Dublin, accompanied by the Marchioness of Aber-

bulOings were decked with flags, and at every
point of the route the cheering was loud and gene;

u
only one arrest for rr'sconduct is reported.
His Exee'lency reached the Castle at one, and
held a reception at which the principal personages
in Dublin were presented.
Deputations from the corporation, the university'
and other public boC:cs will be received on Satn':'
day.

tion, about three o'clock, Lady Molesworth and her friene°
proceeded to the Mount, and inspected the ancient castle.
Mr. John St. Aubyn, M.P., was not at the Mount, but very
soon saw Lady Molesworth, and, doubtless, gave her A
cordial welcome to this part of Cornwall. All dined at the
" Queen's," at 8, and to-day proceed—some to the Land 15

CRYSTAL PALACE.—The fifth, and certainly the,
most brilliant, of a series of pyrotechnic fetes, W--

the general details of which the public aro now familiar,
was given last night on the grounds of the Crystal Palace'
The programme used on former occasions of a simllst
character was followed for the most part, but some imper-
taut additions were made to it which aro worthy of sPeeil
notice. The display began, as usual, with the salute of arlA'i
maroons, followed by the firing of three large set pieces of
great brilliancy and beauty. It was announced that Ethardo
would ascend his spiral mountain at a quarter to 9 o'clock;
and at that time ho appeared on the platform and commenced
his performance. When, however, he had got up a fell'
yards ho slipped, and the ball upon which he was walking'
fell into the network which is suspended beneath the
column. Ethardo himself fortunately alighted without lei;

A SUCCESSFUL CORN-CUTTER AND THE LAT7'..;
A corn cutter named Louis, aged 61, was tried tWo
days ago in Paris, on a charge of having practised ths
healing art without having a doctor's degree. It Waej
conclusively proved against him he had not only practis
illegally, but had illegally and effectually cured a great 5519,„
people who were afflicted with wens and tumours. M. I.°llo,
collier, counsel for the defence, submitted that to retnovccii..
tr
tumour or other excrescence was no more practising Me ly
eine than cutting a corn. He proceeded to give n u
marvellous account of the way in which his client /11,30
become possessed of the secret which ho used for
benefit of humanity. Ho had been for forty years a shed
herd, and had observed that his sheep carefully refrairie
from touching a certain plant which seemed to be rePec
nant to them. On one occasion when ho wished to vie :t
somo lambs, it occurred to him as a good way to Prey° j
them from sucking to tie some leaves of this plant roont,
the teats of the mothers. The device was effectual
to his astonishment, the teats shrivelled and fell off

it probable that this herb would got rid of his wart. S°jj
did, and this was the origin of his secret. The learn. "a,
counsel read a letter from a priest, " Abbe Ravant,”
at 5, Vieux Chemin, h Montmartre, certifying that
Louis" had relieved him of a wart on the nose. For 'ls
these illegal cures the court sentenced M. Louis to Palter
dote
hi of 15f., a punishment which will certainly not '
hint from continuing his practice.
TILE CONVICT BURROWS.—The execution of
youth convicted of a murder at Hopwood is fixed to tss.ip,
place on Saturday morning, at the Nelv Bailey Pris°ll,

dangers which would attend the assemblage of a large ace°l.o
course of people in front of the gaol, have given °r aol
that the execution shall take place on the side of the goy
forming ono of the boundaries of New Bailey-street. V'Tfiao,
