Ten days ago a great artist, in the noon of life, and with his glorious mental faculties in full power, but with the shade of physical infirmity darkening upon him, took his accustomed plaoe among friends who have this day held his pall. Some cf them had been fellow workers with him for a quarter of a century, others for fewer years ; but to know him well was to love him dearly, and all in whose name these lines are written mourn as for a brother. His monument is in the volumes of which this is one sad leaf, and in a hundred works which, at this hour, few will not remember more easily than those who have just left his grave. While society, whose every phase he has illustrated with a truth, a grace, and a tenderness hereto fore unknown to satiric art , gladly and proudly takes charge of his fame, they whose pride in the genius of a great associate was equalled by their affection for an attached friend would leave on record that they bave known no kindlier, more refined, or more generous nature than that of him who has been thus early called to his rest.— Punch. A SCOTCH LADY APPOINTED GOVERNESS OF THE YOUNG PRINCE OF SPAIN.—It will interest our Scotch friends (says the Court Journal) to learn that the safe con duct of the education of the heir to the Spanish throne has been hitherto entrusted to a Scotch lady, Madame Calderon de la Barca. Her husband was the first Spanish Minister ever sent to the great revolted colony of Mexico, and a man of rare worth and intelligence, himself an author of the highest order as a poet, and afterwards Prime Minister in Spain. He was the first Spanish Minister at Washington, U.S„ where he married Miss Fanny Inglis, daughter of Wm. Inglis, Esq., of Edinburgh, the friend and intimate of Charles Fox, the late Lord Panmure, and all the Whig party. The late Lady Duff, mother of Lord Fife, was her aunt, and she has been preceptress to the royal children of Spain for some years.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE EXECUTION OF MULLER. —This morning the preparations commenced in front of Newgate for the execution of Muller on Monday morning next, and numbers of w orkmen were employed erecting massive barriers along the Old Bailey to stay the pressure of the immense crowd which it is anticipated will assemble to witness the execution. It is not customary to commence these preparations on ordinary occasions before the Saturday morning, but the great public excitement created by the crime for which Muller will forfeit his life has induced the Sheriffs, Alderman Dakin and Alderman Bexley, to take additional precautions for the prevention of accidents, and the ent;re front of the Old Bailey will con sequently be lined with barriers from Newgate-street to Ludgate-hill. THE CASE OF GEORGE KING.—At the weekly board of governors of St George's Hospital, held on Wednesday, the following report from the medical committee of the hospital was read :—" The Medical School Committee beg to report that,:from the evidence of Mr Freeman, house surgeon, and Mr Jones, assistant apothecary (who w ere ex amined by the committee), it appears that George King was admitted into St George's Hospital on the 30th of Septem ber, about b p.m., is a state of unconsciousness. He was im mediately examined by the house-surgeon, Mr Freeman, about the faoe, head, and hands, with the view to the detec tion of an external injury, no trace of which could ke dis covered. Mr Freeman, judging the symptoms to be those of intoxication, sent for the assistant-apothecary, Mr Jones, who also, and separately examined the .man for externaT7l3,. jury, and found none; but from the odour of the breath and the matter subs , quently vomited, which smelt strongly of spirits, Mr Jones had no doubt that George King was labouring under the influence of liquor. George King remained in the hospital for two hours and a quarter, during which period he was examined separately three different times by Mr Freeman and Mr Jones. About an hour from his admission, and after vomiting, George King began to recover consciousness and at the expiration of the two hours and a quarter was so far recovered that permission was given to the policeman to remove the man from the hos pital, provided that his residence could be ascertained. Contrary to the expressed condition of this permission George King was removed from the hospital to the station by a policeman without the knowledge of either Mr Jones or Mr Freeman. The man walked out of the hospital ; and it has been given in evidence before the coroner that he walk ed to the policeEstation in King - street, Westminster.

" On the 31 of September the Semiramis frigate, the Dupleix corvette, and the advice boat Tancrede, went to the anchorage in front of the island of Hi. mesima, the place of rendezvous of the allied forces. Oa the 4th, in the evening, the admirals, after mak ing a reconnaissance on board of her Britannic Majesty's corvette Coquette, made the following dispositions for attacking the batteries, which was to be effected on the following day. " The corvettes formed a line the length of the south coast of the Strait ; the weakest vessels draw• ing the least water remaining under steam, took en eclaarpe all the batteries by enfilading the length of the north coast from Cape Kunsaki. In fine, the two admirals' frigates, the Euryalus and the Semi. ramie, advancing between the two lines, directed their fire against the batteries which appeared the most likely to offer the strongest resistance. On the sth, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, each of the vessels was at its post, and the small light squadron under steam, when the admirals made the signal to commence firing. For 20 minutes the fire of the Japanese was very brisk, but when the light squad. ron came to take part in the attack, presenting their broadsides, and opened fire with their largest artil lery, the enemy was compelled to evacuate the batteries. At half-past five all resistance had ceased. On the 6th, at daybreak, the battery situ ated facing Cape Mose Saki again opened fire on the corvettes Dupleix and Tartare. The first shot, well directed, taking the Dupleix en enfilade, the commandant De Franclieu, hastened to take a more advantageous fighting position ; this movement having been rapidly executed, while the Tartare maintained a well-sustained fire, the battery was promptly reduced to silence by the two corvettes. At eight o'clock a corps was landed, composed of 1,200 English, 350 French, and 250 Dutchmen, which took possession of the beach at the sameplace where during the previous year the landing com pany of the Semiramis and three companies of Afri can light infantry executed a brilliant and daring coup de main. The Japanese then retired preci pitately before the allied troops, who carried off 22 pieces of bronze cannon of large calibre and two mortars, and advanced to the faubourgs of Si monosaki. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the order to embark having been given, our landing com panies went to their•boats, when the English came upon an entrenched camp, defended by numerous troops and five pieces of cannon. Received with a very brisk fire of musketry, our allies threw them selves into the camp and forced the enemy to evacuate it, but this engagement cost them 10 men killed and about 30 wounded, among whom were the flag cap.. tain of Vice Admiral Kuper and 2 officers. The 7th, Bth, and 9th were employed in destroying the store houses and powder magazines, and completing the embarkation of the cannon. In the meantime, four corvettes, doubling Cape Mose Saki, compelled the evacuation of the batteries and the Isle of Hikesima. The admirals, doubling Point Kibune and entering the China Sea on board the Ccquette, found that the Strait of Simonosaki had been forced at all points. The total loss of the allies amounted to 13 men killed and 60 wounded ; the French division lost 2 men killed and 9 wounded. There were 60 bronze cannon and 3 mortars altogether embarked on board the vessels. Rear Admiral Jaurez, in giving an account to the Minister of Marine of this brilliant feat of arms, pays the highest compliment to the officers placed under his orders, as well as to the seamen. Every one rivalled another in ardour and courage, and the gunners gave proofs of the greatest ability. " On the 10th the allied divisions cast anchor before the town of Simonosaki, and a Minister from Nagato, furnished with full powers, went to the admirals to ask for the cessation of hostilities, to agree with them on the bases of a convention, of which the following are the principal dispositions : —" The opening of the .Straits of Simonosaki to the ships of all nations ; the batteries are neither to be armed nor repaired ; the allied powers are to re ceive an indemnity, of which the amount shall be eventually fixed by their representatives at Yeddo. On the 16th of September, at the moment of the departure of the courier, the admirals ex pected the ratifications, and prepared for their re• turn to Yokohama." 'We have been favoured with the following ac count of the recent fighting in Japan ; " H.M.S. Euryalus, Straits of Simonosaki, Sept. 10. " We arrived here last Sunday with all our fleet except Pelorus, Racehorse, and Kestrel, which were eft at Yokohama. On Monday wo engaged the forts, but did not close in this ship. After the forts silenced by the evening we prepared to take with our rifle company and marine battalion morning. At seven we were ready, and I ____ my company and got ashore without resist ance. Then we climbed the heights, such a fatiguing business es it was, thick covers and so steep. We wound over a hill, and came down the other side into a battery mounting about 15 large guns. We found it almost deserted, and we planted the English and French colours on the parapet. We then set to work capsizing the guns and carriages, which was done very Trickly, as we had so many met). We stayed there till about four p.m., popping away at the Japanese who came down the hill behind the battery amongst the trees. Then we were getting annoyed by some field battery and rifles, when we were ordered to advance and capture them. The Marines took the heights and w e the paddy fields of rice. We were under a sharp fire of rifles and guns till about 5 p.m. ; then we got into a road and went towards them at a gallop, firing as we advanced behind trees and shrubs. We got within a few yards, when we commenced to lose men right and left, The first I saw carried by me to the rear was Capt. Alexander, shot right through the foot and ankle. Then other men fell about dead and wounded. We pushed on and took four guns, and drove them from their stockade, which was set on fire by our men. The Japanese ran off, leaving us in possession of it. Then we retired back to our battery; then embarked again after a hard day's work. Those who have been wounded have been severely so, being from bullet and arrow wounds; some I believe to have been poisoned. The chief opposite to Prince Nagato is quite friendly, and we can land and walk about. In fact our dead are buried on that shore, and the Japanese declare they will see that no one touches the graves. The gun we have on board is about 11 inches in dia meter and 9 feet long, weighing between 6 and 7 ons. The mortar is a beauty, 13 inch, anti all ,he guns are bronze in the Inland Sea." were them next took A DEADLY ENEMY TO THE GROUSE.--Two gentle men driving from Gatehouse to. Tuft Station early in the forenoon of a day last week noticed a bird lying by the side of the road along which the wires of the magnetic tele graph run. On being picked up it was found to be a fine cock grouse, quite dead, its head having been all but severed from its body ; it had evidently been recently killed, being still warm, and the cause of death was not far to seek, the peculiar nature of the injury showing tkat the bird had while flying come in contact with one of the telegraph wires. A hen grouse was seen sitting by the do. capitated body of her lord and mate, evidently mourning and disconsolate over his sad 1 hough scarcely untimely end, but of course took to flight on the approach of footsteps. It is believed that numbers of grouse are killed in this way by the telegraph. We have been told that on one shooting in the neighbourhood of Glenluce no fewer 'than 80 birds have been picked up this season which had evidently fallen vic tims to the wire, a further proof of the price that sportsmen, as well as others, have to pay for the progress of civilisa tion.—lnverness Courier. NEW ROYALTY THEATRE.—Mr John Brougham's new piece of diablerie called " The Demon Lover,' and the popular burlesque of " Ixion, or the Man at the Wheel," are still drawing crowded houses at this pretty little theatre. The burlesque will be withdrawn after to-morrow (Satur day) to make way for Mr F. C. Barnand's extravaganzi, which will be produced on Monday evining, FRIDAY EVhNINd, NOVEMBER 11, 1864. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.-THIS DAY. To-day the Lord Chancellor, in compliance with her Majesty's Royal Commission, attended to further prorogue the sitting of the Parliament.

The meeting of the House, therefore, for the despatch of public business will take place before the usual period-- viz , the last week in January or the beginning of February. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) PORTUGAL V, PORTUGAL. -.4- Ellen Cordelia Portugal prayed for dissolution of her marriage with Joaquim Maria de Almeida Portugal, on the grounds of adultery and cruelty. Mr Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr Murphy appeared for the petitioner, and Dr Spinks and Dr Tristram for the respondent. Witnesses having been examined to prove the adultery, Ann Duckett said she had been in Captain and Mrs Por tugal's service for five years, and during that time she had seen him treat her with great violence. Lieut. Edwards, of the Royal Navy, said he had known the parties for some years. He recollected being present on one occasion when Captain Portugal took up a decanter of port wine and threw it at his wife, b3cause she objected to have the name of a Madame la Bonne mentioned at the table. Dr Spinks, at this stage of the case, said that by his advice the respondent would not oppose any further. He was only anxious in the first instance to ascertain whether the peti tioner's allegations could be supported. The learned judge granted a rule nisi. Application was made that the petitioner should have access to her children. The Judge Ordinary said an agreement concerning that might be drawn up mutually, but if there was any difficulty he would at once interfere. . _ As the petitioner was leaving the court one of her sons tenderly embraced her and wept bitterly. MOORE V. MOORE. This was a petition for judicial separation, presented by the wife on the ground of cruelty. . Mrs EtizA Moore, the petitioner, said—After our mar riage, which took place in 1819, we went to live in Trinity square, Tower-hill. My husband was a hemp and flax merchant. In 1854 we were living in Granada-place pre vious to going into the city. One morning Mr Moore took up a kettle of boiling water and threw it at me. The water did not go over me, but it greatly injured the furniture. Not feeling satisfied with that, he took up a glass sugar basin and threw it at me. On one occasion he took up an earthenware jelly mould which struck me on the head, and inflicted a severe wound. It also cut my arm very severely. The circumstance that led to this was that I had given a small juvenile party for a couple of hours to his nephew's school fellow. He questioned his nephew how he spent his time, when he (respondent) was away, and I told him I would not have the boy turned into a spy, but that if he wanted to know anything I would tell him. This greatly angered biro. and then he committed the vio lence I have spoken of. In 1855 he threw a glass sugar basin at me. I have been compelled to seek magisterial protection, but after he was bound down to keep the peace he treated me very violently. When we went to live at Chiselhurst he threatened to kill me because I objected to his bringing home men to annoy me by getting drunk. The witness then detailed a number of other acts of gross cruelty. The medical gentleman, Mr Lee, who had attended Mrs Moore for the injuries her husband had inflicted on her having been examined, Dr Mushet, a physician, stated that he had attended Mrs Moore for a serious injury to one of her eyes. The blow, which was inflicted by her husband, resulted in the loss of the sight of the organ. This was the whole of the evidence. The Judge Ordinary said he was quite satisfied that the husband had treated his wife with the grossest brutality and he granted a decree for judicial separation. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A " LADIES"' COACHMAN IN TROUBLE.—Henry Hayes, a coachman, in the employ of Mr Trinder, of the Eyre Arms, St. John's-wood, was charged, before Mr Knox, under the following circumttances : Sergeant Appleton, 26 C, said that about half-past one o'clock that morning he saw a horse attached to a brougham standing in Coventry.street. The prisoner was standing in front of the horse, a remarkably fine one, and holding it by the bit. The prisoner then raised his foot and kicked the horse several times on the shins, and afterwards on the kneecaps. He asked the prisoner why he did so, and he said the horse had fallen down and that he was punish ing it for it. As the prisoner was very drunk, and the horse became restive in =sequence of the kicks the pri soner had given it, and as the prisoner was about to strike it with the whip, he attempted to take the whip from him, when they had a struggle, in the course of which the whip was broken. He then took the prisoner into custody, and the horse and brougham were taken to the Greenyard. In answer to Mr Knox, the sergeant said the prisoner was in the employ of a livery-stable keeper, at St. John's wood, and had taken some women to "Kate Hamilton's,' and was waiting for them. The prisoner said he took some "ladies' to "Kate's,' and while doing so the horse slipped and broke one of the shafts, and pitched him off the box, hurting his head. He certainly kicked the horse, but he was excited at the time. Mr Knox said the prisoner was a person totally unfit to be entrusted with horses, and fined him 40s, or 14 days. THAMES. A RUFFlAN. — Christopher Windon, a rough and dirty looking fellow, about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with assaulting Maly Ann Nye. The complainant said she was an unfortunate girl, living at No. 8, Devonshire-street, St George-in-the-East. The prisoner was her landlord. She came home this morning at 2 o'clock, and went into the room adjoining her own to obtain a light of a young woman. The prisoner came into the room, abused her, and used very filthy language. She remonstrated with him, and he struck her twice on the head with his fists. She went into his room to get out of the way. He followed her. She took up the tongs from the fireplace and threatened to cut him down if he did not leave her alone. He said "Will you take up the tongs to hit me ?" and she put them down again. He immediately took up the tongs again and thrust the end of them into her left eye, whieb inflamed it and caused it to be swollen, as it now appeared. She went to her window overlooking the street, and called out " Murder!" and " Police I James Fry, a pollee-constable, No. 481 K, said he took the prisoner into custody. The woman was in a very bad state, and crying. lUr Partridge—Do you know anything of the house ? Witness —Yes. It in a common brothel, and has been so for years.

THE PRINCE OF WALES AT LANCASHIRE,—We ara enabled to state, on the authority of a letter received from Lord Stanley, that the Prince of Wales has announced his intention of visiting the Earl of Derby next week at Knowsley, where he will probably remain from Tuesday to Saturday. Ills Royal Highness may probably visit Liverpool on the 18th. Mr Laurence, the newly elected Mayor of Liverpool, announced yesterday to the Town C o uncil of that boroug h h tat he ha received a note from the Earl of Derby, to the effect that the Prince and Princess of Wales would visit Liverpool next week, probably on Thursday or Friday, but that the Prince was desirous that the visit should be a private one, and that no addresses should be presented. The arrangements, therefore, have been left in the hands of the Mayor s —Manchester Guar- dian. A violent fire broke out a few days ago at Nasy (Doubs), and in spite of the assistance which soon arrived from all the neighbouring villages, speedily de s troyed 21 homes, with a great quantity of farm produce. The loss is estimattA at 500,000 f. The Emperor, on hearing of the disaster, sent immediately to tho prefect a Elllll of 5,000 f. to be distributed among the sufferers. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.-THURSDAY. The third day of_ the meeting, with the programme of nine races, including the Autumn Steeplechase, attracted a larger attendance than either of the preceding days. The first race, the Scurry Nursery, was set for 12.15, but more than 25 minutes was cut to waste before a start could be effected. This was a vexatious delay, as intervals of only 20 minutes were allowed between the events for decis;on. Of the ten which came to the post for the Nursery, Pt °visor was most in demand at 100 to 30, while 100 to 8 was offered against Nu, who won a ood race by a neck from Viola. The Handicap Plate of 40 soya, for which 9 ran, produced a very hot favourite in The Beadle. Slight odds were at one time laid on him, and the result proved it the good thing the betting indicated, as he won by a length after making all the limning. The most interesting event of the day, the Autumn Steeplechase, tempted 9 r unners, and was a chapter of accidents. The favourite fell after going about three-quarters of a m'le, and G. Stevens in the general melee which ensued was repeatedly knocked down, and his chance thus extinguished. The finish, after the various mishaps, was confined to the three placed, although Creole's success was never in doubt for the last half-mile. The Beadle won the' now race ; and the other events, which were only of passing interest, were not decided uutil nearly (leak, Sul joi:ed are details of the running:-- The Scurry Nursery (Handicap) of 40 soya, for two-yr olds ; winners extra.

The lot ran in a body to the turn into the straight, Naples holding a alight lead of Godmersham, next to whom were Lozenge and Viola.

After a delay, occasioned principally by the owner of Oulton Lowe being at the start giving orders to his jockey, they were well started, butin a few strides The Beadle, next the rails, showed in front, made the whole of the running, and won by a length ; half a length separated the second and third, and a length divided the third and fourth ; Oulton Lowe was fifth, and the rest beaten off, Ellerton pulled up lame at the distance, The Liverpool Autumn Steeplechase (Handicap) of 100 sous, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 soya each; winners extra.

The dense mist which prevailed prevented our reporter seeing how the horses proceeded on the far side of the course, where it was alleged by the rider of Cheerful Boy that Creole had gone the wrong course; but the objection was subsequently withdrawn. At starting Creole took the lead being followed over the first flight of hurdles by Freshman' Light Heart lying third, end the rest eltogether following in a cluster to the artific!al brook opposite the stand, which Wf33 first taken by Creole, having Freshman at his side, Cheerful Boy going over third, Light Heart fourth, Mis t.-,ke fifth, Philosopher sixth, Princess Dagmar next, the last two being Marble Hill and Rook the Gardener, the lat ter of whom nearly came down, rid lost a considerable dis tance of ground after alighting.

The latter, however, fell three-quarters of a mile from home, where Creole increased his lead, having only Cheerful Boy and Rook the Gardener in pursuit. Approaching the distance Creole was eased, which enabled Cheeriul Boy to get nearer at the distance, but he was easily beaten by six lengths; Rook the Gar deter was beaten nearly a distance, and noth'ng else was in the straight when the judge left his box.

Cutaway was scratched for the Liverpool Cup at 11 50 yesterday morning. A remarkable case was decided in the Rolls Court yesterday afternoon. It appears that a Mrs Gedney of Candlesby Hall, Lincolnshire, was in possession of pro perty which, if she had no children, passed to a gentleman named Smith and others. In 1851 sho was said to have been delivered of a girl in London. In 1857 she died, and then her husband was told that the child was not that of his wife, but that Mrs Gedney had come up to London and induced a Dr. Goss and his wife to procure a new-born baby from a lying-in huspital. She went through the form of a confinement, and afterwards passed off the child thus obtained as her own. Some very remarkable evidence was given against the plaintiff. The jury retumed a verdict for the defendant, but expressed a hope that the interests of the innocent child (the plaintiff) would be taken care of by some members of the family. The woman Vigreux, whose murder we have mentioned, was 32 years of age, and a native of the neighbourhood of Dunkirk. About 10 years ago she mar ried a hairdresser named Mage, but did not long live with him on good terms. He soon became aware of her bad chai actor, which rendered him highly indignant. The child who was murdered with her was not his. Serious suspicions having arisen against the husband, he has been arrested. Vengeance is supposed to have ben the motive ut the crime.

MILLER, Chief Cashier. Nov. 10, 1864. DEATH OF MR. HUDSON GURNEY,—On Wed ne scisy afternoon expired Mr. Hudson Gurney, a gentleman of great wealth and standing in Norfolk, and perhaps the leading member of the house of Gurney. Mr Gurney had been for some time in failing health, and had for several years past lived in complete retirement at his seat at Keswick, near Norwich. He was born in 1775, and was consequently at the period of his decease in his 90th year. Mr Gurney outlived his generation, and may be pro nounced a forgotten celebrity; but when Canning was co quetting with the Duke of Wellington, when Brougham was denouncing the procrastination and doubts of Eldon, when Huskisson was developing to an unappreciative world the doctrine of free trade, Mr Hudson Gurney was a man of mark in the House of Commons, in which ho had a seat for many years as member for Nerpart. .His opinion was especially respected in matters of trade and finance, and any suggestions which he migh t be inclined to make were not regarded at all lightly. Ho pcseessed a fortune which was estimated roughly at X 2,000, 01, 0, for he was a partner in the great brewing firm of Barclay and Perkins, Ilr Gurney displayed a lavish liberality when appeals were made to him for charitable and other purposes, and in this respect his death will cause a void in the district which wil not be easily made good.
