DIAMOND CARCEL LAMP ! NEW
LIGHT ! !—The Diamond Cartel Light is the best Light in
the World. The Carcel Lamp is used in all the Palaces in Europe.
It burns oil, but is free from all imperfections of ordinary oil lamps ;
burns from sunset till morning without attention. No cleaning
required for years. Is so simple, it cannot be mismanaged. It
never will be outdone. The Diamond Camel Lamp is perfection in
light. The public will have none ether. Designs the most chaste
and elaborate to suit every taste.—To be had only, and seen daily,

THE LIGHTS for FUTURE DAYS.
All can now be pleased, whatever is desired in Light. The
PEARL CANDLE LAMP is the perfection of Candle Lights, and
must succeed ; its simplicity myriads will admire. To sell the ordi-
nary Candle La►aps is now impossible—the public have long enough
been pestered with such rubbish.

The DIAMOND CARCEL OIL LAMP is the best oil light in the
world. The Carcel Lamp is used in all the Palaces in Europe; this
is sufficient guarantee for all—it never will be out-done.

The STARLIGHT NIGHT LIGHT is a beautiful little light to
illumine the bedchamber. All other night lights will be used no
more; its economy and simplicity all will admire, for what can be
desired more than perfection ? To what concluaion can we come?
Certain, henceforward the only lights will be—the Sun, tke mighty
gem of Heaven by day ; the Pearl and Diamond Lights at evening ;
and the Star at night, to illumine the British territory.
These splendid Lights burning continually at CLARK'S, the
immense LAMP DEPOT, 447, West Strand, ten doors from Low-

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ARCHES' COURT, March 2.
(Before Sir H. JENNER FUST.)
THE COUNTESS DYSART V. EARL DYSART.
This was an appeal from a decision of the • Consistorial
Court of London in a suit for the restitution of conjugal
rights, brought by the Earl Dysart against the Countess
Dysart, in which the Countess had been directed to return to
cohabitation.
Sir H. JENNER FUST proceeded to• day to deliver the judg-
ment of the Court. It appeared that the marriage took place
in 1819, and during a period of eighteen years the parties bad
not lived together for periods of more than three years, at
various intervals. With whom was the fault? On the
pal t of the Countess it nas alleged that she could not live
with her husband but at the hazard of her life; and on
his part it was urged that the wife should comform to the
habits of her husband. The difficulty in this case, as in
others, was, the application of the general law. In " Evans
and Evans," Ist Haggard, it was said that if reasonable
apprehension existed of danger of life or limb, there was
ground for a divorce. In " Oliver v. Oliver," it was held
that everything, in legal construction, was sufficient which
tended to bodily harm. Whatever might have been the
origin of the quarrel, there was enough to satisfy the Court
that wilful violence was used upon the wife, from which
she had an undoubted right to be protected. In " Harris
v. Harris" the Court said that there must be something which
rendered cohabitation unsafe, or likely to be attended with
irjury to the party. By these principles the Court must be
governed in the application of the law to this particular case.
If there had been actual cruelty er reasonable apprehension
from the conduct of the party, that was sufficient to entitle
the other party to the protection of the Court from a recur-
rence of the violence or that conduct which tended to pro-
duce bodily injury, and it was not necessary that the wife's
conduct should be altogether free from blame. What was
the state and condition of these parties at the time of
the marriage? The Earl and Countess were first cousins,
being the children of two sisters. The father of the Earl
was possessed of large estates, which were entailed on
the son, the present Earl, who, during his father's life,
was entirely dependent upon him. The marriage was
directly contrary to the express wishes and opinions of the
father, and he refused to make any allowance. His son in
consectue.nce purchased an annuity for 3,000/. during the
joint, levee of himself and his father, and secured an annuity
of 1,0001. to his wife should she survive him; The mat
deration was 110,000/. This income was amply sufficient to
enable him to live in comfort and respectability. It had
been said that the habits and tastes of Lord Dysart were
known to his wife before marriage to have been peculiar
and eccentric, and that she ought to have made up her
iniqcU to conform to his wishes. But there was no
reason to suppose that those habits were to be
carried to such an extent as to deprive her of the
comforts of life. She could not have supposed that that
degree of economy would have been practised which would
deprive her of that to which she had been accustomed.
There was no reason to believe that she was anxious for
more than was suitable to the fortune of her husband,
or that she was inclined to indulge in what had been called
the pleasures of a London life. There was no reason to
believe that the marriage was not one of mutual affec-
tion ; and there was nothing to reflect on the conduct
of the wife in expecting that she should be maintained
in decency and comfort, according to his income. It was
on the birth of a son that the first circumstance oc-
curred which appeared to have given offence to the Earl.
He then acted on the impression that the conduct
of his wife showed indifference towards him. After
that he was in the constant habit of swearing at and
abusing her. She was deprived of all authority in the
house; he was keeper of the stores; he gave them out as
be thought proper, and directed what supplies were to be
furnished to his wife of articles of necessary consumption.
She had no fish, no poultry, and a joint of meat was only oc-
casionally dressed. He allowed her but one candle a night.
There was scarcely any fire in the drawing-room, and the
house and furniture were unfit for a lady. One witness said
she had known the Countess tremble at the sound of his feet
on the stairs. V. as there not, then, that degree of discomfit
which might have rendered it extremely disagreeable
for Lady Dysart to have cohabited under such circumstances?
Not that she was justified in leaving the house, but there
was grievous ground of complaint. It might have been
productive of inconvenience, it might have injured her
feelings, and to a certain degree affected her health ;
but still this was all to be borne. There were
other circumstances, however, of a more serious cha-
racter. His Lordship was heard abusing Lady Dysart, and
on the door being opened she was found in a fainting fit, and
said she had received a kick from her husband. On another
occasion she was heard screaming out murder, and on another
he was seen pushing her out of the dressing-room. This was
the history of the parties up to 1827. From 1827 to 1834,
there was no residence together. In 1834 there was cohabi-
tation for a few days in Hyde Park-gardens. In 1836 she
returned to the residence of her husband, and the same
general system of degradation and insult was charged to have
been practised towards her. On the 23d January there was
no doubt there was an act of legal violence. Upon the whole,
therefore, notwithstanding the respect to which the opinion
of the Jude of the Court below was entitled, and which had
induced him to give longer time to the consideration of this
case, he must reverse the sentence of the Court below, and
pronounce for the separation of the parties.

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.
THE CHANCELLORSHIP.

CAMBRIDGX, MARCH 2.—This day a Congregation!was
held, at eleven o'clock, for the purpose of reading to the
Senate the following letter written to his Royal Highness the
Prince Albert by the public orator, in the name of the
Senate,!announcing his Royal Highness's election into the
office of Chancellor of the University, of which the following
is a copy :
MIMEO POTENTISSIMOQUE PRINCIPI ALBERTO,
CANCELLARIO ABADEMLE DESIGNATO,
PROCANCELLARIUS, SRNATUSQUE CANTABRIGIUNSIS,
S. D.

Vi rum in hac nostra Republica' summo perfunctum munere,
virum plane dignurn, cui talis obtingeret magistratus, virum
cujus administratio requitate, constantid, et fide singulari
exit-I,de ornate est, mgrs debilitatum valetudine mors acerba
sustulit. Quem paulo ante in bac curio., cum maximo om-
nium consensu, lutist° felicique mine inauguratum Iteta
conspexit, annum fere septhmuu ab honoris accessione agen-
tem, suis luctuosum;grave nobis, nunc mortuum deflet civitas.
Dcflet lugetque mature ereptum legum integerrimum custo-
dem,juris sui vindicem constant issimum, libertatis ; acerrimum
defensorum, quern ut plus nimio desideremus, minus veren-
dum est, quam ut, pro co ac debemus, justitiam ejus animique
lenitatem satis grata prosequamur memoria. At enim ab
inani desiderio et miscricordia nos statim revocabat legibus
institutisque nostris obtemperatio per qua, a magistratus in-
tercapedine diuturniore prrecautum est, quibusque in futu-
rum Reipublicre commodum potius providere prxscriptum
est, quam de honorum interitu frustra dolere et conqueri.
Enimvero quassata3 civitati promptos jubebant succurrere,
novas vives illicio sufficere, novum robur suppeditare, alia de-
nique dignitatis ornamenta et prtesidia stabilitatis adsciscere,
potuisquam ea, gum perierant, sublata ex oculus qurerere. Cum
autem id ageret academia, quo tandem potent confugere nisi
ad tuam clementiam et gratiam singularem, Princepsmaxime,
quo, nisi ad tuam auctoritatem summan spectatissimam-
que, miramque erga nosmet benevolentiam, tam insigni
indieio nuper exploratum ? Quid enim magis optabile, quid
tam magnopere expetendum erat, quam ut illustrem istum
splendorem sibi posset adjungere, qui tuis auspiciis guber-
natas omni acceseurus est civitati? Itaque vulneribus
remedium qurercuti tua prresentissima occurrebat aanatio,
quip perculsa et prostrata ,jacebant excitare et instaurare to

gratiam, fore ut non modo jacenteat civitatem extollere, sed
etiam amplificare ejus pristinam dignitatem liceat, facile
persuasum est. Quid ? quod a Regibus olim fundata, Re-
gum, uti par erat, patrocinium petebat Academia. Princi-
pum, benevolentiii stabilitatem. Principis numen et auxilium
supplex audebat implorate. Quam olim nascentem placido
lumine viderat Regina, et vix desperandum erat, talem
quoque honorum adjutorem adscisci posse, talem fortune-
rum suarum defensorem et custodem, qualem te quoque,
Princeps clementissime, futurum ease penitus confidit Civitas.
His igitur literis tihi significandum esse Senatus cen-
suit, ad amplissimum munus et officium te libentissime
suffragiis suis elegisse. Quam rerum administrationem ut
clementer velis suscipere, omni studio et veneratione orat
atque obsecrat Academia. Liceat nobis supplicare ut Rem-
publicam nostram maxima auctoritate tua confirmes. ut
hanc sedem antiquam Philosophise dignitate tua exornes,
literis et humanitate illustrem reddas, ut jura defendas, ut
libertatem tuearis, et denique in nosmet imperium teneas,
quod paci et tranquillitati maximo conducat, quod religioni
et pietati erga Deum prvesertim faveat, quod huic uni magic
omnibus inserviat, in quo salus preecipue nititur Acidemire,
pnesidio videlicet Ecclesim.

A grace was then offered to the Senate and passed for
affixing the seal and presenting the letter to his Royal
Highness.
Immediately after the Congregation the Vice-Chancellor
and the Senior Esquire Bedell proceeded to London and re-
paired straightway to Buckingham Palace to lay the result
before his Royal Highness. They were honoured by an in-
terview with the Prince at about half-past five o'clock, at
which his Royal Highness expressed himself in the warmest
terms of satisfaction at the distinguished honour conferred
upon him by the University of Cambridge, and the sincere
gratification he felt in accepting it His Royal Highness
conversed with the deputation on the subject of English uni-
versity discipline, and evinced considerable knowledge of the
Oxford and Cambridge systems.
_ _ _

The important ceremony of the inauguration of the new
Chancellor is expected to take place on Thursday, the 18th
inst.; the installation, and the usual festivities connected
therewith, at the July commencement.
