Lord Wonsemess, in reply to the Marquis of Normanby,. consented to laY on the table any papers of which the Govern ment might be in possession relative to the expedition of Garibaldi to Sicily. The Earl of HARDWICK' moved for a return of the gnn-boats built by contract since 1852, the names of the contractors, and the present condition of tke vessels. It was necessary to see with whom the responsibility rested of the condition of these vessels. Sir Baldwin Walker might be a very clever man, but he was totally unfit for the office of surveyor of the navy. It was more especially necessary that they should have full infor mation, inasmuch as new contracts amounting to a million sterling had lately been entered into. The Duke of SOMERSET said that he was perfectly willing to grant the returns, which were similar to those already ordered by the Efouse of Commons. He gave his assurances that all the information in, the power of the Government should be produced. The Mama% of TOWNIIIEND said that inquiry was mos necessary, and ought to be full and searching. The motion wag agreed to. The Selling and Hawking Goods on Sunday Bill, and the Bankrupt Law (Scotland) Amendment Bill passed through committee. The Common Lsdging-houses (Ireland) Bill passed through the Malicious Injuries against Property, the Coinage Offences, the Accessories and Abettors, the Criminal Statutes Repeal, and the Customs Bills were read a third time and passed.

Alexander M'Clay, a- very respectable looking young man, d e scribed as the captain of the American ship Invincible, was put to the bar charged by a:female named Annie 'Wilson, one of the unfortunates, for having assaulted her by striking her .with a piece of glass in the face, inflicting three cuts thereon.

In reply to Mr. Muck", for the prisoner, the prosecutor said there • was. a fight in another part of the house, but he had nothing to do with it.

A seaman named Thomas Pierce summoned Captain Wil liams, of the ship Urgent, for £25 16s. 60. wages. Mr. Black was for the claimant, and Mr. Martin for the defendant. It appeared that in May, 1859, the claimant shipped for a voyage to Arica, and back to England. It also appeared that; meth° voyage out, the cargo. which consisted partly of spirits, was broached, and that the complainant and some other men were convicted of the offence, and kept in jail for three mouths at Arica, and it 'was alleged in consequence of this, that the wages were forfeited. On the other hand, it was urged that as there was no entry in the official log book of the broaching of the cargo, the conviction of the clairnant, &c.,. that the mag istrates. could nat. take any cog the bench being of of', the facts,' and of that. opinion, awarded £l9 4s. 6d. to claimant, being the sum due after deductions: CHANPAGNE.—An official return just published shows that the number of bottles of champagne sent to foreign countries from the department of the Marne, from the Ist April, 1859, to the Ist April, 1860, was 8,265,395, and that the number sent to dealers and private ton - burners in France during the same period was 3,039,621.

The proceedings hav ing been opened with prayer, The Cnssinaraet said: every anniversary of this society was fraught with greater interest than the pre ceding.. It was now forty. years since this auxiliary was established in Liverpool ; at that time the population of the town was scarcely more than 120,000, now it is estimated at about 400;000. During the period 'which had elapsed since their establishment great changes have taken place in the world. He referred to the changes which have been effected by steam and electrieity. Great as were these revolutions, still greater changei have taken place in the world with regard to religious things. Men now' felt a deeper sense of . religious responsibility, and especially of , the necessity of corriply s ing with that last injunction of the Saviour to go into all the world and preach the gospel. These must be taken as most encouraging symptoms to,the missionary cause. It was becoming for them to inquire whether their efforts and progress had been commensurate with the increased, facilities to which he-had referred. He spoke of the nooesaity for inOrecKing their efforts in the cause of religion. If, they neglected to do 'so no national resources would avail; and "Ichabod" would be written upon all those things which have apparently . secured to this country the veneration and love of surrounding . nations. - But - he had better hopes than these for the future of this country. God had hitherto been - pleased to bless the efforts-of the society, and if they. were true - to their principles .and to their responsibilities it was his firm conviction that God would continue his bles sings. He concluded by calling upon the secretary to read the report. • The Rev. H. CARPENTER, secretary of the society, then read the report, of which. the following is an abstract: —The incense recorded in 'the fast year's report was £2,721 ss. 9d. ; this year it -amounts . to! £3,015 19s. 4d. This additition of nearly £3OO arises from an increase in, nineteen of the chtirchos or branches connected With Our auxiliary: This increase varies very much in amount in these nineteen places, but more than one-half of the whole addition comes from one hranoh---that of Southport. The contributions there have been augmented in the past year by the sum of £lB5 Is. 11d. In addition to this, the ordinary income, ' there was contributed to the .Liverpeol association last year for the special fund for India £ll9 is. 4d. ; making the total subscribed in Liverpool for this purpose £1,042 ss. Wears thankful ago to report that the ordinary income of the Parent Society exceeds this year that of the past by nearly £lo,ooo'. Besides this, the amount contri buted in India, and expended on our missions there, is. this year £lB,OOO, against £15,000 in the year before.; The special fund for India, though less .by nearly one half than the year preceding, amounts. to £13,576 16s. 4d. Our devoted band of ,missionary clergymen is now raised to the number of 236. In Tinnevelly, where we had prevfouslY fifteen native clergymen, no fewer than- eight more have been added. These - eight - were ordained together; and five nativeleacons were at the same time admitted to the order of presbyter or priests. Such an •event is without a precedent in the history of' modern missions.., In Western Africa the sphere of missionary labour. has been considerably enlarged. The circle of light has spread and widened till it has reached, through the efforts of our native missionaries, to successive spots along the banks of the river Ni g er, so long the object of interest . and curiosity to the geographers and philantropists of Europe.. TiiAbbp lcuta, the first offshoot of our Sierra Leone Mission, we have four native churches, with . 700 converts. They have voluntarily subscribed, to support, at their own cost, native Scripture readers, to instruct their heathen countrymen in . the knowledge of the Gos pel. •In Sierra Leone, the parents of our West African Missions, almost all our congregations are under the Pastoral charge .of ,native ministers. In South India, during the past year, 1,354 was the number actoeu se oat oa s es— . . number there now under eltristian instruction is 37,240. There has been also an increase in.the north-west" pro vince of India. From Benares, one of our missionaries writes :—" We have every mason to' he thankful; the number of converts during the past year has been greater than in any previous year, and three or four times as great as the average number during thefew years pre cerling the mutiny. The Rajah of Bewares has four sons at the MisSionary College." There is, however, your committee regret to say, one serious impediment still in that country to the progress of the Gospel, in the policy which the Indian government continues to pur sue. Was not Christianity discountenanced and dis couraged by the government in the 24th Punjaub Native Infantry ? The circumstances are briefly these : Some soldiers belonging to that regiment had embraced Christianity; and, in the absence of missionaries, had sought ,farther instruction from their English Officers ; Enl when their officers were guiding these enquirers at their own express desire, the government of India interposed, and issued an order to every Punjaub regiment forbidding all their officers to give instruction Or to hold Christian intercourse with the heathen soldiers of their . regiments. What sort of neutrality is this ? But if, as we hope, 'a Wiser and more scriptural policy prevail, then we ma y expect that Ge England, and maintain and establish he rd powerhionnothuer East, then may we look for His blessing more abundantly on the labours of our raissionaries ; then shall the light Of the Gospel spread far and wide in that benighted region ; and India begin indeed to rise from the dOgra dation of ages. No longer then shall she celebrate her shall ot resound over a • • .• a s m h e all of th j e e p su ee s ple the tidings of a Saviour's love, and will unite with other polluted gods,llbtiuotr tphleainpor.ecioTuhsenn nations in the heavenly song, " Glory; to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will.towards men." Archdeacon Joerzs moved the first resolution, which was that the report be adopted, and that the committee for the ensuing year be the 861110 as that for lest year, and. that T. D. AllihrSoll, Esq. be appointed treasurer to the society. lie said it was not often that he consented to move a resolution at such a Meeting as the Present. He did so on this occasion, hoivever, because he thought that in the absence of the Lord Bishop of Chester and other distinguished' speakers, he might advance a gOod cause by coming forward to say a few words as an elder, and a witness for Christ. He • had always held it .as an axiom that the missionary cause would be more advanced, and if possible, rendered more interesting, if lay gentlemen would more frequently take it prominent part in the meetings connected with the cause. If this would be done by such distinguished laymen as their present chairman, he felt sure that the interest would be greatly increased. The chairman had referred to the time when the Liverpool auxiliary, was first established ; since that time, many valued labourers had been _taken away froni thorn, and it behoved those remaining to work hard while it was yet day. * • He referred to the examples which many good men bad set, and impressed upon all the necessity for their labouring in the cause of Christ. The resolutiOn was seconded by' the Rev. C. F. COBB. He detailed some interesting particulars of the society's operations in Benares, and stated that their efforts in that quarter bad been blessed with great success. The resolution was carried by acclamation. The Rev. J. 13p0MFIELD moved the next resolution, which was to the effect that that meeting return thanks to GOd for the great . inceess which had attended the society's efforts in India and Southern Africa. , . The motion was .seoonded, and carried unanimously. ; After a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman, the benediction was pronounced, and the meeting terminated. EX.rowrsidx or SHORT Hourrs.—On Friday last the i .first exportation of pure short horns frorn this country to 'Prussia was shipped at Hull. The lot comprised thirty lead of young bulls and heifers, selected with great care by G. Papendick, Esq., from the herd of . his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Sir J. ii. Lubbock,. Rev. J. ;Holmes, Messrs. Colvin, Lawson,. Thornton, 'Mitchell, Dent, and Neasham. T HE WEATHER.-31. Connick's letter to the Coitrrier des Halles is exciting great attention.. It will be remem-, tiered that Marshal Bugeaud had proclaimed the disco very of an ancient Spanish manuscript, in which the natural laws which govern the atmosphere were so clearly laid down that nothing was left to chance, and projects could be made with the greatest security. These calculations, based upon 50 years' experience, ' compris ing off revolutions of the moon, had enabled the author to foretel the weather to • a nicety, and the Marshal, struck by the' confidence with which the theory was broached, after taking some little trouble to practice the . same rule of calculation, found it unerring likewise. M. de Connick now comes forward with his experience also, and at length we can boast of possessing a key to the pranks of the moon, which will henceforth' render them completely harmless. This it is. The weather, eleven times out of twelve, is exactly • the same during' the Whole moon as on the fifth day—if, on the sixth day, it resembles the fifth, and nine times out of twelve it is exactly the same as the fourth day, if the sixth day resembles the, fourth.

EN TI AORDINARY DISCLOSURES. (Before iirezChdnrelliii Janes.) JoiiiilsoN' V. t4A.LiitaitErt The plaintiff was the assignee of Messrs. Burton and Watson, furniture .dealers,, late of Lend On-real, insol vents, and the defendants were Mrs. - Jane Gallagher, keeper of A. niiinber'of Rouges of. a cettain desctiptitin is LiVerpool, and Mr. W: Sfubiooke chalkley, secretary of the Liverpool Tradesmeti'OLoan Society. Mrs. Gallagher - hdd lived Unhappily 4ith h6' husband, quarrelled, and separated from him. She went to live with hgr,mether, ,Mrs.,Gakes„ in Copperas= hill, and they took in lodgers. They first rented a house then No. 12, in Silver-street, and shortly after wards a second honse id Tyrer-stieet, was' occupied; also the house No. 10, Silverstreet ; a house in Gill street ; one in Devon-street ; in. Pellew-street; another in t-afalgat-street ; two id Hothain-street . ; One in St. Vincbnt'street ; one ini_Springfield-street ; and others in .Eloughton-street, Upper Dawson -street, and Finch-street. The furniture in the whole of those houses was bbtained . from Burton and Watson, insolvents, and was to be paid for by: instalments. The houses were all of the class known as "gay houses." The insolvent Watson used'to call for the instalments, and when he called at the houses and found the " ladies " in bed, he would • wait until they made their •appeaiinee,downstairs, in order to secure' the 'cash: Mrs. Oakes paid for the'furniture out of the prOceedS of the hell*. The witness and her mother lived alter nately idall'the houses, and visited` - them every day in order to see that the "lodgers'' were made cohifortable. The furniture of the houses was obtained in the name of the witness, and the - brokers depended on , her for payment.. -The total transactions with the . bracts amounted. to about £3,000. Mrs: Oakes flied some years ago----haying commenced the business of pro curess in 1838 or 1839—at the age of 87, and witness, then took charge, and Control of the entire of the pro= perty deft: Her mother had :continued to purchase the houses ,she bad previously occupied_ in Houghten street, .Upper Dawson : street, and elsewhere, paying for those also by instalments. - She had also another house in Manehester. Previously to her mother's deathMiS. Gallagher had paid, sums of money to her' husband; who had" been living a very dissipated life but at length he , " drunk his senses away," and perished in the hospital. Mr: Morris, clerk 'in the office of a solicitor, was employeci to. obtain a mortgage on the -houses. Mrs. Gallagher admitted that the houses were left by her mother to her grandchildren, and that, this,. sbe • gave bills of sale upon the furni-: ture, and mortgaged the houses in order to raise money, treating the property in every respect as 'if it were exclusiebly her own. -In 1858 the defers-'• • dant Chalkley was- appointed a trustee, and the deeds were given up to him. She first became acquainted with Mr, .Chalkley in 1849, when she went to the Tradesmen's Loan Society 'for .assistance. The amount of the first loan she- obtained was £3OO, and her sureties were Mr. Pulgng; • cashrer to Mr. Bell, and Mi. Re.ughsedge, stationer, Cable-street. Those gentlemen knew the - ineans.slidhael of paying the promistory note — they knewwhere the money came. from. Since - 1849 she, constantly obtained loans from the Tradesmen's Society. Sometimes she -negotiated the loans herself, and saw several of tha directors, all of.. whom kneiv her, and she had. excellent credit with them. She paid the instalments pretty ,regularly until her r Mother died, when 'the biiiiness" begin to fall_ off, and her means were reduced. Mr. Chalkley knew when she obtained the loans that she was a married woman. Her husband never knew any thing of her business; she and her mother sent him his allowance of money regularly, "in order to .keep him quiet." An assignment was made in 1856 of the whole of the property for her separate use, and her husband signed the deed. A house at Rossctt, named Bird Cottage, was taken by witness's eldest daughter, who is 26 years of age, and the money necessary to pay for the furniture was . , obtained from a building society. Watson, how ever, went to the village, and was busy talking, and the witness, not,wishing her children to know how she obtained a living,, sent them to London, and they are now residing at No'. 1, Vassal-road, Brixton. When her mother died witness considered that- the whole of the property was her own, by right of her constant manage ment of the,businessand attendance upon, the deceased, although she knew. that a will was in • existence be queathing the • property to her children. The will had never - been proved, by which she had rendered herself liable to a penalty of £lOO. Getting . into arrears with the loan. society, she gave Mr. Chalkley a bill of sale upon the houses and furniture, time Pledging. her children's property -in order 'to secure her own creditors. The police took proceedings against her, and' she Was compelled to close one . or two of the • houses; 'the furniture, which cost £5OO, was sold by auction, and realised about £ 26 . Theie had , ho w e ve r , been a great wear and tear, as was usual in " gay houses." • Mr. Watson was security for her to the extent of £L7OO. and she herself was ceuara,ntee for a number or oter parties en Liu: 40.Tv vidN , --- thoney sometimes to pay the heavy school bills of her children, and she had contrived to keep-them in entire ignorance of her mode of obtaining a liVelihood. The gross profits of the houses were very large ; the " busi ness" was a very lucrative one. By the Viee-Chancellor—One of her boys was finish ing his &hication in France. Mr. W. S. Chalkley, the other defendant, was then examined. He had been secretary to the Liverpool Tradesmen's • Loan Society for many years. First became acquainted with Mrs. Gallagher eight or nine Years ago. On the occasion of the first loan he did not make inquiries respecting the person applying. She was known to the directors of the company. When he . laid .the application of Mrs. , Gallagher before the directors they immediately passed them. He understood that she had property of a certain description*" gay houses" 7 —ita different parts of the town. An assign ment of Mrs. Gallagher's property was made, with the consent of her • husband. 'When he found out that she was a"married woman he suggested that the property should .- he assigned to . him. He proposed that he should have an assignment of the hou s ehold I f • • property. Witness, however, - admitted That ho had seen- Mrs, r Oakas's will, which left the whole of ,her property to Thomas Gallagher's children. The deeds he held were only worth £l5O, hilt the society would not give them up until the loans were paid. The total amount of the loans was £1,390, for £1,000,0f which ho was surety. By Mr. Edwards—My inducement to become security was, that I saw her solicitude to keep her children right, and I endeavoured to assist her.--:Then, it was Don't you know it is the custom of these women to clotheltheir lodgera?—No, I do not.—The Vidti-ChanL cellor : I suppose you:can't give us evidence of the fact, Mr. Edwards. (Laughter - ) ' The examination of the witness was very lengthened, but it went merely to show the manner in which he hail control as trustee. He said that he. had endeavoured to perivade Mrs. Gallagher to give up the houses. The court then adjourned. . YESTERDAY. After some cpes possessing no feature of public interest had' beek disposed of, the, hearing of this cause ll_ Was resumed yesterday. Mr. Edwards, - at great length, addresied the court on :he part of the plaintiffs: He said tbn facts of the case !ay in a small compass. - The plaintiffs, as bad already been 'stated, were the representatives, as assignees, -01 Messrs. Burton and 'Watson.: ,It appeared that for some years prior to 1856, transactions to a large extent had taken place between Messrs• Burton 'and Watson and the defendant Mrs. Gallagher, who was then, and had for some time previously been, liv►ng separate from her ! husband. In the way of supplying furniture to Mrs. Gallagher, the, plaintiffs had dealt largely with her, kriowing that - she was separated from her husband. In the early part of the year 1856 Mri Gallagher told the plaintiffs that she had purchased a house near Chester, at a place called Rossett, 'and was desirous that they should furnish the cottage for her, stating to them at the time that she would•pay for the furniture. The house was accordingly furnished by the plaintiffs at an• expense 0f.4619 125., towards which Mrs.-Gallagher had paid on account the sum of £284. When the balance, was applied, for, Mrs. Gallagher refused' to pay it, stating to the plaintiffs that they might do as they liked—that she was induced to resist further payment in consequene of being successful in an action brought against her in 1857, by a person named Wood, who had supplied her with certain ,articles in furniture—that on that occasion she pleaded coverture, and Swore that she had no separate ,estate from her husband, the consequence of which was that that action was abandoned. The present claim , she resisted on the same grounds. The , learned counsel . went at very great length iutinan elaborate legal argument on a deed exe cuted pn the part of the defendant; 11.1 m Gallagher, which alleged that she had no separate interest in any property or furniture, but , that all was vested in trustees, for her benefit, and that sonsequently she was not responsible for the claim now made by the plaintiffs. The learned counsel also contended that the other 'defendant, Chalkley, -Was liable for the plaintiffs' debt, and that the bill of sale under which he took.possesSion of certain furniture was illegal. At the conclusion of the learned counsel's addressy Mr., Prendergast, on the ,part of the defendants, urged that, as regarded the bill of sale, Chalkley bad a prior claim to the'plaintiffs fOr advances of money, and that in reference to the balance sought to he recovered, the -claim was exorbitant-that the furniture supplied was not worth the money, and that the plaintiffs had made a charge .for it far above , its value ; and finally, that a sufficient consideration bad , been given for it by the sum already paid by Mrs. Gallagher.- The arguments were not' conclUded when the court rose at three o'clock, The further . hearing will be resumed this morning. • THE DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MAY 15, 1860. ROBBERY OF £31,000, IN BANE BiLLS, 1 IN LIVERPOOL. • CAPTURE OF THE THIEVES. Yesterday morning, John Scott, one of the detective police ; brottght up two well-dressed persons, before Mr. Raftins, at the Police-Court, charged with having stolen £li,ooo,id bank hills, from Mr. Haigh, of the firm of itests. Haigh & Co. ; of Old Hall-street, on Saturday last, about twelve o'clock. The prisoners gave the names of James jay. and Thomas Lee, and Mt. Snow ball dpreated for theM. The ease *as peettliai ; and Certainly Scott showed a great dealof tact, and deserves credit for his sagadity. The following are the factS of the case. Scott said,—betWeen three and four on Satur day, I W 0,5 at the qenerat Postoffice,when I saw the prisoner Jay, looking at a piece of paper, that appeared to me to be a receipt for a registered letter: I suspected all was not right, and watched him for some time, when he was joined by the other prisoner. I followed theni into Whitechapel ; when they observed me they ran away ; I followed ,and caught one in each hand; a London officer named Spiddall, who was doWn here, came up and assisted me; and I took them to the Police-Office, in Hatton-garden, and locked them up .as suspicious per sons. Soon after I ascertained that Mr. Haigh, of Old Hall-street, had been robbed of £11;000 in bank bills, some time before I took up the prisoners, and I then suspected that the prisoners had been concerned in the robbery,' and that they had sent off the bills to London. then went to the Postoffice, and found that a parcel had been registered there for London just before I saw saw the prisoners •at the Postoffice. The London officer, Spiddall, and Mr. Haigh, then pro ceeded to London, and it appears they have succeeded in' getting all the bills in the registered letter that was sent front Liverpool.. 'lnspector Horn said Mr. Haigh and the officer - Went to London, and' the police had just received a telegraphic message, that they had got the registered letter in London, which contained all the bills ; it was directed to one of the, prisoners' wives in London ; who is in custody in London, and therefore he would ask a remand of the prisoners. Mr. Snowball objected:to a remand, as he said there was no evidence against them. Suppose there was a woman in custody in Landon—there was no proof that she was the wife of one of the prisoners. Scott I found writing, and an envelope on one of the prisonets„similar to what was on the registered.letter ; and I know the prisoners: to be London Bank thieves. Inspector Horn said Mr. Haigh was • going to Messrs. Heywards' bank with a book containing the following bills—one on Frederick Hirth .and Co., London, dated Ist May, due 4th August, 1860,, for .45,500; a ditto, on Uhthoff and Co., London, dated Ist May, due 4th August, -1860, for £4 500; a ditto, drawn by Craven .Bank, Burnley, dated 11th May, 1860. due 4th June, 1860, in favour of H. Knowles and Son, on Dimsdale and Co., for £245 ; a ditto, drawn by R. Wildman, on Dimsdale and Co., in favour of ThomasViseman, due 27th May, 1860, for £4OO ; a ditto, drawn at Melbourne, by the Bank of Australia, upon the Bank of Australia in London, at sixty days' sight, due 7th July, 1860, for £619 ISs. 10d.; all endorsed by Thomas Haigh and Co. He had them in his pocket-book, and it was stolen out of his pocket about 12 o'clock, 'but he did not miss the book until he went to the Bank ; Scott had not, how ever, hoard of the robbery when he arrested the pri soners. Mr.. Snowball addressed Mr. Raffies, and con tended that there was no evidence to warrant a remand, but his Worship was of a different opinion, and remanded both prisoners for further examination.

THE BODNDARIES OF FRANCE AND PIEDMONT.—It appears that the fixing of , the new boundaries between France had Piedmont is nearly completed, owing to the activity of the engineers employed in the operation. The fort on Mont Cenis' alone gave rise to some difficulty. The Emperor is said to have demanded that the fort should be comprised in the French possessions, on the ground that it was the French government which had originally constructed it, at its own expense. M:Cavour had the audacity to claim it as being necessary to the defence of Piedmont.' Can it be against Piedmont's . liberator?

AN.trzYcatlyNATE CoureE.=A case of more, than . ordinary intere , t, has been heard before the Nottingham magistrates, which should ho a warning to young per sons not to be too rash in precipitating themselves before the hymeneal altar. A young man, 19 years of age, named William Packer, who bore upon his countenance incipient marks of matrimonial care, applied fia advice under circiunsteuces of an extraordinary character. Hp was accompanied by a young girl, just 18; whom he stated was his wife, and wire appeared much distressed. The young man stated, in dolorous' accents, ,that on Mimi*, last he got married, at St.. Clituch,,to the interesting, young female at his side, but owing to the hard-hehrtedness of an uncle of the bride, the honeymoon was• spent most unhappily. The bride it appears has been living with her uncle, Mr. Bucknall, for several years; the marriage had taken place without his. consent, and now he would not allow the young woman to have some goods which belonged to her. In consequence of this, the poor creatures had neither money nor goods, and were obliged to sleep the first night on the hearthstone before the fire ! He (bride groom), applied to the union, but failed there, and as a last resource went to the police station on Tuesday night. Mr. Superintendent Raynor sent De tective Langtoru to ias t a;ss ;se, the CaFe, and•he found Nligs much the same as described by the yowl; man. The applicant inquired whether he could claim the goods which belonged to his wife.—Mr. Fclkiu replied that he was entitled to the articles, hut was of opinion that a private reconciliation between the parties would be more desirable. The uncle s a stern-looking elderly man, when asked why he objected to give up the goods, replied that in the first ,place he did not think the marriage was legal. The youthful benetlict proved to a certainty, by witnesses and certificate, that the wedding .was a bone fide one. The bench having intimated that, the objection was disposed of,- the old gentleman said that the goods in question belonged to him, be having maintained his niece for some time. He thought it was a most foolish marriage, and did not wish to have any thing to do with the' youthfuleaffenders. The poor wife here beganto shed tears copiously, while theiold gentle- Man waxed sterrier`eierY moment. After some_treuhle the bench 'prevailed upon the uncle to allow' them to have the goods, and thus stint housekeeping,, telling him that if he persisted in his obstinacy the application 'would take adegal form. The result was received, with some applause. The luckless pair then left the court, the husband seeming to be conscious that the first little difictilty in his matrimonial career had been Snr mounted.—Nottiskehain Journal., THE FRENCH •Esintess AND nix BONNET.—The Inperial Eugenie would have' that bonnet, and no ober; but there was a difficulty. ,MadaMe 'Hortense Millard had not given in her adhesion to the Napo; lonian ideas; she was still .Orleaniet—pure blood. however, an emissary from the chateati was appointed toconduct the negotiationg between the Court, and the atliers of Madame Babillard. Madame' R. conceived the idea of inflicting a blow on the dynasty -of the prrvenus. The Empress was to Wear the bonnet on a giten day at a review on the plain of Satiety, which was to take place at two p.m. It was calculated that the Enpress would leave St. Cloud at one p.m. Now, at thit, very hour there was to be a great choral festivity inthe neighbourhood of London, at which, certain of tle Orleanist Princesses wore to assist, with their atts n &it ladies:. It Was therefore arranged that at one p.m. pacirely all the' Orleans ladies were to make their ap parance in public, each one wearing a ehapeaU rasp . as conceived by Madame B.

But there is no other ekltiet ,qf exclu sion from masonry than that of character; ane e bad Man mat, with the same propriety, complain of hif exclusion from Old Confidence, of society, as of his exclu sion from the lodge. The fault is.with himself; not in society, nor in the laws bf 'the 'ledge, 'Bat it is among such tnea, and religibus bigots; and designin i 3 Poll; ticians, that niasonry has always found its bitterest enemies, Durin g the:dark ages the Chirelf of _Rome was inde ed ostensibly 'the friend end patron of 'Freemasonry. It conferrec on its members ariany important ge•c Privile. and allowed them to be governed by laws, enstams, and ceremonies peculiar to rheinselves. Btrt this unwonted clemency was of short duration. The masons were fostered by the Pope - and Vishop', so long only as they could be adt'antageausly employed in the erection of churches, iponasteries and cathedrals. The " Holy Mother Chinch." though she disapproved the principles of Freemasonry, did not, deem it , deroga tory to patronise ,its members under the pretence of toleration, so lone as they could administer to her vanity and ambition ; but when the mesons had become more numerous, and the demand for religions structures less. urgent, we find her not only depriving the fraternity of those privileges which she had veluritarily conferred, but pursuing with intolerence the very. men to whom she was indepted for much of her ecclesiastical grandeur. Her intercourse with the fraternity bad taught her that their liberal doctrines were dangerous to the policy, of Popedom, tending . to enlighten the liumen mind and dispel the mists of superstition. From that time to the present she has been the steady enemy of our institution, and her ecclesiastical thunders and inquisitorial tortures have been in turn employed for its annihilation. In every country Europe where she pwsesses power, Freemasonry now lies in the dust by the side of prostrate freedom and crushed intellect. Freemasonry is nota religious institution, it teaches no religious _dogmas,; it interferes with no man's religious opinions further than a recognition of the great funda mental principle of all religion—a belief in the existence and providence of God. -- Sectarians have nothing to hope and nothing to fear from it on this account; proselytism is no part of its business. Religious discus sions are strictly prohibited within its lodge:rooms even the "Holy Mother Charch" may trust it thus far. Masoury,..haling the Omnipotent architect of the .Universe for the object of its adoration and imitation His great and wonderful works for its pattern and pro - - totype ; and the wisest and best men of all ages, - nations, and languages, for its patrons and professors, (compre hending all sciences, divine and human), must be a subject of boundless extent. Masonry we trace amongst the Eastern magic, and in the renowned learning of Egypt, fiona whence, like other sciences, taking a westerly direction, it was brought by that European apostle of Freemasonry, Pythagoras, from whose i propagation it reached the British Isles. Its principles were respected and disseminated by Brahmins, philosophers, artists, and saints, and diffused the light of science to the remotest corner of the earth. It taught natural religion, philosophy, subordination, and arts on the banks of the Ganges, in the hieroglyphics of Egypt, the sanctuaries of Eleusis, the schools of sages, and the c sof Druids. Though masonry primarily inculcates morals and the religion of nature, it has caught an additional spark from the light of revelation and the sun of righteous ness. And though masonry continues to burn with subordinate lustre, it lights the human traveller the same road ; it breathes a concordant spirit of universal benevolence and brotherly love, adds one thread more to the silken chord of evangelical charity which binds man to man, and crowns the cardinal virtues with Christian graces. Thus it aids the cause of virtue, by giving additional weight to moral obligations, and pro motes public happiness by enjoining a peaceful submis sion to every existing mode of government. But it may be said, why has it always been locked up in. secresy ? The Almighty locks up gold in the earth, and pearls in the ocean, not to bury them unkindly from human use, but to reward human industry for its search of them. And why do men lock up precious things, but to keep them from pilfering and unhallowed hands ? Moreover, 'silence and secresy inspire awe and solemnity. Hence the, moral precepts, illustra tions, allegories, signs, and tokens of Masonry,. are prohibited from being written or printed, and have been, with 'oracular caution, transmitted by oral.dadition from generation to generation. But, after all, it must be confessed that its harmless, secrets are but sentinels and guards against imposition. .

In conse quence of this a great number of men left their work, but on the following day returned ; and a request has been made by their elegates that the non-society and the society, men should be kept as much apart as possible, to prevent further quarrelling." MUTINY AT MALTA.—WO hear that a serious distur bance, if not mutiny, has taken place on board her Majesty's ship James Watt, in Malta harbour. The affair has been kept as quiet as possible ; but from what we can uathey, it appears that on the night of the 16th nit.., when the captain, commander, first lieutenant, and officer of Marines, were out of the ship, intima tion was received that the ship's company were in a state of mutiny, smashing their mess traps, throw ing shot about, and insulting their officers. The gunner was hit across the loins with a marling-spike, and he is said to be still suffering from the injury re ceived. It is reported that two officers jumped overboard, end were picked up by a Maltese boat. It was not until the Mains were ordered to clear the lower deck, that order was restored. • A court of inquiry has been sitting on the affair, but we have not heard the result. It is said that the grievance was an ungracious refusal to allow leave to the good conduct men, and to be permitted to send their linen on shore to the wash. Those repeated acts of mutinous insubordination on board our ships of war area disgrace to the British navy. The James Watt left port on the Ist instant, it is reported for Sicily. The Cadmus left the same day for the West Indies, and the Firefly to resume surveying operations in the Levant.

Captain Gardiner, the founder of the society, with his party, perished of starvation in that inhospit able region ; hut latterly the plan of the society has been to have their central station and depot in the Falk land Wands, and to hold communication with Terra del Fuego by a mission ship. A party of nine natives had been brought from -thence to the Falklands for instruction, and for the sake of showing theM the mode of civilised life—the mission, .on their part, deriving the advantage of a knowledge of the language. After IL stay of ten months they embarked for their return on beard the Allen Gardiner, under the command of Capt. Fell, with his brother as chief officer, a crew of six men, and - Mr. G. Philips, catechiSf. Before landing the natives the captain searched their bundles, in con sequence of some trifling articles being missed. This gave offends, and one Man showed great . anger on being xictootoct in.the p oteozcion of nn urtielo not hie own; it is not thought, however, that this was the cause of what afterwards happened, but simply a desire to plunder the vessel. The ship had remained six days off Terra dd. Fuego, the Europeans mixing with some 300 natives, who had assembled with every appearance of friendli ness, when, on Sunday, the 6th of November, the party proceeded, at half-past ten, to celebrate Divine worship —not in the ship, but on the beach—leaving the cook in charge of the ship, the boat on shore unguarded, and 'themselves' without tirms'wfthin their grasp, though the dangerous character of the natives was well known, and they appear to have been about. And these,. soon after the service began, set upon the party with clubs, mas sacred them all, and then made for the boat. The.cook, seeing his danger, jumped into the,sbip's gig, rowed forhis and, though pursued, succeeded in reaching the shore and escaping into the wood. After four days he ventured, in his extreme misery, to approach' the natives, and, strange to say, was treated with great kindness and lived with them for 'three months, until a vessel which had. been ,scut to look for the party arrived and took The Allen Gardiner was found rifled of everything,, but her hull and spars were uninjured.' 'lt ,is 'not stated 'what became of the bodies of thii'mut 'dered men., It is with pleasure we notice the increase of cures without mr divine by Du Barry's delicious. Revalent.l Arabica.

It masists of 466,250 florins in Vailous securities; the estate of Klenownik, in Croatia. valued et 245,000 florins; a ,share in the works of Krastniek, estirliated at 31,500 florins, betides plate, furniture, &c. The wilds aasets - form a total of 786,239 florins, while the liabilities ate 185,300 florins. The net amount of the estate is conseqtently 600,939 florins (£60,000). AN AMERICAN RAILWAY ACCIDENT. — A short time since the Hon. Fayette M‘Mullen, ex-Governor of Wash ington Territory, while ridingon horseback and approach ing the railroad at Marion, discoveired a train near at hand, and running very rapidly. He at once checked his horse; but the animal becoming frightened, dashed off, and reached the track where the road crosses at the very_mornent the approaching _train got to that -point. The hOtse was run over and instantly killed, and 11I'Mullen thrown on the cow-catcher, where he remained for some moments, Until the engineer was able to reach him, and succeeded in drdgging him on the engine, the train all the while being in rapid motion. The most singular part of the whole transaction vMs the fact that the governor was net injured in the slightest degree.— _Arca; York. Courier and Inquirer. A PATRIOT TONED DOWN.—Mrs. Moppen had been presented at court with all becoming splendour of diamonds and feathers, hut she had never received an invitation to:a court ball. One was duly forwarded, and on the very crating of the day when that invitation had been received at Jiiniper-hall, Clapham Rise, a speech which Mr. Moppen had originally set in five sharps, and which was intended by that gentlenian as a root and branch attack upon the government for their profligate expenditure of public money on military preparations, was toned down to five flats. Mr. Moppen, on leaving home, bad informed his consort that the blandishments of a luxurious court were entirely thrown away upon him, and that rather than betray his country, he was prepared to die in his place in the House of Commons; but all I know is, that his speech did give great satis factionto the Treasury Bench.—Once a Week. THE IMPERIAL PRINCE.—The MonUeur publishes the following :—The Prince Imperial having manifested a wish to see the Enfans de Troupe of the Imperial Guard, the Emperor allowed those belonging to the regiments now in Paris to be brought to the Tuileries. About five o'clock nearly 150 boys were marched to the palace, where Marshal Regnaud de Saint Jean d'Angely, General Mellinet, and the colonels of the Ist division of infantry of the Guard had also assembled. The Prince Imperial placed himself in the ranks, and the whole of the troop filed off before the Emperor and the Empress. Immediately after, the boys went into the Galerie de Musee, where a collation had been prepared. The Prince Imperial, who was seated in the midst of them, was the object of a real ovation on their part, and in reply to it he cried out, \lye l'Artnee !—Vive les Enfans de Troupe.' This toast, which was not expected from a child' of his age, gave great pleasure to all pre- sent. Their Majesties presided at this improvised fete, and cordially enjoyed the happiness which the young prince and his comrades appeared to feel." A CuAstrrosi or OTHER DAYS.—Whilst the whole country is ringing with the praises of Tom Savers' pluck, courage, and endurance, and he is being feted in public and in private, it may not be amiss to remind our sporting friends that at Colebrook, in this county, there resides the well-known Abraham Cann, who is nearly three score and ten ,years of age, who in former days was champion wrestler of England ; a man who was never beaten in his life, who never sold his backer, who never disgraced his county by foul play or vicious habits, and who, when in his prime, was the means of others pocketing thousands of pounds, whilst he hims self remained poor. He is now unable; by age and failing health, to earn a subsistence for himself and family, and therefore compelled to accept parochial relief. Some friends of the veteran champion, however, have commenced a snbscription for him, with the view of alleviating in some degree the bitterness of poverty' which in his declining years has fallen to his lot; and we are requested to state that Mr. Langdon, of the Bull Inn, Exeter, will gladly receive for 'that purpose any contributions which may be kindly entrusted to him.— Exeter Flying Post. _COURT-MARTIAL AT PORTSMOUTII.—A court-martial has been held on board her Majesty's ship Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, tinder the presidency of Ikear- Admiral Superintendent Hon. G. Grey, for the trial of Lieutenant l'atrickson; serving on board her Majesty's ship Asia, steam guard ship of ordinary _ at that port, on • - • • a'o4~ifii ii ding odccr. On the court assembling the prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge, and threw himself on the mercy of the court. Mr. Hoskins, solicitor, who attended as the prisoner's " friend," made a few observations to the court in mitigation of punishment, and handed in several excellent testimonials, which the prisoner had received from officers under whom he had formerly served. The court was then cleared, and on its being re-opened, the finding was read by the Deputy Judge-Advocate, which declared the charge proved •against the prisoner, and sentenced him to be dismissed her Majesty's ship Asia, and to be placed at the bottom of the list of lieutenants. THE LORDS AND THE PAPER DUTIES BILL.—Tbe Manchester papers state that the council of the Lanca shire Reformers Union will meet on this afternoon, at Newall's-buildings, in that city, to consider what measures should be adopted to meet the threatened oppo sition to the Paper Duties Bill in the Lords. A public meeting will also, it is stated, be held this even ing, at half-past !IMO, at the Assembly-rooms, Free trade-ball, to adopt resolutions expressive of the feelings of this part of the country against the aggressiim of the Peers upon the c onstitutional usages of the country. It is to be hoped the attendance will be large, and that Lord. Derby will not be allowed to suppose that he can, without censure, adopt such a course of policy as will interfere with the well known recognised right s o f th e representatives of the people in the House of Commous.
