notwithstanding the difficulties which have been
created abroad by the conflict of extreme situa-
tions, we have not abandoned any of the opposed
interests it was necessary to protect. My policy
will always be firm, loyal, and without any after-
thought.

future, for which I thank you."

NEWTON V. NEWTON AND COOKE.

This was the petition of James Simeon Newton,
an estate agent, at Manchester, praying for a di-
vorce by reason of his wife's adultery with the co-
respondent, a commercial traveller, who also
resided in Manchester. The respondent did not
appear, but the co-respondent denied the adultery,
and pleaded further that prior to the time when
the alleged intercourse took place the respondent
had prostituted herself with other men, of which
the petitioner was cognisant and connived at, and
that he had treated her with great cruelty.
Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and another learned gen-
tleman were counsel for the petitioner, and Mr.
Brett, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks for the co-respondent.
The evidence for the petitioner was to the effect
that he had married the respondent in 1855, and
that they cohabited till 1858, but had no children.
lii the April of the latter year the alleged criminal
intercourse commenced, and the respondent took a
small house in Lower Chatham-street, Shelford-
road, near Manchester, and subsequently in another
suburb, where she was visited by the co-respon-
dent. The evidence in support of the adultery
as conclusive, and one of the witnesses stated
that the respondent expressed to her her preference
of Cooke to her husband. For the defence some
acts of great violence on the part of the petitioner
were deposed to.
The jury found a verdict for the petitioner, with
one farthing damages, and added that though he
had been guilty of acts of ill-treatment, his con-
duct was not of a character to force the respondent
into acts of adultery as was pleaded.
Dr. Phillimore applied for an immediate decree,
which the learned judge refused, and commented
on the brutal conduct of the petitioner, which had
been proved in evidence.

SPORTING LIVTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER, FRIDAY.

There was very little speculation on the Liverpool
Spring Cup. 7to 1 was offered against North Lancashire,
and a little money was put on The Prophet and Birming-
ham at 12 to 1 each.—For the Grand National Steeple-
chase, 6 to 1 was taken about Jealousy, and 8 to 1 Master
Bagot. The Emperor, Anatis, and Freshman would have
been supported, but the backers declined 10 to 1 each,
which was the highest offer, excepting 12 to 1 which was
laid against Anatis once. A slight demonstration being
made against ;Old Ben Roe, offers against him became
very plentiful, the highest price we saw laid being 300 to
1.5, but at the finish 100 to 7 was the highest offer. 4to 1
was taken about Dundee for the Derby. For the Two
Thousand Guineas, 6 to 1 was offered on the field, but
nothing was done requiring special notice.

hardware, besides other manufactures. The Senate'
evidently did not relish the Bill, and made, it is
said, 150 amendments, and hope has been
expressed that these will have delayed its
'progress till it may not get through this
session. We trust it may prove to be so, since a
more suicidal policy on the part of the North ;
one more calculated to justify the South in seced-
ing, and to dispose other countries to recognise the
new confederation, wnich will almost certainly
adopt the opposite policy, can hardly be conceived.
The Anti-President of the Southern convention,
who has contrived to be inaugurated first, proclaims
for the new confederation a policy decidedly the
reverse of that of the MORRILL Tariff. He says :
—" As an agricultural people, whose chief interest
is the export of a commodity required in every
manufacturing country, our true policy is—peace
and the freest trade which our necessities will per-
mit." He tells them that it is the interest of
the States, and of those from whom they
would buy and to whom they would sell,
that there should be "the fewest practi-
cable restrictions upon the interchange of com-
modities." Thus Free-trade doctrines are as natural
to the South as the selfish code of Protection is to
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Assuredly Eng-
land does not wish to see the breaking up of
the Union; but if the North perseveres in the mad
policy of driving our merchants and manufacturers
from its doors, and the South adopts the reverse one
of making them welcome, who can say whether,
slavery notwithstanding, English trade and capital
may not flow to the South and desert the North.
We expect much from the firmness of Mr. LINCOLN,
and the two internal slave States of Tenessee and
Arkansas already seem to have responded to it by
voting for the Union, and the border States by
their hesitation ; but the North must renounce
commercial hostility to the Southern States and to
England, if it would not place itself in a false posi-
tion.

No sophistry can convince the public that a tax
on Insurance does not comprise all the worst vices
of a tax. If a tax on luxuries, especially on
demoralizing luxuries like spirits, be cheerfully
acquiesced in, because self-indulgence is a fair
subject for a tax, and because ♦ice ought, if
possible, to be met with the check of costliness,
then Fire Insurance, and indeed every kind of
insurance, ought to be untaxed. Insurance is
prudence, not indulgence; it springs from the
virtues which create and protect the capital and
industry of the country, not from vice. Yet, as
Insurance taxes now stand, they are a penalty on
prudence, and a premium on recklessness. The
man who will risk his property—property,
too, perhaps, which, if destroyed, will
cause loss to his creditors also, saves the tax.
The man who, for a yearly payment, takes secu-
rity for himself and creditors against what may or
may not happen, pays the Government from fifty
to two hundred per cent. for his prudence and
honesty.

THE DECREE OF AMNESTY IN THE
NEAPOLITAN STATES.

On the day before his departure for Turin Vic-
tor Emmanuel signed the following decree :
" Considering that the, political sentences passed
in the Neapolitan and Sicilian provinces, from May
15, 1848, to June 25, 1860, were repugnant no less
to the public right solemnly sanctioned in the king-
dom than to the statutes and laws established and
valid in it.

" Considering in consequence that it was neither
suitable nor just that the pains and punishments
pronounced in the aforesaid sentences, offending as
they did the laws and public conscience, should
still preserve a trace of their presence in the con-
dition of the citizens, and under a free Government
should be able on any pretext whatsoever to be
cited for creating any special detriment or other
consequences depending on or occasioned by the
said judgments :

" On the proposition of our Keeper of the Seals,
Ministers of Grace and Justice and Ecclesiastical
Affairs, the King has ordered that the sentences
for political crimes passed in the Neapolitan or
Sicilian provinces, from May 15, 1848, to June 15,
1860, shall be considered null and void as regards
forfeiture and pains, and the interdiction of civil or
'political rights, and also all the consequences
indicated in the 17th article of the penal laws
'valid in the said provinces.

7ILE LOSS OF TILE GOLDEN STAR.

We have already given some particulars of the
loss of the ship Golden Star, 1,198 tons, and the
melancholy fate of the captain, his wife, and most
of the crew, near Bannow Bay. The following
statement of one of the survivors, the chief officer,
made to the receiver of wreck for the district, and
which has been forwarded to the Board of Trade,
furnishes the full details of the catastrophe :
" The Golden Star, under the command of Capt.
Stapleton, with a cargo of 3,750 bales of cotton
(which is insured in London), left Mobile on the
17th of last November, and proceeded satisfactorily
until the Bth of last month, when she encountered
very heavy gales, and these prevailed until the
26th and 27th, when calm weather succeeded. On
' the 28th, at six o'clock at night, the brig was bear-
ing up St. George's Channel, and at midnight lost
sight of the light of the Old Head of Kinsale. The
wind increasing all the light sails were taken in,
and at 8 o'clock the next morning the weather
became more boisterous, with very heavy sea. At
noon made the Conybeg light-ship, and found they
could not weather the shore. Orders were given to
lower the upper topsails, fore and main, but before
they could be carried out the lower fore and mizen
topsails were blown into shreds. The men were
called down, and attempts were made to make
Waterford. Heavy squalls with rain and fog
set in, which shut out all view of the land and
lights. They then hauled up courses and let go
both anchors, 80 fathoms of chain being paid out
to each anchor. Finding the anchors would not
hold, cut away the three masts, when she held on
till about 7 o'clock, and then parted. The ship
headed off to the northward and westward, when
a strong current setting in carried her in towards
Carnivan Head, where she struck on the rocks.
This took place about 10 o'clock; the ship struck
on the rocks stem foremost. They then tried to
send a line ashore to the people collected there,
but failed, as the current carried it along the beach.
A line was then thrown from the shore by a rocket,
which failed in reaching the ship, but they seemed
to believe it had, as they did not make any further
attempts to send a second. In about half an hour
afterwards the ship went to pieces. The captain,
his wife, stewardess, and 11 of the crew perished,
and the remainder of the crew, seven men, were
saved. Their escape was truly marvellous. When
the forward part of the ship broke away from the
stern portion it swung round and broke all to
pieces. The next two seas burst the starboard
t 200
side of the stern part of the ship open,
hanging on the rocks, and swept out 0.

ANOTHER VOTE OF WANT OF CONFI
DENCE PASSED.
STROUD, THURSDAY NIGHT.
A crowded meeting was held here to-night, for
the purpose of enabling Mr. Horsman a second time,
to address his constituents.
At the close of the right hon. gentleman's speech
a resolution was proposed, to the effect---" That this
meeting having heard Mr. Horsman's explanation
of his votes and speeches in the late session of Par-
liament, are decidedly of opinion that his views
and conduct are so much at variance with the
Liberal constituency of Stroud that he no longer
represents them in Parliament."
A warm discussion ensued. The majority for
the resolution was very large.
Mr. Horsman refused to resign.
