SATURDAY MORNING. APRIL 6, 1861
THE YELVERTON CASE
From the Baltimore American
The Yelverton case, which has lately created
a tremendous sensation abroad, and excited no
little interest on this side of the water, deserves,
we think, a few words of comment before it is
obliterated from men's memories by some newer
and dirtier scandal. The story, however, is
neither as naughty nor as tragical, nor as
sentimental as many of those with which the
public has been entertained within a few years
past. Bad as it is, it does_ not afford to pru
rient imaginations so luscious a feast as is
offered by pine in ten of the trashy novels that
issue daily from the press. It is not, therefore,
on account of anything very startling or pecu
liar in the case itself that we deem it deserving
of a moment's consideration. But there is
much in Its surroundings that will bear com
ment ; and we cannot refrain from referring to
a few of the extraordinary incidents which
marked the progress of the trial and the sur
prising demonstrations which attended its
conclusion.
It will be remembered that Major Yelverton
and Miss LongwOrth first met on board of a
channel steamer. On that occasion the Major
extended some courtesies to the young lady,
which being graciously received, served as the
beginning of an acquaintanceship which ra
pidly blossomed into friendship and ripened
into love. Through some mysterious influence
the parties were subsequently drawn into each
other's sphere, and though the Major went
successively to Malta, to the Crimea, and to
Edinburgh, Miss Longworth also found herself,
in turn, at or near each and all of these several
places. Into the character of their courtship
we need not too curiously inquire;
and it will
suffice to say that they married'themselves in
Scotland by reading together the marriage
ceremony of the English Church ; and that
they were afterwards married in Ireland, in
due form, by a Catholic priest and in a Catholic
chapel. Time passed away, and carried the
Major's affections with it. He grew heartily
tired of his wife ; and believing, or affecting
to believe that some legal informalities ren
dered the marriage void, he repudiated Mrs.
Yelverton. andmarried another woman. The
quondam Miss Longworth naturally enough
objected to this proceeding, and hence the trial
in Dublin.
The questions submitted to the jury were in
regard to the validity of the Irish and Scotch
marriages; and as both were decided to be le
gal, the Major found himself united by double
bonds to the original object of his attentions.
Such is a meagre outline of a case which, though
by no means a novel one, has set all Ireland
and England wild with virtuous rage and
maudlin enthusiasm. The Judge, in summing
up the evidence, charged the jury to "divest
their minds of every feeling calculated to influ
ence their calm and dispassionate considera
tion of' the case before them," and then went
on to discuss the testimony in an impassioned
philippic against the defendant, which must
have insured a verdict against the latter, even
had there been no fair proof to sustain it. The
verdictewas awaited :with breathless interest by
thousands upon thousands, who filled the streets
and squares around the place where the Court
was sitting. When the jury pronounced in
favor of Mrs. Yelverton, the scene is said to
have baftled description. Men yelled, and
laughed, and shook hands with those whom they
did not know, and threw their hats into the
air, and flung themselves madly into jaunting
cars, in order to carry the tidings speedily to
all parts of the city. Finally, when Mrs. Yel
verton appeared, they made one tumultuous
rush upon her carriage, and unharnessing the
horses, drew her in triumph to her hotel.
There also they found another mass of human
ity, which filled the square to overflowing,
and the lady was compelled to return thanks
to her admirers in a neat speech from'the bal
cony of the house. An immense concourse
was in the meantime waiting for the defeated
Major to leave the Court, with the avowed
purpose of throwing him into the Liffey, and
it was only. through a resort to sundry inge
nious devices' that he made good his escape.
In England the excitement was as general al
most as in Ireland, thoughnot, of course, as in
tense as near the scene of action. The press
teemed with editorials in which the Major was
pelted with all the unpleasant epithets which
our vocabulary can supply. Gentlemen of the
House of Commons could not contain them
selves, and an irrate member lost no time in
making inquiry of the Under-Secretary at War,
whether the Major had or bad not been in
stantly suspended ? At the Horse Guards, too,
the same indignation was manifested, and. it
has been decided that the Major is to be ar
raigned before a Court Martial for " conduct
unbecoming a gentleman." It might be natu
rally supposed, from the unanimity and fury
of these demonstrations, that no man in all
England had ever before wronged a woman or
behaved like a villein to his wife.
Now, we do not intend to take up the cudgels
for Major Yelverton. Far be it from us so to
do, for we heartily admit that he has acted like
a scoundrel, and that no punishment be is
likely to receive can be too severe for him. And
impartial justice compels us to state in this
connection, that we do not defend the conduct
of the lady, that we have little respect for her
character, and that we do therefore decidedly
protest against her being canonized as the pa
troness and exemplar of injured innocence for
all time to come. We simply mean to insist
that there has been a most extraordinary ex
citement about a very ordinary criminal and a
very common case. But why have our trans
atlantic kinsmen flown into such a paroxysm
of excitement upon this subject? Cases are on
trial continually, of which tLe details are more
harrowing or disgusting. What then is the
cause of so sudden an outburst of rage and
sympathy as has been manifested towards the
respective parties? There are hundreds of in
jured women in Great Britain who can find no
champions to do battle in their behalf. There
are hundreds of men in every walk of life,
from the highest to the lowest, who have noto
riously perpetrated brutalities and crimes, from
which even Major Yelverton. rascal though he
is, would, in all probability, shrink; but these
branded knaves and ruffians are by no means
ostracised. They are not set upon by mobs in
the street, or by country gentlemen in the
House of Commons, or by military moralists at
the Horse Guards. On the contrary, society
takes many of them by the hand, end dines
and transacts business with them, and does
them many a kindly service and genial cour
tesy. Why then have all classes combined to
taboo Major Yelverton? The following extract
front one of Lord Macaulay's essays gives, we
think, a clear answer to the question. He says:
" We know no spectacle so ridiculous as the
l i Britieh public in one of its periodical fits of
morality. In general, elopements, divorces,
and family quarrels pass with little notice.—
We read the scandal, talk about it for a day,
and forget it. Rut once in six or seven years
our virtue becomes outrageous. We cannot
suffer the laws of religion and decency to be
violated. We must make a stand against vice.
We must teach libertines that the English
people appreciate the importance of domestic
ties. Accordingly some unfortunate man,
in
no respect more depraved than hundreds whose
offences have been treated with lenity, is sin
gled out as an expiatory sacrifice. If he' has
children they are.to be taken from him. If he
has a profession he is to be driven from it.—
He is cut by the higher orders and hissed by
the lower. He is in truth a sort of whipping
boy, by whose vicarious agonies all the other
transgressors of the same class are, it is sup
posed, sufficiently chastised. We reflect very
complacently on our own severity, and compare
with great pride the high standard of morals
established in England with the Parisian laxi
ty. At length, our anger is satiated. Our
victim is ruined and heart broken, and our
virtue goes quietly to sleep for seven years
more."
We need no other explanation of the hubbub
which has been made about the Yelverton
case than the above quotation furnishes. We
now comprehend how it is that the same public
which, a few years ago, applauded the appoint
ment of Lord Cardigan to the command of the
cavalry in the Crimea, should demand the die.
missal of Major Yelverton from the army.
But there is'st ill anotherreflection suggested
by this affair, which deserves a brief considera
tion. What would have been said abroad if the
transactions to which we have referred had
taken place, as might well have been the case,
in New York or San Francisco ? Suppose the
frantic scenes we have mentioned had occurred
around the Court House in either of those cities,
and that the journals of the country had,with but
few exceptions, wrought themselves , alternately
into phrenzies of pity and indignatiot as they
discussed in turn the bald old roue and his dis
carded spouse. Do we not know that our En
glish cousins would have penned, for our im
provement, a thousand cutting paragraphs and
monitory dissertations? Would they not have
lectured and laughed at us,for our vulgar tastes,
our morbid curiosity, and our brutal manners?
Would not the stately Times have demented on
the characteristics of a people who could run
mad about a squabble between a man and his
wife, and upon the semi-civilized condition of
a country in which the citizens could greet the
rendition of a verdict with terrific cheers in the
Court room and could openly threaten to drown
the defendant? Would not Punch have presented
us with facetious sketches portraying the re
doubtable female litigant as she appeared when
addressing her fellow-citizens, or depicting a
swarm of lank Americans tugging at her car
riage ? In some such fashion, we are sure, the
Yelverton case, if it bad occurred here, would
have been treated by the English critics. For
ourselves, we should• not have blamed them
for anything they might have said about it.—
If, therefore, the people of Great Britain should
affect, as they probably will, to regard the late
ebullition as positive evidence of their enlight
enment, virtue, or refinement,we shall beg leave
to dissent.
THE WAY OF TEE WORLD
Like a pleasant harvest breeze from over a
sunny field of new mown hay, comes a pretty
little love story from Ireland—Neptune's impe
rial Emerald. Travelers know that Cupid is
forever " playin' his tricks" with the rosy col
leens and broths of boys appertaining to the
Gem of the Sea; but it's seldom his doings
there involve enough complications or contre
temps to make good newspaper romances.—
When your " bould lad of Killarney" falls in
love with a hit of a girl, he axes her will she
have him, without a sign of a blush ; and if
she says she will, the affair is decides (French
sounds nicely in an Irish story, you know.)—
Should her " ould man" see fit to interfere,
Paddy just tips him over the head with his shil
lelah, and marries the girl before he can getron
his feet again. As for the maiden, she never
associates tears or thoughts of suicide with the
wedding engagement, but sings from the time
'of her betrothal :
"My heart is as light as a feather,
hope it may never be sad;
I'm going to be married to-morrow,
And won't you have me, pretty lad ?
Hurroo !,'
So our readers will perceive that Irish court
ship does not present many attractions for the
"sensation" reporter, save when some English
adventurer tries to carry off some pretty heir
ess, when there is apt-to be a row and a grand
dramatic jig. At. last, however, Old Ireland
has prouuced quite a nice little hymeneal ro
mance, in which all the figurants are racy of
the turf, and we hasten to lay it before our
readers:
Near the ancient and scrupulously respecta
ble town of Nenagh, dwelt a fair and frolicsome
young apotheosis of eighteen summers, whose
naturalbeauty was materially enchanced by the
very becoming mellow light reflected from softie
hundreds of golden accessories. Her parsimo
nious but pious parents had saved up this
tempting assortment of lucre for her marriage
dower; and so distinctly did its auriferous
jingle find an echo in public sentiment that
the heiress had at least one sighing suitor for
every pound 'she possessed. To all she was
amiable and expensive ; but there was one
among them whose superior qualifications in
the way of good family and a bank-account
gave him a decided advantage in the grand
scrub-race for her band. This lucky individual
lost no time in gaining the consent of the "ould
ones" to his suit; and such strong influences
were brought to bear upon the pretty lass, that
she finally consented to become Mrs. o'—.
We need not inform our readers that the tri
umphant swain nea-ly swooned in the fullness
of his joy, and forthwith drove his tailor to
the verge of distraction, by ordering some of
the " loudest" vests and inexpresaibles that
ever electrified the eye-corporate of peaceful
Nenagh. He indulged in neck-ties that were
positively deafening, and put so much scented
oil on his ambrosial locks that for several days
he resembled a person who had tumbled head
foremost into the stomach of a sperm whale.
The happy day was appointed, " invites"
distributed, bridal robes purchased, the ring
procured, and everything made ready for that
interesting ceremony by which woman's power
of deluding mankind is made to appear pusi
tivety sublime. Friday was to be the day. On
Thursday evening the bride elect left her pater
nal dome for the ostensible purpose of pur
chasing a trousseau in town.
"She went like tit , ' light at eveniide,
When the day's white beard is shorn
And when the d.y was a child again,
She came back in a horn.' "
In fact, "it may be as well to observe, in
this connection," as the papers say, that the
pretty heiress did not come back at all. In
stead of buying a trousseau, she "sold" her ac
cepted suitor, and heartlessly eloped with a
bould soger boy," to whom her heart had
been given for weeks previous. By appoint
ment, this irrepressible lover met her at a cer
tain point on the road to Nenagh, handed her
into a chaise, cracked the whip, and
tct Now gallop my palfrey ray,' he said,
'Now gallop and gallop away;
For we must be twenty leagues from this
Before the bre ik o' day.' "
When Friday morning arrived without bring
ing home the bride; there went a cry through
all Nenagh and its suburbs—the cry of a deso
late young man in white gloves and fancy vest
pattern, who would not be comforted. The

been invited to " shake a foot at the marrying,"

How Swiss WATCHMAKERS LIVE AND WORK.—
Frederik& Bremer gives the following picture
of watchmaking in Geneva :
I was introduced into the watchmakers work
shops by M. Vlande, one of the merchants of
Geneva, a man of great humanity, and also of
rare amiability of disposition and character.
I could not have had a better guide, even with
regard to the moral inquiries which I wished
to make.
We began with the schools of pupil', where
young girls learn, for a term of three years, to
make every part of a watch. After this time,
they select that particular part for which they
have most inclination, or in the doing of which
they are most expert. The perfected pupils
may be sure, on leaving the school, of obtain
ing immediate employment among the watch
makers. Young girls from 12 to 18 years of
age appear very healthy and well cared for.
Each one has her own little table and her own
w s.
indow niche for her work.
The manufacture of pocket-watches, is, at
the present time, carried to a. great extent in
Geneva. An immense number are required for
the Chinese market. A well-equipped China
man, I have been told, carries a watch on each
side of his break, that he may be able to regu
late the one by the other. Wealthy Chinese
cover the walls of their rooms with watches.
These watches are of a more ornamental char
acter, and have more filigree work upon them
than those made for Europeans. Long live the
Chinese !
At one of the greatest and best conducted
manufadtories of Geneva nothing but watch
faces are prepared, and elderly, .well-dressed
and well-looking women sat by twenties and
thirties in clean, well-warmed rooms, working
upon watch faces.
"Do you not get tired of always doing the
same work ?" I inquired of some of them.
" Oh, no !" replied they, and showed me that
each little dial had to pass through fifty differ—
ent operations before it was finished. This
kept the attention awake, and prevented any
sense of monotony. They work here from
eight o'clock in the morning till six or seven
in the evening, and thus earn about 6Q francs
a month.
"Are you able to lay by anything for old
age, or in case of sickness?" I inquired from a
mother who had worked there with her daugh
ter, side by side, for ten years.
" Oh, no !" they replied, " we have no longer
been able to do that, since provisions have been
so dear."
- - -
"Nor yet for a little journey of pleasure or
holiday in the summer?"
"We never think of such a thing. We should
by that means lose, not only money, but also
our time, and possibly our place."
"Is not such a life as this heavy and void of
interest ?"
" We have Sundays for rest and refresh
ment, and the evenings for reading or occupa
tion of another kind. Besides which, we need
not, during our work, be continually thinking
about it."
They seemed perfectly satisfied.
The workmen who are able to execute cer
tain more difficult parts of the watch get higher
wages, and can earn from five to ten francs a
day.
In the meantime, this great division of labor
causes the great part of the women not to earn
much more than their maintenance.
" My grandmother made whole watches !"
said an old woman, with a sigh, who was now
sitting at home with her daughter, employed in
one single operation in a little cog for the
great manufactory, "and at that time women
were much higher in the work than they are
now, and also got higher payment. They were
few in number, but extremely dexterous. Now
they are innumerable, but their dexterity is
employed upon a mere nothing—a very
crumb."
-
And this was true as far as the old woman
was concerned, for the whole of her work con
sisted in drilling one little hole in a small steel
plate, with a little machine which resembled a
tiny spinning wheel. Her daughter was seated
at another little machine, and was merely ma
king a little alteration in the hole which her
mother had drilled; and six hundred of stick
holes must be made before they could earn
three francs.
DISAPPOINTED LOVE—Probable Murder of a
Young Girl and Attempted Suicide.—An affair
occurred at Boston, on Wednesday afternoon,
which came near terminating fatally to two
persons, one of whom is yet in danger. It ap
pears that Albert Dittmer, a young man about
twenty years of age, was some months since
paying attentions to Margaret Pedre, a fine
looking girl not quite sixteen years old, whose
mother is dead, and who has been officiating as
housekeeper for her father. For some reason
she discarded him, and since that time be has
been endeavoring in vain to obtain a renewal
of the friendly relations between them. He
went to the house, and saw her in the presence
of her father. At the close of the interview he
said be had something he wished to give her,
and which he wanted to deliver with no one
else present. He then went into an adjoining
room, and with some reluctance she followed
him. As soon as she entered the room and
closed the door, he drew a double-barrelled
pistol, and placing it against her neck dis
charged one of the barrels. The father of the
girl was close by the door, and rushed into the
room and wrenched the pistol from Dittmer,
who was apparently about to discharge the
contents of the other barrel into his own per
son. Dittmer then rushed out of the house,
and running across the street jumped into the
water, then aboutfive feet and a half deep, with
the intention of drowning himself. Several
persons saw him, one of whom jumped in and
bald his heed above the water till he could be
got out. lie was soon after delivered into the
custody of policeman Finsun. The girl is not
expected to recover.
How TIIEY SaTTLE TAME'S' DIPPIIILENCRS IN
INDIA.—In the British Provinces in the East
Indies, they have an easy way of settling dif
ferences between the custom house officers and
the importers. If the custom home officers
con i ler the price named for a certain quantity
of goods in the invoice too low, they have a .
right to buy the goods at the price named in
the invoice, and the merchant is paged to sell
at that price. In this country importera have
to submit to the opinion of the appraisers, and
the only alternative left to them is to pay the
duty and sue for it afterwards.
