COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.) HOPLEY V. HOPLEY.-EXTRAORDINARY CASE. Mr Karslake, 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 had 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 Karslake, in stating the case, said that the parties wore married in 1855, the petitioner being about 20, and the respondent 36 years old. The respondent had been educated for en usher, and was a person 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 umortunate. After the marriage they resided at 22, Grand Parade, East b-,urne, 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 he did not intend to cohabit with her until she had received such training az his hands as would qualify her to discharge her duties as the mother of her children. He said he wished to make her a model wife. While she was pregnant with her first child he com 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 th© time of his libera- Lion, as he 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 protided 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 hav;ng caused the idiotcy of one of their children by her mismanagement. Mrs Fanny Hopley, the petitioner, was examined by Dr Romley. She said that her maiden name was Cobb, and that her father was a gentleman of independent means Rho 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, 1856, she was pregnant, and being angry at some mistake she made in the lessons he had sot her, he 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 ho 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 ter.) Ho 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 1857 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. He said he loathed the sight of her, and he had forbidden her to fondle her children. He said he could scarcely keep his hands from her, and threatened to beat out her brains, and he also frequently kicked her in the back. Her eldest child had exhibited idiotcy early, and had been placed in Earlswood 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. He 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 itfluence over her to induce her to return. [The case wao proceeding when we went to press.] SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before J. E. Davis, Esq., and a jury.) THOMPSON'S CRINOLINES AND THE PRINCESS OP VALES, -SINGULAR ACTION.-lIILMER 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 set out 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 \Vales, 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 give him an esti mate for electrotyping a plate. The electrotyper (Skinner) did so, and defendant considered drat 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 slight 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 ho 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 Mathews 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 Milner 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 Pay, WESTMINSTER. A FEMALE IMPRISONED WITHOUT A FlNE.—Mary Anne Clarke, a married woman, and of a most violent dis position, was charged before Mr Salfe, with assanitin Ellen M'Gowan, also a married woman, who, in conse quence of a wouud 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 gat 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 she 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 oce4sbns 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, MARLBOROUGH-STREET EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION,—REFUSAL TO GIVE ur 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 circumstances Lir 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 necessitate his doing so, The dead gentlemen had for some years resided at Chelsea, but uafertuuately for him had be decoyed into the house of Mr Herman, and after being there little more than a month, during which time he 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 been present he should have asked for a warrant against him, so that he might s how cause why he detained it. With regard to the coffin, that was clearly the property of the executors, and being of less value than £l5 his worship had jurisdiction in the matter. It was no doubt an offence at common law to keep a body above ground, and had the body not been soldered down a sufficient nuisance for interference could have been caused. Mr Herman said ha 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 to be given up, and leave you with the dead body. Mr Pearce said he could give the names of gentlemen who Knox would pay any just demands. 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 ho would be left with a deady body, and got no 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 case 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 Herman had one spark of decency left, ho 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 humanit y, and he had no hesitation in saying that his conduct, in supplying the de ceased with drink and the means of dissipation, had accele rated the unfortunate man's death. The summons was then ordered to issue forthwith. ON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 14, 1864. THAMES. A VERY KNOTTY POINT.—A respectable woman, with an order to protect her prcperty against her husband and his creditors, came before Mr Paget, and said the order had been granted on her application, six months ago, and she had been in business and doing well ever since. Her hus band was very persistent, and had applied to her N take him back; she was very willing to do so, but was desirous cf ascertaining first whether he could claim the property she had acquired, and, secondly, whether his creditors could make her property available for the payment of any debts he might have contracted. Mr Paget—Have y ou 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. He 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 statement. 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.; 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 of his shipmates at Conroy's lodging-house, No. 134, Ratcliff 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 Bluegat6-flelds. He was drugged there and fell asleep. When he awoke nest 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 he sent out for a half gallon of beer, which 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-LANE.

The SREAKER did not take the chair until about half past 12, owing to the difficulty of getting 40 members Present. NORTH-WESTERN AND CHA.RING-CROSS RAILWAY BILL. 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 move next session that no private bill be taken at a morning sitting. Mr S. ESICOURT said the right hon, baronet might have been present yesterday to oppose the bill. Even now it was not too late, if ho felt so disposed, to arrest its pro gress. He thought the hon, member had nothing to com plain of. Nr BOUVERIE urged that parties had not had suffi cient notice, In such cases he thought there should be one clear day's notice of a motion to suspend standing orders. After some farther discussion, it was agreed that the standing order 226 should be suspended, and that the bill should be read a third time to-morrow (this day). DUNDEE CHURCHES AND HOSPITAL BILL. On the motion of Mr C. FORSTER, it was agreed that in the case of this bill the examiner of petitions for private bills should have leave to proceed forthwith. BILLS WITHDRAWN. The Superior Courts of Common Law (Ireland) Bill, the Court of Queen's Bench (Ireland) Bill, and the Mar ried Women's Acknowledgment Bill, were withdrawn, on the motion of Sir R Peel. UNIFORMITY ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. BOU'VERIE, in moving the second reading of 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 he 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 educe- 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 A.TE 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.. Majority —5G The bill was therefore lost. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT 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 England, but he 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, far the Scottish clergy were educated at the old Scottish Universities, and also had a special training of their own at Glenalmond. Tho 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 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 Church of Eng land thousand of curates who had no prospect of obtaining ecclesiastical preferment. Mr A. SMITE and 11r ffADFIELD 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 efliciate 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 Clwrch of Scotland. This was a peculiarly curt question, and he trusted that the odium theologicum would not be introduce:l. With regard to this being a first attempt to make episcocacy the religion of Scotland, all he had to say was that a more crazy idea never entered the mind of man. (Hear, hear., Mr NEWDEGATE thought it injudicious to commit the powers proposed in 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 ruse to express his thanks to the hone member for Oxford for introducing the present bill, which he was sure would create a feeling of pleasure in the minds of Scotch members generally. Colonel SYKES supported the bill. Mr H ADFIELD 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 KINNAIIiD 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. WHALLEY moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to enable 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 bill was withdrawn. COUNTY REGISTRATION VOTERS BILL. The order for the committal of this bill was read and dis charged: ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. AND REGISTRIES (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third thus and passed. 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'lreland. Mr BERKELEY said his great object in bringing this bill was not to preserve the lives of foxes, but to prevent the destruction of sheep, pigs, and dogs. - The house divided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it Majority —22 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 comnsittee. ELECTION PETITIONS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was withdrawn. The other orders of the day sere then disposed of, and the house adjourned. JERSEY COURTS BILL. This bill was withdrawn. POISONED GRAIN PROHIBITION BILL. Mr BERKELEY moved that the house go into com mittee on this bill. THE NAVY. (From the Supplement to the _London Gazette of Tuesday July 12—Wednesday, July 13.) ADMIRALTY, JULY 12. Her Majesty, 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 age of 60 without having served in their present rank to be extended to captains who may attain the age 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 of eers to receive retired pay as follows : " If on the 10s. 6d. half-pay list when retired, 18s. per diem. " If on the 12s. 6d. half-pay list when retired, 20s. per diem. "If on the 14s. 6d. half-pay Hat 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. The above system of retirement to be extended to captains who may have attained the age of 55, provided they be willing and desirous to accept the same, subject to the proviso contained in paragraph 7. When the active list of captains shall have been reduced to 300 no captain shall be eligible for retirement under this clause who has not been five years on that list. "4, Captains who shall be found physically unfit for service may, at the discretion of the Board of Admiralty, be allowed to retire irrespective of age, at the several rates of 13s. or 20s. a day, according to their standing on the list, provided they shall have served at sea in the ranks of lieu tenant, commander, or captain a combined period of 15 years, and if less than that period of service at the rate of 16s. a day. Such officers to be allowed to rise in rank and pay with other captains of their standing, subject to the proviso contained in paragraph 7. "6. A limited number of captains who may have attained the age of 50, and who are not desirous of further employ ment, to b 3 allowed, at the discretion of the Board of Ad miralty, to retire on the foregoing conditions, and subject to the same proviso, When the active list of captains shall have been reduced to 300 no further retirement of officers to take place under this clause. " 6. Captains who may arrive at their turn for promo tion to the flag list without having served the time required to qualify them for their active flag to be placed on the list of reserved rear•admirals. "These officers, and also such officers as may under the provisions of the Order in Council of tho Ist August; 1860, have been already promoted to the reserved flag list, to bo allowed pay at the rate of 25s a day, subject, however, to the proviso contained in paragraph 7. " 7. The increased rate of 25s per diem half pay to be extended to officers who, un , er the provisions of the Order in Council of the let August, 1860, have already attained, or may hereafter attain, the rank of rear-admiral on the retired list, subject to the same proviso. All officers who are either now or who may be in future retired under the pro • visions of the order in Council of the let of August, 1860, to be allowed to rise to the higher grades on the retired flag list, according to the seniorities which they respectively held on the list of captains, but without receiving any further increase of retired pay or emolument. " 8. No officer who was not on the active list of captains previously to the Ist of August, 1860, to be allowed more than the pay of 20s. a day on attaining the rank of rear admiral, unless he shall have completed one year's service at sea in the rank of captain. " SECOND, AS RELATES TO COMMANDERS. "9. The active list of commanders to be reduced from 460 to 400. " 10. The existing system of placing on the retired list, under the conditions specified in the Order in Council of August, 1860, all commanders who have not served within a period of 15 years, either afloat or in command of revenue vessels, or in the Coast-guard, or as mail agent or transport officer, to be extended to commanders who have not been so employed during a period of ten years, such officers, and officers of Greenwich Hospital of similar rank, to be per mitted to assume the rank and title of retired captain, on reaching the age of 60, or on attaining 15 years' seniority on the list of commanders, and to receive on their retirement pay on the scale provided for in the said order in Council, with this difference only,—that officers who shall in future retire will be allowed to reckon their service in the Coast guard on shore, or transport service on shore, as half the same period served at sea, instead of one-third as at present. " 11.

(Before the Lord Chief Justice Erie.) TIIE RUSSIAN FORGERIES OF ROUBLE NOTES, Carl Albrecht Abranrans, a foreigner, described as a labourer, pleaded guilty to an indictment tharging him with feloniously uttering two forged Russian notes for the payment of 50 roubles each. Sentence deferred, THE CHARGE UNDER THE FOREIGN' ENLTSTMENT 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 cf th e 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 hien and he sent them to any ship which might be in want of hands at the time. Under such circa 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 NI-Ming to accept Mr Metcalfe's explanation, and under the circumstances he would be quite content if the pri soner was bound over in his own reccgnisances to appear when called on to receive judgment. The prisoner was accordingly liberated on these condi tions, and the learned judge told him that if 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. Gustave Lhemann, 31, described as a merchant ; Lucien Flatow, agent ; and Emile Werner, agent, were indicted for unlawfully conspiring together by false pretences and obtraining from Nicholas Tanco, Armero, and others, large quantities of silk and other goods to the extent of £2s,ooo,with intent to defraud. 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, and 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 bad 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 etrong re• cpmmendation 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 further 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. 15. WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS, SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 13. The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's steam ship Tasmanian, with the above mails, has arrived here.

She sustained considerable damage to her keel and is coming to England for repairs; The Hispano•Peruvian question still occupied the attention of the people of Chili. It was proposed to erect formidable batteries to guard the entrance to the harbour of Valparaiso. A commission had been appointed to proceed to England for the purpose of purchasing war steamers. _ In Peru subscriptions were being raised for the purpose of maritime defence. On the 3d ult. a Spanish gunboat appeared in the Bay of Callao, under a flag of truce, and requested permission to anchor and deliver despatches to the Ministers of England, France, and Chili, which was refused. The officer commanding the gunboat then said that he wished solely to treat with the Peruvian Government for the suspension of hostilities, but this was also refused by the Peruvian Govarnment.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.20 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 43 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is rather more than 1-ICth per cent. dearer in Paris than i n London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 05 per mar and the short exchanv e on London is 13.5 a per .C 1 stcrlin, , . r•_tandard gold at the English Mirt price is, therefore, about 3-10ths per cent, dearer In London than in thunbarg• PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. --It is said, ja the best informed circles, that the Parliamentary sess ion will be brought to a close on the 29th or 30th inst.
