EASTER PIECES.

The preparations for the Easter pieces at the
varloas Loudon theatres are now No far advanced that we
may give a correct list of the promised entertainments. At
Drury Lane the leading attraotioa will be an elaborate
revival of Shakespeare's Henry thc Fourth—with Mr. Phelps
in the character of Falstaff. The Haymarket managers will
produce • new burlesque by kir. J. C. liarmind, called Fines
and Adonip, in which • new actress will make her appear.
awe; and lira. Selby, at the New Royalty, will also pro-
duce a new extravagaus by the woe author, called The
Maid and What's his Name, or the Wanton at the Wh-et,
with • new low comedian. The Adelphi will rely upon
Leah with new scenery, and its stack farces ; the Strand
will not change its bill. except to introduce • new come-
dietta called A Host for a Husband ; at the St. James's
Mrs. Howard Paul will probably appear in • new litalesque
version of Fro Diaroto ; the Princess's will produce • new
farce by Mr. Maddisoo Morton, called Draarinproonts,
Second-floor, and Attics; at the Lyceum there will be no
dear, except in the revival of an old farce (A Deo after
the Pair), and the return of Mr. Frchter after his late
severe accident ; and the Olympia will probably not alter its
programme, unless to introduce the burlesque " morality"
prepared last Christmas by Mr. Tom Taylor. The minor
theatres are all active ; and while the Surrey will put forth
the attraction of a new melodrama with Mr. Anderson in
the chief character, Sidle?. Wells will open its doors with
an English opera company. Asian's promises • new
drama with extraordinary "effects.' and the Victoria •
new play by Mr. Stirling Coyne, with Madame Celeste as
the heroine. The arcuate, music-balls, and entertainers
will all put forward special claims to public support, and the
Crystal Palace will do its best to attract many thousands.

CLOWES r. CLOWLS AND NORRIS.

Mr. Deane, the petitioner ; Dr.
Wambey for the corespondent.
This was, in =my respects, a very singular use. In 1841,
Mr. Cloves wedded Harriet Emily Geraldine Terry ; and
he lived with her for about a couple of vein at Walvorth
and Bennington. Ha then attempted, though without
success, to have the marriage declared null, on the ground
that it had been procured by fraud. Afterwards, the
respondent sued him in the Arches Court for the restitution
of her conjugal rights. He defended the case, filed re-
criminatory pleas, and obtained a divoros i °rusk et thoro,
on the ground of adultery. In 1846, under the name of
Miss Jones, the respondent contracted a marriage de facto
with a person of property named Morris. After cohabiting
with him for some time she was separated from this gut's-
man likewise ; sad Mr. Morris found himself sued by a
great number of persons for goods supplied, as was illegal
to his wife. She vu also taken before the Hertford
magistrates on a charge of forging his name to a bill of
exchange for 1,50 W. A friend of Mr. Cloves, reading re-
ports of some of these proceedings in the newspapers, ad-
vised Mr. Cloves to file his petition, a step which he bad
omitted to take sooner, not being aware that the court could
give him any further relief.
The petitiours cue having been proved by a person
named Pearce, who had been butler to the petitioner's
father, and who had been present at the trials referred to,
The matter vu ordered to stand over until the fall court
had given its decision upon a question now pending before
it, as to what constituted unreasonable delay.

Dr. Wambey appeared for the petitioner.

This was the nils of • lestbervidler for a divorce, on the
ground of his wife's adultery with a shoemaker and post-
man. The marriage had taken place in 1.%43, and the sepa-
ration in 1861. Sap then the respondent had ti

ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY.—On Saturday the
first spring exhibition took place at the gardens of the
R.,yal Botanic Society, Regent's Perk. Considering the
state of the weather for some time past it was not to be
expected that the show would equal some of its prede-
cessors, either in the quantity or quality of the flowers
exhiLited. But allowing for this circurnat.,noe the present
show was an excellent one. Tien) was • fine collection of
hyacinths, and the tourneeols and tulips made a brilliant
appearance. There au • fair exhibition of cycl7mens, lilies
of the Talley, and cinerimias, and a small patch of bright and
brilliant roses, which reminded one of the more advanced
summer. The day sou extremely propitious, and a WV*
oomp•ny took advantage of it to visit the gardens. The
band of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) was in attendance,
and some admirable selections from Meyerbier, Rossini,
Gounod, Verdi, !cc, were performed. Amongst the
visitors were the Earl of Dudley, ;the Countess Ashburn-
ham, Lord Clifden, Lady Llewellyn, Lady Joddrell, Sir
Charles Lye% Sir Edward Hulse, Sir John Fisher, Sir T.
Phillips, Colonel Chafe. to.

?HZ SCHLESWIG-IIoLSTEIN QUESTION.
HANOVER, ;Alf. 12.

In reply to the address presented by the deputa-
tion of the popular meeting, Herrvan Hammerstein,
the Minister of the Interior, declared that it was
known how great an interest the King takes in the
duchies, but that his Majesty could not by any
explanation anticipate the decision of the Federal
Diet. The minister refused to give any positive
explanation as to the intentions of the King's
government, but observed that there was no reason
to suppose that the reply of the King would be
unfavourable.

FRENCH CIRCULAR TO THZ GERMAN
STATES.

BERLIN, JAN. 12.

France has addressed a circular note to the se-
condary German States, explaining her position in
reference to the proposal of England for the
assembling of a conference on the Schleswig-
Holstein question. It is asserted that France
states in this circular note that the London Con-
ference of 1862 bad only created an impotent work,
which has been condemned by events. A new con-
ference must be based upon proper conditions.
Such a conference must take as its starting point
the state of things now existing in Holstein, and
must not be in opposition to the Federal Diet, as it
would discuss questions which might have already
been resolved by events. France would also wish
the Diet to be represented at this conference, but
must first know whether the Federal Diet, which
has hitherto objected to the interference of the
foreign powers who signed the protocol of London
in the quarrel with Denmark, has changed its
views on that subject.

7BAUD AND POMMY BY Ali ACTUARY.

At the Neelon Police-court, on Monday, James
Woodward, late actuary to the Neaten and Wirral Bank
for Savings, was brought up on remand, charged with for-
gery, and with having fraudulently appropriated to his own
use the monies of the depositor, amounting altogether to
about 3000/. The magistrates on the bench were Captain
Graham (chairman), Mr. C. Bushell, the Rev. H. Comm,
and Captain Clegg. The greatest excitement prevailed ie
the place ;the small wart-home was crowded to exams, sad
a large amber of depositors attended with their passbooks,
anxious to know whether their names bad been inserted in
the books of the bank, so that they might establish • claim
upon the insulation. The prison..•, as has been already
stated in the Merotry, ie ■bout 70 jean of age. He is'
s little, grey-beaded mac, of rather s respectable appear.
sacs, and on being placed in the dock it was observed by
those who knew him well that he looked much better than
usual, it being suggested that the discovery of his frauds
had considerably eased his mind. The old delinquent was
quite a 000lidential man in the district, and a fortnight ago
he was believed by many to be one of the moat honest men
in Nentoo. The frauds of the prisoner extend over a period
of tweety6ve or thirty years. The primer was first
charged with having obtained 2001. from the bank by false
pretences, such amount having been falsely entered in the
cashbook to the credit of his nephew, Joseph Woodward, a
gardener, residing at Neatoo. The socused was next charged
with having received 304 from a depositor, and not paying
it over on the next day to the hank, according to the
rules. And next, with having forged, on the 20th
November, 15tiO, the initials of Mr. Thomas Radford,
who was then a director of the beak, and resided
at Nestoa. The prisoner, who daring the examination ap-
peared quite uncoacerned, was then committed to trial at
the assizes on each of these three charges, his only remark
being. "I have nothing to my: all right" The pri-
soner has given up all his property, but we believe it is of
very little value. He resided in a respectable-looking homes
at the entrance i3Neston, anct, an has been already stated,
enjoyed up to the present time a reMatation for strict
honesty. His wife is still living, and is 84 years of age,
being about 14 years his senior. He has an only son, who
is • clergyman In Leedom—Leeds Mercury.

JAPAN.

The Moniteur de la Platte publishes very favour-
able news from its own correspondent in Japan,
dated Yokohama, November 17. The letter states
that on the preceding day the difficulty with Prince
Satsuma was arranged. The prince is to pay the
English representative the sum of 25,0001. de-
manded previous to the attack on Kagosima for the
murder of Mr. Richardson. The government of
Jeddo have, moreover, withdrawn the decree for
the expulsion of foreigners from Japan, and have
discontinued the building of forts round Yokohama,
which remains in possession of the European forces.
The Prince of Satsuma had become much less
savage, and had announced his intention to send 30
young men of gool family to be educated in Eng-
land. Peace may consequently be considered as
certain for the present, and commercial transac-
tions have resumed their activity. There were
fourteen English ships of war in the port of
Yokohama on the 17th of November, and in addi-
tion two corvettes at Nangasaki The English
admiral is said to be expecting two more vessels
from the Pacific.

EXTRAORDINARY 3UICIDII IN ST. unirs.

An inquiry wee held by Mr. Humphreys, Mid-
dlesex coroner at the Iron Heed Tavern, Okiswellntreet,
St. Luke's, last night, respecting the suicide of Mr. Thoma.
Shackell, aged 49 yrs.
Mrs. Frances Shackell said that deceased was a hatter
carrying on business at No. 75, Chiswell-street. He was
latterly desponding because he wished to sell the business,
but bin landlord would not accept of any tenant who would
buy the stock. He was reserved and would not tell witness
anything. He slept by himself in the parlour behind the
shop. Witness last saw him on Saturday night. She
knocked for him at dinner time on Sunday, but no answer
was given, and she thought he had gone out. After charzit
in the evening, however, she became alarmed, and the par-
lour was broken open, and he was found dead on the sofa.
Mr. W. Mouroe, a lodger, said that when the parlour was
broken open the deceased was lying dead, undressed, an the
sofa There was a cup on the table, by the side of wh:ch
was a piece of paper, on which was written "Beware of the
poison in the tea-cup on the bob." No doubt he Ind ia.
tended to place the tea-cup on the hob after he drank
of the poison ; but the action of the drug wu too quick.
There was also on a file a letter, which was as follows :
" You wad Dot open my body. I have taken poison. and
Mr. has been the cause of it. For I have offered to
get hirt a tenant who would purchase the stork, ti tunes,
tee. ; but he has refused to aooept any tenant, for the ex-
pire pupae' to ruin me.
' Saturday eve, Dec. 3,1864,1 i o'clock p.m.
"F. SHACKELL.
"My last words are—be very kind to one another. As
for me, I die in perfect peace."
The witness said that the deceased's shop bad been broken
into a year ago, and he had ever mince slept in the parlour
behind it, say lag, " If they come again I will be there as
well as themselves." He used to lock himself in, Sod not
answer even his wife. Witness believed he was not of quite
sound mind.

Dr. Evan Evans said that the deceased had poisoned
himself with cyanide of potassium. A paper of
that poison lay on the table, and the deceased leas
apparently so anxious that no one should taste it in
mistake that he had pinned on it a large label
"Poison." The cyanide of potassium was need in the arts,
and was at present sold without any inquiry brans made as
to what purchasers wanted of it. It was quits as deadly as
prorate' acid.
A clerk of the landlord said that that gentleman was
not in town, and he (the clerk) knew nothing about the re-
foal of a tenant. The house was let to a Sir. Parker, but
deceased paid the rent.
The Coroner having summed up.
The jury returned a verdict of • Suicide while of unsound
mind.

SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHO'.
(THIS DAY.)

This morning from an early hour the Agriesl.
taral-hall was again densely crowded. This is evidently the
farmers' day, and it was cry to distinguish in the throng
which crowded every avenue of the show, the arcades, and
the galleries by their ruddy countenances, and their anti•
" Butting" appearance—the large mar of our
country cousins from the denizens of the metropolis.
The grand point of attraction was naturally the two ani-
mals which were considered such formidable competitor.--
viz., Mr. Joseph Phillips's Hereford steer, which obtaisel
the gold medal at Birmingham, and Mr. Kirkham's short •
bore.

The sales during the morning were more lively elm] on
the previous day, and Yuan John Giblett and 1
the Mews. Guerrier, who are the principal salesmen at the
show, express a confidence that by the time the I, huw
over the greater part of the animals will be sold.
At the time we write there are not lees than 10,000
persons in the galleries and various parts of the show.yard.

VISIT Or THR LORDS OF Till ADNIRAIZY TO

rather more than three times its present size. About one-
third, or nearly 100 acres, will be owned by steam basins

tories, weetelhops, and other buildings. Nearly one thou-
sand convicts are daily employed on the works, and the

THE

chair itself had been held by some other pen
We do not believe that any one can feel •
moment's doubt that if this had been the case there
would have been no serious opposition to the pro-
posal which has been so often made. The effec-
tual reason which has all along prevented its adop-
tion is the dislike which a majority of Convocation
feels towards Mr. JowErr's religious views.
We say " the effectual reason," because we are
aware that there are other objections which may
no doubt have influenced some of Mr. Jowarr's
opponents. What is the real weight of those
objections it seems to us to be now too late to
consider. Whether it is desirable for the Uni-
versity to endow a Regius Professorship, or
whether, as Mr. FRZEMLN has very ably urged in
our own columns, the obligation to do so in this in-
stance really rests upon Christ Church, are ques-
tions which might once have been pertinently asked,
and one or other of which might perhaps have received
an affirmative answer. That this is no longer
possible is the fault of Mr. Jowtres adversaries.
They have treated all other considerations as sub-
ordinate to the theological; and they have thereby
driven those who differ from them to take an
exactly opposite course. We are not disposed to
under-estimate the arguments against the expe-
-1 (I,ency of an independent corporation doing anything
to augment the value of Crownpatronage ; still leas
have we any desire to see the University impover-
ished, even to the extent of a few hundreds a year,
in order to spare the pockets of the Dean and
Chapter of Christ Church. But when • principle
has once been brought into the field there is no
longer any room for nice discrimination between
conflicting interests. Arguments of this kind must
now give way to considerations of elementary
morality ; and if the pecuniary position of the
University is thereby injured, the blame must rest
with those who have first imported theology into
the discussion, and taught Churchmen the religious
duty of getting a heretic tc do their work for no-
thing. To those who feel that an act of moral obli-
quity on the part of any religions leader is in its
degree an injury to the cause of religion, it is no
alight satisfaction that Dr. Prate should have
taken the line he has in the controversy respecting
the Greek Professorship ; and our best wish for
Archdeacon DENISON is that he may one day see
that, though justice is only a natural virtue, it is
not undeserving of a place in the catalogue of
Christian graces.

left home, stoles. From the feet that nothing else had
been carried away he concluded that the robbery had been
committed by the prisoner, after whom he had been mines
searching night and day, and meeting with him last night he
gave him into custody.
Mr. Mande—Did you tell him the charge upon which you
I gave him into custody !
The father —I did, your worship. He made no answer
then, but subsequently he acknowledged to the policeman
that he committed the robbery.
Mr. Maude—What family have you!
The father—l have one other child besides the prisoner,
but I am compelled to pay for its maintenance from home,
not being able to let it be with the poisoner.
Mr. Maude—Have you no wife
The father—The mother and the step•mother of the
prisoner are both dead, and I have no wile. There is the
grandmother, but she cannot do anything with him.
Police-constable 74 M said that the prisoner when in his
custody acknowledged breaking into the house, and also that
he took the money to purchase clothes.
Mr. Maude remanded the prisoner for a week, intimating
his intention of then committing him for trial.
