HEAVY DAMAGES.— PYMM V. TIIE GREAT
NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY.—This was an action
tried in the Court of Queen's Bench on Saturday of great
importance to families, railway companies, and the public.
The action was brought by Mrs. Pymm, widow and ad-
ministratrix of her late husband, to recover compensation
in damages for the loss which she and her children sustained
in consequence of his having been killed through the al-
leged negligence of the company's servants. The damages
were laid at £20,000. Mr. Pymm was a magistrate for the
county of Hertford, and was travelling in discharge of his
duties as a magistrate, on the 23d of April, 1860, by the
Manchester express train. On arriving at Hatfield there
was a serious accident, and Mr. Pymm was unhappily
thrown from the carriage in which he was riding, and was
killed. He was comparatively a young man, being only 41
years of age, and had left behind him a widow and nine
children. The deceased's income was £3,700 a year, which
now went to the eldest son. The widow had a jointure of
£l,OOO a year, and each child £lOO a year during the
mother's life, but, upon her death, that will go to the eldest
son. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages
£l,OOO for the widow, and £1,600 each for the eight
children.

A PORTRAIT OF CAVOUR.—Cavour at the period
of his last visit to England, was about five-and-forty years
of age. Ho was of middle height, and of rather full habit,
with short neck and florid complexion—one of those men
with a plethora of blood, who aro peculiarly liable to acute
and inflammatory diseases. That the deceased statesman
has fallen another victim to the lancet is not doubted by
our medical men; yet, in justice to the Italian physicians,
who are a century behind our own, it should bo known that
the Count was of full-blooded, apoplectic habit ; and that
in the days when the garments of English iEsculapians
literally " rolled in blood," and when people seemed to con-
sider it a duty to have a vein opened once a year, he woulil
have been bled without mercy in any inflammatory fever by
the English Lettsoms and other practitioners of the Sangrad o
school of medicine. Still Cavour, when he visited England,
was in the prime of life and the full vigour of health. If
we may sketch the portrait of his outward man, as he so
lately stood andlnaoved among us, we would say that this
was a man of ruddy complexion and sanguineous tempera-
ment. His brown hair inclined to auburn. He always wore
spectacles, which to a great extent concealed the eyes and
much of the expression of the face. His face was somewhat
full. lie wore no moustache (the King, his master, had
enough for two), but a brown whisker continued under the
chin, and even then becoming tinged with gray, His lips
were not full, and were frequently compressed in a manner
indicative not only of great firmness of purpose, but of the
secretiveness which enabled him to cope with the French
Emperor himself. IVhen he smiled, however, and addressed
those about him, it could be seen how conciliatory and per-
suasive the countryman of Machiavelli could bo upon occa-
