COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde). CONRADI V. CONRADI AND WAY, &C. This was a judgment on the part of the Judge Ordinary, upon a novel point which has been lately raised as to whether a petitioner, who has proved his wife's adultery, has then been found guilty of adultery himself, and subsequently again obtains a verdict against his wife for her adultery with fresh co-respondents ; whether, under these conditions, he can himself be found guilty upon the decree that had formerly been made as to his own adultery. The Judge Ordinary said that the point raised was an important one. It was, in the first instance, shown that the petitioner had been found guilty of adultery at the suggestion of one of the co-respondents. lie then brought a fresh suit, and again proved his wife's adultery, inasmuch as she was living a life of prostitution. The Queen's Proctor then proposed to bring before the Court the decree in the other case, in order to prove the petitioner's adultery, and to disqualify him from obtaining a divorce. He (the learned judge) con sidered that ho could do so, but, taking into consideration that the accusation of adultery came from the Queen's Proctor, who was under the direc tion, first of the Attorney-General, and then of the Court, it was competent for the Court to deal in an equitable manner with the point. It would be different if the charge were brought forward again by the co-respondent or respondent, but taking into consideration the fact that the desertion and adul tery of the respondent had been proved, he should give the petitioner the relief he sought, and grant a decree nisi. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day• OLD COURT. THE MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY TWO BOYS. Mr. Poland, on the part of the prosecution, asked the learned Recorder that the trial of the two boys at present in custody for murderously assaulting Mrs. Munn might be post poned until next session, on the ground that the prosecutrix was at present in such a weak state of health that any over-excitement might be attended witb very serious results. Mr. W. Sleigh, who had been retained to de end, had no objection to such a proposal. The Recorder directed the trial to stand post poned until next session. The next case taken before the learned judge was a post-office robbery by a letter-carrier, which did not possess the slightest general interest. /THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. vernment, which was not the case with the present one, was labouring under the carrying of a vote of want of confi lence. He thought had ho taken them only for nine months the greatest difficulty would be occasioned to the public service. It was only just that timo should be givoc for those parties to register themselves under the new Reform Bill, and it was the groat desire of her Majesty's Government to get the supplemen tary measures to the Reform Bill so forward as to enable all parties to take a lvantage of the 20th of July. He thought that, taking the most sanguine view of matters, and supposing all the supplementary measures to pass, it would bo almost impossible for the now Parliament to meet except for a very few days before Christmas next—(hear, hear)—and that it would be soma days before that Parlia ment could go into a committee of supply. He thought it would bo fine steering could they surmount the debate on the address, and then go into committee. Under such cir cumstances it had boon thought advisable to take the votes of supply for the entire year—(hear, hear) —and not for nine mouths. (Hear, hear.) It was a burning desire with the Government to get the Parliament dissolved (hear, hear)—in order that the opinion of the country might be taken on a very important subject, in order that they might be relieved from a state of things that had been rendered almost intolerable. (Hear, hear.) MORNING SITTING. In reply to Mr. HANICEY, Mr. DISRAELI said the morning sitting to-morrow was one apart from the arrangement ho had put forth at the commencement of the session. He would give the house an opportunity of expressing its opinion on that point before any alteration was finally made. THE IRISLI PRISONERS. Sir P. lIEYGATE asked the Chief Secretary for Ire land whether there was any truth in the statements, copied from the Weekly News newspaper by the Irish cor respondent of the Times of the Ist of June, to the effect that the Crown solicitor, Mr. S. L. Ander son, offered John P. Murray £lOO sterling, with a Government situation in Ireland or the colonies, provided that he would give such information as would convict of Nagle and the other prisoners of the so-called Jackmel expedition? The Earl of MAYO said the assertion was totally and entirely false. (Hear, hear.) THE ASSASSINATION OF THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH. In reply to Colonel VERNER, Mr. DISRAELI said he had not seen the paper to which he referred, but he had no reason for believing that the assassin of the Duke of Edinburgh was insane. THE SCOTCH REFORM BILL. The House then went into committee on this bill. On the motion that clause 6 stand part of the bill, Mr. GRAHAM said it was a great injustice to Scotland that the clause should be persisted in, but as opposition was useless, he and his friends must content themselves with entering their strongest protest against the clause, looking to the new Parliament for a remedy. The clause was then ordered to stand part of the bill. The LORD-ADVOCATE then brought forward the following clause to give the lodger franchise, in accord ance with the promise given to the hon. member for Kil marnock:—Every man shall, in and after the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, be entitled to be registered as a voter, and, when registered, to vote for a member or members to serve in Parliament for a burgh, who is qualified as follows (that is to say): is of full age and not subject to any legal incapacity ; and, as a lodger, has occupied in the same burgh separately, and as sole tenant for the 12 months prec_ding thelast day of July in any year the same lodgings, such lodgings being part of ono and the same dwelling-house, and of a clear yearly vale°, if let unfurnished, of ten pounds or upwards ; and has re sided in such lodgings during the twelve mouths imme diately preceding the last day of July, and has claimed to be registered as a voter at the next ensuing registration of voters. Col. SYKES wished to know whether it was to be un derstood that any parson paying ten pounds rent and not paying poor rates would not have a vote ? The LORD ADVOCATE signified in the affirmative. Mr. CR..kWFORD said the clausa would actually dis franchise a great many persons who now had the fran- chise. The LORD ADVOCATE remarked that the franchise in the bill under consideration was not a substitute for, but an addition to, the franchise now in existence. Mr. D. IPL..4REN said the clause was a disenfran chising clause, and so he strongly opposed it. The LORD ADVOCATE replied that those who at present possessed the franchise would not bo deprived of it by the present clause. Mr. MONCREIFF had great doubt, nowithstanding the intention of the Lord-Advocate, whether the clause would not lead to much difficulty. Mr. BOUVERIE suggested that the best way to get out of the difficulty was to negative the clause, and then on the bringing up the report a declaratory clause could be added, stating that all lodgers paying £lO per annum shoul I be entitled to vote. An hon. member suggested that there was no need to strike the clause out, as it could easily be altered to em brace the latter part of the suggestion of the hon. mem ber for Kilmarnoa. This was done, and the clause was ordered to stand part of the bill. A clause to make provision for claims by persons im properly and erroneous exempted from the payment of poor rates was then considered and agreed to. On schedule A, which enh.rges the boundaries of the city of Glasgow, so as to include the suburbs of Partick and Govan, there was a lively debate, and ultimately the opposition, led by Sir E. Colebrook°, succeeded in strik ing the schedule out of the bill by a majority of five (91 to 8G). The other schedules were agreed to without opposition, and the bill was ordered to be reported on Thursday. The house next took up the Boundary Bill in com mittee, and, on the question that the preamble be post- poned, Mr. GORST raised a general discussion by reviewing the position in which the house is placed by the discor dant reports of the commission and the committee. Re criticised stringently the conclusions at which the com mittee has arrived, maintaining that neither by its superior information, nor by its impartial composition, was it a competent tribunal to review the judgment of the Com missioners, and pointing that the committee had been governed by no kind of intelligible principle, except this —that municipal and Parliamentary boundaries ought to be conterminous. The inference he drew from this was that the houso should discuss patiently and form its own opinion on every one of the cases about which the com mittee and the Commission differed. Mr. WALPOLE remarked that the difficulty arose entirely from the vague and insufficient instructions given to the Commission, which had made it impossible for them to lay down a general principle which would apply to all cases. Assuming that the controversy practically would be confined to the 15 large boroughs in which the Committee had differed entirely from the Commission, he went through the list seriatim, explaining the reasons on which the committee bad acted, and justifying their con clusions. With regard to the immediate practical. ques tion, Mr. Walpole said that though the Committee sub mitted their report entirely to the decision of the house much time would be lost if it was to be set aside, and he certainly should not have consented to give so many days to the committee if its labours were to be fruitless. By way of general observation he expressed his decided pre ference for making municipal and Parliamentary bounda ries conterminous, and warned the house of the danger of ncreasing those great urban constituencies by additions which made them three or four times as large as the counties in which they stood. Mr. STOPFORD argued strenuously for throwing over the committee in favour of the Commission's Report. Mr. BRIGHT was entirely satisfied with the proceed ings of the committee and with the rules on which they they had acted, and urged the house to accept its report which was perfectly satisfactory to all the people con cerned. Tho house, ho maintained, by its original appoint ment of a Commission, had declared itself unfit to go into the details of the matter, and the Government, when the committee was formed, announced that its report was to be final. This last statement, however, was disputed by Mr. HARDY. Mr. NEWDEGATE and Mr. PERCY WYNDHAM joined in urging the house not to give up its power of review, and Mr. DISRAELI denied that the Government had pledged itself to be bound by the report of the committee. His recommendation now was that the house should go on with the bill without further loss of time, and, trusting to the practical good sense which had so often been shown, he anticipated that all the difficulties of the schedules, which were not numerous, would soon be satisfactorily disposed of. Mr. GL ADS T 0 NE reprobated strongly this course. To attach so little weight to the recommendations of their own committee was most unparlismentary, and involved the practical loss of three weeks. Mr. PATJLL animadverted severely on the party mo tives of the appointment of this committee, and Sir F. C. CROSSLEY advised the house to take the ad vice of the Premier, and go on with the bill. Mr. OSBORNE held that the house had arrived now at a supreme point of stultification. The only escape from the situation was to renew the amendment of Mr. llibbert to leave out clause 4, and for this purpose he moved that. the Chair an report progress. Mr. WHITBREAD defended himself against some im putations of Mr. Gorst on his perfect impartiality, and denied emphatically that the committee had listened to party considerations or arguments. Mr. DISRAELI, in consenting to report progress, re peated that the course he had suggested was the most prac tical and convenient —the only mode, iu fact, of getting through the bill. The further progress of the bill was then adjourned until Thursday. Tho Regulation of Railways Bill, which has come down from the Lords, was read a second time, as was also the Turnpike Trusts Continuance Bill. Some other bills were forwarded a stage, and the house adjourned at a quarter to 1 (At . NOTICE.

The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, Halifax Corpo ration Waterworks, London and South Western Railway, Downpatrick, Dundrum, and Newcastle Railway; Gas Light and Coke Company Bills were read a second time. Humber Conservancy BAI, with amendments, was read a third time and passed. _ ARMY CHAPLAINS' BILL. Lord LONGFORD moved the second reading of this bill. It had been found necessary to appoint army chap lains in certain districts, and the parochial clergy objected to those chaplains that, though they were the officers of the Crown, they were in reality intruders. By a late decision in favour of the parochial clergy this had been found to be so, and the present bill proposed to make these military chaplains extra parochial, and thus with the consent of the bi-hop of the diocese do away with the objection. The most reverend primate had con sented to the bill, and it was to meet these exigencies that the bill was framed. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER said that in absence of the most rev. primate he would suggest that it would be more desirable that the question should be referred to a Select Committee. _ ----- The Earl DE GREY and RIPON said that the army chaplains were officers of the Crown, and therefore he did not think that they ought to be under the control of the bishop of the diocese. The Bishop of LONDON suggested that it would be advisable to have a committee of the whole house on the bill. Lord LONGFORD said, that the bill had already been fully considered, and he thought that it would be advisable that it should be read a second time. The bill was then road a second time. The lordships then adjourneC. HOUSE OF COMMONS—This DAY. The SrEAXER took the Chair at 12 o'clock. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the second reading of this bill, winch was to enable the Go vernment to acquire the electric telegraphs, and working them in connection with that of the Post-office. It would take between three and four millions of money to pur chase existing rights, and if the principle of the bill was affirmed he should bring in a money bill to provide for the purchase money. lie proposed to make use of the money deposited in the Post-office savings banks as far as was consistent, and also to raise money on terminable annuities at 29 years, aa I also soma of the money would be raised on bills and bonds, in order that the Post-offize savings bellies might not be in the least inconvenienced. The surplus profit of the arrangement would amount to £210,000 per annum, and that taken at 31 per cent. would ba quite sufficient to pay off the whole cost in 20 years. lie thought the greatest ;•üblic aclvanta ;a would result from the arrangement, and therefore he hoped the house would agree to the second reading of the bill. daythe six most dangerous descrip tion, Mr. LEEMAN mo ved, as an amendment, that the bill b months. He contended h h e hoped the hous e wou ld no t for a momen t couuteuance. It had bee n said that the public tt ieoatthe read a and secondone proposal waswhich time o thate of and the press would benefit by the bill, but he con tended it would result in no such thing. The public at present and, as for the press, it alreadyreceived sup posing they were to b ec )me possessed of the te le g ra p hs could give them. Th e p etitions tha t had been go t u p in were s, well great served privilegesved ; as the post-office, favour of the bill h ad all boon insti g ated b y the p ost-office, and did not at all show the real feelin g of the public press on the m atter. As far a s the gene ral p ublic wa s concerned he did not think tha t they would much r epprociate an arrangement by which every telegram they might receive would be placed in the hands of the Go vernment. They must all recollect the outburst of indignation when Sir James Graham opened the letters of Mazzini, and now at it was proposed to do the same thing on a large scale he hoped the house would step in an I prevent such a thing being done. Ile contended that the objects of the bill were en tirely opposed to the instincts of the national character of the pe ople of England, who, he believed, he was correct in s aying did notappreciate the mode of working the telegraphs adopted on the Continent. Abroad it was impossible to send a telegraph without its first having been submitted to the Government authorities, whilst in Paris no less than four copies of every telegram were made and for warded to each of the bureaux. The proposal, he felt justified in saying, was most repugnant to the feelings of the general public, who were not yet quite agreeable that everything that was either done or contemplated should be conned over and considered by any Govern ment. The telegraph companies had acted most liberally to the public, the public were satisfied, and therefore he hoped the house would reject the bill. It might bo thought that he had an interest in the matter, but ha begged to as sure the house that he was in no way connected with a ny of the great telegraph companies, but that he had taken up the matter purely on public grounds, being per suaded that the bill was one opposed to the feelings and interests of the people generally—(hear, hear) —as he did not believe that the sole object of the Government was to reduce the present charge to an uniform telegraphic rate of one shilling. After a reconsideration of the whole of the circumstances connected with the bill, instead of moving the rejection of the measure, he would, with the permission of the house, substitute for his motio n the pro posal that the bill be referred to a select committee. Sir S. NOR'I'HCOTE said the speech of the hon. mem ber for York was entitled to the most serious attention of the Government, but it appeared to him that his argu ments were all in favour of the bill, though he took some objection to the manner in which the subject bad been treated. To say that the measure was hastily brought forward was not correct, and doubtless, it was the desire to defeat the bill that could be accomplished, but it appeared to him the most straightforward course would be to take the opinion of the house on the second reading of the bill. It was said that the small traders would be sacrificed for large capitalists, that he did not believe, the more so, as precisely the same arguments had been used when it was at first proposed to introduce the penny postage system. Mr. CRAWFORD said • he was placed in a position of some difficulty, because it was said the mea sure was brought forward to benefit the trading community. He was interested in two ways in the matter, and therefore, though he could not vote for the rejection of the bill, he would readily support a motion, the object of which was to have a thorough investiga tion of the whole subject. He would like to know whether the Government were to have a complete mono poly in the matter, and if they were going to undertake to report for the newspapers. Ho did not think, had such an arrangement been in operation, the speeches of the r i g h t hon. member for South Lancashire would be reported at such length as those of the right hon. the leader of the house. (Hear, hear.) Mr. LIDDELL was in favour of the subject being thoroughly considered b a select committee. Mr. CLADS TONE said there were various matters that might be urged with great effect in favour of the bill, and amongst them the fact that the whole of the telegraphs were to be managed by one department, which would be a great saving of expense, but there were other circumstances that called for their most careful consideration before they gave their assent to a proposal, such as that now be fore the house. Before any positive opinion was expressed on the measure, it seemed to Lam to be absolutely necessary - that there should be more in vestigation. of thesubject than there had been. There were various other matters that created much difficulty in his mind; and one, an old Woman ' s super stition it might be, was, whether it was perfectly clear that all political iiatellig e nce, especially on the eve of a genera l election, could with safety be placed in the hands of Government. Ile was not so certain upon that point, and therefore he wanted more light and knowledge. It might be said that manyof the fears that had been expressed were groundless, but there was a matter that he confessed he looked upon with some degree of anxiety, and that was the provisions that were to be t a k en w i t h regar d t o pri ority of political intelligence, that matter might on some occasions bo of the greatest political importance—(hear, hear) —and at all events more information was required on that as well as on other points, he should vote for the bill being referred to a select committee. Mr. AYRTON was addressing the house against the bill when the sitting of the house was suspended. The house resumed at six o'clock. EX-GOVERNOR E YRE. Mr. LAMONT asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether her lgaiesty's Governme n t now cons id ere d th a t the criminal prosecution against /slr. Eyre was con cluded, and whether they were prepared to defray the legal expenses idr. Eyre had incurred in defending him self. Mr. DISRAELI could not give an opinion to the first part of the question, but after the indictment was thrown out the Secretary of State had written to Ex-Governor Eyre, asking him the amount of the expenses he had been put to. Mr. LAMONT asked whether M r. E yre wou ld b e pro tected against further prosecutions of the Jamaica Committee. Mr. DISRAELI said he could give no answer to a hypothetical question. Mr. LAMONT said he should not bring forward his motion on the subject that evening-, but postpone it until Friday next. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING. Mr. CHILDERS asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer for how many months of the prosont financial year it was intended to take the remaining votes in supply, including those to be reported this day ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was intended to take the supplies for the whole of the year. (Hear, hear.) That course had been taken when a go- /1 J F POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREE r. A CHANGE IN TILE MODE OF BRINGING AC CUSED PERSONS TO THE COURT.—The unseemly exhibition of strings of persons charged with offences being walked through the streets from the different stations to this court, often accompanied by crowds of turbulent followers, has now been put an end to, and this morning for the first time, by order of the Commissioners of Police, the police van was employed for the purpose. ROBBERY AT THE ALHAMBRA. —Arthur Gray, a young man, described as a clerk, was charged be fore Mr. Knox with picking the pocket of a young woman named Sarah Riley, a servant living in Great Portland-street, of a purse containing some silver. _ _ _ The prosecutrix was at the Alhambra Palace las night with some children, when the prisoner and another man picked her pocket of a purse. Henry Parsons, employed at the Alhambra, said that hearing a cry of " Stop thief 1" he seized the prisoner. David Pilmer, 54 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody, and said that while the prisoner sent one of the children across to look through, his com panion committed the robbery. Gordon, 33 C, said that he saw the man who was with the prisoner the previous night in court. Mr. Knox ordered him to be brought forward, but as the prosecutrix was unable to identify him as the one who was with the prisoner no charge was preferred against him. Gordon said he believed the prisoner had been previously convicted. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner. A VOCALIST IN TROUBLE.—Richard llairland, a boy, describing himself as a vocalist, was charged with picking a pocket in the Haym trket. Gordon, 33 C, having proved the case, The boy said he saw two ladies fighting, and a gentleman drop his handkerchief, and he picked it up. Gordon said the boy tried several pockets. Mr. Knox remanded the boy. STABBING A WlFE.—Dennis Sullivan, a labour ing man, charged with stabbing his wife, Honora Sullivan, at No. 33, Dudley - street, was again brought before Mr. Knox. It may be remembered that the prisoner went up to his wife, from whom he had been separated for three years, as she was wishing some friends who had been to see her good bye, and stabbed her in the face. Mr. Theophilus Bryant, house surgeon at the Charing-cross Hospital, said that when the injured woman was attended to at the hospital she had two wounds, one in the cheek and the other in the nostrils, and from the latter she had lost a great deal of blood. The wounds were inflicted with some sharp instrument, and might have been in flicted with the piece of steel produced (found in the prisoner's pocket). Mr. Motum, secretary to the Society for the Pro tection of Women and Children, No. 20, Hay market, attended to watch the case. The prisoner was committed for trial. THAMES. THE MARQUIS AND THE DESTITUTE GIRL. — Angelina Pike, a poor and pale-faced destitute girl, was brought before Mr. Benson, at the in stance of the Marquis of Townshend, who found her seated on a door-step in the Commercial -road, Stepney. She was destitute, had no home, no means of procuring food, and both parents were dead. The noble Marquis wished her to be pro vided for, not punished, and said there were many poor wanderers like her to be found in all parts of the metropolis, and be did wish that humane indi viduals would look of ter them, bring them before the magistrates for their cases to be inquired into, and comps boards of guardians, relieving officers and others, to do their duty towards those destitute creatures. He believed from inquiries he had made that the statement of the girl was a true one. The girl said that since the death of her parents she had been servant to a dressmaker, and followed other occupations. She had also picked up a few halfpence by singing in public-houses. She had endured great privations. Air. Benson said it was very creditable to the noble marquis to interfere for the homeless and poverty-stricken wanderers in this vast metropolis. He should remand the prisoner to the Stepney Workhouse for a week. With respect to the poor lad who was turned out of Ratcliff Workhouse with all manner of absurd inscriptions stencilled on a canvas suit, and whom the Marquis of Townshend brought to this court a fortnight ago, it turns out that he is of weak intel lect, and that, notwithstanding, the poor creature was subject to the degradation of being turned upon the streets and exposed to the ridicule of the unthinking of the roughs and blackguards of the town. The labour-master of the Ratcliff Work house, who turned thedestitute casual into the street has received a reprimand from the board of guardians of the Stepney Union, and he was let off with this slight punishment owing to his general good cha racter, and his humanity to the poor. The poor lunatic has since wandered from the dwelling pro vided for him by the Marquis of Townshend, and it is feared that he has been robbed of the clothes and linen purchased for him. The Poor Law Com missioners have been written to on the subject, but they .have not replied to the communication ad dressed to them by the Marquis of Townshend, who has it in contemplation to adopt other measures re specting the novel punishment inflicted on an im becile casual for the crime of being destitute.

At a meeting of Bri►tish shipmasters held at Cron stadt, her Majesty's Ambassador was requested to present the following address to the Minister of Finance :—" To his Excellency M. Reutern, Minis ter of Finance, &c.—Your Excellency,—We, the undersigned British shipmasters, trading to the port of Crousta,dt, desire to express most respectfully our grateful acknowledgments fur the great boon which your Excellency has conferred on the com merce and shipping of this port by the two recent improvements in the Customs regulations of St. Petersburg and Cronsta It. We are deeply sensible of the important alterations in the Customs laws relating to the production of bills of lading by mas ters of vessels, which we consider is one of the most beneficial changes that have been made in the com mercial legislation of Russia, and we earnestly trust that your Excellency will soon think proper to ex tend its benefits to the other ports of the Empire. The fines and penalties attached to the minutest imperfections in bills of lading and entries have from our experience been greatly prejudicial to the foreign trade of Russia. The almost unavoidable liability to fines and detention for mere clerical errors has rendered the Russian trade one of the most precarious and unsatisfactory to the shipowner, and we therefore feel confident that the removal of these fines and penalties will act as beneficially on the interests of Russia as on those of our employers. We are also desirous to thank your Excellency for the advantages accorded to us by the regulations under which we are permitted, as in other countries, to obtain the clearance of our vessels for sea without the compulsory employment of agents, whose charges, arbitrarily fixed, have weighed heavily upon our ships, and to a great extent also on the produce they carried. As, under your Excellency's nstructions, the Customs will in future allow our vessels to depart on the satisfaction of all Govern ment dues and charges, we shall be able, as in other ports, to make such voluntary agreements for the transaction of our business while in harbour as will greatly reduce our expenditure. We beg to assure your Excellency that the simplification of the Cus toms laws will not fail to insure a more effectual observance of them, and thus conduce to a greater security of the revenue.—We have the honour to remain, with most sincere assurances of gratitude and respect, your Excellency's most obedient hum ble servants (signed by 81 British shipmasters.— Cronstadt, May 20 (June 1), 1868."
