We print, this morning, some interesting intelll-
gence from Mexico received at Ne~-Orleans yes
,erdsy. The confusion of that unhappy country is
by no means cleared away, but there are some
symptoms Of promise. The Liberals have gained
possession of the Pacific ports, and the Church
party are taking of an enormous loan. This seems
TO argue operation in their affairs which may
we'll encourage those who still hope for better
future for Mexico. On the same party there is also
talk Of cecting Miramon and reinstating ZnOaga in
his place We trust, however, soon 10 hear that
this faction has been definitely put down, and
tranquility finally restored to the country.

a FRAUD IN FRANCE.

A case has recently occurred in Paris very SINH
lar to one which lately occupied the public atten-
lion here while the difference of result in the two
countries is not 80 cieditabe to us could be de-
sired 1t appears that a certain Vicomte dc
Beaumont de Massey, pers"n Of position and In
huental connections, was employed by company
witch had obtained patent for the manufacture
of sspeter to negotiate sale OF their patent to
the Government. He pretended that to effect this
object it was necessary 10 bride the public function
aries of the War Department. and under that pre-
tense obtained eight thousand dollars from the
company, " hieh money be put into bis own pocket.
The French style of dealing with the case Was to
put the vicomte on trial for swinilug of which
crime he was found guilty and sentenced to two
years Imprisonment two years Introduction OF civil
rights. and fine Of SIX hundred dollars.
In our American case. a much larger sum OF
money was obtained from a manufacturing CON-
pany TO b. employed in the bribery, not If the
fuuctouaries of an Executive department, but IN
the still more serious matter of bribing members of
the Legislature, and efectng By that corrupt
means change in the Laws Of the country. The
agent in this operation, being brought up before
Committee Of the House Of Representatives, con-
temptuousy refused to answer their inquiry what
be had done with the money, yet answered sum

DIVORCE IN ENGLAND.

Returns Of the proceedings of the ntwiy-cohsl'
iuted English Court for the trial of divorce and
matrimonial cases, mnde to the House OF Lords on
the motion OF Lord BrOugham. threaten to renew
the controversy by which the establishment OF the
existing Court was preceded and attended, rs to
the e1pediepcy Of allowing divorce at all. and
more especially on the petition of the woman.
This return embraces period of fourteen
month"; aud shOwsh total Oftwo hundred and eighty
eight petitions for dissolution Of marriage. Con-
trary TO the original anticipation. there does not
seen, to have been any special rush at the opening
,f the Court for the benefits Of the act. The Sp-
plications are pretty equally distributed over the
whole period, and would seem to Indicate nm
annual average Of some two hundred and MY
applications instead of some thirty. the number
suggested ss probable by some OF the promoters
Of the bill However the period covered Ia too
short to Justify any very pereDptory CONCLUSION.
On the other hand the applications for Judicial sep
araiiop. which come almost exclusively from wives,
aud oi which the object for tn. most part is to
protect their earnings or property against the hui
bsnd and which have amounted in the whole to
one hundred aud five, have, of late, decidedly d.

OF the petitions for dissolution Of marriage Just
about halt acre undefendei. The number tried
hns been forty three, in six Of which cases the di-
ynrre was refused, and in the mte's granted.
There remained an accumulation OF hundred
aud thirty -four cases, which would seem to show
that IN addition to the Judi nal force of the Court
will speedily become necessary.
A good deal Of scandal is occssioued by the mum
Der of undefrndrd cares. 1t is suggested that In
usny Of these eases there is collision between the
PARTIES II is indeed made the duty IF the Cont

not Obtain divorce upon the ground Of adultery
merely but must charge further excessive cruelty.
