AMERICAN PATRIOTIC HOPES.

TURIN, Dna. 19.
People heard yesterday with pleasure, but with-
out surprise, of the acquittal of the naval com-
manders Giraud and Avogadro, of the frigates Duca
di Genova and Vittorio Emanuele, charged with
allowing Garibaldi, in August last, to leave Catania
and land in Calabria. After the revelations made
by General Cugia in the Chamber during the dis-
cussiou which overthrew Rattazzi, and the publica-
tion of numerous ministerial orders and despatches,
the public was prepared to hear that the two com-
manders would be acquitted. It was impossible, in
fact, to pretend that they could have divined the
wishes of the ministers ; the utmost they could bare
divined was that the cabinet wished to throw
upon them a responsibility it did not like
to assume itself. The acquittal is thus a post-
humous censure of the Rattazzi ministry. It
must not be supposed, however, that the sen-
tence was dictated by sympathy for Garibaldi
and his expedition. No such sympathy influenced
the naval council of war. It was the evident coo-
fusion of the orders given and the ambiguous tone
of the despatches, together with the significance of
previous occurrences, which produoed the sentence.
It was not veryllifiicult for the defendant's counsel
to show bow indefinite and ridiculous were such
instructions as those given to the commanders
when they asked bow they were to set : " Act
solely in the interests of the King and the
constitution."
The Chamber of Deputies is closed, and the next
session is to open, as I have already said, at the
commencement of February. The new ministry, it
is obvious, has a large majority, and aocortlingly it
will not be necessary to dissolve the house and ap-
peal to the country, as was reported. The Senate,
too, is finishing its work, so that a tort of drowsy

the state is going to a great expense in order to save
the. island from our "magnanimous ally."
Petmit me, while makiugthia allusion to France,
to tell you in what manner the ill-concealed
annoyance of the French governmental press upon
the cession of the lonian Islands by Eugland it
regarded from the Italian point of view. The
Patric thinks the cession nothing more than a good
stroke of policy •, there would be no merit in it
unless England loot something. This is the argu-
ment of the Patrie awl of the other ministerial
papers, who cannot bear to hear England praised.
lie Italians say that if the cession is a skilful
move, it is at all events a commendable one, and
that unskilful measures, such as the French expe-
ditions to Rome and Mexico, reflect discredit upon - --

The Rev. Dr Stephen Tyng, of New York, who
is known by report to a large circle of Englishmen, preached
the sermon at St. George's Church, on Thasikegiving.day.
In the progress of be dimmers, he said :—No clue, no
form of human government, in its instituting, and it. pro-
mises, ever attained to an exaltation like this. lam grate-
ful, under God, to those venerable and elevated men, the
fathers of the generation past, who humbly and sobownly
said, " We owe it all to the grime and beoetieence of God."
The people are the rulers by their elected representatives.
They devise, sae* prod ate& the laws, by their elective
commissioned magistrates ; they command their lawn to
be justly executed sad enforced by their own appointed
judges; they intwpret an decide the pertitular ap-
plication of their laws, an occasions demand, and
baying thus, in the majesty of their power and the
right of their control, under God, from whoee bench-
ceooe they coulees the right to proceed to establish their
authority, they claim, arid rightly claim, that it shall be
thoroughly and properly adminieteeed for their good ; and
Irving thus settled its authority in every department of
execution of their sovereign will, they, as voluntery subjects
of their own law, submit themselves to every ordineue of
MI for the Lord's sake, whether it be to the king, as
supreme, or to governors as unto them that ate sent by
them fur the puoishmeot of evildoers and for the praise of
them that do well ; for so is the will of God, that with wall
doing ye may put to Sluice the ignoraneeof foolish men. The
justice of our ruler is a righteousuess in the fear of God. It
is not our theory merely to restrain. hut to uproot the crimes
of the wicked. Our iuberited, adopted view of public justice is
the protection of the iasoeent, the unwed welfare of the
deserving—the education of the ignorant—and the destroyieg

THE facts of the YELVERTON case have been so I
often and so fully brought before the public that
there is little temptation to comment on a tale so
painful and so well worn. But, while they are
complicated and inconsistent enough to render
some diversity of opinion upon their import natural,
it is curious to find that it is the very simple and
limited question of law which the case involves
that is made the subject of the wildest misstate-
ment, and of the most preposterous demands.
Grave writers represent, on the one hand, the
laws of the three kingdoms as in conflict on this
marriage ; they tell us that Major YELVERTON had
till Thursday last one legitimate wife everywhere,
but that now he has as regards Scotland a different
one, and that the result may be to establish one to
him in Ireland, another in Scotland, and a doubt
as to either in England. We venture with confi-
dence to assure the public that there is no such
present position of affairs, and no possibility of
such a result being arrived at in this case. Where
no prior impediment exists, and where
no local code of morality intervenes,
every civilized nation agrees to accept as
valid within its own territory a marriage cele-
brated beyond its limits in such form as to be
binding in the place of solemnization. We in
England are very familiar with the recognition in
this country of the matrimony contracted, with
whatever maimed rites, between natives of Eng-
land at Gretna•green ; and we all know (with the
apparent exception of some public instructors)
that when such a marriage is brought before a
court in this country, all that it does is to inquire
whether the ceremony was sufficient in the eye of
the Scottish law. A similar rule is observed in the
courts of both countries as regards an Irish mar-
riage, and indeed it is universal wherever law is
known. If, therefore, the ci-levant Miss Lortu-
WORTH should finally establish her marriage as
valid either in Ireland or in Scotland, she
will from that moment be regarded, not in
that part of the realm alone, but in
every other part of it, as the legitimate
Mrs. YELVERTON, and the circumstance that she
should fail either in Ireland or Scotland will not
prevent her obtaining the benefit even in the
country in which she is worsted of her success
before a sister jurisdiction. It so happens, how-
ever, that for the present no such diversity of
result, immaterial as it would be, has occurred.
An Irish Court has pronounced the Irish marriage
effectual, and has even, upon the evidence adduced
before it, declared the Scottish marriage to be
proved. The Supreme Court in Scotland has
declined to go into any question of the Irish mar-
riage, but has declared that there has, in any case,
been a legal marriage in Scotland. No doubt
there still lies an appeal to the House of Lords,
which in its plenitude of wisdom may reverse the
findings of both Courts. But if it should leave only
one of them standing, it will confirm the legal
position of Miss LONGWORTH as having been ever
since 1857 and all over the world irrevocably
entitled to the position of Major YELVERTON'S
wife.

Such being the true state of the law, weineed
pay little attention to the frantic appeal made in
some quarters to have a legislative cordon drawn
round Scotland, so as to secure that the effect of
her irregular forms of celebrating marriage shall
not extend beyond her own borders. To do so
would be to bring about the very evil which is
erroneously declared to be conspicuous in the case
under consideration, for it would maim it really pos-
sible that a man might at the same time have one
legal wife in England and a different one in Scotland
—a state of things which might with much greater
truth than the present be described as "barbarous,
" unchristian, and contrary to all natural justice."
It may be that in the opinion of Englishmen in
general the law of Scotland on the subject of mar-
riage is objectionable. Hut if we cannot succeed
in inducing our neighbours to change it, we must
decline to punish ourselves and incur degradation
in the face of Europe, by adopting a system which
would sanction concnbinage with the name of local

matrimony, and introduce into Christian law the
principles of a Turkish harem, subject only to the
alight inconvenience of requiring the seraglio to be
divided by the Tweed or the Irish Channel. Dis-
missing, then, further examination of this notable
remedy, let uu look at the actual circumstances of

and scarcely a believer ;" shows how the Council of
State, the Corps Legialatif, and the Senate were all

the Emperor made it. I again fail to see any
practical conclusion from this reminiscence, unless
it be that M. de la Gueronniere is permitted to in-
sinuate that there are people now in high places as
unwise as those whose opinions Napoleon I. over-
ruled. Towards the end of the article we conic
upon several florid sentences, such as this, for ex-
ample :—" The empire obeys a force of impulsion
superior to every resistance and to every seduction."
That is a very good description of the power ofJupi-
tor, but scarcely of anything mundane, and at
'any rate I sun unable to collect what it means as
applicable to present circumstances. The writer
admits that " the work of internal policy is less
advanced than that of external policy." This
phrase I take to be a fragment of the article origi-
nally written with the heading " The Liberal
Empire," but, except in the vague repetition of the
word "unity," I can find nothing in connexion
with them to show either what is going to be or
what ought to be dune. I find myself at the end of
the article, and do not think I have omitted any-
thing important. I shall be surprised if further
investigation extracts anything more from it.

Last evening Mr. A. H. Layard, M.P., ad-
droned a meeting of the electors of the borough of South-
wark at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, in expla-
nation of his conduct during the last session of parliament.
Mr. Geonne NEWMAN was called to the chair, and having
briefly opened the proceedings,
Mr. LATIUM rose to address the meeting, and was re-
ceived with much applause. Having alluded to the local
topics which at the preempt time more immediately interest
the electors and the inhabitants of the borough, such as
the removal of St. Thomas's Hospital, which he condemned,
and the disfigurement of the streets and thoroughfares by the
construction of the Charing-cross Railway, he proceeded to
refer to the questions of foreign politics which had occu-
pied the government during the session, sod were
occupying their attention still ; and first among these he
alluded to the question, of China. He had been taunted in
respect of this question that when out of office he repudiated
the Chinese war, but that when in office he had given his
countenance to it. There was no doubt that he did repu-
diate that war, and last his seat in consequence ; but that
war had nothing whatever to do with the present state of
China and the conduct of the government in respect of
that country. The great object of the government had
always been to have direct communication with the Emperor
of China and his ministers, and that had been accomplished,
no doubt, by the war, and now Prince Rung, having put
under the war party in China, wished on behalf of the
young Emperor to have the assistance of this country
in raising that country to its proper position among
the nations of the earth. For that purpose
Englishmen had been allowed to enlist in the Chinese ser-
vim. The Chimes government bad obtained the services
of Captain Osborn, and be was happy to may he saw a de-
spatch from that gallant officer the other day which stated
he would soon be able to place the Chinese navy under •
proper system of discipline and regulation. No doubt com-
plaint was made that the government of this country was
aiding the Chinese government in putting down the
Taepiogs, as they were called, who were in rebellion against
it; and he rid at thee, that if these Taepings had proved ,
themselves to have been men of enlightened minds, having ,
heads and hearts and capable of governing, that there ,
might have been some justice in their cause, but from the
most authentic accounts which could be gathered of them, ,
they were neither more nor leas than • set of barbarians
and banditti, living on rapine and plunder, incapable of
governing or of advancing the cause of civilization.
In tact, they bad now been given up by everybody,
except by his honourable friend Colonel Sykes, who in the
Hours of Commons last session detailed • string of horrors
of a terrible character committed upon them, but which,
on the most searching inquiry, had been proved to be with-
out the slightest foundatiou. After enlarging still further
on the good effects which friendly relations and intercourse
between this country and China would effect, the hoe.
gentleman went on to nay that there was one other question
000nected with foreign politics which ho could not pass over,
he meant the question of America. (Hear, hear.) But, at
the same time, he should not say more upon it than was
consistent with strict prudence. He believed that the policy
the government had pursued towards America hail met with
the general if not with the unanimous approval of the
country. (Cheers.) That policy had been one of strict non-
intervention, sod be believed that no other policy could
have been pursued in justice either to this country or to the
United States. A valued friend of his, one of his own con-
stituents, a clergyman of Southwark, had some time ago
sent him a pamphlet on slavery, and had asked him whether
be considered the government was acting properly in respect
to that question. His answer was that in dealing with this
American question, government had no right to take into
consideratiou the question of slavery or no slavery, or inany
way to refer to the origin or the cause of the quarrel. If be
was asked io the abstract was government right on the
questiou of slavery, he would say atone that it was, and he
would say more, that during the last few month@ the North-
ern States had shown the respect they attached to the re-
presentations of this country on that subject by striking the
heaviest blow at slavery which perhaps had ever yet been
struck, by giving way on the right of search question, and
conceding to the propositions of this country respecting it.
The United States had also shown that they were sincere
in their opinion on the matter, for they had publicly exe-
cuted Captain Gordon,ho had persisted in
carrying on this illegal traffic. That could sot
hate been done some mouths ago ; and while
he said all honour to the United States for their
conduct in that matter, he would venture further to say, that
when the history of Lord Palmerston was written it would
be found that no man iu this country bad date more for the
abolition of slavery throughout the world than be had done.
(Cheers.) That questiou, however, bad nothing to do with
the conduct of this country towards America during the
present struggle, as their interference with it would only
embarrass the Northern States, for they were not, as he had
said, called on to express an opinion as to the causes of the
conflict, but to maintain • strict neutrality. Last session
several attempt. were made to cause the government to in-
terfere,
but they were put down, and properly so, for the
recoguition of the Southern States would only have been
another name for raising the blockade all along the coast,
and that again would have only been another name for
war with the North ; and as the recognition of the South
would not have given them cotton, he should like to know
. whether a war with the North would not have greatly
, enhanced the sufferings of their starving operatives for
the want of it. (Cheers.) He therefore thought the
• government bed acted right, and he hoped the time
, would soon come whey the people of the North would
see that the conduct of this country towards them bad
been just, and that all the heart-burning. which
now existed would have passed away. The hon.
gentleman then briefly alluded to the conduct of the govern.
moat as regarded Italy, and trusted that the great obstruc-
tion to the peace of that couutry—tbe French troops in
Rome—would be speedily removed. He also alluded to the
respect entertained for this country on all parts of the Con-

Erskine Holland, to recover 10/. Mr. Holland was in the
habit of frequently going into the stationery shop, of which
Mrs. Clifton had the superintendence, as a customer, and
would go there sometimes to get change, instead of going
to the bank. According to plaintiff's case, defendant came
into the shop ie a hurried manner on Tuesday, the 2.:ith of
Novereher last, and asked Mrs. Clifton if she could giro
him change for 10!. Mrs. Clifton was serving a customer
at the time, and knowing she had not sufficient in
her till, said she was afraid she amid not, but that she
would go to her private cash box and are whether the
could. She bad got a 10/. note iu her cash box, which she
had changed a short time previously for a Miss Hutton.
She took this out, wrote her name upon it, and sent he

Clifton, who handed it to the defendant, who had bees
waiting in the shop, and Mrs. Clifton then went to sand
to a customer. Two days afterwards, on Thursday, Mrs.
Clifton, upon going to her cash box, missed 10/., and it
then occurred to her that Mr. Hollaud did not give her either
a note or a cheque for the 101. change. She went to Br.
Holland on the subject, and he said he could not reeolket
