LAW INTELLI9ENCE.-(THIS DAY).II COURT OF DIVORCE (Before tie Lord Ordinary.) TAPP V. TAPP. This was a petition en the part of the wife against the respondent for a dissolution of marriage, on the ground of cruelty, desertion, and adultery. A number of witnesses having been examined, The Judge Ordinary eaid he thought the first plea had not been sufficiently prcred, but desertion had been esta blished, and as to the adultery there could be no doubt. He would, therefore, grant a rule nisi for dissolution. THIS DAPS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the local markets hold on Saturday Were fairly supplied with wheat; all kinds met a dull inquiry, and in some instances, prices were the turn in favour of buyers. Malting barley commanded full quotations, but other kinds were a dull inquiry. In the value of oats, beans, peas, and flour, no change took place. The Continental markets have beconie much less active for all kinds of preduce ; but in the United States, prices of wheat and flour are on the advance, with a good export trade to England. The arrivals of English produce up to our market, last week, were very limited. The imports from abroad amounted t 011,949 quarters of wheat, 110 barley, 1,280 oats, 1,655 rye, 1,820 beans, 2,170 peas, 16,440 linseed, 1,255 rapeseed, 225 sundry, 1,543 sacks, and 16,973 barrels of flour. Scarcely a sample of English wheat was on sale in to. day's market coastwise. By land-carriage, from Essex and Kent, the supply was rather on the increase, when compared with Monday last, but the general condition of the samples was very inferior. Some really fine dry samples changed hands at last week's quotations; other wise, the trade ruled dull, at a decline of 2s per quarter. The show of foreign wheat was seasonably good. All qualities, however, being held at quite previous rates. Sales progressed with great slowness, and late rates were with difficulty maintained. Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but net cheaper. A large fleet is still overdue. All descriptions of barley met a slow sale, yet there is no alteration to report in their value. We have to report a dull sale for malt, especially for brown qualities, at about last week's prices. There was a fair inquiry for oats, at fully late rates. Beans were dull, and ld per quarter cheaper. For peas there was a steady demand, and both grey and white parcels sold at full currencies. The flour trade was far from active. Country marks and American barrels were the turn cheaper. CVRRENCY PER IMPERTAL MEASVRB.

This was a petition on the part of William Stringer for the dissolution of his =triage with Susannah his wife, on the ground of adultery. The marriage took place in the year 1846, at St. John's Church, Waterloo-road, the issue of which was four children. During the cohabitation the witnesses stated that they appeared to live very happily, but about 1854 the respondent, in her answer to the peti tioner, stated that she had left her husband, William Stringer, in consequence of his uneven temper. That he (petitioner) would sit for six or seven days without speak ing. That he was in the habit of making causeless com plaints, that on account of his conduct she had threatened to leave him,when ho replied that it would be the best day's work she had done for some time. The separation took place in the year 1852, and ultimately Mrs. Stringer went to live with a Mr. Dixon Stringer, as his wife. The co respondent was no relati7e to the husband. Evidence having been given, the Judge Ordinary granted a rule nisi. SIAR V. SIMI. This was a petition for Ciasolution of marriage by the wife against the husband, on the ground of desertion, cruelty, and adultery. The respondent denied she adultery, and also the deser• tion without reasonable cause. Dr. Phillimore appeareE for petitioner; the respondent was not represented by coinsel. The learned counsel said the petition was presented by the wife, who, previous to her marriage, bore the name of Mason. The respondent vas a barrister, and, in the year 1843, the marriage between the parties was celebrated on the 4th April, at St. George's, Hanover-square, after which they proceeded to reside in China, Ceylon, France, and Belgium, and during the whole time the petitioner was treated with the greatest cruelty. Mrs. Sirr.—l am the petitioner in the case. I married, the respondent in 1843. In 1844 we proceeded to Hong Kong, as my husband procured the appointment as Consul at Shanghai. He afterwards proceeded to Ceylon as De puty Queen's Advocate. We returned to England im 1849. In 1851 we again went on the Continent. During our residence at Hong Kong my husband treated me with very great unkindness. It was accompanied with acts of violence. On the 4th of November 1857 we were residing at Ostend. I found the letter produced on the street door step. The letter was as follows : " Mary,—l have not seen the landlord. It is impossible to submit to the conduct you have adopted towards me. I have therefore left. It is now an irrevocable matter. " H. C. SUM." I have seen my husband but once since April, 1858, and then I met him by accident. He has never supplied me with any money since he left me. On the occasion when I saw my husband I entreated him not to force me into this court. I asked him to go with me to my trustees, but he refused, and handed me into my carriage, bowed, and left. By the Judge—l complained very much of my forced resklence on the continent, being away from every friend, but he made no other reply but reproach. As soon as we became known in any place my husband immediately left. My husband said I was fastidious—that other women could live out of England, and I could do the same if I choose. A number of letters were re ad,written by the respondent to the petitioner, in one of which he asked forgiveness of "his damnable and accursed brutality," also excusing his dis gusting habits at table, and also begging pardon for having struck her. John Ellis—l am a tailor. I reside in the Marylebone road. A gentleman came to me in 1858. He called him self Henry Charles Sirr. He took a furnished bedroom in my house. A female used to call upon him with messages and letters. At first she was not shown up to Mr. Sirr's bedroom, but shortly afterwards Mr. Sirr requested her to come up. She remained sometimes about an hour. In February, 1859, I became suspicious, and in May I thought the woman remained in the house all night. I watched and saw her leave the house the morning following her next visit. In a month or two afterwards some boxes arrived belonging to the female. I asked him whether she was his wife, but he said if he did not suit he could leave. The woman came in June and lived with Mr. Sirr till September as his wife. The case was proceeding when we went to press. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE LEOPOLD REDPATH.- THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY FRAUDS. This was a dividend meeting in the matter of this bank rupt, whose misappropriation of the funds of the Great Northern Railway Company led to his trial at the Old Bailey, and subsequent sentence to penal servitude. A dividend of ss. or 6s. in the pound has already been declared. It is intended in a few days to declare a further dividend of 25., and there is some property in India which, when realised, may prove favourable to the creditors. TN RE ABBOTT. This was an examination in the matter of the bankrupt, described as of Hanwell, undertaker. Mr. Brough (instructed by Messrs. Mason and Sturt) opposed for the assignees. It was alleged that the bankrupt kad made away with his property, and that the palls had been sold to a butcher, whose wife turned them into dresses for the children. Mr. Brough expressed his intention of reserving all questions for the certificate meeting, and it was expected that the bankrupt would pass. POLICE 1.N.7 ELLIgENCE—( This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON A PARALYSED MAN.—John Leary, an inmate of St. George's Workhouse, was charged with a ruffianly assault OR John Patfield, also an inmate of the house. The complainant, a poor paralysed man, said that on the previous morning, just after breakfast, the prisoner came up to him and told him to move from the place where he was in, and, because he could not move quick enough for him, the prisoner said, "If you don't move I'll give you something," and he then struck me two severe blows—one on the nose, and one on the head. The assault having been confirmed by another inmate of the house, Samuel Newson, Cartwright, one of the officers of the house, said the prisoner was a very bad fellow, and had been guilty of several assaults, and was once charged with knocking a poor old man's teeth down his throat, Mr. Beadon asked the officer whether he had any reason to suppose the prisoner was not right in bis head, and having received an answer that there was no reason to sup pose anything of the kind, after some remarks on the prisoner's conduct, fined the prisoner £5, or two months. SAVAGE ASSAULT WITH A HAMMER.—Henry Wise, apprentice to Mr. Smith, engineer, of 69, Princes-street, was charged before Mr. Beadon with committing a violent assault on another young man in the same employ, by striking him on the head with a heavy hammer. The complainant said that about nine that morning he was in the top shop of the works fixing up a shelf, when the defendant came up and asked for the hammer he was using, when he told him he could not spare it. On this the prisoner tried to wrench it out of his hand, and having done so, struck him two blows on the head with the ham mer, rendering him nearly insensible, cutting his head severely, and causing great loss of blood. The defendant then went down stairs and left him. The defendant said there was a scuffle, and the com plainant was struck by accident. Robert Crane, pattern maker, in the same employ, was called, and proved seeing a scuffle between the complainant and defendant, but his evidence, given reluctantly, only went to show that the complainant was struck. Another witness was called, and he said that all he knew was that " somehow or the other" the complainant was struck. Mr. Beadon said that any one could see that complainant had been struck a severe blow with a heavy hammer, and fined the defendant £3, or one month. THAMES. STEALING SUGAR IN TILE WEST INDIA DOCK.—Three foreign seamen, named Christian Sansum, Hunrick Brick man, and Hannah Matthes, were brought before Mr. Yardley charged with stealing sugar in the West India Import Dock. A dock watchman, named Thomas Cook, said that he saw prisoners yesterday evening in the Import Dock, about 50 yards from the gate, proceeding towards their ships. Sansum was carrying a handkerchief containing 101bs. of sugar; Brickman, a handkerchief with 4lbs. of sugar; and the third,'Matthes, a handkerchief containing 11b. of sugar. There was a hogshead of sugar, with a canvas cap over it, on the quay. There was a hole in the canvas. The sugar in the handkerchiefs corresponded with that taken from the prisoners. Mr. Yardley'said it was too much the practice for foreign seamen in this port to plunder the hogsheads of sugar in the dock, and he should make some very severe examples if the practice was not discontinued. He sentenced Sansum to pay a fine of 405., and the others 20s. each. AN OLD ACTRESS IN THE WoßKnousE.—The oldest female in the Blackburn Workhouse, born in. 1772, is named Miss Ann Mainley, who for upwards of 50 years delighted the busy thousands assembled at the country fairs, she having been an actress at Mr. Wild's traN theatre during that long period. The old lady is co; gort ably housed, and well taken care of, METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 306. In the corresponding week in 1860 we received 2,310—in 1859, 573—in 1858, 787—in 1857, 1,239—in 1856, 916—and in 1855, 1,362 head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WEEK. Beasts. Sheep. Lambs. Calves. Pigs.

The supply of other kinds of foreign stock was limited. From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts, fresh up this morning, were very moderate, but, on the whole, of full average weight. The primest Scots, crosses, kc., were in good request, at an advance in quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81bs—the top figure being ss—otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. From the eastern districts we received about 1,000 Scots and short horns ; from the northern, 800 short horns ; from other parts of England, 400 various breeds ; from Scotland 90 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 120 oxen. The show of all breeds of sheep was very limited. On the whole there was an improved feeling in the mutton trade, at an advance in the quotations of 2d per Sibs. The general top price was 6s per Blbs. The quality of the sheep was by no means prime. We were scantily supplied with both English and foreign calves, which commanded a steady inquiry, at full curren cies. Pigs were in short supply, and sluggish request, at last week's currency.

A little boy of the name of Falls was lately taken before the Tribunal of Correctional Police on the charge of vagabondage, but it was proved it was no fault of his own that he had committed the offence, his master having sent him away because he had no work to give him, and his father having compelled him to leave home by cruel ill treatment, The Empress having learned the circumstances of the case, has hindly forwarded a sum of 20fr. to the Pre sident of the Tribunal for the use of the poor lad. DEATH OF MDLLE.

A letter from Rotterdam, dated Jan. 15, says :—. If the distress of the homeless poor in London is great at this inclement season, that of the inhabi tants of the district through which the river Waal wends its course to join the Maese is frightful to an extreme. In the beginning of January it was observed that the vast accumulations of snow in this district was causing the rise of the river to a dangerous extent. With anxiety and dread the inhabitants watched the daily increase of the in vading waters, Row laden with immense masses of ice, and strenuously exerted themselves to strengthen the resistance offered by those artificial barriers by which alone Holland is preserved from total submersion. But still the flood rose, and the ice -masses formed themselves, as it were, in huge battering-rams, pressing with irresistible strength against the dikes and dams. The sound of the church. bell, clear and ominous in the frosty air, kept telling the sad tale of imminent danger, and warning all who could labour to aid in the good cause, and those who could not to prepare for the worst. Higher and higher rose the . waters, and soon the surface of the ponderous shifting ice-masses stood within half an inch of the dike-level. Good God ! should it rise that half inch higher, their cottages, their cattle, their provisions, their all would become a prey to the unsparing havoc ! Then rose to heaven many a prayer for help—for mercy ! At last a bulging out in the dike directed the anxious gaze of all to one spot—for the waters were pressing hard upon it. With the strength and energy of despair they tried to stay the progress of the flood. as it sought egress from its narrow channel into their fields and dwellings. lerxes as well tried to bind the ocean in chains. Suddenly the dike yielded, and the waters poured through—the ice masses and the flood rose above it, and swept on in their terrific course, submerging fields, barns, and cottages, drowning the cattle, destroying all. The aged and the sick, the women and children, sought a refuge in their attics, where benumbed with cold, without bedding, clothes, fire, or provisions, they had to pass days of inexpressible terror—of horrible starvation. For a long time it was impossible to approach them, and it is feared. many a cottage has been swept away in the flood, and its inhabitants frozen to death on the ice-masses. One family of seven persons was rescued from the attic in whichthey had sought shelter, so thoroughly exhausted by cold and hunger that they could not even answer the questions of their deliverers. A. poor mother, with her infant, to which she had. given premature birth, was lying in bed in the bleak attic of her homely dwelling, while her hus band, from an aperture in the roof, sought, by cries and signals, to attract the attention of a few brave men, who at the imminent risk of their lives were endeavouring to make their way between the ice-blocks in order to rescue some of their perishing fellow-creatures from destruction. They went to the poor fellow's help, descended into the attic through the aperture in the roof, through which they returned, bringing with them the mother and her babe. It was time, for the waters had already risen to within two inches of her bed. The distress and alarm of these districts are great, for the evil may have only •commenced. Should a sudden thaw set in, or the wind blow fiercely from the north-west, God knows what additional misery and destruction will ensue. Sub scriptions are pouring in from liberal hands for the relief of the suffering thousands, cast by this calamity in penury on the world. But it will require the expenditure of large sums to provide for even their more pressing neces sities. Even as I write, fresh intelligence arrives from the inundated districts detailing additional scenes of wretchedness—people dying from cold and hunger ; their houses cut away by ice, as corn is mown down by the harvester's scythe; a church which. had stood hundreds of years swept down, as a puff of wind sweeps down a house ofcards; and the prospect is even yet more fearful. Holland has often suffered much from inundations, but never within the memory of living man has an inunda tion been accompanied with so much distress and destruction—with so much heartrending grief and despair. A VICTIM TO REGULATION. We report to-day the proceedings at . a coroner's inquest, held in Belfast yesterday (Thursday), the details of which no right-minded man will read without a shock of painful feeling. If indignation be superadded to pain, it will do no discredit to the reader's humanity. _ _ Mary Moore, a poor woman in Abbey-stre e t was seized with the pangs of labour at midnight on Tuesday. Her daughter went for a midwife, who saw on her arrival that the case demanded instant medical aid, and sent off as fast as possible for a doctor. The woman's daughter went to Dr. Beck, of North-street, and saw his son, " Have you the money on you ?" (to pay the fee) said that person. The answer being in the negative, the rejoinder was, " Well, we cannot go." Instantly the girl went to Dr. Johnston's, in Donegall-street, but that gentleman, a dispensary doctor, was from home. Next door lived Dr. Halliday, another of the dispensary doctors. He was called up, and told that there was a woman " bad in labour," in Abbey street. This gentleman's reply was, that "he didn't go to a case of that kinddown of a gu i nea ." Th e girl ran on to Dr. Bryce's. He " didn't know whether that was his district or Dr. Halliday's." Again she went to Dr. Halliday, and was referred by him to Mr. Vance, the relieving-officer. But there was no relief for poor Mary Moore. The relieving officer " gave no lines' till half-past nine o'clock. Finding the doctors:deaf to her applica tions, the girl went to the Lying-in-Hospital, where she was told that her mother would be admitted, if brought up. For this purpose a car was required ; and the girl had but sixpence. Not a carman could she find to convey the suffering woman to the hospital for less than a shilling. And so the time wore on. At half-past nine the relieving officer issued his " lines," but, at ten o'clock, poor Mary Moore died in her mortal agony, and a second life died with her. In her sore travail she cried, " The Lord relieve me of my troubles," and the Lord, more merciful than dispensary officials, did not turn a deaf ear to her entreaty. Doctor Smyth examined the body after death, and testified that the woman would not have died if there had been medical attendance. Mary Moore has died in this prosperous and highly civilised community from a brutal neglect, which she would not have encountered in Kaffraria. Of course, there is no one to blame. The coroner, after hearing the evidence, " did not see there was any peason they could inculpate as being the cause of her death.' There is no law to compel the exercise of humanity, and no law, it would seem, to punish the want of it. James Moore may mourn for his wife and for his unborn babe, :but he must have consolation in the assurance that the lives of both were duly sacrificed according to law, and in strict compliance with parochial regulation and medical etiquette. Dr. Beck could not attend without his fee in advance ; Dr, Halliday couldn't go down of a guinea ; Dr. Bryce had his doubts as to the boundaries of his district; Mr. Vance could not issue his " lines" before the regulation hour;, the'cab fare to the Lying-in-Hospital is indubita bly a shilling, and no cabman is bound to take less than his faro, though human lives depend on it: And, therefore, a woman in her hour of mortal auguish—in that hour which se ntimentalists idly brute eh a therebea beast imagine to constitute the high est a pp eal to m an's tsowiler as being the sympathy and aid—must die as no ! w is o n u e ld e b n e e al w lo h w e e m d t w o e pe c r a i n sh,b, inculpate i cause of her death." God help the p oor Can there be nothing done to avert the recur rence of such shocking cases as this? This ours has wealth a n d pu b l i c institu tions b o ards of poor law an d comm ittees o f c harity ; churches by the dozen and town • of clergymen by the hundred ; and yet the Mary Moores of the community die like dogs in a kennel, under circumstances that might make every man among us blush to bear the name. Surely there is some horrible error in our systemslof relief when a case like this can happen. Surely our public and professional men can so regulate that we shall never again have such another outrage on our civi lisation as the miserable death of this wretched victim to regulations.—Northern Wlszg. A suspension, which it is hoped and believed will prove only temporary, took place on Saturday of one of the oldest and most respectable firms in the Levant trade —Messrs. Francis Ede, Son, and Co. Their liabilities are supposed to range between £250,000 and £400,000, but an impression prevails that in the courso of a day or two arrangements may be effected by which all engagements will be provided for. The difficulty is understood to have arisen mainly from the means of the firm being at this period of high rates of discount locked up to some extent in the local loans to the Turkish Government on the security of Customs' duties, which come in slowly.—Times. DREADFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—As the Cowes and Portsmouth steam-packet Emerald was on her passage from Cowes to Portsmouth, on Saturday afternoon, Captain Barratt, of the Royal Yacht Squadron yacht Zouave, belonging to Richard Arabin, Esq., who had been drinking too freely, when off Norris Castle made a lurch, and fell through the skylight over the engine into the machinery, and was in a moment crushed to pieces. Nis remains were sewn up in a blanket and landed at Ryde, where he has a wife and large family of children. The engineer was in the engine-room at the time, and, seeing the unfortunate man fall through, s topped the engine , almost at the instant, but too late— o no horrible crash, and all was over. i
