New YORK, Jan. 90, 80.
Mr.. EDlToR:-The Forrest divorce
case continues to be the great subject OF
public discussion. The public feeling
in relation to it is really great beyond
all expression. Two parties have al
ready sprung into existence, the one adj
vocating the innocence of Mrs. F. and
the justice Of the verdict awarding her
an unconditional divorce and almony
in the sum of $4,000 per year; the other
championing the cause OF Mr. Forrest
and vehemently protesting that the YER
dict is most unjust; in contradiction to
all the evidence, and the result of per
sonal spit. and malignant prejudice.
The two parties divide every social
. coterie, and may be fo1nd in warm de-
bate in all quarters, whether at the social
hearth, in the public streets, in church,
in places Of business aud places Of pub
lie amusement. The fever runs very
high. "Under which king, Benzonian,
speak or die is the cry IN all directions.
You must be upon one side or The other.
There can be no neutrality on the sub
ject that SO divides, in its universal in
terest, the whole community.
Mrs. Forrest is about to take advan-
tage ofthis excitement, they say, and
appear upon the stage in few days.
In the meantime Mr.. Forrest is chcered
by his friends whenever he is rncoun,-
cred, and in the Broadway theatre the
other night, happening to go into a pri-
vate box, he was recognised and the
whole house rose en- maSsc, and vocifer-
ously greeted him with round after
round of applause.
I We had a serious conhagraton last
evening, in which several wholesale
houses with their contents were Destroy
ed. The loss it is said will exceed
quarter of a million Of dollars. Our
iiremen do not appear always TO be so
successful in their efforts as we could
expect.

Turning out of their extensive establish
ment two hu1dred machines for the
American Fire Annihiator. That en-
terprlsing firm have instituted variety
of experiments for the purpose ofte$tjng
the precise value Of this invention. The
result will soon be given to the world,
when threXtraordinary capacity Of these
machines as an enectual and untailing
means ofprotection for life and property
will be placed beyond the possibility OF

guine Of IFS ability yet to Illicit results
Of the most wonderful character.
The death of DR.. Doane, the health
officer at the Lazaretto, has occasioned
considerable public feeling. He was
generally admired as a gentleman of
talents, and he was the translator OF
many valuable medical works.
