THE MERRIII4C AND THE MONITOR.

(From the Mobile Register of March 18.)

We annex below a communication sent into Con-
gress (Confederate) on Thursday by the President,
with reference to this victory, and covering the
official report of the engagement :
" To THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF

of trophies to manufacturers only. Retail dealers,
who manufacture nothing, but sell almost every-
thing, have therefore seized upon the occasion to
erect their so-called trophies, and turn them into an

advertising column ugliEr, if possible, than that

celebrated French one which so long withstood the
assaults of the Duke of Wellington in front of
Apsley House. Had some rule of this kind as to

manufacturers been laid down at first, there would

have been no intrusion of tawdry vulgarities upon
the nave, such as the execrable toy trophy, and
which, in spite of its repainting, still remains so
paltry that it would be utterly beneath notice, but
for the offence it gives to everybody in the building,
English and foreign. Though this unhappy in-
truder is the worst of its class, it is not altogether
alone, for on the whole there is far from being an
improvement in the art designs of English exhibi-
tors of cases and trophies since 1851. Then so little
was attempted in the way of decoration of the cases
that none were much shocked at failures, but now
trophies are not only to be trophies of manufacture
but trophies of decoration also, and it is evidently
thought that the principal means to that end con-
sists in a profuse application of gilt and colour.
When proper artists have been employed of course
gold and colours are used sparingly and always
with the best effects, but in the majority of in-
stances the cases and f trophy-stands are strik-
ingly at variance with the good taste shown
by the same exhibitors in the manufacture
of the articles they themselves wish to dis-
play. Thus, Defries's great glass chandelier is a
noble specimen of good taste and artistic manufac-
ture, and yet the ambitiously-designed framework
from which it is to hang is conspicuously ugly both
in form and decoration. Naylor and Vicars, of
Sheffield, have put up a noble peal of cast-steel
bells, the largest of which weighs five tons. The
belfry framework of this peal was most effectively
decorated; but, not content with this, the belis them-
selves have now succumbed to artistic treatment,
have been painted ultramarine, varnished over, and
gilt. All semblance of their real nature, and the
cleanness of their casting has thus been completely
hidden, and, viewed from the floor, they now look
like so much papier-mache work. In these matters,
perhaps, every one has a right to his own bad taste,
but there are some things which are so conspicu-
ously offensive and ill-judged that the general
manager will interfere to procure their mitigation,
if not their removal, before the opening.

The Commissioners have given notice that at the
close of this day all empty packing-cases must be
removed out of the building, and have issued posi-
tive orders to the various superintendents to see
that this rule is carried into effect, whether the
owners of the packing-cases are ready to receive
them or not. But empty cases are not the only
obstructions. • It is those which are still full that
are chiefly in the way. Exhibitors should come
down to the building without loss of time, and see
to the unpacking of their goods, for they may depend
upon it that, after a certain date, the Commissioners
will be compelled to issue a stringent order against
more cases being unpacked until the opening has
taken place. Cases, both full and empty, were for
a long time an utter obstacle to progress in the an-
nexe for machinery in motion ; but since a party
of the Royal Naval Reserve men, under Captain
Maynard, have been sent down, the building has
been cleared, and is now progressing fast towards
its final adjustment and good order. At 10 o'clock
on Wednesday next the building will be cleared
entirely of all the exhibitors and their workmen.
There will positively be no relaxation or depar-
ture from this rule. The building will then be
swept out, dusted, and put in tolerable order, and
the full rehearsal of the great musical programme
proceeded with. All sorts of statements and mis-
statements as to the unfortunate differences which
have arisen as to who is to conduct certain portions
of the music have been afloat for some time, Into
these we certainly will not enter. The musical world
has long made up its mind as to the merits or de-
merits of the quarrel, and if it had not we should
never attempt to guide it to a decision one way or
the other. Where there are many musicians no one
expects harmony ; so it is sufficient to say that this
portion of the opening arrengements is complete.
The majority of the places from which the coun-
try chorus were selected have been visited by officers
of the Sacred Harmonic Society, and the musical
qualifications of those engagf d severely tested. As
the committee reserve to themselves the right of
similarly trying the capabilities of each performer,
on arrival in London, from those districts which it
has not been possible to visit, an amount of choral
excellence will be secured far exceeding that at any
former great musical ceremony.
The places and stands in the great orchestra are
all marked out. The band will occupy the front part
of the great platform—the violins disposed on the
right and the left, and the wind instruments in the
centre, the whole being flanked by the 90 double
basses and violoncellos, with the three sets of ket-
tledrums at equal distances in front of the chorus.
A considerable echo having been found to exist
under the dome, the orchestra will be covered at a
proper height with a drumhead-shaped, oiled and
hardened striped canvass awning, which will not
only destroy the echo, but materially aid in pro-
pelling the tone through the length of the nave and ,
the transepts.
All the music will be truly and entirely choral.
From the outset it was foreseen that, encum-
bered as the main avenues would be with lofty
trophies and hangings, solo voices would be
almost quite inaudible. Even the solo portions
of " God save the Queen" will be sung in unison
by all the voices ; and there is no doubt but that
the effect of this large mass of voices pealing down
the length of the nave will be immeasurably fine ;
it will be sung at the opening and conclusion of the
ceremony.
The " Hallelujah Chorus" and the " Amen
Chorus," from the Messiah, will also be performed.
The remaining vocal music will consist of an Ode
by Professor Bennett, the words by Tennyson.
This work is also entirly choral, with full orches-
tral accompaniments. Written and composed for
the occasion, and performed as it will be by nearly
2,500 carefully selected artistes, it will doubtless
prove a most valuable port ion of this great musical
display. At the request of the International Com-
missioners, M. Sainton will be the conductor of
Professor Bennett's Ode.
The instrumental music will comprise an over-
ture by Meyerbeer, written for the opening. The
parts are all engraved. It concludes with a well-
known English national air, and this coupled with
the high repute of this distinguished composer
renders it a work of great interest. The March by
Auber, also written at the request of the Commis-
sioners, will be equally interesting.
The official outline of the programme of the pro-
cession appears in another part of our impression.
Its great error—apart from those little inelegancies
of composition which have been peculiar to the
official notifications on this occasion—is that it
limits the hours for the arrival of visitors from 12
to half-past 1 o'clock. This rule is simply ridiculous.
Such a number of season tickets have been sold, and
the sale is now increasing with such rapidity, that
there will probably be not less than from 25,000 to
30,000 spectators in the building on Thursday next,
and this number cannot possibly set down from
their carriages and pass through the turnstiles in
the specified time. None, certainly, can be admitted
after half-past 1, but, unless the Commissioners
want to exclude a large proportion of the visitors
whom from the mere sale of tickets they know are
coming, they must open the building to the public ,
at 11, instead of 12. 1

[A DV EnTlSEXENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Inflammations of sensitive parts, piles, fistulas, and such
like painful diseases, may, without consulting any one, be
presently relieved and ultimately cured by the proper and
diligent use of thin cooling and healing ointment, whose
action should in such cases bo assisted by judicious doses
of Holloway's pills. Ere many days have elapsed the
anxious patient will experience a wonderful degree of ease
from this treatment. Doubts and fears will soon disap-
pear, and the sufferer will bless the day on which he first
applied these remedies. They are equally suitable to both
sexes, all ages, and any climate ; nor is their efficiency im-
paired by long keeping. Their action on tho frame is
soothing, safe, and certain.

TEE YELVE.RTON CASE.

The celebrated case of Thelwall v. 'Yelverton was
reopened in the Court of Common Pleas on Wednes-
day by the motion of Dr. Ball, Q.C., on behalf of
the defendant, the Hon. Major Yelverton,to amend
the bill of exceptions by omitting the finding of the
jury upon certain collateral issues mentioned—
namely, that a marriage, valid according to the
laws of Scotland, was contracted between the de-
fendant and Maria Theresa Longworth or Yelver-
ton, in Edinburgh, in March, 1857, and that a mar-
riage, valid according to the laws of Ireland, was
celebrated between theni in the Roman Catholic
chapel of Killowen in August, 1857. Mr. Ball
said it was an action brought by the plaintiff to
recover a sum of about £250 for goads, &c., sup-
plied to the defendant's wife. The defendant's
pleadings denied that the goods, &c., were supplied
to his wife ; and the issues raised on those pleadings
were, whether any goods were supplied by the
plaintiff to defendant's wife, &c. When the case
came for trial, at the sittings after Hilary Term,
1861, the plaintiff, to prove his case, produced Mrs.
Yelverton as a witness, and in the course of her
evidence she deposed to the celebration of two cere-
monies of marriage between her and the defendant ;
one a contract in Scotland, in March, 1857, per
verbs de presenti, and the other the perfotmance of
a ceremony in Ireland by a Roman Catholic clergy-
man at Kilowen, in the County Loath, in the month
of August, 1857. This question of marriage did not
arise on the pleadings but on the evidence. The
Chief Justice charged the jury, and pointed out to
them that this question of marriage must determine
the case. There might be a valid marriage either
in Scotland or Ireland. The jury, as stated in the
bill of exceptions, found that a marriage was en-
tered into, according to the law of Scotland, in
March, 1857, and that a marriage, according to
the law of Ireland, was solemnised in March,
1857, and that the goods were supplied to Mrs. Yel-
verton, &c. The defendant objected to this special
finding upon questions collateral to the questions
raised on the pleadings. These questions were, no
doubt, proper oues to be put to the jury, but were
not proper questions to be stated on the bill of
exceptions.
Judge Keogh—Were there any objections to them
questions being put to the jury ?
Sergeant Sullivan (with Messrs. Whiteside, Q.C.
and J. F. Townsend)—No, my lord; they went to
the jury by consent.
Mr. Ball—Upon a bill of exceptions parties were
not entitled to have a new trial motion. In the bill
of exceptions the verdict should not appear at all,
or anything but the exceptions. Counsel then re-
ferred to the statute of " Edward the First " on the
subject, and the case of "Davies v. Lounds," and
other cases, in support of his argument. The object
of the plaintiff was to have a bill of exceptions, and
at the same time to have the advantage of a new
trial motion, which was irregular. There were five
exceptions altogether, two to the charge as to the
Scotch marriage, and three as to the Irish marriage.
The Chief Justice said that when his attention
was called to the case he thought it doubtful
whether this matter should not be introduced in the
bill of exceptions ; and therefore he thought it bet-
ter to do so, and leave the defendant to move to
expunge it, as if he decided otherwise, and was
wrong, the plaintff might have no means of setting
him right.
Sergeant Sullivan—All the questions were sub-
mitted to the jury by consent.
Judge Christian—The jury, as it appears to me,
might not have been unanimous as to either of
the marriages, and yet the exceptions might have
been taken. Six of them might have been in
favour of the Scotch marriage and six for the
Irish marriage, which shows it is a collateral
question. As it happens, we know that they were
unanimous as to both questions.
Judge Keogh—l do not see how the jury could
have compounded two half marriages in the way
suggested by my brother Christian, in order to
make one valid one.
Mr. Whiteside—The jury must necessarily have
been unanimous as to one of the marriages, or
there could not have been a verdict for the plaintiff.
Mr, Ball, in continuation, contended that upon
the statute, and cases decided upon it, the Court
should strike out the findings on both marriages
from the bill of exceptions.
The Court then adjourned.

THE LATE FORGERY OF £445 ON

COUTTS' 8./11VX.

SUSPECTED MURDER AND ROBILERY

1N HOLBORN.

Yesterday Mr. Payne, the coroner for the City of
London resumed and concluded an inquest at St.
Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of Thomas
David Coade, a reader employed at the Morning
Chronicle office, who came to his death under very
mysterious and unexplained circumstances.
It appeared that deceased and a number of other
persons employed at the Morning Chronicle office,
held a meeting at the Ben Jonson Tavern, Shoe-
lane, Fleet-street, on Saturday night, the 6th inst.,
to caaelder what steps should be taken in conse-
quence of the stoppage of that paper, and after
attending that meeting the deceased left to go
home, At the corner of Brook-street, Holborn, he
was found the same night, under very extraordinary
and suspicious circumstances as stated in the follow-
ing evidence, his wife being unable to hear any
tidings of him for a week, and then she found him
in the above hospital.
Thomas Gregory, a compositor, said on Saturday
night, the 6th inst., he was, in the company of a
woman, about 11 o'clock, coming from Gray's-inn-
lane towards Brook-street, when the female who was
with him drew his attention to a man who was reel-
ing and staggering at the corner of Brook-street.
Another man had just left him, and was running in
the direction of Leather-lane. Two or three persons
had collected, and one of them asked witness to go
after the man and bring him back. Witness pur-
sued him down Leather- lane, where he lost sight of
him, and then returned to the spot where he left
the deceased. A policeman had come up, and the
female witness was supporting the man's head, and
her apron and hands were covered with blood. Wit-
ness suggested that the man should be taken to a sur-
geon at the corner of Castle-street, but the policeman
conveyed him to the hospital. He should not be able
to identify the man who ran away. but he was short
and wore a cap. He did not observe whether or not
he had his hands in deceased's pockets, but the
reason he ran after him was that he was under the
impression that the deceased had received some
injury from him. He could not tell whether
or not he had robbed him. The deceased was about
a foot from a lamp-post when he fell. When witness
got back to the deceased he was quite insensible.
Isabella Perry, the woman referred to, confirmed
the evidence of the last witness.
Mr. Moore, house surgeon, said the deceased was
brought into the hospital on the night of the 6th
of April, with a large lacerated wound on the back
part of the head, and such as might have been in-
flicted by some blunt instrument, such as a stick.
On the Sunday afternoon he had five fits. He
went on well at first, but afterwards a change took
place, and he died on the 15th inst. from the effects
of the injuries. He had made a post-mortem exa-
mination and found a fracture of the skull four
inches long from the base of the brain. The brain
was highly congested, and large clots of blood
were on its surface.
The jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased
died from injuries received, but how occasioned
there is no evidence to show ;" adding to it—" The
jury also express their regret that nearly a week
should have elapsed from the time the deceased re-
ceived his injuries before his wife was enabled to
obtain any information as to her missing husband,
although she inquired at Fleet-street and other
stations, and notwithstanding that a pocketbook
and its contents would have enabled them to dis-
. cover his place of residence and friends."

Mary Aylmer alias Gibson was brought up a,
Bow-street, on remand, charged with being con-
cerned in forging and uttering a cheque for £445
on Messrs. Coutts and Co.'s bank in the Strand.
Mr. Mullens, solicitor to the Bankers' Association,
prosecuted; and Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, ap-
peared for the prisoner.
Louisa Debenham, assistant to Messrs. Bradshaw,
linen-drapers, Bishopagate-street, deposed—On the
31st December a woman earns to our shop and made
some purchases. She was dressed in a dark dress,
with a dark velvet mantle, and she had a lace fall
over her bonnet. It was so thick a fall that I could
not see her face. She made some purchases, and
tendered a£s note in payment. She wrote on the
back of the note" Clarke, -Windsor-terrace." I asked
her if she meant Windsor-terrace, City-road? Shr
said "Yes," and I added the words " City-road." In
consequence of something that occurred Mrs. Brad-
shaw gave some instructions to the boy.
William Gregory, a lad of about 15 or 16, deposed
—I recollect at the end of the year being directed to
watch a female. I saw her join a gentleman a little
way down the street, and she went away with him.
Cross-examined-1 should not know the gentle-
man or lady.
Mr. Lewis asked whether the magistrate thought
this was evidence against the prisoner ?
Mr. Hall could not say, at this stage of the case.
Mr.Mullens was sure the magistrate would allow
him to conduct his case his own way.
Benjamin William Lloyd, assistant to Messrs.
Masters an d. Co., drapers, Shoreditch—At the latter
end of December a lady purchased some goods at
our house, and paid them with a £5 note, now pro-
duced. I requested her to write her address, and
she wrote the address, "5, Creeds-place, Green-
wich." I believe the prisoner to be the same person.
Cross-examined—She had a veil on. It was not
very thick. It did to some extent conceal her
features. She did not raise her veil or fall. There
were black spots on it. When I first saw her at
this court I had my doubts, but now that I have
seen her standing up I am sure she is the person.
I did say at first that I thought she was not the
woman. She was sitting down then. I saw her
sitting down in our shop, but I noticed her more
particularly when standing up. It was a fortnight
since that I saw her here. I told Hay don that I
could judge better if she were standing up. He
did not tell her to stand up. He said that would
do and I might go. I was not here this day week.
John Hemmant, assistant to Mr. Tarn, draper,
Newington-causeway—The note now produced is
one which was paid to me by a female for some
goods she had purchased. I know that from an
entry on the note. I took down the name and
address which now appear on that note at the die.
tation of the lady. The name is " Groves," the
Christian name having been torn off, and the ad-
dress is 4, Park-street, Greenwich. I cannot say
when it occurred. Could not say whether it was
Ist April, or whether it was this month or no.
Mr. Lewis—Mr. Mullens thinks it was the Ist of
April. I should say it was very likely.
Mr.Mullens—lt was paid into the bank on the 2d.
John Hester, assistant to Mr. Rabbits, of New-
ington-causeway, boot and shoe manufacturer—The
note now produced was paid to me three weeks back
by a female for goods she had purchased. She gave
me the address, which I wrote on the back of the
note, Miss Mary Groves, 4, Park-street, Greenwich.
Cannot speak to the prisoner.
Elizabeth Monday-4 am in the service of Mdme.
Lechertier, 60, Regent-street. The prisoner is my
sister. Her name is Mary Monday, or was till she
was married. Her name is now Gibson.
Mr. Lewis—Were you present at the marriage ?
Witness—No, I was not.

SHOCKING DRATII OF A YOUNG

W OMAN.

VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER.
Yesterday evening Mr. Carttar, coroner for West
Kent, held an adjourned inquiry at the Druids Arms,
Tavern, Greenwich, into the circumstances attend-
ing the death of Mary Heddie, who was drowned in
the Thames on the night of Saturday, March 15.
From the evidence taken at this and previous in-
quiries, it appeared that on the evening of the 15th
March the deceased, who was 14 years of age, with
a girl named Sophia Spencer, aged 16, had been
drinking at several public-houses with Robert
Richards, master of the steamtug Esther, and a lad
named Mathew Ball, employed on board the smile
vessel. The parties all became intoxicated, and
proceeded about 11 o'clock to the river-side, where
they were met by a woman named Webb, who en-
deavoured to induce the girls to return home.
Richards however told Ball to place them in a boat
and row them to the steam tug, and then return for
him. The deceased and her companion were rowed
to the tug, on nearing which the boat upset, and the
deceased was drowned. It was fully proved that
the deceased wished to return home, but was forced
into the boat by Richards, and both girls were so
much intoxicated that they were unable to sit, and
rolled about in the boat.
The coroner recapitulated the evidence at length,
and observed that Richat ds had endeavoured to pal-
liate his conduct by stating that he was so drunk as
not to remember what took place. It must be ob-
vious, however, that drunkenness, instead of being
an excuse, was rather an aggravation of his tails•
conduct in putting the girl into the boat in oppo-
sition to her wishes. A more disgraceful state of
things he never heard of on the part of those
who called themselves human beings, It was clear
that Lichards was the party directly responsible,
and his conduct was more reprehensible than that
of Ball, as he was master of the steam-tug and
directed the whole proceedings.
The jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter
against Robert Richards and Matthew Ball," who
were subsequently admitted to bail to answer the
charge at the Old Bailey sessions.

..
Mr.Alullens—,No doubt the young woman thought
she was married. Do your parents live at 18,
London-street, Brighton ?
Witness—Yes.

Michael Haydon, the City detective, deposed—A
few days since 1 went to 18, London-street, Brigh-
ton, and saw Mr. and Mrs. Monday. I received a
letter from Mr. Monday, signed W. Gibson, which.
I produce. I searched some boxes which Mr. Mon-
day showed me, and in which I found a considerable
quantity of papers. Amongst them are a number
of bills for lodgings, &c., against a person named
Gibson, at 5, Creed's-place, Greenwich.
Mr. Lewis objected to this as not being evidence
against the prisoner.
Mr. Hall could imagine a variety of ways in which
it might be evidence, but at present the letters cer-
tainly were not evidence.
A long technical discussion arose, in the course
of which the question arose whether the prisoner
was Gibson's wife, Mr. Lewis urging that the pro-
secution had opined that she was not.
Mr. Mullens—Her sister says she is. Mr. Lewis's
case takes a strange turn when he thinks it neces-
sary to throw such an imputation on his client.
Mr. Lewis—lt is your case. The sister said her
name was Mary Monday..
Elizabeth Monday, being recalled, said that she
only meant that was the prisoner's maiden name.
Believed the prisoner was roarr'ed to Gibson.
Mr. Lewis—Were you present at the wedding ?
Witness—No.
Mr. Lewis—Do you know where they were mar-
ried, or when

Of every face in.this town there is a view to be
taken, and a I,;ght and shade to be select eel, which
will show it to advantage or disadvantag e. To
subject all to the same glaring light, desceilding
on all alike, and to. all unbecoming, is scarcely* the

known a photOgrapher standing under his own light,
and most hideously disk!ortegl by that circumstance
alone—without the additional help of his instrument
—to argue with us, the wretched sitter, that WO

spo.v4k strongly enough about this ciuestion of sha-

The sun comes out, and the first thing it does

Those shadows are larger in the ea.rly morning and
