FALCONY'S ANTISEPTIC PAEPARATIONS.—Among the varieus sanitary matters which have recently occupied the attention of the Board of Health there is one the ui and importance of which will be evident to all. It is an in vention having for its object the arrest of decomposition in animal substances. Those who have bad much experience among. the dwellings of the poor, and even of those taking a enmewhat higher rank in the social scale, mast be pain fully sweep of the nauseous an 4 often dangerous results arising from a death in such localities. There is an almost universal desire to retard as long as possible the moment of separation from the cold and lifeless remains of these we have loved, and wham death has takes from among us. do not care to reason calmly on the prudence or wisdom of such a course; Minuet in eradicable, 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 °Permr 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 tn!gbt be brought into general use. M. Gannal invented the process hearing his name, which consisted of an in / pe gp n , thrOUgh the cartoid artery, of a flu id which l ag t ef t Immediately on the liquids and tissues, effec tually checking decomposition. But it was attended with two serious draveliack-e. In the first place, it disc oloured the body, an effect whinli prevented most private persons f r om 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 impro v em ents on the " Systeme Gannal" have been introduced, but none have come into general use, until the discovery of the t rocesses employed and !R ented by M. Falcony, and the employment of which Certain circumstances, has bee n rendered corn.' pulsory in Paris and other . French . cities. These consist of the injec tion of a liquid as In to the be Galina! The chief inre proces, or the surrounding substance pre iserveci by a powder mix ed with sawdu st. g dient of the preserv ative substance s sulphate 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 pstimony of the lecturer at S t . Bartholomew's Hospital and of ether eminent medical meta coincides with that of the board of Health, and the invention seems to passes . s this very groat advantage over its predecessors, that .. it will be tin aid to medical jurisprudence, giving facilities for . post Tortoni examinations for weeks after decease, turd °tiering Ito obstacle to the detection of the preeence of active mineral poisons. This report states that it leaves the surface stole he flesh white, and free from any diseolouration, and th process of time it absorbs the whole of the fluids, the body becomes mummified, and would be reduced to"dust and ash . es" with out giving out mephitic exhalations to poison or disgust the living. If this invention can be applied so cheaply 49 is sup posed, there is no reason why its employment should not he universal. By removing, at a vast cost, our cemeteries from •he interior . of towns, we have made one great step in colon and if now we can do stray the with the evil the right * sad ann„ya n-ce from the temporary s ojourn of the dead among the living, se6 _have little to desire in the_ ma, ter audy owe a .debt grafi of inhumation , and we seail I studies and expert tude to M. Falcony, to whose vice so desirable a result is to be attribu:.°4-4gl News. iIIEFEB/NCI BRASIL COLONIAL GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. Can. Gov. 6 p.c. Jan.&July, 100 113 114 1134 Do. 6 p.c.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TIIM DAY.) ' THAMES.—CLOSING or COUNTY COUIITS.—A ''WRONG WITHOUT A REMEDY.—Mr. .Higgins, a well , known marine painter, applied to Mr. SOU for a summons against. a publican who was about to leave this country, and who bad contracted a debt of gc, 10. 61 for painting two large pictures to decorate his house. Mr. S= lie 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:nu:onions to be heard two months hence. He then pro duced a newspaper, in which was an advertisement an nouncing the sale by auction of bis debtor's public-house and effects. Mr. S,lfe was surprised to hear 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 8,,w and Whitechapel County ourts were closed—cue of them till the 27th day cf September, and the other until the last day of September. Summonses were now being issued for heating in October. If the applicant had applied for summonses a fortnight ago, when the County Courts closed for the vacation, he c old have had his case heard the last day of September. Mr. Huggins—l have given the publican two mouths' credit, and he has put the off from day to day with pro mises. Mr. Selfe—You should have been sharper. Your lenity has been the cause of your not getting the debt. You must now wait until October. Mr. Huggins—The publican will leave England before that—he is preparing for a slam t. It is a very hard case. We might as well adjourn this court for a couple of mouths. Mr. Young—l should not like you to do that, sir. 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, duo him well, and make Lis life miserable. (A laugh.) Consult a lawyer. You can't do hater 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 retired. THIS DAYS MARKETS.

MURDER AND SUICIDE AT CARLISLE.-011 Mon day alteraoon the body of a child was observed floating down the liver Eden, at a short distance above the town. Ultimately it was dragged out, and conveyed to the Turf Hotel, to await identification. At midnight the body re mained unclaimed, and it was supposed that the child belt.nged 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 . . tended that his wife was also drowned; and, having cotn municated with the police, the river was dragged, and the body discovered abo u t noon on Tuesday, near the place where the child was recovered. An inquest was held on the bodies the same afternoon, when Irving stated 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 no appearance of unsound mind. She came to the shop about five o'clock on Monday after noon with the child, and he asked her to come in, but she turned rouad sad went away.' He :had always been kind to her, excerpt 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 mind was not sound. She was usually very "tidy," but he noticed to her that her dress was dirty, and she replied, " Oh, it will be clean soon." There were no marks of violence on the body, and the jury found that the deceased had destroyed herself and child while in a state of unsound 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 ments, both on the London and Lambeth sides of the river, being now neatly completed—at least as regards half of the roadway. One-half of the 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, and 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 plished, in which case the great beauty of the material will be brought out, and they o ill thus, when completed, defy the action of our London smoke, and remain for ages oljects 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 Pcnrhyn, in Cornwall. The new piers are 19 feet 6 inches above low water level, and are of the most sound and substantial construction, the details of which we gave in otr: 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 set tlement or shrinkage in the entire stone work, which is more than can be said of the old bridge, built 111 years ago, for 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 graded 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, iu order to widen the approaches. The works so at the bridge are now entirely shrouded from view by lefty hoar di ng , that the public at large can have but a slight idea of the vast operations that are now proceeding s il en tly (with the exception of the crash of the ponderous ,c mon key" used in driving the piles) within 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 parliamen t. 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 arc h es 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 ,hate, will , be within 3 feet of bein g as w ide as the old briticse—viz., 42 ' feet la inch; the total illtehded width to be 84 f e et 8 i nc h es In 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, Mes,rs. Cochrane Brothers and Ca , have trip contract for the t he ironwork, and w hole of will be ready to commence operatipt4 as to the *iing of one-h a lf o f th e w idth of the arches In a b out a week. In pr osecu ti on o f the works canneelcd with the bridge we may add that, as well as our legislators, the workmen have suffered much from the abominable stench proceeding from the " noble river," so much so, that as many as sis: at:rt seven men at a time have been cellPelled to leaa, e their esapl o y men t, h av i ng been seized with sickness, nausea, and general physical prostra tion. We are sorry to learn that, in consequence of the excessive amount of casualties, the sick fund of the opera dyes Is entirely exbausted. — Building New FRIDAY.

(From the Leeds Itiercury of this day.) • LEEDS.—The market has been steady this morning, and without any noticeable alteration. The tone continues firm. There has been about the usual attendance of buyers, and a fiiir quantity of cloth has changed owners. ROCHDALE. A still further improvement charac terises our market, despite the unfavourable influence of rusbbearing fesitsities. Manufacturers are approaching the realisation of their aspiration!, after reasonable profits, and no orders are taken unless at increased prices. This chiefly applies to autumn goods, fur which the demand is isk. HUDDERSFIELD. —There were more buyers, business was generally brisker, low goods went cif well, anti for fancies of good design and orhinal ehare.cter the inquiries were lively, and the transactions fair and frequent. Price; re main unchacged. MANCIIES'CER. — Then 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 , td. per lb. Home trade yarns are also in request at a similar advance. The finer counts of yarn for Bradford 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. Clcobs 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 shillings, from 45 inches upwards are rather scarce and dearer. India cloths, including 40-inch shirtings, jaccorets, and nnadapullams are selling moderately, at full prices, but they are not dearer. AQUATICS. LONDON ROWING CLUB.

In a subsequent conversation, after passing the cart and telling the driver a man was lying in the road, Lieut. Claver!og said, "I am afraid something is wrong." Wit ness said, " You have done nothing of the kind—you never never ise ll lr l r r . .

Henry George, in the service of Mr. Scots, Ealing, re peated his evidence given before the coroner. Police-constaable T 236 deposed to finding the deceased lying in the road bleeding, but quite dead. Mr. Lingliam, surgeon, also proved that the death of the deceased was occasioned by a wound half an inch in length, penetrating the lungs, and might have been caused by the swordstiek produced. By Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Was present at the ia quFst, and heard the statement of Lieut. Clasering as to the mode in which the wound was inflicted ; that statement was in witness's opinion perfectly consistent. Capt. Miller, in answer to Mr. Dayman, said the alter cation did not last half a minute. In reply to the magistrate, Mr. Superintendent Tarleton said Ile had no further evi dence to offer. Mr. Gates, the son of the deceased, was anxious that the case should be adjourned. Mr. Dayman said he saw no reason for doing so. It appeared to him to be a misadventure. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said Mr. Oates 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 Gyiden ce , he could come to no other conclusi on than that the death was occasioned by mischance. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said, if it had been necessary, be could have called a number of witnesses to show that Lieut. Clavering was of the most mild and kindly disposition, and would be the last man in the world to have wilfully com mitted the ()Renee. Mr. Gates, the son of the deceased, again strongly urged the adjournment of the case, and endeavoured to show that the statements of Capt. Miller were inconsistent. The de fendants had assaulted a drunken man with a sword-stick in the dark. Mr. Dayman—But the defendants might have been under the apprehension they were about to he attacked, and Lieut. Clavcring had raised the stick in self-defence when the un fortunate max 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 ca , e. If the prosecutor should obtain any further evidence, it would be competent for hint to take further proceedings, but as the evidence stood he felt bound to dismiss the case. Lieut. Clavering was at once discharged, and kit the court with his friends. EXAMINATION. At the Court of Bankruptcy, Basinghall-street—Aug. 30, at 11. W.

On Wednesday, the 18th inst., the choir of this fine old Abbey Church was reopened for Divine service after hav 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 tkat restoration has assumed, a more than ordinary interest at taches to it; we shall therefore give a brief description of the edifice as it was, and as it is, and of the ceremonials attendant upon its reopening. We may first, however, state that Sherborne was anciently the seat of a bishopric, the first cathedral having been erected by Bishop Aldbeirn, A.D. 705. It is almost unnecessary to remark that of the edifice so founded not a vestige now remains. For 184 years the Bishops of Sherborne reigned in peace, but in 889 the diocese was divided into two--Wilton and Sher borne. The two sees continued thus separated until the year 1044, when they were re suited in the person of Bishop lletneau, after whose death in Hl. the see was removed to Salisbury, and Sherborne finally cused to be a bishopric. The present fabric consists of a nave, aisles, and south porch, a central tower, north and south transepts, chapels attached, and a choir with aisles. There are also remains of the lady chapel and cloisters. The general style of the church is perpendicular, but tench of its individuality ntay undoubtedly be trawl to the ori ginal Norman plan and structure; the actual remains of Norman date are confined 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, assisted by a gift from Earl Digby. 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 1851. The choir was then left untouched, but its condition, which had 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 o ccurre d. His nephew and heir, Mr.G.D. W. Digby, 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 Lis intentions Mr. Digby in the same year requested Mr. Slater, of Carlton 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 beautiful stone 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 new outer roof of oak, covered with lead. The flying buttresses, which were were then rebuilt, and the win dowsraaldidply sbarappeertisrinesg;ored, or rather renewed. It will thus be seen that the restoration has almost amounted to an entire reconstruction of the fabric. We should much o new especial cessarily ment i on , however, that while tywhailn e esoltiect n ed a ' s many of the old s t ones as was practicable. architect Thus far of the restoration of the existing features of the ancient structure. We must now proceed to describe those which, until recently, had no place within its walls; and first of the pavement : this is composed, as far east as the altar rail, of encaustic tiling, made by Messrs. Minfon and Co. The majority of the patterns employed are reproduced from the old tiles found in the Abbey Into some of 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 e ich 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 altar-piece, in the Corinthian style, has been re moved, slid its place is occupied by a new 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. Skidmore, of Coventry. The altar cloth of crimson velvet, embroidered 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 Sherboree ladies. and Colour wal ls andwit with gild ing good effect.have been Finally, introduced the wholein the of f vaulting the east window are placed a variety of -• subjects e e clerestor windows win dows have been filled with the richest s b t .e a n i e n tts e ß d its g abk l o a ep s ny s s . fofo l ms n lit t eh : Bible, including the Crucifixion, S.c. martyrs, prophets,and kings. clay e t x on ecuted designed a nd line of f th e e ao b a r o e r ne fille d tog w e ;t i e ' s of London.
