Gauging morahty by Jthe number of divorces, Connectumt and Rhode Island are far more numerous than in New York city. In South Carolina no divorces are allowed, aud the di vorce statute of New York is almost prohibi tory except as to one cause. The practice in our courts is, however, easier than in some States though Connecticut is easiest of all. V*a Q4.T ykas a st"ngent practice. It is a bad State to go to for divorce, though a good State to get married in after divorce. Of course, under the federal con stitution, a divorce legally granted in one btate must be respected throughout the Union. Une cause that the proportion of divorcesjis tS W im j Tew York > as compared with New Ji-ngland, i a the great number of Roman Catholics » that city, that religion being strongly opposed to divorces. Two of the most peculiar cases in the experience of this champion untier of the matrimonial knot were that of a young woman who was divorced twice from same man, and that of a stylish and beautiful woman, who, on the same day of her divorce, became bridesmaid for her sister in marriage with the man fiie had just cast off.

AMUSEMENTS.

puince op Wales theatre.

Kobertson's famous comedy of "Caste" tvas produced at this theatre last evening in the presence of a fair assemblage of persons. Mrfeates, who has won popularity in^ America, took the part of Old Eccles, His impersonation was that of an original and finished actor, and we hope to see him on many future occasions. Pressure upon our space with mail news prevents an exten ded notice of the performance to-day, but in our next issue we shall take an opportunity of speaking of the merits of this clever actor aa they deserve. If Mr De Lais continues to engage talent of this class he will soon secure a large support for the theatre. Miss Adelaide Stoneham played the part of Polly Eccles in a highly satisfactory manner. The simple candid girl was happily represented by this young actress, and brought forth the approving acclamations of the observers. Mrs Searle as Esther, Mrs Stoneham as the Marquise de Maur, Mr Stoneham as Sam, Mr L. Booth as George D'Alroy, and Mr C. Verner as the gallant captain, sustained their parts very creditably. The play was placed upon the stage in a very satisfactory manner. The piece will bejperformed aj?am this evening.

CALIFORNIA MINSTRELS. | The merry agile minstrels gratified a full house last evening at the City Hall with their fine sentimental ballads and comic representations, and were frequently greeted with rounds of applause. The songs and negro sketches and. musical feats were in excellent order, lively, fanciful, and happy. The performances this evening will be for the benefit of Messrs Campbell and Rocke feller. The minstrels deserve their reward. PONSONBY HALL. The secular concert, previously announced, will take place this evening at Ponsonby Hall. The members of the local musical society have been active in preparing for this event, which is looked forward to with a great amount of interest. The programme appears in another column. The arrange ments have been made by Mr W. J. Rees, and the music by Mr Mitchell, who will conduct.
