An argument of very considerable intere s t t o our selves is this month p ublished in the p a g es of Bent. ley 's Miscellany. Referenc e has already been m a d e to it in our literary department, but we deem the subject treated upon as sufficiently important to de mand from ourselves the present earnest reconsidera. tion. The question examined into by the mag:zioe Contributor is no other than the system of water sucply, as instant/GI in tiro capitals of Great Britain, France, and the United States. The particulars upon which the argument referred to is built up have been culled, remember, from official documents, printed in those countries by order of their respective Governments. The deduction drawn from the argu ment is such as to command the serious scrutiny of every individual interested in the salubrity of our metropolis. Setting out with an allusion to the an tiquity of London as compared with New York, the writer in Bentley's Miscellany remarks, with extra ordinary emphasis, an emphasis that not only appeals at once to our reason, but stimulates, moreover, and that in a very remarkable manner, the powers of our imagination—" London was London when St. Paul was a prisoner in Rome, ten years before the destruc tion of Jerusalem." Adding immediately thereupon, " Sixteen hundred years afterwards, when New York was but just named, London lost some seventy thousand by the plague, and more than thirteen thousand houses by the Great Fire, and hardly missed them." Since that period, it might be added, the capital of England has spread in all directions to an unexampled magnitude, and contains from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 as the number of its population. Mean while New York, within a circle whose radius cannot extend beyond three miles, e mbraces only three quarters of a m illi on o f i n h a bitants, being in truth, as here expressed, "a mere JONAHS gourd com pared with the British metropolis. Yet, vast as the difference is which is noticable between the two cities, New York po.sesses an enormous advantage overL9ndon in having a supply of pure water for its inhabitants, more than sufficient to satisfy the re quirem,,nta of a locality thrmst as densely populated. Sixty imperial gallons each twenty•four hours to E very inhabitant," is surely a boupteous supply, evecially valuable seeing that the water in queetion is of the purest description, being convey ed from the Croton river, six miles above its mouth, by means of a superb and costly aqueduct. Tnis reminds one of the engineering labours of LEONARDO at Mortesana, end of those other beneficent efforts of genius and munificence which are recorded in the medieval ages and in the ages of antiquity. By means of the splendid enterprise evinced in these particulars not only are the citizens, of New. York supplied with copious draughts of wholesome and invigorating water, but their capital is through its instrumentality plentifully irrigated in its drainage, its principal streets, moreover, being adorned with fountains. Read the account of the New York aqueduct fur nished through Bentley's Miscellany, and you will be reminded of those colossal works of the subterranean channels built many centuries ago in the Eternal City, and portions of which still remain to gratify the curiosity of the traveller and to excite the admi ration of the antiquary. Speaking of this huge con duit of hydraulic masonry of stone and brick, at the time of its original construction, the vriter observes, " the commissioners and chief engineers passed through its whole length on foot as soon as it was completed ; and when the water was admitted tra versed it again in a boat built for the purpose." By such magnificent structures have the authorities o the American metropolis provided against the poison ing of its inhabitants through the use of polluted and consequently deleterious currents, and this while London—with more than double its wealth—has been draining year after year, up to the present hour, the filthy streams employed by its population both for the purposes of nutrition and sewerage ! Against the latter detestable system we have, again and again, argued, but hitherto, unhappily, without beholding any intimation of even a probable change for the better, either with or without the primary interfe rence of the Legislature. Within view of us, while we are writing, is the Thames reeking in summer heat with the execrable exhalations resulting from the perpetual it flux of the sewage of London and Westminster. Immediately under our window is an intramural graveyard, filled to very repletion with the decaying remains of the departed. Tide after tide stirs up the abominable refuse poured into theriver; month at ter month additional corpses are added to those already crowded into the graveyards. With these evidences of the melancholy system of indifference perceptible in regard to the sanitary reforms so long required, under our own immediate observation, and this more .ver uninterruptedly as it were, surely there can be no great marvel at our frequent and untiring allu sions to a matter which admits wi'h impunity of no procrastination or indifference. Until we p.rceive some beneficial charge actually accomplished, we shall nut cease to protest against the p•rpetustion of practices which we regard as detrimental, not only to the health, but to the morality also of the popula dot, of London and Westminster. Th• recent trial of J AM hS H UGGINS, at the Central Criminal C 'tut, for arson, and the attempt that sv , s made to set up lunacy as a defence, has again directed public attention to the very unsatisfictury state of our law in all that relates to lunatics, or alleged lunatics, or to pretended lunatics. We have frequently had occasion, and we fear we shall frtquently have occasion again, to direct public attention to the disgraceful state of the law as it effects persons not criminals, who are alleged to be lunatics. Oa the present occasion we would fain direct *he attention of our legislators, and more particularly of the law Bfficers of the Crown and the Home Secretary, to the equally un satisfactory state of the law as it regards the proof of lunacy when lunacy is set up as a defence to a criminal indictment, and the utter worthlessness of medical opinions as guides to the jury in their decision on such cases. This defective state of the law is clearly illustrated in this case of JAMES HUGGINS, who was tried and convicted of arson on Friday last, at the Central Criminal Court. JAMBS HUGGINS is 39 years of age, is a shrewd, sharp attorney, was possessed of considerable house property, and having purchased an old house and insured it for 1,5001., which was considerably more than its value, he, in the most artful manner possible, contrived a plan for the burn ing down of this house, so as to pocket the insurance money, which plan he was two months engaged in putting into e xecution,devising machines for facilitat ing the ignition and speedy destruction of the building, utterly regardless of the lives of his two servants, who were residing in it, and whom he seemed quite prepared to sacrifice, provided by such sacrifice he could put into his own pocket 1,5001. These facts are proved at the trial, they are not controverted by the prisoner or by his advisers; but it is considered that it is a sufficient answer to the indictment to say that the prisoner was not of sound mind at the time of and previous to the commission of the act, and to support this defence some witnesses were called who deposed to certain acts of eccentricity which any shrewd man contemplating crime might, and probably would, affect in order to lay the foundation ter a de ftnce, and several medical gentlemen who all declared that in their opinion the prisoner was of unsound mind, or on the verge of being of unsound mind, but none of whnm ventured to go the lengto of saving that the prisoner did not know right from wrong. Now we would most respectfully a. k any had all these witnesses whether, had not Mr. 1-Ivoonss placed his life in jeopardy by his criminal act, they would, any of them, have ventured even to hint an opinion that this shrewd attorney was of unsound mind. Most fortunate it is for them that they did n o t sa y on the 30th May (the day before the tire) of and concerning the mind of JAMNS HUGGINS those things which they said on the llthJuly, or moat assuredly they would each and every of them have been served with a writ in an action for defamation at the Wit of the said JAMES HUGGINS, who would (had the fire not happ ene d i n the interim) have recovered swingeing damages for the injury that such state ments were likely to occasion him in the practice of his _profession as an attorney. Fortunately, the jury were men of plain common sense, w ho could not be induced to believe on a medical authority that the commission of the crime charged was a proof of lunacy. Such, however, un happily is nut always the case, and we shall t oo often i find, u n til so me alteration takes place n the law, that i this d e f ence o f l unac y, which at present s always se t p up witho u t not i ce, wi ll en able many atrocious villai ns to escape r s the to us punishment thisahtma very simple due to their crimes. It appears simple alteration in the mode of cri m i na l procedure would e ffect a very great improveme n t in the law, and go far to remedy the evil of which we so justly complain. We would sug gest that a Bill Should be passed enacting that whenever it is inte n d e d on the Part rat up lunacy as a deform tb U•Cr f p risoner ! to WV dlOttnept) plea of lunacy must be pleaded in bar to the in dictment, that is to say, when the prisoner is calk' upon to plead guilty or not guilty, he shall plead lunacy, whereupon a jury shall be im- I pannelled to try the question—" Is the prisoner of sound mind ? ay or no," such question to be decided irrespective of the circumstances relating to the crime with which the prisoner is charged, and that if the jury find he is of sound mind he shall be called upon to plead to the indictment ; but that in no case after a prisoner has once pleaded to an indict ment shall it be competent fur the defence to raise the question of lunacy or no lunacy. By the adop tion of some such provision as this, the real lunatic would be more effectually protected, whilst the sham lunatic would not be permitted to escape from justice ; and we are satisfied that, ere long, the public safety will require the enactment of some such provision as that which we have suggested. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The Constitutionnel of Saturday contained the fol lowing announceinvnt It was announced last evening that General Bare guay is replaced in his command by General Castellane. General Carrelet is to resign the command of the first military division, arid replace General Gas tt Dane at Lyons. General Bareguty who is suffering from an aft c ion of the liver, is about to pro cet d to the ba:hs of Aix, in Savoy." General BARAGUAT D'HILLIERS gave a very dif ferent account of the reason of his dismissal. lie stated to stveral persons on Friday, that he had been dept iced of his commend I”,eause the PRESIDENT was &sir .us of conferring it on some G, , neral who wad not a Member of the As.einhly. This siatetnt-nt, which seemed to portend some ar riere pelagic on the part of the PRI•SIDENT, coupled the fact that General CASTEL LANE ii known to entertain the most supreme hatred and contempt not only for representative but for civil government, end that he is the reckless and unscrupulous partisan of the BONAPARTE family, caused great agitation iinicng trig Memh,rs of the Assembly, and they were preparing to adopt mea sures to counteract the p ens which they believed to be in preparation for their subjecion, when the ad visers of the lilpee became alarmed at the pchition in which they found themselves placed, and on StmdAy the appointment of General CASTELLANE was sus, pended ; this retrograde step cannot but be as da maging to the Bonapartist fraction of the reactionary party as is the failure of the fusion prof-ct to the Le gitimatists and Orleanists. It is almost certain that the Assembly wi►l reject the project for the revision of the Constitution. "1 he Ordre, which is the organ of MM. TRIERS and ODILON BARROT, gives the fol lowing as the unanimous decision of the Committee of revision. It say s— "lt is vai❑ that parties try to modify the sense and meaning of the declarations trade by Al. de Tocque ville in the name of the committee being all unanimous on the subject. From these clear and positive declara tions it results that in case the revision t,f the Con stitution be not voted the Constitution itself receives a new consecration, and that it must be invariably and universally obeyed. It is understood that all attempts having tor its object to incite the people in favour of un consti,utional candidates would not only be improper and irregular but culpable. It is understood that no person shall think, and that no person shall dare to say, that the National Assembly, the guardian of law, would quietly allow an) body under its eyes to carry the nation into such a new career of revolution and adventure. It is understood, in fine, that the duty of the Assembly, the sentiment of its responsibility, its interest, and it s honour, oblige it to defend the Constitution if violated. It is not only the six members opposed to the revision who speak thus alone, but along with them Messrs de Broglie, Berryer, Odilon Bsrrot, Montalembert, de Melon, Dufour, Corcelles, and Tocqueville. After so solemn a warning, can any one entertain the illusion that the Assembly would ratify an unconstitutional election? To push for such an election we cannot too often repeat would be to drive the country to civil war and to a revolution." Galignanes Messenger states that the PRESIDENT of the Republic, to wnom had been referred the mat ters in dispute between the United States and Por• tugal, has . juit given his award in favour of Portugal. The report of M. DE MELUN (du Nurd) on pki tions for the revision ut the Constitutiun was on Fri day distribu'ed to the Assembly. Annexed to this report is a table, arranged by departments, of the petitions which had been presented up to July 1 in clusively. Tne department of the Seine has sent a total of 37.881 signatures, crosses, and adhesions, of which 34 781 are tor the revision ; 2,206 of the revision and the prolongation, and 894 for the prolongation alone. The departments %hich have furnished the if re At,,t number of signatures are, the Meuse, 41 469; Cr , rentw Interieurt-, 41,136; and thw Cott ten,, 38.562.

The Mlrne has seat greatest number of unconstitutional petitions, the number of signatures b ing 18,751. Nev. to it comes the CO es du Nord, a hich butt tur• rnshed 7,298, and the Gironde 3,897. The committ.e proposes to set asid- b,f the previous qu.sfion all the un constitotiwisl n-titions, which bear 45 841 signatures.

DE FALLOUX had told the PRESI DENT of the Republic that it was his intention to use all his it.fluence to obtain the prolongation of his powers, is utterly destitute of foundation. The PRE SIDENT of the Republic has not, says the Patrie, even seen M. DE FaLnoux since the arrival of that gentle man in Pari-. Tne Patrie says :—" The seizure of a number of uniforms in the packages addressed to the Duke of BRUNSWICK, has been the subject of general conver sation, aid several journals have gone so far as to stare that interpellAtions would be put to the Govern ment on the subject. The following is the version of the affair, the correctness of which we can guarantee. It was so far back as 1832, that.the Duke of BRUNS WICK had these uniforms, to the number of about 6,000, made at Bordeaux. The Duke at that time hop.d to obtain the authorisation to assemble and equip an armed body, in order to recover his duchy. Not having succeeded in these attempts, and the French Government having sent him to the frontier for the fact, the Duke of BRUNSWICK had the uni forms brought to him at Paris, and afterwards sent them to London, wh ere they have ever since been lying. On returning to Paris, the Duke thought he might again have them sent here, in order to get rid of them, and it is during their passage that they have been seiv-d by the custom-house officers. If we are well informed, the Duke of BRUNSWICK now wishes to get rid of them at the best price he can obtain." BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, Jut? 12.

The Official Milan Gazette of the 7th publishes the regulations for the Free Port of Venice. The limits are declared to extend from the port of Mala mocco to the dyke of Garzina, near Sant 'Erasmo; the intermediate line is to be marked by coloured poles. Withi❑ these limits trade is to be perfectly free, and no customs' duties are to be levied upon any description of merchandise. There are to be cus tom-houses at Treporti, Mazzerbo, Campalto, Fusina, and San Pietro in Volta, forming a second line around the first. The intermediate space is to be the circon dario doganale, or territory of the customs. Vessels of all nations are free to enter the ports of Lido and Malemocco without paying customs' duties. Certain canals are pointed out, by which merchandise may be shipped to the main-land. Fishermen's boats may go to any spot of the mainland, if licensed, and not laden with goods. Salt, tobacco, nitre, and gun powder, being monopolies of the State, are not al low-d to be unshi l , ped within the precincts of the free port, except in the Custom-house.

The SOLICITOR•GENERAL commenced his reply this morning. (Before Vice-Chancellor TURNER ) 3tOORE V. PRANCE. This case, opened on Saturda), was proceeded will) this morning. Their are two suits in the case, the object of which is to have a deed delivered up which had been executed by the plaintiff, as it was alleged, merely to enable money to be raised. The defendant had required en apology to be made for observations of a personal nature, and a large body of evidence was gone into of a personal and irritating kind. BO W-STREET.-( THIS DAY.) - _ Frederick Banks was brought before Mr. Hail under these eireurn,tanee*:—Ab nt two o'clock yesterday the prisoner applied at the station-house, in Bow-street, and demanded to be taken into custody, on his own confes sion for havi❑g embezzled mo❑ey received on account of his employer, Mr. Smith, of Long-acre, provision mer cha❑t. It appeared that only three weeks ago he had sur rendered himself with a similar confession, at the same police station, but on that occasion Mr. Smith declined to prosecute. The prosecutor now stated that after the prisoner was discharged he (Mr. Smith) took him back into bis ser vice as traveller, in the hope that the shame he had brought upon himself would be a lesson to him, and that he would not be guilry of any further dishonesty; but the prisoner kept back several payments since bis brief return to his employment. He was not at that moment pr«pared with an account of the sums em b zzled, but he would on Thursday produce them and some of the customers who had mole payments, if the magistrate put off the case until then. Mr. Hall accordingly remanded the prisoner to Thursday next. MA RLBRO'-STREE r —(THIS DAY). tqNGULAR CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—Maria Stewart, a s,ed W 1.1111311, proprietress of what is called a " gay house, " 13, Buchinghani-street, Fitz oy square, was broughtbefo-0 Mr. Loog, charged with stealing a silver watch, b•lonving to George Vivian, Marlborough , place, and, r the following circumstancws : It appear, (I, Rost the cottfustd statement made by the prosecutor, that between ten and a Leven last night he ac oomparitel a frannle tot he house of the prisoner, and was shown into a bed-room, where, after stopping for a few minutes, the prise ner came into the room, and went up to a I onion of his clothinz, of which he had divested him self, and which wait laying on a crair, by the bedside, and vegan fumbling about the pocke s. Ile called out, '6 Pull, what do you want ?" when she replied," I am only come for my attire which I left t,n the mantle-piece." She then left, the route, and on pr, secutor feeling in his waistcoat p cket he missed his watch. He then went out and tetched a constable, and gave her in charge. Police constable 100 C said, at the request of the pro secutor he went to No. 13, Buckingham-street, where be saw the prisoner, who, on being told the nature of the charge against her, produced the watch, and said she had lent the prosecutor 10s. upon it, as be had no money t o pay the lady he had been with, and she was quite ready to give it up upon his giving her the 10s. she had lent him. The prosecutor denied having borrowed the money, and witness took the prisoner into custody. The prosecutor appeared to have been drinking. The prisoner, in defence, raid the statement she made to the constable was quite true, and she had fire wit nesses to prove it. In reply to Mr. LONG, the prosecutor said he gave the female whom he had been with a half soverei, l n, and if he did receive any money from the prisoner he was nut aware of it. Kate Beacham said she occupied apartments in the pri soner's house. On the previous night the prisoner met her and asked her to allow him to go borne with her; she did so, and he promised to give her 10s. After remain ing with her about an hour, he felt in his pocket, and said he had left his purse at home, and would call and pay her to-morrow. She told him that would not do, and then sent for her landlady (the prisoner), who, at his request, lent him 10s, upon his watch, and gave him a written paper to the effect that when he paid the 103, the watch should be delivered to him. He took the money and gave it to witness, and then left the house; but in a short time he came back and gave prisoner in charge for stealing his watch. Other witnesses having corroborated the evidence of last witness, Mr. LONG said it was unnecessary to go on with the case any further; he was of opinion the prisoner lent him the money, and should therefore discharge her, and prosecutor paid her the lots. lent upon it. a t E h z e z w :E t s e t h Ex t r il . i —James Jones was dir c ec n t l ed ßG h E er to oE keep charged before Mr. Long with having embezzled several sums of money received for and on account of his em ployer, Mr. Constantine, the well-known artificial fieuriste of Regent-s reef. Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, attended for the prose cution, and said there were at least 50 cases against the prisoner, but at present he was not prepared to go into them all. There were two cares complete, one for receiving from the Countess Grey the sum of 21. 1 ls. ti,.d from Mrs. Munday the sum of 51. 18s., while he had converted to his osn use, and not accounted for to the prosecutor: Atter evidence had biarn heard in proof of his statement he should et-lc for a remand. Earl Grey's steward and Mr. Munday's butler pro• duced the bills and receipts for the sums they had paid , 0 the prisoner, who receipted the bills in his own name. jhe triandwriGng of the prisoner was identified by the prosecutor. oe pi t,uner, who admitted his guilt, was remanded for a week. Batt was applied for, but refused. The amount emb , zzled by the prisoner was stated to be over 3001.

No less than 138,448 patients bad participated in the benefits of the charity since its commence ment, and the increasing requirements of the community demanded its prosperity, alike for the many afflicted indi viduals depending on its bounty, as for the instruction of those devoting their talents and energies to the healing art.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at hem 5,000 to 6 000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 100 Egyptian, at 64d. to lid ; and 200 burst, at 31 to aid. per lb. The market, was quiet but steady, at previous ratee.—ln Railway Shares only a limited business was done at lower rates. The marked apathy on the part of the public which, for some time pest, has prevailed in respect to Bailee) , Shares is, as the customary sequel of undue excitement, in some respects explicable. Extremes, however, may exist either way, and we apprehend that many shares now are as ceueelessly depteseed as they were before advanced. Dividends are, after all, the true test, and a fair coneideration of future prospects shoutd, in addition, eetermine present values. Messrs. J. S. Tripp and Co., in a circular just issued, estimate the dividend for the fi.st halt of this ear, at the rate per cent, per annum of 2 per cent. on East Lancaehire, 3 per cent. on Gr Northern, 4} per cent. on Great Western, 5i per cent. o eat n North-Western, 3} on Brighton, 2 on Michaud, 3 OL. South Eastern, anti 3i on York and Berwick. The last six we. Ice of the belf-year ending June, 1851, justifies the belief of increased divide nds heretef er The London and Nor h-Western take the lead, and East Lancashire, Great Western, &c., are to be included. The only reason we can assign fur the great depres sion of the Railway Share mat ket is, that people have not recovered Irene the frieht of the recent fall, and as is u , ually the case, the public prefer buy ing on a risin g to a falling maiket. It has been stated that the large quantity of shares still in pawn bangs as a nightmere on the merket, and prevents any improvement in prices— that immediately upon a rise this stuck is poured upon the market. Now if this were really so, we should find the contangos on the account days increase; i. e., the rate of interest charged for loans upon shares would be higher, but the reverse is the tact, for scarcely at any moment could money be raised upon shares with greater facility or at more moderate rates than at the present time, and we are assured that, at Liverpool the facilities for borrowing money on railway shares are even greater than here, from which we conclude there is no probability of any amount of stock coming on the market at present prices; and we believe that when the halt-yeterly accounts are published, and the favourable results of the last half-year's working become known, capitalists will be induced to purchase at present prices, when a smart improvement must t* , How. There is another important feature which must not be lo.t eight of, viz., the decrease in railway calls. Touching, therefore, present values, thero are no secu• ritiea so convertible as railways share that offer an equal immediate or prospective return to the capitalist. Take, for instance, the London and North-Western with a reserve fund in hand of 151 2911., with a dividend just due of 21 per cent., and another oividend due in six months heace of 3 per cent, at least, together amounting to 51. 15e., which the ;resent purchaser will receive within six months from the date of his investment, and he will then be the holder of a stock which will subse quently pay him a minimum dividend of 6 per cent., with a prospect of a gradual rise to 10 per cent. We are therefore decidedly of opinion that the prices of railway shares are now too low. Granted that there are parties who, at the first consi derable advance, are waiting to realize, yet the capitalist must bear in mind that next year there will be no rail way calls to effect the market—the wealth of the coun try will be corsiderably augmented by the railways being nearly all completed and returning dividends, avid eba there will be no other investment of sufficient matt niturte, excepting our railways, that will yield a safe anti profitable return, that can carry off the enormous cur plus capital of heat year, which we estimate will be at least equal to forty millions sterling. With consols above PM., which next year will be the case, it is non sense to suppose that ra;levay property will not be in re quest. For Wheat prices are steady to-day. Oats are Lower. The express in anticipation of the overland mail ha+ arrived, but ihe lettera are nit yet in town.
