Hrs CousrS, THE BIsHoP. One morning
Haines, the comic actor, was seized by a couplo
Of baiiffs, in an action for debt Of ED, as the
Bishop Of Ely was passing by in his coachs
Quofh Joe to the bailiffs:
Gentlemen, here's my cousin tIie bishop Of
Ely, going into his house; let me bas speak to
him and be will pay the debt and charge ?
The bailifs thought tEey might venture that,
as they were within three or four yards of him.
So up sprang Joe to the coach, pulling Oh hfs
hat and got close to it. The Bishop ors1ered
the coach to stop, while Joe (close to his esr1
said softly
My Lord, here are Two poor men, who have
such great scruples of conscience that fear
they will hang themselves .
ssVery we'll, said the Bishop. So calling to
the two bailiffs, he said sss
sc You two men come to me tomorrow morn
ing, and I'll satisfy YOU
The men bowed and went away. Joe, hug
ging himself with his fallacious device, also went
his way. &
In the morning, the hailifs expecting the debt
and charges, repaired to the Bishops being
introduced
g Well. 2 said the Bishop What are your
scruples of conscience Y Z
g ScrGples,'' said sthe bailiffs, we have no
scruples. We are bailifs, my lord. who yester-
lay arrested your cousin, Joe Haines for EGO.
Your lordship promised to satisfy us to-day,
and we hope your lordship will be as good as
your word. .
The worthy Bishop, rejecting that his honor
and name would be exposed, if he complied nots
paid the debt and charges.

We announce that Peta, the stronghold Of those
ill-intentioncd persons who, having lately entered
into these lands, disturbed the tranquility of the
inhabitants, exists no more. 1t has been destroyed
to-day in one hour by the bravery of the imperial
troops; and those OF the aforementioned indivi-
duas who could save themselves have dispersed,
having for the most part gone to the place where
they came from.
l call, therefore, upon those among you, the in
habitans OF the villages, who having been deceived
by these people have risen in instruction and
ed hitherto connected with the Sandstone from
fear of the authorities others forced by the disturb
ers, and others influenced by observation-disclosures coun-
sels-knowing now the fate Of the village OF Peta,
to to yourselves think of the position in which
you are and return to the right way, straying from
which you were running towards your ruin.
You who fear to suffer from the severity OF the
authorities Danish all fear from your hearts; you
who forced, call upon the Imperial forces for
help, and you who hope still to succeed in realizing
your vain hopes, think seriously and look ut the
evils which your error ia likely TO entail upon you.
In word all those Of you who, in Whatever way,
have participated in the nsurrectionary movements,
hear the paternal voice which calls you TO embrace
peace, tranquility and prosperity, and hasten to de-

IeCendre,s Geometry.

II is some time since l formed the opinion
that no translation of Legendre's Geometry
made by Sir David Brewster had ever been
published. That opinion was based upon the
character of the translations which had seen :;
and it having been recently confirmed, and the
statements made in the versions printed in this
country being calculated to mislead, l have
thought that leisure moment would be well
employed in endeavoring to give publicity to
the title and preface Of the work which does
bear the name of Sir David Brewster. That
title is as follows:
elements of Geometry and Trigonometry :;
with notes. Translated from the French of A.
NJ Legendre, Member of the Institute, &c.
Edited by David Brewster, LID, Fellow of
the Royal Society, &c. With, &c. Edinburg,
ls24.n
After dedication Of the Editor to the Pro-
lessor of Mathematics in the University of
Edinburg, there follows the
" P'eface Of The Editor-The Elements Of
Geometry and Trigonometry,' by NJ. lie Chev-
alier Legendre, are SO we'll known, and been
so highly esteemed in every part of Europe,
that no apology can be required for presenting
translation of them to the English reader.
The original work has undergone no fewer than
eteuen large impressions, and its distinguished
author is at present occupied in preparing the
tlreLtth edition for the press.
upon announcing to M. Legendre my in
tention Of experimenting an English transla.
ton Of his Elements of Geometry, and re-
questing his sanction and assistance, he kindly
transmitted to me the following materials, with
which the present edition has been enriched"
/ will mention but one: A new demonstra-
ton of the solidity of the pyramid, discovered
by NJ. Queret, Of St. Malo; for he was antici-
pated, Sir David says, in this by the late Pro
fessor Playfair." This preface is signed with
the initials I'D. b." bearing date August i,
1922, when there was no law of international
copyright between France and England.
Now, we have in DR.. Daviess preface from
the Military Academy at West Point, March,
1884:
"The editor, in offering to the public Dr.
Brewsters translation of Legendre's Geometry,
under" &c.
ain the original work, as we'll as in the trans
lations of DR.. Brewster and Professor Farrar,
the" &C.; and in continuation he (Dr. Davies)
makes mistake in metaphysics, upon which
the elementary work Of DR.. Campbell could or
might have set him right.
Whether, during the lapse of nearly twelve
years, a translation by Sir David Brewster
may not have appeared, it is impossible to
deny with absolute certainty. But the book /
saw was a recent importation; and bad there
been translation by Sir David Brewster, il
would have been sent instead

CRIME IN NEW YORK.

The New FORK Herald, OF Wednesday, says:
"High-handed outraees and murders are
rife in this community at the present time, and
there seems to be no limit or check TO the dia-
bolical spirit which animates the depraved
hearts of a portion Of the population. Yes
terday morning the keeper of a groggery in An
thony street, named Jacob Mitchell, was shot
in the head by villain, who succeeded in
making his escape. The wounded man can
not recover. On Monday, recently arrived
emigrant, named Michael Berges, while quietly
vending his way to his ship, was severely
stabbed in the shoulder by some person un.
known. This outrage was committed in broad
daylight, yet no arrest was made. On the
same day man named George Rogers was set
upon in Centre street by Frenchman armed
with club, who inflicted such severe injuries
that the sufferer now lies in critical state. In
this instance, as in those mentioned previously,
no arrest was made, and the assaulted party
states that policemen were in the vicinity at
the time. The assaults upon unofiending per-
sons are of almost daily occurrence, and it is
inexplicable how, with the large police force
maintained by our citizens, the perpetrators
almost invariably escape detection. In add.
ton to the above acts of violence we have to
record another of different but more tragical
nature. A German, named William Ham
breur, on Monday evening, shothis wife in the
head with pistol. The circumstances which
led to this shocking affair, provided the state.
ment of the wretched man be correct, exhibit
a series of provocations sufficient to impel any
one to commit some act of desperation.

A Mania for Suicide,

1t appears from certain news items in the
Georgetown Herald Of the current week, that
a French mania for the commission Of suicide
has taken possession Of quite number of the
inhabitants Of the interior.
The following cases are Of melancholy inter.
est. On Tuesday, October 10th, Mrs. Gull.
residing in the neighborhood of RAYS Fork,
Scott county, aged eighteen or twenty. hung
herself TO tree, and when found was stiff and
cold. She was cut down by Messrs. John
Jones and John Neal, and had evidently COM
mitted the deed with great delberation. AS
her feet touched the ground, she might have
saved herself il she had not been 80 deter
mined. She was formerly Miss Hammonds

him about a year, and was in poor circum
stances,
On Wednesday, October lth, Mrs. Plum.

children, on the plea Of visiting neighbor.
went of into the woods, in the absence Of her
husband, taking her knitting and plouph-line
with her. On the return of her husband
whose suspicious were aroused by the children's
story Of the plough-line, search was immedi.
ately instituted, when she was found by Mr..
John Evans, about IL o'clock that night. hang.

fully put aside. 1t is rumored that iealousy Of
her husband was the prompting cause to the
commission Of this rash and reprehensible
act,
Miss Wiggles, residing in Harrison county,
a young lady about Ia or X years Of age, on
Wednesday shot herself with a rife, the ball
entering her right jaw and bursting out her
right eye. No cause is assigned for the act
by the girl, and she refuses to have ANYTHING
done for her, as she says she is determined 10
effect her purpose. 1t is probable she will die,
il she is not dead already.
young lady by the name Of Losier, also re.
siding in Harrison, went to see Miss Wiggles
after she was shot, and suspecting that she had
not shot herself urged her to confession,
to revenge her on the party who had
shot her by shooting him. Miss Wigglss, after
exacting solemn promise Of Miss Losier TO
10 so, told her then she'd have to kill her
Miss Wiggles,) for she and nobody else done

Strange 10 say Miss Losier returned home
from her visit 10 Miss Wiggles, and before
night attempted to take her own life by hang

discovered and cut down in time to save her

The Assassination Of Castaneda at Havana.

1t was announced by telegraph, few days
ago, that Jose A, Castaneda who received six
thousand dollars from Spain for the capture of
General Lopez, had been assassinated at Ha-
vana. lie had been on visit to Spain, where
he received the "honored cross of distinction
for his gallantry" in taking Lopez, and had
but lately returned to Havana. Asletter from
the latter city to the New Orleans Pfcdyllne,
dated October IA, says:
"He had been watched constantly for the
fatal opportunity, and on the evening of the
18th, between the hours of seven and eight, he
was playing game of billiards at coffee
house called Marie Belona, outside of the
city, and as he was in the act of striking the
ball, with his back towards blind on the
piazza, he was shot through the blind, two
balls entering the back Of his head, which al
most instantly killed him; and although there
were great number of people present, the
assassin made good his escape. General Con-
cha had had an interview with him on that
day, and, it is said, gave him an appointment
as captain of partido. Concha feels this as
an insult to him, and has offered large re-
ward for the apprehension of the assassin.
Yesterday afternoon he was buried. AT the
| time of starting, mob collected, and showed
determination to prevent, if possible, the in
terment. A guard of soldiers was ordered out
to protect the remains on the way to "Campo
Santo," which was followed by an immense
crowd, yelling, throwing stones, &C., and it was
with great difficulty that the grave was reached.
Several of the city guard were badly injured
| a number Of the rioters were arrested, and no
doubt will be severely dealt with. This Cas-
taneda was despised by every one; his char
acter was always bad, and once his life was
saved by General Lopez, when he was presi-
Ia.. Al L
vote. Such was his gratitude, that he hunted
the poor man out with dogs in his hour of
distress, to get the reward for his precious
head"
