Brazil and its perseverance in its new and better

RUSSELL will have to address without delay remon-
strances to the Court of Madrid which it can neither
avoid nor evade. That Court has hitherto had com-
munications from Lord PALMERSTON on the subject,
two of which we elsewhere insert.

the porter of the house in which Bower
lived, stated that he was in his room when Morton eases
down, and said "Go up stairs—lend me a hat." He
weal up, but *ea told to go down again and send up his
wife: Ile did so. When he got down Horton came in.
Melon asked him if he bad been up stairs; he answered
in the affirmative, but said that it was his wife who was
warded. To that Morton said, " Hum, ham," and pre-
casted up slain. A quarter of au boor afterwards he
beard a spies and a try In the staircase. He ran t.) the
stair's's, thinking his wife had fallen from the fifth story.
He berried up, and as arriving on the fourth story found
the corps. of Mr. Morton. He cried to his wife, " Close
the door, and let no owe go out." But Bower, nevertheless,
got off.
The nurse who had attended Mrs. Hewer deposed that •
conversation took pace between that lady and her husband
on the lot October, but as it was in French, she had not
understood it. At last Mrs. Bower said in English, "The
Queen of England orders that this man shall be turned
out!" Mrs. Bower had fever and delirium to the nest

to_ . _ .

Dr. Berths said Bower, whom he had known for four
years, had requested him to attend his wife during her
Becosehement, but he had been unable to do so, and had
sent a colleague instead. He, however, visited her at his
request on Sept. 23. He recommended diet a nurse should
be found for as child, but Mrs. Bower said she would never
comet. She was greatly excited, and said that it was
desired to serve her as the Duchess de Prulin had been
served, sad that the nurse was charged to administer
poems to her. Oa September 29 -Mr. Bower again
went to seek him, and on his suggestion Dr. Dubois was
celled in to • consultation. Dr. Dubois saw that Mrs.
Hower had the puerperal fever. In the evening Mr. Bower
went to witness, and said, " My wife is raving—what must
be aso ?" He recommended that • an should be

procured to ware her until she eeedi be emit to a nabs

sad he (witness) left. At &lases:deck I. the evening hi
was told that Mr. Bower had called at his house in a state
of groat agitation: and that he immediately disappeared.
Ha thought that Bower bad called to seek him because hie
wife was no better. It was oily next day he learned what
had passed. Morton called willies in the evening of the Ist
of October, and told him that the violence of llre. Bower
was Increasing ; that she had struck her sister, and had
pulled a handful of hair out of his (Morton's) head. lie
showed the hair to him. (The hair was produced and re-
cognised by the wither.)
The Presiding irked Dower if it were not after the
event drabs had gone to Dr. Bertin's I—The prisoner re-
plied intim eldneatith, and said that he bad gone to seek

Bower, was nod, bat-it did not go to prove any further facts.
The prisoner—I have no remark to make on that deposi-
tion, eviept that It is made by my most bitter enemy. It
was to her that her husband wrote—" Bet poseemion of the
zhildiren; I am about to employ all my efforts to bring that
wretched assassin before an English or a French court of
justice."
The President—This witness only doees to the reproach
made to you by your wife of having kicked her.
The prisoner—l never struck her.
The audience was then suspended kr a quarter of an

Whoa the audience eras resumed,

in the dederstions et his wife, he had given way to as

which he bed sank the fatal blow. The learned counsel
smintaised diet the mimed ought not to have placed any
credit in the assertions of his wife, who was locontestibly,
he said, under the empire of a malady which affected the
brain and mental powers of the patient. Everything testi-
fied to the insanity of the wife, and everything forbade the
husband to pay any attention to her assertions. The very
fact of a woman making such a revelation as Mrs. Bower
had done, was enough to prevent all credence; for no
woman who acted se she mid she had done, would be likely
to mention it. The Issened ennesel then argued that the
messed could not have believed whet his wife had asserted,
as, had he done so, he would lave killed the child and
mother instead of rushing Mee the dining-room to seek

what he ought. After giving a dame& *.Ebel of si the
events of the evening of the let M Gabor, the learned
gentleman concluded by stylise: " We have ham all told
that Bower acted without actual pease of die adultery of
his wife, and that it would not have hen pessible for him
to have had her condemned for that 1111110 s. If Morton
were present, it has been uid it weal be impossible
to prove that adultery before a eau of justice;
so magistrate would be found to believe the
charge, net any law to punish It. How can
such reasoning be for a moment admitted t What,with
the facts before us that a man, a friend, stole into the
house of Bower, seduced his wife, who had been so chute

leg himself with the adultery which be o enmity, but intro-
duced an adulterous child into the fatally; when that
woman tells her husband, it was here tea months ago, in
your bed, that a friend possessed my persoa, and that friend
is the father of that child whom yen believe to be yours,
but who is your friend's, and when this basband, thus be-
trayed, with rage in his heart and his breast torn by a
million of furies, has recourse to a court of justice, be

law can do nothing for your grief; it is powerless to
*Tongs your injuries. Then this husband will seek from
his. own arm that veng.ance which the law re.
kepi him, this is why, I say, that Bower has acted
right in what he has done." ' This man," the learned
gentleman continued, belongs to a nation which is justly
proud of its institutions, to a nation which has Feuded as

The President then summed up the evidence with great
minuteness. _ _

The Jury retired at a quarter to eight o'clock to delibe-
rate on the verdict. Three minutes after the bell of the
jury-room was heard to ring to intimate that they were
agreed, and immediately after they returned into court.
The foreman then declared in the viral form that the
verdict was one of Acquittal.
Mr. Bower was brought in, and the president informed
him that he was acquitted.
Mr. Bower was then on the instant set at liberty, and re-
ceived the congratulations of the persons in his vicinity.
