COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.

Melon 7.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
STARLIT T. STARKEY AND IRWIN.

The petitioner, a shoemaker at Liverpool, married the
respondent, the daughter of a journeyman cabinet-maker,
In February, 1848. There had been four children, of whom
only two survived. In 1836 the respondent took to drink,
which led to much unhappiness with her husband ; but in
one of the quarrels which ensued it was alleged that her
father and brother fell on the husband, beat him,
and took the respondent away. He awn enlisted
in the Marines ; but after he had sieved a year
he raised money on a little property which he had
'in reversion and procured his discharge. He then resumed
I the cohabitation ; and iu April, 1858, wishing to try the
effect of a change of asseociations on his wife, he sailed for
America, leaving her in a small greengrocery business by
way of provision. Not liking ..kmerins, however, he re-
turned in the followiog July, and found that an improper
familiarity had existed between his wife and the co-re-
spoodent, a recruiting sergeant in the Royal Artillery. The
respondent pleaded a denial, and charged the petitioner
with cruelty and consorting with divers prostitutes. A
good deal of evidence was given in support of these allega-
tions.
Mr. Brett, Q.C., and Dr. Sphilos appeared for the peti-
tioner; Dr. lhillimure, Q.C., and Mr. Pritchard fur the
respondent.
jury, after consulting for about an hour, found that
the charges on both side* had all been fully proved.
The Judge observed that the case was a specimen of low
life in Liverpool ; and took time to consider how he would
act upon the vsediet.

This case involved a question of public importance at the

better on the turf, was discharged under the act in the year
1855, when be owed 1,7681. ; and under the will of his
father, which was made in 1858' , and proved in January
kit, the insolvent was entitled to oneminth share of his
real and personal estate, the latter being sworn under
25,0001., and there was more than sufficient to pay all the
creditors under the insolvency.
Mr. Macrae applied, on the part of the provisional as•
t ttme, for a rule to make the property available under the
The learned counsel took occasion to allude to the
new bill in the House of Commons, and said if it was passed
as wished by the Attorney-Genend, future property would
be protected, and such a case as the present could not
occur. . .

Mr. Comminioner Nichols thought there was a provision
in the new measure to make future pnipertv liable.
Mr. Macrae said only in eases of n imotiduct, and this
ease would not occur. Now, however, the creditors would
bignourt granted two rules to make the property avail-
able.

ROME.

Kneel

The Abbol Psasaglia speaks very mysteriously
since his return from Turin. The other day he
had a conversation with Cardinal Antonelli, in the
course of which he told him that the Holy See
would do well to think seriously of the gravity of
the situation, and that the maintenance of the
stabs quo was impossible. The cardinal is said to
have replied that under existing circumstances
any compromise was out of the question. " That
is not the opinion of all the cardinals," rejoined
Professor Paasaglia, "and I can assure your
Eminence that six or seven of them desire to come
to an understanding with Piedmont." " I cannot
believe it," said Mgr. Antonelli, "and I beg you
to give me the names of the cardinals you allude to,
for I consider what you have just said is offensive
to them." Passaglia went on to observe, that in
opposing every attempt to effect a reconciliation
with Piedmont, the Holy See ran the risk of caus-
ing a schism in Italy. Hereupon the cardinal
hastily rose and bowed the Abh4 Passaglia out. I
understand that among the cardinals alluded to are
Mgri. Amat, de Pietro, Silvestri, and d'Andrea.
The apostolic preacher for Lent, Father Luigi
Puccheri, preached a remarkable sermon at the
Vatican yesterday, in the presence of the Pope and
several cardinals. He dwelt in a very marked
manner upon the duty of governments to listen to
the truth, and to surround themselves with coun-
cillors who would not keep the truth from them.
This sermon has made a great sensation, and I fear
the preacher will get into disgrace with Cardinal
Antonelli.

There is not a wall in Rome on which you do not
now see chalked up, " Viva Victor Emmanuel,
King of Italy."

Dr. Ltini has been assassinated himself by the

THE SIEGE OF CIVITELLA DEL TRONTO.

A letter of the 27th of February, from Am*li,
to the f.Paione, lays :
The following is the truth about the late events at Civi-
tel/a, as they appear to me to have been hitherto inoor-
really described; No groom had General Mesaacapo arrived
at Peens° than he sent the chief of his staff, Lieutenant-
Camel Pallavicini, with a white Bag, to offer to the
ag hadepd the eame conditions as hail been nted to the
ameinee of Gaeta. Unable to conclude Mg, hennaed
twenty pieces of various calibres to veyed, with
great difficulty, up the steep heights I enclose the
fortress. Here they were placed in Weary, and on the
morning of the Bth he opened fire. The place replied with
peat energy, as the besiegtxl had twenty guns, most of
them of heavy calibre. The firing lasted all day, and
did not cease on our side even in the night-time.
The rumour ran that serious disagreements existed among
the besieged. General Mezraatim, therefore, thought Bt
te tare this supposed but probable circumstance to account,
sad adored on the 2ith.st a very early hour, three columns

vials reap, they were assailed with a terrible fire of
pp* end musketry. After constant bet fruitless efforts
fee as hour and a ba/f, seeing that they could not succeed,
our men retreated is perfect order and with little loss,
which was owing to the impetuosity with which they
dashed towards the walls, where they were sheltered from
the direct firing. Wean sow working at the trenches, and
nese days will elapse before we attempt anything. The

TILE BERKELEY PEERAGE CASE.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had received a
letter from his noble and learned friend Lord Brougham,
who was in another part of the world, stating that the
reason why he was not present during the arguments in
the Berkeley Nerve case was because he was counsel in a
former case connected with the family of Berkeley and be
therefore abstained from giving any opinion in Inn nue,
although he did not dissent from the nwidausion arrived at.

THE SYRIAN QUESTION.
The Marquis of BATH said he wished to put a question
to the noble lord the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs
respecting a matter which nobody who had availed them-
selves of the usual sources of information could have failed
to take deep interest in. It was natural that thel shod"
teel great uneasiness on the growing understanding beMNt
Sonia and France on Turkish affairs, and the prolongation*,
the occupation of Syria would probablybe made used by the
Russian government as a direct raison for interfering with
the affairs of Bosnia and Bulgaria—a large part of the Ot-
toman empire—to maintain which empire in all its line-
arity this country had lavished both Moog and treasure.
He understood the French government Ind been most
strongly pressed upon by Lord John Rmeell to declare that
the occupation should be put an end to as speedily as possi-
ble, and he (the Marquis of Bath) thought that it would not
be necessary for him to show that a prolonged occupation
would be highly prejudicial to the interests of this country.
He begged to ask his noble friend whether the attention of
the government had been called to a despatch written by .
Prince Gortchakoff to Count Kneeled at Paris, instructing,...
him not only to support the French occupation, but also MX
support a proposition for an incomes of u.es on the numv.
ber of 6,000 mentioned in the convention of last outman?
He should be glad to know whether inch a proposition hat
been made in the Conference at Paris, and if so what OMANI
her Majesty's government would pursue.
Lord WODEHOUSE was understood to say that there
had been such a despatch as that to which his noble friend
had referred, from Prince Gortchakoff to Count Kineleti ;
but as regarded the course which would be pursued by her
Majesty's government at the Conferences at Paris, it was
obvious be could not give any information upon the subject
at present.

The persecution of the Liberal press continues.
On the 30th instant the responsible editor of La
Vented was condemned to seventeen months' impri-
sonment fora seditious libel ; the Contemporauee was
tried for an article on colonial affairs, but acquit-
ted ; and the itegenerueion and the Croaks de
Anoes Meade* were seized. More insurgents of
Loja had been condemned to different periods of
haul labour by the military tribunal iu that town,
making the total number to whom that species of
punishment has been applied 2118 ; in addition se-
veral persons have been sentenced to death. Some
of the journals affirm that the Moorish prince,
Muley-el-Abbss, is about to visit Madrid uu a
mission from his brother, the Emperor. The har-
vest in the province of Madrid is stated to be gene-
rally abundant.

Another disturbance 'ham just occurrel. at
Heidelberg, in which our countrymen were engaged. Ac-
cording to one story some English tourists being present at
a meeting of members of the National Verein, one of
their number, excited by the speeches and the beer com-
bined, thought proper to exhibit his loyalty by giving
the health of tho Queen. The proposal was, however,
treated with contemptuous silence by the Vereins men,
and the sitting continued quietly until midnight, when the
Englishmen were set upon, and had to beat a retreat after
• desperate fight. The other account is that our country-
pen misbehaved themselves throughait the entire evening
by insulting gestures and remarks ; that when the national
• was sung they interrupted it with groans and hisses,
and that thi. led to their forcible expulsion The follow.
lug evening the Englishmen mustered in greater numbers,
and proceeded in • body to the tavern where the sittings
were held, but the inmates having adopted the prudential
course of anticipating their arrival by shutting the doors,
lbw were baulked in their object of renewing the quarrel,
ad bad to retire. The next day the tourists quitted the
town.

A letter from Rome, dated Saturday, says :—" His
Holism continues to give public proofs of his restored health
by frequently attending church ceremonies in the morning,
and driving out in the oountry in the afternoon. He will
soon perform a longer excursion than usual, in order to ful•
fil his promise to Monsignors Hohenlohe of a visit at Tivoli,
where that prelate occupies the Villa d'Eate, by special per-
mimion of the Duke of Modena, to whom that once mag-
nificent property now belongs. Monsignore Hohenlohe has
been lately spending a good deal of money in restoring the
dilapidated splendours of the villa, not, of course. on its
claque (yob, scale of grandeur, but with a sufficient
amuuut of deonation and furniture to allow of his offer-
ing a hospitable reception to the Supreme Pontiff and his
, court suite."

THE LORD WARDEN AT DOVER.

Yesterday Lord Palmerston attended the first
meeting of the new board of Harbour Commissioners ap-
pointed under the act of last session, by which the manage-
ment of Dover Harbour undergoes considerable change. His
lordship rude over from Warner Castle accompanied by
lady Palmerston, the Hon. Mr. Cowper, M.P., and Mrs-
Cowper, who remained at the Lord Warden Hotel, while
Lord Palmerston attended at the Harbour House to preside
over the meeting above referred to. The new commission
consists of seven members, all of whom were present, viz.,
the Lord Warden, president ; Captain Noble, R.N., repre-
senting the Admiralty ; Mr. S. M. Latham, the Board of
Trade ; Mr. Gordon Thompson, the South-Eastern Rail-
way Company ; Mr. 0. F. Holroyd, the Loucks, Chat-
hem, and Dover Railway Company ; and the Mayor of Dover
(Mr. J. Birmingham) and the Deputy Mayor (Mr. J. C.
Ottawa), oa behalf of the burgesses. The principal bushier
transacted was the appointment of officials, as follows :
Mr. James Stilwell, registrar; Mr. Richard Irons, harbour
master ; Mr. Richard Atherden, deputy harbour master.
Mr. Poundere (collector of customs) was reappointed as the
collector of dues ; and Mr. L. Stride as treasurer. Appli.
cations were sent iu by Mr. R. Rees and Mr. Deuce for the
appointment of receiver of rents, surveyor, and resident
engineer, but the commissioners postponed the election, and
it appeared to be the general impression that it
would be desirable to divide the.. offices. At the
conclusion of the meeting, the lard Warden rejoined
lady Palmerston and Mr. sad Mrs. Cowper, and pro-
ceeded from the Lord Warden Hotel to the
Admiralty pier, for the purpose of inspecting the works
already executed in connexion with that undertaking, and
still in progress, under Mesas. Lee and Soo. His lordship
was attended by Captain Triscott, R.N., naval superinten.
dent ; Mr. J. Walker, engineer ; and Mr. Deuce, resident
sngiaeer, by wham the various advantages of a national
character embraced in this magnificent atrwture were fully
explabsed. The more local operations in the inner harbour
wife afterwards inspected by his lordship, and Lord and
Lady Palmerston then returned to Widmer. The usual
&stet from the castle were dispensed with, at the express
wish of the noble Premier, both on his lordship's arrival
and departure.

THE AUSTRIAN CONCORDAT.

The Angsburg Gazette, referring to the presenoe
at Vienna of Mgr. Nardi, domestic chaplain of
the Pope, says " The government, convinced that
the Concordat requires modification, addressed
itself on this subject to the Roman Curie, which
has scut by Mgr. Nardi an announcement that it is
ready to treat upon the articles which require revi-
sion. A commission will probably be appointed at
once to settle this question, being named jointly
by the Holy See and the Austrian government."

ITALY.

TURIN, Ocr. 19.

The Diritto lately expressed a doubt whether the
French holders of the loan would regularly pay
the future calls. The Gazetta del Popolo, a minis-
terial journal, now betrays a similar apprehension
—sot only as to French subscribers, but as to all
others. Its article is likely to excite alarm ;it de-
scribes Italy as being at this moment in a situation
analogous to that of France in 'B9, and asks for a
universal tax, amounting to 301 r. a bead, such as
is paid in Piedmont, whereas the population of
Sicily does not pay more than ilfr. The author of
this article is M. Bottero, a deputy for Turin, one
of the staunchest supporters of the government,
and a man thoroughly versed in affairs of state.
He seems to think a new loan inevitable—a loan to
be met by largely increased taxation. It is much
to be hoped that when parliament meets M.
Bastoggi will be able to take a less gloomy view of
financial affairs.

lence, of which Dr. J. M'Cleland, inspector-gene-
ral of hospitals, is to be president.
Unusual inundations bad taken place in the
North-West, and life and property to a fearful ex-
tent had been sacrificed. Those who bad escaped
drowning were dying of starvation. The Bombay

weather continues favourable in every part of the
country for the maturing of the crops, and the
auspiciousness of the season calls for the greatest
thankfulness."

nexion with the collision which took place between the
House of 001111110111 and the Court of Queen's Bench, is
1840. Mr. Wheelton and Mr. Evans were the sheriffs of
London and Middlesex, and during their tenure of office a
case arose, followed by others of a similar eater., is which
Mr. Howard was the plaintiff and Sir William Gossett
the Seriemwat-Arms of the House of Commons, was the
defendant. The case was heard in the Queen's Bench,
and, the plaintiff having gained the victory, execution was
levied by order of the court upon the goods of the serjeast,
at-arnia. The duty of carrying out the execution was Of
eourse cast upon the sheriffs, sod they were orders,' to the
bar of the House of Commons, on the ground that they hvi
committed a breach of the privileges of parliament. The
House of Commons condemned them, and they were anklet'
into the custody of the serjeant-ateirins,by whom thee were
confined in one of the strong rooms of the Old Niece st
Westminster. By permission of the house they were
allowed to receive visitors, awl the consequence was that
thousands of visitors, including mauy of the most be
tinguished people in the laud, called upon them to ail
their respects, and to testify to their zeal in upholding the
law of the land. Upon a consultation between the Ltie
officers of the Grown, it was found that the 14°'
ceedings of the Court of Queen's Bench, 011
which Lord Denman then presided as Chief Justice.

Wheelton and Evans were again brought to the Lir of the

that they should be discharged front custody, awl tbe!

VENICE.

A Venice letter gives some details of the Em-
peror of Austria's visit to that city :
The Emperor arrived here in the middle of the night—a
circumstance which proves that he knows what are the
sentinients of the population, and for whom their hearts
heat. The podia* Count Bembo, however, hr 1 M.
Mark's square illuminated the next night d giomo. Some
malicious persons pretend that his doing so was
an epigram destined to demonstrate the complete
solitude which existed everywhere, notwithstand-
ing en excellent military band for more than two
hours played the most populrr overtures. But
them Venetians are obstinate and incorrigible in their
hared on the one hand, and their love on the other. They
were also absent from the Apollo Theatre when visited by
Hs Emperor, and likewise from the review which be preid
in the °amp° Marie, woompanied by a numerous daft.
His Majesty had on his right band the little Anibal's
Rodolphe—a circumstance which reminds one of Napoleon

side. In fact, since Senorita, the Austrians copy the
