LAW---THIS DAY.

COURT OF D VORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
STOYLE V. STOYLE AND BUTCHER.
This was a petition presented by the husband, praying
for dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery.
The marriage took place in Glasgow in 1841. In order
to prove the fact,
Mrs. M'Fee was called—She said I was present at the
marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Stoyle. It was performed accord
ing to the rules of the Scotch Church.
Mr. Hill, counsel for the petitioner, asked the witness to
tell the Court what took place when the marriage was per-
formed.
Witness—Well, they did all that was usual.
Counsel—What was that ?
Witness—Why, they married.
Counsel—Well, what was that ?
Witness—Why, they were married in the usual form, of
course. (Laughter.)
The Judge—What did the clergyman say, and what did
they do ?
Witness—The clergyman says it all, and they have to
make their obedience to him.
Judge—Well, did they do so ?
Witness—Of course they did.
The Judge—Did they sleep together after they were
married ?
Witness—Of course they did. (Laughter.) Why
shouldn't they ? (Laughter.) They were married. (Roars
of laughter.) Don't you know, my lord, there's always
great fun made at a bedding in Scotland. (Great laughter.)
The Judge—Well, well, my good woman, I don't want
to know about the fun that takes place at the "bedding" in
Scotland—(laughter)—all 1 want to know is the facts of
the case. Did they sleep together ?
Witness—Why, of curse they did. (Laughter.)
The Judge—l don't want to know what they did of
course. I only want to know whether they went to bed or
not?

Witness—Well, then, they did. (Laughter.)
Mrs. Boyd said she wes present at the wedding of Mr. and
Mrs. Stoyle. It was time in the regular way.
Counsel—Well, will you tell the court what was done ?
Witness—They were married. (Laughter.)
The Judge—Yes, so the other witness has said. We
want to know what was done at that ceremony?
Witness—Well, they did nothing.
The Judge—What I did they not say anything ? (Laugh-
ter.)

Witness—No' Nothing is said by either party. The
minister does all that (Laughter.)
The Judge—They must say something. Did you say
nothing when you wen. married ? (Laughter.) I suppose
you were married according to the Scotch law.
Witness—Yes. (Laughter.) Well, when I was married
the minister said the w)rds. My husband then put a ring
on my finger, and we then acknowledged ourselves to be
man and wife.
The Judge—Well, wes all that done when Mr. and Mrs.
Stoyle were married ?
Witness—Yes, of course it was.
The Judge—Then why could you not say so when the
gentleman asked you at trst ?
Mr. Anderson, Q.C., stid—l am a member of the Scotch
bar, and I have no doubt the marriage was legally per-
formed according to the Itw of Scotland.
Witnesses having proved the adultery,
The court decreed a rul€ nisi.

SHER[FF'S COURT.
(Before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler.)
BUCTIAN4N V. ALBERItY.

This was an action upon a bill of costs, and the facts of
the case may be well gleened from the able judgment,
written by Mr. Kerr, the judge of the court, and delivered
by Mr. Sergeant Wheeler, Bitting, to-day, as deputy judge :
—" In this case the plaintiff seeks to recover from the
defendant the costs of an action, brought at defendant's
in in the Mayor's Court, to recover a debt of £5 Os 7i d.
Being lid. over £5, the defendant was entitled to employ
an attorney, and have the service of counsel, and recover
the cost of so doing. The plaintiff here, who was her
attorney, now seeks to reccver £1 6s. 10d., his bill of costs
for issuing the writ. Hitherto, in such cases, I have felt a
difficulty in giving a plaintiff a verdict, as this court has no
means whatever of taxing a bill of costs for work done in
the Mayor's Court, and I :lave not unfrequently exercised
the powers conferred by the statute, and entered a nonsuit,
thereby leaving the plaintiff ,o seek his costs against his own
client in the court in which the work was done. I ain re-
lieved
of
d iffi as it is proved that
the defendant
howtoheervearltorney to bring the
action in this (the Sheriff's ()mat), where unquestionably
notlies case,
e t
an action for £5 Os. W. ought to be brought. She expressly
e tdy in this
leave
directed plaintiff to bring the action in the Mayor's Court,
and cannot therefore complain of the expense incurred. I
find, therefore, for the plaintiff, and I further make a special
order under the seventh rule as to costs for the plaintiff's
costs of suit.

Mr. Buchanan attended, butno one was present for the
defendant, though this is a moss important question for the
public, whose business may take 'hem to the Mayor's Court.

CRIMINAL COURT-THIS DAY.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
EMBEZZLEMENT.

James Nicholls, a clerk n the employ of Messrs. Streston
and Co., pleaded guilty tc a charge of embezzling certain
monies, the property of hit employers.
The Recorder sentencedhim to 9 months' imprisonment.
NEW COURT.
(Beforsthe Common Sergeant.)
_ _

James Martin, late a police-constable in the Metropolitan
force, surrendered to tike his trial on an indictment charg-
ing him with wilful and corrupt perjury on the occasion of
a trial at 'Westminster, before Sir Cresswell Cresswell, in
the Divorce Court, on the 14th M arch last.

On being arraigned the defendant pleaded not guilty.
The perjury chargec to tho defendant was on the occa-
sion of his being ex-mined in a cause in which a Mr.
Wheddon was the petitioner, and Isabella Wheddon, his
wife, was the respondent, and a man of the name of Smith
was the co-respondent. The cause was instituted for
the purpose of obtaining a divorce on the ground of
adultery committed by:theirespondent with the co-respond-
dent Smith. The respondent put in an answer, and ap-
peared by counsel, but the the co-respondent did not appear.
It became material to establish in evidence one specific act
of adultery, alleged to have been committed by the respon-
dent with Smith on the 18th November, 1859, and for that
purpose the defendant was called as a witness, and he then,
on his oath, stated in substance, that on the night of the
18th November, 1859, he was in Newington-causeway
with a person of the name of Hayes, and that they went
together to a publieh.use in that nsighbourhood, and
that while in that house the co-respondent, who was a
porter in the establishment of which Hayes was the tra-
veller, came in accompanied by a female. The defendant
stated that Smith and the woman remained some short
time, and, after having partaken of some refreshment, they
left. The defendant further swore that he followed them
to a brothel in William-street, Newington-causeway, where
they remained some considerable time. The defendant
swore positively to Smith being the man, and with reference
to the woman who was with Smith on the evening in ques-
tion, the defendant told the learned judge that he had been
shown the respondent-, Mrs. Wheddon, in Westminster
Hall, the day before the trial, aid that she was the woman
who was with Smith at the priolic-house, and who went
with him to the brothel on the :Bth November, 1859, The
defendant in his evidence had gave on to state that he had
seen the same woman on the evening of the 23d December
following, standing alone outside the Alhambra, in Leices-
ter- square, as if she were waiting for some person or another.
Witnesses proved that the statement was untrue.
The defence was that the perjury was inadvertently com-
mitted, the defendant having been made the tool of other
parties.
The jury returned a verdict of not guilty.

POLICE---THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH •STREET, THIS DAY,

HICMWAY ROBBERT.—Henry Carnon, a painter, living
in Hart-street, Covent-garden, was charged with stealing
a gold chain, of the value of £3, from Matilda Gurney, a
young woman, of 53, King-street, Soho,
The prosecutrix said the chain produced was her pro-
perty, and of the value of £3. About 2 that morning she
was walking along Regent-street, when the prisoner came
up to her and asked her where she was going, and then her
address. She told him she wanted to have nothing to say
other on hermOwhenhoput one hand on her shoulder and the
breast, and threw her down, and as she was
falling she felt the chain which was round her neck
snap, one half of it being in the prisoner's hand
the other half attached to hor dress. The pri-
soner then tried to get away, and a female ran after him
and struck him with her umbrella, and two gentlemen
stopped the prisoner. One of them then crossed over and
fetched a constable from the other side of the street, and she
then gave the prisoner into custody and he was taken to
the station, where he denied the charge and abused her.
She was a good deal bruised by falling.
Emma Willis, a young woman, living in Cleveland
street, said she was in the Regent-circus and saw the pro-
secutrix thrown down by the prisoner, and as he ran away
she ran after him and gave him a blow with her umbrella.
The prosecutrix then came up, and said " You have got my
chain," and at the time the prisoner had a part of it in his
hand, the other part being attached to the prosecutrix's
dress. The prisoner tried to get away, but the gentlemen
prevented him, and said he should not leave till the con-
stable came up.

Prisoner asked witness, on her oath, whether she saw any
part of the chain in his hand, and she replied in the affirma-
tive.
Samuel Grinham, 132 C, said the prisoner had given, he
believed, a correct address.
Prisoner said he was a respectable man and in work--
working for a good master.
Mr. Knox said he should remand him for a week for the
attendance, if possible, of one of the gentlemen, but if the
officer found that he was in work, he should take bail for
his appearance.

THE NAVY.

A return has been called for by the Admiralty of the
armament of the ship gun drill batteries at each division of

nery instructors attached to the respective divisions are also
called upon to report whether it would be advantageous, or
otherwise, to the service to substitute the Armstrong for
any of the smooth-bore guns at the various batteries.
The Shannon, screw frigate, Capt. Wainwright, made her
preliminary trial of speed with the Admiralty screw, lead-
ing corners cut, yesterday, at.the measured mile in Stokes
Bay, under the command of Captain H. Broadhead, com-
manding the Steam Reserve, and Messrs. Mendoch and
Miller, of the Steam Reserve and Factory departments. The
ship's draught of water was—forward, 20ft 3in ; aft, 21ft
9in. Six runs were made at the miles with the following
results in knots :-Ist run, 11'538 ; 2d run, 10'315 ; 3d run,
12.500; 4th run, 9.944 ; sth run, 12 857 ; 6th run, 9.7783;
the mean result of the whole was 11.288 knots. The pres-
sure was 201 b, and the vacuum was, forward, 25, and aft
the same. With five men at the wheel the order was given
" Hard a port," and a circle was completed by the ship in
7 min 43 sec. " Hard a starboard," the circle was com-
pleted in 7 min 24 sec. In the first instance the rudder
was only got over 12i degrees, and in the second 14 degrcez.
Apart, however, from this difficulty in getting the rudder
over when under steam, a difficulty common to all our
screw ships, the Shannon steers admirably. She instantly
answers the slightest touch of her wheel. To-day, should
the weather be favourable, the Shannon will follow up her
preliminary trial of yesterday with a double-bladed screw
cast in Portsmouth dockyard, on the principle introduced
by M. Mangan into the Imperial French navy. Other
trials will follow with screws of four and six blades attached
to a Griffith's boss.
Letters received from the West Indies by our Chatham
correspondent give several items of intelligence of the move-
ments of Her Majesty's ships in those waters. The screw
frigate Immortalite, 51, Capt. G. Hancock, left English
Harbour, Antigua, on the afternoon of the 13th ultimo, for
Barbadoes. The screw corvette Cadmus, 21, Capt. H. S.
Hillyar, C. 8., left St. John's, Antigua, on the 17th ult.,
and arrived at St. Kitt's on the following morning. On
the 21st ult. she left that island.for St. Thomas's, which
she reached on the following day, and on the 23d of April
she sailed for Bermuda, where she would be stationed for
some time. At the date of the mail leaving the officers and
crews of the vessels were well. First-Lieut. M. H. Price,
of the Chatham division of Royal Marines, died at Vera
Cruz on the 10th ult., from yellow fever.
An intimation has been issued from the Admiralty that
the Queen's regulations and circular orders relating to the
navy, now in use, are about to be called in, with the view

to their being revised and amended and fresh orders issued

The workmen have been taken off the Conqueror, 86,
screw steamship, which was being fitted at Sheerness for
the pennant, and instructions have been received to the
effect that the hands employed on the Chesapeake, 51, are
to proceed no further than will be necessary to render the
vessel capable of floating with safety at her moorings in The
harbour. She is now in No. 1 dock in Sheerness yard, but
will shortly be removed.

1 The Argus, 6, paddle-wheel steam sloop, 300 horse power,
is being brought forward in the basin in Sheerness yard with
the utmost despatch for immediate commission.
It is understood that the Resistance, 51, ironcased screw
steam frigate, 600 horse power, which is lying off Sheerness
yard, is to be strengthened in the bow with iron plates of
additional thickness, to prevent any accident similar to that
which occurred to the Defence. The guns of the Resistance
are all on board, and she is being proceeded with with all
despatch. The vessel is to be reported upon when she is
considered to be ready for the pennant.
The 1\ orth Star, which is in frame in the building slip at
Sheerness, is to be proceeded with, and adapted to receive
iron plates of sufficient thickness both above and below the
load line, to enable her to ward off a 321 b. shot. Her sides
are to be lined with plates sufficiently strong to resist a shell.
Plans have been submitted, and are under consideration at
the Controller's-office, by which this vessel and others of
the same class now in course of construction will be plated

and adapted for long voyages.
Great inconvenience and considerable loss to Government
are being sustained in consequence of the inadequate dock
accommodation for the present requirements of the service
at Sheerness. Should any accident of sufficient importance
happen to the Arethusa, 51, or the Resistance, 51, to render
it necessary for either of them to be docked, these vessels

would be compelled to be removed to Chatham, as the docks
at Sheerness are not long enough to admit them. Attention

to this matter is more imperative when it is taken into con-

sideration that a frigate cannot reach either Chatham or
Woolwich without having her stores and ammunition token

out. Vessels of this class under difficulties such as would

render docking necessary without removing their stores
would be required to proceed to Portsmouth. The large

basin in Sheerness yard is also too small for such vessels.
Yet roomy docks and an admirable basin might be obtained

at a comparatively trifling expense. It is considered by the

highest authorities that a basin constructed from the south

side of the dockyard to the Queenborough Creek and to the
Lnppel-edge would be one of the most commodious and

largest in England, and capable of taking in even the Great

Eastern at low water.

The following appointments were made yesterday at the
Admiralty:—Commander C. M. Buckle to the Cormorant,

commissioned; Commander C. It. F. Boxer to the Race-

horse, commissioned ; Lieut. W. F. A. Harris to the Ajax,

additional for service in the Coast Guard ; Lieut. Henry:

THE INTERNATIONAL E2r0181.7

Yesterday's most wintry weather exereised its full
effect upon the attendance of visitors at the brulding
—that is to say, it checked the steady and rapid
_
rise which the daily numbers have lately shown
but the diminution was, after all, not so le.rge as
might almost reasonably have been expected. The
falling off was entirely among the season-ticket
holders, who were in a minority yesterday as
compared with those who paid at the doors.
On payment there were 3,568, and by season
tickets 3,376, or, in round numbers, 7,600 visi-
tors up to five o'clock, the hoar at which the re-
turns are taken, though by no means the hour at
which the entries cease. As opposed to this falling
off in the number of season-ticket visitors, the sale
of season tickets themselves is still as brisk as ever,
- and though, of course, nothing like what it was
before the opening, is, strange to say, proportion-
ately still ahead of the sale iu 1851. The executive
were rather desirous of one good day's rain, to as-
: certain how far their precautions against leakages
rlo
had effectual, and the result of yesterday's
experience must have satisfied them. There were

finding their way in here do more °damage, in the
way.of rust, than in any other class of goods. For
their own sakes we would recommend all exhibitors
to furnish themselves with oiled calico covers, both
for goods and cases, as the leakage which occurs in
the night has time to do its worst long before it is
discovered on the following morning.
The interior arrangements are fast being com-
pleted, and everything begins, though very slowly,
to wear its best aspect. This week ought to ace all
finished and in place. A rigorous order has been
issued that under no pretence whatever is any thing
to be admitted to the building after Saturday next,
and OR that day all cases which may still remain
unpacked will be ejected summarily, whether full
or empty. If this rule is really carried out, it will
effect a great improvement—so great, in fact, that
every visitor will very naturally ask why it was
not done before. The truth is that the executive
have allowed- themselves to be influenced by pres-
sure from exhibitors till every single rule they
have -laid down has been broken through so
openly that there are now virtually no rules what-
ever, and the mere verbal regulations that still re-
main in print are only records of the weakness and
vacillation of the Commissioners themselves. We
are speaking within the mark when we say that
there is not a single law or order issued by the Com-
missioners which has not been publicly infringed by
at least two-thirds of those to whom it was specially
meant to apply. Every one, in fact, seems to do
pretty much as he likes ; and when, every tvvo or
three days, this culminates in some greatdisordor, the
Commissioners suddenly wake up to a sense of their
position, and issue a general regulation of such un-
mitigated stringency that, like the laws of D'raco,

none care to use it ; so that, after a few hours, it is

consigned to the same oblivion as its predecessors.
There is, in short, a want of anything like indi'Fidual

responsibility among those nominally in change of
arrangement. Everything is departmental, and. each
department works in independence, if not in con-
tradiction, of the other. But that the Commis-

sioners had the good fortune to secure the services

of a most able body of superintendents of crosses,

who threw themselves into the work heart and

soul, the whole affair would have been a mere chaos.

The heat and labour of the day has been borne by

;here gentlemen, by the contractors, and, above all,

by the most courteous and indefatigable secretary,

Mr. Sandford, who has had to reconcile the man-
agement of the Commissioners with anything like
order or regularity. It is time that there should be an
end of all this, and we, therefore, hail the order that
everything shall be finished by Saturday as a sign
of a better system. The exhibitors have done their

part by massing together such a collection as has
❑ever yet been seen. Let the Commissioners now
do theirs, and, instead of descending to little caye-
dients to make money on everything or person that
enters the building, let them realize the magnificent

capital which all the world has combined to place

•t their disposal.

ENGLISH ENGINEBRINu IN .RUSSIA.

After years of discussion, it has, at length, been
decided that Odessa shall .be paved and drained
and, an English contractor having been selected for
the work, there is nuw a certainty that this "City
of Palaces" will in a few years become one of the
most remarkable cities in Europe, and deserve the
name it has acquired, "Queen of Southern Russia."
Hitherto the unpaved streets and consequent
clouds of dust, perpetual in summer, has ren-
dered Odessa unbearable, and in whiter the
streets have been a quagmire. But all this is
to be changed. During the past six weeks, rival
engineers and contractors from England, France,
Austria, and Hungary, have been in Odessa,
competing with native contractors for the works
comprised in the town improvements, and their
presence, combined with the fact that the 101 l
\ pending question of paving and draining 6167:437f.
a shape more tangible, created an unusual toegitions
interest and excitement. The rivalfokPritrenoivriihnttahgaot,
