THE SUN, LONDON, FRI DA Y EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1849

Zymosis" declares that " an excess of ozone is imme-
diately connected with influenza, and that a deficiency
is the concomitant of cholera." In other, and, per-
haps, simpler words, " that influenza is the peculiar
form of disease produced when the atmosphere is plus,
and the cholera when it is minus that particular amount
(of ozone) which appears necessary for producing
the proper changes in the body." Now
whether this argument be sound or illusive, it is
certain that it is borne out by many startling corro-
borative circumstances. For example, the deficiency
of ozone in the atmosphere during times of cholera is
sufficiently demonstrated by the experiment made in
St. Petersburgh during the period of its devastations
in that capital, when a magnet ordinarily capable of
sustaining a weight of 501bs. had its power gradu-
ally diminished to 251b5., a fact clearly indicating
the absence of the usual amount of ozone—ozone
being directly dependent upon the intensity of the
electrical action. Nor must the experiment in ques-
tion be regarded as isolated and as consequently re-
stricted in its application; for the calculation made
in the capital of Russia has been found on inquiry to
tally to a nicety with that made by the Belgic philo-
sopher, M. QUETELET. Again, the fact adduced by
" Anti-Zymosis" to the effect " that ozone is always
formed during combustion," is singularly in
accordance with the remarkable immunity from the
pestilence enjoyed by such towns as Berlin, as Lyons,
and as Birmingham—towns in which are continually

burning the large fires employed in the labours of
different manufactures. Various experiments are
suggested by the writer for the purpcso of testing the
accuracy of his arguments, such as the employing of
a mixture of white starch and iodide of potassium to
discern the presence of ozone in the atmosphere
—when a blue colour would be imparted to the
starch, the iodine being liberated. He also suggests
the advisability of endeavouring to discover whether
or not ozone may be artificially produced, as, for
instance, " by discharging a series of electric sparks
through a mixture of vapour and oxygen"—showing
by the failure or the success of those experiments
whether ozone be a binoxide, or a teroxide, or a
sesquioxide of hydrogen. Altogether, while ac-
knowledging that the hypothesis of " Anti-Zymosis"
is at present in a very crude or elementary condition,
we are satisfied that there are sufficient truths com-
prised in his argument to justify further investigation.

Meantime, while efforts are beingseriously
to detect the actual or proximate cause of the epi-
demic, a rational amount of precaution in cleanliness,
diet, and a speedy demand of medical treatment, is
absolutely incumbent upon every individual through-
out the United Kingdom.

In the observations which we felt it our duty to
offer in our impression of the 9th ultimo on the pro-
bable consequences of the decision of the Learned
Chief Commissioner of the Insolvent Court, in re
CHARLES THROSBY, we gave full credit to that emi-
nent and experienced Judge for the praiseworthy
motives by which he was actuated—motives that in-
duced him to depart in some degree from the spirit
and object of the code which it was his duty to ad-
minister. We believe, however, that a most dange-
rous precedent was established—a precedent affording
the strongest encouragement to the " credit system"
at our Universities, which would induce the
creditors, " who almost thrust credit on young
men," to drive matters to extremities, to
refuse any compromises that might be offered,
believing that they would still obtain everything
they could hope for, after
.subjecting their victim to
the degradation and injury of appealing to the Court
for a discharge, and which would prevent parents or
friends from coming forward to offer any partial
payment, since they would be held thereto, although
the objects for which the offer was made had been
defeated. We also showed that the decision might
have a very injurious result on the unfortunate young
man, who, although expressly " exonerated" by the
presiding Judge " from any charge of con-
tracting his debts by false representations, or
by any means that trenched upon morality
and gentlemanly conduct, beyond his having involved
himself in unnecessary expenses," might be subjected
" to a protracted imprisonment, far more than would
be inflicted if he had been guilty of reckless and un-
principled conduct."
From an application made to the Court on Monday
last, reported in The Sun of the following day, it
will be seen that our anticipations have been fully
verified, and that Mr. Tnaosny still remains
in Close custody, his father's solicitors not
considering themselves warranted, under the
instructions received from that gentleman, in
complying with the condition upon which the dis-
charge was directed, by payment into court of the
sum of 2501. sterling. These gentlemen were still
willing to pay the full sum of 3001., provided a release
were executed by all the creditors, by which the in

solvent would be discharged from any future demands)
and having communicated that offer to all the parties
named in the schedule, seventeen creditors, whose
debts amounted in the whole to 5461. 16s. ld., being
three-fourths in value, and more than one half in
number, returned answers accepting the terms
proposed. Mr. Thomas RANDALL, however, the
liberal and accommodating THOMAS RANDALL, who
" claims for himself the privilege of placing some con-
fidence in the honour of that portion of the chivalry
of England who pass for purposes of education the
period between raw youth and matured manhood in
the university," did not condescend to return any
reply. The proposition was treated with sovereign
contempt by that excellent tradesman, who, although
" he did not wish to keep the insolvent in custody,
and was far from wishing to keep any gentleman in
prison, could not consent to forego his claim upon
the insolvent's future earnings." He would have the
full penalty of his bond. He would have the labour
of the young man, whose prospects in life had
been materially prejudiced, if not irretrievably
blighted, mortgaged until the amount contracted " at
West-end prices, and interest at the rate of five per
cent. after two years," should be liquidated to the
uttermost farthing. It was nothing to the champion
of the system that the young man whom he himself
admitted to have had "nothing that an undergraduate
in his circumstances might not fairly have required,
and who, after the first year, had, become more
sparing in his orders, and had only what was neces-

1 sary," might linger in a gaol, acquiring habits even
more injurious and demoralising than those contracted
at that ancient seat of learning, the University of
Oxford. The " pound of flesh" should be obtained,
and the course adopted by the Chief Commissioner,
whose health, we doubt not, was toasted with " three
times three," and one cheer more, at the festive board
in the vicinity of the " ruination shop," led to the
hope that his obstinacy might be attended with the
desired result. Under these circumstances no course
remained but a new application to the Court to cancel
the condition annexed to the judgment, and to decree
the immediate discharge of the insolvent.
The proceedings afforded the strongest illustration
of the danger of any departure from the beaten
track. In vain the Commissioner endeavoured to
arbitrate between the parties—in vain he "recom.
mended" Mr. RANDALL, and those who acted under
his auspices, to sign a release upon receiving their
dividends out of the 3001.—about 7s. in the pound--
and to leave the residue " to the honour of the young
man and the feelings of his family." Mr. RANDALL
would retain "his hold on the future property," be-
sides he had "other* to consult, :and begged to defer
giving his opinion." In vain the Chief Commissioner
appealed to Messrs. Yousin and VALLINGS to recon-
sider their decision, urging that the discharge
which he could pronounce would give a full discharge
to the insolvent, with the exception that the creditors

might hereafter apply to the Commissioners of the
Court, in the event of the insolvent's becoming possessed

of property."
_These gentlemen continued firm to
their instructions, which only authorised the payment

in the event of a full and unconditional release.
What, then, was to be done ? An immediate dis.

charge would exhibit in the strongest light the grave
mistake which the Learned Judge himself had com-
mitted, while a lengthened remand could scarcely
be justified under the spirit of the insolvent
code, where the applicant was exonerated
from any charge of contracting his debts, by
false representations, or by any means that trenched
on morality and gentlemanly conduct, beyond his
having involved himself in unnecessary expenses." A
middle course was therefore adopted, and the case
was again adjourned until the lith instant, when
final judgment will be pronounced.
We cannot conclude without referring to the ad.

mirable judgment of Mr. J. B. PARRY, Q.C., in the
still more recent " Oxford Insolvency." The Learned
Gentleman said—

" The Insolvent Act was to prevent fraud, and to
punish those who fraudulently obtained goods without
any reasonable or probable expectation of being able to
pay for them. The insolvent had not been guilty of
either, and, therefore, he thought it would be contrary
to the policy of the law and the public welfare to pre-
clude him from providing for himself by his own exer-
tions, or from setting aside any portion of his earnings
towards the liquidation of his debts. He should, there-
fore, order his discharge, but would remark, that it was
very proper that the insolvent should pay his debts if he
should ever come into possession of means to do so."

This is a just and equitable judgment. As such
we commend it to the consideration of the Chief
Commissioner. By refusing a discharge until the
2501. is paid, he may condemn the young man to
perpetual imprisonment, or force an innocent party
to pay money from his own resources that he had
never received from the insolvent ; for it is, we be-
lieve, only in cases of fraudulent preference or sup-
pression of assets, that such conditions have hereto-
fore been annexed to the discharge. A most un-
merited stigma would thus be attached to the name
of this unfortunate young gentleman, that may
materially prejudice his future career—a prejudice
which we are convinced the Learned Chief Com-
missioner would himself be the first to deplore if
created by any ill-considered or hasty decision on his
part.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
An official notification has been received by the
PRESIDENT of the Republic of the intention of the
Emperor of Russia to immediately withdraw all his
forces from Hungary.

The Government has determined, in accordanCe
with the recommendation of the greater number of
the Councils-General of the Departments. to re-
establish the duty on potable liquors.
The Moniteur announces that M. DX RESSEGUIER,
representative of the people, has been pleased to
accede to a request made to him by the Minister of
Public Instruction, to accept a mission to proceed to
Algiers to collect all the information that may seem
calculated to promote tits development of education
and charitable institutions in Algeria. He is accord.
ingly to embark for the colony by the fit st packet
from Toulon.
The Evenement says—
" According to a letter from Rome, addressed to a
member of the Cabinet, General Oudinot is to be in
Paris before the 20th instant. The General is expected
with impatience by the Government, to whom he can,
better than any one, give explanations on the Roman
question, and the attitude of the reactionary cardinals."
The embarrassments of the French Government
consequent upon their interference in the affairs of
Rome continue to increase. The Cardinals have, it
is declared, positively stated that they will pay no
attention to the suggestions of the French Govern-
ment, and orders have, consequently, been dispatched
to Generel ROSTOLAN to virtually depose the Car-
dinals and assume the reins of government himself,
in order to defend the Roman citizens against the
outrages perpetrated by the vengeance-seeking sa-
cerdotal faction. The Sentinelle of Toulon of the Ist
publishes the following :
" It is announced that a steamer touched yesterday at
Antibes, where it brought very pressing dispatches
relative to Roman affairs. They announce that the
Pope has decided to enter his capital, and to en-
trust the administration of his states to secular func-
tionaries."
This report needs confirmation.
M. RAVEZ, who, under the Monarchy, was at one
time President of the Chamber of Deputies, died on
Sunday at Bourdeax of the cholera.
At about two o'clock yesterday, as the crowd cf
speculators and curious began to assemble in the
Salle de la Bourse, one of the clerks of the Tribunal
of Commerce remarked with astonishment, in one of
the galleries near the corbeille of the agena de change.
a rather large package, from which smoke issued,
with a strong smell of saltpetre. Having called
the attendants, the fire in the paper was extin-
guished without accident, and the package was
conveyed to the office of the Commissary of Police
at the Bourse. The package was found to contain
sixteen cartridges. If it had not been discovered an
explosion would very shortly have taken place.
According to all probability this infernal machine
was prepared to enable malefactors to commit rob-
beries in the panic which the explosion would have
caused. An investigation has been commenced, but
no one has yet been arrested, though several persons
are strongly suspected. Some years ago an extensive
robbery was committed in a gambling house in the
Palais Royal in the alarm caused by the explosion of
an infernal machine.

M. BERTIN, the ad interim Mayor of Havre, having
given in his resignation, in consequence of the vote of
the Municipal Council, disapproving of hii speech to
the PRESIDENT of the Republic, the Sub-Prefect ha,,
appointed M. PERQUER, a member of the Council, to
replace him.
The inauguration of the railroad from Paris to
Tonnerre will take place on Sunday next, as already
announced. It is thought that the PRESIDENT of the
Republic will, notwithstanding the length of the
journey, be able to return to Paris on the same day.
Intelligence has been received from Guadaloupe, of
the Bth, that serious disturbances had taken place at
Point i Pitre.

The Patric says that, according to the dispatches
that have been received by Government from the
divers prefets, it is improbable that many Councils
General will demand the revision of the Constitution.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, SEP. 4.—The Grand Duchess HELENA ar-
rived here yesterday and set out for Warsaw in the
evening. According to report the Grand Duke
MICHAEL has sunk under his late severe attack. M.
DE PERSIGNY, Aide•de-camp of the President BONA-
PARTE, and Envoy of the French Republic has ar-
rived here from Paris.

The electric telegraph between Berlin and Stokin
is new completed. The wires are laid along the rail-
way line under ground.
The Berliner Nachreeten says that the Hanoverian
Cabinet has not only not given in its concurrence to
the opening of the German Diet, but has put various
obstacles in the way, from an apprehension that if
Bavaria and Wirtemburg do not give in their ad-
hesion to the alliance, Prussia will have a preponde•
rating majority in the Diet.
The Prussian Government in the meantime will
pursue the course agreed upon, and will consider such
of the States as have not sent in a declaration of their
concurrence, by the 15th instant, as desirous of
being for the present excluded from the Union of
Germany.

HONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a dull market for Cotton at Liverpool yes-
terday, and prices were without alteration. The sales
were estimated at from 7 000 to 8,000 bales, about 3,000
bales of which were taken for export and on specula-
tion.—The Share Market opened rather firmly, but
closed heavily, and prices had a downward tendency.
In the Grain Market this morning there is extreme
dulness, and prices have further declined. The arrivals
are large, including 21,880 quarters of foreign wheat.
In the markets for colonial and foreign produce this
week there has been a moderate business, and within
the last two days holders are firm and offer less. Coffee
has been very firm. Generally the export demand for
goods has been rather slack, and staples used for
manufacturing purposes have been quieter. The
following is a report upon the state of the metal market
during the past month, as furnished by Mr. William
Short:—

" There has been an improved demand for Welch
bar iron during the past month. Makers have
realised Si. ss. per ton, free on board
in Wales, for parcels for immediate delivery ;
and in second hands there is nothing to be
had under Si. 2s. 6d. per ton. For rails there is also
more inquiry. The price of Staffordshire Iron is without
alteration. Owing to a strike among the colliers, some
difficulty was recently experienced in executing orders,
but these have now returned to work, and supplies can be
had from Staffordshire as before. In Scotch Pigs there
has been a comparative absence of business; the market
wears a drooping aspect, and the price is nominally 445.
6d mixed numbers ordinary brands, and 48s. per ton No.
1 Garthsherrie. In Sweedes Iron there is little doing.
Copper has, of late, been in good demand, and at
the present price the copper houses evince little inclina-
tion to add to their orders. A rise is generally antici-
pated. English tin is in moderate request, and the price
firm. Foreign is little inquired for. Straits was bought
in at public sale at 68s. per cwt. Coke tin
plates are much inquired for, and are still
scarce, owing to a continued deficiency in the supply of
water required for the Tin-plate Works. Lead is in
moderate request. Holders ask 15/. and 151. ss. per ton
on the spot, and for Spelter to arrive 141. 17s. 6d. per
ton has been paid. The stock here is small,
only 1,360 tons, against 2,800 tons at this
period last year ; but it is apprehended
that a considerable quantity must now came in from
the other aide before the closing of the navigation, and
holders, consequence, in hesitate to purchase.'
The Llamburgh mail of Tuesday brings the quotation
for bills on London at 13s. 9d., and the price of gold
at 436. There was a good deal doing in the exchanges.
The market for stocks and shares was firm.
Accounts from Poland state that the harvest in that
country will not be good, and that heavy rains had re-
cently injured the scanty crops.
The Continental Stock-markets, according to the
letters received this day, were all buoyant. At Am-
sterdam, Dutch Bonds had still a tendency to. rise.
The Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 54k. In Spanish
and Portuguese Bonds there was no alteration. At
Berlin Foreign Stocks were all rising considerably on
the 4th instant, ;and at Frankfort, on the 4th instant,
shares were advancing, and Austrian Stock was without
change. In the Vienna market, on the Ist instant, the
Metallics were quoted 95.
Beyond the fact of continued firmness, there Is
nothing to remark upon in connexion with the English
Stock Market. Consols remain at 924it0 ; the Re-
duced Three per Cents. have been 921 to ; and the
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 93} to 94k.
Bank Stock has been firm at 200. Exchequer bills have
been marked 395. to 425. premium, and India Bonds,
735. to 765. premium.
In the Foreign Securities business is not animated.
Spanish Five per Cents. are 17i to 18, and Portuguese
Four per Cents. nominally 28 to 29. Brazil Bonds have
been 85 to 87. Danish Stock has been 72i Mexican
Bonds are 27k.
Railway Shares, although very quiet, are looking
tolerably firm; but Midland and the other York lines
are flatter.

HEALTH OF THE DEAN or HEREFORD.—SOMe of
the London papers have stated that the health of Dr.
Merewether was such as to give serious uneasiness to
his friends—in fact, that he was dangerously ill. We
hear that the very rev, gentleman has been suffering
under a severo attack of rheumatism caught during
the excavations at Silbury Hill, which we have before
noticed, but we saw him in this city on Saturday last,
when he was well, cheerful, and actively attending to
business as usual. That he may enjoy his wonted
health and be long spared
,is the ardent wish of his
numerous friends, admirers of his learning and talents i
in this city rind neighbourhood..-Herefird Journal.
