THE FORREST DIVORCE CAsE.-The Ma
tional Police Gazette states that the petition
of Edwin Forrest, for divorce from his wife,
has already received favorable report from
the judiciary committee of the Pennsylvania
Legislature, and that the bill was passed to
third reading in the House, on Tuesday last:
The N. Y. Home Journal, noticing this ap-
plcation says:-'In the large circle of most
respectable families in which we meet Mrs.
Forrest, there is not at the present moment
the slightest invaIidation of her claim to res
pect as a woman of perfect purity and pro-
priety. 1t would seem to her friends, indeed,
that there were no need of saying what could
be so easily known by inquiry. but it may
guard those at a distance from drawing, er-
roneously. such conclusions as are ordinarily
suggested by an application for divorce

next caught, and ten or fifteen wooden tene-
ments on Clinton street, between Main and
Washington, were quickly destroyed. Ste
phenson's exit nsive livery stable was partial
y burned. The Lafayette street church was

grandeur, two sides of a vast square being en-
veIoped. The church, the dwelling of Ste

The Court House, on the fourth side of the
square, was on fire several times, but was f.

Early RIsrNG.-A talented physician re-
marks that eEarly rising is the stepping stone
to all that is great and good. Both the mind
and the BODY are invigorated by the practice,
and much valuable time is gained that is lost
10 the sluooard. It is the basis upon which
health and wealth is founded. The early
morning is the best period for reflection and
stndv; for it is then. after refreshing sleep,
that the mind is most vigorous and calm. Inc
statesman. as well as the merchant, arranges
his plans for the coming day, and all passes
smoothly; while he who wastes his morning
in bed loses much of the most valuable COM
modify in life-time-which is never regain
ed. Early rising will often maize the poor
man rich-the contrary will too often beggar
the wealthiest. ItwlIi domuch towards MAX
ing the weak strong; and the reverse VIII
eufeebIe the strongest. Second sleep often
produces headache and 3anguor. There Is
nothinO more true than that-He that loses
an hour in the morning is seeking it the re-
mainder Of the day." All of our greatest
men have been early riseIs; for instance
Newton. Franklin, Wellington, Shakespeare,
Milton, Reynolds Hunter, Eldon, Erskine."

Yesterday we gave an account of small,
yet bold robbery almost under the Journal
office, the villain having no fear of law or ex-
posure. On Wednesday evening, while the
house of Laughlin & Co. were known to be
in attendance at a wedding, some thieves al
fected an entrance, and amused themselves
by endeavorng to blow up the safe, but they
failed IN affecting this-or we should say, in
blowing off the door of a small vault which
enclosed the safe. They labored hard to get
open a drawer of desk, which they did &C
complish in a most bungling manner, and to
the injury of the desks appearance. For
their immense zeal, holiness and dexterity,
they received a reward of seventy-fve cents
This added to the amount they got from
Babcock Bros, makes the enormous sum oil
IS 25 gained by two desperate attempts at
robbery made at risk of life. They should
now quit the business, and try to make ar
honest living. Our ct;zers are fully warned
so let them be on their guard.

I@The New York Courier's Washington
correspondent gives the particulars OF the
stipulation of the duel expected to have taken
place between Senator Davis, of Mississippi
and the Hon. Mr.. Bissell:
A challenge passed from Col DaVis-the
terms were muskets loaded with a ball and
three buckshot, the parties to stand at 40,
with the privilege Of advancing to 10 PAGES
muskets had been selected as tbe weapons by
Col. Blssell. and the next morning was as
signed for the meeting. Under this arrange
ment. Col Bissell had retired to rest, and the
controversy was regarded as closed until the
principals appeared on the field. Intelligence
was communicated to the President Of the
aspect which the case had assumed, and he,
attended by Col Bliss, took steps to prevent
the duel by the intcrpsstion OF the law, if il
became necessary. Another conference was
brought about between heirrs pectIve friends
and Col. B;sseIl was called up. After con
sultation, the challenge and all the interme-
date correspondence from the first inquiry
were withdrawn for explanation, and the
difficulty was finally accommodated to the
honor and satisfaction Of all concerned.
