To prevent this natural turn of American affairs, the clergy have been working through two French Josuits— doth journalists—to stimulate Catholic countries to aid Mexico with their political influence and population.

Mr. Van Buren (with whom Mr, Jas, T. Beady is as. cinted),in addressing ths coust this mo-ning ia support of the order, said, in the caso of Catharine N. Forrest against Fdwin Forrest, an order was made oa the 24h of July, 1856—it was an order reversing the jadgment in part, which had beem obtained in the case, ani ordering ® reference as to a portion of the subject matter. The substance of the order was that it be referrod to Alvin C. Bradley, Fsq., to ascertain the amount of alimony which was to be allowed the pluiutiif, aad what security for the paynient the defendant was to give; also that the referee report the facts ad- duced before him, and any objections to proofs, &c A reference was had on the 16th of June last, ana a report has been made by the referee, whivh is now ia court It is very voluminous, It was filed December 10, 1859, and of course any rule which required aay action on th: part of either party Cig © rum on thatday. On | day the plaintiff served the defendant's counsel with ice simply of the filing of the report, the cause not iu, 00- tioed for further hearing until Eriday last, whea he (Mtr. Van Buren) applied to this Court ‘or a stay of prococd- ings, with a viow to test that question, and to get the in- struction of the Court in reference te the applicability of the rules of the Court to this cage. He applied to the Court on an affidavit of his own, which, if it becomes no cessary to file it, he would ask to amena by substituting the word ‘may’’ for ‘will,’ in the sentonce ‘i will be come necessary,” and in apother place; and as he had been served with a notice from the other side of un appli- cation for an increase of alimony and adiditional coiusel fees, be thought he might as weil bring the matssr bofore the Court, so that both motions migut be disposed of at the ame time. The following is a copy of the affidavit:— Oriy and County of New York, ss,—John Van Buren, of said city, being duly sworn, say#:—That thig is an action brought against the defendant by the plainuitf t» procure a divorce of the marriage contract botween thom, and av allowance for the support of the platatiff, in which suc proceeciugs have been had; thut on the zoth day of J ary, 1852, 4 verdict was rendered tu favor of plaintif in the material issues joined in tho action, aud aw iraing alt moony to the plaintiit at and after the rate of tures thos sand dollars a year, on which said verdict and judg meat were eutered on or about ths 3ist day of Jaauary, 1852 dissoiving the marriage contract between the pluutif and said defendant, and directing said defendant to pay the eaid plainuit $3,000 a year from the commencement of this action, aud the costs of said action; that an appeal was taken by eaid defendaat from said judgment, ou ex ceptions to the decisious of the justive who tried Said ao tion, and rendered said judgment, on which appeal the Court at General Term, after argumout was ha’ thereon, affirmed said judgment so far as the same dissolved the marriage contract between the said defendaut and the said plaintiff, but reversed, vacated and aunulled the same avd ‘every part thereof so far as alimony was adjudged to iat, and, by an order bearing date the 24th day of July, 1856, directed that it be referred to Alyin C.

Brady; that the engagements of this deponent and of Mr. Brady ‘ure such, and the report to be revie wed is 80 yolu- m nous, that it will require, in the judgment of this depo- nent, at least thirty days to prepare and sefve said case.

Mr. Van Buren continued to say uponfthat afldavit his Honor the Judge made an order tor the plaiguif to show cause why the defendant sbould not be aliowed thirty days to make a caso, and staying the proce lings in the meantime. The Court would see that the order to show cause was based on the affiiavit which he (Mr. Van Buren) had just read. Tho oniy other referepce now | necessary is to the order of the Court on 234 July last, respecting the alimony, and he had not supposed at tue time this aotice was given fora stay of proceystings that odjection would be made, as under any circumstances, out serving @ notice, the defendant wes catitiod to twenty days.

Under all the circumstances it would be an outrage on the rights of the | defendant, and would involve the case in inoxtricable con- fusion.

We aye nothing to do with newspaper articles, and sofar as we aro concerned we would ask that the affidavits on our side be not published; but as to the aiidavit of the learned counsel we have no d—indeed, we would prefor it wae. This interposition of the defendaut is to keep the plaintiff out of her subsistence. The defendant has sworn to procrastinate and keep her out of her alimony; and the counsel for the plaintiff have a right to endeavor to prevent that procrastination, and to diminish the 8 under which she suifers. The learned counsel, Van Buren, has ch’ d the plaintiffs counsel with endeavoring to prejudice the minds of some one or other of the Judges of this Court; that is an observation that should not have beon made.

SINCLAIR, dec. 16, 1889, Mr. O'Copor, on the part of the plaintiff, said that the fence in this Case ts manifestly perverse—its whole pro- gress with consciousness that it is without merit aud without excuse. Its aim is, by technical exceptions, to Tetard the footsteps of justice during the whole life of tho planwif. The detendant’s guilt 13 not only found of record by ibe verdict of a jury and tho judgment of the Court, but it is substantially confessed. The witness who proved it Was Dot crogs examined, Lor was the truth of her state- ment questioned on the trial, ror has it been since denica. Whikt living in matrimony with bis wife, aud, as ho swears, in full confidence of her purity and’ affection, bo was for years the habitual occupant, in the day Ume, of rooms in a notorious house of prostitution. None but per- tons of the loosest morals and of the grossest tastes will oepy that such conduct amounts to guilt of the most loath some character, The entire innocence of the plain- tif is not only found of record in the like solemn manner, but it 18, to all fair and just minds, mace manifest by acts on the part of the defendant, show. ing that he is conscious of ber innocen: perge veringly sought to try and convict her by the judgment of | # political booy iu Pennayivavia, where beither pariy bad ever resided, Where no witness for or against her resided, nd Where no ill conduct was « commit d by ber Wituessce to itDpe r total wautot veracity sha the improper means which bad been employed to precure their testimony were so apparent that the jury discredited them. Aud 80 Cons:ions were the defendant and bis counsel that the jury rightly discredited these esse, that they made to ‘motioa for a now trial on grovnd. From the moment her iono made manifest, iu 1862, he cefured to allow her any means of suppcrt until compelled to do so in July, 1869. By forsively aseailing persons who oll»red he> any courtesy, Provouncing her unabie to pay ber bow, and of un chaste manners, he edught, during this interval, to expel her trom virtuous society and to deprive hor even of shelter. Without laying before the court the least proof of ony improper act ou her part, he sougbt to overwhelm. the plainuff with vexation and expense by a rambling commission to California, experting to pick up iu a distaut ciime some worthless person to “bear witness” in like manner as his four employés did on the trial, ih evident intent to defoat thy justice of the Court, he , during the progress ofthe case, withdrawn as much of his property as poesible from its jarisdiction, and has further essayed to defeat justice eutirely by pretended gifts, and by dispositions of the character condemned as being made “with intent to binder, delay and defraud creditors.”” Being aman of vast wealth, living in the best style ina stately, well furnished mausion in the city of Philadelphia, it is his moral and social duty to maia tain and support the woman who spent her brightest years as bis wile and in his service, and that, too, in such a man ber #s may afford ber every indacementto a pure and ro- apectuble course of iife. Ry refusing to coutribute anything to her support, and persecuting her with the reproach of poverty and with imputations of dishonor, he has proved himself to be lost to all senso of justice. The contest touching the alimony is most discreditable. If ho thought her guilty and dosired another opportanity to prove it, he could have bad the judgment of the court of last retort on his prayer fora new trial years ago. The alimony then fixed was moderate and’ rea- gonable; he bad but to acquiesce in it, and ho heed not to have paid a cout until bis’ right to a new trial was determined. [he was not ontitled to anew trial on the merits, and the plaintiff was entitled by the judgment of the court of Jast resort to stand wcquitted, he should have biushed to allow her less than $3,000 a year, considering the extent of his property. Bat on the assumption that the judgment for a divorce is to stand forever anreversed, hé bas kept up the litigation for seven years, merely tw avoid a payment which, if that judgment 's to stand, he ought trmuke without compulsion. He now announces his intent to pursue this samo course of idgation, on the mere pecuniary qnestion, for many years to come. No favor or facility oiight to be granted a suitor pureuing such a course; and an order should be made at this stage of the case requiring an interim allowauce at the rate fixed by tho referee, with a proper allowance for This is no more than just, even if all his ex hould be uitimately allowed. The course of vexation and delay pursued 13 manifestly and avowedly with a design to defeat the plaintitt’s just claim; and if bs couneel’s views of the law as to arrears are sound, any little technical Piet eg which might lead to a rehearing would accomplish that design. Mr. James T. Brady, on bebalf of the dofendant, con- tended that the delay In tho final judgmont in thi Woe not occasioned by nor the desire of the defendant, but, on the contrary, as he and his counsel were confident of ultimate success, it was his anxiety that the matter should reach the court of lust resort as speedily a3 pose. tile. Counsel recounted the cuveral occasions of the do lays, and stated that in ono instance only was a delay raade at the request of the defeudant, and. that was svtien Mr. Van Buren waa in Europe. Mr. Brady continued for some time to urge upon the Court the Justaces of their du- mand for time to make a case on the Referoo’s report.
