DUBLIN, Thursday Night.
The public entry of his Excellency the Marquis
of Abercorn took place this day, and was the most
imposing pageant witnessed in Dublin for int,nY
years. There has never been a larger concourse of
spectators or a more enthusiastic reception of a
Viceroy. The Lord-Lieutenant landed at twelve
o'clock in Kingston, and at half-past twelve reached
Dublin, accompanied by the Marchioness of Aber-
corn and the members of his family. All the pub"
lie buildings were decked with flags, and at every
point of the route the cheering was loud and gene"
ral, the assemblage was exceedingly orderly, aw
only one arrest for misconduct is reported.
Ilis Excellency reached the Castle at one, and
held a reception at which the principal personage°
in Dublin were presented.
Deputations from the corporation, the universitY,
and other public bodies will be received on Satur"
day.

The Duchess (Emily) of Beaufort has arrived at
Dupplin Castle, near Perth, on a visit to the Earl and
Countess of Kinnoull, from Grimstone Park, the scat ,
Lord and Lady Londesborough, near Tadcaster.

proceeded to the Mount, and inspected the ancient castle.
Mr. John St. Aubyn, M.P., was not at the Mount, but veil
soon saw Lady Molesworth, and, doubtless, gave her
cordial welcome to this part of Cornwall. All dined at tho
" Queen's," at 8, and to-day proceed—some to the Land
End and Logan Rock ; others to Botallack.—Cornish Tele-

CRYSTAL PALACE.—The fifth, and certainly the
most brilliant, of a series of pyrotechnic fetes, With
the general details of which the public are now familiar'
was given last night on the grounds of the Crystal Palace'
The programme used on former occasions of a similar
character was followed for the most part, but some imPl
rant additions were made to it which are worthy of spell",
notice. The display began, as usual, with the salute of 1063;
maroons, followed by the firing of three large set pieces 0f
great brilliancy and beauty. It was announced that Etliali°
would ascend his spiral mountain at a quarter to 9 o'cloeY/
and at that time he appeared on the platform and come:i0:104
his performance. When, however, he had got up a I°W
yards he slipped, and the ball upon which he was walking
fell into the network which is suspended beneath 01°
column. Ethardo himself fortunately alighted without ill:
jury on that portion of the inclined plane on which the ball
was resting when the accident occurred. Immedl3oll
,after this two fiery comets were sent down with arnaziol;
velocity from the great towers of the Palace to the wat
..er
temples During former displays similar comets ice';
let fall on the basins of the fountains on the uPP°O
terrace, but on this occasion they were driven, to I:
been said, to the summit of the water temples, Whic
on their arrival burt into most effulgent splendour,and 31";
peared like a series of arches of floating fire with a till.,
waterfall slowly trickling down tho sides of each. A-I"!

and unusual brilliancy. The fete terminated with a
of 1,000 coloured rockets and salvos of coloured sh
with variegated stars. The numbers were—admissiooo°,

A SUCCESSFUL CORN-CUTTER AND THE LA
A corn cutter named Louis, aged 61, was tried tie
days ago in Paris, on a charge of having practised t
healing art without having a doctor's degree. It fa
conclusively proved against him lie had not only poet—ocir
illegally, but had illegally and effectually cured a gi eat n't4 r',
people who were afflicted with wens and tumours. 31. 11°11,
senior, counsel for the defence, submitted that to real°ll°J.,
tumour or other excrescence was no more practising eietilly
tine than cutting a corn. He proceeded to give a tr,o(l
marvellous account of the way in which his client Poe
become possessed of the secret which he used f°': er
benefit of humanity. He had been for forty years a 54 ed
herd, and had observed that his sheep carefully refrojg,
from touching a certain plant which seemed to bo r°14„,,,0
nant to them. On one occasion when ho wished to
some lambs, it occurred to him as a good way to Preveva
them from sucking to tie some leaves of this plant romit,
the teats of the mothers. The device was effectual; in
to his astonishment, the teats shrivelled and fell off vitt ort
a few days ! Ho happened at the time to have a large 'co
at the tip of his nose. Reasoning by analogy, he th°l2, it
it probable that this herb would get rid of his wart. ',61
did, and this was the origin of his secret. The lea'ips
counsel read a letter from a priest, " Abbe Ravant," I:l,Teta
at 5, Vieux Chemin, it Montmartre, certifying that
Louis" had relieved him of a wart on the nose. l't)r ;9,
these illegal cures the court sentenced M. Louis t° de
fine of 15f., a punishment which will certainly not

hint from continuing his practice. r
