MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. - - CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Bank of England return, completed to the 19th inst., shows some rather favourable features. The bullion, owing to the arrivals from Australia, exhibits a rather large increase, notwithstanding et the demand for shipments to New York. The re serve of no4es has also been augmented by about 0 half a million sterling, while a small diminution is at observable in the other securities. The public and private balances also show a considerable addition. The other items of the balance-sheet, and the changes they present, are as subjoined: — Active Circulation .. .. .. 19,184,870 Decrease .. • • • • • ' 159,220 st 12 Stock of Bullion .. .. .. ,395,793 st Increase .. .. .. • • 383,889 st Rest .. •• •• •• •• 3 , 245,994 st 9,388 Increase . .. • • 81 51 Public Deposits . .. •• 77 2 8 8 5 8 5 : G 13 3 g .. . • Increase ~ .. .. • • al 'Other Deposits • • • • • . 11,082,951 130,716 81 Increase .. _•• • •, • 558,848 sI Seven Day and other Bills .• .. 30,042 Decrease .. • • • • 9 888 607 st Gov er nment Securities .. • • / / st No alteration. st .. .. 19,721,896 st .

Tea has remained dull, etc e without change in price. .Sugars, however, fully sustained previous rates. Coffee has slightly de- at: elined, except for the better descriptions. In rice, spices, fruit, saltpetre, and tallow scarcely any 881; change can be recorded. btu A moderate amount of business was transacted 19. in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and 8,000 st bales were sold at, in some instances, easier prices. There - is less inquiry for money, and the favour able appearance of the Bank of England return has :1; created greater confidence among bill discounters, st and they h=o more disposed to negotiate commercial et securities, of which, however, the supply is corn- " paratively moderate, owing to the quietude of at , trade both here and on the Continent. st The Market for Public Securities has been very dull to-day, but although the tendency has been unfavourable, Consols have been tolerably steady st , at 891 for money, and 90 for the account. In st.! the New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced Annuities a limited business has been done—viz., at 891 v for 1 2 the former, and 89-,1 / for the latter. Bank Stock at! brought 231 ; India 5 per Cent. Loan 981 ; 1 „ ; India sr ! Debentures, 951- 961 ; and the June Exchequer Bills remained steady at 3s. prom: In the Foreign Stock Market business has been almost suspended, the only dealings recorded being g' in Brazilian 4 per Cent., 1860, at 861 87 ; Vene st zuela 3 per Cents. at 181 ; and Portuguese 3 per st , Cents. at 571 ; French 4A per Cents. were at 94 95; - Turkish 6 per Cents. are quoted 72 to 721 ; and the Loan of 1858-56, 56 to 561. The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been of a moderate character, but a heavy tone has prevailed. Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Western, and South Eastern, have declined 55., Great Northern, Brighton, Edinburgh, Perth, 8 ' and Dundee, and Midland, 10s. st The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have et, shown no material alteration. Great Luxemburg 2 declined 55., and Pacific and San Francisco, and 1 , Samber and Meuse brought former prices. Great Western of Canada have declined to 101 1, and g t o' East Indian have improved to 101. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares have continued dull. Union of London, however, have !, improved 10s. Ottoma* Bank, Crystal Palace, and Oriental Gas realised former prices. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

Besides the mails, she took out a fair number of passengers and £40,000 in gold on freight. 8 8 1 There have just been placed in the Zoological st Gardens at Marseilles eleven young ostriches, hatched in B the grounds of M. Pastre, at Mouredon. All previous at- 51 tempt s to hatch ostrich eggs in France had failed, and sue- a sl °ess in the present case is attributed to the old bird having s formed her nest on a dry sand soil quite apart, in a solitary s valley. The imehation lasted nearly forty days, and out of 13 eggs 11 produces y oung .

They also bring with them presents of great value for their Ma jesties, the most curious of which are the insignia and royal garments of Siam in the three positions attributed to royalty ; on the throne, on the palanquin, and on horse back ; like a royal crown set with precious stones, a collar in rubies, a royal girdle made of gold set with diamonds. THE MISSING MAIL STEAMER CANADIAN.—This steamer, now above eight days overdue with the mails from Quebec, had not (up to the time of our despatches being sent off from Liverpool yesterday) been heard of. Much anxiety has already been evinced for her safety, as it is ex pected she would have about 300 souls, including passen gers, on board. The general opinion, however, is that as the Canadian would be the first steamer to pass down the Straits of Bell Isle this season, she would probably find much difficulty in passing through, as the ice might cause great obstruction, possibly damaging the fan, and necessi tating a run for St. John's, for repairs, &c. The steamer North Briton, now due at Londonderry with the Canadian mails, is expected to bring some tidings of the missing teamer, as this vessel would also pass down the Straits of Belle Isle, should the ice permit of a safe passage. A question of considerable interest with reference to maritime works of national importance has arisen in con nexion with the " Harbours" Bill now before Parliament. This bill, as read a second time in the Commons, contained a clause for the transfer of Ramsgate Harbour to the Trinity House. That provision has since been altered by the sub stitution of the Board of Trade for the Trinity House, and a clause—the 42d—has been added, by which it is proposed to empower the former to transfer the harbour to any body of persons, corporate or uncorporate, who may have the authority of Parliament for the purpose ; the object being, as is understood, to transfer Ramsgate Harbour to the Lon don, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company. This is ob jected to as unsound in principle and also, among several special reasons, because the railway company would, by facilities afforded to their own vessels, be enabled to exclude other shipoi,vners. 3rday Right •ancer :ding ;s and Lutho• braises royal Mr. rposest übject short adings ferred of Coln• 1 of the riprove" Cheat at mar; chase 01 with the Ilys an d ,ditioneL ?urpose, : clauses on be' lg core' )f traffic onstren" r to be ;or, who the cora eed one- also to ensation re to the s by the 11 of the videniag Martin , Ir.

THIRD EDITION. Closing Price. Paid. Ittsineee done SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OP LORDS.—(Tins EVENING.) - - The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 4 o'clock. THE CONSOLIDATION OF THE STATUTES BILL. The LORD-CHANCELLOR made some observations relative to this bill, which were inaudible in the gallery. Lord BROUGHAM expressed his opinion that it was not advisable that legal bills should be discussed clause by clause in the House of Commons, considering that there was only a very small minority of members competent to deal with bills of that description. works, which had cost the trustees £2,000,000, could have been erected at a cost of £700,000. Mr. MOFFATT said Sir J. Rennie, in his evidence in the committee which sat some time ago, said if the works had had to be erected at the present time they could possibly have been carried out for zreo,ooo. It must be recollected that the works were commenced when the appliances which were at present in use were not in existence. Mr. MOFFATT said it was gratifying to hear that the funds transferred from the trustees of Ramsgate Harbour to the Government were to be used for keeping the works in efficient repair. Clauses 22 to 24 were agreed to as amended. Clause 25 was struck out. Clauses up to 31 were agreed to. Clause 32 was postponed in order to allow certain amend ments to be made with reference to limiting its operations with respect to Ramsgate harbour. Several verbal amendments were made in clause 33. Clauses 34 to 41 with amendments were agreed to. Clauses 42, 43, 41 were omitted. On clause 45 being read it was proposed to emit it and the following eight clauses, in order to make room for the following proposals :—From and after the first day of January, 1862, the Harbour of Dover and the soil thereof, and all property, real and personal, vested in the warden and assistants of Dover Harbour, or in any person in trust for the purposes of the said harbour, with their actual and reputed appurtenances, subject to all liabilities affecting the same, shall be transferred to, and vested in a board of trustees to be called the Dover Harbour Board. The said Dover Harbour Board shall consist of seven members, four of whom shall form a quorum; the said seven members shall be the Lord Warden for the time being of the Cinque Ports, who shall ex-officio be chairman of the said board, two burgesses of the borough of Dover elected by the town council every three years, and to be eligible for re-election, a member to be from time to time appointed by the Presi dent of the Board of Trade for the time being, a member to be from time to time appointed by the First Lord of the Admiralty for the time being, a member to be from time to time appointed by the South Eastern Railway Company, under their common seal, and a member to be from time to time appointed by the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, under their common seal ; and the said Lord Warden shall from time to time nominate, under his hand, one of the members of the said Board to behis deputy, to preside at all meetings at which the said Lord Warden shall not be present ; and in the event of an equality of votes at any meeting of the said Board, the chairman at such meeting shall be entitled to a casting vote : provided, that in the event of either or both of the said railway com panics failing or declining to appoint a member of the said Harbour Board within one calendar month after having been required so to do by the President of the Boat d of Trade, then such president shall, from and after such de fault, be entitled thereafter to appoint from time to time another member or members in lieu thereof, as the case may be. Mr. DEEDES protested against the manner in which Dover Harbour was proposed to be dealt with by the pre sent bill. He considered the changes proposed uncalled for, and the manner in which the subject had been introduced to the house he thought very irregular. He thought the Court of Assistants at Dover had been.treated very disre spectfully. Mr. GIBSON said when the bill was first introduced there existed no intention of interfering with Dover, but as the people at that place had petitioned to come within its provisions, alterations to carry these wishes into effect were made. He could assure the hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Deedes) there was not the slightest intention of treating in a slighting or disrespectful manner the Court of Assistants at Dover, who had conferred the greatest benefit on the town by their exertions. The clause was omitted. Clause 52 was ordered to stand part of the bill. Clauses 53 to 64 were agreed to. Clause 65 was postponed. Several new clauses were agreed to, amongst them those given above, constituting a new governing board for Dover Harbour. Mr. DEEDES and Lord LOVAINE strongly protested against the manner in which Dover had been dealt with by the present bill. Mr. THOMPSON moved the following additional clause to the bill :—" That on and after the first day of January, 1862, all vessels exceeding ten tons entering or leaving the harbour of Whitby shall pay to the trustees of Whitby Harbour such sum or toll, not exceeding one penny pet ton, as such trustees may from time to time direct to be paid to them, for the support, maintenance, and improvement of the existing or any future tide lights at the entrance of the harbour : Provided always, that any vessel which shall have paid such toll on entering the harbour may again leave the harbour without further payment of toll." The clause was agreed to and added to the bill. The preamble and schedules of the bill were then agreed to, and the chairman was ordered to report the bill. The house resumed and the sitting was suspended till 6 o'clock. The house resumed at 6 o'clock, and was [LEFT SITTING.] Larel Railways. 00 Atlantic &St Lawrence' k Bom.,Baroda&.Cent Ind Gu. 5 per cent.. 18 Do, Do. zoi Buffalo and Luce Huron 204 Do.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, who had given notice of a motion on the subject of the reduction of the Indian navy, now wished for some information as to what arrange. ments the Government proposed to adopt in order to meet the deficiency in the naval force that would be created. It was necessary this reduction should be supplied by her Ma jesty's ships, and he wished to know from what source the expense of meeting the deficiency would be supplied. The Duke of SOMERSET, having referred to the finan cial statement of Mr. Laing in support of the alteration which it was proposed to make, said that it was intended to charge the Indian Treasury with the expenses of the pro posed alteration. VOTE BY BALLOT. _ _ . Lord TEYNHAM presented a petition from the Society for Promoting the Adoption cf Vote by Ballot, setting forth that the experience of recent cases proved that the attempts to put in force the penal law for the purpose of pre, ventingcorrupt practices at elections byfine and imprisonment had entirely failed in accomplishing their object, and prayed that attention might be given to the recommendations of the witnesses examined before the select committee of the House of Commons in favour of the adoption of vote by PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time :—The Salis bury and Dorset Junction Railway, Southampton and Net ley Railway, :Stockport District Water, Bognor Railway, Kingstown Improvement, and New Ross Poit and Har bour. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Marlborough Railway, Barnsley Coal Railway, London and North-Western Railway (Eccles, Tyldesley, and Wigan), and the Trent, Ancholme, and Grimsby Railway. STANDING ORDERS. Lord REDESDALE moved that the standing order 185 (formerly 223) be considered, in order to its being amended by the insertion of a paragraph to the effect, that no provi sion authorising any company to raise money or subscribe towards a guarantee of money by the undertaking of any other company should be introduced into any bill which was not brought in by the company, thereby not authorised to raise money or to subscribe or to guarantee. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE objected to any measure that would tend to prevent the extension of rail way accommodation generally, feeling satisfied that the facilities of railways promoted the development of local traffic. He thought the matter should be left to private companies. Earl GRANVILLE said he felt bound to support the motion, and considered it was the duty of the house to simplify the operation of the railway system, and to reduce, as far as possible, the expenso attending the construction of railways. Some discussion ensued, in the course of which it was contended by noble lords that though some alteration in the existing system was necessary, still this motion went too far, and might operate very injuriously in checking railway enterprise. Lord REDESDALE said that he would not press the motion in its present form, but would introduce some modi fications to meet the objections of noble lords. The motion was then withdrawn. LLEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Birmingham Improvement Bill and the Great Southern and Western of Ireland (capital) Bill were read a third time and passed. Several other private bills were advanced a stage. THE HARBOURS BILL—RAMSGATE. On the house going into committee on this bill, Mr. M. GIBSON said it would be convenient if he were to make a short statement with respect to Ramsgate har bour. Nothing could be further from the intentions of the Government than proceeding with any steps relative b Ramsgate harbour under the provisions of this bill; he was therefore perfectly willing to agree to the omission of all portions of the bill touching that harbour. (Hear, hear.) When it was proposed to seek any power to deal with the harbour the parties would have to come openly and freely to Parliament, and he could assure the house that there would be no anticipation of a decision of Parlia ment by her Majesty's Government. (Hear, hear.) The house then went into committee. On clause 7, Mr. MILLER moved to add to the clause the following words :—" With the exception of the said dues leviable by tne Trinity corpornit... .t filo port of Leith. where such dues shall cease to be levied as sorm as provision shall have been made by sufficient accumulated funds for all annuities, pensions, and obligations which have been lawfully granted, or in which a vested interest, absolute or contingent, has been lawfully created before the 15th day of March, 1861." The hon. gentleman stated that such great objectionhad been felt at the manner in which the Trinity Corporation dis posed of its funds that the people of Leith resisted the pay ment of the tax by force. The result was that the corpora tion was obliged to procure an Act of Parliament, which was granted them for 20 years. The period happened to expire about this time ; the community of Leith were anxious that their case should be an exception to the gene ral arrangement which the Board of Trade had made with the Trinity Corporation. The clause was drawn up on liberal terms, and he hoped it would be agreed to. Mr. GIBSON resisted the proposal, which, after a short discussion, was withdrawn. The clause was agreed to. Clauses 8 and 9 were also agreed to. On clause 10, Mr. LINDSAY proposed to substitute " 1867" for 1872. Ihe first duty of the house was to koep down taxation, and they would be neglecting their duty if they allowed the parties to receive half a million of compensation before they were entitled to it. Mr. HORSFALL said it was a fallacy to suppose that anything was given to any parties which was not already theirs by right. _ _ _ Mr. BEAUMONT said the differential dues levied at Newcastle were secured not only by Acts of Parliament, but by grants made centuries ago, and he could see no ground for stopping them without compensation. Ten years was a very moderate period to fix for that purpose. After a few words from Mr. HODGSON and Mr. DUNLOP, Mr. Alderman SALOMON said his constituency were only interested in this question as taxpayers, and he should therefore support the bill, as it would relieve several bur dens that now pressed very heavily on the shipping trade. If the house delayed the passing of the bill it would only increase the claim for compensation. The real question for them to decide was, was ten years a sufficient time for that pur pose. He thought that it was, ariil he also thought that the Government deserved great praise for the great consi deration that had been given both to taxpayers and tax receivers. Colonel FRENCH was against compensation being given at all. Mr. BUCHANAN thought the compromise of the hon. member for Sunderland was a very liberal one, and ought to be accepted. Mr. LINDSAY said he should be neglecting his duty and also the interest of those industrious persons who had sent him to Parliament if he did not take the sense of the house on his amendment. After a few words from Sir F. GOLDSMID, The house then divided, when there appeared • For the amendment 2B Against l2B Ilajority The amendment was consequently negatived. Mr. CAVE then proposed that the following worts be added at the end of the clause :—" Provided, that in the case of any body of proprietors paying a dividend to share holders out of the profits made by them, or of any company paying a like dividend, or of any private individual entitled by reason of a private proprietary right, adequate compen sation shall be made in such manner as may be determined by arbitration or otherwise." He urged the necessity of making this amendment, and said that at Shoreham a large sum of money had been laid out in the improvement of the harbour on the strength of receiving the dues. He ap proved generally of the bill, and the 'addition he proposed was only what was required as a matter of justice. (Anuses up to z 1 were Lv. In reply to Mr. DELDES, Mr. M. GIBSON said he hoped the hon. gentleman would not press his amendment. He did not think that any special reason existed in favour of Shoreham, and therefore he thought they ought to come in to the 10 years compensation. The amendmentwaswithdrawn,audthe clause was agreed Mr. M. GIBSON said all the clauses giving the right to transfer Ramsgate Harbour to any company, railway or otherwise, had been withdrawn. The funds transferred to Government from Ramsgate would be used for the benefi of the harbour. Mr. MOFFATT thought that the management of Ramsgate harbour by the trustees had been highly effec tive. Mr. MITCHELL was of a different opinion. Mr. LIDDELL said with respect to the economy of the trustees of Ramsgate Harbour, it had been stated that the IMPORTATION OF GRAIN INTO FRANCE. (From the Gazette of this evening.)

SINGULAR RESULT OF A ClsE.—Two ASSAULTS BT A SOLDlER.,—Charles Stanley, a private in the Oxford Blues, Albany-street Barracks, Regent's-park, was charged before Mr. Yardley with assaulting Mr. William Thompson, of the Black Horse, Haymarket, and also with assaulting a person named John Warmington, who went to the assistance of Mr. Thompson. Warrington was not in attendance, it being stated that he was too unwell to appear. Mr. Thompson said—At one this morning I saw the prisoner drink something from a pewter measure, it having been served him by my barman. I told the prisoner to finish it and leave, as I had had enough of him six months ago, whenhe (prisoner) thrashed him with a stick. At the time there were others in the prisoner's company, consisting of Life Guards and Oxford Blues. I refused to serve the prisoner with any more to drink, when he said, " Why won't you serve me ? I've got money." I again refised, and the prisoner spat in my face, and, on my going round the counter with the intention of putting him out, he seized me by the throat. Warmington said, "Don't choke the landlord," and the prisoner and others got hold of Warrington and held him across a tub—one of the Life Guardsmen at the time having his jacket off. I then got out and went for the police, and gave the prisoner into custody. Warmingtoes face was dreadfully bruised, and his leg also. Mr. Yardley—Where is Warmington ? Mr. Thompson—He is not here, and I think he is too unwell this morning to attend. He went home with me after going to the station to enter the charge, and ba iuen complained of his leg. I gave him some blancly, and he left to go home. Prisoner—What the landlord says is not true. The land lord struck me first. Mr. Thompson—l never touched the prisoner. Lefler, 202 C, said, I was called to Mr. Thompson's house, and the prisoner was given into my custody for creat ing a disturbance, and for assaulting Mr. Thompson. The place was in great confusion. Warmington was on the floor, and a person was striking him. I told the prisoner he was given into custody for assaulting the landlord and creating a disturbance, and assaulting Warmington. Mr. Yardley—Did you see him strike the landlord ? Latler—No, your Worship. Mr. Yardley—Then why did yox take him into custody. You did not see him strike the landlord—you did not see any mark on the landlord—then why did you take him, The man is wrongfully in custody. He is discharged. Mr. Thompson—ls that all the protection that I am to have ? They are the worst class of men we have to deal with. Mr. Yardley—l am not going to argue the ease with you. The man is wrongfully in custody, and he is dis charged. The soldier, who is a tall and very powerful-looking man, bowed, and left the court evidently pleased at the result of the case. 21115 DAY'S SKIPPING.

THE PRESBYTERY OP DUNDEE. The further hearing of this appeal was resumed thie morning. This was an appeal from a decision of the Second Divi+ sion of the Court of Session, in favour of the Presbytery of Dundee, involving the question whether certain charitable hospital funds ought to be applied for the purpose of in creasing the income of the Established Church in Dundee s or for the relief of the poor. The Attorney-General resumed his argument for the appellant. He referred to the decided case of the city clergy of Edinburgh in December, 1810, also to the crown charter to the city of Edinburgh, which was in similar terms to the charter to the town of Dundee, to show that the appellants were not bound to apply the trust funds to increase the stipends of the clergy—that they were entitled to apply these funds for relief of the poor and other bene volent purposes; and, after retelling to several old grants, from 1501 downwards, and to the contract or agreement between the Magistrates and Presbytery to increase the stipend of the clergy of Dundee, maintained that the in crease of the stipend was paid out of the common good of the burgh, and not out of the hospital funds. The learned counsel then read the seve ral entries in the books of the burgh to show that the augmentation or increase of the stipends was paid out of the common good of the burgh and not out of the funds of the hospital. The learned counsel observed that for cen turies the ministers of the burgh were paid their stipends out of the funds of the burgh, that they acquiesed in that payment, and never made the claim they now make on the hospital funds, which are applied for the relief of the poor and decayed burgesses of the burgh, and eleemosynary pur poses, and in conclusion asked for a reversal of the decision of the court below. [The case was proceeding when we went to press.] DIVORCE COURT. Before Sir C. Cresswell and a Common Jury.) M c GREGOR V. M'GREGOR AND ANDERSON AND IeITENRY. In this case the husband prayed for a dissolution of mar riage, on the ground of his wife's adultery with both co respondents, and he claimed damages against the latter, wh• denied the adultery, and also pleaded that the petitioner and the respondent hnd nut been married. The other re sp iondent did not appear. From the opening statement of counsel it appeared that the petitioner was a solicitor, who had been in practice in Australia, and returned to this country in 1858, when he formed the acquaintance of Colonel Poole, who was the father of the petitioner, and was then at Cheltenham. He became attached to the young lady, and she reciprocated his affection; and though the parents at first consented to the union they afterwards opposed it on the ground of dis parity of years, the petitioner being much older than Miss Poole, who was stated to be about 17 years of age, while he was between 30 and 40. However, the parties eloped, and were married at Walcott, near Bath. They remained for some time at Clifton, and then went on the continent, but ultimately returned to England, and took up their residence at Clifton. The parents became reconciled to the respondent, and she went to live with them when her husband went back to Australia, being unable to accompany him, as she was enciente. While under her father's protection, she had attracted the attention of Captain M'Henry, who was an officer in an infantry regiment stationed in the neighbourhood. He persecuted her with his atten tions, notwithstanding the remonstrance of the mother, and ascertaining that she was about to be sent on a visit to London to her friends in order to avoid him, he suc ceeded in accompanying her in the same train, and in inducing her to go back with him to an hotel in London, where they slept together that night. She had a miscar riage some time afterwards, but when her health was suffi ciently restored, she joined her husband in Australia. However, he discovered a correspondence between her and Captain M'Henry which satisfied him as to their crimi nality. He sent her back to England, and on her voyage the intercourse took place between her and the other re spondent, who was the captain of the vessel in which she sailed. Ellen Tucker was examined, and stated that she was in, service at Colmee, Poole, in 1858. She remembered the day before the elopement that Mrs. M'Gregor was locked up in her bedroom by her father, in order to prevent her having any communication with Mr. M'Gregor. She ac companied Mrs. M'Gregor when she eloped, and the way in which the latter succeeded in getting out of her father's house was by setting fire to her veil, and then to the cur tains, and in the confusion that ensued she succeeded in leaving the house. She was present at the marriage, and she understood that Mrs. M'Gregor was then between 17 and 18 years of age. Mr. M'Gregor was now abet* 45 years old. He had several quarrels with his wife in consequence of her flirting with strangers on the wedding tour. She saw her throw papers with writing to a gentleman in the same train while they were travelling in France in a railway train. Notwithstanding these quar rels they were generally very happy, and Mr. M'Gregor appeared very fond of his wife. With respect to the dif ferences that took place between them, she had seen Mrs. M'Gregor behave very violently and throw things at him. She remembered his having brought her away from a ball against her wishes, in consequence of her flirtations with gentlemenwithwhomshe had previouslybeen unacquainted. Mrs. M'Gregor had stated to her previous to her marriage, that while she was at school at Brussels she was expelled or nearly expelled, in consequence of carrying on a flirta tion, and other misbehaviour, and that on one occasion her father had to lock her up in her bedroom in order to pre vent her eloping with a gentleman. Mr. M'Gregor told her before their elopement that he believed she would be different in her conduct when ske was married. She recol lected on one occasion after the marriage, that a quarrel took place between her and her husband, and that she refused to admit him into her bedroom. Mr. M'Gregor always appeared very fond of his wife, and treated her very kindly. _ _ After some immaterial evidence, Harriet Blake, a waitress at the Brunswick Hotel, Jen., myn-street, proved to a lady and gentleman coming there in the autumn of 1858, and having occupied the same bed for one night. She had seen them both since and identified them as Capt. M'llenry and Mrs. M'Gregor. She had lately gone with a gentleman to Flora-cottage, Chelsea, and she saw Mrs. M'Gregor in company with a gentleman. (This was understood to be the co-respondent, (Mr. Ander son.) Some corroborative evidence wasthen given, which closed the petitioner's case. Mr. Karslake then .Actressed the jury for the co-respon dent, Capt. 3L'liellry. s.,Lne witnesses were called for the defence, including a female servant, who stated that Mrs. M'Gregor had ad mated to her that she had committed adultery with several persons. The jury found a verdict for the petitioner, with £5 damages. The learned judged then pronounced a decree nisi, with costs. SHERIFFS' COURT. A LONDON CO-OPERATIVE STORE AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS. Mr. Wkitehurst, for the company, said that these were actions to recover calls made in accordance with a resolu tion carried by the directors. Some of the shareholders had settled, but others stood.
