The main line of tb.-a Railway (about 220 miles in length) Will commence at the Port of Galatz, and following the Valley of the Sereth will pass through or near the towns of Tekouch, Adjud, Bakou, and Roman, to a point on the north-west frontier of the Principalities. There are two branches starting from the main line, one (about 45 miles) to Jassy, the capital of Moldavia, and the oth er ( a b ou t 32 miles) to Olina, the m os t important salt-producing district of the Principalities. Moldavia, now a constitutional state without debt, is Well known as one of the greatest corn producing countries of Europe. The valley of the Sereth, and the districts through which the lines pass, are the most fertile in the Principalities. Galatz is indisputably the most thriving commercial port of the Black Sea. The line will, in conjunction with the proposed exten- t sion of the Austrian Charles-Louis Railway (for the con- i struction of which a Company will be formed so soon as the construction of the Moldavian Railway is assured), estab lish unbroken and direct railway communication between the Bv:ttic, the German Oce an , an d t h e Black Sea. Lo .0 don by that route will be brought within 60 hours of Gal,etz and 70 hours o f Od essa and Southern Russia. Con stantinople will be reached in four days ; Taganro and 'trebiz on d (th e great entrepots for the Caspian, Persia g , and ( Central Asia) in five days, and Alexandria in seven days; thus establishing a new and independent route to India, Australia. China, and the East. Detailed particulars of the undertaking and its prospects have been prepared from Government returns made in 1859, which show that the dividend which may be anticipated from traffic now existing will amount to 12 per cent. per annum, and that dividend may fairly be expected to reach at least 15 per cent. pet annum when the connection with the Charles-Louis Railway is completed. The best evidence that this estimate is not excessive is to be found in the fact that the Charles-Louts Railway (from Craeow to Lemberg, a length of 215 milr a , of which the Prince Leo S a pi e h a , a chairman) memb er of the L o cal Board of this undertaking, is the —a re4ore expensive line, passing through a l ess producti ve cotentry—has already earned 11i per cent. per an num, althe,ugli that railway has been very recently opened.

AN IMPO R T A NDISCUSSION. The "Times," the "Lancet," and other leading journals have been lately canvassing the social considerations in volved volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice." 9 interesting. statistics are brought to bear upon the inquiry ; but it would greatly add to their value if they in cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the prevention of that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any other against the welfare of soci ety—destroying the happi ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony, under mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering and shortening the tion through families. lives of its v i ctims, and spreading desola- The essential particulars relating to this great social evil (the besetting snare of experienced youth and the curse of maturity), together . with ample instructions for removing its rffects, and recovering health, vip-,our, and all the ennobling privileges of our being, are contained in Dr. LAWERT'S " SELF-PRESERVATION, a Treatise on Nervous and ph--,7;pal Debility, of which the 00th Ed ition has just been Published by Mann and.

Il e was ac ., companied by hi s wife, age d 103, both enjoying excellent health, and not appearing to have any intention of leavi ng this world just yet. The old man had served nin e years under Louis XVI., and in a part of the wars of the re public and the etupire, He left the service in 1815. NEW YORK, JULY 22. The general gloom and discouragement of the Northern people and the absence of any effectual response to Mr. Lincoln's call for an additional 300,000 men are facts that betoken a powerful reac tion. Few persons qualified to form an opinion believe it possible to raise one-third of the number by voluntary enlistment ; while it is quite certain that the war must cease for want of the material to prolong it, unless at least half-a-million of men can be procured during the summer. The Government is ill at ease on the subject, and its friends are be ginning to ask whether it would not be better, without further loss of time, while days and hours are previous, to resort to a conscription, or, if that be impossible, to welcome the mediation of Europe. My own impression, which every day makes stronger, is that the game of voluntary enlistment is " played out," that the barning patriotism which burst forth so suddenly and blazed so brightly after the attack on Fort Sumter has cooled down, that money will not bribe men enough to form a new army, and that, if there be no conscription, the North may as well yield with as much dignity its it can assume, lay down its arms, and renounce the hopeless project of the restoratio&of the Union. It cannot be said that the Federal Government does not bid high for men, or that it is not zealously aided by the State Governments. The New Eng land States are offering bounties ranging from 50 dols. to 100 dols., in addition to the liberal bounty offered at Washington, and yet the men do not pre sent themselves. Mr. Morgan, the Governor of the State of New York, when called upon to summon the Legislature at Albany to discuss the propriety of offering 50 dols. to every recruit, declined to do so, on the ground of the inconvenience of an extra session in the dog days, but issued a proclamation offering that sum on his own responsibility, and trusting to the protection of his Parliament on its reassembling at the usual period to indemnify him for the act. The response, as yet, has been feeble, while in the city of New York, where every police man has been converted into a recruiting officer, the failure has been so conspicuous that the most wilfully blind have been compelled to see and the most wilfully deaf to hear it. What are the reasons for this sudden change in public feeling ? Convinced of the importance of the inquiry, as a guide to the comprehension of the new phase into which the war has entered since the seven days' slaughter of M'Clellan's army, I have made it my business to converse with all ranks and degrees of people, and more especially with the classes out of which the Federal armies have been recruited—with Ameri cans, Irishmen, and Germans—with returned sol diers, as well as with recruiting officers, and endea voured to ascertain their real sentiments. The con clusion to which I have come is that the war is less popular among them than it was a month ago, and that each of these nationalities, in addition to gene ral reasons common to them all, has its own separate ground of coolness or dissatisfaction. The general reasons for the slackness of enlist ment are the high wages of labour, consequent upon the withdrawal, from first to last, of fully 700,000 men from the ordinary work of the nation. The, requirements of the armies in the field and of the harvest, now ready for the sickle, are such that every working man is certain to find employment. In addition to this powerful influence there are deterrents in the highways which every man can understand—deterrents in the shape of maimed and wounded soldiers on their way to and from the hospitals or permanently turned into the strE ets, legless or armless, as living mementoes of the miseries of war. And then there are the news papers which tell the sickening story of the strife, and which every one reads, however poor or imperfectly educated he may be, and the conversation of the rum-shop, the lager beer saloon, or other resorts of the multitude, where authentic news is circulated which never finds its way into print, and which is derived from the private letters of soldiers to their friend s and relatives, or from the oral testimony of livin g witnesses who have re turned disabled from the swamps of the Chickaho miny to mix with their fellows and tell them the truth. From the newspapers they learn that, while this call is made upon them by the President, there are no less than 50,000 men absent from the army on furlough or on sick leave, the sickness being no thing but home sickness, or, if not that, a sham. They learn at the same time, though not always from the newspapers, Whi c h , as a rule, are disin clined to publish any statements, however well founded, that tend to diminish public enthusiasm in the war, that at this moment the army of Gen. M'Clellan is in a pcsition almost as had as that from which it escared so narrowly a month ago ; that the heat is excessive ; that water is scarce ; and that typhoid and other fevers prevail to a frightful ex tent. A Federal officer recently returned from Har rison's Landing states that the dead are so numer ous that M'Clellan has been compelled to burn the bodies. He cannot bury them within the limits of the camp for fear of an epidemic He cannot bury them beyond the limits for fear of the attacks of the enemy, The consequence is that every night the bodies are piled in heaps, and the camp is illumined with the glare of an incremation horrible to think of, but absolutely necessary to the health and safety of the army. Facts like these are repeated from mouth to mouth ; and, combined with the want o f confidence in all public men, and with the high and certain wages offered in less dangerous spheres of usefulness than the battle-field, damp the martial ardour of the people, and throw discredit even upon the cash in hand, which the State and the Govern ment unite to offer, with a liberality unparalleled in foreign or civil war in any country of the world. Among American-born citizens—all patriots—all filled with a desire to conquer the South —the un expected duration of the war has had a very seda tive effect. They believed at the first outbreak of hostilities that the South would be easily overrun and subdued. They thought with Mr. Lincoln that 75,000 men would be enough for the " job." They had faith in the " 90 days" of Mr. Seward; and when that term had expired they were not without confidence that twice 90 days would be amply suffi cient to restore the Union. " h ey were ready for a short, sharp, and decisive conflict. They were not ready for an obstinate struggle, to last for years, to be carried into the heart of the enemy's country with half a million of men on each side, and fought to its conclusion amid such a storm of hatred and bitterness as now howls over the l an d . Th e y were not ready to pay the cost of the war, in the shape of enormous taxation. They Were not prepared for the gross corruption of their public men. They had no faith in the abolition of slavery, or in the poli tics that had grown out of the question. They did not understand the South—did not believe it would fight so stubbornly—did not really comprehend the true causes of the quarrel—and did not anticipate that they m i g ht lose any of th e i r own liberties in the lib er ti es o f t h e i r fel the vain attempt t o den y Not hating -. l e South themselves, low-citizeus. Et . they could not see why the South should hate them. And while quite ready for a sparring match with their brother — to g ive an d to take hard blows — they were not ready for a fie n di s h , d ea dl y , an d apparently interminable war. They imagined, in the • e b o undless conceit which is the Y an kee charac teristic, that they could conquer A ng l o -S a xons as easily as they conquered Mexi cans. In shor t, they were deceived in all their calculati ons . They now know it—and the result is that th ey are no longer so s elf-confident as they were, :and are preparing their minds for the day of inevitable compromise.

The negro respects the white man who employs and feeds him, but he has no respect for the Irish white man, who conde scends to do such rough and unskilled work as pub lic opinion reserves for the inferior race. There is consequently a mutual antipathy between the two; and the Irishman detests the negro, not only be cause he is a negro, but because he believes that there ought to be no " niggers" in the North to keep down the price of free labour. and that the South is the proper place for the black man and slavery his proper condition. The recent determi nation of the Federal Government to employ the negroes in tr e n c hi ng a nd fortification, and in the sanitary occupations nnmbero necessar y ofthem from in it has been generally accepted by the Americans as a disagreeable necessity, has displeased the Irish, and operated as on e of the causes preventing any considerable fr oaml camps,responding to the President's invitation. Patrick's love of a fight is proverbial; and he engaged himself in the civil war with all the heartiness of good will which was expected of him by those who knew him best. But, though he loves a " seri " mmage a' great deal, he loves good wages a great deal better.. Half-a-dollar a day for fighting was excellent pay, but a dollar and a quarter a day for r • eaping became still 'more tempting, when negro competition was thrown into the war scale against him. So, ,for the present, he is a man of peace, and Mr. Lincoln can only secure him for the war upon compulsion. The Germans, who have also formed a very large percentage of the Federal armies, have objections to enlistment peculiar to themselves. They do not share the Irishman's dislike of the negro. They have no overweening and overpowering love for the Union, right or wrong, such as burns in the bosoms of Americans of the " spread-eagle"school of oratory and politics. They entered into the war as a matter of business, because a military life is germane to most Germans accustomed to Austrian or Prussian conscriptions, and because they had an idea that in a great democratic Republic, where the poorest citi zen is as good as the President, and the private sol dier is supposed to be as good a man, politically and socially, as the Commander-in-Chief, they might rise by merit and valour to the highest ranks, like the soldiers of the First Napoleon. This hope has been disappointed. Soldiers have not been made captains and colonels from the ranks. Democratic America is aristocratic as regards military promo tion. Political Generals swarm in every city. There are Brigadiers without number who have no bri gades. A whole squad of attorneys—Butler and Halleck among the number—have risen to the highest rank, at one bound, without having passed through the intermediate gradations; but the great bulk of the commissioned officers are graduates of Westpoint—a class apart, to mix with whom is about as difficult for the American common soldier as for the private in the British army to reach any rank higher than that of sergeant-major. The con sequence is that the Germans are disgusted. The war is not the war they imagined it would be. It offers them no career. Fifty cents a day, and the chances of death or mutilation, with 100 dols. at the end of three years, if they live, are not sufficient inducement to lure them from the farm, the barber's shop, the lager beer brewery, and the other com mercial pursuits in which both in the West and the East their countrymen continue to make decent fortunes. The first bloom of the war excitement is over as far as they are concerned ; and, though 40 per cent., perhaps, of the 100,000 men that State and Federal bounty money may yet gleam from the full harvest-field of labour will be com posed of Germans, there is no chance of any further supply of men from that source, except under the operation of the conscription. Altogether the indications of public feeling con verge to the idea of an approaching compromise. No American will admit this to be the case when broadly stated, especially to an Englishman; but there are countless little straws in the air which show how the wind blows to any one who has an eye for the points of the compass. Three months ago when several regiments wished to inscribe upon their regimental flags the names of their victo ries the idea was universally scouted. " What," said the patriots,:" shall we perpetuate upon the star-spangled banners of our liberty the record of our triumphs over our fellow-citizens ? IV hen we go to war with England or France our flags shall bear the names of our victories, but in a war against our brethren —never !" Now the feeling has changed, end the South begins to be looked upon as a foreign nation ; and " Roanoke," " Newbern,” " Fort Donelson," " Fair Oaks," and other words are flaunted upon Federal flags with as much Northern pride as if the Southerners were really the foreigners which it is their wish to become. So also with regard to a general exchange of prisoners. The South, when appealed to on this matter, invariably refused to listen to any terms unless upon full re cognition of their belligerent rights. The North as invariably refused, for this would be to admit that the South were not " rebels," but an independent Power with whom the Republic was engaged in a legitimate war. This feeling also has undergone a modification, and on Friday last no less a person than General Dix went from Fortress Monroe, under the protection of a flag of truce, to meet the Confederate General Lee, for the purpose of debat ing the terms for a permanent exchange of pri soners. The interview is described as having been highly satisfactory both to North and South. Per haps the slackness of the Federal enlistments may have tended to the production of this better frame o f mind, for prisoners require men to guard them ; and men employed on such duty are not available in the battle. field. If, when the exchange is effected, both parties are released upon the honour able understanding that they are to take no further part in the war, it will tend still further to humanise the people of both sections, and draught into civil life a number of good hands that are greatly needed for peaceful work, and more especially in the South, where every young and able .bodied man is a com batant. ----- The public has been greatly scandalised during the last week by the series of charges brought against General Mitchell, the astronomer of Cin cinnati—charges of incapacity, ferocity, and brutality—involving details that are said to be ut terly unfit for publication. Further investigation has shown that the worst of these charges did not apply to General Mitchell personally, but to an offi cer under his command for whose conduct he was more or less responsible. The charges will, doubt less form a subject for the investigation of a court martial, and if substantial cannot but end in the dismissal of General Mitchell from the service, and the hanging, on a high gallows, of Colonel Turchin, the officer principally implicated. Leaving for the present the minor charges against General Mitchell, and coming to those affecting Colonel Turchin, a German, from Cincinnati, it appears that when General Mitchell was in command at Huntsville, in proceed, w ith Alabama, he ordered Turchin to a considerable force, to the pleasant t little - .own o f Athens, 25 miles distant, and reduce it to obedience to Federal authority. Athens made an n 0,,,,, , ; ,; but obstinate resistance, which so exasperated - unavailing chin that just before the place was his soldiers soldiers that "he would shut captured he told hours" after they took it.

It is further statedtrahensadst General Mitchell was made aware of the facts took no notice of them. The New York p passes the matter over with slight remark, but it is so publicly spoken of here in every society, and so openly canvassed by the press of Cincinnati and other cities nearer the scene, that it has be come quite impossible for Mr. Lincoln, as Com mander-in-Chief of the army, to imitate Turchin's example, and shut his eyes to the atrocities of his subordinates. General Mitchell himself must demand inquiry if he would stand well with the public either as a gentleman or a soldier ; and, as f'or Tui chin and his whole company,if the charge be true, they should be shot en masse—if such a death be not too soldierly for brutes like them,who deserve flagellation first and hanging afterwards as the more befitting punishment. Yesterday was the first anniversary of the battle of Bull Run. What has the North gained in the interval ? Nothing but a series of barren victories, and as much Southern land and water as is com manded by the range of their guns. A year ago the Southern armies menaced Washington, and they menace it now. A year ago the war might have been brought to a close by Southern audacity and the easy capture of the Fedsral capital. The same termination is as possible now as it was then—if not more probable. Charleston, Mobile, and Savannah all wave the Confederate flag. Richmond defies assault. The Mississippi is closed against the great West and its produce by the obstinate resistance of Vicksburg, and New Orleans is Federal by the grace of the soldiers of Butler, but Confederate, in body , heart, and soul, and by no means safe from a triumphant recapture. The Border States are shaking in their allegiance, and the little Union feelingproduced ess of t t h h ee a n t po e ar x smt i s o y t u e es d a r i b n l wo o t h a ds e h S e x o e u de t h el b n e ho f ra o m r s e ou ut t ts h e e rwl b ya s i t t ed t f istf a nrou f r p egr p a seu e cr a r uhni rna dis appeared. :naeodnTantdphe e a chued batliwnc everythingseui l dnvepe debt , ma rf o aa n wnfl ol t dher h Iv: sec unparalleled Disunion.hd as a e v tn ina e eondu d dan o s done T e aoobfr o pegy t pri h hinav a i aar n uvat g etyee a small—and perhaps bridgeable p i e n aN t r o ao t a r et year— if e a a w r nation, with a separate history — an gu el l tradi tions, never again to be reunited.

The following correspondence has passed between a body of shipowners in Liverpool and the Foreign office : " To HER MAJESTY'S PRINCIPAL SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS. " The humble memorial of the undersigned British merchants and shipowners showeth,— " That your memorialists view with considerable anxiety and apprehension the hostile attitude at present assumed by Federal cruisers in the Bahama waters. These cruisers are now blockading the British port of Nassau as if it were a Confederate port, and are making prize of British vessels sail ing from one British port to another with British goods, though such vessels are perfectly innocent of any attempt to run the blockade. If such a vio lation of international rights be passed over by her Majesty's Government very disastrous consequences will ensue to your memorialists and other merchants and shipowners trading in those waters. Many British vessels fitted out for sea with British car goes for Nassau are now deterred frotn sailing in apprehension of seizure ; for, though it may be clearly proved that such seizure is unjustifiable, your memorialists have no confidence in the admi nistration of justice in the Federal Prize Courts, or in the prospect of being compensated for the injury inflicted. The confidence of mercantile men in the sanctity of the British flag is already so much shaken that underwriters are demanding 10 per cent. promium for insuring from risk of capture British goods in British bottoms, sailing from one British port to another. Yoar memorialists, there fore, pray that steps may be taken by her Majesty's Government to protect British shipping in the Bahama waters, and to put a check on the unwar rantable seizures so repeatedly perpetrated by the Federal cruisers. And your memorialists will ever pray, &c." (Signed by 40 shipowners.) "Foreign-office, July 5, 181 " Sir,—l am directed by Earl Russell to acknow ledge the receipt of your letter of the 2d inst., en closing a memorial from certain British merchants and shipowners at Liverpool, in which they state they view with considerable anxiety and apprehen sion the hostile attitude assumed by Federal cruisers in the Bahama waters, and the memorial ists pray that steps may be taken by her Majesty's Government to protect British shipping in those waters, and put a check on the seizures so repeat edly made by the Federal cruisers. lam to state to you, in reply, that it is alleged, on the other hand, by Mr. Seward and Mr. Adams, that ships have been sent from this country to America with a fixed purpose to run the blockade ; that high premiums of insurance have been paid with this view ; and that arms and ammunition have been thus conveyed to the Southern States to enable them to carry on the war. Lord Russell was unable either to deny the truth of those allegations or to prosecute to conviction the parties engaged in those transactions. But he cannot be surprised that the cruisers of the United States should watch with vigilance a port which is said to be the great en trepot of this commerce. Her Majesty's Govern ment have no reason to doubt the equity and ad herence to legal requirement of the United States' Prize Courts. But he is aware that many vessels are subject to harsh treatment, and that, if cap tured, the loss to the merchant is far from being compensated, even by a favourable decision in a Prize Court. The true remedy would be that the merchants and shipowners of Liverpool should re frain from this species of trade. It exposes inno cent commerce to vexatious detention and search by American cruisers ; it produces irritation and ill-will on the part of the population of the Northern States of America ; it - spirit of her Majesty's proclamation ex poses the British name to suspicions of ; and it bad faith, to which neither her Majesty's nation Government nor the great body of th eare justly obnoxious. It is true, indeed, the supplies of ammu nition have bee n sent to arms and the F e d era l s equally in contravention of th a t neutrality which her Ma jesty has proclaimed. It is true, also, that the Federals obtain more freely and more easily that of which they stand in need. But if the Confede rates had command J would, no doubt, of the sea they w ateh as "vig't an tl 1 y, and capture as readily, Bri tish vessels going to New York as the Federals now watch Charl es ton and capture ve ssels seeking to break th e blockade. There can be no doubt that the watchfulness exoreised by Federal cruisers reac hi ng the Confederat es b y to prevent supplies t vexatious visits of merc h an t ships no t engaged sea will occasiona ll y lead o in any pursuit to which the Federals can properly object. This, however, is an evil to which war on the ocean is liable to expose neutral commerce, and her Ma jesty's Government have done all they can fairly do ; that is to say, urged the Federal Government to enjoin upon their naval officers greater caution fier in the exercise of their belligerent rights. 'Majesty's Government, having represented to the United States' Government every case in which they were justifieA - in interfering, have only fur ther to observe that it is the duty of her Majesty's subjects to conform to her Majesty's proclamation, and abstain from furnishing to either belligerent The commercial advices from New York this week state that a feeling of despondency on the b l e ,h s e u n b c jte sy further breaking up Stock Exchange and among the merchants had become general.

The parties are eagerly seeking to buy on speculation for credit, looking forward to theliTospect of being able to pay in a very much worse currency even than the present. 1 The absence of faith in any news promulgated by the Secretary of the War Deparlment greatly in creases the tendency to distrust, and letters are pri vately circulated from the most respectable people at the South, and especially at Richmond, which daily aggravate the discouragement. Accomiing to the most trustworthy of these, the fight before Richmond was of a much more complete character than has yet been represented. AU the hacko, horses, drays, and carriages in the city, it is said, were pressed into the service to transport wounded men and captured property. "We have killed, wounded, and taken," it is added, "at least 35,000 men, 70 to 100 pieces of cannon and immense public stores, and have caused the enemy to burn many millions of their property. Two Generals (PCall and Reynolds) and three brigadiers, with uncounted inferior officers in crowds, are among the prisoners. Our own losses were from 12,000 to 15,000 men, and the Federal accounts of these battles and of M'Clellan's situation are ridiculous." The same letters state that General Bragg is in command of the army of General Beauregard, who is ill, and that Generals M.'Gruder and Price, the former of whom was reported b y the Federals to have been killed, have been ordered to the west of the Mississippi. Among the latest reports current at New York was one to the effect that General M'Clellan is to be removed from the army on lames River. INSPECTION OF THE METROPOLI7 _RAILWAY. Yesterday afternoon an experimental journey over the Metropolitan Railway, for the purpose of testing the efficiency of the line and works, was made by the board of the company. At half-past four a train consisting of two carriages and four waggons left Paddington for Victoria-street. The passengers numbered about 100, and included Mr. Wilkinson, the chairman of the company ; Mr. Parson, the deputy chairman ; Mr. Fowler, the en gineer ; several gentlemen well known in the rail way world, and a body of the workmen and labourers employed on the line. The journey was performed without any serious mishap, and we understand the directors are highly pleased with the ex periment. When the train got into the tunnel the passengers were surprised with the air of comfort that prevailed. The motion of the train was smooth, the tunnel was lighted with gas, and there was neither blind ing steam nor offensive smell. When :Edgware road station was reached the majority of the com pany alighted and examined the works, which are of a very substantial character and in a very for ward state. There was also a slight delay at the Baker-station for the purposes of inspntion. The tunnel that now faced the travellers had not an in viting appearance. It was, however, safely passed, as was also the Portland-road station, and at the Gower-street station the travellers were received with loud cheers by the crowd of employes .and others assembled. At this station some refreshment was provided by the company, and it was partaken of with hearty goodwill. Every man waited on himself, and there fore it is fair to infer that he was well served. The train then proceeded to King's Cross, and its recep tion there was highly enthusiastic. When the train was near Bagnigge Wells it proceeded at a very slow pace, and the wisdom of this precaution soon became very obvious. By some means or other the right wheel of one of the wag gons and the reverse wheel of the one that preceded it got off the rails, and it was some little time before matters could be rectified. The journey was then continued to Victoria-street. The idea impressed on the minds of all seemed to be the extent and solidity of the works, and the great engineering skill which had triumphed over enormous difficulties, A little more light in the tunnels would, we think, be an improvement. 7.HE ATTEMPTED FRATRICIDE AZ LEEDS.

Prisoner had purchased the pistol at Mr. Croisdale's shop, in Kirkgate, on Wednesday. When he first entered tho shop he told Mr. Croisdale who he was, a dding that he had been to school with that gentle man's son. Prisoner, after asking for ammunition, stated that he had come from Manchester, and was going to South Milford, where his father resided, and that he required a pistol with which to shoot sparrows and small birds. Shot of the No. 6 size was selected, and he asked Mr. Croisdale to charge the pistol. The latter did so, putting in from 12 to 13 shots, but he did not cap it. The six shot corns taken from the neck of the wounded man were of the same size as those he had loaded the pistol with. Mr. H. W. Price, burgeon, deposed, that though the prosecutor had continued to pregress, he was not yet out of danger , Mr. Granger, for the defense, contended that there was an a bsence of motive on the pa r t o f t h e prisoner, a nd that his actions were inconsistent with those of a man who was intending, to commit murder. The brothers werethe; - a on best terms, an d bad been together on the Thursday day. If the prisoner had intended . and Fri to kill his brother he had had frequent opportunities of doing so with out prejudicing himself, the shot in the , as he had done, by firing waiting-room or booking-office at a railway station. The magistrates committed the prisoner for trial at the York assizes. The Rev, H. J. Hatch, whose name was promi nently before the public some time ago, has been licensed by the Bishop of Carlisle to the curacy of Pennington ilancaahire.
