TO THE EDITOR OF 1113 RIPER/MI,

HIM. unfortunate suit, reported iu your
papers of Thursday and Friday hat, in which 1 was the
respondent, is an illustration of the facilities which the
Act of Parliament gives to a wife to Mika injury upon
her husband and children. In my case • petition wen
filed by my wife against me praying for • judicial sepa-
ration on the ground of cruelty, and I was bound to ap-
pear sad offer a defence or submit to a verdict being re-
corded against me. It is, perhaps, not generally known
that iu all suits for a jodicisl separation the usband,whether
ss petitioner or respondent, is bound to pay his wife's costa.
In this case the charges alleged against me appeared to
the court so completely unfounded that I was not even
called upon fora defence. At the clam of the petitioner's
case the judge interpo•ed and affirmed that 'she had estab.
Wished no case, and directed • verdict in my favour, upon
which the jury stated that they had unanimously arrived
at that conclusion the previous day. In defending this
suit I have incurred and expended, in meta and legal
expenses, nearly 4001, and I have incurred expenses in the
Court of Queen's Bench, upon obtaining • habeas to get pos-
session of my children, as also expenses in the police court, a
summary of which I have subjoined. The most unfortunate
circumstance in this case is that I have three children under
ten years of age, who will be proportionate sufferers with
me in this fearful merinos of money :—Petitioner's oasts,

WOOL AND WORMSD.—BALDFORD, liar 7.-
2tocka of wools an exceedingly • t. There la a want C 4
variety, and difficulty is in reeling with sorts
required by spinners. The barium &usr oomegneritly
very limited, and prior an exceedingly irr There ia a
good laminae doing in worsted yarns, particularly in coaele
from 30's to Ws, and pricer are if anything rather staffer.
The unsatisfactory Mar of the piece market methanol,
though perhaps in a somewhat mitigated degree. It as too
early yet for the home holism to give out the fall weight of
their orders for the autumn, nor is them myth* in the
pries to tempt them to do so earlier than meal ; bet there
is notwithstendiog rather more disposition to operate on the
part of our home merchants. The hosiers dreg for the
Continent and America in exceedingly meagre.

LACE AND HOSIERY. NOITOKMAX. MAT 7.
lace.—There is no improvement to note in any breach c
the lace trade. Scarcely any buyen are in the mean, sad
the demeod for quilliap and narrow Weep is lees ani-
mated. The foreign markets are also do l; the Osman
trade especially in flat. Cotton goods are ISM inquired
after ; and, although a fair trade in plain goods bail heat
done by a few warehouse., the improvement is only penis/
Hosiery.—We cannot report any change in the hosiery
trade, which continues very dull. A large portion of the
=cannery in our factories is standing idle, and the opus.
twee are afflicted with the severest privations arising from
so long an absence of employment —Nottingham Jounsw.

NEWBURY, MAT 7.—We had ibis day rather more
wheat offering, for which higher prices were demanded, and
Waimea was checked, very little being done at L. per qr.
lam money. Very little doing in barley at l►te rates. Oats
and beans rather a better trade. _

good the demand, and the trade dull at a reduction of Is.
per qr. on the prices obtained lut week. Spring corn is
dearer, the weather being too dry for the 'rowing crops.
