DIVORCES IN MOLDAVIA.—By the rule of the
national Greek church theorem may be obtained three
time' during a lifetime, both parties consenting ; and in the
sweat of one of the marriages having been contracted be-
tween people within the forbidden degrees of consaoguinity,
• fourth is permitted—something on the principle of star-
ring • life at pool io billiards. In the whole society of
Jassy there was only one woman who had uot been
divorced, but she had only been married a few weeks. It
naturally follows in • limited society that the divorced
couple' are perpetually meeting each other ; and as they
do not, in the first immure, part on the ground of incom-
patibility of temper or any domestic difference, but retie•
rally simply from love of change—or, in other words, change
of love—they remain perfectly good friends afterwards ; mid
a woman introduces you first to her present husband as
men mare, and then I. her late husband as ewe c.c.ciari ;
so that it is quite possible to find yourself dancing in a met
of lancers with seven people, averring of whom has been
married at some time in his or her life with each of the
others. In this respect the system seemed productive of
sociability and good-fellowship rather than otherwise ; and
a great deal of the pleasure of society in these parte arises
from the intimate footing upon which the members are
with each other ; for it in evident that, if all the papas and
mammu have been husbands and wives, all the children
are, more or less, brothers and sisters. There are certain
inconveniences attending this great confusion of relation-
ships ; but one advantage to the stranger is, that be finds
himself in • large family instead of in • stiff society, where
mom time must elapse before he feels himself at home. The
Moldavian, themselves are accustomed to defend the sys-
tem on the score of morality. They maintain that the
groat facilities which exist for divorces lessen the tempta-
tions to infidelity ; but this is a theory which can scarcely
be said to be bores out by the results. Where the marriage
tie is so easily dissolved, even while it exists it is apt to
lose much of its sacred character ; and however mach may
theoretically be urged in favour of loosening the bonds of
matrimony, the experiment, as tried in the Principalities,
is not encouraging.—Blaciiroocto Mcgarine foe July.
CONFEDERATE RECRUITING AT LIVERPOOL—At
the Liverpool Pollee-court on Thursday, Edward Camp-
bell, a sailors' boardiog- housekeeper, in Ramat-street, was
charged with infringing the Foreign Enlistment Act by
seguging men for the Confederate government in December
and May last, for service on board the Georgia and the
Rappahannock. Mr. Bateson (Baboon and Robinson), in-
structed by the Solicitor of the Treasury, prosecuted ;
and Mr. Carr, solicitor. appeared for the defendant.
A firemen named Shapley stated that be was engaged
for the Georgia in December last by the defendant, sad
proceeded to join her at Cherbourg. He served four
months and seven days on board, and returned with her
to Liverpool. where her crew were paid off, and her
career as a Confederate cruiser terminated. He was than
asked to get mew to join the Rappahansock. He did in-
duce several men, and about 18 or 19, including 10 fire-
men, went in company with the defendant by ra=
from Liverpool to Dover. and thence to Calais. At
it appeared that the Rappahannock not being ready
for sea required no firemen. Three witnesses deposed to
these facia. Mr. Can, for the defendant, took • c aim
technical objeetioe, tamely, that firemen were not in laded
in the terms of the sot, which only specified " any officer,
soldier, sailor, or merles:" steamers, sod consequently fins
men, not being in vogue at the time the act was ieseed.
Mr. Raffles said that was a point he would not deci ir. and
the case must, after the sworn evidence given, necessarily
go
before • jury. The prisoner was therefore committed for
trial, but formally remanded that he might have an °pout to-
nity of procuring bail.
