THE DETENTION OF THE GIBRALTAR.

Lord R. CECIL wished to ask the Chancellor of the
Exchequer whether he was prepared to propose the mat of
say compematiou to Captain Blakeley for the loss a:m-
etaled to him by the detention, without cause, of the vessel
Gibraltar, and whether the government woold lay
upon the table the depositioos or informations upon which
the government acted in this case.

—TA.diabreElLOloTtle EXCHEQUER thought Lord
R. Cecil had made a mistake in putting to him questions
which appertained to the Foreign.oflice. He had, he said,
so official knowledge of any wrong suffered by thiptain
Blakeley, and could ooly lay it was an nausea mune to
produce the depositions or iuformatioos in such cases. He
defended the conduct of the government, in relation to this
case and to that of the Alexandra. and repudiated the
charges made spinet them by Lord R. Cecil.

Mr. G. FORTESCUE, observing that the dismissal of
Mr. Amster was the act of the late administration, said the
fiIIOOINI for that act extended far beyond the immediate
referred to by Oedema Dunne, who had put the cese upon
too marrow an eerie Mr. Aostey had shown a violeoce of
temper and a want of discretion and judgment which un-
fitted him for being the confidential legal advisor of the
Governor, and the Duke of Newcastle bad declined to re.
open the question and to reverse the decision of bis pre-
deeeesor. Mr. Anstey, be said, had no claim 'diatom to
ecrepeusetion or retention from the goverment.

THE AUSTRIAN FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
VIENNA, JULY 17.

In to•day'e sitting of the Lower House of the
Council of the Empire the Finance Minister made
his statement for 18t4.

The savings in the War Department are calcu-
lated at about 700,000 florins. The minister pro-
mises shortly to introduce a bill for the regulation
of the direct rates and taxes, The balance of ordi-
nary revenue over ordinary expenditure is stated
at upwards of 9,000,000 florins. The deficit occa-
sioned by the extraordinary outlay of 50 million
florins is propoised to be met by payments falling due,
by a new tax, and by the public credit. The deficit
isof an extraordinary character, because the budget
now brought forward is for 14 mouths, occasioned
by the transition from the financial to the solar
year, also in consequence of the repayment of the
instalments due by the state to the bank, and of
the interest of the loan falling due.
The minister farther states that to relieve the
distress prevailing in Hungary, the Emperor has
consented to grant au advance of two million florins
from the treasury, and promises further assistance
required.
The Vienna papers publish intelligence from
Caw.; in Moldavia, dated the 15th, stating that on

Poles battle upon the 14th. Both sides suffered
severely, but the Poles continued their march
towards the Russian frontier.

NAMING OF LONDON STREETS,

Mr. W. BW ART rose to ask the First Oommuunoner of
Works whether, through the agency of the Metropolitan
Board of Works or otherwise, it might be rracticable to
have inscribed on those houses in London which bed been
inhabited by celebrated persons the names of those persona.
The srbject, he nal, was one of considerable interest to a
great number of persons in this country. In the cities of
Italy, and elsewbere on the continent, the practice of identi-
fying the houses of distinguished men was observed. He
thought that as far as possible the same practise sl-ould be
followed in the metropolis of this country, in whiel, it was
needle as to observe, bad resided many men whose names were
wortty of historic commemoration, such as Sir J. Reynolds,
Hogarth, Johnson, Goldsmith, Gibbon, Garrick, the Duke
of Marlborough, Flaxroan, Somers, MansSsW, Macaulay,
Aci. He did not think they ought to be behind other
nations in recording the memory of great men, by having
the houses in which they lived inscribed with their names.
The mode in which this might be done was to leave it in
the bands of the Metropolitan Board of Works. In their
hopes of the future they ought not to forget the memory of
the past. (Hear, beer)

Mr. COWPER said that be believed there was u much in-
terest felt for departed greatness in England as in any other
country, but it should be recollected that it was the right of
any owner or occupier of • house todo what he wished with his
own house, and he did not think it would be right to compel
him to have a label os it which did not please him. Many
persons wished to put a bran plias with their own names
on their doors, and such parties might not like to have buy
other name inscribed upon them. (Laughter.) There were
others who would object to expose the antiquity of their
houses, which might militate against their sale. (Laughter.)
If these difficulties could be got over he thought it w 0414
be gratifying to the public to know for example where
Milton lived and Dryden died. (Hear, bear.)

PARIS, JULY 18.

The Emperor has received the following despatch,
brought by one of his orderly officers from Mexico :
"Juarez, fearing capture, took to flight and
hastened with some troops in the direction of San
Luis Potosi. General Bazaiue then occupied
Mexico, and the general -in - chief entered
the city on the 10th June at the head
of the army, accompanied by the French
minister and General Almonte. The enthusiasm
was at its height during General Forey's triumphal
march through the city, in the midst of 200,000 in-
habitants cheering for the Emperor, the Empress,
and the French intervention. The success of the
French has produced a great effect throughout the
country. I am charged to present to the Emperor
five flags and thirteen banners taken in different
combats at Puebla. The keys, in silver, of the
city of Mexico, have been offered to the Emperor
by the municipalities, in a letter addressed to the
general-in-chief."

LAW INTELLIGENOF,
COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.

JULY 17.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
moort r. scorr (PAZT UIaJD).

After our report left yesterday,
Sir C. Cromwell slimmed op—He mid the jury must, no
doubt, be heartily tired of listening to this very painful
case, which, whatever its result, ..muld not bring either hap-
pieces or advantage to either of the partite. Perhaps it was
as well that persons who engaged in suite of this kind
should find themselves in a position to repent of having
caused such disclosures to be made before the public. It
might, in fact, be useful to the peace and comfort of mar-
ried life that such suits should be so little productive of
advantage. The law gave the husband a right to the society
of hiked° ; and noises it could be shown that he bad for-
feited that right he was entitled to a decree of restitution,
whatever his motive in seeking it might be—whether it was
a motive off love for her, or just the contrary ; whether
he really desired the solace of her company, or whether he
sought to increase his income at her expense or at the ex-
pense of her mother. The legal offence of cruelty was well
defined by one of the greatest judges that had ever sat on
the beech, Sir William Scott, in the well-known case of
"Evans v. Evans." Mere rudeness of language would not
make cruelty, for as was proverbially said, "hard words
broke no bones." The rule of law was that to constitute
Nevins, there must be a reasonable apprehensioo that the
wife could not continue to cohabit with her husband with-
out danger of violence. That was the general rota, though
he (Sir Cromwell) was of opinion that a case of cruelty
might be established without blow; for it was possible that
a husband might subject his wife to such indignities that
it would be better even if he bad beaten her. This case,
however, wee not one of that kled ; for there were aliegatioss
of actual violence, which, however, wan peremptorily denied
by the petitioner. He did not know a more di cult or
painful duty to perform than to decide between such a con-
flict of evidence, without the testimony of any third person.
The wife had told her story with a minuteness and particu-
larity that was rather startling, and it certainly seemed as if
no hard word or unkind act that pared between husband
and wife ever vim forgotten. It was quite possible that a
lady, brooding over bee grievances, might uncoomiouly
ex-
aggerate them, and her Linguae might do no more than
exactly describe what was in her mind, though it might
perhaps have bad no other existence. On the other hand, a
husband might by the same process come to think that he
bad done nothing that was discreditable to him as a man or
cruel sea husked. The whole cue was, however, entirely

for the jury to deride.
After deliberating for abort twenty mientee, they found
a verdict for the petitioner, being of opinion that no cruelty,
in the legal sense, had been committed by Captain Scott.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.

This morning, in consequence of the untoward accident
which happened to Sir Creswell Croswell on the previous
evening, no business could be transacted. The case of
"Cavell v. Cavell" was postponed by mutual eon•
lent of the parties till rest term ; and at
about half-past 12 Mr. Strong, the registrar, ad-
journed the wart sine die. Notice of its re-assembling,
which it is hoped will be rendered possible by a temporary
arrangement next week, will be duly aunouncei in the
papers. The greatest sympathy wu expressed for the
learned judge ; sad the misadventure is the more unforta•
nate on account of the important causes which are waiting
to be tried.

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

GUILDHALL.
MYSTERIOUS RODSIRY OF POST-OFEICII LIMAS.

James M`Donalel, described as • clerk, was brought up
for final examination before Alderman Copeland, relative
to the charge of stealing a Post-office letter, containing •
draught for 10.1. 3e. sd., and forging and uttering the en-
dorsement thereon, with intent to cheat and defraud the
London and Westminster Bank.
Mr. Peacock, from the office of the solicitor to the Post-
office, conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Michael Abrahams
watched the cue on behalf of the gentleman whose name
had been forged ; and Mr. Beard attended for the prisoner.
It appeared from the circumstances of this case and
another still under investigation that a very extensive
system of plunder with regard to letters paring through
the Post-office has been carried on for some time past by •
number of persons acting in concert for that purpose. The
discovery was first made about ten days ago, when
the prisoner presented a draft drawn by the Clydes-
dale Banking Company in favour of Mean. E. Lazard
and Co., for payment at the Loudon and Westminster Bank
in Lothbury. The draught purported to bear Messrs.
Lazard's endorsement, but it was discovered to be a forgery,
and on the prisoner being interrogated, he said he saw
one of the firm write the endorsement, and after-
wards explained that he met • gentleman at •
public-house in the Blackfriars-road, who engaged
him as clerk, and sent him in a cab to
get the draught cubed. He also said he was to meet his
employer in Threadneedle-street, but on being taken there
by Russell, the detective officer, accompanied by the bank
porter, the latter observed the prisoner make some
signal to one of a number of persons on the opposite side
of the street, and the search after the gentleman was
of course immediately abandoned. Evidence was given
to show that the draught in question was forwarded
to Messrs. Lazard from Glasgow, and that it never reached
its destination, and at the completion of this case,
Mr. Peacock asked for • remand, as information had been
received connecting the prisoner with one case already
under remand, and another which the authorities were
about to investigate.
Mr. Beard said on a future occasion he should be able to
prove the prisoner was the innocent sgent of another party.
The prisoner was then remanded for committal.

ADDRESS OF GENERAL LEE TO THE
CONFEDERATE ARMY, BEFORE HIS
RETREAT.

012111:11AL canna—No. 16.

Mad-quarter; Army of Nortboro
July 11, 1863.

After the long and trying marches endured with
the fortitude that has ever characterised the sol-
diers of the army of Northern Virginia, you have
penetrated to the country of our enemies, and m-
etalled to the defence of their own soil those who were
engaged in the invasion of ours. You have fought a
fierce and sanguinary battle, which, if not attended
with the success that has hitherto crowned your
efforts, was marked by the same heroic spirit that
has commanded the respect of your enemies, the
gratitude of your country, and the admiration of
mankind.

Once more you are called upon to meet the
enemy from whom you have torn in so many
fields a name that will never die. Once more the
eyes of your countrymen are turned upon you, and
again do wives and sisters, fathers and mothers,
and helpless children lean for defence on your
strong arms and brave heat is. Let every soldier
remember that on his courage and fidelity depends
all that makes life worth having—the freedom of
his country, the honour of his people, and the secu-
rity of his home. Let each heart grow strong
in the remembrance of our glories past, and in
the thought of the inestimable blessings for
which we contend ; and, invoking the assistance
of that Heavenly Power which has so signally
blessed our former efforts, let us go forth in confi-
dence to secure the peace and safety of our country.
Soldiers, your old enemy is before you. Win from
him honour worthy of your right cause, worthy of
your comrades dead on so many illustrious fields.
R. L. Las, General Commanding.

The mse against the two Gills was first proceeded with.
Mary Ann Josses. housemaid at the " Gam," Elise Heath,

fastening all the doors sod windows on the night of the
15th, and on the morning of the 16th they fouled the We

Powell, Walter Powell, sad Thomas Powell, the three sees
of tie deceased, were next examioed, and they said that
the key of the safe was kept in a writing desk.
The safe bad been unlocked with the key,
and the original will of Mr. Powell, a marriage settlement,
railway scrip, and other papers, were stolen. The key, along
with other keys, was left on the table. A cloth and a pair
of boots were also takes, but there was nothing stolen of
substantial value to any one but the family. William
Williams, one of the executors, and • son-in-law of de-
ceased, detailed the steps taken after the robbery. A
reward was offend, which was ultimately increase** 1001.,
for the recovery of the documents. Mrs. Powell received

THE POLISH QUESTION.

The Vienna Pease says that the Russian am-
bassador in that city has received orders to leave,
and that M. de Budberg and Baron Brunnow have
instructions to hold themselves ready to leave at
any moment.
The Temps of to-day strongly urges France and
England to recognise Poland as a belligerent
power. The neutrality of Europe, which
now crushes the Poles, would then, argues the
Temps, become for them a protection and a force. "It
belongs to France," says the Temps, "to take this
generous initiative and to close the period of nego-
dons arrived now at their proper end by a step
which, without precipitating war, would exhaust
the last chances of peace and render possible, if not
probable, the solution sought by the Powers."

THE PRODUCE MARKETS LED THE HARVEST.

With reference to the produce markets and to the

The rain of this week is described to have produced as
imalcniably beneficial effect. sad flew each district the
