Mr. Beadon committed the prisoner for three months with hard labour. THAMES. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF A MARRIED WOMAN.— Henry Brooks, a tall, burly fellow, about 26 years of age, and lately employed as a hanamerman at several engineers' factories in the district, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a picture of Garibaldi and frame, and two chimney ornaments, the property of Caroline Rowe, of No. 38, James-place, RateME The prolecutrix, a young and very bold woman, who was accompanied by her two children, said her husband was at Fenny Stratford, in Buckinghamshire, and that he was about to leave the country for the metropolis. Last week she came up to London to hire a lodging and prepare a home for her husband. On Saturday morning last she met the prisoner opposite the Royal Duke public house, in the Commercial-road, at the corner of Stepney-causeway, and he asked her to step in and have something to drink. She accepted the invitation, and they had some rum and water together. After they came out of the Royal Duke he followed her home. She shut the door upon him, and he knocked loudly for admission. She let him in, and he remained some time in her company; when he entered the house be saw the portrait of Garibaldi, and said what a noble pic ture. She went upon a visit to a relative on Sunday, and when she came home she missed the picture of Garibaldi, some chimney ornaments, and other property. She gave information to the police, and the prisoner was arrested yesterday. Mr. Selfe—You are a married woman, and your husband is at Fenny Stratford. Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Selfe—Your husband sends you to London to pre pare a home for him. You meet with a stranger, drink with him, and take him to your house. That is very dis reputable conduct for a married woman. The woman held down her head abashed, and made no answer. 81 9 A girl named Eliza Collis, of No. 30, James-place, Rat cliff, stated that she saw the prisoner leave the complainant's houso on Sunday afternoon with a picture under his arm. The prisoner, in defence, said he met the prosecutrix as stated by her and drank with her. She had on a black hat with a white feather in it. She invited him to her house, and he slept with her all night. She made up a bed for him in a corner of her room, He denied stealing her picture and chimney ornaments. The prosecutrix was recalled and admitted that she wore a black hat. There was not a white feather in it. Mr, Henry English, of No. 5, Caroline-street, Commer cial-road, said the prisoner left his home on Friday morning, and had not been seen by his wife since. Mr. Selfe—And he is a married man. Mr. English—Yes, sir; he has a respectable wife. They have lodged in my house. Mr. Selfe said Mr. Brooks would have a very heavy account to settle with his wife, and Mrs. Rowe would have to give an explanation to Mr. John Rowe, her husband. Mrs. Rowe said she had missed a great many things from her room. Mr. Selfe said the conduct of both parties was highly disreputable. He remanded the prisoner until Saturday next. HORRIBLE OFFENCE.—Capt. Thomas Fraser, an elderly Scotchman, the master of the ship Commerce, from China and Singapore, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with committing an unnatural offence. The evidence went to show that the prisoner was fre quently intoxicated on board the Commerce, both on the outward voyage from Dundee and on the homeward voyage from Singapore to London, and that on four occasions he had committed the horrible offence imputed to him on the person of a young Chinaman, his steward, whose name was taken, and sounded like Johnny Morce. The prisoner had threatened to shoot the Chinaman, and kept loaded pistols under his pillow. James Menzies, second mate, who joined the Commerce at Dundee, confirmed the statement of the Chinese steward as to one transaction "in the Straits at the latter end of June." He could not say what straits. The ship was 186 days coming from Singapore. He had no quarrel with the captain until after leaving the Cape of Good Hope. In answer to Mr. Selfe, the witness said the prisoner was drunk when I saw what I have related. I spoke to the captain about it. I thought drink was the cause of it. The ship came into London on Wednesday, this day week. Fife and Martin, of Dundee, are the owners of the Com merce. The prisoner, who appeared half bewild ered, said—l did't know I was doing any harm. I was tipsy, sir. Mr. Selfe—According to your own account you are not fit to be captain of any ship. You are remanded until Sa turday next. TAE * LONDO, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 20, 1861. BIITISh OSSESSIONS. Railways. Attr & St Lawrence Bom.,Baroda&Cent Ind Gu. 5 per cent.. Do Do.

MACKINNEY AND DREWITT FOR £5O A SIDE This event, which has caused some excitement amongst the lovers of rowing, took place yesterday. The dis tance was from Putney to Mortlake. Drewitt was the favourite, the odds being 5 and 6t04 on him. Both men looked uncommonly well, and friends and backers of each were sanguine as to the result. Drewitt having won the choice of station, took the Middlesex side of the river. A good start was effected, and Drewitt immediately drew himself clear of his opponent. When off Craven Cottage they were scull and scull. In cross ing from the Crab Tree, Mackinney drew himself in front, and when rowing in his own water Drewitt fouled him. The race was, in consequence, claimed for Mackinney. The men, however, continued the race, but Drewitt's conduct afterwards gave great dissatisfaction to all parties, in continually crossing his opponent. Not withstanding, Mackinney put on a fine spurt, and got clear of Drewitt, and eventually won the match by three boats' lengths. Although Mackinney rowed the entire distance, and won, the race had been previously awarded to him by the referee, in consequence of the foul. THE LEEDS REFORM CONFERENCE. LEEDS, TUESDAY NIGHT. The second day's sitting was held at the Town Hall to day—Mr. Baines, M.P., for Bolton, presided, and after making a few remarks, called upon Mr. Hickes, one of the secretaries, to read the following resolutions, which had been adopted by the business committee appointed on the previous day. 1. That this conference regards the present state of the representation of tho people as a gross injustice to the work ing classes, who are almost entirely excluded from the franchise and without any constitutional protection for their labour, their property, their liberty, or their families. 2. That the members of this conference, whilst differing considerably among themselves as to the degree to which the franchise ought to be extended, aro unanimous in de claring that they, and those whom they represent, are deeply dissatisfied with the state of the franchise, and claim such an extension in counties and boroughs as will give the working classes a fair, honest, and effectual representation in the House of Commons, as well as the protection of voters by the ballot, and the distribution of the right to re turn members of Parliament more in accordance with popu lation and property. 3. That regarding the union of all classes of real reformers as essential to the attainment of any great amendment of the representation, they recommend the formation of a Re form Association on a broad basis, with a view to bringing them to bear on Government and Parliament by means of public meetings, petitions, memorials, deputations, and all other constitutional means, including action in the registra tion and at elections. 4. That the committee, recommending petitiens to Par liament from every town, village, and workshop, would not attempt to prescribe the kind of reform to be asked for, but would leave each body of petitioners to the exercise of its judgment, at the same time advising that friendly support should be given to every honest me: sure which may be proposed for the extension of the suffrage to the working classes, as well as for the protection of the voters by the ballot, and for a more equitable distribution of seats. 5. That a meeting of delegates be held in London soon after the commencement of the next session of Parliament to consider with each other and with friends in Parliament, and to decide upon a measure to be presented to the House of Commons. 6. That a committee be appointed for calling a confer ence in London, and if it should be desirable after corre sponding with the friends of reform to convene another conference in Birmingham, Manchester, ( tfiome other great town before the meeting of Parliament. 7. This conference cannot di; solve without expressing its deep regret and disappointment that her Majesty's Govern ment appear to have abandoned the Reform question, and that unless the preeent Cabinet introduce a Reform Bill im mediately on the opening of Parliament they must forfeit the confidence of the people. These resolutions were discussed seriatim. Almost the whole time of the sitting was taken up with a debate on the second resolution, to which Mr. Stokes, of Manchester, offered a vigorous opposition, for the purpose of getting inserted into it a clause declaring in favour of man hood suffrage ; the majority, however, thought such an addi tion to the resotution would pledge the Conference, and drive off many who would otherwise be powerful supporters. Mr. Stokes eventually withdrew his amendment, and the Conference closed. GENERAL .F.REIIION7'S AbDRESS TO THE TROOPS. The following is General Fremont's farewell ad dress to the troops : Springfield, Missouri, Nov. 2. Soldiers of the Mississippi Army,—.Agreeably to orders receivedthis day, I take leave of you. Although our army has been of sudden growth, we have grown up together, and I have become familiar with the brave and general spirits which you bring to the defence of your country, and which make me anticipate for you a brilliant career. Continuo as you have begun, and give to my successor the same cor dial and enthusiastic support with which you have en couraged rile. Emulate the splendid example which you have already before you, and let me remain as I am, proud of the noble army which I have thus far laboured to bring together. Soldiers, I regret to leave you. Most sincerely I thank you for the regard and confidence you have invariably shown me. I deeply regret that I shall not have the honour to lead you to the victory which you are just about to win; but I shall claim the right to share with you in the joy of every triumph, and trust. always to be personally remem bered by my companions in arms.

TIIE GREAT EASTERN.—This vessel is now lying safely moored at Milford Haven, where she has satisfac• torily ridden out the recent terrific gales. She is discharg ing her coals into vessels alongside, to hasten the completion of which relays of men are at work day and night so that she may be placed on her gridiron at Nayland (prepared for her purposely when she was last here) with all possible de spatch. Every necessary preparation is being made for speedily effecting her repairs, to expedite which even the resources of the adjacent Royal dockyard are readily afforded. The encomiums her commander pays to Milford Haven are of the most satisfactory description. Ho is delighted with its capacity, its security, and its remark able facilities for egress and ingress. Storms were pre , dieted for th e 17 t h and 18th. The weather at Milford 'limn has Neu remarkably fine Aucl THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. The following are extracts from the letter of the special correspondent of the limos, dated Washing ton, Nov. 2 ; THE GREAT FLOTILLA. If the awful tempest which has been raging over land and sea here has extended itself to the lati tudes in which the flotilla is labouring towards its working point, the Confederates may have to strike a medal for their armada, and they will, at any rate, have fair reason to declare " /lava Deus et hostes dissipantur." This is a moment of great anxiety. The North has sent out a considerable fleet to strike at a centre of rebellion, and if the waves defeat it there will be deep dejection, if not despair, through the land. They say the expedition ie bound to Charleston. From the moment Beauregard began to throw up batteries against Fort Sumter there was a clear casus belli against the people of that city, and any cause for the ex pedition now which did not exist then is not to be readily discovered and vindicated. The city is the nursing mother of Secession, and it has not an agreeable reputation with us, because of its peculiar regulations respecting British sailors with a rete mucosum. But, nevertheless, without being un neutral, I should be sorry to see Charleston treated as Arlington Mills or the houses in front of the Federal lines here have been dealt with. It is, in spite of mosquitoes, dust, sand, and heat, a pleasant and hospitable place, except for coloured people, although not easily accessible by a hostile force from the seaside. Our news here must come from the South by way of Fortress Monroe and flags of truce from Norfolk, or roundabout by Louisville. Never will electric wire on this continent have throbbed with bigger words for good or evil. But, after all said, it will not be concerning Armageddon itself, nor will it be of such an issue to the human race as was involved in the fate of Armada the Great and first. A victory of the kind which can be achieved by the expedition will do more good than harm ; it will enable the North to be magnanimous ; it will show the South that they have soft places, not far from the vitals, where they can be hit pretty hard. It will afford a basis for negotiators and mediators to work upon. FOREIGN MINES. Austral:an BonAccord Copper,Lim. Brazil 5t...1.del Rey,Lim Do.

The notion of asking or accepting the Emperor of Russia to do some intercession is dying away ; it was, indeed, the offspring of the belief that the Czar meant his letter to be taken as an offer of good-natured arbitration in the quarrel. Now we hear of a sort of deputation going to Europe to agitate public opinion, principally in England, and to stir up the depths in the political, commercial, and religious world respecting the troubles and the future of the United States. The path of any such pilgrims will be smeothed, no doubt, by a victory, but there will also be a thorn growing in it which must prove painful and embar rassing to their progress. THE 4TH OF JULY. I was amused the other day to see it stated that the 4th of July was a date abhorred in Great Bri tain, and that it was always rankling in the heart of Albion from infancy to extremest old age. It is a pity to say, but it is true, that 99 out of 100 inhabi tants of the Islas are in the profoundest ignorance of any particular event convected with that day, as much so, perhaps, as is Young America of the me mories of the sth of November. We know more about Brennus than we do of Madison, and there are crowds of respectable, well-informed English men, not ignorant of history, who could not for the lives of them tell who Alexander Hamilton—l do not allude to the late excellent representative of Trinity College—was, or throw the smallest light on the career and actions of Edmund Randolph, and other shining beacons of liberty, although they could discriminate nicely the characters of the two Gracchi, and have sound views respecting the causes of the fall of Sejanus. THE POSITION OF THE FEDERALS. A blockade which owes its recognition to courtesy —an army held at bay by " rebels"—a capital all but beleaguered, and cut off from supplies by sea, where it is mistress of sailors and fleets—the Monroe doctrine nullified—these are bitter draughts for a people which, without offence, we may de scribe as the most haughty and boastful on the face of the earth. Perhaps there are other nations not less so, but they have no way of making it known. There are signs of a disposition growing every day to find victims among the Cabinet, and to hold them responsible for this state of things, and the forthcoming Session of Congress is regarded with anxiety, although the Unionist ranks will pre sent a front almost unbroken and the massive form of Breckenridge has gone out from among them. It is felt that honesty in the Executive must be rein forced by vigour in council and by original ideas in policy, nor will the anti-Abolitionists be at all dis posed to permit Mr. Cameron's recent instructions respecting slave property to pass without censure or resistance. GENERAL FREMONT. Although the rumours and assertions respecting General Fr3mont's dismissal have been in men's mouths for the last month, it is only at the pre sent moment they arc fully believed, and now it remains to be seen whether the West and the extreme Abolitionists will accept with a good grace the sacrifice of their idol to the Union. In the State of New York there are threats of a Mass Convention for the adoption of the Fremont policy ; and if it be held there will be a fair test of the strength of the emancipation party in that State. The warmest supporters of General Fremont must admit he took the field in the Cambyses vein, and that his march was rather that of Louis the Great going forth to sit down before a beleaguered city than of a plain General of an unostentatious repub lic, which delights in informalities and even refuses uniforms to its diplomatic representatives. A direc tor of music and an adlatus ! a body guard, a staff large enough for an Imperial army !—these were weaknesses which had been turned with effect against the flanks of the Administrator-General of Missouri. In a second letter Colonel Frank Blair has covered his quondam friend with sarcastic ridicule, availing himself of an unfortunate allusion to General Lyon in a local paper to compare the parade, the performances, and the means of the pre sent leader of the Republican forces with those of the General whose successes were only arrested by his repulse and death near Springfield. Although the mandate is said to have gone forth, we have not received the news as yet of General Hunter having taken the command out of the hands of his chief, and if General Fremont can but fight and win a battle the policy of removing him may be attended with difficulty, and even with danger, to the Govern ment in the Western States. CONGRESS AND THE CONFEDERATES. We are told, by one who ought to know, that among the very first acts of Congress when it meets will be a most stringent law of confiscation; and, as long as the Federalists regard the Confederates merely as rebels against a certain abstract sove reignty called the Union, it is not easy to predict how far they may go in punishing treason and rebellion. .THE FEDERALISTS IN VIRGINIA. As a eurious instance of the ideas entertained by some of the Federalists respecting the position of their enemies in this w w i a t r h , aI certain r aj a i m t o u n n t i c o t n i n that a t t h e e Ps th ij a z t .la th d e elP F 4 e .a 4e P ra r li e s s t s' soldiers are marking out, plant ing, and sowing for themselves farms in the neigh bourhood of their camps in Virginia, which were deserted by the proprietors on the approach of the Federal columns. They seem to regard the soil of the seceded States very much as the legions of Augustus might have looked on the lands about the Po and Ticino. BLACK AND WHITE BLOOD. If the Northern States bo anxious to emancipate the slaves of the South, I am forced to believe it is not from any good will to the African race, or any recognition of its members as human beings of their own kind. In fact, it would be a problem for these unhappy, involuntary immigrants—if they had intellect for it—to determine whether their social ostracism and the cruel prejudice against them in the North would not be far less bearable than their chattel condition in the South. Just take this case from a paper of to-day : " The people of Cleveland have been somewhat excited over a can of iimalgamativa RJch occurred there last week. A coloured man, attached to Dan Rice's circus, won the affections of a white girl named Emily Fuller, and, obtain ing a certificate in the usual way, married her. The girl, after the marriage, returned to her father's house, and her dusky lord, believing that her parents prevented her join ing him, sued out a writ of habeas corpus in 003 of the Cleveland courts; but it appearing, on an inN%,htigation of the case, that she was not restrained in any way of her liberty, the case was dismissed. This over, her father ob tained a warrant for the arrest of the justice who performed the marriage, under an act passed last winter by the Ohio Legislature, entitled, 'An Act to Prevent the Amalgama tion of the White and Coloured Races.' This act, besides making it unlawful for any person possessing a visible ad mixture of African blood to intermarry with any person of pnro white blood, makes any person convicted of solemnis ing such a marriage liable to a fine of 100 dols, or imprison ment for a term not exceeding three months, at the discre tion of the court. The case is still under advisement." THE SLAVES OF THE SOUTH. No proposition could be more repugnant to North ern men as that of receiving the four millions of slaves of the South among their own people, and it is trite to remark that the antagonism between the lower classes of whites and free black labourers in the North is very bitter, and would produce great disorders if the latter element was largely augmented. Nowhere did I ever hear the negro spoken of with such hatred and contempt as by the poor whites near the Canadian frontiers. The driver of a hack at Niagara told me, " If some of us had our wills we'd send the cusses to - over the falls to-morrow," and such facitis descensus Averni would no doubt be favourably viewed by the noble citizens who treated Mr. Asa Pratt to a ride on a rail the other day because he uttered Seces• monist sentiments up North. The idea of the Union which bound the early Republic together seems to have lost its power wherever slavery has prepared a nidus in which to hatch the doctrines of State rights into Secession. Look, for instance, at Ken tucky. There all the old men are for the Union, but the young man, the fighting classes, are for Seces sion ; so much so that, notwithstanding the action of the Legislature in favour of the Union, the Fe deralists can only retain their hold in the State by pouring in regiments from Ohio, Indiana, and Illi nois, and General Sherman frankly admitted it would require 200,000 men to secure the State for the North. NEWS FROM SEA. All America is listening for the news from sea. At every gust which flew through the streets of Northern cities, laden with the full honours of autimn, and stripping the trees on the boulevards of their foliage, men's hearts beat fitfully, and many a prayer was offered up for the safety of the flotilla contending with the waves along that stormy coast. We may well fancy with what delight and thank fulness the furious blasts were welcomed at the Confederates' watchfires, and the contending suppli cations which rose to Heaven from:North and South, as the gale waxed fiercer throughout the night. It will take many cannons and many bayonets to make these Northerners and Southerners pray alike. All that the most sanguine here can do is to hope for the best, and to rely on the law of storms and the theory of Sir William Reid. An officer of the Navy Department assured me last night he was satisfied the expedition had escaped the tempest, the full force of which had, according to him, re volved northward ; but this official will learn more to-morrow, and the telegraph will probably convey some definite intelligence to New York after the despatch of this letter. If it be unfavourable, ex pect great irritation and depression, but "no sur render." KING COTTON. Already there is talk of raising a foreign loan to make up the difference between the slim authorised by Congress and the loan of the banks plus the Treasury notes—an amount of some seventy or eighty millions of dollars. Squeaks of distress also come from Mr. Memminger down South. King Cot ton has no Midas-gift, unless he can get out of pri son. When I was down South I ventured to assure gentlemen at Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, Montgo mery, and New Orleans that the British Empire did. not exist by and for cotton, and that England would not break the blockade, no matter how great her necessities, so long as it was maintained in accordance with international law ; and I remember well the air of compassion with which these statements were received, and the " Oh ! I'm sure you believe it. But we—we know John Bull well—a very good fellow, but he must have his cotton by fair means or foul ; without it your whole system will break to pieces. We have the cotton, and we can just dic tate terms." The delusion was equally strong in the North. But the scales are beginning to fall from their eyes. GENERAL SCOTT. Tho retirement of General Scott, which I an nounced some weeks back as certain to take place in October, was deferred to the last day of the month. On the 9th November the late commander of the United States' army will, if sufficiently recovered from his fatigues, sail in the Arago for Europe. "Rude jam donates," he seeks the society of his family in Paris and the skill of European physicians to restore his spirits and his strength. It could not be said " Superfluous lags the Veteran on the stage" if the Secretary of War really meant he would con tinue to seek the counsel and advice of the old soldier ; but it was well for the,General to escape from defamatory insinuations, and from a position I which he could not continue to hold with advantage to his country or honour to himself. THE KILLED AND WOUNDED. Whatever the gallantry of the troops engaged at Ball's Bluff, the result must have inspired anything but confidence in their leaders among the troops engaged. In proportion to the number, I know of no greater slaughter. The whole French army lost less in killed and wounded at the Battle of the Alma —the English and Turks lost less at the Battle of Balaklava—the number of our killed at Inkerman was not much more than half the total loss of the Federalists in killed, wounded, and missing ; but these were glorious victories—Big Bethel, Bull's Run, Ball's Bluff. THE UNITED STATES ARMY. It may be safely calculated that there are 75,000 or 80,000 Irishmen, or men of immediate Irish origin, in the service of the United States, and there are upwards of 60,000 Germans, and several thousands of other nationalities. On Friday even ing last I stopped to speak to some men on duty at the end of the Chain-bridge ; the sergeant of the guard was an Englishman, who had served in the Royal Marines—young, active, and intelligent ; the second man had been a private in her Majesty's 31st, the third had belonged to the 88th, and had lost a finger in the Crimea—a pretty fair foreigners out of five or sixmen .

THE EASTERN FISHERIES.-- The recent heavy gales have unfavourably affected the herring fishery off Lowestoft and Yarmouth. The deliveries during the last week have been greatly reduced at Yarmouth, an d prices have ranged at from £l4 to £25 per last for f resh fish, and at from £ll to £l5 per last fur salted herring's. As regards the export to the Mediterranean, anoth er vessel Las left Yarmouth for Genoa with 2,400 bairels an board. The FINANCE quality of the fish landed has been good.
