(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood, PETITION FOR JIIDGMENT.-IN RE ADAMS. The testator, by his will, devised his lands of Farmhall and several other pieces of land in the parish of Ware to trustees for the uses of his trust. The trustees sold the lands, and there was a surplus over after paying his debts, and the question raised was to whom did the residue belong. His - Honour the Vice-Chancellor referred to the decision by Lord Eldon in the case of White v. Bennett, 2 and 4 Russell, as an authority in point, and came to the conclu sion that the surplus price belonged to the person to whom the lands of Farmhall were originally devised, after the uses of the trust were satisfied, and that the lands in the parish of Ware were only subsidiary or auxiliary lands to supply the wants of the trust in the event of the lands of Farmhall being insufficient, and declared accordingly, with costs of all parties properly incurred out of the estate. COURT OF DIVORCE (Before the Judge Ordinary.) RY vas V. ATTORNEY-GENERAL. This case was adjourned on Monday last for the production of the original register of baptism, at St. Nicholas Church, Liverpool. The lady, who conducts her case in person, claims to be a niece of George 111., and prays the court to pronounce her the legitimate daughter of John Thomas Serres and Olive, his wife. The Judge Ordinary, addressing the lady, said he was sorry to inform her that the gentleman refuses to permit the book required to leave his custody for a single hour. He had no objection to attend the court if subpoenaed. Mrs. Ryves—l am quite prepared to pay the expenses of the gentleman's attendance. The judge Ordinary—Very well. You can have a subpoena, which can be transmitted to Liverpool this even ing by post, and the gentleman can be in attendance on Thursday. Mrs. Ryves—l feel mush obliged for your kindness. I will despatch the messenger immediately. GURNEY T. GURNEY AND TAYLOR. This was a petition presented by John Henry Gurney for dissolution of his marriage with Mary Geary Gurney, on the ground of adultery with the co-respondent Taylor. An answer had been put in by the respondent and co respondent denying the adultery. The Solicitor-General, Dr. Waddelove, and Mr. Crouch appeared for the petitioner, and Mr. Manesby and Dr. Spinks appeared for Mrs. Gurney. The co-respondent was not represented by counsel. The Solicitor• General, in opening the ease, said the petitioner in this suit was John Henry Gurney, a gentle man of wealth and influence, and one of a large banking firm earrying on business at Norwich and other places. He was also one of the representatives of the borough of King's Lynn in Parliament. The parties were married at All Souls' in June, 1846. Mr. Gurney was then of the age of 26, and the lady was at the time about 16 or 17. At the death of the lady's mother she became possessed of a large private fortune. The country house of Mr. Gurney was at Tatton Hall, near Norwich, and the town residence was at Kensington Palace Gardens. The co-respondent was a person named William Taylor, who was in the employ of Mr. Gurney as footman, and so continued for about the space of three years, when he was dismissed from his ser vice, and the elopment took place a very short time after— via., Tuesday, Dec. 13, 1859. The lady, previous to her separation from her husband, however, wrote and left the following letter : "My poor Husband,—l have left you and the poor chil dren, but you know my heart has long been another's, and I cannot be happy with you any longer. Pray send my luggage and small articles to 216, Marylebone-road. My God forgive me and preserve you and the poor child ren.—Your poor, miserable wife, " MARY GEARY GURNEY." The learned counsel then went through the circumstances of the residence of Mrs. Gurney with the co-respondent. The lady after quitting her husband's roof went to reside at a house in the Marylebone. road, the apartments having previously been engaged by Taylor. A Mr. Simpson, from Mr. Field's private information office in Devereux-court, in company with sotne of the servants, afterwards went there for the purpose of identifying Mrs. Gurney, in which they succeeded, when the respondent and co respondent left London for Folkestone en route to Paris. He should call evidence to prove that at both places they lived together as man and wife, and the evidence would be such as he felt certain would enable the court to grant the prayer of the petitioner. The following witnesses were then examined : Frederick Henry Bartlett—l produce a copy of the cero ficate of marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Gurney at All Souls Church in 1846. I have examined it with the original and found it correct. Henry Edmond Gurney—l am a partner in the firm of Overend, Gurney, and Co. lam petitioner's first cousin. He is a banker at Norwich. I was present at his marriage. I knew the parties before the ceremony. I was in the habit of visiting them. My wife also visited them occasionally. They appeared after marriage to live on very good terms. There are two children now living. Their ages are 13 or 14 and five. Thomas Whiteley—l am in the service of the petitioner as under butler. • I entered his employ on the 30th of May, 1859. I found William Tayor living there as footman. I remember that in November of that year I was at Tatton Hall, near Norwich. William Taylor left Mr. Gurney's employ on the 21st of that month. Mr. and Mrs. Gurney removed after that to their town residence in Kensington palace-gardens, on the 12th of Deoember—a Monday. On the morning following, the 13th, Mrs. Gurney was not to be found in the house. I took the letter produced out of the letter-box. I knew the handwriting. It was Mrs. Gurney's. I gave it to Mr. Gurney. [The letter was the one read by the Solicitor-General, and given above.] I took the things to the Marylebone-road. I saw Mrs. Gurney at the window of the house 216. I went with a gentleman named Simpson to a hotel in Paris. I there saw Mrs. Gurney and William Taylor. I saw them both in a sitting room numbered 411. Thomas Mayhew—l am groom in the service of the peti tioner. I have been in Mr. Gurney's service about six years. William Taylor lived there as footman. I accom panied the family in a tour round the Isle of Wight in 1859. William Taylor was with us. We returned to Tatton Hall in the November of the same year. Taylor then left. I came up to town with the servants on the 14th of December, and Mrs. Gurney was not at the house in Kensington Palace-gardens. I accompanied the last wit ness to 216, Marylebone-road. Mrs. Gurney was asked for, and I saw her. Mr. Simpson was with me. After Mr. Simpson had turned his back I asked for William Taylor. I saw him. Mr. Simpson also saw Taylor. Mrs. Johnsworthy—l reside at 216, Marylebone-road. I let lodgings. I knew William Taylor; he is a connec tion of mine, but not a relative. He came to my house in December, 1859, to engage apartments. He said he wanted them for a lady and himself. He engaged them. A lady afterwards came ; it was on Tuesday, the 13th of Decem ber. William Taylor said he wanted apartments for a few nights for a lady who was going abroad. In the evening the lady said if some luggage came for Mrs. Gurney I was to take it in. The luggage came. They occupied the dining-room floor, and William Taylor had a bed on the top floor. They occupied the same sitting room. They took their meals together. No person visited them. I recollect a Mr. Simpsofi owning to lay house. They remained at my house about a week. They left together. I don't know where they went. John Simpson—l am principal assistant to Mr. Field, of Devereux-court, Strand. I recollect going to 216 Maryle bone-road. Messrs. Sharp and Mayhew went with me. I saw a lady there, and also a man. Mayhew was present when I saw both persons. On the 20th December following I went to Folkestone. On the 22d I saw the same persons there in the neighbourhood of the pier. I ascertained they were staying at the Pavilion Hotel. I went there and saw two chambermaids. I pointed the parties out to them. I afterwards went to Paris. I saw the same lady and gentle man at the Hotel Louvre. Ann Fowler—ln December, 1859, I was living at the Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone. I recollect a lady and gentle man coming there. Simpson pointed them out to me on the 20th of December. Those two persons had been living there until Friday the 23d. They occupied the same apart meats and the same bed, and lived together as man and wife. No questions were put to the witnesses by the counsel for Mrs. Gurney. The Attorney-General—That is the case, my lord. The Judge Ordinary—l think you have established your case. You can have a rule nisi. The Solicitor-General—l would ask your lordship to suspend the rule until the question of the settlements are disposed of. The Judge—As you please. The Solicitor-General —Then I formally ask the suspen sion of the rule until I know what the practice of the court The Judge Ordinary—There is no practice on the point. The question was : before me the other day, and no doubt you know what I said. It is most embarrassing that I should be called upon to decide a ques tion of settlements without any statement as to the facts. It is like navigating, as I said before, without either chart or compass, and I must say your client has not done much to assist me. He has presented a petition and a long statement without giving me an abstract. It would take hoitrs from me to go through the statement. It should have been properly done, and then I should know what the property of the wife really is. I must also know some thing about the property of the father before I decide the question. Under what section of the act do you proceed ? The Solicitor-General—Under the 45th section of the first act. The Judge-Ordinary—By that I may order such settle ments to be made out of the property for the innocent party and the children. That, of course, would depend upon the property the innocent party already possessed. It is a very difficult point. It is not before the court at present. I am not, therefore, prepared to decide anything without I have the elements before me. The Solicitor-General —The information shall be sup plied to the court. The rule was accordingly suspoxiclecl for a short time, POLICE INIELLIG.ENCE—(This Day), MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A COLONEL'S SERVANT.—Joseph Clive Walter, a private soldier, Wellington Barracks, and also servant to Colonel Henry Percival De Bathe, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, residing at 60, Piccadilly, was charged before Mr. Beadon, by Butcher, 137 as follows : Col. De Bathe said that he was in the habit of giving the postman who brought his letLers 55. every Christmas, and the prisoner, who was his s(Tvant, had charged him with it, but he afterwards discovt:red that he had not given the money to the man. He made, the discovery on the 12th January, on which night the prisoner got drunk, and had I ever since been under arrest. In answer to Mr. Beadon, the Colonel stated that he had also lost an enormous quantity of property—plate, clothes, &c., and had not been able to ascertain any trace of them, William James Uppleton, of 8, Delahay-street; West minster, district letter carrier, proved calling for the gratuity as usual. The prisoner had never paid him, stating that the Colonel had not given it to him, but asked him to wait. The Colonel said on the 12th, the day the prisoner was arrested, the prisoner got drunk and ran up a score of 78. at a publichouse, which he (the Colonel) had since paid the barman. He had given the prisoner that day £5 to pay for different articles. The prisoner, who has been in the regiment four years was remanded for a week. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALLS'—YESTERDAY.

LITERATURE' Political Ballads of the 'Seventeenth, and ..n:qhtaenth Centuries, Annotated. By W. Walker Wilkins. 2 vols. LcY ginan. The motto on the title page aptly illustrates this work. " More solid things do not show the com plexion of the times so well as ballads and libels." The publication of these volumes is matter of con gratulation to those desirous of acquainting them selves with these verses of a past age, which are of great significance in regard to their utterance of prevalent sentiments, and if they have now lost the pest which actual events gave, and the piquancy with whi c h personality endued them, as the satirists and satirized have alike passed away; they are still replete with interest. They speak through the medium of absurd jokes in some instances, and coarse allusions in many cases, but they are nerved with a power that more important writers could not always put into more solid compositions, that were to stand the test of critics high in authority, and yet fearful of being arraigned before the bar of public opinion. The immense influence that these songs exercise over social opinion is forcibly expressed in the well-known adage "If I were permitted to make the ballads of a nation I should not care who made its laws." In the preface there is an enter taining account of the various collections of ballads, and the scheme that the editor has generally adopted in the difficult task he has undertaken. It ' is said that " while every other department of literature has been thoroughly explored, amplified, and variously illustrated, our modern political songs and ballads, the best popular illustrations of history constitute the solitary exception to the general rule," and it is argued further on in the remarks, " There are, however, few compositions more interesting in themselves, or that offer more valuable material to the historical in quirer than these ephemeral produtcions, in the absence of these artless expressions our social history would be incomplete. They exhibit as well the manners and the feelings of past generations. The student, by looking nar rowly into them, may oftentimes be enabled to deduce most important conclusions respecting the origin and issue of former insurrections and fac tions, just in the same manner as the geologist who, detecting on the surface of the sedimentary rock the latest impression of some primeval storm, or the footpaths of races long extinct determines the course of the one and the character ofthe other." After quoting some pertinent observations of a writer on political literature, concerning the pri vileges and immunities of song writers, and hence the vast importance of their compositions during a period when tyranny represses the free expression of public opinion, the editor proceeds to remark on the attention paid to this sort of composition by a bright and shining star of literature. "The real value and importance of such ephemeral produc tions may be best discerned in the volumes of the late Lord Macaulay, the only native historian who has thought them worthy of his particular study and use. It is no disparagement to the literary fame of that distinguished writer to affirm that they have imparted to his pages a vitality which the profoundest knowledge of the principles of human action, combined with the greatest erudia tion and the highest descriptive powers could never have effected without them. It was from these long neglected picture-writings of great historical scenes, and of the celebrated individuals who are crowded in them, "in their habit as they lived," that he derived so much of all that related to the stirring times of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. To these despised and inexhaustible sources of information ho was principally indebted for his life-like delineations of character, for his descriptions of popular commotions, and not unfre quently for his knowledge of the motives by which public men were actuated, at particular conjunc tures, in their conduct." In conclusion, it is stated that it was the intention to include the political ballads of note in the reigns of the last two Georges, had not space prevented; but that should the present series meet with public approval, the re• mainder will be forthcoming at a future period. It is to be hoped that this will be the case, and con sidering the interest and importance of the contents of these volumes, and the skill with which their arrangements have beet executed, there is every reason to entertain the confident epectation that such will be the result. After au elaborate inves tigation into the musty folios of an earlier genera tion, it is but fair and just that the explorer should be rewarded by the weed of approving testimony from those for whom he has opened " the treasures of antiquity laid up in old historic scrolls." Some of the most striking or noticeable verses in the col lection are here quoted, and, at all events, they may serve to illustrate the. mode then in vogue of expressing approval or declaiming censure by the punsters and rhymesters of the day : THE ANARCHIE, OR THE BLESSED REFORMATION SINCE 1640. Now that, thanks to the Powers below, We have e'en done our do, The mitre is down, And so is the crown, And with them the coronet too ; Come clowns, and come boys, Come hober-de-hoys, Come females of each degree; Stretch your throats, bring in your votes, And make good theAnarchie. And thus it shall go, says Alice, Nay, thus it shall go, says Amy ; Nay, thus it shall go, says Taffy, I trow, Nay, thus it shall go, says Jamy. Ah I but the truth, good people all, The truth is such a thing, For it would undo, both Church and State too, And cut the throat of our king ; Yet not the Spirit, nor the new light, Can make this point so clear; But thou must bring out, thou deified rout, What thing the truth is, and where. Speak Abraham, speak Kester, speak Judith, speak Hester, Speak tag and rag, short coat and long; Truth's the spell made us rebel, And murder and plunder, ding-dong. Sure I have the truth, says Numph ; Nay, I ha' the truth, says Clemme ; Nay, I ha' the truth, says Reverend Ruth ; Nay, I ha' the truth, says Nem. THE NEW LITANT.

Ben‘dicat Dominus." THE TRIMMER. Pray lend me your ear, if you've any to spare, You that love Commonwealth as you hate Common Pray'r, Which can in a breath, pray, dissemble, and swear; Which nobody can deny, deny, Which nobody can deny. I'm first on the wrong side, and then on the right, To-day I'm a Jack, and to-morrow a mite, I for either King pray, but for neither dare fight ; Which, &T. Sometimes I'm a rebel, sometimes I'm a saint; Sometimes I can preach, and at other times cant ; There is nothing but grace I thank God that I want ; Which, &C. Old Babylon's whore, I cannot endure her; I'm a sanctified saint, there's none can be purer, For swearing I hate like any non-juror; Which, &c. Of our gracious King William I am a great lover, Yet I side with a party that prays for another; I'd drink the King's health, take it one way or , t . other ; hich, &c. Precisely I creep like a snail to the Meeting, Where sighing I sit ; and such sorrowful greeting lakes me hate a long prayer and two hours' prating IVhich, /cc. And then I sing psalms as cif neverweary, Yet I must co nfess when I m frolic and merry. More music I find in d Boat to the Ferry; Which, &C. I can pledge Wry health my Compan i ons d r i n k rou nd; I can ea " Heaven bless," or the Devil confound;" I can hold with the hare and run with the hound ; Which, &c. I can pray for a bishop, and curse an archdeacon ; I can seem very sorry that Charleroi's taken; I can say anything to save my own bacon; Which, &c. Sometimes for a good Commonwealth I am wishing—. 0 Oliver, Oliver, give us thy blessing 1 For in troubled waters now I love fishing; Which, &c. The times are so ticklish I vow and profess, I know not which party or cause to embrace, i I'll side with those to be suro that are least n distress ; Which, &c. With the Jacks I rejoice that Savoy's defeated ; With the Whigs I seem pleased he so bravely retreated ; Friends and foes are by me both equally treated ; &c• Each party, you see, is thus full of great hope, There are some for the Devil and some for the Pope, And I'm fur anything—but for a rope; Which nobody can deny. A BALLAD ON THE TAXES. Good people, what will you of all be bereft— Will you never learn wit while a penny is left? You ar© all like the dog in the fable betray'd, To let go the sub s t ance and snatch at the shade ; - With specious pretences, and Foreign expenses, We war for Religion, and waste all our chink, 'Tis nipt, and 'tis clipt , 'tis lent, and 'tis spent, Till 'tis gone, 'tis gone to the Devil I think. We pay for our new-born, we pay for our dead, We pay if we ' re s i ng l e, we pay if we're wed ; To show that our merciful senate don't fail, They begin at the head and tax down to the tail. 'We pay through the nose by subjecting foes, Yet for all our expenses get nothing but blows; At home we are cheated, abroad we're defeated, But the end o n 't, t h e end on't—the Lord above knows ! AN IMPERIAL SKATING PARTY. A Paris correspondent writes, under date of Saturday evening :—" Last night I had the luck to be present at a grand Court skating match by torchlight. In Paris the streets were muddy ; it was supposed a decided thaw bad set in, the ice on the lake in the Bois de Boulogne was pronounced unsafe--it was, as I ascertained myself, watery on the surface, and not a soul was to be seen upon it. But beyond the Longchamps race-course, and on the banks of the Seine; near M. de Rothschild's splendid villa, and just opposite Suresne, there is a meadow s t u dd e d w i t h pretty clumps of high trees, which was overflowed during the late floods, and which, although the thermometer had risen to a shade above zero, still presented a smooth coating of solid ice, there being scarcely any water under neath. At this spot the Emperor, with as much , secrecy as possible, had made a rendezvous for 10 o'clock at night. The great Godilot, undertaker of public rejoicings, hung the branches of the trees with hundreds of Chinese lanterns, and serving men, as num erous as those peasants who erst walked all night long up and down the ponds about the Royal palaces to prevent thefrogs from waking the Kings of France, promenaded the frozen meadow with lanterns fixed on their beads. Besides this constant illumination, there was an intermittent suc cession of Bengal fire and fizzing torches, whi c h lighted up the scene al giorno. A body of men in white blouses—a special ice police—formed a cordon round the field of operations, and kept off those who were uninvited, but the crowd of spectators, though considerable, consisted mainly of the inhabi - tants of St. Cloud, Suresne, and the neighbouring villages. The population of Paris knew nothing of the fete, and up to this hour neither the Illoniteur nor any other journal has said a word about it. As soon as the Emperor and the Court arrived the sport commenced in very business-like style. The Empress got into a sledge, and M. Hartogs, a Ger man gentleman, whose proficiency as a skater attracted the Imperial notice two years ago and who is now c all e d a t C ourt t h e Emperor's Aide-dc- Camp de glace, had the honour of pushing her Ma jesty on the ice. He took her along at railroad speed, and was out of sight of shore in less than a minute. The Empersr then put on his skates, and conducted the sledge of a lady whose name I could not learn. The Countess de Morny, enveloped in velvet and white furs, essayed her prowess, but was supported by two gentlemen, who gave her a hand on each side. The Princess Poniatowski went alorp , very well by herself. In a short space of time the ice was thickly studded with a host of chamberlains, generals, aides-de-camps, and even judges who had come with the Court party to join in the fashionable amusement of the hour. The notion of coming to skate in a thaw was highly ap proved, for the night was by no means cold. The Emperor and Empress remained on the ice till half past 11. This afternoon, the frost in the meantime having returned with considerable intensity, the sport was resumed by the Imperial party at the same spot. M. Hartogs gave the Empress a pro menade in a beautiful sledge, which was sent for by telegraph from Germany, and only arrived this morning. Afterwards her Majesty ventured to skate, but only with the assistance of two gentlemen. She is not at her ease upon the ice, and, considering that she comes from sunny Spain, this is not to be wondered at. The Emperor is a very good skater. He does not attempt any tours de force, but he is perfectly master of his move ments. His wont is to go along rather slowly, and he stops frequently to contemplate the animated scene around him. Not the least etiquette is ob served on the ice. No clear space is kept about the Emperor or Empress. They go about just like any body else, and to-day, unlike last evening, every body without exception was allowed to skate at the same time with them. The Emperor had nothing whatever but his own adroitness to prevent him from being knocked over by the first tyro in the sport whose skates might run away with him. It was an interesting sight to see the master of so many legions, the mighty potentate upon whose mysterious breath the fate of so many nations hangs, slipping about unpretentiously on the ice, no squire or even servant following him, and appa rently as much on an equality with the people about him as a carter is with a ploughman on an English farmyard pond. Once a young man, who saw the Emperor skating slowly along the middle of the lake steered almo s t i n di screetly close to him and gave him the go by, with the evident intention of getting credit with the spectators for being the best skater. The Emperor then, without any ap parent effort, increased his speed, gracefully dis tanced his opponent by a few yards, and, contented with his victory, resumed the steady pace which, as I said before, he seems to affect. The frost is severe to-night, and should it continue the rage for skating will attain extraordinary proportions. Happy the amateur who has a good pair of skates, for the manufacturers cannot make them fast enough. The lake in the Bois de Boulogne is again in capital order. RAILWAY AND OTHER BILLS IN PARHAM-ENT.
