'CORRESPONDENCE OF NAPOLEON L The tenth volume of the correspondence of Napo leon I. has just appeared. It comprises the period between the Ist of October, 1804, and the 28th of June, 1805, during which 894 letters were written on the most important affairs of State, from the navy, public works, finance, the public and private conduct of public functionaries of every grade, to the squabbles of the opera dancers in Paris. One of the first that caught my eye on opening the volume is the following " Chalon-sur-Saone, 17 Germinal, an XIII. (7 April, 1805). "M. Forfait,—l have received your letter. The Minister of Marine has informed me that, by your own admission, you have an interest in many public companies, both of contractors of public works as of constructors. I myself was much annoyed at seeing that you bad an interest in the business of a contractor of Antwerp. Such things are incom patible with the confidence which I give to persons whom I take into my service. Yet I will do you the justice to think that in no circumstance this has had any influence on your duties. If commer cial speculations appear more advantageous than your services in the Council of State or in the Marine Department, I have no objection to what may be advantageous to you ; but if you mean to continue serving either in the Council of State or in the navy, I require of you to give up every species of interested connection with contractors or constructors under any pretext whatever. " NAPOLEON." M. Forfait, I suppose, made his choice, though what it was we do not know. Before this letter was written he and his friends, no doubt, denounced the "calumniators" of public functionaries quite as vehemently as M. Billault did the other day in the Legislative Corps, to the applause of his hearers, who are always disposed to admire courage of every kind, and who know that he generally succeeds best in fiction. Had Napoleon I. lived to our day, he would see that M. Forfait andlis like were only in the infancy of their art. From Chambery he writes on the 17th of April, 1805, to Fouche, Minister of Police : " The Bulletin de l'Europe (a paper of the day as unfortunate as the Courrier du Limanche) is animated by a bad spirit. I am astonished, how ever, to find Esmenard there. Tell them, for their own good, that the days of the Quotidienne [the Union of the present day] have passed away. They dare not indulge their evil disposition. People see that they are kept within boands ; but the tip of ear is seen. For instance, had they nothing better to say, when speaking of the addresses, on the topographic office ? I mean that the newspaper serve the Government, and not oppose it. Esme nerd is a man of merit, but Michaud is, as ever, a rascal. " NAPOLEON." On the 28th of June, 1805, he writes from Plais ance a letter to his " cousin," Marshal Berthier, full of instructions on the preparations for the invasion of England. The following extract is curious : " Keep your eye on everything. Master all the details about provisions, eau-de-vie, shoes, and everything concerning the landing Have every thing in your portfolio in perfect order. Put on board a great quantity of artillery tools—you know there is always a deficiency in campaigning. I shall have to lay siege to Dover Castle, to Chatham, and perhaps Portsmouth. Talk it over with Mares col (General of Engineers). It is possible that I shall have troops enough to besiege the three places at the same time. We must have no ifs,' or buts,' or 'fors'—all the chances are calculated beforehand. Let tools of every kind be shipped, and take care that nothing be wanted. I don't know how many companies of miners I have ordered." Nelson seems to occupy his thoughts during a great part of this period. He writes to Vice- Admiral Decres the same day : "I am still without any positive information. It would appear that Nelson has been to the West Indies, but with ten ships only. Anyhow he could not have left but on the 25th Floreal (15th. of May). In that case Magon will have arrived before him. Nelson was first before Surinam, then at Trinidad, and then at Barbadoes. This leaves a chance for the arrival of the President frigate, which sailed on the let Prairial (20thMay)—that is, with hardly any days difference, and with the advantage of one ship against a squadron, following a shorter route, and losing no time in giving chase or seeking for in formation. Nelson will lose two days at Cape Verd. He will take many days in waiting for the frigates and vessels chasing on his way. When he learns that Villeneuve is not at the Windward Islands he will go on to Jamaica, and while he is occupied with taking in provisions and waiting for him that great blow can be struck. This is my calculation. Ship at Brest all the provisions you can. Can't we do anything with this ship of the line L'Ocean ? Don't forget the gunboats. Let all that are in the ports embark on the sth Thermidor (25th of July). Let good troops be embarked, and let everything, even to the pinnaces, be armed; 18 and 24. pounders are everywhere 18 and 24- pounders. Send the captain of a frigate to Havre and one to Dunkirk to hasten the departure from both. Order the Cannoniere frigate to be ready with its stores, and leave in 24 hours after the arrival of your courier. You know bow useful this frigate must be to us. Keep ready at Havre one or two good sailing brigs to carry orders. In moments so critical it is a great relief to get news every day. I suppose you have at Cherbourg a month's provisions at least for every one." To the same he again writes the same day, still about Nelson ; "I am in receipt of your courier and your letters from Guadaloupe. I beg of you to reassure me by your first courier, for I tremble lest the English get information of all by that way. . . Let us see what we have now against us. There are but 18 vessels before Brest, six at Rochefort, and eight at Ferrol. We don't know what is in the Mediter ranean, bat certainly there are not more than four ships. We want information about Nelson and Col lingwood. They were together on the 25th Floreal on the Spanish coast with 17 ships. They then parted company, and we really know nothing about them since. If they are together, they arrived on the 26th Prairial at Surinam, and on the Ist Mes sidor at Barbadoes. If they then appeared before Martinique they found our squadron composed of 14 French and six Spanish line-of -battle ships. Nelson will have done one of tw o things—tried to rally a squadron, as Villen e uve will have left, or , when Villeneuve knew of the arrival of Nelson in these waters, he will again have left. But it is hard to believe that an y newsthe without getting —nglish would send 17 men of war to the West Indies, while Cochrane Who has saiv Nelson, will with his 10 vessels, j oinin g and with the three tha t are at Jamaica, ill have 19, which will give him the superiority Over our squadron—it is, 1 say, hard to believe that W h en the enemy has thus the chance of finding himself mastar everywhere, he would blindly abandon India. There is another observation. If the two English squadrons together have been in America they will have passed Cape Verd , and will not arrive but on the sth Messidor—that is, 4 Q da y s' -voyage. If, on the other hand, Nelson was alone, he will have been so without hesitating and seeking any information. Then what will he do with his 10 ships ? He will loae eight or ten drys in join ing Cochrane ; during which Villeneuve will leave, and the enemy will be weakened at the moment of combat by being deprived of Nelson's and Cochrane's squadrons. It is certain that Nelson was short of provisions. He must ha ve landed on the coast of Africa to take in water. His crews were worn out with fatigue. He landed his sick at Gibraltar. Hi s crews I believe to be incomple te ; and he will be more prudent and reserved. My opinion is that Nelson has gone to America, and that Collingwood has gone to India. Anyhow we ought to have every day new data to go on." Amid all these plans he had time to write the following to M. Cambheeres, which is dated 11th .of April, 1805: My Cous in,-1 herewith send you a memorial which has been address e d to me by the leader of the opera dancers. It seems to me at the first gi 'ance i m proper to let Deport get up the ballets. has not yet a Th young man year of reputation. lArben one succeeds in so eminent a manner in a branch, it is a little too hasty to deprive people of it who have grown gray in it. With regard to the reforms to be made, make me out a detait-d report, and draw out for me a fresh code of regulations. " NAPOLEON." Again, to M. Champagny, Minister of the Interior, 16th December, 1804 " M. Champagny,—A number of poets and musi cians have distinguished themselves by the odes, pieces of music, and other productions which they made on the occasion of my coronation, We ought to make them presents in proportion to the goodness of their works. I wish you would collect all that has been done on that occasion. " NAPOLEON." A cousin of the celebrated General Roche petitions for the place of usher or valet de chambre. The petition is referred to the Emperor, who writes in the margin : " A little place is granted to him in the Excise. Forwarded to Francois, Counsellor of State." The Minister of Marine proposes to the Emperor to cancel the nomination of a young man in his Department, on the ground that his father was a man of bad character, and that one of his relations had been condemned to hard labour. Napoleon, much to his credit, writes (20th of February, 1805) in the margin : " Rejected. The young man must be kept in his employment. Faults are personal." He gives instructions (7th of June, 1805) to Prince Eugene Beauharnais how to regulate his conduct as Viceroy : " My Cousin,—ln confiding to you the govern ment of our kingdom of Italy, we have given you a proof of the esteem with which your conduct has inspired us. But, being still at a time of life when one is not acquainted with the perversity of the human heart, we cannot too strongly reco:n mend you to be circumspect and prudent. Our Italian subjects are naturally greater dissemblers than the citizens of France. You have but one method of preserving their esteem and forwarding their in terests ; it is not to accord your entire confidence to anybody, and not to tell anybody what you think of the Ministers and of the great officers who sur round you. When you shall have spoken candidly and un necessarily, remark to yourself that you have committed a fault, in order that you may not re peat it. Show for the natio n y ou govern an esteem which it is necessary to manifest the more you dis cover reasons for esteeming it less. A time will come when you will admit that there is a great dif ference between one people and another. The ob ject of your Government being the happiness of my Italian people, the sacrifice of your prejudice against such of their customs as displease you is the first of your duties. Make it your glory to be a Frenchman in every position except in that of Viceroy of Italy, but in that you must cause it to be forgotten, and you will not succeed except by persuading the Italians that you love them. They know that we love only those we esteem. Cultivate their languo ge—let them form your principal so ciety—distinguish them at your festivities in a marked manner—approve what they approve, and love what they love. Speak as little as possible. You are not sufficiently informed, and your educa tion has not been sufficiently perfect, to permit you to enter on a discussion without reflection. Learn to be silent, and be assured that silence often produces the same effect as science. Do not be ashamed to ask a question. Although a Viceroy, you are only 23 years of age, and, whatever flatterers may tell you, everybody knows secretly the extent of your acquirements, and they grant you more esteem through the hope of what you shall be than through the opinion of what you are Give no credit to spies. There is more harm than good in having them ; you have nothing to fear at Milan, and perhaps even in no country. Your military police, who narrow you as to your troops, are all you want . . . Your great interest is to treat the natives well, to know them all, to know their names and their families. Do not be very familiar with strangers. There is nothing to gain with them. An ambassador will not say any good of you, because his trade is to say all the bad he can. Foreign Ministers are, in all the force of the term, titled spies. There will be no harm in keeping them at a distance, for they are always more dis posed to esteem those they see little of than those who show them friendship and kindness. . . . Mejan (the Viceroy's secretary) will be of use to you if he does not seek to make money; and he will not do so if he knows you are watching his acts, and that a single fault of the kind would destroy him in my mind and in yours, He must be well paid, and have the hope of every sort of promotion ; but for that he must be on foot night and day. If he get the habit of working only at fixed hours, and amusing himself the remainder of the day, he will be of no use to you. Yon will have to repress in him, as in the other Frenchman, the disposition which leads them to despise the country, all the more that melancholy will be added to it ; for the Frenchman is good for nothing anywhere but in France." METROPOLITAN DRAINAGE. Yesterday, in pursuance of an invitation issued by the Metropolitan Board of Works (through Mr. H. Bazalgette, their engineer) to the members of both houses of Parliament, a large number of peers and commons assembled in the tea-room at half-past ten in the morning, the Board of Works being anxious to give the members of each house of the legislature an opportunity of viewing portions of the main drainage works during their progress, " as they are of an unprecedented character, and cannot be viewed after completion." About 120 gentle men accepted the invitation, and among the list of names we observed those of Lord Calthorpe, Lord Fertescue, Lord Hamilton, Lord Overstone, Lord Exmouth, Lord De Ros, Lord Belper, Lord Delamere, Lord Robert Montagu, the Duke of Devonshire, Earl of Caithness, Lord Rag lan, Lord Burghley, Lord John Manners, Lord Gage, Lord Talbot de Malahide, Lord Powis, Lord Proby, Lord Dartmouth, Lord Hotham, Lord George Lennox, the Earl of Essex, Lord Orkney, Lord Naas, Lord Longford, Lord Redesdale, Sir Robert Peel, Bart., M.P., Sir William Fraser, Col. Greville, Hon. Mr. Portman, Sir P Egerton, Colo nel Cartwright, Colonel Russell, Right Hon. Mowbray, Hon. Mr. Tollemache, Hon. P. Bouve rie, Hon. Locke King, Sir M. Cholmondeley, Sir Henry Bruce, the Hon. G. C. Bentinck, Hon. C; Calthorpe, Colonel Sykes, M.P., Alderman Sidney, Messrs. H, S. Adams, W. T. Mitford, T. Main waring, M. C. Onslow, H. W. Freeland, John White, F. Doulton, W. Tite, Thos. Miller, &c. At the hour named, the engineer of the Metro politan Board of Works, Mr. Bazalgette, proceeded briefly to describe the character of the works. He commenced by alluding to the former system of carrying the sewage of houses into cesspools. Sub sequently sewers were built, which were partially covered over, brick sewers of various sizes being left open, and this proved to be a very defective Isystem. In 1847, by an Act of Parliament passed I upon the subject, all persons were required to de stray their cesspools, and to divert their sewage 1 I ,e into the sewers. That Act had been in operation since 184'7, and h a d be e n carried out most vigor ously. Eight Is thousand e houses in one year had their cesspo o l.a st oyed ,and the sewage was turned into the Tham es. This polluted the river, and in dry seasons and in hot wea th er it b ecame ver y offensive. The la n d adjoiniag b level of the Thames in many place s was, at a low lev e l, as much as from four to six h igh water. Upon that basements, and the sewers were const ructed belo w the basement and - land houses u belowse s were the ult viith level the sewa ge entered the Thames at the ' of low water. The sewers would only e dischsz-6the sewage at low water, or under low water, an d the sewers were tide-locked for 18 hours out of the 24, so that the stagnant sewers being pent up the sewage evolved the most noxious gases. The tide in the river rising above them shut the flaps at their months, and hence the sewage was pent up. An other objecti on to th e then existing system of drainage Was its being discharged only at low water, and was th us dil ute d w ith the wa ter, and ' was carried up the river instead of down the river by the receding tide. New sewers could not be constructed for want of deeper outfalls. Various plans had been devised to remedy these evils, and a b . main feature in the plan now being executed was the interception and carrying off of the sewage from the existing sewers, as much as possible on the prin. ciple of gravitation. In the execution of such a plan one great difficulty to be overcome was the varying quantities of water to be carried off. The actual sewage amounted to about 12 millions of cubit feet per day of 24 hours ; but it varied in quantity, the flow being the greatest at midday and the least at midnight. The intercepting system on the north side was divided into the north high-level sewer flowing rapidly from Hampstead to Bow. The middle-level sewer commenced at Kensal-green, and flowed through Oxford-street and the City, and united with the high-level at the penstock chamber at Bow. From thence they proceeded to Abbey Mills, in the Marshes, where they would be joined by the low level sewer. The low-lever sewer was intended to pass as near as possible to the margin of the river from Chelsea to Abbey Mills, where a pump ing lift of 37 feet would be constructed ; from hence it was intended that the streams of the three sewers should flow by gravitation at high water at Bark ing Creek. Here an underground reservoir would be constructed 13 acres in extent, so that the sewage might then be discharged into the Thames during the two first hours of the ebb tide only. Thus the sewage would be driven by 100 times the volume of water with which it was now diluted, and would be conveyed by the time of low water following to the distance of 26 miles below London-bridge. The south side was similar to the north, but the levels being generally lower, more pumping was required. The sewage from the high-level sewer would flow by gravitation from Clapham and Norwood, under Deptford Creek, to the outfall in Erith Marshes. The low-level seNi age would pass from Putney, Lambeth, and Bermondsey to Deptford Creek, where it would be pumped at the higher level, and the united streams would flow in one channel 10 feet 6 inches in diameter to Crossness Point in Erith Marshes. There was a reservoir and pumping station, the contract for which would be let to-day (Friday) by the Board of Works. The high-level sewer on the north side of the Thames was completed already, and sewage from Hampstead through it was discharged into the River Lea through the " storm overflow." The middle-level sewer was about half completed, and the northern outfall was in the same state of forwardness. The low-level sewer was not yet commenced. On the south side the south outfall was completed. The south high level was drawing towards completion, and the south low-level was not yet commenced. The Deptford pumping-station was about three-fourths completed, and the engines were being now fixed. The esti mated cost of these works was £3,000,000, and the contracts let, or in hand, were about £2,000,000, of which £1,500,000 were complete. In these works they would consume 800,000 cubic yards of concrete, 4,000,000 cubic yards of earthwork, and 300,000,000 of bricks. The company proceeded from the House of Com mons by steamboat to Blackwell, where a special train was in waiting to receive them, and they in spected the junction of the high and middle level sewers at Bow, and inspected the various works there and at Barking, where a very elegant luncheon was provided at which some cumplimantary toasts were given. After this the steamer conveyed the company to Greenwich, who descended into the south outfall sewer, about 20 feet below the surface; and they walked through about a quarter of a mile of the sewer, which was beautifully lighted up, and an opportunity was afforded to every one to drink champagne in a sewer, for the only time, in all human probability, in their lives. The length of the works is seven miles. The work is a marvellous and astonishing one, and one which we are assured will endure for ever. The contractors are : For the north outfall sewer, Mr. Furness; for the south outfall sewer, Mr. Webster ; for the middle level, Messrs. Brassey ; for the pumping station Mr. Aird. Messrs. Cooper, Grant, and Lovick respectively are the assistant engineers for the north outfall, the south outfall, and the middle-level north. The rain did not cease for five minutes during the day, but this misery was greatly compensated by the princely hospitality which was shown to the guests, and the good humour and bonhomrnie which distinguished the company. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENIIRG, JULY 4, tBB2. convenience in a manner which would reflect credit on them. The designs sent into the committee were all by men of such undoubted eminence that it had been truly said the court could scarcely err by select ing any one of them. With regard to the question of cost he was enabled to state, on the authority of the Chamberlain, that the council need have no hesitation in adopting any design for a bridge, the , es timated cost of which was not more than L 300,000, and that they might even go further to the extent of an additional sum of £50,000 or £70,000. Mr. Hartridge caused some laughter by asking if the council, supposing they adopted any one of the five designs, would be bound to build a bridge ? Mr. Valiance replied he had thought the court had decided that question 18 months ago, and that he would be a bold man who would say the corpo ' ration should continue to patch up the present ricketty structure. The court having agreed to the report, Mr. Deputy Harrison moved that they proceed by show of hands to reduce the five designs to two, and then elect one of the two for adoption. Upon that a long discussion ensued on the com parative merits of the five designs, having regard to the questions of headway and navigable waterway, cost, materials of construction, the gradients of the proposed bridge and its approaches, breadth of road, the span and character of arches, foundations, and time and mode of construction. The design of Mr. Brunlees' was advocated for adoption chiefly by Mr. Alderman Rose and Mr. Hadley ; that of Mr. Cubitt by Mr. Kearns, Mr. Deputy Elliott, and Mr. Alderman James Lawrence ; and that of Mr. Page by Mr. Rowe principally. Mr. Alderman Philips said the five designs were all so admirable that the Court might safely put the names of the engineers into a hat and draw one at hap-hazard, and adopt his plan. Mr. Deputy Fry, Mr. Lawley, Mr. Bengough, Mr. H. Lowman Taylor, Mr. Barnes, Mr. R. N. Philipps, and Mr. Waterlow also took part in the discussion. Each of the designs was then submitted alpha betically to a show of hands until the number was reduced to two. The result was first to eliminate that of Mr. Mylne, then that of Mr. Fowler, and thirdly, that of Mr_ Page, leaving those of Mr. Bruniees and Mr. Cubitt from which to choose. Eventually the Court, on a show of hands, adopted that of Mr. Cubitt by a large majority. A division was called for but foregone, the ma jority being so decisive. Then, on the motion of Mr. John Young, jun., it was referred back to the bridge-house commit tee to take all the necessary steps with the least possible delay for erecting the proposed bridge after Mr. Cubitt's design. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-July 3. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) BOOTH V. BOOTH. Mr. Sergeant Pigott and Mr. Pritchett, for the petitioner; Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., for the respon dent. In 1855 the petitioner, a medical practitioner at Swinton, near Manchester, married the respondent, who had been living in his service as a domestic for about a year. There was much disparity of age be tween the parties, Mr. Booth being about 65 and his wife about 37. There had been no issue. In February, 1860, the petitioner's suspicions were excited, and he thought it necessary to dismiss a medical student who was lodging in his house. The cohabitation then ceased ; but the parties continued to take their meals together. A servant, named Jane Eyles, deposed that after this her mistress carried on a clandestine correspondence with some person unknown ; that in December, 1860, she was two or three times away from home at night; and that in the September following she gave secret birth to a child. The witness said that she had not previously noticed any change in the respondent's figure, she was in the habit of wearing so large a crinoline. On the discovery of the child's body the police and a surgeon named Rowe were called in I and the respondent confessed that it was not her husband's. She was then taken into custody. The jury found a verdict for the petitioner. Decree nisi. PALIN v. PALIN AND DODDS. In this case the petitioner did not appear, but on the application of Dr. Spinks a verdict was taken for the co-reepondeat. CLARK T. CLARE AND INGLE. Mr. Ser.feant Pigott and Dr. Spinks appeared for the petitioner, Mr. Wills for the co-respondent. The petitioner, a seafaring man, of Knottingley, in Yorkshire, claimed the sum of £l,OOO as da mages against Henry Ingle, a small farmer in that neighbourhood, for debauching his wife. The mar riage took place in 1852, and the co-habitation lasted till July, 1861, when the petitioner, taking a policeman with him, entered his room by means of a ladder, and found the respondents in bed to gether. He had previously forbidden the co-re spondent to come near his house on pain of death, and he could scarcely be restrained from throwing him into the street without his clothes. At the intercession of the constable, however, he was in duced to let both respondents dress and depart. Since then they had lived together as man and wife. Mr. Wills addressed the court in mitigation of damages. The parties were all in very humble cir cumstances, and the wages of the petitioner were only about 15s. a week. Verdict for the petitioner, with £lOO damages. Decree nisi with costs. GREY V. GREY, SMITH, AND WINTERINGHAM. Dr, Phillimore, Q.C., and Mr. Searle, for the petitioner ; Mt'. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. Aspi nall, for the respondent ; Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. Tayler for the co-respondent Smith ; Mr. Prentice for the co-respondent Winteringham. The petitioner, Mr. F. Sheriff Grey, was a ship ping-broker in King William -street, City, and his wife, Louisa Sexton, a music mistress. They first met at Mr. Grey's lodgings, where Miss Sexton used to give lessons to a young lady that also lived there. He fell in love with her, and ultimately he married her in May, 1859. The match, which was not approved of by his friends, resulted in the birth of a child. After cohabiting in various places, the parties at last removed to Forest hill Villas, Sydenham ; but Mr. Grey's busi ness necessarily took him a great deal from home. He had in fact an office in Liverpool as well as in London. Towards the end of 1860 Mrs. Grey imagined that it was necessary fo r h er h ea lth that she should have horse exercise; and she ob tained from her husband leave to take lessons from a riding master, at Sydenham, named Smith. The petition alleged that Smith very soon abused his position to seduce the respondent, and therefore he demanded of him the sum of £l,OOO by way of damages. This affair having been discovered, the petitioner broke up his establishment, and sent his wife away, allowing her only to take her linen; and it was alleged that she had formed a second liason with the co-respondent Winteringham, a civil engineer, in St. Clement 's-inn. Of him the petitioner claimed £5OO. The defence was a denial of the charges, coupled with recriminatory pleas of cruelty, desertion, and neglect, conducing to adul tery. The charge against Smith was sought to be esta blished by a servant named Maria Fisher, who said that he used to visit at the house, and go into Mrs. Grey's room. On one occasion while Mr. Grey was in Liverpool he did so while Mrs. Grey was lying down on the bed. Witness afterwards knocked at the door. Smith came and op ened it. His c l othes were in disorder, and he saidrtsh.at Greyhe hadcam came home, his braces. The respondents u sed to kiss at p ar t in g. On another occasion, when m witness said to her, " You have been undressed." She replied that she had been into some house in London with Mr. Smith for two hours, and that there was a nice fire in the room. Cross-examined by Mr. fluddl " eston—Heard Mrs. Grey one night call " Murder. Got up and ran down stairs. Mr. Grey h a d been boxing her ears, and there were marks of his fingers on her face. Mr. Grey turned them both out of the house into the garden. Mrs. Grey had only on her dressing gown and slippers. Mr. Grey said that respondent " Might go to the she belonged to." Told him that he was worse than a beast to treat her so. Tbey went to the station to see if there was a train to take them to town to the respondent's mamma, but it was too late. One night when the respondent came home late he refused to let t histohtheews took wit ness, bf o nees her in. She then took the garden broom, broke the back window, got in that way , a n d ran u who was i n bed with the baby. She ff snatchedth o e r witness. watch and pu iNi ther .w chain Greyatc h. pulled an d T Then e n threwdown themew tore th into eo e l bonnet. Then she ran into her own room, and witness followed her. Found her partly under the bed and her master kneeling on her. Pushed him off her, and then pushed him out of the room. He was very violent, and the respondent was c rying. At last he fetched a policeman ; but when the con stable came he would not give his wife in charge. He said that she was drunk, but witness did not think she was, and the policeman said she was not. Had seen them fighting on other occasions. By Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Smith had never 1 taken improper liberties with witness. Had never paid he had. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Do you really mean to say you never accused him of doing so? Witness (with great hesitation)—No. You did accuse him ?—Yes. Then it was a falsehood you told just now ?—No, it was not. The Judge—What did he do to you ? Witness—He has kissed me. Ile never did that except in Mn.o Grey's presence. Cannot tell how often he did it. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Did he ever take any further liberties with you ?—No. Have you not sat on his lap ?—Yes, but that was also in Mrs. Grey's presence. (A laugh.) Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Wa s it ? Perhaps you sat on one knee and Mrs. Grey on the other ? Witness—Yes. (Laughter.) I went with Mrs. Grey to Smith's about the riding lessons. She in troduced me to him a s a young l a d y f r i en d o f hers. I have ridden out with them myself. The case against Mr. Winteringham was proved by a laundress at St. Clement's-inn, where the re spondents cohabited for some months. The learned counsel having addressed the court, and C. Cresswell having summed up, The jury found all the issues for the husband, with a farthing damages against each co-respon dent. THE MURDER AT FORDLVGB_RIDGE. FORDINBRIDGE, THURSDAY. The examination of John Jacob Gilbert, for the murder of Mary Ann Susan Hall, the only daughter of Mr. Hall, of Midgham Farm, whilst on her way to church on the morning of Sunday week, took place o-day. Considerable excitement prevailed, and on being brought up from the police-station, where he has been confined since Monday last, the prisoner was followed by a large crowd of persons, and the fact of his having contemplated, if not attempted suicide, in his cell a few days since, has given additional interest to the ease. The magistrates on the bench were the Rev. W. J. Yonge (chairman), Rev. R. F. Purvis, J. Coven try, Esq., and J. Churchill, Esq. The prisoner looked extremely pale and dejected. Helen Smith deposed—l am dairymaid at Mr. Hall's, at Midgham Farm. On Sunday morning, the 22d of June, Miss Hall left home about 10 for the purpose of going to church at Fordingbridge. I went to Fordingbridge about 12. The cows were then quietly in the meadow, and I did not see any parasol flying about. I left the farm to go to church in the afternoon, but did not go in, as it was late. I met the prisoner in the lane, not a great distance from the church. It was about a quarter before three. He was going towards Holmes's-lane, where the body was found. I did not speak to him, nor he to me. I knew him very well by sight. I met the prisoner about half-way between Mr. Cottman's hoase and John Gilbert's, about a quarter of a mile from where the body was found. Robert Haskell—l am a labourer, and live at Mudsmoru. On Sunday morning, the 22d of June, I had occasion to go to Harbridge to see my daugh ter. I went along the footpath leading to Midg ham about half-past ten. I passed over the stiles on each side of Jack Holmes's-lane, where the body was found. The dew was beaten off the grass, as if there had been a "scamper" there. I saw foot marks, and a place where somebody had fallen back into the hedge. I thought some children had been there to play. The mark in the hedge was a little way up the dirty lane. I saw that something had passed or been dragged up the water. Thorns, nettles, brambles, and all sorts of bushes are grow ing in the hedge. I saw a treading of feet from the stile up to the water. I went a step or two, but could not go further for the water. There was no body about. I sat on the stile for a minute or a minute and a half. Afterwards, on looking towards Bickton, I saw the prisoner coming up under the hedge. He was coming towards me. I then got over the rail into another piece of pasture on my way home. The prisoner was on the other side of the lane. As I passed I got nearly opposite to him, He was 20 yards off. I watched him. He wore a brown smock frock, and was wet up to his knees. He had his boots on, but they were unlaced. I did not speak to him. I saw the cows in an " uproar," which made me look over the hedge. They were in the same field as the prisoner. When I left, the prisoner was leaning against an ash tree. The cows were on the Fordingbridge side of the dirty lane, but as close as they could get to it. By the prisoner—You had a brown slop on. Prisoner—No, I hadn't ; I had on the same clothes as I have now. (The prisoner had pre viously denied being near the spot before the after noon). John Gosney—l live at Fordingbridge, and am shepherd to Mr. Thompson. I know the prisoner, and where ho lives. On Sunday morning, the 22d June, about a quarter past 11, I had occasion to go 1 to my sheep in Amberlands, near where the body was found. I saw the prisoner Gilbert there, in the ditch. He was leaning his side against the bank picking something off his clothes. When he saw me he got out of the ditch and walked off. I was 62 paces from him when I first saw him, and 18 when he got out. He picked up something from the opposite side of the ditch, but I could not see what it was. He walked away quite smart, so that I could not speak to him, which I should otherwise have done. Caroline Philpctt—l live in Frog-lane, and the prisoner lodges in my house. He is my husband's half-brother. He got up between 7 and 8 on Sun day morning, the 22d June. He took breakfast with us. He left the house at half-past nine, and I didn't see him again before dinner time, after the church people had come out. He wore the waist coat and coat which he has on now, but not the trousers. He wore the trousers produced by the police. He also wore a white shirt—the one pro duced. It is an old shirt which he kept in case he came home wet through. I last washed it about a month before the murder. I don't think that it wanted mending when I put it by. He put on the shirt tie Tuesday before the mur der. The sleeves were not broken as they are now when he put it on (the sleeves were broken and muddy). He changed his shirt on the Sunday, after dinner, just before church time. He put on another white shirt. I did not see whether the sleeves of the other shirt were broken when he went out in the morning. The sleeves were tucked in a roll when I brought the shirt down for the police. The policeman said the sleeves were wet, and that they smelt of mud. The prisoner had a check shirt, which was upstairs on a nail. He had not the check shirt on on Sunday morning the 22d June. It was just before church-time-3 o'clock— when he left the house in the afternoon. I went for a walk with my little girl, and met prisoner coming up the field with a parasol in his hand. He was coming towards home. I said, " George, where on earth has't found that ?" He replied," I found it down in Harding's flying about and the cows mak ing a great noise." He asked whether Charles, my husband, was at home, and I said " Yes." He said he wanted him to come down, as there was some thing down there. I asked him what, and he said, " A woman in the ditch, smothered in mad." I told him that he had better go to the police if she was dead. Nothing more passed, and he went off to the sergeant of police. Just at dinner time I heard my little boy Charles say in the prisoner's presence that he had been seeing Uncle George hanging his stock ing out on the bush. The boy put his hand on the prisoner's trousers and said, George, your trousers are wet." The prisoner made no reply. I saw the stockings hanging on the hedge. They were then dry. He had clean pair upstairs, which I put for him on Saturday night. He put them on after din ner, but I didn't see him. 1 was in such a trembling after I heard of his being charged that I did not look at his things. I did not look at his boots when he came home to dinner. He has got a short brown slop, but did not wear it that I know on the Sunday. The slop was produced and the witness Gosney was recalled, and stated that it appeared to be the same which the prisoner had on when he saw him. Haskell, however, was of a different opinion. It was a darker slop that the prisoner wore, but then it might have been wet. Fanny Tanner, next door neighbour to the last witness, corroborated portions of her evidence. She was at home from 9 o'clock in the morning until 1, and went into the last witness's house three or four times, but did not see the prisoner. S a w him there at a quarter to 4. Asked him how he came with the parasol which he had in his hand. He replied that he had picked it up in Mr. Pinhorn's " Hardin ' flying about, and the cows a fter it. He add e d that in the watery lane he found a woman smothered in water and mud, dead. He said he lifted her up, and that she was dead and stiff. He said there were some books alongside of her. He said they looked to be church-service books. John Turner—l live at Fordingbridge, and know the prisoner, who lives with C. Philpott, near the church. I have known him two years One Sunday about five weeks ao,'l wa s at Midgham-moor with g him. It was ab o ut 10 o'clock, just as the people were going to church. We saw Miss Hall c om i ng along the path, towards Fordingbridge church. She went out of the foot p ath to p ass us. After passing us s h e went in to the footpath agai n . Th e prisoner said, Anybody could easily hav e a ll s h e has, and no one would know anything about it." He said "There she goes." I said, " Y es. Miss Hall is it , not ?" , He said, " Yes." N o thi ng else was said that morning. About a fortnight afterwards, on a Sunday, the prisoner c ame to my house, an d asked me if I was going for a walk. It was about nine o'clock in the morning. I went with him roun d the allotment gardens. Whil s t th ere the Pri" soner proposed to go to Midgbarn-moor. We went, and got there just as the bells struck out for church. As we were going through Mr. Thompson's field, called Loper sey, we met Miss Hall. She was coming towards Fordingbridge church. We sat on Mr. Thompson's stile, in the same field. Miss'Hall passed us before that. Prisoner said, " Miss Hall is a nice young girl, isn't she ?' That was after she had passed. On the Saturday night before the murder he asked me if I was going for a walk the next morning. I asked him where he was going. He said " Some where for a stroll," but did not say where. I asked him where he called somewhere, and he replied " Somewhere for a walk, the same as usual." That is all I know. From what he said, I thought he meant to abuse Miss Hall. By the Prisoner—l did not ask you, the night before the murder, to go with me on the Sunday morning. You did not say to me, " Where to ?" Prisoner—He has given evidence that I do not know anything at all about. Thomas Turner—l live at Fordingbridge, and know the prisoner. On Sunday, the 22d of June, I went to the spot where the body was found, about half-past 4. Several other persons arrived at the same time. The prisoner got there about half an hour afterwards. After we had carried the eorpse to Midgham I saw two or three spots of blood on the prisoner's waistcoat. It was quite fresh. I have seen the waistcoat since. The marks have been scraped or rubbed out_ The marks were on the collar. Martha Turner, wife of the last witness, said — On Sunday afternoon, the 22d of June, the pri soner went by me about half-past four. He told me that he had found a woman dead. He was going towards the spot. 1 asked him where he had found her, and he said down in the moors. I asked him who it was, and he said he didn't know. I asked him if she was a poor girl, and he said, No, she is a respectable girl, with gold ear rings in her ears." I asked him how he came to find her, and he said he was going through the field, and looked over into Harding's, and saw something flying about. He went and picked it up, and it was a parasol. He went away toward the hedge and looked into the ditch, where he saw a woman dead. He went to her and lifted up ber head, and she was very stiff_ I asked him how he thought she came so, and he said, " She looked stifled in the mud." I asked him whether she was on her face or her back, and he said, "On her back." I said, " If she had been stifled she mast be on her face." He said, " No, she was on her back, with a dark ring round her neck." There was a spot of blood on his waistcoat about the size of a threepenny piece. It looked quite fresh. The prisoner said that he didn't know who the woman was. A waist coat has been shown to me by Sergeant Ede. Some thing appears to have been done to it. The blood is not so bright as when I saw it before. He said that she had a book in her right hand, on her breast, and another book by the side of her. Mr. Raike, surgeon, repeated the evidence which he gave before the coroner at the inquest on Mon day week. I made a post merlon examination of the body of Miss Hall on the 23d of June. I am of opinion that death resulted from violence, partly from strangulation and partly from immersion. There was a considerable quantity of muddy water in the stomach, of the same description as that in the ditch. There was extraordinary lividity and congestion of the features, and the eyes were blood shot, protruding and prominent, to an extent I never saw before, even in an ordinary case of hang ing or drowning. There were also external marks of compression on the throat, and blood effused in ternally on each side of the windpipe, corres ponding with the windpipe. Such compression might be produced by the hand. Below these marks there was a long narrow mark, caused I believe by the bonnet strings, but they had not been twisted into a ligature. I do not think that the body was dead when first immersed. If it had been there would have been more water in the lungs and less in the stomach. The ordinary marks of violation were absent, but the evidence on this point is entirely negative. They might or might not have been attempt. After a most careful exa mination of the body I could find no spot from which blood had exuded. Blood might have flowed from the nostrils. The ears, mouth, and nose were full of thin mud when I first saw the body. Mr. Superintendent Stannard—l am stationed at Ringwood. On Sunday, the 22d June, from infor mation which I received, I came to Fordingbridge. The prisoner Gilbert was in custody, I went to him, and told him he was charged with the murder of Miss Hall, and being a very serious charge, I told him to undress for me to examine his clothes. He undressed. I cautioned him to be careful how he answered me. I asked him at what time he changed his shirt and stockings, and he replied, "This morning, before breakfast." The lower parts of his trousers were very wet up to above the knees, with stinking mud inside the legs at the bottoms. I said, " Your trousers are very wet," but he said he did not know they were. I asked him where he picked up the parasol, and he replied, " About 18 yards from the body. I could see the body when I picked it up." Police -constable Rodaway brought the shirt and stockings while I was in the room with the pri soner. I held the shirt up and asked him if it was his. He said, " No, that's not my shirt ; I have only this one (meaning the one he had taken off at the station) and a blue striped one, which I pulled off this morning." Both sleeves of the shirt were wet up to the elbows and smelt very strongly of mud. The stockings were also wet. On Monday, the 23d, I went to Mr. Thompson's field, with Gosney and others. Gosney pointed out a spot in the ditch where he saw the prisoner. There were three lots of grass pulled up, which smelt of mud, and ap peared as though they had been used for wiping clothes. The mud smelt the same as that in the golly and on the prisoner's clothes. On Sunday l ast, h I was conveying the prisoner from Ring wood 29odttohFordingbridge. I did not speak to him. He asked me if he could see his brother at Fording bridge. I told him that I did not know yet, and asked him what he wanted him for. He said, "To prove what time I was at home on Sunday." I told him that his brother and sister would both be be fore the magistrates, and would prove that he was home at half-past 12. He said that was right. I said, "It is such a serious charge you want a wit ness to prove where you were on Sunday morning." He was silent then for some time. He then said, " The only man that I saw when I was down that way on Sunday morning was Gosney. When he came into the field I was down under the hedge." By the Bench—The parasol was perfectly clean when I saw it. It is impossible to have seen the body at the spot where he said he picked up the parasol. The body could only have been seen in another field. I examined the prisoner's boots on Sunday evening, June 22, and found mud and duck weed from stagnant water between the lace holes and the tongues. The tongues were sewn to the sides of the boots. The evidence having been concluded, the priso ner was charged in the usual form, after which The chairman asked him if he wished to say any thing in answer to the charge. Prisoner—l have nothingaotu signallto say, Magistrates' clerk—Will you Prisoner—No, sir. Chairman—Then you stand committed for trial at the next assizes for the murder of Mary Ann Susan Hall. The prisoner was at once removed. The proceed ings lasted about six hours. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A MAN AND HIS WIFE AT WALLASEY. On Tuesday night, between 11 and 12 o'clock, a most distressing calamity happened at Wallasey, resulting in the untimely deaths of a young man named John Howard and his wife, Anna Howard. It appears that during the evening the deceased man was at a beer house at New Brighton, kept by a Mr. Copeland, and that about 11 o'clock his wife went to the house in question, and after some persuasion prevailed upon her husband to go home. A boy about twelve years of age, the brother of Howard, was in company with the latter and his wife as they were on their way home. A few mi nutes before they arrived near to a field in which is a d ee p pit called the " Captain's Pitt," some words took place between the husband and wife the hus , band being heard to say, " Well, you had a share of it ;" when the wife repli e d , "No, I had not." Th e husband rejoined," Well, I will see about that when we get home." Some further altercation having taken place between the unfortunate couPl. e ' husband said he was determined to drown hi m s elf, and immediately after making ran g 4 11l away from his wife and brother, exclaitne a imme _ drown myself in the Captain's Pit."

Yesterday, at a special meeting of the Common Council, held at Guildhall, the Lord Mayor in the chair, the subject of the proposed new bridge across the Thames at Blackfriars underwent a long discussion in a very full court. The Bridge House Estate Committee, to whom the question had been twice referred for considera tion, eventually determined to recommend that the bridge to be erected by the corporation should be one of five arches, springing from an abutment in a line with the present wharf lines on each side of the river. Having regard to the length of time that would necessarily be occupied in the construction of a stone bridge, as compared with one of iron arches, and to the very great difference between the cost of a stone bridge and that of an iron one, the commit tee were of opinion that it would not be desirable to adopt a design for a stone bridge. Of 16 designs submitted to them by engineers of eminence they selected five, each of five arches, as best calculated to meet the requirements of the public ; namely— stating them alphabetically, as the committee had done—the design, sent in by Mr, James Brunlees, for abridge of five elliptical arches, at the estimated cost of £230,573, including the cost of a temporary bridge ; the design, sent in by Mr. Joseph Cubitt, for a bridge of five segmental arches, at the estimated cost of £265,000 ; the design, sent in by Mr. John Fowler, for a bridge of five elliptical arches, at the estimated cost of £380,000 ; the design, sent in by Mr. Robert William Mylne, for a bridge of five seg mental arches, at the estimated cost of £308,000, ex clusive of a temporary bridge and the reconstruction of the outlet of the Fleet sewer ; the design, sent in by Mr. Thomas Page, for a bridge of five segmental arches, at the estimated cost of £260,000, including allowance for contingencies, and for removing the present bridge. These designs the committee pre sented yesterday, with an accompanying report, to the Common Council, for them to choose one for adoption. Pictorial representations of the five selected designs were exhibited in the Council Chamber, and sketches of the unaccepted ones were shown in the adjoining committee-rooms. Mr. Brunlees' design had a centre arch of 209 feet 4 inches span, side arches of 196 feet 6 inches, and abutment arches of 163 feet 4 inches. The head way of the centre arch above Trinity high-water was 26 feet, the distance from abutment to abut ment 995 feet, and the available water-way for navigation 929 feet. The average gradient of the bridge was 1 in 50, with 70 feet breadth of way. In Mr. Cubitt's design the span of the centre arch was 189 feet, of the side arches 176 feet, and of the abutment arches 164 feet. The headway of the centre arch was 27 feet above high water, the dis tance from abutment to abutment 963 feet, and the available waterway 869 feet. The breadth was 75 feet, and the steepest inclination of the bridge was lin 40. Mr. Fowler's centre arch was 184 feet in span, two side arches 173 feet each, and two land arches 162 feet. The headway of the centre arch above high water mark was 22 feet, the distance from abutment to abutment 925 feet, and the available waterway 854 feet. The gradient of the bridge was 1 in 50, and the breadth 80 feet. , The centre arch of Mr. Mylne was 216 feet span, the side arches 199 feet, and the two land arches 1 156 feet ; the headway of the centre arch being 26 feet, the distance between the abutments 987 feet, and the available waterway 926 feet. The span of Mr. Page's centre arch was 200 feet, of the adjoin ing arches 188 feet, and of the abutment arches 164 feet. The headway of the centre arch above high water mark was 23 feet, the distance between the abutments being 994 feet, and the available water way 903 feet. The breadth of the bridge was not less than 75 feet, and the gradient was 1 in 50 on the Middlesex, and 1 in 40 on the Surrey side. Mr. W.
