The hearing of this extraordinary case was resumed this morning. Sir R. Phillimore addressed the jury on behalf of the petitioner, and dwelt on the letters which Mr. Chetwynd had written to the servant-maid, letters of a more familiar character than those which he addressed to his wife. He spoke of his acts of cruelty, and contended that the case of the petitioner had been conclusively made out, while the charges Mr. Chetwynd had brought against his wife had entirely failed. He analysed the evidence of Mr. Matthews and the other gentlemen with whom Mrs. Chetwynd was alleged to have misconducted herself, and argued that it completely exculpated her from the cruel charges which her husband had brought against her. (The learned gentleman's speech is likely to occupy the whole day.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day. BOW-STREET. THE CASE OF THE SHENANDOAH.—Captain Corbett, late of the Sea King, again attended to answer a charge preferred against him by the Government of infringing the Foreign Enlistment Act. It will be recollected the Sea King was a fine and powerful steam-vessel, and on her leaving Lon don it was represented to the crew that she was bound for Bombay. Instead of proceeding thither the Sea King was taken to Madeira, where, it was alleged, she was transferred to the Confederate navy, and re-named the Shenandoah ; and Captain Corbett then made certain communications to the crew, a portion of whom remained in the ship, but the majority returned to England. At the first examination some of the crew of the Sea King were examined. Their evidence was to the effect that they were led to believe that the Sea King was bound for Bourbon and China, but on getting to Madeira another vessel, the Laurel, was signalled, and on her coming along side Capt. Corbett told the crew he had sold the ship to the gentleman who then came on board, and then told the crew that those who remained would find it highly advan tageous, but that those who refused would be conveyed back to England. The witness said the gentleman who came on board the Sea King at Madeira was dressed in a drab uniform, with bright buttons, and gold lace on the cuffs. When it was discovered that the vessel had been transferred to the Confederate navy the crew murmured, and then the defendant told them that the vessel was not going to fight, but, that she was intended merely to take homeward-bound ships, and that if they met a man of war they would have to fight their way out. Powder and guns were afterwards shipped on board, and when the Laurel left the Sea King the Confederate flag was hoisted aboard. Alfred Hill, a seaman, this morning gave evidence to the above effect, and in cross-examination he said he resided at Poplar, and the first he heard of this case was the report in the papers. One of his shipmates, a man named Webster, first spoke to him about the matter. When the defendant asked us to join the ship he said if we did not like to do that he would send us home, in the mail boat. John Ellison said he resided at Poplar. He went early in September to the Sailors' Home, and there saw Captain Corbett, and signed articles for a voyage to Bombay and China as Quartermaster. He ,was to have £ 3 a month. On the 7th of October he sent his clothes aboard the Sea King and joined the vessel. The vessel went down Channel, calling at Deal, and from thence to the Start. We went down' Channel under steam and canvas. When we got to the Start we put out fires, and went on to Funchal, where another ivas signalled. She afterwards were then given to rig up the came alongside, steamer, thenand d Laurel , orders main-yard to lift about three tons, as they were to ship some heavy packages. Some had been lifted into the ship when one of the cases broke, and he then saw that it -con tained a 68-pounder gun. He also saw shot, shell, and small arms in some of the other cases. The crew were occupied till two o'clock in the morning, they having began about four on the previous afternoon. After breakfast the boatswain piped all hands aft. Captain Corbett was in the saloon. He came out, shortly after the crew went aft, and there he wah joined by a gentleman in a drab suit, with strips on his cuffs. Captain Corbett asked if all the men were aft, and he was told they were. He then said, " Well, men, I've sold the ship," and he pointed out the captain who was to take charge, and then said " That is the gentleman who is to take charge. You men that wish to join this captain will give you good money." We were to have £l2 to £l5 bounty. Captain Corbett said it was a good . chance for those who would join, and those who refused he would take back to England. He (witness) then said to Captain Corbett, " You've sold the ship, what have you done with the money ? The ship must have been sold before she left England, and you've brought us out here under false articles, and I want some money out of you; so you had better pay us here, for when you get to England we may lose you." He said, " Well, men, I cannot help it." The other captain then spoke up ; he said, " I have come out to take charge of the ship as a privateer to fight for the Confede rate Government ; any of you men who wish to join as able seamen we will give £5 10s. par month, with £l6 bounty, and that will be a good chance for you." lie told the captain he did not wish to join the Confederate service, as he belonged to the English navy ; that he had never earned any money in the country, and that he did not wish to take up arms for it. The captain replied that it wasmot in the country, only on the coast they were going ; ho (witness) told him he did not care, for he had done with the ship. The defendant was present. One of the crew said the matter of wages had better be settled by the Board of Trade. Captain Corbett then, ent to the saloon, and on returning to the deck he bdttoned up his coat, and running to the gangway, then said, "Well men, I'm off, follow me." About eight of the seamen followed him, but he returned and went into the saloon. He after wards went on the poop and spoke to a Naval ;Reserve man, named John Allen. He persuaded him to join the ship. • Sir Thomas Henry—Persuaded him ! what did he say ? Witness—He said, addressing Allen, " The best thing you can do, Allen, is to join the ship. You will get £l4 a month, and £2O bounty as second gunner of the Shenan doah. If yon remain I'll say nothing about the Reserve." Sir Thomas Henry—A Naval Reserve man is not allowed to sign such articles. Witness—No, Sir. 1 Sir Thomas Henry—The captain is bound to report him if he does, is ho not ? Witness--yes. The witness then went on to say that four of the crew re mained on board the Shenandoah, the rest left in the Laurel, and he was finally sent home in a ship called the Calabar. In cross-examination the witness said he saw the gentle man in grey clothes walk off the bridge of the Laurel on to the bridge of the Sea King with a revolver in his hand. John Allen, he believed, had gone to the West Indies on a voyage. There were about 12 or 14 officers who came from the Laurel, who must have heard the defendant urge Allen to join the ship. The only seaman he recollected seeing while the officers were speaking to the men was Richard Savage. The witnesses who have already been examined might have been there—he could not say, as there was such a bustle on deck, trying to get the men to enter the ship. Charles Sell said he recollected the Laurel coming along side the Sea King, and the shipping of the heavy packages. He went like the rest when the boatswain piped all hands aft. He saw Capt. Corbett there. He said " I've sold the ship. She's going to be a Confederate cruiser, and if any f you like to join her, you can, as most of you are single men, and you'll very likely make a good thing out of it." He said if we did not go with the ship we were to follow him. The defendant said we should have £4 19s. a month, and £lO bounty. Capt. Corbett said the gentleman in the grey clothes was the new commander of the Sea King. The gentleman said the vessel was not going to fight ; she was going to take prizes the same as the Alabama, but that if they got jammed in a corner, they would have to fight their way out. When the commander came on deck in his uniform, he asked Captain Corbett if he had many married men aboard. He replied "No ; as he had taken care of that when ship ping the men. He heard Ellison say he had signed for a voyage to Bombay under the English flag, and he wasn't going to sail under any other. He heard the defendant afterwards say to the men who refused to join, " Well, if you won't like it, you must follow me." He (witness) re turned to the Laurel. - Sir Thomas Henry—Did Captain Corbett ask you when you were engaged whether you were married or single ? Witness—No, but I heard him ask others. Sir Thomas Henry—Where ? Witness—ln the shipping office, bnt I can't tell the name oi any particular one that the question was put to except flie boatswain, and he is not now in England. When he heard the question put he was standing behind a lot of other men, who were all strangers to him. ' The witness Ellison was recalled, and asked whether he was asked when he joined the Sea King if he was married or single, and he replied he was not, but he heard some few observations made by Captain Corbett about his not intending to leave any half-pay notes. Sir Thomas Henry—That would apply to married men principally. Witness—Yes. Mr. Sleigh—And to single men, also, I presume. Witness—Yes. John Webster gave similar evidence to that given by the preceding witness, about the commander coming on board the Sea King, adding, that he wore a gold band round his cap, and had gold lace on his coat. He then repeated the evidence already given, respecting their offer to join the ship after it had been declared that she had become the property of the Confederate Govern ment. The commander told the crew that the vessel was only going to pick up sailing vessels as they were coming home, not to fight. Previous to landing from the Laurel at Teneriffe, Captain Corbett told the men, if any person asked them questions when they got ashore, to say that they were shipwrecked seamen, and that they had lost their vessel at sea. Mr. Jose ph Data said be was a clerk in the General THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 19, 1865. This evidence concluded the case for the Crown. Bail was taken for his appearance at the sessions. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Record and Register Office of Seamen and Shippers. He produced the original articles of the Sea King. Llspector Clarke said he went to Liverpool, armed with a warrant signed by Sir T. Henry. He found the defen dant on the 4th of January, in his own house, at breakfast. He told him who he was. He said he was an inspector of the Thames police, and that he held a warrant for his (de fendant's) apprehension. He commenced reading the war rant, when Captain Corbett replied " You've no occasion to read the document. I know all about It. I expected this." Mr. Sleigh, for Capt. Corbett, said he felt that that was not the proper place to enter into a full defence. He, how ever, must be allowed to say that it did not redound to the credit of the Government, that they having failed in their prosecutions with respect to ships, now thought it proper to come to the minor alternative of prosecuting individuals. C&ptain Corbett had a full answer to all the facts, and until the trial he hoped the public would reserve ther judgment. Sir T. Henry then fully committed Captain Corbett for UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—Mr. Edward Dinglar, of No. 8, Foley-street, Portland-place, money-lender, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk, disorderly, and assault ing Police-constable John Harris, 304 A. The constable stated that about eleven o'clock last night the defendant was ejected from the London Pavilion Music Hall, Tichborne-street. He advised the defendant to go away quietly, upon which ho turned round and gave him a severe blow in the face. • Mr. Knox asked the constable whether he gave the de fendant any provocation. The constable said he did not. The defendant was drunk. Mr. Knox asked the defendant whether he wished to ask the constable any questions. The defendant said he was not aware that he struck the constable. He had not the slightest knowledge of what occurred. Mr. Knox said the defendant had behaved very badly. The defendant was ejected from the music hall, which was no fault of the constable, and then when the constable ad vised him to go away, he gave him a severe blow. He should fine the defendant 40s or 14 days' imprisonment in default. DESTROYING CLOTHING IN WORKHOITSES.—Two strong, healthy-looking fellows, named George Williams and John Clark, were brought before Mr. Knox, charged with de stroying their clothing in St. George's Workhouse, Mount street, Grosvenor-square. Plowright, the porter of the workhouse, said that about six o'clock yesterday evening, the prisoners applied for a night's shelter. It was given them immediately, and this morning it was found that they had cut up their clothes, one even cutting up his boots. The prisoners, who were attired in coarse canvas slops, introduced into the workhouse, with the view of deterring persons from destroying their clothing—said they had nothing to say. Mr. Knox said if the prisoners imagined they could get admitted to the casual ward of the workhouse, and then cut up their clothes and be supplied with new ones they were mistaken. It was downright cheating. Committed for 21 days each. CHARGE OF ROBBING A LICENSED VICTUALLER.—Mary Gray, a shabbily-attired unfortunate, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a breast-pin of the value of £lO from the person of Mr. Henry Videon, licensed victualler, 51, Dean-street, Soho. The prosecutor said that about half-past one that morn ing he met the prisoner in the Haymarket, and she asked him to go with her to the York Hotel, a brothel. They went there, but did not stop, and they afterwards walked down Regent-street, when the prisoner demanded £2 of him, and because he did not comply with her demand she knocked off his hat, and then stole his breast pin, of the value of £lO. She then behaved so violently that he was obliged to hold her till a constable came up, when he gave her in Charge. The prisoner said that when she took thepin sho said she would keep it till the prosecutor gave her £2 which she considered she was entitled to. Kingston, 184 C, said that hearing cries of police he went up, and found the prosecutor and prisoner on the grou n d. Being got up, the prosecutor charged the prisoner with stealing his pin. She denied having it, but he took it from her hand. Prisoner said she did not deny having it, but denied stealing. The constable said the prisoner denied having it, and there was a woman standing by when he went up, and she put out her hand as if to take it. The prisoner afterwards said she only took the pin " for a lark." In answer to Mr. Knox, Barnes, the gaoler, said the pri soner had several times been charged with being drunk, but there was no conviction against her for felony. Mr. Knox said he should remand her for a week, and if no prosecutor was then present—which he did not think there would be—he should discharge her, the prosecutor's conduct in going to the Haymarket, then going to a house with the prisoner, and afterwards walking with her, not being very creditable to him. ClutnxvJ stmylar - • HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, Jan. 18. Her Majesty and her Royal Highness Princess Helena drove out yesterday afternoon, attended by Colonel Ponsonby. In the morning Princess Helena rode on horseback, attended by Lady Churchill. Princess Louise went out walking, Cardinal Wiseman's Health. The statement of the Weekly Register, of the 14th inst., which has been copied by various newspapers respecting the health of Cardinal Wiseman, was correct up to that time. But on Sunday last a crisis, involving considerable peril, suddenly occurred. By Tuesday his Eminence was no longer in imme diate danger, and though since then he has been progressing favourably, we regret that the reply to this morning's inquiries was that he had not passed a good night, and therefore is not quite so well. - ••••• The Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury are entertaining a succession of visitors at Savernake Lodge, near Marlborough. The Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn. and Lady Georgiana Hamilton, and a large party, are at present staying there. The Marquis Conyngham has arrived at Slane Castle, Ireland, where he will remain till the meeting of Parliament. • The Earl of Shrewsbury has left Panshanger, on concluding his visit to Earl Cowper, and has gone to Trentham Hall, Staffordshire, the residence of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland. The Dowager Lady Napier has left Brown's Hotel. The Countess Delawarr is greatly improved in health, and on Sunday last took out-door exercise, which she had not done for two months before. The noble earl and countess come to town to-day from the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury's seat at Hatfield, on their way to Buckhurst Park, Sussbx. The Earl and Countess Stanhope and Lady Mary Stanhope returned to Chevening yesterday from Pan shanger, Herts, the residence of Earl Cowper. _ _ The Countess (Dowager) of Westmorland enter tained a select party at dinner yesterday evening, at her residence in Portman-square. Field-Marshal Viscount Combermere, who has lately been slightly indisposed, is now convalescent, and continues his stay at Clifton. The Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived in town yesterday afternoon from Hawarden Castle, Chester. The Hon. and Rev. Reginald Windsor Sackville West arrived at Algiers on Monday se'nnight, from his rectory in Sussex, in order to pass the winter there for the benefit of his health. MR. SIMS REEVES.—We have authority for stating that the recent accident to Mr. Sims Reeves, although still occasioning considerable inflammation, is not of a serious nature, and that in a very fQw days our most famous English singer will be able to resume his prOfes sional duties. PRESENTATION OF A SILVER MACE TO THE COR PORATION OF MARGATE.—Sir George Bowyer, M.P., on Tuesday presented, with appropriate ceremony, a silver mace to the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of Mar gate, assembled in the Town Hall. The mace, which is of massive silver, and 3 feet 9 inches long, weighs 79 ounces, and was formerly the property of the ancient corporation of Kinsale. THE YELVERTON MARRIAGE.—In the Scottish Court of Session on Tuesday, Mr. Campbell Smith, with whom wls the Lord Advocate, applied that Major Yelverton should be put upon his oath in relation to the whole facts and circumstances connected with the marriage which Miss Longworth alleged took place with her and himself. The application was resisted on the part of Major Yelverton by the Solicitor-General and Mr. Millar, mainly on the ground that the granting of the application would require Major Yelverton to answer questions in a way that might subject him to the criminal charge of bigamy, and might imperil the status of his present wife and the legitimacy of their children. The argument was adjourned for a week. MR. BAXTER, M.P., ON AMERICA.—Mr. W. E. Baxter, M.P. for the Montrose Burghs, delivered an address on Tuesday, at Blairgowrie, on the struggles in America. He spoke in favour of the Republican party, and the general policy of Mr. Lincoln's administration. He considered the " terrific struggle" the consequence of one of the most unwarrantable revolts in history; main tained that it was now, in point of form, as it always had been in point of fact, a conflict between freedom and slavery ; and could not help saying that a sharp and deci sive end to the contest were better than the continuation of a social fabric "which would debase and brutalise and drive to atheism generations yet unborn." He considered that the success of the revolt would be a blow to free con stitutional government. He had perfect confidence in the ability of the statesmen and people of the North to bring the question to "a most satisfactory solution ;" but it was his view of the matter that " this daring revolt of the slave owners 'should be put down now." THE OMNIBUS FEEBLES.—They are of .both sexes, the female perhaps predominating. They never know whether the omnibus is outward or homeward bound, and, having got in at Charing-cross, begin, when we arrive at Turnham-green, to express their wonder "when we shall come to the Bank." They never can• recollect the name of the street at which they are to be set down. " Deary me, Newland-street —no, not Newland, some name just like Newland—Archer-street, I think, or terrace ; don't you know it ? Mrs. Blethers lives at No. 7!" If by chance they do know the name of their destination, they mention it to the conductor when they get in, and then for the whole remainder of the seven-mile journey, whenever the vehicle stops, they bounce up from their seats, mutter "Is this Belinda-grove ?" stagger over the feet of their fellow passengers until they reach the door, where they are wildly repulsed, and fall back until they are jolted by the motion of the omnibus into a seat. The women carry their money either in damp smeary colourless kid gloves, round the palms of which they roko with their forefinger for a six pence, as a snuff ccnnoisseur will round his box for the last few grains of Prince's Mixture ; or, they carry it in a mysterious appendage called a pocket : not a portion of the dress, but, so far as I can make out from cursory obser vation, a kind of linen wallet suspended from the waist, to reach which causes a great deal of muscular exertion, mid not a small display of under garment. It is scarcely neces sary to say that the Feebles never know the fare, that they always want change for a sovereign—fourpence to be deducted—that they constantly think the omnibus is going to be upset, or that the horses have run away.—Dickens's "All the Year Round." HOW STOLEN GOODS TRAVEL.—Considerable ingenuity is displayed by the thieves in conveying their unlawful possessions from one place to another. Hampers, clothes baskets, hat-boxes, carpet bags, and brown paper parcels, containing stolen articles, are carried by women dressed like servants, and by honest and unsuspecting errand boys, and parties who frequently have no knowledge of the contents of the luggage. Stolen articles are booked regularly at the goods station, and travel along our streets and railways in com pany with honest merchandise. A thief will occasionally buy two or three pounds of cheese or butter, insert therein a gold watch or a diamond . ring, place the eatable upon a plate, and the savoury commodity is safely carried along the street under the detective's very nose, whose only notion or desire concerning the cheese may be. that it would make a nice rarebit for his supper. Thousands of pounds' worth of jewellery have travelled the whole length of a railway stitched up in a salmon or a hare. Some thieves, it is said, once obtained, in the provinces, a large quantity of jewellery, and devised a strange method of sending it to the fence-master in London. They purchased a very large Stilton cheese, scooped out the inside, filled it with valuables, and then sent it off par goods train like any other cheese.—Once a Week. A WOMAN KILLED BY FALLING FROM A TABLE. —On Tuesday an inquest was held at Birmingham respect ing the death of Mary Ann Cook, aged 41. On Friday last the deceased was standing on a table to reach something from the ceiling, and was stepping on a rocking chair, when it suddenly gave way, and deceased sustained injuries in the abdomen. Assistance was procured, and Mr. Moyles, surgeon, of Islington, was quickly in attendance, but all their efforts to save her proved unavailing; she never 7tlliecl, and died o n th e f o ll ow i ng day from the eff ec t s o f herinjuries. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. THAMES, ROBBERY IN TIIE ST. KATHERINE DOCK.-William Halls, a young man, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing eleven cigars, value is. Gd., the pro perty of the London and St. Katherine Docks Company. Mr. J. P. Mumford, superintendent of the United Dock Company's police, said the prisoner was employed on the cigar floor as a preferable labourer, and must have been in the employ of the company for some time, as he had been lately promoted. Yesterday evening, between four and five o'clock, the prisoner was brought before him by a w atchman named Cumming, who said on his hearing that he had been directed to bring him to his (the superinten dent's) office, for eleven cigars were found upon him. Witness asked where they were found, to which the prisoner replied—" I am a great fool. I had them in my trousers, pointing to his legs at the same time. Chester found them, he must have seen me put them there." Chester was the acting foreman on the cigar floor. The prisoner also said, "Do forgive me, don't lock me up." In answer to the Magistrate the witness said that cases of cigars would necessarily be opened on the floor where the prisoner was employed. Mr. Partridge asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge. The prisoner—Why this. They are damaged cigars. I found them on the floor. I did not take them out of a box. Mr. Mumford—Those are good foreign cigars, worth ls. Gd. without the duty. The father of the prisoner said his son was brought up a respectable boy, and could not help what he did. The man who searched his son encouraged him in all that was bad. 'Mr. Partridge—That ought not to be said. The prisoner's father said he and his son did not drink. His son was 12 months in the hospital in consequence of an accident he received in the dock. Mr. Mumford was recalled, and said this was the first time the prisoner had been charged with any offence ; but he had been for some time suspected, and other boxes had been opened and plundered of cigars.. A claim was made yesterday on the company for loss sustained by a robbery of cigars. Mr. Partridge said it was lamentable that the prisoner had given way to a sudden temptation and robbed the dock company. He should be justified, he thought, in dis posing of the case summarily. He fined the prisoner 405., which ho immediately paid. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. Market quiet and depressed. Sales, prob4bly 2,000 bales. The Late Gale. During the heavy gale of wind on the 14th inst., the schooner Thomas, of Liverpool, was observed on the Dog gerbank, near Wexford, with the sea breaking over her. The Rosslare lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, was immediately launched, and proceeded to the wreck, from which the lifeboat took off the crew of four men and a pilot and put them safely on board a steam tug. The large lifeboat at Wexford of the National Institution had also a few nights previously put off in tow of a steamer to a large ship on the Black water Bank, but before the arrival of the lifeboat the vessel had fortunately succeeded in getting off. The Institution's lifeboat at Lahore had also put off in reply to the same sig nals of distress. The expense of both boats' crews is up wards of £32. In such cases, with signals calling for help, it will not do for the lifeboats to falter for a moment, because if life were sacrificed from' the delay of the life boats on such occasions, the responsibility would be very great on those who direct their operations. Again, the lifeboats sometimes put on board vessels in distress some of their own hands, who are thus frequently the means of saving both ship and crew, as was the case on Saturday last at Holyhead. But then the noble fellows who are thus left short-handed in the lifeboat oftentimes incur great risk from being unable to manage her. WALMER, NEAR DEAL, Jan. 16. During a strong gale and heavy sea on Friday night (re ports Admiral Cannon) the Walmer lifeboat of the National Institution was launched to the assistance of a vessel in the Downs, which was observed burning blue lights as signals of distress. The lifeboat proceeded under reefed sails in the direction of the vessel, but finding, on approaching her, that a Walmer lugger had taken charge, and that the lifeboat's services were not required, she re turned to the shore at half-past ten p.m. and was hove up. The lifeboat had her full service crew of 15 men, and also threo men and one coastguardman assisting to launch. The expense will be £l5 10s. The vessel proved to be the Blue bell, of Shoreham, laden with coals. She had been so seriously damaged by being run into by another vessel that the crew feared she was sinking. Both vessels seem to have suffered considerable damage, both hav in g been taken into Ramsgate harbour. 134 i 4 5 151. 31 2 SO 1 801 4►4 50 1021 2 116 i 1271 f 1 f 61 i 138! 111} & 51 21 3 871 7 '1 02 1 1001 - 100 104 1 1001 100 ITIES. 100; 108, 8 The Encyclical Letter, TURIN, Jan. 14. The Minister of Grace and Justice and of Public Worship has addressed the following circular con cerning the publication of the Pope's Encyclical to the diocesan bishops of the Italian kingdom : " Turin, Jan. 8, 1865. " I find it my duty to remind your grace that, by virtue of Art. 1 of the regulations annexed to the royal decree of March 5, 1863, No. 1,169, the Pontifical Encyclical, and the documents by which it is accompanied, must be sub mitted to the royal exequatur. No act of publication, or of external execution of this Encyclical, or of the accom panying document, can therefore take place until this pre scription has been accomplished. The presentation must be made directly to this Ministry in the terms of Art. 3 of the decree above cited. "The King's Government reserves to itself to declare, in the decree conceding the royal exequatur, under what clauses and restrictions the Pontifical Encyclical and the annexed document can receive publication and execution within the kingdom, and what portions thereof must be excluded as contrary to the institutions and laws of the State. "I feel convinced that your grace will consider it fitting yourself to abstain from, and to advise the clergy of your diocese to avoid, all manifestations in this matter prior to having received the notification of the royal decree of exequatur. "Receive, Monsignore, the assurance of my distinguished respect. (Signed) "G. VACCA, "Keeper of the Seals, and Minister Secretary of State for the de partment of Grace and Justice and of Public Worship." The French bishops are following up their attacks on the Minister of Justice with all episcopal vigo ur and determination. It is not at all improbable, says the Paris correspondent of the Times, that their letters will produce far more impression on the people of the provincesthan the Encyclical would have done had they been allowed to publish it. They strive to attain their object in another way, for they deliver sermons in their cathedrals render ing an account to their flocks of the interdict laid upon them, of the reasons alleged for that interdict, and of their correspondence with the Minister, pur porting to show their futility, and the real character of the document incriminated, In fact, they have in this indirect fashion brought it to the knowledge of everybody, as much as if they had been at libtrty to read it in their pulpits, not to speak of the com ments and recriminations which it has given rise to. In his letter to the Minister the ARCHBISHOP OF TOULOUSE says : "It is greatly to be regretted that it is at the very moment when the Government is said to contemplate the extension of public liberties that it imposes restrictions on the most sacred of all—that of the Catholic Church. By adopting this line the Government renounces its right of imposing a moderation of which it no longer sets the ex ample. It disseminates among our Catholic populations alarm which is taken advantage of by public malevolence ; and it may give rise to real while it only deprecates imagi nary danger. In a word, this measure of yours gives satis faction only to those who are as much the enemies of the Emperor as of religion and of order in the country." The BISHOP OF NEVERS 1.4, in another way, as emphatic in his protest : " I am deeply pained to be obliged to tell you (the Minister) that we are all equally terrified and afflicted. We have no fears for the Church ; for the Church has the pro mise of immortality; but that promise is only for the Church. Heaven forbid that I should attack, ever so slightly, the principle of authority which is now but too seriously dis turbed; or offend you who, by your kindness towards my self,have every claim on my gratitude. But you cannot but admit the embarrassment we are in ; we who are the suc cessors of the Apostles, and who cannot forget that, as in circumstances of a similar kind, the Holy Ghost will not inspire us with any other answer or trace any other rule of conduct than this,—' It is better to obey God than man.' " The BISHOP OF BEAUVAIS, NOYEU, AND SENLIS has not only writen to the Minister, but has addressed a long circular to the clergy of his diocese. "We told his Excellency," he says,— " How many things our public law tolerates. It tolerates the most direct attacks on the existence of God and the divinity of His Son. It tolerates impiety and materialism ; and can it not tolerate a teaching whose greatest fault in the eyes of its adversaries is that it opposes ancient prin ciples to modern opinions ? If it be permitted in France to outrage the Pope and to scoff at the doctrines of which he is the organ, why should the bishops be prohibited from laying his acts before the faithful with the respect and affection which are due to the first _representative of God upon earth ?" He recommends the clergy " to adhere in heart and spirit to the teachings, the decisions, and con demnations emanating from:the Holyßoman Church, the mother and mistress of all Churches," and with regard to their conduct to be " prudent and circum spect in their words, and, without ever yielding where principle is at stake, not to exasperate by un timely discussion the mistaken and the prejudiced." He hopes that with time and patience the present clamour will cease, and that the people will end by understanding that the Holy Church, the great civilizer of the world, has never been and never can be the enemy of true civilisation and of legitimate progress." The ARCHBISHOP OF BESANCON is to answer to the Council of State for having read, in contempt of the Ministerial circular, the whole of the Encyclical in his cathedral. The Archbishop is in virtue of his rank a Cardinal and Senator, and by the law no member of either branch of the Legislature can be proceeded against without the permission of the Chamber to which he belongs. The question whe ther the Council of State is a tribunal, in the proper sense of the word, and whether the Cardinal could without infringing on his privilege be made amen able to it without the preliminary authorisation was discussed in the last Cabinet Council in presence of the Emperor. It was decided that, in the present instance, authorisation was not necessary, as the Council of State is not called upon to inflict a ma terial penalty, but only to pronounce a censure, and nothing more. On the other hand, it is stated that M. Troplong, First President of the Court of Cas eation, and President of the Senate, is of opinion that no proceeding can be taken against any member of this body without its express permission. Arrest of the Captain of a Peruvian Ship of War, PLYMOUTH, Wednesday Evening. The Peruvian screw steam corvette Union, 14 guns, Captain Grau, fitted in the Thames, which left Greenhithe for this port at 6 a.m. on Friday, having been detained by heav r y This mweathoeminr, g did c not apt. arrive until 1 p.m. yesterday. Grau proceeded in his boat from the Sound to Devonport, and paid a complimentary visit to Port Admiral Sir Charles Fremantle. He left the Ad miral's office about noon, and walked across Mount Wise, towards the Hard. When nearly in sight of his boat's crew, he was arrested by Mr. Beandon, of Dartford, superintendent of the Kent county con stabulary, who was accompanied by Inspector Dawe, of the Plymouth force, and was brought in a cab to the police-station here. _ _ To-morrow he will leave at 8 30 a.m. from Dart ford by the train due at 3 p.m. at Paddington. The - arrest was for an alleged breach of the Foreign Enlistment Act. _ _ Captain Grau said, " Each man understood per fectly what he joined for. I did not press them— they volunteered to go." He wished to be taken first to the office of Mr. T. W. Fox, the Peruvian Vice-Consul. The Union has on board a redundancy oflofficers and men for transfer to her consort the corvette America, overdue at this port from Nantes, where she has been fitted for sea. Captain Garcia, of the Peruvian navy, who is superintending for his Government the construction in the Thames of an ironcased frigate, is staying now at Pearse's Royal Hotel here for the purpose of despatching the two corvettes from thisstate port.

I ZEVEILAGE.—Homes practitioners, medical profession generally, recommend cocoa the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc trinewas first introduced into this country. there were to In obt fined no preparations of cocoa either at tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied is the crude state, or so unskilfUlly manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London. Homoeopathic Chemist, was induced in the year 18.1 J to turn his atlention to this subject, and at length succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pule in its composition, and so refined by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passes thro •gh, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most del:- cious aroma. Dr. Dassill, in his wo.k, "Food and its Adulteratio E," says -" Cocoa contai:.s a great variety of im portant nutritive principles—every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured in tin-lined jib., lib., and 11b. labelled packets, and sold by all groo,rs, onfectiOners, and chemists.— [Anyr.] JANIT .s~sl~ l is. the a rs )a ~'al~ ~ 0 f ;0 1 °' BUJ stw' yroef CO, .0J 6 e,0 ;111 o f N 4 f 100 at { 20 20i 10 100 1 201 20i 100 10C 100 1100 2 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 1"0 100 100 10 100 100 2.1.0 2.14.6 3 4.0 2.7.0 2.13.6 9.10.6 601 all 1.1.0 7.8.3 8.13, 1.18.1 4.3.0 32/ 3.10.6 2.8.0 7.1.6 10.6.7 3. 12.81 103 1 0 1 0 10 100 1( 0 10J 100 100 10J 100 ti 6; 471 I 1091 121 I 93 105 4} 1011 1 81 9 921 i 1C 11 12i
