Ira Sherwin for discharge from imprisonment when was
argued on Wednesday decided this morning in an able
opinion delivered BY Judge Irwin AheT reviewing the
circumstances under which the present application came
before him. His Honor observed that the practice OF this

Chancry of England that the proceedings had been in
this case TO the mnuest particular in strict accordance
nth The practice that reasonable notice Of motion had
been given to defendants aordng ample time and oppOr
funy for their reference TO the charges preferred against
them; that they had gone before United States
Commissioner and answered the charges, and Their
afhdavits had been submitted 70 the Nourt ina
on hearing the the Court was fully satisfied
they had been guilty Of gross contempt that they
had no lust ground of complaint against the counsel the
facts had been deliberately adudged and they were now
under Judgment and execution The practice in Chance
nv was well settled that where an injunction restrained the
commission Of waste spoil injury to property the in
junction would not be dissolved until after the waste, spoil
or uiury WIGS repaired That if application had boon
made for further time before the hearing OF the matter for
commitment the Court might on proper case nave made
uch order as was reasonable but would have required Sc
curty that there should be spOilaOD injury or resist

The building of Railroads in this country
has become but little short of a mania More
roads are built than are needed, and of course
they prove Improbable Millions of dollars
are locked up in these investments and this
is one of the causes of the general embarrass
ment of the country. There are at this time
no less than twelve thousand miles of Rail-
road in progress of construction in the Unit
ed States, the cost of which will amount to
the enormous sum Of three hundred and ftty-
sir millions of dollars. With this fact before
them, need any body ask, " What causes the
stringency of money ;"
The Hudson and Berkshire Railroad, which
is one of the improbable sort, was sold recent
ly for $l55, 200, which is $40, 900 less than
the individual bonds, and of course the bond
holders will lose to that amount. The State
of New York loses on this same Road the
sum Of $4,000 besides the interest for
several years.

Two boys, eight and ten years old,
SONS of Mr.. Gardner Wheeler, of Bethel, VT,
set canister of powder on fire few days
ago. The explosion knocked one of the boys
senseless, burning him badly, and setting his
clothes on fire. The other, though seriously
burned, had presence of mind enough to strip
the clothing from his brother, and extinguish
the fire. Both are now doing well.
A Macoupin, ILL.,, paper, gives an &C.
count of a man named Joseph Barney, who
escaped in May last from the Flat Head In
dams, by whom he had been taken prisoner
and kept some eighteen years. He was forced
to marry the chief daughter, and by hel
had some children. During his captivity he
had seen neither salt, bread, potatoes, coffee,
nor anything of the kind, his food being prin-
cipally game and rattlesnakes.

MERcY.-The first sentence of death the
young Sovereign, Queen Victoria, was requir-
ed to sign, was that of soldier condemned to
death for desertion. The Queen read it, and
asked the Minister who brought it to her =
"Have you nothing to say in behalf of this
man.
"Nothing," was the reply; he has deserted
three times but said the brave veteran who
relates the anecdote, seeing her Majesty anx-
iety, / added. ''though he is very bad soldier,
some witnesses spoke for his character, and,
for aught know to The contrary, he may be
good man.
s'Oh! thank you Cor thara thousand times, .

table, with her fair hand trembling with emo
