The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ca dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not he found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved chili pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has Leen the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth. and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rea. eause of such attack may be, and thus he will he enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which arc sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

REGISTRATION. MIDDLESEX. The BARRTSTER yestertlay revised the City Paracbial Lists in alphabetical order, down to the letter L. Mr. William How, the. Mayor of Shrewsbury ; Mr. John Rand. of Guildford ; Mr. Edgar Smith, Rue Basso du Rampart, Paid ; M r . P erc eval Walsh, sen., and Mr. Perceval Walsh, jun., of Oxford, all of whom claimed for shares in the 'Legal and General Insurance Office, Fleet-street, wore objected to by the Reformers. Mr. Coppock observed that this was a second edition of the Green Dragon-alley affair, disclosed at Lime. house, and how gentle mp of such respectability, as he knew them to be, couldialjow their names to be placed on the list, and yet not 4pear to defend their claims when, objec e t4 s ar=olita d . He ~felk, hems , , issigogro, those claims-had emanated from his friend Mr. Adey, but was inclined to think they had been concocted at a certain place in Chancery-lane, which was supposed to be an institution for the diffusion of legal knowledge.— (Laughter.) Mr. Adey would make but a single observation. Every one of those gentlemen had claimed for the city, and had been placed on the register as occupiers ; they therefore thought they were entitled to h county vote, but he (Mr. Adey) must admit that as they were only shareholders, they, could not he considered as having a freehold interest. It was clear, however, these were not fraudulent claims. Mr. Coppock—No, they are only impudent claims. — (Laughter.) The names of Messrs. How, Rand, Walsh, sen., and Walsh, jun., were expunged, service of notice of objection at their respective places of abode having been proved,.but in consequence of Mr. Edgar Smith residing in Paris, the notice of objection to him was served on the porter of the Insurance Office, which Mr. Coventry did not consider good service, and his name was retained. ALDERMAN HARMER. As the defeat of this gentleman has imparted to the late election of a Mayor of L ondon a mo s t unusual in terest, and as the causes of it bear on principles of no small importance, we think it not unseasonable here to set down a few facts and remarks in connection with that event. The personal character of the Alderman is reported by all who know him to be excellent. Out of the many testimonials which the recent struggle called forth on this point, we confine ourselves to the following decisive one :—Mr. Richard Taylor, a London printer, well-known as an intelligent and conscientious man, stated, on the hustings, that, in his own ward, Alderman Harmer had done the greatest good, and was one of the most pains -taking Magistrates that ever presided on the Ben c h ; th a t h e was a man also of great private virtue, and his charity, though not brought before the p u bli c , was extens i ve ; and that, if the majority against Alderman Harmer had been ten times as great as it was at present, he ,'Mr. Taylor) should have been proud of standing by him, for he thought that a more honourable, upright, and conscientious man did not exist. From the composition of the London Corporation, as we showed on Thursday, it was not strange that the worthy Alderman did not succeed. But he had other opposition with which to contend. " AU the saints," we were told, " were against him. The Bishops and the Lords," as he himself says, "were against him. The vilest arts were employed by his opponents to blacken his character and influence the people. Without the least regard to truth, the most vulgar prejudices were appealed to ; the Monarchy and Christianity were said to be involved in the contest.; the.people , were told be would get no chaplain and :it vi•tie.itisinuated that, during his Mayoraity,:all! communication between the City and the Court would* - be cut off." # - We regard this election as involving more than one question of no small public importance. It is high time that the friends of freedom should universally re solve to set their faces against the principles which a cer tain class of religionists, in each of the British Esta blished Churches have lately been trying to make the governing rule at civic and political elections. Ha man is proposed as a magistrate, these people care nothing for his acquaintance with the official functions which he ought to discharge, but demand whether he is sound in the faith ; that is, whether he adopt their peculiar views of Christian truth. Can a greater absurdity than this be imagined ? Yet this ridiculous notion is implied in the grounds on which Alderman Harmer was rejected. Another question which the recent contest for the Mayoralty is, how far a newspaper proprietor is respon sible for the opinions maintained in the journal with which he is thus connected ? If it is said that be is en tirely responsible for them, then what must we think of those parsons who set up prints, the chief contents of which are lies and blasphemies, while the professed ob ject of them is the promotion of the interests of religion ? —Aberdeen Herald. PURLOINING NEWSPAPERS.—During the last 1 1 twelvemonths, especially since the introduction of the new postage, numerous complaints have been forwarded ' to the several newspaper offices, newspaper agents, and the Stamp-office, from the subscribers to newspapers, in ' conseq uence of the pape rs never reac hing them. In order I to remedy snch evils, both the Post-office and the Stamp office recommend that the direction of the person for '. whom the paper was intended should be written on the ' margin of the paper, instead of being inscribed on the envelope. But even this precaution was unavailing, as the papers were never forwarded, and continual com plaints were made at head-quarters. The opinion gene rally entertained was, that the clerks in the office, or the postmasters, appropriated the papers to their own use, Several plans were adopted for finding out the guilty parties, and those plans have so far proved successful, that an examination was instituted on Thursday, of Several so appro. prch i a a r t g e e d s a e a w g asinst papers.aP es T t- h o e ffi efaec facts a ge a n n t d fothr the result of the in.. of our konag quiry will, it is expected, be made public on Saturday.

SlR,—May I beg to call your attention to the para graph in the Cambrian of Saturday last, headed " Im mense Payment of Wages." I know the substance of it to be true, namely that Sir John Guest, the Liberal M.P., pays 24,000/. per month in wages. It is also a filet that Sir John Guest has lately given 50/. for a Methodist chapel at Dowlais Iron Works. A few years ago he built a market-house, a church, pays the minis ter, and has endowed the building ; he has also erected a very large Sunday and day school. Only contrast this with Mr. Joseph Bailey, M.P. for Worcester, and his sou for Sudbury (both nries). They arc getting as much by the Nant y Glo and Beaufort Iron Works as Sir John is by the Dowlais, but yet no church, mar ket-place, or school, has been erected at Nant y Glo or Beaufort. The young M.P. of Sudbury is about to offer for Herefordshire ; what will he say to the two enclosed paragraphs, from papers of last week's date, the one the Bristol, and the other printed at Hereford. For want of religious and moral instruction, the work men about the Monmouthshire iron works and collieries are in a state of discontent and Chartism, although they have full work, and are well paid, say from 14s. to 50s. per week. Then look at the contrast about Ross, where the people are better educated ; they earn little, but are happy and contented. It is also worthy of re mark that none of the Newport rioters were from Sir John Guest's works. T. L. Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, Oct. 12, 1840. A “ GETTING UP STAIRS." (From the Gazette des Tribunaux.) Of all extraordinary whims which ever entered the 4(10 Man in general, and of landlordain particular, tbeltinet extraordinary, perhaps, is that the results of which brought M. Lassus, and Mademoiselle Lamorte, a cook, before the Correctional Police. The mistress of the latter personage, occupying the fourth story in M. Lassus' mansion, had conceived the idea (by no means uncommon) of giving a party. Accordingly, the upholsterer was ordered to send rout benches, drapery, card-tables, &c., all of which were safely deposited, on arrival, in the hall, previous to their being transported to their ultimate destination on the fourth story. The thing was simple enough in itself, but not so in the mind of M. Lassus, who entertains a particular ob jection to his tenants giving dances. Meanwhile, in obedience to her mistress's orders, Mlle. Lambert sum moned a couple of porters to assist her in conveying the dancing paraphernalia up stairs. and had already laid hands on a packet of drapery, while one of the porters had seized a table and the other a bench, when their proceedings were suddenly interrupted on finding the passage blocked up by the terrible person of M. Lassus. A parley ensued between the parties, but to no purpose, M. Lassus remained in flexible. Whereupon the Commissary of Police was called in, whose interference, however, was ineffectual n diverting M. Lassus from his obstinate position. It was, therefore, resolved to execute the manoeuvre by violence. The engagement was preceded on both sides, by a volley of abuse, on which M. Lassus proceeded to violence on the person of Mlle. Lamorte, who was borne off from the scene of action, in a state of insensibility. Mlle. Lamorte brought a complaint against M. Lassus who, on his side, brought a complaint against her, al leging that he had been beaten both by the cook and the two porters. Witnesses for plaintiff and defendant were cited, justifying, of course, their reciprocal parties. Amidst this entangled opposition of evidence, the truth appeared from the vroccs verbal, drawn up by the com missary, and which stated that Madlle. Lamorte bore evident marks of the ill-usage she had undergone. On the other h Ind, it is true, M. Lassus presented .a medical certificate in support of his statement, wherein, however, was perceived a slight contradiction, for the medical gentleman alleges having treated his patient for a contusion in the leg, while the plaintiff declares he has received a violent box on the ear from the cook. The Tribunal acquitted Mademoiselle Lamorte of the charge brought against her, while M. Lassus was fined 500 f. penalty, and con demned to 500 f. damages. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

SAINT ANDIIEWS.—A case of considerable impor ance to letters of furnished lodgings has - been decided, in the first instance, by the Sheriffs of this county, and finally at Perth, by Lord Medwyn, on appeal. The facts are these :—A teacher of music hired furnished lodgings in St. Andrew's, and occupied the same from Martinmas, 1838, to 10th July, 1839, at the rate of 7s. per week. He brought a pianoforte to the lodg ings at the date of his entry. He soon afterwards fell into ill-health, was unable to follow his profession, and died indebted to his landlady in the sum of Si. 175., in the name of rent. Shortly after his death the piano was claimed by certain music-sellers in Edinburgh as their property, and they alleged that it was merely lent on hire to the deceased. An application was presented to the Shrift's in their names, against the landlady, to compel delivery of the instrument. In answer, the landlady pleaded—lst, That she had a right of hypothec over the instrument, in security of her rent ;-2(1, That she had a lien or right of re tention ; 3d, That in moveables possession im plies property that she trusted her lodger on the faith of the instrument being his own— and that persons lending furniture on hire arc presumed to know the risks of their trade, and to stipulate accord ingly for a higher rate of profit. To this the petitioners answered—lst, That the principle of hypothec does not apply, inasmuch as the lodgings were let from week to week ; 2d, That there can be no retention where the instrument does not belong to the debtor ; and, 3d, That it was the duty of the landlady to prevent ar rears. In reply, the landlady maintained that the principle of hypothec did apply—that a lodger is substantially a sub-tenant—that the premises must therefore be held as let for the ordinary period of a year—and that hiring lodgings, as in this case, at the rate of so much a weed, was altogether different from hiring lodgings from week to week. Domestic servants, she maintained, in illustration, are held to be engaged for sir months ; but the law is, that the term is not altered, although they should be hired at the rate of so much a year ;—'2d, 'Phut the in strument was legally in her custody ;—and, 3d, That in the circumstances of the case, she could not prevent the rent from accumulating. The Sheriff-substitute (Mr. Jameson) held that the prin ciple of hypothec applied and decided the case in favour of the landlady, with expenses. This decision was, however, reversed by Sheriff Monteith, on appeal, who held the case to be one of considerable general im portance, and one which had not been previously de - tided. He thought there was a distinction between the case of a landlord and a letter of lodgings. The former, in his opinion, relied for his security on the fur niture placed in the premises by the tenant ; the latter did not rely on the furniture, but on the personal credit of the lodger. He thought that it might even be doubted how far a letter of lodgings was entitled to retain effects belonging to her lodger in security of arrears of rent. If the landlady, in the present case, had any claim at all, it was, in his opinion, on the ground of retention, and not on that of hypothec ; but he held that, as there was no legal possession, there could be no retention. He therefore ordained the respondent to deliver up the piano, and found her liable in expenses. This decision was confirmed by Lord Medwyn on appeal.—Fift.shire Journal. . •. \V c quote this for the purpose of pointing out its bearings. The case was evidently one of doubt, by the adverse decisions of the Judges. On the part of the landlady there appears to have been no mala fides, and her only fault was to have been ignorant of a doubtful point of law, if that were a fault, when the point was not settled till after the decision. But, having done no wrong having only honestly endea voured to cover herself from loss—she is saddled with the expenses of the suit, and exposed to that loss in addition, not by any fault of hers, but because the law was not settled. Her case, we have no doubt, represents an immense number of cases, in which indi duals, acting from the very best intentions, trespass on some unknown law, or some law made, as in this case, after the trespass ; and for that—which is in truth an offence of the law or the law-makers—they are mulcted in expenses. This is not merely an act of in efficiency or negligence on the part of those who en deavour to provide for all difficult and disputed cases, but an act of gross injustice. At least in such cases the public ought to pay the expenses, or provide for the administration of the law, without putting the well meaning clients to a great loss of money, as well as of time. Such cases have a moral for individuals, as well as for legislators. They teach them to accommodate their differences on small points, to waive something of extreme pretension, and share a loss between them, rather than make it tenfold greater by the applying to the protecting law. INSTABILITY OF DISSENT. Mr. G. C. Smith, minister of a dissenting chapel at Hackney, well known as" Boatswain Smith," has pub lished in the Sailors' Magavine, of which be is the Edi- j tor, some remarks on the subject of the Church and Dissent, from which we make the following extracts : In travelling last spring, I was very sorry to see a youth at the door of a Dissenting chapel, with a pe.. titian, and pen and ink and table, for any one to sign against Church Extension. This is an awful speci men of the warfare carried on. There are evils in the Church, and there are also ten thousand evils ameagst D.ssenters. Worldly-mindedness, pride, self-interest, and party feeling, seem to reign among a vast mass of minis ters and people. The Aristocracy of Dissent look with scorn upon their less wealthy, less elevated, and less in fluential brethren ; so that a plain, humble, Baptist mi nister, who is not one of the great and rich of his d no mination, but a hard-working, pains-taking, useful man, called yesterday, and said he thought w e ought to have a Dissenting Ministers' Protection Society, to defend the humble working class of ministers from the per secutions and prejudices of persons of all descriptions amongst Dissenters who are so exalted and imperious. I should be most happy to form such a society ; it would be a severe check, especially upon all who make a trade of religion, as many thousands now do. In conversa tion with this minister we examined Lambeth and the borough of Southwark, in order to see what were the scenes exhibited of the blessing of God upon the violent proceedings of Dissenters. First, Holland Chapel, Brixton ; here Dr. Styles preached. Dr. S. has been removed from this to a small chapel, and the Chapel is now taken and occupied by the Church of England. Second, Vauxhall Chapel ; Rev. Mr. Moor. Alas! this has also been deserted, and is now advertised as " St. Paul's Episcopal Chapel." Third, Kennington Chapel ; Rev. Mr. Hunt. This is also given up by Dissenters, and has now exhibited on its front, as vou come from Kennington-common, " Episcopal Chapel." Fourth, London-road Chapel ; Rev. Mr. Harper. This now belongs to the Church of England, and I rejoice to know that it is well supplied by that pious and zea lous teetotaller, the Rev. J. F. Witty. Fifth, Vent lam Chapel, near Bethlem Hospital, Kennington road ; this was built by the. Rev. Mr. Lacy. It has long since been given up, and has, I understand, been set apart for the Church by the Bishop of Winchester. Besides this, the Temperance Hall, near the Elephant and Castle, was a dissenting chapel, hut, being relin quished, it is now taken as a ball. And sixth, Lant street-chapcl, Borough, where the Rev. Mr. Cart wright used to preach, has long since been converted into a broker's warehouse and shop, for furniture. Really these are alarming symptoms. But what I most lament is, that Dr. Rippon's large chapel, of Carter lane, Tooley-street, and Dean-street Chapel, Tooley street, are both pulled down for the railway ; and, from London-bridge to Dockhead, alangshore, with all the tiers of shipping, I have seen no substitute in that most dense and important sea -faring locality. Of this I am confident, that unless Dissenters have some more humble, pious, conscientious, working, kind-hearted, condescending man at the head of their affairs in London, they will have to write " Ichabod," or glory departed, upon themselves." METHODIST DESERTERS.—In .a great connection like ours, many members necessarily change their place of residence in the course of a year, and the schedules of nearly all the circuits show a considerable deficit in mem bers received as compared with those that are removed. The The benefits of Chr istian fellowship are invaluable under a ny circumstances , but the y are particularly so when w e have to dwell amo n g strangers. We arc, therefore, at a loss fully to acc ount for the fact that so ina should, people who manifest great esteem for the means qf grace when at home and s urrounded b y f riend s n note of a distance , ne g lect to a pp l y for the usual " of removal." Leavin g their respective neighb our h oo d s to th e without this, they lay therescives op en to suspicion and, as hun. deprive themselves of an h onourable introduction ; they ministers of the p l ace where they settle ; drcds of instances annually prove, they run ' o . reat laz of sinking into a state of estrangement f rom God, and the ordinances of His house. This, brethren, is unpro fitable for you, and it is grievous to us.—illehodist Con ference. - - The Rev. W. H.

The subject is so important, that we shall make cop extracts from the pamphlet, with a view of allowing rbc Gallant Officer to cxpLin his own views : " Nothing can be more primitive and defective then our present mode ot proceeding. " A ship is required to relieve another for foreign service. She is selected, reported ready for commis sine, the captain and officers are . appomted, and then volunteers a; c advertised for—they cony! s:only and uncertainly ; if the ship is a large one tire men will n , t enter until the heaviest part of the work of fitting completed ; the equipment proceeds slowly and car , _ lessly, because energy and rapidity are impracticable., but even then those who enter first feel they are unfairly worked, and the seeds of discontent and desertion are sown at the very commencement of their service. " Three or sometimes four months thus „ass away before the ship's complement is complete, and in tl.e meanwhile little progress is made in discipline or in struction. She at last sails for her destination, and re lieves a ship, which, having been three or kur years ea active service, is, or ought to be, in a high state ot effi ciency, but on its arrival in England it is dismantled, the officers and crew are paid oft and discharged ; and we thus proceed on the plan of perpetually creating and as perpetually destroying what we have with so much labour and expense endeavoured to obtai•.l—an effective ship of war. The objections to this mode of proceeding are so numerous, but at the same time so obvious, that they will at once suggest themselves to my readers. " To the economists the improvident expense of keeping a ship intended to relieve another three or four months in commission before she can proceed, %cid be sufficiently striking ; while professional men, who view a ship also as a school for the rising generation, in which not only mere seamanship, but the higher qualities of energy, promptitude, and resource are to be taught, contemplate with anxiety and regret a slow and slovenly system, calculated rather to damp end deaden activity and exertion, and to train up the youLg beginner in exactly the way in which he ought not to walk, and wholly at variance with the first principles of all warlike establishments, discipline, activity, and instruction. " My leading proposition is to consider a Reserve of, at least, 4MOO or 5,000 men for home service indis pensably necessary. " The supply of seamen so little exceeds the demand for them, and that demand is so large and increasing, not only in the British Empire, but in almost every quarter of the habitable globe (the United States, South America, Australia, and India absorbing very consider able numbers), that, except we have foresight and ar rangement enough to secure a stock in hand (if I may so express myself), we shall always be exposed to the greatest difficulty and danger on any emergency where circumstances ut•sy, perhaps, render our having recourse to impressment impolitic or unjustifiable, although the necessity for a reinforcement to some foreign station, or an increase at home, may be extremely pressing. " The number of men I recommend keeping as a permanent reserve, large as it may at first sight appear, would be barely sufficient to equip a respectable squa dron for the protection of our coasts and commerce, and to enable the Board of Admiralty to commence a course of exercise and instruction afloat, which has been too long postponed and discontinued. Few officers of the rising generation have ever witnessed the evolutions of a fleet, or received any practical education in nasal tactics. Our foreign squadrons are so constantly sepa rated,and so widely detached for the protection of trade, that it is scarcely possible ever to assemble them, and it is therefore principally at home, where no other coe ! siderations should be allowed to interfere, that this most important part of the education of every officer can be carefully attended to. " The result of the proposed arrangement would be, that instead of six nominal ships stationed at Sheer ness, Devonport, and Portsmouth, but unmanned and wholly ineffective, we should have six fully manned, dis c'plined, efficient, and ready at twenty-four hours' notice to proceed to any part of the world ; while an equal number of frigates might be kept in the same state of preparation for any service not requiring ships of th• line. " Our Naval Arsenals, instead of being, as they now are, schools of idleness, in which officers arc allowed to serve out their sea time (as it is called) without ever seeing an anchor weighed or a sail set, would then become excellent depots of instruction, and there ap pears to be no reason why the routine of toicign servico might not be taken by the whole Navy in commission, shortening the periods of absence, especially in un healthy climates, and withdrawing our younger officers, as far as might be practicable, from the temptations to extravagance and dissipaf.on, inseparable from a let'; - [ confinement at Malta or Lisbon. " If the system on which the Army recruit was morn closely followed, volunteers would be raised for the Navy much more rapidly and satisfactorily ; a more respectable set of officers and men would perform this service with greater credit to themselves and their pro fession. Pensioners carefully selected and encouraged, exhibiting in their own persons the reward of long ser vice and good conduct, would be the best class of men (under proper officers) for this purpose ; and if my suggestions shall be thought worthy of attention, - I se , no reason why tall, active young landsmen, between 13 and 22, and not under sft. 7in., should not be admitted into the Reserve, and raised in the inland districts as well as at the seaport towns. Six months of instruction and discipline at Ports mouth, Devonport, or Sheerness, would make these very useful men, especially when the want of st►ength in our ships' companies during peace is considered, the merchant service taking the most powerful men, and re fusing the small ones. We see how well oir new sys tem of taking boys answers, and how soon they beccine valuable seamen, but this might be still further im proved, by haviag at each port a small frigate fitted on the plan of the Marine Society's ship at Deptford, with guns and sails, in which the boys might be better looked after, and receive some schooling, and where the young landsmen might also be sent to improve themselves, when exercising on board their own ships was incon venient. It is very interesting to observe how soon the Ma rine Society boys, few of whom have ever seen a ship in their lives, become extremely smart in crossing top gallant yards, furling and reefing sails, &c. ; and there is not the least reason to suppose that lads of the ago I rezommend would not, under proper care, and. with sufficient instruction, make an equal progress. I do not mean to assert that a good seaman would not be pre ferable ; but as the merchant service gives higher wages to this class of men than we can (or choose) to offer, we must endeavour to manufacture for ourselves an in ferior article, if we cannot afford to pay the full price for the best." The suggestions of the Gallant Officer are good as far as they go ; Lut the Navy will never be raised to its proper pitch in the estimation of our people till the man-stealini , practice of impressment be publicly branded, and i ' for ever prohibited. After that has been done, pay the men well, and seamen will be as abundant as any other class of labourers.

The great objection which had been previously made to these telegraphs was the difficulty of repairing the wires in case any should be broken or damaged, as it was supposed it would not ha possible to tell where the fracture was. This difficulty Las now been obviated by means of a small carriage moved along the line of the telegraph. The place where the defect lies is indicated by a magnetic needle, which changes its position the instant it arrives at the part where the connection is broken, He has been repeating his experiments at the Brussels Observatory, in the pte senca of many scientific men.—lnventors' Advocate. A TAILOR'S INFERNAL MACHINE.—Gia como Bniolini, an Italian tailor, residing in a small town near Berlin, was a man of brutal and vindictive character, but for a tim.: so far mastered his nature as to induce a young woman of the countiy to marry him. The honey moon, however, waned before its time, and all the sweets were turned into bitterness. Benolini treated his wife 7it ti. su, h cruelty that she was forced to sue him for a s epa a ra s t p io ta_ Tile parties net in Court, and sentence of divo a r a c c e ad w to the nouncei.
