LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Right ion. Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.) wool) T. 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 tl:o adultery, and the peti tioner claimed 1'5,000 damages. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Dr. Spinks, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Tindal Atkinson, and Mr. Weightmau 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 Eaton 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 Lenton, in Nottinghamshire, and the co-ro spondent was a surgeon in extensive practice and a prin cipal deacon of the Independent chapel. The latter had been a friend of the respondent's all her 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 ono 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 wif o bad 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 bo 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 Devonport 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 ho (the learned counsel) would road 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 arittlarm at "the home officers" wbo 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. Sellory stated that the petitioner 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 the constant attendance of Dr. Stanger. Elizabeth Watson stat ed that she had lived with Mr. and Mrs. Wood as servant from January; 1857, till Juno 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. She showed him up there, but :never entered as well. He would remain two hours. The dining-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 in 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 look ing over the balustrades, saw Dr. Stranger kissing Mrs. Wood; hetween the drawing-room and dining-room doors. Witness used to visit Mrs. Wood after she left-the service, and on ono occasion respondent complained that a servant named Lydia Ponson hid been over and asked witness to go to her. She subsequently saw the respondent and Lydia Ponson together, when the former went down upon her knees and asked Lydia to forgive her. The latter called her a bad name, and s tid she 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 toll Mr. Wood. Mrs. Wood said that she would rather pay Ponson a month'i 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 INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BREAKING INTO A W.AREHOUSE.—Homy 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 appsars that lately Mr. Thomas, whose warehouse is some doors from his place of business, has been seriously robbed, about £3O of property having boon 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. Tho 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, p.nd 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 great ill usage, said that last night her husband knocked her down and then jumped on hor; he had only worked nine months in three years ; and had frequently ill used her. The complainant stated that she was near her confine 'meat. 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 ho took him into cus tody, when he said that his wife had first pulled his hair. The prisoner said his wifo first assaulted him. The complainant denied doing so. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was a brutal fellow, and he should commit him for four mouths with hard labour and if ho ever came before him again for a sithilar assault ho would send him for six months. • T HAMES. There were only three night charges this morning, and they were disposed of by Mr. Paget in as many minutes. Bridget .I‘PGrath, aged 36, of No. 2, Essex-street, Com mercial-road, was charged with breaking the head of Ellen Buckley with a poker. Thero was no prosecutrix, and she was discharged.—George Drew, a seaman, was charged with being drunk and disorderly inside the Whito 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, Regont's-canal, East India, and West India Docks, and the river below the Tower. ROBBERY ON Town-Thu.—Samuel Daniels, a pale faced, half-starved-looking man,was brought up on remand, charged with stealing a silver watch from the person of Mr. Peter Dixon Dodd, clerk of No. 86, Union-road, Rotherhithe. A week since the prosecutor was looking et a man soi ling purses on Tower-hill. A crowd was collected round the man. After Mr. Dixon had been looking on for fire minutes, a little boy, standing near, raised his watch guard, which was attached to his button-hole, and said "Sir, your watch is gone." Tho prosecutor followed tho 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 coatpocket, 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 months' imprisonment and hard labour.

The quantity of home-grown wheat received fresh up to our market to- day was very moderate, but in tolerably good condition. Millers were 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 eithor 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 mot a steady sale, the seed trade was dull, at about late rates. Cakes were difficult to sell, at the recent decline. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at BO days' sight is about 104 per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

S;r,—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 any, 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 pt;lice and military precautions this evening. Large de tachments of military have taken up positions in several parts of the city, and the constabulary foree has been concentrated. Both cavalry and artillery are iu readiness. The authorities have received information of a simultaneous Fenian rising in the south of Ireland. The telegraph wires to Valentia are cut and com munication suspended. PARIS EXHIBITION. 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 Lim 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 Com missioner 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 d'Agues seau and the Avenue Marbceuf, by clergymen specially sent from England. The following have consented to take part in the services :—The Right Rev. Bishop Smith, D.D. ; Rev. Canon Boyd, M.A.; Rev. Prebendary Burgess, 8.D.; Rev. Canon Champneys, M.A. ; Rev. J. C. Miller, D.D. ; Rev. Daniel Moore, M.A. ; Rev. W. Cadman, M.A. ; Rev. J. W. Reeve, M.A. ; Rev. W. R. Fremantle, M.A., &c. The Holy Communion will be admi nistered every Sunday.

TIIE ST. STEPHENS —litSt 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 better. Superfluous materials, for one thing, are entirely this week got rid of—such, for example, as the extracts from the public press, necessarily ephemeral 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 Keppol 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. PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.—The following papers were issued- yesterday morning Copy of Correspon dence between the'Poor-law Board and the Guardians of the Strand, the Rotherhithe, and the Paddington Unions, concerning the Inquiries held by Mr. Cane and Mr. Far nail." The Poor-law Board recommend many improve ments to be adopted in each of the above workhouses, and point out to the guardians deficiencies at present existing. Copies of an Order issued by the Poor-law Board for the Appointment of a Vestry Clerk for the parish of St. Mary, Battersea; of Memorial adopted at a Public Meeting of Ratepayers relating to the Appointment; and of the An swer to the same, and of Correspondence on the subject." " Copy of a Letter, dated 14th February, with its Enclo sure, from the Town Clerk of the City of London, to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, relative to the Bunhill-fields Burial Ground." "Copy of a Letter, dated 22d February, 1867, from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England to the Town Clerk of London relative to Bunhill-fields Burial Ground." SUICIDE OF A FRENCH MARQUIS. —Some work men going to their occupation at an early hour a few morn ings back found the corpse of a man near the gates of the park Monceaux, near Paris. A bullet had passed through the head, and near the body was a broken cane and a re volver. A little further on an empty purse was picked up. Tho corpse has been recognised as that of the Marquis do G—, 45 years of age, who lived in the Roo Chaptal. He had left his home the previous evening to visit a friend, upon whom, however, he had not called. No rea son can be conjectured for his committing suicide, but there can be no doubt that he committed the fatal act himself.— Galignani. SUPPLEMENTARY ARMY ESTIMATES. —Yesterday a supplementary army estimate was published to cover the charges for granting an increase of pay to the non commissioned officers and mon 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 some 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 the foulest and most angry sores, diminishes the inflammation, reduces the 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 veins, scurfy skirl, and NiTellOtl 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 Jay night, very little speculation took placa upon the groat race of Wednesday, and 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 opportunity of plying their vocation, and scarcely a bet was laid. This morning was fine, but at Aintree there was a cold biting wind, which detracted somewhat from the pleasure of the day's sport. The various event; 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. 20 (at eleven a.m.) ltdb extra ; two miles, over six hurdles. 42 subs.

Maid of Perth cut out the work, followed by Pearl Diver and Tennyson, Balham and Charlemagne lying wide on the right, being next, and in this order they ran to the second hurdles, immediately on landing over which Charlemagne took up the Funning, and led passing the stead, having for his attendants Balham, Tennyson, Fortunatus, and Maid of Perth, Gazza Ladra heading Yarrow, Pearl Diver, and Helen, Messmato bringing up the, roar. Rounding the back stretch Charlemagne increased his load, no change taking place in the respective positions of the remainder, except that Yarrow joined Messmato in the rear. Passing the White House Charlemagne still led, followed by Gazza Ladre, 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 wore beaten off. As they were coming to the straight Charlemagne was headed by Fortunatus, Helen, and Tennyson, the three elearing 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 Messmato together next ; and pulling up behind them were Balham and Maid of Perth. The Aintree Plate of 50 sovs: winners of any handicap after Feb. 26 (at 11 a.m.) 71b extra ; five furlongs. Capt.

After go'ng about 150 yards, Carlos drew slightly in advance, Maude Neville being in difficulties be fore half the distance had been traversed. It was ap parent, however, from the commencement of the en closure that the race was a match between the three placed, Substance, patiently ridden by Payne, being brOtight out in the last twenty strides, add winning cleverly by a neck; Catton defeated Sedella half a length for second place ; Ashtead was a length off, fourth ; Carlos was fifth, and La Muetto last.

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, Vernlmam-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. He 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 the shoulders, and knocked her head on the:stones. Ho did it wilfully ;be was drunk. lam quite certain that I saw him strike her head three or four times on the stone. I saw the prisoner's wife in the yard about three o'clock, and she was then sober. My reason fur 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 even the worse for liquor. It was also shown thatthe boy's mother and a lodger carried the poor woman upstairs. Police cons:able 182 G deposed that abaut 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 scut for a doctor, 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 d i -ected that the medical man should be in attendance at the next examination. Mr. Forceythe Willson, who was among the most promising of the young American poets who have recently made their appearance—of whose poems " The Old Sergeant" was probably the most popular—died at Alfred Centre, New York, on the 2d inst.
