MONEY DIARKET A ND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, the sales were 12,000 bales, 2,000 for export and on speculation. The Railway Share Market vas quiet. _ _ The Bank of Enzland return for the week - ending the 15th in 4., exhibits some satisfactory changes ; and since that date there is reason to presume that th e improvement has continued. Besides an in crease in the reserve of notes, there is a consider able declension in the other securities. The steady accumulation in this department has been viewed With some anxiety for some weeks past, and now a contrary movement has commenced, the position of the Bank has materially improved. There is a araall reduction of bullion, but this was fully ex pected, owing to the preparations that had to be mode for the remittances by the steamer Colombo °I? the 20th. The decline of upwards of three quarters of a million in the Treasury balance is d ue to the payment of 1,125,0001. to the agents of the Danish Government for the redemption.of the S ound Dues. The principal items and the chang es 'they present are as subjoined : Active Circulation Decrease 154,415 Bullion 11,259,906 Decrease Rest Increase Public Deposits Decrease Other Deposits Increase .

Had it not been for this intelligence the market would have, no doubt, improved, owing to the easier state of the money market, the en couraging Bank returns, and the arrival of g,ld t the Great Britain.

I awoke and heard 'boom," toornf hearing guns fired (for so it seemed) at regular intervals from the fort, We thought the city had risen, and a night alarm all through the cantonments was the result ;' we were 'la at our rendezvous in no time. This was caused by the explosion of little mines in the city in honour of a wedding.

To-day was appointed for hearing a petition for winding up the affairs of the above company under the 5 and 6 Vic., for winding up Joint-Stock Com• panies. Mr. Roxburgh appeared in support of the petitior, and stated that the company was formed in March, 1856, and it was proposed that the capital should be 40,0001., to be raised on 4,000 shares of 101. each, with a call of 21. per share, 3,743 shares had been subscribed for, and on 3,256 had been paid up, thus making a cappital of 33,5461. The undertaking was commenced, but entirely failed, the working expenses being more than the receipts, and the whole of the capital had, in the words of the act, been "lost, exhausted, or become unavoidable." The facts Were verified by the secretary, and he (Mr. Ri 'c hore)) did not think that under the circtunstancee there could he any_opposition to an order being made in the usual manner. Mr. Chapplo appeared for some of the shareholders, and objected to the petition on the ground that the peti tioner having paid up his shares was not in a position to pre9snt a petition under this act. _ Mr. Roxburgh was heard in reply, and contended that if that was the construction to be put on the act, it would be impossible to say who could present a petition, Supposing all the shareholders had paid up, no one could present it. His Honour over-ruled the objection. After some further discussion, in which it was urged that an adjournment should take place on the ground that the statements in the petition were not correct; and that there was no ground for saying the assets were uavailable His Honour said that, under all the circumstances, be felt inclined to grant a reasonable delay, so that the general shareholders relight inquire into the facts. Mr. Roxburgh urged that such a course ought not to be taken, especially as there was no affidavit, or the slightest evidence to contranict the allegatlone in the petition, and the greatest evil might be done by delay, as an action had been brought against the co►npany, and judgment might be taken nut Minuet •immediately. The gardens were now open, and money was being taken daily, and therefore an official liqui dation ought to be appointed. On the 13th of August the company was served with three writs, and those creditors would be entitled, probably on Monday, to other executions. Tire shareholders could not in any way be prejudiced by the order being made. His Honour ultimately held that the case should be adjourned till Thursday next. It aas stated that an offer had been made by Mr. Beale to take the garden's for 12 nights but which could not be done without some order had been made. Mr. Jones, Mr. Chidley, Mr. Toombs, and other gentlemen attended for shareholders. The directors have convened a general meeting of the shareholders for Tuesday the 25th to take the matter into consideration. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AT THE PANTHEON, OXFORD -STREET.—Anne Taylor, a respectably dressed, middle-aged female, was charged with stealing various articles from the stalls at the Pantheon, Oxford-street. Elizabeth Campion said that she was taking care of a stall belonging to a young woman named Charlotte Whiting, when, while she was looking far an article, she heard a heap fall from the counter. She looked round, and saw the prisoner going away. At the same moment she mi-sed a lady's morocco leather reticule. She fol lowed the prisoner, and accused her of having taken it. She denied that she had, but on being pressed to pro duce it, she gave it up. Mr. Beadon--What is the value of it I Complainant-10s. 6d., sir. The policeman who had the prisoner in custody pro duced a pair of goloshes and a morocco box she had in her possession, which had been taken from other stalls. The prisoner obseived that the articles was caught by her shawl. Thomas Brown, the porter, said that the manager of the Pantheon wished the charge to be dealt with sum marily. Mr. Beadon asked the prisoner if she was guilty. The prisoner rep!ied that she was innocent, on which Mr. Beadon observed that she must go for trial. After some consideration she came back and pleaded guilty. She was sent for six months to the House of Correc tion. IMPUDENT ROBBERY IN THE STREET.—Charles Ryder, aged 17, was charged with stealing a meat safe, the property of Mr. Symonds, Hanover-place, Oxford-street, and which was in front of the shop. He pet it on his shoulder and ran away with it. He pleaded guilty, and was also sent for three months. DARING- SHOP ROBBERY.--Michael Cartel].) was charged with stealing five pairs of boots from a shop No. 47, Wardour street. He was sent for six months to the Howe of Correction. THAMES. Li. T. min w num.. a. tblZ, . la"..T.1 1 .1 1 1 1.1 . 1 1 Th.+ L a solicitor, applied to Mr. Yardley for an order to corn• pel a corn "dealer, named Hugh Wood, residing in the ,Minories, to deliver 16 bags of rice to Mr. Page of the Commercial rice mills, Limehouse, from whom they were.stolen by men in his employ in conjunction with a fellow named Hugh Osborne, of Spring Garden-place, near the Green Dragon, Stepney, who was 'liberated on bail by Mr. Selfe and absconded. Mr. Best recapitu• lated the circumstances of the Extensive robberies of ries to the amount of 9001. from Mr. Page's mill in the course of eight months, the apprehension and flight of Osborne, the arrest of five men in Mr. Page's employ, and the conviction of a receiver named Best at the best Clerken well sessions who was sentenced to ten months imprison ment and bard labour. Mr. Wood had been applied to and asked. to restore some rice stolen from Mr. Page's premises, and agreed to do so. Mr. Yardley thought the application ought to have been made to the court where Best, the receiver, was tried. Mr. Best—The application was made to the Court of Quarter Sessions, and an order made for the bags of rice to be restored to Mr. Page. Mr. Wood has had notice to deliver. The rice is in possession of a police sergeant. Mr. Yardley—Why does he object to restore the rice to the owner ? Mr. Best--The police sergeant don't object. He wishes to have your worship's order. Mr. Yardley—l don't Eee that I have any jurisdiction in this matter. Mr. Best—Read the 29th section of the Police Courts Act, the 2d and 3d Viet., cap. 71, which conferred the power on the magistrate to order the restoration of the property to the owner. Mr. Yardley—There is not the shadow of a doubt the rive was stolen. from Mr. Page, and he has been a great sufferer. Mt. Wood—No doubt of that, but I wish to consult my solicitor before I part with posse-sion of the rice. Mr. Yardley said he would not act on the judgment of Mr. Wood's solicitor, but he must act on his own judgment, and accordingly made an order for Mr. Wood and the police sergeant to deliver the rice now claimed t ) Mr. Page. Mr. Wood could try Mr. Page's tight to the rice by an action, if he should be so advised.

We understand, indeed, that from almost every quarter there is a ' general complaint about a scarcity of birds, although nothing is said about the pre sence of disease. Io the Pillochry district the whole of the sportsmen have been much behind in the number of birds bagged. On the Rannoch moors the sport hag been proved deficient. Lord Mexborough killed only 5. brace on the 12 h. The Gaiak pc.rty, numbering four , on the Dm guns, killed only 18i brace—jest about a fourth of the li quantities of nnoe number bter, killed ‘m o o r, shot la:t yea r. cybrace. Considerableento grouse have reached Perth this week—the Highland mail bringing, on an average, upwards of 50 boxes each night ; but as far as we can learn a large proportion of , the birds are young, which certainly does not look well. In fact, there seems a strong probability that for some years past the keenness of sportsmen, combined with unfavour able seasens'which generated fatalidiseases, has tended to exhaust the moors ; and a year's respite would 'almost appear to be necessary for the proper stocking of most of them." The Ayr Advertiser of Thursday reports : "As we anticipated, this bits been a good, but by no means a great, grouse season, In many districts there was too thin a sprickling of parent birds to render even a good season possible. In these districts of late years sheep pasture has been superseding heather to a great extent, the burning of heather depriving the grouse of their best breeding and feeding ground. On such tracts, from two to six brace per gun per day are about the usual returns we have heard of. Where the heather, is good, and attention has been paid to the destruction of hawks and "boodles," the ?port has been as good as for many years past, and a great contrast to that on the barren moors of last season. The heaviest bag to one ' gun yet reported is that of M r. Buchanan, Barskimming , who killed 27 brace en the 12th, on ' D alblair.

A hiericart, Life. 2 vols. Bentley. We have here a very clever work, eminently cal culated to engage general attention. It presents us with some striking social sketches, and also fur nishes the more important traits,;that stamp the characteristics of a nation in the peculiarities of its people. Although to some the New World's towns and their denizens may not hold out great attrac tions as objects of regard, or subjects of study— though the lovers of culture and refinement will look in vain for a new Greece or a second Rome— there are marvels to excite and interest, if they are not endued with the majestic beauty, and the ar tistic grace, that immortally illuminate the memory of the cities, of the Violet Crown, and the Seven Hills. The reader is introduced to all the different phases of existence in the town, the village, and the wilderness. Tho account of the creation of the cities of the Great West is surprising : " Where, a dozen years before, the wigwams of Indian villages had smoked, be found cities already larger than many that for centuries have occupied the attention of history." The hero, Thomas Quin land, was born in a settlement of the same name in the United States. His father was very proud of his family. Among his ancestors he counted " one of the immortal company of the Mayflower." The first years of Thomas's life were very tranquil, but in the depths of the forest he learned the wisdom that cities cannot always teach—to know bivaself, and to regard the world ia its true light. He was afterwards more or less influenced by the different persons with whom he came in contact ; and at times conflicting opinions seized his mind, but he never finally lost that reliance on his own energies which is the key-note to success, and that innate belief in the good and the true which is the inhe rent birthright of the child of Nature. It is inte resting to trace the rise and progress of the children of the settlement. " From such little border companies are gathered the bravest, the strongest in the countless hosts that go to and fro upon the earth, that make seas the highways of commerce, that ~ prepare new habitations in the wilderness." The author also describes with great power the efforts made by many of the youths to obtain education, bow they worked for their living while struggling to master knowledge. One of the few friends of the hero had performed great things for himself ; he art ived at a college in Virginia without a dollar, but he did not give up hope, and he succeeded in his task. "In the house of one of the professors he performed the duties of a servant for his board. He sawed wood, did anything by which he could earn an honest shilling, and when he was twenty-one years of age he graduated with the first honouts of his class, not a penny in debt." The diary of the hero is not so much filled up with his own individual experiences as with the brief outlines of the history of those he meets with in the journey of life, and with the de scription of the places he travels to. He tries a variety of employments at different times, and all these things materially add to the stores of his records a richness and rarity. One of the most re markable persons he encountered was a Frenchman of the name of Agincourt. A life of great affliction had partially affected his mind, but he was a very kind and worthy man notwithstanding his striking peculiarities. He was haunted through life by a most wicked man, who under different names in several countries had perpetrated great outrages. He came to America as a Dr. Vampire, and by craft and sub tlety possessed himself of the Quinland Settlement. He was not able however with all his arts to stifle conscience, but was perpetually a prey to torment ing fancies. He continually muttered to himself, " Dies free, dies ilia," and he was certainly one of all others to shudder at its advent. His notions of preferment were too much at last even for the pushing people a his adopted country, and he who under the mask of the law, had turned families from their homes was himself a victim to Judge Lynch. Adele Agincourt is a pleasing character, she is strange at times, however, from being under the influence of supernatural agencies. She and her father believe in spirit-rapping, and the idea of her departed mother, hovering over her, and al ways informing her hen anything is to occur to her, appears of course extraordinary to those who ignore such infatuations. However, it may at tract some to dwell upon the working out of such a thought. Thomas Quinlaud leads on the whole a melancholy life, be has 110, one to sympathise with him. His father is of a totally different nature and cannot understand the character of his son in its depth and profundity. Thomas is seldom at home, he - wanders on the highways of the world's great, cities, and lingers by the twilight of eternal forests he canna+ Peat: in a. si mnla S+sl.+A rw ha ctai-;,,Aarl arm, common things. He was too contemplative to succeed so well as his more praletical friends who were definite in their purposes, and did not pause to analyse causes with their reflective companion. Quinland was deeply hurt with the indifference of some, and indignant at the presumption of others. Hewassufciently acute and discerning to form a cor rect estimate of persons in general, and could thus be hold the discrepancy, between their real value and their suppo-ed worth, "I could not help thinking how it would mutually stand with us, if we were suddenly transported to a city not built with hands, which is eternal in the heavens. How rich may there appear the soul of many a beggar, and how poor the soul of many a king." Towards the con clusion the story assumes a more decided com plexion, and becomes of greater interest, indeed in passages it is exciting from its complicated pl,ts, and critical juncture s. There are a great many graphic sketches interspersed in these volumes, Morley, the gambler, is very life-like. With the scenery of the places vividly described, we have the actors on the world's stake delineated with a sur passing skill, and the passing events recorded with a surprising intelligence. The chronicles ofQuinland will be welcomed by all who desire to increase their knowledge of the " Land of the West," while the admirers of America will appreciate the full and complete survey of the inner and outer life here met with, the panoramic display thus afforded them— " Of the young and strong republic that has filled the world with fame And with great praise and marvel of the Angle-Saxon name." Some of the anecdotes here mentioned are very amusing, in the course of his adventures Quinland tried romance writing, but lie was not well received at all times. I called on the editor of a weekly paper who publishes novelettes. He had thick lips, a coarse brutal face, and his manners' were those of a savage. He asked whether I had crammed my story well with thunder storms, brigands, pirates, love, blood, and murder. I answered in the negative ; whereupon he stared at me with a look of contempt and pity, remarking, with a sneer, that in this fast country and fast age we must have fast novels or none. The father of the hero relating the fortunes of his family brings forward the following curious speci men of a notability, " One night, in the quiet village of Battlefield, there was heard a great cry in the burying-ground. Every body was terrified, and pretty soon the whole village was collected around the minister's house, shivering with fear, and inquiring of the pious man if the judgment hadn't come. The minister knew it wasn't the judg ment, but was afraid the witches had come back. He osllod Deacon Quinland into his study, and wired him to help him in prayer. ' No,' said the deacon, ' I'm blest if I'll pray now ; something else's got to be done, and right off. He buttoned up his coat, went straight home, took down his big horse-whip, and ran into the burying ground, whistling all the way. And what do you think ho found there ? He found a crczy fellow sitting straddle of a grave, holding du to the tomb-stone, and crying out with all his might, 'Ye dead, come to judgment ! Didn't Deacon Quinland lay his horse-whip on the fel low. The minister said, in his sermon the next Sunday, that, in all human probability, the godly courage of the very worthy and honest Deacon Quinland had saved t-i parish from all the horrors of witchcraft." The following remarks are characteristic of the style of the work. The mysterious cx-post-facto " we" of newspapers and history never encounter any of the difficulties of time and space. "We " must be living, invisible examples of the pure transcendental, for " we " pertain absolutely to the unconditioned. Other mortals have to bother their brains about steamboats, railways, telegraphs, and other means for abreviating time and shortening space ; but " we " are troubled with nothing of the sort. Count less generations have been , toiling upon the earth, to build cities, to found empires, to enact laws, to c m struct temples of wcrship, to open highways of com merce, to write books, to paint pictures, to hew statues, to find the keys to'the celestial realms of music, to spin, weave, tan, grind, bake, brew, &c. ; the Present steps into the shoes of the dead Past, and, like a young cox comb time,an a h e e d i r e , a i irreverently the s wonders un, v i w a , while the plodding astronomer is t " governor" didn't do this and didn't do that ; why he left everything so incomplete, so out of order, so unsat isfactory; but " we," irresponsible dogs that we are, leave the new generation and the old to fight out their own quarrel ; " we " don't care what, hypothetically , would become of the Present, if the ungrateful fellow had not inherited from the Past all that is sindicated by the names of Moses, Plato, Lycurgus, Homer, Justinian, Columbus, Mozart, Fulton, Gutenberg, Arkwright, and others ; " we," the fated chroniclers of things passed and passing , go from place to place with.a single bound of imagination, even drop far down the voids of van htyhethme van ishedold taking his lunch or adjusting his glass.

Think you, Shakspeare saw no more than you see in the scenes of daily life ? Delhi, the City of the Great Mogul ; or, Six Years in India. By Mrs. Cohn Mackenzie. Bentley. This is one of Mr. Bentley's useful cheap series, and is a new edition of Mrs. Colin Mackenzie's works of " The Mission, the Camp, and the Zenana." At the present epoch this work is full of interest, as although it was written many years auo, it gives an account of the various tribes of Ilindostan, the Ilimdow, Sikhs, Affghans, and all the little details of national pecularities, which can only be obtained on the spot. The authoress travelled over a great part of India, and by no means confined her observations to Delhi, although that name has now been bestowed on this edition in consideration doubtless of the great pub lic interest that attaches to the stronghold of the rebels. Here is a description of it : So my visit is recorded in the chronicles of the kings of Delhi. I will just give you some account of Delhi, from an interleaved Gazetteer with MS. notes, by Sir T. Metcalf. That pretty canal we saw n ear Karual, is the one which conveys the waters of the Jamna from Kurual to Delhi, and is of the greatest importance to the latter city, as both the Jamne and the wells at that place are adulterated with natron and salt, so that there is hardly any pure water save from the canal* Old Delh is said to have been twenty miles in circumference, and this is borne out by the extent and magnificence of the ruins which remain. The whole distance between this and the Kut.lb is covered with magnificent tombs and remains cf palaces, including the observatory and the tomb of Safdar Jaug, second Vazir or Nawab of Oude. The appearance of this immense plain studded with ruins, reminds me of the Campagna near Rome. Iu one spot I counted fourteen domes in sight in one direction, so that they might all have been included in a moderate-sized sketch. Those visible on all sides would have to be reckoned by scores. Modern Delhi was built by Shah Jehan, 1631 ; it oontains between '23,000 and 24,000 dwelling-houses, mostly pucka, and two magnificent streets, one a mile long by AO yards broad. The palace was built by Shah Jehan, who also erected the Jamma Masjid. The en trance to the palace is through a most stately and lofty gateway of red stone (like the walls), and of such great length that the interior is now used as a public bazar. The Da wan i Am was filled with lumber and slseping soldiers of the king's private guard, but the raised throne and its fine Italian mosaics are but little injured. The Dewan i Khas, which is welt described as an open quadrangular arcaded terrace of white marble- ' has suf fered greatly from the stones being pick e d out from the mosaic work. The Moti Ma,jid, built by Aurangzab, is a beautiful little'domestic chapel of pure white mar ble, with a raised balcony adjoining, looking out on the gardens. The preface is written at the present time, and as the wife of an officer and a resident in India, Mrs. Mackeuzie's opinion of- the present difficulties is entitled to some respect. She emphasises the fact that it is a Mutiny and not an insurrection, and says : . . The chief causes of the mutiny are the dissatisfaction of the Mubarumadans at being deprived of their supremacy, and the intrigues of the deposed princes. No doubt it arises from a widely-spread Muhammadan conspiracy, in which the Musalinans, who in India have adopted all the prejudices of caste, have availed them selves of the pretext aff)rded by the greased cartridges (as they did of the new head-dress at Velcro to rouse the Hindus. It is a Hindu pretext, but a Muhammadan motive. That which has rendered the mutiny possible is the separation between the European officers and the Sepahis. Tue officers are better men, both morally and intellectually, than they were forty years ago, and, as a body, unrivalled for integrity and for both military and administrative talent, for the simple reason that our countrymen have nowhere such a carriers ouverte aux talents as in India. Why, then, have they less influence ? Why is the army in • a worse condition than formerly ? Because the Government have, Ist, by their abAird system of centralization, deprived offloers of all power of reward or punishment, so that even Sir Charles Napier, when Governor in Sinde, could not punish a Bengal Sepal under his orders : and 2ndly, by the pernicious inter• ference of civilians, from the Goveraor-General down wards, in purely military affairs. The officers lose all heart ; the Sepahi loses all re spect. If the Sepahis were again made dependent on their officers, if the latter had the power of rewarding and punishing, their old intercourse, influence, and affection would revive. Personal influence is the only sure hold we have on the Indian army, and this has of late been systematically discouraged. As regards the much-discussed question of inter ference with the prejudices of caste, she gives her opinion that this pretext is made the most of by the waives. Great ignorance prevails among Europeans as to what really constitutes and affects caste ; and consequently they yield when they should be firm, and are incautious and obstinate where should yield. A native will often allege his caste as a pretest for not doing something which he imagines contrary to his dignity. Nothing affects a man's caste but eatini, drinking, or smoking. Brahmans and Raj puts will and do dig, make bricks, build, and perform any other manual labour; but of course, if the plea is successful, his caste becomes more and more delicate and exacting. If the objector's services were Quietly ili.pensed with, no difficulty would be made by his successor It is owing to this ignorance that Bengal Sepahis have been allowed to refuse any duty they had no fancy for, on the plea of caste; and it was this which, on the occasion of the above mutiny, led Lord Dalhousie solemnly to war❑ all officers against "interfering with the religion of the the natives," not understanding that it was a question of police, not of religion. As affording a glimpse into domeqic life in India some years since, the work is an interesting nar rative, while recent events lend importance to anything calculated to throw light on the national characteristics. No doubt, its this cheap and com modious form, Mrs. Mackenzie's w'crk will have a large circulation. TIIE DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES BiLL. We have received a copy of this important bill an amended in committee of thewhole House of Commonr, read a third time, and sent up yesterday evening for the concurrence cf the House of Lords, in which assembly it originated. The bill now contains 66 clauses. It puts an end to the jurisdiction of all the ex sting ecclesiastical courts, as regards questions of marriage (except as far as relates to the granting of marriage licenses), and enacts that all pending suits in causes and matters matrimonial shall be transferred to, dealt with, and decided by the new Court of Marriage and Divorce, as if the same had been therein originally instituted. The new " Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes" (so styled by the bill) will be a court of re cord and court of the Lord High Chancellor, the Chief Justices, and the Chief Baron of the three super c , ,urts of common law, and the judge of the Court of Probate constituted by an Act of the present session. Decrees of divorce a mensd et thoro will henceforwrrd cease, and instead thereof, the new court will pronounce I a sentence of "judicial separation," which will have the same force and effect. The judge of the Court of Probate will be styled the "Judge Ordinary" of the New Court of Divorce, an f have full authority to Lear all matters arising therein, by himself or with one or more of the other judges, his colleagues, except petitions for the dissolution or annulling of marriages, and applications for new trials of questions or issues before a jury, bills of exception, special verdicts and special cases. Petitions for the dissolution of marriages, and the other excepted cases, must be heard by three judges at the least, of which the Judge Ordi nary to be one. The court will sit in such place in Lon don, or in the county of Middlesex, as the Queen in Council may from time to time appoint. Advocates or proctors now practising in the. ecclesiastical courts, and all barristers, attorneys, and solicitors entitled to prac tise in the superior courts at Westminster, will be entitled to practise in the new Court of Divorce and Matrimonial Causes. A sentence of "judicial separation" (having the effect of the old divorce from bed and board) may be ob tained under the bill, either by the husband or the wife, on the ground of adultery, cruelty, or causeless desertion for two years and upwards. Applications for such se parations are to be made by either party by petition to the court, or to any judge of assize held in the locality where the parties reside or last resided, or to the Court of Quarter Session', or to the Recorder of the city or borough in which the parties are or were last resident. The local authorities thus pointed out will have full power to receive such applications and to decree a "judicial separation ;" they may also order alimony for the wife. An appeal, however, will lie to the Judge Ordinary of the regular central court from the decrees of these local authorities, but no such appeal will 'stay the interim, executi, n of the order for separa ration. Wives deserted by their husbands may at any time apply to a police magistrate, or to the petty sessions, for an order to protect property earned by themselves, or of which they may have become possesbsedus• since the secession of their husbands, against their ara. band or their husband's creditors. Decrees of a s o eP, or tion obtained during the absence of the h o usb Wives wife may be reversed on application and lq consideredafezites soles "judicially separated" as regards questions of w p i r li o property, for the temporary and contract and suing. muchmarried couples.

Adulterers may be, made co-respondents to petitions for divorce, and contested matters of fact may be tried, if the parties insist, by a jury. If the Court of Divorce be satis fied that there has been no collusion, condonation, or connivance, and that the charge of the petitioner is proved, the marriage will be absolutely and finally 4r dissolved, 20 20 to 20 20 20 100 100 100 20 20 100 100 20 50 20 79 35 5i • II 19i lld I 2. 97 i I :4; 521 31 3 981 94 9 1 20 1041 5 1024 I 111 93i 4 I 83fi i I Si si 391 i zo I 12! 101 I 21 pm 55i with the proviso that the decree to that eff-ct shall not be pronounced if the petitioner has been guilty of ado!. tezy or unreasonable delay in presenting the petition, or of having deserted the other party, " without reason• able excuse," before the act of adultery complained of, or of Wilful neglect or misconduct conducing to the adultery. Alimony might be awarded to wives, even is the event of the marriage being thus dissolved. Husbands may claim damages from adulterers if they please, and, such claims will be heard and tried on the same princi ples, in the same manner, and subject to the same rules and regulations as actions for trim. con., the damages being determinable by the verdict of a jury. Adulterers, made co-respondents, may be mulcted is the whole of the costs. The custody of children will be provided for by interim orders of the Court of Divorce. Questions of fact m,ay be tried before the court by the verdict of a jury, spacial or common, and the court may direct issues to try matters of fact in any court of coin. men law. A number of clauses refer to the mode and forms of procedure before the court. All witnesses will be sworn and examined orally in open court, he court, decisions iasn ,lau where their- attendance can be secured. An appeal to onill thelie cases f fullrom where thedecrees Ordinary i it33 r es y s) authorised r f i stehde appeal t ' T e u ( from lgedecide dissolving marriages will lie from the Court of Divorce to the House of Lords (within three month , ). Clause 55 enacts that after the lapse of this period allowed for appeal, and supposing the decree of disso lution to stand fast, "it shalt be lawful for the respec tive parties to-the marriage to marry again, as if the prior marriage bad 'been dissolved by death," provided that " no clergyman in holy orders of the United Churcla of England and Ireland shall be compelled to solemnize the marriage of any person whose fornetr marriage may have been dissolved on,the ground of his or her adultery, or be liable to any suit, penalty, or censure for solemnising or refusing to solemnise the marriage of any such per. son." The following clause, however (56), provides that, although a minister may refuse to solemnise such mar riage himself, he musr, nevertheless, permit any other minister of the establishment, officiating in the diocese, to perform the marriage service in the - parochial church or chapel. Cause 57 terminates the scandal of actions for trim. con. The fees under this bill will be collected by stamps, to be "stamp duties" under the management of the Inland Revenue Department. Clause 62 secures compensation to proctors in the Ecclesiastical Court two years hence, at the bands of the Treasury; the compensation to be calculated on a comparison, ire each case, of the average clear gains of the three years, before the passing of the act, and the two years succeed. ing. The compensation will, if granted, be a life annuity, such annuity in no cage to exceed one moiety of the an• nual loss ascertained 'aseaforesaid. The salary of the judge of the Court of Probate if he be appointed judge ordinary of the new Court of Divorce (as is professed); will be 5,000/. a year; but such judge, if afterwards appointed judge of the Court of-Admiralty, will be en titled to an increase of salary. The rules 6f procedure and a yearly account of fees, ste., are to be laid before Parliament. And now, like the committee of the House of Commons, we have exhausted the clauses of the Di vorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill, which may be ex pected in the course of a few days to become an Act of Parliament, and, as such, part of the statute law of the land.
