litbitiu. The Human Hair, Popularly and Physiologically Considered. By Alexander Rowland. London : • Piper Brothers. It was said of Swift, that so fecund was his genius that he could write a tome upon a broom-stick ! but here we have got a volume of some hundred pages upon the subject of the human hair ! This book is, without exception, the best we have ever seen upon such a subject, and must have cost the author infinite pains, and no small modicum of patience, in the preparation. The physiological structure of the hair—the distin guishing characteristics of that of various races—the fashions adopted by various countries with regard to it—the diseases to which it is subject, &c., &c., are all duly and admirably dilated upon, and a host of authorities are quoted, which certainly give to the work a claim to erudition. A num ber of engravings and coloured plates, illus trating the anatomy of this human tegument, not only beautify the work, but make it far more inter esting and instructive. We do not look for literary perfection in a book treating of such a topic, and therefore feel disposed to pass over silently any trifling blemishes that attract our attention. We are happy to say, however, that the defects are " few and far between," and are considerably more than compensated for, by the excess of excellencies which pervades it. The author thus introduces his subject:— "The hair of the head among all nations, civilized and savage, ancient and modern, has ever been considered an ornament to the person, and its healthy preservation and orderly arrangement have usually occupied a considerable share of attention. Luxuriant and tastefully arranged hair certainly ands a peculiar degree of style, elegance, and finish to the features of the female face, and excites admiration in the most casual observer, and a due regard to the trim and appearance of this appendage to the human fate, is not out of place even in the opposite sex : for all should cultivate and preserve the gifts with which Heaven in its good provi dence has seen fit to adorn the person. "The hair has met with little consideration from the scientific world, and few works have been written on the subject, whilst the most trivial things have furnished matenats tor elaborate treatises and learned discussions ' • it cannot, therefore, be deemed out of place, that one of the most prominent characteristics of the human countenance should be investigated and popularized, so as to render its properties and purposes better understood by the many thousands to whom a fine head of hair is justly an object of solicitude. Having for more than half a century devoted myself specially to the consideration of the various peculiari ties of the hair, and the best means of improving it; I trust I shall be able to offer much useful information and advice to the notice of the reader, and present at the same time, a popular, interesting, and readable book." There can be no doubt but that the human hair is a very fit subject for investigation—and that a " popular, interesting, and readable book," there upon, which the author here assuredly gives to the public, is greatly to be desired. It is a subject upon which the generality of people know little, but require to know much. However, all essential information is here succintly conveyed, and in a telling manner, which instructs whilst it amuses. Our author devotes one chapter in vindication of the beard and hirsute adornment, or what is vulgarly called " the moustache movement," admi rably characterised by Madame Pultzky as a " manly appendage." We own, like other literary aspirants, to having a penchant for such an adorn ment—pray excuse us, reader, if your better judg ment leads you to think otherwise. However, hear what Mr. Rowland says on the matter : "It may be safely argued, as a general physiological prin ciple, that whatever evinces a free and natural development of any part of the body is by necessity beautiful. Deprive the lion of his mane, the cock of its comb, the peacock of the emerald plumage of its tail, the ram and deer of their horns, and they not only become displeasing to the eye, but lose much of their power and vigour. And it is easy to apply this reasoning to the hairy ornaments of a man's face. The caprice of fashion alone forces the Englishman to shave off those appendages which give to the male countenance that true masculine character indicative of energy, bold daring, and decision. " The presence or absence of the beard as an addition to the face, is the most marked and distinctive peculiarity between the countenance of the two sexes. Who can hesitate to admire the noble countenance of the Osmanli Turk of Constantinople, with his un-Mongolian length of beard ? Ask any of the fair sex whether they will not approve and admire the noble countenance of Mehemet Ali, Major Herbert Edwards, the hero of the Punjaub, Sir Charles Napier, and others, as set off by the beard ?—We may ask with Beatrice 'What manner of man is he ? Is his head worth a hat, or his chin worth a beard ? ' --1 -r to, most eminent physicians and merchants encroaching upon their former narrow boundaries, while it is well known that not a few of our divines have been long convinced of the folly of disobeying one of nature's fixed laws ; but hitherto, their unwillingness to shock the prejudice of their congre gations, have prevented them from giving effect to their convictions." Then, as to the beneficial effects of wearing the same, he observes : g , But the beard is not merely for ornament, it is for use. Nature never does anything in vain, she is economical and wastes nothing. She would never erect a bulwark were her domain unworthy of protection, or were there no enemy to invade it. I shall proceed to show that the beard is intended as a bulwark, and designed as a protection for the health. The beard has a tendency to prevent diseases of the lungs by guarding their portals. The moustache particularly. as we have already seen, prevents the admission of particles of dust into the lungs, which are the fruitful cause of disease. It also forms a respirator more efficient than the cunning hand of man can fabricate. Man fashions his respirator of wire, curiously wrought ; nature makes hers of hair placed where it belongs, and not requiring to be put on like a muzzle. Diseases of the head and throat are also prevented by wearing the beard." Let us not forget, in conclusion, to state, that the ladies are not forgotten, and that a considerable portion of the work is exclusively devoted to them and their interests, with ample directions as to the management of hair, ringlets, bands, and even false curls !! ! But as we are venturing upon for bidden ground, we shall desist directly, as with such arcana we have no business to be acquainted. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-YESTERDAY, (BEFORE MR. COMMISSIONER PERRY.) _ In re Parerelle.—The bankrupt in this case was a hardware dealer in Paradise -street, whose premises were some time ago burned down. He came before the court on his adjourned last examination. Mr. Charles Pemberton, solicitor to the bankrupt, was examined at considerable length relative to a claim for £4Ol made by Mr. Louis Pererelle of Birmingham, who is uncle to the bankrupt against the estate. Mr. Pem berton's evidence went to show that Mr. Louis Pererelle was not included in the original list of creditors supplied to him by the bankrupt, and that it was represented at the meeting of the bankrupt's creditors that his liabilities were only about £l,BOO, whereas they subsequently turned out to be £2,400. The bankrupt was also examined at great length, relative to his books and papers, and at the conclusion of his examination Mr. Yates, on the part of the assignees, applied to have the bankrupt's examination adjourned sine die. Mr. Pemberton opposed this course being adopted, and after some conversation it was agreed that the examination should be adjourned for a fortnight. A Servant's Home has been opened in Birken head, under the direction of the Rev. A. Knox, and other clergymen os the Established Church. BIRKENHEAD EMIGRATION DEPOT—Duringthe past week two vessels have been dispatched from this depot with gov ernment emigrants, namely, the Utopia, on Thursday last, with 340 passengers for Portland Bay, South Austrahn, and the Boomarang, on Saturday last, with about 400 for Mel bourne. They had been selected chiefly from the agricul tural districts of England. NEW PATENTS.—The following patents, amongst others, sealed during the week ending November sth, 1853, are from Messrs. Hughes and Bloodworth's List :—Henry Con stantine Jennings, of 8, Great Tower-street, London, for improvements in the manufacture of soap.

The usual fortnightly meeting of this board was held yes terday, the Rev. Rector CAMPBELL, in the Chair. The other members present were—Messrs. Came, Hand, Gard ner, Bradley, Whitty, Moss, Denton, Mellor, J. Jones, Blain, Whitby, Sumners, Luff, Clarke, Hutchinson, Troughton, Savage, and Pemberton. FINANCE commirrEE. The proceedings of the Finance Committee were read. The Mayor had applied, asking for the application of some of the parish funds, to enable two natives of Nova Scotia to be sent to that colony. The biayor was informed that the poor rates could not be legally applied to this purpose, but the matter was referred to the Voluntary Rate Committee, the men, in the meantime, being provided for in the Work house. Mr. CAEN; in moving the confirmation of the proceed ings, observed that they required no comment. Con firmed. WORKHOUSE COMMITTEE. From the proceedings of this Committee it appeared the number of persons admitted into the Vagrant Sheds, last week, was 910 ; of these 505 were males, 260 females, and 105 children. Number of inmates in the House, 1842 ; in Hospital, 452, of which 49 were fever and 43 itch cases. In connection with the recent suicide of a female pauper, a re port was read from the Architect and Surveyor, as to the state of the Lunatic Cells. They suggested that the iron bars in the cells should be removed, and external shutters substituted, and as no better accommodation could be at pre sent afforded in the House for this class of inmates, that paid officers should be appointed in each ward, in the place of pauper attendants. Mr. CARNE observed, that with regard to the wards for lunatics, he could only say that, together with the othergen tlemen of the committee, he had proceeded through the work house, and inquired of Mr. Weightman whether there was any space which could be applied to the lunatics; and they found that there was no place in the workhouse more suitable for the purpose than the present. He had to re mark that the lunatics brought to the workhouse were only detained for fourteen days before they were sent to the asylum. Many of them were persons labouring under de lirium tremens, and some time violent, and therefore it was necessary that the parish_ should so provide, that, while in the house, such peoplo could not injure themselves. But unless they were prepared to build new wards, It, possible to make any better arrangement for the custody of the Innatiog than that at precont oxizting. Mr. Moss said that Mr. Carne's explanation was not at all satisfactory to his mind. It appeared from the report on the governor's book, that a woman, named Mary Connor, was admitted into the workhouse the 4th October, and that she remained until the 27th of the same month, when she destroyed herself by cutting her throat with a knife. He (Mr. Moss) should like to know where the blame rested in this matter, for certainly it was more than strange that a woman in the condition of mind of the deceased should have had the opportunity of destroying herself at nine o'clock in the broad day. Really it was too bad to think, that in a workhouse like theirs, with such a staff of officers, such an occurrence shouldhavebeenallowedto take place. Hebelieved it was a pauper attendant who had charge of the woman and left the knife in her way; but he could not help thinking that, under any circumstances, a very serious blame and responsibility attached to some one. Putting that aside, however, he thought the report of the coroner's jury, included in the governor's minutes, should really be read for the Vestry, for instead of taking that light view of the case, which Mr. Carne had done.— Mr. CARNE : Excuse me, I took no notice whatever of that case. Mr. Moss replied that Mr. Carne had said that the arrangements for the reception of lunatic patients into the house, were the best that could be provided. Now he (Mr. Moss) would read the report of the coroner's jury, and the expression of their opinion, in which he entirely coincided : for he had gone over the house, and he could not believe it possible that any such place as he had seen, could have been provided for the purpose of lodging lunatics. The spirits of every one would be depressed there, and as for the lunatics, it was more calculated to aggravate than alleviate their disease. Mr. Moss then read the report of the coroner's jury, in which they condemned the present lunatic wards in the workhouse, as being badly ventilated, cheer less, dangerous, and fit only tor condemned criminals, and recommended that new lunatic wards be provided. Mr. Moss then proceeded to say that the governor had told him he would not stop to make any remark upon the subject of the extravagance of their proceedings, in employing an architect at a very large remuneration, who was constantly sending them in reports, from which they derived very little satisfaction, and who was the artificer of these wards, which were only to be seen by everyone to be universally condemned; he would not remark on that subject, but he should say that the governor had stated to him that it was quite possible to erect an independent place in the yard, which might be lighted from the roof, and properly secured, for the reception of the unfortunate lunatics. That might be done, he understood, at a very moderate expense, and the present cells could be turned to some other purpose ; for really they were, as he had said before, perfectly unsuitable, and a disgrace to the whole establishment. He did not mean to say that any blame attached to the governor with respect to this unfortunate affair. The governor had told kept the knife in the ward for the purpose of cutting bread, and that having placed it in some insecure place, the unfor tunate deceased got possession of it, and so cut her throat; but, at all events, it was quite time that some better precau tion should be adopted to prevent the recurrence of similar circumstances. Now he noticed that all the inmates of the house were allowed the use of knives, and he thought very improperly. If any of the board went into the yard, they would find the paupers standing about with large clasp-knives in their hands, and the use to which they principally applied them was in sharpening them on the window sills—so much so, that the stones placed in the windows within the:last few years, were now nearly worn out. He appealed to many members of the board if this were not the fact, and if all that he had stated were not true. Mr. CARNE said nothing in defence of those cells, and he had nothing to do with the buildinglof them. All he remarked was this.—They applied both to Mr. Weightman, Mr. Wylie, and to the governor, who went round with the members of the committee, and they all declared there was no place in the building at present that could be altered to make room for lunatics which would be superior to those existing. The only remedy would be to build new cells, and therefore all they had done was to remedy as far as practicable those in existence untill new ones were built. Mr. Moss knew they could not build them in a day. Mr. Moss : But those are new buildings. Mr. CARNE : Had nothing to do with their being built. As chairman of the committee he merely stated what had occurred, and if the governor had stated to Mr. Moss that a remedy could be applied he did not say so to the committee when they went around. If he had told Mr. Moss he had told him something which he did not tell before. • If blame rested with any one it was with the building committee of the workhouse ; the present workhouse committee had noth ing to do with it. They had but to superintend and see such a sufficient number of persons were employed as would exercise a proper surveillance over those people. More than that coubd not be done, and no blame attached to the committee. Mr. GARDNER should like Mr. Moss to state who and what was extravagant. Because if there was anything extravagant either in the renumeration of the officers, or the management of the house, if it were brought before the committee it would be altered. He observed, however, in everything that fell from Mr. Moss that he invariably abphed the term " you "—as " you did this ". Now, why did not Mr. Moss say at once "we " ? _ Mr. Moss : Because I am not a member of the Work. house Committee. Mr. GARDNER replied that he was a member of the Board, and if he brought anything that was extravagant before the Committee it would be rectified. In place of that, however, he was constantly saying, " you did so and so." Mr. Moss was astonished that Mr. Gardner, who appeared to be so much of a sticklerfor, and who had seen so much of public matters, did not conduct himself properly. The CHAIRMAN observed that Mr. Moss was interrupting Mr. Gardner. Mr. GARDNER, again reiterated that if Mr. Moss brought anything that was wrong before the Committee it would have been rectified. With respect to the observation that the cells were only fit for condemned criminals, he (Mr. Gardner) should like to know why condemned criminals should be placed in gloomy cells. (Laughter.) It was no laughing matter. They should be placed in cheerful places —(laughter) —where the ministers of religion could go and console them ; for he did not think that they had a right to make them worse. With regard to the lunatic wards, Mr. Moss had recommended sky lights, but he (Mr. Gardner) should like windows, or something through which they could look out and cheer themselves. Mr. DENTON thought that Mr. Moss's observations would have come in their proper place if made before the Com mittee, and, if so made, they would no doubt have been at tended to. He agreed with Mr. Moss, however, that the place for the lunatics was not a fit or proper place, but, under the circumstances, they could not help it. They had no other place in the house to appropriate for the purpose. until the new buildings were completed, and at them they were now working as fast as they could. The CHAIRMAN remarked they should do something prac tical. They ()light to attend to the verdict of the coroner's jury. It was important to be considered that this woman was in no way to be considered dangerous, and that ex empted the officers from all blame. When a person was de termined upon self-destruction it almost amounted to an im possibility to prevent it. He could not say that he saw any blame attached to the governor or officers. But what he wanted to say was this, if those cells were anything like what the coroner's jury described them, they ought to alter them as soon as they could. He should like to know if any additional accommodation for lunatics was contemplated in the new buildings. Mr. Denton said this was within his belief, and then that a remedy would be provided—was that the case —was it in contemplation to do anything ? Although lunatics were only there temporarily, still they ought to be put in such places as were fit for them. They might proba bly be brought into a state of delirium by vice. Mr. Moss She was not ; she was a young woman. The CHArnm.A.w did not know that she was in the cells was she ? Mr. Moss : Yes. A discussion here ensued on the subject, in which nearly every member of the board was talking at the same time, thus rendering all attempts at reporting utterly futile. Mr. BRADLEY (when the clatter had somewhat subsided) remarked there was no doubt the fault arose from the con struction of the building ; and it was in contemplation to remove lunatics from it. The present buildings were in such a state no other place could be provided. He did not think there was any fault : those cases would elude the greatest vigilance ; and he did not think the coroner's jury ought to have brought in such a verdict. The cells were not so cheerless as represented ; they were low, but not so bad as represented. He (Mr. Bradley) thought more had been made of it than there was occasion for. . _ The subject then dropped and the proceedings were con firmed. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS. From the proceedings of the committee of the schools it appeared that a sub-committee had been appointed to en quire into the training pursued therein, and to obtain such information as to the working of other similar institutions as might be deemed advisable. Mr. GARDNER in moving the confirmation of the proceed ings, said that in accordance with the recommendation of the select vestry a sub-committee of engineers had been appointed. Mr. Moss : A sub-committee of the school committee ? Mr. GARDNER : Yes. The CHAIRMAN said he attended the schools on the pre vious day to meet Mr. Brown, the Inspector, and he said the Schools were in a very satisfactory state. He (the Chair man) had some conversation with him, and he seemed to think that more land would be required for Industrial Training. Mr. Moss : A good suggestion. Mr. Lug suggested that the land running down to the railway should be secured. Mr. GARDNER. : The matter is under consideration. The proceedings were confirmed. Communications were raid from the Poor Law Board con firming.the appointment - 5r the medical officers elected by the Board, and the dispensers ; also, enquiring whether in connection with the project of apprenticing several girls to Mr. Hobson, of the Havannah Mills, Congleton, any com munication had been made to the Guardians of the Congle ton vutv. va bba —4,3nn4_J Mr. HART said no communication had been lima. co 41,.. Congleton Guardians. Mr. Hobson had some girls from them before ; he was a highly respectable man, and pro - ved a kind master. THE HEALTH OF THE TOWN. Mr. BRADLEY said, although the Medical Relief Commit tee had no official report to make, yet he was happy to say the town was never in a more healthy state. In six of their districts they had no diarrhea at all, and in the others there were only a few cases, numbering perhaps nine altogether. Yesterday they had, unfortunately, a very malignant case of English Cholera, presenting itself in Paul-street, and re moved to the Hospital here, and the party had since died. With that exception there had been no other case. The cases now remaining in the House were reduced to four. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DENTON here rose and was about to put the question of which he had given notice, when, Mr. Moss rose amidst laughter, and complaining of a very objectionable practice which he had witnessed at the Work house on the previous day. He alluded to the system of fever patients being conveyed to the Workhouse in cabs, whilst the Workhouse van was idle. He suggested that no person should be received into the fever ward unless conveyed there in the Workhouse van. Mr. BRADLEY said this could not be done. Persons were often brought by their own friends, and how could they con trol them ? _ _ _ Mr. GARDNER said they should inform the Car Commit tee, and they would make a regulation against it. Mr. Moss believed there was a law against it. Several members expressed an opinion that it was a mat er in which the Vestry could not interfere. Mr. Moss : If you are satisfied I am not. Mr. GARDNER : They do not like to ride in a pauper van; they like to come respectable. NEW MAGISTRATES. Mr. DENTON then proceeded to put the question of which he had given notice. This question resolved itself into two considerations, first one of expense to the parish, and se condly, disappointment on their part at the newly appointod magistrates not attending to the duties for which they were intended. The Select Vestry had provided suitable accom modation here for the magistrates, and also for the parties who were to be sent to Ireland. The magistrates of that day refused to attend, and the consequence was a batch of new magistrates were appointed on the application of the Vestry. From all he could learn those new magistrates had. also refused to perform those duties. Now, he wanted to know the truth whether it was so or not. If it were the truth, the parish had been put to the expense of £2,000 or £3,000. which was of no earthly use, and they would occupy premisesin Riley-streetperpetually. He didnot by any means wish to attach undue importance to this subject, and he would merely put the question of which he had given notice :—" The reason why the pass-office in St. Paul's square has not been given up, and the business of that from laahniega d at i thl l tast w rnaU l k s , e t ' n ' at i k Atm% been anticipated by a report from the committee, and he listened with attention to hear such a report read. Mr. BRADLEY remarked that the delay had been occa sioned by the continued absence of Mr. Johnson, who had been detained out of town a few days longer. But, as soon as he did come, the subject would be taken up in a proper manner. It was impossible for the committee to meet until his return ; and then the report would be of such a character as to give satisfaction to Mr. Denton, and the members generally. Mr. Moss confeised, without understanding much of the matter, (laughter) he agreed with Mr, Denton. It was really too bad that three months should elapse, and the business of the parish not be attended to, becau se Mr. Johnson was an invalid, and that application should be made to the Secretary of State, for an increased number of magistrates, and then that months should elapse, and those magistrates should have taken no interest in parish affairs. It had been intimated to him that those magistrates could not consistently act as had been expected. If it were so, a great many harsh remarks might have been spared with regard to the old magistrates. They performed their duties most satisfactorily, and they ought not to be buffetted about from place to place to perform those duties. He congratulated the new magistrates on their elevation to the bench, although, but for the Vestry, they should not have got there. Mr. BRADLEY hinted that the same power which caused their elevation, might cause their removal. Mr. SAVAGE said he had it from one of the new magis trates, they were determined to take no interest in parish affairs, and that they would not attend here. Mr. DENTON : They will do as they please. The CHAIMIAN : There is no question before the Vestry. The proceedings then terminated. THE AMERICAN FisirEmEs.—The Portland Adver tiser states that the schooner Lookout; Capt. Littlejohn arrived at that port from Bay Chaleur, had ninety barrels of mackerel taken from her by the British cruisers, en acconnt of alleged fishing within the prescribed limits. SQUIRREL HUNT.—The National Intelligencer pub lishes the following article of information • Eighteen persons in Plymouth Hollow, Connecticut, went out on a squirrel hunt for one day. They brought in at night twenty-nine hundred and ninety ! There must have been a " mess meet ing of squirrels on that day. It is not to be understood that in cases of squirrel hunts, common in many parts of the country, the number of animals literally suffer, in propriis perssonis. The Squirrel is the unit of a conventional currency, in which the amount of game is reckoned. A bear for example may be rated perhaps at 500 Squirrels, a Racoon at 100, a wild Tur key at 50, and a Partridge at 20, or at whatever other rates may be thought suitable, according to the difficulty of bagging the respective animals, and the desire of making a handsome mount. BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT.—A case of consider• able importance to railway companies was beard at the above court. The proceedings were taken by G. Clive, Esq., the judge at the Southwark County Court, against the North- Western Railway Company, to recover the sum of 108. 6d., which had been, as he conceived, improperly charged to him, and which he had paid under protest. Mr. Angell, an at torney, appeared on the part of Mr. Clive, and Mr. H. Grif card, the barrister, instructed by Mr. S. Carter, their solicitor; attended for the railway company. The proceedings occupied some time, but the brief facts are these :—On the 24th Sep tember last, Mr. Clive gave directions to Mr. Dyer, the pro prietor of the extensive horse repository in Dublin, to forward three horses from Dublin to London. On the evening of the 21th, M. Clive went to Euston-square station, and informed one of the company's servants that he expected three horses on that evening, and were, he had not the least doubt, shipped at Dublin on the evening before. He also inquired at what time the train by which they had been forwarded would arrive, and not being able to reeeive the required information he went away without paying for the transmission of the animals. On the same evening, at eight minutes past 8 o'clock, the horses arrived, in charge of Mr. Clive's servant and that person not having the £l2 to pay fot them, the animals were sent to the Euston Hotel livery stables for the night. On the following day Mr. Clive came to the station, paid £l2 for the convey ance of the horses, and also 103. 6d. for the night's livery. 'this latter sum he paid under protest, and now sought its re turn, on the grounds that the company had no legal ground for such a charge. Mr. Giffard, in the first place, urged that there was no case, and contended that, as Mr. Clive himself could not state what time the horses were shipped in Dublin, it was impossible that the company's officer could inform him at what time the animals would reach Euston-square. The railway company could not hold themselves justified in incurring the responsibility of sending three valuable horses along the street, and they could not do better than send the horses to livery. The question was, whether the bill was not a perfect reasonable one. The learned judge, however, gave judgment in favour of the plaintiff, and the decision seemed to cause much surprise in 'out, THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. COUNTY COURT.- YESTERDAY. The Court sat at the usual hour yesterday. REGAN v. PRITCHARD.—This was an action brought by a woman named Regan, to recover damages from a Mrs. Pritchard, for a bite inflicted upon her by a dog belonging to the defendant. The statement by the plaintiff was, that she was pursuing one of her children, and had a strap in her hand, with the view of inflicting maternal castigation upon the fugitive, when the child ran up a court in which was the back door of defendant's house. Plaintiff went up the court, and put her hand upon the latch of a door to open it, when the dog rushed out and bit her on the hand. The hand bled very much, and she had to g,o to the hospital next day, and subsequently get a doctor and pay for medicine. COURT : Have you any proof that the defendant knew the dog was mischievous ? because if you have not, I am afraid I can do nothing for you, PLAINT= : I know nothing at all about the dog, except that he bit me, and I know he would tear me to pieces if he could. COURT : Very well, that may be ; but persons are not re sponsible unless they know that dogs are mischievous, and in the habit of biting or snapping. I cannot assist you, un less you bring some proof that this was a mischievous dog. People have a right to keep . dogs if they choose, and unless they know that they are mischievous, they are not respon sible. If they know that their dogs are mischievous, they are bound not to keep them at all. PLAINTIFF : They ought to keep their dogs tied up, and not let them bite people. COURT : I am of opinion, that tying up dogs does a great deal more harm than good. I have the misfortune to differ from some authorities upon that point, but that is my opinion, and I have probably kept as many dogs as most persons. Mr. HIRE, upon behalf of the defendant, stated, that the place where plaintiff came up was not a public thoroughfare, but an entry leading to the back door of defendant's house. The plaintiff went up the entry, and put her hand on the latch to open the door, when the dog ran out and bit her. Mrs. PRITCHARD gave evidence to support the statement of Mr. Hime, adding that the dog was subsequently killed to satisfy the plaintiff. The court where plaintiff came up was no thoroughfare, and the back door there led into defen dant's yard where the dog was kept. COURT : When did this occur ? DEFENDANT In August last. COURT : Are you quite sure the dog had never been cross before ? Dnri.n)Alrr : Quite sure, sir. COURT : Had you never known him to bite anybody be fore, or to snap at anybody ? DEFENDANT: Never. COURT : Well, Mrs. Regan, I cannot do anything to assist you, unless you can bring some evidence to prove that the defendant knew this dog was mischievous. People have a right to keep dogs, and keep them in their yards. It is the law of this country, and in my opinion a very just law, that people ought to be obliged to take care of all animals which are vicious or mischievous, but they are not obliged to keep any particular watch over animals which they have no rea son to believe are so. This woman had the folly to think that instead of letting the dog live she would have a better chance by its being killed—a piece of folly which one might have hoped had long since ceased to exist. I have the mis fortune to differ with many authorities in thinking that the habit of tying up dogs does a great deal more mischief than good, and only renders them vicious and savage. I also believe it will be found, in regard to cases of hydro phobia, that the great majority of them occur in winter and not in summer, and that it is a mistake, and a mere vulgar error, to suppose that the greater number of them occur in hot weather. I remember having been assured by a gen tleman of very high experience, that he had carefully exam ined into the question, and came to the conclusion which I now state. But the very period of warm weather, when people think they are doing well in restraining dogs, is the very period they are most anxious to get out and get loose, and I am convinced that very great injury is done by keep ing them in and tying them up, much more than would happen by letting them out with proper precautions. the case was then dismissed, and the plaintiff left the court, giving vent to several half-audible expressions of her contempt for legal proceedings in general. THOMAS V. ATASSEY.—This was an action brought to recover £3 17s. 6d. for damage done to a donkey cart of plaintiff's, by an omnibus belonging to the defendant. Mr. Grocott appeared for the plaintiff, ;Eliza Thomas, a green grocer, and the defendant was Mr. Massey, a publican, to hom the Old Swan omnibus belonged, The case for the plaintiff was, that on Monday, the 19th of September, he was driving his cart, containing eggs, butter, and vegetables, along the road from Liverpool to Kensington, and that shortly after passing the Coach and Horses public house the omnibus ran into him, breaking the cart to pieces, overturn ing the plaintiff on the road, and destroying a large quantity of his eggs and butter. It was stated, on behalf of the plaintiff, that the road was at the time quite clear, and that the omnibus might have passed without touching the cart. The driver did not call out, nor did he stop . after the acci dent had occurred. The plaintiff stated, in reply to Mr. Aspinall, that he was not asleep in the cart at the time, that he was perfectly sober, and that he was driving with rains. On the part of the defence the driver of the omnibus deposed that he was getting out of the middle of the road to avoid a gentleman's carriage, when he saw the donkey cart upon the road before him, and called out to the plaintiff to get out of tue way, Wlll.lLe lea La.cat Lat, COURT : I will not allow this driver to set up this sort of thing as a defence. His business was, if he could not go on without running into the carriage or the cart was to pull up. He had no right to drive over the donkey cart in this way. He has no right, becausa he gets out of the way of a gentleman's carriage, to run into a poor man's donkey cart. Let the gentleman's carriage take its chance like every other vehicle, and if it runs into any other conveyance, let the gentleman be made responsible for it; but I cannot listen to such a defence as this, that a driver is to get out of the way to avoid a gentleman's car riage at the expense of a donkey cart. It is the business of this driver to take care of the horses he is driving, and not to run into a cart because it does not get out of his way at once, especially a cart drawn by a donkey, which cannot get out of the way as quickly as his horses can come along. I am of opinion, that the defendant in this case, is already liable for some damages. • Evidence was then gone into as to the value of the dam age done to the plaintiff. The Court finally gave a verdict for the plaintiff for £1 ss. NASH V. JOHN AND ANNE WALSH,— This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a sailor, to recover £ll from John Walsh, and Anne, his wife, who kept a boarding-house, in Leeds-street. From the evidence of the plaintiff, another sailor, and a police officer, it appeared, that the plaintiff, after being paid off at the Sailors' Home, had £l6 with him in the lodging-house kept by the defendants, and that as he was drunk at the time, his companion put the money on the table, when Anne Walsh took it up. She subsequently gave him £5 of it, but would not give up the rest. The defendants did not appear. The Court cautioned the plain tiff against risking the money, which he had hardly earned, in such places in a state of intoxication, and gave a verdict for the amount claimed, adding, that he should certainly send the defendants to Lancaster gaol if they did not pay the plaintiff the amount which he claimed. The remaining cases heard during the day did not possess any public interest. BRAZILIAN CUSTOM HOUSE FORMALITIES.—The ship Maria, belonging to Siffken and Ironsides, returned in ballast on her last voyage from Rio ; and on the way touched at Pernambuco, where one of the crew bought three parrots and a monkey. The vessel was not allowed to leave that port till this cargo was regularly manifested ; and we have before us a sheet of foolscap, on which the parrots and monkey are duly entered, and their shipment, in conformity with Brazilian law, attested by the formal signatnre of nine several officials, and the appropriate seal.—New York Journal of Commerce. OIL SPRING.—A new petroleum, or oil spring, has been discovered in Western Virginia, near the forks of the Hughes river. It was found in sinking a well for salt, In .tead of salt, however, the spring commenced blowing out mineral oil, and has so continued to furnish it at intervals up to the present date—about fourteen g allons of oil being pro duced every fifth day. An account which appears in the Christian Advocate and Journal, says, that the stratum yield ing the oil lies parallel with the bed of the river, is generally near five feet thick, and is reached in various places by sinking pits thirty feet into the earth. Some pits fifteen feet square, have yielded one hundred and thirty five barrels of oil, but all are not alike rich. The oil is valuable for weakness in the breast, sprains, cuts,- and bruises; it burns very well in lamps, and may be used in dressing leather, instead of fish oil, but makes the leather porous. RECOVERY OF A WIFE THROUGH THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—A few days since a telegraphic message was received at the Stroud Station of the North Kent Railway, to the following effect :—" Please to detain tw• ladies, one short and the other tall, and a man very much marked with small-pox," The parties were stated to be in a first•class carriage. In consequence of this communication, on the arrival of the train at Higham, the carriages were locked, and the parties were detained on their arrival at Stroud. A message back to London brought down a gentleman, who claimed one of the ladies as his wife, who, it was said, had eloped with his managing man. After some parleying. the lady joined her husband, and the parties departed in cabs, taking different directions.—Sentish Observer. On Sunday, at noon, the weather having become beautifully calm and fine, the King of the Belgians, with the Count de Flandres and the Princess Charlotte of Belgium, embarked at the admiralty pier, Dover, in the Belgian mail packet Ruby, for Ostend. The Duke and Duchess de Brabant (who had merely accompanied the king on his journey to Dover, intending to return to Windsor Castle) went on board with their illustrious relatives, anp the sea being very calm, and the atmosphere fine and clear, her Imperial Highness and her royal consort decided on making the trip to Ostend with the king. Lord John Russell comes to Chesham-place to day from Pembroke Lodge, to attend the Cabinet Council. The noble lord, during his recent retirement at the Duke of Argyll's romantic seat at Rosneath, is understood to have been much occupied with preparing his new Reform Bill, for which abundant statistics were furnished him, and which ministers intend to introduce to parliament soon after the commencement of the session.—Sunday EVILS 01? THE LICENSING SYSTEM. THE present system of Public-house licenses having been so much discussed of late, in con nexion with the town of Liverpool, the following article on the question, which appears in the Morning Chronicle of yesterday, will doubtlessly be interesting to our readers : " If the Licensing System were conducted with perfect purity and fairness, instead of being, as it notoriously is, the instrument of the most shameful jobbery and partiality—if it were as consistent with the reasonable liberty of the sub ject as it is utterly repugnant to all sound economical and social principles—it would still be open to grave objection. The grounds on which it was originally justified were two fold—the protection of the public against adulterated liquors and short measures, and the interposition of a check upon the indulgence of vicious propensities which find in some particular trades unusual facilities for their gratification. How far the former end has been attained—or rather, how far any attempt is ever made to attain it—is a question which may be left to the consumers of the different beverages which the licensed victualler dispenses, and for which such admirable recipes are given in a certain manual which is in very general circulation among them. As to the magis trates' license operating as a restraint on drunkenness and other immoralities, there is good reason for believing that it has the directly opposite effect. The practice of selling licenses,' says Mr. Robertson Gladstone, of Liverpool, has a very injurious effect, inasmuch as, if a party having a license desires, after a certain number of years, to retire from trade, he knows very well, if he can show that he draws a certain number of casks of beer, or a certain quantity of spirits, and so on, the license will sell for a considerable rice;p and licenses are very commonly bought and sold.' If the trade were open, a publican would have no other motive for en couraging excessive drinking than the desire to earn a profit upon the commodity consumed; and that desire might, in some measure, .be counteracted by the fear of attracting rivals to his neighbourhood, and the police to his doors. But as a license confers a monopoly, the dread of competition is unfelt ; and the landlord's anxiety to increase the value of the goodwill of the concern—which, of course, rises with the amount of business done—acts as a strong incentive in addition to the hope of immediate profit, for stimulating the consumption of intoxicating liquors. "But even if the system really tended to restrain vice, it would still labour under other fatal defects. In the first place, it does not so much as pretend to deal with more than one of the many trodeq which afford scope for the evils against which it is directed. There are seven or eight dif ferent branches of business which, however innocent per se, unquestionably offer facilities for many kinds of immorality. Sir R. Mayne, the Chief Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, mentioned, in his evidence before the select committee of last session, not only the public-house, but also the music and dancing room, the billiard-room, the beer-shop, the wine -room, the coffee-shop, the eating-house, and the shell fish shop, as places of public entertainment, which especi ally call for the control of the State. With the last three, however, the law does not, practically speaking, in any way interfere. The other five it treats in as many different modes. Any freeman of the Vintners' Company is at liberty to open a wine shop, not only without a magistrates' license, but without being subject to police surveillance , and more than one house might be mentioned, in the neigbourhood of the theatres, where the disorerly and vicious congregate, night after night, with perfect impunity. " The evils in some of these houses, " says Sir R. Main, " are very great, by the assemblage of young men half drunk, and women, and the seduction from those to the gaming-houses. I thought it a great evil, and took steps to check it, but I found I could not do it." Billiard-rooms, and music and dancing rooms, are not permitted without the license of the magistrates : and this is granted under totally different con ditions in the two cases—the former class of houses being repuired to close at one p.m., and not to open till eight ; whilst the latter are prohibited from commencing their en tertainments before five p.m. Beer-houses are conducted under the license of the Excise, which is conferred, as a matter of course, on every person who produces a certificate of good character, signed by half-a-dozen rate payers. They are bound to close at midnight, but the sale of beer is in many instances continued an hour later, under the shelter of a billiard-table license. Finally, no public-house can be opened without the license of the magistrates. The police may enter, at all times of the day or night, into the t wo last-mentioned establishments, but they have no control whatever over any of the others. "It is obvious. therefore, that, even if the licensing system were in all other respects free from objection, it would be open to the charge of being but a very partial remedy for wide-spread evils. But it is, in truth, funda mentally vicious in principle. An age Sir ignorant of the general laws of commerce as that of the Tuports may well have imagined that vice was to be checked by restricting competition in those trades which gave opportunities for its indulgence ; and the error may be the more readily excused, as the only effectual instrument for attaining the end in view —viz., a police force—did not then exist. But a gene ration which has seen the last rags of Protectionism dragged through the mire by its own disciples, cannot be expected to tolerate much longer such antiquated notions upon the sub ject, If the traffic in gin and brandy is injurious to the nation, it ought to be prohibited altogether, as it is in Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Rhode Island ; but if ' ark th"` - ailit" a,pla'orfaV2 all who may. in it. To place the trade exclusively in the hands of those persons who may chance to find favor in the eyes of a bench of justices tends only to increase the rate of profit, and by no means diminishes the facilities for getting drunk. These will always exist—be it said with deference to Mr. Pownall, the chairman of the Middlesex magistrates —so long as the monopolists possess the means of accommodating the sots of the district. " Inebriety ought to be dealt with like every other offence. Means should be taken to restrain and to punish the offender; but to expect to put down drunkenness by restricting the number of houses where intoxicating liquors may be pur chased,lis about as reasonable aslto propose to check gambling in the stock or share market by limitmg the business of the broker and jobber, as is the case in Paris, to a few persons. If, indeed, the men entrusted with the working of the system approximated to the American plan of total prohibition, by only licensing public-houses in remote and, inconvenient localities, indolence might sometimes prevail over the love of tippling. The drunkard might resign himself to the horrors of sobriety, if he could not attain his seventh heaven without walking some miles for it. But this is precisely what the worshipful bench carefully avoid. They profess to study the wants of the neighbourhood.' Every spot where human habitations arise is readily endowed with a public house, unless the nearest existing establishment be within a convenient distance. The magistrates take care that the drunkard shall not be subjected to the inconvenience of having to travel far for his daily consolation ; but, having provided him with one public-house, they deny him the luxury of another. They do not discourage him from drink ing gin—they merely require him to drink the liquid of A's manufacture out of B's glasses, instead of suffering him to vary his compotations by sometimes trying the dewdrops of X's still from the measure of Y. In a word, what their worships object to is, inconstancy in the bestowal of his patronage, not indulgence in his degrading propensity. But this is only one of the many curiosities of the licensing system." IRELAND. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING. THE LATE TRACT DISTRIBUTION CASE.- DEPUTATION TO THE LORD LIEU TENANT. A deputation, consisting of Mr. John Martin, P.L.G.; Mr. John Ouseley Bonsai], P.L.G.; Major Boyes, and Mr. Litton, J.P„ waited on the Lord Lieutenant yesterday, at the Viceregal Lodge, to present to his Excellency a memorial on behalf of a meeting of Protestants recently held at the Ro tunda. praying for the dismissal of Mr. O'Callaghan, one of the magistrates of Capel-street, Police-office, because of his decision in the case in which Mr. Martin A. O'Brennan recently preferred a charge of assault against a tract distributor named Smith. The Right Hon. the Attorney-General was pre sent with the Lord Lieutenant, who was attended by Captain Molyneux, A.D.C. in waiting. The deputation having been introduced, _ Mr. Martin read the memorial, which recited the facts of the case, viz., certain Protestants in Dublin have, for some time, been in the habit of printing small handbills, setting forth the errors of the Ro , man Catholic Church, and handing them to mem bers of the Roman Catholic persuasion as they passed through the street. On the 14th ult. one of these papers was given to a Roman Catholic, who seized the distributor of the tract and placed him in the hands of the police. The distributor was brought before Mr. O'Callaghan, a magistrate, who stated that his conduct in putting into a person's hands a paper likely to make him angry was calculated to lead to a breach of the peace, and the magistrate ordered him to enter into his own recognizances to be of good behaviour for the future. The memorial then went on to say, that Mr. O'Cal laghan had audaciously, daringly, unconstitution ally, bigottedly, lent himself to sustain the intoler ance of a bigot, and to crush the rights of British subjects, which rights were bought with the blood of their fathers, and shall never be surrendered but with their own. " That we therefore, in the exercise of constitutionla pre rogative, thus approach your Excellency with our complaint, and do most humbly pray that your Excellency may be pleased to cause official enquiry to be made into the premises, and if you find them to be true, and that this 11 , 1 r.
