ARCHES COURT.

THE COVITISS 01, DTeARTAGAINST THE EARL OF
DYSART. RESTITUTION OF CONJOOAL Rinwra.—The
learned judge, Sir Herbert Jenner Feat, gave his decision
in this case, which concerns an appeal from the decision of
Dr. Lushington in the Consistory Court, whereby Lady Dy-
sart was enjoined to return to her husband. The parties
were married in 1819, and lived together only 3 yearn, out of
18. The learned judge, at verb considerable length, went
over the forts relative to the position of both parties at the
time, a meet ample report of which was given when the cue
was heard, and judgment was delivered in the court below.
It may be that the habits and tastes of Lord Dysart were
known to Lady Dysart before marriage. But it eould hardly
be supposed that the lady thought there would be an absence
of &Imola all luxuries and conveniences. With an income of
about 3,0001. a year there were ample means for all appropriate
luxuries, though not fora gay London life. It was a marriage 111
of love and mutual affection. The letters before the court
proved this, and there was nothing to induce the lady to sap-
pose that she should be debarred of all comforts of a
necessary character, the situation of the lady being consi-
dered. It was not until the birth of the eon in January,
1820, that cruelty was alleged. The court absolved
the earl from earns blame on that occasion. From that
period, however, it was evident that the affections of the
husband to the lady had undergone a very great change. In
a letter annexed to Lady Dysart's allegation, Lard Dysart
candidly confessed to her that his affections had diminished.
Here, then, was the commencement of the unhappiness
which subsequently occurred. At Edmondsthorpe the
apartments were all furnished, it being recollected,
too, that at this period the husband had succeeded
to large resources. It was proved that before the
marriage Earl Dysart, then Lord Huntingtower, lived
well, and kept a large stud of horses. It was proved
that but a single candle was allowed for the convenience of
the lady ; that bread and butter only was allowed on most
days ; fish and poultry were surely ever at the table. The
learned judge then proceeded to refer at length to the evi-
dence of insulting language used by the earl, of his swearing
at her, keeping her from provisions, its. which need not be
repeated. Under all these circumstances, was not Lady
Dysart incommoded and treated harshly? Did not such treat-
ment tend to impair her health and comforts ? But even
this unkindness would not have warranted her desertion of
her matrimonial duties. But the same severe conduct sub-
sequently occurred at Buckrainster. She was called upon to
sacrifice her comforts, her feelings, end the position in
which she ought to stand, and although it had been
stated that her ladyship had used =premier aid
imputations which no man could be expected quietly to
bear, as the earl had exhibited no annoyance or temper upon
the occasion alleged, he (Sir H. Jenner Fast) could not but
conclude that the wife had never so acted. Legal cruelty
had been committed in January 1837 at least, and length of
time did not efface this. Taking all the circumstances into
consideration, and with a distrust of his own opinion where
opposed to that of the court below, still he (Sir If. J.
Frit) felt bound to grant a separation between the Earl
and Countess Dysart, r prayed by the latter. Notice of
appeal was given on behalf of the earl.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
OXFORD CIRCUIT.—READING, MARCH 2.
Nal Pam Coon.—F!etare Mr. Joalice Mauler

VINES O. THE OTLEAT WINTER:4 RAILAAL....eOMPANY.
—This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a solicitor
at Reading, to recover compensation from the defendants,
for injuries done to a phaeton through the segligent and in.
secure way in which the approaches to the Nation at Read-
ing were kept on the 12th last September. —Mr. G.
Hardy arrived at the station at ten o'eleek is the evening,
where, in accordance with a previous errametneut, the
carriage, horse, and coachman of the plaintiff had been sent
to await his arrival ; he took his seat in the hinder part of
the phaeton, the coachman driving upon the box ;
the carriage then proceeded along the road leading
from the station into Friar-street, the horse, described
as a lively animal, was startled at something supposed
to be the whistle of the engine, proceeded on its journey,
darted onwards, and came in contact with a log of timber,
which projected about twelve feet from the fence which
marked the boundary of the road; the carriage was lifted up
into the air, the coachman was thrown from his seat to the
ground, Mr. Hardy kept his place until the vehicle came in
I contact with the large gate, belonging to the railway com-
pany, and which lead from Friar street to the station. The
effect of the concussion was, to shiver the ' to atoms,
to injure the horse, and to throw out Mr. ardy, and
inflict a permanent injury to the joint of one of his thumbs.
The learned counsel contended that the railway company
having dedicated a space of their ground leading into Friar-
street from the station, to form a road, were bound to keep
it reasonably secure and free from obstructions, so that pas
wagers to and from the railway might proceed in safety.—
The jury found a veld* for the phuntifr Damages 281. les.,
the amount of injury done to the carriage.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD CO U 11T.—Befoce the Parrirdsr.
Is TIII BLUM—Mary Ann Brookes, 22, war indicted
for stealing a knife, and DOM trifling article. of linen, the
property of John Denny, her master. Mr. Parnell prose-
cuted ; Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. The pro-
secutor is a surgeon residing in the London-road ; and, in

consequence of • communication which he had received, was
induced to examine the prisoner's drawers, and be there
f. und the articles vaentioned in the indictment; but it
appeared that the drawers were open, and there was no evi-
dence to show that the prisoner intended to apply them to
her own use —The jury, without hearing Mr. Clarkson for
the defenos, returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
The prisoner was then charged, upon another indictment,
with stealing a cap, a toilet cover, a towel, and one or two
other linen articles, the property of the prosecutor. The
principal wiener was a person named Henry Player. His
names was to the following effect:—He has beim for some
time a prisoner in the Queen's Bench prison, and the pri-
ssier bad been in the habit of visiting him for about six
weeks. He knew that she was a servant at Mr. Denny's,
and remembered her bringing him a toilet cloth, a towel,
and a eap. He afterwards made a communication to Mr.
Denny of the fact of the prisoner having brought hint the
things. In answer to a question from Mr. Parnell, the wit-
ness said that he had passed as Lieutenant Player of the
Royal Horse Guards Blue, but he added very quickly, that
he was not a lieutenant "in point of fact." Mr. Clarkson :
Did you never represent yourself to the prisoner as Lieut.
Player of the Royal Horse Guards, and (reading from •
letter) the Royal Hone Guards Blew. (Laughter.)—The
witnem gave no answer.—Mr. Clarkson : Were you ever in
custody for swindling?—Player: I don't remember k—
in answer to further questions he said that be was a mar-
ried man, but had separated from his wife. He was not
aware that he had made love to the prisoner. The learned
counsel then read, amid much laughter, an extract from a
letter written by the witness to the prisoner, in which he
sold that he had bundreaming of the "divine kisses" she had
given him when they last parted at the prison gate, and that
he should not be happy till he saw her again ;—and asked him
whether he had not written to her in that *train ? Player
replied that be might have done so.—Mr. Clarkson : Did
you ever know a person named Osman, who dealt in plate ?
Player : That's • good many years ago. I gave him a bill
for some plate.—Mr. Clarkson : What became of the plate ?
Player : I don't know ; perhspa it was pawned.—Mr. Clark-
son: Do you remember giving an order for 300 pounds'
worth of watches, and jumping through a skylight into
another man's house when an officer came about them ?
Player : I cannot recollect that: it is a long while ago. I did
not take the watches.—The Recorder No, but did you take
the leap into another pen,n's house when the officer came ?
(Laughter.)—Player : I did not take any leap.—Mr. Clark-
son having addressed the jury, the Recorder summed up,
and the jury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
His lordship ordered that no expenses should be allowed to
the witness Player.

POLICE.-YESTERDAY.

WORSHIP-STREET. Re OF PLATE AND
JEWELLlllLT.—loformation was given at this court that
on Sunday last the premises of Messrs. Cooper Brothers,
wholesale jewellers at Norwich, were forcibly entered,
and plundered of property to the amount of upwards
of 2,0001. Messn. Cooper, it appeared, left home at
eleven o'clock, according to their usual custom, to attend
divine service, leaving the place unprotected, but perfectly
secured; and on their return in the evening at seven o'clock
they found the lock of the door in apparently the same state
as they had left it. On entering the warehouse, however,
it presented a scene of the greatest disorder, all the drawers
and cases having been broken open, and property, consisting
of gold and silver watches, rings, brooches, and other costly
articles of jewellery and plate to the above amount carried
off. There could be no doubt but that the robbery had been
effected by some expert London burglars, as a number of
plated articles had been carefully selected from the rest and
thrown aside, and several massive silver salvers, &c., which
were too large to be conveniently concealed and removed,
were also left behind them by the thieves. An intimation
of the robbery was immediately given by Messrs.
Cooper to the local police, and at nine o'clock
the same night Mr. Orianshaw, the station-master
at the London terminus of the Eastern Counties
Railway, received a communication by the ekctric telegraph,
directing him to examine carefully all the packages by the
next luggage train from Norwich, and detain such as might
warrant a suspicion of their contents. On the train coming
up, accordingly, the contents of the several trucks were sub-
jected to a severe scrutiny, and a rough-looking deal box, of
great weight for its dimenaions,and directed to be forwarded
on to Birmingham, seeming by its general appearance to
justify the step, was at once opened, and found to contain 50
silver watch-cues, end • large number of wedilinglings, all
broken up; a quantity of old coins, numerous breastpins
and otherjewellery,of the supposed aggregate value of about
500/. The electric telegraph was again set in motion, to
apprise Mr. Cooper of this discovery, and summon him to
town to examine the articles ; but on his arrival at the ter-
minus it was discovered that the property formed no portion
of the plunder which had been taken from his premises,
though, to enhance the singularity of the coincidence, two
sovereigns were also discovered in the box, and that was the
exact amount of money, Mr. Cooper stated, which had been
stolen from his house on the night of the robbery. Serjeant
Teakle, and other vigilant oaken of the met,opolitan police,
have since been actively engaged in unremitting endeavour
to trace the stolen property, but up to the hour of closing the
court without success.

MONEY MARKET.

TURSDAT EVINRCO.

The funds have been in a heavy declining state to-
day. Consols, after various intermediate fluctuations, left
off at 901 to 1 for money, and 901 to 1 for account, which
was 1 per cent. below the opening quotations. The Consols
scrip of the new loan was also less in favour, and at the close
of business was quoted at 11 to 1 premium only, er lees by
than the first quotations this morning. The transactions in
both stocks and scrip were, however, upon an unusually
moderate scale which, under the circumstances of such en
ordinarily attractive novelty of speculation as a new loan,
would seem to indicate that dealers and speculators were some-
what at fault, wanting leaders, nod looking to the contrac-
tors of the loan to support the market, or to make one.
Those gentlemen appear very properly to be leaving the
market to its own tendencies. There can be no difficulty
with capitalists of such. power themselves, and such exten-
sive connexions, in placing the loan in the hands of wealthy
parties where it will be held for investment, and not brought
to market for sale at a small present premium. It should,
therefore, be of the less consequence whether the premium
be more or less now, u the operation would be founded more
upon the hope of the prospective, than of present, profit.
The principal feature in the business of the home market
was some considerable sales in India bonds and
Exchequer bills. The bank broker took 10,0001. of the
latter at par ; but subsequently some parcels of the bills ad-
vertised to be paid off, or for renewal, were done at 2a. dis-
count The cause of these sales at discount was attributed
to the inconvenience of having to wait from the sth instant,
when they must be sent in, to the 17th, when they are to be
paid in money, or fresh bills delivered out ; as wall as to the
fact of the income tax having to be deducted from the iota
rest receivable, which makes their value so much leas as com-
pared with Consols, and with Consols Scrip at present prices.
It is not improbable that, as reported, come portion of
these sales of Exchequer Sills was made by pasties
having to pay up their instalments on Consols Scrip.
The present state of the Exchequer bill market, as observed
on another occasion, is by ne mesas snob as can be agreeable
at the Treasury. A respected correspondent, who objects
to the tenor 111 certain observations on the subject yester-
day, should remember that substantially there is, and should
be, no didtrame betwixt the bills advertised and thou
earnest fora leers period. The recent elevation of the
rats of Warest applies to both equally, and commencing at
the IMO pried • the values of both should therefore be
equal, sates thei axe with the slightest possible difference.

Foreign exchange has ruled for the most part at about
the some quotations as last post day, the chief differ-
ence being that there was less money at market. It was
observed that the Hebrew capitalist*, who are habitually
the most extensive dealers in foreign exchange, were to-day
taken of bills to a much mere limited amount than usual,
refusing in fact the greater portion of the bills offered on
various of the chief continental please. As the firm in ques-
tion are co-contractors for the eight millions loan, it was

assumed that this restriction of eic'hange operationi might
arise from the desire of bolding a larger sum of funds dis-
posable for paying up the first and other instalments on the
loan, so as not to press upon the ordinary supply of the stock
and general money market, with the possible effect of dis-
arranging the mune of money values. And hence was
argued the short fathoming* of money for exchange deal-
lags. The abstinence from exchange operations may, how-
ever, be more probably sooosusted for otherwise. It would
be the policy of the loaa contractors to keep money from
flowing out of the ectuafry, foe which it is requisite to main-
tain • high, or promote • hioa, rate of exchange, and by
to doing to quiet also any apprehension which might exist
in the Bank parlour of an inconvenient drain of metalils
values. The abundance of bills offering, which must follow
• restriction of exchange [militia, would result in raising
the rata of exchange, and have the effects desired ; and it
may be remarked, also, that the eo-loan contracting capitalists,
who are also large dealers in exchange, although not to the
same extent, practised also the same reserve in their deal-
ings to-day. On Amsterdam the rates negotiated were 12.2

to 4 ; on Rotterdam, 12.21 to ; on Antwerp, 26.66 to 70;
on Hamburg, 13.8 y to 91; on Frankfort, 1204 to f ; on Paris,
25.60 to 65 ; on Vienna 10 to 10.1; on Leghorn, 30 to 30.05 ;
on Naples, 401 ; on Madrid, 36i to I—all at three months.
On Lisbon, 60 days, 530 to 54.
An impression is abroad that a loan for the French govern-
' ment is to follow on the present loan contract of eight mil-
lions for this country. The combined partite for the French
' loan are said to be the Messrs Rothschild of London and
Faris, the Messrs. Borings, and the eminent house of Hot-
tinguer and Co., of Paris.
