LONDON. WZDNINDAY, DEC. 1.

Tar tedious and disgusting CMS of "111.otcaatorr
" r. Mattcnnotrr," after occupying the time of the
Divorce Court for seven dap, has at length come to
a close. The finding of the Jury establishes that
in their judgment the husband has been guilty of
what, in law, amounts to cruelty, and that there has
been nothing un the part of the wife which in law
amounts to condonation. On this finding Mrs.
Maltaittosr is entitled to a decree of judicial
separation, wilts, on application made, the ledge
grants a rule mia for • new trial, and the full
Court makes such rule absolute. This very
*lethal inquiet has supplied • forcible illustration
of the wisdom of the Napoleonic adage, which re-
commends people to wash their dirty linen at home.
This unlucky pair have rejected the sound and
salabsiess advice, and the public have been made a
party to the mineable history of their gross nano-
duct sad their sordid brawls. The sardonic serenity
of Sr CILISSWW. Ceram% zu. must have been
taxed to the utmost by the ignoble task imposed
apes him, and the most unlimited appetite kw
scandal must have beer. long since cloyed by the
wearisome repetition of all that is moat masseuse
and revolting in the quarrels of matrimony.
Such • picture of an interior was won(
before preeented. On the cate side was thm
widow of • tavern-keeper, well advsassd
in middle life, without famdy, with • foams of
wow, and a somewhat developed teadiney to
sherry—a woman, to judge from the evidence, of
bat temper and sharp tongue, • keen mass of the
value of money, and a morbidly irritable jealousy.
Oo the other side was • doweling minister of six-
and-thirty—a widower with two or three childrea—
somewhat of a Lotharie it would seem—glib is
speech, by no means dtfki.nt is culture, but weak'
on the side of temper. 1 hat the 60,0001. had ease►

a-year; his pen realised about ea much more. Still,
eves to • man with the rooftrees 50,0001. counts
for something ; it may at all events be supposed to
have added to the matrimoinal attraction/ of a
widow who, " not to pet tee fine a point on
it," can hardly have been lass than ten years his
maim. Obviously here were all the elements requi-
site for the prodoctiift of an unhappy anion. They
were not long in developing their natural results. The
inaletnesey of mutual di►like and distrust set in
with the very comma mann of the honeymoon, and

raged without intermission until the close of the
cohabitation. Some eight months of bitter and
incessant wrangling, of vile imputations, of oatha,
of outrages, of personal ♦iolesoe, filled up the inter-
space; till the lady, who had some helf•dotten times
made her escape and been brought back again,
succeeded in finally breaking away from the ocean-
bial endearments of her ill-selected sparse. Then

followed tezal proceedings on her part—letters of
prostrate and unmanly adulation on his.

We have no inclination to rake into the contents
of this very foul buck-basket, and expose in still
greater prominence what this extremely ill-advised
couple ought carefully to have coeoealed from the
public gaze. The jury have fennel that the conduct
of Mr. Ilexennoer to hie wife amounted to legal
erselty within the true meaning of that phrase, as
elaborately explained to them by the learned Judge
of the Divorce Court. As mere readers of the
evidence, we should certainly not have been sur-
prised had the verdict been the other way. The
amount of provocation received by the husband
Deems to Lave been enormous, nor do his seta
of violence, blameable se they undoubtedly were,
appear to have so far exceeded the limits of
the occasion as to have fallen within the legal
definition of cruelty. But in dealing with a vast
mw of evidence such as has been brought forward
on this °cession, those who only read cannot venture
to put their judgment in competition with those
who have both heard sod seen. This is precisely
one of those Mee in which the demeanour and man-
ner of the parties and *imams is even a more
portant aid to the formation of • right coanlesion
than the fact' and statements deposed to. Had
this outs been tried, as before the change of the
law it would have beep, on written depositions,
it is highly probable that in the opinion of
the single judge with whom the deasicia would
then bays rested, the charge of legal malty might
not have been sustained. The Jury, who have seen
and heard all the witsewee, who have bed wary
opportunity of testing the statements wale oo either
side, by those minute circutnstances Of Wm. ImPral•
lion, end gesture, by which we all Mem oar own
judgments of oar fellow-creatures in everyday life,
have some to toe eonclasion—for seek is the malt
of their finding—that the wife's story is mere ay-
ditite than the husband's. We have every inclina-
tion to accept their judgment on this point se final,
and we trust that no attempt will be made—se, if
made, that it will be made in vain—to hays the
cam submitted to another jury.
After all it is difficult to see how the interests' of
weal morality could have been promoted by refusing
to ides. hit ItCIINOST the Fetid she sought. To have
forced two such natures swan ender the yoke of a'
most miserable wedlock could ham realised no'
other end than that of asking the husband • tile-
pensioner on a reluctant wile. It is more than '

probable that the eagerness with which' the hus-
band resisted the wife's petition was attributed
by the jury to the same meruenary. class 4ar
motives that unquestionably actuated him
first possessing himself of her hand. _ Read
by this light, his impassioned and imploring
letters would asturaUy tell very strongly against
the writer. As it is, Mr. MARCIIMONT, who gave up
his chapel on his marriage, will very likely be a con-
siderable offerer, in a pecuniary point et view, by
the result of the cause. But if this be so, who will
pity him? He has simply, with his eyes open,
made the worst of all bad speculations—that of mar-
rying ler money a widow who turns out a vixen. He
has probably, at some time or other, chosen as a
text for his discourse to others the great truth
that " the love of money is the root of all evil."
Henceforth he will have ample leisure, which
it may be hoped will be diligently improved, of
meditating on this precept for hie own instruction.
The came, when reduced to its essentials, is after all
nothing more than this : A cultivated man marries
an uncultivated woman for gold ; his reward is that,
after a year of misery, the law steps in, puts an end
to all his hopes of matrimonial emolument, and
leaves him poorer than before, by the loss of his
professional position and the costs of defending a
most enormously expensive suit. " Maricastorir e.
MARCRMONT," after wasting seven days of the
public time and filling many pages of email type, is
but an authority for one of the most elementary
points that has ever been laid down in the text books
of Matrimony. Reim fleeing in the great mystery of
wedlock might safely be left to predict the chancel of
connubial felicity that await an irritable widower of
thirty-six who marries for money a stingy and short-
tempered widow of fifty.
