LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lords Justices.)
KNOX Y. GYE-THE ROYAL ITALIAN (TERRA.

Their lordehips delivered judgment in this case, which
was an al,peal from the decisicn of Vice-Chancellor Wood,
before whom the case was originally heard. It was a suit
instituted for the declaration of a partnership between Col.
Brownlow Knox and Mr Frederick Gye, in the Royal
Italian Opera, Covent-garden. Mr Gye denied that a
partnership existed between himself and Col. Knox, and
the Vice-Chancellor decided in favour doof Mr Gye. The
case was taken on appeal to the Lords Justices, and there
argued at great length, but their lordehips reserved their
decision. This morning the lordships gave judgment,
and after going at great length into the complicated matters,
directed the bill to be dismissed with £ h5O costs, without
prejudice to several questions that had been raised during
the arguments.
The result of the judgment, more than likely, will be an
appeal to the House of Lords.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Common Jury,)
13ANCROFT V. BANCROFT.

The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Swabey appeared for the
petitioner, and Mr Chambers, Q.C., Mr Sergeant Ballan-
tine, and Dr. Spinks and Mr Stavely Hill for the respon-

dents.

It will be remembered that this case was part heard on
Saturday, and that it was a suit by Mrs Bancroft for judi-
cial separation on the ground of cruelty, which the respon-
dent, a printer, at Manchester, denied. He had also com-
menced a crosr.suit, in which he charged Mrs Bancroft
with adultery with her own brother-in-law, Mr. Rumney.
The hearing of the case was resumed this morning, when
the following evidencs was adduced on behalf of the
respondent, Mr Bancroft.
Peter Elkington said he was for 14 years foreman to the
respondent. He knew the petitioner's brother-in-law, Mr
Rummy, with whom the adultery was charged, and who
resided near the respondents. After the marriage he had
frequently occasion to go to Mr Bancroft's office, and one
day he saw Mrs Bancroft and Mr Rumney together there,
and his arm was over her shoulder. That was about one
o'clock in the day and three weeks after marriage. On
another occasion he saw them in a kind of kitchen at Mr
Bancroft's and they were sitting on a couch. Mr Rumney
had one arm round Mrs Bancroft's neck and ono hand was
under her clothes. He identified a photographic likeness
of Mr Rumney.
In cross• examination he said he was a married man and
had a family. The marriage took place on the Sal of April,

1863. He was shocked at what he saw between Mrs Ban-
croft and Mr Run:may; he did not mention anything about
it to, until ho heard that he was about to commence a suit
for a divorce. He was engaged in getting up evidence for
Mr Bancroft, and for that purpose went to different brothels
in Manchester. A man named Walker accompanied him
on some occasions, and he was accompanied also by a man
named Spellar. Sometimes Mr Bancroft went with him.
Mrs Catherine Pilkington, wife of the last witness, said
that about a fortnight after the marriage she saw Mr Rum-
ney come to the cite° during the absence of Mr Bancroft,
She was at the house for about five weeks after the mar
riage, and Mr Ramney called three times during that time.
She saw Mr Rumney coming-down stairs on one occasion.
There were four bed rooms upstairs. Mrs Bancroft said
he had been in the closet.

In cross-examination she said that she did not tell her
husband anything about what she had seen for some time
after, and ho said nothing to her about having seen any
kissing.
The case wax proceeding when we went to press.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.

IMPUDENT ItousEity.—John Cooper, a lad, who de.
scribed himself as a maker of paper roses in summer and
working in a brickfield in winter, was charged before Mr
'ryrwhitt with stealing a box of cigars from the shop of Mr
Thomas Clarence, tobacconist, of Church• passage, Picca-
dilly. _ _ .

From the evidence of Mr Clarence, it appeared that a

little after nine o'clock last night the prisoner stepped a
short distance into his shop and then stye! shed out his hand
and drew from the counter a box of cigars, and ran, out of
the shop. Ho pursued the prisoner, and caught him with
the box under his arm. On stopping the prisoner he threw
the box away, and then made off again, but he succeeded in
catching him and gave him into custody.
The prisoner said he was a maker of paper roses in sum-
mer, and in winter ho was employed in brick making. A
shoeblack gave him the box as ho was passing down Church •
passage. He told the shoeblack he did not want the box,
and struck the shoeblack and then ran away. and after-
wards the prosecutor came up and said he had stolen a box
of cigars.
Sergeant Bason, 12 C, proved taking the prisoner into
custody.

The prisoner wished the 'case settled at once, and Mr
Tyrwhitt committed him for three months with hard
labour.

TIIAMES.

CRUELTY TO AN ANINIAL.—EXTRAORDINARY CASE.--
Mr Mack Ayore, the landlord of the " Crown Tavern," a
public house situate at a place called the Orchard House,
Poplar, appeared before Mr Paget, to answer a summons
taken out by George Young, a constable in the service of
the Royal Society for the Prevention of Crue,ty to Animals,
who charged the defendant with cruelly ill treating and
tot turing a dog, . _

Mr Chqrles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution
for the Royal Society; Mr Gomm appeared for the
defence.

It appeared from the evidence of Alfred Thomas, a
mechanic, that on Tuesday, the 21st of June last, he went
into the parlour of the Crown to obtain some refreshment.
He had a dog with him, which he allowed to run loose
about the house. He was in the parlour 20 or 25
minute when he heard the cries of his dog in the yard.
He hastened into the yard as quickly as possible, and saw
the defendant, who was armed with a thick stick, beating
the dog as hard as he was able. Ho asked the defendant
what he meant by such conduct, and he replied that the
dog had been killing his chickens. The dog was killed by
the defendant.
In cross-examination by Mr Gomm the witness said that
when he first saw the dog in the defendant's yard it was
behind h tub. The defendant said the dog wax not yet
dead, and beat it again with the stick, and flung it on the
ground.

John Patrick, a moulder, state's that he was sitting at
the window of the Crown tavr,in, and heard the cries of the
dog. Ho saw the defendr.4nt beating it unmercifully with
the stick in his hand,

Mr Gomm, in defenco, urged there was no cruelty in the
case, and that the defendant seeing the dog among the
fowls in the yard where his children were playing became
alarmed, and went into the yard, where he found two of his
chickens killed and the children alarmed. The defendant
took up a stick and struck the dog a few blows and killed it.
Three witnesses were called for the defenco, who said no
unncessary cruelty or torture was used, and that the defen-
dant struck the doa three blows and killed it. One of the
witnesses caust,d some amusement by saying that the dog
ate two of '„-ne defendant's fowls, and only left three feathers.
Mr '.eaget thought it strange that a dog should eat fea-
th'as, and the defendant said that the complainant's dog
killed two of his chickens and ate one and a half. The other
half was left.
Evidence was then given that Thomas took two dogs
of the lurcher species into the Crown, and that ho kept one
securely fastened with him in the parlour. The other,
which was represented to be 3 months and 14 days old, was
allowed to range about the premises,
Dlr Paget said this was a very proper prosecution on the
part of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. He thought the defendant was guilty of a very
cruel and a very brutal act, but he believed it was done
hastily and without premeditation. The defence set up was
not creditable either to the defendant or his witnesses. It
was a ridiculous defence. It was very improbable that the
dog that was beaten to death ate the fowls. As to any alarm
for the children it was a trumped up story. He fined the
defendant 20s for cruelty to a dog, to pay 20s compensation
for the loss of the animal, and to pay 25s costs.
The defendant immediately paid the money.

THE CASE OF MRS. YELVERTON.—The further
consideration of this case, which will be the judgment, has
been postponed to Thursday (to-morrow).
A FIGHT BETWEEN AN ELEPHANT AND A BULL.
When the elephant was brought to the Place des Taurean,'
a fiery young bull was turned out. The bull advanced
against his terrible adversary without evincing the
slightest fear. He attempted to flank him in order to
wound him ; but the elephant, exhibiting an equal agility
in his motion, did not suffer him to approach. Finally
the bull attacked him in front ; bat everywhere con-
fronted by the formidable tusks, which interposed an
impregnable barrier, ho did not succeed in wounding
him. At last, in one of the assaults, the bull succeeded
in thrusting his head beneath the tusks; but, before be
could penetrate the tough hide of the elephant, ho fell
to the earth. The spectators only saw the elephant bend
his head slightly, and rest the extremities of his tusks
which had been plugged, upon the back of the bull. From
that moment the bull was hors de combat, and when they
afterwards killed him it was found ~,that three ribs
were completely crushed by the almost imperceptible
movement the elephant had made in holding him with his
tueks.-31adr id p«pcl •

Ireland,

WARWICK, Tuesday.

The annual meeting of this body was opened hero
this afternoon under distinguished auspices. The
inaugural meeting was held at the Court-house,
where a large number of arch re3logists and ladies of
Warwickshire attended. On the platform were the
Marquis Camden, Lord Leigh, the Bishop of Oxford,
Mr Greaves, M.P.. Archdeacon Sandford, Dr Hooke
(Dean of Chichester), DrWhewell (Master of Trinity
C.)!lege, Cambridge), Dr Guest (Master of Gonville
and Camas College, Cambridge), Mr Bracebridge, Mr
Beresford Hope, Sir John Boyieau, and Sir R.
Kirby, C.B.

The Marquis Camden having resigned the post of
president to Lord Leigh, and the Corporation of
Warwick having presented an address of con-
gratulation,
The PPESIDENT-ELECT, (Lord Leigh) delivered
a brief inaugural address. lie considered it a high
honour to be called upon to preside over the deliber-
ations of a society that had saved so many objects
of interest in the country from destruction, and
trusted they should derive great pleasure from their
visit

wowhicb,in the " golden drys," had been visited
by good Queen Bess.

D: WILE WELL and Mr. GREIVES, M.P., added a
few words in commendation of the object of their

meetings.

ness with which the society had been received.
Mr BERESFORD HOPE
Archdeacon SANDFORD acknowledged the kind'
, for the clergy, wel-
comed the society to the diocese of Wor-
cester, and spoke of the valuable services
rendered by arcbeeelogy in the restoration of
the sacred fabrics of the land, not only from ancient
barbarism, but from the Goths and Vandals of
modern times, the mistaken zeal of churchwardens
and clergy, and from utilitarian ee'fishness.
(Applause.)
The Bishop of OXFORD rose to acknowledge the
welcome that had been given to the society by vari-
ous bodies, and particularly by the clergy of the
diocese. Coming there as arcl-, ye )logists, they
looked back and thought of the long roll of worthies
connected with the county that they mighty refer
to. He might begin with the great name of Wul-
stan, than which there was no greater name among
Saxon worthies, end, going rapidly down the list,
they came to a mediaeval name, the great Dr. Parr,
who certainly would have astonished Walstan if
he had seen him. Still further down the list they
found Robert of Chichester—(a laugh)—and, unit-
ingfun, and the great Wulstan crowning all—they
Chichester's
the three together—Pares 'stir,
might well le proud of them. Then the great reign-
ing Abbot of Leigh had received them with more
than abbatial hospitality. It was not only in the
gratification of those who came to these meetings
that they were serviceable, but it was also that they
might engraft on others their peculiar insanity, that
they might, as it were, bite them and make them as
mad as themselves. (Laughter.) Everything, he
would say, that tended to make them live out of the
mere present, and to carry them back to the pest,
had a tendency to carry them on to the future ;
therefore it was not as mere old mites living in some
remote cheese, but as men loving the past and look-
ing on to the future, that they came among them
and heartily thanked them for the reception they
had given them.
Mr BRACEBRIDGE called the attention of the
visitors to a dungeon under the old gaol which had
been visited by the philanthropic Howard.
Mr BLOXSOME gave a short history of the county,
and showed that it had been visited by many
crowned heads—Edward 1., 11., and IV., Richard
I. and 111.,
Henry VII , Elizabeth, James 1.,
Charles I. and IL, William 111., George IV., Wil-
liam IV., and Queen Victoria. Amongst its poets
were Drayton, Shakspere, Somerville, and Walter
Savage Landor, still living. Ho was glad to con-
trast the language of public addresses of the pre-
sent time, such as that they had received from the
corporation of Warwick that day with the language
used in former times. In the reign of Queen Eliza-
beth they would reneambar that the people of Co-
ventry, being told that the Queen admired poetry,
hired a poet to apostrophise her Majesty, and an
address couched in the following terms was pre-
sented to the Queen :

" We men of Coventry
Are very glad tc see
Your gracious Mhjcsty—
Gocd Lord, how fair ye be I"
Our gracious Majesty
To which
,Q, !teen Elizabeth is said to have replied-Is
glad to see
The men of Coventry
Good lack, what fools ye be I".
(Laughter.)
This concluded the formal business of the morn-
ing, and. Mr PETET then read a paper on the painted
glass in the Beauchamp Chapel, after which the
chapel was visited.

To-morrow Warwick and Kenilworth Castles
will be visited'.

CITY SEWEES COMMISSION.

Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, the Commissioners cf Sewers of
the city of London assembled at Guildhall foi the despatch
of business.

att he
A deputation waited upon the Commissioners to urge
v ce
fvn by d
ot
upon them the desirability teffectingi improvement
m
street, so as to widen, that thoroughfare in order to allow of
setting back certain premises
two vehicles passing at the same time. The matter had
south re
been before the court on a previous occasion, and was re-
ferred to the Improvement Committee for consideration and
report. A sum of SI,COO, which was subsequently reduced
to £750, was asked for the ground required to be laid into
the public way, but the Cop missioners considered that the
improvement was not of such a nature as to justify them in
expending that amount out of the rates, but they consented
to subscribe £3OO, if the inhabitants of the locality, who
would chiefly be benefited by the improvement, would sub-
scribe the remainder. Several firms in the neighbourhood
had since agreed to contribute £3OO, and it was now urged
that, as the improvement was one of a public nature, the
Commissioners ought to pay the remainder.
The whole of the circumstances were again laid before the
Commissioners, but the chairman intimated an opinion that,
as they had adopted the report of the Improvement Com-
mittee, and had decided not to contribute a larger sum than
£3OO towards the improvement, notice of motion must bo
given to rescind the decision then come to, before any fur-
ther proposition could bo made, The matter consequently
was allowed to drop.

From the weekly report of Dr. Letheby on the sanatory
state of the City it appeared that 287 houses had been in-
spected since the last meeting, and a list of 117 places was
I submitted for sanatory improvement. Ile also handed in a
list of places requiring further proceedings on account of
orders already issued, but not yet complied with.
The markets and slaughter-houses were duly inspected,
and the officers had seized 6,4771bs of meat as unfit for
human food. It consisted of 25 sheep, 1 calf, 14 pigs, 33
quarters of beef, and numerous joints of meat.
The mortpl:ty returns for the week are a little above the
average for the reason. Last week the number of deaths
was 56, the average for the corresponding
week of the last
8 years being 43, Twenty-two, or nearly half of all the
deaths, were among children of less than 5 year, of age,
and
14 among persons of 60 and upwards. The chief causes of
deal were as follows :—Phthisis 7, pneumonia 2, bronchitis
4, whooping-cough, fever, and diarrheoi, each 1; scarlet
fever 2, and measles 3.
GAS SUPPLY TO THE CITY.
Dr. Letheby, in a supplemental report, stated that the
illuminating power of the gas supplied to the City during
the past week has been in each case above the requirements
of the Act of Parliament, but the average proportion of
sulphur in the case of the Great Central gas hes been above
the amount sanctioned by Parliament. ,
The Commissioners shortly afterwards adjourned.

HEALTH OF LONDON.

(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
The deaths in London, which were 1,300 in the second
week of July, rose to 1,399 in the week that ended last
Saturday. The average number of deaths in the twenty-
ninth week of the ten years 1854-63 is, with a correction for
increase of population, 1,266. The mortality was high for
the third week of July, for the actual number of deaths
exceeded the estimated number by 133.
The increase in deaths over those of the previous week
arises in great measure from summer diarrhea a. The weekly
number of fatal cases of this complaint had been gradually
rising, but had not attained 100 till last week, when it
quickly rose to 145. Of these 115 eases, 28 occurred in the
West districts, 31 in the North, 22 in the Central, 38 in the
East, and 26 in the South districts. Six deaths from
diarrhea i were returned in the Belgrave sub-district, 11 in
Pancras, 9 in Islington, 8 in Clerkenwell, 10 in Shoreditch,
Bin Mile:end Old Town, 6in Poplar. The whole of the
deaths caused by diarrbo3i, with the exception of 14, occur-
red to children under two years of age. Besides these, 6
deaths were referred to cholera.

Seventy-four children died of measles, half of whom died
in the East districts, in which division of the metropolis both
measles and diarrheas appear chiefly to prevail. There were
5 deaths from measles in St. Mary, Paddington.
There is much scarlatina in the sub-district of St. John,
Westminster.

The increase of the mortality in the week arose from the
complaints that are fatal to children. The deaths of persons
under 20 years of age increased from 693 in the previous
week to 810 last week; those of persons 60 years old and
upwards declined from 238 to 193. Deaths by convulsions
rose from 38 to 71 ; those by developmental diseases of
children from 24 to 42 ; those by atrophy and debility
(amongst children) from 62 to 71.
A cabinetmaker, aged 63 years, died on the 4th inst.,
at 11, Little Paternoster-row, Christchurch, Spitalfields,
from degeneration of the heart, accelerated by privation
and want of food.

Last week, the births of 976 boys and 891 girls, in all

1,870 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor-
responding weeks of the years 1851-63 the average number
(corrected) was 1,831.

AIARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
The supply of home-grown wheat on sale here to-day
was seasonably good, and most samples came to hand in
excellent condition. The demand, both for red and white
qualities, was far from active ; nevertheless, Monday's
prices were supported.
With foreign wheat the market was fairly supplied.
The amount of business transacted, both in American
and continental descriptions, was very moderate, yet the
quotations ruled firm.
Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, at
fall currencies.
The supply of barley on the stands was very moderate.
The trade, however, was very quiet, and prices ruled, in
some instances, the turn easier.
Malt changed hands to a moderate extent at late rates.
Oats were in good supply, and slow request, on rather
easier terms.

Beans and peas ruled firm, and Monday's prices were
fully supported.
The flour trade was steady, at late rates.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2! per milk pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.20 per £1 sterling. On
oomparingr, these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
rather more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in..
London.

By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mar
and the short exchang on London is 13.51 per £1 stuliug'.
standard gold at the 1.n,7115h Mint price is, therefore, about
3-ICtbs per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg.

The Directors of the National Bank have issued
their half-yearly report. The accounts, which are
brought down to the 3')th June last, show that, in
addition to the £500,000 profit on the issue of new
shares the nett ordinary profits of the Bank for that
period amounted to £89,567 ls. in estimating the
progress of the Bank this sum has to be compared
with a profit of £49,067 15s 10d, which was the
amount earned for the corresponding half-year of
1863. The Directors have, however, declared their
ordinary and extraordinary dividends at the same
rates as on the last occasion, feeling that until new
and old shares shall stand up to an equal amount, viz.,
£3O per share, it will b 3 more equitable to accu-
mulate in the reserve fund the amount of profits
realised in excess of the rates of dividends latterly
paid. For the half-year ending the 30th June the
dividend on the old shares is therefore declared at
the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, with an extra
dividend of 16s per share, making together £2 per
shara for the half-year, and the dividend on the
new shares is declared in grose at 6s 8d per share,
the dividends on both being free of income tax.
The increase to the Rest or undivided profits (in-
cluding the premium on new shares) will therefore,
after the payment of these dividends, amount on
the half-year to £542,900 7s Bd.

THE RIGHT OF MIGHT.—A remarkable case oc•
curred recently at New York, Col. Arguelles, Lieu t-
tenant-Governor of the district of Colon, in Cuba, captured
a large cargo of African negroes illegally landed within that
district, and received his share of the usual prize money
allowed. Subsequently he obtained leave of absence for the
purpose of proceeding to New York on private business.
The Captain-General of Cuba represented that after the de-
parture of Arguelles it was discovered that he had retained
and sold into slavery 140 of the negroes, and that the Supe-
rior Court required his presence to warrant their proreo
.in a...srottraomoanraa -
liberation. There has never been any extradition treaty
between Spain and the United States, but nevertheless the
Spanish Minister at Washington asked, "in the interests of
humanity, and coisidering the gross and scandalous outrage
committed," that Arguelles should be surrendered to the
authorities of Cuba. President Lincoln hobbi (as he says
that "a nation is
in reporting the transaction to Congress)

there is no extradition treaty and Act of Congress enforcing
it. The New Ford; World alleges that the key to the trans-
action is that Colonel Arguelles has committed indiscret ions
at New Yolk, and has exposed too much the complicity
of the Captain-General himself in the slave trillic, inso-
much that the latter said, " I must have that man dead or
alive." Mr. Lincoln had him delivered on board alive.

THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND.—MAORI PEI-
SO_NERS.-0 ar prisoners cf scar, to the number of
191, are confined in the Marion hulk. Those who saw them
when they were first brought in from ltangiriri would
hardly recognise in these robust, plump-looking histories
the lean, hungry, dejected looking kine who were marched
down from the front a few months ago very like a company
' of beggars, and of whom we could scarcely believe that
there were among them chiefs and celebrities, suzgi as
the great landed proprietor of Waikato. The civilising
influence of good living and the observance of proper sani-
tary arrangements have had a wonderful Effect upon their
condition. A large proportion of them are young men,
who were probably training for war flogs, and melt of them
seem very indifferent to their mtsfortunes, Very few of
them are maimed. Some are of such light complexions
that they might be taken for half-castes. They occupy .
themselves a good deal with draughts, or a Maori adapta-
tion of the game, and several sma'se when they can get a
