As Vice-Chancellor, Sir James Knight Bruce, to a singular acuteness, which gave his knowledge of the points in cases when being argued before him almost the appearance of intuition, united an energy of purpose and an in domitable theermination to do justice in each case, which in the great majority of instances worked sub stantial justice to the parties in the readiest mode the nature of the subject-matter permitted. He never willingly allowed the forms of the court to be used oppressively, and he often exercised a bold and vigo rous discretion to prevent parties using such forms and enforcing their strict rights in a manner calcu lated to operate injuriously on their opponents, which ro judge sitting in equity had ever previously ven tured upon. This was mainly accomplished by en forcing consents and concessions from the parties, as the price of some order which it was discretionary with tha court to withhold or to postpone. In this way a long and intricate litigation was often nipped in the bud, and many suitors saved from all the miseries and expenses of a pro tracted Chancery suit. Take for instance the following : a man in trade died owing some debts in the way of his business, and possessed of consider able landed and house properties, on some of which there were mortgages ; in short, though his estate was much mere than solvent, it was entangled, and re quired a little time and some forbearance on the part of the few trade creditors to be made the most of. His executors, desirous of preserving the trade, which was a valuable one, and of keeping the other property to gether, delayed for a short time to prove the will until cited by a creditor to do so, and then they proposed to the two principal and only trade creditors to deposit in their hands ample freehold securities for the amount of their debts until money to pay them off could be realised without needless sacrifices. This was refused by the creditors' solicitor, and a claim to administer the estate was filed on behalf of one creditor. Under such proceed ing a decree to administer the estate would have been quite of course, and all the real property of the testator would have been sold, and his complex affairs wound up in the Master's office, and the plaintiff's (the credi tor's) solicitor would have had the carriage of the decree, and, as a consequence, the lion's share of the costs in curred. Anxious to avert such a destructive litiga tion, the executors applied to the Court to stay pro ceedings on the claim, upon their giving security to pay the plaintiff's debt and costs then incurred within a short time. Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce thought the executors had not been quite so prompt as they might have been in proving the will, and refused to stay proceedings, except on the terms of immediate payment of debt and costs, and he al lowed the matter to stand over for a few hours, that the counsel of the executors might confer with their solicitor. When the matter was again men tioned the money was brought in, and in open court, by the Vice-Chancellor's direction, handed over to the plaintiff's solicitor. In the meantime, however, a second claim by the other trade creditor had been prepared, through the same counsel and solicitor, and when the matter was mentioned application was made to file a second claim for administration. This could not be dealt with in the same way, the amount of the debt was larger, and there was an open account between the creditor and the testator. The executors could only re present to the court that they had offered security, that they were about to raise money on the testator's real estate for payment of his debts, and that such arrangements would probably be defeated should there be a suit pending for the administration of his estate. In ordinary cases, the Court could scarcely enter into such considerations; and leave to file a claim would be given to a creditor almost as of course. But the Vice-Chancellor said, " I see there is a desire and intention on the part of these executors to pay the debts, and I must, so far as I can, protect this testa tor's estate from destruction," and he accordingly di rected the application of the creditor to stand over for two months, on the executors entering into their personal undertaking to pay the debt, or consent to an administration decree at the end of that time. Before that time had expired, the necessary funds were raised and the debt paid. Here, by the exercise of a firm discretion, the Vice-Chancellor steyed the property of a family from anni hilation. It is true he spoiled a " very pretty. (legal) quarrel," and prevent e d the creditor solici torfrom getting a very pretty bill of costs out of the entangled estate, but the suitors and the public will probably deem his Honour worthy of high praise for such interference. And so in a multitude of other cases, familiar to practitioners in his court, the Vice- Chancellor Knight Bruce has rendered his a court of reconcilement, to the manifest benefit of all parties. As a drawback, it must also be fairly stated suitors and their counsel have not seldom complained. The court has decided without giving them a full and sa tisfactory hearing; and though even in such cases the Vice-Chancellor was very apt to be right, he is not more than other men infallible. It is unquestionable that many appeals have been made from his decisions, mainly because all the points in the cases were not fully argued before him. Lord Cranworth, on the other hand, has earned the character of being somewhat slow in his decisions, and of permitting argument to be per sisted in after it has become perfectly plain to the judge that such argument was untenable; consequently less business was got through in his court than was ex pected. The soundness and completeness of his judgments, however, when given are undoubted, and they are very generaly acquiesced in by suitors. As a Vice-Chancellor, the long absence of Lord Cran worth from the Court of Chancery, whilst sitting as a common law judge, was felt to have been a disad vantage, for during that period changes of practice and new general orders had been made, which ma terially affected the business of the court ; with these the Vice-Chancellor could not have that complete familiarity which constant and daily practice in the court can alone give, and which is so essential to the dispatch of a large part of the judicial duties of the Court of Chancery. When sitting as an appeal judge these points of deficiency will be of no importance, for there are few appeal cases in which, for some reason or other, a full argument is not necessary, and that minute acquaintance with details of practice is not so math required on the part of an appeal judge as in a judge of the first instance. The mode in which the vacant Vice-Chancellorships have been filled will also, we believe, afford equal satisfaction with the appointments to the appeal court. Sir Wit lism Page Wood, the late Solicitor-General, is a clear headed man and a good lawyer, with an eminently judicial mind ; and while he is an acute practitioner, and well versed in the principles and practice of the court, he has no predilections or prejudices which can interfere with any changes necessary to adapt the Court of Chancery to the ideas and exigencies of mo dern times. Mr. James Parker also is a man of great legal acumen end sound knowledge. His practice in the court has been vast and various, and his opinion on knotty questions of equity law has long been deemed one of the safest, if not the safest, upon which intending litigants could act. That he will make an excellent judge may be cer tainly predicted. It is creditable to the Govern ment and to the Lord Chancellor as their first legal functionary, that, in completing thej udicial force of the Court of Chancery, party politics have been thrown overboard, in order to select the best .hight m en for the judgment-seat; for the Vice-Chancellor le_ Bruce and Vice-Chancell or T u rner, and now. V . ice- Chancellor Parker, all belong to partie s cally opposed to th e G overnmen t. The question now na turally ted from the to be h s e e re ec is work to be asked, i s —" Wh o i s to be the n ew Solicitor- General?"

It is consi dered one of the largest stock markets. The supply of cattle was . unusually large, and a very great concourse o f farmers and ' cattle graziers was brought together. The stock was in good condition. Among stock, young beasts of the Here ito:eradagned Devon breed made from 9 /. to 101. 10s. a head, and were in great demand. Lincolns made to 124 a head, and the price of good Scots was 51. to 71. each, which were bought for stalling up. The collection of milch cows was one of the finest ever witnessed at a public mart, being of the choicest Yorkshire breed, and made prices ranging from 16 to 19 guineas, small calf inclusive, and were eagerly bought up by London milk dealers. Among Welsh cattle, which occupied almost exclusively the racecourse, there was a lively business, at good prices.

Gore House, Kensington, April 22, 1851. FESTIVAL OF THE SARDINIAN VISITORS TO THE EXHIBITION. Yesterday was distinguished by one of the most remarkable celebrations that have occurred in con nexion with the Great Exhibition. Our readers have been informed of the arrival in London of a company of eighty-five workmen, inhabitants of the principal towns of the dominions of the King of Sardinia, who have come to see the wonders of the Exhibition and study the industrial productions arranged within its vast area. They have been selected as the represen tatives of the industry of Northern Italy from the most respectable and intelligent artisans of the chief towns in the various provinces both of the Piedmontese mainland and the Island of Sardinia—from Turin, Genoa, Cagliari, Novara, Alassandria, Asti, and other important places. The expenses of their journey are defrayed by a liberal subscription, headed by King Victor Emmanuel 11. and his brother the Duke of Genoa. The Piedmontese Go vernment has been induced to take this step as well from a liberal desire of showing its appreciation of the spirit of the age and its sym pathy with the industrial classes, as with the view of placing within the reach of some of its most valuable and deserving artisans the great means of improve ment both as regards practical skill and a knowledge of the relative position and attainments of other countries opened up by the Exhibition. An occasion so interesting was embraced by the accomplished Minister of his Sardinian Majesty in London, the Marquis d'Azeglio, to the industrial delegates of his country to a public breakfast, which took place yesterday in the grand banquetting hall of M. Soyer's famous establishment at Gore House, which was appropriately selected as the scene of the festivity. The company assembled at twelve o'clock. The Marquis d'Azeglio occupied the chair, and was sup ported by the Marquis Oldoini and Count Conti, secretaries, and Count Gropello, attaché of the Sar dinian Legation; and by Chevalier Lencisa, Royal Commissioner of Sardinia to the Exhibition ; Che valiers Torelli and Scapino, Deputies in the Sardinian Parliament ; Professors Sabueno and Ansaldo, and Signor Ferrero, forming the commission for the di rection of the ardinian workmen in London. An admirable cold collation, commising all the delicacies of the season, not forgetting some excellent claret and champagne, nicely cooled, was provided by M. Soyer, and served with all the taste and neat ness which have deservedly installed him chef de cuisine to all nations. The guests having done due justice to the good things set before them, His Excellency the Marquis D'AZEGLIO rose and addressed the company in a speech, of which we sub join an English version : " Gentlemen—l bid you welcome to this classic land of hospitality, which on the present occasion greets you as invited guests at the industrial feast of the universal world, but which we do not forget has in every age been renowned for another sort of hospi- tality, in which our country likewise glories—l mean that due to the misfortunes of all nations. I esteem myself fortunate in having been permitted, gentle men —or, rather, let me address you as my dear countrymen—to receive and meet you here to-day at this friendly table. A grand and sublime spectacle is that which you have been sent to contemplate by our true, generous, and excellent Sovereign, and by the whole nation, which joyfully received the sugges tion of your journey, and joined in facilitating its ac complishment. In this universal exhibition, of which the wonders are before us, we admire the results of many ages of patient labour and progress common to the civilised world. An achievement such as this would suffice to illustrate any one reign, and will cer tainly augment the splendour of that of a Queen who styles it her first honour to reign over the hearts of her subjects, solicitous to promote their welfare and indus try—the first in dignity and the first also in virtue. To Prince Albert also the highest praise is due. Over coming all the difficulties that met him, he was the first, not only to conceive the idea of the Exhibition, but to foresee the happy issue of his great project. We ought to learn much in these circumstances, and in such a country. For, if the plans conceived for the undertaking were admirable, the execution of them, on the part of all who combined in this work, was not less so, blending thus the sublime spectacle of harmony between the mind that directs and the hand that executes, with that of the inter-dependen cies which should exist between the different classes which form a nation. May the activity and the masterly energy shown by the English nation, as well as the admirable order so constantly maintained— thanks to their respect for the laws—serve for an example to us, dear countrymen, who, supported for tunately by free institutions, and governed by a King who is beloved, and worthy of being so, have within ourselves the same elements of life, prosperity, and progress, as England itself. Let us learn—or I will say, rather, let us continue to labour concordantly in our various degrees for the good of the country and the advancement of its industry, promoting :the public weal, diffusing instruction amongst the less wealthy clasits, and preserving intact the religion of our fathers. Let us seek to have ever before our eyes that virtue which chiefly contributes to make this country great—l mean its respect for the laws. Let us respect others in order to be ourselves respected. United in fraternity under the aegis of the monarch whose health I have the honour to propose to you, let our cry of union be, Long live King Victor Emmanuel 11. and the Royal Family.' "—(Prolonged and enthusiastic vivas followed the close of his Ex cellency's address, and the toast was drank by the company standing.) Chevalier LENCIBA, Royal Sardinian Commissioner, then spoke as follows :—lt would be inexcusable presumption on my part to wish to add anything to the eloquent words of our distinguished Ambassador in London. I will confine myself to a few brief sen tences, directed to propose to you a toast, which I am sure will be received with sincere joy by all. To the right and left of the vestibule of that magic palace which you see at a little distance, stands a series of rooms formed of simple boarded partitions, not unlike those with which the humble apartments of working men are fitted up. Here it was that, by the Royal Commissioners and the Executive Committee, were matured those arrangements, carried out in a way so truly admirable, which gave striking proofs of that wisdom in council and energy in action which in a few months produced this stupendous Exhibition of the universal industry of the world, and gave a grand example of what could be done in a country where respect for the laws is found conjoined with liberty, of which it forms the foundation. And here it is in cumbent on me to pay a tribute of gratitude to the English Commissioners, and all their official staff, for the assistance they have given us, without which the honourable mission confided to us by the Government of his Majesty in the interest of our native industry never could have been fulfilled. This assistance has never failed us from the moment at which we com menced our labours to this day, when the Executive Commission has kindly consented to grant to your com mittee, for their deliberations, a chamber in the Exhi bition building, assuring us, at the same time, of the continuance of their support, in order that you may be able to turn your sojourn in London to profit. I should add, that I have received from the chief ma gistrates of the two greatest manufacturing cities of England—Birmingham and Manchester—the centres of the iron and cotton manufactures, the assurance that they will do all in their power to procure access for you to the industrial establishments of these cities, in case it be determined that you pay them a visit. Seeing the immense development of industry and labour in the Exhibition, and in the industrial es tablishments of England, and reflecting on the multi plicity of relations to which they have given rise, you will return to your native country more deeply im pressed with the truth and the importance of a maxim which ought to be better known and better felt-,that nations do not thrive on each others' losses, as was by some foolishly supposed, but that they grow strong and great by each others' benefits. A state that does not act upon this conviction, instead of becoming rich and powerful, will fall into isolation, and finish by lapsing into barbarism. Hence, there can be no industrial prosperity in any part of the world which does not associate to itself the commercial prosperity of other parts, and hence a state is great and powerful in proportion as it has in itself the virtue of acting with energy, and can exercise its industry with suc cess. But if the industries of all countries are thus tied together, we may more particularly conjoin, and in the present circumstances with great propriety, the industry of Great Britain and that of the Sardi nian States. And this is the subject of the toast I propose to you, inviting you to drink together to the ever growing prosperity and progress in industry of all nations, and particularly of Great Britain and Sardinia. This toast was drunk with cordial acclamations. Cavalier Seem' expressed the thanks of the in dustrial delegates to the Marquis d'Azeglio, for the care which had been taken of their comfort in the expedition on which they had come to London, and, of A zeglio re minding the company that the family had ever stood at the head of l iberal progress in the Piedmontese dominions, called on them to fill a bumper to the health of the " Ambassador and his Family," which was drunk with the utmost applause. Cavalier TORELLI proposed a toast to the health of the Queen of England in the following terms: Many of our Piedmontese countrymen have already received the most hospitable welcome in this country [PRICE SD. during the present year, which will be made ever memorable by the Exhibition, and to which your visit also is owing. A similar reception undoubtedly awaits you, too, and of this you have had a proof in the letters of the chief magistrates of Manchester and Birmingham, mentioned by our Royal Commissioner Wishing to express by anticipation our gratitude, I propose to you a toast for a person who is the object of all the sympathies of England—the first of nations —I mean for the Queen of this hospitable country— " Long live the Queen of England and her Consort, Prince Albert." Loud cheers followed the proposal of the Hon. De puty, and accompanied the drinking of the toast. PIAZZA, one of the workmen, proposed a toast to the memory of King Charles Albert, who had be stowed free institutions on Piedmont, and directed all his measures to promote the cause of national progress. Professor ANSALDI proposed the last toast, to the union and harmony of the workmen of Piedmont, and to the honour of the Turin committee, for direct ing this national expedition. He reminded his bearers that union was essential to force, and congra tulated them on the disappearance of municipal ha treds, and the fusion of all districts and classes in Piedmont, so that all felt themselves sons of the same country, and subjects of one Government. The proceedings had been conducted throughout in the best spirit, and everyone present evidently derived from them the highest gratification. The company now broke up, and marched in procession to the Ex hibition building. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TlMES.—There seems to be but little doubt that the Duke of Norfolk has left the communion of the Church of Rome, the hereditary faith of the noble house of Howard, and become a member of the Church of England. Of course we shall be assured by our Roman Catholic contemporaries that the loss of the premier Duke and Marshal of the kingdom is to them a matter of no importance, and that the extraordi nary merits of the son amply compensate them for the defection of the sire. At this particular moment, however, such an event is full of much significance, and may possibly be ominous of consequences more inimical to the spread of the Roman Catholic faith than any which have been dreamt of in the philosophy of our Wisemans and C aliens. It is not likely, cer tainly, that the convictions under which this noble personage has acted have been hastily taken up, but the present conjuncture is more peculiarly calculated to raise up doubts and difficulties in the mind and to convert the wavering believer into an open op ponent. The Roman Catholic Church claims to be nothing less than the depository of those superhuman powers which the Author of Christianity has be queathed to her. She is either a great standing miracle or a gross imposture. Her priests are either endowed with powers which render the violation of the laws of nature almost as common as their observance, or they are subordinate agents in a conspiracy against the liber ties and enlightenment cf mankind. In deciding this momentous alternative it is impossible not to be guided in some degree by the conduct and profes sions of those who claim to be in an especial manner the recipients of superhuman gifts. In purely Roman Catholic countries the strongest arguments of dissent have usually been drawn from the irre gular lives of the wealthier clergy, and the validity of their pretensions has been estimated according to the strictness or laxity of their morality. It was, probably, a perception of this truth which induced the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland to abstain from taking a public share in that political agitation which they secretly and actively favoured and promoted, and to leave the more prominent and invidious positions to laymen, whose violence and intemperance might serve the interests without compromising the sanctity of the Church. Since the passing of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, however, this spirit of moderation and good sense has entirely deserted the leaders of the Roman Catholic priesthood, and in en evil hour for their own interest they have determined not only to agitate, but to play themselves the leading part in the agitation. The movement is not only for but by the Roman Catholic Church. All the stale and worn out arts of a demagogue of the lowest order— the impudent mendacity, the unprincipled virulence which distorts without scruple the plainest facts of history, and Gasifies the most undoubted conclusions of reason—are the weapons with which the Roman Catholic Church herself has undertaken to carry on the war against the English Crown and Legislature. Her priests and dignified clergy utter, without the slightest scruple, the most astounding statements to applauding audiences, and, not content with the momentary triumph of their eloquence, circulate them in penny and halfpenny publications throughout the country in which they profess to be ministers of peace. Take the following extract from the speech of the notorious Dr. Cahill, which has been printed for circulation at the price of a penny :—" But, alas ! my beloved country, the poor Irish Catholic, the child of God and man, is left to feed upon briars and thorns, and perishes of hunger by the wayside, the handwriting of England is traced in the protruding bones of his skeleton frame, and publishes in red capital letters Starved to death by English law.' " This sentence, says the penny report, produced the most thrilling effect on the entire meeting. We do not doubt it did. The dish was admirably seasoned to the palates for which it was designed ; but we can not help suspecting that these thrilling effects are not produced by Roman Catholic priests in person with out considerable injury to the cause of the faith of which they are ministers. It must, we should think, be extremely difficult to believe that a body of men who lend themselves knowingly and wilfully to the propagation of the grossest and most notorious false hoods, merely because they are addressing an audi dience blinded and ignorant enough to believe them, can be at the same time that selected few to whom have been intrusted the supernatural powers which evidenced the beginning of Christianity. It is hard to conceive a man as spiritually all truth whom R e know in temporal concerns to be all falsehood. The contradiction is too striking, too startling. From the moment the Roman Catholic priests, under the guidance and sanction of their spiritual heads, have taken upon themselves the vocation of dema gogues and agitators they loosen their hold upon the sympathies and convictions of the more respectable members of their persuasion, and barter for the applause of a miserable rabble their solid in fluence over educated minds. They seem determined to prove that a man cannot be a worthy member of their communion unless he ha prepared to set the Pope above the Queen and to violate the law of the land with the most ostentatious premeditation. We have been anxiously watching for the effscts of this policy. We were prepared to :lee the more discrimi nating and judicious of the Roman Catholic laity stand aloof from this clerical agitation, and were not sur prised to find the most judicious or gan o f t h e Roman ist press painting out, with much goo d sense an d mo deration, the folly of the attitude of defiance assumed by Dr. Cullen and his coadjutors. The only other event which has followed this demonstration is the loss to the Roman Catholic Church of the layman who has hitherto been considered its head. This, pro bably, was not the result which Dr. Cullen ex pected from the demonstrati on o f th e Rotunda, but while resorting to the worn-out tactics of O'Con nell he forgot that the hour and the man were alike passed away, and that thouvh his Irish supporters could not be roused to anything more useful than momentary applause, his English co-religionists might be irretrievably disgusted and alienated. The recent converts to the Church of Rome from the En glish universities have no sympathy whatever with the rude and brawling declaiiners of the Irish priest hood. They ar e mostly men offastidious delicacy and secluded in contemplative habits, who have been led to embrace tha faith of Rome, not from any prac tical knowledge of its effects, but from an over strained and exaggerated appreciation of the dignity of the sacerdotaloffice and the functions of a Christian church. To such men nothing could tend to operate as so complete a reductio ad absurdum of their fine spun theories as the defiant and undignified attitud— half bullying, half craven—whi c h, under the direction of her Cardinal and. Primate, the Ch u rch of Ireland has assumed. Instead of relying on her supernatural gifts, they see h er cour ti ng the lowest popularity by the vilest arts, an d see ki ng aid, not from the spirit of truth, but from falsehood and misrepresentation. lye can hardly hope that even th is result will entirely dis abuse the minds of men who have already shown so singular a p ow er of ignoring all absurdities andin consistencies ; but if this is not to be, we may at any rate hope for the rise and increase of a party in the Homan Catholic Church woich may respect the la w under which we liv e, and proclaim that the cau se o f true religion is better served by truth, honesty, a n d loyalty, than by falsehood, slander, and disaffection.

We have reeds , ed a letter from Mr. S. B. Rogers, of Nant-y-Glo, who solicits patronage for carrying out certain plans for the erection of a m agnificent granite bridge, above two miles long, across the river Severn, at Black Rock or New Passage, to connect Monmouthshire and South Wales with Bristol and the west of England. by a double line of rails and a common carriage road; such bridge to be 140 feet wide, with bazaars, shops, &c., and a covered colonnade occupying fifty feet along the entire of its centre; and with arches of 324 feet span, rising 120 feet above the highest spring-tidet, so as to allow ships of the largest size passing at all times; the piers and abutments (the upper parts of which to be habitable) to have a casing of cast-iron up to high water mark, by.which means all serious damage to the masonwork would for ever be prevented. Mr. Rogers states that the practicability of this undertaking was ad mitted by the late Mr. John Rennie nearly forty years ago; and asserts that no engineer in the present day will dispute the point, for the foundation would be "rock" for nearly its entire length; and the bases of the piers would be dry for about four hours every tide. The cost of the bridge and its approaches would of course ba very great, but the projector does not fear raising the sum required, arid that a dividend of 10 per cent. would be certain on the capital obtained. When we see the promised " rough drawing" o f the proposed bridge, we shall be happy•to return to the subject; meantime we give Mr. Rogers's concluding observations :—" This grand structure, would be a durable monument of huma n skill and labour, unequalled for utility and magnificence th r oughout the world The shops, bazaars, and colon nade (with open and well fenced promenades on their roofs at an elevation of 200 feet above low-watermark), may be constructed principally of glass and ornament a l metals, after the manner of the Crystal Palace,' so as to afford conveniences for the display and sale of artis tical, manufacturing, and natural results of all kinds, thereby constituting a sort of permanent Great Exhi bition' of the products of all nations, and i for monu ments and curiosities of eve r y descrption; and the bridge itself—like the Glass Palace , —would be the greatest monument and curiosity of the whole !"—Bere ford Journal. some RAILWAY EXCURSIOPISTS IN A Fix.—For time past a system of trafficking in excursion tickets, which are sold upon a contract that they shall not be transferred, has been carried on by the purchasers. The plan has b een for persons going only the one way journey to sell their tickets on arriving at their destination to some person going the other way, thus defrauding the railway of the difference. The practice has been carried on in a very open manner; and it has been , the custom for a number of persons to as semble round the station, and invite the passengers, as they passed from the train, to sell their tickets, while there have been instances in which the passengers themselves have de scended the platform stairs, asking, " Who wants to buy a ticket cheap?" The matter coming to the knowledge of the Great Western Company, it was determined to take steps to detect the offenders, and on Sunday last persons were sta tioned to watch the proceedings around the station, while others were placed in the train. Several sales were seen and noted by those in the street, while the officers in the car riages heard boastings among the passengers respecting the cheap rate at which they had bought their tickets. Upon arriving at Swindon the detected parties were all stopped, and had offered them the choice of three alternatives :—To pay fall fare on to Paddington; to pay full fare from Bristol to Swindon and back; or to go back in custody, remain in the station-house all night, and make their appearance before the magistrates on the morrow. Many adopted the first, one or two the second, and some being unable to pay, were brought down with the prospect of the third, but were sub sequently redeemed by their friends.—Bristol Mercury.
