TIONEy NARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The discount market presents rather an active PPearance. There is a very large demand for dis count a ccommodation, owing, no doubt, to the considerable number of bills recently held over being now brought out for negociation. The sup -131: of capital, however, is abundant for all re quirements, and the rates for the best bills are firm at Per cent. The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday "Prised an influx of 44,0001. in bar gold, and a 'withdrawal of 15,000 sovereigns for Smyrna. There was no material alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to 506,2001., and the imports to 444,0001. , t a meeti ng o f the National Bank of Austra lia, held at Melbourne on Ist November last, the t lialf- yearly report wa s a d op t e d, s h ow i ng an ava il a bl e balance of 30 ,387/., which was appropriated as fol lowso :—To dividuad at rate of 10 per cent. per tA ali num, 20,000/. • to reserve fund (now increased 45 '°° 0 0 9,0001. to balance carried forward, 1,387/.

Mr. Rostock ; and he t illhly deserves the punishment. This fellow, who is con latently referred to in all discussions relative to the convict system in Western Australia, as having been treated with undue leniency, seems never to have fully appreciated 14 proper position, but has behaved in all respects as if he were a free man of unblemished character, without a Past to deplore or a future to achieve. The case which resulted in his punishment was a very flagrant one. Mr. h%stock had interested himself in the formation of the ° rking Men's A ssoc i a ti on at F reemantle, of which society 4. W as president, an d it was i n connection with its affairs L h , nt the circumstances arose which eventually led to the t 'eeipt by the reverend gentleman of a highly insulting ulessage from R e dp a th , w h o was one of the members. The resident magistrate at Freema n tl e recommen d ed that some n ot-C 3 should be taken of the matter, and his recommenda -111e:2n was b acked by the Comptroller-General, the result u lug that the Governor ordered Redpath's return to the Penal establishment for one year as a hard-labour prisoner.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE. EDINBURGH, Friday Evening, 11 o'Clock. A terrible calamity has this evening occurred in Edinburgh—about 4 o'clock the Theatre Royal took fire, and within two hours was utterly destroyed. From what is known it appears that the gasman in lighting the gas on the stage, previous to the evening performance, by some accident the " borders," viz., the hanging draperies across the stage accidentally took fire. The mate rial being of a highly inflammable nature, in a few minutes the whole of the upper part of the theatre above the stage was in a blaze, and all attempts to extinguish it utterly useless. The fire spread with fearful rapidity ; and in a few moments after the first accident occurred, the flames burst through the roof of the theatre to the great alarm of the whole of the city. The cry of " Fire ! fiire ! " at the top of Leith-walk, had the effect of very speedily bring ing the fire-engines to the blazing building. but by this time all hope of saving any portion of it was at an end, as the edifice was one mass of flame from front to rear. In a few minutes after the outbreak of the fire, the roof fell, and for an instant the glare of the fire deadened, but the next instant the flames rose to an alarming height, causing the utmost terror to the whole of the inhabitants of that part of the city near the theatre. Another cause of fear was created by the immense concourse of people collected at every point at which a view of the terrific conflagration could be had. The police exerted themselves to the utmost to prevent accidents, but unfortunately without success. The embers caught several houses in the district, but they were saved by the exertions of the firemen. About 5 o'clock two men were struck down in the cloister abutting St. Mary's Catholic Churchly the fall of a chimney through the cupola. One was killed on the spot, but the other survived some time ; and while a body of men were, notwithstanding warnings to the contrary, engaged in their endea vour to rescue him, a large portion of the north wall of the theatre fell and overwhelmed seven or eight persons in the ruins, including Mr. George Lorimer, Dean of Guild. The exact loss of life has not yet been ascertained, and workmen are still engaged in the extrication of the bodies. Mr. Windham, the lessee of the theatre, was in London at the time of the news of the outbreak of the fire and the entixe destruction of the theatre, and a message was at once forwarded to him by telegraph. The loss of life is most unfortunate and deeply to be deplored. Mr. Windham's property within the theatre is fully insured, and so are also the trustees of the building. POLICE INTELLIGENCES—This Dap• MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SYSTEMATIC ROBBERIES AT THE APPOLONICON Rooms. — Thomas Leigh Barnard, a respectably-dressed young man, who gave the address 131, Regent-street, and described himself as an assistant photographer, was charged before Mr. Knox, with the following robberies : _ _ Charles Butcher, 137 C, said—Yesterday evening, at half past six o'clock, I went to 101, St. Martin's-lane, the Appo lonicon Rooms, where gymnastics are carried on and volun teers meet. I went into a back room used as a dressing room, where the young men hung up their coats. I con cealed myself behind some boxes, and at a little after eight o'clock the prisoner entered the room. Shortly after several young men came into the room and took off their coats, &c., and hung them up. I then saw the pri soner, when the room was clear, go up to the coats and feel the pockets outside. I then saw him go up to a coat, put his hand into the pocket, and take out a purse. He then took the money out of the purse—two or three half crowns —and put the money into his own pocket and the purse back into the pocket of the coat. The prisoner then left the room for a short time, and went into the large room where the performances.were going on, and about half an hour after returned to the room. He then went up to the coats again, and felt the pockets the same as before. He then put his hand into the pocket of a coat, and took out a purse and took some silver money from it, but a person coming into the room, he put both purse and money into his pocket. The prisoner then put on his hat and coat and left the room. I remained there for some time, and the gentleman managing the rooms coming in I made a communication to him, and, on the young gentleman coming into the room, they missed the money from their pockets. I then left the place where I had been secreted, and found that the prisoner had left the building. I then told the young gentleman who had been robbed to go to Vine-street, and I went to 131, Regent-street, and asked if the prisoner had come in, and was told by the servant that he had not. I then waited a few minutes and saw the prisoner come up. I then 4iollowed him into the house and told him I was a police officer, and that I was going to take him into custody for stealing money from coat pockets at 101, St. Martin's-lane. The prisoner said he knew nothing of the matter, and he had no money ; but on taking him to Vine-street I found four half-crowns in his possession, and he subsequently said he had thrown away the purse. On the way to the court that morning the prisoner said it was a very clear case, and he could not attempt to deny it. He also asked me what he had better do, but I told him I could not advise him. Mr. Knox—He is a member of the rooms ? _ Butcher—Yes, sir. Mr. Henry Wm. Hemsley, of 34, Newman-street, Oxford street, and Mr. Henry Brook, of 55, Gray's-inn-road, proved missing from their pockets money. Mr. Spencer, the manager of the Appolonicon Rooms, said within the past six weeks, during which time the prisoner has been a frequenter of fhb rooms, property to the amount of 601. has been taken away, and in conse quence, for the protection of the members, the officer was employed to detect the thief. Mr. Knox—lt is a serious case. I think the best thing I can do will be to remand the prisoner till Thursday next, and probably by that time the officer—the robberies being of a serious nature—may find out something else. The prisoner was remanded. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. IMPERIAL WEEKLY AVERAGES.—Wheat, 38s 2d ; barley, 278 10d ; oats, 19s 3d ; rye, —s to —s ; beans, —8 —d ; peas, —s —d.

LORD ROBERT MONTAGU'S COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD. A report was brought up from the Main Drainage Com mittee on the evidence given before Lord Robt. Montagu's committee, and on the statements made in the public ves tries relating thereto. This report formed a thick pamphlet, and was a voluminous vindication of the course taken by the board with respect to the main. drainage and Thames Embankment contracts. Considerable discussion took place on the motion for the adoption of the report, and ultimately the subject was adjourned.

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A TOLL COLLECTOR. — WiIIiam Merrymore, a seaman, aged 32, and John Preston, sailor's boarding-house keeper, both of 89, Sutton-street, St. George in the East, were brought before Mr. Partridge, the former charged with violently assaulting William Brinkman, toll collector, on the Commercial-road trust. The complainant, a very respectable and quiet man, said that he was at the Limehouse gate at fifteen minutes past twelve this morning, when a horse and cab drove up and stopped. He asked the prisoners, who were inside the cab, for 3d. toll, on which Merrymore said ho would not pay a - farthing, and made use of abusive language. Preston also said he would pay . no toll, and applied bad epithets to wards him. He reasoned with the prisoners and explained the law to them, and said the fare in a cab must pay the legal toll. The prisoners would not pay, and got out of the cab. Merrymore pushed against him roughly and wanted to fight him. He declined the challenge, on ' which the prisoner made a blow at him. It missed him. but a second blow delivered with great force fell upon his ear, half stunned him, and he felt the effects of it now Merrymore then used very bad language, and was given into custody. The toll was not paid. The cab was driven away. Robert Marks, 349 K, confirmed the statement of Brink man, and said he was taking Merrymore to the station when Preston called out " Don't go," and endeavoured to rescue him. Preston also used threats, got Merrymore down, and was guilty of great violence. Both prisoners were intoxicated. Preston, on being called on for his defence, said—Guilty; sir. Merrymore—Guilty, my lord. Mr. Partridge ascertained from Merrymore that he re ceived 161. yesterday when his ship was paid off, and fined him 31. Preston was fined 40s. The money was paid. NEW SOUTH WALES BUSHRANGERS.—On the 16th of November the Gundagai mail was " stuck up" by, Hall, Gilbert, and Dunn. The mail coach was under the escort of sub-inspector O'Neill and Sergeant Parry, who saw the bushrangers on the top of a hill near Black Springs, between Jugiong and Gundagai. The police approached the bushrangers, who retreated, then suddenly turned round and fired on the police. Shots were exchanged until Parry had discharged his revolvers, when Gilbert called upon him to surrender. Parry said he would die first, and was taking off his rifle to fire When Gilbert shot him dead, the ball en tering his right and passing out of his left side. Sub inspector O'Neill, after firing all his ammunition, struck llall with the empty weapon. A constable who was armed and in the coach, bolted, it is said, in a most cowardly man ner. The bushrangers ha d a number of teamsters and others bailed up, and those who had the opportunity of witnessing The affray say that O'Neill and Parry acted most courage ously, and the bushrangers, who were literally belted with revolvers, fought desperately, and eventually took every valuable enclosure from the mail bags—Sydney Morning Herald. kCRYSTAL PALACE.—ONE SHILLING DAY, Friday. — Admissions on payment, 3,206 ; ditto by season tickets, 1,398.

APPREHENSION OF THE SHREWSBURY " SHAM DE TECTIVE " IN LIVERPOOL—The man who, under the name of John Morgan, executed an ingenious and novel swindling operation at an hotel in Shrewsbury about ten days ago, by representing- himself to be a detective from Carmarthen, and obtaining the assistance of the Shrewsbury police in apprehending, searching, and robbing a Manches ter gentleman named Ashworth, was yesterday appre hended in Liverpool. It appears that his real :name is Thomas Ellis, and that he is the son of a butcher living in Baker-street, Everton (Liverpool). His father was for 20 years a superintendent of police, and ho himself was for some time assistant magistrate's clerk at Holyhead. He was recently employed by Mr. W. Avis, shipwright, Bridgewater-street, Liverpool, and since then has been roaming about the country without any known means of livelihood. It is stated that since his exploit at Shrewsbury and within the past week, he attempted a similar feat at Old Swan, near Liverpool. He went to the cattle market there, and presented what appeared to be a warrant to a cattle dealer, telling the latter he was authorised to appre hend him. Upon this pretence he took him to the police station at the Old Swan, but when he proposed to search him there the local officers refused to allow it. He then said he should have to telegraph to his superior, left the station, and never returned. The cattle dealer was of course set at liberty. Yesterday morning Ellis was brought to the detectives' office, at Liverpool, by his father, at whose house he had presented himself. A notice had previously been issued offering 101. reward for his apprehension. He expressed the utmost contempt for the Shrewsbury green horns, and said he could not for his life understand how they came to believe he was a detective. A telegraphic message was sent to Shrewsbury yesterday, and it was ex pected that an officer from that place would arrive in Liver pool last night, and take him to Shrewsbury for examina tion. The gold watch of which Ellis robbed Mr. Ashworth he afterwards exchanged with Mr. Cohen, jeweller, of Liverpool, for a silver lever and 255. THE DISPUTE IN THE BUILDING TRADE.—Meet ings of operatives in the building trade continue to be held in the provinces to express disapprobation of the " dis charge note," introduced by the masters, and both at Sh - field and Stourport resolutions strongly condemnatory of that document have been adopted—the men pledging them selves to resist to the utmost of their power. THE YELVERTON CASE AGAIN.—The action of libel brought by Miss Longworth against the pro prietors of the Saturday Review came before the Outer House of the Court of Session on Thursday, for debate on the question whether, by the arrestment of certain funds in the hands of publishers in Edinburgh the defenders had been made amenable to the jurisdiction of the Court of Ses sion. The Solicitor-General, for the defenders, proposed that the record should be made up and closed before the question of jurisdiction was discussed ; and the Lord Ordi nary accordingly appointed parties to revise their pleadings. THE CASE OF TIMOTHY DALY.—Yesterday Mr Farnall, the commissioner appointed by the Poor Law Board, resumed his inquiry into the circumstances at tending the death of Timothy Daly. The investigation took place in the board room of the Holborn Union Workhouse. Mr. Shuter, hon. sec. of the Farringdon Dispensary, was examined at great length, and detailed his experience of the case and the action which he took upon it. Mrs. Fitzgerald, the landlady of No. 2, Union court, where Daly died, described the circumstances of the removal of deceased from the workhouse to lodge in he. house. Mrs Daly, who was, the witness believed, a house maid at the Cross Keys, in Wood-street, had removed her husband from the workhouse in conformity with his own wish. She had told witness that the deceased was not to want for anything, and during the nine days Daly was in witness's house Mrs. Daly paid her 30s. for wino and other things which she bought for the sick man. Mr. Lowne, the surgeon, came to see him every day excepting on the Sunday, and Mrs. Daly came every afternoon excepting two. The deceased had eggs, milk, arrowroot, and mutton chops every day, and she gave him as well port wine, half-a-quartern at a time, in a tum bler ; the wine cost Bd. per quartern ; ho had the wine sometimes once and sometimes more frequently every day, and more than half a pint of beer daily. The inquiry was adjourned. ALFRED TENNYSON.—It is now more than thirty years (says the Reader) since the Quarterly Review attempted to extinguish a young poet who had then pub lished the second of two thin volumes. He was treated in the loftiest tone of contempt, and not the slightest token of appreciation was suffered to qualify the ironical praise and total scorn ivhich breathed through the article. Since the year 1833, more than the time allotted to a generation of men has elapsed, and the poet whose first efforts were thus received has lived to enjoy the highest literary distinction which it is in the power of the Sovereign to bestow on a subject—a distinction enhanced in value by its having been borne by his two immediate predecessors in the post of laureate—and to find himself the most popular poet among all classes known in England since the days of Pope. From a small circle of admirers, he has gained for his audience all who speak the language of which he possesses such mastery, and which has been ennobled by his employmen of it. AHOARD.—A New York paper states that a man named Colley, who died recently at Lockport in that State kept his money in an old boiler buried in the cellars, and among the deposits in this vault were found 50,000 three cent pieces. 10111 21 102 11 COVENT GARDEN.

His Lordship, this morning, gave judgment in this case, which involved the validity of a patent for analine dyes. The case was in the first instance argued before Vice- Chancellor Wood, from whose decision an appeal was made to the Court of Chancery. His Lordship went at great length into the details of the question, and finally reversed the order of the Vice-Chancellor, thus deciding against the validity of the patent. _ . Sir P. Kelly, on the part of the plaintiff, was about to make some observations, when His Lordship said it was idle to occupy the time of the Court with arguments to show the infringement of a patent which he (the Lord Chancellor) had just decided did not exist CAMILLE V. DONATO. The attention of his Lordship was again called this morning to the contention between Mr. Morton, of the Canterbury and Oxford Music Halls, and the Royal English Opera, for the services of the celebrated one-legged dancer, Donato. The point decided this morning was merely one of form and practice. The question, in the first instance, arose with respect to the decision of Vice- Chancellor Wood, from whose decision an appeal was made to the Lord Chancellor. His Lordship decided that the English Opera Company (Limited) were necessarily parties to the suit, and that the costs of the application as to that part of the case were to be paid by the plaintiff. Upon the question of appeal, a great deal of evidence was gone into, and it now came before his lordship to decide whether the costs of that evidence were properly the costs of the appeal. The Lord Chancellor decided that they were not costs in the motion, and therefore not to be included in the costs of the appeal. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Lord Ordinary and a Special Jury.) CIIETWYND V. CHETWYND. This morning the Court proceeded with the rebutting testimony on behalf of the petitioner. Evidence was given by the managerof the Queen's Hotel, Birmingham, to show that Mr. Nicholls slept alone in their room No. 29, on the night of the 23d of December last ; but the witness could not identify Mr. Nicholls as the gen- Leman. Other evidence was given by the landlady and servants of the Temperance Hotel, 49 and 50, Paradise-street, Bir mingham, to show that Mrs. Chetwynd slept alone in their. room, No. 5, on the night• of the 23d of December. Mrs. Chetwynd was identified by the witnesses as the lady. She was like a former servant at the hotel, and this was re marked at the time by the witnesses, and an old gentleman, a regular customer, whom one of the witnesses thought she could identify also, only he was dead. Mary Elchorne, examined by Sergeant Ballantine, said —On the 10th of August, 1863, she went into Mrs. Chet wynd's service, and remanded till February, 1864. She was housemaid. She first saw Mr. Nicholls when the Misses Mott was at Longdon Hall. They lunched there with some other persons. Mr. Nicholls called for a stick he had left in the phaeton, but Mr. Chetwynd said he should keep it, and he did not get it. Mrs. Chetwynd was dressing for dinner when Mr. Nicholls called for his stick, and spoke to him for about two minutes in the library. She accompanied Mrs. Chetwynd to Stafford on the night of the ball. Mrs. Chetwynd was to have slept at Col. Hogg's that night, and her luggage was taken there, but she slept at Miss Edward's, and witness slept with her. Mr. Nicholls came home and sat up after they had gone to bed. Mr. Chetwynd got up between eight and nine o'clock, and had breakfast. They had done breakfast before Mr. Nicholls came down. (The witness gave the same account of the "meet," and Mr. Nicholls' portmanteau which was given by previous witnesses.) When Mrs. Chetwynd went to Birmingham she wore a black hat with a pheasant's feather. She had a fall which made it look like a bonnet. She wore a violet dress. Cross-examined by Mr. liennealy—lt was in the begin ning of December that Mr. Nicholls first came to lunch at Longdon Hall. The Stafford ball was on the 18th of De cember. He left about four o'clock. She did not know that Mr. Chetwynd refused to admit Mr. Nicholls to his house. Mr. Nicholls brought Mrs. Chetwynd home from the Stafford ball, and had tea with Mrs. Chetwynd. A bed was not prepared for Mr. Nicholls at Longdon Hall on the night of the ball. Harriet Anne Edwards, of 3, Market-square, Stafford, said she kept a fancy repository, and let apartments. Dur ing the last 20 years gentlemen of the Bar had taken her lodgings during the sessions and assizes ; amongst others, Justice Pigott, Justice Keating, Sir W. Alexander, Mr. Huddlestone, and Mr. Powell. She knew Mrs. Chetwynd before her marriage ; she had only known Mr. Matthews since 1861. He was lodging with her during the summer assizes of 1862. Mr. and Mrs. Chetwynd called upon him. Mrs. Chetwyndasked her to go to New Brighton, but she did not know whether it was at that time. She did not think Mr. Chetwynd was present when Mrs. Chetwynd spoke about New Brighton. She followed Mrs. Chetwynd there in August 1862, and remained there until Mrs. Chetwynd left, and was constantly with her. She knew all the per sons who came to the house. Mr. Matthews called the day after witness arrived there. He•lodged at an hotel on the sands. He paid one or two visits, and witness was in their company. She never knew Mrs. Chetwynd go out alone with Mr. Matthews. Once Mr. Matthews and Mrs. Chet wynd went to a Roman Catholic Church together at Liver pool. Witness was asked to accompany them, but she was unwell. She remembered the Stafford ball in 1863. She had not known Mr. Nicholls before that. He came that night and engaged a bed at her house. Mrs. Chetwynd and her maid arrived at half-past ten. (The witness described the events of the evening as Mary Elchorne did.) Mrs. Chetwynd was not alone with Mr. Nicholls one minute during the time they were in her house. Mr. Matthews and Mrs. Chetwynd had been occa sionally alone together in the sitting-room of her house. It was not true that Mr. Matthews and Mrs. Chetwynd sat up late together, and that Mrs. Chetwynd was let out by the servant. Witness always sat up. She had never seen any impropriety or undue familiarity between Mr. Matthews and Mrs. Chetwynd. Cross-examined by Mr. Kennealy—lt was quite by acci dent that she went to New Brighton on the day when Mr. Chetwynd left. They met Mr. Matthews on the sands. Mrs. Chetwynd had beautifully waving hair, and she had never seen Mr. Matthews put his fingers through her hair when she came from bathing. When Mr. Matthews and Mrs. Chetwynd went to Liverpool to church, she could not swear that Mrs. Chetwynd came back to New Brighton the same evening. She did not recollect letters having passed between Mr. Matthews and Mrs. Chetwynd. She was not aware that Mrs. Chetwynd carried a likeness of Mr. Matthews about with her. She" did not remember Mrs. Chetwynd going out in a brougham with Mr. Matthews. She did not know that Mr. Matthews lent her books. She did not make any inquiries of Mr. Nicholls when he applied for the bed. Mr. Chetwynd had spoken to her about a gentleman coming from Lichfield, and Mr Nicholls said he came from Lichfield. Re-examined by Sir R. Phillimore—lf Mrs. Chetwynd had not come back on the Sunday afternoon, when she went to church with Mr. Matthews, it would have made an impression on her mind. She had no doubt Mrs. Chetwynd did come back in the , afternoon. Mr. Chetwynd used to come to her house frequently, and was on friendly terms with Mr. Matthews. Sir R. Phillimore said he had no other witnesses to examine unless they should be necessary by Mr. Matthews' evidence. Mr. Matthews was absent on a commission, and would return to-day or to-morrow, so that he could be examined on the next sitting of the Court. After some conversation, in the course of which the judge said they were trying four causes at least in one, and there that the was no probability of the ca se closin g in less than two or three days more, the further considera tion of the case was adjourned until Wednesday. [The following evidence, adduced yesterday, appeared in our Late Edition last evening :—] Hannah Dutton, in continuation said—She brushed Mr. Chetwynd's clothes the next morning, and did not see that they were torn. Mrs. Chetwynd never made any complaints of ill-usage against her husband. She had seen Mr. Matthews at Longdon twice. Once he was there two or three days. One of the days was a Sunday. Mr. Chet w-ynd had luncheon and went to church in the afternoon. One night when Mr. Matthews was there Mr. Chetwynd went to bed about nine o'clock, and Mr. Matthews stopped in the drawing-room with Mrs. Chetwynd two hours. While Mr. Chetwynd was at church Mrs. Chetwynd and Mr. Matthews were in the boudoir. Mr. Chetwynd was very fond of his children. Mrs. Chetwynd had never com plained to her of her husband's treatment of her. Mr. Chetwynd was a very sober man. (The witness denied all the allegations made against Mr. Chetwynd on the F.rt of the petitioner.) Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—Witness an eel ineTthh noticedee yn went to a an swered an advertisement, and Mr. Chetwynd wrote to her, t and she was engaged in writing by him. She did not see Mr. Chetwynd until after her engagement. The flouring of the stairs was not in her tithe. She never heard Mr. Chetwynd use coarse words to his wife, nor did she ever see Mrs. Chetwynd violent. Amelia Hardy, examined by Mr. Kennealy, said she the person who kept the books at the Falcon Hotel, 0. Birmingham. She left there last June in consequence coming illness. She remembered a lady there on the night of December 23, st la y gentleman e ed all n ight.

Some time after this the gentleman came about a smelling bottle, but it had not been found. He came again in about a month, and meanwhile it had been found. It was a double bottle with eau de Cologne on one side and a sponge on the other. v Sir E. Phillimore cross-examined the witness at some length in reference to the entries in the book, but nothing material 7 - 843 elicited. An alteration made in the book, and of which much has been is aid, she said sh e ma d e herself on account of a mistake. . She was Perfectly cer tain the lady had a bonnet on when she went to th e Pa . con. (Other w it nes s es , it will be remet nbered, said s h e h ad a hat on.) Re-ex.;mined by Mr. Hawkins—She had . recognised Mrs. Chetwynd amongst a number pf ladies in the passage of the court. She recognised the gentleman (Mr. Nicholls) in the same place. Mr. G. Palmer, the policitor, was put into the box by Mr. Hawkins, and said the book produced was in the same condition as when he first saw it. Cross-examined by Sir R. Phillimore—He did not take up the case because Mr. Collis refused to go on with it. Some letters and documents having been put in, the case for the respondent was closed. Fresh evidence was then called on behalf of Mrs. Chet wynd,r. Htheenry Cornelius petitioner Nicholls, examined by M r . Kars . Mr. lake, said he left Lichfie ld last Ma y . He had been there a portion of two years before. He went there in May, 1862. He was at the college there preparing for ordina tion. While at Lichfield, he lived in lodgings. He met Mr. Chetwynd at a dinner party in Lichfield, and afterwards visited Longdon Hall. He also met Mrs.. Chetwynd at a dinner party in the spring of 1863. He did not know her before. He was invited to Longdon Hall to luncheon by Mrs. Chetwynd. He remembered the Stafford ball on December 17, 1863. He went there from Lichfield. At that time he had been at Longdon Hall three times. He engaged a bed at Miss Edwards's, at Stafford, and dressed for the ball there. Before going to the ball he saw Mrs. Chetwynd at Miss Edwards's. She was dressed for the ball. He went to the ball and danced with Mrs. Chetwynd once. After the ball he went back to Miss Edwards's. Tea was ready, and after tea Miss Edwards and Mrs Chetwynd retired. He stopped up some considerable time and had a cigar. His portmanteau, which had been left at Long don Hall, was forwarded to him at Lichfield. There was a note inside the portmanteau. It was from Mrs. Chetwynd, and he put it in the fire. He never wore a moustache. After wards he went down to the trainand started for Devonshire. It was not true that he ever went to the Falcon to in quire for a smelling bottle. He did not wear a satchel, as described by the witnesses at the Falcon. He remained at Lichfield till May, 1864. The Judge Ordinary said that Palmer had made a remark about Mr. Nicholls's confession. The jury would like to know something about it. Examination continued —There was no truth in the statement that ho had ever had an improper intercourse with Mrs. Chetwynd. He had never made a confession to Mr. Palmer. cross-examinadon, he denied that he had slept with Mrs. Chetwynd at the Falcon on the 23d Dederaber. The further hearing of the case was, at this point, ad journed until to-morrow. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Winslow.) IN RE EITRIPIDI.-THE LAW AS TO RELEASE. The bankrupt was a merchant of France, and to-day he applied for his release from custody. It was stated that he had come to this country in the hope o f arranging his affairs with his creditors. In this he, to some extent, failed, and he was arrested upon a writ of capias. An application was made to a judge at Cham bers for an order of release, but the judge, declined to inter fere. The present application was resisted on the ground that if the bankrupt was released he would in all proba bility leave the country. Upon the question also of bail, the detaining creditor objected strongly, and urged that bail would not be a sufficient security. _ _ His Honour said that he felt bound to decline to interfere until assignees should be chosen. Application refused. LONDON GAZETTE—Last Evening, - FOREIGN-OFFICE, AUG. 31. The Queen has been graciously plea red to appoint Thos..
