him that the busbaod's property would be a material
element in forming a judgment. If a Imbed bad 1,0001.
a year, and a wife 10,000 f., it would be reasonable tint the
wife should make some provision for the children. If the
wife had 1,000/., and the husband 10,0001., it would not
be reasonable. If both had 10,0001., what would be the
ass then?

Mr. Maaisty mid there were many facts to be brought
before the Court, but to which he did not now refer, not
undembseding that the question was at present to be set-
tles].
Sir C. Creuwell--Of course it could not be settled
at that moment. He hoped that before it did come
on the Solicitor-Geseral would advise Lis divot to put
the facts on which he relied in a smaller compass. It ap.
peered to him that the petitioner did nothing but recite the
marriage settlement., and it would take him hours to
awertain from it how matters stood.
The Solicitor. General add his client did not ask for :my
order with respect to the settled property ; he mersti:
referred to the property left Mrs. gurney under her father's
will.

Sir C. Creswell- Then it appears that the gentleman
who settled the petition thought I eras a person of rather
crtrious habits, and that I shoell therefore like to read a
barrage settlement. 1 cannot imagine any other reason
for his inserting it.
The Boli•sitor•Genend undertook that the petitioner
should supply the collie with affidavits more full, sad at
the aime tune more short, than the paper' at present
',Astor* it.

The case was then adjourned.

Sir C. Creaewell ...id he had received a communication

t. add that the rev. gentleman declined to part with the

Sir C. Cromwell intimated that his learned brethren
would be able to attend again on Thursday. Thu only diffi-

Hr. Hall, a solicitor. who wee present, said be should be
happy to transmit the subpsioa to his agent in Liverpool.

NORTH BRITISH .4 USTRALIAN COMPANY.
(THIS DAY.)

The annual fleeting of the proprietors was held
at two o'clock this afternoon.

The Srcaxraar read the report of the directors, the snore
=Aerial part of which was as follows :
" The Accounts.—These are made up, as usual, to the
' 30th June in Australia, and to the 31st December in London.
The result of the year's operations is • net profit on the
revenue account of receipts over expenditure of 13,6011.
Os. 9d., and on the increase of stock of 2,972/. 2a. 3d.
" Dividends. —The balance brought forward of 3671.5. 3d.,
added to the above net profit of 13,6011. Os. 9d., amounts to
13,969/. fts. 2d., out of,which we propose to declare • divi-
dend of 7 per cent., free of income tax.
"The steadily•incressing profits from Rosenthal, and the
varying and often unprofitable results from our outlying
properties, show conclusively the superiority of sheep over
cattle stations, and justify our intentions, as already stated,
of disposing of the outlying stations and concentrating our
'Ai sr ra upon the and extension of our flocks.
ompany's investments necessarily
occupies • considerable time, as opportunities for the eale
of stations do not frequently occur. The proceeds of the
sale of Locbinvar (a station that was always a loss to the
company) are, as now invested, a source of gain, and we
may reasonably expect that as the rest of our unproductive
properties are disposed of, and the proposed reinvestment
of the purchase-money takes place, a considerable addition
will from time to time be made to the profite of the com-
panv. We cannot conclude this report without shortly
pointing out to the shareholders that not only dues the com-
pan) pay a steady dividend, but that within a short period
the value of our head station has been materially increased
by the purchaseof various blocks of freehold land. and that
since 1858 the previous imam on capital account have bees
reduced by • sum at 17,6071. is. 861."

Mr. Turnbull writes to • contemporary :
"'Chat the foreign documents entrusted to me extend
throughout a period when important religious struggles were
going on in the Continent, such ea the thirty years' war and
the drsgonnades of Louie XIV., I admit ; but reference to
these events occur only incidentally in an infinitesimallyanall
number of the papers ; and all papers which immediately
relate to the religions movements in England are now being
eseakereed by the BA.. J. S. Brewer, or have been cata-
logued by Mr. Limon."
On account of the limited accommodation afforded
by the portion churches of Woolwich for the officers, me-
chanics, and /abgerses, now increased to upwards of 10,000
persons, the war department has purchased 700 sesta in the
church of the Holy Trinity, opposite the principal entrance
of the Arsenal, to be appropriated in the following order,
via.:-79 seats in the body of the church for the Royal
Carnage department, and 81 in the galleries ; 75 and 74 for
the Laboratory ; 79 and 81 for the gun factories ; Military
Store department, 12 sad 17 ; the police, 6 ; and cols.
cellaneous, 29.

A Naples letter says :—" A priest named Ciaaone
was amusing himself, while preaching for two Sundays
Villa in the church of the Jesuits, by making political
allusions, in which he compared Victor Emmanuel to Herod,
and Francis 11. to Christ in the Massacre of the Innocent&
He was agreeably surprised the other day to see at the
feet of his chair a bourgeuie muffled up, and appareatly
very devoutly listening to his words, in • kneeling
posture, and at some paces distance half • dollen of car.
bineere, who seemed deeply touched by his moving pennon.
When the preacher had finished, the bourgeois and the ear-
hinters approached Um, and the former opening his shish
showed him • crimson scarf, while the Oben laid their
hands, reran poplar; upon his collar. No one breathed •
word, and M. Queue meditates at this moment on scrape
of eloquence in the custody of the prefect of police."
"On Saturday last," says a letter from Rome of
the 15th, "during the performance of the Troratore, the
weal military chorus was applauded to such • degree that
the police interfered, and went round to several boxes to
take down the wines of the most vociferous spectators,
who were summoned the next day to the pollee-odic%
severely reprimanded, ►nd prohibited from attending any
public place of amusement for three years. Signors Ali-
br•ndi, Sejani, and ten or twelve other frequenters of the
opera, are antozipt the best known of these victims of police
severity. Signor Piperno, a respectable and talented Jewish
gentleman, whilst going out of the theatre with his wife on
his arm, was seised by four gendarmes for the same crime
of having clapped the bandiiro, and carried oft to gaol at
that time of night, to his spouse's infinite consternation
end dismay."

Yesterday evening a general meeting of the
council and members of the Church Institution, comistiag
for the most part of lay repreeentatives from the various
diocese. of Wand and Wales, was held at the Free-
masons' Tavern, Oust Queen-street ; Mr. Thomas Bell,
F.R.S., presided, and there were present the Earl Nelson,
Lord Robert Montagu, M.P., the Hon. P. P. &reverie, Mr.
A. Beresford Hope, Alderman Sir R. W. (hudeo, Kr.
Hamden Palmer, Q.C., Mr. Prideaux. barrister, Mr.
Henry Hod" and other gentlemen. The meeting was
Ten numerously attended.
tux HLPRENZNTATION OF BOLTON. —On Friday
evening a law and influential meeting of the members of
the Reform Registration Association met, in the Tempe.
rauce Hall. Bolton, for the purpose of adopting measures
for filling the vacancy in the representation of the borough,
which will take place on the assembling of whams* in
consequence of the resignation of Mr. Crook. Mr. H-
wood. president of the aaassociation, occupied the chair, end
read a note be had received from Mr. Crook, stating his in-
tention of resigning as soon as parliament meets. It was
then resolved that a requisition should be got up to Mr.
Thomas Barnes, who formerly represented the borough, and
when sufficiently signed by the electors, that the chairman
should present it. On Saturday last the requidtioa wee in
course of signature, and was receiving assay swam
REPRESENTATION or AaanmrmariL —The
Aberdeen Herald of Saturday says : —" We are glad to see
that the liberal cause in Aberdeenshire is sot to he lett is
the lurch after all. The Hon. Arthur Gordon who, owing
to peculiar circumstances, has a much better chance of m-
ewling against the combinations of tory lairds than any
other man in the county, is to come forward as a liberal
candidate. in compliance with a requisition which is now
in the course of signature.
A MAN nozzle To DEATH. —The river has been
so completely frozen over down below Erith that it has
been impossible for I,osts to get ashore, and much miseey
has prevailed among the crews of vessels not provided
with the means of defending themselves against the
rigorous weather. One night hut week, at about ten
o'clock, two seamen belonging to a Norwegian vessel, at
macho, in Long Reach, got into the ship's boat to go ashore
but soon got' ocked op in the ice, where they remAined
until eleven o'clock the next day, when some persons who
had observed the boat remaining stationary managed to
approach it. One msu was found froze, to death in the
boat. sad the other perfectly stiff with cold, though alive.—
