LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11, 1863. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). 'COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir. P. 'Wilde and a Special Jury.) CROWTHER V. CROWTHER AND GRIFFITHS. The Queen's Advocate, Mr. Huddleston, and Dr. Spinks, were for the petitioner, Sergeant Parry and Dr. Fresham for the respondent, and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Har man for the co-respondent. The Queen's Advocate stated the case. The petitioner Mr. William Crowther charged his wife with adultery with the co-respondent Mr. 'William Heckford Griffiths who denied the allegation. The respondent, in ad dition to denial of her adultery pleaded that her husband had deserted her wilfully, and left her without adequate maintenance. Damages were laid at £5,000. Mr. Crowther was an extensive tenant farmer, renting about 1,000 acres of land when he married the respondent, who was the daughter of a wealthy retired tradesman, residing at Hesler, near Hounslow, named Sherborn. The mar riage was solemnised in May, 1855. Mr. Crowther, at the time, resided at Somerville Aston, in Gioucestershire, and there was considerable desparity between the ages of the parties, the petitioner being turned 40, and the respondent only 18. There was one child the issue of the mar riage, which was dead. The parties lived on terms of the most perfect harmony until the intimacy. Mr. Crowther and his wife came to London to see thu Ex hibition, and took lodgings in Grafton-street, and were ac companied by a female friend of Mrs. Griffiths In May, 1862, Mr. Crowther's suspicions were aroused by the constant attendance of Mr. Griffiths at his place, and his coming to London whenever Mrs. Crowther came. On the 27th of May, 1862, Mr. Crowther went with his wife to her father's at Hounslow with the co-respondent. In 1859 Mr. Crowther received a considerable accession to his property, and purchased Weddington-hall and the estate, near Leamington, in Warwickshire, where the parties went to reside during the rebuilding of his house at Somerville, Aston. Mr. Griffiths was a solicitor, who lived at Chipping-Camden Gloucestershire, and who was in extensive practice, having inherited a very large business from his father. Mr Griffiths was what was called a sporting solicitor, and Mr. Crowther, who kept his hunters, and whose residence was distant from Chipping Camden about eight miles, formed an acquaintance with Mr. Griffiths in the pursuit of field sports. On the 30th of April, 1862, an altercation took t ilace between them, and they agreed to separate. Subsequently she left her home, and it was not until the November following that it was discovered, through a female servant of Mrs. Griffiths, that Mrs. Crowther had been living with Mr. Griffiths, at his house, up to the 25th of June. The learned counsel then read letters from Mts. Crowther to her husband to show that they were living on the most affectionate terms. So far from Mrs. Crowther having been left without sufficient means, Mr. Crowther allowed her £6OO a year, which she actually received during the time she was living in the house of her paramour. Since the marriage Mrs. Crowther's father died, leaving £40,000 to his widow, which at her decease was to go to her abso lutely, in the event of her having no children. The learned counsel concluded by a very earnest and eloquent appeal to the jury to mark their sense of the conduct of the co-respondent, and to show by the amount of damages they awarded that parties could not with impunity invade domestic peaco and produce misery where only harmony and happiness had previously existed. _ . After the examination of several witnesses, the jury re. ,urned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages, ;',1,000. Decree nisi, with costs. •---- SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and a Common Jury.) SINGULAR FALSE IMPRISONMENT CASE.-BOLTON V. BRYANT , This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages in a false imprisonment case, plaintiff being an attorney out of practice, and defendant a sculptor. Mr. Joyce, for the plaintiff, said that his client had been concerned, for the defendant, in some proceedings in the Lord Mayor's Court. Defendant accused plaintiff of steal ing some money and a ring, and the result was that plain tiff was given into custody, and figured at the station house in the iron enclosure known as the dock. The acting inspector found that the defendant had been drinking, and that his account of the affair would not warrant the detention of the plaintiff, who was accordingly discharged. For the unreasonable conduct of defendant, plaintiff now sought damages. Plaintiff was called and said there was not the slightest ground for charging him with the robbery. He had known defendant for about four years, and believed his income to be about £4OO per annum. The learned Secondary having summed up, the jury awarded plaintiff £lO damages. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

THE GREAT JEWEL ROBBERY IN THE STRAND. —A reward of £2OO has been offered for the capture of the burglars who broke into the premises of Mr. Boore, the extensive dealer in antique and other jewellery in the Strand, on the night of the Bth December. The property stolen consisted of diamond rings of great rarity and value, earrings, bracelets, watches, mosaics, gold chains, cups, and flagons ; all of whi.;ll, in addition to its intrinsic worth, was nearly priceless on the score of antiquity.

THE BAItTLOW HILLS. —At the recent meeting of the ArebaHlegical Institute Mr. Purnell, the secretary, read the correspondence that had passed with the Great Eastern Railway Company in reference tolhc contemplated destruction of these famous grave mounds, The engineer in chief in one of his letters deprecated the idea that it was ever his intention to injure the hills ; but as in the same letter he confeescs his design to bring, the new line between two of them, we fail to see his meaning. The institute, awaiting the plans and sections that are to be laid before then' by the youlPanr, took no action in the matter. We may, however, observe that the man who can bisect two adjacent tumuli without injuring them is able to perform a greater engineering feat than has ever yet . been accom plished. M.

PANCRAS AND THE TOTTENHAM-COURT-ROAD CHAPEL. —Mr. Thomas Curtis, the sanitary inspector of St. Pancras parish, applied this morning to Mr. Knox, on behalf of the vestry of St. Pancras, for a summons against Mr. Nathan Woolf Jacobson, of Oxford-street, for unlawfully removing the remains of certain bodies which have been interred in the ground attached to Tottenham-court-road Chapel (once known as Whitfield's Tabernacle), without the license of one of her M jesty's Secretaries of State, as required by the Burial Act, in respect to all places not con st crated. It appears that some years ago the greater portion of the burial ground was levelled and paved over, but a part was left undisturbed till lately when the persons having the control of the place disposed of some of it to Mr. Jacobson for building purposes. In excavating the ground for the purpose of preparing the foundations several coffins have been exposed to view, and a large quantity of human re mains thrown up. A good deal of excitement has been caused in the neighbourhood, more especially as in 1856 a riot took place in the same ground through a number of men being employed in destroying the graves with the view of levelling the ground. The matter has been brought before :the vestry of the St. Pancras parish, in consequence of the complaints of the inhabitants of John-street, Totten ham-court-road, who feel much annoyed at the proceed.• ing, and in consequence they instructed Mr. Curtis to apply for a summons against Mr. Jacobson. Mr. Knox granted the summons, URGING A DOG TO ATTACK A CONSTABLE.—PoIydor I'olin, a French cutler, residing at 14, Newport-market, was charged before Mr. Knox with unlawfuily setting on and urging a dog to attack Police- constable George Henry Mayhew, 27 C. Mayhew said that about two o'clock that morning he saw the prisoner with several other persons in Danman street, St. James's. The Prisoner had a dog of the bulldog breed with him, and set it on an orangeman. He (Mayhew) was called up by the man to interfere, and as soon as he did so the prisoner got over some railings and set the dog on him, urging it to bite him. The dog than flew at him and bit his hand, and he had been obliged to go to the Charing cross-hospital to have it cauterised. , The prisoner in his defence, sail the dog was playing at :he time, and flew at the constable. Mr. Knox asked the constable whether the dog flew at him in protection of its master, or whether prisoner set the dog on him. Mayhew said the prisoner urged the dog to attack him, and he was badly bitten. Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 20a. or seven days in default. THAMES. DEAD DRUNK. — William Hind, a labourer, was brough before Mr. Partridge, charged with being insensibly drunk in the West India Dock, Blackwatl. John Warrington, a constable in the employ of the East and West India Dock Company, stated that he found the prisoner lying on one of the quays, close to the water's edge in the West India Dock last night. The prisoner was quite insensible, and smelt very strongly of rum, of which he had imbibed a large quantity, and was to all appearance dead when found. He had great difficulty in restoring the pri soner. He had ascertained the prisoner was at work on board the Fusileer, a wrecked ship, which was brought back to discharge cargo yesterday, and spirits were landed from the vessel. The prisoner, in defence, said he was very sorry indeed. The rum he drank got the better of him. Mr. Partridge—You take it like a glutton, and have nearly fallen a sacrifice to your propensity for drink. You are fined .ss, HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—John Grffiths, a seaman, who appeared to have been terribly ill used, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. Archer, a police constable, No. 101 H, stated that the prisoner was knocked down ani robbed last night by two lads who were in custody, and would be brought up On the charge of felony, when the drunk and disorderly cases were disposed of. The poor fellow was asking his way to his lodgings, and the boys, under pretence of showing him the way, led him astray, ill-used him, and robbed him. Mr. Partridge regretted very much the sailor had been ill-used and robbed. He should discharge the prisoner. Dennis Macarthy and James Calvert, boys, were then charged with assaulting and robbing Griffiths in \Voilelose square last night. They knocked him down and kicked him, and robbed him of his cap, scarf, and 38. or 4s. in money. The prisoners, while running away, were cap tured. Griffiths said his ship would sail to-morrow. Mr. Partridge sentenced the prisoners to two months' imprisonment with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. SERIOUS ROBBERY OF A FAMILY.—Tames Ryan, a youth of eighteen, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a garden-full of linen from the model-lodging, build ings, Fulham-road. Thomas Sanks, a journeyman plasterer, with a wife and family, said that on Friday last the linen, which had been washed, was hung out in the garden at the rear of the house. At about half-past seven in the evening he had occasion to go into the garden, and then saw the linen safe. He immediately afterwards went out, and as he did so he maw the prisoner at the end of the entranee, who was making some remark about the model lodging -houses to some others, as though to divert attention. Witness thought prisoner's conduct so suspicious that he would have gone back to tell his wife to take the linen in, but was so pressed for time as to be unable to do so. When he returned home at nine o'clock he found the garden had been stripped of this linen. Prosecutor here enumerated a vast number of articles of clothing indispensable to the cleanliness and comfort of a family. Last night prosecutor saw the prisoner in company with one of the same boys he had with him on Friday, and gave him into custody. Ann Consahause said she saw two lads come from the direction of the garden on the night the clothes were stolen. Mary Ann Gowan said that on Friday night the prisoner was near the prosecutor's ; and asked her the way to the model lodgings. Prisoner—l was not there at all that night. Wm. Hunt, 107 B—l took prisoner, and I found this dress (not identified) tucked up in the rafters of the house where he lives. I asked his father if he knew anything about it, and he said he did not. Joseph M'Grath proved seeing the prisoner near the garden on the night in question. He observed them last night and called the prosecutor. Mr. Selfe—ls there anything known of the prisoner? Dennis, the gaoler--He has been in custody before, but has not been convicted. Prisoner—Well, I was here, but I was not done any. thing to. Prisoner was remainded. MARKETS--.This Day. MARK-LANE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's market were very moderate. Good and fine samples moved off steadily at full prices; otherwise the trade was dull, at about Monday's currency. The supply of foreign wheat on sale was by no means extensive. The demand for all descriptions, however, was in a sluggish state, but no alteration took place in the currency. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates. The supply of barley on sale was large, and the trade ruled heavy, at about previous quotations. Malt sold heavily, at barely late rates. With oats the market was very mo d erately supplied. The trade, however, was far from active; nevertheless prices ruled firm. Beans met a slow sale, or former terms. For peas, the demand ruled inactive, at late rates. In flour only a moderate business was transacted at pre vious currencies. ARRIVALS TIIIS WEER. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

AU through the even• ing of Wednesday the sporting houses were besieged with inquirers and tipplers, and, there'fore, it was not extra ordinary that when four o'clock, the hour named, arrived the approaches to London-bridge Station, the place named, wis crowded with those who meant to go and those who wished to go, and those who looked upon the occasion in the way that they look at a Lord Mayor's show, or a great fire. A number of policemen of the M division kept a line to the great gate of the South-Eastern Railway, through the wicket of which those who had the money for the tickets were allowed to pass. Notwithstanding the vigilance of the police at the doors, despite the necessity of showing the tickets before being admitted to the platform, although every possible check was established, not a tew fellows unprovided with the essen tial pasteboard managed to get into or about the carriages. Some of them, it was said, had even got cn the line at New_ cross, and thence walked up, attempting when they reached the terminus to take an empty carriage by storm ; some others had ensconced themselves during the previous even ing in some of the spare carriages lying at the station, biding their time patiently until the hour appointed. But the railway officials were more than a match for these clever patient people ; they instituted a thorough search under the seats, on the roofs, and under the very carriages, the result of their scrutiny being the discovery of some 20 roughs, whose ingenuity in eluding the vigilance of the ticket-col lectors certainly deserved a better fate, Never was a secret of such a kind better kept, and the wide-awakes who "knew the exact spot to a yard," found themselves neck deep in the mire, after a fashion they little calculated on. The cut-purse family, wiping the frosty icicles from their noses in the west when they should have been looking out for squalls in the south-eastern horizon. The delightful result was that the "congregation" of the fistio art passed easily through the thin dark line of weary and worn snapper badgers. The arrangements of the "conveyancers" were most excel lent; everybody was comfortably "taken in and done for," whilst the presence of the ring constable volunteers sent the foot of authority down with a crash upon all attempts at " rigging the market." In fact, one would think that we were all going to see an early ploughing match, whilst the " Yahoo" business didn't rise as high as the song of an old tea-kettle. And that ugly element was wise in the course it was constrained to adopt—had it done otherwise there was force enough present to have brought every atom of it to grief. Both the men reached the ground in good time, and both had their fair quantity of supporters, who would persist in blocking up each carriage door so that the entrance of a breath of air was almost next to an impossibility. The train consisted of 30 carriages, in each of which, to use a theatrical phrase, there was not standing room. We were " horsed" by two powerful engines, and, at about a quarter-past six we glided out of the station without the least confusion, and with the greatest regularity in the world. The morning - stars were just beginning to show signs of that glimmering faintness which indicates the near approach of daybreak, Once the train goP in motion, not a sound was to be heard save the outburst of some occasional hearty laugh at the jocularity going on inside. But even this was of the mildest possible character, and there was an entire absence of that reprehensive boiste rous outpouring which has too often awoke the slumbering people along the route, filling their half-dreamy imagina• tions with the horror that the Philistines were veritably upon them, We were more than half afraid that the new plan of paying at the doors would have been productive of the direst confusion. Fortunately for us, any mystery had been so well ravelled that there was really nothing to pro duce interruption. Had there been a regular mob gather ing, we are strongly inclined to the opinion that not one of the "excursionists" would have been able to have reached the ticket window. However, as things turned out so far, we raised our hands and felt grateful. On casting a quiet running glance round the interior of each carriage, before we started we found the genuine patrons of our national manly "trial by battle" in very strong force indeed, We heard one and all join in a universal chorus of satisfac tion at the way in which we had been got off. On and on we rolled through the fair county of Kent, and as the gray dawn of morning rose eastward on our track the mild fresh breeze played upon our half-asleep faces, waking us up to a sense of life and activity that was as agreeable as it was invigorating. The morning was beautiful and mild, and way now to our left the bright blue tinged light of early day could be seen breaking gently and softly, widening and lengthening as it imperceptibly came, in a manner that would have excited the warm admiration of a Claude or a Turner. Still on and onward we go through deep cuttings and over high embankments; anon the iron horses slacken in their speed, and the next instant the reverberating sounds of our whirling wheels tell us we are passing through the bowels of mother earth. On emerging from the tunnel into the open country our ears were saluted with voices that unmistakeably marked the owners as denizens of the aristocratic regions west of Re gent-street. Speculation made itself heard, and 6 and 7 to 4 on the Benicia Boy seemed to be the chorus of the song. Just as we could distinguish houses and buildings suffi ciently clear the train glided noiselessly into Reigate Junction, where we were "regaled" by the sight of a strong covey of early birds belonging to the Surrey County Constabulary. It is needless to say that they were not there on our invitation, we considered them more free than welcome, and following the prudent and time honoured examples of those philosophic predecessors of theirs, Masters Dogberry and Verges of blessed memory, we stole ourselves out of their company with all possible alacrity and despatch. A thin white frosty veil of mist floated over the landscape as we again got in full swing, whilst the leaden coloured clouds, as they lay heavy and motionless overhead, gave us cause for grave anxiety, but as our fears were rising to an uncomfortable grade on our nervous thermometer, in we rushed to another tunnel. When we issued forth we made a series of weather wise surveys all round us, and were joyed to find the dark curtain lifting evenly and gradually up on our right, whilst on the opposite side the bright broken patches encouraged our most earnest hopes. Another turn of the steam-valve, and away we sped at over forty miles an hour; wood and dell, hamlet and village, and cottage and mansion seemed to fly by like the magic of the kalei doscope, and the question of the journey's end took the place of other topics for the moment. A few miles further on and we shot by Tunbridge Wells. At length we drew up in a secluded and well-selected spot, where we got out, yawned, stretched ourselves, and gulped in the sharp morning air most voraciously. On account of the ex treme softness of the ground it was some time before a decent place could be found. At this hour, about a quarter past nine o'clock, tho sun was shining out as magnificently as on a fine May morning, and as we toiled some mile and a half up a steep clayey hill, the 'stuff' was taken out of many. At length a chosen spot was taken possession of, and the ring pitched. King first tossed in his castor amid loud cheers, and was immediately fol lowed by Heenan, who was similarly received. Colours were now unfolded on both sides, and the combatants began to dress. The choice of ground was won by Heenan, and then came the referee. Some wrangling here took place in respect to that functionary, during which the betting went on with offers at 40 to 20, lee. on Heenan, but there did not seem to be any takers. Confusion now became the ruling element, wasting away precious time on the top of a hill that could be seen for 20 miles around. There were the men and their seconds ready, while the referee was ex pected to come from the clouds. Three quarters of an hour was spent in this way before matters were.finally closed, and the referee originally proposed was ultimately agreed to. Heenan was the first to exhibit, to the loud cheers of his admirers, and was instantly followed by King, for whom another salvo rose up from the throats of his own party. Exactly at 10 o'clock the men were delivered at the scratch, shook hands, and prepared to commence The manner of the men on their entrance to the ring was thoroughly characteristic. King had a serious and thought ful aspect, and gazed about the ground with a careful scrutiny that foreshadowed the anxiety which throughont the fight he never ceased to exhibit. Heenan, on the other hand, entered with a light and jaunty step, briskly shook hands stith his opponent, and at once turned his attention to the choice of the ground. The popular feeling in favour of Heenan was manifestly increased, by the superior hearti ness and confidence of his bearing. Many extraordinary wagers were offered and accepted, " 20 to 7" being a fre quent cry. At a few minutes past 10 o'clock the ring was fairly cleared, the spectators were subdued into comparative tranquillity, and the real work of the day began, The following is an account of the " rounds," as Put' fished in a special edition of Bell's Life : Round 1. Heenan stood forward and made left, both trying to measure their distance; some a nt i sparring ensued, an exchange or two, when Heen a . n _ ft r arm, play with his and closed, grasping King by the neck with his o if old his and put on the old. fashioned hug, continuing_ to ring _ a i a n man in such a way that the referee entered the strictly cautioned him not to repeat that operation simi lar manner. 2. King made the fightin as soon scratch. There was some attempt at coatainhe came to the tering by both, t and very of the most homely description , /la-3 : wil aga in, aud threw pl him Heenan rushed on King, got the like a sack of malt on the :me:: hug the men being lifted Heenan was found to be bleeding from the mouth. First blood was claimed and allowedto to th le eir tn w g oo • prekr ( a C itn h e e e e wa r ri s ii : esat, will, and 3. Both men bent d cams up with great ca ution, trying to when after some hard exchanges Heenan again p u t the hug on, and threw King on the ropes with an awful spank, that bowed in every stake in the ring. More cheering for Heenan, wit h counter cheers of a rather hopeless tone from King's corner. All was now go ing dead against King, except the first blood. 4, si ng came up with a" mouse" rather visibly under his left eye. They went to work in this round in a manner that s howed the indications of the slashing business that was to follow. From Heenan again running iu for the hug alter fighting King to his (Heenan's) corner, grasping him and throwing him very forcibly, it was obvious that he mea nt to fight nothing but a wrestling fight; the fists tz; be 49f } 631 71 2 107 j 8 1061 5i 1011 1124 123 I only very subordinate agents in the business. This called forth loud expressions of disapprobation. 5. Both men came up smiling at one another, and, after feinting, King took his distance as quick as lightning, and let fly a tremendous right-handed thunderbolt against Heenan's left ear, that went " thud" all over the ring, as it a person had struck a bale of cloth with a cudgel— deafening cheers for King. Scarcely had the sounds sub sided, when King, following up his advantage with terrible meaning in it, launched a fellow on Heenan's temple, cross countered, and tried to follow it up, but fell short in his delivery, his right being out of distance ; Heenan, in de spair, hugged again, and threw his antagonist. (Tremen dous cheering.) 6. The "slogging" business began at this round, There was no science, nor did there seem to be an attempt at it. Both men went in ding •dong, struck out wildly, like dray men quarreling over their beer, when Heenan finished the round by again getting King's nob in chancery and put ting the hug on, which he used for a throw. What few hits were exchanged were not of the slightest moment in their effects upon the issue of the coatest. 7. Give and take, as our grandfathers did, now became the order of the day, and these great heavy men lunged at one another as if not only £2,000, but 2,000 of the best lives in Britain were depending upon the winner. A few seconds' more hammering, when Heenan again was obliged to fly to his favonzite embrace, caught King and cross-buttocked him so fearfully that the man must have left his own im press upon the earth. People actually held their breath for a moment, and felt relieved when the men were carried to their corners. During this round King gave Heenan a rattling sledger on the nese with his right, and brought the blood down in a stream (cheers and counter cheers,) 8. On "Time" being called, both were up and actively at work. No reconnoitring, or backing, or ducking to get away. Toe the mark was now the word ; some rapid coun tering took place. Heenan went in, when the hugging mechanism was brought into action, but this time failed woe f u lly, for King turned the tables, and floored his &ail goufst, (Immense cheering for Tom, and cries of " He'll win yet.") 9. Both sharp to time. King let out his right, and siruck Heenan tremendously about the het.d. Heenan closed and threw King again. 10. Exprrsi speed had now began in earnest, King lad ing out heavily with both fists, closing, and after a straggle was thrown. 11. Heenan began to show the pace was telling on him. Coming up, he caught and threw King very h eav il y. It sounded like oxen falling out of a cart. 12. Not more than a minute, Heavy exchanges about the head, and at the close King threw Heenan heavily. (Loud cheering for King.) 13. Some heavy countering about atheshbeeafodr. on e both sides, when Heenan closed, throwing King 14. Heenan met King at the very outset with a fearful punch from the latter's right hand; some sharp hitting, and another heavy fall for King. Notwithstanding all this throwing advantage Heenan seemed to show nearly as much distress as King. 15. It was now plainly seen that the rate of going was telling powerfully on both men. Heenan showed unmis• takeable symptoms of uncommon rapid "travelling," and the balance, notwithstanding all his wrestling good luck, was beginning,to draw against him. In this round both men went as if at parish bell practice. After some long swinging raps on each side, Heenan shot out his right hand with such terrific effect that King actually staggered and reeled like a drunken man from the force of the blow, ultimately falling into one of the seats in his corner. It was thought that he had ruined tail, and would not face the storm again. This:was the first genuine knock down blow, and it certainly sounded and looked like something strong enough to shake the foundations of any structure in the shape of humanity. Immense cheering then must have made the adjoining valleys reverberate in echo. IG. ht this round Heenan began to show that fortune was gliding fast from him. He came up with a dreadful eye after the last round, whilst the blood flowed copiously from all over his face. King went in upon some more country practice au natural, when Heenan sent him down after a savage struggle. 17. In this round the excitement became so tremendous that all regulation about inner ring, or any ring, was swept to the winds. Men rushed madly about and yelled with the frantic energy of despair. King's huge Cyclopean blows about Heenan's head--especially the temples—so swelled up the parts that he began to look in a sad plight. His eye was in a frightful state, as King had made several sudden successful shoulder hits with his right upon it. The latter stood well behind his fist, and he certainly did not let theta live the life of idleness. He became so exasperated at the awful huggings to which he had been welcomed and treated, that it could be seen he went in to batter the enemy to pieces. As he faced his man, he seemed by his firm, com pressed lips, to say to himself " King and courage" must be my motto after this day. He too looked so far gone that it seemed extremely doubtful whether he would be able to " toe" again to the call of the referee. But he revived won derfully, and so raised the expectations of his friends that the people swayed to and fro in a dreadful state of excite ment. From this to the 24th and last round, one was so much like the other and so short that it would be utterly impossible to detail them. King went ahead in a perfect gallop, and on time being called for the 25th round, the sponge was thrown up by Heenan's seconds in token of his defeat. He was dreadfully punished, and should never have been permitted to have passed beyond the 21st round. Tho cheers that made the " welkin ring" were such as cannot possibly be imagined. King presented no visible marks of punishment except the "mouse on his eye." Such was the end of the fight, after nearly 40 minutes of hard, quick, desperate fighting, between two of the most powerful men that probably have ever entered the ring. It was fought out fairly and truly to the bitter end, neither man taking any advantage of the other. No hand was laid upon them but that of their own seconds from the mo ment they both entered the ring until the American was laid senseless, bruised and beaten out of all semblance of the man who in the pride of manhood and strength had stood there only half an hour before. There were great cheers as King won, to which for a few moments he was very deaf, for the palm had been rapid, and, all-powerful as he was, the heavy falls had shaken his vitality, and the giant who had strode into the ring an overmatch for all could scarcely close his fingers round the glass of water which was to keep him from fainting. Yet there must be a soul of goodness even in things evil, for the first really conscious thought that flitted through his mind was a wish to make friends with his late antagonist, and as ho said it he lunged heavily through the crowd of his admirers to a little knot of curious lookers-on, amid whom what seemed the corpse of the re doubtable Heenan now /ay. Sayers was with him7and kept with him; but better advice was needed than any pugilist ought to be called upon to give; for Heenan, though not nearly so much punished as when he fought at Farnborough, was e'.idently much more injured. Ho was pulseless at the wrists, and even over the heart the palpitation was fluttering, faint, and low. Yet he had not fainted. It was the insensibility of exhaustion, the sheer want of vitality, though almost till he collapsed so suddenly he was supposed to be the winner. One man was trying to heave up his immense inanimate form, while another strip ped the wet drawers, stained deep with his own blood, from the stunned athlete. There was a dreadful significance in the way in which he was hauled about limb by limb. as warmer clothes were dragged over his unconscious form, like dressing a corpse. Yet no one seemed to mind much, for all were crowding round the victor, who, with very little signs of punishment about his face, came gaily up In the train back to town. Heenan was left with his seconds v the field he had fought to win.

Extraordinary Bigamy Case at SunderlaTici: At Sunderland, on Wednesday, John Grieve, lately assistant civil engineer to the River Wear Commissioners, was charged with bigamy. The history of the man is somewhat peculiar. In Sep tember, 1856, he was married to Matilda Blench, at Bishopton Church, describing himself as a professor of mathematics, named John Dixon Grieves, and the son of a barrister. He was in fact at this time engaged at the Tyne Docks. After living with his wife a month he left her, and was tot heard of till May, 1862, when he wrote from the Glasgow Gaol, asking for a few postage stamps and some letters to comfort him. He soon afterwards obtained his appointment under the Wear Commissioners. While employed thus in Sunderland, he called at the shop of a Miss Waldie, and introduced himself by saying he knew the late Mr. Waldie, banker of Kelso, and asked if she was any relation. A few days afterwards, Miss Walaie theyreeeived a lett er propos i ng marr i age , i n w hi ch the Three t e d ;L a y and d afterwards, defendant said h e had never met with any on e h e to 2 could love b ut h er. After a few inquiries she c.'n s end,were he loftmarried tcor Liverpoole n October 3. ob tain a situation, and wrote several times asking for money, which was always sent to him, till the unfortunate lady di scovered that he had been previously married. He was apprehended in Ire land, and on Dec. 3 hi s second wife received the following letter from him, d ated from theS under Sunder land prison :—" Through the g reat goodness of Nit. Stainsby I am perm itted to drop you a few - lines . How stratge a nd m y ster ious are th e ways of Pro vidence. Little did I know the last Sabbath that I spent with you that you would be the means of sending me here. I look to the future with trem bling despair. Good heavens! what a situation I ani in. The sight of a green field and the great silent sky above it-0 1 why should it be denied mortal man But there is a day coming in the history of man kind—that grand universal inquest when the secrets of all hearts shall be laid open, it will be known then how I vies so treacherously betrayed by the Blenches, they drugged my drink and made me quite stupid. They had the licence and the ring prepared. I have no more recollection of that fatal day than I have of the deluge that destroyed the earth. The clergyman when he saw that I was stupid with drink, said he had committed a most illegal act in reading the service. The Blenches knew this right well, and they have no claim upon me. I am truly sorry for you ; but you must rememter twat you are and will .be my wife in the sight of heaven. I married you with my will but never any other. I am heavy-hearted, lonesome, and sad. I do not know what to do a long dreary winter in prison. New Year's Day was the day appointed to com mence my situation in Liverpool. Oh, what a change! lam very hungry! For the days that are departed will yeu not condescend to send. me a small piece of something to eat ?" A number of witnesses were called to prove that the statement of his being intoxicated at the wedding was entirely untrue, and he was committed for trial. Bank of England Return,•—Last Even!ng.
