The Intelligence received here yesterday, OF the
repeal OF the Bankrupt Law by majority of thirty
t,ro vetes in the House of Representative, has as
founded that portion of our city that feel deep In
teres in the question. 1t is feared that the influence
of such large vote in the House, will carry it
through the Senate, and procure also the signature
of the President to the repeal.
In such dangerous state of things, what are the
friends Of the Law about Are they preparing for a
large meeting up town Or do they mean to call
out the bone and muscle in their favor q
Whatever is to be done. ought TO be done quickly.
Liberty of the Press Triumphant--Injunc-
ton the Lancet Dissolved.
We have the pleasure of announcing to the pub
lie that the Assistant Vice Chancellor. has dissolved
the injunction recently placed on the publication Of
DR.. Mons Lectures on Surgery-published in the
ew York Lancet" and that by this decision, the
liberty of the press in this metropolis, has trumphed
over the strong efforts made to trample upon it, and
to put il down. The "New York Lancet" will,
therefore, 60 onward usual. giving Iriei views of
all the lectures, CDR. Motifs incuded,) cases and
operations that may advance the cause of medical
science and practice in this country
The decision in this interesting is Of consd-
cradle length, and will be published by us as as
possible.
The grounds on which the Injunction is dissolved
are technically called "a want OF jurisdiction In the
Court OF Chancery," but really and truly, on the
great constitutional principles, preserving the liberty
and nviolability of the press. We presume that
no further attempt will be made by man OF Dr.
Motifs known lberaity to impair his high re-
putation, by endeavorng TO interfere with the
liberty of the press 1t would give us and the
conductors Of the Lancet the greatest plea
sure and delight to resume those feelings of ami
ty and respec, which we have always felt for the
New School and its Faculty. The publication of
short notices OF his Lectures were begun for the
purpose of benetiting the reputation of DR.. Mott as
much as the advancement of medical science-and
we hope and trust that this distinguished man will
invite the able editor of the Lancet" to resume
his seat IN his lecture room, and take notes for the
continuation Of these valuable notices. Nothing
can be gained TO science by narrow, exclusive, or
embit;ered feelings nothing gained to reputation
by estrenged affections among eminent men en-
gagged in advancing the same honorable profession.
We ,rus, that Dr. Mott will take these facts into
consideration aud act on his own generous impulses
both in resumng the CiiRique, and IN offering no
further opposition TO the appearance Of DR.. Houston
in his lecture room.

the Editor of that paper We have not at handthe state
