THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 27, 1869, LITERATURE. Love Letters of Eminent Persons. Edited by Charles Martel. 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 Bettine, Heloise and Abelard, 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 indispensable medium for the 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 specimens of the language of passion and affection. The lively talent of Ninon de l'Enelos, the noble sentiments of Heloise, the fervid eloquence of Julia de Les 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 ples of masculine feelings. Pope's letters to Lady ' Wortley Montague have r padly disappointed us : they are couched in tlimsey 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 love, which impresses the reader with an elevated estimate of her head and heart. The volume contains much which renders it attraetive 'to all who have participated in the weakness that compelled Marc Anthony 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 aro 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 mirabls 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 year wife, it unfortunately, you happen to have been bound to ono. 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. Ab, rather resign yourself to a foolish promiscuous confiding i n every man with whom you may fall in by the way, th.ough you should suffer a little by it, than have your life soured by a universal, misanthropical distrust of your sr,Jecies. It renders you disagreeable enough to others, but the greatest loser and sufferer is yourself. " When such is the unsatisfactory /;:ie produced by a merely suspicious disposition, what 'must be the misery produced by an envious one ?—whe:a everything the sub • ect•victim sees, or hears of, the!, is excellent in a neigh bour, acts as a burning corrosive heard how strikingly on his heart. We formerly Solomon speaks of Envy as injurious to its object ; but, hear ',Low, how he speaks of it as injurious to its subject ; `En is the rottenness of the bones.' (Prov. xiv. 30 .) It is a "most literally true. just as a generous heart (as it P'aould be translated) is, according to the first member o c . the proverb, the life of the flesh ;' so Envy, by the nr.nner in which it produces irritation of the nerves, fer'aishness 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—all 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.

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. He said—" lam sure wo have all heard with 'satisfaction the excellent remarks which have fallen from the noble chairman, lle 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 acted loyally and faithfully to this coun try. I may venture to add in corroboration one instancy of the good faith of Louis Napoleon. Whon the important dependency of the British Crown—when India was afflicted by an unaecountablo mutiny—when the upheaving of the great insurrection was at its height, what did the Emperor of the French do ? Why, gentlemen, ho offered to the Administration of this country to allow cur 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 tho world, for instance, the Swiss Confederation, and the United States of America, constantly exercise their popu lations in the use of arms, but they do that on the prin ciple of insurance, and not because of any want of confi dence in other nations with whom they may be allied; and I say if we find it necessary to arm, wo should do so on a general principle, and not upon any mis-grounded specific apprehension of the intentions of any given power." (Loud applause.) DEATHS PROM EXPOSURE TO THE COLD.—The Inverness Advertiser states that the wife of a labourer at Noss Castle sawmills was found dead on Monday morning, near the river's edge. The poor woman, it appears, left Inverness on Sunday evening, and being fatigued by the state of the roads, had fallen down exhausted, and perished from the cold. The Aberdeen Free Press also states that on Saturday last, Alexandec Wright, farm servant, Main of Kenmay, 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 elected on the Lighthouse Island, which i completely inaccessible to an ene m y , the water at half flood surrounding it with a strong current. The cost of the work will be from £6,000 to £B,OOO. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —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 restored, bringing with it ease, strength, and vigour. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, eeven o'clock. THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF PERJU.RY. ROWLEY V. THE LATE MRS. ROWLEY. 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 £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 mine 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 wo quarrelled very much. I 'AR swear I never forcibly held Mrs. Rowley down in a chair and held my hand over her mouth to prevent her screaming. Mr. Metcalfe—Be careful; you have written a letter on the subject. Witness—l swear that I never put my hand over, her mouth and held her down in a chair, whatever I may have written. Mr. Metcalfe—l 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, 1851. It was addressed to Mrs. Bishop, and was couched in very strong language, mad it went on to state that tho writer once held his wife down in a chair to prevent her doing something very dreadful. Witness—l should think stabbing my mother was some thing dreadful. 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—The date is important from the circum stance that the intimacy of Mrs. Green is sworn to as then commencing. 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 Courtto 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. M.:tealfe—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 tho instrument down on your wife's hand while she was playing. Witness—Yes, I will. Mr. Metcalfe—Do you deny that you shut tho 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 ? 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. Metcalfe—l shall be able to prove that you did so by witnesses. Witnesses—Very likely—your witnesses can tell lies. Mr. Metcalfe.—l now propose to read some letters writ ten by Mrs. Rowley to her mother, complaining of the con duct of Mr. Rowley. Mr. Orridge—l object to such being done. The proper place for the production of the letters was the Divorce Court. Mr. Metcalfe (holding out a letter, and addressing the witness) said—ls that letter in your wife's hand. writing ? Mr. Rowley—Yes, it is. But it might have been writ ten yesterday, as there is no doubt. The letter, however, was not read. In answer to further questions, the witness said, I am not on good terms with any other member of my family but my mether, Lady Langford. I will swear I never ill-used Mrs. Green. Upon my oath I did not. I never injured the arm of a servant of mine. I swear I did not. 1 once objected to a servant washing where my guns were being cleaned, as it would injure them. There was something of a scuffle, about throwing away the tub of water. I believe the doctor was sent for, but it was all humbug, and he said so. I can't say why the girl had the doctor. I don't recollect a milliner named Henderson. I was arrested for the money Mrs. Rowley's marriage shawl cost, but the debt was paid in half-an-hour. I pledged jewels to do so. The greater part belonged to me. not to Mrs. Rowley. I cannot say that I have not called my wife an infernal brute within a week after my marriage. I may have said " God d—n and curse you to her." I recollect her d--g me. Mr. Metcalfe—Did you ever call your wife a b— bitch ? Witness—l might have done so. I dare say I did. I have called her a good many names, and with reason. Mr. Metcalfe—Did you not, in 'Westminster Hall, tell this gentleman sitting beside me (Mr. Burton) that if your wife gave evidence against you, you would blast her cha racter ? Witness—Never. Mr. Metcalfe—Never ! Witness—Yes, never. Mr. MetcalfeLDo you know that your late wife has had to pawn her clothes when you left her without money. Witness—No, I don't. My mother used to give her money. I have pawned certain jewels and other articles at Mr. Vincent's, in Pimlico. I never pawned any clothes belonging to Mrs. Rowley. Mr. Metcalfe—What 1 Have you not pawned a mantle belonging to her ? Witness—Never. Mr. Metcalfe—Not a seal-skin mantle? Why I have a letter in which mention is made of your having done so, and we can produce the cloak. Mr. Rowley—l should like to see it, though I can tell you at present I cannot recollect having done so. Mr. Metcalfe hero read the letter referred to, but it was not allowed in evidence. _ _ _ The learned gentleman then said he proposed to read to the witness several letters written by Mr. Rowley, and also letters in answer from Mrs. Rowley, and said he did so in order to show, from the tone of the letters written by Mr. Rowley, that complaints of previous cruelty existed, as he implored his dear Titty to forgive him, and he would be have for the future in the most tender manner to his own dear little Titty. In one of the letters he made a sketch of one of her legs, and went on to say he hoped her legs were quite well, and that she would not show them so much when she was on the pier at Boulogne. Mr. Rowley—l wrote those lettrs. They are quite it my style. The sketch of the leg, I presume, is a good one. Mrs. Rowley had very nice ones. Mr. Metcalfe then read some other letters written by Mr. Rowley, dated in 1852 and 1853. They contained tht..most silly, fulsome, and in some places irreverent and disgusting expressions, and in one he said if hedid not act more kindly to his Titty he hoped God would blight him. Mr. Rowley—l did act more kindly, and I was not blighted. Do I look as if I was ? (Laughter.) While I was in Edinburgh I passed under the noise of "Mr. Rogers" and Capt. Green. While I was living with Mrs. Greene she passed as Mrs. Rowley. My mother visited the house. I was known there as Mr. Henry Rowley. Mrs. Green died at Implepen, tut I think the less said about that the better. I did not detain her jewels. I never was charged with doing so by the executors. Mr. Sleigh—l object to this, as it has nothing to do with the present charge. Mr. Metcalfe—Then I will proceed with another part of my case. Cross-examination proceeded—l can't say there was not a bill owing.when I left the Hotel de Boston. I know I never pleaded infancy, or that my mother pleaded coverture to escape payment. I his closed the cross-examination. Mr. Sleigh—As the re-examination of the Hon. Mr. n ß o o w wl a e d y jo w u i rn ll otccheuppryoreemdeinegsonstoidaerafubtluerotildnae, I . hope you will r r .

If . the hcaiashe day y d a b f ec ter n dleafytfreaftsherdtihaheastrotalf scandal m an t d h al e Divorce Court, inw were served up, the public would soon have forgottan Mr. and Mrs. Rowley, and had I known the length to which it was proposed to carry the case, I never would have granted the summons. In future cases like the present T shall pursue a very different course to that which I have adppted in this. Three assignments of perjury are set out. Now, looking to the cruelty stated to have taken place at Paris, I don't think the locking the lady up, as has been stated, at Maurice's, can be properly called cruelty, but I think it was very great cruelty on the part of Mr. Rowley - .ten days after marriage to go out to supper and the opera and leave his wife alone in a strange hotel. With respect to the forcing a teaspoon of salt into the lady's mouth, and the throwing a dressing. case at her there, according to the evidence, had been a quarrel, and I am inclined to think there must have been some exaggera tion somewhere. I also think it very unlikely that a lady would quietly sit still and patiently submit to have her hair, which a woman most properly considers one of her greatest beauties, cut off, and it seems just as impossible to me, if violent resistance was off red, how it could be cut off at all. The charge about the money comes to nothing, and 1 cannot see why 'it is brought. Mr. Rowley says he was in Westminster-hall a portion of the time the case was proceeding, and he ought to have denied it there ; but, in stead of doing that, he turns round, when the lady's mouth is closed by being made a defendant, and charges come up from Dulwich without his knowledge, but it is • Clear so far from his not knowing of the circumstance that she came up in consequence of a letter he himself wrote, in which he gave directians to her how to proceed. His memory seems to have so deserted him that he has given. quite a different account of the matter. Under all the cir cumstances, I think the wisest course topurs ue is to let he proceedings end as they stand at present. Mr. Rowley his had the opportunity of denying many of the statements made against him, and both parties ought to agree to let by gones be bygones. I don't wish him at the present moment to withdraw the summons, but he had better put himself in the hands of his advisers ; and to give time I will adjourn the case for a week, when I do hope neither party will appear. Mr. Metcalfe, on the part of Mrs. Rowley, said he was quite ready to admit there might be some mistakes and a little exaggeration, but the main points of her evidence he still adhered to. Mr. Sleigh, after the suggestion of the worthy magistrate, advised his client to consent to the proposal. The adjourn ment would allow time to consider the course he should adopt. Mr. Rowley said he had proposed such a course ten days ago. The proceedings were then adjourned for a week. LONDON GAZETTE--( THIS EVENING.) WAR-OFFICE, DEC. 27.

CHABOT OF ROBBERY AGAINST A MOTHER ANT) DAUGHTER.—SeIina Gwynn and Emily Gwynn, mother and daughter, were charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing articles of wearing apparel, &c., the property of Mr. Henry Haarnaek, harp maker, of 69, Newman-street, Oxford-street. _ _ From the evidence of tile 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, land 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, 68 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. Ho 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.
