THE DAY'S NEWS. The trial of Spollen for the murder of Mr. Little still proceeds, and various opinions are entertained respecting the verdict, many parties feeling satisfied that he ought to be acquitted, whilst others as stoutly affirm that the chain of circumstantial evi dence is so complete as to render escape impossible. We devote considerable space to the proceedings connected with the trial in this morning's publiei tion. On Saturday G..orge Jackson underwent the extreme penalty of the law, in front of th 3 county gaol at Stafford, for the murder of Mr. Charlesworth at Abbots Bromley The scene on the scaffold was truly appallieg, the unhappy culprit struggling violently, and crying, sobbing, and shrieking i r the most pitiful manner. The partl.eu'ars of the 1.2- voli ing spectacle N‘itl be found in another column. There was a special meeting of the Town Council on Saturday. In opening the proceedings, his Worship the M.iyor alluled to the progress made in arranging the terms of the Mersey G:nservancy Bill The next matter taken up was the Water Committee's proceeding-, and the joint reports of Dr. Smith and Mr. Thomas Spencer, in the course of which it was stated, in very confident terms, that the Rivington water can be so filtered as to render it perfectly clear, and fit for every hous hold purpose. Mr. Alderman Bennett combatted some of the state ments container in Mr. Spencer's report, and con tended that the saving to the towu by theintroduction of the Rivington water was only £5OO during the half-year. He considered it would be better to go back to the red sandsteee water, and leave that from Rivington to the bleachers and others, for whose use it was intended. Mr. Bennett's remarks became unpalatable to Alderman Holme, and that gentleman taunted him with making lengthy and useless speeches Mr. Jeffery complained that the Water Committee had not presented a report for the information of the Council. After several speeches had been delivered, the preceeding of the Committee were confirmed. The other business on the paper was disposed of, and the Council separated. There are symptoms of a prorogation of Parlia ment. The Observer, of yesterday, informs us that the ministerial whitebait dinner takes place on Saturday next, and that her Majesty will, in all probability, prorogue Parliament on Saturday, the 22nd inst. Mr. Bright has arrived at Tamworth, and has issued an address to the electors of Bir mingham, in the course of which he declares he is in favour of a reform in the representation of the people. He views with approbation an extension of the franchise, and vote by ballot. He also says that to restore order in India would be a mercy to that country. The other candidates have retired from the contest, and in all probability he will have a walk over. The nomination fakes place to-day. His address has given general satisfaction. We now have the authority of a French court of justice for believing that a real, and not a hatched, conspiracy was undertaken to take away the life of the Emperor, for Tibaldi, Bartolotti, and Grilli, the three individuals who have taken their trial for the alleged offence, have been found guilty. Tibaldi has been sentenced to deportation for the term of his natural life, and will have, no doubt, to take a journey to Cayenne. In the cases of Bartolotti and Grilli there appear to have been extenuating circumstances, and their punishment is put down as imprisonment for fifteen years. Bartolotti add Grilli are the prisoners who pro fess to have made a confession of guilt which im plicates Mazzini and Ledra Rollin, and per haps this confession may be the matter referred to in the way of extenuationg their guilt ; or, pro bably, their testimony was believed when they denied having themselves determined to become assassins. Tibaldi stood out to the last in denying all knowledge of any scheme to destroy the Em peror. If we can believe the French Constitutionnel there is a remarkable bit of news from the Russian capital, namely, that Russia has made an applica tion to the Porte, with a view to such a modification of the Treaty of Paris as would enable her to employ a larger number of vessels of war to carry on her present operations on the coast of Circassia If Turkey accedes to such a proposal, the wonder will be why the war with Russia was ever under taken. The news from Constantinople is of a serious nature. Not only has the French Ambassador broken off diplomatic relations with the Porte, but, the Russian, Prussian, and Sardinian Ambassadors have followed his example. This took place on Thursday, if the telegraph is to be relied on. A Paris semi-official paper, on the authority of letters from Vienna, states that the new Turkish Ministers have declared their willingness to annul the Moldavian elections; but this is inconsistent with the subsequent diplomatic rupture. It is also inconsistent with what we now know of the character of Mustapha Pacha, the new Vizier, who, although he may be anxious to conciliate France, is as much opposed to the union of the Principalities as Reschid Pacha himself. Indeed, no Turkish statesman can regard that project with favour. It is understood that the serious question is at present under discussion in the private diplomatic con ference going on at Osborne. We find in our latest Constantinople advices details concerning the progress of events in the Principalities. At Jassy the return of the exiles had called forth a popular ovation. The number of those who had abstained from taking part in the elections was enormous, the •Metropolitan, whom Prince Vogorides deposed for it, heading the list, and thus virtually depriving the newly-elected Divan of its constitutional president. _ _ From Madrid we learn that M. Cortini had finished the pamphlet for the defence of Queen Christina, which he was some time ago charged to draw up, and the belief is that it will be published. The government had received information that some inhabitants of Cuba had formed the pro ject of assisting the filibuster sin a coup-de main, but from the food spirit of the population, it re garded any such movement as without the slight est chance of success. The Countes de Montijo. mother of the Empress of the French, had given a grand fete to the aristocracy of the capita►. If the Turin government journals are to be believed, the reformed movement in the Pontifical States, excited by the Pope's journey, is rapidly increasing. THERE is no evil without some counter. balancing advantage. Even the terrible losses and sufferings of war have their mitigations. There never was a time, perhaps, more favourable than the present for all military reforms, and especially for improvement in military education. Lately, we saw the losses and miseries inflicted on our brave soldiers in the Crimea through want of capacity and better mangement on the part of our superior officers. Since then we have finished a Persian skirmish, and have on our hands a Chinese war and a formidable Indian insurrection. This, then, is not the time to cling to old routine or perpetuate old abuses. Reforms are impera tively demanded in our army and in our admiralty. And we are glad to say that we seem in a fair way to obtain many of them. The system of favouritism and nepotism has received a severe check through recent revelations of incapacity. It will be our wisdom to strike while the iron is hot ; that is, we must carry reforms while the nation is . warmed and interested in such matters. Reform might sleep the long, long sleep of indefinite delay but for the warlike necessities that now unfortunately command our attention, and point to amendment. We seem now to be really within sight of Military Educa tional Reform. Many parties and circumstances have all concurred to favour this object. A number of gentlemen Commissioners had drawn up a care ful and elaborate report as to the result of their inquiries into the military system of France, Prussia, Austria, and Sardinia. It contained valuable information, and clearly established the superiority of all these nations in the training of their higher officers for the army. Popular as it may be to inveigh against Ministers, and charge them with all sorti of sinister views and pur poses, we must declare our hope and belief that in the matter of military education, they are, to a large extent, sincere. It is so visibly the necessity and the interest of the nation at this moment to urge forward military reform in every shape, that no Government could safely resist the public requirement. Even the aristocracy, who manage to appropriate to themselves the most lucrative posts in the army, must be con vinced of the same thing, and be borne away in the current of public feeling. Among several other s who have rendered excellent service, General EvANs and Mr. SYDNEY HERBERT stand pre-eminent. The large practical experience of the fine old General entitled him to speak as one having authority, and not as those scribes who THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, AUGUST 10. 1857. who have had no experience of a battle-field, nor ever smelled powder. And Mr. SYDNEY HERBERT has shown a statesmanlike mastery of all the details of military reform, These are good auguries for the future, only we must not remit our efforts, but keep the Government up to the working point. Already, under the pressure of public opinion, led on by General EVANS, Ministers have con ceded that all staff appointments shall be pre ceded and earned by competitive examinations. Other appointments also, are open to competition. And before the young officers who aspire to the higher posts in the army are admitted to the Military College, they must have continued some years with their regiments, in order to test their powers : they must have proved themselves to possess those physical and mental qualities which are necessary to command. If any considerable part of this be accomplished, it will produce the most beneficial results to the nation. To the genius of Humanity it may seem deplorable that a great nation should, at this hour of the world's civilisatiAL be intent on improving its machinery of destruction. We bewail this sad necessity as sincerely as any member of the Peace Society , but while the impulses of the savage hold such sway in the breasts of the so-called civilised, those establishments of destruction which we call armies will continue to be necessary ; and so long as they are necessary, we must try to render then efficient for their designed purpose. On the score of economy as well as of mercy, an army should be made as effective as possible. Its effectiveness is vastly increased when it is something more than a mass of animal courage pcecipitating itself on the foe—when that living mass is directed by mind trained and disciplined to duty—when each soldier has learned to respect himself as a man—and the officers and commanders are as much raised above the men in training and accomplishment as they are in military rank. This is our ideal, and toward this we must work, till that golden age of the future shall come when armies of devastation shall be exchanged for armies of industry, and the Napoleons of Peace shall be more glorified of the nations than the Napoleons of War. I'll, Mersey Conservancy Bill is in a fair way of being arranged. The proceedings of Friday, before the Lords' Committee, n►ay be thus sum marised. And here we would premise that, considering the delicate and difficult character of the affair, too much credit cannot be given to the deputation sent up by the Council to watch over the interests of the town and trade of Liverpool. They met a hostile majority in the House of Commons ; nevertheless, they were animated by the remarkable motto of Cardinal RICIIELIEU—"Never say fail." They fought with manly vigour against the bill, and so managed that, without calling a single witness, their Lordships' committee refused to recommend the wholesale principle of spoliation contained in the measure. This, as a water of course, induced. the.promotets of the bill to listen to reason, and compelled them to come to terms. Accordingly, on Friday, Mr. CALVERT, for the promoters, made a statement to the effect that the parties for whom he was engaged had accepted the terms offered by the Corporation as regards the Town Dues. For this surrender of the Anchorage and Town Dues the new trust are to guarantee the Corporation the sum of 1,500,0001. This, computed at 4 per cent. per annum, is equal to 60,0001. a-year. For this the Corporation are to complete the new landing stage in front of the Prince's Dock, but when finished the charge of maintenance, as well as that of the Observatory, is to be defrayed by the new dock trust. It is also to pay all costs and charges connected with the conservancy of the port of Liverpool, as well as that relating to the Wallasey or Leasowe embankments. The new trust are to complete, or guarantee the payment of the cost of completing, the Birkenhead dock extension. For the North Reserve the sum of 125,0001. is to be allowed. The Great 'Western Railway Company are to be secured a plot of land, measuring 40,000 square yards, between the Egerton and Morpeth docks and the quay of the low-water basin. It is also proposed that any further railway accommodation required now or for the next ten years at Birkenhead, shall be, in case of dispute, made the subject of arbitration. The Parliamentary Committee wisely add to their proposition that they will not be bound by any other bill which does not recognise these principles and guarantees. Such are the leading features in the terms proposed by the Corporation. The Dock Trustees assent to the abolition of the Town Dues for 1,500,0001., and concedes to the Great Western Railway Company all rights, if any, upon the South Reserve. They propose that existing creditors shall have priority over the dock funds, by virtue of the 46th clause of the bill. They also go for an abolition of govern ment nominees on the dock trust, and disallow vote by proxy. The proposition of Mr. CALVERT, Q.O , on behalf of the promoters of the bill, does not contain anything diametrically opposed to the terms offered by the Committee of the Liver pool Corporation. They insist upon the imme diate completion of the works at Birkenhead, and that any difference as to plans, &c., which may be agreed upon between Mr. HARTLEY and Mr. BRUNEL, and sanctioned by the Board of Trade before the Ist of OJtober next, shall be adopted and carried out. The South Reserve is to be appropriated generally to railway purposes. Permission is given for the law, courts to decide the terms and conditions of the lease between the Great Western Railway Company and the Corporation of Liverpool. The London and North-Western Railway Company desired to have a finger in the pie, but the Committee decided that the directors not hiving petitioned against the bill, Mr. SWIFT. who was rather quick in the affair, was told that his clients had no locus standi. The Committee, having considered these matters, agreed that Mr. RENDEL'S plans should be carried out in their integrity; that all disputes should be re ferred to arbitration, and not to the Board of Trade ; a limit is to be placed to the sums to be raised under the new bill. When the Committee next meet, and finally determine the character of the bill, we shall have more to say upon the subject. PROROGATION or PARLIAIIENT.—The Ministerial white bait dinner—in anticipation of the close of the session— will take place on Saturday next, at the Trafalgar, Green wich. The public business has so far advanced—in 'spite of needless obstructions—that the termination of the session may now be confidently looked for. Every effort will be made to bring the session to a close on Saturday, the 22nd instant, so as to enable her Majesty to prorogue Parliament in person, p evious to the departure of the Court for the north, which wi►l tacks place on Monday, the 24th instant, in the event of the session being over at the expected time. MR. BERTOL ICCI'S PETITION.—It was not difficult to foresee what would be the result of the labaurs of the Committee. There is no chance of each a thing as justice where dukes and earls are concerned or involved. There can be no doubt that there was much truth in the petition of Mr. Rertolacci; but that unfortunate gentleman labour ed under several mistakes, and has only now been put right. He actually imagined—poor simple fellow—that these big-wigs" real'y wanted their ace:unts of the Dutchy audited, and was honestly determined to " fulfil his mission" in a straightforward honest manner I Never was there such a inis`ake. All that was wanted was his signature, with the word Auditor attached. These great gentlemen who had an occasional slice out of the !anis of the Dutchy, or who wen in arrear of rent, never contemplated having the accounts looked into. Only think of how impudent it would be to lock into the aceoucts of a few dukes and earls The very idea of such a thing is sufllAent to send one to a mad-house.— -21Torth Briton. REPRESENTATIVE GOVBRNMENT IN VANC )lIVER,'S ISLAND —On the eve of a new Reform Bill some despatches received by the Colonial—office on the subject of the estab iishment of a Representative Assembly in Vancouver's Island will be read with interest. Mr. Labouchere in February, 1855, ordered that such an assembly should be convoked without loss of time, and in June following the Connell of the Island, presided over by the Governor, unanimously agreed that the ownership of £3OO, of freehold property or immovable estate should constitute the qualification of a member of the Assembly, that absentee proprietors should he permitted to vote by proxy, and that the qualification of voters should be the ownership of twenty acres of freehold land, or up_ wards. The settlements were to be divided into four electoral dist'iets. The House of Assembly was opened on the 12th of August last . , and the affair passed off very quietly. AM. llelmaker was elected " Speaker," and several " election pe'itions" were forthwith presented , one or two of them, as in England, being evidently of a very " frivolous and vexatious" character, merely got up for party purposes. The House of Assembly consists of seven members only, and of these three were petitioned spinet, leaving the Speaker and three members at liberty to act. One of the members petitioned against was un seated by a committee for want of a legal qualificatien. A repert is given of the business (principal/ fieaecial) hitherto transacted by the Assembly. PARLIAMENTARY SUITUARY OF THE WEEK.—The greater portion of the past week has been occupied by the House of Commons in diecussions on the Divorce and Probate Bills. In the case of the latter bill, the great contest was with the right of the proctors to receive compensation. The bill proferred by the Government did not propose to give any compensation, but provided for the continuance of the monopoly of the business in the new courts in the hands of the proctors. The Attorney-General, however, con sented, on cindition of the new courts being thrown open to general practitioner:, and the exclusive monopoly of the proctors ceasing, to give compensation to the annual amount of one half of such incomes for the remainder of their lives. The Divorce Bill has made but little progress. At first it was strongly opposed on the ground that marriage ought to be considered indissolable in all cases ; driven from this point, the same parties now complain of the bill because it does not render divorce accessible to all classes on terms as cheap as an or.linary suit in the county courts. The House, however, unanimously agree I that the county courts could not have jurisdiction in cases where divorce might be sought, and it has been left eviila Mr. Butt, who induced the House to negative the county courts, to provide the description of 1)cal court which shall have cognisance of such matters, out of London. A committee, consisting of all the members of the long robe, and the leading men on both sides of the house, was appointed to take into their consideration the construction of an act of parliament passed in the fifth year of the reign of William the Fourth, which aut'aoriscd Corporate and other bodies to make regulations as to the oaths required to be taken by their members. Tne question to be decided is, whether the words "other belies" include the House of Commons. If so, the house will have the power to make such alterations in the oaths required to be taken by mem bars as may admit of Baron Rothschild taking his seat without using the formula, " on the true faith of a Chris tian." The business in the House of Lords has been principally confined to passing through their several stages the minor bills which at this period of the session usually crowd into the Upper Meuse. No bill, will, however, be read a second time which may be sent up from the Com m ns afar the 7th ult. TilE INDIAN PcorLE.—The tribes and people of India have never enjoyed a peace and plenty in the remotest degree approaching to that which they have enjoyed under our government . . They were formerly a prey to every wild Afahratta chief and every avaricious Moham medan viceroy. They never knew in any year how muci of their rice would be sold and how much would be robbed. They never knew what would be extorted from them in the form of taxes, and wh , ,t in the form of Now they certainly know that a plentiful harvest implies plentiful payment—that they will find a ready sale for all their produce, and a ready payment for every sale,. They can count oa the Englishman's silver as readily as they could formerly count on the M4hratta sword. Year after year they find an increasing market for all the produce that they have hitherto pro duced, and a new market for produce they never sold before. And year after year their silver bracelets and armlets accumulate, and their buried treasures increase", and houses spring up for those who never possessed a house before—and all this they well know they owe to . British rule, without which no roads would render their produce accessible, and no authority protect them from the rapacity of the Amil or Chucklidar. We do not mean that this attachment to British rule is so strong in the feeble character of the flindoo as to be proof against all temporary excitement, if unfortunately the fall of Delhi should ha delayed. But we do mean that it is of that nature that we hare only to re-establish cur authority over the mutinous army at Bengal, to find in the whole Indian Peninsula a ready and hearty acquiescence in the fact of our supremacy, and in the jus tice as well as strength of our cause.—Economist. THE COURT, &c. OSBORNE, SATURDAY, AUOVST B.—The Queen and Prince Consort, their Imperial Majesties the Emperor and Em press of the French, and the various members of the royal family did not leave the grounds of Osborne this morning, but were occupied the greater part of the forenoon in walking in the immediate neighbourhood of the house. The unsettled state of the weather renders it uncertain whether her Majesty and her illustrious visitors will again embark on board the royal yacht this afternoon for a marine trip, or take a drive in the interior of the island. Yesterday afternoon the Queen and Prince Consort, with the Emperor and Empress, the Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, the Princess Alice, Prince Arthur, Princess Helena, and Prince Leopold, embarked on board the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, and steamed to the Needles The Count and Countess Walewski, the Princesse d'Esling, Lady Churchill, the Hon. Miss Byng, the Hon. Miss Cathcart, Lord Charles Fitz Roy, General Rclin, and Captain Du Plat were in attendance on their Majesties and the Queen. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Col. Tyr whitt, his Equelry in waiting, arrived yesterday from town, on a visit to her Majesty. The royal dinner party last evening included, in addition to the Emperor and Empress, and the members of the royal family, the Prince of Leiningen, the Count and Countess Walewski, Viscount Palmerston, Count Persigny, the Earl of Clarendon, the Baron de Malaret, Col. the Hon. C. B• and Mrs. Phipps, and the ladies and gentlemen in waiting on their Imperial Majesties, and on the Queen and Prince. A bell will be given this evening, to which many of the neighbouring nobility and gentry have had the honour of being invited. Viscount Palmerston and the Earl of Clarendon will take their departure for town on Monday. It is expected that the Emperor and Empress of the French will take leave of her Majesty on Monday evening. CONVERSITIONS AT OSBORNg.—" Private" and conjiden- tial—such are the special characteristics of the visit paid by Louis Napoleon to Osborne. We are assured that it will be only private —" such as one family pays to another." Strange family visits those, in which the whole of the estate is dotted with police ; for the Isle of Wight at present is placod in custody. Strange family visits which forbid all boats, on any pretext whatever, to near the place where the visitors are recreating themselves; strange visits in which foreign police are brought over especially to assist in guarding ail the land and sea approaches. It is quite impossible that any visitor whose safety it is thus neoessary to protect, as if the very blades of grass were to rise up and stab him, could he come, eat drink, and be merry, and have nothing to say for himself, but the ordinary common places of a country visit. —Leader. On Thursday morning the marriage of Lord Stormont, son of the Earl of Mansfield, and Miss M Gregor, daughter of Lady M'Gregor, was celebrated at St. James's Church, Piccadily, in the presence of a brilliant circle of the friends of loath parties. On leaving the church the party proceeded to the residence of the Duchess of Rutland, Clarps street, Piccadilly, where a grand breakfast was given. In the afternoon the newly married pair left town for Caen-wood, Hampsteal, the seat of the Esrl of Mansfield, to pass the honeymoon. The marriage of Lady Susan Harriet Lines Ker, oldest daughter of the Duke of Rozburghe, and Mr. James Grant Suttie, eldest son of Sir George Grant Static, of Preston Grange, was solemnised on Wednesday last, at St. Andrew's Episcopal chapel, Kelso, N.B. The Rev. William Kell, B.D , Rector . of Corsenside, assisted by the Rev. F.

The Theatre Royal was well filled, and looked as it has always done since its recent attractions—graceful, bright, and cheerful. Mr. Mathews appeared in three characters, " Aggravating Sam," Plumper in " Cool as a Cucumber," and Beeswing in " Twenty Minutes with a Tiger." The audience were enthusiastic in their applause, ,and at the conclusion of each 9iece Mr. Matthews was called before the curtain, Mr. Baker also received that full amount of warmly expressed appreciation which his great comic powers always delerve. Mr. Mathews, as has been alrerdy stated, will n'ot•again be seen by a Liverpool assembly, until after his visit to America has delighted the New World audi ences with that richest vain of genuine comedy, of which he is incomparably the most lavishly endowed possessor now living. MADAME RISTORI—This great actress will appear to nigh!, we need hardly remind our readers, at the Theatre Royal, as Bianca in " Fazio." Notwiths , anding the very high prices of admission, the house will no doubt be crowded. THE AMPH[THEATBE R. BARRY SDLLIVAN.—Mr. Barry Sullivan is an especial favourite in Liverpool, and we therefore we!come with no slight sat'sract'on his appearance in the Amphitheatre to-night: His p-aisea need not be spoken by us. It is enough to say of him that he has become popular without any of the stage arts and tricks, the postures and vocal efforts which too many performers seem to think indispensable aids to popularity. By care and study, by simplicity and natural expression, by graceful awl polished style, Mr. Sullivan has won as much the approbwion of large popular audiences as of smaller and more critical assemblies, and has shown that the gallery as well as the boxes can distinguish between hemline talent and showy pretension. Mr. Sullivan will appear to-night as Othello, and during the week will perform come of his most favourite characters. THE ATLANTIC CABLE. VALENTI.t, SATURDAY.--al Thursday morning, soon after the ships sailed for Newfoundland, and when at the distance of four miles from the landing place, an accident happened to the thickest shore-end of the cable, which became entangled with the machinery, and broke at that point. The ships' boats were engaged until the afternoon of yesterday (Friday) in underrunning the able from the shore to the place where it was broken, and there joined the two ends again. This operation has been most suc cessfully performed ; the joint is as perfect as any part (~f the cable, and the continuity and insulation of the whole length having been ascertained by the severest test, the squadron instantly set sail at about sunset on the evening of yesterday, and have kept up continued interc ,m se through the wire to the shore of Valentia since that time up to this hour (half-past nine) to-day. The ships are now twenty - two miles off. The weather beautiful. Sea calm.

THE " HOPE" DIVORCE CASE. d 9 Mr, and Mrs. Hope, after numerous legal proceedin, relative to their divorce and to the nossession of tbe it children, before the courts both of England and Fran ce, came, in March, 1855, to an arrangement that th ete youngest child, John Henry, should remain with g rg. Hope, and that the others, four in number, should t : their father, Mrs. Hope reserving to herself the privil e g e of seeing and corresponding with her children. 11/.8. Hope besides consented to abandon an applies' tion for divorce which she had made in Engla nd' and undertook not only to oppose but to promote tPt demand for divorce made by him against her in t b % country. On Wednesday, Mr. Hope applied to th ' Civil Tribunal at Paris, to order that the child in cl ues ; tion should be given up to him, and ho based his dern ail a on the ground that the Court of Chancery in England 10 decided that all the children should be placed under 1114 care, and that as the arrangement of March, 1855, was not legal, he was not bound by it. Mrs. Hope, in re#:, insisted tbat the interests of the child, who is 0111/ t en years of age, required that he should be left un det her care; and she represented that as her husband wa gs an Englishman, and as she by her marriage to him n 113 6„ be considered English also, a French tribunal had 0 " jurisdiction over them in such a matter. She also rePre; sented that if the arrangement of March, 1855, Wa s 11(3 „1 binding in law, there was nothing to prevent the triban'; from declaring that it was equitable, and that it 5 110 t ilt be acted on. Lastly, she urged that as Mr. Hope OOP, fit to live apart from her, and refuse to fulfil the dude °f husband towards her, though no separation betifeeil them had been pronounced in France, he was not war; ranted in insieing on exercising alone paternal power 011 0 all their children. The tribunal decided that as the parts : 0 are English, as Mr. Hope refused to receive his wife 111. 4 his house, though not legally separated from her, an d 1 :4 besides the interests of the child required that he ell °11 : 0 . remain with his mother, it (the tribunal) had no juri 9dl 4 t t ion in the:matter, and that Mr. Hope's application 11313 be dismissed with costs. ; gter A proj , ct for the canstrueion of a " IVestmal- io Palace Hotel" is among the new enterprises which I,!tf, proposed to cerry out on the principle of limited liakcitl:tep It is designed to establish a first-class hotel near NY e 1,6 minster Abbey, and immediately in connection with lot houses of Parliament, courts of justice, and Goveron le offices.
