In one of the ward courts in New York, last
week, suit was brought for years rent of q
house, which the tenant had abdicated at the end
of one quarter, rendering the proportion OF rent
for that period, which the landlord refused to &C
cept and appealed In due time to the law. The
tenant proved that the house was so infested with
rats, mice, and every variety of smaller vermin,
that it was uninhabitable. If hsbitation implies
comfort The jury awarded to lhe landlord only
the rent of the quarter during which the tenants
endured the nuisance.

GooDRICH's PORTRAIT OF QUEEN VICTORIA.
may as well complete my gallery of British 3d..
vereigns by brief notice Of Queen Victoria, whom
have often seen. As to her personal appearance,
portraits in the shop windows; but truth compels
me to declare that all the personal beauty in these
representations is ideal. Her majesty is really q
very ordinary and rather coarse looking woman
especially to one whose standard of beauty is
founded upon the delicate and graceful type OF
American female beauty. When say she is as
good rs she is homely, and Is loved and cherished
by her people according to her merits, give strong
testimony to her virtues. Prince Albert ia q very
handsome man, and it must be said that the large
family of princes and princesses not only resemble
him strkingy, but share in his personal good
looks. have seen few more gratifying sights in
England than this royal Misunderstanding and re-
ceiving the affection of the people.
