THE NEW NOVEL.
Now ready, at all the Libraries, in three vols.
THE FORTUNES OF WOMAN.
Edited by Miss LAMONT.
" The Fortunes of Woman is a novel of no ordinary character, and
must achieve for the author a high literary reputation. It will take
its place in public estimation by the side of Jane Eyre.' The story
is at once life-like and Interesting, ftill of everyday events, and yet
possessing all the charm and freshness of a romance, and abounding
iu graceful and delicate delineations of character and passages of
mar ly and vigorous thought, and earnestness of purpose."—Morning

Obinimt V"lttr.
LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1849.

We have received several communications respect-
ing the observations which we thought it our duty to
offer on the subject of Mr. BINGHAM'S decision in the
case of the Countess of LANSFELDT, two of which
will be found in other parts of our impression—the
one from a " Provincial Magistrate," a gentleman of
considerable experience and intelligence, who fully
c -Alcides 'with the views we: I,ut forwardi; the other
from a Mr. SINGLEY, strongly impugning these views,
and supporting the judgment of Mr. BINGHAM, who,
in hip opinion, " acted with humanity in holding the
lady to bail" in place of sending her to prison until
the prosecutor could " get the proper witnesses from
India to come forward," for such, in fact, was the
application of the opppsing counsel, who, as we have
already stated, was not in a position to prove that
any legal crime had been committed. As
our correspondent has thought it necessary to
come forward " in correction of (what he is pleased
to term) our errors," it becomes our duty to show
that we committed no mistake whatsoever, and that
the volunteer censor is himself the party i❑ error in

every part of his argument in which he dissents from the
opinions whiCh we really put forward. We say
really put forward, because our correspondent ascribes
to us statements which we not only never asserted, but
never even for a moment contemplated. Like the
mighty THOMAS THUMB,
`. He raises the giants first, and then he kills them."
His first objection is that the continued absence
of Captain JAMES for more than seven years without
any communication having taken place between the

parties, is no answer to the charge, because "it appears
.to him that she (the Countess) had every opportunity
of ascertaining that Mr. JANES was alive by
making application at the India House, where
there is a list periodically published of the British
army in India." And he adds—" But there is a bet-
ter answer than this—the decree of the Ecclesiastical
Court is within the seven years ; this, therefore, is a
conclusive answer." Now our correspondent is totally
in error in both points. If acquainted with the com-
monest rudiments of law, he must know that the Act
9 Geo. IV., c. 31, being a penal statute, must be con-
strued strictly, and that no intendment will be made
to bring the defendant within its scope. The express
words of the enactment, which we have already
quoted, are " Provided always that nothing herein
contained shall extend to any person marrying a
second time, whose husband or wife shall have been
continually absent from such person for the space of

seven years then last past, and shall not have been
known by such person to be living within that time?'
Here it is not necessary that the party charged with
the offence should institute any particular inquiries
as to the existence of the former husband—it is
sufficient if she establishes the fact of continuous
absence for more than seven years, and when that is
clearly proved the onus rests upon the prosecution of
showing that she knew him to be living within that
time, the evidence on which point must be perfectly
clear and unequivocal. Now the very witnesses for
the prosecution proved the continuous absence for
more than eight years and a half. It was proved by
Captain INGRAM that she arrived from India on the
20th of February, 1841, and that he received her on
board in the month of October previously. Here
then was the most direct and unimpeachable testi-
mony as to the absence, and it was not even
suggested on behalf of the prosecution
that any communication passed between them,
or that it could be proved that she had received any
authentic account of his existence during the interval.
Under such circumstances there was a total failure of
the case as completely as if there was no proof that
Captain JAMES was living at the time of the second
marriage, and the presiding Judge would necessarily
direct an acquittal, without even leaving the case to
the jury, consequently the magistrate should have
refused to entertain a case so defective, and should
have at once discharged the defendant from custody.
The case for the prosecution could not in any
degree be helped by the fact which Mr. SINGLET
thinks so conclusive, that the divorce was pronounced
within the seven years (in October, 1842)—that
decree did not show that Captain JAMES was living at
the moment it was delivered. The Rev. JOHN JAMES
in his deposition, stated that he bad received a letter
from his brother about three months previously,

which letter must have been four or five months on
its passage. So that in fact there was:not a scintilla of
evidence that Captain JAMES had been heard of since
the January or February preceding (more than seren
years previous to the second marriage). Even if his
brother's testimony should be considered a sufficient
warning to the lady of her husband's being alive,
when he was asserted to-have written that letter, on
this point it should not be forgotten that Mrs. JAMES
did not appear during the proceedings, and that the
decree was pronounced in her absence.
With respect to his second objection to our argu_
ment, that there was no positive proof that
Mr. JAMES was alive at the time of the second
asserts that there is no
marriage, he- first
analogy between the investigation before a magistrate
and before a grand jury. If this be so, what becomes
of the arguments of
_those who declare that investi-
tion'ga 2-134fors grand juries within the metropolitan
trlcta are useless forms, which may safely, be
•-dispented. with, because greater protection is afforded
ti to the accused by the inquiry before a paid magistrate,
who had received a legal,,education and had a sound
kuowledga of law. What, in fact, would be the use
Of that, orae 'parties were to be sent to trial on

evidence wholly insufficient to warrant convictions ?
They receive handsome salaries, partly for the pur-
pose of saving the country from the expense of
futile prosecutions, but chiefly to save innocent parties
from the expense and annoyance of being called upon
to answer frivolous and vexatious charges. Both
these objects would be defeated if our correspondent's
views of the magisterial duties were well founded.
Again, on the same point, he says—
" That evidence was given by the proof from
the India House to the latest date antecedent to
the marriage." Here then, according to our cor.
respondent, it is not necessary to show that any crime
whatsoever had been committed ; it is sufficient to
make out a mere case of suspicion in order to arrest a
party as a felon, and drag them to a police-office.
In the article so strongly attacked by Mr. SINGLET,
we stated " that cases might arise where the presid-
ing justice would be authorised to remand the parties
for a reasonable time, when it bad been distinctly and
positively proved that a grave violation of the law
had taken place, and there were strong grounds for
believing that the offence could be brought home to
the accused by the testimony of witnesses who might
be forthcoming within a brief period. But the power
should be sparingly exercised, and never unless the
commission of the offence had been clearly established."
By these opinions we still abide, and we fearlessly
leave the question between us and our correspondent
to the decision of the public.
He also thinks that the lady's own statement was
sufficient. She did not pretend in her statement at
the office that Mr. JAMES was dead, but that the mar-
riage with him was in a false name, and therefore, he
adds in a parenthesis, illegal (quite an error by the
way).

Now, we beg to inform our correspondent that
putting forward a weak or inadequate argument does
not deprive a party of the benefit of any valid defence
which be or she may have; or relieve the prosecutor
from the necessity of making out the case. Neither
would it be an error (as he seems to think) to suppose
that the first marriage being invalid, as it would be
if wilfully contracted under a false name,
,would
not be a sufficient answer to the_ charge.
rge.
The marriage having been celebrated
throw the onus on the defendant of impugn-
, would
ing its validity, but this she would be entitled
to do, if in her power. Our correspondent has con-
fused the case of a second marriage. The offence will
be complete, though the defendant assume a fictitious
name at the second marriage (R. v. Allison—Rus-
sell v. Ryan, 109)—but if the first be void, the party
cannot be indicted for bigamy, because the former
marriage is a mere nullity (1 Hale, 693). In this
respect, also, our correspondent, who attempts to cor-
rect others, is himself in error.
As to the third objection, we never asserted in any
manner, either " that a divorce from bed and board
would justify a second marriage," or that "the lady
was a foreigner." We defy Mr. SINGLEY to bring
forward a single statement of ours to either effect.
We did say that "a conviction for bigamy could not be
anticipated in the face of such evidence," that "a
person totally ignorant of law could not be supposed to
understand the nice distinction between a divorce a
vinculo matrimonii and one a mensa et thoro ;" and
we argued that the "felonious intention being want-
ing, she should be acquitted of the charge." This is
far from stating that the second marriage was justi-
fiable, as our correspondent most unwarrantably
ascribes to us. Not a single syllable respecting the
lady's being a foreigner is contained in either of our
articles on the subject. His statement, therefore,
that we assume her to be one is a purely gratuitous
assumption on his part, not resting on the slightest
foundation.

We have thus disposed of Mr. SINGLET'S argument.
We should not again have referred to the subject but
for his attack : we originally referred to it solely on
public grounds, because we conceived that a grave
mistake had been committed by the presiding magis-
trate, which, if suffered to pass unnoticed, might
constitute a very dangerous precedent. Mr. SINGLEY
has thought proper to attack our arguments, and we
readily accord him space in our own columns for
that purpose. But we believe that we have fully and
completely justified our own views and refuted that
gentleman's arguments. We shall now conclude,
giving him one piece of sound advice, viz., that he
should never thrust himself prominently forward as
the refuter of error without knowing that error has
been committed, and that he is himself correct in the
arguments he may adduce in support of his own
views.

Her MAJESTY'S visit to Ireland—an event which
must have provel as gratifying to the QUEEN indivi-
dually as it was honourable to the nation collectively
—has, we are glad to believe, done much towards
removing, if it have not entirely removed, that ill
feeling which has (so causelessly !) existed between
the people of the sister kingdoms. We will not again
allude to those unhappy dissensions which we ourselves
have so long and so heartily deplored; they now rank,
thank Heaven only among the things which were.
As an evidence of this auspicious change, an Irish
Contemporary, which does not scruple to admit that,
some time back, it " broadly advocated revolution,"
now declares revolution to be unattainable, and there •
fore all teaching that tends in that direction to be
"mischievous and bad." Yes, revolution is.unat-
tainable in Ireland, that is to say, such revolution as
is here alluded to. The people of that country, how-
ever easily their impressionable natures may be
swayed by the plausible rhetoric of designing dema-
gogues, are becoming more keenly alive to their
own interests, and better acquainted with their
real rights. Yes, revolution is unattainable in Ire-
land, witness the enthusiastic shouts which greeted
Vic-roma:ls progress. The almost unprecedented
acclamations with which her Britannic MAJESTY was
received in Ireland were, doubtless, as a death- knell
to the hopes of the disaffected. Yet these demon-
strations of warm-hearted enthusiasm on the part of
the Irish—

"The noble in patience—now noble in love"—

honourable as they are to Ireland, and highly charac-
teristic of her generous people, are not enough to satisfy
our ambition for that people. We would see a revolution
in Ireland—a social revolution, of that peaceful and
sublime character by which, like the far-famed philo-
sopher's stone, baser metals are converted into gold—
a social revolution, which should render the green
isle worthy of its . name, by spreading a
verdant fertility over its barren places —a
social revolution, which should make industry take
the place of apathy, and (as an almost inevitable con-
sequence) content take the place of disaffeetiori. The
Irish orators are partly right when they say Ireland
must look to herself for happiness. On Ireland her-
self much of her own prosperity depends ; but she
i must look for, that prosperity not to the eloquence of
her senators in College-green, but to'the Persevering
exertions of , her people themselves. We have seen
how gallantly that people, can come forward to do
homage to a royal visitor—let them only evince a
similar happy resolution in their own cause,
and Irish distress will be a bye-word. Let
the hardy peasant hands just raised ' high
in acclamation not relapse into idleness, but
cheerily do their best. And, - more especially,
let the Irish landlords, who crowded round
her MAJESTY with loyal words and smiling faces,
now attest the truth of ' all their protestations by.
doing their utmost in converting Ireland into that
land of loyalty and gladneis which it must-have ap-
peared in the eyes of Queen Vfcronis.. SOme such
happy consequences as these we would fain have re-
sult from the royal progress.
That royal progress, as we have already said,
called forth demonstrations which. were highly
honourable to the Irish nation, but to no one
was that visit more honourable than to the
object of so much loving loyalty. Since
her accession to the throne, her ' liisaiEsTY
has repeatedly, by some act of spontaneous kindness
and unaffected sympathy, endeared, herself to the
affections of her people, but we remember no act sO
beautiful and in its simplicity so indicative of the
warmth of her woman's heart as her standing on the

way behind the staunchest lover of the good old times,
even Lord JOHN MANNERS himself, in our admiration
for the royal virtues of VICTORIA so signally displayed
on the occasion of her auspicious Irish visit. There
was a question very prematurely agitated some time
back as to who should educate the Prince of WALES.
His Royal Highness is now, by his mother's side,
receiving the, best of all education for an English
King. He is making a personal acquaintance with
the multitude, unsurrounded by the serried ranks of
armed guards. At his early age he is learning that
popular approbation is the most precious object of
royal ambition. Such is the princely education which
befits the nineteenth century, when " the tower of
strength," of Monarch and multitude, no longer
exists in the " King's name," but in the mutual accord
of King and people.

England is doing her duty nobly in support of the
cause of Hungary. London, Westminster, Mary-
lebone, Edinburgh, Manchester, Cardiff, Sheffield,
and numerous other places have already come for-
ward to express their sympathy with, and their
desire to aid, the brave Magyars now fighting the
battle of the freedom of mankind ; and other towns
are preparing to follow their excellent example. Not-
tingham meets on Monday, with the Mayor in tbe
chair, and Mr. FEARGUS O'Colowit, the Member for
the town, has promised to attend, and almost every large
town in England is preparing to do the same. At the
earlier metropolitan meetings many of the speakers
treated the matter somewhat too gingerly—they
seemed afraid to speak out ; since, however, the ques-
tion of war was fairly put to the Marylebone
meeting, there bas been none of this timidity
observable at the metropolitan meetings ; and
in the provinces they have always spoken
out, as witness the admirable speech of Dr.
VAUGHAN at the Manchester meeting, which is fully
reported in another column, and which we recom-
mend to the attentive study of all those who take an
interest not in the Hungarian cause only, but in the
cause of civil and religious liberty all over the world.
More particularly do we approve of the manner in
which Dr. VAUGHAN denounces the traitorous conduct
of the French reactionary Government in relation to
the Roman Republic ; that conduct is, we have reason
to believe, held in abhorrence by the great majority
of the French people, who are as averse as ever
they were to, sacerdotal domination, and who feel as
keenly as does Dr. VAUGHAN, "the blot which
stains the shield of France." We trust that
at all these meetings the hands of the friends
of freedom in France will be strengthened
by the expression of similar sentiments. It will
tend more to cement the entente cordiale between the
two people than could any act of any Government.
But notwithstanding the armies of NICHOLAS and
FRANCIS JOSEPH—notwithstanding the intrigues of
DR FAuoux and Pins IX.—we do not despair of
the cause of European liberty, and we cordially join
in the hope and the belief expressed by Dr. VAUGHAN
in the soul-stirring peroration of his most eloquent
address :

" I don't bate—and I am glad to see that you do not
bate—a jot of heart and hope, notwithstanding the
cloud that may be rolling about us. I believe that
Hungary cannot become a dependent of Russia. I
believe that Italy can never be ruled as it has been
ruled of late, and that we have only to be faith-
ful to our vocation as the professed friends of
freemen, to take our place as we ought, on its behalf,
checking its vice with a fidelity that we have
a right to exercise, but strengthening its virtues with all
the might we can; in fact, we have only to attend to the
mission that appertains to us, as men of a country that
is known in connexion with the names of Elizabeth and
Cromwell—(Cheers)—with the names of Alfred and
Hampden, of Russell and of Sydney; we have only to
catch the mantle which these departed ones have left to
us, and still our country will discharge her trust and her
great leadership as the champion for right against
might—the champion of good against evil, and of the
oppressed against the oppressor."

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The divisions among the Majority have become of
so serious a character that Count MOLE has assembled
a congress of the leaders of the different fractions at
his country seat, at Chaniplatreux, for the purpose of
endeavouring, if possible, to heal the schism. Among
the visitors of Count MOLE will be MM. TuiEns,
MONTALEMBEET and BERRYER. M. THIERS, if we
may judge from the language of the Constitutionnel,
is prepared to make great sacrifices to conciliate the
Parti Pretre, which, however, will have none of him,
as is plainly declared in the Univers. The Constitu-
tionnel even goes to the length of attacking M.
DUFAURG for not dismissing every person connected
with the administration of the Home Department,
who was appointed between February and December,
1848, or who is suspected of holding Republican
opinions; but even this is insufficient to conciliate the
Parti-Pretre, who are determined to re-establish sacer-
dotal government in France as they have already
done in Rome ; and the government of priests ever
has been, and ever will be, a material and a moral
tyranny of the most debasing and degrading desciip-
don such as no man of spirit or mind, or talent,
could long submit to; they are, therefore, wise in
breaking with M. THIERS, because they know that,
within three months after their restoration to power,
he would be obliged to break with them.
The Siecle has the following on the attacks made on
M. DUFAURE by the organs of the Parti-Pretre:—
" Since M. Dufaure has entered into the Ministry, he
has followed the usual course of human affairs; he has
by turns done evil and good, and by turns we have
praised or blamed him, always taking into account both
the good intentions of the man, and the difficulties of
the situation so complicated and delicate which he ac-
cepted. Do those who now attack him with such unex-
ampled violence, as well as those who so blindly defend
him, believe that they efface from his administration the
good or the bad acts which he there performs? Cer-
tainly not ; but M. Dufaure is Minister of the Interior;
he holds in his hand that fairy b_ot from which flow
not all the virtues, but employments and favours without
number. The one party considers that 34. Dufaure does
not place that box sufficiently at its disposal; the other
is perfectly satisfied as it is. Hence arise anger without
cause, praise without reason. And these are the men
of order, the defenders of society! Let the country judge
them!"

The meeting of the Peace Congress will take place
on the 22d, 23d, and 24th, from 12 o'clock to 5. M.
VICTOR. HUGO has accepted the Presidency of the
Congress; the Vice-President will be chosen from
amongst the delegates from different countries. La
Patrie announces, in a communicated'article, that no
political subjects will be permitted to be discussed.
M. ROLLAND, 'a Member of the Legislative As-
sembly, has been condemned 'by the Court'of Assize
of the Cote d'Or to five years' imprisonment, with a
fine of 4,0001., and the expenses of process; for an
article published by him in a country paper. M.
MALARDIER, another representative, has been con-
demned at Nevers to four years imprisonment, and a
fine of 5,000 f., for a pamphlet which he published, in
which some Socialist ideas are enforced. The journals
are filled with accounts of trials, condemnations, fines,
and 'imprisonments in all parts of the country for
offences of the press.
Letters from Lyons state that martial law is en-
forced in that city with, 'extraordinary severity. Le
Monde Repiddicain, a neivjournal started to replace
alOurnal suppressed' in consequence of the revolu-
tionary movement of the 13th of June, has been
suspended by order of the Commander-in-Chief.
A letter from Rochefort states that a serious riot
hid occurred-among, the operatives employed in the
dockyard of that town, . in consequence of some of
them having died- of choleti. Their. companions
insisted that they had been poisoned, and had in con-
sequence committed the most' deplorabie excesses.
