THE COMING CONTEST.

The two hostile parties are preparing
for the decisive struggle, which viii settle
the political desinies of Michigan for an
other period, with that doliberation, steadi-
ness and zeal, which is creditabe to both
parties. The leaders are chosen, the
watch.word is given, and on the informa.
ton the people possess, or the opinions
they have formed on the question of" Bank
or no Bank" will the issue terminate. Ii
is singular, but nevertheless true, that the
main political features which Distinguish the
two parties are generally forgotten, and the
fate Of an election turns upon the excite
mcnt produced by some subject Of tempo
rary character. Fortunately, the contest
for the ascendancy Of liberal principles IN
our State Constitution is over, and our ad-
mission into the Union with those principles
fully established and sanctioned by Con.
gress, is completed the star Of Michigan
is firmly seated in that bright constellation
which shines rcspendant in every quarter
of tie globe.

Law relating TO Man and wife.

The case of Mr. Robert Melville, tailor was con-
cluded yesterday in the Court Of Sessions.
II came up in the shape of an appeal from the de-
csion Of the Commissioners Of the Aims House. IL
seems that among other laws relating TO man and
wife among the revised statutes which can be made
applicable persons in this city, there Is one which
ssyics a husband a ssordery person, provided he
does not provide for his wife and family according TO
VS. ncans.
mas therefore who does no; provide for his wife
end fam y 20 The best OF his ability according TO his
means comes under the meaning OF particular
clause IN the law relating TO man and wife, and - IN
the eye of the law dlssrderly person." As a dis
orderly person he can be brought up before the magis
tracs nj the instance ola Commissioner OF the Aims
House; and the magistrate before whom hers brought
can require him 10 give security 10 keep the peace
and be Of good behaviour for the term of IL months
which keeping the peace and being Of good behavior
means that he must properly provide tor ms wife ana
family for the next IL months. III he ialls 10 do TINS
they can commit him 10 prison.
In this way, Melville was complained Of by his
wife-broueht up by the Commissioners OF the 'Alms
House before the magistrates, and committed for
want OF bail. His case was brought Mp before the
Recorder, in the shape of an appeal from the court
below his name having been returned by the Keeper
Of he PRISON at Bellevue (under an act expressly pro-
vded for such persons among the number OF persons
confined there for want of bail.
The case excited considerable interest, and there
were large number of very handsome women IN
court-some supnned as witnesses some were spec
tators; but all interested more or less IN the matter,
as being wives, or being likely to become so in the
course Of their lives.
