COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood.) TRAVER V. LISTER-JUDGMENT. The contention in this case arises out of extensive bill transactions between the mercantile firm of Enoch Thayer and Company of America, and Thayer and Company, merchants, in Liverpool, It was agreed that each firm should discharge their own liabilities by drawing bills of exchange on eaoh other. On 17th February, 1857, Enoch Thayer and company sent two bills of exchange to Thayer and company of Liverpool —one for £5,000 and the other for £3,ooo—to pay their acceptances for £7,779. Messrs. Thayer and Company deposited these bills with Mr. Lister, the officer of the Union Bank of Liverpool, in secu rity of general advances. The question raised was whether Thayer and company of Liverpool were bound specifically to apply the two bills of exchange for £B,OOO in payment of the liabilities of Enoch Thayer and company for £7,779. His Honour the Vice- Chancellor was of opinion that, as to this matter, Thayer and Company, of Liverpool, were not partners, but only the mere agents of Enoch Thayer and Company, of America, and it was their duty specifically to apply the two bills of exchange for £B,OOO in payment of their liabilities for £7,779 in terms of their letter of the 17th of February, 1857, and directed Mr. Lister to pay the money into court. His Honour also directed an inquiry to ascertain the liabilities of the companies inter se—to take an account of balances due, with interest at 4 per cent—to tax costs—and the costs of suit to follow the result of inquiry. The balances due to be paid within 14 days from the date of the chief clerk's certificate ascertaining such balance. THE EARL OF SHREWSBURY V. LEVIL. This is an appeal from an order of Vice-Chancellor Wood, refusing an injunction to restrain the defendant from negotiating four bills of exchange. Mr. Wilcox, Q.C., is now being heard for the defendent COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before Barons Martin, Channell, and Wilde.) ARREST OF THE DEPUTY CORONER. Mr. Huddlestone this day, about one o'clock, made rather a novel application to the Court, on the part of Mr. Brent, the deputy coroner. This morning, while in the actual performance of his official duties, Mr. Brent was proceeding towards Westminster for the purpose of arranging an inquest, when he was arrested by a sheriff's officer on a judgment debt. The deputy coroner claimed the privilege of exemption from arrest when so engaged, and he, therefore, applied to the Court to order that Mr. Brent be discharged from custody. The Court, after looking through the authorities cited by the learned counsel, ordered Mr. Brent to be discharged, as they were of opinion that while in the actual performance of his duty he was exempt from civil process. The sheriff's officer said he was liable to an action if such was the decision of the Court. The Court said all they had to do was to order the dis charge of the deputy coroner, and it did so accord ingly. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) WAY LAN V. WAYMIN. This was a petition presented by Sarah Wayman for dis solution of marriage with Thomas Wayman on the ground of adultery and desertion. The parties were married in 1351, and in about 12 months after the respondent deserted his wife and went to America in company with another woman named Sarah Hern, where he had continued to reside ever since. Dr. Spinks appeared for the petitioner; the respondent was not represexted by counsel. Mary Ann Youngman said—ln 1849 I knew both parties previous to their marriage. I was present at their wedding which was celebrated in the city of London, I saw Thomas Wayman some time after in the year 1851. I saw him at Cambridge. He said that he hated his wife very much and that he should go to America and take another lady with him. I did not know the lady as he did not mention her name. I afterwards saw him walking with a lady, and he then told me that was the person, ho was going to take with him to America. Sarah Wayman—l am the daughter of Robert Hard • wick, a farmer, in Cambridge. lam the petitioner in this suit. I was married to the respondent in 1849. After the wedding we lived for some time at my fathers house at Hardwicke. My husband kept a farm, in conjunction with his brother, at Gurton. He used to remain there three days in the week, and remain with me the other three days. I lived at my father's house till 1851. Wayman used to visit me there, but not very frequently. He used generally to stop with me about a month. He told me before he left England that he was bond fur Mr. Youngman, and that he should' have to leave England for a short time. He said after he had settled the business of Mr. Youngman he would take a house, and we should live together. He went away ; he did not tell me where he was going, but he said his brother would let me know where he was. I some time after he had left me made inquiries about him, but I have never seen him since 1851, and Waymon has never contributed to my support. I received a letter from the respondent in 1859. Ann Wayman, sister of respondent, said—My brother told me he was going to America about eight years ago. He did not toll me he was going to take a lady with him. Mary Ann Vern—l know Sarah Ilern ; she i s th e s i ster of my husband. She li ve d in 1851 in Cambridge. She was intimate with a gentleman named Dodson. I know Thomas Wayman. I have frequently seen him at her house. I saw him at Christmas. He remained there a week. They lived together as man and wife. It is nine years ago. I saw Thomas Wayman about nine years ago. I have not seen either of them since. I did 120 4 „ know of his intention to go to America. Joseph Kenny, a shoemaker, residing at Cambridge, said—l was at Lockport, in Arneric,,, in 1858. I saw Thomas Wayman there. I knew aim previously. There was a female living with him Hern. 'as his wife. It was Sarah Rule nisi granted va4.',"l, costs. ALDRI :d V. ALDRIDGE AND DATIIONT. This was a • ,_ • petition of the husband, James Aldridge, for a di ' s°lll 'n of marriage, on the ground of his wife's adul•• w;4 _ . ..ti the co. respondent. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. Coleridge appeared for the petitioner, and Dr. Spinks for the respondent. The marriage having been proved to have been solem nised in 1851, Jane Rule was called. She said—l was living as servant with Mrs. Aldridge at South Brent in 1859. Mr. Aldridge, a purser in the Royal Navy, was at sea. In October, No vember, and December I saw M. Daymontat my mistress's house. He appeared very intimate with Airs. Aldridge. He had offices in Plymouth, and he used to arrive by train at about eight o'clock. He did not stop long. I recollect once he took supper and slept at South Brent. Mr. Al dridge returned home from sea in December. Mrs. Al dridge gave directions for a bed being prepared for him. On the occasion of Mr. Dayment supping there, I don't recollect what time he went to bed. I left him and Mrs. Aldridge up. I saw him there the next morning, I saw him coming out of his room. After Mr. Aldridge came home he came to live at Camera Cottage. Mr. Dayment called once after that in the day-time and once in the night. time. I saw him on that occasion at the back part of the house. He put ss. into my hand that night. Susan Morton—l was housekeeper to Mr. and Mrs. Dayment. They lived at Higher Sutton. He was an architect in Plymouth. He used to go backwards and forwards to South Brent daily. I was in Mr% Dayment's service before Mr. J. M. Aldridge went to sea. In the latter part of 1859, before Mr. Aldridge returned home I did not know there was anything wrong between Mr. Dayment and Mrs. Aldridge. On the 9th of January following I saw Mr. Dayment at his office. He told me Mrs. Aldridge was coming to Sutton and I was to prepare a bed. They arrived about eight o'clock. She occupied the room I had prepared for her. Mrs. Dayment was then in London. On the day following I went to Plymouth. I spoke to Mr. Dayment after he brought Mrs. Aldridge home. I told him I would not stop in the house if Mrs. Aldridge remained. He said he did not see any impropriety in my stopping, but if I wished to leave I could. I did so on the next day. Eliza Jane Bolton—l am sister to Mrs. Aldridge. I live near Tiverton. In 1859 I learned my sister had left her home, and was living in Mr. Dayment's house. I wrote to her, and she came to see me. While she was stopping at my house she used to write to Mr. Dayment eveay other day. She used to receive letters from him. Mr. Prance was my sister's attorney. Cn the 7th of April last I recollect my sister packing up her things in order to leave Tiverton for Exeter. As she was about to leave my father and myself prevented her from going. Just at this time she gave us a telegraph message, and begged us to let her go. At first she said she was going to see Mr, Prance, but afterwards she admitted it was Mr. Dayment she was going to. My father told her to send a message to Dayment, telling him that he would not let her come. She promised she would go back to Bristol, but she shortly after left the place with Mr. Dayment. I saw Payment before she left, but I did not speak to him. I advised her not to trust herself with him. Bhe told me she was geing to speak to him for the last time. They remained in conversation about 20 minutes. I met her as she came back. I asked hei if all was over, and she said 1 am only going to deliver up these letters, and I shall be back in a few minutes. I never saw her after that ; I don't know where she now is. Mr. G. Randle proved the handwaiting of Mr. Dayment to certain letters. He served the citation in this cause dpon Mr. Dayment and Mrs. Aldridge. They were taking their breakfast together at Mr. Dayment's house. Mr. Dayment was well known in Plymouth, but he had now sold everything and left the place. Mrs. Dayment is sup posed to be living in London. Mr. William Payn said Mrs. Dayment was his sister, and he had to support her since she had been deserted by her husband. She had received nothing from Mr. Day ment. Dr. Spinks contended that the case for the petitioner had not been clearly established. Throughout the evidence there was no proof that adultery had been committed. The Judge Ordinary said the letters taiien into the evi- deuce he thought made out a case in which adultery had been committed. He should grant a rule Nisi. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE DAVIES AND CO.-THE SHOREDITCH BANK FAILURE. To-day was appointed for the examination meeting in the matter of these bankrupts, known as the Shoreditch bankers. The court was, as upon former occasions, very much crowded. Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, stated that the accounts had been filed; bnt, in deference to the wishes of the creditors, it was deemed expedient and necessary that they should be thoroughly investigated. For this purpose the services of the experienced accountants, Messrs. Hart Brothers and Hayles, had been retained, and those gentle men had not had sufficient time to complete their examina tion. Under these circumstances an adjournment was ne cessary. Mr. Lawrence, on behalf of the bankrupt, did not oppose the application, and the examination was adjourned till the 14th of March, at 11 o'clock, by which time Messrs. Hart ' Brothers and Myles informed the Court they would be fully prepared with the report. POLICE IN7ELLI6IENCE—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE OWNER WANTED FOR A W RITING DESK.—Alfred Henberger, 1, Child's-place, Hendon, general dealer, was charged before Mr. Beadon with being in possession of a large inlaid pearl rosewood writing desk, supposed to have been stolen. Sergeant Walter Holmes, 3 F, sail that on the previous night, about nine o'clock, he was with Ackrell, 49 F, both in plain clothes, in White Lion-street, Seven Dials, when he saw tho prisoner come out of a public-house, the resort of suspected characters, and put something into a cart. He asked what it was he put in the cart, and on his taking it out he said he bought it of a Jew in Dudley-street, and gave Bs. for it ; but, in answer to his questions, would give no further information. He (Holmes) had every reason to believe it had been stolen, as the lock had been torn off. It bore the name inside--" Keith, Burlington Arcade, and Pimlico." Prisoner said he bought it of a Jew in Dudley-street, who wanted 9s. for it, but he gave him Ss., and he took it into the house to ask the people to look at it. Mr. Beadon said he would remand the prisoner for the attendance of the Jew. Prisoner--Can't you take bail ? Mr. Beadon—Produce the Jew. The prisoner was then remanded for a week, there being strong reason to believe that he has been at the court before on a similar charge. 'PORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER, MONDAY. The Grand National Steeple Chase again occupied the most prominent position in the day's proceedings, and bids fair to be a good sporting race. 20 to 1 each was taken about Anatis and Tattler, and was also taken and would have been taken to more money against Freshman and The Emperor, but 100 to 6 was offered on the field, and that price might have been had against either Gold smith, Xanthus, Freshman, or The Emperor.—Dundee appears firmer for the Derby, offers to take 11 to 2 meet ing with no response. 15 to 1 was offered against Big Ben; and Dictator was supported at 25 to I.—The near approach of the day for the declaration of acceptances for the Chester Cup causes both parties to be rather shy. 25 to 1 was offered on the field, and there were offers to take 28 to 1 agst Chere Arnie, and 100 to 3 about The Lawyer, but nothing was booked that came under our notice .

A few days since about 500 tons of earth fell in the quarries occupied by Kr. J. Phillips and Mrs. Tarrant. Fortunately no person was working there at the time, and we are pleased to be able to say that the damage done was confined to the breaking of a few tools.— Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard.

The return of an actor who has achieved high celebrity in his profession to the very stage which was the scene of his early triumphs, and on which he may be said to have laid the foundation of his future fame, is an event not dis similar in character to the visit which a soldier who has passed victoriously through many campaigns might make to the battle-field on which he won his first laurels. Viewed in this light the reappearance of Mr. Charles Kean upon the boards of Drury-lane Theatre, after an absence of 18 eventful years, will be admitted to be an occurrence of no common interest and importance; and that it has been so regarded by the public there was last night abundant evi dence, as well in the aspect of the house itself as in that of the adjoining locality. The house was a sight of itself, and a curious and characteristic one, crammed, not crowded, as it was, from the floor to the roof-tree with an attentive and sympathetic audience, whose zealous interest in the performance appeared to make them wholly insensi • ble to the inconveniences attendant on extreme heat and excessive pressure. Tier above tier, from the first circle to the giddy eminence where the "gods" abide, the galleries were swarming with spectators, and in the pit there was a sea of swaying forms and eager faces which must have been a glorious spectacle for the eyes of a manager. The play performed on this interesting occasion by " her Majesty's servants," as the asters at this establishment are privileged to style themselves, was the tragedy of "Hamlet," with Mr. Charles Kean in the character of the Prince, and Mrs. Charles Kean in that of Queen Gertrude. Both artists were received with unbounded enthusiasm. No language can do justice to the fervour of their reception. When first they came out upon the stage the pit "rose at them"—to use the famous phrase of the elder Kean—and hats and handkerchiefs were waved rapturously in the air. Mr. C. Kean having played Hamlet before British audiences not only some hundreds, but literally some thousands, of times in the course of his prosperous career, a description at this hour of the day of a performance with which both town and country have been so long and so favourably familiar would be little better than a ridiculous superfluity—and the critic's office is therefore limited en the present occasion to the simple duty of placing an inte resting event upon record, and of describing the sentiments which it has awakened in the public mind. It will suffice to say that of the excellence of Mr. Kean's performance there can be no higher proof than is comprised in the facts that, though it has no longer the advantage of novelty, it is always played to full houses, and still, as ever, evokes the most cordial applause; nor can there be better evidence of the tragedian's great abilities than is furnished by the cir cumstance that, of all his parts, the most popular is that which exacts the highest order of histrionic genius, Hamlet being by eommon consent the most arduous character to represent in the whole range of English drama. To Mrs. Kean belongs the praise of having raised to dignity a character which heretofore, even in the hands of the most illustrious artists, was but of trivial importance. Her splendid acting in the part of Gertrude is universally admired, and it has seldom been seen to greater advantage than last night. The play was in other respects very effi ciently supported, the more important of the subordinate characters being sustained with spirit and judgment by various members of the old Princess's company. At the conclusion of the tragedy Mr. and Mrs. C. Kean were called before the curtain amid manifestations of applause as enthusiastic and general as those which had greeted their first appearance. ROYAL GEOGRAPRICAL SOCIETY. A meeting of the members of the Royal Geogra phical Society was held last evening at Burlington House ; Lord Ashburton occupied the chair, and there was a very numerous and fashionable attend ance. The usual formal business of confirming minutes, electing members, &c., having been per formed, The CHAIRMAN said the subject with which they had .this evening to deal was the North Atlantic Telegraph ; it was one so interesting that he should not detain them with any observations himself. It was a matter upon which such a society could look without any of those feelings of jealousy which might operate in the minds of other persons who were desirous of supporting some particular route. Sir Leopold M'Clintock then read a paper on the surveys of her Majesty's ship Bulldog of the deep seas on the route of the projected North Atlantic Telegraph. He said—ln compliance with a re quest from the promoters of the North Atlantic Telegraph route, her Majesty's Government dis patched the Bulldog under his command, on the Ist July last, with orders to ascertain the depth of the ocean, and the nature of the bottom, between the Faroe Islands and Iceland, Iceland and Green land, and between Greenland and Hamilton Inlet on the Labrador coast. Although his visit to the Faroe Islands was not for the purpose of making any examination of their shores, yet he could not fail to observe that a submarine cable, in connection with the main island, and a land wire across it, could be maintained with great ease. Having referred to many details as to the Faroes and the soundings between them and Iceland, which he argued showed there was a safe bed whereon to lay the cable, he stated that the telegraphic wires could, with perfect ease and safety, be taken on shore at Bern Fiord and be carried over this island. He proposed that it should be submerged again at Fluge Bay, and carried to the south coast of Greenland. Between these points the depths generally were very regular, the greatest being 1,572 fathoms, and situated in mid channel ; but when within 40 miles of Green land the depth decreased from 806 fathoms to 228 fathoms, in the short distance of 31 geographi cal miles. The nature of the bottom was chiefly oaze, that is, fine mud, partly consisting of minute organic remains. He was unable to get within 45 miles of Greenland, owing to the ice, and proceeded on his way to Hamilton's Inlet, Labrador. Their line of soundings taken en route showed that the greatest depth—which was in mid-channel—was 2,032 fathoms ; and the decrease was very gradual until within about 80 miles of Labrador, where there was a change from about 900 fathoms to 150 fathoms in seven or eight miles. The ocean bed consisted of oaze, but with fewer microscopic organisms than previously met with, whilst the average temperature of the sea at 100 fathoms below the surface was 40 degrees. He then pro ceeded at some length to describe the characteristics of Hamilton's Inlet, at Labrador, which he was not able to say were such as to render it suitable above the Narrows for the reception of the termination of the cable. Having completed his labours on the coast of Labrador, he returned to Green land to do that which the ice had pre viously prevented him doing, having made a variety of soundings, the result of which he minutely detailed. He gave it as his opinion that once in deep water, the North Atlantic cable would probably be more secure and more durable than any other; as it would lie at the bottom of a sea where the temperature is unusually low, and where animal life is proportionately rare. All that was necessary was to secure a safe landing place at Labrador, which could easily be done, and he was further of opinion that with regard to the practica bility of laying a North Atlantic cable, there were no grounds for serious misgivings ; on the contrary, nearly all the information which had so far been ascertained was of a kind favourable to the accom plishment of the undertaking. He concluded by ob serving that in order to meet the ever varying cir cumstances of climate and weather it was necessary the utmost caution should be observed in all matters connected with the laying down of the Greenland lengths of the great cable; that the most suitable steamers should be selected, and the highest engineering and nautical skill be employed. Mr. Rae then made a statement (his paper being too long to read, it then being late in the evening) as to the projected route over the Faroe Isles and Iceland. He gave a very amusing account of his journey through those islands. He described the travelling on ponies as by no means difficult or unpleasant, and the people he found on all occasions hospitable, honest, industrious, and intelligent. Meat was exceedingly cheap, lamb selling for ltd. a pound. The only produce of Iceland, however, was potatoes, turnips, cabbages, &c., but no grain. The people seemed fully to understand the advantages of having a telegraphic communica tion, and he believed it would be quite practicable, from what he had seen, to carry the wires through the Faroe Islands and Iceland. Mr. S. W. Taylor, a resident of Greenland for the past seven years, read a paper which described minutely the most important fiords of Greenland. The Chairman pointed out that they had now to hear a few words on the practical part of the sub ject, for the details they heard would have little interest, unless they in some way affected human sympathy or human interest. Colonel Shaffner thenread a paper on the electric circuits as practically applied to commercia tele graphy. Having explained the apparatus, ha l t sated that the respective circuits of the North Atlantic Telegraph would be within the bounds of known practicabilities' an d they had no reason to expect other than the f u llest success and the attainment of a calculated celerity. The distances the current would have to travel were—from Scotland to the Fames, 225 miles ; across the Faroe Islands, 27 miles; thence to Iceland, 250 miles; to Greenland, 800 miles; and to Labrador finally, 510 miles. By mea ns of a temporary tel egrap hi c apparatus fixed round the hall Col. Shaffner illustrated his obser vations. The further consideration of the question was ;hen adjourned till the next meeting. Sir Robert Peel, Bart., has become a subscriber of £lOO to the funds of the Staffordshire Rifle Volunteer Association, requesting that it may be regarded as four years' subscription at £25, with a view to the Paulanence of the association.
