CRYSTAL PALACE.

Yesterday's festivities at the Crystal Palms were
consecrated to the annivensry of Balaclava, and were, of
coarse, chiefly of a lathery character. It we. no fault of Jo
Crystal Palau Conesary that the Russians should have
chosen the 46th of October tor the stack which was defeated
by the immortal charges of oar light and bevy cavalry, or
elms perhaps a period of the neon might have bean Masud
more suitable for out-door amusements; but, as it was, every
possible use woe merle of the wintry gloom, and such spirts
Ala had been Intended to coon oil in the gardens were enacted
a the central transept. There were a good many soldier■
preset, chitin belonging to the different regiments of Foot
Guards, but the attendance of civilians was nth./ minty.
The °needier., Coldstream, Scots Fusilier., and Artillery
were well repreeenied, many of the *oldies being profosely
decorated with Crimean and Indira iodala, and
all evidently bent on enjoying the holiday which had been
prepared for them. The ejecta futures of the day were the
wrestling in the transept and the belles ascent by Mr.
Co=wed. In the first, Private Tyson, tat Battalion Soots
Fusilier Guards, was the succeasfel ethles, throwing every
successive opponent with seemingly increasiag facility, and
duly retiring at the and to spend his winnings with the men
whom he had defwtsd, aceording to the good old Cumbeland
custom. Mr. Coowell'a secant, although somewhat re-
boded by the density of the atmosphere, we very emcee-
ful, and had an admirable effect, the grounds and whole sur-
rounding country being so peculiarly well adapted for
setting off to the beet advantage an aeronautic spectacle.
Them was also an unusually good display of waterworks,
and a variety of excellent music, military and chemical,
during the day.

PIEDMONT.

A Turin letter, of Jas. 4, contains the following
conjectural analysis of the King of Sardinia's forth-
coming speech :
"The government cannot talk of war in the midst
' of peace. It does not fear war, and I do not say that
it does not desire it, but it cannot confouud its de-
sires with the reality of things and a regard to the

conventionalisms of politics. -The speech will not
contradict the current rumours, because it is not for
the King to do so; neither will it disapprove them,
because they indicate a movement of opinion which
cannot be displeasing to his government—a move-
ment which is, moreover, favourable alike to the na-
tional policy of Piedmont and to that of the house
of Savoy. On this head, therefore, the speech
will be limited to a few phrasc3 which, without
saying anything positive, will give it to be under-
stood that as the King will never flinch from his
word and his duty, so he is persuaded that he may
always rely upon the courage and self-sacrifloe of his
people to support and second his government in all
their efforts for the development of every practical
liberty at home and for upholding a national policy
abroad. A few words will probably be thrown in
with the view of preventing public opinion from
giving way to alarm, and no new subjects of un-
easiness will be started. The opportunity will,
however, be taken to say that the government relies
upon the nation to support the King in every pos-
sible eventuality."

However well-informed the writer of the above
letter may be, it is obvious that under present cir-
cumstances the draft of King Victor Emmanuel's
speech most be liable to alteration from hour to hour.

(1110 X OUR OWN 001

LISBON, JAN. 2.
I am informed that the Marquis de Lisle de Liry
will shortly be replaced by another French minister ;
the late disagreeable business of the ship Charles et
Georges having no doubt rendered each a step pru-
dent and advisable. It is said that the Marquis de
Lisle will be succeeded by M. Fort-Rouen, who was
here in 1842 as Secretary of Legation, and is mar-
ried to a Portuguese lady.
The reply to the discourse from the throne has
been weed by the Chamber of Deputies, and is now
under discussion in the Upper House. As might
have been anticipated, the chief topic of interest has
been that of the (larks et Georges. The question
has been ably and thoroughly discussed in the repre-
sentative chamber, and has excited a wonderful
degree of interest; and the proceedings of the
English parliament are anxiously awaited in Lisbon.
Although the Brasil packets now bring clean
bills of health from all the ports at which they call,
the quarantine at Lisbon is still continued. This
aboard and useless institution puts everybody to in-
convenience, delays the mails, confines the passen-
gers for several days in the lazaretto, and is alto-
gether a great obstacle to commerce. It would
really be of great service if the higher powers in
England would bring this matter forcibly before the
Portuguese government.
The Count de Vitztham has been delegated by the
King of Saxony to negotiate the preliminaries of the
marriage between the Infanta Donna Maria Anna
and Prince George. The Count de Vitethum is
already known in Lisbon, where he came as envoy
extraordinary to felicitate the King, Dom Pedro, on
the part of his sovereign, on the occasion of the royal
proclamation.
The accounts of the late vintage are very satisfac-
tory, and the yield of wine has been even more
abundant than was at first anticipated. The prices
of ports, and all other descriptions of Portuguese
wines), must necessarily fall, perhaps not imme-
diately, because it takes time to prepare it for ship-
ment, but eventually such must be the case.
The church of the English Catholic College of SS.
Peter and Paul has been for some time closed for the
I purpose of being enlarged and beautified. It is now
again open to the public, and may take its place
among the best of the numerous temples of this city.
Added to its other attractions, it has now the finest
organ in Portugal, an instrument built specially in
London for this establishment. The president of the
college, Dr. Joseph Ilsley, may congratulate himself
upon these results of his energy and enterprise.

the French aristocracy, requesting tnis honour of en audience.
The angle:Atka won granted, and at the appointed hone a

self by stating that his experience in the battlefields of the
Crimea had made him acquainted with the noble quail-
tiee of the Mos.-ion., end convinced hint that he

met the duke mentioned this el venture in VreftliCe of menial

a person requesting an *whence. The duke appointed
the evening IT the interview, and, remembering the Duke
of Oldenburg's ViettJr, requested the presence of the Meyer
of Biarritz and the ct inmimary of police. The young
officer was punctual, and ca. at once introrluoed to the
aistbutities in wilting. He was at first
carted, but soon roe ivered kis mammies and declared him-

self to be the side-de-camp of ate inepecoir general of

THE CASE OF SARAH DYER.

TO TIM EDITOR OP THE TA.PRE:,.!

Ellit,—lleeply impressed with gratitude towards
thine who so kindly and benevolently looked with com-
miseration and charity upoa me, and the humiliating
position in which I had placed myself by the act I had
committed, I think it due to those who were Indebted to me,
as well ea to thole who, with Christian charity, interested
themselves in my behalf, to state that I have received all the
monies due—vin, 311. 170. 67 , and, therefore, I consider It a
duty that I owe to reysrlf, and to those who may need anent-
' once move than myself, in thanking the good and charitable
who have volunteered pecuniary aid, to decline receiving
farther ealistance by way of money. I feel that I have
erred, end my police will be my future industry and repent-
ance, to make amends, if possible for my act of wrong.
It is with pleasure I can state that, with the exception of
two, all those who have previously employed me have pre-
mised and will give me their support in future, some having
celled and others written me to that effect. I cannot clone
without expressing, with heartfelt eineeri•y, my ever
grateful remembrance of the Lenevolent clambers-
, lion of my unfortunate car by the humans judge,
the kind charity evinced by Means. Ethoelbred,
as well as the counsel engaged, Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Orridge.
To Mr. Trupler, and the tea gentlemen who appeared in
court, and were ready to give roe a character as to my cot-
dart dating eleven years previous to my unfortunate
mime, I also tender thanks.
Trueting that my future conduct may in some degree prove
me not unworthy of the great eyuipathy which has been
evinced towards me by the court, the jury, the press, the
Royal Benevolent Society, and the public generally ,—I me,
yours, obliged, In humiliation and humbleness,

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—lavzspooL, DEC. 12.

(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)

The winter maims for South Lancashire commenced this
day (Monday), before Mr. Baron Martin who, in address-
ing the grand jury, said that the number: of prinooere, 76,
wee below the average of the winter sashes. Still there were
14 oases of homicide, and though perhaps only one or two of
them might turn out murder, still they all betrayed • tan.
done, to reckless violence and a proneness in sudden quarrel
to use knives and other weapons. In one cue a man had
killed • boy by throwing a piece of iron at him in • sudden
pesMon ; in another a drunken wife bad killed a drunken
husband, by stabbing him with a knife ; and in another
a man, while drinking with a friend, was induced by the
taunts of his sister, to quarrel with him and kill him. There
were also two rather novel cams, viz., one in which a gentle-
man is charged with exerting undo. infleanoe over a voter Ma
parliamentary election; and another in which a policeman
had induced two women to criminals themselves belces their
examination by a magistrate. He would not, he said, make
any remark on the first case, as he brit not read the doped-
Vow, bat in the other, there could be no doubt that the
law of the land most clearly and expressly forbad any etas to
induce prisoners to criminate themselves, and that law must
be strictly enforced. His lordship tibia proceeded to try
prisoners.

THE AOTION POE SEDUCTION.

Last night the attention of the Society for Pro-
moting the Amendment of the Law was directed by Mr.
Allen to the defects la the state of the law in relarence to so-
nose for seduction. Mr. Allen's paper chiefly referred to the
anomakina circumetanos that a father, hu wert r pained might
be his feelings on finding that his daughter ned been made
the victim of a seducer, bed es against him no remedy unless
he could prove loss of service, a state of the law which was a
barbarous tradition from the times when women were looked
upon as mere chattels. There was ofun'a difficulty found in
satablishing that loud service which entitled the father of a
young woman to stand to her in the suit in question in the
relation of a master to his servant, and it also frrqsently
happened that when the suit was prosecuted it broke down
through the proof of the termer immorality of the woman,
the law not allowing any amount of good conduct
on her part subsequent to her lose of chastity
to be taken into oonsideration as giving bar master the locus
standi of a plsintiff. He would do away with the fiction of
proof of service, and give the father directly the right of
action if the daughter was emitter, the damages when reco-
vered to be shared between them ; and in case elm was over
age. he would allow the woman herself to fanners the suit.
Mr. EDOAI thought there woos only two ways of getting
Add the difficulties which, under the existing mate of the
law, surrounded this action—either to allow the women to
bring her own action or to require • proof of substantial lose
of service. With regard to the first, he did not think it
right that the woman, a consenting party, should be allowed
to bring en action for damage which she sustained through
her own wilful conduct. The second course was the alter-
native of a total abolition of the writ, by which the Gawps of
morality wonld,he thought, be on the whole better served ; but
the only real remedy was the elevation of the moral feeling
of men.
A discussion mimed, in which Mr. Wingfield, Mr. Joseph
N. Higgins, Mr. Alfred Hall, Mr. Hastings, and others, took
part, and the consideration of the question was referred to •
committee.

A short divassion afterwards took pines upon a papw
reed by Mr. Dempsey upon infanticide, in which he advo-
cated the strongest punishment la cease of eon:ealmtnt,
not of birth, but of pregnancy, after which the proceedings
terminated.

NOTICE OF NOTION.
HONG KONG.
Mr. E. JAMES gave notice that on Tuesday, the 12th of
July, he would move for copies of certain official docu-
ments relating to the suspension of Mr. Chisholm Anstey
as AttorncyGmeral of the colony of Hong Kong, and other
matters connected with the administration of justice in that
colony.

ADVERTISING COLUMNS.
me. W. COWPER gave notice of hie intention to move
for leave to bring in a bill to limit the power vested in Metro-
politan vestry and district boards, of permitting the erection
of advertising or ornamental illuminated columns in the ear-
Hags ways of the metropolis. (Laughter.) The right bon.
gentleman a few minutes afterwards, asked the First Com •
missiotter of Puke Work., whether his attention had been
leailed to the pewees of obstructing the streets by the emotion
of certain illuminated colmans, of very hideous and some-
times ludicrous form— (laughter)—whereby great crowds
were collected in 'lrma parts where they were moat likely to
be run over, and great discredit wee thrown on the metro-
polis in point of teats; and he also wanted to know whether
it was the intention of the right hon. gentlemen to take any
steps on the subject, leglalelive or otherwise, to remove or
prevent this outrage on the good taste and common sense of
the metropolis. It that was the intention of the right bon.
gentleman, he would not proceed with the notice which he
hod given.
Mc. FITZROY replied that his attention certainly had
been Minuted to the curious structure erected near Apeley-
hones, but he had no more control over such erections than
any other hoc. Mfulber. (Laughter.) The vestrymen of
the pariah in which be had the honour to reside were the
real culprits. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) He under-
stood that a French company had recently peoposed to
set up these advertising columns, and he was afraid that a
great many applications had been granted by the authorities
of metropolitan parishes for the erection of these structures
in different parte. The only way to deal with the matter
was to proceed in the way pointed out by the right bon
gentleman, and he t hougnt he could not do better than have
it entirely in his hands. (" Heu," and laughter.)

SAVINGS BANKS.

chequer if it was his intention, daring the present session,
to introduce a bill for the better :isolation of savings
teaks.

The CHANCELLOR alba EXCHEQUER replied that
he had no intention of introducing say such bill during the
present ses‘ion. It was possible something might be done
with regard to one or two matters of detail to meet the
practical convenience of management; but, conaidermg the
shorties@ of the 'session, he could not hold out any reasonable
proapeet of a government bill on the subject.

THE PAPAL STATES.

The Independaace Belge says :
" The outrageous conduct of the Swim Guards at
Perugia is already producing disastrous conse-
quences for the tempor►l government of the Holy
See. At Bologna the provisional junta has pub-
lished a proclamation recalling all the young men
who have enlisted under the flag of Italian inde-
pendence; because, mays the proclamation, if it is a
civic duty to take up arms to liberate one's country,
there is a greater and more urgent duty still—that
of defending our hearths and homes. In Piedmont
and Tuscany public indignation has reached such a
pitch that even the clergy are constrained openly to
take part with it. Several pastoral letters have
been written protesting against the conduct of the
Pope's mercenaries, and labouring to separate the
catholic cause from the doings of its champions.
The Court of Rome will very probably Sod reseal
to regret the rewards and eulogiums which it has
lavished upon the conquerors of Perugia."

THE BUDGET.

Sir H. WlLLOCiiiilTYWialiedtr; know whether it was

ment previous to going into committee of supply.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. replied that

sentatiete of the naval and military departwents would ba

as far as remained to be made known, the proposed exccal-
tura for the year in connexion with their respective•
limits. Al soon .. the home should dispose of them
piwerful demands on the publio parse, it would be his de-
sire to fix the earliest possible day for the financial sta.e.nent
of the year, botany° he wee aware that it was vary inconve-
nient to the public that it should be pce.p.msd beyond what
absolute necessity required. It was not his intention to
make any statement un the subject of the expenditure apart
from the ordinary statement which combined the expenditure
with the subject of ways and means.

to state tacit It was the intention of her Majesty's govern-
ment to introduce • Lill on that subject, but et prevent he

spect to the navy eetimates, which he should be prepared to
lay on the table in the course of the evening, the sums pro-
posy,' to be taken by the tight hon. gentleman were those
which the meant government intended to take. (Hear.)
Sir J. PAKINGTON was understood to say that • bill
on the subject had been prepared by the late government,
and perhaps would be found useful to carrying out the plans
of the present government.

prrimit Board of Admiralty, who had taken their seats only
within the last three or four days, to go into the details of an
important measure of that kind before Friday, when he pro-
posed to bring the estimates before the house ; but as 000 n
as po!sible after (bat day the Admiralty would be disposed
to ooa.ider the matter.
