TfIE AMERICAN BOUNDARY.—A communication has been received by the revenue authorities from the secretary to the Lards Commissioners of the Treasury, signifying that Colonel Escourt having represented to Viscount Palmerston that certain packages containing the instruments belonging to the commission appointed for tracing the boundary line between the British possessions in North America and the taited States have arrived in London, and are deposited in a warelhoute at one of the docks, he has been commanded by their lordship to authorise the commissioners of customs to give directions that the packages in question may be sent to the F.,reign.oitice under seals of office, tor the purpose of undergoing the necessary examination there in the presence of the proper officers, which has been done accordingly. SALE OF IICGHES'S MAMMOTH ESTAI3LISLIMENT. The sale of this large collection, which has excited such strong expectation among the numerous class whose business lies in that way, was commenced yesterday at Vauxhall. gardens, which presented a singular appearance, from the motley and miscellaneous nature of the articles exhibited All reutid the large area in the centre were placed the car riages, &c., and in the rotunda were some of the " Mara moth " tribe—the elephants and camels. The walls of the building and the stage were covered with the wardrobe and properties, of every variety of age and country, and suffi cient in nurabcr to set up several dozens of dramatic authors in materials for melodrama. About two hundred lots of the latter deecription were sold yesterday, but excited none of the attention and competition which had been expected— a result which would appear to betoken either the cominz decline of the cut-and-thrust school of drama, or the com pletion of the managerial arrangements of the approaching season. Everything in the shape of wardrobes and proper ties went at extremely low prices, which averaged between one and three shillings each lot. The highest price given for a lot was one guinea, and this in only a single instance. The only cnerapolitan managers present were Mr. Batty and Mr . Greenwood, and the bulk of the property sold yes terday fell into the hands of the Hebrew fraternity, who form the main purchasers on these occasions. The sale of the miscellaneous articles will be completed to-day, and to. morrow that of the stud will take place, when it is expected that a greater spirit of competition will be manifested. The carriages will be brought to the hammer on the following days. The mos; remarkable specimen in this department is one modelled after " the nth, or imperial etre carnage of the Emperor of Burmah," which was captured by the British army during the operations against the Burmese empire. his something very wonderful in effect, being of course of a mammoth" size, and combining no end of gilding and fantastic devices. The catalogue says that it " would be an acquisition to any person desiring publicity and display," so it will, doubtless, be purchased by some enterprising adver tiser. The sum of one shilling ts charged fur admission to the sale—a circumstance which may account for the thin attendance. ELLERMAN'S PATENT DISINFECTING PROCESS.— This patent bears the date of the ith ult., and was taken by Mr. Ellerman " for certain processes or methods of render ing feculent, excremental, and other matters inodoraus and disinfected, and also for r,tarding the putrefaction of animal and vegetable substances, and certain chemical reagents employed in the said processes or methods ;" and the advan tages which he maintains to be derivable from it he thus enumerates : I. The immediate and permanent disinfection of animal and vege table matter, by decomposing the eulphuretted hydrogen and coagu lating !he al.umcn, thus preventing the escape of the 11051011011 i exhalations arising from privies, drains, sewers, slaughter-hows,t, knackers'-vanes, farm-yank, stables, dongheaps. Ike. 2. The purifi cation and salubritication of towns; thus ;effecting the ventilation system, and meeting the views of government by improving the health of towns to England, as is the bill prepared and presented by 'Viscount Morpeth, land J. Russell, and Sir G. Grey. 3. The manu facture of azotised manure from the disinfected animal and vegetable matter for agricultural mu poses, and the krtillaition of waste lands through the application of this cheap and self-supplying source of an. failing production. 4. The manufacture of urea, extracted from twine, which manure peeesses the Met fructifying qualifications. 6. The preservation of dead bodies from putrefaction, and thus aiding the purposes of dissection. Yesterday morning, on the invitation of the patentee, several members of the board of guardians, physicians, and other gentlemen of Hackney, assembled in a field off Grove-lane in that neighbourhood, fur the purpose of witnessing a series of experiments by which he proposed to give at least nasal de monstration of the power of the chemical reagent he employs to effect the foregoing highly important objects. So far—and farther it is not within the scope ofour ability to judge—those experiments were satisfactory and successful. He caused to be poured upon a collection of night soil, yielding an almost unendurable fecal smell, a comparatively small quantity of the reagent or fluid, which had the immediate effece on being thoroughly circulated, of banishing the fool smell, and imparting that which is peculiar to the reagent itself, and which can scarcely be ealleddisagreeable,—certainly not more so than the odour derived from a solution of nitrous acid, to which at the time we thought it somewhat similar. All the gentlemen present bore testimony to the perfect suc cess of the experiment in rendering the substance inodorous (excepting the smell of the reagent itself, which is said to be non-permanent) ; but some objected to the term "disinfect ing.' having yet to learn that the removal of the odour ren dered :the substance itself innocuous. That is a question which can only . be solved by scientific men. The presump tion, however, ss, if the gas which causes the foul smell, and which is known to have a most deleterious effect upon vege table as well as animal life, be decomposed, that the infect ing agent is set at rest. Nay, more, as the science of che mistry teacher that the elements of that pestilential va pour, by forming other combinations, may yield healthy and useful products, it is not unreasonable to sup pose, until experiment proves to the reverse, that substances chemically acted upon, as in this case, may not only be Tem pered disinfectant b y neutralising what is noxious in them, but most fertilising for the purlieus of agriculture, contain ing, as they are known to do, every alimentary Mr. Ellerman alleges that disinfection is produced by the application of his chemical reactive in quantities varying from one to three per cent. ; that is to say, that it pause" the property of neutralising infectious gases by turning h am into salts, which salts remain in suspension, and thus add their quota to the fertilising qualities of the manure. Some of the gentlemen, as already observed, were of opinion that the removal of the foul smell was no proof of the removal of the infection. The question, then, is—what is the infection / contained Is it in the solid matter, oren the evaporation of each a gas as sulpharetted hydrogen, so destructive of human life that man is said to become asphyxiated in an atmosphere affected by it to the extent only of 1-300th part? If in the gas, it may be fairly assumed that the destruction or nentatalisa tion of that gas at once checks the infection. But are the noxious gases destroyed or neutralised by Mr. Ellerman's re agent ? There was present on the occasion a professional chemis', _Mr. Redwood, who attended on behalf of the Phar enareutieal Journal, and who" was not to be satisfied solely by a nasal demonstration, however strong, of the disinfect ing properties of the fluid. Its deodorising effect having been fully proved, and the patentee having stated that it neutra lised carburetted and phosphuretted, as well as sulphuret- Led hydrogen, and converted them into salts, that gentleman poured upon the deodorised matter a phial of bisulphuret of carbon, and restored to it its ori ginal laical odour, in order again to test the che mical properties of the reagent. The reagent was again applied, and with the same satisfactory result, neutralised the bisulphuret of carbon (which in the gaseous form is evolved by the decomposition of animal matter), and deo- dorised the nightioil. This experiment was repeated in a pail of clean water, to which the foul odour was imparted by the bisulphuret of carbon, and removed by the applica tion of the reagent. Mr. Redwood next threw into the deodorised night soil some phosphuret of calcium, upon which combustion instantly took place, showing the imme diate action of the reagent upon the test, to the apparent satisfaction of that gentleman. In analysing the report of the select committee on metropolitan sewage manure, a year since, we recollect it to have stated that the promoters of the I bill, out of deference to public feeling and opinion, aban doned that part of it which provided for the establishing of reservoirs. The question of disinfection must, however, be decided by competent authorities. ACCIDENTS IN THE ROYAL ARSENAL.—About noon yesterday two accidents took piece in the Royal Arsenal to connexion with the proving of guns, which usually takes place at this hour The authorities of the proof department are, it appears, now carrying on experiments to test the re lative strength of the ordnance supplied by the various foundries ; amongst which are the Low Moor and Carron icon works, and a gun invented by a Mr. Phillipps, composed of toughened iron, and said to be equal in strength to the light pieces cast from gun metal. About 12 o'clock yester day, as the convicts and guards had assembled for dinner on board the Justitia, convict hulk, one of these guns burst and sent the fragments into the river over the convict ship between the Justitia and the 'Unite hospital ship. A convict who was waiting in a galley between the two ships narrowly escaped, one of two fragments that fell in the water alighting close to the stern of the boat. The writer, who happened to be on board the Justitia, and witnessed the occurrence, had scarcely quitted the ship a moment when another gun burst, and a heavy fragment fell on the deck of the Justitia, between the spot where two men were standing. It struck the corner of the hatchway through which the prisoners descend into the cabins, buried itself in the planks of the deck, and split the large beam that supports it. But for this break it must ...have gone through the deck, and probably would have °t ee:tipped immense loss oflife. Orders have been issued for sue e than a month to remove the Justitia from her preterit poe it i on, and probably when a few lives have been sacrificed the antLaSrities will bestir themselves and carry the order ' into et. l eet , /I,K i rßr,S, YESTERDAY.—BUSFICIOCS DEATH AT EAClLNlY.—before Mr.Beker, at the Cock Tavern, Marsh ave.*, It i ettney, ezi further prosecute the investigation into the death of :lama Aelme, Buz., late resident at No, 2, Grove-place.—Mr. Tonlmin, the surgeon who made *epos! as ortem examination, said that the contents of the stomach were banded to Dr. Letheby for analyst*. On Monday wit ness was called to Mrs. Neltne, who was taken with sudden illness, and witness ascertained that she had had some arrow root and sugar. She vomited a good deal, and witness took home some of the arrowroot and sugar and tried to dissolve it, but, not sueceeding, be gave it to Dr. Letheby for analyels. That gentleman had performed two testa on the sugar, and dis tinctly ascertained the presence of areenic.—Dr.Letheby stated that he had analysed the contents of deceased's stomach, and had discovered the presence of arsenic in its metallic state. The portion of arsenic discovered was evidently the product of something antecedently in the stomach. The portion which killed the individual had gone out of the stomach into his system. This portion is over and above what is necessary to destroy human life ; but that which has pro duced death is at present diffused through the body of de emed.—Mr. Toulmin recalled : Had given nothing in the shape of arsenic to dectased.—Tht Coroner observed that there was great difficulty about the ease, because there was sufficient cause of death independently of the arsenic. The witness was then examined by several of the jury. He said he had known persons to die of disease of the heart with less appearances of it than were detected in this case.—Dr. Letheby's evidence resumed : Had detected arsenic in the liver of deceased. Yesterday witness received from Mr. Toulmin (last witness) two paper parcels containing arrow root and white sugar. There was about four ounces anti a half of sugar in quantity, and upon analysis be obtained from it more than halt an ounce of white arsenic. Was unable to detect any arsenic in the arrow-root.—Mary Pray deposed that she had been charwoman in deceased's family for several years past, and latterly had lived there about five weeks. Mrs.M. Allnutt, slaughter of deceased by a fernier wife, was staying on a visit. She had a Ball named William, and two daughters. William was about twelve years old.—By the Jury : The boy's grandfather had accused him of firing a pistol at him, and the lad acknowledged that he did.—The Coroner: Be careful what you say.—Witness : lie did not say that he had fired the pistol. but admitted that the cap hail suddenly gone off in his pocket. He also said that a pistol was fired at the same time by a man in the garden. Upon being closely questioned he said it was a gun.—To the Coroner : There was arsenic in the bowie, and witness thought it was brought there by deceased himself. It was used for killing mice in the house.—lnquest again adjourned for a few days—Tun SANITARY CONDITION or ST. GEOID:M . B, SOUTIIWAILL—Before Mr. W. Payne, at the Crown Tavern, St. George's Circus, Blackfriars-road, on the body of It. Butler, aged 48, who died from breathing impure air, and not allowing himself the common necessaries of life. —Mr. Hooper, the parish surgeon, deposed that on the morning of Sunday last, he saw the deceased at No. 4, Minah place, King-street, Borough-road. Ile was then alive, but his extremities mete quite cold, and there was no pulse to be felt. lie was lying perfectly naked upon an old mattress on the floor. The stench was quite sufficient to kill any one. At the back of the house was a dustman's yard, which of itself was quite sufficient to engender fever.—(A juror ob served that the stench in the neighbourhood was so great that he was frequently obliged to burn brown paper to destroy it.) Witness scat out for some brandy and gave deceased a tea spoonful in tome warm water once or twice, and he seemed to rally a little. After the lapse of half an hour he began to sink, and he expired in the course of an hour afterwards. Witness attributed death to the impure atmosphere he bad been breathing, and his not allowing himself sufficient food. —John Woolf, police constable Id, No. 213, said that he occupied the house, No. 4, Minah-place. The deceased rented one of the back rooms, and had done so since lost April 12 months. He understood that by trade he was a shoe-maker. lie had beets confined to his room during the past few days. After the death of deceased, whilst searching the room, witness found 251. 19s. 9,1. The deceased was a man of very parsimonious habits, and would not allow him self the common necessaries of life. He would never allow his wife to enter his room, or it would have been properly cleansed.—Elizabeth Woolf, the wife of the last witness, said that she had given the deceased soup and sago to strengthen him, believing him to be unable to get either for himself. She had done so when she and her family wanted such articles themselves.—Verdict, " That the deceased died from breath. ing impure air, and neglecting to take the common neces sariesof Svxxxr COUNTY LeNATIC &WM:M.—Before W. Carter, Esq., at the County Lunatic Asylum, near Wandeworth, relative to the death of George Randall Woods, aged 27. The case excited such interest es to induce the attendance of Mr. Kemble, the chairman of the visiting magistrates. The deceased, a clerk, was ad. mitted on the 18th of October last, and died on the 31st of that menth.—Edward Itouse, an attendant, stated that on Sunday morning be had occasion to leave the ward in which deceased was, with upwards of forty other patients, to go to another part of the building, and desired a patient named Glover to watch the deceased, who was considered a suicidal patient. Witness returned in a few minutes, and missing deceased, inquired after him, and was induced to visit the bath-room. lie there found the deceased lying on his side with a razor grasped tightly in his right nand and his throat cut. The razor was usually kept in the private drawer of the senior attendant's room. Could not account for deceased's possession of it. Durham, the other attendant, bad put the razor in a cupboard in the day room used by the patients on the Saturday previous. That cupboard is used to keep the carving knife and fork and the attendants' knives and forks, crockery, and other article' that could be resorted to by the patients desirous of destroying themselves. That cup board, however, was invariably kept locked. Glover was of a quiet and very benevolent disposition, and one that would prevent suicide if be saw it attempted.—Mr. Joseph Holland, the resident medical officer, deposed that deceased was ex tremely melancholy, had a great desire to secrete himself from his fellows, and was disposed to commit suicide ; and in consequence he had given strict injunctions to the attendants to watch him. Witness considered Rouse had acted judi ciously in placing deceased under Glover's care. Looking at the circumstances of the deceased's death, he had not the least fault to find with either of the attendants. He was very much surprised to find the deceased in posses sion of a razor.—Other evidence having been gone into, the jury returned as their verdict, "That the deceased de stroyed himself by cutting his throat with a razor, being of unsound mind; and we, the jury, regret that the razors, as well as other instruments calculated to cause death, should have been placed in the cupboard of the room appropriated to the lunatic patients, and suggest to the committee the consideration of this subject." The foreman also wished it to be understood that the jury did not consider the attend ance sufficient .— Mr. Kemble assured the coroner and jury that their suggestions should meet with the utmost attention from the visiting justices. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1847. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Nov. 1. Several of the repeal members have arrived in town, to attend the "National Council of Distress and Safety " to-morrow. Among the most hopeful of the arrivals is Alderman Fagan, of Cork. The counter assembly, contrary to expectation, will hold a con current session with the " Council." The Irish coun cil originally appointed no particular day, the resolu tion running " after the 4th of November." A notice, however, appears this morning, convening a meeting of the Lords and Commas of Ireland on the 4th,—a notice which will secure very little attention from the aforesaid lords, &c. The National Council, of the two, is likely to have the most numerous attendance. The order of the relief commissioners, impounding the credits of the guardians in the country banks, has raised a thunder of indignation. So incredible did it seem to the Thurles board, that one noble guardian deemed it " all a joke"—another, "a mistake"—a third, "an impossibility." It was, however, a very serious fact, and there can be no doubt that if rigidly carried into effect the guardians would take advan tage of the want of funds, and close the workhouses. Such a calamity would lead to the worst conse quences. Already the government is repentant. On Friday the order to impound arrived. On Saturday the bank received orders to honour the drafts of the Cork guardians. In Drogheda the same prudent course has been pursued. It would be impossible, consistently with the proper administration of the poor laws, to act strictly and invariably on the rule. The Lord-Lieutenant will inspect an exhibition of roots and farm produce at the Royal Dublin Society, on Wednesday and Thursday nett, which is likely to be the most successful display of 'the society in that department of productions since its foundation. It is greatly to the credit of the society, that amid the universal gloom and despondency it has held three exhi bitions within the present year—of agricultural stock —of Irish manufactures—of Irish sculpture—and now one of farm produce. In addition to these exertions, large quantities of work by female peasants have been sold on the premises, and a fine range of buildings is now in at Olasnevin. How to employ the able-bodied poor, to the relief of the rates and the improvement of the soil, is now the problem which is being considered in various quarters. I have already noticed the sound views on the subject which prevail in parts of Westmeath. In Meath, also, there is a salutary movement in the same direction. At the last meeting of -the Bells union, which comprises the most fertile portion of that proverbially fertile county, the Archdeacon of Meath, the Rev. Mr. Stopford, proposed a set of reso lutions, which were adopted, and of which the follow ing is the substantial outline :—That landlords and farmers should employ the labourers of each electoral division to the extent of one man for each family not exceeding four, and two for each larger family ; that landlords should employ one-third in permanent im provements, and tenants two-thirds. Lists of labour ers having been made, the apportionment was in the ratio of six men for every hundred acres. A resolu tion undertaking to employ such proportion has been very numerously signed by proprietors and occupiers. An improvement is about to be made in our system of deed registration. The Treasury, having consulted with Chief Baron Pigott and Mr. Monahan, have carried out the suggestion of Mr. Pierce Mahony, and ordered copies of all searches to be placed upon record. It is also intended to make arrangements for placing on record the satisfaM ion of judgments in the Judg ment-office. Then imeovementa have been approved of by the highest legal authorities ou both aides of the Water. Tile Enema. ASSOCIATIoN.—This body . met to-day, Capt. Greene, M.P. for Kilkenny county, in the chair. — Mr. O'Connell read a communication from Clonmel, con veying a resolution agreed to at a meeting of the constituency there, calling upon their representative, the Hon. Mr. Law less, to attend the meeting of the national council of the Irish members to meet to-morrow. Mr. O'Connell com mended the resolution, and hoped other constituencies would imitate that of Clonmel. It wu not yet too late, as the council would, he did not doubt, adjourn front day to day over the next fortnight, there were such important in terests to be discussed.—A Mr. Burke addressed the meeting, ehuging the Young Inlanders with inciting the people not to pay poor-rates.—Mr. O'Connell again rose, and, in a very long address, he adverted to the topics which occupy public attention at this moment. lie referred at very great length to the returns from a nortion of the diaoeueof Elphin, given In puma= to a tesofution passed at a recent meeting of the Rennin catholic prelates of the west of Ireland, at Lougbrea. These returns have already been before the public in the repeal journals, and they contain details of the sanitary and food statistics of several parishes, together with an estimate of the number of deaths in each Homan catholic benefice which occurred within the past 12 months. Those accounts extend to great length, and present feature of a deplorable character. Mr. O'Connell referred to these seriatim, and urged them u evidence of distress which called for prompt and ample measures to prevent a renewal of the destitution and of the deaths which must inevitably fallow unless those means were adopted. Mr. O'Connell said that these returns would form, of course, matter for consideration in the coun cil of Irish members, and they could not be passed over in silence by parliament. For not only would such a short session as that intended to commence before Christmas be insufficient to give adequate time for the consideration of .rich a state of things as those returns disclosed, but even a full session would find abundant business in discussing their existence and the mode of preventing a recurrence of such a state of things as they disclosed. The condition of Ireland should come under the consideration of parliament in the short session, notwithstanding the announcement in the Times that the proceedings would refer to England only. 'rho " infamous Times " had stated that the executive had funds and food enough to meet the destitution in Ireland, though the Lord Lieutenant had been assuring every Irish deputation for the last three months that he had neither food nor funds. He believed the Lord Lieutenant, and that the Times invented this statement to rave the minister. Mr. O'Connell promised the meeting that whatever number of Irish members should act together, were it only five, they would force the case of Ire land on the attention of the legislature. After a reference to foreign politics, in which Mr. O'Connell censured Lord Palmentan's policy, as stimulated by his anti-catholic ten dencies to the perpetration of injustice, of which he instanced Syria, Luxembourg, and Limbourg, as affording proofs, as well as Switzerland, he concluded by a reference to repeal. —Mr. D. Callaghan, M.P., addressed the meeting, after which the rent was announced to be 371. . . . STATE or TILE COUNTILY.—TEE Limerick Chronicle, in a third edition of Saturday's date, records, on the authority of a maaistrate, the murder of another land-steward in the county of Clare. This unfortunate individual was steward to Mr. C. G. O'Callaghan, of Bollynahiach, and was murdered on Saturday morning near Fort Anne, on the road leading from Killslue and Scar Al to Ennis, in that county. The victim fell pierced by two balls, which entered his head, one going in at his mouth and carrying away a portion of the skull. The name of the victim was Michael Walsh.—lle , faults have been detected in the accounts of the collectors of poor rate in Curk ; the plan made use of was to fill into the book a small rate from a low-rated occupier where a large rate had been collected. The defrauders have absconded.— In the parish of Kilfree, county Sligo, where great distress prevails, 2 tons 7 cwt. of meal was given to be distributed last week to persons not having in their possession either potatoes or oats. Out of the parish, numbering 1,000 fami lies, 300 families were round in that deplorable ptsition, and had meal accordingly.—The guardians of Athlone union have refused to strike a new rate, as was proposed, there being no funds in hand. Their apology is, that there is un collected of the last rate struck 3,4581. SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH, Nov. 1. This is the week for Scotch municipal elections, but never was such apathy ever witnessed in regard to local honours as exists at present. Only one worthy in Edinburgh has advertised for s councillorship, and ward meetings could scarcely be got up at all. In Aberdeen one ward will be contested, and in Glasgow it is thought that there will be no opposition of any kind to such candidates as have been prevailed on to come forward. The state of trade, obliging every man to mind his own instead of national or burghal I business, and the growing conviction that public ap pointments confer, in homely phrase, " more kicks than halfpence," may be assigned as general reasons, to which more specifically local controversies often raise tides that swamp the usual landmarks of whig, tory, and radical ; and staunch adherents of the whole three will on a railway, police, or gas company act, sink "minor differences," and pull for and against each in glorious confusion ; and then, when the tem porary exigency is past, the old York and Lancaster cries will arise, and set all by the ears as before. Non-residence is in future to be eschewed by the Scottish episcopal bench, and not without reason, as hitherto residence within the diocese has been the ex ception, not the rule. Thus, the Bishop of Glasgow resides in Leitb, ho of St. Andrew's, Dunkeld, and Dunblane, in Peterhead, and he of Moray and Ross, in Fife; and this, not from caprice or desire of fine living, but simple poverty. The pay of Scotch ordi naries is so miserable that the episcopal fees are not sufficient for maintenance ; and as bishops elect have to retain their original pastoral charges, the mitre leaves them where it found them. As almost all the Scotch nobility belong to the episcopal church, this niggardli ness is highly disgraceful. However, by their in creased liberality, or by the superior resources of the new prelates, Bishops Forbes and Ewing are to re side within the precincts of their respective dioceses. The secretary of northern lighthouses has addressed a letter to his brother official at Lloyd's, pointing out some dozen of serious errors in the descriptions of Scotch lighthouses given in five different charts in current use by navigators, which furnishes another among many reasons for the completion of the govern ment survey. DARING AND BECRDE1101.:8 ASSAULT.—AII moult, with intent to rob, was committed upon a workman on Saturday, which, from the aggravated circumstances of the case, de mands more than a mere notice. It will be recollected that, in the report of the destructive fire at Lancefield, on Friday evening, it was stated that the warehouses of Messrs, P. Ro bertson and Co. were in considerable danger. The work men belonging . to the firm who were on the spot, observing that the proprietor was nal present, deemed it expedient, about one o'clock, , to despatch one of their number to Mr. Robertson's residence in Buceleuch-street, Garnet-hill, v7iii:;i7riTznatron of The nature of the fiee. This wed accordingly done, and The man, after delivering his mes sage, returned by Main-street, an unfinished street lead -1 ing from Argyle-street up to Blythswood-aquare. He had got about half-way down, and was at the open and un protected part of the road, when three stout men, who had the appearance of carters, darted out from the side of the path, and collared the unfortunate messenger, roughly de manding where he was going. Thinking they were but in j. at he told them where he had been, and entreated them to let him pass, but the only reply he received was a blow which felled him to the ground. One of the ruffians then threw himself on the poor man, and the other two com menced to rifle his pockets. In their savage haute, for the man called out for assistance, they had apparently used a knife to tear open his clothes, as he felt a sharp weapon grazing along his skin while they were handling him eery roughly. Dreadfully alarmed, the poor fellow naturally thought they had a design to murder him, and contrived to get his clasp knife out of his pocket, which he opened, and by a desperate effort turned himself over, and stabbed in the groin the man who was holding him. The stab must have been a severe one, if it do not ultimately fatal, as the man, immediately after receie4 r 7 . t, fell back heavily. His comrades, seeing the condition he was in, slunk behind, and thus allowed the workman, whe was in a terrible state of excitement, an opportunity of ef fecting his escape from them. Having found three police men in Argyle street, he communicated to them the par ticulars of the attack, and they immediately proceeded to the spot, but the vagabonds bad made good their retreat, carrying with them their wounded companion. The clothes which the man bad on, when attacked in this murderous manner, were in numerous parts completely cut through, and a deep scar in his left arm ' and th ree cuts on his breast, attest the ruthless manner of the assault which was made upon him. We sincerely trust that the miscreants will speedily be apprehended. TILE MISSING WHALE•IIOATS. —.rho two boats' efewll left on the ice by a Peterhead whaler have been brought home by another vessel belonging to the same port. PROVINCIAL. New LUNATIC A8Y1.1113 are about to be erected in various parts of the country, and the total cat of the build ings will be very considerable. It would appear from the discussions at the recent Quarter Sessions that insanity is in -1 creasing in a somewhat greater ratio than can be accounted for by the increase of population. Of the unfortunate per sons so afflicted • considerable number are paupers, and these, in obedience to a recent act of parliament, are to be accommodated in asylums to be raised in each county, or, where the number of patients does not justify the erection of a special building, two or more counties are to divide the cost of a lunatic hospital, to be completed for joint use. The estimated coat of these new airy lums, varying ofcourse with load circumstances, appears to average from 1001. to 1201. for cacti patient, betadee the cost of land ; making from 25,0001. to 30,0001. for 250 inmates. The committee appointed by the Wiltshire magistrates to consider this subject have re ported that there are already confined in that county 220 pauper lunatics, and that besides these there arc 196 persons of imbecile mind not at present confined, but for whom, under the new law, accommodation must be prepared. It is recommended to buy for the new asylum 40 acres of land in a dry and elevated situation, where an abundant supply of water may be had. In Surrey the visiting justices stated the number of patients at present in that county to be 185 males and 225 females, The committee for enlarging the saved the nation from the evil asylum reported that the plan for the new buildings had been approved of by the commissioners of lunacy—that the tender for the construction of them amounted to 37,3001. Of the loan of 43,0001., on mortgage of the county rates, which they had heen instructed to negotiate, they had an offer of 42,0001. from the London Life Assurance Society, at the rata of dl. per cent. per annum, to be repaid in thirty years, by yearly instalments. The works were commenced on the 23rd of August, and were expected to be Reished by Mid summer, 1849. The report was received and condensed, and the mortgage for the loan of 42,000!. signed by the chair man and two other magistrates. At the Bedford borough quarter sessions the committee of visitors of the Lunatic Asylum delivered into court an agreement for the union of the counties of Bedford, Hertford, and Huntingdon, and the borough of Bedford, in the joint use of the Bedford asylum, which the recorder ordered to be entered on record. The Somerset magistrates received a report, stating that 40,000/. had been borrowed and expended upon a lunatic etylum, which it would require 10,0001. more to complete. At the Worcester Quarter Sessions it was notified that the magittrates had acquired every desirable site for the asylum, between Powick and Malvern; it had been approved of by the secretary of state, and they had advertised for plans. A. correspondent of the Worcester Herald makes the following apt remarks upon the site selected by the authorities of this county, and upon the onerous duties of the magistracy as regards the proper selection of plans for the new este bli-hment _ . Assembly-rooms. The drapers in Nottingham, con ceiving that some degree of deception was attempting, applied to the Customs in London, to know whether any parties had authority in Nottingham to act so their agents in the "distribution,' &c., and received for answer, that " no person bad been authorised by the custom-house de partment to offer goods for sale in Nottingham." Many attempts were made to get at the names of " the clerks" superintending the sale, but all proved in vain, except Mr. Towerzey's name being given, till Saturday afternoon last, at four o'clock, when Morley, inspector of licenses, walked into the Assembly-rooms, and demanded the license authorising the sale. Not having one, " the clerks" were politely re quested to go to the police.effice. This they refused to do, and they were handed over to the custody of two policemen and taken to the office, where they remained till half-past six, when the mayor, being in attendance, an information was laid by Morley, under the 50 Geo. 111., c. 41, sec. 6 and 17, imposing a penalty of 101. for every sale without a license. " The clerks" gave their names as " Joseph Horatio Brown, yeoman, 74, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy square, London ;" " George Guest, salesman, Chapel-place, Cavendish square, London;" "R. Goodhind,warehouseman, Aldersgate-street, London." By consent they pleaded guilty, paid 101., and undertook not to offend again. Morley produced a shawl said by many spectators not to be worth 4s. ; he had given 12s. 6d. for it at the Assembly. rooms. Thus an end is put to the "Grande Exposition Publique" in Nottingham. At Exeter, a month ago, James Macdonald was informed against under 50 George 111., cap. 41 ; and, alter paying three penalties of 101. each, and 501. towards expense', he promised not to trouble Exeter again, with "forfeited manufactures." It seems that Leeds, Shef field, Harrogate, Nottingham, Manchester, Derby, and other large towns, have all been airit,d with firms, under various titles, such as " Brown, Leon, and Wilkins," " Millford, Capstow, and C 0.," " Towerzey, Lee, and C 0.," and " James Macdonald and S. K. Croyden." Perham there never was an occasion (certainly not foe a similar purpose) in which a site has been chosen more adapted to the require ments of a building, and combining more local beauties and advan tages. A verdant hill planted in one of the mint beautiful parts of Woroestershire, with a large plot of table-land en its summit looking southward, and commanding an extensive view of the aurrounding country, and the Malvern hills chew by, with a perpetual supply of water, too, at the base of the hill (which might cosily be brought by hydraulic means upon the roof, to supply the whole eftablithmeat), It seems the very spot calculated for the erection of a lunatic asylum. Looking at these advantages, and considering that, with the exception of the large table-land on the summit, the surrounding land is of the most hilly and irregular description, quite unlit sor boiling, It is palpable to ell those who know the ground, that the only spot on which eo large a building could be erected is where it ought to be, on the very summit of the hilt. I am the more particular in urging this cons,dvration, as an opinion seems to be entertained by a portion of the public of Worces ter that the building fliould he placed further down the bilL Such • selection of site would be of greet disadvantage to the patients, and would entirely eacrifice the immense local advantages fur which one would imagine so lovely a spot was originally expressly selected. In the ekleetion of plans the point,' most important to be investigated are—l. The means provided for communication from one part of the building to another, the entire eeparation of the eßges and the dif ferent aura of patients, and the power afforded the superintendent and attendants for inspecting every gallmy, airing-yard, and day room throughout the whole establishment.

The authorities in Wales are also busily engaged in di,cuss ing tho best mode of carrying out the act. At the Carmar then sessions Col. Trevor said he had hail a communication with his noble friend, Viscount Efrain, relative to the lunatic asylum ; and it appeared that the agreement entered into between that county, Olamorgansh,ir e, and Pembrokeshire, for the joint erection of an asylum, had been laid befhre the commissioners of lunacy, and to his surprise had not been ratified by them. They entertained some objections to it, but what they were he had ant been informed. He had been in communication with them, though not as a corpo rate body, and he certainly did not expect they would have refused to ratify it. The report of the committee would have been produced that day, but under the present state of things it was toeless to do co ; and be merely mentioned that as a reason why the report would not be produced. Viscount Emlyn thought the best plan to adopt, when they knew what the objections were, woo for the committee to meet and consider them, and endeavour, if possible, to get the commi=sioners of lunacy to waive their objections. The magistrates at Usk were informed that an agreement had been entered into for • union with Herefordshire, Radnor- of a panic arising from a scarcity of gold. The blame of this period of excitement was laid upon the joint-stock banks and paper issues in general by the advocates of Peel's currency notions, who were not moved by the experience they had passed through. In 1844 a plan for restricting these issues was brought forward on the renewal of the Bank of England charter. The Bank was limited to an issue of 14,000,0001. on the credit of sums lent to government. Above that sum no issue of notes was allowed, except against gold deposited. The country banks were limited in a similar manner. But the ink was scarcely dry on the bills enacting these stringent re - strictions when the greatest mania commenced that was ever known, and which absorbed larger sums than any previous one. The list of subscribers to registered railways alone, whose names were put down for 2,0001. and more, gave a sum of 121,255,374/. The amount of smaller subscriptions cannot be told. All the mining and other companies which start' 1 into life at the same epoch have not been enume rated, and Mr. Francis does not assist us with a computation. This mania, created in the face of the most powerful coercion against over-issuing, might have been taken as affording proof of the Motility of such measures as preventives of excitement, if it were not admitted as ground of strong suspicion that they in part gave rise to the evil. Mr. Francis does not stray into any such argument, and we take leave of his work as a useful chronological essay on a subject of stirring interest for the moment. It enumerates five periods of speculative excitement, the greatest of which followed the restrictive enactments of 1841, as the next in importance occurred before the Bank came fairly into play. The other three occurred during the operation of Sir Robert Peel's various currency bills. The time when credit, having been properly studied, was left unshackled by legislative enact ments, was free from such dangerous convulsions. LITERATURE. History of the Bank of England; its Tineesand Traditions By JOHN FRANCIS. E. Wilson. ;Second Notice.] The history of the Bank does not open until near the close of Mr. Francis's second volume. Before entering upon it he gives a succinct statement of the two greatest bubbles that were ever framed—the Mis sissippi scheme in France and the South Sea scheme in England. The origin of both, as well as of the Darien adventure in Scotland, may be traced to the same source to which the Bank owed its foundation— the awakened feeling of the power of credit in the intelligent part of the community. We have already noticed the uses to which credit was put by Italian traders and the Hanseatic league in the middle ages. The secret of credit was one of the mys teries of those times, which, like the arts of the various crafts, were only made known to the initiated of the guilds. But when paper and printing came, and when men's minds were generally turned to seek the reasons of things, the schoolmaster was able to go abroad. The first professor of political economy who preached that every man kept his own mint as loos as he deserved credit, was Law. That men ran wild upon the notion, and instead of working at his' project, which was originally a small one in compari son with what the spirit of colunisatioon hus since i carried out--chose to build cantles in the air without laying a foundation for them--did not detract from the truth of the great principle. This principle became immediately afterwards the key to large trading undertakings on the part of individuals, and, being adopted in the smaller inland traffic, opened the way for the success of the Bank of England as the recognised organ through which this credit was to be made available to a greater extent than heretofore. The Bank of England was never charged with having given encouragement to the South Sea scheme, although it was the only contemporaneous bank of issue, and so far from its appearing prudent to check the operations of the Bank, it seems to have been the urgent necessity for treating the wound struck by this unexpected calamity which first gave the Bank an opportunity of influencing the circulation of the country. Mr. Francis tells us : There was but one hope left to the nation. The threaten of the ' Bank of England, always applied to in distress, and not always re. membered m proaperily, were persuaded, at the instance of Sir Robert Walpole, to come forward during the early part of the panic. A general court was held, at which the governor and directors were empowered, without a dimentient voice, to agree with the South Sea Company to circulate their hoods, in hopes of sustaining the credit of the country. The scheme first proposed to effect this establish ment of the public credit was not practicable and had to be abandoned. But ultimately the Bank bought 200,0001. South Sea Annuities at twenty years' pur chase, the proceeds of which, or 8,959,99.11. 14s. 84., were applied to the partial liquidation of the responsi bilities of that bubble company. During the dan gerous epochs of 1799, 1715, 1745, and 1780 the government and the country found a most useful sup port in the credit, and valuable counsellors in the ex perienced directors of the Bank of England. The service which the Bank rendered the country during the suspension of cash payments at the close of the last and the commencement of the present century, is too well known to demand more than an allusion to it. By a skilful and judicious use of credit, Great Britain, with an exclusively paper currency, brought out and disposed of resources superior to those of Europe, although the latter were wielded by the un fettered hand of the most remarkable man of the age. It is with the contraction of the Bank of England and other issues, as a consequence of Peel's bill of 1819, that the Bank begins to act a prominent part in the history of what are called bubbles or panics. These usually commence with a fulness of money and consequent inclination to speculate. The success of a few seta others in motion, until all the world finds itself turning its back upon old occupations and hunt ing up new ones. The desire to strike out new sources of profit must have prevailed through former periods of our history. In some it may have stimulated war like propensities, as it doubtless did attempts at colo nisation. The same spirit probably covered our manu facturing counties with mills and workshops. But with the restriction it for the first time assumed the dangerous symptoms which characterised the South Sea bubble period. People of little real capital, but enjoying advantages in their position in the trading world, originate schemes which they leave to others to carry out. The extent and number of the projects increase rapidly within a short period, a spirit of gambling grows common, and the whole ends with a period of despondency, ruin, and all but de t r tli the origin of the crisis of 1824 and 1825, the Bank seems to have had as little to do as with the South Sea project. The issues, which had been 27,700,0001. in February, 1818, were (owing to the restriction) but 19,737,000!. in February, 1824. But the vaults held 13,810,000 in bullion. The contraction doubtlessly acted unfavourably on trade, and forced up the price of stocks. Consols reached 97. Nothing could be more natural than that capitalists, turning their attention to good returns, chose to invest in foreign loans. They did so, and the export of bullion that ensued brought on a panic, which obliged the Bank, after contracting its issues, to enlarge them, and to have recourse to the expedient of an issue of IL notes. The small notes proved a good substitute for gold in internal trade, and, it seems, did not check the return of gold from abroad. Although in 1826 the issues rose to 25,468,000/. with bullion only amounting to 2,460,0001., yet in Febroaryof the followingyear we see the bullion increased to 10,159,000/. with 21,891,0001. of issues. Direct advances of only 366,9491. to ma nufacturers served to re-establish confidence in those districts, and allowed orders for goods to be executed, According to Mr. Francis, the amounts subscribed for projects were the following, Subscribed.

The Manchester bur gesses remain true to their first principles, and the muni cipal elections have terminated without as many additions to the council of toner, after strenuous contests, as were re turned at the first two or three elections by the voluntary esnevoions of the reform party. Of the sixteen new coun cillors elected only one is a tore. This may be thought sin gular; but more strange still, of the powerful party who made head against the corporation—the tones of 1839.43 and almost bearded the privy council by bringing their acts before the highest legal tribunals in the kingdom to test their right of granting a charter to Manchester, scarcely one remains to exercise any office of honour or trust. It is a circumstance worthy of being named, rather as showing the extraordinary revolutions which a little period of seven or eight years may bring about then as a matter of party triumph, that of the wealthy leaders of such a party, so oblivious has time and fortune been, their names have almost been forgotten on 'Change. —At Stockport the tortes were successful in three out of five wards, and the liberals are left with a bare majority in the council.—At Bolton the contests resulted in the return of ten tones and two reformers, making • council of forty-eight persona, among whom there are only six reformers. YORKSHIRE. LEEDS MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.—Sixteen council lors are annually elected at Leeds. Of the number who retired by 'illusion of time, 14 were accounted whip and liberals, and 2 conservatives. The contests on the Ist that. resulted in the election of 11 whip and liberals, and 5 con servatives. All the 8 aldermen who retire next Tuesday are respectable whip, but several of the councillors returned are pledged to vote against those of them who supported the government scheme for national education being re elected to the same dignity. WARWICKSHIRE. TESTIMONIAL TO THE NEW BISHOP OF MAN CHESTER.—Yesterday afternoon a meeting, numerously at tended, of the most influential inhabitants of Birmingham, was held at the Town-hall in that town, for the purpose of consideriog the propriety of presenting to the Rev. James Prince Lee, the new Bishop of Manchester, a testimonial of respect and regard for his services during the time he has been head master of the Grammar School of King Edward the Sixth. The mayor occupied the chair, and amongst those present were the Lord Bishop of Worcester, the Hon. F. Gough, Mr. Spooner, M.P., Mr. Schelefield, M.P.,Dr. Raphale, the Jewish R a bbi , and a large number of the aldermen, town councillors, magistrates, and other inhabit ants, of all grades and political party in the town.—The Mayor (Mr. Robert Martineau), on opening the proceedings, congratulated his fellow townsmen on the fact of their being so ready to do honour where honour was due. One of our greatest poets had said, that the evil • man did lived after him, bat in the present instance they might take the converse of that sentiment and say, that the good which Mr. Lee had done would long live, not only after he bad left that town, but long after he had left this world. Birmingham owed to him an enormous debt of obligation • and he (the mayor) was highly gratified that almost the fast act in his year of office should be to preside over a meeting called to do honour to the rev. gentleman who bad been selected to perform duties so important as those pertaining to the office of Bishop of Manchester.—Mr. T. B. Lee then moved the following resolution: That whale,e seriously orepedulete the Itev.luaes Prince Lee on the eircuwalme that with the approbation and won the recommen datioe dose ruder Qum he bee baa deal= to Qua ff a most important and ark GOMM obit* of INitdrii. by Me appoint ment ee the lib.= et Ilkodmitar, re IPS MIMIC. la Jim** to oar Illirriad WARP affsalleade le Mummified regret at bleremoval, permet the nu. isiOetrate 'MOW aslghburtuad witheetaitsweg sad we =premise et the NO sere aelertatoed by and as we eine below by*, larbierte at the 10= district In warm% date abgelly, pereseenese, and ~by =di he has=p plard arridel time, adtagglii Maim& =I =disuted iamb.

One great qualification he possessed above all others, and that was his trail liberality, for whilst he firmly maintained his own religions opinions, he allowed full liberty to those of other sects who might differ from him. He (the Bishop of Worcester) would say that such liberality was becoming his high office, and, in a town like Manchester, would be feund to have • most beneficial in fluence. If a person of strong religious opinions had been placed over the church in a population so much divided, it was impaldhie to say what evil might have been done: Under thus almanstaaoss be moved the Mowing resole tkin yids great Amon s Tbeto ets a bolded =W du yupeet, Mem awl loom, width It is our whh W bin be teary ewer& the Ito,.

STINTON.—PRACTICE.—ENROLMENT OF Da cases.—This was a motion to vacate an enrolment of a decree, in order to have the cause re-heard. The decree we, pronounced last February. The order for enrolling it was left by the plaintiff with the registrar on the 7th of July; a caveat was then entered by the defendant, and be proceeded to prepare his petition of re-hearing, and had prepared it, and paid the usual deposit of 201., and did all other form a l acts except obtaining the Lord hancellor's signature to h;1 petition by the 4th of August, having previously given the plaintiff notice that he had presented his petition of appeal ; but he was not in a condition to serve the plaintiff with the petition until the sth of August, because the Chancellor's signature was not obtained till that day. He then found that the decree bad been ac tually enrolled on the preceding day—the very day after the expiration of the 28 days which the orders of the court re quire to pass between entry of caveat and enrolment. Mr. Rolt and Mr. Terrell, in support of the motion, sub mitted that under these circumstances the enrolment ought to be vacated, and they cited " Robinson v. Neudivick' (3 Merivale, 13), in which Lord Eldon held that a petition of appeal not being answered until the day after it was pre sented for the Chancellor's signature, ought not to prejudice a party, he being strictly entitled to have it answered imme diately, So in this case, it was not the defendant's fault that his petition had not been considered in time, for he did all he could by leaving it with the Lord Chancellor's secretary. They also cited " Daniell's Practice in Chvncery," vol. 2, p. 682. Mr. J. Parker and Mr. Amphlett opposed the motion. No imputation of taking improper advantage or of surprise lay upon the plaintiff. The defendant had himself to blame in not preparing his petitioa of re-hearing in the long interval that elapsed from the entry of his caveat. The ease cited for the motion had no application to this, as in that case the 28 days after caveat had not expired before the decree was en rolled. It was not enough to have given the plaintiff notice of the petition of appeal; that notice had no effect; the peti tion itself and the order for setting it down for hearing must be served on the party to stop hint from enrolling his de cree after the 28 days from the entry of the caveat; and so the rule was laid down by his lordship in the case of " Den man r„ Wych "(4 Mylne and Crag, 5.50). The court does not extend its indulgence in these cases to mistakes of the practice, " Vardle v. Carter" (1 Mylne and C ra i g, 283) . The Lord Chancellor postponed his judgment until he could examine the cases referred to. Before the Master et the Rolla KNIONT T. AEUNDEL.—PATIENT OP MONP.T INTO Cot: RT.—Mr. Turner moved, on behalf of the plaintiff, that the defendants might be ordered to pay two sum of 2,0001. and 1201. within a limited time, in consequence of their nonj compliance with an order for payment made by his lordship in July last, and which it was alleged had been improp e rly evaded.—Mr. Roupell and Mr. Rogers appeared for the de fendants.—The Master of the Rolls made an order for pay ment of the sums into court on or before the 15th instant. Before the Vice-Chancellor of England. rEOLIIR V. ALOTON.—DffnIoCTIoN To ann3TItATN ree SALE OP ♦ CAROO or CORK.—Mr. Bothell and Mr. Gold smith moved to dissolve an injunction which had been granted by the Vice-Chancellor to restrain the defendants from receiving, selling, or disposing of a cargo of cork wood that had been assigned to them by M. Guinart, of Seville, in the kingdom of Spain.—The arguments were not concluded at the rising of the oonrt. Befere Vice-Chitecellor Wirem ANONYWOUL—GUARDIAN Ann Wean.—The guardian • a female ward in mart having refused to give his sanction to her marriage until the sanction of the court had been ob tained, Mr. Francis Bayley applied for an order autheriaing the guardian to give his consent —His Honour declined to make the order, observing that the guardian might consent without requiring the sanction of the court, and that Lord Hardwicke had refused to make an order upon a similar application.
