bedroom and locked the door. I my dreedatrooni for
a moment, and ha hearing me, came in, blew out my light,

and lay on the floor. In the night he =me to the roam
whets he thought 1 wee, and tried to bunt the door open.
He need very bad language, and made such a disturbance
that 1 spoke to him. Whoa he found where I
was, be came to me and dashed me about till
my night dress was almost torn to pieces. Then he tore oft
what little there was left, and threw me over his head. I
became imensible, but when I recovered I found myself cm
the floor. He premed his thumb and finger on my breast so
violently that i was obliged to scream. He mid I ought to
have • knife in there—namely, where he bad primed me.
Next morning I found myself much brained. I Ina
lame for some time after that. Towards the end
of April while I was at sapper he threw the
chain at me, and pushed me violently against
the table. One Sunday in May, when he came to me, I
said I was glad be had done se, for I wanted my sapper.
He ad down quietly at first, bat he began to talk about the
earvant going next door, and flew into a passim'. Then he
took up a knife and threatened to do for me. I was very
meek alarmed, and rose from my chair. Then he threw the
knife at me, and it struck me across the bosom. Porta.
oately it was the lack which touched me, but it hurt me very
much. Then he ordered me to bed. As I was going ha
suns and dashed me up and down the stain. Next he held
me with one hand against the wall, with his fist uplifted
ready to strike me ; but my good and faithful servant inter-
fered and turned him from me to herself. H. took bold of
her, but he did not hurt her any further. Then he went
into the backyard, and we made our escape from the boa=
into • neighbour's. On the following day my husband wee
charged at the Lambeth police-court with assaulting me,
and he was bound over to keep the peace for six mouths.
In default of bail he was committed to prison, and I received
from him two letters which had been written for hint by
the schoolmates..
Gross-examined—Hancock had been in our service about
two years when I married him. I was living wish my bro-
ther. I have not a lugs property, bat I have enough to live
upon comfortably, with economy. It was settled on me
before the marriage. I did not ask Hancock to many me.
Dr. Spinkn—Do you mean, neither directly nor in&
redly
Witness—l don't know that lam obliged to answer =oh
questions, or whether it would be proper for me to do so.
The Judge—There would be no impropriety ; but I do
not see the relevancy of the question.
Witness—l did sot. He behaved as honourably to me as
any gentleman could have done. I married him for love ;
and in my opinion I did wisely, for I thought that I could
have made • different man of him. I did not keep a man
servant after we were married. My husband took care of
the pony and chaise for amosenant. He did complain that
I did not keep a groom ; bat he knew before we were mar.
tied that I could not afford to keep a man servant. He
complained that 1 wee too familiar with my ler-
vante, for he was jealous of everybody I spare to.
When he was in • pawl= he was fearful to behold—be
was not like a human being. He is not to be described ;
you most see him in a passion to form any idea of him.
Dr. Spinka—Oh, but I don't want. (Laughter.)
Witness —Whim I returned home after the first moan.
den I agreed to allow him ss. a week for pocket money,
bat 1 had not made him any regular allowance before.
When he threw the oow-heel at me be bad Jost come in,
and he found the pie open. He thought I had been out,
and be objected to my speaking to a servant, seeing a friend,
or taking a walk. t= the occasion of the first separation
I instructed Mr. Lane, an attorney, to write to the tarpon.
dent, proposing terms on which I would rotors. [These
tonne were rather peculiar, but did not refer to the nation.
dent's cruelty.]
James Hillyer, the schoolmaster at Horserommerlane
Gad, proved that he had written two letters produced at
the request of Hancock.
[The letters were reed. They were couched in pious
and nitest language ; and they earnestly entreated the
petitiaasr to let him out of prison.)
The petitioner was largely corroborated by several ser-
ves= and
Dr. Spinks gave up the &duos.
The jury having, therefore, found for the'petitioaer,
Sir O. Cromwell said the respondent had evidently got
into • habit of drinking, and had become • wild beast
rather than • man. There moat be a judicial separation as
"teed.

The sixth annual meeting of this company was
held at ens o'clock, at the London Tavern; the lion. J. S.
Worrmis in the chair.
The report of the directors sires that the confi-
dence of the board after five years' expense°, std examina-
tion, that the undertaking can be effectually armed out,
have induced them to advance from their pante ressonrcas
during the past year each sums as have Men n=is

order to keep intact the valuable privileges and
of the company, and to provide other expenses incidental to
the effort. now satisfactorily programing towards obtaining
the subscription of a new capital. The new capital referred
to 000aist. of a maximum nominal amount of 000,0001.,
divided into shares of five pounds each—one pound per
share of which is payable on allotment. It is guaranteed 8
per cent. per annum by the British government on the or-
pletion and during the working of the cable, and its isms
ti authorized by the extraordinary Ferrol meeting on the
IL'th of December last. While deeming it prudent, in order
to provide for every emergency, to obtain authority for the
whole 600,0001., guaranteed by go:remanent, the bread
believe that this amount will be is mom of the sum
actually needed to make and lay a suitable cable. With
that Mew they have therefore determined ea ornemsoing
the allotmeet of shams, is castormitY with theiriterroeue.
when the subscribed amount roaches 300,0001, having
reseon to believe that this will go far towards providing the
necessary cash expenditure for that purism. Marine
have lisle held in Liverpool, Manchester, and libedkad, and
the efforts of the tile/toes sad their friends hare ap to this
time resulted in obtaining subeeriptions front of the
very highest commercial steadiest sad kility, se
amount exceeding 200,0001. So soon as the subscoirkee
reach 300,0001. the allotment will be made, and a deposit of
or prod per share will be called ter as already detsi
When this is ecoompliebed the director feel the fullest
ccefitimas that serif ea additional amount be eventually
retwed, to make up the cost of manufactories and sub-
n>e a suitable cable, it will be middy provided for.
It is is eaetemplatioo to hold oseetawa for the promotion
of subscriptions in the greet centres of capital and oorci-
merce ; end from such and subsequent exans the dbec-
tors hope for satisfactory regatta. The directors have
thought it desirable to strengthen their poultice by inviting
the apastance of other gentlemen of influencer nariben of
the board, and accordingly they have, with the corer of
the following gentlemen, elected them mambas of the
directwo vie.:—Sir &easel Cunard, Bert., of the British
and North American Steam Packet Ooenpeay ; Sir William
Brown, Bart. (Mora. awn, Shipley, and Ca) ; and Mr.
Edward Cropper Mate a director of the Leedom and North-
Weirs% Railw Oluirey). As the directors' power to
elect only extends to rose member, and as they are pre-
vented from increasing the number of the boar kayoed
twelve, they propose at the forthcoming meeting to take
power to extend IMO member to eighteen, the number
allowed by act of after which they will Er

The motion having been carried unanimously,
The CHAIRMAN acquainted the court that the dividend
warrants would be delivered and paid on Monday, the 6th
of April amt.
On the question that the court be adjourned,
INCIZII6OII moved a vote of thanks to the directors.
Mr. LAWN:NCI Lzvr, in seconding the motion, said he
thought the time led anted when many of the present
regulations and adrietions should be reminded, with the
Theriot making that establishment esbenalleial to the Ko-
peiska of bank sleek as teeny of the surrounding establish-
ments were to the sbarehoblen. It would be WIWI
to compere their dividends with thane of other
beaks; but on the premed occasion the mentaat
was the more 'tondo/ from the fact that whilst
the dividends declared by the joint-stook banks up to the
end of last year comprised • period when money was un-
usually cheap, the Bank of England had bed the benefit
of money being for some time at 3,4, and 5 per mot. The
dividend now declared being paid on only 14,000,0004, and
not on the red, it was not equal to 31 per oast for the
half-year ; in fed, it was only about 31. Re thought
that • discretionary power should be vested in the diren
tore of accepting lower rake of interest than the minimum,
as the closing of the bank spinet the brokers and the dis-
count houses did • peen deal of harm. He also thought
they should be at liberty to lead money on. colonial and
A 1 foreign securities, of comes to unetheptional borrowed
and with • good margin. He had been informed that last
year a Lege Nom vas lest on aceepthoces which were refused
by discount horse, and he should be glad to hear acme
explanation. lastly, be 'meld pat it to the dinged
whether the banter to the voila( of Wens should ad be
removed, especially es the 3,000 proprietors included skeet
900 unprotected female.
The CHAIRIELIF, in reply, said there was a great dilemma
between that bank and other banks in the usametel sulpha
It took a large amount of profit to make as addlicsal
quarter per cent. on so large • capital as 14,500,0001.
The hon. proprietor is his comparison appeared to forget
that the capital of the banks to which he alluded in so case
exceeded 1,000,0001., while in many cease it was not more
them 500,00 W. (Hear, how.) As regarded the voting
of trusted, that was • legal question. Such per-
sons could not be allowed to vote unities par-
liament chose to altar the law. The quediss of
domain mosey on foreign or colonial securities required
of course • great deal of consideration, and he thought II
would be moth better to leave it to the oourt of directed
than to bring it before • meeting of the proprietors. There
was nothing in the by-laws to prevent them from doing
what wu suggeded ; but the dry drcumstance of their
stock having been opened to investauent by trustees, wade
it desirable that is tally thy step of that kid
they should be exceedingly cautious. He did not know
to what particular tom the honourable proprietor
referred. If then bed been any loss it must be very smell,
and he had just been Wormed by the deputy-governor

The Ciii.l3us..;,ininOVing the adoption of the report, said
there were two or three points on which be wished to give
a brief explanation. Siam Use last meeting the directon
had been exposed to some hostile action, and
even to avert Masks and ',relegations ; but that was
the fate of all persons who were engaged in • work of such
magnitude. It wee prompted in some cuss by adverse
interests, in others by • feeling of rivalry, and in
ethers, main, by the feeling of that sensitive clam of ammo
ailed inventors, who were apt to get excited if
their pleas were not adopted. Some blamed them
for idleness acd inaction; others thought they were not
going to do anything new. In neither ease were the aim-
*We well founded. The raising of so much
motley in the manner mentioned in the report showed
that there had been no irection, and the result
of the efforts made was the preservation of the
company's rights intact. Up to this time the
company hod entered iato ail engagement with any other
company, except the New York and Newfoundland Com-
pany. All that had been done was to ester into oommu.
niceties with a company of great eminence, with respect
to the laying down of the lose ; and the board would be glad
to receive offers from any other quarter. He then entered into
an explanation of the nature and extent of the company's
encloses rights, which he said embraced the whole coast
of Newfoundland. He then quoted legal authorities on
this subject. He added that after the oompeny's line had
been laid down, the government was to have the right to
give permarieZ to other companion to lay down a cable, bat
that that would not prevent them from readying the 8 per
cent guaranteed on the 600,0001. Xoreover, the subsidy of
the English governeosat had been sailed sines last year
from 14,0001. to 20,0001. • yeer ; so that from their own
government and the American government the total sub-
sidy would be 34,000/. (Cheers.) He then referred to the
objections made to the use of gotta perdue for the new
line, _instead of india /oblige. The directors were not

The CHAIIMAI said that was the last time be should have
the bower dappearing before the proprietors in the rapa-
city of governor. He was deeply sensible of the kindness
with whichhe Whom noivad bythe proprietors whenever
he had had occasion to address them. Tite poet of governor
was one of considerable anxiety, as every one who bed
occupied the chair for four years must feel; but oo the
other hand, it wee a high bosom to represent such large
interests. As an bumble director, he should continue to
do all in his power to advance the interests of the proprie-
tom. (Cheers.)

A CHILD PornoNthi BY LtraTin MArouth—Art
inquiry wan held by Mr. John Humphreys, one of the Mid-
digest coroners, at the Fountain Tavern, Jamthetrest,
-Bethnal-green, last night, relative to the death of Alice
Welker, aged two years, who expired on Saturday leek
under the following shocking circumstances :—Deceased was
die daughter of George Walker, looking-glace frame mann-
theturer, 8, James-street. A hip quantity of caste lueifer
matches were kept in a tub in the back garden, and de.
tensed got at them and sucked a number of them. She be-
came very ill, and, a strong odour of sulphur and phew
=in the room to which she ran, disclosed what had
ned. Dr. J. Massingbam was sent for, and he applied
Venous remedies bat without avail, and deceased died in
0,1111 agony, with all the symptoms of suffering from irri-
tant police. A verdict of " Accidental Death from auk-
fingikizifer matches," was returned.
"Luxe Time."—A penny daily paper, which
lately started in London with this title—started to " sup-
* • great want"—has not been pablislied this morning.
With it disappears an evening publication bearing the im-
posing title of the Beating Times.
Tan CH AMPIONBHIP. —A match has been made
between Ream and Kies forl,oool. sada Both men were
present, and 1001. a side was put down. The Sporting Life
mays :—" Heenan is still engaged with Howes and enable('
circus, but of his determination to fight we have no doubt.
King will be a match for him is height, size, and reach, and
the probability of the contest has already excited a vast
amount of interest in pugilistic circles. The belief has been
common since the memorable battle of Farnborough that
Heenan's bands had ' gone,' and that he would not venture
a fresh struggle, bat this now seems out of the question, as
the men who are at the back of the Benecia Boy woad ear-
taialy not, match him if such were the use. Hamm%
backers, it appears, are some gentlemen of the Stock En-
change and one or two well-known speculators on the I'urf.
It was agreed that they should fight for 1,0001. a side, ea
December 8, within 100 miles of London, and this named a
good deal of badinage, some of those present remarking that
it would be such an interesting and national affair, that they
mightfghtin the Green•park or Kensington-ward/es!"
A DIDOONTINTED MONK. —A trappiat monk,
named Bault, has just been triad at the Morbiken Court of
Anima for wilfully setting fire to the monastery of Tyme-
dem, of which he was an inmate, and by which a pan of
the building was destroyed, the lees being estimated at
100,000 f. Rauh was the son of a small farmer, and believ-
ing himself called to a monastic life, entered the above.
named religious house under the name of Father
Arsine. For some years he observed the rules of
the order. but from the year 1860 frequent infractions
of discipline on his part were remarked. rault then be-
came tired of a religious life, his Carnet for which was la-
erased by the constant surveillance to which he was sub-
jected in consequence of his transgressions, and he formed
the design of burning the convent and escaping; and is
order to avoid the amass= of the world, be determined
to have it believed that be lad perished in the llama.
That project Rand put into execution no the night al
the 2nd January lase by setting fire to some hay in
one of the lofts. The conflagration spread rapidly, and
Rai& succeeded in entering, by the window, a room in
which was a looked trunk castaieing some lay clothes • this
Ihe broke open, and having dressed himself, burnt his
I monastic dress and descending into the sacristy escaped um-
, observed and spread the report in the villages through
which he passed of his having lost hie life in the firs. Rauh
I was soon after arrested, and when interrupted, confessed
the crime. Extenuating eircumetanees were admitted, and
the accused was matesced to twenty years' hard labour.

The stock markets to-day are dull, and the
tendency is rather unfavourable, attention being
gannet exclusively directed to the new Confederate
Government Lees, with regard to which con-
'adorable excitement is observable, the
price having risen to to 6 per cent. preen. The
lists already full, and will be closed almost imme-
diately. The English funds are quoted about it
per cent, lower than they closed yesterday. Some
of the principal home railway stocks have likewise
given way. Foreign stocks remain very steady,
except in one or two instances.

in the scrip of the new Confederate Loan are to be

The following queries having been submitted by
the oontractors for the loan of 3,000,0001. to the
government of the Confederate States of America,
to Sir Hugh Cairns, Q.C., and Mr. Cotton, a copy
of their opinion is subjoined

1. Whether they (the contactors) could advertise die
loan as ► loan to the Confederate algal, upon hoods 'mated
by them, the amount of which is to be paid to the autho-
rities of the Confederate States, ar if you think that there
would be illegality in snob a proceeding then-
2. Whether there is soy legal objection to the offer by
the contractors to she British public of a portico of the
hoods in quell*, at a price sad on the terms to be stated
in the prospeotes.
3. Il you think the fast proposition to be open to legal
objection, do you °resider that the proems engaged in it
would be open to any, end if any, what proceedings.

1 and 3. We are of opinion that it will not be a violation
of any law of this country, or of any principle of interna-
tional law, to advertise the loan in this oountry is a loan to
the Confederate Stake, upon bonds the amount of which is
payable by those States.
2. We are of opinion that there is not any legal objection
to the contractors offering the bonds for *ale in England to
the public, at • price and on terms to be stated in • pro-
spectus.
Though our opinion is that there is no illegality In either
of the courses suggested, we think that, u • matter of dis-
cretion, it will be better to adopt the latter alternative.

The promoters of the " Seven per Cent. Cotton
Loan of the Confederate States of America " having
fortified themselves with the " opinion " of Sir
Hugh Cairns and Mr. Cotton, to the effect that
there is no illegality whatever in ',the transaction,
have now issued the prospectus. The loan is
for 3,000,0001. sterling, at 90 per cent The
interest is to be payable half-yearly in Lon-
don, Paris, Amsterdam, or Frankfort, Holders
are to have the option of either keeping the bonds,
subject to the contingency of their redemption at
100 under the sinking fund, (which being 5 per cent
annually, is to extinguish the whole in 20 years), or
of exchanging them for cotton, after 60 days' notice
to that effect to the government. The basis of this
exchange is to be at the valuation of 6d. per lb. for
"New Orleans middling" cotton, and it is expressly
stipulated that " the delivery will be made free of
all charges and duties, excepting the existing export
duty of ith of one cent, per lb." if the country be
at peace, the delivery is to take place at one of the
four chief porta of the South, or, if it be at war,
"at points in the interior of the country, within
ten miles of a railroad, or stream navigable
to the ocean." The option to take cotton
is to cease at the end of " six mouths
after the ratification of a treaty of peace
between the present belligerents." The con-
tractors will retain, out of the proceeds of the loan,
sufficient funds to pay the first two coupons. The
agents in London are Messrs. J. Henry Schroder
sad Co. _ _

Should the North subjugate the South, it is to I
be presumed that the holders of these bonds will
lose their money. Neither is it expected that,
under existing circnmatances, the loan will be ad-
mitted officially into the London Stock Exchange,
the belief being that it will be dealt in here in a
similar manner to Turkish Consolidds. These
objections, however, have not prevented the trans-
action from being regarded with a considerable
degree of speculative favour. The lists are to be
opened and closed simultaneously at London, Paris,
Amsterdam, and Frankfort, in all of which markets
the bonds will, it is believed, be dealt in.
It is understood that the matter of the proposed
Salvador Loan is to be held in abeyance pending
the receipt of more precise intelligence respecting
the threatened invasion of that elate by Gusto-
males
