THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Times Correspondent.) JUNE 13. General M'Clellan remains quiet and watchful before Richmond. Both armies in the desperate battle of Fair Oaks suffered so severely that the incessant rains forced upon them by th e almost rains of the last few days has doubtless been as welcome to the one as the other. Yesterday the weather changed and the glass now st d stands at " Settled Fair." Every one, therefore, anticipates stirring news by Sunday next, but whether the news is to come in the s ha p e of a decisive battle, or in that of the sudden evacuation of the Confederate capital, no one ventures to predict. Whether it be either o f toese, or something else, the people of Europe maybe certain that the defeat of M'Clellan —which is possible, but not probable—would be of DO real advantage to the Confederates. It would but prolong the agony of the contest, and cause such an uprising of the excited N3rthern people as -would piece at the disposal of the Federal Govern ment any number of men it chose to ask for. The South, unless it enrol and arm its slaves, an ultima tum of hard necessity, on which it looks with alarm and repugnance, is not in a position to raise an ssxtra 100,000 men for any emergency whatever ; hile the North—vast as its armies already are — can double or treble them in case of need, and will do so at a word from the President rather than stop short in the work it has commenced. A Con federate victory at Richmond might give the Powers of Europe a welcome opportunity of recom mending the South to lay down its arms, and the North to grant a general amnesty ; but it would be of no real help to the cause of Southern inde pendence, unless upon the untenable supposition that the great Powers of Europe were prepared at the eleventh hour to make that cause their own and brave the certain consequences of a war with the 'United States. Recognition of the South was once as possible as it would have been wise and humane ; but that day has long sire° passed, and can scarcely be said to have outlasted the evacuation of Manassas. At the present time, with a whole harvest of laurels upon its brow, the North might listen to the pleadings of Europe for mercy to the vanquished ; but any attempt at recognition, even should victory smile upon the Confederate arms at Richmond, would awaken such a spirit of vengeance as would be omi nous of a more dreadful war than France or Eng land would care to engage in for interests so remote or advantages so problematical. The struggle, so far as it has yet proceeded, has offered many surprises, but it has produced nothing very dashing or brilliant on either side, except on the water, where the famous exploits of the defunct Merrimac in Hampton Roads, and the capture of New Orleans by the gunboats of Farragut, may rank with almost anything in history. But as the plan and results of Gen. Stonewall Jackson's late raid into the valley of the Shenandoah unfold them selves to the public comprehension, the North itself, which would gladly have him safe in Fort Lafay ette or on a halter, is forced into admiration at the gallantry and success of his movement. In order to prevent a concentration of force under M'Clellan at Richmond, and thereby to gain valuable time for his friends. Gen. Jackson suddenly pounced upon the unwisely diminished army of Gen. Banks, the strength of which he knew to a man, drove him out of the valley of the Shenandoah and across the Po tomac; frightened Secretary Stanton almost out of his wits for the safety of Baltimore and Wash ington ; and kept the whole country from Maine to Maryland in a fluster of alarm and indignation for at least a week. Finding that his force was not adequate for all the mischief he had intended, he commenced his retreat. Gen. Banks recrossed the Potomac in pursuit. Gen. Shields followed on the war -trail with the persevering vindictiveness and cool sagacity of some old Sachem of the Redskins ; and Gen. Fremont, anxious to do something to merit the confidence which has been unwillingly reposed in him after his escapades in Missouri, started across the mountains of Western Virginia on the scent of the fugitive. But Jackson was too strong and ton fleet for each and all of them ; and after some skirmishes with his pursuers, in which he find they suffered considerable loss, he at last made good his retreat from the Shenandoah Valley across the Blue Ridge Mountains. The event has produced sore chagrin to the three generals, who thought to make sure of him, and disappointment to the whole North. He is, doubtless, by this time far advanced en route for Richmond, where his arrival, if there be any gratitude left in the city, will be hailed with shouts of well-earned welcome. A little light has been thrown on the mystery of General Beauregard's movements by a recent de spatch from General Halleck at Corinth. It con firms the first report that the Confederate leader had retired towards Okolona, and adds, on the authority of a captured officer of the Commissariat, that Beau regard bad originally a force of upwards of 120,000 men at Corinth. General Pope is of opinion that the loss of the Confederates since their retreat, by cap ture, desertion, and the casualties of war, must be, at least, 20,000 men. General Buell estimates it at 30,000 In either case it would appear that Beau regard remains at the head of a formidable army, and letters from Louisville, Kentucky, under date of the 9th, allege that he has been enabled, within the last few days, to detach a large force to the aid of General Kirby Smith, who is marching from Knoxville in Tennessee, across the mountains into Nashville, gathering strength as' he goes, and rous ing up the overawed, but not by any means extin guished Secessionism of the Tennesseans. If this information be correct, the army of the South-west may yet give General Halleck employment. General Butler, at New Orleans, continues to excite the hope of all moderate and Conservative men in this part of the country that the President will soon find an opportunity to remove him to some Position where he may do less mischief. He is carry ing matters with as high a hand as if he were a st. Just or a Pouquier Tinville, utterly forgetful of the fact that the people of New Orleans are not savages whom he has conquered, bat citizens, or ex citizens of the Republic, which owes them freedom and protection as preliminaries to their allegiance, and to which they are as much entitled as General Butler himself, He is regulating, or attempting to regulate, not only the behaviour and dress of women and children, but all the operations of trade and commerce, and the prayers of t h e multitudes in their churches. The last heard of him is that a furious Charlotte Corday has been locked up in the calaboose for threatening his life, declaring as she was thrust into durance that there were a thousand women in New Orleans ready to execute the ven geance which she was about to accomplish, un l ess she were imprisoned for life ; and that he has sent an order to the churches and chapels of all denomi nations, that he will not tolerate any prayer that may be offered up for the destruction of the Union or the success of the Confederates. His " little difficulty" in the matter of the foreign Consuls, and the seizure of the specie in the office of the Consular agent of the Netherlands, is, it appears, to be amicably arranged by the intervention of Mr. Seward—a result which is generally considered satisfactory as far as it goes, but which would be received with far greater pleasure if accompanied by the announcement that this very sharp lawyer from Massachusetts was no longer the Military Governor of New Orleans, or any other place. Furragut captured the city very easily, but Butler may lose it more easily if ever a Confederate army come within , 20 miles of it. Wall-street does not appear to be quite certain that Mr. Chase is right in flooding the country with any more " green backs," as the new Trea sury demand-notes are called. As anticipated in my last, he has applied to Congress for the requi site permission to issue 150 millions of these notes, and the Bill, it is understood, will take precedence of all other business. No opposition is looked for l i i Congress, Mr. Chase h av i ng w i t hd rawn th a t !:on of the project which p rov id e d for the i ssue 25 millions in notes of smaller amount than 5 dols. Wh en this measure becomes law, the new paper currency of the united States, as distinguished from the ;paper currency of each individual State.,_and most, or E.ll of which, is amply secured, will amount to 300,000,000 dols. or X 60,000,000 sterling, all created by the war, and solely represented by the national credit. This sum i s , o f course , I exclusive of all the Treasury bond; and loans and certificates of indebtedness, which stand at this moment at so high a premium in Wall street. Though there is much affected contempt in certain quarters of the warning voice that comes from England by every mail, more uneasiness is felt on the subject than has yet been publicly expressed and some of the greatest magnates of Wall-street shake their heads dubiously whenever it is men tioned. It begins, too, to be perceived that Mr. Chase is taking the first steps, under cover of the war excitement, to found a National Bank of the United States—a matter on the expediency and propriety of which public opinion is still as much divided as it was in the days of Andrew Jackson. The excitement in monetary circles has been great both yesterday and to-day. The last quotations of gold this afternoon were as high as 5,3-, per cent. pre mium, and bankers' bills on London advanced to 116, with the prospect of a greater rise. The Tax Bill, which is the only basis on which this great superstructure of credit is to rest, has been referred to a Committee of Conference of both Houses ; and, as it is understood that the House of Representatives does not insist upon the restoration of the clauses struck out by the superior wisdom of the Senate, it is the general impression that it will be finally disposed of in a few days. The items from which the greatest amount of revenue is anticipated are the Income and Property Tax, and the duties upon Spirits, Beer, and Tobacco. By what machi nery it is proposed to collect the Income and Pro perty Tax—from which between nine and ten mil lions sterling are reckoned upon ; or whether the collectors are to be appointed by the Federal Go vernment, or by that of the several States of the Union, is not very clearly stated. But no one seems to anticipate the slightest difficulty in the matter. " We have taught the nations of Europe how to build iron-clad war-ships and how to conduct a great war. We are giving them new notions every day. We shall next show them a scheme of finance that will astonish them, and, better than all, we shall force them to contribute to the support of the war which the English aristocracy origi nated among us—by a small tax upon cotton." This is the tone of public feeling just now—some thing like the bravery of a man with the toothache on his way to the dentist's. Perhaps, when he has crossed the threshold of the operator and caught his first glimpse of the ruthless forceps, his courage may not be quite so rampant. The proposed new tariff of Customs' duties awaits the passage of the Tax Bill, and as the Government expects to raise a revenue of at least 100,000,000 dols. from that source alone, the world of trade, especially the English, will be curious to see by what means it is proposed to levy it. According to all present indication, the new tariff will be the Morrill Tariff—tightened and exasperated against the trade of the world—for the supposed advantage of the manufacturers of New England. In the meantime, as it is thought desirable that everybody should have a fair start after the war is over, when there will be unlimited happiness, un limited credit, and unlimited " green backs," or other paper-money, there is considerable anxiety for the passage of a Bankruptcy Bill. Two such measures are before Congress, but make no pro gress. Many petitions in favour of Mr. Conkling's, and afterwards of Mr. Poiter's Bill, have been pre sented from the principal commercial cities of the North, and especially from New York. From a statement recently circulated it appears that there are upwards of 8,000 registered assignments of pro perty to preferred and favoured creditors in New York city alone, the right to prefer one creditor over another being allowed in this State. Mr. Conkling's Bill follows the provisions of the Act recently introduced in England by Lord Westbury. It abolishes, as that Act does, all distinction be tween trader and non-trader, embodies all the penal clauses for fraud, and prevents the issue of any cer tificate upon the same grounds, precisely as the English law does, and proposes to appoint official assignees with the same powers. It is vehemently opposed in Congress, and has the disadvantage of not being proposed and supported by gentlemen who understand the subject sufficiently to answer the innumerable objections that are started against it. Perhaps, however, when the United States really become a nation—when they have a strong central Government, a large debt, and a uniform currency, public opinion will be ripe enough for a General Bankruptcy Act, if not at an earlier period. Mr. Benjamin Wood, one of the representatives in Congress of the city of New York, whose pub lished but unspoken speech in favour of conciliating the South I recently forwarded, has got himself into difficulty by it. A charge has been made against him of furnishing important information to the enemy. It is alleged by Mr. Wood's friends that there is not the slightest foundation for the charge; and that it wholly rests upon the fact that he directed copies of his speech to be sent through the Post-office to some of the leading politicians of the South. The speech can have given no informa tion the enemy; though, as has been remarked, it may have afforded comfort to such among them as really desired to return into the Union. Mr. Wood expresses himself as ready at any place or time to meet the charge, which has been referred to a Com mittee of the House to hear evidence and make its report. The " Mountain " is growing into power, and the " Gironde" must look to itself. Mr. Gideon Welles, the Secretary of the Navy, a gentleman whom it has long been the fashion to decry, principally for the reason that he did not order the capture of the Merrimac at all hazards, but in whose department all the most signal vic tories of the war have been achieved, has ad dressed a long letter to the Naval Committee of both Houses of Congress, urging the appropriation of any amount of money that may be required for the reconstruction of the Federal Navy. He is of opinion that the United States, in view of the con tingencies of a foreign war, should immediately make itself a great naval Power, and establish several additional Navy-yards for the building of iron-clad and iron war vessels. Ho considers it especially important that one of them should be established at some point in the Valley of the Mississippi. His letter will attract attention in Europe as well as in America; and shows, like many other circumstances of less importance, that after the reconstruction of the Union, should that ever take place, the United States will arrogate to themselves a larger share in the politics of the world than they have hitherto deemed it prudent or necessary to claim. I have said it before, and I repeat it, they have become a more warlike and aggressive people than ever they were, and will seek opportunity to prove that they can fight foreigners with as much energy and determination as they can fight their fellow-citizens. c : E M ZZE e4. RIOUS DOUBLE SUICIDE.—The Precurseur narrates the following :—Two gentlemen, ap parentlyagedfrom fifty to sixty, crossed the Scheldt in the steamboat, and linded at Saint -Anne, where they supped s uccessively at a public-house known as the Rose d'Or. After sup per-. they went wa :si e v h ely to five or six other similar h o uses, where it whispering togeth er .

Both bodi es throw it into the river, and then jumped in themselves. This was executed with such ra p idit y who was at some dista nce from them, had been found, but no traces have been discovered as to their iden tity, or the reasons for the act. YORKSHIRE WIT.—A Yorkshire boy went into a public-house, where a gentleman was eating eggs. The boy looked ex t reme ly h a rd at him for some time, and then said, "Will y ou b e good enough to give me a little salt, Sir r "Ay, certainly, boy; but why do you want salt?" " Perhaps, Sir," sa y s h e, "you 'II ask m e to eat an egg presently, and I should lik e t o b e re ady." " What count r y are you from, my lad ?" "Yorkshire, Sir , " "I thou g ht so—there, take an egg."l:," I thank you, Sir," said the boy. " Well," added the gentleman, " they are all great horse-stealers in your country, are they not ?" " Yes , " rejoins the boy, "my father (though an honest man) . would mind no more stealing of a horse than I weal(' drinking your glass of ale—Your health, Sir," added he, and drank it up. "That will do," says the gentleman; " I see you 're Yorkshire," THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 28, 18 A HUSBAND SHOT DEAD-JEALOUSY AND REVENGE. A shocking affair occurred at No. 256, Broad way, third floor, yesterday afternoon, involving the life of Peter C. Real, a well-known manufacturer of gilt braid. Mr. Real, it appears, was busily en gaged at work, about three o'clock, when a young woman, named Mary Stewart, entered the work shop, and accused him of having deserted her. Some exciting language then followed between them, when, finding that the workmen were listening to the conversation, they retired tc the hall. Here the excited conversation was renewed, and soon the workmen were alarmed by the discharge of a pistol. Upon opening the door to ascertain the cause of the explosion, they were horrified to find their employer on the floor weltering in blood. The injured man was removed to his office, and a physician sent for; but before medical aid could be procured he expired. The noise of the pistol attracted the attention of the Fifth Precinct police, who hastened to the spot, and arrested Miss Stewart before she could make her escape. Upon being brought to the Tombs the prisoner stated that she was the wife of the de ceased, who abandoned her, and treated her in the most shameful manner. She made this statement in extenuation of her crime, and conducted herself with considerable dignity and self-possession for one placed in such an unpleasant position. She also said that she met Real on the Jersey City ferry the day before, in company with a strange woman, and that she accosted the latter and exposed the real character of deceased. Real refused to recog nise her, and denied that any relationship existed between them ; but she persisted that he was her husband, and the lady left his company in order to avoid any unpleasant consequences. The meeting between the deserted wife and her husband had the effect of changing whatever love she had for him into intense hate. Burning with revenge, she went straightway to a hardware store and purchased a pistol, with the view of killing the deceased on the first opportunity. Yesterday morning she waited at the Jersey City ferry nearly two hours with the intention of intercepting Real as he came over to business, but somehow or other he escaped her notice and managed to reach his office unmolested. A post mortem examination of the body showed that the ball entered the left breast, between the first and second ribs, one and a half inch from the median line. On opening the cavity of the thorax the wound was found passing through the upper lobe of the left lung, in a downward direction, penetrating the left pulmonary artery, and lodg ing between the fifth and sixth ribs, near their ar ticulation with the vertebral column. On making an incision through the back the ball was found and extracted. The left cavity of the thorax was filled with coagulated blood, and the right one partially filled. Both auricles and ventricles of the heart were empty. In the opinion of the physician death was almost instantaneous. The only words that deceased was heard to utter after receiving the fatal wound were—" lam killed, I am dead." Indeed, so sudden was his death that the workmen had scarcely seated him in the office when he expired. The prisoner, who is a woman of more than ordi nary intelligence, informed the police that she was married to Real some years ago; that daring the last six months he had treated her in the most cruel manner, abandoning her for other women, and leav ing her upon the cold charity of the world : that he seldom returned home after business until a late hour at night, and frequently stayed away from her for a week at a time. She thinks that she is per fectly justified in the course she has taken, and is sanguine of regaining her liberty when the matter comes up for investigation.—Few York lierald, June 14. LA TV INTELLIGENCE.—Tune 27. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Westminster, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) BUTCHER V. THE GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COM- PANY.--ACCIDENT. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, to recover damages for injuries which he had sustained, in consequence of the alleged negligence of the de fendants' servants—the crew of one of their steamers, plying between Yarmouth and London. The defendants pleaded not guilty of negligence. Mr. Hoggins, Q.C., and Mr.T. J. Clark, appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Craufurd, and Mr. C. Pollock, represented the defendants. It appeared that the plaintiff, who is an embosser, engraver, and enameller of glass bottles and labels, bad, in the summer of last year, gone, with his wife, on au excursion to Paris. On their return to England they stopped at Yarmouth, where they remained a few days. Plaintiff's wife then re turned to London, leaving plaintiff still at Yar mouth. He, at the expiration of that time, took his passage:on board one of the defendants' steamers which plied between Yarmouth and London ; and when they arrived opposite Woolwich the steamer came into collision with a schooner. The crash was violent, and plaintiff was knocked down, and so seriously injflred as to be rendered insensible. The accident took place about two o'clock in the morning, and he remained in a pros trate condition until 10 the next morning, when he was removed, and conveyed in a cab to his house in London. Plaintiff was called to corroborate the statement of counsel. He appeared in a nervous and debili tated state, and when under examination frequently put his hands to his head, complained that he suf fered in it from pains, which he believed to be the result of the injury to his system, that his hearing was impaired since the accident, and that he was not, since the injury, able to attend as formerly to his business. His income, derived from his business, had been from £3OO to £4OO a year, but it had fallen off in consequence of the injury he had sus tained. Ia cross-examination it was elicited that plaintiff had, in 1860, sustained an injury by being knocked down by the 'alle ,, ed negligence of one of Messrs, Combe and Delafield, the brewers' drayman, in driving his dray. The wheels of the dray came in contact with his head, wounding the scalp on both sides to a considerable extent; and he was then so seriously injured that he was conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where he remained some time under sur gical treatment. It was also elicited that he had suffered in health from an attack of rheumatic fever. From Messrs. Combe and Delafield he received £lOO in consideration of the injury he had sustained by the alleged negligence of their draymea. Mrs. Butcher, wife of the plaintiff, was called, and gave evidence in corroboration of his sufferings, arising from the shock to his system by the acci dent on board the defendants' steamer. The medical gentlemen who attended him after the accident—one of them a surgeon at Guy's Hos pital, under whose treatment he was while in that institution—were also examined, and they gave evidence as to the nature of the injury he had sus tained. Witnesses were also called who worked as jour neymen in plaintiff's employ, some of whom stated that they had earned £3 to £4 a week from him by assisting him in his business. The plaintiff's caie had not closed at five o'clock, and the further trial of the action was adjourned till to-morrow (this day). ticular circumstance which had not been already stated. The plaintiff's wife, his daughter, and one or two other persons gave evidence in support of the case. As far as could be gathered, the plaintiff com plained he was a victim of what he called the com mon practice of locking sane people up in lunatic asylums, and he protested that his duty to himself, his family, his country, and his Creator, compelled him to expose the system ; and he said he appealed, like Sophocles, to his works (the letters which he had written to various official persons) to show con clusively to any sane mind that there was no ground for sending him to Bethlehem. He protested that the question of insanity was one to be determined by one's common sense, and not by medical testi mony ; and he warned any medical men who should venture to be witnesses that he might perhaps prove them to be insane. He complained that in Bethlehem he had been compelled to take warm baths, and this in order that his pockets might be rifled of his papers ; that he had been compelled to walk in the yard ; that he felt the cold ; that he had a mug to drink from instead of a glass ; that on some occasions the criminal lunatics were allowed to see some fireworks exhibited a'z the hospital, whilst he and others were not allowed the privilege; and he also complained of other things which were evidently done in accordance with the rules of the hospital. He also asserted that these things were done in order to induce him to commit violence, but without effect; and to cause him to die. He admit ted that on one occasion, having failed in his appeals to the governor of the prison, he had said that if there was no law to afford him protection, he would shoot the first man who insulted him; but he com plained that the meaning of these words had been cruelly perverted against him. A further complaint was, that the proceedings in lunacy had been taken under the wrong act of Parliament. His lordship, however, decided this point against him, and said that the only question for the jury was, whether the plaintiff was in fact insane when he was taken to the hospital. The defence was, that in Jan., 1856, the plaintiff made several complaints to the prison authorities that persons had used indecent gestures towards him but, upon investigation, no foundation could be found for the complaints. On Jan. 24 Mr. Lalor, a pri soner, complained that the plaintiff had called him a murderer, and had threatened to shoot him ; and, in the presence of Captain Hudson, the plaintiff said that he would shoot Lalor, or anybody else who insulted him. Thereupon Captain Hudson consulted Mr. Wakem, the medical officer of the pri son, who called in Dr. Griffiths, and, upon their certificate, he was removed to Bethlehem, where he ; was treated with kindness, and nothing was done that was not in accordance with the rules of the hospital. One of the principal complaints of the plaintiff was, that he had not for some months been allowed to see his wife and daughter, but defen dant's counsel explained that this occurred in this way. The wife and daughter had frequently taken into the hospital acts of Parliament, documents, and, on two occasions, knives, all of which was con trary to the rules. It was not thought that the plaintiff himself would make any improper use of the knives, but there was the danger that they , might get into the hands of other patients. In con sequence of this the visits were forbidden. It fur ther appeared that the plaintiff had some of the acts of Parliament and papers addressed to another patient named Hind, a circumstance which made Hind's malady worse, and this caused the plaintiff to be removed to another ward, a thing which he now strongly complained of. It was stated the first time the plaintiff was known to have complained of insulting gestures, was before he went into the pri son, the plaintiff having made the charge against a person named Timberlake, whom he met upon one of the bridges—the gesture complained of being that Timberlake put his fingers into his mouth. Singularly enough, when the plaintiff went to Bethlehem he found Timberlake a patient there, and the plaintiff alleged that the gestures and other annoyances were continued after this. When Captain Hudson was giving evidence, the plaintiff cross-examined him to show, as he said, that the captain was in the habit, when anybody offended him, of sending them to Bethlehem. At length, when the case had lasted a day and a half, the jury stopped it by saying that their minds were completely made up. The Lord Chief Justice said he quite concurred; there was no doubt the plaintiff had proved himself to be of unsound mind. Averdia;;;thereupon entered for defendants. The plaintiff said he understood that his lordship had reserved the question of law for the full Court. The Lord Chief Justice, however, said he had never said anything of the kind. He ruled that the proceedings had been properly taken under the Queen's Bench Prison Act, instead of the General Lunacy Act. The plaintiff protested that he had been very un fairly treated, and that he must appeal. The Lord Chief Justice believed that every person who had come in contact with the plaintiff since 1855 appeared to him to be the worst of mankind; and no doubt the judge and jury were in the same category. The plaintiff asserted that he had been cruelly treated ; but having packed up his papers he retired. Half an hour afterwards he reappeared, and asked for two or three days' time to prepare a bill of ex ceptions to his lordship's ruling; and this having been refused, he asked to be allowed at once to ten der the exceptions, and he offered to hand in the document. The Lord Chief Justice, however, declined to re ceive a bill of exceptions after the verdict had been given and the jury had gone. The plaintiff then left the court, declaring that he should appeal. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. DOUGLAS V. DOUGLAS AND WINSTANLEY. The petitioner was a leather-seller, residing at Liverpool, and he applied for a dissolution of mar riage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co. respondent ; to which the respondent pleaded, denying the charge. Dr. Spinks was counsel for the petitioner, and Mr. Martin for the respondent. The evidence was to the effect that the marriage was solemnised in February, 1857, and that shortly afterwards the respondent contracted habits of intemperance, and in 1859 her conduct became so violent that a separation took place between the parties. The husband then commenced a suit for judicial separation, which he abandoned on his wife consenting to enter a reformatory for some time, but on her return home she resumed her old habits, in addition to which she formed an illicit intercourse with the co-respondent, who was a man over GO years of age. The petitioner then determined to institute the present proceedings. _ _ The case was fully established, and the jury found a verdict for the petitioner. The Court pronounced a decree nisi without costs. TEDBURY V. TEDBURY. In this case the petitioner prayed for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of her husband having committed incest by an adulterous connexion with her sister. The respondent denied the charge, and pleaded condonation. Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Mr. Pritchard appeared for the petitioner; and Mr. Henry James for the respondent. Several witnesses were examined, and their evi dence was to the effect that the petitioner was the daughter of a respectable upholsterer, named Sad grove, who was in business in London. She was married to the respondent, Charles Hollingsworth Tedbury, the son of a dealer in artificial manures, on the 16th of December, 1851, and they cohabited until the middle of April, 1860. Her sister Louisa Sadgrove lodged in the house of a Mr. Griffiths, when she was visited by the respondent, and daring his stay he occupied the same room in which she slept. While at his house she was confined. The learned counsel on both sides having addressed the Court, _ _ The jury found a verdict for the petitioner. Sir C. Cresswell said it was a disgraceful case, and pronounced a decree nisi with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—,Tune 27. GUILDHALL.—ALLEGED U D O H A 14 1 1, 2 . LLEG ED FRAUD TO TIIE AMOUNT F £ ,000 AGAINST AN INSOLVENT. John James Hawkins, who was brought up on a habeas from the Queen's Prison, and Victoria Julia fendant as his wa r d , Nepean Warren, who was claimed by the oth er de• adopted daught er , and wife,be trothed were summoned before Mr. Alderman Wilson at the instance of Mr. Frederick Charles Pawle, a stockbroker, for unlawfully conspiring together to cheat and defraud the creditors of Hawkins of certain Mexican stock to the amount of £12,000. Mr. Lewis, jun., attended for the defence. Mr. Metcalfe, for the prosecution, said ho was instructed by the committee of the Stock Exchange to lay the facts of this case before the court, and to ask the magistrate, if the evidence established a criminal charge against the defendants, to send them elsewhere to answer the offence. It appeared that the defendant Hawkins was arrested in May, 1859, for a debt which he incurred on the Stock Exchange in respect of certain shares which he repudiated, and on the 12th of March, 1860, he petitioned the Insolvency Court and filed his schedule on the 26th of the same month. On the 12th of March, 1862, the commissioner gave judgment. It was quite clear that at the time Hawkins was arrested ho had a number of shares to the value of some thousands of pounds, besides other property to a considerable amount. Among those shares were 250 Lombardo- Venetian shares, which were duly entered in his sche dule, and he accounted for their disposal by stating for that he sold them on the 15th September, 1.9a. - ' 9 l £2,800, and remitted the amount to his broth*. 'r in America, in satisfaction of an old debt he contras: teu with him many years ago. He represented that a pa r son of the name of Forster, whose address was am• - bigueusly given as the " Far West," called upon him and that he sent the money by that person to his brother. When asked in the Insolvency Court the name of the broker who sold the shares for him, he replied, after some hesitation, that it was an out sider on the Stock Exchange of the name of Ash. Other property was also disposed of in a doubtful manner, but the Lombardo-Venetian shares would be quite sufficient for the purposes of the present charge. This was the account rendered by the in solvent Hawkins; but he was now prepared to prove that although the shares in question were sold on the 15th September, 1859, they were disposed of by Mr. Bunford Samuel, a stockbroker, of Throg morton-street, and not by Ash, the outsider, who was nowhere to be found. That the proceed:; were handed over to Miss Warren in the form of a cheque, which sbe afterwards got cashed, rec, 'AT - ing two Bank of England notes for £l,OOO each a.nd one for £5OO. On the 3d of October following Mk's Warren instructed Mr. Samuel to purchase in hex' name Mexican stock representing £12,000 in value„ for which she paid with the identical bank notes she had received in change for the cheque paid to her in the first instance by Mr. Samuel, so that there was abundant evidence to show that the money did not go to the insolvent's brother in Ame rica, but to the defendant, Miss Warren, to whom the defendant Hawkins was engaged to be married. The account as sworn to by Miss Warren and Haw kins was that the shares were otherwise disposed of, and that the Mexican stock purchased in her name was her own property, and that she had sent the whole of it over to Haxvkins's brother in Texas to realise and purchase land for her in her own name. These being the facts of the case, he would inform the Court that the charge he intended to prefer against the defendants would be for conspir ing to defraud the insolvent's creditors, for wil ful and corrupt perjury, and against Hawkins for fraudulently omitting from his schedule the account of the Mexican stock, and against the de fendant, Miss Warren, for aiding and abetting the insolvent in such frauoulent omission. Mr. Charles George Hatt, one of the clerks of the Insolvency Court, produced the proceedings conse quent upon the filing of Hawkins' petition, and de posed to having administered the oath to Hawkins verifying the contents of his schedule on the 12th of March last. He saw him sign his petition and schedule. Mr. Chivers, a shorthand writer, then produced and read hs notes of the examination of the insol vent and Miss Warren before the commissioner on May 3, 1860, July 30, 1860, February 11, 1862, February 19, 1862, and March 6, 1862. There was no examination on March Z 2, 1862 ; nothing beyond the judgment. Mr. Metcalfe called particular attention to a por tion of one of the examinations bearing upon the disposal of the 280 Lombardo Venetian shares, when Mr. Lewis interposed, and said the examinations must be taken as a whole, inasmuch as it was im portant to know what Hawkins's affairs really were in order to arrive at the fact whether Miss Warren was or was not - acquainted with his real position. It was quite true that prior to his arrest Hawkins was engaged to be married to Miss War ren, and that he settled this property upon her in anticipation of that marriage, and it was now sought to extort from her the means of satisfying claims arising out of Stock Exchange gambling transactions. Mr. Metcalfe said that remained to be proved. He had no objection to the whole of the examina tion being put as evidence, but he wished to save the time of the Court. As soon as Mr. Chivers had concluded reading his notes an adjournment was suggested, in which all parties concur/T(1; the young lady being libe rated on bail, and the insolvent taken back to the Queen's Prison. LAMBETH.—THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ALLEGED WHOLESALE POlSONlNG.—Catherine, alias Constance Wilson, alias Taylor, alias Turner, who had been tzied at the late session at the Cen tral Criminal Court on a charge of attempting to poison Mrs. Cornell, but acquitted, was again placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton on a charge of causing the death of Mrs. Ann Atkin son, a respectable married female by administering poison. Mr. Chipperfield, as on the former examination, attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Neale for the defence. The court was much crowded during the exami nation. Mr. Nairne, the medical gentleman who attended the deceased, and who gave evidence on the former examination, was recalled, and said his first visit to Mrs. Atkinson at the house of the prisoner, was on Monday, the 15th of October, 1860, when he found her to be labouring under what he believed to be " choleraic diarrhoea," and continued his visits two and three times a day up to the time of her death, which took place on the following Friday night, and gave a certificate in her case, assigning her death to "choleraic diarrhoea." Arsenic adminis tered in small doses would produce the effects under which he found the deceased labouring when called in. _ _ Mr. Norton—ln your former examination, Mr. Nairne, you said the deceased told you she had been taken ill at Rugby Station, and also robbed there. Now, are you quite certain it was the deceased told you this, or might it not have been the pri soner ? _ _ Mr. Nairne-1 am quite sure that it was Mrs. Atkinson who said so. _ _ _ Mr. Norton—Did she say the amount of which she had been robbed ? Witness—She did not mention the amount. Mr. Joseph Atkinson, the husband of the de ceased, and a respectable-looking middle-aged man, was here called and sworn. He said—l am a tailor by trade, residing at Kirkby, Lonsdale, Westmore land, and the deceased, Ann Atkinson, was my wife, and at the time of her death, which took place at tho house of the prisoner on the 19th of October last, she was 55 years of age. She carried on the business of a milliner and dressmaker at my resi dence, and it was her custom to visit London once a year for the purposes of her trade. and she was always in the habit of taking with her a large sum of money. My wife had been acquainted with the prisoner for about seven years, and when she came to town was in the habit of stopping at her house, 10, Loughborough-street, Kennington. On Satur day morning, the 18th of October, 1860, my wife left Kirkby for town, and on the Tuesday morning following I received from her the letter I now pro duce "My dear Joseph,—l am glad to tell you that Mr. Taylor was at the station to meet me. It was well, as it rained in torrents, and such a heavy night. I think I should never have got a cab. I took the express, as they informed me at Rugby that it would be half-past 11 before we arrived. I was glad I had when he was there waiting for me. lam getting well nursed to-day and not going out, that I may be fit for a good day's work to morrow, if all is well. Mr. Taylor is not well. He is engaged to-day—some of the machinery is broke. They came to call him this morning, and he is at work to-day, and you must look out for some good apples and pears. I shall have to send them a ham per when I come home. Tell Jane on Thursday to get 12 'quarts of plums for them. She has got apples 2d. per pound very poor, and three pears a penny, damsons Bd. per quart. So she will pay us to send her some when I return, but I thought better to mention the plums for fear they might be over before I returned . I am glad I have come to her, as I am as well as at home. She is so kind, and Taylor as well. Tell Mary to cut a little off the black silk skirt that Martha took in pieces of Mrs. Hodgson, as I forgot, and I have to match for waste, and to look if it will require in shore in the skirt. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor beg to be remembered to you and Aunt Jane, and believe me, " Your affectionate wife, " ANN ATKINSON." N ex t morning I received a telegraphic communica tion from Thomas Taylor requ es ti ng my presence in London as early as possible, and in consequence I i m mediately started for London, where I arrived on the same night, and found my wife at the house of the prisoner. Mr. Norton—Did you see the prisoner on your arrival at her house ? Witness—l did, sir. Mr. Norton—State as nearly as you can what too',. place on your seeing her ?—Witness—l first asked her if my wife was alive, and she said she war. I then told her to go up and tell my wife I was come, and she did, and on my going up-stairs I found my wife in bed very ill, and I told her not to put herself out of the way. I asked the prisoner who the doctor was who was in attendance on my wife, and she replied a very eminent man who al ways attended her family. I attended my wife, who did not think herself in danger until Friday morning, when she complained of a violent pain in the back, and said she did not think she should re cover. When you first saw the prisoner did she say any thing to you about anything happ en i ng to your wife at Rugby, or her having been ro bb e d t h ere ? —Not a single word, sir. Did your wife tell you anything about her being ill on her way to town ?--She did not make a word of complaint of h er b e i ng or being robbed. On the Thursday my wife compl ained of the things—the barley -water and beef-tea-1 37 !., pared for her by the p r i soner , sa ying they were PTA down mere hogwash, and I i n con s t quemo w-- -- stairs and made some arrowroot myself for her. The beef •tea was very poor, and I requested the prisoner to send out for a couple of pounds of beef to make some beef-tea of a richer quality, but she said she had . plenty in the house. i hlr. Nairne was here recalled, and in reply to a question from the magistrate said that the " Few fe r's mineral solution" might be mixed up with bet ie-tea, or barley-water, or arrowroot, without na i pt , bly changing their flavour, particularly if r m i xeu up in quantities, and they might be taken withou t causing suspicion. At ki r eson—On the Saturday morning after my wife ' s d ee , th the prisoner asked me to go up stairs to see how they laid out my wife. I went up, and while in the room the prisoner asked me if my wife had told. me or said anything about being robbed at Rugby ; and I told her she had not, and asked her about it. She said she was sorry she did not tell me that my wife had got very sick and ill at Rugby, and went to a water-closet, where she was followed by a lady, who took her round the waist, and when she came out a gentleman asked if she had lost her pocket. The ladv at this time came forward, and, giving up the pocket, said she was taking care of it until she came round. Mr. Norton—Did she say how much your wife had been robbed of ? Witness—No, glee did not. And though you had been in constant attendance on your wife from the Wednesday to her death on Fr day night, she never said a word about her ill nese or the alleged robbery ?—Not a syllable, I assur.eyou. After telling me about the robbery; the pee soner opened a chest and took out a bag con taining wearing apparel belonging to my wife, and amongst the things I found my wife's pocket, in which there was a small purse containing 19 sove reigns and about 20s. in silver. Did you examine the pocket to see if it had been torn ?—I did, but it appeared to be perfect. Have you any opportunity of knowing what amount of money your wife took from home with her P—l have not, sir, but I feel quite sure it was more than £lOO. I should say £l2O or £l3O. How was she in the habit of carrying it ? Always sewn up in the inside of her stays. The same morning Mr. Nairne, the doctor, came up stairs, !end after expressing his sorrow for my loss, he suggested opening the body, saying that her disease might be of long standing, when I said I should spok to the prisoner on the subject. I spoke to the prison'er about it, and she said, " All doctors are alike in LOnclon ; they would open them all. I would not have her cut up, poor thing." Not sus pecting anything wrong at the time, I said it was of little use or consequence, and as I thought it might have caused some trouble in the house I did not further press it. Mr. Norton observed that the examination had already exceeded the usual hours of business and again remanded the prisoner , who appeared to listen to the evidence against her with apparent indiffer ence, to a future day.

The plaintiff in this case was in 1855 a prisoner in the Queen's Prison, and early in the following year he was removed from that place to Bethlehem Hospital, where he was confined for a considerable period as a lunatic. He now claimed damages for false imprisonment, alleging that he had never been lunatic. The defendants were the Secretary of State fur the Home Department, Captain Hudson, the governor, and some other officers of the Queen's Prison ; and also the medical officers of Bethlehem, Dr. Hood, and Mr. Helps. The plaintiff appeared in person. The Attorney-General and Mr. T. Jones were for Sir George Grey and the officers of the prison; and Tr. Serjeant Figgott for the officers of Bethlehem.

OnTE .ursday Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy coroner for the eastern division of Middlesex, held an inquost at the George and Dragon Tavern, High-street, touching the death of a newly-bore male child, supposed to have been murdered. A police -cons table deposed that on Wednesday morning last, about 5 o'clock, while on duty in West's-gar" dens, High-street, Shadwell, he saw a parcel lying in a remote spot at the rear of Mr. Nathan's, th e butcher's. He unfastened the covering, when , found the body of a well-developed child, quite fresh, as if it hac I been recently born. There were 13 ° marks on t he covering, and he believed that the child had on ly been born a few hours. Dr. Boss , the division, if medical officer, said that the face the deceased was flattened, and also the nose he r been pressed.
