The English divorce bill, in the shape in
which it finally passed, did not contain the
clause inserted into it in the House of Com
mons, giving the wife the right of divorce in
cases of adultery committed in the copjugal res,
idence. The privilege of keeping mistresses
in their own houses, and of using their wives
as sort of stalking horses to blind the eyes of
the public, and of doing that without the fear
of any legal responsibility for it, is privilege
and luxury of wealth and rank which it seems

illustrative of English ideas and practices in
the matter of the marital relation, that we have
given copious extracts from it in another col

explanations of their reasons for striking out
this clause. They probably proceeded on the
ground of least said soonest mended. The act
as passed, with this exception, and another
amendment of the Lords, taking away the juris.
diction of the Courts of Quarter Sessions in
cases of judicial separation, conforms to the
abstract which we pubised some time since,
and, defective as it is, must be considered as a
decided step in the right direction.

PUSNING.-Prof. Person was once taking a
stroll with young friend, who had named the
church as his future profession. 1t occurred
where, at the extremity of the chesnut-tree
walk of Trinity College, which forms vista,
was to be seen, at q distance, the little church
of Muddingley, almost embosomed in wood
The professor of classic lore observed to his
Youthful companion thus Do you know that
never traverse this college walk of ours, but it
reminds me of Trinity divinity worship?' F"
Con what account" asked the young man.
"I'll tell you," replied Person because it
imparts to me the interrupted rieo Of small
church a long ,oay off,"
Doctors Parr, Homer, and Abthorpe, once
met at old Frank Smiths coffee-house, in Gar
lick Fair Lane, Cambridge. Homer, on the
occasion, was in very grumpy and retiring
mood. At length Parr broke out with " Homer's
odd, SEE" (Odyssey.) Abthorpe quickly fol-
lowed with I" Homer's Ill, add" (lliad) Ho-
mer grumpily observed, "That's adore par"

The late DR.. James Wood when Master of
ST. Johns, was in the habit daily weather per.

before he entered the hall for dinner. One day
he was later than usual in returning, and kept

Rushwortb, on observing the Masters approach
on his favorite Roznante, called out !" Here

The Revolution in st. Domingo.

By an arrival from Turks Island, we have
files of the Royal Standard to the 29th inst,
containing interesting details of the revolution
now in progress in the Dominican republic of
st. Domingo, to remove President Baez and re.
store Santana. The Baez party, being hard
pressed, had formed an alliance with the Em.
peror Soulouque, who had despatched assist
ance to his ally.
The Royal Standard of the 22d inst. says
"By the sloop SeaAower, from Port Plata,
we have advices from that place to the 18th
instant. From correspondent we learn that
the revolution is now drawing rapidly to close.
The whole of the Republic, with the exception
of the city, has declared in favor of the new
Government. They have an army Of eight
thousand men epcamped before the walls of
the city of st. Domingo, and advices, this mo-
ment received from the generals in command,
state that they were in communication with
parties inside the walls, and hourly expected
the inhabitants to declare in their favor. Baez
had retreated to the fortress; guns w,re heard
firing, and it was supposed they wer, fighting
among themselves.

AS Theodore Payne ESQ.,, of San Francisco,
was leaving the steamer to 60 to the barque
Marine, Capt. Herndon gave him his watch,
with the request that he would deliver it to
MRS Herndon, should he fortunately be saved.
Mr.. Payne reached this city yesterday from
Norfolk, with the watch in his possession, and
the request Of the captain will be faithfully
complied with.
1t is said that owing to the violence of the
storm there was considerable suffering among
the passengers on the steamer, from sea-sickness
but as soon as the danger became imminent,
all symptoms of sea-sickness disappeared. This
was produced, probably, by being overpowered

years, no substantial church will be
erected in Kansas without receiving q
portion of its funds from the same
source.
We wish we had the means of know
ing accurately how much money has
left New England on errands of mercy
during the last fifty years. The New
England character, as exhibited in this
light, is certainly very remarkable and
worthy of high admiration. A region
of country SO sterile that the inhabit-
ants caunot raise provisions enough to
feed themselves. Yet, by industry and
frugality, aided by mechanical skill.
they are enabled to outdo any other por-
ton of the civilized world in any desi-
rable enterprise. In manufactures, com.
merce, arts, science, charities, religious
economy, the adapting of means to
ends, and all that tends to elevate man
from the animal, to the intellectual
and moral, viii be found in greater per-
fection in New England than in any
other country of equal natural advan-
tages in the civilized world. New
England ought to be, as she is, the
pride of America in the mind of every
right thinking man.

commend him to the high considera-

duct has done much to soften down
the asperities of the free State party.
When it was reported that cur no.
bic defenders-captured by the o. 8,
troops at Hickory Point, had been sen-
tenced by the infamous Lecompte, to .
long Imprisonment at hard labor, with
"a ball and chain fastened to them, a
general feeling of resistance ran
through the free State ranks and there
was determination to revenge their
wrongs. Had the chains been applied,
in all probability, before this time,
every free State man in the Territory
would have been in arms, demanding,
or violently attempting their release.
But the Executive saved all this,
by remitting that part of their punish
ment, and also by putting over them q

Sejectee Poetry.
From the Iadependsnt Democrat.
Free Kansas Inzaded.

Sad are our hearts, for Freedoms voice
Ia stifed in our Nations halls;
And words Of tyranny and wrong
Are echoed fem those sacred walls;
Round Kansas, once so free and far,
The vilest monster throws his chains;
Oppression rears his standard there.
And freemen bleed on all her plains.
Our souls are panied but kindred there
Feel deeper woes in this dread day,
when the rude blasts Of civil war
psIeutless tear their friends away.
There the fair tree Of Liberty,
fra vithered leaves uatimeiy sheds,
where fall in Freedoms cause the free;
where rest her sons-the noble dead.
It's xithered branches dropping now,
By Wakarusa's gentle wave,
Bear sympathy with hearts that bow
In sorrow DER the new made grave.

pask With the blood of freemen brave,
Slain 10 give place to bondmen's toll
NJ soil 10 curse with sweat Of slaves.
There sorrow, vretchedness and want,
Stare grim on many homes bereft-
Their little store, their hopes, near spent,
ONLY dreary future left
With murderous ruffian bands beset,
Their prospects darken every hour:
W, w;tb brave hearts, these ills they meet
And fall, or stay III usurPing power.

Judge Wakefield spoke briefly in
favor of the movement, and of the
importance of education Iowa had
asked and obtained an appropriation
of 500, 900 acres of the public lands,
for educational purposes, and 26O. 600
acres would be munifcent donation
to the children and future inhabitants
of Kansas.
On the retiring of the commit
tee, discussion ensued on the best
method of appropriating the generous
funds now being raised in the Free
States. Gen. Pomeroy thought that
the endowment and building of Col
lege would not be step broad enough
to answer the purpose of CIV
ing direction to those funds. 1t would
be one step. and another he thought
should be the loaning of money to the
squatters, to enable them to pay for
their claims, with or without interest
and when thus paid the amount thus
loaned was to be turned over to the
State educational fund.
Remarks were made Oy the Rev.
Mr.. Lum, Rev. Mr.. Mute, jr., G. w.
Hutchinson, and other gentl men, in
regard to the general objects of the
meeting, and a proposition was made
to hold another meeting, to consider
the proposal submitted by General
Pomeroy.
Mr.. Army. on behalf of the bust
ness committee, reported the following
resolution. and petition and memorial
to Congress -
