It cannot be pleaded that there is any lack of rerms in the Chinese language by which to designate the several distinctions of olare, nula and female, by which society is marked; and if characters are needed for use phonetically. there is a mom abundant repertory of wards haring folialune meanings than can be found in a Chinens lexicon. How say, therefore, for every one to see to it that his or her none and designation are represented to the mative eye and ear by synonyms that-carry with the proper and agreeable associations? This proposition comes with the more weight when it is remembered that with the Chinese themselves the names in the all-important con- sideration.

Plaintiff claimed $10,000 damages for the sednotion of his wife by defendant, and at the trial there was no attempt to pallate de fundaat's conduct, but it was alledged M'Craith had caused his wifa to ran away in consequence of tyranical conduct, Counsel now aid that the damages awarded would swallow up all defendant's properly, and render him unable to support Mr. M'Orsibh, who was now dependeat on bim. The Chief Justion said he would open the judge who tried the case.

Mr. J. Slagg, jun, had sen it remarked in the patio journals that Manabester was utterly wrong on the French Treaty question," or that Manoboater might curso Cobden and die; and that, if the Treaty was wrong to-day, it must love bean so when Mr. Cobden started it. He could show from. Mr. Cobden's sayings and writings that the position of Manobester ou the question had been thoroughly logical. He was in Paris in 1860, and had a lively re collection of the impression on the minds of Mr. Cobden und others engaged in the Treaty, to the effect that the duties then fized were to l be gradually lowered. Ho bad board both Mr. Globden and M. Ronbor state it repeatedly, M. Rouher suid, "This must not be considered as the tariff on cotton' goods upon which we are going to trade for the next to yours. It is Dy intention and the intention of my Gavarz- ment to lower these duties graduaily, so that by the end of the torm of ten years we aball have between France and England complete free trade." It was upon this basis that Mr. Oubiles set to work. (Hear.)
