IMPRISONMENT FoR DEBT In ENGLAND. -Ac
cording to the official returns Just issued on the
LIST of August last, there were no less than one
thousand and ninety eight persons confined in
the various prisons in England for debt. In
the prison of Bedford, one man, whose original
debt was nine shilings, was inoarcerated for
twenty days, because he could not pay the ex-.
penses of the suit brought against him. Thes q
amounted to c l 6s., or more than three times
as much as the original debt. In another case
man was in prison for ten days because he
could not pay ten shillngs and fourpence, being
the expenses of debt Of three shilings and
sixpence. In third, the debt amounted 10
Ell rs. 3d., and the costs to 60 s.. I'd. These,
and many similar cases, have attracted much
attention, and the policy of abolishing impris
onment for debt is now openly discussed.

surgical operations. A few Gays nee be re

table salt, and applied it to the diseased part,
which was almost Immediately reduced to an
jnsensible state. The removal of the tumor
was accompanied by very little loss Of blood
and little or no pain. The DOCTORS fingers
were, however, slightly frozen in the operation.
DR.. W thinks that this method of producing
iusensiblity to pain is preferable to that Of
chloroform, inasmuch as tits not dangerous and
does not ipiure the blotd.
