The California Advocate reports the case o.
man arrested at San Francisco for bigamy, on
whose examination the following facts were
ELECTED. A certificate was produced that James
Muqueen and Sarah J. Summers were married
in the parish of Streatham, Surry April 10th,
1913. Much corroborative testimony showed
a legal marriage, according to the common and
civil laws of England and the United States.
That a Roman catholic priest, Francis Lebaria,
vicar general, had assumed to annul this mar
riage, and to marry Mr.. Mulqueen to another
woman-a Miss Margaret Bride, on the Goth of
last June: The following is copy of the GER
tiicate of the priest:
"Having attended to all the reasons presen-
ted by Mr.. James Mulqueen, and finding out
that Mrs. Sarah J. Summers, his pretended wife,
was not baptised, neither dispensation has been
given in order to contract legally before the
church, and further, not being married by any
lawfully authorized, we declare that
such marriage never existed, and is null and
void. Therefore both parties remain free as
before. FRANCIS LLEBARIA, vicar general
San Francisco, June Gath, 1854"

FEMALE EDUCATIoN.-The following remarks
of the New York Times, contains suggestions
that are worthy of general consideration among
those who are interested in the sub ect Of female
education:
Why are there no convention Of teachers of
female schools? A large number of accom-
pllshed gentlemen in various sections of the
country are enthusiastically devoted to this de-
partment of education Ladies, too, by scores,
are in the same work. Female education in the
United States is rapidly becoming an interest
Of immense magnitude. 1t has awakened a
of the Cnion-the southern states particularly
has we'll nigh reached the borders of a mania.
But SO far as we have seen, no organized effort
has yet been made to mature the system of fe-
male education. That various errors exist none
can doubt. Popular opinion needs very decided
correction, and teachers themselves might be
much more judcious in their modes of operation.
If there were general interchange among the
friends of female education, much might be
done towards Improving the system. It's waste
tul extravagances, enormous prices, foolish ex-
aggeratlons Of light and useless matters, and
other points might be considered fully
and state of sentiment developed that would
cure them. Looking at female education as one
OF the most attractive and noble movements of
our day. we have often been surprised that
nothing was done by means of associated action
o promote SO good and so great a cause. A |
lew masters OF mistress spirits, Just now, could
effect vast deal of benefit for society, by
aklng hold Of this matter and showing what |
'ould be done towards elevating it to its rightful
place among the best and purest agencies of
modern civilization.

The following, from the Paris correspondence

oebastopo before the winter season sets in
would produce on the policy Of that dishonest
government 1t is difficult to say. It would.
perhaps, compel it to declare itself frankly on
the side OF the allies, but it is better to be nre-
pared tor all emergencies. The notes that have

HUMAN L1FE.-The comparative mortality
of the north (north of the southern line of
Virginia and Kentucky and Of the south, has
just been curiously developed in some tables
published by the Mutual Life Insurance com
Pany of New York. From ten years practical
results, it appears that the mortality among
that class of persons who insure their lives
north of the line named above is less than one
per cent-yiz: about 81 in every 1OO0O
In that section comprised between the SGD
deg. of north latitude "a few miles south of
Savannah and the southern line of Virginia
and Kentucky, the mortality among the same
class of peoples l. II! per cent--or 1174 per-
sons ogt Of every 10000.
Looking to the extreme southern states, or
south of latitude 80 deg. the mortality is near
! y double that Of the northern section-the ac-
tual number out of 10000 as insured being
1856. These calculations are entirely exclusive
of the present year, which has perhaps been
more fatal in the south than any period since
1880. The actuary of the insurance company
reports that-'the disparity in the ratio of the
amount Of claims from death to the amount Of
risk in these three sections Of country, has usu-
ally been even greater than that of the simple
in them. Thus, during the first six
months Of the present fiscal year, (from 1st Feb
TO 1st Aug. the company has had at risk in the
first section 81, 100000, while the amount of
claims in the section has been 1858, 5000, or 1888
out Of every $4,000 assured. In the second
section the amount at risk is s 500, 600, and
he amount of claims during the same time has
oeen 800, 900, Or 1888 out of every $4,000 as
sured. In the third section the amount at risk
S 81, 634,00O, while the amount of claims
Turing the same time is $40, 800, or 1862 out
IF every $40, 900 assured
The New York Express, in commenting al
ength on the facts as here set forth, remarks:
The increased mortality at the south has COM
'elled the company to advance their rates of
premium on lives insured there The usual
ate Of additional premium for persons at the
outh has been heretofore one per cent. This,
is now shown, is not enough to cover the &C
ual risk, the company will therefore advance
pc premium two per cent beyond the ordinary
ate Of persons in northern latitudes.'

A Washington letterto the New York Courier
says that the president will make nomination
for governor of Utah soon after the meeting of
congress- As Bingham Young has declared
his independence of the president of the United
States, it is thought judicious to send his sue
ccssor armed with the additional authority
which may be conferred by the confirmation OF
the senate. The general opinion that the gov
ernorship of Utah is vacant, we learn upon cx-
animation of the law of congress creating the
office, is not well founded. The act makes a
special provision that on the expiration of his
term the governor shall continue in Office until
his successor shall arrive Governor Young,
therefore, will continue to exercise his functions
probably until next spring. There is a gentle
man passing the winter in those Al pine regions
in whom the government reposes the utmost
confidence. This is Northumberland Steptoe,
of the artillery. He has with him arespectable
force, consisting of a detachment of the regu
lar army. His instructions are to look well after
the interest of the general government among
the mountaineers.

THE CogDIT1oN OF THE ALL1Es.-The posi-

The CONDITION OF THE ALL1Es.--The posi-
ton Of the allies in the Crimea is most lndubita-
Bile critical one and calculated to arouse the
fears both of England and France. The de-
fences of sebastopol were declared by compe-
tent engineers, previous to the assault, to be i'm
pregnable, or ifcarried BY assault it would cost
$4,000 men. These predictions seem about to
be verified. Seventeen thousand men have
fallen among the allied troops since they landed
in the Crimea, and the prospects of success are
anything than encouraging. Paris cores
pondent of the Times gives the following I'M
promising condition of the besieged city: "The
town is reported ready for assault, but it is also
known that every fort and every street is I'M
dermined. Allthe stores have been transferred
to the north side Of the harbor, and when the
beseigers shall have driven the remnant of the
besieged foot by foot to the waters edge, they
will plunge into the harbor, and at the same
moment the great mine under the whole city
and its forts will be sprung reducing sebastopol
instantaneous to mass of ruins.
This is the juncture at which it is expected
that Menschikoff, with his entire force, will fall
upon the allied army.
