A LADY fjOILFOi BELTRACH OF PROXIES Or MARRIAGE.
—Pan Miley, took place, on Wednesday, before the
Master of the Court of Queen's Bench in Dublin and a
jai of six, to assess damages in an action which was
brought to recover compensation laid at £2,000 for
breaah of promise of marriage. The plaintiff, Mr.
Thomas Jackson Marks, lived seer Arise, in. the county
of Louth, end in lefrO he entered into an engagement to
marry the female drfendent, Mrs. Rowland. then Mir
Smith, who also lived in the county of Louth. After
some time the eneagement was broken off, and the
plaint IF then went to New Westminster, in Briti.h
Columbia. While there a correspondence was opened
between him and Miss Smith, whir led to • renewal of
the marriage engagemet t. The letters that passed were
of the meet affectionate cheerier and prophesied the
happiness the facie, would enjoy when the engagement
was ratified. In August, 1867, the plaintiff sold off
the farm in Columbia to come home to get
married. When be reached Canada, a letter awaited
him from Miss Smith, at ding that she could not really
love him, that the supposed erection was • mistake,
and that the engagement mutt he broken off. She
shortly afterward. married Mr. Rowland, who wrote to

commented on. It was alleged that the plaintiff disposed
of his farm and left Colombia only because he expected
to merry the defendant The jury found • verdict for
the plaintiff. damages 1200.
Ma. DISRAILI AIM FRE PIRRAGE. —Few will wonder
that Mr. Disraeli hes refused a peerage. The real
power at his command as the leader of • powerful party
in the House of Commons is too keenly enjoyed to be
given up for a nominal elevation in rank. Mr. Disraeli
In the House of Dods would be politically extinct.
The newnese of his title would more than counterbalance
the power of his intellect, toe strength of his will, and
the resources of Ins boundless tact The delights of
political strife, the pitting of skill against skill, awl of
bringing intellectual achievements to bear against
foemen worthy of his steel the excitement of battle
and the joys of victory—all these wonld have to be
foregone. Brouehant himself wee not more painfully
out of his eleteett in the sober calm of the Upper
Chamber than the sacceseful soldier of fortune would
be who is now at the head of effeirs. Moreover, Mr.
Disraeli has no heir on whom the peerage could descend.
Mr. Disraeli wet wt.*, therefore, in refusing the coronet
offered him 41:1 the Queen; indeed, his asceptanee is
hardly to be tbotight of save as a heroic, and, as matters
✓and, as • wailer act of sellabosgation. Mr.. Disraeli,
the severtat d 'critics, but a perfect wife," to quote
her husband', published words, will take the rank of
Viecountase Beaconsfield, with the emagratulatiens of
the country • and Mr. Diwaell will remain in the arena
in which his position haa been won. This is natural
and proper, but still it is suggestive of something
anoemlous in the position of the two Houses that the
world, exempting Sir Reinald Knightley and his friends,
shod' so eagerly congratulates men of lability upon
keeping out of the one whibh is theoretically the higher,
but ehieb is regarded as a sort of sleepy-hollow fatal to
geniis and enterprise. Commiseration, mixed, perhaps,
with • little contemptuous wonder, would have been
the prevailing feeling if Mr. Disraeli had consented te

comparative indifference with which the elevation d
