LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.
COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)

This was a suit instituted by the wife for dissolution of
marriage on the ground of adultery and desertion.
From the evidence it appeared that the respondent had
been a merchant at St. Petersburg, and married the peti-
tioner, who was a native of Hambro, at Bristol, in 1856•
After the marriage the petitioner was introduced into the
respondent's family until he left with his wife for St.
Petersburg, at which placd he proposed to reside.. They,
however, returned to this country for the pur-
pose of visiting the Exhibition, after which it
was deemed advisable that the wife should take
up her residence in Italy. The. respondent regularly
transmitted remittances about the beginning of 1863, when
they suddenly ceased, and it was afterwards discovered
that the respondent had formed an improper intimacy with
a young girl in St. Petersburg. The petitioner had re-
ceived a letter from the respondent, expressing contrition
for his desertion, and requested her to abandon a name
which he had disgraced.

A number of witnesses having been examined, who
proved the allegations of the petitioner,
His Lordship pronounced a decree nisi.
HUTCHINSON T. HUTCHINSON AND BARKER.

This was a suit instituted by the husband for dissolution
of marriage, on the ground of adultery with the respon-
dent, a twine spinner at Hull.

From the evidence it appeared that the petitioner was a
seafaring man, and by great exertion he had raised himself
to the position of a master in the mercantile marine. In
1858 he discovered that his wife was carrying on an adul-
terous intercourse with the respondent, and afterwards the
present proceedings were instituted. In explanation of
the length of time that had elapsed between the separation
and the application to the Court, the petitioner said the
duration of his voyages, he being engaged in the India and
China trade, prevented him.

His Lordship pronounced a decree nisi.
JARVIS V. JARVIS AND FULL.
This was a suit instituted by the husband against the
wife. The petitioner was in the Royal Marines, and during
his absence from England with his regiment in the West
Indies the circumstances occurred which led to the present

proceedings.
His lordship pronounced a decree nisi, with costs.

ADAMS V. ADAMS.
This was a suit instituted by the wife against the hus-
band, on the grounds of desertion, coupled with adultery
and bigamy.

The parties were married in 1855, and afterwards re-
sided at Chichester, and resided there and at Brighton
until 1860. The respondent, who was a hairdresser and
perfumer, became acquainted with betting men, and after
having lost all his money he sold up his business, and
giving his wife £5, went offpand told her she would never
hear of him any more. Ile however returned for a short
time, but left again. After this it was discovered that he
had married a young lady named Emma Louisa Wilden,
at St. Luke's, King's-cross, on the 14th of September,
1862. On the discovery of the second marriage the re-
spondent was taken into custody, and afterwards tried for
bigamy, at Lewes, on the 20th of July, 1864, convicted of
the felony, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment.
The respondent was served with the citation while he was
undergoing his sentence.

The case was adjourned in order that evidence might be
produced to show that the respondent was the person who
resided with Miss Wilden as her husband, in Leigh-street,
Burton-crescent.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MABLBOROUGH-STREET.

A DESERTED CHILD.—THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS ACT.—
Mr. Lumley, the clerk of the Newport Market Refuge, at-
tended before Mr. Yardley with a little girl, about 10 years
of age, with the view of getting her into some industrial
school.

Mr. Lumley said the child had been about the streets
begging, and had been under the care of the Refuge for
about a month, but he was anxious that she should be sent
to some permanent place, the Refuge being only a nightly
one. If he took her to the workhouse, she would be ad-
mated to the casual ward and turned out in the morning.
Mr. Yardley said he did not think any parish would do
such a thing under the circumstances.

Mr. Lumley said he knew a case where a little boy was
admitted to the casual ward of a workhouse, and turned
out three consecutive mornings.

Mr. Yardley said there were certain persons called
Guardians of the Poor, and if what the applicant stated
was the case, it was a strange way of showing their guar-
dianship.

In answer to Mr. Yardley, the child said her mother was
dead, and her father had gone away. She had begged in
the streets for five months, and had slept under the porch
of St. Martin's porch. Another girl took her to the
refuge.

Mr. Yardley having referred to the Act, which gives a
magistrate power to send children apparently under 14 who
may be brought before him, being found in the streets re-
ceiving alms or thero for the purpose, or who may be
found wandering about without any home, to an industrial
school for such period as he may think fit for their educa-
tion and training, said he considered the child came within
the meaning of the Act, and made an order for her ad-
mission to the Industrial School, Sloane-street, for five
years.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Commodore Dunlop, Superintendent of Wool-
wich Dockyard, went up to Deptford in the steam
tug Bustler, and inspected the arrangements for
launching her Majesty's 22 gun steam frigate Endy-
mion, 2,478 tons, which will be cast off her build-
ing slip to-day at high tide about 12 o'clock. After
the launch the Endymion will be brought down to
Woolwich under orders to be towed to Sheerness to
be completed for sea. The whole of her machinery
of 500-horse power, by Messrs. Maudslay and Sons,
the boilers, and interior fittings have been trans-
mitted from Woolwich to Sheerness for that pur-
pose.

The iron steam store ship Supply, Staff-Com-
mander Charles Bowden, on particular service,
having completed her specific term—viz., four years,
was yesterday paid out of commission at Woolwich.
The officers and crew were granted 24 hours' leave
of absence. The ship will be again put in commis-
sion to-day, when the entire complement of officers
and men, with the exception of the assistant-engi-
neer and four men and boys, will rejoin Commander
Bowden and enter on the new commission.
The sailing frigate Terpsichore, 18, the vessel de-
stroyed on the late occasion of the trial of Mr.
Beardslee's torpedoes, at Chatham, and. since sta-
tioned in dock, is ordered to undergo a temporary
repair in order to allow of her being removedround
to the Thames, to the yard of Messrs. 'Castle, and
Beech, at Charlton, the contractors to the Admi-
ralty for breaking up old and useless vessels of war.
The order received at Chatham directs her to be
broken up.

The Frolic, 18, another of the old class of sailing
ships attached to the reserve in Chatham harbour,
will be towed round to Messrs. Castle and Beech's
yard to-day, for the purpose of being broken up.
Vice-Admiral Sir lloratio Thos. Austin, K.C.8.,
expired on Thursday morning at his residence in
Leinster-gardens, in his 65th year, after a very
short illness. He entered the navy in 1813. Ac-
cording to O'Byrne he served as first-class volun-
teer and midshipman under Capt. Sir T. M. Hardy.
and Capt. Sir Charles Ogle, with whom he wit-
nessed the chief operations of the American war. In
1824 he became first lieutenant of the Ruby sloop,
Capt. H. P. Hoppner, and took part in Capt. Parry's
second expedition in search of a north-west passage.
In 1827 he was appointed to the Chanticleer survey-
ing vessel, and on the death of Capt. H. Foster he
succeeded to the acting command. He obtained the
command of the Salamander in November, 1832.
After obtaining post rank he was appointed,
.in No-
vember, 1819, to the Cyclops, in which vessel he
took part in the operations on the coast of Syria.
For his services on the coast of Syria he was nomi-
nated a Companion of the Order of the Bath. The
deceased admiral held various commands up to April,
1863, when he was appointed Admiral-Superinten-
dent of Malta dockyard, which he held up to No-
vember last year. He was made a Knight Com-
mander of the Order of the Bath in March last. His
commission bore date as follows :—Lieut., Sept. 9,
1822; Commander,' May 26, 1831; Capt., June 28,
1838; Rear-Admiral, Nov. 28, 1857 ; and Vice-Ad-
miral, Oct. 20, 1864.

By the death of Vice-Admiral Austin, Capt. Cos
patrick B. Hamilton attains the rank of Rear-Ad.

miral.

The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Lieut. H. F. Croker, to the
Duncan; G. Shield, assist.-paymaster additional, to
the Narcissus ; John H. S. Hall, clerk additional, to
the Sutlej ; and A. W. Pearson, assist.-clerk addi-
tional, to the Narcissus.

American Claims on England.

- -

A war with Great Britain, in consequence of the
official refusal of that nation through Lord Russell to re-
pair the injuries done our commerce by the Alabama, is
not beyond the bounds of possibility. A city journal, sup-
posed to be inspired by secret information derived from
the Department of State, has within the last few days ad-
mitted as much. A war with that country, while it would
prove perfectly ruinous to its commercial interests, and
very probably induce its bankruptcy, would also be very
undesirable and disadvantageous to us, considering the
heavy war debt which already presses upon our industry
and resources.

In this condition of things it may be well worth con-
sidering what other steps may be taken which would bo
as effectual, give us immediate indemnity and throw the
responsibility of a war upon the aggres3ors themselves—a
moral disadvantage to them, which would inevitably lead
to their humiliation when supsr..dded to other and material
causes.

One of these steps or measures is the resort to the law
of retortion or reprisals, known and practised as long ago
as the time of the Romans, and still recognised every-
where. The principle is this :—" If a nation refuses to
repair or give satisfaction for an injury, the injured party
may seize things belonging to the wrong-doer and apply
them to his own use, until he is paid the amount that is
due, with damages ; or he may detain as a security until
full satisfaction is given." This is a well-established
right, and to put it in force letters of reprisal may be
granted to those persons who have suffered the injury.
Grotius, Vattell and Azani fully treat of this right and
acknowledge its existence.

It is, then, our obvious and convenient policy to resort
to this measure without the necessity of firing a gun.
There is British property enough in this port and city to
cover all our losses by the Alabama liable to immediate
seizure under this law, and the reprisal would bo in effect
" sharp, short, and decisive."

This indemnity in hand would go a great way to pre-
pare us for an encounter if it should come ; but wo are
inclined to the opinion that the people of Great Britain
would much prefer to come fairly to terms than lose their
best customers, and the merchants and bankers would
rather continue to draw their millions .of gold from us
week after week than run the risk of deprivation and
insolvency. And although the immediate effect of non-
intercourse upon ourselves would be the suspension of our
traffic with England, it would give an immense start to
that between us and all other foreign nations, so that our
customs revenue would be but little affected. But if it
wero we should stop at once sending gold abroad, and it
would accumulate hero rapidly, and become so much
cheaper as to make it more available than ever for the pay-
ment of interest on our national securities. In either case
the result would be about the same.

It would be, in fact, much cheaper for us to buy a few
millions of gold from our own mines, in case it became
necessary, than to incur another immense war debt, when
we have at hand an easy remedy, recognised by all nations
well known to the British Ministry and extremely applic-
able to this very case.—New York Herald.

If Lord Russell had indicated a willingness to
refer to a commission all the questions in dispute, his pro-
posal would have deserved careful consideration. But
this is not the case. He refuses distinctly to submit to
such a tribunal the only points of difference to which the
least importance can be attached. We hold the British
Government responsible for the losses inflicted on Ameri-
can Cpmmerce by privateers built by British subjects in
British ports, equipped by British capital and protected by
British recognition of a flag unknown to the nations of
the world. We insist that in thus acting she was our
enemy in spite of solemn- treaty engagements to be our
friend. We assert that in so acting she violated the
plainest principles of international law and morals, and
inflicted upon us, in contempt of our rights, the most
serious injuries that one nation can sustain at the hands
of another. She did it not in haste, but with deliberate
premeditation. She did it in spite of remonstrances, of
arguments, and 'of warnings, repeated over and over again,
and prelsed upon her attention at every successive stage
of the whole transaction. She did it openly, defiantly, in
studied and os;,entatious contempt alike of our wrongs
and of our remonstrances. We should earn the scorn of
the civ'ilised world, and should deserve, what we should
unquestionably receive, the contempt of England, if we
were to submit to these outrages and insults without
redress.—New York Times.

It may be assumed as certain that there are at pre-
sent no prospect of the two Governments coming to an agree-
ment on these two points ; and the momentous question at
once arises what consequences will the failure to agree
have upon the future relations of the two countries ? Mr.
Adams, as early as 1863, suggested the submission of the
whole question to arbitration ; but this England decline;
on the ground that the English Government is the sole
guardian of its own honour. The whole controversy, there-
fore, centres in the question—Are neutrals to be the sole
judges of what is due to a belligerent, and is the belligerent
to have no right to reparation for wrongs inflicted ? Mr.
Adams points out with groat force that if England were in-
volved in a war with a power which could fully avail itself of
the principles professed by her during our late war, she would
very soon find that among all the nations of the earth not
one could suffer more severely from the adoption of her
principles than she herself. As England had just at
present no foreign war on her hands, she prefers to be
altogether regardless of the future, and only intent upon
escaping punishment for past misdemeanour. The future
history of the controversy will be of the utmost impor-
tance, not only to the interests of the United Stetes and
England, but to the peace of the whole world. Should
England be ever involved in a serious foreign war, before
her difficulty with the United States is settled, it would
probably not require much time to cause her to disown
her present principles. —New York Weekly Tribune.

Several German journals state that the Grand
Duke of Baden is suffering from several slight attacks of
congestion of the brain, which have produced a derange-
ment of the mental faculties. Accounts direct from earls-
rube confirm the above, and declare that the state of the
Grand Duke has recently grown worse.
The Invalide Russe publishes the following news
from Warsaw:—" The recruitment in the liingdom of
Poland has been accomplished in perfect order•. The draw-
ing took place everywhere on the 7th and Bth. Qu the 9th
the operation was finished all over the country."
