Tin CROSSING-SWEsPtL—There was a young lady who was courted by a gentleman prepossessing in person and manners, and evidently of large fortune. After a time she contented to marry him, ho promising she should have everything she wished on one condition, which was, that she should never attempt to discover his profession, or be would go away, and she would never seee him more. To this she agreed, and all went on happily till her mother came to stay with her,, and with excuSAle curiosity the old lady did her best to 'discover the secret. Every day did the gentleman drive forth in his cabriolet, and return to dinner.' The groom was questioned : he could not say where his master went, for he always drove to the livery stables, and left the cab there. At last, in spite of her daugh ter's entreaties, the mother saUied forth to follow her son-in-law ; but it was of no avail, she always lost him at one point, a n d again and again returned home foiled. At last, one dirty day she was picking her way across the street, when a ragged sweeper held out his hand for alms ! She looked in his face, beheld her son-in-law, and fell down in the mud in a fain!- binteg tterlfietd. h. a think it was alw a y s wra pp e d i n m y s t ery; f or I uttered always longed to know whether the husband fulfilled his threat of running away, or whether he put an end to the/ladies a la Blue Beard, or whether he forgave the curiosity of his mother-in-la*, and they all liyettogether happily to the end of the story.

In regard to the rePort of Mt Banner, he regretted that that gentleman should have so far exceeded his duty. in expressinc , an opinion on the conduct of Mr. 80,th, knowing the manner in which the booksoitire kept. Mr. Banner was simply asked to irevestlgAe thb char' es preferred by Mr.- Smith, tit, after the books in question were not, _kept by. tilt master 'of the Work house bat by Mr. Kennedy, an officer appointed by the board as assistant master (hear, hear); and the discre pancies were only clerical errors in a certain quantity. :The -money was found perfectly correct. (Rear, hear.) But although this had been a charge against the master, why should it have warranted the suspicion of Mr. Smith, who charged him with criminal abstraction and misappropriation of the stores ?. But the object of the charge was evidently to damage and injures the Alia racter of the Master of this Workhonse. ; (Heir, hear.)

But even in that case be held it was very irregular—somewhat indseent, to attribute motives to any man. Mr. IlaYns.—Mr. Smith charged the guardians with conniving at the abstraction of the stores, and with participation in the abstractions.' Is that not attributing motives i (Heir, hear.) Mr. SMITH denied it. There,was considerable noise and interreptidt here, in the midst of which Mr. Keyes handed to Mr. Smith a copy efibis own motion, when he made the . charges, proving What he said. ..Mr. SMITH was again on his feet, and continued talk ing some time, in the midst of considerable interruption. He maintained .the truth of his • charges--he knew the liistirY of the thing. - (Lend cries of " Hear, hear.") He had been -returned as gnardian in 1857, because he dies supposed to be the man to do the thing: (I voice . " Quite a mistake.") He said' The Cusinarass—mr. Smith, you are out of order. It is a motion that is. before us exonerating the governor, but imputing, all Sorts of motives to you. , - Mr. SMITH continued again. He was sent in '57 and ' 5 B. He here gave a detail of what he hill done on the subject. The paper which had Iron drawn up on his making those charges had been sent by the guardians to the Poor-law Board, Where it hid slept ever • since. He had written repeatedly, but he believed they were as unwilling as the guardians were to have anything discovered. (Interruption, and cries of " Order.") He had kept to the subject for six, eight, tenanonths, and had put a preseure upon them at last-Ithey had brought the thing to an issue. But he began two years ago. (Hear, hear, and cries of " Order.") He thought he should be heard: Mr. Smith continued' talking for some time, entirely unheard. A conversation, then ensued on the wording of the resolution, and the Chairman was about to take the opinion of the Board on the various clauses in the reso lution seriatim, when Mr. Clark objected. The CHAIRMAN asked if he was to understand that the corrections of: Mr. Rees on the books were made by him previous to the time that Mr. Smith Commenced his investigations ? Mr. SHAW—No. On November 3, 1859, Mr. Smith made,his charges, and the corrections were not made till December. Mr. CLARKE—The charge of Mr. - Smith was made this Mr. SMITH—I made my charges on November 3, Ism and in - December Mr. Rees made the corrections. The Crisinmax,—But was any charge made after that time ? Ho* does Mr. Smith get 'over the fact of having seen the corrections when he made the present charge. weeks, Mr. SHAW did not care whether this resolution was passed - Or not, but he would not be a party to it, know ing that it stated what was not the fact. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Shaw then criticised various sentences of the reso %ion seriatim. He did not ears either foi• Mr. Banner's or Mr, Shaw's report (Heir, hear.) lie had - seen the books, and he was certain that there had been as Mr. Smith charges. Mr. Clarke had also very Jesuitically dropped one word in his resolution used by Mr. Banner in his report. ("Oh, oh.") Now, be did maintain that in the Workhouse books any g entlemen who wi s h e d to look for himself would see that some-person, at least, had failed to account for certain quantities of flour. (Interruption.) He- did not -believe that Mr. Banner had exceeded his instructions; in fact, he had not gone as far as his instructions warranted him, for he had never looked at that side of the beak where the con sumption was, and that was where the gist of the whole thing lay. He, on the contrary, maintained that he had not fulfilled his instructions. On his own- personal knowledge he affirmed that Mr. Rees audited that book in consequence of what Mr. Smith said at this board. • The CHAIRMAX-Bet if Mr. .Smith makes these charges after he has kid opportttnity of seeing'these corrections.? And did he sd • SkiA*—There was not one gentleman who would -condescend to look at the books, and, in consequence of what took place in Noveinber ' Mr. Rees altered the books in December. If the board had taken up the matter when Mr. Smith brought his charges, the thing • would have been settled two years ago. The CHAIRMIN asked if there was any amendment to the resolution as it now stood. Mr. SHAW moved that the names be taken. Mr.' HEYES seconded that. In reply to several questions, thq Clesk - Oted that Mr. Smith had an opportunity of seainti, thb hocks, arid he :bad since he . made his first charge in _November. - • -- - - - - . The Cuativicor said he would not vote for the motion, as he did not agree with the whole of it. -He, nevertheless, thought Mr. Smith deserved being censured. The motion was then put and carried. About a third of the guardians, however, both for and against, had been obliged to leave the room before it was put, owing to the-eitreme length -of the discussion. Mr. " aftertardi inoved " tEA Ootigh be requesttd to haiid in an account to the . clerk of the elpenseS : , he has incurred in defending himself since these charges were first preferred; and •that- after 'receiving it, the clerk be instructed to write to the Poor-law. -Board• to know whether they will sanction his reimbursement."

Among its publications will be found a map of Europe, shOwing the position and, produce of the coalfields, and the dependence of the several states upon each other for the supply of that great munition of war ; plans of < Peninsular battles, and plans in illustration of the late Italian campaign, copies of which have been sent to the head-quarrs of every regiment, to enable the officers to study the taetbs of the armies then engaged. The learned counsel, in stating the case, said that he had to lay before the jury, a. most_eitraordinary and totnattle base. The plaintiff, tli.lEst Wyiii, has advanced in life, and, although uneducated; she was honest and industrious. The. dependant, Mr. Joseph 'Carter, first met the plaintiff, who was somewhat his senior, at Wicklow, in Ireland, in 1849, at which time she was living as a servant in the service of tbe defendant's Linde, wise was a respectable farmer: He hiving sustained- an injury td his ankle, end -she having behaved with great kindness to him during his illness, he commenced paying his addresSes to her and promised to marry her, and the result was that they lived together as man and wife for a long time, during which period they went to Australia and back. The action was brought to recover wages, money lent, and money paid. The following evidence was adduced in support of the plaintiff's; case . Eliza Wyna—l am the plaintiff. I live at Surrey cottage, Penton-place, Walworth. The defendant lives in the same neighbourhood, and carries on the business of a cab-proprietor. About eleven or twelve years ago I became acquainted with the defendant at his uncle's, a farmer, who resided in King's County, Ireland, I attended on the defendant at his uncle's, he having injured his ankle. I left his uncle's, where I was a sei'ret; at _ ifty dwn request, and went to Liverpool with the defendant, who had ',realised to marry me as soon as he had the means. I remained there some time :with my friends; and the-defendant Went.on to London, whence he wrote to me weekly. have destroyed his letters. At his request I came to London from Liverpool, and he met me at the station. After that, at his request, I took a situation as servant to his sister, a married lady. I left there in consequence of illness, and was obliged to go to the workhouse. • After that I took lodgings. He vieitidret thefe. He still Preinised nie Mairiage. used to take me out for a walk. He proposed that we should go to Australia. He said we should be able to make the most of our energy and industry there. We did not then go. We returned to Belfast, where the defendant bought a business, for which he paid L'6o or L7O. The haziness, wil ich .I managed, we sold off. We returned to Liverpool, and then decided to go to Australia. In 1852 we left England . for Australia. During the voyage, which lasted 92 days, • made £2 a Week; Washing for the passengers. That money, as well as what I subsequently .earitedi *IS all . appropriated to our joint use. On arriving at Melbourne the defendant obtained a situation in the police at the gold diggings, at 105. per day. I sometimes went out washing and earned les. a day, and 'sometimes took in washing, and then I earned £4 a week. This lasted for two years. The defendant removed to the township of Richniond,,tvroLincl:•athalf miles frett . Melbontne, where he obtained a situation as ion =ap Mai of the station. Before he could get it he was obliged to declare to were married, as they would appoint. no other than a married than. At Richmond I kept from 100 to 105 fowls, realising .

We passed by th e name of*r. and Mrs. Dewley. On our arrival he said I had no claim upon him, as I was only his servant. He then, dreW hii £OO, and I drew my £lOO. I gave Mtn £lO out of my £lOO - to make up £6OO, believing that the defendant would marry me and would :buy a plot of ground in Ireland on which to settle down 'for the remainder of our. After that I went, at his -request, to Liverpool, where I purchased a sniall store witl}iy. money ,pre:dpiis to _going .to ;Ireland: Not receiving any communication from him I sold MY busi ness off at a sacrifice and came .to London..., I then fOund that he had invested his money in a number of horses and. cabs He now declined to have anything further to do with me, or to provide for me. I was offered 150 to compromise the action. Cross-examined—The only means of making money I had in Australia was by washing and keeping fowls: I "am now 46 years of age. An improper intimacy took place between tie at the defendant's uncle's; and I then went to Liverpool. I weer threatened to expose him. I did not ask hini to get area sittiatidil at his sister's. I was hot discharged for inisCondziet: He wanted to leave Me before we Went to Australia. He gave ine £lB with ieliiSh to ay paisege,etit, but I coe sideed that part, of 'ibY lib*. The liassaga Wes taken in my name, as the defendant did not wish his cousin, Mrs. Maloney, who was on board, to know bow we were living. He begged of me _to leave him in Australia, and promised to pay my pas sage home and give me £lOO. He did not give me the money to put into the bank in my name, neither did he depoeit it for me. f did not say to hini, when he *anted to pay ray passage home, " Don't you think I am such a fool ; riew haVe gOt the money I Ohili aria':" After Mir rettirn Australia I pdrchased the business at Liver pool.

I did not tell my attorney that I was a female searcher at Richmond,. at a salary of .t5O per annum, and that the defendant received it. I can't write.

COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRI2,IC ATAL, CAUSES, 30: - (Before IVrxrf..t, and Mr. justioe - ftirif.) -- - ALE.I:ANDER V. ALEXANDER' ARE bio ; Samuel Atelttlitiei prayed for tedissolntion of his Mar riage with Rebecca Alexander, on the ground of her eatery with Frank Amos. The respondent denied' the charge. Mr: Deane, Q.C., kaii . were counsel for the petitioner; Mr. O'Malley, aIC., skid Sir. -Couch forth° respondent. • This case was before the court in November last. appearance had then-been put. in' by the respondent; but at the close of the petitioner's case the court inti mated that it was not satisfied with the evidenee -of adultery, and ordered an adjournment. A sister of the respondent, who bad been called as 'a witnetis for the petitioner, then told their lordships that Mfs. Alexander was innocent of the charge, but that she had )teen, induced to:abstain from making ,a defence by a threat f r om the agent of her husband that, if she raised any obstacle to his obtaining a divorce, an allowance which he then -made her should be withdrawn and she should be. lift destitu te. The court after : wards gave Mrs. Alexander leave to appear and plead. Mr. Alexander was the son of a bank& at Ipswich. Ile was married to the respondent, a Miss Milbarfte, at St. George's,_ Hanover-square, in January, 1838. She was in an inferior station, and the marriage gave great dissatisfaction . :to his family. In consequence of their dislike to it, he and his wife left England and lived for some time in Australia. They afterwards- cohabitedan England, and then in the Channel Islands. They have two sons and two daughters. In 1858_they_were living ' at Bouley Bay, in Jersey, and they had a groom in their employment named Frank Amos. This was the person _with whom the adultery Was alleged ,to have been committed.; - ' Patrick Sullivan, a farm labourer, said he was in Mr. -Alexander's service from January to abont August, 1858. Apill Si May Amos went into the service as groom. Amos•bad a griat nigrty . tonversatiina with him about Mrs. Alexander, and said td tlln4 ithont six weeks after entering the service, that he would have her t dote long. Between 10 and.ll o'clock one night he put. a ladder up to the window of a bedroom 'n which one of the children, a boy 12 years of age, was lying ill, and watched Mrs. Alexander and Amos.. He heard them go into another room, and went round to a stable, upon which he climbed; arid looked through the window of that room. It leas a bedroom on tie same floor . He gave evidence of an act of adfilterk'whieh he filen :iritiitsted. He then went to the stable, got some sand, and threw it against the window. Mrs. Alexander and Amos came down. Mrs. Alexander was - drunk, and could hardly tell what she did. He said he-would tell his 'master. They both struck him and dragged him about the yard. They went to his room, took his clothes, and -"threw them about the He, eensidered ,that _ .mistresa might not do wrong 'did riot, thereforeithen 'tell his master. He said to Mrs: Ile:Under that he would not tell. , She and Frank went into his bedrooni tlth him, and she said she - would be as good as a Mother to him if he did not tell. Mr. Alexander and Miss Ada, his daughter, werelout.7 Frank and he slept in the same room in an outhouse locking into the yard. One day, tehen Mr. Alexander was it a review, he watched Mrs. AleiTntlet link.kmeet, and seve2 thein kissing each other in the kitchen:.. Not many days _before le left he saw Mrs. Alexander and Amos together in - ilat outhouse in the afternoons He yent in and saw .them . in an indecent attitude. He one morning told Mr. Alexander what - he had - wen, and Mr. Alexander timed him away. He and Mrs. Alexander and Amos were brought face to face by Mie Alexander, and he was going to tell all he. had seen, blkt Mr. AlL'atider would nee lister him. 'Amos struck him. and '.t!e l z.ed, him and - Imeited Aim about. He did not see Mr. Alexander egthie:tentilthe . following Christmas. On the occasions. of Which he had spoken-Mrs. Alexander and Amos were generally three-parts drunk, and le.sezd the other serve.gts had fetched brandy for them. • - • • In cross-examination,- the witness gave a very con fused account :of- the circumstances under which he had• Seen the acts of improper familiarity of which he had srinket; 4e vas. standing two or three hours on the ladder wateiiiiig. He wet back to Mr. Alexander's service in the beginning of li:sy, slut had remained in it up to last week. Some discrepancies were also elicited between his evidence at the last trial and his present statements. Eliza Vallens, a girl who had been - in Mr. Alexander's service, fast as housemaid and . then as nook, also spoke to seferal acts of improper familiarity between Mrs. Alexander and Ames. . In cross-examination she said she was still in Mr. Alexander's service. She had a sister who was in his service in - 1858. H<r sister went to Australia about Christmas, 1858. She did not tell Ur. Alexander-any thing about Amos's conduct until after Mr. Alexander ha 4 Teen tnglarid .with his wife. Her attention was called to seVdal stg.teMents she had made at the last trial, which were entirely at with her present statements, but she said that on the former declisiali slie had made mistakes. Mrs. Randall, the widow of a medical man, who had lived within a few minutes' walk of the Alexanders at Jersey, said that Amos was a married man, and had liVed bi their service for 10 years before he went to the' Alerandets. 1 e was discharged by Mr. Alexander on the lfd of gepteriitei f 1558. On the 4th of September she saw Mrs. Aleiandet and Ankle eiritittg together in a gig aldng a lane between her house and Mr. Alexander's. She tiftei4aidti went to Mrs. • She said she wanted to See Frank; to get ddrire late. Airs. - Randall spoke to her atiottt het tohdiitt 4 eh mid the *odd not be talked to. Two days afterwards Mr. and Mrs. Alel under went to England together to get medical advice for their sick child. She 'frequently visited the Alex antlers, and had noticed that Mrs. Alexansler was too 'familiar in her manner with Amos. Mr. John Alexander, a brother of the petitioner, and a banker at Ipswich,- *ls then examined to prove Mrs. Aletatider's handwriting to t*o letters she had written, Otie to Antosilfi one to his wife; since the separation, asking him to-cing a pareti td her where she was staying. It appeared that after Om* from Jersey Mr. and Mrs. Alexander lived together for a,ahort timein lodgings in London with their sick child, that AlefanelFr went to Ipswich to pay a visit to her relations, and that - 11 a she was there her husband returned to.tersey, and then - final i f - 1 s,,,p':netted from her. Six years ago her husband's faniily had- endeaiqiefed to induce her to sign a. deed, of separation, but- she refused. That endeavour was renewed while she was at Ipswio, heft - itl - the petition was fresented, but again failed. Dr. Deane; it etimminglip, contended that the very discrepancies in the stories of- the two principal wit nesses this liras not a got.Up case, and that the tondtii t o "fire: AleXandeti . spoken to by Mrs. Randall, strengtheiled the &pliability of its trash. Mr. O'Malley, in -reply, submitted flint the witnesses Sullivan and Vallens were quite unworthy of dredit. The Judge Ordinary said that the court, in discharge ing the onerous and anxious duty of dealing with evidence, must .be guided by the -same principles as those upon which juries acted. The -misconduct of which att .ateused person was charged must be ratotid - by armative evidence tO• the 'Satisfaction of the Cotitt. 11{i§,:Alekineler at the time of her mar riage was a p4ison of hurlible ;drigin, and of scarcely any . education ; but there *as . fib* x tittle of • evidence that up to the time of - the alleged adultert tile ',had in any. way .misconducted herself, ,or bad' done any. thing to raise the , Sfightest: suspicion - .pf, her infidelity in the mind of her husband.: The Conrt was, there fore, celled upon to believe that Mrs. Alexander had at cinii,,Wjthent. any preparation, condescended to dis irgewhekiawith g groom who had'been about two monOte in.her husband's sertiee, with -so little regard for decency,. with so little regard as to whether she was discovered or not that she was guilty of acts of adultetY in the face of day,,evithout taking the precau tion of palling down a window blind or closing a wash house door.. There might be cares. of that sort in which passion, amounting to insanity, might lead a verson 'to forget all sense of duty, all regard for decency, and 'all fear of detection, but such a case could only be esta blished by the most clear and. distinct testimony: Hit lordship then went through the. evidence of the two iiitneases Sullivan and Vallens, in order to show that it was in itsclf so improbable, and that it - cm Aso ineo-n -. sistcnt with what .they had said at the fernier trial, that it was impossible for th o court to act . _ upon it. Ete,.did not believe their' evidence, and there was no corrobora tion -of it, although ' if - Mrs. Alexander had been a person of the drn.rtiten habits they represented the person's who visited at the house must have noticed "her mis conduct. Not ;being satisfied .with the evidence, the court was bound:to dismiss the petition.

Negligees robes of thick material, such as poplin; are made in redingote form, buttoned down the middle or side, and the body a little open in front. Down the fold is pitied a row of large-buttons, or of bows with a huekle of gold or steel in the centre. Dresses are also very, generally made with a band, either with a buckle or ribbon sash. Very wide sleeves are still much worn, though tight sleeves are very fashionable. For dresses of light fabric the sleeves are made wide and very open, or in large bouillons. The skirts of these dresses are ornamented with small Tratting-highertinm the knee, and-4yotmd with a shade of deeper coloured taffetas. If the dress is flowered over, the shade -mast be the same as the flowers. . . . . Skirts are also still- trimmed with one wide flounce headed by a pinked ruche, with three other ruches at the bottom of the flounce.- This is a particularly thatming style, when the ruche is black, upon a violet green Or 'brown dress. lt6t4s made itt the form of Isabeart—that is to say, with a point—continue - fa be much in favour for more dressy toilettes, especially in . taffetas antique, which is then ornamented with elegant passementeries en tablier. Sashes, made of the same material as the dress, are exceedingly pretty. They are made much wider at the bottom than at the -waist, and trimmed round with Am or plaiting, according to the trimming of the dress. The choice perplexes between the many diferent trimmings. Passententerie, perhaps, takes rather the highest place amongst then: That composed of small chains, forming a kind of networt, as ftile as lace. is Jure) and. elegant. It is generally wide, !ind placed in form of a berths on the body of the dress, and en tabliers en the skirt it is also sometimes placed in a double raw round the bottom of the skirt. Chains of gold sequins, or rounds of silk of the form and sU4 d sequins. still form a trimming much .in vogue ; and although this is not according to the taste of some ladies, we must confess they are much admired by many. . straw is to be very much used in trirttneinge. Dresses are to be embroidered with straw ; velvet and ribbon edged with it; brandeboargs and passementeries to be made of it, in the same way that gold has been so much used diftirie the winter. --- Mousseline! - /le sole and English organdi, . which resembles crepe lisle, and tulle, are in - favour for hall, dress.; !lowers, lace, and blonde are used to ornament them; Generally, robes of tulle, silk, or tarlatan are trimmed with drapery. bordered with a small bouillonn of tine er tarlatan, edged with a narrow lace or blonde, sometimes a narrow but vary - thick ruche. This is very becdf44. Dinner dresses aro usually of silk—some have been Made of very thick silk—double chain they are called. Therare striped, Pekin or pOntpadour, land made with plain skirts. The body of these must be made low, and one of the pretty fichus so frihionable now, worn with it. These are sometimes half-high, crossed in front, and ornamented with black velvet or narrow ribbons. The mantelets and easaques for this spring are mostly very graceful in form. tot the trimming of mantles, &c., lace is always con sidered elegetit :, and it is said that gold and straw will be much used. The large arid loose paktSt, which has been so much worn this winter it cloth, is now made in tafetas, and has a wide flounce, 'headed with a plaiting, or with three little flounces. If required, to be a little MoradreSsy, this flounce can be made of coloured talfetas, coveted with black lace, with a ruche of ribbon of the sani6 colour, and narrow black lace mixed, as a heading. in'e spring tonnete are rather larger than those worn in thc, winter. They eta brought very forward on the forehead, and the crowns are eitber sloping or full. The curtains are worn rather smaller. The trimmings, however, are generally heavy. Straw bonnets, which are much worn just now, liare jerietttllv a soft crown of silk. There is a very pretty material for' drew erowns—it is black silk. embroidered in coloured silk or straws, or even small gold spots. The curtain sliould be the sans Ftgl the crown, and the trimming a bouquet of flo wers on one side, to match the embroidery, surrounded with black lace. Leghorn bonnets are generally very simply t r i mme d . Sometimes a double plait of straw falls over part of the curtain, and forms a bow on the top, like the coiffure relit. Coloured straw bonnets are also much worn. The most fashionable are green, grey, or black, em broidered in small flowers, either coloured or simply in straW. Press bonnets are made principally of crape and vel vet, or silk, cot tulle and silk. An elegant bonnet in this style was composed of white crape, with a soft crown of white silk with gold stars, trimmed with white feathers spotted with gold. For coiffures, the wreath is no longer so much worn. The . flowers are sometimes placed in short wreaths, in form of a diadem, or in small tufts, put according to fancy, and to suit the style of hair. Often, two of these bonquets ate arranged With the plait oT hair at the "tiei a the head.
