This was a suit in which the Queen's Proctor in tervened. Some time ago the petitioner, an artist, residing at 7, Melbury-terrace, Harewood-square, presented a petition to the court praying for dis solution of his marriage. After hearing the evi dence, the Judge Ordinary ordered a decree nisi, but, from certain circumstances becoming known, the Queen's Proctor intervened, and to-day a great deal of evidence was offered to the court to show that the petitioner at the time of his appli cation to the Court had been guilty of the greatest immoralities. A number of police constables were called, who proved the statement of the Queen's Proctor, at the conclusion of whose examination the Judge Ordi nary ordered the decree to be dissolved. WHITTLE V. WHITTLE. This was a suit for judicial separation, presentel by the wife against the husband on the grauud of cruelty and desertion. The petitioner was the daughter of a gentleman named Spence, residing at Kilworth, near Sutton, Yorkshire, previous to the marriage with the re spondent, who was a cleygyman of the Church of England. After the marriage they lived at various places, but in 1856 Mr. Whittle became curate of a parish in Berkshire, and a year later on he com menced those cruelties which culminated in 1859, an I led to his wife leaving her home. The respondent, it was stated by the learned counsel (Sergeant Parry) who opened the case, treated the petitioner with the greatest cruelty, striking her, and desiring her to become the familiar friend of one of her domestics named Alethia Grey. There were at this time five children living, the oldest 16, the youngest nine, and unrestrained by the presence of his own son and daughter, he used to act in such a manner that it was impossible she could continue to live with him. A number of letters were read, written by the respondent, promising better conduct, but it was felt, under the circumstances, imperative to pro ceed witli the present petition. The case will not conclude to-day. The petition is supported by - Mr. Sergeant Parry, Dr. Spinks, and Mr. Serle ; and Dr. Deane, Mr. Coleridge, and Mr. Montague Chambers are engaged in the suit. ROMAN CA71101.10 PRISONERS. There are 400 Roman Catholic prisoners in the house of Correction at Westminster. Five years ago a priest of their owu ChurclL,,wassern vie.p.s ~f ot per mitted to perform for the m t ne could only see them indivi dually. A small party of the justices, however, made a resolute fight against this intolerant arrangement, and after two or three defeats succeeded in putting themselves into a majority, and the Roman Catholic service is now per mitted to be performed for the Roman Catholic prisoners. But, as everybody knows, the service of that Church requires for its due celebration cer tain accessories, and notably music, which is especially calculated to waken in the mind devo tional emotions. A Catholic lady, feeling this, offered to present a harmonium, and attend and play it gratuitously in the prison services ; but the visiting justices refused permission, although they bad lately purchased a similar instrument for use in the Protestant chapel. This has naturally excited considerable indig nation among the Roman Catholics generally, which has found expression in two pamphlets, one of which employs the weapon of ridicule ; the other preferring serious argument. The former is a comic poem, very cleverly written, entitled " Biddy," illustrated by the humorous pencil of Doyle, and which professes to relate the prison adventures of an Irish female convict. The other treats of " The Conversion of the Visiting Justices," and describes what progress has been made, and claims what further i s due. We trust that a portion, at least, of the claim will be very soon admitted. Notice has been given by Mr. E. W. Cox that at the next sessions be will move " That the visiting justices be em powered to permit the use of all things requisite for the proper celebration of the Roman Catholic ser vices is the prison at Westminster." If this should be carried, there will remain to be performed but one further act of justice, the payment of the Roman Catholic priest for his care of 400 Catholic prisoners, as the Protestant clergyman is paid for the care of a less number of Protestant prisoners.— Lazy 2irnes.

During the time the steam dredging machine was at work in Chatham harbour clearing away an ob struction near the entrance to the third dock, in which the ironclad turret-ship Monarch is building, the machine came in contact with the half of an old vessel, which is believed to have sunk in the river upwards of a century since. Attempts have since been made to remove the obstruction by charges of gunpowder, for which purpose divers of the Royal Engineers have been down and placed the charges beneath the vessel's bottom. The explosion of the powder has, however, had very little effect on the hull of the vessel, as only a few of the timbers have been blown up, and attempts are now being made to raise the obstruction by means of large 'flooring lighters. It is a singular circumstance that the existence of a sunken vessel so near the outlet of one of the docks does not appear to have been known to any of the dockyard officials. FIVE PERSONS DROWNED.—The Orkney Herald reports that on Saturday last a boat, containing Captain Atkinson, of the barque Excelsior, four of his crew, and one pas eager, was capsized off the Ophir coast. The captain alone was saved. The boat was returning from the shore to the barque, after some provisions had boon purchased at Kirkwall. The barque was bound to Now haven (U.S.), front Sunderland. A Sunderland fishing coble, manned by three men, Was lost off that port on Welzmqay night. The bodies Kaye not Dom remora PREFERENCE SlilLitES. Great Eastern. E.

SHARE LIST. command o the sea these forts would not bo needed, and when we lost it our true line - of defence would not be on • he sea coast, but 40 miles inland. General HERBERT maintained that the forts were ne cessary for the preservation of our naval supremacy. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE made some obServations in condemnation of this useless expenditure, and Sir J. PAKINGTON, in reply, complained that no no tice bad been given of tho character of the resolution. While disclaiming for himself and the Government all re- Tonsibility for the scheme of fortifications, he vindicated Lord Palmerston's patriotic motives in proposing it, and pointed out the fairness of making allowance for the great advance in our military system. He defended at length the judgment and bone fides of the War Office in conduct ing the experiments on the forts and the shiel is, and ex phined that to satisfy the public mind he had recently appointed a committee to examine into the state of the fortifications. He was anxious to make the committee as strong ag possible, but he doubted whether this would be the result of increasing its numbers, and certainly it would not be gained by putting two members of PaJlanient on it. To suspending the expenditure at once he ',united out strong objections. Mr. CHILDERS insit ted that the. present Government, as most of its members had voted for the original scheme, were as responsible for it as any other part of the house. fie pointed out that by interfering; with the composition 01 the committee the house would make itself responsible for its proceedings, and suggested an amendment in Mr. O'Beirne's resolution which would have the effect of sus pending only those works for which contracts have not been issued, and the stoppage of which would not tr. 3 seri ously injurious to the public interest.. Lord ELCHO supported this amendr9ont, and Mr. O'BEIRNE consented to it, but Mr. BAZLEY advocated complete and final stoppage of all expenditure. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON did not feel himself at liberty to accede to the reversal of an important national policy without notice and without the opportunity of consulting his colleagues. Sir G. GREY replied that the object of the amendment was not reversal of the policy of the fortifications, but to ascertain whether the plan on which they had been con structed was judicious. But he admitted the strength of Sir J. Pakington's plea of want of notice, and advised au adjournment of the debate. On the question of notice the SPEAKER made some on: servations, pointing out the great inconvenience of bring ing on resolutions of this character without notice. The suggestion for adjournment was not accepted, and on a division Mr. Childer's resolution was rejected by 93 to 48. In reply to a question from Mr. AYRTON as to the con stitution of tho now Bank of Bombay, Sir S. NORTIICOTE stated that he had approved the Bombay Government taking shares in the new Bank, but had accompanied it with the condition that a commission should inquire into the general subject of Government connection with these institutions. Jn Committee of Ways and Means a vote V £600,000 for the issue of Exchequer Bonds was agreed to. The Artisans' and Labourers' Dwellings Bill was read a third time and passed, a motion of Mr. Ayrton to recommit it being negatived after a short discussion. The house adjourned at half past 12 o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. -TINS DAY MARLBOROUGH -STREET. BRUTAL ASSAULT BY A TALL' MAN.—William Young, a tallytnan, was charged with assaulting Susan Lee, a poor woman, residing at Cirencester place, Portland-street. Mr. Mottim, secretary for the Protection of Women and Children, Haymarket, watched the case on behalf of the society. It appeared from the evidence of the com plainant that she was one of the defendant's un fortunate dupes, and was indebted to him in the sum of 7s. 6d. balance of a bill due to the tallyman payable by easy instalments of l.s. per week, and when on the 30th ult. the tallyman found that the widow was not prepared with her mite he gave her a most savage blow with a heavy stick across the head, another blow on the arm, and a black eye with his fist. _ _ Eliza Wilson corroborated the complainant's evi. dence. - - - • - _ Mr. D'Eyncourt asked the defendant what he had to say in answer to the charge. The defendant admitted striking the complainant with his walking stick, but denied striking her in the eve with his fist. Mr. D'Eyncourt said the case was clearly proved against him, and fined him 103 and costs, or 14 days Lard labour in default. TIIAIIES. A LOAN SOCIETY-400 rEn CENT. —John Webber; aged 60 years, of No. 7, Sidney-terrace, Bow, bookbinder, was brought before. Mr. Benson charged with obtaining the sum of £5, and a coat value 10s., by false and fraudulent pretences, from Caul Rousen, a tailor, of 72, New-road, Whitechapel. The prosecutor, a Jew, said he conducted a loan society—he was the society. In December last the prisoner applied for a loan of £5, and then gave the name of a person in Lucas-street, St. George-in-the-East, living directly opposite to him. He was not satisfied with one security, and de manded another, which was furnished. The pri soner showed him receipts for rent purported to be signed by his landlord for two years. He speed to lend the prisoner £5, and advanced him the money in the presence of his two sureties, Mr. Chaplin . and Mr. Pate, deducting 12s. 6 . 1. for in terest, in addition 2s. 6d. for inquiries, which was for work and labour done. Mr. Benson. said that 15s. was paid for the loan of £5 for 40 weeks, to be paid at the rate of 2s. 6d. per week. It was an enormous rate of interest. For the last half-crown, the 40th week, it would be at the rate of 400 per cent. It must be a very profitable business. Rousen said that it was not profitable, he lost a good deal of money by it. (A. laugh.) He thought the prisoner .was an honest man, he was deceived. The prisoner did not lire two years in the house in Lucas-street, and the receipts for four quarters' rent were not signed by the landlord. The prisoner bought a coat from him for £3 103., which he was- to pay for by instalments, but he left his house. Pate left Chaplin, and they all ran away together. He found the prisoner and his confederates in another loan office, where he was about to receive £lO, and he stopped it. Mr. Benson said that the prosecutor did not lend £5 on the prisoner's security only, nor upon that and Pates' combined, for he was dissatisfied with them, and was not satisfied with the alleged receipts of the prisoner's landlord. Additional security was provided, and all three turned out bad. After two weekly payments on the loan, and a payment of 10s. on the coat, further payments were discon tinued. Ile was quite astonished at the enor mous• rate of interest, being 12s, 61. for a loan „of £5, and that was in addi tion to the inquiry money. He did not think any jury would convict in this case.. The prosecutor ought to couduct the business of bits society. _ R3u - sen—l am the society—myself the society. Mr. Benson said he did not feel justified iu send ing this case before a jury, and the prisoner would be discharged, but he did not approve of his con duct at all. Rousen asked if Webber could bring an action against him for false imprisonment. Mr. Benson shook his head, and said, " I have nothing to do with that." CHAPEL ROYAL, SAVOY.—The Very Bev.

Tho concluding day of the Cestrian gathering was com paratively dull and uninteresting, yot the attendance showed no falling off from any but the big day, as the ring was tolerably well thronged and the minor stands and course pretty thickly studded with company. The weather was again fine. The eight items which the card embraced call for no especial comment, but it may be men tioned that some of the closest finishes of the week were witnessed, heads and necks being the distances by which the majority of the races wore won, and after fine displays of horsemanship.

Paul Jones (offered) Tula FENIANIS3I.—During the race for the Chester Cup, in the last half-mile, a dastardly attempt was made to disable the favourite. A brick was thrown at the two leading horses, but fortunately no more mischief arose than the missile alighting on the thigh of Gratlwell, the rider of The Clown. Mr. Barber, however, assured us there was no doubt the brick was intended for Paul Jouce, and Gradwell was so much hurt that he returned home on Thursday, the lad having evidently undergone a great shock to his nervous system.

Paulet, Adjutant-General, and Sir Hope Grant, Quartermaster-General, visited Aldershot and in spected the division under the command of Lieut.- Gen. the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.B. The regiments formed upon Cove-common shortly before 10 o'clock, and received his Royal Highness with the customary salute. He then made a minute inspection of the ranks, after which the troops marched past in the following order :—Pioneers, bands, and drums of the Ist Infantry Brigade; Staff and Major-Gen. Renny ; Col. Robertson and 2d Battalion Bth Regiment ; Col. Thompson and 54th Regiment; Lieut.-Col. Bowen and sith Regi ment. Pioneers, bands, and drums of the 2d Bri gade ; Staff and Major-Gen. Carey, C.B. ; Fitzsituons and 40th Regiment; Lieut.-Col. Har rison and 80th Regiment. Pioneers, bands, and drums of the 3d Brigade ; Staff and Major-Gen. Sir A. Horsford, K.C.B. ; Lieut.-Col. Agg and 51st (King's U wn) Light Infantry ; Major Grantham and 98th Regiment. They next counter-marched, and went past in quarter distance en masse, and again from the original flank by brigades. Several field movements were then executed, and about half-past 11 the infantry marched towards quarters. The Duke then proceeded to the ground north of the Basingstoke Canal, where he inspected the Cavalry Brigade and the Royal Horse Artillery. After inspection they marched past, the Artillery iu open column of squadrons at a walk, by sections, at a trot, and by batteries at half intervals. The cavalry were then exercised in various movements the 4th Dragoon Guards in the pivot, and the let (King's) Dragoon Guards in the non-pivot drill. At the conclusion the Duke expressed hia approval of the high manner in which each branch of the ser vice had acquitted itself. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER. The directors of this company, including those members who represent the debenture-holders and' mortgagees on the Board, have issued a circular to the shareholders and mortgagees of this company, in which they state that the bill for the working union between this company and the South-Eastern and Brighton Companies has passed the House of Commons, and that such provisions have been in serted therein as are, in their opinion, requisite for the protection of the interests as well of the debenture holders as of the shareholders of the company, and for leaving the rights of all parties in as nearly as pos sible the same relative position as before, with the xceptiou only that debenture-holders will be called upon to exercise their option as to vesting in the united companies their reversionary rights in the rolling stock. It being obvious to every one, con versant with railway management that a great sav ing of expense and avoidance of wasteful competi tion may be effected by united working, and that such a union to the exclusion of the Chatham Com pany would have left it defenceless against the rivalry of two companies, each more powerful than itself, the directors felt, therefore, under the impe rative necessity of considering very seriously what should be done to protect the interests of the company, and they came to the conclusion that it was necessary to take steps to incluie the Chatham Company in the proposed union. The proportion of the whole net earnings of the future working union of the three compa nies to be assigned to the Chatham Company is to be decided by arbitration. Under the Arrange ment Act of last year property in the rolling stock (after deduction of certain payments to be made to the general creditors) is made part of the security of the mortgagees as defined by the act, subject to the restriction, that the rolling stock must remain in the service and for the use of the company, and without power of sale, during the suspense period of ten years. What may be the rights of the de benture holders as regards the rolling stock after the suspense period is very doubtful, and under the circumstances the directors who represent the de benture holders and mortgagees on the board have no hesitation in decidedly recommending to the debenture holders to transfer the rolling stock to the united companies.

RITUALISM. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY asked where the report of the Royal Commission on Ritualism was, and if it had been ai,nouneA some days ago ? The Earl of MALMESBURY said that it had not yet all been sent to the printer. (Laughter.) NON-ENACIiiENT OF THE APPROPRIATION. ACT IN VICTORIA. Lord LYVEDEN said that it was with the utmost difficulty, so much was the public mind occupied with other exciting topics, that he could arrange to bring on this important matter. lie might perhaps be permitted to state what was the position of the colony of Vict wia with regard to the mother country. It was first ma le a separate .colony in 1850. In 1861 Sir Cherie, Darling, who was then governor, introduced a bid called the Ap propriation Act. A long discussion t iok place upon the subject, and ended in th,. recall of that governor. lie lied served 18 years, and ho wished as far as possible to show how much ho was entitled t_ consideration in the matter. It would be remembered that the G'wernment took from him the 611111 of .£20,000, and Sir Charles acted with the greatest propriety. He courted the fullest inepiiry into the matter. Sir Cteirles comes home, and enters into a correspondence with the noble lord the Secretary of State for the Colonies. He proposes that ho should have a perma nent pension, or that there should be given to him another appointmeLt, or that the money given to hint by the colony should be deposited until a thorough investigation had taken place, but this the noble lord refused to comply with. It was stated that no colonial go vernor should receive pecuniary consideration from the people of the colony during his term of office. It further was stated that no colonial governor should, when ho quit ted his office, receive any present from the people of the colony over which he might have ruled. It would have been far more advantageous that Sir Charles should have accepted the £2,000 at once, and quitted the service. He was a man of 60 years of age, and he would have had about £lO,OOO more than by re maining in of f ice for another throe years. The noble duke (Buckingham) succeeded the Earl of Carnarvon as Secre tary of State for the Colonies. It was alleged by Sir 11. Sutton iu brief to his grace that the Legislative Assembly had not discussed the merits of this vote. Why, they had been discussing nothing else then this vote to Lady Dar ling. it was well known and in everybody's mouth. The noble duke upon this abstained from expresing any opi nion, but contents himself with commending the conduct of the Governor. He considered that the noble duke did not submit thoroughly his own opinions to the governor of the colony. How stood the question? The Legislative Assembly seemed of much the same mind as before the election had taken place. Ile had seen in the newspapers that the Ministry had resigned, that showed the bad effect of the measures taken by the noble duke. If he had been more explicit they would have known what to do. What he wanted now to know of the noble duke was the course about to be pur sued. He should ask for the correspondence on the sub ject of the non-enactment of the Appropriation Act. Tho noble lord then commented upon the inconsistency of the instructions which had been given by the noble duke tont° Government of the colony. Ho considered that the Secre tary of State ought to have been most explicit in the matter. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM said that ho quito agreed with the noble lord that the question was of the utmost importance, and affected th 3 whole of tho colonial interests of this country. The ono portion of the subject affected the interests of the Colonial Government of the various countries, and the other the honour and dignity of the officers of the colonial service. On the one side they bad a distinguished Governor of the Crown, whose sere Ices were much valued, and to whom a grant was about to be made. He thought there could be no doubt of the impropriety of this grant. After a short discussion the subject dropped, and their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS —LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock. EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND. In reply to Admiral ERSKINE, The LORD-ADVOCATE said it was not the intention of the present sessi o n. moisure on the thesub ject of G Bo ScotchviteErnEmcean-t Education L to o i ns n g anylN THE Ann y. Mr. IIAYTER asked the Secretary of State for War whether, having regard to the increased danger to life from the use of breech-loaders in the hands of soldiers either insane or of intemporAte habits, as evidenced by the recent occurrences at Horfield Barracks, near Bristol, .he would undertake to advise with his Royal Highness the Field-Marshal C ommanding-in -Chief as to the propriety of withdrawing the 20 rounds of ball cart ridge now in the po3sessiou of all non-commissioned offi cers and men of the British army, and of serving out the same to the troops on parade when about to proceed on military duty ? Blr i.rAKINGTON said he had not had an opportu nity of consulting the Commander-in-Chief on the subject, but ho might take that opportunity of saying that he did not think that one crime, however atrocious, would be sufficient to justify the doing of that which would be looked upon as a slur upon th whole British army. The soldiers had ha 1 the quantity of ball cartridge in their possession from time iminetairial, and at present ho saw no reason why it should be withdrawn from their care. (Hear, hear.) THE SPRINGBOK. In reply to Mr. BENTINCK, Lord. STANLEY said the papers referring to the con demnation of the cargo of the Springbok wore now under the consideration of the law officers of the Crown, but ho hoped to be able to produce them. very shortly. PAY OF THE ARNIY. Mr. P. WYNDII.A.:if moved that, in the opinion of this house, it would be advantageous and convenient to substi tute a system of weekly in lieu of daily payments to those non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the army whose previous conduct might warrant the extension of this in dulgence. Sir J. PARINGTON said the subject.was ono entirely within the discretion of his Royal Highness the Com mander-in-Chief, and therefore he could not interfere in the matter. The motion was then withdrawn. P U B LIC BUSINESS —THE SCOTCH REFORM Mr. GLADSTONE BILL. said it would be for the convenience of the house if the right hon. gontloman would state the order he proposed to take the public business on Monday next. Supply stood first, and after that the Scotch Reform Bill stood for a second reading, but the hon. member for Liverpool had a motion previous to the house going into committee of supply which would occupy at least two or three hours. The discussion .on the estimates would doubtless occupy some considerable time, so that it did not seem that the Scotch Reform Bill would be considered until a very late hour, a circumstance that would he highly inconvenient if the orders were adhered to. Mr. DISRAELI said ho had just then been speaking to a right hon. gentleman on the subjoct. He did not think that the Scotch Reform bill ought to bo taken at a late hour, and therefore ho proposed to place it the socond in order on Thursday, the Bouudery Bill standing first for that evening. Mr.CRAWFORD thought such an important measure as the Scotch Reform Bill ought not to be placed second on the paper. Ur. DISRAELI thought the best thing he could do at present was to say the Scotch bill would not bo brought forward on Monday, and to defer any future arrangement until after that day. INFECTIOUS DISEASES. Sir J. C. JEItVOISI moved that an bumble address bo presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be graci ously pleased to cause such inquiry to bo instituted into the spread of disease by infeztion as may tend to chock legislation and action in cases unsupported by evidence. Mr. LIDDELL seconded the motion. THE NEW FORTIFICATIONS. Mr. O'BEIRNE made a lengthy speech, arra i gn i ng th e plan on which the new fortifications are being co n str uc ted, He recounted a long series of experim e nt s b o th on th e fortifications and the iron shields to be m oun t e d on th em , j us tifies further outlay at pre sent,from which he maintained that we have not re ac h e d th a t point a o n f d Inowlodgewhich concluded with a res o l ut i on for the addition of two members of Parliament and a second civil engineer to the War-office committee on fortifications, all outlay cn them being suspended till the committee's rcport had been received.

He intimated that the Government would not object to add a civil engineer to the committee, but saw nothing to be gained by employing two members uf the house.
