CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The paymits on the 4th of the month have made
satisfactory progress, and already a little relief is
experienced in discount circles. The current terms
for the best bills are 51 and 6 per cent.
The prospectus of the Royal Naval and Military
Banking Corporation (Limited) has been issued,
giving in detail the moans operandi and the objects
of the directors of the corporation. The capital
proposed is £1,000,000, which is to be raised in
10,000 shares of £lOO each, of which sum it is not
proposed to call up more than £2O. The deposit
is £1 per share, and the payment on allotment is
to be £4 per share ; the residue of calls on capital
invested is not to exceed £5 per share, and not
called for at intervals of less than three months.
The object for which this corporation is established
cannot fail to strongly recommend itself to the
favourable notice of the officers of both
the army and the navy, whose special at-
tention is invited to the detailed prospectus,
which will be found in another place. The distin-
guished names of the gallant gentlemen who form
the directory is guarantee enough that the objects
of the corporation will be fully carried out. We
learn that during the few days the corporation has
beenbefore the public, that a considerable portion of
the capital stock has been applied for, and that the
application list will close on the 9th inst. It will be
noticed that the Board of Directors which at first
was exclusively formed of naval and military gen-
tlemen, now includes the names of several commer-
cial men of standing.

The dealings in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets during the last few days have not
been very extensive owing to the unfavourable
Weather. Sugar, coffee, and rice have been in fair
request at full rates. Ia fruit and spices there has
been very little animation, while a better tone has
prevailed in the tallow market; a fair amount of
business having been done for both present and for-
ward delivery.
The Bark of England return for the week end-
ing Wednesday shows a further accumulation of
gold, bat there is a reduction in the reserve of notes,
and an augmentation in the other securities, owing
to the recent activity in discount circles and the
negotiation of loans prior to the payment of the
dividends. Subjoined is our analysie :

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF DIVORCE,
(Before the Judge-Ordinary and a Common Jury,)
WODEHOUSE V. WODEHOUSE AND FARROW.

This was a suit by the husband, an insurance agent, at
Norwich, for a dissolution of the marriage on the ground
of the adultery of his wife with the co-respondent, a wealthy
farmer, who died last May at the age of 77 years. The re-
spondent, at the time the alleged impropriety took place
was only 16 years of age.
Bertha Bates said she had formerly been in the service of
Mr. Farrow, who lived at Memdham, in Norfolk. She had
seen frequent acts of impropriety between Mr. Farrow and
Mrs. oodhouse. She was in the habit of going into his
study in her night-dress, when he used to act indecently
towards her. When Mr. Farrow used to enter the apart-
ment the respondent used to sham fainting fits, and after-
wards call for pudding and cheese. (Laughter.) The
witness then swore to having seen the adultery committed.
Cross-examined—She was dismissed in consequence of
having an illegitimate child, but Mr. Farrow afterwards
took her again into his service. She was now a married
woman. Mr. Farrow left her a legacy in his will, but be
afterwards revuked it.

Henry Yallop said he had seen Mr. Farrow and Mrs.
Wodehouse in 1856 commit adultery in a barn.

S.veral other witnesses gave corroborative evidence,
which closed the case for the petitioner.
_ .

Mr. Sergeant Parry then opened the case for the respon-
dent, and contended that the whole story told by the wit-
nesses, Bertha Bates and Henry Yallop, was false in every
particular, With respect to the circumstances under which
the witness Yallop saw what he had stated, he should show
it was a physical impossibility, and therefore entirely un..
worthy the slightest belief. The learned gentleman then
called the following witnesses : _

Mrs. Elizabeth Parsons, mother of the respondent, said
her daughter was about 16 years of age when she went into
Mr. Farrow's service, She occasionally went to the house.
She remembered her being ill while there,. and after one
year and eight months she left and was then put to learn a
business. She then resided with witness up to her mar •
riage, and after that she and her husband opened a small
general shop, at which Mr. Farrow used to have some of
his goods. Wodehouse left his wife on the 9th of January,
1857, in consequence of a quarrel about her refusing to give
him the key of the bureau in which the money was kept.
He broke it open, took the money out and never
returned but for a very short time. Mr. Farrow
was present when this quarrel took place. After he had
been away 20 weeks he sent her £l. After he left Mr.
Farrow use 4 to come into the shop. 'While her daughter
was unwell Mr. Farrow did not, as a daily rule, come into
the room while her daughter was confined to bed,
Cross-examined—Wodehouse never accused her daughter
of an intimacy with Mr. Farrow.
Mrs. Vernet, a widow, said he had charge of Mr, Farrow's
house while he was unwell in 1858. She knew Mrs.
Woodhouse, as she used to do needlework for the house;
but when she brought anything home she never saw Mr.
Farrow. The mother of Mrs. 'Woodhouse always came
with her to receipt the bills, and during the five years she
was in charge of Mr. Farrow's house she never saw
Mrs. Woodhouse in Mr. Farrow's company longer
than five minutes at a time. During the whole time
of her residence in Mr. Farrow's house she never
saw him commit the slightest impropriety towards
any person. She knew the girl Bertha, and would not
not believe her on her oath. Sho was dismissed by Mr.
Farrow for bad conduct. She had four years experience of
her character. Mr. Farrow told her she was born under
an unlucky star, and that she was doomed to destruction for
telling lies. -
Re-examined—Mr. Farrow took Bertha into his house
when she was four years old from pure motives of charity,
as she was an orphan. _

Mr. Copeman, a solicitor to the late Mr. Farrow, said—
Since the commencement of the present proceedings, the
witness Yailop carte to him and told him he had never seen
anything improper between Mr. Farrow and Mrs. Wode-
house. He afterwards came again to him, and having
made a counter statement, asked him (witness) to which
statement he should stick, and he told him emphatically to
stick to the truth.

(The case was proceeding when we went to press.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This 'lay.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY All HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—George
Wilson, a tall elderly man, who refused his address, but
described himself as a traveller, was charged before Mr.
Knox with stealing from the person of Mr. John Battes, of
4, King's-terrace, Commercial-road, Stepney, cabinetmaker,
a portemonnaie containing five sovereigns and some silver,
arid the duplicate of a watch of the value of £l3 108., while
at the pit entrance of Her Majesty's Theatre, Haymarket.

Mr. Battes said ho was at the pit entrance of Her
Majesty's Theatre last night with his wife, there being
great pressure from the persons waiting to gain admission,
when he felt a hand in his trousers pockets. lie, as soon as
he could, got his hand down, and felt the prisoner's hand
coming from his pocket, but not being able to hold it, held
his coat and called " Police," and on a constable coming
up gave him into custody. The prisoner said he was going
to the pit of the theatre, but on the constable asking him for
his ticket he said he had not got one, but had the money to
pay, although it was necessary to have a ticket before
entering the theatre.

Mr. Knox—Was the prisoner dressed as he is now (rather
shabbily, with a large woollen scarf round his neck)

Mr. Battes said he was.

Mr. Knox—What had you in your portetnonnaie ?
Mr. Battes stated that he had five sovereigns, 83M0 sil-
ver, and the duplicate relating to a lever watch, of the
value of £l3 10s.

The prisoner put several questions to Mr. Battes, with
the view of showing that it might have been somebody else
whose hand was in his pocket; but Mr. Battes said that
although he could not swear it was the prisoner's, still
he had no doubt of it. _ _

Sergeant Butt, 95 A, said on taking the prisoner into
custody he found 2s. or 3s. in his hand. At the station the
prisoner refused his address.
Sergeant Edward Langley, of the detective department,
Scotland-yard. said he had known the prisoner for years as
a thief, and he had been charged at Bow-street with rob-
bery at the Italian Opera House, Covent-garden.
Mr. Knox said he would remand the prisoner, that in-
quiries might be made respecting him. If the prisoner biok
the purse he must have passed it to some one.
Sergeant Langley said he thought it very likely the pri-
soner put it in some one else'a pocket—a thing often done
by prisoners when detected,
Remanded.

Order for committee read, Motion made and question pro-
posed, "That Mr. Speaker do now leave the chair."
Amendment proposed, to leave out from the word " That"
to the end of the question, in order to aid the words "the
discontinuance in the present year of the assembling of
the Yeomanry Cavalry for the accustomed period of six
days' training on permanent duty, would be detrimental
to the efficiency of the force, and contrary to the recom-
mendation of the committee appointed by Lord Herbert
in the year 1861, and is inexpedient," instead thereof.
Question put, "That the words proposed to be left out
stand part of the question," The howe divided—Ayes,
158; Noes, 157.
