is very easily endangered.
Firstly: Beware while so clo,hc Z

Eourthly: Beware Of bathing i'm

Lastly, when you use the bathing Jress,
let it be light in texture and white in

UP Last Sunday evening our citizens
were highly favored by an address from
the Rev. Charles Spear, editor Of the
Prisoners Friend, Boston, on his late
mission to England. Mr.. Spear de-
scribed the situation Of Prison,rs in
England and France his interviews
with Sir George Grey, her majesty's
Secretary, Lord Ashley, The family Of
Mrs. Elizabeth Fry, and many others
He spoke in the warmest manner of the
kindness of Mr.. Webster in furnishing
him with letter which carried him
through Europe. Mr.. Spear stated
particularly that on his arrival IN Paris
he could not have entered the prisons
had it not been for Mr.. Webster's name,
that name, he said, AT once arrested
the entire attention of the whole Police
Of Paris. II unlocked the door Of every
prison, it gave tree entrance TO every
literary institution, il opened the door
Of every palace, and secured the atten-
ton and respect Of the very highest Of
fcers connected with the British Gov
ernment.
In the course ofhis lecture, Mr.. Spear
spoke o. the Ragged Schools Of London,
and OF the difficulty Of finding employ
ment for prisoners. He pointed out, in
the strongest manner, the want Of labor
Tor discharged prisoners. lie gave n
very touching anecdo,e of the labors of
the daughters OF Mrs. Fry, in providing
lor a female cuIprit. Mr.. Spear then
ook occasion TO refer TO his own Iabors
in this department he spoke Of the dis
charged prisoners he had had IN his own
house. In short, Mr.. Spear pointed out,
as we think, the two philosophy of Re-
form.
He thanked the Rev. DR.. Choules for
the affect ona. &c ma nner in which he had
welcomed him TO his church; Or.
Choules certainly manifested kind and
charitable spirit in thus opening his
house to one from whom he differs so
widely in his theological ienets.
Mr.. Spear, we are sorry TO say, is in
poor health. He needs more sympathy.
We regret 10 learn that his late mission
to England has embarrassed him in his
Pecuniary affairs. His work" as Mr..
Webster says in his letter, is one Of
charity, and he expects no compensn-
ton from any government" or course
then, Mr.. Spear, with no means OF his
own, depends entirely upon The contri.
buttons Of the charitable. Shall there

LOLA MosTEZ vs.. NHw YORR TINES
The New York Times Of Monday
makes the following apology, and re-
traction Of its recent charges against
Lola Montez:-
We have never designcdly attacked
the character Of Lola Montez,-though
We admit that incidentally, and in con-
neclion with other topics, we have made
ollus,ons TO her, which good taste, and,
perhaps, strict justice should have ex-
cluded. The first paragraph, which
she quotes from our article about the
Common Council, in her letter publish.
cd last Friday, was not designed to be
applied to her al all: - il was entirely
general in it's terms anG was intended
to be SO understood. The sentence, in
another part ofthe same article in which
her name was introduced, made no re-
Aectiun upon her character, but referred
simply to the mode Of defense adopted
in her published letters. And what the
Times contained some months since up.
on the same subject was Intended 10 re-
buke what we deemed gross violations
Of propriety on the part Of others rather
than to hold her up to public odium.
We take this occasion to say further
that we knoD nothing of her character
except from public rumor, and through
the statements Of the European press
These may be, as she says they are, all
untrue. So far as we have any person.
al knowledge, certainly, we are neither
prepared, nor disposed to question the
completeness or the conclusiveness OF
her denial She is entitled to the benc-
fit Of ii and we supposed we had shown
our willingness TO give her that benefit
to the fullest extent, by the publication
Of her letter ia the Times of Friday last.
The paragraph referring to that letter,
was, perhaps, less guarded in its Ian
guage than it should have been, but it
was not designed to contradict or throw
doubt upon any OF its statements. We
trust these explanations may satisfy our
correspondent that we have not design
edly committed the error or injus,ice Of
which he speaks.
