SANDRINGHAM, Nov. 9

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
of Wales, her Royal Highness the Crown Princess
of Prussia, his Royal Highness Prince Edward of
Saxe-Weimar, with Lieutenant-General Knollys,
Major Teesdale, Count Fiirstenstein, Mr. Odo
Russell, the Countess of Morton, and the Countess
Hohenthal, attended Sandringham Church yester-
day morning. The Rev. G. B. Moxon, 8.A., offi-
ciated.

His Royal Highness Prince Frederick of Den.
mark, attended by eqtain Lund, and the Hon,
R. H. Meade, arrived at Sandringham last evening,
un a visit to the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The birthday of his royal highness is being cele-
brated to-day, and the weather, which for the last
week has been very unfavourable for open air
pursuits, has undergone a favourable change, the
sun shining with great brilliancy; and the day has
answered the proverbial description of " Queen's
weather." Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and
Princess of Wales are entertaining the Crown
Princess of Prussia, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar,
Prince Frederick of Denmark, and Mrs. and the
Misses Knollys.
The children of the schools on the estate will
partake of a dinner given to them by the prince,
and there will be an evening party to the c!ergy
and the principal inhabitants of the district.
His royal highness was out shooting during the
greater part of the day.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.
- - -
COURT OF DIVORCE.

(Before the Judge Ordinary, Justice Wightman, and
Baron Channell.)
STONE V. STONE AND AGGRETON.

In this case the husband prayed the Court for a divorce
from his wife on the ground of her adultery with the co-
respondent, which the jury considered to have been
proved. The respondent afterwards moved for a rule for a
new trial, which was argued and stood over for judgment.
Mr. Justice Wightman delivered the judgment of the
court this morning. The learned judge said he and his
learned brother ((Mennen) had read with much care the
evidence adduced on the trial, and they considered the evi-
dence against Mrs. Stone was not sufficiently satisfactory,
therefore the rule for a new trial must be made absolute.
He thought it right to state that the late Judge Ordinary,
before the accident which deprived the public of the ser-
vices of one of the most eminent judges, differed from them
in opinion.

(Before Sir J. P. Wilde.)

EAST-JUDGMENT.
The Judge-Ordinary in delivering judgment in this case,
which was an application on the part of the guardians of the
poor for a sum of money which a lunatic named Mary Fin-
ley was entitled to, in right of her mother who died leaving
£237 2s 6d. The deceased had no other children, and the
next of kin did not apply for letters of administraation, an 4
therefore he thought the application should be granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
THE ILLUMINATIONS,--PICKING POCKETS.—TWO lads
named Henry Bolton and Henry Perry were charged before
Mr. Mansfield with attempting to pick the pockets of se-
veral persons in Regent-street and Saville-row last night,
the streets being much crowded by persons anxious to see
the illuminations in honour of the Prince of Wales's birth-
day.

Henry Dawson, 301 A, deposed to seeing the prisoners
busily employed last night in trying the pockets of several
persons in Saville-row and Regent-street, and on taking
them into custody, and finding two white pocket handker-
chiefs in their possession, they both said they belonged to
their " young ladies."

Perry said that the officer had charged them with pick-
ing pockets, but he could assure the magistrate that it was
a mistake. They were out like others to see what was going
on, and as for picking pockets it was all stuff, and it was
net likely they would take handkerchiefs when they had
their own.

Mr. Mansfield committed the prisoners for three months
hard labour each.

Perry observed that it was a mistake, but he supposed he
must put up with it.

THAMES.
A TERMAGANT.—Martha Henderson, a very large and
powerful woman, was brought before Mr.Woolrych, on re-
mand, charged with committing a very serious assault on
John Cormack, an Irishman, living at No. 7, Broad Bridge-
terrace, Middle Shadwell.
Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, defended the prisoner.
It appeared from the evidence of complainant, who wore
some medical plaisters on his head, that on the night of the
7th instant he was in the Lebeck's Head public-house, in
High-street, Shadwell, and quarrelled with the prisoner,
who took up a drinking-glass and struck him a tremendous
blow with it, and he fell, and was insensible for some time
afterwards.

In cross-examination by Mr. Smith, the prosecutor said
he was a seaman, There were two women in the Lebeck's
Head. He did not black a woman's eye. He did not know
whether he did it or not. He did strike a woman, but
whether he gave her a black eye or not he could not say.
William Kenny, barman at the Lebeck's Head, gave a
somewhat different version of the transaction. The pri-
soner threw a glass of half and half over the prosecutor,
and he jumped up, and she struck him on the head with a
glase, who bled fearfully.
Mr. Joseph Arthur, surgeon, of High-street, Shadwell,
said he was called upon to attend the prosecutor on the
night of the 7th inst. There were three distinct wounds on
the right side of the forehead. They were lacerated wounds.
There was another lacerated wound on the lower lip on the
same side. There had been a good deal of hemorrhage.
The remains of a stout and heavy drinking glass was
produced, and Mr. Arthur said it might produce such
wounds as those he had described.

Mr. Joseph Smith advised the prisoner to reserve her
defence, but she would speak, and said she must make an
oration. The oration was a long one, and we must neces-
sarily abridge it. She said that a friend asked the sailor for
some money owing to her, and he said he would not pay it,
and knocked her down. She remarked it was a shame, and
the prosecutor said he would run her through, and then
struck her, and she threw some beer over him.

Mr. Woolrych committed the prisoner for trial for unlaw.
Fully wounding the prosecutor.

Dr. Arthur Penrhyn Stanley will succeed the

Archbishop of Dublin as Dean of Westminster. Dr. Stan-

ley is at present Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History
at Oxford, Canon of Christ Church, Honorary Chaplain in
Ordinary to the Queen, and Examining Chaplain to the
Bishop of London.

CELEBRATION OF A 101ST BIRTHDAY.—On ►Sun-
day, a Mr. Foster, of Derby, attained the age of 101 years,
and to celebrate the event a large party of gentlemen of
position and influence in the town gave a dinner at the
County Hotel on Saturday evening, to which Mr. Foster
was invited. The Mayor of Derby and many members of
the Corporation were present to do honour to the vener-
able patriarch, who i s still in the possession of all his
faculties, and able to travel about from town to town
disposing of charts and other educational works compiled
by himself. He is well known in Manchester, Birming-
ham, Gloucester, Leeds, London, Stafford, Bristol, Not-
tiugham, Sheffield, and other large places, which he is in
the habit of visiting in the pursuit of business. In early
life Mr. Foster served in the army, and went to Egypt
under General Abercrombie. He afterwards became an
artist. He has been four times married, and has a daughter
now living in her eleventh year, she having been born when
her father was 90 years of age.

ALLEGED DEATH FROM WANT.—Yesterday
morning Mr. John Humphreys,
the East Middle-
sex coroner, resumed an inquiry at the Black Horse Tavern
Kingsland-road, relative to the

A SELF-ACCUSED MURDERER.--At the Portsmouth
Police Court, on Saturday, a Young manniaiszed James
on h Grisenthwaite was charged with murderown con-
fession. It appears that the prisoner, who is a gunner of

correspondence relating to the case had been forwarded
to the commander of the northern district at Manchester,
in the belief that the prisoner would have been landed at
Liverpool, in consequence of which Mr. Superintendent
Barber asked the Bench to remand the prisoner for a few
days, in order that he might be enabled to communicate
with the police at Newcastle•upon-Tyne. It is stated that
the prisoner now denies having committed the crime
which he stands self-accused, and states that he made the
confession while suffering from delirium tremens.
ASSSESSMENT OF THE INCOME TAX.—In conse-
quence of several complaints having been made by
the inhabitants of East Kent respecting t y

nor in which assessments are made to the income tax under
Schedule D, Mr. Knatchbull-liugesson, M.P., made a r
presentation to the Board of Inland Revenue, which re.

document states that the persons who assess the ax
professions and trades under schedule D are additional
commissioners elected by the commissioners for the general
purposes of the income tax; that they may be
selected from the inhabitants of the 3 division; that they

THE FRIGHTFUL TRAGEDY IN A CAB.

THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

We take the following from a correspondence in
the Levant Herald :

CORFU, Oct. 19.—The Legislative Assembly having by
their address in reply to the speech of his Excellency the
Lord High Commissioner, declared for the cessation of the
Protectorate of Great Britain, and the perfect and absolute
union of the lonian Islands with the kingdom of Greece
under the crown of his Majesty the King of the nellenes,
George I. and his successors—the annexation may now be
regarded as a fail accompli. The Powers who are parties to
the treaty of 1815 will have to be formally consulted ; but
it is believed that the revised treaty is already prepared, and
will be signed without delay. To celebrate the event the
people of Corfu have held three days' festival (Thursday,
Friday, and
,Saturday, the Sth, 9th, and 10th), during
which time business was nearly entirely suspended ; re
Daunts were sung in the churches ; an address to the Queen
was presented to the Lord High Commissioner ; proeessions
of the clubs and societies, and the peasants from the different
villages, who came in great numbers, with bands of m tsic
ar d flags, walked about the town ; bay leaves scattered by
fair hands fell on them as they passed; and as they walked
along the esplanade and under the arch of St. Michael, with
the Greek clergy and the Metropolitan Archbishop in full
canonicals, in the rear, the sight was very imposing ; every-
body came in for a share of the zetos, and the greatest enthu-
siasm prevailed. On the following Sunday night there was
a general illumination—the various clubs vied with each
other to do honour to the occasion, and crowds of people
walked through their roams, which, in most instances, were
tastefully decorated.

Tne greatest diversity of opinion exists as to the time that
will elapse before the English civil and military establish-
ments are withdrawn, and even the gentlemen connected
with these departments differ in their opinion as much as
the public themselves. The periods named range from three
weeks to two years the former impossible, the latter per-
fectly unnecessary. An occupation of nearly half a century
is not to be terminated very quickly; many matters which
have been put off must now be settled, and there are large
quantities of stores to be removed. The best informed, how-
ever, think that six months will be sufficient for the pur-
pose. England is certainly manifesting the greatest liberality
towards the lonians ; for the Government have expressed
their readiness to give an acquittance in full for the sum of
£90,259 ss. 7d. now owing to Great Britain for arrears of
military contribution, when the Legislative Assembly shall
have declared the Government of her Majesty quit and free
of all claims on the part of the lonian Islands. It is
rumoured that a reply was received by telegraph from
England yesterday to the application of the Assembly re-
specting the fortifications, to the effect that all questions re-
lating thereto would have to be decided by the European
Powers.

A telegram was received last Thursday morning, direct..
lug H.M.S. Orlando to proceed to the Piraeus, and she
steamed out of the harbour early in the afternoon.
