The " EXPRESS" will NOT be PUBLISHED TO-MORROW (G,,od Friday). LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 9. I)?. LIVINGSTONE. For some months the English mind has been prepared to hear the news which it to-day receives of the safety of Dr. LIVINWITONZ. Not very long since the intelligence which we now publish would have brought a shock of joyful surprise to a people boding the worst. Now it comes as a con firmation of hopes which have been gradually strengthening into the certainty which has at last been reached. From the first, faith, more or less wavering, has been reposed in judicious scepticism of Sir RODERICK MURCHIRON. Sir SAMUEL 13 It.ltit'S obstinate conviction that LI VI N ' ToyE ought to be dead, must be dead, and was (load, naturally disturbed this belie!. The result s.huws how much clearer may be the intui tions of the perceiving mind than those of the gazing eye. Sir RODRRICK MURCHISON'S fulness of knowledge, though the knowledge was derived at second-hand, his power of realising and com bining in his imagination the scenes on which he had never looked, and for which he was dependent on the testimony of others, and his cool scientific judgment, trained to weigh facts and to be guarded in the inferences derivable from them, have stood him and the public in much better stead than the personal exptrience and special knowledge of Sir SAMUEL BAK rut. No doubt the African traveller rejoices as completely in the refutation of his dark forebodings as the man of science in the fulfilment of his Pieter and more cheerful expectations. The direct news from Livimarrows himself is more than twelvemonths old. The journey which it may be hoped he has now all but accomplished began in the year 1866. The accounts received from him confirm► the report brought home by the Search Expedition. He appears to have travelled round the southern shore of the Lake Nyanza, towards its western margin, and thence to have struck in a north or north westerly direction towards the Lake Tanganyika, which was the objective point of his march. The journey was not without difficulties. At Lobisa, midway between the two lakes, "formerly," as Sir RODERICK MURCHISON writes, " a thickly inha " bited town, but now almost deserted," the traveller and his party suffered much from hunger. The land is elevated, covered with humid forests, and destitute of game. They pushed on, however, and reached lituka, in the Wremba country, near the southern extremity of the lake Tanganyika, where they recruited their strength by rest and nourishment, in a region abounding with cattle and food. The direct intelligence from LIVINGSTONE himself dates from this place. The letters and despatches which Dr. KIRK has received from him, and of which he has sent a summary to Sir RODZRICK MURCHISON, were delivered by the traveller to the Arab messenger, BUNDUK who accompanied the trading caravan from Zanzibar to Mtuka. BIINDUNI arrived at Zanzibar on the the 4th of February last, twelve months after part ing from LIVINGSTON& Sir RODIRICH MURCHISON expects that the documents will reach Eng land in time to be read at the meeting of the Geographical Society on the 27th of this month. The latest news which we have from lavirrowtortz is not the latest news of him. Infor mation has been received of his safe arrival at 1:/jiji, on the eastern shore of the Lake Tanganyika, and about two-thirds of its length from its southern extremity. There provisions and stores from England and Zanzibar had long been waiting him. The line which LIVING pawn would take from this point is matter of con jecture. It seems likely that, having accomplished the more special object of his expedition, he would make his way eastward to Zanzibar. But it is pos sible that he might pursue his march northwards, visiting the Nyanza Lakes, Victoria and Albert, and returning home by the Nile and Alexandria. The value of the discoveries which LIVINGSTON' may have made will be open to partial apprecia tion when the papers which are now on their way to England shall have reached this coantrF• They cannot be fully estimated until the illustrious traveller himself arrives and places before the world the complete narrative of his finished wanderings and observations. Whether trade will or will not profit by his explorations, whether they will have any definite result which will bear a price in the market, is a matter of Someisiersble, but yet of only esoondary importance. Keewledge will be Inc:shed, both of man ant o 1 ths world he lives in. Human conceptions a ill be enlarges, and a more perfect picture of this k lobe, and of the relations of its several parts to each (Aker, a truer idea of human nature in its several stages of development, sad in its essence will be promoted. In the wider mental horizon, the richer and more varied pictures presented to the imagi nation, the more copious data for moral judgment and historic research supplied to the intellect, a nervier is renderedtormankind as grestasbythe die ' covery of the richest mines, the most fertile soils, or navigable streams. By means of comparative mythology and comparative philology, by examination of the dialects and traditions of men, by groping into the kitchen heaps and refuse of extinct communities, by examining the foundations of their lake houses, by scrutinising their rude instruments of warfare and the chase, science is arriving at a conception of the infancy of our race, and of the several stages which mark its progress upwards, which is rich in moral and politi cal instruction. The theories of law and govern ment and society which an ideal philosophy con structed at its capricious fancy are disappearing before the historic and inductive methods of investi gation. The observation of the barbarous, or but half-civilised races of remoter corners of the earth throws light on the inquiries of such men as Lima., Lcssoce, and Niu.sorr, into the condition of pri meval man, and to the laws of individual and social progress. The aid given to such investigations by the reports of travellers like Livinowrons is invaluable. We say like LIVINGSTONE ; for a distinguishing feature of his records is their evident and unim peachable truthfulness. The question which oc curs in perusing the works of other travellers over unexplored ground—how much arewe to believe? — never rises in reading his modest and simple narra tive. Perhaps the most important result of his journey lathe display of noble human qualities which they give occasion for. With the beneficent motives and influences of peace are united the personal courage, the physical energies, the prompt re sources, the faculty of commanding men, which are the special excellence of war. In a sedentary, languid, and lackadaisical age, we cannot afford to discountenance tho spirit of adventure. Dr. Livinoirrorra is a noble illustration of its beet phase—at once daring and peaceful, ready to encounter personal risk, and eager to confer the material and moral benefits of civilisation. The hunters of gorillas, hippopotami, elephants, and camel-leopards, are not bolder than he. The travellers who go out to shoot animals, or to gratify a restless spirit, are not to be blamed ; but they cannot be placed in the same rank with those whose aim it is to elevate mankind. TOOTIN.I-COMMON is perhaps one of the finest pieces of rough, uncultivated land left to us in the neighbourhood of the metropolis. For beauty of situation, indeed, it may not be com pared with Hampstead-heath, but it has special charms of its own, can boast several noble avenues of trees, and a rural quietude undisturbed as yet by thimble-riggers and donkey-drivers. The manorial eighth on this Common have been purchased by three gentlemen of Streatham for 10,0001., and they have offered on the reimburse ment of that sum to make over their purchase to the Board of Works upon condition that the land, which consists of 144 acres, shall be retained for ever as a place of recreation for the public. We think the public ought to be much obliged to these gentlemen, and can but wish that so generous an example may be followed elsewhere. At the same time we confess to a fear lest the Board of Works, which has unanimously accepted the proposal of the lords of the manor, should injure the property they have acquired in their endeavour to improve it. Already it is rumoured that the Common will be transformed into a park, which means, we sup pose, that it will be levelled, and rolled, and gravelled, surrounded by iron railings, freed from furze bushes and brambles, and generally tamed down. We hope that the Board will do nothing of the kind. Public gardens are all very well where we cannot have anything better. Ken nington-park or Battersea-park, for instance, would be worse than useless if allowed to run wild, but Nature with scarce any help of art has had the making of Tooting•common, and to convert its rough acres into a carefully kept enclosure would be worse than a waste of the public money. THE practical philanthropy which has success fully pleaded for the suppression of the slave trade by the employment of a powerful British force on one of the most unhealthy stations in the world, has not been gratified without a large sacrifice of British life and treasure. During the ten years that have elapsed since the close of 1857 no fewer than 8,330 slaves have been captured, or, perhaps it would be more correct to say rescued, by the English naval forces ; but their rescue has MI olved the death of 88 offic,rs and 380 men, and the expenditure of no less than 740,8751. on account of wages alone. In other words, the captures have cost us 881. a head in money ; and for every eighteen slaves that have been liberated from their thraldom, one British life has been sacrificed. This estimate, however, is based upon the account for wages alone, and does not include the cost of building, arming, and maintaining in a state of efficiency the 212 vessels which have been employed in the ser vice. The crews of these vessels number 2,975 1 officers and 18,350 men ; and during the ten years over which these returns extend there ware no fewer than 33,713 cases of sickness, many of them being of so serous a character that in addition to the actual mortality of the squadron 170 officers and 695 men were invalided. Nevertheless, great as the sacrifice may have been, it would be difficult to overrate the value of the services rendered by the British fleet in having effectually suppressed the export trade in human slaves from the western coast of Africa. Henceforth, the test of the squadron's efficiency will be found, not in the number of cap tures that are made, but in the vigilance which will prevent a revival of the traffic. As to the mortality in the squadron, it is believed that the shortening of the term of service on the coast will exercise an important influence, and it is, accordingly, to be hoped that what was understood to be the resolution of the Admiralty will be effeo tually carried out. A CURIOUS volume has been lately published, which will amuse literary epicures, containing a list of the writings of Wuxiam Ilaurrr and Lr.roa Hour, with notes, descriptive critical, and explanatory.. The book—s strange Medley —con tains some of the derce and scurrilous attacks made upon these writers by the Tory journalists of the day, but the compiler omits to mention the fact, and we therefore state it for hint, that in the case of Ku= the scurrility was not contined to leas side. Ito critic eveiipoke *hilt yeast*. bstimines than be, or WO less is *sisal swabs emrioyed., Nothing, for iii‘osabe mop offensive then his oharptter of Bit Wrists 80011 V he vilified PALLY and Wzi.uwarow, Ilfatimarown and WORDIFORTIOURII and Pirr, itivrazy and Cantenro, and he affirmed that a Ter, was " not " a man but a beset." knybodywho has the 1.1100 to search through the writings of this great critic will find many such indanoes of coarse taste and bad feeling, and he will find similar Instances in the Quarterly Review and in the Blackwood of that period. Happily in those days party spirit seldom gets the better of good breeding, and if we are as earnest in our convictions aspoliticians were fifty years ago we may justly pride ourselves on an improve ment in manners. On the other hand the polite ness that arises from indifference is not a virtue to be prayed for. Ws find the following amongst the advertise ments in yesterday's Record : F.ARLiWOOD IDIOT ASYLUM. THE Rev. J. W. BURGON, Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford , ENTREATS the favour of PROXIES far POOR FRIENDLESS IDIOT (W. T. BEALE), whose election about 100 more vote will secure. It le a very daserrlug case, sad this Is the child's Mat chance. He Is no relation of IL Bastes, M.A." So pray help us. - - The Record has been hoaxed. Igo clergyman of Mr. Buncon's standing could be so careless of himself or so cruel to his unhappy nominee, to say nothing of the respect due to the other members of his sacred profession, as to issue so silly and ind:oent a doznment. Le it; contempt for the alleged desire of par ticular reformers to make women resemble men as much as poea.ble, the Times is led to a theory much more Bestern than Western. No doubt, it says, women aro ill-used and have much to complain of. The same may be said of children. The same may be said of the poor. Laws and insti tutions are made by men, by the strong, by the wealthy, by the clever, and by tho adult, and in all these capacities power is abused. But so it has always been everywhere, and always will be. " There is no help for it, and the only " help for the China ill-used—that is, the " children, women, poor, and simple—is that they " should acquire the special craft, the special arts, "graces, gifts, or what not, most befitting their " humble and dependent condition, and most cal " culated to make the best of it, under circum " stances always more or leas unfavourable to very " great results." A great many cultivated people will be angry at this open profession of the philo sophy of the seraglio and the slave pen, but it is the sort of idea about women which is still common, and reformers ought not to object to see it stated in its plainest form.

Dr. Elvey led the choir, and accompanied them on the organ. The Right Hon. Benjamin and Mn. Disraeli left the Castle yesterday. His Ezoellenoy H. and Madame Van de Weyer arrived yesterday, and had the honour of dining with the Queen and the Royal Family.

THE BISHOP OF LICHFIELD ON THE 'RISE CHURCH.—At his visitation at Newcastle, in the die mision on Synods, his lordship said :—" Dr. Armstrong excused himself from attending yesterday the rural dean ery chapter at Stoke on the ground that he bad to meet and reply to, at Hanley, an itinerant lecturer on the Irish church. That supplies me with a strong argument in favour of diocesan synods, for our true policy is, not for each one of us to expend his strength and influence on every itinerant lecturer who comes across our path, for then we shall only get beaten in detail, but to act together with the force and momentum which synodical action would supply. Dr. Armstrong mays the attacks on the Irish church are only the precursors of an attack on the English church, the 111/006211. of which would bring into existence a number of episcopal sects, and that this would be a great calamity.

A letter from Rome dated the 4th says :—" The French military engineers are hurrying forward the completion of the fortifications at Cinta Vecchia, and apply to Rome for all the materials which they require. These works are executed at the expense of the Pontifical Government, and 1 when they are completed the sections of artillery and engineers belonging to the Poltier brigade which recently returned to France will embark also with General Dumont. It is expected that this will be between the 20th and 25th of the pre- sent month, and that the remaining brigade will embark in May. In oonteguence of the diminu tion in the French force in the province of Viterbo, their garrisons have been withdrawn from the frontier towns of Valentano and Montefiaboone, which, with Acquapendents, are once more occu pied by Pontifical Zouaves and gendarmes." 4 ths Court of assn. hug decided, on an appeal trure of Anna, dist the law against unofficial of the deksbss applies to all gossip about takes plass la the oommittes-rooms.

The bill regulating the relations of the various creeds in the Austria& empire is but a completion of the measures on the subject of civil marriages and education. The new bill permits parents to determine before marriage the religion in which the children are to be brought up. They can come to an agreement on this head before mar riage, or on the birth of each child, or come to no determination at all. An appeal is allowed from the decision of the parents. By Clause 4, every child of 14 can freely select the creed to which ho wishes to belong. Change of religion and pro selytism cease to be punishable ace. No one is to be forced to pay for a creed to which he does not belong, or to follow the formulas of any worship, whether his own or another's. The Sunday question gave rise to some discussion. Arguments from economy and humanity were adduced in sup port of the Church view that there should be a general cessation of labour on the Sunday. On this point an amendment proposed by Baron Tintli was adopted by 76 votes to 65, to the effect that all public works which were not argent should be suspended on the Sabbath. Clause 12 secu larises cemeteries. Every creed is at liberty to adopt what religious ceremonies it chooses on this solemn occasion, but everything else relating to burials is confined to the civil authorities. (azurra's TILZGLtXB.) FRANCE. PARIS, Aran. 9. An article in the Conditutionnel, signed by b Limayrac, refutes the statements of those journals which consider war inevitable, because France has taken all the necessary measures to wage it with success. It says :—" The more France is armed, the less is the probability of war. An equilibrium of armed forces in the world is a guarantee of peace. It is true a general disarmament of all nations would be a more oertain one for the repose of Europe, but who is to set the example ? Is there a Frenchman who has at heart the greatness and safety of his country who would dare to advise such a confiding initiative 1 And should foreigners ask us to do so, could we not reply, as we did at Fontenoy, ' Gentlemen, we leave it to you to take the first step.'

OUR PARIS LETTER. VISIT OF THE EMPRESS TO THE POPE. (me ma owir maassvoinnarr.) PARIS, WIDIRSINLY EVINIXO. The Praise announces quite positively that the ' Empress's long-cherished desire to pay a visit to the Pope, accompanied by her son, is now about to be realised. Tbis news, it says, is the only ex planation of the imperial yacht, the Reim Hors tense, now lying in reserve at Cherbourg, having re- eeived orders to arm immediately and proceed to the Mediterranean, where it will fall in w ith Prince Napoleon's yacht, the Jerome Napoleon. The Empress and the ' Prince Imperial will embark on board the Reins Hortense. The numerous suite will be accommodated on the JeromeNapolcon,and the whole of the iron-clad fleet now at Toulon will escort her Majesty. According to the programme the party will start from Marseilles and return to Toulon. This is really great news, but I cannot help doubting the truth of it yet. Should it be true the natural inference will be that the ethanol between the Emperor and the church is more advanced than was supposed. The Empress has often before wished to visit Rome, but the Emperor, fur political reasons, withheld his moment. If she goes now, while the Pope still obstinately refuses all the reforms demanded in the .1600 p ilisions letter to Edgar Ney, while he continues to drum even so much as a modes vivendi with Italy, and while he threatens to excommunicate the Emperor of Austria if he gives the imperial anent io the bill authorising civil marriages, the h of the church in France will be vary Simi indeed. 1 1/10/0 is a rumour, which I discredit, that Wore leas lknyeas goes to Rome the remnant d the SesiMik army yet at Civita Venal& will be seemed.

Atmospherical pressures have continued to rise at all our stations since yesterday, and since teat evening the increase hail been large in the south of Ragland. In the south-western portion of these island/reedit p tre now hisberby nearly half an filch. The greatest pressure reported is at Valentia, and exceeds the tidal. mum, at Brussels, by more than six-tenths of an inch. There has been a considerable diminution In temperature In the west sod south. The north-east gale reported yesterday from head haamoderated somewhat, hut that reported from scarbo rough extended during the night to all the southeastern stations, and was most severe at Yarmouth, where It is still blowing. Winds are generally north-easterly and strong lu places. Snow and hall have fallen at places on the north and east coasts. At Valentla frost is reported. The sky Is generally cloudy. The men in the employment of M. Hoy - aux, founder, at Mons, were astonished on going to their work three days back to find that a bronze equestrian statue of the Emperor Baud** of Constantinople, placed for safety under a shed, hai disappeared. Notbwithatanding its great weight, a robbery was possible from the fact of the casting being in four pieces. The watchman of • neigh- bouring factory states that he had heard during the night • one or more heavily ladon vehicles pass. Telegrams were instantly despatched in every direction to put the police on the alert. A letter from Rome say. that Cardinal Bona parte's observance of the strictest rules of Lenten fasting have already had an injurious effect upon his health, for he fainted in the Sistine chapel on the 3rd, during the sermon delivered by the Capuchin friar Eusebio da Monte Santo, in the presence of the Pope and the Sacred Col lege. Cardinal Bonaparte had to be carried out of the chapel . . Mr. Mechi says :—" Our autumn and winter have in this county (Essex) been everything one can desire agriculturally, so dry and so free from floods, as compared with the same period of 1866-67. Consequently the wheat crop looks quite healthy and promising, while the dryness of the soil permits a free use of the hand and horse hoe, and the facile extirpation of weeds. All this is a contrast to the like period last year. A greatly increased breadth of wheat has bean sown, so that, if the summer prove favourable, our poor prospects will be much brighter." INVALIDS FROM ABYSSINIA. —A correspondent from Suez writes, under date March 27, 1868 :—" The Golden Fleece has just arrived here from Anneals y Bay, having on board 208 invalids of di ff erent come, who are ea route to England.

IMPORTANT INSURANCE CASE. HOME CIRCUIT.—KINGSTON, APRIL 8. Civil Court.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) II'ANDREW r. OM:NI/LAS. This great insurance case, which will be long N. membered in the profession and iu the mercantile corn. munity as one of the most remarkable that ever occurred, and in some respects without • parallel, really Cam, to • oonchratun to-day, with a verdict sub stantially in favour of the underwriters that ir, 'for • partial loss as against a total loss. It was an action on a policy of insurance for S,OOO/, on as iron steamer, the policy being one of several effected upon the same vessel to the aggregate amount of 3u,o(sii., the value as stated in the policies, and the whole of which was claimed by the owner as on a " total loss " of tliv vessel, which was denied by the insurers. Sir G. Honyman, Mr. IVatkin Williams, and Mr. Cohen were for the plaintiff ; Sir Baliol Brett (Solicitor-General), specially retained, Mr. J. Brown, and Mr. J. C. Mathew were for the defendants. The Tossed, which was built in January, 1864, at a cost of 33,000(., was insured in January, 1867, io seveial policies—of which this was one—to the aggregate amount of 36,0001., the value Ming stated in the policy at that amount, though, in point of fact, it was only worth '20,00i. It was sent on a voyage to Odessa mid on its return with a cargo of grain a orth ti-I,OUOI. it met with a storm in which it was thought necessary that the crew should leave her (off the coast of Holland), not so much on account of danger to the vessel as from want of provisions and impoesiliility of getting into hai hour, the furnaces being put out, and the ste. rage alp:ant:iv car ried away. The vessel, however, outrodc the storm and was taken into harbour by fishing smacks, ad brought borne to Hull by steamers, so little injured that the valuable cargo it carried was not damaged materially, anti the freight, which came to nearly 5,010., was earned. Large claims, however, were made fur salvage (which are in litigation in the Admiralty ('ourt), and in the meantime the owner Laving heard of the ilis. aster bad before the rescue of the vessel given to the insure,. notMe of abandonment-- i.e., notice that he aban. doned the vessel to them, and claimed to recover as for a total loss. The owner claimed to recover on the ground of this notice of abandonment, given its soon as it was known that the vessel had been left by the crew on the high seas, and at a time when all the known circumstances were such as might make it appe.,r imprudent in him to take to the ship ; and he also claimed to recover as for a constructive total loss, on the ground that (as be alleged) the vessel would not be worth repairing —i. e., that the coat of repair s would be greater than the value when repaired. The first ground of the claim rested chiefly on the admitted facts that whca the notice of alma. donreent was given the vessel was, in point of fact, abate I doned by the crew, and reasonably abandoned, and OR I the uncertainty of the charges for salvage and re. pairs. The other ground of claim, on which the ti id chiefly proceeded, rested on comparative estimabs of repairs and of value ; the case for the plarntin an. this point being that the repairs would cost 20,00 W (althoe;h ; detailed estimates for the defence made the eseenxia only 10,0001. ), and that the ship would then he worth only 1ri,601P., although made as good as it was a few months befnii, when valued at :36,0001. The question was, wle•ther the owner wax entitled to recover that sum, or only the real and actual total loss sustained—i.r. ot " partial" or a • teal' logs. Such was the substance of the vase. It wam awe"d that if the jury should find for the partial low, the amount should be referred to arbitration. The Lord Chief Justice this morning summed op ti:e case to the jury at great length. The jury retired to consider their verdict. After her.; absent for above two hours they returned into (unit wiii findings which were substantially in favour of the defer I daub the underwriter, and virtually amounted to a ver diet for a partial lose, not a total loss. L' p onthe niain ques . .. tion of a constructive total logs they found in Ow neg t t , 're - that is, that there was not a constructive tot al loss. t pen the specific q ucitiona submit tea to them they found as f ollow, - To the question whether the expense of repairs and rte would be substantially leas than the value of the vev.el richer to the writer or in the market, either at the time of tic it. surance or of the loss, they found in the affirmatis e that , that it would be worth repairing. As to thequestion whether there would be any depreciation in the value of the vessel from the causes mentioned, they were not able to agree but they were all agreed that, whether there would he so or not, it would make no practical difference for fife purpose, as the value would nevertheless be greater than the expense of repairs and salvage. To the question whether, at the time of the notice of abandon. went, a prudent owner, if uninsured, would have taken to the vessel for the purpose of repairing her either in Hob land. or England, they replied that a prudent owner under much circumstances would have taken to her for repair in England. Then as to the commercial question they found as :-1. That the value of the vessel as she lay is 6,520 f. ; 2. That the cost of repairs would be 13,000/. ; 3. That the amount of salvage would be—(a) on the ship. 1,530 f., (b) on the freight I,l:Al.—total 2,680/.,which aka to the cost of repairs would make 15,680/. Then uto value they found that the value of the ship to the owner would be 21,1251., and in the market :10,0001. But then to each of these values, they said, was to be added the amount o; the freight, 4,6001., less the salvage on freight— , .., :i,450/., which, added to the market velue, would ma ke 52,430!., and added to the value to the owner would be 34.5751. The Lord Chief Justice said that, on these fignsti, deducting from the latter sum the cost of repairs and salvage—i.e., 15,6801.—there would be a clear .:wpbs over on the commercial principle, and therefore the mid toga finding am th oun at ted thera in effect to t w he ns sa tni nicetivepartial verdict only a partial loss which (according to agreement let w e e n the parties) was referred to arbitration. Thus etelcil remarkable case. al t h l e os g s e . n ebru'it A charge of assault was preferred by Lady Lonna Morgan against her husband, Captain R. S. Morgan, at the Fermoy petty *miens, on Monday. The case was of a painful character, a variety of unpleasant slieclosure relative to the domestic life of the parties, irrespectiNe of the assault, being made in the course of the evidence. The charge was dismissed.

It appears that the 'clean quarrelled with tie poor woman in ocesacquence of her refusal to sell or moo gage life interest in the house in which they lived, and e - inflicted upon her three terrible wo ends, one of which divided the left ear and injured the back part of the head, while another smashed her lower jaw on the left aide; ohs third being under the jaw, but not affecting any vital ptrt of the throat. He bad previously dug some large boles is the garden attached to the house, and it is even hinted that be intended to bury his victim in one of them. On Tueolfl she poor woman was expected to recover, but she is in I critical state. Strange to say she displays affection for her worthless husband, and refuses at present to give evidence against him. The case against the prisoner does not depend, however, upon the evidence of the injured IrOMID, but ruts upon admissions made by U derwood himself, and also upon the °newsiness of other per sons.
