The cheapness and facility of travelling to Paris have occasioned lately an immense number of applications for passports to France at the Passport Office of the French Embassy. The number issued last week was so very great that the office was constantly crowded Rid] applicants. The Royal Court of Paris, presided over by M. Seguier, pronounced its sentence on Monday in the case of Mr. Swift, against the preten- sions of Miss Kelly, whom that gentleman married in London in 1830. Miss Kelly contended that the decision of the House of Lords, de- claring the marriage valid, was not binding on her in France, on the plea that her mother, Lady Kelly, had not consented to it. The Court, after hearing the pleadings of Messrs. Delangle and Jolivet, and the conclusions of M. Delapaline, the Attorney-General, con. finned the judgment, which declared the marriage perfectly valid.
