This morning a lady waited upon his Honour to make an application of considerable importance to employes in the Post-office. Applicant—My husband was summoned to serve on a July Mend-;y, and in consequence of his absence your honour inflicted a fine of 40s. New, my husband is em ployed in the Post.office, and he is, by virtue of such em ployment, exempted from serving on juries. His Honour—How long has he held his appointment? Applicant— Seventeen years. I told the officer who left the summons all about it. Ills Honour--Your husband has a paper every year tell ing him what course to pursue. Ho ought to get his name taken off the list. Applicant—l am sure he will do so. His Honour—.l must hold that your husband is exempted, and I will remit the fine.

Sd., balance of an account, Mr. Beard appearing for the plain tiffs, and Mr. Buchanan for the defendant. Mr. Buchanan admitted all the items in plaintiff's ac count, but the defendant never gave any orders, nor did he receive the goods. Mr. Beard—l produce printed orders bearing the signa tures " S. S." Defendant—Those signatures are not mine, but I have my suspicions, and a person has absented himself. His Honour—You should communicate confidentially with Messrs. Hill. After having communicated with defendant, Mr. Beard said it would be impossible to press the case after defen dant's evidence, and he would elect to be non-suited. Costs allowed. POLICE -THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.—ROEBERY AT A PlirsicrAN's.—Mary Smith, address refused, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a silver inkstand, of the value of £l6, from the study of Dr. Arthur Leered, of 12, Old Burlington-street. Mr. James Jewis, jun., defended the prisoner, James Jeanes, footman to Dr. Leared, said that on the previous afternoon, about 20 minutes past three, the pri soner came to the house, and inquired for Dr. Leered. Ho told the prisoner the doctor -was not at home, but as she wanted to see hint very particularly, he showed her into the study. While laying the cloth for dinner in the dining room, the prisoner came out of the study and asked him for a newspaper. He gave her ene, and after she had again sat down for about two minutes she came out and asked if Dr. Leered had come in. He told ber that he had not, and she then said that she would wait no longer, and at the same moment an ink bottle fell from under her shawl or cloak. Upon this she exclaimed, "Oh, I've dropped a bottle," and walked back into the study, and while doing so he (witness) heard the rattle of the ink bottle against the inkstand, which she had no doubt got under her cloak. As soon as she got into the study he closed the door upon her and sent for the police, and charged her with stealing the inkst an d . __ _ Dr. Leared said the inkstand was of the value of £l6. In answer to Mr. Lewis, the first witness stated that the prisoner did not say that she would go and put the ink bottle back, having caught it up with her dress. Mr. Knox asked the footman whether the inkstand was in the usual place when he entered the room after securing the prisoner, and received an answer in the affirmative. Fenn, 75 C, said that prisoner told him she met a woman in the street who told her to go to the doctor's, and say that he was wanted at No. 12, Grosvenor-place, but that she did not know the woman. Barns, the gaoler, said the prisoner was the constant associate of thieves, and had been several times at the court, but he was not aware then whether she had been convicted. Mr, Knox remanded the prisoner for a week. ALLEGED STREET OUTRAGE — Archibald Thompson, a young man, was charged with violently assaulting Mr, J. Hills, hay salesman, of Old Wharf, Abingdon-street, while in Oxford-street, the pre'ious evening. Mr. Beard prosecuted. Mr. Hills was walking along Oxford-street, the previous night, when the prisoner went up to him and asked him the way to a barber's. Mr. Hills made some answer, and the prisoner then said, " I'll show you the - Garotte system," and put his arm round Mr. Hills' neck. Mr. Hills, being a peaceful man, pushed the prisoner away, but he again at tacked Mr. Hills, who then secured him, and a constable, Topp, 38 D, coming up, prisoner was given into custody. In answer to Mr. Knox both Mr. Mils and the constable said the prisoner had been drinking. Prisoner said that he had been out all day drinking, and that he was insulted by complainant. Mr. Knox said he considered the prisoner's act more tn.e, of a drunken foona. Luau the alAjaiin6 tano. Ile had been drinking, and had got hold of a man far too powerful for him. Mr. Beard said that the prisoner lived at 252, Oxford street, and yet asked a stranger for a barber's. To say the least the prisoner's conduct was calculated to create alarm at the present time. Mr. Knox said he should not send the prisoner for trial, but he should order him to pay the highest fine, namely, £5. THAMES. GAROTTING A BURGLAR.--EXTRAORDINARY William Granger, a strong and determined-looking man, aged 22 years, described as a labourer, and having no occu pation, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with bur glariously breaking and entering the Dock House Tavern, in the East India-road, Bromley, and stealing therein 15 shillings, 15 sixpences, 6s 3id in coppers, a bag, 2 tabl,l - and a napkin, the property of Mr. John Pritchard, an old and much respected licensed victualler, whose right hand was much swollen and contused. Mr. Selfo, looking at the police-sheet, told the prosecu tor after he was sworn that he could not compliment him on his penmanship. He could not make out the prosecu tor's name or the name of his house. The prosecutor, John Pritchard, Dock House tap—Look here, sir, at my hand. I cannot write to-day after garott ing that fellow. Mr. Selfe—Well, I am glad to hear that a burglar has been garotted. Mr. Pritchard—Last night I fastened up my house in the usual manner at a quarter before twelve o'clock, and went to bed. At half-past one o'clock this morning I was awoke by a noise, and listened. I thought it was the cat or dog, but when I listened again I heard the money being taken out of the till, and was satisified that no cat or dog could do that. I then hastened into the bar and discovered the prisoner delibe rately emptying the till. I sprung upon him and seized him by the neck and regularly garotted him. Ho was quite insensible, and I handed him over to the police. My son, who is a volunteer, came down stairs with his musket and bayonet, and if there had been a half dozen of them we should have been a match for them. Mr. Selfe—What did you lose ? Mr. Pritchard —Only 225. 6d. in silver which I left on one'of the shelves for change, 6s. 9d. worth of coppers from the till, two table cloths and a napkin. All the money and property and money was taken from him. Mr. Selfe —How did he enter your house. Mr. Pritchard—He put back the catch of a back window raised the bolt, and opened it. He knew well the ways of my house, for he was in my service twelve months. The Prisoner, on being asked if he would give his ad dress, replied that he lived in Kilburn. Mr. Selfe—What brought you to this end of London ? MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK-LANE. :errns. The Prisoner—l have lodgings at 47, Robinhood-lane, Mr. Selfe—l shall commit you for trial next Friday, when you shall be brought up again. You are now re manded. SHIPPING-THIS DAY.

THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.- Wo are informed, on the best authority, that the marriage of the Prince of Wales is to take place in March, not April, as has been stated. It will, therefore, be in Lent. We understand that the Queen regrets very much, and is de sirous that her people sho uld be aware that she regrets, that it should be so ; but we he ar that th ere are reasons of state which make it most undes irable that it should bo longer delayed. The Queen will take care, however, that part of that seam" — j o a t n. during the more solemn MR. GLADS7ONE AND PROFESSOR NEWMAN ON AXERICA. -4> The following► correspondence has been handed to us for publication : " 11, Carlton House Terrace, Dec. 1, 1862. "My dear Sir,—l am sure you will receive indulgently a comment I have to make on a statement in your recent letter on American affairs, touching a matter not of opinion but of fact. " I have never to my knowledge expressed any sympathy with the Southern cause, in any speech at Newcastle or elsewhere, nor have I passed any eulogium on President Davis. In dealings, whether with South or North, I have thought it out of my province to touch in any way the com plicated question of praise or blame. " Perhaps I should end here; but I cannot avoid add ing, that I think myself a much better friend to the Northern Americans, if it is not presumptuous to use the phrase, than those who have encouraged and are encou raging them to persevere in their hopeless and destructive enterprise. Among these lof course assign to you the prominent place, merited alike by your distinguished powers and your undoubted sincerity.—Believe me, my dear sir, faithfully yours, W. E. GLADSTONE. "To Professor Newman." (Reply.) "My dear Sir,—l am honoured, and was at first embar rassed, by your kind communication ; embarrassed by some uncertainty whether to answer it from a private or from a public point of view. If the matter belonged to a crisis already past, my obvious and simple way would be thank fully to acknowledge your unexpected and kind mention of me—to regret if I had misunderstood you—and express my satisfaction that you do not like to be thought to sympathise with the detestable cause of the South. "But, in the first place, I need to send your disavowal to the Star, that your contradiction may appear in the columns which inserted what you regard as my erroneous statement. In the next, I painfully remember that the crisis, which for America (I trust) is fast passing, is for England only at its commencement. Most glad should I be if political questions could be wholly impersonal. But even if I lead your near friendship, instead of a slight acquaint ance (which through your affability has justified me in occasional communication on a very few matters), still the vast importance of the future relations between England and England's greater progeny would forbid me to indulge in the pleasure of a yielding reply. It is a terrible fact, that that conduct of English statesmen for which you have been represented as claiming high moral credit is at this moment goading both North and South into hatred against us. I see no chance of allaying the malignant elements which the upper classes of England have stirred up without much plain speaking, with little care whom we offend. The seeds of an unnatural and dreadful war have been sown. The plague is not yet stayed. Pirate ships are yet about to issue from Liverpool. The Government which was so active about Hale's rockets, and would not allow arms to be sent to noble Hungary, shows no signs of activity when succour in the most odious form and most damaging to the fair fame of England is to be sent to that slave power with which the late tyranny of Naples was respectable and endurable. You first earned honour with me by your de nunciations of that tyranny when no other public man spoke. Much should I have rejoiced to see in you a strong heart of righteousness, able to stem the tide of contemp• tibia national jealousy. "I read your Newcastle speech with great pain —I will not say with surprise; for in a previous speech the papers had represented you as reiterating, after six months, Earl Russell's monstrously untrue epigram, that the North is fighting for dominion, the South for independence. This I supposed to be meant as an encouragement to the South, and a gratuitous display of sympathy with it. Your Newcastle speech was, I believe, universally understood as intended to feel the way towards the recognition of the South by England. The words in it which most impressed me were, first, the declaration (which you were repre sented to have made) that you expected the liberation of the slaves by their own masters sooner than from the North. This was said after the emancipation of the slaves in Columbia; after the Territories had been legislatively secured to freedom; after Con gress had offered pecuniary aid to emancipation, after the President had implored rebels to accept in due time the terms offered ; finally, after he had announced the day upon which the offer was to be withdrawn, and uncom pensated liberation enforced. The Southern papers bitterly complain of the vast number of slaves freed by the Northern armies. To none of these things do you allude (unless the papers astonishingly belied you), but you are made to say, 'Jefferson Davis and the other leaders of the South have made an army; they are soon, I understand, to have a navy; but, gentlemen I they have made what is more than either—they have made a nation "I certainly understand this as applause for a great and noble work; whether the fact affirmed be true is a sepa rate question. Prudence sometimes imperatively enjoins silence on public men, when humble persons may usefully be open-mouthed. Ido not claim that English statesmen shall denounce all the guilt of all Governments. But when a power, comparable only to Thugs, buccaneer, and canni bals, tries to thrust its hideous head among nations, and claims the protection an privileges of international law—a power wne.b on earth. for the avowed motive of propagating the worst form of slavery ever known—having no legitimate complaint, or, if it had, cer tainly trying no constitutional means of redress, but, plung ing at once into arms, and that when the arsenals had been emptied, and the fortresses seized by the treason of office holders—l hold it to be an offence against law, order, and public morality for a statesman whose words carry weight to speak at all of such a power without declaring abhorrence of it; or, at least, to speak in such a tone that he can for a moment be suspected of desiring its success. " No one will believe that it is the policy of an English Ministry to encourage insurrection, ;Its such. They must have some urgent reason for it. The party now fostered by them (not, 1 thankfully add, at all to the extent which the elite of London, would have desired, but still, as no insurrectionists in the very best cause were ever before fostered), this party of insurgents has no moral claims, even if there were no North. All the world, therefore, inevitably believed that England has been actuated by an intense desire to see the destruction of the Union, and that every other pretext is hypoc risy. We have to clear ourselves of the dreadfully plausible imputation of having desired an opportunity of war at the time of the outrage on the Trent. In the letter with which you now honour me you say that you count yourself a better friend to the North than I am, in that you do not encourage it to a hopeless and destructive enter prise.' To pronounce it hopeless and destructive is to en courage and almost to justify the rebels. On no previous occasion have English statesmen taken on themselves to prejudge the ability of a friendly Government to put down insurrection. lam in high hope that the righteous cause will be blessed by a righteous God, since its upholders are at length in earnest.—l have the honour to be, sincerely yours, " FRANcis W. NEWMAN. " Dee. 4, 1862. " To the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, &c." The supply of home-grown wheat on sale here to• day was sma►l. Good and fine parcels moved off steadily at full currencies; otherwise, the trade ruled inactive on former There was a good show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands, and the demand for all descriptions was in a sluggish state at about previous rates. Floating cargoes of grain met a slow sale at late quota tions. Good and fine barley ruled firm, and prices were well supported. Inferior parcels, however, changed hands slowly at unaltered rates. About an average business was transacted in malt at late rates. With oats the market was tolerably well supplied, and the trade ruled inactive on former terms. Beans and peas were in fair average request at full prices Most kinds of flour changed hands to a moderate extent, and the quotations ruled firm. ARRIVALS THIS NVIIER. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held at its house, John-street, Adelphi—Thos. Chapman, Esq., F.R.S., V.P., in the chair. There were also present Sir Edward Perrott, Bart., V.P. ; Admiral Washington, F.R.S. ; Capt. A. P. Ryder, R.N., pri vate secretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty; Admiral Gordon, Alexander Boetefour, Esq., Admi ral Bullock, Capt. Ward, R.N., inspector of lifeboats to the institution ; and Richard Lewis, Esq., the secretary. An interesting communication was read from the Hon. C. F. Adams, the American Minister at this Court, stating, in reference to the valuable services rendered by the Lytham and Southport lifeboats of the institution, in rescuing a few - weeks ago the crew of 18 men of the ship Annie E. Hooper, of Bal timore, United States, that he had been instructed by the President of the United States of America to present £lOO in his name to the National Life boat Institution, and £3l to the crews of the life boats in addition to the rewards, amounting to £l5 10s. previously granted to them by the society, The committee expressed their high appreciation of the munificence of President Lincoln in this case. A reward of £4 was given to the crew of the in stitution's lifeboat stationed at Padstow, for their laudable exertions in putting off and rescuing, under perilous circumstances, the crew of four men of the sloop Loftus, of Padstow, which, during very thick weather, was wrecked off that place on the 9th ult. The vessel could hardly be seen by the life boat's crew. However, they pushed on through the heavy fog. The life boat reached the vessel and took off her crew of four men, who were afterwards safely brought on shore. Mr. Shea, the officer of coast-guard, was on board the lifeboat on this as on many previous occasions, and has assisted in her in saving 25 lives. With the special permission of the late Prince Consort, the Padstow lifeboat is called the Albert Edward, after the Prince of Wales, who is also the Duke of Corn wall. By a singular and happy coincidence, of which some of the Cornish men are particularly proud, tho lifeboat was thus the means, under God, of saving four poor creatures from an inevitable death on the very day the Prince attained his majority —an aus picious omen, for deeds of mercy have " their vic tories no less renowned than war." A reward of £6 was also voted to the crew of the neighbouring lifoboat at Bude Haven, belonging to the society, for saving the crew of three men of the smack Mary Elizabeth, of Portleven, which, in a heavy sea on this coast, was found disabled on the 14th ult. In three-quarters of an hour she reached the wreck and took off the crew of two men and a boy. This was about a mile from the shore, oppo site a reach of sand called Widemouth Bay. A reward of £4los. was also voted to the crew of the Kirkcudbright lifeboat, for putting off and sav ing the schooner Ellen, of Liverpool, which during some heavy weather had struck on Kirkcudbright bar on the 13th ult. A reward of £ll was also voted to the crew of the Teignmouth lifeboat of the institution for say- ing, during the gale of the 18th ult., two out of three men belonging to the smack John of that place, winch all SUB livireepius rollers over her, It was stated that one of the institution's lifeboats stationed at Dundee Harbour had assisted in bring ing safely to port the schooner James Dowell, of Newcastle, which during a heavy squall became waterlogged on the night of the Ist ult. The silver medal of the society and i 3 were voted to Thomas, master of the smack Paragon, of Har wich, and 118 to his crew of six men for their long and intrepid exertions extending over three days, in rescuing, during a gale of wind and thick wea ther, four out of six persons belonging to the schooner Thrifty, of Goole, which on Oct. 19 last foundered on the Longsand. Various other rewards were also voted for saving life from shipwrecks on different parts of the coast. During the past month the institution had sent two lifeboats to the coast—one to Tynemouth, in Nor thumberland; and the other to Fleetwood, in Lanca shire. The cost of both boats had been severally pre sented to the institution by a benevolent lady and gentleman. It was reported that a contribution of £5 had been received from the late officers and crew of her Majesty's ship Alecto through Capt. H. J. Raby, R.N. Payments amounting to nearly £1,200 having made to various life-boat establishments, the pro- ceedings terminated. TIIE M1N15........-......_ TERIAL CRISIS IN ITALY. (From the Times' rCorresponclentj TURIN, DEC. 2. Whenever any seri ous danger threatens this new edifice of the constitution of the Kingdom of Italy, safety is invariably found in the keystone on which it rested from the beginning —the upright, tine, and loyal instincts of King Victor Emmanuel. Two or three times between 1849 and 1859 did the King on the one hand curb the anarchical passions of those who wished that all should be lost because all could not be saved, and as many times, on the other hand, did he resist the Promptin gs of advisers who aspired to be more monarchical than the Monarch himself. Those virtues which so greatly contributed to the " making" of Italy will now equally prevent the " marring" of it ; and, whatever blemishes either temperament or neglected education may have in grained into the King's character, there is no doubt Lis memory will go down to posterity as that of one of the noblest crown-wearers, because from the highest to the meanest of his subjects there is not one known to have given, or to be ready to give, greater proofs of self-denial and self-conquest. The Rattazzi Cabinet was at its wit's end. De feat was inevitable—a clamorous, signal defeat. The Prime Minister drew up a decree for the dis solution of the Chamber, and presented it for the Royal signature. Rattazzi was a favourite. No acts had been spared to set the King's mind against the stiff-necked Ricasoli—none to wind his supple and accommodating successor round Victor Emmanuel'a heart. But what was naw asked of the King was fraught with incalculable mischief. A general elec tion at this moment might put off, but by no means prevent, Rattazzi's downfall. The new Chamber which might have assembled under the auspices of the present Cabinet would have borne no good will to its summoner; hut its main elements would have been made up either of rampant, head-long Garibaldism, or of narrow, jarring municipalism, Neither King nor Minister would harp etrpngth to control such an assembly by ordinary legal means. Government would have been driven on from one repressive measure to another ; from a provisional budget to taxation by Royal decree; from a state of siege to dictatorship. The people would have broken out into anarchy ; tae King could have tried no other remedy than the sabre. It was on the brink of such an abyss that the wise and honest King stopped. Re was Rattazzi's ami cus usqu ad aram ; in presence of a sacred duty, Victor Emmanuel gave up his Minister. He would hear of no dissolution, and the Cabinet had to com pound with Parliament as they best could. It was a triumph of immense significance for constitutional principles in this country, so new to the system. While Rattazzi was foolishly keeping up a discus sion which could now profit no party, and talking against time, the King called to his council men whose judgment, and above all whose honour, he could trust. The merit of setting the King's heart against Rattazzi's proposal of a dissolution is due to Cassinis, formerly the Minister of Grace and Jus tice under Cavour and Ricasoli, a man on whose mature wisdom the King has the greatest reliance, and to Cialdini, a comrade whose brilliant valour in the field and whose upright and genial charac ter in the Court won the sympathies of his warlike sovereign. It was by Cassinia' advice that Cialdini was sen to Florence to invite Torrearsa to take upon him .. self the formation of a new Ministry. Torrersa shrank from the arduous task, and Cassinis pointed to Pasolini, the gentleman who filled the office of Prefect of Milan under the Ricasoli administration, and who withdrew upon the accession to power of the Rattazzi Cabinet. Of two dangers it behoves Cassinis to beware. He must lay aside his fond conceit of any possible re conciliation between Rattazzi and the men who had a hand in his late overthrow ; for, whoever else may be called to be a member of the new Administration, it is due to the feeling of morality and poetical jus tice of the people of all Italy that Rattazzi should be excluded from it, at least for a time. Cassinis should also set his heart against the suggestions of those who fancy that what is now wanted is not a " political," but merely an " administrative" Cabi net, and with that view advise a combination of AL _ , 7 * AAtAi....3 at, Alt& Ambrois, Ponza di San Martino, &c.—men whose tusk, in the opinion of these temporizing politicians, ought to be simply to keep warm the Ministerial seats, and carry on the business of the country till such time as parties may gradually define them selves, and the real leaders of the common destinies may be more clearly revealed. No, no; Italy, no doubt, requires the work of able administrators, but it must also be ruled by deep, stirring, world-grasping political heads. That there must be persons of that stamp in the country is, with many, matter of faith. San Martino, Del Ambrois, and most of the men whom the Senate might supply, are men of unexceptionable character and more than average ability. But they have long been moving in the narrow old Piedmontese groove. They have little understanding of the destinies of the new kingdom, and even less faith in it. None of them need be rejected as fellow-workers ; but the real master-mind who is to sit at the helm of the vessel of State in these stormy times is hardly to be found among them. It is a great mistake, I believe, to think there is among the rising generation of Italian statesmen no set of untried or only half-tried men capable of taking the destinies of their countrymen into their hands, and leading to better results than the timid, plod ding, used-up veterans who have served their time, and are now fit for little better than being put upon the shelf. There is hardly a man who might better try to conduct the Home-office of the Italian King dom, either as Minister or Secretary-General than Silvio Spaventa ; and, as it would now be a wise thing to promote deserving Neapolitans and Sici lians, there is no reason why Pisanelli should not have the portfolio of Grace and Tastice, Michele Amari or Paolo Emilio Imbriani that of Public In struction, and Lacaite. the Under-Secretaryship of Foreign Affairs. Among the Lombards, Restalli, Tenca, Pasini, Mosca, and others, may be looked upon as men of sterling practical talent. Of the Tuscans, Cini would be a capital Secretary-General for Finances, supposing that the portfolio of that most important department should turn out to be held by Minghetti. All of these, and many more whom I could name, may be comparatively new men in the estimation of Englishmen, but they are at least no less known in this country than was Cavour at the outset of his career in 1848. The retiring ministers have just put forth their batch of senators—Capriolo, the late Secretary- General for Home Affairs ; Melegari, the Foreign Under-Secretary ; Valerio, the Prefect of Como ; Emanuele Marliani, the late Commercial Envoy to England ; and Paolo Savi, a distinguished professor of natural history at Pisa. PUGILISM. THE CHAMPIONSHIP. Tom KING AND JEM MACE.—The stakes (£400) and the belt for the late contest between these celebrated boxers were presented to King yesterday evening at Mr. W. Richardson's, the Blue Anchor, Church-street, Bethnal green, in the presence of an overflowing muster of the patrons of the ring. Mace, from unavoidable circumstances, was not present, there being an apology made for his ab sence by Mr. Montague, his agent. After the stakes and belt had been presented to King in due form by Mr. Holt, who officiated on the part of the stakeholder, it was stated by the gentlemen who presented King with the stakes, that King did not intend to again enter the ring, having pro mised his friends at the making of the match that, win or lose, he would not again do so. King having given the stakeholder a guarantee for £lOO will hold the belt until Thursday next, when, as he has positively declined to maintain his right against all challengers by not making a match with Mace, he will return that trophy to the editor of Bell's Life. Under these circumstances the belt will be an open prize, under the same conditions as after the battle between Heenan and Sayers on the 17th of April, 1860. King, after he had been presented with the stakes, made a collection for the loser,which amounted to £lB, Tom giving £6 ; Mr. Bush, King's principal backer, £.5; Mr. Richard son also putting down a fiver for the loser.Aftrthbeybuthste ness had been concluded, a social evening was spent friends of the present Champion of England.
