BANICA UPTCY AND CDANDERY.—This bankrupt was described vs of Ludgate-hill, umbrella manufacturer, and to-day crime up to pass his last examination on accounts prepared by Mr. March, Basinghall-street. The debts were nc t large, and the bankruptcy appeared to have arisen througL t some Chancery proceedings in which the bank rupt hat 1 been involved. It appeared that he had previously t 031857 been in partnership with a person named Eccles. Both, however, were made bankrupt separately, and an injun.crion was obtained against the present bankrupt, prohibiting him from interfering with the assets of the firm, but he was ultimately appointed receiver, and he gave security, and part of his present liabilities arose on a debt due to his sureties, an adverse judgment having been obtain (xl against him for a larger amount than was thought to be 'lnc to the estate of Eccles. Mr. Pook appeared for the bankrupt, and Mr. Mason (Mason and Sturt), for the assignees. His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the second class. IN RE SIMON. This bankrupt had carried on business as a wine and spirit merchant in London, and came up to pass his last examinatiou. Mr. Chidley was for the assignees, Mr. Pook for the bankrupt. The preliminary statement, furnished from the office of Messrs. Hart Brothers, showed debts about £1,664 ; assets, good and doubtful debts, £1,280. An application was made for an adjournment, as the ac counts had not been filed. His Honour asked what was the cause of the delay ? Mr. Hayles said that, unfortunately, the bankrupt had been confined in I Vhitecross-street Prison, and the delay was unavoidable. His Honour then granted an adjournment at the expense of the estate. IN RE WALTON AND WALTON. These bankrupts were described as of Gracechurch-street, and Clement's-lane, Lombard-street, ship and insurance brokers, and now came up and passed their last examina tion. The balance-sheet shows debtor to creditors unse cured, £16,790 ; ditto holding security, £4,388. Assets-- cash at Bank of England, £l6; property, £69; ditto in hands of creditors, £12,579 ; debtors good, £1,073 ; doubt ful, £189; bad, £953, and having claims against the estate of Charles Walton. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET. STEALING BRICKS FROM SEWER WORKS.—Martin Dowd, a labourer, James Pavey, a bricklayer, and William Tutton, a butcher, were charged, the former with stealing and the two latter with receiving, a quantity of bricks, the property of Mr. Edward Thirst, the contractor for the building of sewers for the vestry of St. James's. Cook, 175 C, said that, at four that morning, he saw the prisoner Dowd go up to the stack of bricks in Hopkin's street, and pick up about a dozen and walk away with them. He followed and stopped him, and sprang his rattle, when the prisoner Tutton came out of Berwick-street and said, " Martin, where have you been ? we have been wait ing for those bricks," and returned to 6, Berwick-street. He then took Dowd to the station, and on returning to the house, found Pavey and Tutton there. Dowd said, when he took him, the bricklayer sent him for them, as he was laying a copper at the house. Pavey having 'admitted he was the bricklayer doing the work, he took him into custody. There was a large quantity of bricks about the place exactly corresponding with those at the works. The prisoner Tutton was employed by the owner of the house, who was a pork butcher. Sergeant Glass, 3 C, said ho went to the house and saw Pavey setting a copper. There was a large quantity of new brick fresh laid, and Pavey said the labourer had brought them. He had taken two of the bricks from those set and they exactly corresponded in every particular with those Dowd had taken from the. works. Believed that above 100 had been taken. Mr. Edward Thirst, of John-street, Chelsea, said he was contractor for the works, and the bricks produced were part of a large quantity belonging to him which were at the works. He knew nothing of the prisoners. Pendrill, the watchman, said the bricks were taken from a gateway out of the line of works. He had seen Dowd pass once or twice but did not suspect his object. Welsh, the gaoler of the court, said Dowd had been con victed of stealing lead, and Sergeant Gummer was in attendance to prove it. The prisoners, who had nothing to say, were remanded. THAMES. SUFFERING INNOCENCE.—UNFOUNDED CHARGE OF FELONY.—Mary Ann Cosgrove, a servant girl, aged 14, surrendered on bail to answer a charge of stealing a 45 Bank of England note, the property of her master, J. W. Snowden, a druggist, of No. 15, Gloucester-terrace, New road, Stepney. The prosecutor, on the first examination, made a statement that it was with great regret he appeared against the girl, who was very saucy and petulant, and also self-willed, and that he should be glad if an asylum or re formatory would open their doors to her, and she might become a good girl. He then formally charged her with stealing a £5 note, which he missed from a desk in a room to which the girl had access. The note had not been traced, but he could not fix his suspicions on any one else but the prisoner, who, he was afraid, had fallen into very bad courses. The girl, who was in a state of great agitation, loudly protested her innocence, and said she had never been dishonest in her life. Mr Selfe had held her to bail in her own recognisance lis day. The prosecutor now said he had found the bank-note he charged the prisoner with stealing. He discovered it in his pocket-book on Sunday evening last, and he must have put it there. His wife had been to the girl's mother to assure her of her perfect innocence. He was very sorry for having made such a rash charge. He had made compen sation to the girl, and would continue to interest himself in her behalf. Mr. Selfe was glad there was this termination to the case ; and could not help remarking that the prosecutor should have been more careful, and that on the first exa mination he (the prosecutor) had said many things to the prejudice of the girl which he ought ought not to have done. There was not the least disgrace or discredit at tached to the girl. She was perfectly innocent, and he had great pleasure in discharging her free from taint and sus picion. A Mosr EXPENSIVE SMASH IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE.— Julia Mahoney, 31, a most reckless and desperate woman, who looked 60, and was in a wretched plight from disease, dissipation, and drink, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with destroying £24 worth of plate glass in front of the Angel public-house, Back-road, Shadwell. The prisoner has spent many years of her life in the Middlesex House of Correction for drunkenness, disorderly conduct, petty robberies, and assaults, and it has been often stated to the magistrates of this court that her conduct in prison was most orderly, correct, and proper, and that she was very useful. Out of prison, however, she is a complete nuisance and a terror to the publicans in the district, whose windows, she has smashed, and created great disorder and confusion. R. Stone, barman at the Angel, said prisoner was there on Friday for several hours, and demanded liquor, with which he refused to supply her. She was noisy and intoxicated, and he removed her several times from the house. When he ejected her at one door she came in at another, and threatened to smash everything in the place. He removed the pots and glasses off the counter to prevent mischief, and a man, on her promise to leave, gave her a pint of porter. This made her worse instead of better, and she continued her disorderly conduct. She obtained possession of a piece of wood, and was about to break the windows, but was prevented, and he took the piece of wood away from her. After a series of rows, and the use of most in famous and blasphemous language, ho put the prisoner out of the house and closed the doors upon her. He was obliged to open them again for business, and the prisoner, in spite of every obstacle, rushed into the house again, took up a pint pot and smashed the plate glass windows. Mr, Selfe—What is the value of them ? Witness—£24. here is a piece of one window (produc ing a piece of thick plate glass). Mr. Selfe—£24. I am only empowered, under the Act of Parliament, to order £5 or two months' imprisonment. Is it profitable in this district to have plate glass windows P Witnesi—All the plate glass is insured. Mr. Selfe—l have heard many of these cases, and the premium ought to be high. The prisoner said the barman told her she might break as many windows as she pleased. This was denied by Stone. James Stockley, 56 K, saw a great part of the disorderly conduct of the prisoner. who struck him violently. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner behaved well under diScipline in prison, and that was the best place for her. He ordered her to find bail, herself in £2O, and two sureties of £lO each, to keep the peace for three months ; and as no one would become bail for her, that would keep her in prison for three months. THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—The Australian Mail just brought home in the Teviot contained 94,000 letters. If the Victoria mail steamer had arrived out at Australia before the Teviot's mails had been despatched, it is expected that she would have brought home ten or fifteen thousand more letters than she did, in answers to the Victoria's cor respondence. SUICIDE OF A FEMALE 68 YEARS OLD.—Yester day a suicide of a lamentable character occurred at No. 4, Church-terrace, Waterloo-road. The police and several of the neighbours immediately proceeded to the house, and on entering the front kitchen perceived a fearful spectacle, for on the floor was lying a female named Humphries, 68 years of age, with her throat cut almost from ear to ear, the boards covered with gore, and a largo tableknife at her side, smeared with blood. The poor creature was evidently just breathing her last. Medical aid was at once sent for, and Mr. Young, the assistant to Dr. Johnson, of the York road, promptly attended, but not in time to be of any assistance, as the poor creature expired a few seconds after his arrival. There being no one m the room at the time beyond the deceased, not the least doubt can be entertained but that she committed the rash act herself. The body has been taken charge of by Mr, Adamson, the beadle, to await an inquest 'IRACLES. All France is honoured by another miracle. It occurred close on the fetes of Cherbourg. A peasant girl, of the French Pyrenees, was engaged in her ordinary pursuits, when suddenly a figure appeared to her in a grotto, whom she had no difficulty in recognising. The figure was the Virgin Mary. That was one miracle ; but it was followed %%- another. The grotto was very pretty before, but it now became useful. It had previously no water ; now a spring was bestowed upon the inhabitants of the Pyrenean parish. Infidels and Protestants might not believe in the figure whom they had not seen, but the spring at least was within the grasp of their degraded intellects. A commission has been employed to examine the story. The members are charged particularly to test the water of the well. If it should have the slightest pretence to the honour it is to be sold in bottles for the benef of the district. Perhaps it may be more profitable to sell the water in another way. A village might be built there. A shrine might be formed. If the place have the slighest claim for natural beauty, that should not be difficult. Devotees would take the ground consecrated in this peculiar manner. That mode, moreover, of turning this girl's vision into permanent profit might have another advan tage. It would compel the girls of other towns to examine grottoes with attention and care. It might elicit other miracles. There is abundance of space on the Pyrenees for small villages of pretty houses, with neat gardens, capable of being used as summer retreats, not only in the common, but the ecclesiasti cal meaning of the word " retreats." Penance on the Pyrenees would be lightened by the change of scenery to the inhabitants of Lyons or of Paris. They - would descend to the cares and labours of the plains doubly invigorated. They would derive health of body and of mind by their exercises, their meditations, and, if necessary, their stripes, but the latter would be light in these mountains. No doubt other and envious parishes and villages would es tablish rivals. So much the better. Too many miracles will not occur. Cardinal Wiseman is now in Ireland. There he proclaims the cold want of enthusiasm that freezes him in Eng land. He sees it in the rigid features of the solid crowd. Nothing will move them. His eloquence falLs on adamant or flint, or, at the "best, granite, like that of the Mourne Mountains ; -but when he reaches Ireland he is refreshed by enthusiasm, by smiles, by tears, by fervour and gratitude and warmth,—by faith, of which, never theless, he holds that M ar ti n L ut h er made a bad use. He first learnt the English language, he says, in Ireland; and he is like the old classic gentleman who gathered new strength and vigour always when he fell on his mother earth. The Cardinal re turns to England from Ireland refreshed--a new man, with a store of vigour for England to wear out. It may be all natural and true; but while France finds, Ireland loses " the holy wells." They were places of pilgrimage there long ago, and they arc now forgotten. The peasant passes around them behind his plough, instead of on his knees. Devotees do not look there for blessings. They do not go there in payment of their vows. Ireland retro grades, France progresses. In the matter of holy wells France is in the year 1558 as con t raste d with Ireland. This is a fact which Cardinal Wiseman should not overlook. To Rostrevor, or a Wicklow mountain, an event like that of the Pyrenees would be fortune.— Glasgow Bulletin. A :Tourney Due North. By Geo rg e A. Sala. Bentley. This is a very agreeable volume, containing notes of the autl or's residence in Russia during the sum mer of 1856. It is written in a fresh and animated manner, which imparts a delightful novelty to a subject that has occupied the pens of a good many travellers, and wearied a large number of readers and critics since the famous Turkish question. A bona fide description of the interior of Russia, by an Englishman, is still something of a novelty, and has decidedly the advantage over Turkey, Cir cassia, the Crimean battle-fields, and similar localities. The author starts in the true spirit of an enthusiastic traveller, and tells us how a trip to the grim land of the Czar and Count Orloff's police, was one of his childish visions. He thus amusingly relates his early dreams 011 the subject : " When I was a little lad, the maps were my story-books. The big marble-paper covered atlas, only to be thumbed on high days and holidays, had greater charms for me than even Fox's Martyrs or the Seven Champions. With this atlas and a paunchy volume with a piecrust cover (was it Brothes' or Maunder's Gazetteer ?) what romances I wove ! what poems I imagined I what castles in the air I built ! what household words I made of foreism. cities 1 what subtle knowledge I had o f the three .A;a' bias—Arabia Petra, Arabia Deserta, and Arabia Felix! How I longed for the time when I should be big enough to go to Spain (shall I ever be big enough to make that journey, I wonder ?)—what doughty projects I formed against the day when I should be enabled to travel on an elephant in Bengal, and a rein deer in La land, and a mu l e i n t h e Pyrenees, and an 4 ostrich in bylia, and a crocodile in Nubia, like Mr. Waterton ! ut my special story-book was that vast patch on the map of Europe marked Russia. In Europe, quotha I Did not Russia stretch far, far into Asia, and farther still into America ? I never was satiated with this part of the atlas. There was perpetual winter in Russia, of course. The only means of travelling was on a sledge across the snowy Steppes. Packs of wolves invariably followed in pursuit howling fearfully for prey. The traveller was always provided with a stock of live babies, whom he loved dearer than life itself, but whom he threw out, nevertheless, to the wolves one by one, at half -mile distance or so. Then he threw out his lovely and attached wife (at her own earnest request, I need not say), and then the wolves, intent on a third course, leaped into the sledge, and made an end of him. It used to puzzle m e cons iderably as to how the horses escaped being eaten in the commencement, for the sledge always kept going at a tremendous rate ; and I was always in a state of ludicrous uncertainty as to the steppes —what they were made of,—wood or stone; -or turf; whether children ever sat on them with babies in their arms (but the wolves would never have allowed that, surely) ; and how many steps went to a flight. There was attraction enough to me, goodness knows, in the rest of the atlas; in boot-shaped Italy; in Africa, huge and yellow as a pumpkin, and like that esculent, little excavated ; in the Red Sea (why did they always colour it pea-green in the map ?) ; but the vasty Russia with its appurtenances was my great storehouse of romance. The Baltic was a con tinual wonder to me. How could ships ever get into it when there were the Great and Little Belts, and the Kraken, and the Maslstrorn, and the icebergs, and the polar bears to stop the way. Russia (on the map) was one vast and delightful resisn of mysteries, and adventures, and perilous expeditions; a glorious wonder-land of czars who lived in wooden houses disguised as shipwrights; of Cossacks continually careering on long-maned ponies, and with lances like Maypoles; of grisly bears, swee t-smelling leather, ducks, wolves, palaces of ice, forests, steppes, frozen lakes, caftans, long beards, Kremlin, and Ivan the Terribles. Never mind the knout ; never mind the perpetual winter ; never mind the passage of the Beresina—l put Russia down in my juvenile itinerary as a place to be visited, cad° qui coke, as soon as I was twenty-one. I remember, when I was about half that age, travelling on the top of an omnibus from Mile-end to the Bank with a philosophic individual in a red plaid cloak. He told me he had lived ten years in Russia (Rooshia, he pronounced it), and gave me to understand confidentially that the czar ruled his subjects with a rod of iron. I grieved when he departed, though his con versa ti on was b u t common -pl ace . I f o ll owe d him half-way up Cornhill, gazing at the red plaid skirts of his cloak flapping in the breeze, and revering him as one who had had vast and wonderful experiences—as a Sindbad the Sailor, multiplied by Marco Polo. Oh, for my twenty first birthday, and my aunt's legacy,and hey for Russia 1" At length, when fairly started for his expedition, various vexatious delays hindered his progress. His despair at his long detention at Stettin, wait ing for thc.ice in the Gulf of Finland to take pity upon northern travellers, is pithetically described ; his passport difficnities, recalling the exploits of Jack and the Giants, are sufficient to deter any rash or impetuous persons from putting themselves in the way of such trials of temper. At length he joined himself with the rest of his fellow-passengers undergoing the inspection of the Custom-house at St. Petersburg. After narrating the old story of Schinderhannes, the Robber of the Rhine, and the caravan of Jews, he proceeds to describe the system adopted by these delightful officials : " I have related this little apologue to illustrate the charac teristic, but unpleasant, proceedings of the Russian custom house officers, when we had given up our keys, in one of the white-washed cellars on the basement of a building on the Ingliskaia Naberejenaia, or English Quay, and when those officials proceeded to the examination of our luggage. Either they had read Mr. Leitch Ritchie's Life of Schinderhannes, or they had an intuitive perception of the modus agendi of the robbers of the Rhine, or they had some masonic sympathy with the Parisian police agents ; for such a turning up of boxes and turning out of their contents, and mixture of their severalities, pell-mell, higgledy-piggledy, helter-skelter, jerry-cum-tumble, butter upon bacon, topsy-turvy, muck, mess, and muddle, I never saw in my hfe. There was a vfllanous douanier, who held a bandbox under one arm, and seemed desirous of emulating the popular hattrick of Herr Dobler ; for he kept up a continual cascade of gloves, collars, eau-de- Cologne bottles, combs, hair-brushes, guide-books, pin cushions, and lace cuffs, till I turned to look for the accom plice who was supplying him with fresh bandboxes. Now, the custom-house officers of every nation I have yet tra velled through, have a different manner of examining your luggage. Your crusty, phlegmatic Englishman turns over each article separately but carefully. Your stupid Belgian rummages your trunk, as if he were trying to catch a lizard ; your courteous Frenchman either lightly and gracefully turns up your fine linen, as though h e were making a lobster salad, or—much more frequently—if you tell him you have nothing to declare, and are polite to him, just peeps into one corner of your portmanteau, and says, C'est asset ! Your sententious German ponders deeply over your trunk, pokes his fat fore-finger into the bosom of your dress-shirts, and motions you t o s h u t it aga i n . B ut none of these peculiarities had the Russians. They had a way of their own. They twisted, they tousted, they turned over, they held writing- cases open , b o tt om upwards, and shook out the manuscript contents, like snow-flakes. They held up coats and shirts, and examined them like pawn brokers. They fin g e re d ladies': dresses like Jew clothesmen. They punched hats, and looked into their linings; p asse d Cashmere shawls from one to the other for inspection ; opened letters, and tried to read their contents (upside down), drew silk stockings over their arms ; held boots by the toes, and shook them ; opened bottles, and closed them again with the wrong c or k s; l e ft th e i mpress o f th e i r di rty hands upon clean linen, and virgin writing-papers ; crammed ladies' under-garments into gentlemen's carpet-bags, forced a boot-jack into the little French actress's reticule, dropped things under foot, trod on them, tore them, and laughed, spilt eau-de-Cologne, greased silk with pomatum, forced hinges, sprained locks, ruined springs, broke cigars, rumpled muslin, and raised a cloud o f p u ff-p ow d er and dentrifice. And all this was done, perhaps not wantonly, perhaps only in ignorant savagery; but, with such a reckless want of the commonest care; with such a hideous vicarme of shooting, screaming, trampling, and plunging, that the only light I could view the scene in—besides the Schinderhannes one— was in the improbable event of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley travel ling through the country of the Patagonians. falling into a gigantic ambuscade, and having their theatrical wardrobe overhauled by those overgrown savages." The following portrait of a Russian noble is not uninteresting : " The Russian is a gentleman whose two years' term of travel has expired, and who, not being able to obtain an extension of his leave of absence, and not very desirous of having his estates sequestered, which would be the penalty of disobedience, is returning, distressingly against his own inclination, to Russia, is an individual who looks young enough to be two or three and twenty, and old enough to be two or three and forty. How are you to tell in a gentle man whose hair, without a speck of isrey, is always fault lessly brushed, oiled, p'erfumed, and t arranged ; whose moustache is lustrous, firm, and black ; whose teeth are sound and white ; whose face is perfectly smooth, and clear, and clean shaven •; who is always perfectly easy, graceful, and self-posses se d ? The Russian Teaks English and Fren c h —the first language as you and ,my dear Bob, speak it; the second as our friend, Monsieur Adolphe, from Paris, would speak his native tongue ; by which I mean that the Russian speaks English like an Englishman, mad Frenchlikc a Frenchman, without hesitation, accent, or foreign idiom. Ile is versed in the literature of both countries, and talks of Sam Weller and Jerome Paturot with equal facility. I am, perhaps, not so well qualified to judge of his proficiency in Italian ; but he seems to speak that tongue with at least the same degree of fluency as he converses in German, of which, according to Captain Steffens, he is a master. lie laughs when I talk about the special' and astounding 'gift th t countrymen seem to possess for the acquisition o o f languages. ' Gift, my dear fellow,' he says, 'it is nothing the kind. I certainly picked up Italian m six months, during a resi dence in the country ; but I could speak .French, English, and Germanlong before I couldspeak Russian. ANines metres gentilhonames Russes, we have - we En have German glish profnurses ; we have have French or Swiss governesses; at college. As children and as adults we often pass days and weeks without hearing a word . of Russian ; an d t h e language with which we have the slightest acquaint ance i s our own.' The Russian and I soon grow to be great (travelling) friends. He talks, and seems to be well-in formed, on everybody and everythin g, an d slieaks about g " erinn ents and dynasties in p rec i se l y the same tone of eas y persiflage in which he discusses the Italian opera and the ballet. He tells Inc a great deal about the Greek church; but it is easy to see that matters ecclesiastical don't trouble' noes autres gentilhommes _Messes' much. He has been in the army, like the vast majority of his order, and is learned in horses, dogs, and general sportsmanship ; a branch of knowledge that clashes strangely with his gras sailleing Parisian accent. He proposes ecarte in an interval of chat ; but finding that I am but a poor cardplayer, he shows me a few tricks on the cards sufficient to set a mo derately ambitious wizard up in business on the spot, and contentedly relinquishes the pack for the pianoforte, on which he executes such brilliant voluntaries, that I can see the hard-favoured visage of Miss Wapps gazing down at us through the saloon skylight in discontented admiration —that decisive lady marvelling doubtless how such an accomplished Russian can condescend to waste his time and talents on such a trumpery mortal as I am. He shows me an album bound in green velvet, and with hi s c i p h er, an d coronet embroidered in rubies thereupon, and filled with drawings of his own execution. He rolls paper cigarettes with the dexterity of a Castilian caballero ; and he has the most varied and exact statistical knowledge on all sorts of topics, political, social, agricultural, an d li terary, o f any man I ever met with. And this is, believe me, as ordinary and everyday-to-be-found specimens of the Russian gentle men as the unlettered, unlicked, uncouth, untravelled John Smith one meets at a Boulogne boarding-house is of an English esquire. My friend, the Russian, has his little peculiarities ; without being in the slightest degree grave or sententious that facile mouth of his is never curved into a genuine smile ; those dark-grey eyes of his never look you bl the ittCe i big 0004 2 4 Royer tired 91' clzialcipz champagne, The Coroner, in summing up, observed that even if the doses had been large, they had, he did not doubt, been given with the best intentions. Despe rate cases required desperate remedies, and it would be a monstrous thing—which would soon cure itself, because dangerous cases would then be aban doned—if medical practitioners were to be deemed gui:ty of manslaughter, when, after they had exerted their utmost skill, such eases ended fatally. The room was then cleared, and the jury were engaged in consulting for a long time. They re turned a verdict to the effect that the deceased had died of St. Vitus's dance, the conflicting nature of the evidence preventing their coming to any other co nclusion. - --Manchester Guardian. CAPTURE OF A SLAVER. (From the New York Herald.) The United States brig Dolphin, Lieut. John N. Maffit commanding, arrived at Key West on Sun day, the 22d inst., from the coast of Cuba. The Dolphin sailed from Sagua-la-Grande on the morn ing of the 21st inst. At daylight she discovered a sail a-head standing on the same course as the Dolphin, which gained on her very rapidly during the d a y. A t four p.m. the sail ahead hauled on the wind, as if trying to get out of the Dolphin's course, which caused her to be considered a suspicious craft. The Dolphin tacked and stood off in pursuit, hoisting the English colours, and fired a blank cartridge, which not being answered by the other vessel, another was fired at half-past four p.m., and this also being un noticed, at five p.m. she fired a shot across the bows of the suspected vessel, which had the effect of producing the American flag at her peak ; but she still continued on her course, and seemed to be making her best endeavonrs to escape, when a well directed shot from the Dolphin took effect in her fore rigging, causing her to heave-to and lower her colours. On sending a boat on board she proved to be a brig from the African coast, with 318 negroes. Her crew were instantly confined, and the prize placed in charge of Lieut. J. M. Bradford and Second Lieut. Charles C. Carpenter, and 16 men from the Dolphin, with orders to proceed to Charleston, S.C. The captain of the slave brig is on board the Dolphin. The Dolphin will leave to-morrow morning for Boston. The brig's name was formerly Putnam ; gcli9 i'' on her stern ; but had been painted vier. THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

If 'he have an opinion on any subject, and he converses on almost all topics, it is not on board the ' Preussicher Adler,' or to me, that he will im part it.

The great Russian Boguey, as the author terms the secret police, appear to possess a terrible übiquity. It strikes the traveller on his first arrival. There are thirty passengers by the Prussian steamer ; they eat, and drink, and talk together, mingling freely as voy tigers and wanderers, but only twenty-nine take their places at the table in the cabin, where each has to give an account of himself and his passport to the officials. The 30th passenger takes his seat among these officials, asking his fellow travellers, with eool politeness, what their business might be ? He devotes an entire chapter to the especial description of this Boguey,which certainly appears in very unattractive colours, whether as a preserver of public order, or an uninvited constant fcompanion. "The Ischvostehiks," "The Merchants and Money - -changers," " The Russian Village," Music," " The Drama in Russia," " The Black People," &c., all occupy different chapters and arc described i n t h e lively style, and with the keen penetration which we find in most of this writer's pages. This work is as animated a compound of sense and nonsense, anecdote and humour, as one can readily meet in a traveller's tale . ; yet with it all the reader lays it down with a somewhat melan choly feeling. The perpetual supervision and übi quity of the police, the hopelessness of appeal from any grievance or injustice, the monotonous dejec tion of the people, the absence of all spirit, energy, or enjoyment of life in thousands of toiling labour ers, all combine to impress the denizen of a free country - witli a sense of oppression and gloom. Some of the hardships may have been ameliorated since the author's visit, but it is to be apprehended that much still remains to make a " Journey Due North" more pleasant in Mr. Sala's pages than in real earnest. The Seaman's Pocket Annual for 1858. Compiled by John Mayo, Esq. b'Byrne, Brothers. This useful little compendium is issued for the benefit of ma s t ers ,- apprentices, and seamen. It contains all information likely to be „required for the regulation of affairs between masters and sea men, matters of salvage, pilotage, & c . A no th er remarkable feature is the explanation of the system of signal flags for the commercial code, of which coloured illustrations are given, and of the ensigns worn by foreign merchant vessels. The best plans for preserving life from shipwreck, and in accidents, and casualties, &c., are fully and clearly explained, and the names of the principal officers of the Board of Trade, the Marine Board, and a list of the Sailors' societies are also added. The volume is published with the sanction and approval of the Board of Trade, which renders its information authentic. SUSPECTED DEATH FROM POISON. An inquest was recently opened at Bradford, bv Mr. Jewison, coroner, on the body of a youth named John Snowden Harrison, aged 16 years, who had died rather suddenly, after being under the treatment of several duly authorised medical prac titioners, but the interment of whose corpse was stopped in consequence of the last medical attend ant, Dr. Brady, (a homoeopathist), having returned a certificate to the effect that death was the result of the over-administration of strychnine. The in quest was adjourned to give opportunity to Mr. F. W. Rimmington, analytical chemist, to analyse the contents of the stomach. The adjourned inquiry was held at Bradford on Wednesday, and occupied five hours, the evidence, which was very conflicting, being altogether medi cal and scientific ; in fact, the case, in consequence' of publicity having been given to it, appeared to have excited considerable commotion amon'st the medical men in the neighbourhood, of whom there were eight or nine present, including two homceo pathic practitioners—Dr. Brady and Dr. Brereton. The medical witnesses, Dr. Brady and Mr. J. N. Terry, alleged that the appearances of the post 2nortent examination, which they had made jointly, indicated death to be caused by asphyxia, produced by over doses of nux milieu, from which strychnine was drawn. Mr. Terry, who had attended the deceased after Mr. Field, found him suffering from St. Vitus's dance or chorea, and had accordingly administered medicine compounded of tincture of iron, tincture of iodine, and cinnamon water ; and at the same time recommending the removal of the patient to the seaside as a better remedy for the disease. Mr. William Field, finding the disease one of a desperate character, admitted that he had after this prescribed 12 powders of nux romica of ten grains each, one to be administered every 12 hours ; at the same time telling the parents of the lad what the medicine was. Two of the powders were taken, one on the 27th ultimo, and the other on the 28th ; but the deceased refused to take more, saying the medi cal man should not "Palmer" him. Mr. Field justified his treatment in giving the powders of nux romica as being perfectly consistent, under the circumstances, with duly authorised medical prac +;,.. Mr. Rimmington had made an analysis of the contents of the stomach, but had not detected the presence of strychnine. lie thought that this, how ever, might be accounted for by the fact that such poison, whether given in flux vomica or othcwise, passed rapidly out of the system, and that two days had elapsed from the time of taking the medicine and death ensuing. Mr. Joseph Harrison, father of the deceased, stated that his son died in perfect calm, and not in convulsions. Dr. It. B. Lewis and Mr. Beach, surgeons, were called by Mr. Field in support of his mode of treat ment. The former gentleman, in opposition to Dr. Brady and Mr. Terry, stated that chorea was sometimes fatal. He had himself seen such a case in Bartholomew's Hospital in 1851, the patient being a young woman of 16 years, who, as in the present instance, had previously been in rheumatic fever, and there were several cases on record. Strychnine was recommended in 1841 by M. Trous seau, one - of the highest medical authorities in France, as the best remedy for chorea, and he had reported upon it at intervals since, and still recom mended it. It was a remedy which any medical man was justified in using. This was a severe case, and a slight remedy would not have availed. No one who did not see the case would be justified in saving the dose was too large. Ten grains of ?lux romiNt, given twice, with an interval of 12 hours, • and at such a time before death, could have caused no such result. Nifx vonnca was given for the strychnine it contained. The symptoms detailed in the present case were altogether those of chorea, and not those of poisoning by strychnine. The symptoms in the two cases were entirely different. The patient presented no symptoms of the effects of MIX vomica, and consequently that could not be the cause of death. Sharel Joint-Stock Banks. Paid. Closing I Business nice. J Done.
