A special despatch to the New York limes states that on the morning of the 9th inst. the main force of the Confederate army was at Gordonsville, and that Acquia Creek is to be the base of Gen. Meade's supplies. A Union scout from Richmond states that Gen. Lee is in command of Gen. Bragg's army, and that it has been decided in a Confederate session to aban don Virginia as soon as Meade advanced. upon Richmond. A semiofficial despatch states that Lee's head quarters on Saturday night, the Pith, were at Brandy station, and that he has not gone to Tennessee. On the evening of the 9th, Buford's cavalry had reached a point two miles from Culpepper. Another rfJport states that the Federal lice of battle crossf.gl the Alexandria and Orange Railroad to a point where Lee was thought to be in full force. The forces of Price and Holmes are reported to have retreated to Texas. Mr. Seward has refused permission to certain parties to recruit 20,000 troops for the service of the Juarez Government, declaring that such proceed • ings would be a violation of the law, and that any One engaged therein will be prosecuted with all practical diligence. Ur. Seward's late speech at Auburn has ex cited some uneasiness in the public mind. The New York Herald and the World think it rather oracu lar, and ask if, for instance, the rebellion should not be pnt down before March, 1865, is Mr. Lincoln to Continue to hold the reins of Government, on the ground that he has not had the full advantage of his election in 1860. The Washington correspondent of the New York Zarald states that the Haitian Minister is so dis gusted with his treatment in Washington that he 'will reside permanently in New York. It is rumow•ed that the military here are going to give an entertainment to Marshal Forey. The stock market shows continued heaviness. All railroad shares lower this morning. JAPAN, MURDER OF A FRENCH OFFICER. HONG KONG, Nor. 26. Advices from Japan state that a French officer had been murdered by the Japanese. Immediate reparation was demanded.

When the beauty of the flower garden has all but passed away, and Flora, alarmed by the nightly frosts which winter sends before him to proclaim his coming, is preparing to take her departure, she bestows upon us, ere she goes, one of the choicest of her gifts, the crysanthemum. That this long neglected flower is.capable:of being cultivated into a first-class one is most indisputably shown by the brilliant display at present to be seen in the Temple Gardens--thanks to the care and industry of Mr, Samuel Broome. In the gare,ens of the Inner Temple the collection is immense ; every size, shade, and form is there, from the pretty di 3ainutive pompone to the magnificent and gigantic crysan ettemum, the Queen of England, all, without exception, flourishing most luxuriantly. A small portion of the upper parterre has been covered with glass, and here the flowers have reached unusual perfection, so that if the arrangement has been tried as an experiment, the result must have given the utmost satisfaction to all in terested in the beauty of the gardens.. Amongst the flowers that at once arrest attention, is Progne, a magnificent tall fine , formed carmine flower ; Novelty, a pure white ; Gene ral Slade, Golden Queen, Grand Sultan, Aimea Ferriere, a beautiful iacu ed tower, silver white, delicately tipped with rose, 'r) another spl ---- e l iro ia nt de l'Eure. Seraph, Cleopatra, Cherub, Beverley, the collection. The iineiseteiaurve.d .flower, Lord . .. Palmerston, and Thwe Pfic . tmen, in our opinion, in the whole r is a pure white, and the petals so boautifully formed that it has all the appearance of wax 'work. The pompones are exceedingly brilliant in variety and as endless as the crys a nthemums. The'lnner,Templars may well feel proud in the possession of such a splendid collec tion, and cannot but be thankful to Mr. Broome, for the care he has bestowed in their cultivation. The Middle Temple Gardens, though not so extensive, are equally re markable for their floral beauties, and notwithstanding the limited area, Mr. Dale shows, with great success, how much can b e accomplished where the open space is limited. The gardens are open daily to the public, but thosetheir ' wi sh to view th e cr ysanthemums must not delay MARKETS—This Day, HAY MARK2TS.

TPE APPROACH OF WINTER IS ALREADY TELL ING IN LANCASHIRE!—The return for the first week 6 f November shows an increase of some 500 in the amount Pauperism. It seems clear that the number of applica tions will increase very rapidly, and already the Central C ° ll amittee has called the attention of the local committees to extra precautions against the severity of the season. T hey report that they and the Guardians have expended altogether on the famine £1,979,363, out of which sum £ 535 , 8 98 was obtained from " strictly local subscriptions," independent of the large sums spent in private charity. They have a balance still of nearly £400,000 in hand, but su'acriptions are still required. MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A fair amount of business has been transacted this morning in the general discount market, where the mercantile public are:obtaining accommodation on three months' bills at six per cent., with occasional co❑cessions of I-- under that term. The advices received from Frankfort regarding a panic which prevails there in mone tary affairs, have not as yet influenced to any appreciable extent the market here. Bankers and brokers, whose capital had been lying idle for so long a time, now appear anxious to employ it at the current rates, although they are still evincing great prudence and unwilling to lock it up in long-dated securities. The 26th i❑st. has been fixed for a special settle ment in the City Bank new shares, and the Ist prox. in the Land Mortgage Bank of India, dealings in which are to be recorded in the official lists. Daring the last few days there has been less excitement in tho Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets. Sugar, however, has been in steady request at fully late rates. Coffee has been dull, and inferior descriptions have slightly declined, while rice, fruit, and spices have been dealt in to a moderate extent without any material change in values. The tallow market has been dull, chiefly in consequence of the unsettled state of political affairs in Russia and Poland. Two o'CLocK. At a general meeting of the shareholders to-day of the Hudson's Bay Company—Sir Edmund Head presiding—a dividend of 58. per share was declared. As the principal sales took place in January and March, the accounts of the company were not made up till May, and until that time arrived the direc tors felt it to be impossible to fix the actual profit dividend for the year, but from the prospects of the fur trade, and the general aspect of affairs, it was considered justifiable to recommend the dividend before mentioned. There is no material alteration to note in the market for the English Funds, the small amount of business that has been entered into having taken place at the quotations current yesterday afternoon. The general condition of the market appears to be good, an improving tendency having been induced by the greater confidence now felt in monetary prospects. Consols remain at 921 1 for money, and at 91t 1, less the dividend, for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities have improved to 901. 91 ; the New 21 per Cents. are 761; Exche quer Bills, 2s. to ss. dis: Bank Stock is marked 235 237 ; India Stock, 224; the 5 per Cent.

Great Eastern have receded 55., and Metropolitan £l. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without change of importance.

LAW INTELLIGENCE--This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge-Ordinary.) HUDSON V. HUDSON. His Lordship gave judgment in this case, which, it will be recollected, was before the Court a few da) s ago. It was a suit for judicial separation on the ground of cruelty, pre sented to the Court by the wife. The parties were in a respectable position in life, the husband being a farmer. The petitioner complained that her husband brought home parties to supper with whom she could not associate--that he had threatened to " do" for her—and on one occasion when he took her out for a drive he wilfully upset the chaise, by which she was thrown out, and he expressed his regret that she had not been killed. The respondent denied many of the allegations in the petition, and the Court took time to consider its decision. His Lordship this morning said he could not come to the same conclusion as the petitioner respecting the upsetting of the chaise. It was said by the respondent that it was raining at the time, and the accident was caused by her holding her umbrella before his eyes. He was, it appeared, also devotedly attached to his child, who was there at the time, and he did not think it Was likely he would have wished to injure it. Under all the circumstances of the case he should dismiss the petition. ROWLEY T. ROWLEY. In this case a petition was presented by the wife in 1858, and came on for trial in 1861. An agreement was made be tween the parties, and the case did not proceed to trial, Mrs. Rowley undertaking not to proceed further against the respondent, bat she had since that agreement pre sented another petition praying for the dissolution of her marriage. Dr. Swabey was heard on the part of the re spondent, and prayed that the petition might be dismissed, and Mr. Kerslake opposed. His lordship said he should allow the respondent to put in a rejoinder to the petition. ROOKER V. ROOKER V. NEWTON. In this case, it will be recolleeted, the marriage ceremony took place in Virginia, and the petition was presented to this Court by the husband, a clergyman, for dissolution of marriage. At the time the evidence was considered insuffi @lent to prove the identity of the parties. His lordship now said he had deliberated on the case, and he was of opinion that the marriage ought to be dissolved, and he pronounced a decree nisi accordingly. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE QUEEN V.

CaARGE OF ROBBERY AT THE LONDON PAVILION BUDING , THE GHOST PERFORMANCE.—Mr. Altert Smith, a young man, described as a clerk, of 10, Albert-terrace, Pentonville, was charged before Mr. Selfe with stealing from the person of Antoine Saleher, a German courier, a watch, while at the London Pavilion, Tichborne-street, the previous night. Prosecutor (through Mr. Albert, the interpreter) said— At half-past 11 last night I was at the London Pavilion with two friends, one on each side of me, and just at the moment when the " Ghost" made his appearance, and I was deeply engaged in looking at it, I felt my watch drop out of my pocket. I immediately seized my watch, which was dangling down, and on turning round saw the pri soner turning round and trying to get away from the place. I told the prisoner that he had better leave the place, but he did not move, as if wishing to take suspicion oft him. One of my friends, who is not present, saw something of it, and had his pocket felt too. Mr. Selfe—Were you dressed as you are now ? Prosecutor—l was. The prisoner was standing a little behind us. The policeman saw the watch out of my pocket, and then I gave the prisoner in charge. Prisoner—At the time the prosecutor speaks of I was standing by him, and the room was darkened to suit the "ghost" All I know is that although the gentleman spoke to me I did not understand him, and therefore I did not move away. The policeman must have seen that there was a good deal of pushing to see the "ghost." Mr. Selfe—What are you Prisoner—l am a clerk out of a situation, and have been only in London a week, having left a situation for a reason I need not explain. Having a little money I thought I would go and see the sights. I submit there is not evidence enough to convict me. Robert Martin, 86 C—Last night I was called to the prosecutor at the London Pavilion, and the prosecutor gave the prisoner into custody for stealing his watch. I went to the address the prisoner gave, and the landlady said she knew the name, but that was all. Prisoner—That is not my mother. My wife and child are staying there, but we are not friends. Mr. Selfe—As the evidence is slight I shall take your own bail to appear in a week, and if you do not appear you will be apprehended. SHARE 111ARKETS.--This day. Sharei Railways. Paid.

TOLL COLLECTORS IM "A Fix."—George Field and William Perkins, two respectable-looking young men, were charged with unlawfully passing over the new bridge, at Chelsea, without payment of the toll of a halfpenny each. G. Kay, a toll-collector at the bridge, said that at about four o'clock yesterday afternoon he saw seven men coming within a few yards of the gate. They stood there two or three minutes, and then five of them rushed over the counter of the bridge without paying toll, and the two de fendants were amongst them. Witness called to them to stop, but they proceeded on, and, when they got over the bridge, turned round and laughed. The other two men of the seven first seen together paid their toll, but afterwards joined the others is Battersea Park. Witness obtained a police-constable, and followed the defendants and the other men up to the further end of Battersea, where they were found on the premises of a Mr. Williams ; but three of the men escaped, defendants alone being taken. The men were all quite sober. Field tried to make his escape as he was befog taken. Field, in anwer to the charge, declared most positively that he was not one of the seven men. He was at Williams's when the toll collector arrived, but had been there some time previously. He had crossed the bridge hours before. Perkins said that he had paid his halfpenny toll at the gate, and could not understand why he was taken into custody. Mr. A. Castle, defendant's employer, said that they were both very trustworthy, honest, respectable men, who had worked for him some time, and, had confidence reposed in them. The complainant and a second toll collector were ques tioned, and supported the charge against defendants. The latter repeated their story and said they could call witnesses. Mr. Arnold took bail for their appearance on Friday. THAMES. ATTEMPT TO DROWN A BOY IN THE THAMES.—AIfred Blundell, an apprentice belonging to a coasting vessel called the Charles Napier, lying in the riv2r, was brought for the second time before Mr. Woolrych charged with attempting to drown a boy named Thomas Kirby, in the service of the Great Eastern Railway Company. On Sunday morning last several boys, and among them the complainant, were amusing themselves in a ship's boat moored at Irongate Stairs, and while doing so an oar fell overboard. The boy Kirby was leaning over the side of the boat to recover the oar, when the prisoner, who had left the boat only a short time while he went on shore upon an errand, approached. Two boys jumped on shore and escaped. Kirby tried to follow them, but the prisoner was too quick for him, and while Kirby was running from one end of the boat to the other, the prisoner gave him a violent shove and forced him overboard in ten feet water. The boy went down and disappeared, and when he came up again the prisoner and a waterman named James Met calfe laid hold of him and brought him on shore. The boy narrowly escaped with his life. It was sworn positively, and not denied, that the prisoner shoved the boy over board, but on the other hand the prisoner promptly assisted Metcalfe in rescuing the body and taking him on shore. Mr. Woolrych said this was a case of a very serious nature, and must be sent before a jury. He committed the prisoner for trial for attempting to drown the boy. Mr. Gomm subsequently waited on the magistrate tail:: asked him to dispose of the case summarily by th th e e for Both Y par of a fine, or to allow the prisoner to compensate Pu the injury and inconvenience he hadsustai ned. be cte a dopted. ties were willing that the latter course should il ndud lad, The prisoner was a very respectable , g C v h oy ar a l g e e s apprenticed to Mr. Henry Kent, mastervioefet-hcoisethinip Napier, which was about to proce ed " b a a d already served to Valentia, in Ireland.

TuE STATE OF CAPTAIN SHAW.—Mr. Foreman Swanton's bulletin posted yesterday at Watling-street en gine station, stated that the gallant captain was not so well that day, but considering all circumstances he might be said to be progressing favourably. Her Majesty the Queen had sent to inquire after his state, and the Duke of Sutherland and the late Lord Mayor (Alderman Rose) had attended personally to inquire after the captain. LAW AMENDMENT SOCIETY. A special meeting of the members of this society was held last evening at the offices, 3, Waterloo- place, Pall-mall, for the purpose of receiving the report of the special committee on the proposed union between this society and the Social Science Associa tion; Vice Chancellor Sir NV. Page Wood, in the 5 I chair. The report, which was read by the secretary, stated that the committee had fully considered the proposal referred to them, and recommended that the union should take place on such terms as should secure to the members of this society all the privileges now enjoyed by them, and not interfere with their action in endeavour ing to promote the object for which this society was instituted. They, therefore, proposed as the basis of this union that the society should assign to the association its library. furni ture, monies at its bankers, its claims for subscrip . tions due, and its interest in the agreement with Messrs. Rivington, absolutely, and give up to the association the office at Waterloo-place, the associa tion agreeingto to o maintain pay all the debts and liabilities of thesociety, the library in its present efficiency,re ports nd periodicalsn d to supply it regularly with the at present taken by the a a so ciety, or such reports and periodical publications as society had hitherto members of the s oc i e ty i n were n ecessary far a taw lib rar y, t o con d uc t the proc eedings of the u su al papers read this thereatsc society, meetin p g a s p iadnno done, teth,oet to printaain admit nan way all yl t circulate ahae th e ta e their respective capacities of life and ordi nary members, as two guinea members of the association ; such members to have all the present privileges of the members of the asso agers standing of the society not already me mbers of that commit tee , asso ciation.

Mr. HawEs, the treasurer, briefly stated the unfavourable position in which the society stood in a pecuniary point o f view, and said the coun cil thought that the proposed amalgama tion was the best coutse which could be taken under existing Circumstances, inasmuch as they would be thereby released from all debts, and still retain all their present privileges. The commis eionera therefore proposed that a second committee should be formed to represent the interests of this society. He bad lately gone through the whole of the papers read at the a ssociation meetings, and found that each year they had increased the num ber of papers, which had in timed past been read exclusively at the meetings of this society.

ITALIANS.--The novelty of the week has been Verdi's " Trovatore," with nearly a new cast for Paris. Mme. de la Grange and Mme. Lablache in Leonora and Azucena ; Fraschini as Maurice; and Di Luna by a new candidate for Parisian favour, M. Sterbini. The house was crowded and the applause more than usually abundant, though the execution of the opera was certainly not superior if equal to many representations of it we have witnessed here, m ine. de la Grange sang as she always does like an accomplished artiste, but the character does not bring her talents out pro minently, like the Uds of the same comuoser in parts of which she is incomparably fine. M. Fraschini was greatly .pplauded in Manrico, but it cannot be classed as one of his bust parts, and he was decidedly inferior to Tamberlik. M. Sterbini, who made his debut this evening, was so overpowered by nervousness that ho was evidently unable to do justice to his capabilities; we there fore reserve our opinions upon him until a more favourable occasion. The redeeming point of the soiree was the Azu cena of Mme. Lablache, who gave the poor gipsy-mother with an animation and effect that made the character stand out very conspicuously, and, in the great scene in which she describes the fate of her mother, displayed power and pathos of the highest order. Our old friend the immortal " Barbiere di Seviglia" brings up the rear, and sooth to say we have seldom or never seen the mercurial Tosnor so ill-provided for in Paris. Mme. Borghi-Mamo, the present Rosins, has been playing tricks, we fear, with her beau tiful contralto voice, until it has become a complete nonde script. This was her first appearance after a protracted ab sence ; it is, therefore possible that she may be suffering under the temporary effects of cold or fatigue. lire hope this is so, for we should indeed be sorry to witness the sacrifice of another fine organ to the insane passion among singers to change their voices, and to become what nature never intended them for. Mme. Borghi-Mamo was ap plauded, but without enthusiasm. M. Baraglia was the Almaviva ; his voice is thin and meagre, but he sings with taste, and does not want execution ; discipline may school him into something artistic and worthy the Italian Opera in Parts au reste, he was also awfully afraid of his new public, so he may improve much by increased confidence. M. Revere was the Bartholo, and Di. Bauch() the Basilie; both appear well accustomed to the stage, which is the only commendation in our power to bestow, M. Delle Sedie was the Figaro, and though neither a Tamburini nor a Ronconi, played and sang so well as to carry off the honours of the night. PALAIS ROYAL —A vaudeville, entitledss inuste s , Unr here, Tenor pour pa Tout Faire," has been permitted to but is scarcely worth this brief note of its existence. GERMAN THEATRE. —This little salle (Beethoven), ed itseunder th e direction of Madam e Brunin g , has recommen performances , with a much more complete com p an y than that of last year. The unquestionable talent of Madame Bruning and her daughter, Madame Wohlbruck, we have often had occasion to notice, and we will therefore confine our remarks to the new members of the company, begin ning with Madame Armand, who shines particularly in the part of a rustic girl who has become a baroness, and will not give up her country habits ; but hhe is 6in ungeschlipner Daimant, a rough dia mond speaking the Viennese dialect charmingly. Madame Haase, in another piece, delights the audience with the purest Berliner and excellent acting. Mesdames Herzog and Weber perform their less conspicuous parts very credibly. The comic actors, MM. Fleischer, Bussack, Werner,Weigelt,andHubner would not disgrace any charge. Such of our readers who have lived in Germany or know the language, or else have a taste for German singing, are strongly recommended to visit this theatre, which will afford them unqualified amusement. It is rumoured that a comedy, which has been some time in rehearsal at the Theatre Frangais, "La Maison de Penarvan," will be first represented before the Emperor and his visitors at the Chateau to Compiegne. The author is said to be M. Jules Sandeau, who will be one of the guests on the occasion. The " Moise" of Rossini is to be revived immediately at the Grand Opera, but the reason of its being brought forward is not very apparent. It is to be. supported by Mlle. Marie Battu, MM. Obin, Villaret, and Faure, all respectable vocalists doubtless, but scarcely able to give popularity to an opera in which we have heard Rubini, Lablache, and Mlle. Persiani. The concession of the privilege for a new theatre, L'Opera Populaire, to be erected in the neighbourhood of the Rue Cadet, has been granted to M. Roger, the tenor, formerly of the Grand Opera. M. Roger-Sevy, whose taste and talent in the execution of vocal melodies have justly obtained for him a reputation in musical circles, contemplates a journey to Italy, touching at Turin, Rome, Naples, &c. He announces a morning concert for the 2d December, at the Cercle Soaietes- Savantes, No. 3, Quai Malaquais. The Italian journals speak in the warmest terms of a young debutante, Mlle. Gonetti, who is now performing at Ancona with remarkable success in Donizetti's " Polinto." She is nightly encored in the grand air of Pauline, and is hailed quite as a rising star in the musical horizon. Mile. Gonetti is a French lady, and studied in Paris under M. Panofka, to whose able tuition she is indebted for a most admirable method and brilliant execution ; Nature (these papers add), having bestowed the rest in a lovely mezzo soprano voice, and features of extreme beauty. NEW ITALIAN THEA.TRE.—A correspondent writes " The opening of the theatre at Fiesole took place on the 20th Oct. An English gentleman, Mr. Spence, long a re sident in Florence, and now the possessor of the noble Villa Mozzi, on the slope of the Apennines, has made a princely present to the commune of Fiesole in building this pretty little theatre on the piazza, opposite to the grim old cathedral, whose belfry is visible for miles around. Every one knows Fiesole, the mother of Florence perched on the lofty hill, three miles off. Once a great Etruscan city, Fiesole is little more than a village now, and it is hard to understand whence the pit and boxes of the new Teatro Spence will receive their plenishing of spectators, especially in boisterous winter nights. Nevertheless they were crowded on the opening night with Floren tine visitors as well as the indigenous beauty and fashion. The orchestra of the Pergola and several public performers of repute executed a variety of pieces, vocal and instru mental, in excellent style. Madame Grisi, the owner of the grand Old Villa Salviati close at hand, though she has left the stage as a profession, sang an air from the " Puri tani," and another from the " Trovatore," with wonderful voice and spirit. The applause was overwhelming ; and the generous builder of the theatre was enthusiastically called for, and received with well- merited honours. All the performers gave their assistance gratis—and the pro ceeds of the fete were distributed among the poor of Fiesole. After the concert, a splendid supper was laid for some 40 or 50 guests, in the great hall of the Mozzi and Mr. Spence and others of his friends enlivened the re past, after true old Tuscan fashion, with rhymed were ' improvised on the names of those whose h.ealtAsadwaeme drunk, tha naaster of the house himself welcom Grisi in a gracefully turned Italian sonnet, o flhich lan guage he is a perfect master. —Galignans.

I believe he was placed in arrest by Lieut. and Adjutant Fitzsimmons. Q.—Do you know what the orders for his arrest were? Col. Crawley objected to theircontents being stated if they were in writing, unless they were produced. The Court allowed the objection. Examination continued—l am not aware whether the orders were in writing or not. Lieut. Fitzsimons gave me orders about the arrest on the day it took place. Colonel Crawley submitted that the witness should be asked whether the orders were in writing, and objected to eVidence being given of the contents of documents that were in existence. resu lted in the exa- A long consultation ensued, which mination proceeding, Colonel Crawley w ithdrawing his ob- jection.

The cross-examination of the witness was postponed. Major John Edward Swinley, of the 6th Dragoons, said that while the sergeant majors were under arrest in the orderly room Col. Crawley complained that a communica tion had been held with the prisoners, and asked Lieut. Fitz simons whether he kn ew,what was meant by close:arrest. The lieutenant said he did, and that it meant placing sentries over the prisoners. Col. Crawley remarked that it meant 130 such thing, and that it meant that the prisoner should he watched night and day. On that occasion Sergeant Major Cotton informed the colonel that Mr. Lilley was a married man, and liniment had to be rubbed on his wife's chest, 1 1 1 02 which the colonel remarked that, married or single, ° ls°e , _ r _ or soldier, his orders should be carried out. Quartera Wooder and other officers were present.

C a ptain Archibald Weir, called and examined, said he remembered that in 1862 he was in the orderly room when Mr. Fitzsimons came in. The colonel was talking in a loud voice with Mr. Fitzsimons. The colonel said, "Mr. Fitz simons, do you know what close arrest means?" Mr. Fitz- Simons said, " I think I do, sir.'' Colonel Crawley asked him what it was, and then told him that it meant that the sentry was not to lose sight of him day or night, Sergeant Cotton said that Lilley was a married man. The colonel told Cotton to hold his tongue, and not to contra dict the orders he had given, or those of the General, but to go and see those orders carried out. Sergeant Cotton told the colonel that Mrs. Lilley had liniment or oint ment to be rubbed on her stomach. The colonel then re plied, "I don't care a d--, Mr. Fitzsimons; I can't help that. Officer or soldier, I will have my orders carried out." This conversation must have taken place early in May.
