THE UPPHRNAN DIVORCE CAsR-Tne man

Mafy A. Upperman agt James H Upperman,
aPpearedin this paper yesterday, owing to the
failure OF the reporter TO take notice of one of
the papers in the case, seems to have done in
Justice to the complaint liz whose favor the case
was decided. The facts in the case are stated
to be as follows: Some l. years since the com.

Englishman, in Baltimore, and by him lad one

thrse months she came into possession OF a

and sixty residents. An aggregation OF
fifteen hundred inmates will effect far
greater economies. The establishment
is intended solely for the benefit OF women
who work for their support. Ii sutii.
cient number of respectable and well
recommended women cannot be found to
gil it, single men will probably also be
admitted. The Working Women's Home
has proved that women much prefer to
be associated with sprinkliDg OF the
opposite sex, inasmuch as that establish
ment, notwithstanding it's advantages,
has never been filled during its existence
of eighteen months.
This enterprise, if successful, will be
followed by the building of similar
dwelling for young men, on the part OF
Mr.. Stewart, and may lead to the erec.-
ton by other capitalists of immense resi-
dences of the kind for families, where
children could be cared for and properly
supervised in a separate section, and
prove no annoyance to grown people
| A thorough supervision of young people
at home is sadly needed. The present
tenement house system is not only IN
| jurious to the minds and morals OF child
rem, but, by throwing promiscuously to

social ruin to many women. 1t is IN

Mrs. Hills death has been contradicted,

You if can obtain it.
With this letter came copy of the
La Pdtrie, the leading Paris journal,
which contains the following juicy para
graph in relation to the reported drown
ing and probable fact. We translate
without any attempt at establishment:
"The tribunal of Nice has issued
writ against M. G a banker Of that city,
who has disappeared, in company with q
very coquettish lady, leaving him an
enormous Indebtedness, of which the
proportions seemed to partake more OF
fraud than of misfortune.
IN. G., who has given his name to one
Of the most splendid villas of Nice, is
now fugitive. r t
at is without doubt on the occasion
of this event, that the Journal of Nice
publishes this morning an article relative
to rich American lady, who is said to
have been drowned while bathing in the
sea.
"There will be a long search, nc
doubt, without su scess, for this new Sap
pho, who descended to the bottom of the
bay of the angels; and it will be said oi
her, with a tear in the eye, as of Mar
casse, in the "Perle of the Canibierre,
| that she was eaten up by the crabs.
"The fact is there was no drowning
but only a sham drowning, by aid of {
dress left on the shore, whilst her devoted
lover substituted downy carriage will
eight springs for the famous rock of Leu
cafe. At this time, however, the tive
turtle doves must be far away, if they ruI
in carriage with long reins or fly on thu
wings of steam"
So wags the world. We are of th'
opinion that, from the last developments
there will be no serious attempt to op
pose Mr.. Hills suit for divorce, an,
that the depesitions, the want Of whicl
have so long clogged the wheels Of justice
will hardly be forthcoming. AS, however
we have never been able to confidentl.
predict an end to the case that we wer
net directly astounded with a new tab
leau, we will merely leave it without evei
80 much as speculation.

England Refuses to Release HaIpine.

England Refuses TO Release haipi"e'
Washington Dispatch to the Cincinnati Ga
zette.
The State Department has received
two dispatches from Reverdy johnson IN
regard to the course the English Govern
ment intends to pursue regarding tenian
prisoners. II will be remembered that
the case of J. G. Halpine and others was
submitted to President Grant through
Judge Carter of Cincinnati, acting on
behalf of O mass meeting there. The
President at once sent dispatches to
Minister johnson, and directed him to
try to secure the release of the prisoners.
Mr.. johnson, Immediately laid the matter
before the English Government. Alter
considerable delay he received in reply a
communication containing list OF about
twenty prisoners, whom it did not pro-
pose to release under any circumstances.
Among these we're Halpine, Catferty,
Shaw and Burke. Subsequently Mr..
johnson made a second attempt, and re-
ceived second answer, reiterating the
determination of the English Govern
ment to make no more releases OF
Fenians. In closing his dispatch to Mr.
Fish, conveying this last Information
Mr.. johnson expressed the hope that this
action would be reversed at no distant
day, and at least part OF the prisoners be
released. For the present, however, the
State Department sees no ground to ex'
meet that any of the Fenian prisoners
whose cases have been under considera
ton will be set at liberty.

THE ACADEMY OF MUsIc-ANNUAL REPORT OF
THE DIRECTORs.-The annual report for the fiscal
year ending June so. 1852 has just been issued 1t
gives most gratifying exhibit of the affairs OF that
institution During the year the revenue from rent
Of the Academy for public purposes was $751; 1855, and
the aggregate available amount in the treasury Is
s4sS29O6 OF this sum- the amount paid for fixtures,
ground rents, wages, gas, fuel, and other regular
working expenses was $1s, 1886; and $5345 93
paid for scenery, additions, alterations and repairs
Some OF this new scenery is remarkably good, and
maintains the high standard established at the Aca-
deny in the beginning. The house is insured for
S126,500, which is not half its actual value. Two
ground rents the ground occupied by the building
were paid off and extingushed during the year,
amounting to $1I 6220 leaving one ground rent, the
principal OF which is $500, remaining which will be
paid off this year. The lettings of the house during
the year 252. Of which 105 for operatc and
dramatic representations. When the last ground
rent shall have been paid off the institution will be
free from debt AS regards prospects ahead, the
port says:-"The house has been let for two weeks
in September to the Richings troupe, for two weeks
in october to the Parepa-ROsa troupe, and for four
weeks in November to French company for the
production OF grand and light operas, making in all
eight weeks Of opera prior to the first OF December
next and the prospects are favorable for good sup
ply of operatic and dramatic representations during
the winter and spring months.
