LATES1 INTELLIGENCE. (From t\i Jcu;:d-u ■? of Tuesday.) ABDICATION OF THB KING OF PRUSSIA.—PARIS, MON- bAY ENBNINO.—A piece of news, which probably has already reached England, arrived here from Valenciennes hy 0 telegraph this morning, namely, the abdication of the King o( Prussia in favour of hie nephew the Prince Royal. This in- telligence has caused a great deal of excitement, and most certainly formed tUemain topic of consideration in the Council 'I of Ministers which assembled at nine o'clock. Whether the resolution of the King has been taken tor the purpose of enabling his successor to smooth down the difficulties which are springing up with Austria, caused by the rival efforts of both powers,to attain supremacy in Germany, or for the sake of enabling some new line of policy to be adopted, are ques- tions which engaged speculation. Under such circumetances it is unfortunate that France is without befitting representa- tives at either St. Petersburg, Vienna, or Berlin and it be- comes now more difficult than ever to find successors for General de Lamoriciere, M. de Beaumont, and General de la Hitte. Will ministers allow the President, under cir- cunutances of such heavy responsibility, to appoint his own ambassadors, pledged to follow his own personal vievs of policy? It is barely possible that they can do so, and for this reason, perhaps, amongst others, a break up of the Cabi- net is considered imminent. The duel between M. Pierre Bonaparte and M. Adrien de la Valette, editor of the A stem hive Nationale, took place on Sunday in a field at St. Germain. This meeting arose out of a letter iddress'd by M. Pierre Bonaparte to M. de la Val- lette, on the subject of an article which bad appeared in his journal, of which he was not the author, but had assumed the responsibility. The terms of the letter being insulting, M. I de la Vallette demanded satisfaction of M. Bonaparte. The adversaries were placed at a distance of 30 paces from each other, with the right of advancing five paces, so as to diminish the distance to '20 paces. Each of the combatants fired a shot without effect, when the second s of M. de Vallette stated that. M chief editor of the Assemhlke Srationalc, he had assumed the responsibility of an article giving an accovnt of the sitting in the National Assembly of which M. Pierre Bonaparte had complained, but that he was Tot the author, and that he would not have suffered it to have been inserted had he thought it reflected upon the courage and honour of M. Pierre Bona- parte. After this explanation, the seconds on both sides de- ,clared that honour was satisfied, and the parties left the ground. These hsstile meetings have lately been so frequent that the Procureur General intends to ask for leave to prosecute. M. Bouvet has intimated his intention to move for a reduc- tion of 40,000 men ont of the cotingent of 80,000 men demanded by the government for 1850. The editor of the Dunkirk Commerce was tried on the 30th inst., and acquitted, of the charge of publishing an article attacking the Constitution. TU^i.Parw journals, contain no other news of the slightest fntesesi.^ Accounts from "Rome of the 29th mention the arrival of ^General Baraguay d'Hilliers, and the resignation of General Rostolan and M. de Courcelies. The two latter were about t) pay a farewell visit to the Pope at Naples, and then re- turn to.France. General Rostolan had issued a valedictory Address to the citizens of Rome. From the Standard of Wednesday. The New World, steamer, Captain Knight, after a most rapid voyage, reached Liverpool yesterday from New York, with three days' later news Trom that city, which, however, is not of much importance. The government were busily en- gaged m preparing the President's Message. The money market was easy, and the rate of exchange tended downward. Cotton was on the decline, and there was a moderate demand for flour. Freights continued at previous rates, but very tittle business was doing. We have no confirmation of the reported abdication of the Xing of Prussia, announced to us yesterday in a letter from ■our Parisian correspondent. The Gazette de France mentions the rumour, but gives no particulars. Letters from Berlin of the 25th inst. make no allusion to such an event. We tnast, therefore, wait for later intelligence before the report can be satisfactorily set at rest The President of the Repudlic is said to have delivered an address to the new prefects, in which he stated his intention to stand a second time for his present office. The Republi- can papers are highly indignant at this alleged determination >of Louis Napoleon. The advocates of the Versailles' prisoners, with the exep- tion of M. Coraill and M. Henri Armand, are summoned to appear on the 11 th of December before the Conncil of Disci- pline of the. Order of Advocates, for pretesting against the decision of the High Court, and also for throwing tup their briefs leaving their clients undefended. The funds advanced yesterday, and the Fives closed fit WC 25c. and the Threes at 57t. 15e.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
SOUTH AUSTRALIA. The following extract from a letter dated "Adelaide" :b- been kindly forwarded us for insertion. "You may with confidence assert that there is not the •lightest fear of overstocking this market with house servants, labourers, gardeners, miners, shepherds, carters, ploughmen, carpenters, smiths, wheelwrights, painters, glaziers, tin-men, plumbers, masons, bricklayers, or in short, any sons of Adam ,who like earning their bread by the sweat of their brow. But young gentlemen with delicate hands, nice clothes, small experience, and empty pockets, form a very abundant as well useless commodity in this market, It is truly painful to see some, scores of them walking about Adelaide, enquiring for Merchantile situations or Government appointments, without the least chance of success for one in twenty. Young gen- tlemen whom their friends particularly wish to get rid of are also very abundant here they mostty drop into the lowest possible sphera in a very short time while the prudent, active, and industrious are (barring the dring) successful in ninety-nine cases out of a hnndred. There still remains a "vast breadth of good agricultural land uncultivated, and as that is the case the increase of population will ahvaj*s be met by increased means of profitable employment, and a more than sufficient increase in the production of necessaries. I pay labourers 22s. per week, or 12s. per week with board and lodging in the country. Beef, 2d. to 3d. per lb.; mutton, 2d; flour, 12s. per lOOlbs., fine seconds, 10s. per lOOIbs. tea, Is. to 2a per lb. sugar, 12s. to 15s. per cwt. Buildings are gotng on.at a.great rate, mining is still prosperous, and the Port' Adelaide Railway shortly to be commenced will probably give a great stimilus to the labour market.

The natives are no longer the bugbears they used to be; and most of the settlers far in t!ie Bush have abandoned those means of defence once so needful.

MTODBR AT MAWIIWTICVL-A murder of a very cold- blooded description teok place at Manchester on Sunday, in the open street and in daylight. A bricklayer's labourer, named Bernard Sherridan, living in a cellar in John-street, tinder the St. John"1# Tavern, was quarrelling with his wife, and amongst othrr neighbours who came to make peace was a young man named John Hayes. Sheridan and his wife were outside the house in the street at the time, and on Hayes approaching them, Sheridan ran at him with a chisel and >$ung"d it into his breast. The unfortunate man was carried to the Royal Infirmary, where he died about four o'clock the same afternoon. The deoeased was a small wire weaver, and bas left a wife and three children. Deceased was 24 yean of age. MUNIFICKNT REQUEST FOR A WORKING MAN'S HALL. -last evening Thomas Cooper, Esq., author of the Purgatory of Suicides," announced,at the Literary Institu- tion, John-street, Fitiroy-square, that a bequest of £ 10," '00 for the erection of a working man's hall in the metropolis had just been made by a Mr. Jenkins, The building is to be for the free use of working, men of all denomination, under the control of 12 directors, who have been nominanated and also that Mr. Hall, the celebrated geologist, had expressed his intention, on the completion of the building, to present his •Magnificent museum to it; and further, that a gentleman, whose name did sot transpire, would furnish a library of QOOI volumes. NOVBL "DEFINCK.—On Monday James Griffiths was con- victed before Captain Jones with using a wire for the purpose ►of taking game. In defence the defendant said that it was the first time that he had ever acted anything of the sort, and > it should fee the last; but in repl)" to some questions he ad- mitted that he had been in trouble about catching some fish. which affair had cost him more than a sovereign, but that .effence, he said, was quite accidental, as he was washing in a pool, and the fish were so thick that they bit his legs in the twater, and he could not help catching a few.. Fined X2 and --costs. In default of payment Jie was committed to Hereford ■gaol for two months' hard labour.—Hereford Journal. ENGLISH CAHTAL ON FHBNCH SOIL.—An English capi- talist has purchased the lake of Grand Lieu, in the neigh- bourhood of Nantes, which he proposes to drain. The lake covers a tract of 10,000 acres, and it is calculated, that the entire lake may be completely drained and converted into meadow land, with the exception of about 700 acres. CHOLKRA IN AI.GERI V.—-The Constitutional publishes the following letter from Oran, 5th inst.Oran is in a state of the greatest consternation. 700 soldiers and 3,700 civillians have died of the cholera, exclusive of the Jews and Moors. This amounts to about a sixth part of the population. All the shops are closed business is entirely suspended /fires ure made and cannon discharged, and yesterday there was a grand procession. The cholera is frightful, ole families being swept off." Another lettter, of the lOtn, is -more satisfactory. It says:—"The cholera has commitled cruel ravages among us. It now diminishes a little in the town, but it gains in violence in the interior." ALLBGKD BURRYING ALIVE.— In the midst of exaggera- tiein and inventMn, says the Quarterly Reuiew. in its last number, there was one undoubted circumstance which formerly excited the worst apprehensions—the fact that bodies were often found turned in their coffins, and the grave-clothes dis- arranged. But what was ascribed, with seeming reason, to the thfoes of vitality, is now known to be due to the agency of corruption. A gas is developed in the decayed body which mimict by its mechanical force many of the movements of life* So powerfnl ia that gas in corpses that have lain long in the water, that M. Dever^ia, physician to the Morgue at Papis, and-the author <jf a text-nooK on legal medicine, says that unless secured to the table they are often heaved up and thrown to the ground. ;Frequently strangers, seeing the mo- tiocs of the limbs, run to the keeper of the Morgue, and an- nounce with horror that a person is alive. All bodies sooner or later, generate gas in the grave, and it constantly twists round the corpse, blows out the «kin till it rends with the distension, and sometimes bursts the coffin itself. W nen tne gas explodes with a noise, imagination has converted it into outcry or groan the grave has-Jjeeii reopened the position cf the body has confirmed the suspicion, and the lacera- tion been taken for she evidence that the wretch had gnawed his flesh in the frenzy of despair. Somany are the circum- ttance. which will occasionally concur to-support a conclusion that is more substantial than the fabcic of a dream.

ITHE BERMONDSEY MURDER.
I THE BERMONDSEY MURDER. In consequence of some animadversions on the conduct of the Rev. W. S. Rowe, choipl"in of Horseinonger-lane g<\ol, in administering the holy communion to the Man- nings previous to their execution, though the female con- vict gave no sign of penitence, the reverend gentleman has addressed a letter to the papers in defence of the course he pursued. He says:- Both the prisoners, Frederick George Manning, and Maria, his wife, separately desired most earnestly to partake of the Lord's Supper prior to the time of execution. So far from having myself 'suggested' the propriety ot their receiving the holy rommuniori, or conceiving its ministration to such persons an indis- pensable part of my duty, I discouraged for a time the desire expressed, and did not afterwards comply with it until I had, with the utmost plainness of speech, insisted upon the full force and meaning of every portion of the exhortation in the communion service, particularly upon the part, So is the danger great if we receive the same unworthily. For then we are guilty of the body and blood of Christ our Saviour; we eat and drink our own damna- tion, not considering the Lord's body; we kindle God's wr..th against mi. Judge, therefore, youiselves, brethren, th it ye be not judged of the Lord.' And as respected the female prisoner especially, since she never admitted to me that she held those sentiments ascribed to her by her husband, but was always anxious to receive spiritual instt uction, and to all appearance was impressed with its importance under her awful condition, I did not deem it right to do more than to dissuade and solemnly to warn, by such means endeavouring to deter from an act which I feared would be a desecration of the holy oidinance, and an aggravation of guilt and.judgment to the com- municant herself." Massey, the medical student, who formerly resided with the Mannings at Miniver-terrace, and who was a principal witness against them, has endeavoured by a letter to clear himself from the charge conveyed in the confession of O'Connor to the Mannings' residence on the d-iy ot the murder, by writing a note inviting the murdered man to meet him and his sister at dinner, although he knew that his sister, Miss Massy, was not in town, and was net likely to be so :— Sir.-Having just seen in Oe Derby Reporter the confession of Manning, and as my name is mentioned in it as having written two letters to O'Connor, and as the statements of Manning respecting the tetters are false, I trust you will give insertion to this in your invaluable journal. Manning has represented that I wrote two letters to O'Connor on the subject of his visit to the house at the latter end of July; but I did. not; I wrote one letter to O'Connor at the request of Manning and his wife, but I cannot detect one word in the two letters published as mine. I communicated the-facts .connected with the letter I wrote to O'Connor to tfje jsolieitor to the Treasury before the trial of the Manmifg?** therefore, as the facts were made known by myself-the proper quarter, I think any further explanation usetess. I am, sir, your obedient servant, Swarkestone, Nov. 17. W.MASSEY. — 1

THE LATE EXECUTION.—!n his second letter Mr Dick-ns suggests that after condemnation a murderer should he kept aloof from Cttrieae visitors, and hanged within the walls of the prison :—"Mr. Calcraft, the hang- man (of whom I have someinformnrion in reference to this last occasion), should be restrained in his unseemly brisk- ness. in his jokes, his oaths,, and his brandy. To attend the execution I would summon ajjjry (}f.2t-, to be called the Witness Jury, eight to be summoned on a low qualifi- cation, eight on a higher, and eight on a higher still; so that it might fairly represent all classes of society. There should be present, likewise, the governor of the gaol, the chaplain, the surgeon, and other officers, the sheriffs oflhe county or city, and two inspectors wf prisons." The whole of them, he suggests, should, sign a certificate of the car- rying out of the sentence. He considers the total aboli- tionists as unreasonable, and nop to-be argued with."— It is said that Calcraft expects tolmake £1.1)0 at least by th eexecution of the Mannings. He expects says the Lon- don correspondent of the Manchester Examiner) to make at least XIOO from Madame Tussaud for the clothes of the wri,telied culprits. He received 70 guineas from the spirited proprietress for the suit in which Rush was exe- cuted. The speculation proved a most successful one, Madame Tussaud having realised, it is said, about tl,500 by her wax-work model of Rush. The phrenological de- velopment of the heads is said to agree in a very remarka- ble manner with the character of the convicts as at present known and Mr. Donovan, who has prepared the synop- sis, will shortly publish the result of his examination for the information of the more curious in these nutters. The John Dull, after noticing that, ahhough by the natu- ral working of the British constitution executions should be public, yet that in such a huge city as London, where such immense multitudes of the most worthless wretches of the community assemble, some modification of ih& prac- tice may be beneficial, proceeds as follows:—So far we e agree with the romance writer (Mr. Dickens) whom, we presume, his under study of social phases, rather than any abstract curiosity to witness so distressing a sight, had drawn to the spot, as he himself tells us, as early as mid- night on the eve of execution. But we cannot let h?m to walkoff in the lofty attitude of a "censor" of public morals, and a corrector of the law itself. He must permit us to remind him that if, which is undoubtedly the case, the public taste is vitiated to a disgusting extent, the responsi- hility of this painful fact rests in no small degree with him- Eelf and other writers of his class, wIld through tah s made pungent by fictitious deeds of dark and bloody villany," dished up in serial numbers eagerly looked for in the shop windows, not only cater for a public taste which is already debased, but create this debised taste, especially among the young and lower classes of society, where their publi- cations find numerous readers. We do Hot intend to charge upon Mr. Dickens personalty the specific brutality which he describes as having been disptayed in front of Horse- modger Lane Gaol, but we contend that that brutality is but the lowest and grossest exhibition of a love of the hor- rible, of a taste for crime in a'U its aspects, which writers of fiction of his stamp have, if "hot engendered, at least fostered to a frightful extent. So tonkas we have writers who consent to be in literature what Madame Tusiaud is in the wax-work line, whose pages are typographical chambers of horror, the public taste, which, like all that appertains to poor human nature, is ever prone to sink rather than to rise, will uudefgo oai fconstant process ut rather than to rise, will uudefgo oafi constant process ot progressive depravation. MisrrsTKRlAj. 'Ptt$'GR'fttilB.Spectator, free- trade journal'. givrs an article underiVis head from which we extract the following, the second jjaragraph of which is indicative of anything butMdeci4ed~cpuviction.lh.it the recent tendency of legislation has been successful or is likely to be permanent. If present appearances be not belied, her Majesty will be able to congratulate Parlia-. ment on the revival of trade, of which the factory districts already feet the effects and it is to be behoved that other classes will ultimately few a proportionate benefit. This auspicious change, although partly due to a favourable turn in the seasons and a bounteous liarvest, is also to be noticed as following the successive developments of free trade. It is to be regretted, however, that the influence of those measures atid <»f that revival has not kept pace with some expectations. There is no guarantee that the prosperity of the factory districts is not of that transient nature which thoee interested in it have been but too severely taught to mistrust; while the progress or agricul- ture dOf" not seem to outstrip, as it ought, the progress of that distress, of which all sections of the landed intert it have so constant&xomplained. The severe pressure of fixed charges, private encumbrances, as well as the burden of local rates, is attested by the movement among a class eminent for their loyalty, the owners of land, to effect a transfer of those burdens to Other classes. A similar pressure on a class still iless able to bear it is shown by a rising demand among the farmers forrelief in the shapeof diminished taxation, and reduced rents. Recent inquiries have shown that the condition of the lubout ing classes engaged in agriculture, long an opprobrium to our ad- vancement in civilisation, has not improved; while wages exhibit an universal tendency to decline beneath the lowest level (if recent times. It is to be hoped that this depression is in some degree compensated by greater cheapness; but in the mean time it neutralizes the ten- dency of that cheapness to improve the condition of these long enduring classes." THE COLONIES IN DANGER.-Still we are forced to note, that not a week passes without some sign of trouble from different parts of our colonial empire. The mischief is more widely spread and more pregnant with danger than the English public can well be led to believe. The letter which Dr. Lang, ot New South Wales, leaves tor Earl Grey on quitting the shores of England, cannot but, be disagreeable to his lordship. Although rougf) in its language, and sectarian in some of its views, its main statements make a formidable bill of impeachment- alarming because those statements cannot be pronounced false. Of the future, Dr. Lang takes the glooinest view looking, as many in Australia do,^nd a few perhaps in Dourning-street, to nothing short of Separation. We do not share his fears, but only because we believe tt tm- possible that England can permit a continuance ofthe administration which would unquestionably lead to that result in the end. From Canada, we learn the disap- pointment of our anticipations that the question respect- ing the seat of government would be set at rest; tne government is transferred to Toronto, which is to alter- nate with Quebec in the official favour. As an act of policy it is bad, because it favours-the Annexationists in Montreal, by giving them better Kroutllldor their disaffec- tion. Surely Ministerr, at home must begin to perceive the utter unfitness of their colleagues in the colony for any post of command, and the troublesome tendency of his foibles ? —Spectator..

EFFECTS O* FREE TRADES ON*SC°TCH FARMERS.— An extensive pracrical agriculturist* of S*wUn«' JjfJJJ some hundreds of ncrJs wtvs rltat the all-prevailing opinion in Scotland is that the effect of free-trade must rum the farmer.. But,'1 snys the Scotsman, suppose, as we are told, that t|,e transition from one system another is the cause of such low piipes and that they will improve after the alteration oi the'Corn Laws has begun fairly to work; even should this the case wl»° 's ,0 refund the money that we shall then have lost, allowing we should be able to stand until prices got better! By all appearance, before such an event, one.half of the Scotch farmers will be bankrupt." Mr. Brotherton. M.P. for Salford, a leading mem- ber of the Vegetarian Society, mentioned in a letter to a fiiend, a fact of some interestWith regard to the cholera in connection with vegetarianism, I |,ave ma.ie some inquiry, and I believe it may be asserted that not one member of the society has been attacked, either on this or the former occasion. I am told that a vegetarian at Leeds who was exposed in the very worst districts, and who visited great numbers of families, when the disease pre. vailed, did not suffer in the least. The nonsense about the danger of eating fruit and vegetables is unwoJthy of notice. Reductions have just taken place in the coast-guard service by which £ 50,000 per annum will be saved and twenty revenue cutters are ordered to be sold. It is said that the efficiency of the fofce on shore is considered moie important than that afloat, both as a coast defence and at protection to the revenue.
THE FIRST DAY OF TERM.
THE FIRST DAY OF TERM. BY A GERMAN. The following graphic description of the opening of the law courts in Westminster Hall is translated from the supple- ment of the Wieller ZeitulIg, for Oct. 2:- The English law tenns are the four seasons of the Lend.) lawyers, which differ from those of Thompson, since each of them has a spring in the autumn-that is, a seed time and a crop, hence four harvests in one year. Though the days on which the sittings are held do not produce the same excite- ment that the assizes do in a provincial city, they neverthe- less are by no means unobserved, especially in that part of London where Westminster Hall stands. The streets and lanes leading to it receive a more animated physiognomy, the cabmen appear in greater numbers in Palace-yard, are oftener called and slumberless. Through all the outlets debouching into Whitehall there pours a stream of both white and red advocate faces, hurrying clerks with blue crammed bags, notaries (for the most part in sleek condition), and myrmidons subordinate to the interpreters of the laws. Interspersed among them there walk, a thing seldom seen here, from their own dwelling to the Hall, both young and old unoccupied jurists, arm in arm, leisurely chatting and laughing, and, after brief sojourn, they return as they came. These peripatetics, or ambulent sages in jurisprudence, are called here street practitioners. On the opening day the movements is greatest. Crowds of curious spectators assemble to gaze on .the personified majesty 01 the law. In the interior of the hall, that is supported by no pillar. and which is 270 feet long, 74 feet wide, and 90 high, there is no scarcity of female garbs, the wearers of which I rustle up and down, chaperoned by such of their male ac- quaintances as have a right to be here, a privilege they take good care to exercise on this day. Before the edifice, carriages roll, rattling on or away, policemen perform the functions of so many masters of the ceremonies, whilst others confine their observant gate to the cut-purses and pick-pockets. These last probably repair hither from the morning music of the military band near St. James's palace, striving to realize hopes unful filled, and to repair the mortification of failure there in the throng here, which they themselves produce even, I when such a mance vre appears practicable. On a sudden the din ceases in the street, the perambulators in the hall are requested to range themselves into ranks, and the gentlemen to take off their hats. Carriages come rolling up in a sharp trot and stop before the principal gate the richest and most splendid of them is the state carriage of the Lord Chancellor. Through the folding wings of the gate he enters the hall, before him advances the bearer of his official sumbol, the golden mace he himself in a huge curled white prmiered long wig, with a heavy gold breast chain over the black velvet talariumof ample folds, the border of it garnished with massy gold fringe, and its Jrain held by a page. He is followed by the Vice-Chancellor, clad also in a black gold-fringed ornat and a king wig then, side by side, pace the chief judges in scarlet robes, trimmed with ermine. To these succeed in due rank and precedence, each in his official costume, the inferior (puisne) idges, the Attorney and Solicitor-General, the Queen's Counsel, the Serjeants-at-Law, and all these fortu- nate beings whom the Lord Chancellor had invited to the grand breakfast. Among the spectators gathered in the hall, there are a number of advocates without law-suits, who, notwithstand- ing, shake hands no less friendly with their colleagues blessed with practice, and who laugh no less cordially with the sharers of their own destiny. Yet you may see here and there some isolated individual who holds a quire or so of paper in his left hand, and in his right hand a pencil, with which he notes down comments on the margin. To judge by its externals it may indeed be a so-called brief," that he is reading, a status causae, the detailed statement of a judical process, which the solicicor places together in its pro- per array, then presents to the barrister, that he may discuss it before the tribunal. These quires of paper may contain such a commission, but perhaps they may be also what is techn:cally termed a ''faggot," the substratum of a suit long since litigated on and settled, by the display of which the ho'der wishes to convey a belief that he has a practice. For the very same object another carries a thick legal tome under his arm he wishes, too, to make certain folks suppose that he is about to be called on relative to a point of law that will have to be'decided on in conformity with his peculiar view and opinion. There are many other contrivances besides for planfng one's foot on that career which many seek, but the goal of which very few reach. Nobody can of conrse in moral strictness, excuse these attempts at deception, limited as they may be to what I have stated, bnt there is some little excuse in common charity for many a one who has tarried for years in expectation, and who feels the rack and torture of want. It was in this charitable mood that I glanced at th list of names hanging up in the hall they are those who have sought to be admitted as attorneys during the current session of the court. In the first sitting of this year their number amounted to 180. Whoever feels inclined, opens a door, draws open curtain that reaches from the ceiling to the ground, and steps out ot the front hall into the Court of Queen't Bench, where the judges sit on a bench covered with a crimson cushion. Behind them the royal arms shine emblazoned on the oaken panelling above them is a a canopy before each is a desk of polished mahogany. Lower down, in wigs and gowns, sit the Queen's Counsel as apportioned to this tribunal; still lower, the barristers that are to speak to-day behind them, on bench after bench, the uttcr barristers," who, like the many collected still further back, are only present as mere auditors and spectators. A printed paper posted on either side of the entrance shows the causes that are to come on for debate, and the names of the parties. Before the most favoured advocates who have to plead to- day lie on a narrow tabic the "briefs" in lofty heaps. These are showered on them from all sides, and, like the labour they bring with them, often surpass the powers and strength of the pleader. Such labour brings, it is true, wealth with it, but destroys health. Bald pates, pale cheeks, and sunken eyes bear witness of this, and more than once, when the sun's rays fell into the hall,, it seemed as if the eyes of those envied jurists followed them with ardent long- ing, as if they wished to feel their benign warmth in God's free creation. And yet these men are and remain the envied, with reason too, when compared with the unoccupied or briefless ones. Toil, amply rewarded and well-earned honours close their lives, for long ere this the fatigul.s-the fagging of work-has removed from them the still greater fatigue of vacuity and ennui. By having played their parts well and ably on the boards of the world they have thus ful- filled their destiny, forgotten themselves in their vocation, and worthily completed the measure of their days. How melancholy in comparison with them is the lot of those, who, year after year, day' by day, watch for an opportunity of making themselves known, who no longer strive after wealth, but a bare sustenance. There are more of these than may he credited. My countrymen on the other, side of the channel read and hear with astonishment of the colossal fees, of the stupendous golden practice accruing to the London barristers. Rarely, however, have they a conception of the progidous difference cc between the blessed and the unblessed, the over occupied el and the utterly unoccupied, and the complete disproportion of their numbers. In none of the three faculties is the differ- ence so great, the contrast so striking. The Loid Chancellor Eldon, who die,1 a millionaire, of pounds sterling, says, in his posthumus memoirs, that the jump of his professional annual income from forty pounds to four thousand pounds was a very short one, and, even if this be not the rule, still, in this in- stance, the superabundance of one-ninetieth out of the famish- ing hundred, this wonderful rapid transition from the latter to the former is by nomeans a solitaiy case. It was rotated in Lord Brougham a long whUe ago, in two or threeTtK but recently some years back they were nobodies, but now they a e someb»d es. At that time vacuous, they have new work without end; then poor, new rich in the extreme The clergyman, so long as he has no living of his own, can repre- sent another, and be his substitute. The barrister once called to the bar, can only fight under his own colours.* The physician is able to conceal behind a busy air his want from his clients-that is, future patients but the counsellor must expose and bare his want to his. No jonrnal names him in its report of law proceedings, and when he sits at Westmin- ster Hall, upon the bench of his unemployed colleagues, his inoccupation is manifest, is palpable. The good luck of t'.e law determines the ill luck of the many. Day after day the columns of the press, in their law reports, repeat the names of those few so constantly that the foreigner is apt to think that there are no more than ten or twelve advocates in all London. They are partly right. These ten or twelve keep splendid equipages and numerous servants have their town houses, and in the country their villas and when at length they grow weary of pleading, they become judges and judgt-s- in-chief, mount, perhaps, the highest step of judical elevation, fill the arm chair of the Lord Chancellor, and then die as the founders of ancestral noble families* It is this which makes the lawyer's profession a kind of lottery, awakes the vanity of parents, the pride of talent, the voice of ambition. Hence springs up the countless crop of lawyers that have nothing to do whose industry rusts unrewarded, and whose spirits are consumed in affliction, and vain regrets. They and others forget to reflect on all that is required to make a fortune at the English bar. Industry, talent, learning, are inditppnsa- ble, but are of themselves inadequate for assuring success. Above all, there is required the patience ofthe man of Uz, and since no one can wait without the means of waiting] since no roan can gnaw his nails year after year in Westmin- ster Hall who has nothing-else to bite, since not one can attend the assizes in the circuit without the wherewithal to pay the expenses of the trip, it is clear that, to succeed, the aspirant must have money, and again money, and once again money. Moreover, heaven must open its kind dispensing hand and drop down opportunity. Without opportunity for distinguishing himself, all his industry, his talents, his learn- ing, are as useless as lumps of gold at the centre of the earth or as pearls at the bottom of the ocean. For success, oppor- tunity is needed and it is only too certain that such an op- portunity is more rarely conferred immediately by Heaven than by the mediate interests of inftuential friends. Let us return to the sittings in Westminster Hall. It may easily happen that tfie forensic speeches just held do not con- tent the expectant nnd listening spectator, and appear to him wholly disproportionate to the European fame of the speakers. This, however, is not at all their fault, but that of circum-' stances, since these, in a mercantile state, such as England, (After nearly a perennial peace, furnish little subject matter tfor important orations before the judicial benches in West- minster Hall. The orators see themselves confined mostly to the technical expounding and the ingenious appli- cation of the laws they deem pertinent. What is, therefore, heard now-a-days turns round solely in this circle, so unin- teresting for the layman in general, BO peculiarly unat- tractive tor the foreigneri for the latter by so much the more, V PPoslnK he really does know English m(LS'-aS8,,rrdl7 do«* understand the law better than thenat.veRngfi^jH other defectively. The learning of the pleader seems to him, therefore, vastly tedious, his accura™ A<» • • mouthing forth of so many syllables,^ h if discour^TI 7 with difficulties, idle bfibble and wordiness. He m" en wit that would be here oa t of place, the humour that* won Id be unpardonable, and is but too apt to censure the SDB V for not striking out of that path that alone in reality lead t' thii goal. He eannot, however, help perceiving that 'the orator possesses the calm self-control of a man fully equal to his task—that, like a man of fine breeding, he speaks not precisely loud, but audibly and distinctly, in a tone that does not startle and surprise, but convinces. He sees that he effects this mildly, modestly, regpectftilly-that he evidently understands the difficult art of being silent when he has not something to say, but when he has, of hitting the nail upon the head. l He who, therefore, with a sufficient knowledge of the English language, and with the capability of not suffering himself to be scared by being at first disagreeably disap- nointed, wishes to obtain an insight into the law business f the London barristers, let him visit the sittings in West- ter Hall. Me sees here that sound, calm, cold measured ml „rietv that distinguishes the real well-bred Englishman K most a[ipr°Pr'!ate behaviour, a seriousness befitting the i an object kept in view with unerring precision, place, a oerhaps, where intellectual forces of such magni- i'vr"1' »■»'- nae are ( measure of giddy excitement, and no where'are less words squandered when there is so much to say. The counsellors of the litigant parties contend against each other witho.lt vulgar rude v.olence, trn.mph without low exultation and succonvb without repining. The pre- siding judges, patient, dignified, and courteous l.sten^^ lively, interrupt without giving offence, and bla.ne without being severe.
DEODORISATION OF MANURES.
DEODORISATION OF MANURES. The fallowing paper, on the deodorisation of manures, is extracted from the trnnaictions of the Manchester Literan and Philosophical Society. It was contributed by James Young, Baq., chemist to Temiant Clows and Company'- works, Manchester, and the practical character of the writer ijives a value to his recommendations The present is a time when anything on the treatment o' manures must be acceptable, whether for preserving the va- rious refuse matters of agricultural purposes, or for preventinp their decomposition in cesspools, and places, previous to their removal from the town to the country. Our great sanatory problem, the solution of which has oc- cupied much attention, is the prevention of decomposition in organic accumulations in towns. This has been partially ac- complished by various methods, but the expense in some cases, and the noxious products in others, have proved a bar- rier to the adoption of any general plan. Any substance to be generally used for this ptirpsse must he cheap, and must not only have the power of preventing decomposition in the organic matter to which it is added, but must also be tree from noxious effects upon the land or vege- tables to which this matter may be applied as manure. Being engaged in the manufacture of chlorine on a large scale, it occurred to me that the chlorine of manganese, which results from that manufacture, might have all those qualifica- tions. The refuse of the chbrine process is principally chlo- ride of manganese, with a variable quantity of per chloride of iron, and is at present considered as useless product, one houst- throwing away thirty-six tons per day of this solution, of a specific gravity varying from l"280 to 1"300. Having made a number of experiments during the summer, I am satisfied that this solution has, in a high degree, the property of preventing decomposition in organic matter. Se- veral cesspools, and other places which gave out the most putrid odour, having been almost instantaneously sweetened by its application, an effect heightened by a small quantity of free chlorine, which this liquor always contains. I need scarcely describe to chemists the action of this salt, the principal effect being, that the chlorine combines with the ammonium of the sulpheret of ammonium, and the manganese combines with the sulphar, thus, forming chloride of ammonia and sulphuret of manganese. The former is well known as a valuable manure, and the latter being in a floculent state, will readily supply sulphur or sulphates to vegetables. The salts of manganese and iron aro>peculiarly fitted for land, being employed by nature in feeding plants, both being akiu to earths, and not possessing açrlA metallic properties. As there are at present fn this country not less than 150 tons of this solution producer daily, which is 5ilhs. per an- num for each individual, from the experiments f have made, I consider there is more than sufficient to deodorize all the cesspools in Great Britain.. I may add, that after considering the matter carefully, in the different points of view wJliêh would naturally occur to a practical person, I mentioned, tftp matter to Dr. R. A. Smith, and Dr. Lyon Playfair, both .of whom fully agreed in the views I had taken on the subject.

ABOLITION OP CAPITAL PHisisHMBNTa.—A public meet- ing was held at the Bridge House Hotel, London Bridge, on Monday evening, to petition the Legislature for the abolition of the punishment of dea-th. iA large number of females were present. Mr. Gilpin, who took the chair, stated one remark- able fact to show th?t ececatipns had a tantalising influence, and were most unlikely to present the commission of crime: "The Rev. Mr. Roberts, of Bristol, had ascertained that out of 167 prisoners sentenced to death H)4 had attended execu- tions." Mr. Ewart, M.P., said that a great change was taking place in the public mind on this subject, as evidenced by the opinions expressed by the judges:—" Some years ago the judges were unanimous in favour of capita) punishment. Within the last three years, before a committee of the House of Lords, when their opinion was asked on the same subject, Lord Denman gave no opinion at all. Would he not have declared in favour of it if he thought it right? (Hear.) Mr. Justice Maule gave no opinion. Mr. Justice Coltman gave an opinion against it. (Cheers.) Mr. Justice Wightman did the same. Lord Chief Justice Wilde, one of the greatest lawyers the country had produced, was not for capital punish- ment. He said the objections were very great, and, when the Chief Justice said that, he was not very tar from being a convert to their opinions. Air. Justice Crampton, of the Irish bench, abstained from giving any opinion; Mr. Justice Perrin was 'decidedly of opinion capital punishment should be abo- lished and Chief Baron Pigot wax decidedly against it. He was much mistaken if in the recent elevation of Mr. Justice Talfonrd they had not found another enemy to capital punish- ment on the judicial bench."—The Rev. H. Christmas stated that upwards of 500 of the clergy were in favour of the im- mediate abolition of death the Archbishop of Canterbury said it was a matter requiring,much consideration; the Bishop of Winchester thought it would be all the better for a little ventilation;' while the Bishop of Saint David's cordially con- curred with the advocates of abolition, an opinion which had been shared by the late excellent Bishop of Norwich."— Several other speakers followed, some confusion being created by the outrageous radicalism of a Mr. Stephens:—" If mur- derers on a large scale were made dukes, he did not see why Mr. Calcraft, the high priest of the great national solemnity of hanging, should not be created Baron of Horsemonger-Iane, in the county of Surrey." The prepared petition was adopted and the members for the borough called on to support its prayer in Parliament. THE BiSHop op MANCHESTER AND THE CUKATES' AID SOCIETY.—An angry correspondence has taken place between the Bishop of Manchester and the Clergy of Leigh and West- haughton, in reference to the charges made by the Bishop against the Rev. J, Irvine and the Rev. J. R. Alsop, in his public speeches at Blackburn and Manchester, The Vicar of Leigh gives the following enumeration of what the bishop as- serted that "certain incumbents" were chargeable with, viz — 1. With preferring the wretched ceremonial of a past time to the vital essence of Christianity." 2. With "dwel- ling upon a dress in the Church, instead of the spirit in which the doctrines of that Church should be taught." 3. With "clinging to the surplus in ministration, instead of clinging to the word and vital truths of God." 4, With telling the bishop that they must cling to those antiquated follies, un- sanctioned alike by the letter and spirit of our Church and of- the Church of Christ, or become infidels." 5. With "dis- respect to their official superiors, under the affected plea of Catholicism and the ancient customs of an ancient Church." 6. With "claiming to themselves the right of withholding the right of baptism and burial frOto others."—"Sending chil- dren from the Church whose parents are anxiously craving for them to be received into ttie Chiirch.—Sending that same child unburicd from their Church gattes, in consequence of the want of that baptism whjcJjjh^ thepaselvtt^fefused." Mr. Irvine "solemnly and eVnpnatti-iilly" denies the truth of these charges, as touching Himself, aid asks, whether it be seeming or right that incuit}l»eiiU should be made the ob- jects of misrepresentation and odlltm,. not for disobeying the Church, but for holding opinjoits at variance with the private notions and wishes, of his lordship, though in strict accord ance with the laws and requirements of the Chnrch." Mr. Alsop also denies having ever líèld, er expressed to the bishop or to any person, such sentititentroas the bishop twice publicly ascribed to him, and defies bis lordship to the proof. The bishop has intimated his intentitHi to publish the whole of the correspondence. THK UNION JACK.—This history of the union jack is. perhaps, not generally known. In the third year of King James I it was ordered that th* flags to be hoisted on board ships were as follows :—At the main—The union jack, which M' was to be composed of the Saint George's red cross, on a white ground, by all ships. At the fore-The Saint George's flag, for ships belonging to South Britain and the Saint Andrew's flag, for ships belonging to North Britain. In 1800, on the union with Ireland, the Saint Patrick's red cross, on a white ground, was added to the union jack; the flag, therefore, should be constructed so as to show obviously the three crosses distinctly whereas, as at present constructed, the croo;eos of Saint Patrick and Saint Andrew are not suffi. cien ly ol T ous; and Ib: perhaps, may be a reason why it is not generally understood in Ireland that the union jack is an Irish flag, and that Irishmen do not fight under their own flag, and which is a cause of dissatisfaction with the Irish.— United Service Gazette. THE COCK AND TUB CAT.—AS Mr. John Fairhurst, of Longton, former, wasgttting out wheat in his barn on Wed- nesday last, the cat was very deliberately on the watch among the sheaves, ready to pounce on any luckless mouse that showed itself when turned out of its warm cover. A game cock which was near the barn door, stoutly strutting his dames before," watched with out-stretched neck and eager eyes the proceedings of puss; by degrees he drew near the scenes of so much bustle and excitement, and at last fairly entered into the game side by side with the cat. Catching mice was a trade at which puss was more expert than her friend the Chanticleer, for with the aid of teeth and claws, she seized her victims before they were all aware of her pre- sence. He, however, soon gained experience by patience and observation. and soon, with his sharp pointed beak, caught a plump mouse, which unwittingly had come within his range, and bore it by the nape of the neck out of the barn, at the same time making a peculiar chuckle of satisfaction, followed bJT puss, before whose longing eye-, he carefully dropped it. Puss returned to the play she so much loved but the cock, having tried the sport, was satisfied with the novel part he had taken, and marched away, followed by his wondering names.—Preston Chronicle. DR. CHALMBRS.—A persoij "well known in Glasgow for superior talents and scientific attainments, but, withal, for a tinge of scepticism in religion;was met by an old companion 'lrrying to the Tron Church While the bells were ringing for the afternoon service. Come," said his friend, and hear t-'halmers." I shall do no'rach thing," the reply. Do you think I would trouble my^f to hear a madman ?" You had better judge for yourself by coming for once." And taking his arm they were both speedily seated in the densely- crowded church. What was the astonishment ot the sceptical gentleman when the doctor gave out for his text—"I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth, and soberness." He felt {hjs false judgment of the preacher was rebuked, as it were, by.W voice from Heaven; and the sermon which he heard, the object of which was to fix the charge of madneM where tt olii-fit to be fixed, on those who, believing in a future world, emitinue to live without God and without hope while it vfrSslliown that truth and soberness were only with those who act according to their belief and profession of the gospel, was admirably fitted for deepening the impressing made by the text, and for removing the flimsy arguments of philosophy falsely so called." From that day forth the gentteman became-1 constant hearer of Dr. Chal- mers, a confirmed believer irf'the doctrines, and a steady per- former of the duties of tb*v Christian faith.—Free Church Magazine. er IHE LOTTKRV MANIA.—-ITIFLT which a government em- ploys as an instrument of wealth is sure to be followed by the people to a lower extent but in a more mischievous man- ner. In 1772, lottery mngaiine proprietors, lottery tailors, lottery staymakers, lottery glovers, lottery hat-makers, lot- tery tea merchants, lottery barb.,ers-where a man for being shaved and paying threepence Mood a chance of receiving £ 10—lottery shoe-blacks, tottery eating-houses— where, tor sixpence, a plate of meat was .given and the Chance of sixty guineas—lottery oyster-stalls, where threepence gave a sup- ply of oysters and a remote chance of five gunieas, were pi n- titnl. Every ravenous adventurer who eould collect a few articles advertised a lottery. Shopkeepers, compelled by the decrease of business, took the hint, and disposed of their goods in lottery. Ordinray business amQnH the lower trades- men was generally suspended. Purchasers refused to give the full price for that which might be obtained for nothing j £ [ge profits were procured upon worthless articles, and in 1/09 s° great was the eagerness to subscribe to a lottery, jt Mercerss Hall was literally crowded with customers, and the clerks were insufficient to record the influx of names. It was, however, from those who were termed "titttetmea" -which drew the last penny from the pockets of the poor .an—which saw the father gambling and the daughter starv- ing. the mother purchasing tickets and the child crying for rt-that most evil arose. The magistracy, not always tne first to interfere, grew alarmed, and announced their aetj'rnunation to put into practice the penalties which, if earlier enforced, would have been heneficial, but, unhannilv were incompetent to put down that which they might easily have prevented. It was found also utterly impossible to restrain in private adventurers the wrong that the State had sanctioned in I)tiblic. -Fr(incis's Chronicles of the Stock Kxcfiange, The'cost of mitintaining prisoners In the Worcester citv gaj>Ms 3s. 6d. per head per Week, while the cost of pauper's in the Worcester Union Workhouse is 2s. 4Jd.

Denman, tt.Ji., for steering a ship when the usual helm becomes disabled, to be fitted to her Majesty's steam frigate Terrible, at Woolwich. A terrible loss of life hat occurred at Trinchinopoly. An idolatrous festival, held at the top of a high rock, which was attended by an immense concourse of people, a sudden panic occurred, and the multitude from above pressing upon those below, upwards of 400 were suffocated or trodden to death. j A gentleman walking a day or two since in the streets on Liverpool, during a thunder shower, had the lii<htning attracted by the metal of an umbrella which he was carrying, and he received a shock but was not hurt. His watch, however, was turned a copper colour. Andrew Davies, a child seven years old, lost his life Manchester en Wednesday week by a bead which he bad put in his mouth getting into his windpipe. Lord Denman has had a severe attack of paralysis, which it is feared will! preclude the possibility of his lordship remaining much longer on the Bench. The noble Lord's services have now extended over a period close upon seven- teen years. The amount of collections at the churches in the metropolis on the day of thanksgiving exceeded £ 3000. The sum of X250 was Rlso collected at the great Synagogue, Duke's-place. SLKKP.—The Poet Young says, "Steep is great Nature's second course-the balm of hurt minds." Johnson says, It is the parenthesis of human woe." Sleep being thus appre- ciated by mankind, how desirous ought we to be that all should tranquilly enjoy sweet repose," the general obstruc- tion to which is through an unhealthy action ot the liver or other viscera. A little attention to the "young disease," by having recourse to a mild aperient, often produces the most salutary effect, and for such purpose Frainptou's Pill of Health stands preminent in public opinion. MACHYNLLETH CATTLK FAttt was held on Monday last, when the quantity of beast exposed for sale were numerous and of first-rate quality, and it is highly gratifying to state that the prices on the average were very much in ad- vance of preceding markets. The attendance of dealers was very numerous. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.— On Sunday morning a hog pig. the property of Mr. John Broadman, gardener. Lower Road, Deptford, rubbed open the stye door and made its way into the parlour, where the animal attacked a male infant, about five months old, lying asleep in the cradle. The cries of the child alarmed Mrs. Boardman, who was in the kitchen adjoining, and with much difficulty she beat off the beast, which also bit her severely in the leg. The child was shockingly lace- rated, the left foot being entirely gnawed off. It is not expected to survive. Mr. Exley, guardian of the poor ot Menston, has been fined £ 5, for having given money to a female pauper to iuduce her to remove to Bradford, where she became chargeable to the parish.
