'H'ite IComan Church and the PState Fight- ing Over the Marringe Laws—Pro- te.taat Clergy and Marriage Lkeen®es Nowhere Agalmt the Chareb of Rome —A Voung l,ady'. Queer Alternative. A Montreal despatch of Saturday's date as) a a somewhat notorious case was decided late this afternoon by Judge Jette in the Superior Court, being an interlocutory judgment in the suit of Laramee against Evans. It appears that Mr. Evans, who is a Protestant, wished to marry Miss Lara - was, who is also a Protestant, or, as bez friends put it, a discontented Catholic. The friends of the lady did nut like the warriago unit set their faces against it. The young couple themselves, uevertlaeless, iumisted upon becoming man and wife. They procured a license made in due form and bought out a French Canadian Protestant minister, Rev. J. N. Beaudry, and presenting their license, asked Lim to marry them. This Mr. Beaudry did, when the pair were satisfied. But ilia friends of the lady objected, and brought the action to buys ilia marriage aunulled. They took the ground that a Protestant iniuister bad no right to marry it Catholic to a Protestant, even though the parties are willing, and notwithstanding that they had a regularly marria a lie s made g en e. Mr. J.J. McLaren, for the opposant, brought Rev. Dr. Jenkins and other eminent clergymen of the Pro. testant denomination into the witness box to show that it had been the practice to marry any parties who so desired it if they possessed a marriage license and were eligible parties. The counsel for the prosecution maintained that the decree of the Roman Catholic Bishop was 'paramount, and that the license did not made any difference. The peculiarity of the case excited much comment at the time of the trial, and as the question involved was whether Church or State was paramount, people looped eagerly for the judgment. It has taken nearly fourteen mouths for Judge Jette to arrive at a con- clusion, as the case was given to him some time in 1880. His judgment way voluminous. Ile reviewed the marriage custom since the Christiau era dawned upon the world, tracing it down to the present tirne. Ile then showed how matters stood between the Church alld State and individuals during the French regime in Canada. Upon the laws then in exibtence be based his judgment, contending that the treaty of cession of the country to Great Brftaiu protected the French Canadians of to -day da the enjoyment of the then existing laws of the State within the Church. Ilia judg- ME , reduc )d`to a flue point in Euglibb, is that the parties should not Lave been married by a Protestant minister, the marrage licence to the contrury notwith- standing; that the marriage i» null and void legally, and thatt;o far as that part of it is concerned which is a swerameutof the Church, it be referred to the Roman Catho- lic Bishop o£ the diocese to be exercised or annulled. Thus a Roman Catholic bishop is judi. cially asked to expuuge a sacrament or Church ordiuunce administered by a Pro• testant clergymen, while the law declares that the latter is a breaker of the law because he recognizes as valid a marriage license. At any rate, the merits of the case are not yet thoruugLly disposed of, as I learn that the counsel fur the opposant will al)peal the case.

The Prince of Walos has been visiting the Marquis of Bath at Longleat. Thelast royal visit to this place was that paid by Georgy I1I. and Queen Charlotte in Sept., 1749. The royal couple were entertained on their arrival frorn Weymouth at a din- ner, which " consisted of two sixteens, with eight removes, exclusive 0f the side tables, mud an excellent dessert of choice fruits and)ices; provided by i1r. Gunter." It lasted nearly two hours, and His Majesty discoursed freely and pleasantly all the tints. 'lee beverage was mostly small ales and water, very little wine being drunk at and none after dinner. Tlihi was at 4, and at 0 there w•as a supper, the interval being passed in card playing. The royal party rotdained till the morning of tile secuud IhLy, and fully 30,000 persons visited Long- leat during their stay. Tbey then weutou to Linrcl Ailesbury's,at Savernske, " where they lay " ork the wily back to 1�'indsor.

The Cont of a I+'it•®t-Chun New V orlt Fire —A Plundering Fireman. A New York despatch says : A fire origi. nating in Messrs. Covert & Aker's bonded warehouse, at Nos. 71, 72, 73, and 74 South street, and 162 Maiden Lane and Depeyster street, was one of the moat destructive that has occurred in the city for several years. The building known as 71 South street was inclosed iii one of the angles of Messrs. Covert, Aker & Co's. warehouses; which were five stories high. Messrs. Covert, Aker & Company occupied all the buildings, with the eaceptionof the offices, in 71 South street, of Mr. John R. Moorewood, of Messrs. Moorewood cL Co., merchants, and Messrs. Frank G. & Jno. A. Griswold, importers of teas and East Indian produce. The buildings ran west eighty feet. In the basement of 71 South street were stored high -wines, and in the basements of 72, 73, 7.1, were stored free goods and tobacco, worth $300,000. The other floors were packed with silks, cigars, tea, spices and East India products to the value of $1,500,00(3. On the contents of 71 south street, being worth from $700,000 to $900,000, there was full insurance on both the building and contents. There was delay in getting out after the alarm, and the eng]us tardily responded. The magnitude of the da,6ger•to property in the building and the neighboring ones were seen and two more alarms were sent out, It was ten minutes before four engines were at work, as those that should have come to swell the num- ber to more than a dozen were at a Broadway fire. The building was s.so strongly fastened up that it took five minutes to force the front door of 71 South street. Then the building waQ full of smoke, and the air was so hot that no fire- man could live in the narrow alleyways, and operations lead to be conducted from outside, A tremendous explosion, it is supposed of gas, shook the building and blew out the windows of the second floor. After damage of a million dollars had been caused, and the firemen had worked two hours, it was thought the fire had been got under control, but suddenly an immense sheet of flames burst forth, and 71, 72 and 73 South street were entirely destroyed, with the building ,on Maiden Lane. A large quantity of Indian shawls, wines and liquors, and an immense quantit of tobacco were destroyed. Seven f adjoining buildings were badly damaged by fire and water. The loss is estimated as high as $3,000,000. The principal losers are W. F. Milton & Co., Wetmore, Cryder & Co„ F. Garcia & Bros., Antoine Gonzales &`s M. & E. Solomon, whose loss is estimated. at $300,000 ; and Clement, Herdt & Co., whose loss is said. to be $I50,000. A fireman has been arrested on suspicion of trying to break into one of the eafes. A Ghontly Czar. ' A curious story, which smacks decidedly of the marvellout+, comes to me from St: Petersburg. It is related that for several nights past the ghost of the dead Emperor Alexander Il. hats appeared at the altar of the cathedral in that city, clothed, unlike most spectres, in a rich military cloak. The ran k of the special visitant is of course bad regard to, and the story goes that.the apparition is accompanied by an aide-de- camp. The gossiping chronicler oia wbose authority I give this item of news further j relates that on the aforesaid intelligence beim conveyed to Gatschina-the retreat of the reigning- Czar -strict orders were issued ,o tate police to seize, if possible, the intruder, and ascertain whether the thing was really compact flesh and blood. ii private meeting has been held in Edin- burgh of wembers of the Traditional Party in the Free Church of Scotland to consider whut ought to be done with regard to Prof. Bruce's book on " The Chief End of Reve- latitm." Prof. Thomas Smith, Dr. Begg and r;eveuty other persons were present. The ,Scot>inon understaudg that " some of Liao speakers were unsparing in their condeinuation of the views embodied in Prof. Bruce's book, while others were in the position of not haviu;,+ read or aufliciently studied the volume to offer an opinion 'regarding the doctrines contained in it." Mr. Bidston stated that he sbouldaskthe Commission of the Assem- blv if the College Committee had taken any action yet. The feeling of the Conference was in favor of letting the Glasgow Presby- tery take the initiative. In Africa, if the damsel don't like her husband, she leas no redress. She must submit unconditionally to his will. When she arrives tit his home she is placed under the cbeirgo of one of his head wives, who tells ber what she must do, and unfolds to her all the good and bad qualities of her husband. If she still manifests a dislike for him, it becomes the duty of the older wives to comfort her all they can. If she will not be reconciled and continues stub- born, she is whipped by one of the other wives, and thus made to submit to the authority of her lore] and master. It is necessar b r a s t t' uu v to o se ve iiia hat lits course of discipline results in making her a good and obedient wife. William Jansen, of New York, came near being killed. IIe was appealed to by a young lady who had been disputing with another fair creature about the color of the latter's hair.

She is now in jail, but it will be a chilly day whet Mr, Jansen again under takes to notify a woman that' her hai- is red.

Covert & Aker's bonded warehouse, at Nos. 71, 72, 73, and 74 South street, and 162 Maiden Lane and Depeyster street, was one of the moat destructive that has occurred in the city for several years. The building known as 71 South street was inclosed iii one of the angles of Messrs. Covert, Aker & Co's. warehouses; which were five stories high. Messrs. Covert, Aker & Company occupied all the buildings, with the eaceptionof the offices, in 71 South street, of Mr. John R. Moorewood, of Messrs. Moorewood cL Co., merchants, and Messrs. Frank G. & Jno. A. Griswold, importers of teas and East Indian produce. The buildings ran west eighty feet. In the basement of 71 South street were stored high -wines, and in the basements of 72, 73, 7.1, were stored free goods and tobacco, worth $300,000. The other floors were packed with silks, cigars, tea, spices and East India products to the value of $1,500,00(3. On the contents of 71 south street, being worth from $700,000 to $900,000, there was full insurance on both the building and contents. There was delay in getting out after the alarm, and the eng]us tardily responded. The magnitude of the da,6ger•to property in the building and the neighboring ones were seen and two more alarms were sent out, It was ten minutes before four engines were at work, as those that should have come to swell the num- ber to more than a dozen were at a Broadway fire. The building was s.so strongly fastened up that it took five minutes to force the front door of 71 South street. Then the building waQ full of smoke, and the air was so hot that no fire- man could live in the narrow alleyways, and operations lead to be conducted from outside, A tremendous explosion, it is supposed of gas, shook the building and blew out the windows of the second floor. After damage of a million dollars had been caused, and the firemen had worked two hours, it was thought the fire had been got under control, but suddenly an immense sheet of flames burst forth, and 71, 72 and 73 South street were entirely destroyed, with the building ,on Maiden Lane. A large quantity of Indian shawls, wines and liquors, and an immense quantit of tobacco were destroyed. Seven f adjoining buildings were badly damaged by fire and water. The loss is estimated as high as $3,000,000. The principal losers are W. F. Milton & Co., Wetmore, Cryder & Co„ F. Garcia & Bros., Antoine Gonzales &`s M. & E. Solomon, whose loss is estimated. at $300,000 ; and Clement, Herdt & Co., whose loss is said. to be $I50,000. A fireman has been arrested on suspicion of trying to break into one of the eafes. A Ghontly Czar. ' A curious story, which smacks decidedly of the marvellout+, comes to me from St: Petersburg. It is related that for several nights past the ghost of the dead Emperor Alexander Il. hats appeared at the altar of the cathedral in that city, clothed, unlike most spectres, in a rich military cloak. The ran k of the special visitant is of course bad regard to, and the story goes that.the apparition is accompanied by an aide-de- camp. The gossiping chronicler oia wbose authority I give this item of news further j relates that on the aforesaid intelligence beim conveyed to Gatschina-the retreat of the reigning- Czar -strict orders were issued ,o tate police to seize, if possible, the intruder, and ascertain whether the thing was really compact flesh and blood. ii private meeting has been held in Edin- burgh of wembers of the Traditional Party in the Free Church of Scotland to consider whut ought to be done with regard to Prof. Bruce's book on " The Chief End of Reve- latitm." Prof. Thomas Smith, Dr. Begg and r;eveuty other persons were present. The ,Scot>inon understaudg that " some of Liao speakers were unsparing in their condeinuation of the views embodied in Prof. Bruce's book, while others were in the position of not haviu;,+ read or aufliciently studied the volume to offer an opinion 'regarding the doctrines contained in it." Mr. Bidston stated that he sbouldaskthe Commission of the Assem- blv if the College Committee had taken any action yet. The feeling of the Conference was in favor of letting the Glasgow Presby- tery take the initiative. In Africa, if the damsel don't like her husband, she leas no redress. She must submit unconditionally to his will. When she arrives tit his home she is placed under the cbeirgo of one of his head wives, who tells ber what she must do, and unfolds to her all the good and bad qualities of her husband. If she still manifests a dislike for him, it becomes the duty of the older wives to comfort her all they can. If she will not be reconciled and continues stub- born, she is whipped by one of the other wives, and thus made to submit to the authority of her lore] and master. It is necessar b r a s t t' uu v to o se ve iiia hat lits course of discipline results in making her a good and obedient wife. William Jansen, of New York, came near being killed. IIe was appealed to by a young lady who had been disputing with another fair creature about the color of the latter's hair. Mr. Jansen promptly decided that it was red, whereupon the disappointed damsel produced a pocket-knife and pro- ceeded to stab the referee in several places, but fortunately -failed to reach the vital part. She is now in jail, but it will be a chilly day whet Mr, Jansen again under takes to notify a woman that' her hai- is red. AT this critical periodjlreland's two dukes are faithful to their Irish bomes-the Duke of Leitteter at Carton, Iiildare ; the Duke of Abercorn at Baronscourt, Tyrone.

Themansion is it very extensiveandimpos- ing structure. The constant occurrence of terrible results frorn the employment of vitriol as a means of vengeance bas induced the authorities of Paris to take steps directed to restricting its sale. Henceforth, by order of the Prefect of Police, no vitriol is to be sold to any one unprovided either with a phy'eician's prescription, or a per- mission from tt Police Superintendent. A farmer, on being asked to write a testimonial for a patent clothes wringer, produced the following : " I bought your clothes wringer, and am bugely pleased with it. I bought a jag of wood which proved too green and unfit for use ; I ran the whole load through your wringer, and have used the wood for kindlingever since."
