RETIREMENT OF MR. TEN BROECK.—The retirement
from the Turf of Mr. Ten Broeck was one of the leading
topics of conversation at Newmarket during the recent
meeting, and one universal feeling of regret was expressed
that so spirited and straightforward a sportsman should
have met with such an extraordinary succession of reverses,
against which he has borne up with the most unflinching
pluck. Severe losses in one of the Southern States of
America, where Mr. Ten Broeck's property is situated, is
said to be the immediate cause of this step ; and his stud,
on dit, will brought to the hammer after Goodwood. Mr.
Ten Broeck has refused £1,500 for Optimist, whose price,
we hear, is £2,ooo.—Era.

AscoT.—The following are the particulars of the new
race, appropriately named after the heir to the Throne, for
Three-yr-olds, with 500 sovs added, referred to in our re-
port of the late meeting, which together with several other

Yesterday the competition for the prizes at
Wimbledon was resumed under much more favour-
able auspices than those which dimmed the eclat of
the opening. The weather, though by no means
what was wished for careful shooting, was at least
tolerably dry in the early part of the day, and quite
fine in the afternoon. The wind, however, was still
much too strong, and, as before, blew directly across
the ranges. So violent were the gusts before the
shooting commenced that the new Swiss target was
quite blown down, and all practice at this was
therefore at an end. Owing to part of the pro-
gramme on the previous day having been inter
rupted by the rain, the first stage of shooting for
the Queen's Prize, at 200 yards, had to be got
through before the regular business commenced.
The result of the scores here showed at once how
much the weather had told against competitors at
the beginning. The average of the shooting was
decidedly higer. There were no numbers made as
high as that of Mr. Dickens, marking 13 ; but there
was one 12 and several nines and tens, while all
below those numbers showed good averages. The
names of those who marked 8 and upwards are as
follows : _ _

After this the competitors proceeded to shoot for
what may almost be called the second stage of the
same prize at 500 yards, and the Riflemen for the
first stage of the Prince of Wales's Prize, at 200
yards, began their practice. In this last-named
preliminary contest yesterday the shooting was
very good, and excited the surprise of every one.
Mr. Ross scored 12, one of the highest scores made,
and some of the Volunteer competitors gave in a
written protest to the Council against this number
being allowed, on the ground that Mr. Ross's
father had always loaded his rifle for him. This
was raising a novel point. Of course, every rifle-
man knows the advantage of having some one to
load his weapon while the competitor remains
quiet, and scans an imaginary line along the ground
over which he has to fire, but the fact of thus hav-
ing an assistant has never yet been attempted, and
therefore never formally forbidden. On the face of
it, however, it is a departure from the rules under
which the other Volunteers compete, and it is likely
that the score will be disallowed, and Mr. Ross
obliged to fire again. With more favourable wea-
ther he may even be a gainer by a fresh chance.
The attendance of visitors yesterday was of course
more numerous, and towards the afternoon there
was a very fair muster of equestrians. An errone-
ous impression seems to have got abroad, that the
admission to the grounds is 2s. 6c1., which we have
been requested to correct. The entrance fee is only
ls , even on the day fixed for the distribution of
prizes and grand review.
Yesterday the Exhibition tent was opened for
the display of cups and salvers of every price, from
wy may select to.

exhibitors were Mr. Hancock, Messrs. Elkington,
Mr. Garrard, and Mr. Angell, and the objects they
Put forward made a really superb display. Messrs.
Elkington showed for the first time Lord
Ashburton's prize, to be competed for by the
public schools which have enrolled corps. This
is an exquisite copy of the Cellini shield,
for the reproduction of which in electro•
type Messrs. Elkington deserve the praise
of all true lovers of art. In Lord Ashburton's
prize, the shield has been electrotyped in solid
silver, and, though this is not the best medium for
showing off the great Florentine's exquisite chas-
ings and damascene work, it nevertheless makes a
noble trophy. It is almost a pity that this prize is
practically unattainable by any school at all. It
is a challenge prize which the winners can only
hold till defeated. It would stimulate the schools
to far greater excellence if it became the property
of that one which held it against all comers for
three years consecutively. The chief favourites for
the Queen's Prize in this display were a magnifi-
cent cup from Hancock's, and a salver from El-
kitigton's. Both these are perfect chef-d'ceuvres,
and cost, we are told, in their manufacture, up-
wards of £lOO above the price of the prize they
represent—namely, £250. The cup offered by the
Rifle Association is also an exquisite work, and
among the other prizes both Mr. Garrard and Mr.
Angell show same beautiful little salvers and tazzas.
During to-day the shooting for the first stage of
the Queen's Prize, the All Corners' Prize, and that
given by the Prince of Wales will be continued.
As Saturday is, par excellence, the Volunteers' day,
a large muster is expected. During all yesterday
the pool targets were as numerously attended as
ever, and we hope that there is now some prospect
of the Association not being such very heavy losers
as they were by the inaugural meeting of last year.
The following are the names and scores of those
gentlemen who yesterday marked eight and up-
wards for the Prince of

RICHARDES V. RICHARDES and JONES.
Cornelius Richardes prayed for a dissolution of
his marriage with Augusta Harriett Richardes on
the ground of her adultery with Richard Jenkins
Jones, and claimed £3,000 damages from the co-
respondent. Mrs. Richardes pleaded a denial of
the adultery, and recriminatory charges of adultery
and cruelty. The co-respondent also denied the
adultery, and alleged that the respondent was
obliged to separate from the petitioner by reason of
his cruelty, and that he did not allow her sufficient
means of support. The petitioner denied these
allegations, and further pleaded that his cruelty, if
committed, had been condoned.

Mr. Sergeant Shee, Mr. Sergeant Atkinson,
Mr. Powell, and Mr. A. Staveley Hill were coun-
sel for the petitioner; Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and
Dr. Spinks, for the respondent; and Mr. Hawkins,
Q.C., and Mr. Prideaux for the co-respondent.
Mr. Sergeant Shee said the petitioner was a lieu-
tenant in a regiment of native infantry in India.
In May, 1854, he was married at Allahabad to the
respondent, the daughter of Col. Sewell. He was
then 21, and she was 19 years of age. After remain-
ing in India for a few months, they returned to
England on account of his health, and arrived in
March, 1855. They stayed for a short time at the
house of his mother in Penglais, in Cardiganshire,
and then went to lodge at Aberystwith. They
lived there together until January, 1857, when, in
consequence of a disagreement, which Lieutenant
Richardes imputed to her unfounded jealousy of a
married lady living in the town, a deed of separa-
tion was executed, under which they lived apart
for about two months. In March, 1857, one of her
children who had remained with her husband at
Aberystwith was taken ill : she went to see it, a
reconciliation took place, and they lived together
until December, 1857. He was then ordered to re- ,
turn to India; they came to London together, she
saw him off from Gravesend, and they parted on
affectionate terms. They had two children—one
born on their voyage home from India, and the
other in April, 1856. After his return to India she
went back to:live atAberystwith, and out of his pay
of £l6O a-year he allowed her £lO7 for her main-
tenance during his absence. She was visited by Mr.
Jones, a young man about 25 years old, the son of
a wealthy shipowner and rope manufacturer. Evi-
dence would be given which would leave no doubt
that she had committed adultery with this young
man, and that in April, 1859, she went to London in
a state of pregnancy, stayed about two months, and
after her return had a child brought to her. Lieut.
Richardes returned to England in December, 1858,
and went to Aberystwith to see his wife. For a
long time she positively refused to see him ; but at
last they had an interview, at which she said that
she would never live with him again.
Dr. Butler, who proved the marriage, said that
the petitioner was an ensign at the time. He did
not know that the petitioner was deeply involved
in debt.

Capt. Fearon, who had come in the same vessel
with Lieut. and Mrs. Richardes from India, proved
that his conduct to her was kind and attentive.
Cross-examined—There was a disturbance be-

tween Lieutenant Richardes. and the captain of the
vessel, and the captain asked him to give up his
sword. He broke his sword, He was told to keep in
his cabin, and a sailor was put at the door to pre-
vent him from getting out. I forget what the dis-
turbance with the captain was about. Certainly it
was not because the captain had interfered to pro-

tect Mrs. Richardes. I do not remembet Lieut.
Richardes abusing his wife after she had played at
cribbage with me. I never saw him strike her. I
am not aware that her clothes were left in pledge
by Lieut. Richardes for the payment of my passage-
money. I had not enough to cover the passage-
money, and the difference was remitted to the cap-
tain soon after my arrival.
Mrs. Brookes, the petitioner's sister, proved that
during his residence with his wife at Penglais and
Aberystwith his behaviour to her was kind and
affectionate. She was not affectionate to him. In
January, 1858, he went to India, and she returned
to Aberystwith.

In cross-examination Mrs. Brookes said that a
great many words passed between her brother and
his wife about things of no consequence. A great
many questions were put to the witness about Lieut.
Richard's intimacy with various ladies, married
and unmarried, whose names were mentioned, living
at Aberystwith. She did not know anything about
a placard put up at the Assembly Rooms about
Lieut. Richardes's behaviour towards a married
lady. Several letters, addressed to a Miss Lizzie
Davis, a girl of 16, at school, were put into Mrs.
Brookes's hand, and after a great deal of hesitation
she admitted that she believed they were in Lieut.
Richardes's handwriting. She did not know that
he ever went by the name of" Slyeyes."
Mrs. Turner, who had lived next door to the
Richardeses at Aberystwith, and had often visited
them, said that his conduct to her was always kind,
and that her conduct to him was anything but kind.
She was present one day when he accused Mrs.
Richardes of having picked at his eyes with her
scissors, and she did not deny it.
Cross-examined—She made his home very uncom-
fortable, but I do not think she was jealous. She
had a squabble with an unmarried lady on the ter-
race, but I don't remember what it was about. I
have some little recollection of Mrs. Richardes
threatening to write to the lady's father, and of the
lady crying and asking her not to do it. That lady
and Lieutenant Richardes used sometimes to come
to my house like other persons. There is a bed-
room on the same floor as the drawing-room. I onie
day saw her and Lieutenant Richardes in that bed-
room. The door was not locked, for I tried it and

opened it. They came out within half a minute
afterwards. I went into the drawing-room, and
they went downstairs. I had seen them go in. I
did not ask what they were going to do. I did not

trouble my head about it. v They were not two
minutes in the bedroom. I frequently went to the
apartments of Lieutenant and Mrs. Richardes, in
consequence of their quarrels. I once went into their
nursery, and found Mrs. Richardes with her hand
on her husband's throat, and he was nearly black in
the face. I do not know what the quarrel was
about.

Mrs. Griffiths, the landlady of a house at Aberys-
twith where Lieutenant and Mrs. Richardes had
lodged, from September, 1855, to March,lBs6, stated
that his conduct was very kind, and hers was very
aggravating.
Mary Dowton had lived in the service of Lieu-
tenant and Mrs. Richardes for five years, and said

that he behaved well to her, and that she was " a
horrid temper." She abused him very much, and
used very bad language, She once nearly choked
him. The witness removed her hand from his col-
lar, and she struck her in the face. After Lieut.
Richardes went to India Mr. Jones frequently visited
Mrs. Richardes. He supped with her, and he went
into her bedroom when she was in bed. The wit-
ness remcnstrated with Mrs. Richardes about her
conduct with Mr. Jones, and she sometimes cried bit-
terly and sometimes said she did not care. When
she received a letter from her husband announcing
his return, and asking her to meet him in London,
she said, in the presence of Mr. Jones, that she
could not deceive her husband and live with him
again, and that she was three months gone with
child. When Lieut. Richardes came to her house
after his return she refused to see him. She went to
London in May, 1859, to be confined, and came back
in a very bad state of health in June. She used to
be jealous of her husband if he spoke to a lady in
the middle of the street.
Margaret Williams, with whom Mrs. Richardes
had lodged after her return from London, proved
that Mr. Jones used to visit her frequently and stay
with her till two or three in the morning. She had
a child nine or ten weeks old with her, which Mr.
Jones sometimes nursed. Witness once told Mr.
Jones, as he was nursing it, that it was very like
its father.
Mr. Huddleston submitted to the jury that, what-
ever might be the guilt of Mrs. Richardes, her hus-
band was chiefly to blame for it. Ile had treated
her habitual cruelty, unkindness, and neglect from
the hour of the marriage. In addition to this, he
had been guilty of repeated acts of adultery withl a
number of women. Some letters which he had
written to Lizzie Davis, a child at school, not more
that 16 years old, who was the sister of his brother-
in-law, had been handed by her guardian w the
respondent, and would be put in evidence. The
learned counsel read some of these letters, addressed.
to " My dearest Lizzie," and written in very affec-
tionate terms. He called her " his dearest pet,"
made appointments with her, said he would keep
his promise to her as soon as he was at liberty to
do so, and signed himself " Her own loving hus-
band, Richardes," or " Poor old Slyeyes." These
letters were written while the suit was pending.
Mr. Hawkins addressed the jury in mitigation
of damages. The co-respondent had been guilty of
no breach of confidence or hospitality, but had been
tempted to do neglect b the attractious of a
woman who had beend and ill-treated by

her husband; and the husband had sustained no
loss, but had contributed to his wife's misconduct
by his own cruelty and heartlessness. If "poor
old Sly eyes" was entitled to any damages at all,
one farthing would amply compensate him for his
loss, and should the jury return a verdict for that
amount, he should be presented with one of tbe
brightest coins that could be obtained, and he might
attach it to his bundle of charms, and keep it well
polished, as a souvenir of his suit in the Divorce
Court. (Laughter.)
Colonel Sewell, of the 25th Bengal Native In-
fantry, the respondent's father, stated that before
marriage the petitioner was all mildness and gen-
tlemanly behaviour, but he was quite the contrary
after marriage. He was then overbearing and
hasty in temper, and used abusive language to his
wife.
Several men were then called, who stated that
they had seen Lieutenant Richardes commit adultery
at various places in Aberystwith and the neigh-
bourhood, in the open air, in 1859 and 1860, with
two girls named Thomas and Penrose.
The Court adjourned before the conclusion of the
respondent's case.

bythe
Southern Provinces. Brigandage in the Neapolitan
and Roman provinces is an evil of old standing,
never radically cured, however latent. The Papal
and Bourbon Government strove to hide, and even
boldly to deny its existence, but never succeeded,
and seldom even attempted thoroughly to extirpate
it. That this indigenous plague of the country,
which will only yield to the efforts of a free and
provident Government, should burst forth with
redoubled virulence at the time of a great national
crisis, and should, to a great extent, thwart the
endeavours of the newly-installed rulers, is what all
rational men must find natural, what all clear-
sighted people must have foreseen. The present is
the inevitable consequence of the past.
Those who saw the thousands and tens of thou-
sands of Bourbon soldiers ignominiously fly before
a handful of Garibaldi's volunteers at San Giovanni,
Soveria, and in a hundred fields—those who saw
those disbanded soldiers, unarmed, ragged, half-
starved, marching side by side with their victors,
scowling sullenly at them all the time they raised
their querulous voices to solicit alms and to beg
half their hard crust, never entertained the least
doubt that many, if not all, of those fugitives would,
at no distant day, have t 3 be hunted down as rob-
bers and murderers. Garibaldi could not put them
all to the sword—it would have been mercy to
their countrymen—and he had no ships to trans-
port them to distant colonies. What was for the
volunteer leader matter of necessity was for the
generals and rulers who followed him the result of
an unpardonable error; all the army of the Vol-
turno, the very garrisons of Capua and Gaeta were
let loose on the doomed country. Nearly the whole
Bourbon host (100,000 men strong) is now up in
arms, and a North Italian army is required to put
them down. It would be needless to disguise, or
even attempt to underrate the evil. But it would
be no less vain to describe it to disaffection on the
part of the Neapolitans, or describe them as ad-
verse to the new order of things, as hankering after
the old. The Neapolitans have as little to do with
the brigandage of their provinces as the natives of
Hindostan had with the great Sepoy rebellion. The
population is equally supine and helpless in both
countries. The question is entirely to be settled
between the native soldiers and those of the ruling
race. Real strife there is none, for wherever the
plume of the Piedmontese Caribineer or Bersagliere
is seen to wave, all riot is at an end, and order is
instantly re-established. But the Northern soldier
's not übiquitous, and whenever his back is turned
a band of yelling savages rushes forward, the feeble
National Guard is overpowered, a devoted village
or small town is stormed, and a scene of bloodshed
and plunder ensues, often aggravated by outrages
which baffle description.

It is very evident that the remedy will be found
the moment the Italian Government sends troops
in sufficient number to overrun the whole country.
This has now been resolved upon, and Cialdini will
be sent in command—a man fully able to restore
order in Naples, as Manhes did at the head of a
French army in 1812.
The disbanded troops of the late Sovereign, and
the malefactors by him let out of gaols and bagnios
as a last proof of his good .will towards his subjects,
if they are the elements of the disorder under
which those Southern provinces are labouring,
would be telerably powerless were it not for the
organization they receive from Rome. It is this
circumstance especially which stifles the feeling of
Italian gratitude towards the ruler of France, and
raises doubts as to the real honesty of his inten-
tions. "Is the Emperor Napoleon," they say,
" bent upon perpetuating the miseries of Italy ?
The French troops profess to protect the head of
the Catholic Church, but they actually uphold with
it permanent reaction in Italy ; brigands, enlisters
of brigands, priests and monks, stirrers up of fana-
tical rabble, arms, ammunitions, good and bad coin,
all that can be used to keep up in Southern Italy
the sacred fire' of Cardinal Ruffo, all is allowed to
get out from Rome, in broad daylight, under the
very nose of that much-vaunted, keen-scented,
French police, consequently with the full know-
ledge and consent of the French Emperor. Six
hundred brigands, armed and in full array, left
Rome the other day, bound on their atrocious
errand. The Pope is not so ill as he was described;
so long as he lives, he must live ; he must stay in
Rome, and with him the French, and with them
the Bourbon and his mischievous gold, and the
whole host of Royalists, Ultramontanists, and
enemies both of France and Italy, and of freedom
and civilization all the world over."
Yet the Italian Government receive every day
public and private assurances of the Emperor's
good-will, and of the earnest, constant interest he
takes in the Italian cause; and the present Italian
rulers, and the most reasonable Italian patriots,
still harbour an unshaken faith in Napoleon 111.,
and they trust that he will take himself and his
soldiers out of Rome "in his own good time."
Truly it would puzzle a keener man than the
keenest Italian citizen or statesman to make out
the reasons which advise the Emperor, under pre-
sent circumstances, to tarry at Rome. He alleges
the strong Catholic feeling in France, the exhibi-
tion of it in the two Houses of the French Parlia-
ment—an exhibition most gratuitously provoked
by himself. But he has the assurance of the whole
press, if we except the Montle and Union, he has
the free declaration of the most respectable part of
the Catholic people in England and Belgium, no
less than in Italy, that nothing could be more bene-
ficial to the purity and efficacy of the Roman reli-
gionf than to free the Church from the trammels of
temporal power, and to build it on that rock of
spontaneous persuasion which alone
Twaould give it

unbounded moral ascendancy.
reign papacy from it," they say," and you have a
Wormed Catholicism, safe against all encroach-
ments of dogmatic Protestantism. It was an
original sin of the Church of Rome to create a Pope-
King ; but now the Vicar of Christ Tm. has ceased to

territory are gone; the rest he holds at the beck of
a foreign master. Let him drop the Crown alto-

will be a true Pontiff."
But, " admitting even," they continue, "that

committed in 1849—admitting that he is under

rag of a regal mantle of which he lent a hand to cut
