The assassin Berezowski, who at
tempted to kill the Gar, was taken to
Toulon on the i1th instant, TO serve out
mis- sentence. A letter writer says: As
soon as he entered the precincts of the
6d07le, the gray aud yellow dress of q
cellulsr prisoner was taken of, and the
red Jacket and green cap worn by those
condemned for life was pat on. The
unfortunate young man was then
taken to the Frison forge-his feet were
already swollen and painful from the
long march he had just come on. \
heavy chain was fastened on his left leg
by massive ring; he did not appear to
suffer during the operation, and quickly
rose from the recum bent position il which
it is always performed, taking up the
chain in his hand, which otherwise drags
on the ground. The head was shaved,
IS is the custom, in squares-that Is, one
square perfectly bare and on the next the
hair is left about half sn inch long. In
spite of this disfiguring process and the
green cap, il was remarked that young
Berezowski had a certain look OF dis
tinetiou. and even a gentle, intelligent
exnression of countenance. One of the
iaiiors who was not aware that his fingers
had been injured, asked him what was
the matter with his hand. 1T was the
pistol be replied; / was cured in three
weeks by the application of cold water
While bis ten companions were hav-
ing their irons riveted on, Berezowski
remained quietly in a corner Ofthe forge,
snd spoke to no one. He will not be
chained to another conyict, as is usually
the case, but will remain in one Of the
convicts' room chained to q triangle of
iron, which is fastened to the camp bed
Of the prisoners, and through which 3
bar is slipped, thus preventing their NOV
ing beyond the length Of their chain. In
a month, unless the wretched young man
first turns mad, be is to be sent to New
Caledonia.

The Mobile Times Of yesterday morn
ing saws: The official report of the board
Of health for the twenty-four hours end
ing last evening, shows slight increase,
it being i've cases, but none fatal. This
increase is owing to the prevalence OF the
northern winds, blowing regularly from
and after sundown. This should make
our citizens more and more careful to
abstain from keeping late hours, sitting
up at night on their galleries, and sleep
ing with open windows.
Under garments of wOrsted should be
worn day and night, and refreshing
drinks used freely. Should, however,
any premonitCry symptoms manifest
themselves, consisting Of violent hesd-
ache, pain in the back such as isknown as
"lumbago," and q certain degree of cos
tiveness, the first thing to be done is to
send for the doctor, and, while waiting
for him, take a very hot mustard foot
bath, get into bed warmly covered and
try to procure a warm perspifstion.
II medical assistance should not
promptly arrive, let q light purgative--
principally citrate Of magnesia, or seid-
iitz water, be taken, and if the stomach
should refuse it In large doses, admins
ter it in teaspOonsful. Also q lemonade,
strongly acidulated, and to which csssia
imparts a pleasant and slightly purgative
virtue. These first precautions being
taken, let the patient wait for the doctor
and keep up his spirits, Rs there is nc
real cause Of alarm in these first symp-
toms, if properly and rapidly coEnbs'

The New York World thus slludes to
the operation of the bankrupt law in that
city:
The enactment Of bankrupt law has
had q somewhat different effect upon the
fortunes Of merchants and traders who
had failed than was expected. It was
supposed that as there was known to be
great numbers of people who could not
20 into business because Of their unliqui-
dated Indebtedness, that, as q conse-
ouence, there would be q great rush OF
bankrupts TO take advantage Of the new
law. Ii has not so turned out, though,
undoubtedly, when the fall terms Of the
courts commence we will see a much
larger number Of bsnkrupts put through
the legal mill than was the case this
summer. Instead of taking advantage
Of the law to free themselves from their
obligations by being declared bankrupts,
the delinquent and unfortunate traders
are settling with their creditors. For
one person who makes application to the
courts, there are twenty who privately y
come TO an understanding with their
creditors. This hes been done TO so
great an extent that throughout the
country thousands of old merchants will
re-eDter business this fall Gnd winter,
The law allows practically OF three
modes of settlement--the voluntary and
involuntary bankruptcies Of insolvent
debtors, or q compromise without legal
proceedings, and this is what is now go
ing on sll over the country. The effect
cannot but be good. Hundreds Of ener'
getie men will again find their way into
business, and thousands of families will
be relieved from the burden Of old debts
