CAMPBELL V. GARSTEN- cum. CON.

This was an actin brought to recover compensation
in damages for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's
wife.

After the jury had been sworn,

Sir F. Thesiger, who was counsel for the plaintiff, said
this was a case in which it was desirable that the circum-
stances should be withheld from the public as much as
possible. He had communicated with his learned friend li
on the other side, who had found that he could not resist
the plaintiff's claim for damages. He thought that the
plaintiff ought to receive at least 5001., and he under-
stood his learned friend was prepared on the part of the
defendant to agree to a verdict for that amount.
Lord Campbell—That is an arrangement which may
be carried into effect. I hope I shall live to see the day
when actions of this kind will be no longer a reproach
to the law of England.
Sir F. Thesiger—lf I had been called upon to address
the jud I should unquestionably have made that obser-
vation myself. I think it is very degrading to us that
it should be necessary to bring these actions.
Lord Campbell—lt is degrading, I think it is dis-
graceful, that such actions should be permitted, and I
am ashamed of this practice when I converse withforeign
jurists. They have observed to me that under our la by
a husband might sell his wife with a rope round her
neck, but I have told them that that was merely a fat le,
and that there was no foundation whatever for such a
reproach to our law. Thoy have then replied, "But
what do you say to an action for criminal conversation,
which enables a husband to put money in his pocket fur
the dishonour of his wife ?" I certainly feel ashamed
when such a remark is addressed to me.

Sir F. Thesiger—The jury will understand that actions
of this nature are a necessity which is imposed on a
par seeking redress. As the law now stands, a man
cannot obtain a divorce unless he gets the verdict of the
jury, with damages, for the injury sustained.
Lord Campbell—And I sincerely hope that another
session of Parliament will not pass away without that
grievance being remedied.
Sir F. Thesiger said he entirely concurred in that
hope.
A verdict was then entered, by consent, for the plain-
tiff—damages, 5001.

ROB➢ING A CAPTAIN OF A SHlP.—Ellen Hobbs, alias
Rooke, a dirty-looking prostitute, was brought before
Mr. Yardley, with an old woman named Mary Harring-
ton, who keeps a house of ill-fame in Berner-street,
Shadwell, charged with stealing nine 51. notes and a
pocket-book from John Flinton.

The prosecutor is captain of the ship George Ramsay,
lying at Irongate-stairs, near the Tower ; and on Friday
night last he met the girl Hobbs at Ratcliff-cross. She
put her arms round his neck, and said he was her dear
young man. They passed the night at the old woman's
house, and next morning she accompanied the captain to
the Sailors' Home, where he discharged his men and
changed a 51. note in payment of some goods. He
was drinking all day with the girl Hobbs,
and in the evening again accompainied her to
the house of the old woman. He awoke the next morn-
ing and found the young woman was gone, and his
pocket-bock, containing nine 51. notes, was gone too.
He gave no information of his loss to the police until
last night, when Potter waited on the old woman, who
said, "I will tell you the truth. The girl Hobbs, or
Ellen Rooke, as she calls herself, came here on Sunday
morning with a pocket-book, and burnt some of the
papers, and took out nine Si. notes. We went out to
get them changed, and went to Birkitt's (a publican),
who refused to change one, and Ellen then left me.
Mr. Yardley discharged Harrington, who was sworn
as a witness against the other prisoner, and proved very
clearly that Hobbs had possession of the nine stolen
notes. Hobbs was thereupon remanded for a week.

THE GREAT NORTE iI:RN RAILWAY

FRAUDS.

The prisoners Redpath and 13 :ent were to-day again
placed at the bar of the Clerk( tnwell Police-court, to
undergo another, and, it was ea :petted, final, examina-
tion. The evidence brought for ward was of a similar
character to that offered on Frid 'ay last, the nature of
which, it will be recollected, was to prove certain cases
of forgery against Redpath. Th e investigation into the
accounts of the Great Northern Railway Company is
still proceeding, and the defalcations are not expected
to exceed the amount we mentic ned a few days ago—
viz., 150,0001.

ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—WiIIiam Coutts, a respect-
able-looking man, was brought before Mr. Burcham,
charged with stealing a purse containing money, a quan-
tity of sugar, tea, coffee, and jana, the property of his
master, Mr. Bourne, grocer, Mackmau;street, South-
wark.

Anseombe, 102 F, said that o n the previous day be
apprehended the prisoner for steeling a purse containing
some money, having traced him from Holborn to the
prosecutor's shop. Afterwards be went to his lodgings,
Park-row, Park-road, Clapham, and on searching his
room he found a quantity of new clothing, eight pounds
of moist sugar, about a pound of tea, a canister of coffee,
and several cans of jam, all of which Mr. Bourne iden-
tified as having been stolen from his stock.
The prosecutor was next sworn, and ha said that the
prisoner was couneeted with a very respectable family,
and he believed it was his first offence, consequently he
should strongly recommend him to mercy. The pro-
perty produced belonged to him, and had been taken
from his stock.

Mr. Burcham asked the prisoner whether he would
prefer pleading before him, or going to the sessions to be
tried ? If he took the former course he must plead
guilty, but he did not wish him to do so unless he liked.
The prisoner, who cried very much during the exami-
nation, said he was guilty. It was his first offence, and
ho hoped his Worship would be merciful towards him.
_ _

Mr. Burcham told him he had been guilty of a very
serious offence, and one which was always punished
with great severity by the judges at sessions. He could
not pass over such a crime without inflicting severe
punishment, but not so long as he should have done bad
not the prosecutor strongly recommended him to mercy.
Lie must be sentenced to three months' hard labour in

—A fearful boiler explosion took place yesterday, at the
Tipton ironworks, near this town,
iog to Messrs.
Creswell and Co., by which a number of men and boys
were seriously injured and it is feared some of them
fatally so. The boiler 'which is a be;ong
large one, 12 feet by
25 feet, burst with a terrific explosion, and was projected
through the air, and carried across the canal adjoining
the works to a considerable distance, sinking two boats
and damaging two others wbich were upon the stock,

GREECE.

The King of Greece received on the day after
his return to Athens Baron de Brenner, Minis-
ter Plenipotentiary of Austria, who presented
his credentials. The baron on the occasion ad-
dressed his Majesty as follows :
" Sire,—•The Emperor, my august master, in deigning
to accredit me to your Majesty with a higher rink than
my predecessors, desired thereby to give to your Ma-
jesty, his august cousin, a new proof of his high esteem
and friendship, and of the great importance which he
attaches to his being properly represented in Greece.
Happy in being the origin of these sentiments of the Im-
penal Court, I will endeavour to display tie same feeling
in the relations which I shall personally have to main-
tain with the Greek Government. I have the honour to
present to your Majesty the letters of recall of Baron
de Walter and my own credentials."

The King replied as follows :
"The grade which it has pleased the Emperor of A us-
tria, my very dear cousin, to confer on his new repre-
sentative at my court, is undoubtedly an additional
proof of his sentiments of friendship for me—sentiments
which his Imperial Majesty has been so kind as to
testify to me on all occasions. The choice which the
Emperor has made of you, Monsieur le Baron, is the
more agreeable to me that I have had the pleasure of
knowing you previously, and have been able to appre-
ciate your merits."

The King the day after received Halil Bey, who
presented his credentials as Minister Plenipoten-
tiary of the Sultan. In the speech which be
delivered on the occasion Halil Bey stated to
his Majesty that "the Sultan was animated by
a strong desire to continue without interrup-
tion the relations of friendship and good neigh-
bourhood which now so happily exist be-
tween the two nations," and that he was
charged to give the King "a formal assurance
of the sincere and constant friendship of the
Sultan for the august person of his Majesty."
To this the King replied, that " he received the
declarations with pleasure, that he maintained the
same sentiments for the Sultan, and that he would
neglect nothing to maintain and render unchange-
able the relations of friendship and good neigh-
bourhood between the two States." He concluded
with the customary compliment to the Minister
personally.

After the ceremony a dinner was given at the pa-
lace, but much surprise was felt at no ladies or the
members of the French Embassy being present.
The King of Prussia already possesses the French
Order of the Holy Spirit, which was presented to
him !in 1817 by Louis XVIII. The King wore
this order the last time four or five years back, on
the occasion of the visit of the Duke do Bordeaux
to Sans Souci.

Another letter from Berlin, in the German
Journal of Frankfort, says :—" Some arrange-
ments having been made by the Ministry of State
for the furtherance of public busineis, two or
three bills have been presented to the chambers.
The Minister of Justice, in bringing forward
that on divorce, remarked that the measure was
founded on the same principle as were exemplified
in that presented to the chambers two years ago,
and that the only difference was that it allows sepa-
ration under certain cases. The Ministers of Jus-
tice and War also presented a bill relative to loans
made to minors, and intended to prevent prodiga-
lity and dissipation. From the part taken by the
Minister of War in this measure, there is reason to
suppose that it has been brought forward in conse-
quence of the scenes which lately occurred among
officers of the Prussian guard."

TEE COMMON-SERGEANTSHIP.

Yesterday a numerous meeting of the friends of
W. H. Bodkin, Esq., was held at the Guildhall Coffee-
house—Mr. Deputy Lott in the chair—to concert mea-
sures for securing his election to the office of Common
Sergeant, in the event of the election of Russell
Gurney, Esq., to that of Recorder. Amongst
those present were Mr. Sergeant Shee, Mr. M.
C. Graham, Q.C., Mr. Sleigh, barrister ; Mr. Gif-
ford, barrister ; Mr. Arnold, magistrate ; Sir C. D.
Crossley ; Mr. Po wnall, Middlesex Magistrate ; Mr.
Burchell, under sheriff ; Mr. Humphreys, solicitor ;
Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, and a number of others.
Several gentlemen addressed the meeting in support of
Mr. Bodkin's eligibility to the office of Common Sergeant,
and the
,following resolution was unanimously agreed

to :
" That the well known talent, extensive experience, and
high professional position of W. H. Bodkin, Esq., who has
for thirty years practised in the metropolitan courts—
during a large portion of which period he has the re con-
ducted the business of Government, and of various public
bodies with universal satisfaction who has also
exercised, with firmness and humanity, the judicial
functions of Recorder of Dover —of Assistant Judge
of the County of Middles x (during the absence of
Mr. Sergeant Adams), and has occasionally sat for the
Recorder of London at the Sessions and in the Mayor's
Court—eminently qualify him in the opinion of this meet-
ing to fulfil the duties of Common Sergeant with credit to
the Corporation and advantage to the public."

Mr. BODKIN, in addressing the meeting, said that he
did not seek the office for the sake of a retiring pen-
sion, because if he were elected he would aeither ask
for nor accept a pension from the corporation.
The meeting, after pledging itself to use every legiti-
mate means of securing Mr. Budkin's election, then
separated.

OMER PACHA
_AND THE FALL OF

KARS.

The following extracts are from the Constanti•
nople correspondence of the Journal des Debuts,
The letter is dated Dec. 24 ;--

"Public opinion is getting defined respecting the fall
of Kars. It is felt that the first and gravest responsibi-
lity falls on Rica Pacha, ez•Seraskier, who neglected
supplying it with a sufficient stock of provisions. After
him the personage most attacked is Omer Pacha, who,
at the head of the forces placed at his disposal, might
easily have arrived to its relief in time, had he displayed
more energy and activity. Thus they all agree that ho
ought to have marched on Kars by the Batoum route,
without wasting a whole month in an immense and
circuitous march, utterly useless, via Soukum Kaleh.
At the Ingour he might have cut off the Russian
corps to a man, but he did not do it. After the
battle of the Ingour, he ought to have closely pursued
the flying enemy and taken Kutais, a very easy thing
to have done with the imposing force he possessed, but
he did not do it. He has given time (having spent
more than a month in doing nothing) for Bebutoff's and
Mouravieff's reserves to come up to the defence of
Kutais, whereupon he no longer dares attack them, and
retreats to Soukum Kaleh. Here, as in the Crimea, as
in Roumelia, several superior officers withdrew in dis-
gust and have left him.
" The partisans of the previous ministries want to
throw all the responsibility on the present ministers for
the fall of Kars. They are entirely blameless in the
matter, and did all they possibly could to prevent it."

PROCLAMATION TO THE RUSSIAN
PEASANTS.

The following is the text of the appeal addressed
by the Emperor of Russia to the peasants of the
Crown domains. It is sent to Count Perowsky,
General of Infantry and Minister of Appanages :
" Count Leon Alexiewitsch !—Our father of blessed
memory, by a reecript addressed to you on Oct. 25,
1854, called upon the peasants of the Crown domains to
participate in the general work of the defence of the
country.

"At once many more volunteers presented themselves
than were necessary to form the effective of the regiment
of tirailleurs of the Imperial family, three battalions
strong.
"More than half of those who offered themselves were
able to return to their homes. We now judge it neces-
sary to form the fourth battalion of the same regiment,
and we therefore order a new appeal to be addressed to
the peasants of the domains conformably to the prin-
ciples established in the regulation of Oct. 25, 1854.
"In charging you with the formation of the fourth
battalion, we are perfectly convinced that in response to
our appeal the peasants of the domains will run to the
defence of the country with the same eagerness as their
brothers, called by our father, displayed, when they
offered themselves to resist the enemies of orthodox and
holy Russia.

THE PEACE PROPOSITIONS.

Our advices from Berlin inform us that, accord
ing to his instructions, Count Esterhazy may wait
eight days, that is to say, until the 4th of Jan.,
for Count Nesselrode's answer. After that date,
should the answer not have been' returnod, Count
Esterhazy will send to Count Nesselrode a note
reminding him of his communication of December
27, and urging him to make known the intentions
of the Emperor Alexander. Ho will give the
Russian Minister a further space of ten days.
This second period will expire on the 15th of
January. Should the Russian Government main-
tain its silence, Count Esterhazy will at once
leave St. Petersburg and return to
Vienna, with all the members of the Aus-
trian Legation. But, at Berlin, no doubt is
entertained that before the 15th—and pro-
bably before the 4th—of January, Count Nes-
selrode will have replied to the Austrian commu-
nication. It is therefore believed that Count
Esterhazy will be able to avert a rupture, or at
least an immediate rupture, of diplomatic rela-
tions.

It is expected that the reply of Coma Nessel-
rode will be in conformity with the declarations
contained in his circular note of Dec. 22 (already
made known by telegraphic summary). It is not
expected that Count Esterhazy's mission will have
a successful issue : it is thought very likely, how-
ever, that the ambassador may refer to his Go-
vernment and demand new instructions before

taking any decisive and irrevocable step.
Nothing gives reason to believe that Russia
abandons the ground upon which she kas hitherto
persisted in taking her stand ; we are assured
that she would rather incur the risks of a third
campaign.

In the Journal des Debats of yesterday, M. S.
de Sacy writes :—`' We have received intelli-
gence from St. Petersburg of the 27th and 28th
ult., by way of Berlin. The accounts confirm
those which have already been published by the
English journals as telegraphic despatches. Count
Esterhazy saw Count Nesselrode on the 27th,
the day after his arrival in the Russian capital,
and made the communication with which he was
charged by the Cabinet of Vienna. M. de Nes-
selrode listened to the propositions of M. d'Es-
terhazy without betraying any emotion : he did
not interrupt the Minister of Austria, but con-
tented himself with saying, will take the Em-
peror's orders.' "

MADRID, JAN. 2.

Some capitalists of Madrid have proposed to
the Government the creation of a National Credit
Bank. A report which had been current, that
the Spanish Cabinet intended to introduce civil
marriage into the laws of the country, is un-
founded.

JAR. 3.

The Cortes have adopted tho budgets of the
Presidency of the Council, of Foreign Affairs, and
of the Colonies. Marshal O'Donnell, who was
yesterday rather worse, is to-day again better.
