A UXlVKilSAL LANGUAGE.
One tiling may possibly result from the
lutt* excitement about European affairs,
which will accomplish more for lutuirm
li.jei ry than the most elaborate s>\steins oí
4l" Ucentsi veil;liners. In fact, ti e v -s-
sib'iii v is iv.tinly becoming a probability,
ati" ¡I-o'.il'Í! i w peisoua ttiin!; u;<on the sub-
who has eyes to sec. and not meroiy to
weep witfa.
We consider that the political persecu-
tion of the European democrats has had
one good result, because it has made us
know more of our oppressed brethren in
other countries, aud taught us to discrimi-
nate between them and their tyrants.
Propagandists of liberty are everywhere:
the school master is indeed abroad and
men are no longer considered visionaries,
who look forward to the republicanization
of the world, as a fact as certain as the
future.
The gradual community of language,
which is the consequence of the despotism
of the old world, will go far to realise ife-s-

Post, of the 2Gf'u ult.. the day on
verdict was rendered :
THE CLOSE OF THE FORREST
CASE.
The following report of the closing pro-
ceedings in the case of Catherine N. For-
rest vs. Edwin Forrest, is from the N. Y.
Evening Po
which tbe
Precisely at the uoav of ten, Judge
Oakley resumed his seat upon the bench.
Every vacant place in the eoari room was
already occupied, except the jury box.
Mrs. Forrest soon entered, preceded by
31 r. O Connor. 31r. Forrest was already
in his seat. In about five miuutes Mr.
Van Bui en came in, and the court was
opened. The jury was then admitted,
looking pale aud uepres-ed. All answe

saj^iguage, which v.ould enable all 1 !•«.

Electric Telegraphs were established in
every direction. Ofcourse.it was laughed
dowu for the time, and tbe mo-
me 1 considered the schema to jc
ask Jiem if they were prepared witn ¡hen-
verdicr. The foreman rose and said they
were, and handed to the clerk a i-eakui
package, wliieli the latter opened and
handed to the court.
Judge Oake3* took the document, con-
sisting ot several sheets, and proceeded to
run his eves over
Mrs. Forrest had no* yet left the build-
ing. Tiie crowd was still large and kept
increasing. After some twenty minutes'
delay, it was deemed best to leave, there
being no prospect of a more favorable op-
portunity presenting itself.
Mrs. Forrest then took Mr. O'Conor's
arm. and walking through the chambers
of the Supreme Court, in which Judge
Pane was holding a court, and through the
Circuit Court room, in which Judge Ed-
wards was trying a case, they desceuded by
the back way intq, Chambers street, anil
turned up towards Broadjvay. Mrs. F.'s
retreat was soon discolored, and the
crowd in a few moments cam© thronging
through the doors *nd over tbe fences,

until a proper conveyance could be pro-
vided to transport Mrs Forrest to some
place of security. >« hich we believe was
soon and successfully done.
Thus ends one of the longest, most bit-
terly litigated, and in some respects one
of the most disgusting trials that ever was
held in this country. This is the thirty-
third day that the cause has been in pro-
gress.
