Newspaper Press Fund.

A special general meeting of the members of this society
was held on Saturday afternoon at the Freemasons' Tavern,
Great Queen-street, for the purpose of considering the re-
Nised rules and 'regulations, and of electing committee-men
and other officers for the current year, and for other busi •
ness ; Mr Godwin, one of the vice-presidents in the chair.
The committee, which had conducted the affairs of the
society at once placed their resignation bodily in the hands
of the meeting. The business commenced with the hon.
secretary, Mr Henry George Wai , reading the rules and
regulations seriatim, and a lengthened discussion arose upon
some, which were amended. The names of the gentlemen
who had formed the committee up to this meeting were
read, and they were severally re-elected. By el alteration
which was carried in one of the 'tiles, having reference to
the management, the number of the committee was in-
creased from twelve to eighteen.

The meeting then proceeded to elect the new members,
and to fill up the vacancy clused by the retirement of one
of the former committee. The names of the several gentle•
men who had consented to act, if elected, were put seriatim,
and they were duly declared elected, namely—Mr Leicester
Buckingham, Mr T. B. Chipchase, Mr H. Corbett, Mr
Callaghan, Mr Findon, Mr E. Lloyd, and Mr Edward
M.Dermott.

Mr D. M. Evans, C. Daw.ling, and Charles Sawiders,
were elected auditors.

A notice of motion by Mr Frederick Ledger was on the
paper of business—" 2 hat some recognition of the services
which the hon. secretary has rendered t ► the institution
be made to that gentleman." It was, however, suggested
that the funds in hand ought not to be applied to any pur-
pose other than those for which they had been subscribed,
and that while the feeling was unanimous with respect to
the value of the services rendered by thei: etreemc.,
secretary, it would be the better course for the members
themselves to subscribe to a separate testimonial fund
rather than that by a vote such as that I,:oposed they
should appear to divert any portion of the fuuds from the
objects contemplated at the formation of the society. Alist
was at once commenced, Mr Godwia heading it with his
name for two guineas; Mr Chas. Gruneisen kindly followed
the chairman's example, and other members present sub-
scribed liberal sums. A committee of five was ultimately ap-
t:Jere-leans Wltrreir-reztraaniat ---
The proceedings were closed with a vote of tuunt.s to the
chairman of the meeting.

gentleman residing in
the county of Cork. It was founded on the affidavit of
Mr Philip Lovett, who deposed that the defendant had
sailed on board his yacht as a guest during a trip to the
Mediterranean in Aeptember, 1860 ; that a dispute arose
between them about the residence of Garibaldi, which
led Mr Madder to leave the yacht. It was also alleged
that ho made some statement about an unmarried lady,
which was offensive to Mr Lovett. There was conse-
quently some hostile correspondence between the parties in
1861: But the matter did not go further till the 13th of
July, when Mr Lovett arrived on board his yacht in
Queenstown harbour for the purpose of being present
at the regatta, and was invited by the secretary of the
club to meet members at the club-house. Accord-
ingly he went next day, accompanied by a gentleman
named hoare. Mr. Madder, who was at a window,
said, "Hoare, you are bringing a gentleman to
the club who is not admitted here." He afterwards
called out in a loud tone, "Oh, you wretch 1" On these
words being used Mr Ilearo requested Mr Lovett to take no
notice, and, with Captain Deane Perry, begged him to walk
into the reading-room of the club, which he did. On the
way Mr Hoare requested Captain Perry to accompany him
out to speak to Mr Madder, aud he agreed to do so. Subse-
quently Mr Lovett was informed that Mr Madder said to
those gentlemen that deponent was "a coward, a liar, and
a blackguard." and the affidavit set forth that Mr Edmund
Burke, a deputy lieutenant of the county of Cork, told him
that Mr Madder used similar expressions to him in refer-
ence to deponent in the presence of several gentlemen in
the city of Cork, who were assembled in the Commercial
Newsroom. The Chief Justice said ho did not think there
was any case going
' to the extent that a criminal informa-
matioa could bo granted for the words " You wretch."
The other words deposed to here were not addressed to the
prosecutor personally. After some discussion on this point
the Court refused the motion,

WOOL.

The public sales of colonial wool are announced to com-
mence on the 17th inst. Since the close of last series, the
arrivals have amounted to 74,732 bales, comprising 17,860
bales from Sydney, 12,671 Port Philip, 1,870 Tasmania,
6,141 Adelaide, 27,636 Cape, 108 Swan River, and 9,306
bales from Now Zealand, The trade since our last report

hps exhibited rather more firmness. As:regards English
wool, a somewhat increased amount of business has been
transacted ; but the increased demand is still in a great
measure confined to skin wools. On colonial wool, by
private contract, but little is doing; nevertheless, prices
rule firm.

AMERICA.

(Per the Damascus via Greencastle.)
NEW YORK, JAN. 30, 4 p.m

(By telegraph to Portland.)

General Foster reports from Knoxville, on
the 28th instant, that the Federal cavalry
achieved a decided victory the previous
day over the enemy's cavalry ten miles
east of Seirerville. ‘.Maceock's division drove
the enemy two miles, after a stubborn fight,
lasting from daylight till four p.m., when they
routed the enemy from the field, "capturing 2 guns
and a hundred prisoners." " The enemy's loss was
considerable." Jarred's and Walford's division came
up in time to be pushed in pursuit with Strong's
and Hope's to make the rout complete.
It is reported from Cincinatti that the Federals
under Palmer made a reconnaissance on the 28th to
within five miles north of Tunnel Hill, Georgia'
driving in the Confederate pickets, and capturing
one company of Confederate cavalry. One
Confederate division remained above Tunnel Hill.

The remainder of the Confederates had disappeared,
and were supposed to have gone to Mobile.

The Confederates have captured Scottsville, Ken.
Lucky, with a Federal garrison stationed there.

New Orleans advices state tha t the Alississipp
was blockaded for several days at Greenville by
Confederate batteries on each side of the river.
They were not dispersed till land forces were sent
against them.

SALARIES OF THE OFFICERS.

After a considerable discussion a motion by ➢lr. ROCHE,
to the effect that the granting of annuities to the officers
was, as a general rule, inexpedient ; that the salary of the
solicitor be fixed at £1,230 was referred for consideration to
the Streets Committee.

The following motion was also referred to the Streets
Committee :—" That in consideration of the increased dutios
of tho clerk, and the apportionment of a proportion of the
establishment charges of the board to the 'I. homes Embank-
ment and Mansion House-street fund, an addition of £2OO
per annum be made to his salary."
A motion in reference to an increase of the silary of the

BONNET'S SILKS a LYON.—Every Article of
commerce takes its title either from the inventor or
manufacturer, and the more perfect the production the
grater is the credit which attaches to the originator.
BONNET'S SILKS are said to be incapable of identifica-
tion in England ; but the fallacy of such an assertion is ex-
pos,d by the very trade mark of the firm, as exhibited by
Messrs. JAY, of Regent-street.
The followint interwoven mark may be seen at the end
ofeach piece :—" 51anutacture de C. J. Bonnet et Cie., 'a Lyon

POLAND.

Mr. HENNESSY repeated an inquiry he had previously
made with reference to a despatch en the subject of Poland,
written in the month of September, 1863, by the Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs, desiring to have that despatch
in its complete form, without mutilation.
Lord PALMERSTON said it would be improper to
lay before Parliament copy of a despatch before it had
been finally settled. He repeated his views upon the Polish
question.
Mr. W. E. FORSTER asked on what ground that
despatch had been recalled. He explained the view taken
by the Poles of the Polish question.
After a few words from Mr. Duff, the house went pro
forma into Committee of Supply.

CASE OF CAPTAIN MELVILLE WHITE.

Colonel FRENCH asked the Under Secretary of State
for Foreign Athira what compensation had been awarded
to Captain Melville White for the treatment he received
from the Peruvian Government ?

Mr, LAYARD said that he regretted to state that the
award had not been yet given to Captain White, but the
papers in reference to the subject had been placed in the
harids of an eminent lawyer.

PROTECTION OF ACTORS' AND ACTRESSES'
DRESSES FROM FIRES IN THEATRES.

Idr. W. EWART asked the Secretary of State for the
Horne Department whether it was the intention of the Go-
vernment to introduce any measure for the protection of
actresses and actors from the danger of their dresses taking
ire, to which they are now exposed, at the theatres ?

Sir G. GREY said that the attention of the Lord Cham-
berlain had been drawn to the subject, and he had addressed
a circular to the managers of metropolitan theatres on the
subject, and called a meeting of that body at his office.
The:managers promised to adopt every precaution, bat it was
not considered practicable to enforce any particular means for
prevention.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.)

COtTRT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings in Banco, before Justie33.Crompt9n, Mellor, and

Blackburn.)
KELLICK V. SAMUELSON.

The action in this case was originally brought for the re-
covering a sum of money, alleged by the plaintiff to be due
to.leim in consequence of the purchase of a vessel by the
defendant. The case was tried at Liverpool, and; from the
result of that the plaintiff appealed, and a few days ago
a rule was granted by the court to show cause why the
verdict should not be set aside and a new trial granted.
Counsel was heard this morning, and at the conclusion of
the arguments their lordships made the rule absolute.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before Sir J. P. Wildo and a Common Jury.)
IBEARD AND HEAD V. HARRIS.

Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram, instructed by
Mr. L. Blane, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Kerslake,
Q.C., and Dr. Spinks, instructed by Mr. Crosse, for the
defendant.

This was a suit to try the validity of a will, alleged to
have been duly executed by Mrs. Grace Eker. who
died at Hartland, Devonshire, April, 3863, pos-
sessed of a house situated at Beckingham, worth about
£4O a-year, left to her absolutely by her husband,
who had been in the service of Sir G. Stukely, and
£250 in money. The will was disputed on the ground of
not having been duly executed, want of testamentary
capacity, &c. By the instrument in question, which was
dated the 9th February last, the testator, who was very
advanced in life, left the whole of her property, subject to
some bequests, to the plaintiffs, her nephews, by whom it
was propounded to the exclusion of a sister, in favour of
whose son a previous will had been made, but who, it was
alleged, had displeased her by taking some of her money
without her consent. This person and her son were the
defendants.

John and Richard Head, the plaintiffs, deposed to and
swore positively to the sanity of the testatrix at the time of
the execution of the will.

Richard Head, son of Richard Head, tho plaintiff, said
he drew up the will by the instructions of the testatrix,
who put her mark to it. He prepped her up with a pillow
and put the pen in her hand. She said of her own accord,
"I acknowledge this to be my last will and \ testament."
He and Michael Prustone attested the will, and the testa-
trix, though very feeble, was quite sound in mind.
Michael Prustone also deposed to having witnessed the
will and to the sanity of the testatrix at the time of its
execution.

The case was proceeding when we went to press.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

The prosecutor left his horse and cab at a door while he
went into a house, and on his coming out he missed them.
They were subsequently found by a constable in Park-lane,
the prisoner at the time sitting on the box.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for inquiries, it
being stated that he had been convicted,
