Your presence is an honour for the bar of Besancon, and the young advocates whom I rejoice to see thronging so numerously around you will count amongst the brightest days of their career that in which they will have had the privilege of hearing such a pleader as your self."

This bankrupt was described as a brevet-major in her Majesty's army, late of 18, Bedford-street, Brighton, now of Lansdowne-terrace, Brighton. The bankrupt comes up on his own petition, owing about £5,000, the following being the principal creditors : —Mr. Christopher Duff, of the Four Courts, Dublin, and Registrar of the Court of Queen's Bench, Ireland, £1,400 ; Messrs. Elkington and Co., £3OO ; Mr. W. A. Clair, of East Grinstead, £450 ; Mr. Woolf, tailor, Bond-street, £3OO ; and Mr. Laurie, army agent, St. James's-square, £3OO.

OCTRAGEOTJS SCENE AT THE HAM YARD SOUP KITCHEN. —Robert Smith and Henry Weston, two rough-looking fellows, were charged before Mr. Knox, Smith with as saulting a poor man named Richard Denyer, and Police constable Poole, 305 A, and Weston with assaulting Poole, 305 A, and Gower, 115 0, and also with attempting to rescue Smith from the custody of the police. Richard Denyer said—Yesterday I had a ticket given to me by a gentleman in St. James's-street to go to the Ham yard soup kitchen. I went to the yard, and Smith came down there drunk. A gentleman asked him to go away, but he would nct. Smith wanted to buy soup tickets, and because I would not sell mine he seized hold of my hair, struck me several times, and knocked me down. While I ' was afterwards holding out my ticket to the person ap pointed to take them, Smith snatched it out of my hand, and on my turning round to look after him he struck me again, and several persons set on me. A. con stable then came and Smith was given in charge by the person at the kitchen. Lawrence Poole, 305 A, said—About half-past three yesterday afternoon I went to Ham-yard and saw the complainant bleeding from the nose and mouth. He said he had been assaulted by a man. 1 went down the yard and Smith was pointed out as the person who had commit ted the assault, and he was given in charge. On taking Smith into custody, he said, " I will well rough it" (fight it out), and then threw himself on his back and set to kicking with all his might and trying to bite. Two or three other constables came to my assistance, and we were then hemmed in by a large crowd of the worst persons in London. At last wo got him away, but we had all our work to do to keep the crowd off. I was thrown twice and tripped up three times by Weston. On the way to the station stones were thrown at the police, and Weston in cited the crowd to attack the police, and when we suc ceeded in dotting Smith to the station, Weston was then taken in. My ribs are very sore by Smith's kicking me while he was on the ground. Mr. Knoi—lt seems a scandalous thing to occur at a place intended for the relief of poor persons. luspeotor Bowles—The persons assembling at that place are generally very quiet. Reuben Blazier, 158 C—l saw Weston kick Poole seve ral times, and Weston also incited the crowd to attack the police by calling out "Rescue —Don't let the take him" (meaning Smith). Gower 115 C—l went to the assistance of the other con stables, and received two blows on the back of the head lima Weston, who had a stick in his hand. I was knocked down. Weston called out several times, " Give it to the W. Cane, 35 C—l assisted the other constable, and we had to carry Smith a great portion of the way to the sta- tion, Weston all the way inciting a large crowd to rescue Smith. Smith was in the habit of going two or three times a week drunk to the Soup Kitchen, and I have had several times to quiet him. I have known him for years as a very troublesome and rough fellow. Mr. Knox—l shall send the case to the sessions. The police must be protected. Smith—l have a wife and family. Weston—l never had a stick in my hand. That is all I have to say. The depositions having been completed, the prisoners were committed for trial, Mr. Knox requesting Inspector Bowles to see that Denyer (who has no house) was looked after in the workhouse till the trial. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—SamueI Diable, a labourer, about thirty years of age, was brought up on a warrant, charged with violently assaulting Mr. Alfred Marshall, of No. 13, Colchester-street, Whitechapel. The prosecutor is a boiler-maker, and employs a great great number of men at his factory in Whitechapel. The prisoner had been employed in the place for five or six years at intervals, and at last finally discharged. He came to the prosecutor's establishment on the 22d January last and said he wanted to have an interview with one of the workmen, named John Williams. The prisoner was in toxicated, and Mr. Marshall said he would not allow him to see any one. The prisoner abused the complainant and threatened him, loitered about the premises until fifty eight minutes past one o'clock, when the large gates were opened for the admission of the workmen, on their return from dinner, when he again saw the prisoner, who forced his way into the workshop, and refused to leave. Mr. Marshall endeavoured to eject him. The prisener laid hold of a boiler, and held fast by it. Mr. Marshall pulled him from it, and a scuffle ensued. The prisoner nearly forced Mr. Marshall on the ground and knocked off his hat. He then struck Mr. Marshall, and knocked him down. He got up and the prisoner hit him again with great force, dis lodging one of his teeth completely, and loosening another, which was lost. The complainant's mouth was full of blood, and he was put to much pain and inconvenience by the loss of his teeth. Mr. Gomm, for the defendant, attempted to show that the complainant acted with great violence to the defendant, who only wanted to speak to an old fellow workman. Mr. Marshall said he requested the prisoner to leave the factory a dozen times before he attempted to remove him, and he used no more violence than was necessary to eject him from his premises. Mr. Marshall's evidence was fully confirmed by Andrew Stapley.' The magistrate doubted whether he ought not to send the prisoner :to gaol without the option of paying a fine. He sentenced him to pay 405., and 2s. costs, or be impri soned 21 days. THE HORSE THE WISER ANlMAL.—William Argent, a heavy, half-sleepy, agricultural labourer and carter, in the service of Mr. Lawrence, carter and farmer, of Romford, in Essex, was charged with being drunk and asleep in his master's cart. Lewis Lambert, a police-constable, No. 311 K, stated that yesterday evening he saw a horse and cart, which left the Whitechapel haymarket a few minutes pre viously, passing along the Mile-end-road. There was no driver. 'I he horse suddenly turned round, crossed the road, and proceeded towards the water trough of the Plough, a road-side inn, where the animal had been accus tomed to have a bait on its way to and from the hvmar ket in Whitechapel. The wheel of the cart was locked in the lamp-post on its way to the trough, and he was compelled to back it and convey the horse and cart to the green-yard. Heavy fees would have to be paid to the keeper of the green-yard. The prisoner was lying at the bottom of the cart, drunk and asleep. The prisoner--.T. had a little beer, that is all. He was ordered to stand up and make his defence properly. Mr. Paget said the prisoner's master would have to pay heavy fees to the green-yard keeper, and discharged him. A RAILWAY JOURNEY IN THE LATE GALE.—It appears three actions are to be brought by Malton merchants against the North-Eastern Railway Company to recover compensation for delay during the gale of Tuesday last. The Leeds corn market is held on that day, and the gentlemen in question were regular frequenters of that market. The train left Mallon at 7 a.m., and had, in addi tion to the regular carriages, five horse boxes attached. It .was alleged that the engine power was inadequate to the increased weight of the train, which had to make head against the wind, and that walking pace was occasionally observed in consequence. In the cutting, shortly after leaving Mal ton, a runaway truck was met with, which the gale had blown from the next station during the night. Fortunately this obstruction was seen, it being then daylight. The truck had to be pushed back three miles, and the train, in all, lost more than an hour in the first 30 miles to Thirsk. The consequence was that the corn market was closed be fore the passengers reached Leeds—more than three hours late. The Lord Chief Justice was occupied this morning with the hearing of a case in which damages were sought to be recovered from the Geivral Omnibus Company for injuries done to a cab. In the Common Pleas the court was occu pied the whole of the day with a case touching s patent for compressing hay. In the Probate Court the case of Pater son v. Cordray was resumed. The plaintiff, Annie Pater son, sought to establish the validity of the will of James Cor bay, bearing date Aug. 12, 1865. The defendant, who was the testator's widow, opposed on the ground of undue exe cution and want of testamentary capacity. It appeared that the testator commenced life as labourer to a market gardener, but being a good man of business soon improved his position, and becime a market gardener himself, and in that capacity amassed considerable pro perty. After ho gave up gardening, he embarked in the business of a fellmonger, in which he was remarkably suc cessful. He lost his first wife several years ago, and married again in 1861, but that marriage did not prove a happy one, and a separation took place. He afterwards became ac quainted with Annie Paterson, the plaintiff, to whom he represented himself as being a widower. In 1862 ho pur chased a farm at Weldon, in Essex, and by the will in question—which was executed a short time before his death, which took place in September, 1865—he left the farm and a large portion of his property to the plaintiff. The testator was 65 years of age at the time of his death. The case is not expected to conclude to-day. The O'Donoghue's Amendment to' the Address. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FEB. 8. The following is a list of the minority upon The O'Donoghue's amendment : Bagwell, J. Gray, Sir J. Barry, R. Cr, Hadfield, G. Bowyer, Sir G. M'Kenna, J. N. Brady, Dr. M‘Laren, D. Bright, J.

B. Rearden, D. J. Stock, 0. Synan, E. J. TELLERS. O'Donoghue, The Dlako, Mr. Loss of the Steamer London. ---0-- A public meeting of the inhabitants of Blackwell and Poplar was held on Wednesday evening at the Townhall, High-street, Poplar, to consider the best means of raising a fund in co-operation with that already established at the Mansion-house, for re lieving the survivors and the destitute familes of those who were lost with the above vessel. It may be remembered that the London was built at the yard of Messrs. Wigram at Blackwell, and most of the families of the crew who perished reside in this district. Dr. Bowkett took the chair, and among those pre sent were Mr. Hickson, the superintendent of the East and West India Dock Company; Mr. E. Currie, Dr. Brownfield, Mr. Westhorp, Dr. Bain, and several influential gentlemen of the neighbourhood. The CHAIRMAN explained the object of the meet ing, which he said was to help those who had suf fered so much by the loss of the London. Dr. BAIN then moved the first resolution, " That this meeting, deploring the lamentable loss of the ship London, and deeply sympathising with the dis tress and sufferings entailed upon the families of the crew and passengers, pledges itself immediately to raise funds in aid of the Lord Mayor's committee for their relief." Mr. HICKSON seconded the resolution, which was carried. Mr. J. FINNEY then proposed, " That this meet ing, highly appreciating the conduct of Captain Martin, under the trying circumstances in which he was placed during the storm in which his vessel ultimately foundered, consider that some testimo nial should be presented to his family, as an appro bation of the courage and noble disinterestedness which he displayed." (Cheers.) Mr. HUGHES seconded the resolution, and it was at once unanimously adopted. Dr. BROWNFIELD then moved, " That this meet ing desires to express its sympathy with Messrs. Wigram for the sorrow which the loss of the pas sengers and crew of the steamship London has caused them," which being seconded by Mr. WEST HOEP, was agreed to. Mr. HOCKING said he had had some experience in iron shipbuilding, and he had been in the yard dur ing the construction of the London, and he would say that better ironwork was never put into a vessel. Several other gentlemen also spoke of the superior character of the ship and the care which the firm had taken to send the vessel to sea in an efficient state. A committee was then elected, and a list of sub scriptions being handed in, the proceedings termi nated with the usual vote to the chairman. The Skeleton Found near Waterloo-buidge REMARKABLE NARRATIVE OF A WIFE'S LOSS. Yesterday afternoon Mr. J. Payne, coroner, resumed the inquiry at the Essex Head Tavern, Essex-street, Strand, relative to the discovery of the skeleton of a gentleman in the bed of the river near Waterloo-bridge. A Chubb's key, found with the skeleton, had been iden tified by Mr. Chubb as having been made by him in 1839 for one of the offices of the War Department, and the Den tological Society had photographed the artificial teeth of the skeleton, and were about to publish a photograph and particulars in their Journal. Inquiries at the War-office and at the various barracks had been made, but no one missing corresponded with the skeleton. At this stage of the proceedings a tall lady, of middle age, dressed in deep mourning, and whose features were much careworn, entered the court and expressed a wish to make a statement. Having been sworn, she stated that her name was Harriet Elizabeth Clephan, that she resided at No. 160, Goswell-street, and that in the year 1851 her hus band, to whom she had been married 13 months, suddenly disappeared, and from that time down to the present she (had never received any tidings of him. Ho was an archi tect and surveyor, and ho had chambers in Duke-street, St. James's. He was last seen in Blackfriars-road, and consequently he would have had to cross some one of the bridges to get to his chambers. He was in good health, but very desponding. He was architect to Earl De Grey, and when he disappeared she communicated with his lord ship, and he was of opinion that her husband had com mitted suicide. At the time of his disappearance she hada baby only a fortnight old. During their marriage she did not see him very often—sometimes once a month - for she resided in the country principally. He used to carry a pencil-case with a letter-weight. Witness, however, could not swear to the pencil-case, nor to the artificial teeth. She did not know, she said, whether her husband wore artifi cial teeth or not. The glasses produced were not such as he used to wear. He had a high Roman nose, correspond ing with the skeleton. During the examination of the witness she was very much affected, and it was incidentally mentioned by her that property had been left to her on two or three occa sions since her husband's disappearance, but that she could not get it owing to the fact that no tidings had ever been obtained as to whether he was dead or alive. The Coroner, in summing up, said that of the thousands of cases which had come before him he had never had one which excited so general an interest as the present. He had received a great number of letters from all parts of the country. The Government departments and the Commis sioners of Police had given him every aid, and done all that possibly could be done to clear up the mystery. With respect to Mrs. Clephan, it would be observed that the un fortunate lady had not clearly identified any of the things, and that she knew nothing about the teeth. The Jury, [after some discussion, returned a verdict— " That the remains in question were found in the bed of the river Thames, but how they came there, or how death had been caused, there was no evidence to show ;" and ap pended their thanks to the Government departments and the Dentological Society for the aid given to the jury in the endeavour to elucidate the mystery attaching to the case. MONTHLY PERIODIOALS THE GENTLEIIAN'S MAGAZINE (New Series). — The reading public will be glad to meet with this old-established periodical in its present form, and,'it presents much information of a valuable and inte resting kind. " The Stuart Papers" is the first subject met with, and it shows the "historical value" of the Stuart papers. They afford if not a com plete series, at any rate a most useful adjunct to contem porary records, and, as here said emphatically, they thus cast a great deal of needful light upon some most perplexed passages in the history of England. " The York Cap of Maintenance" is an interesting sketch of this one of the most interesting relics of the 16th century. " Scandinavian Book Lore" refers to the many works which have recently left the Scandinavian press, but which are unfortunately not well known in this country. "Alexander Petofi" is a sketch that is well worthy of perusal, and we meet with several extracts from his writings that interest and attract. An anecdote is mentioned which shows his popularity among the soldiers. When his name was mentioned fifteen hundred voices called out in' a unanimous enthusiastic chorus, "Hail, Petofi. Eljen.Petofi." It was real fame which the poet thus met with, when in an "obscure Tran sylvanian village, where in a regiment of common sol diers there was not a man unfamiliar with his name." " Proceedings of Socioties" furnish a great variety of de tail; and . " Occasional Papers" are also to be commended. This malways been c e l e b ra t e d f or th e manner in which magazine has esentsthememories of distinguished persons in its obituary. Mrs. Gaskell's name appears in this month's record of the departed. THE VICTORIA MAGAZINE.---The life of "Eugenie de Guerin," as learned from her own private jour nal, occupies the first place in this number. It is followed by chapters of " The Fisherman's Daugh ter," a tale of circumstantial evidence. The accused is executed in this number, though, whether justly or not, the sequel must show. The story of " Trouble at Thorn hill" proceeds on its tangled course, and the unfortunate heroes and heroines are as usual all at cross-purposes. The translation of Professor Laboulaye's lengthened and laborious, but somewhat tedious, essay on the civil and political status of the female sex from the time of the Romans downwards is continued. It treats this month of the transition from the Teutonic to the Feudal laws and customs, and will be very interesting to the student of medimval customs. There are several other papers besides the usual correspondence. THE ECLECTIC.-There are some interesting papers in this number, beginning with an account of the labours of love of M. Heldring and M. Bost. The latter gentleman has, by his earnest efforts, accom plished the establishment of five establishments at La Force in France. These five are, respectively, Ist, for orphan girls; 2d, for irirtn, incurable, and blind girls ; 3d, for epileptic girls ; 4th, for epiler "c boys ; and sth, for orphan boys otherwise afflicted. Among the other articles are criticisms on Alford's Poems and Stanley's Lecti;;;. -- GOOD WORDS.—Mrs. Oliphant's new story of " Madonna Mary" proceeds with, interest through the present instalment, and brings the heroine ter rible grief. " A Frenchman's Impressions of Eng land a Century Ago" will afford some entertainment. " The Jew Pedlar" is a sketch worth reading, and an essay on " Health of Body and Mind" contains a good deal of sound and practical advice. We have, besides, papers by the editor, and by the author of " Citoyenne Jacqueline," as well as other matters of interest. THE DAY OF REST. —The long-continued story of " The Hidden Siu" is terminated in this num- ber, and its mysteries finally unravelled. There is also another story called " The Heir at Law," which begins and finishes in one--an unusual attraction. There are plenty of briefer papers on sub jects of all kinds—" Newgate Reminiscences," "Old Lon don," "Premonitions of Death," "The Wooral Poison," &c. -so that the reader will have no difficulty in find ing soine matter of entertainment, whatever his tastes. THE MONTHLY PACKET. New Series. Mozley and Co.—Any work appearing under the editor ship of Miss Yonge can hardly fa;l to attract and interest a very wide circle of readers, and we are not surprised at the continued favour with which this unpretending little serial has been received dur ing her editorship. It has now entered upon a more ambit , ous career, being enlarged so as to allow of greater scope to writers and readers. It addresses itself as hereto fore principally to the young, and for this class it is par ticularly well calculated. One of its chief attractions con sists of a new story by the editor, bearing the somewhat singular title of " The Six Cushions." Brief though the instalment is, it is quite enough to make us wish for more, and to sketch out the characters and their mutual positions with all Miss Yonge's old talent. There is another tale, " Lilla's Relations," besides an interesting romantic ac count of early Scandinavian history. "On the Benefits of Cold Water " is a really b rac i ng paper, and " A Gossip about Books," "Reminisce nces of North Wales," and "Letters on Geology" are also good. Among the more prominent features is a mediaeval tale by Florence 'Wil ford, "A Sketch of Russian Ecclesiastical Ceremonials," by Madame Romanoff, and a charming story, from the French, entitled " The Way to Paradise." Altogether the miscellany bids fair not only to retain, but to enhance its former high reputation. ' THE SIXPENNY MAGAZINE has several entertain ing papers besides the usual allowance of fiction. Among them are articles on " Coral Islands," " Automata and Wax Works," "Jonathan Swift," sre. ' NEWTON'S LONDON JOURNAL contains the usual account of recent patents, and the list of scientific notices, &c. ; the introductory article being on the notice and prospects of the patent law. SCIENCE GOSSIP.—This is a useful little miscel- Lamy, designed to popularise scientific knowledge on interesti ng , Papers, all of which will ordinary matters. THE DOMESTIC ENGLISHWOMAN'S M AGAZINE eon tbaeinfosuandcahpiigtahlly useful selectio a no n f varied d THE YOUNG ENGLISHWOMAN is brim-full of enter taining tales, pretty patterns, and attractive fashions. DEATH OF LADY CAROLINE TOWNELEY.—We have to announce the demise of the above lady, which took place at six o'clock yesterday morning at tho family mansion in Charles-street, Berkeley -square. Her ladyship has been unwell for some time past, and ,has been staying at ( Torquay, from whence she returned to town a few days since for medical aid, when a relapse took place, and her ladyship expired at the above hour. The deceased lady was daughter of the second Earl of Sefton, born in 1803, and married, 1836, Charlei Towneley, Esq., of Towneley Hall, Lancashire, by whom she leaves issue, three daugh ters—Lady Norreys, Lady Alexander Lennox, and one unmarried. By the death of her ladyship several families of rank are placed in mourning. ADMIRAL PAREJA'S SUICIDE. —The following letter is said to have been written by the late Ad miral Pareja, a short time preceding his suicide, to a valued friend in Europe :—" On Board the Villa de Madrid at Val paiaiso, November, 1865.—This letter will convey to you the news of my death. The errors of judgment and not of will with which I have unfortunately misguided the Go vernment of my Queen, cannot have any other expiation. I have been prejudiced and unjust towards Tavira. Re quest him to pardon me. Ile did know this republic better than anybody else, and his advice and proceedings were safe and sound. It is the interest of our country to em brace the Drat moment to make peace with Chi am your unfortunate --, "J. M. PAREJA." TEMPLE BAR.--" Archie Lovell" is continued at some length, and in the same animated style. " The Streets of the 'World" this time takes us to Glas • gow, the Trongate, and Buchanan-street. An amusingpassage is met with in conclusion, in which the writer alludes to the offence he gave by making men tion of the " barefootedness of the Glasgow lassies." "A Workhouse Waif" is a most melancholy account of the three falls met with by an unfortunate man until he be came an " Inmate of a Workhouse." An interesting sketch is given of the sad spot to which misfortunes drove this hapless man for a refuge, and the impressive descrip tion may serve to pourtray the position of many others. "We wait for chapels, we wait for meals, we wait for everything, waiting our business, our life is one long wait ing; but I am bound to add that, over and above and all these waiting; there is with most of us all far greater waiting—the waiting which shall never fail those who wait aright, the waiting for the second coming of Him who at His first coming, in great humility, chose a stable for His dwelling and a manger for His bed ; who poor and forsaken as we are, was still more poor and for saken—the Son of Man, who had nowhere to lay [his head." "In Lodgings at Knightsbridge" is the 'second part of a very intricate but most interesting tale, and in this month's division we meet some eventful incidents. " Land at Last" is nearing its conclusion evi dently, and next time no doubt we shall meet with the last scene in the sad career of Margaret. " Brussels Grave and Gay" furnishes us with an entertaining sketch of some of the striking scenes that lately occurred there, and the con trast of being before and behind the scenes is great. An interesting article is that on " Gustave Dore." The English public may indeed be glad of the opportunity now afforded to them of witnessing for themselves the wonders of this great man. It is said that Gustave still means to persevere with unflagging energy in his' walk ; and the reader will agree with the writer, who exclaims, " Remem bering what he has done, learning what he intends to do, and bearing in mind that it is his firm determination to be a great artist in colour some day; feeling how he has enriched our tieasury of thought, association, and enjoy- ment ; acknowledging the gems with which he has deco rated the shrines of all familiar worship withal, shall we not say to Gustave Dore, 'May you live a thousand years.'

Sugars have been in very limited request, and prices have been barely supported. Coffee, however, has sold readily at rather higher rates. At the public sales of China tea scented descriptions have ruled a shade cheaper ; while rice, fruit, spices, and saltpetre have been without change as regards value. Tallow has been in better request, for bo'th present and forward delivery, at slightly enhanced rates. SOUTHAMPTON, Thursday.—The Union Com pany's screw steamship Saxon, Capt.

The ' Times, discussing the Mexican question, admits that the part which the French Emperor has played in Mexico is one which the Americans evi dently think themselves called upon to protest against. He has established a form of Government antipathetic to their own ; he supports it by an European army on American soil. An Emperor is enthroned in Mexico, a President is wandering about with Chasseurs and Zouaves on his track. And however small in number and influence the Juarists may be, they will always be, in the opinion of their neighbours, the Mexican people. It is enough for the Americans that there is in existence a President who was duly elected, and has been forcibly deposed. To him at least a part of the Mexican population cling. Something resembling a war continues ; the Mexican Republic is still maintained by a faithful few, and the passive ac quiescence of the whole Mexican people cannot therefore be asserted by the new dynasty. The disposition of the people of the United States to resent the occupation of France and deny the authority of Maximilian is encouraged by Presi dent Johnson, who, since the restoration of peace, has not thought it necessary to follow the quieter policy of his predecessor. The tone of Congress, the refusal of the President to recognise the Mexi can Emperor, the strong remonstrances addressed to the French Government, and the speeches which certain highly-placed Union officers are said to have . made, tend, on the other hand, to increase the ex citement of the people, and to dispose them towards open acts of hostility to the Imperial power. doubtedly a very little encouragement on the part of the Union Government might cause the frontier provinces of Mexico to be overrun by American guerillas. That this is felt in both countries is evident from the anxiety of the Mexican Govern ment, and fiom the readiness with which the news of American interference is believed by all classes in the Union. But the Times is still inclined to think that the Federal Government will do all in its power to prevent either forays into Mexican territory or the acceptance of eervice under Juarez ry American citizens. Although Air. Johnson views the monarchy with dislike, and his people are determined that the French shall quit, there is suf ficient temperance of feeling in the community to make them bide their time. THE SOUTH ABOLISHING SLAVERY. --ThC New Orleans Delta claims that not to the North, but to the South, belongs the credit of abo lishing slavery. The alteration of the Consti tution was made valid by the votes of Southern States through their respective Legislatures. But for their concurrence, the a mendment would not have been made. Their participation in the solemn act of changing the o r ganic lay of a mighty nation would seem to indicate that t h e y are not enti re ly without the pale of the Constitution, although their Representatives are not yet admitted to their seats in Congress. At all events it is quite clear the President has determined upon recognising them as States, let the Radicals in Congress do as they please. and nervous, description. but bilious, iu every stage, are only stomach,[ An vz 't a r n ' d s z liveralEN T o . 0 ] — in C I ; 0 1 a i n ti v a t I als drugspt 0 0 0 , f ag gravate, and accelerated by by thousands of cases which wad Arabica Food, as proved . eh as indigestion (dyspepsia), pertemly curable by Du Barry's health restoring Itevalenta been considered DoPele ss consumption, habitual constipation, diarr f liver evers , c soreo za - cough, asthma, derangements,n er o us leB a , hee,norrhoide, ce n biliousness` °rrhi d 3 plaints, flatulency, catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the lima, all gastric head and cars, rheumatism, gout, impurities, eruptions, ,sleeplessness, acidity, pal pitation, a, throats, i diphtheria,ic neuralgia, ralgia, - 1 artburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramps, pitation, lc spasms, nausea and sickness even in pregnancy or at sea, sinking tits, bronchitis, scrofula, tightness o f the chest, pains in the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders, i c.

COURT . OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) RYAN V. WOOD—LIBEL. The following appeared in part of our impression of yesterday Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., Sergeant Robinson, and Mr. J. 0. Griffiths appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. W. Williams for the defendant. Mr. Hawkins stated the case. This was an action brought by the plaintiff for a libel, to which the defendant pleaded not guilty ; and secondly, that the words _written and published were true. The plaintiff was the son of a medical gentleman in lreland, but had for upwards of 30 years been resident in this country. He was engaged as a musical critic on the MorningWerald and Morning Stan dard, and the defendant was the proprietor of the Orchestra' a weekly musical newspaper. On the Bth of July last he alleged libel was published, and under the head of "Black Mail in Journalism," contained an insinuation that the plaintiff had obtained the services of certain eminent musi cal artists to perform at concerts, which he gave annually, by using his influence as a musical critic in preference to paying them for their services. Nothing was more calcu lated to damage the reptitation of the plaintiff, and he was bound to bring the present -antion to vindicate his character. Mr. Desmond Ryan was examined—He said that for 16 years he had been a writer, and had written several librettos for operas. He had been nine months secretary to Mr. Lumley. He was sub-editor of the .Musical World. All tho artistes who sang at his concerts were his friends, with the exception of Madame Harriet Whippen, who sang for him at her own request. In cross-examinatio n he thought that a critic should witness a performance before he criticised it, but he had adopted a different coin-se in regard to a performance given by Madame Bosio. He blamed and praised those who sang at his concerts impartially. The Musical World was published by Messrs. Duncan, Davison, and Co., and he was not aware that there was any editor. He certainly did not fill that office. He knew that epigrams were pub lished in that paper, but they were not written by him— he was not clever enough. Mr. Coleridge—Oh, that would depend on their merits. There were squibs in the paper. Mr. Ryan—Yes; and there was one on you, Mr. Cole ridge. (Laughter.) Mr. Coleridge—Yes, and 1 brought it on myself. I should like to see it. Mr. Ryan—l shall send you a copy. The witness then stated that he was in no way influenced in his criticisms by the fact that some singers gave him their services gra tuitously at his concerts. He praised and blamed them impartially. In re-examination, the witness ex- 1 plained, with reference to Madame Bosio's performance, that he had attended the rehearsal and made arrangements with a friend to inform him if the performance went off as he expected, and in the event of his not seeing him, he was to conclude that it had. His friend did not keep his ap pointment, and he wrote the article accordingly. The Lord Chief Justice— That was unfortunate. Mr. Ryan—lt was to me, for I was dismissed imme diately. (A laugh.) The Lord Chief Justice—Did other gentlemen on the press give concerts ? Mr. Ryan—Mr. Howard Glover did when he was con nected with the Morning Post. Mr. Sims Reeves said that he was a friend of the plain tiff's and gave him his services gratuitously. His fee for attending a concert was 30 guineas. He was not influenced by the plaintiff's position—he looked to the public. Madame Sainton-Dolby gave evidence to the same effect. Mr. Coleridge—What is your fee, 20 or 30 guineas? Madame Sainton-Dolby--Am I obliged to state my terms ? Mr. Coleridge—Then I shall not ask you. Madame Lancia said she wrote to the plaintiff, asking hint to be allowed to sing at his concerts. On the last occasion she was unable to give him her services, having another engagement. Cross-examined—She knew that the plaintiff was a theatrical critic when she wrote to him. Sho gave her services to Mr. Ryan gratuitously, but Mr. Howard Glover paid her when she sang at his concerts. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Benedict gave similar evidence. Counsel having addressed the court, ne witnesses being called for the defence, His lordship summed up. The jury, without leaving the box, found a verdict for the plaintiff, and assessed the damages at £250. 124 30 681 ; 121 97 6i 126 I 51 94; I 136} 7 944 5 58 1)2 1 721 3 1061 j ,l 1 1 7 a 66 7LI I 3 1041 lc° 461 5 8 ITISS. 94i 4 3 SO 79/ SPORTING INTELLIGEbis Da.
