Two witnesses deposed to having visited her there, and found her with an infant in her arms. The co-respondent was apprehended for having robbed the petitioner, in conjunction with his wife. The chambermaid at Holt's Temperance Hotel, Newport street, Bolton, identified the respondent as having stayed with the co-respondent as his wife at that hotel for two nights. Mr. Haworth, a solicitor at Manchester, stated that he had seen the respondent on the Ist of February with a child, and after served the co-respondent at the New Bailey Prison, Manchester. Decree nisi. MOOSE V. MOOSE AND BUSIIMAN.—This was a suit in stituted by the petitioner to obtain a divorce on the ground of the wife's adultery with the co-respondent. The re spondent appeared, but tho co-respondent did not. The parties were married at St. Luke's, Chelsea, in August 1861, and went to reside at Brompton. They 'lived very happily there till October 1866. On the 13th of that month Mr. Moose had occasion to go on business to Manchester, and he proposed that his wife should accompany him to the Euston-square station. She did so, and just as the train was starting, petitioner noticed a man.who seemed to be regarding his wife in a peculiar manner. On Mr. Moose's return, she proposed to visit her cousin, near Sudbury, in Suffolk. As this visit had been long proposed, it was not objected to, and her hus band accompanied her, with their little girl, to the station in Shoreditch,and there he saw the same man standing about a• - id when the train was about to start he attempted to get into the same carriage as the one his wife occupied, but she shook he; head, an d he got into another. Mr. Moose went at once to Scotland-yard and obtained the services of Mr. Wycher. The son of the latter went down to Sud bury, and ultimately he found that the parties had slept together at the Red Lion Hotel, in Colchester, and there they were discovered by the petitioner and his father and her father. She was then taken home, and her only excuse was that it was the first time sh e had sinned ; and the man said, This is a pretty job ; just like my luck! Decree nisi, with costs.

LORD AIAYOR'S COURT. A PROMOTER OF PUBLIC COMFANIES.—Stan!ey v. Stevens was an action tried in the Lord Mayor's Court, before the Recorder. It was an action to recover 1..'2G for money lent. The defendant pleaded a set-off for rent. The loan of the money was admitted, and plaintiff denied that he had agreed to pay any rent. In cross-examination the plaintiff said' that he had promoted a number of public companies ; but he stated that only one of them had come to grief—the Algerian Railway Company, which failed about six years ago. Although he had had a great deal to do with the Merchants' Company, he did not promote it. He persuaded many of his friends, and among others the defendant, to take shares in it. He had promoted the Cheshire Amalgamated Salt Company, but he stated it to be in a prosperous condition. He did not, he said, agree to pay rent to the defend ant . After defendant had declared that he did not grant the free use of his offices, a document was put in which his lordship said ended the case, and the jury found for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —This Day. MANSION HOUSE• WILFUL DAMAGE TO THE LONDON CLERKS' CLUB.— Angus McKenzie, described as a hawker, living in Flower and Dean-street, Spitalfields, was charged at the Mansion House, before the Lord Mayor, with breaking four windows of the London Clerks' Club, 132, Leadenhall•street.—George William Smart, the secretary of the club, said he gave the prisoner h..° custody last night about seven o'clock. At the station he made some excuses for what he had done, saying that he was drunk, that he was coming into £130,000, and that the property was his. There were four windows broken, two large ones and two small ones, each consisting of a single square of plate glass, and the damage done amounted to between £3O and £4o.—The Lord Mayor committed him for trial. BOW-STREET. A SHAM DETECTIVE AT CHARING-CROSS. - Thows Henry Pugh, a tall, elderly man, was charged at Bow-street with loitering at the Charing -cross station for some sup posed unlawful purpose. For some months the prisoner had been in the habit of loitering a b o ut the Cannon - street and Charing-cross stations, and in two instances he had represented himself as a detective. He had been twice turned off the Charing-cross station by the detectives. When taken in custody he gave an address at which it was found on inquiry he had not resided for at least 12 months. On him were found two purses and seven pawnbrokers' dupli cates for articles pledged in different names. One of these was for a set of artificial teeth pledged for £lss. He was remanded for inquiry, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AT COUNT STRZLECRI'S.-At Alarlboiough• street, Frederick Johnson, a rough-looking fellow, described as a labourer, but refusing his address, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing, at 23, Savile-row, an opera-glass, a gold chain and seals, a medal, and a quantity of other iproperty, belonging to the Count Paul Strzlecki.—Henry Stokes, valet to the Count Strzlecki, said : Yesterday evening I dressed the count for dinner, and after he left I set everything right in the room. I went out, and on my return, the servant, who had gone upstairs to light a fire in the room, found the prisoner at the count's drawers, and in consequence of the alarm she gave I rushed upstairs, and saw the prisoner coining downstairs. I seized him, and sent the servant for a constable, and before his arrival the prisoner got me into Boyle-street, where I had a struggle lb him. He then got from my grasp, and I up p here he was overtaken as soon as I could, and followedwahsimtriipled -street, v and brought back to Savile - row. I returned there with a constable to see whether there was any one e l se i n th e house, but there was not. I then went to the Vine-street station and made the charge, and at the station a quantity of articles, the property of the count, were found on the prisoner. I believe the articles to be of the value of about £4o.—Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, who appeared to have made the best use of his time while in the house, as he had managed to select those articles from different places which were most portable and most easily to be concealed.

He was pursued, when he threw the fowls away, but was caught and given into custody. Th e prisoner, in his defence, said he was drunk and did not know what he was about, but the witnesses de nied the drunkenness. The juryfound the prisoner guilty.— Herbert Reeves, warder at Coldbath-fields Prison, put in the following convictions against the prisoner : —Nine months, at the sessions of this court, 15th of 1861, in the name of John Hall, fof. stealing linen from a cart ; eighteen months, 24th of March, 1862, at the sessions of this court, in the name of John Williams, for attempting to steal a case of stuffed birds ; three months, 24th December, 1563, at Marlborough-street Police-court, in the wain': of John Hodges, for attempting a robbery ; two years, at these sessions, October 3, 1865, for stealing pots ; and six months, October 12, 1367, at Marlborough -street Police-court, as a rogue and a vagabond.—Mr. Payne said he had had a long career of crime and almost every description of punishment, and he must therefore now be removed from society for some time to come. The sentence now upon him was, that he be kevt in ' , Anal servitude for 14017011 years. 'VII MD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. 771 E FENIAN ARRESTS AT DEPT FORD GREENWICH POLICE COURT-To-DAY. James Richardson, Florence M'Carthy, and Maurice Lytellton, were placed before Mr. Maude for further examination, at the above Police-court, charged with treason-felony. .The men, it will be recollected, were charged with attempting to administer the Fenian oath to a young man named James Bandall, an Ameri can, with the view of inducing him to commit trea son-felony. Mr. Wontner, jun., appeared on the part of the Crown for the prosecution, and said that being but recently instructd, he should only call confirmatory evidence of that given by the witness Boutall, and then he should ask for a remand. He should also put in a memorandum book which had been found on the prisoner Lyttleton, which was full of curious entries, most of which were signed Maurice Darcy, and amongst them the following► lines of poetry : And shall we bend and bend for ever, And shall no time our bondage sever, And shall we kneel, but battle never For our soil? And shall our tyrants safely reign On thrones built up of slaves and chains, And naught to us and ours remain But chains and toil. No ! round their graves our oath we plight, To watch, and labour, and unite, Till banded be the nation's might, It's spirit steeled. And then, collecting all our forco, We'll cross oppression in its course, And die ! or all our rights enforce, On the field. Like an ebbing sea that will come again, Slowly retire that host of men. Methinks they'll keep, some other day, The oath they swore on the martyr's clay, It's spirit steeled. MAimuCE DARcir, T.C.D. Deptford, S.E., London, Jan. 14, 1868. Edmond Seale, landlord of the King William the Fourth public-house, Wellington-street, Deptford, said that on Sunday last Littleton, O'Leary, and one of the others came to my house with the witness Boutell. After a short time M'Carthy came in, and then having ordered some beer, began talking about America. One of the mcn called Boutell a-- Fenian. A very spirited conversation took place, when Lyttleton struck his hand on the table and said, " We've a -- snake amongst us, which must ' be dispersed.' " I then interfered, when one of the men challenged me to fight. In the meantime Lyttleton, Boutell, O'Leary, and another one or two went into my back passage. They were going to my parlour, but they found it locked. Boutell asked me for the key, which I called for, and then gave it to him, and then all except Lyttleton went into it. Lytticton—l hope you will pay attention to that. Witness continued—Lyttleton was then in the front of the bar. I don't know who -it was who said, " Let us sit down and talk over some matters we have to settle." I think all the people in the parlour must have heard that remark. I afterwards told them that as it was getting near three o'clock they must settle their conversation, as I was going to close the house. I then went into the bar. O'Leary then came out and advised Lyttleton to go into the parlour, but be said, " I shan't," but he afterwards went in with O'Leary. At two minutes before three o'clock I went to the door and told them to come out, but I found the door locked. I demanded admission, and in two or three minutes the door was opened by O'Leary, and I then said, "As my house is closed in front, you must go out the back way." Richard son did not come to me and make some remarks about what was going on inside. I did not sea them come out of the room until I had tried to open the door, or before they all left. About a quarter to five Boutell, the same afternoon, came and told ine he had had a conversation with the prisoners. Carthy, O'Leary, Ly ttleton, and Richarism came into the house together. O'Leary tried to strike Boutell. I interfered, when Lyttleton made a rush at me and struck me in the jaw. Lyttleton—That's true. Witness continued—Riehardson told him he had no right to strike me, and after that I got them out of the house and I did not see them any more. Cross-examined by Mr. Pulling for Richardson and M'Carthy--I have occupied the house two years. I don't recollect ever seeing M'Carthy be fore that occasion, and then he came to inquire about a potman. I don't remember to have seen Richardson there at my house previous to that day. It was about two when M'Carthy came. The con versation before the bar occupied about a quarter of an hour. I cannot account for the time between that time and three o'clock when I closed the house. I don't know what they did during the other part of the time they were there. They were in the room about a quarter of an hour. They all went into the room, but I can't swear that M'Carthy did not leave the room, neither can I with respect to Richardson. I recollect the door being locked, but I don't remember anybody coming to me after that. I believe that M'Carthy came out of the room first, but I don't recollect exactly how they came out of the room. My impression is that M'Carthy was standing outside the door when I went to knock at it. I had not noticed him there before, so I cannot say how long he had been out side. He was not outside the back door of the house—it was the parloar door lam speaking of. I told him I wanted to turn the men out, but I don't recollect his reply. I don't recollect him saying he was waiting to arrest one of the parties as a Fenian. M'Carthy—You don't recollect that ! Witness continued—l will not swear M'Carthy did not use the words. He might have done so, but I did not hear them. I did not see Richardson outside the door before the other men came out. He did not come and say to me, " There is some bad business going on inside, and you had better get the men out." Nothing of the sort was said. M'Carthy did not say he was waiting to arrest any one. When I opened the door I let out three men, Lyttleton, O'Leary, and Boutell. Mr. Maude —Then there was nobody left in the room? Witness—No, sir. Cross-examination continued—At half-past five I recollect M'Carthy coming to my house, and I remember the fact from the circumstance that the party were the last to leave and the first to return. I took particular notice of O'Leary, Lyttleton, and Boutell, but Richardson I knew took part in the fight, as he tried to defend me. During the whole of the Sunday I never heard one expres sion relative to Fenianism from M'Carthy, neither did I from Richardson. kfter the afternoon occur rence at two o'clock on the Sunday, in the evening at five o'clock I again saw Boutell ; he came to re port to me what had been done. He went away, and I have not seen him since. I had:seen Boutell come in for the first time about a week before the occurrence of which lam speaking took place. He never asked me whether Irishmen came to my house. My house is supported entirely by Irish people. I cannot say Boutell was there in frequent conversa tion with my customers. I don't know what he usually talked about. I don't think I ought to be expected to know what all my customers talk about. I have seen Ling the detective once in my house with Bou tell. I have seen Boutell twice, reckoning the time I have seen him in court. I never heard Boutell swear that he was not a Fenian. I don't know how much drink Boutell had on the Sunday, but I know he did not spend three shillings. He could not have done so ; he only had beer. I keep a tally, but not against men of principle, and I consider Boutell to be one of that class. I know he would pay me if he owed me anything without my asking him for it. I will not swear that he does or does not at the present time owe me money. Mr. Maude—You don't run accounts ; yours is a ready-money business. Witness—Yes. Mr. Maude—And if a person whom you know comes in a hurry and takes refreshment and does not ray, you don't take notice of it on the instant? Witness—That is so, sir. I don't know an ex policeman named Knight. Inspecter Griffin—That person has nothing at all o do with the case. Lyttleton---I am about to cross-examine the wit ness, and before I do so I wish to know whether there are any Irish detectives present. Inspector Griffin—There are none that I know of. Lyttleton—Very well. Non, then, Mr. Seale, you know me, don't you?—Yes. _ And on the Sunday did not the detective, James Boutell, come in and join our company ?—Y es, he Do you recollect Boutell going out of the house and on his return finding Richardson, O'Leary, and APCarthy closeted together ?—No, I do not. Don't you recollect giving Boatel' some change on the Sunday morning as due to him for stand ing' treat on the previous Saturday night? I do. I alsa recollect that there was a person there that night who denounced Boutell as a Fenian, and your putting him out of the house for it. In answer to further questions from Lyttleton, the witness said—l did not see Boutell and O'Leary in a private conversation ; they were talking to gether, but not whispering. Ido not recollect your leaving the parlour before Boutell and the others were out ; you all came out together. Lyttleton—You are a flippant perjurer. Mr. Maude—You must not use such expressions. Lyttleton—l can't command my feelings, but I say that man is a flippant perjurer. Will you, sir, swear on your solemn oath, that you did not know what Mr. James Boutell was about ? Witness—That I will swear. lam quite inno cent of what was going on in my house, or I would not have allowed it, I can assure you. I will also swear I did not hear Boutell say to you " Maurice, I know it was the drink that made you denounce me as a detective." Re-examined by Mr. Wontner—l know nothing more about Boutell than I do about any of my other customers. Before I went to the parlour door on the Sunday afternoon I had previously sent the potman, and from what he told me I went myself. lam quite sure when the men returned at five o'clock M'Carthy was with them, and I will take my oath I knew nothing about what was going on in my house. At this point the further examination was post poned until Friday next. Lyttletou—l wish your worship would send us to llorsemonger-lane Gaol; Maidstone is very incon venient to us. Mr. Maude—l have no power to do that. The prisoners were then removed. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. VICTORIA CLUB BETTING —This DAY.

IMPORTANT TRADE-11.IARIC CASE IN CHAN CERY.—(Before Vice-Chancellor Spragge.)—Davis v. Kennedy.—The plaintiffs in this case are the well-known firm of Perry, Davis, and Son, of Providence, 8.. 1., U.S. of America, and of 17, Southampton Row, Holborn, London (W. C.), and the action was brought at the May, 1867, term of the Court of Chancery in Hamilton, Canada West, to restrain the defendant, a resident of Hamilton fzom the use of their trade-mark, " Pain Killer." The hearing occupied the Court two days, and the Vice-Chan cellor, after withholding his decision till September 3d, 1867, then gave it in favour of the plaintiffs, granting a perpetual injunction against the defendant, and ordering him to pay to the plaintiffs all the profits ho had made by the use of their trade-mark, and all the costs of the suit ac. The following extracts from the judgment will suffi ciently explain the case and show the justice of the learned Vice-Chancellor's decision :—" The defendant contends that what the plaintiffs call a trade mark is not properly a trade mark, but a term of description of the article which he prepares. Ido not agree in this. It is a quaint combination of words never probably used together before, forming a name by which the inventor desired his preparation should be made known, and cal culated (as he rightly judged) from its quaintness to fix itself in the memory of the general public. I come now to the principal question in the cause—namely whether the defendant has infringed the plaintiffs' trade mark. He has been for several years the manufacturer and vendor of a preparation to which he ascribes many of the virtues which are claimed for the plaintiffs, and to which he has given the designation 'Pain Killer.' If . he had used the designation alone it would be a flagrant infinagemen d t of the plaintiffs' right. But it is contended l t h hat d th f e n w hn or va s are so used as not to mislead.pur.chasers..lt as a in rt t i h cl e e trisasdpsowkeitnuoinf bthyedlrausgtg.filysetsyienaHrsa.

I rad t rade- f m i a t refer to the language of Lord Cranworth in Farina v. Silverlock it is peculiarly apposite to the case before . The practice of app ropr i at i ng the trade marks f others has bean reprobated by various judges, and I have no doubt that Lord Cranworth used the word 'steal' to mark his sense of its gross impropriety. Iu Collins Company v. Cowan, Sir W. Page Wood took occasion to characterise It in language not more severe than just.

(2UEEN'S THEATRE. - The tide of success which the excellent drama of " Dearer than Life" turned iu favour of the new theatre will be materially strengthened by the new and sparkling operatic extravaganza, entitled "La Vivandiere ;" or,True to the Corps, which was pro duced last night. The author of the amusing little piece is Mr. AV. S. Gilbert. In this, as in his for mer production, " The Elixir of Love," he has run a tilt with Mr. Byron, whose fame for burlesque ex travaganza has been long acquired, and it is but fair to say he has outrivalled even that gentleman in word-twisting ingenuity. In "La Vivandiere" puns abound from beginning to end, some good, some of the opposite description, but all laughter-moving in the extreme. The author has, of course, used the plot of the original opera as far as possible, but he has introduced other trifles into it, which, as they add to the fun, may be well forgiven. Amongst his introductions is a certain count, the father of Maria, unknown to the opera, and this gloomy but entertaining indivi dual is represented as Count Manfred, living quietly at Mont Blanc. This part is capitally represented by Mr. L. Brough, whose dress and head gear are most artistically grotesque, the latter having all the appearance of the sable plumes so highly valued by undertakers. Then we have the Earl of Margate, Sir Peckham Rye, and other congenial spirits, all of whom are disco vered at the rising of• the curtain " doing" Mont Blanc. They then meet the count, and for fun they induce him to leave his cold and snowy home, and so arrange it that be shall meet his loving spouse, whom he has long mourned as being defunct. however such is not the fact. She is not only alive, but he also discovers that Maria is his daughter. The dashing little Vivandiere, on the discovery of her rank, is compelled to quit the corps, and eventually she is bethrothed to Mar gate's Earl; but Tonio becomes a hero, and of course secures Maria, and the piece concludes with general joy and a chorus. Sergeant Sulpizio of course takes an important part in the burlesque, and the character was supported by Mr. Toole in his own inimitable way. Miss Hodson as Maria the Vivandiere was particularly arch and bewitching, and Miss Addison as the Earl of Margate delivered her lines with point and effect. Mr. L. Brough as Manfred was magnificently humorous, and Miss Everard as the Marchioness was excellent. The dresses and scenery of the burlesque are magnificent and anything more brilliant has never been seen, even in the splendid productions of Madame Vestris. The music is particularly well selected, and it is to be especially commended on account of the care with which the music-hall melodies have been ignored. The piece was received with the most decided success, and at the fall of the curtain all the principal characters received the honour of a call. The house was crowded. NAVAL AND 11ILI1:•11?Y INTELLIGENCE. The 44th (East Essex) Regiment, under the com mand of Col. Ilart, left Aldershot yesterday morn ing, en route for Ireland. The regiment marched from quarters at half-past 8 o'clock, during a heavy shower, to tLe Farnborough station of the South- Western Railway, whence, at 10 o'clock, it pro ceeded by special train to Portsmouth, there to em bark on board her Majesty's ship ...:i.inoom for con veyance to Kingstown.

The same may be said of the 68th Regiment, which is held in readiness to proceed to Manchester. On Tuesday evening a "divisional ball," under the patronage of Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., was held in the Club-house at Aldershot, which was handsomely decorated for the occasion. There was a large attendance of the officers of the Staff and division and of the inhabi tants of the surrounding districts. The band of the 54th Regiment was in attendance. The Ist Infantry Brigade at Aldershot, consisting of the 40th Regiment, under Major French ; the 54th, under Colonel Thomson ; and the 56th, under Colonel Bull, proceeded on route marching duty on Tuesday, but owing to heavy rain were compelled to return to camp after a short march. On the same day C, D, and E batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery, respectively under the command of Capts. Watson, Timbrell, and Hill, and the whole under Col. Wintle, C. 8., marched out a short distance, but were likewise compelled by adverse weather to return to barracks.

From 1808 to 1814 he served in Portugal, Spain, and France. He particularly dis tinguished himself during the Peninsular war, and was present at nearly all the cavalry affairs and skirmishes with his regiment, the 14th Light Dra goons; he was also engaged in the action on the Coa, and was several times wounded. He was in July, 1830, appointed one of the Aides-de-Camp to King William IV. ; and subsequently held the appoint ment of Inspector-General of Cavalry at head quarters.
