CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.
(Before Baron Bramwell and the Recorder.)
(Continued from yesterday's Express.)
Albert Hirschman, 26, German, described as • merchant,
was charged, under the Bankruptcy Act, with unlawfully
obtaining goods within three months of his bankruptcy,
with intent to defraud his creditors, and also with disposing
of property shortly before his bankruptcy with the like in-
tent.
The learned Judge in summing up drew the attention of
the jury to the different sections of the act under which the
' prisoner was indicted, and said it appeared to him that the
question which remained foe them to consider was not whe.
Cher the prisoner had been trading in a reckless manner, but
whether he had purchased the goods under • Isles colour and
pretence, with the intent of defrauding his creditors and
putting the money into the hands of his uncle with • view
of wiping off a debt which it was said was • sham. If
they were satisfied of this then the prisoner had rem-
dared himself liable under the act. Ou the other hand, if they
ware of opinion that the prisoner had only been trading in
• reckless manner, that was not, however wrong it might
be in • moral point of view, an illegal act. He then pro-
(seeded to comment upon the evidence generally, and drew
the attention of the jury to the principal points, and con-
cluded by warning. them not to construe a reckless and im-
provident trading into a criminal offence.
The jury then retired, and after a short absence they
returned sad found the prisoner Guilty on all the counts
except those withdrawn.
Mr. Sleigh Liked his lordship if he would reserve the
points which had been raised.
His lordship said, " Certainly not," and in passing sentence
upon the prisoner, remarked that he thought the jury had
very properly convicted the prisoner, and he thought the
case wee one of great enormity. He sentenced the prisoner
to two years' imprisonment with hard labour.

THE BELGIAN ELECTIONS.

MOM OCR OWN COIMESPONDINT.)

BRUSSRIA Joss 10.

The general elections for the two houses of the
Belgian Parliament took place yesterday, and on
the whole was not very satisfactory.
The government lost 6 votes in the Chamber of
Representatives and gained 3 in the Senate. The
ministerial majority, which was of 67 to 49 in the
Lower Chamber before the elections, is now 61 to 55.
In the Senate it was 30 to 28, and is at present 33
to' 5.

The principal member of the cabinet, M. Rogier,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, was beaten in the
small borough of Dinant, after having given up his
seat for Antwerp on account of the fortification
question. In the commercial metropolis, the anti-
ministerial movement overthrew the five liberal
members, whose places have been taken by five
catholics and radicals, among whom is Colonel
Hayes, a personal friend of the Minister of War.
In Bruges, one of the senior members of the
liberal party, M. Bevan.; fell a victim to the
bishop, the wildest fanatic among the Belgian
clergy. On the whole the government are placed
' in the most delicate position.
Must they retire, possessing a majority, however
small ?

--- •
Can they continue to govern with a majority of
six members ?

Will the catholics dare to risk a dissolution in
the present circumstances
King Leopold will probably decide, and a cabinet
council will be held within a few days for this
purpose.
His Majesty, for the moment, seems greatly
relieved. Re was operated upon yesterday by an
English surgeon, Dr. Thompson, and feels much
better. The Duke of Brabant returned from his
journey iu the south of Europe in good health and
spirits. The Prince, however, intends to leave

Tas Pitzvvrazz Larertwo.—A letter written by
Captain Dyer, of the @hip Bate Dyer, which arrived at
Antwerp on the Bth instant, states that the vessel was cap-
tured by the bargee Lapwing, but ultimately released on
giving a hood for 40,000 dole. At the time of the capture
the Kate Dyer was on her voyage from Callao to Aotwerp.
The Lapwing is described as a very fine looking bargee,
mounting eight guns, and manned by a crew of about forty
men. The new cruiser formerly belonged to Boston, and
was captured by the privateer Florida on the 27th March

GREAT ABSTRACTION OF GOVERNMENT
FUNDS BY THE NATIONAL COMMIT-
TEE.

BERLIN, Jugs 12:

Private letters received here from Warsaw to-day
state that the Commissioners of the Exchequer,
upon examining the government treasury in that
city, discovered that Russian bank notes, Polish
Bonds, and gold half-imperials, to the amount of
5,000,000 silver roubles, had been abstracted. In
their place was left a receipt signed by the national
government.
Four officials, and the books in which the num-
bers of the missing bonds were entered, had also
disappeared.
It is said that all the telegraphic lines leading
from Warsaw have been destroyed.

LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.)

This morning a Wharneliffe meeting of this com-
pany was hekl at the Etudoeoquare station, for the purpose
of considering a bill for authorising a lame of the under-
taking of the company of proprietors of the Lancaster Canal
Navigation to the Landon and North Western Railway
Company, and for other purpose* ; Mr. DIAN in the chair.
The DFILLIULAN mid he had to apologia, to those
present for the trouble given them in coming to
the =amiss, but it was a matter which did not
depend upon the directors or upon the secretary of
the company. The bill had reference to the Lancaster and
Carlisle matters. The preamble bad bean proved, bet the
clauses had not yet been settled, therefore he proposed that
the meeting be adjourned for the further consideration of
the bill until the 185th of June. .

Areaol;i4On in accordance with the chairman's sug-
gestion was carried, sad the proceediup terminated.

MIMI= 0. MIMES AND BIRAIDOIL
This case came before the court on an appeal in the form
of a prohibition to the Judge Ordinary of the Divorce
Court to prevent his going further and making the decree
nisi in this case absolute for adi solution of the marriage.
Mr. and Mrs. Forster were the children of British subjects
domiciled in India ; they wen born there, and were married
according to the rites and ceremonies of the established
church of England in India, and came to this country for
the purpose of educating their children for the first time
in 1854. He afterwards returned 0 lodia, leaving Mrs.
Fonter here • and he again came to this country io 1861,
after the alleged adultery, in order to iltSejro-
medlar against his wife and the co- eat
in the Divorce Court. The adultery was oommi during
the interval Mrs. nester was left in England alone with
her children. The wife appeared to the suit, and the Judge
Ordinary overruled all subsequent objections to the tuns.
diction, both on behalf of the respondent end co-rewondeat.
Mr. Graham, a friend of the 00-reapoodent'e, also applied to
be allowed to intervene, to order to raise the question ; but
the Judge Ordinary decided against him. The came was
tried, and a verdict found for the petitioner, and a decree
nisi was granted for a divorce and a dissolution of the mar-
riage. Mr. Coleridge subsequent) y obtaioed a rule on the
groped that the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes
Act only transferred to the new court the juris-
diction of the old Frelanutical Courts, and that
jurisdiction was limited to England. The proper course
to pursue in this case, it was urged, was to institute
lop la la India for crim. con., and then apply to the House of
Lords, as was done under the old intern.
Mr. Lush, Q.C., Dr. Deane, sod Mr. Gibbons showed
cause against the rule; Mr. Coleridge,. Q.C., Mr. Mellish,
Q.C., Mr. Willoughby, and Dr. Tristram, supported the
rale.
After hearing the lengthened arguments of counsel, which
were purely legal,
The Lord Chief Justice said the court was not called upon
to decide on the question of oicety and perplexity with regard
to the gentian of dissolution of marriage, but to dispose of
the ease upon much narrower grounds. The co-respondent
io this case was called upon to pay the coats of the wife in
resisting the suit, and in other respects he was not aggrieved.
The suit was one that could have been brought against him
either alone or as a co-respondent, and there was no reason
to say that if the suit was dismissed against the wife, it
might not have been sustained against the co-respondent.
If he felt aggrieved, there was an appeal pointed out to the
House of Lords, instead of by prohibition, and to that court
be must apply for redress. This court would not interfere.
The rule therefore must be discharged with costs.
Mule discharged accordingly.

INDIA.

The South Eastern Railway line toCannington, on
the MutLab, was advertised to be opened for public
traffic on the 16th of May, subject, however, to the
sanction of the consulting engineer to government.
At Calcutta, a requisition to the sheriff was in
course of signature, calling upon him to convene a
public meeting for the purpose of adopting congra-
tulatory addresses to the Queen and the Prince and
Princess of wales. _ _ _

The Viceroy and Commander-in-Chief were still
at Simla,whenoe there was no news of importance to
record.

On the afternoon of the 7th May • numerous
audience was gathered together in the hall of the
Chamber of Commerce of Calcutta, to hear a
lecture by Sir Arthur Cotton, on works of irriga-
tion and navigation. The lecturer chiefly insisted
on the necessity of appointing public works com-
missioners with powers to raise funds for prose-
cuting remunerative public works, and who shall
be accountable for their appropriation to the
purposes for which they were professedly obtained.

Something like a mania for limited liability com-
panies is said to be prevailing in Calcutta. The
Surkaru says upon this subject :

We venture to resume our strictures on the limited
liability mania. The importance of the subject must be
our excess. Too much is at stake to permit the folly to go
on unchallenged ; and it is surely better to speak out boldly
now and nip the evil in the bud, than to delay all notice till
a few designing stock-jobbers have secured their premiums,
and the credulous multitude finds itself duped and ruined.
The good name and reputation of our community, besides,
are in question, and it is but right that it should empha-
tically repudiate complicity with practices which, we repeat,
are alike disgraceful and diabonest.

JAPAN.

From Japan we learn that her Majesty's Chargd
d'Affaires had addressed the Tycoon on the subject
of the two last outrages upon foreigners, viz., the
attack upon the British Legation on the 20th of
June last, when two of the guard from her Ma-
jesty's ship Renard were murdered; and the as-
sassination of Mr. Richardson on the Tokaido last
September. For these outrages her Majesty's
Cbargd d'Affaires, Colonel Neale, demands repara-
tion. The full details of his demands have not been
made public, but the principal material clauses
of the ultimatum comprise "the trial and
capital execution of the murderers of Mr.
Richardson, a heavy pecuniary penalty on
Japan for that offence, and a considerable
compensation for the sufferers or their surviving
relatives." Should Colonel Neale's demands not
be complied with in the precise terms laid down in
this ultimatum, he reserves to himself the right of
adopting coercive measures of a nature and dura-
tion "proportioned to the degree of ill-advised
obstinacy or resistance which the Japanese go-
vernment may assume." In order to give weight
to these demands on the part of the English au-
thorities, a fleet was stationed in the harbour at
Yokohama, under the command of Admiral
Kuper, consisting of the Euryalus, Pearl, Argus,
Centaur, Rattler, and Racehorse, with gunboats
Havoc and Kestrel ; these were shortly to be joined
by her Majesty's ships Ringdove, Encounter,
Scout, and Coromandel, along with the gunboat
Helper, with coals and stores. Two Dutch and
two French vessels of war were also present with
the English fleet. The Perseus and Leopard were
iu Hong Kong Harbour, and would probably join
the admiral's fleet as soon as they could be got
ready. The ultimatum was sent in on the 6th of
April, and twenty days allowed for its being astir
factorily replied to. The latest dates from Yoko-
hama are to the 15th of April, up to which
time no reply had been received. The Tycoon,
however, had previously left for Ifialto
(March 23), and the ultimatum had been
sent after him to the capital. The Mayor of Kane-
gawa is said to have expressed himself, in a com-
munication to the admiral, to the effect that the
Tycoon's government was not strong enough to
arrest and punish Shimadzoo Saburo, father of
Prince Satsuma : this was one of the murderers of
Richardson, and it will be recollected that the
Tycoon then expressed his comparative helpless-
ness in the ease. In the present emergency it is
alleged that the Mayor of Kanagawa hes suggested
that satisfaction should be taken from the Prince
of Satsuma himself, by the seizure of the Loo Choo
Islands, which are his property, and yield a revenue
of half a *million sterling per annum.
