SECOND EDITION.

SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK.

COCHIN-CHINA.

The accounts received from Cochin-China, says
the Pays, are quite satisfactory, the most perfect
tranquillity prevailing in the provinces occupied
by the French. The symptoms of insurrection
which showed themselves some short time since
have completely disappeared. The administration
is occupied in promoting agriculture, and in placing
French rule on a so id footing. The Govercme► It
of Hue appears to be well disposed to respE
treaties.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day,)

COURT OF DIVORCE.

(Before Sir J. P. Wilde.)
o'r,ANE V. O.KANE AND LORD PALMERSTON.

The court, as on the previous day when this ease was
brought fonvard, was crowded to excess both by the bar
and the publcl and during the brief proceedings the most
perfect silence provailed, evincing the deep interest of the
spectators.
On the case being called on,
The Queen's Advocate said—ln order to prevent a repeti-
tion of the irregularities that took place when the case ca me
last before the court, I trust your lordship will allow lite to
make a few observations.

Mr. G. Browne (counsel for the petitioner)—l don't see
what right the Queen's Advocate has to make any observe-
tions at present.

The Queen's Advocate—The petition in this case wan
served in October, 1863, the answer was filed on the 11th of:
November following, in which the respondent denied at e
adultery, and the co-respondent applied on the 27th Decew t-
ber for specifications with reference to the adultery chargr .d
Your lordship on last Tuesday week made an order for -the
petitioner to furnish particulars, or, in the event of his -not
complying, the petition to b c dismissed.
Sir J. P. Wilde—You cannot be heard first, as that co arse
would be irregular.
The Queen's Advocate—l was called on to peruse these
affidavits, aad having done so I think it right to say that
much of the matter it contains might be omitted, although
counsel for the petitioner said there would not be any irre-
levant matter introduced. I made the same observation on
the last day when the case was brought on.

Mr. Seymour was about to make some observations, but.
Sir J. Wilde said the proper course was for Mr. Brow n
now to show cause,

Mr. Brown—On the last day I was making some obs2r-
vations relative to the affidavit of Mr. Wells, but I wrgi
interrupted, and was not permitted to make these observe,.
tions. The affidavit on which Mr. Seymour, as counsel fa r
the respondent, obtained his rule contained grave chargy3B
against the petitioner and Mrs. Wells, and stated that f.file
case was brought forward merely for the purposes of eat or-
don ; but that allegation was founded merely en the be',ief
of Mr. Horsley, and I am instructed to give it the rust
emphatic denial.
Sir J. P. Wilde—Read the affidavit.

Mr. Browri read that portion of the affidavit which ro-
ferred to the charge of extortion, and other portions of the
same which have already been published. I repeat that that
charge is quite untrue. I regret very much that the letter
of Mr. O'liane was appended to that affidavit. With re-
gard to the arrrangement, I deny that it was made between.
the parties.
Sir J. Wilde—What does that mean ?
Mr. Brown—Why, that the arrangements were made by
third parties.
Mr. J. P, Wylde—That is what you mean.
Mr. Brown—Under these circumstances 1 am not in-
structed to make any further opposition to the rule being
made absolute.

The Queen's Advocate—After the expression of your
lordship I have but one word to say with respect to the
arrangement. lam instructed to deny emphatically that
any arrangement was made between the co-respondent and
the petitioner.
Mr. Seymour entered into explanations is reference to
certain irregularities imputed to the solicitor of his client.

Sir J. P. Wilde—From what has taken place to-day the
petition must of course be dismissed. The petitioner now
comes into court and says an arrangement has been effected
through his friends. It was a hardship that a man
should] be allowed to take away the character of his
wife with impunity by casting imputations on her
chastity. The respondent, who challenged proof, now
leaves the court without a tarnish. The petitioner retires
with evil words, and with the contempt cf others. With
respect to the co-respondent, it is a matter of great satisfac-

tion to the Court that a name which is never...mentioned
in England without just pride should have passed from its
annals without a stain.

A burst of applause broke forth, but which, of course, was
immediately repressed.

The rule was then made absolute.
