EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, FISEDAY EVINING.

The paragraph in yesterday's ifoniteur, stating
that the Emperor would not go to Cherbourg, was
sent by telegraph from Vichy, and is supposed to
have been written in consequence of Lord Palmer-
ston's declaration in the House of Commons that
England was under no engagements with France
binding her to go to war. It is certain that the
maritime-prefect of Cherbourg fully expected the
Emperor for a naval review, and had made great
preparations to receive him.
The Petrie, replying to a rebuke which the
Constitution/id affects to administer for its war-
like article the other day, says, justly
enough, that there is no substantial difference be-
tween them, The Patrie is for " action," and the
Congitutionthel for " firmness." Does not the one
word mean the same thing as the other, supposing
Russia should refuse to do what is asked of her

M. Drouyn de Lhuys was sent for by the Empress
this morning, and had the honour of breakfasting
with her Majesty at St. Cloud.
The Empress is going to give a night fete to-
morrow at Villeneuve l'Etang. 120 invitations are
issued. The amusements will consist of forest
promenades in chars-b•banc, boating on the lake,
and fireworks, the whole to conclude with a supper
Pat St. Cloud at 2 in the morning.

M. de Romeuf, who was killed by the carriage
accident at St. Cloud, was the nephew of Count
de Romeuf, the deputy. The coachman died this
morning. Mdlle. Augustine Brohan has merely a
alight contusion of the knee, and it now in other
respects quite well. Kde Costd, whose shoulder
was dislocated, is not in any danger.
The Bourse is very dull. Rente fell sc. and
Mobilier 12fr. 50c. The Southern Railway fell
Bfr. 75c., and the other lines 2fr. or 3fr.
The one black spot, observes the France, in the
returns just published by the ministry of justice,
is the increasing number of bankruptcies. In
1861, to the end of which year these returns come
down, the number of new bankruptcies was 4,862,
being 821 more than in 1860.

THE LATE BARON STOCKMAR.—A telegraphic
despatch yesterday announced the death, at Coburg, in M.
77th year, of Baron Stockmar, the earliest and most devoted
friend of her Majesty. Baron Stockmar bad been a faithful
attendant and companion of Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg,
even before the marriage of his royal highness with the
Princess Charlotte ; and when his establishment wee formed
in England Baron Stockmar was appointed controller of
the household. He continued the friend of Prince
Leopold after be accepted the throne of Belgium, though he
was no longer in attendance on him, and at intervals he
weed much of his time in England, where he enjoyed the
confidence of the Duchess of Kent to an unlimited extent.
In these days of her early childhood the Queen's friendship
' for, and confidence in, Baron Stockmar began, and continued
without interruption to the present moment. Before the
marriage of Prince Albert with the Queen his royal high-
ness employed the autumn of 1838-39 in a tour in
Italy, and Brea Stockmar was requested by the King
of the Belgians to accompany his royal highness upon
this journey, and for no one did the lamented Prince
entertain greater regard and esteem throughout his life.
For many years be passed a very large portion of his time in
England, living at the palace, as the dearly valued friend of
the Queen and Prince, and even when last at Coburg he paid
daily visits to the Queen, and it may be supposed her Ma-
jesty derived much consolation from these oonversations
with one who had so intimately known her beloved hus-
band. An attack of paralysis upon the 6th warned has
friends that the separation, for which his rapidly increasing
weakness had prepared them, was at hand, and at 3 o'clock
iu the morning of the 9th inst. he sank to rest. His loss
will be deeply mourned by the Queen, and will, wo fear,
add to her sorrow and affliction. Her ajesty had, doubt-
less, looked forward with satisfaction to seeing him again on
her approaching visit to Coburg.—Tines.
ILLNESS OF MAJOR POWYS RECIL—We (Leicester-
shire lifercurs) regret to announce the serious illness of
Major Powys Heck. On Sunday last, be visited Leicester
for the purpose of attending a service which was to be held
in St. Martin's Church, on behalf of the funds of the
Infirmary. He walked from his residence at Stoughton to
Leicester and back, and the result of the exertion (the
distance being about three miles each way) as well as the
sultry atmoaphere and the fatigue consequently induced,
was that he became suddenly indisposed. Dr. Shaw and
Mr. Benfield were summoned to attend upon the major,
who during the last few days has been in a precarious
state. Lord and Lady Howe, we believe, have also been in
attendance, the latter constantly and the former frequently.
The report of the major's health yesterday (Friday) was
extremely unfavourable.
CRYSTAL PALACE.—Mr. Thalberg will give his
farewell recital this day, and play five of his mut popular
compositions. Mdlle. Carlotta Patti will take part in the
concert, which will be held in the Handel Orchestra, Centre
Transept.
RAILWAY AND PUBLIC COMPANIES IN PARLIA-
MENT.—Yesterday in committee of the Lords the preamble
of the North Eastern, Hull and Doecaster Branch was de-
clared proved, mid the clauses were settled. The opposition
for lion. G. C. Norton and others to the Edinburgh and Dun-
fermline was opened by Mr. Serjeant Beltran in Lord
Churston's committee. The bill for the South London and
Tooting lines of the London and Brighton Railway was
passed in the Earl of Devon's committe.., and the cue of the
Lancaster Canal and London and North Western subse-
quently opened. A committee, with Lord Eversley for
chairman, sat to consider the FAgin acid Nairn, and Had-
dingtonshire Road, the Metropolis Turnpike Trusts, and the
Pier and Harbours Confirmation bills. In the Commons,
alter examining Mr. Turner and Sir C. Fox, the committee
Rtthe bills for the suburban extensions of the London,
~ and Dover Railway to Wandsworth, Peckham,
and Blackheath. The line from Woolwich to Crams Hill,
near the Greenwich Observatory, ia abandoned until next
session.

AN INFURIATED COW. - Yesterday, a short
time after two o'clock, an infuriated now belonging to a
butcher named Nash, in Three Colt-street, Limehouse, wee
released from a stable in Denmark-streek ltatcliff-highway,
and ran wildly through the streets. After knocking down
and injuring several persons a police constable named Beer,
No. 106 K, made an attempt to atop the animal in Broad-
street, Ratcliff. The cow made a rush at him, and one of its
hams pierced his skull. He was raised from the ground in
an apparently lifeless state and conveyed to the London
Hospital. He has received such fearful injuries that it is
not expected be will live more than • few boors. The
animal pursued its 1361.1 career in the streets of Medved',
Ratcliff, Mile-end Old-town, and Bethnal-green for upwards
of an hour. Various attempts were made to secure it but
without success. It was eventually driven into the Regent's-
canal, when a poll-axe was obtained and the animal was
killed, the carcase being hauled out of the canal with ropes.

NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION PRIZE

KEETLNO.

The excitement which marked the proceedings of
the emaciation on Thursday was destined, as it really de.
served, to be of u temporary • character as the occasion
which had given rise to it, and the busi•em of yeeterday
was carried on with as great a regularity as if nothing what.
ever had occurred to mar the general arrangements. The
question of the value of disc marking as being so far sups.
rior to the old system of flag marking, had received so mi.
venal a declaration in its favour at the meeting of the
volunteers in front of the council tent on Thursday, that
any doubt, which had bey previously entertained were
then set at rest, and the rnly &log which remained for coast.
aeration was how that system could be carried out with safety
to those who were engaged in the respossible duty of Dot-
ing the scores. As was mentioned yesterday, on Lord
Echo stating to the Victoria Rifle Corps that the association
were in want of persons to undertake the duties of marines,
consequence of the veto which had been put upon the
further employment of the Guards by the order of General
Hay and Colonel Steele, 15 of that corps immediately 'cam.
tarred to act as markers, and they remained in the butts
throughout the day. Lord Elcho, Earl Grosvenor, and the
Earl of Dade also performed that duty in the butts at
which disc marking was used, not only with • view of
giving their sanction to the system, but to afford a certain
amount of confidence to those who were engaged in
recording the register of the shots that were made. Yester.
day the places of Lord Elcho, Earl Grosvenor, and the Earle(
Ducie were supplied by Lord Bury and Colonel Lindsay,
together with some of the members of the Victoria Corps
who had officiated on the previous day, and volunteers from
corps. The council of the ueociatioa have not been un.
mindful of these union, and in oonaideration of them they
have announced that a prize of 251. will be given for compe-
tition, open to the members of the volunteer corps and others
who have been engaged in marking during the meeting—five
shots at 300 yards, to be shot for with Enfield rifles.
The programme of the day consisted of • continuation of
the first stage for the Queen's Prize at 600 yards, the lest
stage of the House of Loots Prizes, the All-Comers Prima,
the Enfield All-Comers Prizes, the Association Cup, the
Saturday Review and Lord Vernoo's Prizes, the first and
second series of extra prizes, the running man, and the pool
and sighting targets.
The day yielded no results, except to • certain extent as
regarded the Queen's Prize, and with the preceding, at
600 yards terminated the contest at the first stage. The
30 highest at this stage are entitled absolutely to 30 rifles,
the highest amongst that number being entitled to the
silver medal of the National Rifle Amodation in addition.
The next 30 beet shots in this stags of the competition, with
those who obtained the 30 rifles, to contest for the Queen's
Prize at 800, 900, and I,oBoyards, 5 shots at each range. The
shooting for this last advanced step was most ably con.
tested, the highest score of 49 being made in two instances
by Private Wither, of the 2nd Faux, who ob.
Mined that number without in • single instance
missing the target in either of the nape of
200, 500, and 600 yank The other cue in which
a similar number was obtained was Sergeant Mil.
lard, of the St. George's Corp, who made 49. He com-
menced yesterday with a very bad light, but notwithstand-
ing be made three till's eye* at 600 yards, when the wind
shifted, which materially disturbed previous calculatiom,
but with his last shot he made a centre, scoring three make.
Them tie will have to be shot off to-morrow to mew.
tin who is to have the silver medal of the smock.
tion, as well as the rifle. The champion badge of
the St. George's Rifles has existed for three years, and ifs
first representative, Mr. Edward Stewart, in 1861 carried
off a rifle at this meeting, and there is • good chance of
Sergeant Millard sharing • similar honour this year. We
understood that there were four who bad pined 43 marks,
11 with 42, and 26 with 40. The whole of the ties will be
shot off this day.
The whole of the contests for the other prizes were pro.
needed with, and in regard to the shooting foe Lord Vernon's
Prize, Captain Heaton, 3rd Manchester, made 6 cartons out
of 21 shots at 600 yards, whilst the next highest score wee
5 out of 89 shots.

Another accident occurred yesterday at cue of the butts
through the splaehing of a bullet, but it was of so slight a
nature u not even to require the attendance of Dr. West.
macott, the surgeon.
In the comae of the day an orderly arrived at the camp
from the Duke of Cambridge conveying a communication
to the effect that he entirely approved of the course takes
by Colonel Steele yesterday in withdrawing his men from
the butts. _ -

Yesterday the " running deer " was withdrawn, and the
" running man " was substituted for it. About 500 tickets
were sold during the day, and the utmost interest was felt
in this new trial of skill, which is one calculated to test the
abilities of the best marksmen. The only prize to be obtained
in aiming at this moving object is by making • bull's eye—
that is by striking the figure within a circle five inches only
in diameter ou the breast, which is a smaller space than that
of the running deer, which is seven inches in diameter. Up
to 4 o'clock yesterday the following bull's-eyes at this object
were made: Captain Hoiden., 3rd West Yorkshire, I;
Sergeant Abbeton, Cheltenham Cadet, 2 (this was obtained
out of three shots) ; Captain Herbert, Coldstream Guards,
2; Sergeant Watson, Hythe School of Musketry, 1; Cap.
tain Barrows, 45th Regiment, 1 ; G. G. Peterken, 45th
Regiment, 1 ; Corporal Bearull, 2nd West Yorkshire, 1.
The demand for ammunition on the ground his been very
great during the meeting, 17,000 rounds having been die.
posed of on Tuesday, 25.000 on Wednesday, 18,000 ca
Thursday, and about 19,000 yesterday. Ten rounds, with
15 percussion caps, are sold for 6d., a charge much cheaper
than it could be obtained at elsewhere. The ammunition is
of the best quality, made expressly for volunteer firing at
Woolwich Arsenal, and is supplied by the government at
' cost price. As it is the intention of the government that
this ammunition shall be applied only to the legitimate put.
poses of this meeting, a larger amount than 40 rounds is
not allowed to be served out to any person at a time. In
former years ea many u 2,000 rounds were taken by •
single individual, for the purpose of being conveyed to the
country, as being cheaper and of a better quality than could
be obtained there.

The following notice wee posited yesterday :

LAW INTELLIGENCE
(THIS DAY.)
EQUITY COURT.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Stuart.)
THE COUNTESS DELLS SETA. V. LORD VERNON.
The Vi.o.Chancellor said he had received a letter, dated
from Brookes Club, and purporting to be signed by Lord
Versos. He handed it to Mr. Bacon, Q.C., hie
lordship's counsel, observing that if it were a forgery it
should go no further, so far as his Honour woe concerned,
but his lordship and his solicitor might take such steps as
they might think proper with respect to it. If,
however, it were not a forgery, he desired that
it, might be handed to Mr. Melina, adding that
as it contained a gross personal insult to himself, and
woe a contempt of court, he should summon Lord Vernon
before Dim, and commit him for the contempt.
The solicitor of Lord Vernon stated that the letter was
not in his lordship's handwriting.
His Honour said he could readily believe it, as it was
not the letter of a gentleman.
Mr. Melina, Q.C., asked to see the letter, but the Vice-
Chancellor said, " No, no, Mr. Melina."
Here the matter dropped.

Br. staveley Hill and Mr. Cohen for the re*p ent.
This was the petition of a wife for a judicial separation

dent pleaded connivance and unreasonable delay. The
marriage took place in 1833, the respondent being at
that time an ironmonger in partnership with his
father in Union-street, Paddington. The connexion was
not a happy one, and there were several separations be-
fore the 14th of November, 1833, when cohabitation
brolly orneed. An allowance of 7s. per week was
peen the petitioner, which was afterwards increased to 95.,
and that continued to be paid till the commencement of these
proceedings. The respondent after the ultimate separation
ti igen to commit adultery with Ann Hatfield, and he bad
lived with her at varioue times since then. This was not
denied, sad the issues were merely those raised by the re-
spondent.
The jury, after a brief consultation upon the evidence
given in the canoe, found that Mrs. Boultiog had been cord
net of her husband's adultery since 1843, heal connived at
it, and that she had beenignilty of unreasonable delay in pee.

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

WORSHIP-STREET.
AN OMNIBUS THINS.

A well-dreamed woman of44s,ana who gave the name of
EliAberh Craddock, supposed to be an alias, was charged
with picking the pocket of a lady in ooe of the omnibuses
belonging to the London General Company.
Mr. Beard attended as solicitor to the company, and con.
dacted the prosecution. Be called Yin Solder, resident
st Severer, who said—Yesterday evening, about six
o'clock, I was next to the prisoner in an omnibus peeling
op the City-road. Suddenly she slighted, and almost impul-
sively I felt my pocket immediately afterwards. My purse
had been taken from it while I was in thevehlds, and I made
the conductor acquainted with the fact, at the same time
mentioning my suspicion that the person who had sat next
roe was the thief. Subsequently my puma, containing
121. Id. and some postage stamps, was restored to me.
Jceeph Gilbert, conductor of the omnibus—On being in-
formed of the lady's loss I punned the prisoner about 2C3
mods, and on telling her t bat a lady had been robbed in the
omnibus, she had Just left, she appeared astonished, and
denied all knowledge of the matter. I, how-
ever, insisted upon her returning with me,
upon which she coolly took from her pocket
a purse containing the amount of money and property men.
timed, put it into my hand, and said " Let me go !" Of
coon I refused to do this, and the lady having identified
the purse as her own, prisoner was given into custody.
Mr. Joyce, a coal-merchant at Hoaton, having I...corrobo-
rated the conductor's statement,
Mr. Beard said—l am given to understand that the pri-
soner is an old thief.
. . . . _ .

Bendel! (the gaoler)—Sir, she is • general thief, I have
known her as long es I have been acquainted with police
duties. She has been frequently convicted, but, I believe,
mostly hi the City.
Mr. Leigh intimated his intention to send Mimi Craddock
for trial, bat ordered a remand th►t the convictions spoken
of might be proved.

WANDSWORTH.

TRI WIMBLEDON RI/LE MATCH.- POLICE RROULLTIONS.

Wilfialis White, an omnibus driver badge No. 1,040, was
placed in the dock, charged by the police with driving to the
common danger of the public.
Sergeant Cardiac, 34 V, mid that on the previous after-
noon he was on duty in Putney, regulating the cabs and
omnibuses at the railway station. The defendant was there,
acting as conductor to his omnibus. The driver was loitering
shout the Richmond-road and Putney railway bridge.
Witness told the driver that he could not ply for hire on
the bridge, as he was obstructing the thoroughfare, and
that he must go on the stand and take his turn. Instead
of going on to the stand he again drove into the Richmond-
toad. On the arrival of a train the driver drove on
towards the stand over the bridge. Witness told the driver
that he must return or else he would came an obstrac-
lion. The driver said he would get down and
band the reins to the defendant, who was the regular
driver. The defendant called out to the driver to go on,
bat finding that the man was stopped and was gettingdown,
be got on to the box, and, with an oath, declared he would
goon. Witness put his hand, on the horses' heads to pre-
test him, when he commenced flogging the poor animals
most unmercifully. One gentleman was nearly knocked
down and witness was obliged to take the prisoner into
custody or he would have run over some one. The witness
added that there was a great many vehicles passing at the
time.

Oilier evidence wee given to show that the prisoner had
been cautioned on the previous days and wee well aware of
the police regulations. It also appeared that the police had
had a great deal of trouble with bun.
The prisoner denied flogging the homes, and said he had
moat got on to the box when he was taken into custody.
Mr. Ingham said it was necessary dui,' the Wimbledon
Rifle Match that the thoroughfare should be kept clear ;
and as it was proved that the prisoner had driven in a
dangerous manner he fined him 20a., and, in default, to be
ireprieoned for seven days.
The defendant did not pay the fine, and he was sent to
prison.

SHOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE CITY.—
(THIS DAT.)—This morning at 11 o'clock • shocking accident
happened at No. 19, Broad-streetbaildinge, Broad-street,
City, by which a man named Thomas Freemen lost his life.
It appears that the premises were being pulled down to
'oaks room for the works of the North Loon Railway.
Deceased was standing on the top of • wall when by some
means be fell headlong down, and was within • few
inches of crushing police-covetable 121, of the City
police, in his fall. As it was he came cm his
head on the pavement, his brains were dashed out, and hie
ribs broken. He was removed, horribly mangled, to the
hospital, when life was, of wares, found to be extinct. The
escape of the polioncondable was most miraculous, the
body of deceased almost grazing him in the descent. The
accilent happening at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, when the
streets were full, large crowds instantly assembled on the
Vat,
THE ISLINGTON CHILD MURDER.--SiDOB the in-
goat was opened on the remains of the unfortunate child
Elizabeth Hunter. on Tuesday last, the lower jaw has been
found, close to the spot where Ibe head was buried. As
the are stands at present it is surmised that the mur-
dered child was enticed into the hothouse by the mur-
derer ; that, having abased her, he held • handkerchief to
her month to stifle her screams (as in the instance of the
former girl), sod in so doing suffocated her; and that,
dreading detection in both crimes, he buried the body in
the dirt-heap behind the stove pipes under the stage. It
may seem strange that the dirt should have remained for
so long • time without being disturbed, bat it must be
borne in mind that the spot was not only most difficult
of access, bat that it was always hidden by the flowerpots
on the stage. The adjourned ioquest will be held on
Wednesday, and the prisoner will be brought up for re-
examination on Thursday. The burial of the remains will
take piece to-morrow.
A &roar or Vn.Latuu.—A most painful story
sou told yesterday in the Salford Seesiona•court. It seems
that in January last • man named Broadbent called
It the house of • Mr. Thorpe, who lives in the
neighbourhood of Halifax, and on the pretence of desiring
to do business with him, managed to ingratiate him-
self with the family. He proposed to Thorpe's daughter and
