LOLA. MONTES AGAIN.—The Sacramento Union has
a telegraphic despatch, dated Grasse Valley, to the
following effect :—" Our town was thrown into a state
of ludicrous excitement this forenoon, by the appear-
ance of Madame Lola Montes rushing from her resi-
dence through Mill-street towards Main-street, with a
lady's delicate riding-whip in one hand, and a copy of
the Telegraph, in the other, her eyes in a fine frenzy
rolling, vowing vengeance on that scoundrel of an edi-
tor, &c. She met him at the Golden Gate Saloon—
the crowd, who were on the qui vice, following in her
footskeps. Lola struck at the editor with her whip,
but he caught and wrested it from her before she
could hit him a blow. She then applied woman's best
weapon--her tongue. Meanwhile, her antagonist con-
tented himself with keeping most insultingly cool. Find-
ing all her endeavours powerless, the divine Lola' ap-
pealed to the miners, but the only response rendered
was a shout of laughter. Mr. Shipley, the editor, then
triumphantly retired, having by his calmness completely
worn out his fair enemy. The immediate cause of thefra-
C 43 was the appearance of sundry articles regarding the
Lola•Montes-like insolence and effrontery of the Queen
of Spain.' The entire scene was decidedly rich." Lola
in her own account of the affair, says—"l went forth—
strong in the principles, as I have said, of Miss Lucy
Stone and other strong-minded females—found this re-
doubtable man in the saloon, and as quick as a flash of
lightning laid the said whip on his shoulder and head
four times, on my word of honour, before my enemy
could remember that he was sitting on a chair. The
lady of the Golden Gate Saloon was sitting on one
'side, a gentleman on the other ; after having given
him four good whippings, he got up and squared him-
self on the most approved Yankee Sullivan principles,
and was preparing to give me a stunner in the eye.
The spirit of my Irish ancestors (I being a kind of
three-quarter bred of Irish, Spanish, and Scotch) took
possession of nay left hand, and, on the most approved
Tom Flyer principle,, before he could attain my eye, I
took his, on which—thanks to some rings I had on at
the time--I made a cutting i7Tressic?!!,".

A ToueriEvGArFEAL.-1-erjeant Wilkins, in pleading
for Gilbert on Thursday evening, called on the jury in
most touching terms by their verdict to restore him to
the bosom of his wife and family, and dwelt with great
pathos on the effect the result of the trial would have
for happiness or misery on those who are so dear to
him. When the learned sergeant sat down, wiping his
forehead after his great effort, he was a little surpr:sed
to learn this touching allusion to wife and children had
been made on behalf of a bachelor, which Gilbert is.-
