IDIPERILL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This Day.)

The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock"
DISEASES CATTLE PREVENTION BILL.

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Mr BAGWELL moved that the house should not
resolve itself into such committee.
Mr BARING said that if the house went into commit -
tee he pledged himself on the part of Government to make
such alterations as might be deemed desirable.
The house then went into committee, and several clauses
with verbal amendments, were agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and the house re-
sumed, after which it adjourned.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.)
110PLEY V. HOPLEY.

Mr Hopley resumed his defence this morning by reading
extracts from different letters from his wife in the early part
of 1862, which contained some very endearing expressions.
She spoke of herself as his " little wifey," and requests him
to preserve a " cheerful temper as a duty to God, who
wished his creatures to be happy." He contended that it
was impossible that such letters could be addressed to such
a brutal husband as he was represented, and said that at
the time he was stated to have been in the habit of cruelly

ill-treating his wife he was delivering lectures on moral
and social subjects at Brighton. The respondent resumed
reading the letters, which were very tedious and lengthy,
and the court had frequently to call him to order in conse-
quence of the irrelevant matter introduced into his address.
He laid great stress on the fact that in 1862 she was using
all her exertions to procure a remission of his sentence, as a
proof that there was no foundation in the case against him.
The witnesses called were not reliable, for one of them had
been dismissed from his service ; the other, as he was credi-
bly informed, was the mother of two illegitimate children
by a married man; and,the memory of a third could not
be trusted. One of his pupils who had been examined said
that he never witnessed any acts of ill-treatment on his
part, or appearances of it on her person, all of which must
have been perceived by every member of his household,
from the nature of his domestic arrangements, and this
witness spoke of him in the very highest terms.
(The case was proceeding when we went to press.) ;

AIARKETS—This Day,

MARK-LANE.

A small supply of home grown wheat was on sale at
Mark-lane to-day. The condition of the produce was good,
and the bulk of the supply was disposed of at the rates cur-
rent on Monday last.
The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat.
Sales, generally speaking, progressed slowly, yet prices
ruled stationary.
Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, at fall
currencies.

Barley, the supply of which was but moderate, ruled
firm, at full quotations.
Malt changed hands slowly, at late rates.
The supply of oats on sale was large. Both for English
and foreign qualities the trade was dull, and prices hal a
downward tendency. . _

Beans and peas were firm, and prices were quite as high
as on Monday.
In fbur there was a moderate demand, at late rates.

BOROUGH HOP.

The accounts from the plantations are not to say favour-
able, owing to the slow progress made during the last four
days. The plant, however, is comparatively free from
blight. The amount of business passing in our market is
very moderate, and is chiefly confined to good and fine
samples of last year's growth, which command previous
quotations. In the value of other descriptions no change
has taken place.
