LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL - JUDGMENT-PARRAL V. DAVENPORT. This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart, holding that a verbal agreement for a lease of a farm of 100 acres in Cheshire for fourteen years was a good and valid agreement. The Lord Chancellor, on considering the evidence pro duced on both sides, which was very conflicting, came to the conclusion that the plaintiff had proved his caso. The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decision of the Vice-Chancel lor, with costs. COURT OE DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary, Justice Keating, and Baron Wilde.) HILL V. HILL. Dr. Tristram, on behalf of Lieut. Willoughby Hill, of the Bombay Army, applied this morning to the full Court to grant an appeal from the decision of the Judge Ordinary, before whom the trial originally took place. The proceedings were commenced on the 13th of June, 1860, two petitions, one from each of the parties being pre ( sented to the Court. That of Mrs. Hill was for judicial separation from her husband on the ground of cruelty, and that of the husband alleged adultery committed by Mrs. Hill with a clergyman of the name of Wood. On the 17th and 18th of June, in the present year, the trial for the dis solution of marriage took place, and the result was a ver dict for Mrs. Hill, acquitting her of adultery and the dis missal of the petition for damages. Mr. Hill was induced to allow judgment to go by default, on the understanding that his solicitor would be enabled to prevent any further examination of witnesses if he (Mr. Hill) wrote a letter authorising him to consent to the decision of the Court. This was accordingly done ; but, of course, the Court wished for evidence on the occasion, and it was accordingly tendered, and the decree for judicial separation was finally pronounced. During the examination a great many points were touched upon, and Mr. Hill, on becoming acquainted with what had taken place, felt much surprised, and de termined to take every step that was open to him to contra dict a great deal of the testimony given before the learned judge. He therefore thought that, as Mr. Hill had been misled by his solicitor, the Court would grant the applica tion he had to make, which was for a rule nisi, calling upon the other side to show cause why there should not be a new trial. If the proceedings had taken place in the old Ecclesiastical Court his application would at once be granted, and he hoped the Court would not refuse to grant him the rule asked for. The Judge Ordinary said when no appearance was entered, it was taken as consent. Dr. Tristram—Mr. Hill's attorney had engaged to pre ♦ent the further examination of witnesses. Had Mr. Hill known such an arrangement could not have been carried out, he would not have agreed to allow judgment to be pro nounced without any attempt on his part to refute some of the charges brought against him. The Judge Ordinary—The petition presented to the Court contained some very disgusting charges, and he took it that if a person consented to the contents of a petition to that Court, he looked upon it as a confession. Mr. Justice Keating did not think there was the slightest ground for the issuing of the rule, and therefore the appli cation ought to be refused. Baron Wilde said he was of the same opinion. There did not appear to be any complaint that injustice had been committed, but it seemed to him that rather more had been proved against Mr. Hill than he liked. He was now anxious to contradict it. The Judge Ordinary said the motion for appeal was re jected, and, of course, with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, —(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. rHE SHAM GASMAN.—John Newman and Caroline Townley were charged before Mr. Beadon, as follows : John Martin, 46, Hertford-street, Mayfair, butler to Dr. Reed, said prisoner came yesterday evening at a quarter to six, and said he was the gasman and came to inspect the gas-meter, at the same time walking in. He asked him who sent him, and he, said Mr. Bennett, of Silver-street. He (witness) left him in the hall, and went to his master and asked if he expected the man, and his master then came out. The prisoner then made a long story, and said he had hurt his hand, and the doctor looked at it and said, " You are a regular impostor," and then sent for a constable, and it was found the prisoner had been to the next house also. In answer to a question, the witness said the prisoner would not at first let the doctor see his hand, but he in sisted, and afterwards the prisoner fell on his knees and begged forgiveness. Ho saw nothing of the woman. James Wilding, servant to Mr. Cockerell, of 45, Hert ford-street, said he came to the house and said he had come to inspect the gas, and that he was Mr. Bennett. He said he wished to speak on private business, and on his asking what it was, prisoner said " I should boa - fool to tell you." The prisoner then left and went to Dr. Reed's. He saw the woman in the street. Prisoner said he had no questions to ask. Pollard, 201 C, said yesterday evening he saw the male prisoner and the female together in Chesterfield-street, Mayfair. William Lush, a constable, C division, said he took the male prisoner into custody. The prisoner denied going to look after the gas. At the corner of the street he saw the woman, and while he was struggling with him she came up, and said, "Let the man go, you --." Another con stable then came to his assistance. The male prisoner was very violent. Inspector Webb said an ivory -handled umbrella was found on the woman. Remanded. THAMES. THE BAD WIFE.—A rough, honest, and hard-working man, about 40 years of age, came before Mr. Woolrych, and said he had a serious complaint against his wife, to whom he had been married since 1836. She was a good wife and mother for many years, but she had lately gone astray with another man, had neglected her home, frequently got drink, and had violated her marriage vow. Mr. Woolrych—lf you want redress for that you must go to the Court of Probate and Divorce, to Sir Cresswell Cress well, at Westminster. The applicant—She annoys me in every possible way, sir, and is the plague of my life. Am I bound to support a wife who is leading such a bad life ? Mr. Woolrych—No man is bound to support a wife who has been faithless to him. The applicant—She will not let me have the care of my child, and I know she will corrupt the child's morals. Mr. Woolrych—What is the age of your child ? The applicant—Ten years, sir. , - Mr. Woolrych—Then you are entitled to the care and custody of your child. If your wife is the bad woman you represent, she ought not to have the control of the child, and the sooner you take it from her the better. Applicant—l was a seafaring man and followed the sea until I obtained employment from the Regent's Canal Dock Company, and am in their employ. One of my mates has led my wife astray. He works in the same dock. My wife is fifty years of age. Mr. Woolrych—You should inform the respectable company by whom you are employed of your mate's conduct. The applicant—Can you not punish thcm, sir. Mr. Woolrych—No ; this is not a court for the trial of faithless wives and their paramours. You must go to another place. The applicant—My wife has threatened me, and I am in danger of my life. I dare not go to bed. lam afraid of being strangled in the night. Mr. Woolrych—Then take a summons against hor for a breach of the peace, and mind you are here on the day the summons will be made returnable. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was very moderately supplied a ith English wheat. The demand both for red and white qualities, was by no means active, nevertheless, Monday's currency was v ell maintained. The imports of foreign wheat this week are large, viz., 22,460 quarters, and the show of samples was somewhat extensive. Sales, generally speaking, progressed slowly, yet importers were sellers only at quite former rates. . . Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at late currencies. Barley was a slow sale, yet no change took place in its value compared with Monday. • In malt, with the exception of the finest new qualities, very little was doing. The quotations, however, were unaltered. Oats met a slow inquiry, at provious rater. The supply on offer was moderato. Beans and peas were in limited supply, and prices were fully supported. Flour changed hands to a fair average extent : at full currencies. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The Liverpool Cup, which is the last race of any impor tance this year, will be decided on Friday. Only a very few horses have been supported for this event. Lady Ripon has hold the premiership in the betting almost since the appearance of the weights ; her getting so close to Brown Duchess, in the Oaks, was a fluke, as both Silver hair and Fairwater could have beat her. Her performances since have been very moderate. At Kelso she won four small races, but her opponents were only platers. The only reason, therefore, for her being first favourite is the opera tions of certain of the metalic gentry, who never miss lay ing when they catch a "greenhorn" that can fork up the needful. The movements with regard to Russley and Sir William reflect no credit on the agent of Mr. Merry, the latter gentleman being one of the most upright supporters of the turf, and who would not allow any of his horses to remain in the market for the purpose of gambling and getting a little out of the public. If both Russley and Sir William reach the post the latter is sure to beat his stable companion, notwithstandingthe favourshownto the former. Prince of Denmark goes up and down in the market like a shuttlecock, and will soon take his place in the outside division. With his lenient weight he could win,if wanted. Confidante won the Roxburgh Handicap in a canter, and ought to have a great chance here, even with her 81b penalty. Gabrielle d'Estrees could have won the Cam bridgeshire, and will beat Lady Ripon, if she represent the French party. The old horses, including M. Phillippe, Timandra, Remunerator, Petra, Soothsayer, Killigrew, and Romeo, should produce the winner amongst them, as the heavy state of the ground will just suit them. Wildman will take a deal of beating, and Sir William, according to his running in the City and Suburban, ought to finish before Sawcutter, the latter of whom has super seded his stable companion Millionaire, who has gone fishy within the last twenty-four hours. My advice at the present time is to watch the movements of the "confederacy" to-morrow and Friday, as the tone of the market will be the best guide to those who wish to speculate. My present impression is that either WILD MAN or GABRIELLE D'ESTREES will finish the winner; but, with a start, Sir WILLIAM will be my sole repre sentative. The other events are so dependent on previous running, that they do not require any comment from A FRESH MAN. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-TUESDAY. For the Liverpool Cup the favourite and Russley were firm, and Avalanche was in fair request. M. Philippe was again in demand, but as all sorts of prices have been laid against him, a very small outlay is sufficient to bring him forward. Remunerator was backed at the same time as low as 100 to 6. Sit William receded to 25 to 1 (offered), and Millionaire was friendless at a similar price.

COMPARISON BETWEEN SHELLEY AND BYRON. —Shelley and Byron were of their time the two most pro minent poets of scepticism and of passion ; but their different treatment of the same themes is remarkable. Byron's scepticism and his passion are both undefined, chaotic, and incontrollable. In Shelley's philosophy we find a deep per vading sense of the Cosmos, and his depth of passion flows with an evenness of impetuous energy contrasting with the boiling fitfulness of his contemporary. Shall we in any passages of Byron find the ecstasy of love more finely de scribed than in the sixth canto of the " Revolt of Islam," or a more fervent invocation and expression of worship than the " Epipsychidion ?" This poem is not to be quoted; indeed, few of his poems can bear dismemberment, because there is a unity and connexion in each of his works which is not the least of their excellences. But, in making a comparison between Byron and Shelley, it must be borne in mind that in the former all is of this earth—earthly beauty, earthly passion, earthly lave ; while in the latter all is mythical and mystical, not to the exclusion of the earthly, which is monkish, but to the exaltation of it as a type of that which is higher than itself. In the genius of Byron is found the fitful storm of a mighty whirl wind : in that of Shelley is felt a power which moves with the even onward rush of the hurricane.—Temple Bar. AEU 711 E CM GAS QUESTION. A numerous meeting of the inhabitants of the ward of Furring -on Without W 45 held last even ing in the Sessions House, Old Bailey, convened by Alderman Sir James Duke, M.P., in the following terms : "In pursuance of the following requisition, numerously and respectably signed, addressed to me, as Alderman of the ward of Farringdon With out, I hereby appoint a meeting of the inhabitants of the said ward, to take the same into considera tion, on Tuesday next, the 12th day of November inst., at six for seven o'clock in the evening pre cisely, at the Sessions House, Old Bailey : „ "' To thelVorshipfal Sir James Duke Bart., M.P., Alder• man of the Ward of Farringdon. Without. " We, the undersigned inhabitants of your ward, re spectfully request that you will call a wardmote at your earliest convenience, to take into consideration the increase in the price of gas. " ' Dated this 7th day of November, 1861. " JAMES DUKE, Alderman." The chair was taken by the worthy alderman precisely at seven o'clock, at which time the build ing was crowded in every part. The CHAIRMAN said that in consequence of a re quisition directed to him, be felt happy in comply ing with the request EO made at the earliest oppor tunity. He was glad to see so many gentlemen present to consider and discuss an important ques tion, and had only to express a hope that if any one were present who entertained a different opinion he would get a fair and impartial hearing. (Hear, hear.) He then called on the Ward Clerk to read the requisition. Mr. PONTIFEX having done so, Mr. POTTER said he rose in consequence of that requisition to ask a question of the worthy alder man. That meeting purported to be one of the in habitants of the Ward of Farringdon Without, but he saw many faces there from Bow and elsewhere, who were not inhabitants, and he wished to know whether it was proper they should take a part in the proceedings. Sir JAMES DUKE, M.P., replied that those who were strangers now present must have been ad mitted by the carelessness of the beadles at the dcor, but he hoped no gentleman unconnected with the ward would have the bad taste to take any part in the business of that meeting. Mr. POTTER observed that under these circum stances he should move that those not connected with the ward should immediately withdraw. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") Mr. STANBOROUGH seconded the motion, because he believed that the strangers present were almost to a man connected with gas companies in the city of London, and were there to interrupt the pro ceedings. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN put the motion, which was carried by a great majority, and he then requested strangers coweteously to withdraw, but they declined doing so; upon which Mr: PONTIFEX (the ward clerk) suggested that the beadles be called ou to turn out those not con nected with the ward. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HARTEY would not have recourse to such a proceeding, but he severely reprehended the conduct of those who remained at that meeting after the courteous request made by their worthy alderman. (Cheers.) He had been an inhabitant of that ward for 30 years, and never saw such a scene as the pre sent. He looked upon it as a disgrace to the gas companies that they should pack that court with their men to stifle the honest expressions of opinion of the inhabitants of this ward—inhabitants, he would add, who were already taxed too severely. (Hear, hear.) He was ashamed of those of his fellow men who would come into that ward to interfere with the feelings and opinions of the inhabitants. (Cheers.) Their conduct was most disgraceful, and he should, under the circumstances, move that that wardmote be dissolved. Mr. Deputy OBBARD suggested that they might go on with the business of the meeting, and they need not allow any strangers to take a part in it. (Cries of "No, no.") Mr. LUSTIER thought it would be better to dis solve the wardmote at once, and he should therefore ccrdially support the proposition of his friend Mr. Harvey. The question was then put, and being almost unanimously carried, the wardmote was dissolved. On a vote of thanks being passed to the Chair man, Sir X. DUKE returned thanks, and said be should be happy at all times to comply with the wishes of his fellow wardsmen, especially on so important a question as that which they had met to discuss that evening. He was sorry for what had occurred, but hoped steps would be taken to prevent a recur rence of it hereafter. Mr. G. WALTER wished to know from the worthy alderman when it was his intention to convene the next meeting. Sir ,TAMES DUKE replied that he could not mane a day until he got a requisition, but he would do so immediately aftr. A requisition' was at once prepared in the ante room, and presented to the worthy Alderman, to call another meeting for the same purpose, and Tuesday next was fixed, when it is understood such measures will be adopted as will exclude all persons who have not any right to be present according to the terms of the requisition. The proceedings then terminated. Yesterday again, at a meeting of the Commis sioners of Sewers, held at Guildhall, Deputy Christie in the chair, the question of the supply of gas to the whole city, under the new Metropolis Gas Act, was brought prominently under consideration. A report was read from a special committee of the commis sion to whom it was recently referred to consider, with particular regard to the Great Central Gas Consumers' Act of 1851, a letter, dated 2d of Sep tember last, signed by the chairmen of the three city gas companies, intimating that on and after Michaelmas their charge would be increased to 4s. 6d. a thousand feet for ordinary coal gas. They had also to consider whether the interests of the gas consumers are sufficiently protected by the Me tropolis Gas Act, and, if not, whether it is desirable to apply to Parliament for more efficient means to remedy the complaints as to the quality and purity of the gas, and for authority to test the illuminat ing power at the place of consumption, instead of at 1,000 yards from the works, as required by the new Act. The advantage of conferring with the Law and Parliamentary Committee of the Corpora tion. A conference had also been had with the directors of three of the companies supplying the city with gas; the City of London Gas Company being represented by Mr. Gray, the chairman ; the Chartered Gas Company by Mr. Howe Browne, deputy•governor, and Captain Giffard ; and the Great Central by their chairman, Alderman Dakin, and by Deputy Virtue, Mr. Warren, and Mr. Rowe. The question was put to those gentlemen — whether, if the corporation were to introduce a bill into Parliament to exempt the city of London from the Act of 1860, the companies would oppose it. To that the representatives of the Chartered Com pany and of the City Gas Company, replied that they should decidedly feel it their duty to oppose any such measure. Alderman Dakin, for the Great Central, said he was not in a position to give a decided answer to the question. They were then asked whether they were prepared to withdraw the notice they had given of their intention to increase the price of gas to 4s. 6d. a thousand feet. They all replied that they could not do so. To the next question, whether they would consent to the test ing being made within the city, instead of at 1,000 yards from the works, the representatives of the City Gas and the Great Central Company cordially agreed to do so, while the directors of the Chartered Company said their testing place was already in Coleman-street, the very heart of the city. A ques tion was then put—whether, assuming the advanced price was conceded, they would agree to abandon the power given them by the new act for districting the city. The deputation stated that, as such a pro ceeding could not be taken until August, 1863, they were not in a situation to answer the question, which they thought premature. The committee had subse quently placed before them by the Ci ty of London and the Great Central Companies the subj oined proposi tions, the probability being that the Chartered . Com pany would also assent to them :—First, that they would undertake for five years to come not to charge a higher price than 4s. Gd. a thousand feet, nor charge any rent for the use of meters ; nor that cannel coal should be used, except by special agree ment with the parties consuming. This was the substance of the report of the committee, and yes terday Deputy Christie, their chairman, said it was n s i o m r p e l s y o l a u t s i t o a n t e o m n e t n of facts, h t e subject. and o that On th they e motion came riteo puty Harrison the report was ordered to be entered on the minutes of the Court. Dr. Abraham had given notice of his intention to move that the Com mission of Sewers do not enter into any contract with the Great Central for the public lighting until the ee notice issued by th e com p a ny to raise price of gas to 4s. Gd. a thousand feet had been unconditionally withdrawn ; but the City Solicitor expressing an opinion that the Court could not fairly entertain the question, the motion was withdrawn. A petition from the ward of Bishopsgate-without, complaining of bad faith on the part of the Great Central in raising their price to 4s. 6d. a thousand feet, was, on the motion of Dr. Abraham, referred to a committee to consider and report. Dr. Abra ham then, in a speech of considerable length, reite rated all the objections he has so.often expressed in this court against the application of the new Act to the city, and against the Great Central Company for raising their price from 4s. to 48 . g regard to their pretensions in 1851, that their price 1m was to crush a monopoly, and reduce t he i r of gas to the consumers. He moved, pursuant , to notice, that the Remembrancer be instructed to give the necessary Parliamentary notices that application will b e ma d e t o P ar li amen t by this com mission f or l eave to i ntroduce, i n t h e next S ess ion, a Bill to amend the Metropolis Gus Act, or to ex empt the City o f L ondon from its operat i on. O a this a long argument ensued, but it lay in a nut shell, so to speak. B y Dr. Abraham and other members it was contended that, although tile Great Central at their commencement in 1851 not only gave a guarantee that their maximum price should never exceed 4s. 6d. a t h ousand feet, but that it might possibly be reduced to 3s. 6d. or 35., had re cently determined upon raising th e pr i ce to 4s. 6d., which would entail a serious loss to the citizens, especially the numerous class of sma ll tradesmen. Alderman Dakin argued, on the other hand, that the circumstances were now wholly altered, and that the Great Central, by the recent Act, within the purview and operation of which they were brought, were compelled to raise their illuminating power 14 per cent. at least, and that to rec ou p themselves they had increased their price an addi tional 6d. a thousand. The motion, after being supporte Mr. Frisker, supported by Deputyree, and Deputy r Fry, Deputy)uty Farrar, Jones, lV n l d anal Saunders, show opp oi . handsosedb and carried.yDeputyEl Elliott, was submitted to a TEE PROPOSED ROAD ACROSS HYDLP PARK. Yesterday, at a meeting of the representative vestry of Chelsea, under the presidency of Mr. J. Miles, a communication from residents in Bayswater was submitted, asking for an expression of opinion frcm that body on the proposed new road across the pa►k, north and south. Mr. LAME (vestry clerk) read the communica tion. which was to the effect that the parishes of Paddington and Kensington had been induced to commence an agitation for this much-required roed, and a public meeting would be held shortly on that side of the park ; and the , object of the communi cants was to request the active members of that vestry to take up the question simultaneously, as they thought that such an array of opinion would certainly carry the point, which was very desirable, for London generally, and especially for Chelsea and adjacent parishes. A long letter from Messrs. H. and R. Powell, of Bayswater, also accompanied the above, stating the expediency and urgency of the scheme being imme diately carried out in time for the forthcoming Great Exhibition ; and containing their plan for the said road, which has been already pretty generally published. It proposed that the road should enter on the north, at the foot of Westbourne-terrace, and running along the ditch on the east of the brick wall which enclosed Kensington -gardens, passing over Kensington-bridge, into the main road opposite Exhibition-road, at an expenditure of £25,000 or £30,000. The CHAIRMAN and others expressed t heir opinion that the road was much needed for the convenience of the public, which was admitted on all sides, but the plan to accomplish the object required more consid€ ration than they were then prepared to give it. Mr. BIRCH moved that the question be referred to the Committee of Works to report, which was seconded and unanimously agreed to. SILK FROM THE PUIIT.TAUB. Mr. H. Fleming, secretary to the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, has received, through the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, some samples of silk grown by Mr. H. Cope, in the Umritser district of the Punjaub; and also copies of correspondence between Mr. Cope and the pri vate secretary to the Governor-General of India with regard to the same. The samples, which are at present at *the offices of the chamber in King street, are to be submitted to the silk trade in this district together with the correspondence ; as in the letter addressed to Mr. Fleming it is requested that "my lords may be favoured with the opinion of the chamber as to the character and commercial value of this silk, and especially whether it would com mand a sale in the English market, and if so wl.ut, price would probably be obtained for it." The spe cimens are, we understand from cocoons of the Kashmeer stock ; and the secretary to the Agricul tural and Horticultural Society of India, in report ing to Mr. Cope the discussion at a meeting of that society, when cocoons and some of the reeled silk were submitted, says :—" This silk was much ad mired by the members present as of first-rate quality being of very fine bright colour and good thread. It was considered that it the production could be extended, it would be a favourite silk in the Eng lish market." Mr. Cope, in his first letter to the Governor-General, stated this opinion with some General information as to the plans he had adopted, adding, " My recent experiment may be considered to have finally and affirmatively decided the hitherto disputed question whether silk may be raised with advantage in this part of the Punjaub . Land and labour are cheap, and the mulberry tree grows to perfection here." In his reply the private secretary to Lord Canning says that his lordship has read the letters with much pleasure, and desires to be in formul " what steps you have taken to make known in England the value of samples such as you enclose in your letter, and whether the Government can be of any use in this respect." Mr. Cope answers that he will gladly make over the whole of his out-turn to be sent to England under the auspices of the Indian Government. In subsequent letters he informs Lord Canning'that he proposes to keep his operations on a limited scale this year (the corres pondence was in July), but that he hopes to do more hereafter • that he has planted 3i acres with the Moms Multicarius, and proposes to extend the area largely next year, if he can get land on fa vourable terms ; that a friend had, on his strong recommendation, entered on a large plantation, where he bad got 50,000 cuttings of the mulberry shrub into the ground ; and that the executive of the Barce Doab Canal were anxious to plant the shrub along the banks of their canal, and be hoped to have cuttings enough to supply them next year. —blanchester Guardian. DESTRUCVION OF A BRIDGE NEAR ROME. An eye-witness gives the following account of the destruction of the magnificent bridge at Civita Cas tellana, 40 miles from Rome, which traversed the ravine, at the entry of that town from Narni, at a height of 120 ft. above the torrent, and was con structed upon more ancient foundations by Cardinal Imperiali in 1712, in the reign of Pope Clement Xl.:—" You are doubtless aware of the tremendous rains and the damage produced by them here in Civita Castellani on the 29th and 30th Oct. There are in our territory three important bridges, among which is the renowned one known as the Clemen tino, close to the city, v, hich Napoleon I. declared to be the best of the kind in Italy. It was extremely lofty, supported on fiv e pil as t ers o f gran di ose dimen sions. These three bridges, struck by the impetus of the waters after mid-day on the 30th ult., were all carried away. On that morning the Clementine bridge was visited by numerous spectators, curious to behold the increase and the violence of the rushing element below. About 3 p.m. I also, accompanied by my friend, Signor Ferdinando repaired to the bridge to gaze upon the headlong course of the swollen torrent.
