AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.—The "Times," the "Lancet," and other leading journals have been lately canvassing the social considerations in volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice." some 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 society—destroying the happi ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony, under mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering t a i n o d n s t h h o r r o t n e a n h in t g am th il e ie li s v . es of its victims, and spreadi ng desola •••• - - • • The essential particulars relating to this great social evil (the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of maturity), together with ample instructions tor removing; its effects. and recovering health, vigour, and all the ennobling privileges of our being, are contained in Dr. LA'MERT'S " SELF-PRESE RVATION," a Treatise on Nervous and Phislcal Debility, of which the 90th Edition has Just been published by Mann and Co., 39.

During the past ten weeks 857,079 persons have visited the Crystal Palace, being an average of 85,000 per week. It is satisfactory to note that these large numbers still keep up, and as it has been determined that the International Exhibition shall remain open until the first of November, and it is likely that the visitors thereto will be composed in a larger degree of foreigners and country excursionists than even heretofore, all of whomlit may be said considering a visit to the Crystal Palace indispensable—it is more than pro bable that an addition of 400,000 to 600,000 may yet be made to the already large number of visitors during the present season. It was with many persons a matter of fear that the Crystal Palace would be injured by the International Exhibition at South Kensington. No such gloomy anticipations were, however, indulged in by the Syden ham directors; and as their policy, during a period of what might have been regarded as one of rivalry, has been to maintain the Palace and grounds in the highest possible degree of perfection, and as the Crystal Palace remains more than ever the one place of popular resort for all classes, there can be no doubt but that the admiration excited in the minds of the hundreds of thousands of persons from all parts, who have visited it for the first time during the pre sent season, must exerciseit highly-teirenanniluence en its fortunes for the future. _ _ It is understood that the exhibitors at the Crystal Palace have reaped a good harvest, and there is every probability of a large accession of articles of great interest on the closing of the Internati nal, it being now well understood by manufacturers and exhibitors that except on occasions of great decennial exhibitions, similar to the present Inter • national display, mere collections of industrial art—how ever interesting and meritorious in themselves—will aot draw sufficient visitors, unless supplemented by other and constantly varying attractions. _ _ _ It is in these respects 'hat the Crystal Palace stands in, and will continue to maintain, its pre-eminent position. The building, admittedly unrivalled throughout the world —its magnificent site and commanding situation—its Fine Arts Courts and Collections, comprising exact reprodue • tions of the chef d'oeuvres of sculptured art of all countries —its splendid exterior and interior gardens—these alone pre sent a Combined attraction without parallel. When, how ever, to this is added every passing special attraction of the day, and the facility of access by railway—about to be greatly increased—it is not to be wondered at,that exhibitors and manufacturers, desirous of introducing their goods and wares to the notice of purchasers, should turn their eyes to the Crystal Palace. The directors are fully alive to the importance of affording all the co-operation in their power to this department, and no doubt is entertained of great permanent benefit resulting in this respect to the Crystal Palace. Next week will be one of considerable special attraction, On Tuesday, a combined popular monster Fete, on behalf of Mr. Strange, the refreshment contractor, will be given, which will include all the usual, as well as other unusual novelties. Blondin will display his powers on the long rope over the fountains. The popularity of this unique performer continues unabated ; in himself he is sure to draw a host of visitors, but specially on the present occasion, when Leotard is also to make an appearance at the Palace. A series of trapezes have been fixed in the centre frau sept, upon which the latter will be enabled to ex hibit his daring flights on a far more extended scale than at any of his previous exhibitions. All the Great Fountains will be played ; the Rocky Mountain Wonders and the Etoile Family will entertain the holiday folks, and with a balloon ascent by Mr. Coxwell, military bands, &c., such a combination of attractions will be given from morning until night, as must render it one of the great days of the present great season. Excursion trains will run from all parts, and to enable visitors to leave the palace leisurely the naves and transepts will be brilliantly lighted in the evening for the first time. On Thursday the Great Fountains will be again played, and on Friday Blondin will repeate his low rope perform ance of last week, which was pronounced the most extra ordinary display yet seen of this celebrated performer. The experiment of making Saturday a shilling day has proved so successful, that it will be continued throughout the period the International Exhibition remains open. TREATMENT OF THE GARIBALDIAN PRISONERS. The following letters have been addressed to M. Rattazzi by some of the Garibaldian prisoners 'Fort of Monte-Ra ti, near Genoa, Sept. 11, 1862. Sir,—The Offletal Gazette recently contained a note by which it appears that the Government has declared that it gave the kiniest orders with respect to the prisoners of Aspromonte. The undersigned declare that they consider as arbitrary and illegal the term "prisoners of war,"which the Government has applied to them,and which would with draw them from the jurisdiction legally competent to try them. Upon this point, however, they reserve their pro test for an opportune time, when they will invoke the laws and principles of public right sanctioned by the statute. Meanwhile, in order that public opinion may not be led intt, error, and that there may exist a document to prove that the kind measures boasted of by the Official Gazette, if they were ever really ordered, were not executed; the un dersigned wish to inform the minister that so far from they and their companions being treated with distinction and re spect, on the contrary, from the very arrangement of the fort in which they are enclosed, 450 prisoners are crowded together without sufficient air or motion, prevented from walking outside the dormitories, and therefore compelled from want of space to remain always stretched, which is con. trary to the very first principles of health. The undersigned, although specially watched, out of the personal deference of the commandant o f th e f or t ,are s h ut up, to th e num b er o f 13 , is a small room, three metres square, without ever being able to go out. They have not yet been able to receive a letter from their families, and they are not certain that any of the letters w r itt en b y them have arrived at their ad dress. They lie upon th e groun d ; they are in want of everything necessary for personal cleanliness and the pre servation of health. They are rigorously refused all ex ternal communication, and it becomes every day more and more difficult for them to write or to procure any necessa ries from without. This is how we are permitted to pro cure the conveniences to which we have been accustomed as the Of f icial Gazette alleges. The undersigned do not ask for any special favour for themselves from the Minis ter, but in their own name, an d in the name of their com panions, they protest against this unworthy treatment and this strange rigour, which have been suggested by an un reasonable fear. The Government which treats us—us who have taken arms for the national unity to the cry of " Italy and Victor Emmanuel"—worse than it would dare to treat the vilest criminals—is endeavouring to excuse it self to public opinion by official lies. We demand light, air, room, motion; permission to obtain necessaries at our own expense, and to make known to our relations and friends 'where we are and how we are. Grant us this ; cease to tell lies and to deceive our families and country. (Signed) G.

DONCASTER RACES.—THURSDAY. The morning, which was occu pied in partially settling accounts on the great race of yesterday, opened with a splen did sunshine, and throughout the entire day the weather was lovely. Little or no business having been transacted on the previous evening (when the acceptances for the two large autumn handicaps were correctly given at a few minutes before midnight), betting was nearly at a stand still, and paying and receiving engrossed the attention of subscribers. The scene on the course was quiet as com pared with the previous day, and eight races were run off in four hours, to the gratification of a more select company than is often seen at Doncaster upon what is termed an "off day." The chief event, c a ll e d the Portland Plate, was placed last on the card, and produced a field of 20, causing a brilliant finish to the day's sport, during the fulfilment of which the Derby favourite, Lord Clifden, wasrun to a head in giving 101 b. to Bohemia. The Orphan won the Eglin ton Stakes to the surprise of her own party, and Tim Whiffler gave another proof of his quality, by beating the winner of the Ascot Cup with ease; the third furnishing a favourite for the Cesarewit c h. Th a t race and the Cam bridgeshire were touch e d u p on d ur i ng the day, but no bets of any very large amount came under our notice. The racing was over at half-past 5 o'clock.

Some time was taken up at the post by the breaking away of Amazonian, Cairncastle. My Mary, and Dirt Cheap. When the flag was lowered Cairncastle was the first away, and, with My Mary, Amazonian, Stampede, the favourite, and the Orphan closely laid, came on in advance ; the others, with the exception of Zetland, Brahmin, and Wingrave lying up. On entering into the straight Golden Dust came up on the outside, and in a few strides after obtained a clear lead, closely attended by Cairncastle, the Orphan, and Zetland. On reaching the enclosure, Golden Dust, and Cairncastle were beaten, and the lead was taken up by Lord St. Vincent's filly, followed by My Mary, who made her effort to get up at the post, but failed, and was beaten cleverly three parts of a length; four lengths between the second and third, Golden Dust was fourth, Zetland fifth, Cairncastle sixth, and Dirt Cheap next.

Vancouver cut out the work at a moderate pace, followed by Bathilde, Ace of Clubs, and Haddington to the turn into the straight; where the latter was beaten. The Ace of Clubs at the same ran past his horses, and came in with a clear lead, which he held to the end, and won cleverly by a length, two lengths separating the second and third, A Plate of 300 soya, added to a Sweepstako of 10 sovs each, for 3-yr-olds and upwards.

Asteroid made play at a steady pace, the favourite going on second and Silkstone last to the mile post, where Tim Whiter drew up to Asteroid's quarters, the pair racing for the lead to the rifle butts, where the favourite got his head in front, and came on with the running to the distance, where he gradually drew away and won in a very easy style by three lengths.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. A Court of Common Council was held yesterday at Guildhall, being the first since the vacation. The Lord Mayor presided, and the following mem bers of the upper house took their Feats :—Alderman Humphrey, Alderman Salomons, Alderman Sir R. W. Carden, Alderman W. Lawrence, Alderman Abbiss, Alderman Mechi, Alderman Hale, Alder man Dakin, Alderman J. C. Lawrence, one of the sheriffs elect, and Alderman Gibbons. The Recor der, Common Serjeant, and Mr. Sheriff Cockerell were also present, and there was a full attendance of the commoners. The TOWN CLERK read an application from the manager of the London Stereoscopic and Photo graphic Company for permission to take copies of certain pieces of sculpture and paintings, the pro perty of the corporation, and which are at present exhibited in the International Exhibition. The application was referred to the City Lands Committee, for them to do as they should deem advisable in the matter. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. The TOWN CLERK also read a letter from the Lord Mayor, as the chairman of the Mansion house Committee for providing funds for the relief of the distressed operatives in Lancashire and Cheshire, thanking the court on behalf of that com mittee for its munificent grant of £l,OOO from the funds of the corporation_ in tiid of the benevolent . object it had in view. The letter was ordered to be entered upon the minutes. THE LATE CITY SOLICITOR. The LoP.D MAYOR said he thought it right to inform the court that he had received a letter from Mrs. Pearson, the widow of the late lamented City Solicitor, announcing the death of her husband, and requesting him to give a formal notice of the fact to the court. Deputy HARRISONA moved that the letters be printed in the journals of the court." Alderman DAKIN said he believed it was always customary for a few observations to be made upon the occasion of the death of an old and faithful servant of the corporation. He was sure that every member of the court deeply felt the loss they had sustained—(hear, hear)—but he felt quite un prepared at that moment to enter upon the subject, and he should therefore suggest that the matter should be postponed to a future day. (Hear, hear.) The proposition was agreed to. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that the next duty that devolved upon the court was to take the necessary steps to appoint a successor to the late lamented gentleman, and he should therefore move in accord ance with the usual practice, that the subject be referred to the officers and clerks committee, for them to inquire into the nature of the duties and emoluments of the office of City Solicitor, and to report to the court whether any and what altera tions should be made in the office, and whether it could be advantageously combined with any other office. Deputy HARRISON, in seconding the motion, said he had seen in some of the newspapers a statement that several members of this court intended to become candidates for the vacant office. If this were so. it would perhaps be as well to suspend the standing orders of the court which would render them ineligible. (Loud cries of " No, no.'') He was glad to hear these cries of " no "—(laughter)—and he should, therefore, not further press the sugges tion. The motion of Mr. Taylor was then agreed to, as also was one by the same gentleman that Mr. Brand, the comptroller, should perform the duties of the City Solicitor until a successor to the late Mr Pearson was appointed. BENEVOLENCE. A letter was read from the Rev. Mr. Cohen, the rector of Whitechapel, thanking the court for its liberal donation of 50 guineas for the Bucks •row Ragged Schools in that parish. Tile letter was ordered to be entered on the minutes. COAL, CORN, AND FINANCE COMMITTEE. Mr. J. YOUNG, jun., the chairman, brought up a report from this committee having reference to the pioposed issue by the directors of the Metropolitan Railway of £300,000 preference shares bearing 5 per cent. interest, of which the corporation would be entitled to claim £70,580 in amount if they thought fit to do so. He said that the committee had decided to recommend the court not to increase the amount already invested by the corporation in this undertaking, but he wished it to be under stood that they had not arrived at this conclusion from any doubts as to the ultimate success of the company, but, having regard to the large amount of money the corporation had already invested, namely, £200,000 on the shares, and to the great demands that must necessarily be made upon the corporation funds by the erection of the new lunatic asylum, and the market in Smithfield, the committee did not con sider it expedient to expend such a large additional sum of money on the shares of the Metropolitan Railway at this moment. (Hear, hear.) The report was agreed to. BLAGKERIARS BRIDGE. Dr. ABRAHAM moved that it should be referred to the Bridge House Estates Committee to consider whether any and what remuneration should be of fered to the unsuccessful engineers who furnished plans, designs, estimates, &c., for the erection of a new bridge at Blackfriars, and to report thereon to the court. In support of his motion, Dr. Abraham observed that it should be borne in mind that those gentlemen had been invited by the corporation to send in these plans and estimates, and no one could doubt that they had devoted a great deal of time and attention to the subject, as well as incurring a con siderable expense, and he said it appeared to him they were both legally and equitably entitled to some compensation. Deputy RATIIBONE seconded the motion, but it wns opposed by Mr. Hopgood and Mr. R L. Taylor, and it was eventually put to the court and negatived by a large majority. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY. Mr. DE JERSEY, chairman of the City Sewers Commission, then brought forward a motion that it should be referred to the committee to consider whether this court should aid, by grants of money from the corporation funds, in such improvements as the Commissioners of Sewers have at this time in hand, or may hereafter consider it advisable from time to time to effect for the public benefit, and to report thereon. He said the court was well aware that in former times, before the Commissioners of Sewers were invested by Act of Parliament with the powers they now possessed with reference to making improvements in the City of London, the corporation had expended large sums of money in various improvements. Of late years, however, this important duty had principally been carried out by the Commissioners of Sewers, and it was un necessary for him to remind the court of the impor tant improvements that had upon several occasions been carried out by that body. The funds-for carry ing out these operations were raised entirely f r om the rates upon the inhabitants of the city.ust, an that f,i that appeared to him that it was only fair arid J . ea for hex© a portion of the amount that was reqtacircor corp purposes should be obtained from t t. the corpora unless resources. (Hear.) The citizens o already taxed very heavily, and impossible to would be London were tion gave its assistance, i t v c n o t u alterations and im inaporta resent under considera effect a great many provements that were at P the present motion felt assured that wh en would be agreed to, t a h n e d subject into c, nsicleration lion. He therefore tie felt the committee took t satisfactory conclusion. vße:NEaseconded the motion. osed it, on the ground that it theDyepwuotuylduaAtrTvrEci opp Mr. tend I would place too much power in th e h an d s o f the Se wera - - Commission, and he at the same ti me said tha t the motion appeared to him to b e unneces alit a s t he Commissioners of SeN.ven could at any time come to the court and ask for pecuniary assist— ance to carry out any improvements they were de sirous of effecting. Dr. Abraham, Mr. G. Walter, Mr. H. L. Taylor, and several other members of the court, supported the motion, which was put and declared by the Lord Mayor to be carried. A division was, how ever, taken, when there appeared—for the motion, 63; against it, 29. THE LIBER CUSTUMORDM. Mr, D. SMITH, the chairman of the Library Com mittee, brought up a report in reference to the miss ing portion of the ancient work called the " Liber Custumorum." It will be recollected that this work, which is of very ancient date, and which treated of the customs and charters of the City of London, extending over a great many centuries, was found to be muti lated, and the missing portion was accidentally discovered to be in the British Museum. There appeared to be no doubt, from the investigation that took place, that this portion of the work had been stolen from the archives of the corporation more than two centuries ago, and it appeared to have been purchased by the trustees of the British Mu seum from the representatives of Sir W. Cotton, into whose possession it had passed ; but although there is not the least doubt that it is the property of the corporation, the trustees of the British Mu seum declined to restore it, alleging that they have no legal power to do so. The committee now re.: ported that they had taken all the steps in their power to regain possession of what was undoubtedly their property, but were unsuccessful, and they stated that they were also advised that there were no means, either legal or equitable, by which they could compel the trustees of the British Museum to restore their property, and they therefore left the matter in the hands of the court. Some little discussion took place upon this ques tion, several members of the court expressing an opinion that as they could not take any steps, either legal or equitable, to recover the missing portion of the work, they had better not take any further trouble in the matter. Alderman DAKIN' said he differed from this opi nion, and although they might not be • able to en force their rights by legal proceedings, he believed that if they made out to the satisfaction of the Go vernment that the trustees of the British Museum were improperly and illegally in possession of pro perty belonging to the corporation of London, it would be all that would be required to obtain its restitution. It appeared to him therefore that the best course to be taken was for some independent member to mention the subject in the House of Commons, and call the attention of the Prime Mi nister, who was one of the trustees of the British Museum, to the subject. After some further discussion, it was arranged that the question should be referred back to the Library Committee for further consideration, and Mr. Norris, M.P., who had been appealed to, ex pressed his readiness to bring the subject before the House of Commons if the committee considered it expedient to do so. THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY. Mr. H. W. VALLANCE, the chairman of the Bridge House Estates Committee, brought up a report recommending the court to approve of a plan submitted by the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway for the erection of a railway bridge over the River Thames at Blackfriars. - The report was agreed to. The Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee brought up a report recommending that a sum of fifty gui neas should be granted to the Elizabeth Fry Re fuge, and a hundred guineas to the Finsbury Dis pensary. The report was agreed to, and the court shortly afterwards adjourned. MR. S. ZAINO AT MANCHESTER: Yesterday a special meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce was held in the Manchester Town Hall, for the purpose of presenting to Mr. S. Laing an address congratulating him upon his res toration to health, his safe return, and the results of Indian financial policy. There was a large and in fluential number of members present on the occa sion, amongst whom was the Mayor (who presided) Mr. H. Ashworth, President of the Chamber of Commerce : Messrs. T. Basley, M.P., M. Ross, J. Slagg, J. Pender, Sir Elkanah Armitage, tvc. The SECRETARY of the Chamber of Commerce, at the request of the Mayor, read the address. Mr. LAING on rising to acknowledge the presen tation, was greeted with loud applause. After some introductory observations, in which he said he would avoid all reference to the question of dispute between himself and Sir Charles Wood, he went on to say that by the last advices received from India the cash balances in the Treasury amounted to 19,600,000 of hard rupees, while a little more than 18 months ago there was less than 11,000,000 of rupees in the treasury. He pointed to this fact in proof that his financial policy had been beneficial to India. With regard to the point at issue be tween Sir Charles Wood and himself, it was one of figures. If 11 plus 21 made 134 then he (Mr. Laing) was right, but if 11 plus 21 made 10 then Sir Charles Wood was right. With regard to get ting a supply of cotton from India, he told them it would be a delusion for them to expect to get therefrom at once what was wanted. Our usual receipts of bales from America before this unfortu nate and lamentable war broke out in that country was about 4,000,000 per annum. That quantity could not be got from India for years to come, asp took from five to six acres to produce a bale of good clean cotton. Even if the railways and other means of transit had been extended in India they would not have brought us much more c otton thanwe luid had in India. A million of bales f rom lndia was a great fact, but as to the stories th at millions of bales were treasured up in the interior, that was all moonshine. Indian cotton had, how ever, saved mill in the world ; the stoppage of every cotton nu" there was no doubt of that, and h e had no doubt but that we should get a milli on and a quarter or from that coun try million and a half bales of c o n t o ur think the latter try th;,, not year, but he d id a It was the aecumn quantity would be exceede • r dia that had saved us lated stock of cotton in ' l3 e yots, or Indian farmers, ' from a cotton death. h T ii i , a id them the best, like all would grow that whi , c ; 'C a otton growing produced other people would aging the cotton at the value about £5 per acre, the t h e same quantity of land, at would produce tea, for in. of 6d. per lb., whileflabour, of about £3O. What the Euro the same cost 0 stance, of the hie tvashoulddo was this ; they shouldesta atSa-gencies throughout Ind' pean capit la—agencies blish EureP e d IA al directly with the ryots and farmers that so' e ' ' withou t t he native middle men intervening. The g entleman then went on to speak of the right hon. ent of India, and strongly condemned the Gov ern m ' India' Council which 11.:. held had no right t o gov ern a c ountry of whose people they knew so little, and from which they were distant 8,000 miles. He con demned in strong terms the policy that had been pursued by Sir C. Wood and the Council with re gard to Lord Canning's minute respecting the free sale of waste lands. By pursuing such a policy as that they endangered the peace of India, and put a stop to all good Government and the progress of India. He was very anxious and curious to know what course Lurd Stanley would pursue with re gard to the course adopted by Sir C. Wood. He (Mr. Laing) hoped that some one would move a resolution in the House of Commons next session condemning Sir Charles's conduct in cutting short the existence of the minute issued by Lord Canning, authorising the sale of waste lands. If any one did that, if the house did not upset the counter order of Sir C. Wood, the best of the debate would be on the side of the mover of the resolution, and the number who would vote for the resolution would be large. ' At the present moment there was as much difficulty n obtaining waste lands years before Lord Canning ,sale.

The Guildhall was densely crowded w ith so me of the principal inhabitants of the town , and the p r isoner seemed to feel keenly his disgraceful p osition. The case was felt to be o ne .of considerable wasn.sider lookedablein uteproen as stf b ro e m ing th th e efateetrmthiantatn of itiosdiscovery sories of robb er i es of a similar character. For some time past there have been numerous complaints of nNni ey, stamps, rings, studs, purses, and many other articles o f value which should have passed thron,gh Lynn postoffice in letters, never arriving at their places of destination, and in consequence of the.sotrnewhat extravagant habits .of the frisenq suspicion fell on him. On Monday an inspector from the ur ic letter department and a detective officer came to Lynn, for the purpose of discovering the delinquevt. The usual course was adopted of posting a test , - letter, but the prisoner displayed some considerable acumen in the way in which he committed the robbery. At half-past nine o'clock a letter was deposited in the letter-box of the Lynn post-office, containing a marked half-sovereign and sixty pos tage stamps, the envelope being directed to Mrs. Gibbon, 2, Vinten-place, Tunbridge-wells. That letter should have been forwarded by the 11 10 London mail, in which case it would have passed through the General Post-office in London that afternoon. It did not do so, and Inspector How son went to the post-office and saw the prisoner, whom he asked if he was;not on duty in the post office that morning alone. He replied, " Yes." When asked who sorted the letters for the morning mail, he replied that he did some of them, and added that it was not his duty. The inspector asked him how he came to do it if it was not his duty, and his reply was that the sorter was late, and he helped him. He denied having seen a letter directed to Mrs. Gibbon, Tunbridge-wells, and was searched, but nothing was found upon him to criminate him. The following day he. was ap prehended. It appears that the prisoner was in sole charge of the post-office from 8.10 a.m. to 12 at noon, one of the sorters (Towler) being the only official beside Enefer who was present within those hours, and Towler was only there from 10.35 to 11.13. The half-sovereign and the stamps appear to have been abstracted from the letter, which must have been afterwards destroyed, and the piece of coin placed in the money-order drawer, from whence it was taken by the prisoner and paid over to a lady named Kemp, who drew the money upon in order that day. One of the duties devolving on the money-order clerk was to place his name or initials upon the order when he paid it, which the prisoner had done. Mrs. Kemp could not swear that the prisoner was the man who paid the money, although she felt certain that it was him. The evidence having been gone through so far as it was possible to complete it, the magistrates re manded the prisoner till Monday. Mr. Ward, who appeared for the prisoner, said any amount of bail was forthcoming, if they would accept it. Mr. Wilkin, for the prosecution, opposed it. The magistrates declared to accept it. OE WE GLASGOW MURDER CASE. The trial of Mrs. M'Laehlan for the murder of Jessie M‘Pherson, on the 4th of July last, corn menced cn Wednesday forenoon before the court of Justiciary at Glasgow, Lord Deas presiding. No objection was offered, as anti c ip a ted, to the relevancy of the indictment, and the trial proceeded. The greater part of the day, h owever , was occup i e d in getting over purely formal p re li m i nar i es , or ex amining witnesses as to details in the case neces sary to bring out the proof in a legal manner. There was no less than sixty articles brought into court to be referred to in the evidence given at the trial. The case created great excitement in Glasgow and large crowds at the door of the court were un able to gain admittance. During the sitting the most important witness examined was Mr. James Fleming, in whose house the murder took place, and son of the old nian, Fleming, who was at first apprehended on suspicion, of the murder, having been left in the house from Friday night till Monday morning alone with t h e deceased. Witness described the state of the house a was standing at er, when he returned on Monday, after having been ab sent since Friday foreno on. He said—" Wh en I go t in dinner ead of thethoe lobby, bby , man, f a th line with the clock. My son said to me , ' There is no use of sending the for head any thing here for dinner, as the serv an t i s run off, and. i there is nobody to cook t. My son, alluding to my father, said the latter had not seen her since Friday night ; and, b e added, he says ' Her room door is lacke d; These were, the words he ex p resse d t o me . I said That i s a curious story.' I felt surprised at anything of the sort from a woman of such steady habits. My son further added, She may be lying dead in the room for aught he knows'—knowing his a bsent habits.' Witness then described how the se rvant was found, stripped of all clothing bit of cloth thrown o ver th e upper part o f th e b o dy, and lying on the floor of her bedroom off the kit chen. As he at on ce ca ll e d i n th e au thorities, he could give no particular account of the appearance of the body. INGENUITY IN COMMITTING SUICIDE.—On Tues day a convict in Spike Island, named Thomas Morris, so violent that handcuffs had to be kept on him in his cell, was found to have committed suicide with great determina tion in the following extraordinary manner :—.From the window of his cell, the sash of sufficiently low to m which is Ofiron, a t a her i e t o is f a, a slight slope inwards, coming u man ' s mounting upon it, even with handcuffs on, and owing to the thickness of the wall there is plenty of *Ace on the slope for a man to rest his body upon. The panes of the cell window ara alternately of glass and perforated zinc, and are about six by seven inchs urfa ce, a ll pu ttied i n Morris having mo un t e d on the slope,u taking his sheetwitb, - him, forced out one of the perforated zinc panes, and got a twisted end of the sheet through, and brought it round to the next zinc pane, passing over the glass, lest, it is sup pOSed,;the noise of breaking the glass should create an alarm Having brought the end of; the sheet in, and tied it with a most unfailing knot, round two bars of the sash, he tied the other twisted end round his neck unhappily with an equally unfailing knot, and then, what appears the most difficult to have accomplished, handcuffed as he was, he forced his feet and legs over his hands until his hams came to rest on his arms. In this posture he must have thrown himself off the slope of the window, so taking away the slightest pos sible chance of struggling against the horrible fate hu courted with such fatal ingenuity. He was found by the officers of the prison in this posture, suspended by the neck from the sash of the window, with his feet scarcely six inches from the floor of his cell. Morris was undergoing a sentence of five years' penal servitude passed on him two years ago, and had undergone a former sentence of penal servitude under the name of Thomas Ellis. The Orkney and the Shetland Isles were the pledge of the dowry of Margaret, daughter of Christian 1., who married James 111. of Scotland, in 1469 ; and as the dowry was never paid, the islands came to us, with Scotland on the death of Queen Elizabeth. At the same time we had a Queen from Denmark, the wife of James 1., and the mother of Charles 1., being the daughter of Frederick 11. of Denmark.
