I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 7d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 168. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab_ cont ribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular.

"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this little work, in which is described the source of those diseases which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27, 1856.

(From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. APRIL 30. Nothing I could say can be worth one fact which has forced itself upon my mind in reference to the sentiments which prevail among the gentlemen of this State. I have been among them for several days. I have visited their plantations, I have con versed with them freely and fully, and I have en joyed that frank, courteous, and graceful inter course which constitutes an irresistible charm of their society. From all quarters has come to my ears the echoes of the same voice ; it may be feigned, but there is no discord in the note, and it sounds in wonderful strength and monotony all over the country. Shades of George 111., of North, of John son, of all who contended against the great rebel lion which tore these colonies from England, can you hear the chorus which rings through the State of Marion, Sumter, and Pinckney, and not clap your ghostly hands in triumph ? That voice says, "If we could only get one of the Royal race of England to rule over us we should be content." Let there be no misconception on this point. That sentiment, varied in a hundred ways, has been repeated to me over and over again. There is a general admission that the means to such an end are wanting, and that the desire cannot be gratified. But the admiration for monarchical institutions on the English model, for privileged classes, and for a landed aristocracy and gentry, is undisguised and apparently genuine. With the pride of having achieved their independence is mingled in the South Carolinians' hearts a strange regret at the result and consequences, and many are they who " would go back to-morrow if we could." An intense affection for the British connexion, a love of British habits and customs, a respect for British sentiment, law, authority, order, civilization, and literature pre eminently distinguish the inhabitants of this State, who, glorying in their descent from ancient fami lies on the three islands, whose fortunes they still follow, and with whose members they maintain not unfrequently familiar relations, regard with an aversion of which it is impossible to give an idea to one who has not seen its manifestations the people of New England and the populations of the Northern States, whom they regard as tainted beyond cure by the venom of " Puritanism." Whatever may be the cause, this is the fact and the effect. " The State of South Carolina was," I am toad, " founded by gen tlemen." It was not established by witch-burning Puritans, by cruel persecuting fanatics, who im planted in the north the standard of Torquemada, and breathed into the nostrils of their newly-born colonies all ,the ferocity, bloodthirstiness, and rabid intolerance of the Inquisition. It is absolutely astounding to a stranger who aims at the preserva tion of a decent neutrality to mark the violence of these opinions. "If that confounded ship had sunk with those Pilgrim Fathers on board," says one. " we never should have been driven to these extre mities !" "We could have got on with the fanatics if they had bean either Christians or gentlemen," says another ; " for in the first case they would have acted with common charity, and in the second they would have fought when they insulted us ; but there are neither Christians nor gentlemen among them !" " Anything on the earth !" exclaims a third, "any form of Govern ment, any tyranny or despotism you will ; but"—and here is an appeal more terrible than the adjuration of all the Gods—" nothing on earth shall ever induce us to submit to any union with the brutal, bigotted blackguards of the New England States, who neither comprehend nor regard the feelings of gentlemen ! Man, woman, and child, we'll die first." Imagine these and an infinite variety of similar sentiments uttered by courtly, well-educated men, who set great store on a nice observance of the usages of society, and who are only moved to extreme bitterness and anger when they speak of the North, and you will fail to conceive the intensity of the dislike of the South Carolinians for the Free States. There are national antipathies on our side of the Atlantic which are tolerably strong and have been unfortunately per tinacious and long-lived. The hatred of the Italian for the Tedesco, of the Greek for the Turk, of the Turk for the Russ, is warm and fierce enough to satisfy the Prince of Darkness, not to speak of a few little pet aversions among allied Powers and the atoms of composite empires ; but they are all mere indifference and neutrality of feeling compared to the animosity evinced by the " gentry" of South Carolina for the rabble of the North." The contests of Cavalier and Roundhead, of \Ten dean and Republican, even of Orangeman and Croppy, have been elegant joustings, regulated by the finest rules of chivalry, compared with those which North and South will carry on if their deeds support their words. " Immortal hate, the study of revenge" will actuate every blow, and never in the history of the world, perhaps, will go forth such a dreadful vce victis as that which may be heard before the fight has begun. There is nothing in all the dark caves of human passion so cruel and deadly as the hatred the South Carolinians profess for the Yankees. That hatred has been swelling for years till it is the very life blood of the State. It has set South Caro lina to work steadily to organise her resources for the struggle which she intended to provoke if it did not come in the course of time. " Incompatibility of temper" would have been sufficient ground for the divorce, and I am satisfied that there has been a deep-rooted design, conceived in some men's minds 30 years ago, and extended gradually year after year to others', to break away from the Union at the very first opportunity. The North is to South Caro lina a corrupt and evil thing, to which for long years she has been bound by burning chains, while monopolists and manufacturers fed on her tender limbs. She has been bound in a Maxentian union to the object she loathes. New England is to her the incarnation of moral and political wickedness and social corruption. It is the source of everything which South Carolina hates, and of the torrents of free thought and taxed manufactures, of Abolition ism and of Filibustering, which have flooded the land. Believe a Southern man as he believes him- self, and you must regard New England and the kindred States as the birthplace of im- purity of mind among men and of unchastity in women—the home of Free Love, of Fourierism, of infidelity, of Abolitionism, of false teachings in political economy and in social life ; a land satu rated with the drippings of rotten philosophy, with the poisonous infections of a fanatic press ; without honour or modesty : whose wisdom is paltry cun ning, whose valour and manhood have been swal lowed up in a corrupt, howling demagogy, and in the marts of a dishonest commerce. It is the mer- chants of New York who fit out ships for the slave trade, and carry it on in Yankee ships. It is the capi tal of the North which supports, and it is Northern men who concoct and execute, the Filibustering expeditions which have brought discredit on the e n s e . ran l t n an th d e ig l n ar o g ra e n c t it i i e e e s tu p r e e o r p s Le the country by an un p r i n cipled Sl a ve-hold t i n i e lf abny S d t i a itn t i are ippret sh c s o e. r trTouhe populati spv ons, indeed, know how to read and write, but they don't know how to think, and they are the easy victims 0 the wretched impostors " Who fills the butchers' shops with large blue flies ?" Assuredly the New England demon who has been persecuting the South till its intolerable cruelty and insolence forced her, in a spasm of agony, to rend her chains asunder. The New Eng lander must have something to persecute, and as he has hunted down all his Indians, burnt all his witches, and persecuted all his opponents to the death, he invented Abolitionism as the sole resource left to him for the gratification of his favourite pas sion. Next to this motive principle is his desire to make money dishonestly, trickily, meanly, and shabbily. He has acted on it in all his relations with the South, and has cheated and plundered her in all his dealings by villanous tariffs. If one ob jects that the South must have been a party to this, because her boast is that her statesmen have ruled the Government, of the country, you are told that the South yielded out of pure good-nature. Now, however, she will have free trade, and will open the coasting trade to foreign nations, and shut out from it the Lated Yankees, Rho so long monopolised and made their fortunes by it. Under all the varied burdens and miseries to which she was subjected, the South held fast to her sheet anchor. South Carolina was the mooring ground in which it found the surest hold. The doctrine of State Rights was her salvation, and the fiercer the storm raged against her—the more stoutly demagogy, immigrant preponderance, and the blasts of universal suffrage bore down on her, threatening to sweep away the vested interests of the South in her right to govern the States—the greater was her confidence and the more resolutely she held on her cable. The North attracted " hordes of ignorant Germans and Irish," and the scum of Europe, while the South repelled them. The industry, the capital of the North in creased with enormous rapidity, under the influence of cheap labour and manufacturing ingenuity and enterprise, in the villages which swelled into towns, and the towns which became cities, under the unen vious eye of the South. She, on the contrary, toiled on slowly, clearing forests and draining swamps to find new cotton-grounds and rice-fields for the em ployment of her only industry and for the develop ment of her only capital—" involuntary labour." The tide of immigration waxed stronger, and by degrees she saw the districts into which she claimed the right to introduce that eapi , and occupied by tal closed against her. free labour. The doctrine of squatter " sove reignty," and the force ofhostile tariffs, which placed a heavy duty on the very articles which the South most required, completed the measure of injuries to which she was subjected, and the spirit of discon tent found vent in fitly debate, in personal insults, and in acrimonious speaking and writing, which increased in intensity in proportion as the Abolition movement, and the contest between the Federal principle and State Rights, became more vehement. I am desirous of shoving in a few w or d s , f o r the information of English readers, how it is that the Confederacy which Europe knew simply as a political entity has succeeded in dividing itself. The Slave States held the doctrine, or say they did, that each State was independent as France or ag England, but that for certain purposes they chose a common agent to deal with foreign nations, and to impose taxes for the purpose of paying the ex penses of the agency. We, it appears, talked of American citizens when there were no such beings at all. There were, indeed, citizens of the sove reign State of South Carolina, or of Georgia, or Florida, who permitted themselves to pass under that designation, but it wqs merely as a matter of personal convenience. It will be difficult for Euro peans to understand this doctrine, as nothing like it has been heard before, and no such Confederation of sovereign States has ever existed in any country in the world. The Northern men deny that it existed here, and claim for the Federal Government powers not compatible with such assumptions. 2/wy have lived for the Union, they served it, they laboured for and made money by it. A man as a New York man was nothing—as an American citizen he was a great deal. A South Carolinian objected to lose his identity in any description which included him and a « Yankee clocktnaker" in the same category. The Union was against him ; he remembered that he came from a race of English gentlemen who had been persecuted by the representatives—for he will not call them the ancestors—of the Puritans of New England, and he thought that they were animated by the same hostility to himself. He w as proud of old names, and he felt pleasure ' in tracing his connexion with old families in the old country. His plantations were held by old charters, or had been in the hands of his fathers for several generations ; and he delighted to remem ber that, when the Stuarts were banished from their throne' and their country, the burgesses of South Carolina had solemnly elected the wandering Charles King of their State, and had offered him eri ed may his fortunesexercise an asylum and a ki ng d om.

In the old rebellion it was distracted between revolutionary principles and the loyalist predilections, and at least one-half of the planters were faithful to George 111., nor did they yield till Washington sent an army to support their antagonists and drove them from the colony. In my next letter I shall give a brief account of a visit to some of the planters, as far as it can be made consistent with the obligations which the rites and rights of hospitality impose on the guest as well as upon the host. These gentlemen are well-bred, courteous, and hospitable. A genuine aristocracy, they have time to cultivate their minds, to apply themselves to politics and the guidance of public affairs. They travel and read, love field sports, racing, shooting, hunting, and fishing, are bold horsemen, and good shots. But, after all, their State is a modern Sparta—an aristocracy resting on a helotry, and with nothing else to rest upon. Al though t hey profess (and I believe, indeed, sincerely) to hold opinions in opposition to the opening of the slave trade, it is nevertheless true that the cause in the constitution of the Confederate States which pro hibited the importation of negroes was especially and energetically resisted by them, because, as they say, it seemed to be an admission that slavery was in itself an evil and a wrong. Their whole system rests on slavery, and as such they defend it. They en tertain very exaggerated ideas of the military it e s era m rnu military spirit. although one spirit.

Be that true or not, it is certain that Uncle Sam" has built strong places for his enemies to occupy. To-day I visited Fort Pulaski, which defends the mouth of the S avannah r i ver an d t h e approaches to the city. It was left to the care of itself, and the Georgians quietly stepped into it, and have been busied in completin g its defences, so that it is now capable of stopping a, feet very effeetwi ) ly. the Peiho Forts, where the gallant American showed the world that " blood was thicker than water ;" Brigadier-General Lawton, in command of the forces of Georgia, and a number of naval and military officers, of whom many had be longed to the United States' regular services. It was strange to look at such a man as the Com modore, who for 49 long years had served under the Stars and Stripes, quietly preparing to meet his old comrades and friends, if needs be, in the battle field—his allegiance to the country and to the flag renounced, his long service flung away, his old ties and connexions severed—and all this in defence of the sacred right of rebellion on the part of "his State." He is not now, nor has he been for years, a slaveowner ; all his family and familiar associations connect him with the North. There are no naval stations on the Southern coasts except one at Pensacola, and he knows almost no one in the South. He has no fortune whatever, his fleet con sists of two small river or coasting steamers, with out guns, and as he said, in talking over the re sources of the South, " My bones will be bleached many a long year before the Confederate Statescan hope to have a navy." " State Rights !" To us the question is simply inexplicable or absurd. And yet thousands of Americans sacrifice all for it. The river at Savannah is broad as the Thames at Graves end, and resembles that stream very much in the colour of its waters and the level nature of its shores. Ricefields bound it on either side, as far down as the influence of the fresh water extends, and the eye wanders over a flat expanse of mud and water and green osiers and rushes, till its search is arrested on the horizon by the unfailing line of forest. In the fields here and there are the white washed square wooden huts in which the slaves dwell, looking very like the beginnings of the camp in the Crimea. At one point a small fort, covering a creek, by which gunboats could get up behind Savannah, displayed its " garrison" on the walls, and lowered its flag to salute the small blue ensign at the fore which proclaimed the presence of the Commo dore of the Naval Forces of Georgia on board our steamer. The guns on the parapet were mostly fieldpieces, mounted on frameworks of wood instead of regular carriages. There is no mistake about the spirit of these people. They seize upon every spot of vantage ground and prepare it for defence. There were very few ships in the river ; the yacht Camilla, better known as the America, the property of Capt. Deasy, and several others of those few sailing under British colours, for most of the cotton ships are gone. After steaming down '.he river about 12 miles the sea opened out to the sight, and on a long marshy narrow island near the bar, which was marked by the yellowish surf, Fort Pulaski threw out the Con federate flag to the air of the Georgian Ist of May. The water was too shallow to permit the steamer to go up to the jetty, and the party landed at the wharf in boats. A guard was on duty at the landing —tall, stout young fellows, in various uniforms, or in rude mufti, in which the Garibaldian red shirt and felt slouched hats predominated. They were armed with smooth-bore muskets (date 1851), quite new, and their bayonets, barrels, and locks were bright and clean. The officer on duty was dressed in the blue frockcoat dear to the British Linesman in days gone by, with brass buttons, emblazoned with the arms of the State, a red silk sash, and glazed kepi, and straw-coloured gauntlets. Several wooden huts, with flower gardens in front, were occupied by the officers of the garrison ; others were used as hospitals, and were full of men from measles of a mild type. A few minutes' walk led us to the fort, which is an irregular pentagon, with the base line or curtain face inlanch, and the other faces casemated and bearing on the approaches. The curtain, which is simply crenellated, is covered by a Redan surrounded by a deep ditch, inside the parapet of which are granite platforms ready for the reception of guns. The parapet is thick, and the scarp and counter-scarp are faced with solid masonry. A drawbridge affords access to the inte rior of the Redan, whence the gate of the fortes approached across a deep and broad moat, which is crossed by another drawbridge. As the Commodore entered the Redan the guns of the fort broke out into a long salute, and the band at the gate struck up almost as noisy a welcome. Inside, the parade oetgfned a caoemutomsfteuhtenhe the casemates, and provisions, others were at c a i f ty lif w e e an h d ad an le r f m t. at m ion en ve w r e y re un b l u ik sy e cc p the e aks s scene of rolling away stores and workrse presented at the gin and shears, others building sand bag traverses to guard the magazine doors, as though expecting an immediate attack. Many officers were strolling under the shade of the open gallery at the side of the curtain which contained their quarters in the lofty bomb proof casemates. Some of them had seen service in Mexican or border warfare; some had travelled over Italian and Cri mean battle fields; others were West Point graduates of the regular army; others young planters, clerks, or civilians who had rushed with ardour into the First Georgian Regiment.' The garrison of the fort is 650 men, and fully that number were in and about the work, their tents being pitched inside the Redan or on .he terreplein of the parapets. The walls are exceed- ingly solid and well built of hard gray brick, strong as iron, upwards of six feet in thickness, the case mates and bombproofs being lofty, airy, and capa cious as any I have ever seen, though there is not quite depth enough between the walls at the salient and the gun-carriages. The work is intended for 128 gnus, of which about, one-fourth are mounted on the casemates. They are long 32's with a few 42's and columbiads. The armaments will be exceedingly heavy when all the guns are mounted, and they are fast getting the 10-inch columbiads into position en barbette. Everything which could be required, except mortars, was in abundance—the platforms and gun-carriages are solid and well made, the em brasures of the casemates are admirably constructed, and the:ventilation of the bombproof carefully pro vided for. There are three furnaces for heating red hot shot. Nor is discipline neglected, and the offi cers with whom I went round the works were as sharp in tone and manner to their men as volun teers well could be, though the latter often are en listed for only three years by the State of Georgia. An excellent lunch was spread in the casemated bombproof which served as the colonel's quarter, and before sunset the party were steaming towards Savannah through a tideway full of leaping stur geon and porpoises, leaving the garrison intent on the approach of a large ship, which had her sails aback off the bar and hoisted the Stars and Stripes, but which turned out to be nothing more formidable than a Liverpool cotton ship. It will take some hard blows before Georgia is driven to let go her grip of Fort Pulaski. The channel is very narrow and passes close to the guns of the fort. The means of completing the armament have been furnished by the stores of Norfolk Navy-yard, where between 700 and 800 guns have fallen into the hands of the Confederates; and, if there are no columbiads among them, the Merrimac and other ships, which have been raised, as we hear, with guns uninjured, will yield up their Dahlgrens to turn their muzzles against their old masters. MAY 2. May-day was so well kept yesterday that the exhausted editors cannot bring out" their papers, and consequently there is no news; but there is nevertheless much to be said concerning " Our President's" Message, and there is a suddenness of admiration for pacific tendencies which can with difficulty be accounted for, unless the news from the North these last few days has something to do with it. Not a word now about an instant mar?h on Washington, no more threats to seize on Faneutl- .?" • THE PAPER DUTIES. Favoured by that complex system which allows near twenty discussions of any point in the progress of la money bill, the house is once more on the paper duty. We certainly had hoped to hear no more about it, and will confess to a degree of weariness in a controversy which has been now decided, and which can hardly fail to abide by that decision. But why is it that the controversy does return, not only with pertinacity, but with a positive increase of vigour? The paper duty has nine lives, and each life is fiercer than the last. There is evidently a weak point as well as a strong point in the demand for the repeal. The strong point is that an agreement has been come to between certain high contracting Powers. It is understood among men who have great influence upon this and other questions that the duty is to be repealed, and on the strength of this good understandirig the Government can reckon on much valuable support. There prevails a comfortable assurance that the bargain will stand, and some very important re sults have been already discounted. We have ever been accustomed to believe in these bargains, and in this instance we no more expect that the paper duty will be retained than that we shall ever see again the duty on cotton and wool, or the excise on glass and bricks. But what is the weak point of this measure? It is that it cannot even pretend to be a popular proceeding. There is absolutely no such thing as a cry, or a cause, or even a public opinion in favour of the measure. There has been nothing to indicate that a single labourer, or artisan, or shopman cares a straw about the repeal of the duty one way or the other. The agitation is confined to Parliament. street ; if you go southward into Lambeth, or north ward into the populous quarters of Broadway and Tothill-fields, you will find no more known about it than about the politics of the moon. The measure may be a very good one all the same. The French Emperor does some very grand things, but then he does them without public pressure, and sometimes without public fore-knowledge. If the House of Commons passes this measure, it will be acting im perially rather than as representing the people. When, then, it is asked, " What have the Lords to do with the question ?" it should be remembered that even the people have as little to do with the question. This is the reason why the controversy refuses to be laid, and haunts the house like a trouble some ghost. It owes its vitality not to the privilege question, not to its own intrinsic merits, but to the fact that the people care nothing about the matter. We have heard a good deal about Privilege in the course of the controversy. It has been supposed to endanger the constitution, and at one time to set the Lords over our heads, at another time to trample them under our feet. We have had, too, so many statistics and ingenious calculations, that we are not permitted to eat, drink, or sleep, to walk, ride, or talk, or do anything without feeling therein the re mission of the paper duty. It is made out to bring us more easily into the world, to send us more cheaply to our graves, and convey our souls more certainly and expeditiously to heaven. There is only one thing that has never been pretended for a moment, and nobody would have the face to pretend it, and that is that the people care about it, or are at all nterested in it. Mr. M. Milnes, indeed, intimates that it will cheapen bandboxes, and that in this re spect it becomes a relief to the million. We will frankly confess that, not having got up the subject of bandboxes, we are not prepared to give a flat contradiction to the statement ; but, if we may be allowed to forma conjecture from the habits of la bourers within our knowledge, and from the inte riors of cottages with which we are acquainted, bandboxes may be cheapened as much as a penny a dozen without greatly improving the condition of the poor. The controversy, strange to say, rather gains in amusement what it loses in gravity. The civilised world will be edified to observe that the greatest Senate under the sun has been engaged two years in the question whether paper should be taxed; but the discussion as it narrows sets free the fancy and loosens the tongue, so that it is scarcely possible to say what speculation will next be engrafted upon it. Indeed, we seem to have found something akin to an inconvertible paper currency, in the shape of a paper controversy reducible to no test, bound to no conclusion, and incapable of a settlement. It is all paper. This cannot be a wholesome phase of the national mind. Surely the question of £1,300,000 to be raised in one form or another is not so very important ? To the public we are inclined to think :that it is really a matter of no importance at all. So let it be decided, as it has been, on purely political grounds. There is a considerable body of gentlemen interested in it, so let them have what they want, especially as it has been promised, and steps have been taken accordingly. If anything p revents the intended Lord breach of m i s er s s at promise iodn, It ty he is threatened curious defection in consequence of the r ii w wwnn e ehh l e a e a d b : pr e a , , awal of the grant from the Galway Packet esctwauhflaeei that r ra f l o r y rn l o e m anno a susceptible n ta o cs t tu h iro e en r t for p h a a quarter . r t Company. This promises a curious variety of the question, and if the cheap newspapers and the Atlantic Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company could be shut up in a cage to fight till they had finished this controversy, we might hope for the same finite and highly simplified result as in a well known incident. But we don't see how this is to be done, unless it is accomplished in the shape of a very attenuated majority next Thursday. Any how we hope and trust that will be the very last day of this paper war, and from that day forward every Englishman will not only have in his house a cheay Bible, but also a penny newspaper, a Cocker's Arithmetic, a Miscellany, a novel in weekly parts, and a bandbox duty free.—Times. THE FLINTSHIRE ELECTION.--The nomination of the candidates for the representation of Flintahire, ren dered vacant by the death of the late member, the Hon. E. M. Lloyd Mostyn, took place at Flint on Saturday. There was a large attendance of freeholders and gentlemen connected with the county. The show of hands was at least three to one in favour of Lord Richard Grosve nor, and a poll having been demanded on the part of Mr. Hughes, the high sheriff fixed the polling for Tuesday next, and the declaration for Thursday. .._. ide of Photographs arc simply the effect of light on tou , 7 .,,i anti silver.

Mr. Hawkins, in stating the case, said that the plaintiff, Frances Elizabeth Baker, was a young woman living at Luton, in Bedfordshire, and she claimed damages from the defendant, Charles Cartwright, who had been in very respect able services, and had by industry, perseverance, sobriety, and prudent habits saved a very consider able sum of money. He was now in the service of Mr. ltemill3-, of Wilton-street, Piccadilly, as butler, but he had previously been in the service of a lady who had died, and had left him a very consider able amount. He had some friends named Pilgrim, who lived at Pepperstock, near Luton, and he visited them in the autumn of 1859, and was taken by them to see the straw plait manufactory at Luton. The plaintiff was one of four sisters, the daughter of a widow, and she was employed in the straw plait business. The defendant saw her at work, and was much smitten with her; he paid her considerable attention, he called upon her mother, and Wellt out with the plaintiff once or twice. This was during his short visit to the country, and after his return to town he eon_ stantly corresponded with the plaintiff. So mat ' ters went on until July, 1860, but on the 26th of that month she received the following : "My dear Fanny,---T received yours ; thanks for th e kindness it expresses. You will be surprised when yen read the following, but don't judge me harshly. Plans are altered, and I shall not be able to have the pleasure of see ing you here. lam very sorry the time was so near. No whim of mine has caused the change, but it cannot be helped now. I feel the disappointment most keenly. Itly regards to your friends,—l am very affectionately, " CIURLE :' This letter having been replied to produced the following:— " August 1, 1860. "Dear Fanny,-1 received yours; thanks for so kind a letter. It was more than I could expect. With sincere regret I beg to inform you that our correspondence must be at an end. From circumstances which came to my knowledge just before my last, I think it far better that it should be so for us both. I assure you I w r it e t hi s a f ter mature thought, and I sincerely wish you a happy future. I again repeat that I am very sorry to have caused you disappointment, and I sliculd never have thought of writ ing you this without sufficient reason.—Believe me to haw k been very sincerely yours, " CIIAS.CARTWRIGHT." The learned counsel, in continuation, said that in the early part of 1859 the plaintiff had been affected in her intellect, but this was from physical causes alone, and the jury well knew how some women were affected at certain periods of their lives. In £l. different position in life somebody would, under such circumstances, have been appointed to look after her, and in her own case it was thought that the best thing was for her to go to Bedford Asylum, where she remained for four months, and was then. discharged perfectly cured, and there had been no return of the affliction since, notwithstanding the breaking off the match had caused her poignant grief. But even if it were shown that this malady was likely to return, though that would be a mis fortune for both of them, yet the loss to her from the breaking off the engagement would not be the less, and she was fairly entitled to substantial damages. Evidence for the plaintiff was then given. Mr. Overend called no witnesses, but addressed the jury in mitigation of damages, submitting that the defendant had, under the circumstances, no alternative but breaking off the engagement. His Lordship said that the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict, but the amount was entirely for the consideration of the jury. lie spoke in terms of praise of the good sense and good feeling which had been displayed by the defendant, and especially of the delicate manner in which he had acted when it came to his knowledge that the plaintiff had been in a lunatic asylum. lie had not mentioned the circumstance in his letter to the plaintiff, and when he sent down Mr. Goodchild, it was to communi cate not with the plaintiff herself but with her mother. The case was a very distressing one, and the jury would take all the circumstances into con sideration before giving their verdict. The jury found for the plaintiff —damages £2O. POLICE IN TE GLIGENCE—May 27. BOW-STREET.—The Rev. James Roe was again placed at the bar, before Mr. Corrie, charged with forging and uttering a cheque for £6,000, and other documents, at present in the custody of the Court of Chancery. Mr. Worthier attended for the prisoner. Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor for the prosecution, said he felt it his duty to make a public statement of the difficulty, trouble, and expense to which he had been subjected by the officials of the Record and Writ-office, before he could get possession of the documents which formed the subject of this important prosecution. The summons issued by his worship was treated with indifference, the clerk stating that he could not produce the documents without an order from the Vice-Chancellor, by whom further impediments were raised, so that he was compelled to petition the Court, make a motion by counsel, and pay stamps and fees amounting to £5, to secure the attendance of a clerk with the papers in question. Even this privilege had been conceded only with the understanding that if they were required again, at the future examinations, the same tedious and expensive process must be repeated. Now it was obvious that, if his client had been a poor man, the ends of justice would have been completely frustrated by this course of pro ceeding ; and he felt certain that if Lord Chan cellor Campbell had been applied to in such a matter the result would have been wholly different. Mr. Corrie thought the documents would have I been sent as a matter of course, unless there was some misunderstanding. Mr. Humphreys said there was no misunder standing. It was a vexatious interference with the course of justice. Mr. Corrie—Well, you have got the documents hero now, and perhaps you will not want them again till the case gets to the Old Bailey. These cobwebs will be cleared away then. Mr. Humphreys was glad - to hear them so desig nated by his worship. Mr. Corrie did not say the " cobwebs" might not be necessary. Mr. Humphreys was certain they were wholly unnecessary, and highly discreditable to the Court. lie should require the documents again at the next examination. He had no doubt they would be forthcoming promptly enough at the Old Bailey, for the judges would not be trifled with in such a manner, and the clerks knew it.
