REP ORM CONFERENCE. LEEDS, WEDNESDAY. The Conference of Delegates on Parliamentary Reform, which held sittings here on Monday and Tuesday, brought their proceedings to a close by what they termed a " demonstrative meeting," which was held in the Victoria-hall, and was well attended, there being from 1,800 to 2,000 persons present. Mr. E. BAINES, M.P., took the chair amid very loud manifestations of approbation. He said they were then met together at the close of a Conference of Delegates on the question of Reform—a Confer ence which he boldly pronounced to have been one of the ablest in the way in which it was conducted, one of the calmest, and at the same time one of the fairest in the tone of its discussion that he ever at tended in his life. (Applause.) He did not think it was possible that there could be any subject of greater weight and dignity than that which had called together that assemblage that evening. (Hear.) There had been in this country during the last 30 years an unparalleled progress by the people in prosperity and in a great many things of which they had cause to be very proud ; but, unhappily, there was one thing in which there had been no progress whatever—nay, there had been actually a retrograde movement, and that was in the less share which the great body of the working classes of Eng land, the representatives of labour, three-fourths of the people of England at least, and those upon whose labour the prosperity of the community defended, had in the representation of the people than they had 30 years ago. (Hear.) Before the Reform Acta much larger proportion of the working classes possessed the franchise than possessed it at this moment. Even after the Reform Act was passed there still were left such a number of the working classes as freemen, burgesses, scot and lot voters, and other forms or classes of old voters, that there were no less than 100,000 out of 400,000 of the borough voters under these varied classes, a greater part of whom belonged also to the working classes. When the last Parliamentary return was made the number had dwindled down from 100,000 to less than 50,000 ; every year it was growing less. He believed there were very few large towns in this county in which the working classes formed any appreciable element in the Parliamentary constitu encies ; and as to their share in the county fran chise, why the number was certainly infinitesimally small. When he took upon him, at the instance of many friends in and out of Parliament, in the course of last session to introduce a bill for the ex tension of the borough franchise, there were two main points that he was anxious especially to meet. The first was to prove that the number of the working classes which would be admitted by a £6 rental franchise—which was the same proposal as was introduced by Earl Russell in his bill—would still leave in the hands of the upper and higher classes of society, a considerable numerical majority, so that they had no reason to be afraid, or to make that a bugbear to frighten the country. (Cheers.) The second object he had in view was to prove that the prodigious advancement made by the unen franchised classes in intellectual and moral quali fications entitled them to receive the franchise. The increase of the population since the passing of the Reform Bill in 1832 had been 40 per cent. Dating the same time the number of day scholars had in creased 68 per cent., the members of mechanics' institutes had increased from 7,000 in 1831 to 200,000 in 1860—(cheers)—the number of newspapers had increased 273 per cent., while there was a cheap literature—scientific, literary, religious, and moral —which had been created during the same time, and was read almost wholly by the working classes. The issues of Bibles and religious publica tions had increased fourfold ; the number of letters sent by post had increased sixfold; the quantity of paper—the raw material of the literature of the country—had increased 256 per cent. ; the number of depositors in savings-bank had increased 250 per cent.; and they had now £40,000,000 sterling in those banks. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The number of members of friendly and provident societies had risen to the enormous amount of £3,ooo,ooo,having a capital of £12,000,000, and paying £5,000,000 sterling every year for mutual insurance. (Cheers.) The members of temperance societies, including members of Bands of Hope, might be put down at 3,000,000. There had also been a vast increase in the general prosperity of the country, and in the comforts of the working classes. The amount of pauperism had been reduced to one-half of what it was, and crime had been very greatly diminished. (Loud cheers.) He did not know how any candid or honest man could hesitate or affect to despise or fail to see how overwhelming these statements were to prove that the classes interested were qualified to exercise the franchise. (Hear, hear.) But they were met with two excuses. It was said, " This is not the time." Another excuse was that the work ing classes did not want the franchise, and upon this the whole question at present hinged in this country. If the working classes did not want the elective franchise most assuredly they never would get it, most assuredly the time for getting it never would come, however high their qualifications might be. If they did want Reform they must say so, loudly, distinctly, perseveringly, and earnestly, and depend upon it the time would come, and very speedily, when they would get their rights. (Loud cheers.) It was the fashion before the passing of the Reform Bill to say that the abuses in the repre sentative system were so gross and so scandalous that Reform was absolutely necessary. He held that the shutting out the mass of those who represented the labour of the country was a much greater evil, a far more grievous injustice, than the exclusion of the large towns before 1831. (Cheers.) What was implied in the exclusion of the working classes ? They had in England and Wales a population of 20,000,000 souls. Of that 20,000,000, 5,0'10,000 were men of adult years ; but less than 1,000,000 of them had the elective franchise, leaving 4,000,000 entirely excluded. Now, those 4,000,000 unrepre sented, unenfranchised men, represented the whole of the labour of the country—that labour which gave vitality and prosperity to all the capital and all the ingenuity of the land. (Cheers.) The 1,000,000 were connected with property, and it was assumed that they alone were the holders of pro. perty. He denied the assertion. (Hear, hear.) He said the working classes had property, and he would prove that they had millions and hundreds of millions. (Cheers.) They had 4,000,000 work ing men in England and Wales, and, taking them and their families together, he thought they might fairly take their average earnings at £1 per week, which would give no less than £208,000,000 per annum._ (Cheers.) Had they any other property ? Yes. They had furniture, and clothing, and orna ments, and he thought they could not value these at less than £lO per household, which, if multi plied by four millions, Would give forty millions of property thus belonging to (Cheers.) Th a t wag the working classes. not all. In the savings-banks of the United Ki ngdom they h a d f or ty m illi ons s terling, of which thirty-six millions belonged to the people of England, and in a gr eat the working classes. (Rear, hear. ) measure to that r q they that was not all. He had told the m y soc ieties m illion members of provident an d eei„ell had three in the country, having an accu mulated capital of twelve millions, and paying annually five m illions. There were, in addition 100,000 mem bers of benefit building and land societies, som e of the largest of which they had in Leeds, and he was informed by Mr. Taylor, o f Birmingham, that they had a capital of six millions sterling, and were pay in g y earl y £1,270,000. They had also a number of co-opera rading societies—(chcer,)--foeictics admirably conducted by the working classes, and having an estimated capital of one million sterling. (Wear.) Then there were a considerable number of working men who did not possess the franchise, but had made themselves owners of their own cottages, " . rd he did not think they ought to put down the aggre gate value of those cottages at less than six millions sterling. (Hear, hear.) There was one other fact. Of the unenfranchised millions he had referred to, it was estimated that there were about 400,000 Tho were not working for others, but were obtain ing t‘ living either as small shopkeepers, handicafts men, pe master s , and each of these men would have a stock of tools or materials, and certain debts re- presenting the floating capital of his business, and it would be a very reasonable computation to estimate these various things at £lO per head. This, multi plied by 400,000, would give property to the value of four millions. (Hear, hear.) Now what was the conclusion he drew from these figures ? In the first instance, they had the annual income of the work ing classes estimated at £208,000,000 sterling, and if they added together the various items he had men tioned they would have a further sum of £105,000,000, and all belonging to the working classes of this country. (Cheers.) But suppose it should be said, " This property is considerable, but it is not equal to the property of those belonging to the middle and upper classes." Well, then, he said, " If you calculate so nicely, I throw into the scale 4,000,000 heads, 4,000,000 hearts, 4,000,000 con sciences, 4,000,000 families, 4,000,000 homes, and these, be the other scale as heavy as it may, will kick the beam." (Loud and prolonged cheering.) For all these interests, and these interests repre sented so fully by those who were so dear to him as his own townsmen, whose worth he knew—on these accounts, for their sakes, and for the sakes of the working classes of the kingdom, he felt it his duty to take the stand he did take in the last session of Parliament. (Hear, and applause.) If the work ing men of England would do their duty as his townsmen, the working men of Leeds, had done theirs—(cheers) —they would soon see a disposition on the part of Government and Parliament to listen to them. Then it would be declared that the time had come—(hear, hear)—and then they would get their rights. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Smith, of York, then read letters of apology from Mr. G. Wilson, Mr. F. Crossley, M.P., Mr. Roebuck, MX., Mr. Bazley, M.l'., and Mr. West head, M.P. Mr. W. E. FORSTER, M.P., was received with loud and enthusiastic cheering. He said that the few remarks he should offer would be directed St. 'iari irogfralrwill. a remittan NY . rreilßOlT, 04 MAI ea, 141.4.,„v0r •• • Haw.

THE SUN ; LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 1861. more especially to the question how they could ob tain that increase of the suffrage which Mr. Baines had shown so convincingly that it would be safe to confer on the working classes. Their member had introduced to their attention the statistics of the whole country, but he wished to bring them to their own borough and the neighbouring borough of Bradford, and to speak upon their position in rela tion to this question. Since he had represented Bradford he had had a very careful inquiry made as to the number of working men who had votes. The constituency numbered 3,450, but of these there were only 302 in receipt of weekly wages, of whom 32 were factory overlookers, and, with the exception of one or two mechanics, included in the 59 artisans, there was not a single factory operative in Bradford who had a vote. (Cries of " Shame.") Leeds and Bradford would not be what they were if they had not working men who were worthy of votes, and a representation of the people which deprived those working men almost entirely of votes was not a representa tion of the people, but a mockery and a sham. (Applause.) But how were they to get this in crease of the suffrage ? The aristocracy would not give them that increase of the suffrage. The middle classes could not if they wished give it to them, and he did not know that they would even wish to give it to them. It they helped themselves, others would help them. (Hear, hear, and applause.) He was of opinion that the failure of Lord John Russell's Reform Bill arose mainly from the desire of the working classes for the suffrage not having been expressed with sufficient earnestness and sufficient persistency. He slid not say that in excuse of the present Ministry or the House of Commons. If the Ministry came pledged to a Reform Bill, they ought to have fulfilled those pledges or given up their offices, There was great probability, however, if they set heartily to work, that they might got a considerable share in the Government and a very considerable share in the representation. W hat sort of agitation were they to have by which they could get some real measure of Reform ? They must work hard for it. Petitions were good things in them selves, but they would do very little by them selves. They were useful things if there were other organisations and other expressions of feeling, espe cially if they came from different parts of the country. But mere expressions of feeling would not do. They wanted an active organisation which would constantly keep at work, bringing all sorts of legitimate action to bear upon their members. That was what they wanted; and if they did that con stantly and perseveringly they would find members ofParliament would remember mm e accurately what they said at the hustings. (Hear, hear.) Well, then, if they wished tohave that final organisation, he did not think that they could do better than join the Leeds Working Men's Reform Association, and per suado the working men of other towns in the cram try to form similar associations. He was sorry that Mr. Bright had recommended that the trades unions of the country should be the organisations for carry ing on the agitation for Reform—first, because he thought the objects of these unions should be to watch over the interests of trade ; and, secondly, because suck a step would give some semblance of truth to the absurd objection that it might lead to a difference between labour and capital. If a now Reform Bill did result—as he trusted it might—in the return of some working men to the House of Commons, there would be no harm to the employers, but, on the contrary, there would be great good. (Cheers.) The very essence of a representative Go vernment was, that all classes should be represented, and that every discussion which occurred in the country should be represented by a similar discus cussion in the House of Commons. In conclusion, Mr. Forster said that if in the management of as sociations similar to that just established they were determined, and yet moderate, they might feel sure of a Reform Bill, if not next session, at least within two or three years, which should embrace within it that most important class in the community now excluded from all share in the Government of the country. (Loud cheers.) Mr. LEATILIM, M.P., said he should make a few remarks about what the newspapers called " the situation." Ho did not think there was anything in the aspect of home politics which need alarm or discourage the Reform party. No doubt there had existed, and still existed, a great and culpable neg ligence and indolence among those most interested in the passing of a Reform Bill. Of this the Go vernment had greedily availed themselves in order to wriggle out of some of the most solemn pledges which ever were extracted from the leaders of a party. As to what was called Conservative reac tion, he was altogether incredulous about its exist ence. (Hear, hear.) What had occurred was this —the country had been prosperous and busy, and when a country was busy and prosperous it had bat little leisure for political agitation. The ends of those who for selfish purposes professed an attachment to Reform had been gained by their instalment in office, and when men were apparently actuated by no higher motives than personal ambition, and great popular measures were made the mere stalking-horses to power, there was nothing wonderful in the fact that when this was accomplished they should seek to fling what had become an encumbrance on one side. If, instead of placing their confidence in the barren pledges of public men, the working classes had from the first braced themselves for the contest which was now manifestly inevitable, they would not then be organizing their forces for the struggle, but would have been in the full enjoyment of its legitimate results, (Hear, hear.) He reg retted that this movementeaieZy should b e rendered necessary by the of the middle and upper classes, who should have granted th at to the i ntell igence which they • seemed determined only to concede to the agitation of the people. (Hear.) If that which should Enve been an element of strength should be turned into I an element of dissension, whom would they have to thank ? They would have to thank those who had i year after year persisted in postponing the settle ment of a vital and inevitable question, in the c hildish hope that hundreds and thousands of intel ligent men, surrounded by everything to remind them that they were strong yet powerless, could stoop to the perpetual exclusion from the exorcise of those rights the aspiration to participate in which God had breathed into t he breast of ever y man who was free. (Cheers.) I It remained for the working classes those around classes to show that the hopes w hich I him entertained for their future were not ill- founded, and that in vanquishing, as he believed they would do, all opposition they would conquer for no selfish purposes, but sinking the narrow ob jects of their class in the great and paramount claims of the country, they would carry with them into the Constitution those principles and those virtues which became men who aspired to a citizenship the responsibilities of which were as vast as its renown. (Loud cheers_) Mr. R. COOPER said he felt proud to stand be fore the meeting as the representative of the work ing class. The people had been charged with being apathetic, but he thought it ought rather to be said that they had been too confiding. (Hear, hear.) They had trusted to statesmen who had deceived them, but there were members of the Cabinet in whom they had confidence, and tho only wonder was that these men did not come out when the aris tocratic element refused to abide by Reform, and thus compel one of the most treacherous Ministers of modern times to retire from office. (Applause.) It had been said, he continued, that the working classes would never get reform until they were in earnest; he asked what was to be the test of earnestness ? Was it to be tumult and violence, or was it to be the calm and intelligent demand for the concession of that to which they were entitled ? (Hear, hear.) If the aristocracy wished to delay reform until the former was the case, it was they, and not the people, who must be charged with in citing to physical force; if the second ground was to be the test, let them at once concede to the people that which it had been proved beyond a ll question they were fully qualified to exercise. (Ap plause.) They were told that Reformers were' afraid of their own principles, because of the state of things in America. It was not just or true or honest to say that democracy in America was upon its trial, when the only cause of disruption there was despotism. (Hear, hear.) Despotism was trying to destroy the constitution there ; but let Englishmen hope their American brethren would rise equal to the crisis, and snap for ever the chains of the slave. (Loud and long continued cheers.) After energetic speeches by Mr. 'loosen, of Man chester ; Councillor It. M. Carter, of Leeds ; and Mr. Nield, of Oldham. ' Mr. SAMUEL POPE said it was an important cir cumstance that the leaders of this movement were those who knew most about the working classes. (Applause.) Labour eould not be hostile to the other great interests of the country, and therefore he looked without a shad9w of fear on an increase in the power of those who represented the interests of labour. He believed the curse of Liberalism at present was, that there were a great many among them who had no sincerity in the principles they professed, but if the working men would bring to bear upon this movement a deep energy and deter mination, they would succeed in wresting all they asked from an unwilling House of Commons. (Cheers.) Mr. BARNES, M.P., said that in the House of Commons any member who was anxious to support a measure of Reform found himself surrounded with influences of all kinds opposed to him. Nothing could be done by members of Parliament unless they were supported heartily and energetically by the people outside. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) lie be lieved the Whig side of the House of Commons rather rejoiced in what they called the indifference of the people. The present meeting had done some thing towards contradicting that libel, and he trusted they would continue to use every legitimate means in their power to give expression to their opinions, and not desist until they obtained a full measure of Reform. (Cheers.) The proceedings then terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. .17? ELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY. The Chief Secretary is still the principal topic of discussion with the newspapers and in political circles. It is an interesting fact that the motion in the Town Council of Derry to present an address to Sir Robert Peel was seconded by Mr. Foy, a Roman Catholic, who for many years has taken a prominent part in local politics, in the interest of his own communion. In Belfast, in like manner, the adoption of the address was seconded by a Roman Catholic, Mr. John Hamill, who is a leading member of the Roman Catholic party in that town. In connexion with him an interesting little episode occurred in the Town-hall. Mr. Hamill, after the presentation of the address, approached the Chief Secretary, and said, "Will you permit me to grasp the hand of the son of the statesman who made me a freeman ?" Sir Robert Peel shook hands with him in a very cordial manner, seeming, says the Banner of Ulster," much gratified by the incident." The Daily Express no longer stands alone among the Dublin Conservative journals in its defence of the Chief Secretary. There is only one which now assails him. There is so doubt, indeed, that the Chief Secretary has carried with him the Protestant feeling of the country, as may bo seen from the fol lowing extracts selected from the provincial journals. Such popularity enjoyed by a member of a Liberal Government is an unprecedented phenomenon in Ireland:— (From the Belfast News Letter.), " It is impossible to read the speech Of Sir Robert Peel, in reply to the address of the Town Council of Belfast, without feeling the highest admiration for the manliness and courage, as well as for the ability of the right hon. gentleman. When have we had a Chief Secretary who could venture openly to accuse Dr. Cullen of Jesuitical ingenuity,' and of hurling against him blasphemous denunciations ?' Every word of the large portion of Sir Robert Peel's speech devoted to a counter-attack on Dr. Cullen is manly and telling, because it is truthfal and honest. There is neither disguise nor exaggeration ; and we cannot but believe th it the straightforward and chivalrous manner in which Dr. Cullen's challenge has been taken up will produce a most beneficial effect upon the minds of all sensible Roman Catholics." (Newry Telegraph : ) . _ _ " The speech delivered by the Chief Secretary at Belfast, in answer to an address from the corpora tion of that borough, has the ring of the true metal, and the promise it holds out—the assurance of im partial government—will be hailed by all classes— the intelligent and independent thinking of all parties, creeds, and denominations, averse to that coquetting with the Ultramontane section' which Sir It. Peel, in so manful a spirit and tone, scorn fully repudiates, and indisposed to ' place faith in acts or language which savour rather of the monkish superstitions of the middle ages than the bold fea tures of religious toleration.'" (Derry (Mardian.) "The rebuke which Sir Itobcrt administered to Dr. Cullen met with the cordial sympathy of his hearers, and if he shall only act in the frank and fearless spirit which characterises this portion of his speech, and which was still more emphatically manifested by the right hon. baronet at Belfast, he will secure for himself the approbation and support of every person whose good opinion is worth hav ing in this country." _ (Bannor of Ulster.) "The admirable address presented by the corpo ration is eminently creditable to their liberality, while Sir It. Peel's own manly and magnanimous words in reply have struck a chord that seldom vibrates under the dexterous touch of ordinary statesmanship. There is an openness, a breadth, and a determination in the bearing of this man that are quite refreshing in an age of trimmers and diplomatists, while there is withal a Cromwellian ring in the tone that proclaims defiance. Too long has the ' concession' policy been the order of the day, and it is well that Archbishop Legates and their myrmidons should understand that they shall in vain hurl their anathemas against the friends of liberty and progress. A timid and temporising course has only given new boldness to the demands of Ultramontanism in Ireland, and it is a subject of congratulation that from such an influential quar tet a voice has gone forth to rebuke its insolence. All that is enlightened' and iudependent in public opinion will sustain the Irish Secretary against his umerupulf.ari antagonist U." Independent.) . " Bravo, Sir Robert The good sense and honest feelings of the true-hearted Irish people will know how to respond to such an appeal against the unfair, discourteous, and unmanly attempt of Paul Cullen to misrepresent our noble-minded and generous hearted Chi e f S ecre t ary, an d to st i r up against him the religious animosities of a sensitive people. The people of Ireland owe a debt of gratitude to Sir Robert for his tour of inspection." (Cork Constitution.) " After all, we are inclined to be grateful to Dr. hitthia him miat all it Cullen. placard has brought Bit. Robert out, He is speaking w i th th e pluck which becomes a thheat acts i worth ashe i p 4 0 I A l k , rh d e N will carry eatitelly having of the Doctor's creed. The Ultramontanists are wroth. Of course they are; they will be wrothr with any one of whom they cannot make a tool. But let Sir Robert be of good cheer ; the country will sustain him, and with that at his back, and with right in his hand, and with truth on his tongue, ho need not care for all the Cullenites at this side the Flaminian Gate. We are glad he has come to us." The Evening Mail, Warder, Packet, 'Western Star, Derry Sentinel, Dcrry Standard, and other Conservative papers have articles to the same effect as the above. LAW IN TELLIG ENCE.—Nov. 20. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) BUTLER V. BUTLER. The hearing of this petition by a wife for a disso lution of marriage on the ground of her husband's adultery and cruelty was resumed at the sitting of the Court. The evidence was taken on Friday and Saturday last. Mr. Sergeant Pigott (with whom was Mr. G. Browne), for the respondent, commented upon the evidence of the petitioner in support of the allega tions of cruelty, and submitted that her statements were in many respects untrue, were very much exaggerated, were uncorroborated, and were con tradicted in many points by independent testimony. The learned sergeant then. contrasted the evidence of the petitioner and of the respondent with respect to the four occasions upon which. according to Mrs. Butler's version of the transactions, she had been assaulted by Mr. Butler, and contended that Mr. Butler's account of them was not only the more probable, but was also corroborated by trustworthy witnesses. He also referred to the evidence of Han nah Sims, the only witness in support of the charge of adultery, and contended that she was unworthy of credit. The result was that the petition ought to be dismissed. Dr. Spinks (with whom was Mr. Murray) replied on behalf of the petitioner. He admitted the diffi culty of establishing a charge of adultery by the evidence of such a witness as Sims, but it was not denied that she was a notorious prostitute, and that she was employed to do some work in Mr. Butler's house during the absence of his wife. That circum stance raised a presumption that her evidence as to the adultery was true. With regard to the charge of cruelty, the learned counsel reminded his lord ship that it was admitted that Mrs. Butler had on more than one occasion left her home, and com plained to the husband's relatives of his conduct, and that she had been ill after some of the quarrels. There must therefore have been some substantial ground for her charges. He accused Mr. Butler of continuing his cruelty to Mrs. Butler in this court by false imputing to her that she was in the habit of taking too much to drink. His Lordship said he thought there was no ground for that imputation. Dr. Spinks continued his comments upon the evidence in support of and in answer to the charge of cruelty, and submitted in conclusion that the charge had been completely established. The Judge Ordinary said, that if he had been of opinion that the case depended on the charge of cruelty, he should have taken further time to examine the evidence, after the able argument of counsel. But as the case did not depend on that point, he would state at once that he was not satisfied that the respondent had been guilty of cruelty to his wife. It was very apparent that the lady was a person of hysterical and excitable temperament. The husband was also somewhat excitable, and he was afraid that they had allowed disputes about trifles to arise between them, which had, no doubt, led to a great deal of unhappiness. There were indications about the case that most of these dis putes had been founded in jealousy. his Lordship then briefly reviewed the evidence on both sides with respect to the charge of cruelty, and said he could not safely rely on the petitioner's evidence in support of that charge. With regard to the other charge, he thought it would be the rashest thing in the world to find any man guilty of adultery upon the evidence of the miserable, wretched prostitute who had been examined. There was nothing to corroborate her evidence but the fact of her having been in the respondent's house, and she was not taken there secretly and at night, but was employed openly in cleaning the doors and windows, and was exhibited to all the neighbours, and attracted the attention of one of them, who remarked that she was particularly dirty. It was impossible to sepa rate a man from his wife on such testimony. The adultery not having been proved, there had been plenary condonation of all the previous cruelty, even if cruelty had been committed, and the ques tion of cruelty was therefore immaterial. He hoped the lady would now be convinced that her suspicions against her husband were unfounded, that she would put a little more control upon her temper, and that they would hereafter live together more happily than heretofore.—Petition dismissed. BAILEY V. BAILEY AND DELLA ROCCA. Thomas Farmar Bailey prayed for a dissolution of his marriage with Eufrosina Falcini Bailey on the ground of her adultery with Luigi Della Rocca. The respondent denied the adultery, and charged the petitioner with having committed adultery with Emma Courage. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Dr. Spinks appeared for the petitioner; Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Mr. Pritchard for the respondent. Mr. Sergeant Shee applied that the case might be postponed, on the ground that the evidence of the marriage and of the identity of the parties was not complete, and also that the petitioner wished for an opportunity of producing further evidence of adultery. Dr. Phillimore opposed the application. His Lordship said it would be a great hardship to keep a charge of adultery hanging over a lady's head, unless some necessity for doing so was proved. He would hear the evidence which the petitioner was now prepared to produce, and then, if he were satisfied that there was reasonable ground for ad journing the hearing for further evidence, he would order the adjournment. Mr. Sergeant Shee then opened the case. He stated that Mr. Bailey was a gentleman of fortune residing at Hall-place, near Leigh, in Kent, and in January, 1843, he, being then very young, privately monied the respondent at Naples. They cohabited first at Naples, then at Rome, then at Hall-place, and afterwards returned to Rome, where Mr. Bailey , purchased a villa. In 1847 they returned to Eng land, and, after staying at Hall-place fur a short time, went back to Rome. They then made a tour in the Holy Land, and returned to England. In January, 1850, Mrs. Bailey insisted upon sepa rating herself from her husband. He escorted her to Marseilles, and she went to live at his villa at Rome. She continued to occupy that villa—the 1853 , occasionally visiting Vi Frascati,lla Strozzi—until Albano, end other places in the neigh bourhood. During those years she carried on an adulterous intercourse with Luigi Della Rocca, a resident at Rome. All that they knew about him was that he was a person " about town," so to speak, at Rome, and a Jew. Evidence would be given of familiarities between this person and Mrs. Bailey which would leave no doubt as to the criminal nature of their intimacy. Some of the evidence related to other persons, chiefly officers in the French army who had become acquainted with the respondent, and were frequently in her society, but he could not say that the evidence as to these per sons was of such a character that the Court would bn warranted in inferring that they had been guilty of adultery with her. The affidavits of Giuseppe Romano and Luigi Landolf were read to prove the marriage at Naples. The evidence of adultery was contained in tl. depositions of some witnesses who had been exa mined at Rome before Mr. Therry, under a com mission from this Court, in which the petitioner and the respondent joined. These depositions were very voluminous, and contained a great deal of irrelevant matter, but their substance may be shortly stated. The first witness, Felice Stella, had lived in Mrs. Bailey's service shortly after the separation from her husband. Mrs. Bailey was then staying at Albano, fourteen or fifteen miles from Rome. Luigi Della Rocca and a friend came to stay in the same house and slept there. There was a door of communication between their bed- Mrs. Bailey's room and that of N ina, her confiden tialrooms, and another door of communic a t ion between servant. Mrs. Bailey and Della Rocca used to walk and read together in the garden, and Stella had seen Della Rocca in Mrs. Bailey's bedroom at eight in the morning, when she w as makin g her toilette, and had a bedroom dress on. She never saw any lady visitors at Albano. A French officer also visited Mrs. Bailey, and Mrs. Bailey's sieter frequently stayed with her. Stella admitted that she had been dismissed on account of a dispute with her mistress about the supply of water. Vinceeza Sordine, who had succeeded Stella as Mrs. Bailey's general servant at Albano, proved that she once saw Della Rocca in her mistress's bedroom at seven in the morning, when her mistress had on a che mise, stays, petticoat, and a loose dress. They often breakfasted and dined together, but she did not see any familiarity between them. Nina was always present on these occasions. Giovanni, called "tile Turk," was also in Mra Bailey's service during the period to which this witness's evidence referred. Valentine Polombi, a coachman formerly Mr. Bailey's service, who .eft England and went into Mrs. Bailey's service at the Villa Strozzi in 185 s, proved that sae was frequently visited, both there and at Frascati, and at Albano, by Della Rocca and some French officers. Michelina Lollabettista and and Lorenzo, Lollabatsista, who had also lived in Mrs. Bailey service at different times between 1851 and 1853, the years in which the adultery was alleged to have been- committed, gave similar evi dence as to the visits of Della Rocca and the officers at Rome, at Albano, and at Frascati. There was at one time a dispute between the French officers, which was said to have arisen from jealousy. Two witnesses, Cesare Valentino, an advocate of Rome, and Michael Angelo Coetani, Duke of Sermoneta, had been examined to prove that it was contrary to the usages of society at Rome for a lady to receive a gentleman in her bedroom while sue was at her morning toilette. All objection was taken to the admissibility of evidence of this nature, and it was not read. The witnesses examined before the Commissioner on behalf of the respondent were Ignazio Silvestry, a sculptor, and Constantino Somaini, a painter, of Rome. Silvestry said that Della Rocca was a friend of his, and a painter. He had visited at Mrs. Bailey's, and there was generally an agreeable and merry society there of an evening, but he never noticed any impropriety in her conduct towards Della Rocca, or any one else. He added, that on occasions of festivity it was usual for ladies to re ceive visits in their bedrooms at 10 or 11 o'clock, but it was not usual generally, and he and the other visitors were not in the habit of visiting Mrs. Bailey in her bedroom. The other witness, Somaini, also said it was not the habit of properly educated per sons to receive visits !n their bedrooms. He never went to Mrs. Bailey's bedroom when she was dress ing, and he never noticed any impropriety in the conduct of Della Rocca and Mrs. Bailey towards each other. When the depositions had been read, Mr. Sergeant Shee asked his lordship to adjourn the case for further evidence in support of the peti tion upon the affidavit of the petitioner's attorney that he expected to be able to procure the evidence of a material witness. Ilis Lordship thought that the affidavit did not show sufficient ground for an adjournment, which might cause great hardship to the respondent, as she might be prepared with evidence in support of her recriminatory charge. Dr. Phillimore said he did not intend to call wit nesses in support of the recriminatory charge. His Lordship said that might alter his view of the case. He had supposed that the lady might have witnesses in attendance. He would take till to morrow morning to consider what course he should pursue. The trial was accordingly adjourned until to morrow (this) morning. IN TIIE GOODS OF BETTY FARADY, DECEASED. An application was last week made by Dr. Phil limore, Q.C. for probate of the will of Betty Faraday whose husband had deserted her in 1832, and who had obtained a protection order a few weeks before her death. This order had not been registered within 10 days after it had been obtained, in the manner prescribed by the 21st section of the Divorce Act, and the question was whether this omission invalidated the order so as to deprive the deceased of the right it would otherwise have given her to dispose of her property. His Lordship this morning said he had considered the question, and ho was of opinion that the grant might be made. ~----- POLICE INTELLIGENCE, Nov. 20. MARYLEBONE. Thomas Puzey, George Reeves, and Anne Collett, were placed at the bar before Mr. Yardley on remand, charged with rob bery, and also with the attempted murder of Mrs. Sarah Greeen, a widow lady residing at 5, Fulham place, Paddington. Mr. Venn, solicitor, of 3, New-inn, Strand, ap peared for the male prisoners. Inspector Braddick said he had only one addi tional witness to be examined. Miss Louisa Duffy was then called, and said,—l live with my mother at 27Victoria-plaee,Westbourne grove (the address given by Reeves). lam the daughter of the householder. Reeves lodges in the house. I know both of the other prisoners, whom I have seen at our house. I have seen all of them there together at one time. I remember the 24th of October, the time of the attempted murder and robbery. I then saw all the three prisoners at the house. They came in at different times. I mean the two men came in together and went out together. They left our house about 8 o'clock in the evening, after having been there, I should think, about an hour. The woman was there the same night. She came to the house about 6. •She went out again, as near as I can think, about half-past 8. She returned to the house again between 9 and 10. The two men went out before she did, about 8 o'clock. When the woman went out and returned again I am not aware if the two men returned with her. If they returned that night it must have been late. Reeves had one room in the house. When the male pri soner Puzey and the woman came to the house they all went to Reeves's room. I have seen all three together. They were all three in the room on the night in question. I cannot say positively whether previously to this I have seen them all three to gether. :Both the man Puzey and the man Collett have been to our house before this. I have seen Puzey in Reeves's room. On the evening of this robbery I cannot, from my own knowledge, say how Reeves was dressed. Ido not know whether the other man S had a hat or cap on, but I rather think he had. Inspector Steer, D division, produced a kind of rifle corps cap, with a peak, which was found at Puzey's lodgings. Witness would not swear to this as the cap. Puzey had then the same whiskers as he has now. Reeves had a hat on and a moustache. I saw Reeves on the following morning. Ho left about 10, along with Puzey. I saw them go out. I saw Reeves again three or four days after. He was only at his lodgings once or twice after, so that I cannot tell how long he wore moustaches after that. I saw Reeves again on the Saturday. The day of the robbery was Thursday. I cannot say when he called at our place, or if he had a moustache on. I did not see them come home on the night of the 24th of October, but I believe they did, as I saw them go out at 10 the next morning. I only infer from the fact of seeing them both go go out together. I saw the woman again on the following Saturday evening. She asked for Reeves, and I said he was out, and she went away. Mr. Yardley—Mr. Venn, have you any questions to put to the witness ? Mr. Venn—Only one, sir. What time do you say it was when Reeves left the house, and was Puzey with him. Witness --I believe it was about 8, and Puzey was with him. Inspector Steer said—l entered the house after the robbery, and picked up a life preserver, a mask, and a chisel. Mr. Yardley—We will take that statement upon the next occasion. Inspector Braddick said that the evidence ad duced was all he had at present, with the exception of Mr. Steer's. Mr. Yardley said the evidence was most impor tant, and that now he should remand the case till Wednesday next. WESTMINSTER —Mr. G. Bourehucalt, of No. 1, Lower-grove, Brompton, appeared to prefer com plaints against Marcella Dalton and William Quin, two servants in his establishment, for gross mis conduct. Complainant said that Dalton had been for some time nurse in his family and up to the present com plaint had conducted herself very well. She came home late on Tuesday night in a state of intoxica tion, and then wanted to go upstairs to take charge of a chilli 11 aiavntlis oia. I.lv cnacavUUred to re strain and appease her, when she set up a series of shrieks which disturbed and alarmed the whole neighbourhood. A policeman proved that he found her outside the house creating a great disturbance and incessantly ringing her master's bell: She was very drunk and refused to go away, although every opportunity was afforded her of so doing. Defendant said she was very sorry for what she had done. Mr. Paynter pointed out to her that her mis conduct had cost her her place, and, fur ther, that she might have much difficulty in getting another, as her master could not in jus tice give her a character with which any other person would willingly take her. In consideration of these circumstances ho only inflicted the penalty of 55., or seven days' imprisonment. The evidence against the man servant proved that, coming home drunk at one o'clock in the morning, he shouted, yelled, and made a great dis turbance. When turned out by his master he knocked violently at the door. Mr. Paynter repeated the remarks he had made in the former case, and imposed the same penalty. On Sunday morning, a destructive five broke out in the goods store of the Dublin and Glasgow Steam Packet Company, North Wall, Dublin. A large quantity of the goods stored in the premises was oither destroyed or damaged—the loss being estimated at between £9,000 and £lO,OOO.

(From an American paper.) The Fellner murder case promises to be as inte resting as the Burdell tragedy was a few years ago. The manner in which the murderers performed their bloody work, the amount of property involved, the fact of a pretty and designing woman being in the case, and the suicide of one of the suspected parties, all go to make up a most thrilling narrative of metropolitan crime. To-day we have to record another chapter in this extraordinary affair, which is nothing more nor less than the attempted suicide of Mrs. Marks, by severing an artery in her left arm. Fortunately the movements of the prisoner were detected in time, or the result would have been most damaging to the ends of justice. With out going into the details attending Mrs. Marks' attempt at self-destruction, we now propose to give a full and complete narrative of the whole affair, from the time of the arrival of the murdered man in this city up to the present time. We find that Sigismundliner, a citizen of Mayence, Grand Duchy of Hesse"Darmstadt, arrived in this port iu the steamship Bavaria about the 10th of October, and registered his name at the Prescott-house, in Broadway. On the voyage out he became acquainted with a very pretty Jewess named Albertina Phlaum, whose pleasing manners and personal charms soon rendered him an easy captive. It is true Feltner was a married man, and had left an interesting wife behind him in Ger many, but in a fatal moment he broke his marital vows, and allowed himself to be carried away by the fascination of Miss Phlaum. During his stay at the Prescott-house he was on intimate terms with the fair charmer, and visited her daily at the house of her sister, Mrs. Marks, No 45, Feist Broadway. Fenner was well off, with plenty of ready money in his possession, so he was welcome at Mrs. Marks's, During his visits he was indiscreet enough to mention the fact of his having some 38,000 dols. worth of diamonds in his possession, as well as 9,000 dols. or 10,000 dols. in cash. He stated that he always carried the dia monds and money about his person for fear of being robbed, and on one occasion he exhibited the whole of his treasure to the gaze of the sisters, Fellner was exceedingly attentive to Miss Phlaum during these visits, and made her many valuable presents in the shape of money and jewellery. Things went on swimmingly, and it was thought there would certainly be a marriage, when Fellner took a sud den dislike to the young woman and left off visit ing her. When Mrs. Marks heard of the estrange , , ment she started for the Prescott-house, and threatened to kill Fellner if he did not make an honest woman of Albertina. When confronting him she had a dagger in her hand, and so violent was she in her gestures that poor Fellner was scared to death almost. Finding that he was cor nered, he promised to make all the reparation in his power, at the same time secretly determining to leave the city rather than experience a second in• terview with Mrs. Marks. Through the advice of a young man named Ratzki, whose acquaintance he had made during his stay at the Prescott-house, Fellner ' started for Brooklyn on the 15th ult., and took lodgings at No. 4, Carroll-street, near Hamilton-avenue. There he remained for two days, when he disap peared, leaving behind him his clothing and bag gage. Aluch uneasiness was expressed by Fellner's friends at this sudden disappearance, and an anxi ous look-out was kept for newspaper paragraphs concerning drowned men. Nothing was heard of the missing man, however, until the 23d ult., when his body was discovered floating in the water near Port Monmouth, N.J. From the appearance of the corpse it was evident that decease had been foully dealt with. In the region of the heart there were no less than 19 stabs, seven of which penetrated the heart itself. Deceased's gold watch and chain, his diamonds, and all his money, with the exception of 110 dols., were found to be missing, and the natural inference was that the murder was committed from avaricious motives. It was not until several days had elapsed that the body was identified and the facts in relation to Fellner's cruel assassination be came generally known. It was Mr. Loewenthal, of this city, who first identified the body of the murdered man. He was an intimate friend of Fellner, and, seeing a paragraph in one of the morning newspapers in relation to the finding of an unknown man at Port Mon mouth, he repaired to the spot, d, stating that a friend of his had been missing for several days, requested to see the body. The authorities, who had removed the remains to Middletown, and preserved them on ice, readily granted his re quest. Mr. Loewenthal, on examining the body, at once pronounced it to be that of Sigis mund Fellner. The affair created quite an excite ment through Monmouth county, and every effort was made to find some" clue to the murderer, but in vain. No one in that part of the country had seen deceased before, and the coroner was compelled to give the case up in despair. Not so with Mr. Loewenthal, however. On his arrival back in New York, he procured the services of detectives Tieman and Farley, and expressed a determination to spare neither pains nor expense until the guilty parties were brought to justice. Of Fellner's intimacy with Miss Phlaum, Mrs. Marks, and young Ratzki, Mr. Loewenthal knew nothing. The deceased had never mentioned their names in his presence, or in any way alluded to them. The detectives made the discovery, however, before they had the case 24 hours. A pocket hand kerchief marked "Albertina Phlaum," found on the person of the deceased, afforded the officers the valu able information. Thinking that this might lead to something important, they preserved the hand kerchief, and upon their return to New York they instituted a vigorous search for Miss Phlaum. With no little sagacity they succeeded at last in finding the object of their search at the residence of her sister, in East Broadway. Mrs. Marks was present when the detectives entered the house, and acted so suspiciously that it was deemed prudent to take her into custody. Miss Phlaum was also arrested, and conveyed with her sister to the detectives' office, corner of Broome and Elm streets. A personal examination of the prisoners resulted in the discovery of a gold watch and chain upon the person of Miss Phlaum, and a thousand francs note upon the person of Mrs. Marks, which was evi dently a portion of the property stolen from de ceased. The prisoners denied that they had come into possession of the property dishonestly, how ever, and stated that deceased had made them pre sents of it. Upon inquiry the officers learned that the day after Fellner's disappearance Mrs. Marks, accompanied by young Ratzki, called upon the land lady in Brooklyn, and stated that she had been sent to get some papers which were in deceased's trunk. The lady, believing her story, allowed her to have access to Fellner's baggage, which was thoroughly overhauled. In a few days afterwards Mrs. Marks and Ratzki called a second time, and saying that her sister was about to marry Fellner, requested that the matter of searching the trunks should be kept a profound secret. The landlady promised to do as requested. and as a reward for her secrecy she received 2,000 f. The police were now convinced who the guilty parties were, and strained every nerve to secure Ratzki; but the latter got wind of the proceedings, and has managed to secrete himself ever since. They are quite sanguine of his ultimate capture, however, and calculate on arresting him before many days. The suicide of Albertina Phlaum, which occurred in the Fourteenth-precinct station-house on Satur day morning, formed the second chapter in the mysterious tragedy. Albertina was evidently afraid to face the investigation into the circumstances at tending Feliner's murder, and determined to com mit self-destruction rather than SUDralt to the slow ordeal of a trial. During her incarceration she ap peared cheerful, and no one had the slightest idea that the gay and laughing Albertina contemplated hanging herself. Mrs. Marks was not apprised of the tragic end of her sister until she was conducted to Bellevue Hospital, and shown into the dead-house. When requested to look at the corpse she readily complied, and gazed upon the palid features of her sister without the slightest emotion. She was then asked if she could recognise the corpse, when she coldly replied that she could, and said it was that of her sister. Subsequently, when the officers asked her if Aibertina was concerned in the murder of Mr. Fellner, she replied in the negative, and ex claimed " Oh, no! she was innocent." Mrs. Marks was then conducted to the Eighth-precinct station kouse, and placed in charge of a watchman, for fear that she too might commit suicide. It was very fortunate indeed that a watch was kept upon the movements of Mrs. Marks, or she, too, would have succeeded in destroying herself. Unknown to the police she managed to secrete a small penknife about her person, end on Sunday morning about 6 o'clock, while the back of the female attendant was turned for a moment, shod managed to sever one of the arteries of her left arm. She then covered herself with the bed clothes, so as to avoid detection, and lay down with the idea of quietly bleeding to death. Fortunately, however, the attendant dis covered the attempt in time to save the prisoner's life, and, a doctor being called in, the wound was bound up. She was quite feeble all day, but towards evening she was sufficiently recovered to converse with her keeper. She expressed great re gret at not having succeeded in her effort to commit suicide, and hoped she would soon be Lid beside her deceased sister. It is not likely, however, that she will be permitted to do herself any further harm, as a strict watch will be kept upon all her move ments until the investigation is concluded. The missing Jew, against whom suspicion is directed, is lit 25 years of age, and is said to have served as a private in the 28th Regiment of Brooklyn, under Colonel Bennett. He dArk- complexioned man, has short black hair and slit i - ht moustache, and has rather a forbidding countenance. That the fugitive was implicated in the murder of Feliner the detectives have little doubt. It is sup posed that he is concealed somewhere in this city, and that when his ready money gives out his friends will deliver him up. The large reward (2,000 dole.) offered for the apprehension of the murderer will have a salutary effect, and recult, it is hoped, in the speedy capture of the assassin. Likenesses of ltatzki have been forwarded to all the principal cities in the North, and nothing v.ll be left undone to bring the guilty parties to justice, so far as the efforts of our detective police are concerned. The officers are yet in the dark as to where the murder was committed, but they feel quite confi dent that it was not effected in this city. They think that the deed was probably committed on Staten Island, and that the body was cast into the bay from some point on the south side of the island. Time will develop° matters, and before the lapse of many weeks the whole affair may be made as clear as noonday. - _ EXTEN SIVE DESTRUCTION OF PRO _ TERTY BY FIRE. Yesterday morning a fire, involving a serious loss of property, and almost fatal consequences to several persons, happened in the wine and spirit vaults, known as the Queen's Head, be longing to Mr. Alfred G. Dodson, situate at 13,Little Poulton ey-street, Golden-square. The discovery was made by police constable N 0.163, of the C division. Smoke, which he saw pouring out of the bar-win dows, convinced him that the premises were on fire; and without delay he gave an alarm, but some time elapsed before he made the inmates sensible of their impending danger. At length, however, the pot man made his appearance at the attic window ; but no ladder or any other appliance being then at hand to render assistance, the man managed to crawl out of the window, and get upon the roof of the next house. He hardly got out of dangerwhen Mr. and Mrs. Dodson, after making several futile attempts to get to the top of the house, made their appearance at the second floor window and cried loudly for assistance. The liquors having by that time be come ignited, the casks exploded in rapid succes sion, and the flames were rising up the staircase, and, at the same time, filling each room with heated smoke. Just at this critical moment the Golden-square escape belonging to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Loss of Life by Fire came up, when another difficulty presented itself, for, owing to the signpost projecting so far, the conductor was unable to affix his machine in front of the building, and he was compelled to place the escape at the side. Mr. Dodson then lowered his wife on to the escape, and afterwards he was assisted by the con ductor and the police officer on to the machine, and both escaped uninjured; but had it not been for the timely arrival of the escape the inmates must have perished. Mr. Staples, the chief officer of the C dis trict of Fire Brigade, quickly attended, with the engines from King-street, Chandos-street, Crown street, and Wells-street stations. Plenty of water having been obtained from the mains of the Grand Junction and New River Companies, the firemen took advantage of the same, and having set their engines to work, copious streams were scattered into the blazing pile of premises; but they were unable to get the mastery over the conflagration until the bar, the stores, and ground floor were burned completely out, and the whole of the upper floors nearly burned out, and about half of the roof destroyed. The adjoining house, No. 12, let out in tenements, has also received serious injury by fire and water. The origin of the fire is unknown. Mr. Dodson was insured, but the inmates of No. 12 were unfortunately uninsured. A fire also broke out yesterday morning in the premises belonging to Mr. J. Fleming, carpenter, carrying on business in King Harry-fields, Mile end. The fire was discovered between 1 and 2 o'clock in the workshops. The engines of the parish and London brigade were quickly in attendance ; and a good supply of the East London Company's water having been obtained, the fire was soon ex tinguished, but not until the workshops were nearly destroyed. Uninsured. Other fires took place in Sun-street, Bishopsgate, and Barbican, but the damage at each was not con siderable. COUNIRY MARKETS. IA-• SHEFFIELD—Nov. 19.
