NOVEL APPLICATION FOR A PROTECTING ORDER.—Mrs.
Elizabeth Rhinish, a very respectable woman, dwelling at
No. 6, Lower Chapman-street, St. George-in-the-East,
applied to Mr. Paget under the Matrimonial Causes and
Divorce Act for an order to protect her goods, money, and
chattels from her husband.

The applicant stated that she was married to her second
husband on the 19th of March, 1850, and that two years
afterwards she separated from him by mutual consent, and
he went abroad. He promised to send for her if he was
successful in his pursuits. He did not send for her, and
she was left with four children to maintain. She had never
seen or heard of her husband since.

lir. Paget—The law presumes that if a woman hears or
sees nothing of her husband for seven years that the
wife may conclude he is dead, and that tho wife would not
be liable to punishment if she married again.

Mrs. Rhinish did not wish to enter into the matrimonial
-compact a third time. (A laugh.) She was insured in the
Sun Fire-office, and was informed that she could not re-
cover a farthing if she lost her goods by fire.
Mr. Paget—Who told you that ?
Mrs. Rhinish—The people at the Sun Fire-office.
Mr. Paget—Your husband did not desert you ?
Mrs. Rhinish—No, we separated by mutual consent.
Mr. Paget did not think he could grant a protecting
order in this case. He was disposed to interfere for the ap-
plicant if he could, but the law did not give him the power.
The applicant was not deserted by her husband. The law
was passed for the protection of property acquired by
married women by their own industry after they had been
deserted, without fault on their part, by their husbands.
In this case there was no desertion, but a separation by
mutual consent.

Mrs. Rhinish—l am told I could get nothing if a fire was
to break out on my premises.
Mr. Paget said that was a question for another court, on
which he would give no opinion. He asked how long the
applicant had been insured, and in what office.
Mrs. Rhinish—For 25 years in the Sun office..
Mr. Paget did not think there was any practical risk
the applicant continuing her insurance. The Sun was at
old established, respectable office, and dealt liberally with
insurers. He would advise Mrs. Rhinish to make an appli-
cation to the directors of the Sun Fire-office to insure as a
widow. She would be quite jUstified in such a step, and
then all risk would be avoided. He merely threw this out
as a suggestion, and did not mean to say that the Sun
Fire-office would be compelled to insure the applicant's
property, but he believed it was most likely that would be
done.

Mrs. Rhinish thanked the magistrate and retired.

Quarrel in the French Chamber.

A Paris letter in the France Centrale gives the fol-
lowing account of an extra Parliamentary incident
which recently caused some little excitement among
the deputies—" After one of the late speeches deli-
vered by M. Jules Favre on the affairs of Mexico
several deputies were conversing with animation in
the lobby of the Legislative Body, and in the centre
of the group might be heard M. Henri Didier, de-
puty of the Ariege. 'An end should be put,' he
cried, ' to that canaille of an Opposition.' M. Beth-
mont, who was standing near, approached M. Didier
and said, ' You have just, sir, called the Opposition
canaille; I must observe that belonging to it I take
the word to myself, for you saw me very well and
spoke loud enough to be heard by every one.' M.
Didier replied, You can take it as you please.'
Very well,' said M. Bethmont, have the
kindness to request two of your friends to come
to the sixth bureau, where they will find two of
mine.' A few minutes later M. Henou and the
Marquis de Saint-Hermine, seconds of M. Beth-
mont, were discussing the affair with two of their
colleagues designated by M. Didier. The friends
of this last did not hesitate to acknowledge that he
was in the wrong, and represented to him that his
conduct and language had been so contrary to par-
liamentary propriety that they could not take his
part. They persuaded him to withdraw the offen-
sive expression, adding that if he did not do so he
would be disavowed by the entire majority. In
consequence, M. Didier presented himself in the
bureau where M. Bethmont was awaiting the result
of the interview, and made an apology which M.
Bethmont and his colleagues of the Opposition con-
sidered as a sufficient reparation. The above de-
tails are strictly authentic."

Signori Pezze and Andreoli's Martine

Musicale.

Signor Andreoli has long been one of our best
pianists, and Signor • Pezze possesses marvellous
skill in dealing with the somewhat unwieldly
loncello, so that the announcement of their joint
concert, given at the Marchioness of Downshire's
house in Beigrave-square, was sufficient to draw
together a very select and brilliant audience. The
performances, which were not too long, were ad-
mirably given, the chief success being, perhaps, .3
sonata for the piano and violoncello, composed 11
Andreoli himself, and played by the two concert'
givers. Being apparently afraid of tedium, the
players divided it into two parts ; but had it been
twice the length, it would have been willingly
listened to. Signor Andreoli gave his "Piece!
Caracteristiques" with great spirit and effect, O,
Signor Pezze in his solo showed what variety ncl
expression his instrument was capable of. To ad
to the attractions of the instrumental part of the
concert, Mr. Aptommas, one of our best harpist!'
played some Irish melodies with great ability ; 11/
fact, the only fault was that they were too short"
For the vocal department there was Mdme. Tre-
belli, Mdlle. Kruls, Signori Gardoni, Mr. sautleY;
Bettini, and Ferranti, all excellent in their differ°
styles. The Matinee passed off most successfulli:
and the audience separated quite delighted Wit
the entertainment provided.

ADELPHI THEATRE,

On Saturday evening on the occasion of het
benefit Miss Bateman appeared for the first tinle
in London as Pauline in the " Lady of Lyons
character (of course excepting Leah) better suite,
to her powers than any she has yet performecll/1
the metropolis. Miss Bateman's realisation of the
character of Pauline, however, although she has fre-
quently sustained it in America, presented 0°
very marked difference of style from that of ill
predecessors. It was scarcely to be expected thl:/
it should, for Pauline is no psychological enigul
which the artist, attempting to represent her, is ti
liberty to solve after what fashion she pleas es'
Nor can this be urged in depreciation of 1],,,
character. It is, to our thinking, a Ole': ,
rather than a defect in a dramatic personage
that its motive

parent as not to be susceptible' of a' variety of it-
cordant interpretations. That the heroine of Sir -F-).
Buiwer Lytton's fascinating play is not liable to sat

than the same views have been taken of the

the applause which was plenteously bestowed 4°,0
her. In all the more celebrated passages a t't
play she was especially effective. Her vehenlePsi
