(Before Justices Williams and Willes.) APPOINTMENT OF CLERK OF TIIR COURT. As soon as the learned judges had taken their seats upon the bench, the Lord Mayor rose and said that many persons now in court had heard the eloquent and judicious state ment made by the learned Common Sergeant, as a tribute of respect to the late Mr. John Clark, wlio had filled the office of clerk of the court. Every person who had heard the eloquent address of the learned gentleman fully agreed with every sentiment then uttered in praise of one who, for se many years, discharged the duties of his office with zeal and assiduity. The nomination of a successor was vested in him (the Lord Mayor), subject to the approbation of the judges and aldermen on the rota, and the selection lie had made, he was glad to state, had received the unanimous and unqualified approbation of those learned personages. The ap pointment he had made would receive the approbation of the whole of the bar, as the gentleman be selected had been associated with the late Mr. Clark for the lest 25 years. Without detaining them further, he begged to announce that he had appointed Mr. Robert Marshall Straight, to fill the office of Clerk of the Arraigns. - - Mr. Straight, who was at the table, then bowed to the judges, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Counsel, and was congratulated by Mr. Bodkin, Mr. S!eigh, Mr. Robinson, and a number of other gentlemen on his appointment. THE CASE OF MR. STEVENS. This case in which Mr. Stevens, a stockbroker in the City, was charged with misappropriating a sum of money entrusted to him to invest in certain stock, was withdrawn ; the indictment having been preferred against him in conse quence of a misunderstanding. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Willes.) CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—A tall powerful man, named Ashdown, was indicted for assaulting John Evans with a knife with intent to murder him. Mr. Cooper appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Horry for the prisoner. John Evans said—l live at 6, Hill-street, Deptford. The prisoner was my lodger; he lived up-stairs. On Friday, 3d August, the prisoner and his wife returned home in a state of intoxication. I gave them notice to quit their apartment. On tee following day the prisoner and his wife came to my door, and they began using the most threatening language towards me, threatening to murder me. I opened the room door. The prisoner's wife struck me with a poker, which I wrested from her. The prisoner was standing behind me with a knife in his Land, with which be struck me two or three times over the head and arms. Oa getting in to the street I began to get faint from loss of blood and I could do nothing more than defend myself. The prisoner and his wife then left and returned to their apartment, but a policeman came up, and on being told what bad occurred, he proceeded to their room and took A.hdown into custody.' Cross-examined by Mr. Horry for the prisoner—l struck at the prisoner two or three times, but it was in self-defence. I was asked to leave off striking him Iby some persons standing by, but I did not do so. Police-constable 146 said—l took the prisoner into cus tody on the Wednesday night in question. I told him what I wanted him for, and he said, "All right, I'll come with you." A medical gentleman proved that the wounds inflicted on the prosecutor were of a very dangerous nature. The learned Judge having summed up the evidence, The jury found the prisoner guilty of committing a com mon assault, and be was sentenced to six months' imprison ment. TILE EXPLOSION OF FIREWORKS AT MADAME COTON'S. A gentlemanly-dressed man named Bennett was indicted for manslaughter, caused by an explosion of fireworks, which took place on the 12th of July last, at a shop kept by Mrs. Bennett (Madame Coton), in St. George's-in-the-East. Mr. Pierce appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. GifFord defended the prisoner. Anna Welsh—l formerly lived at a house in Westminster road. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett had a little girl living iu the same house. Mrs. Bennett was called Madame Coton. The prisoner used to drive a horse and cart, in which he used to take the empty cases to the factory, which was at Peck ham. The cases were made on the ground floor, level with the shop. I have seen what is called red-fire in the yard in canisters. I have never seen it in the shop. I have given red fire from one of the safes in the yard to boys engaged in the manufacture. The safe was a very short distance from the house. I gave the red fire about a week before the explosion to a boy named William Brown. I was in the house when the explosion took place on the 12th of July, about half-past six. I was in the back room on the first floor. I was. attracted to the fire by hearing the boys halloo. I looked out of the window and saw smoke com ing out of the kitchen window, in which the composition was. I know how the men roll cases for fireworks. The cases are made of brown paper and rolled round a brass pipe, and then having cloyed the bottom, the cases became fit for use. Tucker, the foreman, used to work in the back room on the shop floor. It was very near the shop. I did not see any barrels there on the Saturday before the fire. I know a man named Payne. I did not see Itim take a bar rel from that room on Sunday. I escaped from the house with only slight injury. I don't know how many men were employed, but there were three boys. By the Judge—My mistress and master lived in the house. They did not go about with naked candles. Edwin Tucker—l was the foreman to Madame Coton at the time of the explosion. I had been employed about 18 months. Mr. Bennett (the prisoner) paid me. Madame Coton engaged me. I have been an artist in fireworks all my life. Madame Coton had lived in the house for a nutn ber of years. I know that the prisoner and she were man and wife. I was at the house about three-quarters of an hour previous to the explosion taking place, but when it occurred I had left. I know the front kitchen. I saw fire there on the day of the occurrence—red and green. It was intended for Vauxhall and Crenr,rne. It was made in the front kitchen. The red was made of strontian, sulphur, salt petre, and oxide of capper ; the green of sulphur, charcoal, and oxide of copper. Madame Coton made the mixture. Mr. Pierce—What was the quantity made daily? Mr. Gifford, for the prisoner, objected to the question. The learned judge ruled that the question must be answered. It was important that the quantity made should be known, because if it was in so large a quantity as to be come alarming, then the person keeping it there became guilty, in the evcnt of accident arising therefrom, of man slaughter. It appeared that the prisoner's wife carried on the business of a firework maker, and to make him respon sible for such a circumstance it must be proved that he was aware of the fact. Witness—There were about five or six pounds used per day. I cannot say whether the quantity varied. It was used for filling coloured cases for the garden. The cases were made in the back kitchen. There was nothing done to those cases out of the house Wore they were sold. I don't know the prisoner ever took away any of the goods. The fireworks were exhibited for sale in the shop. I have known the prisoner to take cases away from the house to Peckham, where he kept his stock. After casts arrived there they were filled with red fire with a rammer and a little mallet. If the composition was struck too hard it would explode. After the red fire was made it was put into can isters and kspt in the yard. I can't say whether before being placed in the canisters it was exposed to the action of fire to dry. If a canister was to fall from a shelf that would not cause an explosion. The rammer is to press the fire down. Two little boys were employed to the cases. I don't know their names. I have seen the prisoner bring fireworks to the house in Westminster-road from the fac tory at Peckham, every day. When I left the house on the evening of the explosion, Harrison was engaged in " pot ting" rockets. About five or six dozen of the rockets were made per day. The little rockets were made at Mr. Sunter's, in Charles-street, five or six doors down. There was no way of getting to this house without going down the street. It would take about a couple of hours to fill a dozen of the rockets. I know a firework called mine serpents; they were made of a composition similar to that of the rockets. The same two little boys were engaged to make them. One of the boys was about 10, anti the ether 13 years of age. I never received any directions concerning the manufacture from the prisoner. I have never heard the prisoner speak to anybody about fireworks. Madame Coton always got the orders together. I have seen Madame Coton sometimes ride in the cart with the prisoner. She used to at the gard en . I never saw an y gun powder w t d h e e r in thi tre sp b ihouse. I was not allowed to go upstairs. The composition of which the rockets were made was kept at Sunter's. Mr. Bennett never brought the composition to the shop in the Westminster-road. The fireworks for the different gardens left the house always between five and six o'clock. -..-- John Watson, a little boy, aged eleven years, said—l first saw the blue fire nlicht in the back kitchen. I was filling ro, h t canes with blue lire. I tan out of ihe place. By Mr. Gifford—l was usually employed to clay the rocket cases, but Madame Coton had on some occasions told me to the cases.. By the Judge—When I saw the light I ran away. I did not hear any noise. _ William Brage, another little fellow, aged thirteen, said —I was in the house when the fire was first discovered. I was in. the middle room. I saw Mrs. Bennett, Watson, and my brother David there. He was three years younger than I am. We were all employed by Mrs. Benceit. I could see into the back kitchen. The door being open I saw some of the red fire alight, and I cried out to Madame Coton, and then ran out into the street. Before I got out I heard no noise. My hair was singed a bit, and I lost my coat. The fire followed me up s•nirs. Madame Coton did not leave until after I had done. I heard no ex plo•ion before I got out into the street. I had been employed on the premises about five or six weeks. I have not seen Mr. Bennett there often. He used to come down stairs and take his breakfast in the middle room. The medical evidence proved that death was occasioned by fire. The learned judge, at great length, commented upon the evidence, and said, the questions for the jury were whether the deceased child, Caroline Bridger, came to her death by fire, and was the prisoner in any way liable for the results of the disaster which took place on the 12th of July . The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of not guilty. There is another indictment against the prisoner for creating a common nuisance. TIIIItD COURT. (Before the Comtnon Sergeant.) TJTTER LNG COUNTERFEIT COIN.- 1 7e$s e K n i n and Emma Loveday were indicted for utterin g a counterfeitu shilling, with intent to defraud, &c. From the evidence of a boy in the employ of Mr. Stevens, a tradesman residing near Whitecross - street, it appeared that the female prisoner entered the shop and asked for a quarter of a', pound of soap , in payment for which she tendered a shilling, which Was discovered to be counterfeit, arid returned to her. She left th e s h o p and Mr. Stevens directe d Hopkins to f o ll ow h er , and having done so for same time, he observed her cross the street and join the male pr isoner. They walk e d on for some time, and he then saw King give the woma n another shil ling, with which she entered a nother sh op and succeeded in pa sing; it. On leaving she e the pris oner King the change, observing which the buy told a policeman of the circumstances, and he went up to the woman, but the male prisoner succeeded in making his !scope. After the woman had been hedged in the station-house the male prisoner was pointed out by the boy amongst the crowd outside the door, and he was taken into custody. The offence having been clearly proved, and a former con viction for uttering base co i n having been record e d , The Common Sergeant, in passing se n t ence, said it was clear that the female prisoner Loveday had been made the tool of King, and be therefore should pass upon her a very lenient seuteuce, namely, three months' imprisonment with hard labour, but with res p ec t to King, he had before been convicted of a similar offence ' and warning seemed to be o f no u se to him , it had been clearly proved that he bad for sometime been in the habit of defrauding a class of poor shopkeepers, who could of ail others ill affbrd it, by passing counterfeit coin, such being the fact he had determined that, at all events for some years, he should not have another opportunity of so doing. He then penal seryitude. sentenced King to six years' POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.,) MAR LBOIIOIT TI -STRE ET.— DA n r :cc; STREET ROD BERY.—CAUTION TO LADIES.—Juilit L :t l , attire r! in a loose gray coat with hanging sleeves, and John Wil liams, 16, were charged with stealing a purse from the person of Mrs. Din Girling, of 3, Bruton-street, Berkeley square. ti e o r fiiattendanceincrease, e withasc the view of recognising the prisoners. , set ies ce e r f s a of si t a le il detectivear n a t ure fboerieneg weregr e a t i l n y on tbe From the evidence of Mrs. Girling it appeals that she was about to enter her house on the previous afternoon, when the prisoners c a me up to her and asked her the way to Portman-square. While Williams was asking the qnCs flora the other prisoner interrupted, saying he was told tin, t through Hanover-square was the best way. They cattle close to her, and she at once felt satisfied that they were robbing her, and putting her hand down felt Williams' hand at her pocket, and her purse, containing Li 4s. 3d., gone. Her purse was picked up and given to her having been thrown away by the prisoners. James Alfred Grant, 3, Great Western Mews, London street, said that he was turning into Bruton-street en horse back, when he saw Lally throw away a purse and some one bolding him. John White, 10, Lancashire-court, New Bond-street, said he heard a cry of "stop thief," and saw Lally running. On stopping him he said he bad done nothing. He (witness) then asked him why he was running, and took him towards the station, and seeing a constable, handed him over. Mr. Beadon said the prisoners must be remanded. Lally wished his worship to settle it at once. He would plead guilty. Cole, a detective officer, and Welsh, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoners had been convicted before. Lally again: begged that his worship would dispose of the case. Mr. Beadon said he should certainly remand them for a week, that the officer might make the necessary inquiries. It was an outrageous thing—the lady had been robbed at her owa door. THAMES.—A JUVENILE CRIM/NAL.—CRITEL ROB BERY.—A very diminutive boy, named Monk, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing ls. sd. from a poor woman named Rebecca Wyatt, who stated that she was passing along the Cannon-street-road yesterday evening when the prisoner put his hand in her pocket and took from it ls. 5d., which was all the money she possessed in the world. The prosecutrix added that the prisoner, on being pursued, flung the money into the street, and some women picked it up, and refused to restore it to her. Mr. Selfe—They ought to have been given into custody as well as this boy. The prosecutrix said that her husband had been out of work some time, and that her children had been without a breakfast in consequence of the robbery. The prisoner, in defence, said he lived in Baker's-row, Whitechapel, and committed the robbery because he was hungry. 16.Selfe—Last night, when you were given into custody, you said you lived in Queen Anne-street. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said Queen Anne-street was close to Baker's-row. The mother of the prisoner said her son was fourteen years of age last April, and she had a daughter nine years of age as big as him. She fed him well, and he turned a wheel in Bethnal-green for 2s. 2L per week. Mr. Selfe—The boy is a liar as well as a thief. He said he committed the robbery because he was hungry. He is a very bad boy indeed. He hai robbed a poor woman, whose children have g me without food this morning in conse quence. I sentence the prisoner to three weeks' imprison-. ment and bard labour. The magistrate thee ordered 21. to be given to the prose.. cutrix from the poor-box fund: WHISKY DRINKING IN SCOTLAND. (From the Scottish Press.) There are a number of public questions in which passion and prejudice have so completely usurped the field that arguments and even facts have no chance. Whether as a people we are growing in sobriety or its opposite, is one of these; and we have ever maintained that this question could alone be settled by a reference to the Excise returns cf the quantity of spirits entered for home consumption, and in connexion with these the condition of the working classes and the price of whisky. Now that Mr. Dunlop's Parlia mentary return is published we possess the means of testing the fact by figures, and results must speak for themselves. We shall not encumber the case with a reference to spirits ether than whisky, because it is the national beverage, and ere we have done it will be found that an enormous delu sion is being'practised on the people of Scotland. To render our observations intelligible and distinct, we shall state the quantities of whisky, given in imperial gal lons, entered for consumption in Scotland during the four years before and after Whitsunday, 1854, when the Forbes Mackenzie Act came into operation : Deficit. Excess. 1851 ... 7,060,433 1855 ... 6,452,098 ... 608,335 1852 6,768,106 1856 5,336,538 1,431,568 1853 7,145,037 1857 7,126,057 ... 18,980 1854 ... 6,816,692 1858 6,819,169 2,477 27,820,068 25,763,862 2,058,83 2,477 Total deficit of last four years, 2,056,40G Showing a deficit in four years of 2,056,406 gallons, or, on an average, of 514,101/ per annum. A comparison of the duty paid on whisky during these various years, and of the means taken by spirit dealers to meet the difficulty of a high-priced article, will inevitably establish two propositions—first, that so determined in Scotland is the love of whisky that we have paid for the article during the last four years many millions of pounds sterling more than we paid for it during a similar period preceding the Forbes Mackenzie Act; and, second, that we have during the last four years been drinking more of the commodity sold as whisky than during an equal period going before. We shall immediately establish the first of these propositions. There was paid in:— Gallons. Duty. Amount. 1551 7,060,433 Ss. Bd. X 1,294,412 1852 6,758,106 3s. Bd. 1,240,819 1853 ... 7,145,037 3s.

Od. 2,850,422 2,73”fi67 £9,638,029 Deduct first tour years .., ~. 5,442,715 Excess of duty on last four years... 24,195,314 These figures—startling though they be—give a most inade quate and imperfect view of the case, and we have resorted to them to meet what is an apparent, though most erroneous mode of arriving at the result. While the dealer—whether publican, grocer, or spirit merchant—is paying 72 per cent. more for whisky than he paid in 1851, the publican might as well shut shop as propose to charge a proportional increase to the dram drinker. The dram drinker has to be dealt with on the philosophy which inspired the poor woman with de vout thankfulness, that—although the 41b. loaf had risen to a dearth price—the bakers could not increase the price of the " penny brieks." To realise the same profit, the publi can would require to get sd. a gill for what he formerly exacted 3d. Instead of this he charges 4d. A gill, and adds as many gallons of water as repays him for the odd penny, so that we are entirely under the mark when we say that to the whisky sold by publicans, and in gills and routchkins by grocers and others, more than a million additional gallons of water is added yearly to the aggregate; and in 1858 et least a million more gallons of whisky—so called and sold by the dealer, and so understood and paid for by the con sumer—were used in Scotland than in any of the four years referred to prior to the passing of the Forbes Mackenzie Act. With these preliminry explanations we shall, in a single sentence, state how the case stands. We take the first two and the last two years already so often referred to-1851- 1852, and 1857-1858. We select these because they were free from all speculation on any anticipated rise of duty. The whisky entered for consumption in Scotland was— Gallons.

We challenge any man to controvert a single statement we have put forth. These astounding facts prepare us for encountering an other fallacy—that drinking is diminished in proportion as we reduce the number of licensed houses. We have shown that more money is being consumed in whisky, and more whisky is drunk in Scotland, now than before the Forbes Mackenzie Act came into operation ; and yet, to illustrate the delusion referred to by the instance of Elinburgh, we find, taking the three years before the Act and the last three years, that the number of licences have been greatly dimi nished. The numbers that were issued were -1851 961 1856 796 1852 967 1857 753 1853 956 18558 737 And yet more whisky has been drunk in the last three rears than the first three years. How is this? Either we have increased the trade of those persons who are licensed — a statement we believe to be very partially true—or we have driven the supply into unlicensed and disreputable hands—a statement we believe attested by fact and sufficient to account for much of the whole cave. _ _ To what, then, do our calculations point ? To the re moval ? B of the y F u o u rb m es ea Mackenzieus.lvehold that Act as c r ri e v v s o l u - - salutary principle, that public-houses should not have per mission—exceptional of every other trade—to pur sue their gains on the Sabbath-day. This principle, howeve r, has, strictly speaking, nothing to do with drinking. It merel y i p t os eislavehilyish in ed is ; affirms that a salutary law shall be universally enforced. If our statistics teach anything—and we hold them to be full of suggestion—it is how little can be gained by physical means in securing moral ends; and that if as a people we are less temperate than we were, and were becoming, it is because moral means, which alone can secure moral results, have been all but abandoned in favour of physical restraint and magisterial supervision, which lead to disappointment and dismay. We would willingly have found that benefits bad arisen out of recent legislation up to and beyond the expectation of the most enthusiastic believer in " the Act ;" but facts are facts, and it is an offence against truth and tsetrays a craven spii it not to proclaim them.

[The following was forwarded to us for insertionyesterday, but our correspondent's letter did not come to hand in time for publication.] The batch of little meetings which occupied last week excited more interest and attention than was expected. At Lewes it was discovered that Gracchus was not quite the clipper that his Derby backers believed ; and the running of Flitch with him caused Electric to be more steadily sup ported than ever. Gracchus lacks speed, but he seems a stager all over, and next year be will, or I shall be much disappointed, show that he possesses pretensions of no ordi nary stamp. At Lewes, too, a demonstration was made in favour of Toxopholite for the St. Leger; and the hopes of Melton still fondly cling to the son of Longbow. People who are anxiously waiting for the coming out sider now direct their attention to Wantage, and believe that in Kelpie Mr. Parr will furnish the ring with another Saucebox. That Kelpie's running this year both surprised and disappointed his owner is well known. Mr. Parr, contrary to his general custom, has allowed the horse a long season of rest, and he may send him—a formidable St. Leger candidate—into the field. People, however, still look to " Sir Joseph," and it must be confessed that they have good cause for faith in the cherry jacket and black cap. " Fitz" seemed short of work when he won the Two Thousand, and both at Epsom and at Stock bridge he appeared to be big. Should that nasty leg of his enable Manning to train him, Sir Joseph Hawley will, it must be confessed, have a rare chance of carrying off the three great events of the year. The Reading Meetiag was principally remarkable for crowds both of bipeds and qua drupeds, and the most important incident connected with the racing was the defeat of Gracchus. If the list of sport prepared by Mr. North for the York Meeting be not equally attractive with that of former years, the cause cannot be attributed to a diminution of energy on the part of the authorities. The arrival of Fisherman is announced, but he has been sent for the Queen's Guineas, and not for the Ebor Handi cap. The betting on the Handicap has not been extraor dinarily brisk, and even after " the Candle" went out no activity was imparted to speculation. Borderer's trip to Baden-Baden has been postponed in order to enable him to take part in the race, and really to judge from his running at Stamford sad Lewes, the fondness of his party for his Ebor chance need excite no surprise. Vedette will go fresh to the post, but a rheumatic horse is not exactly to be trusted for a severe race, and his ability to give 51bs, and a beating to Borderer may well be questioned. Pretty Boy at 7st 31bs will he formidable, for those persons who art ,v him " perform" at Nottingham aver that he looks as well and as fresh as when he was a three-year-old. Could he be sent to the post in his Goodwood Stakes form of 1856, I should have no difficulty in selecting a champion. The "confederates" have been long out of luck, and fortune may now be inclined to give them a " turn." The Bird in-Hand will perhaps be the representative of Whitewall, but in this instance I believe that people will have no choice between a Bird-in-Hand and two in the bush. In Melissa I have no faith, and the public must by this time be tired of " standing her." Brother to Bird-on-the- Wing and Minnie are turned loose. What shouting would be raised if Lord Glasgow's colt were to bear the colours of his popular owner just past the post ! Really his light weight may enable him to run into a prominent position. For the three-year-olds I have no decided partiality, but if Tunstall Maid be well she may run forward, as her performances over the same course in the spring showed that she likes the ground. I fancy, however, that the first three to pass the p)st will be GENIMA DI VERGY, VEDETTE, AND BORDERER. The scratching of Hepatica for her Goodwood engagements induces people to believe that she is amiss. She must be very much wrong if she cannot win the Ebor St. Leger as Marauder and Whitewall are likely to be her only opponents. Meg Merrilees and Gnatcatcher may make an interesting race of it for the Filly Sapling Stakes. I anticipate the success of Mr. Merry's colours. Some expectations have been entertained of Mutineer, and should he put in an ap pearance he may EIIOW that the Whitewall stable is as strong as ever in its two year-olds. Still I shall place my hopes in Rainbow. To foretell the winner of the Biennial Stakes for two-year-olds is at my present writing somewhat dif ficult, as many of the animals engaged in it will be " run through" before the race is decided. I may, however, be inclined to avail myself of a ticket-of-leave. The Peer ought to win the ll?peful Stakes. He is also engaged in the Eglinton Stakes, and should he start for that event, his 10 lbs. allowance ought to enable him to pull through. Of the two-year-olds I should, in the al.tenee of Rainbow, give my preference to Joyeuse. Any attempt to select a winner of the Prince of Wales's Stakes, or to pre dict the result of Friday's racing, would at present be absurd. An exception may, however, he made in favour of the Yorkshire Stakes, the:running for which will be scarcely affected by preceding performances. East Langton and Brother to Bird-on-the -Wing are entitled to distinction, and I shall not be greatly surprised to see Lord Glasgow's colt the winner. A FRESH MAN. Broadstairs, Tuesday Morning. DISTRESSING CASE OF BIGAMY AT EDINBURGH. (From the Scotsman of Tuesday.) Yesterday evening the Hoe. Major Yelverton, of the Royal Artillery, who was apprehended and lodged in the Calton Gaol on Thursday evening, charged with bigamy, was liberated on bail. The amount of the security, we under stand, is £l,OOO. The circumstances of this painful case have been for several months familiarly known in Etinburgh el 11,,W 1.0 U C in Lbstumug from mention ing them, so far as they are supposed to be known. months is understood that a considerable number of mon ago, Major Yelverton (who is the second sou of Lord Avonmore, an Irish peer) went through the form of marriage in Ireland with Miss Longworth, lady of respectable family and some priv ate_a fortune .rr ilrish Miss Longworth had formerly resided or vi c . s it ii d p in sf some Edin burgh, where she formed the acquaintanceship of the highest In position among our ci t izens , tthe acted as lady nurse in the Crimp, o h d ed w also hen Major Yelverton was there on servict. at t he marriage cere monyurnh rstood, by a in Ireland was performed, Roman Catholic priest, and there are x re reh do ,e u r b t t o s n , obreimnograe tt doubts as to its legal efficacy, Majo r Pro testant,, although Miss Longworthhad become a convert to the Romish Church. But in subsequently the couple lived in lodgings in Edinbu rgh , _,job would constitute a legal b e avowed character, it is alleged, of man and w ife, w t mar r iage according to Sc otch law; and a good deal will depend upon the facts as to this point. as to both the civil and the criminal cases w h i ch may he said ' to have already arisen. They also travel led ,. on the Continent with a pass port in which they were designated as Mr. and Mrs. Yel verton. In June last, Major Yelverton , leaving his sup posed wife in Paris , si,, came to Edinburgh, and on the 26th of that month as married in the Episcopal Chapel, Trinity, by Dean Ramsay, to the widow of our late la mented townsman Professor Edward Forbes, a daughter of the late General Sir Charles Ashworth. This marriage was not at first announced in the newspapers in the usual way, but received a wide and simultaneous publication about three weeks abet wards. The facts, it is understood, are that the supposed first wife having got a hint of Major Yelver ton's intentions, followed him closely from Paris, arriving either immediately after the second marriage, or, it is said, even before it, though unable to prevent its solemnisation, or perhaps to ascertain when and where it was to be per formed. Of course she and her relatives immediately took such steps as have now led to the arrest of Major Yelverton on the charge of bigamy, and as will lead doubtless to the raising of at least one action regarding civil rights. These, we believe, are the main facts of the case, se far as they have transpired, although we cannot be sure of their entire accuracy. The affair has, as might be expected, created much interest, and though all the facts are not yet certainly known, much sympathy is felt for both of the ladies. HOP INTELLIGENCE. KENT.---The reports received from the several bop growing districts speak of the beneficial effects produced by the rains of the last few days, and of the marked progress since made by the burr in developing into hops. Pre viously, it was a subject of general remark that the advance was slower than usual, and that every day was diminishing the prospect entertained some weeks ago of a large crop. As it Is, there is, in many grounds, an extensive appearance of fire-blast, and, as the bine is generally slack throughout Mid Kent, and in a great part of East Kent, there is little doubt that early anticipations will not be realised, but that the duty has been set much too high. A continuance of warm nights will greatly improve the appearance of all the plantations; but it is too late to expect anything like the crops of the last two years. In East Kent we are informed that hop picking is likely to commence In about a fort night's time; but in West Kent, where the grounds ." 15 year are later, bopping will hardly be general under three week.. DEATH OF AIR. GEORGE COMBE. (F. urn the ..Vorth 13riii.vh Daily Mail of yesterday.) Mr. George Combe died on Saturday at the hydropathic establishment of his friend Dr. Len-, Moor Park Surrey, whither he had repaired abut a f tnight s g. , , more fir the ph.fasure of the society to be found there then from any special necessity otherwise. Mr. Combe was bo:n at Edin burgh, October 21, 1788, and vas the fourteenth child and sixth son of a family which numbered seventeen in all Both his parents were persons of superior intelligence and integrity, in easy circumstances. After passing through the usual preparatory studies, Mr. Corobe entered upon a special course of legal training, and in 1812 became a Writer to the Signet, a profession which he followed for the next 23 years. When about the age of 30 the speculations of Gall and Spurzheim attracted his attention. In 1816 he became personally intimate with Spurzheim, then en a visit to Edinburgh. The study of the system which he propounded resulted in an ardent conviction not only of its ebstract truth fulness, but of its deep practical importance. To so great an extent was be inspired with this conviction that it is no ex aggeration to say the whole of his subsequent life was devoted to the vindication and propagation of phrenological science, and the cognate doctrines with which it was in his mind asso ciated. Within three years of his meeting with Spurzheim, in 1819, he published his " Essays on Phrenology." This treatise was subsequently expanded and elaborated in his "System of Phrenology," a work which has passed through numerous editions. In 1823 be established the Edinburgh Phrenolo gical Journal as an organ through which the leading lights of the new philosophy might hold communion with the more inquiring and more erudite of their followers. The establish ment of this journal naturally led Mr. Combe into not a few rather tough controversies. With characteristic zeal, at once from the platform and from the press, he defeaded his favourite science against its numerous assailant s . Th e most redoubtable of the then antagonists of the system of p h renology were Francis Jeffrey and Sir W. Hamilton. And though Mr. Combe could not lay claim to the brilliant controversial powers of Jeffrey, nor the trenchant logic and massive erudition of Hamilton, he at least evinced, in quite as high degree as either the editor of the Edinburgh Review, or the pro fessor of logic and metaphysics, the fitting temper of the philosopher. In 1828 Mr. Combe published that work by which he is best known—" The Constitution of Man con sidered in relation to External Objects." This work, based upon the principles of phrenology, has for its leading object to impress a deeper conviction of the stability of natural law as regulating the physical universe, and as imperatively necessary to be studied devoutly, interpreted justly, and adhered to resolutely in order to ensure the well-being of mankind. The earlier and more expensive editions of this work were not much sold, but a philanthropic English gen tleman, impressed with the great importance of widely dis seminating the opinions advocated, devoted a handsome sum to the production of a People's Edition, which at once attained an immense popularity, not only in Britain but in America. It was the sincere desire of Mr. Combe to avoid as much as possible touching upon topics which might awaken hostility, but the intimate relation of not a few of the questions treated in this work were so intervovea with and seemed to militate against re ligious views hitherto most surely believed among us, that It brought Mr. Combe into bad odour with the religious press. Assailed by antagonists of every variety of temper in the religious world, Mr. Combe, nevertheless, continued unwa vering in his devotion to the new science—defending it with vigour against the assaults •f those who deemed it little better than covert Atheism, and who stigmatised it as sub stituting law fur God, and enthroning an iron necessity where once had dwelt the Father of the Universe. Without entering now upon any discussion of the merits of the fierce controversy waged respecting the orthodoxy of the " Con , stitutiou of Man," there can, we think, he little doubt that a prolonged study of one important branch of knowledge had led Mr. Combe to give to physical law an importance which all but veiled the reality, and the at least equal importance of spiritual agency. A change has, in recent years, come over the higher thought of Britain, and we believe that change has not been favourable to the conti nued popularity of the philosophy of Mr. Combe in those extreme and objectionable aspects. The great popularity which, about the period of the passing of the Reform Bill, had been given to his writings, and the éclat with which in wide circles his name had become invested, induced Mr. Combe, towards the close of 1833, N deliver a course of lectures on popular education. These lectures, while em bodying mast of his own peculiar views, were the fruits of solid studies and enlarged experience, and there can be no doubt they contributed not a little to give an impulse to what Mr. Combe had much at heart—the education of the people. After making the tour of nearly all the more im portant cities of Britain in his capacity of lecturer, Mr. Combe published his views on education in a volume which obtain , d not only a wide circulation in Britain and the United States, but was transla'ed into French, German, and Swedish The same year of his success as a lecturer be was united. in marriage to a daughter cf the celebrated Mts. Siddons In 1836, Dr. Ritchie, Professor of Logic and Metaphysics in the University of Edinburgh, havir,g resigned, that important chair became vacant, and Mr. Combe was induced to offer himself as a candidate. The rival candidates were Mr. Isaac* Taylor, author of the "Natural History of Enthusiasm ;" Mr. Musten, of Rotterdam, and his old antagonist Sir Wil liam Hamilton. In a private note, Mr. Combe engaged that, if elected to the chair, he would deal tenderly with the pre judices cf those who were not quite prepared to accept whole sale his system of phrenology. Ths old ideas were not to be outraged. The worthy councillor who proposed him in the metropolitan municipal couLeil was, however, not so considerate. Fresh from the study of a twopenny chart of the science, he described the new doctrine as occupying a most commanding position —as having lived down all oppo sition. The day for twitting about bumps, exclaimed the worthy civic dignitary, has gone by. The claims of Sir Wil liam Hamilton were, however, too conspicuous to be any longer successfully untested. The most eminent European philosophers had borne the most emphatic testimony to his merits; and the descendant of the hero of Drumclog was the successful candidate. Neither the " Physical Theory of Another Life" of Mr. Taylor, " Mutual Recognition in the Next World," by Mr. Musten, of Rotterdam, which some councillors had read with great delight, nor the " Constitution of Men," apparently was able on this occasion to shake the claims of the author of the " Philosophy of the Unconditioned." So it was that the Edinburgh University vas still continued the preserve of the " Scottish Philosophy." Shortly subsequent to his defeat as candidate for the chair of Dr. Ritchie, Mr. Combs visited the United States of America. After a sojourn extending over suncwhere about three years, he returned to Edinburgh, aril there published the results of his tour in three volumes, entitled "Notes on the United States of North America during a Phrenological Visit." This work is, upon the whole, one of the most just and faithful estimates ever furnished by the British traveller. On his return from America lie paid several visits to Germany. " Notes on the New Reformation in Germany " was the product of these visits. This work was by no means so satisfactory as his work on America. With every wish to be fair, and with all the calmness of the philosopher, there was about Mr. Combo a constitutional inaptitude for form innt an orquree conception 'ef the purely spiritual furces that in certain great crises upheave society. We presume even his most ardent parti'ans will acknowledge. that is work on the "Common Schools of .Massaehusetts,"publislied that same year, was a more useful book than " Notes on the New Reformation." In 1850, Mr. Cotube edited the Life and Correspondence of his eminent brother, Dr. Andrew Combe. The - boyhood and youth of the accomplished physi cian to the King of the Belgians had been spent under the tuition of the phrenologist. Through life they bad ever been warmly attached. As mieht have been anticipated in such circumstances, the memoir in question is a singularly interesting and affecting tribute to a brother's worth. About 1851 Mr. Comhe published a letter on secular educa tion, and shortly afterwards interested himself in the establishment of a secular school in the metropolis of Scotland. Subsequently he visited Glasgow upon a kindred mission. The great object of these schools is to inculcate the prudent virtues, and disseminate among the youthhood of the nation a knowledge of the natural laws. Not satisfied with the region of the useful in which to illustrate his peculiar philosophy, in 1854 Mr Cornbe published a work entitled " Phrenology applied to Painting and Sculp ture." In addition to the extensive list of !realties we have already mentioned, a legion of tracts and pamph lets, which space precludes us from enumerating, were the product of his pen. Mr. Combe was also a steady and highly acceptable contributor to the Scotsman newspaper. Not until lest week was Mr. Combe considered decidedly ailing. On Thursday and Friday his malady —an affection of the chest—left no hope; and on Saturday morning he joined the congregation of the dead. A BRITISH GOVERNMENT:GUARANTEE OF 41 PER CENT.
