ROBBERIES STOPPED.-Of late thc night rob? beries In the city have been so few in number as to excite attention, and the explanation is easily furnished. The police of the city have been on the alert, and have arrested large numbers of va? grants who have summarily been sent to jail by the Mayor. The piincipal gangs are nearly bro? ken up, and tr-.c few depredators at large are re? markably shy, and do not raid with their old audacity. -? A CHARLESTON" LADY INSANE.-There is in Alieghany City, Pennsylvania, a Mrs. Priscilla Miller, n?e Hunter, who is suffering from insanity, and who represents herself as belonging to Charles? ton, where sh-* was strack, during the shelling of the city, ou the back or the head, by a frag? ment of shelL Any person interested In her, If any there be in this city, may obtain runtier in? formation about her by applying at the office of the City Hospital.

Messrs. Pelzer, Rodgers & Co., Brown's wharr, are the general agents of the company. THE XIX CENTURY.-This now well known magazine has been purchased by Messrs. J. G. Livingston A Co., and will henceforth be edited by the principal of the Arm. As an old member of the press and a man or cultivated taste, he will doubtleas Infuse new energy into the magazine, and make lt what lt deserves to become-the leading oagazine of the South. We wish the new firm every success. Rev. W. Watkln Hicks, the former proprietor, departed yesterday for Macon, where he will abide, and preach, it is intimated, under the aus? pices of the Methodist Conference of Georgia. VERDICT OF THE JURY.-in the case of Lo? gan Ferguson, deceased, we omitted to state that a jury of inquest was held, who, after a thorough examination, returned the following verdict : "That deceased came to his death from wounds inflicted on the head, on thc evening or the 2lth of December, 1870, at the Eight-mile Store, by means of an instrument of wood lu the hand or >hands of Jessie ChUolm." Cblsolm ls represented as a dangerous ruffian? who has another reckoning somewhat similar to this against him. AU the proper steps have been taken to maure his speedy arrest. CRUMBS.-A lltt?e colored girl, giving her name as Mary Anti Waring, was found on Tues? day last at the corner of Calhoun and Coming streets. She was taken to No. 4 Duncan street, where she has been kindly cared for, and where ber parents eau now Sud her. A writ of habeas corpus was issued yesterday In favor or Parah Filmore, confined tn Jail without a regular commitment, but the prisoner was dis? charged on bail before the hearing of the case. A parade or the First Regiment N. G. S. C. will take place on Monday next. The "solitary reign'' of the moping owls in the Circular Church steeple Is drawing to a close. Ix TROUBLE.-A short time ago, two colored men were arrested on the warrant of the United States commissioner, charged with rioting at Wappetaw Church during the late election, on the affidavit of a gentleman residing lu that neigh? borhood. Upon e vamlnatlon, one of them, named . Smith, was discharged. Yesterday, while the gentleman was paying a visit to the city, he was arrested on a charge of false imprisonment, an? der a warrant Issued by Trial Justice Buuch on the affidavit or Smith. He was taken before the trial justice, and, not beingable to procure the necessary bail at a late hour In the evening, he was about to be committed. From this unpleas? ant situation he was relieved by the aid or a well known trial justice, who procured the bail. The c?te comes up to day before Trial Justice Bunch. A CAPACIOUS MERCHANTMAN.-There sailed up this harbor yesterday, auder an attractive display of canvass, even the royals being up, the superb British trou ship Cashmere, of 1215 tons. She ls a first-class freighting vessel, constructed tn England of iron, and although presenting a massive appearance on thc water, her flne lines do not indic-ite her great carrying capacity, which ls probably fully Tour thousand (4000) bales or cot? ton. She looks like a noble specimen of marine architecture, and with her strong hull, weu secured, spars and great spread or canvass, she appears equal : o any work a ship may be called upon to do. She is commanded by Captain T. J. Tobin, whose skill and the speed of the ship ls best Indicated by the unusually quick passage of live days from Boston. She is consigned to Messrs. Street Brothers & Co., who will freight her for Liverpool. THE ECLECTIC MAGAZINE.-With the January number the Eclectic enters upon a new volume and a new year, lt would seem impossible to make a more valuable compendium of foreign current literature than the Eclectic has always been, yet Increased attractions are announced Tor 1871. The field of selections has been enlarged so as to present every aspect of contemporary thought ; without deviating from its elevated standard, it will be somewhat more popular '.a tone, and the va nable editorial departments hare been remodelled and enlarged so as to embrace every possible topic. The January number ls a very good one for subscribers to commence with. rWontains a beautiful steel engraving called "F.c Florentine Poet," and has no less than twenty diff?rent articles, among which are Ameri? can Humor; The Present Condition of China; Bul wer's Lite of Lori Palmerston; The Sun's Corona; Btanca Capello; Sketches of the War; Tyndall on Imagination in Science; Military Genius; German Constancy; three or four excellent poems, a -erial story, aud many ?tr.er excellent papers, besides the editor's department.

ALBERT BARNES.-This dis? tinguished divine or the Presbyterian Church died in Philadelphia cn Saturday last. Dy his numer? ous writings, and '-Bible Commentaries'' in par? ticular, Mr. Barnes had earned a world-wide rep. utatlon. His Bible commentaries, adopted In every Sunday-School and nearly every Protestant family in the land, prove him to have been a dil? igent student and a most profound expounder of the Scriptures. These were often written in the midst of the most arduous duties, and nearly deprived him or DU eyesight, the result or labor while others were as?ep. The circulation or his "Notes on the New Testament"'ia said to have reached a million volumes. They were exten? sively translated, and have been adopted by many biblical students or the Old World. Two other of his works, "A Life of St. Paul" and "Evidences of Christianity," had a wide circula? tion. _ _ CLOBS AND STARS.-Isaac Cohen, lodged for larceny or $2 50 with which he was sent te buy wood, had a preliminary hearing befare Trial Justice Northrop, and was remanded for further examination. Nathan Williams, lodged for vagrancy was sent to the House or Correction for Ave days. A white boy applied Tor lodgings at the Guard? house and was dismissed next morning. Louisa Campbell, an old colored woman, re? ported herself as sick and destitute, and having received a night's lodging,was sent next morning to the City Hospital. Emma Gourdin, a poor colored woman from the I country, received a night's lodging on application, I and was next morning seat to her friends In the country. A small kit of mackerel, lately stolen from the steamer Emilie by John Freeman, was recovered cud brought to thc Siatlonhouse. A certain sum of money has been picked np in the sergeant's office, in thc lower Guardhouse, and will bc delivered to the owner on proof of prop? erty. MASONIC ELECTIONS.-At the annual com? munication of Charity Lodge, No. C2 A. F. M., convened near Vance's Ferry, S. C., on S itu rd ay, December 17, A. L. 5S70, the fallowing brethren were elected far the ensuing Masonic year: Thomas N. Slawson, W. M.; David Shuler. S. W.; J. Franklin Shuler, J. W.\ A. J. Hydrick. treasur? er; Jacob F.

F. M., h id at Darlington, on the 27t!i Instant, the fallowing brethren were In stalled officers to serve thc next ensuing Masonic year, viz: Junius A. Law, W. M.; William Black? man, S. W.; J. G. Winters, J. W.; M. A. Huggins, treasurer; G. W. Howell, secretary; A. Weinberg, S.D.; Edward L. Gray, J. D.; M. B. Wood and John E. S:hmld, stewards; G. D. C. Huggins, tiler. The roUowlng brethren were, on Tuesday eve? ning last, installed as officers or Kershaw Lodge, No. 29,far the ensulag Masonic year: J. B. Ker? shaw, W. M.; J. D. Kennedy, S. W.; John Ker? shaw, J. W.; R. H. Pogues, S. D.; George Crosby, J. D.; J. I. Vllleplgue, treasurer; J. A. Schr?ck, secretary; S. R. Adams and M. Baum, stewards. A SLOOP-LOAD, OR TUE Urs AND DOWNS OP RICE.-A case of great interest and some diffi? culty, ou a written contract, was brought, yes? terday, before Trial Justice Northrop, la which the amount or $80 was claimed as due far the freight of a certain vessel. A large number of witnesses were examined, by whose testimony it was shown that the sloop Zuleika had been en? gaged to go to Pon Pon River to bring one thous? and bushels of rice to the city, and upon arriving at the mouth or thc creek oa Pon Pon River, the captain or the sloop refased to ascend the creek to thc landing where the rice was, on thc ground- ol bis draft or water, and tho obstruc? tions in thc creek. The defaudants refased to fiat, thc rice down thc creek, and the Zuleika returned to the city. The suit was farthwith brought by the owner of the sloop far his loss or time. Thc contract was admitted by both parties, the plaintiff relying upon the fact that his vessel could not get up the creek, and on the custom or the trade under such circumstances. Thc defen? dants relied upon the representations made by thc captain of the sloop at the lime of entering into the contract, and the fact that thc creek was navigable. The case occupied a great part or the day, and at last the decision wa- reserved. PABOCIHAL SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.-TUC ChrLstmas entertainment of the Cathedral raro chial School took place last evening, at half-pun 7 o'clock, in the room above thc school on Broad street. This large apartment had been prepared far the occasion by a neat stage titted up at the farther end, the body being rilled with rows or seats, whloh, in a few minutes after thc appointed time, wt re filled with visitors. Large numbers of ladies and gentlemen, principally the friends and relations of the achol?is, an of the latter, and most of the Catholic clergy In this city, composed the audience. Professor Otto Muller orenei the entertainment with a performance on the plano, which was followed bj a Christmas carol and two short pieces of acing by the scholars. Thc second part consisted of dramatic-pieces and the recita? tion of a pleasant reverie by Father Ryan, called "The Old Year and the New." The young speakers and actors were well pre? pared with their different roles, and thc perform? ance went off in thc most agreeable manner. During the whole entertainment the hall was crowded to its utmost capacity, and many were unable to obtain even standing room. The au? dience, to judge by the repeated bursts or laugh? ter, enjoyed the occasion quite as much as the actors appeared to do, and the scholars who re* cognized their companions on the stage were in the height h or happiness. They certainly have delightful reminiscences of their Christmas, and we hope that they may carry their happiness through the coming year. THE REVISION OF TUE STATUTE LAW3 OF TnE STATE.-Tue commissioners appointed for the above purpose have presented to the Legislature a portion of the work accomplished, to show that body, In the language or the preface to the Code report, tuc general plan and arrangement or tue same. The statutes or the State are now em? braced in fa titeen large volumes. When revised in the manner indicate 1 by thc commissioners, tliey will bc contained iir a volume or less than six hundred pages, and embody all the iuforma tion, willi appropriate inargliDl notes and index, that may bo required. The difficulties which are to ncsurmonntM IQ a work of this character are very great. The stat ates have been enacted un? der such widely dureront circumstances, referring to such widely different situations, organizations and Institutions, covering a period or nearly two hundred years, that they almost der.v harmonious arrangement and consolidation. Nevertheless, judging from the progress already made, thc' volume when completed will be one of tho most valuable compendiums of the kind ever publ sh? ed in Sooth Carolina, and a welcome addition to every ilga! library in thc State. Thus far tho pub? lished matter embraces ons hundred and sixty six piues, the subjects comprehended being all the laws with reference to the jurisdiction of thc State Legislature, public reports and documents, the State library and other public property, elec? tions or all Kinds, the assessment and collection of taxes, tho militia, the various State officers and mattes ol nuance, au I the c /unties and county officers. Much, If not all, of this laborious work of compilation has been performed by Major D. T. Corbin, th? Uuited States- district attorney and chairman of thejudiciary committee of the State Senate BUSINESS ENVELOPES.-Tne NEWS Job Office ls now prepared to furnish good envelopes, with business cards printed thereon, at-$4 per thous? and.

THE GORDI?F -KNOT. INFORMATION FOR THE UNFORTU? NATE. History of thc Divorce Institution-Thc Proposed Law for Sont lt Carolina. It is not improbable that during: the present session of 'he Legislature a bill will be passed regulating thc subject of divorce-an institution, bj- the way, hitherto unknown In South carolina, and yet one-presuming human nature to be thc same here as elsewhere-the protecting Influences or which will be invoked by hundreds who doubt? less imagine that, In a domestic sense, Satan is still icose and celebrating hi3 Pandemonium down [ below. Thc reason why South Carolina has thus been an exception to a rule followed by many other States ol the Union must be sought In that eminent spirit of conservatism which for two hundred years has animated the leading minds of the people. For instance, it was once remarked by Judge O'Neil: "The mest distressing cases, justifying divorce even upon Scriptural grounds, have been again and again presented to the Le? gislature, and they have uniformly refuged to an? nul the marriage tie. They have nobly adhered to the Injunction, 'Those whom Cod bath joined together let not man put asunder.' Thc tvorking of this stern policy has been to the good of the people and the State,.In every respect." That opinions are greatly diversified on this subject, is attested by the enactments of other States, by the decisions of courts, and legal treatises. Divorce, however, Is no new thing, lt comes to us hoary with tho frosts of antiquity. Five hundred and twenty-three years before Chris:, Spurlns Carvillus Ruga was permitted to repudiate his wife on condition that he would give his children to the Republic of Rome. Histo? ry tells us that divorces thereafter became fre? quent, and were allowed pretty much at thc pleasure or either of thc parties. The Mosaic law, as generally Interpreted, allowed thc hus? band to be thc sole judge of the causes for which he might put away his wife, though many ecclesi? astical writers hold that this liberty was intended to be restricted to the single cause or adultery. This Jewish law ls rounded on tho directions given In the 24th chapter of Deuteronomy, but the ?icrmlsslon therein contained is subject to many obstacles and formalities In modern practice. Our Saviour's declaration to the Phari? see in the 19th chapter or St. Matthew became the foundation or thc law on this subject in Christian countries,and divorces were consequent? ly for a long time allowed In one particular case only. After the Roman Catholic Church, how? ever, had erected matrimony Into a sacrament, they became, as they now are In .Catholic coun? tries, wholly impossible, the only dissolution of marriage being in cares where lt ls void ab initio. In most Protestant countries thc facility of divorce has been so much restored In later times, as to approximate to the heathen practice. In Induna, where the process ls performed with locomotive rapidity, it is worse titan heathen-lt is diabolical. One thing is certain, to wit: That in spite or al' the tenets of the church, of a'l thc 'provisions of the law, of all the customs of society, there ls just as much human wickedness wrapped up In dry goods now ns there was in the time of old Spurius Ruga, and Just as much iniquity on the part of husbands as when Father Adam made Eve sew fig Iearcs for a living, and set her teeth on edge eating forbidden fruit. Men will cou tluue to imagine women to be first-class angels, minus wings, for the first six mouths arter mar? riage, and women will regard corduroys and side whiskers as emblematic of human happiness boiled down lato pounds avoirdupois, until ua b'.T 1 blows his horn; but solong as the one sex drinks lemonade that turns night latches upside down, and the other sex Imbibes toa too strong for human uatnre to bear, the mantle of charity, which should cover a multitude or matrimonial misdeeds, will continue to oe so ragged that you can sec the corners of sin sticking out in every direction. Years ago, when husband and wire kicked out or the traces, thc husband would sometimes put up the other hair at public auction. \ case of th s kind ls recorded as h iving occurred at Car Hule, In England, In 199S, ' irhon one T?iuiup-on" came Into town with bUwife, and by thc bellman announced that he was ab .ut to sell her. She was placed ou a tall chair, with a rope of straw around lier neck, and the affectionate spouse ad* dressed the rollowlug matrimonial advertisement to the assembled crowd: "Gentlemen, I have to offer to your notice my wife Mary Ann Thompson, otherwise Williams, whom 1 mein t o sell to thc highest and fairest bidder. Gentlemen, it ls her wish, as well as mine, to part forever. She has beeu to me only a boru serpent. I took her for my comfort, but she has been to me a domestic curse, a night Invasion and a dally devil. Gentlemen, may God deliver us from troublesome wives and frolicsome women I Avoid them, as you would a mad dog, a roaring Hon, a loaded pistol, chotera morbus or Mount .Etna In an eruption. With ali the faults ot Mrs. Thompson, gentlemen, she has some good trails. She can read novels and milk cows, weep tears until she is as juicy as a watermelon, and the brine stands on her face like the Perspi? ration on thc stde of an iee pitcher; she eau scold her maid Into hysteric-?, and sing Moore's incio dies Uko an angel; makes good rum, gin and whiskey slings, and ls a judge of thc quality as long as she can stand up. Anybody In want of such an article now has the opportunity, and may the blesclnga or Heaven attend him." The good creature, according to thc record, was knocked down for the sum of twenty shillings and a Newfoundland dog. In South Carolina lt is proposed to effect this species or separation between unsympathetic souls more decently, and a bill ror the purpose has been introduced by Mr. Uagood, the member rrom Picken?, aud rererred ?o the Judiciary com? mittee. It ls, practically, a reproduction of the New York statute on the subject, and, lt ls under? stood, will be superseded by another b.ll, which will embrace thc best features of the divorce laws of all the States. One of the new features pro posed Is that alter a divorce has taken place, the parties shall stand in precisely thc same relations as before marriage, possess the same rights, ?ind marry again if they please. In other words, lt is held to bc useless and unjust to compel separated couples to run at large, with uo privilege or being tak^n in out or the cold-living as it were '-fast fettered to a corpse." Again, IE ls proposed to prohibit mere separa? tion from bcd and board. If there ls sufficient cause ror a permanent divorce, lt is held that, tho act should be absolute. The system or limited di vorct's, however, prevails tu some extent in the Northern States. As to the causes or divorce, the following are likely lo be Hie basis of legislation on this branch or the subject : Adultery; impo? tency at the time of making the matrimonial con? tract; sentence and confinement in the Peniten? tiary, Jail or House Of Correction for a certain term of years; desertion for a period or Lom two to live years, (it is two years In Massachusetts, and five yean in Pennsylvania,) except where the desertion was caused by cruelty; barbarous treat? ment by eltlrcr party; gross and confirmed habits of intoxication, contracted alter marriage; and, finally, whore the husband, possessing thc ability,, refuses to provide for the suitable maintenance of the wife and family. What may be the influence of this novel legisla Hou upon the staid, old-fashioned morals or south Carolina remains to be seen. For tho^e who under the new law may make the Drat experiments, the sensation will belike a plunge into ?nice baili. After awhile, however, it muy possibly become fashionable, and we may have a boiling of domes? tic teapots belore our court'.' ad nauseam. One tiling wo predict, namely, that matrimonial barometers will now run down with a vengeance, and household cyclones rage with lempe?tuous power. Divorces will then come in Uko poultices to soothe the troubled souls-or, what may be the next best thing, the rear of perpetual separation so easily secured may act like a bombshell, always ready to explode, and thus frighten the clements or discord luto peace. So mote it be. BILL HEADS printed on fine paper at ?3, $4, $5, $6 50 and $8 50 per thousand, according to size, at THE NEWS Job Office. TUE GRHEN-EYED MONSTER AT WORK.-On Thursday night Henry Lewis went to the house of a woman named Diana Singleton, In Elliott street, with whom he had been living on terms of Intimacy, and npon entering her apartments discovered one of his friends very comfortably ensconced. Henry thereupon became half beside himself with jealousy, and assaulted Diana in thc most brutal manner. The friend succeeded in making a hurried exit. He struck her several times with a piece of wood on the back of her bead, and then made a cut at her with a razor, which inflicted Berere injury on thc race, severing one of her ears so that lt only hung by the skin. Henry was shortly after arrested by Hie police. Upon being brought before the Mayor he was turned over to a trial justice. His examination came oh* yesterday morning before Trial Justice Schroder, who committed him In default ofbsil for trial at tho coming term of the Court of Gene? ral Sessions._^ THE HAPPY STATE OP WEDLOCK.-Nancy Anderson was arrested yesterday morning and brought before Trial Justice John G. Mackey, charged with a breach of the peace againstone A. Anderson. An examination disclosed tho fact that these two wranglers oq thc opposite sides of the court were married and lately living as man and wife, and were still so in thc eyes of the law. A short time after marriage they discovered that their tempers were not the most congenial In the world, ?nd from the wordy war things grew worse until their domestic Intercourse was any? thing but a picture of connubial felicity. A few days ago, Nancy met her lord tn the street and threatened his physical comfort aud bodily liberty In thc most termagant manner. Au appeal to a trial justice was the consequence. At the exami? nation Anderson was discovered not to have given the sort answer to turn away the wrath of his spouse, but had responded with similar threats. The two were, therefore, forthwith bound over to keep the,peace. The couns ?1 of thc justice, tending to p:-ace and reconciliation, was entirely disregarded, and the couple went differ? ent ways in high dudgeon. BUSINESS NOTICE?.
