H art i culated the phrase yvcdc o-Eccuroy, he who first introduced ,the in ductive method of reasoning, he who first contrived an accurate mode of employing general terms, who by his definition of the moral virtues rendered them conformable to reason, and who, without the aid of re velation, approached by an instinctive wisdom to some of the sublimest dogmas established by Christianity, surely deserved more than this meagre memento of three octavo pages. Bearing in mind the one fact that Socrates was the founder of Moral Philosophy, the importance of his advent upon the intellectual condition of the human race can scarcely be exagge rated by any epithet, however eulogistic. True, it is, without question, that this great man, the claiefest glory of the golden age of Pericles, demanilS; to a certain extent, a less particluar mention than scree of the less illustrious philosophers _of Greeat for inasmuch as he never wrote a syllable himselff - los the public examination, while they composed #olUmes. But even in regard-to the art of composition And The graces of .rhetoric, Socrates requires an inferential • consideration, seeing that his spoken lessons inspired so many of this tliselples to pe n books t h at can never die, while he himself is said to have venific d 2Esop in his dungeon, and to have assisted his pupil .Euripid es in the production of his matchless tragedies. If, 1, 05 ,_ ever, Mr. Blakey has disappointed us- in the und ue brevity of his chapter upon Socrates ; he has ful filled all our expectatiOns in hi.; commentaries upon most of the successors of that glorious phi losopher. - In his exposition of the syllogisms of Aristotle; in his account of the exquisite system of Plato relating to images, notions, and ideas as ap pertaining to sensation, to the understanding, and to reason ; in his definition of the conjectures of Demo critus ; in his reference to the ideal creatures born in the imagination of Paraeelsus, the silvans (sylphs), undines (nymphs), gnomes, and salamanders ; in his observations on the dogmatism; of Malebranche with his egotistical " Cogito, ergo sum ;" in his delineation of the radiant theories of Descartes, and of the frigid speculations of Spinoza; in his analysis of the Essay of Locke, as well as in his explanation of the idola tribes, the idola speclis, the idola fori, and the idola theatri as propounded by Lord Bacon—the historian of mental philosophy has been singularly felicitous. As specimens of the ingenuity with which a theoiy is " packed" by Mr. Blakey into the most portable dimensions we here transcribe a " table" from his chapter on Locke, and an example of a syllogism from that on Aristotle.

Jere is a sorites syllogism, which although pat en t t o every schoolboy, may yet be glanced at with ou t dis dain by the general reader, forgetful of the smell of slate pencil, and even of the whang I of the ferule : " Man is an animal, Every animal is a body, Every body is a substance, Therefore every man is a substance." This, our more reminiscent readers will not have forgotten is a form of syllogism of uncommon use, different from the ordinary process, inasmuch as it contains an additional proposition, and from the syl logisms called ethymeme, inasmuch as the ethymeme consists of only two propositions with an intermediate ellipsis. After having perused the laborious work of Mr. Blakey it will be no longer possible to regard the history of metaphysics as presenting " nothing but a wild chaos of abstruse systems, of conflicting opinions, and unshapely chimeras." On the contrary, it will resound upon their memory in a thousand beautiful and ravishing harmonies—harmonies, like those of Beethoven, rendered still more entrancing by this sudden and occasional merging into dissonance. For having carried this daring undertaking to a suc cessful issue Mr. Blakey is alike entitled to our en comium and our congratulations. He has inscribed his name upon the history of metaphysics, and in so doing must have assuredly realised his loftiest ambition.

Mr. We therell, from a personal Inspection, can most strongly recommend the whole of the stock at Oxenhoath, for Sale, by Auction, they being well calculated not only to improve the herds of old breeders, but to lay a good foundation for any young beginner. The Shorthorns have been most judiciously selected from the herds of Messrs. Topham, of Keal-hall, Shaw, of Brantlagham, and Mr. Salisbury, of Mavis En derby. The remaining 70 Cows, Heifers, and Steers (although with out pedigrees) are of the short-horned breed and exceedingly good. The Leicester Ewes are two shear, having been selected (shearlings) in 1847, from the well-known flock of William Richardson, Esq., of Limber, Lincolnshire, are remarkably goad, being large - sized, g ood wool, well made, and as good blood as can be. The crosses are from Leicester Ewes by a Down Tup, and from Down Ewes, by a Leices ter Tap ; are prime for the London market, being extremely fat and of good quality. Catalogues, with pedigrees of the Short-horned Cattle, and all other information, may now be had of Mr. Herbert Prickett, 122, Chancery-lane, and 23, Paddington-green, London ; and of Mr. We therell, Durham. " Mrs. Weelsiey inserts this testimony to:lhe virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 1 Is. bottle If tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund mice, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume itl far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any ady of respectability to the above fact .—S, Swan-street, Borough. In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w ,ireps on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, maxe it strong, and Prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the 'lair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and Sewers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the strewn of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an flour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

We thought as much. The case of Mary Spry is a pill to them which they cannot digest. You will know what to infer from their silence. They have no answer—that's the fact. So far as we are concerned, we should have allowed the matter to end here, feeling well assured that the fame of Morison's Pills cannot suffer from the ravings of a few mad doctors who are incensed at the 115,0001. paid by Mr. Morison for stamps ; but we cannot allow the case of Mary Spry and Mary Ann Dore to rest where it is, and we hereby earnestly call on all editors of newspapers to come forward and see that justice is done to these unfortunate parties. How stands the case ? why thus : Mary Spry, and Mary Ann Pore, her daughter, were indicted at Newgate in the month of August last for the wilful murder of their child, aged four months, with arsenic. On the trial it turns out to the perfect satisfaction of the judge (Baron Platt) and jury, that they had had nothing whatever to do with such poisoning (who had, we leave the public to guess), and they were forthwith ac quitted ; the judge expressing at the time the natural indignation he felt pretty strongly. The expense of their defence from this odious and unnatural charge amounts to 2001. in lawyers' bills, doctors' bills, and witnesses—not one farthing of which has been allowed. Now, it is submitted that, if ever there was a case in which the expenses incurred by the defence should have been allowed, this is that case. /Tay, more, we contend that these parties are entitled, and well en. titled to a remuneration from the country on acccnat of the anguish and anxiety of mind which they must have endured. We therefore do hope that the press of this country, so distinguished for fair play, will step in and see that justice be done to these parties. Should we be disappointed in this, we shall certainly advise Mrs. Spry and her daughter to petition the House of Commons. In conclusion. we have only to say that we took up this case entirely on public grounds, as being one which shows in its worst teatures the infamous practice of doctors using poisons as medicines. through which innocent parties Might even be brought to the scoffed. We never saw any of the parties until after the trial, and after we had bronght the case before the public in the columns of The Itygeist, in consequence of which they came and laid their case before us. If the 2001. is not returned to these women. justice is at an end in England I Let the judge, Baron Platt, be at once appealed to. We understand that Mrs. Spry ant Mrs. Dore reside at 4 and 5, Lower Grosvenor-Place, Pimlico. What can the doctors of The Dispatch say to this case?

The visit from France of the National Guard Is a capital theme for the mercantile bard, Who, with every good Englishman, heartily cries— " Three cheers for our neighbours and friendly allies." The National Guard, from accounts that are written, Seem highly delighted at visiting Britain. And wherever the good strangers have been, They've declared themselves pleased at the sights they have seen. The writer of this being present, for one, When the 'National Guards came to MOSES and SON, Can attest to the pleasure which each seemed to show As he wond'ring stroil'd through the mighty depot, Net one cf the visitors failed to admire The shops set apart for the sale of ATTIRE. They noticed the mart in its business design, And they noticed the dress, which they thought very tine. At the sight of the fashions each heart seemed to glow (Ind Frenchmen are judges ef fashion, you knew), And every one gave the peculiar shrug On seeing the Over-Coats, stylish and snug, Not a guard did I notice but seemed to be won By the elegant dresses ef MOSES aid SON. After they inspected the prime HATS AND CAPS, In which you'll imagine some time would elapse, And I scarcely need say that the National Guard, On seeing the goods, stared remarkably hard, Such indeed was the case, and I didn't see one Who gave not due credit to MOSES and SON. They nett made their w to the prime BOOTS AND RIO Which of coarse they had n• disposition to lose, And here (for I judge from the shrug and the start), They were equally pleased with the grand City Mart, Aid I certainly thought they were "sensible Sirs," When I saw how delighted they were with the FURS. " Well done, Messrs. Moses ; well done," said each man (I give the translation as well as I can), And having applauded these winter affairs, They looked at the OUTFITS AND HOSIERY WARES, Which goods pleased them well, as the ethers had done, And caused them to compliment MOSES and SON. And be it remembered that, after inspection, Each one of the .‘ Nationals" made a selection. Many thanks, gallant Guards, for your liberal aid, With warmth is this public acknowledgment made, And with this very view did the mercantile bard Select for his subject the " National °nerd." E.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em citter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea 4f caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un somprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness end social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should fern au item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely that poverty or misfortune.

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human breast. More exalted than mere passion, it sears high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tido of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in tko heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. flow is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been Instituted by Divine Law for tie fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently he beyond measure deplorable 1 Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION, illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa tions** the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

RETIKW OF IRA WORK. LaVert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes mast plunge him 1 In the book before us such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

BEDFORD-AWARD, LONDON. THE CHOLERA.:—The new cases reported since our last publication are as follows:—In Edinburgh on Mot.- day 25, Tuesday 12, yesterday 14. In Leith Sunday and Monday 24, on Tuesday 14, yesterday 12. The deaths in Edinburgh during these three days have been 41 ; in Leith 13. The recoveries ascertained since our last publication are in Edinburgh 6 ; in Leith 9. The cases still remaining are—in Edinbur g h 83 ; in L e i th 87 ; in Newhaven 1. About the end of last week the epidemic broke out in the village of Loanhead, and from the parish of Lasswade there have been 29 cases reported, of which 18 have proved fatal. These were nearly all colliers in Loanhead, living within 400 yards of each other. From Crookston, parish of Stow, one fatal case is reported, that of an itinerant hawker, who had left Edinburgh a few hours before being taken ill. In Musselburgh as well as Portobello we are informed that cholera has appeared, in several cases fatal, but as yet there has been no authentic return from these places. There have also been seven cases reported in tire parish of Liberton, four of which have proved fatal. The sheriff has issued a circular to the inspector of the poor of each parish in the county. requiring him to make a daily return of the cases of cholera in his parish, properly authenticated. The 24 cases reported from Leith on Monday were chiefly in the centre of the town. In Edinburgh a great proportion of the victims resided in some part of that long line of over crowded streets, extending from Croft-an-righ, near Holyrood, to the Grass-market and West Port. Among the new localities in Edinburgh is the Water of Leith village, where the dise ase first appeared on Monday. Caledonian Mercury.

By Robert Blakey. Among all the departments of knowledge, that of Mental Philosophy, or the Philosophy relating to the faculties and powers of intellect, is the foremost. Since the time of the Stagyrite, it has been emphatically distinguished'as the First Philosophy - all the °that branches of thought, those referring to external objects, and thoseolgain, devoted to the ccnsideratiots cf moral duties or obligations, being based, in the first instance, upon the truths established in this paramount field of investigation. Notwithstanding this incontrovertible fact, notwithstanding the univer sally ackno a 'edged pre-eminence of Metaphysics over every other description of Philosophy, it is marvellous to reflect that since the close of the eighteenth century the cultivation of this profound study has been almost entirely neglected in our owe country, and that until the appearance of the very remarkable work before us, the science of Mental. Philosophy was altogether without an historian. For two powerful reasons, therefore, we are disposed to welcome the publication of these four volumes by Mr. Blakey with a satisfaction in some measure commen surate with the dignity of the subject, the develop e ment of which that gentleman has here narrated with so much eloquence and erudition. Hitherto, we have said, Metaphysics have been without an historian. Political Philosophy has had its Brougham. Moral Philosophy has had its Paley. Physical Philosophy, or Natural Philosophy, as it is more frequently termed, has, in each of its almost innumerable divi sions, had some illustrious exponent—in'Chemistry a Braude ; in Optics a Newton ; in Astronomy a Copernicus ; in Anatomy, a - Quain ; in Geology, a Buckland ;' in Hyd rau li cs' a Galileo; in Eth no l og y, a Prichard; i n Z oo l ogy , a Buffon ; in 'Botany, .a Lin mous ; in Philology, a Leibnitz ; in Mechanics, a Fergusson; and so on uninterruptedly through acou stics, hydrostatics, pneumatics, navigati on , en t omo l ogy, ornithology, meteorology, ichthyology, conchology, helminthology, mineralogy, and the rest of.-these in exhaustible departments. But Metaphysical Philo sophy—the philosoPhy which above all others most required a certainklegree of classification in order to render its results available, and its progressive ad vancement comprehensible—remained without any book of nomenclature. Until Mr. Blakey com pleted these four noble volumes there was no book which attempted, even in the most elementary or superficial manner, to depict the rise and the pro gressive development of the most purely intellectual of all the sciences. Metaphysical Philosophy was never until now deliberately mapped out, chronolo gically or otherwise, if we except the incidental cone tributions towards a chart of metaphysics contained in Mr. Hallatn's " Literature of the Middle Ages," the preliminary treatises of Cudworth, Enfield, and Stanley, together with the isolated Dissertation by Dugald Stewart, prefixed to the latest edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. At length this won derful hiatus, in the records of human know ledge has been" 'filled up by the scholarly and laborious hands of the author of these pretentious octavos—pretentious we mean in their simple charac ter, in spite of the graceful humility expressed as to their ulterior destiny in the " Preface." Mr. Blakey has not only done good service to the student in me taphysics, but has, in like manner, let us hope, taken an appreciable step towards the revival in England of that study which was placed in the van of all the sciences by the venerable hand of Aristotle. By the recent changes effected in the scholastic administra tion at Cambridge, natural philosophy has heen ad mitted to a companionship with classic literature and mathematics—let us hope that the first philosophy, the philosophy treating of mental powers and facul ties, will no longer be excluded from the general course of university education. By discontinuing the cultivation of this s pi r itu a li s i ng and elevating study, England has tended to propagate in an alarm ing degree those barren and hideous doctrines of Materialism which have found advocates and pane gyrists in a long catalogue of godless philosophers, dating from Volney down to Humboldt. In Eng land the exclusive cultivation of the physical sciences has led to one extreme. In Ger many the exclusive cultivation of mental philosophy has led to another. In the latter country the system has produced visionaries ; in the former Deists and Atheists, or—which is, if possible, even worse—an enormous multitude of indifferentists and latitudinarians. By a gradual infusion of more sober inquiries into the philosophic schools and coteries of Germany a beneficent alteration is being already effected—" spiritualism is gradually becoming more material, and materialism more spiritual.' The extremes of the credulous majority and the sceptical minority are being knit up together, and on the anvil of revolutions they will doubtless be soon welded into one solid and homogeneous mass. In England a modification of an equally surprising character remains to be effected : and for the further ance of this great social improvement we do not recollect a more distinctly initiative step than the publication of Mr. Blakey's novel and ingenious " History of the Philosophy of Mind." It is a work abounding with treasures culled from the golden reliquary of classic literature. It is of such mar vellous scope (extending as it does from Thales to Whewell), and'of such various character (embracing as it does the gaudy hallucinations of Paracelsus and the practicable schemes of Gioberti), that it brings irre sistibly to our remembrance the panegyric pronounced by Byron on the masterpiece of the inimitable Bur ton. Any one, said Byron, after reading the " Ana tomy of Melancholy," might pass through life as a good classical scholar, although wholly unacquainted with any other work relating to the Greek and Latin literature. Any one, say we, might pass through life creditably, as a proficient in metaphysical philosophy, after perusing this single work on its developement. The symmetry, so to speak, which is imparted to-the knowledge of mental philosophy by the mode in which the different metaphysicians have been classified by Mr. Blakey, is something surprising, after the chaos in which the mind of the student has hitherto floundered about without beacon or landmark, without either compass or rudder. To afford some conception of the manner in which this is accomplished, we may cur sorily advert to the construction of the materials con stituting the four volumes of the " History." Volume One, consisting of thirty-eight chapters, describes the origin and progress of metaphysics from the earliest period of mental speculation to the commencement of the scholastic philosophy—particularizing in the mental philosophy of Greece, the lonic School (Thales, Anaximander, Diogenes, Anaxagoras ' • &c.) ; the Italian School (Pythagoras) ; the Eleatic School (Zenophanus, Heraclitus, &c.) ; the Second Eleatic School (Empedocles, Democritus, &c.) ; the Greek Sophists (Socrates, Protagoras) ; the Cyrenic and Cynical Schools; the Schools of Megara, Elis, and Eretria (Euclid, Plato, Aristotle) ; the Sceptical School ; the Stoical School ; the Alexandrian School, and its numerous followers. Subsequently is men tioned the Roman School of Moral Philosophy, illus trated by the genius of Cicero and Lucretius. Next come the United Philosophers of India - the Gnostic Metaphysicians ; the New Platonists,.and the Ancient Fathers of the Church, including Origen, Isidore, Tertullian, St. Augustine, Cassiodorus, Cyprian, Eu sibius, Ambrose, Jerome, and Chrysostom. The Arabian Metaphysicians, the Persian Sophists, the Cabalistic Metaphysicians, the Philosophers of the Jews, and the Metaphysicians of the Saxons, such as Alcuin and the Venerable Bede, bring the first volume to a conclusion. Volume Two, numbering thirty chapters, carr i es t h e sciences down to the period of Locke —recording the labours of the Scholastic Metaphysicians (Lanfranc, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Bonaventure,D uns Scotus, &c.); and on the appearance of Dante, Raymond Lully, Erasmus, Cornelius Agrippa, Paracelsus, Luther, Calvin, Melanethon, Knox, Lord Bacon, Hobbes, Montaigne, Descartes, Pascal, Malebranche, Spinoza, Bossuet, Huygens, Fenelon Fontenelle, L e ib n i tz, and John Lo c k e. Volume Three, ' containing twenty two chapters, proceeds as far as the first French Re volution at the close of the last century, particulariz ing such men as Wollaston, Butler, Stillingfleet, Bayle, Muller,: Berkeley, Hume, Rousseau, Turgot, D'Alembert, Reid, Horne Tooke, Diderot, Voltaire, Helretius, Hartley, Priestly, Darwin, Fergusson, Emmanuel Kant, Volney, Condorcet, an d C a ba n i s . Volume Four, comprising nine chapters of consider able length, terminates only with the present time, detailing the labours of Dugald Stewart, Thomas Brown, Coleridge, Whewell, Macintosh, Schlegel, Fichte, Royer Collard, Lameanais, Buchez, Benjamin Constant, Brissot, Victor Cousin, Claude Henri, Count de St. Simon, Charles Fourier, Pierre Leroux, Tommassen, Gioberti, Mamiani, Van de Weyer, and Emerson. From the mere enumeration of these more prominent among the metaphysical writers of ancient and modern times, some notion may be formed of the effort required in the accumulation of facts for the composition of an historical work such as the one undertaken by Mr. Blakey. The abundance of ma terials almost defied compression into the compass of four volumes, but this compression has been effected by our author with very considerable skill. Occa sionally, it is true, the necessity of reducing matters to the briefest possible compass has induced Mr. Blakey to abbreviate precisely where some slight extension would be most. agreeable. Take, for ex ample, the chapter upon Socrates. It occupies scarcely three pages, including a note of reference. Of all STAmronD, Nov. 10.—Yesterday's fair, for horned and polled cattle, was th e l argest ever known. On Tuesday and Wednesday there were arrivals at the vil lages and inns in the neighbourhood from almost all the northern parts of the kingdom; they came by rail as well as by road, and many of the lots were accompanied by Scotch and Lishdrovers. On Wednesday 200 beasts reached Stamford direct from Glasgow, and yesterday morning the trains b roug ht truc k s filled with live stock. It is impossible to judge uccuratAy cf the number of beasts offered for sale, but they were supposed to amount to between 12,000 and 15,000. or three times the ave rage number exhibited at Smithfield market on any day during 1847. The open fields extending from the back of the Rock-gardens to Emlyn's close were crowded, and so thickly were the animals studded in the town that St. Peter's-street and Scotgate to St. Paul's -street (in cluding the intermediate streets, the Sheep-market, and Red Lion-square), were for a time nearly impassable except to those engaged in buying and selling. A cal culation was made that there were 1,500 beasts in Broad street, 800 in Scotgate, 300 in High-street, 600 in Red Lion square, All Saints'-place, and Barnhill, 100 in Ironmonger -street, 150 in the Sheep-market, &c. There was an abundance of bus ers, but they took advantage of the extraordinary supply to manifest a shyness in offer ing; the sellers, however, generally refusing to give way, sales at length became pretty brisk, and some thousands changed hands at prices a trifle below those obtained at recent fairs.—Stamford Mercurty. THE EDINBURGH CHARTIST TRIALS.—On Tuesday the trials of the Edinburgh Chartists commenced before the High Court of Justiciary in Edinburgh. The Judges on the bench were the Lord Justice Clerk, Lord Med wyn, and Lord Mackenzie. The case having been opened, an objection was raised, which has been deemed of such importance as to be laid before the whole bench of Judges, who were to assemble on Thursday to hear the pleadings, and decide upon them. The general im-. port of the objection is, that while the major proposition of the indictment charges the prisoner Cumming with contravention of the Government Security Bill, sedi tion, and conspiracy, the facts set forth in the minor pioposition amount to the crime of high treason. The libel, or indictment, having been read, the case was ad journed for the purpose of arguing the objection stated above. INQUEST ON THE BODY OF MR. DEAN, THE INVENTOR OF THE DIVING APPARATUS—This inge nious mechanician was formerly a caulker, but devoted his time exclusively of late years to the invention of the diving apparatus and other things, for which patents were obtained. Intense application to his pursuit, it is supposed, impaired his intellects, and he was accordingly confined for some time in the lunatic asylurn at Peck ham. He committed suicide on Tuesday morning last, by cutting his throat with a razor. The jury, after a careful inquiry, returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity.", ROBBERIES ON LORD MAYOR'S DAY.--NUMerOUS robberies were committed yesterday amongst the crowds of persons assembled in the streets to witness the pro cession. Purses, pocket-books, and watches rapidly changed owners. No less than thirty charges of pocket picking were entered at the station in Fleet-street in th e course of the day, an d many other similar robb r. were no doubt comm i tte d , but, from the dexterity ofe lees thieves, the vigilance of the police was baffled. ST. MART'S NEWINGTON.—In consequence of the apprehensions entertained of the spread of cholera in the close and crowded streets of St. Mary's Newington, a special meeting of the governors and guardians of the poor was held at the workhouse on Tuesday evening, with the view of determining the measures to be adopted to insure immediate and efficient medical attendance upon any of the poorer classes when attacked by the epidemic. After some discns'sion, it was determined to elect ten medical officers in addition to those already appointed, one for each particular locality, but each gentleman being required to act in any part of the parish should it become necessary. The fee was fixed at 10s. 6d. each. case. The following gentlemen were accordingly ap pointed :—Mr. Boddy, 12, Saville-row, Walworth ; Mr. Marshall, 9, Marlborough-place; Mr. Nolan, 11, Church row, Newington; Mr. Hicks, 4, High-street; Mr. Mason, High- street ; Mr. Ho witt, 5, Apollo-buildings, Walworth; Mr. Darville, Dean's-row, Walworth ; Mr. Crisp, Char lotte-row ; Mr. Townsend, Newiegton-causeway ,• Mr. Lewis, , Brighton-place, New Kent-road ; R at h_ bone, Webb's County-terrace ; and Mr. Hawkins, Great Dover-street. HORNCASTLE.—An awfully sudden death occurred here on Friday last. About eight o'clock in the evening, Mrs. Houlden, aged 63, widow of Mr. Houlden, of Revesby, conversed as ch eer f u ll y as usual with one of her neighbours, and on wi s hi ng h er good n i ght, repaired into hee own house, fastening the outer door. As she lived alone, and was not stirring so soon as usual the fol lowing morning, one of the neighbours got assistance and entered the house, where Mrs. Houlden was found quite dead, sitting on a chair in her kitchen. It seems that she was seized with death as soon as she entered her house the preceding night, as no preparation had been made for retiring to bed, which was, usual with her about nine o'clock.— Verdict of the coroner's inquest, " Visi tation of God."—Stamford Mercury. DIINEAR.—On Sunday last, in consequence of the insufficiency of the railway fence, several fine sheep escaped from that portion of it which runs through the farm occupied by Mr. Archibald Lawson, West Barns, and, although seen lying on the line by the engineer, such was the velocity at which the train was going at the time, that no efforts of his could avert their destruc tion, and seven of them were crushed to pieces. L uc kil y no accident occurred to the train , which arrived in safety at the Dunbar station.—Caledonian Mercury.
