ADMIRAL NELSON'S VICTORY.

reprinted in both from a London Gazette extra-
ordinary are the official documents relating

to that victory. Among them the Rear-
Admiral's letter to the then Secretary to
the Admiralty EVAN NEPEAN Esq., enclosing
the despatch recounting in many of its details the
incidents of that glorious victory won on the Ist
of August, over the French fleet, at the mouth of
the Nile near Aboukir ! A despatch dated from on
board the VAnguard two days after the battle ;
signed HORATIO NELSON; beginning " Nly Lord,
Almighty GOD has blessed his MAJESTY'S arms
and addressed to the then First Lord of the Ad-

miralty, the Earl of ST. VINCENT. Following these
documents come the catalogues of the English and
French Fleets numbered, the former up to 14 the
latter up to 17, according to their position in the
line-of-battle. Afterwards there are the lists of the
killed and wounded.

There is in neither hardly anything that can
be called, even by courtesy, a leading article,
in spite even of the temptation to the writing
of such in the receipt just then of the grand
record of the glorious victory of the Nile. Running
comments, there are, among the official documents,
connecting them together, but nothing else in
any way approximating to a faint resemblance to
what is known now as a Leader. The
illuminations are described as having been
very general throughout the metropolis, though
they were of course hastily arranged, not by order,
but quite spontaneously and
upon the spur of the
moment.
It should be remarked at once, that whereas
The 'Limes of Wednesday
morning, the 3d
of October, announces the news of the Victor
makes mention of the overnight's illuminations,
Stm of the previous evening, Tuesday, the 2d
of October, had already given to the town the first
tidings of the great event ! Beginning its account
of ADMIRAL NELSON'S VICTORY with—" We lose
not a moment in giving to the public such
details of this glorious event es have come to our
knowledge." The record ending thus—" It is almost
unnecessary to observe that this intelligence has
thrown the whole metropolis into a transport of
joy." These being the opening and closing remarks
of the earliest announcement of the Battle of the
Nile as given to the public in Pe Sun of Tuesday,
the 2d of October.

LAW IN'

.This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.

NORRIS Y. NORRIS AND FLAHERTY.

This was a petition presented by the husband for disso-
lution of marriage.
The petitioner was a clerk in the accountant's office of
the Great Eastern Railway, and the co-respondent was a
porter in Covent-garden market. The marriage took place
in 1863 at St. Margin's Church. The cohabitation with the
co-respondent was proved to have taken place in a house in
Little Wild-street, Drury-lane, and also at a coffee-shop in
Seymour-street, Euston-square. At the latter place a con-
stable was called in to take the co-respondent into custody
for assaulting Mrs. Norris, for which he was after-
wards sent to the House of Correction Coldbath-
fields prison for three months, where he was served with a
copy of the citation and petition. The respondent was also
served with copies of the documents, and she afterwards
ciolled at the office of Mr. Beard, and admitted her euilt.
The learned judge summed up the case to the jury,
which he said was about as low a case as could some before
the court. They would have to estimate the damage the
husband had sustained. According to his view of the case,
she did not seem to be worth more than a farthing.
The jury immediately returned a verdict for the peti-
tioner, with one farthing damages.
The Court granted a decree nisi.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
BEADLE V. HOWARD.
The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in
hearing counsel in an application for a new trial in this case.
which was tried some short time ago at Guildhall. The
question involved was the infringement of a patent for a
steam plough.

RUSSIA.
(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.)

ST. PETERSBURG, MAY 2.

The chances of a naval war are now the topic of
warm discussion. The Governor-General of Fin-
land in his report speaks of a growing restlessness
of the people and of their Scandinavian tendencies,
and urges the Government to increase the
Russian forces in the Grand Duchy. In the mean-
time 12 vessels of war, mostly steamers, are being
armed. Three vessels are already cruising, and
six more will shortly leave Cronstadt.
In a note to the Governor-General of Moscow,
the Emperor thanks the capital, which he calls the
" dearly beloved city of his birth," for the address
conveying the expression of their loyal sentiments.
In his reply to the deputation by whom the ad-
dress was presented, the Emperor said—" I still
have hope that we may avoid a general war. If,
however, war should be our destiny, I am convinced
we shall know how to defend the boundaries of
the empire and the countries which are inseparably
connected with it."

The order of St. Vladimir of the first class has
been conferred upon the promoters of the address.
A special reward has been instituted and confer-
red upon all high officials who co-operated in the
emancipation of the serfs.

ROB A DI ROMA.
By WILLIAM W. STORY.
"Whoever reads this book will rise from its perusal as well
acquainted with the out of door life of Rome as if he had
spent years in the Eternal City. Nothing calculated to fix
the attention or excite the interest of a stranger is emitted
by Mr. Story in the ample record of his experience, which
teems with the most vivid recollections, and is expressed by
the most picturesque details. An enumeration of the contents
of his volum.s is like the bill of fare of a promising dinner,
and the contents themselves resemble the dinner when the
cookery is first rate."—Examiner.

ANNOTING FEMALES IN TUE STREET.—George Robert.
son, of 24, Clifton road, St. John's-wood, a commission
agent, was charged before Mr. Mansfield, who sat for Mr
Knox, with annoying females in Oxford-street.
From the evidence of a constable of the D division it
appeared that while on duty in Duke-street, Oxford-street,
the previous night, he was informed by a gentleman that
the defendant was annoying females passing along Oxford-
street, He requested the defendant to go away quietly, and
not to annoy anyone, but as he refused, he took him into
custody.
Mr. Mansfield asked what the defendant had done to
the females.
The constable said the defendant put his arms round
their necks and pulled them about. The defendant had
bcen drinking.
Mr. Mansfield (the defendant having nothing to say) im-
posed a flue of 405., or, in default, 14 days' imprisonment.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.

NORRIS V. NORRIS AND FL.HERTY.

This was a petition presented by the husband for disso-
lution of marriage.
The petitioner was a clerk in the accountant's office of
the Great Eastern Railway, and the co-respondent was a
porter in Covent-garden market. The marriage took place
in 1853 at St. Martin's Church. The cohabitation with the
co-respondent was proved to have taken place in a house in
Little Wild-street, Drury-lane, and also at a coffee-shop in
Seymour-street, Euston-square. At the latter place a con-
stable was called in to take the co-respondent into custody
for assaulting Mrs. Norris, for which he was after-
wards sent to the House of Correction Coldbath-
fields prison for three months, where he was served with a
copy of the citation and petition. The respondent was also
served with copies of the documents, and she afterwards
c9lled at the office of Mr. Beard, and admitted her euilt.
The learned judge summed up the case to the jury,
which he said was about as low a case as could some before
the court. They would have to estimate the damage the
husband had sustained. According to his view of the case,
she did not seem to be worth more than a farthing.
The jury immediately returned a verdict for the peti-
tioner, with one farthing damages.
The Court granted a decree nisi.

COURT OF conmoN PLEAS.
BEADLE V. HOWARD.
The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in
hearing counsel in an application for a new trial in this cast,,
which was tried some short time ago at Guildhall. The
question involved was the infringement of a patent for a
steam plough.

PENNY-A-LINERS !

These writers never allow us to go anywhere;
we always proceed. A man was going home, is set
down " an individual was proceeding to his resi-
dence." We never eat, but always partake, even
though we happen to eat up the whole of the thing
mentioned, In court, counsel asks a witness,
" Did you have anything to eat there ?" " Yes."
.4 What was it ?" " A bun." Now go to the
report in the paper, and you'll be sure to find
that 64 witness confessed to having pavtaken of a
bun," as if some oue else shared it with him. We
never hear of a place ; it is always a locality.
Nothing is ever placed, but always located. " Most
of the people of the place" would be a terrible
vulgarism to these gentlemen ; it must be " the
majority of the residents in the locality," Then
no one lives in rooms, but always in " apartments."
" Good lodgings" would be far too meagre; so we
have "eligible apartments." No man ever shows
any feeling, but always "evinces" it. This "evince,"
by the way, is oue of the most odioug words in all
this catalogue of vulgarities, for such they really
are. Everybody " evinces" everything. No one
asks, but "evinces a desire." No one is hurt, 1;14
" evinces a sense of suffering." No one thanks
another, but " evinces gratitude." I remember,
when the French band of the " Guides" were in
this country, reading in the Illustrated News, that
as they proceeded, of course, along the streets of
the metropolis (we never read of London ind
polite
does
journals), they were vehemently (everyb
everything vehemently) cheered by the
populace (that is the genteel name for
the
p eeo p Ymbllee ).d
And what do you suppose the Frenchmen did in
return P Of course, something very different from
what Englishmen would have done under similar
circumstances. But did they toss up their caps,
and cry, "Vivo l'Angleterre ?" The Illustrated News
did not condescend to enter into such details ; all
it told us was that they " evinced a reciprocity ! "
Again, we never begin anything in the newspapers
now, but always commence. I read lately in a
Taunton paper, that a horse " commenced kicking,"
And the printers seem to think it quite wrong to
violate this rule. lirpeatedly, in drawing
handbills for charity sermons, I have written uP

The Railway Bridge across Ludgate•hill.

REASONS WHY ALL PERSONS—CITIZENS OR NOT
CITI-
ZENS—WHO TAKE A PRIDE IN OUR METROPOLIS, ARE
DETERMINED TO OPPOSE THE RAILWAY BRIDGE
ACROSS LUDGATE-HILL.
Because it is wholly unnecessary while a tunnel can be
made.

Because this unnecessary project will destroy 130 houses,
and wantonly turn 700 poor people out of their homes,
Because it will stop up nearly four acres of public road-
way, and destroy every thoroughfare running east and west
between Earl-street, Blackfriars, and Snow-hill, except
Ludgate-hill.
Because it will destroy Ludgate-hill in a more cruel way
—by slow torture.
Because it will add to the crowding and complications of
a traffic which already often numbers 7,000 vehicles in the
course of an hour.
Because the noise of trains constantly running over this
choked-up stream of vehicles at a height of 18 feet from the
ground, must alarm the horses, and increase the accidents,
which are already too numerous.
Because such bridges are always gloomy, unsightly tanks,
constantly dripping on to the heads of the passers under-
neath.
Because any railway bridge will shortly destroy the
business character of Ludgate-hill—the Regent• street of
the City.
Becalm hundreds cf traders will suffer, who will have
no claims for comrensation.
Because this particular bridge will shut out the lower
view of St. Paul's, and so far undo all that tbo Cor-
poration has been trying to do for years at an enormous
cost.
Because the old Lud• Gate, which stood across the
hill, was removed as an obstructio.6o. and we are notn, at the request of
the inhabitants of London, in 1/
willing to go back in taste and public spirit more than 100
years.
Because London is quite ugly enough already.
Because the old company, having ahand, ned this part of
their project to a new company, and being confessedly un-
able to carry it out without new powers from Parliament,
the whole subject is now brought again before the
tore, as fully as if no bill had ever been passed.

BLOCKADE RUNNEL—lntelligence WBB received
at Greenock on Monday that the paddle steamer
Rugby had been convoyed by her Majesty's steamer
Ariadne to Havannah from Matanzas, where she had been
blockaded by two Federal men of war. She had just run
the blaokade with a cargo of cotton.

BITION BUILDING.

Lord R. CECIL asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether the report was true that tho Government had
offered or intended to become purchasers of the building in
which the Exhibition of 1862 was contained; and, if so,
what rum they proposed to pay for h, and at what period
of the session they intended to bring forward the estimate.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had
nothing to add to the reply which ho had given to a simi-
lar question a short time ago. Ho was not able to make
any flesh statement. But should the Government deter-
mine to purchase the building, the matter would be quickly
communicated to the house, and ample time given for the
discussion of any estimate that might be asked for its pur-
chase.

ADMIRAL NELSON'S VICTORY.

reprinted in both from a London Gazette extra-
ordinary aro the official documents relating
to that victory. Among them the Rear-
Admiral's letter to the then Secretary to
the Admiralty EVAN NEPEAN Esq., enclosing
the despatch recounting in many of its details the
incidents of that glorious victory won on the Isr
of August, over the French fleet, at the mouth of
the Nile near Aboukir ! A despatch dated from on
board the Vanguard two days after the battle ;
signed HORATIO NELSON ; beginning " My Lord,
Almighty GOD has blessed his MAJESTY'S arms :"
and addressed to the then First Lord of the Ad-
miralty, the Earl of ST. VINCENT. Following these
documents come the catalogues of the English and
French Fleets numbered, the former up to 14 the
latter up to 17, according to their position in the
line-of-battle. Afterwards there are the lists of the
killed end wounded.

There is in neither hardly anyt“hin,, that can
be called, even by courtesy, a leading article,
in spite even of the temptation to the writing
of such in the receipt just then of the grand
record of the glorious victory of the Nile. Running
comments, there are, among the official documents,
connecting them together, but nothing else in
any way approximating to a faint resemblance to
what is known now as a Leader. The
illuminations are described as having been
very general throughout the metropolis, though
they were of course hastily arranged, not by order,
but quite spontaneously and upon the spur of the
moment.

ft should be remarked at once, that whereas I

The Sun of the previous evening, Tuesday, the 2d

tidings of the great event' Beginning its account
of ADMIRAL NELSON'S VICTORY with—" We lose
not a moment in giving to the public such
details of this glorious event as have come to our
knowledge." The record ending thus—" It is almost
unnecessary to observe that this intelligence has
thrown the whole metropolis into a transport of

of the earliest announcement of the Battle of th(
Nile as given to the public in The Sun of Tuesday,
