LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, THE DIVORCE BILL TO Tf7 IDITOI OF TIM =PR & Sta,—As the surely-enacted Law et Divorce may be considered essentially a woman's law, I trust you will allow me to offer through your columns to the public a woman's opinion on a measure which inti mately affects the welfare and the happiness of her countrywomen. Without denying that this new enactment will remedy some of the very serious' grievances under which the married women of England have hitherto laboured, I do emphatically assert that this act, valuable in several respects as it may be, is yet ob noxious to the reproach of flagrantly contravening in certain of its provisions the principles of justice as well as the Gospel code of morality : That the principles of justice are violated by this enactment can be easily shown, by a simple state ment as to the respective position of husband and wife in regard to matrimonial unfaithfulness, under the action of this new law. The wife who infringes her marriage vows is instantly amenable to punish ment. The tie she has dishonoured may be imme diately unloosened. Her children are removed from her contaminating influence. By the means of the newspapers her shame, made known in a public trial, is published through the length and breadth of the land. Severely is she punished—severely, but justly too ; for the wife who proves false to her highest duties deserves that a heavy retribution for her sin should fall upon her head. But how stands the case with the delinquent hus band? In very teeth, I know wertiow to describe his position under this law except as that of one whose right to indulge, with certain light restrictions, in the pleasures of polygamy has been solemnly asserted and confirmed by the legislature. For what says do act on the subject of adultery committed by the husband? Does it not exprray declare that un hithfulness on his part, unless accompanied by ertralty, by bigamy, and still more gross offences, gives the wife no claim to demand a divorce from her offending partner ? Now, though it would be • calumny to assert that the majority of married Englishmen would be disposed to take advantage of the virtual license to profligacy thus bestowed, yet from incidents that are forced upon one's knowledge through the whispsers of the private circle, or the columns of the public prints, the fact stands out palpable and distinct, that amongst the class m question there is to be found • far from insignificant number of in dividuals fully inclined to avail themselves of the Muhometan privileges which for the first time clearly and unequivocally have been conferred on rich and poor alike by the legislature of this country. " Sin at your peril," says the new law to the wife ; one single lapse from virtue shall have power to drive you from your home, to dissolve the mar riage tie, to consign you to public infamy, to reduce you it mat be from effluence to poverty." " Sin if you please, says, on the contrary, the law to the husband, " on condition you reside with your wife occasionally, and do not maltreat her personally ; end provi ded you thus abstain from actual deser tion and from actual cruelty, we restrict you not in the number of your mistresses ; we give you full permission to enjoy their society, even under the roof that shelters your wife, and we acknowledge your right to obtain a release from your unfaithful partner for the same offence in her of which you may hare set her the example first." Truly, with each an act before us, with such principles clearly laid down by the legislature, we women have every reason to raise • loud protest against the flagrant deficiency in point of justice of the act relating to divorce which has been the produce of the recently terminated session of parliament. " The grievance of the wife is a mere sentimental one," said a member of the House of Commons in support of the distinction made; but surely, if the utterer of that remark had reflected duly on the sub ject, and had reflected on the deep misery resulting almost invariably to the wife front the grievance designated in this slighting way, he would have refrained from characterising an English wife's deepest injury by such a contemptuous phrase; " Love is of mans life • thing apart—'tins woman's whole existence, " was most truly said ; and the keenest pangs that women feel result from the lace ration of their affections. The husband, unhappy in domestic life, may find in the world without, in work of head or hand, in the pursuit of riches, in the stimulus of ambition, abundant sources of interest to attach him to existence. But the wife, the unfor tunate partner of an unworthy husband—the wife, whose avocations, thoughts, and wishes, hopes and fears, wander not beyond the precincts of her own fire-side—how utterly, bow irretrievably is her happiness wrecked on the shoal of marital neglect, unkindness, and more especially, unfaithful ness. For whilst this latter injury almost invariably implies the existence of the two first-mentioned sources of suffering, it contains in itself a sting so sharp, so keen that no frown, no angry word, nor even the hasty blow of passion dealt by a husband's hand, has the power to inflict upon the wife such pain as the thought, the feeling, the conviction that another woman reigns supreme over the heart that once was hers. By day and night that remem ' brance, fed by the fuel of unkind glances and unkinder words, burns in her brain, consumes j her peace, and leads her, if meek-spirited, to the grave ; or, if hot-tempered, goads her on to sin. " A sentimental grievance !" Truly en injury that bears such fruits, that preys like • canker on the heart, and destroys the bnght promise and fresh bloom of life, deserves to be designated in nil pro priety by some more opprobrious term. j • Ifjustice condemns the distinction made between the sexes in this new act, no less repugnant will that distinction be found to be to the gospel code of morality. So evidently is this the case, that whilst on all questions connected with the m oral law, the Scriptures are almost invariably referred to as an authority and guide upon some disputed point, not one single text was adduced in this particular in stance to support the doctrine that adultery was simply a feminine crime. How, indeed, could it be otherwise, when every reader of the New Testament knows full well that parity of thought and chastity of conduct us therein enjoined equally on man and women? How presumes then the legislature to degrade the beauty of the Christian faith, to weaken the check it places on man's sensual passions, and so in the very point that agrarian" most this faith Isom every . other form of religion which has existed or still exists, to establish distinctions by the high hand of law at variance with the public good, as well as destructive of private happiness. Let not the cods of the world's opinion be brought in to justify a sin. If the standard of right and wrong that the world rats up is opposed to the teachings of our faith, the law should strive to raise up that code to what it ought to be, end not to sink itself to a debased level. Powerfully do the vices of domestic life tell on the national cha meter, and from the homes where mutual love, and trust, and confidence between husband and wife cannot be found, proceeds a race but little cal sedated to reflect honour on their country's name. Injustice bears always an avenging sword ; and man sea do no wrong to woman, in regard to her social rights, of which the consequences will not re-act most prejudicially on himself. History, both pest and present, tells moat forcibly . that tale ; but the Leon taught thus impressively is for the most part overlooked or scorned in the prompting* of sel sees, and in the tendency that universally exists of the strong to oppress the weak— influences to which we Englishwomen owe that provision in the new act conferring on the in jured husband • relief that under corresponding circumstances is denied to the injured wife. But it may be said,. why denounce this act or any portion of this act, since the new law, while it de prives no English wife of any privileges she has hitherto enjoyed, remedies some serious grievances under which she has been labouring? Granted; but while admitting that such a statement racorrect, ' there still exist stiong reasons for maintaining that 8, 1887. women are fairly justified in expressing dissatisfac tion with the measure in quests n. Under the old state of things the principle of the English law being adverse to divorce, this relief could only be obtained as a special privilege by the rich at a high cost; and thus, practically speaking, the English husband and wife, as far as the great mass of the community was concerned, stood on the same footing, the marriage knot being for them both equally indissoluble. Now, however, when the former partial privilege has become a general one, and the principle of divorce has been recognised by law, the limitation of relief to one sex alone in a great degree, not only makes the pri vation on the other aide more difficult to be borne, but gives fresh vitality and force to the doctrine that conjugal unfaithfulness is a mere peccadillo in a husband - . Besides, in this present era of progress and improvement when the marks of intolerance and prejudice are being rapidly effaced from the statute book of England, the women of this country had reason to expect that in a nation which arrogates to itself a foremost place in the ranks of freedom, intelligence, and civilisation, legislation, when it did make an onward movement in their behalf, should not still have left them in a position, as regards their social rights, inferior to that enjoyed by their sex in other lands. MARTHA LENNOX. LATTA!? FROM INDIA. The following letter (says the Glasgow Doily Nag) is how ea oaleer fa the Mabee praidisey to •p' timer' in °know. The pliant officer has bean ihhey ran ha ladle " Walfam, Vizagepetern, July 17, 1867. " Thanks for your most kind letter, which 1 recolved • couple of days ago. In tree times of trouble and wrier tarty, I am slue that you will be glad to have it under my own hand end seal that our bade are comfortably on our own shoulders, end that, so far as human foresight goes, matters look well for us in Southern India. Our ses oe have ham instan proved faithless ; they have been see tried, and Invited to strike a blow for native supremacy their religion. This Is a religious war, there is not a doubt of it ; but it is one excited by • mall party, no doubt of Mahomedsna. In this party the Ring of Delhi and the ei-K ing of Oude, and their selective fami lies, are deeply interested— implicated, I should rather say. The inetigators of this rebellion knew that Lord Canning had about as much intention of coercing th em into Christianity as I have of preaching Brahminiem in Glans, Cathedral; and, whatever may be rid to the contrary, I enure you that perfect neutrality has ever been the attitude of the Indian government on this question. When the notion was once got into the minds of the sepoys and people it spread like wild-fire; awl so deep was the impression, and Is, that we were determined on forcible conversion, that even the well disposed Kends:den In Oude, who humanely gave protection to our poor fugitive*, were afraid to eras the Gauges for fear of being made Chrietians, and even wretches and murderers on the gallows, when about to pay the forfeit of their crimes, of their good-for-nothing lives. have shouted out that, if spared, they would be glad to become Christians. We hope that the tide has begun to turn, or, at least, that it is now high water in this torrent of disaster. It is difficult, it is impossible to exaggerate the magnitude of this min fortune—of this terrible crisis. The whole of the Bengal native army, with an insigniacent exception, is gone—guts only in the Army List. In two months it has melted away; its officers basely slain under their own colours; their wire —how shall I write it I—dishonoured first, in many mess, and then murdered, the children being often car into the flames of the burning houses before the eyes of the still living parents, or hewn in pieces. The details are too re. wiling, and such things may sot Le printed; even now it is with suppressed breath and grinding teeth that w' erg of them. It is little of an ezeggeraticn Wry that we hunger and thirst foe the day of retribution—gray It is et band ; for every European murdered at leer a hundred of thane dogs hare died, and that has yet to be multipled by ten. Nothing could exceed the confuses. The country, from ten mar out of Calcutta up the greet trunk road to the Sidl) was lost; nothing remained but what was within range of the muskets of the European sol diers. We bad the ground on which they stood no mote. For upwards of a month the Govemor-Oeseral knew nothing that was going on above Berra; not • line reached him; all was uncertainty. At lase the government, rather than publiab nothing, were driven to publish scraps out of letters of native bankers. In this way they published in general orders the fall of Delhi when it had not fallen; and, when I now writ* (July 17), we do not know, although we hope that it has et last lallm ; and Lord Canning was no better informed so UM as the 10th and Ilth inst. Banana was saved by the &saner of Colonel Neill and the let Madras Fusiliers. Angelis& • name that will long be remembered with sorrow and with game in our annals., was recovered by the afro officer. Cawnpore, we hope, but are not sum re been relieved, although two days ego it was believed that brave old Sir Hugh Wheeler had been killed, and the email eyries, with all the haplere women end children, put to the word.

From the evidence it iippeand that the pri mmer had been in the service of the time about eighteen month', and wes generally employed SS an assistant m the warehouse. It was also a part of his duty to ton k up the warehouse every night, and take the keys home with him. The deers of the wareboare are fastened by a hung-look attached to • swing iron bar, and by a couleon door lock. The prisoner, with H. De Silva, was engaged in the warehouse until nix o'clock on Friday even ing, and a little after that hour, bulb left the place, the doors being fine properly secured, and the prisoner then took the keyyss home with him. N. De Silva generally locked aphis watehauae cash in the iron safe, but on this occasion he left the cash box in his desk, of which the prisoner had the keys. las cash-box contained 1104 in 61. and 10/.

A little before ten o'clock the same evening, the policeman on duty discovered the outer door of the warehouse open, and he consequently gave the alarm. On examining the premises, it wee found that the hang-lock was gone, the watchcase door was locked with the ordinary lock, the double doors inside were open, as were also the door of the counting house, and H. De Silm's desk. The cash box containing the nioney had been also taken away. BtUlfiCioll attaching to the prisoner, H. De Silva, accompanied by the police, went to Croolmal's resident.* in Somers-street. They found the young man in bed, and on arousing him he dented any knowledge of the rubbery, and loudly proclaimed his inno cence.

SERIOUS DEFALCATION IN A CANADIAN WORKING OP TUE 1171CJLASE SYSTEM. General Sir lames Simpson is a stout champion of the purchase system. In his evidence before the commis sioners, be advocated it u raistranae. No fault could be found to it. To be sure, when pushed hard in cruse-examMation he contemned to • few finer.. But on the whole, he would not hear of giving it up. General Sir James Simpson, then, will be credited when his evidence goes to show that the purchase s ystem does not always save us from commande.re in their dotage. Hay Is what be says on this point : Sir Harry D. Jones—ln the course of your service have you ever met with any field officer in command of a regiment that was very much below par in point of age, and who may have attained that rank by purchase P-1 have known several aims who were unequal to the command of the regiments that they bald. I cannot say whether they pnrrLaed or not. Generally speaking, you do not find that field officers in command of regiments are boyeP—No, same are young men but Wale that I have had to deal with are pretty old end wider, but whether they purchased or not, I cannot say. I have had to report upon came of that kind several time.. You would my, that taking the British army gentiyall generally without regard to pi:Lychee., thefield office's mybe considered as a very etficient set of men think so. Aud generally, so far an age goes, quite capable of per forming their duties .—I ehould say so. Sir H. J. W. llentinck—You stated that you have had er asion to report cases where officers were inefficient P—Yes. Was your report attended to P—ln two instances that I recollect, not very long ago ; one man died and another is serving now ; it is not very may, I believe, for the authorities to deal with this subject. Chairmen—Why P-1 think it is difficult for the Cowman der-in-Chief just upon an inspection report of a general officer to score a man's name out of the army. Sir De Lacy Evens—But out of the command of a regi meal P—Even to do that, they are more anxious to try them on • little while. _ _ Chalresen—When an officer is reported even as unfit ? Ye,. . . Then the public service suffers very much from that, does It not P—Yes • no doubt of it. That the gixod•nature of the oommandiag officer puts the Wilk to rest disadvantage in that case B—The officer may bass redeeming qualities. The command of a regiment tea very important situation —Tea._ Mr. O. Carr Olyn—ln point of fact that neutralises the mhos of the reports P—An inspecting•general gets • new regiment into her hands, and very likely he has not had it more than two or three months before his inspection report became due, and then he finds an old gentleman in C4Ol - of this regiment, not very acute, unlit, and rimier, and be la bound to notice it. In thorn two instances that occur to me now, I did notice it ; one of those mentioned died and the other remains,. . . Sir De Ea ' e re Evans—The man who died was not moved. —No; I think he would have been moved. Ido not know hew that might have been. Colonel E. It. Wetherell—Would it not be very hard to remove a man from the command of his regiment, ezaept upon some specific charges against him t—Thera is the thing. The Commewler-an-Chief vary likely says, "It is all very well, General Simpeon, reporting this man so unfit, but I must have something . more tangible than that; some thing that I can act upon.' Or unless they increased the retirement very largely, you would lead a man to poverty?—Yes. Mr. G. Can Glyn—The commissioners have been told in evidence that then is great value in the reports of the inspecting general officer; but ft tame out that, in point of tact, those report. are not regarded at the Horse Guards,and their value goes for nothing t—There is greet attention paid to the inspectingruerid's reports in most cases • but that is a very di ffi cult point to deal with, that a man kilo be ruined sad scored off upon this mere ipso digit ; they would natu rally wait until they had a second report from another gene ral. I think that is the feeling in the Horse Guards. Colonel E. R. Wetherall—Do you think that if retire ments wen increased, sad en officer could retire upon the fall pay of his rank which he held, it would be lees objection*- , Me P—Yes ; only an officer would probably take offence upon a report. Those are just the men who give trouble, and who would require a comrt-martial, and then it is very difficult to deal with them, _ Sir IM Lacy ffivarte—ls it watery to have a cont martial to remove an officer from the command of a regiment? —No, I do not my that it is ; but mod of those men value themselves just as highly as the bed men do, and they would try to have an invedigation into the reasons of their die. metal, In thew of the two reports commenting upon those two officers that you made to the lions Guards. was soy further inquiry made by the Horse Guards f Was the Adjutant.

Gray," tried at Greenock, before the Justice of Peace Court, on the 15th ult., the Bench held that the In denture of a sea apprentice nu not binding without the con sent of the apprentice's father. Iderere. Hamlin and Co. accordingly wrote to the Board of Trade, requesting to be relieved of their expenses in the cane, on the ground that the form of indenture used waa that issued by the Board, and they bare received the following reply " Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Marine Thylrt-4,n, Whitehall, Aniust 29, 1867. " Gemtlenten ' —I am duetted by the Lords of the Com mittee of Privy Council fur Trade to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 18th inst., enclosing a report of • mat, decided by the magistrates of Oreemock,coneernang the bind ing of an apprentice to the see service without hie parents' cement. _ . . . " My Linda direct me to observe, in the first place, that if the principle adopted by the magistrates la correct, the law of Scotland with respen to binding of apprentices mud be different from that of England.—(See Benie Justice, title Apprenticeship, heading 11., and the gnus of indeateme there gives.) " In the second piece, my Lords observe that in the pre sent cane no reference whatever was made to the mode in which the present form of indenture of apprenticeship to the tee drioce came into use. The etatute 7 and 8 Viet., c. 112, and the form of apprentices indenture given in schedule I to that statute, was not mentioned. The act in question wee the float act by which the forme of indentures of apprentice =:.‘o the era service was determined. By section 40 pro wm made for the registration of these indentures, and it wee further provided that they should be made in the trim given in the abovementioned schedule. Neither in the section nor in the form is any reference made to the consent of the pest. On the contrary, the form is that of en indenture between two pertiee only—the ruder on the one hand, and the apprentice on the other. The ad intended to Scotland. "By section 20 of the Mercantile Marine Act 13 and 14 ✓iet., sap. 93, the Board of Tt Ade were empowered to sanction forma of the documents contained in the schedules to the act of 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 112, and to vary each forms ea in the manner therein mentioned. The form, when thus issued, would therefore, my lorde apprehend, take the place of the forms previously given in the schedules to 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 112, sad would probably be considered to have the same de gree of legal effect. " The power thug given to them the Beard of Trade exer clad, and issued, among other forme, a new torn of appren tices' indenture, which wee the same form that now in use. In so doing th e Board of Trade made each alterations in form and language as were necessary for the purposes of cone*. nonce and perspicuity, but they did not consider themselves at liberty to make alterations which would hart changed ma terially ' in effect and substance, what hod boon already ap proved by parliament. The form of indenture i-aued by them does not, therefore, in effect or eubstanoe, doter from that given in schedule 1 to 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 112, and deem not contain any mention of parties who were not referred to in that schedule, and whose consent, therefore, it cannot have been considered neceseary to refer to when the teat-men tioned act was pared. " The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, see. 8, continued the powers given to the Board of Trade by the Mercantile Ma rine Act, see. 20, and the forms of indenture now issued by virtue of those powers are, as above mentioned, the 'fame forms as those previously mated under the Mercantile Ma tins Ad. " Many thousands of apprentices have been registered ma nually miler the said forms since the peeing of the Act 7 and 8 Via, cap. 112, and the present is, so far as my Lords are aware, the that easels which the question of the neeeseity oe the parents' assent has hem raised. " Under these circumstances my Lords cannot abet that they are responsible in this case for the effect of the magis trate's dsdefan., and they cannot 'admit that they ate bound to may the exposes of a poreedmgwhich was not autho rised by than, or conducted under their direction. "They are, however , aware of the importance of the point raised by the ease so far an apprenticeships to the eta ser vice made to Scotland are coseeened, and they will lose no time in obta ining the opinion of the Lord Advocate upon it.

Mr. Cauchon, late Commissioner of Crown Lands in the Canadian government, has published in the Ammo! de Quebec an account of the recently discovered . .. , . .. &Mention ►y the crown lands &gnat at Toronto.' We make some entracte, adopting the Colonial, Emulation of the stitch : "A Wort time after, Mr. Cauchon nodi retood all the vice of the system which it was his duty to conduct, and after he had g iven orders that all letters and all burliness transacted in the department should pass directly through his hands, as he was ministerially responsible for all, some persons, reesipt in hand, came to him to complain that they had not received their patents, although they had paid long before the price of their lands to the agent of the crown, Mr. Barnes. "On marching in the hooka of the department, Mr. Gulch= discovered that the sums mentioned in them re ceipts had not been entered in the monthly reports of Mr. Dames. He sent immediately for M. Baines, who seat Mr. Shortie in his place. This gentleman endeavoured to justify his patron by saying that these amounts would be found not to have been entered in the books in consequence of the neg ligence of a clerk, of whom he had been obliged to get ria, on account of hie carelessnees, and he offered to replace them. "From that moment Mr. Cauchon had his suspicion., and he watched. In a short time he had gathered a dozen re ceipts similar to the first ; and of which the amounts were not included in the monthly reports of Mr. Baines. Besides this, the Commissioner not beteg aware of the feet, he did not make any report' for three months. Mr. Cauchon demanded these reports firmly, and they arrived at length, showing • receipt of 8,0001. which had not been paid Into the Bank to the credit of the Crown Lands Department. Seeing the storm coming, and that it could not be avoided, Mr. Heinen turned right about ; on being sent for again he declared that he would liquidate this debt with • heavy claim which he pretended to have against the government. It is easy to imagine the reply. A head of a department does not settle /upside/ with hie subaltern taken in the act of peculation. Mr. Cauchon demanded from Mr. Haines his agency books; be promiaed, but did riot give them up. Mr. Shortie, whom this affair alarmed, because it might destroy hie financial credit at the moment when he was en gaged in his largest speculatione,.prorented himself in turn, accompanied by an honourable c itizen of Toronto, to whose credit it most he said that he was more anxious to save the rah& property than his friends Messrs. B ai nes and Shortie. In the course of the conversation the Commissioner of Crown Lands led Mr. Sheltie who was overcome with emotion, to make some serious confessions. He admitted that the seven thousand and some hundred odd pounds which were entered in the last monthly report of Mr. Baines were received a long time before, and were not the half of the amounts actually received by him. He admitted, besides, that be and Mr. es had Bain employed in their private Lunfeees • large portion of these public fluid& " These etaternente, extracted morsel by morsel, were • valuable aid to the Commissioner of Crown Lands, who wishiel above all to save the sum due to the public. " It would have been early to promeute Mr. Baines for embezzlement, and perhaps to send him to the Penitentiasy but the law could not reach Mr. Shortie, who was not the crown land agent, but only the clerk of that agent employed and paid by him. Besides, Mr. Shortie had become the richer of the two. It was nec essary, then, to overcome the difficulty to employ ano ther lieu than the powerless arm of the law, and to make use of the lever of public opinion, which raises or abeam commer cial reputation as well as reputations of any other kind. Mr. Shortie, menaced with publicity of his acts, consented to make, co n jointly with Mr. Baines, a transfer of aU their property to the government, with the understanding that it would show itself as liberal as It could without wholly failing in it, duty. "1 he government ought, cost what ft may, to keep to this understanding, from respect for its mid, above all, because without this understanding Mr. S hortie would have kept his property. In fact, what interest would he have had to give it up if by this sacrifice he could not hays saved himself more from the stigma of public opinion than if he bad kept it? On the contrary, if he Lad kept it something would have remained after the Inas of reputation, and he would have retained poreestion of that pecu niary consideration which, under the sky of America, shel ters and saves all reputirtions, good and bad. "Eut be could not give up that which, on the day of his rusmage, he Lad settled on his wife, and which, according to the law of tipper Canada, he had placed for her benefit in the hands of trustees. Among these tentees was Mr. Philip Vankoughnet, who hes wince become minister of agriculture. He, then • simple citizen, could not be expected to be more of a rimed than all those commissioner. of crown lands and their clerks, who have regularly succeeded each other for fifteen year. without being able to ere robberies constantly committed, according to rule, by the crown land agents. "Nevertheless, the books of Mr. Being. were given rap and examined, and it was found that he was indebted about 30,000!., of which nearly B,OOW. appeared in the monthly reports. " The property of Mr. Blanes and that of Mr. Shortis were to remain m the hands of the government until it could Emceed in establishing the amount of the defalcation "Many plane were discussed, but at length it was resolved to make an equitable valuation of the property we have scl t ren of, and to take es much as would cover the debt. If mtirty would not do AO, then possession should be kept - of the whole, and there would at least be the consola tion of having got all that it was possible to obmin. We do net know whether the valuation was made, or what was the result ; but we can affirm that the Mirage is deceived re lative to the nature, the number, and the value of the pro perties of Messes. Baines and Shortie; and we will believe until proof is shown le the coattary, that they are quit; sufficient to cover this 0110‘111011.11 debt of 80,0001.
