(Before the Judge Ordinary.) HEATH V. HEATH AND WADE. This was a petition presented by the husband against his wife for dissolution of marriage, on the ground of adul tery with the co-respondent. The petitioner was the son of the celebrated engraver, and resided at Chester Cottage Chalk Farm, and Mrs. Heath had formerly been a domes tic servant at his mother's house. The marriage; took place, secretly, in 1855, and some time after that they both remained at Mrs. Heath's. Three or four months after the respondent told the petitioner she had received a letter from the country, informing her of the dangerous illness of her mother, and she left London for the purpose of attend ing on her, the husband making her an allowance to defray the expenses of the journey. He afterwards received a letter from her, stating that she had a miscarriage, and wished him to send money for the payment of the debts such an occur rence had occasioned. From certain circumstances Mr. Heath was induced to doubt that he had anything to do with the pregnancy of Mrs. Heath, and he wrote several letters to her asking for explanations, but none was given. Mrs. Heath some time after this went:into the service of a person named Wade, a married man with a family, and a farmer in Suffolk. Mrs. Heath lived there till 1860, when Mr. Wade and Mrs. Heath left the place together, and went to Harwich, where they lived together for some time, when Mrs. Heath was delivered of a female child, which she registered in the name of Head, the name she and the co respondent had assumed during their stay in that place. The following evidence was adduced:— Mr. Lettice, the vestry clerk of St.:Pancras,:produced the parish registry, in which was an entry of a marriage be tween Henry Chas. Heath and Mary Ann Smith on the 21st July, 1855. John Tregard, clerk to Messrs. Howard and Dolman, formerly solicitors to Mr. Heath, proved the handwriting of the parties in the parish register. The registrar of births and marriages, of Harwich, pro duced the book of births for the year 1860. There was an entry of the birth of a female child on the 23d Nov., and the signature of the informant was identified as that of the respondent, Mrs. Heath. Mr. Tregard said he had been in the habit of paying money to Mrs. Heath. The first time he did so was in Nov., 1855, and afterwards he paid her money till the year 1859. He first saw Mrs. Heath in August or Sept., 1855 ; she used to come to the office of Messrs. Dolman. He did not know she was then married. Mr. Heath had never mentioned anything abont his marriage that he recol lected. He knew that Mr. Heath saw Mr. Dolman in the same week that Mrs. Heath came. He had frequently seen Mrs. Heath write, and :she had sent letters giving directions how the money was to be sent to her. Mr. Rymark, the registrar of births, in Harwich, said after the first entry of the birth of the child had been made by a person calling her. elf Mrs. Head, she came to him and said she had made some mistake, as her name was Heath, not Head John Mister, boots, at the Cups Hotel, Harwich, said in 1860 he remembered wady and gentleman coming there. They remained there one night, and occupied the same bed room. They afrerwards went to live at Mr. Fenner's, and he frequently saw them in the house, as his family lived there. They went in the name of Mr. and Mrs. Head. He saw the petition from this court served on the parties. Mrs. Fenner said—ln August, 1860, the last witness brought a lady and gentleman to lodge in her house. They gave the name of Head. The lady remained there about three months. The gentleman, who called himself Mr Head, visited her about once a week - , and he told her he was a commercial traveller. The lady was eventually con fined at her house, during which time the gentleman used constantly to visit her. Dr. Phillimore, who appeared for the respondent, said he could not struggle against the evidence which had been given in support of the prayer of the petition. The jury were satisfied that the respondent had com mitted adultery with the co . respondent, and that the peti tioner lied not wilfully neglected his wife. Mr. Macauley, Q.C., the counsel for the petitioner, said Mr. Heath intended to allow the respondent £3O per annum during the time she remained unmarried. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day). MAE LBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A COACHMAN.—JIMICS Priseman, coachman to Mr. Robert William Beckley, warehouseman, of 218, Upper-street, Islington, was chargel as follows : Mr. Beckley said, on the previous night about 10, he left, with some of his family, the Egyptian Hail, and when in New Bond-street he found the defendant was driving very fast. After nearly coming in contact with two or three vehicles, the defendant drove the brougham over a heap of earth, and into a large hole, opened for a sewer. Finding the defendant was intoxicated, and not in a fit state to drive, he asked him to get down and allow him to drive home, but the defendant refused, and tried to urge the horse over the bystanders, and would have done so, but for the assistance of a soldier and a constable. The defendant then got from the box and jumped inside the brougham, and refused to leave it , and he therefore drove him to the station. He (Mr. Beckley), under the circum • stances, considered it a most fortunate thing that there had been no injury to himself or others. Mr. Tyrwhitt said be supposed the defendant would lose his situation. Mr. Beckley said he should certainly discharge him. Mr. Tyrwhitt said, that being the case, he would make the fine lower than he otherwise should have done. The defendant would have to pay 205., or 14 days. A man who did not know when he was well off must be taught. He (Mr. Tyrwhitt) knew no class so well off as livery servants, who were well treated, and had all their wants supplied. ROBBING A SOLICITOIL—Two females, named Ellen Taylor and Catherine Lacy, were charged with stealing the coat of Mr. John Fraser Walker, solicitor, of 16, Nor thumberland-street, Strand. The prosecutor had been captured by one of the females after he left the Princess's Theatre, then went to the American Stores, and afterwards accompanied her home to Berner's-court, a low place, and there lost his coat. The prisoners were remanded. THE .RESPONRIBILIfT OF THE A. 2118 RICAN OUTRAGE. The letter of General Winfield Scott is circum stantially contradicted in an important point by the Patrie, and with much apparent exactitude. if the French paper is well informed, Capt. Wilkes did not act without due instructions, and cannot be disavowed : " Various English journals, in speaking of the American conflict, state that the San Jacinto may have acted with out orders, and that the act might easily be disavowed by President Lincoln. We believe we may state, on good authority, and the English Government is equally well in formed, that the San Jacinto, James Adger, Susquehannah, Tempest, and Savannah, received identical orders from the Cabinet at Washington, directing them to search every vessel suspected of having the Southern envoys on board, and to seize those personages and their despatches. It is known to every one at Washington that the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of the North had more than once accused the Cabinet cf London of entertaining an under standing with the Government of the South ; and that it was to ascertain the state of negotiations which were pre sumed to exist between England and President Davis that the arrest of MM. Slidell and Mason was decided upon ; by which measure he hoped to get hold of the important despatches which he was most anxious to possess. " 'I he five cruisers whose names we have given above were placed along the line which the two envoys would have to take. The San Jacinto, which was stationed at the Havana, coming from the African coast, received her instructions from the American Consul there; and it was after a conference with that agent, who explained to him the wishes of his Government, that the commander of the San Jacinto went in pursuit of the Trent, whose nationality was perfectly known to him. The commander of the San Jacinto, while capturing the envoys, forgot the despatches so anxiously wanted at Washington." TIIIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Dec.

Late advices from British Columbia regarding the yield of gold are extremely favourable. New disco veries of great richness had been made, and in some locali ties the miners were realising larger sums than have ever been obtained by individuals in California or Australia. The instances of persons gaining steadily from £lO to £3O a day were numerous. Two labouring men had just arrived at Victoria, Vancouver's island, £1,400, the produce of only a few weeks. Success was so general that it is said "we hear of no dissatisfied miners " A large immigration was consequently expected, but the great drawback con sisted in the absence of steam communication between San Francisco and Victoria, ,LITERATURE. One Hundred Lectures on the Ancient and Modern Drama and Dramatic Poets. By B. C. Jones, in Nos. Lacy, Strand; and Simpkin and Marshall, Paternoster-row. The author of this work aims at giving to the public in the form of popular lectures some account of the great dramatic writers from the earliest ages down to our present time. Commencing. with Thespis, the supposed founder of the art, who flourished in Greece about 530 8.C., he goes on to describe the principal plays of fEschylus and Euripides, giving copious extracts from those authors. He tells us that the reason why Thespis is often called the founder of tragedy is, that when dithyrambic choruses were chanted at the feasts of Bacchus, Thespis used to recite mythological stories between the parts. Captain Jones justly observes that this would rather entitle him to be styled the father of melodrama than the founder of tragedy, and claims that honour for ifischylus. He proposes to devote the first series of :his lectures entirely to the Greek tragedians, and the second to the comedies of the same date, finishing the tNr, o series with Seneca, whose birth took place about the Christian era. He then comes down to more modern days, and if he discusses the merits of only half the names on his list he will have ample material for his hundred lectures. He intends however, to notice also some of the actors who have brought the drama prominently forward. The lectures have apparently been addressed to a mixed audience, and the author seems very apprehensive of making them tedious. We would warn him, however, to beware of flippancy and of preventing readers of sober tastes from crediting that real in formation and intelligence are to be found in them. There are also little affectations of style, such as the frequent use of "'Tis," " 'Twere," &c. It is very probable that such mannerisms will be dropped as the lecturer goes on, and becomes more identified with his subject. We would sug gest to him that, as the aim of his work is to ren der a knowledge of classical literature popular, his abject would be better attained by considerably reducing the price of his lectures. At present their circulation must be restricted to a select few; but if they were less expensive many might be inte rested in their lively and unpretending style, who would feel no inclination to study more ambitious or solid commentaries. Paul Duncan's littleby Little. A Story for Young Folks. Edited by Frank Freeman. Sampson L nv and Co., Ludgate hill. The prevalence of moral tales for the young, written in an amusing manner, is one of the chief improvements that have taken place in the literature of modern times. So much may be learned from the apt inference and the happy illustration ; and while the attention is seemingly intent on trifles, wisdom may be gathered and virtue take rost in the youthful mind. This little story shows what progress may be made by an ener getic lad who is willing and able to exert himself, and put the golden moments of youth to the best profit—hence be is succasful in his endea vours, and proves a benefit and a blessing to all around him. The career of Paul Duncan is full of warning and yet full of promise and hope to all boys similarly situated, The son of a widow has peculiar claims on him, and assiduity and perseverance are incumbent on him. Mrs. Duncan was indeed blessed in her children, and few mothers could expect better ones ; for their faults were only trivial, hile their merits were of no ordinary class. This little sketch of the early years of a boy's life is entertaining and instructive. It teaches the giddy and thoughtless haw they may improve the shining hours of the present that they may bear rich fruit in the long years of the after time ; and when the pleasures of childhood are over and the joys of youth departed, the seeds they sow in that happy season may yield a glad harvest in the dark days that wait on maturer age, and bring a blessing on their lives by the consciousness of talents that aro cultivated for the great day of account. Some of the scenes at sea are very exciting, and are sure to prove attractive to boys. This simple story is told in a natural and pleasing manner, and may be expected to take its place among the useful and amusing libraries that abound for the young, from which they derive such stores of entertainment, and from which they can, if rightly disposed, obtain also knowledge that will be valuable to them in the first trials and early temptations of their young hearts and lives. The Children's Picture-Book of the Sagacity of Animals. Illustrated with Sixty Engravings, by Harrison Weir. Sampson, Low, and Son, Ludgate-hill. This is an elegant gift-book for children, and one that will afford them a great deal of useful informa tion. The study of natural history is oue of the most curious and interesting that can be brought before a child, and few subjects are more attractive. This book is especially entertaining from the variety of amusing anecdotes, and the agreeable manner in which they are narrated. Those beyond the age of childhood may well derive profit and pleasure from the perusal, while for the juveniles themselves a rich treat is in reserve when they become the fortunate possessors of this beautiful volume. The engravings are very well executed, and their number and variety are addi tional advantages in a book for youth, as children always learn so much more from the contempla tions of the things themselves than from any de scription in words, however simple or plain it may be. This delightful little work can be con fidently recommended to the notice of all looking out for a gift-book at this season, and they are not likely to be disappointed at the results, as few can fail to be gratified with this brilliant assem blage of animals of every class and kind, while they can study their peculiarities and be amused at their vagaries. The Royal Insurance Company's Almanac for 1862. Grant and Co., Ludgate-hill. A handy little pocket almanac for the ensuing year, containing a good deal of information on all matters connected with insurance, especially with regard to the Royal Insurance Company. The almanac registers all the chief fires that have oc curred during the past year, and a full description of the great fire in Tooley-street is subsequently given. Besides the usual intelligence to be found in books of this kind, we have an extended account of the French Tariff of Customs duties as appended to the Treaty of Commerce, and a comprehensive summary of the events of the Garibaldian campaign in the Two Sicilies. TRIS DAY'S MAREETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Although the fresh arrivals of English wheat were very moderate, the trade, both for red and white qualities, was in a sluggish state. Yet no change took place in prices compared with Monday. The supply of foreign wheat was tolerably extensive. Buyers were cautious in effecting sales, and the amount of business transacted was small, at late rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at full currencies. Malting barley sold slowly at barely stationary prices. Grinding sorts, however, were firm. The finest descriptions of malt moved off steadily at full quotations. Tuferior parcels, however, were a dull sale. Oats were in steady request, and prices were well sup ported. _ Beans and peas changed hands slowly on former terms. In flour very little was doing, yet the currencies ruled firm. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oath. Flour. Eng1i5h........ 1,830 2,640 3,510 9O i 3,220 sack Irish — !

By the Overland Mail we have received advices and papers from Bombay to the 12th, and from Calcutta to the 3d Nov. We extract the following summary of news from the Bombay Gazette of the 12th ult : The English mail of the 3d October arrived in Bombay on the morning of the 28th idem, and the Bombay mail left England in the afternoon of the same day. The general health and prosperity of the country have been uninterrupted since our last despatches. In connection with the harvest, everything has progressed favourably. Important events have signalised the past fort night. The government of India has cast off the reproach of ages, and henceforth there will be no opposition to the settlement of Europeans in the country, nor any let or hindrance to European colonisation. We allude to the resolution of the Governor General of Indiain Council on the sale of wastelands and the redemption of land revenue. We have now to see what the effect of these im portant measures will be. Manchester and the Cotton Association have clamoured for them long end loud. What they have demanded has now been liberally conceded. We shall see whether or no their cry was vox et prceterea nail. Many suspect that it was. Many suspect that grievance-mongers will be sadly grieved by the concessions that have been made and the removal of their grievances. At all events, India is thrown open to European settlers and capital. The introduction of both would be attended with great benefits to India, England, and the world. It rests wholly with the capitalists of Britain whether these benefits shall be realised or not. India may be the feeder of Lancashire and the granary of Britain. Lord Canning has decided the question of the seat of government of the North West Provinces, Allahabad or Agra, in favour of Allahabad, and has sanctioned the erection of buildings for govern- ment offices. The proclamation calling into existence the Bengal Council has sent to England for approval as provided for in the act. On the return of the Viceroy from Allahabad and Lucllnov, a proclama tion will be issued, dissolving the late legislature and creating the Imperial Bombay and Madras Legis latures, though those bodies will not meet till next year. Mr. Ritchie, the Advocate-General of Calcutta, has been appointed to the post of legislative member of the council of the Governor-General. It is stated that Baboo Ramapersaud Roy will be appointed to the tenth seat in the High Court ( f Justice in Bengt]. His knowledge of Hindoo and Mahomedan law is of a very high order. It is stated that Baboo Prosonococmar Tezore will be appointed to a seat in the Imperia! Legisla tive Council when it meets under the new act, about the 15th November. The judges of the Supreme Court of Calcutta are roaming during the vacation in the upper regions of India, in the Himalayas. If they can travel from one end of India to the other for receation and pleasure why not periodically on circuit for business ? Lieut. Pengelley, Her Majesty's Indian Navy, who has for some time acted as British agent at Muscat, is about to vacate the appointment under circumstances not yet made public. The order for the formation of the new brigades of artillery has been promulgated. The whole of the old Indian artillery, who volunteered for general service, have become part of the Royal Artillery— the Horse Artillery in the three Presidencies be coming respectively the 2d, 3d, 4th, and sth Royal Horse Brigades ; and the Foot Artillery numbering consecutively from the 16th to the 25th inclusive. Government has sanctioned the sum of 15,000 rupees for th 3 construction of a pier at Randeir, a town situated on the south of the Teptee, op posite to Surat, to facilitate the shipping of cotton. The enterprising people of Oude, headed by Maharajah Maun Sing and Mr. Menzies, have embarked in cotton cultivation on an extensive scale. • A resolution of the Bombay Government has been published on the subject of affording honour• able employment to Sindees of rank and influence who may duly qualify themselves for it, For this purpose Government has directed two first class and three second-class assistant collectors and two probationers to be nominated. A resolution has been passed by Government to induce pensioned and supernumerary sepoys to settle to the cultivation of the large tracts of waste lands in Khandish. His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of Bom bay has proceeded on a tour through the southern divisions of his command, accompanied by Colonel Stock, Col. Phayre, Col. the Hon. F. Thesiger, Dr. Hadaway, and the officers of his personal staff. The line of rail from Khandalla to the reversing station on the Bhore Ghaut may be made available for traffic by the end of the present year. Cholera is still raging in Cabool, though not so violently. The victims of the decease were said to be 50 daily. COMMERCIAL. THE BOMBAY MARKET. Bombay Gazette Office, Nov. 12. Since the departure of the last mail the import market has exhibited alittle improved activity, especially in piece goods, owing chiefly to firm ad vices received from England, and the advices from Calcutta reporting of a largo advance in the valuo of staple grey goods. EXPORT. Cotton—The market during the past fortnight has been to some extent influenced by the course of the market in Liverpool, and prices have gained a further advance in cone sequence of the latest advices from Liverpool reporting of a fresh advance in price there. The inquiries, however, ars very limited, ae purchasers are very cautious, and are afraid of entering into any extensive operations, being uncertain as to the issue of American offai, s. A few contracts have been entered into by native houses for new Oomrawattee cotton, probably for shipment to China. The November speculation was settled on the 9th inst , when the price upon which differences are to be paid was fixed at rs. 174/ ; the speculation next opened is for the month of May. Stocks are naderate, and supplies are coming in very freely. CALCUTTA, Nov. 9. Shirting—G: - ey, few sales lately; prices firm. Twist—Muie, prices declined a little, but are again firmer.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT AND GALLANT ATTEMPT TO RESCUE.-4& very serious accident occurred at Fareham the other day, under the following circumstances :—lt ap pears that a tbv3shing-machine was at work in a farm yard, near the town of Fareham, when the farmer's wife went to call her husba3 ad, who, she supposed, was engaged at the machine. She: vent too near the machine, and her clothes became entangle d, and the poor woman was dragged down by the machinor]*. A young work man, named Do wn, per ceiving her imrni.nent peril, stepped forward, and at the risk of his life dragire d her away. In the attempt, however, Down was seriofl sly injured ; the two middle fingers of his right hand becam 3 entangled in the machinery, and the flesh and skin of one w ere literally drawn from the bone. The other finger was :much crushed. Tho unfortunate young man was convey ed . to Portsmouth Hospital, where his fingers were amputated,, :his right hand being maimed for ever. He was progressing favourably after the amputation on Friday night.— West S ussex Gazette. A SWINDLER. IN MACCLESF;ELD.—An amusing hoax has just be +ex 1. perpetrated in Macclesfield. A portly and respectable-bet king mar arrived and represented that he was the agent o f Mr. Mitchell, of London, and had come to Macclesfield to :make arrangements for a concert to be given by Madame Jenny Lind Goldschmidt, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Sigi tor Belletti. On the strength of his plau sible representati oni;, several of our local authorities, musi • cal professors, pr inters, editors, the town bill-poster, and others, were dup ed--each party seeming determind to out vie the other in. entertaining the impostor. No lord or squire could ha - co fared better than did this Jeremy Did dler en Fziday, 3att Irday, and Sunday last, and his enter tainment did not; ea st him a farthing. At length one rather shrewd individt ml began to suspect that the pretended agent was not chat he represented himself to be; and on a gentle hint bein g e: cpressed to the gentleman to that effect, he became ind4,22a) rt. He took his flight however as soon after this as pos 04 le, and his present whereabouts cannot be ascertained. fTHIRD EDITIO SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Advices from Christiania, Norway, dated the 12th ult., mention that in the previous week the new Stor- Hammer line of railway was partially opened for passengers and goods traffic to Elverum. This is one of the feeders to the trunk line, though the smaller of the two, as it is only 21 miles in length. It will not be formally opened till the spring, as all the stations are not yet ready. The liongs vinger line, which is above 60 miles, may be also partially opened, but it will not be finally completed before next summer. Meanwhile, it is said, the trunk line is steadily developing the resources of the districts within its influence. The new traffic year has commenced under favourable cir cumstance% and the receipts show an increase on the' eight weeks of nearly 12,000 dollars on the corresponding period of last year. The rate of exchange from St. Petersburg bag fallen from 34d. to 331 d. The Government will therefore probably find it necessary to cause some amounts of specie to be remitted to London or Paris. SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE Snow.—Three o'clock yesterday afternoon being, under the regulations of the Smithfield Club, the last hour at which agricultural imple ments could be received, the vicinity of the Baker-street Bazaar, at which the show is about t o Po held, presented a scene of great bustle and animation, several of the locomo tive working machines which arrived, propelled by their own steam, having attracted a vast concourse of spectators. This year no less than 967 stands have been provided for the exhibitors, being 100 more than last year, or on any pre vious occasion. The reception of the cattle and other stock will commence this morning, and no specimen can by the rules of the club be admitted to the show-yard after 10 o'clock to-morrow evening. The Prince Consort and the Prince of Wales are both expected to visit the show this year. It is started that some huge specimens of cattle from the Florentine Exhibition will be admitted, although not as competitors for prizes. The judges will examine the stock and make their awards on Monday, on the evening of which day the private view will take place. The show will open to the public on Tuesday morning, the lOst inst., and con tinue open duxing that and the three following days.
