These bankrupts were described as of Paddington, saber merchants, and to-day was appointed for their last examination. Mr. Lucas appeared for the bankrupts, and asked for an adjournment, He said that the bankrupts had in the first instance placed their books, &c., in the hands of Mr. Howell, an accountant, to prepare a statement to be laid before their auditors, and after the bankruptcy he claimed a lien on the books, so that Mr. Maynard, who was then engaged to prepare the accounts for this court, was delayed in their preparation, and ultimately, and just previously to the meeting for the last examination, he found that the accounts prepared by Mr. Howell could not be borne out by vouchers, and therefore he declined filing the balance-sheet he prepared on the faith that the items could be vouched. He had, therefore, to prepare a fresh balance, showing the true state of their affairs instead of a fictitious statement. The bankrupts were anxious to avoid the stigma of an adjournment sine die, and were willing to pay the expense of another adjournment. His Honour said there could be no objection to that course, and an adjournment was taken for six weeks. IN RE HARRISON. This bankrupt was a core-dealer at Epsom, and came up and passed on accounts prepared by Messrs. Paul and Turner. The debts are 1,6321. To creditors holding security, 1,5771. Creditors—good debts, 641.; doubtful, 1521.; property in the hands of creditors, 1,6001. IN RE SAVAGE. The bankrupt was described as of Winchester, seeds man, &c., and proprietor of the Botanical Gardens and Promenade, &c., and came up to-day on accounts pre pared by Messrs. Paul and Turner. The debts to unse cured creditors are 1,261/. ; ditto bolding securities, 1,1501. ; surplus, May 1856, 7441. Cr. : good debts, 101/.; property, 8501.; ditto in hands of creditors, 1,5211. The bankrupt passed. CITY SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) GOOD NEWS FOR SUITORS IN MIS COURT. In a case in which Mr. Dodd appeared for the plaintiff, bat gentleman applied for an immediate order, but his Honour recommended instalments. Mr. Dodd—l think, your Honour, the plaintiff is the best judge. Hie Honour--No, indeed, I do not. I find that when I interfere the money generally comes in. Mr. Dodd—l find, on the contrary, that where instal mentary payments are ordered, after the first payment LS more are tendered. Besides, I think the matter may well be left to the plaintiff and his advocate, and I think the judge's interference never does any good. His Honour— On the contrary, again—(laughter)—l find our Court 50 per cent, better than other Courts ; and lam sure I interfered enough. (Roars of laughter.) I always recommend instalments, and we are very sue. coastal in getting tile money. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DRUNKENNESS AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Eliza Francis, a poor, miserable-looking, middle-aged woman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Beadon, charged with attempting to commit suicide by throwing herself into the Serpentine River, Hyde-park. It appeared from the evidence of a carpenter named James Powley, that on the previous evening, about half past five o'clock, he was crossing Hyde-park, and when near the statue of Achilles he heard cries of "Help, help!" proceed from the banks of the Serpentine. He ran towards the spot as fast as he could, when he met two youths, who begged of him to hasten, as a woman was in the river, drowning. He immediately pulled off his coat and waistcoat, and seeing a dark object at some distance in the water, he swam towards it, and after a little time succeeded of dragging out the body of the woman at the bar in a perfectly insensible state. He then, with assistance, conveyed her to the receiving. house, where the usual remedies were applied, and after a considerable time had elapsed she was sufficiently re covered to be removed by the police to the workhouse. Mr. Beadon asked the prisoner the cause of her at tempting such a rash ant The prisoner said it was distress and the cruelty of her husband, who had turned her out of her home, and refused to allow her a single penny towards her support. Mr. Beadon was afraid that there was something more behind the scenes, which the prisoner did not think proper to describe. A respectable man here stepped forward, and said he was requested by the prisoner's husband, who was an intimate friend of his, to attend before his worship and explain matters. The prisoner, who had been repeat edly charged at Marylebone Police-court for a similar offence, was a most inveterate drunkard. She had a good home and a kind husband, whose happiness she had completely destroyed. She left him for other men no less than three times, and each time he had forgiven her, on the promise of her reforming, but all to no pur pose. At last he made arrangements to allow her 10s . per week, provided she kept away from him. She, however, no sooner got hold of the money than she spent it in drink, and when all was gone she attempted her life. Mr. Beadon said it was a most melancholy ease, and he hardly knew how to deal with such a woman. He would, however, remand her to House of Correction for a week, and direct her to be placed under the spiritual care of the chaplain of the prison, who no doubt would impress upon her mind the wickedness of attempting her 16117# I life. WESTMINSTER. LWENBED VICTUALLERS' LAW.—James Meredith and John Maguire were charged, before Mr. Paynter, with creating a disturbance at the Cook Public-house, North street, Chelsea. Mr. James Fitzgerald, licensed victualler, and the proprietor of the house, said that shortly after 12 o'clock this morning the prisoners came to his house and asked him for some beer. Knowing them to be the associates of bad characters who infest the neighborhood he re fused to serve them, and he was the more desirous of doing so as a female of loose character, who was net sober, came i n i mme di ately after and j o i ne d th em . Mr. Paynt er —W ere the prisoners so b er ? Prosecutor—Th e y were, s i r. Upon my refacing to serve them on e o f th em took a glass from the counter and dropped it, w h en i t b roke to pieces. Mr. Paynter—Do you think it was done wilfully ? Prosecutor—l have no doubt of it, but Ido not know which of the two broke it. They became so disorderly, and their language was so very bad that I was compelled to send for a constable to take them into custody. Police-constable 13 239, said, that he upon reaching the house found it in a state of complete uproar, in consequence of the conduct of the prisoners, and there were several respectable tradesmen in front of the bar and in the parlour. As they would not be quiet he was obliged to take them into custody. Mr. Paynter told the prosecutor that he was bound to serve all persons applying for refreshment so long as they conducted themselves properly. Prosecutor—l am told by the police that I was liable to be summoned if I served convicted thieves. Inspector Cumming—The house is watched by the police, and I know the prosecutor has a deal of trouble in keeping out bad characters. Mr. Paynter—Bus you never told him not to give re freshment to convicted thieves if they behaved them- selves. Inspector Cumming—No, sir. The prisoners were held to bail in their own recog nisances to keep the peace. THAMES. BOLD ROBDZNIEN BY A MAN AND HIS WI /C.—Samuel Lady Lake's Grove, Stepney, Lucas, aged 34, a nd El eanor Lucas , his wife, aged 30, latea large of n Nn. s were7i charged with ste a li ng an eas y chair of and value 4/., f rom th e s h o p o f Mr. lrd e n:l3 Horsley-buildings, Willomatt, furniture dealer in the Whitechapel-road, and a washing table and stand worth 31. from the shop of Mr. Archdeacon, in the Mile -end-road. It appeared that the two furniture dealers missed the easy chair and the washing table and stand from outside their shops where they were exposed for sale on the same afternoon. Directly after the easy chair was stolen the female prisoner took it to the house of a neigh bour named Richat d Ward, ashoe maker, in Horsley-place, an d 150 yardsfro and she prti cu l ar l y reques t e d seized, a ze tte chair.

The female prisoner was in custody a short time ago at the Worship -street Police-court, for stealing a bed from an upholsterer's shop, and was dis charged, because nothing was then known about her. It was now stated by Police-sergeant Smith, No. 28 K, that the male prisoner was a shoemaker, and that both man and wife wer e a laz y , dis solute, and dishone s t couple, who would n ot work, and had been in the prac tice stealing an ything they could l a y th e i r h an d s on. suspected of stealing a l arge ma hogany f ron t of another furnit ure d ea l er ' s s hop, Theya b l e s f f r owemrethe and they had been seen dealing with one similar to that lost.

MACKAY, " BAILIE NICOL JAIME,' —The funeral of this respected gentleman took place from his house on Friday, at two o'clock in the after noon. The large attendance of friends bore testimony to the esteem in which the deceased was so deservedly held, and many a kindly memory mingled with their regrets for the good old man as they laid him down to his rest in the Calton Burying-ground—not very far from the scenes where, as the actor, he had passed the brightest hours of his life's day. There is often something peculiarly sad in the death of a great actor, so little have we been accustomed to associate with him, or with such a life as his, any thoughts of the grave and its stern realities. But in this instance there is only a natural feeling of regret, for our friend bad long ago put off the motley, and at peace with Heaven and with all meu, passed calmly away. He was an actor the like of whom we may never hope again to see—a delightful companion, a just friend, and a sincere Christian. —Edinburgh Express. BEAU BRUMMELL.—During the height of his prosperity I remember him coming in one night after the opera to Watier's, and finding the Macoa table full, one place at which was occupied by Tom Sheridan, who was never in the habit of playing, but having dined freely had dropped into the club, and was trying to catch the smiles of for tune by risking a few pounds which he could ill afford to lose. Brummell proposed to him to give up his place, and go shares in his deal ; and, adding to the 101. in counters which Tom had before him, 2001, for himself, took the cards. He dealt with his usual success, and in less than ten minutes won 1,5001. He then stopped, made a fair division, and, giving 7501. to Sheridan, said to him, "There, Tom, go home and give your wife and brats a supper, and never play again." I mention the anecdote as characteristic of the times, the set, and a spirit of liberality in Brummell, which with all his faults he possessed, and which was shows towards an old friend in a way that left no pretext for refusal. —Raikee .Teur nal THE LAWYER'S CONFIDENT.—One of the most in timate friends I have ever had in the world was Dick Denby, who kept a hairdresser's shop under the cloisters in the Inner Temple. I first made his acquaint ance from his assisting me, when a student at law, to engage a set of chambers ; he afterwards cut my hair, made my Bar wigs, and assisted me at all times with his valuable advice. He was on the same good terms with most of my forensic contemporaries. Thus he became master of all the news of the profession ; and he could tell who were getting on and who were without a brief—who succeeded by their talents, and who hugged the attorneys—who were desirous of becoming puisnejudges, and who meant to try their fortune in Parliament—which of the chiefs was in a failing state of health, and who was next to be promoted to the collar of SS. Poor fellow I be died suddenly, and his death threw a universal gloom over Westminster-hall—unrelieved by the thought that the survivors who mourned him might pick up some of his business—a consolation which wonderfully softens the grief felt for the loss of a favourite Nisi Prius letter. — Campbell's Lives of the Chief Justices. AMERICAN VIEW OF INDIAN AFFAIRS.— As we have constantly maintained since the outbreak of the dis turbances at Meerut, so we now repeat—England is contending with a mutinous army, and with a mutinous army only, and if she be not utterly recreant to all the traditions of her national history it is impossible that she should not come out of the contest victorious over all her enemies, whether in one, in two, or in all the presidencies of India. Blundering imbeciiity may, how ever, aggravate, as it has already aggravated, the diffi culties of the task, but it must and will be achieved. As Damiens said of that dreadful day of doom which was to witness his own death by tortures which are the eternal disgrace of the French monarchy, "La journee sera longue, mats elle finira," so may it be said of the trial which awaits Great Britain in the East the day be long, but it must c o o n i policy common than mistake come to an end—and it is irrational to expect of that end anything but the re-establishment of British autho rity upon a basis of broader justice to India and to England alike, and under the conditions of a sounder phas t ever tries in the past ; for it is an immense though a very m England has in times past been of essential importance to the prosperity of the metropolis. It is for the pro spective rather than for the actual value of her Imperial away over the Hindoo millions that England is now con tending. It is in the cause of the world's commerce yet to be, as well as of the interests of Christianity and of civilisation, that the baronets of the "gallant Tip perary" and the broadswords of the Highlanders are making sharp for the battle in Bengal and Oude. If India were to be released by England, then it is clear that the world at large would be simply the loser by so much more gold and silver as would be poured into India in consequence of the diminution and decay of the gradually growing demand for foreign goods which the rule of English civilisation alone has created and fostered ; and the commercial interests, as well as the religious and moral convictions of Christendom, are there fore quite as deeply involved as are any imaginary necessities of Great Britain in particular in the triumph of her armies over the disloyal and fanatical hordes of their enemies. Mahomedan India becomes a second China, controlling, however, the supply of staples much more essential to modern commerce than the silks and teas of the Celestial Empire. British India premises to become a regular and legitimate member of the family of nations. Annihilate the rule of England in India at this hour, and, save in Eastern elements of national prestige, the British empire would be to no positively appreciable extent a serious loser in power or in wealth. Reinforce Briti sh authorit y firml y in India, and the millions of Hindostan, multiplying their wants with their numbers under the wholesome influences of civilisation, will eventually cease to be the " sink of specie," and enter the markets of the world as buyers on terms of equality with the rest of mankind.—New York Times. WHAT JEWS CAN Do BESIDES MAKE MONEY.—Who composed "Il Barbiere ?" Rossini—a Jew ! Who is there that admires not the heart-stirring music of the " Huguenots" and the " Prophets ?"

We are in the midst of a terrible convulsion. Our business interests are threatened with utter ruin, and our working classes already feel the pres sure of want. The darkness thickens, and no eye can see the end of the accumulating trouble. But, gloomy as we find the position of our affairs, they are sunny and cheerful compared with those of our mother-land. Here we already know the worst of the calamity that has come upon the country. There the clouds are still gathering and they must expect two storms to burst upon them at once— each sufficient to try most severely the fortitude of any nation, and calculated to crush many beyond recovery. The winds from the East, where, not many months ago, England commanded the hom age of a vast and wealthy empire, come laden with the shrieks and groans of her slaughtered sons and outraged daughters, and even above these sounds ' of expiring misery are heard the imploring accents of little bands of heroes who are fighting against tremendous odds of ferocious mutineers, and bravely upholding their standard, though almost exhausted in the struggle. The little island is being drained of every hand that can be spared from the fac tory or the field. There is scarcely a family in the realm which has not contributed an arm for the fearful battle, and scarcely a fireside that does not miss a familiar face now absent in that tropic land of blood and horror, or hurrying to the point where England needs most desperate strokes. The strain upon the energies of our ancestral people is mighty; yet they bear it with an iron determination peculiar to a race born to conquer and command. They not only display no shrinking from the con flict, but dare to talk of their ultimate triumph as certain, and plan the punishment of those who have roused the ]ion's vengeful ire. Even while the struggle with the mutineers is most disa,strotis in its aspect this brave nation prosecutes a war . against the millions of China, and maintains the supremacy of its flag in every portion of the globe. Their morning drum-beat does not cease to follow the sun around the earth. But it is plain that this test of British,courage and strength is one of the severest ever yet applied, and it is even confessed that at the present hour their power in the East trembles upon the verge of annihilation—that Asia seems slowly slipping from their grasp. Just about the time that the news of further Indian disasters will reach England, a steamer will arrive at Liver pool from New York burdened with intelligence that will send a fearful thrill through the heart of the kingdom. This people, who already have two great wars upon their hands, will learn that the financial panic in this country has proved more thoroughly destructive than they had any reason to antic' pate ; that the debts due them in the United States cannot be paid, and that, instead of sending them gold, we are looking to them for a supply to relieve our distress. Each succeeding steamer will convey to them additional news of disaster, and, it is almost needless to say, will set in motion additional trains of ruin and misery among them. The great manufacturing towns, crowded with operatives, will be swept as with the breath of pestilence, and all the horrors of extreme poverty we may behold around us will be as nothing compared with what will bd experienced in those industrial cities, where labourers are never bletsed with extra wages,. and where there are no resources , such as we find in the great natural wealth of our country to fall back upon to recuperate. A kingdom which even iu the most prosperous times has its millions of paupers must at a period of distress following a financial convulsion exhibit such a mass of misery as will ap pal the heart, sicken the soul, and dim the eye of humanity. Not only will this suffering of the great working population make the strongest appeals to the charity of those who are untouched by the storm, but it will probably lead to tumult and violence, threatening the very existence of the Government. The English are a conservative people, and disposed to be loyal and devoted to the powers that be. But the desperation of the poor drives them to acts of unthinking indiscrimi nate fury, and they care not how they direct their rage 'to crush and destroy. Here is the home trouble which now combines with the bloody struggle in the East to darken the sky of Britain as it has seldom been darkened before. Let us trust that her energy and fortitude are sufficient to bear her through the double tempest. Again, we say, while we are lamenting over our own gloomy situation, let us not forget the straits in which our mother land is placed, and let us learn from her a lesson of patience and resolution which will render us truly a heroic people.—Philadelphia Evening Journal. WORDS WORTH ON POETRY. (From Professor Wilson's Works.) Of all poets that ever lived Wordsworth has been at once the most truthful and the most idealising ; external nature from him has received a soul, and becomes our teacher ; while he has so filled our minds with images from her, that every mood finds some affinities there, and thus we all hang for sustenance and delight on the bosom of our mighty mother. We believe that there are many who have an eye for nature and even a sense of the beautiful without any very profound feeling ; and to them Wordsworth's finest descriptivepassages seem often languid or diffuse, and not to present to their eyes any distinct picture. Perhaps sometimes this ob jection may be just; but to paint the eye is easier than to the imagination—and Wordsworth, taking it for granted that people can now see and hear, desires to make them feel and understand. Of his pupil it must not be said— " A primrose by the river's brim A yellow primrose is to him, And it is nothing more ;" the poet gives the something more till we start at the disclosure as at a lovely apparition—yet an ap parition of beauty till that moment seemed to usbut an ordinary bunch of leaves. In these lines is a humbler example of how recondite may be the spirit of beauty in any the most familiar thing be longing to the kingdom of nature ' • one higher far —but of the same kind—is couched in two immortal verses— " To mo the humblest flower that blows can give Thoughts that too often lie too deep for tears." In what would the poet differ from the worthy man of prose if his . imagination possessed not a beautify ing and transmuting power over the objects of the inanimate world ? Nay, even the naked truth itself is seen clearly but by poetic eyes ; and were a Bumph all at once to become a poet, he would all at once become stark-staring mad. Yonder ass licking his lips at a thistle, sees but water for him to drink in Windermere a-glow with the golden lights of setting suns. The ostler or the boots at Lowood, inn takes a somewhat higher flight, and for a moment, paus ing with currie-comb or blacking brush in his sus pended hand, calls on Sally the chambermaid forgra cious sake to look at Pull-wyke. The waiter, who has cultivated his taste from conversation with Lakers,leams their phraseology, and declares the sun set to be exceedingly handsome. The Laker, who sometimes has a soul, feels it rise within him as the rim of the orb disappears in the glow of softened file. The artist compliments nature by likening her evening glories to a picture of Claude Lorraine —while the poet feels the sense sublime " Of something far more deeply interfused, Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, And the round ocean and the living air, And the blue sky, and in the mind of man; A motion and a spirit that impels All thinking things, all objects of all thought, And rolls through all things." TuE OUTWARD BRAZIL AND RIVER PLATE MAIL. — The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Medway, Capt. J. Hammack, left Southampton yesterday with the monthly mails for the Brazils and River Plate, 134 passengers (among whom are Count Bellinghausen, B. Oliveira, Esq., &c.), a full cargo, specie of the value of 71,1331., and jewellery to the amount of 42,000/. IRRIGATION of SEWAGE.—Dr. Southwood Smith, Professor Way, and Mr. H. Austin, of the General Board of Health, have gone as a deputation to Milan to inspect works of irrigation there, with a view to the important question of the application of sewage to agricultural purposes, in connection with tie great metropolitan sewage problem in particular, and the utilisation of the sewage of towns in general. SOME DISTINCTIONS OF CASTES.—To the Brahmins all animal food, save that of fishes and kids, is fc.rbidden ; yet in some districts they will readily partake of the flesh of any animal whatever, if only, as in the case of other Hindoos, it be not killed with their own hand. The Rajpoots eat fish, mutton, and venison ; fowls, beef, and pork are held in abomination. Many castes follow the same rules. With some, however, pork is the fav ourite diet, beef only is prohibited. Those wh o shrink from the polletion of eating the flesh o f domest ic pou ltry will eagerly devour that of the jung le fowl, which . differs from the game cock only in size. All Hindoos consider themselves defiled by contact only with feathers ; among the tribes at the foot of the Himalayas, who are in other respects strict Hi ndoos, this prejudice does not exist. An earthen pot is polluted beyond redemption by being touched by one of an inferior caste ; a metal one suffers no such deterioration. Coolies will carry any load, however offensive, upon their heads ; bid them carry a man for a few paces, and, though it be a matter of life and death, they will answer you that it is the business of another caste. The Roliillas will sub mit to be flogged within an inch of their lives with a hathern martingale, but to be struck with a whip or cane would be an indelible disgrace , and very likely to s be resented with a bullet or a stab. Spirituous liquors are in general allowed only t o Pariahs. In somep arts r of Southern India the Brahmins parta ke of them with out scruple. Amo ng th e N airs of Malabar the women enjoy a plurality of husbands. Among the Tatiyars ' on the same coast, th ose w ithi n the degrees of consangun ity possess their wives in common. Many castes are only to be known from one anoth er by th e cut and colour of their clothes, the shape and arrangement of their trin kets, or some other equally frivolous and unimportant distinction.—/rving on Caste, CHEVALIER COSHING ANJ3 THE LADIES, (Front the New Pork Herald.) The knights of old were in the habit of wasting a great deal of valuable time by defending at sword's point the reputation cf some particular damsel to whom they inclined. The Chevalier Cushing goes further, and enters the li,t to do battle for all the ladies. He declares that they are not at all respon sible for the present financial vevu7sion ; that their flounces and furbelows are only a bagatelle in the question of exports and imports ; that their crino line did not stop the Erie Railway ; that their silks did . not break the Ohio Lift.: and Trust Company ; that their kid gloves and Lilliputian bonnets had nothing to do with the stoppage of the great dry goods houses; and further, that their style of dress is quite the correct thing; in every way. And he, the said Chevalier, makes public proclamation that he will defend this issue after , the good old chivalric custom. Hear ye, all men ! the Chevalier, armed at all points, his vizor: down, his lance in rest, awaits the combat. The Knight of Salamanca again is in the field. Now, we do not yield to any man in devotion to the fair sex, but we we bound to say that♦ nearly all our countrywomen who have money or credit, or could obtain either, have been for several years shamefully extravagant ; that they are almost re sponsible for the excessive imports of articles of luxury, which imports have drained our specie reserve and loaded down our warehouses with articles which are of no earthly use ; and that they are even now spending too much money for articles they do not need., but which they buy simply on account: of a decline , in price. Let us see the figures :-- _ _ The total value of the imports—for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1855, was 314,639,942 dole., of which, for articles of luxury consum e d by women, we have spent 43,624,553 dole. Forty-three millions of dollars ! That is equal to the whole product of the gold mines in California for one year, and that would have more than sufficed to save us from the crisis. Of this sum 31,218,766 dols. were paid for silks and manufactures of silks ; 6,376,853 dole. for laces and embroideries ; shawls, 2,529,771 dole. ; gloves, 1,344,550 dole. ; furs, 864,731 dole. ; jewellery, 844,630 dole. ; silk and worsted piece goods, 1,336,247 dols. We ex pended two millions more for silk than for final) and so on. We have omitted many items which would tell against the women, as it may be urged that men consume a portion of the articles above enumerated. The articles omitted—bijouterie, ar tificial flowers, French shoes and boots, fancy ar ticles, and a thousand and one fripperies that make up that wonderful mystery, a fashionable woman's attire—would more than balance the account. There is a little item of 42,000 dols. for perfumed soap, which is quite a good index to the whole thing. Again, it must be remembered that these figures are taken from the Treasury reports, and that the articles are 'valued at something under the whole sale rate, while our fair countrywomen are charged upon all such matters as laces at least 100 per cent. profit. A set of laces which cost in Paris 20 dole. could not be bought here in flush times for less than 60 dole. It should further be remembered that 20,000 or 30,000 of our - women either teside abroad or go to Europe nearly every sum mer. The amount of rich stuffs—silks, satins, vel vets, shawls, and jewellery —which they run through the Custom-house free is something enor mous—not less than a million dollars' worth a-year ; and all luxuries of not the slightest use to anybody on the face of the earth. We have seen on board.. one ship a lady enter as her personal baggage 20 large trunks. No princess in the world would have so much. The travelled American cannot fail to have no ticed the marked distinction between the prome nade dresses of our women and of those abroad. The French and English women go out to walk in plain, neat, serviceable dresses, while ours drag their heavy silks in the gutters. American women are guilty of shameful extravagance and bad taste in wearing for walking dresses robes—which are made for the carriage or the drawing-room. Moro we might allege, for the subject is of the deepest importance ; but, statistically, quite enough has been proved. The worst fact of all remains to be stated. As far as the question of fashion goes —how a robe shall be cut, or the exact size of a hat, or the measure of circumference to be allowed to a skirt—that is no great matter. If women desire to make themselves the targets of coarse jokes, it is not for us to deny them that luxury. But we will put to the Chevalier Cushing and those who think with him the plain proposition that, as the women of America are placed on a pedestal but a little below the angels, as they toil not (we mean who are guilty of extravagances such as we have noted), neither do they spin, the men have to pay allthebills—whether so much money can be spent for luxuries and be a mere bagatelle in the question of exports and im ports. We do not know that crinoline and kid gloves broke the Ohio Life and Trust Company— probably the president and directors can tell better. But the majority of our women in good circum stances are drags upon their husbands instead of being helpmeets to them. If one does her duty simply it' is trumpeted through all the papers as an example of Spartan virtue. The inference is" plain that such examples are almost unprecedented. Women rarely throw away their own money ; no one is more prudent and careful than a woman who has a fortune in her own right ; but once her taper fingers Close on another'is cheque-book the grasp of Hercules could not unloose them. The Chevalier Cushing asks, "Did the women break the dry goods houses ? Yes. The women in the flush times of '54-'55, spent twice as much money as they ought ; they were capricious and difficult to please—they demanded new styles—the magasins of Paris and the manufactories of Lyons and Valen ciennes and Brussels were ransacked for them. The importations were double what they should have been. There was nothing to pay for them with. The crisis came. The houses broke, and their coun ters groan with stuffs for which there is no market. Nowhere in the world are the women dressed so badly and so expensively as in America. When we go abroad we are astonished by the simple morning and promenade costumes of the daughters of the English nobility —men with rent-rolls to which an American fortune is a drop in the sea. A. French Countess, with a fixed income of 100,0001. a-year, will not spend half so much on her dress as the wife of a New York merchant whose business may give him a profit of 10,000 dole. a-year, and may bring him in debt to double that amount. Let not the Chevalier Cushing look at the vulgar display made at Saratoga, Newport, or Cape May, and compare it with the modest attire of the aristocracy at Baden, Brighton, or Biarritz. The fact is, our women take French lorette fashions at second hand, and were they so attired in a European city they would be taken for what they seem to be rather than what ' they are. We trust that both the women of America and their champion will think seriously of these things, for they are the truth, and just new we must drink the cup, however bitter it may be. We do not be lieve that there is anything radically wrong in our women ; we are willing to believe with the sage of Newburyport, that any one of them, were she pro perly instructed, would be "as prompt to please by frugality as by luxury, and proud to make any sacrifice of fashion at the voice of duty and love." We believe that manygood women in the land will make this sacrifice cheerfully, for the sex is quick enough in perception and prompt enough in action. We hope they will all remember the lesson they are now learning, but we cannot sincerely say that we believe in the working of any such miracle. The eleventh satire of Juvenal is as true now as it was 18 centuries ago. MARRIAGE FACILITIEi ONE HUNDRED TEARS AGO. The law of marriage had hitherto been so loos© that all kinds of hurried and clandestine unions could be formed all over England with more facility than they are now at Gretna-green. No notice or publication of banns was required, no licence was looked for, and any parson might perform the cere mony at any time or in any place, without consent of parents or any other preliminary conditions what ever ; and the worst or the most needy of the clergy would often forward the most rash or disgraceful marriages for the sake of the paltry fee. The great temple of the pseudo Hymen was the Fleet Prison. Parsons confined for debt, scoundrels fuddled with gin and tobacco, would marry in three minutes, and for the small charge of 2s, any couple that presented n themselves. "In walki ng a l ong the street thisin p my r youth," says Pennant, on t h e side ex. son, I have often been tempted by the question: Sir, i will you be pleas e d to walk in and be married ? Along this most lawless space was hung up the fre quent sign of a male and female hand conjoined with " Marriages performed within," written be neath. A dirty fellow invited you in. The parson was seen walking before his shop ; a squalid pro fligate figure, clad in a tattered plaid night-gown, with a fiery face, and ready to couple you for a dram of gin or roll of tobacco." To put 9. stop to these crying abusesa bill wasprepared by the judges under the auspices of Lord Chancellor Hardwick°, and brought into the Upper House. It provided that all marriages should henceforward take place either by banns published on three successive Sundays, or by licence granted in a regular manner ; and that all other marriages should be void, and the parson that solemnised any such transported for seven years. —Knight's Pictorial History of England.
