LA TV INTELLIGENCE.—Dec. 18.

-- ---
COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before Sir C. Cresswell and a Common Jury.)
'WATSON V. 'WATSON AND WILKINSON-VERDICT.
The hearing of this case, which commenced on
Tuesday last, was resumed this morning, when the
following additional evidence was adduced on the
part of the respondent to prove the alleged adul-
tery of the petitioner, Sir Charles Watson.
Sarah Nott, examined by Mr. Macaulay—l keep
the Uncle Tom's Cabin public-house at the village
of Swaffham at Reach, in Cambridgeshire. I know
a young woman named Ellen Cracknell. I recol-
lect the day before the ploughing match at Swaff-
ham, which took place on the 12th of November
last, Sir Charles Watson coming to my house with
Ellen Cracknell. It was arranged that she should
sleep in my bed with me, and Sir Charles should
occupy a bed in another room, where my brother
slept. They had tea at my house, and about 11
o'clock Ellen Cracknell went up stairs to my, room,
and Sir Charles followed her. When I went to go
to bed I found the doer of my room fastened.-
heard the gentleman speaking in the - room. • I
slept in the next room that night, and fJaw nothing
more of the parties until 12 o'clock next day. Sir
Charles Watson called for breakfast, which I took
him. He and Ellen Cracknell were in bed together.
I know a persozi named Party wad Mark Iron, and
I remember his coming to the house with some
other men on the morning of the Swaffham plough-
ing match, and one of them asking for Sir Charles
Watson. I told him, and he asked me to inquire
the name of the person. I did so, and he gave the
name of Webb. I told Sir Charles, and Ellen
Cracknell said he had better go down stairs,
and speak to him. He did so, being partly
dressed at the time. Sir Charles and Ellen
Cracknell went away in a dog cart which
had been left at Mr. Middleditch's public-
house at Swaffham. They came again to her house
and had tea together, and they wanted to have a
lodging, but she could not accommodate them,
Mark Iron, examined by Dr. Spinks—l am a
farmer, residing at Great Swaffham. I know Sir
Charles Watson. I was at Swaffham ploughing
match last November twelvemonths. On that occa-
sion I went to Uncle Tom's Cabin, accompanied by
a man named Crisp and some other men. I saw
Sir Charles in the kitchen, and he had only his
drawers and shirt on at the time. Crisp asked him
for some assistance, which Sir Charles refused.
Cross-examined by Sergeant Hayes—Crisp sent
up the name of Webb, a person who lived with Sir
Charles Watson. We heard that Sir Charles Wat-
son was in the house. We went there only out of
curiosity.

Ellen Cracknell, examined by Mr. O'Malley—l
am a single woman and live at West Wratting.
That is the parish in which Wratting Park is situ-
ated. I know Sir Charles Watson. I know a per-
son named Sarah Mansfield, who formerly lived at
West Wratting, but had since removed to Cam-
bridge. Sir Charles Watson spoke to me first last
July twelvemonths, I saw him at Sarah Mans-
field's. He played cards with us. I remember his
showing me a note which he said he received from
Sarah Mansfield after she went to Cambridge. I
think that was about twelve months ago. I re-
member after that going to Balsham with Sir
Charles Watson. It is about a mile from Wratting
Park, and there is a feast held there on the 6th of
July. I know the Black Bull, and I went there
with Sir Charles Watson. I know a girl named
Ann Littlechild, and I have seen a igirl named
Sarah Taylor. I spent the night at the Blac kßull
with Sir Charles Watson, but we did not go to
bed, and he !left the house about four o'clock
the next morning. I remember going with Sir
Charles to Newmarket races last October twelve
months. He took me in his dog-cart, and Sarah
Mansfield was with us. I went with him from there
to Reach, and he put up his dog-cart at the Black
Swan which is kept by Mr. Middleditch. We then
went to Uncle Tom's Cabin, where we slept toge-
ther that night. (The witness having corroborated
the evidence as regarded the men calling to see Sir
Charles Watson at Uncle Tom's Cabin, on the morn-
ing of the Swaffham Ploughing Mateh,proceeded.)
We breakfasted in bed together that morning.
After that, we went to Cambridge. We went to the
Sun public-house where Sarah Mansfield was living.
We remained there two nights, on both of which
Sir Charles Watson slept with me. I know the Bull
at Royston, and I slept the, e also with Sir Charles
Watson, but I don't remember the date. I went to
London with him, and we lived together for four
days and nights at a house in Leicester-square.
We returned together to Cambridge. Iknow Esther
Beaton, wholives at Newmarket. I remember going
to the door of her house with Sir Charles, and his
asking Beaton if shewould get him a girl,to which
she replied, that he should go after one for himself.
I know a Mrs. Guthridge at Cambridge, and I
stayed at her house about a week, last January,
with Sir Charles Watson. I remember seeing Sir
Charles at my house last Christmas-eve. He came
between 10 and 11 o'clock at night. He took me to
Wratting Park, and I slept with him in his house
that night. I saw the Dowager Lady Watson anda
sister of Sir Charles going out of the house next
morning to church. I saw him the next evening.
He came to my house between five and six o'clock
and he remained, playing cards, until 12 o'clock. I
then went with him to the Park, and I again slept
with him there. I went away the next day, about
half-past 11 or 12 o'clock. I breakfasted in the hall,
with Sir Charles Watson, before I left. _ _ _

Cross-examined by Sergeant Hayes—l work in a
field sometimes for my living. I never saw Sir
Charles Watson drunk, or anything odd about him.
He was quite serious when he asked the woman
Beaton about a girl. I saw him last in January of
the present year. Until Monday last I was not
applied to on the other side as to what information
I could supply.
Re-examined by Mr. O'Malley—On both occa-
sions when I slept with Sir Charles Watson at
Wratting Park, I was admitted to the house by the
footman.

Esther Beaton, examined by Mr. O'Malley—l
know last witness, and I remember her coming to
my house with Sir Charles Watson, and his asking
me if I would get him a girl, and my saying I would
not trouble myself about the matter.
Ann Littlechild deposed to having become ac-
quainted with Sir Charles Watson about three years
and a half ago, and having had connexion with him
then and subsequently. In cross-examination, this
witness said that she worked with her sister as a
dressmaker, and she admitted that she had improper
intimacy with other gentlemen besides Sir Charles
Watson.

Medical evidence was then given to show that
about four years ago Sir Charles Watson was suffer-
ing under a loathsome disease, and additional testi-
mony was adduced to establish the charge of adul-
tery against him with other women, besides those
who had been already examined.
Mr. O'Malley, on the part of Lady Watson,
summed up the evidence, and made a powerful
appeal on behalf of his client.
Mr. Macaulay followed on behalf of the co-
respondent.
Mr. Sergeant Hayes replied on the whole case.
Sir C. Cresswell summed up with great care point-
ing out that the three issues were, whether Lady
Watson had committed adultery with the co-respon-
dent ; whether Sir Charles Watson had committed
adultery ; and what damages, if any, he was entitled
to under the circumstances:developed in the evidence.
Ho commented strongly on some portions of the
testimony, as regarded the conduct of Sir Charles
Watson. As regards the co-respondent, he dre-'
attention to the fact that he was a manic(' man,
which rendered his conduct worse if he was guilty,
as ho was unable to make the unfortunate respon-
dent reparation by marrying her. As related to
damages, his lordship observed they were to be
dealt with, not as penal in their character, but as
compensation for the injury which the husband
sustained for the loss of his wife. The jury must
consider what that loss was, by the value which the
husband in this case set on the association of a vir-
tuous woman.

The jury, after half an hour's deliberation,
found a verdict to the effect that Lady Watson had
committed adultery with the co-respondent; that
Sir Charles -Watson had committed adultery with
divers females, and assessed the damages at forty
shillings.

PRIVATEER.—The Stratheden, arrived in the
river, reports that on the 2Gth November, in lat. 7N.
long. 25 W., she saw a schooner on the weather bow, gra.
dually stealing down to her. When she came near the two
vessels exchanged signals, the schooner showing American
colours. Immediately she saw the English flag she dropped
astern. She was evidently well manned, as sail was re-
dud very smartly.

dealer,NifuChurch -street, Mile-cnd New-town, 42,
Thomas SMith, carman, of 21, Princes-street, in the
same locality, 35,
and Edwin Turnbull, a lighter-
man, of 14, Sutton.strect, Commercial-road-east, 28,
were brought before Mr. Woolrych for final exami-
nation and committal, charged with stealing ten
bales of China raw silk, the property of the St.
Katharine Dock Company. •
,
In May last John Newton, silk throwster at Derby;
Peter Debock, silk manufacturer in Spitalfields ;
Joseph Barker, his brother-in-law, of Hope-street,
Bethnal-green ; and William Crane, porter in
the employ of Drakeford and Co., silk mercers
in the city, were committed in May last for being
concerned in the robbery. On the trial three
of the prisoners were acquitted, but Deboek was
found guilty and sentenced to 18 months' imprison-
ment, with hard labour. Three £lOO-notes, talc( n
from Debcck by the D.2.rby police when he was
arrested in that town, were subsequently restored to
Newton, who had paid them to two London publi-
cans named Agg, and Hunter when he purchased
the stolen silk which was found in his mill. New-
ton had also given them a check for £220. A reward
was .ofiered by the St. Katharine Dock Company
for the apprehension of Agg and Hunter, who had
absconded directly after Messrs. Hilton and Fearn,
of the Derby police, arrived in London. On Nov. 6
last Hunter, after a long investigation, was liberated
on substantial bail. The prisoners Turnbull, Gil-
leth, and Smith were apprehended by Mr. Mum-
ford, superintendent of the St. Katharine Dock
police, and Donoway, a detective of the II division,
la few days after Hunter surrendered. Hunter was
admitted to bail at the conclusion of several succes-
sive investigations until Tuesday, the 3d inst., when
Mr. Humphreys, jun., appetizing for the i 0Seell"
tion, Complained that an attempt had" been made to
tiborn Mr. Hilton. superintendent of the Derby
police, to commit perjury, and " make his evidence
light against Hunter," by a person named-Robert
Gifford, assistant relieving officer of Mile-end Old-
town. The matter was investigated, and Hunter
was colmnitted* prison. On the 11th inst., when
the prisoners were again brought up, Mr. Metcalf,
on behalf of Gifford, said his conduct would be in-
quired into by the Poor-law Board. Mr. Leech
tendered bail for Hunter to the amount of £B,OOO,
and said some of the first merchants in the city of
London were ready to become surety for him. Mr.
Woolrych refused to take any amount of bail, and
Hunter was again remanded with the other prisoners
until yesterday. The two principal offenders, Frede-
rick Chas. Agg, formerly landlord of the Clown,
opposite Sadler's Wells Theatre, and Thos. Turn-
bull, brother of the prisoner Edwin Turnbull, are
still at large. The principal witness against the
exhibition of the three £lOO notes he received in
prisoners was Debock, the convict, whose foolish

part payment for the stolen silk fortunately led to
his apprehension in Derby, his conviction, and the
exposure of the whole plot. The silk in question
was stolen from a barge called the Dorville, on the
Thames, on the night of the 13th or early on the
morning of the 14th of March last. The Dorville
received 411 bales of silk from the ship Solcnt, is
the West India Dock, on the afternoon of the 13th
of March. The former vessel;was removed into the
St. Katharine's Dock on the following day, and on
the hatches being opened ten bales of silk, valued at
£l,OOO, were missing. The robbery was committed
between the two docks, and it is supposed that the
Customs' lock was tampered with, and the ten
bales of silk were removed from the barge into a
punt called the Robert. The punt was stolen on
the night the Dorville was laden with the silk, and
after having been used by the thieves to carry out
the robbery was sent adrift on the Thames, and was
found three or four days afterwards close to the
entrance of the Grand Surrey Canal Dock, at
Rotherhithe. The stolen silk was landed and put
into a cart, which found its way. ,to the Kingsland-
road, Shoreditch, as early as grven o'clock on the
morning of the 14th of March,' tfild Debock, the two
Turnbulls, Gillett, and another nian, met at a pub--
lie-house, while a horse and cart Which had been
driven to that place with the silk remained out-
side. The Turnbulls, Debock, and Gillett, after
taking a glass of brandy at this public-house, went
to another, opposite Shoreditch Church, where they
had more brandy. They there discussed the sale
and concealment of the silk, which was taken on
the same day to Smith's yard and weighed. It was
afterwards removed to and concealed in Barker's
house, in Hop-street, Bethnal-green, for threo
days. While there the original covers were removed
by Crane, of hers substituted, and initials and devices
placed on them by the same person, and the silk
taken away on the night of the 18th of March in
ono of Pickfot d's vans, hired by Crane, to the goode
station of the North London Railway, and sent away
the same night by railway to Derby, where the
whole of it was found in Newton's mill. Debock
entered into the particulars of his interviews and
negotiations with the prisoners Agg and Thomas
Turnbull; his journey to Derby in the same train
with Agg, Hunter, and Newton ; his receipt of ree
£lOO notes at the hotel in D.,rby from Hunter in tLc
presence of Agg; his arrest by the Derby police
with the notes in his possession, and his subsequent
conviction at the Central Criminal Court. The ar-
rangement he made with the Turnbulls and Gillett
was to sell the silk for Os. per pound and ls. more vs
commission. He paid Thomas Turnbull 50 sove-
reign on account after the silk was stolen and before
it was removed to Derby. He borrowed the money
of Mr. Angell, his solicitor, on the security of some
title deeds he deposited with him. He never recovered
his money from the thieves. Debock was severely
cross-examined by Mr. Leech, and involved himself
in many contradictions. His statement of his own
guilt, and the interviews with Agg, Hunter, Thomas
Turnbull, and others were contrasted with his decla-
rations and protestations of innocence in the Central
Criminal Court. He admitted that he suspected
the silk was stolen when he was negotiating for the
purchase of it from the Turnbulls and Gillett and
the sale of it to Agg and Hunter. He denied that
any hope had been held out to him that his sentence
would be remitted or his imprisonment reduced for
the evidence he gave. His testimony was confirmed
in many of the leading particulars by Barker and
Crane, who were tried and acquitted. It was also
supported by people from Derby, who saw him
there with Agg and Hunter on the 19th of March,
by his own servant, by several p Irsons who
saw him in company with the Turnbulls, Agg,
Hunter, and Gillett, on the 15th of March and
three following days; and, lastly, by Mr. Angell,
solicitor, of Basinghall-street, who deposed to lend-
ing his client £5O on the 15th of March, and pro-
duced the cheque which he gave to Debock for
the amount required, and for which Debock received
£5O at the Union Bank of London, where Mr.
Angell keeps an account.
Mr. Hilton gave evidence of a long conversation
I with Hunter at the Red Deer on the 20th of March
last. Hunter then admitted that he and Agg had
sold a large quantity of silk to Newton and had
received a cheque for £220 in part payment.
Mr. Humphreys, jun., asked that all the wit-
nesses should be bound over in the usual recogni-
zances to appear and give evidence at the Central
Criminal Court to which the magistrate acceded.
Mr. Woolrych refused to take bail for Hunter,
and said he should require substantial sureties for
the other prisoners.
The prisoners were then committed for trial, Mr.
Stoddart tendering bail for Smith, which wes
accepted.

THE SUN.
LONDON, THURSDAY, DEC. 19, 1861.

Again Mr. COBDEN comes pestering us with his
preposterous panacea of Arbitration. And under
such circumstances, too—at a moment so ridi-
culously inopportune. Here has a war-ship
of the Federal Government at 'Washington
waylaid an English vessel on the high seas,
an unarmed vesssel, bearing the Royal Mail
bags, under the guardianship of an officer
in the Royal Navy—the vessel of a Neutral Power,
carrying at the masthead the National Flag of
England ! Here has the Federal Government's war-
ship, the San Jacinto, intercepted the English
Mail Packet the Trent, compelling her to lay to,
first of all by firing a cannon-ball across her bows,
and afterwards by discharging in her direction a
shell that exploded close beside her—boarding her
with a party of marines with fixed bayonets—for-
cibly taking prisoners four of her passengers—
dragging them from under the presumed
shelter of the Union Jack, with every token of
insolent determination and deliberate indignity !
Here has been perpetrated an outrage of this flagrant
character—without provocation—to a Neutral
Power, and that neutral Power the Old Mother
Country, from which the American citizens, both
of the North and the South, have alike emanated !
And Mr. COBDEN coolly talks to us—while we are
yet waiting for an answer to our demands—about
Arbitration ! One would really imagine—judging
from Mr. BRIGHT'S last speech, and from Mr.
COBDEN'S last letter--one would really imagine
that England in this matter had been the
aggressor ! That it was a war vessel
of England that had stopped a mail steamer
ofher
tot byhe States upon the Atlantic—brought
shot and shell—boarded lax through the
agency of a boat's crew, bearing among them a party
of marines with fixed bayonets—and carried away
from her by main force; from under the shelter of
the stars and stripes floating at her masthead, three
or four unarmed civilians found on board of her as
passengers ! One would be disposed to regard the
matter really as standing thus if we were to listen
only to Mr. BRIGIIT or to read only Mr. COBDEN.
Never was there a more illogical absurdity than is
observable in either instance. Upon Mr. BRIGHT'S
(no doubt of it consistent) hallucination (but still
hallucination) we have already commented. Mr.
COBDEN'S "ditto to Mr. BURKE"—that is, to Mr.
BRIGHT—has more recently come to light: and to
the extraordinary document in which it is conveyed

to our ken we must now venture briefly to direct
our reader's attention. It is worth it. We can
promise that much—if only as the latest manifes-
tation of -what 21r. COBDEN himself calls upon
occasion, in one teLling monosyllable, and without
a moment's effort at courtly circumlocution, a

" craze."
It comes to us, this last astounding manifesto, or
pronunci orient° , in furtherance of the principle of
Arbitration, in the form of a quiet little modest
letter, dated " Midhurot, 16th December, 1861,"
and addressed to " Mr. HIT,NRY CATT," of Brighton,
as an apology for, or rather explanation of,
Mr. COBDEN'S non-attendance at a meeting
recently convened at Brighton, and to
which Mr. COBDEN had. been invited, a
meeting to enforce the necessity of Universal Arbi-
tration. Now, in the abstract, \ye are all, of course,
perfectly agreed as to the advise bility of always, if
possible, avoiding war, and of substituting bloodless
Arbitration for battle. When the inillenium arrives
only, however—certainly not Wore then—the
government of the world by Arbitration will be
securely established. The advocates of that su-
pernal system, however, argue already that the in-
auguration of such a policy is even now in every way
practicable. And how, in the name of common
sense, do they endeavour to demonstrate
its practicability ? Mr. COBDEN himself
' shall explain this in his own words, written
on the 16th inst. at Midhurst. Now observe, he
thus argues the point : " The object of all rational
men and true patriots at this moment," he bays,
" should be to enforce upon the Government that
principle of mediation or arbitration which was
proposed by the British Plenipotentiary and sanc-
tioned by the Congress of the Great Powers at
Paris in 1856. The protocols," he goes on to say,
" of the Conferences then held, which were laid
before Parliament at the time, but to which few
persons have now access, disclose to us the excel-
lent motives alleged by Lord CLARENDON for pro.
posing this ' happy innovation,' which he designed as
a barrier against conflicts which frequently only
break forth because it is not always possible to
enter into explanation and to come to an under-
standing." [The circumstances, observe, are so
peculiarly apt now —for the inculcation of these
most amiable ideas !] " The question thus in-
quired (writes Mr. COBDEN) in the name of the
British Government was solemnly debated, every
Plenipotentiary taking a part, and was adjourned
for two days to enable Count ORLOFF to obtain
the ' definitive adherence' of the Russian Govern-
ment, when the following declaration was unani-
mously agreed to :—' The Plenipotentiaries do not
hesitate to express, in the name of their Govern-
ments, the wish that States, between which any
serious misunderstanding may arise, should, before
appealing to arms, have recourse, as far as circum-
stances might allow, to the good offices of a friendly
Power." Having quoted which, Mr. COBDEN then
immediately goes on to remark as follows—" Now
is it possible," he asks, " that any case will ever
arise to which this principle of mediation can be
more applicable than the present ?" There is cer-
tainly nothing like making the most of your point
while you are about it. So, evidently thinks Mr.
COBDEN, And he writes therefore as we have seen.
An ordinary man would assuredly have been led by
the exercise of his common sense and by the use
of one or two of his senses, say, his sight and hear-
ing acting upon his name—an ordinary man, we
say, would in this manner have been led to exactly
the opposite conclusion to the one arrived at by
Mr. COBDEN in this particular. Why, the appeal
to arms has been made already—by the capture of
the San Jacinto ! And if Mr. COBDEN must needs►
in spite of that, still talk of Arbitration—he had
surely better address himself to the Federal Go-
vernment than to the British Government. So
soon as the civilians who were forcibly taken from
the deck of a British vessel, from under the shelter
of the flag of England, shall have been restored to
us with apologies for their capture and detention
—then Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BRIGHT and other
Quakers and day-dreamers, who live in a fool's
Paradise of imaginary arbitration, dreaming their
dreams to the occasional tune of rifle and howitzer,
may talk to their heart's content again about the
universal applicability of arbitration ! What Eng-
land looks for as the one essential preliminary to
arbitration is, the release of Messrs. SLIDELL and
MASON and their Secretaries. When those gentle-
men are again under the shadow of our recently
outraged flag, then, but not sooner, can we really
talk once more about Arbitration.

Mr. BUXTON is followed by the Society of
Friends in the endeavour to gain acceptance for the
Arbitration Scheme in the threatened difference
between England and America. We noticed Mr.
BUXTON'S proposal at the time, nor do we see that
the Friends have added much that is material to
his arguments. Indeed Mr. BUXTON himself,
though not technically one of the Society of Friends,
may, from his connections, be understood as speak-
ing their views. In all that can be said of the re-
lations of England to America,—those of race,
language, religion, and free institutions, especially,
we all concur ; they are almost truisms ; and the
obvious deduction, that it is disgraceful for
nations so related to plunge into 'what is almost a
fratricidal war, islittle more than a truism also. In
England these considerations arerealised to the full;
were they felt as much in America there would be no
difficulty at all. The truth is we have, since the
last war, made almost an ABSALOM of the United
States; we have denied them nothing; they have
had their way 'with the parent country, till the
danger of war arises, not from the unbendingness
of the parent, but from the ungrateful ambition of
its offspring. We have yielded every thing fer
peace ; they have done every thing to provoke war.
Had any one of the great European States treated
England as America has treated her we should
have had war with it long ago.
Hence a conviction has grown up in our minds
that we must begin, in the interests of peace
itself, to treat America as we do other countries.
We perceive that over indulgence of young na-
tions, as of young men, may produce the very
opposite effects to those at which we aim—that
instead of soon finding out that lawlessness must
be followed by soberer habits, the young country
retains its swagger, its bluster, its rude encroach-
ments on the respect due to other nations, till a
check must at last be put upon all this, It will
not do for Americans more than any other peo-
ple, to think that they will be tolerated in taking
what liberties they please with others. The time
has come, that they should take on themselves
the conduct, with the power and responsibility, of
natural manhood. England begins to feel that
there is more prospect of lusting peace, if she
gives the vast mob of the North to understand,
that she will put up with no more such tricks as
these demagogues have played at her expense.
We have again and -again acknowledged
that America has ass redly a large and
better class who regret, and even detest, all
this rude swagger of the politicians ;
but as this class cannot pu
t down
bullies, this last and preat rrainan its
t class

not do for England hey .ceforth to show a for-
