LAW INTELLIGENCE.

(TEM DAY.)

IEQUITY COURT.
(Mom Vim-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood.)
DOTKII O. UDALL
This case raised a point of internatiorod law taming .4
the will of the testator in the MEIN ; but is the view Minn
the Vice-Chancellor took the question was not decided. Ths
testator by his will bequeathed certain property to a inln,
tire who had been married in Frain, after having 'cad s
child by his wife, sod which child was declared to be leo,
timed' in amordaooe with French law, and to the Mildren
of that relative; sod the question WIN whether the 604
born before marriage was to be considered as one of the
ohm.
The Vice-Chancellor said that, after all, the question in
this case was decided by the terrosof the will itself, nem the
true cosatroetioe of which it appeared clear to his Homo:
that those children only which, according to English lir,
came within that term—i. e., children born after the mat:
riege—were included, and the declaration of the court would
go accordingly.

SOUTHWARK.

Ellen Mark was charged before Mr. Bambara with
stealing two rings, a silk neck-tie, and 355. in silver coin,
the goc de and money? of Jobs Donovan.

The prosecutor, :rhose occupation is that of a potnim,
deposed that after be bad finished his Wrenn at the house
of Lis employer, and was on his way home, he fell in with
the prisoner, who bled him to accompany her to her
home, as she described it, but which turned out to he a
brothel of the lowest elms. The prosecutor, beteg very tired,
threw himself on the bed with his clothes on, except his
coat, and soon fell asleep. He did not awake until nice
o'clock the following morning, when he fond himself
alone, the woman having absconded, and, to his dismay,
taken with her the whole of his money, 31M.,
the necktie from his throat, and two rings from
his finger. He went in pursuit of the primmer, and
found her at a public-house in Bermondmry, where she said
she would return him the missiog money, and be allowed
her to leave for the purpose of getting it. As, however, she'
did not return, he went up stairs to the room which it ap-
pears her father occupied, and in which the prisoner had
locked herself. The aid of a constable was obtained, the
door of the room forced open, and the prisoner found there
concealed. She was at once given into custody on this
I charge and conveyed to the police-station, where, with the
' utmost effrontery, she protested her innocence, and declared
that she had never before sat eyes" upon the prosecutor,
who was an satire stranger to her.
police-constable George Moore, 132 M, corroborated the
latter part of tie prosecutor's teetimmy.
The prisoner now repeatrd her protestations of innocence,
asserting that she bad never seen the prosecutor until he
gave her in custody. Sbe was not guilty, and .gould go to
the motions, and not have the matter settled there.
Mr. Burcbam said that being so be should commit the
prisoner for trial at tits next Surrey lessimas.

THE WINKING VIRGIN OF VICOVARO.

A letter from Rome of August 28 says that the
extraordinary success of this miracle has so " o'er-
leapt " itself as to have led to a quarrel about the
plunder between a priest and a bishop which bids
fair to bring the miracle itself into disrepute. The
receipts of the church of Vicovaro since the
Madonna took to winking in it have been on an
average 3,000 crowns (about 6001.) a week. The
Bishop of Tivoli, in whose diocese the church is,
put in a claim for a share of this sum, but
this claim was resisted by the curd. The latter
seems to have the law on his side, for the bishop,
in despair of getting any money, now gives out
that he has never seen the image wink ita eyes, and
that he doubts whether it does.

THE FRENCH BISHOPS AND K RENAN.

The deluge of episcopal charges has not ceased to
pour down on M. Renan and his book, "La Vie
de Jesus." Cardinal Bonnet cautions his flock
against its vain philosophy and misguiding
arguments. The Bishop of Algiers is even
lees conciliatory. He stigmatises this " age of
toleration and of doctrinal effeminacy." He charac-
terises AL Henan as a cold, indecent, and frivolous
blasphemer, and his work as the " most despicable
and impotently impious" that ever appeared. He
condemns it as being full of propositions, rash,
false, erroneous, heretical, impious, scandalous,
sacrilegious, and accursed. He forbids the faith-
ful who are under his episcopal jurisdiction to sell,
to buy, to read, to lend, or even to keep the work,
and calls upon all who have read the "abominable
book" to make amends.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

Oa= oua OWN

PARIS, PILIDAY RVIIMM.

The Patric throws cold water upon the assertions
of the Francs and the Pays that K Billault is
about to make important disclosures in the Senate
with regard to reforms in Poland. The petitions, it
says, have scarcely been examined as yet, and it is
not even settled who will speak on behalf of the
government when the debate shall come on. Never-
theless, the Prance repeats that M. Billault is
already commissioned to speak on the occasion, and
adds that he will read important diplomatic cor-
respondence with St. Petersburg, London, and
Vienna, all of which, of course, will serve to de-
monstrate "the wisdom and firmness of French
policy." _ . _

The same journal says that Austria and England
have adhered by separate declarations to the sugges-
tions of France in favour of liberal institutions for
Poland. A cabinet courier, who left St. Petersburg
on March 2 with important despatches, is expected
in Paris shortly.
The Bourse has been heavy. The insolent tone
of the Prussian Monikur, and the adjournment of
the discussion on Poland in the Senate, create un-
easiness. Rente fell 36c., and Mobilier 30fr.
It is understood that Prince Napoleon spoke in
the Council of State against the draft sestatus cow-
sultum for the rr►organisation of Algeria, and that
some amendments in the project will be made pur-
suant to his suggestions. Nevertheless, the Em-
peror's original proposal will be maintained in its
essential principles.
The report that MM. Thiers and Dufaure will
be candidates for the Corps Legislatif at the gene..
ral elections is revived. A meeting of several
political notabilities who have not hitherto recog-
nised the empire is said to have been lately held, at
which, alter a warm disctission,the policy of absten-
tion was condemned by a majority, and, in con-
sequence, not only the two eminent men above
mentioned, but several of their political friends
will come forward. M. Thiera is expected to stand
for Valenciennes and M. Dufaure for Paris.

The new Spanish ministry is looked upon favour-
ably by the French Court, because the Marquis as
Miraflores (the Premier) and General Concha
spoke vehemently in the recent debate against
General Prim, for having abandoned the French
in Mexico.

GRAVEZEND. SATURDAY MORNING.

Gravesend, as the place of debarkation, could not
fail to be a point of immense interest to the metro-
polis as well as to the district in which it issituated;
and no one who had seen it yesterday
could doubt that it was deeply sensible of the
honour about to be conferred upon it. The whole
town was alive with preparation, and if London has
astonished foreigners for some time past by the
intensity of its interest in the arrival of
the illustrious Princess, their wonder would
certainly have been rather increased than
diminished by observing the loyal and ar-
dent bustle of the town chosen for the landing.
For several days before the hotels and lodging-
houses were inundated with applications from distant
places for accommoilation, and the price of beds
rose in proportion, though the railway facilities
afforded to Kent for rapid transit are now of the
most satisfactory description.
The scene in Gravesend last night was indeed
one which has never been paralleled in the,
history of the town, the nearest approach
to it being, perhaps, the farewell demon-
stration on the occasion of the departure of the

Mr. B. COCHRANE agreed to postpone hie motion upon

NOTICE OF MOTION.

Sir H. WILLOUGHBY gave notice that on going into

Home Department if a convict of the names of William
Stuart Farqultareou, alias Frederick William Stuart, who
was tried on the 13th day of July, 1857, at Oxford,
and sentenced to 12 years penal servitude, was still at
Bermuda, and if not there, what had become of him?

they arrived yesterday evening shortly after five
o'clock.

The Opinione of to-day mentions the rumour of
the Italian government having contracted a loan
with Meagre. Rothschild in Paris, and says :—"The
Finance Minister will probably make a declaration
on this subject, but we do not think it likely that
the government intends to set aside public sub-
scriptions for covering a portion of the loan. By
so aoing it would show an unjustifiable distrust of
thei oountry. On the other hand, the country
should not be wearied by efforts to draw from it
more than it can afford." In conclusion, the
Opinion expresles a belief that negotiations with a
banking firm will be combined with public sub-
scriptions.
