The respondent, Mr. Charles Hurst Gardner of Burton
Braddock, afterwards of CDSID-hOWIO, Taunton. awl other
places married Miss Nottley in Deceber, 1817. There
been m '
five children, but the parties did not agree
very well. There were various temporary separations,
but the cotabitaticii was not finally put an cud to till
1866. The petitioner prayed for a dimnltition of her
marrige on the ground of her husband's cruelty,
desertion, and adultery with no fewer than eight
different perrous, two of whom were sisters.
The rerpondent (who appeared in person) pleaded
a denial, and various matters amounting to provo-
cation and cruelty. There was, however, no defence at
all ; and a letter was put in which he had written to his
wife offering to withdraw his opposition to her suit if she
would give him 264

tion of his conjugal right& The respondent pleaded im-
potency in bar, and prayed for a decree of nullity. The
came wee the very next which stood for trial when Sir C.
Crewmen met with his fatal accident. The parties after-
wards made up their disputes and came together again,
but again separated. The respondent was now charged
with having committed adultery with ono Schiff, with

GREAT FIRE AT DULWICH.

Shortly before 12 o'clock last night a fire broke
out on the premisee of Mr. Dawson, brick and tile manu-
facturer and contractor, of Dulwich. The factories were
very extensive, and were fitted up with steam power, and
filled with manufactured and partially finished goods.
As was the custom, the day hands left off work and only
the usual night bands were kept on the premises. One of
three suddenly noticed that a stack of straw, in the
back of the buildings, had taken fire ; and at
the same moment he saw fire issuing from the
counting-house, the boiler-house, and engine-house,
as well as the general offices and stables.
In the last-named compartments wore sixteen valuable
horses, and a little further to the north were a number of
pigs and a large number of fowls, ducks, and geese.
These were fortunately saved, but three of the horses were
burnt to death.

Two of the Metropolitan brigade engines were soon in
attendance, under the command of Mews. J. and G.
Jcrrurd, and these were followed by Mr. Hewett, of
Larkhall-land, Clapham, and his volunteer firemen, with
a land steam engine. By this time buildings
covering exactly 444 feet in length, and in some
parts three floors high, were in a general blase.
Several other engines soon afterwards arrived, and the
one from Watling-street, in ploughing its way across one
of the newly-made roads, overturned, and threw the fire-
men upon the ground. Mr. Hutchins, one of the engi-
neers, was badly injured by the wheel of the engine
passing over his leg. By dint of great exertions on the
part of the firemen and the salvage corps, the dames
were entirely extinguished before 7 o'clock this morning.
It is said that the amount of damage will exceed several
thousand pounds. The property covered several acres of
ground.
The following is a copy of Captain Shaw's official re-
port :—" Lordship-lane, Dulwich.—Mr. Dawson, patent
brick and tile manufacturer—' brick building of two floors
60ft. long and 70ft. broad, used ass boiler and engine-house,
offices and stabling burned down and roof off. A brick and
timber building of three floors 240 feet long and 34 feet
wide, wed as drying-houses, machine-rooms, and dwelling
house about 60 feet severely damaged by fire and part of
roof burned off, all adjoining and communicating. Three
horses burned to death."

Tall IRVIN 1111701111 SILL.

In the opinion of the Time, the most malignant
demon could not have devised a greater humiliation than
that which this unfortunate ministry have voluntarily
taken upon themselves. Every principle, every maxim
upon which they took office has been violated.
The Sootch county franchise has been settled
on another bans than that of rating ; seven
English boroughs have disappeared ; in all important
boroughs the rectification of boundaries has been
refused ; and now, despite their argument while in oppo-
sition that any measure of reform, sanctioned by parlia-
ment, must be complete, the distribution clauses of the
Irish Reform Bill have been deliberately cut away. The
conservative ministry, having abandoned every part of
their cargo piece-meal, and at last cut away their masts,
are getting into harbour, where their crazy vessel may be
broken up. Everything has been lost, not excepting honour.
It is impossible not to feel some relief that the end is so near.
It is an "awful dispensation" that the Constitutional
party should be represented by a body of gentlemen who
build up principles only to abandon them, and who re-
pudiate with unruffled composure any professions, how-
over loudly advanced, which may happen to become in-
convenient.

Though admitting that the policy of the Irish members
in suggesting the postponement of redistribution in Ire-
land until neat year may be brought into question,
inasmuch as there are some advantages to be gained
while Mr. Disraeli's desire to retain power mitigates
his obstructive tendencies and secures the House
of Lords, the Daily News nevertheless describes the
government plan as, perhaps, the most injudicious
and least efficient that even a tory chief secre-
tary could elaborate. Lad night another Dianelien
"vital principle," that by which Mr. Gladstone was
thwarted in 1866, went overboard. However, as Mr.
Disraeli observed, with happy apprehension of his own
character, "The opinions of individuals change in a very
remarkable manner." And the House of Commons
laughed, after its bad. The Deily Neat thinks that the
arguments by which Mr. Fortescue supported his motion
were very good reasons for giving the Queen's University •
member of its own, but scarcely meet the objections that are
advanced against the grouping plan, and it may be the inte-
rests of the Queen's University willnot stiffer in thelong run
by the delay. The interval of the recess will give time for
the preparation of a complete and reasonable redistribu-
tion scheme for Ireland, and in any such scheme the
claim of the Queen's University must be considered.
The Ater, in referring to the discussion on the disfran-
chisement of Irish freemen, says that some words uttered
by Mr. Gladstone were treated by the ministerialiste, as
their murmurs showed, as a sort of adhesion to the bal-
lot. However interpreted, it was equally unanswerable
as a condemnation of the freemen system. Unanawer-

able, that is, except by an ignorant and obstinate •ote.

MR. E. M. BARRY AND MR. STREET.

Ws hear that the decision respecting the
new law courts is not to pass unchallenged.
Mr. E. M. Barn's protest will, it is
rumoured, be followed by an application to
have the whole matter referred to a select com-
mittee of the House. A tabular abstract has been
prepared of the points of excellence awarded to
each competitor by the professional judges of the
designs (Messrs. SHAW and PowNALL), which if it
can be taken as correct, places the relative merits
of the several architects in somewhat striking
juxtaposition. In this return Mr. BARRY'S
merits are represented by the figures 41, Mr.
Sc o'rr's by 25, and everyone else, far behind-hand
in the race. Mr. LOCKWOOD has 9 points in his
favour, Mr. WATERHOUSE 6, Mr. Bußais 5,
and Mr. Smarr, against whose appointment by
the Government Mr. BARRY protests, 3. The
particulars by which these results are arrived
at are specifically given in each case,
" General Subjects," " Law Courts," " Judges'
" Chambers," and " other suites of office.," all
having their special works. Under the heeding
"Law Courts," Mr. BARRY is representedas having
17 marks and Mr. Baser 1, while " other suites
"of offices " gives Mr. BARRY 11 and Mr.
Slits= 2 separate units. We cannot pre-
tend to go into these figures, or to vouch
for them in any way ; nor is this
necessary, as the public is evidently doomed to long
professional disquisitions on the subject. The
point raised is, so far as we understand it, that
according to the terms of the contract entered into
between the Government and the competing archi-
tects, Mr. BARRY is entitled to the prize, and
that the award to his friend and rival,
Mr. STREET, is a distinct breach of covenant.
The aggrieved candidate is, moreover, careful to
express his confidence in Mr. STREET'S ability to
design and erect a building worthy of the nation,
and takes his stand solely upon what he con-
ceives to be his right. Altogether it seems as if
the House of Commons would be called upon to
arbitrate in a matter it is eminently unqualified to
decide.

WINDSOR PARK TO-MORROW.

Wa are not disposed to take too literally the
meal complaints of the " badness of the season."
either the look of Rotten-row morning and
'tuning, nor of the principal streets of an after-
noon, nor of the Opera houses three and four
nights a week, nor of the Crystal Palace on the
HAND= Festival days, on the firework evenings,
at the Saturday concerts, and at the occasional
flower shows, seems to justify particularly at this
moment the lamentable reports of slackness of
trade and " nothing doing."
It would not be easy to show that less money
was spent on social luxuries, or that the commerce
which supplies the real and artificial wants of
wealth, and serves as a channel for the distribution
of its fertilising streams, was suffering from the
drought which threatens our fields. Farmers—that
much-abused and long-suffering raoe—and sea-
faring men, who always bewail the way of life they
have chosen, are not the only people in the world
who grumble for grumbling's sake. No doubt the
presenoe of the Court in the midst of our
Society at the time of the year when Parliament
is assembled and all the wealth and rank of the
country are gathered together in London, is a
desirable and proper, if not an indispensable,
contribution to the solemnities of Vanity
Fair. Royalty crowns, so to speak, the
social edifice, as it cements the foun-
dations of the political structure. There
is no flattery in observing that the visible and
constant influence of such a throne as ours is all
for good in a Society which in hastening to bo
rich forgets to be refined, and in vulgarising all
at wealth can buy, loses something of the un-
irchaseable charm of good manners.

. IN -the Rouse of Connors a new writ was
ordered.for North Northamptonshire, in the room
. of MI. Cetera, Ward Hunt, who has accepted the
offieo qf Chancellor of the Exchequer.
LaH STANLEY said in consequence of a com-
mullention ho had received from Mr. Disraeli, now
First, Lord of the Treasury, and who was still in
attendance upon her Majesty at Osborne, he had
to ask the ho,ise to further adjourn until Thursday
next. He added that as early a day as possible
would be given for the debate on the condition of
Ireland.
Mr. GLADSTONE did not think it was usual to
suspend tho business for so long a period es ten•
days merely on account of some few changes in.
the ge. verniuLat. There were, however, special j
grounds in tho gravity and importance of .the
Irish question. They were entitled to ask for
neotber week to consider what course they should
. take In reference to•that question. •

EASTERN AFFAIRS.

It is quite a hopeless task to arrive at any cer-
tainty with regard to the situation of affairs in the
east of Europe. Two days ago there was one of
those occasional disturbances on the Paris Bourse
which give rise to various rumours. It was sup-
posed
that something unpleasant had occurred in
the relations between Russia and Prussia on the
one band, and France on the other. No sooner,
however, has this report been set up than
it is knocked down by La France, which
attributes this monetary disturbance to the
action of speculators. But the aniAtitufiunnel,
which at least is as well inspired as La France,
makes use of the following language, which shows
that there are intrigues going on which are not
consistent with the established order of things.
It says :

Roumania and Servi► have not reached their present
state by their own initiative and action, but by the tree-
ties which the great powers made for them
sad for their interests. The parties to those
conventions cannot allow such arrangements to
be overthrown at the instance of revolutionists, nor
permit the peace of Europe to depend on the good will of
a few leaders of armed bends, and therefore they have
warned the governments of Prince Charles and Prince
Michael, reminding them in a friendly manner of the
dangers to which they expose themselves by intrigues
against the established order of things.

The Romanuf, a ministerial journal of Bucha-
rest, replies to the warning thus given :

Whoa= prevent us from proclaiming our independence?
Will Turkey. Austria, or even France do so! In that cue
would not Russia take advantage of so favocrable an op-
portunity to interfere and bring about a final solution of
the eastern question? No one can seek to stay us,
for any intervention would give rise to a general confla-
gration, which is just what everyone wishes to avoid.
And if we succeed, who can prevent the Servians from fol-
lowing our example ? In that case the Greeks would not
resign themselves to remain as spectators, with folded
arms, of the fortune which favours the bold en the banks
of the lower Danube.

What the French and Austrian press put forward
one day is denied by Russian press of the fol-
lowing, and the governments of Bucharest and
Belgrade give force to the denials of Russia. It is
stated that M. de Moustier at his usual
weekly reception this week gave strong assurances
of the maintenance of peace, whilst we learn from
the same source that brings this information that
the utmost activity prevails throughout all the de-
partments of France in the organisation of the
Garde Nationale Mobile, and that the Emperor
learned with satisfaction that his Chassepots could
fire eleven shots to five from the Prussian needle
guns. Truth seems to be just now a shuttlecock,
which is tossed from Paris to St. Petersburg, from
Berlin to Vienna, and not allowed to f►ll near the
ground, so as to be seen by ordinary mortals.

MR. COLERIDGE ON THE IRISH CHURCIi.

MR. Cot ERIDGE' a recent speech at Exeter
contains so many admirable things, restates
old truths with so much freshness, and drives
them home with such power of illustration, that
it is the more important to single out the one
point on which we think he is mistaken. His de-
scription of the Irish Church as " an establishment
" founded in cruelty and bloodshed, fostered and
" protected by a system of persecution so thorough
"going and ferocious as to disgrace human na-
" tore, and now supported by injustice which
" has not been paralleled since the days of
" ADAM ;" his indignant protest that we could
not govern Ireland as we do, "if it were not that
" the English hatred of Popery has for centuries
" blinded the , eyes and hardened the hearts
"of many of the people of this country
" against the cruel injustice that we
" were wreaking upon a sister nation, the chief
" crime of whom ia, after all, that they have
" steadily adhered to that form of Roman Chris-
" tianity which their forefathers professed;" his
contemptuous inquiry whether the Qvwe is not
supreme in all her dominions—in Scotland, where
the Establishment rejects all visible headship ; in
India, where the population is not even Christian ;
in Jamaica, " where the State Church has just
" been disestablished;" in Australia, " where no
" State Church has ever existed ;" these, and
many other passages of the same kind, are ex-
actly what is most wanted in such a campaign as
we are now entering upon. But in the midst of
all this there comes a sentence or two which, that
we may not unintentionally misrepresent the
speaker, we will quote in full :—" I am not, how-
" ever, content to give up what I think the
" beneficial effect of the legal position of the royal
" supremacy in matters ecclesiastical. I am not pre-
" pared for the creation of a great, wealthy, trig*
" educated, powerful, and perfectly unfettered
" religious body in Ireland, and to have the
" scenes of South Africa enacted upon a greater
" scale much nearer home. And at any risk of
" misconstruction I must say that if Mr. GLAD-
" eroax's proposal to reserve three-fifths of the
" endowments of the disestablished body be
" carried into effect, I shall insist with all the
" power I can that the present standards of doe-
" trine, and the present safeguards for toleration
" and liberality of opinion, shall remain with th
" endowments.".

Upon this we have two criticisms to make. In
the first place, the retention of a modified royal

THE NEW DEAN OF RIPON.

Tits Liverpool Mercury of this morning an-
nounces that the Deanery of Ripon has been
offered to Da. HUGH Pd‘Nzu.s. This selection
may perhaps be considered as a set-off to some
recent appointments which have shaken the con-
fidence of our contemporary, the Record, in the
Protestant convictions of Mr. Dissexu. The
selection of Dr. M'Nsum, however, for the Deanery
of Ripon will not, in fact, alter the balance of
parties in the Church, Once his church principles
are precisely those of his predecessor, Dr. GOODE.
What makes #iis appointment remarkable is that

WIZ TM

or TES

Is it, or is it not, asks tho Timm, a foot that
since the accesies of • ooneervative ministry to power
the process of reducing the national expenditure has
been not only arrested, bet turned backwards ? There
is only one answer to the questios, and every one is
so conscious of the truth that those who would have
it otherwise compare the present expenditure with the
worst years of the " extravagant parliament" in order
to find an excuse for it. Instead of a yearly ex-
penditure falling below the yearly estimates, we have
had to reconcile ourselves to the unpleasant fact of •
yearly expenditure exceeding the estimates. Deficits have
taken the place of surpluses. For reduction of taxation
we have to submit to an increase. Instead of a redundant
exchequer, we are forced to contemplate impoverished
balances. It is unfortunate for Mr. Disraeli that
he has no one who can say a sensible word in
his behalf. His apologists are zealous enough, but
they appear to be deficient in the habits of exactness.
Tho truth is, that extravagance has been winked at right
and left. The answer to all this is that, although mi-
nisters have not proved themselves efficient economists
hitherto, they are now on the high road t• attain that
character. When they bad a reputation to gain in
view of the coming elections they were lavish. Let
them be supported by • majority in November, and they
will prove themselves truly economical. This promise
needs no comment. Such an answer is, indeed, so ludi-
crous that it may be left in all its simplicity to amuse the
world.

I:DUCA/10N 07 WOMEN.

The Council of the British Association are asked to ap-
point a committee to consider how the scientiflo education
of women can be promoted. It is, says the Daily News,
in a wider, more liberal education that the female sex will
find the remedy for that expulsion from the great field of
the world's work of which Miss Becker complains. Let
the faculties of each sex be trained with equal thorough-
ness, and their inherent distinction will come out as
clearly as their essential oneness. Perhaps if the emo-
tional nature of men and the reason of women were more
thoroughly cultivated in their education we might hear
lees of " supposed differences in the minds of the two
sexes of man."

MISSING FACES IN THE NEW

PARLIAMENT.

SOME familiar races will be missed in the New
Parliament, faces of men of business, an order
of men of whom this country is so justly proud.
" What is business ?" asks Rene de Chaney,
the poor and ingenuous youngnobleman in La Ques-
tion d' Argent of Jean Oiraud, the parvenu finan-
cier. " Business," replies Jean, " simply means other
" people's money." We daresay there will be no
lack of men of business of this kind in the next
House of Commons, but one or two of the celebri-
ties of a past era will be found no more on the
benches or in the lobbies of the House. Among
others, the Conaervative member for Kidder-
minster, who succeeded to Mr. Lows as
the representative of that pure but some-
what vehement constituency, will not, it
seems, make his appearance on the hustings,
where his presence would be eagerly hailed by a
vast number of, we were going to say, his coun-
trymen ; but, not to put too fine a point on it,
by a vast number of his admirers from all parte of
the country, eager to learn from hie lips how
financial beanstalks grow in a single night.
Mr. Chaperons will look in vain for the
pleasing form and figure of that eminent
member of the constitutional party, that cosmo-
politan defender of the Throne, the Church, and
the Constitution, who, on one occasion, assured
the Liberal leader, in a tone of indulgent regret,
that he had, from his boyhood up, watched his
career with admiring sympathy. Another con-
spicuous absence will probably be that of the
Adullamite member for Lambeth, whose engage-
ments at Brussels appear to be of a nature
to detain him in England, but whose " public
" worlpi" in the Belgian capital are as imperfectly
appreciated by his English as by his Belgian
constituents.

SOUTHWARK.

Edward Brow*, a rough-looking fellow, wan charged
before Mr. Burcham with cruelly beating a horse belong-
ing to James Wilkinson, a mleanum of the Borough
ILarket. _ . .

Mr. Edwin appeared on behalf of the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to prosecute.
Mr. David Neale, a wine merchant, residing in the
Dover-road, said about one o'clock in the afternoon he
wee in the Old Kent-road, and saw the prisoner, much
the worse for drink, driving a horse and cart towards the
Borough. He had hold of one of the reins with his left
hand, and with the other had a bushel basket, which he
struck the horse with in a meet brutal manner about the
hind quarters, at the same time kicking it with his right
foot in a savage way. He continued this shameful treat-
ment for over 200 yards, the horse evidently being in the
utmost pain, and scarcely able to crawl along. Witness
followed and saw him pull up at a public-house, and
finding the poor animal had been moat dreadfully used,
he gave information to the police, and prisoner was taken
into custody.
Mr. Frederick Stanley said he was aveterinary eurgeon,
on business m Montague-street, Borough. Ho
was called to examine the horse, which he found had been
ill-bested in a manner worse than he ever remembered.
It was literally covered with bruises, some as large as a
dish, while the skin in many places was broken and cut as
though by kicks. There were lazEiswellings and bruises
caused by violent blows on the si under the belly, and
between the flanks, while nearly over the back and
legs were marks of a savage use of the whip. The off
kind shoe was gone, and the heof so worn down to tho
sensitive partund. that the animal could scarcely put its log to
the gro
M.r. Burcbam—Were the swellings you speak of the
result of violence ? _ .

WiiieseLiiiiiinut doubt, your worship, and in most
instances were two inches out from the surface.
Mr. Edwin said he had been instructed to state that the
horse had been driven all the way from Crawley. which
was a distance of nearly 30 miles, and evidently the shoe
spoken of had been off a considerable portion of the way.
Mr. Burchani—What have you to say to this charge
Prisoner (in a very indifferent tone)—l don't think I
did more to the horse than necessary.
Mr. Burcham (with much warmth)—l have a great
mind to send you to prison without the option of paying a
fine. A more brutal case of cruelty to a horse I never re-
member having had before me, while your answer to the
gemakes your conduct even worse. I will teach you
the future that you are not to act in such a disgraot-
ful manner. You must pay a fine of 51., or be imprisoned
with bard labour for a month.

The prisoner, who seemed astonished at the result, wy
then removed;

SOUTH ILASTERN RAILWAY.-(27118 DAT)

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders
was held this afternoon at the City Terminus Hotel; Mr.
Wa7llll, M.P., in the chair.
The report having been taken as reed,
The Causcr.pr, after observing that he was suffering
from indispointen, said the company's affairs were
on belezz
sound con on. Every shilling of interest was
against revenue, and the terminable mortgage land debt
was provided against by a permanent debenture stock.
They were at peace with all their neighbours. The increase
of gross revenue had been 12,0001., while the expenses had
been reduced to the amount of 8,7001. Various circum-
stance", including the Paris traffic, were to be
taken into account in making a comparison ; and the
real permanent 'screams in the ordinary earnings was
equal to 1 per cent. per annum in the dividend-. The
hon. gentleman then entered at great length into the
question of the raising of fares, and contended that the
company had acted not only within their legal rights
bat also consistently with justice. In all businesses a profit
of 6 per cent. was always reckoned upon, and as that
company was only making 2 or 3 per cent. it was
clear that it bed a right to raise the fares, provided it
did not go beyond the maximum allowed by law.
Boon after delivering his speech Mr. Watkin was com-
pelled by the state of his health to retire, being succeeded
by the Hon. James Byng.
After some discussion the report was adopted, and a
dividend at the rate of 2t per cent, per annum declared.
The proceedings terminated in the usual manner.
