NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YORK, Dec. 5.

(Before Mr. Justice Wightman.)
William Lee, aged 41, was indicted for a high-
way robbery with violence, in the city o: York, on
the 19th of August last, and stealing from John
William Beecroft a sum of about £24 in money.
Mr. Campbell Foster prosecuted, and Mr. Shep-
herd defended the prisoner.
It appeared that the prosecutor keeps -a lodging.
house on the North Cliff, at Scarborough, and a
private hotel at Leeds; and on the 19th of August
last he was travelling from Scarborough to Leeds
by the railway and arrived at York at half-past
eight at night, where he had to remain an hour
before he could be forwarded by the train. To wile
away the time he walked from the railway station
to the river side at Lendal Ferry, down a street
called Tanner's Moat, and after watching the ferry
boat cross several times, walked slowly back again
to the station. At a quiet part of this street he
was suddenly accosted by two women from behind,
and at the same time two men, of whom the pri-
soner was one, appeared in front of him, and they
pushed him through an open gate into a yard.
There the two men held his hands while the women
rifled his pockets of his purse, containing a £lO
Bank of England note, a £5 Leeds note, £7 -
£8 in gold, and about 30s. in silver. Th,-
immediately ran off through.the ope-

young men engaged in business connected with the

OUlt RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.—The Nord of
Brussels publishes what it calls
.a serious announcement on
the subject of our relations with Spain. England, that
ancient troubler of the nations, inwardly mortified at seeing
the Spanish Government persist in its expedition against
the Moors, has sought and found a pretext for annoying
the Cabinet of Madrid. " With a bitterness unworthy of a
greet nation, she now clairps from Spain payment for the
warlike st"res furnished at the period of the civil war in
the Peninsula. The Spanish Government is inclined to
yield, in order to take from England all pretence for acts of
violence ; yet, as baud reasons have never been wanting to
England for getting up a quarrel, there is reason to fear
serious complications, notwithstanding the desire of Spain
to yield." There is not a word of truth in this elaborate,
statement. The claims of England upon the Spanish Go-
vernment, far from being an afterthought suggested by the
war with the Moors, were urged a year ago, while Lord
Malmesbury was at the Foreign-office. Since that time the
two Governments have been in communication with them,
and Spain has admitted a liability of half a million sterling,
only some minor sums remaining to be settled. There is
thus some prospect that a debt long due is at last about to
130 paid ; but the war with Morocco has certainly had no
connexion whatever with the settlement.—Daily News.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ;
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 Ilypochrondriasis.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. Picktord 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. 'Ye trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other °filially 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 Circular.

" We have delayed 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 ;
but the moderate price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places
It within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

yard, directing a number of additional shipwrights,
artisans, artificers, and labourers to be imme-

THE ARMY.

Major-Gen. Bloomfield, Inspector-General of
Royal Artillery, attended by his aide-de-camp and
accompanied by Col. 11. Pester, commanding the
Western District, Major and Adjutant Penn, and
the Captains of Batteries, made a close inspection
on Monday of the new quarters of the Royal Ar-
tillery in the Plymouth citadel. The men were not
drilled at the gun exercise, as intended, in conse-
quence of stormy weather and heavy showers.
The A troop of the Royal Engineer Train, under
the command of Captain Siborne, numbering two
officers, 90 non-commissioned officers and men, and
120 horses, with all the stores, left Aldershott camp
on Monday, to join head-quarters at Chatham for
the winter. The troop is expected to reach
Brompton•barracks to-morrow•
A circular has been issued from the War-office,
directing that, in consequence of certain arms re-
cently issued to the troops having required easing,
all arms distributed for the future are to have the
locks examined and thoroughly oiled ; military
storekeepers being required to see that these orders
are particularly observed.

of advantage to public as well as local interests, and that

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about d, and the short exchange on London is 25.10
per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng-
lish Mint price of £3 lis. 101 d. per ounce for standard
gold, it appears that gold is at about 2-10ths per cent. dearer
in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the
price of gold is 423' per mark, and the short exchange oia

MARITIME LAW IN TIME Or WAR.—An assem-
bly of merchants and shipowners, convoked to express their
wishes respecting certain modifications to be introduced into
maritime law in time of war was held at Bremen on Dec. 2.
The members, after a brief discussion, unanimously adopted
the following propositions :—lnviolability of person and
property on the seas in time of war, extended to the natives
of the belligerent states, forms, in so far as the necessities of
the war do not inevitaby limit it, one of the requirements of
the juridical sentiment of our age. An opportunity pre-
sents itself for urgently requesting the Senate of the free
Hanseatic city:of Bremen ta represent this.principle, and en-
deavour to procure its practical adoption either by the con-
federate goveinmems of Germany or by the powers of the
Congress. It is incumbent as far as possible on all those
who truly desire the realisation of this principle, both for
their own sakes and for that of right and civilisation, to
express their unanimous wish for it, and to act in concert
with this same md in view upon their respective Govern-
ments. A committee will be appointed, and directed to
communicate the present resolutions to the Senate, to the
Chamber of Commerce, to the feign consuls living at Bre-
men, and to all persons in Germany or abroad who take an
ititarest in the prosperity of maritime commerce, together
with an iliVitation to them to contribute as far as they are
able to the object proposed.
LOLA MONTHS. This somewhat celebrated
woman is residing in Brooklyn, and net in this city, as the
Herald states. Lola is now living with some intimate
friends, who have stood by her in all her various fortunes.
She is said to have really experienced a change of heart,
and those that know her best assert that recently she has
lived the life of a devoted and sincere Christian. Lola
Montes, ever since her marriage with Lieutenant Heald,
in England, has claimed his name, and has always used
it in business transactions. Lola need neither play nor
preach, for Heald enjoined in his will that his executor
should pay her an annuity of £5OO as long as she lived.—

VOLU_V ITER. CORPS.

THE INNS OF COURT.
The enrolled members of this corps tuft-Now
to upwards of 400, not less than 100 having been
added within the last week. They are divided
into five companies, composed of from 80 to 90
men each ; two additional drill sergeants have been
engaged, making now five ; and the drill proceeds
daily with great spirit. The name of Mr. Justice
Willes is inscribed on the roll of the fifth company,
but whether as a working or merely an ornamental
member of the corps remains to be seen. Mr.
Justice Crowder, now no more, had also enrolled
himself as a volunteer. Two sons of the Lord
Chancellor have given in their adhesion, and now,
with the rest, daily turn their backs for a time on
the dry study of legal lore to take a turn with the
drill sergeant. Following the laudable example
of their brethren of Lincoln's Inn, the benchers
both of Gray's Inn and the Inner Temple have con-
ceded the use of their corporate halls to the volun-
teers ror purposes of drill. Those of the Middle
Temple would seem t ) be a little chary in granting
a similar privilege, but it is not thought that they
will eventually decline to do so. The volunteers
assemble for drill four times a-day, Sundays ex-
cepted—twice in the morning from half-past Bto
half-past 10, and twice in the afternoon from 4to
6—and chiefly in the hall of Lincoln's Inn, or on
the open terrace outside. Last night, in the dusk
and in a drizzling rain, they were being " put
through their facings" on the terrace, from whence
the fine, full voice of Sergeant-Major Penyward
and their cwn measured military march awoke
echoes in the adjacent solitudes. Considering they
have been little more than a week at drill, they
have made remarkable progress. The readiness
and precision of their movements are extraordinary,
and altogether they promise to be a very efficient
body of riflemen.

Yesterday the committee appointed to organize

THE WORKING MEN'S COLLEGE.
About 90 of the students of the Working Men's
College in Great Ormond-street have formed them-
selves into a corps, and fresh accessions are made to
the number daily. They are drilled on four or fivo
nights of the week, in a commodious piece of ground
behind the institution, lighted with gas, by Ser-
geant Reed, a soldier student of the college, who
was wounded inside the Medan in the Crimea, and
wears a medal won at Inkermann "for distinguished
conduct in the field." Mr. Thomas Hughes, the
author of " Tom Brown's Schooldays," who has
long taken a deep practical interest in the working
of the college, has been chiefly instrumental in
organizing this small force of working-men, which
will probably become the nucleus of a large body
enrolled from the same class of the population.

which he alleged was occasioned by the defective state of
the pavement in Eldon-street, Finsbury-square. On the
day on which the accident occurred the plaintiff was passing
along the street at a spot near which was some steps, and
what was called a "wheel curb," and in consequence of,
as he contended, the dangerous state in which this curb
was allowed to remain he slipped down, and in falling
received so serious an injury to his leg that he was com-
pelled to be carried to the hospital, where he remained for
seven weeks, and for 15 weeks after he left the hospital he
was compelled to use crutches. Ho memorialised the
Commissioners for compensation, but had not succeeded in
obtaining any recompense, as it was considered the injury
was purely an accident, and not occasioned by defective
pavement. Not feeling satisfied with such a decision the
present proceedings were instituted.
Evidence was given to prove the plaintiff's case, but
The learned Judge stopped the case, as he considered
there was not sufficient evidence to go to the jury.
The plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited on the under-
standing that the commissioners would not proceed against
him for their costs.

Y ELVERTON V. YELVERTONO--IMPORTANT JUDGMENT,
London, England, 1859-12-07

SOUTH MIDDLESEX.

BRIGHTON.

The formation of artillery and rifle corps has
been progressing in this town for several' mcnths,
and on Monday evening last 84 volunteers took the
oath and were enrolled in the Ist Sussex Artillery,
and 136 in the Ist Sussex Rifle Corps. The enrol-
ment was made the occasion for an enthusiastic de-
monstration. Mr. Cordy Burrows, chairman of
committee, reported on the past and present state
of the volunteer movement in Brighton. From
this it appears that 113 have volunteered into the
artillery corps, several into the rifle corps, and 171
gentlemen have subscribed as honorary members,
and that the sum in the hands of the treasurer
is £457, in addition to a considerable sum pro-
mised. The committee have been fortunate in
securing Lieutenant-Colonel Estridge to command
the artillery, and Lieutenant-Colonel Moorsom the
rifle corps, and also excellent practice-grounds and
armoury.

The assassin, who was well dressed, escaped.
Fears were entertained that the attempted assas-
sination would be followed by an insurrection, but
tranquillity prevailed.

ROME, DEC. 3 (via Marseilles).
The session of the Council of State has been
opened by the President, Cardinal di Pietro.

2, Leadenhall-street, December 3, 1859.
London, England, 1859-12-07

The Court delivered judgment in this case, which has been
several times argued at considerable length. This was the
petition of Maria Theresa Yelverton praying for a restitu
tion of conjugal rights. The petitioner was married to the
respondent, the Hon. 'William Charles Yelverton, at present
a major in tho Royal Artillery, on the 3d April, 1857, in
Scotland, and according to the rites of the Scottish Church.
They were subsequently married in Ireland, and cohabited
in that country, in different parts of England, France, and
Scotland. However, in 1358, the respondent left the peti-
tioner, and resided in Scotland, where his regiment was
stationed. It was contended for the petitioner that having
resided for some time in England, and the head-quarters of
his regiment being at Woolwich, he was domiciled
in this country and therefore she was justly
entitled to the relief of the court, as he was
domiciled in this country, England, by reason of the head-
quarters of the Royal Artillery being at Woolwich. In
1840 Major Yelverton, who was then 14 years of age, en-
tered as a cadet in the Military College at Woolwich ; and
according to the allegation of the petitioner, ho had no
intention of returning to Ireland to reside, having gone
there only to see his father. The respondent denied that
ho left Ireland without intending to return. This statement,
relative to Ireland, was supported by evidence. However,
the facts of the case were, that the respondent was
born in Ireland of Irish parents, that he received a military
education in this country, that the parties cohabited after
the marriage, and that the head-quarters of the Royal
Artillery were at Woolwich. With regard to the question
of the petitioner having acquired a domicile different to
her husband, she had not proved that part of the case. The
learned judge having gone through the different autho-
rities cited, and the arguments on both sides, decided that
the Court had no jurisdiction over the respondent, and
dismissed the petition.
MIDGLEY (WOOD) V. WOOD.

Judgment was next pronounced in this case, which, it
will be recollected, was resolved on the question of costs
against the husband. The suit arose out of a false publica-
tion of the banns of marriage, to which both parties, how-
ever, had been parties. The petitioner was not, nor ever
had been, the wife of the respondent, and therefore if the
case had stopped there, costs could not have been awarded
against the respondent, but he deceived her, telling her the
marriage would be a good one ; but several persons having
expressed a doubt upon the point to the petitioner, she very
properly instituted the present suit to ascertain whether she
was in reality a wife at all. The marriage had been de-
clared void, and therefore a grievous injury had been in-
flicted upon the lady, and under these circumstances the
Court awarded the costs of the suit to be paid by the re-
spondent.

ST. PANCRAS.

Yesterday the committee appointed to organize
the establishment of a rifle corps for the parish of
St. Pancras held a meeting at the vestry-hall, St.
Pancras-road.

THE WORKING MEN'S COLLEGE.
About 90 of thestudents of the Working Men's
College in Great Ormond-street have formed them-
selves into a corps, and fresh accessions are made to
the number daily. They are drilled on four or five
nights of the week, in a commodious piece of ground
behind the institution, lighted with gas, by Ser-
geant Reed, a soldier student of the college, who
was wounded inside the Redan in the Crimea, and
wears a medal won at Inkermann "for distinguished
conduct in the field." Mr. Thomas Hughes, the
author of " Tom Brown's Schooldays," who has
long taken a deep practical interest in the working
of the college, has been chiefly instrumental in
organizing this small force of working-men, which
will probably become the nucleus of a large body
enrolled from the same class of the population.

SOUTH MIDDLESEX.
A body of gentlemen, principally barristers, who
are about to join the above corps, and who now
amount to about 50 in number, met on Friday
evening at a rifle gallery in Tichborne-street, for
the purpose of enrolment and drill. Viscount
Ranelagh attended, and administered the requisite
oath. The men are between the ages of 30 and 40.
The Adelaide Gallery has been secured for drill,
and at that place they met on Monday night, Vis-
count Ranelagh being again present. The hours
for drill are from five to sevee, every Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday, until the 23d inst., after
which day they will join the main body of the corps
at Beaufort-house, Walham-green.
London, England, 1859-12-07

LIVERPOOL.

About 240 volunteers, belonging to the Kirkdale
corps were sworn in by the Mayor (Mr. T. D.
Anderson) on Monday- evening. The Scottish corps,
which was established only a few days since, already
numbers 200 effective members, and other corps are
still in process of formation in the town and suburbs.
The Irish residents in Liverpool are about to fol-
low the example of their fellow-countrymen in the
metropolis by forming a volunteer rifle corps, and a
meeting is to be held this (Wednesday) evening, to
take the preliminary steps for carrying out that
object.

what enables you to say how many hours you Nere
employed ?
Witness—l know I took a cab, and I know about
the time I most have been engaged.
By the Judge—ln the copy of your set-off, which
you say you delivered to the plaintiff in May, how
comes it that, although you give him credit for £1
paid, you did not also give him credit for the Xiilo,
if, as you say, you got it as aprepayment, and to be
worked out by you ?
Witness—That was between ourselves.
By the Judge—Why did you not make an entry
of it in your book ?
The witness was asked to find out a particular
item of set-off in his book, but neither he nor his
attorney could find it, although they searched for it.
By the Judge—l suppose the jury no more be-
lieve this witness than I do?

Mr. Powell—As soon, my Lord, as I hear the jury
say so, I shall know what course to pursue.
Mr Laxton then put another question to the wit-
ness.
Witness—lf I am not to be believed, why am I
to be asked any more questions ?
The Judge—lf you cannot account for omitting
to enter such important items, I think your case is
hopeless.
Witness—lt was an oversight of mine.
The Judge (to the jury)—Gentlemen, if you be-
lieve the plaintiff's account to be true, and that the
defendant did this work because, like a led captive,
he was getting his benefit in the house and not upon
commission, it is useless to go on further.
The jury—That is our opinion.
The jury then returned a verdict for the plaintiff
for £4O, and the judge granted speedy execution.

THAMES.

FRIGHTFUL CASH OF STABBING John Coksley, an
Irish labourer, aged 23, was brought before Mr. Selfe, on
remand, charged with cutting and wounding Bridget
Collins, his sister, and Bartholomew Collins, her husband,
while he was in a stare of intoxication.
On the prisoner being placed in the dock, it was stated
that his sister and brother-in-law, who had been grievously
wounded, were not in attendance, and would not appear
against him.

Mr. Selfe—The man Collins was represented to me to
have been stabbed time times, and to have been sent to the
London Hospital.
A policeman of the H division said that was so. The
man Collins was stabbed in the loft arm, on his breast, and
on his aide, and after his wounds were dressed by Mr.
Comley, a surgeon in High-street, Whitechapel, he was
sent to the hospital. He has since left the hospital, and
returned to his house.

Mr. Selfe said this witB S Case of a most serious naa
ture, The prisoner, inebriated, made a great disturbanue,
and annoyed his sister and her husband, and when they en,
deavoured to quiet him he took up a knife, stabbed his
brother-in-law three times, and his sister once, the iii=
jured parties were kind enough, and Irish enough, to for-
give the prisoner, but he would not allow the prisoner, who
came home in the middle of the night and wounded his re.
leaves without any provocation, to escape punishment. Ho
should act upon the evidence already heard, and convict the
prisoner. He was proved by the testimony of his sister to
have wounded and cut her arm with a knife. He convicted
the prisoner of an aggravated assault upon a woman, and
sentenced him to two months' imprisonment and hard
labour.

PUBLIC MEETING ON THE BALLOT.--The eoM-
ruittee of the Ballot Society have convened a public meeting
of their friends and supporters for this evening, the 7th, at

keley, M.P., Mr. Roupell, M.P., Major-General Thomp-
son, Mr. Whitehurst, and Mr. George Thompson, are an-
nounced as speakers. The week of the cattle chew
is
selected for the meeting to give friends from the country an
opportunity of attending.
