MR. SPURGEON ON GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE; At
a tea meeting, held last week, the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon said':
—He could not help remembering that God had honoured
those present to be the first who assembled in great multi-
tudes in Exeter Hall. When he first heard of a clergy-
man of the Church of England preaching in Exeter Hall,
his soul leaped within him, while he said, " Lord, now let
thy servant depart in peace." They were going to build a
large tabernacle, and ho was sure they would have great
success. (Cheers.) They had done a great deal—(hear,
hear)—but they ought to have done a great deal more.
(Laughter and cheers.) Some ought not to have done so
much, but others had spared themselves, keeping back what
was the Lord's, who made them the stewards of their
wealth. They had not done badly in collecting £9,000, and
buying a piece of land at Newington. In regard to Gothic
deigns for churches, he could never make himself heard in
thew, and could may eec that the Deyil invented it,

STUDDY V. STUDDY.

Dr. Addams, Q.C., and Mr. Jones were counsel
for the petitioner; Mr. K. Macaulay, Q.C., and Dr.
Spinks for the respondent.
This was a petition for a judicial separation on
the ground of adultery. The respondent Major
Studdy, had served many years in India, and was a
widower at the time of his marriage with the re-
spondent. He married the respondent, then a Miss
Vere, in April, 1852, and resided with her at vari-
ous places in Devonshire until. Oct., 1857. The re-
spective ages of the lady and gentlemen were said
to be about 50 and 40, and the lady had property to
the amount of £5OO a year, which was settled upon
her. In 1855 Major Studdy formed an adulterous
connexion with a girl in his service named Jane
Hodges. Differences having arisen between him
and his wife with regard to the place of their resi-
dence, Major Studdy not liking to live in such a se-
cluded place as Paignton, and Mrs. Studdy, on the
other hand, disliking society, they separated by
mutual consent in Oct. ,1857. Since that period
Major Studdy- has renewed his connexion with
Jane Hodges, and has cohabited with her as man
and wife at Flora-place, Plymouth.
On the part of Maor Studdy the adultery charged
was not disputed, but it was contended that the
cohabitation subsequent to 1855 had condoned the
adultery of ihat fear and that the consent of the
wife to the separation, after she was aware of the
previous adultery, raised a presuniption that she
agreed not to take advantage of a renewal of the
adulterous intercourse by making it the foundation
of a suit if the husband performed his part of the
agreement by not interfering with her. Major
Studdy also denied his wife's allegation that the
consent to the separation had been obtained from
her by coercion.
Mr. Macaulay proposed to examine Major Studdy
in order to prove that when Mrs: Studdy signed the
agreement for the separation she was aware that
the probable consequence of the separation would
be a renewal of his intercourse with Hodges, but

His Lordship held that Major Studdy's evidence
was not admissible, as this was a suit founded upon
adultery.
Mr. K. Macaulay. afterwards applied to be al-
lowed to cross-examine Mrs. Studdy upon some of
the allegations in her petition.
His Lordship said he would allow Mrs. Studdy
to be examined, but not cross-examined--at any
rate, in the first instance.
Mr. K. Macaulay declined to call her.
Witnesses on both sides having been examined,
Sir C. Cresswcll took time to consider his decision.

SITTINGS OF TILE FULL COURT.
His Lordship said he had some hope of obtaining
the attendance of two judges for the purpose of
proceeding- with the cases set down for hearing
before the full court, for two or three days before
the commencement of next term, and perhaps for a
day or two during the first week of term.

_MIDDLES

S. Dec. 20.

The sittings of the Court for the December Gene-
ral Sessions of the Peace for the County of Middle-
sex, were resumed this morning, at the Guildhall,
Westminster, by adjournment from Clerkenwell,be -
fore Mr. Pashley,Q. C., assistant judge ; Mr. Creasy,
deputy ; and the following magistrates :—Mr.T.Cot-
terell, ex-sheriff; Mr. Goodhart,ditto ; Mr.Dimsdale,
Mr. Thrupp, Capt. Morley, Mr. Hogarth, Mr. Dun-
nington Fletcher, Mr. H. Warner, and Mr. White,
There were 58 prisoners for trial, 54 charged with
felony, and 4 with misdemeanour. The courts were
occupied during the day disposing of cases of lar-
ceny, in most of which the prisoners pleaded guilty.
A melancholy illustration of " In the midst of life
we are in death" occurred this morning. Mr. S
Styles, plumber, of Norris-street, Haymarket, was
attending the court on a summons as a traverse
juror, and just before the business commenced he
went over to the Green Man public-house and called
for three penny-worth of brandy with cold water.
As he was in the act of raising the glass to his
mouth he staggered and fell down dead. Mr. Teb-
butt, the landlord of the house, rendered every as-
sistance, and the unfortunate man was immediately
removed to the hospital, but life was gone. It was
stated that it was through disease of the heart.

SERVIA.

A letter from Belgrade of the 12th says
"On the occasion of the assembling of the
Skuptchina a salvo of cannon was fired last
evening, and this morning the Servian troops
were drawn up in front of the cathedral, and a
large crowd assembled there. Shortly after the
Prince arrived in a carriage, escorted by lancers,
and was received at the entrance to the church by
the metropolitan, by two bishops, and the clergy,
who accompanied him in procession to a place in
the church. Divine service was then celebrated,
and the metropolitan preached a sermon, in which
he defined the sense of the word liberty. After-
wards there was a grand reception at the palace.
A certain number of deputies, however, refused
to attend it, and they will probably also refuse
to attend a grand banquet which the Prince is
to give this day to the National Assembly.
Many of the deputies base their refusal on the
ground. that _they have come to discharge. ,the.
business of the country, and that until that is done
there ought to be no amusements. The formal
opening of the Skuptchina cannot take place to-
morrow, because a commission, consisting of the
Minister of the Interior and three senators is to
verify the powers of all the deputies."

Accounts from Martinique to the 28th ult. have
arrived. The council-general had voted the estab-
lishment of a careening dock at Fort de France,
and the introduction of 18,000 immigrants-7,000
Africans and 11,000 Chinese. This large number
was considered necessary in consequence of the
great and increasing desertion of labourers in the
island. A detachment of 515 coolies had arrived
from Pondicherry. The Seine, transport, had sailed
for France with numerous functionaries, and the
brigs Mercure and Olivier had arrived from France,
and had left to join the French squadron under Ad-
miral Penaud off Vera Cruz. Accounts from Gua-
daloupe to the 28th ult. have also been received,
but they are unimportant.

A letter from Vienna states that the reinforce-
ments which the Austrian Government has sent to
Lombardy amount to about 8,000 men.

The Madrid journals of the 16th, due this
morning, have not arrived. A letter, however,
states that in the course of the debate in the
Senate on the 14th, the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, in reply to the Marquis de Viluma, said
that the Government could not for the present
produce documents relative to the expedition to
Cochin China, undertaken in conjunction with
France, but would do so hereafter, and would at
the same time give all the explanation that could
be required.

HOOKE V. HOOKE.

Dr. Spinks, for the petitioner, moved for a " de-
cree of confrontation," for the purpose of procuring
the attendance of Mrs. Hooke, the respondent, at
the trial of the petition, and to be confronted with
the witnessss who would be called to prove the
adultery with which she,was charged. The ground
of the application was that in the old ecclesiastical
courts it was the practice to.make such orders.
Mr. Brown opposed the motion, on the ground
that the rules of practice of the ecclesiastical courts
did not apply to petitions for a dissolution of mar-
riage, as those courts had no jurisdiction over those
matters.
Sir C. Cresswell said he had no means of enforc
ing the order, and therefore must refuse to make it

STRAND THEATRE.

A little piece, by Mr. Frank Talfourd, entitled " The Rule
of Three," was produced at this theatre last night, in the
presence of a crowded and fashionable audience. An old
man married to a pretty young wife is as jealous of his
treasure as veterans so blessed invariably are (on the stage) ;
and, on the principle of neutralising one poison by another,
he makes it a practice, whenever one young fellow come
dangling about her, to send for a second, and so prevent
the possibility of a tete-a-tete. This practical illustration
of "two is company, but three is none," does well enough
for a time, but a third interloper appears on the scene, and,
by falsely representing himself as a married man and the
father of three children, imposes on the4tredulity of the
old husband, who allows him to flirt away to his heart's
content with his wife. The mutual jealousies of the three
young bachelors give rise to some amusing scenes, but,
though the piece was very well acted, it had but a moderate
success, and we have often seen "metal more attractive"
from the hand of its clever and accomplished author.

THE SUN.

TUESDAY. DECEMBER 21, 1858.

The President's Message, to which we referred
in The Sun of Saturday, has been duly received,
and will be found in extenso in our impression of
yesterday. The telegram, however, contained its
most prominent features—all, indeed, that would
materially interest persons on this side of the
Atlantic.

Mr. BUCHANAN is anxious to teach a salutary
lesson to the great nation of which he is chief
magistrate. He sees that they possess the elements
of greatness, but that there are many drawbacks
which may prevent the full development of thepower
and prosperity which he anticipates. He there-
fore lectures in a graver manner than may be
quite agreeable to the parties ; but still the censure
is joined with a modicum of praise that sweetens
the dose, and renders it sufficiently palatable to
be swallowed without any extraordinary effort.
Our transatlantic brethren are not very willing to
accept anything that may be considered derogatory
to their dignity ; but when it is so judiciously
mixed that it can be taken without any injury to
the amour propre it may prove highly beneficial to
the go-a-head race.

We are told that Kansas is at peace. It is time
that it should be so. Unfortunately, however, the
system of slavery forced on the inhabitants, under
the pressure of bowie knives and revolvers bran-
dished and pointed by a set of truculent ruffians
from a neighbouring state, still exists. Kansas is
now a slave state, and must continue so for a cer-
tain period, which the inhabitants who have the
right of voting may correct, if they have not in
the interim been demoralised by the hideous prac-
tice. The "domestic institution" has been forced on
unwilling subjects, but it may be difficult to reform
an evil, to abate a social nuisance, that has once
taken root in the soil. The slave system was most
unfairly and unconstitutionally forced on Kansas,
and now it must be maintained against the will of
the people for a certain time. Slaves, it appears,
are considered as property in the American tribu-
nals, and they may be taken even into the Free
States, and held there without the odious claim
being in any degree weakened.
Utah has submitted. BRIGHAM YOUNG has had
sufficient wisdom to see that in a contest with the
United States his party must have failed, and he
has acted prudently before the question had become
too serious, and his party had been implicated be-

ST. MARTIN'S HALL.

Handel's chef d'ceurre, "The Messiah," was performed
in this Hall last night, under the able direction of Mr.
Hullah. The audience was large and attentive. The chief
vocalists were Miss Banks, Miss Dolby, Mr. Montem Smith,
and Mr. Thomas. Miss Banks possesses a good soprano
voice, but is scarcely equal to an effective rendering of
Handel. The solo airs demand a first-rate singer. Miss
Dolby sang the contralto part very effectively, and intro-
duced the beautiful air, "He was despised and rejected of
men," which was so long omitted. Mr. Montem Smith
was the tenor singer, and Mr. Thomas, who has a good
bass voice, was very successful in his performance of
" Why do the nations," which is the most effective air
allotted to the bass. The choruses, which are among the
finest in the whole range of oratorio music, were well given,
and Mr. Hullah deserves public encouragement for his
indefatigable efforts to bring these glorious masterpieces of
the musical art within reach of all classes.

VIOLATION OF THE FACTORY ACT.—At the
Acrington Court-house, on Thursday, Messrs. Watson
Brothers, of Church, were fined £2 with costs, in each of

smaller than might have been taken, as the mill was found
to be in full operation at a quarter past six.--Manchester

called for three times, and the principal singers were hon-
oured with siosilar ovations at the termination of each act.

HOOKE V. HOOKE.

Dr. Spinks, for the petitioner, moved for a " de-
cree of confrontation," for the purpose of procuring
the attendance of Mrs. Hooke, the respondent, at
the trial of the petition, and to be confronted with
'the witnesses who would be called to prove the
adultery with which she was charged. The ground
of the application was that in the old ecclesiastical
courts it was the practice to make such orders.
Mr. Brown opposed the motion,'On the ground
that the rules of practice of the ecclesiastical courts
did not apply to petitions for a dissolution of mar-
riage, as those courts had no jurisdiction over those
matters. _ _

Sir C. Cresswell said he had no means of enforc
ing the order, and therefore must refuse to make it

MARCHMON T V. MARCHMONT.

This petition by a wife for a judicial separation
on the ground of cruelty was hied at the last sit-
ting, and resulted, it will be remembered, after a
trial of eight days, in a verdict for the petitioner.
Mr. Sergeant Pigott now moved for a decree for
a judicial separation.
Mr. K. Macaulay, Q.C. for the respondent, in-
timated that it was his intention either to move for
a new trial, or to appeal from his lordship's decree
if it were now pronounced.
After a short discussion as to the more convenient
mode of proeeeding, it was agreed, on the sugges-
tion of the learned judge, that the decree should be
postponed until the motion for a new trial had been
made. His lordship added that it would be more
agreeable to him to have the original motion made
for a new trial, as well as the argument before the
full court

STRAND THEATRE.

A little piece, by Mr. Frank Talfourd, entitled " The Rule
of Three," was produced at this theatre last night, in the
presence of a crowded and fashionable audience. An old
man married to a pretty yount wife is as jealous of his
treasure as veterans so blessed invariably are (on the stage) ;
and, on the principle of neutralising one poison by another,
he makes it a practice, whenever one young fellow comes
dangling about her, to send for a second, and so prevent
the possibility of a tete-a-tete. This practical illustration
of " two is company, but three is none," does well enough
for a time, but a third interloper appears on the scene, and,
by falsely representing himself as a married man and the
father of three children, impoies on the credulity of the
old husband, who allows him to flirt away to his heart's
content with his wife. The raatual jealousies of the three
young bachelors give rise to some amusing scenes, but,
though the piece was very well acted, it had but a moderate
success, and we have often seen "metal more attractive"
from the hand of its clever and accomplished author.
