711 E NAVY. Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Frederick W. Grey, 8.C.8., and Rear -Admiral R. S. Robinson, Control ler of the N:lvy, yesterday made an official inspec tion of Wo o l w i c h d oc kyard, and, having examined the progress made by the factory department in affixing the armour-plates amidships on the Cale donia, in dock at Woolwich, they witnessed a series of tests and experiments by the application of heavy weights of pig-iron, to prove the endurance and effi ciency of the huge rudder applied to the ship. After the trials, which were perfectly satisfactory, they inspected the timber-sheds, fitting basins, and dock yard factory. Her 'Majesty's steam store-ship Fox, 1,131 tons, Master-Cfornmander Pullen, was yesterday hauled into the basin at Woolwich, to make good defects occa,:lioned by the late gales in the Channel on her v oyage up from Pl ymouth ; after which she will ship boilers and machinery for the west. The weight and measurement of the three rival ships' Pumps, tested on the preceding day at Wool wich dockyard are given as follows r—Roberts's, 2 cwt. lqr. 2 0413 ; Gossage's, 3cwt. 2qrs. 71b ; an d Stone's, ;cwt.Oqr. lib. ; and their capacity Roberts's, 326 in. ; Gossage's, 332 in. ; and Stone's, 4 02 in, it is probable that a further trial will be ordered. The Flying Fish, 6, Berew, Commander W. H. Anderson, came into P ortsmouth harbour yesterday from Spithead. rile engines broke down, when she was assisted the do },, y the tend er B ee , an d hauled along sider.:kyard. She will be taken into dock to be exarztined, and see what damage was done to her keel on going on shore on Newton-bank, in the Needles passage, as noticed in The Sun of Friday. The Hero, 89, screw line-of-battle ship, Capt. A. P. Ryder, sailed at daylight yesterday for Sheer ness to be dismantled and pay off. His Danish Majesty's scrivr corvette Dagmar, 16, Capt. Seidelin, sailed from Spithead yesterday morning at daylig'nt for Gibrallar. Captain Seidelin and the Vice-Admiral dined with Admiral Sir H. Bruce on Thursday evening at the Admiral's resi dence. The screw steam corvette Barossa, 21, Capt. W. M. Dowell, which put back to Plymouth Sound leaky on Sunday n i ght, has since been in No. 1 dock in the Devonport yard, with a view to the dis covery of the l ea k . She was removed on Thursday evening, without any positive conclusion on the subject being al . rived 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 1.50 miles was made, wb.en the engines were stopped, the fires let down, and she proceeded under canvas 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. bin. 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 eulty. 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 obtained, 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 Lt Devonport, went with the engineer officers from Keyham-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 Phoebe, .51., Cupful. Fortimmoe, 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 t o-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, 8 0-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 on the Gunfleet Sands ; and the officers of the Vigi lant are to be turned over to that vessel. Yesterday afternoon, as the Thistle gunboat was returning from the coal ship in the harbour at Sheerness to her duties in connection with the docit 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 telegraph s 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-engi nnr, serving on board the Vigilant, 4, 200 horse Power, for having, on the 26th October last, ab sented himself without leave from the naval bar racks. i n Sheerness dockyard, and not returning un til 29th O cto b er.

The gallant General in spected the B battery of the Royal Horse Artillery, commanded by Captain Paget, on Tuesday at Dor chester; and on Wednesday went over the new artillery works on the breakwater at Portland. The burstin g of a 40-pounder Armstrong gun took place yesterday in the proof-cell in Woolwich Ar senal. The gun had been used for proving vents, and had fired 1,058 rounds. The ammunition ex pended was upwards of 10,000 Lb., and the weight of shot upwards of 42,000113. As the charge employed in proving vents is extraordinarily heavy the burst ing of the proof weapon occasions no surprise to those employed in the department. The gun is ex pected to give way after a certain number of rounds, and an occasional failure, as above stated, is in no wise looked upon as any detriment to the credit of the gun for the public service or the system of its manufacture. THE FREE NEGROES 4T PORT ROYAL. 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 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 man 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 intends that all men shall serve Him with heir 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 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 tinually. Good coloured friends, you have a great work to do, and you are in a position of respon sibility. The whole North, all the people in the Free States, are looking at you and the experi ment now tried in your behalf with the deepest interest. This experiment is to give you free dom, position, home, and your own families —wives,property, your own soil. You shall till and cultivate your own crops; you shall gather and sell the products of your industry for your own benefit ; you shall own your own savings, and you shall be able to feel that God is prospering you from day to day and from year to year, and raising you to a higher level of goodness, religion, and a nobler life. Supposing you fail down here ; that will be an end of the whole matter. It is like attaching a cable to a stranded vessel, and all the strength that can be mustered is put upon this rope to haul her off. If this only rope breaks the vessel is lost. God help you all, and help us all to help you. If you are idle, vicious, indolent and negligent, you will fail, and your last hope is gone; if you are not faithful you rivet eternally the fetters upon those who to r day are fastened down by fetters and suffer by the driver's goad. You have in your hands the rescu ing of those sufferers over whose sorrows you mourn continually. If you fail, what a dreadful responsi bility it will be when you come to die to feel that the only great opportunity you had for serving yourselves and your oppressed race was allowed to slip. A n d you, women, you must be careful of your children. You must teach them to be industrious, cleanly, obedient, and dutiful at all times. You must keep your houses neat and tidy, wor ki ng all day, if necessary, to have them in the best possible condition, always thinking and contriving to make them cleaner and more comfortable. When your husband comes home from the labours and fatigues of the day, a lways have something good a n d n i ce for his supper, and speak kindly to him, for these little acts of love and attention will bring you happiness and joy. And when you m en go out to work you must labour with diligence and zeal. It seems to me, had I the stimulus to work that you have, that I could labour like a giant. Now you know who I am. My first duty here is to deal justly; second, to love mercy and third, to walk humbly. First, justly —I shall endeavour to get you to do your duty faithfully. If you do I shall reward you ; and if you refuse, then what comes next ? Why the wicked must be punished, and made to do right. I will take the bad man by the throat and force him to his duty. Ido not mean that I will take hold of him with my own hands, but with the strong arm of 2 military power. Now do we understand each other . lam working for you already. lam told by your superintendent that a gang of men are building your houses at the rate of six a day. These houses are to make you more comfortable. You are to have a patch of ground, which you can call your own, to raise your own garden truck, and you may work for the government for good wages. And you women must mak e y our h ouses s hi ne ; you must p l a i ster them and whi tewash them, and gradually get fur n," i r truarnegiend i your n s such eh a cabins, w ay a and h d a t a y cooking-stove. r I LI have In g cheaper and better than before, and you are to te,earsscinhoolfor your c hild ren.

Groan the Tames' Correspondent.) NEW YORK, OCT. 24. The attacks upon General M'Clellan increase in virulence. 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 gallows, 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 " 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 Gen. Hooker—Fighting Joe, its he in 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 war the skill and discretion of the leaders count for quite as much as the heroism of the soldiers, and that Neys and Murats are more easily found to fight battles than Napoleons to plan and win them. The condition and prospects of the army appear to be bad enough to justify Gen. M'Clellan's hesi tation in advancing. New York swarms with vo lunteers who have never yet smelt powder, and who cannot be sent to Washington for want of firearms. The great army of the Potomac suffers for want of blankets as well as of shoes, and the men, having nothing to do, sell their bullets and ammunition to suttlers and camp followers for surreptitious and execrable whisky. Tne surgeons, who are required in enormous numbers after every battle, are such bungling apprentices in the art that they kill by their ignorance a full half of the wounded men, who, if more skilfully treated, might survive, and resort to amputation in hundreds of unnecessary cases with appalling recklessness. The volunteers, having spent their bounty money, and heard or read in the interval of the surgical atrocities com mitted, desert or skedaddle at the first opportu nity, until, in one famous lash brigade, that has not yet been to battle, the numbers in camp do not amount to one-half of those who have received bounty during the last six weeks. The pay of Gen. M'Clellan's army alone is said to be in arrear to the extent of 50,000,000 dole., and many regiments have not received a cent since the Ist of June. Of course all these facts, and they are not the worst that can be alleged, would be denied if they were put forward on the sole authority of some correspondent, or of any other person not an Ameri can, but they are notorious enough to find their way into the New York daily papers and to form topics of conversation in every society. A correspondent of the New York limes, dating from the head quarters of the army of the Potomac the day before yesterday, says,— "The morale of our soldiers is not what it has been. I hardly care to give the detailed revelations that would justify this averment, but the fact is owned by all who have the opportunity of judging. • . . . Plunder, liceace, abandonment of self-respect, and general demoralisation are sufficiently wide spread in the army to be alarming. And these are aggravated by ill s w hi c h A mer i can so ldi ers s h ou ld not be c a ll e d upon to bear. Many are deficient in clothin g , the cold in the miserable open • s n h i ° g e l : tt a wind si a s e w l t e e e r , p s a and s w h l v l e . r bThousands s tentes d'abr i , through which have not yet received the knapsacks they left be hind on transports on landing, and the Governe m m e b n a t rk h i a n s g no a t t yHetasroripsponli'esd them with others..... Higher up there are other and more perilous elements at work. Among those 1 , places, rankly. feuds, Probably never, o a u n t d of animosities f opera singers, were there such bicke r i ngs and heart burnings as exist among our Gen era l off i cers. It is always the case where an abundance of we ll- matched flourishin high mediocrity is brought together without any mind of commanding superiority to subordinate these petty differences. I know not what far-back subtle in fluences have been at work, but all patriotism seems eaten out of the heart of the regular army men, . An able officer said to me the other d a y NlClellan is magnificent up to a certain point ; but at that point his mind seems to lose its momen tum.' .. . . Yet all (the army) reel—it is useles s to deny it—that no man better than he has yet shown himself ; no man even as good as he. It is a pathetic state, this, we are in." The correspondent of the World, wr iting on the same day from the same place, is equally out spoken : " Close observation with impartial feelings has con vinced me of severa l thi ngs concern i ng the spirit of our officers and men, which, however unpleasant 1 to contemplate and believe, is nevertheless so true, and so directly the result of our military blunder 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 hare 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 sore, 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. M'Clellan and Gen. Hal leck 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, if they do understand, they very often disapprove. Perhaps, however, the inaction of the army is more nearly at an end than they suppose, and M'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 poco-curanrism. He is declared to be always behind time, to have lost th, , battie of Pittsburg Landing by his indifferentism, and to have wilfully, if not treason bly, 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 corn. 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 ail 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-meney to Irishmen and Germans, and to newly arrived emigrants. In Pennsylvania it has taken a shape much mere 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 return 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 Nev 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 They know so little of their own people, and so much less of the South, and they so enormously over-estimate 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 bound on Wednesday, but only to allow it to mount up again on the same day, after a series of violent fluctuations, to nearly its former position. To day it stood at the close of business at 32 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 this time, it is the 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 party increase in a corresponding ratio. Next to Mr. Vallandigham, defeated i❑ 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 Oongress—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 then the non success of his armies and the incompetency of his generals.

COURT OF DIVOWIE. (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;taininell by Mr. kluddleston, Q.C., for the respondent- 4 am Sint: 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 Wed din g. That Wrie the first time I ever saw Mr. Glen nie. My sister had been living at Mrs. Di , bb . s's Brompton. Walton Villas, rompton. I wag ng 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 London. I saw very little of her. I had seen Mr. Glerinie's portrait and heard his name mentioned tour or five years ago. the 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 not proper to have him coming to the hotrse l for I thought it very imprudent in Mr. Glennie 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 regarded Mr. Bowles as a mutual friend, for he had been very kind to Bella. It re ferred to some false reports which had been circu lated ae he feared for the purpose of creating a cold ness between him and his wife, but he observed that their trust in each ether and in God was too strong to be affected by Etch calumnies.] I re member my sister going one night to the 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 tanuary, because I was in the house alone, my mother and younger sister being at Bow. My sister came at half pan eleven at ,night, and went away early in the morning—eat nine or per haps before. When she came a lady and gentle , man were with her, but 1 did not see who they were. Sic slept with rn., and went ayeay 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 oat on the pre vious Saturday (the 4th). Mr. Glennie Left my -inter at Peoge on a Wednesday. I had been there on the day previous. I batieve they slew. 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 marri tge I Sa* him with her two or three times before the wedding. Cross-examined by Mr. K trsl. ke, Q.C.(for the petitioner)—l am eighteen years of age. My sister formerly lived with an aunt in Scotland, bur. I was with my mother in London. When she came to London I believe she at first stayed at my mothers;' 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 awe; 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. On the 4th of January I had gone to bed at ten, and I was caned 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 Fulham 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 the 7th January. At that time I was living in Oxford-street. Cross-examined—The gentleman and I have now apartments in the same house. We are still keep ing company. I had known Mrs. Glennie about two years. I have never been to her mother's ex cept on that one occasion. We had met her in Piccadilly at half-past nine. I don't hnow Mr. Bowles; but I have seen him. He was pointed out to me 'op 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 God ward—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 ir wls her sister. Cross-examined—l have not commenced business very long. i was fir it asked to come here in June last. Dine Poly, of 23, Bedtordbury. charwoman and flower •seller—l know Mis 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. Bowies at Mrs. Dibbs's. It was just before she got married. She we'll by the name of 13,11,4 Howard. Mr. Glennie came the same afternoon. Sne was still in bed with Mr. Bowles when he came. Mrs. Glennie bad 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 Mr. Karslake—Do you see Mr. Bowles now ? Witness—Yes, sir; it is that gentleman (point ing to one in quite a 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 Mi. Bowles and Mr. Glennie lived. On one occasion Walter asked Bella if she had been out . 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 Mr. Bowles, but that she should have some to-mor row. Mr. Glennie turned sulky and went to bed. Saw Bella one Friday niw t slip some money into Walter's hand and say, " That's what I promised you." One night he said to her " You'd better send that little chap (meaning witness) home, , Mr. Bowle s is quite enough to keep you company.' Cross-examined—All this took place at Pimlico. Witness went there during the aThristrnas holidays. Mr. Danit l Parrott, of 25, Victoria-grove, lodg ing-house keeper—l know Mr. and Mrs. Glennie. They lodged at my house from Oct. 7 to the 11th of November last. I know Mr. Bowles. He came to visit them several times. He was once or twice 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 ber husband had left ber at Penge. In Octo ber I called at the house, and M r. G lennie 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." Then he turned round to his wife and said, " Bella, Tom will take care of %. ou." We went to public -house ann had some sherry. He said he knew he ought to ask my forgivenese, ior he hid st . tintei both eigaiest G a d end rne. I told min that as he had in , irriet; ray siNt,..r I would let hygoees 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 plat life. I said, too, that I had heard that they were still in th e h a bi t o f meet i ng th e i r 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. I offered to take them to live with me at B ,w, but I wanted to know who the man was that he had left with her. He said it was a gentleman who had kept Bella w i t h h i m before they were married. I ob served that if that was the case, he was going very rum way to work. He replied he could notwas 'ow Bella of her old friends; and B He said as t ~ -h, only on - thqt she ever , uw- Bella was very fond of him,and that he would hate married her only he (Qlennie) was the best looking chap of the two. (Laughter.) He also remarked 1 that. Tom Bowles was a stunning fellow, and bad 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, " Wel, if you come down to Bow I'll have no Tom Bowles there." (Laughter.) Cross-ex imined—Have been a gardener all my life; except that I once went to India as a purser. went to see about laying out a place for Sir lannetjat: J ejeebhoy. I have been unfortunate in business, an d hb : ve been in Whitecross-street pri son. I have bad my ;:resent business about four years. I refused to see my b Lgter till she was mar ried—at least I would have seen h my self, but my wife viould not. My interview the peti tioner lasted about four hours. Mr. Cirenni.: was "getting on" a little. A very little seenaec f ry tf4k, 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 sage—" I find, to my sorrow, that Bella had ac cepted the loan of Rutherford's brougham, or rather that he 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. I suppose he is now nettled at her taking no notice of him. . . If you will send me back the bills I will do my best to pay them." Atcheson, the porter at Palace-chambers, recalled for the petitioner, said the hall door was not fastened till 6 o'clock in the winter and 8 in the summer. 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. Huddleston then addressed the Court, con tending that the alibi had been satisfactorily made out ; and also that whatever the conduct . t f the wife might have been, the husband had deliberately con nieed at and condoned it. The Queen's Advocate followed on the same side, insistimit, 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-trespondent. The account she g ,ve of the transaction was, that she had gone to visit her sick mother, whereas it turned cut that the mother was not that day at Fulham at all. There could not he the least, doubt that adultery had been committed over a►ai over again at. Palace-chambers. As to the t-le Of eon lan &tom, L,J rca! evidence had been given in support of it. Neither had there been any satis factory proof of culpable carelessness on the part of the husoand. Mr. Bowles was no doubt an in timate ft iend of the petitioner, but no ground had been show❑ for surmising that. he (the husband) was wilfully blind to the manner in which the co•tespondent 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 was in the co respondent's bedroom when the chambermaid went into the other apartment to light the fire. Whether 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 any knowledge of the terms on which the respondents had lived before the marriage ; for he really could not place any confidence , n the evidence of the flower woman. fhe view which the court had taken was confirmed by the letter of Jan. 17 ; for why should Mr. thermic, 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 P 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 he had done anything to forfeit the remedy which , the law gave him. There must therefore be a thcree 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. Decree nisi with costs. FROM 71IE GAZETTE OF LAST EVENING. W R OFFICE, Nov. 7. 1034 Regiment of Foot—Major-General Joseph Hale, Bombay Army, to be Colonel.
