meats, rioted hid been since employed on the tele-
graphs in very large numbers. But it was highly
gratifying to find that most important measures had
been taken at Edinburgh for meeting the evils com-
plained of in all their forms, and with a degree of
judgment and circumspection equal to the benevo-
lence of the parties, so as to weigh all objections
against each proposal, to remove the difficulties that
exist, and to avoid the rocks on which benevolence
too often makes shipwreck, and thus falls short of
beneficence—the point at which it becomes not only
a virtue but a good. The establishment at Edin•
burgh of the Society for the Employment of Women
deserved the greatest attention, because of the singu-
larly practical views with which it had been con-
ducted, and the service it had rendered during the
year of its existence, and the still greater things
which it was engaged in adding to its present la-
bours. Miss Rye had added the encouragement of
emigration to her other good works in behalf of fe-
male employment; but she, as well as Miss Parkes,
Miss Faithful!, and others with whom she eo-ope-
rates, were most grievously represented, probably
because misunderstood, when supposed to have for
their object the setting up women in antagonism to
men, whereas the whole design was to make them
fellow-labourers with the other sex. This congress
was happily attended by a far greater body of
friends from the Continent than any former meet-
ing, in consequence of the affiliated associations at-
tending by their representatives. But indepen-
dently of this circumstance they had the presence
of eminent persons from Germany, France, and
Northern Italy, who would see with admiration,
perhaps with envy, a people in possession of rights,
secure against risks both from above and below—
rights which no regal ambition can encroach upon,
no popular delusion betray ; an aristocracy, the bar-
rier against domination of one master, and the more
insupportable tyranny of the mob; a people in-
formed by a press, subject to no control but the law,
and answerable for offences which the law has de-
clared and defined—a people sharing moderately
and safely in the management of their own con-

EPSOM RACES, [XrVRSDAY.
The weather was stormy, the Till empty, the racecourse
gloomy, and the office of the polbemen a sinecure. The
noise and din of Wednesday had )assed into forgetfulness,
the signs of a Derby-day being oily manifested in the wet
drapery of the suttling booths and the still standing sticks
of the Aunt Sally-men, The wiming of Caractacus, and
unexpected defeat of The MarqUs, were, as a matter of
course, the main topics of conversation, and betting on the
Oaks, which had been almost nil al the previous afternoon,
began to take possession of the thoughts of speculators.
On that event betting went on wit some briskness between
the races, of which there were eight on the card, the first
being a walk over, and the fields for the others small. The
Cup produced some little excitement through the meeting
of Asteroid and Fairwater, but the horse, giving her 81b,
made his own running, and won very easily. The T wo-
yr-old Stakes, worth nearly LCO, was won by a filly,
which had been claimed for £5O; and the finest race of the
day occurred in a selling stake. A misty rain came on at
half-past five o'clock, when the sort was brought to a con..
elusion with a sweepstakes, redtced to a match between
a Derby horse and an inferior mare from the great French
stable.

FULL COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before Sir C. Cresswell.)
BAKER V. BAKER AND RICHARDS,
This was the petition of the husband, praying for
a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's
adultery, and there was no appearance on behalf of
the respondent or co-respondent.
Dr. Spinks appeared for the petitioner.
The parties were both in service in 1854, in which
year the marriage took place, and they lived
together until 1860, with the exception of occa-
sional separations, in consequence of their being in
different places. In the latter year the respondent
left her hasband to go to a situation at Birmingham,
where she formed the acquaintance of the co-re-
spondent at his father's house, where she lodged.
An improper intimacy commenced between the re-
spondent and this person, and they had since lived
as man and wife. It appeared that there was cne
child, issue of the marriage, which is still living,
and that the respondent had given birth to a child
since her cohabitation with the co-respondent.

Decree nisi, with costs.
NEED v. NEED AND VYVIAN.

This was a suit instituted by the husband, who
was a captain in the East India Service, for a disso-
lution of marriage, on the ground of his wife's adul-
tery with the co-respondent, to which no appear-
ance was entered.

Dr. Wamby and Mr. Villiers were counsel for the
petitioner.
From the evidence, a portion of which had been
taken at Boulogne by commission, it appeared the
parties were married in India on Oct. 20, 1845, and
resided in that country until the end of 1853, when
the respondent was ordered to England in conse-
quence of the state of her health. She was accompa-
nied by two daughters, the only surviving issue of
the marriage, and took up her residence with the
petitioner's mother, who was the widow of General
Need. In the commencement of 1859 the respondent
went to Boulogne, and applied for admission to the
debtors' prison to see the co-respondent, who was
confined there, and alleged he was her relation.
The governor of the prison refused to admit her until
she obtained an order from the sous prefet, which she
succeeded in doing. She then visited the corespon-
dent daily in his chamber, and was in the habit
of remaining with him until 5 o'clock in the after-
- vt/hl,”, tricitnrc croro ehlifred to leave the priann
In May, 1859, the co-respondent was liberated, and
he and respondent lived openly together as man
and wife at Boulogne and Montreuil. It was also
proved that the petitioner and his wife had been on
very affectionate terms while in India, and he sup-
plied her with money up to the present time,
