THIS DAY'S NEWS LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) 7. 7 6 birz; .rty BANKRUPTCY COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN BE W. BROWN. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Cloc k. This was a meeting for adjourned last examination. The bankrupt was described as of Great Russell•street, linendraper. The balance-sheet commenced Oct., 1850, and ended Dec., 1854, and shows debtor to creditors, 2,841/. ; legacy from Miss Drew, 1,2251. ; cash received from pawnbroker, holding security, 1,032/. ; creditors, by good debts, 11. ; property, 1771. ; ditto in hands of creditors, pledged for 1,0321., cost 1,548/.; trade ex penses, 5461. ; repairs to premises, 461. ; losses, 1,859/. ; house and personal expenses, 471/. ; deficiency at com mencement, 4411. The following memorandum was appended to the balance•sheet :—The property in the hands of several pawnbrokers was pledged by my brother, unknown to me at the time. The tickets were destroyed, but I presume that it will realise 3621. for the benefit of my estate (less interest and ex penses). Among the articles pawned were 1,387 pieces of silk handkerchiefs. The examination of the bankrupt was adjourned at the former hearing sine die, with protection for one month on account of the unsatisfactory nature of the accounts. Since that the bankrupt had been prison. The amended accounts had since been filed, but were not considered satisfactory. It having been explained that the bankrupt's brother who pledged the property had since died, and that the pawnbrokers were willing t,► put the assignees in the same position as if the tickets were in existence. His Honour said, he thou4ht the bankrup', bad made the best statement he could, and as be had been three months in prison, and there was an estate of 3631. 3s. 9d. he should allow him to pass. The bankrupt accordingly passed his examination. CITY SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before R. Gurney, Esq., Q.C.) KATE MYERS V. DAVID LAZARITS—LOVE AND JEAL OUSY.—This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a Jewess under age, by her "next friend," David Sulomons, to recover 17s. from the defendant for wilfully destroying a brooch containing a photographic portrait of her in tended husband. His Honour— Who is David So:omons who sues for you as your " next friend !" Plaintiff —My sister's intended. (Laughter.) The defendant she said resided next door to her (plaintiff), and wished to pay his addresses to her, but she declined his attentions, informing him she was already engaged. His Honour—l should think he must be your next friend. (Laughter.) Plaintiff—About five weeks ago last Sunday defen dant came in to her house just she was about to dress herself, and went to the fireplace, where, seeing the brooch lying on the mantle shelf he took it up, saying "Then, this is he," put it under his foot and crushed it to atoms ; giving her to understand that that was the way he should like to serve the happy and favoured reality who had supplanted him in the affections of the blooming Bate. The defendant did not appear. Hie Honour gave judgment for the amount claimed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TBIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. John Collins, the man remanded, charged with ob obtaining 6d. by false pretences from Mrs. Perkins, of Leicester, was again placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Wire. The prisoner, it will be recollected, is one of those men who prowl about the neighbourhood of the Bank victimising strangers, especially females, who alight with luggage from the various omnibuses plying in the neighbourhood. The prosecutrix not being present the prisoner was further remanded tili to-morrow to procure her attend aloe. G UILDHALL. ROBBING AN EMPLOYER.—Mary Ann Phillips, a young girl, was charged before Sir J. Duke with robbing her master, Mr. Michael Kelley. The prosecutor's wife deposed that her husband kept the Lion-in -th e- Wood public• house, in Wilderness-lane, Salisbury-square, and that the prisoner had been in their service as servant of all work about 6 weeks. She had missed two brooches, a table•cloth, flowers, &c., since she had been with them. Yesterday some of the articles were brought back to her, having been given up to her aunt and mother-in-law, who were not present t• give evidence. The prisoner was remanded on her own recognisance' to appear again to-morrow. BOW-STREET. STEALING LETTERS.—A respectably-attired young man, named George Bailey, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a letter containing money, which had come into his possession in the capacity of assistant to Mr. Bridger, of the Bisbopegate-street Within post-office. _ _ . Mr. Scultborpe, deputy comptroller of the circulation department, stated that. there was a post-office at No. 49, Bishopsgate-street Within, kept by Mr. Bridger, at which numerous applications have been made, with re spect to the loss of letters containing money. In accordance with the authority of the Post-Mas ter General he tested the honesty of the per sons engaged there, and he made up a letter yester day at half-past twelve, in which he enclosed a half sovereign, a sixpence, four penny postage stamps, and a postage medallion envelope, all of which he had previ ously marked in the presence of Cole. Having closed the envelope he addressed it " Miss Thompson, Castle hill, Hastings," and having placed two stamps upon the letter, he gave it to Cole to post. If the directions had been complied with, the letter would have reached the G.P.0., St, Martin's-le-Grand, at half-past one, with the one o'clock collection of the Bishopsgate district. He was in the office when the collection arrived, but the letter he had made up was not to be found. He then, ac companied by Cole and apoliceman, went to the Bishops. gate-street office, where he saw Mr. Bridger and the prisoner Bailey. On questioning Bailey about a money letter addressed to Hastings, he said he had stopped one of that address. He then directed Peake to search him, and a pocket-book was found in which the letter was discovered, but it contained neither the money nor stamps. The marked money was found on the prisoner by Smee. On being charged with stealing the letter, he said he bad only stopped it ; and on being asked if he had ever "stopped" any other letters, he replied yes, and one of the letters he had stopped contained a pencil case, which he had up-stairs, ,but he did not know what had become of the letter. Cole then gave evidence of the posting of the letter, as directed by Mr. Sculthorpe, at the post-office kept by Mr. Bridger at 49, Bishopsgate•street•within. Other evidence having been given, The magistrate fully committed him for trial. STATISTICS OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES. (Fromm the Homing Herald of this day.) Mr. Foublanque has favoured us with a " blue book" from the Board of Trade, dated " August, 1855," unde r th e titl e of " Statistical Tabl es Rela tive to Foreign Countries ;" Part 11. And, as but few people take the trouble to turn over these volumes of figures, it seems to be a part of our duty,. wh enever any va l uab l e i n f orma t ion is hidden in any of th ese pon d erous tomes, to render it avail able to the general reader. Nowiu the present volume we observe two classes of facts, both o f w hi c h deserve at least a pass i ng notice. The one has a commercial bearing—the other, a religious one. We will notice each in its turn. L In this volume there is furnished to us an extensive view of the working of the Zollverein, or German Union ; and we have an opportunity of observing how far the promise or prediction of 1846 has been realised—that if we would act liberally towards the continental powers, they would soon act liberally towards us—that if we would open our ports to their corn, they w ou ld soon be found willing to open their ports to our cottons and woollens. We are now in the tenth year since that predic tion was made the basis of British legislation ; and I we have before us the proof in these tables, issued by Mr. Fonblanque ' that in the seventh year after lye had acted on that prediction there was not even a glimmering of a hope in this quarter of any reci procation of our foolish liberality. The population of the countries included in the German Union, be it remembered, may be stated in round numbers at 30,000,000. Now such are the duties retained by the Zollverein, that in the year 1853 the amount of manufactured goods imported into the territories of that union for these thirty millions of people may be gathered from these few items. A thaler is about 31. of English money. The value of the imports under the following heads is given in thalers Real value. Cotton manufactures 1,486,260 thalers. Glass Linen manufactures Silk manufactures 4,436,400 21 , Woollen manufactures 11,056,760 Or, about 1,685,0001. Thus the thirty millions use of manufactured goods from England or France to the value of about one shilling per head I The main fact, however, to be observed is this— that there is no sign of the slightest intention on the part of the Germans of giving up their pro tective duties merely because we have foolishly chosen to give up ours. 11. The other point on which these tables seem to give a little fresh evidence is that which was brought before the public by Mr. Hobart Seryinour, in his view of the comparative morality of Roman Catholic and Protestant countries. The Remanists build convents, and fill them with young women, in order to insure their purity. For those who are allowed to live in society they prescribe the confessional, in order that both married and single females may have a coustant watch kept over them, and may by these safeguards be kept chaste, or recalled when straying. What is the result ? Mr. Hobart Seymour gave us several startling facts in elucidation of this question ; and now Mr. Fonblanque furnishes us with two or three further ones. He gives us the population, the religious persua sions, and the births of Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover, and Wurtemburg. The first of those German states is predominantly Romish ; the other three are pre dominantly Protestant. Now, what is the differ ence, if there be any, between these four states, in point of morality 7 Let us see. The population of the three states vrhich have chiefly Protestant inhabitants is thus given— Saxony 1,937,832 Hanover 1,819,253 Wurteniburg 1,802,252 5,609,337 And the births, legitimate and illegitimate, in the last year given, are these : Legit. Illegit. Saxony 68,914 Hanover Wurtemburg SHARE MARKETS. (THIS DAY.)

The occurrences which have lately widened the breach between the courts of Tuscany and Pied mont are thus stated in the letter of a Turin cor respondent : TURIN, SEPT. 7.—Count Antonia Casati was attache of the Sardinian legation at Constantinople. In the month of July last he was appointed to fill the post of the same rank at Florence. But before he proceeded there the usual announcement was made to the Grand Ducal Government. The cabinet of Florence replied, that it had no objection, and that it accepted the nomi nation in question. At the end of July, Count Casati repaired to Florence, but shortly after his arrival the Duke of Casigliano, the Grand Duke's Minister of Foreign Affairs, demanded from the head of the Sardinian legation, the Marquis Sauli, the recall of the young attache. He based the demand in question on the fact that M. Casati was the son of the former chief of the Provisional Government of Lombardy, that as such he could not be received at court, nor would ho be invited to the parties or balls given at the Pitti Palace. The Marquis Sauli replied that these remarks were somewhat late, and that, as they had not been made opportunely, be could not consent to the recall demanded. He added that M. Casati was only 18 years old when the revolution broke out in Lombardy, and that he could not on any pretext be placed in the same position as his father ; that M. Casati being a Sardinian subject, and in the service of the King, and having, moreover, been already accepted as attache by the Tus can Government, he ought to enjoy all the rights and pri vileges secured to the members of all foreign legislation. M. de Casigliano, however, insisted on his demand, and then the Marquis Sauli requested him to be so good as to write a note to him on the subject. It was after the reception of this note that the King's Government sent orders to the Marquis Sauli to quit Florence with all the members of the legation. The Marquis has by this time already embarked at Leghorn, and he may arrive here at any moment, where he is expected. It appears that the Count of Montessuy, the French Minister of Florence, took steps with a view to settle this diplomatic nndel standing in an amicable manner, but the Tuscan Government had made up its mind, and not choosing to withdraw its demand, the Sardinian Govern ment was compelled, on its side, to persist in the deter mination it had taken. Tuscany has hitherto been the only State in Italy in which a minister of the King of Sardinia has resided with a complete staff, as at Rome and Naples there are only ojaargds d'hfigroo.

DUBLIN, Wednesday Morning.—The condition and prospects of the crops throughout a district embracing the counties of Louth, Cavan, Monaghan, Armagh, Tyrone, and Derry are thus described in a communication from Mr. John Lamb, the intel ligent and impartial correspondent of the Northern Whig : " Wherever I went the harvest labour was progress. ing most favourably, but the grain seemed to be ripening faster than usual ; in fact, it was wLat is termed 'a hot harvest,' and there seemed to be quite a want of hands to cut it. There is an unusual number of women and girls to be seen in the harvest field this year. The dearth of hands in the south and west is much greater than in the linen districts. The oat crop is much better in the west, which I visited some weeks ago, than those eastern counties that I have just been through. This year Connaught will beat Ulster in oats, very decidedly. On the whole, the oat crop will not be an average o*e—nothing like the produce of last year, so far as the north is concerned. All the farmers I have conversed with tell me their crop of wheat is good, and some say theirs is most excellent, both as to quantity arid e i vality—one, in particular, whom I stopped to converse with, midway between Banbridge and Newry. He said it was the best crop of wheat he had gathered in for the last seven years. From all I could learn I believe the wheat is very little in jured by the heavy rains. The barley is a good deal the worse for it. A great shower of hail which fell some two or three weeks ago did serious damage to the crops in the county Cavan, particularly about Belturbet the people said it was more like a shower of broken ice than ordinary hailstones. It passed from west to east, and extended about half a mile wide. The potato dis ease is nearly universal ; but, so far, it is very super ficial—confined mostly to the leaves. We are, I think, likely to have a large and good crop. Even if one fourth should be diseased we could spare them, and have a most abundant crop after all. The turnips and green craps generally ere very , much better than last year. Some farmers complain greatly of bad flax seed this season ; but where the seed was good and the ground in proper condition the crop is generally good ; yet there will be a considerable portion of inferior flax—so the scutchers report." THE CUDHAIif TRAGEDY. BROMLEY, Wednesday Evening.—A. few days since it was reported that the man Clarke, a tramp, who was formerly a private in the Guards, had been arrested at Havant, near Portsmouth, by the Hampshire police, on suspicion of his being concerned in the diabolical murder at Cudham. After Superintendent Harvey, of the Hampshire police, had communicated on the subject of the man's arrest with inspector Baxter, he proceeded with his prisoner to the scene of the murder, and, in accordance with preconcerted arrangements, Clarke has undergone a strict examination before J. J. Wells, Esq , county magistrate, before whom the charge against Pal ing is pendin g . The result of Clarke's examination, as was surmised, has been the accused's full acquittal from so serious a charge as being the principal, or even a par ticipator, in the appalling crime which has for the last few days alarmed and horrified the county. The accused was brought up before J. J. Wells, Esq., at the magis trate's clerk's office, when Mr. Latter, he chief clerk, elicited from Clarke, who has, in fact, declared his entire innocence throughout since his arrest, that on the day of the murder, the 25th ult., he was at a brick field at Peckham, inquiring for work. Thereupon as such a statement if proved correct, would be clear and sufficient evidence of the man's entire innocence, the prisoner was requested to accompany Superintendent Handley and Inspector Baxter to the brickfield, and prove his statement correct. Accordingly, the prisoner was accompanied by the superintendent and inspector to Peckham, and proceeding to the brick-field men tioned he was there identified by several persons em ployed about the field as the man who asked for em ployment there on the 25th ult. It further appeared he was in the field about half-past seven in the morning, thereby putting it quite out of the question that he had a hand in the dreadful affair, which must have taken place about that period. Clarke was conveyed back to Bromley still in custody, but the worthy magistrate im mediately ordered his release, observing, not the slight est acc)isation could be hinted against the man as being concerned in the dreadful crime. In fact, no direct sus picion ever rested against Clarke, and facts have si nce come to light which will establish the dreadful crime against the really guilty. MARKET NEWS.----(THIS DAY.)

THE CABUL DIBABTEB. - With reference to a rumour whica some months ago prevailed in this country, and found its way to India, whence it has been again re vived, we are requested to state that since the return of our army fr om Cabul no intimation has reached the Go- vernment of India of the detention of any officer of the late Cabot force ija Centrgl 183,791 27,239 A similar return, for the kingdom of Bavaria, where three-fourths of the people are Roman Catholics, is as follows : Bavaria . Population. 4,560,653 Legit. lllegit, B:rths In the Protestant states, the proportion of ille gitimate births to legitimate ones is a little more than one in eight : in the Roman Catholic it is more thln one in five. And as there are many Protestants in Bavaria who raise the standard of morality, and many Romanists in Hanover, Wurtemburg, &c., who lower the general tone of morality, we cannot doubt that a purely Protestant state, weighed against a purely Romish one, both situated in Germany, would be found to have less than halt the proportion of vice which exists iu the region of the confessional and the conventual system. SEWAGE OF TOWNS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Srr,—l was pleased by reading your remarks upon the sewage matter of towns in The Si u of Tuesday last. _ _ _ That this matter would form a highly valuable manure there can be no doubt; although, from many causes, it is far from easy to say which is the best method of rendering it available for such a purpose. fhaye devoted much time to the sewage ques tion, and, as a general principle, feel compelled to decide in favour of intercepting sewers. The plan adopted at Paris is open to many seri ous objections. Iu the first place, it would be dif ficult, if not impossible, to construct utensils adapted to all classes of houses. Secondly, I fear the daily use of such utensils in large cities would prove an intolerable nuisance, especially during hot weather. With a view, however, towards effecting a par tial adoption of the Parisian plan, I beg to suggest that, in many cases, portable latrines, somewhat similar to those about to be tried at Aldershott, might answer the purpose. If with these peat charcoal were used, a large portion of the offensive effluvia would be deodorised, and a portable con densed manure obtained, which would be of great value. _ _ _ _ As one fact is worth a dozen theories, I would mention that Mr. Cuthill, the florist, of Camber well, succeeded iu completely deodorising the con tents of a cesspool by peat charcoal, and the manure resulting from the experiment proved very effica cious. bet me call the attention of railway directors to the formation of portable latrines and the use cf peat charcoal at the various stations, from which I am sanguine a large profit would be derived. I am, Sir, yours obediently, THOS. J. PRING, Architect. Wellington-road, Camberwell, Sept. 12. THE TRUCK SYSTEM. At the Stonehenge County Court, on Tuesday, the judge, W. Mackworth Praed, Esq., in the case of James Burke v. Thomas C u tt s , gave a jugment adverse to the paying of wages on the truck system. Mr. Bundle appeared for the defendant. The p'aintiff is a navvy, and had been working for a short time on the excavations at the Morice Town and Devonport Tunnel. Defendant is a contractor. Plaintiff stated that he asked a gauger on the works for employment. The gauger told him a certain day on which he could begin. There was no statement of terms. He received a ticket the first day he worked, and with the ticket he procured some necessaries at the shops at Morice Town. He understood from the men that the people were paid once a fortnight. He had several tickets, and got provisions by means of them. He had worked eight or nine days, when the defendant brought a paper to him to sign. Defendant stated it was the ar rangement which was signed by all the other men, and it referred to the payment by tickets. He refused to sign it, and was told to leave the work. The time keeper made up the account, and handed over to him 9s. 2id., and plaintiff was told that he had had tickets to the amount of the remainder of the wages due to him, 14s. 9d. Plaintiff refused to be satisfied with this ac , count, and brought an action to recover the 14s. 9d. The plea put in by defendant was the general issue, and that payment had been made. His Honour held that " payment" meant payment in cash, and that evidently had not been made, therefore m the plea could not be sustained. Mr. Bundle wished to amend the p lea, as the plaintiff bad received full value for the mone y . Isis h a e li c o o w uld ti n ' o e t c p o le ilte t n o an b c e e o b n e o c u a r u e, declined he stated, amended, the system of paying wages in bacon, candles, beer, &c. • for he did not believe it would ever conduce to provi dent habits amongst the labouring classes. Mr. Bundle elicited from the plaintiff that be knew he had received quantities of goods, but he wanfed his money as well. He was ready to pay the trades men f or what he had bad , provided they would produce th e tickets Honour he had said the giventhe them. His parties bad b e tt er arrange that amongst themselves. He gave judgment for plaintiff.

The Crimean, Enterprise. By Captain Gleig. Blackwood and Sons. A noticeable work by an untried soldier, who has proved himself a good proph e t, and appears to be possessed of no mean skill, in which the asser tions that the course of events in the Crimea were foreseen by no one, and that if any one prognosti cated disaster no one was cap a bl e of projecting a better plan of o p er ations than that carried out by the Allied Generals, are to our thinking summarily disposed of. The author adduces a number of let ters written by him to the Morning Herald, and a plan of campaign, which show that within two days of the intelligence reaching this country of the Allies having sat down on the south side of Sebas topol ho recorded his reasons for believing that, if a coup de main had failed, the fortress would hold out till the relieving army was disposed of; that after the retreat of the army of Prince Menschikoff from the Alma he pointed out the nature of the enemy's strategetical plan ; that he gave warning of the battle of Inkerman, and of the exact nature of the Russian tactics on that critical day ; that having predicted the action of Balaklava, should the strategetical operation which presaged it—viz., the occupation of the south ern range of mountains, with their few and defen sible defiles —be acted upon by th e Russians, he counselled the seizure of these defiles by the allies, having among other things an eye to the army wintering in the Crimea; and that early in December last, on learning that the Alli e d generals had be e n outwitted, he submitted a plan. to an emi nen t s t a t esman, indicating a pretty accu rate comprehension of their position and the ne cessity, in hi s op i n i on, for a c h ange of their basis of operations. This new basis, he argues, should be the peninsula of Kertch—the Russian reinforce. ments coming from Kertch and Perekop, and then, Kaffa and Arabat being taken, the enemy would bo cut off from t wo sources of supplies, and the Allies would have the best of all bases—a flank one, in which case the conquest of the Crimea, and the consequent fall of Seba s t opo l , might be insured— the general operating by a d ou bl e i nter i or line, and. as roughly sketched in a diagram aceompanying the work, shutting up the enemy to his left in a hostile mountain country where they could not subsist, and marching concentrically, driving them to Perekop, where, if the place be held, they would either be destroyed, or forced to Lay down their arms—meanwhile the south-eastern range of hills and Sebastopol being blockaded, the enemy outside and within the fortress would starve. Such is the nature of the plan recommended by Capt. Gleig in December last, for further particulars respecting which, we must refer the reader to the work itself, at the same time leaving him, as matte's are at present, to form his own opinion of its merits. Female Life among the Mormons. G. Routledge and C's. A strange and startling narrative, of many years persunal experience, we are told, by the wife of a Mormon Elder, though not herself a Mormon. Having left home—somewhere on the borders of the Skaneateles Lake, iu the State of New York, under peculiar circumstances, the author, it would appear, was entrapped into a marriage with a Mormon Elder during her journey to Utica, in the same State, introduced into the society of the principal Mormons, including that vulgar and audacious impostor, Joe Smith—taken to the Mor mon settlement in Illinois, and from thence, on the death of Smith, to the Great Salt Lake, from the city erected on whose shores, after many years' ex perience of Mormonism, and in imminent peril of her life, she succeeded in making her escape alone —finally reaching her friends, and, after some delay, writing and issuing to the world the pre sent book. Of the revelations thus recorded, we must say, that if one half of the impostures and atrocities charged against the leaders of Mormonism be true, and independent testimony confirms much more than that, and if female life in Utah at all resemble the description, as considering the obvious tendencies of polygamy among such a class of men, possessed of temporal as well as spiritual authority, it cannot fail to do, a city of such villanous impos tors and wretched dupes, one in which tyranny and licentiousness are so rampant, and female vir tue and weakness so helpless and depressed, never blotted the face of the earth. The reader is intro duced to a number of life-like characters skilfully portrayed, including- Joe Smith and his sancti monious and ambitious successor, the most origi nal, however, being a Mrs. Rradish, quite a Semi ramis in her way. Many of the scenes and inci dents—as the pretended bringing to life of a girl, by Smith, through whose mesmeric powers she had been thrown into a state of catalepsy—Mrs. Bradisli's feats of daring, and some of the adven tures described in the journey to Utah—are quite thrilling, while from first to last the interest of the narrative is maintained, and the alleged object of the writer kept in view —viz., an exposure of the enormities of the Mormon system, and the crimes and impostures of its leading members, in order to deter others from being victimised. The book, in conclusion, is deserving of a wide circulation, and it is to be hoped that it will not he without effect among those who are exposed to the wiles of Mor mon agents in this country. The English Cyclopedia.. Conducted by Charles Mini tit. Bradbury and Evans. The thirtieth part—natural history and geogra phy—of this truly valuable, we may add national, work. The present instalment opens with Silesia, and terminates with Scincida, and is profusely illustrated with wood engravings. Judging from what has already appeared, there is every prospect of the _English Cyclopcedia being, when completed, the cheapest and most avail.tble repository of use ful knowledge extant. Much care is evidently taken to give the amplest information in brief, down to the latest period, and with the utmost accuracy, as we have found on investigation in several instances. The part contains a useful arti cle on Spain. The Lancet of Saturday contains a noticeable communication -from Dr. Barnes, which patholo gists and sanitary reformers will peruse with inte rest, and one or two articles of more or less general moment. Dr. Barnes forcibly urges the necessity of investigation into the general causes of diseases in order to their prevention ; and this he conceives may best be done by the observation of epidemic influences and prevalent diseases, the slighter forms of disease in innumerable instances sow ing the seeds of, or preparing the way for, the more serious maladies and epidemics, themselves varying in character. This obser vation, he shows, cannot be effected by the perusal of the Registrar-General's returns, which, useful as they are, relate only to the fatal cases, the sort cf thing required being of a similar nature to the register he him.elf supplies of the cases of disease observed at the London and metro politan free hospitals during the last month. From these it would appear that "the great character of the epidemic (viz., diarrhoea of August)" was not in auy specific poison in the atmosphere, but in the alternations of heat and cold, dryness and moisture, and that there was this striking peculiarity about it, viz., a disposition to attack all, the mucous mem branes. The history of the cases adduced "com pletely," in his opinion, " subverts the common pre judice that the diarrhea is caused by eating fruit and vegetables." "An irritating diet," he remarks, " may affect the intestinal canal, but it cannot account for the pulmonary, renal, and rhattna tismal symptoms." The articles previously alluded to relate to the Sunday question and the case of Mr. Batewell—the propriety of opening the Crystal Palace and the British Museum being a bl y urged gentleman in the other. in the one, and the arbitrary treatment of th e above named can of be the removedchur church ens d a e n Mr. Maurice, Mr. Do naldson, Archdeacon D enison, the only cour-e • wh ich costs 3000/. Record. F ATAL ACCIDENT ON TUE SOUTH-WE STERN RAIL aII remain memb b e y rs w a b nicdh they minist ers WAY.—Yesterday, Mr. W. Carter, coroner for East Surrey, held an in q uest at the South ampton Arms, Nine El ms , on the body of Edmund Clifford, age d n i ne years who was killed under th e following c i rcumstances : On Saturday la s t the d eceased, who was playing with a nu mber of other boys, was pu s hi ng some trucks which were standing on a small line of rails in front of the old station, when he was caught between the buffers, and killed instantaneously. In answer to one of the jury, Mr. Godstone, who attended on behalf of the company, said that to enclose the line which was in front of the station facing the roadway would be to do away with its use altogether, as it was for unloading fish and other articles, which it was absolutely necessary to deliver at once. The line was laid down on the private property of the company, and he thought it would be too much to ask them be take it up. Several of the jury having sug. Bested various means to keep children from the trucks, a verdict of " Accidental death" was returned. FRIGHTFULACCIDENT.- -Yesterd ay Mr. Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital respecting the death of Wm.
