It is an in vention having for its object the arrest of decomposition in animal substances. Those who have had much experience among the dwellings of the poor, and even of those taking a somewhat higher tank in the social scale, must be pain fully aware of the nauseous and often dangerous results ' arising from a death in such localities. There is an al :most universal desire to retard as long as possible the moment of separation from the cold and lifeless remains of these we have loved, and whom death has taken from among ua. We do not care to reason calmly on the prudence or wisdom of such a course; the feeling and the practice seem almost ineradicable, and they are strengthened by the dread of committing a mere semblance of death to the grave, and to all the horrors of a premature interment. The conse quence of this is, that the dead are often made sources of actual danger to the living, and still oftener effects are produced painful and revolting to those dwelling in the house of mourning. The attention of the French government was long ago directed to this evil, and scientific men were engaged in devising a remedy which i might be brought nto . general we. M. Gannal invented the process bearing his name, which consisted of an in jection, through the cartoid artery, of a fluid which acted immediately on the liquids and tissues, effec tually checking decomposition. But it was attended with two serious drawbacks. In the first place, it discoloured the body, an effect which prevented most private persons from employing it , since it rendered death more terrible than ever to the eye ; and 2dly, the preparation contained arsenic, and therefore was an obstacle to the discovery of the cause of death should it have been caused by that poison. Various improvements on the " Systeme Gannal" have been introduced, but none have come into general use, until the discovery of the processes employed and invented by M. Falcony, and the employment of which, under certain circumstances, has been rendered com pulsory in Paris and other French cities. These consist of the injection of a liquid as in the Gannal process, or the surrounding substance to be . pre served by a pow der mixed with sawdust. The chief ingre dient of the preservative substance is sulpha te of zinc, and the processes are stated in the report of the Board of Health to be as efficacious as they appear to be economical. The testimony of the lecturer at St. Bartholomew's Hospital and of other eminent medical men coincides with that of the Board of Health, and the invention seems to possess this very great advantage over its predecessors, that it will be an aid to medical jurisprudence, giving facilities for post mortem examinations for weeks after decease, and offering no obstacle to the detection of the presence of active mineral poisons. Tite report states that it leaves the surface of the flesh white, and free front any discolouration, and that in process of time it absorbs the whole of the fluids, the body becomes Mummified, and would ha reduced to "dust and ashes" with out giving out mephitic exhalations to poison or disgsst the living. If this invention can be applied so cheaply as is sup posed, there is no reason why its employment should not . be universal. By removing, at a vast cost, our cemeter ie s from the interior of towns, we have made one great step in the right direction; and if now we can do away with the evil ald annoyance arising from the temporary sojourn of the dead among the living, we shall have little to desire in the matter of inhumation, and we seall certainly owe a debt of grati tude to M. Falcony, to whose chemical studies and experi ence so clearable a result is to be attributed.—Daily Russia, appear y where been re- an war, l should courage in that ct with fortress presence DIVn for ; ra iglure I Ladle ucbess of lore, his his seat 111 THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 21, 1858: POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) THAMES. CLOSING Or COUNTY COURTS.—A WRONG WITHOUT A REMEDY.—Mr. Hugaine, a well known marine painter, applied to Mr. Selfe ler a suatmo•is against a publican who was about to leave this country, and who had contracted a debt of £6 7s. 6J. for painting two large pictures to decorate his house. Mr. Selfe thought it was a case for a County Court. Mr. Huggins said the Judges of the County Courts were enjoying their vacation, and it would be useless to take out a summons to be heard two months hence. He then pro duced a new,paper, in which was an advertisement an nouncing the sale by auction of his debtor's public-house and effects. _ Mr. Selfe was surprised to bear the County Courts were closed. He always supposed they were open every day in the year except Sunday, Christmas-day, and Good Friday, the same as police courts. Mr. Charles Young, a solicitor, said the BAv and Whitechapel County Courts were closed—one of them till the 27th day cf September, and the other until the last day of September. Summonses were now being issued for hearing in October. If the applicant had applied for summonses a fortnight ago,when the County Courts closed for the vacation, he could have had his case heard the last day of September. Mr. Huggins—l have given the publican two months' credit, and he has put me off from day to day with pro mises. Mr. Selfe—You should have been sharper. Your lenity has been the cause of yeur not getting the debt. You must now wait until October. Mr. Huggins—The publican will leave England before that—he is preparing for a start. It is a very hard case. We might as well adjourn this court for a couple of months. Mr. Young—l should not like you to do that, kir. The Police-courts are, very properly, open daily, and if they were to be closed we should be shut out from all practice. Mr. Huggins—The closing of County Courts for two months in the year is a great practical inconvenience, and must amount, in many cases, to a denial of justice. What am I to do, sir ? Mr. Selfe—Go and dun your debtor, dun him well, and make his life miserable. (A laugh.) Consult a lawyer. You can't do bAter than consult Mr. Young. The solicitor bowed, and thanked the magistrate, and said he had no objection to receive a fee from Mr. Hug gins, but he would now tell him candidly he could ob tain no relief until October. Mr. Selfe—There, you have that opinion for nothing. Every lawyer would not do that. (Laughter.) Mr. Huggins then re'ired. THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

SPURGEON.—Mr. Spur nem] made his first pulpit appearance in Ireland on Tues day evening, in one i of the Presbyterian churches in Bel fast. His audience s descr ibed . . as being numero us an d re spectable. The Northern lag concludes ft notice of his sermon, which is reported at some length, in these terms : —" We cannot deny that Mr. Spurgeon is a remarkable man, and we do not wish to deny . that be has ele m e n ts o f power and forcible expressi on wh i ch command the atten tion of his audience, an d of his celebrity are q ues ti ona bl e, an d which many more reveren d We m ay he permitted t o suspect that this wi,rld has full as m uch to do with Mr. Spurgeon's h d w i y i v t i N h n v o e h u s i which may i a i h y a e r e s h h n a n N S e y s a s h t ,tiarrin possessi on. ministrations as the next. From pulp it discourses such as his we cannot hope for any real or lasting benefits to society, or to the cause of Christianity.. The functions of the Apostle are in him too much overlaid with the an'ics of the m oun t e b an k to be productive of any permanent impression. The bril liant passages in his sermons, and the bursts of eloquence to which he occasionally gives utterance, are sadly marred by dramatised scenes of vulgar irreverence ; and, if last night's discourse be assumed as a fair sample, the thoughts of self intrude too constantly to impress the congregation with any belief is the absolute sincerity of the preacher's declarations. We are bound, therefore, to repeat, that in out opinion Spurgeopism is an extravagance. TZGETABLES. s. d. s. d.

MURDER AND SUICIDE AT CARLISLE.—On Mon day afternoon the body of a child was observed floating down the river Eden, at a short distance above the town. Ultimately it was droned out, and conveyed to the Turf Hotel, to await identification. At midnight the body re mained unclaimed, and it was supposed that the child belonged to some of the villages up the river, and had been accidentally drowned. During the night, however, a man, named Robert Irving, a bookbinder, became alarmed at the absence of his wife and one of his children; and having heard the report concerning the drowning of the child, he went to the hotel about six o'clock next morning, and found the body to be that of his little girl. He then appre hended that his wife was also drowned; and, having com municated with the police, the river was dragged, and the body discovered about noon on Tuesday, near the place where the child was recovered. An inquest was held on the hodi,s the same at'erooon, when Irving pta ed that at dinner time on Monday there was no dinner ready for him, and they quarrelled; but not more than usual. She had been in the habit of drinking for years, but he saw n o app earance o f unsou nd mind. She came to the shop about five e'cleck on Monday after noon pith the child, and he asked her to come in, but she turned round aad went away.' Ile :had always been kind to her, except when he had to find fault. George Edgar, the deceased's brother, said he called twice to see'her on Monday, and he noticed a wild restlessness in her manner, and was of opinion that her tnind was not sound. She wag u , ually very "tidy," but he noticed to her that her dress was dirty, and she replied, " Oh, it will be clean saon." There were no marks of violence se.: the body, and the jury found that the deceased ha'] destroyed herself and child while in a state of tv:sound mind. WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.—The works of the new bridge are proceeding steadily and satisfactorily, under the supervision of Mr. Page, the eminent engineer ; the abut me :As, both on the London and Lambeth sides of the river, being now nearly completed—at least as regards half of the roadway. One-half of tke six piers in the river longitudi nally are also carried to the required height, and ready to receive the beautiful elliptical iron arches destined to rest upon them. These piers are to be surmounted by octagonal pillars, which are now in course of preparation, anti consist of immense blocks of grey granite; they have moulded capitals and bases, all to be cut from the solid, and when finished will assuredly be amongst the finest examples of granite masonry in the kingdom. We trust the engineer will resolve to have them palished, in which case the great beauty of the material will be brought out, and they will thus, when completed, defy the action of cur London smoke, and remain for ages objects of real beauty. To give our readers some idea of the magnitude of these pillars we may state that the blocks of which they are being constructed vary in weight from 15 to 20 tons each. They have been cut at great labour from the quarries of Cheesewring and Penrhyn, in Cornwall. The new piers are 19 feet 0 inches above low water level, and are of the most sound and substantial construction, the details cf which we gave in our former notice. We may now only add that we have the satisfaction to state that, both with reference to the abutments and piers, such is their solidity that there has not been the slightest settlementor shrinkage in the entire stone.' work, which is more than can be said of the old bridge, built 111 sears ago, fur two of its arches fell, and were obliged to be rebuilt, before the structure was entirely completed. One-half of the approaches to the bridge are already eroded to their ultimate level both on the Surrey and Westminster sides, the former being close to the Old Red Lion Tavern, and the other at the base of the clock-tower of the Houses of Parliament. As a matter of course, the old tavern will have to be cleared away, and also property on the London side, in order to widen the approaches. The works at the bridge are now entirely shrouded from view by lofty hoarding, so that the public at large can have but a slight idea of the vast operations that are now proceeding silently (with the exception of the crash of the ponderous "monkey" used in driving the piles) withla for their special convenience. We may state for general information that the new structure is proceeding entirely independent of the old bridge, the new piers having been built between the old stone arches, and the additional width is being obtained on the upper side, next the Clock -tower of the Houses of Parliament. The half of the roadway will be opened to the public without at all interfering with the old bridge, and this is, we understand, the intention of the engineer, as soon as one-half of the new arches are completed, by which arrangement the ultimate half of the new bridge will be proceeding whilst the finished one is in use. The first half, we may state, will be within 3 feet of being as wide as the old bridge—viz., )42 feet 11 inch ; the total intended width to be 84 feet 3 inches ill the clear between the parapets. In preparation for the iron arches, what are technically called the " skewback stones," are all set at an angle of about eight degrees from the vertical, and are constructed of Yorkshire slabs, 15 inches in thickness. These form the springing -line of the arches. Messrs. Cochrane Brothers and Co. have the contract for the whole of the ironwork, and will be ready to commence o p era ti o ns as to the fixing of one-half of the width of the arches in about a week. In prosecution of the works connected with the bridge we may add that, as well as our legislators, the workmen have suffered much from the abotnivable stench proceeding f ro th t h e " no bl e r i ver ," so much so, that as many as six and seven men at a time have b een co mpelled to leave their employment, having been seized with sickness, nausea, and general physical prestra- Lion. We are sorry to learn that, in consequence of the excessive amount of casualties, the sick fund of the opera thesis catiroly exhiiusita."-Bui/ding News. flO/BRIZIOB MAUR.

SUN OFFICE, Six o'Clock. THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of this day.) LEEDS. —The market has been steady this mornine, and without any noticeable alteration. The tone continues firm. There has been about the usual attendance of buyers, aad a fair quantity of cloth has changed owners. ROCIIDALE. A still further improvement charac terises our market, despite the unfavourable influence of rusbbearing festivities. Manufacturers are approaching !he realisation of their aspirations after reasonable profits, and no orders are taken unless at increased prices. This chiefly applies to autumn goods, for which the demand is brisk. H upnEnsFlELD.—There were more buyers, business was generally brisker, low . goods went off well, and for fancies of good design and original character the inquiries were . lively, and the transactions fair and frequent. Prices re main uncharged. MANCIIESTER.—There is a continued improvement in all branches of the cotton trade, and a fair amount of busi ness has been transacted at some improvement in prices. Yarns have been in good demand for nearly all the export markets, including India, Germany, Holland, and the Mediterranean, and sellers are realising an ad vance of about d. per lb. Home trade yarns are also in request at a similar advance. The finer counts of yarn for B! adford and Nottingham are more in demand than for some time past, at firmer rates, and the same remark applies to all counts of doubled yarns. Cloths are not relatively in so good a position as yarns, they are more saleable than of late, and long cloths, domestics, T cloths, and printers realise rather better rates than last week. Wide shirtings, from 45 inches upwards are rather scarce and dearer. India cloths, including 40-inch shirtings, jacconets, and madapollams are selling moderately, at full orices, but they are not dearer. AQUATICS.

Lich has caused so much curiosity from the peculiar nature of the circumstances and the termination of the coroner's inquest, was again opened before Mr. Day man, the magistrate cf C.:is court. Lieut. Clavering was Placed at the bar, having surrendered in discharge of his bail, charged, on his own confession, with having caused the death of John Gates, near Act,m. Mr. Sergeant :Pallantine appeared for Lieut. Clavering; Mr. Giifard attended to watch the case on the part of Capt. Miller. Tke evidence taken on the former occasion having been read over, Mr. Tarl,too, superintendent of police, in answer to Mr. Daytnan stated the result of the inquest. Capt. was then called and examined, and reprtved his statement at the coroner's inquest, stating that he was walking out with Lieut. Claveriag on the bight in question, when they met rear Priory-lane a man apparently drunk. He, from his speech and manner, took the deceased to be a foreigner. Ile made a rush at them., and said he would do for them both. Clavering was the nearest to him, and a violent attack was made upon him by the unfortunate de ceased. Witness seeing at the time something in the man's hand which appeared like a knife, but might have been a pistol, called out to Clavering, " The man's a foreigner; take care, he has a knife in his hand." The deceased struck Lieut. Clavering a violent blow on the bead, and a struggle ensued with the swsrdstick, the sheath of which was cone. After toey left the man, Lieut. Cla vering said, " I h ope I h ave not pricked the man." Witness said, " You need be under no apprehension —you never struck kitn ;" but added he 'night have touched him in the arm. In a subsequent conversation, after passing the cart and telling the driver a man was lyin g i n t h e roa d , Li eut. Clavering said, "I am afraid something is wrong." Wit ness said, " You have done not hi ng of the kind—you never struck him." By Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—l am positively certain the prisoner never struck the deceased. By Mr. Dayman—The night was pitch dark; there were no lights. • Mr. Superintendent Tarleton, in answer to the magis trate, said that part of the road was not lit with lamps f , r nearly a mile. Henry George, in the service of Mr. Scot', Ealing, re peated his evidence given before the coroner. Police-constaable T t 236 deposed to finding the deceased lying in the road bleeding, but quite dead. Mr. Liogham, surgeon, also proved that the drat! of the deceased was occasioned by a wound half an inch in length, penetrating the lungs, and might htive been caused by the swordstick produced. By Mr. Sergeant BAlantire—Was present at the in quf st, and heard the sta'ement of Lieut. Cla‘erhag as to the mode in which the wound was inflicted; that statement was in witness's opinion perfectly consistent. Capt. Miller, i❑ answer to Mr. Day man, said the alter cation did cot last half a minute. In reply to the magistrate, Mr. Superintendent Tarleton said he bad no further evi dence to offer. Mr. Gates, the son of the deceased, was anxious that the case should be adjourned. Mr. Wyman said lie saw no reason for doing so. It appeared to him to be a misadventure. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said Mr. Gates was present at the inquest, and there was no suggestion that further evi dence was to be offered. After some further conversation, . Mr. Dayman said, looking at the whole of :the evidence, he could come to no other conclusion than that the death was occasioned by mischance. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said, if it had been necessary, he could have called a ❑urmber of witnesses to show that Lieut. Clavering was of the most mild and kindly dispneition, and vroulal be the last man in the world to have wilfully com mitted the offence. Mr. Gates, the son of the deceased, again strongly urged the adjournment of the cass, and endeavoured to show that the statements of Capt. Miller were inconsistent. The de 'endants had assaulted a drunken man with a sword•stick :n the dark. Mr. Dayman—But the defendants might have been under the apprehension they were about to he attacked, a n d Li eu t. Clavering had raised the stick in self-defence when the un fortunate ma:-: laid hold of it, and withdrew the sheath. He could not come to any other conclusion than that it was a mischance, and saw no reason for adjourning the case. If the prosecutor should obtain any further evidence, it would he competent for him to take further proceedings, but as the evidence stood he felt bound to dismiss the ease. Lieut. Claverintr was at once discharged, and lett the court with his friends. SHERBORNE ABBEY, DORSET. On Wednesday, the 18th inst., the zhoir of this fine old Abbey Church vim reopened for Divine service after hay ing been closed for nearly two years, for the purposes of repair and renovation. From the grandeur of the Abbey itself, and the motives which have led to its restoration, and the unusually complete and splendid character which that restoration hay assumed, a more than ordinary interest at taches to it; we shall therefore give a brief description of the edifice as it was, and it is, and of the ceremonials attendant upon its reopening. We may first, however, state that Sberbcrne was anciently the seat of a bishepric, the first cathedral having been erected by Bishop Aldhelm, A.D. 705. It is almost unnecessary to remark that of the edifice so founded not a vestige now remains. For 184 yens the Bishops of Sherburne reigned in peace, but in 889 the diocese was divided into two—Wilton and ..71lier borne. The two sees c , :ntinucd thus separated until the year 1014, when they were reunited in the person of Bishop llemeau, after whose death in 1045 the see was removed to Salisbury, and Sherburne finally ce2sed to be a bishopric. Th,s , present fabric consists of a nave, aisleo, and south porch, a central tower, north and south transepts, chapels attached, and a choir with aisles. There arc also remains of the lady chapel and cicieters. The general style of the church is perpendicular, but much of its individuality may undoubtedly- be traced to the ori ginal Norman plan and structure; the actual remains of Norman date are contine'i to the tower arches, some por tions of the transepts, and the south porch. In the year 1849 the nave and transepts were restored at the expense of the parishioners, as•isted by a gift from Earl Dfgby. The architect selected was the late Mr. Carpenter, under whose direction the restoration was carried out, and the present seating, organ, pulpit, &c., were erected. These works were brought to a conclusion in 1831. The choir was then left untouched, but its condition, which hat or some time given rise to much uneasiness, soon became so decidedly dangerous that it was no longer used for Divine service. No steps were, however, taken for its preservation until the year 1856, when the death of Earl Digby occurred. His nephew and heir, Mr.G.D.W. Di gby, of Sherborne Castle, then conceived the idea of making its restoration a means of preserving the memory of his uncle. It is therefore to Mr. Digby's sole munificence that these splendid and ex tensive works are due. With the view of carrying out his intentions Mr. Digby in the same year requcs'ed Mr. Sla•e*, cf C 2 rl tt n Chambers, the successor of Mr. Carpenter, to make a survey of, and report upon, the then condition of the choir, and to state the measures he should recommend to be taken to secure its safety, and give back to it its original beauty. This being done, and his report adopted by Mr Digby, the works which he recommended were forthwith commenced, and owing to the great vigour with which they have been pressed forward, were brought to a conclusion on the 18th instant. The beautifill st .ne face vaulting of the choir, which was in a very dangerous state, has been taken down, stone by stone, and entirely rebuilt, and over this has been erected a cove outer roof of oak, covered with lead. The flying buttresses, which were rapidly perishing, were then rebuilt, and the win dows and parapets restored, or rather renewed. It wilt thus be seen that the restoration has almost amounted to an entire reconstruction of the fabric. We should mention, however, that while so much new masonry was ne cessarily employed, it was an cbject of especial care with the architect to retain as many of the old stones as was practicable. Thus far of the restoration of the existing features of the ancient structure. We must now proceed to describe those which, until recently, bad no place within its wails; and first of the pavement : this is composed, as far east as the altar rail, of encaustic tiling, made by Messrs. Minton and Co. The majority of the patterns employed are reproduced from the old tiles found in the Abbey Into some cf the new ones the arms of the Queen, the Bishop, and of the Digbys have been introduced. Within the rails the floor is inlaid with marble mosaic, dis posed in various patterns. This is a description of pavement which, from its very costly nature, is but seldom employed in England ; a beautiful specimen of it (executed, how ever, by foreign artists) may be seen at Westminster Abbey. Next to be noticed are the stalls of oak which occupy the western bay of the choir on esch side; the hindmost rank being the old stalls of the monks, and the two front rows being new. The design for these is of the richest and most elaborate character. The old altarpiece, in the Corinthian style, has been re moved, and its place is occupied by a hew reredos of Caen stone enriched with sculpture. The centre bas-relief repre sents the Ascension of Our Lord ; the height of the figure is about four feet. Underneath this are three canopied re cesses; the bas-reliefs which occupy them represent the Last Supper. The reredos was carved by Mr. Forsyth. The choir is shut off from its aisles by stone screens and ornamental iron gates, which last, together with the rich brass gas standards which light the choir at night, were executed from the architect's designs by Mr. Skid more, of Coventry. The altar cloth of crimson velvet, embr oider ed gold, was worked by Mrs. Beard, of Regent-street, who also executed the rest of the Embroidery, with the exception of the kneeling cushion at the altar rail, which was undertaken by the Sherbcrr.e ladies .

At the reopening services, at 11 o'clock, a process i on was formed from the Town-hall to the Abbey, including the Bishop of Salisbury, wi s h hi s c h aplains, the vicar, the Rev. E. Harston, and 150 of the clergy in their canonicals. 'Morning prayer then commenced, the service being in toned by Preoendaries Heatheotc and Helmore. The service was Tallis; the anthem, "0 pray for the peace of Jerusalem." The musical services were directed by Mr. Piakeriog, the organist.
