THE INDIAN AND AUSTRALIAN TELEGRAPH.— We gather the following details from Mr. Gisborne's me morandum of his proposal to connect Australia by a line of telegraph with the eastern extremity of the island of Java. The whole distance from Java to Moreton Bay is 3,024 nautical miles, being 50 miles more than the proposed line from Ad, nto Kurrachee. The estimated cost is £100,000., being the same as the estimate for the last-mentioned line. This sum Mr. Gisborne proposes to divide among the colo nies in the following proportion, viz., Victoria 58 5-16 per cent. ; New South Wales 2212-16 ; South Australia 7 4-16; New Zealand 5 11.16 ; Tasmania 5 5-16 ; and Western Australia 10-16. The new colony of Queensland is not included, but, if nothing occurs to prevent the intended separation, that colony will be able to bear a fair proportion of the above divisions, as Moreton Bay is likely to derive great benefits from the undertaking if carried out—Aus tralian and A r m Zealand Gazette, THE SON, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING; DECEMBER 27, 1859.

At the Westminster Police Court this day, the ad journed proceedings in this case were again proceeded with. Mr. Sleigh, as formerly, appeared for the Hon: Mr. Rowley, and Mr. Metcalfe for the late Mrs. Rowley. Mr. Sleigh said since the last examination a number of letters had been found, and he thought it would be but fair to his learned friend (Mr. Metcalfe) if they were now read. Mr. Metcalfe objected. He had been tied down to the strict rule of evidence, and he should pursue the same line of conduct. The letters were not read. Mr. Rowley, in cross•examination, said—l have been for the last five weeks at my mother's residence, at Leinster lodge. I have, I know, been denied as living there, but it was not by my instructions. I took Mrs. Rowley to Lady Langford. She had with her my jewels, not hers, and an Indian shawl, for which I had given L 250. Mr. Metcalfe—Out of her money ? Witness—Oh, no; out of my own. Mr. Metcalfe—You had £2,000 with her. Witness—And she has had £7,000 of mind for it. Mr. Metcalfe—l shouldlike to know where it came from. Witness—l'll tell you if you like. While we were at Lady Langford's we quarrelled very much. I will swear I never forcibly hold Mrs. Rowley down in a chair and held my hand over her mouth to prevent her screaming. Mr. Motcalfe—Re careful; you have written a letter on the subject. Witness—l swear that I never put my hand over her mouth and hold her down in a chair, whatever I may have written. Mr. Metcalfe—/ will read your letter. Mr. Rowley—You can do so. I once had a serious quarrel with her because she took up a knife to stab my mother. The letter was then read ; it was dated December, 1854. It was addressed to Mrs. Bishop, and was couched in very strong language, and it went on to state that the writer once held his wife down in a ohair to prevent her doing something very dreadful. Witness---I should think stabbing my mother was some thing dreitdkl. Mr. Metcalfe—The letter was written in December. Although it was written in such endearing terms, you were then on terms of intimacy with Mrs. Green. Witness—ln the latter end of 1854, not the time you state. Mr. Metcalfe—l never said the 14th. Mr. Orridge—lt is important from the circumstance that the intimacy of Mrs. Green is sworn to as then commenc ing. Mr. Metcalfe—l prefer: the written testimony of Mr. Rowley to anything you can say. I produced a book at the last examination in which Mr. Rowley dated his inti macy with Mrs. Green as in June, 1854. Witness—You know that is a mistake, and you are stat ing that which you know to be false. Mr. Metcalfe—l must ask the Court to direct the witness to answer the questions, and not be so insulting. Mr. Paynter—Mr. Rowley, I must impress upon you the necessity of refraining from using offensive expressions to wards Mrs. Rowley, and to answer the questions of the learned counsel. Mr. Metcalfe—Referring to the circumstances at Ber keley-street—Will you swear that when you stated in your last examination that you shut the pianoforte down you did not slam the front of the instrument down on your wife's hand while she was playing. Witness—Yes, I will. Mr. Metcalfe—Do you deny that you shut the instru ment down Witness—Oh, no., I certainly shut it down. Mr. Metcalfe—When your wife fell on the floor did you refuse to pick her up P Witness—l dare say I did. Its very likely. Mr. Metcalfe—Now referring to the proceedings at the Divorce Court. Witness—l deny as you have stated that I was peeping through the curtain when the petition for divOrce was being heard. Mr. Metcalf—l shall be ablo to prove that you did so by witnesses. Witnesses—Very likely —your witnesses can tell lies. [We shall continuo the case in our late edition.] _POLICE INTEL LIG ENCE-( DAY.) LITBRATU.R.E. lore Letters of Eminent Persons. Charles Martel. Edited by There is always a strong degree of interest at tached to a "tender correspondence," when the parties concerned are such individuals as Lady Wortley Montague and Alexander Pope, Dean Swift and Vanessa, Burns and Clarinda, Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton, Goethe and Betti ne , Heloise and Ab e l ar d, and others of equal celebrity. For our own part we somewhat agree with our great poet when he said, " Men have died from time to time and worms have eaten them ; but not for love ; " nevertheless we should like to have a peep at the epistles which passed between Wiliam Shakespeare and Ann Hathaway in their days of courtship. Love-letters, in the average, are mere epistolary , bon-bons—spoonsful of caligraphic treacle, form ing the indispensabl e me di um f or t h e conveyance of matrimonial brimstone, and few of us would care to have our bygone quires of Cupid's " Foolscap" pub lished, though at the time when we filled them with the glowing, burning, ardent, apostrophes to " beloved Alfred," or " darling Louisa," we deemed them of more importance than a Magna Charta scroll or a sweeping Reform Bill ; still we readily admit that the volume we have just laid down ex hibits some engrossing and choice spechtlens of the language of passion and affection. The lively talent of Ninon de l'Enclos, the noble sentiments of Heloise, the fervid eloquence of Julia de Lel pinasse are admirable illustrations of the different phases of feminine love; while the playful epistles of Napoleon, the intense devotion of Klopstock, and the tender delicacy of Goethe are striking exam- Ws of masculine feelings. P ope ' s l etters to L ady Wortley Montague have sadly disappointed us : they are couched in flimsey sentences containing little else than far-fetched conceits, extravagant compliments, and " high heroic fustian," but those of Lady Montague to her husband evince practical good sense, truthful candour, and a noble self-sacri fice for the object of her lore, which impresses the reader with an elevated estimate of her head and heart. The volume contains much which renders it attractive to all who have participated in the weakness that compelled Marc Anthoiy to risk his crown, and Sam Weller to undergo the hard labour of writing a valentine. It is likely, therefore, to have a few readers. Discourses by William Anderson, L.L.D. Ber tram, Argyle-street, Glasgow. We find much in these sermons to demand notice, for they possess the elements of sound Chris tianity exhibited in the attractive garb of original thought and free discussion. No startling bursts of eloquence or imposing metaphors are set forth— no Spurgeonitish denunciations, redolent of terrible words and awful threats, are poured out; but every text is treated in a manner that must exercise a beneficial influence on hearer or reader—conveying consolation, enlightenment, rebuke, or encourage ment to duty, as may be most needed. Some home truths are dwelt on with forcible aptitude, touch ing the reprehensible habits of daily life, and the unworthy tone of thinking which mars so much of human happiness and professed religion. We can not do better than offer an extract from an ad mirable discourse on " Uncharitable Judgments," and express our honest opinion that the author is a man who is an honour to his calling, and a true minister of Good— "Reflect, that to cherish a charitable frame of spirit, and cultivate a candid frame of speech, is our greatest wisdom, in respect either of inward peace or outward comfort. "First, Inward peace. What a miserable existence a suspicious temper occasions a man I It utterly incapaci tates him for friendship, through the ever-recurring reflec tion, quenching any rising emotion of natural genial fellow ship, that he is possibly deceived, and practised on by his companions ;—that the world being so full of guile, the best prudence is to have doubts of every man you meet; and treat with a large measure of reserve even your most inti mate acquaintance—even yeur wife, if, unfortunately, you happen to have been bound to one. It is a dangerous al liance—beware of communicativeness. With a correspond ing reserve, every one necessarily learns to treat him. He defies familiarity. So he passes through life without any enjoyment of one of its sweetest pleasures—hearty social intercourse, and the intimate sympathies of friendship. Ah, rather resign yourself to a foolish promiscuous confiding in every man with whom you may fall in by the way, though You should suffer a little by it, than have your life soured by a universal, misanthropical distrust of your species. It renders you disagreeable enoegh to others, but the greatest loser and sufferer is yourself. " When such is the unsatisfactory life produced by a merely suspicious disposition, what must be the misery produced by an envious one ?—when everything the sub - ject -victim sees, or hears of, that is excellent in a neigh bour, acts as a burning corrosive on his heart. We formerly heard how strikingly Solomon speaks of Envy as injurious to its object ; but, hear now, how he speaks of it as injurious to its subject; 'Envy is the rottenness of the bones.' (Prov. xiv. 30.) It is almost literally true. Just as a generous heart' (as it should be translated) is, according to the first member of the proverb, ' the life of the flesh ;' so Envy, by the manner in which it produces irritation of the nerves, feverishness of the blood, and dyspepsy of the stomach, will make a.man or woman thin and emaciated, pale and shrunk in the features, and of hard and peering eyes—most dis agreeable and pitiable to look at—ali through the consum ing rottenness within. " Secondly, Outward comfort. If candid and gentle in the treatment of others, you will rarely fail of obtaining a return of love ; but if suspiciously or enviously censorious, you will as rarely escape retaliation—when forth will be dragged to light something discreditable in your early his tory, which you imagine is forgotten, or something in your present habits, to which, you imagine, no one is privy, so as to overwhelm you with confusion and humble you to the dust. Oh that all of us would have the prudence to bridle our saucy tongues 1 or, rather, that we would all admit grace to purge our saucy hearts I How much discomfort we would be saved 1" 21118 DAY'S MARKETS.

CHARGE OF ROBBERY AGAINST ♦ MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.—SeIina Gwynn and Emily Gwynn, mother and daughter, were charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing articles of wearing apparel, &a., the property of Mr. Henry Haarnack, harp maker, of 69, Newman-street, Oxford-street. From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that the younger prisoner, Emily, had lived with him as servant for about three months. About a week ago he missed several articles of wearing apparel, &c., from different parts of the house, and in consequence consulted Lambert, 68 E, respecting his loss. The elder prisoner had been in the habit of coming to his house as charwoman. Lambert, CI E, said he took the younger prisoner into custody, and she told him that one of the articles produced, and which she was found wearing, she had bought of her mother, having taken it and thought no harm of it. He went to the house of the elder prisoner in Fitzroy market, and amongst other duplicates found one relating to a table-cloth, which she admitted belonged to the pro secutor, and which she said she had taken through dis tress. The prosecutor said he missed a clock the last time the elder prisoner worked at his house. Mr. Beadon said he should remand the prisoners for further inquiries to be made. BoxiNG-DAY.—A. large number of cases of drunken ness were disposed of p the offenders being in most cases fined ss. each. THAMES. STEALING A. GOOSE.—William Brown, a rough-looking youth, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a goose, the property of a gentleman named Stabbing. The robbery was detected, and the prisoner brought to justice by a young man named George Payne, a shoemaker, who has been instrumental in bringing many thieves to this court, and has rendered much service to the police. His praiseworthy conduct has rondered him a terror to evil doers, and his life has been repeatedly threatened by des perate characters. In this case Payne saw the prisoner and another lad following a horse and chaise along the Mile-end road. The prisoner attempted to remove a parcel from the chaise several times between North-street and Jubilee-street, and at last he took a large goose from the back of the chaise, and was running away with it when Payne rushed upon him and soon made him his pri soner. The goose was also recovered, although the pri soner's confederate made a desperate effort to seize it, and repeatedly struck Payne. It also appeared that a parcel of grocery was lost from the same chaise-cart, but whether before or after the goose was stolen could not be ascertained. The goose was produced, and identified by the owner. The prisoner, in defence, said that a boy gave him the goose. . _ . Mr. Selfe—Not very likely. I sentence you to one month's imprisonment and hard labour fur the unlawful possession of the goose. WI7E-BEATING.—James Middleton, a strange-looking old man, with an enormous beard and moustache, who was described as a coal-dealer, of No. 6, liarien-row, White chapel-road, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with being drunk and assaulting Harriet, his wife. The prisoner is a dissipated ill-tempered fellow, and has been more than once charged with cruelty to his wife, but been released on his entering into sureties for his good be haviour or in consequ►nce of his wife declining to appear against him. Last night he came home drunk and threatened to butcher his wife, and beat her severely. Her screams brought a police constable named Alder to the spot, who took the prisoner into custody. Mr. Selfe sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprison meat and hard labour, and said that the next time he as saulted his wife his sentence would be six months' im prisonment. It is said the French Government has appointed a military governor to the newly-acquired territory at Zoulla, on the coast of Abyssinia.' Model houses likewise aro being constructed, and all the materiel is being prepared for the occupation of that maritime position. A naval commission, of which Admiral Paris is President, has been appointed to ascertain the possibility of saving the screw ship-of-the-line Duguesclin, now on shore near Brest. In the meantime her guns, stores, and machi nery aro being landed. The Government of the United States has in formed Hanover that, after a certain period, it shall discon tinue to pay the Stade dues. THE DOCKYARD EMPLOYES.—CHATHAM, Dec. 25.—A handsome sum has been raised by the employes of this dockyard for the purpose of presenting testimonials to Lieut.-General Sir J. M. F.

HOWARD ON OUR RELATIONS WITH FRANCE.—At the dinner of the " South Durham and North Yorkshire Fat Stock and Poultry Society," Mr. P. H. Howard was present and proposed the health of the noble chairman, the Duke of Cleveland. lie said —" lam sure we have all beard with satisfaction the excellent remarks which have fallen from the noble chairman. He says that although adequate preparation in the shape of defences be comes a great nation, that it would, nevertheless, be unwise at this moment to show any want of confidence in an ally who has hitherto anted loyally and faithfully to this coun try. I may venture to add in corroboration one instance of the good faith of Louis Napoleon. When the important dependency of the British Crown—when India was afflicted by an unaccountable mutiny—when the upheaving of the great insurrection was at its height, what did the Emperor of the French do? Why, gentlemen, he offered to the Administration of this country to allow our troops destined for India to quell the rebellion, to pass through the French territory, enabling them to go by rail through France, and so arrive earlier at their destination. (Cheers.) That offer was not accepted, but nevertheless such conduct in a foreign sovereign is an unusual mark of confidence. As you well know, gentlemen, some of the freest nations in the world, for instance, th e Swiss Confederation, and the United States of America, constantly exercise their popu lations in the use of arms, but they do that o n the prin ciple of insurance and not b ecau se of any want of confi dence in other nations with whom they m a y be allied , and I say if we find it necessary to arm, we should g o o d s: oil: general principle, and not upon any u,l..is aapppprlaeuh applause.) of the intentions of any given power."

The Aberdeen Free Press also states that on Saturday last, Aleander Wright, farm servant, Main o f K e mnay, perished in the snow. His body was not found till Wednesday. FORTIFICATION OF THE MUMBLES.—The im portant work of the defence of the Mumbles commanding the roadstead at Swansea Bay, has been undertaken by Go vernment, and the first steps for the erection of an efficient defensive work have just been taken. A battery of heavy guns is to be erected on the Lighthouse Island, which is completely inaccessible to an enemy, the water at half flood surrounding it with a strong current. The cost of the work will be from £6,000 to £B,OOO. [ADVERT'S gMENT.] —Holloway's Pills and Ointment.— Be Careful.—The damp and sudden changes of temperature in winter always produce colds, influenza, and catarrhal fever. Holloway's pills readily remove the first symptoms of these diseases, but when neglect has permitted them to gain a stronghold on the system, his ointment should be well rubbed twice a-day upon the back and chest; this course, perseveringly followed for a short time, will rescue many who, through their inattention, seemed doomed to serious or fatal consequences. Asthma, bronchitis, and consumption are thus prevented. The irritable chest is soothed, the cough becomes looser and less frequent, and the breathing is lengthened. The appetite returns, good digestion is rotund, briggivg with it ease, strength, and vigour. BANE RETURNS.
