" Bones [Badly] Set."
SOUNDNESS OF THE LuNcia...l—A physician of
burgh proposes an ingenious and practical test
ing the soundness of the lung'. The patient is directed
to draw in a full breath, and then begin to wont:
as he can slowly and audibly, without again drawing
in his breath. The number of seconds he can cow:-

counting is then to be carefully noted. In
consumption, the time dues nut exceed eight, and
often less than six seconds In pleurisy and pneumonia
is ranges from nine to fourteen seconds. But when the
lungs are sound, the time will range as high as
twenty to thirty-five seconds.
Tuesday night the horse of Mr. Richard Hicks, if
Newgate Market, took fright at the noise of a stage
coach passing over some gravel near the Horse Guards,
and,the more exertions he used to sooth and stop his
the more he galloped and pulled. Finding, from tte
number of carriages driving in all directions, 'hemp
sibility of avoiding a most serious accident, unless im-
mediately stopped (going at the rate of sixteen miles ao
hour), opposite Drummond's, Mr. Hicks drove him
with his head against the lamp post, which stunned
him, and he immediately fell. The chaise ssasoeerseti
and Mr. and Mrs. Hicks, and a friend and his de,
were thrown out, but providentially none ut them War
hurt, except only a few slight bruises. The tome vs
killed. Mr. Hicks adopted the expedient of drivirel
horse against the post as the only chance of saving the
lives or limbs of himself and party.
The system of imposition practised by the itinersot
Irish labourers, who come over here every summer to
get in the English harvest, has been disclosed to a Coto.
mittee of the House of Commons, and is of a very CU'
riot's nature. We understand that one man, governing
a gang of twenty or thirty, brings them over here and
leads them through the country, he making the bar-
gains for work with the farmers and receiving the
wages. He advances money on account as they go on,
and when the harvest is over, most of them rsttittlto
their native country through the medium of parochial
passes here, although they have several guineas secure,
in the waistband of their breeches, and in other pets ct,
their dress. This would appear to afford a strong rot
of the wretchedness in which they ate placed hone,
when they are obliged to resort to these devices tonal
back the amount of their rents to their landlords, aod
