COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—(Tnis DAT.)

CRIM CON.

LAING r. =Awns.

Mr. BROUGHAM, for the lielendani,ntOved to make a tale
absolute, calling on the Plaintiff to chew cause why the
writ of enquiry in this cause, should not be delayed, oa
the ground that the defendant was out of the country and
that his father, who bad general instructions to act for
hint, had been unable to communicate with him on the
subject of this action, which was brought against him on
the Gth of November.
Mr. SGARLETT chewed cause against the rule. The
plaintiff is master and owner of a vessel trading to South
America ; the defendant is an attorney of this Court.
He should not object to the delay, if the defendant's
father would give security for the costs; but he must
also have judgment of the term. Although the
father bad sworn that lie had received a letter front
the son, subsequent to his leaving Paris, in which it
is stated that be had been taken ill. and that he, the father,
believes that to be the reason why his letters bad misted,
him, nothing is said about where the lady was. It wea
believed that the defendant intended to reside permanently
iu France, and that he was making away with his property
and getting it out et the reach of an execution of the court.
Mr. Pottocw, on the santehide, said that although the
action was not brought tillANotreinber, the defendant hut
intimation as early as the beginning of September, that as
action would be brought.
Mr. BROUGHAM said that the defendant bad been inform.
ed that an action mould be brought ; but threats were often
made and afterwards abandoned. No notice of ileac)* was
given. As to what had been said about his client's making
away with his property, there was just as much evidence
could be given that he was not making away with it.
CUIRFJUSTIGE ABBOTT—WiII the father pay the costs
of delay ? Will you live judgment of Me tertn, and ea.
dertake that no writ oferror snail be brought ?
Mr. BROUGHAM, after consultation with the attorney Hi
, the cause, assente I.
Mr. SCARLET said, that, on those term; be would gin
' six weeks, in lieu of a month's delay.
Mr. Ham:Guam sail, it would be more convenient to
, have within a week of Hilary Term, or, only 4 weeks. 114
he would take the 6 weeks.
' lade made absolute on these terms.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
(lEOII TDB DUBLIN Ova ratio Nast 01P TVESDAY.)
A iiyr. of this City, well known in the Corinthise
circles, had resided for the lest few weeks at Tieknock, in the
Dublin mountains, having with hire a young lady, aged about
IS years, possessing considerable beauty, and passing for his
wife, but whom, it is now thought, was his alert antic, set
supposed to have been seduced by him. A few days since Mr.
W. changed his residence from (as it is said) coins feeling et
jealousy, and pieced his fair unfortunate in the house of a per-
son, named Cardiff; in the suburbs, on the south side-of the
city, and having occasion to come to town on Sunday evening,
he left the young lady in the lodgings, who, 6 udiug herself lone•
some, requested of Mrs. Cardiff to permit herdaughter, a young
woman of about her own age, to sleep with her that night, Is
which Mrs. Cardiff consented, and yesterday roomiest. not
geeing her daughter come down for some time after her used
hour of rising, Mrs. Cardiff knocked at the door, after some
delay, and not receiving any answer, the door was forced oyes,
when the wretched mother's eyes were struck with the appallieg
sight of—her daughter and the young lady lying lifelu! !!
A bottle was found in the room, containing a liquid, which hes
been ascertained to be poison. An inquest was to be held this
morning.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
[llOll TIE DUBLIN WANING POSY or WEDNESDAY.]
A young lady named Margaret Thompson. possessing aces
siderable share of beauty, and scarrely eighteen years orate,
has been residing for some time at Ticknock, a little beyond
Bellinteer,•Dandrues, at the foot of the Dublin Mountains,
under the protection of a gentleman of this City. On solidly
evening, this young lady, Dein alone, requested of Mrs. Car-
diff, in whose house she lodged, to allow her daughter, a young
woman abeut her own age, to sleep with her, and Mrs. Cara
having consented, the two young ladies retired for the night.—
On Monday morning, some time having elapsed beyond the
usual hour of Miss Cardiff's rising, without her having made
her appearance, Mrs. Cardiff proceeded to the chamber where
they had slept, and knocked at the door repeatedly without re•
ceising any answer. The door was then burst open, and the
agonised mother beheld her dinette* and the other young lady
lying lifeless. The reports through town yesterday respecting
this melancholy occurrence,,Were very erroneous; moo;
othors, it wes said, that they Were poisoned. There was ae
foundation whatever for thiestatement ; their death is supposed
to have occurred is consequence,of a charcoal fire being kept
in the room where they,slept,iwhich wavill ventilated, and the
chimney defective. This dangerous kind :n/ (eel, it Is believed
thus caused them to he suffatita.--Burgrola Nl•tNiansara has
examined the contents of the stomachs of taith the deceased:
we understand they exhibit no symptoms orippearance of
poison.
A Coroner's Jury sat on the bodies yesterday. The Jail
adjourned without returning a ver.ict until this they.

CANAL CELEBRATION AT ALBANY.—Agreeably to
pee
vious arrangements, the celebration of the passage of the
first Boat front the Grand Canal into the Hudson, was mla
brated at Albany on Wednesday last, in great style. A
delegation of 40 citizens from New York attended to girt
the congratulation of that City to the citizens of Allmay.
At 12 o'rlork, the elegant Canal float, the De WO
Clinton appeared, superbly ornamented, and at the worm
of entering the Huilson;llfit''Weas saluted by a general
discharge of cannon, and huzzas of thesauri'.
After the boat was safely moored in the North River, tis
Canal Commissioners and their associates disembarked
and a brilliant procession was formed, which moved tour
capitol Hill, when various interesting ceremonies ael
performed, which we have not room to notice at presem.
The Eric Canal is about 363 miles long, and is all firoshoh
except about 30 miles at its western extremity, from had'

SHIP MANUFACTORY IN TIIE UNITED STATES.

The tonnage of America in 1910, was estimated at seventy
one millions of dollars in cable, two thirds of which were em-
ployed in the foreign trade. With the exception of a consider-
able part of the sail cloth, and an inconsiderable sum for bunt-
ing fur colours, this vast amount of value is produced out of
the growth of our own soil, sod of our forests. Os en su-
mo of all the years from 1911.1 to 1810, Dr. Seybert found that•
the annual amount of mete toorifotie: in America was 102,81 I
tons, exceeding that of the British'empire. This gives en an-
nual manufacture of tonnage of five millions of dollars. This
annual bounty paid to the forester and woodman, to the iron
founder and smith, to the carpenter and shipwright, does not
bring the vessel to the quay. Seventy thousand seamen, with
their wives and children, are next to be clothed and fed, or, is
other words, more than nine millions of dollars are paid an-
nually by commerce in the single article of wages to seamen,
at the rate of eleven dollars per month. As no account is here
made of the superior wages of captains end officera, this esti-
■tate is quite within bounds. The sultsistenceof the crews at
the rate of twenty cents the man per day, amounts to over five
millions of dollars per annum. And this, in the pay and suste-
sante of seamen alone 814,000,000 are annually expended by
toe commerce of this country, in the wages and subsistence of
the labourers it employs. Combining this with the five mil-
lions annuelly required to keep the American tonnage in re-
pair, we have nineteen million, annually disbursed by the skip
manufactory to the labouring clas.es of the community. We
sayneot a word of the industry required to prepare the outward
cargo, Or vend the-return cargo, each of which is put in motion
by commerce, the former to the enriching of the great agricul-
ture states, end the latter resulting in the growth of the great
commercial cities. We say nothing of the service rendered to
every individual, hoe ever remoteor distant he may be, who is
enabled by commerce to take advantage of the crowded popu-
lation, themecumulated capital, and the intense competition
which prevail in forei;n countries, and thus purchase the most
useful and necessary articles at the cheapest rate. We say no-
thieg of ell these, but we rest on the simple preliminary fact,
that the commerce of this country, in the outset of its opera-
dam, without reckoning profit or an ounce of produce ship-
ping or exportation, pays to the hard working industry of the
toseuetcy. nineteen millions of dollars annually.--(111. American

tare of a..netv incumbent, is. at all times, an object of
general interest. The installation of Dr. Chalmers, as
professor of Moral Philosophy. in the University of St.
Andrew's, received additional interest from his previous
ppularity as a pulpit orator, and his reputation as a
ovine. The Ediaburgh. Star contains a very fall account
of the proceedings on that occasion. The Lecture (dee
livered on Saturday last) is said to have been peculiarly
eloquent. " What we have given," says that Journal, "of
the Lecture, can only be regarded as an outline." A
Uentlenaan who heard it, remarks that—" Never since the
days of. Knox. has any public oration excited so much
interest, or created such a universal sensation within the
walisof Sr. Anetrew'is, as the one on the present occasion.'
Wire it poss'hle that we could have
.given the Doctor's
lecture verbatim, we are certain that it would have been
one of the richest intellectual trees that we could possibly
have laid before oar readers. The grasp of capacity—the
originality of perception—the depth of thought—the con-
clusive force of his reasonings, enlivened as they occasion•
ally were with the most vivid powers of fancy and brilliant
imagery, and delivered with Auk an overwhelming strain
of eloquence. as seemed tre thrill every heart, and to
rivet conviction on every snind,.. -During its delivery, the

filascow ANY, LONDON MECHANIC'/ INSTITUTIONS.
*The Glasgow free Press, in noticing the contributions
which have beeen made for the establishment of the " Lon.
don Mechanic's Institution," observes, " now, much as we,
may respect the feeling which prompted those gentlemen
who haveisubscribed to the establishment of this Institution,
we cermet but regret that they have dune so—we had rather
that the whole should have been the work of the Meehan-
les themselves. Here, in Glasgow, nut one penny was sub-
scribed by any one, upwards of 900 AI er-han ics contributing
all mad even more than what was necessary, themselves.
People have a ptide in what they accomplish by their
own energies. and do not feel lialf the interest they
otherwise would do, when their institutions are the result
if the eleemosynary contributions of others—Glasgow
las set an axaniple to London; and the latter, in the pride
if success, and the more enlarged sphere of its scientific
triumphs, must not, nay, we are sure, will not, forget that
it was to Glasgow she owed the existeuceof her institution,
asd that Dr. Birkbeck, of the Glasgow' Society, was her
test President. It is a proud feeliu,sl for the Mechanics of
Carew that they have already stimulated the mechanics
N eight other Wafts in Scotland to follow their bright ex-
ample; and that, had not despotism—cunning in its cruelty,
and potent from its recent success—stretched forth its iron
sceptre, to arrest the march of the human mind, the great
City of Lyons in France would have added another temple
to scientific knowledge.
" We Understand a number of Gentlemen have presented
the Glasgow Mechanics Institution with a variety of useful
looks fur thad'Library. As this is different from contri-
htisg money to enable them to attend lectures, we trust
Amoy more mil do the same."
