A letter dated Valetta, Dec. 7, says :—" Her Majesty's gunboat Alacrity, Commander Baird, left pore on the 2d inst., with despatches for the Commander-in-Chief. The Boxer, Lieut. Galliver, and the line-of-battle ship Orion, Capt. Frere, arrived yesterday, the former from Tripoli and ]3engazi, and the latter from Corfu. Lieut. Smith and Lieut. Porcher, who proceeded in the Boxer, presented the firman with which they had been furnished by the Sultan to the Turkish authorities at Tripoli, who informed tkem that everything would be done to provide for their safe conduct to Cyrene, which place, as you are already informed, it is the object of these gentlemen to reach for the purpose of examining the ancient ruins there. After landing them at Bengazi the Boxer returned to Malta. She is, lam informed, to leave shortly for Marsala, on the south-west coast of Sicily, to he stationed there during the winter, for the pro tection of British interests in that little colony. The Terrible, Capt. Glasse, frigate, left Malta yesterday for Smyrna, and the Melpomene, Capt. Ewart, frigate, has just come in from Corfu. " The Cassar, line-of-battle ship, is to proceed to Corfu to-morrow.

" Since closing my letter yesterday two of our men-of-war have left port—the gunboat Foxhound and the line-of-battle ship Caesar—both for Corfu, the former with despatches for Vice-Admiral Mar tin," The screw steamship Warrior, intended to be iron clad, will be launched from the stocks at Mill wall on the 29th inst. The plates or slabs of iron, 202 in number, which will be employed on her, weigh 960 tons, one tier of which will be affixed before the launch takes place, and the remainder after she has floated. Her Majesty's screw steam corvette Orestes, 21 guns, 400-horse power, was taken on Thursday out of the fitting basin, Sheerness dockyard, and towed to the coalship preparatory to undergoing a trial of her machinery. Her Majesty's gunboat Sandfly, 60-horse power (tender to the Cornwallis), Lieut. and Commander Harrington C. Onslow, left Sheerness harbour after refitment, for the Humber, on the evening of the 13th inst. When proceeding between the Shears and the Mouse Light, the Sandfly came in collision with the brig Clemantina, the property of Messrs. Joseph Emerson and Co., of North Shields, bound for London, with about 300 tons of coal. The Clementina was struck abaft the forerig ging on the port side, and cut down to the water, the crew, consisting of eight hands, being saved by getting on board the Sand- Ity. The brig sunk shortly after the crew had left her. The Sandfly returned to Sheerness slightly damaged by the collision, and landed the men be longing to the Clementine. The Amethyst, 26, Capt. S. Grenfell, began yes terday to be dismantled at Chatham. She will be paid off on the 22d inst:, in order that the crew may spend Christmas-day with their friends. Yesterday an old sailing line-of-battle ship was brought down Hamoaze to Devonport dockyard, where she will be fitted as a training ship for the exercise of the Armstrong guns, several of which will be mounted on board. Steam was got up yesterday morning on board the screw steam sloop Nimrod, 6, at Devcnport, and she went from Hamoaze outside the Plymouth Breakwater, to make a further trial of her machi nery, and returned into Hamoaze. The screw steam frigate Narcissus, 51, was placed yesterday in No. 3 dock at Keyham steamyard, to have her bottom cleaned and valves overhauled. The armaments intended for Carrig and Scatter ing Islands en the Shannon, were yesterday des patched from Woolwich Arsenal, in the transport brig Gertrude, consisting of 12 68-pounders, gun carriages, shot, shell, &e. The armaments ordered for Wave Basin and Abb's Point, Sunderland, are also in course of shipment on board the Clarendine, and those intended for Fairy Cov e , Hugh Batters, and Lighthouse Point, at Hartlepool, wil 1 be shipped early next week.

Edward Ireson, late a private in the Woolwich 'division of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, who entered the service in 1856, and, as already stated in The Sun, has passed nearly the whole period since his enlistment in prison, under arrest, and in the hospital, was yesterday discharged from the :service with ignominy, and is consequently ren dered incapable of engaging in future in any capa city under the Crown. Although only four years an d two months in the service he has been tried seven time s b y court - mart i al, and on Monday last he underwent his third sentence of corporal punish ment, aeon former occasions, without evincing the slightest sensibility. After suffering the full award of 50 lashes he was remitted to the infirmary for treatment, when ce he was again released, and was drummed out of the barracks. Having invariably disposed of his uniform and the whole of his kit, he was yesterday b rought up under an armed escort into the barrack-sg ure dressed as a navv y, having been employed sin ce h i s last desertion in ex cavating the common sewer. The Whole battalion was drawn up to witness the degradation, and hay mn they afterwa r d s marched ing formed into colu into line, and opened ranks , when the delinquent was paraded along the front of ea ch rank, sull enl y refusing to ma rc h according to military regula tions. At the conclusion of the ceremony he was escorted to the back entrance of the bar r acks , pre ceded by the fifes a n d d rum s beating the " Rogue' s march," and he was finally set at liberty. No sooner free from military control than he com menced defiant gestures and significant threats, which were totally unheeded, and he afterwards took his departure for his accustomed haunts in the lower part of the town, where he has been long screened from detection, in spite of the vigilance of the police and the picket sent in search of him.

The ceremony of distributing the prize medals to the winners at the late competition of the members of the London Rifle Volunteer Brigade at Wimble don will take place at the Guildhal this evening, upon the return of the regiment from its march out to Stoke Newington. The medals will be presented by Lieutenant-Colonel Hicks, at 7 o'clock. The presentation of a silver bugle, the gift of the ladies of the neighbourhood, to the 23d Kent Rifle Volunteers took place last Wednesday, in the gar den-court of the seat of Lord De Lisle, Penhurst place. The bugle was presented by Lady Louisa Wells, wife of the captain of the corps and sister of Lord Elcho. The corps numbers 67, though only formed from three rural parishes—Penshurst, Leigh, and Chiddingstone ; of these 61, with their brass band, mustered on parade. Lady Georgiana Pelham Clinton, of Ranby Hall, will present a silver bugle, subscribed for by the ladies of the neighbourhood, to the Retford corps on the 3d of January. The Newark, Worksop, and other corps will attend the ceremony. On Wednesday afternoon the inspection of the 2d Carmarthen Company of Rifle Volunteers took place in the presence of a large concourse of spec tators. The inspecting officer was Major Roney, the recently appointed Inspector of Volunteers for the South Wales district. Major Roney took the opportunity of expressing his entire satisfaction at the manner in which they had performed their drill. On Tuesday last the Rugby School Rifle Corps paraded for the first time in their uniform. On Thursday the corps again assembled in uniform, and in the presence of a large number of the gentry of the town ani. neighbourhood was presented with a very handsome regulation bugle by its comman dant, Major Johnstone. Major Johnstone called upon the volunteers for three cheers for our beloved Queen, and after that for three cheers for Dr. Temple, the head master, and three for the remaining masters and the school. These having all been lustily given, Capt. M. Davenport, senior officer, after having received the bugle and given it into the custody of the bugler, Mr. Hazeldine, called for three cheers for Major Johnstone, which was heartily responded to. The commanding officer addressed the corps at the conclusion of the evolutions in a flattering man ner, expressing the satisfaction it gave him, as well as many military gentlsmen present, to see the proficiency they had attained, and the desire which he felt to see them second to none in discipline and military knowledge. This is the second bugle which has lately been given to the Rngby School Corps— the first having been presented by "An old Rugbeian," without any ceremony of presentation. Although the corps has only lately been supplied with arms, the members have attained such excel lence in their drill that they are to be put through the blank cartridge and aiming drill previous to the Christmas vacation. Captain Hatton, commanding the Ist Company 14th Kent Artillery (Royal Dockyard Brigade, Woolwich), received a communication on Thursday last from Messrs. Samuel, Brothers, military cloth ing contractors of Ludgate-hill, expressing a desire to present a silver prize goblet to the corps to be awarded to the most successful competitor in target firing. The offer having been accepted the match will come off at an early period. The weapons to be used on the occasion will be the new rifle car bine, with which the brigade has been recently supplied. A meeting of commanding officers of Volunteer battalions in Yorkshire was held at the Station Hotel at York on Wednesday last for the purpose of endeavouring to form an association for the encouragement and promotion of rifle shooting throughout the county. Lieutenant-Colonel Briggs of the Ist West Riding of Yorkshire Rifle Volun teers, was called to the chair, and he read letters which had been received from the Earl of Carlisle, the Earl of Zetland, Earl Fitzwilliam, Earl de Grey and Ripon, Earl Cathcart, Lord Wenlock, Sir John Ramsden, and other gentlemen, signifying their high approval of the objects of the meeting, and their readiness to render every assistance towards the formation of so important and necessary an association. At a meeting the proposed rules for the working of the association, which have been drawn up in accordance with the form adopted by the National and other county Rifle Associa tions, were read over and discussed, and it was then determined that copies of the same should be im mediately forwarded to the lords-lieutenant for their approval ; and that on this being obtained they should be published and distributed throughout the county, and every effort made to gain subscribers both among the public and the Volunteers. It was also determined to form an organization committee. The funds for the rile contest of the 6th North York (Scarborough) Volunteers continue to receive considerable augmentation. The actress Mrs. Case (Miss Grace Egerton) has presented the corps with £B, the profits of an entertainment given by her in Scarborough for the purpose; and Mr. Case has also added Xi is. to the prize fund. The corps are most assiduous at target practice. The members of the corps have subscribed the sun of .£2O, to be presented iu a purse to Sergeant Withers, as a mark of esteem, and of the high appreciation of his ser vices in promoting the advancement of the corps. LAW IN 7EL I,l','ENCE—Dec. 14. thoughts of proceeding on his autumn journey. The plaintiff afterwards took 60 or 70 acres of land at Walberton, in Sussex, and went down there to reside. The company had employed detectives to watch the plaintifeß movements both in London and at Walberton. The plaintiff, in his eVidente, described at length his symptoms, and the annoy ance which he had suffered in consequence of having been watched, Medical evidence was given that the watching had aggravated the plaintiff's ail ments, and that the result of the injury would pro bably be that he would not be able to pante his business of a commercial traveller again. The earlier symptoms had shown that there was injury to the kidneys, and two of the medical men thought that an abscess was forming in one of the deep seated muscles of the back. Another circumstance in the ease was that the plaintiff had been insured in the Accidental Insur ance Company for £l,OOO in the event o f d ea th, and .E 5 a week during total incapacity to do any thing. The company had paid him £5 a week for 31 weeks, and afterwards compromised his claim by giving him £lOO more. Mr. Bovill addressed the jury, and made a num ber of statements with the vi ew o f s h ow i ng t h at t h e plaintiff had exaggerated his symptoms. He also complained that Mr. Solly had not been allowed I to examine the plaintiff last evening so as to form a better opinion as to his state of health at that moment. Mr. Quain said the application for examination was not made until seven o'clock last night, when some of the parties had left his solicitor's office, and the attendance of Mr. Holford could not be pro cured. The plaintiff was, however, now ready to undergo examination, and indeed both he and his solicitor had courted it throughout. The plaintiff accordingly went into his lordship's private room, and was examined by Mr. Solly and Mr. Adams, in the presence of Mr. Smee. On the return of the parties, Mr. Bovill proposed that Mr. Solly should at once go into the witness box, and without any previous communication with anybody connected with the cause, state what his opinion now was. Mr. Solly was sworn and stated that he had not seen the plaintiff from the 19th of March until he appeared in the box yesterday. When he examined him in March he was not satisfied with the state ment made to him ; but he was much struck with the altered appearance of the plaintiff yesterday, and therefore he desired to examine him. The examination which he had just made had convinced him that the plaintiff had suffered a very severe injury, and one which he was not prepared from his first examination to find. The opinion he now held was not derived from any statement made to him, but from physical examination. There was a decided alteration in the structure of the muscles of the back. When he saw the plaintiff in March he had a calm pulse, and there was not any appear ance of serious injury then; but now there was no question about it. The jury, after a few remarks from his lordship, retired to consider the amount of damages, and after an absence of half an hour, they gave a verdict for the plaintiff for £2,000. COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES, (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.) WINSTONE V. WINSTONE. This was a petition by Thomas Winstone for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of the adul tery of his wife, Henrietta Winstone, with John Godfrey Dyne. The respondent and the co-re spondent denied the charge of adultery, and the respondent further charged the petitioner with cruelty. Mr. Sergeant Pigott and Dr. Spinks appeared for the petitioner; Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. Mathews for the respondent. Mr. Winstone was a coal and wine merchant, and he was married to the respondent, whose maiden name was Marshall, in May, 1836. They lived together in different lodgings at the west end of London until 1847, but had no children. Several persons who had visited and had been on intimate terms with them, were called, and stated that Mr. Winstone always behaved kindly to his wife, and that they appeared to be on very good terms. Some of the servants who had been in their employment gave evidence to a similar effect. One gentleman, however, Mr. Lacy, had heard him complain of his wife's extravagance, and also her familiarity with Mr. Dyne. On the 25th of March, 1847, she quitted his house, leaving, as her husband repre sented, the following note : " As you have given mo leave to go out of the house while whitewashing and cleaning is going forward, I have taken you at your word, for I do not feel equal to bear with such discomfort.—Yours, &c. " HENRIETTA. WINSTONE." As Mrs.Winstone did not return, negotiations were entered into, the result of which was that a deed ofseparation was executed in August, 1847, by which Mr. Winstone covenanted to allow her £5O a-year. It was at first proposed that a brother of Mrs. Win stone should be appointed her trustee under the settlement ; but he was unable to accept the trust, and at the last moment Mr. Dyne's name was inserted. Mr. Dyne kept a school at Turnham green. He was a friend of the Winstones; he had been separated from his wife shortly befo:e 1847, and Mr. Winstone was Mrs. Dyne's trustee under their deed of separation. A few weeks after Mrs. Winstone left her husband's house she went to live with Mr. Dyne as his housekeeper, and remained in his house for about three years. The adultery was alleged to have been committed during this period. Several witnesses were called to prove that Mr. Dyne and Mrs. Winstone appeared to be on very familiar terms, but the principal evidence in support of the charge was given by two servants, Mary Gosler, the cook, and Jane Gough, the house maid. They stated thatlMr. Dyne i and Mrs. Win stone occupied adjoining bedrooms, which had sepa rate entrance doors, but which also had a door of communication between them, that Mr. Dyne had been in Mrs. Winstone's bedroom when she was partially dressed, that she had been once seen in his bedroom in her night dress, and that they had taken spirits and water together in the bedroom before going to bed, and that when the cook went and knocked at his door one morning she heard Mrs, Winstone's voice, which sounded as if she was just waking out of her sleep. Jane Gough also had put a piece of paper b,neath the door of communication between the two rooms to find out wriether it was opened, and it was removed by Mr. Dyne. In 1850 or 1851 a quarrel appeared to have taken place between Mr. Dyne and Mrs. Winstone, for she left him and took lodgings opposite, and he gave orders to the servants not to admit her into the house. In a few weeks, however, she returned and continued to live there until the following year. There was then a seconrt quarrel, and Mrs. Winstone finally left. Mr. Dyne soon afterwards became involved in difficulties, broke up his establishment, and *rent away. Mrs. Winstone has since made an application to her husband for an increased allowance, and upon his refusal to grant it presented a petition for a judicial separation, on the ground of his cruelty. The case was tried in this court, and Mr. Win stone obtained a verdict to the effect that he had not been guilty of cruelty, and that she had been guilty of adultery. It was contended, on behalf of the respondent, that the evidence given in support of the charge of adultery was not sufficiently satisfactory to warrant the jury in finding that the respondent had been guilty. One witness was called who had lived as wardrobe-keeper with Mr. Dyne in 1848 and 1849. This lady, Mrs. Maguire, said that ehe had never witnessed any undue familiarity between Mr. Dyne and Mrs. Winstone. In sunpart of the charge of cruelty Mrs. Anthony, the sister of Mrs. Winstone, was examined. Mrs. Anthony stated that she had visited at her sister's house, and had heard Mr. Winstone use bad lsnguage and threaten to push her out of the room. Mr. Clayton and Mr. De Morgan, two medical men who had attended Mrs. Winstone, were also called to prove that she had for some years been suffering from the disease of cancer in the breast, and was still in a dangerous state. It was in consequence of this malady, as the learned counsel for the respondent suggested, that she had been compelled to make an effort to obtain an in creased allowance from her husband. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, in London, befurd Lord Chief Justice Erie and a Special Jury. AYLING V. THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COM PANY.— COLLISIGN ON THE LINE AND INJURY TO THE PASSENGERS —DAMAGES £2,000. This was an action to recover damages for injuries sustained upon the defendants' line. Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Quain, and another learned gentleman appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Bovill and Mr. Field were for the defendants. The plaintiff, Mr. Charles Parker Ayling, was a gentleman 36 years of age, and he had been in the employ of Messrs. Holdsworth, manufacturers of damask, carrying on business at Bradford and Hali fax. He had been in the service of this firm six years, his salary commencing at £l6O a year, and rising to £275. He had also been promised in the ensuing year to have his salary raised to £3OO. He was allowed a guinea a day for travelling expenses. On the morning of the 13th February last he started by railway from London to go to Margate, and travelled by second class. At half-past four they arrived at Grove Ferry Station, when the train was shifted on to the up line, and while proceeding along the up line towards Ramsgate the train came into collision with an engine, which was standing on the up line. The plaintiff was thrown violently forward to the opposite side of the carriage, and the rim of his hat came against another passenger's chin and cut it severely. The plaintiff's sensation was that of having had a violent twisting at the lower part of the back. The plaintiff went on to Ramsgate, where he slept, and he believed he was not seriously hurt, but in the morning he was alarmed to see that blood had passed with his urine. For two days, however, he remained at Ramsgate and the neighbourhood, endeavouring to do his business, but on the third day he felt unable to continue his work, and he come up to town and consulted his medical man, Mr. Holford, of Haver stock-bill. He also wrote to the railway company, and on the 18th February Mr. Adams, the eminent surgeon, was sent by the, company to examine him. Mr. Adams agreed with the treatment adopted by Mr. Holford. On the 25th of February the plaintiff made an effort to resume his business, but without success, and Mr. Holford presci ibed per feet rest. On the 16th of March Mr. Solly saw the plaintiff on behalf of the company, and he also had an interview with Mr. Holford. Mr. Solly seemed to think that the plaintiff exaggerated his s y m ptoms,ende avatar to shake it off. Mr. Holford, in defe renceespecially woo high position to the occupied by Mr. Solly, in two or three at a plaintiff to at.: a matter of this kind, advised the more active course of life, but longer.

He also called a man named Smith, who stated that on the 3d of November he eras with the co-respondent at a publichouse called the Golden Arnis froth half-past 11 till 12 o'clock at night, when the house was closed. It was contended that this statement of Mrs. Urry's was so improbable that it ought not to be credited. • The Judge Ordinary, in summing up, observed that it was a very obscure story. The jury found that the co-respondent had been guilty of adultery with Mrs. Dolby. The learned Judge observed that they had found adultery upon very slender evidence, and his Lord ship declined to make the decree at once. let him eat," and where it has been laid down from the Bench that it is not necessary a man should live, the emptying of these hives of idleness will hardly need any defenee When we hear of a tm ,- . .dred fellows doing nothing whatever, but sub sisting on the alms which they demand from the pocati.Oft tiEtin of eternal misery, we have no hesitaa tion in 6bitiug dcsv;itt the house of prayer fora den of thieves.

These *etc respect, even if sometimes our pity prevail over every either feeling. What we do not respect or pity, except as we pity vice, is a mere series of devotional exer cises. When we hear of men in the prime of life, with their passions strong on them, and stronger from idleness, occupying themselves in a daily and nightly round of services, we know very well what most of them will be in the absence of restraint aye, in the secrecy of their own minds. They will be bad men. Their service will be a mockery, their prayers will come from lying lips, their oblations will be vain, and they will have no more power of interceding for their fellow-sinners than any son of honest or dishonest toil. We know too well the sort of character produced in this country by a religious profession upon a " fat" heart, a sluggish temperament, and an empty mind. Hap pily our clergymen are generally men of high education, in good society, with absorbing, if not always spiritual pursuits, and surrounded by good objects and wholesome influences; not the least those of the domestic hearth. Here and there we have in the lower ranks of the clergy the type of the foreign or the medirevel Monk. It is the man with the small round of duties, the prayers he is paid for, and which he will double or treble for twice or thrice the pay. Without position, without mental occupation, without one pure interest or vivi fying ray of light in his soul, with craving appetite and a wandering eye, he must come to the bad, and it is only a question of time when his spiritual bankruptcy is revealed to the day. Happily we can have but few such men, as British society is intolerant of idleness, and certainly is not disposed to spare clergymen, But there are men enough of this sort to show what a Monk pay become under favouring circumstances, and what he does gene rally become where monasticism has long had its way. We are not charging all Monks with sensu ality, for in truth a mere dreamy, idle, good-for nothingness is the prevailing character of the Italianorders. They do not work, and many almost seem to comply with the apostolic condition of not eating either. But even a half-starved but con tented idleness is a curse to a country, and an in fraction of nature's first and greatest law. An Italian, as well as an Englishman, must do some thing if he is to keep out of harm's way.— Times. DOLBY V. DOLBY AND HEWITT. Mr. E. Ward appeared for the petitioner; and Mr. Biron for the co-respondent. The respondent did not appear. The petitioner, John Dolby, was marries' to the respondent in 1849, and lived with her until 1857. He prayed for a dissolution on the ground of adul tery. The co-respondent pleaded a denial of the adultery, condonation, and connivance. It appeared in 1857 the petitioner was carrying on business as a chemise and druggist at Market Rasen in Lincolnshire, and iu the November of that year was obliged to go to Hull on business. The case rested entirely on the evi dence of Mrs. thry, a neighbour to Mrs. Dolby. She stated that on the evening of the 3d of Nov., immediately after the petitioner's departure, she went to call on Mrs. Dolby ; that she staid to tea and passed the evening with her, and consented, on her invitation, to sleep with her ; that Mr. Hewitt, who is a builder in the town, came in ; that after a short time he apparently went away ; that she got into bed at 10 o'clock, and went fast asleep; that sh e wo k e b e t ween 12 a n d 1 in the morning and f oun d that b ot h H ew i tt an d M rs .

No. I.—YE MAN IN YE STREET. In days gone by, this well-known appendage of Turf mysteries was supposed to be a myth—he is now a solid mass of very commonplace humanity—in fact, there are many of the species living, and I will describe some of them. The present wayfarer, in his pilgrimage through the busy streets of London, may not be aware that in a part of the ancient City, within the precincts of the parish of St. Bridget, otherwise St. Bride, and skirting its burial ground, is a circuitous narrow street, called Bride-lane — in the last generation when Lumber Troopers and other political personages dwelt or met in the City, it was known as containing a celebrated place of resort for venerable fogies celled Cogers, who imbibed beer and puffed tobacco in an inn called Cogers' Hall ; but Cogers and Lumber Troopers are things of the past, and a new class frequents the locality; for during the racing season the lane is crowded by the strangest conglomerate of the human. form divine to be met within the bills of mortality. My younger brother, Mr. Wellington Hill Greenhorn, had been intended from infancy for the army. The cash was ready for a commission in her Majesty's Coldcreams, but want o interest prevailed, and so the youth grew beyond the age at which mushroom officers are gene rally received. He was apparently El, well-regulated lad, decorous in outward form, of dashing, rollicking spirit, when let loose ; and lighted up briar-wood pipes out of sight of the paternal windows ; still we never supposed him to he a backer of horses, and I had now and then taken the trouble to caution him against the manyrisks insepara ble from any indulgence in that line. His father thought that the popular movement would contrive to fill up his leisure hours, and was glad to hear that he had enrolled himself in a corps locally knovtn as the "Mile End Mons trosities ; " but he soon discovered that they were a very snobbish set, and having satisfied himself that an invasion of England from any quarter was not on the cards, he ex changed into the "Finsbury Funkingtens," whose uniform was a little more dazzling than the other, and the rank and file generally much more jelly. At squad drill he had more particularly fraternised with an uncle, one' of the ancient guild of Lombards, now bearing the sign of the three golden dumplings, and with another enthusiastic volunteer, who proved to be the son and heir of an eminent undertaker; one was known as " Balls " and the other as " Coffins," and both were addicted to "backing 'em," so that it can scarce be wondered at Greenhorn, jun., follow ing suit, and it was from my having discovered this little weakness that I paid an occasional visit to Bride-lane. I had heard of the " London Welsh Brigade," and seen it advertised in the daily newspapers, so that on my first turning out of Fleet-street and finding myself surrounded by " Welchers " of every grade, it struck me that I had suddenly got into not over reputable company, and a very natural impulse suggested an instant retreat ; but just at this moment I caught sight of my worthy brother in earnest converse with a short, middle-aged fellow, looking like a decayed jockey made up for a funeral party. I stood a moment unobserved, when he said, "You must stand him two pound, sir, and one soy for a place," when a loud voice behind me said, " Now, then, on you goes to Turkey ;" with which a portion of the crowd began to move slowly forward, and, turning round, I found that the voice was that of a good-tempered-looking policeman, who walked along the footway followed by a part only of the brigade, and this part gradually tailed off, so that when the constable had arrived at the point where the lane turns at a direct angle they were all busy at their avocation, and he leisurely went to the other end, and as leisurely returned. When he got to the angle again and varied his speech by the simple words, "Move on," a few then honoured him by walking quietly along to the Fleet street end, and so the thing went on. I found that there was some joke about the inhabitants having been annoyed, and the " traffic" of the street impeded, which had occasioned the officer to be placed there on special duty, with instruc tions to apprehend any one infringing the law suppressing betting houses, or committing a breach of the peace. The in , habitants in that portion of the betting exchange most fre quently appeared to be but few. On the right-hand side wee the high wall of the churchyard, on the left a public house milk and chandler shops, and a warehouse of some kind, used as a hospital fcr decayed pianofortes ; and as to the traffic, I should think that nothing beyond a dust cart early in the morning, one of Herbert Clarke's coal waggons, or an occasional " Shillibeor" on a Sunday, ever entered the street; nor would pedestrians be likely to traverse it, for as Dickens, I think, once said, it led out of some place that nobody ever came from to some other place that nobody ever went to. It is not worth while to record the common slang used by the class of which I am writing, and which I have noticed in modern print ad nauseam about " milk ing," " bottling," " roping," &c., &c. There was plenty of it on this occasion, for the owner, trainer, and all con nected with one " Man Friday," were fearfully denounced for having " misled" the public, the same " public" con sisting of the choice lot by whom I was surrounded. My near relative on catching sight a his elder brother had contrived to slip away somewhere, but I managed to un earth the young gentleman at the bar of an adjoining "public," where several knowing old hands were assembled for business, and where in very large letters stood the words, "No betting allowed at this bar." A loquacious fellow had followed me in, and, gently touching my arm, said inquiringly, " Want to back anything, sir ?" I hastily, perhaps rudely, replied in the negative, and said something bout a stranger taking a liberty. " Never mind, never mind," he remarkei quietly, " no liberty, sir; this is a free country. I saw you among the noble army of martyrs, and thought, of course, you wanted to lay out a trifle. I have a certainty, but never mind." This was the exact way to touch the chord, and I told him so ; he seemed to misunderstand me, but admitted that there were several parties who ought to have "touched a cord" long ago, and that it was not impossible Mr. Ketch may some day or other get hold of them. I had now joined my brother and his two friends; they turned out to be Messrs. Balls and Coffin, the volunteers, who, having half an hour to spare, had just looked in accidentally to hear whether there was anything stirring. In answer to my enquiry as to tho chance of the peripatetic bookmakers meeting at settling day, they said, very much to my sur prise, that two or three were always to be heard of—pro bably because they had not been "hit"—and paid with great regularity. Having arrived outside, and standing on a step, I had a full view of the betting exchange, which by that time had become more crowded. There stood the policeman getting bewildered, and repeating the phrase which half an hour before had startled me, , g Now my lads, on you goes to Turkey; move on I" but the lads did not appear in any hurry to get to that spot of oriental luxuriance. The ,ope ration was not easy, and getting much the sa me as Jullieanr: "promenade" concerts in his best days. The man of m inded in the street was spare-looking, but intelligent —he rem me of the performing elephant in a travelling menagerie, who, without any apparent effort, picks up minute things with its sensitive trunk from visitors' hands, and deposits them with great rapidity in its mouth, The geia.. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—WINCHESTER, DEC. 14. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) The execution of James Johnson, condemned at these assizes, for the double murder at Aldershott, has been fixed to take place in front of the county gaol at Winchester, on Tuesday morning, the Ist of January. Edward Wilton 5, pleaded guilty to bigamy, at Portsmouth. Barnes,lt was alleged that the second wife knew that the prisoner was a married man at the time of their marriage, but she denied it. Prisoner was sentenced to nine months' impri sonment and hard labour. Thomas Mullens, convicted yesterday of the man slaughter of John Wickham, at Portsmouth, was sentenced to six months' hard labour. Wm. Pullen, 21, James Gilroy, 22, and Wm. Bradshaw, 21, were indicted for wounding George Smith, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm, at Gosport, in the parish of Alverstoke. Mr. Poulden and Mr. Beetham prosecuted ; Mr. W. M. Cooke defended Pullen and Gilroy. The prisoners belonged to the Durham Militia Artillery, and on August 4, while stationed at Gos port, made an attack upon Wheeler and Littlefield, two policemen, who requested them to desist from creating a disturbance in South-street. Smith also expostulated with them, and was called on by the police to assist, when he was set upon by the sol diers, who beat him with their belts, each having a heavy buckle upon it ; his nose was cut through, his face and head were wounded, and he bled very considerably. The jury convicted the prisoners of unlawfully wounding. A second indictment, for the assaults on the police, was abandoned by the learned counsel for the prosecution. The prisoners had been four months in gaol. His lordship strongly deprecated the use of sol diers' belts. Pullen and Gilroy were sentenced to six months' hard labour ; Bradshaw, who had not used his belt, to one month's hard labour. Eliza Steel, 22, a servant, was indicting for con cealing the birth of her child, at Basingstoke. Mr. Beetham prosecuted. In the month of September the prisoner was in the service of Mr. Wigg, a highly respectable farmer residing at Basingstoke. On the'l7th, in con sequence of something having occurred, Drew, the superintendent of police, instituted a search, and in a closet found the body of a male child, undressed, partially covered with soil. He tcok the body to the police station. It presented no marks of vio lence. Prisoner, in reply to the policeman's charge of murder or concealment, said that she had neither murdered nor concealed her child. She had had a miscarriage in the closet. Mr. Charles Webb, the surgeon, said that it was a full-grown child. It had a healthy appearance, and there were no marks of violence, but he was unable to prove that the child had been born alive. It had only partially, and very imperfectly, breathed. His Lordship said the statute required, in order to make this young person guilty of concealment, that she must have been guilty of conceclment by burying or otherwise secretly disposing of the body. There was no evidence of this fact in this case, and there was no reason to suppose that any violence was used to this child. The jury acquitted the prisoner. This case terminated the assizes. Mr. Justice Byles will open his commission at Exeter on Satur day afternoon. ITALY AND IPLENESS. Perhaps there is no country in the world where the pleasure of living by one's wits is more thoroughly appreciated than in Italy. With some men the ideal of existence is the science of policy and the art of power. With some it is high art and a degree of scientific attainment for which Italy is too little credited. With some it is reli gious contemplation and devotional exercises. With some it is dwelling amid antiquities and inter preting to strangers between the old world and the modern. With some it is brigandage, whieh is nowhere so quiet and respectable a business as in that peninsula and the famous island from which it is scarcely separated. With a large class it is men dicancy. This national taste, whatever its form, is one that must be kept within bounds by the Power that undertakes the regeneration of The task is great indeed, but necessary ; for idleness, in one form or another, is t'ie subject of as great a competition there as industry is in this country. The army there may be swo len to any extent, on the single condition of doing little in reace, and being at liberty to go home or change sides in war. At Naples it is a matter of: astonishment to see the immense population that daily takes to the sea with no other object than to ensnare a very few small fish, hardly worth bringing to shore. No wonder that in such a country, where exist ence itself is enjoyable, and all that is wanted is the barest means of prolonging existence from day to day, the great Papal army of monks should he in great favour. To be relieved from all care, to be assured of ore's daily bread, to go through a daily routine of praises and prayers, to take an occasional walk through the streets with nothing to hurry one's steps or tie one's attention, is so entirely to the taste of many Italians that, were the Court of Rome left to itself, it would easily divide the people of Italy into two moieties, whereof one it might call the Kingdom of Heaven, the other the men of Gibeon, condemned to hew wood and draw water for the saints. Nay, we might go fur ther. Nine tent'as of Italy would be quite content to enjoy a spiritual or transcendental state of existence while the rest of the world ministered to their sublunary wants. The great prizes of life, indeed, have power to dispel the charm of dolee far niente ; but Italy is not the country of middle-class activity and vulgar ambition. The Italian feels with Cesar that he would rather be first in a vil lage than second at Rome; and, if he must be second, he cares little how low he comes in the scale so as his honour be saved. If Italy is to be saved, and if it is to take a place in the first rank of European States—for nothing less will content it—it must put an end to the pro fession of idleness. The work, we are now informed, hes been alrcaiy commenced, with the needful cau tion. From Perugia we hear that the Religious Orders have been suppressed, with the exception of those " which have deserved well of the country," and Government has been charged with the religious Treasury. The convents of Umbria have been closed, with the exception of several establishments which, es in France and other revolutionized countries, are to be retained for hospitals and sch ools. The members of the suppressed orders have been pensioned off, no doubt with allowance moderate enough to leave them disposed for remunerative employment. A considerable portion of the monastic revenues has been appropriated to some charitable institutions, and the surplus has been reserved for religious works and public instruction. As England has gone through a similar crisis, it will be able to do justice to tne public spirit and Royal resolution which has saved these revenues from the grasp of private cupidity. Every historian and every Reformer has deplored in his day, and remonstrated in vain, that the revenues of our own religions houses might not be applied to education and charity. In a few instances the demand was listened to. Even before the great suppression the noble College of Christ church arose out of the small religious houses which Cardinal Wolsey was Reformer enough to condemn, and not without reason. Christ's Hospital and Bridewell—once a reformatory—and a few other similar institutions, are all that London has saved from that wreck , which might have endowed charity and education for ever. Italy has our example to avoid, and we trust she will do so, if only with the heroic disin terestedness of the " Dictator" to stimulate or to shame her; but, however this may be, the first and most important step has been taken. The bulk of this Papal army has been disbandcd, and to the numerous other classes now wandering about Italy, as sheep without a shepherd, and ready we should think to close with any good master and any respect able service, we may add the greater number of those who for ages have been devouring the strength of fair Italy, and contributing so little to its happiness or morality. In this country, where we are all taught from our childhood that "if any one will not work, neither tlemah in question held his thick book in left and pencil in right hand, which he extended for coin. A half " soy" —perhaps " a so v"—was dropped mechanically in, and the horse named. The coin was then placed between the book maker's teeth while he entered the transaction, and then it was dropped into the waistcoat pocket. The pro cess was repeated in less time than it takes to state the fact —the layer quietly moving on in obedience to the police man's injunction, and the wide awakes and greenhorns following to take their turns. What a memory must be needed for such a pursuit ! Hundreds of little transactions in a morning, 10s. being the lowest sum taken. How apparently easy for some ingenious rough to watch a verdant looking taker of odds, hear the price and name given, apply the next day before the real Simon Pure, and get the money. I was told that the idea had struck several practical hands, who had attempted to carry it out, but the layer was too vinch for them. He was called the " City Leviathan," seemed careworn, like a Chancellor of the Exchequer with a puzzling budget. What a rare accountant this gentle man would make. The mild and memory of such a man must prove invaluable to many of our go-ahead merchants. A scheming leather firm, now, with a dozen or so of branches all working to a given pobt—an externally pious banking affair, or a large conce rn of aQy kind—would find one of the leviathan's class a treasure. He may be, and possibly is, alone in his extreme industry—however this may be, the denizens of the lane mostly 'spoke well of hint. Some little joking had been going on, chiefly as to the motley groups before us, when the volunteers took their departure, and a seedy sportsman, who had evidently seen other days, accosted me in a civil way, and hinted that he knew something to my advantage. I was, of course, deli. rolls of being enlightened at once, when he said there was a rare rig going on—a horse had been scratched last night, and a number of Welchers had made him first favourite — that 2 to 1 was being taken in immense quantities of silver —that the " Leviathan" would net touch him, and I must be on my guard not to follow the public money. I inquired the use of such a process, the bets being obviously void if taken the day after a horse had been struck out. " True, the bets are off," said the man, an d the layers will all be off, too, when the ring breaks up at three? o'clock." The policeman was nowhere to be seen, but the public were frantic about the " favourite," and no one knew die reason of his scratching having been omitted from the tissue i —So the Welchers had a very profitable afternoon, and sufficient to launch them fairly on the winter. I thanked the seedy gentleman for his information, and thought that, whether it was true or not, his motive was good. I after wards was told that the news was quite correct — that the Greenhorns on this occasion had been victimised again. A disagreeable-looking fast boy, with a very dirty pipe, was emerging from the tavern door as I was about leaving. He said to me—" I say, guv'nor, what's the odds about Spurgeon's new concern being finished before Christmas r I have no doubt of the fellow being some low scamp, and did not think much of his discrimination in selecting me as an authority on such a subject. The " man in the street" may follow his occupation with out the cost of an establishment—rent, taxes, club subscriptions, and such things are unknown to him. The great City justices appear to have been out witted at last. They are stated to have set on the police to inform against every place where there would have been some guarantee that the public eye should not be offended, and where bets might have been quietly made without the inducements that an otherwise unfrequented street pre sents for idlers and others to meet together for fleecing that portion of the unwary that can obviously afford it the least. But the fact shows the indomitable pluck of our real Eng lishman, a fixed resolve not to be beaten by trifles, and an energy to surmount anything rather than lose his favourite pastime. A strong love of our national sport pervades, more or less, the beat part of most degrees of society. True gentlemen have large hearts and kindly feelings, are thorough haters of humbug, and respect consistent customs aid prejudices, even though the parties cannot from their positions hope to join the more favoured circles of their betters. At the same time, like the writer, they will ever lend their influence to check and expose patent charlatan ism and open cheating, so let the reader pause before he trusts all the men he may meet with in the street.
