Sir Dillon Bell, speaking in the debate on the Impounding Bill, said, by these Bills—the Brands Bill, the Sheep Bill, the Fencing Bill, Impounding Bill—they were setting up an im-. mense number of local authorities, who would conflict with each other. They little thought, Abolitionists as they were, that when they pulled down , the provinces they Would supplant what they all knew and understood, for the various authorities, beginning with the County Councils, since established. All this amount of local machinery was a mere' linsey-woolsey garment —it was 'neither fish, flesh, fowl, nor good red herring. The Paris correspondent of the Cincinati Enquirer writes :—“ A gay young woman, good-looking and well-con-nected, married Lord de la Zouche, and three months afterwards committed the ineffable folly of running off with another nobleman, the Earl of Mayo, a mere boy, scarce 19. They went off to Paris together, and made no response to the plea for divorce which Lord de la Zouche at once put in. Their wicked freak had a fearful , term in a 05.r>~ •;The madness of frenzy fell on the young Earl of Mayo, and his horrified mother, was obliged to s.eek him out and conduct him to an insane asylum. He was so frantic that the company controlling the Channel boats refused him a passage, and the wretched mother had to cross with him in a freight vessel. Meantime the foolish young creature, who had ruined her social prospects for ever by her "folly, now finds herself reduced almost to starvation. Her lover is mad, and of course cannot help her; her former husband is about to marry again, and of course will do nothing for her; and her own family, who have repudiated her openly, are also poor, and cannot help her if they would.” Strangers coming to reside in Ashburton are often at a. loss to know which is the best Establishment to visit for the purchase of Prapery, Clothing, .and House-furnishing Ironmongery, and General Stores.
