Tar tedious and disgusting CMS of "111.otcaatorr " r. Mattcnnotrr," after occupying the time of the Divorce Court for seven dap, has at length come to a close. The finding of the Jury establishes that in their judgment the husband has been guilty of what, in law, amounts to cruelty, and that there has been nothing un the part of the wife which in law amounts to condonation. On this finding Mrs. Maltaittosr is entitled to a decree of judicial separation, wilts, on application made, the ledge grants a rule mia for • new trial, and the full Court makes such rule absolute. This very *lethal inquiet has supplied • forcible illustration of the wisdom of the Napoleonic adage, which re commends people to wash their dirty linen at home. This unlucky pair have rejected the sound and salabsiess advice, and the public have been made a party to the mineable history of their gross nano duct sad their sordid brawls. The sardonic serenity of Sr CILISSWW. Ceram% zu. must have been taxed to the utmost by the ignoble task imposed apes him, and the most unlimited appetite kw scandal must have beer. long since cloyed by the wearisome repetition of all that is moat masseuse and revolting in the quarrels of matrimony. Such • picture of an interior was won( before preeented. On the cate side was thm widow of • tavern-keeper, well advsassd in middle life, without famdy, with • foams of wow, and a somewhat developed teadiney to sherry—a woman, to judge from the evidence, of bat temper and sharp tongue, • keen mass of the value of money, and a morbidly irritable jealousy. Oo the other side was • doweling minister of six and-thirty—a widower with two or three childrea— somewhat of a Lotharie it would seem—glib is speech, by no means dtfki.nt is culture, but weak' on the side of temper. 1 hat the 60,0001. had ease► thing at least to do with the &Mosso( his eou►tship wee the fixed belief of his " Carry7and, netwithaeutding the impassioned eioqueace of his profession to the contrary, will prohibit be the conclusion of the public. But the widower was not a needy man. Hie chapel brought him in between 3001. sad 4001. a-year; his pen realised about ea much more. Still, eves to • man with the rooftrees 50,0001. counts for something ; it may at all events be supposed to have added to the matrimoinal attraction/ of a widow who, " not to pet tee fine a point on it," can hardly have been lass than ten years his maim. Obviously here were all the elements requi site for the prodoctiift of an unhappy anion. They were not long in developing their natural results. The inaletnesey of mutual di►like and distrust set in with the very comma mann of the honeymoon, and raged without intermission until the close of the cohabitation. Some eight months of bitter and incessant wrangling, of vile imputations, of oatha, of outrages, of personal ♦iolesoe, filled up the inter space; till the lady, who had some helf•dotten times made her escape and been brought back again, succeeded in finally breaking away from the ocean bial endearments of her ill-selected sparse. Then followed tezal proceedings on her part—letters of prostrate and unmanly adulation on his. We have no inclination to rake into the contents of this very foul buck-basket, and expose in still greater prominence what this extremely ill-advised couple ought carefully to have coeoealed from the public gaze. The jury have fennel that the conduct of Mr. Ilexennoer to hie wife amounted to legal erselty within the true meaning of that phrase, as elaborately explained to them by the learned Judge of the Divorce Court. As mere readers of the evidence, we should certainly not have been sur prised had the verdict been the other way. The amount of provocation received by the husband Deems to Lave been enormous, nor do his seta of violence, blameable se they undoubtedly were, appear to have so far exceeded the limits of the occasion as to have fallen within the legal definition of cruelty. But in dealing with a vast mw of evidence such as has been brought forward on this °cession, those who only read cannot venture to put their judgment in competition with those who have both heard sod seen. This is precisely one of those Mee in which the demeanour and man ner of the parties and *imams is even a more portant aid to the formation of • right coanlesion than the fact' and statements deposed to. Had this outs been tried, as before the change of the law it would have beep, on written depositions, it is highly probable that in the opinion of the single judge with whom the deasicia would then bays rested, the charge of legal malty might not have been sustained. The Jury, who have seen and heard all the witsewee, who have bed wary opportunity of testing the statements wale oo either side, by those minute circutnstances Of Wm. ImPral• lion, end gesture, by which we all Mem oar own judgments of oar fellow-creatures in everyday life, have some to toe eonclasion—for seek is the malt of their finding—that the wife's story is mere ay ditite than the husband's. We have every inclina tion to accept their judgment on this point se final, and we trust that no attempt will be made —se, if made, that it will be made in vain—to hays the cam submitted to another jury. After all it is difficult to see how the interests' of weal morality could have been promoted by refusing to ides. hit ItCIINOST the Fetid she sought. To have forced two such natures swan ender the yoke of a' most miserable wedlock could ham realised no ' other end than that of asking the husband • tile pensioner on a reluctant wile. It is more than ' probable that the eagerness with which' the hus band resisted the wife's petition was attributed by the jury to the same meruenary . class 4ar motives that unquestionably actuated him first possessing himself of her hand. _ Read by this light, his impassioned and imploring letters would asturaUy tell very strongly against the writer. As it is, Mr. MARCIIMONT, who gave up his chapel on his marriage, will very likely be a con siderable offerer, in a pecuniary point et view, by the result of the cause. But if this be so, who will pity him? He has simply, with his eyes open, made the worst of all bad speculations—that of mar rying ler money a widow who turns out a vixen. He has probably, at some time or other, chosen as a text for his discourse to others the great truth that " the love of money is the root of all evil." Henceforth he will have ample leisure, which it may be hoped will be diligently improved, of meditating on this precept for hie own instruction. The came, when reduced to its essentials, is after all nothing more than this : A cultivated man marries an uncultivated woman for gold ; his reward is that, after a year of misery, the law steps in, puts an end to all his hopes of matrimonial emolument, and leaves him poorer than before, by the loss of his professional position and the costs of defending a most enormously expensive suit. " Maricastorir e. MARCRMONT," after wasting seven days of the public time and filling many pages of email type, is but an authority for one of the most elementary points that has ever been laid down in the text books of Matrimony. Reim fleeing in the great mystery of wedlock might safely be left to predict the chancel of connubial felicity that await an irritable widower of thirty-six who marries for money a stingy and short tempered widow of fifty. gbt Court.

Ifft reallefieff • decidedly favourable ratter to that the peat hw dap, but there was still much tors for ta provsouit. The seam in which military spestacles are at all an at atithe exhibition has pared for this year. For though the heat and duet of a summer day are unfavourable reareales to • review, they do not miler military evolu tions so difficult and unertsfamory as when the troops are wading over their ankles in land, sad the srpotatere are almost froetbltten by the keen wind. The spectacle, therefore, of yesterday, such as it was, presented something, unfortuniasir, more like the real dinoteforte of ' campaigning than all the holiday shows of Bald-days, sham ' tattler, and siege operations, which usually °empire the programme of Alderebott /dte days. It has for some time been known that it was her Melody's desire to pay a visit of inspection to the troops previous to her departure for Osborne, but the unprecedented severe and wet weather which has prevailed for the pest fortnight has from day to day delayed the date of the royal visit. There was not much choice left of the way In which the Inspection of the troops should take place. To march them to the open Eros which forms the usual review ground would be, in the present semi-Bob condition of the ground, of coarse impossible, and simply to parade them in front of their aureaments would not be rtiffi neatly ceremonious to befit the occasion of a royal reit; it was therefore decided to march the little army in its full active service equipment from the camp r fax as Fernley to meet the royal sortige. The troops were paraded at 111118 o'clock in their active service fall marching order, and before tan o'clock the whole force were marching towards Frimley In fmr brigades, each formed into continuous columns. The first brigade, under the command of Lord William Paulen, led the van ; it consisted of a field battery of artillery, the second battalion of the 13th Light Infantry, the let Stafford shire Militia, the North Cork Rifle* and the 3Gth Light Infantry. The second brigade followed under the command of General Laurence, comprising • field battery, a detachment of Royal Regrew% the 9th Regiment of Foot, the East Rest Militia, the Oxfordshire Militia, and the Watt York Mae. The 3rd brigade, com manded by General the Hon. flpieser, consisted of a Bald battery of artillery, the 47th Retreat the Stirliogshfre Militia, and the North Down Mar Tie Cavalry Brigade was commanded by General Leurentroa, and consisted of a troop of Hone Artillery, the 4th Dragoon Guard., and the 10th Unseat.. The B Mallon of the Military Train, and Ambulance Corp., with a guard of the North Down Rifles, brought up the rear. Thus the whole division concocted of eleven regiments of infiurry, two meaner of cavalry, twenty-four guns, a detachment of lengthier sad • battalion of the Military Train, in all about 12,000 or 13,000 men—a Very :erectable force to move with facility even for a few miles along a turnpike-road. The column took the direct route along the Winoltester-road, passing through the crop scree the railway bridge at the Fern berough-station of the South Weaken line through Yarborough and Frimley to ?finality-green, upon the advance guard, reaching which place this whole column, which attended fur several miles along the road, halted to await the arrival of the royal party. It Is needier to say that the toad, at all times muddy, was by the continued traffic trodden Into a complete parte, which of course spread heel( over the lower extremities, forming a universal though sot • pleasing oddities to the varied uniforms. Her rejoin, and those who aceempared bar ware no less early on the move than the troops, kern left Windsor Castle shortly alter 10 o'clock in the arming. The royal party, which toss led of the Qatar the Prince Consort, the Princess Altos, the Duch= of Queen, the Hon. Mary Bolter, Lard Cherie. Fitaroy, Lord Alfred Puget, Cdonal the Hon. A. Harding., to., drove across the otaratry as far as Primley-ooenmen, where they arrived at about half-past eleven. The horses having been changed, the Queen, accompanied by the Prince Consort, who was attired he the nudism uniform of a general officer, and a large Nag took ap their stations on Frimley-green. The column of troops was again eat In motion, and marched past the Queen's euriage without carrying arms or dipping the °elates, is feet ia tartly the same order as if on a long march. The apperanee of the troops in heavy marching order, encumbered by all the useful but inelegant porsories of active service, if sot so gay as when on parade is infinitely mote martial, and impresses the spectator with the ides that he is witnessing • really effective military force and not • mere holiday procession. The discipline of the troops seemed shelters: regiment after regiment, as they rounded the enclosure and defiled past the Staff, stepping as ens man, showed ,bst, too plainly the strict training they had been under, and the adorns's, now so gravelly adopted, of teaching the troops to sot together, not in regiments but In large brigades and dirtiest The Queen remained standing daring the whole time occupied by the passing of theoolumn, upward, sf an hour and • halt. After paring through Frimley the column struck into a cross-road, and after making a circuit of • couple of mile again formed on the are read to the camp, a little beyond the Farnborough Station. After the parsiag of the rear guard the royal party drove rapidly in the direction of the camp, again meeting the head of the column as it emerged upon the Aldershotteroad. The &WO* took up their station on the edge of Cool-common, where it remained until the maps had filed pasta second time, which second inspection did sot terminate until about half-past two &rook. As era as the rear guard of the little army had entered the r morel of the Camp, the Queen and the sure drove of to the Royal Pavilion, where they partook of • hasty lunch, and again started for Windsor Castle shortly after half-past three. The peaty, as they returned through the Camp, were received with the customary royal salute. It Is understood that the Queen expressed herself especially gratified at the perfect stale of discipline is which the whole of the troops composiag the division were kept. It la not expected that her Majesty will earn rest Aldershott before next spring. GOVERNMENZ ECONOMY AND THE MINE POET SERVICE. It is only on occasions of groat public calamity, gaol as the disestrous Crimean winters of 1864-66, that the gross mismanagement and ruinous expense attending the routine system of transacting government business comes to light; yet scarcely • day pares that some most glaring blunder I. not eiressaitted by some deoartassat or another, akhoagh they du not become the subjects of public tommeat unless their malts are peculiarly disaatrous. A case which bog jet occurred wool/ certainly vie with anything which the Crimea Commission brought to light.

Military Gazette of Vienna discusses the ,of the Valley of the Dappes to Prance from egetio point of view. It sees in that melon er to the Italian possessions of the Austrian While Switzerland is mistress of the Valley Dappes and of its heights, it can close the road of St. Cergue and the pays de Vaud, as well as the road from France to Geneva and Oex ; but it France possessed the Pass of the Dapped, she would enoonnter no other military obstacle from Saline to Nyon and to the shore of the Lake of Geneva, not to mention that the Valley of the Dappes connects the pays de Geer with the heart of France. The Gazette adds some political considerations. By Virralt article of the final act of the Congress of Vienna it is declared that " the Valley of the Dappes, which formerly belonged to the canton of Vend, is restored to it . ' The canton cannot, there fore, cede the territory without the consent of Switzerland, nor can Switzerland do so without the consent of the great Powers. Sack at least is the argument of the Vienna journal. "We learn from Berne that this cession is meeting with great opposition in Switzerland. The federal government was in the 'lraq instance well disposed to oblige France, and the military authorities of the Confederation saw no objection; but national feeling has since been brought into play, and a lively oppo sition to the project is on foot. Memorials are cir culated and numerously signed, demanding that not an inch of the national territory shall be surren dered. THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. VIENNA, Nov. 30.

On December 2, the anniversary of the battle of Austerlitz, and the coup d'etat of 1851, the Emperor will be present at the inauguration of the new barracks at the Chitean d'Eure, which will hold 4,000 men. M. de Toqueville, the eminent writer, is &inget ouly ill at Cannes. The Times, Daily News, and Express are again seized to-day. The Beane hu been dull during the greater part of the day ; and although it was a little firmer at the close of buiness, the Rents, which left off at yesterday's price for cash, closed for account at 74fr. 40e., with a fall of 10e. Mobilier fell 2fr. 500. All the other railways were 2fr. 500. lower. It is stated in a lithographed political corre spondence, that A Frenchman named Demoslin, who has long melded in Madagamer, and has attained as elevated raak in the army, was lately received is a private audience by Princes Napoleon, and that he premed upon the Prins the importance of an *algal= into the interior of that country, where he assured him the most ea lighteasd part of the populating eatertain the warmest sym pathies for France. It is stand that K. Dunedin hopes to obtain an interview with the Emperor to urge similar views. We d 3 not know whether the Imperial maim* will be granted, neither do we know wheats( the penmen, la qua dos, who semi anxious to play • part similar to that General d'Orgoul in Burnish, may not wide, for purposes of persona ambition, to entangle the Franca navy in a rash ex psalm. As to this we rely upon the prudence of the government, but this muck is certain that aa expelitita to Madagascar would not only be agreeable to K. VeMilot, but would, to a certain extent, deter the vanity of everybody. It would appear that maritime conquests are owning into fashion. Two very absurd duels were fought this after noon. A few days since an article written in the Flgaro by M. Lucas, one of the redadeurs of that journal, made some allusions to the despicable class of society denominated " fancy men." The article— whisk I have not seen—was so worded as to excite the susceptibility of If. Plunkett, the brother of Madame Doche, and the manager of the Palais Royal Theatre. He accordingly sent a challenge to If. Lucas. That gentleman answered that he could by no means admit that the article in question afforded a pound for a duel, because there was nothing in it referring in the remotest way to M. Plunkett, and he therefore refused to fight upon that ground, but said that if M. Plunkett was really bent upon fighting he had only to insult him. It appears that the required insult was given, for an arrangement was made for a hostile meetiug at Ville d'Avray at two o'clock this afternoon. In the meantime a certain M. Naquart came to the office of the Figaro and complained that he had called there several times while M. Villesnot was the editor without finding anybody ready to fight. M. de Villemessant, who after having retired for some months halo the dirsetion of that journal, has lately resumed his former position, gave it to be understood that he was ready in his own person to give "satisfaction * to a gentleman who seemed so exceedingly anxious to get it. Duel No. 2 was therefore arranged, to come off at the same time and place as that of MM. Lucas and Plunkett. M. Lucas's aeon& were M. Noires, the director of the Flgare Programme, and M. Rousseau, a red.ic. taw of the Figaro. M. Plunkett way accompanied by M. Ravel, the celebrated comic actor, and a M. Donafilac. M. de Vlllemessant's seconds were a gentleman of fortune, named de Merril* and 11. Jahyes, of the /Vero. I have not heard the names of M. Naquart's seconds. The sport resulted in blood being drawn from all thefour oombanante,bat happily without any serious injury to any of them. I do not for a moment mean to insiouate that the fight was a ahem. On the contrary, I am persuaded that nothing but the fortune of war preview(' the sacrifice of life and limb in this miserable quarrel. Both the duels, I should have said, were fought with swords. The ground selected was near the ponds of Ville d'Avray, the two sets of combatants befog abOut a hundred yards apart. Owing to the late rains the pound was Wily springy. M. Locos, who Is an old Alge rian officer, was touched on the shoulder after three hinges, and he pricked his adversary in the right nipple. M. de Villemeasant received first the point of the sword on his left breast, and in return drew blood from the left temple of M. Naquart. After these achievements the seconds declared that " honour was satisfied," and all the parties returned to Paris together by the next up train.

The prophecies in which many people are fond of indulging, of the settlement of the slavery agitation when once Kansas is removed from the field, are already in a fair way of being Waded, al Kansas can hardly yet be said to be laid on th:i h s o S t . The Southern politicians are already preparing new " issues" on which to prolong the contest. The latest is one intended specially u a stumbling-block for Douglas to break his neck over. They demand not simply that slaves may be carried into the territories in the terms of the Dyed Scott decision, and be there lawfully held, but that Congress shall legislate fen their protection, no matter what the people of the territory may say or think on the subject. Thie of course disposes of the popular sovereignty doctrine completely, and if the Southerners sume, in making it a party shibboleth it will plate Douglas in a very awkward position by the time the next nomination comes round, as he has taken distinct ground on the opposite side during his canvas in Illinois. the fol lowers are, however, in the meantime singing weans over his triumph, and whatever his future may be, he is beyond all question the man of the present. His position, however, during the two years which intervene before the next election is likely to prove one of extreme difficulty, as Congress will spend that period not so much in legislating as in framing and voting resolutions and acts the sole object of which will be to test the opinions of prominent men. The extent to which this is carried in the legislative lodise would seem incredible to you, though you complain so loudly of the "buncombe" and partisan- Chip of the House of Commons. The amount of real Istalation done in Congress during the latter half of the Presidential term is infinitesimally small. Every member is intent on " defining his position," *ad making the definition as marked and as well known as possible, in order that it may be remem bered by his constituents afterwards what ground he took in such a year, at such a one's election. What is the remedy it would be hard to say, but the evil is certainly horrible. I said somet►ing in my last letter upon the oleo , Rice of judges by the popular vote. A marked ex ample of the evils of the system has occurred within the last few days. The incendiaries who burnt down the quarantine hospitals at Staten Island were, as you are aware, examined at great length attar the riot before the county judge. All the evidence and counsel on both sides were duly heard. The defence did not deny any of the facts, but contented themselves with justifying them as legal under the circumstances. The judge has just. pronounced his decision, discharging the defendants, and justifying their conduct in a long and elaborate opinion. Now, Ido not mean to say that he has not acted with perfect conscientiousness throughout ; but inasmuch as the county judge is elected by the inha bitants of the county, and inasmuch as the inha bitants of Richmond county were unanimous in instigating and applauding the quarantine outrage, every one concludes, is a matter of course, that the judge had an eye, in delivering his judgment, to the next election, and his conclusions hays no mote had weight than if they were those of a stump orator. They are criticised and denounced by the press and the public under this aspect. Some of the legal propositions ha lays down are certainly monstrous, but it would be hard to imagine a worse evil than a generally received opinion that the judiciary is never to be depended on in times of great popular excite ment. In fact, whenever a political question, or • question with political bearings, comes before the tribunals nowa-days, the political opinions of the judges are discussed with as much eagerness as those of the members of the Legislative Assembly would be on the eve of a division. The great topic of the quidnunos (or the last few days has been Edward Everett's extraordinary undertaking to write for the New York Ledger, a twopenny weekly magazine, circulating nearly three hundred thousand copies, somewhat resem bling the London Journal, only much inferior. It is filled with tales of the " Demon Cabman," the "Maiden's Revenge," the "Ty rant ' s Vault," and a great variety of " mysteries" and " revelations ;* and, in short, barring its general decency of lan guage, belongs to as low and coarse an order of literature as any publication in the world. The proprietor was four or Ave years ago a journeyman printer, but by lavish use of puffery in aid of this periodical has amassed a large fortune, dist Barnum. He wrote to Edward Everett a few days ago offering to pay over to the Ladies' Mount Vernon Associa tion in aid of the purchase of the house and tomb of Washington—a project in which Mr. Everett is greatly interested—the sum of 10,000 dots., in cue the latter would undertake to write one article in the Ledger every week for one year. To the astonish ment of the whole Union the ex-ambaaeador, ex secretary of state, ex-president of Harvard University, ex-editor of the " Cheek Reader," the scholar, the exquisite, the one aristocrat of " the universal Yankee nation," has aooepted the proposal ; the money has been paid over, and he begins a series of oxitnbutions, to be entitled the " Mount Vernon Papers," in a few weeks, and Bonner, the proprietor of the publication, will, no doubt, shortly fat the whole sides of the newspapers with announcements of the fact. If you knew the sensation which this incident has caused here amongst genteel people you would hardly expect me to add a line to my letter after reciting ft.

The weekly return of births and deaths in London issued by authority of the Registrar- General, for the Ts* ending Saturday, Nov. 27, shows the rates of mortality to be unusual ty heavy. In the first week of this month the death s were 1,217, in the two following weeks they were 1,349 sal 1,487, and in the week ending last S aturday they ?tie fa 1,802. The mean temperature of the air in the heat week November was 43,3 der. ; in the last three weeks it wen successively 39 deg., 36.5 deg., and 37.4 deg. W attempting at present an exact appreciation of meat meteorological conditions in relation to health, it is mildent to state that the mortality of the month attained its high,* point, stitch was far above the average, in a w e al s / * kb the thermometer fell 12 dag below the freezing point of water, and frost was then soddenly exchanged for heat stnl moisture. faTheten years 1848-67 the average number of deaths ig the Week,/ corresponding with last wet k wu 1,150; but se the 1,802 deaths now returned occurred in an increased population they should be compared with the average whom the latter hie be= raised in proportion to the increase, aorrection which will make it 1,266. Hence it appears that 637 persons died let week in excess of ihe number that would hue died if only the average rue of mortality for the sod of November had prevailed. A oompariscoi of the results of the last two weeks exhibits an increase, more or less important, in all the classes bit which the causes of death are distributed. Deaths from symotic diseases increased from 366 in the previous week to 418 laat week ; constitutional diseases from 253 to 263 ; local (which include those of the reviratory organs) from 695 859; developmental from 131 to 174, and violent death frau 35 to 42. To take some spemal diseases ; scarlatina incrust is the two weeks from 133 to 163 plithisia from 166 to 190; bronchitis from 211 to 910 ; pneumonia from 166 to only 169; asthma from 20 to 28. . three men and five women are recorded who had attained the age of 90 years or upwards. The two oldest were women, who died at the age of 97 years. Let week the births of 840 boys and 921 girls, in all 1,761 &Sidra), were registered in Lmden. In the ten °mescal& Intl mina of the years 1868-57 the avenge number wee 1,608. The Glasgow papers narrate a story of a roman* elopement from Kildare, Ireland, ending in a marriage at Glasgow. The young lady's friends objected to his lover on the ground of his protests/aim The alga polntment of tie couple was great on Boling that a maiden of twenty-one days in the county was necessary previous Is the celebration of the ceremony.
