Naval and Military Inteii-igence,. The Adventure and Assistance, iron steam troop ships, fitting out out at Portsmouth Dockyard for the conveyance of troops and stores to China, will not be ready to embark them for a week or so. As these vessels are children of the same parentage as the Transit it is possible her fate may stimulate the " powers that be," to make them worthy of the pennant. The Volcano, 3-gun steam-vessel, Master Com mander Hockey, is undergoing extensive repair at Portsmouth for the China station ' where she will do the duty of a floating smithery for the repair of the st.eamers' machinery on that station. The fore part of her is almost new. She is now being re caulked previous to being recopi cued, and may be expected to be out of dock in about a week or 10 days. She has been brig-rigged, which is consi dered to answer better for a long voyage, as she can carry but a small amount of cJal or other fuel for steaming. The Sphynx, steam. sloop, Captain A. P. E. Wilmot, C. 8., will be paid off at Portsmouth to morrow. She has landed at the gun-wharf the gun she brought as a present from the Sultan to the Queen. and which has been before de , cribed. It awaits 11 , 1- Majesty's ileasure as to its disposal. The Rodney, 92, in ordinary at Portsmouth, was taken to the shears yesterday to dismasted The Glat!on, 14, iron srearn tattery, was un docked yesterday at Portsmouth, and is to be laid up in ordinary. The G.neral Commanding-in-Chief in Scotland considering it incompatible, in the present state of the regiments of Artillery, that colonels should hold what may be considered the command of a bent-colonel, has decided to relieve Col. Warde of the command of the Royal Artillery there. It is stated that a couple of regiments will be sta tioned at Pembroke Dockyard in lieu of the present four-company battalion now doing duty there, and that this measure is contemplated in consequence of the duties of the establishment falling with seve rity on the depots, which are inadequate to guard the extended ground over which the posts lie. The staff and the first depot battalion are to be removed to Newport, Monmouthshire. Two more first-class frigates will be launched in the course of the season from Pembroke Dockyard. Tho Melpomene and Iminortahte have been long' h cued to the extent of 50 feet, by eitting them in two and lengthening them amidships to the extent of 32 feet, and by the stern and bows 13 feet and 5 feet respectively. They now rank as 51-gun fri gates in lieu of - 60's, for which they were originally intended, as sailing frigates. Th-ir engines are to be of 600 horse power, and their length will be 240 feet. An Admiral. y order has arrived at Sheerness to discontinue the fitment of the paddlewheel steam ship Terrible for assisting the Agamemnon in hy ing down the transatlantic telegraph cable. This order has been received in consequence of the ex ten4ve nature of her defects, ell of which are now ordered to be male good previous to her being put out of dry dock. The Cyclops, 6 guns, padclle - wheel steam frigtte, commissioned for particular s,rvice connected with the transatlan.dc telegraph cable, has been fitted and rigge'l. An Admiralty order has arrived at Sheerness to pay off the Cre-sy on her arrival there. She is then to he placed in the 2d Division of the steam squadron of reserve, under the charge of Capt. Edward P. Halsted, of the Edinburgh. The Cumberland, Capt. John B. Dickson, is re ceiving her shot, shell, (tc. Her hold is being stowed, and great activity prevails to get her ready for sea on the 15th inst. The Lizard has aga'n proceeded out to the Mouse. Mr. Jackson has succeeded in weighing the Curlew. As the weather continues mods rate, it is expected she will he brought into harbour this af ernoon's tide. None of the bodies have yet been recovered. The Vesuvius, 6 guns, paddlew:ieel steamship, Capt. Charles Wis 3 (la'e of the flagship Impregnable, at Devonport), is being fitted with all possible des patch. Yesterday morning the troly)s belonging to the provisional battalion at Chatham were marched to the fortifications at the Spur battery for toe pur pose of witnessing the infliction of corporal punish ment on a soldier of the Ist Battalion of the 60th Rifles, named John Quintrell, who had. been sen tenced by a district court martial to receive 50 lashes for having robbed a comrade, named Evans, belonging to the 53d Regiment, of a silver medal. The battalion having been formed into three sides of a square the sentence was read to the troops in the presence of the prisoner, who was then fastened to the triangles, and the punishment inflicted. The prisoner was afterwards removed to the garrison hospital. Yesterday a further discharge of troops, to the number of nearly 100 men of all ranks, took place from St. Mary's barracks, Chatham. It is understood to be the intention of the autho rities at the War-office to despatch a division of the Field Equipment Corps of the Royal Engineers to China, in order that they may act with the Royal Engineer force now on their passage thither. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty:— Lieutenants—S. W. H. Tompson, P. E. Luard, and G. T. Nicholas, to the Leopard ; J. R. Veitch, to the Cyclops. Masters—H. Harris, to the Leopard ; Wm. Luke, to the Boscawen. Chaplain—Rev. E. W. Fox to the Poscawen. Paymasters—Nicholas Giles to the Cyclops ; Kenneth Sutherland, to the Agamemnon ; Francois Auret, to the Boscawen ; John Lindsay, to the Castor. Assistant-paymasters'Wm.

The Times, in 'a recent article, declared that "Parliamentary Reform is now a Parliamentary question." Obviously, every prominent hmtings question, being a turning-point in the construction of the House of Commons, must become a Parlia m-mtary question. By showing is power to make or unmake individual members, it directly affects the deliberations and votes of the entire house. The electors having made Reform a hustngs ques tion have raised it into the dignity of a Parlia mertary one ; and by persevering in the same course with moderation and energy, the question, rapidly growing in importance, will soon determine the fate, not of members only, but of Ministers. It is not by mere talk, either at public meetings or private interviews, not by newspaper articles, nor even by petitions, that any great measure c‘n be carried through au adverse or reluctant Parlia ment. By the clear and logical process of reasoning —the quod erat demonstrandam—adopted at the late elections, Parliament .r) pupils, usually so slow to learn, were enabled to master the most difficul: - problems ; and if this proce=s be from time to tirn• continued, these "young gentlemen," with the same Q.

It should assert in one sentencethe people's mini mum, the concession of which they are prepay , d to make everywhere the condition of their ftv ure sup port. We hope it will not be thought presump tuous if we go further, and suggest the substance and form of this resolution. Here it is : " That no measure of Parliamentary Reform will be acceptable to the people of this country which does not eztend the franchise to householder- , in boroughs wen pying tenements of five pounds' annual value, an , l to householders in cDunties occupying tenements of ten pounds' annual value; which does not disfranchise boroughs having a less population than 10,000, ar.d give the vacant seats to p o p u l ous t owns a nd districts ; and which does not give to the voter the protection of the Were such a resolution adopted by the Reformers in every borough constituency—not nominally and as a mater of form only, but determinedly, as an essential article of political faith, awl the sine qua Mn of future electoral support—Lord Palmerston might deal out hit; jokes and pleas totries, the Edin burgh Review m i g ht aff ect to po o h-p oo h every pro position for organic . changes, ph at , uhe.aii and Reform-Club partisans might disguise their inten tion to deceive under vague generalities awl clap trap, but the peo ple in earnest, united, and organised, would be more than a match for them all.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Campbell and Jus tices Wightman, Erie, and Crompton.) THE QUEEN V. COCKBURN. Sir F. Thesiger (with whom was Mr. Turner) moved for a rule calling upon William Cockburn, the printer and proprietor of the Joint-Stock Com panies Journal, to show cause why a criminal in formation should not be filed against him for a libel published in that journal on the 18th April last, reflecting on the character of John Griffith Frith, the vice-chairman of the Bank of London, and. cal culated to affect the credit of the bank. The Bank of London was established in the year 1855, with Sir John Shelley as chairman, and the applicant, Mr. Frith, as vice-chairman. Its business was prosperous, and its shares were in a satisfactory cJndition. On the ] 4th April last an article ap peared in the Atlas newspaper on joint-stock com panies in general, in which it was stated that the directors of the Bank of London were indebted to the bank, and the name of Sir John Shelley was connected with the satement. At that time Sir John Shelley was absent from London, but Mr. Frith wrote a letter to the Times, in which he stated that Sir John Shelley was not indebted one shilling to the bank, but, on the contrary, the bank bad a considera,,le balance standing to the credit of his account. The letter also said that— " With respect to the unworthy motive attributed to the other directors in joining the board the best reply will be that no director in this bank has, or can bays, an advance upon anything but first-class bills of exchange, or upon such convertible security as would readily be taken by the Bank of England or by any London banker." In a subsequent number, on the 18th of April, the Atlas, which was a respectable journal, after refer ring to Mr. Frith's letter in the Times, said:— " In so far as he imagines that it was an implication of Sir John Shelley as having received advances he is in error, and, if open to that construction, it was not in tended, and we should muck regret it. Sir John at a re cent meeting stated thatdirectors had received advances. We object to any director receiving advances, and there fore our observations on that head were general," &c. After thi., this publication of the Joint Stock Com panies Journal of April 18 was circulated in an un usual manner, a person being employed with a pla,. card to go a,i out the c:ty, and sell in the banking. houses and in the streets. It was on the 23d and 24th of April that Mr. Cockburn caused the publi cation of the 18th of April to be so circulated. (The learned counsel then read the article of which he complained. It was headed, "Bank of London and Atlas Newspaper," and stated that those who were familiar with the antecedents of the Bank of London could now "form an opinion whether the parties whose moral condu , :t has been denounced in our columns are or are not capable of helping them selves to the funds of the bank in the manner an nounced by the Atlas,' and it concluded with these words : " The worthy vice-chairman of the Bank of London repudiates and utterly denies the above assertion re specting his colleagues ; but we belong to that nnsophiii ticated class of individuals who cling to the old-fashioned axiom that ' where there is smoke there must be fire.' Does any one in his senses sunpose that the respectable parties connected with the Atlas newspaper would gra tuitously have inserted so damaging an accusation with out having good and solid grounds to justify them in drawing public attention to the circumstances alluded to ? The public will do well to place in juxtaposition the two assertions—the cne emanating from a public journal the directors of which have a public duty to perform and an interest to maintain, and on that ac count no doubt feel themselves justified in holding up to scorn and contempt the conduct of such as would endeavour to impose on public credulity. On the other hand we have the denial of an interested party —one whose public conduct and moral character is on trial, and whose interest it is to prevent by every means in his power the transactions of the board of directors be coming known to the public. Had this gentleman dur ing the time he was vice-chairman in another bank, ta: , en as much pains to enlighten the public on the vices of his then chief, John Sadleir, as he is now endeavour ing to do with the virtues of his present colleagues, he would have done the State some service.'" The learned counsel stated that he bad the affidavit of Mr. Frith, ot S:r J. Shelley, of all the directors, and of the manager of the bank, stating that they bad not been parties to any transaction in con nexion with the bank which was irregular, or con trary to the deed, or injurious to the interests of the general body of shareholders, and that they.bad no interest in concealing any of their proceeding's from the shareholders or the public. Mr. Frith also stated that, since he had been vice-chairman he had attended to Vie affairs of the bank, and that no director had done anything irregular, or had any interest in keeping tke shareholders or the public in ignorance, of their proceedings. The Court could easily believe how very injurious the imputations contained in the libel must be to the characters of the parties, as well as to the interests of the shareholders of the bank, and therefore he trusted the Court would grant the application which he now made. Lord Campbell said the proceedings of joint-stock banks were matters of great public importance, and the Court would by no means interfere with any fair comments on their proceedings ; but in this case his Lordship thought the application was en titled to the interference of the Court, for, if unex • plained, it was difficult to say that the publication was bonat Ce. Rule nisi granted. THE QUEEN V. WOOLER—THE LATE DARLINGTON POISONING CASE. 'Mr. 0 verend, on behalf of Mr. Ford, the attorney for the defendant in this case (Mr. Wooler), who it will be recollected was tried at Durham on the charge of poisoning his wife, but acquitted, moved that the defendan . .'s bill of costs be referred back to ths Master for taxation. It seeme.l that' Mr. Wtaaler had objected to various items in the bill, and on taxation before the Master several reductions hail been made. The learned counsel stated that the gentleman on whose part he applied, had made ex traord.in.aty exertions to defend his client, and had incurred very considerable expenses, and believed that he was fully entitled to make some of the charges which the Master had disallowed. Rule granted. THE QUEEN (ON THE PROSECUTION OF MR. BARKER, MAGISTRATE) v. SIR E. CONROY-CRIMINAL IN FORMATION. Sir F. Thesiger applied on behalf of Mr. Barker, a magistrate for Berkshire, for a criminal informa tion against Sir Edwd. Conroy, also a magistrate for the same county, - under the following circum stances.:—lt appeared that Mr. 4 Barker was in the habit of attending divine service in the parish church of Hurst, of which Mr. Cameron was the perpetual curate, and Mr. Palmer, a member of the bar, the lay rector. In 1855 Mr. Cameron made considerable alterations in the church, and introduce 1 a new choir, both at his own expense. He also made considerable alterations in the deco rations of the church and in the mode of conducting divine service, which led to dissensions among the congregation, a large portion of whom retired alto gether from attendance at the church. Sir E. Con roy, who was not a parishioner, but resided in the neighbourhood, together with some other persons, formed themselves into a committee for the purpose of inducing Mr. Cameron to abandon some of these changes whichhe had effected. The bishop of the diocese, on being informed, f what hail taken place, requested Mr. Barker, Mr. Palmer (the lay rector), atid Mr. Walter, M.P. for Nottingham, who re sides at Bearwood, in the county, to endeavour to reconcile the differences in the parish. Negotiations then commenced between these gentlemen and Sir E. Conroy, and resulted in Mr. Cameron making various concession.. Alter this it seemed that some misunderstanding arose between Sir Edward and Mr. Barker as to the purport of a conversation at Bearwood, respecting •the acceptance on the part of the former of these concessions as satisfactory to the parishioners, and a rather warm correspondence followed, especially on the side of Sir Edward. They subsequently went to the Quarter Sessions, and, after the transaction of the ordinary business, Sir Edward and Mr. Barker, together with other magistrates, signed an order. Sir Edward after wards left the room and returned in an excited state, and asked Mr. Roberts, the clerk, to show him the order in question, and seeing Mr. Barker's name upon it, he struck his own name out, and, addressing the magistrate - , said, , " I do not consi der Mr. Barker a gentleman. 1 will not have my name attached to any order or paper !bearing his name, or act in any way or manner whatever." Lord Campbell—While' Mr. Barker was sitting as a magistrate and business was going on ? Sir F. Thesiger—Yes, before the court bad risen. Th. clerk then ordered the room to be cleared, and Sir Edward attain repeated his statement, saying, that he (the clerk) was not to ask for his name where Mr. Barker's name was, for he was wit a fit person to act with in any way. Under the circum stances he hoped their lordships would consider that Mr. Barker was entitled to the protection of the court. Lord Campbell—lf a stranger bad used these words to a magistrate in the discharge of his duty, he would, unless some explanation were given, be guilty of a misdena'eenour, and a brother magistrate would not bs lss so, if such words proceeded from bite. Take a rule. Rule ni, i. roLich: IN 1' FILLIGENCE-April 30. GUILDHALL.—Benjamin Matthews, a man about 30 years of age, was charged with picking pockets. Mr. Harri9on,/a temporary resident in London, said--As I was walking through Fteet-street, I lost my .ilk handkerchief, and soon after missed it. I purchased a new one, and went the same round THE SUN, LONDON, FRI'DAY EVENING, MAY I, 1867. again, to see if any attempt would be repeated to pick my pocket. Alderman Humphery—Well, did you lose that handkerchief also Mr. Harrison—Yes, sir. (Laughter.) I had rolled it up tight and put it crosswise in my pocket, so that I might feel it being taken. Alderman Humphery—Did you feel your new handkerchief taken ? Mr. Harrison—No, sir. I was watching my pocket to discover the thief at the very time it was taken, but it was gone before I knew anything of it. I heard some one call out, "Mind your hand kerchief," and when I turned round I saw the pri soner in the officer's arms. Alderman Humphery—You should have secured the corner of the handkerchief to the inside of the pocket, and then you would have felt the jerk. (Laughter.) Mr. Harrison—l did not think of that. Well, sir, 1 was about to ask you to pass a lenient sen tence upon the prisoner, because I certainly tempted him to commit this theft by walking round the same way again where I had lost my first handkerchief. Alderman Humphery—How could you have tempted him. Did you not put your handkerchief safely in your pocket and not leave even a corner hanging out to tempt him ? This is not the first handkerchief he has taken by a great many, and it is my opini , n he bad the other one as well. The prisoner, who had been iu custody before, was then committed to the House of Correction, at Holloway, for three months, and the handkerchief given up to Mr. Harrison. WORSHIP-STREET.—Mary Griffiths, an ema ciated and shrewish-looking woman, was charged • with threatening the life of her daughter and de stroying her own husband's property. Mr. Heritage, the solicitor, said that this was a most distressing instance of a wife's misconduct. The husband was foreman of some extensive iron works, and laboured hard to support the family, but the defendant's habits of inebriety were inces sant drawbacks to his best endeavour., and most reluctantly he found it necessary for the safety of himself and children to place her at the bar of a police court. Evidence was then given by the husband, and Jane, his daughter, 16 years of age. Above one hundred duplicates were produced of articles she had pledged for liquor in a short space of time, and the complainant stated that on the previous even ing she was in such a furious state from intoxica tion, that nearly every pane of glass in the house was destroyed by her ; not content with this, she followed them about the house with a table-knife, vowing to have their lives, and she struck her hus band so violently with a pewter pot that the mea sure was flattened. All the young woman's clothing was in the hands of the pawnbrokers, and she now stood with part of her father's clothing on her. A younger brother was actually found on one occa sion locked up in a room, the defendant having first taken fi caul him his school money, and then denuded him of his clothing. Toe officers of the court assurad the magistrate that the husband's conduct was uniformly highly creditable, while the defendant's was monstrous. Mr. D'Eyncourt observed that it was indeed a fearful instance of depravity, and it could not be tolerated that such conduct should be permitted by a wife more than from a husband. The accused, who said she was very sorry, was ordered to find bail for four months. 01 course she was locked up. MARL BOROUGH- STREET. —Elizabe th Wil son and Flora Banting, who had been formerly together in the service of Lady Caledon and Lady Chat lemont, were committed for tral for fraudu lently obtaining goods from Messrs. Shoolbred and Cook, linenclrapers, Tottenham-court - road, in the name of the Marchioness of Salisbury. THE ABDUCTION OF A YOUNG JEWESS.—Captain Erlam was brought up for final examination, charged with the abduction of Rose Goodman, a young Jewish girl under the age of 16 years. Mr. Morgan was for the accused, Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, for the prosecution. Mr. Lewis said, on the last occasion it was stated that the girl was 1G in October, but she was only 15, consequently but 14 years and 10 months old when taken away. He would prove this by the eviderce of the father. He could not produce the registry, as Jewish persons were not reo-istered. Rose Goodman was then recalled, and to ques tions, state i that on the day she left home to meet Captain Erlam by appointment in the Haymarket, she did meet him, and was then placed in a brougham that was it, waiting. She took no clothes, but clothes were provided by Captain Erlam and given to her at Amiens, the first place they stopped at. Cross-examined by Mr. Morgan—Her father came to Ostend to receive ber. She dined with her father and Captain Erlam at Ostend. Her father and Captain Erlam drank together. She did not know whether her father and Captain Erlam parted friends, and shook hands. She heard her father say if Captain Erlam came to England he would give him into custody. bile told Captai❑ Erlam she was not 16, and when on the Continent Captain Erlam gave a dinner to celebrate her 16th year. She believed then she was 16 from what her mother had told. her. Captain Erlam after wards told her that he had been separated from his wife for 15 years. Mr. Lewis having referred to a letter written by the girl to her father, Mr. Bingham said it was not necessary to go into extraneous matters. The question to decide was this, was the girl under 16 at the time she was taken away from Dome, it being an offence to take away a girl under 16. Abraham Levy Goodman, father of Rose Good man, proved that his daughter was not yet 16 ; that his daughter left home without his knowledge or consent in August last. After the elopement of his daughter he received a letter from Captain Erlatn. The letter was as follows : " Madam,—By desire of my wife, combined with my own sense of a duty I owe to you, I send a few lines to bPg that yon will not be under any anxiety on behalf of your daughter, who, you may fully depend, is under the protection of a husband most devotedly attached to her, and whose study it will be through life to promote her happine=s and welfare. Family circumstances render it necessary that our marriage should for the present re main generally unknown, especially to a member of my own family ; and I trust, now that Rose is mine beyond recall, you will, considering our mutual interest, act accordingly. I will conclude by saying that I trust our conduct will be looked upon as leniently as possible both by yourself and Mr. Goodman. Rest assured nothing on earth can make tue for a moment forget the serious duty I have taken upon myself for life. Rose still hopes that you will accept her best love, and believe me, madam, your most obedient servant, " JOSEPH ERLAM." Mr. Bingham—During your interview with Capt. Erlaw, at Ostend, did you ratify or sanction the proceedings of Capt. Erlam Witness—l did not. The letter was without any address, and he did not find out where his daughter was until the November fallowing. Having found out his lough ter, she consented ta meet him at Ostend. He did meet her there, and he !oak her sway. Cross-examined by Mr. Morgan—Did not dine with Captain Erlatn at Ostend. Paid for his 'mu and his daughter's dinner. Did not give Captain Erlam a cigar. Did not know Captain Erlam per sonally. Had a suspicion that his daughter ha-1 gone away with Captain Edam, in consequence of what had previously happened. His daughter had brought a card home with Cap'aiu Erlam's name on it, who had offered her marriage. He tore the card up, and scolded his daughter for receiving it, telling her she was no age to bo married at. He then removed his daugh•er to Brighton.' Emma Beckington, who had nursed the girl's mo th e r, said Rosa Goodman was born in October, 1841. • Mr. Bingham said, on the evidence before him, he must send the accused for trial. Mr. Morgan applied to have bail taken. Mr. Bingham was disposed to refuse bail, and to leave the prisoner to apply to Judges' Chambers. SOUTHWARK.—ItonnFav WITH VIOLENCE. T omas Genge, the landlo , d of the Great Britain beershop, in the Waterloo-road, was charged with having been concerned with others in stealing forty sovereigns from Simon Nelson, au aged Prussian, in the parlour of his beershop. The prosecutor, who spoke very good English, said. that he is a draper, carrying on business in Southampton. A few days ago he came up toLon don ta purchaQe goods, and about five o clock on the previous afternoon ho was crossing London bridge, when a Scotchman asked him the way to sonic place, Witness told him he was a stranger in London, when the Scotchman said, "So am I," and inquired which way he was going. He told him he was going to his loigings near Nine-elms, when the Scotchman said so was he, and they then walked together till they came to the Waterloo road. The Scotchman suggested that they should adjourn to a public-house forretreshment. He con sented, and they went into the Great Britain beer shop, when witness called for a bottle of ginger beer for himself and a glass of porter for the Scutchma,n. The prisoner was at the bar, aud said to his companion, " Walk inside, Mr. Murray," and then they entered the parlour. Im mediately af erwards two other men came into the room and sat opposite to them. Witness undid his waistcoat to get at his belt, in which he bad depo sited 160 sovereigns, for the purpose of taking one out to pay for the beer and ginger 13‘.er. Then the prisoner suddenly left the i•Jm, shutting the door alter him, and immtdiately the Scotchman seized him by the throat and forced. him back, while the other two men robbed him of 40 sovereigns. He called out " murder" and " police" very loud, but no ons came to his assistance. The Scotchman kept hold of him until the two others got out with his money ; and when he was released he made after the Scotchman, but the prisoner caught hold of him near the door and stopped him, saying that he would lose his trousers. Witness got away, and not being able to find either the Scotchman or the other two, he went to the station-house, and in formed the police of the robbery, when they re turned wi'h him to the beer-shop, and the prisoner was given into custody. Mr. Solomon, who appeared for the prisoner, contended that he was not connected with the thieves, but Mr. Combe said he should send him for trial. Ball was offered and taken. SINGULAR CASE OF AFFILIATION. (From. the Brighton, Gazette.) Yesterday, at the Borough Bench, before A. Bigge, W. Furner, D. M. Folkard, and Cordy Burrows, Esqrs., the case of "Thatcher v. D'Agui btr, an affiliation case in high life, was brought forward. Mr. Hutchinson, solicitor, of London, appeared for the complainant ; and Mr. Roupell, barrister, fur the defendant. Colonel D'Aguilar is a gentleman, residing at Bruton-street, Berkeley-square ; and Mrs. Thatcher is a widow lady, now stopping at the Old Ship, but previously residing in Wyndham -street. Mr. Hutchinson was opening the case, when he was stopped by Mr. Roupell, who requested that proof be given of the service of the summons. Mr. Hutchinson contended that Mr. Roupell's appearance for the defendant was a sufficient proof of the service of the summons, and then proceeded to state that his client was the widow of an officer. In 1852-43 she formed an acquaintance with Colo nel D'Aguilar, which resulted in a courtship and engagement, but the colonel becoming too inti mate, the complainant was delivered of a child. Up to the end of 1855 the colonel continued an allowance to his client of 301. a year, but which had since ceased, and an action for breach of pro mise of marriage had been commenced against him. He would be enabled to prove that money had been paid during that time. Mr. Hutchinson then called the complainant, but Mr. Roupell objecting to the case being gone into until proof of delivery of summons wasgiven. Mr. Hutchinson then called George Cadmore, clerk to Mrs. Thatcher's soli citor, who deposed that he had been to the colonel's residence in Bruton-street on several occasions, and had there left documents which had afterwards been attended to by his solicitors, Messrs. Palmer and Co., of Bedford-row. On the 18th of April he left a duplicate summons to the present complaint, which be gave to a servant whom he had always seen before. He afterwards saw Messrs. Palmer, who consented to receive the summons as a notice to produce. Mr. Palmer said it would beattended to, and he should appear by counsel to-day. Mr. Roupell thereon admitted service of the summons, but submitted that it was faulty. Colonel D'Aguilar had received a summons, and thought proper to appear before the bench in his (Mr. R.'s) person. The act stated that application for a summons should be made by the mother, and that she should at that time prove payment of money withi.h twelve months subsequent to the birth of the child, and until this was done in due form the application must fall. The case put for ward was a simple summon., but in accordance with the Act of Parliament that summons should rest on information given at the time of application. If a woman applied shortly after the birth of a child it was sufficient for her to make allega'ions as to the father, but when it was after a year the woman must make a statement as to delivery of the child, and proof must also be given of the payment of money, which, if not then given, the application must fall. It was not only necessary to prove that the summons had been served, but in that summons should be incorporated the appli cation made, and the statement of the woman when she made application for the summons. He further contended that not only must this application be made, but it must also be taken clown in writing. Mr. Hutchinson, in reply, maintained that the form of summons used, being that adopted all over the country, was sufficient, and that the learned `counsel appearing for the defendant was proof of I hie accepting service. Mr. Fusner—The summons sets forth that money was paid within 12 months of the birth of the child, but it does not state that proof was given of this. Mr. Hutchison argued that there was nothing on the face of the summons calculated to mislead. Mr. Roupell, after asking the bench if there was a necessity for a reply, or whether they did not think the summons should bo at once dismissed, submitted that there were certain preliminary pro ceedings which must be adopted in a proper form before he could proceed. On behalf of Colonel D'Aguilar he objected to the proceedings as infor mal ; and until all due forms had been carried out, he was not bound to answer the summons. After a very long deliberation of the magistrates, Mr. Biggs said the summons was informal, and they must therefore dismiss it. Mr. Roupell applied for costs. Mr. Hutchinson—This is not our proceeding, and we have nothing to do with costs. 100 Mr. Biggs declined to allow costs. 20 An application was then made for another sum- 20 mong, which was immediately granted, and made E returnable on Wednesday, May 13. 17 50 25 100 25 LONDON COFFEE AND EATING-ROUSE (t2O ASSOCIATION. j oo 1 100 20 The twentieth anniversary of this society was celebrated yesterday, at the London Tavern. The st . attendance was very numerous. Mr. Sheriff 1 20 Mechi took the chair, and was supported by the 20 leading friends of the institution. i 20 After the customary toasts, 20 The CHAIRMAN, in proposing prosperity to the 100 association, said, in the course of a most effective 12 speech, that be had great faith in public dinners. 100 He knew an instance of one charity that, from a short-sighted economy, had discontinued the annual practise of mustering its friends to eat and drink together. What was the consequence ? The subscriptions raised over the table-cloth bad been previously hundreds. The first year of the omis sion they dwindled down to 31. 12s. 4d. Innumer able letters were sent out. Large sums were ex pended in postage, but be doubted if the insig nifica,nt sum raised was sufficient to cover the outlay in Queen's heads. Still, with every desire to compliment them, he could not, and would not, praise them. They did not keep themselves, an d , f a ili ng iii that home duty, how could they expect others to keep them? Out of a number of 2,000 coffee-house keepers, he was sorry to find that scarcely a hundred dipped their hands into tbeir pockets to befriend their brethr en in distress He was afraid their pockets were too tightly but toned ; and he appealed to their pride to sr,apthose buttons, for he was fully aware that the shortest way to an Englishman's pocket was through his pride,—th , t way having been previously smoothed softened by the inluence of a good dinner. He would not forgive them unle,s they promised for the future to do better. These remarks, delivered in the most genial spirit of good humour, had the desired effect. Mr. ROGERS, the secretary, read out a goodly list of subscriptions, a large proportion of which, how ever, consisted of small sums. Mr.i Acton Ayrton, the newly elected member for the Tower Hamlets, Mr. Under-Sheriff Crosley, and other gentlemen, addressed the meeting, and the singing, which was unusually good, contributed much to the enjoyment of the evening. The greatest good humour prevailed throughout the evening, LAMBETH ELECTION.—The following notice bag been issued :—" Great dissatisfaction having been expressed by many electors of the borough of Lambeth at the man ner in which the election was conducted, and information having been received that unjustifiable and illPgat means were resorted to for the purpose of securing the same, a meeting was held at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, on Wednesday, the 15th April, when it was resolved to pre sent a petition to the House of Commons to set aside the election, and further tc raise a subscription to defray expenses. The sum of 3051. Bs. has already been re ceived.'

English clergyman writing to a contem porary says : It is a mockery that while our lords and ladies, and their brothers and cousins, the bishops, ate preaching charity in Exeter-hall, and forming societies for the protection of workwomen and the conversion of Hottentots, they should not form on for the "Suppression of Extravagant Wickedness ' in High Places." There was six . months ago a celebrated shop called "Harding's." Everyone about town knew that fashionable resort iu Pall-mall. From the Queen downwards it was the high place for high , dress. True, the prices were high likewise ; but then, as the fair habituees were wont to say, "You know the workwomen are well paid, well fed, and well treated ; there is no slavery there." Yet one day last. November the house was closed. How was this ? An excellent connection, great reputa tion, an old-established house, wi h great capital originally to back it, it had been losing money for years. How could his be ? It was for this reason—because these ladies-- the higliest and fairest of our lmd—whose names figure in endless charitable societies, who pay homage to Mn. Beecher Stowe as the thorn in ihe sde of slavery, and fall down and worship Bishop Lawitsleeves as the regenerator of evangelical re ligion—/iecause these ladies would not .pay heir milliners' bills. The Queen could set a good and noble example, and I think it, righ , to men:ion it. She could pay regularly every quarter for what she required ; but three years at soonest was Form. enough for the duchess aid most of the rest of the tram of the silk-and•satin-loving beanie's. How was it possible for any business 'to answer where the capital could oi , ly be turned over °flee in three years, unless the staff were underpaid for overwork, and the poor girls screwed down to a ne,,die-and thread slavery that flesh and blood revolts at ? The house stops. TLe good debt-, long, long incurted, amount to many thousands, and the'doubtful debts are gi eater, the bad debts more extensive still. But such noble names ! If t'is be the case with large bous,is, what must be the case with the smaller establishments ? Unlucky for me, an unwilling creditor, the assets, the books, and the facts have been put into my hands. BUt the books and the facts have swept away, with their harsh and cruel reality, that fair dream which I had from my boyhood of English true nobility. And were the books, or rather the black list, published, as it deserves to be, as much as the balance-sheet of the Royal British Bank, it would be seen that our English ladies are as extra vagant as some 'baronets and honourables are un rincipled, and that, though they can buy, they will hot pay—though they can preach, they will not practise.
