NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE.

BOoM DESTROYING OPERATIONS AT PoRTsMoUTII.
Yesterday afternoon Captain 11. D. Chads, C. 8., of her
vlajesty's ship Excellent, exhibited some very important
funnery operations to show the mode of forcing a pas-
,age up blocked up rivers or inlets, whereeight be offered to an advancing party.
Thoebbstoroumctiwonas,
ormcd of the masts of a line-of-battle ship, lashed to-
;etherntati
o byd obstacle in a river; this boom
was laid in Fountain Lake (a tributary to Portsmouth
:enof chainth e
n pplarbour), and at a given signal a boat party, comprising
the attack and defence squrdron, conarneimd its duties.
the one defended, as it were, the approach beyond the
-snow, whilst the other, protected by the guns of th-
asud otherose gear, so as to form the repre-
-hip (about 400 yards from the scene of the operations),
roceeded to the destruction of the hindrance, and the
hslodgment of the enemy. This was effected by the
,aiat party under the protection of the ship's guns
dating a fuse connec'ed with a large quantity of sub-
nerged gunpowder in a favourable place under the
,iolm for blowing it up; the fuse then, with much ap-
)arent intrepidity, was ignited, and in three minutes,
it thereabouts (allowing ample time for the destruc
ion party to regain the cover of their ship), the
•harge was exploded, destroying the boom, which was
lurst asunder and blown into the air, and clearing a
ree passage for the navigation of the assaulting party;
orming a highly instructive nautical manoeuvre, which
was witnessed by a large concourse of spectators on the
water, and a gallant array of naval and military officers
on board the Excellent, amolgst whom were Lord Fitz
Clarence, the Governor of Portsmouth; Sir John Bur-
;oyne, Inspector-General of Fortifications; Admirals

LYC bUM THEATRE.

Anzgteurs and Actors, one of the earliest and most
popular farces of the late Mr. R. B. Peake, was revived
last night at the Lyceum, where (that is to say, at the
old house) it was first produced in 1818. In the con-
struction of this farce there is much that is primitive,
and the principle of equivoque is carried to an extreme.
Nevertheless there is a great deal of humour and smart-
ness in the dialogue, and some of the jokes are exceed-
ingly good, while others are rather reckless. In the
writings of the late Mr. Peake there was this charm,
that the author always seemed thoroughly to enjoy the
work of composition, and the wildest sallies appeared
like the utterances of a free and genial spirit. In point
of construction ho will not bear a comparison' with the
more modern authors who have formed themselves on
the French school, but for jovial hearty English " fun "
there are not many who can compete with him.

The bustling provincial manager is played with the
same bustle as ever by Mr. Harley, who acted the cha-
racter thirty years ago, and the eccentricities of the
country actor, Wing, which were once so ably set forth
by poor Wrench, are now embodied with much grotesque
comicality by Mr. Roxby. A Mr. Hurlestonj made
his debiit last night in Jeffrey Muffincap, the character
created and immortalized by Wilkinson. He seems
possessed of some humour, and at-any rate is not obtru-
sive and extravagant. At the fall of the curtain he was
loudly called for by the audience.

The news of the victory of the Hungarians over
the Austrians and Russians on the plains of
Raab is confirmed. The Austrians admit
that a terrific battle took place. They claim
the victory for the Imperialists as a matter of course,
but the account concludes after the following most
ominous fashion :—" The troops were too much
fatigued to pursue the Enemy." Tnese accounts give
no statement of the Austrian losses, but for several
days the number of wounded brought into T‘ rnau
has been very considerable. KOSSUTH was at Raab.
BEM is at Hermanstadt, and the Magyars
are still possessors of Orsova. They are on the most
friendly terms with the Turks who have recently
supplied them with 200,000 scyth,-..5. A body of 500
Austrian recruits, who were part of SCHLICK army,
have joined the Magyars.
The alleged victory of JELLACHICH at Peter-
waradin turns out to have been a defeat. The garri-
son of Peterwandin made a sally against KAMENITE,
took two entrenchments, by storm, entirely destroyed
them, spiked all the heavy guns, and carried the light
ones into the fortress.

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar,

" To Mr. Thomas Front,

01 14th June, 1847.

" Sll,—Having suffered most drealfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. Whets [ commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning comparatively free trom pain; and before I had finished
the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, hut have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and tt-ey all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. if you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
xonderful medicine, 3 ou are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief. _ . _

They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 25.

Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster, before the LORD
CIIIEF BARON and a Special Jury.)
NOTTIDGE V RIPLEY AND ANOTHER.

The trial of this singulur case was resumed to, day.

After the examination of three witnesses, whose
evidence was much of the same nature as that taken on
Saturday,
Sir FREDERICK THESIGER addressed the jury for the
defence. lie was quite willing to admit that this was
a very serious case, if it were true that the de-
fendants bad been guilty of the base and mercenary
motives which had been attributed to them. It was
said that the design the defendants, who stood in the
intimate relationship of brother and brother-iu-law, vas
to get possession of the property of this unfortunate lady
(the plaintiff), for the benefit of themselves and their
families, and in order to accomplish it that they bad not
scrupled to take her from the quiet and tranquil
home which she bad selected, and to expose her to
all the restraints and horrors of a madhouse.
Now, he would show that this was a very false and, at
the least, a very exaggerated account of the real state of
the case. He admitted that he had no right to interfere
with the religious opinions of any person who was com-
petent to decide for himself, however absurd and extra-
vagant they might be. The Agapemone, or "Abode of

this Act. He understood the Attorney-General was
e:e, averse to considering din qtl.-ti es Of f.,urteen or
sixteen years in Corrsteit:tee. He was twilling to take
the question in Comritittee, if it was considered a
matter of detail, but otherwise. if it involved the prin-
ciple of the Bill, he should feel bound to oppose it at
that stage.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the objection of
the Hon. Member was to a detail rather than the prin-
ciple, and therefore it was open to discussion at a fu-
ture stage. With respect to the cost of prosecutions,
there was at present no legal objection by Act of Par-
liament to I:e,ar the costs out of the Consolidated Fond.
The county rates were still due ; hut a vote for the pur-
pose was annually made from the Consolidated Fund,
and that practice would be continued. He should be
quite prepared to meet all the objections to this Bill.
Mr. HENLEY thought the principle of this Bill was
of too important a character, and to.) wide in its opera-
tion, to be so summarily discussed and disposed of. In
fact, it took away a great nueater of cases from trial by
jury, and handed them over to the sum:nary jurisdiction
of the magistrates. They had already passed an Act of
the same kind, and he thought the two years experi-
ence they had of that Act was too short to warrant them
in going further at present.
Sir J. PARING I'ON defended the Act for juvenile
offenders, passed two years ago, and only regretted that
it had not at once drawn the line at the age of
sixteen instead of the age of fourteen.—(Hear.) He
-thanked the Learned Attorney-Genera for having
restored the provision he had originally introduced in
a Bill, which had been found to work well ; and
he also thanked him for having introduced a summary
jurisdiction into the present measure. He gave his hearty
consent to the principle of the Bill, with the understand-
ing that counties would be placed in the same position
with respect to the costs of these prisoners as they were
under the present law.
Sir G. GREY said that was a matter for consideration
in the Committee.
The Bill was then read a second time.
CLERGY RELIEF BILL.
Mr. BOUVERIE moved the consideration of the
amendments to this Bill.—(No, no.) The fault was that
of the House and not his. If it had not adjourned over
the Derby day, he should have had the Bill through this
stage. Having had its pleasure, he thought the House
should now do its work.
Mr. MULLINGS said he had amendments to pro-
pose, and if the ILn. Member persisted he would move
.hem

BOUVERIE said the clauses might be proposed
,n Committee.
Mr. GLADSTONE said that even if the Honourable
Menibr.r adopted that suggestion he must object to
the Biil passing in that stage without discussion ; if
there were many important questions connected with it,
which he should f,el it his duty to call attention to.
Mr. BROTHERTON moved that the House adjourn,
which being put to the limse, was declared to be carried,
and the House adjourned accordingly at a Quarter-past
One o'clock.

and General Peuchner. Manheim and Heidelberg are
taken. Mieroslawski and the remnant of his army

TO THE LADITB.

This lady had the following latter in the "Times" news.
Japer on Aug. 7,1046. Reader, remember, this letter was put int
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Ilerbary, High-
tate fcr the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hairon her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair's Innen stronger and more luxuriant than
I over was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weettey inserts this testimony tethe virtues of Mr. 0.'9
,legenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
u; I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
Jerience, not only in the restoration and production of hair In ahund-
;nee, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume iti far
)eyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
'3dy of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turrdng grey, ate Iv
lrops on the crown of the head occasionally, ever), week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, maze it strong, and
3revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
:lair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most 43ellecte ladies may use this delightful product of the
mist aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
,dour removes headache and mates it a most necessary companion
t 3 the toilet. In caws of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the grown of tins head; if vary bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most C. 18,3 relief is certain In ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See

DRURY-LAN E THEATRE.

Last evening Mr. Bunn took his annual benefit at this
theatre, on which occasion he received the aid and sup
port of the most celebrate.' members of the profession,
both histrionic and vocal. 'Verily the bills spoke truly
on this occasion when they autiouncid an extraordinary
combination of talent, and that which increased the
pleasure of the evening's entertainment was, there was
not a single absentee cr suffer( r from " indisposition"
among the whole of the artistes who volunteered their
services on this occasion. The performances commenced
with the popular vaudeville of Pold your Tongue, Machine
Vestris, Miss Coleman, Miss H. Gilbert, Messts. C,
Mathews, Selby and Parseli2, each sustaining their on
parts with uowonted abi sty enfl success. The re-
ception of Madame Vestris and Mr. C. Mathews was
very enthusiastic, and the vaud,--vine went off to admira-
tion. Mrs. Cowley's Belle's Stratagem f.ilowed; it is
indeed a very long time since we were so much
gratified as we were on this occasion. We had one
of our own English et me dies supported by first•
rate Engli.ll talent. ALssre. Cooper, J. %Vallack, G.
Cooke, F. Vining, Mrs. Nesbitt, Mrs. Glover, and Miss
Mordaunt, sugainirg the 1t ailing parts of the comedy
with great success, and each receiving unbounded ap-
plause. At the conclusion of one of the acts of the
comedy Mr. Bunn was loudly called for. He came fir.
ward, and handsomely acknowledged the compliment of
a call. Una Reunion Musicale closed the entert?,inments.
Verdi's beautiful rouranza, " Nell' Opera Gtovanna
d'Arco " was splendidly given by Signora Parodi.
Nothing could exceed the brilliancy and finish of her
execution of this romanza ; at the conclusion the ap-
plause was tremendous. Jetty do Treffz delighted the
audience with one of Mr. Bunn's songs, and " LTna Vir-
gine," from Donizetti's La Favorita, was given by Gar-
(Joni with much effect. " The Light of other Days" was
beautifully sung by Pischek ; and C. Braham delighted
tha audience with his father's favourite song " The
Death of Nelson." Oar old friend Harley, too, also
appeared, his name appearing in the programme
of the concert. He gave us " Oh, dolce doll
concento" and " Johnny Bond." The Lablaches gave
the " Buffo duetto," from Il Matrimonio Segreto,
with great effect. The magnificent duetto from
Norma, "Di Contenti," was superbly given by Parodi
and Giulians; and Miss Poole also delighted the audience
with one of her best ballads. Space will not allow us to
further enlarge on the great number of beautiful pieces
performed by the other eminent arti.,tes. The whole
went off splendidly.

Arr. E. DENISON said that he bad given notice of
his intention to move that the report from the Com-
mittee on the Great Northern Railway (Amendment of
Acts Deviation and Enlargements) Bill, be taken into
consideration upon Thursday next, although seven clear
days will not have elapsed since the Bill was reported,
provided the amended prints and breviate be pre-
viously deposited in accordance with the standing orders.
but after consulting with his friends around him he
would not persevere in it.

CEYLON AND BRITISH GUIANA.
Mr. HUME postponed until the 12th of July his mo-
tion which stood for to-day, " That it appears by the
evidence taken before the Select Committee on Ceylon
and British Guiana, that the Government of British
Guiana has been carried on for the last ten years in op-
position to the expressed views and opinions of the
Elective Members of the Colonial Legislature, to the great
disadvantage and injury of the colony. That this House
is of opinion that the time has arrived when the public
expenditure of the colony should be reduced; and for
the establishment of a responsible local Government,
which should have full power to decide on the extent
and nature of the establishments necessary for the
maintenance of peace and order, and the protection of
the colonists, and to raise the means for defraying the
expenses thereby incurred."
OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr. ANSTEY gave notice that, on the first Supply

vate letters in the place of official correspondence.

Mr. SCULLY moved for returns of the amount of
rates collected in the Nenagh Union within the year
ending the 7th day of June 1849; of the amount ex•
pended in relieving the poor for the same period, speci-
fying in-door and out-door relief; of the liabilities and
numbers charged to each electoral division for each
month during the same period; of the amount expended
in the hospitals, and in making coffins, and the
number of deaths within the same period; and, of the
sums of money expended in the auxiliary workhouse,
called the Brewery, and the number of persons who have
died within that place since its opening in Dec. 1848.
Agreed to.

AUSTRIA.

There is no truth in the rumour that the Austrians
have crossed the Waag.
The Hungarians are at Ventra, where they are
constructing entrenchments. The German Reform
publishes a letter from Vienna of the 11th, which
states that a traveller who had arrived from Raab
reported that the Hungarians had defeated JELLA-
cmcEr, and had taken the Ban himself prisoner. This
news, however, stands in need of confirmation.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.
It is stated in Berlin that peace with Denmark has
been definitively concluded. The question of the
succession is provisionally kept in abeyance, and the
independence of Schleswig is recognised so far that the
King of DENUARK appoints from this duchy three
Governors, whom he shall select from among six
candidates proposed by the national representatives of
Schleswig.

The Cologne Gazette, in giving this intelligence,
says :—" We cannot vouch for the correctness of this
statement, which is taken from the General Corres-
pondence. The Democratic Correspondence, on the
other hand, says :—` We learn from a good source
that peace was concluded yesterday between Prussia
and Denmark. With regard to the conditions,
Schleswig-Holstein will remain provisionally united,
as it is at present, and the national representatives
will propose to the KING six candidates, from among
whom he will select two as Regents of the duchy.
The other points are reserved.'''

The Assembly then proceeded to nominate the
members of the triumvirate, and appointed the Citi-

CITY IMPRO VEMEN TS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
your paper of the 15th instant is a letter
signed " Cosmos,', in which he states that Mr. Jeffery
proposed that the level of Holborn-bridge should be
raised sixteen feet, and that if Mr. Jeffery's opinion
were now asked on the subject, he would recommend a
viaduct en a level from Hatton-garden to Newgate-street.
I beg to state most positively that Mr. Jeffery's propo-
sition was to raise Holborn-bridge eleven feet and a half
only, to which proposition "he most firmly adheres," and
to state that Mr. Mosely, the surveyor to the Middlesex
magistrates, and Mr. Bunning, the City architect, have
recommended a filling up of the same to the height of
twelve feet, or six inches more than Mr. Jeffery proposed,
a difference scarcely without a distinction. " Cosmos"
is also misinformed as to the cause that prevented the
formation of Mr. Jeffery's proposed avenue from Bar-
tholomew-lane to the Albion Chapel and Finsbury-
circus, London-wall ; perhaps he will endeavour to be
better intormed before he again ventures to make state
meets contrary to the facts.—l am, Sir, &c.,

visited 17 districts and 1,625 hamlets, containing a
population of 1,919,884 persons, of whom no less than
107,990 were attacked, 42,746 died, and 65,244

BADEN.
KARLSRUHE, JUNE 11.—Mieroslawski previous to
setting out for Heidelberg yesterday, had an inter-
view with several members of the Provisional Govern-
ment. lie stated that he should not accept the office
of commander-in-chief until he had convinced himself
;that the necessary preparation for war had
been made, and that the undertaking was not a
hopeless one. To-day, Mieroslawski is to in-
spect the troops assembled on the frontiers.
of Hesse. Colonel Galewski, the companion in arms
of Ben), has also arrived here. Colonel Racquilliet is
said to have twen appointed Commander of the For-
tress of Rastadt. Brentano's speech, at the opening of
the Constitutional Assembly, has satisfied none but
the moderate democrats. The military display was
somewhat imposing ; about 6,000 armed men defiled
before the Provisional Government.
Letters from Karlsruhe of the 11th of June state
that several members of the Stutgard camp Parlia-
ment have already arrived at Karlsruhe, for the pur-
pose of commencing the removal of the same to Baden-
. Baden. The Provisional Government has placed the
sum of 25,000 guilders at their disposal, for the ac-
complishment of this object.—Allgemeine Zeitung,

Seyton's return to Crosby-hall with a new enter.
eaLenLt of Miss
.ent, recollecting as we did the great and deceived
!ss of her two former entertainments, on English
comedy and on English comic opera. Her new enter-
tainment (the production of which has been twice post-
ponsd on account of severe illness) was pro-
duced last evening, and, although she was manifestly
still suffering from illness, its success was as
complete and as deserved as that of its predecessors. The
subject of the present entertainment is the Descriptive
Poets and Minstrels, Ancient and Modern, and it con-
sists of a short but succinct resume of the history of sk-
eet iptive ballad poetry in all countries, from the
days of the ancient bards down to those of
Shelley and Southey, illustrated by a variety of
ballads and songs, introducing, among others, William
Julius Mickle's ballad of Cumnor Hall, the Spanish ballad
" Gentle River;" Schiller's far famed song of " The
Diver," a very quaint Danish fairy lay, entitled the
" Ferryman," which was rapturously encored ; and
Southey's pathetic descriptive ballad of " The Idiot."
These have all been composed expressly for this enter-
tainment by Mr. Harries Wilson,of whose compositions,
judging from the specimen of last evening, the mu-
sical world will, we opine, desire to hear more.
They are full of spirit and originality, and
abound in dramatic effect. He accompanied the fair
lecturer on the pianoforte, and proved himself to be as
brilliant a performer as ho is delightful as a composer.
Miss Seyton delivered the lecture excellently; her voice
is sweet and musical, and her elocution perfect. It is
quite a treat to listen to her beautiful decla-
mation. We were delighted to hear her an-
nounce that she contemplates continuing the subject
down to the present day, and that she has
in preparation an entertainment illustrating the descrip-
tive poems and ballads of Thos. Hood, Charles Mackay,
and Eliza Cook, to whose genius she paid a meat high
compliment—a compliment as graceful
merited. The entertainment concluded with a new comic.
medley scene, in the arranging of which a good score of
composers have lent a hand, being
.A Lyttel Historic of
ye Operatic and Streeie Minstrelsie in ye Present Trite;
an excellent drollery of the Parry school, which was
sung and acted with infinite humour and spirit. At tho _
conclusion the applause was moat enthesiastic, and the
floor was nearly covered with the bouquets which were
showered upon the fair lecturess. This entertainment
will be one of the most popular that Miss Seyton has
yet produced. The hall was crowded in every part.

he looks upon himself as the natural enemy of all civi-
lized people, and, as a final consequence, of France. It
proves that, in her present attack upon us, ,Russia is
only taking up a strong position, by rendering Austria
subject to herself.
" Let me entreat you to take into consideration the
respect for existing rights, which the national Govern-
ment of Hungary maintains, even against its own inte-
rest. While the Austro-Russian troops were violating
the neutrality of the Turkish territory in Wallachia, the
General of the Hungarian forces made it his duty to re-
spect it; he halted his men upon the frontiers of Trail.
.sylvania, at a moment when, by imitating the enemy's
example, and pursuing him into the Turkish territory,
he could have put the Austro-Russians in a condition to
do him no further mischief.

"Pardon me, J. le Ministre, for having troubled you
with so many details; but this was for me a sacred duty,
which I could not avoid fulfilling.
"I am a Hungarian—l owe myself to the cause of
my country. lam the representative of her interests—
it is my duty to defend them—and I do so in the inti-
mate conviction that the interests of all humanity are
sharers in our own.

" Your own feelings towards the cause I represent are
a pledge that you will give a favourable reception to
these lines.

" Be pleased, M. le Ministre, to accept, &c.

Affairs, &c."

STIPTTdARD, JUNE 14.—1 n the afternoon the Wur-
temburg Government received from Frankfort this
d,, y the requisition no longer to suffer the sittings of
the National Assembly at Stuttgard, but to expel
them from the city, and even from the country. The
letter is written in the name of the Central Power,
signed Archduke John, Vicar of the Empire, and
countersigned Wittgenstein. Immediately on the re-
ceipt of this notification the Ministers held a council,
and M. Lowe, President of the National Assembly,
convoked a secret sitting. It is said that the King
desired the Ministers to use energetic measures, but
that M. Romer hesitated.—German Papers.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING,'

cannot but lament the direction, or rather the mis-
direction, of that phi!anthropy. True, the ruling
principle of the Christian religion is to spread and
diffuse itself among all nations, but be it never for-
gotten, that the same MASTER who bade his disciples
" preach the Gospel to every living creature," also
commanded them to teach their own people first
(" to the Jew first"). " Charity begins at
home" we are told, by way of excuse, by
the parsimonious. This rule, which is too
frequently acted upon in domestic life, finds its sad
" exception" in the cases of heathen missions and
home neglect. As we have already said, we do not
wish to discourage the Christian ambition which
would diffuse throughout the world "the glad tidings
of great joy." 'We do not say to the charitable "De-
sist from benefiting the heathen ;" but this we do
say, " In GOD'S name suffer not our little ones at home
to perish !" Assist both the English and the
heathen savage if your means permit ; but
if not, remember your first duty is to look
at home. Helpless infants dying of destitution, or
growing up in villany, crowd your doorsteps. Re--
fuse to give them schools to teach them to work, and
what are you the richer ? The law will compel you
to build prisons and fit out convict ships, and erect
the gallows for them hereafter. You may be sure of
that. The alternative is simple enough. Give a
little to-day to teach them how to live and fit them to
die—to make them useful to the commonwealth here,
and fit for happiness hereafter ; or to-morrow give
much to punish the crimes you might have prevented
and destroy the men you might have saved. We shall
again recur to this subject, for it is one that we would
fain believe only needs to be known in order to be
cared for. It requires not the aid of eloquence to
enforce its claims ; for, as the lamented CHARLES
BULLER so beautifully said on one occasion, " If the
tale of wrongs suffered does not excite our sym-
pathy, the tongue of an angel would be powerless
to persuade."
