Lord BROUGHAM presented nine petition. from &ye-
water, Bromley, Enfield, and various other places,
praying that measures may be taken to provide better
means for the educatioa of the children of the middle
alasseit. He said that there were efficient means for the
education of the humbler clew, the schools for whom were
placed under government inspection, bat there were Do
each means adopted with regard to children of the middle
clause.

Earl GR.CV VILLE said he entirely concurred with the
noble lord is what be said as to the importance of the ques-
tion. There was no doubt whatever that while great im-
proverouts had taken place in the schools for the lower
classes in the hat few years, those improvements had bees
practically ignored in the schools for the middle classes.
A machinery, however, had been devised by the univer-
sities which bad been of the greatest possible use in creating
competition among the larger middle schools, he meant
the system of competitive examination for degree. He
thought a system of inspection might be devised which
might be applied to such schools as were willing to place
themselves under it, and probably there would be no ob-
jection on the part of the schools to pay a small sum for
the inspection, so that the system might be self.eupportiog.

Lo France of this evening, in an article headed
" The State of Europe, " says :—" Everywhere
violence supersedes right, alliances are formed

these alliances possible. France has no ambitious
ideas, and will not concern herself with these im-
potent efforts of the reaction. She only sees with
sorrow that the great powers remain deaf to the
generous advice that they should go forward to
meet the formidable complications in which France
alone on the continent has nothing to fear, since
she eau hold aloof from them so long as her personal
interests and her honour am not menaced."

Mr. WARNER asked the Secretary of State for the

government as to the expenses of possible future wars ; or
whether, in the event of war with the natives, the

PARIS, Jou 23.

A report of the Minister of War has been pub-

fying the administration of Algeria.
The report says the insurrection was not only
caused by fanaticism, but still more by au un-
founded hope of surprising the vigilance of the
►uthorities, who were believed to be disarmed, be-
cause divided in their action.

The report, therefore, proposes to increase the

ing divisions, making the prefects subordinate to
them, and entrusting them with the administration
of the natives established beyond the limits of the

r. MASTERS. THE. QUEEN'S rnocron LYTERVOtiNG.
A SHAMEFUL CASK.
SO:icitor•General and lir. Spicks for the Queen's
Froetor.
1, May, 1862, a Mrs. Masters filed a petition for a dis-
solution of her marriage oo account of her husband's
idatery and cruelty. He denied the charges and pleaded
tt.,t .14 had herself committed adultery with a person
nanAd (barks Stanley Osborne. .At the hearing, however, he
g.,e no evideoce in support of this statement, and a decree
~, was pronounced • 'net him. In the meantime Osborne
had instituted p togs against his wife for adultery, and
she had also pleaded that he had committed adultery with
svo.e a‘nusii whose name was to her unknown. This led to
is I:trir,, and the Queen's Proctor ascertained that the
„,A„.O referred to was Mrs. Masters. It was also found
that though in her petition she had described herself
01 No. 27, Prince's-street, Edgware.road, and had
r,r,,,,.;ed that there had been no issue of the marriage,
5te1....1 in fact bad a child ; and had never lived at the
alikoisbe bad given. It was also discovered that she was
at No. 7, the Priory, Kilburn, in open adultery with
o,lsorne. The Queen's Proctor tiled affidavits in proof of
these facts ; but the petitioner denied them upon oath.
N,,ertbeless she did not now offer to resist
the averments of the Queen's Proctor. The case was
alt..gether, the Solicitor. t;eneral observed, a gross imposi-
t• c upon the court, and one that strongly illustrated the
escessity of the law which gave the Queen's Proctor power
to intervene.
Forth,' proof of the above was now given ; and one of
the •ituesses stated that when he served Mrs. Masters with
the citation, she hit bin a smart slap on the face, and
threw the document away. (Laughter.)
.1. P. Wilde agreed with the Solicitor-General that the
suit was a must gross imposition upon the court. It was
not. be feared, the first ease of the kind, and he feared it
wcald not be the last, for the court was wholly powerless if
respondents would not come forward and verify the facts
that were within their knowledge. The worst part of the
case, however, was the attempted fraud upon the court.
The petitiocer had had the impudence to deny on oath the
averments. of the Queen's Proctor ; and he trusted that the
Solicitor.t.;eneral would not let the natter rest here.
The iury having found for the Queen's Proctor,
Sir.f. P. Wilde directed the decree nisi to be reversed,
and the petition to be dismissed.

The ease excited unusual interest, and the court WY

Mr. Griffin, the solicitor, appeared for the complainant,
sad Mr. Wilson for the defendant.
The evidence, which was very voluminous, went to prove
that is the year 1862 the deceased was a pauper iocnate of

that district to Messrs. Hewitt and Co., the extensive
smackownere of Barking, Essex. In the month of De-

which was not doe* to the satisfaction of the de-
timidant, when he struck deceased across the tempts with
• red-hot piece of iron which he (defendant) held in his
right hand. The defendant expressed great cootrition at the
time tor what he had done, and said be was " very sorry."
The deceased was removed to the London Hospital when
he reached the river Thames, and had line. died in that
institution, as alleged, from the mprtal effects of the injuries.

THE WAR DT ASHANTRF.

whether it was true that war bad been tonamenced with
Agents* ; whether precautions had been taken to Inset
the drain of life which must mune in so deadly a carnpaigys,
and whether a largely Massa* expenditure might be looked
for in otheequenos in the Gold Coast °okay.
Mr. CARD WELL said it would probably be in the know-
ledge of the house that in the course of last year a war
commeoced between the Sing of Agnates sad a friendly
tribe adjoining our settlements on the Gold Conk arigag
out of an unprovoked incursion of the Agnates@ into that
cosatry, attended with great ravages and Ice, of lite and
property. The operations which were now going on arose
out of a continuance of the hostilities of last year, or rather

every precaution had been taken to supply him with
all necessaries calculated to ensure the health end

HANOVER, MAT 10.

In to-day's sitting of the Upper House a debate
took place upon the resolution of the Chamber of
Deputies relative to the policy of Count Platen.
The Minister of the Interior declined to give any
explanations on the subject. The one-sided action
of Hanover in the succession question in the Duchies
was disapproved of by the house. The minister
then read the explanation of count Platen, which
asserts that the reports of the British envoy to
Earl Russell were incomplete. The minister stated
that the reports in question did not contain Count
Platen's defence of German rights, and the expres.
siou of his conviction that the separation of the
Duchies from Denmark was necessary.
The debate is adjourned till to-morrow.

THE FRENCH BUDGET.-SPEECH OF M.
BERRYER.

PAULL% MAY 10.

In to-day's sitting of the Corps Legialatif, M.
Berryer reproached the members who had defended
the policy of the government, for their retrospec-
tive strictures upon the parliamentary system, and
said :—" Revolution never cost so dear as the om-
nipotence of a single man. Among other services
the restoration rendered was that of relieving us of
the latter system."
M. Rouher here interrupted M. Berryer by say-
ing that the restoration was brought about by the
foreigner, and fell under the contempt of the
people.

The President of the Chamber observed that
both systems had their faults and misfortunes,
and that it was best to confine oneself to the pre-
sent state of things.
M. Berryer then continued his speech, and
principally censured the want of good measures for
the reduction of the public debt and the Mexican
expedition. Bespoke in favour of a peace policy,
and demanded the reduction of the effective home
force to 250,000 men, which would allow of order
being restored to the finances, and would ensure
peace and liberty.

stand charged with having placed before the shareholders
and members of the Unity Bank a false balance-sbeet with
intent to deceive and defraud them, were on Saturday again
placed at the bar at the Mansion-house. The
defendants, it will be remembered, were remanded
formally until Saturday, it being understood that
they should in the meantime furnish Mr. Lewis with
the name. of their bail, and that they would be brought up
merely for the purpose of putting in bed, and to be re.
manded timid a future day, when the inquiry will be re-
seined. Mr. Wontner, on behalf of Berth, said be was
prepared with two gentlemen of high position, who, having
been sworn, had the usual questions Put to them, and were
accepted. Mr. Lewis having no objection to either. On the
part of the other defendant, Terry, Mr. Wataon, his solicitor,
said he was also prepared with two gentlemen who would
become bad for his client. Mr. Lewis, however, said be
very strongly objected to one of the gentlemen who had
come forward on the part of Terry, and he must ask that
another might be found in hie steal Mr. Watson said be
was not them prepared with another, and Terry was there-
fore again remanded until Monday, to give him an oppor-
tunity of putting in bad.

stated that the prosecution against the defendants, Joseph
Waketeld Terry and Thome Burch was carried on by the
liquidators of the London and Middlesex Bank. It should
have been, " the prosecution was carried on by the
ligui-
dators of the Unity Bank."

The evidence which continues to be given before
the Belfast Commission is of a piece with the testimony of
the previous witnesses, the substance of whose opinions se
to the necessity for altering the constitution of the police
force has been already reported. The prevailing suggestion
is that the Belfast police force should be placed, not under
local but under government control, and that etipeniliary
magistrates ought to be appointed. In the comes of Satur-
day's proceedings, Mr. Isaac Murphy, who had discharged
seine of his mill workers because they had come to give evi-
dence, consented to take back the girls, on the friendly sug-
gestion of Mr. Barry, one of the commissioners; but Mr.
Murphy at the same time protested his resolve not to allow
his workpeople to appear as witnesses, lest it might renew
among them the bad feeling from which his firm bad suf-
fered so much on former occasions.

brothers, one called Walter and the other Wiliam.
The summons was taken out in the name of
Walter, and addressed to his residence, where

mid that was not his debtor. He then asked for an &d-
-r° urnment, and took out • subpuna doors tecum a4iiicst
William, and on his appearing on the second occasion, the
plaintiff said he was the man he intended to sue. In an,wer
to the judge, William said he owed the money, but
he had • set off, and declined to be made the
defendant in the suit. The learned judge said that coless
he consented he could not make him the defendant in
the suit, and consequently the plaintiff must bring a fresh

judge would make the order of payment against Wiliam
upon the plaint against Walter, he would take it ; atia thu
