LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER St Tas letters written to her sister by the murdered woman, Mrs. Hurry, confirm in every particular the darkest inferences suggested by the facts already known as to the character and previous conduct of the murderer. They tell a fearful tale. It appears that for many months before the mur der was committed, HUNT was in the habit of treating his wife in the most brutal manner ; that during the whole of the present year, A all events, she was the victim of systematic ill-usage, of per violence that habitually resulted in cruel injuries, as well as of unintermitted foul language and savage threats that made her life a continual dread, and at last reduced her to absolute despair. It is very affecting to trace in them letters the progress of the poor woman's home troubles ; the sullen ferocity and violence of her husband, so habitual of late that he rarely entered the house without some display of passion, or opened his lips except to abuse, taunt, or threaten her; and her instinctive conviction during the last few months that his fixed malignity was full of danger to herself, and would inevitably lead to soma fatal issue. The tone of the letters throughout is agonizing--ahnost hopeless, in deed—but there is hardly a trace of anger in the poor woman's grief. She indulges in no abuse of her unnatural husband, and beyond the bare de tail of his ill-usage there is hardly a word against him. Here and there, too, she instinc tively betrays an aching desire for some elgn of hope, some friendly token, tome word or look of kindness from him that might relieve her monotonous misery, and help to make °theme more tolerable. On August the 4th, foe example, while still suffering so much from the effects of her husband's violence that she could scarcely get about es usual, she writes;—" He is just the " same • if anything, worse. Never spoken a wad yet, and my leg iv still very painful "to me. Saturday night was a very red night for " me. I don't Wilk there ere any more happy " days fee me in store. My life seems quite a " blink. I have lived upon hope some time, and " that has nearly died out ; but I don't know who " will be first, hope or myself." This is not the language of a hard-hearted, a vicious, or a quarrel some women, but rather of one striving to hope against hope, and yearning for some expression of sympathy and kindness, however trivial. These frequent letters to her sister, in which the writer with a trembling heart entreats her to come and see her, and speak to her, are sufficient evidence of this. The letters; especially the later ones, were, however, clearly designed to serve another purpose besides that of securing the occasional presence and sympathy of her sister. The nine letters written during the three moaths immediately preceding her death show on the part of the unhappy wife a strong and growing conviction that her worst fear wor'd eventually be reellsed, and • desire that in that case some record of her previous miserable history, which might help to explain her violent end, might be in the hands of her family. Hence each of these letters closes with a brief but earnest en treaty that it should be preserved. As early as the month of July she lays this charge on her sister. On the 23rd of that mouth, after detailing Hrwr's violent behaviour at tea, Ms seising a knife and thrusting it at her, and then flinging a chair which fell heavily upon her, inflicting • violent bruise, she adds :—" So my life is. " a very serious one, and it makes "me very unhappy ; indeed, I am now " all of • tremble when I think how it will end. " He threatens me if I my I will do anything, so " I don't know what to do. Keep this letter in " your possession ; do not destroy it." All the remaining lettere of the series up to the last— written a short time before her death, and which seems almost prophetic of that event—contain the same charge that they should not be destroyed. There was evidently good ground for the apprehen sion these injunctions betray. HUNT had long gratified his malignant feeling against his wife by acts of violence that not only strengthened the passion, but led him to indulge and cherish the thought of its fuller and more fatal gratification. His habits of personal violence thus strengthened the incipient desire and resolve to compass her destruction, and prepared the way for the accom plishment of his murderous purpose. In the very first letter of the series, written towards the end of January, Mrs. Hour writes that the previous evening her husband, after uttering dreadful imprecation; had said, "that if he " *hoes to kill her, he could do it in each • manner "that he would not be found out." His threats and violsaa.• appear to have been not onlybabitual, bat to have increased in intensity from that day to the day el her death. At the time of her death Mrs. Hoar had • wound in her noel°, the result of her husband's violence, and during the whole of the nine months preceding she appears never to have been free from injuries, more or less serious, THE EXP inflicted by his hand. The last letter et the serieel shows that the natural end of this violent conduct was, even in the mindof its victim, rapidly approach ing Dear Hainnerr,—Neverletit surpriseyou " when you hear lam dead. I feel quite certain " I cannot go on much longer with my husband. " He gets worse every day and night of my life. "If you knew and could see all—a dog would " pity me ; but I know you feel for me all you " can. I cannot say much in these lines to you, " but pity me, and come on Monday. Do not " let a shower of rain prevent you. If Ido not " see you on Monday I shall think I have not a " friend in this world. I wish I was good enough " to die, but I must try and make myself goo:1, as " what he wants, he says, is to see me dead ; then " he would laugh, and think what a good thing to " think lam gone from this world. What wig " become of me I speak the truth when I say I " shall die with a broken heart." These letters contain one new fact which is of some importance, as it supplies the probable motive of Hu wee brutal behaviour, ending in the murder of his wife, and points the more serious moral of this tei.ible story. From a letter dated March 11 it appears that Hum: had formed a connexion with another woman, and this, as was to be expected, prodnoed bitter feeling and con stant disagreement between himself end his w;.e. He appears to have been in the habit of obtruding the new connexion he had formed on his wife's notice, and making it as humiliating and offensive to her as possible. Mr,. Hutt; writing to her sister four days after the entrance of the Ringing of War.ra into London, says :—" Now, suppoin you " were a wife, would you hie your husband to " come and tell you he had paid a guinea for seats "in St. Martin's Churchyard for Fin and hi " woman! Would you I;ke that! And then t " end the day they go to the Lyceum to wind up." Here we probably obtain some insight into the central secret, the mainspring or motive principle at this mystery of iniquity. Horr was in the habit of taking his pleasure, of spending his ape - 3 time and spare money away from hia wife and home, with other women, or at ail events with another woman. He not only had a cinsle of pleasures which his wife could not share, but one in which the very thought of her was a rebuke and condemnation, and which could be enjoyed at slimly by the sacrifice of his first duties as a husband. Having in this way deeply and systematically wronged his wife, it was quite natural that he should begin to hate her, and equally natural that, having given way to that pinker, he should indus triously set himself to discover grounds or pretsxts to justify his hatred. The little time be latterly spent at borne appears from his poor wife's letters to have been wholly occupied in this wretched way—in finding fault with every th;ng in the house, abusing her for everything she said and did, and flying into paroxysms of rage at the merest trifles. This malignant paaaion, the reflex of other passions eqeally vio!ent end criminal, was evidently indulged without restraint, and it ended, as unchecked and determined hatred always tends to do, in the deal—action of its victim.. Mt- HUNT may have been by no means a model wife. She confesses in a simple, ensfrected way to hav;ng many faults; but the heavier charges brotightsgainst her by her murderer are not orly nnsoppoi :ad by any evidence, but contrel'et• Iby the testimony of her neighbours. But had she bc 'time wholly self forgetful, and indulged in every excess, it wouldhave been hardly matter of surprise, and, so far as her' husband was concerned, could be no just ground of complaint. She was what he had made her. The man who leads the life Hors led, metes of neces sity a miserable home, inflicts the extremist misery and degradation on all connschd with lthr., end if his nature is utterly selfish and morose, will naturally enough bring them with himself to a miserable end. be court.

The Morning Post expresses "sincere regret" that the English government " is about to decline to g ive its adherence to the proposed European congress." The purpose of the Emperor Napoleon was worthy of admiration, but " at the same time it has not appeared to the statesmen of this country that the means by which he wishes to catty out his projects of peace would in reality effect what he aims at" Negotiation has already failed with Russia, and it is thought here that we could say nothing more in congress than we have already said in despatches. " The ministers of a consti tutional country do not feel themselves justified in advising their Sovereign to send her representatives to a meeting which they regard as Utopian. We cannot blame them for this. It is a great respon sibility to anent to a congress which might only become the beginning of discord. And we must admit that though such a meeting, as in days gone by, may be necessary after a great convulsion, it is difficult in peacefrl times to constitute any other tribunal than that which holds its seat in the general conscience, and finds its exponent in public opinion."

(Poe tho Heck) A special despatch to the New York Times states that on the morning of the 9th instant the main force of the Confederate army was at Gordonsville, and that Acquia Creek is to be the base of General Meade's supplies. A Union scout from Richmond reports that Gene ral Lee is in command of General Bragg's army, and that it had been decided in a Confederate cabinet session to abandon Virginia as soon as Meade advanced upon Richmond. A semi-official despatch states that Lee's head quarters on Saturday night, the 7th, were at Brandy Station, and that he has not gone to Tennessee. _ _ On the evening of the 9th Buford's cavalry had reached a point two miles from Culpepper. ... ~ Another report states that the Federal line of battle crossed the Alexandria and Orange Railroad to a point where Lee was thought to be in full force. The forces of Price and Holmes are reported to have retreated to Texas. Mr. Seward has refused permission to certain parties to recruit 20,0C3 troops for the service of the Juarez government, declar:ug that such pro ceedings would be a violation of the law, and that anyone engaged therein will be prosecuted with all practicable diligence.

(riox owl owN PARIS, MONDAY EVIIENIII6. The Paris journals speak with such feeble hope of the resignation of Lord Russell that I am dis posed to think they must by this time know that the news is:not true. The Nation says that, at all events, the change would not affect the policy of, England in regard to the congress. Baron de Budberg expects to receive the Russian answer to the imperial invitation to the congress this evening. It is much noticed that the Emperor's letter con demning M. Renan's book addresses the Bishop of Arras u "Monsieur L'Er6que," and not as "Monseigneur." If this designation on the part of his Majesty is not an inadvertence, which can hardly be supposed, it is a terrible back-handed blow to the French bishops. If there is one privi lege which they cling to more than another it is their territorial title of "my lord." Of this title they were expressly deprived by the organic con vention of 1800, but after the Restoration they 'slummed it again, and even in Louis Philippe's time it was very generally granted to them by cor-tesy. In 1848 they dropped it like a hot potato, but with the Second Empire their pretensions to "lord ship" revived,with the approbation (as it was sup posed) of the new government, and it is a standing reproach with the clerical prints against the Seicle and some other independent journals that they never will call a bishop "Monseigneur." That the Emperor should at this time of day obey the law of 1800, and fling plain "Monsieur" into the face of a bishop is a great fact which will spread desolation in every episcopal palace throughout the empire. Better, a thousand times, in their opinion, that the Emperor should believe in Reran, and call a bishop Monseigneur. Louie XVIIL, it is true, wheu coming fresh to the throne after trouble= times, was in the habit of using " Monsieur," but better things were hoped from the empire under which the church for so many years has enjoyed extra ordinary license. It is reported that the Pope has invented a very ingenious excuse for not coming to Paris in person to take part in the Congress. In the first place he pleads poverty--an argument which he never mimes an opportunity to put forward, because every time he talks about his want of money be stirs up the faithful to renewed efforts to get in the St. Peter's pence. Then, moreover, he attributes his poverty to the spoliation"; of "Piedmont," and thus makes a protest by imp?i cation against the kingdom of Italy, which France has recognised. But the clinching argument, which teems with irony and admits of no reply, is that, although the Holy Father is well aware that the Emperor as the eldest son of the church would be only too happy to pay his expenses, be cannot reconcile it to his ideas of dignity to travel, like the Annamite ambassadors, at the expense of a foreign power. The judgment of the Court of Caseation, in the matter of the Courser de St. Etienne, is of very great importance. It decides that by the new law of 1861 (which wonderful to relate the Court of -Lyons had entirely overlooked) the clause in the organic decree of 1852, by virtue of which a journal was necessarily suppressed after two judicial con demnations, is repealed. The iron-clad fleet is expected back at Cherbourg after what the France calls a highly successful ex perimental trip ; but according to other accounts the ships have suffered very severe damage—the Solferino more especially—and are obliged to come to Cherbourg as the only port affording means for the necessary repairs. The Bourse opened with some buoyancy, and the money article of the Press., says that the news of Lord Russell being replaced by Lord Clarendon produced an " excellent effect." This effect, how ever, did not last long, for the Bente, after rising , Ito 67fr. 40c., closed heavily at 67fr. 25c., with very little business doing. )(chiller closed 12fr. lower than the highest price of the day, and with a rise j 'from Saturday of only 2fr. 50c.

The Lord Chief Justice now said that, whatever their opinion might have been about the occasion creating a privilege, ft the letter had contained simply • statement of the plaintiffs conduit, they thought that the de fendant could not take any advantage of that, became the letter went beyond what the occasion i world bare justified, inasmuch as it spoke of his being a " raving madman," and used other expreerioes which were in their *aim exameive beyond what any privilege would have justified, even if it had existed The rule for a Donna must therefore be discharged, end the verdict would stand. Rule dietbarged. PWIIIOI V. THE 001 .-r 0011 PAIL- THE BUIJIEG or THE INDIAN 131711JL The plaintiff in this case was the owner of the ship WWI which was beret in the Themes some time ago At time there wren insurance of the ship against bre for 10,0001. on the defendants' °See ; and the policy de. scribal the ship as "lying in the Victoria Desk, Londria, with liberty to go into dry dock and light her boiler arm caw or twine s kiing the currency of this policy." At the time of the ire the ship was ad to the dock, but was lying in the Thames; an 3 UM question was whether she was covered by the policy whilst lying there. The fury farad for the plaintiff for but a rule having base granted to enter a nonsuit, the question was wh eth er it should be made absolute. The Lord Chief Justice, in thin judgment. mid that altotniz e tte Victoria Docks there was a &raving-dock, in which were lifted high and dry by means of pontoons, 'bat the width at this ship prevented her from foitig into the pootcoadook. She was takes late the time, and thence two miles to Langley's Dock, the nearest convenient dock. To go la them it was neemeare that the lower hell of her paddlombeelg should be removed. When the repairs were nearly completed she was taken to the t buoy in the river, about 60 yards from the % v Z a i n : e n Doek. and the., her peddles were replaced and the remainder of the repairs completed. The utmost &spat& was used, and at the sad of tea days, when the retain were needy computed ; the ship was bunted at her moorings. The evideses showed that it was wail for vessels of great weight to have their paddles replaced in the Thames after repots. It was also proved that the ship might hide had her paddles replaced in the Victoria Donk, bat the cost would lave boa four them as much as in the Thames. The evidence further showed that is the Victoria Dock there were very careful priggeratioes against damns by are ; whilst in the Themes there were only three floating seethes, which were a los( way apart, and an hour elapsed before one of them engines got to this particular ship when oa are. It was further gime in evidence that the geed insurance offices charged the .me premium whether the ship were in the Thames or is dock; but this was a prodies which had been coat/sued train far distant times; and the dereadeate oh. that their rights should not be effected ty 3ted other contracts with other oompsales. The deadest (cathodal that the ship was not covered by the =upon three (moods —that she was not lying in the Drit or in the dry dock adjoining, that she was ad in reaayy dock whatever, and that the was net in a dock or in tramlfioa from one dock to soother within the mesa lag of the polio,. As to the two brat gamed, the court thought that the defendants failed. As to the first ground, the policy did not cooing the liberty to go to any particular dry dock, and if the defendants intendri to confine the liberty to the graving dock they should have expreserd their meaning more clearly. As to the third ground they thought that the defendants were entitled to succeed. The ship was not in any dock, noria trough from one dock to another, within the manias of the policy. The court coosider , cl that the task contemplated by both patjes way sabetestially the risk of firs in a dock; end elthough the defendants were held by implication to have undertaken so much risk in the liver as =Mad in the exercise of transit from dock to dock, yet this risk in the river was limited to that transit, and did not, in the judgment of the court, extend to any time that the ship stopped in the river not for the rupees of the transit. The plaintiff placed much reliance upon the fact that it way usual with great shipbuilders to replace the paddle-wheels in the t:war ; but the question here did Dot depend upon the coati. of business usual with shipbuilders, but on the contract between the parties. According to the coast:tidbit' of the company, the ship was not covered by the policy unless she pissed direct from one dock to an. other ; and this ship did not so pass, but was delayed, god this delay was not owing to any muse connected with the pegiage. It followed that during the ten days' delay the defendants were not liable, and therefore the role must be absolute for a nonsuit. Rule absolute. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) HUDSOS r. HODMON.—JUDGNINV. Sir J. Wilde delivered sentence in this owe. which was heard a few days ago. It was the petition of a farmer's wife on the ground of cruelty. It was impossible not to see that the petitioner might have somewhat suffered from weak hulth and distracts of mind ; and that bee sufferings might possibly ban been caused to some extent by the conduct of her husband. lie (the learned judge) forebore to add ano ther attempt to supply a legal delluitioo of ci aelty ; but be could not discover suck danger to the petitioner or even that such intolerable hardship to her would accrue from her return to cohabitation, as ought to induce the cow t to grant her prayer. The husband might be a coarse rough Man, and pivot) to sudden ontbanne of pasaion, but he wan neither implacable see vindic tive ; neither had he shown any de fi - MOUT in that Ng which was the bed safety of the sex. No doubt be bad oast iidiculous accusations upon hie wife, but for these she had par ay to thank herself, for she knew his feelings ; and with regard to the quarrel with Mr. Underhill, which nr th. most eerions of them ell, her btu band had forbidden him the house. The court could not offer the petitioner any relief from the duties of ter married life. The law was not in say manner re sponsible for her choice ; and it could not be too widely kooe n that the court had neither power ' nor inclination to deal with mere unhappiness arising from Plano, ted marriages, or with the destruction of the happiness of oonjugsl life which might at ise from that most detestable vice—de unkenness. The petitioner must return to her duties u • wife, and seek to remedy by the influence of natural affection the grievances she now complained of. Petition dismissed. ROWLEY V. HOMEY.—JUDOMINT. Bra. Rowley bad brousht a suit for a divorce on the ground of adultery and c:aelty, but the es% bad been compromised, es she stated, without her consent. She bad anon placed new charges in bee petition. and asked to have it again set down for List To this the husband had replied by an appliestion to sti dread the new clauses. Sir J. Wilde decided that he could not allow the validity of the compromise to be spin questioned, for the matter had been already disposed of by the full court. As the parties had lived soother eine° the first snit, the eller.- lion of a Nulty must be altogether omitted, the costs of this motion to be costa is the Canoe. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) THAM}.
