LAW INTELLIGENCE--This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) SINGULAR CASE IN BANKRUPTCY.-IN RE MARTIN. This bankrupt was a provision dealer, at Greenwich, and came up to pass his last examination, and for discharge. Mr. Drew, of Basinghall-street, appeared to support. There was a former commission against the bankrupt in 1845, when he was adjourned sine die, without protection, and he was without his certificate up to the time of the pre sent bankruptcy, when the learned Commissioner refused to proceed until the bankrupt had passed his examination, and obtained his certificate , under the bankruptcy of 1845. Mr. Drew subsequently obtained leave for the bankrupt co apply to pass, which he subsequently did, and obtained a certificate from Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, which was produced, and his Honour now allowed the bankrupt to pass unaer the present bankruptcy, and granted the order of discharge. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) RE THE ASP H ALTUM COMPANY (LIMITED)—A NOVEL CASE. In this matter two petitions had been presented, one for the voluntary and one for the compulsory winding-up the affiirs of this company. The petition in support of the voluntary winding-up was presented by Mr. G. Wilson, of Montpelier-road, Brighton, the hider of 10,000 shares of £1 each. The company was formed in January, 1857, with a proposed capital of £lOO,OOO, and on the 10th day of May last year a resolution was come to for the voluntary winding-up of the company, and liquidators were appointed, and have continued to act ; but a petition was now pre sented by Mr. Shrimpton to bring the matter into court under the compulsory clauses. Mr. Linklater appeared for the petitioner, Mr. Wilson ; Mr Laurence, for the liquidators; and Mr. Roxburgh, for Mr. Shrimpton, Mr Roxburgh opened the case, objecting to the con tinuance of the proceedings under the voluntary winding up, and proposed to examine Mr. Wilson (of the firm of Wil son, Gculd, and Co., oil and tallow brokers) and one of the liquidators, Mr. Wilson was accordingly examined at some length, and said that he was brother to the petitioner, and brother in-law to Mr. Marshall, a co-liquidator of the estate. He was a shareholder to the extent of 10,000 shares, 1,500 were his own and all paid up, the remainder he held in trust for his firm for a debt. Mr. Roxburgh asked what debts. Mt. Lawrence said he should advise Mr. Wilson not to answer the question. It could not be allowed, and a wit ness who was called as a shareholder was not bound to answer questions as to the private transactions of a firm with which he was connected. Mr. Roxburgh said that the witness was not called as a shareholder but as a liquidator, and his (Mr, Roxburgh's) object was to show that the affairs should no longer remain in their hands. Mr. Wilson said he should decline to reply, for the reason that the transaction had nothing to do with the Company. Mr. Roxburgh asked for his Honour's decision, His Honour—l can't commit him.

CHARGE OF ROBBING THE CLERGY OF TRINITY, MA.RYLEBONE.—Thos. Edmonds, and Catherine Edtnonds, lately in the service of the curates of Trinity, Marylebone, at the residence-house, 10, Portland -road, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, on suspicion of stealing three L 5 Bank of England notes, the property of the Rev. Henry Bolland, curate of Trinity Church, Marylebone, and others. Mr. Maude prosecuted, and Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the defence. The Rev. Henry Bolland, said—The prisoners have been in the service of the clergy of Trinity, Marylebone, at the residence-house, 10, Portland-road, but owing to circum stances which transpired they were summarily dismissed on Monday last. At 10 o'clock that morning I had a packet in the library drawer in my sitting room, which contained some bank notes. About four o'clock iu the afternoon, in consequence of what one of my friends living in the house informed me, I went to my drawer and found the packet had been handled, and a bank note which had been cut in two left, but three ()Veers taken away and I believe also a sovereign. The male prisoner had been in the room in the course or the morning, and I had been out for a time. When I discovered my loss the prisoner had left the house. Mr. Lewis having cross-examined the witness, The Rev. Alfred Brown, curate of All Souls, and also residing at 6, Portland-road, said—For some weeks past I have kept a pocket book with notes in my drawer, but for the last 10 days only one note. On Saturday last I put into the drawer a Russian leather purse with gold in it— £2 I can swear to. 1 also put with the purse two envelopes, one containing a £5 note and a sovereign, and the other tour half-sovereigns. At half-past 4 o'clock on Monday 1 went to the drawer, and the first thing I took up was the purse, which was then empty. I then looked at the pocket book which I had placed under the purse, and found one £5 note, but the envelopes had not been touched. By Mr. Lewis—The only other person in the house was a young woman who assisted the prisoners. The prisoners were then charged with receiving money from the different gentlemen to settle their accounts and keeping the money, and handing the gentlemen forged re ceipts for the same. Mr. Maude aske3 that the cass might be dealt summarily with, as some of the clergymen wished to leave town. Mr. Tyr whitt said it was evident the prisoners had been carrying on a flagrant system of misappropriation. He would remand the prisoners, and would take one bail in £lO for the woman's appearance. STRANGE REVERSE OF FORTUNE—Edward Blackstone, a tall stout man, of respectable appearance, was charged with stealing a volume of Tennyson's Poems from the shop of Mr. Basil Montagu Pickering, bookseller, Piccadilly. Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prisoner. It appears that Mr. Pickering called upon Mr. Nathaniel Huett, bookseller, of Prince's-stree t, Coventry-street, a few days ago, and while in Mr. iluett's shop, observed the volume lying on the counter. Believing it to be the same he had bound for a customer, and left on his counter for show, he on his return home searched and missed the book. He then went back to Mr. tiuett, who told him that he had bought the book of the prisoner for 65., and with Mr. Huett's assistance and that of Sergeant Foinett, 14 C, the prisoner was apprehended. Mr. Sayer said he was instructed that the prisoner was not at times in his right mind. He had once held a high position in the City, having been on the Stock Exchange and possessed of thousands, but he had suffered a sad reverse of fortune, and this preyed upon his mind. Mr. Huett said he believed the prisoner perfectly well knew what he was abort, and booksellers were peculiarly liable to robberies of the kind. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was committed for two months' ,vith hard labour. A SYSTEMATIC THlEF. —Charles Pe rfitt, who described himself as a book hawker, w as charged with of Messrs. a Newton large ewt sponge o f C t o h o e k v , a 1st:: sponge 012 and s. brush merchants, 62, from the shop 3ss Princes-street, St. James's, t wo brass stea m taps , from t he shopof l‘l.srq. square ; dis,awndhowleitsh beingironmonger, a le iaLeicester-street, of a jar of Leicester ossession pickles, and another of jam, believed to have been stolen in the neighbourhood. A person in the employ of Mr. Smith, gunmaker, next door to Messrs. Newton and Cooks, observed the prisoner while passing Mr. Smith's window. endeavouring to secrete the sponge under his coat. 1:n -inking all was not right, he gave information to Mr. Mason, the manager at Messrs. Newton & Cook's, and that gentleman went after the prisoner and brought him back, with the sponge in his pos • session; and, on James Billett, 329 H, being called in, he found in the prisoner's possession the brass taps, which were identified as Mr. Addis's property, and of the value or 135., and the other articles. The prisoner, who is well known to the police, was com mitted for trial. WESTMINSTER. TAVERNI:EEPERS, AND SINGULAR NOTION OF A CUS TOMER —Mr. Benjamin Sims, of 11, Brunswick-street Clerkenwell, coachbuilder, was charged with wilfully break ing a drinking glass, value 6d., at the house of Mr. Foster, the Crown tavern, Tufton-street, Westminster. John Elbey, a plumber, said he was in the house this morning at about 7 o'clock, when he heard a glass of porter called for by the defendant, who then said he would test it. Immediately after which he heard a smash, and found the glass broken. He heard defendant admit that he had broken it. He was not sober at the time. A policeman proved that he was called to take defendant and locked him up. Mr. Arn Id—Did he give his name and address ? Policeman—Yes ; correctly, I believe. Mr. Arnold—Then why lock him up. You ought not to have done that. Mr. Foster—He is a perfect stranger to me. Mr. Arnold—He gave his name and address, and as there is nothing to show that this was not an accident, he had no right to be locked up. Inspector Humphreys, of the B Division —Hs admitted to me that ho had been guilty of wilful damage under pecu liar circumstances. Mr. Arnold--That is a different matter. What did he say ? Inspector Humphreys—On the charge being made, he said he consid ere d h e h a d a right w break the glass, and although recommended to pay the amount o f damage, he positively refused, maintaining that he had done no wrong. Mr. Arnold—What right could he possibly have in breaking this man's glass ?

SANGUINARY AF F RAY. — Catherine Sullivan, an Irish woman, about 30 years of ago, was brought before Mr. Leigh, charged with assaulting and wounding Ellen Desmond, a young waman, in Blue Anchor-yarn, Rose mary-lane, on the night of Tuesday, the 28th ult. The husband and son of the prisoner are in custody, and have been remanded by Mr. Partridge until Wednesday next. The woman Ellen Desmond was savagely beaten by the Sullivan tamily, and struck on the head with a stone several times. Sbe was grievously wounded, and carried to the London Hospital, where she has ever since remained. A. certificate of the dangerous condition of the woman Desmond was handed to the magistrate. Francis Kelly, 130 H, said he met with the prisoner last night, and charged her with being concerned in the outrage on Mrs. Desmond. She ran away trom him, and he pursued her and took her into custody. Evidence was given that the Sullivan family beat Mrs. Desmond in a savage manner, and while the son held her by the hair of the head, Mrs. Sullivan beat the woman over the head with a large stone, which Kelly produced. Mr. Leigh remanded the prisoner. DEAD DRUNK ON JAMAICA RUM.—An Irish labourer, who gave the name of John Howard, but who called him self Michael Donovan, last night was brought before Mr. Leigh, charged with being drunk and incapable. Payne, a constable in the service of the East and West India Dock Company, said the prisoner was engaged in de livering a cargo of rum from a West Indian ship yesterday. Some of the casks were leaky, and the prisoner and other labourers drank immoderately of new Jamaica rum, of great strength, and fell dead drunk at half-past °level; o'clock in the morning. The prisoner was taken to the station-house in a state of complete insensibility, and was attended by a medical man. The prisoner dislodged a quantity of rum from his stomach, and was nearly dead. Mr. Leigh—Where has thq prisoner been all night ? Payne—ln the station-house. Mr. Leigh—He must not be employed again in the dock. Payne—No sir, he will not. The prisoner—The rham, yer honour, took an effect upon me ; allure, the smell of it kilt me quite. Mr. Leigh said the prisoner had suffered for his folly, and dismissed him. FRIGHTFUL DEATH BY FALLING DOWN A COAL PIT.-00 Monday last Mr. Coroner Swann held an inquest at New Eastwood, Notts, on the body of a youth named Nillard Taylor, who was employed in one of Messrs. Barber and Walker's coal pits. On Friday evening he was riding down an incline with two companions. The works had been stopped for the night, and it was supposed that the pit shaft was protected ley an iron fence. It appeared, however, that the banksman had neglected his duty, and as the Bain arrived at the end of the gangway the waggon in which the deceased was riding was thrown down the shaft. His two companions managed to save themselves by jumping out, but the deceased fell to the bottom of the pit and was picked up in a shocking condition. The jur,' returned a verdict of accidental death. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. To-day's market was fairly supplied with beasts as to number, but their general quality was inferior. The few prime breeds on offer sold slowly, at about previous rates, the top quotation being 4s 101 b per 81b, Inferior stock was very dull, at barely stationary prices. The show of sheep was moderate. Downs and half-breds were in fair request, at full currencies, viz., 4s 8d to 5s per 81b.; but inferior sheep ruled heavy, at prices barely equal to Monday. Lambs were in moderate supply and sluggish request, at late quotations. There was a large supply of calves in the market, and the veal trade was very dull.

An e ' On the con was read by Mr. J o h n V ernon , of Liverpool, The provincial session of the InstitutionGeforMeecshaHniacnal Engineers comm e nc e d on Tuesday, at St. , o st f ru i c r tn on v o e f ss ir e o ls n s o h v i e p r s w ith greater strength, greater durability, less cost, together ' t ' hos l e 'h o e f lae w in oo te d ef w e certain supply of material. The Gleat Britain was a good example of the stren g th and power of resistance possessed by carrying capability, greater facility of construction, and more e d r v e a notleipgeerrorfouiatvyort iron vessels; for, al hough she lay stranded in Dundrum Bay for nearly 12 months, and subjected to a severe strain, ehe was ultimately drawn off in safety, and found capable of efficient repair. Mr. Vernon next drew attention to the importance of iron in the construcion of the screw colliers which had recently come into use, and which were fur nished with a chamber throughout the entire bottom of the hull for the carrying of water ballast, which could be pumped in and out, and which was a most economical sub stitute for ordinary ballast. He then described the uses of iron for flat-bottomed beats intended for river navigation, and particularly the system called Bourne's Jadian river train," employed on the Ganges and Indus, where by convex bows and concave sterns an articulated train was formed by barges. It was not, however, found to answer so well as expected, in consequence of the currents tee q e u l useevsitooi would question had arisen irrias tsrdaionf w oi what 40 a i ta d o v nt a hs no per a ce o g r n e i sn lv cr h a u s ,o at oi and an of the river s p reventing a due control of the steering appa rot aaf shipsn u e s d . b . y Th t s h e the best iron only 20 tons. In prac • tice, however, it was not considered advisable to reduce the proportion of steel lower than two thirds the weight of the iron. There was no ob. jection in a mechanical point of view to steel when it came up to the professed standard, but in a commercial point of view steel was found to be much more costly. The use of steel was not of course accompanied by any increased in ternal capacity. Mr. Vernon states that the objection to iron ships, on the ground of fouling at the bottom, and the derangement of the compasses by the local metallic attrac tion, might be gradually overcome by improved inventions for coating, and by improved knowledge of appliances to correct the deviation. Some discussion followed, after which a vote of thanks was awarded to Mr. Vernon. The papers which followed were, " On the effects of surface con densers on steam boilers," by Mr. James Jack, of Liver. pool ; and " On the mechanical ventilation and warming of St. George's Hall," by Win. Mackenzie, of Liverpool. After the discussions, the members occupied themselves with the inspection of some of the principal engineering establishments of the town. GENERAL WCLELLAN.—An admirable life-size model of this distinguished General, late commander-in chief of the Federal army, in military costume, has, within the last few days ; been added to Madame Tussaud's Ex hibition, in Baker-street, and we doubt not but that most of the Americana now resid ng in this country will avail themselves of the opportunity thus afforded to pay a visit to the historical gallery on such an interesting occa sion, where likewise is to be seen a model of President Lincoln. , I L LONDON AND COUNTY BANK HALF-YEARLY MEETING-THIS DAY, The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprietors Was held to-day at the London Tavern. • The report stated that the net profits, after deducting all charges, amounted to £63,838 19s. 9d., which, added to £1,483 2s. 3d. brought forward, made a total of £65,322 2s. A dividend of 6 per cent, for the half-year, free of income tax, was proposed and agreed to unanimously. CITY OF LONDON BREWING COMPANY. HALF-YEARLY MEETING —THIS DAY. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this company was held to-day at the London Tavern; A. Young, Esq., presiding. The CHAIRMAN said the business f r transaction was ' very short and satisfactory. Hitherto the directors had paid both classes of shareholders a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent, but on this occasion that amount would be in creased. Al,hough no formal report would be presented on that occasion, he bad to inform the meeting that the half-yearly accounts had been audited, and the directors felt perfectly justified in increasing their dividend on the present occasi( n to 3i per cent. for the half year to both classes of shareholders, which was at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. The proposition was agreed to unanimously, and a vete of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. A CASE OF CONSCIENCE. The following letter h.;s been addressed to the editor of the Times:— " Sir,—Her Highness the Maharanee, Jindkore, of Lahore, mother of his Highness the Maharajah Daleep Singh, died on the Ist current at Abingdon house, Kensington, in the Hindoo faith, and we understand it is proposed to bury her. " The practice is contrary to the religion of the Sikhs, and, as his Highness the Maharajah denies our right to dispose of the body according to our customs, we are constrained, as a matter of con science, to appeal to the country for protection, and beg you will kindly allow us a place in your spirited journal to enter a public protest against the intended desecration. "Agreeably to our rules, the body ought to be burnt and the ashes given to the Ganges. The thing is simple enough in itself, and, as it in fringes no moral or physical law, we certainly can ❑ot believe the wisdom and intelligence of the land would oppose our acting as our religion directs. " Besides, the belief of all religionists is that no funeral is hallowed unless a priest, or, in his ab sence, a layman of the religion of the deceased officiates at. his obsequies. Now, it is not competent to a Christian minister to afford the rights of burial to her Highness, and we, on our part, cannot render any assistance if the remains are to be buried. It is hard, then, her Highness should be deprived of the offices the meanest claim and receive through out the civilised globe, and that we should be re fused the consolation of discharging the 'ast sad duty for our mistress that is the right of all, and that is not in the power of his Highness the Maha rajah, or any other Christian, to pay. " Her Highness was particularly careful about everything relating to caste; indeed, so much so, that up to he: demise she refused to eat when his Highness the Maharajah happened to be on the same carpet with herself, and, so that she might not be compromised, bad a separate establishment of Indians, who attended to her table and every thing connected with it. '• In asking to dispose of her Highness's remains according to our religion, then, we feel we are ful filling her Highness's wishes, and are satisfied, had she known her dissolution was at hand, she would have left definite instructions for the disposal of her body after the forms of the Sikh religion. "Reiterating our protest in the name of the friends and relations of her Highness the Maha ranee, of the Sikhs in general, both here and abroad, and in the interests of civil and religions liberty, " We have the honour to be, sir, "Your very obedient servants, " UTCHEEL SINGH, Jageerdar, " KISHEN SINGH, Khutry. " 16, Craven-terrace, Lancaster-gate, Bayswater, Aug. 4." SCIENCE AND ART DEPARTMENT. The report of the Science and Art Departmen for the past year states that 2,543 persons have been under instruction in science -classes taught by certificated masters, and, besides, about 870 stu dents at Glasgow and Manchester, taught by un certificated masters, have been examined by the de partment. At the examination, held at 55 local centres, 1,239 persons were examined, 1,943 papers were worked, and 1,480 passed. The students of seven Irish schools, numbering only 374, were successful in obtaining 149 prizes and 12 medals out of a total of 689 prizes and 35 medals. There are now 127 certificated science teach ers, all educated without any expenditure of public money by the department, except five or six who were trained before the minute was passed. A minute has been issued assimilating the aid granted to navigation classes to that afforded to general science classes, with due regard to the pecu liar nature of navigation schools, and encouraging a sounder system of instruction. As respects art, the department consider that the time has arrived when the local schools have become sufficiently ad vanced in their studies to enable them to train students for masterships up to a certain grade of competency, and a minute has, therefore, been passed by which no further payments in London will be made to assist students to take the first cer tificate for a mastership. On the other hand, it is proposed to revert to the system of scholarships in the central school, which had been somewhat pre maturely established in the schools of design. These scholarships will be open to competition to the ad vanced students of all local schools,and the holders of them will have the opportunity of making prac tical use of the collections of the Art Museum. In 1862 8,896 children of poor schools in London were taught through the agency of the central school. The total number of schools of art now open in the United Kingdom is 9t). In the central schools 16,908 persons received instruction in the year, in the public schools 71,423. 4,672 payments were made to schools of art in respect of results of exami nations. Payments on results have for the last ten years formed part of the system by which art mas ters have been remunerated, and the working of the system has been such as to justify its complete adoption; minutes have accordingly been prepared extending the application of this principle to all the instruction given in or through the means of art schools. These minutes will also tend to restrict the aid of the State to those classes that are unable to provide such education for themselves. In the last year 87,389 persons were taught drawing through the agency of the department, the fees paid by them amounting to £18,017. Of this sum £5,038 was paid by evening students, who are almost wholly arti sans paying not more than 6d. a week for three lessons. Several foreign Governments, from a sense of the great influence of the science and art depart ment on the industrial progress of this country, have made application for detailed information of the working of the department—a proof that the enlightened views of the Prince Consort in found ing the South Kensington Museum have been b other preciatb,d, not only in this kingdom , but y nations. ap- -2-- FATAL GUN ACCIDF;:iT NEAn N'oTTINGuA3I.—At the Shirehall, Nottinghant, on Wed.needay, the 6th inst., a young man about 20 years of age, gamed Bennett Carrell, was brought before Lord Belper and the sitting magistrates, c harged with shooting a child named Elizabeth Oldham, three years old. It appeared from the evidence evening at half-past six o'clock the that on the previous prisoner was shooting birds with an air gun from the win dow of his mothers house at Beesfon (four miles from NeLtinghain), and the deceased Was playing with other children behind a hedge about 20 yards from him. He con tinued shooting for some time, when a bullet fr. om hi struck the deceased on the head, and bespattered her brains all all around. An alarm was made, and the police en com municated w ed. expin of with, the p risoner being shortly afterwards a p . pre hended by Ser g eant Dolby and conveyed to Nottin g lma. Th e poor child lingered a few minutes and h The case was remanded un til Saturday, hell the the coroner's inquest will be known ., resuiV. ~_ ~ Royal Institute of British Architects. Last evening the members of this institute, of which her Majesty is the patron, entertained Mr. Tite, M.P., at dinner at the Trafalgar, at Green wich, on the occasion of his retiring from the office of president, whi c h he had held for two years. Professor Donaldson, the eminent architect, acted as chairman, and the company was made up of all the more distinguished members of the profession in the metropolis and other parts of the kingdom, including Mr. Gilbert Scott, Mr. Charles Barry, Mr. Penrose, Mr. Pennethorne, Mr. F. P. Cockerel!, Mr. P. Hardwick, R.A., Mr. S. Smirke, R.A., Mr. Owen Jones, Mr. Crace, M r . A s h p i te l , Mr. J. Fergusson, Mr. B. Ferry, and many other archi tects and persons of note. All the "styles," in deed, may be said to have been represented on the occasion. Thz Lord Mayor was likewise present, as were also Mr. Hawkshaw, president of the Insti tute of Civil Engineers; Mr. Thwaites, chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works ; and Mr. Bmtinck, MY. Judging from the cordial tone of the meeting, and of the speeches made on the occasion, the architects of the metropolis ap pear to regard Mr. Tite not only as an orna ment of their profession, but as having given t hem as a body a social status, and opportunities for advancing the study of their art unknown to them until within the last 15 or 20 years, and combined individual skill and knowledge into one common stock for the public advantage, through the medium of the Institute, which he was mainly instrumental in establishing. Though they may differ on many subjects connected with their pro fession, they would seem to be at one in these re spects, from the highest to the humblest. In the course of the evening Professor Donaldson, now the president of the institute, proposed the health of his predecessor, Mr. 'rite, in very complimentary terms, dwelling on his merits and works as an architect during a career of upwards of 40 years, principally in the city of London, in which he was born and educated, on the liberal assistance he had afforded from time to time from his own private means in advancing the general interests of the profession, and on his fine archaeological taste. The toast was drunk wi h great cordiality by the whole company, and Mr. Tite spoke briefly in reply to the compli ment, recounting some of the more interesting inci dents of his professional experience, but, like the speech of the chairman, interesting only or mostly to the members of his own profession. The com pany separated about 11 o'clock. JESUITS AND JESUITRY. What was it Carlyle once wrote of some reptile antagonist ? " Squelch it, by heavens, squelch it !' Precisely in this summary fashion has the pitiless Saturday Review acted by Mr. M'Gbee's transla tion of M. Cretineau-Joly's History of the Jesuits. Saith the critic, coming down upon the Exeter Hallite with a pancake-making weight of ridicule in every sentence: — Whether piqued at being turned into a waste-paper basket, or desirous to furbish up his old pamphlets afresh, Mr. M'Ghee has thought proper to add to the injury he has done M. Cretineau-Joly by his queer translation, by swamping him, fore and aft, with 23 pages of preface and 136 of notes, besides peppering the text all along with amenities such as the following :—" The notes (to the Irish Bible) teem with intolerance and treason ;" "the silent stealthy movements of that body are like the noiseless tread of the tiger as he steals to spring on his prey : "here it is demonstrated that the whole Repeal movement in Ireland was the work of the General,d the Jesuits,and that O'Con nell, the bishops, and the priests were their tools" (the un fortunate sentence that " demonstrates" this being the rather harmless assertion that the separation of the Jesuits in Ireland from those in England "promised to produce fruitful results") ; " whenever they volunteer the profes sion of any apparent good, is merely a cloak to cover the evil exactly opposite ;" " there are certain historians who ought proverbially to have good memories," and the like ad nauseam. What imaginable enemy he hopes to con quer, or what friend t 3 warn, by the Ares literarum, Mr. M.Ghee must he the best judge. Our own feeling is simply that, if the Jesuits did all the good that is reported of them in the text, and if nothing more reliable can be said against them than is stated in this writer's notes, the work is so well calculated to serve their cause—if only there were any chance of its being read—that we could imagine the book written by one of the order. Into his " notes and commentaries" we simply decline to enter. They remind us of nothing so much as a school playground after a sth of November, with its spent squibs, disembodied crackers, blackened cases of extinct Roman candles, and an unpleasant smell of burnt powder all around. In 136 pages we at least expected some contradiction of M. Cretineau-Joly's facts, or some correction of his inferences. Nothing of the sort is to be found. Long quotations from Nicolini, a Mr. Grinfield, Mr. Steinmetz, and weary twaddle of his own composition, fill up the dreary pages ; and the chief effort of his logic is expended in showing that for the whisky-shops within convenient distance of the Roman Catholic chapels, and for the temporary success of Father Matthew's crusade against whisky drinking, the Jesuits are alike responsible. And here we take leave of Mr. M'Ghee in his own open ing words :—" We cannot present this translation to the public without anticipating, with not unnatural sympathy, the sentiments of indignation which must pervade the breast of every honest Englishman when he shall have arrived at its conclusion." A more entirely trashy book it has never been our lot to review; but we must qualify the statement by adding that we never had the misfortune to read any other of this gentleman's productions.

At the Antrim assizes, on Saturday and Monday, Baron Fitzgerald and a special jury were engaged in hearing a breach of promise case. The plaintiff, Miss Jane Marian Shallow, was a milliner at New castle, in the county Down. The defendant, Mr. James Savage, a widower, was much older than the plaintiff. He was a coal and timber merchant, residing at Newry. He became acquainted with her in the year 1860, and an attachment springing up between them, he professed himself to be a de voted lover. At last their marriage was fixed for the 17th of June, 1861. In consequence of this the plaintiff was induced to sell off the greater portion of her business, as defendant assured her he was worth £7,000 or £B,OOO, and, therefore, there would be no need for her to continue it. When the 17th of June arrived the defendant backed out from fulfilling the engag e me nt , then, on the ground of ill he alth, though it didn t appear to be very serious. Sep tember was next named for the interesting ce remony, but once more he de. chleirneadp,paentidte, appetite, indulged inmiantdtueirofcourse,the plaintiff lost nothing but cryi ng and fretting—indeed, her mother stated that for four months she hardly came down from her bed room• I vi ieo asked why he had bought her the ,6 wedding dress," he denied he had d one so. lie was a sporting man, and as one of his withdog s ba d won a wag er, he p resented the plaintiff • a new dress on the occasion. One of the strongest pi pr oofs that he reall y was c ourting the • ;.ct ainti.: was the fact that, during a comparatively short time, he sent her 200 letters. Most of them were of a ve r y prosaic and insipid character. However, in one or t wo he described his tend er love for her "as b e i ng like a lava flood that bu rns in the breast of Elna's flames." This burning sensation must hav e soon gone off, as he for soo k the plaintiff and married juran other lady. Th e guineas, tho ug h she hady awarded the pl a intiff 100 estimated the outrage on her feelings at £3,000. SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AT A CRICKET MATCH.— Yesterday Captain Stewart, of the 2d Life Guards, met with a serious accident while engaged in a match at cricket in the barrack-field at Woolwich, between the Household Brigade and the Royal Artillery. Captain Stewart, in attempting to catch a short ball from the wicket, fractured the middle finger of his left hand, which was also severely lacerated. He was taken to the Royal Artillery Infirmary, where the wounded hand was care fully attended to, and, being informed that amputation would be necessary, he was removed to London at his own request. Captain Taswell, R.A., was also severely wounded in the same match. The ball struck him with terrible force between the eyes, and for a moment it was feared that the blow was fatal. The sufferer will, it is stated, bear traces of the wound through life. GRANITE CYST FOR THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT AND THE QUEEN.—A stone has been successfully cut from the Cairngall Granite Quarry at Peterhead, which is to form a tomb for Prince Albert—on a smaller scale, but on the same principle as the tomb of Napoleon at Paris — being placed on the floor of the vault, and not underground. The stone is ten feet long by about seven broad, and three and a half deep; and it is to be cut into a sort of sarco phagus, to rest in a pedestal. Two cysts are to be cut in the stone for the insertion of coffins and lids left to be cemented down, The body of the late Prince is to occupy one cyst ; and we believe it is the express wish of her Ma jesty that her own remains shall be deposited in the other. The obtaining of this stone has been a work of extreme difficulty—one or two fine blocks having been already re jected for flaws. The stone weighs übove 18 tons, and will at once be conveyed to Mr. ilacdonald's establishment in Aberdeen, to be dressed and polished.—Peterhead / Sentinel. Several of the French journals state that the ie... auguration of the statue of Napoleon as a Roma , Emperor on the column of the Place Vendome has been postponed to the 15th October next, and that the statue to be removed will be placed on the Rond Point of Courbevoie, at the spot where the mortal remains of the Emperor were landed on the banks ot the Seine. .7 3 ~~~.
