Tito last number of tlio North liritisl Review, taking for a text one of tlio almos daily reported cttses of wife beating anion j the"Iowor orders" that aro to bo met will in tho London papors, makes the followinj vary just oboerrntions, which we think tin reader will join with its in believing at entitled to something beyond a mere loca application: It is not to bo doubled, that in tho cri initial annals of Ktiglaud, outrages upoi wotnott havo of Into years lield a distress ingly prominent position. It is no exftg geration to say, that scarcely a day passu that does not add otto or rnoro to the pub halted cases of this description of offence and tho published?that is, tho judicially investigated cases?bear but a small pro portion to tlio unpublished. Tito outrngi may bo murder itself, or it may fall sltor of murder. Some wretched woman goo bleeding and staggeiing into court, to tel how hor husband or iter paramour ha. struck her down and trampled upon Iter? thrown her out of a window, or kicked he down stairs?or stabbed her with a knifi ?or perpetrated sumo act of violence 01 her peraoti too gross and hotiiblo to do scribe. It has become, wo say, an overy day story. The details may vary, for lltoro an many forms of cruelty on the one sido am suffering on tho other; but they aro al written by the sumo strong hand in tin blood and tears of feeble woman. J. .1 l J-..:-.i .1 i? -II I IV unuuw uu uuineu lllill III Mil CiaSSCS O society tlicro aro bail husbands. But in tin upper classes men rarely lift their hand! against their wives. To oiler personal vio lence to a woman is an offence against so ciely for which nothing can atone. Met of education and refinement do not strik* women; ticilher do they strikouno nuuthor This is not theii mode of expicssing resent inent. They may utter words more culling than sharp knives; they may do thin^i moro stunning in their effects on the vie tim than tho blows of pokers or hammers ttioy may kill their wires by procos9 of slow torture?unkiuducss, infidelity, whatovoi shape it may assume?and society will for give them. Tho law, too, has nothing tc say to them. Tlioy are not guilty of what is recognised as an assault, because the} only assail tho affections?only lacerate tin heart. They speak with horror of llr< "brutal wretches" who indict on women blows, less painful at the time, and leaf abiding in their olleela. Hut is their treat ment of women any better than that o! ihcso Indians? Have they any higher scust of what is duo to womanhood? The} would not besmear a fair face with blood but they would set a tender heart a bleed ipg until it can bleed no tuoro. They would not mar tho beauty of God's handiwork, hut they would soil tho purity of n virgin soul. If wo would see the worst type of man's cruelty to women, wo must not go into tho police courts where women with dishevelled hair and disfigured faces givo painful evidence against their bus bands, but into tho best streets, alter night fall, where the unspcaking and unspeakable evidence meets us at every turn. There aro various forms of man's cruelty to w omen, of w hich tvifo bcatuig, wo are as* to .i? f > V.., .? nut inu nuini. 1 U &CUUCC, Uelfiiy, aud desert a youngand bcaulilul woman, in the first freshness and beauty of youth?to lenvo her to die slowly of hunger, disease, or gin, or suddenly by a leap, on a cold winter's night, from the parapet of a bridge, is to do what must he done amongst us on a much larger scale than wife beating? else whence all tho-o evidences of the "great sin of great cities?" and it is to do it quietly and deliberately, under no irresistible provocation, and with nono of those attendant excuses or palliations which are nut unfairly pleaded on behalf of the poor, uneducated,ignorant man, whose neglected childhood and misguided youth are naturally and necessarily followed by a brutal jzed manhood. Wo huvesaid that "cases" of wilb-beating appeared almost every day in the public prints. Kvory now and then, Wo, iho public are startled and shocked by the revolution of a "case" of the other kind ? a case of cold-blooded, systematic trading in woman's ruin, of which it is evident that the aiders and abettors are not poor, uneducated, ignorant men. i heso published ca^OB may he comparatively lew; but every oitu is an unlucky member of a large privalo family?part, indeed, ol a 1 extensive systom. It will huvo been gathered from i ho newspaper extract*, illustmlivo of w ife Dealing, which wu havo given above, that llio inoro uncivilized and savago race o( cruelty-mongers hnvo a rude, ruffianly way of checking llio complaints of the injured. Tlieso manly fellows of (ho poorer classes assemble about tlio doors of the police court, and revilo tlio sorrowing, and often reluctant witness, with gross epithets and loud bellow ings, as sho tottors out of the presence of the "beak." Sho has to run the gauntlet of a crowd of horoos sympathizing with her persecutors. Wo confess that this, which appenrs to be a now manifestation, is in our eyes the worst phase of the ovil. ltut whore the wrong doers are of a higher order, thoy have no need to cheek complaint and prevont inquiry after so primitive a fashion as this. They need hut to open their purees; they can buy off inconvenient investigations. Wo do not moan by this that they can tamper with justice ? that they can hiiho (ho jndgo upon his s'-ut, or effectually paralyze the activity of the police, But (hey can so fence in their iniquity?can raise such barriers between their crime ami Iho laws rut to render detection difficult and revolution raro. The wrong doing* "f the pror man is as open as < or I day. Tho nrrenin* oT hi* wifo or paramour catinot l>o stiiiod in tho close alley or loom ing courtyard wherein ho dwells. Hi* j homo is porhups a single room in a house | wlimo half-H dozen families ;uv horded to- ^ golhor. Every sound is heard tkrough tho thin, dilapidated partition wall. A score of ? witnesses aio ever ready, if need bo, to di- j vulge tho ollcnco. Hut tho othor sin of ;| which wo spenk is screened and guarded I<y closed loors and obscuring curtains; and , from tho penetralia of such houses no voice can cotuo without ihocouaont ofaidois and { abettors, who cannot speak except to criini- j nato themselves and to destroy their trade. s I'horo is no noad for any howling and bul- ?j lowing, and iuliniidatiou of reluctant wit- j nossoa in open day. Everything is secret as ?j death. Witnesses ate kept out of tho way. | When by 601110 raro accident a "caso" of j this kind struggles into light, and becomes . tho subject of n judicial inquiry, all thai , tho outraged sufferer can say is, that sho . has bcon wrongod "by a gentleman," aided by a woman, perhaps with a dozen aliusfs, ? who generally contrives to escape. Unlike t Charles Slomai), upon whom tho policeman j lays his hand at once, and about whose . lufTianly identity there can bo no mistake, . the gentleman wrong-doer remains a myth t Ij ?an abstraction. IIo may liavo commit- , ^ led a felony of a grievous kind, which not j y long ago might havo sent him to tho gal- ^ * low. ; but his personal identity is obscured , .r - ho is but tho type of a clam.

J f I On every hand, and in all circles, wo c ,-i hear complaints of female oxtravagance. f 4 Ilushands talk about it, fathers complain j of it, tho pulpit thunders against it, news v papers argue and declaim upon it by turns. a Does specie go out of llm country i Wo c arc told it is Localise the ladies buy so many t laces, l> >cudos, and other French extrava* j gaucos. Is a merchant ruined I llalf the 1: r j world lays it to tho prodigality of his wife. , ] ' Young men shrug their shoulders when 8 advised to marry, and say they cannot 8 . afford to pay tho milliners' hills. Old men ? ' rate their daughters fur tho sums they 0 r squander on French finery. From all sides t ii nru 01 wu ami objurgation is kept up , upon tlio extra vagauco of woiuon, second j only in fury to tlio lire on Sebitslopol the c day tho Malabo!!' was captured. 1 ho an- v atheina mnranallia rises immediately to n tho lips of tho men whenever Brussels ( r laco or brocade, diamonds, India shaws, or : v other feminine cxtiavagauees aie mentioned e in their presence. & \el tho fault is not all on one side. If g ladies love choico laces, gentlonion like c fine cigars. From tho day laboicr, who i will havo his beer and tobacco, up to the H rich citizen, who drinks pure wines or v drives fast trotters, self gratification is the c rule with moil rather than tho exception. s Many a husband, who sours when ho re- ,] ceives his wife's bill for gloves, spends twice as much on oysters for himself. Bib f, liards, suppers and sporting excursions eon- p sumo their propoitiou, at least, of the fain- f, ily income. In justice to women, loo, it ], must be admitted, that while her prodigal- r, ily arisjs from the desire to look lovelier, n which is hut tho instinct of her sex to an |, i dor hcisell more pleasing t<> man, the ex- p travaganco of man, on tho other hand, J springs generally from a selfish desire to v, gratify his appclito or pander to a morbid a love of excitement. At most, vanity is w more pnrdounble than gluttony or drunk a cuucs*. Women squander money on show; ; ? man wastes it on wine or houcs. We j, rarely hear tho stronger sox denouncing |, tlio weaker as spendthrifts w ithout saying a , to ouiselves "take lirst tho beam from S) thine own eye." p To what do llieso words tend ! Not lo | the increase of recrimination between man ' and wife, but to tho fostering of mutual j4 I forbearance mid self-denial. We wish to 0 j impress our rentiers that there is no stall* n, however exalted, no condition, however a j poor, in which oiiu sex does not often grat- j, I ify its vanity or appetite at tho expense of s, J iho other.
