LA W---'HIS DAY.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Oriinary and a Common Jury.
HOLMAN V. HOLMAN AND NIBLZTT.

This was a petition presmated by the husband for disso-
lution of his marriage on tie ground of adultery committed'
by his wife with the co•roepondent. Holman was a ware-
houseman, and the co-res?ondent was a clerk to an iron-
monger, The marriage vas celebrated at St. Leonard's,
Shoreditch, on the 3d of sptember, 1856, and the separa-
tion took place on the 26th of September, 1860. Damages
were laid at £5OO.

The marriage having been proved,
George Couchman said he had known petitioner and his
wife. The petitioner was a warehouseman with a salary
of about £4OO or £5OO. lie had frequently visited them
after marriage. Mr. Holman always appeared very affec-
tionate to his wife, but she was the reverse to him. She
always opposed everything he proposed. He first became
acquainted with them in 1861. In that year Mr. Holman
went to Jersey ; they were then living at a house at the
corner of Omar- road, Victoria Park. While petitioner was
away he called there, and afterwards he saw respondent
walking with a man near her own house. On one occasion
while ho was waiting outside the door ho heard a man's
voice in the passage asking whether he should go up stairs.
On Mrs. Holtnan coming to the door she excused herself
from asking witness in as her husband was out of town.
Harriet Gore said—Before her marriage she was in the
service of Mr. and Mrs. Holman. During Mr. Holman's
absence in Jersey Mr. Niblett used to come to the house.
He always remained till the next morning and slept in
Mrs. Holman's bedroom. She afterwards saw Mrs. Hel-
-1 man living with Mr. Niblett, as his wife, at Tottenham.
By the Judge—Niblett used to comet° the house before
Holman went to Jersey, but it was always while petitioner
was from home. Letters used to come to Mrs. Holman
addressed to " Miss Webster." When Niblett first came
he asked for "Miss Webster," and Mrs. Holman came to
him. On that occasion he slept in her room all night,
and on Mr. Holman returning from Leicester, where he
had been, witness told him that Niblett had passed the
night in Mrs. Holman's bedroom. Mr. Holman returned
from Jersey in August, and he slept with Mrs. Holman
until September. Previous to Mrs. Holman leaving her
husband she heard him accuse her of sleeping with Nib-
lett. She said she liked him best.
James Gray, clerk to Mr. Longford, served the citation
on a person at Tottenham, who admitted she was Mrs. i
Holman.

The Judge said that was no proof of identity. However,
that was a point entirely for the consideration of the
Court, and he should require further evidence to satisfy
him that the party had been served. The jury could now
assess the damages the petitioner had sustained, and after
the evidence that had been given he thought they could
not have much doubt about that.

The jury were of opinion that adultery had been com-
mitted with Niblett, and they assessed the damages at one
farthing.

The Judge said he should suspend the decree nisi until
he required evidence was forthcoming.

LORD MAYOR'S COURT.

place last night at half-past 12 loitering, and afterwards

A7LAN7IC TELEGRAPH COMPANY.

MEETING THIS DAT:

A. general meeting of this Company was held this after-
noon in the London Tavern for the purpose of explaining to
tho shareholders the means that are being adopted to "raise
new capital to lay down a new cable between Valentia
and Newfoundland. It was announced beforehand that
the new capital proposed to be raised was £600,000
in 120,000 sharewtof £5 each, with a deposit of £1 each, and
that the effort was backed by some of the most eminent
bankers and capitalists in the City, among whom £70,545
had been subscrib-cl within the last few days.
The notice calling the meeting having been read by.the
secretary,

The CHAIRMAN said he never met the shareholders with
more hopeful feeling than the present. That was not occa-
sioned by any new support of the Government or extrane-
ous ail from other sources, but from the revival of the
interesting subject in the mind of the gr eat body of the public.
He in the first place must congratulate the shareholders on
the fact that the whole of the exclusive privileges- the corn
parry possessed still remained in tact. They still retained
the exclusive right of land and cable at Newfoundland,
and the line they had originally decided on for that tele-
graph had, after the greatest consideration, been de-
cided as being the best that could be adopted. A
great improvement had also been made in laying
the cable, and the Messrs. Glass and Elliott, in
all, had laid no less than 40 telegraphs, not in one of which,
he believed, had there been a failure. With respect to the
doubt that existed as to the possibility of laying a cable at
any great depth, he thought the circumstance that occurred
while the Toulon and Algiers was in progress of construe-•
tion settled that question. On that occasion it became
necessary to raise a portion of the cable which had
been sunk to many thousand fathoms in order to
cut out a link, that was successfully performed without
the slightest injury taking place. The great difference ,
of opinion which existed in the minds of many with respect
to insulation of the wires in gutta percha had also been
satisfactorily settled by scientific research, and no danger
now existed on that head. He thought, under all
the circumstances, the directors would now be enabled to
lay an efficient-cable.for a sum somewhat under the capital
which it was now proposed to raise. The learned gentle-
man then at great length urged the old shareholders to.
come forward, and actively assist the present movement.
A series of resolutions were then unanimously agreed to
oc...ying o,d- tha prnpnsalq of the directors.
The meeting then separated.
MARKETS---TIIIS DAY.

A SOUTHERN VIEW OF I N7ERVENTION:

Gen. Pemberton, who was in the service of the
Union when the war broke out, but who went into
, the rebel army, and has superseded Gen. Van Dorn,
recently made a speech, of Which the following is a
copy. His reference to a comrade of high rank, for-
merly of New YOrk, as a street scavenger, is pungent;
but his notice of England is still more so :
"Soldiers,—ln assuming the command of so brave
and intelligent an army as that to which President
Davis has assigned me, I desire at once to win your
confidence byfranklydeclaring that I am a Northern
man by birth, but I have married, raised children,
and own negroes in the South, and? 'as such, shall
never consent to see my daughters eating at the
same table, or intermarrying with the black race,
as the Northern teachers of equality would have
them. I take. command of you as a soldier,who
,will not fear to lead where any brave man can
follow. lam no street scavenger—no General
Lovell. (Cheers.) If any soldier in this command
is aggrieved by any act of his superior officer, he
must have no hesitation in applying to me per-
sonally for redress,. The doors of my headquarters
shall never be closed against the poorest and
humblest soldier in my command. Come to me if
you suffer wrong, as fearlessly as you would charge
the enemy's battery, and no orderly shall turn you
off, or tell you, as has been too much the case in our
army, that the general cannot see nor hear the com-
plaints of his soldiers. (Applause.) In regard to the
question of interference by Europe we want no in-
terference in our private quarrel. (Great applause.)
We must settle the question ourselves, or fail en-
tirely. The moment England interferes she will
find us a united people, and she will-have to meet
with the armies of the South as well as of the
North. (Cheers, and cries of ' Yes, yes,' from every
quarter. •No interference.' Let us settle it be-
tween us.') I am glad to see you thus united on this
question ; and with a reliance on ourselves, and a
firm trust in the God of Battles, in a few days your
general will again fling your banners to the breeze
and march forward to retrieve the recent disasters
we have suffered in this department."
