POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day,

DIVORCE COURT.
(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Jury.)
STONE V. STONE AND APPLETON.

MARL BOhOUGH-STREET.

This was a petition presented by the husband, Captain
Stone, an officer in the Indian army, for dissolution of mar-
riage. The co-respondent, Mr. Appleton, was a medical
man, and it was alleged that the familiarity took place while
Mrs. Stone was living at Budleigh-Salterton. The peti-
tioner asked for damages against the co-respondent, who
had put in no answer to the allegations in the petition.
The hearing of the cause was resumed this morning by
the evidence of Mr. Webb and Mr. Northcote, the medi •
cal gentlemen who attended Mrs. Stone in her onfinement.
Mr, Casey was also examined, and said Appleton left the
country, as far as he knew, in consequence of his being in
debt.

Whighty Roberts, a magistrate in Cornwall, and an
intimate friend of Captain Stone's family ; he also knew
Mrs. Stone's family. He recollected being present at an
interview on the 23d of December, 1860, when Messrs.
Brag, Stevenson, and Bishop, were present. it took place
in Mr. Bishop's office in Exeter. At the meeting it was
arranged that Mrs. Stone should go into lodging. A eon-
versaticn took place relative to the medical man who was to
attend Mrs. Stone in her confinement.

Mr. Kerslake objected to further examination on that
point.
Mr. Lopez said Mr. Bishop was ac ing for Mrs. Stone
The Judge-Ordinary said the evidence as to that part of
the case could not be received, unless it was proved in evi-
dence that one of the gentlemen were acting for Mrs. Stone.
Mr. Lopez said be could not do that, mid therefore he
should not question the witness further.
In cross-examination the witness said he was the person
who paid Susan Harris the 6s. a week as the representative
of the petitioner's family.
Mr. Lopez having read the letter written by Capt. Stone
on the 10th of March, 1861, which was referred to in the
opening of the case yesterday, said that was the case for
the petitioner.
Mr. Kerslake then procceeded to open the case on the
part of the respondent, and said he trusted by the evidence
he should call to give quite a different aspect to the case
as it at present stood His learned friend had truly stated
that this was a most painful case, for it would be attended
with the most serious results either to Capt. or Mrs. Stone.
It had beeu said the cam against the co-respondent Appleton
had been proved by his not putting in an answer to charges
b ought against him, but he thought the jury would not
entertain that opinion. It was true that Appleton was ab-
sent, but tnen that absence was not occasioned by anything
bearing upon this case, but by circumstances of a totally
different nature. He hoped they would dismiss every bug.
gestion of any adultery by Mr. Appleton, because he was
absent from England when the citation was issued, and al-
though the usual means, through advertisement, had been
used without success to make him acquainted with the steps
that were to be taken in this court against Mrs. Stone, he
thought it was going too far to say that non-appearance
implied admission of guilt. He could only regret that, after
Captain Stone and his wife had passed the terrible mutiny
in India, that such unfortunate differences should have
arisen between them as to lead the husband to seek for re-
dress in this court. The learned counsel then proceeded to
show that the intimacy between Captain Stone and Mr.
Appleton was that of intimate friends, and when Captain
Stone left England to return to India in 1859,
he had left Mr. Appleton with a knowledge
that his fib nd Mr. Appleton was also ths friend and medi-
cal adviser et his wife He then proceeded to analyse and
commmont on the evidence that had been brought forward
to establish the alleged adultery between Mrs. Stone and
Mr. Appleton, and contended that nothing had been adduced
wh ch, in the slightest manner, to prove the allegations in
the petition. The learned gentleman then referred to a
number of letters he ititended to put in evidence, which
would show that there was no pretence for Captain Stone
bringing forward the charge of adultery against his wife.
The case was proceeding when we w nt to press, and as
there are 10 or 12 witnesses to be called for the respondent,
tnere is no chance of its conclu ing to-day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
IN RE LEWIS.

This bankrupt was a draper in Clerkenwell, and this was
a meeting for last examination.

It appeared that the bankrupt had absconded, and, on
surrendering, had been convicted of offences under the
bankruptcy laws, and sentenced to penal servitude, but Ivid
a portion of his sentence remitted, and now applied to pass
his last eraraination.

His Honour said there was nothing before him to show
the accounts were correct.

The solicitor to the assignees said that he believed they
were the best the bankrupt could render, and the assignees
therefore did not oppose. Th bankrupt had given infor-
mation which might be benefi3ial to the creditors.
His Honour—He can pass

SHERIFFS' COURT..
(Befi re Mr. Kerr.)

" SOMEBODY'S LUGGAGE" AT THE DR. JOHNSON-A VISIT

TO LONDON.--WILLIAMS V. STOCKER.

This was an action to recover for refreshments, &c., from
May 9, to July 3, 1862, plaintiff being proprietor of the Dr.
Johnson, and defendant, a young gentleman living with
his f4ther at Wolvt rhampton.

His Honour (reading through a monstrously long bill)—
Pyramids, pyramids, and pyramids. Here is the most ex-
traordinary bill I ever saw. On cue day defendant had
seven pyramids, on another four, and on another no less
than eleven. One would think he had bought all the pyra-
mids of Egypt. (Laughter.) What on earth is a pyramid,
and what could he want with so many ?
Plaintiff—lt is a game at billiards. (Laughter.)
His Honour Well, defendant, and did you have
all these pyramids, and brandies, whiskeys, grogs, and—
well, upon my word I—champagne 2s. (Laughter.) The
last item carries its own punishment with it. (Great
laughter.)
Defendant—l admit all the pyramids, but I deny all the
other items prior to the 6th June.
His Honour—Ah I you dispute, then, very nearly all the
bill ?
40 39 Defendant—l admit from the 6th June.

100 i i

1071

1111 }.

His Honour—Even this on June 19th :—Four pyramids,
bottle sherry, brandy, grogs, and I cannot tell what else P
Defendant—l do not see how plaintiff can sue here. He
has sold the debt for 30s. to a man named Briant. The first
bill he sent me did not nearly come to the present claim,
£8 4s. I admit about £3, whieh I am willing to pay, and
when I left London there was a carpet bag, and desk, and
hat-box, which I left behind. 1 here were cl. ithes and
things in them, which would partially rub off the score.
(Laughter.)

- His Honour—And a pretty long sum, too, for billiards,
brandy, and sherry.

Plaintiff expressed his willingness to accept £4 3s. Bd. in
Lull of all demands, and a verdict passed for that sum,

BRUNT V. STOCKER.

This was an action against the same defendant to recover
£5, money lent.
Defendant—l do not owe the money, but will admit it to
save dispute.
Plaintiff—lt was lent him to get a bed and breakfast.
(Laughter.)

Defendant—lt was not, but I do not wish to go into

matters.

His Honour—Ah : here is another billiard affair.

Defendant—No; but I had rather not say anything. I
came to London, stayed longer than I ought to have done,
and—

His Honour (finishing the sentence)—Spent money most
foolishly.
Verdict for plaintiff.

CAUTION TO BEER-SHOP KEEPERS.-Mr. Daniel Bard,
the keeper of a beer-shop in High-street, St, Giles, attended
to answer the complaint of the police for keeping his house
open for the sale of beer before the hour of one on Sunday
afternoon.

Sergeant Matthews, 13 p, deposed that at half- past one
on Sunday morning, the 15th inst., he went to the defen-
dant's house, and through a hole in the door he saw a man
come down stairs and place two empty pots on the counter,
and then put down some money. Immediately after the
pots were handed back full of beer to the man, who took
them upstairs. He (the sergeant) then knocked at the door,
upon which the gas was turned off. A voice from within
said "Who's there ?" and on replying " Police," he was
admitted. On going into an upper room no ono was there
but the potman, but on opening the door leading to a back
staircase a quart pot and three measures fall of beer were
found on the floor, and under the stairs and on the staircase
five men. One of them had a quart measure full of beer in
his hand, which he threw on the floor on seeing them (the
sergeant and constable)
The sergeant having been corrolcorrated by a constable
the defendant called a witness, but his evidence in no re-
spect alter:d the complexion of the case.
The defendant was fined 20s. and costs.

INCREASE OP POCKET-PICKING AT THE REGENT-
CIRcus.—Jane Rivers, a well-dressed female, said to be a
married woman, but who refused her address, was charged
before Mr. Knox with attempting to pick ladies' pockets
in Regent-circus.

Mr. Beard, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the pri-
soner.

From the evidence of Sergeant White, 16 D, it appeared
that in consequence of numerous complaints of ladies hav-
ing their pockets picked at the Regent-circus, he was on
duty there the previous afternoon, when seeing the prisoner
in company with a woman whom he' knew as a convicted
thief, he watched them, and saw two other women join them.
He then saw the prisoner twice put her left hand into
Mies' pockets, and seized her, upon which she said, "Don't
show me up here; let me take your arm." He did so, and
when in Cavendish-square, the prisoner said she would
give him a sovereign she had in her pocket, and meet him
at night and give bim what he wanted if he would let her
go. He took her to the station, and on being searched a
diamond hoop ring, three sovereigns, and £1 Os. 9d. in silver
was found upon her. She refused her address.
Mr. Beard said he could scarcely account for the priso-
ner's conduct, except that she had been I•.d away by others.
The husband was a man of some means, and he (Mr. Beard)
was instructed that the prisoner left her home in the morn-
ing in a passion, having had some words with her hus-
band.

A NEW' CANDIDATE FOR, THE THRONE
OF GREECE.

Mr. Knox said he could hardy believe a woman in the
prisoner's position would wear such a ring.
Sergeant White said he thought it just prolable, from
inquiries he had made, that ;he ring really belonged to ,he
prisoner.
Remanded.

(From the Times.)

The talents of the Coburgs have been conspicuous.
King Leopold, the late Prince Consort, and the
present Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha have been men
much above the ordinary standard. They have had
great opportunities, and have known Low to use
them. Neither the Prince Consort nor the King of
Portugal could, without offence, have taken a share
in the politics of England and Portugal unless they
had been gifted with much prudence and circum-
spection. No one who studies their history will
believe that they and their kinsmen have merely
had greatness thrust upon them. But, on the other
hand, it cannot be doubted that they owe all to the
excellent start which Prince Leopold's good fortune
gave their house. Had it not been for the elevation
of the young soldier to the highest station in Eng-
land, the Coburgs, instead of planting dynasties
everywhere, might have been no more than any of
the five•and-thirty German reigning families, or the
multitude of Princely and Serene, but mediatised
personages who are scattered through the land. But
when Leopold became an English Prince, and his
sister was the mother of the heiress presumptive to
the British Throne, the path to greatness was open
to the enterprise of the family. How much one
success leads to another in princely life has been
shown in their history, and we have adverted to it
because, if report speaks true, another family,
which a few years since, was of hardly more account
in Europe, is at this moment entering on a similar
career.

Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, whom
poets are fabling to be a child of the Sea Kings, is
the daughter of Prince Christian of the house of
Schleswig-Holstein Sonderburg-Glucksburg, who
was himself but a few 'ears ago a long way from the
succession to the Danish Crown. It was not
until after the Battle cf Istedt and the reference
of the Danish question to the great Powers,
that the succession was settled on Prince Chris-
tian and his male heirs by the Treaty of May
8, 1852, and even after this there was so
much dissatisfaction at the claim of Russia to
succeed to a portion of the monarchy that the law
was not finally settled until the summer of 1853,
when Prince Christian and h s family received the
title of Royal Highness. Thus, the Royalty or our
Princess's f .mily is less than 10 years old, and cor-
responds more to a span-new Peerage than anything
that we are accustomed to associate with continental
monarchy. But see flow soon in these days e, grand
posit'on may be achieved. We understand that the
first result of the late auspicious marriage is that
Prince William, brother to her Royal Highness,
vii.l be recommended to the Greek nation for their
King. The Prince is a little younger than Prince
Alfred, having been born on the 24th Dec., 1845.
He is also a sailor, which will, no doubt, be a re-
commendation to him in the eyes of so maritime a
people. He is also a non Catholic, which is essen-
tial to the success of a ruler at Athens ; and being
so young and closely connected with a Constitu-
tional Court there is every reason to believe that he
may become a prudent and serviceable King. It is
to be hoped that the Greeks will close with this
offer, which is the best they are ever likely to re-
ceive, The brother of a prospective King of Den-
mark and of a Queen of England is a personage
more illustrious than is likely soon to be proposed
to a country which has so little to offer in return.
Of cours, there is more than one personage to con-
, sult. So far as we can learn, the Prince's family
and the British Government have consented to the
recommendation, and we can hardly presume that
the King of Denmark will offer any objection, un-
less it be on the ground that Prince William
stands in the same relation to the Danish monarchy
as Prince Alfred to that of England—that he is
the second brother to the heir to the Throne, and
may, perhaps, himself be called upon to govern.
Bat this contingency ought not to stand in the
way of Prince William's fortunes, for iu the
case of Pzince Alfred it would certainly not have
teen so strongly urged had there not been other
weighty reasons which do not exist in the case of a
Danish Prince. Nor can the other Powers of
Europe have any f ult to find with the candidate
whom the British Government will present for the
choice of the Greek people. The Danish family is
on the most friendly terms with the Czar, with
whom it is connected by relationship not very re •
mote; and France can have no reason for objecting
to a Prince whose parent state can never be powerful
enough; to exercise an inconvenient influet.ce in the
Eist.

As .to the Greeks themselves, they must be
anxious to put an end to the present interregnum.
The state of the country is at present one of anarce)
—not anarchy in the worst sense of the word, but et
a kind sufficiently dangerous to make all prudent
men desirous of fitting the throne as soon as possible.
The finances of the kingdom are in confusion, and
must remain so as long as there is only a Provisional
Government, without the power to enforce taxation
or the reputation which can inspire confidence in tht
minds of foreign capitalists. Alt hough the Govern-
ment has given very praiseworthy signs of a desire
to economise, yet these savings can effect little
unless the permanent ruler of the country be at
once installed, and its institutions take the form
which European Governments believe to be neces
sary for national progress. In Prince William the
Greeks will have a King almost as closely connected
with English Royalty as Prince Alfred himself, and
when they have elected him they will be in a posi-
tion to claim the fulfilment of England's promise to
cede to them the lonian Islands. It would be
strange if, with all these advantages, they should
hesitate to approve the candidate whom the Eng-
lish nation presents to them.

But there is another report, which, if true, com-
pletes the triumph of the Danish family. It is that
the Princess D4gmar, who is now in her sixteenth
year, is to be affianced to the Cesarewitch Nicholas,
who is of about the same age. Such a series of
events, which would place on thrones present or
future four of the children of a Prince who, but a
few years ago, was not even in the front rank of
European personages, wou:d be certainly a singular
instance of Fortune's favours. But it is thus that
the goddess acts, and we may be glad that in this
case her blessings would be showered on a family
which all allow to be eminently worthy of the
highest stations to which they may be called.

THE MODES OF COLOURING GLASS.--We learn
from further inspection and the comments of our
guide that there are two methods of colouring the bub-
bles we see all around us. The ono is by using coloured
" metal" entirely ; the other by " fiashing"—costing
white glass with a thin film of colour only. All colours
may be " flashed ;" red must be, because the colour-
ing matter used would render the glass blown entirely
from red "metal," opaque. So in order to be in-
ducted into the mysteries of "flashing," we seek cut a
workman who is about to Wow a red bubble. The process,
we find, is very simple. Having gathered, upon the end of
his blow-pipe, a ball of white metal, the operator, before
carrying it to the " marver," g,ves it a twirl in a pot of red
metal, and then goes on with his blowing. The two colours
retain their relative positions throughout every succeeding
process; as the one grows thinner and thinner the other
grows thinner and thinner; and the final result is a sheet of
white glass coated with red on one side. Passing on from
one workman to another, we notice that though there are
bubbles of every other colour, there are no yellow ones ; and
u asking the reason, we are told that all the shades of
yellow are produced, not out of ye'low metal, nor by flash-
ing, but by staining white glass.— Once a Week.
EFFECT OF COLOUR ON DISEASE.-11e power
of colours over diseases, once supposed to exist
may be considered as a branch of sympathetic medicine.
White substances were considered ro'rigerant, and red
ones 'mating. Red flowers were given for diseases of the
blood, and yellow ones for the bile. In small-pox, red
coverings, bed-curtains, &c., were used to bring out the
eruption. The patient was only to look at red
substances, and his drink was coloured red. The physi.
cian of Edward 11. treated the king's son successfully
by this rule ; and, as lately as 1765, the Emperor Francis
1., when sick of the smallpox, was, by order of his phy si-
clans, rolled up in a scarlet cloth, but he died notwith-
standing. Flannel, nine times died blue, was used for
glandular swellings. To this day the tradition, remains that
,;ertain colours are good for certain disorders, thousands
of people believe that red flannel is better than white for
rheumatism, A red string worn round the neck is a com-
mon preventive of 11900-bleed,--OM a Week.

Lord CHELMSFORD presented a petition from the in-

The Earl of DERBY presented a petition from Toxteth

The Archbishop of YORK presented several petitions
from places in his dioc se.
GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY (NEW METROPO-
LITAN STATION) BILL.

The motion for resuming the adjourned debate on this
bill having been read.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said he hal already
spoken on this subject, but he thought the best speech tha
could be made was to read the 17th section, in page 6, of
Colonel/Yolland's :report. (' Hear, hear," from the Earl
of Derby), He moved that the ball be read a second time
that day six months.

Earl GRANVILLE said it would be very unsatisfactory
to postpone all the bills for the metropolitan railways till next
session, because they would not be in a better position then
than now. What he thought best was to have a committee
appointed to inquire into all these bills, and report upon the
general scheme of metropolitan railways, and point out
what bills they thought ought to be passed and those that
ought to stand over for their consideration next session.
Earl GREY approved of such a course, as the sul ject
could not be well considered this session, and ought not to
be taken up with reference to bills by particular companies.
The subject deserved a scientific consid. ration,such as it could
not be expected a committee of the house could give it. The
railway scheme of the metropolis ought to be under the super-
intendence of some public body like the Metropolitan Board
of Works, who might let out particular portions of the work
to existing or other railway companies. It was not for the
house to appoint a committee, but the Government vi ere
bound to accept the responsibility of introducing some
general measure. In the meantime he did not think it
would be safe to press any of the bills this session.
The Du-,e of S iMERSET said the noble lord said that
the Board of Work. were to settle the scheme of metropoli-
tan rails a; a, ma afterwards the public were to make them ;
but he &heti d like to know whe.ner they would do so. He
supported the proposal for a committee to report upon the
general scheme, This would prevent any injustice being
done to any particular line.

The Earl of DERBY reminded the house th tt the ques-
tion under consideration was the second reading of the bill,
Ample tiu e had been given since the first obj -ctions to the
till, five weeks mg to enable the company to refute these
obj,,cliorls, but no answer had been given. The case was left
where it stood, and the report of C 1. Yolland substantiated
every objection he (Lae Earl of Derby) had made to the
bill. Not only w sit to run parallel to another line already
sanctioned, and take up the open space in Finsbury-circus,
but from the level at which it was to be brought in to the
terminus-19 feet above the surface—it would be of no use
112 completing the M, tropolitan Railway, by which com-
munication with the north and south was to be effected.
since the other schemes proposed had their terminus at
Finsbury many feet below the surface. The object o: ap-
pointing a Royal Commission was not to lay down any
particular principle for an intercommunication between all
the railways north and south without changing car-
riages.

After some further remarks the bill was thrown out.

and Palace-yard, with the view of proposing that it be con-
structed more in consonance with the architecture of the
new public offices, and with a view to the proper accom-
modation of the traffic.
POSTAGE.
Mr. CAVE asked the Secretary to the Treaaury, whetber
it was intended to abandon the principle of an uniform rate
of postage to British possessions abroad, by doubling the
charge upon letters to the British West India colonies,
while reducing that upon letters conveyed by the same line
of pickets to foreign countries, even at a greater distance;
and, if to, for what reason ?

place such a question upon the books. He had never heard
of the proceedings referred to ; indeed, he did not believe
that anything of the kind had ei:eurred.
The SPEAKER explained that no member was entitled to
engraft upon a question, statements;, or arguments, save
auch as were requisite to elucidate tilt" question he desired
to put. Probably no great question could be raised with
respect to the use of the epithet' disloyal." (Hear, hear.)
Sir R. PEEL denied most emphatically that the question
had been framed or put in consent with him. (Hear, bear.)
The other night the hon, member stated to him that he in-
tended to put such a question, and he told him, in reply,
that it was his duty to answer any question that might be
put to him by hon. members with respect to Ireland. (Hear,
hear.) He had never acted as imputed, and most assuredly
never would. Turning to the question, he said these disturb-
ances on March 10 were a matter ofpublie notoriety, but he
could with reason affirm that those disturbances in two or
three localities in any way justly represented publics opinion
in Ireland. (Loud cheers.) It would, of course, be very
unfair if the conduct of a handful of unruly people were to
underweigh, to the very smallest extent, the general at-
tachment to the throne which prevailed among the great
bulk of the Irish people. (Loud cheers.) lie had read in
the papers that the I'riuco of Wales had, on the
10th instant, been burnt in effigy at Kilrush
and " Ballingh." In 1861 he himself had been
burnt in effigy—(laughter)--but on subsequently twice
visiting this town be was treated with the greatest respect,
not the slightest ill-feeling having been manifested. (Hear,
and laughter.) It was a tact that the loyalty of Ireland wag
sound at the core. In London or elsewhere it was easy to
organise a few idle people to commit any absurd or unmean-
ing act, of of which really school boys would be ashamed.
He was a witness of the loyal feelings with which the
Sovereign was received in Ireland in 1861, and nothing
could be more sincere or cordial. He was sure if the Prince
of Wales and his bride were to visit Ireland they would
receive as warm a welcome as in any other Tart of tha
United Kingdom. (Cheers.)

Mr. SCULLY apol gised for his aspersion on the right
hon. baronet, and put a long string of questions tp him, in
eff-ct—Did the right hon. baronet regard the recent demon-
strations at Cork and other places as expressions of dis-
loyalty towards the Qucen and the Prince of Wahlt ? lead
any precautionary measures been taken ? had the students
of Trinity College taken any part in the riots on the 10th:
Was there such a place as " Bellina ?"

Mr. F. PEEL explained that the former rate of 6d. had
been abandoned, because it was insufficient to cover the
expense. The increased rate, however, had not dimi-
nished the amount of correspondence. Two optional rates
had been adopted, a higher oue where the parties required
speed, and a lesser one where they did not.
Sir S. NORTHCOTE asked if the contract with the

Railway between Greenwich and Woolwich.

Last night, at eight o'clock, a crowded public
meeting of the inhabitants of Greenwich was held
at the Literary Institution in that town, to consider
the proposition of the London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway Company to provide railway communi-
cation between Peckham, Deptford, Greenwich,
and Woolwich. The chair was occupied by Cap-
tain Routh, and on the platform were Mr. W.
Angerstein, M.P. ; Sir Cusack Roney, one of the
directors ; and Mr. Holroyd, secretary of the
company, with numerous influential residents of
the locality.
The CHAIRMAN at some length pointed out the
great necessity which existed for railway commu-
nication between Greenwich and Woolwich and

the peculiar advantages offered by the proposed
line, which would pass through Greenwich Park
by means of a tunnel, and therefore the objection
previously mnde by the Admiralty, that the con-
stant transit of trains might injuriously affect the
operations at the Royal Observatory, would be
obviated. The population of the borough of Green-
wich amounted to 139,436, and the important towns
