Court the life-income given to the wife by settlement was
ordered to be paid to the husband after the divorce, and
the husband now applied for an order that the Accountant.
General should pay the dividends on a sum of money in
court to the husband. The wife bad been served but did
not appear. The Master of the Rolls bad refused to make
the order.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
JULY 4.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
WOOD Y. WOOD AND STANDEE.

Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Mr. Serjeant Tindal Atkinson, and
Dr. Spinks for the petitioner ; Mr. Serjeant O'Brien Mr.
Garth, and Mr. Wall for the respondent ; the Queen's
Advocate and Mr. Searle for the co-respondent.
Mr. Henry Walter Wood, an architect and surveyor at
Nottingham, sued for a divorce from his wife, Frames
Mary Wood, on account of her adultery with Mr. George
Baton Stanger a medical man, and deacon of an indepen-
dent congregation in the same town ; from whom he claimed
5,000/. as damages. The respondents simply pleaded a denial.
The parties were married in May, 1857, at which time the
petitioner was about 30 years of age, and the respondent,
then a Miss Crofts, the daughter of • lace manufacturer,
was about 10 years younger. There were three children,
rider the 'es lived very happily together, but not ever
• for soon after her first confinement the re-
spondent took to drinking, and there were dispute' both as
to the management of the children and a habit she bad of
going to the Roman catholic church, Mr. Wood being him-
self a unitarian. There was, however, no serious breach
for many years ; but in 1863, Mrs. Wood being on •
visit to her brother-in-law, Mr. Arthur Wood, who
with his wife had • theatrical engagement at
Devonport, left a letter behind her which fell into her hus-
band's hands. It was signed " George," and was in the
the co-respondent's handwriting. It was of a decidedly
amatory character, but Mrs. Arthur Wood did not think
fit to communicate it to the petitioner. The relations
with the parties did not improve. Mr. Wood grew dis-
satisfied with the visits of Mr. Stanger, who was an inti-
mate friend of the family, and was also its medical at-
tendant, and forbade him the hones. Soon after this (in
1865) Mrs. Wood left her home, alleging that her husband's
language was painful to her, and at this juncture Mrs. A.
Wood communicated to him the letterreferred to. This led to
his institution of the suit. The 00-respondent, who is about
50 years of age, is a married men with a large family.
Evidence of acts of some familiarity was given by the
servants of the petitioner and by the sextons of the General
Cemetery at Nottingham.
At the conclusion of the husband's awe the court ad-
journed.

THE USE OP THE NEEDLE GUN.

We read in the Moniteur du Soir :—" Letters
from Berlin attribute in great part to the employment
of the needle gun (Zandnadelgewehr) the success
achieved by the armies of King William. Accord-
ing to these communications the Austrian bat-
talions, conforming to the instructions of Marshal
Benedek, were to have endeavoured in all these eneoun•
ten to attack their adversaries with the bayonet, but they
rarely succeeded. The Prussian lines, often disposed
In three ranks, as in the time of Frederick the
Great, and contrary to the prescriptions of their
iodating regulations, allowed them to approach
to about 150 yards, the officers preventing
the men from firing, and habitually recommending them
to stoop down so as to offer a smaller mark to the fire of
the enemy. But from the moment that the enemy's
forces arrived at that distance, they were received with
five or six rounds, fired shot upon shot with the extraordi-
nary rapidity attainable by the system of breech-loading,
and which struck down every time so many men that
the attacking party were forced to retire in disorder, not-
withstanding the heroic example of their officers, of whom
the Prussian reports speak most highly. On the rare acre-
alone when, favoured by the ground, the Austrians have
succeeded in creasing bayonets, they have always had
the advantage. The checks suffered by the Austrian
cavalry must also be principally attributed to the new
weapon. The Prussian horse have adopted the tactics of
awaiting the charge of the Austrian squadrons, and covering
them with a well sustained fire from their needle carbines.
They kill thus a great many men and horses, and only put
themselves in motion when they see the enemy beginning
to hesitate, and so presenting themselves within reach
under circumstances naturally unfavourable."

TO THI IDRos OP TAX IMPRZOO.

STR,—In your report of this case in your paper
of to-day, you have given an account of the motion made
on behalf of Mr. Sothern on Mr. Robertson's affidavit, and
you have given the substance of the paragraphs relating to
a conversation alleged to have taken place at my chamber,
between Mr. Robertson, Mr. Weldon, and myself.
The meeting in question took place (as did a previous
one at which Mr. Robertson was not present) by s
ment between Mr. Capel, the solicitor, myself, aiirTdur
Weldon, who was a client of Mr. Capel, and had requested
him to undertake the rose.

~I
desire most
distinctly to state that the oonversatice
which then took place does not resemble that stated in the
affidavit in any material particular, except in the reforms
made by Mr. Robertson to the brief in " The Queen v.
Coleman," as containing the letters in which he (Robert-
son) had volunteered his evidence to Mr. Coleman, to-
gether with that evidence itself.
These letters have been seen by Mr. Sothan's legal
advisers.—l am, toe.,

CHURCH RATE ABOLITION.

The Tines hopes Mr. Gladstone's bill will be passed by
• sort of general consent in the House of Commons, and
encounter no adverse reception in the House of Lords. It
is generally felt that the whole sting of the present law
lies in the nominal power of compulsion, and this is re-
moved by the first clause of Mr. Gladstone's
bill. The part of the bill directed towards ex-
cluding dissenters, or those who object to the
payment of the rate under any circumstances, from
having • voice in raising or administering funds for
ecclesiastical purposes will have to be carefully considered;
and the Times, for its own part, thinks the less church-
men look to such artificial guarantees or counterpoises
the better. They will probably gain much more by simply
abandoning coercion than they can secure by any legal
agreements. At the same time, as we have said, the bill
is a matter of compromise, and we presume each side
must obtain something in the form of a concession.
The Herald describes the bill as one for the total and
unconditional abolition of church rates, and as opposed to
the very principle of en established church. Churchmen
must be blind indeed who believe that it can be calculated
to nerve the interests most dear to them, or to secure a
peace which will never be granted until the church has
been despoiled of everything which can tempt the cupidity
or provoke the envy of her enemies.

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.

FLORENCE, MAT 8, Evirintal

In the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon the
bill empowering the government to provide by
royal decree for the maintenance of public safety
throughout the kingdom, came on for discussion.
The Minister of the Interior said the govern-
ment accepted the proposal of the committee,
but that should the extraordinary powers granted
by the bill be found insufficient, they would de-
mand additional powers.
The government desired that the parliament
should sit as long as possible in order to divide with
them the responsibility in the present national
crisis. . .

The Chamber finally approved two articles of
the bill. The debate will be continued to-morrow.

KARL BLIND
BD SIAARCK. AN THE ATTACK ON COUNT
I

The family of Karl Blind have been profoundly
afflicted by the intelligence of the last few
days from Berlin. The earliest telegrams
stated that Count Bismarck's assailant, who
has since died, was a son of Karl Blind ; and sub-
sequently others have been received denying the
relationship. In truth, he was the son of Mrs.
Blind by a former husband, but has borne his step-
father's name. He was 22 years of age, and left
England four years ago, but paid a visit to
this country two years since. When here ho was
a rifle volunteer, and won a prize at Wimbledon.
For the last two years he has been study-
ing political economy at Hohenheim in Wir-
temberg. His family had so little reason
to suppose that he was engaged in desperate pro-
jects, that they were expecting shortly to see him,
having lately received a letter announcing that he
was coming to England. In the absence of direct
and authentic information they can only suppose
that, living in that part of Germany where Count
Bismarck is hated perhaps more intensely than
anywhere else on earth, he was carried away by
the political influences that surrounded him, and
led to commit an act to be reprobated by all
honourable men, and regretted by none more than
the patriot whose name he had been permitted to
bear.—Daily News.

The North German Lloyd's steamer America,

Cowes, with 295 passengers for this port, Havre,
and Bremen, and 3,500 dole. for Bremen.
On the 28th lilt. she spoke the screw steamer

Her news has been anticipated.

THE ABYSSINIAN CAPTIVES.
The following telegram has been received at the
India-office :

" Sir Bartle Frere to Lord de Grey.
" Bombay, May 8, 9 p.m.

"Colonel Merewether, at Aden, on the 28th of
April, reports that Mr. Rassam and the released
captives are all well at Kooats (1) and preparing for
their journey to the coast."

The IneMpendetnee Beige says :—" The speech at
Auxerre has produced in Paris, and will certainly produce
throughout the whole of Europe, a profound sensation.
Public opinion is excited, and the reserve with which the
independent journals discuss the subject, shows that the
meaning of the imperial protest against the treaties of 1815,
under existing circumstances is understood by everyone.
The commentaries of the officious press are not of a
nature to diminish the impression created. The
Constiretionnet maintains that Prussia and Germany
are equally entitled with France to repudiate
those treaties. The Pays says that the Auxerre speech
has made the heart of true France vibrate with patriotism,
and that this patriotism consists in the recollections of
the heroic past which the Emperor has evoked and in con.
fidenoe of the future of the nation committed to the firm
and wise bands of Napoleon the Third. These considera-
tions, says the bedipeadanse, are not calculated to inspire
confidence in the future which is referred to. The
Auxerre incident seems to give the coup de grdee to the
hopes of peace which, in spite of the probability of an im-
mediate explosion, were still entertained."
The Emperor Francis Joseph has expressed a
wish to meet Napoleon 111. and confer with him upon the
state of Italy and the contingencies that may arise in the
course of the war. The proposal, however, was not enter-
tained at Paris.

lb-day, in the Chamber of Representatives,
M. Coomans asked if it were true that the govern-
ment shortly intended to demand fresh credits

tary measures. The Minister of Finance replied
that, if unhappily it became nebessary to request
an extraordinary, credit for the national defence,
he should state the measmes proposed by the
goverdineut whelk demanding the credit. But np
to the present the government had no such re-
quest to make, and consequently nothing to reply
on the subject.

SPAIN.
IMPORTANT FINANCIAL BILL.
MADRID, MAT 8.

In to-day's sitting of the Congress Marshal
O'Donnell brought forward a bill empowering the
government to collect and employ the taxes should
the budgets of revenue and expenditure not be
definitively voted by the 30th of June next.
The bill also proposes a gradual reduction in the
salaries of government officials, with the exception
of the military, and economies are to be introduced
generally throughout the whole public service.
The government further requests authority under
this bill to effect a settlement with the holders of
the Certificates for the interest of the Spanish debts
not comprised under the law of 1851.
The amount appropriated for the annual redemp-
tion of the Passive Debt is to be increased.

The government also ask authority to issue bonds
at 3 per cent. to a sufficient amount to produce 60
millions of dollars in specie, and finally to be em-
powered to increase the naval and military forces
of the kingdom in case of need.
The bill created a great sensation in the house.

Italy will commence hostilities, and that a direct
understanding is unattainable between these
powers. Under these circumstances a Congress
would be both possible and desirable.

HONE MISSIONARY Sociierv.—The 47th annual
meeting of this society was held last evening at Poultry
Chapel ; Mr. Samuel Morley in the chair. The report
stated that the society occupied 164 mission and evangeli-
cal stations, and there had been an increase of 48 agents
since the year 1859. The field of the society's operations
included 710 villages and hamlets, situate in 37 counties in
England. The mission churches reported 5,000 members
in Christian fellowship, 800 having been added during the
present year. These churches supplied 250 voluntary
preachers, and 1900, Sunday school teachers, who in-
structed 15,000 cluldren in the Sunday schools. Be-
sides the circulation of 250,000 tracts, the agents
of the society sold 5,000 Bibles and about
100,000 periodicals, including ninny useful works.
In the evangelistic department of work done there was
much that was encouraging. Sixty-two evangelists had
been constantly engaged among 30,000 families and the
reports from their local superintendents were without ex-
ception of the most satisfactory character. To strengthen
the hands of the agents, the committee arranged for a vi-
sitation of churches and stations by evangelists of large
experience and long standing in the ministry, and their visits
had also been largely blessed. In addition to the evan-
gelistic work, several new missions had been established,
and one or two old wastes restored. To provide additional
means for new undertakings, the treasurer invited deacons
and other friends of the churches in London to discuss the
best means of promoting the success of the society,and the
result of that gathering would add about 2,000/. to the in-
come of the society. The most perfect harmony prevailed
in every department of the society's operations and the
county unions. The report was unanbuiusly adopted.
The Rev. Drs. Vaugham, Halley, Brown, and Ferguson,
and other clergymen addressed the meeting.

Mg, it would not be pomade for Prussia either to

this declaration we must condoer the negotiations for
simultaneous withdrawal of the military preparations fir
Prussia against Austria and of Austria against Prussia to
be exhaust*/ The solemn awareness needs by mi at
Berlin end Fraakfort establish the feet that Pravda has
no offensive movement to apprehend from us, and filer- '
many no breach of the Federal peace. Austria has equally
little intention of attacking Italy, although the severance
of a portion of her territory from her forms the programme
openly avowed by the Italian government at every upper.
tunity. On the other land, it is our duty to take messorse
for the defence of the monarchy, and if the government of
Prussia sees in our defensive measuresagainst flays motive
for keeping up its own preparation' for war, it only re-
mains for us to fulfil this duty, which admits of no
—jun control, without being drawn into further discos-

lions respecting the priority or the extent of separate mai-
tary arrangements. The Prussian government farther arm-
not oonoeal from itself the fact that we have to secure not
only the integrity of our own empire, but also the tear ,
tory of the Germanic Confederation, from an attack of .
Italy ; and we ere compelled in the interests of Germany
to ask seriously how Prussia is able to reconcile her de.
mend that we should leave German frontiers unguarded
with the duties of • German power. When, lastly, Count
von Bismarck informs us that Prussia has called *pm the
Saxon government to dissantinne its armaments, we are
forced to express our conviction that the King of Saxony,
equally with the Emperor our most gracious master,
thinks only of necessary self-defence, and is sustained by
Federal treaties which render the prevention of a breach of
the peace obligatory upon every member of the Confedera-
tion. Your excellency will communicate these remarks
to the President of the , Ministry of the King, and may
consider yourself empowered to leave with him a copy of
the present despatch.—(Signed), Dintsnoarr.

place before the residence of Count von Bismarck
in celebration of his recent escape from the hands
of the assassin. About 2,000 persons were present,

FRANCE AND THE TREATIES OF 1815.
PARIS, MAY 9.

The Constitteticvanel of this morning publishes
an article in which it denies that the speech of
the Emperor at Auxerre is an encouragement to
the ambition of Prussia. The writer says :—" The
object of France is neither to serve the ambition
of Prussia nor Italy, but to assure her own dignity
and security. The programme of France is known
and has just been repeated. It lies wholly in these
words—reform of the treaties of 1815. Any enter-
prise not directed towards this object will find her
not indifferent but attentive, vigilant, and resolute.
The speech at Auxerre is not therefore a compro-
mise with the various interests agitating Germany,
but a last appeal to the wisdom of the siguitaries of
the treaties of 1815 on behalf of the peace and secu-
rity of Europe. It is for them to consider if it
would be expedient to leave to the chances of war,
always uncertain and formidable, that general re-
form which France wished to see carried out in
peace and by means of a friendly understanding."

LCCII)BIVT.

An unfortunate occurrence took place at Lyons,
three days back on the occasion of a fete given in aid of •
benevolent institution. Everything passed off favourably
until the running fora military steeplechsee, in which
started six officers : Lieutenant Mousey, of the 6th
Lancers ; Lieutenant Riquet, of the 7th Lancers • Viscount
Lejeaa, de Moismont, M. de Belfortes, and IL de
lifohenec, all lieutenants in regiments of the garrison. An
artificial river was got over without difficulty, but in
inan Irish bank, which the six competitor' reached
in a cluster, the horse of M. Riquet, which was leading,
stumbled and fell, and in a moment three others, imme-
diately following, had rolled over the first and the four
with their riders were lying in a heap. The spectators
rushed forward to extricate the unfortunate men, when
Lieutenant Mousey was found to have been killed, having
his skull fractured ; the chest of Lieut. Riquet was crustad
by his horse falling on him, and that officer is now lying
in a most dangerous state • M. de Belfortde had a leg
broken, and the forth, Viscount Lejeas escaped uninjured;
one of the horses was also Idlled. M. de Moismont
and M. de Beehenec leaped safely, and the race was won
by the former. The remark was afterwards made by seve-
ral persons that the obstacle had been disposed in such a
wanner as to be dangerous, but this could hardly have
been the case, for in a previous race fur gentlemen riders
not the slightest accident had occurred, and the officers
themselves had during the preceding week exer-
cised their horses in jumping the bank. The competi-
tors, stimulated by the applause of the spectators,
bad probably arrived at the spot with a rush,
and one fall having taken place, the other riders were
unable to check their horses or to turn them aside.
Lieutenant Mousey had only been recently promoted, and
from his pay helped to support his aged mother, who
resides at Valence (b
sides Re had also invited his sister
to witness the race, and she was one of the first to learn of
the disaster. Lieutenant Riquet had recently been trans.
ferred from the Chanseurs d'Afrique, and had taken a very
active part in organising the fete. Although he is in a
most serious condition, there are yet some hopes of his
recovery.—Gotigaani.

Hay (conservative). Mr. R. Thompson proposed, and Mr.
Handson seconded the hon. baronet, and he was declared
duly elected, and returned thanks at some length, touching
noon the various political topics of the day. With refer-
ence to the German and Italian question he trusted that
the policy of our government would be dignified, but that
we should not be led into war by the complications which
might arise.

ABOLITION BILL.

The Transubstantiation, &c., Declaration Abolition Bill,
the second reading of which was moved by Mr. Coosa,
called Mr. Whalley to his legs, and the hon. member made
• characteristic speech, aimed at the influence of the So-
ciety of Jesus, who, he declared, were at the bottom of
every mischief afflicting the British empire, and had oven
instigated the late rebellion of the natives of New
Zealand against the supremacy of the mother country.
He had given notice of an amendment to read
the bill a second time six months hence, but he
finished his speech, which was well laughed at by
the Roman catholic members, without making the
motion. Mr. C. Forteseue and the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer having expressed the thorough approval of
the government of the bill, Mr. Nowdegate administered
• sharp rebuke to Mr. Whalley, who, he said, was always
playing into the hands of his opponents. He warned the
hon. member, if he were really • protestant and sincere
that he was damaging the interests and misre-
presenting the feelings of the protestant people of the
country, and bringing into contempt in that house
feelings which were deeply and sincerely entertained by a
large number of his fellow-countrymen. With regard to
the declaration which it was proposed to repeal, it was in
his opinion no more than a reasonable one to be required
from any man who took office under a protestant sovereign.
Mr. O'BEIRNE having thrown out a challenge to Mr.
Whalley to substantiate the allegations he had made, the
motion for the second reading was agreed to.
The Exchequer and Audit Departments Bill was read a
third time and passed.
The other business on the paper was disposed of, and
The house adjourned at a few minutes to 12 o'clock.
