A man of the name of Joseph Miller, a weaver,l from Cumwhinton, about three mi!es from this city, is now in custody in our gaol, charged with making an attempt upon the life of his own wife, by cutting her throat. It appears there has for some time been some family jars respecting some property which Miller got on his marriage with his ,life, from her parents. Three or four years ago he offered this property for sale, and it was bought by his wife's mother far 1201. and with the proceeds of the sale he set off for America—leaving the wife to take care of herself, as best she might. A little before Easter last he wrote home to say he was de sirous of returning, but had not the necessary funds ; these were supplied by the wife, and he arrived home about Easter. Soon afterwards he wished the wife's mother to restore him the pro perty she had bought from him ; she refused, and he offered personal violence to her which endan gered her life; this gave rise to quarrellings and biekerings. On Wednesday afternoon he took tea with his wife, and appeared more than commonly cheerful. Soon afterwards, be took hold of her, took a knife from his pocket, and began deliberately to cut her throat, making two or three dreadful gashes; but finding the knife blunt, he began, with great coolness, to sharpen it, still hold ing her firmly with one hand. By this time bee "screams had alarmed some of . the neigh bours, who entered the house, and caved him to desist from his horrible purpose. He left the house and fled to a neighbouring plantation, where he was followed by the constable, and taken into custody. Before the constable found him he had made an at tempt upon his own life,by cutting his throat with the same blunt knife with which he had attempted the murder of his wife; but the injury inflicted was not of a dangerous nature, and he was safely lodged in our gaol. The wife lies in a most dangerous state. -Carlisle Journal. GLEAVE THE CONVICT-ROMANTIC ATTACHMENT. This man, who, it will be remembered, was con demned to death at the last Chester Assizes, for cutting and stabbing a young female who was preg nant by him, has been reprieved. The parties, we believe, resided at Hyde, and the prisoner had always borne a good character, until the unfortunate occur rence which placed his life in jeopardy. The object of his violence evinced the strongest disinclination to prosecute ; and as soon as the result of the trial was mpde known at Hyde, a subscription was entered into, in order to defray the expenses of a journey to London, to be undertaken by the prosecutrix, in order to get a commutation of his sentence. On her arriva: in the metropolis, the poor girl, prompted by a feeling almost amounting to infatuation, for the man who bad made an attempt upon her life, was unremitting in her attendance at the residence of Mr. Justice Jervis (the Judge who had condemned the prisoner), and also upon the Counsel who had defended the prisoner at the trial. At first, her application seemed perfectly hopeless, as his Lordship ex pressed his intention of allowing the sentence to be carried into execution. The girl, however, became so urgent in her entreaties for the prisoner's life, for • whom she felt an undiminished attachment, that his Lordship was induced to re-consider the evidence, and commuted the sentence to transportation for life. A King's Messenger was despatched on Thursday week, sad arrived at Chester Castle on Friday, the execu . tion being fixed for the following day. The young • woman returned by the Defiance coach on the same day, and to a passenger in the coach she expressed the most romantic attachment to the prisoner, whose fortunes she would still have been willing to share sin his exile, but the duty she owed to her parents deterred her from taking such a step.—Doncaster Gazelle. We are now enabled to state that the amalga . ?nation which was expected to take place between the Whigs and Tories has been found impracticable, although it is more than likely that on many subjects there will be a cordial co-operation ; sometimes in opposition to the Government, checking them in wrong and mischievous measures—and, on other occasions, in the promotion cf objects which both parties may deem advantageous to the ' country. On the Greek question, for instance, the Tories will, as a body, support the Whigs; and in other respects th e results of this arrangement will be immediately mani• fest. Under all circumstances we are not sure that this result is not the best for the country, as well as the most honourable for parties. The Tories will be henceforth found acting in concert, instead of being scattered, as they have lat,ly been, uselessly wasting their strength in desul tory movements. They will now form a sti ong body of observation, acting in such force as to restore the import ' anee which they had almost frittered away; and will he in a condition, at all events, to check the attempts of any unconstitutional Government. An idea is entertained, in some influential quarters, that the Duke will, in a certa'n event, dissolve the Parliament forthwith ; hut it seems unlikely that it would answer his Grace's purpose to face the country, while all the measures which concern the free sale of Beer, the Distillery Duties, the Irish Stamp and Spirit Duties, ice., are pending, and yet to be car.. r i e d.—Brighton Gazette. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 10, 1830. HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH. The following is the Bulletin issued this day— " Windsor Castle, J*ne 10. " The KING has had a restless night, but in other re spects continues much the same as yesterday. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " M. J. TIERNEY." A telegraphic despatch from Toulon has an flounced that the French Expedition has safel: arrived on the Coast of Algiers. An Express has arrived from Paris, with Papers of Wednesday's date. They do not contain any additional information respecting the expedition against Algiers; but a vessel had ar rived from Bona, which stated that the French armament was scarcely even mentioned, and that the only defensive object on the coast was a battery mounting 18 guns. The accounts from Constantinople state that some difference had taken place between the French Ambassador Count GUILLEMINOT, and the REIS EFFENDI, having reference to the ex pedition against Africa, and that the REIS EF FENDI had expressed, in very unequivocal lan guage, his doubt of the integrity of the intention ofthe French Government. It is added that Count GUILLEM IN OT was expected to leave Constanti nople shortly on a special mission. Rumour pointed this to Egypt. The disturbances in Anatolia had assumed a serious form, and the agents of the Turkish Government, appointed to collect the imposts, had been openly resisted and some lives lost. The disaffection in Asia Minor had, however, been put down, and the caravans to Persia, by way of Erzcroum, had resumed their usual route. The King of NAPLES was seriously indis posed at Paris, and a consultation of his phy sicians had been held. His complaint is one he has been suffering more or less under for twenty years. The accounts from Leipsic, by this express, state, that at the fair there had been an increased demand for English goods. 'The Austrian Government has addressed a circular, dated the 30th of last month, stating its intention of paying off on the Ist December next, the third series of 10,000,000 Five per Cent. Stock, or of converting the same into Four per Cents. Bond. The French Three per Cents. closed on 'Tuesday at 77 50. The Renter at 103 93, and the Royal Spanish Loan at 82. A considerable naval English force is said to have sailed from Malta on the 3d ult. for Al iers. By letters from Lisbon this morning, by way of France, we learn that numerous arrests con tinued to take place in the Provinces, and that these victims to political persecution were sent on to the capital. Commerce remained in the same state of stagnation as at the preceding ac counts, and the Treasury of King MIGUEL is stated to be at the very lowest ebb. The following are extracts from Dutch, Brus sels, and German Papers, received this morning : Baussar,s, JUNE B.—We William, &c. &c. consider ing the Decrees successively issued by its respecting the employment of different languages in use in our own king dom, desiring to make in these Decrees the modifications which may be desirable for the convenience of the inhabi tants, after hearing the opinions of the heads of the Mini sterial Departments, and of the Council of State, have decreed and decree— At t. I. All documents, whether public or private, without distinet;on, may henceforth be drawn up through out the kingdom in that language which the parties inte rested desire to be employed in them, provided, in the case of public documents, that the language be understood, as well by the public officers before whom they are executed, as by the witarsses. 2. All advertisements relative to sales, or other civil transactions and concerns, may likewise be in the language chosen by the parties. 3. We authorise by these presents the courts and tri bunals in the provinces of Litnburg, East and West Flanders, and Antwerp, as well as in the arrondissements of Brussels and Louvain (in the province of South Bra bant), to permit, at the desire of the parties, in all cams and judicial matters, that the French language be used in the acts and pleadings. In case the parties should differ about tl.e language to be employed, the Judges shall decide according to the greater convenience and interest of the parties. In general matters tile said permission cannot be refaced, alien it shall appear that the accused persons who shall require it do n ot well understand the language of the Netherland,i. Provided, however, that disk Judges who have to decide the cause understand the French. 4. In the communes of the provinces and arrondisse ments mentioned in Art. 3, in which the French or the Flemish (Walloon) is the language of the people, all the acts and documents relative to the public administration may be drawn up in French. 5. In the same provinces and arrondissements, persons who do not understand the language of the Netherlands may address the Administration and Financial Authorities in French, provided that language be understood by the said Authorities. In this case the answers and decisions • may be in that language. The constituted Authorities in the above-mentioned provinces and arrondissements shall b e at liberty to employ the French language, simultaneously with that of the Netherlands, in all a dvertisements which are included in those mentioned in Art. 2, provided the first of these languages is the usual language of a part of the population ; as well as in all cases in which it may he requisite that those advertisements may be male publicly equally in the French provinces or communes. 6. The use of the French lan7u ige i 4 retained in the provinces of Liege, Ilainout, and Namur, as well as the arrondissement of Neuille (South Brabant), in all matters whether administrative, financial, or judicial. The us e of the French and German language is also retained is our Grand Duchy of Luxemburg ; the regulations already made, and still in force in that respect, shall be strictly observed. 7. The exclusive use of the language of the Netherlands is retained in administrative, financial, and judicial matters in the provinces of North Brabant, Holland, Zealand, Utrecht, Friedand, Overyssel, Groningen, and Drenthe. 8. Such parts of our former Decrees as may be con trary to the present Decree are and shall be revoked. The Chiefs of the Ministerial Departments are charged with the execution of the present Decree, which shall he insetted in the official Journal.

BRUSSELS, JUNE 5.—M. de Stoop went the dly be fore yesterday to the Petits Carnes, to inform the persons exiled that the Ambassador of France had not been autho • rized to sign their passports. The gentlemen were there fore obliged to choose between Prussia and Hanover. They chose the former. It is hoped that their admissions will meet with no difficulty. It is probable they will set out on the '7th of this month. JUNE S.—The exiles set out yesterday morning at four o'clock, with an officer of the marechaussee, in the carriage with them in civil costume. Several police officers were stationed in the way they were to pass. Some friends and other citizens were waiting to bid them a final adieu. Many shed tears. The exiles alone seemed calm. Some of their best friends had set out at two in the morning to wait far them at the gates of Louvain, where the carri Tem arrived at eight o'clock, and rapidly drove through the city, and their friends followed them on the road to Tul norent, to the place where they were to stop for refreshment. Here they found M. Van Meenen and his family, the Edi tor of the Journal of Louvain, and some other inhabi tants of that city, and partook of a slight breakf,st. After an hour's repose they parted with much emotion from their friends. The trial of Messrs. Claes and Neervort is to-day before the Court of Assize. VIENNA, MAY 27.—Their Majesties left Vienna to day, they have changed the plan of their journey, and will go by way of Clagenfutth to Laibach, when they will arrive on the 2,1 June, and stay till the 6th, they will then return to Gratz, so that they will not visit Venice and Trieste this time, and think of being at Schonbrunn by the end of Junr. Prince Metternich will return to Vienna from Johanniaburg at the beginning of July. The Government of the Archduchy of Austria has given notice of the redemption of a third sum of ten 'pillions of florins of the public debt, bearing 5 per cent. interest. MAT 29 _Metalliques, 1004; Four per Cent. 96; Bank Shares, 1,331. If we were to detail the particulars of the va rious surmises afloat, with reference to the poli tical consequences of an event, the anticipation of which fills most men's minds, we should be compiling a catalogue of rumours not less pre mature than, at the present moment, indelicate. It is moreover certain that nothing can yet be stated upon any authority deserving of credit, as to the situation of the present Ministry, and the reports on both sides must be regarded rather as the expression of wishes than the currency of facts. The prevailing opinion certainly is that a coalition of parties is likely to take place, which would impart to the existing Administra tion that vigour which it assuredly wants, and raise it in the scale of public opinion. The several oppositions Froelaim loudly that minis- terial influence in Parliament is sinking rapidly ; as a proof of which they refer to the defeat on the Forgery Bill—to the small majority obtained on Monday over Sir JAMES GRAHAM—and to the general disapprobation which the result of the Greek negotiations has called forth. How ever this may be things are approaching to a crisis, which renders it very improbable that the present Cabinet will, in static quo, meet a newly elected Parliament. This we say not for the sake of consuring, but merely as the result of an attentive view of the political horizon. One of the first measures of a new reign must necessarily be a provision for the minority of the young Princess, who will then be the Heiress Presumptive to the Throne. By the common law of England the Sovereign is never a minor, and Lord COKE says expressly, that the Royal grants and assents to Acts of Parliament are good though the Sovereign be under tw•enty one years of age. An infant Sovereign has consequently no natural guardian, and it there fore becomes necessary to make special provision, from time to time, for the government of the kingdom, when a natural incapacity in the suc ceeding Sovereign is anticipated. The two last instances of this special provision being made were the Act of the 24th Geo. 11., cap. 24, which, in case of the descent of the Crown to any of the children of FREDERICK, Prince of Wales, under the age of eighteen, appointed the then PRINCESS DOWAGER Guardian and Re gent,—and the Act of sth Geo. 111. cap. 27, which, in case of a like descent, to any of his then MAJESTY'S children, empowered the KING to name either the QUEEN, the PRINCESS DOWAGER, or any descendant of King GEORGE THE SECOND, residing in this kingdom, to be Guardian and Regent till the successor should attain eighteen, assisted by a Council of Re gency, whose powers were expressly defined by the Acts quoted. According to these precedents the probability is, that a Regency Act will, at the commencement of the approaching reign, be in troduced, enabling the KING to appoint the QUEEN, the Duchess of KENT, or any des cendant of GEORGE THE THIRD, residing in the kingdom, to be Regent and Guardian of the Princess VICTORIA, until she arrives at eighteen. It is obvious, therefore, that the present Duchess of CLARENCE is the personage most likely to stand in the situation of Regent of Great Bri tain, though, as the Princess VICTORIA is now more than eleven years old, and the Duke of CLARENCE'S health happily affords no indica- tion of premature old age, the Regency must be regarded, at present, as a very remote and uncer tain contingency. As to the absurd allegation that Prince LEOPOLD has an eye to the Regency, what we have said shows it to be a mere ca lumny; and with regard to the Duke of CUM BERLAND (whom, by the bye, we have lately quite lost sight of), it is absolutely impossible he can ever fill the office of Regent, unless he resigns the Crown of Hanover, which descends in the male line only, and to which, after the Duke of CLARENCE, he will consequently suc ceed. If precedents are adopted as a rule, as there is DO reason to suppose they will not be, the course of future legislation, in anticipation of the Princess VICTORI A'S infancy, will be as we have stated. By letters from the Gambia, dated 15th April, we learn the arrival of Mr. RENDALL, the Go vernor of that colony, who has superseded Co lonel FINDLAY, ordered to Sierra Leone, and of Mr. JEFFCOTT, the Chief Justice of the latter colony. Both these gentlemen arrived on the 13th inst. in the Ariadne, of 28 guns, Cap tain KENNEL, after a passage of one month from Plymouth, and were received on landing with a salute from the battery. Colonel FIND LAY, accompanied by Mr. JEFFCOTT, was to have left Bathurst in a week from the day of the Ariadne's arrival from Sierra Leone, where their presence was much required, in conse quence of the present disturbed state of that colony. Since the departure of Major RICKETTS, three months ago, the Government has fallen into the hands of two officers, Captain EvANs and Captain FRAZER, while the office of Chief Justice, vacant by the death of Mr. BANNISTER, has been performed, pro tempore, by one of the merchants. There have been no very recent deaths at Sierra Leone. At the Gambia Mr. BERRY, the collector, died a few days before the arrival of the Ariadne. The mortality at Fernando Po goes on increasing. Colonel NICHOLLS has gone to Ascension for the benefit of his health. Captain BOLSTER, of the Hecla, the surveying ship, a most valuable and enterprizing officer, is dead, and it is said every cfiicer of that ship, with the exception of one Midshipman, is dead. By the death of Captain BOLSTER, the sur veying expedition, which he was conducting with great skill and success, is of course for the present put an end to. There are, the letters state, not less than eleven captured slave-ships at present at Sierra Leone, waiting for adjudica tion. which have been detained there for a con siderable time, in consequence of the absence of the proper officer, the Judge of the Commis sion. The quarrels of the authorities, as to the person in whom the authority to condemn rests, have occasioned great delay. The Captains of the men-of-war by whom those vessels have been brought in are greatly annoyed at this circum stance, and with justice, as if the vessels should ultimately be released they will be liable to large sums.

The 27th Regiment of Light Infantry has pro• reeled by steam, and arrived at Bordeaux on the 2d June. Prince Metternich was expected at Frankfort the 2d inst. Letters from Lisbon of the 22d ult. state that new arrests have taken place in various provinces ; the persons arrested have been sent to the capital. A Portuguese, on presenting a letter to the Princess Is Arena Maria, at the Palace of Queluz, from the emigrants on the frontiers of Spain, was seized by the police. Mr: Mackenzie, the English Consul, has fallen into dis grace with Don Miguel, and his Minister, Count San tarem, has demanded his recall. An English sloop of war went to Oran to take the English Consul on board, but was refused permission, in consequence of which it is said that the English squa dron has gone to Algiers to enforce the demand.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH. PERRY V. BACK. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for an assault and battery. The parties are respectable tradesmen. The plaintiff is a baker, residing in Wellclo,e square, and the defendant a corn-factor, living in the City. rho short facts of the case are as follows :—ln the latter end of last year, the plaintiff wished to make a purchase of some flour of a miller, with whom he had not before had any dealings, the latter consequently wished Mr. Perry to give him some respectable references, which he ac cordingly did. The defendant, however, was not one of the persons referred to. The plaintiff waited for a length of time in expectation of receiving the flour, Out it not arriving be went to the miller, who informed him the reason of the delay was owing to what he had heard from Mr. Back, the defendant. The plaintiff, naturally jealous for the honour of his character and reputation, imme diately proceeded in search of the defendant, whom he foued on the Corn Exchange, and on his upbraiding him with raising a report calculated to injure his credit he re plied that he (the plaintiff) was a liar. Mr. Perry imme diately returned the compliment, and told the defendant that it was him who was the liar; upon this Mr. Back, without any further ceremony, struck the plaintiff a blow on the head ; this was the assault complained of, and for which the present action was hrougbt. Mr. BROUGTTAM, for the plaintiff, called two witnesses, but they failed in proving who made use of the offensive epithet in the first instance. Mr. CAMPBELL. for the defendant, admitted that the verdict must he ag tinst his client, but he thought when the Jury took into consideration the gteat provocation he received in being called a liar, they would ha of opinion that he had only acted in the same manner as every other man possessed of spirit would have done, and think with him (Mr. Campbell) that the lowest coin in the realm would he amply sufficient for damages. Verdict fur the plaintiff—Damages One Shilling. No other case of any public interest came before the Court during the morning.

The 83d regiment marched out of town on Friday morning, in heavy marching order, each man pro vided with blank ammunition, for the purpose of exercise, under the command of Major SUMMERFIXI.D. They marched nearly two miles out of the west end of the town, then struck off to their right, awl came into town by Kelvin Grove. The regiment formed line in a lea field to the west of Kelvin Grove, and fired twice by divi sions upon the light company, who bad t iken shelter in rear of a stone wall at the bottom of a field. After return ing the battalion's fire, they then faced to their left, and made a safe retreat to the wooden bridge at Kelvin Wa ter, where they extended, and lay down on the opposite side of the river, ready to receive the grenadier com pany, who had been pushed forward under Captain SwurzuuNz, in pursuit. While the battalion was forming line amongst the trees, the light company, under Captain HARRISON, kept up a continued fire, until the grenadiers dashed over the bridge in gallant style. At the same moment that respected veteran, Major SUJIMERVIELD, forded the river, and obliged the light company to retreat, which was dune by sections ; the right section gave its fire, the second in succession, &c. &c. After having made their retreat good fur some considerable way on the road leading to Glasgow, the bugle sounded the assembly, and the light company joined the batta lion in Kelvin Grove; the band struck up, in beau . tiful style, the favourite air, " Wil't thou come to Kelvin Grove, bonnie lassie 0' ?" Nothing could exceed the vivid scene of the file firing amongst the trees; and the amazement of the peaceful inhabitants at the war like scene, and the advance and the retreat of the diffe rent divisions gave a most comp'ete idea of the Peninsular warfare. The superior swiftness of the light company, when pursued by the grenadiers or suppo.ed enemy, was quite obvious. There is generally a kind of rivalship be tween all flank companies in every regiment, and there appeared to be no deficiency of it in the 83d ; as their running far exceeded the proper double quick time when pursuing or pursued.— Glasgow Chronicle. TREATMENT OF LUNATICS IN THE NETHERLANDS.—At the distance of some miles from Mechlin is the village of Geel, where the treatment of lunatics is conducted on a principle that might be attended with advantage if acted upon elsewhere. The patients, instead of being confined in a separate building, are given in charge to the farmers inhabiting the village, who receive a yearly stipend for their superintendence, and who employ the poor creatures entrusted to them in such agricultural works as are suitable to their state of mind. The result has been extremely - satisfactory; the apparent freedom from restraint, the salubrity of the place, the constant but gentle exercise, the enjoyment of the open air, the coin • billed employment of mind and body,—all together have restored many to the use of their faculties; who had been pronounced incurable according to the customary modes of treatment. --Dr. Lardner'a Cabinet Cyclopedia. PANORAMA OF AMSTERDAM. Mr. Burford's new Panorama of this fine old commercial city was yesterday opened for a private view. As a wwk of art, it surpasses the best of its predecessors. The point from which the view is taken is on the Spaarndam-bridge, and commands the city on the one side, and the river and the dis tant country on the other. Towards the city the view is of necessity not very extensive, and presents only the fronts of the buildings which skirt the water, with the openings of some of the principal streets, anti the churches and towers which extend above the roofs of the houses. The scene is, how ever, a very striking one. The character of the buildings is not wholly unknown in England, although the modern changes of taste in domestic architecture have made it somewhat obsolete. They are large houses built of brick, or of brick and stone intermixed ; many of them are ornamented with sculptures; the outsides and the window-frames are generally painted with gay colours; and the heavy crane, and warehouse doors, which may be seen in most of them, point out distinctly the care with which their thrifty founders pursued their trade at the same time that they decorated their habitations. The chimneys are remarkably high, of grotesque forms, and commonly surmounted by weathercocks. The spires and towers form very agreeable and striking features in the scene. On the other side of the view the Lust-haus-row, gaudily decorated and painted, and built on piles driven into the water, and flanked by a row of equally gay yachts, add to the variety of the spectacle. The distance is filled in by the river Y and the shipping which occupies its surface, and the new canal extending as far as Nieuwendam. The Panorama is well painted on the whole, and, in some respects, the finishing has been carried to a r e m ar k a bl e p er f ect i on . Th e principal fault in it is a somewhat exaggerated effect of sun light, which nevertheless adds to the power of the Panorama as a painting. VISCERAL DISEASE from GIN-DRINKING. (From the Lancet.) The following observations on the post-mortem appearances which were found in a gin-drinker who died of visceral disease, were delivered by Dr. Elliotson on the same occasion as the clini- cal lectures on hydrophobia, which we published in No. 351, and reported so fully, that we had not room to add the present case. The lecture did not belong to the winter course, which we have hitherto been publishing, but the interest at present attaching to the subject of hydro phobia, induced us to print it at once. A man died, Gentlemen, within these few days, who was admitted in August by Dr. Roots for me, in my absence. I found the icket at the foot of the bed marked morbus hepatis and lienis, and I could not but coincide with the diagnosis. The liver was felt distinct, hard and enlarged, low down on the right side ; and on the left the spleen was felt equally aug mented and indurated. The margin of the in durated and enlarged liver on either side is horizontal ; of the spleen chiefly vertical. There were ascites, edema of the legs, great paleness and puffiness of the whole body, and a scro fulous aspect. The man was only between 20 and 30 years of age, but had been a cad, and in, the habit of drinking several glasses of gin daily before breakfast, besides taking his draughts with scrupulous regularity the rest of the day. Under nutritious diet, and for some time, I was of late obliged to allow him wine, diuretics, and a steady course of iodine, taken internally and rubbed in evernally. I removed his ascites and anasarca, and the spleen and liver diminished considerably. Within these three weeks, however, for no ob vious reason, he began to sink. He had long suffered from diarrhoea, which catechu restrained ; but this did not explain his debility. A sufh cient explanation is before you, in the state of the kidneys, though I do not believe he could have lived many years with so much disease of the liver as you see. The diagnosis was correct. The liver was reduced into that state, called in this country a gin liver; filled with minute light-brown tuber cle; which Andral considers only so many little hypertrophies of the biliary portion. The left lobe is shrunk to less than a quarter of its na tural size ; the right greatly enlarged. Both are • hard, and of a light brownish yellow colour. The right has grown particularly at one spot, near its margin in front, so that you see a round swelling there; and even in the corresponding part of the left there is a similar growth and swelling ; notwithstanding its generally shrunk state. The irregular shrinking and growth of the organ have displaced it, so that instead of lying straight across the abdomen, it lies ob liquely across the right lobe, being far lower, and almost under the left. The spleen is very large, but of a healthy aspect within, only very hard. The outer coat of the spleen is greatly thickened, very dense, and perfectly white. I never saw it more diseased. The rest of the. peritoneum is here and there in a minor degree of the same state, whence the ascites is ac counted for. The kidneys are in a state of con siderable suppuration ; in one are two cavities filled with turbid white serum, and scrofulous clots ; and a third is full of soft puttylike stuff of the same nature, and such as I doubt not both the other cavities originally contained. In the other kidney, several much larger cavities exist, filled with pus, interspersed with similar white clots. These cavities have all a lining membrane ; some are distinct, and none com municate with the pelvis. As this could not have been a painful disease, and there was no escape for the contents of these abscesses into the urinary passages, nothing led during life to a suspicion of the real disease. One or two slight ulcerations existed in the upper part of the ileum ; and one or two small crude tubercles in the lungs. IMPROVEMENTS IN RAIL-ROADS.—It is with pleasure we notice that the improvements introduced by the march of mechanical intellect in the North of Eng land are rapidly extending themselves in this part of the country. Last week an improved railway and self-acting inclined plane, of nearly half a mile in length, were opened in the immediate neighbourhood of Swansea, which appear to merit the inspection of the scientific and curious in these matters. The plane is much flatter than any thing before seen in this part of the country, being at an incli nation of only about two inches in a yard ; it is remarkable for having in its length two curves, somewhat in the shape of the letter S, which the engineer thought necessary to adopt to avoid a deep ravine en one side and a hill on the other. The rails are of cast iron, on their edge, are dove tailed at each end, and wedged into cast iron pedestals, which are again secured by bars of iron transversely across the road; forming, in fact, at each interval, two pedestals in one casting, which serve to connect the two parallel rails and to keep the road always in guage,—a most de sirable object; these pedestals are secured in the usual manner to large solid blocks of stone. This inclined plane connects the Pentre Colliery, the property of the Landow Colliery Company, with the Swansea Canal, and has been formed at considerable expense, the embankment tieing in some parts above twenty feet high. It is perfectly asto nishing to see with what rapidity and precision it does its work, ten tons of coal being passed at a time over the space of nearly half a mile in two minutes, being at the• rate of 15 miles par hour. Thus this simple arrangment would enable the proprietors, if their demand required it, allow ing an interval of three minutes each time for casting off si.d re-connecting empty and full waggons, to send down 120 tons of coal in an hour. In this rich mineral district it would seem due advantage has not yet been taken of the descending levels from many of our most valuable mines.— Cambrian. , IPE OF A This we ida ge , ~ a the histor3 who has si lio n in all has travel day and 1 every con( soldier, as et whose Ind has 1 Productiv, curiosity. fair to ob be benefit to overflo' Lventure ltl every I dote ; it 'lays.
