Drunkenness i _ is, it seems, but an imperfect state of enjoyment un til the ferocity of our brutes has been heartily and thoroughly expended in kicks and cuffs on the first person whose sex, instead of protecting, marks her out as fair game for every species of cruelty. It is, but two or three days ago that we had to an nounce a case in which a series of such outrages e compelled, egr aded race, d a a p t: . el dil aay, m tgra had been t erm i nate d w i th mur d er. N ever th e l ess, the police reports con ti nue t o f urn i s h d a ily re c or ds of assaults on women; and the London journals a r that revolting habits, which would disce the most d among gangsreveal to the of wretches in this m e t ro p o li s. We would a sk th e working men of London—not by whom, but among whom, th ese scan d alous scenes are daily enacted—what opinion do they expect that a foreigner, or even a fellow -countrymen who resides at a distance, will form of their conduct and of their feelings, from the police reports which have appeared in our journal even within the last two or .three days ? Let us briefly recapitulate some of the horrors which they disclose. In our Wednes day's papers, we find that at Marylebone an Irish bricklayer, named Michael Ca rro ll, was charged with assaulting his wife, the mother of five children. With no greater provocation than an entreaty to withdraw from some quarrel into which the drunken wretch had fallen, he struck her violently, and knocked her down. This was all the poor woman recollected, for the blows had happily stunned her ; and she was too insensible to feel, at the mo ment, the cruelty which followed. But another witness saw "the prisoner having hold of his wife's hair, and beating her head against the window sill and wall. He then pulled her from the win dow into the room, and, throwing her on the floor, commenced kicking her on the body. He also struck at his little son, who was calling out, Oh, don't, father, don't !' The woman was all covered with blood, and was quite insensibl e ." A police sergeant, who lives in • s the same court, fortunately arrested the savage's fury. " She was streaming with blood" when he interposed, and she would indubitably have been murdered but for his in terference. rI)RicE SD. wretch by sending him to the Ho use of Correction for six months, than a miserable animal of the name of Oswald, a shoemaker in Market-street,. Lisson-grove, was placed at the bar upon a similar charge. This ruffian's fury seems to have been . ex ainbuwseh:c.ahn child, a mere infant, The magistrate had no sooner disposed of this cited by the whispering of his and then I t y o in b g ea in her mother's ear. He jumped out of the bed. dreadfully " at the little girl proceeded to He struck her in the eye, and held her down on the bed for ten minutes, beatin g her unmercifully t and t , he ha7 u i n z a firs ppy t "sworn during the whole of the time ; and when despair had at last given her strength to tear herself from his grasp, he caught, her as she reached the door, hurled her on the sofa, and recommenced with fresh vigour. At last, the screams of the child attracted the police, and the ruffian was car ried off to answer for his conduct. The magistrate was horrified at the brutality of the fellow, but sentenced him to only three months' imprisonment, because the assault had not been quite as mur derous as in the first case. Upon reflection, how ever, Mr. Broughton might think, with the Greek legislator, that, if the slightest offence merits a certain amount of punishment, that amount ought not to be reduced merely because the law assigns no severer retribution to a graver crime. At the Southwark Police Court, another shoemaker, a young scoundrel only nineteen years of age was found guilty of knocking down and kicking a poor young creature of sixteen, who had been silly enough, one short month since, to become his wife. At his early age, at least, it might have been ex pected that some little tenderness would have still lingered for the gentler sex. But the precocious young villain showed that he had already attained the lowest depth of degradation. He had forfeited all claim to the title of man before the beard had fully grown upon his face. We pass over such filthy creatures as Mr. John Neaves, a master plumber, of 27, Cole's-terrace, Islington, and his ally the bricklayer Goodinz, and the even more disgusting Ryan ; for indecent as saults on women, however strongly indicative of the bestial nature of the perpetrators, fall under a totally distinct category from the offences now under consideration. Of these our columns of yesterday furnished two more cases, and others, equally gross and disgusting, will be found in our police report of to-day. At the Westminster Po lice Court, a tailor, named Edrept, was sent to the treadmill for six months for beating his wife, with out provocation, in the most unmerciful manner. The unfortunate woman was covered with blood when the policeman rescued her from her tyrant, and her face was disfigured with contusions. In another case, the wife could not he induced to give evidence against her husband. Her cries of murder had attracted a policeman's attention ; but she had escaped from the clutches of her persecutor, before the officer arrived. Fortunately, however, the fellow did not get away scot free. He had resisted the policeman, and the Lord Mayor availed himself of this piece of insubordination to send him to gaol for a month. The daily recurrence of these outrages shows that a term of imprisonment, even extending over six months, and made irksome by hard labour, is utterly inadequate to cope with the evil. Par Hat ment must, therefore, try whether the infliction of sharp bodily pain will not secure respect for those whom all men worthy of the name deem it their duty and their right to protect. Let us only have three or four of these rascals dragged at the cart's tail from Charing Cross to St. Paul's, and London will hear no more of women being torn to pieces by wild beasts. The terror of the lash —or, if not, the memory of its smart—will effectually arrest the uplifted hand for ever. When the female sex have an official ally, prompt to retaliate with interest every assault which is committed on them, the dastard woman-beater will not dare to vent his infernal temper on them in blows. Not a finger will be raised against them when the executioner is at hand, with the cart and th e ca t- o '- n i ne - ta i ls, to avenge the injury. The fear of the thong damped the ardour of those who might have been in clined to follow Oxford's example, and it would have a salutary operation on behalf of the humblest woman in the community. Shameful and degrad ing as the punishment unquestionably is, it is bet ter to adopt it than to suffer the present state of things to continue. A parcel of villians must terror o and n h cl e g goaneyle and to with bring the disgrace not be allowed to lead their wives and mothers a life of country. We commend to their backsth w o n their e tender mercies strongest anticii•am tion of the best results. A female i Sovereign can not better give lustre to her reign than by nflict eonheallr forget the e re spect sex •and trust that Parliament will, in the ensuing session, give her the opportunity of pronouncing a hearty j e l e vengeance due nce t VeUX over such a measure. Such we a re th at, un tiljae thejacket, et c a fo t- r o ' -ninethey must tails us has lacerated th that t tthey ety are h the hides es l iinflict ing e nmdpdlaervyotvi few of these miscreants, the wome n o f our humbler classes must continue to live in f ear an d trembling.

THE LATE SIR CHARLES JAMES NAPIER.—The death of this illustrious man is more than usually interesting in b Nottingham,been entrusted in with the alocalpoint o c f o i vi nn e i w a;id fro o m f the having troops to quell the Chartist riots in 1839. It is said that Sir Charles, on this occasion, worked the Chartist mob by stratagem into the Narrow Marsh, and then informed them that unless they dispersed in five minutes, he would fire ; and suiting the action to the word, h e deliberately issued to the soldiery the commands, "Make ready," "Present"—he never ut tered the word " Fire 1" and never had any occasion. The presence of Sir Chas. Napier amidst the Notting ham Chartists in Narrow Marsh seems to have had a I similar effect to what it had upon the Sikhs, who uni versally pronounced him " the Devil's brother !"—not one Chartist rioter having been heard of in Nottingham from that day to this ; and as for Narrow Marsh, on that occasion its contents mysteriously evaporated in less time even than Sir Charles himself had assigned. We have also heard a characteristic incident of the gal lant commander related in connection with the prisoners captured by the military on the above occasion. Before consigning them to the civil power he ordered the poor fellows a good dinner, on the ground that they well. , going upon prison allowance. Sir Chas. Napier lodged, we understand, at Mr. Whatton's, in Wheeler-gate his brother, Sir Wm. Napier, who accompanied him, occupying a parlour now forming part of the premises connected with the Guardian offices.-11'ott3 Guardian. THE ARCTIC REGIONS. —There wa: yesterday pub 1i hed in a Parliamentary paper a copy of the instruc tions and sailing orders to Commander Inglefield, of her iw Majes ty's to sh ip Pheenix, employed in the Arctic Region. proceed to to Beechey Island, in Lancaster Sound, to communicate with Sir E. Belcher, or the ships under his command. Strict injunctions were laid on him not to risk the ships being frozen in for the winter. " You are (the orders declare) distinctly to understand that the principal and chief object of your orders is to communicate with Beechey Island, for the purpose of landing stores and obtaining information, and thence to return direct to England. But, should the season prove an open one, and on your return from Beechey Island you should have an opportunity of examining the coast in the vicinity of Cape Walsingham, we do not object t& your doing so, but on no account. are you to risk the safety of the hip or your being detained, as you mus positively return to England this season." Lordships mustered the entire staff of the yard ; all the officers and clerks individully being presented to their Lordships by the Captain Superintendent, Charles Hope, R.N. Their Lordships also mustered the crew of the Horatio, receiving-ship for volunteers for the navy. Ihe 'inspection of the boys entered for contin uous service was particularly made by Sir James Robert Graham, who made several inquiries among the boys, and .commended them generally for entering the service. After •the inspection, their Lords.hips pro ceeded to the' Admiralty-house, and partook of the hos pitality of the Vice-Admiral, the Hon. Josceline Percy. To morrow, their lordships will take their departure for Harwich in the Vivid paddle-wheel steam-packet, Master Commander Luke Smithett (acting). February 4, 1851. The Wildfire, steam-tender to the Waterloo., proceeded to Chatham, with a portion of the retinue of their lord ships, and Colonel Green proceeded in the Wildfire, en route to London, via the North Kent Railway from Stroud. At 5.15 p.m. the Prince of Prussia passed through Sea-reach, and was saluted with 21 guns from the Waterloo flag-ship.

After partici pating in the victory off St. Domingo, February 6, 1806 ' the Kingfisher returned t o E ng l an d w ith th e di spatches, and was then sent to Basque Roads, where she towed out the Pallas at the close of her action with the Mi nerve, May 14, 1806. She subsequently formed part of the force under Sir Thomas Louis at the capture, September 27, in the same year, of the French 44-gun , 1 frigate Le Pr4sident, and was next ordered to the Medi terranean. On becoming attached, in April, 1807, to the Favourite, alias Goree, 26, Capt. William Standway Parkinson, Mr. Chappell assisted at the ensuing reduc tion of the Danish West India Islands of St. Thomas and St. Croix ; after which he joined in succession the Ulysses, 44, Intrepid, 64, and Captain, 74, all com manded by Capt. Christ. John Williams Nesham, under whom, in the Intrepid, he served on shore with a party of seamen at the capture of Martinique, in February, 1809, and was present when that ship was severely cut up in an engagement with the French frigates Hen riade and Felicite, under the guns of Fort Matilda, Guadeloupe, April 15 following. In December, 1809, he removed to the Tonnant, 80, Captain Hassard Stackpoole, and sailed for the port of Cadiz, where, i on being appointed to the command of a gun-boat, be witnessed the destruction of a Spanish prison ship, co-operated in the defence of Fort Matagordo, lost nearly the whole of his crew in killed and wounded, was himself severely injured, and obtained for his services an acting lieutenancy in the Um& raire, 98, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Francis Pickmore, by whom he appears to have been soon after detached to assist in navigating the Pernando Septimo, of 120 guns, to Port Mahon. Having been officially promoted in the Minorca, 18, Captain Ralph Randolp Worine ley, April 18, 1811, and being for some time success fully employed in cruising between Tunis and Sicily, Lieut. Chappell returned to England in tle Implacable, 74, Captain Joshua Rowley Watson, and was paid off in November, 1812. We afterwards find him appointed -December 3, 1812, to the Rosamond, 20, Captains Donald, Campbell, and Edward Stopford, in which he visited the shores of Newfoundland, Labrador, and Hud son's Bay--January 9, 1815, to the Beaver, 10, Captain Edward O'Brien Drury, lying at Sheerness-and, Jan. 17, 1815, as senior, to the Leven, 20, Captain Buckland Stirling Bluett, which vessel, after being employed dur ing the war of 100 days in supplying arms to the Royalists in La Vendee, was placed out of commission in Novem ber, 1815. From February 8, 1819, until advanced, in acknowledgment of his effective services, to the rank of commander, April 19, 1826, Mr. Chappell was next engaged on the Coast Blockade as supernumerary lieutenant of the Severn, Ramillies, and Hyperion, Cap tains William M'Culloch and William James Mingaye. lie had, during that period, been strongly recommended by the grand jury of Sussex, and highly complimented by the judge. fur his exertions in detecting and convicting a gang of smugglers at Bexhill ; and had also, in 1822, received the thanks of the East India directors, accozn panied by a piece of plate, valued at 100 guineas, for going off in a boat and rescuing the passengers and crew of the Thames, Indianian, when that ship was wrecked r his pr o o s m t-o e ffi tio c n e: ford, whence he was subsequently removed to Liver tCnueaasprut p a iß e n r e i a l C , e t hh e a n Yp d pile t l h el e awd s a. t s e a ai ip no a lien c dt k el eadtt'e Immediately establishment at Mi the l pool, and there, on the packet-service being transferred to the surveillance of the Admiralty, placed in com mand, June 27, 1837, of the Redwing steamer, from which he was posted, December 27, 1838. In 1840 we find him, by order of the Board of Admiralty, circumna vigating Great Britain in the Archimedes steamer, for the purpose of reporting on the properties of the screw propeller. At present he is on half-pay. Captain Chappell has been frequently examined by committees of the House of Commons on matters connected with steam navigation ; and on one occasion he was employed by the President of the Board of Trade to prepare the rough draft of an act of Parliament for the regulation of steam vessels. In December, 1840, he was appointed marine superintendent, and in February, 1842, secretary to the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company, in which latter capacity he now officiates. We should not omit stating that Captain Chappell, in 1817, published a nar rative of Voyage to Hudson's Bay,' &c. ; another, in 1838, of one to Newfoundland and the Coast of Labra dor ;' and in 1840 the results of his experiments in the Archimedes." COMMANDER J. C. PITMAN. The restoration of this officer to his rank in the navy, by Order in Council of the 19th of August, has been the subject of general congratulation throughout the service; for it is held by all to be an act of gracious justice. That Commander Pitman deservedly earned that rank in which, by the just recommendation of the Admiralty, he has been reinstated, will be seen by the following brief account of his gallant career : "John Charles Pitman entered her Majesty's naval ser vice in the year 1826, on board her Majesty's ship Asia, flag-ship of Sir Edward Codrington, and has served afloat 17 years._ Whilst serving as midshipman he was present at the general action of Navarino, in her Majesty's ship Rose, Captain Lewis Davies (in which engagement she so greatly distinguished herself), and had the honour to be strongly recommended by his captain on that occasion ; he was also employed in her Majesty's ship Talbot, Captain the Hon. F. Spencer, at the taking of the Moron Castles in 1828. He also served whilst a midshipman with Captains Sir William Parker, B. Maxwell, W. Gordon, and Sir H. Le Fleming Senhouse, " When serving as mate in her Majesty's ship St. Vin cent, in May, 1831, he received severe injury when on duty on the quarter deck from the gun tackle purchase giving way whilst getting the guns on board, for which he received a pension of 2s. 6d. per diem, from 9th June, 1834, until December the same year, when he was capable of resuming his duties afloat. In 1834 he was appointed acting lieutenant of her Majesty's ship St. Vincent by the commander in chief, Sir Josias Rowley, and continued such until she was paid off. He also served as mate under Captains Deans Dundas, Lewis . Davies, James Dacres, and Sir H. Le Fleming Senhouse, in her Majesty's ship Blen heim, in which ship he proceeded to China, and on arrival there was p ro moted by Lord Minto, having been seven yea rs and a half a mate. He was appointed junior lieute nant of her Majesty's ship Druid, Captain Henry Smith. " As lieutenant he was actively employed in the opera tions in China, and received testimonials from Lord Gough, Captains Sir Thomas Herbert, Sir Thomas Bourchier, Sir Edward Belcher, S. Pritchard, J. Pearse, and George Goldsmith, and others. He was at the taking of the Ty-cock-tow, Chuenpee, and Anunghoy Forts, and was present at the first advance on the Canton River ; was lent to her Majesty's ship Blenheim to act as naval aide-de campt to Sir H. Le F. Senhouse (the senior naval officer) and General Sir Hugh Gough, and was present during the whole of the operations on the heights of Canton, which led tooy i th n e h c e a r p 3 i i t a ul je a s t t i y o , n s ofsh ship Druid,city a ; n w d a r s em at a t in h ed etianki Chinangof Ain until the conclusion of the war, and was promoted to the rank of commander in December, 1842. " He was appointed to her Ma - jestPT; ship Child ers F e b. 28, 1846, and during his command of three years and a half in the China Seas, received testimonials of approba tion from the senior naval officers, Captains J.

Bonham, as well as the thank 4 of her Majesty's consul, and all the foreign residents at Shanghai, as well as from her Majesty's Government and the Lords of the Admiralty, for the services his ship performed in conjunction with her Majesty's ship Espiegle, for block ading 80J war-junks until the Chinese made reparation for their ill-usage of British subjects. " For his services in getting off her Majesty's ship Chil ders, when aground upon the Pratas Shoal, on which she was driven by a typhoon in the month of October, 1848, on her passage from Hong Kong to Shanghai (threD of his commissioned officers being the on the sick-list), he had also the honour to receive their lordships' approbation, as well as that of the commander-in-chief, Sir Francis Collier. " He also received the thanks of the French commodore and Capt. de Genourtly for services rendered to the crews of La Glorie and Victorieuse, wrecked in the Gulf of Corea, for which the King of the French wished to confer on him the. Lenion of Honour, but it being contrary to the regulations of the service to permit the acceptance of foreign orders, her Majesty's Government could not accede to it."

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING. sEPTEMBER 3, 1853. PERSECUTION OF ROMAN CATHOLICS BY THE CHINESE INSU.RGLOI The Univers publishes the following letter from M. Maresca, Apostolic Administrator of Nankin, d a ted Shanghai, the Bth June, of persecutions•by the Chinese insurgents against the Roman Catho lic Christians:— "The insurgents arrived on the Bth March before the walls of the town of Nankin, and established their camp in 28 divisions. They dug mines under the walls anct filled them with gunpowder, and on the 19th partially blew them up, together with the eastern gate. Imme diately after a signal was given, and they rushed some to the breach and others to the wall with an impetuosity which alarmed the defenders. In their first attack they made themselves masters of the town. The mandarins, who were not able to escape, were seized and put to death. On the 20th March, the insurgents spread through the town, and carried everywhere terror and death. A venerable old man, chief of the Christianp, was killed in his house with his eldest son ; his second son was grievously wounded, the third was carried off captive, and the youngest ran away. On the same day, four other Christians fell in the mglee. On the 21st March, the family Tseu, the wealthiest and most distinguished amongst the Christians, were driven from their house, which the insurgents required for their chiefs ; and thirty-one members of this family were confined in a neighbouring house, and were there burned to death. Two young men, belonging to the same family, aged 17 and 18, who were absent when their relatives were burned, have just arrived at Shang hai, after having begged their way—a distance of from 70 to 80 leagues. Five other members of the same family were also absent at the execution of the 31, but it is not known where they have gone, nor what has be come of them: All that belonged to the. Christian com munity of Nankin, church, ornaments, money, and papers, were deposited with the family Tseu, and conse quently all are entirely lost. The same day, several persons entered the chapel of the town, where the Christians were assembled, and recited the prayers of the holy week. They forbade prayers on the knees, and wanted the Christians to recite, seated, the new prayer of Tien-Fou. The Christians replied that they were Catholics and did not know any other religion. It was notified to them that if, within three days, they did not decide on obeying, they would all be decapitated. On the 24th March, some wretches entered the chapel, and attempted to do violence to some young Christian women, but they were soon obliged to leave, and since then there have been no attacks of the kind. In the afternoon a new summons was made to adore Tien-Fou ; a new refusal was given by the Christians ; and new me naces followed. On the 25th of March, the Christians were adoring the cross, according to the custom, on Good Friday. The insurgents entered all at once, crying and menacing ; they broke the crucifix, over threw the altar, and then wished to have their prayer recited-- at the same time presenting the Christians with books in which it is written. A catechist took a re- ligious book, the Explanation of the commands of God, and presented it to one of the chiefs. He hastily exa mined it, and returned it, saying, Your religion is a good one—ours is not to be compared to it ; but the new Emperor has given his orders, and you must obey them or die.' After summonses, which were repeated in vain, the soldiers seized the Christians and tied their hands behind their backs. The women and children exhorted the men to suffer with a good heart for their faith. They were bound and ill-treated in their turn. All being thus bound, the men were told that they ;would be conveyed before the tribunal of the Emperor to hear their sen tence ; the women and children followed them, and all went gaily. When they arrived at the tribunal they were kept for some time in outer rooms ; and then some officers presented themselves and told them, on the part of the Emperor, that, as they would not obey, they were all condemned to death, and were to be executed at the Western Gate. They were sent off to the place of execu tion ; but at the door of the tribunal an old man, who was unable to walk, was beheaded. The others arrived toge ther at the designated place—they were about one hun dred in number. New demands were made upon them to do as they had been desired, but they constantly re plied, 'We are Christians !' Many threats were made, but no one was executed. Towards the evening all were brought back to the town, and conveyed to a great store, which was formerly the church of Nan kin. They there passed the night with their hands bound —and some were attached to columns. One succeeded in unbindining himself, and in escaping. The day after new threats were made, and some blows were given. On Eastern day all expected to die. Some officers en tered the place, and asked if they would recite the prayer. Some said, `You should 'kill them all, for they will not obey !' but another answered, 'No—for in that case they would go to heaven, and would have what they desire; whilst we should be guilty of sin !' How ever all the Christians remained firm and yielded no thing. Some women especially, and even some children cried, ' Kill us all, that we may be martyrs and go to heaven !' Some of the soldiers, despairing of being able to subdue the courage of the women, and no doubt not having orders to kill them, opened the doors of the store-house, and forced them to leave with their children. They all went to the chapel, where they have since re mained with the children ; they are between 70 and 80 in number. The men remained in the store with their hands more tightly bound than on the first day. On the 28th March some young men, fatigued with suffering and dreading new torments, persuaded themselves that they might recite the famous prayer, because it contains nothing contrary to the dogmas of our holy religion. After having protested that they in tended to remain Catholics, twenty-two recited the prayer, and were immediately unbound ; but the others declared that they would die rather than recite it before they knew that it was good ; and some of them in con sequence were cruelly beaten. Since then those who wavered Lave felt greatly humiliated, and regret that they did not imitate the firmness of their brethren and the courage of the women and children. Whilst the women and children remained in the chapel without a single man to assist or protect them, the men were or dered to serve the insurgents either as soldiers or la bourers. Ten of them who were taken to fight against Tseu-Kiang took advantage of an obscure night to leave their ranks and run away. They have come here to re count to us what they witnessed. It was on the 14th April that they succeeded in escaping. Since their depar ture from Nankin they have heard it said that the insur gents have sent a good many women and children out of the town. The bridge of the great canal is said to have given way beneath the crowd, and more than a thousand per sons are said to have been drowned. We are not aware whether any Christians left on that occasion. We have also received news from Yang-Tcheu. On the Ist April the rebels entered the town without meeting with any resistance. However, they committed the same horrors as at Nankin, and the Christiana were not spared. They took the officers of the chapel, bound them, and carried them off with their families. They wanted all of them WSJ .., &SA. ..”..I. •V A Yu ........ -- - to recite the prayer of Tien-Fou. r Thereupon two cate chists stepped forward and clearly explained our dogmas and our usages. As a punishment for this it was ordered that three hundred blows should be given to one, and five hundred to the other. It is not yet known if they have been able to survive this cruel flagellation, and other bad treatment to which they were subjected. On the whole, out of six hundred Christians in Nankin, Yang-Tcheu, and Tseu-Kiang, fifty have been slain or burned to death, and several have been bound and beaten. Most of them have lost all they had and re main captives ; exposed to all sorts of dangers for the soul of the body." CASE OF MRS. NORTON. The Hon. Mrs. Norton had yesterday a letter in the Times extending, with accompanying documents, over four columns, in answer to the letter of her husband, which appeared in the same journal a few days ago, and the substance of which was published in the The Sun. Mrs. Norton thus commences her long epistle : On Wednesday, the 24th ult., a long letter from Mr. Norton appeared in your columns. I did not expect ever to fe'A thankful for anything Mr. Norton would say of me ; but I do feel most deeply thankful that he wrote and-pub lished that letter. iie has now deliberately given to the world, on his own authority and under his own signature, that history which I had always refrained from giving be yond the, circle of my own friends ; and he has thus given me an opportunity of refuting slander, of which I should sooner have availed mys lf, but that to do so completely I have been obliged to look through a mass of papers and correspondence, and I have been too ill since the day I had to appear in the County Court to make the requisite exertion. After refuting the charge brought against her of ex• travagance, and denying that her Income was 1,5001. a• year, she proceeds :- The charge I publicly bring against Mr. Norton (who has brought so many against me) 'is a far graver charge than any injustice in pecuniary matters. I complain, that twice in my life lie has endeavoured, on a false pre tence, to rob me of my reputatio n . In 1836 I had a quarrel with my husband. Our cause of quarrel was whether I should, or should not, take my children to the house of my brother, who would not re ceive my husband. I persisted. My husband baffled me by sending my children to the women who has since left him her property, who threatened to give me into the hands of the police when I went to,claim them, and L.leitetsawit-aleme-for-nry -brother's cocntry seat. - Such action oo being our real quarrel, I charge Mr. Norton with con triving that the whole world should believe (as they did believe)that my misconduct had broken up our home, o Lord Melbourne. Melbourne. l t was o baenTunfaithfulthe swseewitnesses wife , toar brought n a td n h an and that asctt i degraded my lover was against wereproved o i. class. d The chief witness was a drunken discarded groom , w h o was then a ragseller in Monmouth-street ; both he and others were proved to have been sent down to Lord Grantley's place, and to have received a weekly-stipend. from his agent while there. The trial was brought in 1836; nevertheless no evidence was offered after the year 1833 ; the servants living with us after that time were not called ; nothing was heard but the witnessing of the ragseller and 'his companions, who admitted in court that they had received money. In spite of all which strange advantages, and the fact that a woman is not allowed to defend herself in these actions, the ver dict went against Mr. Norton. In this present year 1853 I have a quarrel with my husband. Our quarrel is whether I shall, or shall not, be compelled to cede a portion of my mother's bequest. I refuse ; Mr. Norton insists. I rashly count on being certain to obtain a compulsory fulfilment of our agree ment, which I imagined to be binding. I find myself, on my return to England, without funds to meet my English creditors. I stop one action against my hus band at my own expense. I write to Mr. Norton's own solicitor, in the forlorn hope that Mr. Norton is acting against advice. I come into court against my will, upon subpoena, compelled to appear to prove the debt and agreement. Mr. Norton meets me there, in person and by counsel, once more to fight his battle against me with cruel treachery, once more to raise the ghost of that departed slander, and to contrive that the whole world shall believe (as they do believe) that Lord Mel bourne was again the subject of our quarrel ; that some pledge, stipulation, or promise was made and broken by me, and that that is Mr. Norton's excuse for his breach of covenant. I rebut that imputation on oath and by prOved facts ; and Mr. Norton publishes in the Times newspaper two columns of abuse of the dead and living, including coarse anecdotes of the mother of his grown up sons, which, even if true (which they are not), he hiniself dates back to the time when we had an only child"—that is, 20 years ago. Shall the verdict not once more be against him. I was young when this slander was first raised ; my children were infants. I was one of a numerous and affectionate family ; I had kind friends and a good cause. I struggled like a drowning person against disgrace, and reached the shore. Already these miserable affairs were half-forgotten by the world ; and in literary occupation, devotion to my sons, and the firm friendship of those who knew my real story, I thought to have spent the future of a stormy past. Mr. Norton has not permitted this. Once more he has dragged me into shameful pub licity ; but on his own letter I will rest my justification now and for ever. The following passage from Mr. Norton's letter draws from Mrs. Norton an account of her treatment from the period of their marriage " My own conduct, I admit, at that time was weak and vaccinating in the the extreme. I had loved her to mad- newi for three or four years before I married her, and after we were united she had all power over me." I t was a very young girl at school when Mr. Norton proposed for me. I was always maltreated by him from the earliest period of our marriage. I parted from him in 1833, and in 1835, as my family can witness, for violence such is brought before police courts ; and I re turned to him on his own passionate entreaty that I would not "crush" but "forgive him," and that he " went on his knees . to me for pardon." I was safe out of his power, and my reputation unsullied, when he made his prayer ; I returned, and, five months after this' letter, we were again and definitively parted. That parting was followed by th e attem pt publicly to disgrace me. After that publi c di sgra ce, he did, as he admits, ask me to return t o hi m . But that is not, as he would have the world b e li eve, hi s on ly " vacil lating" attempt at reconciliati on . M y hus b an d, who pre tends to have loved me so tend er l y , and thrown me off so completely, did neither one nor t h e other. He mal treated me while with him, and h e h as b een i n almost constant correspondence with me , and occas ionally a visitor at my house down to the winter of the yearlBso. Would any one believe that, two years after " our re union was rendered impossible," he wrote letter a fter letter, endeavouring to arran ge f or our liv i ng t o gether again, and speaksjof "shieldin g me i n a hus b an d' s a rms ?" that, at the time he alludes t o , h e was endeavour ing to resist my petition to the Chan ce ll or to rega i n possession ' of my children • that he then gave his solemn w ord of honour to Mr. Hardwick, a brother magistrate , that be had not been raising a fresh scandal against me ; th at he never ventured to defend my petition to the Chancel lor ; that in his letters, two years subsequently, he begs me, with coaxing expressions, to call in all copies of a pamphlet containing our strange correspondence ; and, in one of these letters of 1842, speaks of himself as " your Geordie of former and happier years" that not only then, but in all the years since, I can produce let ters more or less friendly and affectionate ; asking ser vices of me ; thanking me for serving him ' • announcing the marriage of his sister ; full of phr ases of jesting and affection ; many beginning "Dear Car r y," and "Dearest Carry ;"anxious about me.; complimenting me ; asking ho w my travelling al ne can be obviated;" finally (for I weary over these instances of caprice), in April, 1846, he begins--" Your kind letter, written in the good old spirit, which should never have been broken," —and on Christmas-day, 1846, exactly ten y ears an d six months after the trial, and six years after my petition to the Chancellor, he hopes my health is " crisp like the frost —praises my brother—signs himself, " Yours ever " and in another letter begs I will embrace the boys "for absent me, as well as for yourself ! " Is it possible to conceive that in the face of all this Mr. Norton can so depend on my not answering him as to venture to print such mistatements ? Is it possible he does not see that they leave him in th 4 position : either he disbelieves these calumnies, which nevertheless he reiterates to my injury when it suits him ; or, believing me to be a bad woman, he wishes me to return home ? It is, indeed, difficult to choose which alternative shall save his honour -- - - - I'Lle next shows that Mr. Norton proved by his own admissions that there was no stipulation that her annuity was to depend on her not receiving any money from Lord Melbourne, and further, that his only ground for proposing a reduction was the fact of her income being not abide by increased by 5001., which was left by her mother. She then proceeds : eyonduetwn mos a t c p c l o a u u n s t ib o ly f , m an y d p m r o ev st ioii al s msely in H m e on gi ey ve m s matters, most the exact and witnessed truth being, that during the two years 1836 and 1837 I had not one single . farthing from Mr. Norton ; that be then employed Sir John Bayley, allow ancewho had been all otherhis counsel, matter s t ; o t arbitrate bat b o would the arbitration ; made what allowance he pleased ; and advertised me (to guard himself from furth er li a bi lity) in the public papers ; being , I believe, the only person of his own rank in life who ever adopted such a mea sure. I copy two sentences from a declar a ti on with which Sir John Bailey has lately furnished m e , i n con tradiction at once of the who le fabr ication respecting my conduct in these matters : " I was appointed arbitrator on Mr. Norton's behalf in the year 1837, having been counsel for him, and thus be came intimately acquainted with the circumstances of these disputes. Mr. Norton gave me at th a t t i me a written promise to abide by my decision. He brok e hi s promise, and refused to hold himself bound by the pledges given." to his wife, so far as it has come under my knowledge and cognizance, to have been marked with the grossest cruelty, injustice, and inconsistency." It is with pain I approach that portion of Mr. Norton's letter in which he has chosen to make reference to ourson. I think my sons' names should have been held sacre d i n i this dreary quarrel, which began n their childhood, and which their manhood finds unreconciled. My son is not yet in England, nor was he in England at the time Mr. Norton states he had those commun ications with him. I utterly deny that I ever made him the channel of a falsehood to his father ; and I deny that I ever said or implied that it was "an insult" to be supposed to be aided by Lord Melbourne's family. With respect to Lord Melbourne, three years after the date Mr. Norton himself assigns to the anecdote he has thought fit to publish, he writes thus —speaking of the woman who afterwards left him the Yoikshire pro perty, and who had invited him to dine "I sent her a civil excuse, which was answered by a thorough love-letter; indeed, it is high time that I should sanction to a remarking world your penchant for old men, by suffering this antique faux pas." _The postmark of that letter is Aug. 8, 1834. I do not know if Mr. Norton will persist that it is the remark of a jealous husband. In January and in February, 1836 (that is, one month before our final separation), Mr. Norton speaks of the "tinpaYalleled kindness" of Lord Melbourne, and strenuously urges me to write to him to press the appointment of a friend. I will not enter into the fabulous history of the letters. Mr. Norton forgets that as he was then, by his own admis sion, occupied on " one or two other" names, it could not be foreseen that these notes from Lord Melbourne would be important; and the whole of that statement is false. With the exception of myself, most of the per sons Mr. Norton maligns are dead, and cannot answer him. Lord Melbourne is no longer here to give his word of honour that the man he served when living has stated that which is untrue of his memory ; but I can very clearly contradict Mr. Norton as to one statement, and I do so to show what credence may be given to others. Becoming apparently uneasy as_ to any, remarks which may be made on the affectation of looking with abhor rence on my acceptance of aid, while he himself receives 1,0001. a year from Lord Melbourne's appointment, Mr. Norton asserts as follows : " Lord Melbourne promised me the appointment of police magistrate before he visited a t our h ouse , or b e f ore I believe,'he even knew Mrs. Norton." And he gives this very plausible reason : " Lord Eldon had appointed me Commissioner of Bank rupts in 1827, and when such appointment was abolished by the construction of the Bankruptcy Court, in 1830 or 1831, I considered that I had some claim on the Home Se cretary, having received no compensation for the loss of my situation." Both these sentences are directly contrary to the real -acts. By Mr. Norton's express wish and desire, I wrote at that time, not only to Lord Melbourne, but to all those friends I thought might serve us. I wrote to Lord Holland, Lord Lansdowne, the Duke of Devonshire, and others, to, make interest with Lord Brougham (then Lord Chancellor) to get Mr. Norton a legal appoint ment. This not appearing probable, we asked for a Commissionership of Excise or custom. We did not succeed in this second request any more than the first, but when Mr. Wyatt, a police magistrate, died, Lord Mel bourne wrote to me to offer the vacant magistracy. On the 18th of April, 1831, Lord Melbourne wrote me word that the Chancellor had sent his secretary to in quire respecting this matter ; and had intimated that he should expect Mr. Norton to resign his Commissioner ship of Bankrupts ; Lord Melbourne added, " This is not so agreeable, but still was to be expected, and is perhaps not unfair in these reforming times, and I men tion it that you may not be surprised when you receive the intelligence." Mr. Norton was disappointed, and demurred ? he desired to hold both appointments ; I wrote again to Lord Melbourne to state this ; and received in reply the following note : " House of Lords, Quarter-past Five. " Take my advice, and make Norton write ti line imme diately to the Lord Chancellor, giving up his Commis sionership. What you cannot keep, it is always best to give up with a good grace.—Yours faithfully, " MELBOURNE." The statement, therefore, made by Mr. Norton, is entirely fictitious ; and, if I notice it, it is to ask what reliance can be placed on all the other misstatements in which blind wrath, imperfect memory, and utter irresolu tion, have involved him ? Mr. Norton calls his pub lished letter, a " vindication ;" a man of keener moral perceptions would have felt, when he wrote it, that he was not writing his defence, but his confession. From beginning to end it is a tissue of degrading admissions, or incorrect assertions ; of which the con tradiction, I am thankful to say, does not rest on my helpless denial, but on the clearest disproof. The conclusion cf the letter is as follows :—" I have done. There will always be those to whom a slander is precious ; and who can bear to have it refuted. There are also those in whose eyes the accusation of a woman is condemnation, and who care little whether the story be false or true, so long as there is or was a story against her." But juster minds, who will pause and review the circumstances Mr. Norton himself has published, will perhaps think the fate of that woman a hard one whom neither the verdict of the jury, nor the solemn denial of a voice from the dead, nor the petition of her husband for reconciliation and oblivion of the past, can clear from a charge always and utterly untrue. I did not deserve the scandal of 1836, and I do not deserve the scandal of 1853. Lord Melbourne did not tempt me then to break my wedded faith ; and his name has not now been the ground of a broken stipulation. On Mr. Norton's own letter I am content that people should judge us both. Many friends have wished me to pass over that letter in disdainful silence, as refuting itself ; and perhaps, if I were happy enough to be obscure and unknown, that would be my course. But I have a position separate from my woman's destiny ; I am known as a writer ; and I will not permit that Mr. Norton's letter shall remain on the journal of Great Britain as the uncontradicted record of my ac tions. I will, as far as lam able, defend a name which might have been only favourably known, but which my husband has rendered notorious. The little world of my chance readers may say of me, atter I am dead and gone, and my struggle over and forgotten—" The wo nrin who wrote this book had an unhappy history ;" but they shall not say— "The woman who wrote this book was a profligate and mercenary hypocrite." Since my one gift of writing gives me friends among strangers, I appeal to the opinion of strangers as well as that of friends. Since, in however bounded and narrow a de gree, there is a chance that I may be remembered after death, I will not have my whole life misrepresented. Let those women who have the true woman's lot, of being unknown out of the circle of their homes, thank God for that blessing ; it is a blessing ; but for me pub licity is no longer a matter of choice. Defence is pos sible to me; not silence. And I must remind those who think the right of a husband so indefeasible that a wife ought rather to submit to the martyrdom of her reputa tion than be justified at his expense, that I have re frained. All I state now I might have stated at any time during the past unhappy years ; and I never did publicly state it till now —now, when I find Mr. Norton slandering the mother of his sons by coarse anecdotes, signed with his name and published by his authority, endeavouring thus to overwhelm me with infamy, for no offence but that of having rashly asserted a claim upon him which was found not to be valid in law, but only binding on him " as a man of honour." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 2. The London, 90, Capt. Eden, sailed from Spithead this morning, to join Rear• Admiral Corry's division of the Channel fleet. The Daedalus, 20, Capt. Wellesley, sailed last night on her return to Plymouth, to be paid off. The Prince of Wales Indiaman brought up at Spit head this afternoon ea route to Calcutta. The Sprightly steam-tender, Master-Commander Allen, went to Lunce-point yesterday, with Capt. Pel ham and a party of engineers, to inspect the new bat tery. The Plumper, 9, screw-sloop, Commander Wharton, bent sails to-day ;it is expected she will relieve the Penelope, as flag of Rear-Admiral Bruce, on the coast of Africa. It is probable the Antelope steam-vessel will accompany her out. The Christiana American packet-ship, which arrived on Thursday, sailed this morning for New York. Wind N. by E., with rain. The comet has been distinctly visible two nights this week, looking up the harbour W.N.W., from 8 to 10 p.m., about 35 degrees from the earth • and to the naked eye the " length of a rocket," with the nucleus beauti fully bright, the size of a cocoa-nut. Many hundreds witnessed this interesting phenomenon. The new-fashioned iron propeller for the Conflict, 8, will be cast to-morrow in her Majesty's dockyard, and which is expected to be the happy medium. The Comus, 18, Commander Fellowes, arrived at Madeira on the Ist of August, from England. DEVONPORT, SEPT. 1. The trial of the St. Jean d'Acre yesterday gave the greatest satisfaction. She was not tried at full speed on Tuesday. Yesterday full speed was put on, and she ran from the Breakwater to the Eddystone in 53 minutes. She kept out some hours, when, in every position, she answered admirably, and fi na ll y l e ft th e Eddystone, coming in at full speed, and reached her moorings abreast of the dockyard in one hour and fifteen minutes, about ten miles and a half per hour. She is altogether a splendid ship. Her qualities as a sailing-ship have not as yet been tested. Mr. Dinnen is here entering into all the qualities and performances of her engines. SHEERNESS, SEPT. 1. At 9 a.m., this day, the Lords of the Admiralty ar rived here from Chatham. On their approaching the yard a salute was fired from the Waterloo, 120 gun!, Captain the Hon. Montagu Stopford. On landing their lordships were received by the port officers, Captain- Superintendent Charles Hope, R.N., and the principal officers of her Majesty's dockyard. The full Board visited, with the exception of Vice-Admiral C.B. Hyde Parker and the First Secretary, Mr. Ralph Osborne, M.P. The Board, with Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., &c., Surveyor of the Navy, proceeded to the board-room, in the Captain Superintendent's depart ment, for the purpose of inspecting the reports and sug gestions of the officers of every grade for the improvement of the service, the result of which is, of course, unknown at present ; but there is little doubt there is great room for improvement. At about twelve o'clock their lordships proceeded to visit the storehouses, a ll o f which were thrown open for inspection. Their lord ships were conducted through the various departments appropriated for the stowage of cables, standing and run ning rigging, sails, &c., by Mr. Robert Laws, store keeper. Their Lordships then proceeded to the docks to inspect the Miranda, 14, screw steam-sloop, after which they visited the Royal George, 120, screw steam ship. The Howe, 120, now being taken to pieces, in No. 2 dock, for future conversion, became a point of at traction, or, perhaps, reflection on some persons or other, for such a noble ' stucture of marine - architecture, at an enormous expense, being sacrificed. 'At 1.30 p.m., their PROPOSED ECCLESIASTICAL REFORM. A committee has been formed, consisting of a large number of clergymen and influential laymen, for the purpose of bringing about extensive reforms in the Established Church of England.
