Mr. Bayfurd observed that this ease was mentioned on Tneaday last for some settled terms as to the custody of Mrs Godrieles children. But a question of perjury has been en tered for trial, and it was to come on for hearing yesterday, but was postponed for a week. We want to see the children, and this question of perjury cannot be answered without the children being communicated with by the m titer, and we want to see them al ne. Lord Penzance objected to that. Mr. Bayford—We have no objection to the commissary of police being present at the interview, or some other respect able person. Lord Penzance—l have no objection to a disTnterested person being selected, but it is desirable that nothing should be discussed of the matters between Mrs. Godrich and her husband. Mrs. Godrich was about to speak, but his Lordship in terfered. Mr. Bayford—There is not the slightest foundation for the charge they have now brought against us. Lord Penzance if you nominate a person in the course of he day, I will have an order drawn up. The ►natter thou stood over. THE COMIC PAPERS. (Prom Punch.) STIRRING EVENT.—Mixing a Plum-pudding.

Yesterday Judge Lawson, in opening the Commis sion for County Armlgh, said he had reason to con gratulate the grand jury on the state of that large and importint county. The number of prisoners was greater than usual ; but this was caused by a riot which took place in the county on the 13th of July last, aris'ng oty, of one of chose manifestations of party spirit the existence Of which was to be so much deplored. The remaining c!larges, with the exception of one threatening letter case, were tci9ing; an 4 he was rejoiced at the peace, order, and security which prevailed in the county. THE CITY O.k' BOSTON STEAMER. Some excitement was created in the London Stock Exchange last evening by the receipt of a tele gram announcing that the steamer City of Boston, from New York, had reached Queenstown. -A sub sequent despatch, however, contradicted this state ment. The arrival of the City of Antwerp seems to have led to the mistake. Fresh insurances have been effected at Lloyd's upon the City of Boston at the reduced rate of sixty guineas premium owing to the reports recently made by the Captains of the Ben Nevis and Leader. Up to yesterday afternoon no word has been heard of the Cunard steamer Samaria, eighteen days out fiomLiverpool to New York, and• seven guineas premium had been paid on her. THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE. - OXFORD, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The attendance on the river side to-clay, through a rumour that an important change was impending, was unusually large, the company being swelled by the Torpids, which took place a short time before the crew came out. 'The stroke-oar was, as our readers are doubtless aware, temporarily taken by Mr. Ben son, the President, on the retirement of Mr. Houblon, of Christchurch, who, it was found, was not strong enough for hip crew, and it was then thought the President would fill the important post on the event ful day. The appearance, however, of Mr. J. D. Darbishire, Balliol, the successful stroke for the past two years, in his old place as stroke-oar this after noon, has set the matter at rest, as, yielding to the wishes of the Oxonians, - we understand, he has con sented once more to represent his university. The accession of this fine oarsman to the boat has restored the confidence of the " dark blue," and speculation, which has lately been at a stand-still, is now rife at 2 to lon Oxford. Mr. 'Tahourdin, we are pleased to an nounce, has returned to his place, which he vacated for two days through temporary indisposition, and the Pre.,ident has gone back to his seat at No. 7. Mr. Risley, who, like most of the old presidents, takes the liveliest interest in the welfare of the Oxford crew, accompanied them on horseback on their going out the first time this afternoon, and Messrs. F. Wil lan (Exeter), and J. C. Tinne (University), were also watching them from the bank of the river. The crew went down a second time just before 5 o'clock, the same order being observed, but with Mr. Willan coaching them from the bank on. horseback. The improvement in the crew with Mr. Darbishire as stroke was iudeed most m:irked, the time being re markably good, considering the short period he has been in the boat. Mr. Darbishire appears to have retained his " old form," and being backed up with seven gool and powerful oarsmen, Os ford would ap pear to have a great chance of adding another to her nine successive victories over Cambridge. The crew 7!.11 leave Oxford for their head quarters, the White Lion, Putney, next Wednesday. we ll _ " DERANGEMENT OF EPITAPHS wonders ind eed , :'— kfr.

The Bench should have fleeced them more heavily if these "lambs" are to be prevented from growing up into " black sheep." GOOD NEWS FOR THE NAVY.—The indefatigable Mr. Baxter, in the late debate on the Navy Estimates, re lated a few of his experiences with regard to the stores we have in hand in the various dockyards. What he tells us is very cheering. First of all we have a ten years' supply of candles. That ought to assist in making the estimates light forsome time. We have enough towelling for seven years. No one after that can say that the Ad miralty RefortiA doesn't wash. And—most cheering of all —there is no chance of our Fleet not being likely to be maintained in a proper state of efficiency. Why, of foot pieces for stockings f or our sa il ors there is a supply for no less than fifty years. After- that who shall say that the Navy is not placed on a proper footing? ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN SHAW.—Captain Shaw, the energetic chief of the London Fire Brigade,. has met with a serious accident at a fire which broke out on Tues day morning, on the premises of Mr. Lloyd, a corn chandler and hay merchant, in Leather-lane. Two of the firemen employed in conveying the hose to the upper part of the building, were injured when at work on the blazing stairs, and Captain Shaw, while employed on the roof of one of the burning buildings, slipped off and fell to the ground, and was seriously injured. H e was t a k en i n a cab to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. A. Cowdt - n DLY ASSAULT PIINISFIED.—At West ininster' William Smith and Stephen T urnau ll, h ave b een charged with being concerned, with two others not in custody, in assaulting Mr. Henry Ayers, a broker. Mr. Ayers said that some difference had arisen respecting the payment of a small sum of money, and on Tuesday night the prisoners and two other men followed him from a public-house towards home. He appealed to the police, and went in the opp os it e di rec ti on, b ut t h e men way l a i d him, knocked him do wn , i n j ure d hi s h an d , an d tore a good coat to pieces. Mr. Arnold said it was a cowardly assault, four men waylaying one lik e thi s , an d b ea ti ng H him. e sentenced the prisoners to a month's hard labour each, and ordered a warrant to be issued for the apprehen sion of the others. EDUCATION IN FRANCE.—L' Opinion Nationale has announced that a committee has been formed at Strasbourg for the furtherance of gratuitous compulsory education of a primary character. The movement is pro gressing favourably, and meetings have been held in various towns. The principle of compulsion seems now to be almost universally admitted ; gratuitous instruction still encounters some objections. The Opinio n thi n k s t h at the complete equality that exists in the classes of these schools, the distinctions awarded to those alone who de serve them, form the best of schools for a society which evidently tends more and more to organise itself according to the celebrated formula, "t o eac h according to his capacity, to each capacity according to its work s ," and in vites all France to unite in this great movement, from which should follow the liberty, truth, and sincerity of universal suffrage.", A tiovEnisron CHARGED 'WITH IaIIIRZZLIZIENT...-• Tzzet Pasha, ex-Governor of Jerusalem, has, we learn from the Levant Times, been sentenced to three years banishment, for embezzling Government money. He has repaid half of his defal ca ti ons, w hi c h amounted to £3,000 His clerk, Alonstaplia, whb was his accomplice, is con demned to the same punishment, and is ordered like his master to refund the sum embezzled.

Mr. J. A. Fronde, Lord Rector of the University 01 St. Andrew's, Scotland, has awarde . d his prize for the best essay on a subject proposed by himself to Mr. W. W. Tulloch, student of St. Mary's college, for a historical composition relating to the Gowrie conspiracy. Mr. Graves, M.P., writes to the Times in order to remove an erroneous impression with regard to his motion for a halfpenny postage for printed matter and news papers. The rate proposed is a halfpenny for two ounces, and a like rate for all newspapers. An Irishman named Michael O'Donovan has attempted to murder his wife at Merthyr. lie attacked her furiously with a large knife, wounding her in the arm, and inflicted two large wounds in the neck, It is supposed that the man is insane. There are some hopes of the woman's recovery. V . WILLIADI ItUSSELL'S STOCK.—In the case of Sir W. Russell shipowner, an application has been made to the Chief Judge of the New Court of Bankruptcy for an order to restrain a sale by the sheriff. The bankrupt hired a large house iu the City, which was used as a warehouse for the storage of wines. A considerable proportion of the wines in stock belonged to the bankrupt ; but the largest quantity belonged to merchants who had left the wines there. The question now raised by Mr. E. Reed was whether the sheriff, being in actual possession, should. proceed to a sale of the iron wine bins—part of the realisable stock of Sir William Russell, and by removing all the wines spoil them—for they Were most of them of good vintages, and would not bear shaking ; or whether the sheriff should not be r es t ra i ned from selling the iron fixtures. Mr. Lewis, on behalf of the execution creditor, agreed that the iron fixtures should be allowed to remain; and upon this consideration his lordship consented that the sale should proceed, the receipts, of course, being paid into court through an ap pointed receiver. GRIMSTON V. TIMMS.—In the Probate case of Grimston V. Timms Lord Pen za n ce h as b een app li e d to by Dr. Spinks, 4.0., on behalf of the plaintiffs, to condemn the executors in the costs. It was contended that the Grimstons had never been cited, though it was well known th e y ex i s t e d. After hearing Dr. Deane on the other side, his lordship made the order, though he said it was impossible to say who would ultimately have to bear the costs. There are suits in Chancery in refe rence to the testator's property, and it is not thought im probable that the validity of his marriage with Mrs. Timms will be contested. THE NEW CAB LAW.—Four Cabmen have been sum moned at the Mansion House by the Blackwall Railway Company for refusing to leave the station yard at Fenchurch-street There is a stand for for forty cabs, whose proprietors pay 4s. a week for the privilege. The defen dants did not do so, contending that the yard was public property, and Sir R. Carden, taking the same view, dismi sse d th e summons. Two other cabmen have appeared before the metropolitan magistrates, one of them was fined at Southwark for loitering, the other was fined 20s. at Bow-street for having plied for hire in an unlicensed vehicle. TILE MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. -At the opening 05 the Middlesex Sessions, the attention of the court was called to the fact that the fixtures for the pre sent year clash six times with those of the Central Criminal Court, which was represented as " a great injury to the bar, the prisoners and to the due administration of justice." Steps were, it was understood, to be taken to avoid such an- arrange ment another time. UNSEASONABLE SALMON. A game-dealer, named Downes, and a fish-dealer named Edwards, have been charged, at .the Berwick Petty Sessions, with having thirty-one unseasonable salmon in their possession. The charge was laid under the 20th section of the Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Act, 1868, by which a penalty of £5 for each fish can be imposed. Fish were packed in a box addressed to Paris and on the back of the a dd ress card was the address of Edwards. The justices decided that the case was not proved against Downes, who merely took the box to the railway. Edwards waa fined £1 for each fish. .

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. An application was made to the Chief Judge for an order to pay to Mrs Eliza Maria Clarke the sum of £l2O interest, being one fifth share of a house in Tottenham-Court-road, bequeathed to her under the will of her father. Tho appli cant vas married in 1843, but no marriage settle ment was executed. In 1845 the husband became insolvent, and deserted his wife. In the year 1850 her father died, and Mrs. Clarke heard nothing of her husband fur nine years, when she heard from him at Paris. He subsequently again deserted her, and was now supposed to be living in Algiers; and for fourteen years she has never Ivard any thing of him. Sha is entirely dependent upon her own exertions. The provincial trustees under the insolvency refused to pay her share - amounting, with interest, to £234 - on the ground that she was a married woman, and that her husband We. insolvent. His lordship made an order for paying the balance to the moth'. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(Tiers DAY). MARLBOROUGH -STREET. A ►SYSTDIATIC UTTERER OF COUNTERFEIT COlN.—Eliza King, a young woman, who gave - a false address, was charged before Mr. Knox wit► uttering and being in 'possession of counterfeit coin. Emily Wilcox, assistant to Mr. Williams, baker, of No. 7, St. James's -street, said that shortly before seven o'clock last night the prisoner came in and asked for a Bath bun, and in payment tendered a shilling. Sho gave the prisoner change, and shortlyaftor a constable came in and asked her what the prisoner had tendered, and on her showing him the shilling he feund it to b.: bad. In answer to Mr. Kuox the witness said she could swear to the coin being the Caine one she received from the prisoner. David Brown, 50 C A said that yesterday evening, while in Bond-street, he was told by a gentleman that the prisoner had been into his shop and tendered a counterfeit shilling. The gentleman gave him the coin, but said he did not care about charging the prisoner. He then foll9wed the prisoner, saw her go into the shop No. 7, St. James's. street, and re ceive some change and leave. He went into the shop, and having ascertained that the coin the prisoner had tendered was counterfeit he went after her and took her into custody, and ft uud in her left hand seven mor e coun t er f e i t shillings. The prisoner gave her address, Friar-street, Blackfriars-road, but it was a false ono. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for a week that the Min , authorities might be communicated with. THAMES. TILE EAST END GIOVANNI. —A respectable-looking woman named Hampton came before Mr. Lushington with her daughter, a girl of 16 years of age, to complain of her daughter's master, who had grosSly assaulted her. The man of whom she complained was a paid official, holding a good situation in one of the parishes of the district, and was about LO years of age. Her daughter had been %silo' t time only in his ;service. On Sunday last ho seized her, indecently assaulted her, and conducted hin►,elf in such a gross manner towards the girl that she hardly likud to r.late the circumstances. On another occasion the girl's master stood at the top of the stairs and exposed himself improperly to the girl. S tie had related what had occurred to the girl's • mistress, who treated the matter lightly. Another girl in the service of the same man, and whom her daughter succeeded, had been treated in a worse manner by the same person, who had given her money and paid her fare to Cornwall, where her friends were living. Mrs. Hampton added that she would not accept any compensation, but would seek for that justice for the outrage offered her daughter, which she knew would not be refused to the poorest individual. _ _ _ Mr. Lushington said it was to be regretted that the girl had not made known the alleged misconluct of her master to the inspector on duty at the station-house, or to her mother on the SindaY when the transaction took place. Delays in cases of this nature were always viewed with some degree of suspicion. Mr. Hampton —I will admit the girl did wrong not to immediately leave the place and come to me. She is young and inexperienced. The girl confirmed the statement of her mother, and Mr. Lushington granted a summons. JACK AND THE LAND SHARES. Ryan, aged 29 years, Thomas White, 28, and Emma Woodford, 21, were charged with stealing two coats, a pair of boots, and a cap, value in all £5, from a sailor named John Jones, in a house of bad repute, No. 2, Angel-court, Shadwell. The sailor :was helplessly intoxicated, and decoyed into that horrible place, Angel-court, and robbed of all the clothes he bad on his person. The attempt was made to sell his things in the neighbourhood, and Smith, a police sergeant, No. 67 IC, hearing of this, began to make inquiries. The property was then taken back to the house whore the robbery was committed and secreted. Smith, however, re covered the whole of the property. Tunes identified his clothes, cap, and boots. Ile said he lost his senses altoge ther, and did not know how he got drunk, how he lost his clothes, or how he got into the den in Angel-court. The prisoners were remanded for a week. The screw steamship Revenge, 73, Capt. Richard Dawkins, from the Isthmus of Panama, which arrived at Plymouth on Sunday, saluted the flag of the Port Admiral on Monday, and, having discharged her powder, was removed from the Sound into Hamoaze, alongside f a o n r d t p h l e ac p edurpos eo fpaying off her crew transferred the north jetty in the dockyard, from the Zealous, 20, flagship in the Pacific. We are informed that her Majesty's ship Repulse arrived at St. Margaret's Hope on Tuesday, to re place the Duncan as guardahip in the Firth of Forth. DisoovEny or r VRITAN LITERATI:MR.—AIt American paper says that recently, in pulling down an old religious edifice at Willecott, Oxfordshire, the work men 4 came on an oratory bidden in the walls, which con tained a small library of the earliest Protestant theo logy of the Reformation era , including some of Knox's writin944l a copy of Miles Ooverde's translati on o f the Bible. BI7RNZD AT SEA.-=-The Times c' India refers to a Marine Court which was assembled in Bombay during the- 'previous year to inquire into the circumstances con nected with the loss of the vessel L'Agonhanna which was burned. The court spoke in the strongest terms of the culpable neglect on the part of owners, and agents of the most ordinary precautions for preventing such disasters to coal-laden ships. During the p re cedin,o - twelvemonths, five ves se l s h a d b een on fire in Bombay hp.rbour. The Ti*Ss does not think that one of these vessels need have been lost had adequate measures been adopted to prevent the catastrophe. If insurance offices were to decline all risks unless fully satisfied that the cargo has been properly ventilated, and means at band for checking undue heat, fewer ships would be burnt and blown up at sea. ENTERTAINMENT ONBOARD TER GREAT EA.EITERN. —On the 11th of February Captain Helpin, of the Great Eastern, invited a considerable oompany to a beeuner ofi board his ship, in order to wledge the enthusiasm Mr. Campbell made an of Bombay.

Fourteen years ago, when the first ocean telegraph of any importance was contemplated, it was little thought that the Great Eastern would ever take part in a work of the kind. Mr. Parkinson, in proposing_ success to the Port of Bombay, made an allusion to the reserve which had been manifested by the people of Bombay. The impulsive peasants of Valentia, the hardy fishermen of Newfoundland, the busy people of Brest had, on previous occasions of a like character, shewn their interest and enforced their wel come by clustering round the spot, and by loud-voiced congratulations as the all-important coil was laid to earth. But Bombay knew better.

Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. Moore, said he could at the present time hold out no hope of the release of Captain Burke and other political prisoners, and the state of Ireland at that precise moment ;ustified the Government in adopt jug that course. • PEACE PRESERVATION (IRELAND). Mr. C. FORTEECUE then rose to move for leave to bring in a bill to render life and property more secure in Ireland. The bill consisted in point of form of enact ments amending the Peace Preservation Act of 1856, and reviving some provisions contained in prior Acts, and especially the Act of 1847, and the Act passed byj Lord Grey in 1833. The right hon. gentleman said he did not propose to place in the hands of the Executive any general power sue. pending personal liberty, neither will it revive those provi sions of the Act of 1833 which related to the trial of offences by court-martial. It provided the means of summary trial and punishment Without jury, applicable to offences created uncle' the bill. The principal provisions were directed against tho possessicn of arms and gunpowder, the control over persons moving about by night, compensation to indivi duals who had been the object of outrage and to their re latives in certain cases, and an increase of the powers at present afforded by law for obtaining evidence. The bill was proposed to subsist for a limited time, and would take effect, in those districts of Ireland, which might be proclaimed for the purposes of the Act by the Lord Lieu tenant. But, over and above those provisions confined in their operation to the proclaimed districts in Ireland, there were provisions relating to offences committed against public order by the press, and intended to give more effective powers to the Government, on their responsibility, for the repression of these offences. The right hon. gentle man proceeded to state the reasons that had led the Govern ment to introduce the bill. (LEFT SITTING•) FRANCE. (Br EEUTER'S TELEGRAM.) PARIS, March 17.
