Under these circumstances, she wrote to er father, who visited Boston in the month of ugust, 1849, and with the consent of her husband, turned to Kentucky under the protection of her ther, and has ever since resided in his house. he further alleges, that the defendant was fully pprised, both befi subsequent to her mar- jore ge, by her physician, that she woild be unable reside in Boston, the place of his nativity, suf ing under the pulmonury disease that threatened r, and survive the effects of that rigorons cli- te ; but in compliance with his wishes she de- mined to go to Boston and make the experi- ot.

It is implied in the simple statement of the facts. If it were necessary to fortify the jurisdiction of this Court. end to place it upon other grounds, distinctly recognised in other adjudged cases, it would be sufficient to allude to the facts, Uhat the contract of marriage wasentered into and coasum- mated in the State of Kentucky; that for three months thereafter the parties resided here; that the act complained of was perpetrated within the limits af the State, and that the defendant has re- ceived actual notice of the pendency of this suit, by a pereonal ser ot a copy of the bill. {tis freely admitted that serious doubts may be entertained as to the effect which a decree, a vin- culo, in a case like this, may have extra territo- riam. Such questions can only be disposed of when they arise. lt is sufficient to determine that sucha decree will be binding, fer all purposes, within the State of Kentucky. DECRER. The jury empannelled and sworn in this case, having, by their verdict, found the facts required by law to be true, is ordered and decreed, that the plaintiff be and she is hereby divorced from her husband, T. Bigelow Lawrence, and restored toall the rights and privileges of an unmarried woman; and it is further ordered and decreed that she hereafter be known and called by the name of Sallie Ward. The Case of Professor Webster in Boston. [From the Boston Traveller, Juno 18.) The decision was rendered in the case of Pro- fessor Webster, this morning, by Chief Justice Shaw. He said that the court had given to the subject the most thorough and patient examination. The first point to be considered was, the objec- tions that had been taken to the jurisdiction of the court. He proceeded, therefore, to review the law in it lication to the case. The law required that capital cases should be tried by_a full court ; and the evident intention of the Legislature, in meen ee provision, was, that questions of law might be fully considered, and finally decided, as they arise during the trial, so as to avoid the incon- bys = 2d of new a, ka en, jin, the prisoner opportunity to take Sxseptiony before the sentence, so that, Ms the sentence was pronounced, it was to be sumed that every question of law had been Si ul; considered and settled. t was to be rene bered that when new facts arose, or any material errors were discovered, the law so tenaciously guarded the rights of the accused party, as to make provision for a revision and setting aside of a jndg- ment of the court. But it was evident that the Legislature intended that this should only be applied Where some material error had occurred. ‘ith this view of the law, the court would proceed to coneider the objections which had been made to the ey mage ‘The first objection was, the alleged want of ju- jiction, on account of irregularities in the mu- i urt. And here, the Chief Justice read the exceptions taken against the jurisdiction of the court, and proceeded-to review the argument pre- sented by the prisoner’s counsel, on the points named in ‘he bill of exceptions. The first question was, what was necessary to give the court juris diction? A compliance with laws merely de- signed to give notice to parties, was not necessary to e jurisdiction. Previous to the statute of 1 the Supreme Court had exclusive jurisdiction in all criminal cases. By that statute, it was pro- vided that all but capital cases might he tried by ri nic the Court of Common’Pleas. Afterward, in order to avoid the inconvenience of grand jeries attend- ing upon the Supreme Court, it was provided that they should attend the Court of Common Pleas, and that their indictments should be certified to the Supreme Court. But this provision did not then only to the county of Suffolk. ¢ revised staiutes also gave the Supreme Judi- cial Court cognizance ef all cases, both civil and criminal. By the act of 1844, the provision con- cerning grand juries was applied to the county of Soflolk, and the grand jury was required to attend the Municipal Court, and in case of indictment, it was to be sentup to this court. It was under this act that these exceptions were . He there- fore read this statute, and reviewed Its provisions. The Supreme Judicial Court, he said, had still, by this act, cognizance of all capital cases. The Com- mon Pleas and the Municipal Court had jurisdie- tion oniy so far as the pesag indictments was concerned, and no farther. hen an indictment was found, the Supreme Court had jurisdiction, and nothing more was necessary than to have the fact legally certified to them. No adjudication was necessary in the Manicipal Court. if accu: was arraigned, it was to answer to this court; and, if not, it was for this Court to issue process for his arrest. There was but one Court which had cognizance of the case, and but one custody. In the case of the Common- wealth vs. Dow, the indictment was sent up at the wrong time, re it was held that the Court had cognizance of the case, notwithstanding. The mode of bringing the case_before the Court was immeterial, and did not affect the jurisdiction of the Coart. The Court decided in that case, that the jurisdiction of the Court did not depend upon the particular time of entry, but upon cognizance of the subject matter thereot! The next point was the objection that was taken that there was no adipdlenien of the indictment before the Municipal Court. But euch adjudication was not necessary. The sending up of the indict- ment was @ mere ministerial act, and did not re- wire the action of the Court at all. lt was a duty devolving on the clerk. In regard to the provision of the act as the indictment to be sent up et the next term of the Supreme Court, or at any intermediate session of the Court, the obvious design of that statute was to pi if the Sapreme Judicial Court was in actual session, adjourning from day to day, the entry of the indictment might be made in this Court at any time when it was in session till the next term. It might be done, as well as in former proceedings, when the Grand Jury was in attendance upon this Court, and their indictment brought direetly inte it. In regard to the wbjection that the cupy of the indictment sent to the Sheriff, and the process of the Sheriff were without seal, the Court could find no provision in the law requiring the seal. Moreover, t # sufficient argument against thie. as wel next object that the Sheri must retarn the process to the Court that iss it to say that these were ministerial offices, and did not afleet the jurisdiction of the Court. The clerk had sent up the original indictment to this court, ond therfore there was no objection on this ground. If it was etill farther contended that the proper officer should tranemit the record of the Municipal Court, if that referred to the prosecuting officer, it was a mistake. ‘There was no officer in the case but the clerk, and he was not to deliver the indictment to any other person, but to keep it in his own custody. He was clerk of both courts. It was his duty to keep the indictment in his official custody. His sending it up was only transferring it from one side of his office to the other. And it was not necessary to the jurisdiction of this court that any such record should be brought into it. In regard to the argument of the counsel for the government, that the prisoner had waived his ta to any of these objections by not making them be- fore judgment was entered, the Court had consi- deredtbe matter, thus far, merely respected the eyed of jurisdiction, but allowing that the court ad jurisdiction, the prisoner might have the bene- fits of actual defects in the proceedings. But the court hed not ti ht it necessary to enter into the question of waiver of the prisoner's rights, by pro- ceeding to trial, because all the requisitions of the law hud been substantially complied with, and er.

Tle had come to this conclusion himself, since the decision was made up by the court. ‘The last error alleged was, that the ment of the Court, and the menner of its entry by the clerk, were illegal. It had not been the practice of this court, he said, to direct the form in which the jadg- ment should be recorded; but this had been entered up m the usual form. It was not for the Court to bx the time or place of the execation; ~~ e to the objection made egainst wording femenee, the Court did not regard the form as er- roneour.

For the past tem years, Mr. Buchanan has been an industrious student in the dramatic art. A commission mer- chapt in New Orleans, he has deveted his leisure to the dramatic field, and having built » beautiful thea- tre for private performances, became the President of the Histrionic Association of that city. At that place he had the opportunity, very frequently, of appearing before the most fashionable society of that metropolis, and his triumphs were many.
