 The Missouri Legislature, at their last session, appointed committee to revise their code oflaws. The Salt River Journal gives an abstract of parts of the new code, from which we take the following
 An act respecting replevin, is given in all cases of unlawful detention of personal property as well as in cases of unlawful ta- king. This is an innovation of the old law of at least doubtful policy, as 1t may be used for purposes of oppression under cer- tain circumstances. RepleYn will pfoba- ply to great extent supersede the action of detnHe.
 An act concerning divorce and aiimony, makes habitual drunkenness a good cause of divorce, (good;) aboiishes divorce from ted and board; renders extreme cruelty a good cause of divorce; and enables the un- successful party to marry after probation or penance of five years.
 An act respecting nc eseefs, permits the writ to be issued by two justices of the county court.
 An act respecting iejanetiens, permits them to be granted by any two justices of the county court, if there be no judges of q higher court in the eoanty-abolishes the clause that prohibits ininnctions 10 stay pro- eeedlng on judgments rendered by justices of the peace under sixty dollars.
 An act respecting aliens, enables aliens resident ill thjs State 10 hold real estate.
 An act concerning nsolyent debtors. Old law carefully revised-enables the county clerk to administer the oath and give the discharge.
 An act respecting executfons-exempts from execution two beds, q few farming utensils, some furniture, horse, mule, or yoke of oxen, mechanics tools, Be- makes fieri facias the common form of the execution, unless capias be specially ordered by the plaintif-shortens and sim pllfies sherifts' deeds, and creates pirt,sat stay ta1e by provision for delivery bonds.
 An act respecting mortgages, gives gen. eral judgment and execution for the mort gage debt, without commencing a second s9lt-repeals the clause that prohibits the sale of the mortgaged premises for nine months after the commencement of suit, and extends the saiutary remedy by fore- closure to mortgages on personal property, where the debt to be secured exceeds fifty dollars.
 An act to regulate proceedings in iusti- ces' courts. Matters of form are generally dispensed with. Gives to justices exclusive jurisdiction in matters of tort oa all sums under P20 GO, and concurrent jurisdiction with the circuit court on sums between S30 and $50. The justices have exclusive jurisdiction ln matters of contract, not ex- ceedlng S90 GO. On notes and bonds, they have concurrent jurisdiction with the circuit court between S90 60 and Sl50 %.
 A summons IS returnabIe in not less than 10 nor more than 40 days from is date. The justices have jurisdiction n matters of both law and equity.
 An act respecting Dower. Gives to the widow life estate in one third part of the real estate of her husband exclusive of debts and not liable to be sold on execution, gives her child's part of the personal estate absolutely.
 Most ofthe foregoing provisions might with advantage be incorporated in our own laws particularly that concerning doreer-whieh we hope to see our Legislature act upon at the next session.
