CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Times' Correspondent.) NEW YORK, JUNE 29. Almost any kind of man—if he be but young and strong, and can be drilled into obedience—is good enough for the horrible work of war. The Northern states have been blessed, or cursed, during the con tinuance of their bitter conflict with the South with a superabundant supply of such "food for Powder." All Europe has been their provider. For 20 years, in numbers annually augmenting, the moral halt and blind, the reckless, the disaffected, the brutal, the disappointed, the broken in means and character of all nations have fled to New York and Boston, like the vagabonds of old to David in the cave of Adullum, and have leavened the. whole mass of the pre-existing American people with corruption and insolence. This class, aug- Ynented by the usual supply of native vice and blackguardism that exists in all great cities, whether in the Old World or the New, gave much trouble to the local authorities prior to the war, and designated itself by names that were hideously suggestive of its character, " Blood-tubs," " " rowdies," "dead rabbits," " swipers," " spigots," " maulers," were but a few of the epi thets by which they chose to be known, and under which they figured in the newspapers in constantly recurring cases of brutal assaults or robberies and assassinations. When the war broke out this class, allured not only by the high pay and bounty money, but by the innate love of violence, enlisted in large numbers, and were the men who, by their want of discipline, inflicted upon the Republic the humilia tion of Bull Run. Since that day the Federal Generals, and more especially General M'Clellan, have converted such of them as the war has spared into very good soldiers ; and the cities of the North, relieved of their presence, have been far more or derly and quiet than they were ever known to be within living memory. So far the war has not been an unmixed evil to the North, though the behaviour of but too many of these men in Vir ginia, Tennessee, Louisiana, and other States, invaded and occupied by their arms, has been such as to embitter still more the already bitter hatred of the South towards the Yankees. The German recruits appear to have behaved the worst. In the Valley of the Shenandoah, one division of them, under Gen. Blenke, has misconducted itself so abominably in plundering the people and com mitting other excesses as to have introduced into the English language, as spoken in America, the new word " blenkerism." When a henroost has been robbed it has been " blenkered," and when a farmer's wife has been despoiled of forage, food, or milk, and grossly insulted when she demanded pay ment, she has suffered " blenkerism." To such a height had the evil arisen in this department, and so powerless was General Bleaker to put an end to it, that it has been found necessary to break up his command and draught the men into other regiments. But, if such misconduct be odious in the private soldier, what is the befitting epithet to apply to the officers, who habitually use profane and disgusting language to their men, and set them the example of habitual intoxication ? A correspondent of the Tribune, writing from Manassas Junction, speaks of officers who, when about to lead their men into battle, make themselves " beastly drunk." Are such officers to be considered mere blackguards, or are they to be held as cowards, who resort to the stimulus of strong liquor to work themselves up to the fighting point ? The same correspondent tells of a Brigadier-General, who was formerly a tempe rance lecturer, who appears before his men so drunk that he can hardly sit upon his horse, and who uses language when giving his orders too vulgar and profane to be repeated even in jest in a bar room. He also draws the picture of the chaplain of a regiment who exhibits himself " dead drunk" at his duty. He declares this and other pictures to be by no means overdrawn, and adds that he lacks language to express the facts with sufficient strength and definiteness for the public ear. Were any correspondent of the Times to make such charges they would be hailed with a shout of execration all over the country, and ascribed to the malignity of the English people and aristocracy, that invented such slanders to damage the cause of the Republic. But, if the charges are to be denied, it is right to understand that they are not made by Englishmen, but by Americans. " I know," con tinues the same writer, " of Quartermasters who en courage soldiers to steal horses and turn them over, and they then sell them to officers and army strag glers, and hangers on, who follow different divisions, disbursing counterfeit money, and swindling citi zens and soldiers. Donations sent to soldiers have been sold by sutlers and commissaries. Molasses, vinegar, salt, coffee, sugar, and various other articles are often issued at less than regulation quantities, and the surplus sold for private benefit. Army contractors follow brigades with droves of cattle that rather increase in numbers as they advance, and receive pay from Government for every pound issued, thereby increasing the stigma that rests too truthfully on us of being thieves and spoilers. Almost every tent and guard-house and shade-tree in the vicinity of a camp is a gambling resort for a few days after pay-day, and the most loathsome vices are practised by the very men who occupied respectable positions before entering the army. What," he inquires, " will be the effect on society when 700,000 men are discharged from the army to return to their homes without occupation, many of them reckless in the most emphatic sense of the term ? " The reply is—though the American peo ple are not yet in a position to admit its truth— that the army will never be disbanded. " Brother Jonathan," who boasts that he can make anything, and whose mechanical ingenuity is unquestioned, is in the deplorable position of Frankenstein : he has wade his monster, and can neither kill nor govern it — a monster that must be fed, amused, and em ployed. After the civil war is ended, either by the subjugation or the independence of the South, it will either eat up Mexico, Cuba, the West Indies and British America, or the liberties of the American people. Perhaps all of these dainties—the last the sweetest of all—will not be too much for its insatia ble stomach. Th e prospect is not pleasant for Euro peans, still less for the few Americans who are not so blinded by military passion to be unable to see liberty, that peace, pros per ity, and progress are utterly incompatible with such an army and with the pecuniary burdens that will be necessary to support it. four w eek s t h at will During the elapse between this and the Ist of August Preside 11. Lincoln will .have at his disposal a greate r number of places than ever fell at one time into the gift of any Govern ment unborn of a violent revolution. By the pro visions of the TaX Bill he has the p o wer to di v i de every State in the Union i nto districts for the Der poses of taxation, the districts not to exceed in num _ bear that of the representatives of the State in eat.. grass. To each district there • is to be an a ssessor, a c ollector, and several clerks or ass'stants. These districts are to be subdivided or subdivisible as con venience may dictate; each sub-district to have its At the deputy assessor, collector, and assistants• lowest calculation about 3,000 employes of Internal Revenue will be required. If it pleases the President to be very liberal in providing for his friends or for those of his Ministers and the prominent members of his party, the number may reach 4,000 and up wards, with salaries ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 dolls. per annum, besides fees and percentages. What a rush and scramble there will immediately be to wards Washington ! What innumerable lies will be told by the office-sekers ! What unknown, but no longer modest merit, will push and strive and thrust itself into notice ! What fountains of good nature will be tapped in Congress and elsewhere to draw off testimonials of ability and integrity in favour of incom petent h ungry candidates ! What a h erd of exPeetant s will bound towards the capital like buffa.oes to " stampede " a "s a lt lick in the prairies ! The from Ball Run will be as nothing to it. Every one of the MY or hundred thousand appli cants from whom thefor tunate three or four thou sandwill be se l ecte d m to be a true patriot, a true frien d o f the Union, „,, d n d a voter for Abrah am 14 - , above all, a fast sup ,porter of a uicoln. Unlucky and f a r more unlu c k y President ! eountry on which this swarm of w or se than moaqui t in i ts c'ee is to be let , irri tate and Ise for the first time history t • •tate and: inflame the hc) dy politic, and sack the - lifeblood of its industry ! And the worst part of the business will be that all this shameless o ffice -hunting will be periodical, and in addition to quite as much of it already in existence as any country can bear. Whatever probity and zeal the successful candidates may exhibit, r d whatever amount of experience they may acquire in their invidious and certain-to-be unpopular calling, they will be ruthlessly turned adrift at the expiry of Mr. Lincoln's term by his successor in office to make room for a new swarm with similar claims upon their party. The whole system of official appoint ' ments was bad enough before, and did not need this new aggravation to make it intolerable. But the North would not consent to Southern in dependence, and the process of payment for the luxury of coercion has come at its appointed time ; and if the North be not the quietest, most loyal, law-abiding, patient, uncomplaining people under the sun, the process will sorely try the stability of its institutions before the Republic be three years older. In the meantime its foreign commerce will be ruined by its suicidal tariff. Its Western grana ries will be deprived of half or all of their European market ; for, as Lord Derby knows, there is corn to spare in Tamboff and Odessa. Its people will be taxed as heavily for a debt contracted in less than two years as most of the European kingdoms and empires are taxed for debts contracted in as many centuries, and will have nothing in the shape of national honour, independence, or security to show for it. The great stream of foreign immigration that ran so steadily against its shores for the last quarter of a century will be dried up or dwindled to a rivulet, and there will be an end for many years to the progress of America.. Doubtless this is all for the best, even for America itself. The United States, until the outburst of the civil war, were too prosperous and too insolent ; and needed, like the Pharoahs in the plenitude of their power and pride, to be warned of their mor tality. After awhile the nation will qualify itself in sorrow and suffering, as others have done before it, for the proper enjoyment of the right of self-go vernment which it has so greatly abused. Why would it not allow the South to depart in peace? It would have been no weaker in its rela tions to the external world than it is now, but it would have been free, happy, and untaxed. Its truly glorious flag would not have floated over a single slave in all its wide expanse of territory. It would have had no cause for or pretext of hostility with any nation in the world. It would have had the west and north-west to occupy as far as the Pacific, and the great life-stream of immigration that is still so urgently needed to fertilise and cul tivate the wilderness would have continued to roll against its shores, increasing alike its power and its wealth and the happiness of the new corners. But all is changed ; lust of dominion has brought ruin, and the United States have entered on a career of debt and extravagance of which no one can fore see the end, but which every one can teli will be disastrous. All through those portions of the South that have been oecupied by the Federal armies the ladies and the clergy remain more obstinately " rebellious" than the rest of the community. "Merchants, traders, and professional men, with an eye to busi ness and the almighty dollar," keep as quiet as pos sible, and, if they do not take the oath of allegiance to the " United States," which some say they can do without treason to the Confederate States, which are also united, and have as much right to the name as the North, they prudently attend to their busi ness, in the cherished, but unuttered, hope of better times. Not so the ladies and the preachers, neither of whom attach such supreme importance to the dol lar as other people, and who claim the privilege of the petticoat in the one case, and of the cloth in the other, of speaking their minds without fear of the consequences. A little incident that has just oc curred at Norfolk—a city under martial law—will serve to show the animus of the better half of crea tion under circumstances that might well abate even feminine zeal. Nothing daunted by the recent re verses of the South, the ladies ostentatiously carry parasols representing the Confederate flag; and wear upon their bosoms and in their bonnets the colours and other symbols of their cause. In cross ing over to Portsmouth in the ferry boats they have made it a practice to unfurl their parasols, and flaunt them in the faces of the Federal Guards sta-. tioned at each side, much to the annoyance of the men and officers on duty. Instead, however, of mitigating the bad example of General Butler and calling them by vile names, the officer ordered that " the stars and stripes" should be hoisted over the gangway, so that every lady passing from the ferry boat would be compelled to walk under it or return the way she came. This so annoyed the women— for whose unreasonableness no excuse can be offered —that they complained to the military Governor that th©y had been insulted by his soldiers. A com mission was immediately appointed to investigate the charge. The result, after a good deal of bad blood had been shown on both sides, was that the ferry-boat itself was ordered to be decorated with a large Union flag. Consequently, every person who wishes to go to Portsmouth must sit or stand under the hated emblem, or remain at home. The ladies are exasperated, and the more so, perhaps, as they cannot accuse the military Governor of having exceeded his duty as a soldier, or forgotten it as a gentleman in his management of the case. _ More interesting, because more important than this little episode of the war, is the behaviour of the clergy of Nashville in Tennessee. In obedience to a summons from Governor Andrew Johnson, formerly a tailor in that State (and here let me correct an error in one of my letters relative to Mr. Munroe, the Mayor of Orleans, who is a stevedore and not a tailor), the clergy of all denominations attended in the capitol on the 18th inst. to receive a communi cation from the supreme military authority. They did not positively know, but they suspected the object of the summons, which had been made to include not only the clergy, but the physicians and the professional gentlemen generally. If they had any doubts they were soon removed, and their being called upon to subscribe their signatures ti a printed form of the oath of alle giance to the United States. A scene ensued with the acting secretary of the Governor, Mr. East, who, to end it, called for the Governor himself, who was waiting in an adjoining room. The Governor was cool, and not very polite, for he broadly told one of the clergymen, the Rev. Mr. Elliett, that he was disloyal, that his name would never be placed on the roll of patriots, and that expatriation would do him good. To Dr. Hall, a physician, he was still more uncourteous, for he said, in reply to an accu sation of harbouring resentment and seeking to gratify it, that he considered Dr. Hall too con temptible to excite an emotion of resentment in any one. Ultimately the Governor gave all parties con cerned a week to debate the matter. Before the "d of that time the Roman Catholic clergy had all co agreed to sign the oath. The Protestant clergy of all denominations refused, and they were forthwith consigned to th e P en i tent i ary as pr i soners of war, who Wa $ with th e e eption of one , th e R ev. D r. Wh ar t on , subject itolvea a few days longer to reflect on the ness. The con na a e e cluence of a severe fit of ill service last g un r y tna . e was that there was no c h ur ches or chap els ef n any of the Protestant Nashville. Yet, in face of suc h facts as these th e N evi to gabble of the rapid devele Y ork p a p ers con ti nue the South, and to Meat o f U n i on senti ment in - repeat th ex ploded fiction that the terrorism e old and and armies w as the ezer e . ised by the Southern leaders 58 t he Sole but unreal, h ost i lity of cause of the apparent , the Southern Shoot ' people.

JULY 1. All day on Sunday there was a vague feeling, not traceable to any direct source, that the Federal armies had suffered a signal defeat before Rich mond. Late in the evening a statement was THE SUN 'LiONDOK, WEDNESD gVENING JULY 1.6, 1R62. made that there lvad been a battle, that it I was not a decisive ane ; but that it was unmis takeably a victory. Yesterday morning it was announced in all the papers that there had been fighting; that General M'Clellan had made a suc cessful movement; but that the Government impe ratively forbade the publication of the particulars. This did not look Like victory ; and the people, who are not so easily hoodwinked as the official mind imagines, construed the prohibition to mean that M'Clellan had been defeated. The whole city was in a state of the most intense excitement. The sultry air was sultrier with rumours of disaster. W all-street was almost demented with alarm, and every kind of Stock went down. The Illinois Cen tral Railway Shares tumbled 2 per cent. ; Eries, per cent.; New York Centrals, 11 per cent,; and Government Stocks found no purchasers at a decline of 12 per cent. The friends of the South, who, in ordinary circumstances, say but little, were jubilant with delight, while the enemies of M'Clellan, who deny his generalship, because he has no sympathies with the negro, and cares nothing for the abolition of slavery, were equally pleased at the idea df his prophecies. The t the crowds before which their em own seamed ro to before the newspaper offi ces were so dense as to render the street imp assable for hours, and amid all se p the buzz and hum of the conflicting rumours that every moment brought forth, changing and shift ing from disaster to victory, and from victory to disaster, was to be heard one deep, unvarying growl of discontent against the Secretary of War, who would not let the truth be known, whatever might be its character. At length came authentic details, published in an extra of one of the morning papers, from which it appeared that there had been three days' hard fighting ; that the struggle virtually commenced on Wednesday, and was renewed on Thursday and Friday ; and that the results were feaeful slaughter on both sides, the abandonment by M'Clellan of his position on the Pamunkey river and the White House; and his occupation of a new line of battle and a new base of operations between the Chickahominy and the James. To day the best face is put upon the matter by Wall street and the press. It is loudly maintained that the fight was a victory, but those who are fain to believe that it was so are compelled to admit that the circumstances are wofully like a defeat. Every means are employed to keep up the spirits of the people ; and, though no later news has been received as yet (Tuesday afternoon) than to mid day of Saturday the 28th, it is confidently asserted by all whose wish is father to the thought, that M'Clellan entered Richmond on Sunday as a con queror. It is difficult, however, for any impartial, or even partial observer who reads the various ac counts that have been published in this morning's papers to believe anything of the kind, or that M'Clellan has done more at the very best than achieve a fortunate escape from destruction. It is alleged by his friends, who largely preponderate over his political foes and professional rivals, though neither of these are scarce, that he never received half the reinforcements that were promised him, or that were necessary to his success, and that nothing but consummate skill on his own part, and perfect accord between him and his army on the other, saved him from defeat and the Republic from humi liation, An uneasy feeling pervades the public mind ; and the bluster of those who would still cry " Victory" if M'Clellan were in full retreat on Yorktown is counted at its proper value, and only helps to increase the general alarm. Nor is this, great as it is, the only humiliation of the moment. General Hunter has withdrawn his troops from James Island. The attack upon Charleston is a coup manque, and cannot be added to the few causes of glorification for the approaching 4th of July. Washington, and more especially Baltimore, is not safe from a sudden attack; for, though General " Stonewall" Jackson is reported to be at Richmond it is possible that he is not a day's march from the Shenandoah. General Curtis is retreating from Arkansas into Missouri, while Beauregard—alive and vigorous somewhere, though no one can put his finger upon the exact spot—has not only neu tralised and for all active purposes extinguished General Halleck, but has confounded the councils and rendered abortive all the schemes of all the Federal Generals in the South-West by the masterly secrecy of his late retreat, He is vir tually übiquitous, and the Federal General who would pounce upon him is as much puzzled to know how to deal with him as Falstaff with Dame Quickly. He is neither here, there, nor anywhere else, " neither fish, flesh, nor fowl, or good red herring." But he is able, by the mystery of his movements, to render useless one-third of the armies of the Union. If it be the goodwill and plea sure of 112 r. Stanton, the electric telegraph will con vey, before this letter is in type, the later news of the good or ill fortune of M'Clellan before Richmond between Saturday evening and the time at which I write. If the news be that of a decisive victory, all the world will know it. If it be that of a drawn battle, a resultless attack, or a more or less serious defeat, nothing of it will be known. But if it be that of a crushing disaster, the intelligence will fly in spite of all the efforts of the Government to pre vent it, and will reach London before this letter. WEDNESDAY MORNING. P.S. I have only time to add before the depar ture of the steamer that there is no news from Richmond, good or bad, and that the President, in answer to an address submitted to him, and signed by the Governors of 18 States, has issued a procla mation calling out 300,000 additional troops for the suppression of the rebellion. RAILTVAY INTELLIGENCE. LATV INVLLIGENCE.-July 16. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings, at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Lord Chief Buron PoHoek and Common Juries.) BAXENDALE V. SMITH. This was an action against a contractor for the alleged negligent relaying of a road over the Under ground Railway. Mr. Collier and Mr. C. Pollock were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Shea and Mr. Bowen for the defendant, The plaintiffs, the well -known carriers, owned a " trolley," which, on the day in question, was loaded with an iron girder weighing 191 tons, and drawn by 20 horses. This apparatus was crossing from Albany-street, Regent's -park, to the Portland-road, on its way to Clapham, where the girder was to be used in some works on the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, when it sank about a foot in the roadway, and was damaged to the extent of about £22. The accident took place at a part of the Mary lebone road above the Underground Railway, where the road had been relaid about a fortnight. The defence was that the contractor in relaying the road had complied with all the requisites of the act of Parliament, and that the " trolley," with its load, being of enormous weight, the plaintiff's ser vants ought to have selected the opposite side of the enclosure, at the end of' Albany-street, which had been re-opened nine months, and was in a harder and firmer state, and more equal to such unusual traffic. A considerable amount of evidence was adduced on both sides. The Lord Chief Baron, in summing up, said he presumed that the defendant had an interest in the question far beyond the amount of £22, or he would hardly have gone to the expense he had done in support of his case. His lordship said he understood the meaning of the act of Parlia ment to be that when the company had constructed the railway and arched it over they should put the road in as good a condition as they found it, and that the public should not be abridged in any way whatever of their lawful use of the road. The principal question for the jury was whether " trolleys ' with these heavy weights formed a portion of the recognised traffic of London, and ought therefore to be provided for by those who had the charge of the different thoroughfares. After the jury had been in consultation a short time one of tneir body asked the learned judge whether he thought the act of Parliament meant that the first day the road was open it should be in as good a condition as the old road. The Lord Chief Baron said he believed that was the meaning of the act; and, in his opinion, if the proper means were adopted, a road might at once be made as hard as any thoroughfare over which the traffic of London had passed for twelve months. His lordship then suggested that if they were not agreed in opinion they had better retire and con sider their verdict. The Foreman—We are equally different in opinion. The Lord Chief Baron—Perhaps the parties may come to some arrangement. Mr. C. Pollock said that, on the part of the plaintiff, he was prepared to agree to the discharge of the jury. Mr. Serjeant Shee said he would prefer taking their verdict. The jury then retired, and after being locked up some time the Lord Chief Justice Baron sent for them and on their return the foreman said they had made no advance to an agreement, six being one way and six the other, and that there was no chance of their arriving ate verdict. His Lordship then discharged them. This was the last day of the sittings before the long vacation. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell.) IN THE GOODS or LETITIA WINYATES, DECEASED. Dr. Deane, Q.C., made an application to the Court to grant probate of several papers which had been found in the box of the deceased, who was a lady residing at Cheltenham. The lady died at Weston-super-Mare, where she had gone on a visit. She left a sum of £5OO between her four sisters, one of whom, a married lady, Mrs. Christmas, was appointed executrix, with Sir Edward C.Winyates, brother of the testatrix, the other three being spin sters. The whole sum was left to the last surviving sister. The question was whether the will was valid, a signature to the will having been torn off by the deceased, the will itself being contained on several sheets of paper, and duly executed as to the first, numbered respectively No. 1, No. 1 A, No. 2, No 2 A, No. 3. His Lordship said the matter was too important to be dealt with on motion. The will must be pro pounded in the usual way. IN THE GOODS OF SOPHIA BALLIS CAPEL (DR. GRIFFITHS JONES). In this case the notorious Dr. Griffiths Jones had propounded a will purporting to be the will of the above-named testatrix, but in the progress of the cause, in consequence of his admission that he had been guilty of perjury, and the verdict of the jury having been against him on the four issues, viz., undue influence, not duly executed, incapacity, and fraud, he is at.present undergoing a sentence for the criminal offence. He now entered a caveat against the Queen's proctor proceeding further, and prayed not to be dismissed from the cause. Dr. Spinks urged that the fact of Dr. Griffiths Jones having admitted the perjury, and the cause having terminated, he was not entitled further to obstruct the proceedings of the court. Sir C. Cresswell said that if Dr. Jones had pro ceeded at the time that his counsel, for shame of his client, had retired from the cause, it would be for consideration whether the court was prepared to grant the application. A length of time had elapsed, and no step had been taken. Dr. Jones must, therefore, be dismissed from the cause. IN THE GOODS OF THOMAS DONCE. In this case the testator, an illiterate person, put bis mark to a will which had been drawn up for him, but the will WCS drawn up in the name of John Donee instead of Thomas Douce, and the per son who drew up the instrument had since become deceased. It was contended by Dr. Swabey that the court had granted probate where a mark had been made and a wrong name was written opposite to it. Sir C. Cresswell said that the case was different, in that case the instrument purported to be the will of the person who put her mark to it, The mark was undoubtedly genuine. But this was the will of John Donee, and Thomas Dance. He would take time to look for a precedent for such a proceeding. JAGO V. JAGO AND GRAHAM. In this case' Sir F. Slade moved for a rule nisi for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence, and also upon the ground that one of the witnesses in the cause had declared dur ing its progress that she had been mistaken in the date she had assigned to the facts . she had sworn to in her evidence. His lordship, having read the affidavit, said there was a want of sufficient description, which would have to be amended. NORRIS V. NORRIS—JUDGMENT. Sir C. Cresswell said this was a suit for judicial separation by the wife, on the ground of the hus band's cruelty, and there were circumstances de posed to in the evidence which led him to express an opinion that he should have been relieved from the necessity of giving a decision. The parties had not thought proper to follow that advice, and it only remained for him to pronounce judgm en t . There were persons who at the time that court t th from was constituted were very strongly of opinion th time to of disclosures such as might ime to time take place could not. b u t be prejudicial to society. In same cases that was true, but he w as satisfied that in others the shame and disgrace that must attach itself to parties must produce an - influ ence upon all who wer e not blinded by vindictive feeling. Th e same object might well ha ve b een ac complished in that ease, but for some p ecun i ary mat t ers over which the Court had no control. The cas e having co me before the Court, t h e petitioner mus t have known that her social position must be seriously affected by it, and that she would be asked questions respecting her ante-nuptial relations with the respondent which it would be inconvenient to answer. The respondent, on the other hand, appeared for no intelligible purpose except to cause those public disclosures respecting his 'wife'• l s ante.nuptut frailty and her mother's conduct. The marriage was so lemnisedin July, 1 860, and final separation took place in September, 1861. A charge was made 'against the respondent of having perpetrated acts of cruelty upon his wife, under circumstances pe culiarly heinous. The learned judge recited the charges SP(Cified in the petition, which are unfit for publication, but they were of a nature in them selves happily rare and almost impossible to be cor roborated. The Court would require more cogent evidence than had been o ffered before it would pronounce. The petitioner had sworn that on the day of their separation, t he respondent h a d p o i nte d a pistol at her, and that, she having looked firmly at him, he lowered it and did not fire. It was re markable that this c ircumstance was not men tioned at the time. Mr. Parker, the highly re spectable solicitor who had gone down, and before whom the question of separation had been discussed, was also silent u pon this subject. It was difficult, therefore, to select any one of the acts of cruelty ' which had not been condoned, and the circum stance of their having lived in connubial intercourse after the most heinous of those imputed was totally inconsistent with the notion of their remaining un condoned. The Court would not, therefore, grant • i the decree on the evidence adduced. Those young people might have many days of happiness yet be fore them, but with the consequences, whatever they might be, the Court had nothing to do. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-July 15. GUILDHALL.—THE GREAT JEWEL ROBBERY AT CAMDEN TOWN.—Julius Friedland, who de scribed himself as a watchmaker, of 1, Kenilworth road, Bethnal-green, was charged before Alderman Challis with having unlawfully in his possession l 9 gold chains and two gold watch-cases, the pro perty of Mr. Geo. Seeker, of 119 , High- s t ree t, Cam den -town, from whose premises they were stolen, with a large quantity of valuable jewellery, on the 28th of May last. Mr. Lewis, jun., attended for the prosecution; and Mr. Beard conducted the 'defence. • Sergeant Evans, 22, of the G division of Metro politan police, and from information he received he went to the shop of Mr. Joseph, a refiner, of Alders gate -street, and there saw seven gold Albert chains, one gold key, five gold neckchains, and seven gold necklaces. He had a communication with Mr. Joseph, the result of which was that he afterwards, on seeing the prisoner in custody at the Old-street police-station, told him he had seen the property in question, and that it bad been identified as part of the proceeds of the robbery committed on Mr. Sacker's premises in Camden-town, in May last. He also told the prisoner he would be charged with having them in his possession, and asked him what account he gave of them. The prisoner said he bought them of a Man named Myers, but he did not know where he lived. Tie said he bought them at his own residence ; but on searching that place witness found no appearance of a jeweller's business being carried on there. At the police-station Mr. Joseph produced two gold watch-cases broken up, and said in the prisoner's presence and hearing that the prisoner asked him to buy them. Cross-examined—He knew the prisoner to be a dealer in jewellery, and the prisoner said he had been accustomed to meet Myers at sales. The pri soner made no reply to Mr. Joseph's statement. Mr. Edward Joseph, refiner and silversmith, said he carried on business at 81, Aldersgate-street. He knew the prisoner. He purchased of him seven Albert chains, one key, five neckchains, and four of the necklaces produced, on the 2d of July last. He paid him 325. per oz., which he considered was a fair value for such articles. He purchased to the amount of 30oz.13dwts., and the prisoner offered him more which he did not purchase. About 1 o'clock on Monday last the prisoner called and offered for sale the two broken-up gold watchcases produced, and in consequence of a communication he had re ceived from the police he detained the prisoner in conversation and sent for an officer. At the police station he delivered , the gold watch-cases to Ser geant Evans. He had made many purchases of the prisoner both before and after the 28th of May last. He had purchased diamonds of him to the value of about £3O within the last fortnight. Cross-examined—He knew the prisoner as a dealer in jewellery and diamonds. Mr. George Seeker, of 119, High-street, Camden Town, said he was a silversmith and jeweller. On the night of the 28th of May last his shop was broken open and property of the value of £BOO stolen. He could swear positively to two of the Albert chains having been taken from his premises on that occasion. Mr. James Smee, a wholesale jeweller, of 38, Wilmington-square, said he knew the whole of the property produced, except the two chains identified by the last witness. They were his own manufac ture, and sold by him to Mr. Seeker on the 27th of March last. The gold of all the articles produced was worth 31s. 6d. per ounce for melting purposes. He also made the gold swivel produced, which was found by Sergeant Evans at the prisoner's lodgings. He marked all his goods with his own initials. Mr. Lewis asked for a remand. Mr. Beard said there was no evidence to connect his client with the robbery, and he therefore asked the magistrate to deal with the case as one of un lawful possession. Alderman Challis said he could not take the same view of the matter as Mr. Beard did, and he there fore remanded the prisoner, for the purpose of en abling Sergeant Evans, who had displayed great sagacity in this case, to make further inquiries. Remanded accordingly. WESTMINSTER. ANOTHER UNFOUNDED CHARGE OF PICKING POCKETS AT THE INTER NATIONAL EXHIBITION.—Joseph Hodges and Wm. Searle, residing at Hatcham, Surrey, were charged before Mr. Arnold with attempting to pick the pockets of females at the International Exhibition on Monday afternoon. Mr. St. Aubyn appeared for the prisoners. The evidence of two police-constables of the X division, Nos. 121 and 117, was to the effect that the prisoners were seen , to go among a crowd of persons and to go up to some females, whose pockets it appeared to them they were attempting to pick. In answer to Mr. St. Aubyn, The officers stated that the prisoners were not known to them. Mr. St. Aubyn observed that there was no foun dation for the charge. The , prisoners had come to London the previous day with some friends for the purpose of seeing the Exhibition. Hodges had never been in London before. He was a servant to a gentleman of the name of Thornton, a barrister, residing at Hatcham, who gave him permission to go with some friends to visit the exhibition. His emyloyer would give him a high character for honesty and integrity, and he hoped that the ma gistrate would decide the case by at once discharg ing the prisoners, each of whom he would be able to show were incapable of the charge made against him. This was not the first case of a charge pre ferred against a person for attempting to pick pockets at the Exhibition for which there was no foundation. Mr. Thornton was examined on the part of Hodges. He stated that he was a very honest man, and was incapable of the act with which he was charged. He supported the statement of Mr. St. Aubyn. He further stated that he had known the other prisoner many years, who was a man equally honest. Other evidence was given, showing the highly respectable character of the prisoners. Mr. Arnold observed that this was one of those cases which had been recently before the court against persons charged with attempting to lick pockets at the Exhibition. In one of these cases he sent the accused for trial, as he did not wish to impute a doubt upon the evidence of the constable who had the charge. Another case had occurred before Mr. Dayman, which was remanded, and in this case the accused was discharged, the character given of him by gentlemen of the highest respectability being such that he came to the conclusion he was incapable of the charge imputed to him. It was becoming a most serious matter that persons visiting the Exhi bition, and who are not known to the police, should I be, through the imagination of a constable, charged with the offence that the prisoners had been accused of. The characters given of the pri soners showed to him that there could not be the slightest suspicion against them, and he was com pelled to say that in future he could not put the slightest confidence in the evidence of 121 X. The prisoners were discharged. CHARGE OF BIGAMY.—A MAN WITH THREE WrlvEs.—Eugene P. M'Carthy, a solicitor and public notary in Ireland, described as having no fixed residence, was charged with intermarrying with Catherine Craigh, otherwise Cree, his former wife, Mary Jane O'Brien, being still alive. Mr. Stephen O'Brien, brother of the second wife, I residing at Q ueenstown, pro d uce d papers prov i ng the second marriage in July, 1854, at Dublin, and he further stated that the prisoner subsequently married Mary Ann Bunning, at St. James's Church, Islington. The first marriage took place on the 29th of January, 1839. Dr. James O'Brien, brother of the prosecutor , corroborated the evidence. The prisoner was remanded for the attendance of the witnesses to attest the respective marriages. MARLBOROUGH-STREET—CHARGE OF HAR BOURING PROSTITUTES.—Mr. Mason, landlord of the White Bear, Piccadilly, was summoned for wil fully and knowingly harbouring prostitutes in his house. Mr. Atkinson appeared for the defendant. Inspector Draper, C division, proved that on t h e night of the 3d i ns t an t h e v i s i te d t h e d e f en d a ns house at various times from about one o'clock . unt il half-past two, an d f oun d a num b er o f prost i t utes and and men assembl e d b e f ore th e b ar .

The , barman proved th a t th e b ar was but not for the purpose of allowing per kept of ns ot ba character to congregate together, but so furnish refreshment to those who appli e d onl9 to for it. Mr. Knox said he believed that the nightly scenes in the Laymarket and vicinity were not to be paral leled in any other city in the world. The profligacy and abominations which were openly yisible Were to a great extent, fostered by brothel-keepers and owners of night refresnmeht-houses. He believed the inhabitants were sincerely desirous of putting' an end to this crying evil, and that the steps tile)! had taken were honestly meant to attain tha t ob j ect: He had given all the assistance in his p o wer t he convicted in two selected instances, and his eon victions had been fully confirmed by the superior judges. He was quite disposed to put the law 1 0 , force whenever a case was made out. In the present instance he must in fairness say that the evidence against the defendant did not go so far as in the cases against Belasco, or the other case which was, appealed against. While he was ready to affore., commiseration to the wretched street-walk er and night wanderer, who entered a public-house fOr purposes of shelter, he would not give a spark. .0, sympathy to those brothel-keepers, bullies, an d nigh...t house owners, who supplied refreshments to ento r tunates, and whose only object was to wring thel, immoral gains from them by all disreputa ble ee" illegal means. He considered that night refreshs merit houses were the centres of all the immoralitie which had made the Haymarket so notorious. li e was determined to put a stop to the system.es far as as he was able. The case of the defendant differed from other cases i n w hi c h h e had convicted. -",, there was no pers on s t a ti one d ou t s ide to give house was sa id t o b e res p ec t a bly conducted, and g i ve warm' ing of the approach of the police. The bar, hov" ever, was open to all corners, and it had been proved that prostitutes and men of bad character were there at unreasonable hours. He trusted that the defers' dant, Mr. Mason, would lend his assistance to the police in their endeavour to produce a better state of things in the neighbourhood by taking care that his bar should be better regulated for tha future. He would suspend the su mmons f or a fortnigh t, with the understanding that the police would keep a watch on the house to see if any alteration Wa s made. If the report of the police was favourab le, then his decision would be influenced aceordingli• MARYLEB ONE. —FEMALE SHOPLIFTERS• ROBBERY OF £2O WORTH OF SILK.--Sarah Dll O and Mary Brown, young women of very respect able exterior, both of whom had refused to stat e where they lived, were brought up by Sergea ll ; ,. White, 16 1), charged with having stolen 28t yard s of silk, the property of Messrs. Marshall and Se w grove, drapers, &c., Vine-street, Cavendish-squa re ; George Fenwick, assistant to prosecutors, depose(' that on the previous evening, about six o'clock, th e prisoners came to the end of the silk counter, whe n Dunn asked to look at some Magenta and bl oc& silk. Several pieces were placed before them for inspection ; and after they were examined by both the prisoners, who requested that they m ight b°, shown some of a smaller pattern, they were tolc!, what they wished for was not in stock. After that they said they should like to look at some W u gloves, and an officer who speedily entered the sbel ) took the prisoners into custody. Boyce Grant, another assistant of prosecuto r ! , stated that, being somewhat suspicious of the pri soners, he watched their movements, and saw Du eaa remove from the counter a piece of silk, which sh e , slipped under her cloak.. He then caused inforel°' tion of the robbery to be given to the police. Sergeant White said he kept an eye upon the P r . i ' Boners for about ten minutes, and was satisfied, fr°' „ ' the manner of Dunn, that she had something CO' 1 : cealed under the left side of the upper part of be i 'i dress. He laid hold of her, saying, " Hallo, Sa l what is it you've got under your cloak ?" to whic h she replied, " What do you mean, sir, by insult l me in this way ? lam a respectable woman.'' this time she raised her left atm, and he (witness) saw the piece of silk slide gently down from bel person on to the floor. He sent for a constable, a n d the prisoners were conveyed to the station-hou se ; When there, Dunn said to witness, in presence of the inspector, "If I'd given you £1 it would ba y ! squared it, but you've done the job too quick,.t you might have had somebody else, and I only wish we had pulled it off to rights. " The stolen silk was produced and identified. Tb° value of it was £2O. White said that Dunn, who was generally knoiq by the name of " Sal Clarke," had been convicte d more than once for felony. He was no t prepare:, with positive proof at present, but sh ou ld be able t o do so. .... ._.. The prisoners stand committed for trial, but Wer e , ordered to be brought up again to-morrow (this dei! for White to Show that D unn was k nown at th e House of Correction. SOUTHWARK.—THE ALLEGED MURDER THE DOVER-ROAD.—Catharine Nolan, a young v irt) i man 23 years of age, was placed at the bar for fin e examination, charged with causing the death U . James Munns, a young man with whom she CO _ habited, by stabbing him with a knife. The Po' soner, when first brought before the magistrate e ll Thursday last, was gaily and fashionably attired"' now she was dressed in deep mourning, and, whe n taking her seat in the dock, beemed deeply affected . Mr. Neale watched the case on behalf of the friends of the deceased, and Mr. W. Edwin agoin appeared for the prisoner. The court was densell crowded. The same witnesses were examined and the eag le evidence given as that which was tendered before the coroner, and which we reported a day or tyre ago, showing that a quarrel had taken place be, tween the prisoner and the deceased, 81 ' that the former, under considerable provocation, had snatched up a knife and stabbed the deceased: for which she immediately afterwards showed great distress of mind. Mr. Edwin said he should reserve the defence until before another tribunal ; and Mr. Combo committed her for trial. COUNTRY .MARILL.'i S. -4' - LEEDS—TUESDAY.

Yesterday again was a very good day at the build ing, the total numbers being 65,305, of which 58,840 were by payment, and 6,465 by season tickets. Be yond the mere crowd that at 3 o'clock filled nearly every court and gallery there is little to record of the visit except the capture of some pickpockets,one of whom made such resistance that he was obliged to be carried bodily down the nave by half-a-dozen constables. Owing to the very strict watch that is kept at all the entrances by the detectives, very few of these gentry have yet succeeded in getting into the building, though many have made the attempt and been stopped at the doors. Some 15 or 20 who since the shilling days commenced have managed to enter were recognised before they were five minutes in the interior, and were of course, at once escorted out with a caution not to try it again_ Of the articles lost and found daily in the Exhibition, and brought to the police office, nearly 95 per cent. are restored to their proper owners—the only things, in fact, not claimed being such worthless rubbish as old pockethandkerchiefs, copper brooches, and things of the same kind not worth coming for. The police, of course, have been the means by which the property has been restored, and it is not a little to the credit of a mixed body of men like the con stabulary to say that since the opening of the build ing not only have there been no complaints against them, but that, on the contrary, hundreds of the visitors have voluntarily come forward to express their thanks for the ready and most civil aid as to directing them to the various objects of interest, &c., which they have met with from the police on duty inside. On crowded days they are about the most willing and efficient guides to the different Courts to be found in the whole place. Since the ad ditional steam-power has been added to the Western Annexe almost the whole of the great mass of ma chinery can now be seen in motion at the same time. The effect when all are thus going together is almost marvellous, though it has also the disad vantage of attracting such dense crowds as to make the so called thoroughfare almost impassable during the greater part of the day—almost, indeed, up to 6 o'clock, when the machines cease work altogether.

The adjourned Wharncliffe meeting of this com pany was held yesterday at the Eustou Station, Mr. R. Moon in the chair. Mr. R. SAVILL having read the notice of adjourn ment, The CHAIRMAN said there now remained three bills on their list undisposed of. No. 7 would not be submitted, and No. 14 had been rejected by a committee of the House of Commons, so that N 0.13 was the only bill he had to submit. It was a bill for authorising extensions of the Oswestry, Ellesmere, and Whitchurch Railway, and for other purposes The powers for working the main line by the North-Western Company were extended to the extension line sanctioned by the bill. The capital <authorised for the extension line was £60,000. He concluded by moving a formal resolution ap proving the bill, which was agreed to unanimously, and this concluded the Wharncliffe meetings of the com p any for the present session of Parliament. ATLANTIC AND ST. LAWRENCE. A committee of bond and share holders in this company, consisting of Sir J. Paxton, Mr. T. S. Catbill, and Mr. C. a Hale, state in their report that the Grand Trunk of Canada Arrangements Act just passed provides for very considerable con cessions on the part of the preference and other bondholders ; and that it is perhaps too much to expect that they will agree to those concessions unless the lessors of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence and Detroit and Port Huron Railways (the only leased lines of the company) agree also to meet the necessities of the case. The rent payableunder lease to the Atlantic . and St. Lawrence is as follows: First mortgage bonds, £410,950, annual rent, £24,657 ; second mortgage bonds, £203,000, annual rent £12,180; third sterling bonds, £lOO,OOO, annual rent £6,000 ; fourth shares, £512,600, annual rent £30,756—t0tal bonds and shares, £1,226,550; total rent, £73,593. As it may be impossible to obtain a reduction of classes one and two, which have absolute mortgage rights of the most strin gent character, some additional burden must fall for the time being upon the shareholders whose claims rank after the bondholders. The com mittee recommend the following modification of the terms of the lease of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Railroad to the Grand Trunk Company; 1. That the interest on the £lOO,OOO sterling bonds be reduced to 5 per cent. for a period of 10 years, with any surplus profits earned on the Atlan tic and St. Lawrence Railroad up to 6 per cent. per annum. 2. That failing to obtain any concession from the statutory bondholdholders, the interest upon the Atlantic and St. Lawrence shares be reduced to a minimum of 4 per cent. per annum, for a period of 10 years, with any surplus profits earned on the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Railroad up to 6 per cent. per annum. 3. That any amount save from the proposed reduced rental, by the re demption of any portion of the mortgage bonds through the operation of the sinking funds now amounting to £70,000, or by any other means, shall be applied to increase the reduced rates up to the amount of 6 per cent., and also in the repayment of all arrears of interest or dividend calculated at the original rate of o per cent. 4. That the arrears of interest on the shares now due be capitalised by the issue of a like amount of stock bearing interest at the same rate as the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Ordinary stock, but ranking after such stock, such sum to be a further charge upon the Grand Trunk Railway Company. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The returns exhibit a very favourable state of the public health. The total number of deaths re turned for the last week was 1,065. If a rate of mortality equal to the average as deduced from the deaths in the 28th week of each of the years 1852 61 had prevailed last week the deaths would have been 1,155. But the actual number of deaths was less by 90 than that which is obtained by calcula tion. The births of last week exceeded the deaths in the same period by 642. Measles was less fatal than it had been in some previous weeks. It declined from about 60 to 38 last week. Of this latter number more than half occurred in the East districts. The chief propor tion of the deaths from measles was returned by Hoxton, Haggerstone, the sub-district of Hackney road, and that of St. Paul, St. George-in-the-East. Scarlatina was returned is 48 cases_ It carried off 4 children in Kensington -town sub-district, 3 in Somers -town, 4 in the two sub-districts of Wa terloo-road, and 4 in Lambeth Church second sub district. There were 51 deaths from typhus", and 30 from diarrhoea. The latter disease appears to be now en the increase. Three infants died of summer cholera. A man in Long-alley, Shoreditch, aged 99 years, died from want of nourishment and uncleanliness. Two children and an adult died by murder or manslaughter. Embolism (from the Greek for "a putting in" or " plugging") was returned as the cause of a death. This term appears in the returns for 'the first time. A long tubular clot of blood, detached from some vein, filled the right ventricle of the heart, stopped the circulation, and was fatal in six hours. Last week the births of 882 boys and 825 girls, in all 1.707 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1852-61 the average number (corrected) was 1,747. METROPOLITAN WATERS IN JUNE, 1862. The waters used in London, according to the analyses of Dr. Robert Dundas Thomson, F.R.S., exhibit less organic matter than in the previous month. The waters which yield the smallest amount of organic contamination, in the order of their purity, are the Grand Junction, the New River, and the Kent Company. For the sake of comparison the composition of a surface well at Camber well-green is given, which contains sewage. It should be closed and its place supplied by a fountain.

The mean of the highest readings of the water of the Thames wl,s 60.8 deg.; the mean of the lowest was 59 deg. The thermometer in the sun rose to 116 deg. on Tuesday. THE WESTERN FISHERIES.—Some large catches of mackerel have taken place during the past week on the Devonshire Coast. The pilchard fishery at Looe (Corn. wall), has commenced. Ono day last week the drift boats brought in from 500 to 4,000 fish, which sold at Is. 6d. per 100. At Mevagissey the drift boats are preparing their nets for the approaching pilchard season.
