There wee also a plea of condona tion, but it served merely to show that she bad many times forgiven her husband ' • while the fact that he had, after forgiveness, repe ated the marital injury, deprived the forgiveness of the legal effect belonging to condonation. The stress of the use. against her then lay in the accusation of adultery, in which two paramours were rug gested—Mr. NIOHOZA, a candidate for Orders, and Mr. MAIRHOVIS a barrister. As to the former it was alleged that he had slept with her in the Falcon Inn, in Birmingham, one night just before Christmas, 1863. It we. proved that Mre. CIiaTWTXD bed on that day first *glad at a Mrs. EDWARDa% in Birmingham, to whom she had been known for years, and asked for a bedroom, being then alone, and saying that she had come on a matter of life and death. But Mrs. EuwAaDe could not give her en apartment, and she went sway, saying she should go to an hotel. The landlady and barmaid of the Falcon swore that a lady and gentleman, whom they identified subse quently as Mrs. Currvrvun and Mr. Nit•uous, occupied a bedroom in their house on that even ing. But several circumstances somewhat in validated this testimony. The books they referred to for the purpose of confirming it showed an alteration made in the date ; handbills had been issued by Mr. Carrvrrso offering a reward for information of the nature of that which they gave • Mr. Nwuoia himself swore that he had slept at ;Ite Queen's Hotel, and that Mrs. CHETWYWD did not stay in that house at all ; and the servants at another hotel in Birmingham _ _ swore to a lady, whom they identified as Mrs. Cnirwrftn, having had a room by her self in their house on the night in qesetion. In this conflict of testimony the balance must be turned by the probabilities, and in considering these, there are, as Sir Jinni WILDE observed, two circumstances that seem 000, olosivo. One is, that Mrs. Currwvito first sought for lodgings at • house known to her, and where she wee well known ; the second is, that the cue against her proved her to be at the time deeply in love with Mr. Mir:ltems, and therefore not very likely to commit adultery with Mr. NICHOLS. As to Mr. MATTHEWS, the allegations of time and place were wanting. There was no evidence that even reasonably pointed at the actual com mission of adultery. But after Mrs. Csurrwvxo's flight from home two diaries of hers were dis covered, in which were • number of entries indi cating a passionate affection for this gentleman. But, at the same time, as the Jr/DOR ORDINARY justly observed, theme entries indicated that the passion had grown upon her in spite of her re aistance, and that she at least so far triumphed as to abstain from positive acts of guilt. Now, if a woman is so frank to herself as to write down in her private diary her most secret thoughts of this character, it is at least reasonable to believe , that portion which makes for her as well as that , which makes against her. Diaries, as Mrs. emir- WYND observed at the trial, are stupid things, and certainly she has illustrated the proposition in her own case. She added that she often wrote in them things that never occurred. But though it would be hard to persuade • jury of this, the jury naturally enough believed that, when she wrote of everything she thought, she would not have ex cluded some allusion to acts, if acts had occurred. Moreover, there was no evidence in the diary, or anywhere else, of Mr. MATTHEWS reciprocating, or even being aware of the passion. The spectacle of a lady, injured deeply by her own husband, making • private idol out of a barrister rising into practice and middle age, and setting him down in her tablets as something too holy and separate to be thought of with other pets, is certainly not very edifying ; but perhaps the fact that the barrister was a Roman Catholic, and that the lady embraced that persuasion, may in some degree explain the religious fervour of the Platonic relation. On the whole, the public will probably find little difficulty in agreeing with the verdict of the jury and the evident opinion of the Judge. Mr. CHITWYND'S conduct was in every way gross past dispute : Mrs. CHEYWYND'S was not immaculate : she is not over delicate ; it is proved that she can ride to bounds, sell a horse, perhaps even smoke a couple of pipes ►t a sitting, and fall violently in love with • gentleman who does not love her. But she has been, on the other hand, terribly outraged and terribly tried, and it would have been hard, indeed, if evidence insufficient certainly to divorce her from her hus band had been held strong enough to bind her for life to such a man as he is. gbe eoun.

AL Ma LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 21. Wm's the drama of real life has as interest; stronger than that of fiction, it can, perhaps, scarcely be that • large portion of the public should not watch with interest the domestic stories which the Divorce Court unfolds. And while the public does so--constituting itself, in fact, a jury of appeal that re-tries the case—it is a duty from which we can scarcely escape to sum up again the evidence, and to point out the moral rather than the purely legal significance of the facts. It must be confessed that the Carrwywo case, which hes occupied the Divorce Court for many days before and 'Moe the Christmas vacation, is ugly enough in its features to need this motive of duty to enforce its review. Whichever version—the husband's or wife's—be true, there has undoubtedly been per- jury on the one side—possibly on both. But whichever be true, there is undoubtedly a man ner of life disclosed which is not merely de graded, but ruffianly. Mrs. CHETWYND, the plaintiff, sued for divorce on the ground of her hosband's adultery and cruelty. The adultery was proved by a number of witnesses, and by letters of Mr. CHarwiNu to one of his paramours, which left the fact beyond dispute. But under our divorce law a husband's adultery, though com mitted with a dozen women, and these all servants in his wife's house, is not sufficient to entitle her to a divorce. It was necessary for her, there fore, to prove legal cruelty on his part besides. This she did by her own evidence, cor roborated by that of others. They were m►rried in 1854, her age being 18 and his 42, and she swore that for several months after marriage he behaved well to her, but that he soon began to use coarse language. The words she deposed to it is impossible for us here to reprint—it is enough tq say that not only no gentleman, but no one deserving the name of man would use them, even to the moat degraded of women. Mr. CHLTVIYND, placed in the witness-box, himself admitted that be had used them to his wife. He drew, indeed, distinctions, and averred that he had never sworn at her, but no words could be more brutal than those which he acknowledged he had ad dressed to her. If worse were possible, it was done by his teaching his infant children to use these words to their mother—is fact which he denied, but which was positively asserted by Mrs. CRETWYND, and confirmed by others. The acts of corporeal cruelty which she charged him with were equally unequivocal. She declared that he used to kick her out of bed, to lock her out of her room and form her to sleep on the stairs, to make her clean the grates, show horses for him, sit down at table with borsedealers and pigdealers, and wait for him at public•house doors while he was drinking I within. More specifically she asserted that on one occasion, when they were engaged to dinner at Beaudesert, she was late in corning home to dress after hunting, and be flogged her with a whip, kicked her down stairs, and drove her out into the rain; and that on other occasions he threw plates at her, and knocked her down. Several times she left his house and took refuge with her friends ; at last she finally left him in January, 1863. The acts of personal cruelty were sworn to by SARAN PRICE, Mrs. CHETWYND'S maid ; Mrs. Corms, the house keeper ; her groom, and other servants ; and some friends of the family swore to facts which con firmed the story. Such was Mrs. ClirrWrelfi case against her husband. But the law allowed him to take the opportunity of this trial to state against her charges, with the view of resisting divorce, which, BAVARIA AND THZ DUCHIES. VIENNA, JAR. 21.

Proudhou'a funeral to-day was attended by some exciting incidents, the true character of which is doubtful at the moment at which I write. He died at his house, No. 10, Grande Rue, at Psasy, a suburb of Paris, about as far from the centre of the city as Kensington is from London. A considerable, but not au immense crowd, for it is estimated at only 3,000 or 4,000, assembled at Palsy, to follow the corpse to the grave. Until half an hour before the time fixed for the funeral to set out only about half a' dozen policemen, in uniform (I am told there were many more in plain clothes), showed themselves about the door. But suddenly the sound of mili tary music was heard, and a regiment of the line (the 92nd), with band playing and colours flying, marched along the High-street, and pushed aside right and loft the people who filled the causeway. It is asserted, but I cannot help doubting the fact, that the advanced guard went through the form of loading their muskets. As the head of the regi ment approached K Proudhon's house, the people cried, "No music ; honour the dead." Several people surrounded the colonel, and told him that as there was a dead man in the house he ought to s top the music. He is said to have an swered that, as there was no mourning drapery at the door, he could not know that there was a oorpse in the house. The fact is that, by the express directions of the deceased, the usual display of black cloth was dispensed with. He desired to be buried as • poor man, and in the fosse commune (the"common ditch,"wherethere is no separation of graves), and his wishes were religi ously complied with. It is hard to believe that the colonel of the regiment who saw the unusual crowd in the quiet village of Passy did not know this. However, he complied with the request to stop the music, and, it is said, saluted the coffin with bis sword as be passed by. Five minutes later a regiment of the Grenadier Guards fol lowed in the wake of the line regiment, and the scene above described was repeated. Some people cried "bravo" when the colonel stopped the music —but others said "No bravo "—they suspected that the military demonstration was purposely made. It is hard to think the contrary. However, the evening papers say that it was an "accidental" military promenade. The interment took place in the Passy cemetery, and, contrary to what has oocnrred at former funerals, which may be styled political, no attempt was made to cut off the line of fol lowers. Everybody who pleased was allowed to enter the cemetery. Three speeches were delivered. One by M. Masao! set forth the virtuous life of the deceased, and dwelt upon the fact that he was born, lived, and died as a poor man. The second speech affirmed that as • public man no one more than M. Proudbon carried out the principles of 1789 expressed by the motto " liberty, Equality, and Fraternity." The third orator read a sort of testament of M. Pro•dhon, of which I have no account. No priest attended. M. Proud lion, when conscious of his approaching end, politely declined the proffered services of the curd of Passy, who wished to confess him, and said to his wife, " You will give me absolution."
