THE facts of the YELVERTON case have been so I often and so fully brought before the public that there is little temptation to comment on a tale so painful and so well worn. But, while they are complicated and inconsistent enough to render some diversity of opinion upon their import natural, it is curious to find that it is the very simple and limited question of law which the case involves that is made the subject of the wildest misstate ment, and of the most preposterous demands. Grave writers represent, on the one hand, the laws of the three kingdoms as in conflict on this marriage ; they tell us that Major YELVERTON had till Thursday last one legitimate wife everywhere, but that now he has as regards Scotland a different one, and that the result may be to establish one to him in Ireland, another in Scotland, and a doubt as to either in England. We venture with confi dence to assure the public that there is no such present position of affairs, and no possibility of such a result being arrived at in this case. Where no prior impediment exists, and where no local code of morality intervenes, every civilized nation agrees to accept as valid within its own territory a marriage cele brated beyond its limits in such form as to be binding in the place of solemnization. We in England are very familiar with the recognition in this country of the matrimony contracted, with whatever maimed rites, between natives of Eng land at Gretna•green ; and we all know (with the apparent exception of some public instructors) that when such a marriage is brought before a court in this country, all that it does is to inquire whether the ceremony was sufficient in the eye of the Scottish law. A similar rule is observed in the courts of both countries as regards an Irish mar riage, and indeed it is universal wherever law is known. If, therefore, the ci-levant Miss Lortu- WORTH should finally establish her marriage as valid either in Ireland or in Scotland, she will from that moment be regarded, not in that part of the realm alone, but in every other part of it, as the legitimate Mrs. YELVERTON, and the circumstance that she should fail either in Ireland or Scotland will not prevent her obtaining the benefit even in the country in which she is worsted of her success before a sister jurisdiction. It so happens, how ever, that for the present no such diversity of result, immaterial as it would be, has occurred. An Irish Court has pronounced the Irish marriage effectual, and has even, upon the evidence adduced before it, declared the Scottish marriage to be proved. The Supreme Court in Scotland has declined to go into any question of the Irish mar riage, but has declared that there has, in any case, been a legal marriage in Scotland. No doubt there still lies an appeal to the House of Lords, which in its plenitude of wisdom may reverse the findings of both Courts. But if it should leave only one of them standing, it will confirm the legal position of Miss LONGWORTH as having been ever since 1857 and all over the world irrevocably entitled to the position of Major YELVERTON'S wife. Such being the true state of the law, weineed pay little attention to the frantic appeal made in some quarters to have a legislative cordon drawn round Scotland, so as to secure that the effect of her irregular forms of celebrating marriage shall not extend beyond her own borders. To do so would be to bring about the very evil which is erroneously declared to be conspicuous in the case under consideration, for it would maim it really pos sible that a man might at the same time have one legal wife in England and a different one in Scotland —a state of things which might with much greater truth than the present be described as "barbarous, " unchristian, and contrary to all natural justice." It may be that in the opinion of Englishmen in general the law of Scotland on the subject of mar riage is objectionable. Hut if we cannot succeed in inducing our neighbours to change it, we must decline to punish ourselves and incur degradation in the face of Europe, by adopting a system which would sanction concnbinage with the name of local matrimony, and introduce into Christian law the principles of a Turkish harem, subject only to the alight inconvenience of requiring the seraglio to be divided by the Tweed or the Irish Channel. Dis missing, then, further examination of this notable remedy, let uu look at the actual circumstances of nit Court. OSBORNE, Bac. 22.

The following telegram has been received at Mr. Renter's office from the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company : . - The Ottawa reached Suez on the 14th and the Nemesis on the 15th instant. They brought up the passengers (who are well) and 401 boxes of mails ex Colombo. The Messina left Alexandria at noon of the 16th, with the passengers and mails ex Ottawa and Nemesia The Marseilles portion may be hourly expected at that port and the letters will probably be de livered in London to-morrow evening or Thursday morning. The Southampton portion will probably reach there about the 29th. The Nemesis reports that the Colombo had no specie, and that 500 out of about 1,474 bales of silk had been saved. The report states, " Should weather continue fine, all will be recovered." them—of Napoleon HI. and the men who misdi rected the efforts of Napoleon I.

He proceeds to speak of Napoleon I.'s esti mation of the value of catholicism as an engine of state at a time when he was " by no means a bigot, and scarcely a believer ;" shows how the Council of State, the Corps Legialatif, and the Senate were all opposed to the concordat, and how, nevertheless, the Emperor made it. I again fail to see any practical conclusion from this reminiscence, unless it be that M. de la Gueronniere is permitted to in sinuate that there are people now in high places as unwise as those whose opinions Napoleon I. over ruled. Towards the end of the article we conic upon several florid sentences, such as this, for ex ample :—" The empire obeys a force of impulsion superior to every resistance and to every seduction." That is a very good description of the power ofJupi tor, but scarcely of anything mundane, and at 'any rate I sun unable to collect what it means as applicable to present circumstances. The writer admits that " the work of internal policy is less advanced than that of external policy." This phrase I take to be a fragment of the article origi nally written with the heading " The Liberal Empire," but, except in the vague repetition of the word "unity," I can find nothing in connexion with them to show either what is going to be or what ought to be dune. I find myself at the end of the article, and do not think I have omitted any thing important. I shall be surprised if further investigation extracts anything more from it. The Opinion Nationale and Temps say that a sharp note has been sent to the Spanish govern ment, containing a threat to break off diplomatic relations unless an apology be made for the speeches of General Prim and M. Calderon Collantes. On the other hand, the France, which was on the high stilts yesterday, seems mollified, and speaks of the latest explications of M. Calderon Collantes as "completely satisfactory."

A letter from Damascus states that the Greek Bishop Gregorios, who last rear had gone over to the church of Borne and been confirmed in his bishopric by the Pope, has been induced to recant, and to return to his former church, into which be has been again formally received. We learn from the Journal du Havre that the gale was very strong at that port on Friday last. The sea was exceedingly rough, arid a large number of spectators thronged the Petty to look at the waves that constantly broke over a portion of it. Such a gale had not been sips rimmed score 1889. A house in course of conetruction and a shed were blown down, and much damage was 3cum in other parts of the town. There bad been no wrecks up to Friday night, but several vowels had broken away from their anchors. The Southampton steamer Alliance had been detained by the g►le. Lieutenant Maury, who is now in London, having quite recently run the blockade of Charleston, says that the seceasiooizta of the South were never more decided or in better heart. " There is no Lick of food among us. As for arms, we have taken enough horn the enemy to equip all the forces that we require ; and then as to clothing, it is enough for me to say that the Custom-house receipts at Charleston for the month of July, 1F.02, were greater than they have been for the corresponding month of any year of the last ten ; and this revenue was derived chiefly from duties on clothing and munitions of war, notwith standing the famous blockade. What the receipta have been for the months of August, September, October, and Novara. her I cannot say, for I have not seen the returns. A con siderable amount of importations has also entered Warning. ton, Mobile, and the porta of Texas. Besides this, large quantities of clothing have been brought across the Potomac and the Chesapeake into the numerous rivers and creeks of Virginia, also from Ohio and other producing states of the West."

Last evening Mr. A. H. Layard, M.P., ad droned a meeting of the electors of the borough of South wark at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, in expla nation of his conduct during the last session of parliament. Mr. Geonne NEWMAN was called to the chair, and having briefly opened the proceedings, Mr. LATIUM rose to address the meeting, and was re ceived with much applause. Having alluded to the local topics which at the preempt time more immediately interest the electors and the inhabitants of the borough, such as the removal of St. Thomas's Hospital, which he condemned, and the disfigurement of the streets and thoroughfares by the construction of the Charing-cross Railway, he proceeded to refer to the questions of foreign politics which had occu pied the government during the session, sod were occupying their attention still ; and first among these he alluded to the question, of China. He had been taunted in respect of this question that when out of office he repudiated the Chinese war, but that when in office he had given his countenance to it. There was no doubt that he did repu diate that war, and last his seat in consequence ; but that war had nothing whatever to do with the present state of China and the conduct of the government in respect of that country. The great object of the government had always been to have direct communication with the Emperor of China and his ministers, and that had been accomplished, no doubt, by the war, and now Prince Rung, having put under the war party in China, wished on behalf of the young Emperor to have the assistance of this country in raising that country to its proper position among the nations of the earth. For that purpose Englishmen had been allowed to enlist in the Chinese ser vim. The Chimes government bad obtained the services of Captain Osborn, and be was happy to may he saw a de spatch from that gallant officer the other day which stated he would soon be able to place the Chinese navy under • proper system of discipline and regulation. No doubt com plaint was made that the government of this country was aiding the Chinese government in putting down the Taepiogs, as they were called, who were in rebellion against it; and he rid at thee, that if these Taepings had proved , themselves to have been men of enlightened minds, having , heads and hearts and capable of governing, that there , might have been some justice in their cause, but from the most authentic accounts which could be gathered of them, , they were neither more nor leas than • set of barbarians and banditti, living on rapine and plunder, incapable of governing or of advancing the cause of civilization. In tact, they bad now been given up by everybody, except by his honourable friend Colonel Sykes, who in the Hours of Commons last session detailed • string of horrors of a terrible character committed upon them, but which, on the most searching inquiry, had been proved to be with out the slightest foundatiou. After enlarging still further on the good effects which friendly relations and intercourse between this country and China would effect, the hoe. gentleman went on to nay that there was one other question 000nected with foreign politics which ho could not pass over, he meant the question of America. (Hear, hear.) But, at the same time, he should not say more upon it than was consistent with strict prudence. He believed that the policy the government had pursued towards America hail met with the general if not with the unanimous approval of the country. (Cheers.) That policy had been one of strict non intervention, sod be believed that no other policy could have been pursued in justice either to this country or to the United States. A valued friend of his, one of his own con stituents, a clergyman of Southwark, had some time ago sent him a pamphlet on slavery, and had asked him whether be considered the government was acting properly in respect to that question. His answer was that in dealing with this American question, government had no right to take into consideratiou the question of slavery or no slavery, or inany way to refer to the origin or the cause of the quarrel. If be was asked io the abstract was government right on the questiou of slavery, he would say atone that it was, and he would say more, that during the last few month@ the North ern States had shown the respect they attached to the re presentations of this country on that subject by striking the heaviest blow at slavery which perhaps had ever yet been struck, by giving way on the right of search question, and conceding to the propositions of this country respecting it. The United States had also shown that they were sincere in their opinion on the matter, for they had publicly exe cuted Captain Gordon,ho had persisted in carrying on this illeg al traffic. That could sot hate been done some mouths ago ; and while he said all honour to the United States for their conduct in that matter, he would venture further to say, that when the history of Lord Palmerston was written it would be found that no man iu this country bad date more for the abolition of slavery throughout the world than be had done. (Cheers.) That questiou, however, bad nothing to do with the conduct of this country towards America during the present struggle, as their interference with it would only embarrass the Northern States, for they were not, as he had said, called on to express an opinion as to the causes of the conflict, but to maintain • strict neutrality. Last session several attempt. were made to cause the government to in terfere, but they were put down, and properly so, for the recoguition of the Southern States would only have been another name for raising the blockade all along the coast, and that again would have only been another name for war with the North ; and as the recognition of the South would not have given them cotton, he should like to know . whether a war with the North would not have greatly , enhanced the sufferings of their starving operatives for the want of it. (Cheers.) He therefore thought the • government bed acted right, and he hoped the time , would soon come whey the people of the North would see that the conduct of this country towards them bad b een just, and that all the heart-burning. which now existed would have passed away. The hon. gentleman then briefly alluded to the conduct of the govern. moat as regarded Italy, and trusted that the great obstruc tion to the peace of that couutry—tbe French troops in Rome—would be speedily removed. He also alluded to the respect entertained for this country on all parts of the Con dtt htth libe ral e r res shortcomings,p party, entert ai nedctwh iwhich commanded:eat f or su tli te e t c ht oi o n tugu try ph. fluent. and attributed the cause of the advancement of the , a Pw th b e road y pi m e a ig to t h h t t o liT h ise an e port and sympathy of the country.

Mr. Holland was in the habit of frequently going into the stationery shop, of which Mrs. Clifton had the superintendence, as a customer, and would go there sometimes to get change, instead of going to the bank. According to plaintiff's case, defendant came into the shop ie a hurried manner on Tuesday, the 2.:ith of Novereher last, and asked Mrs. Clifton if she could giro him change for 10!. Mrs. Clifton was serving a customer at the time, and knowing she had not sufficient in her till, said she was afraid she amid not, but that she would go to her private cash box and are whether the could.
