The augmentation has been most P e rceptible on beer and ale, cotton yarn, cotton ma nufactures, earthenware. haberdashery, and mil linery, hardware and cutlery, linen yarn, linen ma nufactures, metals, and woollen and worsted manufactures. The importations of the principal articles were larger as respects live animals, raw cotton, hemp, provisions, sheep and lamb's wool, "gee) sugar, tea, tobacco, and wine. The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in the tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United I C-ingdom, both for the entries inward and the clearances outward, while a similar result is also 4PParent in the coasting trade for the same period. It is stated that the directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company will recommend the following pay ments to the shareholders in their an nual report, viz. —Dividend, 31 per cent. ; additional payment, 2 per cent.; and distribution from under- Writing account, 11 per cent.

STELLA COLAS.—This young ant gifted a3tress, whose performance of Juliet at the Princess's Theatre was so attractive a few months since, is pursuing a auccessful career at the Michael Theatre, St. retereburg. Naval Notification by the Polish Govern- went, The following circular has been ussued by the Polish Government : WARSAW, NOV. 9, 1863. The captain•general hereby informs the mer chants of neutral powers that on the Ist January, 1864 (new style) he will open hostilities against Russia. From that date, and in conformity with the dispositions of the treaty of Paris with reference to naval hostilities, all ships and vessels under the Russian flag are declared lawful prize ; but the Polish navy will always and everywhere respect the , rights of neutrals, and the captain-general hereby solemnly engages to do so, in the name of the Government and of all who have adopted its flag. For it is not a war of piracy which he declares against Russia ; it is a regular war, made in the name of a people regularly constituted, and under the authority of a power emanating from and sus tained by the national will. The Polish sailors will use the rights of belligerents, and will respect the obligations which that title imposes, while knowing how to make them respected with regard to themselves. It battle, m o might in t order nevertheless tnhappen that duri ng a baensure the safety o f P o li s h h vessels, it will be necessary to drown or burn i przes without its being possible to exami ne th e papers on board and distinguish the int eres t s o f neutrals from those of the enemy. This is a danger which inevitably results for commerce from the chances of war, and the captain-general hastens to point it out, in order to prevent its occurrence, by inviting all insurers, shippers, merchants, &c., of neutral States to abstain from loading and insuring Russian ships in future. The captain-general finds it for the present im possible to address this manifesto to regularly esta blished Governments, but he is confident that merchants will see in the publicity he gives to this manifesto a certain guarantee of the straightfor wardness with which he carries on the struggle. He has been enabled to act for several months, and as a proof of this it will be sufficient to recall the recent and fortunate expedition he directed on the coast of Circassia. But he has not wished to do anything in the dark, for by so doing he might have compromised the interests of neutrals and the flags of ships under his command. If he has thought it his duty to wait, he now declares it his luty to act ; and in conclusion he again begs to state that he has fixed the Ist of January next as the date of the commencement of hostilities. The Captain General of the Naval Forces of Poland, AIAGNAN. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 21 per mine pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.30 per .£1 sterling on comparing these rates with the En g lish Mint price Of £3 I7s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appe,a- that gold 18 nearly 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices fromilamburg the price of gold is 9.25 a per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.5 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English MiPtlirice is, therefore, about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at GO days' sight is 15)4 to 160 per cent., and the premium on gold is 45i to 451 per cent. At these rates there is scarcely any profit on the importation of gold from the United States. 60 65 34 36 THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EV 1-.AING, NOVI:AMER 28,. 18G3 LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. - - DIVORCE COURT. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) BURNETT V. BURNETT This was a part hcard ‘ case, in which the wife was the petitioner, and there was no defence. The prisoner originally prayed for a dissolution of her marriage on the ground of adultery and cruelty, but not considering the evidence sufficiently strong to establish the first allegation, she obtained leave to avtend her petition, and prayed only for judicial separation. It appeared that the marriage was solemnised in 1851, and the parties resided in Duke-street, Bloomsbury, where the respondent was is business. The last act of adultery alleged was in 1855, but the parties continued to live together in the same house subsequently, and from this fact the judge considered there should be some additional evidence to shew that there was no condonation,.and ordered the case to stand over. Witnesses were called to show that the respondent ad mitted ho had not lived with his wife for a considerable time previous to 1855. It was further proved that the re spondent had committed acts of adultery as late as 1862, and it was further elicited that during the cohabitationffe was guilty of conduct which amounted to cruelty. The Judge-Ordinary said that a great portion of the evi dence was of a character that the court viewed with great distrust, namely admissions. However he considered there was evidence sufficient to prove the petitioner's case, and if there had been condonation the respondent revived his original offence by his subsequent misconduct. Mr. Inderwick, who appeared for the petitioner, applied to the court for leave to amend the petition and again pray for dissolution of marriage on the additional facts elicited. The Judge Ordinary retused the application, and made a degree for judicial separation, and directed that the peti tioner should have charge of the:children till further orders. PRITCHARD V. PRITCHARD AND WILLIAMS. This also was a part-heard case, in which the husband prayed for dissolution of marriage. The parties resided at Pembroke and afterwards at Chatham, the petitioner holding a:situation in the dockyard, and the co .respondent a master mariner. Whilst residing at Pembroke they lived opposite each other, and an intimacy sprung up between them ; but shortly after the removal of the petitioner and his wife to Cheltenham the respondent eloped with the co-respondent, and they were afterwards traced to a house in Camberwell. The case stood over for further evidence, and this having been supplied, his lordship granted a decree nisi, The, Alleged Manslaughter in a Music Hall. Yesterday, at half past 12 o'clock, Mr. H. PS,. IValthew, deputy coroner, held an inquiry at the Garrick Tavern, Leman-street, Whitechapel, respecting the death of Thomas Bonn, who IVIIB killed in an affray with a vocalist at Wil ton's Music Hall, on Wednesday night. Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely -place, appeared on behalf of the prisoner, Peter Melloy. The case excited much interest amongst the habitues of the Music Hall. The first witness called was .111r3i. Elizabeth Bunn, the widow of the deceased, who ap peared ov 6 rwhellnect with grief. She said that she resided in St. Mark•street, Whitechapel. Her late husband was a North Sea pilot, and was 49 years of age. On Wednesday evening witness accompanied him to Wilton's Music Hall to hear the music. Ho was perfectly sober when he went in, but witness could not say that he was quite sober after wards. They went to the hall at 8 o'clock. Ho had three pints of ale with witness. There was a fight in the back part of the hall. The deceased was rather excited at the singer coming on to sing a third time. The people had encored him, and the deceased did not like it. He called out to the singer, " Shut up." He made use of no other language, but he called out that three times. Deceased and witness were then about to leave, and to do so they had to pass the stage. When passing it deceased said " shut up" again. Mr. Melloy, the singer, then jumped from the stage and struck deceased somewhere about the head. He struck deceased twice with his fist. Deceased did not return the blow. He fell, and witness believed he died immediately. Deceased in falling did not strike his head against any thing. He clutched witness's arm. Several persons called out for a cab, and the deceased was carried to one. She was certain that ho was dead when he was put in the cab, as when she put her face to his lips they were cold, He was carried to his house. By tho Jury— Generally deceased was a sober man. He did not know the singer personally—he had no animosity against him. Witness believed he never saw Mr. Melloy before. Ho was an excitable man. In the Music Hall witness called out several times for a doctor, but the people around said, " Take him into the air—he will be all right directly." Witness never heard her husband say to the singer, " Come down, and I will fight you." Mr. Lewis said he would rather not cross-examine the witness, as she was the widow.

WOOD proposing " The i Liberal Members of the House of Commons," Mr. C. BUXTON, M.P., replied, and observed that the history of Liberalism during the lust 250 years divided itself into three great epochs. In the first of these the whole heart and soul of those who were Liberals in fact, although not in name, were ab sorbed in the strife against despotism, and in build ing up the great fabric of constitutional liberty. In the 18th century, owing mainly to the incessant wars in which England was engaged,searcely a step on wards was made, and the reaction from the French Revolution, and the tremendous wars which it pro duced, dashed aside every thought of political pro gress and reform. It was not until the peace that the second great epoch. of Liberalism began ; and vast was the work which lay before it, for during the previous 100 years the British Constitution had become narrowed into little more than an oligarchy. The landed class had gathered all power into its hands; Liberalism had to break down this narrow and pernicious system, and the victory which it gained transferred the dictation of the national po licy from a single class to the whole people. At the same time, the repeal of the Test Acts and Catholic Emancipation, the great principle was enforced, that every man should be wholly free to worship God in his own Way, without any interference what ever from the State. Then there seemed to come a Conservative reaction. Lord Melbourne's Govern ment fell, and the Tories came into power. But in reality this was but a pause in which the Her addressing hi mse lf to ouni was ours. lie had s l a i n the Nemean a c u n l o e t s h e o r f or L h i i b s e i r a a b lis lion of despotism; he had cut off the heads of the hydra of oligarchy; he had now to cleanse the Augean stables of abuses and grievances accumu lated daring 150 years. This was the third epoch of Liberalism, but it was not of such thrilling interest or such splendid triumphs, as Liberalism had now to carry freedom into the details of daily life, to cut the mischievous shackles which checked the development of trade and manufactures, and, in the words of the poet, " To scatter plenty o'er a smiling land." (Cheers.) A new policy was inaugurated with re gard to the colonies, and we gave them the bless ings of political and commercial freedom, which we had painfully won for ourselves. The work of Liberalism was now to a great extent accomplished —for although there were some evils to be remedied. ,bey were trifles compared with the grievances o former days. Liberalism was now pausing, and once again we heard of a Conservative reaction, but we were now passing into a fourth epoch, in which it was of the highest moment that we should adopt a Liberal instead of a Tory policy. Within the last 30 years the establishment of railways, steam shipping, and telegraphs, the expansion of trade and the increase in the power of the Press, had brought about a mighty change not only in the policy of England but also of Europe. Every year Europe became less and less a mere aggrega tion of separate nations. Every year it became more and more an organised whole, each member of which throve or suffered with the rest—a common wealth of nations in which every thought and feel ing of the one thrilled to the hearts of all. We were now accordingly driven to dwell more and more on the dealings of England with other nations ; in fact our relations with other countries had by degrees become the one paramount topic to which the statesman's mind had to be ap plied.

The court was occupied the whole of the morning with the examination of Dr. Andrews, one of the defendants. He said he entirely agreed with Dr. Frazer that the plain tiff disliked everybody and everything, that she was un cleanly, and refused to take any medicine, and that the treatment her case required was all that was done for her. The case will not be concluded to-day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY A HUSBAND ON HIS WIFE. — Thomas Haddin, a morose and determined looking fellow, aged 46 years, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with assaulting his wife Henrietta. The complainant's face was terribly disfigured, and her eyes ivere swollen and blackened. This was one of the most aggravated cases in the annals of wife-beating. The unhappy couple have been married 24 years, and have been lately dwelling at No. 2, Thomas-street, Commercial-road East. The prisoner is a tobacco pipe maker. He has been frequently charged with assaulting his wife, and punished for so doing. On one occasion he was sentenced to three months' imprisonment for a violent assault upon her. Repeated punishments had no effect in checking his brutality. This morning at ono o'clock he came home intoxicated, bringing with him a disreputable strumpet, and on the door being opened he turned his wife out of the house, and told her he had brought home her mistress. The wife forced her way into the house again, on which the prisoner beat her in a savage manner over the head and face with his clenched fist. Blow after blow suc ceeded each other, and the unfortunate creature bled pro fusely from the nose and mouth. She was covered with blood. George Vincent, of Pla'stow-marsh, Essex, said—l was passing the end of the court named Thomas-street this morning, and heard cries of "Murder," and "Police." The prisoner opened the street door of his dwelling, and struck his wife on the mouth, and again on the nose and head, and also kicked her. The wife forced her way into the house again, and directly afterwarde I heard the noise of a most tremendous blow, When the wife came out of the house again she was a frightful sight. She was covered with blood and amid not see out of her eyes. I heard the prisoner say, " You go out, I have brought home my mistress, and don't want you." Samuel Rawlings, a police-constable, No. 116 A, said he found the complainant on the ground exhausted and bleeding from the nose and mouth. She was carried to the station house, and was very weak and exhausted. The pri soner was taken into custody and said he had had three months' imprisonment, and did not care if ho had eighteen months. The prisoner, in defence, said his wife was a drunkard, and he could not live with her. The wife admitted that she had taken to drinking too much at times. Her husband had driven her to drown her sorrows in intemperance. Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner was a savage ruffian, and ought to be the last man to complain of any intemperance on the part of his wretched and ill-used wife. The pri soner was a drunkard and a savage, and had the audacity to bring home an abandoned woman as well as himself, and turn his own wife out of doors. He never met with a more unmitigated ruffian. He sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. Some of our popular authors would do well to imitate the unostentatious manner in which Mr. Westland Marston has brought forward his new play "Pure Gold," now performing at Sadler's Wells Theatre. The author has depended upon the intrinsic merit of his composition rather than tho immense posters and preliminary puffing which usually herald the first representation of " a new and original drama," and a success as genuine and unmistakeable as the play deserved has been the result. In " Pure Gold" Mr. W. Marston has departed from his usual style of writing, and, in the present instance, he tells his tale in prose, enriched in numerous instances with an ingenious "and happily expressed metaphor of the most t ru thf ul and ennobling nature. " Pure Gold" differs essentially from the gifted author's former productions, " The Patrician's Daughter" and "Anne Blake,' in both of which there was a want of sustained interest that the most graceful, poetic, and refined language could not outweigh ; and although every person could not but admire the elevated thoughts in those two plays, clothed as they were in the moat glowing language, both failed to maintain a position on the stage, owing to the absence of the one essential element. The four acts into which the new drama is divided, combined, tell a very effective story, abounding in strong situations, and one which maintains the interest unflaggingly to its close. In the first act, or perhaps we should say prologue, we find a certain Mr. Langley, a civil engineer, with his nephew, Frank Rochford, and his young wife, at Baden-Baden ; and, at the same time, amongst the visitors, there happen to be Sir Gerard Fane, a spendthrift baronet, and Miss Forteseue. Langley unfortunately cannot withstand the temptations of the gaming -table, and, having already lost a con siderable sum, he ventures to entrench upon money he had determined for another and better purpose, in the hope of regaining that which he had pre viously lost. This also he loses, and, in his despair, Langley hints that there has been more than chance in his ill-luck, and this remark provokes a quarrel with two political emissaries, both of whom waylay him in a wood and compel him to fight a duel, in which he is mortally wounded. The nephew, who has previously been despatched by his uncle on a mission to procure more money, and to whom he has given a diamond ring, passing near the spot is startled by the sound of pistols, and, fearing the worst, he seeks his uncle and finds him mortally wounded. The police arrive just as the poor gamester dies, and Frank Roch ford is arrested as the murderer; his situation, the diamond ring on his finger, and other unfortunate circumstances, all tending to confirm their suspicion. Fifteen years are supposed to elapse, and the second act opens at the house of Miss Fortescue, near Dover. Here we learn that Frank Rochford has been condemned to imprisonment for life on the charge of robbery, escaping the scaffold only for th e prison, that grief has killed his wife, and their child Evelyn has become a dependant on the bounty of Miss Fortescue. Evelyn has been kept in ignorance of her father's fate, and we find her on the point of marriage with Gilbert Brackenbum the son of a poor but proud gentleman, her kind pro tector having endowed her with a large fortune, The dowry attracts the attention of Sir Gerard Fane, who for sundry weighty reasons finds it necessary to marry a lady, possessed of money of course, and accordingly he lays siege to the lady's heart. Annoyed at an imagined coolness in Gil bert's manner, Evelyn flirts a little with Sir Gerard, and this only serves to increase his desire for a marriage with the wealthy orphan. Rochford, through some noble exertions made at a conflagra tion of the prison in which he was incarcerated, is pardoned and set at liberty, but the fact that his innocence has not been clearly esta blished, and the loss of both wife and child, still presses him down. H e arrives at Dover to under take the care of a pupil whom he has been engaged to instruct in drawing, under the assumed name of Vernon, and while in the gardens of Miss Forteseue, he encounters Sir Gerard. The pupil, Vernon knows to be his own daughter, and his indignation is fired when he discovers the object of Sir Gerard. They meet, and to the misfortune of Vernon, the heartless libertine threatens to discover hi m to his own daughter as a convicted felon, and t o t h e authorities as an escaped convict, in the event of his refusing to aid him in his schemes to marry Evelyn. This hurries on the father to discover himself to his child, when Rochford tells his own history to Evelyn as an imaginary one. Th e daughter listens attentively, and at length nature penetrates the veil of mystery, and Evelyn s i n k s fainting into her father's arms. The baronet, foiled in his attempt to gain the fortune of Evelyn, reveals the position of Rochford to Gilbert Brackenbury's father, the marriage is broken off and villany seems to be triumphant; but, thanks to Lancia—a noble and brave refugee, who was at Baden when Lang. ley was murdered—the stain that rested upon the name o f Rochford is removed, Evelyn marries Gilbert, Miss Fortescue bestows her hand on Lancia, and Sir Gerard Fane, baulked and defeated in his villany, in course of time, we suppose, either has to surrender his precious person into the custody of the. sheriff, or take the benefit of the Act. Many of the situations in the drama have been arranged with the utmost dramatic skill; for instance, the meeting of Vernon with Sir Gerard Fane, and, best of all, the interview between the almost heartbroken father with his unsuspecting daughter. And the embodiment of the author's idea was most effectively realised by Mr. Henry Marston and Miss Marriott. Her conception of the part was correct, almost faultless, and her acting was marked through out with tenderness and emotion. Mr. Marston pourtrayed the innocent but strongly suspected father with all that emotional passion which is the great distinguishing feature of his acting, and Mr. Edmund Phelps as the roue, Sir Gerard Pane, proved most unmistakably that he has studied hard, and, we must add, successfully, to improve his abilities as an actor. Mrs. Bucking. ham White as Miss Fortescue acted with her usual excellence, giving the satirical hits of the character with the utmost keenness and polish. The trifling part of the Italian refugee, Lancia, was well sus- Mr. by M r . W. D. Graham, but of th e other performers we cannot speak in complimentary terms, and therefore pass them over silently, We have to congratulate the management on the determination and spirit already evinced, and sin cerely trust that Miss Marriott's effort to restore Sadler's Wells to its former reputation may be crowned with success. The marriage of Rear-Admiral the Hon. Charles G. J. B. Elliot, C. 8., brothor of the Earl of 111 into, with Miss Blackett, daughter of Sir Edward Blackett, Bart., will take place the week after next.

We had seen during the last few years Italy rise from her ashes, and organise herself into a first-class constitutional monarchy. The whole Liberal party of England looked on with heartfelt sympathy and delight, and the remonstrances of England induced Napoleon to withdraw from Gaeta, and allow Naples to become one with the kingdom of Italy. Yet the Conserva tive party, in both houses of Parliament and in the Press, could not help displaying its profound dislike to this great movement. Again, with regard to the tremendous strife in North America, nothing could exhibit greater divergence than the views taken of that struggle by the English Liberals and Conser vatives. It was true, that with some exceptions, both English parties had disapproved the conduct of the North. The Liberals had condemned the attempt of the North to subjugate the South, partly from a love of peace, and partly because they considered it a crime to thrust upon a nation, at the bayonet's point, a Government which she ab horred ; but the Conservatives had sided with the South, partly from a delight at seeing a Republic torn asunder, partly from a notion that the South was more aristocratic than the North, and partly because slavery was not looked upon by Conserva tives with that detestation which it kindled in the hearts of all true Liberals. Again, with regard to Prussia, every Liberal in England had looked with indignation on the endeavour made by the wretched King of that country and his creature Count Bis mark, to crush the freedom of the Prussian people; but the Tory Press gave Count Bismark all the countenance it dared to bestow, and actually offered the Prussians its solemn advice not to resist the beneficent intentions of their patriotic King. One would have thought that no Englishman could have looked at the infamous atrocities of which Russia had been guilty in Poland and not sympathise, heart and soul, with the helpless Poles; and yet, incredible as it might seem, even there the leaning of the Tory party towards despotism made them sympathise rather with the oppressors than with the oppressed, and the Tory papers were filled with every tale which could be scraped together to the discredit of the Poles. He considered that England should do to foreign nations as she would have them do to her, and that in dealing with weaker and less civilised n a ti ons s h e s hould exert as much self-control as if treating with great European nations, for, as Shakspeare said— " 0, it is excellent To have a giant's strength; but it is tyrannous To use it like a giant." Whatever course might for the moment appear to gratify our irritation, cupidity, or pride, in the long run it must be the prudent as well as the noble policy cf England to be always found just, g ene _ rous, and humane.
