The LAST ArTEnPr OF Mr. FoRREsr.-We
learn that Nr. Forrest is by no means inundated
by the recent decision Of the Pennsylvania Legis
lature, and that the whole subject will be brought
forward again to-day for reconsideration. This
last trial will probably be very effective. There
are several substantial reasons why another vote
may be more favorable to Mr.. Forests desires.
Among these we may mention the influence Of
Mr.. n. p. WILL ieti"fS and lri Gc' Which Lave
had a veiy injurious erect upon Mrs. Forests
cause The members from the back woods of
Pennsylvania DO not understand the social logic
of the poets argument They are accustomed TO
tea and brown bread, and to sleeping hours from
nine o'clock till daylight, and do not understand
bow good housewife can be engaged in company
through the silent watches OF the night. All this
has aided MIR. Forests case. Then, again, the
counsel of Mrs. Forrest only acted properly TO the
extent of her replication. She should have met
the charges as well as she could The Reverend
Professor Hackley, Consuelo Jameson, and chaste
Chevalier Wikofi, consul-genen of the allied
forces of folly and fashion, should have appeared
by sfiidavs, and cleared their skirts in the matter,
relieving Mrs. Forrest of the very remarkable in
situations and evidence brought against her, in
connection with these representatives in a small
way, of education, the drama, and fashion As
matters stand, the silence the part of these
pous and chivalrous knights, who have got lady
into scrape, and have not the holiness get her
out of it, has been very injurious to Mrs. Forests
cause, and her lawyers are equally culpable. Poor
Rich is the only one who has behaved like man.
Nothing better could be expected than the sue
cess of Mr.. Forrest, for the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture must believe the tragedan TO be an injured
man, when such marked silence gives consent TO
the proposition. Judge Edmonds sundered the
chains between three couples, of this city, on Sa-
turday last and he can give Mr.. Forrest or Mrs.
Forrest helping hand, if the proper evidence is
placed before him. Why not apply to him!
The Pass IN FRANcE.-The policy being pur-
sued by the government and the President of the
French republic exceeds any thing that was at
tempted even under the regime Of Louis Philippe
When an editor assumes TO discuss the constitution
and its principles he is accused of sediton. fined
thrown into prison, and his business and prospects
destroyed. II would appear as if Louis Napoleon
were determined upon immoatng himself on the
altar of his ambition and 10 precpate his desruc
ton, by expressing and harrassing newspaper pro-
prietors. Common sense would suggest that in
this nineteenth century, gaggng the press is never
attended with good results, but qtem deus rnit

The News FROM EuRorE.--Our readers will
find, in our columns to-day, full details of the in
teresting and important intelligence, which was
brought 10 us from Europe, by the steamship Ame-
RIGA, together with our foreign correspondence.
This intelligence furnishes good deal of important
reading matter. IL will be seen, by one OF our
Paris letters, that gold mine has been discovered
in Spain, which has created q great excitement
in that part Of the old world. Thousands of gold
seekers were rushing to the newly discovered
placer. In point of extent and producveness,
however. it is ofno sort of consequence, compared
with the mines of California.
