While other dyes destroy the hair by their pernicious properties, this liquid promotes its growth, nourishing the roots to the latest period of life. Pe sons who have been deceived by preparations which have a horrible st.nch (dangerous to the head), troublesome in their ap lication, and unsatisfactory in their colour, will find Spencer's t:hinese Liquid Hair Dve a distinct article, agreeable in every respect, and that " none bat itself can be its paralci."

VISION OF A VOTER. I laid me down beneath night's sombre pall, And dreamt a dream of London's Civic Hall. 'Tis strange that such a dream should cross my brain, But so it is when poets take Champagne. The dream was this—that I was calmly strolling Inside the Hall, soon after Rothschild's polling, When, all at once, I halted in my walking, On hearing voices, as of persons talking. So turning round to ascertain the noise, The talkatives, I found, were two big boys. One's name was Magog, and the other's Gog; And this is something of their dialogue : "Neighbour," said %;og, " I think this day's election Has furnish'd us with something worth inspection, And, certainly, this great proceeding closes Much to the credit of the Tailors. MOSES. I aid not care for speeches, cheers, or votes, Half what I did for MOSES'S summer Coats. The excitement of the scene will do—but, dang it The suits of MOSES a:together bang it." " Hear, hear ! well done ! that's capital," said Magog, "I quite agree with ev'ry thing you say, Gog. There never were such waistcoat;', coats and breeches, Since I and you have occupied these niches." " MOSES & SON," said he, " make dress most stunningly," ( ‘nd here the little fellow wink'd most cunningly.) " I wonder what their prices are," said Magog, " Their articles have made me rather a-geg.' MOSES & SON would make us look quite slap, What do you say to trying them old chap ?" " I'll go," said Gog. " I want a morning ~ .own, And here's a gentleman will h - !p us down." 0, dear? (thinks I) I'd rather be exens'd, And my compliance was at once refus'd. So down the giants came, with pond'rous leap, And I awoke and found I'd been asleep. LIST OF PRICES. ILIADIt MADE.

THE POTTERS' EMIGRATION SOCIETY.—OH Wed nesday evening last Mr. Evans, founder of the Potters' Emigration Society, delivered a lecture at Carpenters' Hall. The large and commodious room was well filled; and the lecture, developing the principles and objects of the society, was listened to with much interest. From the statements of the lecturer, it would appear that the Potters' Society is now in possession of three large estates in Western America. The first estate, compris ing 1,600 acres, is now peopled; it is named Potters • ville. The second estate, comprising 2,000 acres, and named Emancipation, is in the course of' peopling. It is on the south bank of the Fox River, and is said to com prise a succession of " oak openings," and to be ri c h i n minerals. The third estate, comprising the large quan tity of 12,000 acres, is situate on the north brnk of the Fox River, and runs parallel with Emancipation. Two hundred families are now located on the last purchase, and from the remarks of the lecturer it would appear that the colonists are well satisfied with their change of country. Mr. Evans lectured at Bury on the previous Monday, and at Staleybridge and Ashton-under-Lyne on Thursday and Friday evenings. The society appears to be in a progressive and prosperous state, the receipts fel the last week being 1221. 17s. 9i 1.--/tfanchester Axaminer. FIRE AT BETHNAL-GREEN.—Last evening, about five o'clock, the inhabitants of Ann-street, Bethnal green-road, were greatly alarmed in c.bnsequence of the outbreak of a fire upon the premises in the joint ozcupa tion of Mr. Silverton, a fancy cabinet-maker, and Mr. Taylor, a trimming manufacturer, situate in the above named thoroughfare. The flames originated from some cause at present unknown, and so rapidly did they pro gress. that in the space of a few minutes the whole of Silverion's stock in trade became ignited, and when the fire penet-aced the roof it ascended so fearfully us to endanger the contiguous property. Tne mains of the East London Company having yielded an abundant supply of water, the parish engines and firemen set to work most vigorously. but they were unable to get the mastery over the conflagration until property. rou4hly estimated in value at from 4001. to 500/., had been destroyed. The Bishop of Guiana had an interview yesterday with Earl Grey. Mr. Hodges, M.P., had also an inter view yesterday with the Noble Earl at the Colonial office. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, July 10. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN an ,, a Common Jury.) COOPER V. BLOXAM. Mr. Martin. Q.6:. - ;;;T Mr.Bovill appeared for the Plaintiff; and Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. Ryland for the defendant. Mr Bovux, in the absence of Mr. Martin, stated the case to the jury, and said this action was brought to re c,:w,ofpraia,s,,ninyaucertain penalties which the defendant had incurred under the Stock J.,tibing Act, the 7th George IL, c. 8. The Bth section of the Act imposed a penalty of 5001 yuactuallycp ersonh s tk"p: knowing possessed, w s endg should t a h s n e a d l tl ttahhneeyn enactedoe c r stock woaf that wnoh not if fa h ea in h uy e . k•-r or agent should negotiate a contract for the sale ♦ ally possessed of the same, he should be liable ato pe nalty of 100 L f or eac h offence. one half to go to the Q and the other half t o t h e person who should sue fe ren h ame. The defenda n t was now sued for having actedta: an agent in violation of ;his section of the Act. The de claration contained several counts, setting out several dis tinct transactions to a large amount, which the defendant had negotiated for a person named the Rev. Robert Cooper, the brother of the present plaintiff. The defendant was not a member of the Stock Exchange, but was one of a class of persons who were called " alliga tors." These persons exercised their vocation in the vicinity of the Exchange, and, like alligators, they some times preyed upon their victims; but whether the de fendant was an " alligator" in this sense would be seen by the evidence. The Rev. Robert Cooper was a clerk in holy orders, and formerly held a curacy in Wiltshire, but he had been completely ruined by the course into which the defendant had led him. He had either paid or given security to the defendant to the extent of 4,0001, and had given up his curacy. The friends of the Rev. Mr. Cooper filed a bill in Chancery against the de fendant, the object of which was to make him disgorge some of the money which he had recaved, and to stop the circulation of certain bills, to the amount of 1,0001., which Mr. Cooper had accepted. In the bill in Chan cery the defendant was asked when, and from whom he had purchased certain stuck, to which he had answered that his answer would expose him to penalties under the Stock Jo' bing Act. Ile could not, therefore, complain had tb a b t e b e n o wasinstituted b o und by o o the t friendsthe present o f oCooper,edings, whowcome into the witness-box and state the whole of the facts. hi t The Rev. Robert Cooper was then examined by Mr. MARTIN—He said, in the year 1846 I became acquaiated with the defendant. I was introduced to him by Mr. Youngmichael. The defendant was an agent. Be had the seat of an office at No 6, Spread Eagle-court, near Threadneedle-street. The office belonged to Mr. West, who at'erwards gave it up to Mr. Crook. Soon after I was introduced to the defendant I had transactions with him in buying and selling stock. That began in the year 1847. Claims were made from time to time for diffe rences, which he said I owed him. The result was, I gave several bills of exchange in respect of the alleged differences. (The bills of exchange were here called for by the plaintiff, but not produced by the defendant.) The amount of differences was about 1,5001. I paid the defendant some amount in cash; that was about 4001. In December. 1848, I was in London; I was not at that time possessed of 60,0001. consols. I never had any con sols. I should say the defendant was aware of that. I gave the order by word of mouth, in the office, I believe. I ordered him to sell 60,000/. stuck. He left the office, and was absent about ten minutes. On his return he gave me the contract. This is the document. It is in the defendant's handwriting. (The paper was then put in and read as follows : " Londen, Dec 29, 1848. " Sold for the Rev. Robert C Koper 60,0001 Consols, at 88 1, for the 16th of December. " WILLIAM BLOXAM.") On the 24 of January I gave him an order to sell more stock. The amount then was 20,000/. I had no Con sole- The defendant left the office, and on his return he gave me a contract. This is it :—(The paper was then put in and read, as follows: " London, Jan. 1, 1849. " Sold for the Rev. Robert Cooper 20,000/. Consols, at 88i, for the 16th of J vinery. " W. B.") I had AO Console. It was a mere time bargain. I had to pay the difference on the 16th. On the 23d of Ja nuary I gave the defendant an order to buy; that was in his office, or somewhere about. He save me this paper as the advice note of the buying.—(The bought note for 50.000/. wes here reld.) On the same day I gave him directions to buy 80,000/. Consols. The defendant af terwards gave me a memorandum of the difference. — (The memorandum was here put in and read, stating the witness's loss to be 6901. 155.) N', transfer was made of stock. Cross-examined by Mr. WeTsoN-1 am in the Church still. lam not doing duty. I bought a few railway shares in the autumn of 1845. I bought ten in 1847. I had nothing to do with the funds in 1846. I had to do with railway shares. I never gained anything by railway shares. I was introduced to the defendant by Youngmichael. I received the balance when it was in my favour. I have received money from Bloxam twice, He resided at Bayswater, and had his seat at a broker's. The defendant never told me he did the business through West or Crook. The defendant is not a broker. I wrote to him every day from the country. I never had the prices of the day sent to me. I have written to de fendant o❑ a Sunday; perhaps between churches. No broker's contract was handed in with the document on the 16th of December, nor with the one in January or February. I never saw a broker's contract. Edward Peter Cooper, the plaintiff, is my brother. Ile used to be a manufacturer in Wiltshire. I am not doing any thing now for my livelihood. I am living with my mother in law. John Beaton, clerk in the Bank of England, was then called, and proved that, by the direction of the ac countant, he had searched the bo ks of the Consols from the year 1840 to the present time, and that neither Mr. Cooper nor the defendant had had any during any part of that period. George Webb, the secretary of. the Stock Exchange, was then called, and proved that the defendant was not, and never had been, a member of that establishment. Mr. MARTIN then proposed to put in the bill and answer in the Court of Chancery, but not being fur nished with an examined copy, the evidence was objected to and withdrawn. Mr. WATSON then addressed the jury for the defen dant, and contendedthat there was no sufficient evidence to show that the defendant knew that Mr. Cooper was not possessed of the stock in question. The jury must be satisfied that the defendant knew that fact before he could he made liable to the penalties imposed by the Act. Mr. Cooper himself admitted that he had paid the differ ence when it was in his favour, and now, when his speculations had proved unsuccessful, he sought to make the defendant answerable. Lord DENaLtsf then summed up the evidence to the Jury. His Lordship said that, in his opinion, there was evidence in support of the two counts—the third and the fourth; and there was also evidence that the defendant was an agent within the meaning of the Aet of Par. liatnent. His Lordship remarked, that he had never before tried an action founded on this Act of Parliament, and expected at first that there might be some difficulty about it. It turned out, however, to be a very simple thing. The parties had made a bar gain, and agreed to pay the difference; and the ques tion was, on the third and tourth otunts, whether the defen 'ant had made the contract, as alleged, with the knowledge that Mr. Cooper was not actually possessed of the stock. No doubt it was a very improper proceed ing on the part of Mr. Cooper, who was a clergyman, and anything but creditable to him ; but the simple question now was, did the defendant know that Mr. Cooper was not possessed of the stock ? In the case of r-ctiving stolen goods, it was sufficient to convict the re ceiver if at the time of receiving the goods he had the conviction that they bad been stolen, and they turned out to have been so ; and so in this case, if the jury, knowing that:,Mr. Cooper had no stock, shoal& believe that the defendant was aware of that circumstance, he might be convicted in these penalties. There was some evidence that the defendant had knowledge of that fact, for the witness had said, in answer to a question on the subject, "I should say the defendant was aware of that." The sufficiency of that evidence, however, was for the jury,vi ho would judge from all the circumstances whether the defendant must have known that Mr. Cooper was not actually possessed of the stock the sale of which he (the .lefendant) had negotiated. The jury then found a verdict fee the plaintiff, which was a , co.-iiinely entered in his favour, with a penalty of 1001. on the third count, and a penalty to the same amount on too fourth count. This was the last day of the sitting at nisi prius. July 11. The Court sat this morning at Westminster, for the pu , pose of delivering judgment in several cases which stood over for consideration. JUDGMENT AT FAULT. Lord DENMAN, at the sitting of the court, said that their Lordships had fallen into a mistake in naming this day tor the delivery of judgments, the Act of Parlia ment not giving any authority to the Court to pronounce judgment unless on those days iu the vacation on which Nisi Prius Sittings were held. The intention of the Court, when it named this day for the delivery of judg ments was, that they should take effect if pronounced is last term; but that effect would not, it now appeared, attach to tnem as a matter of law; and, except by con sent of the parties, they could not take effect as judg ments before next term. The Court would, however, ,ow deliver them, leaving the consideration of the mat ter open to parties for agreement as to whether they should be considered as judgments of last term. THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF GLOUCESTER. In this case an application had been made to the defendants, ruaeistrdtes of Gloucester, to make an arder of maintenance on the putative father of an ille gitimate child. The application bad been once heard. arid dismissed, on the ground of the absence of cor roborative evidence. Subsequently, another summ-ns had been taken out for a re-hearing, but was dis nussed by the justices on the ground that the cause had .stready been disposed of. A rule for a mandamus was then obtained, calling on the defendants to show cause why they refused to hear the application, he party being prepared to offer additional evidence. That, iu tact, was the question raised for the opinion of the Court. It had been contended that no second hear log, in ca,_es of this descrip , ion, could be permitted; but the Court was of opinion that the 7th and B.h Victoria. c. 101, gave the mother of a bastard child a remedy similar to that which existed under the previous law in avour of parishes against a person charged as the puta ive father of an illegitimate child. Looking at the ,tatute, the reasonable construction of it seemed to the Court to be that there should be a second hearing, even though the case bad been disposed of at the first hear. tng, upon the merits, it being open to the magistrates to treat the new evidence with great caution. The k3ourt, then, was of opinion that the magistrates were not warranted in refusing to hear the case, and the rule for a imindarnus must therefore be made absolute. HALKETT V. THE DIRECTORS OF THE MERCHANT TRADING AND SHIPPING ASSOCIATION. This was an action to recover damages on an in surance effected on a vessel in the company of which the defendants are directors, and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiffs. Judgment was entered on that verdict for a sum of 1,0741. 16s. Bi. Exe cution was subsequently issued against the company, of whose body Earl Talbot was a member; and on that execution failing of being satisfied, a rule was ob tained calling on Earl Talbot to show cause why execu tion should not issue against his property, in order to make good the sum claimed by the plaintiff. The ground on which the rule was obtained was, that Earl Talbot was a large shareholder in the company, to the extent of 1,000 shares, at 501 each, which he took when Lord In gestre, and on which he paid a sum of 175/. On the execution against the company's goods having failed, the plaintiff issued a fiat, and the company was declared bankrupt, plaintiff being appointed assignee. The debts of the company amounted to 60,000/, of which 54,8001. had been proved. To meet those debts, there were only assets to the amount of 8,0001. The directors kept out of the way, and the plaintiff therefore applied fur leave to issue execution against Earl Talbot. The Court having heard the arguments of counsel in the case, took time to consider. Lord DENMAN now went over the facts of the case, and pronounced that the plaintiff was precluded, by the form of his policy, from having recourse against the pro perty of the individuals of the company to satisfy his claim. The judgment of the Court, therefore, was, that the rule must be discharged, with costs. BEAIIME, BROTHERS, v. RICKETTS. The rule in this case was dtscharg. d. JENKINS V. HUTCHINSON. Lord DENMAN delivered judgment i❑ this case. The question at issue was, whether the defendant could he sued, who had signed a charter-party note under sale, as agent. without having authority to bind his prin cipal. The Court was of opinion that the party who exe cuted an instrument in the name of another, he only acting es agent for the other, could not be sued on the instrument, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, July 10. (Sittings at Nibi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice WILDE and a Special Jury.) BARRY v. BILL.. This was an action brought by the plaintiff. s ship owner and broker, carrying on business in Nicholas lane, in the City, against the defendant, a merchant at Liverpool, and surviving partner of the firm of Smith and Hill, of Liverpool, to recover a sum of 5,5971., for certain information and services supplied and rendered to the defendant. Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, and Mr. Montagu Smith were counsel for the plaintiff, and Sir Fredelick Thesiger, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Channell, and Mr. Cowling for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff was a gentleman particu larly cognizant of the effect of the different tariffs and rates of duties upon articles imported into this country, and having noticed that the duty charged upon paddy, or rough rice, was higher than ought to be taken ac- cording to the different treaties, he communicated his information to the defendant's firm, stipulating for one-third of the profits which should arise from the discovery. They availfd themselves of the information, and ultimately, by the exertions of the plaintiff in their behalf, large profits were realised. The firm then refused to acknowledge the claim of the plaintiff, and this action was brought against the defendant to recover such share, and for compensation for the time and labour bestowed by the plaintiff in securing such profits. It appeared that in the year 1815, by a convention between this country and the United States of America, subsequently followed by others, continuing it for c:ltain periods, and ultimately by a treaty in 1827, continuing it in force until further notice, it was stipu lwted that no higher duties should be levied on the pro duce of the United States imported into England than were levied on the produce or manufactures of other foreign countries. This was confirmed by subsequent statutes, and remained in force at the time of the agree ment between the parties. By a statute passed is ON id and 4th William IV. a duty of 2s. 6d. per bushel was directed to be levied ups n rough rice, but if imported from a British possession the duty was to be only Id. per quarter. By a statute of the 6th and 7th William IV. the lower duty was ont tended to Western Africa ge nerally, whether British pcsisession or not. Mr. Barry, the plaintiff, whose attention had been directed to these matters, discovered that when the last-mentioned statute extended the lower duty to Western Africa generally, the same privilege of th e tr ea ty o f 1815 belonged to the United States, and that a duty of Id. per sparer ought to be paid upon rice ii aported from that country, in stead of 2s. 6d. per bush. tl, which was then paid. There were only four houses in England engaged in this par ticular trade—Messrs. Poster and Smith, and Messrs. Ewbanlts and Co., of Loncion; and Messrs. Simpson and Co., and the defendants„ Messrs. Hill and smith, of Liverpool. The plaintiff det e rmin e d t o t r y wheth e r hi s view of the law was cone tot, and entered into communi cation with Messrs. Fost at and Smith, offering to ac quaint them with a very profitable secret upon certain terms. The negotiation was conducted through a gen tleman named Coleman, and a letter was signed by Messrs. Foster and smith, agreeing to allow the plain tiff one-third of the profilia derivable from the communi cation. A similar agree-atent was afterwards entered into with Messrs. Ewbenlzs and Co. The plaintiff then sent his brother with the letters signed by Messrs. Foster and Smith, and Messrs. Ewbanks and Co. to Messrs. Simpson and Co. and the defendants, of Liverpool, re the qeesting them to agree to the same terms, viz , to allow plaintiffturn out n e- third of ' t ib advantageous. no objection to the terms proposed. I he plaintiff did not at that time communicate the secret, matters not he e Prdoefitetsn'tia if ut the s said sc re they should t, being ripe, but it so happened that the plaintiff , s brother left by accident at, the defeedant'e counting house the letters of agre -recut signed by Messrs. Foster and Smith and Messrs. Etshanks, from which it was inferred that the defendant'. firm were perfect . ly aware of the terms agreed to by shose firms. The plstritiff then proceeded to try the experiment, and accordingly im ported a cargo of rough rice from Charlestown, but the higher duty was charged ley the officers of the Customs. The defendant, likewise, upon the advice of the plaintiff, import. d a c ergo, upon which the higher duty was also charged. The plaintiff tit' •ti m..moriahsed the Commis sioners of Customs, withourt success, and afterwards he inemoriali , ed the Board of Trade, but with no better u...cetiS. In older then :0 obtain the assistance, and in tervention of the Americ di Government, he procured a cargo of paddy to be imported into tt , is country io the name of Junius Smith, an. American citizen, an d aga i n the higher rate was char;; rd by the Cu stom -h ouse ea thoritrs. He then applied to Mr. Stephenson, the American Minister, by whom the question was laid before the Government, and the plaintiff also caused it to be mentioned in the House of Commons; and ulti mately, by means of the most untiring and unceasing exertion, the plaintiff auttei-eded in obtaining the ad mit•sion of rough rice from America upon payment of the lower rate of duty upon the deposit of Exchequer bills for the difference, and which, by the unwearied exertions of the plaintifZ were afterwards given up, and the personal bonds of the plaintiff and the defendant were accepted. All these proceedings were from time to time communicated by the plaintiff to the def-ndant, who invariably acted upon the information received, and a great many letters passed between the parties, from which it woatild appear that the plaintiff was acting as the agent of the defendant in the negotia tion with Government. The plaintiff never ceased in his endeavours with the British Government, and, at the ex piration of six years, aftor the most untiring activity and unremitting exertions, he ultimately succeeded in obtaining a Treasury minute, dated August 6, 1842, whereby the bonds were ordered to be cancelled which had been given to secure the higher duty, and thus the Exchequer-bills for securing the higher duty upon the cargoes already imported by the defendant having been returned, the defendant found himself a gainer to the extent of about 12,0001.; but although Messrs. Foster and Smith, as was stated, had honourably fulfilled the agreement which they had entered into, the defendant refused to acknowledge the services of the plaintiff. A great number of official witnesses were then called, and a mass of documentary evidence was put in, which concluded the plaintiff's case. Sir FREDERICK THESIGER then submitted that there was no case to go to the jury upon the special count, and made several objections, two of which the Learned Judge thought were sustained, viz.:-Ist. That there was a variance between the contract laid in the declara tion and the one proved, the promise laid in the declara tion being that the contract should be new to the de fendant, whereas the promise proved was that it should be new to the tralP, or at least to Messrs. Ewbank and Co. and the defendant. 2dly. That the communication was not a valuable one; on the contrary, it was false and untrue; for, although there was in force a convention between this country and America guaranteeing the im portation of paddy at the low duty, such convention, un confirmed by Act of Parliament, had not the force of law, and the Custom-house authorities would not be warranted in levying only the lower duty. The Learned Judge was then about to leave the question to the jury upon the common counts for work and labour, &c.. when the parties intimated that a compromise might oc effected, which was then agreed to as follows:—It was agreed that inasmuch as there were four actions pending against different houses in the paddy trade for the same cause, a sum of 11,0001 should be accepted as the sum due from them altogether, and in the present action the verdict should be taken for 2,7001. as the de fendant's share, without costs. This was the last day of the sittings. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, July 11. A special meetin4 in ba,ueo for the delivery of judg ments by consent had been appinted for to•day, but at the usual hour fur meeting, a message was received from Mr. Baron Parke that he had been obliged to go down to his circuit, and that some of the other Judges having also to leave town for a similar purpose, it was impos sible to form a court. CONSIS IVRY GuWiT, July 11. (Before Dr. Lushington.) HALL V. HALL. Dr. ADDAMS applied to the Court for a divorce, it being a suit promoted by the wife, Mrs. Georgiana flail, against her husband for adultery. The parties were married on the 11th September, 1848. Mrs. Hall at the period was staying with a friend of her family, a Mr. Pensford. when she met with Mr. Hall, and to whom she was clandestinely married; she afterwards re• turned to her father's house, and they never cohabited together. In February, 1849, they rnet at Boulogne, where they occupied the same chamber as man and wife. Some time after this they separated, and Mr. Hall afterwards cohabited with a female of the name of Batchelor, ftx which Mrs. Hall now sought for a di vorce, which he (Dr. Addams) had no doubt but the Court would grant. The Learned JUDGE said he had no hesitation in granting the divorce as prayed; there appeared no op position to the suit. N v.sA to theuNDEns. This was an applicationskuDEns made Court to pro nounce Mr. Saunders, the party in the suit, in con tempt, for not having paid the alimony awarded to Mrs. Saunders. Mr. Saunders appeared in person. He stated his posi tion at the present moment was very different to what it was when the alimony was granted to his wife. He said he was ready to obey the order of the Court, but he had lost all his West India property, and his family affairs were in Chancery. His wife had ample means of her own, but he was sorry to say the money he had allowed as alimony, and was for the support of his chil dren, was very improperly disposed of. His son had been sent to St. Petersburgh for no other object than the waste of his money and his time ; but whatever the Court lhe ordered LEA nNE h D e j w u e rb atd E obey eeid i ts he direct i on . hadno p power to alter his previous judgment; whatever was due under the head of alimony must be paid; and if Mr. Saunders's circum stances were changed, he must apply to the Court for relief in another form. KING V. KING. This was an application made to the Court for a divorce on the ground of adultery. The suit was pro. tooted by the lion. Mr. Robert King against his wife, Mrs. Ann Gore King, for having committed adultery with the Viscount Sr. John. Drs. Jenner and Bayford were heard in oppositio❑ to the allegations. Dr. Haggard and Dr. Harding in sup port of them. The Learned JUDGE in going over the allegations ad mitted many, but ordered the 28th allegation to be amended. HA.RTLEY V. HARTLEY. Dr. ADDAMS said this was a suit for a divorce, pro moted by the husband against his wife for having com mitted the act of adultery with a Mr. Thompson, an engineer on one of the railways. The act was said to have beau committed at Liverpool, where Mr. Thompson took a house for the purpose of carrying on the illicit intercourse with Mrs. Hartley. There was no opposition to the suit. The Learned JUDGE, in consequence, signed the di vorce. CHESNUT V. CHESNUT. This was a suit promoted by the Rev. Mr. Chesnut, late curate of St. Peter's, Walbrook, and Trinity Church, Newington, against his wife for restitution of conjugal rights. The parties were married on the 4 , h Dec., 1832, Mrs. Chesnut having a fortune of 10,000/. as a marriage portion, and there were five children, the fruits of the marriage. Dr. WADDELOVE, on the part of the wife, stated the lady for whom he appeared bad to complain of a con tinued course of cruelty which had been pursued towards her by hfr husband from so e trly a period as five months after her marriage, and that was continued until the period of her separation from him in March, 1848. Ho was in the habit of associating with low and aban doned characters, frequently striking her, and applying offensive terms to her, and, in conclusion, dissipated the whole of her handsome fortune, leaving her and her children to beggary; she was, therefore, compelled to seek the protection of Coe Court, who, ho was sure, would not refuse to gra nt her the separation from her husband which she now sought. Dr. HOWARD was heard on the part of the reverend gentleman. The Learned JUDGE said he had listened with great attention to the arguments in this very lamentable cue, and be would postpone his decision for the following, reasons :—First, three of the children had been cx roineti of the tender ages of eight, eleven, and thirteen, whose evidence, s hen compared with that of the other witnesses, must be examined with caution by the Court. MoreoNer, in looking over the whole of the proceedings iu this case there were many circumstances which re quirea deliberate consideration, independent of those to which. he bud already rrferred. The parties would not suffer by the postponement of his judgment. On the ptirt .)f Mr. Chesnut, he not paying alimony in conse quence of his being a pauper, could not suffer, neither from the temposary separation from his wife. With re gard to Mrs. Chesnut, she was now under the protec tion of the Court, and he would extend that protection over her ; for these reasons he would postpone his judgment. [PRICE SD.

The wi+eather was ugein delightfully fine, and the an ticipaio a of good sport produced, as on the previous day, a vast tos:sealb!age of spectators, who evidently expe rit.r.ad ieonsiderable gratification.

The race was a very g•g od one. It is said to bo " Chitty's practice " to open with a rattiing rtart, and the winner did so in the pritsent instance so effectually as to succeed in his Ctl use.

Northman then gradually drew the nose of his boat about a couple of yards in advance of Mar ,,h.rn, who, off the committee-barge, gave symptoms of picking him up. Berry, who had been fouled shortly atter the stoat, was unable to repair the disadvantage occasioned 'by his misadventure. As the leading boats neared the Crab -tree, Marsham put on a fine spirt and brought the, nose of his boat up to that of Northman's, but was unakble to mend his advantage, and was finally beaten by th ree lengths.

With a view to encourage emulation amongst persons of all classes, and to hold out au inducement to provincial crews to enter the lists at this regatta, it was determined by the committee that crews should be eligible to enter both in the Champion and this race; the winner of the former of course prohibited; and to compen sate the provincials for any expenses incurred in coming to London, it was further determined that the sums of 151., 101., and Si. should, in addition to the other prizes, he awarded to them, as either first, second, or third, if either occupied those positions at the finish. Notwithstanding the rowing of the previous day there were a number of persons who sppeared to think the Durham crew would give their opponents their work to do; but the general opinioa was in favour of the Clasvrs (nut the same as ruwud with the Cuumbes, but their brothers) and Sheppard's crew, but there was much diversity of opinion upon the subject. The appearance of the men was extremely confident, and the expectations of a good race were not disap pointed. It was a splendid start, and they were oar and oar with one another for the first three minutes, when the Wandsworth crew began to peep out in front, closely waited upon by the Durham, who in the next few strokes had a foot in advance of the Wandsworth party, and in this order they passed the committee-barge, when the winners went to work in gallant style, shot right ahead, and came in first by a lesgth and ahalf in advance, after a struggle of the most gallant and lasting description.

It is at once surprising and gratifying to observe the crowds who flock daily to this noble temple of practical , ‘cience, to enjoy the vast treasures of instruction and .-nterteinment which are presented here, notwithstand ing the innumerable temptations to out-of-door amuse ments scattered at this season in every direction, throughout the sylvan menageries, the public conserva tories, and the histrionic gardens around the metropolis; and it is a matter of great credit to the management of the institution that the ventilation and temperature are so agreeably regulated in the thronged halls, galleries, and theatres of the institution, during the tropical heat which has prevailed fur some days. At no period have the varied lectures been more attractive or instructive, and the successive audiences appear, from month to month, advancing in the intelligence and interest with which they attend to them. This, of course, must in some measure be accounted for by the acknowledged, improvement of the public taste in the appreciation of the most refined sources of pleasure; but still very much is due to the singular excellence of the Polytechnic professors, in the clearness and sim plicity of their discourses, which render the most recondite learnint popular, and the most abstruse science intelligible even to the child. The surpass ing merit of Dr. Beehhoffuer in this respect is sufficiently welt known to our readers, and it is only those who frequently attend his lectures that can do justice to the easy good humour and temperate gaiety with which he enlivens the driest subjects, and the unlaboured eloquence of diction with which he unfolds the riches of science to his charmed auditories. Hie example, and that of his late highly-gifted coadjutor, Dr. Ryan, seem to a great degree to influence the several professors who are from time to time associated in the grand objects of the esta blishment. The principal subject of Dr. Bschhoffuer's present series of lectures is the production of artificial ice, and the experiments with which they are illustrated very much surpass in beauty and interest anything that could be anticipated. The process which the Learned Pro fessor has to explain is the invention of Mr. Masters, of Regent-street, confectioner, who is known to the public as a mechanical inventor of great success Pnd ingenuity, of which his knife-cleaning and sharpening apparatus is a very remarkable and useful example. The freezing invention is likely to exceed eery far indeed most others of the day in its hitherto unthought-of utility, for, as we have heard a philosophic auditor of Professor Bachhc.iff ner's observe, last evening in the lecture-room, " we may soon expect to see Mr. Masters adapt the principle of these apparatus to the reduction of temperature in hos ritals, and in the mansions of tropical climates, so that the British East Indian may enjoy at Calcutta the re freshment of his present sanatorium on the lower Himalayas!" About thirty years ago Professor Leslie produced a freezing apparatus by which he confidently predicted that we should be able to produce ice on a large scale in the hottest climates of the globe. But, al though his apparatus was perfectly successful in fact, yetit was tound more expensive or less convenient than the applic ition et natuiai ice to the ordinary purposes of the confectioner, and the butler, and even of the physician, who seems to have been but little thought of in relation to this subj , -ct, until the benevolent genius of Masters included suffering humanity in his inventive contempla tions. Lcsiie'e apparatus never came into use. Natural, or as it is called technically, " rough " ice, continues to be the great rrtrigeraeor. and not only temperate and southern Europe, but Egypt, India, and even China, re ceive large and expensive supplies from North America, so that the ice trade has been a staple branch of American commerce , which, how ever , i s d est i ne d to re ceive at least a check from this important invention; for it is demonstrated that lour quarts of pure spring water are converted into solid cbrystal ice, whilst, in the same process, and simultaneously, that is, in four minutes, two quarts of dessert ice ready mixed, and flavoured with cherry, lemon, ginger, or what you like, may be produced, at the expense of less than one penny, and kept cold and firm on the table for hours, on the hottest day—in Calcutta or Hong Kong I Masters' apparatus for the purpose is a small rotary churn, worked easily by a child, costing but little, and scarcely larger than a common tea-urn. Besides this, all the varied apparatus of Masters for supplying and applying ice, exhibited by Dr. Bachhoffner, aro of the most elegant forms, and of no more than the ordinary bulk of the decanters, basons, jugs, and other ornaments of the table and sideboard. One very beautiful vessel, about the size of the ordinary funnel affixed for a moment to the neck of a decanter, serves to strain and ice instan taneously the wine poured through it from the bottle. A decanter stand or tray, of elegant fashion and common size, is contrived to keep your wine cool, or cold (if you like) to the end of the feast. Butter, by similar means, is kept firm and sweet ; Vrlter, wine, or lemonade, cool, upon the sideboard all the dog-days through. And, by the bye, the churn is equaliy applicable to the making of butter as of ice, with an equal saving of labour and expense. Ice'creams and water-ices are whipped and beaten up while in the act of freezing—at the rate of a dessert for 300 persons in twenty minutes—at the cost of one person's attendance, and about one halfpenny per quart. Yet far more important, although less profitable to the inventor, is the metallic cap, which Dr. Bachhoffner ex hibited last night, for application to the head, in those desperate and painful cases in which the application of ice is resorted to. Ice is not always at hand. The material of Masters' h . freezing _mix.tutre and is to be had at every chemist's, and every c physician should ba provided vilt e h m ;L a pothecary, aters' refrigeratin g head-piece, which our space precludes us fr om more fully describing. Much greater good than at first sight appears will doubtless result from an extended ap plication of these invention?. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT NEWMAREET.—A most dreadful accident occurred here on Tuesday' afternoon to Miss Julia Marson, by which it is feared the life of that most amiable young lady will be sacrificed. Mrs. Marson was superintending the making of some preserves, when Miss Matson entered the kitchen to speak to her mother. She went close to the fire, and having on a muslin dress, it is supposed a gush of air carried it near the bars. In one instant she pas in a sheet of fire. Mr. Marsen ran down fr om his bedroom on hearing the dreadful screams, aril a Mr. Blyth, who had just left the house, and was not more than a hundred yards off, hearing the cries, returned, caught the poor girl in his arms, put her on the ground, and extinguished the remaining flames, but scarcely a vestige was then left of her clothing. Sur gwal assistance was immediately sent for and the lady that adhered to her, put to bed. On removing the ashes it was discovered that the only part on which s y remained on the b )cly it, the remainder was one mass of burne d Id is, that the body is not was where the ataJs h d e f a h r n . ote T et h ed e most extraordinary circumstahce the, surface merely is deeply burnt in any one part, h r ' th hi hl g y re specred trainer of that scorched.
