %ffra rici 11$119'rc the re. i I ioY 3- alf-Pl5 L ara sOl i, i, verl" 'rove° verl e been r iceoi ; nt ve d .very' ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

Mogni Gregorio, the Italian, charged on his own confes sion of having stabbed Michael Harrington on the 26th of December, of which wound he died, was again placed at the bar for final examination. The magistrate on the last occasion said the case was very incomplete, and before he committed the prisoner he should require evidence to show that Harrington had been killed, as up to that time no such evidence had been adduced. The prisoner had confessed to stabbing certain persons, but who those persons were had not been shown. Mr. Inspector Potter accordingly was directed to have some of the witnesses who were examined at the Central Criminal Court in attendance this morning, but the difficulty that was expected to arise was that all those witnesses would speak positively to Polioni as being the man which actually inflicted the wound on Harrington, of which he died. The following witnesses were then examined : Pietro Gugiana--I am a frame maker, and reside at 15, Eyre-street-hill. I was at the Golden Anchor on the evening of the 26th of Dec. last, and saw Gregorio there between 6 and 7 o'clock. Polioni (the man convicted) was not there. I went and fetched him from Bordesson's public house. Mr. D'Eyncourt—That is a quarter of a mile. Mr. Lewis-100 yards. Mr. D'Eyncourt—How long did it take you ? Witness—Two minutes. There had been a disturbance at the Golden Anchor before I went to fetch Polioni. There were a great many parsons took part in the disturb ance. I cannot say how many, but Gregorio was one of them. The row was in the tap-room. I brought Polioni back with me from Bordesson's, but I did not go into the Golden Anchor, but I saw Polioni enter the house. It took me about five minutes to go from and return to the Golden Anchor. We did not run back, we walked very quietly. Before I brought Polioni to the Golden Anchor I made a statement to him. Mr. D'Eyncourt—That statement you cannot have, Mr. Lewis. Mr. M. Williams—Do you know the prisoner's brother ? Witness—Yes. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Was he irrthe disturbance ? Witness—Yes. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did you know what the disturbance was about ? Witness—No; I was outside the house a groat part of the time. I did not see the landlord struck. I saw Gregorio there in the tap-room. I saw him come in. I don't know by which door he entered. Mrs. King—l am the wife of William King, andreside at 28, Leather-lane. My husband is a button-maker. I was in the bagatelle-room of the Golden Anchor on the even ing of the 26th of December. I saw Michael Harrington there at about half-past six. At that hour I saw him alive and well. After that I saw him wounded, but I was not present when the wound was given. I saw him taken away in a cab. I cannot say how long it was after half-past six that Harrington was alive and well. I was knocked— Mr. D'Eyncourt—Who by ? Witness—Polioni. Gugiana, recalled—Gregorio, at the time he last saw him, only wore a moustache. He had not the beard he now has. Mr. Lewis (to Mrs. King)—Do you know the prisoner at the bar ? Mrs. King—l never saw him in my life before. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Where were you when in the house— where were you standing? Witness—Near the bagatelle room. Mr. D'Eyncourt—And there you were knocked down ? Witness—Yes. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Look at the man at the bar, and then then tell me, on your solemn oath, whether you are pre pared to swear that he is not the man who knocked you down? Witness—Yes. I never saw him i n my l i fe. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Who was it, then, that knocked you down ? Witness—Polioni. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Of that you aro certain ? Witness—Yes. Mr. D'Eyncourt—And you swear solemnly you never saw the prisoner in your life before ? Witness—Yes. A number of Italians were called and proved that on the night of the disturbance at the Golden Anchor the pri soner, Gregorio, only wore a moustache, and not the beard that was now on his face. Mr. D'Eyncourt suggested that, a barber might be sent for and that the prisoner might be shaved. This was accordingly done, and while the prisoner was undergoing the process The lithographer who had furnished a plan of the pre mises of the Golden Anchor was examined, and said that in the event of all the doors not being shut he should think that he might be heard in the bar parlour. If a challenge had been given in a loud tone by those in the bagatelle room to those in the tap-room, in the event of the place being ordinarily quiet, it must have been heard in the bar parlour. The prisoner, on his re-appearance, without the pro fusion of hair that previously was on his face, presented quite a different appearance, and looked some five or six ysars younger. Mrs. King was recalled. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Now, look at the prisoner. Is that the man that knocked you down ? Witness—No. That is not the man. Mr. D'Eyncourt—You are certain ? Witness—Quite. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did you ever hesitate about the per son who did strike you down ? Witness—No, never. Mr. D'Eyncourt—And that is not the man ? Wftness—No. I swear positively he is not the man. Alfred Rebbeck—l am potman at the Golden Anchor. I know the last witness, and I know Polioni. Mr. Lewis—Was he the person who knocked Mrs. King down ? Witnos—l don't know; I'm not sure. Mr. Lewis—But you have said that ho was not. Witness—l don't know ; I'm not sure. ; have I y c a o m u r t not_ sureou already Mr. D'Eyncou r t—Y ou said positively on a former occa sion that he was no t th e person. W Mr. Lewis —Did you sea kilow. Mr.i t n D e sTs —y sworn positively that he was not th e man. Michael Harrington in the bagatelle-room. Witness—Yes, and Polioni on the top of him. I don't know that he was wounded. I was about to lift him off when I lost my senses. Gregorio was not in the bagatelle room at all during the row. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Now, was Marazzi in the bagatelle room ? Witness—No. Mr. D'Eyncourt--Do you undertake to swear that ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Lewis—You know Marazzi. Was he in the baga telle-room ? Witness—No. Mr. Lewis—You solemnly swear that ? Witness—Yes. Mr. D'Eyncourt—You swear he was not there at all ? Witness—Not up to the time. that I was knocked down. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Do you swear that he was not there at all, or, that you did not see him ? Witness—l mean that. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Which do you mean ? Was he not there, or did you not see him ? If it has been sworn that he was in the room by other persons, which do you mean to say—was he not there, or was it possible that he might have been there without your seeing him ? Witness—Well, he was not there, of that I'm positive, By Mr. M. Williams—l was sent out of the bagatelle room to get some sticks, as I was told there was going to be a row. I went to the tap-room, and I found the Italians all raving—holding up their hands. There was no row then. There was, however, swearing and fighting going on. Mr. D'Eyncourt—l must caution you about your speak ing the truth. You seem to be very uncertain, and just now you said that which was not true. You must really remember a man's life is at stake. Don't trifle and hesitate. If you are not certain, say so ; but by all means speak the truth. Witness—l was told before the row commenced to get out of the way, or I should get served out. I afterwards went into the bagatelle-room. Harrington was then sing ing a song. I told those inside that there was going to be a row with the Italians. They said, " Nevermind; if they come in here we will protect ourselves." Some one said to me, " What are we to do if they come In here with their knives ? We have only got our hands." I went out and got some sticks—about five or six. I handed them up through a cupboard. The Italians were all at the top of the stairs. Mr. M. Williams—You have sworn that Gregoria was not in the bagatelle-room when the row began. Now, if you were about for some time getting a quantity of sticks, how can you say he was not there at all during the row ? Witness—l am speaking of the row in the tap-room, not that in the bagatelle-room. When I got upstairs the Italians were trying to get into the bagatelle-room. I saw Mrs. King fall just as I entered. I saw some one draw his hand back. I don't know what became of the sticks. I had a stick in my hand. Mr. D'Eyncourt—When you ran up to the door and saw Mrs. King fall ? Witness—No, not then. 13y1Mr. M. Williams—l went in and saw one on the seat and took it up. After I was stabbed I saw the English strike the Italians. I was stabbed before Harrington. I went up to Polioni, and said we want no row here, and he stabbed me in the side. I then took up the stick. They were fighting then. I hit Polioni on the head, and ho then ran iuio the room. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Why did you not go and tell the landlord, in preference to going for the sticks ? Witness—l didn't think of it. Mr. D'Eyncourt —Did you see a man put his head down and make a rush to get into the bagatelle room ? Witness—Yes, and I hit him on the head before he ven tured. That was Polioni. Mr. D'Eyncourt—You are certain you strncls Polioni in e passage and not in the room ? Witness—Yee.

A DOCK ROBBERY. —George Simmons, a dock labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing two ounces of cigars, the property of the London Dock Com- iany. These little robberies of tea, sugar, indigo, tobacco, and spirits are very frequent in the docks, where many thou sand men are employed, and the vigilance of the constables and gatekeep3rs, and the frequent punishment of the offen ders by fine and imprisonment, and convictions at the ses sinus, has not put down the depredations of the (lock labourers and others who take advantage of the necessary exposure of valuable merchandise to commit petty thefts. On Saturday last, Richard Belshaw, a labourer, was fined 40s. for having two ounces of tea in his possession. He was detected by a constable taking the tea out of a chest in the London Docks. The prisoner Simmons was stopped yesterday by a constable named Hayward with twelve cigars, weighing two ounces, in his cap. He said they were given to him by a man on the North Quay, which turned out to be false, and then he told other false hoods. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to one month's impri sonment with hard labour for the unlawful possession of the cigars. THE WORKHOUSE TEST.--A poor and weakly woman, named Ann Harrington, a native of Ireland, came before Mr. Paget, and said she had been employed at Johnson's lead works, in Limehouse. The unhealthy nature of the occupation materially affected her health, and she had been very ill for some time. On making application to one of the relieving officers of the Stepney Union, he offered her an order to be admitted into the workhouse, which she wished to avoid. Mr. Paget—Why avoid the workhouse ? Tho applicant—My little home will be broken up, and I shall be separated from my child, the only comfort of my life. Mr. Paget said the applicant appeared to be very ill, and he really thoughe_tha,t the workhouse was the best place for her. The applicant—Oh pray don't send me there to bury my days, when lam well, and there's work to do. I'll work again to keep myself and my child. Mr. Paget said he could not interfere with the admini stration of the poor laws. in advised the applicant to see the relieving officer again, and seek for an order to go be fore the board of guardians, who had the power to giv e out-door relief if they thought proper. SUICIDE OF VICTOR TOWNLEY. —The convict Townley, whose reprieve from the sentence of death which had been passed upon him for the deliberate murder of Miss Goodwill, of Manchester, to whom he had been engaged for marriage, excited so great an amount of public attention and discussion at the time, committed suicide on Sunday afternoon in Pentonville Prison. He was returning with the other prisoners from the casual service in the chapel, when he seized an opportunity to dash himself over the railings of the staircase. On being raised he was found to have received concussion of the brain, which caused his death at eight o'clock the same evening. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Now be particular; in the passage in the room ? Witness—ln the passage. Mr. D'Eyncourt—How many Italians were in the baga telle room when you was there ? Witness—Only one. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Do you mean to swear positively that only one Italian entered that room after that ? Witness—Yes. Mr. D'Eyncourt—You take, upon your solemn oath, to say that ? Witness—Yes. Mr. D'Eyncourt—A man's life hangs upon your answer, remember that. Witness—Yes. He was the only one in the room. Mrs. Shaw, the landlady of the Golden Anchor, said—l recollect the occurrence on the 26th of December. I re member the prisoner asking me for his hat. I said " I don't know anything about it." He said, " They were in the bagatelle room," and some one then gave me two. I threw them over the bar. The prisoner and his brother picked them up and went away. I have known Polioni for some years. Before my marriage with Shaw he used to call at my house and assist in the bar. I have not seen him for years since I married my husband. Mr. D'Eyncourt—How many years ? Witness—Four or five. Mr. Lewis—l must ask you this question—Did you not have a child before marriage ? Witness—l don't understand what you mean. Mr. Lewis—Oh, yes, you do. Wituess—l do not. Mr. Lewis—l ask you again, had you not a child pre vious to your marriage with Shaw? Your sister is here. Witness—My sister, perhaps, can answer the question better than I. I don't think it a proper question to put to me. It has nothing to do with the matter before the court. Mr. Lewis—l must repeat my question. Had you not a child before your marriage? "Witness—l decline to answer the question. Mr. Lewis—Have you told your husband since your marriage who was the father of the child ? Witness—No, certainly not. Mr. D'Eyncourt—What-do you intend by this ? Mr. Lewis—l was about to ascertain whether there was any jealous feeling, but the witness says she has not told her husband who the father of the child was—therefore I'm precluded. Mrs. Shaw—l presume, Mr. Lewis, that you wish to put to me a question whether I have had a child by Polioni. Mr. Lewis—lldon't wish to put any :more questions to you,Mrs. Shaw. By Mr. D'Eyncourt—l was in the bar all the time of the disturbance. After my husband's face was slapped there was a row in the tap-room. Harrington was brought out stabbed in about a quarter of an hour after that. I saw Mrs. Bing knocked down. Prisoner's brother had a cut on his neck when he came and asked for his hat. I saw Harrington in the tap-room, and I saw the prisoner hold ing him, and in the act of striking him. Harrington was got away. Polioni went away from the bar before my hus band's face was slapped. I cannot say whether he went into the tap-room or whether he left the house. Rebbeck, recalled—There were a great many people in the passage between the tap-room and the bagatelle-room. I will not swear Gregorio was not' amongst them. He might have been. The surgeon who attended Harrison after he had re ceived the wound which caused his death, examined the knife in the possession of the police, and that one found belonging to Gregorio, and said the larger knife (Gre gorios) was the one most likely to have caused the wound. The smaller knife had the point broken off, and without it had been perfect it could not have made the wound. The point of the blade was not found. Mr. Lewis, having addressed the magistrate for the pro secution, and Mr. M. Williams for the Italian Society, who contended that Mr. Lewis had only made out a case for committal for manslaughter, Mr. D'Eyncourt said he should make no observations on the case, but he should commit the prisoner for trial, and that for wilful murder. He should not make the slightest allusion even to Rebbeck's evidence, but simply commit the prisoner to Newgate for trial. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. London and Blackwall Railway—This day, -~- The fifty-seventh half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the London Tavern this day ; J. N. Daniell, chairman of the cowpauy, presiding. The notice convening the meeting having been read, and the report and accounts which have already been pub lished having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN said, he trusted the report would meet the approbation of the shareholders, as it evinced a slow but steady progress in the affairs of the company, and the directors were gratified to be able to state that they had maintained the advance, considering that they had to contend with other companies. (Hear, hear.) They had endeavoured to improve the passenger and goods traffic, which, if not enormous, was gradually increasing. He hoped the shareholders would perceive that the expen diture had been kept down as much as possible. The Lon don Docks' branch had been opened only recently, it was true, but it was in operation, and considerable advantages might be expected from it in future. (Hear.) Their rents had always been a profitable source of income, but it was not likely that that source of their income would increase. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report and tatement of accounts. F. MACNAGHTEN, Esq., the deputy chairman, seconded he motion, which, after some discussion, was agreed to. Another Death from Destitution. Mr. John Humphreys, coroner for Middlesex, yesterday resumed at the Westminster Arms, Warner-place, Bethnal green, an inquiry respecting the death of Ann Harding, aged 43 years. Mr. Robt. Arnott, one of the relieving officers of Bethnal green, said that he had, in giving the relief in the first in stance, deviated from the rules of the Poor-law Board. On Monday fortnight he gave a double allowance (for that day and the next) and on the Tuesday he advised the guardians to give relief for another month, and they granted it. But the board always insisted upon some one coming before it to represent the applicant. He had seen the deceased on the Monday, and he told her to make it convenient to come. The relief voted by the board was tea, bread, sugar, and ls. 3d. for four weeks. He did not give that relief to the boy on Wednesday morning. He received the doctor's order for " increased nourishment, mutton, wine, and milk.' He did not give that; the boy's evidence as to what ho said was correct. It having been stated that a parish doctor had no power to give a legal "order" for the necessary food, &c., for his patients, The Coroner said that he would hear what explanation the solicitor to the board of guardians had to say upon that point. He did not suppose that any board of guardians would sustain their relieving officer in refusing their medi cal officer's order for food. Mr. Howard, solicitor to the board of guardians, produced the chairman's book showing that Is. 3d. a week and tea and sugar were voted by the guardians for the relief of the deceased on the Tuesday referred to. The relief was is. 3d. in kind and as much in money. No one had come before the board on behalf of the deceased. It ordered the relief at the instance of Mr. Arnott. The standing instructions to the relieving officers with reference to doctors' orders for nourishment were to obey them on presentation. It appeared that Mr. Arnott did not inform the boy that the board had voted the relief in question to his mother. The Coroner said that the real point in consideration was this—that the woman was getting on well when she got nourishment; when it ceased, she got worse and died; did she die, or was her death accelerated, through the want of it? The relieving officer had apparently been well disposed towards the woman, but it was very unfortunate that the doctor's order for nourishment had not been complied with, or even what had been voted by tho board withheld. Mr. Arnott said that he was very sorry the affair should have occurred ; nothing was further from his intention than to treat the poor harshly. But he had seen the woman on Monday, and as she was up and convalescent he thought she could come, according to the regulations, to get the relief. Meanwhile he had got her relief to a greater value than the doctor had originally ordered her. He wanted to see the deceased or some grown person to whom he could have explained the amount of relief in money and kind which he had got for her. Tho jury returned a verdict that deceased died from disease of the lungs from natural causes,and that her death was accelerated by want of warmth, necessaries, and nourishment. MARKETS —This Day.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The resignation of Mr. Edwards, Reading Clerk and Clerk of Private Committees of the House of Lords, was received and accepted. AUGMENTATION OF SMALL BENEFICES. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented returns re lative to the augmentation of Small Benefices Bill. The total sum received by the sale of certain livings in the gift of the Lord Chancellor had amounted to £113,129. The sum received during the last year had been £57,329. The condition of the money market had not been very favourable to the disposal of advowsons, as only 24 out of those offered for sale had been disposed of, but there was constant inquiry for them, and he had no doubt but that the greatest benefit would in the end result from the passing of the act. The Earl of DERBY asked if the noble and learned lord could tell the average number of years purchase generally paid for the living. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the returns were so made out as to show that. CASE OF MR. IRVING. Lord CL EMENTS moved that an address be presented to her Majesty for a copy of the correspondence relative to the case of Mr. Henry Merryn D'Arcy Irvine, a justice of the peace in Ireland, who had been dismissed from the magistracy, and also relative to the police and their insubordination to the authority of the magistrates ; and relative to the disrespect shown by the Under Secre tary of the Lord Lieutenant to the magistracy, by enter ing into correspondence with subordinate officers of police, upon subjects which should have been addressed to the magistrates. The noble lord, in moving for the return, read extracts from a correspondence he had had with cer tain police officers relative to the state of personal safety in Donegal. (LEFT SITTING.)

Mr. MOFFATT moved for a return of the amount re ceived for stamps on foreign bills of exchange under the Act 17 and 18 Vic., c. 83, for the respective years 1860 to 1864 inclusive (in continuation of Parliamentary paper No. 196, of session 1864).—Ordered. IMMIGRANTS AND LIBERATED AFRICANS. Mr. MOFFATT moved an address for return showing the number of immigrants and liberated Africans admitted into each of fhe British West India Colonies, as well as the places from whence they were introduced, from the year 1843 to the end of the year 1856, and in each year since the Ist day of January, 1857, to the end of the year 1864. Similar return for Mauritius; and return of the number of those who have returned from each place in each year to their own countries, and (as far as can be ascertained) the amount of earnings remitted through Go vernment agency in their behalf (in continuation of Par liamentary Paper, No. 201, of Session 1864).—Ordered. NEW WRIT On the motion of Mr. BRAND, a new writ was ordered to issue for the election of a member for the borough of Lancaster, vacant by the decease of Mr. Samuel Gregson. GROUND IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF WES TMINS TER-BRIDGE. Sir J. SHELLEY gave notice that he would ask a ques tion relative to the ground between Bridge-street, West minster, and the Palace Yard. WOODS AND FORESTS. Mr. A. SMITH gave notice that he would move for an enquiry into the constitution of the board of Woods and Forests. THE RAILWAY SYSTEM. Mr. ROEBUCK asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if it was the intention of the Government to institute any and what inquiry into our railway system, with a view to future legislation, should such legislation appear practicable and advantageous ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was aware of the motive which prompted the question of the hon. and learned member, and he would furnish him with as full information as he possibly could. It was the inten tion of the Government to recommend to her Majesty the appointment of a royal commission to inquire into this subject, but simply with reference to the economical ar rangements connected with railways in regard to the con veyance of minerals and other articles, but it was not intended to interfere with the policy of railways, which had as much right to be exempted from interference as any other inte rest. It was in no way proposed to compromise Govern ment or the house in any proceedings proposed by the Go vernment, and he impressed on the attention of the house the difficulty of legislation on this subject. TAXES LEVIED ON BRITISH SKIPPING. Mr. CLAY asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is intended any longer to permit her Majesty's Consul General at St. Petersburg VI supple ment his salary by a tax, known as agency money, levied on British shipping, and received by him as agent for the Russia Company. Mr. LAYARD said that papers laid on the table last evening, and distributed this day amongst members, were quite explanatory on this subject. The gentleman in ques tion could not be deprived of the emoluments alluded to without receiving a remuneration, but it was intended by his noble friend at the head of the Foreign-office not to allow the tax in question to be received in future. Mr. CLAY asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he could give any information as to the progress of the inquiry promised by him into the taxes levied on British shipping by, or in the name of, the Russia Com pany. Mr. M. GIBSON said that from inquiries made at St. Petersburg, and a report from the British Ambassador, there on the subject of dues, it appeared that the mer chants at St. Petersburg were in favour of the present system, and that, consequently, interference would be in jurious on the part of the Government. There was no preferential duty imposed on British shipping, which wore placed in the same position as the shipping of an y other country. MEDICAL OFFICERS IN POOR-LAW UNIONS.

BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—Homoeopathic practitioners, anscl being thn medical profession generally, recommend cocoa a the most healthf u l o f a ll b ever ages. When the doc trine of homoeopathy was first introduced into this country, there were to la,l obt fined no preparations of cocoa either at tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied to the crude state, or so unskilfully manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Ep es, of London, Homoeopathic Chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn his attention to this subject, and at length succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first 1 to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by the perfect ti iturat:on it rezeives in the process it passes thro gh, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli cious aroma. Dr. llassa 1, in his wo.k, "Food and its Adulteratio s," says -"Cocoa contaiLs a great variety of Im portant nutritive principles—every ingredient nem ss the growth nod sustenance of the toffy." or nutritive,te aDirections—Tw o coc o a stas very much teaspoonfulsh o er t t t t i f ,m i e tf i g lia, e a on, i t dr n: _odes Secured e r orl co di u ff b e a e breakfast cup, filled up with bolting wateror k. in tin-lined Alb., lb., and Ilb. labelled pa all grocers, i.onfectio ncrs, and chemists [ADvT.] I
