MAYORS COURT. Feb. 16.

A white man named John Hughes was ar
raigned before his Honour, charged with hav-
lug assaulted an individual named Brodsrick, on
the 11th inst. 1t appears that neighbour sub
mitted piece of metal to these gentlemen for
inspection. The complainant commended that it
was pure iron, the defendant. that it was steel of
exceenttemper. The result of this difference
of opinion was fight, and as Mr.. Hughes is a
striker by vocation 10 blacksmithing establish
ment on Union street, it may readily be supposed
that Broderick came o fl secoud best. The Mayor
settled the affair by holding the former to bail in
the sum of 500.
The case of Norman Query, charged with at
tempting to violate the person of young white
girla few days since, was, in the absence of i'm
portant testimony, continued until Saturday,
The prisoner in the mean time, was remanded to
Jail.
William Mountjoy, harged with threatening
to assault Samuel D. Denoon on the evening of
the 18th February, gave surety for his appearance
to-day to answer the charge.

DISEASES OF THE BRAIN.-Dr. Junod, of Paris,
is anxious to visit England, to introduce into
practice his invention OF the exhausted air-boot
for diseases of the brain. He places a large me-
tac tube upon the leg. which is, says the Co
lumbia Banner, exactly in the shape of boot
and by an apparatus connected with it he gradu-
ally and completely exhausts it of air. the conse-
quence of which is, the limb swelIs enormously
becoming three times the ordinary size; there is
an immense quantity of blood thus determined
to the lower extremity. whose cap Hilary vessels
become much distended, and relief is thus given
to the overloaded sanguineous system elsewhere.
which is often times permanent, as the limb only
unloads itself from the humors driven into it;
there is no reaction to be feared-the objection
that first presents itself is the probability of its
giving rise to varicose veins, but. continues the
Banner, from the numerous experiments that
have been tried, it would appear to offer re-
source where there was great determination of
artel al blood to the head, or where there is no
venous retardation.

VIRGINIA INVENTION .-The National In
telligencer says that a memorial was presented in
the Senate Monday, asking the aid of the 60
vernment in testing newly invented machine to
overcome the grades of railroads. The inventor
is gentleman of the Old Domi MON. Mr. Foot
OF Vermont, stated that careful examination of
the machine had convinced him not only of its
prasticablity, but of its complete euccess. In
this age of railroads it may prove to be vaIua-
Bile invention.

Submarine Telegraph.

M. Babanete, the distinguished savant of the
French Academy Of Sciences, says in recent
publication
"The idea of extending an electric cable con.
Meeting Europe and the Uaited States, across the
whole Atlantic, appears to me to be attended
with insuperable difficulties The only route by
which the two worlds can be connected tele.
graphically is to pass by Behriug Straits, which,
with the islands that divide it, presents no great
erimpediments for submarine cable than the
British Channel"
