Mr. Mathews resumed his address on behalf of the defendant, and contended tl►at his client could not be convicted of fraul unless it was proved against him. He did not deny that Home was a: visionary, and that his own evidence could only be taken with qualification, but, bearing that in mind, he asked the court to consider what his conduct had been all through the matter. The question was not whether he had been high minded, indelicate, or improper—that was all foreign to the matter in dispute. The plaintiff had first sought the defendant out—she had loaded him with gifts loaded him with demonstrations of affection ; and if it was asked why he had borne all that the answer was ready. Home had not only children dependent upon him, but he had a father and sisters, and to a person in his position at that time, which was that of honourable poverty, it was hard to say that the acceptation of the proffered gifts was not a very extraordinary proceeding. The plaintiff continued her gifts, and to such an extent that she insisted on the defendant assum ing her name, and finally she adopted him as her son. It should not be said that the defendant had not made some sacrifices, because he had forfeited his liberty to a great extent by the attention bestowed upon the plaintiff, and he could not but think it was hard and unjust that the letter of 17th June should be turned against him. There had been nothing in the case that had thrown discredit upon the defen dant, and he asked the court to pause before it pro nounced him guilty of the fraud imputed to him. The learned gentleman was followed by M r. Lushington on the same side, but from the array of counsel engaged, it will be some days before the Vice-Chancellor will bo called upon to give his de cision in the matter. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE CASE OF MR. EYRE, LATE GOVERNOR OF JAMAICA. This morning, in this court, Sir R. Collier, on behalf of a body of individuals styling themselves the Jamaica Committee, and whose object it is to prose cute ex-Governor Eyre fur alleged excess of his official functions in Jamaica, and who are re presented by Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P., and Mr. Peter Taylor, applied for a rule nisi to show cause why a mandamus should not issue against Mr. Vaughan, the police magistrate, to show cause why he ob jected to the further hearing of the summons which he had previously granted against Mr. Eyre. It appeared that an application had been made to Mr. Vaughan, and from the arguments adduced he had granted a summons against Mr. Eyre, on the ground of misdemeanour, under the statute 11th and 12th Vict. On the occasion of its coming on fur hearing, although Mr. Eyre attended in obedience to it, Mr. Vaughan said he had some diffi culty iu going on with the case, rind that he consi dered that it was necessary that an order should be obtained from a court of Oyer and Terminer, ac cording to one of the clauses of the statute under which he acted. These were the 11th and 12th Will. 111., cap. 12, and 42d Geo. 111., cap. 85, and the 11th and 12th Vict. It was suggested that a difficulty arose, as he doubted whether the Court of Queen's Bench was a court of Oyer and Terminer. Sir Robert Collier now applied on these grounds for a rule nisi for a mandamus. The Lord Chief Justice said that if he wanted a rule nisi he could have one. Rule nisi granted accordingly. ONE OF THE CHRISTY ..IIINSTRELS AND "PICKLES." - At the IVestminster Police-court, this day, Mr. John Rawlinson, one of the Christy Minstrels, was charged with assaulting Frederick Pickles, a cab man. The latter also charged Mr. Duncan Scott, the proprietor of the Queen's Elul Tavern, Bromp ton, with assaulting hitn, and the defendants in their turn also charged Pickles. The cabman was first sworn, and said that he carried Mr. Rawlinson from the Haymarket at one this morning to the Queen's Elm, where he paid him ls. 6d. Complainant demanded more, when he refused to give it him, and striking him on the shoulder forced hint against his cab. Mr, Rawlinson then called to Mr. Duncan Scott, and he came down, attacked the driver, and dragged hi m into his house, whereby his clothes were torn, and he lost 7s. out of his pocket. Mr. Rawlinson said he paid the driver his fare, and afterwards, to satisfy him fully, gave him some postage stamps. He was still dissatisfied, and knocked him down twice, cutting his mouth severely inside. Mr. Scott said that he was abed, and hearing a disturbance, got up and saw Mr. Itawlinson being ill-used. He went down to his assistance, and was remonstrating with the cabman when the latter at tacked him, and, assisted by another cabman t. three or four of whom had congregated, blackened his eye, and cut his nose. He never struck the driver at all. Mr. Rawlinson also proved that he never in any way assaulted the cabman. Mr. Henry Vincent, actor, proved hearing Pickles declare " he would take it out of Mr. Raw. linson." He saw him knock Mr. Rawlinson down twice. The assembled cabmen recommended " punching." Witness saw them pull Mr. Scott from his house, and Pickles assault him. ➢lr. George Washington Moore, proprietor of the Christy Minstrels, proved being called at four o'clock this morning to the station, where he found Mr. Rawlinson, who complained of shameful treat ment. The cabman called a witness to support his state ment, and said that there was a gentleman who had given his address at the station. Mr. Elliott fined the cabman 405., and in de.- fault 20 days. His charge was dismissed. Some time after this decision, it was stated that the police had heard of a witness who had seen the whole occurrence. Mr. Elliott said that, unler these circumstances, he would adjourn the case to see if he would attend. M. Till ERS entered on his seventy-second year on the 15th instant. A SUITABLE ROYAL MARRIAGE is spoken of in fashionable cirles in ➢ladrid, namely, that of the eldest daughter of the clueeu of Spala and the second son of Don Juan de Bourbon. DEAN STANLEY, it is stated, has invited Father Ignatius, otherwise the Rev. J. Leycester Lyne, to preach 9uo of the spebial Sunday evening services in the nave of Westminster Abba 7.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. GENTLEMEN AND TILE POLICE.—Mr. Chas. Grif fiths, of 38, Worcester-street, St. George's-square, and Mr. Lenard, of 1, Oakley-square, all described as gentlemen, were charged before Mr. Knox with behaving in a disorderly manner in Waterloo place. From the evidence of MUMan, 230 C, and Crabb, 163 C, it appeared that at about half-past one that morning they were trying to diTerse a crowd in Regent-street causxl by two females fighting, when the prisoner came up and interfered with them, and hiistled them, and one of the prisoner? also tried to trip up one of the constables. In answer to Mr. Knox Rittman said the pri soners were cot drunk, but very troublesome. In their defence the prisoners said that. seeing a crowd they went up to ascertain the cause when they were pashed into the crowd, and might have been pushed against the police, but they would be sorry to interfere with them in the execu tion of their duty. Mr. Knox said persons of the prisoners appear ance ought to have lent the police a hand—the police at all times having a troublesome duty to perform--instead of going against them. As the prisoners had been locked up some time he would not impose a fine, but order them to enter into their recoguisauces to keep the peace. DESTROYING CLOTIIING IN A WORKHOUSE. — Three women, named Maria Taylor, Mary Ann Sturgeon, and Mary Ann Duggin, were charged with destroying their clothing while casual inmates of St. James's Workhouse. In answer to the chare the prisoners said their clothes were only rags and very dirty. ➢lr. Knox committed them for 21 days each. TIIAII,IE§. AN INCORRIGIBLE THlEF.—Margaret Wilson, an old and dissipated-looking woman, who owned to 50 years of age,- but appeared to be 80 at least, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with stealing a pair of boots, the property of Einos Parrott, of No. 6, Spectacle-alley, Whiteehapel. The prisoner deliberately unfastened the boots exposed for sale in front of Mr. Parrott's shop, and walked away with them. The prosecutor and his wife and daughter all saw the robbery committed. Mr. Parrott went in pursuit of the prisoner, and upon overtaking her asked her for the boots. She then threw them at him, an 1 she was given into custody. _ . The prisoner, who is very feeble from gin and dissipation, said she took the boots and was sorry for it. Mr. Benson—A most impudent robbery, and I am afraid it is not the first one you have corn mitte I. The Prisoner —I only had two months' imprison ment some time ago for a little thing. Mr. Benson—flow many more convictions are there against you ? Roche, the gaoler of the court, said that the pri soner had pas3ed through his hands a great many times. Mr. Benson said lie should on this occasion dis pose of the case summarily, but if the prisoner was brought be:ore him ag tin and a case was made out he should commit her for trial. He sentenced her to three months' iawrisOnment and hard labour. EXECUTION OF BISHOP, THE SYDENIIA3I iIIURDEREIe,-7(THES (By Electric Telegraph.) MAIDSTONE, Thursday, Noon. The unhappy man, Richard Bishop, who was tried and convicted at the late Central Criminal Court Sessions for the wilful murder of Alfred Cartwright, on the night of th e 2d i ns:an t , i n t h e Hamlet of Sydenhatn, in the County of Kent, has just expiated his crime upon the gal lows. The unhappy man, it will be remembered on the night in question was in a state of intoxication, and commenced making a disturb ance in the village, more especially at the door of the deceased's house. For that offence, and his un willingness to leave when desired, the murdered man gave him into the custody of the police, and whilst he was being taken to the station-house he drew a knife and fatally wounded Cartwright. The culprit was at once taken before.the magistrate and committed on the capital charge. At the inquest some surprise Was manifested by the coroner and jury at the spe e dy wa y the man was convicted, but as the gran d j ury vvele then s it t i n g there ap peared no other alternative but that the inqu,st should be proceeded with, to enable the witnesses to be examined by' the said grand jury. A true bill was found, and the wretched man had his trial, and was found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. Since his condemnation he has frequently acknow ledged the justice of his sentence, but maintained that he knew nothing of what he did, as he was then mad drunk. There were apparently several things in favour of the culprit why the fall sentence of the law should not be carried out ; and Mr. 11. Pook, the well-known solicitor of Lawrence Pount ney Hill, City, h as b een unrem i tt i ng i n his exer tions to obtain, if possible, a commutation of t h e capital sentence. I n answer to a com munication sent to the Home-office, in which he set forth the claims the criminal had for a mitigation of the sen tence he received the following : —'• Whitehall, April 28, 1868. am directed by Mr. H irdy to ac quaint you that having carefully considered the case of Richard Bish o p, on whose b e h a lf you a pplied to him, he regrets th at h e can see no sufficient ground to justify him in a d v i s i ng her Majesty's interference with the due co urse of the law. —l am , s i r , your obedient servant, A. F . 0 . L IDDELL . To 11. Pook, Esq." The unhappy culprit received the sad news with apparent resignation, and frequently spoke of the distress the family of the deceased had been plunged into by his drunkenness. At the appointed time the unfortunate criminal mounted the scaf fold, with his eyes turned downward, and in a second or two he was no more in this world. It is satisfactory to state that a subscription is being got up for the support of the family of the mur dered man. Rewards amounting in all to nearly £2,000 are offered for the apprehension of the murderer of Mr. Fetherstonehaugh, of Westmeath. The landed pro prietors of the county have contributed a large por tion of the sum. Three men arrested on suspicion arc now iu Mullirigar gaol, two of them being tenants on the estate, and one a servant-boy of a farmer. A new gunboat; the Lynx, has been launched from a building yard in Belfast, and the local papers Praise Mr. Cerry i , First Lord of the Admiralty, for having been the first to give Ireland a share in the construction of the naval architecture of the coun try. Sir James Emerson 'ferment was present at a dejcaner which , followed, and hoped the Lynx was the first of a. long series of ships for the Imperial navy to be built at Belfast. THE IthSH CHURCII. — DEPTFORD.—Last week a meeting of the Supporters of the Irish Established Church, admission by ticket imposing certain conditions, was held in the Lecture Hall, Deptford, the Rev. Mr. Money, of St John's, in the chair. The resolutions at that meeting were• keenly opposed and narrowly escaped defeat. Last night a "public meeting" was held in the same hall, admission absolutely free and unconditional. The hall was crowded half-au-hour before the chair was taken by Mr. J. E. Saunders, common counc illo r. Resolutions were submitted approving of the proposed disest a bli s h men t o f t h e Irish Church, and adopting a petition to the house of Commons in accordance with the resolutions. The speakers were Wm. Angerstein, Esq., late member for Greenwich; Mr. Marchant, Mr. :Spencer, Mr. Pike, Mr. Baxter Langley, and the Revs. Jobe Pulling, George Mar tin, and Alex. King. The resolutions were adopted unanimously with great enthusiasm, without any amend ment having been even proposed. During the progress of htheeldmienettiiniegopinni air, the another was addressed by M r . Ba x t e r Whichv Langley, and at which t he same resolutions were adopted very larg e mee ti ng was without a single di,:bentient. DOWN WEST.—In the recent Schools Inquiry a schedule of questions was sent to masters and mistresses of private schools, but it was not always possible to get the schedule filled up, even when verbal information was readily given and an ex4tninatiou of the school allowed. A schoolmaster in the west of England positively declined t.o comtnit himself to writing, because there was no know. jug what a long-headed chap like Mr. Gladstone might do if he got hold of the returns," SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. WEDNESDAY. For an off day, yesterday's racing presented soma very attractiva features, and a well filled card produced some excellent sport. At the Rooms in the morning there was some animated business over the One Thousand Guineas and the Chester Cup, more especially with regard to For mosa for the former event, odds of 3 to 4 being at last laid on her ; the only others really backed being Lady Coven try at 7 to 2, Franchise at 100 to 15, and Athena at 8 to 1. Green Sleeve's running in the Two Tnousand was evi dently looked u, on as having settled her pretensions for the Dutch Mile race, inasmuch as she receded to 100 to 7 offered, and Virtue was quite friendless at 20 to 1, although 2i to 1 would have been occasionally booked, about her. For the Chester Cup Paul Junes remained the hero of the hour, and nothing else would go down with backers, who took as little as 4 to 1 so readily about him that layers soon got tired of conceding the price. Lady Eliza beth and Rusicrucian still retained the firm po sitions of the previous evening, 3 to 1 being taken about the former, and 7to 1 about the latter. Blue Gown was occasionally invested on at 100 to 8 ; but Sir Joseph's third string, Green Sleeve, was altogether unmen tioned. The :movement in favour of the Tont Bowline colt was still pursued with considerable vigour, and from 100 to 8 Lord Glasgow's representative at last advanCed to 10 to 1, and Speculum was likewise in undiminished force at the quoted price. Although fine overhead, the strong wind that had proved so disagreeable on the Two Thousand day still militated against the comfort of the greatly reduced number of visitors on the Heath. The opening race of the day—the Four Year Old Sweepstakes, over the Rowley mile—was, although reduced to a match, interesting, as bearing directly on the Chester Cup. The two runners were Owaiu Glendwr and Viridis, the latter of whom, it will be recollected, was at once "spotted" when the weights appeared for the Cestrian event, as being so well in as to cause her to ba made, for a time, a Irjnttnent favourite. Her purchase, for the large sum of 2,000 guineas, at the Duke of Beaufort's sale, by Mr. Ben:- nett, the owner of Dalby, the most prominent favourite until the recent sudden advent of Paul Jones, caused her temperary retirement; and now her defeat by 0 wale would appte,r to have altogether settled her pretensions, as little as 100 to 6 being taken about Sir R. Bulkeley's horse after the race. The Prince Of. Wales's Stakes proved the certainty it looe:ecl for Taraban ; and the victory of Uncas for. the Three-year-old Sweepstakes was another real good thing fur the backers, his performanee•-being looked upon.as materially enhancing his Derby chance. A surprise was, however, in store for the talent in the defeat of St.-Ronan, by Suffolk, for the Sweepstakes over the Ditch mile. On the strength of Mr. Chaplin's cult's running in the Two Thousand, and also from the poor figure cut by Suffolk recently, odds of 6 to 4 were laid on St. Ronan; but he was beaten from end to end by the Baron's colt, thus proving that ho only landed the place bets of his owner and party fur the Guineas on sufferance. The great e vent of the day was the match between Julius and The Hermit, which caused an immense amount of excitement, and produced some heavy wagering. From the " near thing" that The Hermit undo of it with Julies in the Cratiren week, when the Derby winner was con ceding 71bs to his antagonist, the friends of the former were extremely sanguine, as Julius had, now llb the worst of the weight. It was a very nice point as to which was favourite, but Julius left off slightly the more fancied of the two,' and he again won, this time very easily, The Hermit most unmistakeably cutting it at last. Beyond calling attention to the hollow manner in which Blue Gown cut down Lennie in the lad race of the day, which will go far to increase Sir Joseph Ilawley's popularity fur the Derby, the remainder of the racing sufficiently tells its own tale. - - ----- A Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each, for four year olds; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 51b ; winners of the Derby, Oaks, or Doncaster St. Leger, Port, or Claret Stakes fib, of any two of those stakes 101 b extra ; maidens which have never received 100 sous for running second allowed 51b.; The last three miles of B.C. 5 subs.

Michael Skaife,. of the Liverpool detective police, on the Gth of September, 1865, had received information which lei him to go to a Mrs. Black more's, Salisbury-street: In the house he found veral bottles containing a hini I, sine of whiet falling upon his clotnes caused th.nn at once to burst into a flame. Inspector Horne, who had accompanied the hat witness, corroborated his evidence. The bottles were found placed in tubs of water. When poured on cotton the liquid itnua,, , diately set it on fire. When one of the b)ttles waa tarowa ag Liast a wall it caused a flame Si great that a hose hal to ba em ployed to extinguish it. _ - To Mr. Ernest Jones—Corydon used to lodgs at Austin Gib'Jon's hynse. IEI sosa O'Brien, who was executed at . thaehester, at the sane place. Dr. Davis had examined the bottles spoken of by the last two witnesses, and found they contained what was called Greek fire. A member of the Irish constabulary, named Morrisey, remembered the seizure of two packages containing rifles from a vessel at Cork, and his evidence was borne out by the resident magistrate who had caused the boxes to ba broken open. He marked one of the Enfield rifles, which was now produced and identified by Mr. Kynoch as being one that had passed through his hands, and similar to those sold to Burke. The packages were addressed to T. Daly and Co. On M.r.Daly being called, he stated he was a draper and wholesale a furniture dealer. The goo Is in ques tion were not ordered by him, nor had he given authority to any one to order them. The shipment of the two packages, addressed to J. Daly and Co., in the , Halcy4.,n, was proved by a clerk at the Nelson Dock, LiVerpool. • A member of the firm of Cooke and Townsend, of Liverpool, in whose name the packages were shipped, denied all knowledge of them. Evidence was 'then given by various lodging house keepers for the purpose of further identify ing Burke, and proving the terms of intimacy upon which he had lived with men now known to have been members of the Fenian Brotherhood.
