 FrGud.-A man was lately summoned be- fore magistrate in London, charged with specles of fraud hitherto unknown-viz sell ing his wife to another man for ten guineas, and then passing another mans wife on the purchaser instead of his own.

 There is petition of lady before the le- gislaturc for a divorce from her husband, for certain reasons set forth. There was a great number of witnesses in attendance before the committee appointed by the house on this sub Ject, and so interesting was the testimony pro- duced, that we understand it diverted the at- tentiOn of several members of the assembly from the business before them to the commit tee room. The defendent, we understand, is opposed to districting, and is in favor of the general tic&et system.

 MT. SM1rH--

 The surviving relatives of Judge Holmes deceased, have observed with regret in the obituary notice published in your paper, that ausion is made to his having died at small public house. where he did not experience those attentions and that kindness which are so consoling to the sick and dying.

 Permit them to correct this error, and to say that the house to which he was carried after the accident occurred is a very respect able one, and that the inmates of it devoted themselves with unwearied assiduity and ten derness to him during the whole of his sick ness and to the hour of his death. He had kind and skiIful physicians to attend him, who were assisted and advised by some of the ablest counsel :n the state. His nearest rea- tives were with him during the greatest part ofhls sickness and at the close of life, and beg leave to express most lively sense of grati- tude to the family and neighbors for their uncommon kindness, and to the pious clergy ] man whose prayers, the prayers of the right eOus " which avail n1uch," were repeatedly offered up at the bedside ofthe stranger whom the Providence of God had placed among them in such aff1icting circumstances.

 We cheerfully insert the above, because if any of our readers construed our notice of Judge Holmes decease, as conveying any censure upon the family with whom he was cast by his affiiction, such an impression ought to be effaced. We did not intend to convey such an idea. The death of Judge Holmes was a great loss to his family and society ;-I his death being occasioned by the fracture of a limb, at distance from home, among stran- gers-there to suffer pain, sickness and disso- lution-these were aggravating circumstances attending his death-this is all we intended to say in our obituary notice.

 A communication, in answer to the Notice signed by Drs. Buel and Chids, in our last, has been received, which for certain reasons is deferred for the present.
