ENTRY OF THE FRENCH INTO ROME. ROME, Ocr. 30, EVENING. This evening, the 29th French regiment of the line entered Rome, and was silently and sullenly received by a large crowd, but there was no openly hostile manifestation. The Garibaldiana are in sight of Rome, being three miles distant. A proclamation to the Romans, dated yesterday, has been issued by General Failly. The proclama tion says :—" The Emperor Napoleon sends an ex peditionary corps to protect the Holy Father and the Pontifical throne against the attacks of bands of revolutionists. The French will respect the persons, customs, and laws of the Romans." The Pontifical troops are leaving this city to re-occupy the places which have been evacuated by the Garibaldiana. It is stated that Garibaldi has returned to Monte Rotondo, in order to confer with the repre sentative of the Italian goven who has been asst there to meet him. 'ends have gono to seek an interview with the general, in order to dissuade him from persisting in his enter prise, and from coming into collision with the French troops. PARIS, Nov. 1, Evonsc.

DUBLIN, FRIDAY NIGHT. Colonel Warren was to-day found guilty of treason felony. Sentence was deferred. THE REFORM LEAGUE AND FENIANISM. The adjourned meeting of the committee of the Reform League was held last night at the offioes, Adelphi-terrace, Mr. DIXHIUMAN in the chair. There was a very large attendance. The lizoirrAriv (Mr. Howell) said that after the public announcement in the daily papers of that morning relative to the retirement of Mr. Thus. Hughes, M.P. for Lambeth, from the office of vice-president of the League, it was his duty to inform the council that when such resignation was sent to the League, Mr. lingbes desired to retire quietly. The reasons given were, first, because the lion. gentleman was not in favour of the ballot, and, secondly, because he was opposed to the League on the question of the three cornered constituencies. The debate on the resolutions and amendment intro duced last Wednesday was then resumed by Mr. ACLAND, who commenced by referring in strong and denunciatory terms io an article which appeared in a daily paper, charging the League with being the avowed champion of assassination and rebellion. FINLEN said that, until he bad seen in the papers the remarks made by Messrs. Cooper, Lucraft, and Odger, he did not believe that the council was composed of such " pure and bright metal." The down-trodden Irish people were told that they should not have attempted physical force until every other means had b, en tried, but he thought that they bad used almost every other means, and certainly they could not be expected to have faith io any moral movement after the failure of O'Connell's agitation. Adopting the words attributed to a speaker at the meeting ou Wednesday week, lie would say, " Let Fenianism eo on and prosper." They, as English radicals, ought not to be the men to throw themselves in the way of Irishmen who would be free men. They ought to be the last to throw obstacles iu the progress of Irishmen, and to throw water on their hot enthusiasm. They sympathised with the Poles, they loved and honoured the names of Kos ciusko and Kossuth, and therefore let their words to the Fenian' be words of cheer, and let them give that benedic tion which they, as members of a plodding race, might be able to afford. (Cheers.). Mr. ACIAND protested against the illegality of Mr. Pinion's speech. . . . • Mr. MroTrrintsiign said Fenianisin was a bastard move ment of American birth. The mission of the American Iri■h in this country was to commit meaningless murders, and they were therefore deserving of maven's' reprobation. He believed that the Fenian, to a man would go against Garibaldi, and in favour of the temporal power of the Papacy, and as proof of his assertion he pointed to the conduct of the Irish at Hyde-park during the Garibaldian riots. Mr. DAVIM protested against the League becoming a mere debating society. He believed the object of the vote given on the occasion of the reading of Mr. Beides's letter was to oppose the introduction of extraneous matters into the council. Their conduct bad been wilfully mis construed, and they had been maligned and traduced for piuty purposes. Hehoped that with the view of preserving the unity of the League, they would put an end to this discussion, and adhere to their platform of manhood suf frage and the ballot. (Rear, hear.) . . Upon the proposiiiiin that Mr. Guedalla's amendment should he withdrawn, and that it shmld, with certain eineudations, be submitted as a resolution, • long and stormy discussion ensued. An effort on the part of the chairman, and those immediately around him, to restore order, was impeded by the violent opposition of Mr. Uolding, who iusiated that the course proposed to be taken was a piece of cowardice on the part of the League. Eventually the chainwin suomeded in putting the motion sus follows:—" That this council emphatically and indig nantly repudiates any sympathy with assassination or secret organization for political objects, and in proof of such assertion, refers with confidence to its past career and its official manifestoes." Mr. Oix:rit, on the part of Mr. Mantle, withdrew the reeolution proposed at the last meeting by that gentleman. The resolution was then put and carried almost unani mously. The CHAIRMAN was exceedingly glad that the League bad thus vindicated its position, and that its friends outside were spared the humiliation of being dragged through the mud of one of the most questionable movements of modern times. The proceedings terminated with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. Arrestrren MCR nut. —Early yesterday morning a determined attempt at murder was committed by Mrs. Marianne Miller, residing at 20, St. George's road, Borough, upon Mary Cattermole, aged GA, a servant engaged in the family. It appears that Mrs. Cattermole had attended Mrs. Miller upon each occasion of her con finement, and for the past twelve months as domestic ser vant, living in the house with the family. On Thursday it was remarked by a neighbour that Mrs. Miller appeared to he either under the influence of liquor or insanity. Mrs. Miller told the poor old woman that .he thought it was time she (the servant) was out of the world. At half-pest six yes terday morning Mr. Miller had left home to attend to his business, and Mrs. Miller and her servant were alone in the kitchen. The latter was lighting the fire, when her mistress came behind her and struck her a violent blow on the head with a broom, and then seizing a razor inflicted a terrible gash on her forehead and then on her throat. The poor woman managed to get into the street, and was found sitting on the doorstep of the next door, blood gushing from her. She was conveyed to Guy's Hospital, but it was found that the wounds were of so serious a character Milt scarcely a hope is entertained of her recovery. On the way to the hospital she had just strength enough to ask if her children were safe, evidently thinking that an attempt would be made upon their lives also. Mrs. Miller is in custody. THE FENIAN TRIALS AT MANCHESTER. MANCHESTER, Nov. 1. The fifth day's trial of the five principal Fenian prisoners was resumed in the Crown Court, at nine o'clock this morning, before Mr. Justice Blackburn and Mr. Justice Mellor. The crowd outside the Assize Courts was much less than on the four previous days of the week, probably owing to the rain ; but the scene within the building was, if possible, still more animated, the presence of the soldiery giving the building the appearance of • garrisoned citadeL The attendance was the greater in the expecta tion that Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., would make his de fence of his clients Allen, Goa d, and Shore. The judges took their seats punctually at nine o'clock. Mr. Seymour then addressed the jury. In the oourse of it he adverted to the evidence of the witness John Thompson, the policeman who followed in the cab, and who spoke as to the question of time ; he also spoke of the pursuit and capture of Allen, who was somewhat brutally treated by the people. There was an alibi in regard toShore. Hedid not say it was • strong alibi, but it was worthy of attention. William Trueman, anerther policeman, spoke with regard to Allen and Shore, bet with respect to Shor e be did l not speak of pis h dotng Dt h e in trett ie fetl aid out e an w th A a l t e lle a n t o t tiLd noltl:lngt e vet left hand. Other witnesses, spoke to Allen holding an axe hasuasr in can hand and a revolver or revolvers in the other. Mr. Seymour commented severely upon the dis hiteeen the vtlatenan; and the variant* be ,. = ali the i dailhattions sworn to before the magistrates and the evidence given in this court. He asked the jury to give Allen and the other prisoners the benefit of any doubt that justly arose from these diecrepancies. William Car rington gave no particular evidence, but spoke of seeing Allen shoot Sproeson in the foot. Baxter and Howard were witnesses from the gaol, and they took up the matter at a later period, especially the pursuit and capture of the prisoners. The next three witnesses he would deal with very shortly. They were the two lads Pattinson and Mulholland, and Hughes, and they spoke to the turning of the van and the firing at or hammering at the lock. l'attinson actually spoke to seeing the prisoners loading their revolvers whilst they were running ! lie mike(' the jury if they could credit such a statement? Mulholland was in training for the law, and there was one qualification which be pos. tested, namely, that he admirably got up hie brief. He gave his evidence, however, with such glibness and levity that he asked the jury to be careful how they gave credit to his stieements. Mr. Seymour passed quickly over the evidence of several witnesses, including H.lliday, Hughes, Pickup, Griffiths Elizabeth Robinson, Mayer, Sperr y, Munn, and Knowles. Upon the latter witness Mr. Sey mour was particularly severe in his strictures, because of the expression that the prisoner whom he saw at Albert street station appeared to be "playing " with his chains. Of the evidence of Kate Riley lie bad nothing to say, and would pass on to notice the evidence of Charles Thomas, who if not guilty of perjury was guilty of something almost equally criminal, and that was keeping back the truth. Before the magistrates this witness said that Allen seemed to be the ringleader, that he was firing pistols and smashing the van door, and that he had a hammer in one hand and a pistol in the other. Before the magistrates lie spoke of random shots only ; in this court he spoke with great apparent particularity, and swore to • deliberate aim on the part of Allen. He appealed to the jury to consider whether the evidence of such a wit ness was worthy of a moment's grave consideration. When asked, " Did you keep this evidence back ?" the witness, with a grin, replied, '' I did." What could be the motive for such wickedness? He had heard of the reward, and had tried to swear away the life of one of the prisoners. The infamy of this men's conduct was only rivalled by that of the woman Jenman in London, who had disgraced her sex by similar conduct. Passing by the evidence of the witness Hulley, Mr. Seymour came to that of Batty, whom he did not accuse of deliberate misrepresentation, but he did charge him with considerable exaggeration. Mr. Batty said he saw a man, whom he identified as Shore, and whom he described as seeing in a stooping posture, lifting a stone. The witness was inaccurate, for in cross-examination he said that his impression was that he was " going to lift" the stone, and that, while stooping, • big stone fell upon his head. If so, it was extraordinary that he should be able also, as the witaess stated, to rise up and give direc tions, as if he were a ringleader, to persons upon the bank. He submitted that is would he dangerous for the jury to give eredence to such a fanciful and imaginative account of what took place. He came now to treatof the evidence of the witnesses who described what took place inside the van. The first of these witnesses wasEromaHalliday,and her evidence pressed forcibly against his client Allen. Halliday deposed that she saw the pistol aimed at the unfortunate man Brett ; that she caught Brett by his coat tails and pulled him down, and that as he stooped the fatal pistol went off ; so that lied she not pulled him down Brett would not have met with a mortal wound from that shot which was aimed at the lock. This was one view of her evidence. But did she pull Brett down? Wheu before the magistrates this witness swore one thing, and in this court she swore another. She was an alarmed and scream. hug woman, frail, ImM-ring, on her way to gaol, twice con victed, and her evidence was utterly at variance with that of the other woman in the can, Cooper, who was also de graded in character, and under a charge of felony, and she said that the shot which killed Brett was not fired through the ventilator at all. She pointed to a higher part of the van as the point through which the shot came. She said that Brett did not stoop down, but that he was standing when the shot was fired which brought him down. Cooper did not ooutirni Halliday as to the aim by Allen, but upon every point of significance her evi dence was the very antipodes of that given by that witness. What could be said of these startling contradictions In this overwhelming difficulty would they not take • favourable construction of the dim crepanciee, with a view to a mit4ation of the offence with which these men were charged ? There was another woman who gave evidence, Frances Armstrong. Before the magistrates she spoke of her belief that Allen was one of two men who were behind the van, and that the other man hail dark clothes. According to her evidence the man who tired the pistol could not be Alen, fur nature never grew a moustache upon his lip, and the man whom she sow had a moustache. He ought to be grateful that this witness had been called. Did she speak the truth? Deal with it as they liked, if there was any truth in her evidence, Allen did not fire the fatal shot. Mr. Sey mour adverted next to the marks upon the van and the position of the ventilators, with the view of showing I that the evidence of one of the boy witnesses as to seeing the man in a blue tie through one of the ventilators ' was not reliable. The evidence of the surgeon, Mr. Wood ' cock, proved that Mr. Batty's impression was unfounded when he spoke to the stone falling upon Shore's head, for his wound was proved to have been mineral by a police man's baton, and not by a stone, and it wee the wound he received when flying from the police. But his flying from the police did not prove that he was connected with this o ff ence. He asked the jury not to lay too much stress on the pursuit of Shore. The evidence of the wit now Dickin did not add touch to the facts. Dickin's evi dence affected Gould ; and why should their minds be dis tracted from the real facts of the case, which were quite strong enough and serious enough to require the utmost judgment of the jury? Why was it necessary to import into the case the facts of the 11th September, as to whe ther or not Gould was upon that day in the street, and as to whether or not he was acquainted with the men who hail escaped ? It did not by any n cans follow that because Gould knew Kelly and Deasy, therefore he was endeavouring to effect their rescue upon the 18th. One thing was clear—that the opportunity of the policeman of seeing Gould was very slight. He did not say that this matter had been introduced to create prejudice, but he asked the jury to dismiss it trout their minds as not of sufficient importance to deserve grave con sideration. Mr. Seymour next referred to the fact in favour of Allen that he did not use hisrevolver upon his pursuers, and that he fired that shot at the ground which struck Sprosson. With regard to Gould, the effect of the evidence called for him in substance was this. Gould did not deny that lie was crossing that field. His ease was that he went up to Belle V ue ; and in any view of the case that was nut an improbable thing. It would not be at all &Math to sug gest a purpose in his going there which would keep him away from complicity in the outrage. Further, his case was that when the policeman Thompson drove up in the cab for help to the gates of the prison, lie was there speaking with the family of a person with whom he was acquainted. If so, then, though he came so near the scene and though he was caught in the field and at once surrendered, for he gave no difficulty to his pursuers, yet still, upon the evi dence, and remembering also the weakness of the case for the prosecution, it would be their duty to return a verdict which would render Gould no longer amenable to the capital charge. He hail called before them Miss Flanagan, and they huh beant her evidence. He confessed he did think she wee subjected to an amount of pressure upon many points which might have been more pardonable in a given event. She gave her evidence before the magistrates, and it was one of the remarkable facts in this cue that a new law which allowed prisoners to call witnesses in their own defence had just conic into operation, and the wit nesses might be bound over by the committing magis trate, and their costs allowed by the country. It was • merciful use of that law which allowed the postponement of the case fora day or two, that the benefit of it might be given to the accused. But there was one fact which sprang from it ; the crown had her evidence in print ; they hail had it for weeks ; and if Miss Flanagan could be successfully opposed upon anything touching her personal character, or her credibility, or the reliance to be placed on her evidence, the crown and its advisers haul ample and abundant opportunity. She got into the box, and sai.l she did not wish to 'give the name of a merchant in Manchester to whose children she was governess, but would write it down for the learned Attorary-GeneraL But of course the name was asked, Allen asked where were Barker, Emmett, and others who stood in the dock in defence of their country ? He proposed to review the evidence, but the judges stopped him. He then declared himself, in the presence of Almighty God, innocent. He did not say this. seeking for mercy ; he would not have it if offered ; he would die for his country ; he had done his duty to his country. He concluded by thanking his counsel and Mr. Roberts, and said his real name was William Philip Allen. Larkin said no oue could regret Brett's death more than he did, and he called God to witness that he did not use pistols, or go there to take life, though he certainly did go there to give assistance to those noble heroes. KeUy and Deasy. The man that had taken Brett's life had sot been taken—they had not got him. He had had a fair trial, and he forgave those that had sworn his life away. Gould said that every witness against him was perjured. His name was Michael O'Brien, county Cork, and be was an American citizen. Ireland, with its beautiful scenery, was capable of sustaining treble its present starving popu lation, awl he charged its miseries upon the British aria. tocrary, who be hoped would be driven from the country. Mr. Justice Blackburn said this could do no good, and he advised the prisoner for his own sake not to say it. Gould said be preferred to say it. He hoped if his blood was shat, his countrymen would rise a hundredfold to do his memory and his country justi.x. Msguire said all the witnesses had perjured themselves. He had been away from his country ten years to India, China, and Japan, but having returned, he came here on furlough. He would admit that be had been drinking, but his was a false identification. He had never gone out of the house all day. Shore said he was innocent of Brett's blood. He had no intention of taking life, and had nothing to do with it. If something of this kind had been done in America to rescue Jefferson Davis, or in Italy to rescue Garibaldi, it would have been considered a bold and daring action, and have been applauded ; but in Eng- land it was a crime. He should leave the world without a stain upon his conscience. He was an American citizen, and belonged to Ohio. His but words should be, " God save Ireland." Could and several other of the prisoners reverently re. petted the words. TES SENTENCE. The usual proclamation was then made, and both Judges put on the black caps. Mr. Justice Mellor, addressing the prisoners, said—You have been severally convicted, after a full, patient, and impartial investigation, of the crime of wilful murder. No person who has witnessed these proceedings can doubt the propriety of that verdict upon the evidence that has been given before the jury. Your crime was attended by circumstances of peculiar audacity In the daytime iu the immediate vicinity of this populous city, you sue: seeded in rescuing prisoners from the custody of the law, This is • crime which strikes at the very foundations of civil society ; and were it possible that it could be com mitted without bringing down condign punishment upon its perpetrators, it would deprive the subjects of the realm of all sense of security for their lives and property, and would completely throw us Lack into a reign of terror and violence. The unfortunate man Charles Brett, whom you killed, was not au ordinary citizen ; he was a police man charged with the custody of persons who were com mitted upon serious of enoes against the law, and you made Min the victim of your violence, because, in the courageous execution of his duty, he would not yield to your unlawful threat.. I quite believe that none of you entertained any actual malice against the individual Charles Brett ; and 1 doubt not that you would have much preferred that he should have yielded the keys and suffered you to rescue the prisoners wham sem"e you had con spired to effect. While I say this, lam not the less per fectly convinced that all of you had resolved, at may risk and by any amount of dangerous violence and outrage, to accomplish your object, and that, in fact, Charles Brett was murdered because it was essential to the completion of your common design that he should be. So far as the interests of the community are concerned, there is no offence which can be committed of a grayer nature, or which demands nt the hands of justice more exemplary punishment. There is but one sentence which the law assigns to the offence. It is not my sentence, but it is the sentence of the law. I hare not the power to modify it. nor to discriminate between the various perpetrators of the offence. I should be deluding you into • false security if I were to hold out to any of you any expectation that your lives may be 'pared, or that you can derive any advantage from the points of law which were urged by your counsel. I beseech you therefore most earnestly to apply yourselves with all diligence to make your peace with God. Repair, I entreat you, in penitence and prayer, to the cross of Christ, from which no penitent sinner was ever spurned sway. I ha- e now only to perform the solemn duty which de volves upon me, to pale upon you the sentence of the law. That sentence is that you, and each of you, be taken hence to the place whence you came, and thence to • place of exe cution, and that you be there hanged by the neck until you shall be dead, and that your bodies be afterwards Intrital within the precincts of the prison wherein you were laid confined after your reapeetive convictions ; and may God, in His infinite mercy. have mercy upon you. Before the prisoners left the bar, they reached over and shook hands with Messrs. Jones, Cottingham, and Roberts. The Court adjourned at 20 minutes past 8 o'clock. A telegram from our Dublin correspondent last, l night says :- -"The wounded policemen are still alive, but Kenna is rapidly sinking. The corporation of Dublin have voted 1001. for the benefit of the families of these men, and have opened a personal subscription for the same purpose.

After reading the letter his lordship said—l doubt ex tremely whether this would be evidence, and, in the next place, I don't think it will help you. Mr. Seymour said he thought it his duty to lay it before the court. He proceeded to comment on the evidence of Ridgway, who had been examined that morning, and who, though he saw the firing through the ventilator, did not identify Allen, but identified another man. He asked the jury to add that to the evidence of the woman Armstrong, and to other facts of the case, and pause while it was yet in their power. Under trying circumstances he had done his duty. To make this place or this occasion the place of the scene of war or headlong comments upon the policy of others would not he becoming in him. When a man became an actor and a dramatist, he ceased in a court of judos to be what to his (Mr. Seymour's) notion the English advocate ought to be. He hoped that, when this trial became a matter of history, it would be said of those who represented the prisoners at the bar that they had contributed to the maintenance of British justice, and that they hail endeavoured to help the jury and the court to a right conclusion. He that was the Searcher of Hearts el..ne knew that he had been ani mated by no other intention. He had wished that out of this great trial, this solemn occasion, British justice should come in all its purity, without a murmur and without • stain. lie knew how sensitive were the feel ings of his countrymen, and how every act would be read and scanned by other eyes and hearts that beat with those whom he represented behind him in the dock. He hoped the verdict of the jury would go forth with the respect of the community, and come back to them with the sanction of every civilised country. Mr. Serjeant O'Brien then addressed the jury on behalf of Larkin and Maguire. The Attorney-General having spoken, Justice Blackburn finished summing up at a quarter past six. After retiring for about an hour, the jury re turned with a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. On the usual question why sentence of death should not be passed, all the prisoners in turn made rambling state ments.

THE FANCY BREAD Questrion.—A meeting has this week been held at Leicester in reference to the bakers and the "fancy bread question. The chairman, Mr. T. Emery, in opening the meeting, congr a tulat e d those present upon the improved aspect of the question. Notwithstanding they bad met with seine adverse deci sions before the magistrates, they had gained ground, and had a clearer course before them, and knew what their opponents intended to do. Five convictions had been ob tained against bakers for the sale of bread without weigh ing ; but with reference to the summonses which bad been ' taken out against them for delivery without scales and weights, they had not been so successful, and the same remark might also be applied to the action taken with re ference to fancy bread. There was an uncertainty as to the true nature of fancy bread, and that could not be de termined until the question bad been tried in the Court of • Queen's Bench. The movement in Leicester, so far as it had gone, had accomplished great good, and had succeeded in improving the condition and urges of the trade, and he might say that there had been an improvement in the weight of the bread and in the size of the loaves. He was surprised at the course taken by those con nected with the trade, in the actions tried be fore the magistrates ; there seemed to be a determination to sell the bread in any way rather than observe the fair usages of trade. Acoordiug to their evi -1 deuce, fancy bread was quite different to what it was in other towns. Fancy bread in Nottingham was considered to be bread made of milk, fine Sour, butter , and such like . ingredients, and not ordinary bread. Cottage' loaves and sin loaves could not, therefore, be fancy bread, and if there was any loss caused by evaporation they must take it into account and charge extra for it, but they must observe what they considered to be law and sell it by weight, and ; not by denomination. Mr. Simpson raid there was • 'species of " flattening" amongst the bakers, as well as ' amongst the trade unionists in Sheffield and other places, for lie knew that in the case of • baker who refused to join the combination amongst the bakers and flour sellers, the union went to the miller who supplied him with flour, and persuaded him not to supply him with any more. The resu:t of this was that the baker had to go several miles for his flour, and the union, not content with compelling him to go out of town for his flour, tried to persuade the second miller not to supply him, but he refuge,' to listen to them. This, lie thought, was as bads species of flatten ing as any they had read of iu Sheffield. ZOOLOD ICAL Suell ETV'S GARDENS, RECENT'S PARK. —A fine walrus has just been added to the Zoological Society's living collection of animals, having arrived yesterday by steamer front Dundee under the care of the superintendent of the society's gardens. This udnwl, which was brought into Dundee at the beginning of the week by one of the whaling vessels of Messrs. Alexander Stephen and Son of that city, has been purchased by the Zoological Society for the suns of 'calf. It is rather larger than the 'sea-bear, which lately ionised such an attractive feature in the society's collection, and is apparently very healthy. Upon one 'aerials occasion some jean; ago a young walrus war received by the Zoological Society, but this animal was in an exhausted state ou its arrival, and lived truly • few days in the gardens, so that the prva ut rpeei men of this scarce and little-known creature way be con sidered as a novelty of no ordinary description.

AFIIIIENT ON TIIE VALE OF NEATII ItAILWAY.— A very painful sensation has been produced in the migh• bourhood of Abenlare, iu conacquence of its becoming known that s respectable woman had been knocke.l down by a passing train, while walking &clam the Vale of Neath Hallway, and cut almost literally to pieces. not deceased, who resided at a farmhouse locited a short way from the tunnel, was crossing the line on the Abenlare side in order to make a mar cut. Unfortunately at that part of the line there is a culla and also a very sharp gradient descending towards Abetment, so that the engine-driver has no t the sa me command over his locomotive as he would have at a straighter and more level part of the railway. The eleven o'clock train from Merthyr was lira:man% at its usual speed, and whether the young woman was paralysed with fear or did not hear its approach cannot be determined. but the engine knocked her down and the train paean' over her, almost cutting her topicces. Her death almost in. etantly transpired, and her clothes were afterwards found torn to friginents and scattered all over the line. The mutilated corpse was taken up with all despatch sad re. moved to await an inquest. No blame is attached to the engine-driver or guarti. or in fact to anyone save the uo• fortunate young woman hereelf.
