Dee DIVORCE ACT.—The first application in Leech
under the provisions of this Act came before the borough
magi, trates yesterday (Tuesday), when a respectable look-
ing woman, named Mary Wilcock, appeared for probes•
lion of property under the 21st section. She stated that
lived at 24, Park Cross-s'reet, and that on the 16th
f February, 1836, she was married to George Wilccok,
who des-erted her without just cause on the 13th March,
1848, since which time they had been separated. During
the separation she had acquired property by her own
earnings, consisting of 11 houses, furniture, money, and
woollen waste, and she applied to the court for its prc•
tection from her husband and his creditors. The hus•
band was not present, and the order was made.
THEORY AND PRACTICE OF MODERN AGRICULTURE.
—This is a perfect bijou to the farmers. As Lord St.
Leonards, in his "Hand Book," makes the driest subject
agreeable, so Mr. Corrigan makes rotatory crops,
manures, &c., as agreeable as old Horace himself could.
Mr. Corrigan enjoys the confidence of Ireland's real
patriots—Waterford, Clancarty, Leinter—and he an-
n)unces a pleasing fact with fervent paliotitioa. "Inti•
inately identified as we are Aith the agriculture of this
c ,untry, we have witnessed with satisfaction the rapid
erogrese it has made within the last few years. Mary
causes have tended to promote this gratifying result ;
we have not specs now to refer to any of these, but the
fact is universally acknowledged that Irish agriculture:
is rapidly and steadily progressing. To aid in furthering
this good work is our object ; and if this treatise be
instrumental in its promotion, our heart's desire wiabe.-
gratified and our labours amply compensated.",
