Sir,—The very excellent pro perties of your lozenges induce me to trouble you with an other testimonial on their behalf. All Ican say is that I have been more or less consumptive for upwards of three years, and have tried a great number of lozenges to abate the cough, but from none have I found such relief as from yours —even one of them will check the most violent attack. They are in valuable, and I strongly recommend them to persons suffer ing from a cough or cold on the chest. Pray make any use of this you please if worth your while.

DR. LA'MERT ON MARRIAGE. SELF-KNOWLEDGE and. SELF-MANAGEMENT. The matrimonial miseries which so often and so anoma lously usurp the place of matrimonial content are, in great mea *lure, owing to the want of self-kn owledge and self-manage anent with respect to functions on - which happiness materially depends. There are faculties of the body so intimately con nected with the due balance of mental and other powers that it is equally astonishing and deplorable to witness the gene ral ignorance prevailing respecting their conditions of health and its reverse. Where there exist unerring means of ascer taining whether any morbid or threatening symptoms are present, and, if so, when science offers efficacious resources for removing them, it is e,strange that men should neglect the obvious duty of self - examination and consultation, in order that their minds may be set at rest ; or, if there be really grounds for uneasinf2Es, that the causes thereof may be over come. Or. LA'mE'Ar, of 37, Bedford-square, London, is the only regularly ed:acated and legally qualified practitioner on the MEDICAL REGISTER who has devoted himself for twenty years entirely to the studies and observations incidental to this subject.

By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented.

The three vessels lately ordered are the large one laid down at Chatham, and two more, which, though inferior in dimensions to the Warrior, are somewhat larger than the Defence and her consort. We have already, therefore, three classes of Iron-sides, and we have three specimens of the first class, two of the second, and two of the third. This does not look like a very liberal provision, but the prepara tion is more considerable than it appears. Ships of this kind are so large and so costly that they will always be few in number compared with fleets of former days. The old 100 gun ship was about 3,000 tons, and cost £lOO,OOO. The Duke of Wellington is nearly 4,000 tons, and cost upwards of £170,000; but an iron-cased vessel carrying 100 guns would, even on the estimate of those who advocate iron, be of 10,000 tons burden, and cost three quarters of a million. It is obvious that fleets composed of such vessels may be powerful, but cannot be nume rous. A popular historian has just given us . a cir cumstantial account of the great Spanish Armada. It was the largest, the heaviest, and the most for midable fleet ever seen upon the ocean. It consisted of 130 vessels of unprecedented size, and its entire tonnage was 59,120. Three Great Easterns, or ten Warriors, therefore, would outweigh all this fabulous is the smallest model likely to serve for our future line of battle ships Judging by this standard, we can hardly call the estimates for the ensuing year insufficient. It used to be said that we could generally expect to build and launch out of the funds annually voted three line of battle ships, three frigates, and three vessels of minor rates. The aggregate cost of these vessels, even at the highest estimate of wooden ships, weuld be but a million, or thereabouts, whereas we are proposing to spend fully that sum upon iron during the year 1861. If we find ourselves at the close of this year with seven good and efficient iron-cased ships, we shall not have done badly, and we doubt if any other Power will be ahead of us. It is evident that these vessels cost time as well as money, and may not always succeed. The only point to be observed is, that we shall certainly not want old ships and new ships together. If we spend our million on Warriors, we need not spend it on three-deckers too. If one fashion actually comes in, the other will go out, and something, at any rate, of what we want for new iron-sides maybe saved out of the 28 line-of battle ships and frigates which we are still constructing of wood.—Times. to those who have once taken upon themselves monastic vows.

The Church of Rome ought to be infinitely indebted to the new King of Napl , s for relieving her of one of her most grievous and crying scandals ; and happy will be the day when the same measure can be applied to the swarms of ecclesiastical vermin —white, black, and gray, with all their trumpery—which infest the streets of Rome, and, indeed, of every town of the Papal States. The first lesson which Southern Italy needs is to be set to work, and the best example she can receive is the emphatic discouragement of idleness, let it cloak itself under whatever pretext it will. We hope that our own Ecclesiastical Commission will carefully peruse and inwardly digest these Neapolitan decrees. They will observe, no doubt, with much surprise that the sums realised by the suppression of monasteries are appropriated to purposes very different from those which they have been in the habit of regarding as sound and canonical. We do not find that a single ducat is devoted to raising the salary of a bishop, nor even of a dean, nor that the construction of new palaces absorbs any part of the fund. These, which we all know well to be the chief cares of our Ecclesiastical Commission, have been unaccountably neglected in Italy, and, instead of them, money is to be spent on improving the incomes and relieving the wants of the poor clergy. What a pity that M. Cavour during his many visits to England did not place himself in communication with some of our bishops, from whom perhaps he might have learnt the true principles of ecclesiasti cal appropriation, and thus spared us the pain of seeing the reputation of the first Liberal Govern ment in Italy tarnished by practices which must of course be wrong, since they are in such marked and total.contradiction to our own !—Times. LAW INTELLIGENCE, Feb. 25. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. :Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice Williams and Mr. Justice Willes.) BEADE V. CONQUEST-THE RIGHT TO DRAMATISE NOVELS. This case involved the question whether the dramatising a novel without the consent of the author is any breach of copyright. Mr. Justice Williams, in delivering judgment, said that the declaration alleged that the plaintiff was the registered proprietor of the copyright in a tale called " Never Too Late to Mend," and that the defendant, without the consent of the plaintiff, dramatised the said novel and caused the drama to be publicly represented at the Grecian Theatre for profit. To this count there was a demurrer, and it was insisted by the defendant that what • he had done was not an infringement of the plaintiff's copyright therein. The Court was of opinion that in this the defendant was right. The right claimed by the plaintiff was two-fold ; and first he con tended that his statutable right had been in fringed by the defendant. It was laid down in " Coleman v. Wathen" that the public repre sentation of a dramatic piece on the stage was not a publication within the meaning of the statute of Anne ; and the sth and 6th Victoria, cap. 45, defined copyright to be " the sole and exclusive liberty of printing, or otherwise mul tiplying copies.' This seemed to furnish a com plete answer to the plaintiff's claim under statute. The plaintiff's main reliance, however, was placed upon this, that even if his statutable right had not been infringed, he had a common law right concur rent with but more extensive than that possessed under the statute,' and that such common law right had been invaded by the defendant. It was net necessary to consider whether anterior to the statute of Anne there existed a copyright at common law in published books ; but there could be no doubt that in Lord Mansfield's time the weight of autho rity was in favour of such a right, though the doe tiine had found less favour in more modern times. But the continued existence of such a copyright after the statute of Anne was distinctly denied, in the celebrated case of Donaldson v. Buckett, by the majority of the judges, and the case itself de cided that no such common law right existed after the expiration of the period for which the statute gave copyright. The question therefore was nar s owed to this—whether the statute of Anne, having put an end to such right after the prescribed period, it was yet preserved during that period. His lordship having quoted some cases, expressed the opinion of the Court that copyright in published works existed only by statute. Judgment for the defendant. CHINA. Further correspondence respecting affairs in China has just been presented to the House of Lords. It relates exclusively to the opening of the two ports of Han kau and Kiu-Kiang in the Yang tze to foreign trade. Mr. Bruce writes to Lord John Russell on Dec. 2, 1860, that under the treaty of Tientsin we had technically no right to insist on the immediate opening of the river, but the capture of Soo-chow by the insurgents, and the bearing of this incident and of the progress of the rebellion particularly on the import trade, rendered it most desirable to find an uninterrupted channel of communication with the western provinces of China. In furtherance of this object a correspondence took place between Mr. Bruce and Prince Kung. Mr. Bruce informs the Prince that he regards it as expedient that for the present but two ports should be opened ; namely, Han-kau and Kiu-Kiang ; and in order to the prevention of abuses in the present disturbed state of the river he would pro pose that the trade with these be carried on under the following regulations :—All duties leviable under the new tariff upon import or export cargoes on board British vessels proceeding up or down the river will be payable at Shanghai or Ching kiang-fu, and the customs authorities will take such steps as seem to them necessary for the enforcement of this rule. Every British vessel proceeding up or down the river shall be permitted to carry for her protection such an amount of arms and ammunition as shall appear to the Chinese customs to be reasonable, and this amount of arms and ammunition shall be entered in a certificate to be called the " Arms Certifi cate," which shall be delivered by the customs to any master of a British vessel applying for it. Any vessel trafficing in arms or ammunition, or carry ing any amount of either in excess of that specified in her arms certificate, shall be liable to have her cargo confiscated and to be prohibited from farther trading on the river. Mr. Bruce concludes by requesting his Highness to issue the necessary instructions. Prince Kung replies, agreeing to Mr. Bruce's proposals. On Dec. 6 Lord Elgin writes to Lord J. Russell, from Shanghai, where he was engaged in considering, with the officers of the Imperial customs and some of the leading merchants, the conditions under which the opening of the river might be carried out : " If a legitimate trade can be established on this river I believe that great advantage will accrue from it, both to the people of China and to the foreigners who engage in it ; more especially at present, when the communication between the pro ducing districts and the ports on the seaboard axe obstructed by the rebellion. It will go some way towards affording to the inhabitants of the interior a market and security, which are all that a China man requires to render him one of the most valu able customers. But very different consequences will, I fear, ensue from this measure if smugglers and filibusters, under the protection of terror and exterritoriality, are enabled to avail themselves of this channel of communication to introduce foreign arms and recruits into the disturbed districts, and thereby to extend and perpetuate the reign of anarchy which threatens to convert one of the most fertile regions of the earth and its industrious population into a wilderness haunted by bands of ruffians. Irregular profits on consignments of guns and gunpowder will be dearly purchased if they are obtained by processes which will dry up the sources of production in the tea and silk-growing provinces of China. Your lordship can well under stand the anxiety which I feel to frame such regu lations for the trade on the Yang-tsze as shall keep in some check, if they do not altogether prevent, this great mischief." TILE NAVY ESTIMATES. The Secretary of the Admiralty has prepared the way for the debates on the Navy Estimates by a succinct but impressive account of the actu 11 strength of the fleet at the present moment. A single page of figures, issued from the office of the Controller of the Navy, and bearing date the 14th of this months, informs us of the actual number of vessels of all descriptions " afloat, building, or converting," which our recent exertions have suf ficed to create. It is little more than two years since the " reconstruction" of our Navy was com menced in earnest, and here are the fruits of the work. We had better, perhaps, give the simple results first, and compare them with the prospectus afterwards. _ _ On the Ist of this present February, then, we possessed very nearly 700 ships of war. This is a tremendous array of vessels ; and, though the figures receive some modification upon analysis, the conclusions will still remain extraordinary. In the first place, of course, we must deduct mere sailing ships, which, even though returned as " effective, are no longer deemed equal to the exigencies of modern warfare. The abatement, however, on this score will not be serious ; indeed, considering that we were actually launching vessels of this class as late as 1850, the item is smaller than might have been anticipated. Ten ships of the line, 17 frigates, 18 sloops, and a few score of small craft constitute now the whole sailing Navy of England, and leave an aggregate balance of 562 vessels, all fitted for propulsion by steam. Here, again, however, occurs a second discrimination. After stoutly resisting the introduction of steam in any shape, our authorities continued to resist it in the shape of the sere w-pro peller, and stuck to the paddle long after its inferi ority had been demonstrated. So we must distin guish between screw and paddle vessels ; but even this division will not much damage the results, for the screws are as four to one-115 paddles only against 447 screws. Finally, we must separate ships in esse from ships in posse, and ascertain the number of vessels actually afloat, apart from those which are only expected to be afloat by and by. Yet this drawback, also, can be very well sustained. Of the grand total of 562 steam ships of war, upwards of 500—viz., 392 screw and 113 paddle— are afloat at this very moment, leaving only 57 in the hands of the builders. All those, however, who remember the discussions of 1859 must be aware that in the comparison of our Navy with that of France two classes of ships, and two only, were regarded as of paramount im portance. That we were superior in gunboats and small vessels was perfectly understood, but it was urged that we were barely equal, if, indeed, we were not inferior, in ships of the line and frigates. This was the critical point of the case, and all our efforts were devoted to an augmentation of the Navy in ships of these descriptions. Not to drag the reader through a mass of calculations, we may briefly state that it was thought we could hardly reach a total of 56 ships of the line afloat in the year 1861. That would give the maximum of our power, and it was thought probable, indeed, that we should not attain the mark till the year 11463. Wo now learn from Lord C. Paget's return that 53 screw line-of-battle ships were actually afloat on the Ist of this month, and, as 14 more were in process either of construc tion or conversion, we may expect before the year is over to see the maximum of our expectations fairly exceeded. Again, with regard to frigates, the famous report made under Lord Derby's Govern ment showed that we had but 26 of these vessels -17 screw and 9 paddle—afloat, two receiving their engines, and none building. We have now, it ap pears, 31 screw frigates afloat and 12 building, be sides the 9 paddle frigates still in service ; so that we have a good 40 afloat, to be promptly reinforced from the dozen coming on. Of smaller vessels it will be unnecessary to speak, as our force in that respect was always considered satisfactory. The only other point to be mentioned is that the " block ships" are not included in the above reckoning. Whether they have been unduly disparaged or not we need not inquire, but at any rate they are not comprised in the present recapitulation of line of battle ships a float. There is, however, another question to be con sidered, and a grave one too. For all we know at this moment, our line of battle ships and frigates may be superseded as obsolete just at the minute when we have contrived to reconstruct them. It is at least not improbable that before the year is out we may have found that what the screw was to the paddle, and the paddle to the old sailing vessel, the iron cased ship has now become to the screw. We may have to put all our line wooden fleet into the non-effective column of our next return, and estimate our actual strength by the number of iron sides afloat. Even if things should not come quite to such a pass, and distant service should still be performed by wooden vessels, we may find that for the line of battle and home defences we must rely in future upon iron alone. So we turn with some solicitude to this item of the account, and.we find the facts as follows :—One iron cased ship is re turned as actually afloat, while six more are build ing. Of these we may presume that three are more or less advanced, and three but recently laid down or bespoken. The ship afloat is the Warrior. The Black Prince, a sister vessel, will be afloat in a few day; the Defence and the Resistance, smaller ships, will be launched, we suppose, before long. REFORMATION IN ITALY. The Italian Reformation has already begun. We cannot, indeed, claim that the work of proselytism has as yet made much progress among the people, but it is quite evident that the whole relations of Church and State in Italy have in the last two years undergone a great and most salutary modification. The mere theologian may think this of little mo ment unless attended by a radical change of dogmas, by the substitution of the Bible for the authority of an infallible Church, and of private judgment for tame and absolute submission. In a Jewish legend, however, not admitted in our Apocryphy, a story is told of a Jew at the Court of Ptolemy Philopater, who, being told to put off a journey on account of some evil omen connected with the flight of a bird, shot it on the spot, with the remark, " How can that miserable bird predict my destiny when it could not foresee its own ?" We can easily imagine that the days are not far distant wh e n some such argument will be applied to the Papacy, —when mankind, reading the long indictment pre ferree against the Pope and his Ministers by M. Lagueronniere, will begin to ask themselves—Can this Government, so full of ignorance, obstinacy, and stolid indifference, so utterly unable to under sten d its own position, to measure the forces arrayed against it with its own powers of resistance, the name of which has become synonymous with blun dering, incapacity, and reckless perversity,—can this Government be on the one side of the line which separates spiritual things from temporal, absolutely infallible, and on the other, not only fallible, but the most signal failure on record ? This will doubtless come in its own season ; in the meanwhile we have to take note of a change not wrought by the opinion of the masses, but by the wisdom of the Government, but which, neverthe• less, deserves the name not only of Reform, but of Reformation. Perhaps the saddest legacy which the old Roman world has bequeathed to - the Roman Catholic Church, and, through it, to modern society, is the institution of Monaehism. It was not unnatural at a time when everything seemed hastening to complete destruction, when the end of the world was a matter of hourly expectation, that men should fly from the pollution and disorder of a society buried under its own ruins, and seek in the deserts of the Thebaid a solace for their despair in meditation and asceticism. Nor was it unnatural that, in the Middle Ages, men averse to care or to pleasure by temperament and conviction should form themselves into religious societies, and, shut out from a; odious and repulsive world, seek peace and ease oven at the expense of weariness and monotony. Nor is it surprising that in ages of blood and violence the Church should consider it her highest and most cherished privilege to be free from the jurisdiction of the secular courts, and alone able to try the delinquencies of her members. Every petty baron had the right of being judge in his own cause, and why not the great spiritual corporation which set its feet on the necks of princes, and which in the crusade against the Albigenses solemnly awarded execution against a whole people ? But it is most astonishing that in the days in which we live there should be found any country in Europe where laws are required to prevent the labour which should till the land from being wasted in the listless and often flagitious indolence of monas teries, and to place ecclesiastical persons accused of crime at the bar of the ordinary tribunals. By a decree of the present active and intelligent Government of Naples the two Concordats wrung from the necessities of an unstable tyranny by . the Court of Rowe are solemnly annulled and declared void. All persons, of whatever creed, are declared equal before the law, and ecclesiastics have no longer any peculiar exemption. All monastic orders for either sex cease to be recognised by the Govern ment. The same fate has fallen on benefices of all kinds without cure of souls, and on all chapters of collegiate churches. The property of the religious houses is taken into the hands of the Government, and is to be charged, first with popular education, next with the augmentation of the salaries of parish priests and with the relief of the most needy mem bers of the clerical body. The fabrics arc to be em ployed for school purposes, among which infant and evening schools are not forgotten. But large and sweeping as is the change the interests of the present inmates of these houses have been cared for. Those who wish to continue a monastic life are to receive a pension, which is to be augmented by one sixth if they resile out of the cloister. No more novices are to be admitted. Thus at one blow has fallen a system the mos' pernicious to the interests of a civilised country that can possibly be imagined. It is a fearful thing to subtract a large proportion of the popula tion from the duties of civilised life, to cover their laziness and pauperism with the veil of an assumed sanctity, and suffer them to prey like locusts on the very . vitals of the land. No heavier scourge can be invented for a nation than the creation within her of another nation of men and women, vowed to celibacy, to idleness, and to uselessness, who inflict upon her a double injury, not only by what they consume without producing, but by gathering around them a crowd of beggars more lazy, more useless, and more hypocritical even than themselves. In the days in which we live, what ever be a man's religious feelings or aspirations, there is also work for him to do, and the demand for labour, physical and intellectual, still outstrips the supply. It asceticism and seclusion were legi timate inferences from the doctrines of Christianity, we might well tremble for the destinies of a faith which set itself thus in opposition to the social tendencies and progressive instincts of mankind. If men are taught to regard the life of a monk or nun as the highest of which human nature is capable, their own sense will reject the conclusion, and the result will be an indisposition to religion altogether. We regard the mendicant friars and inmates of religious houses in Italy as a standing mission against Christianity — a mission all the more perilous because, instead of openly attacking its doctrines, it seems to reduce them to an absurdity. 11re rejoice to 4ce that the greater mildness of the times in which we live, and the grater respect now paid to the rights and feelings of individuals, have secured for the inmates of religious houses in Naples a very different treatment from that which was accorded to such persons in England three centuries ago. A cruel King and a greedy nobility could not afford to wait for their prey, and turned out helpless and homeless on the mercies of a world of which they had become ignorant the aged inmates of the nunnery and the monastery. History has little to tell of their suffering ; but they were not the less real nor the less deplorable. Nothing, as we understand them, can be fairer than the propo sitions of the Piedmonteee Government with regard ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—CARLISLE, Feb. 22. Thomas Scott was indicted for an assault with intent to commit a rape upon Margaret Agar, at Dalston, on the 13th of January last. M'OubreyMr. prosecuted, and Mr. Campbell Foster defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner is an innkeeper at Dalston, and the prosecutrix was his female ser vant, who had been in his service about a fortnight. The prosecutrix (by no means a prepossessing-look ing young woman) swore that on Sunday, the 13th of January, her mistress and three of the children were driven out in a gig by the servant boy to a neighbouring village, about two o'clock, to make a call, leaving her master and his eldest child, a girl nine years of age, at home. Her master sent the little girl to a shoemaker's for some shoe strings, and during . her absence he followed the prosecutrix upstairs to her .bedroom, and threw he'r down on the bed, where she struggled with him for 20 minutes, screaming out as loudly as she could for assistance, when her master said " whist !" jumped off the bed, and ran behind the door, and immediately afterwards she heard a foot on the stairs, and her mistress entered the room, having returned from making her call. Her mistress immediately said to the prisoner, " Oh, Tom, Tom ! what have you been doing to that poor girl ?" Her master said " Nothing," and " I beg your pardon, Betsy; I will never do so again." The prosecutrix followed them downstairs, and saw the servant boy in the kitchen, to whom she showed a tear in her frock, and said her master had been ill-using her. She then went to a neighbour woman, who lived in the yard, and showed her her frock, and told her the same thing. At night she went to the constable and told him, and next morning got a warrant against her master and went home. On cross-examination the prosecutrix stated that she kept screaming as loudly as she could all the time. She denied that she had tried to conceal herself under the bed when her mistress had entered the room. The church was close to the house, and the people were leaving the church at the time. The other witnesses called confirmed the prosecu trix's statement that she had_ complained to them and shown them her torn dress; but none of them heard any outcry whatever, and the ser vant boy was in the yard putting up the pony a quarter of an hour before he went into the house after his mistress, and was in the kitchen a short time before the prosecutrix came down stairs, and heard no cries. For the defence it was contended that, though the act of the master in pulling his servant girl about was most improper, yet that whatever had been done was with her perfect assent, and that her statement about her outcries and struggles was not to be believed; for not a soul in that quiet village on a Sunday afternoon had heard any out cry, nor had the servant boy, who was actually in the house at the time. As the prisoner's mouth was closed, and his wife could not be called to give evidence, the jury must weigh the girl's evidence with the facts proved. It was suggested that, having been caught by her mistress, sne had sud denly turned round and accused her master of assaulting her in the way she had described to save her character, and, to make good her story, had shown a tear in her gown to the servant boy and the neighbour ; and except this evidence, which she had made for herself as an afterthought, there was nothing to corroborate her story. His lordship having summed up the evidence with much care, The jury, after a short consultation, acquitted the prisoner.

STAMPED, SD. EX2RAORDINARY MARRIAGE CASE. The Yelverton marriage case, which attracted so much attention a short time ago, came before the Dublin Court of Common Pleas on Thursday, in the shape of an action brought by Mr. John F. Thelwall, against the lion. Major Yelverton, " to recover a sum of £259 17s. 3d. for board and lodg ing, and necessaries supplied to the defendant's wife and her servant." Sergeant Sullivan, having stated the plaintiff's case, Maria Teresa Yelverton, or Longworth, was the first witness examined. She deposed to the facts of the first acquaintance and the marriage. On Friday she was cross examined by Mr. Brewster. Mr. Brewster—Upon your oath, is not this your action P—lt is Mr. Thelwall's. We have an equal interest in it. Mr. Thelwall is interested in getting his money, and I am interested in having my cha racter vindicated. Odic force is, I think, a kind of animal magnetism. I believe in animal magne. tism as a science not yet thoroughly developed. I have felt its influence. I think it leads us to feel an attraction towards some people and aversion towards others at first sight. I met Mr. Yelverton on my return from Boulogne in the steamer. It was in the evening ; night had fallen. There were two ladies and another gentleman with him. The ladies stayed on deck all night. Nearly all ,tfle . . passengers did so. It was a very warm My sister gave me an extra shawl. She threw it on board, and Major Yelverton caught it and folded it up. Major Yelverton, who sat near me, put a plaid over his knees and over mine at the same time. I cannot describe how near we were to each other. It did not cover our shoulders, but our knees. I took a great fancy to that plaid sub sequently. He described it afterwards as preserving the magnetic influence which it received that night, and I was anxious that it should be pre served. ' The ladies bid me good bye when we arrived in London. Major Yelverton got a cab for me. He did not get into it along with me. I saw him on the following day. I swear that he did not come to my house and dross there. The house I went to was the Marquis of Lavinnier's. I told him where I was going to stop. He asked might he come to see me, and I said he might. I cannot swear that I saw him twice in London, but I believe I did. The day I saw him on the packet was the first time I saw him. He told me his name, and that he was an officer. I don't know whether I fell hi love with him on that occasion. I cannot say whether it was or was not on that occasion I fell in love with him. Mr. Brewster—You say in one letter that you always return to your first love. What would a gentleman think of receiving such a letter from a lady—what did you mean by it ? Witness—lt was merely that I wanted to renew my first impressions. They were not love or hatred. Major Yelverton had said that he would come to Naples, and I was afraid I would have missed him. I should have been glad to see him — he had expressed a wish to see me, and I said I would be glad to see him. (Here a printed copy of • the letters was handed to witness, who was examined as to the meaning of words used by her.) Mr. Brewster—How did you begin the next letter? Witness—My dearest Charles. To Mr. Brewster—l had only seen him once or twice before I wrote that letter. I had been 12 hours in his company travelling from Boulogne. If you should be in the company of a person travel ling for 12 hours you would know him much better than by a morning call. A letter was then read from Rome, in which wit ness stated that she had been requested by a cardinal to go into a convent, whereupon witness showed a pair of pistols as her life preservers. Witness explained—The cardinal called on me, and said there was a very nice convent in the neigh bourhood, in which were a number of English ladies, and asked me to go and lodge there. He said to me I should. I said I would not, and pointed the pistols at him, which were on the table. He said, " Oh, don't," and got up to run away. (Loud laughter.) The pistols were loaded, but not capped. [Letter of the 19th July, 1854, read.] ])id you ever tell the Rev. Mr. Mooney of Ros trevor that Major Yelverton was a Protestant ? No. . . Now, I put it to you, did you ever tell him so under the seal of confession ? (Great expression of disapprobation in court.) Sergeant Sullivan—That is a most extraordinary question. We said we would produce the Rev. Mr. Mooney. The Chief Justice —She may decline to answer it ; but she is at liberty to auswer it if she pleases. Witness--I will answer The question if your lordship wishes. Chief Justice—l have no wish on the subject. You can answer it if you please. Mr. Brewster pressed the question. , Sergeant Sullivan—The question is now pressed, my lord. I will release the seal as far as I can. Witness—l have no objection to answer the question ; I never did so, in confession or other wise. (Loud and prolonged applause in court.) Mr. Brewster—Well, my lord, if this is a court of justice Mr. Sergeant Sullivan—But when such a ques- tion is put — Chief Justice—l confess I have never before heard such a question put. • Mr. Brewster—l admit that ; but in a desperate case— Chief Justice—lt may be a desperate case, but I never heard such a question put. Mr. Brewster—l would not ask such a question of a clergyman. Chief Justice—lf a clergyman is asked what was told him under the seal of confession, the rule is that he is not pressed if he declines to answer, and I think the same rule applies to penitents. The witness, in reply to Mr. Brewster, said — Mrs. Straubenzie was very much attached to me, but Ido not think she liked Major Yelverton. I wrote in one of my letters that she was disappointed at his "not going to the finale." That means that I was not married. I was not married because I did not accept the proposal to get married in the Greek church at Balaklava. At this stage of the proceedings the case was adjourned till the following m orning. SATURDAY, Feb. 23. Long before the opening of the court on Saturday a large crowd had collected, eagerly pressing to get good places, and, when admission was granted, a tremendous rush into the galleries and every other available spot of the court took place. The Lord Chief Justice sat at a quarter to eleven o'clock. Lord Avon - more (as he has done since the commence ment of the trial) occupied a seat on the bench. Mrs. Yelverton having taken her seat in the wit ness-box, her cross•examination was resumed by Mr. Brewster—l look at the letter of the 2d of July. I see the statement that " all the troops are off from the Crimea." Major Yelverton asked me to wait for him for three months, and I promised to wait for him at Belbec. He said he would take me as his sister to Monastir, where Alcide had a property. One letter had this passage--" I think I now begin to understand your meaning and my own." That was to consent to a private marriage, and that she would keep it secret if she promised to do so. She explained that Mr. Yelverton had one half of the plaid and herself the other. This was like the custom in country places of breaking a six pence, one party keeping one half and the other the other half. When they were married she asked Yelverton for his half of the plaid, that she might sew it up. He said he wished to wear it near his person, and that he had cut a hole in it to throw over his head. (Laughter.) Mrs. Yelverton read a letter from Major Yelverton, which was in Italian, and contained the following passage " Be the welcome one.—Yours, dearest, CARLO. At this stage of the proceedin gs the witness burst into tears, and leaned over hew itness nb ess ex for some minutes. There was an adjrnmet of the court for some moments. The Court, on resuming, proceeded. with the cross examination of the witness— I bel ie strict ly in the doctrine of the Catholic Church, and I attend to its practices. Marriage is a sacrament in t ae Catholic Church. I proposed to Yelverton at Edinburgh to have the marriage celebrated accord ing to the Catholic rites. He declined to have the marriage so celebrated unless he could do it with safety. He told me part of his people were Catholic, and part Protestant. He said his father and mother were Protestants. I knew he was the son of an Irish peer. I would have married him just as soon if he were a Protestant. If he had acceded to your proposition of being married by a Catholic clergyman in Edinburgh, would you have suggested to him the propriety of goinq to confession ? Witness—Yes. I remember Major Yelverton coming on board the steamer when I was leaving Edinburgh. 'iv came into the Cabin on that occa- ,•• sion. - We went into the ladies there alone. 4, Mr. Brewster said he had so: Iry t • )int•of the case. Chief Justice—lt only necessit.. _ of a question like one that was put yk. :dap. - S Mr. Brewster—That is what I do not wish to do. - 7 1 , Chief Justice (to the witness)—Did anything improper take place on that occasion ? Witness—There did not, my lord. Cross-examination continued—l thought that, so far as the law of Scotland was concerned, I was hound to Major Yelverton. He said the reading of the marriage service was a perfect marriage between us. 1 said it required the performance of the sacrament. lie replied that parties conferred the sacrament on themselves, and I was opposed to that idea. He insisted, after that ceremony, on enjoying the rights of a husband, and I objected to it. I considered it would he a sin to lire with him in that marriage. If no other marriage had taken place, I never would have allowed him to enjoy the rights of a husband if I had known 1.16 much as Ido now. I would have lived with him, as I have been told by a clergyman that it would not have been a sin to have lived with him. I have heard that since these proceedings com menced. Mr. Brewster —Believing, as you did, from his statement that he was not a Protestant, that he did not believe in Protestant doctrines, and that he did believe in Catholic doctrines, were you at all sur prised at his reading the Protestant ceremony to you? • Witness—That was only by accident. The book was lying on the table. If it had been a Catholic book he would have read it the same. lie must have read the marriage ceremony out of the Prayer book. The proceedings were again adjourned to this day (Monday.) FALLING IN OF A TUNNEL.--78,EVEN MEN BURLED ALIVE. SHEFFIELD, MONDAY. n appalling accident occurred in Sheffield this morning, by the falling in of a railway tunnel. The tunnel to which the accident occurred is the one belonging to the Midland Railway Company, and connects that line with the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, running from the Wicker-station across Occupation-road to the junc tion with the Manchester line at Ton Bross-lane. The accident has been caused by the excavations for some extensive stabling premises which are being built for Messrs. Hunt, carriers. These pre mises, which are closely adjoining the'tunnel, are partially erected. The large excavations on one side of the tunnel have caused the superincumbent earth on the other side to press with much greater force on that side, and the consequence has been that that side of the tunnel has given way and been forced in. The process of giving way is curiously perceptible in the tunnelling left at each end of the spot where it has fallen in, the tunnel being bent from the perfect round, and partially collapsed, like the side of a partially-crushed egg-shell. About 30 yards in length of the tunnel has fallen in. The exact number of the men working on the spot and who are missing is not known, as some fresh hands had been set on this morning. Probably altogether seven or eight were buried under the ruins. Informa tion was given at the police-office, and Mr. Jack son (the chief constable) was promptly on the spot, with a body of men to preserve order. Under his directions, conjoined with those of Mr. Rey- nolds,. the builder, the other men on the place set themselves energetically to work to recover the bodies of their comrades. By ten o'clock they had recovered two, one dead, and another named. Lambert, crushed about the head. He was imme diately sent to the infirmary. At this point, how ever, Mr. Cobby (the Midland Company's superin tendent in Sheffield) interfered, and ordered the men to desist from digging, on the ground that there was no danger of a further fall. It may be mentioned that the point at which they were digging (where one of the bodies was found, and where the eye-witnesses of the accident stated that some of the other men were buried) was a spot in the middle of the ruins, and some distance from any place where any further falling materials could be disturbed. Mr. Cobby refused to allow the excavations to go on until an engineer had ar rived from the central offices at Derby ; and for the purpose of getting the engineer, he immediately sent a telegram. In the meantime the bodies lay under the ruins. This was about ten o'clock. In the course of about three hours, Mr. Reynolds determined to continue the work of recovery on his own authority, - and he did so; but if there was any hope of recovering any of the men alive, it was all lost now. The man got out is not badly hurt.. He was only partially buried, and was extricated with out much difficulty. Most of the men who .fell were engaged on the top of the tunnel in carrying materials, &c., for the adjoining building. Others were on the building itself, and feeling something giving way under them feared it was the building which was falling, and they rushed from it to the top of the tunnel, and were precipitated with it. In addition to those recovered, it is believed tha there were buried James Malay, William Booth, Henry Booth, Samuel Lawton, a man named Harding, and another whose name is unknown. At the time our parcel was despatched the work men were proceeding with the work of excavation. ESSAT 8 AND 1?E VLETP S. The following letter appears in a contem porary . . Sir,—l am induced to address you by observing that the manifestoes put forth under sanction of all the bishops,condemning the publication of "Essays and Reviews," should excite so little attention in the public press. It' it were merely a squabble confined to and concerning only the tenets of an ordinary sect, it would certainly not be a subject adapted for dis . cussion in a daily newspaper, but when the whole of the nominal leaders (or at all events controllers) of a Church supported by national funds desire to impose a construction upon its formularies which is not recognised by some of its most intelligent members, and which shuts them out from ordina tion, the matter is of such importance that it behoves the press to encourage discussion upon it, and to give public opinion an opportunity of declaring itself. If this declaration of the bishops be not protested against, but adopted by the Church generally, it must have the effect of driving from ordination such as may hold similar opinions to those ex pressed in " Essays and Reviews," thus depriving the Church of the services of men equally worthy of respect (we may suppose) with the authors of that work. - The right of private judgment has long been ac knowledged by church authorities, and if that means anything at all, it justifies these men in put ting their own construction on the church's formu• larks ; and the bishops, by calling their honesty in question, seek to destroy this right. They are, indeed, justified, not by any innovating doctrine, but by the tradition of the church itself. The adoption of the bishops' principle would not only be grossly unjust, by excluding many now eligible from entering the ministry, by shutting out intelligent men—it would be detrimental to the church itself, and by deteriorating the quality of a class who have great influence from their office, apart from their individual qualities, it would have injurious effects wherever their influence is felt. If the Church of England persists in narrowing its principles so as to exclude by each step some further portion of its followers, it must manifestly decline in strength in comparison with the rest of the nation, and will not much longer be able to support its claim, to be considered a national Church ; therefore if its supporters wish that it should continue to be entrusted with . the national property, they would do well for their own offic own_caers use not to allow it to be wea kened by its . From these considerations alone I think it must be acknowledged that this protest of the bishops should not be sanctioned by the Church generally. To those who advocate the independence of i vidual opinion its opposition to that doctrine will be sufficient con d em nation. —I am, &c., Cork, Feb. 2L E. R. F.

PUBLIC PETVIONS.—Between the 18th and 20th nine petitions for another Reform Bill were presented. 238 petitions with 12,112 signatures were presented against the Church Rates Abolition Bill. There was one petition in favour of the bill and 11 for alteration in the law.

The pain is situated in the joints, muscles, or nerves, whence it may be driven by fomenting well with warm salt and water, and, after drying the skin, let it be rubbed twice a day with Holloway's ' soothing Ointment, which should also be rubbed into the neighbouring glands. It is always advisable to take Hollo way's Pills in these disorders, as they much assist the Ointment's action. The Pills check fever, purify the blood, and expel all morbid mat ters engendered by these diseases—not only will all pain cease, but the cause of these maladies will be dislodged, as 1,414 551 1,094 5,347 2,927 888 153 1,231 1,532 1,328 1,412 587 934 2,884 5,274 2,939 541 1,05.7. 2,7332 3,690 1,715 715 2,675 14,983 6,620 3,066 7,167 4,792 1,591 101 1,342 350 1,074 '646 3,836 6,249 369 649 667 779 24,630 262 1,404
