FRANCE.

The Moniteur publishes the following report to
the Emperor from the Minister of the Interior :
" PARIS, March 14.

" Sire—On the occasion of the anniversary of the
birth of the Imperial Prince, your Majesty, desiring
to accord a proof of your consideration for the
municipalities of the Enipire, has commanded me
to present for the decoration of the Legion of
Honour someof themayorsrecommended by the value
and length of their services. I have the honour of
placing before your Majesty the names of those
who appear to me the most worthy of that high
distinction. As your Majesty recommended, I have
not confined myself to pointing out the magistrates
placed in the important centres of population ;
among the Mayors proposed are a certain number
having the administration of rural communes, and
some among them being simple farmers; but your
Majesty knows how to appreciate everywhere ab-
negation and zeal for the public welfare, and I am
sure of responding to your intentions in designating
aged and loyal, servants of the State, who, sur-
rounded with esteem and respect, apply them-
selves gratuitously to the interests of the com-
munes. Sire, in 1856 your Majesty called to the
baptism of the Imperial Prince the mayors of
all the chief towns of the departments. Your
Majesty has now chosen the moment in which
the Child of France is about to enter his
seventh year to give to the municipal administra-
tions a fresh proof of your august sympathy, and
that useful and numerous class of functionaries will
understand your Majesty's intentions. They will
feel a profound sentiment of gratitude in seeing
their devotedness and services united in your Ma-
jesty's thoughts with the reminiscence of an event
dear to the people who have associated their desti-
nies with that of your dynasty. If your Majesty
should deign to approve of my proposal, I shall
have the honour of submitting for your signature
the project of decree annexed .—I am, &c.,

" F. DE PERSIGNY."

THE VOLUNTEERS.

On the 7th of last month a meeting of Volunteer officers
was held in the Merchants'-hall, Glasgow, to consider the

propriety of memorialising Government for further aid.
The meeting was well attended both in point of numbers
and from the position of those present. Resolutions were
unanimously passed in the sense that further Government
aid is imperatively necessary, and a committee was ap-
pointed to prepare a memorial to the Secretary of State for
the Home Department, and to co-operate for the proposed
object with other officers throughout the country. The
committee appointed by tho meeting in question have not
allowed the grass to grow on their heels. They have
already forwarded a memorial to the Government in sup-
port of their views, and have prepared a petition to Par-
liawent, which is now in course of signature, or possibly
may have been already presented, though we have not
seen it yet in the notices of presented petitions. Had
the matter rested here, we should not have a
word to say. Of course, we aro in a thorough
umpatby with the GLu;gow meeting. Our great object,
as well as theirs, is to mate the Volunteer movement per.
manent; and though we might, perhaps, differ in details
as towhat and how much Government aid will best con-
t.° to this end, we should most assuredly agree in the
tus 1T,`,,..""0n- But the committee have done more than

A' THE FACULTIES OF THE BODY, in
harmony with those of THE MIND, approach deve-
loped maturity, the rising human being, surrounded by
factitious circumstances—s,me salutary, some peridelons—
becomes susceptible of impressions which, according, to the
degree of PRUDENCE and KNOWLEDGE with which he is en-
dowed, may be the sources of happiness or of unspeakable
misery.
Some of the most deadly and terrible of the influences last
referred to originate at that period when parents fondly hope
that the objects of their love are being prepared to tiglit
honourably the great battle of life—namely, the scholastic
and eoaate period. Habits are then contracted, in
uusmpecting ignorance of their effects. which, if not ar-
rested, tend to Rink the VICTIMS or Ettuor. to the deepest
depths of defiradatiou and woe. The evil is aggravated by
the aPafilY too generally evinced by the medial profession,
not only as to the nature but the very existence of the
diseases arising from the cause indilated, and to which the
general and inadequate designation of "Nervous Disorders
and Debility " has be
en given. One of the consequences of
this neglect is, that the treatment of the most delicate
classes

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-MONDAY.

Nothing was done on any of the events to come off at
either Coventry or Warwick,—For the Chester Cup, Hadji
Stavros was in request, but we heard no higher offer against
Black Prince than 20 to 1. For the Northamptonshire
Stakes, at the close, 12 to 1 was offered on the field.
100 to 6 each had been taken about Dusk and Prince
Plausible ; 20 to 1 was afterwards laid, 100 to 6 was
taken against Finland, and offered against Schism, but
less than 20 to 1 was declined. Suburban was the only
animal supported for the City and Suburban. There
is little change on either the Two Thousand Guineas
Stakes or the Derby ; for the latter 9 to 1 would have been
taken in hundreds about Buckstone, but the highest offer
was Bto 1. Closing prices :

ALDCROFT, the JOCKEY. This celebrated rider met
with a serious accident a few days ago, in consequence of
his hack slipping on the frosty road whilst he was return-
ing from Mr. T. Dawson's, Tupgill, to his own residence
at Middleham. Subsequently he recovered sufficiently
again to visit the well-known moor, but, it is said, that his
life is now despaired of. .
IMPORTANT STEEPLECHASE MATCH.—It is said that a
sporting steeplechase match will take place this month, be-
tween a young and popular baronet and a celebrated hard-
riding major, for £5OO a side. The ground will be selected
by a well-known old sportsman at Melton. The major,
whose plum-coloured jacket and black cap are well known
on steeplechase courses, is slightly the favourite.

EXECUTION AT CARLISLE.

On Saturday, at 12 o'clock, Win. Charlton wag
executed at Carlisle Gaol. The culprit, it will be
remembered, was found guilty of the murder of Sane
Emmerson, an old woman, who kept the gate at the
Duiran-hill crossing of the Newcastle and Carlisle
Railway, on the 21st of November last. There was
but little apparent cause for the murder, as the
woman was poor, and from the fact of her
being aged other reasons did not exist ;
but the
most fearful part of the etory was the endeavour
made by the prisoner to affix the guilt of the crime
upon his brother-in-law, who, howeve proved a

Linseed and rapeseed have ruled steady ; but nearly all
other descriptions of seed have been much neglected. In

TEE DIVORCE COUI?T.

A return has been issued from the House of Com-
mons of the amount and character of the business
transacted in the Divorce Court since its commence-
ment to the 30th July, 1861. The act came into
operation on the 11th Jan., 1858. In little more
than three years and a half it appears that there
have been 781 petitions for dissolution of marriage,
248 petitions for judicial separation, 43 for restitu-
tion of conjugal rights, 16 for nullity of marriage,
and 100 applications by wives for the protec-
tion of their earnings from their husbands who
have deserted them. There have also been
eight petitions under the Legitimacy Decla-
ratory Act, making altogether, within four, 1,200
cases, If the dates when the alleged acts of adul-
tery were committed are examined, it seems that,
out of 781 petitions for dissolution of marriage, the
causes of offense which gave rise to the petitions
that took place antecedent to the passing of the act
were 437, and since the passing of the act 344.
This, however, is hardly a fair criterion, because
the vast majority of petitions that were filed in
1858 arose out of misconduct committed in former
years, or, at all events, before August, 1857. But
if the petitions for dissolution of marriage for the
year ending 30th July, 1861, are examined, a very
different result is shown. Out of 177 petitions for
dissolution of marriage, only 51 arose out of occur-
rences previous to the passing of the act, whilst
126 arose from misconduct since the passing of the
act ; in other words, the difference was 71.2 per
cent. as against 28,2 per cent. ; thus showing pretty
clearly that though the old sores and accumulations
have nearly been cleared off, the number of petitions
still keep up to what they have hitherto been. The
same thing is observed in the cases for judicial
separation, and far restitution of conjugal rights.
The court, up to July 30, 1861, had disposed of 445
cases for dissolution of marriage, in 416 of which
dissolution had been granted, and in 29 had been

refused. Out of the whole 445 cases for dissolution
tried, 315 or 70.8 per cent., were undefended. Thy'
total number of causes remaining for hearing—that
is, set down for trial at the commencement of the
last long vacation—was 74. But by the long list
published at the commencement of Hilary Term of
the present year, it seems that this number had
since then materially increased. On the 11th of
January, for instance, when the court commenced
its sitting for this year, there were 105 causes in
the printed list, and this though the court had been
sitting almost daily from the early part of Novem-
ber to Christmas.

The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-

ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.

is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully

THAMES.

MARINE SwlNDLzus.—Thomas Carly and John Wil-
liams, seamen, were charged with obtaining £9 in money,
and clothes valued at £lO 10s., of Mr. Abraham Harris,
outfitter, of No. 170, St. George-street, alias Ratcliffe-
highway, by means of false pretences.
The prisoners arrived in the port of London a few days
since in the ship Verbenia, which had made a nine months'
voyage, and their:custom was solicited by a runner or touter
in the employ of the prosecutor, who took them to his shop
and they were soon rigged out in a new suit of clothes,
with neckerchief, boots, new linen, and everything that
was necessary to make them appear smart at the pay table.
On the day the ship was paid off the prisoners did not pre-
sent themselves at the Shipping Office, and on inquiries
being made it was soon ascertained that they had no wages
to receive, and that they had never formed part of the ori-
ginal crew of the Verbenia, and were not named in the
ship's articles at all. They were picked up in the western
ocean, and had been shipwrecked out of another ship
which was lost at sea.

Mr. Selfe—So you have been defrauded of clothes and
money to the amount of 121 Ws. in all Mr. Harris.
Mr. Harris—Yes, sir; they represented to me they
joined the ship in China at S3l7s. 6d. per month, and
had a large amount of wages to receive.
Mr. Selfe—You would not have given them credit if you,
knew they had no wages to receive?

Mr. Harris—Certainly not.
Evidence was given that the prisoners were arrested in
Euston-square, as they were about to depart for Liverpool.
The new clothes obtained from Mr. Harris were taken
away in the Lemon-street station-house, and their old ones
given back to them.

_
The prisoners said Mr. Harris's runner took them to his
shop, and said they might have whatever they wanted.
They would get a ship and leave their advance notes with
Mr. Harris.

Mr. Selfe—And he is to keep you until that time
The prisoners—We were never brcught up to be rogues
—we were never brought up to be rogues.
Mr. Selfe—You have taken to it very well. It is a most
dishonest proceeding. I think Mr. Harris had better put
up with the loss of the money, and let these men go. He
has got back the clothes.

Mr. Harris said it was a hard case upon him, and the
prisoners ought to be punished.
Mr. Selfe—Your runner has taken these men to your
shop, and you force clothes and money upon them, in
expectation of a good haul, as you thought they had plenty
of money to receive. You are so anxious for business that
you did not exercise common prudence. How easy was it
for you to have asked the captain or any of the officers if
the men had wages to receive P
The Jew said he could not pay rates, taxes, and rent
unless he was to push business a little.
Mr. Selfe—l will not commit for trial and put the county
to expense in such cases where clothes and money are put
upon sailors in expectation of very large profits.

Mr. Harris said he would prosecute at his own expense,
and it should not cost the county a farthing.

Mr. Selfo—Very well. I will keep you to your word.
At present the prisoners are remanded.

TURIN, MARCH 15, EVENING.

In the Chamber of Deputies to-clay explanations
were requested by Signor Petrucelli as to the con-
vocation of bishops at Rome,

Signor Pctrucelli was of opinion that the bishops,
similarly to other public functionaries dependent
upon the Government, ought to request leave of
absence to be allowed to visit Rome. These eccle-
siastics had more regard for the temporal than for
the spiritual power. Rome desired to proclaim the
dogma of temporal power and to make an appeal
to the Catholic world against France. Should the
bishops go to Rome without leave of the Govern-
ment, they must on their return become simple citi-
• zens and lose their ecclesiastical functions.

The Minister, Signor Poggi, replied :—" The
object of the convocation at Rome is unknown, but
it is certainly not of a religious character. The
Government is sufficiently armed by laws against
those bishops who should take their departure from

the State, and should render themselves guilty of
acts contrary to the interests of the nation. Up to
the present time leave of absence has always been
requested ; but, in case of this not taking place, the
Government will consider what course to adopt."

The Minister, Signor Mancini, added a few ob-
servations, and Signor Petrncelli declared himself
satisfied.

AS THE FACULTIES OF THE BODY, in
harmony with those of THE MIND, approach deve-
loped maturity, the rising human being, surrounded by
factitious circumstances—some salutary, some pernicious—
becomes susceptible of impressions which, according to the
degree of PRUDENCE and KNOWLEDGE with which he is en-
dowed, may be the sources of happiness or of unspeakable
misery.
Some of the most deadly and terrible of the influences last
referred to originate at that period when parents fondly hope
that the objects of their love are being prepared to fight
honourably the great battle of life—namely, the scholastic
and collegiate period. Habits are then contracted, in
unsuspecting ignorance of their effects. which, if not ar-
rested, tend to sink the VICTIMS OF ERROR to the deepest
depths of degradation and woe. The evil is aggravated by
the apathy too generally evinced by the meth 'al profession,
not only as to the nature but the very existence of the
diseases arising from the cause indicated, and to which the
general and inadequate designation of "Nervous Disorders
and Debility" has been given One of the eonsequences of
this neglect is, that the treatment of the most delicate
classes of disease which afflict society has been taken
up by unqualified and uneducated persons.
