be better in the first instance to hear counsel on the
other side.
Mr. M. Smith was then heard on the other side,
but had not concluded when the Court rose.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before Sir C. Cress Well and a Special Jury.)
BILANDRETH V. BRANDRETH.
This was a suit instituted to prove in solemn form
the will of Mr. Thos. Bran dreth, late of Ormskirk,
near Liverpool, who died on. the 25th of February,
1857. The instrument in question consisted of a
will dated the 11th of Awns t, 1856, which was
admitted to be genuine, and th re c codicils, bearing
date respectively the 23d of .A..u.gust, the 19th of
Sept., 1856, and 17th of Feb., 18t.i7. The testator
by the last codicil bequeathed his household
slid also named
furniture to his niece, Mrs. Mary Brandreth,
wife of the Rev. Canon Brandreth,
her sole executor, with a power of appointment
under a previous will. He left the w.hole of his
property, amounting to about £1,400 aye r,
to be
divided between his two nieces, the lady just men-
tioned, who is the plaintiff, and the other, who is
the defendant. The last mentioned mile') was
alleged by the plaintiff not to have been duly exe-
cuted, and to have been made under undue in-
fluence, and by means of fraud.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AND LOSS OF

THREE LIVES.

Yesterday morning, shortly before 3 o'clock, a
destructive fire broke out in the extensive premises
of Mr. Bristow's cooperage, Dockhead,Bermondsey.
The fire was discovered by the police, and before an
alarm was raised the flames shot high in the air,
illuminating the metropolis for miles around. The
powerful steam engine of Messrs. Shand and Mason
was shortly on the spot, followed by the floating
steam engine of the Southwark-bridge, as well as
the land engines from m ,ny other places, but the
flames spread with amazing rapidity, although a
good supply of water was obtained and the engines
were got to work in a most admirable manner under
the direction of Captain Shaw, M. K. Henderson,
and foreman Jerrard, many thousands pounds worth
of property was destroyed, as well as the adjoining
premises. Cause unknown. The loss will fall on
the Union, Atlas, and other offices.
Another fire, attended with the loss of three lives,
broke out on the premises of Mr. Kent, Berkeley-
street, St. John's-lane, Cerkenwell. The discovery
was made by Miss M. F. Kent, who immediately
endeavoured to arouse the inmates, which was done
with great difficulty. Nineteen persons were on the
premises at the time of the outbreak. They endea-
voured to escape by the staircase, but were beaten
back by the flames, and then made their way for the
windows ; four of them were rescued by Mr. S.
Hedges, of the Ship Tavern, Berkeley-street, to
whom much credit is due. The engines having got
to work, under the direction or Engineers Flinn and
Perrier, the flames were extinguished. As soon as
the fire was sufficiently cooled the bodies of Miss M.
F. Kent, Miss S. A. M. Kent, aged 14 years, and
Arthur Kent, aged 15 months, were found in the
back room on the second floor burnt to a cinder.
Shells were procured, and the bodies conveyed to
the workhouse. The cause is unknown. The loss
will fall on several insurance offices.

ECCLESIASTICAL DELAPIDATIu,oDZZT

The Archbishop of CANTERBURY moved the second
reading of this bill, on the understanding that it should be
referred to a select committee.
Lord ST. LEONARDS objected to the bill in certain
parts, especially that of appointing a staff of surveyors all
over the kingdom, who would not be slow to find out dila-
pidation for their own sakes. He thought that the cost of
dilapidation arising from fire, flood, and tempest
ought to be spread over a number of years,
and not placed upon the shoulders of the occupying clergy-
man.

The Bishop of LONDON agreed that the bill ought
to be referred to a select committee. It was one that had
engaged the attention of the ecclesiastical bench for a long
time, but there was no wish to press forward the bill
without it met with the approval of the great body
of the clergy. With respect to the observations of the
noble and learned lord about the increase of the number of
surveyors, the present bill limited the number of
such officers, At present there were two surveyors, but
the measure before their lordships laid down that there
should be only one to each archdeaconry et diocese. The
bill would provide for a great uncertainty in law as it at
present existed ; and he therefore hoped their lordships
would read the bill a second time.
Lord PORTMAN suggested that the bill should be re-
ferred to a select committee before their lordships affirmed
its principal by reading it a second time.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that legislation was
most necessary, and he saw no objection to the principle of
the bill.

After some remarks from the Bishops of Lincoln and
Oxford and Viscount Dungannon, the bill was read a
second time, and ordered to be referred to a select com-

mittee.

The second reading of the Register of Voters 8.11 was
postponed till Monday week ; and the Exchequer Bonds
(L 1,000,000) Bill was read a second time, and their lord-
ships adjourned.

PETITIONS.

Petitions were presented by Mr. WHITE from various
Dissenting congregations, praying for the prevention of
the sale of intoxicating drink during the whole of Sunday;
by Sir JAMES DUKE, from the city of London, against the
present mode of levying the Income-tax; by Col. VERNON,
from the county of Down, in favour of the Fairs and Mar-
kets (Ireland) Bill; by Mr. NEWDEGATE, from Lincoln-
shire, praying that incomes under £lOO be exempted from
income tax ; by Mr. PEASE, from Hartlepool, in favour of
the Shipping Act Amendment Bill.
HIGHWAYS BILL.

Mr. SLANEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, if he would introduce a clause in the High-
ways Bill to enforce the repairs of footpaths being high-
ways across fields and elsewhere near great towns.
Sir G. GREY replied that a clause might be introduced
into the bill while in committee to that effect.

ABD-EL-FADER AND THX TURKISH GOVERN.

MENT,

Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Under Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs whether information had been-received
that the Turkish Government was requiring from Abd- el-
Kader the dismissal of his Algerine guards, who were the
means, under his command and direction, of saving great
numbers of Christian lives during the late massacres at
Damascus. And whether the British Government, who
are parties to the transactions in Syria, approved of such a
return being made to him for such services.
Mr. LAYARD replied that no such information had
been received by the Government.
REPORT OF THE DEFENCE COMMISSION.

Sir PETO asked the Secretary of State for War if he
would give the opportunity of considering the report of the
Defen ceCommi ssion and the evidence on which it was founded
by allowing the interval of a week to elapse between its being
in the hands of members and its discussion?
Sir G. C. LEWIS said there was no wish to deprive the
house from discussing the question. It would be neces-
sary for him to introduce a bill respecting the matter, and
on that being done a full discussion could take place.

mediaeval key has just been dug up on the
site of tho once famous priory of St. Denys, close to the
Portswood Station of the South-Western Railway. It is
a bronze key, about two inches long, the stem is solid, and
tapers towards the end, the wards forming a letter H. The
inner periphery of the handle ring projects near the stem,
which is characteristic of ancient keys. This key no doubt
belonged to a small box or secretaire. It is covered with a
thin coat of verdigris, which has prevented corrosion. The
door keys found among the ruins of St. Denys, being of
iron, are much corroded with dust. Mr. Skelton, the archi-
tect, who has purchased the ruins, carefully preserves the
relics. A few rusty keys, some fragments of mosaic pave-
ment, and a few mutilated stone coffins, are almost all that
is left of the splendid priory. The coffins same years ago
were cleared of the bones and skulls of priors and monks,
and used as hogs' troughs by a neighbouring farmer.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway'; Ointment and Pills.—
Diseases and casualties incident to youth may be safely
treated by the use of these excellent medicaments, accord-
ing to the printed directions folded round each pot and
box. Nor is this ointment alone applicable to external
ailments; it, conjointly with the pills, exercises the most
salutary influence in checking inflammations situated in
the interior of the body. When rubbed upon the back and
chest it gives the most sensible relief in asthma, bronchitis,
pleurisy, and threatening consumption. Holloway's re-
medies aro especially serviceable in liver and stomach com-
plaints. For the cure of bad legs, all sorts of wounds, sores,
and likewise scrofula and scorbutic affections, this ointment
produces a cooling and soothing feeling most acceptable to
the ettfierer,

OBSERVER, of the Fiat?.

I think I can do nobetter than follow the good old course
of public running, and shall therefore predict The Marquis
or Alvediston as the winner of the greatest Two Thousand
that has been run for years.

VATICINATOR, of Sunday Times.
Let me avow my belief that Caterer will carry off the
"blue riband of Newmarket," on Tuesday, and, if beaten,
it will be by either the Marquis or Wingrave. Since writing
the above The Marquis has been supplanted in the betting
by Alvediston, but my opinion remains unaltered.

FLT-BY-NIGHT, of Weekly Time:.
As your readers will have all early discerned in what
quarter my fancy lays, I will, without further preface, ex-
press my confidence in

CATERER,
with the firm belief that Wingrave will finish one of the
first three,

AUGUR, of Sporting L.

I confide with every feeling of reliance in the chances of
The Marquis and Caterer, and in standing upon one of the
pair, shall let John Scott and
THE MARQUIS
represent my interest. For a useful place "investment"
let me once more suggest that the outsider, Buckenhain,
may not be found unworthy of the consideration of my
readers.

"Argue," of the Morning Post, has not yet passed his
opinion on the Two Thousand; but theue is no doubt he
will give 'William Day's horse Alvideston,
On Monday I will give my selection.
A FRESH MAN.

CITY BETTING.—THIS DAY.
Speculation in the City to-day appears almost at a
standstill. Old Calabar does not seem to improve his
position in the betting, as 10 to 1 can be easily obtained
against him. Nottingham, about whom 10 to 1 was
taken yesterday, has retrograded a point or two, and 12 to
1 can be now had.—The only noticeable feature in the
Chester Cup is the advance of Litneflower from 50 to 33 to
1, taken.—The following quotations may be relied upon as
correct :

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex -
perlenced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prim
ciples."

BOW-STREET, THIS DAY.

A foreigner, named Baench, was placed at the bar
charged with obtainings goods by false pretences.
Mr. James Tennant, of 149, Strand, mineralogist, said—
I received a letter by post on the 22d of November last,
asking the price of a certain collection of minerals for the
purpose of studying geology. 1 enclosed a prospectus, and
afterwards an order was received for a five guinea collection.
The box was sent off directed to F. Baench, Esq., 59,
Union street, Portsea, on the 27th of December. I after-
wards received another letter acknowledging the receipt of
the box, and also ordering some books on geology. They
were sent off to the same address. The prisoner promised
on the receipt of the books to send a cheque on the London
and Westminster Bank. It did not arrive, and I heard no
more about the prisoner till the 19th of April, when I re-
ceived another letter evidently directed in a feigned hand,
and signed Caroline Berg, from a place in Hertfordshire.
Suspecting it was the same party, I sent a prospectus, and
afterwards received another letter, signed Caroline.
Mr. Corrie—Have you any persons to identify the letters
you produce.

-
Witness—The prisoner admitted writing them when I
charged him with the-offence yesterday. In the last letter
I received there was a post-office order for 15s. for a map,
Yesterday the prisoner called upon me to exchange the
mlp I had sent as directed for something else. I happened
to be packing up a specimen precisely similar to that I had
sent to Port: ea. I continued talking with him for some
time, when I asked him if he had not gone by the name of
Baench. He at first denied it, but afterwards he said ke
had, and I then showed him the letter I had received from
Portsea, when he said that he wrote it. I told him I had
not received the money, and should not let him leave the
shop until be had given some explanation. He then pulled
out of his pocket a paper containing several pawnbrokers'
tickets, one of which was for a cabinet of minerals, which
he told me way the one I had sent to him, and that if 1
would let him go he would pay me for it. This I declined
and sent for the police and gave him into custody,
The prisoner did not deny that he had written the letter.
Mr. Corrie was of opinion that the false pretence had not
been made out.

The prisoner said he expected money from abroad on
New Year's-day, but it did not arrive, and that was the
reason he did not send the money.

Mr. Corrie suggested that the best thing to be done was
for Mr. Tennant to get back his property; and as it had
been pawned in London, and the prisoner offered to rnalre
some arrangement for its return, it would be the wisest
course to consent to such a proposal.
The matter was then arranged out of court.
London, England, 1862-05-03

HIGHWAYS BILL.

Mr. SLANEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, if he would introduce a clause in the High-
ways Bill to enforce the repairs of footpaths being high-
ways across fields and elsewhere near great towns.
Sir G. GREY replied that a clause might be introduced
into the bill while in committee to that effect.

ABD-EL-KADEB, AND THETURKISH. GOVERN•

MENT.

Mr. GRIFFITH asked the trader Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs whether information had been`rec,eived
that the Turkish Government was requiring from Abd-el-
Kader the dismissal of his Algerine guards, who wore the
means, under his command and direction, of saving great
numbers of Christian lives during the late massacres at
Damascus. And whether the British Government, who
are parties to the transactions in Syria, approved of such a
return being made to him for such services.
Mr. LAYARD replied that no such information had
been received by the Government.
REPORT OF THE DEFENCE COMMISSION.

Sir M. PETO asked the Secretary of State for War if he
would give the opportunity of considering the report of the
Defence C ommission and the evidence on which it was founded
by allowing the interval of a week to elapse !between its being
in the hands of members and its discussion ?

Sir G. C. LEWIS said there was no wish to deprive the
house from discussing the question. It would be neces-
sary for him to introduce a bill respecting the matter, and
on that being done a full discussion could take place.
THE VOLUNTEER FORCE.
Lord ELM asked the Secretary of State for War
when the Royal Commission would be issued which was to
inquire into the position and prospects of the Volunteer
Fel ce

Sir G. C. LEWIS replied that the names of the Com-
missioners had been laid before her Majesty, and the Com-
mission would be issued as soon as possible.
Mr. LOWE asked the hon. member for Tiverton, whe-
ther it was his intention to moye for the re-appointment of
London, England, 1862-05-03

MARLBOIIOUGH•STREET, THIS DAY,

NOVEL AND INGENIOUS MODE OF ROBBING JEWEL-
LEES. Miohael Mangan, a tall young man, was charged
with the following a tempt to rob Mr, De Loche, jeweller
and watchmaker, of 1, Old Compton-street.
The prisoner went into the shop of Mr. De Loche with a
companion, and asked to be shown some guards and then
some time-pieces, and while they were being shown, the
prisoner was observed very busily poking the knob of a
stick towards a gold watch on the bench, the stick evidently
having Ft wire hook attached to it. Mrs. De Loche, who
was looking under the parlour blind, seeing the prisoner at
last raise the watoh ran out and seized him, upon which he
ran out of the shop, but was pursued and caught by Mr.
Barrow, an engraver, residing in Compton-street, and then
handed over to a constable, Cronin, 215 C, who, on search-
ing the prisoner, found only 4s, ld. on him, notwithstand-
ing he said he wanted to purchase a gold chain.
Cronin said, while at the court, the prisoner asked him
whether he thought the magistrate could nettle it.
_ _

_ -
Mr. De Loche said the watch belonged to a customer,
and was of the value of £5.

The prisoner who is, from his conduct, evidently not
unacquainted with police court proceedings, was lemanded.
It is almost supe►fluous to state that the prisoner's com-
panion made off on his friend being taxed with the robbery.
