[The following appeared in our Third Edition of last night :—] FRANCE. The Court of Appeal confirmed on Saturday the decision of the Court of Correctional Police, which decided itself competent to try the editors of the Moniteur du Soir, Slick, National, Gazette de France, Courrier Francais, Evenement, and Peuple, for hav ing omitted the signatures of the writers to political articles. The municipll election in the Saone et Loire have been in favour of the party of order. In the commune of Couches, out of 21 candidates 14 are Conservatives ; in that of Charolles, the whole of the Conservatives were elected by a majority of 250 out of 440. The steam-corvette Coligny, 300-horse power, was lauached on the sth inst. at Rochfort, after having been blessed by the clergy of the town. The Court of Assize condemned M. Voille de St. Phillibert, editor of the Mode, to three months' im prisonment and 2,000 f. fine for publishing an article insulting to the President of the Republic, and ac quitted M. Besselievre, its author. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE IN FRANCE. The Moniteur publishes a report on the administra tion of civil and commercial justice in France, in 1848, addressed by the Minister of Justice to the President of the Republic. The perusal of that docu ment shows that the events which occurred during that year produced an almost general stagnation of affairs, and consequently a considerable diminution in the number of civil suits. Thus the Court of Cessa tion, to which 887 appeals were addressed in 1847, had only to decide on 582 in 1848 ; and the affairs submitted to the courts of appeal diminished from 11,002 to 8,178. The applications to the courts for separation a menses et thoro likewise decreased from 1,168 to 939. 884 were made by wives, and 55 by husbands. 16 marriages had lasted less than one year; 192, from one vear to five ; 210, from 5 to 10 ; 291, from 10 to 20 ; 128, from 20 to 30 ; 44, from 30 to 40 ; 5, from 40 to 50 ; and one upwards of 50 years ; the duration of 52 remained unknown. 518 had produced children ; 318 had been sterile ; no information was obtained respecting the other 103. 875 of those applications were grounded on ill-treatment, 44 on adultery committed by the wife, 41 by the husband. The Court admitted 655 and rejected 97. In the other cases either a reconcilia tion took place between the parties or the suit was abandonned. The commercial suits, instead of di minishing, in 1848, like the civil suits, increased from 239,687, their number in 1847, to 256,953. There were, besides, 10,395 lying over since 1847, or in all 267,348. Of these 67,263 were terminated after hearing the parties ; 141,216 by judgments by • default, 4,351 by arbitration, and 45,229 were either compromised or withdrawn. 258,059 affairs were thus adjusted, and 9,289 only remained to be examined at the close of the year. The number of commercial associations formed in 1848 did not exceed 1,497 ; in 1847 it had been 2,599 ; and, in 1846, 2,724. The failures in 1848 amounted to 3,541, or 1,221 less than in 1847. The 2,847 justices of peace decided 545,088 cases out of the 554,679 brought before them ; and the public notaries, 9,781 in number, drew up 2,777,358 acts, or 805,639 less than in 1847. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the sth have been received. A. ball was given at the Palace on the sth inst., which was opened by the Queen, who danced with Lord Howden. The sitting of the Chamber of Deputies was taken up by the verification of their powers. MADRID BOLSA, Nov. s.—The Three per Cents. were done at 34 13-16 for time ; the Four per Cents., at 134 ; the Five per Cents., at 13a ; the Debt without Interest, at 3 15-16 for cash ; and the Coupons, at 74. GERMAN Y. The Wiener Zeitung, of the 6th publishes the manifesto of the Austrian Government on the Prus sian question. After protesting against the recent policy of Prussia, the article in the Wiener Zietung, says—" Wurtemberg, Saxony, and the other States which have remained true to their federal duties, are arming with might and main in order to secure their own independence and the rights of the Confederation, and to discharge their federal obligations. Austria, who with her allies is proceeding to the execution of the decrees of the Bund, is determined to respect all the rights of others, but she will shrink neither from menaces nor danger in the defence of her own good right." A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin, of the 9th inst., in the Kolner Zeitung, states that no change has taken place in the situation of affairs. Another dis patch from Count Bernstorff, the Prussian Ambassa dor at Vienna, arrived, and a Cabinet Council was being held under the presidency of his Majesty the King. The Constitutionelle Zeitung, of the 7th instant, states that in the course of that day a telegraphic dispatch had been received from Count von der Gro ben, the commander of the army in Hesse, stating that the Commander of the Federal troops had pro. posed that the two armies should draw in their outposts, but that he (General Groben) had not thought proper to accede to this proposal. Baron Budberg has informed the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh that the demands of Austria exceed the stipulations of the Warsaw conferences. It is believed that Russia will not attack the Prussian dominions. Nevertheless most extensive armaments are being set on foot for the purpose of protecting the eastern fron tiers of the kingdom. The Deutsche Reform of the same date states that the armaments and military movements are continued with the greatest energy. The officers who are at Berlin for the purpose of attending the higher mili tary schools and establishments, have been ordered to return to their respective regiments. The cadets of the Royal School of Artillery, too, have been sent to the army. Ten batteries of the artillery of the guard have marched from Wusterhausen to Luckau, where they will be followed by the other batteries of that division, add by the infantry and cavalry of the Guards. The troops from Hamburgh will repair to Erfurt and Eisenach, and those from Baden will oc cupy the ground about Frankfort-on-the-Maine, for the purpose of co-operation with the army in Hesse. His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, attended by General Prittwitz, will take the command of the troops. Letters from Breslau, of the 7th inst, in the Kelner Zeitung, state that, in the course of the night, the order in Council respecting the mobilization of the army was sent to Breslau. At four o'clock in the morning above 20 orderlies were dispatched in all di rections with instructions for the calling out of the war reserve and the foot, horse, and artillery of the Landwehr of the first class. The foot of the Line and of the Landwehr were to be at their county towns at twelve o'clock at noon on the Bth ; and the cavalry of the Landwehr will want eight days to provide them selves with horses. The Berlin public applaud the late energetic reso lutions of the Government, and this feeling is like wise prevalent in the provinces, especially in Silesia and Rhenish Prussia. A Frankfort letter of the Bth inst., in the Kolner Zeitung, states that General Schreekenstein, the com mander of the Prussian troops in Baden, has been in structed to concentrate all his forces and to occupy a position between the Murg and the Neckar. The Grand-Duke of Hesse has declared for Austria and the Federal troops by permitting an Austrian corps to occupy the left bank of the lain in and around Seligenstadt. The Frankfort Exchange has been seriously af fected by the military movements in Central Ger many. Austrian paper fell from three to four per cent. within 24 hours, and Spanish paper alone found purchasers at the loss of only two per cent. The Oberpost Antis Zeitung states from Upper Fulda, of the 7th instant, that the position of the Prussian and Federal troops in that part of Hesse is as fol lows :—The Prussian troops occupy the valley of the Fulda river up to the distance of two miles south from the city of Fulda , they hold the Fulda-bridge near the village of Kohihaus, the city of Fulda, the heights of Florenzberd and Melters, and the villages of Langenbiber, ,Bibrantein, Niederbiber, Wittges, and Langenberg, and also the heights which rise to wards the Vog elsberg, with the villages of Upper and Nether Giesel, Kleinheilig-Kreus, Hainzell, Malges, and Maberzell. They also hold the Petersberg and the Frauenberg, and the villages of Horas, lEarnerzell, and Niesig. The Federal troops are concentrated in the direction of Neuhoff to the banks of the Fulda, and they occupy the slopes of the Rhon Mountains, and the villag es of Bilgerzell, Dirlos, Dippertshausen, an d Eichen zell. The Frankfort journal states, from Fulada, of the 7th instant (half-past 6 P.M.), that the day has passed without an encounter. General Groben has written a letter to Prince Thurn and Taxis, declaring that the two armies are in a state of hostility. From Regensburg, Bamberg, and the Palatinate, we learn the arrival of Austrian troops from the Vo rarlberg, and the occupation of the " passes" of the Rhine by Bavarian troops. The Kolizer Zeitang states from Frankfort, of the 7th, that the two Austrian corps from the Vorarlberg reached Bamberg, and entered into Coburg on the Bth of this month. This statement confirms the news contained in our impression of this morning. These corps, which muster 40,000 men, are intended to pass through Hesse and Hanover into Holstein. A Wur temberg army of 10,000 men is concentrating at Heilbronn, to support the operations of the Austrian and Bavarian troops. ITALY. The Concordia of the 6th instant announces that the Sardinian Chambers met on the preceding day to organizs their standing committees. Count Camille Ciwour, Minister of Marine, Agri culture, and Commerce, was elected deputy for Turin on the sth. The Risorgimento observes that only one deputy for Savoy was present at his seat, and that the others were no doubt concocting the interpellations which the ultra-Catholic party intends to address to the heretic Minister. JAMAICA MARKETS. (From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.) Flour—The arrivals of this article have been to an unusually great extent, and the market is in some mea sure overstocked; nevertheless, prices are not so much in favour of buyers as might have been expected. Operations have been effected in Baltimore, at from 33s to 31s, according to quantity and quality. Georgetown has also been moved at 325, the balance of a cargo rather dry and old was closed at 31s. There is still a large quantity in importers' hands. Meal is very dull, owing in a great measure to the abundance of native vegetables. We quote the article at 16s 6d a 17s, at which rates some sales have been made. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Rice is plentiful. Several hundred bags Bengal have been resold at 13s 6d per 1001bs. Carolina is rather quiet, with partial resales of the large lot sold at auction, at 16s per 1001bs, and reported in our last. Butter-250 firkins Cork, were placed at 9id. in 3 lots, and other sales of late arrivals have been made at 10d. per lb., in small quantities, at which rate holders are firm. We hrve not heard of any transactions in Ame rican. Halifax, of prime qunality, commands Bd., and 52 kegs have been taken thereat—for a parcel of inferior, however, 6d. could not be got at auction. Bread , is very quiet with a limited stock, and sales are confined to retail parcels at 17s for pilot and 22s for crackers. Wattson's command ls. per barrel higher. Mackerel—Last sales of prime were at 265. per barrel, but the article is taken very slowly at this rate. There are one or two parcels of inferior quality at mar kot, but we are not aware if any offer has been made for them. Salmon-20 tierces Hudson's Bay Co.'s, which had been sold to arrive at 108 s. per trc. have been received. 27 barrels No. 3 from Halifax were taken, on arrival, at 60s. but proving rusty were rejected and re-sold at 503. No. 1 is worth 68s. per barrel. Herrings are exceedingly scarce, with the exception of a few barrels in a cargo of Halifax, which sold at 20s. per barrel ; there are not any prime at market. Alewives are beeoming scarce. Full weight barrels, No. 1, command 18s a 20s. _ _ . Oil—The last arrival of Cod—a few barrels only—re alized 3s. 3d. per gallon. The article is wanted. Lard may be quoted at sd. a sid. for prime quantity, with a moderate demand. Codfish—Three cargoes have arrived in quick succes sion since our last. The half of the first was taken at 15s. 3d. for large and small fish in casks together, and boxes at 18s. The remainder was parcelled out at 15s, for casks, and same price per box. But little progress has been made in the sale of the other cargoes at the latter rates, and the article hangs rather heavily on hand theareat. The market is well supplied. Pork is generally inactive. Some sales of mess have been made at 725. per barrel, and of prime at 60s. to 625.; but notwithstanding its inactivity, holders are firm at our quotations. Hams—A few parcels of American have been moved at 641 a 7d. We have not heard of any transactions in English, which are scarce. The former are plentiful. Soap is very dull of sale at previous rates. Candles—Tallow in good assortments are wanted. The last sale was one of 300 boxes at 71d. per lb., and that rate would now be given readily. Cheese—We quote American at 7d. a 7id., and Eng lish at 1 Id per lb. Lumber—We report sales of 45,000 feet W. P. from Halifax, at 100 s. 120,000 feet from St. John, N. 8., at same rate, and a cargo from Calais (Maine), is now being placed at the same figure. The market is well supplied.

Pimento-4id. per lb. is freely offered, and in some instances the article has been procured thereat, but holders generally demand higher prices. Logwood is abundant and freely offered at 36s per ton. Ginger—No operations have reached us ; but we may report the article at our last rates—say 6d. to le. per lb., according to quality. Freights—There are not a great many vessels on the berth—but as the quantity of produce offering is small, tonnage is quite abundant, and, consequently, in little inquiry. Exchange on New York—Merchants' bills are worth 2i per cent. premium, 60 days' sight. Gold—American is taken at 2 per cent. premium, and doubloons (Spanish) Malt—Bottled is very plentiful, and dull at 7s. 6d. for porter and 7s. for ale, per dozen.

SIR, --:Yesterday the votaries of Puseyism at the above place were somewhat thrown back by a burst of indignation from some persons attending that so-called " place of worship" (which would be better designated as a "place of amusement"), who cried out, "No Popery !" They were doubtless men who could not refrain from giving vent to their feel ings as Englishmen whose rights and pri vileges of worshipping their God in the purity and simplicity taught by the Gospel, have been basely usurped, who could not sit down quietly and see such practices observed at once dero gatory to themselves:as:men and Christians in a Chris tian country, but also unwarranted by the Holy Scriptures, which alone are able to make men wise unto salvation. Let us, however, mark the effect pro duced upon the ministers who of course by their calling are expected to set an example to the people, and to show their courage in firmly maintaining the religion of the Church Gf England whenever it should be attempted to be interfered with. Well, Sir, they showed their courage by closing the church in the evening, they showed their courage by obtaining a body of policemen, and stationing them round the building to prevent the mob collected from creating a riot, and further they showed their courage by posting bills on the various doors " that the service (query) would be discontinued in the evening until further notice." This naturally has produced a sensation in the neighbourhood, and well it may. If their doc trines and observances are proper, why should they be afraid of continuing them ? There is the law to punish the peacebreaker, which should be suffi cient for their protection ; but methinks that they partake little of the courage of their patron saint, who went through " trials and tribulation" for the truths's sake, which they at the very shadow of danger cowardly run from. At a time like the present, when an effort is being made for the overthrow of the Church, it must he gratifying to find that there are those who will not shrink from warning, even in the sanctity of a church, men (who should be teachers of the word) that they are swerving from the oaths taken by them at their ordination, and that they are not preaching the truth as it is in Christ Jesus. at defiance, whilst a prize bat at the Exhibition will point to something from which a substitute may readily be adapted. With many apologies for this encroachment on your valuable space, I need only express an earnest hope that the subject will not be allowed to drop.—l am, Sir, &c. Bo w Church-yard, Nov. 7, 1850. E. B. THE BURGLARY AT THE RE GENT'S-PARK. The four men, Dyson, Mahon, Robinson, and Mit chell, who are implicated in the burglary committed at the house of Mr. Holford, in Regent's-park, on the night of the 13th ult., were brought up again, at the Marylebone Police-court, yesterday, and re-exa mined before Mr. Broughton. Mr. Wontner attended on behalf of Robinson, and Mr. Superintendent Haynes to watch the case for the Police Commissioners. Mr. Wakefield, the surgeon of the House of Deten tion, was the first witness called, and he deposed to the state in which Mitchell was in when he was commit ted to that prison. His left side was covered with gun-shot wounds, from the neck to the hip, but since he had been under his treatment no shot had come away. There were, however, several shots in the nape of the neck and different parts of the head. He had seen the hat produced by the police, which was found near to the scene of the burglary, and the perforations in it, which appeared to have been produced by gun-shots, corresponded with the situation of the wounds on the back of the head. From the hip to the head, no less than 60 or 70 shot must have penetrated the skin. Thaprisoner was very badly wounded when he was brought to the House of Detention, but now he was fast recovering. This was the whole of the evidence. Mr. Wontner asked if any more evidence would be produced against his client Robinson ? Mr. BROUGHTON replied in the negative. The depositions of the witnesses who had been examined on former occasions were then read over. Mr. BROUGHTON then asked each prisoner if he had anything to say, giving them the usual caution, that what they said would be taken down in writing, and might be used against them on their trial. None of the prisoners, however, said anything, and they were all fully committed for trial, with the ex ception of Robinson, who was discharged with a caution. The court, as on all the previous examinations, was crowded to excess. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 9. HOLLOWAY V. HOLLOWAY.-INJUNCTION. This case came on for argument, by appointment, o -day. Mr. TURNER opened the case for the plaintiff, and stated that the injunction which he was instructed to move for could hardly be refused under the circum stances it was his duty to state • and the affidavits which had been filed by the defendant since the case was before the Court very imperfectly attempted to answer the case made out by the plaintiff in behalf of the injunction. He read the following affidavits : " Thomas Holloway, the inventor of the ointment and pills, deposed that in the year 1837 the plaintiff invented an ointment, and in 1839 a pill, since known as ' Holloway's Pilla and Ointment,' which for seve ral years had a high repute with the public for their curative and healing qualities ; and that large quanti ties were now sold in the United Kingdom, and in all quarters of the globe ; that the plaintiff had ex pended 150,0001. in establishing the sale of his medi cines, which are more extensively sold than any pa tented medicine in use. About May last the defendant (Henry Holloway) commenced the sale of his pills and ointment, at No. 9, Walbrook, and since then at 210, in the Strand ; and the defendant described the latter to be his manufactory, but the premises consisted of only two empty rooms on the second floor. The de fendant had stated in his advertisements that he had expended large sums of money in advertising his me dicines, which assertion the plaintiff denied, and al leged that he had not expended in advertisements more than one pound per week at the utmost, and that sum only for colourable purposes. The affidavit of Mr. Thomas Young, of Hatton-garden, deposed that he had learned from the defendant himself that the defendant had applied to the Stamp-office to have medical stamps struck off for him, with the word.F, Holloway's, Pills and Ointment,' engraved thereon, which the authorities refused to do. He had then stated that he should carry out his speculation without being obliged to advertise the medicines, as his bro ther had already sufficiently advertised them, and would continue to do so." William Hall, MO, Strand, said the defendant had hired part of his shop-window for the sale of his pills and ointment. The defendant informed the said William Hall that his pills and ointment were pre pared and made up for sale in such a manner as to resemble those of the plaintiff, so that they might be sold for the plaintiff's; and to a remark that the initial letter "H " of the surname of the de fendant would betray the deceit, the defendant re plied that would never be noticed by the public. Amy Newberry's deposition was, that she had used for a twelvemonth the pills and ointment of the plain tiff with good effect for the dropsy ; that on the 25th of September last she purchased both pills and oint ment at a shop in Harrow-road, which proved to be injurious to her on two occasions, when she took eight of the pills. The pills, upon examination, were found not to be those of the plaintiff. Other affidavits were read, which proved that the defendant had ob tained his recipe for his pills from a young medical student, and another for the ointment from a different party, and that neither had been prepared in the same manner as the plaintiff had prepared his, though they were put up in boxes and pots of the same make as those of the plaintiff's medicines, with labels corres ponding in nearly every respect, and in wrappers and direction papers copied almost literally from those made by the inventor. There were other affidavits to prove that the defendant had endeavoured to in duce patent medicine vendors to sell the de fendant's pills and ointment as those of the plaintiff, and that they had been offered at a reduced price, or to be left on sale or return ; that he had failed to induce the Messrs. J. Pratt and Co., potters, of Lane Dolph, Staffordshire, to furnish him with pots of the pattern of the plaintiff, haling inscriptions burnt in upon them, purporting to contain his ! Hol loway's Ointment; that he had given instructions to Gayneau, to draw up two direction papers, consist ing of twelve and of eight pages, the s a me number of pages as are used by the plaintiff; which papers were to be only a little altered in phrases from those of the plaintiff, so a 3 to deceive buyers into the belief they were purchasing the plaintiff's medicines ; that he had succeeded in getting lithographers, pill-cutting machine-makers, &c., to aid the defendant in his de ception, and that some of the wholesale dealers told him that they must refuse to vend his medicines un less specially asked for, as his was too palpable a de ception. The Learned Counsel (with whom was Mr. Miller) remarked that the case could hardly by possibility be carried further to prove that a gross fraud had been practised upon the trade, and,the cus tomers of the plaintiff, and that the pirating of the plaintiff's boxes, labels, and printed productions, fully authorised the Court to grant the injunction. Mr. ROUPEL, for the defendant, observed that the plaintiff was fully aware for some time that the defen dant had been making the medicines; the names were idem sonans, and likely to be confounded. The plaintiff had his action at common law, and yet had not availed:himself of it. The defendant had not had sufficient time to put in such an answer as he might have done had he had an opportunity to do so. COURT OF .EXCHEQUER, Nov. 11. (Sittings in Banco.) BUSSARD V. DROTHERTON AND ANOTHER. This case was tried Mora the Lord Chief Baron at the last sittings in Middlesex, when a verdict was granted for the plaintiff. Mr. Luau now moved, in pursuance of leave reserved at the trial to enter a nonsuit, or a verdict for the defen dant, or, failing in that, for a new trial, on the ground of the verdict being against evidence. It was an action for the non-acceptance of a quantity of rape oil which had been shipped by the plaintiff from France, and con signed to the defendants, who are oil merchants, carrying on business in Hungerford-market. On the arrival of the oil in London the defendants refused to take it, on the ground that there had been considerable delay in its transmission, and that it had not 'been delivered within the time agreed upon, and the main question in the case arose on the correspondence which passed between the parties previous to the contract being made. The Court granted a rule. (Before Baron MARTIN and a Common Jury.) HARVEY V. HUDSON. This was an action against the defendant as keeper of the Queen's Prison, for not obeying a writ of hab. corp. ad sat., issued to charge one . Hallows in ex ecution at the suit of the plaintiff, and for permitting the prisoner to be at large on the return of the day of the writ. The defendant pleaded not guilty by statute. Mr. Badeley appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Wat son, Q.O , for the defendant. • _ The plaintiff obtained judgment against Hallows in February, 1849. In January, 1850, Hallows being in custody at the suit of another, person, presented his petition under the Insolvent Act, and the vesting - order was made on the 7th January. On the 28th March, 1850, the plaintiff issued the writ of habeas corpus ad sat., requiring the defendant to have the body of Hal lows, then in his custody, in court on the first day of Easter Term next (15th April), to be charged in exe cution on the judgment obtained by plaintiff. Hallow's petition was heard on the Bth April, before Mr. Commis sioner Phillips, who on that day made an adjudica tion that the prisoner should be "forthwith" dis charged as to all debts but that of the plaintiff, and as to that, that the prisoner should be discharged from custody, and entitled to the benefit of the Act so soon as he should have been in custody at the suit of the plaintiff for the period of three calendar months, to be computed from the time of making the vesting order. A warrant for the liberation of the prisoner was drawn up in conformity with this adjudication, where upon the defendant immediately discharged the pri soner from custody, and returned to the writ of ca. sa. that the prisoner had been so discharged as to the debt of the plaintiff in pursuance of the warrant ; the period of three months from the date of the vesting order having already expired. For the defendant it was contended that the pri soner was entitled under the circumstances to his im mediate discharge and at any rate that the defendant was justified in liberating him in obedience to the warrant, on the authority of the case of " Thomas v. Hudson," 14 M. and W. 353, 16 M. and W. 885. On behalf of the plaintiff it was argugd that, by 1 and 2 Vict., c. 110, the Commissioner had power only to discharge " forthwith," or at some " future time," to be computed from the making the vesting order ; that this must mean a time future to the adjudica tion, and, therefore, that an order to discharge the prisoner at a past time was insensible and invalid ; secondly, that tbis defect appearing on the face of the warrant, the defendant was not protected under the principle laid down in the case cited; lastly, that the warrant to discharge the prisoner from then existing custody did not in any way affect the defendant's duty to obey the writ of ca. sa , directing him to bring up the body of the prisoner at a future day. His LORDSHIP, however, was of opinion that the adjudication was not defective; and even if it were, that the defendant was justified in obeying the warrant on the authority of "Thomas v. Hudson,' and therefore directed the jury to find a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 11. (Sittings in Banco.) DOE ON THE DEMISE OF HOPKINS V. PRICE. In this case, which was argued a few days ago, The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said he had consulted Mr. Baron Parke with reference to the application which had been made, and the Court was of opinion that there should be a rule.—Rule granted. COMMISSARY COURT OF SURREY, Doctors' Commons. Nov. 11. (Before Dr. HAGGARD.) PARKS V. PARKS.—DITORCE. In this case Mrs. Mary Ann Parks promotes a suit fur a divorce, on the ground of adultery, against her husband Thomas Wilson Parks. The affidavit of Henry Cunningham stated that he had been a workman to plaintiff, and now served the defendant. He traversed the statements of se veral of the plaintiff's witnesses, admitting that he had solicited orders for Henry Holloway's medicines, but denying that he had represented them to be the plain tiff's medicines. The defendant's affidavit stated that he had obtained the secret of preparing his ointment from a party, and not being similar to that of the plaintiff. He denied that in making the application to Somerset House on two occasions to have a dis tinctive stamp he intended to practise any deception on his brother or pirate his invention. Mr. White followed on the same side ; and upon Mr. Turner rising to reply, Lord .LANGDALE said he would not trouble the Learned Counsel to reply upon the case. The names of the plaintiff and of the defendant in this case were the same. His Lordship did not, he said, mean to abridge the right of the defendant to vend an article in which he dealt, but he could have no right to pre pare and get up that article so as to resemble the article invented by the plaintiff, and thereby deceive the public into a belief that it was that of the plaintiff. It was only necessary to refer to the evi dence of Gayneau to see that the defendant had given orders that the direction papers of the plaintiff should serve as a guide or model of the pamphlets which the defendant wished him to prepare, so as to pass with the public as the pamphlets of the plaintiff. This was a direct avowal of an intention to commit a fraud upon the plaintiff. It was stated also to Hall, by the defendant, that the introduction of the initial letter " H" for Henry would never be no ticed, and the medicines might be very well sold as those of his brother. This was certainly a description of property which was protected by law, and when it came under the jurisdiction of the Court it must have the benefit of that protection. The only thing which pressed upon the Court was the suggestion that the defendant had not had time enough to put in a suffi cient answer. His Lordship, would, therefore, intro duce into the terms of the order for the injunction which he was determined to grant in this instance, permission to the defendant to move to dissolve the injunction should he be provided with sufficient evi dence to contradict the plaintiff 's affidavits. The injunction as prayed by the plaintiff's bill was accordingly granted.

It was pleaded on behalf of the wife that the par ties were married in May, 1844, shortly after which Mrs. Parks was compelled to leave her husband owing to his neglect and ill-conduct, and reside with her friends, not apprising him of her place of residence. That in the course of the year 1845 Mr. Parks went to live at Hereford, where he followed the profession of a solicitor; and that while so residing he became acquainted with females of loose character, with whom he carried on an adulterous intercourse during the years 1846 and 1847. It pleaded that the wife was first informed of her husband's misconduct in this re spect in the year 1843, when she immediately in structed her professional adviser to commence the proceedings now before the court. The allegation given in by the husband pleaded an alibi withregard to the charge of adultery, and denied the other misconduct imputed to him. That the whole case not only entirely failed deficit probatio, but that thelCourt would see such evident marks of distinct de termination to evade her duty on the part of Mrs. Parks, that one of her modes to evade this was to trump up a false charge of adultery. Dr. R. PHILLIMORE, on behalf of the wife, con tended that the adultery of Mr. Parks was fully and amply established by the evidence, and the counter plea set up by him altogether failed in proof. That at the time of her marriage Mrs. Parks, who was pos.. ceased of upwards of 30,0001. settled upon her, was deceived by her husband with respect to his debts and liabilities, and also his religious and moral character ; and that shortly after such marriage she was grossly neglected by him, he never taking his meals with her, and coming home at all hours of the night. The Learned Advocate contended she was therefore per fectly justified in withdrawing, and placing herself where she could be free fronrthe molestations of this man, and that the whole conduct of the husband, as proved by his own witnesses, was such as fully to justify the steps taken by Mrs. Parks in the case. With regard to the counter plea of an alibi, he con tended it was not proved ; but that on the contrary, an act of adultery was clearly proved against Mr. Parks, on a certain evening in 1845, with a female of loose character near Hereford. He therefore called upon the Court to hear the prayer of the wife. Dr. Twass appeared on the same side. Drs. HARDING and BAYFORD were heard on behalf of the husband. They contended the present case was one of persecution on the part of Mrs. Parks. That she, having determined, in defiance of her mar riage vow and every obligation, not to live with her husband, and having an ample command of money, and also having unscrupulous friends, wilfully deserted him with the deliberate purpose of never returning to cohabitation. That having succeeded in baffling all his searches for about two years, as soon as he found her, and was preparing to assert his undoubted right, she, with the assistance of her friends , got him placed in prison by making him an insolvent d e bt or , an d a f terwar d s trumped up the present charge of adultery, employing a solicitor of Hereford for that purpose, and having recourse to the police inspector at that place, by whose means women of the town were induced to come for ward and swear falsely. They contended the medical testimony was only on a par with the rest of taking the whole of the evidence, Court could for one moment rely i t t he w c a a s s s e u ; ci a i n a d s th n a o t, upon. The Learned Ad vocates submi tt e d it was a case of deficit probatio , a nd broken dow n from be ginning to end, and that no reason whatever had been shown why the Court should deny the marital rights to Mr. Parks. Dr. R. PIIILLIMORE and Dr. Twos being heard in reply. The Learned JUDGE said there had been many topics urged and discussed in the course of this case which appeared to the Court not to advert to the real issue in it, and therefore he felt it would not be in cumbent on him to follow all the arguments which had been adduced on collateral or outside points. The marriage of the parties took , place in May, 1844, Mrs. Parks being the senior I of the two her husband being abou t thirty, and herself forty years of age. The lady was pos sessed of a considerable fortune at the time of her marriage, and there appeared to have been an acces sion to that fortune at the death of her uncle, in 1846, with whom she was residing, and at whose house the parties cohabited until their final separation. From the evidence of the ladies of the name of Col lins, who were related to Mrs. Parks, and who lived in the same house with her and her husband, it ap peared the marriage was not a happy one ; that there were many differences between the parties ; and that shortly before Mrs. Parks withdrew herself from her husband's sight and knowledge, in October, 1846, owing to his violent conduct she went into hysterics, and became so unwell as to require medical treat ment, Mr. Parks on that occasion went down to Hereford without his wife, but declared his intention of returning and fetching her away by force. Upon this Mrs. Parks withdrew herself, and kept her place of residence a secret from her husband. Without in the slightest degree vindicating the course adopted by the wife, it appeared to him (Dr. Haggard) that the act, although her own, was forced upon her by her husband's conduct, and if she did improperly withdraw herself in the eye of the law, at least that would not justify Mr. Parks in adopting unlawful measures. The Court could not therefore approve of his conduct, when in 1848 he avowed his intention of compelling Mrs. Parks by violence to cohabit with him. Stripping the case, THE HAT NUISANCE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sii,—Now that the great Exhibition is fairly before the public it is gratifying to notice the desire evinced by all classes to appear before our numerous foreign guests the intelligent and active nation we enjoy the credit of being, whilst at the same time the opportunity is seized upon of directing attention to all necessary reforms amongst ourselves. I am desirous, Sir, through your courtesy, of avail ing myself of the columns of The Sun to direct a little of that attention to a subject of the highest import ance, concerning, as it does, not only the personal comfort and convenience of all, but even the reputa tion of the nation for judgment and good taste. I allude, Sir, to the abominable fashion of disfiguring our persons with those ugly and inconvenient articles of dress—hats. Can nothing be done in this approaching eventful year to remove this outrage on good taste, this relic of barbarism ? Ugly and cumbersome, heavy and uncomfortable, without a single recom roendation, it neither protects the face from sun, wind, or rain—is always in the way when not in use, and when on the head a disfigurement to the person — perhaps the only alloy in an English gentleman's costume. Of the truth of this latter argument what better proof can be had than in the fact of the in - variable rejection of the hat in every work of art, whether painting or sculpture. Who would think of having his portrait taken with his hat on ? Yet such is not the case is those countries not cursed with such a frightful fashion. The graceful Spanish hat, or even the Turkish turban, form a picturesque and lively adornment to a picture. Surely it is only necessary to arouse the public from its apathy on the subject, and a convenient substitute will soon be found. The en suing year will afford an opportunity for the much desired change, which should not be suffered to escape. The appearance of so many foreigners and styles of dress will enable us to set the tyrant fashion for once THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1.2, 1850. however, of all preliminary matters, the question was, what were the charges adduced against Mr. Parks, and by what evidence and to what extent were they supported ? After going fully through the evidence as to the commission of adultery by the husband in the month of August or September, 1845, at the Rose and Crown Inn, near Hereford, the Learned Judge said he was of opinion the identifica tion of Mr. Parks, as the individual to whom the circumstances deposed to attached, had not been clearly made out ; and, therefore, that charge must be dismissed from further consideration. The evidence in the case went to show that at a later period there was a disposition on the part of Mr. Parks to have criminal connexion with a female, but that, according to her own testimony, he failed in his attempts ; but the testimony of another witness, who spoke to the adultery of Mr. Parks in 1847, was not sufficient, in the opinion of the Court, looking at the habits of life of the witness and its uncorroborated nature, to fix him with the offence. The testimony, however, of a medical gentleman who attended Mr. Parks during an illness in July and August, 1847, went to show that at such time Mr. Parks was labouring under a disease occasioned by improper conduct. This evidence had not been con tradicted. Unexplained as it was, the Court must take it as evidence of intercourse on the part of Mr. Parks with some profligate woman. The Learned Judge was borne out in this view by the observations of Lard Stowe], on the admission of the libel in "Pop , kin v. Popkin," reported in the supplemental volume of 1 vol. Ecclesiastical Reports, page 763. Under all these circumstances, the Court was of opinion that in the months of July and August, 1847, Mr. Parks was guilty of adultery, and that Mrs. Parks was therefore entitled to the sentence of separation which she prayed.

I _ Thomas Wright, a middle-aged man of respectable ap pearance, was charged with the following outrageous conduct, by which the life of Mr. James White, of the Cambridge Arms, in Oxford-street, is considered in danger : —On Saturday night last the prisoner, accom panied by a well-dressed woman, entered the parlour of the prosecutor's house, and, having been served with some refreshment, conducted themselves in a very im proper manner, upon observing which the barmaid in formed her master, and he, coming into the room, re monstrated with the prisoner for his indecency, when the woman assailed the prosecutor with a torrent of abuse. Mr. White then desired them both to leave the house, when the prisoner threw the contents of a glass of gin-and-water into his face, followed up the attack by burying," as the witness said, the bottom of the glass in his skull, and, as the prosecutor was fainting, struck him another blow on the head with a stick. The prisoner was then secured by some persons who, alarmed by the bar-maid, rushed into the room and rescued the prosecutor in a senseless condition. Mr. HALL remanded the prisoner to Thursday, in order to ascertain the chances of Mr. White's recovery, as he is said to be in a precarious condition. CL EIiKEN WELL. Mr. John Dobbey, who, for many years past has held the situation of porter of Gray's-inn, appeared to answer a summons, obtained at the instance of the parish authorities of St. Andrew's parish, Holborn, to show cause why he refused to maintain his wife. Mr. James attendEtd on the part of the parish, and Mr. Duncombe for the defendant, who set up a plea of adultery. The case, it may be recollected, was postponed for a fortnight, until yesterday, for the production of further and more satisfactory evidence. Mr. Duncombe now called Mrs. Ellen Ellis, of No. 8, Harp-alley, Smith field, who said that Mrs. Dobbey always passed her, self off to her as being a widow, but that she had married a cripple who sold water-creases in the street, and his name was Bevan. Mrs. Dobbey—You are a liar. I never saw you before. By Mr. Duncombe—l saw them enter a house of bad repute together in Shire-lane, and another in West-street, Smithfield. She requested me not to tell anybody. Mrs. Dobbey (in a great passion)—She has been bought over by that rogue (pointing to her husband). The wretch has perjured herself. Mr. James Pray Mrs. Ellis what are you ? Mrs.jEllis—My husband sellsihighsters (oysters) and wilks in Smijle (Smithfield.)—(A laugh.) Mr. James—l suppose he nets a large profit by his trade ? Mr. Duncombe objected; perhaps they might come upon him for the income-tax.—(A. laugh.) Mrs. Ellis—l have seen her and Bevan frequently together. Mrs. Dobbey (enraged)—You lying faggot, you knows you used to go home drunk and to bed three times a day to get sober. She was here ordered out of court, when, on the officer interfering, she threatened him, and abused Mr. Duncombe, her husband, and Mrs. Ellis in violent and unmeasured terms until she was ejected. Mary Shands, of No. 2, West-street, Smithfield, proved that a fat gentleman on two occasions accom panied Mrs. Dobbey to that house. She saw them there together last Friday night week, when Mrs. Dobbey was " werry tipsy." Other evidence was gone into, when Mr. COMBE said his mind was made up on the sub ject, and he dismissed the summons. The defendant was accordingly liberated, and re lieved of all liability to support Mrs. Dobbey, who was evidently excited and chagrined. every obstacle in his way that he could. When he went for information the landlord told him to go to -, and called his waiter to kick him out of the house. Mr. BINGHAM decided on granting summonses against the landlord and waiter, and adjourned the case until next Monday. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. / TA TTERS ALL'S -YESTERDAY.

Mr. John Goldsmid, of Mecklenburgh-square, was summoned before Mr. Bingham for an alleged assault on George Trenamen, a revenue officer. The complainant stated he had occasion, in the dis charge of his duty, to serve a notice paper on the landlord of the Blue Posts Tavern, Haymarket. He went there for that purpose on Friday evening last, and when he got into the house he observed several persons, male and female, before the bar, amongst whom was the defendant. As he was giving in the notice paper the defendant came forward and looked over his shoulder, remarking that he would pay the b— lot for the landlord. The defendant then asked him to have something to drink, and he de clined. The defendant asked him to shake hands, and to this he said he had no objection. He held out his hand, upon which the defendant laid hold of him by the waistcoat and shirt and forced him back rudely towards the stairs. The defendant repeated this rudeness with greater violence, and complainant then declared he would give the defendant into custody for the assault. He requested the landlord to give him the defendant's name—the landlord made light of the affair, and said he lived by such persons as the defendant. Complainant persisted in his determi nation to call a constable. The landlord said if he did he would gat himself into trouble, as the defendant was one of the " great City men." Complainant was obliged to leave the place without the address of the defendant, but by the exercise of some perseverance he managed to find out who the defendant was, and he got a summons against him immediately. Mr. BINGHAM asked the defendant what answer he had to make to the complaint. The defendant said his answer was, the complainant had made a complete mistake. He was at Brighton at the time of the alleged assault, and that he could prove, if necessary, by the evidence of members of his family and his servants. Mr. BINGHAM asked the complainant if he might not be mistaken in the identity of the person he accused. The complainant had no doubt whatever that the defendant wai the gentleman who used him as he had described. He could not be mistaken, and there was the landlord and the head-waiter who could also identify the defendant. The defendant said next Wednesday week his family would be in town for the winter. If the case were put off until that day he would be able to bring ample evidence that he was at Brighton, and not in London, at the time the complainant said he was assaulted. Mr. BINGHAM remarked the assault was of no very serious character—it was more in the nature of an in sult; therefore, if the defendant had committed an act of forgetfulness about his not being in town at the time, he should advise him to arrange with the com plainant, which might be done without much diffi culty. The defendant adhered to his statement. Mr. BINGHAM said, as the defence was one of mis taken identity, the defendant had a right to be beard in support of his plea. Could the defendant attend the next day ? The defendant said it was settling day in the City, and he could not leave business with out great inconvenience. Mr. BINGHAM said he would spare the defendant the expense of bringing witnesses from Brighton by adjourning the case until next Monday, in order to procure the attendance of the landlord and the waiter.
