MEXICO.

The Mercantile Chronicle, published in Panams,
on the 6th July, says :—" By way of Guatemala we
learn that the state of Chiapas is determined to
resist the regime of the Empire. In that and other
Southern States o► Mexico the Republican Govern-

ment is the only one recognised, end the inhabi-
tants are resolved to resist, at all hazarda, the armies
of the intervention. General Porfirio Diaz was at
Oajaca with a large force.

CANADA.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.

The Canadian Mail steamer Nova Sootian, Capt.
Graham, which left Qaebec on the 16th inst., arrived
in the Mersey this afternoon.

The Hon. Mr Brown had been re-elected with-
out opposition as a member of the Canadian Par•
liament.

The Quebec Chronicle says :—" We are glad to
find that the general tone of the press of the lower
provinces is favourable to the action taken by the
Canadian Government during the recent Ministerial
crisis, and full of hope as to the result. The opinion
of our neighbours is the more valuable, because it
is uninfluenced by party bias. Wholly free from
the rancour of past differences, which, in some cases,
has prejudiced the judgment of several Canadian
journalists, the views of our lower province con-
temporaries may be freely accepted as those of im-
partial observers. They look forward, in a spirit
of liberal and enlightened patriotism, far above:the
petty level of mere provincial politics to the esta-
blishment of closer relations between Canada and
her sister colonies of British North America, to
the formation of such ties as 'NM combine national
strength and dignity with internal peace and com-
mercial prosperty. It is to be hoped that these
expectations may be realised, and that the recent
political events may contribute to the general wel.
fare."

The St. John (N. B.) iiforning News says :
" From the tenour of Mr Brown's remarks it would
seem that it is the intention of the Government to
send delegates to a convention of delegates from the
Lower Province, which is to meet at Charlottetown,
P.E.I. in a few weeks, and to England, to seek the
cooperation of the Imperial Government. The
step taken by Mr Brown in this instance is a bold
one ; and few will doubt that his abjuration of party
alliances, in order to benefit his country socially,
politically, and otherwise, will be appreciated by
intelligent people generally."

The coroner's inquest in the case of the St Hi•
liare Buoge disaster has at length been brought to
a conclusion, their verdict being that the accident
was owing to the gross carelessness of Tom Birnie,
the engine-driver, and he was committed to take
his trial for the offence.

brush disposes of this peril. The snail attracted by the
warmth occasionally creeps in. The bees successively
attack him, but find their stings blunted and broken by the
shell as shot is by our ironsides. Failing to injure or re"
move the intruder they have recourse to a plan which
cates more than instinct. They cover him up with Pre;

COURT OF DIVORCE,

CHETWYND V. CHETWYND —CONTEMPT OF COURT.
This was a suit instituted by the wife for dissolution of
Marriage on the ground of adultery and cruelty. A rule
nisi had been obtained for an attachment against a Mr
lauloch, an elderly gentleman of some standing and posi-
tion in the county of Stafford, for contempt of Court, in
Writing a letter to the petitioner, Mrs Chetwynd, dated the
16th of July, threatening that unless she discontinued pro-
ceedings in this case against her husband on or before the
20th inst., ho would publish, on his own responsibility, all
the particulars he knew of her case, accompanied
by a statement of her career both before and
after her marriage. Mr Muloch a few days ago
appeared in court, and, after having entered at
great length the Judge Ordinary ordered him to refrain from
publishing such a statement, but Mr Muloch still refused,

. was ordered to attend in court to-day. The learned
J`ldge at great length expressed his opinion that, according
to the authorities on the point, Mr Muloch had been guilty
of a contempt of Court, and he therefore fined him 1300,
but directed, at the same time, that the fine was not zo be
enforced until next term, during which period Mr Muloch
Would have an opportunity of reflecting upon his posi-
tion. At that time he should be quite ready to hear
atatenaent that might be made for the reduc-
tion of the fine, but during that period, if Mr
?Inloch did anything to the prejudice of Mrs Chetwynd
he would be liable to a further fine or imprisonment.

CODRINGTON V. CODRINGTON AND ANDERSON.
They was a suit instituted by Admiral Codrington for
dissolution of marriage on the ground of the wife's adul-
tery with the corespondent, Colonel David Anderson, of
the 22d Regiment of Foot, who denied the charge. The
respondent, in addition to denial, pleaded that if
abe had committed the adultery it had been con-
don(d by the misconduct of her husband. Adultery
Waa also charged with a Lieutenant Mildmay, but he was
11°t made as co-respondent to the suit. There were two
Children the issue of the marriage. No damages were
asked for by Admiral Codrington.
Mr. Bovill, Q C., opened the case for the petitioner, and
at great length detailed the circumstances of the marriage,
Which took place in 1849, and he then proceeded to enter
very minutely into the facts of the case, and he told the
Jury he thought he should place before them such evidence
that would leave on their minds of the truth of the allega-
tions of the petitioner. The learned gentleman was pro-
ceeding with the opening speech when we went to press.
