to tell the jury that they must find in the affirmative on
both points to enable the plaintiff to recover.
Mr. Coleridge said he agreed in that. He only meant
that they were distinct polo* and for the purpose of
clearness it was desirable to consider them as distinct, and
as a matter of argument they were to be carefully kept
distinct, and they might find the affirmative conclution on
the one without necessarily involving the affirmative con-
clusion on the other.

The Lord Chief Justice—l apprehend there are three
questions for the jury. The final proposition resolved it.
self into two points, viz., did the defendant give the advice
stated in the declaration ; and if he gave it, was it negli-
gems on his part as an attorney?
Mr. Coleridge said his first point involved the two clues.
Lions as suggested by his lordship. What he ventured to
put first was, assuming that the advice given by the
defendant was what the plaintiff said, the question whether
it was or was not negligent or improper advice depended
upon what they thought was the state of the case at the time
it was before the Divorce Court; because what might
have been discovered since, unless it was present at
the defendant's mind at that time of comae formed
i no pert of the grounds on which the defendant gave that
advice, and oould have no effect, favourable orunfavourable,
to the defendant. As to the second proposition, as to
whether there was or was not a good ground of defence on
the part of the plaintiff in the Divorce Court, depended—
though, perhaps, in strict reasoning it was hardly so, and be
did not Imps or expect impossibilities—it must depend
on what they now thought of the case. And
the question was whether, after that, they now thought
there was or was not a good ground of defence against his
wife's suit in the Divorce Court. There were, as he knew,
two cases in the Divoroe Court, and although this action
had no reference to the suit by the plaintiff foe a divorce,
or formed no part of the charge in the declaration, it was
important for them to consider whether it was
wise or not to press that ease on first
for trial, and what had been its effect, because
the propriety or impropriety of the alnico the
defendant afterwards gave was founded in a great
extent on the result of that suit, and its effect on the
plaintiff's character. Mr. Kerslake had said that no
lawyer in Westminster Hall could doubt it was proper
to force re the divorce suit before the judicial
separation suit, but in that he begged to differ
from his leaned friend for two reasons—one, that
it placed the labouring oar immensely on the plaintiff, the
evidence of a %Mary being chiefly inferential, and only to
be obtained from the cross-examination of the witnesses,
as the persons chiefly interested in that suit could not be
examined. The evidence in the judicial separation
sail was most damning to the plaintiff's cha-
racter, and he was by the compromise prevented
from replying to it in the Divorce Court, and the advice
given by the defendant had brought about what was the
subject of this action. It was of the greatest possible im-
portance that his story and everything connected with the
case should be before the tribunal that had to decide the case,
and as it turned out afterwards without appeal. The cha-
racter and reputation for life of the plaintiff depended on
the suit. The defendant had a knowledge that there was
a conclusive answer to the wife's charge, though in this case
it had bees somewhat altered. After referring to the evi-
dence in the case the learned counsel said the team used by
the plaintiff that " he had been cajoled into a marriage."
had been unfairly pressed. What he meant was that he
WAS driven to marry by pressure of circum-
stances at the time when he for temporary reasons
did not want to =airy.

THE MURDER AT PORTSMOUTH.

(PROM OITH OWN RIXORTLII.)
PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY MORNING.

The borough police have arrested a young man
on suspicion of being the murderer of Caroline
Shoreland. He is an armourer on board her
Majesty's ship Excellent, named Benjamin Eve,
and suspicion fell upon him in consequence of
his having been seen drinking with the de-
ceased on the night previous to the murder till
half-past 12 o'clock, sad they were afterwards seen
together at the corner of Hereford-street. The police de-
tectives accordingly went on board the ship on
Friday afternoon, and on the prisoner's bag
being examined a blue serge was found on
the wrists of which were spots of what is supposed to be
haman blood, with a quantity of what looked like woman's
hair attached to it. When it was produced, and
without being questioned, the prisoner said—" That is my
serge, and I wore it last night." The prisoner
was then ordered to pull off his trouser; and
on these being examined a quantity of blood,
with human hair, was discovered on the in-
side of both legs ; he also voluntarily admitted
that he had worn these trousers on the previous
night. He was then charged with wilful murder, and replied,
" I know nothing of any murder," bat upon being shown
a likeness of the deceased, he at once said, "I think I wee
with that woman last night." It appears that when the
body of the deceased was seen by the police her bonnet was
lying close by, with the remains of both earrings, which
had been broken during the struggle. Her pocket was
turner out, and near it lay her purse, with a counterfeit
shilling in it. The prisoner is only 23 years of
of fair complexion, and boyish appearance. He was to be
brought before the borough magistrates this (Saturday)
morning, and an inquest will be opened to-night.

FORTY VESSELS WRECKED.

UPWARDS OF ONE•HUNDRED LIVES LOST.

(From the Western Times of this day.)
We deeply regret to have to record that the
effect, of the gale were meet fearful in Torbay, many vessels
have been driven ashore, and it is reported that a hundred
live' are la..

In the early part of the week there were several large
weasels sod numerous trawlers lying in Brixham Roads,
having put in for shelter from the south westerly gales.
On Wednesday night the wind went round to the east•
ward, blowing a hurricane, with a heavy fall of snow.
All the vessels in the Roads were exposed to its violence,
and several breaking from their moorings drove ashore.
Thursday's dawn disclosed the dreadful sight of the
wrecked vessels, many of which were on Broadaands.
The crews were partly saved, but many were
lost. Those who got ashore were in the most
shocking plight—half dead with cold and exhaustion. A
number of them were Spanish and Dutch, from foreign
barques that had foundered. All were taken charge of
by the people of the neighbourhood. As the day
advanced the gale continued, and the shipping
yet afloat was ever moment in the greatest danger. Alto-
gether forty vessels were driven ashore.

The Exeter and Plymouth Ga:ette says it is considered by
Mr. Nankivel, seamen's missionary, and others who are
likely to form the most accurate estimate, that 150 persons
and upwards perished during the gale.
The Brixham fishwives did a noble act. In the height of
the gale, when the cries of drowning men were mingled with
the howling of the wind, they brought out their mattresses
and bedding, and made a fire on the quay to indicate to
the shipwrecked sailors the entrance to the harbour.
The most frantic excitement prevailed throughout the
town, and many noble efforts were put forth to save life
and property. One noble woman, named Wheaton, wife
of a master mariner, saved two lives by throwing a rope
from the window of her house, which stands on the rocks
overhanging the bay at Furteharn-hill.
. .

At Biosaaands the Coast guardsmen were engaged in
throwing ropes to those on board the wrecked vessels,
which were within reach of the shore. Capta;n Jeffery
Searle and his two sons, volunteered to swim to the ships
in cork jackets, and they succeeded in taking ropes to the
ships amid the cheers of the assembled crowd. By this
means the crews were safely brought to shore. Mr. Hills,
of Churchstowe, rendered similar serAices with regard to a
vessel at Elbury.
. . . . .

The town during the whole of the day was in the greatest
state of excitement, and many a widow could be seen
weeping at her untimely loss. The ship iosurance com-
panies at Brixham and Teigamooth are reported to be
bossy losers. It is impossible to form en opinion uto the
real loss sustained or the whole, but it is thought by some
to amount to near a quarter of a million.

ANOTHER CAPTURE OF FERIANS IN IRELAND.

The Dublin Ereuing Mail of last night contains
an account of the seizure of a quantity of bullets, bullet
moulds, and some old weapons in a house in North Anne-
street, Dublin, and arrest of four young men who were on
the premises, one of whom had been allowed by the Crown
to stand out on bail to take his trial. The priNonersl were
brought before the magistrates yesterday and remanded.
On the person of one of them the following dotument in
print was found :
"A PROCLAMATION.
"TO THE IRISH PEOPLE.

"Citizen Soldiers,—Again we address you on the impor-
tance of the ouming struggle. To urge upon you the neces-
sity of prudence we shall not now do, as your put conduct
proves you to be men of prudence and discretion. But we
shall urge upon you the necessity of earnest preparation.
Let all true Irishmen understand one another. In •
country where it is • treason' to have a ride
it is necessary for you to put your weapons in conceal-
ment until the day of action. That grand work of libera-
tion shall soon begin. Soon shall our country have an
army of citizen soldiers ; soon shall the Sunburst shine
upon our hills. Our perfidious enemy, aware of the power
with which she will have to cope, is making every
preparation. She is fortifying her strongholds, barring her
prisons, arming her • loyal' subjects—amongst the rest
' Orangemen.' She is sending English and Scotch troops to
our country. But her strc ngholde shall give way ; her prison
doors shall fly open ; her arms and her troops become en
instrument against herself. She ban to contend against that
mightiest of powers —the outraged but almighty people. The
perjured press, in their fear, thunder out against us. They
and all Irish foes will have soon canae to regret the day they
worked against their country. We cell upon ►ll classes of
our countrymen, no matter what creed they protest. to stand
forth and be ready to aid in the liberation of Ireland. Ours
is no party coax. We embrace Protestants, Catho-
lics, Dissenters, and all who love Ireland. For
Ireland a Republic, for Ireland in freedom we work.
A band of patriots, bound together by all ties of
amity and patriotism, pledged to one another in the
sacred cause of liberty, may ere long commence that glorious
struggle for the accomplishment of which so many have
sacrificed their lives on the scaffold and in the field. Let
all true men hold themselves in readiness. We advise
sobriety, preparation, and prudence. Remember Emmet !
Think on your imprisoned countrymen !—By order of the
Vizilance Committee.

The prisoner O'Keefe was found guilty yesterday, and
was sentenced by Mr. Justice Fitzgerald to be kept in penal

It is understood that a second funeral of the late

No gold operations were reported at the Bank y€ 8
terday, but it is thought that withdrawals for the
Continent are not improbable, owing to the flatness
of the exchanges, the adverse tendency of which
arises chiefly from the magnitude of the shipments
of ;ever from Marseilles to the East on English
account. The Bombay packet of the 20th inst.,
from that port, is expected to take a large amount
of specie, the whole of which has yet to be paid for
from this side; and it is stated that engagements
have been made to forward considerable amounts
by the following steamers.
The America, from New York, has brought
44,5001. in specie.

Patti arrived in Paris on Wednesday night. At
Mtrseilles her reception can only be compared to than
which decay Lind met with in America. She sang first ia
Lucia and then in the Barbicre, and learnt her part is
French in tweatr•four hours, as the rest of the artistes
could not pronounce Italian. The last evening a perfect
ovation was prepared for her on her quitting the theatre.
The new Gonna of the musical world of Paris is
Millie. Urso, the celebrated violinistr, whom Sontag, whim
travelling in Americo, discovered to be endowed witk
artistic genie'. She introduced the child to the Conserva-
toire, whence, after some years of Wady, she emerged to
astonish her native country by her performance.

Oa Tuesday a cattle dealer was fined, at Ware-

dians thus cut out from the American market, and owing
United States traders, but Americans now purchasing
this market. It is estimated that 40,000 doll. worth et
live stock already purchased in this neighbourhood will be
thus cut off from the market for white they were intended.'

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC GORSIP.—The Academy
of Music, presided over by Mr. H. Leslie, has, we are
informed, ceased to exist. The concerts of the Philhar-
monic Society will commence on the sth of March. Mr.
(lye is in treaty with Marine. Nilsson for our Royal Italian
Opera. A new opera, "La Cau Diaabstata," composed by
Signor 0. Mariotti, is said in the Boedu eini journal, to
have been entirely sueeessful at one of the minor theatres
of Florence. The On:rrtr Mersfrafe speaks in terms of what
muy be called sedate praise of the music of M. Barthel
prize opera, "The Bride of Abydos," which has just been
produced at the Thi",:ere Lyrique. The lit,., t!" u found
incoherent, and affording but imperfect suggestion to the
composer. Madame Lemmem-Sherrington and Miss Laura
Harriv have " &goad" for the Italian Opera at Madrid. A
correspondeot from Germany requests us to anaemic* that
the original score of " Die Zsuberfliite," which is at Sadie,
is in the market. The sum demanded by its prevent pee.
manor, adds our friend, is 2,5110 theism, upwards of 4410 f.
English. It may be questioned whether any musical maw
script has ever fetched anything like so enormous a sun.
At the tenth G I,a nd/arts concert at Leipzig, a new sym-
phony, by M. Goavy, conducted by the composer (who
seems moldy to be beard of at Leipzic, rarely in Paris, sad
is utterly uuknown io England), was favourably received..

DEATH IN THE Rivca.—Yesterday Mr. W. J.
Payne, the City cormer, held an adjourned inquest at Me
Essex Head, Essex-street, upon the body of a soldier whisk
was dredged up by the siod-bag of the dredging barge a little
below Waterloo-bridge. The evidence of a great many wit-
nesses was taken, for at the first it was thought these bad
been fool play, as the body bore mark. of violence, which it
was believed were inflicted before death. The deceased,
George Milton, was a private in the Military Train. at Wool-
wich. end obtained leave of absence, w hich expired, it seemed,
on the 30th ult.; but the deceased told a young woman be
should not go in until Monday, the let inst., a course he
could adopt by losing his pay. He was seen by the yonag
vomits on the Saturday morning in Woolwich. and he said
he was going to London. He promised to return at nights
but no more was seen of him by her. He was seen. how-
ever, by others who knew him up to Saturday night, sad
late on Monday night or Tuesday morning early. A man
answering to his description was noticed wandering abode
Waterloo-bridge by the policeman sod toll-bar keeper, and
was taken by the former into the Strand. Some 14 home
after the body was found as described, but there was so
evidence to show how the man came into the river, and
verdict of " Found drowned " was returned.
THE SOUTH YORKSHIRE COLLIERS.—Terms be-
tween masters and men bays not yet been concluded at all
the pits, but the opposition of the masters so the generally
accepted concession of 5 per coot. advance and weekly
" pays" is wholly at an sod. A meeting of the Coalownere
Association we. bold in Barnsley on Thursday evening,
attended by those few employers who, in accordance with
the resolution adopted at a recent meeting, had refused I.
concede the advance as a permanent one. It was resolved,
in the face of the fact that other members of the assocs.
tion bad exceeded the terms agreed, that each coalowssr
remaining should make his own terms with his men. With
respect to the strike at Derlev Main it was, however,
agreed that the proprietors should be supported if the rasa
held out for unrsameable terms.
