NO.NEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for accommodation in the general discount market has continued moderately active, and at the Bank of England the inquiries have been numerous, the rates current for first-class bills being fully 2+ per cent. At the Bank of England yesterday there were no gold operations of importance. There is no change in the silver market. The return from the Bank of .England for the week ending the 26th June gives the following re suits when compared with the previous week : Rest £3,123,026 Increase ... £2,936 Pulelic deposits 11,105,413 ...

Pries of Consols ••• 941 ••• 87 The return of the Bank of France for the week ending Thursday, June 27 inst., shows the follow ingalterations when compared with former accounts. The cash has increased £556,000, Treasury balance £280,000, and the current account £466,640. The notes have decreased £460,000, but the advances and bills discounted exhibit no variation. The directors of the New Zealand Loan and Mer cantile Agency Company (Limited) have resolved to pay an ad interim dividend, at 10 per cent. per annum, for the past six months, and the warrants will be issued on the 3d prox. A remittance of £503 7s. 9d. has been received by the mail from Guayaquil on account of the divi dend on the debt of Ecuador. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have received a remittance from the Custom-house of Santa Marta of £3,337 12s. 2d. on account of the New Granada dividend. The importations of the principal articles have been larger as regards coffee, wheat, unrefined sugar, and tea ; but smaller in raw cotton, rice, flour, and wine. The shipping accounts also exhibit a slight increase in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign and coasting trades, for both the entries inwards and the clearances outwards, com pared with the corresponding period of last year. The official returns relating to the Trade and Navigation for the five months ended May 31 have been published, and show that the total de clared value of the exports from the United King dom for that period have been £72,123,393 against £78,227,710 in the, corresponding period of the pre vious year, being a decrease of £6,104,317. The decrease has been most perceptible in beer and ale, cotton yarn, cotton manufactures, haberdashery and millinery, hardware and cutlery, linen manu factures, and woollen and worsted manufactures. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are steady at 30 32, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds have advanced to 24k 25i. The half-yearly meeting of the Bank of New South Wales was held at Sydney on the 30th April. The report showed the divisible profits for the half year ending 31st March to amount to £104,689 2s. id., which was disposed of as follows :—£75,000 for a 15 per cent. dividend, £25,000 as a 5 per cent. bonus, making in all 20 per cent. per annum ; leav ing £4,689 2s. Id. to be carried forward to the new account. It was stated that the business had steadily progressed, a fact indicated by the figures. The half-yearly meeting of the Bank of New Zealand was held at Auckland on the 30th April, when a very favourable report was presented to the shareholders. The total profits for division to the 30th March amounted to £57,064 33. Id., and a dividend of 10 per cent. and a bonus of 7s. per share, equal to 17 per cent. per annum, were de clared. This amounted to £42,500, and £14,56435. Id. was carried to the new profit and loss account. The report was unanimously adopted. The dividend on the shares on the London register is payable on the Ist July. At the meeting held to-day of the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway, the report of the directors fully explained the position of the affairs. The total receipts on capital stock, shares, and debentures amounted to £6,180,982, of which the sum of £532,748 was received in the last half year. The total expenditure (including stores and materials) amounted to £6,526,66 1 18s. 11d., of which £3,789,606 18s. 7d. had been spent in India and £2,737,058 Os. 4d. in England. Further ex penditure in India, to a considerable extent, had been incurred;but has not yet been fully brought to account, as it is waiting the audit of the Bombay Government. Under arrangements recently made in India, it is believed that these arrears of audit will shortly be entirely disposed of. The requisition calling upon the directors of the Mineral Rights' Association to convene an extra ordinary meeting of the shareholders for the pur pose of considering the desirability of voluntarily winding up and distributing the remaining assets has been most numerously signed, and will be lodged this day with the managing director. In the foreign and colonial produce markets, dur ing the last few days, there has been a very limited amount of business transacted. Sugars have in some instances ruled at rather lower rates, and owing to the large quantity of coffee brought for ward at public auction prices have experienced a slight downward tendency. Rice has been inac tive, while in tallow only moderate transactions have been reported at steady rates. With regard to the Corn Markets at Birming ham, Mr. E. W. C. B. Cave states as follows : Weather during the week has been highly favour able, not only to the growing crops, but also for the hay harvest, which is proceeding very rapidly. It is generally supposed that the corn harvest will be from seven to ten days behind the average, caused by the unfavourable weather which so long prevailed. The arrivals of foreign wheat continue moderately liberal, the demand being quite in retail, and buyers acting with the most extreme caution ; consequently the bulk of the imports has gone to granaries, and in all probability this dullness may continue until the weather should prove adverse, in which case excite ment and higher prices would be the natural result. At this day's market we had an extremely small show of fine English wheat—the majority of samples being stained and sprouted. Two O'CLOCK.

SMUGGLING TOBACCO.—Henry Sabiel, a German, residing at No. 62, Dean-street, Soho, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned in un shipping a quantity of tobacco upon which the duties had not been paid contrary to the 16th and 17th Viet., cap. 107. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner in two bails of £2OO each. THAMES. MAD DRUNK. F URIOUS ASSAULTS ON THE POLlCE.—William Ryan, a tall Irishman, who has been convicted on several occasions for assaulting police officers, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with violently assault ing five police constables . His wife, Ann R y an, was also charged with assaulting Inspector Graham, of the Thames Police. Yesterday afternoon Inspector Graham was pass. ing along Old Gravel-lane, Ratcliff-highway, and was called into the Old Duke William, a respectable tavern, where the male prisoner was making a dis turbance, and threatening Mr. Dunning, the land • lord. He would not leave when requested, and, after much trouble, was ejected. lie then made use of threatening and abusive language, and said that eight police constables should not take him. He furiously assaulted Cotter, of the Thames Police, No. 13, Harris, Long, and Clarke, of the K divisions, and kicked and dis abled them all. It required the united exertions of twelve men to remove him to the station-house. His wife made an attempt to rescue him, and pulled the inspector's hair. The male prisoner was repre sented to be mad drunk. . ➢lr. Partridge said that a savage and unjustifiable assault had been committed on the police-con stables, and sentenced the male prisoner to three months' imprisonment and hard labour for assaults on three of the constables. He ordered the woman to enter into sureties to keep the peace, and to pay the recognisance fee. LIVERPOOL COTTON ffldliKE2—This Day Market firmer, with less cotton offeriug.

HOUSE OF LORDS—THIS DAY. LONGWORTII (OR YELVERTON) Y. YELVERTON. Present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Cranworth, Lord Westbury, and Lord Colonsay. This morning the hearing of this extraordinary case was resumed. A considerable number of peers were in thsii places during the day. In consequence of other business their lordships did not proceed with the case until past 11 o'clock. The applicant, who was accompanied by two or thre , ladies, came to the bar and carefully arranged her paperr, on the counsel's desk. She was paler than on yesterday, but was perfectly calm and self-i ossessed. She gave a hearty glance at the ladies in the gallery. The Appellant— In accordance with a suggestion o: your lordships I have marked certain passages in th, judgments of the Scottish jnJges, which I will submit t( you instead of reading the whole. One of the judgment: I have read fully. The Lord Chnrcellor—You 'were quite right because, it was in your favour. The Appellant then proceeded to read her solicitor' extracts from the judgment of Lord Curriehill. Comment ing on it ho said, the decision of the House of Lords on a former occasion was not final in the case of Mrs. Forbes, but merely a temporary advantage in her favour. It wa: a decision founded on the glorious uncertainty of the law, fulfilling the words of the poet, that " Nov we are secured by law Till the next brother finds a flaw." Tho decision was net final, inasmuch as did not bar the present appellant from establishing her Irish marriage in the Consistorial Court. It was not final against Mrs. Yel verton, because it did not bar her from applying for a di vorce. Sho was told that the House of Lords was the only place in which Major Yelverton could obtain a divorce, as he was an Irishman, and the Divorce Court had no juris diction there. Nor did the decision of the House of Lerch assoilzo the debt which Mr. Thelwall held against Major Yelverton. It could not avail Major Yelverton, because he was exiled from his country that be could evade that country's law. The full court judgment of one country could not, she apprehended, be set aside by the judgment of another country whose laws it neither knew nor recognised. Hence, if this Irish judgment was binding upon Mr. Yelverton, it was ale binding upon the appel lant, because she had been pronounced by judge and jury to be the wife of Major Yelverton, the Court refusing to take cognisance of what was -done in Scotland. Thal judgment might be brought before their lordships, and upon conclusive evidence might be induced to con firm the unanimous decision of the Irish judges. She would enquire where was the resjudicata of Mrs. Forbes's marriage, which was declared by Lord Curriehill to be a solemn proceeding in facie ecclesias. Shd certainly did not expect such a declara tion from a judge in Scotland,where marriage was regarded simply as a civil, and not as a religious or sacramental contract. At all events there had been OR the part of the appellant an equally solemn marriage in facie ccclesix at Ross Trevor. On the 25th of June the appellant arrived In Leith. She went there to join her husband and was met by him. She was at that time in the affectionate care of her sister, being at the time in feeble health. She went there because ho had told her that unless she came to him he would be a ruined man. The appellant thought she might save him by the sacrifice of some of her property, and at that time her sister was in actual negotiation for the sale of some of her property to help him. She knew that he had been in pecuniary difficulties, and attributed his present wretchedness to that cause, but she had no suspicion of his faithlessness. She had no warning of the stormy cloud which was about to burst over her head, no glimmering of the vortex of misery which was to engulph her in its dark folds for so many years. When he left her he promised to take her to a more suitable home. On that same evening Mrs. Forbes wrote to Dean Ramsay asking him to marry her on the next morning early to Major Yelverton, not in the dean's own church, which was only 30C paces off, with all the solemnities which were usually observed, but in the small fishing hamlet of Newhaven. if that marriage had taken place in England it would be illegal, or at all events would be voidable, because the marriage took place out of her own parish. But both marriages were alike private There were no banns in either case, one marriage being private, and the priest having dispensed with them in the other. There was no ringing of bells, no breakfast, no bridesmaids, no announcements in any of the public papers. She would defy the keenest critic to find out any distinc tion between the two marriages, and yet it was upon that ground, the ground of the selemuity of the mar riage, in facie ecclesias, that the Scotch ju iges re- fused to allow the law to take its course, then were the solemnities of Mrs. Forbos's marriage Notice was given to Dean Ramsay at 11 o'clock at night, and the marriage took place at 10 o'clock next morning. This haste was attributable to the fact that the first wife bad arrived, and that there was a first wife was told to Mrs. Forbes by Major Yelverton during their five weeks . acqu intance before their pretended marriage. This fact , she submitted, exposed the innocence of Mrs. Forbes to very considerable doubt. The law did not allow a man to have two legal wives at one time, and it was on this point atone that she asked their lordships for satisfaction. Sho simply wished to tear down the gigantic lie which it had cost Major Yelverton his fortune end his fame to hold up during the long period of seven years. She pleaded for nothing but to challenge the respondent to a simple ordeal, and was this to be refused because the respondent must be compelled to speak the truth ? She did not wish to deprive the chil d ren of Major Yelverton of any just claim If injury were done to any, the consequences should fall upon the head of the mother, who knew her wrong from the beginning. Of Mrs. Forbes it surely might be said, "Be sure your sin will find you out." All she pleaded for was that Major Yelverton might be asked, "Did you or did you not marry Maria Theresa Longworth ?" and surely English justice would not refuse so simple a de mand. They had it on the highestottuthority that an oath for confirmation is the end of all strife. It would be, she believed, the end of all these harassing proceedings, while by adopting so simple a course, ample justice would be done to all. The appellant then proceeded to read ex tracts from the judgment of Lord Dens. The case was proceeding when we went to press. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde.) STRINGFIELD AND STIIINGFIELD. This was a suit instituted by the wife to obtain a judi cial separation on the ground of her husband's threats an , abusive conduct. Dr. Spink9, Q.C., and Dr. Swabey appeared for tho pet tionor. The respondent did not appear. It appeared that the petitioner in this case was doctor, residing at Bristol, a widower, aged forty eight The petitioner was twenty-nine, and they were married at Chelsea. After going to Paris they went to the Groat Western Hotel, and the petitioner went to visit his sister, and she thought he ought to come and fetch her, but he did not. This appeared the first instance of neglect, but after they arrived at Weston-super-Mare he used to keep out till two, three, four, or five o'clock in the morning, and was always intoxicated. They had three children. The petitioner continued to live with her hus band till 1865. During the years previous to that the usual conduct of the respondent appeared to be to threaten his wife with all sorts of threats, and to use the most in sulting and abusive language possible towards her. Mrs. Stringfield, the petitioner, said that she left the re spondent iu 1865, but went back again because her little boy was ill, when the respondent said, " Well, you have returned like a bad penny." He was then better as to language, but his drunken habits still continued. Ho on one occasion threatened that he would do for her, and she was so frightened that she rushed away and locked herself in her bedroom. die then came to the door of her bedroom and threatened to do for her. She then had the cook to sleep with her, and on the following night he tried to follow her into the room, but after some time he went away. Sho left next morning. Anne Taylor said that in July, 1866, one night she heard a scream in the parlour, and went up with the cook into that room, when she found Mrs. Stringfield in a chair. He was brandish in g a poker over her. Witness took the poker fromhim. On the 15th J u l y h e was drunk an d came the then kit wenticlen inhis night-shirt, and ordered themto his wife's bedroom door and th r eatened to kill her. Witness h a d o ft en t o f e t c h th e children from the public-houses wher e h e h a d t a k en th em . down to The little boy was taken honie twice drunx. The re spondent would go into any public-house in the town. Jane Godyear said she was four months in the ser vice of the respondent as cook, and she could not say that she ever knew him sober. He used to call for brandy in the morning, and if it was not brought to him at once he would swear he would do for th em. At the conclusion of this evidence, his lordship stated that he would grant a decree ?as/ with costs. coma OF BANKRUPTCY. (Befo o Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) This was a meeting for examination and discharge under the bankruptcy of Lieut.-Colonel S. A. Dickson, formerly M.P. for the county of Limerick, now of 25, Wellington square, Chelsea, and previously of Homburg, Prussia. Upon the case being called on, it w as s t a t e d that an ad journment was inevitable, the bank rupt no t h a ving filed his accounts ; and his Honour observed that the usual order adjourning the sitting sine die would be made. Mr. R. Griffiths, for the bankrupt, said that he was about to settle with his creditors, and it was intended to remove the proceedings out of bankruptcy. An adjournment sine the, with protection for a month, was then ordered. IN RE MISS PRAY. The bankrupt in this case was Miss Rosannah Dupin Fray, who describes herself as cf 14, South-street, Gros venor-square, and elsewhere, spinster, dressmaker, and whose name has been frequently before the public in con- nection with various legal proceedings which she has taken against the Earl of Zetland. The order of dieharge was granted. CENTRAL AMERICA. The steamship Guatemala, from San Jose de Guatemala and intermediate ports, arrived at Panama on the 30th ult. The Star and Herald of the Ist inst., from which the subjoined is extracted, reports that the five republics are all at peace : GUATEMALA.—The heavy rains which com menced in the latter part of April in the Nopal listricts in this republic continued through the irst two weeks in May, and have destroyed almost )ne half the cochineal crop. In April the Nopals ► protnised a fine yield, and it was generally estimated he crop would amount to from 8,000 to 10,000 ;,!rons ; but owing to the damage caused by the eau rains, it is now believed the product will ►ot amount to over 5,000 scrolls. The neiglz ►ourhoods of Antigua, An►atitlan, and Villa Nueva ►ave suffered in-)s+. A terrible hailstorm was •xperienced at Antigua which cut up the road so hat carriages could not pass for several days. Not xithstanding the inferior quality of the crop, the trice at the departure of the steamer ranged from $lO5 to $llO per seron. The heavy rains had also extended to the coast, but without any evil result, farther than some little inconvenience to travellers. Die large amount of cargo which has been accumu lating in San Jose on account of the impossibility, for some time past., of embarking it through the heavy surf, has been greatly reduced by the present trip of the Guatemala. The weather being favour able on the arrival of the steamer at that port, she was delayed beyond her usual time, and succeeded in receiving on board some 3,200 packages—a little more than half the amount then ready for shipment. " SALVADOR.—This Republic appears to be pro gressing favourably under its present rulers. The Government is taking an active interest. in the opening of the country, and with that object iu view we find it entering into contracts for con structing new roads, improving old ones, building or repairing bridges, erection of wharves, &c. The want of proper means of conveyance throughout the interior has heretofore been a great drawback to the Central American Republics. Costa Rica, in fact, is the only one of the five which has made worthy progress in this line. "NICARAGUA.—In Nicaragua the cholera seems to have almost, if not entirely, disappeared. The Official Gazette of 11th May proves that all the ex citing rumours started by interested parties a month ago iu regard to the dreadful ravagas of the disease are entirely false." REPORTED LOSS OF THIRTY VESSELS IN THE ICE. The Lords of the Admiralty caused yesterday the following communication •to be forwarded to li Lloyd's in reference to several shipwrecks reported to have occurred in the ice, near Archangel : " Admiralty, 27th June, 1867. " Sir,—l am commanded by my Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you, for the information of the committee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's, that they have received from the Board of Trade a copy of a telegram from St. Petersburgh, dated the 26th, as follows The Verno steamer and four sailing vessels have reached Archangel. The Cident is lost. Tho De Capo has been abandoned. The captai❑ of the Verno reports some 30 vessels lost or abandoned in the ice, and as several crews were drifting on ice floes, he (the captain) suggests that the British Go vernment should send a steamer out from Scotland to their succour, for the owners of the Verno were induced to telegraph out to him to go.' "It must be obvious to the committee at Lloyd's that no steamer sent from a port in England a dis tance of 2,000 miles could possibly reach the White Sea in sufficient time to render any reasonable aid to the ships in distress, and they would suggest to the committee whether the most expdient, and, deed, the only expeditious course would not be to send assistance, by steamers or other vessel, from Archangel, and this should be effected by telegraph. My lords will be glad to receive any further infor mation, but the probable position of the disabl:d ships in the White Sea could only be reached speedily is the manner pointed out.--I am, sir, your obedient ser\•ant, (Signed) " HENRY LENNOX. " Rear-Admiral Halsted, Secretztry, Lloyd's." Since the receipt of the above a further telegram from St. Petersburgh states that among the English vessels foundered in the ice were the following : The Bis, the Effort, The Lot-Wee, The Earl of Fife, The Curlew, The Trident, The Prince of Wales, The Emanuel, The Ennomia, The Rogan, The Conqueror ; the Mantanzas, and The Perseverance. MARKETS.--This day. MARK LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English wheat have been very limited. The attendance of buyers was thin, and trade was very dull—nevertheless, there was no alteration in tha quotations. There was about an ave rage show of foreign, for which the demand ruled inactive on previous terms. Floating cargoes of grain me; a slow inquiry, at late rates. • Barley, both English and foreign, was in very short supply, and the demand was more active, at full values. The malt trade was dull, but without change. Oats were plentiful, and good sound corn moved off steadily, on Monday's currencies. Beans and peas were a slow sale, but we have no change to report in the quotations. In seeds and cakes there was little passing, but late rates were maintained. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

Journal of the Transactions of the Victoria Institute, or Philosophical Society of Great Britain. Hard- wicke. The time has gone by when scientific study was left to a few men of remarkable capacity who with drew themselves altogether from daily life to search into the secrets of nature and spy out the move ments of the celestial bodies. It now forms a part at least of every good education, and he must be either very dull or very illiterate who knows no thing or cares nothing about science in any of its developments. The record of the proceedinr:s of the Victoria Institute arc not, therefore, exclusively addressed to the deep thinker and the profound scholar, but may be read with interest and advan tage by a very wide circle. The papers read before the meetings deal indeed with subjects of the widest range, and show the results of long and :irduous study, but they arc for the most part tolerably free from technicalities, and written with clearness and simplicity. The reading of the papers is, as is usual in such societies, followed by a dis cussion upon their merits, and on the views and principles which they expound, all of which is fairly reported, and affords very interesting and suggestive reading. One remarkable feature of the Victoria Institute, in an age when the supposed antagonism between Scripture and science has excited so much controversy, is that all its members are professedly Christians, and that it takes for its principal object the full and impartial investigation of those ques tions of philosophy and science which bear upon the great truths of Scripture. A good many well-known names are among its members and contributors, and we have no doubt their labours will do good service in the cause of science. The Fortnightly Review. No. VI. New Series. No. XLIII. Old Series. This number opens with an essay on " Miracles and Special Providences," by Professor Tynd.ill, who discusses the subject in a learned and com prehensive spirit. Among many pertinent elucida tions we find interesting details illustrative of dis coveries leading from facts to laws in nature. " The Picture Gatherings of Paris," by Henry O'Neil, occupies a good many pages, and the subject is artistically handled, but we cannot spare space to criticise its merits, nor those of the next paper, " On the Relations between the Crowns of England and Scotland" some centuries ago ; nor yet for " The White Rose," however enticing its pages. " The History of the Reform Question from 1848 to 1866," by Mr. Molesworth, may be referred to with advantage by the next generation ; but we have enough on our hands at present with the interminable de bates of 1867, which will no doubt form a fitting sequel to the past. A paper on " American Prospects" winds up the number with an account of the liberation of Jefferson Davis, and other matters, treated in a more hopeful spirit than the future may realise. Prize Essay on Education. By the Rev. W. N Molesworth, M.A. Longman. Mr. Molesworth, the able and fortunate writer of the essay before us, was also the successful com petitor for another prize offered by the same donor, the subject of the essay being the importance of a close alliance between England and France. Mr. Molesworth must be considered as having fairly won his honours, since the adjudicators of the prize were no lesser authorities than Lord Brougham, Lord Clarendon, and Lord Shaftesbury, in the one case, and Lord Clarendon and two Oxford Professors in the other. The question of how best to educate the people is now engrossing so much attention that it deserves to be studied in all its aspects, and as Mr. Molesworth's essay is directed to the attainment of an improved system of education for the upper and middle classes rather thelower, it treats of a branch of the subject hitherto little discussed. A Peep at the Pyrenees. By the. Pedestrian. IV hittaker. This a lively and readable little volume, compiled from a tourist's note book, and intended chiefly for the benefit of those who think of " taking a consti tutional" up the altitudes of the Pyrenees, which, -in spite of Louis the Fourteenth, seem _to be still tolerably substantial. The author is very straight forward and practical in his account, and his ex perience will no doubt be of service to many an intending tourist who is contemplating the same route. We must not omit to mention that the work is supplied with a map of the West Pyrenees, with the route marked. 77ze Social and Political Dependence of TVontel Longman. The arguments in favour of the political enfran chisement of women are summarised in this essay, though it has regard rather to the grievances of which women have to complain, legally and socially, than to a discussion of her special qualifications for sending representa tives to Parliament. The women on whose behalf the writer pleads so fervently are, however, something very different from the ordinary feminine character. They are men, with men's tastes and capacities and characters bearing another name. Those departments of life in which women pecu liarly shine, for which they are by nature and in clination most clearly and unmistakeably fitted, and which are certainly by no means the least import ant in their influence on the human race, are put aside as unworthy of notice. Philosophers them selves have told us that the impress of the first few years of intelligent life is indelible, and the training of mind and heart, and the care of the physical power during those years, will leave its traces till the grey-haired man or woman sinks into the grave. Yet, while there is much reason to doubt a woman's fitnesss for following the learned profes sions or taking an active part in the Legislature, who shall deny her the right of educating and tend ing the young ? Again, in this world of and victory and defeat, while, tho usands soldiers are fighting in the front of struggle, of brave the must always be a large propo rtion ofbathttolese, there wbo have been disabled in the encounter,thoer, winhaorehhavoef fallen by the wayside " weary with life." Man may claim his superior r ight to push forward the more active service, but he must at once yield his suprema c y to woman in the sick orphanage.

Neither need she confine her attention exclusively to the helpless and suffering. There are thousands of practical means of assisting their less fortunate sisters, of improving the condition of the poor, and cf diffusing useful knowledge, that ladies of our own time and country have found, and their names are a sufficient answer to the complaint that woman in the nineteenth century in England is condemned to a useless and contemptible exist ence. There is no occasion for our women to choose between the alternative of absolute ignorance and ac tive competition with men. They can surely cultivate their minds sufficiently to take an intelligent interest in the affairs of the day, while keeping their personal energies for a more congenial sphere. If their time and their thoughts are not fully occupied at home, they need never wait idle for lack of " worlds to conquer" abroad; but we would remind our eloquent advocates of " woman's rights" that there have been crying evils in our unions, our workshops, our schools, and our streets which w oman ' s influence would have been all-powerful to bring to light earlier, had " she done what she could" for these years past, instead of striving to do what she could not. ----- THE DUKE OF HAMILTON V. ROBINSON.—At the Vice-Chancellors' Court yesterday, Mr. Dickenson (with him Mr. Brockshank) applied ex parte, on behalf of the Duke of Hamilton, for an injunctiou to restrain some ac tions at law on bills of exchang) amounting to £13,400, of which it appeared that £B,OOO had been given in respect of horse-racing transactions. As to £2,000, the duke ad mitted that it was a bona file loan. £4,000 hid been paid into the court of law. . The plaintiff-at•law had gone out of the jurisdiction of the court.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before the Lord Chief Justi e and a Special Jury.) CHATTERTON V. ItEEVES. This was an action brought to recover compensation in damages, brought by Mr. Chatterton, the lessee of Drury lane Theatre, against the eminent tenor. Mr. Sims Reeves, for an alleged breach of his engagement to sing for twelve nights, in the opera of "Rob Roy," as Francis Osbal distone. Mr. Sergeant Ballautine, Mr. Joyce, and Mr. G. Browne appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Matthews for the defendant. The Cuurt and hall were crowded almost to suffoca tion, a very large number of the stars of the theatrical world being present. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said that the plaintiff in this action was Mr. Frederick Balsir Chatterton, the lessee of Drury-lane Theatre, and the defendant was too well known to the public fur him to do anything else than mention his name, Mr. Sims Reeves. It appeared that Mr. Chatterton, being anxious to produce the opera of " Rob Roy," had coin: plated an engagement with Mr. Sims Reeves to sing for 12 nights in the character of Francis Osbsldistone in the opera of " Rob Roy" at Drury lane Theatre for £4O of a nig Mr. hßeeves,t, mak ing a total sum of £ lBO .

Pjnorlyvriemtnoattahkee the p a a N r v t ar o e f like that, and gentlemen like the plaintiff risked their money in order to gain some amount of profit. I n ca se, then, there was a breach of faith on the part of my of the persons so engaged, it must involve a loss ou th e part of the manager, and he was sorry to say that artistes in the position of Mr. Sims Reeves, who perhaps stood alone as a great English singer, and no one could admire him more than ho did, were very often tyran nical in their dealings with managers, and frequently caused them to be losers. Consequently, then, when all the preparations were made, and the announcement had gone forth to the public that Mr. Sims Reeves would appear in the Opera, and when at the last minute he communicated with Mr. Chatterton, announcing that he could not fulfil his engagement, it caused that gentleman not only to lose considerably by the withdrawal of the name of Mr. S.
