LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
CHANTER V. CHANTER.

This was an undefended suit of the wife against the
husband, praying for a dissolution of marriage, on the
ground of cruelty, adultery, and desertion.
The parties were married in 1856, and cohabited for some
time, when the respondent commenced a series of acts of
cruelty, and ultimately deserted his wife, who was left
entirely destitute of support. The petitioner stated that
after the marriage she went to Dublin with her
husband, and then to Cork, where his treatment
became very bad, he having been in the habit
of violently assaulting her. He used "to strike
her with a cane. Their disputes arose in conse-
quence of differences about money, which he endeavoured
to extort from her. They sep?rated shortly after the mar-
riage, and she went to Bromley to live. Ho followed her
there and demanded money, which she refused to give him,
having barely enough to support herself, and on one occa-
sion he took off her wedding ring. He used to demand her
things, and if he required her bonnet he would have had it.
He used to ill treat her solely in regard to money matters,
and he was not a jealous man, From 1859 to 1863 she did
not see her husband, but, in the latter year ho wanted to be
reconciled to her, but she refused to live with him unlesshe
provided her with a home, which he did not do. She was
then living in Sutherland-street, Pimlico, and he remained
at the house, but occupied a separate bedroom. In about
three or four days he went away, and she did not see him
until some time afterwards, when he accosted her in the
street. On that occasion ho struck her with his cane—
frequent act of his—because she would not lean on him and
had a basket on her arm, at which he appeared shocked.
He also pinched her. She never saw him afterwards, but
she heard that he was confined in Northampton Gaol for
some offence which he had committed. He had given her
black eyes. She remembered on one occasion his wanting her
to take a glass of whisky and water, and his having a bottle
of laudanum in his possession, which she and the servant r
succeeded in getting from him. That was in December
1863. She had not cohabited with her husband since she
left him.

Witnesses were examined to corroborate the evidence of
the petitioner. One, a domestic servant, stated that on
one occasion she entered Mr.e Chanter's apartment after the
respondent had quitted it, and found her in a state of insen-
sibility from ill-usage.
The learned judge granted a decree nisi.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,--This day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

COWARDLY ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—Richard Wil-
liams, a glass plater, living in Charlton-street, Fitzroy-
square, was charged before Mr Knox with assaulting Mrs
Mary Ann Gray, of 49, Newman-street, Oxford-street.
Mrs Gray, who had a bad black eye, stated that on the
previous evening she was at the house of her father, 4,
Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, an alamode beef-house,
when a person who was taking his supper misconducted
himself', being the worse for liquor. Her brother went to
the door to look for a constable, when the defendant en-
tered. She asked the defendant, whether he wanted any
refreshment and he said he did not, and she then told him
there were quite enough persons in the place without him,
and immediately_ afterwards the defendant gave her a blow
in the eye.

In answer to ➢lr Knox the complainant said she believed
;he defendant was intoxicated.

The defendant wished to know if Mrs Gray had not
seized him by the collar, and Mrs Gray said not till defen-
dant struck her. Her brother had also a black eye through
a blow the defendant gave him.

Mr Benjamin John Wolff said he resided with his
father. On the previous evening there was a disturbance
in the shop caused by a person who was intoxicated. He
saw the defendant strike his sister and defended her as well
as he could, and the defendant then struck him in the eye.
Mr Wolff, who had also a bad black eye, said, in answer
to a question, the defendant had been drinking, but knew
what he was about.

Police constable Sharman, 35 E, proved taking defendant
into custody, and that he was drunk.
The defendant said that, hearing a disturbance, he went
into the house, when Mrs Gray seized him by the collar,
and be pushed her away.

Mr Knox said if the defendant wished him to believe that
the black eye Mrs Gray had got was caused by a push, he
would at once tell him he did not believe him.
The defendant said he had a wife and children.

Mr Knox said ho would not send the defendant to prison
at once—though he". c3nsidered his conduct:in striking a
female very dastardly and brutal—as it might ruin his
wife and children. The defendant did not think so much
of his children as he (Mr Knox) did. The only thing in
the defendant's favour was that there was no premeditation.
He would fine him 40s or 14 days.

PIQKPOCKETS AT THE ILLUMINATIONS.—Four boys
named George Hawkins, Henry Gupping, John Skeen, and
James Bryan, were charged before Mr Knox with picking
pockets last night in Regent-street and Savile-row.

Butcher, 137 0, and Dawson, 301 A, having given evi-
dence, Mr Knox remanded the prisoners, that the police
might inquire as to tho character of the boys.

L ITE RA TUR E.

THE ST. JAMES'S MAGAZINE.—The story of
"Only a Clod" is, of course, the most conspicuous
thing in this number, and it proceeds with consi-
derable rapidity in the instalment before us. Francis
Tredethlyn obtains a clue to the fate of his missing
cousin Susan, and he also suffers himself to become
entangle! in an engagement with scheming Miss Desmond,
with what result we shall see hereafter. " The Clerk of the
Weather," without whose invaluable assistance English
conversation would be at a standstill, supplies matter for a
readable paper; and the lovers of the horrible will find
attraction in the fourth part of the " Records of an Old
Police-court." Dr Scoffern, who generally finds something
to say en the topic of the day, gives his opinions on spirits
and their manifestations. We have also an intorestin paper
on no less a permage than Queen El z tbeth, and the con-
tinuation of Paul Fesval's romance of " Working in the
Datk."

COEBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—A
lengthened article on " The Lieutenants-General of
Police" opens this number, and to the reader un-
familiar with the nnderworking of the brilliant
courts of the fourteenth and fifteenth Lewises, will
b 3 full of curious revelations. It is remarked at
the outset that " the lieutenants-general of police played, up
to the time of the French Revolution, a far more important
part in the social,
courtly, and political history of France
than is generally imagined." Francis Jacox continues his
" Vocal Exercises," or dissertation upon the character of
the voice in many eminent men. Alexander Andrews, a
careful and sensible writer, contributes a paper on " Cotton
Possibilities," and enters very fully into the capacities of
Central Africa, giving us emphatically the consoling assur-
ance that it is " capable of producing a great deal more
cotton than Europe is ever likely to requite." " Wood-
bury," and " The Quest" proceeds as usual, and " Strath-
more.' is evidently advancing to a climax. It is not difficult
t) foresee who is the spectre that is to startle the
happiness of the fair young bride. Nicholas Michell con.•
tributes some graceful verses on the premature death o f
the lamented Speke.

BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.—We have elsewhere
notioed the introductory chapters of the Editor's
new story, " The House of Seven Chimneys," which
naturally occupies the foremost pages of this part.
Dudley Costello continues his chronicle of the
adventures of Signor Tomkins, and we have also a
8

ngular and not very pleasing story from the Dutch,
called "The Twin Sisters of Malta." " The Chronicle of
the Compleat Angler" is pleasanter to study by the fireside
than by the running brooks this weather, and prudent men
will follow the same principle in gathering the experiences
of " A Gambling Tour." " Fontainebleau" gives a sketch
of some of the attractions of that world-famoui spot, and
an article on " rheEra of LouisXVl, and Marie Antoinette"
is full of mournful interest. Francis Jacox takes for his
text " Single-speech Soundpost," one of the three musicians
who are hired to celebrated Juliet's nuptials, and whose
eloquence is only recorded in the words "Faith I know not
what to say," He preaches thereon a homily on the wisdom
of occasional ignorance not altogether without a moral.
THE ALEXANDRA MAGAZINE and ENGLISH-
WOMAN'S JOURNAL.—The A/exantha Magazine is
now incorporated with its more dignified predeces-
sor, the Englishwoman's Journal, and both serials
have contributed their best features to the magazine in its
present aspect. It contains a good deal of information
connected with the subject of female employment, and is
likely to afford valuable assistance to the cause both by cir-
culating information and by engaging the interest of its
readers.
THE WORKING MEN'S CLUB AND INSTITUTE
MAGAZINE.—This little serial is the organ of the
Working Men's Club and Institute Union through-
out the country, and discusses all the principal

topics connected with the mov,ment. There is a paper on
the principle of co-operation applied to the establishment
and maintenance of working men's clubs and institutes, and
another entitled " How can Clubs be made Self-support-

ing ?" showing how help may legitimately be given at the
outset of any hopeful enterprise.

THE JOURNAL OF BRITISH OPHTHALMOLOGY.
No. 1. John Churchill.--This is a new quarterly
journal devoted to the consideration of the views
and practice of English ophthalmic surgeons.
There is at present no organ of the kind in the
country, and it is likely to fill an important gap in our me-
dical literature. So difficult and delicate is this branch of
surgery, its importance so great, and tho opportunities of
studying it in provincial distaicts are necessarily so limited
that an authorised journal which shall record the experience
of eye institutions and of leading metropolitan practitioners
in new modes of treatment and operations, will be of the
greatest service to the public. Reports of hospital and
private cases will form part of every number, and the edi-
torship of Mr Jabez Hogg, assistant surgeon to the West-
minster Ophthalmic Hospital, is a guarantee for sound and
accurate information.
THE SIXPENNY MAGAZINE presents its usual
amount of light reading, and considering the small
sum expended in its purchase, no reader will have
the right to complain that he has not been provided with
an ample supply of amusement, and materials for recrea-
tion. Besides many stories, there are some verses met with
of a romantic cast, and put forth in a flowing strain , in-
eluding :a sketch entitled " Unlawful Cures," whichis
interesting, and conveys some useful information.
CASSELLS'S PUBLICATIONS.
The Illustrated

smith, Natural History, Popular Educator, &0,, each fully

axeouted in the highest style of art.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

The paddlewheel steam sloop Baracouta, 6, Capt.
D'Arcy, which arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday
morning, left Jamaica September 26, Bermuda
October 4, and Halifax on the 19th. She took her
departure from Jamaica in consequence of the pre-
valence of smallpox there, and proceeded to Ben
muds, whore she found the yellow fever raging.
She therefore coaled and left the same day, convey.,
ing the crew of the serew gunboat Albacore and the
healthy part of the crew of the iron floating
battery Terror, Captain James F. B. Wainwright,
to Halifax'. Tae Barracouta has brought home
the officers and crew of the screw steam gunboat
Cygnet, 6, Commander W. S. DJ K. intzlu, paid
off at Halifax, at d five naval invalids, among whom
is Assist.-Surgeon J. E Grigg, late of the paddle-
wheel steam sloop V.suyiale, 6, at Bermuda. She
left at Jamaica the Aboukir, Shannon, Steady,
Bulldog, and Rosario ; at Bermuda, the Terror and
Albacore ; and at Halifax, the Duncan, Galatea,
Cygnet, Steady, and Virago. The Liverpoo.
was at Vera Crt. z, and was expected to sail direct
for England on The arrival of the Phaeton, which
had left Port Royal to relieve her. The Greyhound
left Jamaica on the 21st September for England.
Ihe Jason is coming home with the crew of the
Steady, paid off at Halifax. The Barracouta epoke
in-lat. 49 31 N , long. 32 E., on Sunday, October
30, the screw steamer Pennsylvania; and en the
22d of October a Cunard steamer, outward bound.
During the prevalence of strong westerly winds
she loather mainyard and sprung the maintopmast.
The Barracouta called at Plymouth in consequence
of being short of coal, and expected orders to pro-,
teed to Portsmouth to be paid off, having been in
commission since May, 1860.

The paddlewheel steam store ship Dee, 1, Master
Commander George Raymond, having shipped
stores at the Devonport dcckyard, and embarked
some seamen for conveyance to Portsmouth, was
appointed to leave Plymouth on Tuesday afternoon.
General Todleben finished his visit to Plymouth
on Wednesday morning, when he left by the ex-
press train. Accompanied from Portsmouth by
Colonel Gordon, C. 8., the General arrived on Satur-
day last at Government-house, Mount Wise, and
became the guest of IVI:jor General Hutchinson,
the Commander of the Forces in the western dis-
trict. On Sunday morning the General attended
Divine service in the military church, and being
much pressed for time, he proceeded in the after-
noon, accompanied by the General, by Col. Owen,
It.E„ C. 8., Commanding Royal Engineers, and by
Capt. Cux, in charge of works, to inspect the north
eastern defences of Ply mouth. He inspected the
forts at St. Budeaux, Crown-hill, and Efford, and
eipressed his unqualifi-d approval of their struc-
ture. He entered very fully into all the professional
points connected with the subject, and looking at

the natural features of the country, commended
the sites selected for the various fortifications. On
Monday morning, accompanied by the same officers,
General Todleben inspected the fort at Tregantle,
to the westward of Plymouth. Of this important
work, which he examined minutely, he expressed
himself in terms of high admiration. At the same

time, suggestions for improvement were not with-
held. Returning eastward by the military road,
the General reached Cawsand, and there embarked
on board the steam yacht Princess Alice, which
conveyed him to the fort now erecting on Shovel
Rock, just inside the Plymouth breakwater, and
then to Bovisand, where he landed and proceeded
up the hill and took a cursory view of the progress
of the fortifications on Staddon Heights. In the
evening he was entertained at dinner by Admiral
Sir Charles Fremantle, K.C.8., Commander-in,
Chief at Devoaport. On Tuesday morning General
Todleben was conveyed in General Hutchinson's
barge to the gunnery ship Cambridge, Captain
Charles J. F. Ewart, where he witnessed the artil-
lery practice of the crew. He then landed at the
Devonport dockyard, and was received by Rear-
Admiral Superintendent Thomas M. C. Symonds,
C. 8., Commander Martin, Master-Attendant, Mr.
Moore, acting master-shipwright, and others.
While here he saw at work a steam fire engine,
which threw a jet of water at the rate of 2:1;- tons
per minute to a height varying from 120 to 150
feet. Having taken luncheon with Admiral Sy-
monds, General Todleben went from the dockyard
to Keyham steamyard, round which he was con-
ducted by Mr. Miller, Chief Engineer, Captain
Edmonstone, R N., and Mr Townshend, C.E. He
went on board the Achilles and Research and visited
the various workshops. Ho then wont on board the
steamtug Scotia, which conveyed him to the Bull
Point powder works, and there obtained a full
view of the Royal Albert Bridge at Saltash.
He subsequently visited Mount Edgecumbe, and
in the evening dined at Leigham-terrace, Ply-
mouth, with Col. Owen, C. 8., Commanding Royal
Engineers. During his stay in the West General
Todleben secured the esteem of all those whom he
met; he exhibited a most extensive knowledge of
his profession, and was completely open and candid
in
his communisations. It is understood that the

General will leave the country for the south of En

rope about the 20th inst., but that he will first visit
Manchester and the midland counties. He has ac-
cepted invitations to dine at Willie's Rooms on the
11'h inst. with the officers of the Engineers, and at
a grand military dinner at Woolwich, which will
take place, we believe, on Friday, the 18th inst.
The following appointments and promotions have
been made at the Admiralty :—Commander Hon.
E. G. L. Cochrane, to be Inspecting Commander in
the Co ist G aard—W . 11. Parker, master, additional,

MAYORS FOR 1865.—The following' gentlemen
were elected to fill the office of mayor for the
ensuing year:..-Abingdon, Alderman C. Payne—Bedford,
Mr James Howard, re-elected—Birmingham, Mr H. Wig-
gin—Bury St. Edmund's, Alderman G. H. Nunn—Cam-
bridge, Alderman Hurrell, second time—Canterbury, Mr

Portsmouth, Mr J. Baker—Preston, Mr Isherwood—
Rochester, Mr J. Tribe—Salford, Mr Wright Turner—
Southampton, NIL. T. Bowman—Windsor, Mr R. Harris—
York, Mr Cabry.
DRAB RESTORED.—Acoording to the Indu Pra-
kisch (or Moonlight), a native paper received by the last
mail, the Government have resolved on restoring Dhar to
its native ruler. "By this time," says the Aloonliyl4, on
the authority of its correspondent at Indore, " the joyous
city rings with the tumult of the multitudes thanking their
gods for this restoration of the State to their hereditary
prince." It seems also duly grateful for the exertions of
Lord Stanley and Mr John Dickinson, jun., in England, to
whose efforts the restoration of Dhar to a native ruler is
mainly to be attributed.
BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—Homcovathic practitioners,
and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa
as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc-
trine of homoeopathy was first introduced into this country,
there were to be obt lined no preparations of cocoa either at-
tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut
was either supplied in the crude state or so unskilfully
manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London,
Homceopathie Chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn
his at ention to this subject, and at length he succeeded,
with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first
to produce an article pule in its composition, and so refined
by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passes
through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach.
For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli-
cious aroma. Dr. Ilassall, in his work " Adulteratio t of
Food," says —" ocoa con airs a great variety of important
nutritive principles every ingredient necessary to the
growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a nutri-
tive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee or
tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a
breakfast cup, filled up wills boiling water or milk. Secured
in tin-lined 11b., Ob., and lib. libelled packets, a d sold by
grocers, confectioners, and chemists.- [ADVT.]

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL AUTU.INiN MEETING,-IVEDNEgDAT.

There was not much of in:portauce on to-day's card with
the exception of the Sefton handicap rid the Liverpool

Nut seiy.

The hurdle race, with which yesterday's proceedings
commenced, wes only notable for the discomfiture of Lord
Uxbridge's warm favor-ite Marble Hill, who, though pull-
ing double all the way, seemed unable to got through la's
horses at the distance, end was out of it then and there.
The Sefton, contrary to expectation, dwindled down izom
34 colon-ed to a miserable quartet of very indifferent pe:-
formers, Welbeek being considered good enough to beat
his three opponents, which ho did %vith ridiculous ease.
Usher having carried off the Selling Plate, and been
bought in by his aoble owaer r about, we should think,
the 50th time, a field of nine only ware telegraphed for the
Nursery, so it will be seen that the principal events showed
a falling off from former ye:,..rs. Lion, the Ni '-iner of the
Knowsley yesterday, won like a racehorse to-day, c.,rrylng
83t 41b, and proved himself a li..st-rate cnirnal. The attend-
ance was somewhat more nr-nercri to-day, end the
weather favourable.

Morocco, with a clear lead, made play, followed by Stan-
ton and Bowman, two or three lengths in whose rear came
West End, the favourite, Ross, and Wild Duck, in the order
we have given them, and in which way they ran past tho
stand. Rounding the stable turn, Stanton got upon closer
terms; Bowman, West End, and Marble Bill following
next to the canal bridge turn, where Morocco gave way,
and at the T.Y.O. post he was beaten, t—ad gave way to
St?nton, who was joined as they entered the straight by
West End, Bowatr-1, and Marble Hill, who cleared the
hurdles together; but on reaching the distarce the favou•
rite was-beaten, and dropped back; Bowman at the same
time took up the running over the next flight, but was
caught half way up by Stanton on the inside and West End
on the right, the three from this point running locked toge-
ther to the end, and finishing a fine race, West End, who
got up in the last stride, winning by a head, Bowman de-
felting Stanton by a neck for second ; Ross finished fourth
upon sufferance, Marble Hill fifth. Morocco and Wild
Duck did not pass the post.

rometer at his girths, got away in advance, but, after
tanning some distarce, they were headed by Birdfinder
next the rails, close up with whom were Gipsy Girl, Prac-

titioner, and Kapunda. These positions were retained to
the distance, where Saccharometer, in company with Prac-
titioner, headed again, drew towards the post, but as they
neared the stand Grimshaw called upon tha favourite,

Anonyms to the distance,where Cedric headed the favourite,
and came on with a slight lead, but half way up he was
again passed by Edinburgh, who was caught opposite the

PRESTON.—This week a slight change for the
better has taken place at Preston. Tai trade report
issued yesterday shows that 9,497 operatives are working
full time, 592 five days per week, 1,954 four, 4,027 three,
631 two, and that 10,976 are entirely unemployed. The
number of mills closed is 29. Last week, 11,314 opera •
rives were out of work, and 30 mills were closed. Yes-
terdry, at the meeting of the Board of Guardians, it was
reported that in the union of Preston this week there are
3,078 cases, comprising 7,779 persons, who have been
relieved, at a cost of £450 6s 61d. As compared with
last week, these figures show an increase of 11 cases, 8
persons, and £2 16s 31d in the expenditure. This is
the smallest increase which has taken place for several
weeks. The Guardians have in their service 652 able-
bodied men, or 51 fewer than last week. Complaints are
still made about the idleness of several of the parish
labourers. In the different workhouses of the union there
are 1,121 inmates. The Preston Relief Committee, at their
meeting on Monday night, resolved not to re-open the sew
ing schools. The committee have now on their books
3,552 cases, comprising 9,562 persons. Increase, as com-
pared with last week; cases, 23; persons, 120.
THE EXTRAORDINARY CLAIM TO PROPERTY AT
WIGAN.—The quiet possession of the Manor Eloyte,
Seholes, Wigan, having apparently been assured for tho
present to the claimants from Durham, by the recent deci-
sion of the borough magistrates, the two men, Horrocks and
Roc, have begun to take steps to obtain a hold upon the
surrounding property. Behind the Manor House are a
large number of cottages, none of the tenants of which have
paid a farthing rent to the executors of Mr. Heaton, who
have hitherto been considered the owners, since the seizure
of the house by the new claimants. But this is not all, as
notices have been served upon the tenants of several landed
proprietors in the neighbourhood,—Mr Lamb, Mr Daneon,
and Mr Foreman,—warning them to pay rent only to Ilor-
rocks. Two bailiffs yesterday entered the house of a person
named Bernard, tenant to Mr Foreman, in Schofield-lane ;
but they were ejected by force. A warrant was, however,
obtained against the tenant Bernard, for assaulting the
bailiff in the execution of his duty. Another step the claim-
ants have taken is likely to prove a far more serious one.
In the street just mentioned, Schofield lane, is a sand pit
belonging to the executors of the late Roger Anderton,and
this, which is alleged to be part of the property belonging
to liorrocks, has now been forcibly taken possession of by
a party of men acting under the directions of the two
claimants. There was only one man at the place at the
time, so that there was not much difficulty about the seizure.
A bar was then placed across the entrance, and several pur-
chasers were supplied with Sand by Roe, who also received
the money.
