I can hardly offer a better reason for calling in the ser-

faculties of the human mind, and of the phenomenon of their
working, than any of the metaphysical systems. It is emi-
nently, we think, the system of mental philosophy for the un-
learned man, becauseit is much less abstract than any other.
In perusing the account which it gives of the mind and its
parts, ordinary people feel for the first time that they have
ground whereon to rest the soles of their feet."
To this I may add, that the science of phrenology is to
the study of the mind and its attributes what geography
and the use of the globes is to the study of the globe upon
which we exist.
I have said that the key to Catholicism consisted in the
degradation of the intellectual faculties of mankind.
Phrenologists have divided the faculties of the brain
into three distinct groups, first, the intellectual group,
situated in front of the skull ; secondly, the moral group,
at the top; and thirdly, the animal passions, which are at
the back of the skull.

CHILD CHOKED WITH A BLAN•—On Friday an inquest
was held upon the body of a little boy, aged about four
years, who, a day or two ago, was playing with some
beans, when, in attempting to swallow one, it stuck fast
in his throat, and choked the poor little fellow. The jury
found a verdict accordingly.

Ick, of smith Castle-street, has

ontrived a

plan for opening and shutting gates by means of a spring,
which can be acted upon by the pressure of a horse's foo
or the wheel of a carriage, thus obviating the necessi
for alighting. We understand that it can be

applied to

any kind of gates at a trifling cost.
