LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
APPEAL.-ROBERTSON V. FL EMING AND OTHERS.

At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel on both
sides in this case, the Lord Chancellor reserved judgment,

APPEAL.-JI:DGMENT.=-LITITBEIDGE V. LITHBRIDGII.
The contention in this case was whether the appellant,
under the will of his father, Sir T. B. Lithbridge, was
entitled to the park at Sandhill, and also the garden, of
100 acres, stock, die., along with the mansion-house, under
the word " premises" thereto belonging.
Their lordships were of opinion that under the devise in
the will the appellant was entitled both to the park and
garden in question, and directed the receiver to give an
account of the rents and profits, and pay them over to the
appellant, and decreed accordingly with costs out of the
estate.

PETITION OP APPEAL-JUDGMENT-JOHNSON V. GAL

The question raised in this case was whether a married
woman living separate from her husband can contract gene-
ral debts legally to attach her separate estates. The debt
in question, £lOO, was for household furniture, &c.
Their lordships in delivering judgment were of opinion
that a married woman living separate from her husband
can not only contract special debts, but also general debts,
which will attach her separate real and personal estate, but
no decree can be made against her in this case in respect
that the mortgage debt exhausts the separate estate.
Their lordships discharged the decree of the Vice-Chan-
cellor, and the attachment under the decree, and dismissed
the bill and appeal with costs.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE AGATE.-AN UNNECESSARY BANKRUPTCY.

This bankrupt had carried on business at Emswortll
Hants, as a corn dealer, grocer, &c., and to-day was
appointed for his last examination.

The bankruptcy appeared to be unnecessary, as it wa
stated that the bankrupt could have paid 20s. in the pound
had he not been harshly pressed. The balance-sheet, by
Mr. Butler, commences March, 1860, and ends December,
in the same year, and shows a surplus in March of £473,
and he now owes £2,937, against which he set down bona
fide good debts £724 cash, £66 property, £1,670 of stock,
lease, furniture, &c., but on the forced sale there was a loss
of £1,174. The profits were set down at £1,044, and the
bad debts only £2l. The trade expenses £459, domestic
£220, so that he was carrying on a thriving trade, had he
not been unduly forced by one creditor.
The bankrupt passed without opposition.
IN RE WAOSTAPF.

This bankrupt was described as of Fenchurch-street,
wharfinger, and to-day was appointed for his last exami •
nation.

Mr. J. B. Sorrell, of Mark-lane, appeared for the
assignees, and asked for an adjournment, on the ground
that no accounts had been filed.
Adjourned accordingly.

CITY, Two o'CLocX.
The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days have shown very little
activity. For tea the inquiries have been limited,
and at public sale late rates have been only sus-
tained for the finer qualities. Sugars have been 8t:
pressed for sale, and prices consequently have given
at'
way ; holders of coffee, however, demand full st.
prices, and but little business has been done.
In rice moderate transactions have taken
place, without material change in values. Fruit
and spices have been in fair request at advanced
quotations. Saltpetre has continued in moderate
favour, at about previous prices. The tallow et;
market has continued inactive, particularly for sty
present delivery, and a downward movement has et/
taken place in quotations, P.Y.C-, on the spot, et:
being at 595. 6d. At the public sales of foreign B,31:
and colonial wool previous values have been sus-
st.
tained for most descriptions. Cape qualities, how- et:
ever, have been in better demand.
Although no further alteration has taken place et.
in the condition of the money market, the rates stst:
of discount still present a favourable tendency, sstt:
and as large quantities of gold are being sent
t:
into the Bank of England, increased easiness is gst:
anticipated. st 4
et(
A further large amount of gold, viz., £36,000, st,
was sent into the Bank of England yesterday, but 't!
38 000 sovereigns were withdrawn for America.

The interest has been advertised for payment on
Anglo-Peravian Bonds, Brazilian 5 per Cents., and
Danish 3 per Cents. eti
A meeting of the Oriental Bank Corporation has et,
been called for the 22d proximo.
The Bank of France has reduced its rate of
discount from 7 to 6 per cent. 1

A fair amount of business was transacted in the 21
Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices ,t(
were again a shade higher. The sales were about :V,
10,000 bales. stc
The return issued by the Bank of France for the etc
month ending yesterday exhibits a falling off of etc
£1,100,000 in the discounts, while the advances stc
have also been reduced to the extent of £640,000. stc
The bullion has been augmented £544,000. There 19.
is a decrease of £533,300 in the notes, and of
£1,200,000 in the current accounts, but the Treasury
balances have been increased £580,000.

HUNGARY.

General Turr has addressed to the municipal
Council of Kecskemet (Hungary) the following
letter :

TO THE MUNICIPALTY OF THE TOWN OF KECSKEM ET

Gentlemen,—Receive my sincere thanks for the
honour which you have done me, and of which the
journals have informed me. The remembrance of
which one's native country gives proof towards her
proscribed sons is the highest reward that these
can desire. In naming us—my brothers in exile
and myself—among the men in whom you have
confidence, you have proved that, on the one hand,
you are the faithful guardians of the national dig-
nity and right, old as a thousand years, and that,
on the other hand, the Magyar emigrants have dis-
charged their duty. The faith—that brilliant star
which has never suffered itself to be eclipsed while
we were pursuing the darkest paths of our exist-
ence as proscribed men—the faith of again seeing our
country in all its glorious vitality—sustains me
more than ever. Europe—everything announces
it—will before long find herself again converted on
the field of battle. A most important part awaits
there our country. Let us beware of following a
wrong course. The Austrian Government is en-
deavouring to induce one to believe that her highest
care for the last twelve years had been to find the
means of making the Magyar nation happy ; it
would fain persuade itself that the feasts, the ox
roasted whole, and the revels of the coronation
constitute the ne pita ultra of our national require-
ments, and that a visit eventually to the royal
palace of Buda is already a superfostation of majestic
condescension. Let us awaken it. If it keeps
silence on the events very recently past, it is for
us to come to the succour of its modesty. The
Diet ought to make it understand that the
cloak of St. Stephen himself is not large enough
to conceal from view the agonies and palpable
humiliations into which the peoples of Hungary
have been plunged day after day for eleven years
by the supporters of a usurping system. To
guarantee the union of races, behold what ought to
constitute the chief object of our solicitude. Let
no smiling perfidy succeed in embroiling us with
our natural allies. Let us reject the apparent
favours of a sinister afterthought, that might be
offered to the prejudice of our Croatian brothers.
Let the promises, the presents be subjected to a
severe scrutiny by us as well as by the Sclaves and
Roumanians, who are our fellow-countrymen. In
short, when looking at the policy of the Divide ut
iniperes, let us rally all the inhabitants of our
[Hungarian] country, without exception of race or
religion, under the sacred flag of complete civic
equality and liberty. It is on this condition alone
Hungary will become great and the nation happy.
—I am, &c., E. TURR.

MR. ERSKINE.

"The Hon. Henry Erskine was remarkable for ready
humour and repartee. Meeting in London the celebrated
Duchess of Gordon, he said to her, Are we never again to
enjoy the honour of your Grace's society in Edinburgh ?'
Oh, Edinburgh is a vile dull place ; I hate it,' responded
the Duchess. Madam,' said Erskine. the sun might as
well say, There's a vile dark morning ; I won't rise to-day.
'—A late Earl of Kelly was relating in a company that he
bad listened to a sermon in Italy, in which the preacher
described the alleged miracle of St. Anthony preaching to
the fishes, which, in order to listen to him, held their heads
out of the water. I can believe the miracle,' said Erskine,
if your lordshi was at church.' I was certainly there,'
said the peer. 'Then,' rejoined Henry, ' there was at least
one fish out of the water.'— On a change of ministry, Erskine
Was appointed to succeed Harry Dundas (subsequently Lord
Melville) as Lord Advocate. On the morning of his ap-
Pointment he met Mr. Dundas in the Parliament House,
who had resumed the ordinary gown worn by all practi-
tionerset the Scottish Bar, excepting the Lord Advocate
and Solicitor-General. After a little conversation, Erskine
remarked that he must be off to order his silk gown. "lie
not Worth your while,' said Dundas, for the short time
You'll want it ; you had better borrow mine.' I have no
doubt your gown,' replied Erskine, is made top any
-Party; but, however short may be my time in office, it shall
not be said of Henry Erskine that he put on the abandoned
habits of his predeoessors.'—Mr, A— B—r, a judge of
the Commissary Court, talked in an inflated and pompous
manner. Having failed to attend an appointment with
Erskine, he subsequently explained that he had been called
out of town owing to his brother, the proprietor of B—,
'laving, in attempting to leap a fence, fallen from a
stile, and sprained his foot. It was fortunate for your.
brother,' said the wit 'that it was not from your style he
fell, or he had certainly broken his neck.'—Shortly after
the death of Mr. John Wright, a talented but unsuccessful
advocate, the late Sheriff Anstruther remarked to Erskine
at the street, Poor Wright is dead. He has died very
Poor, It is said he has left no effects.' That is not won-
derful,' replied the humorist ; 'as he had no causes he could
have no effects.' "

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 19th have arrived.
The Constitutional states that the Emperor of the
French, in order to put an end to the conflict which
has arisen between the Cabinets of Madrid and
Turin about the diplomatic and consular archives of
the ex-kingdom of Naples, has suggested that
they shall be placed in the care of the French
ambassador and the French consuls. The Cor•
respondancia says that a number of soldiers
have requested permission to be allowed to go to
Cuba. It states also that though troops are about
to be sent to that island, they are not intended to
increase the garrison, but only to replace others
that are coming away—the force in Cuba being so
great that as many as 8,000 men can be detached
from it without inconvenience. The difficulties
which arose between Spain and the Holy See, re-
lative to the property of the clergy, appear to have
been removed. A despatch from Madrid states
that the Pope's Nuncio in that city had received
a brief from his Holiness which authorises the
prelates 'to exchange the ecclesiastical pro-
perty for Government stock which cannot be
transferred. The envoy sent by the Emperor of
Morocco to the Spanish Government disembarked
a few days back at Valencia. The heat at Madrid
is declining, the thermometer in the shade marking
26 6-10 deg. Centigrade (80 Fab.)

GERMANY.

- -
The Municipal Council 'of Berlin has voted the
sum of 100,000 thalers, to be presented to the King
of Prussia on his solemn entry into the capital after
his coronation. The money is to be applied to the
construction of a sloop of war.
The public meeting called by the extreme Conser•
vative, or Kreuz Zeitung partY, is
papers to have been less of asuccessstt stated by the
than the pro-

moters of the movement expected. Instead of the
5,000 adherents of the middle and working classes,
who, it was announced, would attend, thero were
not above 1,200 present. Count Eberhard Stolberg,
Vice-President of the Prussian Upper Chamber,
took the chair. To gain over the class of mechanics
and tradesmen to the aristocratic party, a shoe-
maker, M. Panse, was appointed Vice-Chairman,
and an upholsterer, M. %Vohlgemuth, secretary.
Several speeches were made; the longest was that
of the vice-chairman, Panse, who addressed the
meeting on the dangers and evils of free labour, and
on the advantages of the old system of trade guilds
and corporations.

The Committee of Management had insured the
harmony of the proceedings by allowing no one to
take part in them who had not previously signed a
declaration of his adherence to the entire pro-
gramme of the Conservative party.
The Publicist expresses some surprise that the
petitions to the Crown for patents of nobility
should be more numerous now than on the eve of
former coronations, as all the special privileges of
the order of nobles have been abolished by the con•
stitution. The Publicist sees in these applications
a proof that the abrogation of these rights has not
been fully accepted by an influential class of the
community, and that this portion of the Prussian
charter is not yet une verite.

BLONDIN IIV DANGER.

A correspondent writes as follows :—" I was yes-
terday (Saturday) one of the gaping crowd who
assembled at the Crystal Palace to see Blondin. By
the advice of a friend, I reluctantly expended five
shillings upon a ticket for the upper gallery, which
gave me the privilege of being upon a level with
the rope, and the advantage of a place on the plat-
form from where the man started. Shortly after I
had arrived, Blondin came upon the stage, the band
struck up a lively march, and the performance, upon
a rope 160 feet above the floor beneath, commenced.
With a steady step, the acrobat paced the first

place before another pole could be procured.
The crowd beneath, who, thirsting for mor-

when he saved himself from a terrible
position,•soon began to show symptoms of impa-
tience, and at last broke out into very audible
sounds of disapprobation. As these sounds in-

REDUCTION in PRICE of the ATHENIEUM.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE

The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex

way abated. It mattered nothing whether the
muse of Mrs. HEMANS was called in to apos-
trophise—

" The cottage homea of England 1"

Or, still more—

" The stately homes of England,
How beautiful they stand
Among our tall ancestral trees,
The glory of the land."
Nothing would do to assuage the indignation of
the Staffordshire agriculturists. Perhaps it would
have been better, under the circumstances,
to have changed the subject altogether, by
a dexterous turn of oratory: and—so doing—
by the aid of a kindred poetess, by the help of
the muse of ELIZA COOK—to

"-pledge our native land,
The ploughshare of Old England,
And the sturdy peasant band."

It would have oarried Mr. WEGUELIN'S irritated
agricultural audience with him even there, we
cannot but think, had he improvised a toast (out
of the list) with the closing words of the ditty of
our great Song-writer—

" Fill up, fill up, with glowing heart,
And pledge our fertile land,
The ploughshare of Old England,
And the sturdy peasant band."

As it was—at the close of this tiff between Mr.
WEQUELIN, of the Bank of England, and those
particularly sensitive and thin-skinned agricul-
turists of Staffordshire—one cannot help remem-
bering the impressive words addressed by PORTIA
to NERISBA, in the second scene of the Ist act of
the Merchant of Venice, " If to do were as easy as
to know what to do, chapels had been churches, and
POOR MEN'S COTTAGES PRINCES' PALACES." Still,
as one step in the right direction, we may yet have,
either from the Whigs or from the Tories (it mat-
ters little enough which), that Transfer of Lands
Bill which was last session so cavalierly.get aside.

ADELPBI THEA',RE.

I After a short recess, which has evidently been well em-
ployed, this theatre re-opened for tho season last night.
The decorations of the interior have been entirely renewed,
repainted, and retouched in the most brilliant manner, so as
to give an elegant and cheerful appearance to the house
that cannot fail to have its effect upon the good spirits of
the audience. The entrance and corridors have also been
redecorated, the former in an elegant manner, and orna-
mented with floral designs, and the latter greatly lightened
by the introduction of mirrors. The pieces selected for the
re-opening were the farce of ".Music bath Charms," in
which Mr. David Fisher and Miss Rate Kelly performed
the principal parts with their accustomed vivacity; the
popular drama of " The Collen Bawn ;" and the farce of
" Love and Hunger," in which Mrs. H. Marston, a lady
already well known as one of our best comic actresses, made
her first appearance here. " The Colleen Bawn " appears
to have lost none of its popularity, for the holise was
crowded, and the excitement of the audience at the drown-
ing scene as great as ever. Mr. Boucicault made as com-
plete a character of Myles •na-Coppaleen as he has done for
so many nights ; and Mrs. Boucicault has not lost a tittle
of her interest as the ill-fated heroine. Mr. Emery has
succeeded Mr. Falconer in the part of Danny Man, which,
though he treated it in somewhat a different manner,
throwing more warmth into it, he made quite as effective,
to say the least, as his predecessor. Mrs, Alfred Mellon
and Mrs. Billington resumed their old characters, and the
only other change in the cast of any importance was the
substitution of Mrs. H. Lewis (her first appearance) for
Mrs. Chatterley in the little part of Shelah. This was th•
232 d night of the drama, which, to judge from appearances,
is likely to retain its hold upon the town for some time
longer, in spite of the announcement that it is shortly to be
superseded by a new piece by the same author. The al.-

(IN THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
V STRICTURES of the URETHRA ; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.
" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
kreat discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
inds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. Byhis systematic management
Etn imuiense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuah_
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular.

r and appearances indicate that that firmness will be
maintained; From what is already known of the
vintage the quality of the new wine will be excel-
lent, and wine-growers in the south will not use
any of it for distillation which they can save. The
beetroot crop is not expected to be more than
moderate, and consequently the quantity of beet-
root spirit manufactured will be less than that of
last year. Corn of every description is too high
priced to be bought for distillation ; neither is the
potato crop abundant in France or in Germany.
The price of beetroot brandy in Paris is quoted at
