On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 10d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold le about 1.10111 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. The coureesot exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about losi per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United 504,05.

WOOD AND STANGER-DAMAGES £5,000. This was a suit for dissolution of marriage, sought by the husband on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent. Both the respondent and co-respondent ap peared, and answered, denying the adultery, and the peti tioner claimed £5,000 damages. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Dr. Spinks, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Tindal Atkinson, and Mr. Weightman appeared for the petitioner; and Dr. Wambey and Mr. Langdon represented respondent ; the Queen's Advocate and Mr. Searle were counsel for the corespondent. The pleadings stated that Mr. Henry Walter Wood was the petitioner, Frances Mary Wood, was the respondent, and George Eato❑ Stanger, the co-respondent. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., in opening the case, stated that the petitioner, Mr. Wood, was an architect and surveyor, residing at Nottingham, and the respondent, whose maiden name was Crofts, was the daughter of a large lace manu facturer at Lenten, in Nottiugham,liire, and the co-re spondent was a surgeon in extensive pract:co and a prin cipal deacon of the Independent chapel. The latter had been a friendof the respondent's all hor life, and had visited at her father's house since she was a child. He was also the medical adviser and trusted friend. The mar riage took place on the 21st of May, 1857, at Sneaton, the petitioner being between 30 and 31 years of age, and the respondent 20, the co-respondent was 50. The marriage was one of affection. Mr. Wood was a hard working man, and was greatly engaged in his business. His usual habit was to visit his office, which was some distance from his house, remain there till he came back to dinner; he then went away again, and usually returned home finally at about nine o'clock. Very soon after her marriage Mrs. Wood became pregnant, and Mr. Stanger attended her in her confinement. Shortly after that a slight cloud, and a very slight cloud it was, overshadowed their happiness ; it was with regard to Mrs. "Wood's expensive habits. In the course of the year after the birth of the child Mr. Wood had supicion that his wife had taken to drinking. Matters went on thus until 1861, when Mrs. Wood became ill, and was attended by Mr. Stanger, and from that time, in doors and out doors, he was constantly with her, used to take her out in his car riage, and be about with her in the most improper manner. In 1863 she went with her husband to London, and instead of returning with him she went to Davenport to spend Some time with Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wood, who were, he believed, actors there. During the time she stayed there a number of affectionate letters were written by her to her husband, and forgiving and generous ones from her husband. Soon after her arrival there the mother of the petitioner was taken ill, and Mr. Arthur Wood was obliged to go to Nottingham to see her. Mrs. Wood accompanied him home, leaving Mr. Arthur Wood behind. She in opening a drawer found a letter, which he (the learned counsel) would read to them. The letter was couched in terms of the deepest affection, the co respondent addressing the respondent as "Dearest," and "My pet," "Dearest Fanny," "Devoted George," and re gretting the pain that her absence caused him, and also expressed an alarm at "the home officers" who resided at Devonport. " This letter," said the learned counsel in continuance, "was perhaps improperly withheld from the petitioner, and also from the knowledge of his wife, and it was not till two years after that the petitioner be came aware of it. Continued quarrels took place between the parties relative to the extravagance of the respon dent, and finally from some rumours which he had heard the petitioner ordered the co-respondent not to come to the house. The co-respondent asked for an explanation, which was met with the answer that it was sufficient that the visits of the guest had become disagree able. Some further correspondence took place, and finally Mrs. Wood left her husband's house, and took a situation as a governess, where she still remains. This suit was then instituted. Mrs. Sqllory stated that the 'coalitioner had always be haved with the greatest affection towards his wife. In witness's opinion, although respondent pretended to be in ill-health, and was very fastidious, she was always in robust health, and of a good constitution, and did not re• quire tho constant attendance of Dr. Stanger. Elizabeth Watson stat ed that she had lived with Mr and Mrs. Wood as servant from January; 1857, till June 1858. During that time Dr. Stanger had been a continual visitor at the house. He used to come when Mr. Wood left, and go up to Mrs. Wood's bed room. Sho showed him up there, but :never entered as well. He would remain two hours. The dinin g-room door would be locked when the doctor was there. On one occasion Mrs. Wood had her hair dressed, and put on a fresh muslin dress when she went to see the doctor, and remained locked up with him is the dining-room, and when she came upstairs again her hair was down, and her dress much rumpled. On the oc- casion of a party at Mr. Wood's, witness, on — lo;1;- ing over the hilustrades, saw Dr. Stranger kissing Mrs. Wood between the drawing-room and dining-room doors. Witness used to visit Mrs. Wood after she left the service, and on one occasion respondent complained that a servant named Lydia - Ponson had been over and asked witness to go to her. Site subiecriently saw the respondent and Lydia Ponson together, when the former went down upon her knees and asked Lydia to forgive her, The latter called;hor a bad name, and slid fele that she had had enough of her goings on, and that no servant of good character could remain in the house, and that she should go to the office and tell Mr. Wood. Mrs. Wood said that she would rather pay Ponson a month's wages than she should say any thing to Mr. Wood. Cross-examined —Witness had not tried to get Mrs. Wood and Dr. Stranger to be security for her husband. The case was not concluded when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGESCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BREAKING INTO A WIREHOUSL—Hoary Harper, about 17 years of age, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned with others not in custody in breaking and entering a warehouse, No. 17, King-street, Regent street, and stealing a quantity of card board, the property of Mr. Charles Thomas, marine store dealer, 12, Cross street, St. James's. It appears that lately Mr. Thomas, whose warehouse is some doors from Lis place of business, has been seriously robbed, about £33 of property having been taken from his warehouse, which was broken open. Yesterday a young man in his employ, named William Young, saw the pri soner and another lad going along King -street from the direction of Mr. Thomas's warehouse, the prisoner carry ing a bundle. The prisoner and his companion, as soon as they caught sight of Young, ran off, but they were pur sued, and the prisoner caught and handed over to the po lice, end the bundle he was carrying was found to contain card boxes taken from Mr. Thomas's warehouse. The prisoner was remanded. A WIFE BEATER.—John Tobin, a brutal looking fellow, living at 16, Princes-row, Newport-market, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting his wife. The wife, who had evidently been subjected to groat ill usage, said that last night her husband knocked her down and then jumped on her; he had only worked nine months in three years ; and had frequently ill used her. The complainant stated that she was near her confine ment. Police-constable Thos. Pickels, 217 C, said that on being called to the house 16, Princes-row, Newport-market, he found the complainant smothered with blood, and a large pool of blood on the floor. The complainant charged her husband with assaulting her, and he took him into cus tody, when he said that his wife had first pulled his hair. The prisoner said his wife first assaulted him. The complainant denied doing so. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was a brutal fellow, and he should commit him for four months with hard labour and if he ever came before him again for a similar assault he would send him for six months. THAMES. There were only three night charges thi s morn i ng, and they were disposed of by Mr. Paget in a s many minutes. Bridget McGrath, aged 36, of No. 2, Essex-street, Com mercial-road, was charged with breaking the head of Ellen Buckley with a poker. There was no prosecutrix, and she was discharged.—George Drew, a seaman, was charged with being drunk and disorderly inside the White Swan public-house, Ratcliff-highway ; and Cornelius Haley, labourer, was charged with a similar offence in the Duke of York public-house, High-street, Shadwell. Both were discharged. The population of the district assigned to the court is 35,000, besides the St. Katharine, London, Regent's-canal, East India, and West India Docks, and the river below the Tower. ROBBERY o TOWER-HILL.— Samuel Daniels, a pale faced, half-starved-looking man, was brought up on remand, charged with stealing a silver watch from the person of ➢ir. Peter Dixon Dodd, clerk of No. 86, Uniou-road, Itu t Lerh ithe. A week since the prosecutor was looking at a man sel ling purses on Tower-hill. A crowd was collected round the man. After Mr. Dixon had been looking on for five minutes, a little boy, standing near, raised his watch guard, which was attached to his button-hole, and said "Sir, your watch is gone." The prosecutor followed the boy out of the crowd, who pointed out the prisoner who was seized. The watch was not recovered. Several witnesses saw the prisoner's hand in the prosecutor's caatpocket, in which was a purse, and saw him take his hand out again. The purse was not taken. The prisoner then turned round to two or three men who were standing about the purse-vendor,,and suddenly toss up his head. Directly after this the boy told the prosecu tor his watch was gone. The prisoner was identified by James Anderson, 30 11, as a convicted thief, and he was sentenced as a rogue and vagabond to three mouths' imprisonment and hard labour. WATERING TIIE MILK.—Tho police tribunal of Zug, in Swifarrland, has just condemned a landowner, who had been convicted of putting water in his milk, and had thus caused a loss to the purelaser, a dealer in that com modity, to 18 months' imprisonment, the loss of civic rights, and costs, The Prosecution of Mr. Eyre. TO TUE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN. Sh.,—The attorney of the Jamaica Committee has published his letter to me of the 22d ult., but has forgotten to append my reply. I beg the favour of your allowing me a small space to rectify this omis sion, by publishing in your columns my answer to Mr. Shaen's letter.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., J. ANDERSON ROSE. 11, Salisbury-street, Strand, March 5, 1867. " Ist March, 1867. " Dear Sir,—ln reply to your letter, I beg leave to inform you that Mr. Eyre, adhering to the deci sion of his counsel and friends, declines by any act of his own to countenance or aid the Jamaica Com mittee in their murder prosecutions. "It is too obvious; to need any reiteration on my part, that our casual conversation had no reference to proceedings at Bow-street; which, indeed, I have reason to know .You did not yourself contemplate at the time you spoke to me. The motive you then professed was courtesy to Mr. Eyre. The reason you now give for wishing Mr. Eyre to leave his home and come to London to be prosecuted for murder is, that by his doing so the Jamaica Com mittee would avoid great expense .and inconve nience.' These considerations are not likely to have any weight with Mr. Eyre or his advisers.—l am, &c. " To Wm. Shaen, Esq." • Renewed Apprehension of a Fenian Rising. CORK, Tuesday Evening. There has been a sudden renewal of the police and military precautions this evening. Large de tachments of military haie taken up positions in several parts of the city, and the constabulary force has been concentrated. Both cavalry and artillery are in readiness.

Since the Ist of February the Emperor has several times visited the Exhibition, and has expressed his satisfaction at the details of the enterprise. His Majesty has been able to assure himself that all will be completely ready by the day fixed for the opening ceremony. The Hon. Isaac Newton, Commissioner of Agri culture of the United States, has issued a circular with a copy of a joint resolution in Congress, in structing him to collect and prepare, as far as prac ticable, scientific specimens of the cereal products of the several States of the Union for exhibition at the Paris Exposition. In this circular the Corn miasioner states "It is desirable that small packages of the finest samples of the best varieties of such products of your neighbourhood should be forwarded by mail, in packages of two pounds or less, each distinctly marked with name of donor, local name, and county and State in which it was grown. "Such packages, addressed to the Commissioner of Agriculture, can be sent without postage from any post-office in the United States. As it will be seen, the resolution makes no appropriation for this purpose. Parcels should not be sent by express in any case, unless at the expense of communities represented." During the Exhibition there will be additional services held in the English churches, Rue &Agues ' seau and the Avenue Marbceuf, by clergymen specially sent from England.

THE ST. STEPHENS—Iast week (No. 3) threatened to become "too much of a good thing"—this week (No. 4), however, it evidences a very great improvement in more ways than one. First of all, it appears, now, in a more compact form —in a form, that is, brought within much more reasonable dimensions. And the arrangement of the matter is batter. Superfluous materials, for one as the extracts fr om th e publ c press, necessarily ephemeral thing, are entirely this weekgot rid of —such, for example, in themselves. There are in No. 4, indeed, only two divi sions—namely, •the summary of the week's events, and the full report of the Parliamentary proceedings. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, Lord Suffield, Lord Royston, Lieut.-Colonel Keppel and suite, honoured the performances at the Adolph! Theatre last evening. The Prince of Wales, attended by Lieutenant-- Colonel Koppel, hunted with her Majesly's buckhounds, near Stoke, yesterday. The Princess of Wales is going on very favourably towards recovery.

SUPPLEMENTARY ARMY ESTlMATES.—Yesterday a supplementary army estimate Was published to cover the charges for granting an increase of pay to the non commissioned officers and men of the army and militia, and for the more efficient recruiting of the army. The total is £500,000, of which £416,750 is for army purposes and the remainder for militia. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Unerring Precision.—When the health is breaking down from the continuance of same weakening discharge, when ulcers refuse to heal and extending mischief is threatened, then is the time to try the potency of Holloway's healing Ointment and purifying Pills. No treatment for giving ease and safely leading to a cure can. be compared to this. The Ointment cleans and cools tho foulest and most angry sores,-diminishes the inflammation, reduces the swelling, prevents the growth of proud flesh and spares both pain and danger. Hundreds testify from their own personal experience to the unvarying success attending the use of Holloway's medicaments in cases of ulcerated sores, en larged YQUA scurfy Skin, and §wellod ankles. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING--TUESDAY. The Liverpool Grand National week is one of the most interesting to the generality of the public in the racing calendor, and with the amalgamation this year of the Grand Military with the Spring Meeting at Aintree, additional interest was attached to it, and a fourth day added to the programme. Although there was a "meeting" at the Albion on Mon - lay night, very little speculation took place upor the great race of Wednesday, aid the only feature of the evening was the scratching of Columbia, which took place at 4.55 the same afternoon. A good many of the specula tors had not arrived, having delayed the journey until to day, but those who were present had no opprtun:ty of plying their vocation, and scarcely a but was laid. This morning was fine, but at Aintree there was a cold biting wind, which datracted somewhat from the pleasure of the day's sport. The various events do not call for any par ticular remark beyond the following details : The Annual Hurdle Handicap of 5 soya each, 2 ft (to the fund), with 50 added ; winner of any race after Fob. 2 (at eleven a.m.) 101 b extra; two miles, over six hurdlei 42 subs. • Mr. Barber's Helen, by Commotion—Miss Harkaway, 6 yrs, lOst Bib (inc. 101 b extra) (Thorp,) Mr. Carew's Fortun a t us , 4 y rs , lO st 816 (A Sadler LordQuventry's Tennyson (h b), 5 yrs, 9st 21b(G.Stevens Lord Poulett's Charlemagne, aged, lost 61b(Mr.Edwards Mr. A.

Rounding the back stretch Charlemagne increased his lead, no change taking place in the respective positions of the remainder, ezcept that Yarrow joined Messmate in the rear. Passing the White House Charlemagne still led, followed by Gazza Ladra, next to whom, side by side, were Fortunatus and Tennyson, Helen being slightly in their rear, while at a wide interval came Pearl Diver, who appeared to take his hurdles badly. The others were beaten off. As they were coming to the straight Charlemagne was headed by Fortunatus, Helen, and Tennyson, the three Blearing the hurdles almost abreast, and although Helen swerved a good deal she won easily by a couple of lengths ; a similar distance separated second and third ; Charlemagne was placed a bad fourth; Pearl Diver fifth; Gazza Ladra sixth ; Yarrow and Messmate together next ; and pulling up behind them were Balham and Maid of Perth.

ALLEGED MURDER OF A WIFE.—At the Clerken well Police Court, yesterday, Henry George Snel ling, aged 57, who described himself as a printer, residing at 13, Verulmam-street, Gray's-inn-road, was charged with being drunk and causing the death of his wife, by beating her on the head with stones, and thereby fracturing her skull. The principal evidence affecting the case was that of Charles Francis Hawkins, nine years old, son of the prisoner's landlord. /le said—On Saturday, a little before my mother came home, I saw Mrs. Snelling coming down stairs, and she fell to the bottom. She did not scream or say a word. She was drunk. I went up and told the pri soner, who was on the second-floor stairs. He came down, picked her up by Iho shoulders, and knocked her head on the'stones. Ho did it wilfully ;he was drunk. lam quite certain that I saw him strike her head three or four times on the stone. I saw tho prisoner's wife iu the yard about three o'clock, and she was then sober. My reason for say ing she was drunk was because I had heard that she had been at the Goat public house drinking gin. The prisoner denied that his wife was drunk, or that she was oven the worse for liquor. It was also shown that the boy's mother and a lodger carried the poor woman upstairs. Police constable 182 G deposed that about half-past nine on Sa turday night he was sent for to the prisoner's lodging. When he got there he went up to the second floor front room, and saw the prisoner sitting on the side of the bed, and his wife lying upon it apparently dead. Witness sent for a dootor, who came, and after examining the woman said she had been dead some time. The prisoner was drunk. Mr. Cooke remanded the prisoner for a week, and directed that the medical man should be in attendance at the next examination. Mr. Forceythe Wilson, who was among the most promising of the young American poets who have recently made ,their appearance—of wh9sc pocmi " The Old Sergeant" was probably the most popular—died at Alfred centre, New York, on the 2d inst.

Mr. MONSELL said alarming information had been received within the last few minutes that an outrage by Fenians had taken place in Ireland. He wished to know if the Secretary for Ireland could state whether this was the fact or not ? Lord NAAS said the only information the Government had received was contained in the fol lowing telegram, which he would read to the house : " Wires cut early in the night between Dublin and Cork, and between Dublin and Limerick ; later in the nightjbetween Dublin and Limerick; up mails late. Engine despatched fram Thurles to discover the cause. Found lines blocked up, with sleepers and rails torn up. One mail south of Thurles. All communication with Cork, Limerick, and Dublin, therefore denied to us. We are ignorant as yet of what has taken place there. Risings around Dublin from Drog heda to Dundrum generally, but not so extensive as the Fenian expected. In the dark. Impos sible to estimate numbers. Estimates vary from 1,000 to 4,000. No serious outrage on person or property. At Drogheda barracks attacked. As- Isarlants driven off. Some shots, and some per sons taken. Police stations at Crurnlin and Kilmainham attacked without success. City emptied of its troublesome class. Army perfectly tranquil. Troops skilfully disposed. One or two men taken with Greek fire, as well as arms and ammunition. Many now returning in twos and threes." The following telegram had also been received at the Admiralty from Commander Williams, Coast guard officer, at Youghal " Fenians attacked police station at Castle Martyr, twelve miles from here at 2.30, this morn ing. One man—an American—said to be shot. Several troops gone to assist. Telegraph wires cut between this and Cork." He was certain that such dispositions of the mili tary had been made as would prove protective to the utmost throughout the country. The authorities had not been unmindful, andpreparations had been made to meet any emergency. (Hear, hear.) TESTS ABOLITION (OXFORD) BILL. Mr. COLERIDGE moved the second reading of this bill the object of which was to abolish the religious tests now imposed,upon all candidates for scholar and fellowships in Oxford University. Sir IV. HEATIICOTE said he should not oppose the motion for the second reading of the bill, but he should reserve his right of objecting to certain portions of the measure in committee. The bill was then read a second time. The other orders of the day having been disposed of the house adjourned. MARKETS.-- this day. MARK-LANE. The quantity of home-grown wheat received fresh up to our market to• day was very moderate, but in tolerably goad condition. Millers wen. not disposed to extend the operations; nevertheless factors were very firm in their demands, and held out for fully late rates. Consequently, although the transactions were on a limited scale, the value of all descriptions was well supported. Business in foreign wheat, of which a fair supply was on the stands, was of a retail character, at Monday's quota tions. On the whole the floating cargo trade was steady, and full prices were realised. For all descriptions of barley the trade was quiet, at the late reduction in value. There was a good supply on offer, chiefly foreign produce. Malt moved off slowly, at about late quotations. Oats were in good supply and sluggish request, on for mer terms. "Very little business was doing in either beans or peas, at about stationary prices. The sale for both English and foreign flour was heavy, at unaltered currencies. With the exception of cloverseed and tares, which met a steady sale, the seed trade was dull, at about late rates. Cakes were difficult to sell, at the recant decline.
