TO OUR RIADZBB. --~ - SPOSI'IIIO IttTELLIODICE. A late edition of the Express is published every snowing during the racing season, costuming the Issulti of the day's ram. Wnered the Water Companies succeed or not in establishing that the progress of the late cala mitous tire was in no degree owing to any defi ciency in the supply of water, the present seems a sot unsuitable occasion for directing public atten tion to the bearing of their arrangements, and especially of their method of rating, on the means lee the speedy extinction of fires in private dwell **. The overwhelming magnitude of one disas ter should not make us forget that the innumera ble slighter occurrences of • similar nature involve as annual aggregate of destruction, and of suffer ing, scarcely less in amount. Nor though it happen that sometimes great capitalists have in vain provided themselves with every known re 119,1fte of science, ought we therefore to hold it less incumbent upon us to take all possible pre e•ntioas, in every possible place, against the out break of so common and so terrible an enemy. Isle an infectious disease, the extent of the ravage of a fire can never be foreseen, and commencing in a garret or a sense it may reduce palaces to ruins and ley half a city wads. If it gain head each moment's delay adds to its strength. A few gallons of water ap plied en the instant of its discovery might often died • conflagration. It is, therefore, • matter of national importance that the means of at epee subduing it should be provided, if pot able, in every dwelling. The loss of time in sending for the engines and in opening the street lisp is often irremediable ; and it is certain that If each house contained in itself a reserve cistern of tolerably capacious dimensions, and a short boss for directing the water to the points endangered, many a serious outbreak of fire would be pre venteli without the costly and destructive, though at present inevitable, aid of the Fire Brigade. Against this system amid safeguard, however, the Water Companies oppose the following obstacles. Their total charge on • dwelling-house is umde spot a variety of stems. There is first • rate of 4 per cent. on tho rental. Then there is • charge of from 4s. to 125. per annum for each single watereloset, bath, or high service, and of 25. to fie. per annum for each additional convenience of such nature. A high service is a delivery of water into a cistern more than 10 feet above the pavement. Thus, every new cistern on an upper lone involves a payment of 25. to 6s. per annum, although not a drop of water may be wanted from it or may flow into it during the whole year. In like manner, every extra watercloset involves a similar annual expense, though it is tolerably obvious that it involves no additional consumption of water or other extra expense to the companies. It sensed be expected that the poorer dallies should provide themselves either with the moans of extinguishing domestic fires, or even with the appliances of common cleanliness, at such an annual cost. The obvious remedy is that the Water Companies should be induced, like the gas companies, to charge by meter, so that water merely kept in store for an emergency should not be liable to the annual rate. There would be no more difficulty in doing this in the one case than in the other, and in point of feet the charge to large consumers of water is at present made by meter. It might be proper, in seder to throw no impediment in the way of the employment of water in the quantities necessary for health, to retain the rate on the rental, making it serve as payment for the ordinary and sufficient domestic supply, while the charge by meter should apply only to the extra consumption. But it is evident that the present forms of charge, which Inuit the mere storage and the common and need ful consumption, ought at once to be abolished. There would, indeed, be another way of attain ing the same end of readiness for a sudden de mand. It is the adoption of the system of con stant service instead of the present service for an hour a day. This system was strongly advocated by the sanitary reformers at the time when the 4leneral Water Companies Act, 15 and 16 Vic., e. 84, was under consideration of the Leinalature ; but the Companies, while they yielded in name, bad influence enough to make their concession practically useh3.ls. Constant service can only be demanded if four-fifths of the inhabitaute of a district concur in requiring it, and, when granted, it is under condition that no waste pipes shall be retained in any of the houses, and that• they shall be at all times subject to inspection by the Companies' officers. inglishmen will not readily avail themselves of a privilege which would subject them to arch risits, and which would turn their houses into so many fresh channels for the New Rover, or the Thames, in the event of a balleock becoming atiff, or an unnoticed tap beginning to drop, as taps always will do when kept under pressure. 'llia question would, howevrr, be adjusted as fairly as the other by the adoption of the metage system. The careless waste of water would be sufficiently prevented by its being made subject to the regular charge for water used, and the acoidental cones quinces of neglect would be visited with a some what less tremendous penalty than immersion in a universal deluge. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 28, 1881. There can be no good objection to these ar rangements being adopted. The experience we have had of the working of the water supply of the metropolis since the Act of 1832 would en able Parliament to 6: the charges to be made with due regard to the interests of all parties. The Water Companies, indeed, will probably de mur to having a question re-opened which at pre ' sent is adjusted in a manner so favourable to ' themselves. These bodies, which do not allow their shares to appear in the Stock Exchange lista, and whose meetings for the declaration of dividends are held in private, may easily be ap posed to have good retains for desiring to maintain the atuf us quo. In the meantime they have a I Parliamentary authority to tax the public up to certain limits, and they do push their taxation to the furthest point which thole limit* permit. Nor will there be a wish in any quarter that they should be deprived of a fair return for the capital they have invested and risked. But, on the other hand, the public, which has conferred on them exclusive privileges and peculiar powers, is entitled to require that it shall not be charged for an article so necessary to health and security as water, either at an exorbitant rate or on a system which practically renders it less available than it might be in the moment of our most pressing need.

REPLY OF THE AUSTRIAN GOVERN TO THE FRENCH DESPATCH. The following reply has been returned by the Austrian Minister, Count de Rechberg, to the despatch (which we published on Monday evening) of M. Thouvenel to the courts of Vienna and Madrid relative to their proposal of intervention in the affairs of Rome. The despatch is addressed to Prince Metternich, the representative of Austria at Paris. Vienna, June 16. I hive received with your report of the Bth of this month, No. 39, the note addressed to yon on the tith by N. Thou venal isi reply to the one you delivered to him on the 28th et Nay. We beaten first of all to express the satisfaction with which we receive the assurance by M. Thouvenel, that the government of the Emperor of the French will not adhere to any combination iocompatible with lice respect it pro forma for the dignity and independence of the Holy See, and which would be at variance with the object of the presence of the French troops at Rome. This assurance, together with the fact that tho sentiments inspired in the government of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Austria by the position of the Holy Father entirely harmonise with those which the Frisch govimunsat itself *specimen, is of a nature celealsted to aim the meet sad lively apprehensions which the late manifestations of the pule meat of Turin bad created is all catholic countries. Austria and Spain made themselves the mouthpiece of those appre hensions ; full of confidence in the intentions of France, we desired, nevertheless, to be streogthened in the conviction that the Holy Father would not find his sad position become yet more painful, and that the I Sovereign Pontiff would not be reduced to the cruel alter , satire of either quitting his capital or of sharing it with his spoliators. We wished, in short, to state once more that we were disposed to lend to France, when she desired it, our eager concurrence in preserving the independence of the chief of the church. Such was the object of oar proceed ing, and we believe that we can now cangestidate ourselves upon having undertaken it. In fact, as keg as the protec tion of Frees is, as at present, permed by the Holy Father, the adversaries of the Rely See are condemned to powerlessness, and the fiarreiga Pistil sea, together with an the faithful, wait with orinutees and confidence the moment of the iiehrilive solution of one of the gravest questions which has ever agitated the world. This definitive solution—need I repeat it l—can only consist, accordingSts us, ths integmul maintenance of the temporal sovereignty of the Pope. The numerous dispatches which we have addressed to you on this subject, can leave rib doubt in your mind as to ear seatimenta, and it would be superfluous to enter here upon a huh discussion of the matter. M. Thouvenel states that there exists, in his opinion, a IMPS connexion between the regularisation of the facts which have very conaidembly modified the satiation of the Peninsula, and the solution to be given to the Roman question. I know not whether the word " regularisation' , can be interpreted in the only sense which we tan comsat to give it, viz, in the setae of a return to the basis of the treaty of Zurich, t►e only legal point of departure, accord ing to our view, for the regularisation of the situation of the Peninsula. With this reserve we willingly recognise the oonnexioa of which M. Thouvenel speaks, and we shall be always reedy to view, under this double aspect, the question at issue. If France does not admit to day, as she did • year ago, the probability of ea armed inter. volition, and if, consequently, the only solution which can be definitive in our eyes must be yet further delayed, we consent to wait s more opportune moment, while deploring the misfortunes which the prolongation of the present state of things entails ; but our views and our principles are not in any way modified by such delay. Let me be allowed to add hem awe I have referred to the treaty of Zurich, that Art. 19 of that treaty seems to us sufficiently explicit to cause the diffisoltips inherent to the affairs of Rome to be not the only obstacle to the re eognitioe by France of the soi.dircust kingdom of Italy. I do not desire, however, to he damn into • deeper die. maim of M. Thouvenel's note. As I told you at the com mencement of this darpeteh, we feel sincere satisfaction in the tranquillising assurances given by the French Minister of Foreign Affairs. Penetrated with this sentiment, we do not 'rah to scrutinise minutely the import of every ex premien. Ws strongly recognise, moreover, what • large part mast be now left to unforeseen eon. iingencies in all that relates to Italy, and what influence events may exercise as they develop themselves. This admitted, it would be difficult for Austria se well as for Frame to state with scrupulous exactness the course end the attitude to be maintained in reference to • situation which may become modified from one moment to another. Let it suffice then, for the present, to proclaim with M. Thouvenel, that the highest expediency concurs with the greatest social interests in requiring that the chief ot the church should maintain himself upon the throne occupied by his predecessors for so many centuries. We remit to France with confidence the care of making her opinion re spected, and we are ready to mooed bra with all our strength in securing the uncontested triampb of • principle which we regard as the basis of all social order.—Receive, (Signed) Di BAMBERG. (aztrla'M rusonAms.) ITALY. TURIN, Jowls 27. The following is a summary of the French note on the recognition of the kingdom of Italy : "The Emperor, on the demand of Victor Em manuel, has recognised him as King of Italy. But by this recognition he does not approve of the past policy of the Cabinet of Turin, nor !does lie encourage enterprises of a nature to compromise the general peace of Europe. The Emperor regards the principle of non-interven tion as a rule ; hut he declines the responsibility' of any project of aggression. The French troops ' will continue to occupy Rome so long as the inte rests which brought France to Rome are not covered by guarantees."—Baron Ricasoli, in his note in reply to the foregoing, thanks the Em peror for the recognition of the Italian kingdom. He recalls the programme set forth in the re cent votes of the Chambers, and expresses a hope that the wished-for solution may be brought about without interruption. He says: "Our wish is to restore Rome to Italy without depriving the church of any of its grandeur', or the Pope of his independence. He hopes that after a time the Emperor will be able to withdraw his troops from Rome without exciting the apprehension of the Catholics, and be leaves it to the high wisdom of the Emperor to determine the moment, and trusts that France will not refuse to bring Rome to accept an arrange ment which would be fruitful in happy cause queuing. TURIN, Jun 27. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, Baron Ricasoli, President of the Council of Ministers, laid upon the table of the house the diplomatic correspondence exchanged between France and Italy iu reference to the recognition of the Kingdom of Italy. The discussion on the bill for a national loan was then resumed. Signor Joachim Pepoli, although supporting the government on political grounds, was opposed to the bill for financial reasons. Signori Galeotti and Broderio also spoke on the subject. The Opinions of to-day says :—" Count Ares° has been entrusted with an extraordinary mbeion to the Emperor Napoleon, and will leave Turin to morrow, accompanied by Signor Artour." TURKEY. PARIS, Joss 27. A telegram has been received here from Constan tinople, announcing that Abdul Asia, ou the occa sion of his accession to tbo throne, published a hat, in which he declares that he will follow the present foreign policy of the Turkish government. He also announces his intention to introduce great reforms iu the interior in favour of all his subjects, without distinction of religion. He concludes by AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, Jows 27.

Mires came on to-day in the Sixth Chamber of Correctional Police, M. Masse( presiding. A was not able to obtain admission to the court ; and, indeed, the number of ("anneal, agents, and witnesses was so great as to leave no space whatever, so to speak, for the public. There were sixty-two witnesses, and the court is not bigger than a good-sized dinicig-room In Belgrave square. The president, assailed by thousands of ' applications for tickets, resolved to give none. It is just possible that ten or • dozen people repre senting the public) may have got in after waiting several hours at the doors, but I doubt even that ; for the ordinary course on occasions of interest like this is to fill every available place in the narrow space supposed to be open to all the world with policemen in plain clothes. When the judges took their seats, M. Marie, on behalf of the junior bar, observed that there were a few Beate vacant, and asked that some of the many advocates who were waiting outside might be let in. The president, thereupon, ordered the admission of a dozen. An entire squadron of sergents-de-ville kept the crowd off from the doors of the court. The accusation against M. Hires has lost much of its original proportions during his long pre ventive imprisonment. Many heads of the accu sation have been abandoned, and the mere fact of his being brought before the Correctional Police in stead of the Assize Court shows that the grave offences of which it was given out that he had been guilty, at the moment of his arrest, are not capable of being established against him. The in dictment read to-day only charges two offences, Ist, Eseroquerie (a word meaning swindling or embezzlement) in negotiating shares en trusted to him en nantisseesene (an expression meaning deposited as a security)--and 2nd, " abuse of confidence " in the matter of the Panipeluna and Roman railways. The indictment goes into the whole history of Mirhs' life, from the time when he left Bordeaux for Paris, in 1849. He began his speculations in Paris in the latter ye*, by the pur chase, at a very low price, of the Journal des Chemins de Per (a railway journal). Later he con ceived the idea of making himself the financial agent of the subscribers to his journal, and created the bank called the Caine des Actions &tunics. This adventure is admitted to have been very successful, and in 1853 he enlarged his opera tions, and transformed the original company into the Caisse et Journal des Chemins de For. In 1856 be was joined by K Solar. The undertaking took the name of Caisse %Orate des Chemins de Per, and the capital was increased to 50 millions of francs, divided into 100,000 shares of 5001 r. In 1859, according to the indictment, Mires' Company effected a partial "winding up," dissimulated under appearance of a reduction of capital, and in June, 1860, K Solar retired from the concern. In December, 1860, M. de Pontalba, one of the shareholdcrs, brought an accusation of fraudulent practices against Mires and Solar. It was the breaking out of the Italian war which oc casioned the acts stigmatised as fraudulent. The accusation alleges that the Caine Genfrale then sold securities belonging to 333 depositors, under circumstances which enabled the bank to realise an illegitimate profit of 3,800,000 fr. It is admitted that of this sum 2,529,000 fr. has been restored to the owners. But little progress was made in the cause to-day, and it is expected that it will last for a week. M. Monginot, the accountant, upon whose report the accusation is mainly based, was examined at great length. He was frequently interrupted by M. Mirt\s, who said that his conclusions proceeded upon insufficient knowledge of the facts. M. Mires oomplained that the accusations against him were founded upon an utter ignorance of the principles of banking and that he was treated like a grocer. He alleged that when he was arrested his assets were 3,000,000 fr., and his debts only 1,400,000 ft. The Count Arese, whose arrival in Paris was prematurely announced, only leaves Turin to morrow. He will be accompanied by M. Artom, the late principal secretary to Count Cavour. The Emperor's departure for Vichy is postponed for three or four days. The 6th of July is now spoken of. The session of the Corps Legislatif closed this day. M. Plichon, the ultramontanist deputy, has brought an action against the Memorial de Lilk, for calling him an " Orleaoist ;" but the court, taking notice that the expression was used on the occa sion of the election for the councils-general, held that it was only au allowable comment upon his public character, and no libel. M. Plichon there fore is saddled with costs. The Lidipendance says that at the council in which the recognition of Italy wax finally deter mined upon the only opponents were "an august personage" (meaning the Empress), M. Walewaki, and M. Baroche. The opinions of the Empress on this subject are unfortunately too well known, and it is equally notorious that the Countess Walewaki and her husband have done their very utmost to divert the Emperor from his wise purpose ; but I should have thought that M. Baroche had been too long accustomed to trim his political sails to every wind to commit himself at this time o'day to the losing cause of the temporal power of the Pope. The Empress and the Countess Walewaki did really think at one time that they had succeeded in getting the Emperor to transfer his protection of the Pope to Austria and Spain. The intrigue had been going on for a long while, and the illusion of the fair conspirators was only dispelled by IL Thouvenel's recently published despatch. The Bourse remains in an inanimate state. The Rents closed for cash at 67fr. 60c., with a rise of 5c., and at yesterday's price, 67fr. 65c., for account. Mobilier and the railways are without change. A Vienna letter dates that M.

(Before the Judge Ordiesry.) COM% V. COAPE.—ISPICIAL Juar. Mr. J. Neale and Mr. G. Browne appeared for the peti• tioner ; Mr. Mereweather for the respondent. The respondent, Mr. Henry Coe Cosier, was stated to he the eldest son of a gentleman now deceased, who but amassed a fortune of 300,000 1 . as a sugar refiner. He oh. Mined as introduction many years ago to the petitioner, then Mira Sidney Jane King. She was the daughter of • general in the British army, who was the fourth sou of au Earl of Kingston. This gentleman had been wounded in the wars, arid, as a reward for hi+ services, was knighted, and made a groom of the bedchamber to George 111. and to George IT. The marriage of his son with the peti. tioner took place at Trinity Church, Marylebone, on the 27th of May, 1835. The lady's portion, which amounted to 2,5001., was settled upon her, and a sum of 10,0001. war also settled upon her by the respondent. Some objection was made to the smallness of this sum by the lady's friends, and it was alleged that the respondent had pro. mimed upon his honour to increase his wife's jointure to 1,000/. a year at the death of his father, but he had never fulfilled that undertaking. The petitioner now sought a dissolution of the marriage with him on the ground of cruelty, adultery, end dinuirtion. The Earl of Mounts/Label, a relative of the petitioner, proved the marriage ; and evidence wait given of an Adulterous cohabitation between the respondent and an actress named Ann Maguire.

In October, 1841, I was mired to go to Rome by my physician, Sir D. Davis, to winter there. I was reffering from cough and spitting of ldoei I took with me a lady's maid named Barnsley. I was secompanied by my husband, sad by Captais and Mies Ricketts. When we were at Florence one night I was awakened by feeling a violent chill, sod I found that the window had been thrown wide open. Mr. Cape was sestet on the sill, apparently occupied with something outride. I called to him, bat he did not hear me. I then went to him and found eat be was kissing his hand and making signal, to • window where my maid was. I told him that he was endangering my life by letting the night air in upon me in the state I was than in ; and that if be pnnued that scan. dalous amusement with my servant I must have another bed. room. On the 2nd of November we were at Rome, at the Plena d'Eapagna. I had repeatedly requested that Hems. lay should be sent home, but Mr. Cape told me that I might leave myself for he would not permit the girl to be sent away. On the night of the 2nd of November I rose from my bed and went into my husband's room. He was nee there. I then went into the dining-room and saw my hushead come out of my maid's room. I attempted to go into the room, sad my husband, suddenly putting hie arm round my waist, Bang me down. As I fell my head struck a chair sad I was stained fora minute or two. My last recolleetioa was a emeestion as if my brain wee on dry sad as if I was rushing away from my husband and the girl. Theis I became delirious. When I came to myself the next morning I found myself seated on the four of my own room, with Julia Ricketts' arm round me. Miss Ricketts is sow Mrs. Bonner, and is too ill to attend. I afterwards saw my husband in the presence of Captain Ricketts. Be said, " Madam, after what occurred last night I desire to know what are your wishes sad intern Mow? • I rid, " I demand • separation, and to be taken back to my own friends." He replied, " Madam, I shall he very happy to grant bath your request!. lam attached to the girl, sad Ido not deny it. lam perfectly indifferent to you and I have been so for a long time." As I was about to lean the room he suddenly went out and brought the girl in. I told her to quit my presence, and not presume to con. e in again ; but he held her, whilst he told me that she was quite as good as I was, and as innocent. Osptain Ricketts interposed and said, " Cape, don't insult her in that way ; things are bad enough without making them wane." The next day I told the respondent that I should not like to leave s young girl at Rome to go to ruin, but that I would have Hemsley booked by diligence to Paris, and thence to Loudon, where her sister would meet her. He said he would not permit me to send the girl home, but that he would mesa her aid take her home with use I old I would not admit to such an outrage ; that if he would trot send her away, I would take IDISEUTIS to do so myself. His answer was, •• You will do it at your peril. When s h e leaves the house, I shall leave with her." I said I could not prevent that, and that it would only mark his own mu. conduct. He replied, " I shall not only leave, but I shall take all the money and the passport with me. I shall not leave you a shilling when I go. The people will turn you into the street, and you will starve ; and you will be under the surveillance of the Police, as you will be without a passport." I replied, It will be useless, then, for me to say any more on the subject ; but I distinctly enter my protest against this insult. If Ism take the girl you will do it against my will." He said, " Madam, you will do well to L, aloe ; for nothing that you eau say will alter my purpose' We left Rome two or three days after. Sir D. Davis had told me that it would be dangerous for me to be say length ..1 time at sea, for it might lead to a rupture of a bleod-venwl. We went by land from Rome to Naples, and then returned by ma to Omits Vecchia. I fouled that the voyage had 1. licreseed my complaint that I begged him to go by land ; but he disregarded my wishes, and we embarked for Leg horn. When we arrived there I begged him to take a car riage, my symptoms had so much increased. He said I should have thought of that before we left Rome, and not have made sash a hies about my .arrest ; that my Ede was earns' to him, and that he would go on by sea. We tbee embarked fee Hems, sod when we reached that port I was so ill that I was obliged to be earned on shore ; but be sent me word that I mut be ready to proceed very early next morning, by sea, to Marseilles. 1 returned an answer to the effect that I could not go. He then came to my bed side and said, "What is all this -- nonsense? You sballgo on by sea." I said I would not, fur I could bear thi suffering no lager, and that I would rather die where I was. He said I should go, but I told him that I would not union' he carried me by force, and that then I would appeal to any parties I might see around. He went away and in two or three minutes he returned, and said, "I have decided then—we shall go by land, as I don't choose to give you an oppor• toady of making a scene • bat you will not gain much by your move, as I sh all travel with you night and day over Mount Cenis, and 1 doubt the benefit that your health will gain from the change." The next morning I was put into the diligence, aid we travelled in it two nights and three days consecutively without taking off my things, or having any rest. My husband's conduct continuea very inanities. He kept handing the girl fruit and things across me, and paid her every kind of attention before my face. We got out two or three times to take refrenhatainta. On those occasions he would hand her coffee and offer half his bread, but he offered me nothing. one time in consequence of the crowd I got nothing at all, and went the whole night without any sustenance. There was snow lying deep on Na ground. At the top of Mount Comb I nearly fainted, and begged to be lifted out of tho vehicle. I felt so ill that I begged them to leave me where I was to die. Mr. Coops kept insulting me. He mid tint those who made no much funs about virtue hadgeber.illy little of it- and that he doubted whether my vertu t aaraye would after all resist temptation. On the way I grew r. much worse that Mr. Crepe was obliged to take a private conveyance on the Journey between Lyons and Paris. I can scarcely recollect anything that occurred during those four or five days. Sir H. Chermside, who ma , called in to me at Paris, and who is since dead, told my husband that I was on the verge of brsiu fever, and nimt not be subjected tunny Irritation or ennoyance. One sight, when Julia iticketta was going to the opera, I felt such horror at being left alone with my husband t hat l clung to her. My husband snatched me from her and het.' me forcibly whil , he dashed the door of my room to, and locked it. I felt my brain give a turn ; I shrieked ; and I remember uo Before I left Paris I had an interview with the resposib et. I told bins that I desired to forgive him as a Christian fore we parted. Ms replied, "It is useless to talk of fro. giveness. My emedetet to you has been such that no wife can forgive it." Oa several occasions be had brought oft maid into the roam, cad forced her to sit down at the talde, but I had always Assn and gone away. When 1 arrived m England steps were taken on my behalf to obtain a separation.

I also initiated on basin.: en admission from him in writing that he was in fault. Thin he gave me.
