THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 4, 1861.

where be add eia=crated statements were made with
respect to the management of the compety's vessels.
Mr. doe complaupll of the suspension of the hi-monthly
mail as calculated to create incoovenieoee and injury as re-
enental trade. He thought the pest-office had com•
witted a great error in taking that step.
The ('H situ tY remarked that the suspension referred to
wee entirely the art of the government, whose object was
purely postal, 004 who dill 0.6 take into account the trade.
Mo far as tto• company wee concerned, it was of very
1 little consequence whether they carried the mail once a
month or twice a mouth.

Mr. HADOW said the moieties at Calcutta did not iocluda
many of the leading name, of the presidency. The
corephiet• mad* were quits unjustifiable. As re.
paled the mail the delay of which was dwelt upon
at the meetius, it actually arrived at home on the very
day lined by the contract.. AU complaints with regard to
aceceomodatioe proceelod from outward, am' out from
homeward, pameneern, the former, be supposed, being un-
happy at leaving home, mad the latter happy because they
' were coming home. (Laughter.) A memorial was to be
sent home,and the hoard would be quite prepare! to meet it.
Mr. Lamm believed the complaints extended to almost
every-thin
Mr. HADOW mil they did ; adding that one gentleman's
complaint wee that he did not get sufficient moat on the
Voyage.
e reply to a questing,
Mr. ADow stated that the board had determined to
make the screw a fixed one, thus avoiding the bumping of
the shifting anew.
The CHAIRMAN remarked that the Post-office authorities
had frequently expressed satisfaction at the manner in
which that company's postal service had been performed.
After some further discussion the report was agreed to,
and the meeting terminated in the usual reamer.

Count Ile Morny, three evenings back, gave a
brilliant dramatic tower, at which the ministers, chief diip
nitaries of state, and the most distinguished members of the
political and fashionable world of France were present
The pieces performed were all by M. do St. Remy, being
Le Mori sepia It gavots, an operetta brought out at the
Boatfes-Parisiens ; a proverb entitled iSUr to arantrroutt,
played by Millie. Madeleine &chap and Breveant, of the
Theatre Francais ; and lastly, another operetta, named
Y. illitosjfeeri c&i: dui, performed by the actors of the
Bouffee.

THE IRISH LIBERALK—After referriug to the
want of a goodumlerst►ndisg and cordial union between the
Irish liberal members and the government, as shown in the
late division, the French official journal goes on to say
" This state of things is the result of a system adopted by
one of the last lords-lieutenant. This system reduces the
viceroy to a political cypher, in order to prepare the way
for abolishing the office. Ile has therefore ceased to as-
courage and direct the liberals of Ireland. What is the re.
cult ? The weakening of the liberals in Ireland has done
detriment to the English liberals. Parliamentary. govern-
ment is in fact mainly based oo well-marked divisions of
opinion. Considering the incessant and growing pro.
gress of the ultramontanes, who tend to unite themselves
with their old enemies the Tories, it is high time for the
Cabinet to come to a fresh understanding with the men who
err with it in Ireland.-- ilosirese.

'Pin Novo AND THE DERBY. —No large stakes
have been won, but a curious on die is circulated among
persons competent to express an opinion that the Pope of
Rome has landed n good stake. It is ktiown that the
colonel 111 a staunch adherent of the HAMAR Catholic
Church, and it is said that during a sojoura this winter
with hie Holiness, be put the Pontiff "on eta good price !
At all trews, the Pope and the oolooel are intimate
friends, and the report is by no moms regarded ass canard.

GSSEL FROM THE CONPLDERATE STATIN. —The
first vessel that hasarrived in the Clyde with a cleamoce from
the confederate states is the Montezuma, of Liverpool.
N.S., Captain Sulu, which reached the river a couple of
days ago from Savannah with a wgo of timber. Her clear.
ance is dated " at Savannah, the tand day of April, in the
year of our Lord 1861, and the first year of the independence
of the Confederate Slates of Anerira." The form of clear.
awe is that of the Federal government, the words " United
States of America" being camfally deleted, sad those in
italics substituted insteed.—Oressee* Advertiser.
UNIVERSITY Eim-riciits BlLL—This bill has
been materially altered by the select committee. An
elector is to be allowed to vote by • voting paper only by
nominating other electors, one of whom must deliver his
voting paper for him at the poll and declare that he is per-
Penally acquainted with the voter and believes the voting
paper to be genuine.
AI VI DENT PROM EXPLOSION Or NAPHTHA.—On
Friday last, a young man named Thomas Kitchen, son of a
manufacturer of naphtha at the Hithe, Colchester, expe.
rimmed a marrow escape from venues if not fatal injury.
He was is the cellar of his father's house boring, with a
thick red hot p. pipe, a hole le as empty rum punchers
which had hem need for the pewee of holding naphtha,
when the meow vapour isehmily exploded with a loud
report, and drove oat the bead of the reek, which recoiling,
struck him violently on the forehand sad caused a severe
reap wound. His left shoulder arm also much contused.
The cellar was instantly filled with smoke, from which the
injured man managed to emerge in a half stupified end ex-
hausted state. Mr. Brough. surgeon, East Hill, was promptly
is aMeedases, sad administered aims restoratives., and
ender his advise be was removed to the Colchester Hospital,
where we hear he is recoverial. —Bases Hersdif.
Dirwaramoit 1N THZ BILK TRADE—It is with
gasp regret we learn that during the last two months
.great
depression has prevailed in the silk weaving bosom's,
the staple produce on which so large a proportion of the
industrious population of Braintree and flocking depend;
sad it is easy to conceive the distress and destitution
that must prevail in their homes, when the bands accus-
tomed to earn by their labour the daily breed of the
=laderat families are compelled to remain unwillingly
It is computed that there are at this time MO
minas to work, and hungering is the cottages, who can.
est obtain means of employment to sire a penny ; and ea
the role el the poor law—necessary as a groom] regulation,
but which operates sternly and severely in such a case as
this—denies the able.bodied of these suffering people any
relief except in the union workhouse, it becomes absolutely
requisite that something should be done to afford them pre-
snit succour and prevent the break* up of their homes.
There is little hope of a revival in the trade for two or
three months to come. Essex

Tee CORN' Csors.—Thkse crops in West Kent
have (says the B,,estA Eastern Gazette) greatly improved
lately, especially the spring *own, the growth of which in
the last few days has been remarkable, and after the
assessable shower. of Sunday afternoon a coctanuance
of We ratisfactory progress may be reasonably expected.
The melting of trefoil and manfoin for bay will be begun
this week. Is Fist Kent also every desaiptioo of corn is
stated to he progressing satisfactorily. Near Canterbury
some of the wheat IS fast coming into ear. In some places
the wheats an looking thin but healthy. Barley generally
is said to be a good plant and healthy. Oats bare been
much eaten with wire worm ; beans in most cases are look-
hig thin and unkindly, while peas are very promising.
Clover and hay look light, but are likely to prove an average
crop.
Tee Farrr Caor.—A correspondent at Water-
*bury says : There will be a short crop of gooseberries this
year ; and a shorter one of black currants, of which, in-
deed, there will be less than for moon yeers past. Of red
and white currants, however, there will be an abundant
supply. Of filberts there will be a alight, acid of cob-nuts
• fair crop. Of the backward sorts of cherries there is the
prospect of an average, and apples are looking exceedingly
well where there is bloom. —BortA iselern Onzette.

Tan WEATHER-
AND TEI Coors.-43intie our laid
the weather has been somewhat changeable, but, on the
whole, extremely fine. Showers have Mks dnring the last
few days, but partially. Rain is wanted and would do a
vast deal of good ; still, vegetation goes on tepidly, and the
appearance of the crops has greatly improved. A steady
fall of rain would, however, he extremely serviceable, and
appearances indicate that it is at Imo& On the whole the
month of May baa proved of a moat seasonable character
sad thoroughly spring-like. —Sower Ailrertiser
A Nzw Aswan' or DR. JOHN/It/N.—Be was
very curious to see the manner of living and the discipline
on board a ship of war, sad when my father was appointed
to the command of the Ramifies, of seventy•four guns, and
to sail with the command of a squadron for Gibraltar, at the
time whets a war with Spain was expected, Johnson went to
Portsmouth, and passed a week on board with my father.
He inquired into everything, made himself very agreeable
to the °Moen, and was much pleased with his visit. When
he was conveyed on shore, the young officer whom my
father had meet to accompany him asked if he had any fur-
ther corearada. "Sir," mid Johnson, " have the good-
am to Moak the commodore and all the officers for
their Waders to me, aod tell Mr. -- (the And. lieutenant)
that I beg he will leave off the pra'tice of swearing." The
young man, willing, if possible, to justify, or at least ex-
cuse, his superior, replied that, unfortunately, there was no
making the sailor, do their duty without using strong lan.
gunge, aunt that his Majesty's /terries required it. "Then,
pray, air, • answered Johnson, "tell Mr. that I be-
seech not to use ono oath morn than is absolutely re-
quired for the service of his Majesty."—Autotiogrephy of

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Ware the Jo* Ordisary.)
MILLI V. lOUS.

The plitiormw, lire. AntOnla.sMills, Nought a judicial
aeparaticie on the pound of adultery. She was represented
by Dr. aad Mr. Mundell; but the respond-
ante did not appear.
The parties were 'married at Vienna on the 3rd of Nov.,
105 ; but in the year 1537, the respondeot went away, and
formed an adulterous connexion with another woman, by
whom he had had children. The petitioner did not hear say--
thing of him again till 1337,when she found that he was resi-
ding near Melun, in France. Though the respondent was
thus charged with desertion as well as adultery, the petitioner
only asked for a judicial separation, the indissolubility of
marriage being • tenet of the Roman catholic church, of
which she was a member. She was the daughter of • pro-
fessional man named Kriel, and since her husband had
quitted her she had lived with her father. The evidence had
been taken by a commission addressed to the Tribunal de
Premiere Justice, at Melon.
The Court took time to consider the evidence.
