is a summary :—tiotite fort•ign journals have incorrectly
represented the policy of Featice in Italy. France,
since the peace of Villafrawa, not altered her

The Irish sword was presented to Mershal lifltahon,
a; Chalons, on Sunday. The following is the prisicipal
—the, is to saw, the most ftbsurd —passage hi the Niter-
Man address :—" Excelle..cy,--That land, once ruled
by tlios, whose Royal blood flows in your veins, has
tel. the burden of ..... unhappy days ; but the glory
tier exiled bestowed on lit r by their soldierly virtues
on Subls of beide and by their wiwkiiis in the council..
of urope, is for her brow, still encircled with the clips
of her %widowhood, as it were a laurel which interlaced
the funeral wreath Or her 1/11111e1110 sorrows. In more
the., one bloody battle—a; Cremona as at Foatenoy—
renown has shown with the splendour of victory.
To-day Ireland proclaims. with the just mile NA
meager, that you, the heroic descendant or one of her
greatest monarchs, have added new brilliancy to the
glory of our mania on the smoking towers of die Mala-
koff and on the everquemorable plains of Magenta."
Marshal All'ilahou replied at some langth, but only one
passage is reported :—" I shall one day leave to illy
eldest soo t'.itrick this magnificent sword. It shall he
for him. as if. is for me, r. dew pledge of those close ties
which ought to unite hius for ever to the noble aeuutry
of hiS ancestors."

DANIZI.II r. DANIZIAL

Mr. baton and Mr. Searle were counsel for the peti-
tioner.

This was • petition by Bre Barbara Daniels for a
dissolution of her marriage with her husband, Charles
Daniels, on the ground of adultery, coupled with deser-
tion. The respondent was • gardener. He married the
petitioner in September, 1856, and lived with her at
Streathasu until April, 1856. He then sent her to the
house of her married sister to be confined, and a child
was born. During her absence he sold off all the fur-
niture, and when his wife returned refused to receive
her, saying that he was dissatisfied with married life,
and would not live with her again. He has had no inter-
course with her 'live that time, and has been cohabiting
with a woman named Sophia Beard, by whom he has
had children.

Their Lordships dissolved the marrilp.

Dr. Phillainore, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram were counsel
for the petitioner.
The petitioner in this case, Frederick Cock, made the
acquaintance of the respondent in 1813, when he WaA 18
and she was 17 years of age. Au improper intimacy was
formed, the result of which was the birth of a child.
In 1852 the petitioner went to Australia. He returned
about two years afterwards, and, having made a little
money, took a public-house, the Rose and Crown, in the
suburbs of London, and renewed his intimacy with the
respondent. In June, 1858, he WAS married to her, but
the following month he received suing anonymous let-
ters which caused him to make inquiries, which re-
sulted in the discovery that during his absence in Aus-
tralia his wife had been living with a Mr. Hatfield, and
that they still kept up an improper intimacy. In
February, 1859, he and his brother went to a house in
the Wandsworth-road at 2 o'clock in the morning, and
there found Mrs. Cock and Hatfiald in bed together.

IWERNE MINSTER.

An inquest was held at the Talbot Head Commer-
cial Inn, on Saturday last, before W. Hannen, Esq.,
coroner, and a respectable jury, on the body of
Thomas Watta, a gardener, of this place, who was
found dead in the highway early the same morning,
by a carter named Wareham. It appeared from the
evidence that the deceased left the 'Talbot at a late
hour the previous evening, and was rather the worse
for liquor, but appeared well and able to walk home,
the distance not being more than a hundred yards.
He was, however, found the next morning at 5
o'clock by the above-named carter, as he was going
to his work, about midway between the Talbot and
the deceased's home, and from his evidence it appears
he must have stumbled, and in falling struck the
back part of his head against the plinth in a wall
where the body was found, leaning against the wall
in a sitting posture, quite dead. On examining the
corpse a deep wound was found in the back part of
the bead, and blood, evidently from the wound, was
also noticed on the spot where the accident happened.
The jury, after hearing the whole of the evidence,
, returned a verdict of "Accidental death." The de-
-1 ceased WU about 42 years old, and a single man.

LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.
A special general meeting of this company was held
on Saturday week at the Waterloo station, for the pur-
l...pie of considering, and, if deemed expedient, of con-
suiting to an amalgamation of the undertaking of the
Portsmouth Dail wee Comjeiny with the wrolertaking of
the South-We.tern Company, upon the terms snd con-
ditions of a deed proposed to he ...kid by the two corn-
Patties : Captain Mangles in the chair.
Mr. 1.. Crouthie, the kecretary, rilel the notice con-
vening the meeting. The report was taken as read.
The Chairman stated that it was with regret he had
to announce the necessity of adjourning the meeting,
and that it WWI only at t: o'clock the previous evening
that it was found impussible to prepare the deeds in
time for the meeting. The delay had arisen from the
necessity of having the best possible advice of countiel,
and the difficulty of getting them together for consulta-
tion, appointments for that purpose having been put off
from one time to another. A consultation was held the
previous evening at live o'clock, but it was found Im-
possible to conclude the matters under consideration.
Although the arrangement stated in the report might
appear simple to souse, yet it was only arrived at after
long and anxious deliberations of the Board. The pro-
prietors would perceive that the directors had kept with-
in the hounds originally assigned them, and that nothing
would induce them to consider any material alteration
of the original terms. They hail agreed upon the terms
of the amalgamation, the principal points of which bad
been settled, but it would be necessary to decide on
everything before the deed could be suhinitted for their
consideration and approval. He then moved that the
meeting be adjourned to Saturday, the 28th inst.
Mr. P. Snell, a director, seconded the 'notion.
After some observations from Mr. Herapath, Mr.
Tite, and Mr. Puncher as to the day to which it was
proposed to adjourn the meeting being inconvenient to
BOUM and convenient to others, the motion WAS agreed
to, and the meeting adjourned to the 28th inst.

GREAT SHIP COMPANY.

On Wednesday the half-yearly muting of this cons
pany—adjourned from the previous N% edneeday—was
resumed at the London Tavern; Mr. Campbell again
acting as chairmen. There was • marked falling off in
the attendance of proprietors as compared with that of
the previous meeting, and not more than five or six of
the directors were present. The proceedings were,
nevertheless, at times attended with considerable up-
roar and the manifestation of bOlll4 personal feeling;
but in the end the resolutions adopted were carried with
but few dissentients. Mr. Yates, the secretary, an-
nounced the result of the poll : Majority against the
amendment, 1,048 votes. The motion for the adoption
of the report was then put and carried unanimously.—
Mr. T. G. Taylor, pursuant to notice, moved-- That a
committee of 'wren be appointed to investigate the pre-
sent and put management of the company." He attri-
buted the bad nianagement of the affairs of the company
to the want of practical men at the Board, of which he
had always complained, and whenever he had *ought to
remedy the defect he was opposed by the chairman (Mr.
Campbell). (Hear, hear.) Mr. Pyfinch seconded the
motion, the Chairman haring also offered to do so. It
was at once put and carried.—Mr. Taylor moved that
the Rev. Mr. Nicholson, Mr. J. R. Croskey, Mr. Goats,
Captain Bourne, and himself form part of the coat-
mittee.—Mr. Starling proposed, as an amendment, that
the committee should consist of Messrs. Hope, Baker,
Field, Hawes, and Hodgson.—After some further dis-
cussion, in which the Rev. Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Baker
and other shareholders took part, both the original
motion and the auiendinent, at the suggestion of the
Chairman, were withdrawn, to allow a motion to be
proposed containing the names of gentlemen taken from
each to serve on the committee ; and eventually, on
the motion of Mr. Bernard, the meeting resolved unani-
mously that the committee should consist of the Rev.
Mr. Nicholson, Mr. J. R. Croskey, Mr. Goetz, Mr.
Taylor, Mr. Hope, Mr. Baker, and Mr. Hodgson—three
to be a queues (Mr. Hope had previously consented to
serve).—lt was also resolved, on the motion of Mr. Her
tridge, that the special meeting for the 25th inst. be
not held, and that no new directors be appointed until
after the reception of the report of the coin-
mittee by an adjourned meeting.—The thanks of the
meeting were voted to Messrs. Webbe and Teesdale, the
scrutineers at the poll, and also, amid Non» laughter, to
the chairman.

The official Gioreak di Rona declares to all Catholics
interested in the preservation of the States of the
Church that the Pope, obeying 'his conscience, has
negatively /*had to tbe counsels of the Emperor

the Pope's refusal to outs the province of Romagna,
which is Dow in insurrection. Great agitation prevails
in the Marches. There is • rumour that the Pope will
retire to Benevento, should the French army be ordered
to evacuate Rome. Benevento is a small duchy con-
taining about 30,000 inhabitants; it was given to his
Holiness by the treaties of ISM, and is entirely possessed
by the religious corporations established there. This
duchy is hemmed in by the Neapolitan territory ; it is
very strongly fortified by nature and by its isolated
position, and could offer a secure asylum to the Pope

COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL
CAUSIZ, J. 16.

(Before the JUDGE ORDINARY, lb'. &Wall CHAN(ELL,
and Mr. JGRYIee KEATING.)
MARSDEN r. MARRDEN.

Dr. Spinks appeared for the petitioner.
Mr. Andrew Maraden prayed for a dissolution of his
marriage with Mrs. Elizabeth Marsden on the ground of
her adultery with Mr. William Merritt. The petitioner
was formerly a draper in Merthyr Tyilva, and was mar-
ried to the respondent in August, 18;t3. Mr. Merritt
was a solicitor of considerable property residing in the
neighbourhood; he visited at the Maredente, and an
adulterous intimacy was formed between him and Mrs.
Marsden. It was proved that when Mr. Marsden was
absent on business Mr. Merritt was in the habit of going
to the house and that acts of adultery were frequently
committed both there and at Mr. Merritt's house. In
1847, when Mr. Marsden discovered the improper in-
timacy, he separated from his wife, and Mr. Merritt
then took a house for her at Tenby, and co-habited with
her until 1852, when he died.
The Court dissolved the marriage.
BANNISTER r. BANNISTER AND DAVIS.

This was a petition by • husband for a dissolution of
marriage on the ground of the wife's adultery. The
respondent denied the adultery, and recriminated. The
case was part heard at the last sittings, and stood over
to enable the petitioner to enforce the attendance of
some witnesses as to the adultery, who did not answer
when they were called.
Mr. Ilaomeen, for the petitioner, now moved for
leave to amend the petition by the insertion of certain
allegations of acts of adultery between the respondent
and the co.respondtnt, which one of the witnesses had
since the last hearing told the attorney for the petitioner
that she had seen in 1846. If their Lordships refused
that motion he should ask them to dismiss the petition.
Mr. Ward appeared fur the respondent.
The Judge-Ordinary said, the Court could not allow
the petition to be amended. As the case stood when it
was adjourned the evidence of adultery by the husband
was much stronger than that of adultery by the wife.
The case stood over to allow the petitioner MI °poor.
tunity of procuring the attendance of certain witnesses
to prove the charges in the petition, and it would be
monstrous now to allow new matter to be introduced

ARRIVAL OF DIOCHARGLD TROOPS FROM
Oa Saturday week a vessel, named the Captain Cook,
arrived in the Mersey from Calcutta, with about 44:10 of
the men who hive been discharged at their own re lurid
from the Indian army. The ship anchored off the rock,
and news of her arrival being forwarded to the recruit-
ing staff in Liverpool, several of the non-commissioned
officers went off and succeeded in enlisting nearly 80 of
the men, who were brought up in the steam-tug Lioness
on Wednesday night. 'There were a number of fine-
looking fellows among them who had been discharged
from the Bengal Light Horse and the Bengal Artillery.
The remainder of the men remain in the vessel, and
there is not much doubt that very many will follow the
example of their late comrades. The bounty on re-
enlistment ii £3 per usau.—Lirerpool Daily Post.
THZ ROYAL NAVY OF 1860.—8 y the official Nary
List for the present month and quarter we find that the
: British navy consist of 518 vessels, including screw
steamers of every description, exclusive of which there
j are 153 gun boats, 121 brigs, hulks, &a., employed in
harbour service, and 47 coast-guard tenders. Of the
number of vessels composing the navy no less than 314
are in commission, and doing duty in every part of the
globe. The vessels in commission are distributed as
follows :-65 line-of-battle 111114, frigates, sloops, and
gun-boats attached to the East Indies and China station,
18 on the coast of Africa, 6 at Australia, 13 in the
Pacific, 3 in the Brazils, 8 on the south east coast of
America, Sat the Cape of Good Hope, 21 on the North
America and Kest India station, 41 in the Mediter-
ranean, 19 attached to the Channel squadron, and the
remaining 112 are employed on particular service or
attached as guard ships to the principal ports in Great
Britain and Ireland. In addition to the above, there
are 38 powerful vessels building at the various Royal
dockyards, many of which are nearly ready for launch-
ing. From the above statistics it will be observed that
the navy of England is in a most efficient state, both in
regard to the number of vessels and the manner in
which those vessels are equipped.

PORTLAND.

A fatal accident occurred on the Breakwater last
Thursday. While a train of wagons was passing
along the staging, one of the piles suddenly gave
way, and the train was thrown off the staging, and,
with the exception of the engine, precipated into the
water. One of the breaksinen was either drowned
or killed by the fall, but the other wasaaved. The
boats of her Majesty's ships in the roads were on the
spot with great promptitude, and succeeded in resew
ing the unfortunate men from the water. The
secon breaksman is not so much injured but that
he is likely to recover.

PRUSSIA.

On Monday the Prussian Government submitted some
of the prelate of reformed legislation which it had pre-
pared during the recess. These were laid on the tables
at ilx• two Houses of the Prussian Landtag. There is
• project of a law on bail, and one for the abolition
of the usury laws, • leading postulate of the well-
organised Free-trade party in Prussia. The Minister
of the Interior, Count Schwerin, has also announced
• new project of law concerning provincial adminis-
tration. This has been for • long time mach called
for, inasmuch as the present provincial administration
—a thing which in oar ow" country is DOW almost
nominal—has always been in Prussia the chief cause
of that baneful dimes*, of functionaryisin with
which that monarchy is infested. The Minister of
Flames communicated the budget for 1860. It con-
tains the four land taxes of last year's budget, with
the difference only that instead of increasing one land
tax 20 per oent., and lowering another by 10 per cent.,
a uniform tax of 8 per cent, on the net proceeds is pro-
posed for the whole kingdom.
At the end of the present month 90,000 young men,
arrived at the age at which the obligation to enter the
military service commences, will be enrolled. This is
40,000 or 50,000 more than in previous years.

LOSSES IN BREEDING EWES.

As a large grazier and breeder of sheep in Romney
Marsh I am very much interested in the correspondence
which has lately appeared in your paper relating to the
causes of extraordinary deaths, sudden and unaccount-
able, among docks. Unfortunately, I nlll subject at
this time of year to heavy leases ; and in the hope that
I may throw additional light on this important question,
or that soma of your readers may he able to suggest •
remedy, I give the following facts.
For the sake of the uninitiated I premise that breed-
ing ewes are always kept on green land or pasture land
of not very " forcing" character, at the rate of front two
to two and a half per acre for the winter months, with
• little hay in case of snow only; this land has been
fed hard all the summer and autumn,.

My Ions«, occur only (that is, above a common aver-
age of casualty) in my breeding flock. From the time
the rams are put out in November until lambing com-
mences I am always over anxious. Almost from the
beginning of the formation of the embryo I can are •
perceptible increase in iuortality ; on many occasions
my looker, this year and the last year, has found two
or even three dead ewes in one field at a time ; they are
'away. much " blown," and their bellies are very black
—their wool readily pulls out. Nothing radically wrong
can be discovered by a casual inspection of their intes-
tim.s. I would observe, especially, that in the next
fields my fatting sheep where the land is touch stronger,
also ewes, fat, barren, or too old for breeding du not
die. I must, therefore, conclude that there is some
deadly quality in these poor fields at this time of year,
or that the ewes being pregnant are affected by
" ergot." 1 want to ascertain, if possible, whether in
Bucit an early stage of pregnancy this would be fatal,
and whether it would cause the deatruction I have men-
tioned ; also, if there be ally remedy? Young wether
sheep and rams du not die beyond • general per ceutage
in the same cbiss of land. My loss last year for the
winter months alone wad over 11 per cent, in my breed-
ing flock.
Hoping that you will insert this for my own and the
public good, W. Farleigh, Maidstone, Dec. 19.

Scotlanb.

ELECTORAL REFORM FROM SCOTLAND.—The Rdis
Nova News slayia it bits reason to believe that the Reform
Bill for Scotland has been prepared, and that it does not
contain any clause* placing Scotland on an °gustily
with England in the matter of the county franchise. The
bill (our contemporary continues) will not go further
than what the Scotch bill of the Derby Goverament was
to consist of—a £lO occupancy and LIS property franchise.
Than, Scotland is neither to have a £2 property fran-
ehise, like England, nor any right to the borough free-
hollers to vote in the county.
THZ ANNUITY TAX.- -Two respectable tradesmen
were, at the highest criminal court in Scotland, charged
with resisting an officer who proceeded to execute a war-
rant for the non-payment of the hated tax. There was
a great display of forensic ability on the trial, the Scotch
Lord Advocate himself conducting the prosecution on
the part of the Crown, and the Lord Justice Clerk lay-
ing down the law. The jury delivered a verdict of "Not
proven," so that the accused parties were at once die-
charged, amid the cheers of a crowded and excited
mutt.

GAPP V. CUPP.

Dr. Waddilove and Mr. Lawrenee were counsel for
the petitioner.
The petitioner is • livery stable-keeper, and was lour-
tied to the respondent in August, 1643, at Highgate.
At the end of that year they aeparated in consequence of
her dissipated habits, and did not live together again
until March, 1847. The cohabitation then continni-d
until March, 1848, when in consequenie of her continued
misconduct Mr. Gapp finally separated from he:, giving
her an allowance of The, • week. In 1850 she was in
lodgings at Brompton, passing by the name of Rayner,
and she was proved to have °animated various acts of
adultery then and to have Ind a child in 1851.
The Court dissolved the marriage.

supply, met • dull sale. Business in barley was steady,
at former rates.

Sour.

At the principal provincial corn markets on Saturday
last the arrivals of wheat were shorter than usual, and
the samples were generally in • damp and inferior con-
dition. The inferior quality led the mealmen to hold
off buying, and the market was in • very dull and inani-
mate state. Sellers, however, were not inclined to give
way, and whatever transactions took place were at
generally about the same tenus as last week. Good
malting barley was name, and the demand good, still
nothing beyond last week's rates could be made. The
distilling sorb were a drug in the market, and grinding
expeneneed a slow sale. Beans were inquired after
for planting, and this led to some money being asked,
and in some oases it was realised. Peas • heavy trade.

RUSSIA.

Prince Bariatinaki, the hero of the Caucasus, arrived
U St. Petersburg on the Bth. "He proceeded to the
Winter Palace, where apartments occupied previously
by the Grand Duke Nicholas, brother of the Emperor,
were prepared for him. The Imperial Aide-de-Carup
Dournoy had been sent to him u the bearer of the Mar-
shal's baton, and met him about 200 versta from Stav-
ropol. On the the day of his arrival the new Marshal
was present at parade with the Emperor. His Imperial
Majesty commanded in person, and rendered military
honours to the Prince. The Field Marshal, moved io
tears, threw hiinulf into the Emperor's arms. The
spectators were greatly moved by the scene. The Prince,
after a short stay at St. Petersburg, will return to
Tiflis."

The Russian Government ia getting weary of the pre-
sence of the deputies of the nobility who have been in
St. Petersburg nearly a year, and have always opposed
the emancipation of the peasants without indemnity.
" But," says • letter from St. Petersburg, "OA. if sent
back to their provinces, they might spread the spirit of
opposition among the nobility, M. Lanakoi liasi issued •
circular forbidding the committees of the nobility to dis-
cuss the emancipation question, that being an affair of
general and not provincial interest. But this circular
raised a fresh storm. The nobles invoked the articles of
the la. on the privileges of the nobility, which states
that 'the assemblies of the nobles have the right to
deliberate on all questions affecting their interests,' and
to address their petition to the Emperor personally.
They consequently c.maidered M. Lsuiskoi's circular as
an infraction of their rights; and the nobles of the
government of Twer, who have always been stout oppo-
nents of emancipation without indemnity, have de-
clared they would altogether disregard the circular, is
no Minister had the power to abrogate laws at his wili
and pleasure. As noon as this declaration was made
known to the Imperial Government an order was dis-
patched provisionally suspending the assemblies of the
nobility of Teter. Similar facts have occurred in the
government of Ricesan, and they will probably not be
the last." .
