LOOKING TWO WAYS At QNcg.-The
following expcdient has been adopted in
Europe for enabling the engine man on
locomotive to obtain prompt notice OF
any accden, which may | ciall the train
behind HIM. We copy from the Paris
correspondence Of the New York Com
mercidi Adpertisrr.
The practice Of Placing looking
glass before the engineers IN n locomo-
tive, inclined in such way as to s,e
the whole train behind him, without
turning, is gradually becoming universal
on the continent. Many roads in France
have adopted the ban, the greater part
of those in Austria have tried il success
fully, and the locomotives on the lins
from Brussels to Antwerp have been
Just fitted with the Lccessary rrneciors.
Should car or any portion Of the train
become detached, should an axle break,
or in short any accident happen, tho
engineer secs il at once. lf our dircc-
tore AT home would consent 10 make the
experiment upon their engines am
sure we should hear less frequently of
loss OF lie and limb. The plan is GER
,aIuly worth the trial.

ETHERlZAT ON OF A LION "A most
novel operation was performed at South
Boston yesterday afternoon. Francis
Alger, Esq, has in his possession at his
residence in South Boston, ii lion about
six months Old Of the species known as
the American Lion and brought short
time since from South America. This
llon as it has increased in size, has
grown quite ferocious, and it was deem
ed advisable TO remove his claws, which
were very sharp, to prevent him from
doing injury TO those who might ap.
proach his cage. To accomplish this
end, DR.. Charles Il. Jackson yesterday
administered ether TO him, At 4 ST he
was quite cross and snappish, and some
difficulty was experienced IN getting the
sponge to his nose A last, however, a
soothing impression was made, and after
pound and halt had been ministertd,
he became perfectly dociIe, and slept
quietly for twenty minutes In the mean
time his claws were removed with
pair Of sharp pincers, and when his IL
Onshp awoke from his trance he found
himself deprived of his most formidable
weapons of defence. The lion soon re.
covered lis wonted agility, and this
morning was as lively as ever. 1t is
probable that it will be necessary 10 cut
of his teeth before he will be cons idcr
ed Il safe pc, -Irarelicr Of Ttnsfoy.

SECOND MARRIAGES Important De.
ciSioH Judge Allison, OF the Court OF
Common Pleas, on Saturday last deli
Icd the opinion OF the Court in The
case of Harrison vs.. Harrison. which
rules. and We think very properly, an
important question IN the law OF divorce.
Mrs. Harrison was formerly married to
u man named ilildcbraHdt, who had
Il other wife living at Baltimore. On
discovering tlir prior marriagc, she pro-
secuted IIlldchrandt for bigamy upon
which charge he vas convicted, by his
own confession, and duly sentenced by
the Court. The act under which he was
convicted OF blgamy, declares the
second marriage null and void" Her
husband, in this case, applied iog di-
vorcc on the ground of this former
marriage with lli!debrandt, and con-
tended that the prior marriage with
HIldebrandt should have been annulIed
by the Court oi Common Pleas, in a
libel for divorce, before the lady was at
liberty to marry again. The Court
however, decided that either II convlc-
ton for bigamy, or Il decree IN Il libel
Tor divorce, fully annulIed Tive second
marriage, and that as llildcbrandt was
duly convicted, his marriage with the
present respondent was thereby dcclar-
ed null ana void, and she was fully At
liberty to enter in'o the marriage con-
tract with Mr.. Harrison, the present
IiholIan, or plaintiff. The prayer of MIR.
Harrison WAS therefore refused, and his
marriage with the respondent decided
to be as valid as If she had never been
married before - PM LeIger.

The sith Annual Commencement OF
the University was celebrated on

Divines lileraI and others attended the
exercises ip the First Paptist Church.
There were sixteen orations. all Of con
siderable merit. After the proceeding,
the corporation, visitors, and students
dined in large tent AT the hack OF the
University. The usual speeches were
made and great good humour and har-
mony prevailed. In the course Of the
afternoon allusion was made to literary
gentlemen from olher lands who were
present Mr.. John Ross Dix, author OF
many popular orks OH both sides oi
the Atlantic, was called on to res

luding 10 American Literature said,
there was not well appointed Library
IN England where the works of Long
fellow, Bryant, Holmes and Prescott
might not be found, side by side with
Wordsworth, Byron, Hood and Macau-

works of Americans were nothighly .csii-
