In comparing it with the weekly deaths in 1640, it must he borne in mind that the metropolis in creases nearly two per cent. annually ; and that, if the population had been the same in 183$ as in 1840, the deaths would have been 1-27th part more numerous.

THE PUGNACIOUS PIEMAN.—On Friday, a person of the name of Rogers, an itinerant vender of pies in the Borough-market; appeared upon a summons before Sir John Cowan, at the Town-hall, Southwark, charged with having assaulted Liddle, the beadle of the market, under the following circumstances. After Liddle had stated his complaint, Sir John called on the pieman to justify his conduct. The defendant, who pos sessed a most extraordinary volubility of tongue, said that he bad been a housekeeper in the parish for seven years, five cut of which he had served all the persons, with the exception of a few of the nobs (Con servatives), with pies. To those parties he had made him self obnoxious, and the result was be was being eon ' tinually pelted with rotten apples and other missiles. Sir J. Cowan.—No doubt your conduct has been the cause of your being disliked. Defendant.—The cause is this : I suffered myself, some time back, to be drawn over by the Radical party to oppose Church-rates, and ever since then I have been opposed in the market. Sir John Cowan.—You have told me a very long story without saying one single word as to the assault. Defendant—The complainant assaulted me first, by trying to job out my eye with his staff. He was drunk at the time. Sir John Cowan—You will find bail, ...nd then a Jury will be enabled to decide as to whether you were in the right or not. Defendant—Oh, that I can do—for I am an honest, sober, hard working man. I have been 25 years in the army, and in possession of a pension —besides, I maintain that under the King's proclamation I have a right to stand and sell my goods in any city, town, or market-place the same as if I was free of such places. Mr. Ramsdell.—The Market Committee has nothing to do with any party ; he was one of the most violent men in the market, and his conduct is such that they are determined to put an end to his nuisance. Sir John Cowan—He bas shown his violence quite suffi ciently here : therefore he finds bail to answer the charge unault at th,...iest>iclis. zeb,lert. , l hail; which Wog accepted, he, along with hi 3 friend`:, la* the office: ller Majesty's Plate of 100 guineas ; for three-yr-olds, 7st 91b ; four years, 9st ; five years, 9st 9lh ; six years and aged, 10,4.

The Commissioners appointed by the Court arrived this morning, after having effected the exhumation. Large quantities of chlorate were poured out round the grave before it was opened. The coffin was little more than three feat below the surface, and, when opened, the body presented a hideous spectacle, and so much decom posed that, instead of the usual iastruments, it was ne cessary, in order to take from it what was wanted, to use a spoon, which was sent for from the village. -This species of paste, rather than flesh, was put into earthen pots, to be brought to Tulle. On their ar rival, the chetaistsplaced their alembics on the road which surrounds the Palais de Justice. Five or six furnaces were ranged in a circle, and supplied with charcoal from an enormous brazier, which was kept constantly at a red beat. The heights which commanded this extra ordinary scene were crowded with spectators, looking on the operations of this laboratory in the open air, but they were hindered by a dense and fcetid vapour from seeing much of what was going on. The odour emitted was so powerful that, at the afternoon sitting, it was thought it would be impossible to remain in Court. The Court presented a most singular aspect. Every one was holding a handkerchief to the nose with one band, and a smelling-bottle in the other. It is said that upwards of 500 smelling-bottles were sold in the course of the day. At half-past eight the Judges took their seats, and the prisoner was introduced. Soon after the Commissioners enured in Court, and the The proces-verbal of the exhumation was read, the parts brought away duly verified, and the Commis sioners, having been sworn, retired to make the analysis. M. Buffiere was then called, and deposed that in December M. Laffarge, being then in Paris, he believed it was on the 19th, seat for him. M. Laffarge com plained of pains in his stomach, but had no vomitings He talked of a cake be bad received from his wife, and read the letter she had sent with it. The letter men tioned but one cake. The prisoner repeatedly affirmed that she bad put in four or five cakes, wrapped up like oranges, and to in dicate their size joined her hands. She also insisted that they were not put into a small box. She asked M. Buffiere if he remembered that part of the letter which related to her sister, and on his answering in the negative expressed her surprise. The Advocate-General observed that her sister was not then Paris. Madame Laffarge replied that she had every reason to believe that her sister was in Paris, as M. Laffarge had written to say that she was shortly expected from Dourdan. M. Paillet read a letter to this effect from M. Lai. farge, dated December 3, and observed that it could never be believed that his client could have wished to destroy her own sister. Clementine Servat, the prisoner's femme de chambre, deposed that she lived with Madame Laffarge before her arrest, and was still in her service. She stated that arsenic had been several times purchased by order of M. Laffarge himaelf, for the purpose of destroying the rats. As soon as the last parcel, bought by Denis, arrived, it was given to Madame Laffarge, who imme diately called the witness, and gave it to her, with or ders to prepare it immediately, to be very careful with it, and take it at once down stairs. On being ques tioned as to the cakes, Clementine declared that they were made by Madame Laffarge (the mother), and that she (the witness) went into the kitchen several times while they were baking. They were the small cakes called eheux, square in shape when made, but in baking the corners became rounded, and the cakes puffed up. They were brought by little Mdlle. BufHere. This witness was examined at great length ; her evi dence, on the whole, was in favour of her mistress's innocence. At this stage of the proceedings, the smell arising from the operations of the chemists became so dreadful, that every person was compelled to have recourse to a smelling-bottle. Madame Laffarge was so affected by the smell that M. Paillet was compelled to sollcit that the sitting might be adjourned till the next day, but The Advocate-General objected. The next witness called was Alfred Moutardier, for merly valet-de-chambre of M. Laffarge, aged 19. He said .Five or six days after the arrival of my master he complained that the rats came and drank his tisane, and arseuic was asked for, and, as it was given to Madame before him ;he asked three times to see it. Madame then showed it to him, and he gave it to me to mix up for the rats ; another time also I mixed some. I heard that Denis had said Madame ought to be sawed into four parts, and that if she would not go to the scaffold he would send her there. By the President—You have sail that M. Laffarge complained of the rats drinking his tisane. It is as tonishing that a man on his dust h-bed should make such an observation ? A. He did snake it.—Q. You say you gave the parcel to Clementine to mix it, up for the rats ? A. Yes ; but there was not timr, for Aldlle. Clementine took a bath in the evening. She put it into a paper and placed it in an old hat, where I found it, and told Bardon to bury it in the garden ?—Q. Why did you conceal it ? A. My intention was not to conceal it, but I hardly knew what I did. The witness was again asked whether he persisted in the declaration which be had made as to the language which he said bad been held by Denis against Madame Laffarge, and reminded by the Avocat-General of the danger which be run if it should be proved that he had sworn falsely. He was also asked if he had not been incited to invent what. the Avocat-General called this fable. The wit ness declared that he had spoken the truth, and had , been incited by nobody. Gabriel Dupuy, a shoemaker of Uzerches, was next called, but he merely deposed to hearsay conversations. His evidence had no real bearing on the case, except as to his stating that M. Laffarge having called upon him on his returning from Paris, and owing him money, ha asked for it, when M. Laffarge said be had brought 25,000 francs with him. M. Paillet remarked as follows on this evidenee:—" It is true that in virtue of the unlimited procuration given by Madame Laffarge to her husband he had borrowed 25,000 f. at Soi4sons, which were seen at Uzerches, but were ❑ot found at Glandier. What is become of this sum ? This is one of the mystories of the affair. In the meantime, thanks to the signatures given by Ma dame Laffaze to her husband, the whole of her patri ninny has been devoured. The mother of M. LAffarge was now recalled. The Advocate-General—Do you know whether M. Laffarge brought 25.000 f. to Glandier? A.—My son brought to Glandier one of those portmanteaus call d saucissons, and told me to send the money for some pro tested bills, and that there were 3,900 f. Some questions were then asked of this witness about the arsenic. She said that the rats at Glandier were not numerous ; that they had ry'ver been seen up stairs ; that her son had not complained of them ; and that arsenic had never before been employed there by him for the purpose of destroying rats. Francois Faugeras, a servant, stated that during the illness of M. Laffurge he went to his room, wishing to see him, but was twice refused admittance by Clemen tine and Alfred. The cook having said to him that there was too much arsenic in the house, the witness mentioned the subject to Alfred, who said it was unfor tunate that the arsenic had been discovered, and threat ened to drown himself. The witness then lived with M. Buffiere. Joseph Astier, an outdoor servant, corroborated the last witness's statement as to the prevalent rumour that poison had been administered to M. Laffarge, and that the dying man himself supected foul play. Oa Mdlle. Buffiere being asked by the President whether she was a relation of the prisoner, she replied, " No, I am the sister of her victim !” The Court then adjourned till the following day. SITTING OF SEPT. 9.—SEVENTH DAY. The examination of Mdlle. Buffiere was resumed, When we acquainted my brother with our suspicions, he put his hand on his breast, and said he had taken too much, and was a dead man, and entreated his mother and myself not to leave him. On the eve of his death, being alone with the prisoner in the room, M. Laffarge desired that a leech, which had been applied to his neck, might be taken off. The witness went to get a little salt to make it do so. In the meantime the pri soner went to pull the leech off with her fi ngers, b ut the deeeased seized her hand, rejecting it with a look of reproach. t Two days after the death of her brother, the witness, being in the room of the prisoner, wino was in bed, was lamenting his death, and saying that his for tune and his patent were of no valuo to her w i t h out h im U pon this the prisoner, sitting up, s a id, i n an imperious. tone , " You have no need to trouble , i y . : a o v u e rself about that ; The bprisonerCharles h declareda has provided a t t she l la t-h had no recollection .' of any such occurrence.

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We kayo no hesitation, however, in saying that there is as member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such perion to hold the relation et a PA RENT. a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth muck more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue te guide him through the intricate 'mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rea ..ause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at ones concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here bo directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow frees them, if not relinquished.

The bubble has burst : the winner of the Oaks is not to start for the Leger—and the heavy betters p. p. against the filly may pay or levant as their consciences or pockets dictate. It is agreeable to notice the cool way in which the public were made cognizant of the fact of her not starting. We quote front the (yjicial article from Tattersall's :-- " Thursday was the last public betting day in town, and it proved a very important one to those whose spe culations have comprehended Crucifix : she broke down in her gallop in the morning, and was declared not to start before business commenced. Few will be surprised at this, as the betting for some time past has been calcu lated to engender doubts as to her reaching Doncaster the public are sufferers to a large amount." The foregoing is from the pen of a careful and prac tised writer, yet mark his words—" Few are to be sur prised at THIS (i. c. at Crucifix breaking down), as the betting for some time past has been calculated to en gender doubts as to her reaching Doncaster." The betting might indicate that she was not meant to reach Doncaster, but could not show that she was likely to break down, which at the utmost must be a casualty beyond any man's foresight to discover. Crucifix was in training at John Day's, at Dancberry, near Stock bridge ; was seen on Wednesday (9th September, 1840), " ready to start out of her skin"—we quote our informant's words ; and again on Thursday morning, before her gallop, in the same form. About noon on that day it was made known at the Grosvenor Arms, Stockbridge, that " the mare had broken down in her morning's gallop, with John Day on her back, and that her chance was up." Lord George Bentitick, the pro prietor of Crucifix, had been at his trainer's house for some days, and departed by the twelve o'clock train from the Andover Road station, avowedly to convey the sad intelligence to Tattersall's. Everything has tended to increase the amount of the bets against Crucifix. A respected Contemporary an nounced as the rumour (which was current in the vici nity of the stable), that young Jokn Day was sweating to ride her, and that a two pound saddle was made for him. In the same Journal we read that if she "be found fit to go to the post and carries off the Great St. Leger Stakes, the consequences will be most awful," and that Lord George backed the ware on Friday at 14 to 1, to the extent of two hundred pounds ! (Enor mous y is et L c o o r n d s s i h d i e p r , s t while hec e e s f e farels f t r h o e m odds v o l e u s g s h .! t t be e mous !) " A pretty strong indication (says the writer) that i gr e a don't think this sop to takers any indication at all ; it rdlglit be given merely " to keep the game alive," if we may use that homely expression ; and as it appears to ug, every thine has been done in that spirit, and that spirit only. When there were no takers at Bto 1, of ferers were found to increase at larger sums. What matters it whether a man bets 10 or 100 to 1, if he is sure HE HAS IN HIS OWN HANDS THE CERTAINTY OF WINNING HIS BETS BY THE WITHDRAWAL OF HIS HORSE ? Is a horse publicly in the betting, and publicly betted upon by her owner, so exclusively his property, that he may do what be likes with his own P We maintain not; it cannot be reconciled to reason that any man should make a bet with the power of winning it when and how he pleases. A possesses a mare, backs it for the sake of appearacees, but employs B to bet 5,000 to 500 against her with C ; that and similar bets being made, A draws her, and reduces the thing to a certainty. Is this sporting ? And yet if the right of withdrawal with out cause be admitted, this may perpetually recur. Sup posing another case : That A had betted on a mare heavily—say to the amount of 20,0001.—is it not mon strous that he alone should have the power of getting out, by counter-bets made on the certainty of the mare's not going at all ? It is far from an exaggeration to say, that one hun dred thousand pounds have been laid out one way and the other about Crucifix ; and, as the writer of the Tattersall's article quietly says, " the public are suffer ers to a large amount." No doubt of it; but there ne ver was victim without persecutor—debtor without cre ditor—or loser lacking winner. Now, who are the winners l'—who are the lucky people who foresaw this break down, and changed Crucifix's station from 8 to 1 to 25 to 1? Racing prophets are at present plentiful, but this comes under the head of racing profits with a vengeance. Our readers will recollect that Crucifix was drawn for the Drawing -room Stakes at Goodwood, being amiss. We then wrote as follows :—" "Would it be too much to ask, where so much money depends, that a com petent Committee should be appointed to exa mine " dead amiss" nags ; and ought any Ho nourable man to object to such an examina tion ?" We repeat now what we then said—Cnuciyix SHOULD BE SEEN ; the ipse disit of John Day, or, if he pleases, that of Lord George Bentinck, will probably not satisfy the sporting world. For his own sake the noble owner is bound to show that Crucifix is really unfit to go, and to show also that the instant this fact became apparent to him, he communicated it to the public. The enormous fluctuation in the betting makes the whole affair pregnant with suspicion. We are old enough to remember the heir apparent of the throne being driven from the turf ; it was a wholesome and necessary example, and exists as an example in ter rorem to extensive ryeculators. We never do bet, we never have betted one guinea upon any race, and speak merely for the sake of the public —" the sufferers to a large amount." We think this a case to make a stand upon. Lord George Bentinck de clined settling at Tattersall's when doubtful as to the pedigree of Bloomsbury—he need not bo surprised if he find persons unwilling to pay until satisfied as to the state of Crucifix. This is not a paltry Hampton affair, but a thing that may—in souse cases must— prove ruinous in its result. Throughout Stockbridge we hear but one opinion (and we state this on the authority of a well known correspondent), and that opinion is, that the mare is NOT " AMISS." The batting men hissed poor Ephraim Bond out of the Doncaster rooms about Ludlow. We are no ad vocates for hissing, but we are fir speaking, and speak ing out too. Let losers pause and demand an inquiry. The certificate of two first-rate veterinary surgeons should be obtained, specifying the nature of the injury, and whether it is of an utterly disqualifying character. This doctrine may be unpopular, but we know it is honest ; if this be done now, a death blow will be dealt to the ever-recurring principle of withdrawals at the eleventh hour. The inhabitants living in the vicinity of the Old Quay at Lane aster, were thrown into an unwonted state of activity and excitement, early on Sunday morning last, by the vagaries of a large sea monster, which was jump ing about and spouting out jets of water in the river Lune, a little below the Old Bridge. As soon as it got suffi ciently light, all who could lay their hands on a gun were firing away as fast as they could get reloaded, and the owners of boats, armed with harpoons, lances, and scythes, were laying in wait for him in all directions, to give him a warm reception as soon as he should show himself above water. After about three hours' hunting, he was shot in the head by a marksman posted at the Old Bridge, when he immediately spouted an immense jet of blood, and a man being near at the same time in a boat, struck him with a harpoon, and after some little further trouble he was landed, and proved to be a large specimen of tho Del phinus Terlio, measuring about twelve-and-a-half feet in length, and weighing fifteen cwt., a fi s h w hose appearance in our latitude is a very rare occurrence ; indeed, we learn from a gentleman deeply read in natural history, that there are only some four or five instances on record of this fish having been seen in England, two of which have been taken near Lancaster, the one under notice, and another some years ago, in Morecambe Bay. —Preston Pilot.

EVENING EDITI Madame Marie Laffarge denied ever having used a such threat. Marie Aime Emma Pouthier, aged niueteen, was th, next witness. She was afterwards interrogated by the President, who asked—Did not the prisoner attempt to give a lesson to her femme de chambre as to ,chat she was to say ? A. Marie asked her one day, vrhem she saw that she was under accusation, what she had u ''ino with the arsenic.—Q. Did she seek to give a lesson . 1 110 her as to her evidence ? A. No. I merely heard her" once say, " It is dreadful you do not say the same thing twice."—Q. Did she add," It is different with Alfred ?' A. Perhaps, but I do not recollect.—Q. Did you not take a box from the apron of the prisoner ? A. In the evening of the death of M. Lafarge I saw in her apron a black agate box. I was a little astonished, I bad seen such strange things the evening before. I bad seen Mdlle. Brun looking into a bottle, and the mother of M. Laffarge, who had a wild air. I asked Clementine what there was in this box. She reviled, " It is Madame's gum." I took a little, and gave it to M. Fleignat, telling him at the same time that I found it at my mamma's. I would not tell him that I had taken it from Mad. Laffarge.—Q. Had M. Laffarge been ill when you arrived at Glandier ?—A. I arrived on the 11th, and he had arrived on the 3d.—Q. Yeu passed the night with him. Did you see the prisoner give him any white powder on the night of the 11th ? You saw her drink water in a glass from which M. Laffarge bad drunk; did he do so without reluctance ?A. Yes.—Q. She gave you some of her hair to put into the hand of her husband ?A. Yes.---Q. Did you not say to her, "If you have anything to conceal, arsenic for instance, give it to me?" A. I did not speak to her of arsenic ; I asked her if she had any letters that sbe did not wish seen, and offered to take charge of them. I acted in this only according to the advice of M. Fleignat. The President—l thought in a moment of excitement you had said, " Confide to me anything which could compromise you ?" A. Poisoning wits talked of. I said to her, " Cakes are talked of." She replied, "It is absurd." I then said, " But there is a simple means; it is to show the letter in which you announce the send ing of the cakes." I then took her a packet of letters, and we examined them, but found nothing. I then ob served that she had perhaps others, and, in fact, found some in an ebony secretaire, and on the table near the piano. _ _ _ President—You have been twice examined, and you have never before spoken of the box or the letters ? A. It is true. The deposition of this witness, who is a handsomer young female, was g i ven w i t h propr i ety, an d exc i ted in- pleasing rse f r iend g m e i smiles appeared upo upon nher he r t h o if h as e face ea happy nu d ,sth f a m i ly, that evi dence and theree in terest. e Madamerem a inedwer proc ee d e d. ci t p o l e h as Le After the ex am i na ti on o f some other witnetes, from whom n o thi ng mater i al was el i cited, it was announced to the Court th a t th e c h em i sts appointed to perfoun the experiments nec essar y t o en li g h ten the tribunal as to those.which h a d a l rea d y b een performed, were ready to e rt er make their report ; they were accordingly introduced. A profound silence now pervaded the Court, and M. Dupuytren, brother of the late celebrated physician of that name, read the report in the nante of the commis mission of which he formed part. The report com menced by stating that the commission had operated first upon two-thirds of the liver, weighing, when dried, 120 grammes, 60 of which wets dissolved in pure azotic acid, which was heated and evaporated until a friable spongy charcoal, weighing 21 grammes, had been obtained, which was pulverized and placed in a glass vessel with 90 grammes of distilled water. This it as allowed to macerate for a whole night, aid on the following day was put into a small retort and boiled for an hour. The liquid was then filtered, and the re sult was a brown liquid, to which was added sulphydrio acid, sharpened by a few drops of clorhydric acid, which formed a brown precipitate, soluble in ammonia. When acted upon by the ammoniacal sulphate of cop per there was a green colour; by neutral nitrate of silver there was a yellow precipitate; and the same re sult ensued from the action of ammoniacal nitrate. of silver. All these precipitates become brown in a short time, and formed a new brown precipitate. The re port then proceeds a s f o ll ows :—" W e su b mi tted this liquid to the teat of the apparatus of Marsh. Whilst this was doing, some of the chemists fancied that they recognised for an instant a slight garlic (arsenical) odour ; others did not perceive it ; some obtained a brilliant brown stain eafiuitely slight. Dissolved in azotic acid it gave no brick-red colour by ammoniacal nitrate of silver. We operated upon a portion of the stomach, heart, intestines, brain, bladder, and lungs, with distilled water, and for this purpose boiled the whole, cut into very small pieces, for six hours, renew. ing the water as it evaporated. When cold it was I filtered, and the filtered liquid was evaporated until dry. What remained in this state was divided into two por tions, one of which, weighing seven grammes, was heated with 31 grammes of azotic acid, as in our first experie merit. The charcoal which resulted wits exposed for an hour to the action of boiling distilled water, end the filtered liquor was submitted to the same tests as for the first operation by Marsh's apparatus, and we did not obtain any trace of arsenic." Whilst M. Dupuytren was reading this report, a breathless attention was fixed upon him, every word was caught with eagerness, end even his looks were scrutinised ; but no sooner had he pronounced the words announcing that no arsen ic had been found, than l o ud b ra v os were u t tere d i n every part of the Court. It is impossible to describe the effect which they produced. Almost every female present was in tears, and many men displayed their glad eizio tion in a similar way. The countenance of Madame Laffarge during the reading of the report, was constantly calm, and her emotion was not displayed by any ex ternal sign, except a melancholy sort of smile, which looked more like resignation than joy. M. Dupaytren then proceeded—" W e formed a new precipitate with suiphydric acid, sharpened with a few drops of chlorydic aeid, and filtered. The precipitate which remained was dissolved in water, slightly ammoniacal, and then evaporated to dryness. The result was mixed with an equal weight of black flux, and placed in a reducing tube. We heated this to a red heat without obtaining any incrustation of metallic arsenic." The report was signed by Messrs. Dubois, sen. and jun., chemists of Limoges ; M. Dupuytren, chemist of Limoges ; M. Lespinatz, physician of Lubersac ; M. Massenet, phy sician of Paris ; M. Tournadour, physician of Uzerches ; M. Lafasse, jun. of the same place, chemist; and Messrs. Filial, Pages, and Bori, chemists of Tulle. The Advocate-General put some questions to the chemists. M. Dubois in reply, said, " Let the most celebrated chemists be employed. Enough of the body remains to convince the most incredulous." M. Lospinatz declared that as a physician he had be lieved there wa, poison, but as a chemist he had not dis covered any. He acknowledged his ignorance of the new process which had been used. M. Massenat also confessed that he had been in error. M. Paillet observed—The liver, the bowels, the lungs, the bladder, the stomach, every matter that it contained, and had been vomited from it, have been analyzed. I cannot, therefore, camprehend how any doubt can be loneer entertained as to the non-existence of poison. The Advocate-General nevertheless maintained that the evidence against the prisoner was still strong, and he should not abandon the prosecution. The Court adjourned at halt-past six. Soon after it was announced that the Court had ordered that further experiments should be performed by chemists of Paris. A letter from T u ll e , wr it ten on Th urs d a y morning, says—" Each of the chemists and physicians has beep questioned by the Advocate-General.A telegrap hic . despatch has be en s e n t t o P ar is l e r the threw chem i sts appoiuted by the Court to make the final experiments:' ENGINE DRIVERS.—There can be no doubt that great improvements still remain to be effected in the mechanical arrangements of railways, which will greatly reduce the probabilities of accidents ; but these can only be determined by experiment and practice. There is, however, an improvement, apart from the mechanism of the system, respecting which there can scarcely be two opinions, and it might be com mence d w i thout delay. We refer to the men who have the management of the trains. An engineer, or engine -driver as he is termed, who has in his charge the lives of hundreds, and in soma instances of thousands of passengers, ranks now in the scale of society not higher than a stage-coachman. So It as this re sponsible office is thus placed beneath the consideration of men of character and education, it canaot be expected that persons properly fitted for the discharge of its duties can be obtained. Improvements in the machinery of railways will be of little avail unless they be accompanied by an altered system in the appointment of the men who conduct the engines. Another accident recorded this week on the Hull and Selby Railway, shows that the safety of the pas sengers on that line depends entirely oa the discretion of the engineer in regulating the speed which brings the train to the end of its journey. No mechanical contriv ance can he invented as a substitute for knowledge, judg ment, and good conduct, and the best means of obtaisisnge those essential requisites in an engineer, is to make _b_ . importance and emoluments of the office equal to its re sponsibilities.
