brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the Marlborough•
street police-cond. L sidon, charged with unlawfully
internerryine with Major Wm, Brownrivr Lumley,
C. 8., during the lifetime of her husband, Alexander
Victor. Mr. Braley appeared for the prosecution, and
Mr. Metcalfe for the defense. Mr. Bosley, in opening
the ease said the lady we *barged with • serious
airwave. it yea with having on the 9th Jake. 1847,
married Major Wi.ii&lll Broeerigg Lumley. She des-
cribed herself in the marriage certificate u Mina
Haines, of full tee, spinster. The husband was des-
cribed as • bachelor and gentleman, residing at Hamp-
stead, and, by right of his father, Knight Com-
mender:of the Bath. The lady was also dcuribed
as residing with her father' Thomas Haines, gentlemen,
Hareetead. On the day of this marriage toe preen-
lion alleged that bigamy was committed by the defen-
dant. A certificate of the marriage of Alexander
Victor, of Versailles, and the defendant at St. Helier',
Jersey. baying been put in. Mr. Bexley said they had
subpoenaed • witness who knew the defendant person.
ally, who visited her before and after the marriage, and
who could depose to cohabitation, for some time. He
said that the defendant was in 1837 living with Victor,
and calling him her husband, that she entered into
partuership with Mr'. Wegener, widow of • solicitor,
living at Wottoieunder•Edge, and that in 1842 she was
carrying on a school at Park-villas, Bristol. The school
did not aucceed, end an insolvency supervening, the de-
fendant and her husband left Bristol, but before they
did so, they were viaited by the defendant's two sisters,
and the defendant always represented Victor to be I:er
husband. After the Insolvency of the school Victor
and his wife are next found separated—somewhere
about the year 1842. In 1848 Victor was still living,
and defendant had resumed her maiden name of
Hainea and communicated with • lady named Brown,
aunt of Major Lumley, relative to a situation. It was
in consequence of these communications that an ac-
quaintance with Major Lumley subsequently took place,
and be after wards married her. In lffdli Major Lumley
returned from India in a state of health, caused by the
clime* and military lervioes, which required good
medical attention and nursing. Major Lumley sad bis

Tel MONCIIII/1 Barrne.—Captain Monerieff bus
Invested a gun which will be of enormous value in works
of defence, such as we require in England. He goes
back to the primitive system of defence, and asks for •
simple earth parapet only, by means of which he
promises to afford us an almost perfect protection. And
this is how he accomplishes his object. He mount" the
gun on a small terrine, which rests upon a pair of
curved iron elevators or rockers. Under the fore part
of these makers he places • counterweight, slightly in
execes of the weight of the gun. We will for the moment
suppose the gun to be loaded and ready to lire. It is
now ns barbetie, the counterweight being at de bottom
of the system, the gun at the top and looking over the
peruse The weight being beerier than tbe gun, the
system remains in this position until the gun is fired,
when the force of moil disturbs the equilibrium recoils
the gun backwards upon Its elevators, and raises the
counterweight. By this act al recoil the gun besomes
lowered behind the pseud, and being here held by a
simple mechanical eontriunce, it is ready for loading,
gun, eare.iiire, counterweight, and elevators being com-
pletely hidden from the enemy. It is the dfie over
ogee. Up to fire, down to had. When the loading is
accomplished the mesh Is released, the superior weight
of the counterweight brings it down and raises the gun
Into the firing position, whence, afterdelivering its fire,
it again retreats. The protection which it affords seems
alliat is to be desired, and very much more than until
lately appeared to be attainable, liot a mein need be
exposed, and the gun itself only appears above the
parapet for the few moments necessary to enable it to
be laid and deliver its fire. The parapet may bee,
thick as is thought necessary, and that most efficient of
all materials, earth, can be employed. A thick earth
p•rapet may, indeed, be made practically indestructible.
The gun derives also incidental *etudes], from the
fact that as it only appears for a moment and leaves no
to fire at. But Captain Moneneff proposes to use, on

rantl thinHlethus unggprettrhhomalnseePeira7.-aft:r""ptldhaftenerea:hiloisyf
absolutely nothing for an enemy to destroy. When a
parapet is used it tempos possible to mount the guns
on a travelling carriage on rails, and so to run it along
from one put of the work to another. And the
uncertain, momentary appearance of • gun over a
parapet would be scarcely less embraming to an enemy
than its sudden and unexpected appearance out of the
ground where no defences are known to exist. The
absence of any horizontal "train due to reel remove
the necessity for ezpensive solid foundations for the
platform, in addition to rendering practicable that
application of a carriage on rails of which we have
spoken. In point of esonomyithe system presents im-
mense advantages; costly iron shields or still costlier
cupolas will in certain positions be no longer needed.
And, owing to the command and free lateral rugs of
guns mounted in this way, one " Moncriefr ran would
be equal to at lead three liring through embrasures.
When gun pits are used it would be unnecessary to make
them before the actual cresasion arose, and thus the
plan of • great part of our fortifietioes would be kept
secret, and all the expenses of repair avoided. All that
would the necessary would be to decide where guns
should be placed in cue of need, and to keeps supply of
these carriages reedy against an emergency. The Inven-
tion premise' to effect a considerable and economical
revolution in the science of defereas—economical,
whether we consider it in regard to the nature of the
t, the number of guns required, the eod of the

A DASTARDLY ATTIJIPT has been made to seriously
Injure !Lille. Albini di Rhona, a lady well.known in
theatrical circles in London. Her present calling is that
of • performer of legerdemain, and at the Salle de
It triont, Brus•els, she has b. en giving • series of perfor-
mances, comprising the well-known trick of receving
uninjured the AllepOSOLi CoStaßts of an apparently loaded
pistol, tine evening, when the weapon, after it had been
handed round for the inspection of the public, was
returned into her hands, she inserted her magic wand
into the barrel and felt it come into contact with an
unexpected obstacle. She retire'', and afterwards reap-
peared in a state of violent agitation. It subsequently
transpired that some scoundrel among the spectators
had slipped into the barrel a screw of about,an inch
in length, which, if it had not been discovered, would
have killed or seriously wounded the fair enchantress.

THE YILLVIRTMI CASI ati•lll.—A curious action
agonet Major Yelverton, at the instance of his former
1111 tago ais t, Mrs. Maria Theresa Longwortb, otherwise
Yolverton, was decided on 'limeade/ by the First Divi-
sion of the Court of Session at Edinburgh. The lady
now seeks to have the judgments of this court and of
the Illou-e of Lords "reduced—that is to sly, annulled
and declared void, on the ground that the Scotch courts
had not jurisdiction to entertain action* in which
neither of the parties were dotoiciled in Scotland, or had
evenhad forty day's residence bvfors eitation. The court
seemed tn think that, as the holy in the present action
of reduction, appealed to the sante court whom jutisdic-
tints to decide Use former caao she was denying, her
case amounted to a contention that it had not jurisdic-
tion to decide wrung, but that it bail jurisdiction
to decide tightly and repair that wrung. They
therefore dismissed the action. The lady, on the
other band, may say that the decision of Thursday
amounts to an acknowledgment that all the judgments
in the former action were pronounced by courts with-
out Jurisdiction._ . . .

SUICIDE YOR Lore.—What appears to have been •
genuine c ise of "suicide for love" has happened in the
unromantic neighbourhood of lietlond Green. A love-
stricken b,odisaker, named wes informed by
his sweetheart that she was about to leave for A tutralia,
and *0 much did he take the news to heart that be
etraiglitway went home and hung himself. The vale-
dictory observations. addressed by McMillan on Friday
evening, to his landlord, ore quite touching in their
way. "I am going away," he said, "and you will
see me again; I owe you something, and I wish to
settle with you before I go. I have tea pairs of boots
made. Take them and sell them. You will also find
two more at • beershop ; that will make twelve. In
the beck yard I have a goat. Nest Saturday week
raffle him, and what the goat and the boots will bring,
will pay you all. Good bye." Ile then, we are told,

wards. Dulles the night he wee heard walking about
his room, and on Friday morning it was discovered that
he had hanged himself.

rumbling nein and an oscillation of the earth. In other
places between Mallow and Kanturk, a distinct shook
of earthquake was also felt. Houses were shaken from
their foundation., and in some instanced the furnitare
was thrown down and broken. The shook pissed from
north to south. Reports from other quarters confirm
the above particulars.
Mennen AND SOICTDIE AT NORTHAMPTON. —On Friday

DOES TIII USZ OF TOBACCO INJURE ?—Admitting that
tobacco is a stimulant, we may seem to be admitting all
that its opponents claim. They ask, " Can such •
stimulant be daily •ppli.,l without injury? Is there
not a cumulative client? I, not the excitement tem-
porary, and followed by a depression which is hurtful?
Are not the brain and nervous centres, in the long run,
deteriorated by this excitation?' Psrtinent questions,
the answers to which most be determined by the pre.
cision with which the questions are understood ; we
may answer them yes ir no, with equal justice, accord-
ing to the sense we affix to them. It is certain that no
stonulus which is a disturbance of the natural functions
can be daily applied without injury. But is it certain
that smoking tobacco daily is the daily application of
such a disturbing stimulus? Is it even probable? Is it
not demonstratively untrue? You might as well argue
that sailors shorten their lives by daily exposing them-
, selves to the horrible disturbancie of seasickness; much
, as they natter at first, it is plain that in • little while
they cease to suffer at all. In like manner the distur-
bance created by the first tow pipes soon disappears, and

Nova, RILADINO.—In these days everybody reads

endeavour to prove to no that we are dissipating our
minds. wasting our time, and encouraging laxity and
diffuseness in nor intellectual powers; but the preach-
ing of the preacher is of no avail. Men are as labourions
as ever they were. Our wives and daughters are more

mothers. We work. and pray, and ride, and dance,
and gamble, and talk polities u assiduously as ever.
But we ell read novels; lawyers, divines, merchants,
soldiers, sailors, courtiers, politicians. and what not.
There is hardly a man or a woman who can read who
does not require that some amount of novel reading
shall be printed for the delight of his or her leisure
hours. And no mush is learned from novels—so much
good and of evil—so many of the details of day
life are done honestly or dishonestly. selfishly or on-
selfishly, in • manner divine or diabolical, sr the mind
of the doer may have been operated upon beneficially
or injuriously by the novelist's art, that the production

novels that will teach good lessons instead of novels
that will teach bad lessons, is • matter of vita import-
ance to the nation- We think that we are right in
asserting that the novels of the day have more effect on

and for the popular will in general, be still professes
all hearty a contempt as when he sat with the Junkers
In the "United Diet" of 1847. Ifs resists any modifica-
tion of the North German constitution in a liberal
direction on the ground that it would "make • bad
improseion en the government' of the South ;" he
sneeringly suggest' that the best way of promoting
German unity in a popular sense would be to make "a
few reactionary ooncessions," because in the South "the
reactionists form the majority," He accuses the
Liberals, who so etoutly defended the constitutional
rights of the emantry in 1864 and 1865, of having
det..rmined to "refuse to give the governinent • farthing,
even it the enemy were at the gato;" and the great
principle of freedom of debate he describes as " tbe
endowment of a certain number of Oilmen' with
the right of offending the other citizens of the
country with impunity." All this he said only last
spring; and we doubt if anything more outrageously '
Insulting to (lie national feeling is to be found to any
of his speeches before the war. If we turn from his
words to his acts, we shell find that he has not made
a single concession to publie opinion on any of the

opposition to the will of the country, I ' true that
life is rather more tolerable for • 1;t liberals politieen In
Prussia now than it was before the war. But most of
