The following circular has been addressed by Count Waleweki to the diplomatic agents of France : Monsieur, —According to the intelligence which reaches me from many parts of Germany, the speech uttered by the Emperor on the occasion of the closing of the Universal Exposition has produced, as it was easy to foresee, a profound impression. Nevertheless, it has not been appreciated everywhere alike, and it has become the subject of diverse interpretations. It bears, however, but one, and the neutral states cannot mistake sentiments which it is evident they can only commend. The Emperor has said that he desired a prompt and durable peace. I have not to dwell upon this declara tion—it explains itself, and needs no commentary. In addressing neutral States, in order to invite them to offer wishes in this sense with him, his Imperial Ma jesty has given sufficient evidence of the value which he attaches to their opinion, and of the part which ho as signs to their influence in the march of events. Such, in fact, has been his manner in viewing their position from the commencement of the diplomatic conflict which preceded hostilities. The Emperor has always thought that if they had then more forcibly defined their opinions upon the subject in dispute, they would have exercised a salutary action upon the determinations of the Power that provoked the war. Their position has undergone no change in the eyes of his Imperial Majesty, and they can to-day, by a firm and decided attitude, hasten the denouement of a contest which, in his conviction, they might have prevented. It is with this thought that the Emperor requests them to boldly make known their dispositions towards the belligerent powers, and to put the weight of their opinion in the scales of the respective forces. This ap peal, so well understood and so warmly received by an audience composed of representatives of all nations, is in truth but a solemn homage paid to the importance and the Efficacy of the role devolving upon neutrals in the actual crisis. (Signed) WALEWSKI. RESCRIPT ADDRESSED BY TIIN CZAR TO PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF. The Emperor of Russia has addressed to Prince Gortchakoff the following rescript, dated Simphero pol, Nov. 12 : _ _ . . - "During my sojourn with the army in the Crimea I have remarked with peculiar satisfaction that the soldier has preserved his air of vigour and contentment in spite of the unparalleled labours which ha has undergone since the defence of Sebastopol, and, moreover, that order in all departments—anci this is the basis of the good organisation of an army—has' been undis turbed. This excellent condition of the army testifies to the solicitude and indefatigable exertions by which alone you have attained such an end, and that, too, in a moment when all your activity, all your thoughts, must have been directed to combating an enemy who is powerful, brave, and sparing of no sacrifice. Seeing the situation which nature has created at Sebastopol, falling back before the enemy step by step, and guided by the wise motives by which an accomplished com mander must be influenced, you have left the enemy but ruins dearly bought at the price of the blood which has been shed. Having withdrawn the troops by a way up to that time unknown, you are again ready to meet the foe and to fight him with the cou rage you have always displayed in leading your regi ments to the field. In rendering full justice to your signal services, it is agreeable to me, after having personally expressed them to you, to renew here my sincere acknowledgments. I pray you, Prince, to believe in my invariable goodwill in your regard. " Yours, sincerely attached, "ALEXANDER." MUSIC ON THE CONTINENT. Madame Borgbi-Mauro, we learn, has signed an en gagement for three years with the Grand Opera —a most valuable acquisition. M. Roger has also been re-engaged for a lengthened period. Both these artistes have, how ever, important engagements to fulfil prior to commenc ing with the Opera. Madame Borghi-Mamo proceeds, at the close of the Italian season in Paris, to Vienna, where she is engaged for the ensuing season. M. Roger proceeds immediately to the Hague, and thence to other engagements. It is stated that M. Giorgio Ronconi is engaged at the Italian Opera. Mr. Wallace, an English composer of celebrity, has arrived in Paris, where he proposes to remain for the winter. Could not either of our lyric theatres find a place for his popular opera—" Maritana." An accident, which might have been attended with serious results, happened to M. Levassor, a few nights ago, at Brussels, while playing in "La Sceur de Jo crisse," a favourite Palais Royal piece. The part is that of a clumsy servant having allowed a parrot to escape from a cage, be replaces it by a cat—the cat, in this in stance, evinced the most decided opposition to being thus incarcerated, and bit M. Levassor in the hand so severely as to cause a copious flow of blood, and he was announced to be unable to continue the performance. The admirers of Levassor will, however, be glad to hear that on the following night he was able to resume the course of his represer.tations, and has since continued them without interruption. Marshal Pelissier has addressed a most flattering let ter, accompanied by a ring in brilliants, to M. Missler, in acknowlegment of the " Marche Triomphale," dedi cated to his Excellency by that clever young composer. The Minister of War has also directed it to be performed by every regiment in the service, and it has likewise been ordered for the bands of the national guards of the Seine. At Trieste "Poliuto" has succeeded to "LePro pbete." The principal part is said to be admirablysung by Madame Lesmewska. Apropos of the music, the writer of the critique in La Pama draws invidious corn parisons between the styles of Donizetti and Meyerbeer, and exclaims Viva it genio "Il Trovatore" is being sung at Rovigo by Madame Salvini-Donatelli, a well-known name en the other side of the Alps, Madame Ribinska, and Messrs. Gragiani and Pacini. The success is stated to have passed all con ception. Piccolomini's spell over the Turin dilettanti, commenced in "La Traviata," continues as power ful as ever in Poliuto. We hope Paris will have an op portunity of hearing this patrician songstress, before the length of her career emulates the antiquity of her race. At the secondary Italian Theatre, a Madlle. Cirelli, whose voice, youth, and beauty appear to have made a powerful impression on the public, has appeared in Don Pasquale.—Galignani. SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, DEC. 3.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—The portrait model of Victor Emmanuel has just been completed, and is now exhibited in the great room of this establishment. The likeness of his Majesty is exceedingly good, and his dress is that of a Sardinian General—blue frock coat, grey trousers, both ornamented with silver lace—and the taste and execution displayed is highly creditable to the artistes. During the cattle show at the Baker-street Bazaar this exhibition will be entered at the usual door, which will be, we understand; permitted by the manager of this truly English exhibition.`et COURT or SESSION.-0 wing to a severe domestic be reavement sustained by the Dean of Faculty and Lord Wood, both of these learned and distinguished gentle men were absent from the court on Friday. In conse quence of Lord Wood's absence in the Second Division (Lord Murray being at present indisposed), there was no quorum of judges, and after the Lord Justice-Clerk and Lord Cowan had, with the assistance of Lord Handy side from the Outer House, passed several bills, the Division adjourned. In the First Division, and in the Court generally, numerous cases were postponed in con sequence of the absence of the Dean. Among others the Torbanehill case in the First Division, in which Messrs. Russell's contract to lease the coal mines is sought to be reduced on the alleged ground of fraud, was postponed for a fortnight.—Edinburgh, Courant. Those men of the depots of the Provisional Battalion, Chatham,, who have gone through their course of preli minary instruction in the Enfield rifle practice of dis tance and aiming commenced yesterday, for the first time, ball practice in the marshes, St. Mary s-creek, under their instructor, Captain William Nott, 83d Re giment. Col. Jervois, Commandant, Provisional Battalion, and Colonels Parker and Elliott, Royal Marines, will assem ble this day at the District Military Prison, Fort Cla rence, for the purpose of making a month l y inspection. INCENDIARISM IN BERKSHIRE.—The high price of corn and the consequent dearness of food, with the low rate of wages which prevails, are creating dissatisfaction among the labouring classes, and this is now being de veloped in acts of incendiaristn. It is now about a fort night since that much agricultural property was de stroyed by an incendiary in the Vale of Berks, but this week a similar act has been perpetrated in the eastern Part of the county. On Wednesday night last, between 8 and 9 o'clock. a fire broke out in the rickyard on Hin ton House Farin, Hurst, about a mile from the station on the Great Western Railway. Immediately upon the discovery beiug made an alarm was raised, and in a short time hundreds of persons assembled at the scene of devastation. There were eight ricks in the yard, but the two standing in the centre, and the three on the south side, notwithstanding the liberal supply of water and the strenuous exertions of the two fire brigades from Reading, were entirely destroye d. Sporting Intelligence. TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY. Subscribers mustered pretty numerously, but the ope rations were comparatively few, and for the most part unimportant.

NUMEROUS FIRES.-LOSS OF THREE LIVES. A fire happened yesterday morning, at the residence of Mr. Crab, No. 291, Davies-street, Berkeley-square, terminating fatally to Mrs. Frances Crab, aged 60 years. It appears that the deceased wad afflicted with a para lytic; affection ; an attack came on, the most piercing shrieks for help issued from her room, and she was dis covered nearly burnt to a cinder. The unfortunate wo man was conveyed to St. George's Hospital, where she shortly afterwards expired. A. second fire occurred yesterday on the premises of Mr. W. Ridge, corn chandler, Grosvenor-row, caused by a candle. The second floor burnt out. Insured in the Phoenix. A third destructive fire broke out on the premises of Mr. J. Merchant, extensive cabinet carver, Ann-street, Pollard-row, Bethnal-green. Owing to the inflam mable nature of the stock, the flames spread with amazing - rapidity, and the house was nearly burned out. The cause is unknown. Insured in the Sun and Phoenix. A fourth at Mr. G. C. Strong's, wine merchant, East cheap, causing considerable damage. A fifth fire happened at Mr. Caplin's, Bedford-road, Lower-read, Rotherhithe, destroying the parlour and front rooms. The cause of this fire is also unknown. Insured in the Atlas and other offices. A sixth fire, involvine , the loss of life and a serious amount of property, took place on the extensive premises of Mr. W. Mott, linendraper and post-office, Broad street, Ratcliff. The constable on duty raised an alarm, and managed to awake the inmates. The proprietor and family happily effected a safe retreat, after awakening the servants by calling loudly to them. Several attempts were made to get to their rooms, but the flames were rushing up the staircase so rapidly that the constables were compelled to make a precipitate retreat. G. H. King, the shopman, appeared at the third-floor window, supplicating the bystanders to rescue him from a hor rible death. The police had already sent for the jumping sheets, the Royal Society not having the means to sup ply this end of the metropolis with fire escapes, but the flames caught the unfortunate creature, and he jumped from the third floor, falling with such a tremendous crash that his leg bones protruded through his skin. The fire was not subdued until the premises were destroyed and the adjoining houses damaged. Cause of the fire unknown. The loss will fall on the Sun, Phoenix, and other offices. _ _ _ _ Lastly, another fire broke out at Mr. J. Talbut's, 8, Gough square, attended with loss of life to Mr. J. Talent, aged 40 years. The fire was discovered by a youth in the adjoining room, who was nearly suffo cated. On the alarm being raised the engines were in attendance, and the firemen discovered the unfortunate man's legs burnt off. The cause of the calamity is un known. The premises are insured in the West of Eng land. THE CASK OP ALICE GREY. STAFFORD, December 3.—This person, who has as sumed several aliases, and who has figured in various parts of the country during the last few years, in bring ing false charges against individuals, and causing several to be imprisoned, was, it will be recollected, recently committed for trial, on a charge of perjury, having given evidence against two boys, named Parry and Randle, at the October sessions, at Stafford, in consequence of which they were sentenced to twelve calendar months' imprisonment, on a charge of having robbed her. A good deal of excitement had been occasioned in antici pation of the trial of this female. Mr. Huddleston and Mr. Scotland were engaged to conduct the prosecution ; and two learned gentlemen were also engaged for the defence of the prisoner. In the evening the grand jury entered the court, and, to the evident astonishment of all present, the bill against Alice Grey declared by the clerk of assize to be ignored. Shortly afterwards, on the grand jury being discharged, Mr. Scotland said be had the honour to appear as the representative of the Attorney-General in the case of Alice Grey, in which the grand jury had thrown out the bill. He had tele graphed to London to that effect, and it might be neces sary to frame another bill of indictment against her to be sent before a grand jury of the county, and he begged to ask his lordship not to discharge her until the end of the assizes, or at any rate that she should not be dis charged at present. His lordship, on looking over the depositions, would exercise his discretion in the matter. He (Mr. Scotland) had carefully looked into the case, and bad directed the attorney to telegraph to town, and if his opinion had any influence that course would be taken. Mr. Motteram, one of the counsel for the prisoner, opposed this application, saying he saw no reason why so unusual a course should be taken because his learned friend appeared for the Attorney-General. Mr. Scotland said he did not put it on that ground, but the Government bad, after carefully considering the case, taken up the prosecution, and he thought his lord ship, after looking at the depositions, would probably think it a proper case to prefer another bill of indictment. At any rate, be trusted the prisoner would not be dis charged until he had had an opportunity of hearing from town. _ . _ _ - The Judge asked if Mr. Scotland could name any pre cedent? _ _ _ Mr. Scotland said it was frequently done ; and, in re ply to Mr. Motteram, said a new indictment might be framed out of the same facts as those on which the pre sent charge rested. Mr. Hill, the junior counsel for the prisoner, said the prosecution had hal ample time to have prepared another bill. _ _ - 11 fr. Scotland. said it was impossible to have antici pated what Lad occurred. They were quite unprepared for it. _ _ His Lordship raid that doubtless for some good reason —though he must confess he did not know for which reason—the grand jury, to his surprise, had thrown out the bill. He had read the depositions, and was certainly not prepared for such a result. He, however, saw no sufficient reason why she should not be discharged—in fact he did not see that he had any power to detain her. If Mr. Scotland, however, could show him any precedent before the court rose, he would be ready to consider it. The court had not risen when our report was des patched, and nothing further up to that time had trans pired. LAW INTELLIGEVC F.—Dec. 3. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.- (Before Mr. Justice Crowder and a Special Jury.) _ • [A portion of the following appeared in our impres sion of yesterday.] HAWKER V. BEALE, BART.-ORM CON. Parin De Marchein—ln October, 1854, I was servant to the last witness. I remember Mrs. Hawker taking the house. Sarah Kean used to wait upon Mrs. Hawker, and I assisted her. Sir Henry Seale came there the first evening Mrs. Hawker came, and he did not come any more for about a fortnight. He then came every day. He used to come to lunch, and he usually dined with Mrs. Hawker. He was in the habit of staying as late as 12 and 1 o'clock. Ido not know that anybody ustd the dressing-room. I saw Sir Henry's hat-box and port manteau there. They had his name on. There was washing apparatus there. I know the water and towels had been used, but I do not know by whom. Mrs. Hawker called it the " dressing-room." I have known Sir Henry take leave of Mrs. Hawker to go away at night. Mrs. Hawker rang the bell for the servant, and after that the door was opened, and I and my mistress afterwards looked to see that the door was fastened. In the morning I have found it unfastened. I have assisted Sarah Kean in making Mrs. Hawker's bed, and ,from the pressure on the pillows it appeared that two persons bad slept ;n it. One morning I saw a red sash on the bed, and Sarah Kean said it was Captain Murray's. I have seen Sir Henry Seale wear such a sash as that. Once when he dressed in the house to dine with Mrs. Hawker, and again when I went to identify him. It was the morning after I saw Sir Henry dressed for dinner that I saw the sash on the bed. Breakfast, with two cups, had been taken into the bed-room, and I should think that there was enough to eat for three or four. (A. laugh.) I have seen Sir Henry three times in Mrs. Hawker's bed-room. Once when I went to close the attic window. I have seen him frequently come out of Mrs. Hawker's bed-room, and I have heard him in the room talking at two o'clock in the morning. I heard a gentleman's voice in the bed-room. No other gentleman ever called but once. Mrs. Hawker gave orders that if any gentleman except Sir Henry called she was to be not at home. Saw Sir Henry standing by the fire-place in the bed-room. Mrs. Hawker was si ting in an arm-chair. She rose and went to the bed-side, and he followed her. There was fire-light, but no candle light. I saw something improper between their. One night Mrs. Hawker let Sir Henry out, and they kissel before Sir Henry left. I saw them kiss also in the drawing-room. I saw Sir Henry once leave at eight or nine in the morning. He came down stairs. I had not seen him come that morning, but he had been there as late as 12 on the preceding night. When Mrs. Hawker kissed Sir Henry on leaving, she said, " Harry, dear, how long will it be before you are back ?" and he said, "About half an hour," and he did come back to tea. Sir Henry has told me not to let anybody in at the front door, but we were to look up the area, and to see who was there. I remember the quarrel between them. Mrs. Hawker went away, and Henry, before he left, wrote a letter, and I looked at it. The Attorney-General—How did it begin. Sir F. Thesiger objected to this evidence, and it was withdrawn. Witness continued—After Mrs. Hawker came in, Sarah Kean went out and brought back Sir Henry. Mrs. Hawker was looking through the blind to see them when they came. Mrs. Hawker's sister caine with her, but went away before Sarah Kean and Sir Henry came back. I have subsequently identified Sir Henry Seale, when Ambrose went with me. I had no doubt he was the gentleman whs had visited Mrs. Hawker. Cross-examined—l did not know it was Sir Henry Seale until three months after Mrs. Hawker came. I saw the sash upon the bed after I kne e it was Sir Henry Seale. It was 11 o'clock in the morning, and the sash was hanging on the side of the bed. On the night when Sir Henry was in regimentals, the bell rang for Sarah Kean. I went on pretence to lock the area gate, and to look to see if anybody went out. Nobody went out. It was the same night that I saw the scene in the bedroom. He was in regimentals. The door was partly open. It was between 6 and 7 o'clock. Seeing him standing by the fire-place, I stood at the door. Mrs. Hawker went to the bed, and I looked on. I did not cough or do anything to annoy them, or smile as I do now at the recollection of it. (A laugh.) I saw criminal intercourse between them. I stayed till they came out behind the closet door, and when I heard them corning out I went into the closet. My observation lasted a quarter of an hour. I was dreadfully shocked. I was ashamed to tell anybody of it. When I went down my mis tress found fault with me, and wanted to know where I had been all the time, and I said, " To look at the fires." The first person I told of it was my mistress, and she told the detective. I never told anybody of it till last week. I came up to Plumstead with Mr. Crook, the brother-in-law of Mrs. Spurling. When I left Plymouth I went into ser vice at Devonport. I came up to Plumstead about three months ago, on account of this business. Mr. Crook has supported me since. I never told anybody I was to have 1003. ; but Mrs. Townsend, with whom I lived at Devon - port, told me I was to have 1003. in this business. Before that I had never told anybody what I had seen. I saw the detective at Plumstead. When I saw Sir Henry kiss Mrs. Hawker at the street door I was at the top of the kitchen stairs. The hall was lighted with gas, and I was not far from them. When I saw them kiss in the drawing-room I was coming down the stairs, and the door was open, so that I could see. What I had seen in the bed-room I knew was improper for a married lady. Sir F. Thesiger—Or for a single lady. (A. laugh.) Re-examined—ls this the detective you mean ? Witness—Yes. The Attorney-General —That gentleman is Messrs. Surr and Gribble's managing clerk. Witness continued—That gentleman has not said any thing to me about money, nor has anybody else, except Mrs. Townsend. Benjamin Ambrose—l am a process-server for the County Court of Devonshire. I took the two last wit nesses to see Sir Henry Seale where he was on duty. I have served Sarah Kean on two occasions with sub 'scenes to appear here. Sir F. Thesiger—And she is here, is she not ? Witness—l believe so. (Laughter.) This was the plaintiff's case. The Attorney-General, in summing np the evidence, urged upon the jury that it was clearly shown by Mrs. Hawker's letter that the insinuation which had been made, that she bad been compelled to leave her home through her husband's ill-treatment, was entirely false. That letter, to which he had already referred, he would now read fully ; it was as follows : " My dear Johnnie, —lt is useless my saying I will not write to you ; I cannot help writing to you to en treat you to live with you, I am so very wretched. I hardly think you would persist in refusing my request if implore that see my sorrow. Once you wrote to me to that I would return to you, or you should go mad. I do say that, but I beg you to forgive me, and have mercy on me, and come to me. Be generous, dear Johnnie, and forgive ; you shall never repent returning if you will return ; there shall never be any temper again on my part, and I will do all I can to make you happy, and to win back the affection which seems gone from me. Do listen to me, Johnnie, and believe me I am so miserable. Let us meet, and never name the past. I am sure your mother would rather we lived together than separate, if we lived in peace and mutual forbearance. With regard to money matters, I am sorry that your mother has had so much to pay fi,r us, but for the future, if you will only live with me, I promise on my side to be as prudent as pee sible, and if you made me an allowance for dress I would not have any bills. I want to sell the little carriage, and what I get for that would nearly cover the expense of getting settled in this place, and I have not any other bills, and never wish to have any again. Do, dear Johnnie, come to me, and forgive me, as you hope to he forgiven. I will do anything you wish. If you like, let us sell everything we have and pay your mother as far as we can, arid then, starting fairly, let us pray for God's help, and the future may be very happy for us yet. I do not expect you to love me as much as before, but come and let me show you how I love you.—Ever your affectionate wife, L. M. HAWKER. It was a most unworthy insinuation, especially after the temperate manner in which he had opened the case, and they might allow him now to say, that if the case were not an aggravated one before, it had become so by the manner in which the defence had been attempted to be supported. He could not help stigmatising the cruelty of a man who could instruct his counsel to make such in sinuations, for which there was no ground, and which Were of no weight as a defence to this action. Could it be possible that his learned friend hoped to persuade them that Sir Henry Seale had not had criminal inter course with the plaintiff's wife ? Could it be supposed that Sir Henry would have visited a lady in her doubt ful and ambiguous position, living apart from her hus band, except for some improper purpose ? and there was no doubt that he had visited her at late hours in the night. What business had he there? He was no early friend of hers nor of her husband's ; nor was he ever heard of until suddenly he formed INTrs. Haw• ker's acquaintance, and then lie was continually w ith her afterwards until twelve or one in the morning, and no doubt during many a night; and if lie went out the question was, " Harry, dear, when will you be back ?" If that were all the evidence he submitted it would be amply sufficient ; but it was of a more positive character; and if it could be shown by the defendant that he bad not slept at Mrs. Hawker's, why was not Sarah Kean called, who, if this statement were untrue, could aronce scatter the foul calumny to the winds ? He thought that he had a right to complain that, in stead of leaving to the jury only the question of damages, which the plaintiff was obliged by law to recover in order to obtain from the Legislature a final divorce, the de fendant had boldly come into court to deny the fact of adulterous intercourse altogether, and it under the cir cumstances they should, as he confidently anticipated that they would, be satisfied that adultery bad taken place, they would think that the mode in which the de fence had been conducted was a gross aggravation of the original wrong which had been inflicted upon the plain iii by Sir Henry Seale. Sir I'. Thesiger addressed the jury for the defendant, but called no witnesses. He said that he was always submissive to the lessons which he received from his learned friend the Attorney-General in the co nductin g of a case, for there was no better tactician than he ; but lie must forgive him for saying that the reflections he had made in reference to the manner in . which learned this case had been conducted were quite unfounded. His earned friend seemed almost to say that it was the duty of the defendant's counsel not to question the sesacity of Vie evidence offered in support of this charge. His it arned friend had read Mrs. Hawker's letter ; but what had been the conduct of her husband upon receiving that let ter? He was then living with his mother, a short die tance off, watching her every movement, in the hope of finding what might enable him to get his final divorce. He was shooting, otter-hunting, and going to balls, and showing that be was careless of his wife's feelings and as to that re-union which his friend said had been inter rupted by the defendant. See how the plaintiff conducted this case. He brought this action, and then he did a thing unheard-of in cases of this kind— he came person ally into court, so that he might have the earliest infor mation as to his success in this proceeding against Sir H. Seale. If all he wanted was a divorce, the smallest amount of damages would be sufficient if an act of mis conduct on defendant's part were proved. The Attorney-General intimated his dissent from that statement. Sir F. Thesiger said he knew of several cases of the kind in which only 40s. damages had been given, and in one case the damages amounted only to is. This was a case of the last importance to Sir Henry, for he was a married man, and a father, and he occupied a position of considerable importance. He was, therefore, natu rally anxious that this matter should be anxiously con sidered by a dispassionate jury before they gave a verdict upon it. Sir Henry was charged, not only wish one of the highest offences against the peace and well-being of society, but with what was also a grave sin, and the only consolation he had was that a conclusion would not be arrived at on light and trifling grounds. In actions of this kind it was their duty anxiously and carefully to watch the evi -1 deuce ; for the only defence that a person charged with such an offence bad was, that the jury should carefully scrutinise the evidence, and the character and behaviour of the witnesses called to prove it. He submitted that 1 1 in this case there had been an enormous amount of fiction I and exaggeration based upon a small portion of fact, which might, in truth, amount to imprudence, but which it was sought to aggravate into criminality. The learned counsel then commented in detail upon the different state ments that had been given in evidence, and contended that it was not sufficient to fasten this charge upon Sir Henry Seale and Mrs. Hawker. His Lordship read to the jury his notos of the evi dence, and left it to them to say whether the defendant was guilty of the adultery ; and, if so, what was the amount of damages to which the plaintiff was entitled. The jury, without retiring from their box, gave a ver• dict for the plaintiff. Damages, 1001. Country Markets. CHELMSFORD—Nov. 30.

A. Plymouth paper says—" The case of the young lady is a sad one. She was the prop and support of a widowed mother and several young children, and at the time of the accident, we are informed, she bad a good engage ment coming on at the Dublin Theatre, where she is to play Columbine ; and she took her engagement here pre vious to her going on to the Irish capital. Not only is she a great public sufferer, but her family suffers se verely also."

I have suffered these 33 years continually from diseased lungs, spitting of blood, liver derangement, deafness, singing in the cars, constipation, debility, shortness of breath, and cough, and during that period taken so much medicine that I can safely say I have laid out upwards of a thousand pounds at the chemists and doctors. Indeed I was iu utter despair, and never expected to get over it, when I was fortunate enough to become acquainted with your Revs leuta Arabica, which, Heaven be praised, restored me to a state of health which I long since despaired of attaining. My lungs, liver, stomach, head, and ears are all right, my hear ing perfect, and my recovery is a marvel to all my acquaint ances.
