Lord Penzance held a Court on Tuesday at his room in the House of Lords to hear an' application in the caseof "James v. the Rev. W.

A. Roberts," which was a proceeding by letters of request from the Bishop of Banaor to the Dean of Arches against the defendant, the rector of Llanudyfuar, in the county ox Anglesey, on a cnarge or drunKerness oa several occasions. Further it was alleged in the articles that the defendant was an habitual drunkard, and bad brought goeat scandal on the Church of England, of which he was a minister. The present application was for particulars." Dr W. Phillimore appeared in support of the application, and asked the Court io order particulars as to the allegations in the articles of intoxication.

Mr Jeune, for the prompter, said the time had elapsed when such an application could be made so defined by the rules of the Arches Court. The Dean of Arches (Lord Penzance) thought the application should have been made eirlier, but hi suggested thai the promoter should give all the information in his power. Order accordingly. Scene is a Churchyard. Much scandal has been created at Oxford by tbe refusal of the curate of St.

Thomas's parish to allow a corpse that of a female) to be interred or brought into the cemetery Unless the friends submitted to the funeral service of the Church of England being performed over the body, although the deceased, who was a member of a Nonconformist church, had. expressed a very decided wish that it should not be done, and. a service had already been performed at her own chapel, in conformity with the. wish of the deceased arid the members of- her family. The funeral being met by tbe curate arrayed in his.vestments, ready to read the Church of England service, a halt was made, and the rev gentleman was informed by the undertaker that his services were not required.

The curate, however, rejoinedthat hemust and would read the service, upon which the husband-of the deceased, personally remonstrated with him, but without avail, 'the curate having acted under the direction of his vicar. Findine that he would not allow the mterhient to proceed' unless he performed service, rather than return with the corpse the iriaima oi me ueceasea suomitteu, under strong protest Egypt, and Zanzibar.

However, the general impression was that the entire force would be withdrawn shortly. It was understood that Dr Kirk, Her Majesty's Consul-General, was to visit all the places to the north which had been temporarily occupied by the Egyptians, on board Her Maiesty's ship Thetis.

The Sultan and the Arabs of Zanzibar generally, are most grateful for the opportune intervention of the British Government in this matter, and his Highness seems more disposed than ever to meet the views of the English people as regards tha abolition of slavery to the utmost of bis ability. In a private letter which his Highness has written to Dr Badger, he especially requests that his best thanks may be given to the British Government and people, and to all those who sided with him in the late diffi culty.

Results of a Clandestine Marriags. In the Divorce Division on Wednesday, the case of Phil-brick v. Philbrick, which was the petition of the wife for a divorce, was heard. Dr Spinks, Q.C., stated that it was thought that the evidence of the infidelity alleged would not be sufficient, and-consequently only a judicial separation would be asked for. The parties were in 1872.

At that time Miss Phil-brick was a ward in Chancery, and was only seventeen years of age. An order in Chancery was obtained, forbidding the respondent to see or marry her, but in defiance of this parties were clandestinely married. For contempt of the Court of Chancery the" respondent was incarcerated, and attempts were made to uset the marriage, but without success. Subsequent to the marriage the respondent frequently assaulted his wife with a cane, and threatened to cuther throat, and. finally she was compelled to leave him.

Mrs Emma Philbrick, the petitioner, was and spoke to varions acts of violence on the part of her huBband. He threatened to cut her throat. He struck her on the face, and kicked her out of bed. i-In cross-examination, the witness admitted that she once tore up her husband's hat, but he had previously torn up her bonnet She might have bitten him once, but that would only be in self-defence. Corroborative evidence was given by a person in the Service of the respondent's father, the landlady of the house in Coram Street, and her daughter.

Mr Bunkum, a student, who lodged, at the house, spoke of the respondent being constantly the worse for liquor, and threatening cut his wife's throat with a corkscrew. At the close of the case for the petitioner. Mr Bayford placed his client, the respondent, in the witness-box. He stated that whilst at his father's 'his wife attacked him. anrl tnrR his hat tn aer ears with it On one occasion she struck him on the face with an umbrella because he said that her heels were too high, On another she bit him on ths arm.

The respondent, did not deny having caused marks, but that arose, from a quarrel in bed between uioui. come or tne quarrels emanated from her fnvolty of conduct, and she never would obey him in any one thing. The learned judge, without calling on Dr Spinks te reply, found that respondent bad been sivj legm vruaiyy. xus ijorosmp, advertine to i wo if suecessfttL wiUIeadtothe releaseof bir A case is likely tocome before tbe lawcourts which -will be of considerable interest to authors.

The -Kenealy demonstration, on tbe of Parliament was sorry affair. Dr. Kenealy made "his appeatanoo in the' street -in a--carriage and pair, and followed by some hundreds of his admirers bearing flags and banners, on which were inscribed mottoes expressing the Bjmpathy of those who carried them with the convict The procession was stopped by the police opposite the Horse Guards. A cairiage containing the Committee of the Magna Chart Association was allowed to poss, but was stopped, by the mounted police opposite Downing Street, arid escorted back, to the barrier near the Horse Guards.

Dr. Kenealy's carriage was allowed; to proceed to Palace Yard. The Member for Stoke was hissed and hooted by- the crowd. The persons: who, formed the procession and a considerable erowd, 'chicEy of lads and young men, afterwards assembled around the- foot of the 'Kelson statue in Trafalgar Square, where few speeches were some tunes played by a.iand- Iri front "of the speakers was held up a banner with the inscription; 'Think -before you speak, and speak me 'Other banners exhibited in the the following 'Thris shall it be done to the man (Br.

As the doctor retumed.from the House of Commons in a hansom cab, and so he -was passing Trafalgar Square was regogriuied by the mob, who stopped tho oab opposite StMartin's took the horse from the shafts, drawing the vehicle in the direction of St Martin's Lane. The driver appeared not to appreciate the humour of the situation, and endeavoured to get down, but was compelled to retain his seat. The cheering with which Her Majesty was greeted on Tuesday, on her way from Buckingham Palace to Westminster, had nothing in it of boisterous enthusiasm; but it was cordial. I had the advantage of walking a great part of the way a little in the rear of Her Majesty's carriage, and I bad, therefore, the best opportunity of observing the interest of the loyal greeting with which she was received.

In front of the Government Offices there were just a few hisses from a small knot of individuals, into whose faces it as quite sufficient to look to assure one's self of the small arid infatuated class from, which it came. With this trifling exception, an exception which can scarcely have come within the notice of our faithful Queen, the reception along the whole line and down to her alizbt- -ing at the usual staircase was in every respect such as must nave oeen to aer Majesty a gratuying assurance of tbe warm and undiminished loyalty of her people. The Princess of Wales looked her best, and smiled and bowed as graciously as ever. I am authorised to sjy that there is. no foundation whatever for any of the various intimations that have appeared in the public prints that Mr Gladstone is engaged upon a theological work.

We understand that the few and brief intervals of leisure Mr Gladstone can command aregiven to the slow preparation of a work which he proposes to call 'Thesauros Homerikos;" and which will aim at setting forth, in a form convenient for reference, the vast stores of fact (in a large construction of the words), or what the Germans call the Bealism" of the poems. Very considerable regret is expressed that Mr Osborne Morgan has been prevented from introducing, his Burials-BilL The reason is he has been unfortunate in the ballot. I believe that alt the Wednesdays up till ihe end of July have been appropriated, and for Mr Morgan to have introduced bis bill then would, of course, have led to a practical result. When this was discovered, his friends advised him to proceed bv means of a declaratory resolution, which he has consented todo. The consequence will be-that insteadof being shelved, the question will eome on for early discussion, and the Government will be forced to declare their policy.

The Opposition leaders have resolved to sunnori Mr Whitebread's resolution upon the Slave Circular, and a keen, party discussion is expected. It is calculated that a large number of Conservatives will vote against tue government, unless tcey tmd some better means than a Boyal Commission to help them out of their dilemma. Some member on the Government side, of influence and authority, is likely, it is said, to make a direct appeal to the Government to withdraw the Circular altogether, and so -have done with it. I understand that Mr Sevmour. ex-SLP.

for Pnnlo. and uncle of the real Boger Tichborne, has consented to become President of the Workine Man's Associa tion, which aims at securing a thorough investigation into the constitution, revenues, and charities of the rich London guilds, and that Sir Charles Dilke has undertaken to move in the Honse for a return touch ing those questions. Speaking of Boger Tichborne, by the way, it may be said that the Maena Charts, procession on Tuesday once more clearly testified to the fact that in London at least the Kenealy bubble has burst The rabble that preceded the band and accompanied the carriages was chiefly com- posed of the indigenous London rough, an undersized, squat, squalid, and microcephalous human being, who I hope is to be found in no such numbers in any other city in England. The inhabitantsof the various wag- gonettes and carts seemed in many cases to be -roseate publicans who had made the acquaintance of their own taps at an early hour of the morning, and who were met by the jeers of the crowd as they brandished ribbons of flowers and shouted Justice! Justice!" The bystanders were distinctly ia a sarcas- tic frame of mind; the van beplastered with the bills of the Englishman was greeted with general laughter, j' and the frantic gestures of one or two prominent Magna Chartists only provoked merriment. The Doctor, however, seemed greatly pleased by the no- tice of the crowd, and repeatedly and graciously took off his hat.

A good story is 'going the rounds" regarding Mr Gladstone's forthcoming work on Homer. The author of the book originally entitled it Homeric i Synchronism." His publisher, probably influenced by I the modern preference for Saxon-English, ventured to Buggest to.the right hon. gentleman that The time and place of Homer" would be better understanded of the common people and they went further than that. They related an anecdote of an old Scotch minister wbo was called upon to baptise a certain infant, and who, in the usual course, demanded of the father how the child was to be named. Alexander Augustus," said the father.

The minister, wholly disapproving of such high sounding names, answered Bharply, "Hoots, nonsense, theehild's nameis John." And sure enough the child was baptised John" forthwith. I do not know whether Mr Gladstone quite appreciated this jocular remonstrance, but at all events it led to a modification, or rather duplication of the title of his book, which now stands Homeric Synchronism, being an inquiry into the time and place of Homer." Letters from India state that His Boyal Highnessis bronzed by the sun, but is looking remarkably well, and stands the heat and fatigue quite as well as, if not better than, most of his suite. Whilst at Calcutta His Boyal Highness had a slight affection of the throat, and subsequently sustained some temporary inconvenience from strikinir and contusing his riirkt: knee against the corner of a table but with these trifling exceptions his health has been excellent throughout.

Polygajiy at Salt Lakk. At Salt LaSe City on Tuesday, Chief Justice White, in the.TJsitpd States Court, charged the' Grand Jury with respect to polygamy, saying. We had better look it squarely in the face, distasteful as. it may be to some. Let us govern ourselves by right reason and manly discretion in dealing with it.

Polygamy must be suppressed in-this territory. Mormohism' may survive, and relieve from it unshackled as' every other creed of religious worsbip, shielded and protected by the Constitution; but if Mdrmonism cannot separate itself from polygamy, it will be, to it the bridal of death. A Herodias' Boroush. Br "Wilson, medical officer for Warwick, has specially directed the Town. Council's attention to the excessive infant mortality in the borough last year, equalling 176 per 1,000 births.

Many deaths, attributed to wasting diseases of childhood, were really due to starvation and neglect, or, without mincing terms, to culpable homicide. Districts where excessive-infant mortality prevailed were sometimes called Bterodian, aQd whilst the present excessive mortality continues Warwick-would be thus, fully stigmatisei He earnestly commended matter to the district visitors, and philanthropists.

It appears that at about ten o'clock in the night a farmer named James Dwye'r was engaged in an outhouse looking after his cattle, when fifteen men entered the yard.

wiag. Swindling by Advertisements. On Monday, at Coventry, George "Baring Kemp was committed for trial on charges of obtaining postage stamps by false pretences. The prisoner, under the assumed names of Lyall and Kennie," Maynard and Wright," E. J.

Bairies," had carried on an extensive system of fraud, the modus operandi being to advertise the "new' domestic steam engine," and other wonderful contrivances, which he promised to supply for a comparatively small number of postage stamps in the': case of the domestic steam eDgine 16 stamps. By advertising largely in London and other had obtained an immense number of postage stamps, and he donned a respectable suit of clothes, and lived the life of a well-to-do commercial traveller. He did not remain long in one place, but in order toavoid detection removed from town to town, altering his name and address as occasion required, and correcting his advertisements and "bill heads" accordingly. He was apprehended at Coventry on the 15th January last The police estimated that the prisoner had swindled 10,000 persons, and yet they had difficulty in getting witnesses to come forward and give evidence to prove three cases. The Prevailikg Fashions.

The characteristic feature of the prevailing fashion is, sayB the Queen, the use of metals, steel, silver, and, above all, gold. Some evening toilettes are completely interwoven with gold or silver, according to their colour that is to say, the damask is embroidered by hand with a thread of gold or silver along the outlines of. the figure to form the design. is every likelihood that this caprice will extend to spring, for some of the new black Neapolitan straw bonnets and hats prepared for the coming season have threads of gold intermixed in the plaits, and some of the new capes made of fine grey cloth or thick grey silk are covered with silver embroidery the dark or old silver and the work is separated with rows of silk fringe with which silver is conspicuously mixed. Brown jackets ot vicugna cloth are likewise embroidered with gold, in preparation for Bpring.

But one fact is certain no one, not even manufactarers of articles appertaining to a lady's toilette, can say with any degree of certainty what will be especially the fashion in Paris at any given time, for this fashion is created in part by chance, and some seemingly unimportant detail suddenly strikes the popular fancy and is universally adopted. It was the caprice of a young elegante that mve rise to the metal galloons, and, consequently, to the various ornaments ot gold and silver which are derived from its source. Forgeries by a Boston Newspaper Pro-pbietob. The Boston correspondent of the New. Tiork Tribune, ielesraphitlg on the 25th of January, announces the flight of an ex-State Senator, the Bev E.

D. Winslow, sole owner of the Evening ETcina, and treasuter of the Boston Post Company, after committing forgeries to the amount of about 50,000. His first discovered forgery was in May last. Since that time he must have negotiated paper io the amount of half a million, for there is still almost half of that in the hands of those who will lose the full amount of the face of the notes. Some of these notes have single endorsers, and some four or five.

His favourite endorser was E. P. Porter, president of the Boston Post Company, and Mr W. E. Sheldon, manager of the Evening News.

Mr Winslow left for New York on Wednesday night, pleading fatigue and the necessity of rest. On evening the New York express stopped at Au-burndale, and he, with his wife and son and his wife's sister, took passage. The next day Mr Sheldon received a despatch from him about eleven o'clock in the morning as follows All right will be back to-morrow. Mr Winslow did not return on Thursday or Friday and on Saturday, to the amazement of Mr Sheldon, ths.business manager, Mr Porter, the president of the Boston Post Company, appeared in the office and showed him a complete bill of saleof the establishment, and continued him in his place as business manager. Later in the day a gentleman informed him that he had his endorsement on one of Mr Winslow's note3 for 25,000 dollars.

Mr Sheldon's astonishment was only eauailed bv that of the creditor when he was told that the endorsement was a forgery. This morning the matter was known.

Patterson, near Greenville, at eleven o'clock-on Saturday night.

Mrs Johnson had -long been an invalid, and while it is siated that her husband owed much to her instruction in his early and struggling days, during the prominent portions of his'' career, she was little known beyond the immediate circle of her personal friends. Improper Valentines. On Tuesday, at the Central Police Court, Bailie Young presiding, several parties were accused of having exposed forsale valentines which were considered by the authorities to be offensive to good taste. The defendants in one case were father and daughter, and in the other husband and "wife; and their defence was that, having purchased the valentines wholesale, they were not aware of the exact nature of some of them, The male offenders were in each case fined 20s. or fourteen days, the females being admonished and discharged.

It is rumoured in Court circles that it is the intention of Her Majesty the Queen to ask Parliament, in the forthcoming Session, to make his Koyal Highness the Prince of Wales Prince Kegent'- I have reason to believe that the Marquis and Marchioness of Lorne have arranged to make a tour during the ensuing summer in Canada and America, and that not improbably the Centennial Exhibition at PMladelphia will be honoured by the presence of Boyalty. The proprietors of the Times have for some time been negotiating with, the German authorities for a new telegraphic line to their office from Berlin. News will be collected in city for our contemBorary from Bussia, Austria, and Turkey. Increasing numbers of young Englishwomen are allured to Belgium by deceptive representations.

Belying" on promises of remunerative employment, attracted, moreover, by the novelty of visiting a foreign land," they often fall into snares, prepared for their ruin by established traders in vice. Others engaged for the theatres are often abandoned to want and temptation, and are sometimes rescued and sent home by the British Charity Fund Committee. It is desirable that this evil should be' more generally known, ia order to impress upon parties interested the necessity for caution. No offer, however, specious, ought to be accepted without due investigation, and a written agreement providing for the payment of the return journey in case of a termination of the engagement. This, alone, however, is but a slight security against the practised agents employed ia this commerce.

It may be news to some people thstjtherhead of the house of Murray, though a young man (36), holds one dukekom, two marquisates, five earldoms, three titles as viscount, and twelve as baron twenty-three titles in all, or six more than any other nobleman in the United Kingdom. Though known to the fashionable world as the Duke of Athole, in the House of Lords he site and votes as Earl Strange. The ducal title was created by Queen Anne, in 1703, and the Duke's son, the Marquis TulKbardine, has just completed his fifth year. In view of the additional grant on account of Indian expenses which is to be asked for the Prince of Wales, and in view of the certainty that sooner or later Per-liament willf be petitioned for an income to the last of the Queec's children, it may be well to state what the members of our Boyal Family, inclndingthe Duke of Cambridge, but excluding the Queen, have already received from the country. The Prince of Wales has received S4SO.O00; the Princess of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, his wife, the Crown Princess of Germany, Princess Alice, 84.000 Princess Christian.

54,000 the Marchioness of Lorne. 24.000: the Dnt-b Princess Augusta of Mecklenburg, whoever sne may oe, syo.uw; tne Jjuchess of Cambridge, Prince Arthur. Prince Leopold, and the Duke of Cambridge, 300,000. This is altogether little short of a million and three-quarters. Arrangements are being made for building, at private yards, six screw composite gun vessels for the Koyal Navy.

They will be of about 420 tons displacement, with engines working up to 360 horse-power, and will have a complement of 60 officers and men. The armament will consist of two revolving muzzle-loading rified 64-pound guns, and two chase guns of lighter calibre. There are already 15 vessels of "similar type in the fleet, as this class has been found particularly well adapted for service on the East and West Coasts of Africa and in the China Seas, their light araugnt oi water rendering them available ior river service. I understand that Mr Horsman is about to bring an action for libel against the World, on account of a paragraph which appeared in that journal a week or two ago, wiucri no believes to have reterred to airc The proposal to introduce into London cheap gas made from sewage has not met with any marked de mm sftwflfft Tijls rnt mpi vrith nnv marlrrl rip- gree of support. The patentees are said to have been coquetted with by would-be promoters of public companies, but to overtures such as these they have lent a deaf ear.

More likely prospects of success are afforded by a project now in negotiation to light up a town within a few miles of London requiring 10,000 feet per diem; and if the inventors succeed in doing this efficiently, at Is. per 1,000, not even the companies, with all their power, will be able to stop their progress. It is said that Mr Forster has bequeathed nearly the whole of his property to Lord Lytton, the son of his old friend, the late holder of that title, better known as Sir Edward Bulwer. The legacy is understood to be of much higher value than might have been expected. Sir George Elliot fs credited with a curious piece of philanthropy in connection with the financial embarrassment of the Khedive of Egydt The story has been current here in varions forms, but the version printed in Vanity Fair is perhaps the most probable When Sir Stephen Cave was sent out as a financial doctor, Sir George iilliot is said io have been seized with an idea that he could do a little doctoring too on the behalf of ius "friend" ihe Eledive, and" set Cafh There was Mr GaTe 011 ie side of the Khedive, trying to.

enforce a policy of prudence ami retrenchment while the English baronet occasionally got possession of the other ear, and whispered a policy of enterprise offering two millions on loan to stave off immediate difficulties. Mr Cave remonstrated against the baronets interference, but with what effect the story does not say. Sir Wm Jackson of Birkenhead, who has just died, was probaoly next to Sir George Elliot, the largest coalowner in the world. I believe he held the greater part of the faraour Clay Cross Pit He was also one ot the greatest benefactors of Birkenhead. For 21-years he sat Parliament for Newcastle-under-Lyne, and then for North Derbyshire.

He was in great measure a self-made and self-taught man. He once puuiic speecn tuat ne naa eaucareu mmself originally by reading through an encyclopaedia.
