SOS 2.11.11110111 Montag. 2k MO JA LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 26. The latest intelligence from America is of con siderable interest. Acrording to the telegrams which have just arrived, and which come down to the 17th of October, there have indeed been military movements, but the situation is practically unchanged. On the west of the Mississippi a sort of desultory warfare is being carried on, but it is obvious that the ope rations in those districts can have no material effect upon the ultimate success of either party. There are, in truth, only three points to which it is necessary to direct our attention. There is the army of General G/L3IORE, there is the army of Roes- CHANN and there is the army of General Means in Virginia. Gnatovie holds his ground with admi rable tenacity. BearIIZAIARD seems content to allow his adversary to erect his batteries and to complete his preparations for a new attack upon the defences of Charleston. At the time when the mail left these preparations were nearly completed. As might be expected, the Feierals had suffered some inconvenience from the enemy ; but although the monitors had been injured by the explosion of a tor pedo, there was no indication that GILMORR'S pro mised attack would even be delayed. Rosuntsio was still entrenched at Chattanooga. Even the Southern journals admit that he cannot be dislodged from his present position by an attack in front. The only possible means of assailing him is by inter rupting his communications. There is no lack of rumours that a strong force of cavalry has been sent across the Tennessee to prevent the arrival of reinforcement; by breaking up his line of com munication with Murfreesborough and Nashville ; but as yet there is no reason to believe that these attempts have met with any success. Even if ROSECRANS could not be attacked, it might seem possible to mask his front, and to detach a force sufficient to annihilate BURNSIDE. But it appears that Braman' remains at Knox ville, and has only just been compelled to retire from Athens, a station on the railway between Knoxville and Chattanooga, distant about 50 miles from the latter place. Thus BrRNSTDE Still holds the whole of eastern Tennessee, and is so placed as to render any grand movement of Beac.o's army northward upon the communications of Roseciass hazardous in the extreme. The only movement has been by the army of General Las That officer had gradually retired southward to Madison, which stands upon the southern bank of Robertson River, a tributary of the Rapidan. It is said that on the Bth of October General Lax crossed the Robertson River, with the design of outflanking General MEADE, who at once fell back "in good order and with " slight loos." Lea continued his advance, whilst MEADE continued to retire. At length, on the l4tb, the Confederates made a serious attack on the second corps of the Federal; in which they were repulsed with the loss of a battery, five guns, two oolours, and 450 prisoners. It is said that MEADE has now reached Fairfax, which is within a short distance of Arlington Heights, just opposite Washington. In the meantime General Lea has pos session of the gapsin the Blue Ridge Mountains, and has sent westward Hares corps towards Leesburg and the *Upper Potomac. It is obvious that General MEADE has no intention of resisting the advance of General Lim ; but he is no doubt prepared to receive the Confederates within his entrenchments. Nor is there any reason to doubt, if such attack were made, which party would come off victorious. It matters not to the Federal whether the army of Virginia is close to the Potomac or a hundred miles further south. The vital point at the pre sent moment is not in Virginia, but at Chattanooga, on the frontiers of Georgia. If General Lea could prevent any more reinforcements being sent to ROOZCRANB, his advance might avail something. But unless he defeats the army of MIADI he cannot deprive Rout:Rum of a single man. The only mode in which General Lee can compel General MEADS to attack him is by repeating his manceuvre of crossing the Potomac and invading Maryland and Pennsylvania. Tiii2o has this attempt to transfer the war to the northern side of that river been made, and twice has it failed. It is difficult to perceive upon what ground a third attempt should prove more successful. On the other hand, such an attempt would strengthen the conviction of the North that Until the Southern armies are defeated there can be no real security for the permanent peace of the country. To threaten the Northern States with a new inva sion the very moment when the elections are taking place proves that the Southern general has been compelled to neglect the strongest political considerations. To make an offensive movement against the army of MKADE close to its base, and posted behind its entrenchments, whilst the armies of Bruno and Joirmiroxa are unable to dislodge Roanceass from Chattanooga OP BDILIOnDi from Knoxville, is so inconsistent with ordinary principles as to baffle all attempts at explanation. If General Lim hoped to attack MEAD, before be reached his entrench ments he moms to have failed. General MEADE had nothing to gain by delivering a battle in the centre of Virginia, and he wisely declined the challenge. Having reached the selected field of battle, he will no doubt be ready to receive his amailanta.

She told witness that she had very little to eat, sad that she bad not sufilaiset food, and that she went without it to give it to the children. The youngest child was two years of age. On Saturday week she was removed to her mother's. She kept repeating that she was dying of starvation. She said that all her friends were monied and that they left her to die of starvation. Witness did know whether deceased had previously to the Saturday applied for relief to the workhouse authorities. Witaim took the note to tee workhouse about half Tait 4 o'clock. By Mr. Howard—Witness did not know when the order for medical attendance was obtained. It might have been got at 2 o'clock. Mr. Christie came to gee deceased about 7 o'clock. She was then in • neighbour's kitchen. She was removed there bemuse she sad she wished to di* there.

That was because deceased told her she was dying of hunger. She was sot able to work. She was in a delicate state of health for some time. On Saturday week one of her children led her over to witaer's house. She said the came there to die. She was Tote feeble, and could hardly speak.. She had no fire in her own house.

It was a request for an order for the parish doctor to attend • woman dangerously ill, and it stated that the cam was on. of emergency. The nor was seat et 1 o'clock on Saturday. Witness believed that deceased died from starvation. Deceased often said, "Did you ever know what it was to feel starvation? ' Eliza Smith, the daughter of the last witness, said that she took the note to the workhouse, and she was seat to Mr. Christie's private house. She was told by • lay there to call at 5 o'clock. — By Mr. ILward—Witness went .gain —at 2 o'clock— to Mr. Christie's, and an order was given for the doctor. Mr. Sincett, of Bell's.plsoe, Holloway, said he had advised deoesaed to apply to the workhouse. One of her children came to him on the Saturday, and she was then in a dying state. Witness went to Dr. Moore at 6in the evening, who said that be knew nothing of the case, but that his son had attended her ia the morning. He got a letter from his son, and visited dimmed, and the, gave witness a note, which be took to the relieving ofeoer,`Mr. Christie, and ?equated him to read it. Mr. Christie read the mote, and said abruptly that he had nothing to do with the case, and that the woman might go where her goods were going. Wit nen pressed for an answer, upon which Mr. Christie ordered him to get out of his house. Witness believed deceased died from starvation. He did not know whether deceased bad made any application before the Saturday. Witness wished to state that Mr. Christie, when he ordered witness oat of the house, kicked his legs because he did not go. (Sensation.) Witness said that perhaps be might nave been in fault, because be kept the door from being shut, while he was asking for en answer, but he acted with no insoleooe whatever; he only asked for an answer from Mr. Christie as an official. Mr. Howard — Did you sot put your legs in the doorway Coroner—He says hada so in order to get as answer. Caroline Joann, daughter of the deceased, said that her mother earned nothing. Winees woad 10s. a week, and her next sister 4• • week. What her brother earned went to pay the debt. The rent was 9s. a week, paid weekly. None of the other children earned anything. The shop made very little. By the Coroner—Witness believed deceased died of a broken heart, not of starvation. She bad all they (the children) could give her, but she had not sufficient for a sick woman. The good s were being removed because the shop failed, and they wanted to get to a cheaper place. Witness was out at work from 9in the morning until 6 I. the evening, and often leave. By Mr. Howard—The goods were of no great value Wit ness asked a gentleman end be said he would not give U. for the lot. No application for relief was made before the Saturday. Dr. F.. Moore, pariah medical officer, said that on War day week last he visited the deceased at about a quarter to 7is the evening, in sense sees of being Informed that an order given by his eon had not been attended to. Witmer then issued the following order : " Urgeot.—Oct. 17.—1 hereby certify that I have exa mined C*roline Jame, and find bar in a delirious state from privation aodi distress, said I advise that she should be im mediately admitted into the infirmary. (Signed) ' Bow. Mom!, Surgeon. "To Messrs. Connie, Sadler, and Runtime, relieving officers, Betheallgreen Waldman." Witless sent that ordsr by Mr. Sinnott, but it was not meted upon. Dr. is. U. Wallace said that he was celled to deoeseed on Wednesday morn sad at first his assistant attended. She was dee d ing, when witness saw her. She was much emacia;ed. The post nor tern examination proved that the lungs ware effected. There wee consumption, and the heart was thin. The stomach and intestine' were distended with pa, and presented no trace or remains of food whatever. I There was a mark of congestion ori the stomach from gastric juice. showing the Ammo* of food. The blood was this, and the intestines and viscera were bloodier, which showed that the stemma of food bad been of some duration. He should say that there bad been no solid food for some days. She must have been suffering from want of food for linger than some week& The liver was nearly whit* from want of blood. He should say that the mese of death was consumption, accelerated by west of food and proper are and attendance. Dr. Moore and Dr. Owen sedated at the post mortem examination. Dv. Moore, recalled, said that he entirely concurred in the testimony of Dr. Wallace. There was evidence in the body of long costumed 'dentition. Mr. Charles Christie, relieving officer, was then axe =load b Mr. Howard—The first applications*, made to him on the y, about ludflian 5 o'clock, by a female, who brought the following sate from Mr. Moore, jun. : "1 agility that I summed Caroline James, and that she is in a declining sate, and requires more attendance than she is able to get at home.

Witness said that be could not take any order from Mr. Moon, jun as he was not in any way commend with the parish, and that the woman was sprinkle patient. He went downs the omens and saw the family were 'movie*, and he mid—Well, wherever the goods ere going to let the good woman be taken to. He would have inquired and given an order for relief, but that the family were removing to Hack ney. It vs/ not be it was his daughter that pee the order at 2 o'clock for Dr. Moore to attend Mrs. James. His daughter did not tell him she gave the order for his at tendasoe. The Coroner then summed up, and mid that though Mr. Christie mid that he believed the certificate about Km James was one about a private patient of Mr. Moore, jun.. it was distinctly sworn that the woman who took it told him that it was sot ea order about& private but a perish patient. Dr. Moore =planed that hie son attended solely because be (Dr. Moore) and his deputy were both out attending other patients. The Coroner said that the evidence clearly proved that deceased died from consumption, and that her death was eseslerated by waat of food and care. After the junior Mr. Moore's ontilloate was shown in vain to tin relieving officer, Mr. Sinnott took a certificate from Dr. Moore to him, elating that the deceased was delirious from privation, and it nothing was does for her, or attempted to be dose. I That fact was sot denied. It was for the jury to say 1 whether the relieving aim had or had not been guilty of Leber in the matter, The jury then deliberated for some time, and returned the fellowieg special verdict :—" We lied that death resulted from ooasemptioo. accelsrated by want of food, end we con sider that great blame is dee to the relieving officer of the palatal Betlinelpess."

This court had no right to set aside • proems of one of the superior courts; and in the ease of commitment by • county court, the power of imprisonment was given as • punishment of debtors for not obeying the order of the court. The payment was generally directed to be made by instalments, and in that respect differed entirely from an attachment. Very likely this might be a wrongful street, but the proper course would be to apply to one of the superior courts. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) The October session of this mart was opened this morn. leg by the Lord Mayor, the Common Serjeent, Alderman Balky, Alderman Gibbose, sad Alderman Lusk, Mr. Sheriff Nimes, Mr. Sheriff Cave, the sewlyappotsted sheriffs for the arming civic year, Messrs. Nicholson and Gammon, the under-sheriffs, &c. The first edition of the calendar coutales the names of 118 milkmen -99 males and 19 females. There is only one mos of wilful murder—that of Sarah Emily Mitchell for the murder of her child ; and the greet majority of the other charges in the calendar appear to be of an ordinary character. _ . The Common fierjeant, in his charge to the grand jury, congratulated them upon the nature of the charges in go. nerd not being of a very serious character. These were two eases which involved the Foes of human life ; but be wee glad to find that the offences were not committed by the persons charged with any malice aforethought, and merely amounted to manslaughter. In the first case. that in which the prisoner was charged with manslaughter, it appeared that the prisoner and depend were in a public-house, and a quarrelenaned.whieh isoded in a fight, daring which deceased, who was intoxicated, fell several times, and the next morn ing be was found dead. The medical testimony went to show that death was mimed by the fall which he had had during the fight on the previous night, and it would be for the jury to say whether or not this fact was made oat to their satisfaction. The other charge of umaislaughter was against a woman, who, it appeared, lodged in the same , house as the dec:esed. A few days previous to the occur rence the prisoner threw some water out of bar window over a woman with whom the deceased mac was cohabiting ; and of the night in question, at about 12 o'clock, some words arose, and deceased told the prieoner.who was using very eters, and abusive language, that he wanted no piece of work with her,but would set tle her by taking out a sum mousagainat her. The prisoner made a rush at him, and struck him in the chest with both her fists , knocking him backwards against the table. The prisoner went away, and deceased turned very pale and trembled very much, and said the prisoner bad frightened him. After that be vomited a quantity of blood, and continued to do so until the Thursday following, when he died from loss of blood, which the medical evi dence went to show was caused by a violent blow upon the pit of the stomach, sad it would be for the grand jury to may whether they were of opinion the injury was inflicted by the prisoner. There were two cases which did not involve the Ices of life, although they amounted to an attempt to murder. In the first case the prisoner had quarrelled with his wife, and was beating her, when her non by a former husband interfered, on which the prisoner assaulted him. His wife then interfered between them, and received a stab from the prisoner. The other charge was against a woman for attempting to drown her child. The prisoner was seen in the neighbourhood of the Regent's Canal, illusing her child. and some witnesses fol. lowed her a far as the bridge across the canal, where she rained the child and threw it over the parapet. A witness who was close by caught the child as the prkioner threw it, end se prevented ita going into the water. The Common Serjeant said although the child had not actually gone into the water, still there was water enough to drown it if it had done so ; and if they were satisfied that the prisoner threw the child with the intent to throw it into the water, she was just as guilty of the attempt as though it bad not been prevented. He then alluded to several caws in which the prisoners were charged with offences upon women and children ; and concluded by alluding to • came in which a young now in a respectable sphere of life wee charged with perjury. The perjury was said to have been committed in order to procure a marriage license. The pettier; were married; and apparently living very happily together; and be was sorry to sae it brought before them; bat as it was • there was but one course to pursue. It was stated that the prisoner had sworn that the young woman was of age, and that baked been resident in a certain neighbourhood for the space of 13 days, both of which it was alleged was untrue. As far se the age of the young girl went be mighthave been mistaken,bot in regard to his having lived in a neighbourhood foe a certain time there could be no mistake, and if the facts were made out it would be the duty of the grand jury to find a true bill The grand jury then retired to their duties. Upon the application of Mr.F. H. Lowis,the charge against a person named Woodford, preferred by the Metropolitan Board of Works, foe a nuisance, was postponed until the November amnion.

LATEt3T INTELLIGENCE. ' -DENMARK. UMARKABLW SPEECH . OF THE KING. According to the Aftonbtard, of Stockholm, the King of Denmark has just delivered the following speech :—" I have every confidence in the victory and the justice of our cause. I know that my faithful Schleswigers are Danish at heart, and that it would be a crime against them to consent to divide Schleswig. History shall not tell that the last of the Oldeobonegs parcelled out Denmark. If, however, in the course of time we must succumb as being the weakest, and France and Sweden permit the moat southern pro vince of Scandinavia, the old Jutland of the south, to share the fate of Galicia, of Poland, and of Northern Italy, by being overpowered and sup pressed by German governments, then I will descend from the throne and will proclaim the re public. I passed three years of my youth in Switzerland ; I have studied the laws and institu tions of that country, and I am convinced that no people in Europe is more fitted for the republican system than my dear Danish people." THE RUSSIANS IN THE BLACK SEA. According to intelligence in the Austrian papers, the Turks are encouraging the transport of volun teers, arms, and munitions to Cireassia. An important reinforcement has just succeeded in escaping the Russian cruiaers, and landing at Bar dune ; and at the date of the last accounts a third expedition was about to make the attempt. It seems that it was in protesting at Constantinople against these expeditions that the Russian ambas sador uttered the menaces which have been recently mentioned in the Constantinople telegrams. The Wanderer, of Vienna, says that the successful ex pedition just referred to landed numerous Polish, French, Italian, and even English volunteers. There were also several artisans, two mining engi neers, and another engineer, all provided with arms and other instruments. Cimassia has now received 9 rifled cannon with 30,000 charges, 150 revolvers, and 3,400 Minid rifles. ITALY. Yielding to the advice of his ministers the King of Italy has, it is stated, consented to take a fresh journey to Naples and Tuscany. He will leave about the 7th of next month, and return by the 17th, the time of the opening of the session. On his way, the King will open three new railway lines, especially that from Ancona to Foggia, which is a branch of the line intended to unite Turin and Naples. The grand naval review which was to have taken place some weeks ago at Genoa, but which was adjourned, will be held in the Gulf of Naples. Nearly the whole of the Italian fleet will be there.

(PROM 01711 OWN CORREISPONDINT.) PARIS, SUNDAY EVINING. 'The Vincennes steeplechases; which, it will be remembered, were only established last spring, are already one of the "institutions" of Paris. The first autumn meeting to-day was favoured by beautiful weather and attended by immense crowds both of the fashionable world and of the middle and lower classes. The ground, softened a little by the late mina, is in much better order than it was when the racecourse was first opened. The Emperor was not present, but his tribune was occupied by Prince Murat and his family. Prince Joachim Murat, M. Cartier, and another gentle man acted as judges. The principal prize of the day, 10,0001 r. (besides entries) received an appro priate local name, " Prix du chime de Saint Louis," in commemoration of the tradition that Saint Louis dispensed justice under an oak tree in the forest of Vincennes. This historical prize was gained after an exciting contest by Auricula—a grey mare of remarkable beauty, belonging to M. Desvignes, and admirably ridden by Enoch. The second horse was M. Fas quet's Bean Sejour, mounted by Cassidy. Beau Sejour made all the running, and repeatedly passed Auricula, but, in spite of all Cassidy's efforts, ultimately came in several lengths behind her. The result was a surprise, for although Auricula's form of going and manner of taking her leaps was very much admired, she had been badly beaten over the same ground in the spring, and it was thought she had not stamina for so long a course. The next races are fixed for November L The constitution (for though Francs is not habit ually quoted as a constitutional government it must not be forgotten that there is • constitution of the empire) says that the number of councillors of state shall not exceed 50. Now the Emperor, of course not thinking of this article of • compact which, practically, everybody is agreed to regard as of small importance, did a few days since illegally augment the number of councillors of state to 52. Attention was called to the subject in the Pram by that pestilential stickler for texts, M. de Girardin, and other journals, the France among them, then said that the language of the consti tution was too clear for doubt. It has been thought not desirable to surcharge the government orators in the Corps Legislatif with the duty of defending this flagrant illegality, and accordingly two councillors of state, MM. Vile main and Stun, are gazetted in the Moniteur of this morning to the dignity of senators. If the thing had been left there it would have attracted little notice ; but a bungling official writer in the Pays puts forth an absurd defence which makes the matter infinitely worse. This journal says the two councillors of state elevated to the Senate are not to be replaced, "and thus fall to the ground the premature arguments recently urged in certain journals about the number of councillors." How do the arguments fall to the ground 1 A palpably illegal act of the executive has been pointed out. The breach of the constitution by the highest power in the country is too clear for argument. Means are speedily devised to remedy the oversight as far as possible. But this does not prevent the illegality from having had existence. As well might it be said at the Old Bailey that a pickpocket was absolved because he had put a purse back when found out. The Pays, still blundering in its logic, takes upon itself to say that so long ago as the 18th of October, when the illegal decrees appeared, the government had the "intention" to reduce the number of councillors of state to fifty. What matters, in a question of strict law, the " intention" of the government 1 From nature's chain, whatever link yon strike, Teeth or ten thousandth breaks the chain alike. People will say, and the majority of French people will especially be disposed to say, " What does it matter whether the number of councillors of state is fifty or fifty-two 1" Govern ment writers will make capital of what they will call frivolous cavils. But it is a matter of great moment to know whether the Emperor is really to be above all law whatever. The constitution which he made was no doubt very cunningly devised, with the view of leaving him to do as he liked ; but astute interpreters have now foend out that there are many things in it which offered some small guarantees for public rights, and the time is at hand when eloquent and determined men will push to the utmost the small constitutional rights they have. ROYAL VISIT TO HOUGHTON HALL.—This ancient mat of the Walpolea, now the residence of the Marquis of Oholmondeley. received • royal visit as Thursday. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Priam.. of Wales, the Prince and Prisons Christian, the Princess Delmar, and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by the Countess of Morton, the Coasters Resentlow, Captain Grey, and Colonel Clifton, arrived here, part of the royal party on horseback and the others in • carriage, at about halt-past 4in the afternoon. Mr. Trevor, the marquis's agent, and Mr. Stanton, the resident agent, had the honour of escorting the royal party through the state apartments. Their royal highnesses wen much interested with the view they had of this fine mansion, the picture gallery, the marble hall, and state dieing-room being particularly admired. The marble ball is of noble proportions, sod is a perfect cube of 40 feet, with • stone ceiling carved in a gallery around, together with a beautiful casting in bronze of the leocnoo, and to this their royal highnesses gave especial attention, as also to the greed staircase, with the broom casting of te Gladiator. INCREASE OF BENEVOLENT SOCIETIES:B.—Another addition has been made to these useful institutions by the establishment of an Auctioneers'lßenevolent Food, to assist theme who from want of soccer or other adverse influences have become reduced in circumstanoes. At a recent meet. ing held at the Auction Mart of the most influential of the London firms resolutions were agreed to and a fund forth with raised amounting to 551/. 5.., and annual 'absent,. tines of 90/. 16e. 61. towards this deserving project. It is somewhat strange, whilst almost'enery other profession or trade is represseted in the numerous charitable societies of the metropolis such a body as the London auctioneers should have been content hitherto to leave to personal benevoleees that aid which is much more readily edmi aistered by a society . The result a the meeting was so satisfactory that there is every promise of a great success to this benevolent object.
