LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

THE COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde.)
GOWER V. GOWER.

This was a suit instituted by the husband to
obtain a dissolution of marriage on the ground of
his wife's adultery with his brother, Zachariah
Gower, who is since dead.
The Solicitor-General, Dr. Spinks, Q.C., and
Dr. Tristram appeared for the petitioner, and Dr.
Deane, Q.C., and Dr. Middleton, for the respondent.
From the opening remarks of the Solicitor-Gene-
ral it appeared that the petitioner is a farmer at Bad-
dingham, in Suffolk, and also has another farm at
Bungay. The respondent was a Miss Ley and was mar-
ried to the petitioner in January 1846. They resided
at Baddingham, and appeared to have livel happily
together until 1861, when a brother of the plaintiff
came to live with them. In consequence of the
business in which he was engaged petitioner was
obliged to be much away from home, and the brother
and wife were left much alone together. In May, 1863,
the petitioner, accompanied by his wife and brother,
left Baddingham to drive to the other farm at Bun-
gay, and sat beside the coachman while the other
two were inside. On looking back he witnessed
the grossest indecency going on between them. As
soon as he arrived at Bung.), he accused his wife
of it, saying that that could not have been the first
time it had occurred. He then made inquiries of
the servants, and found that they had slept toge-
ther, and been seen in the stables, &c.
Harriet Doyland said that her husband kept the
White Horse, under Mr. Gower, at Baddingham.
He left there about three years ago. She remem-
bered Mr. Zachariah Gower and Mrs. Gower
coming to her husband's house in 1863, and they
went into a parlour and had a glass of brandy and
water. Witness went into the room to get some
money, and she saw Mrs. Gower on the sofa, and
Mr. Gower pulled her clothes down.
Dr. Deane objected that the respondent had re-
ceived no notice of the adultery this witness was
called to prove. _ _ .

The Judge-Ordinary said that under the circum
stances he should rule this was not evidence.

The Witness (examination continued)—She gave
a message to Mrs. Gower from Zechariah to the
effect that she bad been with him as much as with
her own husband. She replied that she could not
help that, that the job was done, and she hoped her
husband would forgive her.
Cross-examined —They got into trouble when they
were at the Black Horse, and lost the license. They
kept the Royal Oak at Ipswich. She had been
married for 30 years. Several other witnesses were
called to prove other acts of adultery.
(The case was proceeding when we went to press.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT IN A DINING ROOMS.--
John Lemon, described as a veterinary surgeon, of
no fixed address, was charged before Mr. Knox with
assaulting Frederick Darlesson, waiter at dining
rooms No. 30, Coventry-street.

The complainant said that on the previous after-
noon the prisoner came into the rooms of his em-
ployer to dine, and after dining went to sleep. lie
woke the prisoner several times, and the last time
he did so he struck him and knocked him down, and
also struck a young gentleman who was dining at
the rooms and came to his assistance. The prisoner
behaved in a very violent manner, and broke some
glasses on the table, and was tlae cause of a pane of
glass of the value of 12s. being broken. A con-
stable was sent for, and the prisoner was then given
into custody.
Two gentlemen proved seeing the prisoner s trike
the waiter, and knock him down on his waking the
prisoner up and asking for payment.
Police-constable Smith, 45 C, said that on being
called to the rooms he found the waiter holding the
prisoner down on the floor. The prisoner had been

drinking.
Mr. Knox asked the witnesses for the waiter
whether he had done anything to provoke the
prisoner, and they said he had not.
The prisoner said he had been travelling from
Dublin, and went to the place to dine, and, being
tired, fell asleep. The waiter came and woke him
np, and ha +ho wnitpr nfi. and than tho
landlord and another person came up and struck
him, and he bled from the nose.
Mr. Knox asked the constable whether prisoner's
nose was bleeding, and the constable said it was.
The prisoner said he had been roughly treated.
Mr. Knox said it was outrageous conduct for a
man to go into an eating-house and act like the
prisoner had done. He would give him the option
of paying a fine of £5 or a month.

IREL AN D.

DUBLIN, June 7.
Some light has been thrown on the Dungarvan
mystery by the arrest of two men near Midleton,
in the county Cork. On Tuesday night Sub-con-
stable Farrell and another policeman when patrol-
ling the road near Ballyedmond, met two travellers
whom they took for cattle drovers on their way to
Cork. They were old frieze coats, but the sharp
eyes of the policeman detected something of the
Yankee cut in the slouched hats and square-toed

boots, which had been carefully disguised with mud,
and had the angle 3 somewhat roue led with a pen-
knife. They gave their names as John and Patrick

Carr, but in such an embarrassed manner as to con-

firm the suspicions of their captors. On one was
found an instrument branded " ArmyKnifo,Union,"

which comprised a knife, fork, and spoon, each of
which could be drawn out and used independently.
On the other was found a very fine silver lever
watch, and a pocketbook containing some coins, a
card of the Connecticut Clock Company of New

York, with a cipher on the back " William A.
Stevens, 126, Adelphi, Brooklyn," a watchguard
composed of alternate links of ebony and copper,

and a handsome gold ring with an oval in opal.
The constable, believing that a man in old corduroy
trousers and tattered frieze coat could not have come

honestly by such articles, handcuffed his prisoners.
One of them said, " Well, as long as we have run

we are jowled at last." To which his companion re-
plied, "We are nabbed, Pat." The reporter of the
Cork Examiner, who gives these particulars, further

states :

" They had gone but a little way when the first
man, turning to his captors, said, "rhere is no use,
I suppose, in concealing it—since I am taken I
might as well say my true name is Patrick J .
Keane, late Captain of the 99th New York Volun-
teers.' And my name,' added the other prisoner,
is Frederick Fitzgibbon, of. New York." By the
way,' remarked Keane, we have escaped 3ou a long
time ; we met the Midleton police, and upon their
questioning us I told them my father was a herd to
Mr. Barry, of Carrigton-hill. The constable asked
me where I was going, and I told him 1 was return-
ing to my father with some bread he had sent me
to purchase.' Some bread was found on the pri-
soner when arrested, which no doubt lent colour to
his ruse, and enabled him to baffle the suspicion
of the. Midleton police. Both prisoners laughed
heartily at the success of their manoeuvre. Keane
entertained the police on the way to Midleton with
stories of the great American campaign, through
which he said he had served from the first battle of
Bull's Run down to the capture of Richmond and
final dispersion of the Southern army. He rattled
away in a jocular manner about his regiment, and
alluded sarcastically to ' big' Joe Gleeson and his
nepotism in promoting his brother over several
senior officers in the brigade--himself among the
rest—a proceeding which, he said, gave infinite dis-
gust to that section of the army. He also alluded
'to his intimacy with J. J. O'Connor, John
O'Mahony, and many others whose names have be-
come prominent either in connection with recent
events in this country or in the American war.
That Keane had done his devoir as a soldier was
sufficiently proved upon personal examination, for,
being subjected to a strict search, it was found that
there was hardly an inch of his body unmarked by
sword-cuts or bullet-marks, even the backs of his
hands presenting the traces of sabre-cuts, while the
calves of his legs, his arms, and other parts of his
person showed unmistakable scars. Before arriving
at Midleton Keane asked constable Farrell, in a
way designed to be indifferent, whether anything
had occurred recently."
He was then informed of the landing of the men
at Helvick Head. The prisoners were brought be-
fore Mr. Ryan, R. 11., at Midleton, and in reply to
his inquiries Keane repeated the statement that he
had made to the police, adding that he was born in
Ireland, but had emigrated 19 years ago. That he,
with others, had left New York for Ireland 15
weeks before ; that the vessel had been detained by
adverse winds and other circumstances till Ist June,
when they landed at Ilclvick Head, being then out
of provioiona, and having on only half a pint
of water. Keane resolutely declined to state far what
purpose he had left New York, or what was the na-
ture of the business he intended to transact in this
country. The other prisoner, Fred. Fitzgibbon, said
he was a native of Dublin, that he had embarked
from New York in the same vessel as his fellow-pri-
soner, but he also declined to tell the name of the
ship, or or state what was the purpose of his visit to
this country.
When asked if they had any relatives
in Ireland
whom they might make reference, both
to
stated that no connections of theirs lived in this coun-
try. Keane said he was a married man, and that his
wife lived in New York. Both prisoners, while
under examination, behaved in the most unobjec-
tionable manner. Keane is a man of middle height,
square built, and of swarthy complexion, with a
sharp, daring countenance, and of military appear-
ance. Fitzgibbon is somewhat less in size. Upon
being committed to gaol Fitzgibbon immediately
proceeded to write a letter to his relatives in New
York, requesting an immediate supply of £4O or £5O
to extricate himself from his difficulties. Keane
merely requested that a pocket comb which had been
among his effects when searched might be returned
to him, as he did not wish to dress his hair with the
prison combs. The inference from these disclosures
is that these two men belonged to the party who
landed at Helvick Head, that this party consisted of
American officers specially
detailed to act as leaders
during the recent rising ; that they left New York
for that purpose some time about Feb. 1, which
would bring them to Ireland about March 5 ; but
that having had an unfavourable voyage they had

It is stated that the Irish Attorney-General has

the decision of the Judges in I\l‘Afferty's case. No
further proceedings to reverse the decision can now

The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church
has continued its sittings during the week. The
report of its Church extension scheme, read yester-
day evening by the Rev. Dr. Kirkpatrick, concludes
by stating that they proposed nothing less than the
evangelization of Ireland :---
" It is the work for which, more than for any
other mis,ionary work, we are richly furnished with
resources. It is the work which, if diligently pur-
sued, will give us increased power and influence for
kindred undertakings in other lands. It is the work
this country urgently needs. Ireland has long
been a proverb and byword among the nations. It
is at this moment, as for centuries it has been, the
great difficulty of England. Our statesmen are ut-
terly perplexed to find a cure for its numerous and
varied wants and ills. In vain the enactments of
law—in vain the decisions of the Bench—in vain
our concessions—in vain our threats—we have not
succeeded in reconciling the great mass of the people
of Ireland to British rule. It is the Gospel alone
which will avail to heal the wounds of this distracted
country, and to bind its population in bonds of alle-
• -to the Sovereign, and of brotherly kindness
glom-
to one another."

PIGEON FLYING MATCH.—On Thursday 30
pigeon fanciers on the Surrey side flew a match with
pigeons from Ascot Races. The subscription was 10s., and
the first bird arriving with the name of the winning horse
of the Ascot Cup was entitled to the stakes. A small
pigeon of the board tribe Won, performing the distance in
47 minutes.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, June 7.—A1l sections of the mar-
ket have been quiet to-day, and business has been I
entirely devoid of animation. The market for
shipping yarns has assumed a quieter tone ever since
Tuesday, and to effect sales to-day slightly lower
prices would have to be submitted to. Spinners
generally being under contract hold steadily to their
quotations, and it is only in exceptional cases that
buyers can obtain any advantage. Sellers look for-
ward to a considerably improved demand so soon as
the holidays are over. The exceedingly large business
done in yarns during the last few we As disposes
buyer s to pause, and in home trade yarns as well as
those for shipping there is less doing to-day, at
prices tending rather in favour of the buyer. The
cloth-market is quiet, There is no actual change
in quotations, though perhaps in a few instances
prices have been rather against sellers where smal
lots have been purchased. Buyers report that in
some cases they have been able to operate lid. per
piece lower than on Tuesday, while manufacturers
have found yarns under 50's about Id. per lb.
cheaper. The chief business doing is still for India,
the demand for other markets being languid.
BARNSLEY, 7th.—The iron trade in the South
Yorkshire district may be said to be a shade firmer
in nearly all departments. At Milton and Elsecar
matters are improving, and more work is being turned
out. At the South Yorkshire works at Peuistone
the men are actively engaged in the manufacture of
Bessemer steel, several hundred tons being turned out
weekly. At the railway waggon works there is not
so much doing as of late. At the Midland and Park-
gate works there is more work doing, and future
prospects are encouraging. At Northfield matters are
more cheering. In manufactured iron there is little
improvement to report. The armour-plate branch
is a little healthier. In railway materials, such as
tyres, axles, wheels, &c., there is a brisk business.
The coal trade remains without much alteration.
In house coal there is a fair trade for the time of the
year, both at the landsale pits and with the London
and country merchants. In slack and smudge for
coke making, and engine fuel, a brisk business is
being done for the manufacturing districts. At the
Lundhill colliery a great demand for coal exists for
London and Lancashire, and a few days ago no less

than 880 tons of coal were drawn out in one day
besides slack, &c., a larger quantity than has been
known to be drawn out in one day since the col-
liery was opened.
LEICESTER, 7th.—ln consequence of there being
but little new wool in the market, and the old in
the hands of the dealers not being of the right kind,
business with wool-staplers is much at a standstill.
There is a good demand for the best quality of
hogs, which appear to be the only things asked for
by Yorkshire houses. Generally speaking, the
trade may be said to show a slight improvement
over the past few weeks. Worsted yarns are flat,
at somewhat lower prices, nor is any great improve-
ment expected until after the wool fair, the result
of which manufacturers seem to be waiting. It is
hoped that after the coming holydays orders will
begin to rally. Cotton yarns are steady in price and
firm, and silks higher. The worsted hosiery spinners
are doing a much better business than for some time
past. A large number of orders are being made up
at regular rates, and altogether things look exceed-
ingly hopeful for after the holidays. The improve-
ment in the autumn woollen hosiery trade continues,
but it is of a very slight character, houses purchasing
simply from hand to mouth. There is a good
demand for cotton plain hosiery considering that it
is nearly the end of the Leicester season. At Hinck-
ley the trade continues very active, but this week
the shipping orders have not been quite so numerous.
The elastic trade shows a better demand for boot
gusset webs, and orders to hand are fully up to the
average. Materials are still advancing in price.
There is no new feature to report in the boot and
shoe trade, which continues pretty brisk, with a fair
shipping business.

VICTORIA CLUB BEWING.

The counter attractions of the yearling sale at Eltham
caused the attendance to be somewhat limited, and it was
late before any attempts were made to speculate on future
events. Several books were opened on the Nor-
thumberland Plato, for which Fervacques, the re-
ported " dead'un," yesterday, was in strong de-
mand, and was supported down to 9 to 2, 4 to 1
