OFFICERS' WIDO WS.

It is difficult to conceive a more painful position than
that in which the relatives of officers serving in the
Crimea are placed by the sudden removal of those near
and dear to them by sickness or the sword. This is a
truism and something more. It is unhappily only too
true that there are now many widows and orphans of
officers who have been deprived, at one blow, in a mo-
ment of time, of all that comfort, assistanc?, and support
in life on which, in the ordinary course of nature, they
might have reckoned for years to come. These are
wounds which no surgeon can heal, no medicine assuage.
The surviving 'wife or child is in this respect beyond
hope of complete care. All we can do is to mitigate
the pangs of a separation so sudden and so tragic. We
are not now speaking of money ; the blood thus shed
is beyond price to those who best know how to value
it. What they desire is the recognition, by some
graceful act of sympathy, of the services so well ren-
dered to the country by those whose loss they de-
plore. It is therefore with great satisfaction that we
have been informed of her Majesty's gracious in-
tention to bestow some mark of favour on the widows
of several distinguished officers who have fallen before
Sebastopol or met their death in consequence of wounds
received during the siege. Thus, two sets of apartments,
which have recently become vacant, in Hampton Court
Palace, have been assigned, the one to Mrs. Shadfortb,
widow of Colonel Shadfortb, who was killed at the first
unsuccessful attack on the Redan on the 18th of June ;
the other to Lady Torrens, widow of Sir Arthur Torrent!,
who died at Paris a short time ago from the effect of the
wounds which he received at the battle of Inkerman.
Again, we are informed that the only appointment in
the Royal household which has been recently vacated
has been given by her Majesty to Lady Chewton,
whose husband died after receiving no less than seven
wounds at Inkerman, having conducted himself with
the utmost bravery during that eventful day. These
are appointments which speak for themselves, and will
carry the conviction of the kindliness of feeling and
honesty of purpose which dictated them to every English
heart. Let all Court appointmentsbe similarly bestowed
and we shall hear no more of Court intrigue or Palace
jobbery.—Times.

SUSPECTED MURDER OF A SOLDIER.— On Friday morn-
ing, as the superintendent of Carr's cloth factory atTiver"
ton, near Batb, was looking from one of the windows at
the back of the premises, he noticed something floating
on the surface of the water, near the weirs, at that part
of the rlyer Aron. One of the workmen was immediately
jent to the spot, and found the body of a man, which
Proved to be that of a private of the 22d Regiment,
accoutred with his knapsack and regimentals. On fur-
ther examining the body one of the arms was found to
be broken, both the eyes blackened, and the head
much beaten, as if the poor fellow had been the vic-
tim of some foul play and afterwards thrown into the
water. There is reason to believe that the deceased was
one of the detachment of the 22d Regiment, which ar-
rived at Bath on the Ist inst. from Plymouth, and which,
after billeting in Bath for one night, proceeded to Wind-
eaam,eaonf otfhtehdee2s:

GERMANY.

A letter from Wiemar, of the 14th, says ,:
" The close of the Diet took place to-day. The
last sittings were taken up with the discussion of
the bill for constructing the railway from the
Werra, which, after some animated debates, was
adopted by a majority of nine. The Diets of the
two other Duchies interested in the affair have
granted all that was demanded of them. This al,-
quiescence is natural on their part, as the questio a
is that of the establishment of a line of railwa.T
which will unite Coburg and Gotha, and put Mein -
ingen in communication with two of the most un•-
portant lines of Germany. A violent fire broke
out a few days ago at the palace here, but, by the
active exertions of the people who assembled, it wait
got under, but not before considerable damage had
been done. The Grand Duke left this morning for
his Chateau of Wartburg, where he will remain
some days."

AUSTRIA.

The Borsenhalle contains a letter from Vienna,
of the 21st, which says :—" The departure of M.
do Prokesch for Constantinople, which was to have
taken place yesterday, has been postponed, and
this diplomatist will not proceed to his post until
next month. It has been said that Sir Hamilton
Seymour was waited for, to have the conferences
relating to the organisation of the Principalities
resumed ; but that question can only be decided.
at Constantinople at the conferences to be held be-
tween the Ministers of the Porte and the repre-
sentatives of the Allied Powers. It is consequently
not improbable that M. de Prokesch is awaiting the
arrival of the Turkish Ambassador, Arif-Effendi,
or of his successor. It is, however, a fact that M.
de Prokesch has lately had several conferences, re-
lative to the Principalities, with M. de Bruck, his
predecessor at Constantinople, and at present
Minister of Finance in the Vienna Cabinet."

TOBACCO FOB THE ARMY IN THE EAST.

A public subscription having been opened in the
department of the Gironde, the amount of which
is to be laid out in tobacco to be sent to the Eng-
lish army in the East, Count de Persigny, the
French ambassador in London, has just received
the following letter from Lord Clarendon, in reply
to the announcement of that fact :

" Foreign office, Nov. 10.
"Monsieur l'Ambassadeur—l have communicated to
her Majesty's Secretary of State for the War Depart•
ment the copy of a note which I had the honour to receive
from your Excellency, dated the 12th inst., on the sub-
ject of the subscription opened in the department of the
Gironde for the English army and navy in the East. I
have now the honour of requesting your Excellency to
express to the subscribers the sincere thanks of her Ma-
jesty's Government, and the lively satisfaction with
which it has received this public testimony of sympathy
and esteem on the part of the French people for the Eng-
lish army and navy in the East. I have the honour at
the same time to request that this money may be sent to
my department, to he transmitted to Lord Panmure,
who will take on himself to see that the intentions of
the subscribers aro completely carried out.—l have the
honour, &e,,
CLARUNDON."

LAMBETH.—Tames Capern, a young man of respect-
able appearance, who said he held a situation in the
Electric Telegraph-office, was charged with committing
an assault on a person who did not appear.
When asked what he had to say for being drunk and
committing an assault, the prisoner replied that on the
morning before, on passing a church, he was solicited by
a wedding party to give away the bride, and, having
consented, he was treated to something to drink, and
this, and the excitement of an unexpected wedding, set
him right off, and having drunk a good deal he became
unconscious of what be did.
Mr. Norton—Did you think it quite right to not the
father to a young lady of whom you knew nothing ?
Prisoner—She was not a young lady, sir. She was
between 50 and 60, and seemed to be so anxious about
it, your worship, that I felt I could not do less than do
the needful. (Laughter.)
Mr. Norton—Well, I cannot help thinking that it was
imprudent on the part of a stranger to do that which
should only be done by a father and near relation, or
particular friend. However, as regards the charge against
you, the complainant is not here, and you are, therefore,
.s.lischarged.

DRURY-LANE THELITRE.

Last night another of the Lyceum pieces, A Game of
Speculation, was performed hero, with Mr. Charles
Mathews as Mr. Affable Hawk, which, it is needless to
say, he played to perfection. In the portrayal of the
character of Hawk, Mr. Mathews brings out every
line, every idea, and every glimmering of a meaning,
which produces the most marked effect upon the audi-
ence. To do this there was no more gesticulation,
violence, or emphasis than a gentleman might use in his
own drawing-room, and the coolness with which
he played the wily tribl:ster rendered the whole
a wonderful performance. The comedy was suc-
ceeded by a Lyceum farce, entitled No.. One Round
the Comer ' • and then followed the performances
of Madame Labaein, a female Van Amburgh. On
the rising of the curtain a large cage, containing two
young lions, a lioness, a bear, and a dog, is discovereJ.
Madame Labaerre enters the cage, whip in hand, and
by gentle hints succeeds in making the animals stand
still and crouch down at pleasure. The most amusing
fellow was the bear. Ho dances and gambols with the
lady, and seems to be on far more friendly terms with
her than his companions. The most remarkable part of
the performance was the feeding. A large dish of pieces
of meat was introduced into the cage, and the company
of brutes sat round the table awaiting the behest of their
mistress to eat it. The appetite of each was evidently
on the edge ; but, although the wistful-looking beasts
made some furtive snatches at the dish, they were in-
stant'y called to order by the lady, who bad only to look
to be obeyed. The only shudder during the per-
formances was caused by the lady seizing one of the
lions by the tail and pulling him across the cage. The
" King of the Forest did not seem to relish the treat-
ment, but did not appear to have the pluck ti resent it.
The hsuse was filled to repletion ; so the public at all events
approved of the exhibition. Madame Labaerre is un-
questionably endowed with great courage, and her ani-
mals also are remarkable instances of the conquest of
training over instinct, and as such are worth seeing.

DEATH OF COUAT MOLE.

Count Mole, we regret to state, died at his resi-
dence at Champlatreux, on Saturday, from an
attack of apoplexy, which seized him when at din-
ner. The Count was in his 75th year. The fol-
lowing are some detail; of the Count's latter
moments :--

" M. Mold took his place at table with his family at
his customary hour, and r4relY did his conversation dis-
play more elegance or lue'dity. Towards the middle of
the dinner, M. Mold became very pale, and had twice a
sort of convulsive hiccup, which was followed by &marked
change in his features, noticed by every one at table.
No one, however, ventured to make any remark to him
ou the subject, and all aL once his head inclined slightly
on his breast. Then all she persons present, seized with
fears, arose ; but the Count, by a strong effort of the
will, recovered his energy, and, in a very distinct voice,
begged his guests to resume their places, and told them
that there was no cause for alarm. He then left the
room, leaning on the arm of his son-in-law, the Marquis
de Lafertd. As soon as he had entered his own apart-
ment, M. Mold, who entertained no illusion as to the
gravity of his state, requested that the curd of his vil-
lage might be sent fcr, and summoned to his side Mme.
de Lafertd, his daughter, and the Duchess d'Ayen, his
granddaughter, to vbom he gave his blessing in a per-
fectly clear voice. )1. Nicolas, his physician for many
years, who was by chance at the chateau, employed all
the resources of science, and for a moment had hopes of
preserving his life. He went into an adjacent room to
write a prescriptior, and whilst there the Count had a
slight convulsion—it was the last, and the moment after
be expired. The Count had a few days before received
the sacrament front the hands of the Bishop of Orleans."

violence, or emphasis than a gentleman might use in his
own drawing-room, and the coolness with which
he played the wily trickster rendered the whole
a wonderful performance. The comedy was suc-
ceeded by a Lyceum farce, entitled No. One Round
the Corner ; and then followed the performances
of Madame Labaerrs, a female Van Ambnrgh. On
the rising of the curtain a large cage, containing two ,
young lions, a lioness, a bear, and a dog, is discovered.
Madame Labaerre enters the cage, whip in hand, and
by gentle hints succeeds in making the animals stand
still and crouch down at pleasure. The most amusing
fellow was the bear. He dances and gambols with the
lady, aad seems to be on far morn friendly terms with
her than his companions. The most remarkable part of
the performance was the feeding. A large dial of pieces
of meat was introduced into the cage, and the company
of brutes sat round the table awaiting the behest of their
mistress to eat it. The appetite of each was evidently
on the edge ; but, although the wistful-looking beasts
made some furtive snatches at tho dish, they were in-
stant!y called to order by the lady, who had only to lock
to be obeyed. The only shudder during the per-
formances was caused by the lady seizing one of the
lions by the tail and pulling him across the cage. The
"King of the Forest " did not seem to relish the treat-
ment, but did not appear to have the pluck t' resent it.
The hiuse was filled to repletion ; so the public at all events
approved of the exhibition. Madame aLabaerre is un-
questionably endowed with great courage, and her ani-
mals also are remarkable instances of the conquest of
training over instinct, and as such are worth seeing.

CHRIST'S HOSPITAL

The following motion will be submitted to a Court cf
Governors to-morrow (Wednesday) :
" That no presentations be granted for the admission
of children next year, except to the Queen, his Royal
Highness the President, the Lord Mayor, and such new
governors as may be made on account of giving dona-
tions of not less than 5001. between the court in March
last and the court in March next."

The effect of this motion, if carried, will be that all
the other governors whose turn it would have been to
.have had presentations next Easter, will not receive pre-
sentations till Easter, 1857, and every other elected go-
vernor's turn to present a child to the hospital will be
postponed for a year later than he otherwise would re-
ceive it,

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF COL. MACMURDO.

We regret to state that the army in the Crimea is
likely to lose the services of this gallant officer. He has
been very ill of fever for some days, and has now passed
the crisis. His wife had just arrived before be felt ill,
and he must go home as soon as he is strong enough to
be moved. Had the array been deprived of his services
at any other time it would have been most serious, and,
even a 3 it is, it will be bard to find his successor, for he
devoted himself incessantly to the details of his most
arduous department, and Ras gradually working it into
most excellent order, notwithstanding the great difficul-
ties with which he had to contend.

IFIAIRS OF SPAIN.

Our accounts from Madrid are to the 20th inst.
The Queen celebrated her Saint's day by various
acts of charity. The ball given by her Majesty on
the occasion was most brilliant. Lord Howden was
prevented from attending by indisposition, but all
the attaches of the British legation were present.
Mr. Dodge, Plenipotentiary Minister of the
United States, was also present. General Espar-
tero being ill did not appear at it. The Queen
opened the ball with General O'Donnell, towards
whom her Majesty showed herself most gracious.
The President of the deputation of the Cortes,
sent to compliment the Queen, thus addressed her
Majesty :
" Madatne,—The Cortes have deputed me to congratu-
late your Majesty on the occasion of your Saint's day.
The entire nation and the Constitutional Cortes desire
and pray Heaven that this solemnity may be renewed
many consolidationofconsta
touti the
liberties, ye
which,rs Pith
the
independently of being conducive
happiness of the country, are the firmest support 3 of the
throne, of your Majesty, and of your dynasty.
The Queen replied :

" Gentlemen,— I receive with great pleasure the con-
gratulations you address me in the name of the Consti-
tutional Cortes, on the occasion of the Festival of St.
Imbella, whose name recals to mind many recollections
dear to our country and to your Queen. The entire na-
tion and the Constitutional Cortes, whom you represent,
do not desire with more ardour than I do, that Heaven
may prolong my existence, in order that I may devote
it to the welfare of my beloved Spain, and to the con-
solidation of the constitutional liberties so intimately
connected %Nitli my throne and dynasty. I re-
quest you to make this known to the Constitutional.
Cortes, and to convey to them at the same time the sin-
cerest expression of my affection."
The question relative to M. Olozaga's resignation
is not yet settled. The 6th Article of the Consti
tution, however, having been drawn up in its pre-
sent form, with the approbation of the Government
and Olozsga, the point at issue rests entirely be-
tween the latter and General Zabala, who will no
doubt perceive the necessity of retracting his offen-
sive expressions.
The Cortes will shortly have to deliberate on M.
Bruil's financial plan, in which he proposes the re 7
tstablishment of taxes on articles of general con-
sumption, and various other measures intended to
cover the deficit. The bill relative to M. Millaud's
bank of credit will also come before the house in
the beginning of December. Its adoption has been
warmly recommended by the Committee, and the
modifications lately introduced by the MiniWer in
the statutes of the Bank of San Fernando will
no-
wise interfere with the new credit institution.

ADELPHI THEATRE.

Mr. Oxenford's clever farce), Twice Killed, was re-
vived here last night, with Mr. and Mrs. Keeley in their
original characters of Mr. Euclid Facile and Fanny
Pepper. There are few things more amusing than the
series of equivoques by which these two personages are
led to believe that they have committed a double mur-
der, and the bewildered horror of the one and the
frantic terror of the other are so ludicrously portrayed
by the Keelays, that the audience, previously apprised
that there is no killing in the case, are fully justified in
the uproarious mirth with which they greet each situa-
tion. The house was, of course, crowded to the ceil-
ing.

AUSTRIA.

The Borsenhalle contains a letter from Vienna,
of the 21st, which says :—" The departure of M.
de Prokesch for Constantinople, which was to have
taken place yesterday, has been postponed, and
this diplomatist will not proceed to his post until
next month. It has been said that Sir Hamilton
Seymour was waited for, to hare the conferences
relating to the organisation of the Principalities
resumed ; but that question can only be decided
at Constantinople at the conferences to be held be-
tween the Ministers of the Porte and the repre-e
sentatives of the Allied Powers. It is consequently
not improbable that M. de Prokesch is awaiting the
arrival of the Turkish Ambassador, Arif-Effendi,
or of his successor. It is, however, a fact that M.
de Prokesch has lately had several conferences, re-
lative to the Principalities, with M. de Bruck, his
predecessor at Constantinople, and at present
Minister of Finance in the Vienna Cabinet."

GREAT REDUCTION IN THE
PRICE OF

"THE SUN,"

FROM

FIVEPENCE-HALFPENNY

FOURPENCE.

FOR THE THIRD OR LATEST EDITION.

In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp
Duty on Newspapers the public in all
large cities and towns to which parcels
are forwarded by the News-Agents, The
Sun, which formerly cost Fivepence-half-
penny for the Latest Edition, containing
Parliamentary Debates of the same even-
ing, together with the List of Army and
Navy Promotions in the London Gazette,
with Official Despatches from the Seat of
War, the Latest Sporting, and all other
Commercial News, List of Bankrupts,
&c., &c., can now be had for Fourpence,
being a saving of nearly one-third.
Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi-
nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions
posted after six o'clock were charged a
fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-office,
-which made the price to the Subscriber
Fivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must
still be made to those in remote places,
unless the Postmaster-General have the
magnanimity to forego such a paltry
source of revenue.
