CHINA.

Mr. DUNLOP, in moving a resolution on this subject,
said that there N% as reason to believe that all the
papers relating to this subject had not been laid before the
house. The hon. gentleman entered at considerable length
into the subject, and contended that unless the Government
acted with the greatest discretion, and pursued the strictest
neutrality, there was a danger of this county being in-
volved in another war with China.

Mr. BAXTER seconded the motion, and expressed his
conviction that the Government had not been acting with
neutrality. Ho read some correspondence in support of
this statement, from wbich it would appear that the British
and French commanders had openly favoured the imperialist
cause in China. He also cited passages from the work
published by Mr. Alcock. Everybody that paid attention
to the state of China must be aware that the Tartar dynasty
was on the wane, and yet it was that dynasty that this
country was endeavouring to sustain.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before Sir Creswell Cresswell, Judge Ordinary.)
PATES V. PATES.

This was a suit instituted by the wife, Martha Pates,
against her husband, William Pates, for a dissolution of
marriage, on the ground of his adultery and desertion.
Dr. Spinks represented the petitioner ; there was no
appearance on the part of the respondent.
From the evidence adduced it appeared that the parties
were married at Flamstead, Herts, in October, 1838, the
respondent then being in business as a tailor and draper.
They cohabited for some years, and three children were the
issue of the marriuge, of whom one is now alive. In 1844,
the respondent forged a bill upon his brother-in-law, and
consequently all his household goods were sold, and the
petitioner went to live with one of her brothers. The
res?ondent went to Watford in 1P46, under pretence of
seeking work, and remained away for nearly two months,
when the petitioner met her husband in London, and by
mutual agreement they corresponded by letter for a few
months. This, however, soon ceased on the part of the
respondent, and intelligence was convoyed to the petitioner
that ho had gone to Ham with a girl named Ellen Palmer,
by whom he admitted having had four children, and with
whom he at present lives at Fishpool-street, Michael-street,
St. Albans. The petitioner, since the desertion, has lived
in the service of a highly respectable family as housekeeper
for fourteen years and a half. The whole facts were fully
proved, and the Judge Ordinary granted a decree nisi with
costs.
