Sir,—ln recognising with gratitude the very able and just statement of my oase in your article of this morning, will you allow me a short space to correct an error which most Englishmen, together with yourself, would naturally fall into, viz., that the decision of the three law lords is final ? Such is not, however, the case. A Scotch declarator of mar. riage is proved by " writ or oath," and the one may follow upon the other. The next legal step, therefore, to be taken in Scotland is a reference to oath of parties, until which process shall have been gone through the opinions of their lordships in this country will not be ratified. In other words the High Court of Session in Scotland will not " extract judgment." Bad the House of Lords, at the request of my counsel, the Lord Advocate, granted the judicial examination, then the judgment, as you truly state, would have been final, be cause both methods of proving marriage would have been exhausted. As it is, the reference to oath is competent. Perfectly agreeing with you that it can be no satisfaction to be the wife of Major Yelverton, yet the nature of the ac tion brought against me and the defence set up in answer to mine are such as to deprive me of honour and fair fame, un less I succeed in establishing my wifehood. The very peti tion of the action is such as to indelibly brand any woman against whom it should be granted. Against such a sentence I have struggled for six years, and probably may for six more, if life by litigation is not stunted. You will also allow me to remind you and the public that the verdict of a jury confirmed by four judges is still unannulled in Ireland, and that by the laws of my church I am Major Yelverton's wife, and during his life can never be another's. Such, I beg to submit, is my actual position, and to do what is right and best in it is my sole and earnest prayer —I remain, sir, yours truly, THERESA. YELTERT ON. 29, Cambridge. terrace, July 29.

THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, SIX O'CLOCK. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF DIVORCE. ( e'efore a Special Jury.) CODRINGTON V. CODRINGTON AND ANDERSON. This was a suit instituted by Admiral Codrington for dissolution of marriage on the ground of the wife's adule tery with the co-respondent, Colonel David Anderson, of the 22d Regiment of Foot, who denied the charge. The respondent, in addition to denial, pleaded that if she had committed the ad u lt ery it had been con doned by the misconduc t of her husband. Adultery was also charged with a Lieutenant Mildmay, but ho was not made as co-respondent to the suit. There were two children the issue of the marriage. No damages were asked for by Admiral Codrington. Mr Bovill, Q.C., Mr Serjeant Ballantine, and Dr Spinks appeared for the petitioner ; the Queen's Advocate, Mr Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Inderwick for the respondent; Mr Price, Q C., and Mr Swabey for the co-respondent. The marriage took place on April 9, 1849. at the British Embassy, Florence, as Mr. and Mrs Smith, the lady's parents, were residents there. There are two daughters by the marriage, eleven and twelve years old. The co-respon dent is colonel of the 22d Regiment, and Lieut. Mildmay is in the 3d Battalion of the Rifle Brigade. Mr Bovill, in opening the case, said that he should not have to trouble the jury with any account of the first seven years of the marriage, which had passed in a flow of unin terrupted kappinees. Its first check was in April, 1856, when Admiral efedrington was ordered to the Crimea, but in leaving his wife. he gave her a companion of her own choice, Miss Emily Faithfull of tho Victoria Press, and they lived at 10, Taviton-place, Rassell-square. On his return in August some minor elements of disagreement arose between them, but it was not suggested she was guilty of any serious derelic tion of her duty. In the spring of next year Miss Faithfull was still staying with her friend, and Mrs Codrington, actuated by some freak, insisted on sleeping with her, and leaving her husband's bed. The admiral appealed to her parents, who at once came and inquired into the case. At the instance of Mr Smith, Miss Faithfull was ejected from the house, and a parcel, sealed, was deposited in the hands of Sir William Codrington, for the purpose of justifying his brother, the admiral. That seal was still unbroken, and it would lie with the discretion of the lady's counsel whe• ther it would be broken or not. The petitioner, in 1858, was appointed superintendent of the dockyard at Malta, and the parties lived in the official residence attached to that post. Their habits of life, however, were not congenial, and Mrs Codrington often stayed late at balls and the opera, whilst her husband went to bed. But a gondola was always kept waiting for her to carry her across the harbour from Valetta, and the officers, amongst others Anderson and Mildcaay, often escorted her home, During her stay at Malta he was in a position to prove circumstances fraught the gravest suspicion. On one occasion, after the admiral was in bed, she desired the maid to let down the bar of the back door, as she particularly wished to see Col. Anderson, and when the maid declined to do so she did it herself. Again, after an entertainment in May, 1863, given before their departure to the officers then in Malta, the respondent and the colonel were seen at midnight in an outer yard bye policeman under circumstances which, if true, were scarcely compatible with her innocence. On their arrival in England they went to stay at Hampton Court, and afterwards took a cottage at East Moulsey. Anderson immediately appeared, as was shown by entries in Mrs Codrington's diary. From this date down to October, in spite of her husband's remon strances, as was learned from the same source Col. Anderson was a fiequent visitor. He in that month went down to Scotland, and amongst Mrs Codrington's papers, found in her desk, and taken possession of by the admiral's legal adviser, his direction, 'I St. Germain's, near Berwick," was discovered. But beyond this, in the same depository, a draft of a letter had been lighted on, in Mrs Codrington's handwriting, evidently written to Col, Anderson, and in answer to one from him announcing the fact that he was going to he married to a cousin. It contained these pas sages—" What can I say to your letter? Again and again I have read it over to see if I clearly understood it. You tell me you are engaged to your cousin. . . . Surely before you entered into such an engagement you were bound in all honour to write and tell mo of the changed state of your feelings. . . I cannot believe the feel ings of the two last years can be obliterated in so short a time. Let me beg of you solemnly, by all you hold sacred, by the true-hearted affection I have for you, by the memory of the past, think well before you bind your self for ever." The letter further solicited a farewell in terview at Taviton-street, her friend's house. Did this look like innocence ? What had a married woman to do with true-hearted affection for another? The petitioner's suspicions were at last aroused, and he set a watch upon his house in Eccleston-square, to which they had now returned. The Ist of November was a Sunday. The admiral went to church in the morning, and no sooner was his back turned than Colonel Anderson oame to the house, and stayed there tftrough most of the morning ser vice, and going away by a by-street ho net the injured hus band face to face. On the following day he sent to his wife dinedo, t G.,, to say ho should not return that day. Left to herself, in the evening, after paying a visit to Miss Faithfull, s h e drove about 8 o'clock to 43, Pall - mall, where the c o lonel lived. He joined her, and the y went to the Grosvenor Hotel, where they stopped till 12 . She then walked h o me. I n the diary occurs this p g 2, evening—Saw E. (Emily Fetthfu The question with re ference to Mr Mildmay was an episod e i n th e s t a y a t M a lta. Mrs Codrington , in Ma y , 186 0, took a trip into Piedmont lio; afterwards te s r a lv e ar t— ds passage:—`Nov. v a with her parents, and was followed by him. At Cormayeur they stayed in the same hotel, and Mrs Codrington was in the habit of sending letters to him from her bed-room, till the maid refused to take any more. At the St. Bernard hospice their rooms were Opposit e, and in the night she disappeared from her room, where the maid was also sleep ing. The learned counsel concluded a long address by in veighing in forcible language against the pleas put on the record by the respondent; and called General Sir Wm. Codrington, who deposed to the receipt of a packet from the petitioner's father, and to the general kindness of the admiral towards hi s wife, G. Duck--I was in the service of Admiral Codrington in 1856, for six years at 82, Eccleston - equare, and at Malta. I knew Lieutenant Mildmay ; he used to visit often. He often came home with Mrs Codrington late, She used to come by the boat. The admiral had often gone to his room. Sometimes Mildmay came into the office, which had been made a sitting-room. There was a screen there before the door. They were sometimes without lights. I remember one day, about 12 p.m., towards the close of 1860, Mildmay was with Mrs Codrington. I saw him in the passage with his arm round her neck. I thought h e was gone. One afternoon about three I saw Mildmay go to my mistress's bed-room door. I did not see him g o in. The door is in a recess. A did not see him go away, The Gondola used occasionally to get out of trim when my mistress and Mild may were on board. It was difficult to row, and the boat man made me stand the other side to keep the balance. You cannot see persons inside. They often came back very late. One day Mildmay came I heard kissing on the basement. I saw Mrs Codrington come upstairs afterwards. I heard her say " There's some ono there." I picked up a bit of velvet on the spot next day. I left in July, Is6l. I have been in my present place as butler for two years. Cross-examined by the Queen's A dvocate—This first time was in 1860 or 1861. I don't kn ow the month. I was after a party at Mrs Lee's. It was late; the city was all closed. I said nothing to the admiral or Mrs Codring ton. I first mentioned it this year. I told Mr Bird. I told him that I thought Admiral Codrington must have known of it. The gondola went out of trim on two occa sions. It takes eight minutes across, in fine weather, with four men. It was smooth those times. I gave the velvet to the lady's maid, Lydia Clarke. Mrs Codrington often complained of me. I left of my own accord. Re-examined—l said that about the admiral because he has eyes as well as I have. I thought he must have noticed Mildmay's coming too often. Sarah Nichols, a servant, deposed to travelling in Pied mont with the respondent and her parents ; to their having met Mildmay at Cormayeur; to his going into her bedroom once when she was in bed, and to his having operated on a blister on her foot, and to habits of general intimacy. It appeared, however, in cross-examination, that she had a jacket on in bed, and the witness had told the attorney, Mr Few, that she never saw any impropriety between Mrs Codrington and Mildmay. Robert Rivers, lately in Mr Mildmay's service, deposed to Mrs. Codrington's having visited his master's quarters in Fort Ricasoli, alone, about six times, in the afternoon and evening, about five or six o'clock. The case had not concluded when the Court rose. The hearing of this case was resumed this morning by the examination of John Crocker, a cab driver, who had watched Mrs Cod• rington, by direction of the Rev Mr-Watson. lle said—l saw the lady riding about Loudo n a nd Hampton -court. On one occasion in November, 1363, I saw ter l eave Taviton street and a gentleman joined. lie was about 40 years of ago, which agreel with the description given of Colonel Anderson. Ile did not know for a fact that it was that person. Crows-examined by Mr llhwkius, left Hampton Court on the 11th of July. Between that time and the 16th I was to watch Mrs Codringtcn. I did so whenevar I had an opportunity of seeing her. I did not have intE•rviews with Lady Boucher, Mrs Watson, and Admiral Codrington day by day. Mrs Codrington went out frequently, and I followed her. She could not go anywhere but what I fol lowed her, She did not know 1 was watching her. I nearly always gave my reports to Lady Bouctae'r• Sometimes I gave a report to Mrs Watson. To Admirt'l Codrington I have given a number of reports. 1 left off on the 25th of July last, because I did not think I was wanted any longer. I watched at Hampton-Court and Eccleston-square, and then the lady came to London. She then went to Sunderland House, Surbiton. I was not at Wimbledon to watch her. I returned to what I considered a distasteful business. I returned to it because my feelings were appealed to. (Laughter.) Before I commenced n. y watching I saw Lady Boucher. I cannot recollect whether Mrs Watson was present. I watched ➢lrs Codrington from the 4th to the 11th of September. I then gave it up because it was an unpleasant piece of business. Upon my oath I did not leave because I could discover nothing. Nothing whatever was discovered during the time, which made it all the more unpleasant to watch. (Laughter.) On the 31st of October I received a letter from Admiral Codrington, and I went to see him on the fellowing day at half-past 8 o'clock (Sunday). I did not know Col. Anderson, but Admiral Codrington had told me he was in town. I was tc watch him. I saw him with Admiral Codrington afterwards. The admiral shook hands with him, and they appeared to be on good terms,. There was nothing like quarrelling. They shook hands at parting. I watched the house that day near Eccleston-square until 3in the afternoon, when I saw Mrs Codrington come out. She drove to the east end of Eaton square, where she got out of the cab, but I lost view of her. This occurred in consequence of her getting out of her cab before I got out of the one I was in. I thought she might have gone to church, so I remained till the service was over, but I did not see her again. I was to be succeeded by a man named Topp, but I did not know him. I went on duty the following day because he did not come. 0 n the Monday I saw her leave Eccleston-square, but I don't know whether the admiral was then residing there. I watched her to a house in Taviton-street. I cannot give a description of the gentleman I saw get into the cab. I could not even see his face. He was a tall man about 6 feet in height. That's all I can say about it. I followed the cab to the Grosvenor Hotel. I was but a short distance from the door when I saw Mrs Codrington's cab stopped. I cant say that a gentle man entered this cab. I know I followed a cab in which I supposed Mrs Codrington was, but it passed the admiral's house in Eceleston-square. I thought I was wrong. Mrs Watson, when ahe engaged me to watch, did not give me directions how to set to work. All she said was that it was an honourable occupation. I know of Mrs Codrington's desk being taken from Eccleston-square. I was outside the house when the desk was brought by the lawyer's clerk. I took it to a house in Chester. square. I saw it again in the house about an hour after. Admiral Codring ton, Mrs Watson, Lady Boucher, and I were present. I don't know whose house it was. The desk was forcibly broken open in the parlour. I had my share in this trans action, but I suppose I had got hardened to a distateful work. (Laughter.) I took the papers out, and they were looked over by all. The desk and papers were afterwards taken to the lawyer's office. Re-examined—On one occasion I watched Mrs Cod rington from Hampton Court to London. On arriving in town she entered a cab, which stopped at Simpson's, in the Strand. A. message was lent in, and the cab then drove to Half Moon-street, Piccadilly, and to Spanish place, Manchester-square. I saw her on another occa sion enter Ford's Hotel in Manchester-street, Man chester-square, and after remaining there for two or three hours she left, unaccompanied by any person, and left London by train for Moulsey, where she was residing. By the Queen's Advocate—lt is quite possible Mrs Cod rington might have only stopped. Frank Stubb, porter at 43, Pall Mall, said—ln October or November of last year Col. Anderson was stopping there. A lady has called upon the colonel several times, but she never entered the house. I recollect on one occasion a cab calling, in which there was a lady. Col. Anderson got in and it drove off. It was the same lady that used to call, It was about this time that Col. Anderson left the hotel, as it was said he was going to get married. _ _ _ By the Queen's 4.dvocate—l cannot say positively whether it was either October, November, or December. I am sure it was before he went away to get married. William Topp—l am employed by solicitors to make pri vate inquiries. I knew Mrs Codrington. On the 2d of November I saw her toms home alone, on foot. I can't say from what direction she came, as she came from behind the position 1 had taken up. When she got in the gas was turned off. By the Queen's Advocate—l am what you would call an amateur detective. We charge 9s. a day. I can't toll how I first became acquainted with her. I suppose somebody told me it was her. I asked a girl who sells fruit in the street, who the lady was, and she told me. I had a carte de visite given me of the lady. I watched Mrs Codrington for 20 or 30 days and nights. I commenced in November. The circumstances that were to intimate to me that I might give up watching for the night was that the gas in the hall of the Admiral's house should be put out when the lady arrived home. Mr Birch told me the Admiral had arranged that as a signal. Mr John Anderson, second cousin of Colonel Anderson— I know the lady the Colonel has married. The ceremony took place at St. Germans, East-Lothian, in the August of last year. The writing on the small piece of paper, viz., "Yours truly, D. A.," to the best of ray belief is in the handwriting of the Colonel. Colonel Anderson is now at Malta with his regiment. Mr Bovill hero put in the diary of Mrs Codrington, found in the desk when it was opened in Chester-square. Several the letters were read which related to visit of "D. A." and other engagements. A carte de visite of Mrs Codrington was also handed in, and Topp, in answer to questions, admitted that he had never seen Mrs Codrington in the dress she was represented, but he knew it was her portrait, as she was a remarkably fine woman, and there could be no mistake about it. (Laughter.) General Codrington also identified the por trait as that of Mrs Codrington, who, he said, was a person of lively and sprightly disposition. Her manners were not that of a foreigner rather than that of an Englishwoman, although she had long resided in Florence. She was free, ladylike, and agreeable. Strutt, the porter at 48, Pall- Mall, also identified the portrait as that of the lady who used to call on Col. Anderson while he resided at the hotel. The Court then adjourned till Monday. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE RAWLINGS-THE LITERARY GA.ZETTII. The bankrupt was a clergyman at Merstham, Surrey, and was formerly proprietor of the Literary Gazette journal, and to-day was appointed for last examination and discharge. Mr Brough appeared for the assignee, and said that h• was instructed that all the creditors had been applied to, and none having expressed any desire to oppose, the assignee, who was also a creditor, and had been appointed by the largest creditor, did not offer any opposition to the bankrupt passing or having his discharge. Mr Commissioner Goulburn said that it was a very sad case—hers was a clerical gentleman coming before the court owing upwards of £2,090 without a shilling of assets. Mr Reed said it was deeply to be regretted that such was the case; but in 1860 the bankrupt unfortunately pur chased the Literary Gazette, but in less than 12 months he found it to be a failure, and he lost all that he had investei. His Honour said that it did not appear by the accounts that the bankrupt ever had any capital. The bankrupt said he lost £l,OOO of his own money. Mr Reed said that out of the £2,000 debts now standing most of it was from friends who did not press him ; pro bably £2OO would be an excess of debts recently contracted. His Honour said he hardly knew bow to deal with such casesovhen educated persons came before the court and could give no account of their affairs; ought they to fare better than ignorant and uneducated men, who pleaded their ignorance as an excuse ? Ho thought that for the bank rupt's own sake he ought to file a fuller account ; but as no creditor opposed, the discharge would be granted. YE CUDDEN.—EXTENSIVE FAILURE IN THE IVINE TRADE. This bankrupt was a wine merchant in Great Tower street, and this was a meeting for choice of assignees. From the: statement of Messrs, Hart Brothers and Hayles, wh o had been engaged in the parliamentary investigation, and now appointed accountants to the estate, it appears that the total deb!s and liabilities amount to £20,000, to be met by good debts and property almost to the same amount. The Turkish line-of-battle ship Paiki Nurset, Capt. Arif Bey, bearing the flag of Admiral Edham Pasha, which was towed from Spithead to Southampton on Tuesday afternoon by her Majesty's steamer Lucifer, is now in dock at the latter port discharging her guns, anchors, and other heavy materials, preparatory to her going into the large graving dock. The Paiki Nusret is an entirely new vessel, built under the inspection of the Turkish Government at their dockyard at Constantinople. She has come to this country for the purpose of receiving her machinery. She carries 34 68-pounders on the lower deck, 42 32 -pounders on the upper and main deck, and two 81-pounder carriage guns. The Mayor of Southampton (Mr G. S. Brinton) paid the Ad miral a visit on board the frigate on Thursday, and cor dially welcomed him to the port. In accordance with instructions received at headquarters of the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, a number of trained nen-commissioned officers and men have been selected from the various companies on the home establish ment to proceed to Persia, for the purpose of being employed in laying down the overland telegraph from the Ited Sea. through Turkey and Persia, to India. The non-commis sioned officers and sappers of the Royal Engineers already engaged in the undertaking, under the command of Colonel P. Stewart, Royal Engineers, have proved insufficient for the work in consequence of the unexpectedly heavy duties and the heat of the climate, and their numbers are ao• cordingly ordered to be augmented. The men who will compose the detachment have been selected • from the telegraph school at headquarters, and none but those of robust health and constitution will be employed in the undertaking. In addition to their ordinary regimental pay the sergeants selected for this duty will receive £l6 per month, tho corporals £l4, and the sappers £l2, and will at the same time receive a step in promotion before leaving England. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TELEGE&PR. Sir,—ln this momentous crisis of my miserable fate may I ask of the press and the public to suspend for awhile their judgment, and not to believe that the opinion of some of the law lords has finally deprived me of the status of wife. The ease, asl am well advised, has not by any means terminated, a reference to oeths being competent, and the inherent right of parties seeking to establish a marriage. Even the opinion giver on Thursday by their lordships Is merely an opinion until it is affirmed, or in legal phrase extracted, by the High Court of Session in Scotland ; and prior to that the examination on oath will take place, which in justice and fairness should have been granted when applied for by my counsel, the Lori Advocate. I be lieve it is the first principle of English justice, on which we pride ourselves over all other nations, that a man should not be condemned unheard, and that he should be allowed to question face to face his accusers. Yet this is exactly what I have been deprived of, but which at this stage of the case I can, and do, demand. The reason why the Scotch Court did not have recourse to the examination of parties was simply that the Scotch lords, being so much more familiar with their own law than Englishmen can be supposed to be, were at no loss to discern a marriage on the written evidence before them; and the Scotch horror of perjury ever induces them to defer to the last extremity the examination of the parties themselves. The practical result of this reference to oaths would be that should one party prove sufficient to establish a marriage—or the other fail to show that none had taken place—the Court of Session would refuse to en• dorse the opinion given in the House of Lords, and the whole case might be again brought before them. Hence, I appeal to the public through your medium to suspend their judgment until this last ordeal shall have been tried, and that the more especially as the Irish verdict of a jury and four judges, declaring me the wife. of Major Yelverton, still stands unannulled, Had the . action raised against me been one of nullity, or an action to prove that the marriages, Scotch or Irish, were neither of them legal, I should not assuredly have wasted six years of my life, my health, and fortune in the conten tion to be the wife of a man who refused to recognise me in that capacity. But the form of action raked up from ob scure barbarism, and held forth as a means of escape to an unfortunate and desperate man, is such as to load me with infamy and drag me down to the depths whence there is no degradation deeper for a woman. A hundred years ago there was such an action in Eng land, called jactitation, resorted to by men to rid themselves of the claims of those they had dishonoured. No woman with a soul above a slave's would submit in silence to such contumely. By this action they have left me but the alter native which the noble Wallace gave to his men—" To do, or die." I hold my honour as a precious gem, which it is my duty to defend with my life, and by every power and strength of mind that God has given me ; and as I am an honest woman in the sight of Heaven, I will so defend it till the last pUlsation of the heart, and never desist until I have cast the foul slander from my hitherto untarnished fame.—l am, Sir, yours, &C., THEVESI YELVERTON, 29, Cambridge-terrace, Hyde Park, July 29.

Improvements in Artificial Light. The eminent Professor Leibeg in one of his learned papers dwells at considerable length on the importance that would attach to the completion of a lamp, for domestic purposes, which would have the brilliancy of gas without its disagree.. able qualities, viz„ smoke, heat, and noxious vapour. At one time it was thought that object had been attained, by the invention of the "moderator," and still later on, by that for the consumption of parafin ; but the introduc• tion of petroleum as an article of commerce has rendered txther labours necessary to accomplish that which Leibeg deeired. The illuminative properties of petroleum have long been acknowledged, but the danger of its consumption has tended in a very great degree to dieceurage its use. That circumstance, however, has entirely been surmounted in the great improvement that has just been effected by the Messrs. Defries in the construction of a petroleum lamp. The novelty consists in some peculiar arrangement of the burner, by which a beautiful white light of extraordinary brilliancy is attained; but that which is of the highest im portance is, that there is a perfect freedom from heat, The lamp submitted to our inspection gave a fine clear white Mime, which burned with such steadiness that the most minute work could bc' effected with the greatest ease ; another matter equally important is, that combustion is perfect. The enterprising firm have not confined their efforts to the production of an article simply for the rich, but, feeling the importance of the discovery, they in tend to place before the public lamps suitable for every class of person—from the owner cl a palace down to the tenant of a cottage; therefore the material used in the construction of the new lamp is of the most substantial description.

WESTMINSTER. THE SLEEP OF DANGER—PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE. — William Bullock, a cabdriver, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of his horse and car- riage. Police constable Page, 101 13, said that at 2 o'clock this morning he was on duty at Chelsea, when he saw the de fendant's horse and cab coming towards him at a round pace. There was no driver on the box, and nobody in charge of the horse, and only a few.yarda in front of it was an open sewer opposite Stanley-villas. Seeing the immi nent danger in which the horse was placed, and not being aware whether there might not bo somebody in the cab, he rushed over a plank crossing the sewer and stopped the horse in time to prevent any accident. Mr Arnold—Where was the defendant during this die ? Witness—lnside the cab and drunk. Mr Arnold—Then if you had not fortunately stopped the cab he might have been killed. Witness—A very serious accident might have taken place. Mr Arnold (to defendant) —What have you to say to this ? Defendant—l got inside while waiting at Cremorne. Mr Arnold—Why did you get inside ? Defendant—l got inside just to have a sleep. Mr Arnold—And left nobody in charge of your horse ? You have not only seriously endangered your own life but also that of the publio. If you got inside the cab, who was to look after the horse ? Defendant—lt was upon the rank when I got into the cab. Page—lt was a long way from Cremorna when I saw it, and the rank had been dispersed an hour previously. It was here stated that the bottom of the cab was found to be broken and the cab much damaged, for which redress was required by the proprietor. Defendant declared that he was not drunk, and coolly said that he could not prevent the horse running away. The case was then adjourned for the production of further evidence, and defendant was locked up. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE HAYMARKET NIGHT HOUSES AND THE PUBLIC HOUSES CLOSING ACT,—Mr. Knox perceiving that there were but few charges this morning from the Vine-street police-station, remarked to Inspector Wilton, of the C di. vision, that ho supposed the coming into operation of the amended act regulating refreshment houses had something to do with it. Inspector Wilson said he believed it had. There was not one drunken charge from Vine-street. The coming into operation of the amended act in refe rence to publichouses end refreshment houses has already had its effect on the Haymarket, and will probably before long completely put an end to the business of night-house keeping, the act so much affecting some of them as to render it an utter impossibility for the owners to continue the busi noes. The scene about one o'clock, the hour at which the houses are compelled to close by the act, now becomes one of a most exciting nature, the Haymarket, at the general turn out, being densely crowded, and but for the inter ference of the police in removing the crowds which col lect the place would be impassable. A keeper of one of the houses, probably thinking that many of the patrons of the " market"—a very different class of persons to those who, in former days, visited the place—might return as soon as the houses were re-opened at 4 o'clock, that being the time at which they are allowed to re-open by the Act, threw open his doors, but with a sorry result, his customers being so few and far between as to make it a non-paying business to continue the practice. Prior to the introduction of the amended Act, the work of the " night house" busi ness, through the interference of the police, was broken. The number of charges at this court having been wonder fully diminished, and the Public-house Closing Act, 1864, as the amended one is briefly called, doubtless, will act as a I finishing stroke. THAMES. DANGEROUS LARK IN TIER Chater Barrett, boot and shoemaker, of No. 80, High-street, White chapel, and No. 25, Globe-road Stepney, appeared on bail before Mr Paget, to answer a charge of attempting to steal a Aiiver watch from the person of Mr Samuel Iligham, a clerk, of No. 1, Edward-street, St. Peter's-road, Stepney, at the Hayfield publichouse, in the Mile-end-road. Mr Charles Young, solicitor, cross-examined the pro secutor, who said that when he was standing before the bar of the Hayfield, and hie watch was taken out of his pocket by the prisoner, 12 other persons were there. The prisoner did not pull out his own gold watch. He did say to the prisoner, "Your watch is only an imitation.". He told the prisoner he could lock him up if he liked for attempting to steal a watch or something to that effect. He should not have given the prisoner in charge at all if he had made an apology. Police Serjeant Briden, No. 4 K, said, he had made in quiries about the prisoner, and found that he was a very respectable tradesman, but one that often went out for a lark and was fond of a spree. With respect to the dupli cates of the gold watches found on the prisoner, he had ascertained that one was out of date, so far back as January, 1862, and that the prisoner bought the ticket of the other and that it was honestly obtained. Mr Charles Young said ho had half the tradesmen in Whitechapel to speak to the high character and integrity of the prisoner, who merely took the prosecutor's watch out of his pocket in joke. The case had been described as a " dangerous lark in the Hayfield." It was a dangerous lark, for the reputation of a respectable man had been sullied by this vindictive prosecution. The watch was never detached from prosecutor's chain. There was never any intention: to steal it, and there was no occa sion for this proceeding. Mr Paget would not trouble Mr Young to call his wit nesses. The whole question was that of intention. The case was one of grave suspicion at first, but the matter had been cleared up. He did not believe the intention of the prisoner was to steal the watch, and Mr Higham said he should have been satisfied with an apology, and stood upon his dignity. He discharged the prisoner, and was satisfied this would be a caution to him as long as he lived.

Floating before Swimming ; or, Every Man his own Corks, DEDICATED TO THE HUMANE SOCIETY. A few practical observations on what is called swimming may tend to save the lives of some, and teach many others to remain easily and quietly on the surface of the water, in stead of making the usual violent exertions called "trying to swim," with the attendant exhaustion and gulping of water, which often ends in discouragement, if nothing worse. It may draw attention to the subject to commence with what might seem (to some) a paradox, namely, that the movements of swimming have nothing at all to do with the main point of safety in the water, which is —remaining on the surface. To walk is necessary for locomotion on land, and so is swimming for locomotion in tbo water; but swimming could prevent nobody from going to the bottom if he were not specifically lighter than water, that is, naturally capable of floating in a state of stillness, It is is fur this reason that people even take some time in drowning themselves —that is, by overcoming their ignorant and terrified struggles the natural buoyancy which, it left to itself, would keep them on the surface. Without, this buoyancy they would go down at once ; as they would in spite of this buoyancy if they were loaded with stones, and no swimming could have the slightest effect. Corks of course keep people higher out o► the water, but they are worse than superfluous, as they impede swimming, that is, motion through the water, which is the proper meaning of the word. It is on account of its buoyancy that a log of light wood floats, and not because it tan swim. The log of wood floats because it is lighter than water, and floating does not need an exertion of the will ; but it cannot swim, because it has no will to exert. It displaces as much water as is exactly equal to itself in weight, but less than itself in bulk, and the difference of bulk remains above water.* So it is with our_ selves. Every man, woman, and child in Great Brit a i n would be as safe from sinking as this log of wood, if they would think as little about it and remain equally quiet. Nay, the fattest and heaviest out of water would be the most buoyant in it. Any boy might float like the "buoy at the Nore," and the fattest alderman sing " I'd be a butterfly," poising himseif lightly on the waves. They have simply to keep their limbo well under water, for these, in proportion to their size, float them while in the water, and sink them when out of it. They may lay themselves on their back, as in a luxurious water-bed, and stare at the sky—' Supinos ad sidera tollite vultus . — only keeping the mouth shut. The mere nose above water would be huito enough for breathing, and no ,gobenzoucho d iouche hante has any business there at all. The hum an body is lighter than water by about the proportion of the head, and the head will therefore remain above water, if every other part be below it.t Any practised person knows the greatest difficulty is to dive or sink (that is, to strive against the natural buoyancy of the body), and not to float. Let anyone try to pick up a bright object from the bottom, in about five feet of water. The strong resistance he meets with will convince him that it is easier td remain at the top than to go to the bottom. Wa may say with Moloch in Milton (but with reference to a much denser fluid), " Descent and fall to us are adverse— With what compulsive and laborious flight We sunk thus low—Th' ascent is easy then!" The advantage of floating over swimming is, that it may be practised in a moderate sized bath, or in any depth that is sufficient to prevent grounding by the stern. This chief point gained, the motions of swimming will come with the mere desire to move about, the limbs as usual obeying the impulse of the will. In learning to swim, instead of to goat, we begin at the wrong end, and with the wrong notion that swimming (instead of our own natural buoyancy) floats us in the water. Taken in the right order, they both come naturally—" Belier, mon ami, commencez par le commence. mont." When any quadruped, as a horse or dog, gets out of depth, it finds itself at once lifted up, and floating with the head above water, and having no fears on that score, its desire to reach the nearest point prompts the natural motion of the four limbs. Man has not, like the quadruped, the ad vantage of finding himself in the water in his ordinary po sition; his uninstructed reason becomes a worse guide than the unerring instinct of the brute. Fear prompts him to raise his arms out of the water, and then they tend to sink him, while the necessary position of the beast's four limbs keeps them under. Thus the efforts of the timorous to save themselves are the very causes of their drowning. Tossing with the arms above water, screaming with the mouth wide open, they get out of breath, water supplies the place of air, and they are choked or stifled—that is, drowned. But the time that it takes to frustrate their natural buoyancy proves the very thing they ignorantly doubted, for if not lighter in themselves than water they would have sunk like a stone. Nature has benevolently given us this buoyant principle of safety in common with the Nests, and we per versely mar it by our ignorant terrors, and by absurdly fancying (according to the vulgar error) that the action of swimming, which is only moving through the water, keeps us on the surface, and not our own natural buoyancy. J. F. D. * It is just the reverse with a body heavier than water ; this displaces as much water as is eiectly equal to itself in sulk, but not less than itself in weight, and the difference of weight takes it to the bottom. A body of (meetly the same specific gravity as water will remain at rest in any part of it, and fishes have the power of adjusting themselves to this condition. Their fins, like our limbs, serve only for locomotion, and have nothing to do with floating them. t A correspondent, who is as much at home in the water as the writer of this, says—" People are continually being drowned through their own unreasoning action, when their lives might have been saved had they merely remained quiet and kept their arms under water. I believe that women in general would float naturally if they lay flat upon the water with the face and cheek-bones (and nothing else) out of it." Women, having smaller bones and lighter tissues than men, are of course rather more buoyant. A few of the very thin nest men, with a large preponderance of bone, might find it less easy to float. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOTER RAILWAY.-- The traffic receipts on the 110! miles of railway worked by this company amounted for the week ending the 24th inst. to £13,218, or £l2O per mile, against £7,731, or £S3 per mile, on 93 miles, for the corresponding week last year, showing an increase of £5,487. RAILWAY BRIDGE ACROSS LUDGATE-HILL.—Tbe operation of swinging and fixing the first girder for the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company's viaduct over Ludgate-hill was commenced on Thursday by the contractors, Messrs. Peto and Betts, and accomplished skilfully and successfully. A body of the City police was in attendance, and the traffic was temporarily stopped. The great bridge ovar the Thames approaches completion, and according to present expectations, the line will be opened to the Ludgate station early in October. NEW ACT ON CLERKS OF THE PEACE.—Under an Act of Parliament just printed, on two justices being of opinion that a clerk of the peace has been guilty of misconduct otherwise than in the execution of his office, a complaint in writing may be exhibited at the sessions, and if proved he may be suspended or removed, and another appointed. Within three months the suspended or re moved clerk may appeal by motion to the Lord Chancellor in a summary manner, and his lordship may reverse, con•. firm, or modify the decision of the general er quarter sessions, or to remit the case with directions. POETRY AND PROSE.—How much greater is our nation in poetry than prose! how much better, in general, do the productions of its spirit show in the quali ties of genius than in the qualities of intelligence I One may constantly remark this in the work of individuals ; how much more striking, in general, does any Englishman —of some vigour of mind, but by no means a poet—seem in his verse than in his prose. No doubt his verse suffers from the same defects which impair his prose, and he can not express himself with real success in it ; but how much more powerful a personage does he appear in it, by dint of feeling, and of originality and movement of ideas, than when writing prose! With a Frenchman of like stamp, it is just the reverse : set him to write poetry, he is limited, artificial, and impotent—sot him to write prose, he is free, natural, and effective. The power of French literature is in its prose-writers, the power of English literature is in its poets. Nay, many of the celebrated French poets depend wholly for their fame upon the qualities of intelligence which they qualities d ali a ti n e d a exhibit—qualities which are the distinctive support ofd prose—many of the celebrated English prose-writers fcluesp are less and en wholly for their fame upon the qualities ofhige genius h n aro the imagination which they exhibit—qualities which said, the distinctive support of poetry. Bat, as of intelligence; less can be immet—the qualities of genius are less transferable appropriated from their product—they y direct and stringent intellectual agencies, though they may d than itte iy the llearned r 1 1 be more beautiful and divine. Shakspere and the great Elizabethan group were certain ly more gifted wr i ters than Corneille and his group ; b u t what was th e sequel to this great literature of genius, as we may call it, stretching from Marlow to Milton? What did it lead up to in English literature? To our provincial and second-rate literature of the 18th century. What, cn the other hand, was the sequel to the literature of the French " great century," to this literature of intelligence, as by comparison with our Elizabethan literature, we may call it, what did it lead up to p To the French literature of the nth century, one of the most powerful and pervasive intellectual agencies that have ever existed, the greatest European force of the 18th century.—MATTHEW ARNOLD, in the " Cornelll Maga rine" for August. STORY OF A SNAKE.—The Lockport Journal states that there lives in Mercer, Canada West, a woman who has for four years past been afflicted with a singular difficulty in her stomach. The complaint commenced about four years since with a tickling and uneasy sensation about the pit of the stomach. The sensation has continued to in crease in severity. A few months since it became the opinion of the physicians that the increasing difficulty ha d been the growth of a snake in the stomach. It has g rown so largo now that it distends the stomach as to produc e s bunch u p on the outside as largo as a quart bowl. Upcn pressing this bunch with the hand the reptile recoils and produces great distress in the stomach. When fish or meat is being cooked in the room, if the snake is not satisfied with food it rises up in the throat, producing strangulation. When desiring food, it manifests it by rising up in the throat. Physicians can see no way iu which the snake can be retuovid without certain death to the woman. She is about 35 years of age. 13.14. %Mil 10.0.7 '18.18.91 30.17.01 2.0.8 3.5.8 8 58} 7 3.17 58} i
