COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) ATKINSON V. ATKINSON. This was a petition presented by the wife against her husband for dissolution of marriage on the ground of adul tery and cruelty. From the evidence it appeared the parties resided at Kirby, and very shortly after marriage the husband com menced ill •using and threatening to "do " for his wife. On one occasion, after a quarrel, the wife discovered a razor under the pillow in the bed in which theyused to sleep. The husband ultimately deserted her, and since that time he had been known to cohabit with two women, each of whom he introduced as his wife. He had since the presentation of the petition gone to America. Rule nisi granted. GOLLOP Y. GOLLOP, This was a petition presented by Jesse Charlotte Gollop, praying for a dissolution of marriage, on the ground of adultery and cruelty. Dr. Deane said this case was one of a mc st flagrant nature. The husband, after marrying the respondent at the age of 16, proceeded very shortly after to treat her with the greatest brutality. She was the daughter of a clergyman, and the respondent was the son of a gentleman residing at Stood House, Dorsetehire. The specific acts of which she complained took place in the years 1854, 1856, and 1857. During those years, not content with ill-using his wife, if the evidence was true, it would be seen he used their apart ments as a common brothel; and while his wife was confined to her bedroom, he actually committed adul tery with the washerwoman in the butler's pantry. When the citation was served the respondent did not deny the adultery, but he would not acknowledge the cruelty. While the petition was being' real over to him, he said he had been so greatly affected by the shock, the institution of the proceedings, and the disturbances in St. George's-in-the-East, that he had been compelled to enter the Roman Catholic Church. The Judge—l suppose he wanted to get absolution. The learned counsel then called the following witnesses : The brother of the petitioner proved that the marriage of his sister and respondent took place at the British Em bassy in 1852. Mary Ann White said—ln 1854 and 1855 I was living at Dorchester. I recollect Captain and Mrs. Gollop com ing to live in my motives house. A woman named Best was hired as cook to wait upon them. They remained at her mother's house about three or four months. Best waited on them for about six or seven weeks. Mrs. Gol lop was occasionally absent. Best was frequently in the captain's bedroom. I have known her to have been there for upwards of a quarter of an hour. I knew she was there alone with him. She was also with him in the drawing-room for half hours at a time. One morning, missing the woman for a longer time than usual I went to look for her, and I found she had been in the captain's room ever since she had taken in his breakfast. The woman was forbidden to continue her in timacy with Captain Gollop. She was eventually sent away. The captain said she should not go. The woman was, however, sent away, and very shortly after the cap tain left also. Mrs. Sarah White, mother of the last witness, said she noticed that the woman Beat was on too intimate terms with Captain Gollop. I know she was very often in his room. THE BISHOP OF ORLEANS. Edwin Edwards said—l was living as servant with Capt. Gollop, at Dorchester, while he was lodging at Mrs. White's. I know a servant was there Ramed Best. I know master committed adultery with her in the hall pas sage. It was in the evening about half past six or seven, in May, 1855. From Dorchester I went to Anglesey with Mr. and Mrs. Gollop. There was a garden at the back of the house in which they resided. There was a wall about four feet high that divided the houses. I have seen the captain commit adultery with a woman at the end of the gar den in the summer-house. There was a washerwoman used to call at our house. I havo seen him commit adultery with the washerwoman in the butler's pantry. The captain used to act very badly to his wife. 1 lived in his service nearly five years; he usually, during that time, ill-treated his wife. To be Pope in one's own dominions is, no doubt, a fine thing, and the Emperor of the French has in his own way commenced his imitation of Henry VIII. The most delicious power to an episcopal mind is probably that of excommunication ; so Napoleon has sent for bell, book, and candle, and solmenly passed sentence on a Bishop. It is not the redoubtable Prelate of Poitiers, whose compa rison of the Emperor and Empress to Pilate and his .wife is the happiest piece - of impudence that has amused the French people since they have been for bidden to satirize their rulers ; it is the Bishop of Orleans, a man of some learning, but as fana tical and intemperate as his brethren, and bolder than any of them, since he originated the war against the Government, and has carried it on with vigour ever since Napoleon gave the first signs of falling away from grace by recommending reforms to the Pope in 1858. The sword has long been hanging over M. Dupanloup's head, and now it has fallen. The Bishop is officially ostracized. No functionary in the department of the Loiret is to associate with the Church's chief pastor under pain of the Government's deepest displeasure. The Pre fect publishes a document which, if not as terrible in sound as the roll of maledictions which the Church pours forth on such occasions, is a genuine excommunication. The offence is, that "the attitude of the Bishop of Orleans appears by the clearest evidence as marked with political hostility." " The Bishop places himself in the field of political passions and offers himself as a rallying point for the discontented. These military similes must be taken to mean that the Government looks upon the quarrel between the Church and itself as having ended in open war, and that all further temporising is at an end. The first step, then, is to take away all official countenance from the offending Prelate. The functionaries are forbidden even to visit him. The sentiment of duty prevails over every other and indicates a new attitude." Even the Bishop's old friends must give him up. " Some persons, having had relations with the Prelate, hesitate to separate from him," but the Emperor's Government counts on their exclusive devotedness and cannot admit such hesitations. As an instance of interference with social life, this Circular of the Prefect of the Loiret is in structive. A mayor or an inspector of octroi now knows what is expected of him, as long as he holds office in that political edifice which Liberty is to crown. He has many advantages. He has a salary; he has a social position ; he can talk with the comfortable pride of prosperity about the virus of revolution and the necessity of defending society against hostile and blind passions. He has the con sciousness of belonging to the dominant party. If he be a functionary of the highest rank he may as pire to wear a piece of red riband at his button hole, and to excite the envy of all those virtuous Oppositionists who are incorruptible because no man bids for them. Sleek is the coat, full the stomach, easy the slumbers of the well-fed watchdog, who looks with disdain on the lean and hungry republican wolf, But the mark of the collar is about his neck. Rich Imperialist vine growers looking for a step in the Legion of Hon our,—humble clerks expecting the extra thousand francs which are to change a maintenance into a com petence, must all have the fear of the Prefect before their eyes, and place it also conspicuously before the eyes of their wives and daughters. The com pleteness of the servitude is evidenced by the incre dulity and wonder with which we cannot help re garding it. The whole Imperialist society of a de partment is forbidden to associate with the most highly placed personage in their neighbourhood, a prelate of the Church, and a leader of the most power ful party which now exists in France. Will they obey? It is possible that they will; for, if party feeling be dead, yet the study of self-interest is strong among officials of the Second Empire. " The Frenchman will give his life for his country—never his place," said one who knew them well. M. Du panloup may count on the averted eyes and the stammering, sheepish salutations of those who have been his friends for half his lifetime. By the Judge—Was Mrs. Gollop at home when this cir cumstance took place in the pantry ? Witness—Yes, my lord. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day). But, as taking an interest in the character of the French Emperor, we much wish we could see his object in suffering the publication of this singular manifesto. Mankind create ideals for themselves, and the popular, ideal of our ally's character is that he is a wise, crafty, pertinacious, inscrutable Prince. Posterity may not ratify this opinion. A few years may suffice to over,throw it among ourselves. Two great Sovereigns of our day have outlived their reputation. Louis Philippe went off in a flacre from the Tuileries in 1818; Nicholas lost army, navy, fortresses, protectorates, diplomatic influence, dynastic prestige, a few years later. But for the present it is pleasant to refer all that Napoleon 111. does tc some faculty with which the popular voice has endowed him. We do not want it to be proved by able criticism that Hamlet was short and stout, with light hair and rosy cheeks. It is not our conception, and we reject it with that intellectual obstinacy which goes by the name of faith. So, we must believe that in banishing the Bishop of Orleans from official society the Emperor has in view some far-seen object. But what it is it is not easy to discern. One must know little of provincial France who thinks that a Bishop is dependent on official fav our, or that socially he cares a straw for the smiles of Prefects and their satellites. Far from needing social support, he is in a position to afford it. The France of country towns and dull agricultural villages is a realm where clerical influence reigns supreme. The Church has suffered too much to be unpopular. It has satisfied with its blood the animosities of its old enemies. The priests ars too poor to be envied, too earnest to be sneered at, too humbly born to be hated by the multitude. In the little towns where the same families have existed since the Middle Ages, and where everybody but the young gentleman just returned from Paris for his vacation fasts rigidly on Friday, and gathers his knowledge of men and things from the Monde newspaper, the strength of the Bishops and their 40,000 priests lies. And not only these, but the great people of the province, whenever they deign to visit their terres, are eccle siastical to the last degree. It is a mark of high fashion now to uphold the Pope and everything connected with him, while to advocate the views of Piedmont and England is commonplace and vulgar. The Government has consequently made the Bishop of Orleans more than the pivot of hostile demonstra tions. Nothing could be more fortunate for the Church than a little easy martyrdom, and the Bishop will take care that it shallnot be wanting.-, Times THE WEATHER. METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS.

On Wednesday afternoon an inquest was held before Dr. Birt Davies, at the Grand Turk, Lud gate-hill, Birmingham, on the body of James Will cox, by trade a pearl button maker, 39 years of age, residing in Sheep-street, who received severe injuries whilst poaching at Erdington, on the 16th instant, and died in consequence, at the General Hospital,. Mr. W. S. Perkins, clerk to the county magis trates, appeared to watch the proceedings on behalf of John Palmer, an officer belonging to the Warwick county constabulary; and Mr. Reeves for the friends of the deceased. The first witness called was Sarah Willcox, who said that the deceased was her husband. He left home well on Saturday afternoon, the 16th, in com pany with a man named Charles Bailey, in order to catch some birds that had been ordered by a party. The deceased and Bailey had on three previous occasions been out on a similar errand. The next morning she saw the deceased at the General Hos pital. He appeared to be injured, and was in an insensible state. He continued unconscious until his death, which occurred on the 18th. Charles Bailey, after being cautioned by the coroner, deposed that about five o'clock on Saturday afternoon he called for the deceased, at his own house, and they walked to Bromford and back. They had about three quarts of beer each at the Royal Exchange, at the top of the Rocky-lane. About 11 o'clock they proceeded to a field belong ing to Squire Wheelwright, in the hamlet of' Erdington, in search of a few larks. They caught a lark and another bird, and were about walking out of the field, when a man ran up to the deceased and struck him a violent blow on the head, which knocked him down. Witness walked away, but heard the man " laying on" the deceased. He then proceeded home, but before doing so he went and informed the deceased's wife of the circumstance. He would not know the man that struck the de ceased again. Neither of them had any weapon in his hands. Witness added that the deceased was carrying a net at the time he was struck, for the purpose of catching the birds. Police-constable John Palmer said that on the night of the 16th he was on duty near Mr. Wheel wright's farm, when he heard a number of sheep bleating. Suspecting that there was something wrong he immediately proceeded across a field, and had proceeded about 50 yards over another meadow when he saw the figure of a man about 20 yards in advance. He " flashed" his lantern, and the man ran away. He was, however, stopped by a young Newfoundland dog that accompanied witness, and proved to be the deceased. Witness caught hold of him, and a severe struggle occurred between them, during which time the deceased called for help to a companion, who replied, "Put it into him." On hearing this witness succeeded in obtaining possession of a loaded cane he carried with him, and which he had dropped during the encounter, and commenced to defend himself with it from the blows the deceased and his companion attempted to give him with two sticks. Witness struck several times with the cane, and at length the deceased fell to the ground, and the other man immediately made off. He examined the deceased, and finding him to be bleeding he sent for a surgeon, and with assistance conveyed him to the Birming ham General Hospital. Two witnesses were then called, who produced a large clasp knife and a stick the deceased carried. Mr. Goodall, house surgeon at the above institu tion, proved the admission of the deceased to the hospital about four o'clock on Sunday morning. He was then quite insensible; had a wound on the left parietal bone, and a compound fracture of that bone, through which the substance of the brain was escaping. He continued in an unconscious state until Monday afternoon, when he expired from the effects of the injury. After death witness found a circular aperture in the parietal bone about an inch square, and the bone from the aperture was deeply embedded in the brain. The coroner summed up the evidence at some length, and the jury, after half an hour's delibera tion, returned a.verdict of homicide in self-defence. EXECUTION IN FRANCE.—The man 13gurgois, who was condemned to death last month by the 'Court of Assizes of the Seine, for the murder at Courbevoie of M. Davin, a watchmaker, underwent hi's sentence yesterday morning. At an early hour he was informed that his last hour was come, and he received the announcement with great calmness. After the ceremony of the toilette had been gone through, he walked with firmness from the prison to the scaffold, and thanking the chaplain for his attention, delivered himself into the hands of the executioners.

ROYAL ASSENT. The following bills received the Royal assent :—The Con solidated Fund (£4,000,000), the Inclosure, the Bank of England Payments, and the Red Sea and Indian Telegraph bills. The Lords' Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Argyle, and Earl St. Germans. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. INDIAN FINANCE The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH asked if the Govern ment would lay en the table a copy of the last financial despatch which had been received from India ? Earl DE GREY and RIPON said it would not be con venient to produce the report at the present moment. It formed one of a series of despatches, which it was intended very shortly to lay before Paliament, and it, would not be advisable that the documents referred to by the noble earl opposite should be now produced separately. In reply to further observations from the Earl of Ellenborough, the noble lord said that the series of despatches mentioned would contain ample information connected with Indian railways, and he thought the documents would be ready in about three weeks. Lord MONTEAGLE thought it was important that the documents should speedily be produced, and it would also be convenient if such returns were annually laid before Parliament, although that system was not now the practice. SYRIA. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE said he wished to ask a question of the noble lord oppo site with respect to Syria. The conference at Paris had lately had under its consideration a subject of very great importance, and had decided on the continu ance of the occupation of Syria by French troops. This decision was of the utmost importance, and it was also not favourable to the wishes of this country, and could hardly be palatable to the Turkish Government. He should like to know whether the Government would have any objec tion to lay the papers connected with the Conference before Parliament. Lord WODEHOUSE said it was quite correct that a convention had been signed for the occupation of Syria by the French troops until the sth of June. The papers alluded to would be laid before Parliament the first day on re-assembling after Easter. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH asked whether the Government had received any further information than the telegram that had appeared on Tuesday last, stating that Holstein had refused the proposition o f the King of Den mark ? Lord WODEHOUSE said the last telegram was to the effect the noble earl bad stated ; but he believed a committee had been appointed by the States to consider the propositions and that it had been advised to reject them. He under stood that a discussion was still gcing on in the States on the subject, but he thought it probable that the report of the committe would bo adopted. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : --Macclesfield Gas, Metropolitan Railway (Improvements, 4kc.), Dartmouth and Torbay Railway, and Portsea Gas. SUITORS' FUND IN CHANCERY. Lord ST. LEONARDS drew the attention of the house to some correspondence connected with the funds of the suitors of the Court of Chancery. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tms EVENING).

The Biddenden Road Bill, changed from Biddenden and Stockershead Roads; Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds Railway Bill, and South Shields Improvements and Quay Bill, were considered and ordered for third reading. ROYAL COMMISSION, The Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod summoned the members to the upper house to hear the Royal assent given by commission to several bills, for which see Lords' report. HER ALVES l'Y'S REPLY TO THE ADDRESS OF CONDOLENCE ON THE DEATH OF THE DUCHESS OF KENT. Lord BURY, Treasurer of the Royal Household, appeared at the bar of the house, and presented her Majesty's reply to the address on the death of the Duchess of Kent, which was as follows :—" I thank you for your loyal and dutiful address and for your expression of condolence on the death of my beloved mother, and for your interest in everything that concerns me and my family, which is most grateful to my feelings." PETITIONS Several petitions were presented complaining of the pres sure of the income-tax, and praying for relief from the im post ; against the Parochial Assessment Act ; for the adoption of sanitary improvements; in favour of the borough franchise, from Leeds, signed by 7,000 persons; against the total abolition of church-rates • in favour of measures for the better observanse of the Sabbath. LANDGUARD POINT (SAND DEPOSIT). Captain JERVIS move I an address for copies of memo rials to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty by the Corporations of Harwich and Ipswich, dated the Bth of October, 1860, and the 14th day of March, 1861, respecting the increase of sand deposit at Landguarel Point ; and replies thereto : of letters from the Trinity Board, dated the 25th day of October, 1858, and the 10th day of October, 1860, on the same subject ; and re plies thereto; of letter from Captain Jervis and Colonel Rowley, dated the 18th day of February 1861, on the same subject, and reply thereto; and, of any memorandums or minutes by the hydrographer of the navy on the same sub ject—Ordered. ARMY. Col3nel LINDSAY moved for an address for a return of the names of those officers of the army who were promoted to the rank of colonel for distinguished service in the field during the war in the East in 1855 and 1856, who, previous to such promotion, were junior lieutenant colonels to Colonel De Rottenburg; showing the date when each of them were gazetted to the rank of colonel, and the numerical position which each of them held in the list of colonels (omitting officers who had not served six years as regimental field officers), before the revision of the list by the Royal Warrant of the 14th day of October, 1858, and also their numerical position after such revision.—Ordered. POST OFFICE (MONEY ORDER OFFICES). Sir H. WILLOUGHBY moved for a return of all losses and defalcations, if any, that have occurred in the money order offices of the General Post-office in the.

The Oxford crew have had a trial with eight of the London watermen from Mortlake to Putney. The Watermen crew consisted of the following :—IL Phelps, G. Driver, F. Kelly, T. Mackinney, J. Mackinney. T. Pocock, G. Hamraerton, H. Kelly (stroke), and Jbohn Phelps, coxswain. The Watermen were given a start of a boat's length and a half, but before Hammersmith Bridge was reached the Oxford overhauled them, and, after a spirited contest, they reached Putney aqueduct a length in advance of the watermen. In the event of fine calm weather to-morrow, a splendid race is anticipated. We have j*st heard that the umpire's boat will leave London-bridge to-morrow morning at eight, instead of ten o'clock, as hitherto fixed. TON.-LORD PALMERSTON. Mr. BRAND moved that the Speaker do issue his warrant for the election of a member for the borough of Tiverton, vacant by the acceptance of the Constableship of Dover Castle and the Wardenship of the Cinque Ports by the Right Hon. Lord Palmerston. (Laughter.) The writ was ordered. THE BUDGET. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that as there might be some misunderstanding in consequence of the statement he made the other evening, to the effect that he would make his financial statement about the 11th of next month, he wished to say that it was definitively fixed that he would make that statement on the 15th of next month. BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY (STAMP DUTY). The report of the committee on the resolution relative to the stamp duty was brought up. Mr. CRAWFORD said that several representations had been made to him during the day on the subject of this duty, and he thought if the amount were reduced from 7a. to ss. upon every £lOO it would give great satisfaction. He thought it would be very desirable if the bon. and learned gentle man, the Attorney-General, would give an assurance that if the amount realised by this duty exceeded his expectation, the amount would be lowered. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the bill pro vided for a financial statement being laid before the house every year, and if it should be found that the stamp duty should prove more productive than he expected, it would afford him great pleasure to propose a reduction. He would move in committee the substitution of 6s. for 75. as the latter amount was introduced by mistake. The report was then agreed to. BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENC ir BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, and the following amendedresolution, in conformity with the state ment of the Attorney-General, was agreed to. Clause 201, page 52, line 20, leave out all after" computed," and insert " at the rate of 7s.upon every hundred pounds or fraction of au hundred pounds, of the sworn or certified value, of the estate or effects comprised in, or to be collected or distri buted under, such deed or instrument ; provided that the maximum of ad valorem duty payable in respect of any such deed or instrument shall be £200." The resolution was agreed to, and the bill was ordered t be printed and read a third time on the Bth proximo. The house then resumed. SALMON FISHERIES. Mr. FENWICK drew the attention of the house to the report of the committee appointed to inquire into the fisheries of England and Wales, and urged the necessity of adopting the recommendations of that committee. THE " KOSSUTH NOTES." Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Secretar;thoef KStaostesuftohr the Home Department how Sir Richard Mayne bebanle possessed of, and who translated for him, upon which he Note," ma nu f acture d b y t h e M essrs . Day, gave Sir Richard Mayne instru ctions; and whether th e said note w as th e same that was afterwards exhibited by Count Apponyi in the Court of Chancery ? Sir G. C. LEWIS, having repeated some of the state ments he had made on a previous occasion, said he under stood that nothing had occurred in consequence of the interview that had taken place between Mr. Day and Sir R. n t state e than m beeno Mayne since the statement he (Sir G po . s L se . ss L e e d w o i f s o ) n h e a o d f made these to the house. Sir R. Mayne became ht o( ns brought efivnecrt t ley o m, op him on the b he d y e notes in consequenc iec ei d f sh it e a dm h t a so v y i sn a policemaonf, Sir r d authority policemen, or other persons, to watch the proceedings of M. Kossuth, and that he knew nothing chant thz2ss. until the one in question was brought to him. There was no person in Sir Richard Mayne's office that could trans late Hungarian, and the note was accordingly taken to the Foreign-office when the document was translated. At one of the interviews which had taken place be tween Mr. Day and Sir Richard Mayne, the former stated that he - acted under legal advice, and he (Sir G. Lewis) acquitted him of any blame. The Go vernment felt bound to submit the note to the Austrian Go vernment,and he referred to the authorityof Lord Lyndhurst and other learned lords to show that any person committing what might be calculated to embroil this country with foreign nations w as gu ilty o f a m i s d emeanour. H e there fore felt bound to refer the question to the law advisers of the Crown, who considered that the prcceedings in regard to the publication of these notes were illegal, but they did not advise any indictment or other legal proceedings to be adopted in respect to them. SALMON FISHERIES. Sir G. C. LEWIS, in reply to the question put to him on this subject, said it was intended by the Government to introduce a bill to carry out the, recommendations of the committee after Easter. NAVAL AND MILITARY SERVICES IN CHINA. Sir S. NORTHCOTE called attention to the mode in which the vote of credit of £850,000 for naval and military services in China for the year 18 59-60 had b een d ea lt w i t h, and the importance of regulating the eystern of dealing with unemployed balances for the army and navy services.
