In the monsistering diarists I her, the

Manchester Athenimm, seemed es propene@ boil a

And no weeder, Mr. Editor, far these besting's from
the very first have missed their reel °biotite. They
have never berm meohenks' initiates; their mem-
ber have, in almost every ease, both drawn from the
slams' jest shove the mechanic is mein states—
clerks, seopkeepere, professional thee, sad the Lico—
sa entirely miscellaneous body, having no pursuits,
hardly a set of ideas in common. So soon es this feet
developed itself, it was obvious to all men of judg-
ment that the mechanics' institute, idea of taking
rank and discharging the fanatics@ den abeen
college for the artisan—would gradually sink into a
mere nab for the conveeinti of the novel
and newspaper reading community. It has now
done 40 tom y, and no working man
in mill or 'se shop ever dreams of entering
the society which has taken as its title the designa-
tion of his clue. How this new problem in the pro-
gress of education is to be solved I shall not venture
to Resume, bat shall simply, at present, claim for the
experiment of Mr. Moms a fair trial end • cautious
juagment. He is now trying to marry out on a
smaller seals—emoog men acquainted with sack
other, end having common pursuits and occupations—
the ideas which Dr. Birkbeek first launched, and which
Lord Broagham made so popular .by his famous
article in the Edlobsoryh Renew. The educational
society which they have founded is known as the
Charlton Mills Mutual Improvement Society. It is
located in a small building, formerly two cottages,
edioininr the factory yard. It is divided into elan
room', library, and news rooms, and is well lighted
with gas, and ventilated. The liberal employers
have supplied all the desks and other fittings, and
also a number of maps, pictures, &0., which adorn the
walls of the rooms. They also give the coals, gee,
&e., end pay for the cleaning of the place. There are
four classes held in the evening, which, with the ex-
ception of the adult male cite, are all free to the
whole of the hands employed in the mills. There are
four paid teachers, three of which are remunerated
by the firm, the other oat of the funds of the society,
and several unpaid teachers, who are young men em-
ployed in the concern. The average attendance at
the classes, at the present time, is between 60 and 70.
The lawny c "stains about 900 volumes, many of
which are novels—for Mr. Morris is well aware that
the taste for needing la a growing taste, which finds
its first food in • less substantial literature than it is
afterwards content with—but there is also a fair num-
ber of biographical, scientific, and historical books in
the collection. The subscription to it is a halfpenny
per week. The subscription to the newsroom and
library is one penny per week. The news sad read-
ing rooms are open all the day, so that at meal times,
or when any of the hands are waiting for work, they
may pass their time in reading the various tows-
papers and periodicals takes ie. The periodicals sad
newspapers taken in are chiefly of the liberal sort.
They have only one daily paper—of course the Daily
News: the Weekly Chronicle, Standard of Freedom.
Northern Star, Punch, Household Word., Chambers'
Journal, and several others complete the list ot perio-
dicals. It is extremely interesting to see a number of
working men passing their evenings in this course of
reading instead of wasting their time and health—
their present and future, in the low public-houses with
which the neighbourhood abounds.

Mr. Harwood, a eon of Dr. Harwood, to that gentleman's
residenes, at Broom-grove. After partaking of copper, he
and Mr. Harwood estanad Miss Wragg, a young lady visitor,
home. Before parting with Mr. Harwood at Mr. kry's door,
an appointment wee nude by Mr. Smith to meet Westin fol-
lowing evening. In eonsequence of the death of Mr. Ju.
several of the members of hie family had come from a distance i
Murder to attend the funeral, which took place oa Saturday;
sad is consequence of all the rooms of the house being occupied
a bed was made up in Mr. Smith's room for Mr John Ray,
of Barnsley, • brother of the deceased gentlemen. Mr.
Smith retired to rest about half-past eleven oa Sunday night.
and was followed by Mr. Ray twenty minutes afterwards. !
He found that Mr. Smith had put out his light and was
apparently asleep. After be had been in bed shoat a quer-
ter of an hour be heard Mr. Smith moaa, sad, in soave-
queue, raised blimp' on the pillow, sad listened atten
tively for a few minutes As there was no repetition of the
noise he concluded that Mr. Smith bad bees dreaming, and
accordingly composed himself to sleep. Os awaking the
following morning, about its o'clock, Mr. Ray arms and
while dressing, called to Mr. Smith, but as he did not
reply, and eppeared to be asleep, so further at-
tempt was mode to disturb him. The family
assembled for breakfast about half-past eight, when
inquiry was leads for Mr. Saab, who had not then made
his appearence. One of the domestics went up to the bed-
room, the door of which was found wide open, and knocked
loudly without receiving any answer. She walked to the
bedside and sho. k Mr. Smith by the shoulder, but fading to
wake him, she ran down stairs and gave an alarm. Mr.
Jeanne, surgeon, whose house adjoins Mr. Hsy's. was im-
mediately called in, and be, on entering the room, found
Mr. Smith laid upon his right side, quite dead. la his
hands he held a pocket-hasdkerthief, whisk was firmly
premed to his mouth and nostrils. His knees were parti-
ally drawn up, and his limbs were in a state of rigid octa-
-1 Manion. Mr. Smith, it appear, has for a considerable
period berm in the habit of inhaling chloroform, which
he poured upon his handkerchief, sad applied to the
nostrils, for the purpose of allaying a severe pain in
the fee to which he woe subleet. He had 1110M-
phised of pain in the face on Sudsy, bat does not ap-
pear to have resorted to hie natal remedy stroll retiring far
the night. A bottle width had contained chloroform was
rowed uncorked in the watch-pocket at the heed of the bed,
led in • private drawer of Mr. Smiths there were also footed
two bottles labelled chloroform, one of whisk was empty.
and the other contained hell as ounce. There seems no
doubt from the medical seldom, that 111 r. Smith, after
retiring to rest, had poured chloroform from the' bottle
found in the watch-pocket upon his handkerchief, and while
inhaling this became laseasible, and afterwards rallied
from the state of unemesioueess into which It threw him.

sim. Before the sale the agent of the French government
claimed 300 cheats. The site accordingly took place, and it
appeared from a list furnished by the government agent that
with the except:lea of seventy five chests purchased by • Yr.
Pereira at the rawof 1,760 rupees per chest, the whole of
the P•taa opium was purchased by the respoodenta at sumo
which made the average pries amount to rather name them
1793 rupees per chest. The average price at the sae
sew greatly enhanced by the efforts of the roe-
pondents' agouti. Y. Pereira, it appeared had
mosive4 orders from Chian to buy, and was
not limited as to prat : he considered it to be his
duty to bay at any price, and stead that for
those 75 chests he would have gone to 2,000 rupees • cheat,
*beach he considered the prim very high. It seemed that
the respondents' repreentative had paid the government for
the whole of the opines excepting that purchased by re
reins', and it must have required an immense command of
capital to have enabled the respondents to operate as they
d.d upon the market, for the inua paid by the.. to the go-
vernment exceeded 24 lskhe of rupees; and soon after the
sale this vary opium, or at least • port** of it, was sold by
them at 1,200 and 1,300 rupee per ohm, so that to pis
by such • transaction the number and extent of their
weger.coutratie mut have been immense. Chief Jostles
Perry held in the court below " that the respondents wen
sot bound by any rule of law, nor by the roles of morality
received amongst mankind at large, to disclose to the appel-
lants that they intended to make larger purchases than
upon former occasions, and it was the appellants' own fault
for not perceiving that (Premium..., in the pretest cam
enabled the respondents to do so with effect. The respoa-
dente must therefore have judgment for this difference ou
the several contracts in the deelazatioa." It was from this
jodgment that the present appeal was made.
The Olee was adjounted till tomorrow (this day).

Room v. P —ACTION TO 11100171 CONITISO••

TION 101 LW AIIIIULT.

Mr. Serjeent Wilkes and Mr. Will.. were emote' for the
plaintiff, and Mr. fierjeant lee sad another learned gen-
tleman represented the t.
This was an action brought by a tea dealer and agent
(tuning on badness in Miter-street, in the City, and
also is Dublin, to recover compensation is damages
for an assault committed upon him by the defen-
dant. It appeared that on the 3rd of February,
1349, the defendant came into the plaintiff's counting-
house about flee o'clock in the afternoon, and the
clerk of the plaintiff was desired to leave the counting-
holm, which he did, but placed himself outside the emoting.
house, so that he could perceive what was going on inside.
From his statement it seemed that some conversation en-
sued between the plaintiff and the defendant, when the
plaintiff sole a remark in a low tone of voice, to which the
ddendsnt replied by calling him • liar, and rushed at his
and struck him woes the face with his umbrella, thereby
cutting hi. lip open. The defendant also struck the plaintiff'
with his lett hand, end toadied him ever a chair,
by which he was much hurt in the hack. Upon
the assault taking place the plaintiff's clerk returned
into the eonatisg.licuse, and by the direction of hie
master, be went and fetched a policeman. Upon the arrival
of the officer the plaintiff said he merely wished the de-
(indent to leave his premises, which he did by the peons-
lion of the policeman. In the month of Autos, 1849, the
plaintiff became very unwell, and • lumbar abates, sabot-
, quently formed in his back, which the plaintiff alleged arose
tramthelaseault. The plaintiff was unable for • long time
to attend to his London business, in consequence of which it
fell off very much. It became necessary to have the abeam
opened, which, after Dr. Roberts, the medical 'Pendant
of the plaintiff, had consulted with Mr. Cock, @se-
ism to Guy's Hospiol, and Mr. Bransby Cooper,
was accordingly done. The plaintiff after • time recovered ;
bat it was stated by his counsel that he would always be
'object to abscesses in his bark. From the evidence of Dr.
Roberts, who stated that his bill for attending upon the
plaintiff was 701. ; and from the evident* of Mr. Cook and
Mr. Bransby Cooper, It appeared that La their opinion the
limber abetter was caused by the plaintiff having been
knoeked over the chair. Evidence was WOO *WWII to show
that the plaintiff's business in Lemke had beet a very
goad one before he was compelled to absent himself from it,
after which time it decreased.
Mr. Berjeant Bylea, for the defines, said that his client had
pleaded that he was the party first assaulted, bat unions.
stately he had no means of proving that plea. Is was clear,
however from what had been elicited on cross-examination
of the plaintiff's witnesses that the plaintiff was Indebted to
the defendant in a considerable sum of money, and that the
defendant had oontinually applied to the plaintiff for money
without success. It was also clear that tke defendant had
called the plaintiff a liar, but it did not appear what the
Observation was that calledi forth that unceremonious re-
mark. With respect to the alma being the result of the as-
sash he (Mr. Sett. Biles) denied that there was any evi-
dence to show that that was the feet, but on
the contrary it appeared that some months had elapsed be-
fore the abase appeared in the plaintiff's back, and also be-
fore he bad any thing toe matter with it, and therefore it
was very likely that the abatis was not attributable to the
assault at all.

The Lord Chief Jut's*, is summing up, said, that ea the
defendant admitted the assault there must be a verdict foe
the plaintiff, and the only question to be considered was
what amount of danumes the plaintiff ought to bays. The
jury would take into their consideration whether or not the
abase which formed in the plaintsfrs back was the result of
the assault.
