THE WARDROBE OF A LADY OF FASHION.--On
Tuesday last the sale••rooms of Messrs. Debenham, Storr,
and Sons, in Covent-garden,were crowded with the fair sex,
attracted thither by the announcement that the costly ward -
robe of a lady of fashion, deceased, chiefly supplied by an
eminent Parisian modiste within the last twelvemonths,
would be dispersed at the hammer. The extensive room
glittered with rich and gay colour, Genoa velvets, brocaded
silks, sables, cashmeres, laces, mingled together in strange
variety. There were in all 200 dresses of every variety of
material and value, and they realised between £5OO and
£6OO. One of the lots was a moire antique dress with tur-
quoise buttons. The buttons from this dress had been
stolen whilst on view, but the thief having been detected
and the property found on him, the auctioneer announced
that the buttons would be delivered to the purchaser.

THE SUN.
LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1862.

The sportinz world may find compensation for
the loss of the Hop Duty in betting on Church
rate Divisions. The winner, both this year and
last year has got, it not by half a neck but by half
a nose. So, till a general election comes to put an
end to this even running, a fairer betting subject
can hardly be imagined. Clever indeed must be
the calculation which, when 573 persons vote, can
tell which side shall have 286 and which 287. One
thing is very certain—an agitation which com-
mands such a vote, will never be given up till its
object is attained. Were the minority much less
than one vote on a question of religions liberty and
equality, it is absurd to suppose that feeling enough
will not always exist on the wronged side, to keep
up the attack on the oppressing party.
According to the representations of its friends
last night the Church of England should be in a
very pitiable condition. If her existence as an
Established Church be really bound up with Church-
rates, she may well tremble to think that the House
of Commons is so equally divided on the subject of
their abolition. To be sure she can give thanks,
—to whom we will not say—that there is a House
of Lords. But the House of Lords is not a support
to be relied on forever. 3foreover, exception may
soon begin again to be taken to a certain class of
lords—Lord Bishops, voting continually on subjects
in which they have a personal and selfish interest,
while their opponents are wholly unrepresented
in the same House. It comes too near to the case
of a magistrate adjudicating in a matter in which
he has a pecuniary interest. The only comfort
which those who think Church-rates so bound up
with the safety of the Church can find, must be in
turning round and believing with the whole, pro-
bably of the 286, that their abolition would
be a blessing to the Church, not an injury.
That certainly is the opinion of every man,who has
not a mere party object to serve, or who has not
wholly fallen behind the spirit of the age.
The truth is the voting on this question has, on
one side at least, become a purely party affair. The
question no longer is whether the Church of Eng-
land can dispense with Church-rates, and be richer
for their loss, but whether the Right Hon. BENJA-
MIN DISRAELI can use it as one of his stepping
stones to office. It is, he says, now a political ques-

THE HENDON MURDER.

Mr. Giffard applied to the Court to postpone the
trial of James Laurence, who is charged with the
wilful murder of his sweetheart, Anne Cox, to the
next sessions. He said that no counsel had been
instructed either for the prosecution or the defence,
and the depositions were merely placed in his hands
by the officer of the court. He reminded his lord-
ship that the prisoner had wounded himself very
severely, and he was still very ill, and upon this
ground it appeared to him that the trial ought not
to take place at the present sessions.
His lordship granted the application.
The remainder of the day was occupied in dis-
posing of cases, the details of which are unfit for
publication.
At the sitting of the Court a great deal of time
was lost in consequence of the non-attendance of
some of the witnesses, and nearly an hour elapsed
before any business could be proceeded with. Mr.
Justice Willes, in some of the cases, ordered the
recognisances to be entreated.
Mr. Oppenheim, in the course of the day, made
an application to his lordship to take off the estreats,
and gave what appeared to be a satisfactory expla-
nation for the non-attendance of the witnesses.
Mr, Justice Willes said that on this occasion he
would remove the estreats ; but it really must be
understood that persons who were bound over to
give evidence ought to be in attendance, and that
the Court could not be trifled with with impunity.
The Court and jury had been kept waiting that
day for a considerable time, and although he was
not in the habit of making threats, still, undoubt-
edly, if such a thing occurred again, he would take
care that the law should be enforced.

PRICE OF GOLD.

-4.
The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25.275 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 105 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 4-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4261 per mark,
and -the short exchange on London is 13.61 per £1 sterling.
Stan dard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.

The• course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
do dayo' sight is 112 i to 1121 per cent., and the premium ox
gold is about 11 per cent. At the above rates there is a prat
on the ilnportation of gold from the United States.

THE ROLL OF THE PEOPLE.—The civil legia-
tration of births, marriages, and deaths in England and
Val es began on the Ist of July, 1837. By the end of last
year, six months short of a quarter of a century, this
astounding number of names had been registered and trans-
mitted to Somerset •house :—Persons married, 7,086,700 ;

1i9278,790 ; deaths, 9,605,536 ; in all 30,971,026, or

The'arrivals of both wheat and barley are unusually large,
the bulk of the former from the Baltic ports and the Elbe,
and the groater portion of the latter from Denmark. At

wheat, which sold dull, and slig-ntly in favour of buyers.

as follows :

Naples .... £5,400,000 Zmilia
I
Piedmont...... 6,545,000
Lombardy 3,425,000
Tuscany

Total £19,330,000

In relation to these figures it is observed by Mr,
West that it is satisfactory to see that the revenue
has increased, however inadequate it may be to
meet the enormous increase of expenditure and na-
tional debt. In the five years from 1853 to 1858
there was an increase of more than 25 per cent., but
" it must at the same titne be observed that this was
due more to the imposition of new taxes than to the
impulse given to the trade of the country." That
the introduction of free-trade principles has been
attended by salutary results is demonstrated, how-
ever, by the imports and exports, and there is no
doubt that had these principles been more fully
carried out, and had political events not interfered
so materially with all the natural operations of the
country, more striking benefits would have been
witnessed. Concerning the immediate future it is
said that the enormous expenses which have been
incurred in the Neapolitan provinces by the War
Department will probably amount to more than the
revenue of :all the other provinces, and that, how-
ever favourably events may turn out, the Finance
Department will have to provide for a large and,
perhaps, increasing deficit, since it is calculated that
" the conquest or acquisition of Venetia and the
satisfactory solution of the Roman question would
raise the capital of the national debt t0X132,000,000.
On the other hand, it is anticipated that the revenue
would then be 126,000,000, and that with a well-
regulated financial system the interest on this debt
would not absorb more than one• fourth of the ordi-
nary revenue of the kingdom. The public credit
of the country is believed not to have sustained any
material injury from the still uncertain state of
affairs, and it is affirmed that " should the Govern-
ment require a fresh loan to meet any sudden
emergency, they would, doubtless, find a ready sub-
scription."

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.

The Bishop of OXFORD presented a petition against
any bill for amending or altering the services of the
Church of Engiand.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The St. Giles's Disused Burial Ground, Edinburgh
Roads and Streets, Mirl Sussex and Midhurst Junction
Railway, Keighley and North Valley Railway, Midland
Railway (additional powers), Midland Railway (Rowsley
and Buxton Extension), Uxbridge and Rickmansworth
Railway, Rickmansworth, Amersham, and Chesham Rail-
way ; Edgeware, Highgate, and London Railway ; and
Launceston and South Devon Railway bills were read as
second time.

Tha Tendring Hundred Railway Bill was reed a third
time and passed.

REGISTER OF VOTERS BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill.
On clause I being proposed,

The Earl of CARNARVON objected to the bill. He
thought the bill altogether unnecessary, and the effect of
this clause was to render registration compulsory instead
of permissive, that being so he should move an amend-
ment to the effect that registration remain as at present,
viz., permissive.

Lord LVVEDEN objected to the amendment. The
course the noble earl had adopted was to reopen the discus-
sion which took place on the second reading of the bill. If
the house agreed to the alteration proposed the whole object
of the bill would be defeated.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH supported the amend-
ment.

Earl GRANVILLE supported the clause. He thought
the bill would prove a very useful one.
After a short discussion, in which the Earl of DERBY
and Earl GREY took part, the amendment was agreed te.
The remaining clauses were agreed to, 13nd the bill was
reported with amendments.

BILLS OF EXCHEQUER (IRELAND) BILL.
The report of amendments on this bill was brought up
and received.

[LEFT SPEAKING.]

HOUSE OF COMMONS-THIS EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The following bills were read a third time and passed :
East London Water, Tewkesbury and Malvern Railway,
and Wem and Bronygarth Roads.

PETITIONS.

Some petitions were presented in favour of a change in
the Irish Poor-law; against the undue operation of the
Income-tax; for an alteration in the licensing system, &c.

THE HULL CITADEL.

Mr. A. SMITH gave notice that he would move for a
select committee to inquire into the circumstances of the
Hull Citadel being the property of the Crown, as stated in
the debate on the subject the other evening.

ROW PLANTS CHANGE MEM

CILIBACT.E.R.

Plants that are naturally of a silvery or golden
hue cannot be altered in their character, though
they may be spoiled or killed by bad manage-
ment; whereas true variegated plants may be
changed to their original green colour, and the
variegation destroyed by improper management.
This is a matter that practical gardeners—though
they know all about it—do not always bear in
mind as they should, and hence in one garden the
same variety of variegated plant will he seen in
greater perfection than in another. With plants
naturally of a silver hue, all that is necessary is
to provide them with, a soil suited to their consti-
tution ; with variegated plants the soil should gene-
rally be a trifle poorer than for the green-leaved
types of the variegated varieties. We have proved
by experiment that Dandy, one of the loveliest
of the minimum -variegated geraniums, bevotuet as
green as grass when planted out in a soil heavily
manured, and that the same plants, removed into
a poor soil, recovered their variegation, and had the
same beautiful effect as originally. Look at any
border containing a row of the common variegated
mint, and it will be a great chance if you do not
see amongst the plants many strong shoots wholly
green, the plant reverting back to its original con-
dition through being well fed in a rich soil. So
with the pretty variegated Arabis ; one of the best
of plants for a close edging of yellowish grey, it
will every year produce a few green shoots ; and if
those aro not removed, they soon take the whole
strength of the roots to themselves, and, overpower-
ing the variegated shoots, in course of time restore
the plant to the cocditiou of the common green-
leaved Arabis of the borders.— gardener's Jrce"l

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEL

There was only a moderate supply of beasts on offer in
to-day's market, and all breeds sold readily at an advance
in the quotations realised on Monday of 2d per 81bs. The
best Scots and crosses realised 4s 6d per 81bs. The condi-
tion of the stock was prime. Sheep—the show of which
was tolerably good, both as to number and quality—moved
off slowly; prices, however, were supported, We have to
report a dull sale for lambs, at a reduction in value of 4d per
81bs. The quotations ranged from 6s 4d to 7s 8d per 81bs.
The veal trade was in a sluggish state, at barely Monday's
currency. Pigs were firm in price, but mulch cows were
very dull. _ _ _

7,:T11E WARDROBE OF A LADY OF FASHION.—On
Tuesday last the sale-rooms of Messrs. Debenham, Storr,
and Sons, in Covent-garden,were crowded with the fair sex,
attracted thither by the announcement that the costly ward -
robe of a lady of fashion, deceased, chiefly supplied by an
eminent Parisian modiste within the last twelvemonths,
would be dispersed at the hammer. The extensive room
glittered with rich and gay colour, Genoa velvets, brocaded
silks, sables, cashmeres, laces, mingled together in strange
variety. There were in all 200 dresses of every variety of
material and value, and they realised between £5OO and
£6OO. One of the lots was a moire antique dress with tur-
quoise buttons. The buttons from this dress had been
stolen whilst on view, but the thief having been detected
and the property found on him, the auctioneer announced
that the buttons would b 9 delivered to the purchaser.

THE HENDON MURDER.

Mr. Giffard4plieatothe&;;CiO postpchno the
trial of James Laurence, who is charged with the
wilful murder of his sweetheart, Anne Cox, to the
next sessions. He said that no counsel had been
instructed either for the prosecution or the defence,
and the depositions were merely placed in his hands
by the officer of the court. He reminded his lord-
ship that the prisoner had wounded himself very
severely, and he was still very ill, and upon this
ground it appeared to him that the trial ought not
to take place at the present sessions.
His lordship granted the application.
The remainder of the day was occupied in dis-
posing of cases, the details of which are unfit for
publication.

- At the sitting of the Court a great deal of time
was lost in consequence of the non-attendance of
some of the witnesses, and nearly an hour elapsed
before any business could be proceeded with. Mr.
Justice Willes, in some of the cases, ordered the
recognisances to be estreated.
Mr. Oppenheim, in the course of the day, made
an application to his lordship to take off the estreats,
and gave what appeared to be a satisfactory expla-
nation for the non-attendance of the witnesses.
Mr. Justice Willes said that on this occasion he
would remove the estreats ; but it really must be
understood that persons who were bound over to
give evidence ought to be in attendance, and that
the Court could not be trifled with with impunity.
The Court and jury had been kept waiting that
day for a considerable time, and although he was
not in the habit of making threats, still, undoubt-
edly, if such a thing occurred again, he would take
care that the law should be enforced.

THE EASIEST WAY TO THE GREAT

EXHIBITION.

When the mighty show of 18M was about to be
denied a site in Hyde Part, on the very reasonable
remonstrance of the neighbours, who had paid large
sums for the privilege of " peace and quietness,"
many were of opinion that the right place for the
building would be (..t Battersea, by the river's side,
so that it might be easily approachable from all
parts by the steamboats. The ease, the cheapness,
the pleasantness of this sort of conveyance, as com-
pared with the heat and dust of an omnibus, and
the power to convey almost any number with speed,
were no small arguments in favour of this view.
The " Domes," as Punch has christened the
noble warehouse of 1862, are fortunately quite
within easy reach of the steamboats. The Cadogan-
pier is but a very leisurely quarter of an hour's
stroll from the Exhibition, along a finely straight
and pleasant line. From every part of the town
the Cadogan-pier may be reached by the Iron Boats
for 3d. The water happens to be particularly
sweet just now, so that the transit on the river may
well be made a refreshing part of the excursion.
From Cadogan-pier keep straight up Oakley•street,
cross the King's-road to Arthur-street ; this and
Charles-street bring you into the Fulham-road, in
which, if you walk a little eastward (to your right),
and go up Sydney-place and Cromwell-plane, you
stand before the south front of the New Industrial
Palace. We trust this may prove an useful itinerary
to many of our friends, to whom South Kensington
is as yet rather an unknown region, and who are
little inclined to be dragged slowly through the
streets to find it.

Two Brigham fishermen were drowned off Ply-
mouth, on Wednesday afternoon, through having been
knocked off their boat by the boom of a passing sloop.
TEE £l,OOO DIAMOND RING.—The Drncepriinga
at common law, and bubsequently at equity, before Vice-
Chancellor Kindersley, in reference to the splendid single-
stone diamond ring, sold by Messrs. Lambert and Rawlings
to Mr. R. C. Savage for £l,OOO, and afterwards pawned at
Mr. Attenborough's, in Piccadilly, have resulted in its sale
by auction by order of the Court of Chancery, and yester-
day Messrs. Debenham, Storr, and Son submitted this
magnificent stone to public competition, at their great mart
in Covent-garden. The first offer was £5OO. The bidding
continued up to £6lO, at which sum, there being no further
biddings, the auctioneer announced that the reserve price
fixed by the court was .700, and so withdrew the ring.
1 The catalogue included a great variety of highly valuable
I jeewel,-; and b:jouterie, which drew together a large assem-
blage of connoisseurs and others interes ed in such property.

At the saute time a pair of splendid car tops,
a brilliant of remarkable size and great lustre (suppose
each set with
weight of atoms, together 141 carats), was sold for £5201

ATTEMPT TO MURDER.

John Cox, an excavator, was indicted for attempting to
murder his wife.

The prosecutor said she resided in Whitechapel, and on
the night of the 14th April the prisoner came home about
twelve o'clock at night in a beastly state of intoxication,
and in a short time after he began to quarrel, and then he
wrenched a leg out of a wooden arm-chair, and commenced
beating her about the head in a very savage manner. She
called out for help, but the more she implored for mercy
the more he beat her. After he had beaten her with the leg
of the chair, he took up a flat iron and struck her a
blow, which produced insensibility. On coming to she
found the police in the house, and then she was conveyed to
the London Hospital, and the prisoner was secured by the
police.
The stepdaughter of the prisoner corroborated the evi-
dence of her mother.

Tho police-constable said when he took tho prisoner into
custody he told him he had nearly murdered his wife, and
said it was a good job, and he'd,odo for her completely
before long. _

The prisoner, who was undefended, said his wife had
aggravated him to a very great degree by calling him
names and pulling his nose and whiskers, before he struck
her. They had both been out drinking, and she was as
much in fault as he was.

The prosecutrix was recalled by the learned judge, and
said the whole of the statement of the prisoner was false.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of feloniously wound-
ing his wife, with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
The Learned Judge said it was a most brutal assault,
and he sentenced the prisoner to five years' penal servitude.

FOURTH COURT.
LIBEL,

The case of Mr. Matthews Orr, editor and proprietor of
the Eentisk Journal, published at Woolwich, who stands
indicted for publishing a false and scandalous libel on Mr.
Alex. Stark, of that town, was postponed until next session.

We extract the following from the Sydney _Herald
of Jan. 21 :

" Parliament was prorogued yesterday by his
Excellency Sir John Young, after an unusually
short session of four months and a half. Short as
the session was the congratulations of the governor
upon the successful result of the labours of the two
houses were quite appropriate, as a larger number
of important measures have been passed within that
period than during any previous session. The Land
Bills were within a few days after Parliament re-
assembled passed rapidly through the lower house
with scarcely a single alteration, and were without
any material emendations agreed to by the Council;
the new nominees, though disapproving of the
government land policy, considering that under the
circumstances of the case, they were to some extent
bound to endorse the proceedings of the other
branch of the legislature. A similar view was

from the parapet of the house, which is five storeys high.
Mr. Spencer Lambert said that on Saturday night he was
told that the prisoner, who was under notice to leave his
house in consequence of her drunken habits, was out on the
parapet, the house being five storeys high. He immediately
went up and found the prisoner out in the gutter, and she
said she would jump off unless he promised to give her a
good character. He dragged the prisoner into the room,
she at the time hanging half way over the parapet, and then
gave her into custody.
