THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARC ii 2, 1861. TEE BANK O 1 ENGLAND. FRIDAY EVENING.—The funds have been gene rally steady to-day, at a fractional improvement, but the tone of the market was less strong after regular hours. The tendency to a relapse was chiefly in consequence of, an active demand for money, owing to the absorption taking place at the Bank by the rapid increase of the reserve. The return published this evening shows a further large augmentation not only in -the reserve, but in the bullion, and again demonstrates the impolicy of the step recently taken, and - which was in contraven tion of every principle by which the movements of the rate of discount have hitherto been supposed to be regulated. " Watch the stock of bullion and the state of the has been the invariable admoni tion since 1841 ; but, if a rapid improvement in both is to be attended by the same results as would accompany a fall, there can be no opportunity for the exercise of discrimination. The only plea attempted has been that the advance to 7 per cent, failed to stop the drain of gold ; •but this is entirely erroneous, as the bullion and reserve were both higher at the moment when the rate was raised to 8 par cent. than a fcw weeks previously, when 7 per cent: was considered sufficient by the Bank, and more than sufficient by the public at large, who looked to the light of precedent. Moreover, the extent of the subsequent further increase not only shows that the,drain had been arrested; but that the tide had been efficiently turned, since no one will believe that the results witnessed during the past two weeks have been from the sudden change from 7to 8 per cent. If gold would have continued to "go out at 7 per cent., it would still have gone with . only diminished force at 8 per cent. Besides, if we are to suppose that a movement of 1 per cent. could so instantaneously bring in between £600,000 and £700,000, it is clear that with so potent a remedy always at their command there was no occasion for the Bank to rush to a measure of precaution while the question of its necessity was in doubt. It is also to be borne in mind that when the Bank went up to 8 per cent. no one had the slightest knowledge of the increased American demand for gold that was about to arise from the acceleration of cotton shipments under the double apprehension of a blockade and an export duty. If, notwithstanding these circum stances, the movement has been shown to be totally unwarranted, the proof to that effect would have been still more extraordinary had they not occurred; and the policy or impolicy of an act must be judged, not by subsequent accidents, but solely by the con siderations that existed when it was performed. It was in reality, therefore, more strikingly indefen sible than it appears at this moment. Assuming that, while the Bank are largely gaining bullion on balance, the fact that we are sending; heavy portions of all the totals we receive to America is to be urged as a reason for putting up the rate of discount, a reason of that description will always exist. As soon as we once more begin to get'remittances from America we shall then, perhaps, be sending half-a million a fortnight to India and China. Hitherto it has not been thought necessary to trouble our selves with anything but the question as to the general result_ It was deemed sufficient if, on the whole, more gold was coming in than going out— a state of affairs which would have been viewed with especial content if, as is now the case, even the portion of our receipts which we were unable to retain was being sent away, not to pay debts, but to bring in unusual quantities of valuable produce which we could hold available for realisation when ever we might consider it expedient, from the temp tation of profit or the suggestions of necessity.— Tunes' City Article. day at the Admiralty E.

The law, we are told by an ancient authority, is the perfection of reason. He takes care, however, to explain, that the reason of which it is the perfec tion is not the common sort of reason, but that " artificial" sort which is " gotten by long study and experience." This gives us to understand why it is that common people, in some instances, fail to perceive the wisdom and justness of legislative acts. They have not the artificial reason which is needful for a proper cOrnprehension of the artificial business of legislation. • . With this quaint sentiment before us, we have no difficulty in reverentially confessing that Mr. Gladstone's reason is of a sort the very reverse of common, and for that cause not appreciable by common minds. -He has obstinately insisted that the Income-tax should be levied Equally on all classes of incomes, irrespective of the consideration whether they proceed from permanent or precarious sources. We protest, with Mr. Hubbard, that this equality is most shameful inequality, and that the tax can be levied, and ought to be levied, in such form as to recognise, in some measure at least, the difference between the income which a man has without earning it, and the income which a man has almost to wear his life out to obtain. We are glad, therefore,. that Mr. Hubbard's motion was carried against the Government, and shall be still more glad to learn that the committee appointed has reported in favour of his views, and that the House of Commons is prepared to give its sanction to a principle so conformable with justice and common sense. We think it a misfortune for a man to have a too subtle and refined intellect. It is like living up in the expanse above the earth. This sort of life incapacitates for ordinary mundane duties. A man who soars habitually to the stars, cannot be ex pected to pick up crumbs from the low earth. We are continually seeing instances of this superfine kind of life. We have wonderful mathematicians amongst us to whom Euclid is A B C, and who can resolve problems which border on infinity, or at least on insolubility, with perfect ease, and with a kind of recreative sensation as the fruit of their effort. But we have heard deep men of this class who could not do an ordinary sum in arithmetic, and who would be beaten in mental figuring by the shallowest of market women ! We have heard of men learned in claSsics, familiar with the gods of Pagandom, and all its poets and historians, who have found a difficulty in writing good English, and positively could not spell correctly the ordinary words of their mother-tongue. We have heard of medical men who, as surgeons or physicians, could deal skilfully and successfully with the extremest ills to which flesh is heir, but were sur passed by Old Mother --- and Quack doctor -- in the cure of burns, scalds, wounds, and the thousand-and one little ail ments which befal some one or othe a r daily. Mr. Gladstone's inability to deal with common cases arises, we presume, from a corresponding peculi arity incidental to his superfine genius. What can be more clear to a common oomprehen sion, than that a professional man or a trader who earns, with his wits or his fingers, say £5OO a year, is not so able to pay taxes, and is not under the same obligation to pay them, as the,fundholder with his sixteen thousand and odd in the Three per Cents ? The earned income depends on many contingencies; the income :from the funds on none. The professional income ceases when a man is worn out, and if he has not saved beforehand, he becomes a beggar or a dependent. On the other hand, the permanent income survives in perpetuity the present receiver, and becomes the means of maintenance or settlement for those who follow him. It is preposterous to assert that a man with £5OO a year, who may die penniless, unless of that £5OO a year he lays by for the winter of his life, is equally rich, equally available as a subject for taxation with him who, though living up to the last farthing of his £5OO a year, will die worth a great many thousands of pounds—that is, all the principal money from which his income accrued. Mr. Gladstone affirms that he cannot see the force of this argument, and he is disposed to be tricky because Mr. Hubbard has endeavoured to simplify the question, and to redress the wrong which it involves. The Chancellor of the Exche quer intimates that the argument is "a sentiment." If it were of that airy nature, we should have thought that he would be more likely to receive it, as be longing to the atmospheric region wherein he is so fond of ballooning. It is unfortunately a com monplace matter-of-fact position —a simple rule of-three sum. Every boy in the day-schools of the country can understand it. But our sublime Chan cellor of the Exchequer is a master only of abstruse equations. He stands bewildered in the presence of vulgar fractions, and profoundly declares an equa tion like as " two and two make four" to be a mere sent im en t.—Norfolk News. THE FRENCH - LeOI : rBLAtTiVE BODY. The following is the draught of the Addreslpre sented by the Legislative Body : "Sire,--The 'Legislative Body cannot exercise fur tha first time the new and important preroga tives- fOr which it is indebted to the initiative of your. Majesty. without applauding the far-seeing idea which inspired them, and without showing itself proud and grateful of the confidence which they testify. " These liberties develope the principles of the Constitution, by rendering its mechanism and its action applicable, in a prudently progressive man nor,• to the present state otsociety. " This Comstitution, founded in view of the diffi 7 culties which it had to surmount, and of the paci fication it was destined to produce, has prepared and rendered possible the developments which it is now receiving. We accept, with the resolution to employ it for the general welfare, the larger part which is given to our labours and to our responsibility. Public opinion,..witaessing our loyal efforts to make kiinwn the truth to the country as well as to yourself, will sanction more readily our decisions, and render more efficacious our devotedness to your person and your dynasty, for nothing can contribute to our popularity which does not add to your force. "Your Majesty, in calling on us to expose to you with sincerity our opinions and our sentiments, facilitates the expression of them by giving an nually a general account of the affairs of the country. " The situation of . France presents to us order everywhere maintained, the laws obeyed, religion honoured, arts and letters encouraged, instruction generally disseminated, and the populations, devot ed and confiding; and it is just to add that these benefits, the works of your wisdom and the fruits of your reign, have caused calm in public opinion and security in interests to succeed without tran sition the anxieties and tumults of our civil discords. "Sire, the Legislative body praises and shares your noble solicitude for the interests of agricul ture, of manufactures, and of commerce, which are at once the field in which national activity is displayed, and the source from which public pros perity is derived. "We zealously took part in the measures the object of which was to improve the condition of agriculture, whtch is the highest interest of France, by facilitating the sale of its productions, and lowering the price of the articles which it con sumes. "The prosperity of the agricultural populations is the most intelligent wish, of the manufacturing classes ; for a close solidarity unites all human labours, and mingles them together in a common destiny. " We entertain the hope that Vrench manufac tures will issue triumphantly from the trial they are about to undergo, but they can only do so on condition of being, able to obtain raw materials cheap, and conveyance at a low price. Accordingly our efforts shall second yours, sire, to hasten, the completion and improvement of the means of com munication. However, an indispensable element in agricultural, manufacturing, and commercial production is, confidence in the future; but that confidence cannot exist without a certain fixedness in Customs' legislation, Which may reassure inte rests and encourage enterprise. " Sire, we learn with satisfaction that the Bud get will be presented to us iu equilibrium, without there having been any necessity to have recourse to credit or to new taxes. "The resources of France are inexhaustible, like her activity and energy ; but your policy, prudently managing our finances, will assure reserves for the eventualities of the future, and we hope that cir cumstances will not arise of so imperative a charac ter as to cause extraordinary and supplementary credits to sensibly modify the provisions of the Budget. "For the maintenance and consolidation of all these things, sire, one superior condition is neces sary, and that is—Peace ! " Your Majesty faithfully expressed the unani mous and profound sentiment of France when you proclaimed that she sincerely desires peace. Under your reign, sire, France cannot be either provoca tive or apprehensive. " That attitude, however, neither interdicts nor embarrasses the free action of the country in the affairs in which its power and dignity may be en• gaged. "We hope that the new regime established in Algeria will respond equally to the need of security and to the exigencies of colonisation. " In Savoy and in the county of Nice you have attached to the Empire, pacifically and in virtue of a treaty ratified by the popular will, provinces for long time friendly, and now irrevocably French. " You yielded in that affair to the necessities of territorial defence, the natural consequence of the notable aggrandisement of a neighbouring State; and your policy, as firm as it is prudent, gave satis faction to France without encroaching on European law. " In Syria we have assumed the initiative of a humane enterprise, and we are accomplishing it in virtue of a European sanction ; we hope that the permission so given will be continued to us, that we may bc.i able to pursue our object., and that the holy and disinterested miss on which we have ac cepted will be fulfilled. " In China our soldiers, united to those of Great Britain, have cast new lustre on our arms; like the phalanxes of antiquity, they have, by the force of their organisation, struck to the heart the most ex tensive and most populous of empires. " May France and England, equally loyal in their intentions and equally sincere in their alliance, always march thus side by side for the defence of just causes and for the triumph of civilisation ! " Sire, the national and traditional interest which we take in the destinies of Italy has been increased by the energetic and glorious efforts which you have made at the head of our armies in favour of her deliverance. " The Legislative Body, sharing the respect you have shown for the wishes of the Italian people, approves the wise reserve which has maintained France on the ground of treaties, of the law of na tions, and of justice, and which, without diminish ing your sympathies for rising nations, has not per mitted you to associate your policy with acts which you disapproved. " Sire, the diplomatic documents and the last despatch of troops to Rome, at a critical conjuncture, have proved to the whole wdrld that your constant efforts have secured to the Papacy its safety and independence, and have protected its temporal sovereignty as far as possible, considering the force of things and the resistance opposed to wise coun sels. " In ro acting your Majesty has faithfully ful filled the duties of Eldest Son of the Church, and responded to the religious sentiment as well as the political traditions of France. " That grave question the Legislative Body leaves entirely to your wisdom, well persuaded that in the eventualities of the future your Majesty will be actuated by the same principles and the same sen timents, without being discouraged by the injustice which we deplore. "Sire, for nearly 10 years past, during which France has confided to you her destinies, obstacles and struggles have neither disconcerted your pru dence nor wearied your courage ; Providence has covered you with its aegis, and the country with its acclamations. " Persist, Sire, in that policy, alike prudent and resolute, liberal and firm, which under a strong Power shelters durable liberties, and has no other ambition than the glory and honour of the French ame. " Your 8011, under the influence of the labours and virtues which surround him, will grow in strength by your example. lie will also have learned, one day, to govern in a manner Nvorthy of a great nation, mistress of its own destinies, too just to be feared, too honest to be suspected, and too strong to be intimidated or led away."

Walker, K.C.8., hoisted his flag, blue, at the mizen; yesterday morning, on board the Narcissus, 51, screw, Capt. Risk, at Spithead, under the usual salutes from the frigate's guns, and also from those of the Victory, the flagship of the Commander•in-Chief, Vice-Admiral H. W. Bruce. The Narcissus, during her stay at Spithead, has received one of Sir W. Armstrong's 100-pounder guns for upper deck ser vice. Water was filled up from the Minx screw steam tank at Spithead yesterday, and the frigate will sail for Ascension and the Cape of Good Hope today, should the weather prove favourable. By directions of the Lords of the Admiralty some important experimental trials have been made during the past few days at Portsmouth with a cutter belonging to the steam tender Lucifer, fitted by a carpenter's mate belonging to her Majesty's ship St. Vincent, named Webb, on a plan of his own for freeing the boat from its falls by an in stantaneous action when lowered at sea for the saving of life, or any occasion when it may be im perative to unhook the falls at one and the same moment, and clear the boat from the ship. 'lle trials hitherto have been very successful, but as they are about to be resumed and more fully tested we reserve any further notice of them until their conclusion. The screw steamship Lion, 80, was towed yes terday from the Devonport Dockyard to her moor ings with the 2d division of the steam ordinary in Hamoaze. The screw steamship Gibraltar, 101, was lashed yesterday to the south jetty in the basin at Key. ham Yard, where steam was got up, and her machinery tried. The screw steam gunvessel Pantaloon, 11, was hauled yesterday alongside the jetty in Hamoaze to coal, prior to her being rigged and fitted for the first division of the steam ordinary. The screw steam troopship Himalaya, Captain John Seccombe, which has been some days in Plymouth Sound, destination unknown, is to be completed with coal and to have all temporary repairs made good. She is then to be sent out side the port for a short trial trip, under the in spection of the officers of the Devonport Dock yard and Keyham Steamyard. Her subsequent movements will be contingent on their report. The screw steam gunvessel Nimble, 5, Lieutenant D'Arcy, at Plymouth, is nearly manned. Her cabin fittings are completing. The Pigeon, 5, screw despatch gunvessel, which has been fitted at Chatham for the steam ordinary, is ordered to be attached to the second class steam reserve in the Medway. The fitting of her Majesty's iron-clad steamship Warrior in the Victoria Docks is progressing rapidly. Steam was yesterday got up to try her engines of 1,250 horse power, and Griffith's screw, weighing 35 tons, was afterwards applied. The screw steam sloop Rosario, launched at. Dept ford, was yesterday hauled out of basin at Wool wich, and went down the river on her trial trip. The paddlewheel steam sloop Driver, after a complete renovation at Woolwich, is now ready to enter the first-class steam ordinary, and is tho roughly ready to receive her crew. She is expected to be commissioned in a few days. Her Majesty's ship Marlborough, from the Medi terranean, shortly expected at Portsmouth to be paid off and recommissioned, will receive a portion of her crew from Woolwich ; 150 continuous service men and a batch of first and second class lads are now berthed on board the flagship Fisgard and the hulks, in readiness to proceed to Portsmouth on the arrival of the flagship from Malta, now on her passage. A new disconnecting apparatus, on the principle of Capt. Taylor, an officer commanding one of Mr. Green's East Indiamen, was yesterday received at Woolwich, to be submitted to a course of trials at full speed. Several additional works are ordered to be carried out for improving the fortifications at Dover. A new fort is to be constructed on the high ground near the Castle-farm, and overlooking the northern salient of the entire fortress, and other portions of the fortress are to be strengthened. Captain Russell, late of the Indian army, having effected some important improvements and altera tions in the present description of ambulance wag gon in use in the army, one of the improved waggons was yesterday exhibited to the authorities and heads of the Medical Department at Fort Pitt, Chatham, when a favourable opinion of the inven tion was expressed by the officers of the medical staff and others svho inspected it. Her Majesty's troopship Megoora, Commander Henderson, having coaled at the dockyard, yester day went down to.the Royal Arsenal pier, Wool wich, in readiness to embark the baggage and effects of the deta c hme n t b e l ong i ng to the D e p o t Royal Artillery, under orders to pi-we:fed- on Monday next for garrison duty to Sh ee - . .ness.

A great sensation, was produced yesterday in the cross-examination of a witness—Rose Fagan, by Mr:Whiteside. This woman was a servant in the Malahide Hotel, and she was produced to swear that Major Yelverton and Mrs. Yelverton occupied the same bedroom. The scene is thus d escr ib e d by the Freeman : And that lady who s p o k e t o y ou is Mrs. Yelver ton P—it is. Mr. Whiteside-=Now 'brig g that woman in.

The witness did look at her again steadily, • and after another pause repeated "I can't swear." Mr. Whiteside—You can't swear she is not the person who called on you ? Witness (evjdently breaking up fast in her mind on the point)—No. • Mr. Whiteside—She may be the person whom you told about the lock of hair? The witness looked again at the young woman, and then at Mr. Whiteside, and then again at the young woman, and after gazing at the latter for some time that "-she might be." [lt would he impossible to give any adequate idea of the scene which was presented in court when this young woman was confronted with the witness. The court was hushed in expectation as Mr. White side triumphantly called for the production of the party ; and when the witness and she were placed face to face with each other, every eye was fixed on them. Mr. Whiteside, who had poured his ques tions on this point in quick succession, and with that vehemence and vigour for which he is cele brated, threw himself back, and - gazed at the wit ness as he paused for her reply. The witness, pressed by his questions, hesitated, wavered, doubted, and at length admitted, as above stated, , that the young woman now quietly looking at her might be the person who had visited her as she had detailed. .Then a buzz went through the court as everybody remarked to everybody else how singular it was •, and, in truth, a more - exciting scene has rarely been witnessed a court of justice.]" The Freeman's Journal, in . reporting Thursday's proceedings, says the court - and all the avenues lead ing thereto were, as on previous days, crowded to excess long before the proceedings commenced. In consequence of the peculiar nature of the cross-exa mination of the:defendant on the previous day, no ladies were presenton this occasion, even those who are the immediate friends of Mrs. Yelverton, and had been excepted from the order of his lordship. The audience included a large number of respectable persons who were admitted on tickets issued by Mr. Monahan ; and there were also present during the proceeding the Earl of Howth, Lord Win. Butler„ and Lord Monck. At the close of the day's proceedings, some dis cussion took place, and it was understood that the evidence for the defence would close in the course of yesterday, and that Sergeant Armstrong would ad dress the jury for the defendant. There will be a rebutting case, which it is believed will be short. Mr. Whiteside, Q,C., is expected to address the jury on Saturday, and an effort will be made, if possible, to finish the case on Saturday night. During the entire day a large crowd blocked up the entrance to the court, which was defended by strong barriers in charge of the police. By evening the multitude in the-hall was so great as to fill it almost entirely, and when swelled still further by the outpour from the court, presented a scene of a most unusual cha racter: Loud cheers were given when the learned advocates of Mrs. Yelverton appeared, and in their progress across the hall they received a perfect ovation, especially Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., and Ser geant Sullivan. The carriage which was occupied by Mrs. Yel verton and her friends, as it drove up Sackville street in the evening from the courts, was followed by hundreds of persons, who cheered loudly as she proceeded to the Gresham Hotel. A large crowd collected around' the principal entrance, and as sho alighted she was received by all present with every 1- mark of respect. Fuel; 4D .

There are some small annuities and legacies left by the testator to his brothers, sisters, and other relatives arid friends; and Mr. Russell has left to his clerk, Mr. Wallace, an annuity of £lOO.

THE YELVERTOIV. MARRIAGE CASE. . . A telegram which we published yesterday gave our readers the substance of the proceedings in this extraordinary case on Thursday, and we therefore now only give in extenso one or two passages in the course of that day's cross-examination of Major Yelverton. Sergeant Sullivan, referring to the performance of the ceremony in Ireland, said—Had you any respect for that chapel in which that ceremony was performed as a house of God? I had, sir.—And for the minister as a minister of His religion ? Yes, sir. —You went to that altar ? Yes.—The priest was inside? Yes.—You and Theresa Longworth knelt down side by side ? Yes.—Did you at that altar take her to be your wedded wife ? I did,—Did she take you for her wedded. hug hand ? Yes.—Did you take her for better and for worse? I don't recollect these words.—Did you repeat the words after the priest ? We did.—What did you say ? " I, William Charles, take thee, Marie Theresa, to be my wedded wife."—What else ? I can't recollect.—Listen " I take thee Marie Theresa, to have and to hold from,this day forward, for better and for worse, for richer and poorer, in sickness and in health, till death us do part, if Holy Church will permit, and thereto I plight thee my troth." On the virtue of your oath, did you not say these words at the altar? I can't recollect all these words were used.—But the substance of them was ? Well, the worst part of them was, at any rate.—You did that kneeling at the altar ? You are acquainted with the service of the Protestant Church ? I am.—Will you tell me the difference between the marriage services of the Roman Catholic and Protestant Churches; do you know it ? I could not repeat the Protestant service word for word. [Counsel here read the essential portion of the Church of England mar riage service, similar to that of the Roman Catholic Church.]—Did you mean those words to be a mockery ? I meant to sustain and protect.—Answer me, sir, did you mean it to be a mockery ? No. — Did you mean to fulfil the obligation that you then contracted ? Yes ' • subject to the explanation. —Did you take her hands ? I took one of her hands.—Did you put the ring on her finger ? I touched the ring.—Was that a mockery ? Not altogether.—Was that ring out of her posses sion after you gave it to her at INlalallide until you went to Rostrevor ? I think not to the best of my recollection.—Will you swear it ? I cannot go farther conscientiously. (Suppressed laughter.) Did you ever state to any one that some kind of a marriage had taken place between you and Theresa Longworth in Scotland ? I have no recollection. — Is that entry in the book, " Mr. and Mrs. Yeiver ton," written as your wife ? Yes, but if I were not practising some disguise I would have written " Major and Mrs. Yelverton."—ls" Major and Mrs. Yelverton" a proper description of yourself and your wife ? Well, I might have prefixed " Honour able." (Laughter.) Sergeant Sullivan—We will sink the Honour able. Have you been round all those places in Ire land you have just stated since autumn, 1858 ? I went round with Mr. Dwyer, my solicitor, for the purpose I have before stated.—l)id you hear of any one else going since? I believe some one has been round.—Did you hear of anyone going round with a lock of hair ? I had a lock of hair myself. (Sensation.)—Was it a lock of Theresa Longworth's hair ? No.—Where did you get it ? I cut it off a child's head.—What child ? The child of my brother-in-law, Major Hawes. (Sensation.)—Did you see Rose Fagan ? I saw a person of that name, but should not know her now.—Did you produce the hair to her? I think so—if we used it.—There was a piece of gown too, whose was it ? Miss Longworth left it behind her at Thomastown.— What did you do with the lock of hair and the gown ? I can't recollect, sir ?—Did you Journey with them from Waterford to ltestrevor ? I think so.—Did you see Bridget Cole? By the virtue of your oath, where is that lock of hair I cannot say, unless Mr. Dwyer has it amongst his notes, taken at the time.—Who did you see at Water ford ? The people at the hotel.—Are they here ? I don't know.—Did you read Mr. Goodliffe's evidence ? Yes.—You introduced her as your wife to him ? I introduced her as my wife —subject to the explanation—l made no special allusion to the word wife ; it ,was all her own arrangement.—Can you tell me what is the duty a mistress owes her keeper ? To be honest and true to him.—What is the duty a wife owes her husband? Very much the same, only there are additional duties for a wife, I think.—What are they ?. Obeying is one—loving, honouring, and obeying.—Which you swore to do to Miss Long worth ? This is not an ordinary case of a mistress kept by a man ; I don't pretend that ; in taking each other in that way, we thought we were performing a conscience - saving ceremony that would be binding upon our consciences, and at that time I intended to fulfil it ; she undertook never to violate the secret without my permission.—Listen to me ; did you regard her as your wife? No, sir, not in law.—Did you regerd her as your mistress ? Well, as my mis tress, with the qualification that it was not an ordi nary case of mistress and man. I did not intend to desert her when I left her at Bordeaux. The inten tion was formed afterwards. My marriage with Mrs. Forbes was on the 26th June, 1858.—When you came back to Edinburgh you formed the idea of deserting her for the first time ? I think so, although I nursed her as carefully as possible dur ing that illness. Still I think there were some things she was not content with—not being openly acknowledged.—ln about two months after you had another marriage ceremony in Scotland? About two months and a half.—Did you on the 26th April write to Madame Andre, asking her about Mrs. Yelverton ? You have the date, sir.—You wrote on the 29th asking for a few lines that you could show, and begging her to speak of Mrs. Yelverton as your relation only ? Yes, I was alarmed at not hearing of her.—On the 12th May, 1858, you write, " Semper penso a te, carissima mia." What does that mean ? " I always think of thee, dearest." (Sensation.) And on 26th June following you married another. Did you ever say that you would tell your mother of your marriage as a secret? I did not.—Was there ever any talk about it ? She may have spoken to me or written to me about it. She stated falsely in her letter that the keeping of our marriage secret was the only sacrifice she could not willingly make for me ; there was no sacrifice she was not to make. — On what day had you arranged for the ceremony that took place on the 26th June? I think about 7 the middle of June.—When were you accepted In May.—What time in May ? The latitveerrt aten of on May.—Did :you conceal from Mrs. Ye n L o e t it t h el t l li h a e t r y t o h u at w l e w re a g s going to w a b r e ri m_ ed ar o r n ie t d h P e 26 I th di t d o one eds dhshould yl forbidden aapr: ya.nothbearnlandsy?.

I was sued for goods supplied to myself—l was desired to pay it by my counsel, they undertaking to put in a saving notice. I was advised that it was cheaper to pay than to allow the marriage questiont k o no b l : tried.—Did you know that the d ebt was y our w ife's?

I believe so.—And you paid the money ? By advice.—Under protest Yes. Sergeant Armstrong—Did you use the bath-room at Malahide ? Yes ; I used it as a dressing-room. The Belfast Morning News says :—"lt is quite true that Major Yelverton contracted his second marriage with the widow of Professor Forbes, and it is equally true that he considered he was obtaining a magnificent fortune ! But by the Professor Mrs. Forbes had two children, and all the property he died possessed of was settled on them, with a moderate jointure to his widow. Under ordinary circumstances public sympathy would be deeply excited on behalf of Mrs. Forbes, but we have good reason to believe that before her marriage with Major Yelverton she was warned, but she accepted, we suppose, what ever explanation he gave, and committed her fate to him.' DUBLIN, FRIDAY. The case for the defendant closed to-day, after which Mr. Whiteside, for the plaintiff, examined a few witnesses. Sergeant Armstrong then commenced his address to the jury for the defence, and had not concluded at the rising of the court. He will resume to morrow, and will be followed by Mr. Whiteside for the plaintiff. It is understood the Chief Justice will sum up on Monday. The greater number of the witnesses exa mined to day were persons connected with the different hotels at which Major and Mrs. Yelverton stopped when in Ireland in 1857, immediately be fore the Irish marriage ceremony. Their evi dence went to show that Major and Mrs. Yelver ton had three rooms at each of the hotels where they stopped—viz-, a sitting loom, dressing and bed room. On cross-examination it was elicited that there was a bed in the so-called dressing room, but witnesses could not swear whether it was made use of for Major and Mrs. Yelverton. Bridget Cole, who was housemaid at Sanxter's Hotel, in Rostrevor, in 1857, still recollected Major and Mrs. Yelverton being there in that year. She stated that she saw the same lady last June near the quay of Rostrevor, and on asking her if she was Mrs. Yelverton she replied yes, and entered into conversation with her, offering her a situation if she would go to Louden. After some farther exa mination, .a lady, who bore a striking resemblance to Mrs. Yelverton, was brought into court and confronted with the witness, who immediately on seeing her said she was the lady who was at the hotel in Rostrevor in 1857, an d whom she after wards met as stated. Mr. Geo. Patterson, an advocate of the ith Scotch bar of 26 years' standing, rettion of the Scotch spect to the improper inter p a was ermined w re f cases a being e t d b in which e h r l i c o h r decisions of a i r a r itabgee ,House r several cour ts were read by, plaintiff's counsel f which were at variance 'with opinions expressed by the witness. Miss Emma Firdland Crabb was examined by Mr. Whiteside for the plaintiff, and stated that she had been in the employ of Mrs. Yelverton as cora ' panion. It was she who visited Rose Fagan and Bridget Cole, but' he denied having offered them any situations or employment in Scotland. - - COMMITTAL FOR EMBEZZLEMENT. -- Yesterday Richard Corrie Bache was fully committed for trial by aobrohuatv£7 embezzled various ,000, the property of gums Alder of f a n n l o C n a e r y d , e n an o lo n u a nt e i h n a g r charge Mrs. Elizabeth Tun, his employer.
