ADVERTISING on THE STAGE In the Court
oil queen Bench, on Monday, an action was
brought against the lessee Of Drury-Iane The
atre, under the following circumstances: Mr..
Mathews, the plaiutif, was the executor of
Mr. Moore, who died In 1854, and was former
ly printseiier IN ST Martin lane; and the
action was brought 10 recover f20 los Sd for
frames supplied by him TO Mr.. E. T. Smith.
VINO was originally an auctloneer, but now
lessee Of Drury- lane Theatre. The defendant
denied his liability, and pleaded set of IN
respect Of an advertisement of Mcore's shop,
which had been introduced into pantomime.
MI l. James, on behalf of the defendant,
observed that this action would never have
been brought If Moore had been alive, be-
cause there was an understanding between
them that Moore should pay $50 for an ad.
veruSement OF his shop in one IF the scenes Of
the pantomime. A scene of his shop was
painted, with the heading, "Moore's Racing
Sweeps, st. Martins lane" The harlequin
jumped through a window bearing the inscrip-
ton, --latest Betting upol the Races" aud
then flap dropped down, with the words
I'm the Derby :" Laughter)
The clown next attempted to perform the
same feat, but he was repulsed, and then an
other flap came down with this intimation,
"Out for the Oaks This scene and the me-
chanical contrivances were prepared by the
defendant at considerable expense Similar
advertisements were prepared for Dskin, No.
st. Pauls churchysrd; Pursell, the con-
fcctioner, in Cornhill; Bennett tie watch
maker, in Cheapside; Samuel, the tailor, on
Ludgate hill; and for Scott oyster shop, at
the top of the Haymarket; and the charge
Tor each Of these scenes was from 20 to 80
guineas-Mr. Lewis said he had been treas
urer OF the theatre since 1858. The charge
tor Dakin's advertisement was 20 guineas, for
Pursells 20 guiness, and for Benefits %

SINGULAR AFFAIR We have Just learned
from a most reliable source, the following par
ticulars of a most singular phase Of "spiritu-
alism," and of the performance Of the mar
riage ceremony under horribly unnatural cir
cumStances.
An individual residing in Bordentown, who
has been for some time believer in spiritual
ism and its accompanying delusions, had a
son who returned from Albany in a dying
condition with consumption last week, and on
Friday or Saturday he died The deceased
had previously been engaged to q young lady
aged about seventeen, now residing in the
house Of her intended father-in.law, and she,
too, is firm believer in the spiritual notions
as well as her lover and his father
On Sunday morning last, with the consent
of the young mans father, this young lady
was married to the corpse by the spiritu al
ceremony" which was performed through a
boy who acted as medium. The young lady
was attired in all the usual bridal parapher-
MALTA at the ceremony, and after it was over
the funeral of deceased took place. 1t was
attended, we learn, by upwards Of two thou
sand persons from Bordentown and vicinity,
who had been attracted to the spot by a NOR
bid curiosity.
The young lady acted at the grave like one
really possessed with an evil spirit she raved
and flung herself into the grave, and was with
great Qlmculty oorne from the spot 10 the res
idence of the madman whom she regards as
her father-in-law. Since the funeral she lives
at his house, and at meals plate, Guy, and a
portion of all the condiments of the table are
set apart for the dead man, whose empty chair
these victims of demonism supposed to be ten
anted by his spiritual body.
The unfortunate young lady is the daughter
of respectable parents, who formerly resided
in Burlington, but who have removed to Cali
fornia, whittier she intended following them

The American Bonsparte,

A letter dated Paris, June Both, TO the la
depsndene Beige, says, that the question Of
dc .ermining the position Of the son and grand
son Of Prince Jerome Bonspsrte, by his frst
wife, Miss Patterson, is now under considera-
sion All such questions, it appears, have TO
be submitted to a family council, consisting
OF number OF high imperial functionaries.
Ihe demand for the settlement is said 10 have
been made by Prince Jerome himself, and the
expectation IS that it will forbid the Amer
cans taking tho name Of Bonaparte, and will
require them to be known by the name Of
Patterson. They obtained letters Of natural
iIation ten years ago, in which they we're des.
ignated as members of the Imperial family
Now 1t is feared that this NAV be treated as a
osse on which to found certain professions
not consistent with the previously declared
lllegitimacy.
Prince jerome contends that his marriage
with Miss Elizabeth Patterson, was null ard
VOID from the beginning, as il was contracted
between youth Of nineteen and a woman of
twenty-three, without the consent Of his ps.
rents and the formality Of public alton. IL
was further declared to be null by the decree
Of 1905, which dissolved the civil marriage.
while the proper authorities of Paris severed
the ties of the religious marriage so that such
union might have NO civil effect, On the
other hand, the Baltimore Bonapartes dispute
the legality Of the decree of 1905, and thew
legitimacy. They refer to the good faith of
the parties in making the contract of mar
riage, but this is questioned, because IL is
stated that the contract contained q clause by
which, as if foreseeing the possible dissolu-
ton OF the marriage on the demand of the
husband or his parents, he stipulated, in such
case, for the payment 10 her Of so 600 francs
year, which sum has been regularly paid
to NJ me Bonaparte, called by the French
writer Elizabeth Patterson, ~ ever since the
separation
The matter has been debated with much
interest, NJ Allou representing Prince Je.
rome and M Berger his son and grandson.
Some remarkable letters of the great Empe-
ror, Of Pope Plus VII Of the Emperor of
Russia and the King of Wurtemberg have
been read by the counsel, and have excited
great interest The council is said to consist
of NJ. Abbatucci, the Keeper of the Seals. as
President, by Deleg. lion Of the Emperor, and
Messrs FOuld, TrOplong, DeMorny, Baroche
and D'OTnano. There is no pomp or parade
in the council, which sits in a simply furnished
room, containing arm chairs and a large table
with green cover. The decision is not ex.
pected to be made for about a month, and il
is impossible TO say what will be the result
But the French writer says that the mem bers
contemplate an admission Of the legitimacy
Of the Americans, but wi bout interest in the
succession to the throne-a rather que er con-
clusion.

A SINGLE TRACK These few words, the
Pennsylvania remarks, afford a terrible
commentary upon the awful disaster which
recently occurred upon tie North Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad. Whstever may save been pro-
duced by the criminal recklessnsss on the
part of any one concerned, the primary cause
OF the appalling loss of life is to be found in
the fact that there was but a single track up
on the road. Had there been double track,
In all probability no such event would have
taken place to fill so many hearts with over
powering agony and SO many homes with
mourning and desolation.
