HER MAJESTY.

WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 9,
The Queen, accompanied by her Royal Highness
the Princess Louise, walked and drove in the park
this morning,

To-day is the anniversary of the birthday of his
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.

Mr. Theodore Jenson has had the honour of
placing his state portraits of their Rlyal Highnesses

for the inspection of her Majesty.

The Prince and Princess of Wales.
SAN DRINCHAM, 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 Farstenstein, Mr. Odo
Russell, the Countess of Morton, and the Countess
Hohenthal, attended Sandringham Church yester-
day morning. The Rev. G. B. Moron, 8.A., offi-
ciated.

His Royal Highness Prince Frederick of Den•
mark, attended by Captain Lund, and the Hon,
R. H. Meade, arrived at Sandringham last evening,
on 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 clergy
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 T. 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 (Channel° 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 depriv,d the public of the ser-
vices of one of the most eminent judges, differed from them
in opinion.

(Before Sir J. P. Wilde.)
FINLEY V. THE GUARDIANS OF ST. GEORGE'S-IN-THE

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, and
therefore he thought the application should be granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBORO UGI-1-STREET.

THE ILLUMINATIONS.—PICKING POCKETS.—TWO lads
named Henry Bolton and Henry Perry were charged before
Mr. Manfitld 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
persona 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
not 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 ho supposed he
must put up with it.

THAMES.
A TERMACUNT.—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 be 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
glass•, who bled fearfully.
Mr. Joseph Arthur, surgeon, of High-street, Shad well,
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 oue, 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-
'ully 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.-011 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-
tingham, Sheffield, and other large placas, 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 aftefwards 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.

A LLEGI ED DEATH PItOM WANT.—Yesterday
morning Mr. John Humphreys, the East Middle-
sex coroner, resumed an inquiry at the Black Horse Tavern,
Kingsland-road, relative to the death of Benjamin Mcnzie,
aged 49 years, who, it was alleged, had died from want and
destitution through his non-a.dmission to Shoreditch work-
house. The deceased had been a shoemaker, and lived in
a wretched room at No. 4, Hereford-street, Shoreditch. He
had been unable to follow his occupation, and with his son
had suffered great privations. Their chief support had
been bread and tea. On Monday
week the deceased applied
at the workhouse of St. L:onard, Shoreditch, where he saw
Mr. George Rogers, the relieving-officer, who visited the
deceased, and ordered him to attend on the Wednesday.
He was offered 2s. per week and a 41b. loaf, or, if ho thought
proper, admission to the workhouse. He took the relief
and also a medical order for the attendance of Dr, Major
Greenwood, who prescribed for him. On the following
morning the deceased was found dead in bed by the side of
his son. Mr. Edward Waller, the summoning officer, said
that he found the room in a most wretched and filthy
condition and without furniture. Dr. Greenwood said that
the deceased died from aneurism of the aorta. The body
was very muperhopeemr ancoivarteisdh,maenndt.decmears.ednohgaedrss,uffthereedreflrieovm.

the allegations set forth at the former inquiry by the son.
The jury unanimously agreed to a veraict of " Natural
death from rupture of the aorta." The inquiry then
terminated. _ _

A SELF-ACCUSED MURDERER.—At the Portsmouth
Police Court, on Saturday, a young ma, named James
Grisenthwaite was charged with murder on his own con-
fession. It appears that the prisoner, who is a gunner of
the Bth brigade Royal Artillery, was brought to the above
port in her Majesty's ship Adventure by order of the
Commander-in-Chief, in consequence of his having con-
fessed, whilst at Nova Scotia, that ho had murdered a
young woman, named Isabella Wilkinson, at Newcastle-
upon-Tyne, in 1853. It appeared that the whole of the
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 Nescastle•upon-Tyne. It is stated that
the prisoner now denies having committed the crime of
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 Sent respecting the arbitrary man-
ner in which assessments are made to the income tax under
Schedule D, Mr. Knatchbull-Hugesson, M.p., made a re-
presentation to the Board of Inland Revenue, which re-
sulted in the issue of a memorandum by that body. The
document states that the persons who assess the tax on
professions and trades under schedule D are additional
of
the
income
tax; thater3 for the general
they may
commissioners elected by the commission
purposes be
selected from the inhabitants of thel division; that they
are under an oath to execute the powers and authorities
vested in them " truly, faithfully, impartially, and
honestly, according to the best of their skill and know-
ledge;" that in making the increased charges complained
of the additional commissioners formed the estimates of the
profits from their own knowledge of the different concerns;
and that in the case of a person entitled to the abatement
of duty in respect of £6O, the relief can only be granted
upon his preferring a claim for the same, and proving to the
satisfaction of the general commissioners that his total in-
come from all sources, though amounting to £lOO, is led
than £2OO a year.
THE RESIDENCE OF TIIE LATE MR. AUGUSTUS
Egg, which is called the Elms, and is the next house to
Cetmpden House, and the subject of a recent extraordinary
trial, has been purchased by Mr. Alfred Wigan.

THE FRIGHTFUL TRAGEDY IN A CAB.

APPREHENSION AND SUICIDE OF THE
MURDERER.

The mystery surrounding the above horrible tragedy is
now at an end, the murderer having been apprehended this
morning, and by some means having succeeded in com-
mitting suicide soon afterwards, There is reason to be-
lieve that he had prepared himself with the poison for the
purpose, and carried it ablut with him.

It appears that a man named Pearson, living in a row
of cottages known as Ann's Cottages, Wellington.road,
Camberwell-lane, having read in the newspapers the de-
scription of the murdered woman and children, and being
struck with the similarity to that of a female and two little
girls nau_ed Hunt, who resided next door to him, gave in-
formation to the police, and on their going to the house
and seeing a man who admitted himself to be Mr. Hunt,
and reading the description of the deceased woman and
children to him, he admitted that it was his wife and chil-
dren. The police then took the man to the station, and
while on the road he became very sick and vomited. On
reaching the station the man was so ill that it was deemed
advisable to send for a medical man, and notwithstanding
his assistance the man expired, evidently from the effects
of poison, thus adding the crime of felo ds se to that of
murder.

The murderer was traveller to Messrs. Macculloch and
Butler, herbalists, of Covent-garden Market.

As soon as possible the cabman who had been engaged
by the murderer to drive him and his victims from the
railway station could be found, he was taken to the sta-
tion to see the body, and he at once identified him as the
man who had engaged him, and who was with the deceased
woman and children on Saturday night.

A letter-carrier also identified the bodies of the female
and the two children as the wife and children of Hunt.
Dr. La:kester, the coroner; has been informed of the
suicide of the murderer.

COLONIAL.
TEA.—Business has been moderately active, and at the
public sales prices generally have been well maintained.
SVGAR.—The market has been rather dull, although
prices have not varied to any important extent for good
grocery qualities of West India. In the refined market
there is little change to report, the small quantity of goods
on offer, however, tends to keep up prices.
COFFEE.—The demand for colonial descriptions has
been steady, and late prices have been well sustained. The
stocks on hand are still comparatively larger than usual at
this period of the season.
RICE.—The dealings have been of the most limited de-
scription; holders, however, demand fully late rates.
TALLow.—The market has been rather quiet. The
course of political events in Poland, however, has caused
some speculation in time bargains. P.Y.C. on the spot is
quoted 43s 9d to 445, and spring delivery 44s to 44s 6d per
cwt.
