THe predominant feeling which manifested itself so strongly among the re-assembled Peers last night, of chivalrous respect for the sorrow that hangs like a veil over the Throne, would have in sured unanimity in the adoption of the Address under any circumstances probably that could be named. The mover and seconder, the Leader of the 4 apposition and the PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL, Lord k and Lord Ittarizii., vied with one another in paying the tribute of their homage to the memory of the dead. If we must denote • THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVPTIN G, FEBRUARY 7,. .1862, polderence, we should my flat the more succinct and dos* erprineions of Lod dlizmiumars were very much mom to the purpme than the some what prolix eukgke of Lord Murmur; While in point of eloquence Lord Dl•sr must fairly be awarded the palm. Towards the does of the debate, • really useful contribution to the maxims that to so large an extent fence round our traditional polity was presented to the notice of tie Pee* by the Sgt ILETARY of Fugue= Arr, alas. The sable Lord mentioned that, in the amuse of a recent couvenation, Prime Ataxia had observed that he knew an opinion had long prevailed in this country, that the Sovereign had the choice of her Prime Minister, and that when that choice was mad*, the duty of the Crown was to follow his advice in all things until ha was removed. The Panics said that, on the contrary, a constitutional Sovereign had not the power to name a Premier, but must accept in turn the head of each party which was predominant in Parliament ; while, on the other hand, it was the Monarch's duty to communicate frankly and fully with the Minister about the measures of government, to endeavour to under stand them, and to express confidentially opinions regarding them. Lord R MULL intimated his entire acquiescence in these views, and ascribed much of the political amelioration that charac terised the present reign to the abstinence from all attempts on the part of the Court to give a mono poly of office to either of the great parties in the State. As was to be expected, the chief topic of poli tical comment last night was the American ques tion. And here the line of demarcation may be drawn very distinctly between the tone of those who spoke with the sense of responsibility, and those who spoke without that salutary check. AU con curred in praising the vigour and dignity, the promptitude in act or the forbearance in language of the Government in the Trent affair. But Lord Drrreats was feeble and captious in his criticisms on the conduct of the Federal Executive ; Lord Diener, mischievous and unde fenaive. But when Ministers came to deal with the subject of America a very different tone was observable. Lord Russ= stated explicitly that no intention existed of recognising the Southern I Confederacy, or of interfering arbitrarily with the blockade. For the first few weeks, until the Federal Republic was able to get its ships manned and equipped, the Southern ports had not indeeclbeen strictly watched ;but the reports to our Admiralty sines then stated that there seemed to be a sufficient force now maintained upon the Southern coast to enforce the blockade. Vessels did unaccountably pass in and out of certain ports, it was true ; but there was no evi dence to show that, as a general measure, the blockade was not effectual. On the still more important point of Southern recognition his language was clear and unequivocal. Time must be given for the Government of the United States to re-establish its authority, if it should be able to do so ; and should it fail, the notoriety and con sciousness of the fact would probably lead to some compromise or treaty of peace whereby the seceding States would be recognised as independent. But the difference would be immeasurable between such a result and the premature attainment of Southern independence through the interposition of foreign Powers. Such interposition would never be forgiven by the Government or the people of the Union, by whom it would always be said and believed that when they might still have re covered their former prestige and regained their former power, advantage had been taken of their difficulties to convert revolt into permanent sepa ration. It is but just to Lord DERBY to say that on this latter point the language held by him was moderate and judicious ; but upon the question of blockade he carefully guarded him self against making any decisive admission, and we shall be a little surprised, when the papers are laid on the table about whose contents he and his l►te secretary, Lord CaawaavoN, professed to feel so much curiosity, if we do not hear more upon the question. The debate in the Lower House scarcely elicited any difference of opinion on the most important questions of policy. It would be premature, indeed, to assume that because Mr. Duman' did not directly challenge the policy hitherto pursued, he and his party will abstain from all attempts to embarrass the Government on the absorbing questions connected with the continuance and pro gress of the American war. But whatever ulterior views or hopes the chiefs of the Opposition may cherish, Mr. DISRAELI has apparently had the sagacity to perceive not only that public opinion is resolutely against any attempt at intervention, but that there really is no ground on which it could be decently urged. He last night strongly supported the policy of neutrality which the Government " had sincerely adopted and sincerely maintained," declaring that nothing had hitherto occurred to shake this policy. So far he deliberately separates himself froth the organs of his party that have been incessantly clamouring for immediate inter ference. The spirit, too, in which the right hon. gentleman refers to the American Government is in equally striking contrast to the violent and vulgar tone of these journals. Referring to the affair of the Trent, Mr. DISRAELI, while praising the firmness and moderation of the Government in its demands for satisfaction, expressed at the same time his conviction that the reparation made by the American Government had been dictated by senti ments as worthy. He had, moreover, the fairness to allow that the American Government had, in a crisis of enormous difficulty, acted manfully and courageously, and that its language and conduct ought, therefore, to receive a generous and liberal interpretation at our hands. We are bound to say that in doing this act of justice to the Cabinet of Washington Mr. DISRAELI stands in honourable contrast not only to the journals but to many of the leading members of his party. We can only hope that a similar spirit of fairness and moderation may animate the speakers on the Opposition benches in the discussion of American affairs to which the House will probably soon be called. Mr. DISYJELI hints at the direction which such discussions will take in his anxious inquiries for official papers relating to the blockade of the Southern coast, as well as in his philosophic de claration that a neutral Power must anticipate a term to the conflict, and may under given circum stances interfere to secure it. That intervention, however, the right hon. gentleman intimates, will be regulated more by an instinct of the heart than by any strict regard to the dictates of international law. If so, if intervention is to be regulated by an " instinct of the heart," we may be quite sure of the direction it will take so far as this country is concerned. Thu country, however, is quite decided against any interference for any purpose. The policy of strict neutrality hitherto pursued will be as strictly maintained. Lord PALMERSTON'S declaration last night is decisive on this head. He stated that the Government had no intention of swerving from that policy. It had been dictated by a sense of prudence as well as by a regard for the national honour ; and there was, he justly declared, no reason whatever why we should interfere in a quarrel with which we have nothing no do, Mow people, certainly, thought they Aid got rid of Mr. Erwin Janus, (still it segists)Q.C. ; for, though disbarred, the Royal Patent is still nncanoelled. The man had gone to America, where he had been admitted to the New York Bar, and set up a legal partnership. Of course, the conduct of the New York Bar in admitting such a person, after being disbarred in England, furnished a tempting subject to the anti-American writers here ; but the dispassionate observer ought to remark that the Benchers of the Inner Temple are to some extent responsible for the conduct of their American brethren. It is not given to many Englishmen to understand the precise effect of being disbarred. Nor would it be correct to say that every cause of disbarment in this country is sufficient to render a person unworthy of pr►ctising as a lawyer in any other country. It is true that the leaders of the New York Bar might have written to the Benchers of the Inner Temple to ascertain the grounds upon which Mr. Evian( Jan= had been disbarred. But the necessity for such a step shows conclusively that the grounds upon which the Benchen act in disbarring ought to be made public. It is to be hoped that in any future case, either of disbarment or of reprimand, this course will be followed. In the meantime, an article has I appeared in the Law Magazine and Law Review for the present month, setting forth all the cir cumstances connected with the " disbarment of " Elwin J. Jamas, Q.C.," which must have been communicated by the sanction of the Benchers. The account is, therefore, probably authentic, and deserves, both for the sake of the British and for the sake of the American public, the widest publicity. _ _ Mr. EDWIN Jsmss was the eon of one of the Secondaries of the City of London. Be had never been to either university. Wild in his youth, he had originally tried the stage ; but to him Tragedy —which, like Mr. MIELE; he considered his forte —was more a passion than a success. Failing in this attempt, he was entered of the Inner Temple, and afterwards called to the Bar in 1836. His sue- cm was considerable, and about ten years ago he obtained a silk gown, and finally was elected for Marylebone in February, 1859. It cannot be said that he occupied any position in society ; but, considering his character, it is singular that he should have associated with men occu pying the position of some of his ostensible friends. Nor, indeed, did it seem absolutely impossible that he should become Solicitor-General. It is true that, unlike most of the Queen's Counsel of his Inn, he was not a Bencher; and an attempt had been made by Mr. CHAIITURD, the Member for the Ayr Burghs, on the occasion of Mr. Jima being appointed Recorder of Brighton, to have the causes of his exclusion from the Inner Temple Bench investigated by a Committee of the House of Commons. Mr. CHAUFTRD'S motion, however, was not only negatived, but actually erased from the journals of the House. The transactions for which Mr. JAMBS wail disbarred are long subse quent to 1866 ; but it is some satisfaction to Mr. Ca►uroao to know that his motion probably de served a very different reception than that which it obtained ; nor is it unfair to add, that if the Inner Temple Benches in the House of Commons had done their duty on that occasion, the career of Mr. Jaunts might have been less discreditable to the country than it has been. Let us now record the history of this wretched man's fall. In the spring of last year, a few months after the Member for Marylebone had re turned from his campaign with Garibaldi, and bad written his letter on the writ of habeas corpus to Csvotra, London was surprised by the publication of an address to his constituents announcing his resignation, and this was speedily followed by his retirement from Baooac's and the Reform Clubs. At the same time it became notorious that there was an execution in his new house in Berkeley square, on a judgment for &large debt. Thenrumours came to the ears of the Benchers, and also one written complaint. It was resolved that an investi gation should take place, and Mr. JAMES, bearing of this, vobtitte, red an expression of his anxiety to give the fullest information. The inquiry began in Jane, and Mr. JAMES was the first witness. The writer of the articles from which Viece facts are obtained does not produce the evidence of Mr. JAKE', probably for the very sufficient reason that it was, as he says, " a tissue of suppressions, false " hoods, and perversions of fact." But he does give the summary of the evidence adduced by Mr. Joseru PARKIN and Mr. TALLEST, the legal advisers of the late Lord YARBOROUGH. There was great difficulty in obtaining this evidence from these gen tlemen, who considered themselves bound by a secret promise not to make any disclosures. After some hesitation Mr. JAMES permitted them to be exan dned, although it is tolerably certain that if he had refused his permission the scandalous transactions with Lord WOVALEY would have remaired &secret. The policy which dictated the giving of this pro mise was adopted in order to allow Mr. EDWIN Jsuss to practise at the Bar, and so to discharge his large debts ; but simultaneous secession from two clubs, resigning • seat in Parliament and a recorderahip, were occurrences so striking and unusual that they attracted public attention, rendered a public inquiry necessary, and thus de feated the whole object of Lord Yarteosouoil's forbearance. The precise mode in which Mr. EDWIN JAMES came to owe young Lord WOILBLZY 35,0001. would be an interesting study. It is the duty of the Benchera to publish the full details. In the meantime all that is known is, that Mr. Janzs, by some means or other, induced this young nobleman, just on coming of age, to incur liabilities for his freed, the Queen's Counsel, who had become aojuainted with his family in the year 1849. For those debts Lord Woasi.zy ob tained not one farthing of benefit; on the contrary, the very money which Lord WoitaLry obtained from his father to discharge them was misapplied by Mr. EDWIN Janne. Nor was it easy even for men so shrewd and experienced as Mr. TALLINT and Mr. PARKES to bring the imperturbable Q.C. to rea son, for it was not until he was threatened " with " an exposure at all hazards," that even a full statement of his liabilities could be obtained. Tbis act of the drams was concluded about April by an agreement in which Mr. JAMES consented to retire from his clubs and public life, and to execute a warrant of attorney to Lord WONSLIY. But the incidents of the trial of " SCUILY v. " INDIUM " are even more interesting. Mr. JAN= was counsel for Mr. Scum.; Mr. Itios.Ax was the proprietor of the Illustrated London News, and was unfortunately drowned in the Lady Elgin, on Lake Michigan. The case was tried twice ; and on the first trial Mr. James cross-examined Mr. INGHAM. His crow-examination was so severe that a friend of Mr. INGRAM thus described it to Mr. JAMES when he met him at the Euston Hotel : " It is a singular accident (he said) that it was " into this very room I with difficulty led poor " Mr. Inosan, after your cross-examination of " hie; and I must tell you that if ever a man " a narrow escape of causing another man's " said., you had it on that occasion." Mr. Isoiimi himself seems to hays been of the same opinion, for before the second trial came on he said to an intimate friend in a state of great excitement, " I must lend Mr. Jsmos some " money ;" and although the friend objected, Mr. Noses( insisted, saying, " I must—l am so " afraid of him, I must do anything he asks, and you " must lend him the money for me." Mr. Ixos.tm had, in fact, between the two trials, lent Mr. Jxxsa the sum of 1,2501. A doubt seems to be ex pressed whether such an act as this would be suffi cient cause of disbarment. But if any counsel, on tho eve of an important trial, is to be allowed to borrow money of his adversary's client and remain a member of the Bar, the sooner • new Temple is built the better. The other victim of this forensic MACAU= was a west country solicitor. Early in 1858 Mr. JemEs formed this gentleman's acquaintance in a professional case ; fascinated him ; visited him ; borrowed money of him, which, beginning with the modest sum of 4001., soon rose to 22,0001. In the meantime the creditor received the whole of the fees of the eloquent debtor ; and when he had been elected for Marylebone the enthusiastic creditor, inspired by the possibility of his debtor obtaining the office of Solicitor-General or the wool sack, took for him the mansion in Berkeley-square. On the 27th of June he told the story of his dis appointment. Upon all these things being proved, the Beechen had but one course open, and they followed it. EDWIN JOHN JAMES was formally disbarred, and it is something to know that he is the only Queen's Counsel who has ever obtained this infamous pre-eminence. In vain he attempted to resign ; his resignation was refused. Indeed, it is to be observed that after he had, in a moment of reckless infatuation, permitted the advisers of Lord YARBOROUGH to give evidence, be never again appeared in person before any tribunal. His list public act was a confession of guilt. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. ROME. ROME, FM 1. A statement that the Pope was lately induced to give audience unwittingly to a peace-maker from Turin, and was extremely angry when he found out the quality of his visitor, is confirmed. M. Fran chini, a Piedmontese, arrived in Rome a few days ago with letters of introduction from one set of politicians to the national committee, and from another to the Jesuits. Father Menini, the Jesuit, got him presented to the Pope. Franchiui was at first much pleased with the cordial way in which the Pope spoke of the Piedmontese. His Holiness said that he loved the Piedmontese people, and so far from cherishing any hatred against Victor Emmanuel, be was ready to throw open his arms to him "if he would only abandon hie policy." M. Franchini was so far deceived by the unction of these words, which, however, it must be admitted, were transparent enough, as to fancy that they afforded him an opportunity to broach the object of his mission. He therefore asked the Pope whether he bad any orders to give for Baron Rica soli, as if so he was authorised to carry a message. Upon this the Pope, in a loud voice, told Franchini to leave him, and he complained bitterly to one of his chamberlains that such a person should have been introduced to him. POLAND. The Archbishop of Posen has, after long hesita tion, determined on prohibiting his clergy from taking part in any political manifestations. The pastoral letter, which he has written with that view, also enjoins all eccleeiastica to exercise their influence over their parishioners to deter them from any acts contrary to the laws and to the exist ing order of things. (Autrrzi's rasamAirs.) THE MEXICAN INTERVENTION. PARIS, PRA 7. The Moniteur of this morning says :—" It is incorrect that General Prim will take the supreme command of the allied troops in Mexico. "Each General will preserve the integrity of his command." RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, Fm. 7. The Journal de St. Petersbourg of to-day, in an article on the budget, shows that the state of the Russian finances, if compared with that of other countries, may be considered favourable, and adds that an increase in the ordinary income without any augmentation of taxes may soon be expected. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (now ova owx 001 PARIS, THURSDAY EVINIRO. The case of Dr. Pamard's election for Avignon came before the Corps Legislatif to-day. M. Le mercier (a member of the Keller clique) spoke against the validity of the return, and, although returned to the house himself as a government candidate, expressed the opinion that the system should be altogether abandoned, as being an ille gitimate interference with universal suffrage. M. Picard made a few facetious remarks upon the celebrated story of the electors who were made to "run" round the table when the scrutiny was going on—such being the interpretation put by the local authorities on the law which gives them the right to " circulate " about the scrutiny tables in order to watch the proceedings. M. Earache (go vernment orator), ignoring with supreme contempt all the enormities articled and objected against this election, merely announced in a general way that the Emperor's government would certainly continue to give the electors the benefit of ita re commendation in order to aid their free choice. Dr. Pamard was then duly voted a lawful member of the house without a division, only about twenty bands being held up against him. The Bourse has been heavy to-day, notwith standing the rather unexpected announcement that the Bank of France has lowered its discount from 4} to 4 per cent. It is quite plain, when we con sider the great demand for money at the Bank, that the directors have taken this measure from political motives, in order to support the govern ment, and not out of ordinary considerations founded upon the state of its haleness. The Reute fell 15c. for cash and 10c. for account, closing at 70fr. sc. and 71fr. 25c. Mobilier fell 10fr. The only considerable changes in railways were a fall in Orleans of 15fr. and in Lyons of 12fr. 50e. An article in the Temps, by M. Forcade, ex presses the following hostile opinion to M. Fould's scheme for the conversion of the Four-and-A..llldt per Ceuta. : Regarding the project now about to be disclosed by the Corps Legialatif in a large point of view, the first thing that strikes us is this: So far from the interests of the stockholders being hurt by the measure, they are wonderfully favoured to the detriment of the state. And why does the state so kindly consent to abandon in their favour the benefit which would arise from the strict exercise of its rights? Alas! the answer is but too easy. The state does not avail itself of its rights, because its credit is not strong enough to allow it to do so. If the general course of our policy and good management of our finances had brought the Three per Cents. up to 75, the government would not have released the holders of Four and-a-Half per Conte, from the liability to future salver sion for the sake of the paltry Fouler (difference) which some people have the lad grace to make a fuss about. In the sacrifice which the state now makes for the benefit of the fundholder, we can but see the consequence of the bad management of our finances for several years put, and the justification of those who have protested against that management. A priest named Gaubet has been convicted by the assize court of the Var of attempting to murder a girl named St. Cernin, at her home in a Toulon brothel. There appears to have been no other motive than that the girl was tired of him, and did her best to keep out of his way. He fired two pis tole at her on the staircase. The jury, having given him the benefit of "extenuating circumstances,' , he was sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment, with hard labour. Madlle.

The defendant was a widower, and he had been , terms of intimacy with te plaintiff and hi: late husband. Shortly after the death of his wife fi ve oi six years ago be met the plaintiff eta party of five or sic widows, and paid attention to one or tweet the widows, and particularly to the plaintiff.

He also said that be dal not want any long courtship, sad they agreed to marry, end selected as the church that of St. Sepulchre, where they toll the bells P O certain melancholy occaaionf. The defendant spoke of hie approaching marriage on several occasions, and on one of these occasions he said that the best of it was that his family did not object, which fatuities frequently did when they found a gentleman of 60 breaking out again. (Laugh ter.) The jury would better understand the matter when he told them that the plaintiff had some money in the hands of Mr. Boyce, and the defendant suggested that it would be • nice thing if be could get 2001. of it into his business, and when he found he could not get this, the match was broken off, and the defendant endeavoured to console the plaintiff by the liberal offer of • five-ponad note. (Laughter.) He ail not put this case as one of • broken heart, but still the plain tiff had suffered considerable lose, for having given notice to quit her house she had been obliged to leave it, arid her business had suffered considerably. Mrs. Elizabeth Burton, ablind old lady, said—ln January, 1856, I was at the party at the plsintiff's. The defendant was very polite to all the ladies, and particularly to Mrs, Eno. In December, 1861, I met Mr. Read accidentally; and I congratulated him by saying that I understood that he and a very old friend of mine ware about to be united in marriage. He said, yes, it was so, and that Mrs. Ernes was a very old friend of his also. I silted him when it was to be, and he said "very shortly."

Mr. Boyce explained how it was that he did not consent to advance the 2001., and added that when this was announced the defendant kissed the plaintirs hand, and said "My dear girl, this must be done away with, then." (A laugh.) The plaintiff said, "Thu vvary fine; am I to be made a tool (or a fool) of, and what will become of my goods ,they will be turned into the street." The de fendant replied, " My dear girl, bring your goods here," and he seemed much distreseed.

It was a suit for judicial separation on the ground of cruelty, brought by Mrs. Minerva Thwaitei, the wife of a dentist at Bristol. The mar riage took place in June, 1849, and the cohabi tation lasted till November, 1880. There had been several children born of the union. The petitioner ad mitted that for the first two years her husband's conduct to her was kind, but that after the birth of her second child • change took plum in his behaviour. In 1851 they had a quarrel about her little boy coming into their room, and be gave her • severe kick as they were in bed together. It made her very ill. In the summer of 1854 the respondent struck her • blow on the head for some trifle in reference to money matters, while she was nursing her son Willie. In July, 1856, ou her return from a visit to her friends, he showed her 201. which he had collected for the purpose of educating hie eldest eon, and asked her if it was not " a nice heap?' He took offence at the languid way in which she said it was, and went out. He did not return till two o'clock in the morning, and then he was intoxicated. While in that state he woke the child which was in bed with her, hit her, pinched her, pulled her out of bed, and threw her down on the floor. On another occasion he smeared mustard on her face and dress. He made her submit to the indignity of having one of her servants placed over her ; and when she had had • great number of teeth extracted be used regularly to send her meat which in the state of her gums she was unable to masticate. .

Mary Ann Carla, aged 20, • respectably-attired young woman, who described herself as an artificial florist, re siding at 42, Ranner-street, St. Luke's, and who seemed to feel her position acutely, was charged before Mr. D'Eyn oourt with attempting to commit suicide by throwing her self into the New River at Ilighbury. From the evidence of two respectable young women, of the name of Sarah Brown and Eliza &zithers, it appeared that on Wednesday they were taking • walk in the neighbourhood of Hig hbury , and on going up the bank by the side of the Newßiver they saw the defendant, and not exactly knowing the locality, they asked her the way. The defendant told them, but in such an incoherent manner, that the young women had left her but a few mo menta, when they thought she intended to commit suicide, and turned back for the purpose of speaking to her. Before they could reach her the defendant precipitated herself into the river. An alarm was immediately given, but before she could be got out of the water she became insensible, sod floated towards tho bridge, and had it not been for the timely assistance rendered she would have lost her life. A police constable (files, 484 N) took the unfortunate defendant to the Islington workhouse, where she received every atten tion and kindness. The defendant, who was in tears, in answer to the ma gistrate, said that she did not know what had caused ber to attempt her life. She was very sorry for what she had done, and would never again be guilty of such a rash act. The brother of the defendant said she (defeuilaut) worked for him. On the evening in question she hail a few words with a young woman with whom she lived, about the shut• tiug of a dour, and this she took very much to heart, and appeared to be in great grief during the remainder of the day. That was the only thing that he was aware could hare caused her to commit such an offence, for he did out believe that she had a young man. He would, if she was discharged, take her home, and look after her. Mr. D'Eyncourt hoped that she would see the clergyman of the district. and take his good adult,,, and, after a fur ther caution, allowed her brother to tekethe defendant away.
