Ihave not been able to learn what was done on ‘the occasion, but I notice that a great many Garibaidians ‘are leaving by the steamers for Genoa, Sicily and Cala- bria. A large number, I presume, will join and form a pertion of the army of Soutbern Italy, Victor Emanuel has issued an “order of the day,” déclaring that the army of volunteers in Southern Italy, commanded by General Garibaldi, bas deserved well of the country ‘that a commission of generals and superior officers chosen from the two armies, will make proper regula ‘Mong as to the grades of the officers; that the pension Jaws now in force in Sardinia will be applicable to all the and goldiers disabled from military tervice by wounds received in the war; that permission will be grant- 4 to the non-commissioned officers, corporals and soldiers who wish to return to their families, and one half of the fare by sea and railroad will be given them, and alsoa gratuity for the expenses of the journey equal to three months’ pay; that the volunteers who wish to remain ‘with the army must enter into the engagement for two years from this time, and that to the officers leaving the nervieo is granted a gratuity for travelling expenses equi- valent to six months’ pay. As there were quite a num- Der of Americans with Garibaldi this may interest anxious friends. I have heard that many of the volunteers have ‘taken their dismissal and received their gratuity, and are now enjoying themselves with the proceeds. An English company has organized, or is soon to be, for the purpose of constructing a railroad traversing the Neapolitan continent and Sicily, and connecting with other Italian roads. Such an improvement will give a great impetus to the progress of these provinces, for hitherto no encouragement has been given to public works of auy description, 1 believe there are no rail- roads,/excepting two or three short lines, connecting Naples with the towné and villages of ite environs, and I presume these would not have Deen constructed were there not royal palaces at Caserta and Portici, to both of which points there are roads, and also to Castellamare, where there is a royal forest, No doubt both the English and Neapolitan go- ‘vernments will give encouragement to the contemplated Project; the former, because ite policy is to extend its in- uence and acquire at least a ‘toe hold” in all parts of ‘the habitable globe; and the home government will lend all requisite countenance, as it will inaugurate a new era ‘and augment the prosperity of these provinces Immediate steps will be taken to increase the means of eommunication by sea between the different ports of tho Kingdom, as well as to diminish the time of transit. It Bow requires about three days for the steamers from Genoa, distant say 400 miles, to reach this city, though they generally touch at Leghorn and Civita Vecchia. ‘When veszels of larger eize and power are placed on the Me the distance will be accomplished in about thirty hours direct, mot stopping en route, This will afford great satisfaction to travellers, for the ‘voyage is generally a very disagreeable one now. The facrease of trade and travel, the natural sequence of the Fegencration of a people, will support a daily line, aud such will be established as soon as the requisite measures ‘ean be perfected.

It is overylling to him. Tn Mr. Lincoln we have not your man of one talent. Your man of one talent may ito .. tion, but he may spare himself the of aibition; he may be quite sure that he is born to be a drudge, Mr. cy Lincoin can do anything he sete his mind to, partly from nataral pa, partly by an immense power of ing his attention on whatever is before him. Hoe starts without even the common education of a village schoolboy; six weeks of a loghouse school when he was sixteen was his first and last experience of a schoolmaster; but he is seen after- wards giving fifty minutes of fixed and absorbed atten- tion out of his “mi hour of relaxation, after some hastily swallowed mouthfuls, to his book. The conseious- ness of this power gives him confidence. He knows he can get up anything he likes, ‘*The ‘Boys’ catch him by the arm’’ and make him a militia captain out of a mo- mentary freak, because he is the most popular and plea- sant fellow’in they‘New Salem;” an ordinary man would eg to be excused a campaign against the “Black Hawke;” Dut the storekeeper in an instant accepts the comnrani. It is with the same self-confidence that when his storehouse, owing to a frendalent partner, fails him and leaves him eleven hundred lars in debt, he foliows the bint which an accidental look into a book on surveying gives him, He knows he can make himeelf a surveyor inno time. Again, he knows he can make himeelf a lawyer, and accordingly a lawyer he be- comes. We must add to this a striking countenance, a commanding person, a manner, properly combining celf-posseasion and heartiness, and we see at once 4 man who has prodigious powers of making his way. Now, as we say, it is obvious what a clear gain ‘““Amo- rican institutions” are to @ man of this aspiring mould of mind joined to such antecedents. Such ant must have been a@ fatal drag upon Mr. Lincoln in any country of the Old World, at least in its normal condition, aud without a revolution to disturb it. Would the profession of the law, for example, have been practically open to an ex-farmer, ex-bargeman, ex-storchousekeeper, ex-land surveyor’ in this country? It would not bave been. The idea would never have entered into Mr. Lincoin’s head. The venerable looks of the sages of the law, their wigs, their ermine, the divinity which hedges in a judge, the proud traditions of the pro- fession, would have forbidden the aspiration. At a cer- tain time it is too late to begin. A man does not leap into Rome at once with us, however clever he may be. ition dictates the patronage of solicitors, and vetoes experiments. In a country, however, where a successful professional ascent is toa man after trying ever so many previous lines, where there is no barrier to keep out 8 Visiters, where it is not necessary to make your choice before you are twenty, but where you have the option of turnitg experience and growth of ‘intellect, oo whatever previous channels derived, atonce, when you like, into the most dignified and elevating channel— Where all this is sanctioned and by public opinion, and a man creates no prejudice against himself’ as a pushing and presumptuous aspirant by such a ‘course, but rather a feeling in his favor a3. a man of pro- per spirit, who is only turning to account the advantages of the state of society im which he lives—where this is the order of things ina country, @ powerful and extra- ordinary stimulus to exertion is offered to one class of men which is not offered elsewhere—we mean to that class which is conscious of great rers, but has the drawback of an unfavorable start bad introduction to life. These men do not bear the words ‘‘Too late” sounding in their ears: within a moderate compass it is never ‘too late’ for them. They are in time long after the clock of older institutions has struck, Time and tide wait for them. They have their chance when it would have gone under another sun. The prospect, then, is an enormous impulee to them, because, if it is never too ate to sneceed, it is never too late to exert themselves. ‘This, indeed, produces a restlessness in the activity of American society which we have not in our own. So. ciety with us is active, but with the consciousness at the same time of certain bounds which cannot be passed. There is a tendency to men resting on their oars in ail inasmuch as there is no } man is once in, he con tents himself with an advance in the arta and facilities of that one profeseion.

If the new system has |te advantages, however, the oki one has its points of superiority too, ‘It would require a long disqui sition to enter into them all, but it may be mentioned as one advantage that life should not consist wholly of motion, but that there should be a little rest in it as well. Sneb a modisied system may not produce the most promi nent instances of individual elevation, but it produces @ large amount of moderate distinction, which is thorough. ly enjoyed because the man has time and rest to enjoy it, whereas the American plan, for ove great restless intel lect which attains its complete object, bas thousands whieh go through the whole career of resticesness aud never the goal. —_— ‘The Secession Movement in the United States. [From the London Post, Nov. 28.) ‘The question of # ‘ation, whieh on various occasions has agitated the public mind in the United States, at Jength appears to beon the eve of accomplishment. South Carolina, irritated at the succcss of Mr. Lincoin, who may be sid to represent the anti-slavery sentiments of the North, threatens to secede, and to assume a posi tion of isolation which will, in roality, give her about aa much dignity in the family of American nations as the black republic of Hayti, That South Carolina has an abstract right to withdraw from the confederation cannot be disputed, because the Union which Washing. ton, Jefferson and Adoma established was based "Wy the common consent of the thirteen States, and there exists no provision in the American constitution which prohibite the withdrawal of that consent. But viewing the question exclusively from an American int of view, and especially in regard to the interests of the Seuth, the poliey which this insignificant and pre- tentions State appears determined to pursue is equally foolish and criminal. We are informed that Georgia, Florida and Alabama are likely to follow the example of South Carolina, either by forming separate States or b uniting in a confederation, the basis of which will y and the slave trade. But the mere separa- tion of Sexith Carolina will disarrange the entire machin ery of federal administration in the United States, The courts of the United States will be closed in South Caro: lina, possibly the mails may be stopped, and every official appointed by the President may be summarily dismissed by thd local authorities, In addition, South Carolina is ai liberty to refase to send either Senators or represen: tatives to Congress, and she may adopt the extreme and insane course of arming her militia against the power of the federal government. The New York that it is “the atlow South suspend the courts and stop ail the mails, provided she does pot attempt to interfere with the public revenue.’ Tn coming to this conciusion Mr. Buchanan acted with moderation and wisdom. South Carolina may afford to put up with the inconvenience of closed federal courts and an imperfect postal communication, but she cannot, the jor government, col. lect that revenue which belongs to the United States, or do any of thoes acts such as granting ships’ papers, which are necessary to cl Caro.

THE CURIOUS LEGITIMACY CASE. The Celebrated Trial of Shedden and Shed- den versus Patrick and Patrick and the happen General of Ragen. a the London Times, Nov. 24.) The hearing of this petition for @ declaration of legiti- macy was resumed. Mr. Collier, Q.C., Mr. Couch and Mr. Phear titioners; ‘Mr. Rott, Q. C., Mr. Bovill, Q. C., ¥. C., and Mr. Powell for the respondents; and Mr. Bourke for the Attorney General, Some « which between the peti- tioner and W! Patrick in 1823, 1824, 1839 and 1841 was put in evidence for the purpose of ‘explaining corroborating the petitioner’s statement with respect to the documents maid to have been delivered to him by William Patrick in 1923. A deposition was also read made by an old man named Robert Stevenson, who said that he remembered the arrival in Ayrshire of the boy William Shedden from America, and that one of the ser. vants spoke of him as ‘the young laird of Roukhwood.’” Mr. Carment, W. S., partuer, and formerly clerk to Mr. Wm. Patrick, pat in a great ‘number of documents, amongst which was the following, ou which the respond. ents greatly rely:— New Yorx, Nov. 12, 1798. My Very Dear Nernsw—My long aud painful illness must apologize for my long silence. I am now going to quit this world. I have married Miss Ann Wilson, which is approved of by my friends here, and which restores her and two fine “children [have ‘by her to honor and credit. Ihave settled all my affairs, and appointed ex- ecutore here who will correspond with you. One of my children is a boy named William Patrick Shedden. They are charming children—he in particular, I have or- dered my executors to send him to you. (A number of Dills remitted are then enumerated, the whole amounting to £417, 16s. Sd.) 1 desire that such further sum or sums of money may be appropriated for the »porpiee of Maintaining and educating him genteelly, and according to his talents and inclination, not exceeding £500 ster- ling, without the consent of my executors, of whom you are to be totally independent in this busimess. I ean only add that I Temajn ‘till death, dear William, your af- fectionate uncle. WILLIAM Attested—Joun Mriis. This document was endorsed—in Mr. Wm. Patrick's handwriting—*New York, November 12, 1798. Duplicate original by ship Fanny via Greenock.” Another copy purporting to be a triplicate, and also containing the wo! ““gigned,”’ before Mr. Shedden’s name, was likewise read. The original was not forthcoming, and the authenticity of the documient is disputed by the petitioners. Mr, Collier tendered Lloyd's List for the purpose of showing what vessels had arrived at Greenock from New York in the beginning of 1799, in order to controvert the ‘coount given by Mr. Patrick as to the transmission of the letter of the 12th of November, 1798, and of ite duplicate and triplicate. ‘A clerk frog Lioyd’s proved that the list purported to contain the all vessel» arriving at different ports in Great Britain. It was made up from letters received from agente at the ports announcing the arrivals, The agent would in every case keep a book of entries. The letters of 1798 were among the documents destroyed when the Royal Exchange was burnt down. ‘Their lordships rejected the evidence. ‘This being the close of the evidence in support of the petition, Mr. Rolt_ proceeded to open the respondents’ case. He suid that the lady who had opened the petitioners’ case with such remarkable skill had complained of the dif. culty she was under in conducting it without professional assistance, but the petitioner had deliberately chosen to conduct it in the way in which it had been conducted. The Judge Ordinary—You need not enter into that question. Mr. Rolt said he would give the Court a simple state. ment of facts which would admit of no donwt or dispute upon the evidence in any reasonable mind. After rece pitulating the relationship @ the different members of the Patrick and Shedden fatnilies who were ia America between 1790 and 1708, he admitted that the law of mar riage in New York was, as stated by the petitioner's wit nessee—namely , that no official or ecclesiastical ceremony was necessary to create a marriage, but that the fact of a marriage which might be proved by habit and repate was guflicient. The case to which the petitioners pledged themselves was this:—A gentieman of character and position equal to that of Mr. Shedden lived near New York and had a daughter, who in 1790 was abont 16 ye age. Mr. Shedden paid his addrease ° honorable courtship, and the only raised to the match was that of her y flection removed the difficulty, the: Ind consented, and the marriage took place, Could any hu man being believe that in 1708 all evidence of the fact of fuch @ marriage. openly contracted in 1700, had eonplete ly disappeared, the lady herself, her father, and of course most of their Acquaintance being then alive? This was not represented as the case of au illicit amour gradually ripening into a fixed cohabitation, but a a contract open ly entered into, with no attempt at concealment. The death-bed marriage was quite irreconcilable with this case. It could not have been thought necessary for the purpose of preserving the testiinony of a marriage which had been contracted only a few years earlier. The case of the respondents wea, th 89 A woman named Ann Wilson wax | k, ip a house of her own; that she recov ian § den im the drst st that house; that they gradually became more onl more acquainted; that she occasionally visited at bis home, and at last, during the latter part of his life, wok up her residence there alto gether ; that there was no pretence for saying there was any marriage previous to the death-bed marriage, and that the evidence of habit and repate was utterly opposed to the idea of euch « marri A respectable merchant in New York would prove that in 1794, when he was 20 reare old, he was intimately acquainted with society ia New York, and knew William Shedden, and that he was an unmarried man, Another witness who was in the house when William Shedden died, and had known him for several years, would prove that Ann Wilson was openly and notoriously a woman of very light character that she insinuated if into his house and resi there as his mistress, but that be never introduced ber as bia wife into decent society. The whole of the doca- mentary evidence ibis view of the case, and proved that the death bed marr: was merely contract. ed for the purpose of legitimat) the children and making an honest woman of Ann Wilson. The will, which was executed on, 7th of November, 1798, the sume day when the death. bed marriage was contracted, was in some reepects remarkable, This wealthy merobant, as he was re- presented, left only $400, £80 or £90 a year, to the virtu ous and excellent woman to whom be liad been married for years, and the onl, was left under her dare, was to remain under it only as Jong a8 the executors thought proper, and a# jong as «be followed their advice as to ite education. The letters of Jobn Patrick and of the two other members of the fami- ly in America—Wiiliam Shedden, of Virginia, and Robert Fatriek, of New York—contained declaration upon decla- ration that there was no marriage previous to the death bed marriage. But the most important declaration, and one which, in bis opinion, put an end to the case, was that of William Shedden himself, contained in his letter to Mr. Patrick, of the 12th of November, the day before his death. The original of this letter written and signed by him, and he also made two copies, all of which were sent to thie country. Had it not been for the wicked conduet of the male petitioner that original would have beon produced, for it was either in the petitioner's pos session or had boen destroyed by him. fortunately & duplicate and triplicate had been made and had doen produce’. His answer to the suggestions which had been offered as to the improbability of this duplicate aud triplicate having been transmitted in the manner stated by Mr. Patrick was, that the original had been sent by one ship and that the duplicate and tripll- eate had both been sent by another ship soon afterwards ‘The learned coungel read extracts from the letters of the membors of the family in America to the different _ mem bers of the family im England and Scotland, from 1708 down to June 1700, all of them assuming that =a sons to whom they were wrilten were ignorant that Wil- liam shedden ever Been married.

Mr. Collier, Q C., having concluded his reply, the Court, after a few minutes’ adjournment, proceeded at once to pronounce sentence upon the questions which had been submitted to it. ‘The Judge Ordinary said they had now arrived at the last stage of this very singular inquiry, an inquiry the length and complexity of which had caused the Court to fee! in a very considerable degree the reaponsibiliry that rested upon them. There were two or three circum- stances, however, which somewhat diminished that feel- ing. In the first place the evidence had been given somewhat slowly, aud #0 much immaterial matter had been mixed up with what was material that they had had abundant time to consider the weight that should be assigned to the latter. Another circumstance that might have embarrassed them was the fact that the female petitioner had been left for a considerable time to con- duet the cause without the assistance of counsel; but the intimate knowledge which she had displayed with every fact, material or mmaterial, connected with the histor; of her family, and the singular tact and dexterity which she had shown in the management of her case, entirely relieved the Court from any apprehension on that score. Besides, a portion of the evidence had been given, and the whole been very ably comamented upon by an ex- Perienced counsel. lastly, Court felt that the case was not a question ing upon nicely balanced evi- dence, but it was one upon which they had all been ena- bled to come to a most clear and unhesitating judgment. ‘The question was simply this: Had a marriage in fuct been solemuized whether with or withot rel rites, between the father and the mother of the elder petitioner before he was born? During fourteen days the Court had had to discharge the functions of juryraen; but they could not content themselves with giving, like jurymen, « simple verdict of aye or no—they felt bound to state the reasons from whieh they drew conclusions to which they had come. The facts on which the case turned were not numerous. The evidence given by the petitioners of the alleged marriage was confined to what was called habit and repute; but they said that at this distance of time it would not be reasonable to expect them to supply better testimony ef the fact. Now, the first question that Buggested itself in dealing with the ease was: why should the marriage have been a secret onet The only reason they had now attempted to suggest was that Me. Wilson, the father of the bride, objected to the mateh because the difference between her age and the age of Mr, Sheddon was too great; and then it was said that immediately after this seeret marriage the parties cohabited togethe: ax man and wife, down to the death of tho petitioner futher; tbat in the meantime everyboly kuew of it. and that Mrs. Shedden visited and was visited by the ladie of New York. But what a strange reason to give fo keeping & marriage secret. If Mr. Wilson objected t his daughter being married to Mr. Shedtea because h ‘was too old, would he be reconciled to the idea of he cohabiting with him without being married, so far as be knew, at all? But, again, was this the roxon the petitioner had always given? In 1833 he was io treaty with Mr. Patrick for the purehase of the Rough wood estate, and ina rof the 14th of June he wrote, © Though Tam voable to establish my right jast now, yet what ix known on the subject would not be in your favor. I conesive it my duty to inform you that my sister old mo th my mother was a respectable young person, living her — ona small farm on tay father's esta did ‘ely of her bumble birth, but that he nevertheless treated he as bis wife.” If that was so, what became of the reason now alleged for the secresy of the match? This, by the way, Was (ue letter of a man who stated that till 1848 or 1849 he bad never bad the slightest intimation that any marriage had taken place until the ceremony which was performed ow his father’s death bed! But this war not all. He went on to say:—* Moreover my sister told me in 1829, when she mentioned this circumstance to me, that a Woman was still living who was preseut at the private marriage.” After these two ite reasons ase for the seeret marriage, what confidence could be felt in the evidence of habit and repute? Against that evidence there the testimony of Mr. ‘eilaon, who declared that Mr. Shedden always passed ‘a single man, and who was of much greater age than those witnerses who bad been examined on the other side. There was likewise the evidence of John Barr, whieh, if Barr had not perjured himself, was exceedingly strong. If the case had stopped here he (the learned ue) pigs, perhaps, bave felt some embarrassment, though he believed he should even then have held that the petitioners bad not adduced sufficient affirmative evi. to warrant his forming a judictal opinion that been prompted by a religious sera aa fulness of Cetresontal mewnatioe erithous the sane tion of the church, because Mr. Shedden well know that his cohabitation with the mother of the petitioner would never again be resumed. What other cause was there? It was suggested that the deceased might have thought that e second marriage might have been easier of proof than the first. But that could hardly be. All New York, it was said, knew of the first marriage; and Mrs, Sheddea ‘Visited and was visited by the families of Dr. Boswell, Mrs. Rankin, Mr, Hamilton, Judge Pendleton, and the other persons of repute of whose acquaintance ine tioners boasted. e deceased might, moreover, have made a declaration which would have been conclusive. The only other motive for the marr was the idea that it would legitimate the children whom the parties had had out of wedlock; and that, 80 long aa it suited hie case, was the reason assigned by the petitioner himeelf. He had been continually pressing upon his unele the fact that bis father bad always intended him to have the Ronghwood property, and that -he (Mr, Patrick) had basely availed himself of a tch- nical objection to defeat tho intention of the deceasody It bad been suggested, indeed, that Mr. Shedden had by some means been aS Cw ‘that eon wae ee conspiracy to deny his former marriags; and that to make sure be had the marriage resolomnized with cecles)- If there reaily had been such a design, who could have been parties to the conspiracy? Clearly no one bat Mr. Jobn ick in New York, and Mr. Wil liam or Mr. Robert Patrick in Scotland. But was it pos- sible to conceive, if Mr. Shedden had any such idea, that he would have appointed the fraudulent in New ‘York his executor, and the fraudulent m barg the guardian of his infant son? The notion was too absurd, He (sir C. Cresswell) now came to the letter of November 12, 1798, which it was admitted would, if genu put an end to the » In the first 3 Pe —TRIPLE SHEET, copy as his master’s a letter fabricated by some one else. The letter began—'‘My very dear nephew—My Jong and painful iliness must apologize for my long silence. [am now going to quit this world. T have mar: Tied Miss Aune Wilson, which is approved of by my friends here, and which restores her and two fine children I have by her to honor and credit.’’ The whole pith of the do- cument was in the one word ‘restores,”’ aud Mr. John Patrick must have been very cunning indeed to have hit ‘upon a phrase which conveyed so much without making aby positive statement at all. If he had fabricated the letter he would pro! ly have made it run: “1 have hitherto lived with Anue Wilson, but now | have married her.”’ ‘Then the letter went on actually to tell Mr. Pat- riek the name of the boy. The family waa one that rides itgelf not a little on its pedigree, aud yet Mr. Shed- had never announced the birth of his heir, as he would no doubt have done bad be had a legitimate sou born tohim. The letter was quite consistent with the will, and also with the letter of Anne Wilson, which had’ been sometines relied upon and sometimes repudiated by the petitioner, just as it suited his purpose. The original letter, as he had said, was pot produced. had become of it? Mr. Wm. Patrick said he bad given it to the petitioner, and that the latter had never returned it. ere Was some evidence that that was true: for, in a letter of the itioner in 1829 he said, referring to some letters Mr. rick had sent him, ‘3 Lhave never seen my father’s handwriting, and as it probably contains his last signa: ture, you will easily believe that itis a very dear relic tome.” Mr. John Patrick had said that Mr. Shedden had two letters to write, ove of them to Mr. Wikia Patrick, and there was, therefore, every probability that letter referred to was the one sent to fF reaped Nevertheless, in his petition to the House of }, and in his evidence on oath before this court, be had stated that he never saw even the duplicate of the document till 1849. Nor was that ail. In one of his letters he was ‘complaining, as it would seem, of Mr. William Patrick's conduct in sending to America to see if the decoaset had really married Anne Wilson; and so he said, “And just to think of you sending to America for @ certificate when you had received my father’s own letters, telling you of bis marriage to my mother.’’ It was impossible to reconcile that with the petitioner's subsequent statements, It was uite clear that Jobn Patrick had no doubt but that the deathbed marriage would have been sufficient, and that Jobn Willian Patrick would have accepted the guardian- ship. But John William Patrick felt that there was a doubt a8 to the effect of that marriage, and as he was agent for his brother Kobert, who, in the event of the petitioners proving illegitimate, would be the heir, he refuged (o accept the trust in his brother's absence. Mr. Crawford was the appointed tutor. Mr. Crawford was a Je man—though he thought that th ment of the Court of Sessions was a strong one, and one that would be affirmed by the House of Lords-—thought it his duty to appeal to the ultimate tribunal. As to the case having been fairly argued there, no o tain any doubt who had read the wonderful, acute and learned case prepared by Lord Brougham— the only one he bad ever drawn up for the House of Lords. Yet on the mere surmise, he must be charged with baving assis Mr. trick to plunder the estate. ‘The charge of fraud against Mr. Patrick having fallen to the ground the whole case of the petitioner must fall with it; and be (the learned judge) must therefore pronounce that he, William Patrick Ralston Shedden, was not a legitimate child of his father, and was consequently nt a natural born British subject. One word as to the posffion in which the petitioners were Jeft by this decision. For the male petitioner he could have no sympathy. He might haye brooded over his fancied wrongs until he had lost his facnity of judg it; but the course he had pursued had been such as must totally exelude him from sympathy. For the fe- male petitioner he (sir C. Creswell) did feel most deeply. He had no donbt that she had been brought up ina full belief of the truth of her father’s story; and from the intimate knowledge which she shown of every particle of evidence connected with the case, it was clear that she had dwelt upon it for years and years with the unhesitating contidence of a dutiful and affectionate child, until it had at last become interwoven with her nature, What was to be the consequence of this judgment toher? It must ‘be one of two things. If she was not convinced by it she would livh under a harrassing sense and conviction that she had sustained a grievous wrong, for which she was unable to obtain a remedy—a position sad enough. If she was convinced she would have to mourn and lament over that course of conduct which had embittered the latter days of an aged man, who, for @ period far exceed- ing an ordinary life, had been loved and honored; whose integrity had been impoached through her instrumental- lity; who had been subjected to a relentless porseca- tion which had been carried on by unfounded aspersions and most unjustifiable litigation : Mr. Justice Wightman and Mr. Justice Williams empha. ically concurred, and the decree was mae accordingly. On the motion of Mr. Boil, Q. C., the petitioners were condemned in the costs, and certain papers whieh they had obtained from Mr. Patrick in the Court of Sessions were ordered to be restored to him wm Telegraph, Nov, 28.)
