" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a veinal), contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medial Circular, Dec.

A - heavy gale - of - wind prevailed at Portsmouth during the whole of yesterday and the greater part of Sunday night from N.W. to W.N.W. accom panied at slinit intervals with exceedingly fierce squalls of sleet and hail. The' barometers have been very unsteady, Negretti and Zambra's sea coast having fallen a teeth during the day, and now (6 p.m.)-marks 29.30, with its thermometer at 44. The ships•of war in harbour have had all necessary precautions taken to secure them against any acci dent. The Marlborough, 131, screw, Captain W. Stewart, C. 8., lying at Spithead, has two anchors down and topgallant masts struck.

Letters received,from" 'Vancouver's Island, dated January 11, state , that the Forward gunboat, Lieut.

It is supposed that the vessel must have put into 'some one of the many inlets in the neighbourhood owing to some defect in her machinery, and no serious fear at the time the letter _was-despatched was entertained as to her safety.

And the respondent, born before the marriage, was thereby legitimate, accoi ding to the law of Scotland, and entitled to take his father's estates in Scotland, to the exclusion of the appellant, born after the marriage. The Lord Chancellor said Captain Robertson, afterwards Aitkman, the father of the appellant anrrespondent, was a Scotchmaa by birth, and it. did not appear in evidence that he ever lost his domicile of origin, and acquired a foreign domicile, either Anglo- Indian or English. If his domicile had been English at the date of his marriage, the children born before the mar riage would not havo been legitimate according to the law of England ; but his domicile at the time of his marriage was Scotch, and the chi'dren born before the marriage are legitimate by the law of Scotland. Lord Cranworth and Lord Wensleydale delivered their opinions, and entirely concurred with the Lord Chancellor. Tho Lord Chancellor said his noble and learned friend now absent (Lord Brougham), who heard with great atten tion the arguments on both sides, also entirely concurred. The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decision of the Court of Session, and dismissed the appeal. The Attorney-General said, in order to save his client (the respondent) the disagreeableness of recovering his costs from his brother (the appellant), ho would not ask costs of the appeal. The Lord Chancellor hoped such good feeling never would be interrupted, and that the parties would live in harmony together. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Commissioner Fonblatique.) IN RE GRIMES. • This bankrupt was described as of the Queen's Arms, Poplar, and of the Goat, Old-street, St. Luke's, publican, and to-day came up upon his examination meeting. Mr. Brough (counsel) appeared for the assignees. The debts are set down as £1,770 ; the available assets figure for £260, but there is property held by 'creditor! which will, it is expected, realise a large amount over and above the debts. The examination was adjourned. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE GROVES.-GROVE'S MUSIC HALL. This bankrupt was described as of Grove's Music Hall, Spread Eagle Tavern, Kingsland-road, and to-day came up upon his examination meeting. Mr. Beard, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the bank rupt, and there being no opposition, the bankrupt passed. TDB UNION DISCOUNT COMPANY. To-day was held a meeting for prooffi of debts in the matter of the Union Discount Company. Debts to some amount were proved, and an adjournment taken till the 18th April next. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. REPORTED SURRENDER OF MESSINA. A letter dated Naples says :LLate yesterday evening we were surprised to hear that the Victor Emmanuel had returned from Messina, conveying, by her so doing, the intelligence that General Fer gola had thought well to - surrender. We may suppose that Cialdiui's threat had conveyed with it no inconsiderable amount of persuasion. Yesterday, by one of the steamers of the Messa genies Imperiales, several officers of the Garibaldian army left for Constantinople. They were mostly Frenchmen. They affirm that they have been sent there by Garibaldi. For my part, says the correspondent of thelforning Post, I am incredulous, but they stoutly assert it, and one of them, a cap tain showed me, a few minutes before starting, letters addressed to him by a committee at Genoa, in which orders were given to him to take that destination. He added that he was charged with a very important mission. Garibaldi has written from Caprera to Major Bandi, who received four wounds at Calatafimi, and the terms of his letter certainly imply that there is at uesent something in the wind, for paribaldi is not a man to write expressions intended merely to mystify. To under derstand the folloiving letter it must be recollected that Bandi is a Tuscan, and that the Dolfi to whom reference is made is the radical baker, the object of Lord Normanby's abhorrence, who wiells at will the not very fierce democracy of Florence " Caprera, 15th Feb., 1861. "My dear Bandi,.—l have seen with pleasure our :Dolfi, and I thank you for the good news which you give me respecting the patriotic enthusiasm of 'the Tuscan youth. Tell those gal lant youths that the time will soon arrive to behold the cessation of the slavery of our brethren of Venice and of Rome, and that assuredly none of us Will be wanting at the Holy Gathering.—Yours, " G. GARIBALDI." At Naples there was fixed up, last Saturday, at ,he corners of the streets, the following proclama- 1011 : " Neapolitans,—lt is a supreme necessity that the public opinion in Italy should loudly manifest itself in demanding. Rome as the capital o f It a l y . Printed declarations, petitions, remonstrances, and all other legal means must be set in a c ti on i n or d er that diplomacy—whether timorous or conniving— that anti-national interests, that narrow and hurtful systems, may no longer stand in the way of the grand desire of Italy. These Southern provinces, which were the first to wish for a country one and indivisible, are bound not to stop short in their object, and should give the example that neither Sovereigns, nor Parliaments, nor Ministers are able to withstand the moral force of public opinion." declaring that the Congress had heard " with disgust, and blamed strongly," the' words which he had employed with respect to the rights of the Queen. This gave rise to a long and confused cussicrn, bid eventually M. Sagasta's explanation was accepted, and the motion was Withdrawn. The debate on Italy, which he had raised, was then ad journed. The journals contain no news ; but the organs of the clerical and Legitimist parties—the Esperanza, the I?egeneracion, and the Pensamiento —make violent attacks on Prince Napoleon for his recent speech in the Senate. IN ItE HINTON. This bankrupt was until lately proprietor of the Highbury Barn Tavern, and to-day was appointed for his examina tion, which had not concluded when this report left. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SHOE-BLACKS AND THIEVES.—THE WAY STREET ROBBERIES ARE EFFECTED.—Two lads, carrying on the business of street shoe-blacks, and who gave the names of George Wenman and Edward Lynch, were charged as fol lows: It appears that a working man living in Crown-street, Soho, was passing along Oxford-street, late at night, when the prisoners got one on each side of him, and he was sud denly thrown to the ground, and while there he felt some one at his trousers pocket. At this moment Sergeant Clif ford, 9 G, came up, having been watching the prisoners, and took them into custody, after seeing them put their hands into the man's pockets. Lambert, 68 G, said he had known Wenman for four years and &half, and he had been convicted summarily eight or nine times for attempts and. picking pockets. He had the character of being one of the cleverest thieves in St. Giles's. About six months ago he took to the business of a shoeblack, stationing himself at the corner of a street, and while ho was there there were about 60 complaints of " snatch" robberies, the practice ,being for three or four lads to get round the prisoner, and as soon as they saw a lady come up one of them snatched her reticule or bag, and then all made off. He had one of the prisoner's com panions for a rubbery of the kind at the time. He know the other prisoner as a companion of thieves, bat did not knsw whether he had been convicted. Mr. Beadon committed them far three months each, with a promise of six months next time. It is almost unnecessary to state that the prisoners are not connected with the shoeblack brigade. CREATING A DISTURBANCE AT THE QUEEN'S THEATRE. Henry Wright, a young man, was charged with the following extraordinary conduct at the Queen's Theatre, Tottenham Court Road. Mr. Charles James James, of 215, Euston Road, the lessee of the Queen's Theatre, Tottenham Court Road, said that in the middle of a piece the previous evening, the defendant left the stalls where he was sitting, climbed over the orcliiestra, and mounting the stage, to the aston ishment of the audience began dancing, creating consider able excitement and a great disturbance. The defendant, however, had since expressed great contrition. Defendant said he was very sorry. He was never in such a disgraceful position before., Mr. Beadon said it was a very serious offence. It threw the place into confusion, and if pickpockets were present would be taken advantage of by them. If it was repeated it must be stopped, and that with a high hand. He should order the defendant to enter into his own recognisance for three months, and he would strongly athase him not to do it again, The defendant again expressed contrition at his foolish act.

The following is the text of the address which the Marquis of Breadalbano made to the King of Prussia on presenting his Majesty with the insignia of the. Order of the Garter : " Sire—By order of the Queen, our Sovereign, we have the honour to approach your Majesty. Animated by the ardent desire of giving to your Majesty a public mark of her sincere attachment and of her esteem, the Queen has elected your Majesty Knight of the Noble Order of the Garter, and has charged us to invest you with the insignia of that order. This eminent mark of the high esteem of the Queen must be an evident proof of her desire to cultivate friendly sentiments between the Royal house of your Majesty and that of Great Bri tain, and to draw still closer the bonds which already exist between them. In obedience to the orders of her Majesty, we requestpermission to present to you the insignia of the very Noble Order of the Garter. Let me be allowed, sire, to express also on this occasion, with a grateful heart, how highly I appreciate the honour Conferred on me in being chosen for this high mission, and in being the bearer of the assurances of the invariable attach ment of the Queen for the person of your Majesty." - - The King replied : receive with joy from your hand the insignia of the very Noble Order of the Garter, of which it has pleased the Queen your Sovereign to name me a knight. They are for me a precious pledge of the sentiments which animate the august Sove reign who is the chief of that venerable order for me and m) house sentiments in which I most heartily participate. This circumstance reminds me of the time when my Royal father, of happy memory, received, in my presence in London, the same order ; I remember the words of my late brother and King, when he designated as tho finest day of his life that on which he received the same insignia from your august Queen. Those are reminiscences of a fine epoch, which have since led to the formation of sacred bonds uniting our two houses. On enter ing into this high brotherhood, I find in it a fresh pledge that those bonds will be more closely and firmly strengthened for the happiness of our chil dren and for the . continuance of the cordial rela tions of monarchs, as well as for the happiness and prosperity of our people. lam pleased to tell you, marquis, that I am happy that the Queeu should have chosen you for this mission, and 1 beg to present to her Majesty the expression of my sentiments and of my gratitude.' SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 7th have arrived. In the Congress on the preceding day there was a very stormy sitting. M. Sagasta, in a speech of considerable length, attacked the Government for its policy in Italy, and insisted that, instead of supporting the cause of the Pope and Francis 11., as it had done, it ought to have assisted the Italians in their efforts to obtain national unity. He main tained that the principle of national sovereignty was the only one by which Governments in these days should be guided, and he said that that was especially true of Spain, which had a Queen who reigned in virtue of national will, and nothing else. The President of the Council of Ministers, and some other deputies, demanded that these Words should be taken down. This was done, and then, on the proposition of other members, one of the standing orders was read, which declares that a deputy, who may use " language offensive to the throne," shall be called to order. The President afterwards declared that he could not allow M. Sagasta to say that the Queen only reigned by the national will, when, in fact, her Majesty reigned not only in virtue of the principle of national sovereignty, but of the indisputable rights of the old Spanish monarchy, which rights had been vindicated in the field of battle by victory. M. Sagasta was about to resume Ins speech with out taking any notice of this incident, when the President told him that he could not be allowed to continue until he had explained his language. M. Sagasta thereupon made an explanation, which was to the effect that, though the Queen ruled by the national will, she possessed hereditary rights also. The President of the Council of Ministers said that this was not satisfactory; and denounced M. Sagasta for talking like a Revolutionists. That gentleman, however, was not disposed to Bay, more, and some Deputies proposed M 009131 AMERICA: The following are extracts from the American papers brought by the Arid, whose\ arrival we announced yesterday : THE PRESIDENT ELECT. The President elect had been waited upon by Lord Lyons and the other foreign Ministers on the 25th. General Scott, r. Seward, and other prominent Republican Senators, were closeted with him concerning the ceremonies connected with the inauguration.. At a general levee given by Mr. Lincoln several hundred gentlemen from all sections of the country paid their respects to him. Mr. Lincoln visited the Senate and House of Representatives. At the former place he was greeted heartily by one and all. When he went upon the floor of the house be was taken first to the Republican side, where, of course,he was greeted warmly ; then he turned to th e D emocra ti c side, and a great majority of the• members instantly rose and shook hands with him. Some of the members treated him with great indifference. MR, LINCOLN'S CABINET. The cabinet of Mr. Lincoln will take something of the following shape : Secretary of State Mr. Seward, of New York.. Secretary of the Treasury Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania. Secretary of War Mr. C. M. Clayt, of Kentucky, or Mr. M. Blair, of Ind. Secretary of the Navy Mr. Wells, of Connecticut. Secretary of the Interior Mr. Smith, of Indiana. Postmaster. General Mr. Etheridge, of Tenn: Attorney-General Mr. Bates, of Missouri. Another report as to the construction of Mr. Lincoln's cabinet is as follows : Secretary of State Mr. Seward. Attorney •General Mr. Bates. Secretary of the Navy Mr. Gilmer, of N. 0. Secretary of the Interior Mr. C. B. Smith, of Ind. Postmaster-General Mr. Wells. Secretary of the Treasury Mr. Cameron. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE MR. LINCOLN. A letter, dated Washington, Feb. 22, says :—" Mr. Lin coln having safely arrived at his destination and become partially domiciliated, efforts are being made to unravel the monstrous plan by which his life was to be destroyed, and, if necessary, the lives of all in his suite: The facts are gradually becoming known. From those thus far deve loped, it appears that the plot was concocted in Baltimore, and being discovered by a detective officer, was by him communicated to two or three leading republicans, includ ing Mr. Seward and Mr. Thurlow Weed. Afterwards it was made known to Mr. Judd, of the Presidential party. On Thursday last, the intelligence having been privately forwarded to New York, several detectives were at once sent from that city to confer and cooperate with those who had the matter originally in charge. Mr. General Superin tendent Kennedy and Commissioner Acton were also on hand. Together they succeeded in ferreting out the details of the conspiracy, and enough has been made known to give it, in the minds of these men, a rank by the side of the most infamous attempts ever made upon hurnan - life. The information thus obtained by the detectives was com municated to the Presidential party while on their way to Trenton and Philadelphia, and when in the latter place t he whole matter was thoroughly discussed and analysed. Mr. Lincoln was urged by his friends to go from Philadelphia direct to Washington ; but, in order to carry out as much of the programme as possible, and, at the same time, to avoid exciting the suspicion of the censpirators, he decided on proceeding to Harrisburg. By the advice of Seward, Judd, and other Republicans, it was arranged that at that point a special train shouldbetakenfor Philadelphia again, whence ho was to proceed to Washington. The public are already awaro of the manner of his departure from Harris burg—the Scotch cap and plaid cloak, the embarkation in this disguise, the night journey, and the great astonishment of the people at his unexpected arrival in this city on the morning of Saturday. These charges of conspiracy have created the greatest excitement throughout Maryland, and especially in Baltimore, where a handful of republicans in tended to receive him with eclat, get him safely through the city, and then bag all the officers. In the rivalries growing out of the probable passage through Maryland, three or four delegations turned up ready to do the agree able to the President, dreadfully perplexing Wood, the commi-sary-general of the party ; and it was while he was in doubt what to do with these different delegations before him at Harrisburg that Mr. Lincoln was half way on the route to Philadelphia. It is said that Wood has not yet recovered from the shock he received at the discovery. The exact mode in which the conspirators intended to consummate their designs has not yet transpired, but enough is known to be satisfactory that either an infernal machine was to be placed under the cars or railway, like the Orsini attempt upon Napoleon, or some obstruction placed upon the track whereby the train would, be thrown down an embankment at some convenient spot; and that if these failed, then, on the arrival at Baltimore, during the rush and crush of the crowd, as at Buffalo, by knife or pistol, the assassination was to be effected. It has also been ascertained that two or three of the conspirators were in New York on Wednesday, the 20th inst., watching the course of events while - the President Elect was there. These are but a portion of the facts ; but when the whole have been revealed it will appear that it was one of the most diabolical and desperate attempts to precipitate the country into revolution that has been attempted since the attack by Orsini upon Louis Napoleon. The Syracuse Journal states that just as 'the Presidell tial train was leaving Cincinnati, a grenade of the most destructive character was discovered in the car occupied by Mr. Lincoln, his family, and personal friends. Attention was drawn to it from the fact that no baggage was allowed in the cars. On examination, the grenade, concealed in the carpet-bag was discovered to be ignited, and so ar ranged that within 15 minutes it would have exploded, with a force sufficient to have demolished the car and destroyed the lives of all the persons in it. Some of the New York papers treat the above statement as a canard. THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND SECESSION. The New York limes is responsible for the following double-leaded article : " ENGLAND AND THE SOUTH. " We are enabled to inform our readers that a letter from a member of the British Government to an American citizen, long resident in Europe, has been recently received here, which gives a more authoritative declaration of British policy in regard to secession than anything which has been made public. " This letter, as we are informed by one who has read it, states that the whole matter of secession has been brought by Lord John Russell before the Ministry, as also the sub ordinate questions of defective clearances, &c. ; and the declaration is made that not only will there be no recogni tion by Great Britain of the Southern Confederacy, but that everything will be done on her part to discountenance disunion. "It is utterly impossible, tho letter states, for Great Dritain to be on good terms with seceding slave-traders. Not even the needless and untimely enactment of the new Tariff Bill can accomplish such a result." TREASON AT TEXAS. A letter from New York says :—The secession of Texas is now complete, the action of the Convention having been endorsed by the Legislature. This has been followed, if the telegraph may be credited, by a monstrous act of treason on the part of the general officer in command of the army of the United States in that part of the country—no less than the surrender to the Stare of Texas of all the materials and munition of war committed to his charge by the Federal Government. THE LOUISIANA ORDINANCE OF SECESSION. The Louisiana Ordinance of Secession, or rather the resolution of reasons for it, are as follows : "Whereas it is manifest that Abraham Lincoln, if in augurated as President of the United States, will keep the promises he has made to the Abolitionists of the North; that those promises, if kept, will inevitably lead to the emancipation and misfortune of the slaves of the South, their equality with a superior race, and before long to the irreparable ruin of this mighty republic, the degradation of the American name and corruption of the American blood. " Fully convinced, as we are, that the slavery engrafted on this land by France, Spain, England, and the States of North America is the most humane of all existing servi tudes ; that to the slave of the South it is far preferable to the condition of the barbarians of Africa or the freedom of those who have been liberated by the Powers of Europe ; that it is in obedience to the laws of God, recognised by the constitution of our country, sanctioned by the decrees of its tribunals ; that it feeds and clothes its enemies and the world, leaves to the black labourer a more considerable sum of comfort, happiness, and liberty than the inexorable labour required from the free servants of the whole uni verse ; and that each emancipation of an African, without being of any benefit to him, would necessarily condemn to slavery one of our blood and our race; " Confident that we have strictly, faithfully, and ever discharged all the duties and obligations imposed upon us by the constitution of our country ; that, on the contrary, the members of the Republican party have already trampled under their feet, and have announced their determination to disregard constitu'ion, laws, obligations, and the judg ments of the courts of the Republic ; and that they will soon have the power, as they always had the will, to destroy our individual and national existence ; therefore be it " Resolved, by the Convention,—That our honour, our legitimate pride, the interests of our slaves and of mankind, command that we should declare that Louisiana owes alle giance only to her laws and to her God, and that she is compelled, by the injustice and bad faith of her sisters of the North, to abandon an Union which she has loved, still loves, and deeply regrets." THE NEW TARIFF. The House of Representatives on the 25th proceeded to the consideration of the Senate's amendments to the Tariff Bill. After acting upon about 50 amendments the bill was reported to the house at 1 o'clock, pursuant to the previous order. The house, then, under the operation of the previous question, proceeded to act on all the amend ments. The amendment imposing a duty of 11c. per lb. on coffee, and on tea 4c., with the addition of an ad valorem per cent., was rejected by a vote of 32 against 147. The remainder o the amendments were concurred in and the bill sent back to the Senate. The bill now only wants the signature of President Buchanan. The Evening Post of the 22 d sa y s : cc If the Tariff Bill should pass it is pretty widely suspected that Presi dent Lincoln will veto it." THE NEW LOAN. Perhaps the best eyidence 0 045;440 Lia the Cielerik• ment which can be giVen has just been rendered it in New York. The new sis per -cent. loan of 8000,000 dole. was offered last week to takers. The whole number of bids amounted ,te about 14,000,000,, and. the Government get for the loan about 90 15-100. The North; however, as well as the South, will be penniless if it goes into a contest ; and this want,. both North and South, furnishes perhaps the best hope for peace. TILE YELVERTON MARRIAGE CASE. The following letter by the Hon. Mrs. Yelverton when she discovered the second marriage with Mrs. Forbes, ,is published in yesterday's _Freeman's journal:— " Wednesday, 26th June, 1858. "My dear sir,—When I visited you in London I was then in total ignorance of the appalling fate which has since overtaken me. When I wrote to you from here I had heard some report of my hus band's infidelity. Some hours after your letter was posted, a friend informed me that the very morn ing following my arrival here my husband had been privately married to a widow of property, and they were gone off together. I will not here enter into the horror or the almost death-blow this was to me, but give you as clearly as I am able a simple narra tive of the facts, believing from the kindly interest you have taken in me that you are entitled to know theni. The certificate I enclosed to you is a faithful copy of the one sent me by the priest. I have also the letter acconipanying it. I telegraphed for my brother-in-law, Mr. Bellamy, of Abergavenny Castle. He proceeded to Ireland; found the priest, who, shocking to relate, refused to recollect, or give any information.. Bat upon being told that a second marriage had taken place, he immediately changed his tone, admitted that my husband had been to him a day or two • previously, and told him that I had no friends in England (I am the niece -of the Countess le Strange), that I had accepted a' compromise for money, that he was all-powerful (the very worda), in fact, fright ened the priest into secresy, I believe. How ever, he cannot get over the fact of the register and the letter being both signed by him. I presume this troth we can force him to speak, but there is another which is of vital importance. According to the law of Ireland, a marriage by a priest between two catholics is valid ; but between a pro testant and catholic it is not. My husband, I fear, has no religion whatever, but he led the priest to suppose he was a catholic, and the legality of my marriage now all depends whether or no the priest will consent to recollect this fact, for we have no writing to prove it. Should he on the other hand declare that he married a protestant and a catholic together, he lays himself open to prosecution. My husband's conduct appears insane, unless he was aware of some flaw in our Irish marriage. I know that he was overwhelmed with debts, and that his affairs had come to a crisis. On the evening of my arrival, he was with me using alternate threats and entreatiesto induce me to leave the country. I had risen from a sick bed, where he supposed me dying. He wished to take me to Glasgow, to put me on board a vessel bound for New Zealand, where I had a brother. He told me that he was a ruined man,- and that I must leave him to his fate. Afterwards my husband's brother came to me, and endeavoured to persuade me to save my husband by leaving the country ; he also wrote to me several times to this effect. There is only one opinion here about the matter, viz., that it is a most infamous plot against me. I should like to know your idea upon the subject if you have leisure to consider the' case. It is throughout so inexplicable to reason and common sense that, were it not for the marriage certificate, my friends would imagine that I . was gone mad on the point.—Believe me, dear sir,, je youhn it yours sincerely Taylor, eerrelyoblig Esq., " T. YELVERTON. , 54, Chancery-lane, London. `i Please address, under -cover, to Mrs. Thelwall, 5, Albany street, Edinburgh." Among the many rumours afloat in regard to Major Yelverton, the Cork Herald gives currency to the following : "We are informed that Major Yelverton was transacting business yesterday in this city. It is rumoured that both he and Mrs. (Forbes) Yelverton sailed from Queenstown yester day for America." CRIME 1N FRANCE. The Court of Assizes of the Marne was three days ago occupied with a painful case—the trial of a widow named Denis, of Poix, for the murder of her mother, aged eighty-two. This old woman, it appeared, some years back, made over to her daugh ter and the latter's husband all that she possessed, on the condition that they should board and lodge her, and give her 100 fr. a-year for life. But, as generally happens in such cases, the couple soon found the old woman an intolerable burden to them, and they did not hesitate to express wishes to see her dead. The daughter was even more hostile than her husband, and treated the poor creature shamefully, and even on some occasions driving her through the village with cries and blows as if she was a horse. On the 28th Nov. last the prisoner told her neighbours that her mother had died in the night, and when they went to the house they were surprised to find the old woman not only dead, but in a shroud. "It was I who put her in the shroud !" said the prisoner, and she and her husband wanted to have a coffin procured and the burial to take place at once. But medical men were sent for, and they examined the de ceased ; they found that she had been murdered by violent pressure on the mouth and nostrils, and from bruises on different ?arts of her person. They came to the conclusion that two persons must have been engaged in the perpetration of the crime, one holding her whilst the other caused suf focation. Now the only two persons in the house who could have killed her or have had any motive for killing her were Denis and his wife, and they were arrested. They made admissions which left no doubt of their guilt, and besides, a few days after, the man committed suicide in prison. When the preceding circumstances had been proved, a little boy, son of the accused, was examined, and said without emotion, " I remember the night in which my grandmother died! My father awoke me, and said, ' Get up, we are about to kill your grandmother !' I was terrified, and crept under the clothes ! My father threatened to strike me if I did not rise, but I continued under the clothes. I then heard a noise, and peeping out, I saw my father and mother struggling, with my grand mother, whose bed was in the same room as mine. My father knelt on her breast, and my mother held her legs. She only struggled a little, and then became quite still I She was dead ! ' " How could you see all that P" asked the president. " Had they a light?" " No; but the moon was shining brightly ?" The jury declared the woman guilty, and the Court condemned her to death. Although it is premature to speculate on any dis position of the vast property left by the late Duke of Sutherland, yet we believe there was an understanding, when the Duke purchased the estate of Cliefden, near Maidenhead, ostensibly for the use of the Marquis and Marchioness of Stafford, that it was really intended for the Duchess, in case she should be the survivor. The late Duke proved the personalty alone of his father, the first Duke, at under a million sterling.—Court Journal.

Yesterday Mr, John Spain, the gentleman who was examined at the Lambeth police-court on Saturday, on the charge of having caused the death of Mrs. Caroline Spain, his daughter-in-law, by administering to her some narcotic poison, was re examined at the above court. Mr. Humphreys attended as his solicitor. The first witness called was Mr. Wheeler, a sur geon, residiug at-No. 17, Clayton-place, Kenning ton-road, who deposed that he was present at the post-mortem examination of Mrs. Caroline Spain, by Mr. Heath, of Westminster Hospital, on the day before. On opening the skull and cutting into the brain a large clot of blood was found in the right ventricle of the brain, filling the whole cavity and pressing on a portion of the brain itself, and which caused insensibility. It was the cause •f death, which took place from apoplexy. The stomach was healthy, there were no traces what ever of poison in it, nor was there the slightest smell of spirits of any kind from it, and it was quite apparent that death had taken place from apoplexy, which might have been occasioned by sudden joy at seeing a friend, or by long continued sorrow, or depression and excitement following. On discovering the clot of blood on the brain as de scribed, Mr. Heath said, " This does away with all your poisoning." • Mr. Norton—Was Mr. Nott present at the post mortem P Mr. Wheeler—Ho was, sir. Mr. Norton—And did he quite agree with you and the other gentleman as to the cause of death, and its being the result of apoplexy ? Mr. Wheeler—Yes, I think ho did. _ _ Mr. Wm. Francis Nott was next called, and the evidence given by him on Saturday having been read over, he said he had since attended the post mortem examination of the deceased, and his opinion was that she died of apoplexy—decidedly so. in cross-examination by Mr. Humphreys he said he had detected no smell from the breath of the deceased, though very likely he should expect to find a smell from the breath of a person who had taken narcotic poison. The' deceased had vomited on her clothes, and it produced no smell. He stated on oath on Saturday—on that oath which had been read over to him—he stated that it was his opinion the deceased died from the effects of narcotic poison. In cases of opium the medical attendant generally expects a smell. Mr. Humphreys—What is your age? Mr. Not t—Fifty-n ine. M r.Hu ug m r p e h e r n e s y ; Humphreys—Are you a member of t he Col lege of s car M ie r s"-- registered as a Kir. h N a o ll t . t—Yes, but not a licentiate of Apothe caries'-hall. Humhreys—Are you _ e Friday last, long? ge A o: lrr ,.. a N da m e ett—y m e s b. Humphreys—Howe o f th e h College of Surgeons ? A 111 11 ....

Now there is This being all the evidence, with the exception of Inspector Dann stating that he had found the paper to which Mr. Spain alluded on h St the house of the deceased, ias:escipaeYcted at Mr. Humphreys complained in terms of some indignation of the treatment to which client had been subjected. Mr. Norton—Then all that remains for me is again to express my deep regret at what has oc curred, and pronounce Mr. Spain wholly innocent of the charge— as innocent as l am myself, and therefore he is discharg e d. Mr. Spain then left the court, accompanied by his friends.
