[ADVERTISE3qNT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and
Woman's Maladies.—No function can be suspended in the
human system without present or future suffering. Hol-
loway's remedies rarely fail in rectifying the first trifling
departures from health. The ointment rubbed externally
over the faulty organ penetrates internally and effectually
removes all cause for erroneous action. Obstinate oases
likewise require the ointment to be well rubbed upon the
spine twice a-day, that it may rouse the dormant nerves to
a healthier condition, for regulating suspended or dis-
ordnred functions, essential to female growth and
being. Holloway's pills should be taken while this treat-
went is pursued; they can do no harm to the most delicate
or feeble frame. They act mildly as aperients, powerfully
as restoratives.

Good Hope on the 7th of April, touched at St.
Helena on the 17th of April, and sailed thence the
following day ; the Line was crossed on the 28th of

Capt. S. S. Windham, Rifle Brigade; Lieut. J. Fer-
gusson, 21st Hussars; Quartermaster H. Harvey,
Rifle Brigade ; and Staff-Surg. J. A. M'Munn,

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, June 6.—There has been a good
deal of business in yarns for all markets, at very
extreme rates, and some considerable parcels of yarn
made from American cotton have been swept out of
the market, so that this class of goods is getting
very scarce. The business has been general for all
markets, and prices are about id. dearer than on
Tuesday. In cloth there has been less activity.
After the large business in .the beginning of the
week the market has naturally toned down a
good deal, and there is much less business doing,
but very full prices are maintain( d. What busi-
ness does offer is mainly for Eastern markets, and
cloths suitable for those markets. In long cloths,
T-cloths, and domestics the market is quiet.

DERBY-JUNE 6.

At our market this morning the show of wheat was
barely an average for the season. Higher prices were
asked, but an inactive demand, and holders had to accept
barely late rates. Nothing doing in malting barley, and for
grinding sorts sales were slow, at prices in favour of the
buyer. Oats scarce, and moved off slowly. Beans a small
show, and a fair inquiry.

A STRANGE STORY.

In the Irish Court of Queen's Bench, on Thurs-
day, the defendant in the case of Hamlin v. Cogan,
obtained an order for a new trial. The action,
which was for breach of promise of marriage, was
tried at the last assizes for Mayo, and resulted in a
verdict for the plaintiff, with £2OO damages.
Plaintiff and defendant were cousins. They re-

- .
sided at Ballymote, in the county of Sligo. De
fendant is a farmer in comfortable circumstances

It appeared that the plaintiff, during the lifetime
of her mother, went to reside in the defendant's
house, where, after living some years, and
after her mother's death, she gave birth,
in November, 1860, to a child, of which,
it was admitted, that the defendant was the
father. Plaintiff alleges that both before and after
the seduction the defendant made frequent pro-
mises to marry her. The defendant denied this.
There was evidence given on the trial that the de-
fendant said to the Rev. Mr, Barrett, C.C., who
besought him to marry the plaintiff, and thereby
repair the wrong he had done to her, that he
would "Do what was right." I❑ January, 1861,
the child was baptised, and there was evidence that
at the christening the defendant declared his in-
tention to bring up the boy "to the bar." Some
time in March, 1861, the plaintiff left the defen-
dant's house, with her dhild and a female servant,
and, according to her statement, she in a week or
so afterwards, while walling in the streets of Sligo
with the servant, accidentally met the defendant,
who requested her to return to his house, which
she refused to do. She alleges that the defendant
then said he would marry her before the registrar,
and that she at his request, and accompanied by
the servant, went to a house in Sligo, where a form
of marriage between herself and the defendant was
gone through, before a party whom she believed,
on the representation of the defendant, to be Mr.
Woods, the registrar of marriages. The defendant
asserts that this story is a complete fabrication;
and that no such ceremony of marriage ever took
place. It appears that the plaintiff and the ser-
vant are unable to point out the honse in Sligo
where the alleged marriage took place, al-
though the servant described at the trial,
with great minuteness, the appearance of the in-
terior of the house, and all the circumstances attend-
ing the ceremony. It is admitted that if the mar-
riage took place, the party officiating must have
been some man dressed up to represent Mr. Woods,
for that gentleman certainly took no part in the
transaction. It was admitted by the defendant that
he did meet the plaintiff in Sligo, and that she
returned to his house. Plaintiff was put out of the
house by the defendant after some time, and the
action was then brought.—The new trial was now
sought on the grounds of illegal evidence having
been received at the trial, and of " surprise."

PARIS, JUNE 7.

The Moniteur of this morning contains a notifi-
cation of the blockade of the Mexican ports of
Tampico and Alvarado.

TURIN, JUNE 6.
In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies to-day
Signor Rattazzi said :

"The Government has never encouraged pre-
mature hopes of a solution of the Roman question.
We ought to employ moral means to demonstrate
our unshaken will to occupy our capital, and to
convince Europe of our right. The Government
alone ought to regulate the armaments. It has
never sent money to Garibaldi, and has always
refused to join in the expeditions which were
proposed."
The Chamber rejected the motion for an inquiry
into the late events, and adopted by 189 to 33 the
following order of the day :
" Having heard the explanation of the Ministry
in reference to the recent events the Chamber
approves its conduct, and is confident that it will
always maintain the authority of the law and of
Parliament."

Twenty-eight members abstained from voting.

PARIS, JUNE 6, Evening.

The Patrie of this evening says that both France
and Russia reject the proposition of the Porte to
participate in defraying the expenses of reconstruct-
ing the cupola of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre
at Jerusalem.

The same journal further says:
"It is asserted that France and Russia have
equally rejected the proposal of the Porte to cause
the other Catholic Powers to contribute to this
outlay."
The Patrie adds ;

"It is impossible to foresee the future if the
Eastern question is transferred to this ground, and
if two great Powers, formerly enemies, but now
allies, should see all the Christian populations in
the East group themselves around them."

The Temps of this evening publishes a letter of
General Klapka, in which he renounces all inter-
vention in the direction of the affairs of the Hun-
garian Emigration.

BELGRADE, JUNE 6.

nication between it and the city was suspended.
Crowds assembled within the city.

Tranquillity being restored to-day, the communi-

POLICE-THIS DAY.

WESTMINSTER, THIS DAY.

ROBBERY OF TAB FRENCH COMMISSIONER OF THE
INTERNATIONAL EXHIBTION.—George Bedford, a la-
bourer, of 10, Nassau-street, Middlesex Hospital, and
Frederick Hodges, potman at the Hoop and Toy, Cromwell-
road, Brompton, were charged with stealing a hoisting-
jack, the property of the French Commissioner at the In-
ternal Exhibition.
Police-constable Hat vey, 121 X (on duty at the Inter-
national Exhibition), said that last night between 11 and
12 o'clock he received information that a lifting-jack used
to raise heavy pieces of timber had been stolen. :He
went to the Hoop and Toy and asked him what he had in
the shed. He replied, " Nothing at all." Witness ob-
served that there was a jack there, and asked him who had
brought it. He said he did not know. Witness made
further inquiries, and was subsequently induced to take
Bedford into custody. He (Bedford) on being apprehended,
stated that he had borrowed it of a person at the hotel of
the French Commissioners.
A person from the hotel, who was stated to have lent the
jack, denied having done so, and remarked that he did not
know the prisoner.
The prisoner (Bedford) said that he must have misunder-
stood the witness, who spoke to him in French.
A witness named Carpenter proved having seen the pri-
soners in company with each other in the shed or coach-
house, and put the jack in a corner.
Pietro Medon, foreman to the Imperial Commissioners of
the French Department, stated that the jack was left in his
custody by an exhibitor. It was deposited at the French
Hotel.
Harvey, the constable, deposed that he thought he should
be able at the next examination to produce a person to
whom Hodges offered the jack for sale.
The prisoners were remanded to Wednesday.

!MUDA AND I THE LUD

GATE-HILL T.RAGEDY.

The inquest on the two deceased children of Mr.
and Mrs. Vyse, of Ludgate-hill, was resumed at
two o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The Coroner (Mr. Payne) and the jury having
taken their seats,

Inspector Howard, of the City police, produced
certain papers, which were found by Miss Sarah
Saunders, sister of Mrs. Vyse, in Mrs.Vyse's pocket.
Dr. Edwin Payne, of Finsbury-square, was then
examined. He was called in, he said, immediately
after the catastrophe. He saw Mrs. Vyse in
her bedroom. She was leaning over the washhand •
stand, on which there were marks of blood. Having
ascertained that her throat was cut, he ex-
amined the wound, as far as he could do so with-
out assistance. Mrs. Vyse was in a most excited
state, and it required force to control her. About
twenty minutes afterwards he dressed the
wound, in conjunction with Mr. Savory. During
the dressing of the wound it was mentioned in
Mrs. Vyse's presence that the chi.dren were
dead in the adjoining room. He (witness) said to
Mrs. Vyse, supposing the children to have been
poisoned, " What was it the children had ?" Mrs.
Vyse replied, as well as she could speak, " Battle's
Vermin Powder." He had no other conversation
with her bearing on the children.
By a Juryman—During the greater part of the
twenty minutes which he had mentioned he was
absent from the room. There was another medical
man. All they did was to endeavour to keep Mrs.
Vyse quiet.
By another Juryman—He found it impossible to
dress the wound without assistance, and left for the
purpose of obtaining it.
Mr. Savory, assistant-surgeon at St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital, deposed that on Wednesday, the
28th of May, he delivered the contents of the chil-
dren's stomaehs to Mr. Attfield, demonstrator of
practical chemistry at that hospital.
Mr. John Attfield, the gentleman thus referred

to, on being examined, annfirreed the etetement
of Mr. Savory. He had, he said, since analysed
the contents of both stomachs which he received,
separately. By certain chemical operations he had
obtained from the contents of the stomach of the
elder child a substance which he knew would be
strychnine more or less pure if strychnine had been
in the stomach at all. That substance answered to
all the tests of strychnine. He, therefore, said
that strychnine was found in the contents of the
stomach of the eldest child. He could not speak
definitely as to the quantity ; it would be the residue
after some strychnine had been absorbed in the
system. He also examined the contents of a jar
labelled " Liver of eldest," and found in them
strychnine. He then gave similar testimony with
regard to the stomach and liver of the youngest
child.

The Coroner summed up.
The jury, having been absent about twelve
minutes, returned, when the foreman, Mr. Morris,
said it was his painful duty to announce that they
had come to the following verdict :
" That Annie Howard Vyse and Alice Kate Vyse
came by their death through poison administered
to them by their mother, Ann Cornish Vyse."
The witnesses were all bound over to appear and
give evidence at the trial.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIICEA;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
- - - •

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by, his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Cireular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford;
ut the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
t within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

(Before Mr. Kerr.)

A. WIFE OR NO WIFE.-A VERY DELICATE INQUIRY.--

PHILLIPS V. POLLA.K.

This was an action to recover for some goods supplied to
a lady, who had passed herself as the wife of the defendant.
Mr. Buchanan for the plaintiff said that the lady had
called herself Mrs. Pollak, and he should be able to prove
that she took lodgings and that the defendant assisted her
with her luggage and stayed all night. (Laughter). When
application was made to defendant, he said he would pay if
Miss -, of -, did not, and he subsequently made
a further promise.

His Honour—lt is not in writing. Can you show that
she got the clothes from plaintiff as Mrs. Pollak in the
knowledge and presence of defendant.
Mr. Buchanan—No, I cannot.

His Honour—Ycu see, even if she were his wife:defen-
dant might be able to show that he supplied her with the
necessary clothes.

Mr. Buchanan—Will Mr. Sidney agree that she shall
be taken as the wife.

Mr. Sidney (for defendant)— Certainly not.
His Honour—l must nonsuit the plaintiff.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCIIESTER, June 6.—There has been a good
deal of business in yarns for all markets, at very
extreme rates, and some considerable parcels of yarn
made from American cotton have been swept out of
the market, so that this class of goods is getting
very scarce. The business has been general for all
markets, and prices are about /d. dearer than on
Tuesday. In cloth there has been less activity.
After the large business in the beginning of the
week the market has naturally toned down.a
good deal, and there is much less business doing,
but very full prices are maintain( d. What busi-
ness does offer is mainly for Eastern markets, and
cloths suitable for those markets. In long cloths,
T-clotio, and domestics the market is quiet.

troops being forwarded to join their respective
depots. The Agamemnon, which is one of the
Messrs. Green's line of Indiamen, left Calcutta on
the 11th of February last, rounded the Cape of
Good Hope on the 7th of April, touched at St.
Helena on the 17th of April, and sailed thence the
following day ; the Line was crossed on the 28th of
April. The passage to Gravesend occupied 113
days, the weather being generally fine, with light
breezes. The Agamemnon brings home three men
of the 2d Dragoon Guards, two of the 6th Dragoon
Guards (Carabineers), three of the Bengal Light
Cavalry, 23 of the Royal Artillery, eight of the
Bengal Artillery, two of the 13th (Prince Albert's)

By direction of Major-General Tullob, Di-
rector-General of Ordnance, Captain Dyer,
Assistant-Inspector of Artillery, commenced an
examination yesterday of the whole of the wrought
and cast iron ordnance mounted on the towers,
forts, and batteries throughout the Chatham dis-
trict. The examination will include an inspection
of the 10-inch and other heavy guns mounted o❑
the works commanding the entrance to the Med-
way, the object of the examination being to pre-
vent the occurrence cf accidents from the bursting
of iron guns by the withdrawal of those which
gave the slightest indication of unsoundness. A
similar inspection is to be made of all the ordnance
now in use throughout the United Kingdom. The
various description of guns in store at Chatham
have all been inspected by Capt. Dyer, and the few
faulty pieces of ordnance detected removed to Wool-
wich, where they will be broken up.
The Woolwich division of Royal Marines yester-
day assembled on the review ground on Woolwich
Common, and went through a course of field day
movements in command of Col. Marriott. They
had deployed from square and formed line, ground-
ing arms, when the rifle of one of the front rank
men suddenly went off. The man, in disregard of the
standing regulations, was holding his rifle across the
muzzle with the fingers of his left hand, one of
which was completely carried away below the
second joiat ; he was taken at once to the infir-
mary. The finger was picked up a short way from
the spot.
Lieut.-Col. Clavell, late gunnery instructor to
the Royal Marines at Woolwich, is to leave Wool-
wich this morning on his appointment to the Ply-
mouth division. and is succeeded at Woolwich by
Capt. Carrington.
A volunteer detachment of 34 non-commissioned
officers and privates, experts in various trades—
such as engineers, masons, carpenters, &c., are
under orders to embark on board the new steam
storesbip Dromedary, lately commissioned at Wool-
wich, for the Island of Ascension, to relieve an
equal number whose term has expired.
The Megmra, screw troopship, Commander Hen-
derson, sailed from Portsmouth on Thursday even-

CIVIL SIDE.

(Before Lord Chief Justice Erie and Common
Juries.)
SAVANNA V. JAMRACII.__

This was an action of rather a peculiar character,
the plaintiff alleging in his de3laration that the de-
fendant had undertaken to let him have a crocodile
for the sum of £3O, and he claimed damages from
him for having broken his contract to supply the
reptile in question.
Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Joyce were for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Philbrick
for the defendant.
The parties in this action were both foreigners,
the plaintiff residing at Lisbon, where he had an
exhibition of foreign animals, reptiles, &c., andithe
defendant being a dealer in such " curiosities," in
Ratcliff-highway. In the beginning of the year
the plaintiff heard that defendant had a crocodile
for sale measuring, as represented, eight feet from
the snout to the tip of the tail, and a person named
Callez went to see it, but found it was only seven
feet long, but he agreed to purchase it on behalf of
the plaintiff for £3O, and £lO was to be paid by
him on account. The plaintiff afterwards came to
England, saw the animal at the Zoological Gardens,
and offered to pay the balance of £2O, but the de-
fendant refused to part with the crocodile until the
whole £3O were paid to him. The defence set up
was that Callez was the agent of the plaintiff and
not the agent of the defendant, and that the latter
had not authorised him to act in the matter, and
the jury ultimately returned a verdict for the de-
fendant.

IRON-PLATED SHIPS.—Mr. Bentinek proposes to
add the following words to Mr. Osborne's motion to-mor-
row :--•' And that this house will, on an early day, resolve
itself into a committee for the purpose of empowering the
Government to apply any portion of the moneys which have
been voted for the construction of forts to the construction
of iron-sheathed vessels, or to the conversion of wooden
vessels into iron-sheathed vessels."

THE TYNE NAVAL RESERVE.—The Shipping
Master at North Shields has this week commenced to pay
the men of the Royal Naval Reserve their retainers for the
quarter, and a very welcome gift it has been found by many
of the seamen's families, as great numbers are ill off through
the continued depression among shipping, The number of
men who have volunteered into this force through the
North Shields Shipping-office up to the end of Match is
1,325, the majority of whom have, at the least, undergone a
month's drill aboard the training-ship Castor.
MORE DESTRUCTIVE FIRES AND Loss OF LIFE.
—About one o'clock yesterday morning, as a police con-
stable was passing near the George Tavern, in the Com-
mercial-road East, he observed a lurid glare of flame in a
shop opposite. The moment he reached the premises the
windows of the second floor were opened, and two young
men who lodged in the house made an attempt to jump
out. One of the unfortunate men, in so doing, had to
climb over an iron grating, and his feet becoming en-
tangled it prevented his clearing the obstruction, and the
consequence was that when he could liberate himself he

he cleared the
ironwork and dropped upon his feet, but he was terribly
as a ittle Ho

was
shaken, and one of his arms was broken. Such is the
serious nature of the injuries he has received, that he is
not expected to recover. Police-constable 372 K then no-
ticed the proprietor of the house and his wife at the first
floor window, and fortunately succeeded in getting both
out, the night-dress of the female being on fire. Ihe whole
of the premises and their contents were destroyed. The j
origin of the catastrophe is unknown. A fire also happened
during the night on the premises belonging to Messrs. ildr-
rison and Co., hatters, No. 49, Penton-street, Pentonville-
hill.
The outbreak commenced in the lower part of the
shop window, and before sufficient time had elapsed to ex-
tinguish the flames in that part of the building it was dis-
covered that a second fire was raging in the other portion
of the shop. The contents were insured in the Sun Fire-
office, and the building was supposed to be insured in the)
AQrwich Union Fire-dace.
