Now," J.W.'s'i letters e have fully established all these facts, and I do not blame him for "going on towards perfection." But I say that less violence would be done to the popular prejudices by the relaxation of the system he condemns than by its destruction. lam almost certain that the introduction of one pound notes, to any amount that might be required, by supplanting a large portion of the soverigns now in circulation, would astonish the world with the magnitude of our bullion wealth. "J W.'s" letters have demonstrated that almost any sys tem is preferable to the present one, as administered by the Bank of England, under the operation of the act which took from that body the responsibility of regulating the currency, and thereby greatly aggravated the evils that must always be felt, in a greater or lesser degree, while we have an artificial standard of value. But, hopeless of seeing the sound theories of "J. W." speedily reduced to practice, and bearing in mind the proverb, that " while the grass grows the! steed starves," I would strongly urge our currency reformers to satisfy themselves at pre sent with pressing the legislature for a revision of the Act of 1544. Let them press for an Order in Council immediately, susnending that act, and authorising the y Bank to issue a few millions of small notes, on the basis' of national securities, and they will do more towards pro moting the cause of monetary reform, than by the most elaborate essays on the worthlessness of gold, as a standard of value.—Your obedient servant.

Sir,—Your columns, I am aware, are always open to the correction of nuisances, especially when the authori ties of the town have power to remove them. Permit me, then, to call their attention to a great nuisance which now exists in Upper Parliament street (between Great George's Place and St. James' Road). A number of people, both old and young, of the worst class of society, are in the habit of congregating there every evening, to the great annoyance of the respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood. The immoral conduct and obscene lan guage which, on all sides, offends the ear, is really disgraceful; and mere particularly is this evil complained of on a Sunday, :after dusk. I am only surprised that attention has not been drawn to this subject long ere this. Surely such a state of things ought not to be allowed to exist, especially when we know and feel, to our cost, that the town is so well provided with a police force! —Your t, M. H. Upper Parliament street, October 20, 1856. ---- - COUNTY COURT. BEFORE JOSEPH POLLOCK, ESQ., JUDGE. The second October court opened yesterday, and the follow ing arrangement of business was made—Tuesday 21st, judg ment summonses and insolvencies ; Wednesday (this day), 70 cases at ten, 50 at twelve; Thursday, 71 cases at ten, and 49 at twelve; Friday 24th, 70 casts at ten, 63 at twelve. The total number of cases to be disposed of is 373. JUDGMENTS.—iIis Honour delivered judgments in the following cases at the opening of the court : CASRIDY v ASHTON.— This was a case in which the plaintiff, a journeyman ship carpenter, sought to recover £5O as com pensation for injuries sustained by him through the breaking of a rope, which sustained a stage used in the repairing of the ship Paragon, on which he hrd been employed by the defendant, a master ship carpenter. The plaintiff had not himself taken any part in the preparation of the stage, which was suspended in the ordinary manner by ropes furnished from the defendant's yard. It was stated that a reasonable amount of care in exam ining the ropes would have shown that they were defective; and it even appeared that the defendant had been warned that some of his ropes were defective, although it did not appear that his attention had been called to the ropes now actually in question. While the plaintiff was on the stage the rope gave way, he was flung to the ground, broke his arm, dislocated his wrist, and received other injuries from which he suffered for three months. His Honour having received the various authorities bearing on the points involved, concluded by saying :---The pecularity in this ease arises front the fact that there was negligence, not merely in the master, but in at least the foreman, and possibly in other fellow-workmen of the plaintiff, and that the exercise of reasonable care and diligence on the part of any of the latter, would have prevented the accident. As at present advised, I hold that this does not disentitle the plaintiff to recover. The master was negligent in providing and permitting to be used for the slinging of his stages with defective ropes. The foreman was negligent in sending down on the occasion in question the rope which broke, which was so defective, that a reasonably careful examination of it before the stage was slung, would have shown its insufficiency. The fellow-workers, with the plain tiff who slung the stage, were negligent either in using the rope at all, or at least in using it without the protection of a " preventer." The plaintiff himself, who hail not assisted in slinging the stage, and, therefore, hid not an opportunity of discovering the defect in the rope, was not guilty of negligence, and I hold is entitled to recover from his master in this action. I therefore give judgment for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed—£3o. ELLIS V. PERCIVAL AND ANOTHER.—This was a case in which Messrs. Ellis and Foden claimed to recov, r damages flora Messrs. Percival and Campbell, brokers to the under writer?,' association. The defendants advertised a sale of wrecked goods belonging to the vess'l Racer. Tho goods were open for inspection in the sheds at the Prince's Dock, where purchasers had an opportunity of inspecting them. The plaintiffs purchased a lot thus marked—" 343, W. D. and F., No. 4-1 case 34 double barrelled guns," and on this lot, with others which they purchased, they paid the usual deposit. When they came to take away the purchase, they found that there were not 34 guns, but 34 double barrels without stocks or locks. They, therefore, refused to take the lot, and claimed hack their deposit. His Honour said he was disposed to hold, that in the absence alike of fraud and concealment, and in the presence of an invitation to inspect the goods for themselves, the purchasers must be content to accept the lot knocked down to them, however incorrect the designation of its contents. His Honour, therefore, gave a verdict for the defendants. P-RCIVAL V. ELLls.—This was a cross-case to the above, in which Messrs. Percival and Campbell claimed from Messrs. Ellis and Foden, the amount for which the lot was knocked down. The verdict of course was for the plaintiffs. INSOLVFNCIFS: The following orders were made in insolvency cases:—William Whitehead was supported by Mr. Greatly, and opposed by Mr. Jones, on behalf of the Liverpool Tradesmen's Loan Society. He received his final order.—Joseph Griffiths received his final order, a sum of £5 was being accepted.—John Browne received a final order unopposed.—Joseph Hunt, final order unopposed.—Edward Morris, final order unopposed. —George Trowbridge wag supported by Mr. Conway. He was I directed to come up for his final order at the first December court, with protection in the meantime.—Matthew Davidson was supported by Mr. Hime, and opposed by Mr. Rimrner, a creditor. The first December court was appointed for the final order.—James Smith was supported by Mr. Him°, and opposed by Mr. Greatly, on behalf of Mr. Browne, a Birmingham creditor. The final order was fixed for the first December court, Mr. Browne's claim being excepted,— William Cort was supported by Mr. Henry, and opposed by Mr. Thule and Mr. Daggers. His case was ad journed to Monday Use 10th of November, to admit of the schedule being amended, protection being granted in the meantime.— Anne Stacker was supported by Mr. Daggers. The final eider was fixed for the 18th of November. Several judgment summonses, of no pubiic importance, were heard and disposed of. Conpis.—Of all the minor evils which beset humanity and in one of its most tender parts, perhaps these small but exquisitely painful callosities, from which the feet of but few are free, are the worst. The daintiest foot, if encum bered with them, must, perforce, be thrust into an ugly because loosely-fitting shoe or boot, thus incurring the risk of easing one part, and causing a precisely similar incon venience in another, while the change from the neat shoe or boot to its lax substitute is produotive of an awkward and inelegant gait. We fancy that any one effectually relieving the corn-encumbered foot at a moderate charge is deserving of, and likely to obtain, both popularity and emolument. nr. Sims, from Berlin, it will be seen by reference to our uccess, we hope, he will meet with in our good borough 536, Slater-street) of Liverpool.—Adv. FORTUNE TELLING.—At the New Bailey, Manchester, on Saturday, Catherine Leonard was committed for three months for fortune telling. Newton was the scene of her impositions, and her dupes seem to have been pretty numer, ous. A man named Connor, about whose brothers who are abroad she pretended to know a great deal, said that what she told him about them, about their coming home, and what they would bring to him, quite " uplifted him ;" " I was to be a gentleman from a beggar." He said he frequently gave her what he should have kept for himself and family, for " she quite up lifted me, and I thought if the Lord had deprived her of hearing and speech (for she pretended to be deaf and dumb), she was great in another gift." Other witnmes spoke of having given, some Is. and others 61. to have their fortunes told, and one, added that the prisoner, the better to impose on those who waited upon her, said that " for £l,OOO she would not tell after to-morrow, for she had to prepare to meet the Almighty." It was a M anc h ester officer who took herinto.custody. He fo un d h er i n a house i n P o l ar d- s t ree t ; and she i s known as one who leads about a blind fiddler. THE L ITE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF SHARES AT THE NORTHERN RAILROAD OF FRANCE.---111 the account which we lately copied from an American paper of the arrest of certain persons at New York who were implicated in this robbery, there is no mention of the fact that as soon as the news of the robbery waz telegraphed to London, John and Daniel Forrester, the Mansion House officers, were imme diately sent for by Messrs. Rothschild, and employed to endeavour to apprehend the depredators and recover the property. The Fotresters, with considerable difficulty, traced Parron and the two Grelets to Liverpool, and aster_ tained beyond all doubt that they had sailed fot America, which they at once despatched GoedaTci, an intelligent officer, after them, and who succeeded in apprehending them at New York. In the meantime the Forresters were actively engaged in tracking Guirin, another of the depre dators, who they f e l t convinced was in London, and who was apprehended by them in the neighbourhood of Tower Hill, and conveyed forthwith to. Faris, where he now awaits his trial. DEATH FROM DESTITUTION. On Monday, Mr. Wakley, coroner for the Western Division of Middlesex, resumed an investigation, at the board-room of the Strand Union Workhouse, Cleveland street, respecting the death of Louisa Regan, aged 25. It appeared that the deceased was found in the streets at nine o'clock in the morning, in a very feeble state. It was raining hard, and a policeman, seeing that she was very ill, took her to King's College Hospital. She was taken into the surgery, and placed upon a table, and about ten o'clock was seen by Mr. Way, the house physician, and another medical gentleman, who decided that she was suffering under consumptive disease, and could not be admitted into the hospital, as there was no accoaimodation for consumptive patients. The deceased was removed from the hospital in a cab to the Strand Union Workhouse, where she died the same afternoon. The post mortern examination showed that the lungs were much diseased, but there was no appearance suffi cient to account for death. The coroner, in summing up, said it was a most painful case. Here was a poor woman found at nine o'clock in the morning in a dying state, drenched in rain, seeking in vain for relief. After the unusual delay at King's College Eto s .. pital, she at last reached the Strand Union Workhouse at five minutes to twelve, in a state of complete exhaustion. She was conveyed by two men to one of the upper wards, then removed to the bath room and back again —and no refreshment was offered her until the dinner hour, when the ordinary soup of the house was proferred. She refused it, and it was not until after four o'clock that she received from a girl, who had known her elsewhere, a cup of tea, and in a quarter of an hour she expired, having received for so many hours nothin g but sympathy. Thus it was painfully demonstrated that there was a want of that care and attention which ought to be shown in our public institutions. Had that poor creature received common attention on her arrival at the workhouse, it was his conviction that she might havo lived for months. At the conclusion of the summing up the jury retired to consider their verdict. On their return into court, the foreman said that their unanimous verdict was that deceased died from disease and destitu• tion, and that they were also unanimously of opinion that there was a great deal of blame attached to the authorities of the Strand Union Workhouse and King's College Hospital for not showing that attention to deceased which she stood in need of. ENGLISH CAPITAL IN IRISH RAILWAYS At the dejeuner given by the directors of the Belfast and Ballymena Railway, on the occasion of the opening of the extension of the line to Cookstown, and which was attended by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Mr. Dargan, the eminent contractor, made a somewhat remarkable speech, pointing out the fact that the rail way capital of Ireland is about fifteen millions ; twelve millions of it is making a good return, but the remaining three millions is unproductive. These twelve millions. continued Mr. D trgan, have been in the management of our own individual people, our noblemen, our gentle men, our men of business of their own peculiar neigh- 1 bourhoods. The three millions not productive, but still paying from one to three per cent, are under the manage ment of our countrymen, but not yet fully developed. The three millions which produced nothing is purely English capital and English management. (Cheers.) I do not say this for any invidious purpose, nor do I say it under any but the most generous and good feeling towards our English neighbours, who so kindly came forward and invested their money, which I am sorry to say, is not productive. But Ido say it for this purpose, that since I was ten years old, I have been hearing that we are unable to take care of ourselves—that we are unable to do anything for our own prosperity, and that we must have English capital, English judgment, Eng lish enterprise, English management, English every thing. I am delighted and gratified that these Englishmen have come and spent their money amongst us. I would be greatly pleased if they had had a better result ; but why I bring this subject particularly for ward is with the knowledge that there is one - great interest in which that doctrine so long maintained against us is totally and entirely disproved. HIGHWAY ROBBERIES NEAR YORKSHIRE A desperate attempt at highway robbery, accompanied with cruel personal violence, took place on Saturday night last, between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, on the high road leading from York to Heslington. Ft appears that as Jonathan Ellis, a labouring man. about 40 years of age, was returning home from York to Heslington (a small village about two miles from York) on the night in quesiton, on foot, he passed three men, whom he saluted with saying, " Good night." The mat, however, did not speak, but walk - d slowly on in the direction of York. Ellis had not walked many yards further when he turned round and saw two of the three men he had spoken to (it being a moonlight night) coming trek in the direction of Heslington. They over took him near the residence of Joseph Swales, Esq., and a short distance front the bleach grounds. As he was turning round again to look at the men, he received a severe blow on the head from a " life preserver," which stunned him, and he fell staggering to the ground. The two robbers than commenced a brutal attack upon him by beating him on the head, and he supplicatingly exclaimed, " Take all I have, but spare my life. 0, do spare my life." This appeal for mercy to the robbers was of no avail, for they still continued to beat the poor fellow about the head and face ; and he then called out at the top of his yoice, " Murder ! murder !" Fortunately, Charle Stabler, Thomas Dickson, and William Cottam, all of Heslington, who were also proceeding home from York, heard the cries of " Murder," and they has'ened to Ellis's assistance. On their arrival the ruffians made off, got over a gate into a field, and ran in the direction of tin Low Moor. Stabler remained with Ellis, bandaged up his wounds as well as he could, whilst Dickson and Cottam went in pursuit of the highwaymen, whom they eventually overtook, and, after a desperate struggle, succeeded in taking bolt of them into custody, and at once conveyed them to Heslington. The robbers have given their names as William Patrick, of Leeds, and Thomas Jackson, of Swinegate, York ; the latter follows the business of a plumber and glazier. Very slight hopes are given of the man's recovery. The prisoners were removed from Heslington on Sunday afternoon to York Castle, to await their examination before the magistrates. Another serious highway robbery, attended with such violence, as is likely to terminate fatally, was committed in the West Riding of Yorkshire, on the evening o f Thursday last. The unfortunate victim of this oivrage, a farmer and cattle dealer named Whitaker, who lives at Thryberg, near Rotherham, was returning home from York fair by way of Masborough, where he got out of the mail train about eleven o'clock, and where he intended to stop all night for protection, as he had about £2OO in his pockets, but finding the inn closed he we n t forward, and he got to a lonely part of the road at the bottom of Winney-hill, when he was surrounded by four men, who endeavoured to secure him and throw him on the ground. A desperate struggle ensued ; Whitaker received some heavy blows on the head from a whip stock loaded with lead, and though he battled gallantly with his foes, he was eventually overpowered. He said to them, "If you murder me you will have to account for it another time." He caught fast hold of the leg of one man and found it trembled very much, but the villain struck him savagely on the head several times until he became nearly senseless. The fellow then rifled his pockets, taking from hint about £2OO, after which they asked him if he had a watch ; but he had not. They then dragged him, bleeding profusely from several wounds on the head, a little further up the road, and left him. Although in a very exhausted state he contrived to get to the nearest house and alarm the inmates, by whom he was at once attended to, and medical aid was obtained au soon as possible. e is, still, however, in the most precarious condition. On examining the scene of the robbery on the following more the loaded whipstock used in the attack, and the cap of one of th robbers were discovered. HATS ! HATS ! HATS !!

SUICIDE AT MANCHESTER.—MIICh pain has been caused in some highly respectable families at Man chester, by the death of Mr. William Henry Hodgson, of Clare Villa, Burlington-street, a young gentleman only 23 years of age, who destroyed himself on Saturday evening, by discharging the contents of a pistol into his forehead. Mr. Hodgson was one of the y ou nger sons of a deceased magistrate, highly respected in the town, and is suppose d to have been labouring _under aberration of mind caused by disappointment in a love affair. An inquest was held, privately, yesterday, so that the particulars have not transpired publicly. The jury found a verdict that the deceased died whilst labouring under temporary insanity. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL. BEFORE MR. CROSTHWAITE. THEFT BY A SERVANT.—A girl, named Anne Farrell, was charged by Margaret Mullen, of Tichfieldsstreet, with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel and 103. in money. The girl, in the absence of complainant, left a child, of which she was in charge, and, as complainant stated, took a quantity of clothes, amonest which was a gown, value 15s. and 10s. in cash. On investigation, it turned out that the parties had been drinking together, and that the prisoner was in the habit of wearing the clothes. The prisoner was discharged. CURIOUS CASE OF HOUSEBREAKING IN PARKER - STREET.— Between Saturday night and Sunday ntght the jewellery shop of Mr. Drielsma, in Parker street, was broken into and robbed of six musical boxes, and other property, valoe £25. It would appear that the shop of complainant was broken into in the following manner. There is a tep belonging to the Feathers Hotel, called the " Poet's Corner," and this is next the jeweller's shop. This tap was broken, into by "jemmies" and other implements, and the wall between that and Mr. Drielsma's shop, was broken through, and the property stolen. It would seem that the robbers were scared, for they left six of the musical boxes, with the implements in the tap. Horn, Eaton, and Wilson, detectives, made a disc very in the following way. They found a boy, named Burnside, attempting to sell some watch faces or dials, and, on enquiry, it was ascertained that be had got them is the ashes in a house in Hotham street, where he had taken some coals. The officers at once pro ceeded to the house, where they arrested three persons, named John Lewis, James Carroll, and James Murray, who were in bed in the house. On searching up the chimneys, a watch movement, and other things, which belonged to prosecutor, and were identified by him, were found. In reply to Mr. Block, who defended the prisoner Murray, the pro secutor said he did not live in the shop, nor was there any communication between it and the Feathers EI tel, which is over it, nor the tap of that house which was next door to it. Mr:Black cross-examined the officers, with the view of showing that the house in question was of such a character as to admit any nee who wisned to enter it, and there was 1;0 doubt of the fa at. The boy Burnside proved that he took some coal to the bees r in Hntham-street, arid he was asked to light the firms, and. on raking out the ashes, he found the watch dial. His Worship said there was sufficient evidence to send tha prisoners for trial. Mr. Black asked the officers if Murray was in the same raom where the articles were found? and the reply was in the negative, and Mr. Black then contended that a charge could not be sustained against his client under such circumstances. The house was a common house, and the most innocent man, so far as the robbery was concerned, might he got in bad there. Mr. Clough asked for a remand to this day, which was granted. THEFTS ON SHIFBOARD.—Joseph Rodreigues and Antonio Geladio, two seamen belonging to the serew•steamer Khersonese, were chaiged by Captain Powell, commander of that vessel, with having stolen some peaches, apples, and lobsters, part of the cargo of the vessel on her homeward voyage. Mr. Chilton defended the prisoners. The captain was examined, and said, on the outward voyage the ship was much annoyed by a series of petty thefts, but the offenders could not be discovered. On the homeward voyage the thefts extended to the cargo. He then read some entries from his official log, and it appeared that on the 4th October the crew called him aft, and said they had discovered the robbers, and painted out the prisoners as having some of the things mentioned in their berths. In reply to Mr. Chilton, the captain said the place which the crew inhabitied in the ship was open to all alike. Mr. Chilton argued that the articles might have b3en put in the berths by other persons than the prisoners. The evidence was not deemed sufficient, and the prisoners were dis charged. BEFORE MR. J. AIKIN. SERIOUS CASE OF STASHING.—WiIIiam M'Adam, a sailor-like looking person, was charged with having stabbed William Mahon, another sailor, in a dangerous manner. From the evidence of several witnesses, who were examined, it appeared that the parties met in a public house, in Great Howard-st-eet, but were not previously acquainted with the each other. There were some females in their company, and a dispute arose followed by blows, when the prisoner took out a knife and stabbed the complainant in the abdomen. The wounds, although of a serious descrip tion at present, are not considered of a fatal character. The prisoner, who was ably defended by Mr. Blink, was sent for trial, as the case was soo serious to be dealt with sum • marily. SWELLS I —Two swells, but of what grade did not appea-, were brought up on a charge of having created a row in John's Market. and f cr h av i ng assau lt e d one of the market constables. The names given by the defendants were J. B. Littledale and Arthur Edwards There was nothing very remarkable in the case, except the foolishn(ss displayed by the prisoners. They were fined £2 each. THE BEGGING LETTER WRIrEa. —Robert Anderson, charged as a b .Aging-letter writer (see yesterday's NORTHERN TIMES) was brought before Mr. Alderman Holmes, who, on hearing tke whole case, said the prisoner might have stated his age truly in the letter (75), but his conduct closed up charitable springs where charity was really wanting. He sent the prisoner to gaol for three months with bard labour. THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSO"IATION AND THE REV. MR. RIACNAUGHT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN Sir,—The letters, Sze., which have appeared 'in the public papers with regard to the Rev. Mr. Mancaught and the Young Men's Christian Association, reqoire, I think, that some explanation should be given to prevent the association from being placed in a false position. I beg, therefore, that I may be allowed space for a very brief detail of the facts of the case. At a meeting of the Board of Management, held on the 8 - 11 inat., a letter from the Rev. Mr. Macnaught to the Secretary was read. It conveyed his resignation of the office of vice-president ; assigning, as a reason, that he bad heard haw an intention existed that his name should be removed from the list of vice-presidents The resignation was accepted by the board, as has been stated ; but, as regards the reason assigned by the Rev. Mr. M. for his withdrawal, some erroneous reports appear to have been circulated. Some of our members, I am now aware, thought that it rnicht be desirable that Mr. M's. name should be removed from our list ; but until the time at which the resignation was received, the object had never been (as far as T know) even mentioned at any of the meetings of the Thud of Management, and, as a member of that board, I may state that until I was informed by the secretary of the receipt of Mr. M's. letter, I had never heard that any of our members cmsidered his removal desirable. At the Board meeting en the SO, after Mr. M.'s resignation had been accepter', a letter was read from a member of the association, in which he intimated his doubt as to the propriety of the author of a recent work on Inspiration continuing a member with us. The previous proceedings of the meeting had, however, ren dered unnecessary any consideration of the subject. It will thus, I hope, be evident that the Board of Management — the only representative of the association—is in no way re• sponsible for Mr. Macnaught's resignation. It would he manifestly unfair that the association, as a whole, should be beld responsible for the opinions of some of its members, expressed only in c mrersation among themselves, and in one intarmal letter to the Board of Management. I may farther adi that, as I understand our constitution and our laws, it is perfectly clear that no law, no power, even if we had the will, to expel a member unless his conduct shall be such as openly to discredit his profession of Christianity ; or unless he should, avowedly, abandon his belief in Christianity itself. It has been, and it is the earnest endeavour of those to whom the management of this association is entrusted, so to conduct it as to render it acceptable to all Christians it w ould be, therefore, a d angerous prece d ent were we to deal judicially with any memb er w h o , t h oug h h o ldi ng op i n i ons on subjects of grave importance, which may appear to us very far from the truth, still avows that,he maintains his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.— 'I am, sir, your obdt. servant, A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OP MANAGEMENT.

At the Leeds Court House on Monday, a burly fellow, well known to the police, named James Gilpin, alias " Doggy," who resides in Marsh Lane, was charged with garotting a young man, named John Crowther, mechanic, of Pittlield Place, Hunslet, on Saturday evening, within a few yards of the most important thoroughfare in Leeds. Mr. Crowther was proceeding into Brig ate, and was in the White Hart Yard and within a few paces of Brig gate, when he was assaulted by two men. On of the miscreants seized him by the throat, and garotted him after the most approved fashion. While on the ground, the second man kicked him about the upper part of the body. They rifled his pockets ; Crowther having slightly recovered himself, sung out for assistance, and his cries being heard by some hundreds of persons who are at that hour traversing that important thoroughfare, two men, named Richar,l Bromwich and Titus Beil, hastened to his assistance. One of the villains ran down the yard and escaped, but before the second man could release himself front the gripe of Crowther, the invoked assistance was at hand, and the ruffian was arrested after running a few yard s . He turned out to be the prisoner Gilpin. Mr. Crowther was removed to the White Hart Inn, where his face and neck were dressed. He was then suffering from several severe contusions about the head, and blood had issued from his mouth and ears, owing to the violence of the treatment to which he had been subjected. He had just previously changed half a sovereign into silver, but had taken the precaution of depositing it into a pocket book, which fortunately escaped the noticeof the thieves. Gilpin was Committed to take his trial at the next York assizes. - _ - The new la w for the regulation of the public schools of Sweden, as passed by the late diet, is now published.
