TEE CONFEDERATE STEAMER LAW IN2 COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE QUEEN V. DANIEL BOYES--THE BEVERLEY ELECTION. The Attorney-General said—Since I moved the judg ment of the Court in this case yesterday, certain matters have come to my knowledge as to the state of the record which I think it my duty towards myself and the Court, that I should mention before we proceed further. The nisi prizes record and the roll are both in Court. The informa tion, which is in Court, and upon which the defendant was tried and found guilty, on the second count, contains but six counts; and I now find !that the criminal information which is now in the Crown Office, and upon which the trial took place, contains nine counts, the truth being that the clerk in the office of the solicitor of the Treasury having committed the error in the preparation of the nisi prizes record. In strictness the record ought to have contained every count contained in the criminal information. In preparing that document, however, three counts had been omitted by accident. That being the state of things which has come to my knowledge since yesterday, I have thought it right to mention the circumstance to the Court. Perhaps I may be permitted to say that the defendant has suffered no injustice. He was found guilty on a specific count, which is before the Court, and all the materials, unless the criminal information be considered a part of them. The defendant having suffered no injury by the omission referred to, I pray for judgment only on one count, and that upon which he was found guilty, and, if it be necessary, to set a mere technical difficulty right. I am willing before judgment be given to enter a none proseque with reference to the omitted counts in the nisi prizes record. Lord Chief Justice—lt is a seri•us question whether all the proceedings are not a nullity. The defendant has not been tried on a criminal information as he ought to have been, and is prob ably liable to be tried upon them. The Attorney-General—Not if I enter a nolle proseque. It is entirely a technical error. The defendant will suffer no hardship. The Lord Chief Justice (to Mr. James)—What have you to say on this point ? Mr. Edward James, Q.C., said—My brief at the trial contained nine counts, and I am surprised to find that the record only contains six. lam not in a condition to say anything upon the point now. The matter was ordered to stand over until next term. THE QUEEN V. WELLS-CRIMINAL INFORMATION. The Attorney-General moved on behalf of Mr. G. H. Whalley, M.P., for a rule calling upon Mr. Wells, the pub lisher of the Railway Times, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for libels pub lished in that paper. It appeared from the statements of the Attorney-General that Mr. Whalley had taken an active part in the promotion of railway communication in Wales. The libels complained of contained charges of jobbery and manoeuvring, but they were rather charges by implication than by actual statement. In one passage the alleged libel stated that the principal people of Wales had retired from the railway in consequence of Mr. Whalley's " propulsion" into the chairmanship, and that things had gone so far that none of the authorities of Euston-squ are, or the genty of Wales, would have any business communications with Mr. Whalley, except in the presence of a third party. Their Lordships granted a rule nisi. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) MIISPRITT V. MUSPRATT. This was a suit by the husband for dissolution of mar itiage on the ground of the wife's adultery. The Court had previously dsipensed with a co .respondent in the suit. The parties were in a respectable situation of life, and were married in Marylebone in 1850, and cohabitated in ;est Derby, at the petitioner's house, in Flintebire, and also in Paris. There were two children, one of whom died in 1853. The petitioner went to Australia, where he re mained some time, and the wife went to live on the conti nent with her daughter. The petitioner became aware of some circumstances which excited his suspicions as to his wife's fidelity during his absence, and he instituted i n quiries for the purpose of discovering her residence. He traced her to Havre, and there it was discovered she had two children, a girl and a boy, and that she said the hus band could claim the daughter but not the boy, as he was not its father. Mrs. Moon, 10, Crescent-place, Kentish-town, said she knew Mr. and Mrs. Muspratt after their marriage, and that theyllived very happily t^gether. M a ry Scudder, a domestic servant, also gave s"milar evidence. She also said she accompanied Smith to Havre, and pointed out Mrs. Muspratt to Smith, the detective officer. William Smith said—l was formerly a detective officer in the police force. I recollect in January being consulted by the petitioner in this s .it. I afterwards went to the Isle of Wight, and from thence to Friborg, in Germany, I there found a lady answering to the Mrs. Muspratt I was seeking. She suddenly quitted the place, and I followed her to Havre on the 9th of March. I saw her there. I have had Mrs. Muspratt pointed out to me by Scudder, at Southampton, and it was the same lady I saw at Havre. She then had two children with her, a girl and boy. I sent for Mr. Muspratt, and, after his arrival, I went with him to the lady's lodgings. I went in first, with the Com missioner of Police. The Commissioner commenced reading a document he had received from the Prefect of Paris, and after that I spoke to Mrs. Muspratt, and said I had been sent to claim the charge of her daughter. After some conversation Mrs. Muspratt said you have been seeking her a long while, and I suppose you must have her, but thank God you cannot have this one. While the gild was clinging round her mother's neck she said "Thank God my boy is provided for ; he has a prevision, and will never starve." After Mr. Muspratt quitted the room, she asked me if I was seeking the father of the chit.' I said I was not, and that I did not know him, to which she replied that I should not learn anything about him from her. I know I have done wrong, and all I can say is that Mr. Muspratt is not the father of the boy, and I will not tell you who is. The documents put into my hand, to the best of my belief, are in the handwriting of Mrs. Muspratt. Julia Bougwoie—l was formerly in the service of Mrs. Muspratt, in March, 1854. She was then living in Hesse Darmstadt. I was with her six years and a half. Mrs. Muspratt told me, after she returned from Southsea, that she had been on familiar terms with Mr. Griffin, and that she was afraid she was in the family way. We then went to Germany, where she gave birth to a male child on the Ist February, 1859. The marriage having been proved, The learned Judge said he did not think there had been any wilful neglect on the part of the husband, and there fore he should grant a rule nisi. Mr. Liddell said that he found that there had been a mistake in the petition, the respondent's name being • Frances, not " Fanny." The Judge Ordinary—That will involve you in more difficulty. The rule nisi is for the dissolution of marriage between Frances Muspratt and the petitioner. It says no thing about " Fanny " Muspratt. Mr. Liddell thought he might be allowed to amend the petitio n. t h e Judge circumstance Ordinary—you youha have just do mentioned.so. The Judge Ordinary—No, you cannot do that. Mr. Liddell—Then I will take the rule nisi. Isay about the nothing SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler.) THE LADY WHO WOULDN'T COME VP STAIRS-BIER V. BROWN. This was an action brought by a lady, who, when the case was called, left the court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Buchanan—l appear for the defendant. A voice—Plaintiff says she will pay you a visit another day. She has gone down stairs. (Great laughter.) His Honour—Oh, if she is in hearing call her. Mr. Brown (one of the bailiffs) went out, and soon re turning, said, " She is on the stairs and wont come up. (Laughter.) His Honour—Oh, persuade her. Mr. Buchanan (to defendant)—Will you pay the hearing foe and apply for costs ? At this moment the lady entered an appearance, saying, " I've not paid the hearing fee." (Laughter.) I went down stairs to look after a witness. Mr. Osgood (registrar)—Then the case will be struck out. Plaintiff —Precisely. I shall dofer proceeding till an other day. (Great laughter.) Defendant—Oh, that wont do. Plaintiff—Ah, but it must do. Mr. Osgood—You will have to take out another sum mons. _ _ Plaintiff (affably)—Oh, of course--(laughter)—during which the parties retired. ROBBING AN EMPLOYER.—Joseph Hall, in the employ of Mr. Fred. Marshall, pork butcher, 2, Market-row, Ox ford-market, as a confidential servant, was charged with stealing meat from his master. _ _ ... The prisoner pleaded guilty, and wished the case dealt with by the magistrate. Mr. Tyrwhitt said robbing masters by servants must be dealt with severely, and committed the prisoner for three months with hard labour. It is stated that the report of Messrs. Harding, Pullein, and Co., the accountants employed by the com mittee of depositors to investigate the affairs of the Bank of Deposit, will be issued to the public on Monday next. SHOCKING MURDER NEAR CARLISLE.— CARLISLE, FRIDAY NIGHT.—To-day an old woman, the keeper of a crossing on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, a mile from Carlisle, was found murdered and her house robbed. The murderer had apparently felled her with a stone, and then hacked her with a billhook, NASHVILLE. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY EVENING. Nothing whatever has publicly transpired today concerning this vessel. She still lies at her berth in the dock, but no movement has been made to supply I her with coals or stores, or to effect repairs. A body of the town police was last night placed on duty in the docks in case of any breach of the peace occurring between the men belonging to the Nashville and the crew of the burnt ship Harvey Birch, but their services have not been called into requisition. Colonel Peyton (who arrived in the Nashville) and Captain Peagrim have both deft for London. Captain Nelson, of the Harvey Birch, has also been sent up to London by the American Consul, to lay his case personally before Mr. Adams, the Ameri can Minister, and it is rumoured that they were to have an interview to-day with Lord Russell, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Confederate States steamer Nashville, Capt. Peagrim, left Charleston on the night of the 26th of October, at 11 o'clock, passing over the bar at 12. When she started the weather was thick and cloudy —but just as she was crossing the bar the weather cleared up, and the moon rose brightly, lighting up in full view to the eastward, distant about four miles, two steamers of the blockading squadron— one the United States steam frigate Susquehanna. of 12 guns, the other a powerful propeller gunboat. The Nashville, being under the land and from the moon, was not seen by them. She then encountered strong north-easterly winds and :very heavy seas, but made the passage to Bermuda in 31 days. On arriving at Bermuda she received a pilot on board, who took the vessel to the dockyard, stating that, in consequence of her length, she could not go into St. George's. The next day, Captain Peagrim, not being satisfied, obtained a second pilot from the dockyard, who took the Nashville safely round into St. George's, at which place the vessel coaled. During their stay at Bermuda the commander and officers were treated with the greatest hospitality and kindness, both by the citizens and the officers of the English army and navy stationed there, and every facility for getting stores, coals, &c., was afforded them by the inhabitants. A few days prior to the arrival at Bermuda of the Nashville the United States steamer Connecticut had called at the island for the purpose of ascertaining if the Nashville had been there. She had a crew of 400 men, with 6 guns mounted. Not hearing anything of the steamer they were in search of, they again proceeded to sea, without stating their destination. The Nashville sailed again from Bermuda on the sth inst., and from the next day until the 17th she experienced a succession of gales from all points of the compass. Nothing of interest further transpired until the 19th, when she destroyed the United States ship Harvey Birch. The officers on board the Nashville say that the statement in the New York papers that multitudes of the people of North Carolina have gone in and sworn allegiance to the United states Government since the capture of Fort Hatteras is utterly untrue and without foundation. A few wreckers living on those sandbanks, and engaged in displaying false lights for the destruction of vessels, have, no doubt, taken the oath, but their number does not exceed probably 100. Fort Hatteras, instead of being a formidable fortification, as represented by the United States papers, is composed simply of light sandbanks, and in an incomplete condition. Commander Peagrim and Colonel Peyton and lady left Southampton this (Friday) morning by express train, for the purpose of placing themselves in com munication with Mr. Yancey.

LORD STANLEY, M.P., AND HIS CON- STITUEATS. KING'S LYNN, FRIDAY EVENING. Lord Stanley, M,P., met his constituents in this borough his afternoon for the purpose of address• ing them on the present state of public affairs. The gathering took place in the Town-hall, and the platform was occupied by the leading gentlemen in the town of both political parties, while several of the fairer members of their families were also pre sent. The Mayor (Mr. L. W. Jarvis) presided. Lord STANLEY, who was received with cheers, said,—Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, I thank you for the heartiness of this reception, although it is no thing more than what I was prepared to expect from many previous proofs of your kindness. It is now nearly seven years since, standing before you in this hall shortly after the commencement of the Crimean war, I told you that it was my intention, unless prevented by any unforeseen events, to take an opportunity once in the course of each Parlia mentary session to give you an account of the course of proceedings in Parliament, and to explain, or, if circumstances should render it necessary, to justify the part which I had personally taken. That pledge I have regularly fulfilled up to the present time, with the single exception of last year ; and I will tell you frankly what was the reason of that omis sion. When I was here last summer the Reform Bill was being talked to death in the House of Com mons, being defeated by debate evidently protracted with that intention. Now, I did not altogether approve that bill, and there are parts of it which I could not have supported without modification, but if I did not like the bill I liked quite as little the manner in which it was opposed, although perhaps circumstances rendered such a course inevitable. The subject being one on which, if I had addressed you at all, I must necessarily have spoken, I thought it better to say nothing rather than to express opinions which probably would have pleased no party, and which—the fate of the measure being then practically decided—could have answered no useful public purpose. This was my reason, and I hope you will think it a sufficient apology. Gen tlemen, it is no secret to any one that during the last two or three years politicians and the public have been much more occupied with the affairs of foreign countries than with our own. For one speech which we have lately heard on questions of domestic policy we have heard half a dozen on the affairs of other countries. This is not an ordinary state of things, but the explanation of it is that no great European disturbance can long continue which isnot likely sooner or later to involve every other European State ; and there never has been since the days of the first French Empire a time of such universal disquietude in Europe or when apprehensions of a ge neral disturbance were more alive than during the last two or three years. There is hardly an important State in Europe which has not been looking forward either with hope or with fear to a future in some way different from its present. The vast develop ment of the military and material pow er of France —the rise of Spain from what seemed a condition of hopeless decadence into a first-class Power—the great measure of serf emancipation in Russia, in volving the fate of four or five times as many human brings as are directly interested in that other ques tion of negro emancipation of which we hear so much—the struggle for independence and self-go vernment in Hungary—the Italian revolution, which, so far from being completed, seems to me to be hardly begun—all these are events which if they had occurred singly would singly and sepa rately have filled a large space in history, and which, perbaps, lose something of their real importance in our estimation because they do not occur imme diately before our eyes. Now, with some of these events, England, as a nation, has no direct concern. It does not concern us, and perhaps it does not greatly effect mankind at large, if Spain retains, instead of losing, her hold upon Cuba—if she ex tends her power over an adjoining isle, and if she even regains some of her lost influence in her for mer colony of Mexico. We may be glad for the sake of humanity if the great measure of serf eman cipation should succeed, but whether that measure succeeds, or whether it fails, the one result—and perhaps in the actual state of things the only re sult—which is certain, is that the social disorgani sation which must inevitably accompany so great a revolution will for a considerable time to come reduce the aggressive power of Russia almost to nothing. In the quarrel between Austria and her own subjects we are not called upon directly to interfere, but, though our sympathies may be very unequally divided as between the two par ties, still I think it is impossible for any one who watches that question with interest, but at the same time with impartiality, to feel an absolutely unmixed sympathy with either party. On the one hand there is no doubt that nothing could have been more suicidal than the folly of the Aus trian authorities, and that nothing could be more natural than the distrust which their past conduct has inspired of their present professions. But, on the other hand, we in this country have had some experience of the constitutional arrangement which the popular leaders in Hungary are now attempt ing, and which I understand to be a union under a single crown, with two separate and mutually inde pendent legislative bodies. This experiment was tried in Ireland under the constitution of 1782, and it was made to work in a fashion for 19 or 20 years; but if we are to speak the truth, I believe we must say that it was only made to work because, although in the old Irish Parliament the spirit of faction was strong, the spirit of corruption was still stronger, and all men who watched the working of that sys tem satisfied themselves that it could not perma nently endure, and after an experience of less than 20 years the legislative union of England and Ire land was accepted as a political necessity. Now, I believe that the analogy will hold good in the case of Hungary. No man can foretell the result of the contest which is now pending, but to one of two re sults we may look forward as probable, either, as suming that the Hungarian leaders obtain for the present that which they desire, the experiment of legislative separation, and monarchical union will fail, and some measure like the Union of England and Ireland be adopted, or else there will be a total separation from Austria, and a total and permanent disruption of the Austrian empire. For my own part, I must say—not at all admiring Austrian in stitutions or Government—that I should regret such a disruption on general grounds. I should re gret it because I feel that whatever tends to break up great empires into small and feeble States re moves one obstacle out of the way of any ruler who at some future time may be disposed to play the part of a conqueror ; and I am afraid that the ex perience we have had during the last few years shows that the days of military aggression and conquest are not so entirely gone by as it was the fashion some time ago to suppose. It is not a matter, however, in which we can in any way interfere. It is impossible to deny that whatever may be the misfortunes which befallhtahvee Austrian a Government, those misfortunes will watchnd all gthreaat twmaeaaasunrdeabrisoutgohwtaotnehb,yailttshoowugnhcownedumcaty, with regret,:dca(lcamheietyrs.) whichßat atit mthaisymbeominenntoimt is in pow er to avo Italy that the chief interest of European politics centres. When I last stood before you in this hall the Italian war had very lately begun. I was then bound to address you with that reserve which be longs to the position of a Minister of the Crown; but, although bound to that reserve, I did not hesi tate to tell you plainly and frankly what I thought of the justice of that war. It was then very gener ally considered in this country as a wanton disturb ance of European peace. Since that time opinion has to some extent changed, and the contest is now looked upon by many persons in the light of a war of liberation. I confess that I am disposed to hold to the earlier view. I have no great faith, as a general rule, in the disinterested sympathy of despotic go vernments with the wrongs and oppressions of their neighbours, and I have quite as little faith in that freedom which is conferred as a gift by Emperors or Kings. When first the Emperor of the French en tered Italy one might very reasonably doubt whethe r he had any fixed or definite policy, tho personal motives were sufficiently obvious. Tuo g recall the memory of his uncle's early campaigns, to re place the influence of Austria b y that of France, to alrhri occupy the mind of the French people and to gratify them with a spectacle in which they greatly delight —that of their own nailitaryascendancy—were quite sufficient reasons for the policy which he pursued. Again, he has acquired the confidence of his army, which never looks with perfect deference to a chief who has not commanded in actual war ; and he has exhibited the spectacle—which even to those who are no great admirers of military glory in general is somewhat remarkable—of a Commander-in -Chief who at the age of 50 had never heard a shot fired in earnest, taking the command of an army, and winning two great and decisive victories against distinguished and experienced generals. He has humbled a second great European Power, Russia being the first, and he has restored to France a portion of the territory which, spared by the arrangement of 1814, was taken away by the defeat of Waterloo. These were considerable results, and it is not difficult to see what the Emperor of the French and what France regained in that Ita lian campaign ; but the position of Italy in conse quence of that war is Not altogether so clear. One thing, however, is clear—she is placed in a position in which she must necessarily show considerable deference to the views and wishes of France, and she is pledged to hostility against Austria, with which country she cannot cope single-handed. England, although she may lend her advice and her moral influence, will not do more, and it is there fore on France that the Italian Government must lean for support in pursuing any further plan which they may have to carry out. On what terms that support will be given, and whether it will be given, is a secret which is locked in the breast of one man. Personally, I sympathise with the feeling which is undoubtedly that of the majority of the Italian people—their desire for unity under a strong Go vernment; but, looking at it as a matter of reason and not of mere feeling, I think it is impossible not to see what grievous difficulties exist in the way of that unity being accomplished. In the first place, its completion necessarily involves a renewal of the war with Austria. Without Venetia Italy is not complete, and Austria will not cede the Venetian territory, except by force. We may blame her for that ; but, after all, we must remember that we have no record in history of a nation having volunta rily ceded a large portion of its dominions upon no other ground than because it was unpopular within. those dominions. Austria will not cede Venetia, and the party of war—the party who are at this moment lending the King of Italy their influence and sup port—will give him, and very naturally so, no rest till they obtain it. Therefore, there are the ele ments at hand of another European war. Then comes the Roman question. Italy is not complete any more without Rome than she is without Venetia ; and, although it is possible that a change of opinion may be taking place, yet, as far as we know, we have reason to suppose that the majority at least of the Italian clergy are favourable to the temporal power of the Pope, and I need not tell you that clerical influence in Italy is a very different thing from what it is England. In North Italy those provincial jealousies which have existed from time immemorial between State and State and town and town, although they may not have wholly disappeared, have greatly softened down but in Naples, although there may be very few persons who regret their late rulers, and who wish to have them restored, there is a party not without numbers and influence who look with some regret upon the loss of their local independence and self government, and upon what they consider as their annexation to Sardinia. Then, again, war and re volution have disturbed Italian finance over the greater part of Italy, and the taxes are at present necessarily heavier at the present time than they were under former rulers. No Italian statesman fills the place which was occupied by Count Cavour in the public estimation, and both the King and his Ministers are well aware that that party which most strenuously encourages him to prosecute the war—l mean that party which formerly was under the influence of Mazzini,—although they may have for the present waived all republican ideas, and may be perfectly sincere in the support which they give, are not the safest and most natural allies of his throne. Well, lastly, and this is the most im portant consideration of all, the policy of France has for a long time been hostile to the formation of a single Italian kingdom, which would create her a new rival in Europe, and lessen that preponderat ing influence which she now exercises in Italian affairs. No doubt the Emperor of the French is not a man likely to be bound by the traditions of the past if he thinks it is his policy to break through those traditions, and no man is more com petent to strike out a line of his own ; but he has thrown out hints which certainly seem to indicate that the traditional policy of France is his also. He has put forward a plan of federation which, under a very specious and plausible name, really perpe tuates the division of Italy. He has refused to withdraw his troops from Rome, although it is quite certain that while they remain there the paci fication of the Neapolitan States can never be ac complished, and not improbably it is an idea which might naturally have occurred to a mind less inge nious and astute than his that so long as Italy has something which she wants to keep, and Austria something which she wants to obtain, so long one and the other of those contending Powers will be more dependent upon his influence and more sub servient to his policy than they would be if their quarrels were at en end, and if both parties were confined within their respective boundaries. (Hoar.) On the whole, therefore, so far from the Italian dif ficulty being settled, it seems to me that its solution is hardly begun. Nothing is decided until the fates of Rome and of Venetia are decided, and we seem to be as far as ever from a decision as to one or the other. It is not likely in the actual state of French finance that the Emperor will be anxious to engage in another war, and if he does not interfere in the quarrel, and if Italy should single-handed attack the Austrian power, I apprehend we could hardly expect that such a contest would end favourably to her. Now, I do not underrate the power of popular enthusiasm and of national unity ; I do not say the Italians may not triumph over all these difficulties. What I say is that they are difficulties of the gravest kind, and that we are, I think, in the habit of greatly underrating them in this country. As to the part of England in the matter, there is only one thing to bear in mind. Undoubtedly a majority of the English people are in favour of Italian union. The exceptions are the Roman Catholics, who have a very natural and intelligible feeling on behalf of the temporal power of the Pope; some persona think (and it is a supposition not devoid of plausi bility) that in the actual state of Neapolitan c:vili sation Naples is more likely to be a hindrance than a help to Northern Italy in the course of political progress, and there aro some persons who are hostile to the Italian cause not so much from any settled conviction on the subject as from morbid dislike to popular movements. But the great majority of the English people, so far as they take an interest in the matter, are undoubtedly in favour of Italian unity. The real doubt, the real question is, to what extent we ought to engage or compromise our selves in the matter. We are not in this quarrel in the same position as that which is occu pied by France. A nation which, from whatever motive, has expended 50,000 soldiers and many millions of treasure on behalf of another naturally claims some right to decide what the results of the victory shall be. So, again, a nation that is ready to make war on behalf of another ca n express and enforce its own views with a very considerable pro bability that those views will be attended to..ntßenudt we have Not interposed by arms ; e do not to interpose, and we are right. But, in that case, a dvantages o t f h a i n n t w e re ference and non-interference at the same time.
