THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING,' DECEMBER 25, 1862.

MR. LINCOLN'S PROcAIIIA7ION AND

GONGRES.

(From the Daelyrews.)
The Morning Post of ycsirday published the
following statement in its seeod leading article :
i
" A resolution has been carted in the House of
Representatives by a vote of Pto 47, declaring the
Emancipation Proclamation t
be unconstitutional
and unauthorised,"

This is an extracrdinary &apprehension. The
very contrary has bappene. The telegraphic
the resolution co aemning
announcement was that, " in the House of Repre-
sentatives President
Lincoln's Emancipation Prochmation as unconsti-
tutional and unauthorised waslaid on the table by
a vote of 95 to 47."

A motion to " lay on the tale" is what is called
a" killing motion," and the hose, in deciding that
this resolution shall be laid on lae table, so far from
condemning the proclamation supports it by a
majority of two to one,

We commend this Let to tie journalists, who
have been stating that the proclamation was with-

drawn.

EXTRAORDINARY ELOPEMENT.

At the Cierkenwell Police Court yesterday (Wednesday),
John Eaton, aged 34, a dirty•looking fellow, described
as a brickmaker, was charged with stealing a coat and a
large quantity of other articles, the property of Jonathan
Rowland, a pig feeder, of Hornsey Earmhouse, Hornsey-
road.

The complainant, a man who had not the most blight
appearance, said—The prisoner is a scoundrel, and eloped
with my wife on Saturday night. She was a very kind
wife, but she went away with him and took all my things,
and I have since got back a cart load. The prisoner has
lodged with me since last Whitsuntide. Although my
wife went away with him on Saturday night, he forced her
away, saying he would kill her if she did not go. My
dear wife has told me all about it, and it is a bad job, for
she would not have gone had he not been a bad fellow, and
forced her.

Prisoner—Why, she would have gone away with me
three months ago, if I would have taken her. You have
used her badly, and not behaved as a man towards her, and
that's why she liked me. She loves my little finger better
than your whole body, and you know it. You never gave
her half enough to eat, and all you are fit for is to feed the
pigs. (A laugh.)

Prosecutor—My wife is now in Court, and loves me.
,A laugh.)
Mr. Mould (Chief Clerk)—She appears to be a very nice

Prosecutor—She was always a good wife to me until
three months ago. She always stuck to me until that
fellow there (pointing to the prisoner) came to my house,
and was very kind and good.
_

The police here stated that the prisoner slept in the same
room with the prosecutor and his wife, and that the pri-
soner did not go out of a morning until some hours alter
the prosecutor went to work.

Mr. Mould (to the prosecutor)— You were good enough
to let the prisoner sleep in tho same room as your wife.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself, and old enough to
know better.

The Prosecutor—My room is a large room, and I did not
think it was any harm for us all to sleep there. The coat
produces; is my property.

Mr. Samuel Dyer, in the employ of Mr Bryant, pawn-
broker, produced a coat pawned by the prisoner on the 15th
inst., and stated that the prisoner had pawned other articles
belonging to the prosecutor.
Other evidence having been given,

The prisoner said ho was not guilty. Ho was cohabiting
with the prosecutor's wife, and she had given them to him
to pawn.

The prisoner was fully committed for trial, and bail re-
used.

WAYLAYING, AND RESCUE BY A BISHOP.—The
system of waylaying obnoxious persons and administering
a severe beating to them was never more general than now
in Ireland. Every other day some person is treated in this
way in the provinces, the police having rendered the old
form of retaliation in faction fights nearly impossible. The
other day as Dr. Gillooly, the Roman Catholic bishop, was
driving home near Ballisodare, he passed several carters,
who soon after were assailed by a number of men lying in
wait for them and severely beaten. Immediately on hear-
ing the cries of the men, his lordship alighted from his
carriage, and was quickly in the midst of the party. To
the imminent risk of his own life, it being then completely
dark, he rushed from one group to another, rescuing the
unfortunate fellows who lay at the feet of the attacking
party. As soon as it was discovered that it was a bishop
who had come to the rescue, the assailants fled. One
of the carters was so severely bruised and cut that the
bishop had to take him in his carriage to the infirmary.

GENERAL GARIBALDI AND HIS GLASGOW SYM-
FATHISERS.—The subjoined important communications
have just been received by Mr. Wrear, at Glasgow, from
General Garibaldi :—" Pisa, 18th December, 1862. Robt.
M'Tear, Esq., Secretary to the Garibaldi Committee, Glas-
gow. My dear Sir,—l exceedingly regret that the state of
my health has prevented my sooner acknowledging the re-
ceipt of your favour containing an account of the meeting
which you did me the honour to hold at Glasgow on the 23d
September last. Your expressions of kindness and sym-
pathy are most valuable. I truly appreciate them ; and
beg you to assure your fellow-countrymen of my lasting
gratitude for remembering me at a period when your sym-
pathy was doubly welcome to my heart. I trust to be per-
mitted at some future time to enjoy the privilege of visit-
ing Glasgow, that I may have the opportunity of express-
ing, in person, my deep sense of the kindness I have re •
ceived from her worthy citizens.—l am, my dear sir, your
friend, G. GARIBALDI."—" Pisa, Dec. 18, 1862.—My dear
Sir,--I fear, from what I have lately heard, that no ac-
knowledgment has been received from me regarding the
valuable Bibles which were so kindly presented to my
family end self from Glasgow. Pray accept my sincere
apologies for the long delay, and believe how exceedingly
we appreciate the offering. The Bibles will be carefully
preserved by my children and myself, in testimony of our
gratitude for the repeated proofs of affectionate friendship
which we have received from your noble city.—l am,
my dear sir, your friend, G. GARIBALDI.—Robert M'Tear,
Esq."

IRON-CLAD BATTERY.—The Whitney battery
Keokuk has been launched at New York. This vessel has
61in. of wood on her decks, but the beams and other por-
tions of the craft are metal. Hf r shape is represented as
peculiar. She has been compared to several familiar things
—to an egg, and to half an orange. The theory on which
she is built is that a comparatively light armour is as effec-
tive, when put on in a certain way, as a much heavier one,

on the general plan. Instead of presenting an almost even
side to a shot, the Keokuk's armour slants all round, so that
projectiles can hardly strike her squarely in any place. It
is believed that they will glance and fly off. There are two
turrets on the vessel, which also present a sloping surface,
being wider at the bottom than at the top. Large openings
can be conveniently and expeditiously made at the lower
part of these turrets, through which pure air can be ad-
mitted, and foul air expelled when desirable. Each turret
has one llin. gun. A ram, sft. long and very strongly
built, protrudes from her bow. The vessel is moved by
two engines of 500• horse power, and two propellers, which
enable her to move backwards and forward, at the option of
the " skipper." There are two bulkheads, one forward and
one aft, which can be filled with water in 15 minutes, to
settle the hull in the water while fighting. These bulk-
heads can be emptied in 40 minutes. The length of the
vessel, including ram, is 159 ft. 6in. ; the probable draught
of water, 13ft. Gin. She could not be moved off the stocks
without the aid of a steamboat.
We read in Galignani :—" It is with much plea-
sure that we are able to announce that Mr. Charles Dickens
kindly intends during the course of next month to give one

AN INTERVIEW WITH A SNAKE.—The fences
made by the Kaffirs, and consisting, of small roughly-
made wattled hurdles, were favourite resorts of snakes, and
once, when climbing over one of these, I narrowly escaped
the dart of a cobra. The fence was about foul feet in height,
and was so constructed that when any person trod on the
upper portion, he unavoidably compressed the various
branches and sticks beneath him. It happened that a cobra
was either crawling through this fence, or had located him-
self in it at the time of my climbing to the. summit, and
thus my weight caused the sticks to squeeze the body of the
reptile. Fortunately, I was looking down, and just in time
I saw the head of the snake shoot out from the hurdle. I
sprang, as may be imagined, quickly and far, and was well
out of reach when the head of the monster was thrown over
the top of the hurdle, just at the spot where an instant be-
fore my feet had been placed. The cobra did not approve of
having his body pinched, but still less he must have liked
the penetration of his head by a broad-bladed Zulu assagy,
a fate that quickly followed his attempt upon my life.—
