Amongst other countries, the example of the United States is often quoted as the best mod- ern instance of a facility in obtaining divorces. It is, however, a complete mistake to suppose that all the States.admit this laxity. In South Carolina, for instance, divorces are almost, if not qegislature alone can dissolve matriages; unknown. In Virginia and Kentucky and in Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama the decree for dissolution must be passed by the assent of two-thirds of each branch of the Legis. lature and founded upon a previous judicial in- vestigation.

It is not surprising that the ecclesiastic couris should, in the Middle Ages, have derived an immense deal of The screw steamer Chiapas, 296 tons re- power from matrimonial cases. The prerogative gistered tonnage, Captain Polson, from Glasgow af sanctioning a divorec, or rather annolling a for Trindad and Demerara, foundered on Satur marriage, having once been appropriated to day morning about seven miles SE of Roche's the Pope, became a source of extraordinary Point, Queenstown, in 30 fathoms of water. The influence in the Holy Sec, and
hackneyed disaster was observed from the watch tower at phrase that the independence of England from the exception of one man, a fireman, named VIII's grand dispute as to his divorce from Rocke's Point. All on board were saved, with
the Papal power was effected chiefly by Henry Barney O'Farrell. The Chiapas was a new Katharine of Aragon. The revolution of the steamer, having been only launched in October Seventeenth century in England might have from the yard of Mesars. George and James been expected to legalize divorce by a temporal Thompson, of Clyde-bank. She was steel plated, tribunal, more especially as Milton had written and was built för Messrs. David Caw arid Co., one of his most effective works in favor of such of Glasgow, for the West Indian trade. This a scheme in 1644. But the measure was never was her first trip. The crew consisted of 36 all adapted, and it was reserved for commission told, and she had, in addition, four passengers appointed in 1850 to advise the removal from viz, W. P. Sloman, of Dumfries; Mr. and Miss the House of Lords of the monopoly of dissolv. Shiel, of Airdrie; and Mr. Francis, of the Northing marriages, and to afford the motive power of Ireland. The Chiapas sailed from Greenock which caused the passing of the act of 1857, on Thursday morning last 8 o'clock. At 3 which introduced the present rather doubtfully am. on Saturday, while about.40 miles SSE of advantageous English system. Roche's Point, a leak was reported in the fore compartment. Both steam and hand pumps were set to work, but all efforts failed to counter- act the flow of the water inte the fare compart. ment. At gam. the captain decided upon bear- ing up for Cork Harbour, and shaped his course accordingly. The weather was bad, frequent squalls and a nasty cross sea being encountered. No effort was spared to relieve the vessel and to bring her into Queenstown, but the unfavourable weather and the gradual settling of the ship's head rendered her position one of increasing peril. The captain acted with great coolness, and from the bridge he continued to give his orders until the ship went down under him. The firemen came on deck, but the carpenter and another of the crew went below and fed the fires until all hope was gone. Land being observed at daylight, flags of distress were put up, but it was nearly to o'clock before assistance came to hand. The pilot boat Werreti, of Cork Harbour, bare down upon the Chiapas off Poor Head, and kept her company. Three of the lifeboats of the steamer had been launched and put in readiness for receiving the crew and passengers, who were then taken off. In the meantime the Chiapas had become unmanageable. She lay with her starboard rails under and her stern completely out of the water. The machinery continued in motion, having been kept going till the last mo-- ment in the hopes of beaching the steamer. A HONGKONG HORTICULTURAL ŠOCIETY, this time there were only on board the captain, the chief engineer, the mate, two other officers, and a fireman named O'Farrell, who was believed be held in the BOTANIC GARDENS, to have lost his reason at the last moment, for TO-DAY and TO-MORROW, the 15th and 16th he refused to leave the vessel. The captain, who still remained on the bridge, directed the officers to save themselves. They jumped into the water and were picked up by the lifeboat. In another moment the steamer gave a plunge and went down headforemost. As the vessel disappeared the propeller was sul revolving, and a great body of steam and smoke came up the funnel. The captain and the unfortunate fireman were taken under water; the former rose, and, clutch- Ing a plank, was rescued by the lifeboat. The captain and those in the second lifeboat were taken on board another pilot cutter, the Plover, which had been attracted to the spot by the con- dition of the steamer. All the survivors were landed at Queenstown. None saved effects. The crew and passengers left Queenstown this morning for Glasgow.

Bylt the then existing system of separation de corps es de biens, which has now been in force again for sixty-six years, was entirely abolished, and divorce was made the sole means of obtaining a separation between husband and wife. The de cree of divorce was also made obtainable upon the most vague and easy grounds, in- cluding mutual consent, so that, practically speaking, the law allowed any one who chose to quit the married state. In the two or three years following the time when the. It is reported that a Legitimist plot has been was passed, an innumerable multitude of

and there were numerous instances of dissolution of marriage effected simply in order to enable the husband to swindle the wife out of her dowry. The Imperial Legislature dealt with the subject in a way which has commanded as much admira.. tion as any other part of the Napoleonic Code. Judicial separations were reintroduced for the benefit of those religious persons who shrank from divorce on conscientious grounds; but the latter proceeding was also recognized, though only upon proper and sufficient grounds, and with effective guarantees against abuse. The act which was passed in 1863, had been pre- ceded by a careful inquiry made by a commis ston; and the report of the commission illus- trates in a striking way the enormous scandals produced by the license of preceding years. So great was the influence of these revelations upon respectable society in France, that even the modified practice permitted by the code was deemed a step too far in the direction of liberty, and when the Bourbons were restored, there was more satisfaction than disappointment, even amongst inany of the revolutionary party, at the total abolition of divorce, which occurred in 1816. Divorce was even in very early times a proč

Farrell, on being arrested, offered to turn in former, and gave a startling history of crime in Ireland. He alleged the existence of an inner circle of assassins, with a complete organisation for the commission of crime. He also states that thres attempts had been made to murder the Right Hon. W. E. Forster, late Chief Secre- tary for Ireland, but they had all proved unsuc- cessful. The prisoner has been remanded for a week in order that further inquiries may be made, and it is hoped these revelations may enable the authorities to put an end to the terra- rism that has so long existed in Ireland.
