COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir 3. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.) HOPLEY V. HOPLEY.-ZIKTRIORDINAItY C&SE. Mr Kerslake, Q.C., Dr Wambey, and Mr Day were counsel for the plaintiff, and the respondent defended his own case in person. The hearing of this case, which commenced yesterday, was resumed this morning. It was a suit instituted by the wife for judicial separation on the ground of her husband's cruelty, and the respondent, who bad been formerly a schoolmaster at Eastbourne, Sussex, and was sentenced to four years' penal servitude for having caused the death of one of his pupils by chastising him too severely, entered an appearance, and pleaded denial and condonation. Mr liaralake, in stating the case, said that the parties were married in 1855, the petitioner being about 20, and the respondent 36 years old. respondent had been educated for an tither, and was a pereon of considerable mental culture, zeal, and energy. Notwithstanding the disparity of years he had succeeded in obtaining the affections of the respondent, and the consent of her parents to their union, which turned out most unfortunate. After the marriage they resided at 22, Grand Parade, East- Lnurne, and there were three children issue of the marriage, who were living when the respondent opened a school and had several pupils. The parties went to Paris and other parts of the continent immediately after the marriage, and on the day when the ceremony was solemnised, the respon dent informed his wife that ho did not intend to cohabit with her until she had received such training ai his hands as would qualify her to discharge her duties tro the mother of her children. Ho said he wished to make her A model wife. While she was pregnant with her first child he CuM menced a series of acts of the greatest violence, which con tinued until the period of his imprisonment for causing the death of the youth Reginald Channell Cancella. During the term of his confinement in gaol at Lewes, his wife acted with great kindness to him, and at the time of his libera tion, as ho had no home to go to, she allowed him to take up his residence with her at a cottage at Wakefield, in the neighbourhood of Eastbourne, which had been provided for her by her friends, which cir cumstance formed the foundation of the alleged condonation. The learned counsel read a letter from the petitioner to her mother, in which she spoke in high terms of her husband during the period of their cohabitation, and said he was in structed to state that that letter was dictated by the respon dent; he read also a letter which the respondent delivered to his wife, in which he accused her of not obeying his in junctions. He said, that in addition to acts of violence the respondent was in the habit of using the most opprobrious epithets, such as calling her "a dunce," saying that she was beneath the lowest of his servants, and he accused her of having caused the idiotcy of one of their children by her mismanagement. Mrs Fanny Hopley, the petitioner, was examined by Dr Romley. She said that hor maiden name was Cobb, and that her father was a gentleman of independent means a ho resided at Eastbourne. The respondent visited at the house before the marriage. They went to Folkstone after the marriage, and his conduct there was harsh. They did not live together as man and wife until three or four days after the marriage. While on the continent he made the statement to her relative to her becoming " a model wife" before they cohabited. They returned to Eastbourne in about three weeks, and then by his direction. She commenced to study rules for her guidance in house. keeping which he had laid down for her. (These rules were put in.) These were given at different times. In January, 1556, she was pregnant, and being angry at some mistake she made in the lessons ho had set her, ho struck her a violent blow, but she could not say whether he knocked her down. The next act of violence was in the February fol- lowing, and she suffered so severely from his ill-treatment that she was obliged to go to bed and send for a medical man. On the occasion of the birth of her first child he would not allow her to have a medical man, and she deli vered herself. Five days after the birth of the eldest child, he compelled her to go out with him in a fly. He took the child with them, and it was deposited in a hamper. (Laugh tar.) He assigned as a reason for making her go out that it wculd be a change. She had seen him beat the first child before it could walk, and frequently saw bruises and marks on its person in consequence. In the year 1557 he had thrown lesson books and copy books at her and frequently spat in her face. On one occasion when she swallowed a fish bone he said it was a great blessing for him she was about to be choked. Ile said he loathed of Mr Herman, and after being there little more than a month, during which time ho had led a very diss'pated life he was found dead in his bed. An inquest was held on the dead body, and the executors sent in a leaden coffin, and made the necessary arrangements for the deceased's inter ment at a cemetery, but on the deceased's friends going to Mr Herman's to remove the body Mr Herman refused to permit them doing so, setting up a claim for more than £lOO, although the deceased had spent nearly £6OO during the few weeks he had been staying at the cafe. He (Mr Pearce) wished to state that there was no excuse for Mr Herman acting as he was doing, as the executors were persons of undoubted respectability, and would satisfy every claim, if just. Mr Knox asked whether the body was still at the cafe. Mr Pearce said it was, and that the executors could not get it away, although the undertaker had gone with the hearse for it. Had Mr Herman not i. , een present he should have asked for a warrant against him, so that ho might show cause why he detained it. IVith rego.rd to the coffin, that was clear ly the property of the executors, and being of less value than Ll 5 his worship had jurisdiction in the matter. It was no doubt an offence at common law ip keep a body above ground, and had the body not been soldex - ed down a Sufficient nuisance for interference could have been caused. Mr Herman said he was told his bill should be settled before the body was taken away. Mr Knox said Mr Herman's claim was against the exe cutors. Mr Herman said that he should not be able to get his money for a long time. Mr Knox—Suppose I order the coffin t, be given up, and leave you with the dead body. Mr Pearce said he could give the names of gentlemen who would pay any just demands. Mr Knox said Mr Herman could go to a court of justice and assert his claim, but as for thinking he could detain a dead body, that was all nonsense. Mr Herman had evi dently been speculating upon that melancholy transaction. He would tell Mr Herman that the result of the offence would be that•he would be left with a deady body, and get n o money at all. Mr Herman refusing to give up the body, Mr Knox said he would order an immediate detaining summons to be made out, and would order—supposing Mr Pearce's caso made out—that the coffin should be given up, and then the Board of Health could interfere and make Mr Herman do something with the body. Mr Pearce said that surely, if Mr Harman had one spark of decency left, he would give up the body, and he would then find no difficulty in the matter. A summons was ordered to be made out. Mr Knox told Mr Herman that the summons would issue, and he might depend upon it that, if he touched the coffin, with the view of taking out the body so as to detain it, he would be sent to prison. He considered Mr Herman's conduct a disgrace to humanity, and he had no hesitation in saying that his conduct, in supplying the de ceased with drink ancrthe means of dissipation, had accele rated the unfortunate man's death, The summons was then ordered to issue forthwith. the sight of her, and he had forbidden her to fondle her children. He said he could scarcely keep bis hands from her, and threatened to beat cut her brains, and he also frequently kicked her in rho back. Her eldest child had exhibited idiotcy early, and had been placed in Earlawood Asylum, but she could not say whether the idiotcy took place before or after it had been beaten by her husband, They brought him to London for advice. Ho said the only mode of getting knowledge from her was by beating it out of her. She might have said that she married him merely for a home, but it was in consequence of his behaviour. He several times called her a "fiend" and a " demon." On ono occasion she left him and went to her mother's, but he had sufficient influence over her to induce her to return. [The case was proceeding when we went to press.] SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before J. E. Davis, Esq., and a j ,ry.) THOMPSON'S CRINOLINES AND THE PRINCESS OF (PALES -SINGULAR ACTION.-HILMER V. RIDDLE. This was an action to recover a sum of money for engrav• ing a copperplate, Mr Mathews appearing for the defendant It appeared from the statement of plaintiff that a short time ago he was employed by the defendant to make an en graving of a pretty woman wearing a dress Ilet cut by Thompson's Prize Skirt Crinoline. Subsequently, how ever, the defendant changed his mind, and said he would have the face a portrait of the Princess of Wales, for which purpose a carte de visite was prepared. Plaintiff made a very good portrait, but he could not get his money. Mr Mathews, for defendant, called his client, who said that he went to an electrotyper to gave him an esti mate for electrotyping a plate. The electrotyper (Skinner) did so, and defendant considered 1 hat it included the en graving. He did not give the order to Hilmer, but to Skinner, who delayed the work, and at last sent it home valueless. In the engraving the portrait of the Princess was very well done, but in the proof of the electrotyped block Skinner had shown the Royal lady with a Blight moustache and a black eye. (Great laughter.) It being impossible that Thompson's crinolines would derive any degree of patronage under the circumstance defendant declined to pay for the work, but he did not object to the plate engraved. Skinner (the electrotyper) said his estimate did not in clude the engraver's charges. The job was a very difficult one. Witness did it as well as he was able, and there was no delay. The jury, after a very brief consultation, found for the SKINNER V. RIDDLE. This was an action without a jury, in which plaintiff, an electrotyper, sought to recover for a block, Mr Mathew 3 said it was utterly useless, and could not be said to be well done. An independent witness from the body of the court said it required touching with a graver, and the plaintiff in the last action said it required time to get it set. His Honour could not say that the proof from the block was at all complimentary as a portrait, and, indeed, when compared with the other engravings, was most inferior. Plaintiff must be non-suited, but perhaps Hilmer would give him something. (The reporter was informed that a poem upon crino line is in course of publication, and the block was re quired for purposes of illustration.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, WESTMINSTER. A FEMALE IMPRISONED 'WITIIOUT A FlNE.—Mary Anne Clarke, a married woman, and of a most violent dis position, was charged before Mr Selfe, with assaultin Ellen M‘Gowan, also a married women, who, in conse quence of a wound inflicted on her head by the prisoner, was obliged to be taken to the Hospital. It appeared that the complainant and prisoner lived at No 8, Great Peter-street. About 12 o'clock yesterday, the prisoner attempted to break in the door of complainant's room without any provocation having been given by the complainant. The latter about two o'clock went to the Police-court to get a summons for the damage. On her return she saw the prisoner, who told complainant that if she got hold of her she would kill her. Complainant, who is near her confinement, then went into a room and remained there till the evening, wishing to avoid the prisoner. In the course of the evening the complainant left the room, but she was no sooner in the presence of the prisoner than she gave her a heavy blow on her head with a blunt instrument, which she had succeeded in concealing somewhere. Complainant bled severely from the wound, and was taken to the hospital. She afterwards attacked complainant's husband with some gingerbeer bottles, which s h e flung at him. She also (the same day) broke open the shop door of the landlady's part of the house. Each complainant gave evidence, and said that the prisoner had no provocation to act as she had done, and that on former occasions she ought to have been brought to that court. Mr Selfe observed that she was a violent and most dan gerous woman, and must be punished. She was sent to prisoner for a month, and was held to bail to keep the peace for the same period. MARLB%ROUGH-STREET EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION,—REFUSAL TO GIVE UP A DEAD BODY,—Mr Pearce, barrister, accompanied by Mr Wall, of the firm of Smith and Wall, New.inn, Strand, attended before Mr Knox this morning under the following circum stances `t— Mr Pearce said he attended on behalf of the executors of a gentleman to apply for a warrant against a person named Herman, who kept a cafe in Dean -street, Soho, but as he observed that person in court, perhaps he would giva such an explanation as would not neoessitato his doing so, The dead gentlemen had for some years resided at Chelsea, but unfortunately for him had bleu decoyed inta the house Mr Paget—lf you like. AN ALABAMA MAN ON THE 'WRONG TACK.—Ann Sim mons, a well-known thief, was brought before Mr Paget charged with stealing a silver watch and a coat, the pro perty of James Higgs, a seaman, who belonged to the Confederate steamer Alabama, and was on board of her in the late engagement with the Federal steamship Kearsage. Higgs has been living with many cf his shipmates at Conroy's lodging-house, No. 134, Rateliff Highway, and the Palmetto flag has been hoisted there. Higgs fell in with a girl a few days since ; she took him to the prisoner's house in Bluegate-fields. He was drugged there and fell asleep. When he awoke next morning another woman was lying alongside of him. His coat and watch were gone, and the woman he found by his side denied all knowledge of the property. He asked for his waistcoat, which was brought to him by the prisoner, and be sent out for a half gallon of beer, shich the prisoner, the other woman, and himself partook of. Subsequently two pawnbrokers dupli cates were sent to him at Conroy's lodging house. Two pawnbrokers produced the watch and coat. George Petty, a police constable, No. 90 K, said the prisoner told him the Alabama man came home with Kate Hurley, who left him, and Lydia Wood then supplied her place and remained with the sailor. It was Kate Hurley who pawned the watch and coat, Mr Paget remanded the prisoner for a week. MARKETS—This Day, MARK-LAN - E. IMPERIAL WEEKLY AVERAGES.

Her hus band was very persistent, and bad applied to her to take him back; she was very willing to do so, but was desirous cf ascertaining first whether ho could claim the property she had acquired, and, secondly, whether nis creditors could make her property available for the payment of any debts he might hive contracted. Mr Paget—Havo Son accepted your husband again ? The applicant—l mean to take him back, and. forgive him, providing I shall not have to pay his debts. Mr Paget said that he would rather not answer the questions put to him. Ho was asked more particularly if the wife's property was liable to the husband's debts, if cohabitation was resumed. He would not answer the question or give any advice on the subject. He had not all the facts before him, and he would not answer the ques tion on a mere statiiment. The applicant had better apply to a respectable solicitor and ask his advice on the subject. The applicant—May I live with my husband again.; COAL MARKET. the close of the market.

On the order of the day for the third reading of this bill, changed from the Hampstead, Midland, North-Western and Charing-Cross Railway, Sir J. SHELLEY complained of sharp practice on the part of the railway company, the bill having been read in a morning sitting, when parties interested had no opportu nity of opposing . . He should MOW next session that no private bill be t iken at a morning sitting. Mr S. ESTCOURT said the right hon, baronet might have been present yesterday to oppose the bill. Even now it was not too late, if he felt so disposed, to arrest its pro gress. Ho thought the hon. member had nothing to com plain of. bar BOUVERIE urged that parties had not had suffi c;-nt notice, In such cases he thought there should be one clear day's notice of a motion to suspend standing orders, After some further discussion, it was agreed that the standing oraer 226 should be suspended, and that the bill should be reae a third time to-morrow (this day). DUNDEE CII:URCHES AND HOSPITAL BILL. On the motion of Mr C. FORSTER, it was agreed that in the case of this bill the eiat. -liner of petitions for private bills should have leave to proceet; forthwith. BILLS WITLTDRAWN , The Superior Courts of Comm.'n Law (Ireland) Bill, the Court of Queen's Benoh (Ireland; Bill, and the Mar ried Women's Acknowledgment Bill, woo withdrawn, on the motion of Sir R Peel. UNIFORMITY ACT AMENDMENT Mr. BOUVERIE, in moving the second reading pt this bill, explained its nature and effect. It proposed to repeal the seventh section of the Act of Uniformity of Charles 11., requiring from certain dignitaries of the Church, and fellows and tutors of colleges, declarations of conformity to the Prayer B )ok. At Oxford and Cambridge there was some difference. At Cambridge there were no oaths or declarations of any kind on admission, and there were none on taking the ordinary degree in arts, but if an undergra duate obtained a scholarship which was a mark of distinction he had to take the oaths. He had to take an oath of obe dience to the college statutes, He did not intend to interfere with that oath where the statutes required it, but ho objected to the Parliament on a mere taking the oath of conformity to the Church of England, whether the statutes required it or not. Secondly, he had to take the oath of allegiance, supremacy, and abjuration; and, thirdly, under the Act of Uniformity, he had to make a declaration that he would conform to the Liturgy of the Church of England. It was this he asked the house to assist him in repealing. The universities were not merely seminaries for the education of priests ; on the contrary, they were essentially lay corpo rations, and the fellowships were the prizes for literary and scientific energy. The system was injurious to the Church, to the men who were excluded, and to the universities themselves. Mr. WALPOLE said the bill was not of the little im portance the hon member seemed to admit. He saw no reason why it should be pressed upon the house when there was so much opposition to it out of doors. The introduction of the principle laid down in the bill would lead to religious confusion to the promoters, and it would draw many from secular education, the foundation of religion on which the education stood, and on which the country was determined it should stand, whatever may be the nature of the educa tion determined upon. He denied the proposition of the hon gentleman that the present system was unjust to the Dissenters, and injurious to the Universities and the Church. A University had been established in London, in which all who did not conform to the Church of England might receive a university education, and by the establish ment of the college the grievances of the Dissenters were almost entirely removed. He moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time that day three months. Mr MONSELL complained that Mr Bouverie, by his bill, would inflict a serious injury on Roman Catholics. In a matter of civil rights it would put Roman Catholics on a pinnacle where they might be pelted at by all who differed from them. The right hon. gentleman (Mr Bouverie) had come down with professions of liberality on his lips while perpetrating this monstrous injustice. (Hear, hear.) The right honourable gentleman wished to affirm that religion ought not to be the founda tion of education, and if he succeeded he would, go on to something else. He (Mr Monsell) advised the house to resist the introduction of the bill, and to maintain the great principles on which the universities were founded. Mr WHALLEY said the object of the Church was to make its boundaries as wide as possible, and supported the second reading of this bill, Mr NE ATE was sorry to differ from those with whom he usually acted, and opposed the bill, which he thought unwise, after they had rejected the larger measure of throw ing open the universities. The house divided — For the second reading lOl Against it.. ajority —5G The bill was therefore lost. COSTS SECURITY BILL. The order for going into committee on this bill was post poned until to-morrow. SCOTTISH EPISCOPAL CLERGY DISABILITIES REMOVAL BILL. Sir W, HEATHCOTE moved the second reading of this bill, and explained the position in which the clergy of the Scottish Episcopalian Church were placed. He stated that Tillotson and Burnet, two distinguished prelates of the Church of England, were clergymen of Scottish orders, and before the present restrictions were op posed, a Scottish prelate was translated to the Irish bishopric of Raphoe. At present a clergyman ordained by a Scottish bishop, a bishop of a church in com munion with our own, could not be licensed to a curacy or instituted to a living in England. He might be the best man for the place, but still a bishop would be bound to reject him. A bishop might ordain a dissenter, but he could not ordain a Scottish Episcopalian clergy.. man, because he recognised his orders to be good. It had been said that the Scottish Episcopalian clergymen were inferior in education to those of Eagland, but ho thought that when we were obliged to take theological students from St. Bee's and St. Arden's, the English Church ought not to throw stones, for the Scottish clergy were educated at the old Scottish Universities, and also had a special training of their own at Glenalmond. The bill now before the house had been thoroughly sifted before the House of Lords, and he trusted it would be sent back with as few amendments as possible. Mr KINNAIRD rose to move as an amendment, — "That a select committee be appointed to inquire how far any privileges which may be conferred upon the clergy of the Episcopal Church in Scotland would interfere with the Treaty of Union between England and Scotland, and into the expediency of removing at the same time from the ministers of the Established Church of Scotland the dis advantages imposed on them by the Act 13th and 14th Charles II ,c. 4. The main object of the bill, he believed, was to open the door for amalgamating the two churches, and it was thought by many it was intended to be the first step to making the Episcopal Church 't the Estab lished Church of Scotland. (Cries of Oh, oh.") He contended that this measure would be of no benefit to the Church of England. These Scottish clergy were not required, for there were at present in the Chuech of Eng land thousand of curates who had no prospect of obtaining ecclesiastical preferment. Mr A. SMITH and Mr HADFIELD both rose to second the amendment. Mr WALTER wished to know, whether in the event of this bill passing, a Scottish clergyman admitted to a bene fice in England would be at liberty to go back to Scotland to officiate there. If the bill were not carefully guarded it would be setting up a sort of spiritual Schleswig-Hol stein in Scotland. Mr G. DUFF said that most of the Scottish bishops were in English orders. The bill would not, he considered, interfere in any way with the Established Presbyterian Church of Scotland. This was a peculiarly curt question, and he trusted that the odium theolopcum would not be introduced. With regard to this being a first attempt to make episcopacy the religi on of Scotland, all he had to say was that a more crazy idea never entered the mind of man. (Hear, hear.) Mr NEWDEGA.TE thought it injudicious to commit the powers proposed i n the bill to any individual bishop. He should vote for the committee recommended by Mr Kinnaird. Mr BLACK, as a Scotch member, had great pleasure in supporting the bill. ° Mr STIRLING ros e to express his thanks to the holy th e resent bill member for Oxford fo r introducing p, which he was sure would create a feeling of pleasure in the minds of Scotch members generally. Colonel SYKES supported tho bill. Mr HADFIELD opposed the bill. Mr LOUVERIE said he should vote for the bill, because it provided simply for a civil privilege, and had nothing to do with spiritual privilege. Mr KINNAI:-ID said he would not give the house the trouble of dividing. The bill was then read a second time. POOR LAW GUARDIANS' ELECTION BILL. Mr BAINES withdrew this bill. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' BILL. This bill was withdrawn. PETTY OFFENCES LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. WHA.LLEY moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to enabler a husband or wife to give evidence when one of them was charged with a petty offence. The SOLICITOR GENERAL opposed the bill. After a short discussion the hill was withdrawn. COUNTY REGISTRATION VOTERS BILL The order for the committal of this bill was read and dis• charged; ECCLESIASTIC AL COURTS AND REGISTRIES (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. JERSEY COURTS BILL. • This bill was withdrawn. POISONED GRAIN PROHIBITION BILL. Mr BERKELEY moved that the house go into com mittee on this bill. An HON. MEMBER moved as an amendment that the Speaker do leave the chair that day six months. (Laughter.) . Mr DAWSON said if this bill passed mutton would cease to exist in Ireland. Mr BERKELEY said his great object in bringing this bill was not to preserve thelives of foxes, but to prevent the destruction of sheep, pigs, and dogs. The house divided, when there appeared—. For the motion GO Against it M9jority — 9 2 The house then went into committee, and progress was reported. HARWICH HARBOUR ACT AMENDMENT BILL This bill was read a second time. EXPIRING LAWS CONTINUANCE BILL. This bill passed through committee. MILITIA BALLOT SUSPENSION BILL. This bill passed through committee. ELECTION PETITIONS ACT AMENDMENT BILL, This bill was withdrawn.

Her lisjesty, by her order in Council of the 9th of July, 1864, having been graciously pleased to sanction certain arrangements proposed by the Board of Admiralty with a view to the advantage of the naval service, the Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty hereby give notice of the mode in which the arrangements in question will be carried into effect : " FIRST, AS RELATES TO CAPTAINS. " 1. The active list of captains to be reduced from 350 to 300. "2. The existing system of placing on a retired list all captains who may from time to time attain the ago of 60 without having served in their present rank to be extended to captains who may attain the ago of 60 and have served a portion of but not the full sea time required to qualify them for promotion to the active list of flag-officers. Such officers to receive retired pay as follows : " If on the 10s. 6d. halt-pay list when retired, ISs. per diem. " If on the 12s. 6d. half-pay list when retired, 20s. per diem. "If on the 14s. 6d. half-pay list when retired, 20s, per diem " Such officers to assume the rank and title of Rear- Admiral at the time they would have obtained their flag by seniority had they remained on the active list, and then to receive retired pay at the rate of 255. per diem, subject, however, to the proviso contained in paragraph 7. " 3.

Lhemann and Flatow pleaded guilty, but the trial of Werner, who was admitted to bail, was by consent postponed until next session. SHOOTING WITH INTENT. Samuel Hubbard, aged 88, described as a seaman, was indicted for feloniously shooting at George Knight with intent to murder. There was a minor count reducing the offence to intent to do grievous bodily harm. Mr. Ribton prosecuted ; end Mr. Lilley defended. The facts of this case are of a very painful character. The prisoner believed that his wife had been guilty of adultery with the prosecu tor, and while he was lying in bed fired a pistol containing slugs at him, but only a trifling wound was inflicted. The learned Judge said that all the jury had to do was to say whether the prisoner was guilty of firing with intent, and he would recommend that they found the prisoner guilty of the lesser offence with intent to do grievous bodily harm. The ques tion of the aggravation would be a question for him to consider. The jury returned a verdict of guilty with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and added a strong re commendation to mercy on account of the aggrava. Lion the prisoner had received. The learned judge, acting on the recommendation of the jury, sentenced the prisoner to one month's fOrther imprisonment. Thomas Atkins, 27, omnibus conductor, indicted with feloniously wounding Emma Ludford, with whom he cohabited, was acquitted. The prosecutrix, evidently with the intention of screening, gave a very different version of the occurrence from that she gave before the magistrates. The court ordered her expenses to be disallowed. One or two other minor cases concluded the busi ness of these sessions, which were adjourned to Monday, Aug, 1&. WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS, SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 13.

(Before the Lord Chief Justice Erie.) TUE RUSSIAN' FORGERIES OF ROUBLE NOTES. Carl Albrecht Abrahams, a foreigner, described as a labourer, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with feloniously uttering two forged Russian notes for the payment of 50 roubles each. Sentence deferred. THE CHARGE UNDER THE FOREIGN ENLISTMENT ACT. John Seymour pleaded guilty to an indictment under the Foreign Enlistment Act, charging him with enlisting men as firemen on board a steamer called the Rappahannock in the service of the Confederate Government. Mr. Metcalfe, on behalf of the prisoner, said he had borne a very good character, and had for some years carried on the business of a shipping master ; persons came to him and he sent them to any ship which might be in want of hands at the time. Under such cir cumstances he engaged the men as firemen on board of the vessel in question not knowing he was acting contrary to law. The Solicitor General, on the part of the Crown, said the object of the prosecution was rather pre vention than punishment. He was willing to accept Mr Metcalfe's explanation, and under the circumstances e would be quite content if the pri soner was bound over in his own zecognisances to appear when called on to receive judgment. The prisoner was accordingly liberated on these condi tions, and the learned judge told him that it he attempted to renew the offence he certainly wou:d be called on, and would be sentenced to the full punishment provided by the law. THE LATE FOREIGN COMMERCIAL FRAUDS. The Price of Gold. The quotation of geld at Paris is about 21 per milk pm., at d the short exchange on London is `2..20 per £1 sterling. On comparin these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17 s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appe,u s that gold is rather nacre than 1-lith per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from liambUrg the price of gold is 425 per mar and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 stcrii 4'. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg. • PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. —It is said, in the best informed circled, that the Parliamentary session will be brought to a close on the 29th or 30th inst.
