The brood mares, horses in training, and yearlings, belonging to the notorious William Palmer were put up by auction by the 'Messrs. Tattersall, this day, at "The Corner," and attracted so large an attendance of com pany that the sale-yard was completely crowded. Many of the leading patrons of the turf and most of - the train ere from the north and south of England were present ; a large majority of the miscellaneous assemblage, how ever, consisted of persons whose only motive was evi dently to satisfy a feeling of curiosity which the circum stances connected with the sale had excited. In certain instances competition was sustained with much spirit, and ,fit will be seen that high prices were realised. In the aggregate the sale amounted to 3,9061. Major Grove, her Majesty's commissioner from the Royal Paddocks, bought Trickstress for 230 guineas ; but strange to say, although he appeared to bid anxiously for Nettle—a decidedly superior animal—he at last let her go, Mr. F. L. Popham purchasing her for 430 gui neas. Nettle, it will be remembered, was first favourite for the Oaks last year, but she fell over the chains soon after starting, and her jockey had his thigh fractured. The Chickea was knocked down , for 800 guineas. The first bid was 300, and Mr. H. Hill spiritedly advanced the price until he reached 780 guineas, when he stopped. The horse was ultimately sold to Mr. Harlock, who, it was understood, bought him for " a noble lord." For the 8-yr-old filly by Melbourne out of Seaweed Mr. Sar gent gave 590 guineas. Staffordshire Nan was purchased for 300 guineas. With retard to the 3-yr-oldlrown colt by Hercules, the auctioneer announced that a papiF 4 gieted AY Pak Mar,lisd _been handed to, him, contatt\saiaprga*,ou' Palmer'e behalf to pay t'he breeder of the colt MO-gui neas on the first occasion of the animal's winning. This promise, however, the auctioneer stated, would in no way affect the sale, as the purchaser weld pay the money, or not, as he pleased. Subjoined is a marked catalogue, with the names of the purchasers of the different lots affixed : Doubt (foaled in 1846), by Gladiator, 81 guineas (Mr. Blenkiron). Trickstress, 8 yrs old, 230 guineas (Prince Albert). Duchess of Kent, 200 guineas (purchaser's name omitted). Geldfinder's dam (foaled in 1843), 71 guineas (Mr. Parker).

BAIL COURT. ;Sittings at Nisi Prius.—Before Mr. Justice Erie and Common Juries.) STOTLARD V. ALDRIDGE.-CRIlf. CON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, formerly a surgeon at dull, against the defendant, who had an. qnired considerable reputation as an actor, under the name of the African Roscius, to recover compensation in damages for an alleged criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The defendant pleaded not guilty, and leave and licence. Mr. E. James and Mr. P. Thompson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins for the defendant. The statement on behalf of the plaintiff was, that in 1849 he was carrying on the profession of surgeon den tist, but had, in the same year, taken a fancy for the stage. He went to Liverpool, and there became ac quainted with the defendant, who was a person of colour, and who was then "starring" under the name of the African Roscius. This person offered to teach the plaintiff the profession for a sure of 50/. The plaintiff raised this sum upon a reversion to which he was entitled, and handed it over to the defendant. Shortly after this, the plaintiff, then only 18 years of are, was induced to marry a young girl who lived at 22, Todd's-place, New-road, where they were then lodging. This occu rred on the 15th of August, 1849, the defendant being present at the wedding, and giving the girl away. The plaintiff and his wife were then sent to Wales by the defendant, and they lived together there for some months. until the plaintiff found that he could not afford to take his wife the different circuits, and be then sent her to her mother at Tunbridge Wells, and it' was during this separation that the defendant had taken advantage of the opportu nity, and had seduced the plaintiff's wife. He had then gone to Germany. and whilst there had written the fol lowing letter to Mrs. Stothard relative to her pregnancy: " My dear Emma,—Your letter bee just now reached me, and I am very much surprised at its contents. You may be mistaken. You say William (the plaintiff) has been with you, and is it net likely that his visits have occasioned this mischief? However, write me particulars immediately—tell me everything—what you intend doing, and where you mean to go, and I will make a re mittance. Has Mrs. A. questioned you in conne3tien with me ? If so, what passed ? How is your annt ? Where is William ? Wliat brought. him to town ?—Yours sin cerely, "Ina." After the confinemeot of the plaintiff's wife, he wrote another letter, of which the following is a copy:— " Dear Madam,—Yon would not have been neglected, but I had some communications made to me of !nest imprudent conduct on your part, which has very much annoyed me, and causal me not to address you again. I do so now, however, and if you give me the assur. ance that the child colour,' and that the father is the person you name—yau understand me—both you end your child shall not be neglecter?. Is it a boy or a girl ? Write by return, enclosing the same in the ,envelope I send you. Seal mine up, and then di rect it to me. Do not, pay the postage. Tell me, does your mother know Rhone child it is, and is she unkind to you ? Did your aunt leave you anything ?—Yours faithfully, " Inst." It would be proved that the child was "of colour," and bad since died. The marriage having been proved, evidence was ad duced to show that the defendant was a man of colour, and bad acted under the name of the African Roscius. He played both tragedy and comedy well. Mrs. Ingleden said she was the mother of the plain tiff's wife, who was now 30 years of age. She had oh jecte Ito the marriage. In about seven or eight months after the marriage her daughter returned to her. Her daughter, previous to the marriage, had been residing with her aunt in London. The plaintiff had first seen his wife there when he was lodging there with the defendant. On her sister dying, witness went to London, and found that her daughter had been confined of a coloured boy. The child died when it was two months old. Her daughter came to live with her after the marriage, as the plaintiff could not afford to keep her. Her daughter took in needle-work to get her living. She was now staying with her. Cross-examined—Her daughter had only two children, the first of which was by her husband, and the second was the coloured child. Her daughter had never coin plained of the treatment of her husband. She upbraided him for neglecting her, tint he had said that he had written her letters, which she had not received. Wit ness was in indigent circumstances. Her daughter had been confined of her first child in the Lying-in Hospital. She did not know where her husband was at the time. He wrote to her daughter whilst she was at the hospital, saying that his aunt wished to know whether they were married, and he told her to say they were not married if any inquiries were made. Re-examined—The plaintiff told her daughter, when she complained of his neglecting her, that he earned so little that ho could not send her any money. Susannah Burgess—ln 1853 Mrs. Stothard came to live at her house, and was there confined of a coloured child. She had spoken to the defendant about it, and said that he was the father. He asked her why she thought he was the father, and she replied, because it was so like him, and was black like he was. Mrs. Stothard told her that the defendant would pay her. The defendant did promise to pay her, and sent her 55., which he said he gave her for herself and family, and not on " Emma's" account. The child was born on the 15th March, 1853. Mrs. Matthews said she had the child to nurse, and that it was a coloured child. It died whilst it was with her, and Mrs. Stotbard went to the funeral, Mr. Smelly, a surgeon in Judd-place, New-road, said the child had been brought to his house. It had died from dysentery, and he had certified the cause of death. The child was coloured azol had woolly hair. Mr. Diller), a theatrical agent, had made repeated en gagements for the defendant. The defendant was now in Cork. • Mr. Norman said he was an actor at the Surrey Theatre. He knew the plaintiff, who was acting with him at the Union Theatre, Liverpool, where he went by the name of Stewart for nearly 12 months. The plaintiff earned about a guinea per week. He played " utility" parts in anything. He was a little, fair man, about 22. This being the plaintiff's case, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins then contended that there was no proof that the parties in question were the parties TRIESEMAR, No. 1, who were married. , reni.r:y tor Relaxation, Suermatorrham. and all the distressing Mr. Justice Erle said in his opinion there was en& consequences arising from early abuse, &c., and its effects are effi. cient evidence to go to the jury. placing w laich carious i n y ou th, m anhood, and old age; and to those p ersons w h o Mr. J ames , i n summ i ng up t h e pla i nt iff' s evidence, are prevented entering the T arried :xi/as from t results of early errors it is invaluable.

THE SUBSCRIPTION ROOM. The room was very thinly attended until after the sale when subscribers mustered numerously; but Epeculation was still on a limited scale. The only movement of in terest was the outlay in support of Wentworth for the Derby ; after 8 to 1 had been laid to 501., 7 to 1 was taken to upwards of 4001. Capt. Hatton, chief of the Stafford constabulary, and Mr. Stephens, the executer to the late Mr. Cook, were again in attendance to pursue their inquiries.

This morning Mr. Ward, the coroner for the Stafford district, held en inquiry, at the Town-hall, Rageley, on the hotly of Mr. Walter Palmer, brother of Mr. William Palmer, the surgeon, whose death is supposed to have been caused by poison, forming another in the link of mysterious cases with which the pulrlic have of late be. come so intimately acquainted. Prior to the commencement of the proceedings, the coroner produced the depositions in the ease of Mrs. Anne Palmer, held last week, together with the finding of the jury, and the coroner issued his warrant against him, committing him for trial at the ensuing assizes. Mr. Gardner, solicitor, of Stafford, appeared as before on behalf of the Crown to conduct the prosecution ; Mr. Deane watched the proceedings on behalf of the insur ance companies involved ; Awl Mr. John Smith, of Birmingham, defended the accused. From the evidence taken to-day, and the cross exami• nations that ensued upon it, it appeared that Walter Palmer was, like his brother William, the accused, a sporting man, and in the habit of attending races in dif ferent parts of the country. He was in the habit of drinking to excess ; indeed he was rarely sober, and had a severe attack of delirium p-evious to his death. Dr. Ray, a surgeon of Stafford, said that Walter Palmer resided at Castleton, in Staffordshire, and that he (witness) was in the habit of attending him. On one occasion he complained to witness that he bad given him pills which twisted him, and witness was forcibly struck with the remark, begat:use he had neither given nor prescribed pills for him, and it subsequently trans pired that they had been administered to him by hie brother William. In cross-examination witness admitted that he hail certified to an assurance company that Walter Palmer was a man in perfect health and of temperate habits. Ile did so upon the representations of William Palmer, and corrected that statement when he had ascertained what were the true facts of the case. Other witnesses were called to speak of the general conduct of William Palmer to his brother, which was kind and considerate. It appeared that they were to agt ca etheritto on the day before Walter's death, at his residence Mr. Mason, a druggist at Castleton, was examined in reference to an alleged sale of prussic acid to William Palmer on the day of his brother's death. He said it was his practice never to sell prussic acid to any but ourdme dical practitioners, and he thought that if Williakn s Palmer had purchased any he should fi nd an entry in his books. The enormous sum of 2 3 , 00 01. was insured b y Willi am Palmer on the life of his brother, and thi s c i rcumstance, it was stated, first led to suspicion, and th e su dd en d eat h of Mr. Cooke made it assume a more t ang ibl e f orm. Dr. Taylor the w t h present e h a du rinngo a t pr esented incitr his ybu r t e u p p o r t t o the ris ing . It may, however, be stated th a t h e h as f oun d pruss i c ac id in the body, and h e w ill state his belief that Walter p s lmer's death w as caused by that poison. Shortly befor e 7 o ' c l oc k the inquiry was adjourned until 10 o'clock t o - morrow (Tuesday) morning, but it i s supposed that D r . T ay l or w ill not b e exam i ne d b e f ore Wednesday, on the e ven i ng o f w hi c h d a y the co roner expresses a hop e th a t th e i nques t may b e b roug ht t o a close. RUSSIAN PREPARATIONS IN TIE BALTIC —A. letter from St. Petersbnrg, of the 2d instant, in the Patrie, says :—" One of the points of the empire which it has appeared to the Russian Government will be particularly open to the attacks of the allied fleets in the next cam paign will be Archangel, the principal Russian establish• went in the White Sea. The Council of War, during its recent deliberations, decided on having a supplemen tary line of defences constructed, and several batteries erected and mounted with guns of the very longest range. Orders have been given for conveying over the snow in sledges to Archangel 42 pieces of artillery of large calibre, and owners of those vehicles have been called on to tend in tenders for the transport both of these guns and of a variety of warlike stores. It is expected that 10,000 militia will be stationed on the banks of the lon, between the 86,44 ud Cronstvlb." Her Ma:*.ty's paddle-wheel steamer Vesuvius, COM manger 11031 e, is undergoing active repairs in theWhel wich Dockyard. Her principal damages were confined to the rigging, which have been made good by the arti sans of the fleet. The Vesuvius has rendered important services in her reconnoitring surveys over the enemy's 'movements throughout the whole of the. siege, and was under fire during most of the operations since the cern• meecement of the war. She sailed frora Portsmouth on the 1 11th of August, 1853, and proceeded to Gibraltar, Malta, and the Bosphorus, whence she had to return to Malta to ship new boilers. Thence she took out the 28th ]Regiment to Callip `.eyed the Black Sea during the fearful gale in whieh the Tiger was lost. She subsequently accompanied two French vessels with traops to the Crimea. The Vesuvious has been men ' tionei in the despatches as having performed some con spicuous parts. She was at the Sulina Mouth, where she suffered the loss of five men, and the second master was wounded. In an action at Sebastopol her beam was cut away and some shot passed through and lodged in her hull. At the Alma the well-directed fire of the Vesuvius forced the left wing of the Russians from their forward movement. She was also in some desperate attacks with the Samson, Fury, and Terrible, at Sebas topnl, and towed her Majesty's ship Queen to the atack on Fort Constantine. On the 14th of November the Vesuvius lost her mainmast, mizenmast, bowsprit, and three guns (one a 68-pounder), in a gale, and went into Ealaklava a complete wreck at the time, when 11 other ships foundered close to her. Fur five months she was emp!oyed supplying men and officers for the batte ries, and doing harbour master's duty ; Captain Powell, her commanding officer at the period, obtained his pro. motion, when Capt. Sherard Osborn succeeding to the comneand, refitted, and blockaded Kertch, and being senior officer there fired the - first shot. They were there met by the fleet, and were enabled to cover the landing of the army under the command of Sir G. Brown. The Vesuvius then anchored off Yenikale, entered the Sea of Azoff, with orders from the Admiralty to seize, burn, • destroy all public property withi n reach. Afterwards she, took the rounds, with Captain Edmund Lyons, in bombarding Arabat, and destroyed all stores, granaries, and other Go vernmen t p ro p er t y i n Taganrog,Marionpol, Gheisk, l3erdiansky, Genitch, and anchored off Peto, where the Vesuvius was obliged to remain for six months till the end of the a aeon, and thence scoured the.whols coast. The refitting her boilers, &e., and other neces. eery repairs will not be completed under six weeks. The medals were distributed on Saturday on board to the officers and crew, who have likewise a claim to the Alma clasp, having been actively employed in the whole of that engagement. With an intention of bombarding the town ofPetrefsberge at the entrance of the river Berdo, the Vesuvius having anchored off the town, a field bat tery opened fire on her, cutting away her fore shroud, royal yard in rigging, and doing her severe injury ; but the men were speedily at their quarters, and before they had forced a dozen shells the earthwork forts were dis mounted, and the enemy were obliged tee retreat with their field pieces, not having a sufficient force to main tain a resistance. The Vesuvius did not at the time land her crew, but ultimately returned with the allied squadrons and shelled the town, landed the crews of the vessels, which were attacked by the artillery in the rear, and destroyed the fsrtifications. When refitted, tse Vesuvius will be despatched for operations in the Baltic next spring. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Pearl has received her crew and marines from the hulk. The Devastation has shipped her life-boats, and will go from the inner to the outer basin to-day. The Kite, third-class paddle-wheel steamer, from Bermuda, has arrived at .Woolwich to be refitted and rigged. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty : Vice-Admiral Manley H. Dixon to the Reserved List of flag officers in receipt of service pensions, Vice-Ad miral Curry, deceased. Henry Lamb, acting second master, to the Magicienne. The sailing transport Nelson is embarking at Clarence yard, Portsmouth, 500 tons of provisions of various kinds for the army in the Crimea. The Cmsar, 91, screw-ship, Captain Robb, was taken out of dock at Portsmouth yesterday, having had a thorough overhaul. The Lucifer steam-vessel sailed yesterday from Ports mouth for Pembroke, with Mr. Tonkin, Second Master Attendant, of the first-named dockyard, and a narty of riggers, to navigate round the new screw-sloop Pioneer, of 6 guns. Major Boyd, of Roslare-house, Wexford, has received the following letter from the Earl of Cardigan, in answer to one addressed to his lordship on the subject of the contemplated monument to the men and officers, natives of Wexford, who fell during the present war. " London, Jan. 6. " reply to your letter of the 23d ult., I beg to state that I shall have much pleasure in giving my sup port to the object y o u h ave i n v i ew , v i z . , t o do honour to the memory of any officers or men who fell in the memor able charge of the Light Cavalry at Balaklava ' and in which I must s a y, a lth oug h I had the honou r o f l ea di ng it, every officer and man distinguished himself by his gal lantry —every man doing his duty. I am also happy, more particularly, to pay every respect to the memory of Lient. Haughton, who had served some time in the 11th Hussars, under my command. " CARDIGAN. " Major Boyd, J.P." The following detachments of regiments embarked yesterday on board the screw-transport Borussia, No. 33, at Portsmouth, for conveyance to the Mediterranean : ithißoyal Fusiliers—Lieut. Courtenay, Ensign C , ek, , , Ensign Kirwan, and 84 men ; 23d Royal Welch Fusi liers- Ensign Delmnee, Ensign Romilly, and 100 men ; East Kent Militia—Ensign Bridges, Ensign Suden, and 20 men ; Northampton Militia-48 men Commander W. A mshurst, of the Princess Royal, 91 screw, is a pas-en,r,-r in this ship She takes out a quenrity of ordnance stores arid 130 tens of ground coffee, 70 tons •if an, & for the army. Flavitrz embarked the rh rrson, the Berre.sie went nut of harbeur, and, after tak ing po ider at Spithead, will sail for her destination, saltine a! , Plymouth to embark a d. ta,chment of the Land Transport Corps. The depot of the 59th Regiment, in the Belfast dis trict, being about 600 strong, an order from the Horse Guards has been received, calling for volunteer , , to an unlimited number, for corps in the Crimea—the volun teers to receive a guinea bounty, one-half to be raid im mediately, and the remaining half when they join their new corps. THE NAVY.—We yesterday made a few observations on the duties of those contractors who have undertaken to deliver at a certain time the vessels entrusts 1 to them to build by the Admiralty, and we do hope that we shall not be compelled by any dilatory acts on their part to allude more particularly to the subject. There is an old saying, which will and must apply in this cave, " Where there is a will there is a way." The vessels have been contracted for ; the Lords of the Admiralty gave the prices asked, and it is too late now to begin making ex cuses. The surveyor of the navy is not an unreasonable man. On the contrary, he is considerate to a degree, and he will exact nothing to which the most fastidious and crotchetty person could object. The shipbuilders have grown wealthy under the protection afforded to them by the navy ; and a moment like the present, when " England expects that every man will do his duty," is a fitting time for them to show their gratitude even by making some pecuniary sacrifice to meet the emergency. We repeat our words of yesterday, let masters and men commune together in a proper spirit, and all will be well. To be determined to overcome difficulties is half the battle in getting rid of them.—Morning Herald. THE MILITIA. Commanding officers of militia regiments have received a notification from Government that a quota of 25 per cent, of their establishment will be required as volun teers to the regular army for the present year ; commis sions in the line to be granted the same as last year, in the proportion of one to every 75 volunteers. As an en• couragement to the volunteers, the half of militia ser ♦iee is to reckon as line service in claims for extra pay and pelsion. Tau CITY BANK.—The directors of the City Bank have called a meeting for the 29th inst. to propose an increase of capital. THE PIED-NEZ.—A statement of the ease of the Pied nez, furnished by the receiver of droits at Liverpool, differs entirely from that stated on Friday from the Liverpool adviceg. It is averred that the receiver had no option but to adopt the course he did, and that, PO far from exercising any undue interference, he acted as mediator, and permitted the master of the Pied-nez to tike possession of the anchor, not for a moment suppos ing but that the master could subsequently identify it from the maker's name and number, the Pied-nez being a new ship in 1855, classed A 1. The receiver has since, it is asserted, seen reason to believe that a deception has been practised either on him or on the surveyors and committee of Lloyd's Registry of Shipping, and it is this question which is now to be cleared up to the satis faction, not only of the Board of Trade, but of the com mittee of Lloyd's Registry and the underwriters of Lloyd's and Liverpool. WINE EXPOBTS.—A return of the sherry wines ex ported durivg the past year shows the qnantity to have been 26,620 butts from Xeres and 17,015 from Port St. Mary's. The largest shippers from Xeres were P- D mecq, 3,374 butts ; Gonzales Dubose and Co., 2,811 ; P. Garvey, 2,535 ; Pemartin and Co.. 2.437 ; Mbiaa, nd Berteinati. 2,015 ; S de Ia Sierra, 1,917 ; P. rw , g beaer ,)nd Co., 1,613 ; F. G. Cosens, 1,563 ; and Paul and Dastis, 1,148. From Port St. Mary's the largest were Duff, Gordon, and Co., 2,618 butts ; J. G. Burdon, 2,233 ; MM. de Mom, 1,575 ; Widow Harmony and C 1,381 ; Mousley and Co., 1,295 ; and M. and F. Tosar, 1,274. All other shippers were under 1,000 butts each. TRE OVERLAND MAIL.—The commercial ad v i ce , by the overland mail yesterday are notiunfavourable. The in telligence of the lank of England having advanced their rates to 6 or 7 per cent. bad, of course, produced a con siderable effect ; but at Calcutta the market for rearm factured goods was fairly maintained, the profits of the native population, from the activity of the export trade, being steadily on the increase. Instead of the pressure in any signs of relaxation a s in ho t w he ing existing rates was expected, fu t r h t o be m ra e: g ey me market showing the demand for produce causing an absorption of specie in the interior similar to that now observable in the western States of America. Among other calls of this nature a remittance of 1 00,0001. in silver was just about to be made to Burmah for purchases of rice. There is no mail from China by this arrival, but dates four days later—namely, to the 19th of November—from Hong Kong had been received. The general rate of exchange remained without alteration at 4s. 10d., but on Calcutta it had declined from 222 to 219. Politically there was nothing fresh. 16 chops of congou had been settled-- 3 old and 13 new. There were ao later dates froze Shaaatii or Foochow.
