Forbes, Esq., well known to the British Railway public as Vice-President of the Dutch- Rhenish Railway, and General Manager of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, contains full information derived from personal inspection of the position and pros- Deets of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, from Which it appears— The and Great Western Railway system corn- Prises— 507 miles now in work, including 17 miles recently opened. 100 miles in course of construction. Total, 607 of Which 526 miles belong to the Company; and 81. miles are leased for 99 years, at a low rent ($273,072 a year). Though not yet fully completed, the traffic already equals that of many of the best American lines. During the first six months of 1R65 the receipts upon the 322 miles then open were $2,579,737 equal at the present rate of exchange to $7 in the to £368,533. since July 490 miles have been opened, and the receipts have been $2,011,676, equal to £287,382, for three months, or at the rate of £1,149,528 per annum. The subjoined monthly traffic return shows the steady increase of traffic. 1865. Miles open. Passengers Mails, Sze. aanuary 322 far Pebruary— 17 April Ray ...... • • %Tune auly August ... Septeniber. October This table includes the traffic of 33 miles of the Oil i - l ' r eek Railway, which was constructed by and has itherto been worked by the Atlantic and Great Western railway Company, but does not form part of the consoli dation. chin actual result, therefore, is a gross receipt at the ' 4O of upwards of £1,000,000 a year at the present ex ofchang with 100 miles still to open, and a large increase trainc only waiting for a further supply of rolling stuck. Tllis large traffic is owing to two causes :- 1 . The Atlantic and Great Western line forms the ce ntral link of the greatest line of through traffic in the 'World, viz., that between the Western States of America and the Atlantic. From its shorter distance, and advan tage of forming part of an unbroken line of 1,200 miles on a uniform six-feet gauge, it must always be the best line of communication by which the enormous goods and pas 13e„ nger traffic centring in the Western cities of Cincinnati, l'.,leveland, Chicago, and St. Louis, can arrive at New xork and the sea-board. 2. The local traffic is equally enormous, owing to its , r aversing the newly-discovered oil districts of Pennsyl leala, and the great coal-fields of Northern Ohio. Some ci ea of the local traffic thus waiting for development may lormed from the single fact that this oil district now Yields at the rate of 3,000,000 barrels per annum, for the -- LN - eYance of which as much as 3d. to 4d. per ton per 110 is willingly paid. & Consolidation of the several Divisions of the Atlantic a nd Great. Western Railway under one executive has been si ne, and a mortgage for 30 million dollars, or 6 millions of bonds has been created, and also a capital of 30 million dollars of shares of 50 dollars each, based on the :hole property of the Company. The new shares will paersede those previously issued, with the exception of t e_ l 3,ooo dollars of Preference Shares pledged as part of security for the Certificates of Debenture issued in mbar, 1864, which will, therefore, remain Preferential entii those Certificates are paid off, when the whole be 3,,Zrt ordinary share capital. Provision is made in the p," l •_,gage deed (under which the Consolidated Mortgage Muds are issued) for securing the rights of the existing o ,urtgage Bonds, and also for their exchange at maturity, . n earlier Cont consent of the holder, if authorised by the fo_ard of rol this being completed, the present Con solidated Mortgage will become the first mortgage over the railway, with its branches, extensions, and equip /menu,. The Consolidated Capital will therefore consist of 00 ,000,Q00, half in Shares and half in Mortgage Bonds, which provides for the completion of the entire line. To meet the interest on these Bonds at 7 per cent. in sterling, after paying all working expenses, it is calculated 13 3' Mr. Forbes that a gross annual receipt of $6,442,000 'Would be sufficient, which is considerably less than the annual receipt, and $3,573,000 less than Mr. Forbes's esti mate of the annual receipt when the additional 100 miles „ r " opened, so that the security for the Bonds is ample, 'ad there is every prospect that, in addition, a high rate `;1 dividend will be paid on the $30,000,000 of Share vapito . eb Tile Consolidated Bonds have 25 years to run, with pons for interest at 7 per cent per annum, payable 41.t erlY, free of income tax, at the Company's Offices, in 4 ndon or New York, in gold.

Foster of Connecticut will take the chair as President pro tem. with Col. John W. Forney of Pa. as Secretary. The majority of the Unionists is here so heavy that it can in no case be overcome except by division ; the only Opposition Senators entitled to take seats without inquiry being Messrs, Wright and Stockton of New Jersey, Buekalew of Pennsylvania, Siddle and Saulsbury of Delaware, Davis and Powell of Kentucky, G. Johnson of Maryland, Hen dricks of Indiana, McDougall of California, and Nesmith . of Oregon-11 in all, to 38 Unionists. If. every State lately in rebellion were to have Senators present at the hour of opening the Session (as several of them will not), and if each were to claim and hold his seat, there would still be a Unionist majority. So no more need be said of the Senate. As to the House, the case is butlittlo different. The Re presentatives who will take seats of course aro politically divided as follows: States. Union. Dern. States Union. Dem. Maine 5 Kansas 1 New Hampshire 3 Kentucky Massachusetts... 10 Ohio l7 2 Rhode Island ... 2 Indiana Connecticut ... 4 Illinois ll 3 Vermont 3 Michigan 6 New York Now Jersey 2 3 Minnesota Pennsylvania ... 16 8 lowa 6 Delaware — 1 Missouri 8 1 Maryland 3 2 Nevada West Virginia... 3 California Oregon 1 Total Unionists... 141 Democrats... 40 The States whose "reconstruction" has not yet been re cognised and ratified by Congress are entitled, when fully reorganised and recognised, to send Representatives as follows : Virginia 8 Tennessee North Carolina 7 ' Arkansas 3 South Carolina 4 Louisiana 5 Georgia 7 Texas Alabama Mississippi 5 Total —sB Were all these admitted at the outset, without demur or scrutiny, they would not all affiliate with the Opposition ; and, even if they did, their combined strength would fall far short of a majority. Their candidate for Speaker would fall fully 40 votes behind, notwithstanding that sickness will prevent the attendance of several Unionists. But the members from the States lately in revolt cannot take their seats at the outset so as to vote for Speaker and Clerk. Not even such devoted and unwavering Unionists as Horace Maynard, representing a district 010, though temporarily overborne by rebel bayonets, never faltered in nor concealed its devotion to the Union, will be admitted without preliminary investigation and scrutiny. Our Copperheads never peeped when the last Congress refused to count the electoral votes of Tennessee, Arkansas, and and Louisiana for Lincoln, because those States were not in their proper relations to the Union when they voted ; and the same reason will now prescribe an inquiry and report by a Committee before their representatives can be admitted to seats. The recognition of a State which has been for years in open and deadly hostility to the Union as once more entitled to share in the Government of that Union by sending members to Congress, is a very grave act. No mere clerk dare presume so far. But each house, being first duly constituted, will proceed to take up the claim of all persons presenting credentials from States lately in rebellion, and will act thereon as the Constitution and laws shall be found to prescribe. There is no hurry,— New York Tribune. Extensive discoveries of copper ore have been made at the summit of South Mountain, in Washington county, Maryland. The extent of the ore has not as yet been fully determined, but its indications are of the most satisfactory character. The oro occurs in quartz, has the color of graphite, and an analysis by the Agricultural De partment here shove it to be Almost pure copper. THE COTTON MOVEMENT.—New York, Nov. 14.-- During last week the receipts of cotton at this port amounted to 24,304 bales; sales and resales, to 15,800 bales; and exports to 17,857 bales, leaving an available stock on hand and on shipboard not cleared in this market of about 170,000 bales, worth about $34,000,000 in lawful money, at an average of $2OO a bale. Middling grades had fallen to 50c. to 51c. a pound on Thursday, but rallied to 51e. to 52c. a pound at the close of business, onFriday, on a decidedly active inquiry for home use and shipment. At all the shipping ports, from Sept. 1 to the latest mail dates, the receipts of cotton reached about 400,000 bales, against exports, in the same period, of about 185,000 bales, leaving an estimated stock in the ports of about 393,000 bales, or the equivalent of $78,600,000 in currency. The total receipts of cotton at all the ports from the date of peace, May 1, to the latest mail dates received in this city by Oct. 31, were 742,776 bales, representing a currency value of $148,555,200. The Liverpool Post has the following letter from a cor respondent : _ . _ Sir,--It has often been remarked in cases of disputes that an uninterested spectator who calmly looks on will pick up the true points and form a correct judgment of the matter. Being an uninterested spectator, having neither a personal nor pecuniary interest in the cotton market, yet haVing given a careful attention to the subject, having got the best information which I possibly could from parties in • America, who have gone to some expense to get cor rect information, I would wish, with your permission, to say a few words on that most interesting question to our Lancashire manufacturers. TUE SUPPLY OF COTTON FROM AMERICA. More than six months have elapsed since the war closed, still the quantity of cotton in the Southern. States is as much a matter of dispute as when General Grant was be sieging Vicksburg and General Lee holding the Federal army at bay on the Rappahannock. Reports are plentiful, bu these are more remarkable for the darkness which they throw around the question, and for their omissions, than for that correct information which might now be expected, and which is fully due. As an illustration of the omissions continually met with, I shall just refer to the recent circular of Messrs. W. P. Wright and Co., of New York. These omissions are : Ist, the consumption of the Northern manufacturers from May Ist to October 31st, 1865; 2nd, the stock on Oct. 31st at the Northern mills. 3rd, the estimated consumption of the American manufacturers from Nov. Ist. to Sept. Ist, ' 1866, when next next year's crop will be ready. Unless the American consumption from May to Oct. is got at, and also the stock in the American manufacturers' hands, as well as the export stock in port and transit, it is impossible to get at the correct quantity of cotton already received from the South. Fortunately, all these facts are ascer tained, and, when put together,Jar exceed Messrs. Wright's estimate of 742,756 bales as the total receipts. The American manufacturers are estimated to have used from May Ist. to Oct. 31st, on an average, 10,000 bales per week, which is no doubt, if anything, under the mark, when their prosperity is considered, and also the fact that they cannot manufacture fast enough. How im portant the omissions are, and how they tell. I will just put the following facts together ; Bales. Consumption of cotton in United States May Ist to Oct. 31st (20 weeks), 10,000 per week 200,000 Exported to Europe in same period 296,000 Stock in ports and transit Nov. 7th (last return) 372,752 Stocks held at the mills of New York and New England Manufacturers Oct. 31 960,752 Receipts as per Messrs. Wright's circular 217,986 Messrs. Wright have not only under-estimated what has already been drawn from the hoards .of the South, but whilst omitting what the American manufacturers will want for the future, they also carefully omit committing themselves to what is to come, and at the same time lead you to suppose not only is the present stock on hand 372,752 bales to come to Europe, but that to a great extent all the rest of stock in the South may be expected to follow. I wish it was so, for it would be good news for Lan cashire. But unfortunately the American manufacturers must be first served; and after they get what they want, Europe will get the balance. How much then will that balance be ? The best information which I have been able to obtain from parties in America, whn, as I said before, have gone to considerable expense to get at the true facts, states that the old stock and the new crop will be from 1,250,000 to 1,500,000 bales. This is confirmed by the , . official letter of Mr. M'Culloch, the Secretary of the Treasury, who, of course, has the best means of getting at the truth, who can have no intention to mislead, and who is certainly incapable of stating what is incorrect or false. Mr. M'Culloch's estimates, as your readers well know, is 1,300,000 bales. However, I will take the extreme figure, and even put 100,000 bales to it for what high prices and destitution may bring forth. Old stock in South at the end of the Bales. war and the new crop 1,600,000 Less consumption in States, May Ist to Oct. 31st Less estimated Consumption in States Yov. Ist, 1865, to Sept. Ist, 1866 ; 43 weeks, at 12,000 bales per week 516,000 Less exported to Europe Oct. 315 t... 236,000-1,012,000 Remain for export to Europe from Nov. Ist, 1865, to Sept. Ist, 1866 588,000 That this is the outside may bo seen at a glance in another way. It is estimated, and I am afraid, under estimated, that the American spinners will from November to September next consume 12,000 bales per week. If so the present stock in all the ports from Maine to Texas and their present stock of 92,000 bales will not supply them ; and 'as nearly 1,000,000 bales is already accounted for, there remains only what is now in the interior for Euro pean consumption. This all authorities unite in saying cannot be over 600,000 bales, or 14,000 bales per week from the Ist November till the Ist September next, when the crop for 1866 will begin to come to the ports for ship ment. — Vie have been permitted to read a letter from a very dis tinguished American citizen to a gentleman residing in this town. The writer is an intimate friend of the Hon. David A. Wells, the chairman of the commission appointed by the United States Government, last spring, to revise their revenue system, both external and internal, and which has been busily engaged upon its duties since last March. In a coversation with Mr. Wells on the 22nd of October last that gentleman informed him that the commission had been engaged in an examination of the great cotton question, with a view to determine what is the tax Govern ment may place upon it, and that the new crop this year would not exceed 300,000 bales; and then, after comment ing on what was in the States, and on the crops from India, Egypt, Brazil, and China, stated that wo were nearer a cotton famine than we ever had been before. The writer regards Mr. Wells, and probably correctly, as being better informed on the subject of cotton, from the thorough investigation he has made, than any man in the United States. Coming as this does from an official source, and confirming the statement of the Secretary of the Treasury contained in his letter published in our columns on Thusrday last, and being a matter which so deeply affects the whole community, we have felt it to be our duty to place it before them.—Liverpool Post, Nov. 29. DEATH OF JACOB COLLAMER.—Hon. Jacob Collamer the well - known and greatly-respected Senator from Vermont, died at Woodstock, in that State, on Nov. 14, at the age of 73. He was a son of Samuel Collamer, who was a native of Scituate, Mass., and a soldier of the Revo lution. In childhood he removed to Burlington, and was graduated at the University of Vermont, in 1810. He studied law at St. Alban's, and was admitted to . practice at that place in 1812, after which he made the frontie . r . .. cam paign as a lieutenant of artillery in the detached . militia in the United States service. He accomplished his . course of preparatory collegiate and professional studies . without any . other pecuniary means than his own industry supplied. Until 1833 he practised law in Washington, Orange, and Windsor counties, commencing. at Barre. In 1821, 1822, 1827, 1828, he represented the town of Royalton in the General Assembly. In 1833 he was elected an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Vermont, and was con tinued on the bench until 1842, when ho declined a re election. In 1843 he was chosen to represent the Second District in Congress, was re-elected in 1844 and 1846, but in 1848 declined to be again a candidate. In March, 1849, ho was appointed Postmaster-General by President T ay l or, but on the death of the President be, with the entire Cabinet, resigned. He was soon afterward made Supreme Judge of his own State, holding that office until 1854, when be was chosen United States Senator, which office he filled up to the time of his death. - Th o death of Judge Collamer deprives the Senate of one of its eldest and most useful members. He was a man of clear and acute intel lect, and of great i n t egr it y o f character. His principles of political action we re we ll d ef i ned and were held with tena city ; they w ere th e result of his own independent reflec tion rather than of party relations, and though not pressed with anythin g lik e un d ue o b s ti nac y were never yielded to considerations of mere expediency. His train ing had been that of a lawyer and a judge, and this some times gave perhaps too much technicality to his views of public questions—but he was never overweeningly wedded to his own ideas, or disposed to thwart practical action by insisting unduly upon his own opinions. Though re presenting one of the most decidedly anti-slavery States in the Union, he was always moderate and conservative in his views, and always enjoyed the full confidence of hie constituents. The Volunteer year having closed with -Novem ber, the first movement of the new year, with most regiments, is the distribution of the prizes won dur ing the preceding 12 months. One of the most at tractive of these ceremonies was witnessed on Satur day last at the Crystal Palace, where this interesting phase of volunteer life was witnessed by many thousand persons in the prize distribution to the London Brigade. The distribution took place in the Handel orchestra, which was fittingly deco rated, and among other visitors were Col. Erskine, the Inspector-General, Lord Ranelagh, and many members of the city corporation. Col. Warde, the commandant of the brigade, in an address which he made before the ceremony of the evening, said the prizes which had to be distributed that day formed the largest display, both in number and value, ever presented to the brigade, a fact which proved that the brigade had won the good opinion of those un der whose support it was started. The city acted as the first parent to the biigade, giving it a subscrip tion of many thousands of pounds, and assisting it in many ways, and the city companies had come forward in the most handsome manner with prizes of from 10 to 100 guineas in value. lie was glad to see this, more especially at the present time, because the generosity of the first starting might be said to have been stimulated by something like panic and excitement ; but this could not be _ said now, this being the sixth year of the brigade. The second, third, and four th years might be looked upon as trial years, and these having passed the brigade had received the most ungrudging support. He was glad to say that the various city wards were adopting companies as their own, and he was in hopes that in a short time there would not be a company in the brigade without the name of a ward, and be to its ward an honotir. The ward of Cripplegate had given the brigade a noble challenge prize, to be shot for for ever, and the beauty of the design was only equalled by the generosity of the ward. [The speaker pointed to a large and massive model in silver of old Cripplegate. At each of the four corners of the gate an English yeoman stands in an attitude of shooting, and beneath each figure is a volunteer at the " Ready" position, thus repre senting two different eras.] The gallant officer went on to relate one of the many legends of Cripplegate, thus causing some amusement, and concluded by stating that the brigade would return about 100 more effective members than in the previous year, a fact upon which he congratulated them. Lady Har riet Warde then handed the prizes to the winners, who on coming to the platform were loudly cheered. The prizes amounted in value to about £l,OOO. The honour of winning the gold badge as best shot of the brigade was accorded to Colour-Sergeant Churchill, who was received with military honours. After the ceremony Col. Warde proposed a vote of thanks to the visitors, coupling with the vote the names of Col. Erskine and Lord Ranelagh. The London Irish Volunteer Corps on Saturday evening mustered at Somerset-house, and marched to Burlington-house, Piccadilly, where the ceremony of distributing the prizes were performed before a vary large assembly by the Marchioness of Donegal. The noble commandant of the regiment, the Marquis of Donegal, in the statistics which he gave, showed that during the year the corps had recruited to a very *great extent indeed, and had mustered extremely well at all the volunteer meetings of the year. The first of a series of 12 competitions for the new gold champion badge of the West Middlesex Rifles, and for the silver champion cup, took place at Wormwood Scrubs last Thursday, the conditions being seven shots each at 300 and 600 yards, Wim bledon targets, scoring, &c. After a spirited com petition during a shower of rain the gold badge was won by Ensign Gamier. A company, with a score of 32 marks, the silver cup being won by Private Hall, after shooting off a tie with Lieut. Marriner, 30 marks each. These prizes have been established by the shooting committee of the corEs for the en couragement of rifle practice througliokit the year, the contests to take place on the last Thursday of each month, and the prizes to become the absolute property of the members who win them the greatest number of times in 12 months. A most exciting contest took place at the range of the North Middlesex Rifles, at Child's-hill, Hamp stead, last Thursday, between six members of the corps, for the 'final possession of the Borough Chal lenge Cup, valued at 25 guineas, presented to the corps by the then members for Marylebone, Lord Fermoy and Mr. Harvey Lewis. The conditions for shooting for the cup were that it should be com peted for once a month during a period of 12 months, no member to be allowed to compete after having done so twice successfully, and that it should be finally competed for by the members who had been successful in the previous monthly competitions. The final competition has resulted in favour of Private J. Thurston, No. 1 Company, with a score of 55 marks. The following are the scores. Ranges, 200, 500, and GOO yards, seven rounds at each :—Private Thurston, 55 marks ; Corporal Kennedy, 49; Cor poral Jackson, 48 ; Sergeant Humphrey, 48 ; Pri vate Pavey, 47 ; Private Malkin, 42. The annual distribution of prizes will take place at the St. Pan cras Vestry Hall on Monday the 18th inst. The competition to decide which small bore rifles should be used in the second stage of the Queen's Prize next year, at Wimbledon, came off lately at Woolwich Arsenal, and has been decided. There were three entries—namely, the Birmingham Small Arms Company, and the Whitworth, Mr. Henry, and Mr. Rigby, whose rifles were chosen last year, and were so generally esteemed. Mr. Rigby was disqualified from:shooting, as he had failed to have his rifles at the National Rifle Association's offices at the time specified, so that the competition was left between the Whitworth and Henry, the latter of which was fired with the cheap soft lead bullets, and the former with the mechanically fitted bullets. The Whitworth was debarred the use of the " scraper," the rod which was formerly used to scrape down the fouling, but this drawback was overcome by having copper washers to the loading wad, by means of which the barrel was craped clean while loading. The competition was very close, and the day was won by the Whitworth, the figure o f merit being the Whitworth 2.08, the Henry 2.11. The finances of the United States continue to make a favourable exhibit. During the last 19 weeks the revenues of the Government have been $222,000,000, or at the rate of fully $600,000,000 a year, a far greater sum than is necessary to meet the expenditure. It is stated that the Secretary of the Treasury will present to Con gress a plan for the gradual funding of all the legal tenders.

EDINBURGH, Monday, _ , c."4:. - In this case, in which " the Hon. Maria Theresa Longworth or Yelverton," residing in Edinburgh, is pursuer, and Mr. Alexander James Beresford Beresford-Hope, of Bedgebury-park, in the county of Kent, and Mr. John Douglas Cooke, of the Albany, in the county of Middlesex, and both re siding in or. near London, or elsewhere, furth of Scotland, are defenders, the following issue was to day submitted to a jury : It being. admitted that the defenders are pro prietors and publishers of the Saturday Review, and that in that paper, on the 30th of July, 18G1, an article was published by them entitled, " The Yel verton Case," and expressed in the terms contained in the schedule annexed : " Whether the whole, or any part of the said ar ticle, is of and concerning the pursuer, and falsely and calumniously represents the pursuer as being a disreputable and immodestperson, to the loss, injury, and damage of the pursuer ?" Damages were laid at £3,000. Lord Jervis woode presided. The following is the substance of the article com plained of : " THE YELVERTON CASE. "More than three years ago we ventured on the very first blush of the Yelverton case to hint that, what ever sympathies might be attracted by the romance of Miss Theresa Longworth's love story, she was, in something more than the Scotch legal sense, the pur suer. The House of Lords, as the court of final ap peal, decided on Thursday, bs - a majority of three to one —or, counting Lord Brougham's opinion, of three to two—that the alleged Scotch marriage was not a marriage, even in the lax sense in which some Scotch jurists understand the term. . . But if Lords Wensleydale, Kingsdown, and Chelmsford had shown themselves susceptible as the Chancellor and Lord Brougham, we are not quite sure that it (the validity of the marriage) might not have been suc cessfully maintained. There is no knowing what Lor.d.Westbury might not have said or done had he, e . the Iri4ll jury been personally under the fire of ! Miss Longworth'sdangerous eyes.. We remember in what a practical way an Athenian lady of doubtful fame enlisted the feelings of her j u d ges . L or d West bury has shown himself t o b e a cr i t i c i n amatory fame effusions, and can see nothing inconsistent with chastity and purity in Miss Longworth's remarkable letters. Throughout the cause he has certainly exhi bited a familiarity, not to say something of personal sympathy, with very warm writing; and on the whole, we may congratulate the British Themis that in this case of appeal there is no personal examination of appellant or respondent. What might have been the consequences had Miss Longworth appeared be fore the woolsack like Helen among the Trojan grey beards it would be alike difficult and improper to forecast [After referring to the cere mony at Rostrevor, and denying the pursuer's state ment that there was no previous intercourse, the article proceeds]. The result seems to be this—that as far as the events in Scotland and Ireland are in telligible both Major Yelverton and Miss Long worth managed every step with as much caution, and careful, wary deliberation as though each had taken counsel's opinion upon it beforehand; but that Miss Longworth had the worse legal advice of the two. Miss Longworth all but managed to get a legal Scotch marriage out of it, but she did not quite suc ceed. Major Yelverton, on the other hand, was as nearly as possible inextricably hung up in the very fine meshes of a Scotch marriage, but he just man aged to escape. It was a very admirable piece of finessing on both sides ; but the gentleman had the best—that is, the legal best—in this contest of skill. . . . . For Major Yelverton but little can be said. . . . At any rate, he gave the lady warn ing. •He pointed out that her ruin could be the only result of a renewal of their acquaintance, and he gave her the choice of renewing it or not. That re newal was her act, not his. . • . He felt it to be of no use struggling against the strong will of Theresa Longworth ; the all along made up his mind that, as he was to be the lady's victim, it should,be on his own terms, not hers. . . . As to Miss Longworth, we would now say as little as we can. When all the world was on her side ; when she was the triumphant object of what are called Irish ovations—when all Scotland made her virtues as much an article of faith as Queen Mary's innocence, and when nearly the whole of England echoed their salutations--we expressed ourselves intelligibly on this lady's life and character. The highest English tribunal has now accepted that view which four years ago was both uncommon and popular. It were unge nerous to press heavily on any one who is down, doubly ungenerous in the case of a woman of very remark able powers, great intellectual accomplishments, and now labouring under the heavy burden of failure and humiliation. To say that, in our judg ment, she fully deserves her fate, may sound harsh ; but to say much less were to compromise the inte rests of truth and morality. She has a thorny bed to lie on, but she has made it for herself. And if we express ourselves strongly, it is chiefly because the Lord High Chancellor of England has thought proper in his judicial capacity not only to pronounce a high eulogium on the intellectual capacity dis played in Miss Longworth's letters, but to declare that their tone is consistent with ' honourable court ship.' The interests of morality would, we think, be seriously comprised were this judgment to rest on any higher grounds than Lord Westbury's opinion of what may be the proper style of corres pondence between unmarried —or, for the matter of that, between married—persons. To right-thinking persons, there is much in these terrible letters which is simply loathsome. We have 'to notion of making a heroine of such a person as Miss Longworth. She is out of keeping with society, both as it is and as it ought to be. She is an adventuress, launched into the world nobody knows how, with a previous history which has never been told. She is a Sceur de Charite, but she meets and courts adventures little in keeping with her semi-conventual dress and office. She sinners it and saints it by turns or at once. She is made up of passion and prudence, of hard intellectual vigour, and sensuous thoughts and feelings. She writes as no modest woman writes, and she schemes as no modest woman would scheme. She has religious scruples, but they do not restrain her from provoking at least to sin. The best that can be hoped for her is, that she will abandon that world which will act most kindly by forgetting her, and forgiving her offence against society." In the record the pursuer sets forth the high character of the journal complained of, and its large circulation among the educated classes both at home and in the colonies, and also in foreign countries, where it is regarded as a leading expo nent of British public opinion. Citing the stronger passages of the alleged libel, she sets forth that the article is false and calumnious, and contains statements which are malicious and not justifiable as fair newspaper comments on proceed ings taking place in a court of justice. To this the defenders reply that the article does not exceed the limits of fair criticism. They state their readiness to answer in the English courts, remarking that the Saturday Review is published in London and no where else, and that they have no business or agency in Scotland. To this the pursuer responds that the Saturday Review is extensively sold and circulated in Scotland, and so published the slander complained of in Scotland. the que s t S i Scotch c i h e this Co l ur n ts r , ef i e t re m n a e y e b t e o n t l h e e nti j o ur ne is d di t c h ti a o t n under appeal to the House of Lords of the First Division of t he Court of Session, fronlajudgmen of debts owing to the d e sus taining its jurisdiction in f v en ir d t e u rs e of in ar s re e s o t t m la e n n d t . s mTa Thee e e arres t me nts are usedforsuimn tsidleuesabtyurpduabylßisheveiresivi.n Edi n b u rgh for advertising Mr. Campbell Smith opened pfourtliier herself, pursuer who h d o the only witness called was the pursuer deponod that she claimed to be the legal wife of Major Yelverton, and had appealed to the House of Lords to put him to his oath, feeling certain he could not refuse on oath to acknowledge her as his wife. The article complained of had given her more pain than anything that had occurred since her desertion by Major Yelverton. The Solicitor-General did not cross-examine. Mr. Shand opened for the defender, but called no witnesses, the documentary evidence in the mar riage case being mainly relied on on both sides. The Lord Advocate replied for the pursuer, but had not concluded when the Court adjourned.
