AIR-BALLOON'S UPRISE, With CUL•de-SAC

THE SUN.
LONDON, MONDAY, DEC. 22, 1862.

Another jadicial decision has been pronounced in

vindication of the right of that accomplished but
unfortunate lady née THERESA LONGWORTH, in
recognition and vindication of her right to be desig-
nated, according to the laws, at once of GOD and of
man, the Hon. Airs. YELVERTON—the wedded wife
of the Honourable and Gallant son and heir to the
by no means aneient, in point of fact, the nearly
bran new Irish Barony of Avonmore.
Mrs. YELVERTON'S Irish marriage was, it will be

remembered, some time back, virtually recognised

in Ireland. Mrs. YELVERTON'S Scotch marriage
has now very recently been recognised, not in-,
directly, however, but directly, in Scotland.
Lord ARDMILLAN'S surprising decision, some
time since in favour of the Hon. and Gallant Major
YELVERTON—the Gay Lothario placed midway,
like Captain MACHEATH, between those rival claim-
ants to his affections, not disposed, however, by any
means to carol joyously, like his prototype, "How
happy, too, could I be with either !"—Lord ARD-
MILLAN'S surprising decision in favour of Major
YELVERTON, and in direct rejection of the claims
of his most unhappy victim, has now consequently
been formally and deliberately set aside. Upon an
appeal to the Judges in the Court of Session
at Edinburgh the Judgment of Lord ARDMILLAN
was on Friday afternoon distinctly and absolutely
revoked. Before that same evening had far

advanced we had ourselves, thanks to the electric
telegraph, given in the columns of The Sun a suffi-
ciently copious report of this memorable judgment

(in favour of Mrs. YELVERTON. A decision—it
was—pronounced by the assembled Judges, all but
unanimously! And yet—while we say that—only
carried, after all, by a majority of oNE! Upon
the Bench in the Court of Session at Edinburgh
sat, on Friday, the 19th of December, three of the
Scottish Judges capable of taking into considera-
tion the appeal then before the Court against the

judgment of Lord ARDMILLAN. Lord CURRIE-
HILL, to wit, Lord DEAS, and the Lox d PRESIDENT.
One after another these learned law lords gave in
their own estimate of the opinion formed and ex-
pressed upon the Yelverton marriage case by their
learned brother (seated by them while they spoke
on Friday morning and afternoon) Lord ARDMIL-
LAN. One only coincided with Lord ARDMILLAN

in his judgment—that one being, however, the
Lord PRESIDENT. The two remaining Judges,
Lord DEAS and Lord CURRIEHILL, thought each of
them, nevertheless, quite otherwise. And their
coincidence it was with the judge and jury who
had first of all pronounced an authoritative
opinion of any kind upon the merits of this extra-
ordinary marriage case, that carried the point on
the 19th instant, in Scotland, in favour of Mrs.
YELTERTON, doing this, as we have seen, by dis-
tinctly setting aside the astounding decision arrived
at not very long ago, and embodied in a formal
judgment by Lord ARDMILLAN.

As a matter of course the case will nct termi-
nate here by any means. It will for a certainty,
according to custom, go onwards and upwards
until it is brought before the highest of all courts
of appeal—the House of Lords. What the deci-
sion there may eventually prove it were idle now
vaguely to conjecture, Whether the judgment of
the House of Lords would be favourable to the
Pursuer or to the Defender, to the Hon. Major
YELVERTON or to the Hon. Mrs. YELVERTON (née
LONGWORTH), may be regarded, as it doubtless
will be regarded by many, as questionable in the
extreme. What we have now in any manner to
take into consideration at all is not the possibi-
bility of an adverse or of a coincident judgment
upon an appeal to themselves from the
appeal recently made to the Court of Session
against the judgment of Lord ARDMILLAN—but
simply the three successive judgments pronounced
on Friday morning upon that judgment of Lord
ARDMILLAN, first of all by Lord CURRIEHILL,
afterwards by Lord,DEAS, an d finally (and adverse'y,
though in that way ineffectually, because outnum-
bered by his two learned brothers beside him) by
the Lord President in the Court of Session at Edin-
burgh.

According to the emphatically expressed opinion
of the first of the three judges who spoke at all on
Friday in the Court of Session at Edinburgh—ac-
cording to the dispassionate view, that is,
of Lord CURRIEHILL7 "No one could read
the first part of the correspondence with-
out characterising it as an honourable
courtship between a gentleman and lady of congenial
dispositions and well cultivated minds." Lord
CURRIEUILL added that " he could find no evidence
to support the defender's view, that the pursuer
wished d
shed to substitute concubinage for marriage."
An further, said the same learned law lord,
" although he did not pretend to understand the
Rights of imagination which abounded in the
correspondence, he could not find anything which
indicated immodesty or impurity in it,
and there-
fore he could not adopt the defender's interpretation.
His lordship was of opinion," consequently, " that

a marriage by the interchange of consent de presenti
was established, and that were it not so, there was
evidence to establish the marriage on the ground of
promise subsequente copula." Lord DEAS speaking
next in order, and yet more emphati-
cally in favour of the pursuer, the Hon.
Mrs. YELVERTON (nee LON GWORTE) SO
powerfully gave expression to the feelings and
convictions of those who were assembled there
together in the Court of Session of the Parlia-
ment House at Edinburgh, that the audience
found itself carried away in defiance of all the
etiquette ordinarily binding people to silence in a
court of justice—giving utterance to their applause
at intervals during the three hours speech of the
learned and eloquent La w Lord, and greeting its close
with a burst of acclamations, only with difficulty
suppressed by the ushers. This warmth of the
popular sympathy with Mrs. YELTERTON was im-
mediately afterwards checked for a while, it is true,
by the refrigerating influence of the strongly anta-
gonistic opinions of the Lord President—the
judgment of the Lord President being, in all
essential respects, directly coincident with that
actually then appealed against, the opinion, that
is, of Lord ARDMILLAN. The Lord President inti-
mated that " he found no direct evidence to support
of the allegations of the pursuer that there was inter-
change by consent in Edinburgh, which constituted
marriage ; on the contrary, he thought it was con-
tradicted by the evidence in the letters which passed
between the pursuer and the defender after their
first residence in Edinburgh, during which the
interchange of consent was alleged to have taken
place." Precisely in the same adverse spirit the
learned Lord President argued the case through-
out. "They must not conjecture a marriage," he
said, in the concluding remarks of his judgment :
" they mast have positive evidence that such a thing
had taken place." And it was, he insisted, precisely
on these grounds that he considered the evidence
to be altogether insufficient. Nevertheless thinking
thus, his lordship was outnumbered by the learned
law lords who had spoken before him—the court
accordingly giving judgment in favour of Mrs.
YELVERTON.

Immediately which result became known and
formally announced, the decision was welcomed
with " a burst of cheering which the efforts of the
officials of the court could not for some time silence."
Nay, the report of these extraordinary proceedings
in an extraordinary case, goes on immediately to
observe yet further—" The cheering inside, more-
over, was taken up with corresponding fervour by
the crowd in the vicinity of the court." Not—ob-
serve—as formerly, on the Celtic side of St.
George's Channel, in the midst of a dense crowd of
the impulsive population of Dublin ! But—north
of the Tweed—inside and outside the Parliament
House at Edinburgh, the excited multitude on Fri-
day afternoon being composed, for the most part
of long-headed, and (while no doubt warm-hearted)
calm-judging, keen-witted Scotchmen. It remains
only for these same ringing acclamations to be
echoed nearer borne, here in own capital, in the
metropolis of the Empire, and that last and crown-
ing sympathy of all will have been accorded to Mrs.
YELVERTON. Will it be so accorded ? That it
will, we have no serious doubt whatever, if only
the people of London and Westminster be afforded
the looked for opportunity. An appeal to the
House of Lords will come in due course : and
whatever the result of that appeal, and the result
is still certainly very dubious, the decision then
pronounced by the Lords will be final and con-
clusive. Because it will be thus final and conclu-
sion, we look forward to it—in the interest of
justice—with eager solicitude.

The American papers contain numerous extracts
from a volume which few Englishmen indeed will
care to read. •Eight hundred
.pages are formid-
able enough in themselves, but when we add that
they are 800 pages of the writings of that clever
word-spinner Mr. SEWARD and the diplomatists of
the Federal Government, only relieved occasionally
by the more condensed and businesslike statements
and papers of Lord RUSSELL and other Europeans,
we apprehend most persons will think the "Ele-
gant Extracts" of the American press are all they
wish to have of the volume.

Prominent among these are the communications
between Messrs. SEWARD and ADAMS and Earl
RUSSELL respecting the Alabama, or No. 290. That
the Federals should feel extremely annoyed by
her escape from Liverpool, and her barbarous feats
at sea, is ♦ery natural. If we place ourselves in
their position and make our shipping the sufferers
from a vessel thus built at Boston, and allowed to
get away after warning and remonstrance from
our Minister in the United States, we may be sure
the merchants of London and Liverpool would be
as infuriated as those of New York and Boston, and
the country generally would sympathise with them.
It is but fair, therefore, that we should not allow
ourselves to be irritated by a little " tall talk" on
that side the Atlantic. The talk is not so injurious
to us as the burning of ships is to the New Yorkers.
And it must be confessed, after all, that there are
features about the, proceedings of the Alabama,
which hive a revolting character of wantonness and
lawlessness.

him to approach the harbours where his prize courts
are held, and that he would prefer to bring them
there, and submit them to a final adjudication. He
will say that it is not for Mr. SEWARD to com-
plain of au illegality which his proceedings di-
rectly cause. There is much in this. And per-
haps the only answer, and that but a partial one,
is that the South has no right to make prizes at
all, if it cannot deal with them on the principles
unanimously confessed to be binding in the cap-
ture and appropriation of prizes. In rejoinder,
Captain SEMMES would urge the necessities of war
—that the enemy's trade must be distressed at all
hazards, lawfully if possible, otherwise unlawfully.
Remembering, then, how much the Americans
must naturally feel irritated by having such vessels
built in our ports, and by a member of the British
House of Commons, we cannot much blame them
for their part in the correspondence on the subject.
Fortified with the opinion of an eminent English
Queen's counsel on the sufficiency of the evidence
that No. 290 was building in violation of the
Foreign Enlistment Act, Mr. ADAMS applies to
Earl RUSSELL—the result was that while the appli-
cation was waiting the decision of the QUEEN'S
legal advisers, the builders of the ship became aware
of what was going on, and befcre the former had
given their ultimate decision for the detention of
of the ship she was hurried off, and was far away
on the Atlantic. Mr. ADAMS, however, and Mr.
SEWARD announce that a long bill will be
made out against us for all the damage done
by the Alabama, and that " Congress is about to
authorise the issne of letters of marque and re-
prisal, and that if we find it necessary to suppress
that piracy we shall bring privateers into bery ioo
for that purpose, and of course for that purpose
only."

There has also been much more discussion than
we could have supposed on the question of furnish-
ing contraband of war to the Confederates. Lord
RUSSELL has of course the advantage here, and
we think obviously to the Americans themselves.
They have now seen that they were far the larger
purchasers from our merchants, and that Mr.
ADAMS actually advised his Government not to
make purchases here, but to go to Austria in pre-
ference, because its own conduct neutralised the
representations which he could make on the sub-
ject to Earl RUSSELL. The latter, however, pointed
out that the Foreign Enlistment Act did not for-
bid such sales by merchants, who could not
be required to inquire into the destination
of what they sold in a purely commercial
transaction ; and that international law took the
prevention of contraband trade into its own hands
by making all such cargoes liable to seizure.

Mr. ADAMS gave a clever turn to the conversa-
tion in one case with Earl RUSSELL. " I put it to his
lordship," he says, "distinctly, it Great Britain
would be contented, should the people of Canada
break out into open rebellion, to find the United
States promptly declare a neutrality, recognise the
rebels as a belligerent power, and then from
myriads of posts along the extensive line of
boundary, and the many harbours on the seaboard,
tolerate the equipment and despatch of numerous
vessels freighted with all the materials necessary
to protract the struggle P I very much doubted
whether his lordship would be perfectly quiescent
under the answer that no violation of neutrality
had been committed, and that no power existed to
put a stop to the proceedings." Lord RUSSELL
could not well deny that he should object to
such doings ; but he did deny that in
any of the cases brought before him there
had been any evidence of wrong destination. This
was in the case of the Oreto, which left Liverpool
with 170 tons of arms on board, and [with persons
called troops on board destined for Jamaica. Lord
RUSSELL'S investigators at Liverpool pronounced
the voyage a perfectly legal one; but Mr. ADAMS
contends that the destination of the vessel was
❑otorious in Liverpool, and that no commercial men
were b.ind to it. No doubt the truth of the whole
matter is that the shippers of the goods took excel_
lent care to put themselves formally right in British
law, and that only an arbitrary Government, or
one which does not hesitate to repeal the Habeas
Corpus Act at pleasure, could prevent these voyages.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
who has been spending several days with the Earl and
Countess of Westmoreland, at Apthorpe Hall, Northamp-
tonshire, returned to town on Saturday. A select party
had the honour of being invited to meet his royal highness.
The Duchess of Athole has arrived at the St.
George's Hotel.

Count and Countess de Flahault and Miss
Elphinstone de Flahault have left Broadlands on a visit to
the Marquis of Lansdowne at Bowood.

The Earl of Fife arrived in town on Saturday
from visiting Lady Catherine Ricardo, at Exbury House,
Southampton. Her ladyship has returned to Grosvenor-
place from St. Leonard's.

The Earl of Roselyn has returned to Claridge's

The Earl and Countess of Kinnoul are passing

The Earl and Countess Spencer, who have been
passing the week at Tottenham Park, near Marlborough,
with the Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, returned
to Althorp Hall, Northamptonshire, on Saturday.
The Earl and Countess De Grey have arrived at
Studley Park, near Ripon, from Nocton Park, Lincoln-
shire, with the intention of passing the Christmas holidays
at the former seat.

It is but fair to own that there is something
specially dog and manger-like in burning a cargo of
goods which we cannot make use of, and a ship
which we cannot ourselves keep. They belong to
private persons only ; they have nothing to do with
contraband of war ; they are simply "enemies goods
in enemies ships" at sea. These are, by the laws of
War, the lawful prize of the captors; and the cap-
tors, it may be said, may do what they will with
their own. There is, however, just the difference
that doing with your own what can do
you no good, merely from spite to another, even
to an enemy, is a violation of our moral
judgments, though no law can be invoked against
us. If the captor could turn them into money we
could excuse him, as international law now stands ;
it is =the wanton waste which provokes so much
ill-feeling. It distresses the enemy, and is so far
a punishment for the blockade, and that is all that
'can be said for it.

Hotel from the Continent.

Lord Ashburton, who left London a few weeks
ago with the intention of proceeding to the south of Pi euce
for the winter, has been detained in Paris by illness. At
one period his indisposition assumed a very alarming
aspect, but during the last week his lordship has slowly
improved, and during the latter part of the week the medi-
cal reports have been more favourable,

Lord and Lady Bagot have left Stafford House,
St. James's, where they have been visiting the Dowager
Duchess of Sutherland, for Blithfield Hall, Staffordshire.

Lord Strangford has left the Brunswick Hotel,

Sir Ralph au?, Lady Howard have left Belgrave-
square, for Brighton, for a few we,elia.

Perhaps, however, the most objectionable feature
of the proceeding is, that it is perfectly lawless
seizure and destruction. All civilised countries have
held that the condemnation of the prize in a prize
court is an essential part of the law in such cases.
This was, indced,one strong and unanswerable argu-
ment in the case of the Trent. The notorious
WILKES had, on the high seas, dealt with the vessel
and her cargo, according to his notions of inter-
national law, instead of taking her to a prize court.
Mr. SEWARD found no means of escape from the
illegality of this act. Now, it is obvious that Capt.
SEMMES of the Alabama plays the part of a WILKES
in the case of every ship he destroys. He con-
stitutes himself sole judge of her being lawful priz?.
There may be little doubt that he is right in per-
haps every case, certainly in nearly all; that, how.
ever, does not alter the hard fact that when be
burns a ship at sea he does the very thing which
we protested to be so utterly illegal in the case of
WILKES—as to hold that alone to be suf.
ficient ground of demanding restitution. Capt.
SEMMES' reply will, of course, be, that _the Go-
vernment whose ships he destroys will not suffe

PARIS, DEC. 22.

The 21oniteur of this morning announces that the
Senate and the Corps Legislatif will re-assemble on
the 12th of January. It also says--
"M. Drouyn de Lhuys has requested the con-
sular agents of France in the East to visit all great
industrial and maritime places, in order to study
the means whereby the commercial relations between
France and the East may be extended."

PARIS, DEC. 21.

The Patrie, of this evening, asserts that Prince
Couza, notwithstanding the protests of the Powers,
persists in his intention of giving up to Servia the
arms which have arrived in Moldavia for the Prince
of that State. "This incident," says the Patrie,
" has created a sensation at Bucharest."

The Constitutionnel of this evening contains a
paragraph, signed by M. Boniface, stating that it
is authorised to give a complete denial to the news
published by the Opinione, alleging that in a con-
versation between M. de Sartiges and Signor
Farini, the latter declined to resume any negotia-
tions on the Roman question, because they were
not likely to lead to any result.

The Constitutionnel also denies that the Chevalier
di Nigra, Italian ambassador at Paris, had held
similar language to M. Drouyn de Lhuys, as was
likewise asserted by the Opinion°.

TURIN, DEC. 21 (Evening).

The 'steamer Sardaigne, having Garibaldi on
board, yr a. v0mp.114,1 by the violence of the weather
to return to Leghorn yesterday. It is runwured
that Garibaldi intends going to Naples.

The official journal of Naples has replied to the
late article published by La France insinuating that
Italian unity was impossible, on account of facts
which had been brought to light by the inquiry
into the Neapolitan brigandage.
The official journal says :—" The reduction of
the bands of brigands formerly numerous but now
few in number, proves the success of our troops..
Brigandage is confined to a few localities. The
spontaneous concurrence of the population, and
their co-operation in the repression of .brigandage,
attest their unitarian aspirations.

" Statistic tables prove that public safety is
better provided for, that crime hat diminished by
one •half, and that theft has almost ceased.

"It is untrue that arbitrary arrests of Bourbon
partisans have been made. Before proceeding to
arrest them the police authorities made inquiries
concerning their conduct."

The Official journal states, in conclusion; that the
revenue arising from the town dues of the city of
Naples is double what it was under the Bourbons.

subalterns now undergoing punishment for their
conduct at Graudenz, will be seized by the police.

COPENHAGEN, DEC. 20.
In to-day's sitting of the Upper Chamber of the
Rigsdag an address to the King was proposed.
This address requested his Majesty to maintain
the legally existing common institutions of Den-
mark and Schleswig, as such a course offered a means
of binding closely together the different parts of the
kingdom, and affording them a guarantee of consti-
tutional liberty. The address further recommended
the Government to settle the affairs,of Holstein by
fulfilling the obligations of the King towards the
Federal Diet, without, however, endangering the
freedom of connexion between the other parts of
the kingdom.
His Majesty is informed that the Danish nation
applauds his intention of granting more liberty to
Schleswig as soon as the affairs of Holstein shall be
entirely settled, but that the nation also expects
that nothing should b 3 done which might weaken
the connection between the kingdom and Schleswig.

The address concludes with an assurance that the
Chamber will support the present and any other
Ministry which shall energetically carry out the
above programme.

ST. PETERSBURG, DEC. 20.
