Then why reduce the charge so low as sixpence, which pays nobody ; and, as far as the newspaper is con cerned, it t urns out a bait that don ' t take—a cock that won't fight, as the two papers I refer to now find. Sir JAMES Gallium's paper, the old Whig Morning Chronicle, is trying hard to get on,—good reporting — good but heavy writing in its leaders,—criticisms, musical and literary, light sometimes and thoughtless, but always smart; they could not well be otherwise, considering who does them ; early intelligence and so-forth—all may do much : JAMIE GRAIIAM and Admiralty influence may do more during the ensuing dead period,—the no-Parliament period, when editors, I suppose, and scribblers gasp for news, as 'landed trouts for water. The Times managers certainly do their business in no mean, no niggard man ner. I say nothing about their giving pensions to the retired litterateurs, bonuses to their p ements at the Liamentary re porters after a hard session ; they (the managers) are absolutely, among other "improvements," g; going to build, a public-house of their own, in order that the men, from the editors down to the porters and printers' devils, shall have honest " wittels and drink" d ur i ng 4-hip night—their hours of work, without having recourse where bad liquor is too frequently vended Bob" (Lowe) will get the Times props to night taverns, " Whiteheaded etors a license ii twenty-four hours. - J.

In hesitating to adopt such a theoretical scheme, the Executive have exercised a sound discretion, f or it will be found far easier to devise such a plan upon paper than to put it into actual practice. If we compare the advantages and disadvantages, the former will be confined to the mere addition a l faci lity for keeping mercantile accounts by saving the labour of reducing pence into shillings and shillings into pounds, and something more in the calcula tion of cwts., quarters, and pounds ; whereas the evils are beyond all power of estimation, rendering it necessary for a whole population to go to school 11 be tc again, anc more than c whether it was worth while going through so much to gain so little. By the present system, we have the intelligible fractions of halves, thirds, quarters, and eighths, which are practicable both in quantities and values ; but by the Decimal sys tem divisions must be fifths and tenths, and exact itude would be in the majority of instances all but impossible. Indeed, the value of the system of cleeim9lq has been eoluaiderably overrated, being chiefly applicable to abstruse calculations, and but little to the business of every-day life. If we sup pose, however, for the sake of argument, that the system had any value in itself, its adoption would still be an evil, for a new generation must arise before the common people would comprehend it, or be able to adapt themselves to the change. The Committee have referred to the examples of France and America as proofs of its practicability, but they are instances by no _means applicable to Great Britain. In the one case it was a new people, ready to adapt themselves to any system, having all their habits to form ; and in the other instance, it was a nation who had destroyed everything old during the horrors of a Reign of Terror, and who accepted the new system for the simple reason that it was new. We are, however, an old people, having ancient customs and long-formed habits ; and such a change would produce a greater revolu tion than that which altered the succession from the male to the female line of the Stuarts.

COTTON.—The market during the week has been very quiet, owing to the manufacturers refusing to purchase more than for their immediate necessi ties, and having recently well supplied themselves, their orders are not large. Speculators have also been quiet, and both parties have been in a great measure actuated by the higher rates of discount. As the news from East was, however, more pacific, and money became easier, there was a slightly improved tone, but holders throughout have been firm, and prices, therefore, have expe rienced very little alteration. The accounts from America, as to the state of the growing crop, have been somewhat contradictory, and have had little or no influence on this market. Stocks here are much reduced, and it is the. opinion of some well informed men that prices must go higher. To- DAY the sales amounted to only 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 were on speculation and for export, at about previous prices ; and the market, generally, was inactive. SALES. DESCRIPTION. PRICES.

WooL.—We have a full average amount of busi- ness to report this week ; buyers are now coming into the market more freely, partly from necessity, and partly actuated by the improved feeling which has characterised this branch of trade since the close of the London sales ; prices generally are very firm, with a slight inclination in favour of the seller ; prospects, on the whole, look favourable. Imports for the week, 4,076 bales—viz., 923 from the Mediterranean ports ; 140 Buenos Ayres ; 334 Portugal ; 315 Russian.; 442 Iceland ; 449 Alpaca and Peru ; 1,130 East India ; 299 Scotch ; 12 Irish, and 32 Coastwise. English : There is con siderably more enquiry for combing skin, which seems to be recovering from the depression expe rienced for some time back. Irish : The reports received present no new feature ; farmers are firm at 225. for mixed parcels, and very little can be bad under. Some very large sales of English and Irish Fleece have been made for Yorkshire, at id. per lb. higher rates than were current a week since. Stocks are not heavy, and prices have an upward tendency. TIMBEIL—The demand for Timber has been so great that it has exceeded the supply, and recent sales have shown a considerable advance in prices, with no immediate prospect of any decline. We extract the following from the circular of Messrs. A. F. and D. Mackay, just published : " The tonnage employed carrying Timber and Deals to this port since the Ist of February last, exceeds that of the previous year by 10,582 tons, although from the Ist of August, last year, to the 18th of the same month, sixty two vessels arrived, against ten vessels to same date this year ; and to the present time, it is not difficult to place cargoes on arrival, and in many instances before arrival, at considerably advanced rates. The impression being that the consumption this year will be hereafter, as heretofore, correspondingly extended with the import, a fresh impetus has been given to trade in almost every branch, within the last three weeks, owing in a great measure to the favourable weather for harvesting, and a general impression in the minds of the public that the Eastern question will ultimately be peaceably arranged." THE MAHOMED SHAH, which sailed from London with emigrants for Australia, in the early part of the year, was burnt to the water's edge on the 18th April. Crew and passengers taken off by a ship, and conveyed to Hobart Town. The ship Winchester, which sailed from Mel bourne on the 18th May, for Newcastle, took fire on the following day,:and was totally destroyed. The crew and passengers were saved in the boats. THE DONCASTER CHURCH RUlNS.—During the past week the workmen engaged in preparing the site of the ruins of the late church for the foundation of the new edi fice have turned up a great number of tombstones which, from their purely symbolical character, are ascribed to a period not later than the fourteenth or fifteenth century. They are generally of small dimensions,and are sculptured with crosses (most of them decorated), heraldic devices, and various emblems of professions, guilds, and trades. THE CLERGY ORPHAN CORPORATION, which was es tablished in 1809, held a quarterly court last week. The Rev. Dr. Russell, who presided, announced several sub scriptions to the fund for building a new school at Canter bury, and urged upon the clergy the necessity of exertions to obtain the amount still needed to carry out the objects contemplated. This fund was set on foot by the Rev. Dr. Samuel Wilson Warneford, who gave £3,000 to purchase a site for a new boys' school ; 4,000 towards building a school for 100 boys ; and £6,000 to found six scholarships, three scholars to be elected annually for two years each, at £3O per annum, from the date of their regular superan nuation. A STUPENDOUS CLAIM.--A western Pennsylvania company have set up a claim to the whole of the western reserve of Ohio, under a grant from Connecticut, alleged to have been made after the year 1662, when Charles 11. granted to that colony a patent for the reserve. In 1795, it will be remembered, she sold the reserve to another com pany, relinquishing all claim to jurisdiction over the ter ritory to the United States in 1800. These Pennsylvania parties to-day applied to the general land office to make to them patents for all the reserve ! The office replied, we learn from parties interested in the " speculation," that the government never having had a claim to, or proprie torship over, that territory, they cannot entertain the application ; and that the state of Connecticut is the party to whom the Pennsylvania company must look for redress, if they really have rights involved in the case.—Washing ton Star. _ _ _ A PANIC.—An Orleans (France) journal has the follow ing :—On Wednesday last a well-dressed stranger arrived in this city by railway. He went to the Frere-Directeur of the Ecoles Chretiennes, and, representing himself as a dentist, stated that he intended to stop some time at Or leans, to exercise his profession ; and, in order to make himself known, was ready to examine the teeth of all the children in his schools, and do what was necessary gratui tously. As he produced papers proving his respectability, and as he suggested that the parents of the children should be present at any operations he might perform, the Frk.e gave his consent. The next day he went to a school in the Rue de l'Universitd, and examined the mouths of the chil dren. Having ascertained that several had teeth which re quired drawing,, he asked them if they and their parents would consent to the operation, and, on receiving a reply in the affirmative, he extracted the teeth. Some children, influenced by the example of their companions, wished to have their teeth drawn also, and the thing was done. The total number of pupils was about 400, and the dentist extracted from them about 200 teeth. When the children went home with their mouths bloody and their faces bound up, the parents of many of them began to suspect that there had been foul play. In conversing with one another they became excited, and when it was known that nearly 200 children had been operated on, the most extravagant ru mours were spread. The rumours Kaye rise to a panic after a while, and parents rushed in dismay to the different schools, and demanded that their children should instantly be given up to them. Some mothers seized large sticks, and threatened violence in the event of the children not being immediately restored. A crowd of both sexes went to' the Maison de la Visitation, and as some hesitation was shown in giving up the children, they broke open the doors and carried them off. At the school of Sainte-Croix the Sisters of Charity endeavoured to convince them that their fears were unfounded but they cried, " The man is coming ! give us up our children !" Similar scenes took place at the house of the Sisters of St. Paul, at St. Marceau, and St. Laurent. Even the board ing-schools of Mad'lle. Mauguin and Mad'lle. Grammont were evacuated ; and as to the schools of the Freres of the Doctrine Chretiennes ' not a single pupil was left i n th em . The mob next went to the Salle d'Asile, in the cloitre Saint Pierre-le-Pue,llier ; and though a commissary of police em ployed all his efforts to convince them that there was no reason whatever for. their terror, they carried off all the children. They also attempted to cause the Ecole Normale to be evacuated, but M. Monvel, the director, firmly resisted them. The next day the agitation continued, and the most alarming reports were spread. One was that a child who had had eleven teeth extracted had died, but it is scarcely necessary to say that this was perfectly false.

COOKE.—This was an action to recover the e defendants. Aspinall Mr. Atherton, Q.C., and ti, and Mr. Overend and Mr. Millward for the defendants. The plaintiff; Mr. Joseph Eaton, is a general broker, residing in this town, and the defendant, Mr. Jas. Cooke, resides at Shrewsbury. In January in the present year, the plaintiff had a quantity of linseed cake for sale, and employed a person named Rowbotham, a commission agent, at Birmingham, to dis ,e same... Rowbotham went to Shrewsbury, and . g reed with the defendant to sell him ten casks of the oil tike, on behalf of the plaintiff. On the 31st of January pose of th the goods were delivered at the wharf at Li v e r p oo l, accord , . ing to the defendant's directions, and would be delivered at Shrewsbnry on the following. day. On the 9th of Feb., the plaintiff received a letter from the defendant, to the end that the oil cake was damaged, and he would not take it. The letter further stated that the oil cake was lying at the wharf at Shrewsbury, at the plaintiff's risk. Evidence having been adduced on behalf of the plaintiff, Mr. Millward addressed the jury for the defendant, who was afterwards examined, and stated that on the oil cake arriving' at Shrewsbury, it was examined and found to be damp, and not according to sample'. Other witnesses having been examined, Mr. Atherton' replied, after which his Lordship carefully went over the evidence on both sides. The jury, after a few moments' deliberation, found a verdict for the defendant. DAGLISII AND OTHERS V. R.A:NSO.N.— IMPORTANT QUESTION ON TICE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.—The plaintiffs in this cause were Mr. Robert Daglish, sen., Mr. Robert Daglish, jun., and Mr. Thomson ; and the defendant was Mr. Ranson. The action was brought on an agreement, and to recover compensation for breach of such agreement on the part of the defendant. The damages in the declaration were laid at £3,000. The defendant had put in several pleas ; but the de fence was based mainly on the statute- of limita tions, which, it was alleged, barred the plaintiffs' right of action. Mr. Attorney-General Knowles and Mr. Millward were counsel for the plaintiffs. ; and Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Manesty, appeared for the' defe In the absence of Mr. Knowles, Q.C. Mr. Millward s the case on behalf of the plaintiffs, who were engineers and boiler-: makers, residing at St. Helens ; and the de fendant was a cotton-spinner in Wigan. On the 19th of September, 1845 the' plaintiffs entered into an agreement to make and ' erect two condensing steam-engines for a new cotton-mill, which the defendant was erecting at Wigan. The engines were to be equal to thirty horses' power, and the cost of each of them was to be £l,lOO. The first of the engines was to be proceeded with at once, and the second in the spring of the following year, 1846. One-half of the first engine was to be paid for on the delivery of the boilers, and the remainder in the following March. Under the terms of this agreement the plaintiffs proceeded with the first engine, and in doing so certain castings were made, and several of the most expensive parts of the second engine were proceeded with, and delivered to the de fendants simultaneously with the first. The portions of the second engine so completed were fixed up in the de fendants' mill, along with the whole of the first engine, and the plaintiffs were ready to put up the other portions of the second engine whenever the defendant was rr, , ady to receive them in the mill._ Whilst the plaintiffs were going on erecting the first engine a letter was received by them from the defendant, to the effect that he did not wish them to send. any more parts of the second engine until the first was completed and set up. In answer to this letter the plaintiffs stated to the defendant that they had prepared all the material parts of the second engine, and that it was desirable to have them set up along with the first engine, but the defendant still refused to allow any fur ther portions of the second engine to be sent, on the ground that, according to his agreement with the plaintiff, the second engine was not to be delivered until the machinery in the mill was ready to receive it. The first instalment of £550 for the first engine was paid by the defendant on the 4th of June, 1846, and subsequent payments were afterwards paid, covering the full amount for the first engine, but with reference to the second engine, the defendant had committed a breach of the con tract, by re f u sing to receive it, at l eas t on ly a part of it. A part of that engine remained in the hands of the plaintiffs, and the other part of it in the hands of the defendant, and the plaintiffs had not been able to obtain a settlement, even for that part of the engine which had been delivered to the defendant. Whilst the learned counsel for the p l a i n tiff s was proceeding in his statement of the case, his Lordship remarked that it was quite clear that the statute of limitations was the ground upon which the action should be tried, and he had understood that the learned counsel on both sides agreed in that. The question, there fore, was this,—from what time did the statute of limita tions in the case run ?—Mr. Millward, in reply, said it was from the time when the breach was first made by the defendant. A writ was served on the defendant on the 15th March last.—The Judge : The objection under the statute of limitations, then, must date before thelsth;March,lB47. mr. Millward said that was so, and he would show that the breach was not made until after that period. On the 25th of February, 1847, the plaintiff wrote to the defendant setting forth the state of the account. The second engine was then completed, and the greater portion of it on the plaintiffs' premises, and. in their way. On the 4th of March the defendant wrote to the plaintiffs stating that he would forward them a check on the general account, and on the 17th of March he forwarded a check for £250, which was acknowledged on the 18th—the following day. On the 23d of April the plaintiffs again wrote to the defendant, asking him to forward £550, according to the agreement, for the second engine. On the 27th of April the plaintiffs received an answer from the defendant stating that he could not receive the second engine until the first was loaded—that is, until the full quantity of machinery which it was to turn was in the mill ; and he stated that the gloomy prospects of the trade had obliged him to give up all idea of ing on the business he had intended, but that as soon as there was such a revival of trade as to justify him in prudence to receive the second engine, he would write to them. Some time after this a letter was sent round to the defendant's cre ditors, stating that he was not able to meet his engage ments ; and subsequently the plaintiffs were consenting parties to an arrangement allowing .the defendant to go on, and. make as much as he could for his creditors and himself. He did so, and since that time had relieved himself of all his difficulties. He (the learned counsel) named this in order to shew the reason why the plaintiffs had allowed the matter to stand over for such a length of time. It then, he proved that the plaintiffs had good ground of action on the question of the statute of limi tations, he should then ask the jury for the damage the plaintiffs had sustained for that part of the second engine which had been sent to the defendant, as well as for that part of it which had been thrown useless on their hands. — Mr. James, for the defendant, observed that he• proposed to go into the question of the efficiency of ;the first engine, as well as avail himself of the question of the statute of limitation.—The Judge here. expressed his opinion that the question was not one for the jury, but was rather one of law on the point raised by the defen dant under the statute of limitations.—A conversation then took place between the learned counsel, which ended in his lordship's suggestion being adopted ; and, after the examination of a witness on behalf of the plaintiffs, who deposed to the circumstances under which-the contract took place, Mr. Milward put in a number of letters which had passed between the plaintiffs and the de fendant, commencing on the Bth of September, 1845, and ending on the 27th of April, 1847, in order to prove that the terms of the contract were under stood to be in force up to the, last-named date, and that the plaintiff's claim could not, therefore, be prejudiced by the statute of limitations, which had been set up as a bar to the action.—The Judge ; Now, you rely on these letters, and the parole evidence you have given as an answer to the defence set up under the statute of limi tations.—Mr. Millward intimated assent.—Mr. James then stated that his argument was, that the operation of the statute of limitations must date from the date of the con tract originally ; secondly, if not so, it must date from the first breach on the part of the defendant. —The Judge : Then you agree it must date from the breach ?—Mr. James : In the first place, I say it must date from the date of the contract. But, in order to meet the effect of the court above ruling that I am wrong on this - point, then I say that the breach was committed more than six years before the action was brought, that is, in June, 1846. On the face of one of the defendant's 1846, he then receded from the contract, letters, t , h da er t e e fo d r Je, eun, that was a breach of the contract. And from that time he would never afterwards consent to con- eider the terms of the contract any longer in force.—The Judge : Then the point for the consideration of the court above would be, whether the objection raised by the learned counsel for the defence could be sustained. If the opinion of the court should be with the learned counsel on the statute of limitations, a verdict would be given for the defendant. If the opinion of the court should be againstthedefendant,thenthe amount ofdamages which the plaintiff had sustained would be leftto reference.—Averdict was then taken forthe plaintiff for £3,000, the sum named in the declaration, subject to the opinion of the court above on the point Of law, and to reference on the question , a damages, which both parties agreed should be submit ' tqcl t 9 14iir l IPirbarP, cf ;1141414*rd 9PgilMr-AtttneYs in connexion with the defendant's Company v-na Islstml n 01.4. 4rs I,rinrvrav* 4-ha cr.-Arta .11-4 lost during its conveyance, by aiie of A verdictwas given for the plaintiff— &ND ANOTHER V.

BECI trover to have it found that JENNINGS TT.—This was an certain had been seized by defendant, belonging to one John „neld, who hnd become Johnson, a cabinetmaker, in bankrupt, of Ot to be iven up to the creditors, The plaintiffs - were assignees for the creditors of John- son. The defendant had carried on business as a cabinet-maker and auctioneer in Wakefield, and in January, 1850, he relinquished the cabinet-making business in favour of Johnson, who was to take the stock, as far as that should amount to £5OO. On a valuation the stock was found to be worth £550, and according to agreement a power of attorney was drawn up as security for the _ _ money, and given to the defendant. Johnson continued to carry on the business, and the defendant confined his attention to the business of au auctioneer and valuator. The wife of Johnson assisted him in keeping his books and accounts, but as the business increased, Parkinson, a clerk of the defendant's, was engaged to keep the books at his leisure time. In doing this, Parkinson ingratiated him self into the favour of Mrs. Johnson, and early in March last she and Parkinson eloped, the former carrying off what money was in the house, and also some property. Beckett having become acquainted with this fact, and being, as it would seem, desirous of securing his own interest, advised Johnson to keep out of the way, lest his creditors should take steps for recovery of their debts, as that, he said, would be a serious thing. In the meantime, Beckett took immediate steps to secure payment of his own claim. For the purpose of doing so, he obtained a judgment, and ex ecution on his power of attorney,. and under it seized goods to the amount, as it was alleged, of about £9OO, but which, under the execution, were said to the sheriff's officer who levied in execution, for the sum of £6l It was contended, that Johnson having gone out of the way, con stituted of itself an act of bankruptcy ; and that the defen dant,having possessed himself of the goods in questiou,was to the detriment of the creditors, and the plaintiffs, as their assignees, sought to have the goods, or the value delivered up to the general estate, for behoof of the creditors, in cluding, of course, the defendant himself. Johnson, it should be stated, has passed through the bankruptcy court, and has obtained a certificate of the first class. Evi dence was heard for the plaintiff, at great length, from which it appeared that Johnson. went out of the way at the instigation of the defendant ; and that on his recom mendation, Johnson had stated that he had obtained some clue to where his wife was, and was•gone in search of her. This, however, was not true, but was done in consequence of the advice given to Johnson, by the defendant, whom Johnson understood to be his friend. The case for the plaintiffs having been concluded,:the:defendant agreed to a verdict for the plaintiffs of £430, subject to certain con ditions, to be subsequently agreed on. VAN BAaxN V. BAINES.—This was an action brought on. a case of chartering. In this instance the defendant entered into a contract for chartering from the plaintiffs, who are extensive shipowners in Amsterdam, the ship Wassenaar. In terms of the charter the ship was to be despatched from Amsterdam some time in March. The evidence, which was nearly all in writing, was very vo luminous, and from it, it appeared that the ship was of 600 tons burden, of five-sixths confidence, and she was to carry a cargo from Liverpool to. Australia, at the rate of 1:6 per ton. The defendant is, an emigration agent, in Liverpool, and in terms of the charter the ship was to be in Liverpool by a certain time. On the part of the plaintiffs it was stated that the vessel having returned from a voyage to Batavia, was as, speedily as possible put into proper sailing condition for passing through the Canal, and on the 30th of March she was ready for sea, with the exception of a small.quantity of ballast, which was not put on board that she might pass through the . canal with greater ease and safety.; she also had to receive two additional seamen. This, it was stated, was a cus tomary proceeding. A day or two thus elapsed in getting in her remaining ballast, after which she was detained by severe weather till the 9th of April. Ultimately she arrived in Liverpool on the 17th of April, by which time the defendant had made up his mind to have nothing to do with the Wassenaar. After her arrival in Liverpool, the Captain reported himself to. the defendant as having arrived. In a day or two the defendant made application for the log-book ; and subsequently, in answer to a notice from the captain, stating that he was on a quay berth in the Victoria Dock, and was ready to take in cargo, he sent a note intimating that he must decline to have anything to do with the Wassenaar. He subsequently alleged as a reason for declining the charter, that the ship had not been despatched "in all March." In the log it had been entered by the mate, on the instruction of the captain, that the ballast and the crew were all on board when the vessel left Amsterdam. This was not true, but it was ex plained that the entry was made because the captain la boured under the impression that ballast could not legally, have been put on board after leaving the port. It was likewise made a ground of declining the charter on the part of the defendant, that the vessel had not been truth fully described as a five-sixths confidence ship. A. great deal of evidence was adduced to prove that due diligence had been used to. get the ballast on board, and, that if sufficient ballast had been ou board to qualify her for going to sea when she left Amsterdam, she could , not have passed through the canal ; the pilot alone stating. that he could have taken her through the canal, although all her ballast had been on board. Surveyors belonging to the bureau veritas of Paris proved that her classification as a five-sixths confidence ship wawa true classification. For the defence it was contended that an essential element in the contract was, that every ressonable expedition should be used, in order to have the vessel despatched to Liverpool, in order that she might be loaded and sent on her voyage. It was indisputable that freights were at the time falling, and continued to fall, both before and after her arrival in Liverpool ; and the detention, which it was contended was unnecessary, was thus. the means of sub jecting the defendant to increasing loss. On investigation, it was farther found that a false representation on an im portant point had been made in the ship's log, and also that minor misrepresentations had been entered on the same register. This was sufficient to shake the faith of any one in the honesty and fair dealing of the parties , having the management of the ship. She was to have gone on a long voyage, and it was of the first consequence that good faith, in every respect, , should be maintained by those to whom she was to be entrusted.—His Lord ship summed up with much care, remarking, minutely, on the various points of evidence, as these bore on the facts in dispute. The question of law would, he said, be left for decision by the court above.—The jury having consulted, " found that the ship was at the. time spoken of five-sixths confidence. The jury again consulted, and found for the plaintiff £1,440, which was amended to £1,500, to cover expense of brokerage under the second chartering. ONIONi v. CROWLEX.—In this case the plaintiff sought to recover, compensation for an infringement of a patent invention by which the plaintiff was enabled to manu facture what is called the "flyer,"an instrument used in the spinning of cotton and other fibres, of annealed cast-iron in stead of maleable iron as was the previous practice. In de fence it was maintained that the process in question was no invention of the, plaintiff's, but was, in fact, an infringe ment of a previous patent process, known as Fletcher's patent, which, it was contended, was essentially tbe same process as that laid claim to by the plaintiff. It was ad mitted that defendant had made and sold " flyers" made of cast-iron, rendered maleable by annealing. The case for the plaintiff having been concluded at half-past six o'clock, the court adjourned till nine o'clock this (Tuesday) morn ing.

A letter from Dr. Hawks, a clergyman of New Orleans, gives a lamentable account of the ravages of the yellow fever in that city :—" Others may endeavour to make people abroad believe there is no danger, while there is really at this moment raging one of the most fearful epidemics that was ever known. The fever is of a frightful type, nearly eve r y case black vomit in eight or ten hours after the attack, and the mortality is unprecedented. Dr. L., who, you know, is one of the most eminent of our physicians, told me this day that there were more deaths than he ever knew at any other period, and the suffering exceeds anything I have ever witnessed. I have this day visited forty-four persons sick with the fever, and by to-morrow do not expect to find ten of them alive. lam going from house to house, from one scene of the most appalling wretchedness only to see another worse, if that be possible, than the last.

MEETING- OF CONVOCATION.—On Thursday, at eleven o'clock, a number of clergymen, members of the lower house, assembled in convocation in the Jerusalem Cham ber,,but at half-past eleven the Rev. Canon Wordsworth entered the room and intimated that three o'clock was the hour fixed upon, and that the Archbishop of Canter bury would not be present until that time. This took the rev. gentlemen very much by surprise, and considerable discontent was manifested ; but after an interview with the Dean of Ely, as Prolocutor, at Dr. Wordsworth's re sidence, an adjournment took place until a quarter-past two o'clock, when the reverend gentlemen re-assembled at Dr. Wordsworth's, and at three o'clock the entire body of clergy in attendance, including the Prolocutor and the Rev. Canon Wordsworth, again appeared in the Jerusalem Chamber, and there remained standing in groups dis cussing the state of affairs until a quarter past three o'clock, when the Archbishop arrived, attended by Dr. Twiss, the vicar-general, and Mr Dyke registrar. There was no other bishop present. The Dean of Ely, on behalf of the clergy present, complained that no intimation of the change from the usual hour of meeting had been given, and their hope, that his grace would give such orders as might prevent a• similar occurrence in future. His grace replied,believing that it was generallyunderstood that the meeting was only for prorogation, I did not expect any one would attend, otherwise I would have causedthehour to be generallyknown. lam very sorry that it has happened so, but I never had any idea that there would be any business at the prorogation; that it was, in fact, the same as the prorogation of Parliament, and I never expected any one to attend. Mr. Dyke then formally prorogued the Convo cation to Saturchty, the 10th of September next. Nn time was fixed, and notwithstanding that the omission was pointed out his grace bowed at the conclusion and with drew. The members remained a few minutes i t conver sation with each other, apparently in no complacent mood ; but one by one, or in groups of two or three, they also withdrew, and the Jerusalem Chamber was deserted.

THE VALUE O F A D VEETlSlNG.—Advertisers will do well to ponder the following sensible remarks contained in a c h ea p little book, entitled " How to Get Mo ney ": " Wh a t eve r your occupation or calling may be, if it needs support from the public, advertise it thoroughly and effi ciently, in some shape or other that will arrest public at tention. y l f f ur re il e y ly b e e on a f t e t s ri s b , that what more to succ t e b s e s pluhablivee press e in tb ng all other causes combined. Th ere may poss ib ly occupations that do not require a d ver ti s i ng ; b ut I can ltbioefe o c , nearly not well conceive what they are. Men in business will sometimes tell you that they have tried advertising, and that it did not pay. This is only when advertising is done - and grudgingly. Ilomcepathic doses of adver tising will not pay, perhaps ; it is like half a potion of physic, making the patient sick, but effecting nothing. Administer liberally, and the cure will be permanent. Some say they cannot afford to advertise. In this country where everybody reads the newspapers, the man must have a thick skull who does not see that these are the cheapest and best media through which he can speak to the public, where he is to find his customers. Put on the appearance of business,'and soon the reality will follow. The farmer plants his seed, and while he is sleeping his corn and po tatoes are growing. So with advertising. While you are sleeping, or eating, or conversing with one set of customers, a rd nd of t y uruhoo your advertisement is being read byhunev sands of persons, who never saw you nor business, and never would, had it not been for your adyer - Wesamt Appearing in the newspaPerv," dreredshea sparingt MRS.
