Extract fran a letter of The New York cor.
respondent of the Charleston Mercury
A curious repelation was recently made in
the House of Lords, which raised a laugh
against the Bishops. It appears that Bishop
Philpotts has been suddenly seized with a
vehement zeal against the brothels ofthe me-
tropolis, and has framed a bill which he hopes
TO demoIisb the nuisance in a twinklmg.
Whilst this good gentleman was in the midst
Of a brilliant h~aranguc against the vices OF the
city, Lord Fil2hardinge rose and enqlired
how many Of these places belonged to the
Church OF course, the Bishop was highly
incensed at the i~nsinuatlon conveyed by
the question. But his anger was misdirec-
ted for Lord F Immediately pulled a docu-
ment out Of his pockets showing most indubi-
fanly, that more than a hundred Of the Yilest
of these resorts, situated in various districts,
were the property Of the Dean and Chapter Of
Westminster, from which they had long been
accustomed to receive rent, and out OF this
rent defray the various charities and expenses
ofthe Church. This was antastounding disclo-
sure, and and shut up the Bishop. What is
particularly remarkable about the affair isl
this. same Dean and Chapter is the body which
refused to Lord Byrou's remains admission to
Westminster Abbey. The English journals.
especially the Examiner, bear down with
fearful severity upon these offenders.

The 1ocofoco party's utter destitution Of
principles was well illustrated BY the Hon.
John NJ. Clayton in his speech at the late Bal
timore Conventions
at well becomes the party opposed to us to
say that we had no principles, when their prin-
ciples were so few, and those principles SO
doubtful, His opponents reminded him of a
farmer who kept a splendid house, but very
lspoor entertainment. The traveller asked for
oats for his horse. We have none. Then
give me corn we have uone.'-'Then some
hay I'VE keep none said the keeper. The
poor traveller began to think that he should
fare hard for himself as well as his horse. He
ordered a fish supper. eve have none" was
the response. Then give me a chicken. We
have none Then give me some bacon and
eggs.'-'We keep none, was the answer. And
pray what do you keep 2 asked the traveller,
'Oh, sir, we keep tavern And this was about
all the opponents did keep a splendid outside,
and nothing Within"

This case was taken up for trial according
to assignments when it appearing to the Court
that the plaintiff has established by the law
and evidence addueed, that her husband John
Foreman, received one thousand and twenty
dollars as a part of her portion Of the Estate
Of her father, George Garig deceased, preyi-
GUS to the 9TH May 1888, and appropriated
the same to his own use, that the slaves Mel.
ly and her three children Marion and Charity,
and Laury, Lydia, Bonaparte and jackson are
her separate and paraphernal Estate, and that
the affairs of her husband are very much en-
barrassed, and her right, and property thereby
endangered. It is therefore ordered, adjudged
and decIeed, that the plaintiff, Nancy Garig
be separated in property from her husband
John Foreman, and recover the administration
and control of her separate Estate, that she
have a judgement against her said husband,
for the sum Of one thousand and twenty dol
lars, with ieagaI interest from and a mort
gage on his property, reperting back 10 the
7th May 1888 that she be decreed to be the
owner of the slaves herein allowed named,
and that the injunction granted against P. H.
Harbour and the sheriff, restraining the sale of
said slaves be perpetuated at the costs Of said
defendant, and finally, that plaintiffs opposi-
ton be sustained for said sum of one thousand
aud twenty dollars and interest as aforesaid,
and that she be paid said sum with costs Of
suit to be taxed, in preference tothe claim
Of said Harbour, out of the real Estate of said
Foreman seized by the Sheriff and heretofore
offered for sale.
