THAMES.

APPLICATION FOR A DIVORCE.—Mrs. Carlin, a very
respectable woman, the wife of Thomas Carlin, a soldier,
who served in the Crimean war, and who has been re-
manded on a charge of bigamy, applied to Mr. Yardley for
I divorce.
•

Mr. Yardley—My good woman I have no power to gran

a divorce.

Mrs. Carlin—l am Carlin's first wife, and ho abandoned
me several years ago, and married another woman, whom
he has ill-used.

The second wife, an equally respectable woman, who ap-
peared to be much careworn, here stepped forward.
Mr. 'Y ardley addressed the first wife, and said she must
apply to the Divorce Court if she wished to annul her mar-
riage with Carlin. He would advise her not to take any
proceedings against her husband until after the trial. If
her husband was found guilty, there was no doubt the
Divorce Court would annul the bonds of matrimony.

Mrs. Carlin thanked the magistrate, and took a seat
alongside the second wife, and both were crying and con-
doling with each other for some time, until Carlin was
brought up on remand and charged with intermarrying
with his second wife, whilst his first wife was living. It

appeared that the prisoner had abandoned his first wife (to
whom he was married at Basford, Nottinghamshire), for se-
veral years before he married his second wife at the parish
church of St. George, Bloomsbury, in 1853. The ill. usage
,of his second wife, and his being confined to barracks in
the Tower, led to the detection of Carlin's first marriage.
Evidence of both marriages was given, and the prisoner
was committed for trial.
DUTCH OPINION OF ENGLAND.—A respectable looking
Dutchman, wearing spectacles, who gave the name of
Florentine Mictlingen, was brought before Mr. Yardley,
charged with smuggling 2 lbs. 6 ounces of foreign manu-
factured tobacco.
Mr. William Taylor, tide surveyor, said he stopped the
prisoner, who was leaving the Leo, a Rotterdam steamer,
at the St. Katherine Wharf, and found upon him 2 lbs. and
6 ounces of tobacco and cigars.
The prisoner said he was told in Holland by his country-
men that England was a free and enlightened country, and
that he could take anything on shore without interruption.

Mr. Yardley—lt is a free country, but people are not free
to import goods without payment of the duty. We have to
pay a large amount of taxation for our freedom.
The prisoner said he was ignorant of the law.

Mr. Yardley would advise the prisoner to become ac-
quainted with our law. If he did not ho would lose his
freedom. lie fined the prisoner 305., which he paid.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

About an average supply of English wheat—the prin-
cipal
portion being of the present year's growth, and in fair
condition, was on offer here to-day. All kinds met a dull
inquiry, and prices were 2s per qr. lower than last week.
In foreign wheat—the show of which was extensive—
very little business was passing, on former terms.
Floating cargoes of grain were a slow inquiry.
The few samples of barley on offer realised full prices, but
the demand was by no means active.
Most kinds of malt changed hands at Monday's prices.
Good sound oats supported previous rates ; but low and
heated samples ruled heavy, at 6d per qr. less money.
Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value.
