COWARDLY ATTACK.—Archibald Stevens, a tall, strongly-built man, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with assaulting Mr. Isaac John Syer, ac countant, of No. 6, Charlotte-street, Portland r place. The complainant said that on Saturday afternoon he heard a great disturbance opposite his house, and on looking out of window he saw two men, neither of whom were sober, fighting. One of the men, who was more drunk than the other, was lying on the ground, and his face was covered with blood. He went out to protect the man, and got between the men who were fighting, and told them that if they did not leave he should be a special constable and take them into custody, and as they would not leave off he attempted to do so, when the crowd cried out, " He's a special ; thrash him," and upon this he was attacked by about 20 persons in a rough manner, and while he was being so attacked a lame man was knocked down. The prisoner then came up to him, and accused him of having knocked the man down, struck him in the face, knocked off his hat and smashed it, and then ran away. A constable then came up (Eldridge 79 E), and they pursued the prisoner and took him into custody. A witness named Williams gave similar evidence. The prisoner said that he was told by them that the complainant had knocked down an old man, and believing it he struck the complainant. Mr. Tyrwhitt said there always would be foolish people, and the prisoner had proved himself to be one of them, and had interfered without any reason whatever. The complainant happened to be a spe cial constable, and the prisoner had thought proper to chime in with the mob, a•id to assault him. Th e prisoner would go to prison for 14 days for the as sault, and also have to pay 12s. for the damage to the hat. WESTMINSTER. " PAROCHIAL HUMANITY." —A very creditable looking rowan entrcated tl)e magistrate to relieve 11 , r necessities under the following distressing cir- cumstances : She stated that she had three young children, and owing to her continued poverty had for some time received an allowance of bread from the parish of St. Margaret's and St. John's, Westminster. On Saturday she succeeded in obtaining half a day's work and sent her little girl to the workhouse for her bread. Mr. Catless, the relieving officer, asked where her mother was, and on her reply that she had gone to half a day's work, he said " She could not want bread then," and refused to give her any, and when she got home she found her children starving. In addition to this she had a child lying very ill at home, and was unable to obtain an order for medical aid for it, or for the necessary sustenance. Mr. Ingham —Your remedy is to go before ttc Board and make your complaint. When does the Board meet ? Applicant—l don't know, and if I did it would be of no use. I should not be allowed to go before them. Office-keeper—Thursday is the Board-day: Applicant—What am Ito do till then? I have not got a bit of anything for my three children. Are they to starve? Mr. Ingham—Have you no husband ? .Applicant—No, I have not. I have been a widow these two years, left with these three poor children to strive for. The bread is given for them. I want an order for a doctor as well as food, and I shall not get it without your worship is good enough to interfere for me. Mr. Ingham sent a note with the poor woman, requesting immediate attention to her case. THAMES. MAD DRUNK.—James Rose, a labourer, of Ball's buildings, Whitehorse-street, Ratcliff, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with being drunk and disorderly and assaulting Joseph Fenton and Henry Knott, police-constables of the K division, Nos. 263 and 96. Th e prisoner's head was severely lacerated, an d the front of it covered with a sur gical plaister. He was mad drunk at half past one o'clock yesterday (Sunday) morning and making a disturbance in Ball's Buildings. Th er e was a disorderly m o b, p r i nc i pa ll y I r i s h m en, place was in a sad st a t e o f t urmo il an d con fusion.a n d the Fenton expostulated with the prisoner and others, ons a nd persuaded seve ra l t o re ti re to their le. The prisoner and another man, called houses. Jack Briant, an Irishman, came out of their dwellings again, one armed with a pair of the other with a piec e o f wood, with which th e y attacked Fenton an d K no tt. Fenton tongs, was struck with the tongs, and his eye blackened, and Knott also received a blow from Briant. The mob shouted " Give it them," and a violent struggle took place, in the middle of which Police-Sargeant Freeston, No. 58 K, made his appearance, drew his staff, and dealt the prisoner such a tremendous blow on the head that he fell as if shot. Jack Briant then ran away, and the mob of roughs and blackguards then dispersed. The prisoner's head was dressed by Dr. Ross of Shadwell and his assistants. The wound was a severe one. Mr. Benson sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. (BY TELEGRAPH.) GRAVESEND, Monday Morning.

PETROLEUM FOR FUEL.—A long-promised trial of the liquid fuel burning steamer Island City took place iu Boston harbour on the 4th of March, and was a com plete success. The experiment shown with oil for fuel on the Government steamer roles last summer was eclipsed on the Island City. The engines, machinery, and fuel apparatus were all fresh from the shop, and had not been used; consequently everything was stiff, and Colonel Foote did not feel justified in crowding on either his steam or flame. Ho also used only one of his 11111110115 U air pinups employed m completing the combus . (ion of the general elements in the retorts. The trip fairly demonstrated that a maximum amount of steam could be may stained with oil, at a saving of about 75 per cent. over the use of coal. The safety of the use of oil for fuel i❑ ocean navigation was also shown most satisfactorily, and confirmed the opinion of those who have faith in liquid fuel for steamers iu ocean navigation.— Wall- street Journal. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 6, 18G8. CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. OLD COURT. The April sessions commenced this morning be fore the Lord Mayor and the civic authorities. The calendar is a very heavy one, the principal being the charge of murder against the Desmonds, English, O'Keefe, Barrett, O'Neill, and Ann Justice, for occasioning the death of Martha Evans by the explosion of a barrel of gunpowder, -on the 13th of December, at the outer wall of the House of De- tention, Clerkenwell. The Recorder, in, charging the Grand Jury, said a longer time than usual had elapsed since they had last met, and that circumstance accounted for the great increase in the number of prisoners awaiting trial for offences, he regretted to say, of more than ordinary seriousness. The first case to which he would direct their attention was the charge of wilful murder against seven persons, arising out of the explosion which took place at the House of Deten tion on the 13th of December last, when a portion of the wall of the prison was blown down by an explosion of gunpowder, the houses on the opposite side of the street were destroyed, and Martha Evans killed. They would have to say whether either or all of the persons charged were guilty of the crime of which they stood accused. In the month of December two persons, named Burke and Casey, were confined in the House of Detention on a charge of treason 'felony, and the explosion took place in order to facilitate their Escape. The prisoners all, it is alleged, belonged to the Fenian Brotherhood, the object of which society was to overturn the Queen's Govern ment in Ireland and establish there a republic. Vaughan and Mullady would be the first witnesses examined, and they were infcrmers. They also had belonged to the Fenian Brotherhood, and it woul d be their duty to be very cautious of the information they attached to the evidence of accomplices. Their evidence alone would be insufficient for the jury to act on, and they would therefore have to see how far it was corroborated by those of the other witnesses. It would not be enough to show that they were Fenians, but they must have evidence that the death of the female Evans was caused by the explosion, and that they (the prisoners) were parties to that occurrence. From the evidence they would find that on the fourth of December a large quantity of gunpowder was :purchased, but there was no evidence of identity with respect to either of the prisoners, but that which was the fact was that afterit had been purchased it was taken to a house, 8, Pulteney-court, at which place several of the prisoners were known to visit. On the 12th of December an attempt was made to effect the explosion, but it was unsuccessful, and it would be important to see who was engaged in that proceeding. Timothy Des mond, O'Keefe, and English were identified as being connected with that attempt, which was unsuc cessful on account of the fusee burning out without exploding the gunpowder, when the barrel was taken away by those who had brought it. On the evening of that day they would hear there had been a meet ing of the parties when Barrett described the failure, and said he would take care that the next attempt was successful. It was arranged that in order to give the prisoners Burke and Casey intimation of what was going on outside that a white ball should be thrown over the prison wall, and that was accord- ingly done on the 12th, but the warder attached so little importance to such a proceeding that he picked up the ball and took it home to one of his children. On the next day, the 13th, the explosion took place, when Timothy Desmond, William Barrett, and O'Neill were identified as being in and about the neighbourhood on that day. After the explosion the witness stated that the prisoner Barrett went to the houseof Mullany, and there was seen to wash his hands and neck, which were blackened as if by gunpowder ; and afterwards disguised himself, in order, as he said, to prevent his being identified. He was accompanied by a man who had received an injury to one of his ears, caused, as he said, by having been injured in a fight. This man had not been apprehended, and therefore it was not known to what extent he had participated on the occasion. O'Neill was appre hended with Barrett at Glasgow, and, with respect to Ann Justice, she had been in the habit of visiting Casey, one of the prisoners, for whose oseape the explosion was made, immediately 'before and after which she was seen very near to the [ - louse of De tention. The question for the grand jury was not whose hand had put the light to the barrel, but whether the whole or any of them had conspired to cause he act which led to the death of Martha Evans If they should be satisfied that all or any of them were parties to the firing of the gunpowder, then he would recommend them to find a true bill against all the prisoners, leaving to another tribunal to deal with any point of law or doubt that might arise. There were other cases of murder, he regretted to say. One was the charge against a man named Woolcott, who was accused of causing the death of his son by wilfully drowning him. The next charge of murder was that against William Bishop, who, it was alleged, caused the death of a fellow creature by inflicting a violent wound in the abdomen ; and if they were satisfied there was a prima facie case against him it w ou ld b e th e i r duty to find a true bill against him. The next was a most extraordi nary case. The prisoner was a person named Mary Manning, and she was accused of killing an infant , that had occasionally b een left in her charge, by placing it on the fire. One could hardly imagine such an inhuman act could have been perpetrated by a human being. That the child died from burn ing was beyond all doubt, and the question for them was, was there evidence to satisfy them that the prisoner ought to be called upon to take her trial for the offence ? There were several cases of m anslaughter, all, he regretted to say, arising from the bad habit of d r i n king to excess. One was a most remarkable case : it was an indictment against a woman named Mary Neville, who was charged with putting an infant in a saucepan of boiling water. She denied the charge, and said the child fell over the saucepan containing the water, but the witnesses who went into the room immedi ately after tho circumstance had occurred saw no marks of any water having been spilled on the floor. They would have in this case also to say whether there was sufficient evidence to enable them to find a true bill against the ac cused. The other cases in the calendar were of the usual description, and therefore he would not allude to them further than by saying every assistance would be rendered to the grand jury in the event of their requiring it. One of the jury inquired, in reference to the charges against the seven persons charged with the murder of Martha Evans, whether they had any thing to do with the intentions of the accused. The Recorder said if, after hearing the evidence to be submitted to them, they were of opinion that the prisoners were engaged in setting light to the barrel, then he advised them to return a true bill, leaving all other questions of law to be dealt with and considered elsewhere. I The grand jury then r etired to their room. TIIE CASE OF BURKE AND CASEY. In consequence of a true bill having been re turned against Burke and Casey at War wick Assizes, no mention was made of their case by the learned Recorder in his charge. It is not expected that the trial of these two prisoners will take place before Monday next, on which occasion special arrangements will be made by the Sheriffs for the proceedings. WESTMINSTER ABBEY.—The Dean of West minster will preach at the 3 p.m. service on Good Friday, and at both services, at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., on Easter Sunday. The special evening services at 7 p.m. commence on the first Sunday after Easzer, April 19. The sermon on the first Sunday (April 19) will be preached by tho Dean of Westminster, and on the next Sunday (April 26 . by the Dean of Ely. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Fills.—Protectors of Health. In the hand-to-band struggle fur existence in the present day good health is everything. Holloway's puri fying, digestive, and gently laxative pills are admirably adapted for restoring soundness to invalids, whose func tions are so feebly performed that life itself seems most precarious. The stomach has its many maladies removed by a judicious use of these pills; the torpid liver is roused by them to active secretioD, and every o th e r organ subserv ing digestion is placed atits natural standard, and better fitted for its duties. It is impossible to have a doctor at our elbows at all seasons and places, but these pills will supplant that loss, for they universally act beneficially in every ailment. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. The news from Abyssinia tells of great difficulty or account of the state of the roads. The v.tad between Antalo and Musnoo bad been spoken of as excellent. Bt keying it to be so, before a report from the pioneers 1... t come in recommending the advance, "the Commander-ix, Chief ordered several regiments to be held in readiness t' march upon Atzala, ; but on receipt of intelligence that several of the horses of the 3rd Sind Horse had died from famine and fatigue in crossing this very road, that others . badsustained dislocations of the limbs, andbeen shot where they lay, the propriety of moving was reconsidered. Deli berations were still in progress, when an independent report was received from an officer who had occasion to travel that way which cut the sitting short. Captain Al'Gregor, of the Quartermaster-General's department. declared that he had never seen such country in his life ; and seeing that he is well acquainted with Sikkim and Bboota.n, that was saying a good deal. The ascents and descents were terrific, gradient, length, and ruggedness all contributing to render them impassable. Nor were the more level parts less formidable ; for boulders and rooks of all shapes and sizes, ` Crags, knolls, and rocks, confusedly hurled, The fragments of an earlier world, had been so placed by nature as to present the greatest possible obstacles to the passage of even an unladen mule. As for elephants being able to go on for weeks, the idea was chimerical and absurd; for miles upon miles an elephant could not plant a single footstep with safety. Sorely as Sir Robert Napier frets and fumes at the delay thus unexpectedly forced .upon him, what could he do but rescind the order to march on the morrow, make arrange ments to supplement the already large pioneer force, and inwardly resolve to place less reliance upon the judgment of those whose optic members have already been too often proved unable to convey correct impressions of the nature of even a road, or whose ideas regarding the sort of road required were so extraordinary." Thus wrote the Daily News correspondent on the 11th of March. The letter to the Standard, dated three days later, says :—" On the morning of the 13th Sir Robert Napier started with his staff and an escort at seven o'clock. The rest of the force left at ten precisely. The march was eight miles— a short distance apparently ; but when I state that a great number of the animals did not arrive until eight in the evening, it will be at once seen that it was very much harder work than it appears at first sight. The first three or four miles of this road, or rather track, led along the hill side, and then, as the valley narrowed in and its sides became very precipitous, it kept along the bottom. This part of the march was by far the prettiest and most English we have seen out here. We are travelling in a grove of trees with a thick underwood, except just where a path was cut wide enough for a single mule to pass. A really good-sized streamlet of clear water wound here and there, with quiet pools, and bright tumbling little cascades. Under our feet was a cool green sward, over our heads a shady screen of foliage. Imagine the charm of such a scene to us, who, except in an occasional secluded dell, have scarcely seen a tree, or felt shade, or heard the plash of falling water for months. How we should have liked to have halted, and to have enjoyed the turf and the shade for an hour or two. All olr attention was required, however, for the work in hand, for in many Places we had very rough bits, and the wood nymphs and dryads must have been surely startled at the shouting and tumult which arose in their quiet shades. On each side of us the mountains rose to.a great height, crowned with perpendicular precipices, on one of which, seemingly accessible only to a hind, was the stronghold of some border chief. Presently the mountain sides receded a little, and we emerged into a small plain. In the centre of this ran the stream, and by its side were some very large trees, which I can best describe by saying they resemble oaks with willow leaves. Here we encamped. The troops had taken four hours to do the eight miles." Describing the same spot, anither correspondent says : " The Musgee camp is, with the exception of the lovely spot where I now write, the most pleasant halting-place we have chanced upon for many a day. A level plain of from sixty to seventy acres in extent is bounded on all sides by lofty hills, chain rising above chain as they recede, till their summits seem lust in the clouds." The Post correspondent gives the reason for the march taking place so soon after it had been stated that the road could not be made ready for some time. Colonel Phayre, the Quartennaster-General of the Forces, had for nearly a fortnight been making a most difficult road, when a ready made one lay almost under his very nose. It is almost in credible, but it is nevertheless a fact. If ever a man " put his foot in it " Colonel Phayre did so on this occasion. Information seems to have been ob tained from the native chiefs and guides that there were three routes from Antalo to Atzala—a distance of thirty-two miles. One was immediately discardea as too circuitous, and of the other two, the one was chosen which the natives advised, without any inspection of the second. The advice was simply a ruse of a native chief, who owned a castle situate on the easy route, and feared we should attack it en passant, as allies of King Kassai, against whom he is in rebellion. It is much too bad that, - after four months' experience of Abyssinian lying, deceit, and fraud, which are obvious to the meanest capacity, an officer occupying such a responsible post as that, of Quartermaster-General should allow himself to be so egregiously swindled. The little principality of Montenegro has long been desirous of getting a port on the Adriatic. Latterly its movements have caused anxiety, and Austria and Turkey have both sent ships of war to Cattaro to prevent a tour de force. Sir Dominic Daly, whose death has been announced by telegraph, was the son of a country gentleman in Galway, and nephew of the first Lord Wallscourt. He was born in 1798, and early entered upon colonial life. For twenty six years he was Chief Secretary in Canada ; in 1852 he was appointed Governor of Tobago ; in 1856, Lieutenant- Governor of Prince Edward's Island, and was at the same time knighted. In 1861 he succeeded Sir H. G. Mac donnell as Governor of South Australia, which post he held until his death, February 19. By this event an appointment worth £4,000 a year is placed at the disposi tion of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, the Duke of Buckingham. The Viceroy of Egypt has just opened his Parliament with a Speech from the Throne. He expressed his satis faction at seeing around him the deputies chosen by the people, and urged the importance of dealing with several matters, first of which he considered that of public edu cation. THE AbABAMA CLAIMS.—The New York, Herald (of the 25t4 March) tells us what we ought not to have gone to Amerioa to learn, that "at the prasent moment the British etiblic are in a high state of excitement on the questien of Op Alabama claims. The desire seems to be universal to bah the diffidulty over with as little delay as possible. Stubborn as Lord Stanley remains on one point—the right not Great Drittlin to recognise the belligerent South—he is knger qpPosed to arbitration ; and to have the ques tion submitted to arbitration is clearly the desire of the House of Commons and of the entire British people. We can have no objection to having the entire question sub mitted to the decision of an umpire or of a mixed commis sion, but the reverse. It does appear to us, however, that our friends on the other side either fail to see or wilfully close their eyes to the real difficulty in the ease. They make a great deal too much of the mere money part of the question. It is act money we want so much as redress for our wounded honour. Ten million dollars is the most we could expect to be adjudged by any arbiter or by any commission. But what „is ten million dollars to us I We do not re lOre the money. But, even if, we did, is it to be magined that the wrong done us could be lighted by any nob sum ? It is not conceivable. No. Let them keep the money and welcome if we can have no other redress. It is well for them, however, to be reminded that our )pportunity may come. Nay, it is not to be doubted that it will come. We can well afford to wait. The condition of Great Britain at the present moment does not forbid the belief that our opportunity is near at hand. The three icing4oma are rapidly tending towards Republicanism. But the monarchy and the aristocracy will not fall without a tremendous struggle. The empire will be convulsed to its 'erg centre. The need of troops at home will leave the dependencies and the colonies defenceless and weak. Then !rill be our opportunity, and then it will be our privilege to pay back in kind." FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH LONDON RAIL WAY.—On Saturday an inquest was hold at St. Pancras on the body of William Alfred Morgan, a number-taker in the service of the Great Northern Railway, who was killed on the North London Railway by a train which was being shunted. After considerable inquiry by the jury, a ver dict was returned " That the deceased lost his life from injuries received through the non-observance of the regu lations of the North London Company." SUICIDE THROUGH POVERTY.—On Saturday an inquest was hold in Charles-street, Hackney-rOad, on the body of Charles Chaplee, aged 28 years. Tho deceased, a shoemaker, had been out of work some mouths, and in a state of great misery. On Wednesday he was found hang ing by a rope to tho bed post quito dead. The jury re turned a verdict of suicide while of unsound mind. A subscription, headed by Mr. C. J. Smith, mayor of the borough of RAgate, and Messrs. J. Farquhar and Wilson Saunders, borough magistrates, has been made on behalf of Mr. Inspcetor Miller, who was dis missad from the Surrey constabulary for, as alleged, simply taking in the Polio,: Service Advertiser. In addi tion to this the police and constabulary forces throughout the kingdom aro almost unanimously making subscriptions in his aid. An influential meeting was held in Liverpool last week of the principal Nonconformists connected with or interested in the Principtlity of Wales, at which it was re solved, in the event of Mr. Gladstone's attack on the Esta blished Church in Ireland proving successful, to proceed without loss of time to organise a regular system of agita tion with the object of abolishing the Church Establish ment in Wales.—lmperial Review.

Streeter, of i 37, Conduit-street, Bond-street, whose machine-made j4wellery, when first introduced by him, was favourably noticed by the Times, and has since become widely appreciated for its artistic finish and cheap ness ; that journal also observing: " Mr. Edwin W. Streeter has for some time marked upon his goods the par ticular quality of the gold, and purchasers may always protect themselves by requiring its quality to be stated in the invoices " As a skilled worker in the precious metals, Mr. Streeter has hardly a superior, his productions having obtained first class prizes. Persons about buying golden trinkets for themselves or friends, to whom they desire to offer a suit able yet inexpensive present, should read his instructive manual, entitled "Hints to Purchasers of Jewellery," and then visit his establishment, where is shown. a multi plicity of floral and geometric forms enfolding the purest gems. CRIMINAL COUaT.—(This Day.) TILE FENIAN TRIALS. (Before the Recorder.) Mr. J. U. Lewis trade an application to the Court on behalf of the prisoner Casey, who is in ehltld with Burke and Shaw on the charge of trea .s"-felohzr, removed to this Court from the War wickshire Ass i s , lz , 's to fix a day for the trial, and also that it might not tca ze , place until after the trial or minder arising out of the Clerkenwell ex plosion. Mr. Montague Williams also ni,in an applica ion on behalf of Anne Justice, who is included in he charge of murder above referred, that the trial light not take place until a late day of the session. lie said that the prisoner had no friends or tneans of defence, and he had only just been in structed, and he wished for an opportunity to con aider the facts of the case and prepare for the de fence of the prisoner. The Recorder said that all he could state was, that it had been definitely arranged that neither of the cases referred to would come on this week. They would in all probability come on the Tuesday of next week, and according to the ordinary course the trial for murder would be taken first. Re had, however, no control over that matter, and tt would rest entirely with the Attorney-General which of the cases should be taken first. NAVAL AND MILITARY IN7ELLIGENCE VALETTA, March 25.—The telegraph steamer, Hawk, Capt. C. Halpin, returned here on the 21st inst., after an absence of upwards of two months, passed in futile attempts to restore communication by the Malta and Alexandria cable. Notwithstand ing unfavourable weather, the cable has been re paired in a dozewplaces, but as an unknown num ber of faults have yet to be made good, and fuel running short, there was no help but to suspend operations until a fresh supply of coal could be ob tained. Much of the cable appears to be completely worn through, and it is said that in one mile were discovered no less than five fractures. On the other hand, it is a consoling fact in submarine telegraphy that all, or nearly all, the defects have hitherto been found in shallow water—that is to say, within 20 or 25 fathoms. But at the same time it incontestably shows that no confidence can be placed in the pre sent cable, which having been laid on wrong prin ciples, when submarine telegraphy was still in its infancy, is constantly breaking. It is worse than useless to lose time in patching it up, and our only hope lies in the substitution without further delay of a deep-sea line. Her Majesty's screw sloop Racer, Commander L. Brine, which was all this time in company with the Hawk, returned here from Derna on the 22d inst., having been ordered to England .o be paid off. She is now awaiting instructions from the Admiralty, and it is most probable she will be sent again to assist in the cable repair, as a vessel is required, and no other ship is available or 'hat purpose. Her Majesty's screw frigates Endy mion, 21, Capt. C. Wake, and Arethusa, 35, under the temporary command of Commander E. S. Ideane, left port on Saturday, the 21st inst. The former vessel, having on board Rear-Admiral Kel lett, C. 8., Mr. Thornhill, Flag-Lieutenant, and Mr. rollemache, M.P., and Mrs. Tollemache, will pro ceed direct to Naples, and is expected back on the 4th of April. The Arethusa is expected back about :he same time, and will visit Naples before return- ing to Malta. Her Majesty's screw gunboat Wizard, 1, Lieut.-Commander P. J. Murray, returned into harbour on the 21st inst., after a few days' cruise, gun, and other practice. Her Majesty's screw iron clad sloop Enterprise, 4, Commander G. R. Bosan quet, is ready for sea, and is only awaiting the weather to moderate to sail for the Pirasus, to re place the Lord Warden, which left, the telegraph informs us, yesterday evening (the 24th inst.), and she may consequently be expected here about the 27th or 28th inst. Up to yesterday there had been eight cases of small-pox on board, which had been landed at Salamis. The disease is believed to have been brought to Greece by the Cretan refugees. Sub-Lieutenant Worth, of the Caledonia, has been appointed to the Enterprise, vice Littledale. Her Majesty's Ittlian screw troopship Serapis has just arrived from Portsmouth, on her way to Alex andria, with Indian reliefs. The Prussian frigate Hertha, 21, and corvette Medusa, 17, left Malta for Cadiz on the 19th inst. A court-martial was held on Tuesday, the 24th inst., on board her Ma jesty's ship Hibernia, Capt. Alan H. Gardner, o. _ _ her Majesty's ship Caledonia, president, Mr. J. L. Kirkness, R.N., deputy-judge-advocate, to try George Shreeves, gunner Royal Marine Artillery, of her Majesty's ship Lord Clyde, for being absent without leave, and attempting to throw a skin of spirits on board the Enterprise. He was sentenced to be mulcted of eight days' pay, imprisoned with hard labour for 12 months, and dismissed from her Majesty's service. His Prussian Majesty's corvettes Medusa and Hertha, from the Mediterranean and Cadiz, put nto Plymouth Sound yesterday morning, bound for Kiel. The screw steamship Prince Consort, 31, at De vonport, was put in commission on Thursday for the home station, by Commander W. Hornby, for Captain William Armytage. Her burthen is 4,045 tons. She is armour plated, and has engines of 1,000 horse power. Her complement will be 605 officers and men. TIIE CASE OF LORD IVILLOUGIIBY AND MADAME D'AL7EYRAC. In this celebrated case Mr. Vernon Harcourt, the arbitrator, has made the following award : " 1. Lord Willoughby d'Eresby shall pay to the Comtesse d'Alteyrac an annuity of £1,200 for the term [of her life, the annuity to date from the Ist of April, 1868, and to be payable by half-yearly payments ; and I hereby order Lord Willoughby d'Eresby to pay the said annuity accordingly ; and I further award that that annuity shall be legally secured by Lord Willoughby d'Eresby to the Comtesse d'Alteyrac for her life. I further award that, in order to secure the said annuity to the Comtess d'Alteyrac, Lord Willoughby d'Eresby shall, within two months from the date of this award, purchase from the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt a life annuity to the amount of £1,200 per annum for the life of the said Comtesse d'Alteyrac, and shall convey the same to trustees on her behalf named in a deed annexed to the award, and signed by me. And I hereby order Lord Willoughby d'Eresby within two months of the date of this award to purchase the said annuity, and to transfer the same to the said trustees ; and I order Lord Willoughby d'Eresby and the Comtesse d'Alteyrac within two months of the date of this award to execute the said deed. And I further award that if for any reason the said annuity shall not have been legally secured by Lord Willoughby d'Eresby before the last day of May in the year of our Lord 1868, then, in addition to the annuity made payable as afore said, a further sum of £lOO shall become due and payable by Lord Willoughby d'Eresby to the Corn tesse d'Alteyrac upon the said last day of May, 1868, and a further sum of £lOO on the last day of each successive month, until such annuity shall be legally secured, and I hereby order that Lord Wil loughby d'Eresby. shall pay such additional sums t the dates aforesaid. These monthly payments arc to be considered as additional to the payments due in respect of the annuity, and as a penalty for delay in the legal settlement of the same, but are not to prejudice the right of the Comtesse d'Alteyrac to enforce the securing of the annuity by other means. As soon as the annuity shall be legally settled by Lord Willoughby d'Eresby the said additional monthly payments of £l.OO to cease. 2.

The annual double racket match, which invari ably forms a very attractive feature in the pro gramme of the University contests, took place this afternoon at Prince's Club, Hans-place, Chelsea There was a very large attendance of company, and altegether much interest attached to the contest, as Oxford, having been successful in the boat race, and the double billiard match on Sa turday, it was confidently expected they would add the racket match to their list of victories for the year 1868. Mr. Warner and Mr. Stowe were selected champions for Cambridge, and to Mr. Clay and Mr. Kennaway the fortunes of Oxford were confided. On the four competitors entering the " court," attired in their light . and easy fitting costume, they were easily distinguish able as the " two blues" formed, as it were the facings of the respective dresses. The number of games to be played was fixed at seven, but the winners of the first four were to be considered the viztors. Oxford went in first, but the game fell to Cam bridge, the respective numbers being —Cambridge, 15 ; Oxford, 8. The second game ended with a similar result, the numbers standing at the close—Oxford, 10; Cambridge, 15. The third game Oxford only scored two to Cambridge's 15. The fourth game Oxford secured, beating their opponents by 4, the score at the close standing — Oxford, 15 ; Cambridge, 11. The fifth game was gained by Cambridge—the numbers being Oxford 7 ; Cambridge, 15 ; thus giving the victory to the light blue. The play of the Oxonians it will be seen from their scoring was by no means first-rate ; in fact, they appeared to have but little chance of winning from the commencement of the match, but notwithstanding the dark blue party found themselves opposed to two superior plapers, they carried on the contest with the greatest vigour until the five games were played. I3ettihg w•as from the first game entirely in favour of Cambridge.
