That mos the cam which the plaintiff; would have to lay

had put no plea of juatilloatioa as the record, so so to have
admitted of a ventilation of the fiat., and be (the learned
mums!) naked for each dames ss would protect Um. Yllio

which Providence bad gifted Ma

Mr. Nichols, the pabiblisr, Mr. Slack, the plaintiffs' soli-
citor, Colonel Fitzgerald, Oohed Smith, the Rev. Mr. Tele-
com* and other vitamins were tolled to prove the oinetirqr.
Mr. Slack and Mr. Timm% were arose-examined at great
length, with a view to elk* that there were rumours as to the
matters *Hopi in the pamphlet, and that the charges were
not Invested by Mr. Lemke.
Mr. Pitfall then addressed the jury for the defendant in •

him as a gentleman who wee edneated in the manners of the
peat age, when free liaises was accorded to mare, and litera-
ture had not been purified, sad who, with the virtues, had
imbibed some of the vices of the WNW poste.
With respect to the question of damages, he re-
minded the jury that they would have no right
b sword them as a punishment of the dehadante
but timely to meet the Injury, which they considered that
the pleintiffe had sustained. The learned counsel weighed
and examined the evidence adduced on the part of the plain-
tiffs, sad Idt it to the jury to deal with the case as they
considered its malts demanded.

It to the jury to divide their verdkt, by saying first what

HEREFORD, Mcmn.tv.
The time honoured festival of the three choirs of
Wteseeher, Hereford, and Gloucester is always an important
Oak kr the embed/al city in which the meeting is held.
This Isar the ineeting fall, to the lot of Hereford, and seems
May to be a incoseshil one. These meetings, it is well
known, have for their object the support of a diocesan charity
for the maintenance of the widows and orphans of the clergy
of the three dioceses ; but they have also formed a nucleus
ibr the extension of the study of sound chariest music in the
rovisos.. The predthmt on this occasion is Lord Bate-
man, Lord-Lieutenant of Herefordshire, and the vice-pre-
sidents are the Bishops of Hereford, Gloucester and Bristol
and Worcester.

The morning has been fully oocupied by the rehearsals at
the eathednl. The chorus and band, with moat of the prin-
ciple* met early, sad Mr. Townehend Smith, who is oon-
doctor of the festival by Arens of his office of organist of
Hereford Cathedral, tart over each portions of the seared
mimic as the choristers were WA familiar with. The prin.
algal vocalists are Madame Clara Novelle, Mrs. Was., Nis
Louisa Vhining, Mrs. Clam Hepworth, Wee Lemelles,
Madame Viardot Gerais, Yr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Matsu
enelth, M►. Thomas, red /la. W. Heary-Bbgrarer
hada the bead. Mr. Amish (ergeaht of Gloucester
Cathedral) officiates at the organ hen; and /Kr.
Done (organist of Worcester Cathedral) Is pianist. The
choral band has been selected from the three cathedral
choirs and choral societies of Hereford, Gionahter, and Wor.
costar, and the Liverpool Philharmonic Society. The bend,
as usual, is chiefly made up of London celebrities.
The programme of the week may be briefly summed-up.
To-morrow (Tuesday) there is fall cathedral servlce, and a
sermon by Archdeacon Wareing. Spahr'. overture Loaf
Judgment, will be played before the service by the band.
The le //Mr will be Handel's " Dettingen," and the jubilate
and psalm chant are composed by Mr. Townahend Smith.
Them are three maims :-1. From the Last Asoigrregtorith
the chorus " Blaming, honour, glory," &c.; 2, llandelasohn's
Is the Hart Pilaf ; and, 3, an anthem by the Bmv. J. A.
G. °ashy, Bart., who is precentor of the cethadral. It was
composed for the degree of Bachelor of Maio, by the rev.
baronet. On Tuesday evening there will be a miscellaneous
coned at the Shire-halt,including a selsolloa from Mozart's
Cieweasia de rite. On Wednesday Meadelaseha's JUI'MA
will be the oratorio, and there will be another eveniageosecert
with a dame to follow. On Thursday morning the seared
musk at the cathedral will consist of selection from Mee-
&demobs' eftkalie sad Haydn'. Onetime, with an English
version of Resehre &awl Mater. Oa Thursday evening
the last secular concert will be given at the Shire-hall, sad
on Friday morning the masksl performances close with
Headers Messiah at the cathedral. By way of wind-op
there will be a grand full-dress bell at the fihm-hall an
Friday night, under distinguished patronage.
The arrivals have already beset aoasiderelle. sad I bear
that lodgings are pretty freely let, though visitors used not
bat finding abundant accommodation. The railways have

an been liberal in their arrangements, and the Gnat West-
ern, Hereford Rom and Gloweeter, end Neiman Aber-
gave ay and Hereford lines, specie] trains will be run after
eaoh evening occeert, enabling puttee to got to their homes
distant 30 to 40 nilles the same night. The natter ap-
pears to have been taken up again, and should this premise
be Milled, Herefortmay look for a enemedtd meedng.
