LA W---'HIS DAY. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Oriinary and a Common Jury. HOLMAN V. HOLMAN AND NIBLZTT. This was a petition presmated by the husband for disso lution of his marriage on tie ground of adultery committed' by his wife with the co•roepondent. Holman was a ware houseman, and the co-res?ondent was a clerk to an iron monger, The marriage vas celebrated at St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, on the 3d of sptember, 1856, and the separa tion took place on the 26th of September, 1860. Damages were laid at £5OO. The marriage having been proved, George Couchman said he had known petitioner and his wife. The petitioner was a warehouseman with a salary of about £4OO or £5OO. lie had frequently visited them after marriage. Mr. Holman always appeared very affec tionate to his wife, but she was the reverse to him. She always opposed everything he proposed. He first became acquainted with them in 1861. In that year Mr. Holman went to Jersey ; they were then living at a house at the corner of Omar- road, Victoria Park. While petitioner was away he called there, and afterwards he saw respondent walking with a man near her own house. On one occasion while ho was waiting outside the door ho heard a man's voice in the passage asking whether he should go up stairs. On Mrs. Holtnan coming to the door she excused herself from asking witness in as her husband was out of town. Harriet Gore said—Before her marriage she was in the service of Mr. and Mrs. Holman. During Mr. Holman's absence in Jersey Mr. Niblett used to come to the house. He always remained till the next morning and slept in Mrs. Holman's bedroom. She afterwards saw Mrs. Hel -1 man living with Mr. Niblett, as his wife, at Tottenham. By the Judge—Niblett used to comet° the house before Holman went to Jersey, but it was always while petitioner was from home. Letters used to come to Mrs. Holman addressed to " Miss Webster." When Niblett first came he asked for "Miss Webster," and Mrs. Holman came to him. On that occasion he slept in her room all night, and on Mr. Holman returning from Leicester, where he had been, witness told him that Niblett had passed the night in Mrs. Holman's bedroom. Mr. Holman returned from Jersey in August, and he slept with Mrs. Holman until September. Previous to Mrs. Holman leaving her husband she heard him accuse her of sleeping with Nib lett. She said she liked him best. James Gray, clerk to Mr. Longford, served the citation on a person at Tottenham, who admitted she was Mrs. i Holman. The Judge said that was no proof of identity. However, that was a point entirely for the consideration of the Court, and he should require further evidence to satisfy him that the party had been served. The jury could now assess the damages the petitioner had sustained, and after the evidence that had been given he thought they could not have much doubt about that. The jury were of opinion that adultery had been com mitted with Niblett, and they assessed the damages at one farthing. The Judge said he should suspend the decree nisi until he required evidence was forthcoming. LORD MAYOR'S COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant and Jury.) ATTACHMENTS. Several important attachments were marked in the list for this morning, but the parties consented to verdicts. In the case of De Mattos v. Clarkson and Bonomo, a ver dict passed for £5OO. In the case of the same v. the same and same, a verdict passed for £246, In the case of Gordillo v. Gunning and Gulieria, a ver• diet passed for £1,960. In the case of Stores v. the same, and same, a verdict passed for £2,071. The list for to-day was very nearly cleared by consents and defaults. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. LOITERERS IN WATERLOO - PLACE.—Johu Jones and Henry Cross were charged before Mr. Knox with loitering in„Waterloo-place, for the purpose of committing a felony, and also with attempting to pick the pockets of two gentle men. The case was proved by Sergeant James Thompson, of the Detective force, who saw the prisoners in Waterloo place last night at half-past 12 loitering, and afterwards saw them each make an attempt on a gentleman's pocket. The prisoners said the officer had made a mistake. Mi. Knox said it 'was utterly impossiblp that the officer could have mad© a mistake as to both of them. Jones said he had a witness he could call to character. Mr. Kuox committed Cross for 3 months with hard labour, and remanded Jones. William Stuart, Martin Freeman, and William Outram, were also charged by Dawson, 301 A, with loitering, and having a silver watch believed to be stolen, in their posses- Oatram was committed for two months with hard labour, ,ho others for three months each. A7LAN7IC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. MEETING THIS DAT: A. general meeting of this Company was held this after noon in the London Tavern for the purpose of explaining to tho shareholders the means that are being adopted to "raise new capital to lay down a new cable between Valentia and Newfoundland. It was announced beforehand that the new capital proposed to be raised was £600,000 in 120,000 sharewtof £5 each, with a deposit of £1 each, and that the effort was backed by some of the most eminent bankers and capitalists in the City, among whom £70,545 had been subscrib-cl within the last few days. The notice calling the meeting having been read by . the secretary, The CHAIRMAN said he never met the shareholders with more hopeful feeling than the present. That was not occa sioned by any new support of the Government or extrane ous ail from other sources, but from the revival of the interesting subject in the mind of the gr eat body of the public. He in the first place must congratulate the shareholders on the fact that the whole of the exclusive privileges- the corn parry possessed still remained in tact. They still retained the exclusive right of land and cable at Newfoundland, and the line they had originally decided on for that tele graph had, after the greatest consideration, been de cided as being the best that could be adopted. A great improvement had also been made in laying the cable, and the Messrs. Glass and Elliott, in all, had laid no less than 40 telegraphs, not in one of which, he believed, had there been a failure. With respect to the doubt that existed as to the possibility of laying a ca bl e at any great depth, he thought the circumstance that occurred while the Toulon and Algiers was in progress of construe-• tion settled that question. On that occasion it became necessary to raise a portion of the cable which had been sunk to many thousand fathoms in order to cut out a link, that was successfully performed without the slightest injury taking place. The great difference , of opinion which existed in the minds of many with respect to insulation of the wires in gutta percha had also been satisfactorily settled by scientific research, and no danger now existed on that head. He thought, under all the circumstances, the directors would now be enabled to lay an efficient - cable . for a sum somewhat under the capital which it was now proposed to raise. The learned gentle man then at great length urged the old shareholders to. come forward, and actively assist the present movement. A series of resolutions were then unanimously agreed to oc...yin g o , d- tha prnpnsalq of the directors. The meeting then separated. MARKETS---TIIIS DAY. A SOUTHERN VIEW OF I N7ERVENTION: Gen. Pemberton, who was in the service of the Union when the war broke out, but who went into , the rebel army, and has superseded Gen. Van Dorn, recently made a speech, of Which the following is a copy. His reference to a comrade of high rank, for merly of New YOrk, as a street scavenger, is pungent; but his notice of England is still more so : "Soldiers,—ln assuming the command of so brave and intelligent an army as that to which President Davis has assigned me, I desire at once to win your confidence byfranklydeclaring that I am a Northern man by birth, but I have married, raised children, and own negroes in the South, and ? 'as such, shall never consent to see my daughters eating at the same table, or intermarrying with the black race, as the Northern teachers of equality would have them. I take . command of you as a soldier,who , will not f ear t o l ea d w h ere any b rave man can follow. lam no street scavenger—no General Lovell. (Cheers.) If any soldier in this command is aggrieved by any act of his superior officer, he must have no hesitation in applying to me per sonally for redress,. The doors of my headquarters shall never be closed against the poorest and humblest soldier in my command. Come to me if you suffer wrong, as fearlessly as you would charge the enemy's battery, and no orderly shall turn you off, or tell you, as has been too much the case in our army, that the general cannot see nor hear the com plaints of his soldiers. (Applause.) In regard to the question of interference by Europe we want no in terference in our private quarrel. (Great applause.) We must settle the question ourselves, or fail en tirely. The moment England interferes she will find us a united people, and she will-have to meet with the armies of the South as well as of the North. (Cheers, and cries of ' Yes, yes,' from every quarter. •No interference.' Let us settle it be tween us.') I am glad to see you thus united on this question ; and with a reliance on ourselves, and a firm trust in the God of Battles, in a few days your general will again fling your banners to the breeze and march forward to retrieve the recent disasters we have suffered in this department."

A D RIJN Ii.EN HE RBAL IST.—Raniol Davis, a well-drdssed man, about 35 years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with being (hunk, disorderly, and breaking a large pane of plate glass in the window of the Fountain public house, in Patterson-street, Stepney. Mr. David Prime, the landlord of the Fountain, said the prisoner cam© into his house last night and called for a glass of ale, with which he supplied him. In a few seconds afterwards some females came in and the prisoner insulted them, and acted in a very disorderly mAnfier. He then dis• covered that the prisoner was intoxicated, and ordered him to leave the house directly. The prisoner refused to do so, and he was obliged to put him out by force. The prisoner then turned round and wantonly smashed a large pane of embossed glass. Mr. Selfe—What is the value of it ? Mr. Prime—l really don't know. I should say, on a rough guess, 365. lam insured, and it will be no loss to me, but when a person wantonly breaks a pane of glass 1 think it right•to proseaute on behalf of the insurance com pany. • • The prisoner said he had a dior too much last night— ale and gin. The mixture got hold of him, and he did not know what he was about. He was very sorry, indeed— extremely sorry. He had a wife and family to maintain, and if the magistrate would releaSTl him he would never get drunk again—indeed, he would sign the temperance pledge that very day. Mr. Selfe—lf you do that I am 'afraid I shall see you again. (A. laugh.) The Prisoner —I'll pay Mr, Prime 2s. 6d. per week. Mr. Prime—l leave it in the magistrate's hands. The Prisoner —I'll give my name and address to Mr. Prime. Mr. Selfe—That is not worth much. The Prisoner—l am a herbalist, of No. 10, Jubilee-street, Stepney. Mr. Selfe —A man culling simples. If you had drank a decoction of herbs last night you would not have been here. I order you to pay 205., the value of the glass—l shall not order so much as 353. --and also to pay a fine of ss. to the Queen, and, in default, to be imprisoned for three weeks. Mr. Prime—When am I to have the money P Mr. Selfe—When you can get it. (Laughter.) Mr. Prime—lf he don't pay, shall I bring him up again ? (Loud laughter.) Mr. Selfe—No, Mr. Prime. If he don't pay in the course of the next three weeks you will not have the money at all, and the loss will fall on the insurance company. A PAINFUL SCENE IN C0U1221. It was stated in our impression of yesterday that at the Durham assizes on the previous day, a pitman named Cox, and his wife, were sentenced to death for the murder of an old woman at Broadreires, but the female convict hav ing, by a jury of her sex, been declared enctente, received the respite usual under such circumstances. The Newcastle Chronicle says :—" We have been informed of a shocking piece of bravado in which the male prisoner is said to have indulged while awaiting the finding of the verdict. He made a miserable attempt to disguise the anxiety he must have felt e as singing a portion of 'Wait for the reproved by one of the officials for the he replied i n a t one o f affected confidence lye a cha nce yet.' When the N u v unseemly sggemoan n l t . y theo exhibition,n carelessness, resultbeing by foreman communicated the result of their lengthened delibe ration, the male prisoner did not evince, either by change had made on his mind. He appeared t o h ave hi s f ee li ngs completely under control. Not so hi s w i fe. She had b een of position or outward emotion, the impression the words giving utterance, while his lordship was summing np, to low wailing mutterings. When the sentence was pronounced, she gave utterance to a loud hysterical cry, which echoed through the court, and was taken up by some of the female friends of the prisoners in the body of the court. The sounds broke in upon the painful feeling caused by the un natural stillness of the court. From the return of the ver dict till the sentence was pronounced the wretched woman continued moaning and rocking her body to and fro. When sentence was passed she cried out hysterically. The scene that ensued baffles description. Her husband raised his hand in an appealing manner, and then, turning round, faced the body of the Court, which appeared to be filled entirely with his fellow-countrymen. Directly he did so, a rush was made by the latter towards the dock, most pro • the c on d emne d f ar e we ll ; but ; fwhoarMtvbeerptuhreproesaeloof biddi ng bject was, the authorities evidently fear . ed a rescue was about to be attempted, and a cry of "Shut the doors 1" was accordingly raised,. while a strong body of officers formed round the dock. At the same moment the male prisoner was forced, although violently resisting, down the steps leading to the cells, and was then taken out of sight. As hb was taken down, h e began swearingin the most blasphemous manner. For some minutes all was con fusion in Court, everybody standing up to s ee the wretched woman, whose cries were heartrendi ng , an d the officers being employed in keeping the more d emons t ra tive Irish men present from approacliMg too nea r th e dock." MARK-LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale here to. day was again small. Good dry samples changed hands slowly at Monday's currency; otherwise the trade was dull, yet no change took place in prices. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. For all descriptions the trade was in a sluggish state, but with out leading to any quotable change in the rates current on Monday. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair average request, at full prices. Good and fine malting barley was firm as to value; but other kinds sold slowly on former terms. The demand for malt was in a sluggish state at late rates. The supply of oats was large, and the trade ruled heavy, at barely late quotations. Beans and peas moved off slowly, yet prices were sup ported. In flour about an average business was transacted at late currencies. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. !Salt. Oats. Flour.

W. MILLER, Deputy Cashier. Marshal Ornano, Governor of the Invalides, whose illness we recently announced, is now recovering. An explosion took place on Monday last in a workshop belonging to the powder-mill at Metz. The roof was blown off, but fortunately no one was injured. Two crocks containing 1,600 pieces of copper money and a few of silver, with the likeness of Henry IV. and Loais XIII, were found last week in a field at Vernantes (Maine-et-Loire). It supposed that they were hid there at the period of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. " The felicitous idea which the Emperor con ceived," says a Paris letter in the Independance, " of re naming the Boulevard which, although not yet officially designated, had been called by anticipation the Boulevard de la Reine• Hortense, by bestowing on it the application of Richard Lenoir, was so personal that even Baron Hauss mann was not aware of the modification which was about to be made until his Majesty had spoken." An Italian journal credits King Victor Emmanuel with a bon mot, uttered during the late ministerial crisis. His Majesty, it affirms, felt desirous of going out hunting one day, but was prevented by heavy rain. " Ah," said he, " I see that, whether I will or not, I must keep my Chamber." Despatches received at Marseilles, and published in the Paris papers, state that Naples is in a very disturbed state, owing to the increase of brigandage. In certain pro vinces, it is alleged, communications are intercepted, and travellers go armed and in companies. Rear-Admiral Lafoa-Ladebat is, it appears, fixed upon to assume the command of the naval station of the coast of Brazil and La Plata. He will, it is said, hoist his flag on board the frigate Astree, which is at this moment fitting out at Lorient, 100 100 100 100 100 Ills I 3.0.0 7.16.6 17s 40 8.12 4. 1 7.0 2.0.6 07, 4.3.0 12.3 ?..17.( 2.4.9 li 10.0.7 3.151 , 1 18.1-.9 28.9. COTTON GROWING IN 7U.RKEY. The following correspondence has been forwarded to us for publication by the Secretary of the Cotton Supply As sociation : " Manchester, Dec. 9, 1862. " Sir,—Herewith I have the pleakuro to hand you samples of cotton produced in the neighbourhood of Smyrna, from the seed supplied to me in the spring of this year by the As sociation. " The result fully bears out my assertions that the climate and soil of Asia Minor possess, in a remarkable degree, all the requirements necessary for the growth of the invaluable staple. Any large quantity of cotton equal to these samples cannot be expected this season, as the seed was widely spread about in small quantities,in order to test t he capabilities of the country, and as far as I can learn, the results have been in all the various districts equally satisfactory, especially as re gards the American description, which appears to be im proved by the change. The increase of pi eduction in one year from 6,000 to 40,000 or 50,090 bales, aad this the first year of demand, goes far to show the immense resources of this portion of Asiatic Turkey, and recent accounts from Smyrna make mention that in ono district alone thirty times the extent of land is being prepared for seed. " Unless very active measures are taken•to assist the native cultivators, the bulk of next year's supply, which is likely to be very considerable, will come forward again of the ordinary run of Smyrna cotton. "It is for the purpose of supplying new seed, extending the production, and otherwise attending to the cultivation, so as to ensure a good quality of cotton, that the Company (the Asia Minor Cotton Company) in which I am interested is now being organised ; and I think you can have no doubt that, if properly supported by the capitalists of Lan cashire, this undertaking would do very much towards re lieving the.cotton trade from the recurrence of such diffi culties as those from which we now suffer.--I am, sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) " GEO. Wm. BENIVELL. "G, It. Haywood, Esq., Secretary Cotton Supply Association, Newall's Buildings." " Cotton Supply Association Offices, No. 1, Newell's Buildings, Manchester, Dec. 10, 1862. " Sir,—Your favour of the 9th inst. has been duly sub mitted to the consideration of the Executive Committee of this Association. " I am desired to inform you that the samples you have submi ted, grown from American and Egyptian seed, are of a very superior description, especially the American, and in every respect suited to the wants of the trade. " The Committee consider your exertions have demon strated that Asia Minor is capable, with proper encourage. went, of rapidly supplying cotton of a very superior quality, and they highly approve of your efforts for the formation of a cotton company to achieve this result. They are prepared to render you every assistance and encouragement the asso ciation can afford. " It is desirable that the efforts of the Turkish Govern ment to stimulate the growth of cotton in Asia Minor should be actively followed up by such enterprises as that which you are setting on foot in order that the quality may be im proved, and that machinery of the best description for clean.• ing and packing may be introduced.—l am, sir, yours, &c., (Signed) " G. R. HAYWOOD, Secretary. " GI-. W. Benwell, Esq., Asia Minor Cotton Company." BARON BRAMTVELL UPON Ye GAROTTERS. (From Punch.) In the Court of Old Bailey t'was Bramwell that spoke, The Crown can't allow all these crowns to be broke, So let each skulking thief who funks justice and me, Just attend to the warning of brave Baron B. Just hand me my notes, and some ink for my pen, And gaoler look sharp and bring up all your men, Under four years of servitude none shall go free, For it's up with the dander of stout Baron B. There are isles beyond Portland, more depots than Cork, Where such convicts shall go if there's more of this work, There's a cat whose tail numbers three series of three, You'll cry ho I when you feel it and bless Baron B. Just hand, &c. Be off to the quarries, the forts, and the docks, Ere I spare a garroter, I'll sit in the stocks, Ay tremble, you scoundrels, you thought it a spree; But you did'nt expect then to face Baron B. Just hand, &c. There were ticket-of-leavers, with crowbars who'd tried, And brass knuckle-dusters to cause homicide, But they shook in their shoes as was pleasant to see, 'Neath the soul-stirring accents of stout Baron B. Just hand, &c. He turned as he spoke to the hands of the clock, And then, with a scowl on the thieves in the dock, "The time's getting on, but I've words two or three For you friends out of doors from your friend Baron B ," Just hand, &c. "If one man dogs another as homeward ho goes, And masters his purse by the dint of some blows, That man before long shall have audience of me, And I'll do my best for him," quoth stout Baron B. He's got at his notes and some ink in his pen, Mr. Jonas before bim has ranged all his men, "For life, ten years, four, none with less get free," More strength to your elbow say we, Baron B. WINTER IN CANADA.—Canada is invariably asso ciated in the mind of an Englishman with snow, and some thing like a shiver creeps over him when the name of the, country is mentioned. It was, therefore, with feelings of much surprise that we listened to the speculations of the people as to the coming winter. It was with no feelings of dread that they looked forward to the winter's shroud that was to wrap up all nature in the stillness of death. They longed for it as the husbandman for a plenteous harvest, or the Israelites for the wonted fall of manna. Thiskindly feeling towards the snow can be accounted for on various grounds. The sudden sinking of the temperature, along with the fall of snow, produces a wonderful exhilaration of spirits. The languor induced by the intense heat of summer is at once banished; and men and animals seem intoxicated with the new and bracing conditions of the atmosphere. The small Normandy horses prance with delight, and can hardly be reined in. The Newfoundland dogs roll in ecstacy in the snow, and everything that can move abroad seems as if awakening from a long sleep. The more remarkable effects are not seen, except when the temperature sinks considerably below zero. The sudden access of new life and spirits is usually accounted for by the dryness of the atmosphere. But it is doubted whether this is a satis factory explanation. It is more probably due to the fact, that with every inhalation of the air into the lungs, there is a greater proportion of oxygen, This may also account for the beneficial effects of the climate in certain diseased states of the lungs. It is not unusual for a catarrh to disappear, as if by magic, when the temperature suddenly drops below zero. A simi lar effect is witnessed in the churches on Sunday. There is no coughing to disturb the preacher—all tendency to bronchial irritation being subdued. The beneficial effect of the atmosphere of Canada in certain pulmonary ailments is now so well u nderstood that invalids are frequently sent to spend the winter there. We returned from Canada in the spring with a young naturalist of great promise who has prolonged his life for several years by spending his winters in Canada and his summers in Europe. His valuable col lections showed that science as well as his own health bene fited by this necessity,—ao4 THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK.

The further we get into Virginia the more am I struck by the utter desolation of the country and the evident poverty of its inhabitants. One must — if from " Yankee" land—see the degradation of the inhabitants to comprehend it. Used to smiling and productive farms, cultivated with all the aids and appliances of modern agriculture; to thriving vil lages, where the mechanic arts flourish and give wealth and ease to the citizens; to the welcome church-spires that stand on every hill and in each valley, the neatly painted school-houses at every " four corners," this utter want of all the evidences of civilisation is most striking and depressing. Here are no well-cultivated farms ; 500 acres barely support a small family of the better class of whites. No schoolhouses at the corners for education would elevate a class to whom the habits and customs of the aristocracy forbid the opportu nities for improvement; none of the mechanical or elegant arts for the households of the F.F.Vs. pur chase, with bigotted blindness, all their elevating necessaries and enjoyments from the despised "mudsills" of the North. Slave-breeding supplies (or has supplied) the purses of the upper classes, while their farms, de teriorating from year to year, have barely yielded them the commonest " hog and hominy " required for the home diet of the section. All books, all music, all wines, all luxuries of every sort, have been the product of a trade in souls—too frequently of a trade in the offspring of the trader. Now that all this is cut off; even the wealthier citizens, the aristocracy' of the land, must revert to the original " hog and hominy" of the country, and leave luxuries to some dim, elysian future. I have often wondered how the white trash live. They do not work unless the planting of a little corn, the grazing of a horse, or mule, and cow, and the raising of a few hogs and poultry—who run nearly wild —may be called work. Still they live, and they raise many tow-headed children, who perpe tuate the unwholesome stock. I have often, I say, wondered how they live. 1 have ascertained. These poor whites—ignored by the aristocracy and despised by the blacks—exist on whisky. In this wise—Scraping together a few dollars (8 or 10 was sufficient in time of peace) they purchase a barrel or two of cheap whisky. The negroes—al ways fond of liquor, and never honestly getting any, except during the holidays —steal from their masters corn, wheat, and chickens. These things they trade with the poor whites for drink. They will give two or three bushels of corn or wheat, a hog, half a dozen chickens, for a pint of poor liquor ; and in this way the degraded white men that infest this coup• try exist. It is a terrible style of life ; the natural result of slavery. With paid labour, and any sort of encou ragement to others than landed proprietors, these men might be small farmers, mechanics, labourers of all sorts; honest men. Then Virginians would be independent of other peoples for their luxuries and refinements. But slavery blights all the land, prevents competition in trade, mechanics, or agri culture, and puts a veto on improvement of every description. They cling to the patriarchal institution as they cling to all other exploded and useless ideas. And while slavery continues to blight the land, even the return of peace will fail to place Virginia where she might be. Once the proudest of States, ber clinging to a barbarous and wicked institution has brought her so low that nothing can now save her except an utter revolution in her economy, her in stitutions, her manners and customs. She needs the infusion of hardy Northern blood. She must be , " Yankeeised," and please God she will be. Is there not land enough lying idle here that shall give farms and pleasant homes to an immigration equal to the whole of this great army of the Potomac ? When the day comes that witnesses the end of slavery in Virginia, we shall see the opening of a new and vigorous life, for which her g reates se t o e p n e t,. th e na tural fertility of her soil, her varied surta.ce and facilities for improvement, give ample Till then she is indeed a desolate and ruined com monwealth. God grant we may live to rejoice over' her regeneration. ,n-i -,ely ►nd ver rue orns [Gth iced ;icaL our the ulna trig had- L nor a not that itb i' ,„ill fol' d a d de to so , ale ot • P i ' tb° )3r inS to 23. 6(1.1 stock stock stock 100 WO 100 100 100 100 stock stock 204 20 100 100 stock stock stock stock 50 100 5 20 28.2.81 11 i i
