MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The accounts front most of the manufacturing districts continue very satisfactory although the amount of business has not been extensive. At Leeds there has been a steady demand for most descriptions of cloths, and full values are current. The.manufacturers are also fully employed upon orders for spring goods. Business at Man chester has been quiet, but this is usually the case at the commencement of the New Year; spinners and manufacturers, however, are busy, and refuse to take fresh orders except at ad vanced rates. The worsted trade at Bradford con tinues moderately active, and for piece goods there is a fair inquiry at full rates. The iron trade of South Staffordshire continues steady, and at Bir mingham affairs remain in a satisfactory position. Business at Sheffield, Wolverhampton, and Wal sall is still very active, and at the latter place some large orders, on Government account, have given full employment to the operatives. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, on Saturday, increased heaviness was apparent, and 8,000 bales were sold at previous quotations. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and prices were without alteration. The demand for discount accommodation has become much quieter, and accommodation has been obtained on first-class bills at rather easier rates, but 21 per cent. is still the average charge in the general: money market. During the next few days further indications of easiness may be occasioned by the release of the January dividend, which com menced on Saturday. The effect of the loan and other payments now maturing will therefore be neutralised, and it is expected that the next Bank of England return will show a falling-off in the the stock of " other :securities," which, on the last occasion, exhibited an important augmentation. The ordinary general meeting of the Union Bank of Australia was held to-day, at which a dividend at the rate of £2O per cent. per annum was declared. The report was adopted, and a vote of an additional sum of £5OO per annum was made to the directors. The New 6 per Cent. Victoria Railway Deben tures are firm at 1071 to 108,4, and transactions have taken place at 107 to 107 t. On Friday the exact amount taken was £640,800, and as the applications on Saturday exceeded the balance required to complete the loan of one million, it 'as resolved that new subscribers should be ex chided, there being scarcely sufficient to meet the demands of those who had successfully tendered on th e first occasion, and to whom it had been decided the preference should be given. Rather more firmness has been exhibited in the English Stock Market to-day, but the transactions are not very numerous, as the operators are await ing the arrival of fresh dispatches from the Paris Bourse. Consols have been 951 961 for money, and 961 for the February account. They are now 961 and 96k, buyers, respectively. The New Threes are 96?,-, 1, and the Reduced 96A1. - A further purchase of £15,000 Stock has been made by the Government broker. Bank Stock is 226 to 227, and India ditto 222. Exchequer Bills are 40s. to 435. prem. Foreign Securities have been tolerably active, and rather more firmness has been exhibited. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 901 to 911 dis. ; the New Scrip is 31 to 3 dis. ; Venezuela Active are 431 44 ; do. Deferred, 161 17. Chilian Scrip is a to 1 -4, dis. Dealings have been recorded in Russian 5 per Cents. at 113 ; and in the 41 per Cents. at 991. A moderate amount of business has been reported in the Railway Share Market, but owing to the heaviness in Consols prices in most instances shOw a downward tendency. Chester and Holyhead, Eastern Counties, Great Northern, North-Western, North-Eastern (Berwick), and South-Eastern declined 55., and Great Western, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 10s. The foreign and colonial lines are very inactive, and prices are almost nominal. East Indian and Punjaubs are at about previous quotations. • For Joint Stock Bank shares there is scarcely any inquiry. British North American have receded to 58a, and Union of Australia to 57 Z-. In the Miscellaneous Market Electric Telegraph have improved to 107, and Crystal Palace Preference shares are at 5-1. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. 'Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

Closing I Business , THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets, held on Saturday, were but moderately supplied with wheat, and the demand for all kinds ruled steady, at very full to further enhanced rates. Most kinds of barley sold without difficulty, at extreme rates, and other produce moved off steadily at full quota tions. On the Continent wheat has meta slow inquiry, at about previous rates. Spring corn has continued firm. In the United States prices continue to be supported. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week, were very moderate. From abroad they were liberal, viz., 11,439 qrs. of wheat, 11,502 of barley, 30,311 oats, 27 beans, 245 peas, 2,560 tares, 4,090 linseed, 4,270 rapeseed, 1,700 sundry seeds, 325 sacks and 1,550 barrels of flour. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to. day, coastwise and by land carriage, was very moderate, conse quently the show of samples was rather limited. The Essex wheats were in steady, but by no means active request, at prices equal to Monday last ; but the Kentish supply was taken off slowly, and some difficulty was expe rienced in effecting sales at last week's currency. Owing to several country buyers being in attendance, there was an improved sale for foreign wheat, and some quantity was taken, at fully last Monday's quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, at full prices. The few samples of English barley on offer found buyers at very full prices, and there was a better feeling in the de mand for inferior foreign, which, in some Instances, pro duced is per quarter more money. The malt trade ruled dull, but we have no change to notice in prices. There was a full average supply of oats on offer, and the demand ruled steady, at full quotations. Beans sold readily, and prices advanced is per quarter. In peas very little was doing, and late rates were barely supported. We had a better demand for flour, and, in some. instances, Norfolk qualities were is higher than on Monday last. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-( THIS DA Y.) COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Lord Campbell, Mr. Baron Martin, and the Judge Ordinary, Sir Cresswell Cresswell.) SPROT V. SPROT. Mr. Sergeant Piggott applied to their lordships for a decree of divorce in terms of the verdict of the jury in this case. Lord Campbell granted the decree of divorce, with costs against the adulterer, an Italian, and ordered the child to be given into the custody of the mother. MARCHMONT V. MARCHMONT. This causefw hichiasexCiteis;Qch attention, again appeared in the list this morning. It was an application on the part of Mr. Marchmont for a new trial. It will be re collected that the verdict at the conclusion of the cause when last before the Court, was delivered in favour of Mrs. Marchmont, the petitioner, a lady possessed of very large personal property, and the respondent, Mr. Marchmont, was a dissenting minister, belonging to the Congregational or Independent denomination, and also engaged in literary pursuits. Upon the judges entering the court, _ _ Mr. Phillimore, Q.C., said he had just received a letter from Mr. Macaulay, who was to have moved this morning for a new trial in the case of Mr. Marchmont. He regretted to say that last .night Mr. Macaulay was attacked with a violent sore throat, and that he wes prevented by hie medical attendant from leaving his room. He (Dr. Philli more) must therefore ask their lordships to allow the case to stand over. It was absolutely necessary that the new trial should be moved for before a full court, as their lord ships would perceive from the 18th section of the act. Sir C. Cresswell—ln this case it must be very unsatis factory that it should be moved for elsewhere. Lord Campbell—l suppose it can't be helped, but we have come here at great inconvenience. Baron Martin—Can't you go on with it, Dr. Phillimore ? Lord Campbell—What ! Were you with Mr. Macaulay ? Dr. PhiLlimore—Yes, my lord. Lord Campbell—Then I call upon you, Dr. Phillimore, without the slightest hesitation, to proceed. I thought you were an opponent. _ Dr. Phillimore—No, my lord. lam on the same side; but I have received no instructions. Lord Campbell—You must go on. The Court will have no objection to adjourn for a quarter of an hour in order to enable you to prepare your case. You must be familiar with all the details. Dr. Phillimore said he would do his best, but he feared hat he would have to trespass on their lordships' indul- genre: The judges then retired, and, on their return into court, Dr. Phillimore rose and said he had to move the court for a new trial in this case, on the ground that the verdict was contrary to the evidence, that certain evidence had been admitted which ought to have been, rejected, and that The learned Judge-Ordinary had not properly stated to the jury as to cruelty. The case occupied eight days in hearing, and the learned judge was nearly three hours summing up the evidence to the jury. The petitioner and Mrs. March mont were married in Oct., 1857, at St. George's Cathedral, and the final separation took place in June, 1858. The allegations contained in the petition were not so much any particular and specific acts of cruelty, but rather a series of continued acts of cruelty ranging over the whole period of the marriage ; and particular acts of cruelty were charged as against the husband of attempting to obtain large sums of money by acts of cruelty, but no stress was laid upon that point on the other side ; and it was remarkable that the jury had accompanied their verdict with an intimation that those particular charges were not proved. The Judge Ordinary said it was exactly so. He remem bered that one or two of the jury had intimated that such was their opinion, but he judged from the manner of the foreman when he delivered the verdict that he especially guarded himself against its being thought that he was of that opinion. Lord Campbell—The Court could not be occupied in hearing anything said by any individual juryman. Dr. Phillimore said he would proceed with the case, and having detailed several acts of alleged cruelty, said he sub mitted that the learned Judge Ordinary had improperly laid down the law to the jury both with regard to the par ticular acts of cruelty, and in reference to the cases which had been cited, for instance Holding v. Holding, Waring v. Waring, Dysart v. Dysart. The learned judge left the definition of the law to the jury. The Judge Ordinary said it was not likely that he should have been guilty of so gross an impropriety as leaving the definition of the law to the jury. Lord Campbell—lf the learned counsel intended to rest his argument upon the misdirection of the judge, he must first show what the direction of the learned judge was, and thex. proceed to show the Court where it was wrong. r. Phillimore said he would endeavour to do so. One of the objections of which he had to complain was, that they endeavoured to produce evidence to show the wife was of an irritable and ill-tempered disposition, which was not allowed by the learned judge, although he had himself told the jury that Mrs. Marchmont was ill-tempered and peevish. Then, with regard to the particular charge of a blow having been inflicted, it was proved by a witness named Tobin, that when the alleged act of cruelty took place, it was after the occasion of the husband having been provoked and irritated. The evidence intended to enable the wife to show that her habitation was unsafe failed, for !t might have arisen from violence, and the wife had no right, if she had so conducted herself as to cause the provo cation, to charge the husband with cruelty. The evidence showed that Mr. Marchmont was the minister of a Disent in g chapel, and his wife was possessed of a fortune of £50,000. On his marriage it was arranged that he should leave his chapel, but she was to have the sole control of the whole financial arrangements of the household; yet a very short time after their marriage, it was clearly proved that she absolutely refused to let Mr. Marchmont have even a few shillings to purchase stationery with, and to say that Mr. Marchmont had been guilty of acts of cruelty towards his wife because he felt indignant at her refusal of such a trifling request was, he thought, saying too much. It was also in evidence that Mrs. Marchmont was a woman that was in the habit of stating to her servants that which took place in the marriage bed. Such a proceeding, he thought, clearly showed that a woman who would act in such manner could not be called a delicate woman. It also showed that she-was a person to whom the usual meaning of the word cruelty coula not be applied. The learned counsel then proceeded to show that the evidence disclosed the fact that Mrs. Marchmont was addicted to drinking sherry, and that her conduct at this particular period was of the most provoking character. The only evidence brought forward at the trial to prove that a blow had been struck was only on one occasion, and then it was of so un satisfactory a nature that it altogether failed to show that Mrs. Marchmont was in any actual fear of danger to life or limb, without which the case could not be sustained. The Judge Ordinary was of opinion that that was quite a mistake. Baron Martin thought a man might beat his wife every morning with a horsewhip without endangering life or limb. He thought, however, that such conduct would be in the minds of all reasonable persons considered cruel. Lord Campbell—l think the learned doctor is wholly wrong in his hbad. Dr. Phillimore—That then was all the evidence offered at the trial to show continued cruelty. The Judge Ordinary—lt was the only evidence to showed that a blow had been struck, but it was not the only evidence to shoiv continued cruelty. Dr. Phillimore said he would next proceed to allude to what took place on the 25th Feb., when the alleged forcing the wife into a chair, and into the carriage occurred when they went to the police station. At that particular period Mrs. Marchmont had left her home and was residing with a friend named Walmsley. It was alleged that she was dragged from the house along the garden, notwith standing her screams, and was forced into a cab and held down to the seat. On tnis occasion Mrs. Walmsley spoke to a blow having been given. The Judge Ordinary said the evidence of the cabman proved that Mrs. Marchmont was roughly put into the cab, and the husband had admitted that he had placed his arm round her waist to assist her into the cab, and when he was asked why he did so, he did not think any person could forget the answer given. He said he did it because he was so fond of her. (Loud laughter.) Dr. Phillimore said, whilst in the cab Mrs. Marchmont stated that her husband called her filthynames, and when she got to- the station-house she refused to make any charge against Mr. Marchmont, which he thought would not have been the case if any actual cruelty had been committed. The learned doctor then adverted to the occasion when Mrs. Marchmont left her home on the Sth of March, and her return on the 13th, and to seven following occasions when she left her home. The Judge Ordinary said it must be borne in mind that on each of those occasions there had been discussions about money matters, and the making of her will. Dr. Phillimore said that was so, but he contended that Mrs. Marchmont had condoned the cruelty by voluntarily returning to her home after she had so frequently left it, and such being the case he humbly submitted that Mr. Marchmont was entitled to a new trial. The Judge Ordinary said the eviden4 brought forward in this case was of a very remarkable character. It ap peared that the endeavour of both parties had been to bring forward every unkind word or thing that had passed be tween them for the period of eight months, and they had consumed eight days in doing so. He thought there had been faults on both sides. Mrs. Marchmont, no doubt, was a lady addicted to taking. more sherry than was consistent with calmness; yet, looking at the whole of the case, he saw no reason to be dissatisfied with the verdict of the jury. Lord Campbell said he was of opinion that no new rule ought to be granted in this case, and the verdict ought not to be disturbed. The evidence had been of a very conflicting character, and the jury preferred believing Mrs. March moat. He was not prepared to say they wero wrong, or that they had come to a wrong decision. Although the conduct of the wife had been low and vulgar; that of her 'husband had been base, sordid and disgraceful, and the jury were perfectly justififid in not paying the slightest at iou evidence. It was a giutitication to find oTe of the schemes of a man who had been 100 Agra&UnitedServiceßk 50 40 Australasia all 91 93 25 Bank of Egypt all 27 28 100 Bank of London 5O 49 51 40 Brit. Col.

A LOVE AFFAIIL—Edward Valentine Winey, a respect able-looking young man, was charged with knocking at the door of Mr. Richard Evans, of Princes-court, Newport market, without a lawful excuse. . The complainant said that, about one on Sunday morn ing, he heard a knock at his street door, and, on opening it, there was no one there ; but a few minutes afterwards, hearing a tapping at the shutters, he again went out, and discovered the accused and gave him into custody. Mr. Beadon said thero must be some reason for his going to his house. The complainant said the accused told him he had kept company with his daughter for three years. He under stood from his daughter that he followed her about where ever she went, and she .did not wish to have anything to do with him. She had got another engagement. His daugh - ter was in court. The daughter, a rather good-looking girl, said she did not wish to have anything to do with him. The accused said he had known the lady three years, and went out on Saturday night with her for a walk, as usual, and he called to see her again. The daughter admitted she met the accused on Saturday night, and after a good deal of persuasion took three penny worth of brandy with him. The accused, who did not seem to understand the tide affairs were taking, said the young lady had called to see him twice the previous week... . . Mr. Beadon said he should order the accused to enter into his own recognisances to keep the peace, and he would advise the young lady, if she wanted to be off with an old love, not to drink with him. LONDON FIRES DURING 1858. The following is Mr. Superintendent Braidwood's official report of the number of fires that took place in the Metropolitan district during the year just ended, as well as his annual return of the risks attached to the various trades carried on in London, which must prove of the greatest importance when it is remembered that over one hundred millions sterling of property are insured in the various fire insurance offices. The return of course must prove of great interest to the many thousand insurance agents located throughout various parts of the country, as it will to some extent enable them to form an idea as to what may be considered the proximate risk attached to the several trades and professions carried on. The return opens in the following manner : " To the Committee for Managing the London Fire Engine Establishment. " 68, Watling-street, E.C., Jan. 3, 1859. " Gentlemen,—ln accordance with minute of the 27th of December. last, I beg leave to report as •follows :—The fires in 1858, as compared with thoso which took place in 1857; have decreased by 1. On the average of the preceding 25 .years the in crease is 357. The number of fires in the list of totally destroyed' is the same as last year, and on the proportional average of the last 25 years a de crease of 7.3. "Of the 32 totally destroyed, 14 were from 2 to 10 miles distant from the nearest station ; 13 were the workshops of carpenters and other dangerous trades. 3 fell down more from old age than the effects of fire, and of the remaining 2, 1 was des troyed by an explosion of saltpetre, and the other by imprudence in breaking open the shop front before the engines arrived. " Although the fires are 1 less in number during the past year, there have been a great many of a more serious character than usual, entailing very severe labour and watching on the part of the fire men, which they have gone through with the greatest alacrity and cheerfulness, and. I may truly say they have done their duty to their employers well and faithfully to the best of their ability. " The whole of the land engines and apparatus are in excellent order. " The upper steam float has been called to 26 fires, and been at work at 6, in all 74 hours. The lower steam float has been called to 16 fires, and has been at work at 10, in all 6631 hours. These steam floats have been invaluable during the past year. The number of fires from the Ist January to the 31st December, 1858, has been as follows : Fires at which the premises were totally destroyed 32 Ditto, ditto, considerably damaged.. 385 Ditto, ditto, slightly damaged 697 Total fires False alarms Chimney ditto • • .1,114 112- 206 Total calls ..1,320 " The foregoing does not include chimneys on fire known to be so, but only such as were said to be houses on fire. " I have enclosed a list of fires according to the different trades, also a list of fires where the pre mises were totally destroyed, with some remarks thereon.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant, _ (Signed) " JAS.

B.—For the first time this winter the county of Northumberland is covered with snow, and the Cheviots and other high lands have a very bleak look. There is an appearance of more fall. The wind is from the N.E., and a heavy sea is breaking on the coast, which makes it very dangerous to vessels running to the Tyne and other ports for shelter. Last night the schooner Sir Edward Banks, with coals from Hartlepool for Aberdeen, in at tempting to take Shields harbour for shelter, encountered a tremendous sea. and was driven among the broken water on the Herd Sand, where she struck. Three lifeboats, two from South Shields and one from North Shields, manned by Tyne pilots, put off to the assistance of the crew, and rendered material aid in rescuing them. The vessel still remains exposed to the gale. Some other vessels also had narrow escapes in running for the harbour. The Provi dence, from Bremen, struck heavily in coming over the bar, but got into the harbour, though much damaged and leaky. A considerable fleet is due from London and the south, but the prevailing winds preve nt them g etting down. Freights are improving both on the Tyne and Wear ; and, notwith standing the present depression of the shipping interest, seve ral large and valuab le vessels have been launc hed on the Wear this week. AN ODD ACCIDENT.—The Marchioness of West minster, accompanied by her daughter, was driving in a s mall pony carriage up Forega te-str eet , , Chester, on Mon day last, when the vehicle separated into two parts, quietly depositing the Marchioness and Lady Theodora on the ground, while the horse started off with the " dickey," on sheerly, and decay the of accident d ent timberis set w hich two servants were seated.

RE-HARNESSING. Turfites will soon be up and doing. The recently published nominations for the Spring Handicaps have already put them on the alert, although it has produced no activity at the Corner. The list of entries is, in every respect, satisfactory, and all the old established races have fully maintained their prestige and popularity. Afr. Topham will, as usual, be first in the field with his Chester Cup Handicap ; and the result of his labours is earnestly anticipated, because it will form a ground work on which other handicappers will build their imposts. With regard to certain animals, it is stated that the bill of pains and penalties will be very heavy. It is expected of the Admiral in particular, to place such weights on animals which were brought under suspicion last year, as to show that their doings are not forgotten. _ Very little racing news can be collected, and the pages of Bell's Life and the Sunday Times, at this period of the year, are nearly as uninteresting as " Bradshaw's Guide." The Derby betting pre sents no features of interest, and the little excite ment which was a few weeks ago got up with respectto Ralpho for the Two Thousand has entirely subsided. Nearly every meeting day at the Corner has teen drawn blank, and, indeed, nothing has occur red to induce turfites to quit the covert side of the coursing field. They are, however, actively en. gaged in preparing for the stirring business which will shortly commence. Some anxiety is evinced, however, by the managers of the early meetings at a prospect of a continuance of the frost, which will sadly mar their plans. By the way, the Notting ham Spring Meeting, which has been violently opposed by the anti-race party, will, I understand, take place as usual. The petition which was presented in favour of the meeting was 52 yards in length, and signed by 3,800 of the most respectable inhabitants . of the town. When presented to the Council it was carried only by a majority of one. A FRESH MAN. FRENCH THEATRICALS. ITALIAN OPERA. ,--The well-known " Semiramide" of Rossini, with Madame Penco and Mme. Alboni as the Queen and Arsace, with Badiali as the Assur, drew a brilliant assemblage here on Tuesday night, and its beautiful music was listened to and applauded with an enthusiasm which proved that though other modern composers may be duly appreciated and welcomed, "Il Gran Maestro" still holds the first place in the favour—the heart of hearts—of the public. Nothing can be more elegant or brilliant than the music of this opera, though, considering the tragic nature, we may occasionally wish for something more grave and powerful amid the honeyed sweetness' of the melodies with which it abounds. Coming at once, however, to its execution, it is almost superfluous to state that the singing of Alboni in Arsace is almost perfection. The opening cavatina drew down long continued plaudits, and to the close of the role she was not less admirable. She felt herself at home in her old part, and not only sang, but even acted with a degree of spiri and abandon which surprised the spectator. Her costume, it is true, is something of the nondescript class, evidently arranged with a view to conceal her too ample beauties, which male attire certainly is not calculated to display to advantage. Mme. Penco sang and acted splendidly. Her voice betrayed a little nervousness in the first scene, but it had disappeared before the commencement of her first great air " Bel Raggio," which she gave delightfully. But probably the gem of the night was the duo be tween the two ladies, " Ebben a to fereici," one of the loveliest melodies ever composed, and its execution by Mmes. Alboni and Penco is a thing to be remembered ; taste, tenderness, expression, brilliancy, nothing was left wanting by these accomplished artistes to give every passage—every note its proper nuance ; the result was indeed delightful. Needless to add that it was repeated by a general demand, and the rival nightingales saluted with reiterated applause. M. Badiali proved him self, as before, a complete master of his profession. As an actor and as a singer his ABsur takes a high place. His voice reminds the hearer of that of Lablache, wanting at present, however, the roundness of that magnificent organ, but still preserving wondrous flexibility, more perhaps than the great basso ever possessed. Belart gave the little part of Idreno with taste and sweetness ; like Mme. Alboni, he is always at home with Rossini. The hi g h priest found a good representative in Angelini ; and to crown all, the choruses and orchestra went capitally. The opera was repeated on Wednesday by " special desire," and went off equally well. It was to have been repeated again on Thursday, but from the indisposi tion of Mme. Penco was unavoidably deferred until Satur day. VARIETEB.—This theatre appears in a vein of success. , The annual " Revue," which is entitled " Astu va la Comete, mon gas P" bids fair to be as profitable as the " Bibelots du Diable." The piece is of the usual character broad satire upon everything at home and abroad which the authors, Messrs. Cogniard and Clairville, have been able to bring under notice. The doings of the French and English in China, the comet, the fashions, the theatres, the alterations in Paris, &c., &c., are all made the subject of sundry jokes in prose and verse, which, though not of a very brilliant or original cast, were quite good (or bad) enough to please the crowd, and, with the aid of Mlles. Scriwanek, Alphonsine, Boisgontier, and a host of fair colleagues, and the comic strength of the gentlemen of the company, secured the piece a most flattering reception. GAITE.—Our old acquaintance " Cartouche" has turned up here in a new form, that is to say, the incidents are different from those by which this famous criminal's adven tures were exhibited on former occasions, though his in genuity and cleverness in defeating the police furnish the • materials of the drama. The public here show themselves by no means favourable to the Latter, for every triumph of Cartouche over the authorities is received with shouts of admiration and sympathy. Dumaine plays the accomplished robber with amusing spirit, and the names of the writers, demonstrations of success. n out with the usual Messrs. Deunery and Dogue , were g i ve The Cirque Imperial has this week given the 800th re presentation of " Les Pilules du Diable!" apropos to which we find the followi ng We lately mentione d the debut of Mlle.

Many bravos' greeted the young stranger, and in the following acts she fully maintained her newly .acquired fame. Miss Thomson is of small stature, but assumes on the stage a certain dignity of bearing, which, coupled witii:her spirituel and expressive features and excellent dramatic action, engaged at once the sympathy of the audience. To the shame of parties in authority and others at the. Grand Opera, notwithstanding her well-known ability (and perhaps because of it), this young foreigner has only arrived at her debut after encoun tering a mass of intrigues, jealousies, and hindrances, which, but for her own energy and the• interposition of friends, would have kept her back altogether. Instead of that generous treatment which any young debutante had a right to expect, all kinds of obstacles and vexations were thrown in her way." I i ) , ! 91 iIJ 101 11 1121 Share ( ...~-
