The Earl and Countess of Derby had the honour of dining with her Majesty and the royal family yesterday. JAN. 31. Her Majesty, attended by the Marchioness of Ely, walked and drove yesterday. Professor Tyndall has had the honour of deliver ing two lectures on electricity before her Majesty and the royal family. The Prince and Princess of Wales. During the past week the progress of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales towards complete recovery has been uninterrupted—thanks to a good constitution and the care and attention of her me dical attendants and those around her. Should the health of the princess continue as good as it is at present, and the weather admit of it, it is not un likely that her royal highness will be enabled to take some little out-door exercise in the course of the ensuing week. The young prince is also quite well, and is making as good progress as can be expected. He is extremely like the Prince of IV ales. In return for the generous hospitality with which the Prince of Wales has shown to the offi cers of the garrison of this town, his royal highness was invited by Lieut. . . Colonel Baillie and the officers of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) to a banquet, which took place on Saturday evening in the mess room of the cavalry bat racks, at Spital. A distin guished company were present, covers being laid for between 20 and 30 guests, among whom were Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, Lieu.-Colonel H. S. Baillie, Captain Gray, Captain R. W. Bulkeley, the officers of the Royal Horse Guards, &c. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge, the Princess Mary, and the Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, arrived at Frogmore on Fri day morning, on a visit, and lunched with the Prince and Princess of Wales.

MAXWELL AND MISS BRADDON.—In re ference to the report recently going the round of the newspapers to the effect that Miss Braddon, the novelist, was recently married to Mr. Maxwell, the publisher, Mr. R. B. Knowles has written to a contemporary :—As this rumour is totally without foundation, Mr. Maxwell being already married, I have read your journal from day to day since it appeared, expecting that either he or Miss Braddon would contradict it. Neither of them has done so. In the presence of this extraordinary st a t ement and still more ex traordinaryl ask y our pero _ ission, as Mrs. Max. to say th a t th e above report is utterly sri:elianr.c-leAa'iwa; well wa s married several years ago uwneflol,usnudreodtl.le to Mi ss Mary Anno Crowley, sister of the late N. J. Crowley, o f the Royal Hib ernian Academy --an artist well known in Dublin and in London. This lady, who has borne her husband a largo family, is still living. It is not, therefore, and it cannot be true that Miss Braddon, the novelist, was recently married to Mr. Maxwell, the publisher. Daily service is now held i n upwards of 830 Protestant churches and chapels in Eagland. MARKETS--This Day. MARK-LANE. In the country markets held on Saturday, a fair average business was transacted in most qualities of wheat, and prices ruled firm. For malting barley, there was a good demand at full quotations; and other articles, including flour, changed hands to a moderate extent, at about previ ous rates. Advices from New York state that the export demand for wheat and flour continued to increase, and that shipping qualities commanded further enhanced rates. On the Continent very little change has taken (lace in the value either of wheat or spring corn. The arrivals of English wheat and flour up to our market last week were hut moderate, but the receipts of spring corn were tolerably extensive. The imports from abroad amounted to 25,486 quarters of wheat, 19,145 barley, 22,867 oats, 2,500 rye, 2.52 beans, 4,225 linseed, 5,481 oil-seeds, 5,830 maize, 2,404 sacks, and 1,550 barrels of flout. Moderate supplies of home-grown wheat were received fresh up to our market to-day, and the condition of the pro duce was, on the wh .le, tolerably good. The warlike news at hand from the Continent was unproductive of any acti vity in the demand either for z ed or white qualities, never theless factors were firm, and the bulk of the supply was disposed of at the rates current on Monday last. With roost descriptions of foreign wheat the market was fairly supplied. The transactions, however, were for the most part, of a hand to mouth character, at previous quota tionp. The demand for cargoes of wheat and spring corn afloat ruled steady, and previous quotations were supported. The supply of barley—both English and foreign , --on offer was moderately large. For malting qualities the trade ruled firm, at full currencies; but in inferior descriptions sales progressed slowly on former terms. Malt changed hands slowly, yet no change took place in its value compared with Monday last. With oats the market was moderately supplied. The trade, generally speaking, ruled steady, at full quotations Very moderate supplies of beans were on sale. For all qualities there was a steady demand, at quite previous rates. Peas ruled firm in price, ane in most descriptions a fair business was transacted. American flour moved off steadily, at full prices. English and French qualities supported previous rates, with a moderate inquiry.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was about an average time-of-year supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market, and the demand for it ruled steady at prices quite equal to last week. We were Tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with home-fed beasts, but their general quality was not quite equal to Monday last. From Scotland the receipts were good and in prime condition. From Ireland the sup ply was small. On the whole, the beef trade ruled steady at quite last week's quotations. The primest Scots and crosses realised 5s 2d per Blbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambrideshire we re ceived 2,000 Scot and crosses; from 'other parts of Eng. land, 700 various breeds; from Scotland 359 Scots and crosses ; and, from Ireland, 160 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was again only thoderate. The quality of most breeds, however, was good. The mutton trade was tolerably firm, and late rates were fully supported, The general top figure was 65., but a few very superior Down realised 6s 2d per Sibs. About 600 shorn sheep were on offer. They sold at is per 81bs. beneath those in the wool.

Rough LAW INTELLIGENCE —(This Day,) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) COSTS UNDER DEEDS OF ARRANGEMENTS. His Honour gave judgment on an application for costs under a deed of arrangement. The petition was presented in July, 1861, but the Court thought the demand was not "just, reasonable, and proper," and the matter was brought into bankruptcy, and the solicitors, Messrs. Sole and Turner, now applied for payment of their costs of preparing the deed. His Honour said that looking at the fact of the lapse of time before the application was made—the Court had refused to sanction the deed, and also in the absence of any provision in the last act—he did not consider that he ought to grant the application, which would therefore be refused. RE THOMAS G. WILLIAMS.—JUDGMENT. His Honour gave judgment in this case, which has been frequently before the Court on an application for adjudica tion against Mr. Williams, who was a shareholder in the Professional Life Assurance Company, and the question was whether he was liable, he being a non-trader; and it being alleged that the debt was not contracted until atter the passing of the Bankruptcy Lew Consolidation Act of 1861. The claim was on calls in respect of the above company, which was formed and the deed executed in Feb., 1849, but was wound up under the Winding -up Act, but it was not until July, 1863, that an order was made by the Master of the Rolls calling upon the debtor to pay the sum of £1,921 13s sd, and there was the debt on which the petition in bankruptcy was founded. His Honour held principally on the case of Purbury, 30 Law of Chancery, 514, and quoted by Mr. C. E. Lewis, for the debtor, that the debt was con tracted at the time of the execution, and not at the time the order was made, and therefore refused to adjudicate in the case. 150 49/ 128 i } 136 41 110 4 91 704 103} i I 41 404 1 106/ 74 6i 100 1 100 99 1 124 1341 31 P 991 52 * 59 914 33 NI i i i Schevening.... 213 ~ T0ta1.... 819 . • 1151 189 .. 4 The yearly comparison of weekly imports is as follows : Beasts.

(Before the R.2eorder.) The February sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning, there being present the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Sir James Duke, Sir F. G. Moon, Alderman Carter, Alderman James Lawrence, Sheriffs Nissen and Cave. The Recorder, in his charge to the Grand Jury, said the most serious case they would have to try was against John Lyons and several other persons, for the wilful murder of six persons at sea, and there was another charge against them of having destroyed a ship on the high seas. The only ques tion they would have to consider was whether all there pri soners were implicated in those acts. That murder had been committed there could be no doubt. There were two or three cases of manslaughter, now so frequent, and as frequently happened, the charges arose out of drunken frays at public houses. His lordship noticed several other cases chiefly of larceny, which would be brought before the Grand Jury, but said there was nothing in them to which he need direct more particular attention. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF LIBEL AGAINST A CLERGYMAN. The Rev. Thomas Richardson Birch, described as a cler gyman of the Church of England, was indicted for having unlawfully and maliciously ?published a defamatory libel of and concerning Mr. Felix Frederick Taylor, of Herschel! House, Slough. He pleaded not guilty. The defendant was not placed in the dock, but was allowed to stand on the floor of the court. From the statement of Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., the prose cuting counsel, it appeared that Mr. Taylor, the prosecutor, lived at Slough, and had two sons, one of whom was in such ill-health that he did not think it advisable to send him to a school. He, therefore, applied to Mr. Johnson, a clerical agent, to procure him a tutor, and by him he was intro duced to the prisoner. After a correspondence between them the defendant entered upon his duties on the sth of June, 1862, and remained there until the sth of July, 1863. Shortly after entering Mr. Taylor's family the defendant succeeded in obtaining the appointment of chaplain to the Windsor Uuion. About the same time Mr. Taylor had reason to complain of the way in which the defendant edu cated his children,and this ultimately led to a rupture between them. Mr. Taylor then again applied to Mr. Johnson, who recommended a Mr. Lott, but the latter was acquainted with Mr. Birch, and left shortly after accepting the appointment, putting Mr. Taylor to a great deal of inconvenience. A third time Mr. Taylor applied to Mr. Johnson, who then recommended the Rev, Mr. Sharpe ; and while negotiations were pending between him and complainant, Mr. Sharpe received an anonymous letter, dated Windsor, Oct. 15. It was to the following effect:— " Windsor, Berkshire, Oct. 15. "Rev. Sir,—For the present, in common justice to a stranger, all are quite willing and ready to believe that you do not know that you have entered into a sink of the grossest crimes and infamy and vilest disgrace, or else are going so to do. If you still keep your engagement, you will receive, and deserve it too, the contempt of all decent people who are not in the Church, and the greatest disgust of all the gentlemen who are so ; inquire of the police of this borough, also of Eton and Slough. If likewise you can make up your mind and think it right, you can apply about these dreadful things of the house at Slough to the ministers there --viz., the Rev. .Mr. Cree, the Rev. Mr. Birch, and the Rev. Mr. Sykes. " Counsellors to one whom we think needs counsel, " COUNSEL." Mr. Sharpe took the letter to Mr. Johnson, who communi- cated with the complainant, who immediately recognised Mr. Birch's handwriting. Another letter was sent to Mr. Sharpe speaking in strong terms of the immoralities otMr. Taylor's household, and commenting on proceedings in the Consistorial Court in which Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were con cerned. Notwithstanding this Mr. Sharpe entered Mr. Taylor's service, and on the 25th of March Mr. Taylor re ceived a letter which he put in. Mr. Collins, who with Mr. H. Palmer appeared for the defendant, objected, and a legal argument arose, Mr. Collins stating that the letter now proposed to be put in being an answer to one addressed by the prosecutor to the defendant, he requested the recorder to look at the prose • cuter's letter to the defendant. The Recorder did so, and said it was evident that Mr. Birch had had much to provoke him. Mr, F. F. Taylor was called and examined by Mr. Ser • geant Ballantine for the prosecutor. He said he had been in basiaess as a wine merchant, but retired in 1858. He formed a connection with the lady who was now his wife. Some proceedings took place in the Divorce Court, as soon as the law would permit him he married his present wife, by whom he had two sons. For these he required a tutor, and Mr. Birch was introduced to him. An arrangement was made, by which he was to have a furnished cottage, and £lOO a year. For some time Mr. Birch went on satisfac torily, but afterwards became remiss, and witness spoke to him on the subject. (The whole of the circumstances con nected with the engagement were gone into ) Cross-examined by Mr. Collins—He had been in partner ship as a wine merchant with his father and brother. He had known a gentleman named Barlow, in about 1848 or 1850. He was not in partnership with him. Mr. Barlow occupied the upper part of the house in which his business was conducted. He became acquainted with his wife about the same time. He knew the husband first. At the time Mrs. Barlow had two children 10 or 12 years of age,—girls. He visited them about two years. She left her husband under his protection. He committed adultery with her while she was under her husband's roof. Subsequently he took her away from the roof of her husband and lived in adultery with her several years. The two children to whom Mr. Birch was the tutor, was the result of their adulterous intercourse. In March, 1861, Mrs. Barlow was divorced from her husband. He married her in March, 1862. He did not tell Mr. Birch that the children were illegitimate. He never told Mr. Birch that he was an " Oxford man," or that his wife was a lady of high family, the daughter of a colonel. He did not tell him that his wife was so virtuous that she could not associate with the people round Windsor. No ladies living in the neighbourhood visited at his house. Mr, Birch never complained that the children had stated that Mr. Taylor had used improper language with regard to a governess residing in the house. He knew a man named Hearne at Windsor, but ho had no dispute with him. He had leant Hearne a pony and he injured it, for which he paid £2, He had never charged Hearne with writing the anonymous letter. By Sergeant Ballantine--It was his own wish that no acquaintances had been formed by his family with the ladies about Windsor. Mr. Johnson, clerical end scholastic agent, proved the oireumstanoes under which Mr. Birch was engaged. Mr. Sharpe brought him the anonymous letter. He believed it to be in Mr. Birch's handwriting. The Rev. Mr. Sharpe said he received the anonymous letter and showed it to Mr. Johnston. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. Collins addressed the jury for the defence. The jury, after a long absence, found the defendant guilty, but added that he was excited at the time. The Recorder deferred sentence. STATISTICS OF BRITISH LITERATURE. The number of titles for 1863 present a remarkable similarity to those of 1862—in the former year 4,291, and the past year 4,286. _ _ _ ... THE SOANE MUSEUM, in Lincoln'a•inn-fields, will open this season on the Wednesday in each week in the months of February, March, July, and August ; and on tho Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays in April, May, and Juno. _ _ A BRONZE STATUE OF ROSSINI, by Baron Mare chetti, has been presented to the town of Pesaro, in Italy, the composer's birthplace, by the Marquis de la Salamanca and M. de la Haute, directors of the Roman railways. ROSSINI, MEYERBEER, AND AUBER.—A dinner was given two days back, says the Paris Presse, at the re sidence of M. Rossini, there la-ing present the three greatest composers of the day—the host himself, M. Meyerbeer, and M. Auber. The " Africaine" was spoken of, and the author declared that ho bad not yet found the female singer he lad been so long in search of to suit that work. He added that another opera of his, " Judith," would mos t probably be brought out before the " Africaine." DANIEL MACLISE, R,A., is painting a picture representing the scene described by Sir Walter Scott, in " Ivanhoe," of the meeting of King Richard the First with Robin Hood and the outlaws. This will probably appear at the forthcoming Royal Academy Exhibition. IN RE VA.IIGHAN. An application was made a few days since for an adjudi cation in bankruptcy against this debtor, formerly in Croy don, but now residing in France, and the only question in this case was whether the debt had been contracted since the passing of the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Act. The ground of the claim was on calls under the Waterloo Assurance Company. In this case Mr. Roxburgh urged that the liability did not arise until after the registration of the company, which was not until after the passing of the act.

DAMAGING THE ACHILLES STATUE IN HYDE PARK.— Wm. Marchant, described as a porter, of Hanover-court, Long-acre, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing two of the letters forming part of the inscription on the Achilles statue in Hyde Park. Mr. Swanson, inspector of the A division, attended to watch the case on the part of the police. From the evidence of police-constable Chick, 171 A, it appeared that about 7 o'clock the pre v i ous (S un d a y) even. ing he saw the prisoner on the stone work of the Achilles statue in Hyde Park. He watched the prisoner for about two minutes, and then heard a piece of metal fall—the letter M. On making towards the spot the prisoner saw him coming, and jumped down and ran off. He pursued the prisoner for about 200 yards, and on taking him back to the statue and asking him what he had been about, he made no reply. He then took the prisoner to the station-house. Subsequently the letter A was found by a police-constable, and a jemmy which had been used in getting the letters off was this morning picked up by a workman. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a felony, and remanded the pri soner. SINGULAR CHARGE OE ROBBERY.—Charles Gooding, porter, in the employ of Messrs. Kirk and Co., lace manu facturers, of No. 2, Little Argyle-street, was charged with stealing the sum of £37 35., the property of his employers, and Wm. Brannen, another lad, was charged with being concerned in the robbery. The evidence of Mr. Torn Kirk, one of the firm, showed that on Friday afternoon he gave Gooding £37 3s. to take to Mr. Dobles, of 20, Bread-street, City. He afterwards ascertained that Gooding had never been there, and ab sconded with the money. Lazarus Howes, of 95 C, proved going with Mr. Kirk yesterday to Enfield, having ascertained the prisoner Good. ing had a relative there. They met the prisoners, and on taking them into 'custody and searching them he found on Gooding £6 Bs., and a new knife and two cambric handkerchiefs. Gooding said he had given Brannen some of the money, and that he slept under a haystack with a man the previous night, who had robbed him of a £lO note and £5 note, and that he had bought some new clothes for himself, and Brannen with the other. At the station Gooding said that this was not true, and that if he went to Mrs. Williams, in the Enfield-road, she would give him up the £lO and £5 note, as he had left them in her charge. On going to Mrs. Williams she said she had burnt the notes, being frightened to keep them. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoners, offering to take bail for Brannon. THAMES. DASTARDLY A6BAULT ON A. LICENSED VICTUALLER.— Frederick Callender, a young man, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with assaulting and wounding Mr. Henry Puzey, the landlord of a large tavern, called the George, in the Commercial-road. Mr. Thomas Puzey, the son of the landlord, said the pri soner and a few friends were in the house on Saturday night at 12 o'clock, while it was being closed. His father re quested the prisoner and his friends to make haste, and said it was 12 o'clock, and if they did not finish their pot of porter, he should be under the necessity of taking it away from them, The beer was then drank, and the prisoner's friend turned the pot upside down to prove that all the beer was drank. His father was showing the party out when the prisoner threw the remains of a broken glass in his face. Mr. Paget—Where did he get the broken glass. Witness—l must tell you that a glass had been acci dentally broken. My father was very seriously injured. He was struck between the eyes, and thirteen or fourteen fragments of glass have been taken out of his head. He has been in bed ever since and cannot attend the court at present.

IGROSS OUTRAGE UPON A TRADESILAN.—AIice Jack son, a respectably dressed woman, was brought before the magistrate charged with being drunk and grossly miscon ducting herself at the shop of Mr. Edward Jones, grocer, 87, Fulham road. Mr. Jones said that on Saturday night the defendant came to his shop and made a trifling purchase. Shortly after this, she said that she had dropped sixpence, when, although his shop was full of customers, he directed the floor to be swept and diligent search to be made for it. It was not however found, and complainant then told the defendant that when business was over and the shop was clear he would have a thorough search made for the six pence, and if it were found she should have it if she called again on Monday. This did not satisfy the defendant, who, sitting down on a chair, declared that she would remain there until she rotted, unless she got her sixpence. This created, a great confusion and hindrance on a Saturday night's business, and a policeman was called, who used his best exertions to get rid of the defendant, who was drunk, and wanted Mrs. Jones to give her another sixpence, which she, of course declined to do, s tricks of that sort were often tried upon tradespeople. Defendant went away for a few minutes, and upon complainant going to his shop door before he closed it, she came towards him and struck him a violent blow near the ear. He thought from the severity of the blow that she must have had some thing in her hand, for he shortly after had a swelling as large as a walnut. The constable, who saw de fendant commit the assault, took her into custody. Defendant denied that she was under the influence of liquor, and said that she wanted her sixpence, which she had dropped. She denied that she ha d struck him with anything, A policeman provekthat defendant was drunk, and that he saw her commit the assault, The inspector also pro Ned that she was drunk. She still denied it, and a man who saw her an hour after she was locked up said she was sober then. She was a very respectable woman, an upholstress, conducting the business of a Mr. Evans. Mr. Selfe (to defendant) —Whether drunk or not, y ou struck Mr. Jones a severe blow after he had done all h e could to appease you. You are fined 5s or committed for 7 days for the assault. MR, WALKER M.P. FOR BEVERLEY has lately announced his intention of resigning his seat.
