The deficiency o' Hotel accomm sdation in India, China, and other places in the East to which Eu' opeans now resort in large and annually increasing numbers, is a subject ot general compl int ; and it is evident that the development or the means of transi by ocean and river steamers, and by railways, which has been in rapid progress now for some years, must imperfectly fulfil all i - s important objects, so far as European interc ,urse with the East is cone riled, until this want is adequately supplied. In England, and on the ntinent of Europe, it is now an asce tattled fact that the joint-stock system may most suc cessfully be appLed to the establishment of Hotels of the first class. If this be so where good private Hotels before existed in large numbers, there seems no reason to doubr that an equal degree of commercial success is attainable by the application of cap tat, upon the samo system. to the same object, in countries where, though the demand is great and increasing, it may almost be said that good private Hotels do not exist. In Calcutta a joint-stock company has lately purehased and undertaken the management of an 'Tote', and the pro spects of the enter rise, as a commercial speculation, may be inte red from the very high prem urn at which their shares are quoted in the Calcutta market, see "Times" Ju y 17, the " Englishman's Weekly Mail" of June 8,1861, and "Allen's Indian Mail," viz., £zs paid, present value, .£42i ex div., equal to 70 per cent. premt.rn, and the payment of a dividend of 10 per cent. for the hell-year ending 50th April last, equal to 20 per cent. per annum. Bombay offers a wide field for the establishment of an Hotel ot a firs class character. The early completion of vast lines of railway converging in the island of Bombay. and the more frequent steam communica tion between that pert and Europe which will s oon tak place, must very much increase the demand for such aec.om modation. Tie same may be sand of Madras. It is under these circumstances that the Oriental Hotels Company Limited) is established, in the confi ent belief that the application of European capital to India in this form will not be less profitable than useful. It is proposed, in thefirst instance. to supply the uegent requirements of B rnbav and Point de Galle. There are equally important places which wilt naturally engage the early attent on of the Company, such for example as Meras, Singapore, and Kurrachee ; not to speak of many very important rail Nay stations In the in ferior of India, where there are now no Hotels at all, and 'where, at a comparatively small outlay, there is a large field for profitab e operations. The larger class of the Company's Hotels will afford all the conveniences of the best European Hotels, relapted to the climate, and to she h.bits of those for whom they are in tended; whilst, in even the smallest class, the health and comfort of the inmates will be carefully studied. It is intended t o collet tute local committees of management in . ach Presidency where Hotels may be established. In the event of two-thirds of the first Lome of shares not being - subscribed for, no allotmen- will take place, and the deposits will be returned to the subsc*Plb rs, without deduc tion. It is proposed to pay to shareholders 5 per cent, interest upon the capital as paid up, until the first dividend is de clared. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be had on application to the Bankers, the Brower, or the Secre tary. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To be retained by the Bankers.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is aecom panted by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.

Mr. Jones, for the prisoner, urged that the conduct of his client throughout was quite reconcileable with the state ments made by the unhappy man at the d,.ck - when taken into custody—viz., that he was under the impression that the two men in the carriage inteaed to rob him, and that his acts were in self-defence. After the usual caution the bench committed the prisoner for trial, the defence being reservoti.

The Murderous Assault in a Railway Carriage. Yesterday morning, at aarnasl adapsponenkdeni a a ionf l nedsessionsbroughtheldwounding ie Viet., e N a e p w . port nm l s , a33l ll un l iidt i enc h rhg a Michael James Lyonsahen: dawrerthe Peter g t r Lo ,faagr Friday, d i charged n tahr te: carriage on the London and North-Western Railway, under the 11th section of the 24th and 25th n 100, It will be remembered that the prisoner was charged on ' the last occasion. under the 20th section of the act with Pwbw 1 in tent between et eaeae July, 1863. having unlawfully and maliciously inflicted grievous bodily harm, the punishment under which was, as e misdemeanour, three years' penal servitude. On mature consideration Mr. Powell, the clerk to the magistrates, considered it advisable to alter the charge to that made in the 11th section, which made the offence committed a felony, and the penalty penal servitude for ten years. The magistrates present were Mr. J, C. Maule (chair man), the Rev. J. Tarver, the Rev. C. S. Lowndes, and Mr. R. W. Selby Lowndes. Mr. Charles J. Rawlings, solicitor, attended on behalf of Messrs. M‘Lean and Worland; M r. Jones appeared, as on the former occasion, for the prisoner, who was brought up as before by Mr. Superintendent Thomas Breary, from Fenny Stratford, where he has been since the remand on Wednesday week. Mr. Rawlings said he appeared before the b nch to pro secute the charge against the prisoner in thedock, instructed by Mr. Peter M'Lean and Mr. James Worland. as it was understood that the railway authorities did not intend to in terfere in any way or take any steps whatever in the matter, holding it as not being an affair in which the company was concerned. ._ . Mr. Jones then sought to induce the m. gistrates to accept bail, but, Mr. Rawlings opposing, the Chairman said tie bench would not interfere, but leaves Mr. Jones•to apply to a judge, Mr. Peter INl‘Lea.n, examined by Mr. Rawlings, said—l keep the Victo,:a Tavern, West Ham, Essex, and am also an engineer. I have known Mr. Worland about ten years. After having visited with him Halifax, Manchester, and Liverpool, we were returning from the last-mentioned place on the 17th inst. by the 3.45 p.m. train for London. After passing B!etchley Mr. Worland pulled out his pocket book to settle the pay ments made by me, as I had been cashifr. He gave me £2 ss. out of between £25 and £3O in gold he had. Almost immediately afterwards we both got up, and I made a step towards the end of the carriage where the pri soner was then sitting. He rose up exclaiming, " Advance further and I'll murder you," at the samemoment brandish ing a knife, and making a plunge at me with his left hand. He missed me, but immediately afterwards stabbed Mr. Worland on the forehead. I think I had hold of the pri soner when he made the plunge at Mr. Worland. (The knife was produced by Orpen, the railway policeman. It was an ordinary double-bladed pocket-knife, the large blade of which was the one with which the injuries were inflicted.) I had hold of the prisoner by the arm, but he kept " job bing" at Mr. Worland, as I could only lay hold of his sleeve, and he had almost the free use of his wris , . As the prisoner was making the attempt to stab me first, I said— " Good God, m'.n, what are you going to do with the knife ?" While I bad hold of the knife the prisoner cut my right hand very severely. We got him down on the floor of the carriage. Mr. Worland was too faint to give me much assistance ; but he said, " I shall sink under this. You stick to him, Mac." After struggling for nearly half an hour, we got him on the floor, and I held him till we got to Camden• road station, where Orpen, the railway police man, took the knife from him. While were were struggling he shouted out several times " Jesus will fight for me," "Murder," "Help," and we all shouted and screamed in the hope of attracting attention, but without avail. The prisoner was removed, and the knife taken from him. The floor of the carriage and the back"of the compartment were covered with blood. There was more than enough blood to fill a hat. Mr. Worland fainted from exhaustion, and was taken to the Royal George Hotel, Euston-square. I have since been attended by Dr. Bain. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Jones, who put numerous questions, with a view to show that the conduct of Mr. Worland and the witness might have led the prisoner to think that they intended to do something towards him, but Mr. M 'Lean, with some vehemence, said, after replying in the negative to many interrogatories, '' Pray, sir, do not agitate me further with such utter nonsense," and the Bench interposing, the cross-examination stopped. Mr. Jas. Worland, examined by Mr. Rawlings, confirmed the evidence of Mr. M'Lean, and stated in addition that after the prisoner stabbed him he (Mr.Worland) kicked the prisoner, to overcome him if possible. The witness fell on the platform, after getting out of the carriage, being weak from loss of blood. Mrs. Maria Eaton, examined by Mr. Rawlings, said that she was 78 years of age, and lived at 31, Herbert-street, Huston. She left Liverpool on the 17th inst. in the same carriage with the last two witnesses. She had a small dog with her. She saw 0-..ree gentlemen in the carriage, and after the train passed Bletchley she suddenly looked up, being aroused by a noise, and saw the three struggling violently. The prisoner Lyons had a knife in his hands. She said, "For God's sake, what's the Matter? Give me that knife." The prisoner atruck Mr. Worland on the temple, and afterwards made several attempts to stab both the others, exclaiming, as if invoking, " Jesus, Jesus 1" but what else he said she could not hear. She partially fainted, and when recovered she found they had got the prisoner down, and she bound up Mr. Worland's forehead with three handkerchiefs and her apron. She wanted to get the knife away from the prisoner, and if she had got it she would have thrown it away at once. She would have thrown herself out of the carriage to escape. John Orpen, the railway company's constable, examined by Mr. Rawlings, stated that he received the prisoner into his custody, charged with attempting to murder Mr. Peter M'Lean and Mr. James Worland. The prisoner said that what he had done was in self-defence, for he thought the two gentlemen in the carriage were going to make an attack upon his life. Dr. William Bain, of Poplar deposed to the character of the wounds inflicted upon Mr. Worland, and that there was great danger for three or four days. He also attended Mr. M'Lean for the wounds on his hand, which might have been very dangerous. Inspector Cox produced the following letters, which he had received upon the subject-matter of the charge : " July 20.

The na tional sc h oo l and teacher's house of Rampark, in thi s p ar i s h , are less than two miles sdisrant from the Glebe, wh ere I have resided for the last 12 3. ears. Mr. Lyons has been the teac h e r se Ramp for for a longer period. He has been t u t or to m y children for upwards of four years, spending several e house every evening except Saturday a n d hours in my Sunday. On the Saturday afternoons he hus been teaching natural science in the chief school (the grammar school) of this district. As a popular lecturer in Dun dalk and its neighbourhood ho is well known, and has been most successful. Although struggling with diffi culties, his untiring industry and ingenuity have fur nished him with opportunities for scientific purposes, the construction of which at once prove him to be no ordinary man, and yet withal I have invariably found him most modest, u nassum i ng, and gentle. Possessed of qualities of head and heart calculated to fit him fora higher position in life than that of a national schoolmaster, he was recom mended to r a i se hi s social status by the acquisition of a degree in science,and having been assisted in a pecuniary way he left Dundalk for London on the evening of the 16th with the intention of presenting himself at an examination at Bur lington House, to be held the following week. I saw him a few hours before he left home. His strength was severely taxed by physical exertion under an unusually hot season, and he mentioned to me that ha had lost his rest at night through the strain upon his mind. If we add to this a very high nervous temperament, naturally a predisposition to mental derangemnt, which on more than one occasion had been evinced, anxiety about this examination, and an un broken sea voyage and long railway journey, it will not be difficult, I presume, to arrive at the true and s ole cause of ~~_; -~~~ TEt E ; , 411 ) N, LONDON, FRIDAY EV KIN MG, JULY 31, 1863 elinetion which Meade has shown to tread on tawh were ,eihnetel sufficiently of o thef confidencenreutt• mceianrtoi hisung toCowo hold o f el strength a ?er a s : t e ro s h betokens defen sive (crl 4e ni probably not without excus e , a lth oug h hi s f orces save position on their own soil against the repeated assaults of the Southern army.

So long as he occupies a position either on the left bank of the Rappahannock or elsewhere in the vicinity of Richmond, so long the Confederate Government will be obliged to maintain their finest army in a state of comparative idleness. But of reinforcements there is no prospect. It has been stated to be the intention of the Government at Washington to en force the conscription notwithstanding the recent riots. Whatever may be the projects of the Admi nistration, there can be no doubt that the draught will never be assented to by the Northern popula tion. The Federal Cabinet may threaten to enforce it, but they do not possess the means. Mr. Lire coin might possibly wish to convert New York into a Warsaw, but in order to do so he would be obliged to occupy it with a numerous army. New York is, however, only one of a number of cities in every one of which the inhabitants have, with more or less vehemence, announced their refusal to be dragged from their homes to fill the ranks of the Federal army. If Mr. Lincoln would enforce the eonscrip tion he must employ his armies; in carrying into effect the orders of his provost marshals. New York was pronounced by its Governorete be in a state of insurrection, but we may next expect to hear that it has been dech red by the President to be in a state of siege. We do not think, however, that a feeble attempt at establishing a military dictator ship will either strengthen the Federal Government or recruit the Federal armies. But if in Virginia military operations will in nit probability flag, there seems but little likelihood of the Northern armies being able in other parts of the Confederacy to do more than retain the positions they at present oc cupy. The necessity of providing Vicksburg and Port Hudson with strong garrisons will have the effect of withdrawing from active service no incon siderable portion of the armies which have succeeded in reducing them. It is one of the necessary inci dents of the war in which they are engaged that the. Federal Government must employ one set of armies in retaining possession of territories which another set of armies have conquered. It is true that at the present moment the navigation of the Mississippi is, comparatively speaking; uninterrupted; but still it is far from being in that condition whica the necessities of commerce imperatively demand. The Federals cannot occupy the banks of a river which flews for many hundreds of miles through an enemy's country, and their inability to secure pro tection for vessels navigating the Mississippi should teach them how hopeless it is to expect to exercise undisputed dominion throughout the length and breadth of the Southern States. If the Federal Government are really sanguine concerning the result of the war, and if they think their recent successes are of such a kind as to be fitly celebrated by a day of general thanksgiving, they would do well to cast a glance on the map of the Confederate States. Out of the many hundreds of thousands of square miles over which the Southern territories extend they might count by hundreds those in which they have re established their dominion. The Unionists of the North should never forget that, in order to succeed in re-establishing in its original integrity the Great Republic of the West, they must not only conquer the Southern population, but re duce it to perpetual submission. The siege of Charleston has been renewed, though in a different form. Even iron-clad Monitors have been obliged to succumb to fortifications which were built years before iron plated gunbcats were thought of, and all hopes of reducing the town by a naval attack seem to have been abandoned. The same tactics which the allies pursued at. Sebastopol are now about to be employed by the Federals at Charleston The harbour of Sebastopol was naturally inacces sible, and the French and English armies were obliged to depend almost exclusively on siege opera tions to effect the reductiou of the town. The recent attempt by the Federal iron-clads to force their why past the forts commanding the entrance to Charleston proved so disastrous in its results that it was not renewed, and now the North appears to place reliance solely on its armies to recover posses sion of that Southern port. It would be premature as yet to express an opinion of the probable issue; but although the operations of the attacking force have been up to ttie present tolerably successful, it is not likely that Charleston will prove to be the asy prize which the Northern generals anticipate. But supposing, like New Orleans, it should suc eumb. What then ? From the capture of the Crescent City the North, independently of the plunder of the inhabitants, derived no material advantage. The seizure of Charleston, beyond re lieving a portion of the Federal fleet from the necessity of blockading that port, would not place the Government at Washington in a superior posi tion. In fact, however we regard the successes of the North, whether past or future, it is k pally impossible to connect them with the realisation of the object for which the war is prosecuted. Assum ing that the Southern population continue averse from an amalgamation with the inhabitants of the Free States, neither the command of the Mississippi nor the capture of the principal cities in the Confe deracy will place the latter in such a position as to enable them to dictate to the former the conditions of their political existence. If the Ft deral Govern ment have now, at the close of more than two years' hard fighting, begun to conquer, they will find themselves equally obliged to retain forcible posses sion of their conquests. The latter task, bow.nrer, in the present temper of the Northern population , will be found no less difficult than the former. ceasful in the House of Commons— His position v ie made before he was a member of P,lrliarnerit, and his seat for Liverpool neither advanced nor retarded him in his career. When Mr. Littledale was asked by the Pltronage Secretary of the Treasury what his poitics were he replied that he was a special pleader. Cresswell could not have given this answer,but when he was made one of the Justices of the Queen's Bench in 1842 it was because he was a sound lawyer, and certainly not because ',ewes a member for Li verpool. He fully answered all expectations formed of him as a lawyer. He was what is called a "strong" judge. That is to say, he was not only a learned judge, but a man who v. ould have his own way. He had suf ficient confidence in himself, a sufficient contempt for his audience, and a sufficient power of saying very disagreeable truths at proper times to keep every one in awe of bim. It is a great temptation to have this power in that position, and perhaps Sir Cresswell Cresswell abused it as little as it is in human nature to do, The work by which, however, Sir Cresswell Ccesswell will be remembered—and the only work by which he will be remembered—is the creation of the Divorce Court. Sir Cresswell Cresswell was appointed to preside here in January, 1858. It was an experiment distrusted at the time by the public. and most dangerous to the reputation of the man wno should first undertake it. Sir Cresswell Cress well's confidence in himself allowed him to accept it, and, as that self-confidence was fortunately in his ease well founded, it enabled him to carry it through. To him chiefly it is owing that the Divorce Court has been a great success. He has made a code of divorce law by his decisions, and he has based it upon sound, broad principles. As a social lawgiver, Sir C. Cresswell is as great as Lord Mansfield is as a mercantile lawgiver. He has built a bridge in chaos ; and if his successor has the prudence to keep to it he may travel without any very violent falls. This building up of a new system of law must have grown to be a labour of love with Sir C. Cress well. He had long since earned his pension. He was rich in private means; he was childless, and, indeed, unmarried. It could only have been an absorbing in'erest in his work and a desire to con solidate the practice of his court which could have induced him to toil on in a drudgery which must caused him frequent disgust and continual labour. It is true that he was generally appreciated by his countrymen and countrywomen, and was doubtless conscious that he was doing his work well; but in the work itself he could have taken no pleasure. He was a hard-working, conscientious, and successful public servant, and his life has been useful. How few there are who die and of whom so much as this can be truly said ; and who is there among us of whom we could truly say much more ? (From the Lancet) At seven minutes to 7 on the evening of Wednesday the distinguished Judge of the Court of Probate and Divorce, Sir Cresswell Cresswell, suddenly expired. It is well known that he had recently met with a severe accident; but the injury which he then received, although it may have accle rated his decease by the severe shock which it undoubtedly inflected on the system, does not appear to have had any direct share in the fatal result which has unexpectedly oc ean red. When violently thrown over by the runaway horses which broke from Lord Aveland's carriage, Sir Cresswell was found, on being raised from the ground, to be suffering from fracture of the knee-pan. This was not, however, a fracture from direct violence; but when examined by the surgeon summoned—Mr. James Lane, of St. Mary's Hos pital—he found that from the nature of the fracture it was evidently one of those rare instances in which the knee-pan is rent by the sudden and violent action of the extensor muscles of the thigh, commonly in the effort to recover the balance of the body, and avoid falling. There was but little bruising—much less than might have been anticipated, and no other apparent injury. Ihe fractured part was healing favourably, and Sir Cresswell bore the confinement with great equanimity, and was in good spirits throughout. Mr. James Lane and Mr. Charles Hawkins were in continuous attendance, and everything promised a speedy recovery. Properly devised splints having been adjusted,Sir Cresswell was able, with assistance, to shift himself from the bed to a couch, and had done so in the course of Wednesday. As he was being lifted in the evening from the couch again to the bed, with the assistance of his brother, the Rev. Oswald Cresswell, he complained of feeling faint, asked for wine, and almost immdiately died. He had always considered himself a specially healthy man,and was mentioning shortly after his accident that he had never had a day's illness,and had never consulted a physician since he left the school. He had lately become somewhat suddenly corpulent, but it was never suspected, by himself or any other person, that the hand of disease had seized him so firmly though silently. The post mortem inspection was performed at 7 p.m. on Thursday by Mr. Charles Hawkins, Mr. James Lane, and Dr. Baber. The examination of the chest showed that the heart was the sole seat of disease. It was loaded with fat, the walls of the ventricular cavities were thin and weak, and the muscular fibres pale; the valves were competent. Throughout the rest of the body the organs were found in a healthy condition, although in parts much loaded with fat. On examining the knee joint some blood was found effused between the fractured surfaces of the bone , there was no inflammation, irritation, or effusion in the interior of the joint, but repair was going on satisfactorily.

Such incidents are not rare, and we cannot but think that they reflect honour on our profes sion and deserve to be widely known. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The weakness, the folly, and the credu lity of mankind are exemplified in our courts of law with a boldness which fiction dares tot emulate. A column of Divorce Court cases reveals vices which would be held Co outrage all probability if hazarded in a three-volume novel; the romance of the Ron poll case seems equally beyond the possibili y of an actual occurrence, whether we believe or disbelieve the story of the convict ; and now this cause celebre in the Bankruptcy Court, whereof Colonel Waugh is the hero, comes to tax our capacity of belief in the impudence of an adventurer, and in the blind credulity of his dupes. If a man would prey upon his fellows, audacity seems to be the only requisite for a temporary success. Colonel Waugh comes before the Bankruptcy Court, not as a public wrong doer, but as an untortunate man worthy of all com miseration. He tells us at every turn of the argu ment that he is a rough, honest old soldier, who has spent 23 years of his life in the service of his country. He is so weak in his eyes that it would be a cruel persecution to imprison him ; and he is able to get up a burst of virtuous indignation at any suggestion that he and his fellow directors in the London and Eastern Bank were not " the most honest men in the world." If he keeps up the representation long enough, and if day after day his counsel she'll be allowed to dwell upon his personal ailments and his military services, Colonel Waugh will soon get a'little public of commiserators. It is eight years since he dszzled the town with his pomps and his splendour. It is seven years since the ears of the nation were filled with the wail of the victims who were being swallowed up in the little social earthquake which destroyed so many humble families. If we could resuscitate the details of those miseries, if we could follow the fortunes of the victims, and contrast the present position of scores of men and women and children with what it might have been if Colonel Waugh had lived upon his moderate competency and had never got access to the funds of the London and Eastern Band, public opinion would still go hard against. Colonel Waugh. But time has flown by ; the victims have all been swept away; death and ruin and inso vercy have rolled over them, and they are gone do wn to the bottom of the social scale, out of sight and out of hearing. The only residuum of this great evil is the man who was the chief agent in it; and be comes before us claiming our pity, and even remonstrating against our censure. He evi dently has the same audacity in defence which he showed in his adventure, and there are fools enough in the world, although of another class, to make a party against punishing him, just as there were fools enough to believe in his story of untold million lying lying hid in the clay of Brank sea Isla nd. We laugh at the absurdity of the Monto Ch r i s t () romance, and yet we find ourselves gravely investigating the cidents of this Branksea Island reality. A retired Colonel, with an income of £4OO a-year, buys a little island upon the coast of Dersetshire. Fifteen thousand pounds was the price, and, of course, he had not the money to pay for it, but so plausible was the Colonel, or so silly were the people wish whom he came in contact, that in a short time he SA invested £30,000 in the island, and had raised about the same sum in mortgage upon it. This seems to have been the state of affairs when he in troduced himself to the managing director of the London and Eastern Bank. He went there to raise more money upon some property belonging to hie sister, and he took the occasion to launch his story of the wonderful wealth that lay hid in the clay of Branksea Island. He was too wise to talk of hidden treasures. Boxes of diamonas and chests of ingots are left now to more professional romancers ; your practical men take a bolder fight and assert that the whole soil is a treasure. Here was an " old soldier," whose possession was a deposit a clay mortgaged to double its worth, persuading a honker that this clay was a security for £70,000 and was of the value of untold millions A piece of paper purporting to be a report or valuation, showing how all this island might be made into alum, and calculating its value at about £8 per ton, was sufficient to induce the managing director to lend £50,000 upon this pre cious clay. We suppose we must believe that this statement is correct. There is no proof that this was a conspiracy between Stephen and Waugh from the first, and tnerefure we have ro right to as sums it from the mere improbability of the alterna tive stone But, if that story be true, how strange a trutheis! The next step is stranger still, if pos sible. Upon the strength of this very indebtedness Colonel Waugh becomes a director of the bank from which he had borrowed. As a director he seems to have done pretty much as he liked, and he went on " borrowing" till the amount reached £114 . 000. It was only £114,000. Colonel Waugh complains bitterly that he has been injuriously put down as a debtor to the bank to the extent of £240,000, and he evidently thinks that he has been by this cheated out of £126,000. As we read his own statement, however, it would appear that he raised £114,000 and £30,000 upon a mud bank for which he gave £15,000. What became of all this money ? There is a shell of an unfinished castle and some pottery works cn Branksea Island, and there is a fading tradition of ostentatious banquets in London. There is, .moreover, an estimate for the formation of a working establishment, which was to cost £5,000, and a paper of most audacious calculations concern in 30,000,000 tons of " marketable clay," worth £40,000,010 sterling. This is all we have to show for £144.000 in hard cash. The flight of the co directors when the extent of the old soldier's bor rowings became known, the shifts, contrivances, and broken promises, the confident assurances, and the ultimate smash, are all too necessary a sequence to the antecedent facts to be dwelt upon. The great fact notable in the history of human credulity is that a man of no great means, but living in en ex travagant flashy style, was able to raise £144,000 upon a story that he was able to convert clay into tahluempeotpolethwe a e o x s t e u n ff t e , r o e f a d w p e r r o e fi to t he f e 4 0 0, p 0 1 e oo, w o h o. 0 0 w e r l e t cajoled by this impossible nonsense, and none others, we might be inclined to say that no laws can protect such folly as this, and we might be satisfied to see such delusions work their natural result. But the hundreds whom the London and Eastern Bank ruined had no choice or voice in this matter. They did not know that their managing di rector was lending their money upon this promising adventure; they aid not know that their director was helping himself to their money upon this won derful security ; they believed that their business was being conducted as banking business generally is conducted. When they awoke to ruin, and were told that they were liable to their uttermost shil ling. because Branksea Island clay was not worth £8 a ton, they bad, probably, never heard of Brank sea Island, and had no notion that their fortunes had ever depended upon any so singular an impro bability. This is not a fair risk. Take it in the most favourable light; let us strive to believe that this man was his own dupe as well as the deceiver of others ; still the manner in which he obtained this money was as bad. as bad can be. The moral wrong produced was as great as that effected by R esfoer e uci d mun p tdion a r t tao h lsohlm o aa r vwe Roupell; and if the law looks more tightly upon it, and has no name for it among the catalogue of criminal off e nces, more shame to our e . seae bt Perhaps eoanrionFgouu if pr otchnrei suchrme Criminal a e al were acts as public da: tt mightese pro scouter fr be er in the majority of cases where the publin cry out against the impunity of wrongdoers it is not the law which is in fault, but the administration of the e l law. . eh a L r e a t et i e t r b h e a , to call for any vindi i o r o , curr a e t d r : ot w nin e g ar o e f n a ot c a r b im ou i- t that has here e the Bankruptcy Courtmlai Colonel Waugh, Something, however, ought to be vindictive proceedings, even against a scot-free, while others who man as aas this passing through done to prevent s uc h have not occasioned h a lf so mach,memreilsyeruynafroertuexnpatie trader, and escapin g .

The marked disin- The Late Sir Cresswell CresswelL (From the Times.) The shock to the system cau s ed by an acc ident has deprived us of one of the hest and perhaps altogether the most valuable of our Judges. Sir Cresswell Creswell died yesterday morning. He was an old man, for, as he took his degree at Cam bridge in 1814, he must in all probability have been in his seventieth year. Time, however, had not impaired the v'gour of his intellect. He was in the full enjoyment of his judicial powers; his memory was as good, his discrimination as prompt, his learning as ready, and his nerve as strong as in his earlier years wheu battling at the Bar. But for this miserable occurrence of a broken-down carriage and a frightened pair, of horses he might, notwith standing that he appears to have had a latent disease lurking in his frame, have gone on for years doing good service to his country, and finding his best enjoyment in the discharge of his duties. Sir Cresswell Cresswell's career has been simply that of a hardworking lawyer. In later years he appeared to be one 01 those who seem to love work for its own sake, and such men always make their way at the English Bar. This, however, may have been an acquired habit. Being only the fourth son of a gentlemen of good estate, perhaps it was in the first instance a necessity to him to apply with assiduity to his profession. It is certain that after his call in 1819 the attorneys found out a capacity which the Cambridge examiners had failed to dis cover. That he drudged away in Westminster hall the long series of Barnewall and Cresswell's reports will testify. He joined the Northern Circuit at a time when Brougham and Scarlett governed the revels of the Grand Court, and divided the business of serious litigation. He fought his way along through the dust in which these two gladiators were always enveloped; and at last when the heroes were taken up into the sedes discrete piorunt, and no longer vexed the Northern Circuit, unless asjuilges, Cresswell and Alexander succeeded to their places. The leader ship of the Northern Circuit was in those days some thing to struggle for and something to retain. It took a strong man to hold his own there. Cresswell was not a Brougham, perhaps he was not in tact and power of persuasion a Scarlett, but he was strong enough to seize Ili o a the leadership of the Northern Circuit, and to hold it easily against all comers. Ile got his silk gown in 1834, and from that year till 1842 he worked very hard, and must have made much money. Most men in aueh a position would have looked to the House of Commons and to the high prizes of his profession, all of which seemed to be within his reach. Cresswell was elected for Liverpool in 1837, and reteined his seat until be was raised to the Iloaeh. He was not, however, $ very ardent politician, nor was he particularly auc- SCALP HUNTING IN MINNESOTA. General Pope is again making himself notorious, and Butler must look to his laurels. Governor Ramsay, in his department, has organised a volun teer corps to serve against the Indians. In the order directing the organisation occurs the follow ing : " A compensation of 25 dollars will also be given to anybody for each scalp of a male Sioux, delivered at this (the adjutant general's) office." On the 7th of July, the sheriff of M‘Leod county received 25 dollars for the scalp of a Sioux warrior, killed on the 4th July, near the town of Hutchin son. The Indian shot was one of a party of four teen, and when killed was engaged in picking berries. The winner of the first bounty, Harper by name, though pursued by the remaining Indians, made his escape, obtained the aid of his neighbours, returned, and then secured the indisputable evidence of State indebtedness.

While engaged in the rescue of the shipwrecked men a heavy sea struck the lifeboat and carried away one of her brave crew; but he fortunately regained the bOat by meats of his lifebeit anti a line. William Alex ander, the gallant coxswain, had on several occa sions, in this and other lifeboats, been off to save life under very perilous circumstances. The so ciety also voted to him its silver medal, in testi mony of his valuable services as coxswain of the Thorpe lifeboat. The cost of this lifeboat was pre sented, about 12 months ago, to the National Life boat Institution by the residents of Ipswich. She Mr. in ti.le. chair.' has since been the means of rescuing two ship wrecked crews from an inevitable death, besides rendering important services on one or two occa sions to vessels in distress during steamy weather. A reward of £4 10s. was also voted to the crew of the society's lifeboat at St. Ives, Cornwall, for going off and saving the crew of four men from the schooner Azores, of Falmouth, which during a heavy gale of wind had stranded, and afterwards sunk at the entrance of the harbour of St. Ives. The cost of this and of three other lifeboats was presented to the institution by a benevolent lady whohaswithbeld her name. A reward was likewise granted to the crew of the lifeboat of the institution at Rhoscolyn, near Holyhead, for going off in the night and rendering important services to the barque Diadem, of St. John's, Newßrunswick, which during foggy weather was observed is a disabled condition off that place. The life-boat landed four passengers from the vessel. A reward was also given to the crew of the New Brighton tubular life-boat belonging to the EQciety, for putting off and rescuing the crew cf six men from the schooner Vigilant, of Kirkaldy, which was totally wrecked during a strong wind on Taylor's Bank, near Liverpool. The life-boat was tcwed to windward of the wreck by the steam tug Blazer, Liverpool, and remained by the vessel some hours to see if she would float off or not, before the crew were taken off. Before the liee-boat had proceeded far on her return, the vessel was seen to capsize and become a total wreck. The thanks of the institu- tion, inscribed on vellum, were voted to Mr. John Long, agent for Lloyd's on the Isle of Wight; Mr. Wm. Webb and Mr. James Webb, pilots, and £lO to be divided between the two pilots and three other men, in acknowledgment of the gallant and perse— vering conduct in their pilot-boat in rescuing, at considerable risk cf life, the crew of six men hem the brig tiabama, of Gloucester, which, during a very heavy gale of wind, was totally wrecked ou the middle of the shingles while running through the Needles, on her way to Southampton. Upon nearing the distressed vessel, the sailors found it im possible to rescue the crew, owing to the fearful sea, which ran so high as to break over the vessel's maintop, completely obscuring the poor men in the rigging who were shouting for help, and seemed frantic with despair. The crew of the pilot-boat, however, determined not to leave them, and stood off and on all night until the weather had some what moderated, when they succeeded with great difficulty in switching the six men from an inevita ble death, The Cermathen Bay life-boat of the insti tution bad put off with the view of rendering assist ance to the French lugger, Jean P. Baptist, which, during very foggy weather, had struck on a dan gerous 22d inst. ; fortunately, however, the vessel suc ceeded in getting off from her dangerous position, sandbank in that bay on the night of the and afterwards proceeded on her voyage.

I found a few valuable books, all contained (and I believe are at the present time) in an old deal cupboard, upon which the leakage from the roof had dripped apparently for years. It must have been long since any one had touched a book there, and the amount of dust and decay was certainly enough to deter even a bibliomaniac from so doing. After eat-mining a few interesting books. I pulled out one which was lying flat upon the top of others. It was in a most de plorable state, covered thickly with a damp, sticky dust, and with a considerable portion of the back rotted away by wet. The white decay fell in lumps on th e floor aseun appreciated volume was opened.
