The following is an extract of a letter dated Port Royal, South Carolina, Oct. 14:— « On Sunday the negro church at Hilton Head was dedicated to Divine service. General Hunter authorised the construction of the building, and be fore he left the work was nearly finished. The situation of the church is good ; the appearance is neat, though plain as a Quaker meeting-house, and in all respects the building meets the requirements of the case. Three hundred persons may be com fortably seated. The pastor is a black man from Savannah, named Abram Murchison, who has been in due form ordained a Baptist minister by the army chaplains, and installed in office. Abram, though able to read and write, is not polished in his man - ners ; but what he lacks in culture is more than compensated in earnest eloquence, a vigorous and clear expression of his views, deep piety, and a powerful influence over the coloured people. The dedication exercises were interesting in themselves, being conducted by Rev. H. N. Hudson, chaplain of the New York Volunteer Engineer Regiment, an elocutionist of celebrity. General Mitchell was present, with the members of his staff, and by in vitation addressed the audience. His remarks were pointed, impressive, and instructive. They were listened to attentively, and endorsed with nods of The Flying Fish, 6, screw, Commander W. H. Anderson, came into Portsmouth harbour yesterday from Spithead. The engines broke down, when she Was assisted by the tender Bee, and hauled along side the dockyard. She will be taken into dock to he examined, and see what damage was done to her keel on going on shore on Newton-bank, in the Nee dles passage, as noticed in The Sun of Friday. The Hero, 89, screw line-of-battle ship, Capt. A. Ryder, sailed at daylight yesterday for Sheer. ness to be dismantled and pay off, His Danish Majesty's screw corvette Dagmar, 16, Capt. Seidelin, sailed from Spithead yesterday morning at daylight for Gibrallar. Captain Seidelin and the Vice-Admiral dined with Admiral Sir H. Bruce on Thursday evening at the Admiral's resi dence. The ;crew steam corvette Barossa, 21, Capt. W. M. Dowell, which put back to Plymouth Sound leaky on Sunday night, has since been in No. 1 dock in the Devonport yard, with Et view to the dis covery of the leak. She was removed on Thursday evening, without any positive conclusion on the subject being arrived at. The defect is supposed to arise from the condition of her Kingston valves, which have, of course, been thoroughly overhauled. The corvette left Plymouth on Friday, Oct. 31, for the East Indies and China, where she will be sta tioned. Under steam and canvas an offing of about 150 miles was made, when the engines were stopped, the fires let down, and she proceeded under eanvas only. Some time after, to the surprise of all on board, the pump well being sounded as a part of the routine duty, as much as 4ft. 6in. of water were found in the hold. All hands were set to work immediately with the ordinary pumps, but, not withstanding their most strenuous exertions, the leakage increased five inches in one hour. Mean time every effort was used by the engineers to get up the fires below. This was a work of no little diffi culty. The water was as high as the powder maga zine, and when the ship rolled it washed up to the men's knees. Providentially the weather was not stormy. Notwithstanding the wetness of the fuel, fire was at length got up under the boilers, and, the aid of the donkey-engines being thus 'btained, the leakage diminished rapidly, and the engines being kept going prevented its recurrence. There were only 10 inches below when she anchored in Plymouth Sound, and—what was very remarkable —no leakage whatever occurred while she lay there. On Monday afternoon Captain Astley Key, C. 8., who is at the head of the steam reserve LA Devonport, went with the engineer officers from lieyham-yard to the Barossa,and she steamed out side the breakwater; still there was no renewal of the leakage. The engines were then stopped, the ship was put under canvass only, and allowed to roll about in the trough of the sea, when she began to leak immediately, and the next morning was placed in dock. On Thursday the screw steam-frigate - Phalle, 51, Captain Fortescue, made a trial of her engines outside Plymouth breakwater, and returned to the Sound. The paddlewheel steam-frigate Leopard, 18, Cap tain Leckie, was placed in No. 1 dock in Devonport dockyard yesterday (Friday), for the examination of her bottom and valves. She will probably vacate it again to-day (Saturday). The screw steam-sloop Rosario, 11, Commander S. Graham, sailed from Plymouth for Jamaica yes terday (Friday), taking with her disposable men for ships on the West India station. The Lily, 4, screw steam despatch vessel, 200- horse power, and the Jaseur, 5, screw steam gun vessel, 80-horse power, both in the first division of the Sheerness steam-reserve, have been officially in spected by Capt.-Superintendent C. Wise and the dockyard officials, and are declared to be quite ready in every respect for commission. The Lily is to take the place of the Vigilant, disabled by being on shore or. the Gunfleet Sands ; and the officers of the Vigi lant are to be turned over to that vessel. approbation from young and old. I do not think that a portion of a paper could be better filled than with this frank and unmistakeable expression of Gen. Mitchell's views on the slavery question. He said : " I have been requested to say a few words to you by your teacher, who is a good man. Any good naan I like, regardless of colour. I respect him as much whether he is black or white. If he be a bad man I shall treat him as such whether he is white or black. Most of you know I have talked to all my soldiers since I came here, and now I am talking to you who are another set of soldiers, who have not yet arms in their hands, but who are under my protection and guidance, and in whom I take deep interest. With your past life I fully sympathise. I know and understand it all. I was reared in the midst of slavery, born in Kentucky, and know all about it. While there are many things connected with it which are pleasant, to which you will testify, there are vast many other things which are not pleasant, and I think God intends that all men shall be free, be cause he in tends that all men shall serve Him with their whole heart. But in any condition we can all love and serve God. That privilege cannot be taken ' away. I care not how savage and wicked the master may be, he cannot prevent you from praying in the midst of the night, and God hears and answers the prayer of all, slave or free. But it seems to me that there is a new time coming for you coloured people; a better day is dawning for you oppressed and down trodden blacks. I hope that the door is being opened for your deliverance. And now, how deeply you should ponder these words ! If now you are unwil ling to help yourselves nobody will be willing to help you. You must trust yourselves to the guidance of those who have had better opportunities and have I acquired superior - wisdom, if you would be carried through this crisis successfully. And I believe the good God will bless your efforts, and lift you up to a higher level than you have yet occupied, so that you and your children may become educated and (industrious citizens. You must organise yourselves into families. Husbands must love their wives and children, clinging to them and turning from all others, and feeling that their highest object in life, next to serving the good God, is to do all they can for their families, working for them con- Yesterday afternoon, as the Thistle gunboat was returning from the coal ship in the harbour at Sheerness to her duties in connection with the dock yard, from some cause or other not yet ascertained, the man-hole covering of the boiler was blown off, causing great consternation among the persons hav ing charge of the engines. Signals of distress were immediately made, which, being observed by the other ships in the harbour, together with the large volumes of supposed smoke which was seen escap ing, led to the supposition that the Thistle was on fire, and telegraphs to that effect were made for the fire engines and other help. Capt. Wise, Superin tendent of the dockyard, who happened to be on board the Lily, 4, screw gunvessel, put off at once with other officers for the distressed gunboat, and, on arriving, discovered that the accident was of minor importance, and that fortunately no injury had been sustained by any person on board. A court-martial, of which Capt. T. P. Thompson, of the Cumberland, 70, guardship of the Chatham steam reserve in the Medway, was the president, assembled on Thursday on board the Formidable, 84, flagship of Vice-Admiral W. J. H. Johnstone, Commander-in-Chief at the Nore, for the trial of Mr. Thos. Booth, acting first-class assistant-eugi beer, serving on board the Vigilant, 4, 200 horse Power, for having, on• the 20th October last, ab sented himself without leave from the naval bar racks in Sheerness dockyard, and not returning un til the 29th October.

We will give him his family, his wife, his children— give him the earnings of the sweat of his brow, and as a man we will give him what the Lord ordained hire to have. I shall watch everything closely re specting this experiment. It is something to be permanent —more than for a day, more than for a year. Upon you depends whether this mighty re• suit shall be worked out, and the day of jubilee come to God's ransomed people. of our officers and men, which, however unpleasant I to contemplate and believe, is nevertheless so true,', and so directly the result of our military blunder- i ing, that it is useless to shut our eyes against the facts. . . . There is not an ardent soul in this land that more earnestly desires to see the end of this war than does the great majority of the officers and men of this army. So strong has this feeling become that hundreds and thousands have become intensely disgusted with the service, and are anxi ous to leave it. Resignations of the very best field and line officers are going on by the score, and are only prevented from taking effect by the exercise of the military prerogative of disapproval. The men are discontented, and many of the brave rank and file almost prefer the dishonour attached to deser tion to being dragged through another long period of inaction. . . . These are plain words, but they are undeniably true. There is one thing cer tain, the disruption of this nation is so near being accomplished, that if the people of the North knew the whole truth they would be struck dumb." Both of these gentlemen call for instant action to remedy this deplorable state of affairs which they describe, but do not Gen. INlTlellan and Gen. Hal leek know, and do not their own statements con firm the fact, that the army is not in a position to advance ? And is not one soldier of the South, fighting without the hope of reward for the inde pendence of his native land, led by officers who have both courage and genius, worth a dozen of Irish and German mercenaries, fighting for a cause of which they do not understand the merits, and which, it they do understand, they very often disapprove. Perhaps, however, the inaction of the army is more nearly at au end than they suppose, and 111‘Clellan or his successor may have to accept battle instead of offering it. Unpopular as General M'Clellan is with the Re publicans and abolitionists, General Buell, the next most important Federal officer in command of an army in the field, is equally, if not more so. He is accused of having stated at the commencement of his military career that he did not know who was right or who was wrong in the struggle—the North or the South, and to have acted throughout the war on the lazy principle of poop-curantism. He is declared to be always behind time, to have lost the battle of Pittsburg Landing by his indifferentism, and to have wilfully, if not treasonably, allowed General Bragg to retire from Perrysville, and out of Kentucky into Tennessee, without serious loss, though his army in overwhelming force, stood idly by, within a few miles, and might have captured the Confederate army. Some weeks ago the Pre sident, moved by the urgent complaints of the Abolitionists, superseded General Buell in his com mand ; but only to reinstate him by telegraphic dispatch a few days afterwards. He also is a West Pointer, and the inuendo is daily made that the West Pointers on both sides love each other too well to fight very desperately, and that some fine morning before anyone suspects the manoeuvre they will unite their armies, and make an end of the Re public. But, as they are all mediocrities, with one or two exceptions on the Southern side, this solu tion of the national difficuties is not so likely as a European intervention, the fear of which is daily losing its terrors, The opposition to the much dreaded-conscription takes in some parts of the country the mild form of postponement, the wealthy citizens hoping that it may in many counties and cities, if not in whole States, be avoided by doubled and redoubled offers of bounty-money to Irishmen and Germans, and to newly arrived emigrants. In Pennsylvania it has taken a shape much more formidable ; no less than 5,000 of the colliers and miners of Schuylkill county having turned out, armed with pikes, pistols, and other weapons, to resist its operation, declaring they will not returr to their work until an assurance is given them from the Go vernor of the State that they shall be exempted. And yet the " buncombe" orators and "extermina tors" in Ne iv England and elsewhere continue to talk and write of the patriotic and united North ; and to prophesy as confidently as ever that by the Ist of January the rebellion will be crushed and the Union restored! And the worst of it is the persons who talk in this manner believe what they say. They know so little of their own people, and so much less of the South, and they so enormously overestimate the strength of their " ism," the re sources at the command of the Government, and the patriotic purpose of the North, that, taking their hopes for facts, and their passion for sober reason, they are always ready to fix an early date for the conquest of the Southern people, and to imagine that noting in the world can withstand their army, which they know to be mercenary, and their gene rals, whom they assert to be incompetent. But the deep distrust of the merchants and men of business, and of people who neither talk nor write, is shown in Wall -street. Gold, the delicate and unerring barometer of the hopes and fears of commerce, tells a tale of alarm, if not of despon dency. The silly expedient of the Board of Brokers in striking the prices of gold from the official lists, in compliance with a suggestion of Mr. Chase, sent down the price of the commodity five per cent. at one y, but only t o a ll ow it t o mount same day, after a series of violent bouup fluctuations,nd on againW ed n e the s to d a nearly its former position. o To day it stood at the close of business at 321 per cent. premium ; and it is more than probable that, high as the range had been, gold is not yet within 10 or 15 per cent. of the extreme price which it is destined to attain, under the combined operation of Mr. Lincoln's proclamation and Mr. Chase's finance, to say nothing of the quarrels of the gene rals, the demoralisation of the army, and the general bewilderment of the public. If anything ought to inspire hope amid the dark counsels of the nation at thi s ti me , it i s t h e unmistakeable evidence afforded by the local elec tions that the extreme war party is in disfavour, and that a strong conservative reaction has set in against abolitionism, federalism, centralism, in vasion of State rights, and the arbitrary and alto gether unconstitutional action of the President and his Cabinet. Even Connecticut has elected the Democratic Ticket, and there is a strong probability that Massachusetts itself—the focus of all the ill will excited against the Union in the minds of the Southern people, will do likewise, and consign Governor Andrew and the fanatics who support him to harmlessness and private life. In New York the prospects of the success of Mr. Horatio Seymour and his ticket grow brighter every day, and the malice and misrepresentation of the opposing pirty increase in a corresponding ratio. Next to Mr. Vallandigham, defeated in ohio, the two most pro minent candidates for election to Congress in the Democratic interest are Mr. Fernando Wood and his brother, Mr. Benjamin Wood, of this city, both of whose supporters declare that there is not the shadow of a chance of their failure. These and the elections for Governor will take place on the 4th of November, and already excite an amount of interest and discussion in every part of the country suffi cient to prove the immense importance everywhere attached to them. If successful here, the Demo cratic party cannot fail to be strong in the next Congress—strong enough to show the President that his policy on the slavery question and his attempt to excite a servile war have not been in unison with the sentiment of the people, and that it has alarmed the country even more than the non success of his armies and the incompetency of his generals.

(Before the Judge Ordinary.) GLENNIE V. GLENNIE AND BOWLES. The following evidence was given this morning on behalf of the respondents, who, in addition to not guilty, had pleaded connivance and condona tion. Miss Margaret Jane Macrae, e/amined by Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., for the respondent—l am sister of Mrs. Glennie. I knew Mr. Bowles before my sister was married. I first became acquainted with the intimacy that had existed between my sister and her husband on the morning of the wedding. That was the first time I ever saw Mr. Glen nie. My sister had been liting at Mrs. Dibbs'a in Walton Villas, Brompton. I was living with my mother at Fulham. My brother lived at Bow. My sister left home tour or five years ago. She came from Scotland and lived in different places in Lntirlon. I saw very little of her. I had seen Mr. Giennie's portrait and heard his name mentioned tour or five years ago. She had a gold watch and chain, but I am not aware that Mr. Glennie knew who had given them to her. A week after the marriage I saw Mr. Bowles at Somerset-house I afterwards told Mr, Glennie that it was nor proper 'o have him coming to the house, for I thought it very imprudent in Mr. Giennie to have him coming there Considering how intimate my sister had been with him before her marriage. • I received the letter produced from Mr. Glennie. [lt was dated Oct. 14, 1863, and the writer-said he regarrkd Mr. RoNies as a mu n triend, for he had b..en very kind 1. Bella: It te. feared to some false repolq;which hid been circu lated as he feared for the purpose of creating a cold ness between him end his wife, but he observed that their trust in each other and in God was too strong to be affected by such calumnies.] I re member my sister going one night to th • theatre. She went home egain after that, I believe. I remember her sleeping with me twice at Ful ham. One time was on the 4th of January, and the other was two days before the final separation. I remember that the former of these occasions was the 4th of January, because I was in the house alone, my mother and younger sister being at Bow. My sister came at half past eleven at night, and went away early in the morning—at nine or per haps before. When she came a lady and gentle man were with her, but I did not see who they were. She slept with me, and went away before I was up. I saw Mr. Glennie on the Wednesday or Thursday following. He did not mention to me anything about his wife sleeping out on the pre vious Saturday (the 4th). Mr. Glennie left my sister at Penge on a Wednesday. I had been there on the day previous, I believe they slept together on that night, but I had gone home to Fulham. By the Queen's Advocate (for the co-respondent) —I made the acquaintance of Mr. Bowles a few months before the marriage. I saw him with her two or three times before the wedding. Cross-examined by Mr. Karsloke, Q.C. (for the petitioner)—l am eighteen years of age. My sister formerly lived with an aunt in Scotland, but I was with my mother in London. When she came to London I believe she at first stayed at my mother's; but I hardly recollect, for at that time I was a girl at school. Then she left home, and I heard that Mr. Glennie was keeping her away somewhere. I had spoken to my sister about Mr. Bowles before I received the leiter from Mr. Glennie which has been read. When we went to the theatre it was with Mr. Bowles. We had met him in Piccadilly. We went to see the " Colleen Bawn." After the per formance was over I went home in a cab to Fulham. My sister left before me. Mr. Bowles went out of the theatre with her, and I saw no more of her that night. Oa the 4th of January I had gone to bed at ten, and I was called up at half-past eleven to let my sister in. Re-examined—lt was after the letter was written that I spoke to Mr. Glennie about Mr. Bowles com ing to the house. Mr. Glennie never mentioned my sister's going to the theatre to me. He never said anything about her staying out, which I used to think very strange. Miss Eliza Hutchinson—l live at 58, Grove place, Brompton. I know Mrs. Glennie. I recol lect going with her one night to Fulha 1. on the 4th of January. A gentleman who was at that time keeping company with me was with us. I saw her going into the house ; and then the gen tleman and I walked home again. I left my apart ments on th , . 7th January. At that time I was living in Oxtord-street. Cross-examined—The genii , titan - :nd I have nos apartments in the same hour We :ire still keep ing company. I had known Mrs. Glennie ..b-iii two years. I have never been to to r mother's ex cept on that one occasion. We had met to r in Piccadilly at half-past nine. I don't hnow Mr. Bowles ; hut I have seen him. He was pointed out to me by a fellow lodger who had heard something about him. By the Judge—We got back from Fulham at a little before 12. Mrs. Macrae lived a short distance from the bridge. Mr. George Godward—l have served my time to an architect and surveyor. I recollect meeting Mrs. Glennie, while I was walking with Miss Hutchin son, in Piccadilly. It was, I believe, on a Monday or Tuesday night, a fortnight after Christmas, but I cannot precisely say which. We went with her to No. 11, Moorpark-terrace, Fulham. I have known Mrs. Glennie about two years. When we got to Fulham Mrs. Glennie went indoors, and the last witness and I went away. I don't know who opened the door, but I believe it was her sister. - Cross-examined--I have not commenced business very long,. I. was first asked to come here in June last. Jane Poly, of 23, Bedfordbury, charwoman and flower -seller—l know Mrs. Dibbs. I was in the habit of going there to sell flowers to Mrs. Glennie. I have also worked there. I knew Mr. Glennie and Mr. Bowles. One afternoon I saw Mrs. Glen nie in bed with Mr. Bowles at Mrs. Dibbs's. It was just before she got married. She went by the name of Bella Howard. Mr. Glennie came the same afternoon. She was still in bed with Mr. Bowles when he came. Mrs. Glennie had rung the bell, and I had answered it. Mrs. Glennie asked me to bring a little warm milk for Mr. Bowles, as he was very unwell. (A laugh.) As I was leaving the room to fetch the milk Mr. Glennie came in ; and Mrs. Glennie jumped out of bed exclaiming, "Ohmy !" (Laughter.) Mr. Glennie put his head on the table, and said, " Bella, you've deceived me, for you said Tom Bowles would not be here to-day." I went downstairs and said to Mrs. Dibbs," There's a dark gentleman come." Mrs. Dibbs replied, " Oh, my, won't there be a bowl-out now." (Roars of laughter.) Cross-examined—l was asked to come here last night. Mr. Karslake—Do you see Mr. Bowles now ? Witness—Yes, sir; it is that gentleman (point ing to one in quite different part of the court from that in which Mr. Bowles was sitting). Catherine Macrae, a little girl, the younger sister of the respondent, spoke to the familiar terms on which Mt. Bowles and Mr. Glennie lived. On one occasion Walter asked Bella if she had been out ii a brougham with Tom, and she said " Yes." At another time when Walter asked Mr. Bowles if he would come and dine with him on the next day, he said " Yes, I'd better bring my luggage and stop altogether." (Laughter.) Heard the respondent tell the petitioner that she had not had any money from M. Bowks, but 't-it, she should have some to-mor row. Mr. Glennie turned sticky and went t bed. Saw Bella one Friday nig t slip some money into Wsiter's hand and say. .* l'hai's what I prorniseU v nu." One night he said to he. " Y , u'd better st mi that 'title ch., (meaning witness) home. Mt. Bowies is quite enou.th to keep you company." Cross-examined—All this took place nt Pimlico. Witness went there during the .;ttristmas holiday... Mr. Danitl Parrott, of 25, Victoria-grove, lodg ing-house keeper—l know Mr. and Mrs Glennie. They lodged at my house trom Oct. 7 to the 11 t h of November last. I know Mr Bowles. He came to visit them several times. He was once or t vice there when Mr. Glennie was at home. Mr. George Macrae, of Bow, nurseryman —I am brother of Mrs. Glennie. I did not visit her till after her husband had left her at Penge. In Octo ber I called at the house, and Mr. Glennie came out to me. He said, "I am sorry I can't ask you in ; but I have a gentleman here whom I don't wish you to see. I will come out and have a walk with you." Theu he turned round to his wife and said, " Bella, Tom will take care of you." We went to a public-house and had some sherry. He said he knew he ought to ask my forgiveness, for he had sinned both against God and against me. I told him that as ho had married my sister I would let bygones be bygone. I told him also that I had called because I had learned from my sister that his brother, the Rev. John Glennie, of Green-street, had been down there and cross-questioning her about her past life. I said, too, that I had heard that they were still in the habit of meeting their old associates. He replied that that was true, and that it was not pleasant when walking out to be accosted by their old associates in sin ; add ing, that as his fa; her was a minister to the Marquis of "Westminster he was afraid that it might come to his lordship's ears.

It is held by his Abolitionist opponents that if he did not utterly rout and destroy the Con federate army at Antietam, it was because he would not; and by his jealous rivals, that he would have done so if he could, but that he had not the soldier ship or the skill. The ultra-war party, or " exter minators," as they ought to be called, for they would not only exterminate the southern people by fire and sword, but all Northern opposition by the guillotine or the galloww, demand his immediate dismissal. They allege that if he be a loyal man he has no military genius ; and that if he be a traitor, in collusion with the South, which they more than hint, his genius, if he have any, is more dangerous that his incapacity. In either case they call for his removal. They loudl3 insist that Ge neral Pope was sacrificed to his offended dignity, and allowed to be defeated with fearful loss of life at Centreville when Fitz-John Porter and three other Generals, whom Pope in his crimina tory report designates by name, might by obe dience to orders have won the day, and saved the honour of the flag. They allege that his heart is with the South ; that he does not wish to" hurt" his many ancient schoolmates of the Military Aca demy at West Point, now serving in the Confe derate army ; and that his main object is to pro tract the war until the patience and the resources of the North are both so much exhausted that the people will be glad to listen to terms of compromise, whether they come directly from the South or are instigated by the European Powers. All this slan der, distrust, and violence flow from the bitter and apparently inexhaustible fountain of Abolitionism. The New England philanthropists and philosophers, and the New York sensational preachers cry te Negro," " Negro." in and out of season, without loving the negro a whit the more for the fuss they make about him ; and Puritanic tea-tables, presided over by strong-minded women of the unmitigated Yankee type, re-echo the savage slogan of extermi- nation to the South with as much vehemence and zeal as if it were the recognized and imperative duty of Puritanism to enforce its theories at the cannon's mouth upon every recalcitrant, native or foreign, and as if a regular propaganda of all the " isms," teetotalism included, were to be established in America, to subdue the earth. It is difficult to see how the President, who has yielded so much to this party, can suddenly stop short; and still more difficult to see how he can retain his Cabinet if he retain his General, or his General if he retain his Cabinet. Either Gen. M'Clellan must be super seded in obedience to Abolitionist necessities and ideas, or Mr. Stanton and Mr. Chase must resign. By which way the mind of the bewildered Presi dent will turn depends, perhaps, less upon himself than upon Mr. Seward ; and he, the author of the revolutionary doctrine, that there may be in any country a higher law than the Constitution, is be lieved to have been converted into a Conservative by the responsibilities of power, and to support Gen. M'Clellan with the whole weight of his influ ence. Yesterday the rumour was current all over the city that Mr. Seward and Gen. M'Clellan had both disappeared from the arena for awhile, and that Abolitionism was triumphant. To-day the rumour is denied from Washington ; but the general im pression is that, sooner or later, the Abolitionists will prevail in the Councils of the President, and that unless M'Clellan fight a great battle and win it during the week he will no longer be allowed to command the army of the Potomac. The person most commonly spoken of for his successor is Oen. Hooker—Fighting Joe, as he is called by the sol diers—an Abolitionist and a brave man, but some what too much inclined to boast, as his despatch from the field of Antietam proves, to be considered in every respect a reliable commander. The Nor thern people seem to imagine that a fighting gene ral is better than a thinking one, and that brute valour and daring are all that are required to de feat the Southern armies. They forget that in these respects the South is quite equal if not supe rior to the North, and that in the great game of tinually.

(Laughter.) He also remarked that Torn Bowles was a stunning fellow, and had plenty of money. He said; "As we were very much in debt when we got married it is convenient to have rich friends, and Bowles is likely to come into a good bit of money by marrying a French lady." I replied, " Weil, if you come down to Bow I'll have no Tom Bowles there." (Laughter.) Cross-examined—Have been a gardener all my life ; except that I once went to India as a purser. I went to see about laying out a place for Sir jamsetjee Jejeebhoy. I have been unfortunate in business, and have been in Whitectoss-street pri son. I have had my present business about four years. I refused to see my sister till she was mar ried—at least I would have seen her myself, but my wife would not. My interview with the peti tioner lasted about four hours. Mr. Glennie was " getting on" a little. A very little seemed to take effect on him. Philip Watson, a shopman in the employ of Messrs. Harvey and Nichols, proved that Mr. Bowles had purchased some " rep" curtains there for his chambers. The Queen's Advocate then put in three notes from the petitioner to the co respondent. The last was dated Jan. 17, and contained the following pas serge—" I find, to my sorrow, that Bella had tie -I..e- d the loan of Rut herford' s brou g ham, or r athe r hat h , had given her a carte blanche to have a brougham from Baker's, where he keeps his, when ever she pleased, and at his expense.

All the gentlemen who had chambers were supplied with latch-keys. In the daytime the page Gibbs at tended in the hall to answer questions. After the door was shut Gibbs had other duties to perform. Mr. Huddleston then addressed the Court, con tending that the alibi had been satisfactorily made out ; and also that whatever the conduct f the wife might have been, the husband had deliberately con nived at and condoned it. The Queen's Advocate followed on the same side, insisting strongly on the evidence of connivance. Mr. Kerslake, in reply, ridiculed the extraordi nary attempt which had been made to prove that the respondent had not passed the night of Jan. 4th with the co-respondent. The account she gave of the transaction was, that she had gone to visit her sick mother, whereas it turned out that the mother was not that day at Fulham at all. There could not be the least doubt that adultery had been committed over and over again at Palace-chambers. As to the plea of condonation, no real evidence had been given in support of it. Neither had there been any satis factory proof of culpable carelessness on the part of the husband. Mr. Bowles was no doubt an in timate ft lend of the petitioner, but no ground had been shown for surmising that he (the husband) was wilfully blind to the manner in which the co-respondent had abused his confidence. The evi dence of the respondent's brother was absurdly self contradictory. According to this witness, the peti tioner was in one breath professing that he had married his wife from a feeling of penitence, and in the next he was shamelessly confessing that he wished to make a market of her sin. Sir C. Cresswell said he had no doubt or diffi culty as to the judgment which he ought in this case to pronounce. He believed that a very great degree of intimacy had existed between the respon dents before, at, and after the marriage. He believed that the respondent went to Palace-chambers on the evening of Jan. 4, and that she W£lB in the co respondent's bedroom when the chambermaid went into the other apartment to light the fire. Whetter or not she did in the night go to Fulham and re turn by half-past seven the next morning was wholly immaterial, for he could not doubt that adultery was committed, whether she did or did not. Neither did he believe that any corrupt conni vance had been established against the petitioner. There could be no doubt that he (the petitioner) was a very weak young man. He had been persuaded that he was the father of a child by her, and that he had thus committed an offence against God and man, for which he was bound to make reparation. What, then, could be so absurd as for him to marry a woman to legalise his connexion with her, and at the same time to contemplate her habitual commis sion of adultery with Bowles? He (the learned . judge) could not believe that the petitioner had Fitly knowledge of the terms on which the respondents had lived before, the marriage ; for h really could not place any confidence , n the evidence of the flower woman. file vit w which the court la id taken WAS coefi , atie,i by the letter of Jan. 17 ; for why should Mr. Glennie express pain at his wife's ac cepting the loan of a gentleman's brougham, if he knew that she was the mistress of Bowles? On the whole, therefore, whatever weakness, folly, and want of knowledge of the world the petitioner had shown in allowing himself to be cajoled by Bowles's professions of friendship, he could not see that ne had done anything to forfeit the remedy which the law gave him. There must therefore be a tree nisi; and, of course, as the co-respondent had abused the confidence of the petitioner to tempt this woman back again to sin, he must pay the costs to which Mr. Glennie had been put by such mis conduct.
