LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
CARTLIDGE V. CARTLIDGE.

This was a suit instituted for the dissolution of marriage
by the wife against the husband.
The parties were resident in Chesterfield, the respondent
carrying on the business of a glass dealer. The wife
it appeared had an income of about £6O per annum previous
to her marriage, and it was afterward• so arranged that
the husband was precluded from all merest therein. The
cause which led to the first difference between the parties
was the circumstance of respondent placing in the hands
of his sister all the management of the business
during his absence, and ultimately the whole direction
of the household affairs. This led to continued differences,
the wife feeling that she was quite superseded in the
management of the house. The respondent, she alleged,
treated her with great cruelty, and aggravated the treat-
ment by committing adultery with several women of the
lowest description. The defence was that the petitioner
was a person of violent temperament, and that her own
incapacity to attend to business was the cause of the respon-
dent having his sister in his house,
The case commenc.d yesterday, and up to going to press
this afternoon the examination of witnesses was Kill being
proceeded with.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,---This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SYSTEMATIC ROBBERIES —Mary Ann Sullivan was
charged before Mr. Knox as follows : Rob rt Simmingtou,
jun., son of Mr. Simmington, draper, of 33, Charles-street,
Marylebone, said that on the previous afternoon the priso-
ner walked up to the door of the shop and took some pairs
of stockings from the place where they were hanging, and,
planing them under her shawl, walked away. His brother
brought the prisoner back, and the stockings were found in
her possession.
In answer to Mr. Knox, the witness said that he had
observed the prisoner about the shop for the last 14 days,
and, suspecting that she intended to steal some of the goods,
he watched her.

A constable said that on searching the prisoner he found
two pairs of women's boots upon her, evidently just stolen,
from their being fastened together. He believed she had
been convicted before, and wished for a remand.

Mr. Knox lernanded the prisoner, who had no questions
to ask, for a week.

THAMES.

COAL STEALING ON THE RlVER,—Henry White, a no-
torious thief, was brought before Mr. Self() charged with
stealing 56Ibs. of coals from a barge, the property of Mr.
William Cury and others.

George Goode, a police constable of the Thames division,
No. 13, stated that about eight o'clock last night he was off
Cole-stains, Shadwell, in a police galley, and saw the pri-
soner on the land near Mr. Cory's coal barges, He went
on shore and watched the prisoner, who went on board a
barge called the " Deb" and put two lumps of coil into a
basket with which he came on shore. The prisoner walked
into his hands and was secured. The two pieces of coal
weigl as 5611),,.

The prisoner said in his defence that he was very sorry
for what he had done. It was his first offence and it should
be his last.

The prisoner's assertion that it was his first offence created
much surprise among the officers in court.

Cox, a police sergeant, 45 K, said the prisoner had been
repeatedly convicted summarily for various effence.s.
The prisoner—No such thing—it was my brother. We
are very much alike, and it is surprising what mistakes
have occurred in consequence. (A laugh.)
Roche, the gaoler of the court, here seig,d the prisoner's
right hand, and said, " Your brother lost three of his fingers
—you have lost none.
Mr. Sell'e—You know him, Roche ?

Roche—Yes, sir. He has been convicted 20 times in the
course of the last 12 years.

The Prisoner—lt was not me, sir. You would be sur-
prised how much me and my brother are alike. (Laughter.)
Roche—Yes, they are alike. Both have been convicted
hero repeat dy. The prisoner has had three or four years
in a reformatory. It did him no good.

The prisoner—lt was a mistake, Mr. Roche, it was my
brother. (Laughter.) You see how inconvenient it is for
two brothers to be so much alike. (More laughter.)
Mr. Selfe—l am afraid you are very much alike in
roguery.

The prisoner—l will admit taking one piece only, not two.
Mr. Sblfe—You are sentenced to three months' impri-
sonment and hard labour. If you are to be brought here
again you wilt be committed for trial.

up the hill by St. James and Pot-pourri, and others lying
some lengths in their rear. Approaching the House the
latter went to the front, closely attended by St. James and
Little Dick, Gavazzi and Tambourgi following side by side
next. In this way they ran along the Swan-meadows, but
on reaching the half-mile post Tambourgi ran past his
horses and for a brief period held possession of the lead,
and then dropped back—Gavazzi at the same time joined
the two leaders in Star. close. In a few strides after Pot-
pourri was beaten, leaving Vie race with Little Dick and
Gavazzi, the former having the lean, which he held to the

Several failures preceded the'start, in which the favourite
broke away and ran to the distance. When:the flag was
lowered Confusion, being the first away, came on with a
clear lead, with Abernethy and Batsman next, but before
they reached the half-mile post Abernethy rushed to the
front, and made strong running, with the favourite and Con-
fusion lying up, Sugarsti k bringing up the rear. At the
distance Abernethy was beaten, and his place was taken by
Batsman, who with Confusion and Lufra finished the race

was a bad third, and Abernethy fourth.

Suburban was the first off, and came past the stand a
length in advance of Dulcibella and Bonnycastle, the latter
running wide on the light ; then came Optimist and To-
lurno. These positions were retained until they fairly
entered the Lammas laud, where he was headed by Dul-
cibella, who, on going up tho bill, increased her lead,
Suburban going on second, Optimist third, with Bonny-
catle and the favourite bringing up the rear. On enter-
ing the meadows, at the far side•, Suburban joined Lord
Stamford's mare, the pair singling themselves away from
their followers, and raced across the Swan Meadows
for the lead, Tolurno, with Optimist at his quarter,
lying close up, the four joining issue as they reached
the half-mile post, and ran together to half way across
the Star enclosure, where the favourite obtained a
decided lead, and came in advance of Dulcibella into the
straight, where the latter was in trouble, and shortly after
gave way to Suburban and Optimist, the former coming up
on the upper ground, and the latter next the rails, and
joined Tolurno at the enclosure, had him beaten in a few
strides, and finished the race home together, Suburban full
of runnin ; winning in a canter by a length, four lengths
separating the second and third. Dulcibella finished a bad
fourth, and BonnycAstle last, beaten off a long way.

agst the Area filly and Faith, and 20 to 1 agst Royston.
A tedious delay took place at the post, upwards of an
hour being lost before Mr. M'George could in any way get
them in order. At length the signal was given to one of the
most unsatisfactory starts, the'horses being widely spread at
the time. Starbeam,with Whitefield at her girths, got away
several lengths in advance of L-.61y Nichol next the rails,
the three a little distance in front of Chiquot the Jester,
Jane Shore, Royston, and Sorceress, who came on i n a body

were left at the post, At tho half distance Starbeam got

tance; Lady Nichol, who was chopped early in the race,
never fairly got up, and was beaten by two lengths,

Royston next; the others were pulling up as they passed
the post. On returning to scale Lord Bateman lodged a

Mutineer started with the lead, followed by Mary
Stewart, the Prophet, and Little Dick, in the order we have
given them to the hurdle opposite the stand, which was
cleared by Mary Stewart in advance, but she was shortly
after headed by Mr. Hudson's horse, who went on with the
running, attended by Mary Stewart, the Prophet, and Lit-
tle Dick. Both hurdles were placed in the meadows at
the foot of the hill, at which the favourite blundered and
fell, and unhorsed Knott, which left the two leaders a long
way in advance of Little D;ck. On rounding the turn into
the straight Mutineer somewhat increased his lead, waited
upon Mary Stewart and Little Dick, to the hurdles at the
distance, which the latter struck heavily and nearly came
down, but he was soon righted, and before Mutineer reached
the stand he was at his side, and won in a canter by a
length; a bad third,

offered). No change upon any other event. Closing

The Bishop of Orleans on Poland.

The Bishop of Orleans has published the follow-
ing reply to the appeal made by M. E. Quinet to
the Catholic clergy in favour of Poland :

Sir,—Among the astonishing events which one
often experiences in these extraordinary times, it
has rarely happened to me to meet any equal to
that caused by the appeal to the Catholic clergy,
published by you in the columns of the Siecle and
of the Opinion Nationale. It is you, sir, who some
years since wrote this phrase—" Catholicism must
be dishonoured—that is not enough, it must be
smothered in mud." Son and Pontiff of the Catho-
lic Church, my hand trembles in copying this out-
rage. I must surmount a strong repugnance in order
to write to the author, and you would esteem me
but little if I entertained any other feeling. You
would laugh at my credulity if I did not mistrust
the prayers you address to-day to that clergy whose
faith you so cruelly attacked yesterday, and whose
honour you wound even in that prayer. Neverthe-
less, I will—l ought—to respond to a challenge so
strange that one asks oneself, while reading it,
whether it is an homage or an insult—a snare or a
defiance.

You accuse us in the first words of taking our
place on the strongest side, This calumny enrages
me. We are i❑ Great Britain on the side of Ire-
land, in the East for the Christians of the Lebanon,
in America on the side of the slaves, in Russia on
the side of Poland, in Italy on the side of the Pope,
throughout the entire world on the side of the weak,
the poor, the children, the deserted ; on the side of
modesty, conscience, probity, of all bete below that
is buffeted, insulted, crucified with Jesus Christ.
That is how we are on the strongest side.

You say that we have during the last century
broken the heart of Poland. When I open the his-
tory of the last century I see that Pope Clement
XIII. wrote on April. 30, 1767, to the King 01
France, to the King of Spain, to the Emperor of
Germany, in favour of Poland ; that Clement XIV
again recommended that great cause on Sept. 7.
1774, 15 days before he appeared before God; that
20 times—bear this in mind—in public and solemn
documents these two Popes alone in Europe pro-
tested with all the energy inspired by faith, charity,
love of justice, against the iniquity of the conques,
and partition.
And I read in the same history of the last cen
tury that on the 18th of November, 1773, Voltaire
wrote to the King of Prusia, " It is pretended that
it was you, sire, who imagined the partition of
Poland ; and I believe it, because it was a stroke of
genius."
After this strange exordium of the prayer you
address to us, what, sir, do you finally demand o:
us ? Our money ? We are ready to give it for th,
victims. But you say yourself that there is no ques-
tion here of collections. Our words? Who then
has spoken during a century ?—who have written
so eloquently—who are petitioning at this moment
for the Poles more than the Catholics? Is it not
one of us, the Count de Maistre, who from the first
proclaimed the partition of Poland execrable ?
What do you want, then ? Acts ? What acts P
That we should march forward; that we should
sound the tocsin ; in a word, that we should make
an appeal to arms ?

I answer you. All that can be done by the clergy
the Potieh clergy arc doing valiantly. They bless,
they console, they care, they support. The churches
are open to the wounded; the priests fear not to
expose themselves to all perils in order to succour
their brethren, and I bless them for it.

When one knows what has passed and is passing
on that land--what souls and faith have suffered
there during a century, it is impossible not to feel
tiat there is a great Catholic cause there, The
Polish clergy is national, and there is not a single
priest among them whose heart does not beat with
'he heart of his country.
You wish that we should preach war. Should wt-
lo so, are you certain that some of your party would
not remind us that we are ministers of peace ?
Could ye not, however, do more than we are do-
ing—speak louder and excite all hearts for this un
Fortunate nation P I examine not whether we could
do so; but, if we do not, who prevents us? It is
you ; yes, you, who al ways drive the clergy behind
he altar, and who call them forward when that
suits you ; you, who fetter them, and then reproach
them for not acting ; you, who wished that arms
should be laid down at Castelfidardo, and wish that
they should be taken up at Warsaw ; you, who ex-
hort them to silence when they speak of defending
themselves against you, and to be violent when you
;hink they may assist you.
There is something more serious on this occasion,
which both the most elevated and the gravest inte-
rests of Poland induce me to tell you. It is you,
Sir, and those who follow you—it is you who not
only cast a cloud over, but destroy the best causes,
by meddling with them ; you who render liberty
respected, and ruin it by uniting with force and
-evolution, which destroy it. An honourable man
does not know how to move, pressed between two
obstacles—laws which prevent what he wishes to
say—parties which corrupt what he wishes to
accomplish.

If we could give the signal you de►zand, who
would come to the meeting ? Tho3e not called on.
We could induce generous souls and Christian
heroes to hasten, and at your voice would come revo-
lutionists to fall on that noble and religious nation
to make it their prey. We could summon eagles,
and vultures would come. This is the great danger
of Poland. lam ready to obey you if you promise
that the revolution shall not meddle with it. If La
Vendee was great, it is because you were not there.
If 1789 was compromised, it is because you were
present.

Moreover, the signal is no longer to be given ; it
is done. Men are dying ; we are praying. What
shall happen to-morrow ? Should God permit it,
the victory or defeat must be glorious—that Poland
shall come out of this unequal struggle more free
and more deserving than ever of love, compassion,
and respect.

You say that that nation will not be free except
through us. You are right_ Abandoned to revo-
lution, it should tremble for its liberty. But, no;
I entertain better hopes. The blood which flows is
fruitful when it is pure. Even victorious, were the
cause corrupted by the agitators throughout
Europe, it is lost—even vanquished, if served by
patriotism and faith only, it will rise again, for jus-
tice is eternally justice.
Do you know, sir, how should I wish to serve
Poland ? It is in the councils of the nations of
Europe. I would, at the cost of my blood, per
suede those who can accomplish what we cannot
that there is a great iniquity to be repaired, a right
scandalously violated to be restored, a bar-
rier necessary to Europe and to France, to be raised.
And may we never know to what extent we may
require that barrier, of which Providence so admi-
rably marked the place, and which has been so
imprudently and unworthily sacrificed.
FELIX, Bishop of Orleans.

FIRE AT BERMONDSEY.—Last night, between 7
and 8 o'clock, a fire took place in the range of pre-
mises belonging to Mr. T. Thacker and Co., export and
inland coopers, No. 20, Pages'-walk, Bermondsey. The
flames originated from some unexplained cause in a brick
and timber building used as the workshops. Adjoining the
building were other structures filled with goods, whilst the
open yard contained stocks of timber. The fire brigade
was soon in attendance, and the supply of water was good.
At a little before midnight the firemen had succeeded in
getting the flames extinguished, but not until the work-
shops and their contents were nearly destroyed, including
the men's working tools, and part of the roofs burned off.
The sufferero wero insured in the Phosniz.
