Throughout, the writer attempts to imitate COBBETT, and truly the imitation is perfect, with the exception that it lacks the sense, nerve, sarcasm, acuteness, and gene • ral intelligence of the original. The object of this delectable composition is to prove that tithes are the greatest blessings that the farmer possesses ; that without them he would be worse than a mendicant; that to them he is indebted for all the comforts and luxuries he enjoys ; and that he is ungrate ful, most ungrateful, if he presume for an instant to question the propriety of paying them to the fullest amount. The writer comes to this start- ling conclusion by that happy process of logic, peculiar to Irish metaphysicians, which gives de ductions the precedence of premises. He comes to his inference in the first page, and sets out with the argument from which it is drawn, in the last. Truly eight shillings per hundred for such a curiosity as this is dirt cheap ! Imagine a man seriously arguing the propriety of not abolishing tithes, from the fact, that if they were not paid to the parson, they must be to the landlord ! Why, upon this principle, not a tax of any sort can be reduced or abolished ; there can be nothing advantageous or practicable but transfer. We have not space to enter further into an exposure of this sample of ostentatious vulgarity ; but if enquiry, from motives of a na tural curiosity, be made respecting the author, we shall have not the slightest hesitation in giving his address at Bedlam. We feel morally con vinced he will be found an inmate of that esta blishment. The following are extracts from German, Dutch, and Prussian Papers, received this day : VIENNA, DEC. 7.—Great apprehensions are still enter tained here on account of the disturbances at Lyons, and the arrival of a courier is impatiently expected. Great losses have taken place on our Stock Exchange, and no haste is now made to conclude the loan. Tenders at 821 to 83 have been made to our Government, but ie. fused by it, and it is understood that it will not contract the loan below 86. All the superior officers who belonged to the corps of Generals Dwernicki and Romarino have, with few excep tions, solicited the intervention of our Government to ob tain from the Emperor of Russia permission for them to return to Poland. This wish has been attended to by our Government, and application has been made at St. Peters burgh ; it now remains to be seen whether the Emperor will be inclined to listen to it. The accounts from Central Italy are by no means satis factory, and unless new measures of security are adopted by the Papal Government, it is to be feared that fresh troubles will break out in the Legations. The Duke of Lucca has arrived from Prague, and the Austrian Minister, President of the German Diet, from Frankfort. Other letters from Vienna of the 7th report that the loan above mentioned is now concluded ; that it is for forty millions of florins at five per cent. contracted for at 84. VIENNA. The Austrian Observer contains the following article, under the head of Miscellanies : "It is hardly to be conceived how much European cre dulity has been imposed upon with respect to Portugal. The author of a pamphlet lately published at Lisbon, has taken the pains to sum up all the misfortunes which, ac cording to the liberal journals of Paris and London, have befallen Portugal. The result is, that from the accession of Don Miguel to the Ist of September this year the number of persons who have emigrated from Portugal is 606,828 ; the number of those who have been thrown into prison, 3,408,367 ; of those who have died in prison or on the scaffold, 15,683. There have been in that period, 2,354 rebellions and insurrec tions in Portugal. Don Miguel has perished by violence twenty-eight times, and has fled from the kingdom, either by water or by laud, twenty-five times. The Infantas, Don Miguel's sisters, have been by his order confined eighty-six times, in prison., convents, and other palaces, they have fled twenty-three times into foreign countries, and died seventeen times a violent death!" VIENNA, DEC. 6.—Since the 2d instant there have been again no new cases of cholera and no deaths, and the number of patients remaining is now reduced to six. In the suburbs too the disorder is rapidly abating, there hay ing been in the same four days only nineteen new cases, with forty-three recoveries, and eleven deaths, so that only 100 patients now remain. The disorder has spread in Bohemia, but has not proved very malignant ; in seventeen villages, with a population of nearly 12,000 souls, only 151 persons had been at tacked, of whom eighty-six had recovered, and sixty-one died, so that only four remain. BREDA, DEc. Is.—We hear from Maestricht that the Belgian troops have left Tongres, but that the Belgians now stop at Hasselt all merchandize going from Bois-le- Due to Maestricht, and that General Dibbets has in con sequence prohibited the admission of Belgian produce into the fortress. Coals must, therefore, he landed above Maestricht, to be conveyed by waggons to Ruremonde and Venloo, the consequence of which is a scarcity of fuel on their part. The: populace at Ruremonde have already, more than once, cut down trees in the public walks for fuel. BOIS-LE-DUC E DEC. 14.—His Royal Highness Prince Frederick arrived here yesterday. HELDER, DEC. 15.—Admiral Zierwogel has arrived here, and taken the command of the fortress. THE HAGUE, DEC. 15.—We hear that his Majesty has just signed a resolution, regulating the organization of the department of the interior. The Second Chamber of the States-General has received a note from M. Van Streefkerk, Secretary of State, stating that his Majesty having considered the observation of the sections of the States-General, on the project of law relative to the land tax for 1832, had caused another project of law to be drawn up instead, by which the amount of the land tax for 1832 is fixed at 8,427,321 florins ; the sum to be paid by each of the provinces is annexed to the proposed law.

An Imperial rescript addressed to General Kisselew, President of the Divans of Moldavia and Wallachia, ex presses his Majesty's satisfaction at finding, from the ac counts for the maintenance of the troops in those princi palities, that he had been able by reducing the expences, not only not to call for the sum of 675,000 rubles intended for that purpose in Silistria, but had paid out of the re venues of the principality the remainder of the sum 01 100,000 ducats, advanced in 1828, amounting to 4 , 1,500 ducats. BERLIN, DEc. 10.—The proclamation of General \Too Kraft to the Polish troops Lae not had the desired effect, as they are not to be induced to return to Poland. The Prussian Government has taken paternal care of these un happy men; a great part of them, even the officers, ra ther engage as servants to a Prussian farmer than go to Poland, where they, perhaps, less fear being incorporated in Russian regiments than being subject to the knout of the Polish Nobles, from which the revolutionary Diet by no means intended to deliver them. Now that they have seen in Prussia the value of personal freedom, of the right of acquiring property among our peasantry, they by no means desire to return home. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) CHOLERA AT NEWCASTLE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NEWCASTLE, Dec. 18. The official report of this day states that there are eleven new cases, three recoveries, two deaths, and fifty-three cases remaining under treatment. Persons at a distance from such a statement are very likely to be greatly alarmed. They will at once conclude the foreign or malignant cholera prevails in this town to a great 'xtent. Nothing, I assure you, can be more op posed to the truth. I have nothing to gain, no object to serve, by misrepresentation. I have admitted, and I now repeat, that the disease by whatever name it may be desig nated, which has so long prevailed at Sunderland, is at present in Newcastle, but the extent of it is very egre giously misrepresented. Let us examine the report for a moment. Fifty-three cases remaining ! To my know ledge considerably above twenty of these are at Dent's Hole, a village by the road side, which is not with in the jurisdiction of the Newcastle authorities a , all, but is like North Shields and Seghill, 'n the county of Northumberland. But these Dent's-hole cases, and seve ral of those actually in this town, are either cases which resemble the ordinary bilious cholera, which would never have been remarked at a period of less excitement than the present, or cases of diarrhces, or common bowel complaints. The number of cases of real malignant cholera is very small at present. I doubt sincerely if any of the faculty could point out half a dozen tolerably well marked cases now under treatment. We, in Newcastle, can hear of no more cases occurring at North Shields, though, from the ostenta tious exhibition of the report in London as " remained at last report," it might be supposed the disease was progressing. There have only been two cases there, and of these I gave you intimation on the 11th December, the very moment they were known. There has not been one instance of a person in a respectable station in life in Newcastle being attacked with the cholera. They have been all poor, ill fed, and ill lodged—and, with scarcely any exceptions, lived in very filthy situations. The Sunderland report of December 17 states there are five deaths and 28 cases remaining. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) EX-PARTE HARTNEY, IN THE MATTER OF HARTNEY, A !BANKRUPT. Sir EDWARD SuanEx was instructed to apply to the Court, that a petition in this matter might he retained in Chancery, so that it may come on to be heard before his Lordship, instead of being transferred to the new Bank rupt Court. The question here would be, in the opinion of the Learned Counsel, whether the new Bankrupt Act had removed the jurisdiction in bankruptcy from the Court of Chancery, except in matters appealed from the Bankrupt Court. The present petition was one that wes heard before Lord Eldon—it had been set down to come on before his Lordship (Lord Brougham) for consequential directions, and it was a matter which from its nature it was extremely desirous the Court should hear, if it still had the jurisdiction. This was assuming that it could not come on till after the 11th of January. The Loan CHANCILLOR said, if this was a question arising upon the Act which must be decided, it would not be seeming in him to shrink from the di.posal of it, but as the nature of the present petition certainly made it very desirable that he should hear it, the knot might be cut for the present by having the matter at once opened, so that it could afterwards stand over till subsequent to the 11th of January, and then come before him as a part-beard petition, and be adjudicated upon as if it had been heard out now. Sir EDWARD SUCDEN expressed his gratitude for this suggestion on the part of the Court, and availing himself of it, after he had partly stated the nature of the petition, it was ordered to stand over to a given day after the Christmas vacation. SWEARING •IN OF THE NEW BANKRUPT JUDGES AND COMMISSIONERS. The new Bankrupt Judges and Commissioners all at tended the Lord Chancellor in his private room this morn. ing, and were sworn into their respective offices before his Lordship entered the Court. FROM LLOYDS. DEAL, DEC. 19.—Wind W.—Arrived and sailed for the river the Doncaster, —, from Ceylon and the 'Mau ritius. Arrived the Minstrel, Fell, from Quebec.

CLYDE, Dec. 18.—Arrived the Spry, Cook, from Demerara; Spray, Hume, and Favourite, Allen, from Que bec ; Alrnandro, Carmuehal, from Newfoundland ; and Earl of Mar, Peter, from Riga. The Friends, Clark, from Quebec to Hull, was on shore yesterday on Sunk Island, in the Humber. The Trusty, Barclay, from St. Petersburgh, arrived at Gothland, leiky, bound to London ; 18 casks of tallow thrown overboard. GOTTENBURGH, DEC. 7.—The John, Storm, which sailed from Gloucester to this port in September, is missing. PENZANCE, DEC. 18.—It has blown extremely bard all night at S.S.W., this morning it is more westerly, and moderate. The Venue, Martell, from Stockholm, struck on the Thistles on the 28th ult., but floated off after two of her masts had been cut away. The Sir William Wallace, Robertson, from Liverpool to Charleston, has arrived at Penzance, with loss of main mast, sails, &c., having experienced tremendous weather during the last fortnight. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. Quebec Papers to the 22d of November, Montreal to the 27th of November, and Singapore to the 12th of Au gust, have been received at the North and South American Coffce-house. (From the Quebec Paper.) The Quebec Paper of the 25th contains a very long copy of a dispatch from Viscount Goderich, in reference to the petition of the House of Assembly, touching certain matters of complaint addressed to the King. To this communication the House of Assembly will not fail to treat the paternal feelings of his Majesty towards his faith ful Canadian subjects with all their reasonable desires. (From the Montreal Paper.) SEVERE STORM AT QUEBEC. ••••\Ve were visited yester day by a strong gale of wind from the eastward, which blew with great severity in the evening. The violence of the wind would not hive done much damage if the full tides had not also occurred, the waters of the St. Lawrence rose to a greater height than they have been known to do for many years ; by far the largest portion of the lower part of the buildings at the north-east end of the lower town, and the suburbs of St. Roche, were several feet under water ; we suppose that the damage done can scarcely be below from 60 to 70,0001. (From the Singapore Papers.) We are sorry to learn that Commodore Sir John Hayes, who left Bombay with Lady Hayes, in the Coote, for New South Wales, died at the Cocos, where he was interred, the Coote proceeded to Batavia with Lady Hayes, where she obtained a passage for Calcutta. COMMERCIAL REMARKS.—Gurralis, about 160 bales have been landed, a great part of which has been disposed off by the Jewish traders, at 19 discount for payment in gold dust, previous to this importation the price was 23 discount. Orium.—Five chests only have arrived, for Jewish houses. The price in Calcutta was 1,800 sive& rupees per chest. r► PIECE Goons.-The market for British manufactures has been unusually brisk of late—three-fourths of the im portations having been disposed of already. HAVANNA.II, OCT. 18.—As soon as the progress of the cholera in Europe had been ascertained beyond a doubt, it became Reces.ary to take measures for preventing the in troduction to this place of that horrible scourge: the Junta of Health, having taken it into consideration, ordered, among other provisions, that all ships coming from the north of Europe should be inspected previous to their ad mission here. They write from Frankfurt, of the 11th inst., "We this moment learn that fresh troubles have broken out at Hanau, caused by a Prussian functionary ordering the treaty of the Custom-house duties to be put into execu tion, and the people of Hanau demand its abolition." Austria and Prussia have notified to the Grand Duke of Baden that if he is not capable of putting down the revolutionary movements they will be obliged to send troops into his territory. Letters from Lyons of the 14th October state that the 9th regiment has left ; business was still in a great state of stagnation, and the lower classes of people were suffering greatly for want of employ, and amongst the measures taken to relieve them the Mayor had given notice that he was authorised to receive voluntary enrolments for the army, or they might enlist in the new corps forming for Africa. TUE FUNDS. Consols, which left off yesterday at 831 84 for the ac count, opened at 83i 4, and at present the market appears heavy; this is attributed to some unfavourable informa tion by the Dutch mail, which has not yet transpired. In the Foreign Market little doing. .HALF-PAST ONE. The letters and papers of the 17th instant have been delivered by the Dutch mail ; the papers are void of inte resi. The Dutch Funds come rather higher, 4.0il Letters received from Bordeaux this morning state that there was a iiiolent gale on the French coast, and several pieces of wrecks were driven ott shore off L'Orient, and from the description of which it was conjectured they be longed to some of the English vessels employed in Don Pedro's expedition. The private letters from Paris this morning are not of a favourable nature in regard to polities, and it was the opinion that the French Ministry would not last long, as a great difference existed amongst them.

BALMERINO.—A Political Union has been formed at this place, including some of the most respect able farmers, &c. in the neighbourhood; indeed, so strong is the feeling in favour of Reform, that only three Anti. Reformers can be reckoned in this district ; one of whom, of the plebeian caste, feels not at all easy at his sentiments upon the subject having got wind. His fair partner, if not ashamed at her husband's associates, is at least sadly alarmed for the consequences to her household.—Scots Times. SITTINGS. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, in the course of the morning, that he had thought yesterday be would have been able to have made an arrangement for the sittings of his Court to have been continued during Friday and Sa turday next by getting the Master of the Rolls to sit for him, but be had found, on applying to the Master, that his Honour could not comply with the request, in conse quence of having, before the application reached him, ap pointed those two days for the hearing of petitions in his own Court. His LORDSHIP proceeded with his appeal paper to-day, and a notice was posted in the Hall that he will, at the rising of the Court, give judgment in five or six cases that have been standing over for his decision. VICE-CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morning with causes possessing no point of the least public interest. V4re understand that it is the intention of his Honour to sit during the whole of the Christmas recess to hear bankrupt petitions, for the purpose of di s p os i ng o f as man y as possible previous to the new Act coming into operation, which deprives the Court of all jurisdiction in bankruptcy. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The LORD CIfIEF BARON has been sitting in Gray's Inn-hall since Saturday, on the case of Small v. Attwood. This is now the sixth day that it has occupied, and the plaintiff's case is not yet finished. The attention of his Lord ship is now being drawn to the depositions of witnesses, which go to the alleged fraud on the part of the defendant, with respect to the cost of making iron stone, in which there is nothing interesting to the public. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TAT TERSALL' S. Lord Exeter's hones continue still in great force—in fact scarcely any others were backed yesterday; 20 to 1 was taken against Folly, and two or three gentlemen seemed anxious to back Beirani and Dulcinea—Minster appears on the advance.

Comet. COURT CIRCULAR. Prince TALLEYRAND, the French Ambwador, had an interview yesterday with Earl GREY, at the Treasury. A meeting of the Lords of his AI ijesty's Most Honour able Privy Council was held at elevtu o'clock yesterday morning, at the Council-office, Whit..hall, to hear colonial ippals. The Lords present were—the MASTER of the nous, the JUDGE of the ADMIRALTY COURT, and the Duke of Rlcumown. Mr. BICKERSTETH was heard by their Lordships, in an ippe al from the decision of the Court of Chancery in Jamaica, ARCHIBALD SMITH and others appellants, CHARLES SCOTT, respondent, respecting the liability of the mortgagee of an estate called Leith Hall Plantation to the advances of the attorney of the mortgager. Mr. BURGE followed on the same side. Mr. PEMBERTON and Mr. RENNALL were heard for the respondents. The ;MASTER of the ROLLS, on the part of their Lord - vhips, referred certain inquiries to a Master, for his report before pronouncing judgment. Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE opened an appeal from the Isla of Man ; after the hearing of which their Lordships re rersed the decision of the Court below Their Lordships adjourned at half-past four o'clock. Sir FRANCIS Buttozrr visited Earl GREY yesterday, at the Treasury. Earl GREY left town last evening, for his seat, at East Sheen. We are assured that his MAJESTY has con sented to create such a number of new Peers as may be wanted to secure the passing of the Reform Bill ; but that the number will depend entirely on the course which things may take during the Christmas recess. Ministers, it is said, expect to be able to carry Reform without an addition to the Peerage ; they calculate on many conversions, and that the Bishops will either not rote at all, or vote in such a way as to neutralize each other. The utmost number, for the new creation, which has been mentioned, is Ss. Windsor Express. We regret to state that, on Thursday night, or early yesterday morning, a desperate gang of poachers, armed with guns and bludgeons, made an attack upon the preserves of H. W. NEWMAN, Esq., at Tbornbury Park. On hearing the first shot fired, a labouring man, employed upon the estate, named GEORGE WEBB, going towards them, was brutally attacked by bludgeons, and killed by having his brains literally beaten out. A keeper having by this time arrived, was also very severely beaten, and left for dead ; and another keeper was fired at by the poachers and narrowly escaped destruction. We under stand that the deceased, WEBB, has left a family of eight , children.--Bath Journal. We regret to state that Mr. CHARLES KENS- But lately experienced a serious relapse, and for a short period great danger was apprehended. lle is now, how ever, considerably better. The loss of such a man in his particular department would at the present period be it reparable. BLANCIIA RD, the comic actor, who, from cir cumstances which it is unnecessary to explain, suddenly left Covent garden theatre for America, had not arrived there when the last despatches were received in London. His daughter, Mrs. HAMbLIN, now in England, is the wife of the American Manager, by whom BLANCHARD is en gaged. OFFICIAL ASSIGNEES.—Gentlemen who are Candidates for this office are informed that the only work calculated to qualify them for the duties which they will be called upon to perform, is just published by ErFirm 11AM WILSON, Royal Exchange. It comprises the New Bankruptcy Court Act, the whole of the Bankrupt Laws now in force ; the Insolvent Debtors' Act ; Statute of Limitation; Composition with Creditors; Law of Factors awed Agents ; and, in fact, the whole of the Laws between Debtor and Creditor. The Act of Legislature authorising the di vorce of Mrs. LOUISA TURTON from her husband, Tx°Rah EDMUND TuaToN, Esq. having received the Royal assent, permitted the lady to enter into a new mar. riage, and she has availed herself of the dissolution of her alliance with Mr. Tunzox to form a second matrimonial connection. The object of Mrs. TUIITON'S choice is a gentleman named GzcriN, possessing considerable pro perty, at Hockliffe Grange, in Oxfordsbire. The nuptials, were celebrated on Tuesday last, at St. Mary's church, Weymouth. Mr. TUKTON, the offending party in the divorce, is at present in India, where he is a practising Counsel in the Supreme Court of Judicature at Calcutta. In France no less than twenty-three persons connected with the Public Journals have been condemned to various terms of imprisonment since the Revolution of July, amounting in the whole to nine years, nine months, and eight days.—Morning Paper.---I . lf Louis PHILLIP reigns but half the term of years that these individuals are imprisoned for, we shall be greatly mistaken.] NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF " PEL nAlif.—The romance entitled Eugene Aram, by the above popular writer, may, we understand, be expected in a week or two. Much expectation has been excited by thr name of the work, which is, of course, founded on the strange life and fate of an individual, whose trial is, per haps, the most remarkable in the annals of our jurispru dence. The publication of the Observer commenced yesterday morning at the usual time, a quarter past five o'clock, and finished the whole of its large publication before nine o'clock on the Sunday morning. It contained nine folio columns of the debate of Saturday, with the division on the Reform question. A Monday afternoon edition of the Observer, price Sevenponce, is regularly published at 169, Strand, well adapted for the country and to send abroad. COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—A most respect able Jury assembled on Friday last at the Black Dog at Bed font, to try the sanity of a foreign lady of fortune, residing at Spring Cottage, Feltham, Middlesex. Great interest at tached to the inquiry. Mr. PIIILLIMORE was the Chiel Commissioner. The lady's original foreign name wa% FARGALLANE, but she had been first married in early life to a Captain Wow), of the East India Company's ship Worcester, who left her a widow, and she subsequently married a Mr. PISTE!, whom she has also survived. She had been separated it appeared, from Mr. PISTE!. for sometime before his death by a regular deed of separation, in which Mr. JAMES SMITH, a solicitor resid ing in Bedford-row, was made trustee; and this gentle man has ever since, it appears, had the entire management of her affairs, and by him it was that this Commissio❑ was sued out for the purpose, as Mr. SMITH states, of re lieving himself from any consequences t f his trust, anti placing the lady in the care of the Great Seal. As we have not the whole of the evidence yet before us, we shall defer giving the particulars. PERTHSHIRE REFORM MEETING.—This great meeting was held on the North Inch of Perth, or, Friday, and was attended by at least 20,000 individuals. Numerous deputations from different parts of the country, preceded by music, and carrying flags with various devices, continued to arrive in Perth during the morning, and gave to that city all the appearance of a public festival. Some of the parties came from places twenty miles distant. At twelve o'clock, on the motion of the LORD PROVOST of Perth, the chair was taken by the Earl of ORMELIE ; and the resolutions were moved and seconded by the Hon. D. G. HALLTBURTON, the Hon.

MEETING OF SILK-MANUFACTURERS.-- A numerous meeting of silk-manufacturers was held yes terday at Weavers'-hall, Basinghall-street, Mr. B. Wurrys in the chair, to consider the distreseed condition of the silk trade. Mr. BALLANCE, Mr. WADDEN, Mr. AYIHROSI. MOORS, Mr. BECKWITH, and others, lamented the repeal of the protecting duties, and moved resolutions to the fol. lowing effect :—The first resolution glanced at the former prosperity of the trade ; the second drew the attention of his Majesty's Government to its present depressed condi tion, which it had gradually arrived at since 1826, when the ports were opened to foreign silks ; it stated that capital to a large amount had been destroyed, and the labouring classes in all the manufacturing districts were either pining away a wretched existence upon miserably reduced wages, or almost perishing from want. The third stated, that the reduction of the duty in 1629 in foreign thrown and manufactured silks, for the avowett purpose of crushing the illicit trade, had wholly failed, while the sufferings of the industrious poor had been con siderably increased. The remaining resolutions were t the effect that the present rate of import duty on silk ha. reduced the rate of Wages to the lowest point, and that the meeting would oppose any plan of further reduction : that the present protection is inadequate to meet the ex i gencies of the silk trade ; and that the continuance of th. present system would inevitably destroy the trade ; that Committee be appointed to confer with his Majesty's Go vernment, and to adopt all practicable means to carry th. objects of the meeting into effect. • • , i k#:'• • LITERATURE. A FAMILIAR COMPENDIUM OF THIS LAW OF HUSBAND AND WIFE. BY A SOLICITOR, LONDON : WHIMER, TRE4CHER 7 AND CO, 1 831. This book is designed to be a familiar abridge ment of the laws affecting husband and wife, with the addition of the legislative provisions relating to breach of promise of marriage, the seduction, and the abduction of women. It appears to be intended rather for unprofessional, than profess sional, readers, and is written in a plain, familiar, style. Several interesting cases, such as " Foote v. Hayne," and the " king v. Wakefield," are given at considerable length, and with illustra tions of an entertaining kind not usually met with in law reports. 4 . 411 It is very questionable whether popular works on law, medicine, or such sciences of immediate practical importance, do not, for the most part, do more harm than good. They give people a smattering of things which they cannot thoroughly understand, for want of pro fessional education, and lead them to rely upon their own imperfect knowledge rather than upon professional and technical skill. Whoever is af flicted with the cholera morbus, or any other disease, runs the most imminent risk of destruc tion, if he relies upon treatises on domestic medicine for a cure ; and, in the same way, if a man has the misfortune to fall within the juris diction of Doctors' Commons, he will do much wiser in confiding in the advice of his legal friends, than by trusting to such publications as that before us. We admit, however, that it is desirable that the reciprocal rights and duties of hus band and wife should be generally known, in stead of being involved in legal obscurity. The institution of marriage is one upon which the very existence of civilized society depends. It is that institution, combined with the establishment of the rights of property, which distinguishes the life of civilized men from that of savages. It fastens men's affections to the circle of domestic endearment, and secures to women the respect and protection to which their sex is entitled. When, therefore, the duties of marriage are lightly regarded, or made sub servient to the ends of avarice, or of vanity, it is not to be wondered at that thorns are found where there ought to have been roses. The case of Mr. and Lady Caroline Neeld has disgusted the public at the indifference with which the solemnity of marriage is treated by the higher ranks, and by their imitators among the upstarts of the middle ranks. The foolish vanity of the goldsmith's heir, and the sordid views of the lady or her friends, have been placed in a light that has made both parties appear ridi culous and contemptible in the eyes of the common-sense portion of society. Dr. Lush ington's judgment has afforded very general satis faction, and could, indeed, have hardly been dif ferent, if the former decisions on the subject of what is termed cruelty are taken into conside ration. The following is the summary in the " Compendium" of the law on this subject : " Cruelty by the ecclesiastical law will entitle the in jured person to a divorce from bed and board, if it consist in that sort of conduct which endangers the life or health of the complainant, and renders cohabitation unsafe. " The husband as well as the wife is entitled to a divorce by reason of cruelty, and instances are not want ing wherein sentences of divorce have been pronounced on the application of the husband. But it most commonly happens that the wife is promoter in suits of this nature (which are sometimes coupled with the suit for adultery), tad if it he proved that the conduct of the husband h . been dangerous, or accompanied with probability of per sonal violence, she is released from cohabitation. " It is not necessary to prove acts of personal violence to suhstantiate a charge of cruelty ; it being the acknow ledged doctrine that danger to the person and health is sufficient.— Hubne v. Bulme, Consiatory of London, .31. T., 1823. " Husband and wife. however, must not expect that the Ecalesiastical Court will interfere between them and ordi nary domestic quarrels. Sir William Scott, now Lord Stowell, in his judgment in the case of " Evans v. Evans," lays down the law on the subject with great precision and elegance, in the following words : " • What merely wounds the mental feelings is in few cases to be admitted, when it is not accompanied with bodily injury, either actual or menaced. Mere austerity of temper, petulance of manners, rudeness of language, a want of civil attention and accommodation, even occa sional sallies of passion, if they do not threaten bodily harm, do not amount to legal cruelty. They are high moral offences in the marriage state undoubtedly; not innocent surely in any state of life; but still they are not that cruelty against which the law can relieve. Under such misconduct of either of the parties, for it may exist on the one side as well as on the other, the suffering party must bear in some degree the consequences of an injudi cious connection ; must subdue by decent resistance or by prudent cenciliatien ; and if this cannot he done, both must suffer in silence. And if it be complained that, by this inactivity of the Courts, much injustice may be suf fered, and much misery produced, the answer is, that Courts of Justice do not pretend to furnish clues for all the miseries of human life. They redress or punish gross violations of duty, but they go no further; they cannot make men virtuous; and, as the happiness of the world depends upon its virtue, there may be much unhappiness in it which human laws cannot undertake to remove.— Still less is it cruelty, where it wounds not the natural feelings, but the acquired feelings arising from particular rank and situation ; for the Court has no scale of sensibi ities by which it can gauge the quantum of injury done and felt ; and therefore, though the Court will not abso 'utely exclude considerations of that sort where they are stated merely as matter of aggravation, yet they cannot constitute cruelty when it would not otherwise have existed. Of course the denial of little indulgences and particular accommodations, which the delicacy of the world is apt to number amongst its necessaries, is not cruelty, It may, to be sure, be a harsh thing to refuse the use of a carriage, or the use of a servant ; it may in many cases be extremely unhandsome, extremely disgraceful to the character of the husband, but the Ecclesiastical Court does not look to such matters : the great ends of marriage may very well be carried on without them ; and if people will quarrel about such matters, and which they certainly may do in many cases with a great deal of acrimony, and sometimes with much reason, they yet must decide such affairs as well as they can in their own domestic forum.' • * " I have heard no one case cittd, in which the Court has granted a divorce without proof given of a rea sonable apprehension of bodily hurt. I say an appreh en . sion, because assuredly the Court is not to wait till th e hurt is actually done; but the apprehension must be rea sonable ; it must not be an apprehension arising merely from an exquisite and diseased sensibility of mind. Petty vocations applied to such a constitution of mind may cer tainly in time wear out the animal machine, but still they are not cases of legal relief ; people must relieve them selves as well as they can by prudent resistance—by calling in the succours of religion and the consolation of friends.'
