LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

---=T

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before Sir J. P. Wilde.)
CILETWYND V. CILETWYND.

There were three motions in this case, which were set
down for hearing to-day ; and it will be remembered that
the wife obtained a decree nisi against her husband.
The Queen's Advocate, at the sitting of the Court this
morning, said that his learned friend, Dr. Dean, was desir-
ous that the witnesses in this case should bo heard in
Chambers, and he, on the part of Mrs. Chetwynd, had no
objection to that course being adopted.
Mr. Staveley Hill, on behalf of the intervener, also ccn-
curred in the adoption of the course proposed.

Sir J. P. 'Wilde said that the court could of course have
no objection to acceding to the application of the learned
counsel, provided he could do so according to practice.
To-morrow he would state whether ho would hear the case
in Chambers or in open court. Ifs intended to have
suggested to-day that, as there was a large number of other
motions on the list, it would be advisible to let the motions
in this case stand over until to-morrow, when he would
take them.

Mr. Hawkins, who appeared for Mr. Chetwynd, applied
to have the motions fixed for Thursday, as ho would be
absent to-morrow, which the Court agreed to.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Hoiroyd.)
IN RE LIEUT. GOUGH.

This bankrupt was described as a lieutenant in tho
Dragoon Guards, and to-day he came up for the order of
discharge. The debts (due chiefly to officers of the Madras
Army) are £2,317, all unsecured; and the deficiency is
£2,245, the cause of the failure being actions against the
bankrupt by his Indian creditors.
It was understood that the bankrupt will eventually
become entitled to property, and Mr. Aldridge, for the
assignees, said that something should be done in reference
to this.

His Honour made a conditional order.
IN RE SIR I. E. EARDLEY, BART.

This case has been before the Court on many occasions,
and to-day it was again in the list, but it was understood
that private arrangements are likely to take the matter out
of court.

(Mr. Commissioner Goubourn.)
IN RE JEMIMA ROWLAND.
This bankrupt, a fashionably attired young woman, de-
scribed as a spinster, of Westbourne-terrace, whoso case
has before been mentioned, received her order of discharge,
the debts due to West-end tradesmen being considerable.
Mr. Registrar Winslow not being empowered to act, the
greatest confusion prevails in his court, and the result of
his necessary absence is seriously felt. Ms appointment
to the vacant commissionership would be a popular one.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
(Sittings at Banco before Lord Chief Justice Erle, and
Justices Keating,les, and Byles.)

THOMAS V. IVALSH.-ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OF A PATENT.

Sir H. Cairns, on the part of the defendant in this suit,
applied for a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause
why a verdict which he had obtained should not be set
aside, and a verdict entered for his client on all the
issues. The case was tried before Lord Chief Justice
Erle and a jury at the sittings after last term. Tho patent
which it was alleged was infringed was stated by the plain-
tiff to be an improvement over the existing mode of work-
ing sewing machines. It appeared that by modes which
the patentee proposed to supersede the feeder and holder of
the machine were different parts of the apparatus, and
operated in a peculiar manner on the fabric to
be stitched. The patentee stated that by his invention
both parts were united, the effect of which would
enable it to be moved more rapidly along the machine,
thereby increasing the facilities for the stitching of the
material. The first specification of the material was made
in 1853 and the last in 1861, between which there was a
very moderate variation, which the learned counsel con-
tended deprived the patentee of the right to protection of
his alleged invention. It was further argued that there
was no substantial difference in the respective process of
the patentee and those already in operation.
The rule was granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

THE ATTEMPTED MURDER IN COVENT GARDEN.--JaMCS
Murphy was placed at the bar, on remand, oharged with
cutting and wounding Mary Anne Jennings, with intent
to murder her.

Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, said he was instructed by the
family of Miss Jennings to prosecute the prisoner at the
bar on the charge of attempting to murder the young lady.
He regretted to say that since the last examination there was
little improvement in the state of Miss Jennings. He held
in his hand a certificate from Dr. Travers, the medical
officer of Charing-cross Hospital, -87, hich was as follows :
" Miss Mary Anne Jennings is not in a fit state to appear
at the police-court to-day."
" Charing-cross Hospital, Nov 4."

Mr. Lewis further said ho was afraid that Miss Jen-
nings would not be sufficiently recovered to appear at the
expiration of another week, if even she survived the in-
juries she had received. Under these circumstances he
had to ask his worship to remand the prisoner for another
week, as he (Mr Lawis) w.a aware float thero was .0
Power to enable a magistrate to remand for a longer
period.
Mr. Abrams, who appeared for the prisoner, said another
remand was unquestionably necessary, though the certifi-
cate was somewhat vaguely worded, as it did not set forth
those details which Mr. Lewis had stated. He was sorry the
young lady could not attend, but he earnestly hoped that
there was no ground for apprehending a fatal result.
Mr. Flowers said the position of the prisoner would not
be at all injured by the granting a further remand. The
proceeding with the case at the present time would not be
of the slightest benefit to him.

Mr. Abrams was quite of that opinion. Ile hoped his
worship did not understand him to object to another re-
mand.

Mr. Lewis observed that it would be better to make the
remand for eight days.

Mr. Flower thought that would bo the most judicious
way, and the prisoner was accordingly remanded until
Wednesday week.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN THE STREETS.—ITORTiettO
M'Kenzie, a young woman, living at 18, Church-street'
Soho, was charged before Mr. Tyrrwhitt with attempting
to commit suicide by strangling herself with a stocking.
Norrish Pike, 51 C, said, that about half-past two that
morning he saw the prisoner walking under the colonnade
in Carlton-street, and just as she got to the corner she fell.
He went up to ascertain the cause, and found that sho had
tied a stocking tightly round her neck, and was pulling
each end of it, and trying to strangle herself. With the
assistance of two other constables he got the stocking from
her neck, and on asking her why she did it, she stated that
she had been kept by a friend and that he had left her.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked whether prisoner was sober, and the
constable said she was not.
The prisoner said she had taken a glass too much, but it
would not occur again if his worship would forgive her
She was not aware what she was doing at the time.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should like to discharge her, but
it would not be safe to do so at present. Ho would remand
her for a week, and he hoped she would listen to what was
said to her where she was going.
A MEMBER OF A " GUY FAWKES" PARTY IN TROUBLE.
—John Murphy, a rough looking fellow, was charged be-
fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Mr. Charles Dawson,
grocer, of No. 9, South Moulton-street.
The complainant said that yesterday afternoon the pri-
soner, who was one of a " Guy Fawkes" party, came into
his shop and asked for money. He told the prisoner to go
away, but he refused, although the " Guy Fawkes" had
moved away, and on his attempting to put him out of his
shop he put himself in a fighting attitude, and struck him,
and directly after, on getting him outside, he kicked him
in a delicate part, and sent his foot through a pane of glass
of the value of 10s. A gentleman who was passing volun-
teered to go for a constable, and did so, and on the con-
stable coming up he gave the prisoner into custody.
The complainant, in answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, said the
prisoner had been drinking, but knew well what he was
about.

Police-constable Adams, 148 C, said that on going to
South Molten-street he found a great disturbance, a crowd
of about 100 persons being collected. He took the prisoner
into custody, and a constable who assisted him said the
prisoner was well known as a disorderly person.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 405., or a month's im-
prisonment in default.

station-house, when she revived, and walked the remainder
of the distance.

Mr. Partridge said the conduct of the prisoner was very
brutal in beating the woman into a state of insensibility,
and then kicking her. The only reason he did not send the
prisoner to gaol without the option of paying a fine was
that the complainant assaulted his mother, and that ho was
labouring under excited feelings in consequence. He fined
the prisoner £5, and in default of payment two months'
imprisonment.

Liverpool Cotton Market—Thin

Market opens quiet and prices are easier. Sales,
probably 5,000 bales.

--- Business of New Orleans.

The receipts of the port of New Orleans for Customs
alone for the month of September are stated as fol-

Lows :

For imports in September, paid in gold $225,626 30
For fees) &c., paid in currency 6,938 07

Total 5232,564 37

We will compare the above statement with the figures
for the month of September, 1864, and it will be seen how
immense, comparatively, is the increase :
For imports paid in gold 525,143 32
For fees, &c., paid in currency

Total 527,654 95
Or to recapitulate and show the difference more clearly:—
Collections for September, 1865 5232,564 37
Collections for September, 1864

Differonco in favor of 1865 5204,909 42

This added to the Internal Revenue collections, which
aro now fully three-quarters of a million por month, show
that New Orleans is now paying nearly a million dollars
per month, after deducting expenses, into the National
Treasury, and it would be impossible to do this without
considerable business was being transacted.
Imports of foreign goods to the New Orleans market
have been very extensive, and it is predicted that French
and English dry goods, wines, and fancy articles, will soon
be cheaper in New Orleans than in Now York. The ship
Hymdall arrived at New Orleans a few days ago with a
cargo on which duties had to be paid before the goods could
be delivered to the consignees, amounting to 5115,000, in
gold; and this is only one illustration of the rapidly im-
proving trade of this port.

Monthly Periodicals.

THE BRITISH AR3IY AND NAVY REVI4W.—" Un-
der Two Flags" is continued with unabated spirit
and interest by Ouida,who depicts the raptures and
miseries of a fast life with a zest that leads us to
suspect that he has partaken rather freely of the
wayward sport himself. He enters into the feelings
which he portrays so vividly as if he formed the very soul
of the party ; but we must do him the justice to say that
he points the moral with a prophetic warning. The life
of a roue finds no favour from his description of the road
to ruin. " The Stag Hunt "is capitally done ; indeed,
one is surprised at the marked contrast exhibited be-
tween the listlessness of a Guardsman and the energy
of a sportsman, combined in one and the same, and
yet we must suppose the character to be rather
too highly coloured, notwithstanding its apparent adher-
ence to reality. " The Royal Navy—the Reserve," enters
very critically into the subject of providing our Navy with
seamen. There can bo no doubt that the apprehended
want of seamen in case of a sudden emergency created a
just and national anxiety, but the reason was not far to
seek. The naval service was disliked for the extreme
rigour of its discipline, and had a bad character for the oc-
casional tyranny of many of its officers, from the captain
downwards. Besides, the pay was far below that
obtained in the merchant service. Another rea-
son was, the utter hcrror engendered by the odious
system—the press-gang. But now these evils are
redressed or greatly abated, a better feeling
has been created, and men volunteer with alacrity into the
Royal Naval Reserve. " Rifling Heavy Ordnance" is a
masterly paper upon the great guns of the day. It dis-
cusses the merits of the several competitive attempts to
produce the best gun for land and sea service. That
much needed weapon does not yet appear to have
been decided on, out of the many specimens pro-
duced and tried before the Ordnance Committee.
Indeed the people begin to get tired of the long
procrastination of this experimenting tribunal, and grave
doubts, if not suspicions, are sure to be entertained about
the matter. If a good gun is found they are never satisfied
till they fire it to destruction, as if any invention, however
good, could be expected to last fer ever. Out of the num-
ber of competitors there is one whose system promises to
answer all requirements—that is Commander Scott, of the
Royal Navy. His system seems to be a sort of compromise
between the extremes of many. At the trial of his gun
with the French one the advantage appears to have
been greatly in his favour, although the French had
hitherto borne the palm in its trial with other
systems. However, we suspect the decision of the Ord-
nance Committee will be waiting fir the declaration of war
to quicken their wits, and then we may hope to hear some-
thing of the future, but not until then. "Austria" is dis-
cussed by Col. G. Paulett Cameron in a kindly spirit infinitely
beyond her deserts. With the best wishes for her people,
we cannot forgive the conduct of her rulers with respect
to Denmark, and her mean subserviency to Prussia, an up-
start rival as perfidious as she is aggressive. Let Austria
but bo just to the Hungarians and others of her many
peoples and she will soon recover her lost position, both at
home and abroad.

CORNIIILL.--" Wives and Daughters" is evi-
dently drawing to a conclusion, which will be re-
grated by many readers on account of its very in-
teresting style and home-like descriptions. Molly
Gibson is a very pleasing character, and her real
worth is being gradually discovered until she be-
comes far more really attractive than the fascinating
Cynthia. In this instalment the sad event of Osborne's
death occurs, and the old squire is overwhelmed with
grief. A touching scene is that in which the young widow
and her little son appears, and the sight of the child
rouses the mourner a little, and he willingly
acknowledges the infant heir. The miseries of
concealment are well shown in this episode of Osborne's
death, and a useful moral is drawn from it. " Armadale"
is also proceeded with, but Miss Gwilt predominates in this
portion of the story, and she cannot possibly attract, for
she is a most objectionable character. There is mystery
on mystery, and the story is carried on very ingeniously
through the agency of a most voluminous correspondence
on all sides. An article on " Greenwich Hospital" contains
some well-deserved strictures on its mismanagement, and
declares that " sterner battles than the Nile or Copenhagen
have been fought by British seamen in the very place where
they thought that their toils and dangers were over for
ever. There is correctness also in the observation that
there is something disappointing in the transformation
which this splendid foundation has lately undergone.
" Costumes and Character" is a paper that is very readable,
and contains some apt illustrations cf the peculiarities
which distinguish various nations in this respect.
" French Felons" presents us with some sad details, and
we meet with a sombre picture of the doings of thirty
years ago. " The Holy Fair of Ifurdevar" is an account
of the mysterious doings that take place in that far-off
spot, " where the sacred Ganges emerges uponAhe plains
of Hindustan."

THE DAY OF REST.—This magazine is con-
tinued in its usual style. " The Hidden Sin,"
in this number, becomes very dreadful, and
there is a good representation of the plotters
in a plate at the commencement of the story.
"Pictures of Old London" form, as usual, one of
the most attractive portions of this periodical, and
the illustrations are interesting to contemplate. An account
is given of the career of Sir John Richardson, and it is
truly said that the deaths of great and well-known
men have boon coming heavily and in rapid succes-
sion upon us these few years back." "The Autibography
of an Italian Police Officer" is very eventful.
THE VICTORIA MAGAZINE.—The Social Science
Congress naturally discussed several points interest-
ing to the fair readers of the Victoria, and accord-
ingly we find an account of three papers on " The
Education of Girls," and a summary of the argu-
ments employed by Miss Carpenter, Miss Sheddon,
and others, in their essays on similar topics. The learned
elaborate treatise on "The Civil and Political Status of
the Female Sex," translated from the French of Professor
Laboulaye, is continued, and the present instalment treats
of the social laws of the Germans—the first chapter being
devoted to the position of the woman in her father's house.
The laws of the old German nations—the Visigoths, the
Lombards, and the Allemania, were very strict and precise
in all matters relating to the parental authority, the mar-
riage portion, &c. Another paper in this number is the
reprint of Dr. Edmunds's introductory address at the
inauguration of the Female Medical Society. We have,
besides, a criticism on Mr. Ruskin's lectures on " Sesame"
and "Lilies." There are the continuations of two stories,
" The Fisherman's Daughter," and " Trouble at Thorn-
hill," and the conclusion of Miss Gifford's melancholy,
though well-written idyl, " The Triple Curse."
THE SUNDAY MAGAZINE.—Many pleasant and
profitable papers are to be found in this cheap, well
printed, and simply written magazine. The won-
derful work of Thomas-h-Kempis is the subject of
an essay, in which it is remarked, " There
are barbed sayings in it which pierce you through and
through ; there are others which refresh you by their
suggestiveness ; and others still which express familiar
truths with a consciousness and beauty that remind you
of apples of gold in baskets of silver.' " Among other
papers conspicuous for their simple and practical piety we
may notice " The Golden Opportunity," a story for chil-
dren, and " A very Remarkable Dinner Table," which
many readers may gladly help in this cold winter weather.

THE MONTH.—'the opening paper is on the bril-
liant but chequered career of the late General
Lamoriciere, to whom it does full honour. An in-
teresting article on the " Calendars of State Papers"
will attract the antiquarian, while the litterateur will turn
to an account of " The Faculty of Paris in the Time of
Moliere," and to a thoughtful and well-written criticism on
the works of Henry Taylor, author of "Philip van Arte-
velde." We have, besides, papers on our Street Architec-
ture, on the Personal of an Old Oxonian, and on the Epi-
gram of Parmenionso. As will be readily observed, the
magazine does not confine itself to the mere ephemera of
the day, but treats of subjects well worthy of the attention
and the study of thoughtful and cultivated minds.

GOOD Wons.-ICharles Kingsley's romance of
" Hereward" is apparently approaching its conclu-
sion very rapidly. The threatened separation be-
tween Torfrida and Hereward takes place in this
part. Alexander Smith's domestic story of ",Alfred
Hagart's Household" is continued. Mr. Saye proceeds
with his interesting series of lives of our Indian heroes,
some of whose daring and adventurous careers are less
known than they should be among their countrymen. Sir
John Herschel gives us the third part of his papers on
"Light," treating in this number of double refraction and
polarization. Many other instructive and valuable papers
may be found among the contents.
THE FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW. NOS. XI. and XU.
—"The Principles of Success in Literature," by the
Editor, are continued in a paper on the Laws of
Style. Mr. Bagehot gives us an essay on the
44 English Constitution," Mr. Freeman contributes
a paper on the " Proposed Revision of the Swiss
Federal Constitution," and Mr. Anthony Trollope dis-
cusses " The Civil Service" as well as continuing his love-
story of " The Belton Estate." There are besides articles
on the future of our navy and on international law, so
that politics and literature are pleasantly blended. This
serial combines something of the character of a review
with the style of a magazine, and the result is, on the
whole, satisfactory to readers and writers.
THE Ecucric.--The first paper is on one of the
most venerated of the early divines, Chrysostom.
It is remarked that, " on the whole, none of the
great names of those early ecclesiastical ages wins from us
more admiration and affection than that of this illustrious
man. Great as he was as an orator, he shines not merely
by the splendours of his rhetoric ; indeed, he steadily re-
sisted the growing and too prevalent idea that the Christian
teacher should he a mere orator ! Mr. Dickens's " Mutual

Friend" forms the subject ;of an interesting and compre-
hensive criticism ; and there is also an article of Dr.
Milman's on historical productions.

THE SIXPENNY MAGAZINE.—The story of " The
Fatal Legacy" is brought to a conclusion, in which
the villahrbf the piece scarcely gets his deserts, and
there are plenty of other tales to amuse the reader of fiction.
The articles on "Popular Physiology" are continued, and
this month we have an account of the function and diseases
of the liver. The siege of Malta, one of the most exciting
passages in mediEeval history, is related at full length.
Among the remaining topics are "The Old Musician,"
"Content," "Handwritings," and "Bells."

NEWTON'S LONDON JOURNAL.—The introductory
papers are on the " Use and Abuse of Coal in our
Manufactories," and on the American Torpedoes
Chatham. The usual list of recent patents and reports of
scientific proceedings are given, together with a selection
of the papers read before the British Association at its
autumnal meeting.
LE FOLLET.—The fashions in this autumnal
season are duly represented in this number, which
has an additional plate devoted to the out-door garb of the
fair leaders of the toilette. As usual the plates render all
the costumes charming, and the letterpress is gay and
animated

SIMPKINS' ALMANACS.—Nothing more vividly
shows the spirit and enterprise with which the trade
of the metropolis is carried on than the series of ex-
cellent licensed victuallers' almanacs, printed by Mr.
Simpkins, of 70i, Strand. The almanacs are ar-
ranged in a variety of shapes and sizes, but the great
object of a good calendar is never lost sight of, viz., its
usefulness. The pretty "Pocket Keepsake," with its
brilliant covering of emerald and gold, is a perfect little
treasure, as it has been arranged to afford fireside amuse-
ment during the winter evenings. It contains, in addition
to the usual calendar and tide-table, parlour magic,
songs, dances, and a string of humorous conundrums,
whilst the "Desk Almanac" is replete with commercial
information, its value being :enhanced by the addition of
a well-written and entertaining resume of the events of the
year 1865, which is both reliable and correct. The "Sheet
Almanac" is a very attractive trade placard, and cannot but
be productive of the greatest publicity to those who adopt
it in business. The series will certainly become the theme
of general conversation during the next few months to
come, because whilst they will prove of the greatest ser-
vice to the public, they cannot fail to cause the enter-
prize and spirit of the donors to be widely spoken of. Mr.
Simpkins' Almanacs are decidedly the best of this class,
and as specimens of letterpress printing they are of first-
rate excellence.

The Cholera in Malta.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

have been requested by the Cholera Relief
Committee of Malta to endeavour to obtain some
assistance in this country, and I have undertaken
the task, feeling confident of success. I need
scarcely remind your readers that the importance of
Malta to this country is greatly increased since the
abandonment of the lonian Islands ; and other cir-
cumstances concur to render Malta an object of
sympathy- and respect. It is second only to the
Holy Land as a place celebrated in sacred history.
And in modern European history it is distinguished
as having been for three centuries the residence of
that great military order which performed heroic
and most valuable services to Christianity and civi-
lisation, protecting commerce and the intercourse of
nations in the Mediterranean, and forming a bul-
wark against the attacks of the l\lahometan Powers.
For these reasons I cannot doubt that the facts
which I am about to state must be highly interesting
to benevolent persons in this country.
Early in August the Cholera Relief Committee
was formed. It has worked successfully ; for at the
first outbreak of the disease nearly every case proved
fatal; but by the effective means adopted by the
members and the medical men employed by them, a
very satisfactory improvement has been obtained.
Nevertheless, out of 2,578 persons attacked, in
a population of 138,000 (exclusive of the mili-
tary), 1,523 have died. A subscription list was
opened, headed by the Governor and other official
persons. It has produced £l,lOO, which, under
Divine Providence, has effected much good. But
the committee now find themselves called upon to
meet the distressing wants of a number of conva-
lescents, besides those of new cases. In the village
of Zeitun especially, which is 41 miles from the
central hospital, the committee has found it neces-
sary to establish for that and the adjacent villages
a temporary house of refuge for the sick. For these
urgent demands the local subscriptions are insuffi-
cient.

But even when the epidemic has ceased, still its
sad effect on the local trade and industrial classes
will be severely felt, involving vast misery among
the poor, and especially those who have lost the
working head of the family, on whom they were de-
pendent for their bread. Thus the charitable duties
of the committee must, if possible, be continued for
some time to come. Among other things, they
must keep up the soup kitchens, which distribute
17,000 rations a day in the four cities and Floriana.
For these important objects the local means are not
sufficient, and an appeal is therefore made to those
in this country who are able and willing to grant
assistance.

On receiving the letter from the committee, who
have a right to claim my services as senior member
of the Order of Malta in this country, I first applied
to that excellent lady—truly illustrious for her
Christian benevolence and her innumerable works
of charity—Miss Burdett Coutts. She sent me
£2O, at the same time expressing her wish to assist
in some permanent scheme for improving the sani-
tary condition of the island. The Right Hon. E.
Cardwell, Secretary of State for the Colonies, has
.also sent me £2O. I hope and trust that others will
follow the example, although some may be only
able to give a few shillings. I beg you to publish
this letter.—Your obedient servant,
Nov. 4. GEORGE BOWYER.

PORTRAITS OF THE LATE LORD PALMERSTON.—
The portraits of the late eminent statesman are multiply-
ing with great rapidity and in such variety that resem-
blance in most cases seem to be a matter of little moment.
The Messrs. Day have published a sketch, and the firm of
M'Queen and Co. has also produced a well executed litho-
graph, but in neither has the artist been very successful in
his work.

THE CHRISTY AIINSTRELS.—The great success
attending the entertainment given by the " darkies"
at St. James's Hall has rendered it necessary to give au
additional day performance every week for the future, and,
accordingly, there will be an attractive concert given every
Wednesday afternoon as well as on Saturday. The last
new success of the Christys is Mr. B,awlinson's singing of
the beautiful ballad, "I am happy as the day is long;" it
promises even to eclipse the celebrated melody, " Would
I were a bird," which is now ono of the themes of London.
For the first of the new series of concerts (to-morrow) the
programme is overflowing with good things.
Gen. Lee is recuperating at Rockbridge Baths,
Va., before entering on his duties as President of Wash-
ington College.
