The steamship Africa, from Liverpool,
with dates to the 9TH inst, has arrived here.
The Liverpool cotton market, on the 9TH

with declining tendency.
Parliament was to be dissolved in May.
The duties on tea and sugar have been re-
duced two pence.
A treaty of commerce had been signed
between Prussia and America, at Teherin,

MEDICAL TESTIMONY IN MURDER

II will be recollected that in the investi-
cations of the murder of DIR Burdell before
Coroner Connery, some important conclu-
sions were arrived at from the microscopic
examination of stains of blood. Similar tes-
timony was resOrted to in a recent trial for
murder in the State of Maine. The ques-
ton there was whether certain stains upon
knife were those of sleeps blood or hu-
man blood. The Portland Advertiser pub
fishes the testimony given by the medical
witnesses:
1.-The blood of q man does not differ much
from tie blood Ct other animals in its chem
ical properties and constituents. But when
subjected to the microscope it at once re-
veals important physical differences. To
understand this, it should be promised that
blood is not, as it appears, when first drawn.
wholly fluid but consists of two or three
distinct bodies, of which one class is known
as globules. Instead of being round, as
one would suppose, these bodies III the high
er animals have the form of discs, circular,
thick at the edge and thin in the middle,
like two watch crystals placed back to
back. The shape of the glObules is retain
ed after the blood has coagulated, and their
size is capable of measurement by micro
sco2ic apparatus.
at is the size of these masses which is
said to afford the test between human and
other animal blood-they being in the blood
of some animals larger, and in others small
Ter, than in the blood of man. DIR. Hub
bard stated that the elephant ranks just
above man, and the monkey just below, as
regards this point of size. In the same
species of animals the globules vary in di-
mansions within q small range of some 2 or
per cent.-and the same variations is OBJ
ser.able in a person i'll health and sickness.
But in comparing human blood with
sleeps blood--which was particularly with
in the scope of DR.. Hayes testimony-it
would seem that the difference of size is
such as to allow no ground for confusion,
it having been recorded in the tables of sew
eral careful microscopic observers. To
show the extreme nicely of observations,
we quote from DIR. Hayes: IF you divide
an inch in 10000 parts, the length of one
of these measurements will be covered by
5000 or 3, 400 of the blood discs of human
blood. Using the same measures, the aver
age number of $500 of tire discs of sheep
blood will be required to fill the same length
of the scale This measurement made in
different countries, by different observers,
corresponds closely"

COUNTERFEIT.

We saw, yesterday, a counterfeit note of
the Bank of Charlotte for $40. purports
to have been issued 9th April, 1853. The
vignette. which is badly executed, repre-
sents a blacksmith's shop, horse being
shod, and traveller looking on. The gen.
eral appearance of the note is bad, the Gu
craving being clumsiiy executed, and the
paper of Indifferent quality. The sigma
lures of the officers are well done, but the
figures in the corners and in the centre of
the bill are rude and unlike those in the
genuine note. There are other dissimilari-
ties, but as they have been pointed out on
former occasion, we deem it unnecessary
to describe them. We caution the public
against these spurious notes, as many of
this denomination are believed to be in cir
culation, at least in places south of US.

INSANE ASYLUM OF n. CAROLINA.

The Directors of this institution, appoint
ed by the last Legislature, held their first
meeting at the Asylum on Saturday last,
and were engaged from eleven o'clock, A.
NJ, until sunset, in the discharge of various
duties. Present, Mr. Taylor, of New Han
over. Mr. Erwin, of Burke, and Messrs.
johnson. Cantwell, A. NJ. Lewis, K. p.
Battle, and w. W. Holden, of Wake. Abb
sent, DR.. Mills, of Polk. and DR.. Blow, OF
Pitt. DR.. Charles E. Johnson, of Raleigh,
was unanimously elected President of the
Board; and Messrs. Kemp P. Battle, Ed
ward Cantwell, and w. w. Holden were
appointed the Executive Committee.
The Board Resolved to proceed with the
water works. the gas-works, the erection of
walls for enclosures for the patients, &C.,
under the appropriation made for the pur-
poses specified by the last Legislature
Arrangements were also made for the
preaching of the Gospel to the inmates of
the Asylum every Sabbath. by the pastors
of the four principal denominations in this
City-the Methodist the Episcopalian, the
Baptist, and the Presbyterian-the minis
tiers to succeed each other in this duty in
regular ordor.
There are at present about one hundred
and ten patients in the institution.
1t affords US pleasure to bear testimony
to the fidelity and zeal of all the officers of
the institution, and especially of DR.. Fish
er, the Superintendent. He combines in a
high degree all the qualifications, for this
responsible post; and among these we may
mention an evenness of temper, and kind
ness and benevolence of manner, which
never fail to produce good effects upon the
unfortunate class placed under his charge.
We are gratifed to state that his health,
which some months ago was quite feeble,
appears to be nearly entirely restored.
The next meeting of the Board will be
held on the 5th of June.-Standard.

SPAIN AND MEXICO.

The London Times says that a war be-
tween Spain and Mexico would appear to
be almost certain. The Spanish Ministry
has addressed note to the representatives
or SPAIN at the European Courts explain
ing the quarrel. Having mentioned the
murders and robberies committed on the
persons and goods Of Spanish subjects re-
siding in Mexico, by the soldiers of Gen.
Alvarez, the note declares that the Spanish
Government does not desire to make the
people and the Government of Mexico re-
sponsible for these attrocious acts, if the
Mexican Government would only take ener-
getic steps to repair them.
In this spirit the Spanish legation in Mex
leo had been instructed to demand from the
Mexican Government the punishment of the
offenders and the indemifcation of the
Spanish subjects who have been the vic
Tins. But at the same time, fearing that
this demand is not complied with, the Span
ish Government has ordered the departure
of vessels of war and troops from Havana
in sufficient strength for the protec-
ton of Spanish subjects. Five vessels of
war, with troops, likewise leave Spain to
reinforce the squadron at Havana. The
expedition will altogether consist of thirty
vessels of war, and will have a numerous
army on board. The Spanish Government
deplores the necessity of resorting to such
measure towards a nation united to Spain
in blood, language, and religion; but it
,:opes everybody will understand the obi
cation it is under to avenge the national
dignity.

President of his arrival at Washington, was

he did, and there introduced by the President
to the Cabinet. and had with them long
conversation on the general affairs of Kan
sas.
The Governor reiterates the opinion that
the population of the territory is still too
small for its admission as a State, and con-
siders it best that it should remain as at
present until its numbers shall increase SUI
