LAW INTELLIGENCE - (This Day).
COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
WOOLL V. WOOLL.

Dr. Swabey applied to his lordship to pronounce the
decree absolute in this cause, in which the wife petitioned
the court for a judicial separation on the ground of the
adultery of her husband. The cause was tried on the Bth
of March by a jury, and a verdict in favour of the wife
returned.

His lordship made the decree absolute.
CHETWYND' V. CIEETWYND.

The Queen's Advocate applied on the part of the peti-
tioner, Mrs. Chetwynd, for his lordship to make the decree
absolute in the case, as no notice of new trial had been
given within the specified time.
His lordship made the decree absolute.
The Queen's Advocate applied that the " journals"
which had been put in in evidence might be returned to
the petitioner.

His Lordship said the papers and documents used during
a trial were invariably handed back to the solicitors, but in
the event of there being any trouble in procuring their re-
turn, if a future application was made to him he would
assist the parties asking for their restoration:

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SPRING MEETING.
NEWMARKET, May 1.

The most interesting of the several gatherings that New-
market witnesses in the year is undoubtedly that which
by a curious misnomer still retains the name of the First
Spring. It is here that what has been shrouded in
mystery during the winter begins to assume a more defi-
nite shape and form ; public running is either confirmed,
and private reputation found to be delusive, or the exact
contrary.

The great race for the 2,000 guineas has never since its
establishment excited so much interest among all classes.
The " sensation" of this morning was the return to favour
of Liddington and the retrogression of Breadalbane, who
appears to be little liked here.
The racing to-day was devoid of interest, if we except
the Prince of Wales's Stakes, which was won very cleverly
by /Argonaut, which at once brought 'prominently into
notice his stable companion, about whom four to one was
taken kindly.

THE GARDENER'S MAGAZINE.—The vigorous and
entertaining successor to the Floricultural Cabinet,
which Mr. Shirley Hibberd has raised to a leading position
in the horticultural world, has been enlarged and improved,
and the basis of its operations extended so as to take in
Bee-keeping, Observations in Natural History, Botany,
and other subjects appertaining to rural life. Mr. Hib-
berd's extensive acquaintance with practical horticulture
and country pursuits, of which the public have had agree-
able evidences in his numerous works and magazine papers,
will, we have no doubt, insure for his pet periodical still
greater success than has already attended it. Such, at
least, is our hope, and we wish him increased and increas-
ing prosperity, for no man amongst us has laboured more
assiduously to make our homes happy and increase our
national resources.

On Saturday last the business of the Royal In-
surance Company was transferred to the very ex-
tensive and handsome new premises of the company
known as "Royal Insurance Buildings," at the corner of
Clement's-lane, in Lombard-street. The increase of the
company's business has been so remarkably rapid that the
building they have just vacated (built only a few years
back by their architect, Mr. Belcher) was found to be
utterly inadequate to their requirements, and the directors
therefore obtained, on very favourable terms, a large site
of land opposite their old building, where they have erected
a magnificent structure combining every modern con-
venience, in which they will have every accommodation
for the transaction of their extensive operations. The
latest Government returns of duty again place the Royal
as respects increase of business at the head of the insur-
ance companies. Its annual revenue is now in excess
of £600,000.

A MUNIFICENT PATRON OF ART.—The "Dort,"
by Stanfield, and "The Interior of St. Stephen's Church,
Vienna," by Roberts, were bought for Mr. Tite, M.P., and
are now in his collection. The price of the two pictures
was about 4,000 guineas.

THE FAMOUS VELASQUEZ, acquired for the Na-
tional Gallery at the Pourtales sale of pietures,will soon be
hung.

THE LIFE OF MAZARIN, by M. Cousin, the MS.
of which has just been placed in the printer's hands, will
shortly be published.

" FRANZ MULLER" is the name of a piece brought
out on the stage at Vienna, which is founded on the murder
of Mr. Briggs, and the criminal proceedings which
followed. •

The Unita Banana, the organ of Mazzini, ap-
peared on the 26th ult. with black borders, on the occasion
of President Lincoln's death.

A collision took place at Havre the night before
last off the building yard of M. Normand, the Spanish
steamer Carmen having run in the French lugger Mario,
at anchor in the roadstead, laden with coal. The latter
vessel went down immediately. The crew was saved.

THE TEA TRADE, May I.—The deliveries in Lon-
don, made up for the week, wero 837,0031 b., which shows
a decrease Of 336,2311 b. as compared with the previous
statement.

A conference of the delegates of eight committees
of assistance for the Poles took place last week at Aarau
(Switzerland). at which General Langiewicz and Count
Plater were present. It was determined to do nothing to
induce the refugees to emigrate, but to leave them free to
act as they thought proper.
OLD FORD.—A stone coffin, containing a skeleton
nearly entire, has been found in digging the foundations
of a house at Old Ford, within a very short distance of the
old "Roman Road," as it is called, from London to the ford
of the River Lea. There is apparently no inscription on
tho coffin, which liss east and west, with the feet to the
west.
A telegraphic despatch from Messina states that
the steamer Ma3ris, belonging to the Messageries Imps-
riales, and corresponding with the Indo-Chinese line, left
that port at noon, on the 30th ult., for Marseilles, with 240
passengers, among whom wore Admiral J aurez and Ad-
miral do la Grandiero. The Maoris also carries 500 bales
of cotton, 438 bales of silk, 1,525 packages of tea, and four
millions of francs in specie.
