LONDON, THURSDAY, NOV. 5, 1863. In the powerful ruler of forty millions of men, the master of forty legions, who has this day spoken to all Europe through the address delivered by him to his new Legislature—Deputies and Senators waiting upon him to that end in the throne-room at the Palace of the Tuileries—it is no adulation, it is simply the exercise of sheer common sense, to recognise a great man in a great position. For more than ten years NAPOLEON 111. has reigned over France as Emperor. During now upwards of fourteen, during very nearly fifteen momentous years he has, under various titles, as President for four years, as President for life, as Prince President, and, finally, as Sovereign held within his own grasp the reins, directed with his own voico the policy, !I:constructed at his own pleasure the entire structure and machinery of the Government of France. He has himself conducted the armies of France—has himself in the field, and that again and again, led her troops to victory. He has always "ring these fifteen years presided, not nominally, I ' l4 Practically and actually, over the councils of his cabinet. He has himself conducted, through a s ue ._ — "inn of ministries, the delicate and intricate diploma qofFrance—mai^tainin un i nterr u ptedly, whereve r g it as been in any way practicable, as with "raelv ea t • - the revival ea that principle of peace which, before mot at t ia lle Empire, he proclaimed by a memo rable"ileaux would be the guiding prin ciple of its institotio ns- If Russia, if China, if Japan, if Alexi if kuatria reproach him with any violation of that memorable promi se , w e a t l eas t here in England ha ven o ... . reason whatever for doing so. In our regard, n regard to so many other contemporary Powete , as in re to g Portugal, to Turkey, to Prussia, to Sweden, to D enela ( r t e, l t a o eet: S eeedn p lii Spain, n inan , iiaattnerh t ydd uu hesitating I Y o . and, St a tes of North America —he has i w h a t is mor e , acinterr u f a ithful, to that f amous v assurance. Still to this day, in all the se instances, as in so many others here unenumerated, he has t promise to the v ery lett er been true to his " rempire c'est pals !" 'Wherev er panotie. undr able the sword has r emained _awn. Moreover, in the exceptional instances i n which the sword has b ee n drawn b y what appeared to him a dire necessity, never once in any of those instances before enumerated has the scabbard, so to speak, been thrown away. The reproach directed against him mor e that once, and from this side of the Channe l moreover, in reference to the greatest of the half dozen wars upon which he has adventured has been one of an entirely opposite character. He has been accused •--from this direction—more than once of an over r eadiness to bring those same wars to a conclusion. Ile it was who took the initiative in regard to the negotiations thet led to the almost abrupt termination of the Crimean war. His precipitancy at Villafranca afforded yet another, and a far more signal token of his placability in regard to the poser with which he had contended. England, least of all, among the nations of the globe has reason to charge him with the cherishing of hostile feelings, with insincerity in his fair promise at Bordeaux. :Among all the later Sovereigns of France he has been the faith fullest of all our allies, And this, mereover, in spite of how much provo cat i on, of provocations how d ea dly, how malignant, and how protracted! That t h er e have been these provocations , it will be suffi cient here to recall to mind two men wh o have earned for themselves, each of them, an unenviable notoriety by the virulen ce of the malignity with which they have in their seve ral wa y s, one through a great journal, the other throu g h a great book reviled Ihim in rhetorical Billingsgate—and this at an interval of ten years from each other—Mr. KING LASE a few months since in his spiteful hashing-up of old club•gossip, called a " History of the Crimean War"—his fraternal fellow-labourer of more than ten years ago being that now almost for gotten " Englishman" (shame be his for so dese crating the name) that now virtually dead and gone "-Englishman" who was allowed so long to shriek his revilings through the noble trumpet of the Times newspaper. The French EMPEROR, by his silence, his endurance, his calm and imperturb able maintenance—according to the fluctuations of feeling here in England towards him during the last fourteen or fifteen Teats of his power over France and in Europe, through all the variations of evil report and good report in his regard--the French EMPERO R, we say, by his calm and imper turable maintenance, -uninterruptedly to this hour, of the Alliance with England, has had his revenge, and a noble revenge it is, over a swarm of enemies. lunfortunate occurrence in th e county of Galway recentalwayhas called forth an expression of feeling, alike honourable to themselves and the Lord Lieu tenant, from the noblemen and gentlemen of that part of Ireland. It Was hardly to be expected that so marked an affront to the representative of her _ _ MAJESTY, as well as a direct personal insult to a peer universally respected for the courteous and gentlemanly manner in which he fills his distin guished office, would be altogether passed over by the notabilities of the district which has been made so unpleasantly conspicuous by an act whose ab surdity almost equalled its insolence. It will be remembered that the Earl of CARLISLE, while travelling through Galway, had occasion to pass by Maam, where he intended to remain a night at the end of the stage. Unfortunately the owner of the place is the Earl of LEITRIM, who, for some fancied affront to his dignity, cherished a bitter ani mosity against the Government. Why he selected the Lord Lieutenant as the victim of his wrath is perplexing, as he could be scarcely be personally answerable for the decisions of the other members of the Executive. At all events, Lord LEITRIM allowed his anger to hurry him to lengths that would have disgraced an ignorant peasant, by offer ing a direct affront to the dignity of the QUEEN, through her representative, and by so forgetting the courtesy due from one gentleman to another, as to put the Earl of CARLISLE in a most inconve nient and embarrassing position. Hearing of the Lord Lieutenant's intended movements, he de despatched strict orders to the landlord of the only inn in the place to fill the rooms with his tenants, so as to refuse the Earl ad mittance on his arrival. The letter was couched in the most stringent terms, and the landlord had of course no choice bat to obey. The plan, which had in it something of a schoolboy's silly trick, would have been carried out to the letter, only fortunately some of the police authorities were wise enough to hurry off an intimation of the state of things to the Lord Lieutenant before he reached Maam. The postboys agreed to make a further effort to push on another stage, and accordingly the Earl of LEITRIM must have had the satisfaction of learning from his tenant that no application had been made for the occupied rooms. It is to be hoped he paid the bill with a good grace. So silly and purposeless a trick would, of course, have been left unnoticed, so far as the Earl of CARLISLE was per sonally con cerned, but the Lord Lieutenant of Ire land could not in his official capacity pass over such intentional disrespect to the highest authority in the kingdom. Accordingly the Earl of LEITRIM has fresh cause for complaint in the deprivation of his Lord Lieutenancy of the county; and probably, should the Earl of CARLISLE trust himself again within his reach, he will devise some still more ingeniously annoying reception. The incident which has brought this affair again forward is the presentation of an address to the Lord Lieutenant, signed by seven peers, 20 deputy-lieutenants, and 98 magistrates of the county of Galway, expressing in the most decided and unmistakeable terms their regret and indignation at the recent occurrence. The address was transmitted to his Excellency by Lord CLANRICARDE, who assured him at the same time that if such proof of unanimity had been, re quired, it would have been signed by every land owner in the county. The address, brief as it is, leaves nothing to be desired. It remin is the Lord Lieutenant that the inhabitants of that country hive never been wanting in loyalty to their SOVEREIGN, and that whatever may be their personal or party feelings, they have never been suffered to influ ence the respect shown to the representative of the QUEEN. It adds that nothing in the acts of the present occupier of the office has afforded the slightest pretext for departing from this rule —a tribute eminently deserved by the Earl of CAR LISLE, whom all creeds and parties have united in admitting to be one of the most affable and moderate holders of a responsible and somewhat invidious post. The answer of the noble earl to this address is worthy of him. He expresses the gratification which he could not fail to feel at so public a testimony of the esteem in which h e i s held, and then he says in words which will at once pain and gratify every Irishman, that a want of hospitality was the very last contingency he had expected to encounter on Irish soil. It is to be hoped that the nobleman whose churlish con duct has given rise to this address will accept the reproof so pointedly conveyed, for having so far fallen short of the generous open-handed cha racter of his countrymen, whose faults, whatever they may be, have never been lack of ready kind ness and courtesy. The popular idea of an Irish man at home is the very essence of hearty and genial welcome, and one would feel more sure of a hospitable reception if entering un invited to share a dinner of potatoes in anlrish ca bi n th an i n i n t ru di n g into many colder, if w ea lthi e r abod e s.

How can we expect the lower orders to obey the laws, and conduct themselves decen tly and respec tably under English rule, when they see a noble man of high rank and distinguished pos iti on offer ing them an example to do the very contr ar y ? We are glad to see the long list of notable n ames append e d t o th e a dd ress , a f ac t w hi c h the Earl of CARLISLE may take as evidence of the esteem ill spired by his personal qualities and conduct, no less than as a tribute of respect to his office, and through that to her Majesty the QUEEN. It is always an advantage to find social questions put forward with clear common sense, and free from affectation and exaggeration. Thus the paper detailed Mi ss om e re F na a ithfull at Edinburgh furnishes us accountengoafg t e h d e . "unfitltis absurd r iwn e t which w con tradict the statements and satirise the proposals of would-be reformers when the case is clearly against them in point of argument. A favourite assertion is that women are better at home, and that their duties ought to be confined to their families. It is not the question if they may work, but that they must, and how are they to do so as profitably as possible. Great numbers have no homes to shelter them, no families to engage them, and of those who have they are compelled to contribute to the support and maintenance of their families. As affairs are at present arranged it results that thousands of females pursue kinds of business totally unsuitable for them, and which can but prove demoralising and degrad ing to glair characters. Again, in what are consi dered the legitimate spheres of toil fur women of the middle or upper-lower classes, what injury is inflicted on their health ! The close hours, the crowded rooms, and :the scanty rest, all tell fearfully against the health. It seems, then, a con tradition in terms for really well-meaning persons to declaim against the notion of females engaging in arduous and active:employments, when we are informed, on competent authority, that "striking examples are to be found among the occupations of women, many of which, though sanctioned by custom, are destructive alike to their physical and moral constitution." It is well to take note occasionally of some of these anomalies in our social system; and it cannot be entirely delusive to believe that there are within our realm Christian, wise, and kindly men to take up the subject in a right spirit, and to institute some reforms into a system that is now so deleterious to the health of the body and to the welfare of the mind. The facts here adduced by Miss FAITHFULL are enough to rouse indignation and awaken horror in the minds of all capable of appre ciating their importance and influence. For in stance, very lately, in Brecon, some complaints were made that the railway company furnished the coal very small, and the reply was that the cause proceeded from " women filling the trucks," but that men were in future to assist in lifting the larger lumps. There must be many employments more suited to feminine strength, and more con sistent with womanly dignity, and yet those unfor tunate beings are doubtless very glad to have recourse to this hard and wearying life to obtain the necessities of existence. In the district near Wigan, women are found working the canal boats, and even with the "boat-line across their shoulders drawing the boats." It is no longer a question of morbid sentimentality, nor of Utopian projects, when the civilisation of the nineteenth century can subject its women to such toil and drudgery. All these evils result from the plan of leaving things to take their chance. Instead of denying facts, the wise ones of our generation had better have acknow ledged them and provided for the emergency. If women are to toil for their daily bread, to endure exertion, and to undergo sacri fices for their maintenance, the claims of humanity, the voice of justice, and the decencies of society demand that the work should be such that the enlightened and considerate can honestly aver, in the sight of GOD and man, to be meet, right, and fitting. This vexed ques tion had better be simply resolved into the simple query of right or wrong ? If the exist ing state of things is not in accordance with right, it should be altered immediately. No comfort, ex pense, or expediency should be suffered to stand in the way of the reforms of radical evils and the rec tifying of social abuses. It cannot be impossible to find something for females to do that they may en gage in with ail their powers, without interfering unduly with work that they are not fit for, men tally or physically, and without being brutalised by tasks that disgrace themselves and degrade those who employ them. In the higher positions of society much might be effected to impart to females a more useful, and hence a more happy, existence; but that is not of such vital consequence in compa rison with the urgent claims of the poorer classes. Miss FAITHFULL truly states that the habit of treating women as " mere machines" has created many of the existing evils. It is not the custom to apprentice girls to any trade but millinery, hence they are confined, per force, to the coarsest and roughest branches. Let this subject at once engage the attention of all qualified to judge, and who are capable of rendering practical service in the cause. In the first place, instead of disputing as to whether women ought to work, let them decide in what manner they shall work. It was a divine command that bade man to toil, till he returned to the dust from whence he was taken ; but human readings of the command have necessitated that the burden should often be shared, if not entirely borne, by women in many cases. Work that is suitable for the sex, rank, and capacity of the worker, is one of the greatest benefits and highest blessings that can be bestowed upon humanity, and the happiest and liveliest method of rendering this sad and stormy life in any way peaceable or praiseworthy. But, then, moderation must be employed, and it will not do for those who rule the events of the day, and sanction the customs of society, to fold their hands and take their reat, when their verdict has sent forth women to do the work of beasts that perish, while men are idling away in effeminate pursuits. Nor yet can they lay claim to immunity when, in really feminine pursuits, health, life, and reputation are wantonly sacrificed. There must be some remedy for all these abuses and anomalies, and it is their duty, as it should be their pleasure, to seek it out, and apply it profitably when disco vered. So shall they meet the best reward that can crown all endeavours in minds at peace, and render a satisfactory account of their work and its issue to their country now, and to their GOD hereafter. THE PORTRAIT OF PRINCE ARTHUR (by Jan do Mabuse, A.D. 1501), son of Henry VII. and Eliza beth, daughter of Edward IV., has been recently discovered, and is now in that Prince's native city of Winchester. From pictorial history we find that Mabuse became one of the most famous portraitists of his time, and having assidu ously cultivated his rare talents by studying in Italy, was thereby enabled to first teach the Flemish masters how ti delicately treat in their compositions historical and allegori cal subjects. Ho gained great reputation from the portraits which ho painted while in England, by command of Henry VII. He was also highly esteemed by the Emperor Charles V., and in fineness of colouring and graceful delineation of costume he surpassed all his contemporaries, and his pictures are as highly finished as those of Gerhard Douw and Mieris. This portrait of Arthur is painted on a gold ground, and the ornate crimson robo,with the regal jewels in the cap and td t brorese held aa!,and the flower (doubtless emblematic of the whit e in the ch as t e ly-p a i n t e d r i g ht h an d , are exqu i s i tely executed, A N EWLY -INV ENTED P ROJECTILE has been re from cently an te orsdiene.ry New 'York, which, when dischar ge d 6-Pounder gun, pierced a target composed of 8 inches of iron, back ed the ch,tr,e by 4 inches of wood, at the dis tance of 90 feet, pro l j . ec ° ti f ie Powder being only 11lbs.

Constructed by Alexander Keith Johnston. Published by E. Stanford, 6, Charing-cross. Another of his magnificient series of library Maps—the most apropos of them all—has, in this superb publication, just now been issued from Mr. Stanford's Establishment. It is the fourth in sequence from the time when the series was com menced. In its dimensions it is precisely of the same size as its three predecessors—namely, that of sixty-five inches by fifty-eight. It is particularly noticeable, however, that while the superficial dimensions of these huge maps are identically the same, the scale upon which the four have been con structed within that framework of 65 inches by 58, has necessarily been very different. Whereas the scale of Mr. Stanford's Library Map of _Europe was one of 50 miles to the inch, that of Australia of 64 miles to the inch, and that of Asia of 110 miles to the inch—this new and, at the present moment peculiarly acceptable Map of NORTH AMERICA is constructed upon a scale of " eighty-three" miles to the inch. A variation of scales attributable, of course, to the relative geographical area of the four vast tracts of land requiring to be pourtrayed within the same rigidly prescribed outline of sixty five inches by fifty-eight. As with regard to the three preceding Library Maps, I. Europe, 11. Australia, 111. Asia, so also with reference to this IV. North America, the Library Map so announced may be procured, according to the fancy of the purchaser, for three guineas and a half, for three pounds, and for six pounds sterling, that is, mounted to fold in morocco case, mounted on roller varnished, and mounted on roller with patent spring. One of these forms enabling the map to be ranged with its fellows, as another noble volume upon our library bookshelves. The other forms adapting it, according to preference, either to occasional or to permanent display, upon the i walls, alls saywhether of library, office, , or schoolroom.of this immense and highly. elaborated map of North America that it is the noblest map of that vast con tinent that has ever yet been produced, , is to say of it, according to our belief (and reeollec tion), the simplest truth. When to the announce ment of the scale upon which it has been constructed, moreover, is added the intimation that the band, so constructing it, upon that scale, is no • other than the same master-hand by which the earlier maps of the series have been produced, the statement made in our last sentence might be regarded by many, and not unreasonably, as some what superfluous. The Editor of " The Physical Atlas" has taken his place permanently in the front rank, and at about the very head of that front rank of the most skilled and gifted among our modern geographers. And remembering that—knowing that perfectly well, as we do—our confidence in the accuracy and beauty of any new geographical work of more than ordinary importance and mag nitude, such, for example, as this very Map of North America, coming to us from the hand of Mr. Johnston, is attributable not alone to our ' recollection of what he has already done in this way ! It is attributable yet more to our sense of the fact that he has already done so much and so well that he applies himself now to the production of any fresh work of this kind, of more than usual magnificence, with a perfect consciousness on his own part that he has a reputation to sustain. The Editor of the " Ph ys i ca l A t l as "—th a t s up e rb illus trative comp an i on to the C osmos o f H um b o ld t, the Geograph y of Maltebrun, and the Siluria of Murchison— as a mere matter of course, cannot b e expected by any, even the minutest proportion, to advance or elevate the reputation acquired for himself by that magnum opus—which must always be regarded as his undoubted masterpiece, for he can hardly be expected to surpass it. By an obvious necessity, it would be a thing quite imprac ticable for him to surpass it by any one isolated map, even by a map upon the magnificent scale and noble dimensions of the library series of which this very map now under consideration is the latest instalment. The utmost we could rationally hope for, would be, what is certainly here recognisable upon a careful scrutiny of Stanford's New Library Map of North America—namely, that by this one isolated performance Mr. Keith Johnston still does veritably contrive to sustain his reputa tion l That reputation acquired for himself steadily and progressively during the last score of years by so many chartographic works of real and oven exceptional excellence, but moat of all, as already intimated, by what is incomparably, and must always remain, his greatest work—" The Physical Atlas." Never, by possibility, could any map of North America appear at a time at which it would be likely to prove more welcome. This crisis of the great civil war now raging between the Fede rals and the Confederates—constituting of itself for such a publication what we might almost call a wonderful " puff preliminary," blown through the war trumpet. There are other questions, moreover, besides that of the momentous alter native now being fought out upon the soil of the once United States, the alternative of re- Union or of permanent Severance—questions con tinually directing the attention of thoughtful ob servers in Europe, to a more and more careful scrutiny of some reliable map of North America. Several among the more remarkable of these same difficult and complicated questions relating to North America, the prospectus issued with this Library Map has thus happily summarised : " What to do about telegraphic communication via Behring Strait versus Greenland ; or the Hudson Bay territory—or Federation and Confederation— or Abolition of Slavery—or Overland Transit be tween Canada and Vancouver—or Mexican diffi culties—or the various projects for rivalling the Panama Railroad—wherever the mind is directed on this great continent, some great movement is found to be claiming attention." And it is in the midst of the everyday discussion of these all-im portant subjects of international solicitude that Mr. Stanford's Library Map of North America now makes its admirably well-timed appearance. A map of North America upon so large a scale had latterly, moreover, become nothing less than a ne cessity. It was a want quite as much as it will (now that that want is supplied) ba found to be a luxury. No General Map of North America upon a very large scale was anywhere to be turned to, except one so old as almost, one might say, to be obsolete. As it has been here produced at length, with Mr. Stanford as the publisher and Mr. Johnston as the geographer, it will be all the more clearly recognised, the more carefully it is studied, as a work of the very highest class—a map for which every student of modern history will be grateful , more particularly such as come practically under that denomination as diplomatist or administrator, as journalist or as statesman.

Their royal highnesses were received at the sta tion by Lord Harris (the deputy-chairman of the company), by Sir Cusack Roney, and others of the directors, and by Mr. Forbes, the general manager of the company. On arriving at Dover their royal highnesses em barked on board the Breeze, a new steamer belong ing to the company, which had been specially en gaged, and started for Calais. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Prussia. Their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Prussia, attended by the Countess Hohenthal, the Count Furstenstein, and Captain Leucadon, left Edinburgh • on Tuesday night for Sandringham, on a visit to their Royal Highnesses t)_-.0 Prince and Princess of Wales. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Prussia left the Northbridge Station of the Scottish North-Eastern Railway at 10.15 on Tuesday night, proceeding by the Scotch mail train. Shortly after leaving Edin burgh the train had a narrow escape of an accident, as a goods train had got off the line, and a portion of the footboard of the composite carriage containing their Royal Highnesses' attendants and servants was broken off in the attempt to get past. For tunately the train was going at very much slackened pace, or it is impossible to say what the result would have been. The train containing the royal party was delayed some hour and a half or two hours by this circumstance. This episode of the journey over, nothing further occurred deserving mention, except that the train, which was due at Peter borough at 7.40 a.m. yesterday, did not arrive till 9.30 a.m. Their royal highnesses breakfasted at the Great Northern Hotel, Peterborough, and subsequently walked from the hotel to the cathedral dur ing the time of morning service. As their royal highnesses entered the building the " National Anthem" was played on the organ, the service being temporarily suspended for that purpose. They were received by the bishop of the diocese and escorted over the cathedral. The ancient monuments and objects of interest were pointed out, and their royal highnesses stood for some minutes over the simple marble slab which alone marks the spot where the unhappy Queen of Scots was interred after her execution at Fotheringay. Oa leaving the cathedral their royal highnesses entered the bishop's palace and there partook of refreshment. On their return to the station a large crowd followed at a respectful distance and cheered most heartily. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess left Peter borough at 11.30 for Lynn, and thence to Wolfer.. ton, where they arrived at 1.25, and were met on the platform by the Prince and Princess of Wales, attended by Major Teesdale. Their royal high nesses proceeded to Sandringham in a waggonette drawn by a pair of greys and driven by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. It is expected that their royal highnesses will stay a week or a fort night at Sandringham. Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, who left London on Friday last, arrived at Darmstadt on Saturday afternoon, after making a short stay at Alayence. Her Majesty yesterday afternoon honoured the Duchess of Hamilton (nee Princess Marie of Baden) with a visit at Hamilton House, Arlington-street, Picca dilly. The Queen remained an hour on her visit of condo lence to the Duchess, HER MAJESTY, it is rumoured, will ba present at Coburg on the 26th August, 1864, to witness the unveil ing of the statue of the Prince Consort. _ The Duchess (Dowager) of Sutherland is daily improving in health. Yesterday the Queen paid a visit to the duchess at Stafford House The Marchioness of Kildare and Lady Blantyre are staying with the duchess at Stafford House. The Duchess of Hamilton (née Princess Marie of Baden) and Lady Mary Hamilton will leave town to-day for Brighton, to pass the winter. The Countess of Ellesmere and family are staying with the Hon. Octavius and Lady Caroline Duncombe. The countess is expected to leave early in the ensuing month for Rome, there to pass the winter. Viscount Palmerston arrived in town yesterday from his seat, Broadlands, Hants. _ _ Lord Chesham, who has been seriously ill for some time, is now, we are informed, in a fair way of recovery, The Right Hon. Sir Charles Wood and Lady Mary Wood have left Howick Hall, Northumberland, where they have been visiting the Earl and Countess Grey, for Hickleton Hall, Yorkshire, • Sir Henry and Lady Sophia Des Vceux have left town to visit Lord and Lady Londesborough at Scarborough, Yorkshire. The Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mre. Gladstone are expected in town, to be present at the Lord Mayor's banquet on Monday next. THE COUNT AND COUNTESS DE CHAMBORD have returned to Frohsdorf from Upper Austria, where they have been visiting the estates bequeathed to the Countess by her uncle, the Archduke Maximilian. The Coant and Countess will remain at Frohsdarf till about the middle of December, when they will, as usual, go to Venice. THE VALUE OF THE VOLUNTEERS—as stated by Lord Brougham, when proposing the health of the "Army, Navy, and Volunteers," at the Presidential Din ner of the National Social Science Society, Edinburgh.— Though there is every reason to count on a lasting peace, there is no reason why the precaution of insurance ought not to be taken. When a man insures his house he does not expect a fire, nor even that such an event is probable, He knows that a fire may happen from the negligence of the people in his own house, or of his neighbours, or by acci dent of lightning, and he means to take security against that happening. Now the volunteers, and whatever else we do to improve our national defences, are an insurance, but they are an insurance far superior to insurance against fire, for when I insure my house against fire. I do not in the slightest degree lessen the chances against the fire hap pening; but improving our national defences not only secures us against loss by i nvas ion, but it makes it kes very unlikely that that invasion should take place. It is therefore an insurance of a double value, because it,not only prevents loss when the mischief happens, but it tends to prevent the mischief from happening. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. THE ALEXANDRA CASE- THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. SELLIM AND OTHERS. (Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron, Barons Bramwell, Channell, and Pigott.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said this case was an infor mation arising out of the seizure of the Alexandra on the sth of April, for a violation of the Foreign Enlistment Act, and he now humbly moved their lordships to show cause why a new trial should not be granted on the ground of misdirection on the part of the learned judge, and also on the ground that the verJict was against the evidence. Baron BRAMWELL said that in order that there might be no mistake about the matter, he wished to know whether the Attorney-General simply moved for a new trial and abandoned the bill of exceptions. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that was the case. Baron BRAMWELL wished it to be understood that the Court must take the Lord Chief Baron's own version of his direction, and that no appeal would lie except upon a matter of law. If it should be the opinion of the Court that there was no misdirection, but that the jury might have acted upon some wrong opinion, and granted a new trial, it would not be competent for the defendant to appeal. But if the Court refused the rule it would not be competent for the plaintiff to appeal. It was very desirable that these three things should be well understood :-Ist, that the plaintiff abandoned the bill of exceptions; 2d, that the Court would take the Lord Chief Baron's own version of his direction; and 3d, that there would be no appeal from the decision on either side except on a matter of law. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he would proceed to state how the information arose. The information was filed on the 28th of May, and there were 98 counts, a number which was rendered necessary by the complicated structure of the Act of Parliament on which it was founded. The infor mation charged various persons with a violation of the 7th section of the Foreign Enlistment Act. Those persons were Messrs. Miller and Co., the builders; Messrs. Faucit and Co., the manufacturers of the machinery, who came for ward as the claimants ; Messrs. Frazer, Trenholm, and Co., the general agents of the Confederate States; Captain Bul lock, who was the special agent of the Confederate Go vernment, a person named Teisser, who was employed in that business, and several others unknown. Separate counts were founded upon the 7th section of the Foreign Enlistment Act, which stated that if any person in the United Kingdom or in his Majesty's dominions beyond the seas shall equip, furnish, fit out or arm, or attempt to equip, furnish, fit out, or arm, &c. Now their lordships would find that the plaintiff, while charging, equipping, or fitting out, did not charge arming. The LORD CHIEF BARON—That was the great point on which I was doubtful. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL thought the learned judge in his summing up overlooked the provisions of attempting and endeavouring, and addressed himself to the complete equipment and fitting out in the sense which his lordship considered those words ought to bear. He would now come to the evidence which was given at the trial, and would show how it would bear upon the Act of Parliament. When the Court considered the evidence in connection with the direction, he thought the jury would find that the jury had no opportunity of giving a verdict upon those points; the matter having been left to them on entirely different grounds. First, he would direct their lordships attention to the evidence of Mr. Barnes. who was an engine •driver in the employment of Messrs. Barnes, and he stated that he had been concerned in the yard in building three gunboats, the Atrato, the Penguin, and the Steady. He was asked whether he recollected the screw steamer Alexandra being there, and he said she was like the other gunboats, only smaller, Then came Mr. Spears, who was an agent of Messrs. Faucit, who claimed the vessel, and who received orders to take the machinery to the gunboat. Then there were Mr. Black, a ship carpenter, and Mr. Green, a ship builder. They stated that the bulwarks of the Alexandra were not those of a merchant vessel, on account of their extraordinary strength and height. Those bulwarks would be worse than useless except for a vessel of war, and that to a merchant vessel they would be an absolute incum brance. They stated further that the Alexandra had pitch pine decks, a wood which was only used for war vessels. Then came Capt. Englefield, who was a very high authority on these matters. He expressed his opinion that the Alexan dra was not fit for mercantile purposes, and that she was easily adaptable for a vessel of war. She had accommodation for the men and officers of a man-of-war, and only steerage room for a crew of 32 men. Ile stated that she was not capable of being used for mercantile purposes because she had not sufficient stowage. This was the evidence as to the structure of the ship, and he would now proceed to that part of the case which related to the furnishing, equipping, and fitting, out as distinct from the structure, He held that it was utterly unimportant whether they were war like equipments if ho showed that the vessel was intended for warlike purposes. He thought that a great fallacy had run through the argument, and that if he proved the intent and purpose of the vessel it mattered not what were the nature of the equipments. The learned gentleman proceeded to ana lyse the evidence bearing on the question of equipments, showing that they were essentially of a warlike character, although he did not rely upon that point. These equip ments, ho contended, were unequivocally connected beyond the possibility of doubt with the ship itself, and he should now proceed to refer to those parts of the evidence which showed the contemporaneous preparation by the Messrs. Faucit, who claimed the ship, of three guns and carriages just of the character which Captain Englefield had said would be necessary for the Alexandra. (The learned gentleman read the evidence of Robinson, Carter, and others, who were en gaged in the construction of these guns and carriages.) It was open to argument whether those guns and gun car riages were unequivocally connected with the vessel, but as to the other points he held that there could not be any possibility of doubt as to the connection. He now proceeded to the evidence having reference to the intent and purpose of the Alexandra. The evidence stood thus. It had been proved in a manner which he should have thought clear be yond the possibility of doubt, and it was wholly uncontra dieted, that these things were done under the superinten dence and with the interference of the persons who were proved to be agents of the Confederate States for the purpose of their war service. They were Captain Bullock, who was specially sent to this country to organise the means of carrying on war on the seas as an officer of the Confederate States. Then there was Mr. Hamilton, who was another officer of the Confederate States, who was obviously em ployed for like purposes. Then there were Fraser, Tren holm, and Co., who were named in the information interven ing with the construction of the ship by one of their agents, and at whose office was the seat of the agency of the Confe derate States, who conducted their pecuniary business, and through whom the officers of the Alabama and other vessels which used and abused the neutrality of this country were engaged, and by whom those agents were paid. Then they had the direct admission of Mr. Nutter, the builder, that the vessel was being built under a contract for the Confederate States, and to be employed in the belligerent service. The learned gentleman proceeded to examine the evidence of Mr. Clarence M. Young, acting assistant paymaster of the Confederate States Navy, who deposed that he made pay ments in Liverpool to persons acting for the Confederate States, having derived his authority from " J. D. Bullock, Commander of the Confederate States Navy." He made requisitions to Captain Bullock for the amount of money be required for his payments, and then Captain Bullock gave him orders upon Messrs. Fraser, Trenhohn, and Co., frcm whom he received cheques. This witness was very strictly cross-examined by Mr. Kerslake, and it was shown that his morality was not altogether unimpeachable. It ale. peared that while he was at Liverpool he formed a connec tion with a black woman, who passed as his wife, and that he deserted her under circumstances which he (the Attorney- General) did not pretend to justify. This black woman had a black boy, and the man Young, who, according to his own statement, was " raised" in Georgia, suggested that a little money might be made of the little black boy, and that he might be sold. It was not the intention, as had been alleged, of the Attorney-General to whitewash this witness who spoke only of the liters seripta and the res gestce of certain persons, and which were accredited by documents which had been produced, and to which no objection of any kind had at any time been made, He spoke as to simple facts. In England we had. liberty and did net sell either white men or black, but the witness Young came from a country where such things existed, and a man brought up in an atmosphere of slavery, and who was engaged in burn ing up merchant vessels on the high seas,would scarcely be expected to have very tender feelings. In America this person would have been a very good witness notwithstand ing hisblackboy, for in that country they did not allow either black men or black boys to enter the witness-box whatever might be the extent of the evil complained of. Therefore the eloquent vituperation in which Sir Hugh Cairns indulged in reference to this witness, was quite beyond the mark. They wanted nothing from Young but to prove the a gency of Bullock, and that he very clearly established. Then another witness named Chapman was called. He entered ha th ve e service of Messrs. Frazer and Trenholtn , pretending of the Southern syrepathietewhereas his views were in o favour Northern moment justify States, aco irse which he did not f justify ; but this witness also proved certaintranur transactions e w a i m t h e uowßullockto the about evidencewhich there which o h n e n d b ed ez o tc, . n ai o pr s d t i s n pu ß te u o dispute.

He contended thattheevidencedeissee gentlemen,losealae num ber of single acts performed by these which, taken by themselves, were not of great importance. but which, when viewed in combination, showed a common object with regard to the matter now under considera tion. A person named Da Costa was examined, and stated that Mr. Miller, the builder of the Alex andra, had stated to him that she was a gunboat, and that he, i n conjunction with Faucit and Co., was building the Alexandra for Frazer, Trenholin and Co., the agents for the Confederate States, for the service of those States. In the cross-examination of this witness nothing was elicited, either with regard to his testimony or his manner,pine ab ythe whichthat shook his credit the least in the world niess H e e x submittedla upon that uneontradicied evidence, u manner in which they were directed, the jury have found a verdict for the Crown. OA the ktuanniug up the jury had no option but to find as they did, whereas the evidence clearly entitled the Crown to a verdict. The learned counsel pointed out at some length the nature and object of the Foreign Enlistment Act under which these proceedings were taken. The LORD CiIIFF BARON said one of the great objects of the Act was to prevent any hostile vessel being fitted out as to make a pert of this country the point of discharge. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said that did not appear to be the view of the Lord Chief Baron, as shown on the short hand writer's notes. His lordship seemed to imply that a vessel might be constructed Messrs. Faucit's yard, for instance, for the Fedora's, and one in Mr. Laird's yard for the Contederrhtes, and that as soon as they got out they might engage and endanger the public peace. The LORD CHIEF BARON said that might be one of the mischiefs that would arise. The ATTORNY- GV. , iERAL thought that such a mischief never entered the mind of any human being, The LORD CHIEF BARON —Not only is it not impossible. It is a fact—it is true. The Court adjourned shortly after for refreshrutnt.. On the learned Judges taking their seats, the Lone CRIEF BARON addressed the Attorney-General and said they had considered the wetter while out of court, and they were agreed that from what had been stated there was mat ter fit to be discussed. You may, therefore, take the rule on the terms announced. If It was desirable to put it shortly on the ground of misdirection or of incompetent direction, you could do so. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that would not be war • ranted on the ground of misdirection by himself, or on the ground that although there might have been no positive misdirection, yet there was a want of information as would enable the jury to form a proper opinion. He might take a rule. THE LORD CHIEF BARON—Perhaps you had better take it on the terms I mentioned. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that was exactly what he had been asking for. He had no more to say. Rule nisi granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SCENE AT A CAFE —ASSAULT BY GENTLEMEN 05 A REFRESHMENT HOUSEKEEPER.—Mr. John Cellars, of 10, Sussex -terrace, Camden-town, gentleman, and Mr. Richard Dixon, of 3, Bayswater-terrace, Bayswater, gentle man, were charged before Mr. Knox, with behaving in a disorderly manner at the Cafe Riche, 226, Piccadilly, and assaulting Mr. John Nicholls, the manager, and William Smith, the waiter. Mr. Nicholls said that half-past two that morning his attention was called to the door of the cafe by hearing the waiter say " You can't come in ; we are just closing," On going to the door he saw the two defendants struggling to force their way in, the defendant Cellars thrusting his umbrella at the waiter, and saying that for two or three years they had wanted to serve him (Mr. Nicholls) out. Cellars then said that ho was Captain Gordon, of the 16th Lancers, that he would kill a dozen such men as the waiter, and that he was -if he would not be served. Cellars then caught hold of his (Mr Nicholl's) collar, and bumped his head against the door-post, the defendant, Dixon, at the time pushing the other defendant in. In answer to Mr. Knox, the complainant said the de fendants were both drunk. Win. Smith, waiter at the Cafe Riche, said that on telling the defendants he could not admit them, they pulled biro about, tore his coat, and nearly drove him through a pane of glass. The defendant Cellars acted like a madma l3 9 said he was Captain Gordon, of the Lancers, and that be would fight witness, or anybody else. Cellars asked the waiter whether he did not hear hinl abused, and the waiter said ho did not. Harn, 344 A, having given evidence, Cellars admitted taking a glass, but said the account of the assault was exaggerated, but there was no doubt 1 30 had taken a glass too much. Dixon said he might have been a little more elevated than usual. Mr. Knox said he did not sympathise much with nigh t " house keepers in the Haymarket, bat at the same time there must not be breaches of the peace. Why did the defendants not go away when they were refused admissioa r Dixon said he wanted to reason with the landlord. Mr. Knox—What I a drunken man reason. Cellars was then fined 205,, or 14 days, and Dixon Ns.) or seven days. THAMES. A VlRAGo.—Elizabeth Reed, a very disorderly ari d drunken woman, 30 years of age, was brought before 3 1 r• Partridge charged with assaulting and wounding Elizabet h Williams, who came into court with a surgical bandag e round her head. Her clothes were stiffened with blood. The complainant said that she had a quarrel with the prisoner some time ago, and had forgotten all about it. This morning at 1 o'clock she was standing at her door , and the prisoner came up to her and said, "I'll have sa ne faction," and struck her a tremendous blow on the forehea d with a tea-cup and knocked her down. She was seriously wounded, and her head was dressed by a surgeon. Timothy Cox, a police sergeant, No. 45 K, found the complainant bleeding profusely from a wound on her fore head. On taking the prisoner into custody she offered hint a bribe to let her go. Both women lived next door to each other in Palmer's-folly, Ratcliff-highway. Mr. Partridge sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for one month and kept to hard labour. BURKE T S-- This Day, MARK-LANE.
