E-ssni ' s Divorce . —This house assembled at half-past fffo o'clock to hear further evidence in support of the secczd reading of" Bennett ' s Divorce" Bill . The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor , Lord Jrco ^ b-M ? Lord Effingham , Lord Monteagle , and Lord 5 : raa ? ford . As some time has elapsed since the former hearing , it ¦^;" il be necessary , in order to the reader ' s understanding t ; . e case , to recapitulate the outline of the matter ; - The petitioner , Mr . William Anthony Bariton Bennett , sought , ; , _ t ihe means of this bill , to be divorced from his wife , Mariaase Cohnore lionnett , to whom he was married on
t he loih of April , Ic 33 . Mrs . Eennetl ' s name was Crcgoe . jbe marriage was solemnised , according to the rites of the c hurch of "" England , at the parish church of Charlton ] i : a 2 S in the county of Gloucester . Two sons formed the ; .-5 ue of that marriage , aged respectively eighteen and f&ecn . The parties lived together after tho marriage , ini residing in the metropolis ) and afterwards in different arts of the continent . Mr . and Mrs . Bennett retried tog ether antillS 14 , occupying temporary residences , and : i : he autumn of that year the petitioner made ; irrangeuer . ts to go to Scotland on a shooting excursion , and ~ it was arranged that Mrs . Bennett , instead of taking any permanent residence , should pay . 1 visit to a friend who Iked :,- Hitchen , in the county of Ilertford . On her way to Ui-cJien Mrs . Bennett paid a visit to a Mrs . Farmer , at
XiiuiUch-parK , in the county of Suriey . It was with the maws : astonishment that the petitioner subsequently -. card of Mrs . Bennett ' s unexpected departure . The discovery having taken place , an intimate friend , Colonel Ernngton , was consulted by the petitioner . At the period Mr . Bennett set out for Scotland , he , together with his wife , » as residing at Worthing in the county of Sussex ; thence Jlrs . Bennett was to go to Nonsuch-park , and thence to prodfi to Hitchen on a visit to a relative , and she was to have regained at the last mentioned place until the return of the petitioner from his shooting excursion . Accompanied by Ler second child , Mrs . Bennett proceeded to Non 3 uch-park , which spot she quitted suddenly in the month of August , ISli , taking with her the child , carefully concealing her intended place of destination . The fact of her departure
having been communica'edto the petitioner , be at once commenced a ri gorous search with the view of discovering his wife . The petitioner was ass oted in this inquiry fay Colonel Ei rimrton and the police . Circumstances arose in the couno ofthe inquiry which caused the petitioner to suspect that Lis wifs Lad gone to the Continent ; bat considerable time was consumed in the search which he had set on foot before be could obtain the Jeast trace as to whither she had proceeded . At length , however , after the most diligent and persevering inquiries , a due wa 3 gained as to the coane Mrs . Bennett had taken , and , accordingly , Mr . Bennett first traced her to Lyons , and thence , by way of Marseilles and Genoa , into Italy . Mrs . Bennett had assumed the name of Birnard . From Jt aly the petitioner fallowed her to Spain , and on her arrival in that country he discovered that
she had adopted the name of Freeuuntle . Dating the mouth of December he found that his wife was living at Valencia , la consequence of this discovery he had an interne v with her , and urged her to return home , bat in that request he was not successful . At the time of her marriage a settlement of the interest of £ 5 , 000 to her own separate s ? e was made , therefore Mrs . Bennett was not without pecuniary means of her own . During the progress ofthe petit-oner ' s inquiry at Yalentia he ascertained that Mr . John Ha * iin § s Touchett , with whom , he arid his wife had been aciuainted while in England , was sojourning at the French Hotel at "V alencia , under the assumed name of Shirley , and it was this gentleman who was charged with the commission of adultery with Mrs . Bennett . At the time ofthe discovery of Mrs . Bennett at Valencia she was not residine in the
same home as that occupied by Mr . Touchett . The petitioner , having been supplied with the information that his Fife was acting under the advice of Mr . Touchett , asssaalted that gentleman ; in consequence he fell into the hands of the local authorities . It having been ascertained , however , that Mr . Touchett was travelling under an assumed name , he ws 3 ordered to leave the country . While the petitioner web s : ayiag at Valencia for the purpose of learning the course of his wife ' s conduct during her residence at that place he had be * n unable to obtain any information of facts sufficiently strong to warrant any accusation against her of adulteroug intercourse with Mr . Touchett . The petitioner renewed his iatreaties that hia wife would return home , but this she strenuously , as More , declined to do . lie then asked her to give up the child , but that she refused to do until he
consented to execute a deed of separation , and even then he had been obliged to threaten to invoke the aid of the authorities befjre she would give up the child . Having gained possession of the child , the petitioner returned to England , and the deed of separation was executed on the l-3 : h of May , 1810 . Mrs . Ifenncti after this quitted Valencia and proceeded to PaT . 3 , where , and at other parts of France , she continued to resiJe ; and although the petitioner entertained a suspicion that an adulterous intercourse subsisted between his wife and Mr . Touchett , he had not been able to obtain any positive information upon the subject until the month of August in the last year . Having heard from his son that his mother wa « going to return to England , it occurred to his mind that Mr . Touchett , whom he had noticed at the Reigate station , might be waiting to receive her as * he came up from Folkestone , on her route from Boulogne ; so , when he arrived at the next station hf . got out of the down train , and returned to Reigate by the nest up train . Oa arrivine at
Reigate . he ascertained that the gentleman he had described had received a lady who had alighted from the precedinc up train , and that they had gone on together to Horsham . Tbe petitioner followed , and he discovered that they had engaged apartments at the King ' s Head , though not as for man and wife . The petitioner placed a watch upon them , and in the course of that ni ght Mr . Touchett was observed to quit his own bedroom and enter that of Mrs . Bennett , whera he remained the whole ofthe night . Here , then , it wa * that an Edulterous intsreourie was committed , and from that period to the present time the petitioner had not had any communication whatever wi ! h hia wife . Oa the 29 h of August the petitioner brought an action against Mr . Touchett in the Court of Queen ' s Bench . The defendant allowed judgment to go by default , and -the damages were assessed at £ 500 . The damages had been paid , and the necessary proceedings were instituted in the Ecclesiastical Court , where a sentence of divorce a mensa ct thoro was pronounced on the 2 C : h of February la * t .
Farther evidence was heard , and the consideration thereof 8 . journed sine die .

This court commenced its sittings on Monday before the Right lion , the Lord 3 Iayor , the Right Hon . the Recorder . &c . Charge 0 ? Perjury . —Dr . Jabez Burns , a Baptist minister , surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment charging him with wilful and corrupt perjury . —Mr . Parry said the defendant , who was the minister ofEnon Chapel , Marylebonp , was in that capacity the successor of the Rev . Thomas Gwennap , who being possessed of property , charged his estate with an annual payment of £ 95 for purposes connected with the maintenance of the defendant ' s ministry , and various charities , appointing Dr . Burns and a Mr . Mekin trustees . By the law of mortmain , such a
deed of gift , to bo v ^ lid , should be executed twelve months before the death of the donor ; the gift , also , should be absolute , and pa ?? immediately to the party in whose favour it was made . When after the death of the donor his relatives became for the first time aware of the existence of such a deed , they applied to the Court of Chancery to set it aside , on the ground of fraud , as an evasion on the law of mortmain , it being contended that neither party intended the gift to pass at once , but it beinz understood between them that it w . 13 not to come into force until after the donor ' s death . The result of this appeal to ths Court of Chancery was that the defendant was called upon to answer certain interrogatories , and among others , one to ascertain whether any agreement wa 3 really made between him and the deceased that the provisions of the deed should
not be enforced until after Mr . Gwennap ' s death . To this interrogatory the defendant answered b y declaring that no such agreement was ever made , and it was upon this statement the present indictment for perjury was founded . — This was the case represented for tho prosecution . —An officer of the court of Chancery , produced the evidence of the defendant in that court , in which he denied the existence of any secret coilusive agreement between himself and the donor . —Mr . East , a deacon of defendant ' s chapel , read a document which he and defendant signed at tho house and in the presence of the late Mr . Gwennap , a memorandum in the text of which the defendant and witness admit that the deed conveying moneys to the defendant and witness for certain purposes has ' been devised to meet the legal difficulties arising out of the Mortmain Act , and that they perfectly understand that it is not to have effect during the donor ' s life—Mr . Ballantine , for the defence , contended that no evidence had been given to show
that when the deed was signed thero was any agreement that it should not bo enforced until after the death of the donor , and any arrangement made after signature might fairly be ascribed to the proper feeling of the trustees . — A great number of highly respectable witnesses were called to speak to the defendant ' s character . —The Recorder summed up the case with great clearness and impartiality , and the jury , after deliberate ? a short time in the box , expressed a wish to retire . —They returned in about a quarter of an hour and gave a verdict of Not Guilty . —Mr . Metcalf applied for the expenses ofthe prosecution . —The Recorder would require time to consider the application . The defendant had not been committed by a magistrate . On Tue 3 day a Mr . Bishop was tried at tho Old Bailey for a libel on Dr . Burns . The prosecution arose out of tho affair reported above . A nominal verdict was taken , and the Recorder declared that Dr . Burns left the court without the slightest stain on his character .
A Dasgerous Lover . —Stephen Tibbett , 6 ? , was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Edith Robinson , with intent to do her grievous bodily harm . —The prosecutrix , a good looking middle-aged woman , deposed that sho was a widow , and resided at No . 01 , Noble-street , St . Luke ' s . About nine months ago , the priaonerlapplied to her to know if she had any apartments to let , and she told him she had . And he then asked her if she was not a widow . She replied that she was , and wished to know why he made the inquiry ; and he said , " Because I am single , and you are a widow , and perhaps we may make up a match . " ( A laugh . ) Inconsequence of what the prisoner said on this occasion , she refused to let hi" ? come into her house as a lodger ; but one night , shortly afterwards , he forced his wav in .
and conducted himself in such a manner : nat she was obliged to have him turned out of the house , and after this he annoyed her so much that she was obliged to tell the people in the house not to allow him to come in . On the evening of the 22 nd of May she was standing at her door , when the prisoner came up to her , and exclaimed , "Now , Mrs . Robinson , you have been my ruin ; you , I'll do for you ; " and at the same moment he struck her a violent blow on the head with a hammer . Sho struggled with him , and wrenched tho hammer from his hand , and sho then heard hhn s » y he was sorry he had not completed it—The jury found the prisoner Guilty of the offence of unlawfully wounding , and he was sentenced to bo imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months .
Trial For Mdrdkr . —Guiseppe Remorino , an Italian , aged 20 , described as a sailor , and Emanuel Antola , another Italian , aged 22 , also described as a sailor , were indicted for the wilful murder of Thomas Murley . It appeared from the opening statement of the learned counsel for the prosecution , that somofew weeks ago , on a Sunday night , the 30 th of May , the two prisoners and tho deceased were at tho Three Crowns public-house , in East Smitiifield , when a row ensued . The prisoners were soon af terwards seen in the street , and another disturbance takin g place , the police came up and drove them away . It was late at night , but , nevertheless , after the police had disappeared Tenison returned to the court and joined the prisoners again . Thev renewed the previous quarrel , and Connelly once more interfered to get him away , but the prisoner Antola , who had armed himself with a poker , felled him to the ground , as ho was in the act of taking Tenison with boih arms round the waist . The deceased , Murley , who witnessed the terrible assault , rushed upon Antola , to prevent his repeating tho blowand while he
, was restraining him the other prisoner , R ? morino , advanced to tho spot , when Antola handed him a huge clasp-knife , which Remorino opened and deliberately st-tbbed the deceased in tho lower part of tho abdomen . The prisoner then decamped , while tbe deceased felt senseless to the ground . He was , however , taken up by some of his companions , and as he was found to be dreadfully bleeding from the wound which the knife had inflicted he was conveyed to the London Hospital , where he lingered for a few hours in great agony and then died . It would seem that all the parties were drunk at the timo of the occurrence , and in the early part of the night the deceased and one ofthe prisoners had a stand-up fight about some drink which had been given to a prostitute , and in the course of the encounter the prisoner received a severe punishment and black eye . —The Learned Judge summed up , when thejury , after deliberating for a short time , retired and returned into a verdict of Manslaughter against both prisoners . —The Court then sentenced them to two years' imprisonment with hard labour .

LAST HONOURS TO GARIBALDI ' S MOTHER . ( Translated from the " Gazetta del Popolo . " ) Nice is indeed a noble city , a city of generous inhabi . tants , and an Italian in spite of the influence of two formidable associations , one controlling education and religion , and the other appealing to interest . And she has ahown herself noble , generous and Italian tc-day , when , in the least splendid quarter of the city , in a small and poor house , died a woman of the common people , at an advanced age , a woman without wealth , without the lustre of high birth , without the splendour of position in society , without the claims of a wandering genius , although richly endowed with what is far more valuable , the highest rectitude of judgment , the noblest feelings and tho most ardent love for her country , Italy . That poor woman , though unknown to the children of fortune , was the mother of Guiseppe Garibaldi , and the worthy mother of so great a son .
Only fourteen hours elapsed between the moment when she breathed her last and that in which she was taken to her last abode . And no sooner did the news of her death reach any one , than , in the gi-neral interest which prevailed , that it was spread in every direction ; and crowds pressed to the humble house , not only citizens , but all the exiles , banished from their country b y politioal circumstances , have found Nice an asylum and a hospital . At no epoch has Nice ever before seen so great and imposing a funeral display—one that would compare with the obsequies of that modest plebeian woman . The pall was borne by four exiles , of four different nations , but united by the same pnnciples-an Italian , a Frenchman , a Russian , and a Polander . They were followed by a group of ladies , four of them Venetians , then tne daughter-in-law and grandchild ofthe ex-president ,. Daniel Manin , and the wife of a most eminent artiBt . Modena . The last was born on the other side of the A ps , but Italy loves to call her hers now , for what she did at Palma and Rome
There were also the wife of the distinguished veteran Pasetti , a gentle Roman , and several others . Behind them came a throng of Italians from all the provinces of Italy , all of which have worth y representatives , and some illustrious or . ea ; and many of those who have been expelled from France , and who are undeceived , but not changed ; with other men from other countries , all soldier * ofthe same flag , boond together in one love and the same faith , and , excited by the single desire to show respect , in the remains of a poor aged woman , to the dear and sacred name of Garibaldi . A solemn procession was surrounded and followed by the best , and , I say with pleasure , the largest part of the population of Awe , all mournful ; and , I reneat with nride .
what funeral ot a great man , in thia city , ever equalled that of this poor woman ? Where was the Italian idea ever expressed with such affecting sympathy ? And who would dare to deny it , while seeing so many people extend in the open country and wind up the path of tho steep hill , there standing to pray for the repose from her labours , who had educated suoh a son of Italy , and weeping and meditating on an uncertain future , which God , in his mercy , may make sp : edy and happy . "We add nothing to these words . We think of the grief ofthe great exile , while we make this mournful announcement . These are things which have no words . It will belon ? to foreigners to comfort the afflicted heart of the Defender of Rome ! To thi 3 account' L'Eco d'Italia '
addB : — "They write from Nice as follows : — « The Advocate B . Eunice , Councillor of the municipality , G . Doldevi , ofthe National Guard , and A . Zmetti , a Venetian exile , have opened a subscription , to which all the Niceans and emigrants have contributed , to oreot a monument on the tomb of Rosa Garibaldi , who knew how , in her poverty , to give to Italy , so faithful a defender , aud illustrioua a citixen aa Gaiseppe G ? ribaldi .

The Secretari-at- War read a letter of explanation from General Thomas in reference to tho chargoof military coercion in the late Enniskillen election , wherein he admitted canvassing in favour of Mr . Whiteside , but denied theallcccd intimidation . He ( the gallant Secretary ) considered General Thomas had noted with imprudence , but that lie had not been guilty of military intimidation . The remaining supply votes were then passed , including the grant for the pay and equi pment of the new militia force . The Labuan vote gave rise to eome discussion on the subject of a dispute between Sir J . Brooko and the Eastern Aschipelago Company . Secretary Sir J . Pakikgton intimated that legal proceedings were pending on the subject . Mr . O'Conxor . —At the evening sitting a petition was presented from a sister of Mr . O'Connor ' s , praying for his liberation from the custody of the Sergeant , that he might bo placed in a lunatic asvlum .
On the motion of Mr . Secretary Walpole . a committee was appointed to inquire into the sanity of the honourable member . Mr . Secretary Walpole laid on the table the minutes of council altering the management clauses of the National Educational Grant . The ri ght honourable gentleman , in answer to Mr . C . Lewis , announced that the Corporation of Lon-on had submitted a plan to the Home-office , which had been approved , to take Copenhagen Fields as tho site for the new Smithficld Market , Mr . He . \ i , et intimated a probability of the introduction of a bill next year to prevent the evasion of the Joint-Stock net .
Ike Outrage upon Mh . Mather—Lord John Russell ' s Review of inn Srssion . —Lord J . Russell , on tho report of the resolutions of supply , called attention to the case of Mr . Mather . lie detailed the circumstances of the outrage , and , after referring to tho vacillating conduct of Lord Malmesbury , who in writing to France described the outrage as a wanton and unprovoked assault , and in hi 3 despatch to Tienna called it a mere accidental circumstance , commented on the injury to the national character which must result from making questions involving the national honour matters of mere pecuniary consideration . He entered his protest against a course of conduct which he felt must degrade the government of England in the eyes of Europe , but , adopting Lord Derby ' s language in reference to the late government and the affairs of Greece hwould
, e say , in the language of that noble lord :-burely it becomes the British legislature to step forward and to say that the Foreign-offico in England is not England—that the high-minded generous English feeling of this great people is opposed to measures such as have been taken by the government of the country—that we separate our actions from theirs , our feelings from theirs , our views of political matters , oar views of justice and good faith , from theirs . " So , sir , continued Lord John Russell , do 1 beg leave to separate my feelings of honour , of justice , and pod faith , from the conduct that her Majesty ' s government have pursued in the case of Mr . Mather . ( Loud cheers . ) I beg leave to enter my protest against conduct which Beems to me to degrade the government in the eyes of the world , which will not degrado this country because it take 3
a far better and far hi gher viow than the government , of what is due to its oharacter , and this I trust will be recollected before the government interfere again to Obtain redress for a British subject . I trust they will consider that m the present state of continental Europe this is almost tho only country where there can be any free expressions of opinion , where a free press and free discussions in the legislature can be freely allowed . Because , though thero are ^ e forma of constitutional government in several countries of Eur . v'Vj he « e forms are in some countries so perverted , and , \ n other instances , where they are not perverted and where there is some real libert y , yet those countries themselves are so small and so dependent on their greater neighbours that no bold and open expression of opinion oan be tolerated . In such territories as these no such p . imphlete
as that which , to his immortal honour , came last yoarfrom the right hon . gentleman , the member for the university of Oxford —( cheers)—could , I believe , be made public at the present time in any other country in Europe . If this is the case , it behoves us more especially to keep our obaracter untainted and our honour untouched : it behoves us , if we are to como forward asking for redress to ask it mildly , to ask it with temper , but at the same time to insist upon that which we believe to be our due . ( Hear , hoar . ) It would be an inestimable loss , not only to this country but to the world , if our character as a great and independent nation should in any degree be lessened . ( Cheers . ) I trust , therefore , before the noble lord at the bead of the Foreign-office writes any such despatches as these again , he will consider how great is the char-re entrusted 10 him . and
that he will not lightly endanger those great interests and this high character by -such heeilless expressions . ( Loud cheers . ) Turning to the conduct of the government at home , Lord John Russell adverted to the studious concealment of their policy , the contradictory views expressed by tho Chancellor of the Exchequer in the House of Commons and the Prime Minister at the Mansion-house , by tho Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and the Solicitor-General , who appealed to their constituents on Protection principles , and those of their number who put forward the "big loaf . " Ho reminded the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the landlord party who talked of compensation , that the Corn Laws were not Imposed for the good of the landed interest , but for the national advantage , and when the national advantage was ahown to he the ntW
way , thero was no ground for continuing them or granting compensation . He complained that ministers had occasioned unnecessary differences b y raising expectations of interference with the existing systems of national education in England and Ireland—with the Maynooth endowment , and other subjects . By having no settled opinion , but promising to re-open every question , they were offering a premium to agitation , but it would be for the country to decide whether they could place confidence in a government which had no principles of its own . Lord Stanley , defended the conduct of Lord Malmesbury in tbe Mather case , and explained that the word "accidental" in that noble lord ' s despatch was meant to imply that the attack bad nothing in it of a national charaoter , thou
gh undoubtedly it was most unprovoked and brutal in its nature . He entered largely into precedents , to show that the olaim for redress could only be made against the Tuscan government , and not against Austria . If tho demand had been made upon Austria , it would have been a recognition of the Austrian occupation of Tuscany , which England had never jet done , and gone far to increase the power of despotic governments in Europe . He denied thero was anything of principle in the question of compensation —it was a mere matter of personal injury involving Bo national insult , and bo considered Mr . Mather ' s first demand of £ 5 , 000 wai unreasonable , and the reason Mr . Scarlett ' s acts had been disavowed was not because he had taken a smaller sum , but because he had disclaimed the prinoiple of the responsibility of Tuscany .
Mr . Osbornk said he lamented the course which had been adopted b y the noble lord the member for the City of London , because if over a case was entitled to be considered upon its own merits , without including the general imbecility and incapacity of the government , it wai the preient one . ( "Hear , " and a laugh . ) The case of Mr . Mather , and the conduct of the noble lord who , to the great miBfor * tune of the country , waa installed in the Foreign Office , was a question of itself sufficient to engage the attention of the house , and had , in his opinion , been diluted by going into the general transparent Bhuffling of the government . ( Hear , hear . ) He blamed the noble lord at the head of the government for not at onco calling the Austrian government to account , instead of thus huckstering away tbe oha « racter of thecountry . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Scarlett asked
whether peouniary compensation would be taken . Lord Malmesbury in a moBt extraordinary reply said to Mr . Mather , " Do you wi * h me to go to war ? " and in the true spirit of a pedler asked , " What will you take for your injury V Mr . Mather replied that he did not wish to mako it a personal case , that the national honour was concerned , and for that reason he mentioned £ 5 , 009 . What was Lord Malmesbury ' s conduct then ? Did he say the demand was exorbitant ? No such thing , He bowed Mr . Mather out without giving him the least idea that he thought his demand exorbitant . Let them follow up this case . He then , behind Mr . Mather ' s back , writes a letter to Mr . Scarlett , saying , " This is an exorbitant demand , make it £ 1 , 000 . " £ 1 , 000 was the price at which Lord MalmeBbury thought an Englishman might be out down in the streets of
Florence , and in this despatch , couched in most remarkable language , and in which the grammar was on a par with the feeling , he said that the price demanded waa exorbitant , adding , " But you will see what can be got . " ( Laughter . ) Let the house picture to itself tho noble lord below him writing such a despatch , and in such language , telling his minister to judge , " what may be got . " ( Cheers . ) What security was there for the lives and honour of British subjects abroad when such ministers as Lord Maimesbury were at the Foreign-office ? The great boast of this country , the " civis Romanus aum , " was only a pretence while the government allowed men to be so degraded . To this day no contrition had been expressed on the part of the Austrian officers . So far from that , they commended the conduct of Lieutenant Forsthuber , and he was cried up as the hero of tho army and the man who cut down the
Englishman who was valued at £ 500 . He was also informed by some people from Florence that that officer was the hero of the hour , and that the health of Lord Malmesbury and Lieutenant Forsthuber were constantly given together at the Austrian messes , ( "near , hear , " and laughter . ) Scarlett might be a very amiable man , but ho was not fit for his business ; and he ( Mr . Osborne ) would suggest to the Chancellor of the Exchequer that he should send him to some quieter place where there were no Austrian troops ; and if there was any half-pay list for the Foreign-office , to put Lord Malmesbury upon it , This was an act and a treatment of a British subject such as had never been surpassed . Ho ( Mr . Osborne ) was sorry that the question had been mixed up with any other question , whether that of Protection ot atiy other . It was a question great enough to interest the house itself , and he regretted that by the forma

of the house he was prevented moving a direct vote of censure on Lord Malmesbury —( loud cueovs , and cries of 11 Movo" ) -for he had disgraced them , and lowered them in the eyea of the whole continent of Europe . ( Cheers . ) Tho Marquis of Gbasby referred to a number of statistics to prove the depression of tho agricultural and the shipping interest under Free Trade . lie also endeavoured to show , by deducting the decrease of production from tho increase of imports , that the consumption of wheat had fallen off by 400 , 000 quarters a year . If Protection , were not rostored , the pecular burdens pressing upon agriculture must bo lessened .
Lord Palmerston said that this case , from tho beginning to the em ) , was not a comedy , but a tragedy , of " all in tho wrong . " The late government and the present irovernraent had both taken a wrong view . The government , ought to have demanded tho punishment of the Austrian officer , Rnd if he had acted in accordance with the regulations of his service then an apology was due from tha Austrian government , and the national honour being satisfied , then tho question of compensation to the individual would have arisen , ne considered Mr . Scarlett was wrong in accepting loss than the minimum fixed by his instructions , and that that minimum ( £ 500 ) was far too little . The proper course waa to have demanded , and insisted upon , redress from the Tuscan government ; and if Tuscany called in a foreign garrison to make her responsible for the acts of that
garrison ; at the same time he was not sure that greater advantage might not havo been obtained in tho way of example , by making Austria responsible for the misdeads of her own soldiers . However , it was considered best to treat with the Tuscan government , and to accept of a money reparation the British government should have said , " We will take the money , and whatever you may say about nonresponsibility , we will make you remember that you are responsible ; we will compel you to give adequate compensation , and we do not care a pin for your saying that you are not responsiblo . ' ( Hear , hear . ) We should say you are responsible , and we will make you responsible . ( Hear . ) There might be some value in reading this lesson to Tuscany , but the lesson would be far greater in an European sense if we said to Austaia , if you take advantage of
your superior force and occupy Tuscany with your garrison we will hold you responsible for the conduct of that garrison , and if you misbehave we will not look to the weaker government , on which you havo imposed your garrison for satisfaction . ( Hear , hear . ) I desire , sir , to see the independence of Tuscany , and those papers called attention to the unfortunate state of a large portion of the Italian peninsula , ( Hear , hear . ) The Italian people were endowed with great and eminent qualities ; they possessed great intellectual ability , and when the opportunity was afforded they produced men who , as statesmen and warriors , wero as full of capacity as those of any part of Europe , ( Hear , hear . ) I apprehend it is because they have not had this opportunity of late year ? that Italy did not produce such eminent men . It is
lamentable to see the state of Tuscany , . of the Roman States , and of Naples . ( Hear , hear . ) In these states the greatest misgovernment prevails , and when Austria is reproached for the condition of Italy , she draws a comparison botween that part of Italy whioh is under her control and the condition of the people in those states which I have mentioned ; but like the gentleman from the sister island , who ordered his bootmaker to make him two pairs of boots , one pair to be larger than the other , and then complained that instead tho man had made him one pair smaller than the other —( laughter)—the Austrian government ought not to say that the part of . Italy under her control was better off than the other parts . but that the other parts of Italy wero worse off than that whioh 8 he governod . ( Hear , hear . ) I believe there never was suoh
an example of such a system , of misgovernment , of illegality , of violence , and abuse of , power ,: as that which now prevailed in Naples and the :. Roman States . ( Hear , hear . ) It is a disgrace to modern Europe . , . ( Cheers . ) In Tuscany things are not so bad , ' but people " wore exposed there to acts of licentious violence from ' a . " foreign garrison , for which there was no redress , and a state of things existed and was submitted to which , if it happened in this couutry , would rouse the indignation of every man-in the country . France occupied Borne and Austria occupied Tuscany , and the legations , and one would not : leay . e ; till ; the other had left . They were told that : this state of , things would end in May , but May was anticipated by . December . May has
now passed . I therefore , entreat , her Majesty ' s government to exert their influence oti . thia subject and in favour of an interesting and ' intelligent people . ' It . is said that disturbances ' would take , place if'these foreign troops wore withdrawn , but I ask the house to recollect what took place in 1831 and 1832 , when the ; sovereigns of Italy were advised to make ooncessioneto the peoplo of the five great powers—France , England , Russia , - Prussia , and Austria . If those concessions wore yielded , ! , do , no , _ t , believo tho present state of things could exist ; and I . think ' that her Majesty ' s government may attempt , something of the . kind now . If they took it up . in . the ' spirit in ' whiclfi' I am sure they are disposed to do , great good would follow from their interference . ( Cheers . )" . ' ;¦ - ; * .:, ¦
The CHANCEiiioB of tho -Exchequerdefended the course taken by Lord Malmesbury in the Mather case . I hear , observed Mr . Disraeli , great delicacy . expressed about a man taking money whore anoutrage of this kind has been oommitted . Why , it is the only mode recognised in this country by which a reparation can be made . Why , gentlemen in this country , on subjects in which their most delicate honour is concerned , appear before courts , and accept peouniary damages . ( " Hoar , hear , " and laughter . ) Does anybody suppose , when damages are tendered under such circumstances , that they are offered as a reparation for the wrong complained of ? They are offered because that is the mode by which , according to the custom of this country , a certain punishment can be inflicted upon the person who has done the injury , and at the same timo a certain
reparation offered to tho person who is injured . The noble lord has called our attention to the state of Italr . But the noble lord spoke in a tone as though the government were rosponsiblo for this . Tho state of Ital y is no worse than we found it . The noble lord has beon making these speeches on Italy for a considerable time ; and very just are his observations , and very ingenious his policy ; but the state of Italy has not been improved hitherto either by the councils or tho conduct of the noble lord . ( Hear , hear , ) The noblo lord has not only mado speoohos on the state of Italy ; he has oven sent some of . his friends onamisBion into that country . ( Hear ,. hear . ) . , . But when we see . that after all the efforts q : a man of the vast ability and experience of the noblo lord the state of Italy is rather aggravated than not , her Majesty ' s government are sensible that
iney must prooeou with very-great deliberation . ( Hear , hear . ) That tho time may cot ive when the fairest part-of Europe may not bo posseasedvby . the hostile . garrisoris ' of foreign countries is a result whioh ' every man rouat desire who has the loaat sympathy for freedom , or who feel ? grateful for what Italians have done for modern civLisatlon ( Loud cheers . ) I do not think' it is necessary tprsay more upon the subject that is before the ' house . "Turning to home policy , Mr . Disraeli denied' having - '' ever lield- the opinion that the corn laws wero imposed-to * keep uj > rehts ; but he contended that laws which imposed burdens on land which other interests were not liable to :, were unjustifiable . Speaking to Lord John ' B condemnation ¦ ¦ -. ofMnlnister . a ; - In using education and religion for party purposes , twitted h \ m | with his own conduct on the appropriation olause ; and in reference to a charge of taking the education vote before
producing the minuto which interfered with the mana ' cS . ment clauses , said that except in one previous case such minutes had never been produced until long after the voting of the grast . Ho denied that the party now in power recommended a recurrence to the laws existing before 18-10 , regretting aa they did the changes then made both in regard to corn and sugar-and , however favourable he might be to a fixed duty on corn , ho was not prepared to make an unpopular tax , which was not a principle after all but a measure—the basis of the ministerial policy . The ' oi . iect of the government was to do justice to thoso classes who were unjustly treated by the policy of 1816 , and that without disturbing tho existing settlement . Lord D . Stuart charged the Foroi gn . office with having pandered to Austria at the expense of this country and Mr . Mather .
The discussion was terminated by the motion for reporting the supply votes being affirmed . At two 0 clock in the rooming an attempt was made to bring on the ad journed debate on the Maynooth grant , which was met by a . leterminod stand by the Irish members , and , after several divisions , a further adjournment took place .

"P « w » case there was no good reascn why they p £ RTzr& : as , S ^ B to organise > a force which , after the war haagolo . iSw years , might replace the regular army ; but the daneer thev had to guard against was a sudden attack , and hi iuku £ their Lordships whether the new militia would enable them to do so . Tha present was a period oi great trmquillity , arising trom the general welfare , but such a happy state of things could not always be calculated on ; and what would be the result when now troubles ami ex'Jiteiiifnts arose of giving to the least trustworthy portion of tbo population a knowledgo of military discipline ? The bill brought forward by tho late government was essentially different from the present measure , and the opposition now offered to it could not be regarded as involving any inconsistency . He considerod . it a most unfortuuate ciroumstance that at the
close of the wav tho local militia was abandoned , lie lamented the deficient Btate of the police in many counties , and expressed his opinion that the discipline of ttat forceought to have boon raised by grants irom tho public revenue . He believed that volunteer rifle corps also might have beon mado afar moro useful arm of defence tl-an that now contemplated in the event of any sudden emergei . oy . The Earl of Ellesmbke drew the attention ofthe house , m the first place , to the necessity of such a measure , which he contended was generally concurred in . There wt-ro in
France , as in England , many roads to simrious and temporary popularity , ami among them existed one which pointed to an invaBion of this country . Ho had scon no desire whatever on the part of tho person who now ruled in Franco to adopt Buch an expedient ; but , he , nevertheless , in the existing stato of tho two countries , thought that we ought to be prepared against all emergencies , He could not say that either of tho two bills for raising a militiii that had been brought forward would supply an efficient field force , but for many purooses the force so created would be very useful , and thereforo he would support tho bill .
After a few words from Earl Wam > eoravb the bill was read a second time , and the house adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMOXS .-At the morning sitting the subject of the debate upon Maynooth Collego was revived on the question of bringing up the report ofthe Committee of Supply . ¦ M r . Kbooh inqured whether Mr . Fpooner intended to replace upon the votes the order for resuming the adjourned debate , which b y the abrupt adjournment of the house at three 0 clock that morning waB left in a state of sutpendod animation . . ; .-. Mr . Spooler replied that ho was content to let the division already had bo a decision on the main question . , A long and somewhat angry discussion succeeded , in the course of which the Seoretary-at-War , with some warmth repliedto Mr . Osborne , charging him in turn with attacking * not only governments but individuals , and entitled him tho Thersites of Middlesex .
The discussion went on for a fuU hour , and at last pro . duced . no result , except that Mr . Spooner intimated tha ; ba did not mean to take any further step in the matter . ; . The report waa brought up and agreed to . ; Mr . O'Connor . —On the motion of Sir W . Joliffb ( in the absence of Mr .

Napiek , in moving for leave to bring ^ in a bill to continue the act of 1847 for the hotter prevention of crime and outrage in certain parts
of Ireland , gave an outline of the nature and provisiona of that act , with a description of the circumstancoi of Ireland when it was introduced ; and then drew an appalling picture of the agrarion outrages—which had doubled in number since 1 S ± 7—the threatening notices , the murders for which no conviction could bo obtained , juries being , he said , intimidated from performing their duties . In this state of things , when the ordinary law was insufficient for the protection of lifo and property , the house , he thought , would incur a fearful responsibility if it refused to continue this act for a limited period .
Mr . Lawuss should oppose the introduction of such a bill , unaccompanied by any measure for amelioratine the condition of Ireland . 6 Mr . F , Sci ? llt considered it unfair to introduco the bill before the evidence which had been taken by the Committee was in the hands of members . « " «« " « Mr . S .

Batlet ' s Divorce . —As some months have elapsed since this matter was before the house , for the . purpose of calling the attention of the public to the facts of the case we eivo a sketch of the details as an abstract of the opening .-tr . iement of the learned counsel on tbe previous occasion . Their lordships would find that the young man , at the time a micor , had , on the 9 th of October , IBIS , contracted a marriage with a woman who at that period had passed as Mis 3 Helen Susannah Newton . The name of the petitioner was Iticbard Batley . the younger . The ceremony was performed in the district church of St . John ' s , in the W ' aterioo-road , and at the time of the marriage the petitioner was only in his 20 th year , and did not complete that age until the sueeeedn ? month . The marriage had taken place without
either the consent or knowledge of Mr . Batley , the father . Prior to their union the woman had represented herself as the daughter of a Captain . Newton , holding a commission in the army , living at No . 6 , Clarcnca-place , Tun ; ridge "Wells , and subsequently to the celebration the son communicated the fact of tho marriage to his supposed father-maw by letter . That letter , however , was returned through the Dead Letter-office , indorsed " Xo such person known ? Upon this he spoke to his own father U ]> on the subject , who , naturally being anxious to stcrrtain the rc £ j < eeulnli ! y of Ma new daughter-in-law , accompanied by a friend , went down to Tunbri'lge Wells , where they discovered tint eo such person aa Captain Sewton \ ras Ux : own . Upon the return of Mr . Batley to London be communicated the result of his inquiries to his son . and the consequence of their
subsequent consultation was the ? cpa ;» tiou of the latter frrm his wife on the 10 th of Oc ober—just one week s . fier the marriage . Some time after the separation circumstances arose which created a suspicion in the mind of the petitioner as to the propriety of the life his wife was leading , and therefore , on theCth of June , 1819 , Le set a , * aich upon the house No . 40 , Brook street , Newington , to which house he bad already traced her from Astley ' s in the company of a man . Having made an arrangement vith two friend ? , ramed Martinelli and Barnes , on the 6 th of June , to watch in the street , the petitioner engaged a room in the house . After waiting Eome hours , the wile , accompanied by a man , was seen to enter the house ; and having presently called in hia two friends , they procoeded to the door of tbe room into which it was known Mrs . Batley and her companion had
gone . They knocked at the door of the room , when » voice from within ( Mrs . Batley ' s ) asked who was there . To this ihe reply was , "Tom . ' " The same voice said , " Who is Tom ? '" Upon this the petitioner and his friends forced the door open and entered the room . They found Mrs . Bitley in bed with a man , who waa in the act of rising aa lliey entered . Mrs . Batley crept under the bedclothes to hide herself . Both parties were undressed . Of course considerable confusion ensued upon this intrusion , and in consequence of that confusion the paramour escaped without either his name or place of abode having been obtained from him . lie waa therefore unprepared to place before
tteir lordships any evidence as to who that person was , and for the same reason it was that the petitioner had been ucable to bring an action at common law against the party , in caaiplianca with the rules of their lordshi ps' house , fie felt boand at that stage of the statement to inform their wdshi ps that some time after the separation the petitioner j £ < i leea summoned before a magistrate , who madean order that he should make a weekly allowance to his wife of 7 s . *« e fac ; of the adultery having thua been established , a swt-Ras instituted in the Ecclesiastical Court six days after lae discovery of adultery ( on the 6 th of June , 1 S 49 ) bad oetn made , and the final decree was pronounced for the di-« wce on the 6 th of December , 1 B 30 . He could not say that
$ 1 . been any distinct opposition to the suit ; but were had been some interrogatories by certain persona who « M interfered on her behalf . It was worthy of remark , in frr ° t 0 the nature of the relief the petitioner sought ? hn tue nds of their tordsbip ? , that , upon the service of UDn £ ° f tb 8 OldeF Of that L ° USe and the C 0 .
