It is very unfortunate that a lpopholo to hang a doubt upon wH loft in the Oregon boundary treaty ratifled'durtjfetho tion of Mr. Foik. Wa hadoitperienM enough to teach us that on all territorial questions British would u cayil on the ninth part of a hair.” TYo’had had protracted dis cussions and much angry fabling in regard to the Northeastern boundary,” which remained unsettled from the time o£ the treaty of 1788 until 1842, the dispute in-thiij ease being ofo character. Somewhat similar to that whioh has lately arisen—as it.rclated to. tho . manner in which, under the, desefiption of the boundary given in th& treaty ofl7BB, tho actual line should bo surveyed and ran. Border collisions hod aW arisen' and detachments of troops had heeii tlu;own into the vicinity of the disputed district, in Maine and the British provinces, by the antagonistic claimants, The question was kept,open for flfty-hino years, and it had been dikcusftd with moro or less acrimony for twentyyears. The Northwestern Boundary had also long Been a dehate&bie question, and efforts to finally atyust it had heeii unsuccessfully made in 1818, i 824, 1828, 1827, 1843, and 1844. ITe, thereforo,' had every reason to expect that if, in the supposed final settlement made in 1846, the "rights df either nation should not he dofined with the greatest possible ac curacy and .nicety, additional disputes would ariso. Such fears havo been realised. Al though the line has not yet heeii all surveyed and run, the’ ComthissWners engaged in that task have pnt Conflicting interpretations on an important portion of the article of the treaty which describes the boundary, and widely dif ferent interpretations of its meaning are made by the two ■ Governments. The treaty was formed at Washington oh the 15th day of Juno, 1846, and is signed by James Bcohasan, then Secretary or State, and Kicuabd Paxexiiam, the British Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States. Its first article is as follows; , “ Art. l.From. ths point on tho forty-ninth par allel of north latitude, where the, boundary laid down in existing ’troatieo and conventions be tween Great Britain and the' United States termi nates, the line of boundary between the territo ries of her Britannto Majesty, and thoso of tho United States, shall be continued westward, along the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude, to the middle of the channel tohich’separates' the con tinent from Vancouver’s Island , and thrnes southerly , through tho middle of the said chan‘ net, and o f Fuca’s Straits, to the Pacific Ocean; provided, however, that the navigation of the said ohannel and straits, south of tho ibrty. ninth pa rallel of north latitude, fetUSins freo and open to both parties-” It is now Welt, known that between Van couver’s Island and the continent there arc at least two, and according to some accounts three channels, instead of one, audit is unfortu nate that when tho article quoted above was written, that thet was not known, or if known, that the particular channel which Was to form the boundary of two gfcat land-loving nations was not specifically stated; for upon that ques tion hinges the title—now warmly contested — to the island of San Jnan, and several smaller islands. Mr. Buchasas, no doubt, ontortaihs a dis tinct recollection of the interpretation which was placed Upon tho treaty at the timo it was framed by Mr. Pakexiiam and himself -=-and we doubt very much whether it over entered into the brain of any Sonator who ra tified it, that any land south of Vancouver’s Island was to bo surrendered to Groat Britain i bntthe troth is, that while tho treaty states tho boundary line is to be “tho Widdlo oi tho channel” Which « Separates the continent from Vancouver’s Island,” that language is rendered obscure, and to some extent indefinite, by the fact that several channels exist. The error is a singular one, and is a remarkable instance of the conflicting interpretations which may bo given to what appear to bo clearly stated treaties. The Strong points of tho American case are—first, that the channel whichlies near est to Vancouver’s Island is tho deopest and best ono, and should thereforo ho considered tho main channel; and, second, tho probable inten tion pfj tbo framors of the treaty to deviate from tho. 49th parallel solely for the purpose of allowing Great Britain ,to retain undivided possession of Vancouvor’a Island. The occupancy of San Juan by American troops, and tho threatened resistance by Bri tish forces, have added to the difficulties of settling this question by arousing considerable A*, n lt»q 1.1 .iLfllaiii J It., States, and neither Government will be dis posed to abate one jot of its pretensions. The dangers of a collision have been diminished by despatching tho war-worn veteran, General Scott, to Oregon; but the attention whioh the employment of tho Gommarider-in-Chief of oUr army on this mission will' attract throughout the world, will probably add, on tho other hand, to the tenacity with which England will cling to her claim to territory to which wo have clearly shown that wo attach much im portance.; , The Two Commanders-in-Chief. One of the New Tork papers says that the Duke of Cambbiikie, Queen Victoma’s cou sin, and .Commandcr-ia-Chief of the British Army, was about being sent to the Island of San Juan, wliithor General Scott is bound, with a view of personally settling the Ameri can and'Britlsh dispute there in an amicable manner, if possible. *Wo know not on what authority, this Was stated, but The London Times, of August 29th, officially announces that tho Duke had left England «for a few weeks’ tonr in Germany.” This does not look as if ho was to be sent across tho Atlantic. Lobs of the IT* S# tiieamer Falton. The U, S, steamer Fulton, which has just been lost on the Florida coast, in the gale of tho 16 th inst., was one of our oldest men-of-war. She was frequently designated as “ Fulton the Third.” The first steam man-of-war that was built by our Government bore the name of the noble Fulton, and her construction was-under the superinten dent)® of Robert Fulton. While thus superintend ing this enterpriso, in 18X4, he caught cold, from the effeoto of whioh he died, before the completion of. the vessel.' She was rather a floating battery than a sea steamer, and on trial was found unfit for sea. • This vessel wound up her career in 1828, by the explosion of her powder magazine, whllo lying at New York, whero she was built. - Her snooessor, “ Falton the Second,” was built In 1837, and she, too, was found almost as unfit for soMervlce as her namesake. In 1851 tills vessel was altered considerably, and a new and superior engine and Iwilsn placed in her, and since then she has made a very efficient man-of-war. She bad a fine, large, direct-aoting, fnolined engine, whioh has boon worked up to eight hundred horse power, and gave her a speed of over twenty knots per hoar. - , There, is no vessel in the navy that has done more active bruising during tho last eight years than the' Falcon, although, in the opinion of probably one half of the officers who have sailed in her, she was considered upseaworthy. The objections were to her model, and to the want of strength, oaused by the,dcoay of her timbers. On this account many, doubtless, will rejoice at her loss, when they are assured that no lives havo boon saeriflcod, Her present boilers wero but two years old, and were of the most approved construction. Last May the Fulton returned from the. Para* guay s expedition, having been the flag-ship on the river La Plata. She has just been overhauled and refitted at considerable expense at the Gosport navy-yard, from.whenoe she sailed, with new offi cers and crew, on the 55th of last month, for a Cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. Bho is registered os a third-class side-wheel steomor, and was of 698 ions burden. ' Her present armament was eight thirty-two pounders. On her expedition to Para guay she was fitted to carry four nine-inch guns and one eleven-inob gun, and was manned by 107 officers and men., In case of action at that time, sbe would have been pVobably by for tho most offi cientvessel of tho squadron. Efficient steamers of this size are of great service in times of ponce, and would!)© indispensable in war. It is to be hoped that Congress will rffclace her by building many more. , List of officers; Commander, G. G, Williamson; lieutenant, Egbert Thompson; master, Wm. E. Evans; purser, C. C.

You saw her thoughts in her face, varying ojicr Bailor passed from casket to casket, ah,d ripdng into JOy, which she still would not let him sc,the whole of, when ho turned to her, lord of her Ind, fortune, heart.

As tho play was made to ohd witilho exit of at tho ctoso of whnt is commoly, but incorrectly called “tho trial scene,”for tore is no trial, Mrs. Brew's further noting was e|ibd also. ilore let us add that Mr. Dolman’s Bastnia (whioh tho porformor variously pronounced Bas sanio and Bassaynio, the first, whioh is corcot, being his own,) was a very satisfactory porlrm anoo. Gratiano , by Mr. Stoddart, had tho nerit* at least, of being quiet and Inoffonslve—Mr. Wry makes it boistßrAuß and absurd—and that MU& Emma Taylor, as i\ r ert*s/i, Wbro a very tube* coming headdress which gave remarkable rotun dity to her face. When attired as the lawyer’s clerk, she looked much bettor. Shyloci. lie does not^ allow. any come Into his peridnatuin. He i* neUfcw. fior Udd-ydiodd. So far from rearing through the part, he plays a good deal of it in a conversational tone. Ho is a quiet, observant, business-nan, until oiroumstanocs arouse him, and tho loss of his daughter and wealth, added to bis hatrel to An tonio) make his revenge a demon, nblct fills &is heart so that he resolves to work it out, whatever the loss. Tho well-known passage, comoenolng, “Hath not a Jow eyes?” be delivered in a man ner difforont from the usual traditional way. Not dwelling upon the words—not making pluses to mako the words havo effect by dint of beiqg sylla bled out, as it wore—but rapidly, and If not ex actly aotio tore, yet In no loud tone, but as If tho sonso of injustice whioh ho gavo uttoranoe tc ttould rush ioto speech, tho mere outpouring of whi<&, he thought, should strike conviction into the uiids of the two Venetians whom ho addressed. Had not ShylocX: full cause for feeling bov un justly he had been usod ? Antonio hod pullioly insulted him, oven on the IlluUo, whoro mordants most do congrcgato. Antonio had spoiloc his trado. Antonio had come a-borrowing to him, and yet had abused him whllo asking thisf&vor. Further, his daughter and substanco had been taken from him by aid of Antonio's friends. Had ho not causo for anger—lor revongo? Mould a Christian havo sat down mildly under snob tggra various? Why, then, should a Jow? In sooth, Sht/locA’ is a badly-used man, and particularly in the tri&Lsoeno, whero every one seems incombl nation to oheat him, by a mere quirk, ofhis re vonge and gold. In tho ballads on this sutioet, of Sbakspeare’s times, it is the Christian whomakos the hard bond, and a Jew, from whom tho pound of flesh is sought. Shnkspearo had to chajgo tho story, to mako tho Jew tho man of usury, mongo, and blood. Mr. Booth’ makes Shylocf rather youngtrthau usual, and wo think ho is right. There is no rea son why he should appear more than forty-fivo to fifty years of ago. Thero is no reason, eithtr, why Mr. Booth should follow the oldoonventiomilty of making a man who is only middle-aged totter about as if, to speak familiarly, ho was “ weak on his pins.” But let this pass. Mr. Booth’s finest noting was his last scope, whero ho appears before a Doge who, contrary to Venetian custom, wears a erown when he should wear the eornu, and half-a-dozon of the shabbiest looking Magnificoes, as thoy aro oallod in th) stage directions of tho play. Thero is only a littit point, generally omitted, whioh Mr. Booth should restore. Most of tho Shyiochs mako a great ostontotion of shnrponing the knife upon the floor. Mr. Booth, on tho contrary, is truer to Shnkspore’s dravingof tho character, and, in tho interval, while tie mes-' senger from Dr. Bellario is presenting the litter to the Doge, kneels down, and quietly sharpms tho knifo on the solo of bis shoe. Quietly—foi ho is filled with lethal, concentrated passion of revengo, and the doeper any overwhelming passion too less will It vont Itself in worth. No, it then will not spca&b ut do. In the play Bassaxio asks “ Why dost thou whet thy knife thus oarnest y ?” And Shylocfc answers, “ To out the forfeiture from that bankrupt there.” The venom of this declaration is enough to n«- euro Bassatiio, if ho wanted assurance, that Sky* loci's will was deadly and unchangeable. He. esys no more. But Gratiano, who has more talk than brains, chimes in with a pun. He says, alluding to tho way in whioh ShylocL was whetting his knity. “ Not on thy sole, hut on thy soul, harsh Jew, Thou inak'st thy knifo kcon j but no metal can, No, not the hangman’s axe, bear half the keenness Of thy sharp envy,” Suroly Mr. Booth should restoro this,—especial ly aa It actually is tho sequence to his own action, then passing. Tiiis QYoning, Mr. Booth will play Maebrth. Wc havo to add that the houso wosorowded. The city authorities of Now York aro sbout to present to the fire department of that city a splen did banner, to be used on the occasion of its trien nial parade next month, which it likely will be an imposing affair.

Editor The Press : In the article in Harper's by"Ronator Douglas, tho ground is ta ken, that slave property is recognisod and guaran tied by tho local law, and by no othor greater au thority, either constitutional or Congressional. In tho review of this articlo (said to bo by Judge Blaok) it is impliedly asserted that slavery is re cognised and guarantied everywhere, oxoopt where tho local law negatives it. This argument rests on the assumed position that slaves aro considered as property, like horses or oxon or any other chattel. The “ revlow ” designates this slave property as a “speoiesof property.” Now, if alavos aro pro perty hold by the same law, right, nndconstitution al guarantees ns othor chnttolrf, ns horses or oxen, why did tho framers of tho Constitution deem it necessary to introduce into tho Constitution tho third provision of the fourth article. If horses or oxen nro stolon, or run away, out of tho State in whiob they are owned into anothor State, tho ownor does not invoke thi3 constitutional provision to ro cover them. • If, howovor, “a person (in the words of the Constitution] hold to eervico or labor in one State, under tho laws thoreof, escaping Into an other,” shall he delivered up, t Vr. •If it roqnirod a spccinl constitutional provision to enablo a man to recover a slave, snob slave could not have been regarded ns a property, guarantied to its owner by-tho same lawor right whichgoverns and regulates the right of ownership in horses, or oxen, or other chattel. This difficulty requires fur ther consideration on tho part of Judge Black. Howls It explained 7 Jekfbkson. Tins Chop op Buckwukat, says tho Harris burg (Pa.)

Sixteenth street,.above Race, was robix'd in a very singular manner. A man. namei. Thomas Buchanan, called on Mr. Smith, and obtained the key of the house on the pretext of examining the house preparatory to tnaame it. He obtained the key. nnd. visiting the dwelling, removed ail the gas brackets from the Walls. ,trtdk -tho.keys,from the. doors, and I possessed thiJnseU brkuodgr btjiet jiousemiUl articles that Seemed to bitn to be moat convenient and valuable. As soon as Mr. Smith discovered his loss, winch was very soon after the deisoiler's departure, he had Bu chanan arrested by Sergeant Lewis, of the Ninth ward. All the stolen property was recovered, as well as art ex tra bucket, and a copper pipe belonging to a bath-bub, whichwere fonml upon his.peraon. The house j>f Bu chanan was afterwards visited bv the police. It msitn nted in a little street, contiguous to Eleventh nod Brown streets. Hera the nflicera found aquantityof nowcali co, a number of silk handkerchiefs, a silver cream-jug. andsoreral other article* which are supposed either to hnvo been stolen or purchased with counterfeit mono*, which, it is nlloged, Buohanan manufactures. The wife of Buchanan wagtaken into custody on suspicion of bo int concerned m the illicit practices of her husband. Buchanan,, himself ,yna committed to fttt/ffQr the charges preferred a«sm«t him, As a matter of mutfnis tlon to our honest readers we may say that tho business of stealing lend pipe and gas fixtures is on the inorense. Wo have {ton good anthoritythat.it pays remarkably well. It is a quiet, unobtrusive business, easily learned, and netting, in skillful hands, os much as fifty dollsrsA week. Nor is it alone followed by thn «wi eulotte oi thievery—the vulgar knaves who travel on their muscle, and talk slang. The two most respectable and clerical* loosing faces in the Roguo’s Gallery—foceswith craped hats, white cravat*, and a plontitude of starch, pomade, nnd jewelry, are those of fellows now recruiting in Movamenaing prison for this very offence. The dodge, of Mr. Thomas Buchanan nnuitaa.newono.. Let eager landlords profit by it. and when affable nnd prim-looking people »eom eager toleaso their houses, let them keep a sharp eve on their movements, nnd ft sharper ono on their lead pipo nnd gas fixtures. A DisonacK to Tint City.—We look nnon the stAtion house of the Fifteenth ward, situated at the corner of Twenty second and Coates streets, ns n dis grace to the oitv. And those who control its police arrnngemants. We believe we have said this ft dozen times, and we say it again, feeling more Andenore im pressed with its truth. We have mentioned the escape of prisoners from this station-house, and not long since an attempted escape, which wsf frustrated by the vigi lanceof some of tho ofheerson duty. We have now to chronicle the escape of three more prisoners, which took place yesterday afternoon. One of them is a notdrions character, known ns Cork?., amt the husband of a nogro woman. The second is another distinguished individual named Frank Bryson. Both of those worthies wern locked upon a charge of larcony. and thanks ton ricketty station-house they are now at large. The third is ft fellowwhosn nnmo is unknown to us, but who was confined on ft charre of qnmken anil disorderly conduct. Buch a state of things is more than tho people of this city have iv right to expect, and Coun cils by maintaining such a nuisance, aro as much guilty of aiding and abetting, their eschne as If they bad smuggled cold chisels into the cell* and holreu to force tho Kars. We have had opportunities of see ing tho condition of the cells of this station in tho courso of our professional business, and we feel we are uttering tho nnvarnislied truth whon we say that we have seen better hovels used a* pig-pens in J»aicerstr#ct. And vet here thieves and murderers aro locked up. only that they may escape: and here meh who may lie inno cent of all charges, but wanting an opportunity to make that innocenco apparent, are compelled for hours to breath* an atmosphere polluted ns that of the famous Black Hot* of Calcutta, we sincerely commend this station-hous* and those who maintain such ft nuisance to the tender mercies of the gentlemen of the Grand Jury. Tub Lightning Axb Tiifc St’N. Some two months ago, a negro m*n named Aaron P. Fithef was arrested l>y Officers Somers,Levy,and Cal\nnan.onthe * barge of robbing the store of Mr. Devine, in Ban* treot. Fisher was emplovcd as a porter in Mr. Do vine’sßtoro, and having nsd thentmost oonudeime re posed in him by his omployer, Kick advantage ofit to rob him of a great amount of property.* Ho had a hear ing on the charge, and was released on bail to answer it. He took advantage of.his liberty to leave the city, and for the past Tew Weeks has been engaged on a New York boat. A copy of a photograph of his. which was taken at the time of his arrest, was despatched to New scnption was arresteunrTm»v'—« York police. Dcteo- Uve Levy being apprised of the fret, wont on to New \ ork, recognised his man. Mid brought him to the city. On Sunday afternoon ft man named Charles Wil liam* stole from a friend of his.tho sum of a hundred dollars. Thn robbery took place in the afternoon, nl»out fqur o'clock, Mid Williams sorted to Now York in the six o’clock tram. JuformMuln was Icklged with the d«- teotivos, by the friend of Williams, as soon us he dis covered hi* loss, and with usual promptitude, the de scription of William* was telegraphedm nil directions. The result wan his aifost. on the arrival of the tram in winch he travelled, in New \ork city. Officer Levy brought him back along with Fisher, and he will have a hearing to-day. These two instances, taken at random from the every day routine of police business, exhibit in a wonderful degree the powerdf electricity and th? sun in the detec tion and punishment of rogues. Leslie is now in a pn i ton cell he might never have seefl Imt fur the subtle in i lluence of that electricity which cleaves tho air with j noiseless assurance. So lona as we have sagacious and i experienced men on duty, with the camera nnd the bat -1 lory ut their command, there is scarcely ftspotin the i confines of civilization where the wrong-doer may hide In* head. Kvery day asserts the truth of this, and every dav tho evidences become stronger and stronger. Anni’ai, Fair op tub Pennsylvania llonn cvLTCßAt. Smutty.—The Weather last evening, which was a* usual rmhy. interfered materially with the dis play of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, at Cun -1 cert Hall. W* spent a few minutes m looking over the collection, and we need not say that we were well re paid for the tune spent. Such a display of luscious ap ples and delicious pears—luso'ous nnd delicious to tho gnze—'we have never seen. The peaches were verj fine, but rare. This has been an unfortunate season for that frmt. There was also ft large collection of flowers, plants, vendibles, and other fruits, which we'will no tice at more length when we have more room. The fair will continue open nil day. To the melody-loving we need ouly say that there is a fine band of music in at tendance; and to the economical li, is only necossarv to mention that tho price of admission is twcnt)-fivo cents.

Peterman is the only witness against th* defendants. Judre Ludlow. The vtsna*. way would be to commit the defendant for a contempt of court, and if I would order the witness to answer and he should refuse..it then would be a contempt of court; hut he is already in the custody of the court. I order the defendant to !>e ta ken into custody, and t>e put into the dock. Witness. The deJendant. Charles Mann, ami I wero schoolboys tm-ether; I have known him all my life. Judge Ludlow then said that Judge Thompson and he had tried, by every possible way in their power, to brier gamblers to justice, and that Peterman’s sentence had been deferred upon that account. District Attorney Wm. B. Mann staled that he was reluctantly compelled to ask tbo jury to return a vordut of not suittv against the defendant for want of evidence. A verdict of acquittal was accordingly rendered. Lewis C. Cassidy. Ksq.. who appeared as counsel for the de fendant, did not have to open his lips in behaif of his Judge I.udlow, at some len>th, referred to the efforts which had l>cen m&do hi himself and his brother jink©* to brine policy dealers and ramblers to justice, and stated that tbe endeavors thus frequently and ho nestly made. hail been thwarted, ns in the present in stance. In some forcible and well-timed remarks, the Judge alluded to the growth of liman evils in our midst, ami expressed a hone that tho time would soon come when lustice might be dealt out to the rain liters with sn unsparing hand, unstayed bv any such exhibition as h*d been made m the trial of the case just disposed of. The lan maze of Judge Ludlow was earneal and impressive, And was listened to with the closest attention. The iury in tho case of Wdhani Vannemnn. police man.

B Ccda bxn, Kbits., appeared for the prosecution: and Daniel Dougherfr. Esq., for the defence. After able speeches on lioih sides, the ca*e was given to tho jury, under a lucid charge from Judge Ludlow.. The jury had not agreed upon their vervhot at the time of thi adjourn ment of tho court. In tho Court of Common Ploaa exceptions to Auditor’s reports were heard. Cowmov Pi, r vn—Judges Thompson nnd Allison. —The Rfnnttl Offeree One.—This case, which iiM at tracted some attention, yesterday came before the nmrt on ft motion of thnir.dv to set aside the decree which had be*n granted .unmet her. 1 he lilwl in this care was filed on the 4th of February, and the divorce decreed on tne J3d of April by a .unrio judge, no jury trial having been demanded. On the 11th of .Inn*. Mrs. Bennett, bv her counsel. (D. F. Murphy and J. K. Johnston, Esq . > filed a petition to set aside the decree upon various grounds of (mud, want of notice. Ac., upon which the court granted the rule which was heard yesterday. Depositions were taken on both sides at great length for and against the allegaiioasof the petition, and the matter camo up for a hearing yesterday. Tbe counsel w» o Appear now are— Forthe role,(on behalf or Mrs. Bennett.) Messrs. D. F. Murphy. Samuel P. Hall,and tames F. Johnston. Against it. (and tor Mr. Bennett.) Mess*!. J. Alex. Simpson. J. Aitamont Fhilbps, and Edward A. Lesley. Tho c'lee commenced t,y Mr. Murphy reading the pe titioner the respondent Mr. Simpson noxt read tho answer of the libebir.t to it. Mr. Morphj then road tne depositions in support of tho rule, snd Mr. buupeon thoso on the other side. Mr. Mnrpliv then proceeded tn open the ease. He said he would first bring the eourt’s attention to certain delects and inemlanties Apparent on the record of the case, which were of themselves fatal to the decree. These points consisted of objections to the mod© snd turn* ol Mins the rule to answer and its service, snd as toiminptcsof the interrogatories having l>een served on tho respondent; also to the fact that a grest portion of tho proceedings were be to re the return day of the jmbl’trna. which ho contended was m t only a violation ol settled principles, but tn express contravention of the act ol Assembly in such cases. lie next took up the petition and answer, and ar/ued that tho latter did rot deny certain allegations of the former s.s to the innocence ol the respondent, her want ol notice of some of tho proceedings against her. her charge that tho examination was ex pone, and that the material outnesses were in his intercat and under hi* control, kc. Ho next adverted to the f-vctxof the cane it«elf. H* I said that over a score of soars ago. Jcoph M-Bennett and Rachel A. Pcolt stood before the altar of God and solemnly pied ceil t» each other mutual vows of altcctmn niul fidelity. 5 s *ho alleges in her petition, upon which the pre«ant rulo is granted, that during .all Inis time she has hilfillod these vow*, and lie docs not in 1m answer deny it. They were nt first juvor, but tn course ot time he l*»- eanie rich and prosperous. A lew year* ago her last surviving blond relative departed this hie. tntil that moment (and indeed, until January of the present year) (hern was no suggestion of a suspicion or impropriety on her part. What occurred then i lie went over the cir cumstances of the confessions made on the 25th of Jnnu* nrr. contending that her statement of them was more truthful amt better sustained br the testimony than ins. He commented on the fact of the weawns proved to have liern earned by tho libellant about that time. Cer tain parties were sent tor—one of them a partner of Ins, ami tiro contagion was repeated to them. Why? Was it not for tho purpose of obtaining testimony? In the same week, this man was so atnictea with a sense of his wife’ssliame that be actusllv took her to tho opera—& matinee at the Academy of Music—with fnenda who were visiting tho house. „ The next step was the filing or a libel for oivoree. He traced the subsequent atep»-tbe service of the *ub prrna at his partner’s house by a suggestion ofthe other aide—the filing of tho answer, and the •* lame and impo tent” failure ofthe libellant to explain it—the procuring uf tho appearance of counsel for her—the instructions of Dennett's partner to that gentleman. He commented , particularly #n the alleged oMtvm to the eh&rge. which actually admitted its ruth. He referred to Awe-mao Freeman's testimony to show thatrt waa not sworn to before himby Mrs. Bennett, a* it purported tnbo, *nd arsued that here waa a fraud upon the court. The nn tlcmaa who then represented her swore that he never saw or filed the answer durmt the proms* of the csee. Who did it? He contrasted the petition of bis cheat with the answer o.f.her husband,to ahow that on toil P ”iFf. h Sla/X' r E«?t *a»Srted to l(ic iojufficjtnf nulmr i of the original testimony, aa Ibown by the refoja! of the eourt to decree a divoree upon (heir Module the rase back for further prwf. of which ape bgd no notice. Then came tho-pmeh of the hbellenl’e fomelxrfj waa to lie prot to show that -the wife-sod the party, charred misht have committed the ofleftceb* reason ot thoir beitu together. One woman who had It ved in the house for year* knew that the gentleman charted baa. visited the hou». which (aej ia not denied, thonch twjfe*- toatunoDr now taken (ineindmr hi* own, which waa given before, because he had no notice of the p'Otee*'• ins) shows the innocence of this lady. Mr. Bennett then approaches this woman and saaks to get nerto testify in hie favor. He went over the conversation oe twtjen them-her sajing that she knew nothing against Mrs. Bennett.and, although she knew that the party re ferred to vimtcd the Louie./Oie waa satisfied with the innocence of Mrs. B. He arud this conversation waa so exact a counterpart of a scene narrated by the *reat dramatist that ho was tempted to quote it. After Othello had had instilled into his mmd donbtastohie wife s fidelity, and bad been plied with suggestions of a confession of her supposed paramour and the circum stance of the handkerchief, he comes to Em'ha to trv to get some testimony from her to confirm hu suspicion*. What waa their conversation ? Oth. \on nave seen nothing then ? Emil. Nor ever heard; n*n divorce c*ac*. referring to the instance of Uenry VIII and Anna Bnleyn. whtchhe saidwasthe only case since the Reformation in which a divorce had been decreed, or a marriage declared null, solely npon the confessions of the party. He quoted case* from Johnson’s. Green’s, ana Wniht’s Chancery Reports, ami also from Pennsylvania cases, in Watt* and m Barr’s Reports, and other cases. He ureed that there was some proof of eollosioa, and quoted’fcntboniies on review of the whole case, he appealed to their Honor* to sav whether in the ordinary rase of a.lnor meut enured by eonfewion. they wreikj not ooen it and Jet in the defendant to a defence before the ronatita tional tribunal—a inrr of twelve toen—on les* than hall the caae here sh«wnr He waa about tf> refer to mnw authorities, showing the ftvnr wr»h which conrts had uniformly viewed application* of this bod. when M yielded to a suggestion of lodge Thompson: that the hour waa late, and the case was continued until Saw day n*xt. , Durinr the argument of Mr. Ma/psy, a* w** con tinually interrupted br su •-estK>ns from the ami the counsel on the other aide.
