In rnr o ot emergency, our ml teens, seeing that they Uu not enjoy the same protection with subjects of Kuro penn governments, wfll have just cause to com plain.

Thus, according to this ratio, tho diib-rciice between the relative velocity of the earth in surface motion nt London and at Liverpool is about twcutli eight miles per hour: and this amount of lateral ttove uiuut is to lie gained or lost, as respects the loco motive, iu each journey, according to the direction travelled in from one place to the other; and in proportion to the*i>eed will be the pressure against the sides of the rails, which, at a high velocity, will give the engine a tendency to climb the right haud rail in each direction. _ __ Lxehiuige.

Napoleon In Africa The .Vhitesis compelled to dissent from tbeplea .-aut but utterttf ill fouH'lcd conclusion# of the Hritish press, that “France is about to abandon tle African stove trade” to deal henceforth ex elusively in Chinese Coolie* and Sepoy (prisoners <>t war. The American press ha* copied and ac cepted this delusion in good f&lth from the leading jsmdon journals, which, however, uever could have believed anything of the kind themselves. It ia nowepeuly argued by f the French pres* that the introduction of even eight ©r tea million# ot Africans iu tropical America, and in French colonic# of the Old World, would be nu affair much less costly and difficult thau the seige of Sebastopol, while it would stimulate the commerce -tud manufacture* of France to a hitherto unheard of extent. The Nicaragua canal project has a three-fold object: French supremacy on the Isthmus, the employment of French capital in the introduction and use of African labor on the canal, in the mums, in the unequalled sugar lands ami uusur passed • otton land* of Nicaragua, aud finally the permanent occupation of the Isthmus by a pre ponderating population of the inferior race*, whom slotn of social and political equality would nnd. r ineerpration with our Fnion an impossible event. France intends to eiaiiu and colonise the mag nifieent island of Madagascar, who central ridge “f well watered nnuntodtisia fully capable of sup plying tho loom* ot France with ail the cotton they now buy of u*. The slave trade is in full operation : the canal project is moving on under the silent but decided auspice* of the “Arbiter of Europe;” *mi the Island of Madagascar is quietly made a colony of France: •*nd it is in this character that Prince Napoleon nM*Ni *t*enj th> co/ohim. informs the world thjtt this colony. Wish the t’omore Islands, which France filibuster* witl\ Madagascar, are not to be despoiled of their laborer . The masse# of those islands are the slaws of their chief* as matters now stand, nnd a string, resolute monarch like Napoleon 111. has a splendid amount of raw ma terial on hand for the construction of a richly productive colony in Madagascar and tho Como ro Ulands. The East coast of Africa, at a day's sail Ireui these new colonies, I# a fine reservoir for the supply of additional labor when required, nnd therefore tbe “*a*t coast of Africa” is also barred Ut the slave trade by the same decree of January fith, Iftfttf, which protect* Madagascar and the Comoros from bnth French and foreign incur sion*. This is the real explanation of Prince Napo leon’s letter, which the British pres* sends over tA its credulous American cousins as an indica- i tioa that France is about tu give up the African slave trade, and take to Chinese and Sepoys for that traffic.

In the case es Causey vs. -AVilcy Banks A Cos. from Crawford, the Court granted anew trial on the ground of error iu the charge of the Court below. _ , . , In delivering the Lumpkin, J.. said that iu charging the'Jury the Judge used the expression, ‘‘Fraud cannot be presumed—it tnuft be proven. He thought that while th* expression waTto bu found in the Reports, and was frequent ly used by Judges, it would be better to say that while fraud must be proven, the proof may be in ferred from circufostanees—that the first expres- sion wus too strong—it might mislead the jury they might suppose from it that positive testimo ny w** required to make out a case of fraud.” In ease of Macon and Western Railroad vs Jus. M. I>avia, tlie judgment was affirmed. The main point grew out of the following state of facte. James M. Davis administered jointly with the widow of intestate, but brought n action against the road without including the Administratrix.— Before th* trial of the core the widow married, lviWJfliV plaintiff to insert the name of the wid ow with Davis in tho action, and then also per mitted it to he stricken out on the production of the record of the proceedings of the Ordinary of Crawford—to all of which Defendant in Court below objected. The *Bupreme Court held that all the motions were useless, that ou the mi-rriage of the Widow, tho sole right of ac tion survived to Davis, the administrator, and af firmed the judgment.

Army Intelligence A letter in the N%w York Tribune, from tlrin n!l. lowa, gixes the particulars of a shocking murder and suicide near tlint place, on tho 9th iusl., hy Lieut. Roane, of the U. 8, army. Roane, it seems, wa# under the influence of delirium tre mens, and hence while in the office of a railroad company, with a wildexprescioo deliberately fired at a .Mr. Haw* who. full dead, with a single excla mation, “0 my tlodi” the lutll entering his heart. He then pointed to another person in the room, who was not. able to wrest the pistol from him and who fled by the door, and returning to peep in at the window, saw Lieut. Roane, the murderer, fall by a foil from hi* own pistol, deliberately placed at his temple. The murderer and suicide said he ho was on bis way to Washington on a furlough, and bad a letter to the President. Major Harnett, Oth infantry, is, by direction of tbe Secretary of Wnr. releived from serving us a mernfor of the board ©f officers which ha* been ordered to convene in Washington. Lieut.

Time was, that when the bruins were out thp man would die,” but a Wisconsin paper tell* a story, which would seem to confute the theory of the Thane. We ask the attention of the facul ty, and the phrenologists to the case. It is that Janie* Campbell a laborer in the em ploy of George 0. Irvine, Esq., of Dunn County, whose brains were literally knocked out by tbe falling of a tree, some six weeks ago, and strange —••wr'vnn arm living, iffit Da# regained all hi# faculties, and bids fair to recover bis usual sound health. Dr. Crocker of Dunnville the sur goon iu attendance, thus describe* the case: “I found the patient lying insensible, with a large hole broken into the left aide of the skull just over the ear, both tho left frontal aud parietal bone* shattered, and two pieces, one an inch ami a half by two inches square, driven cotnpletly into the brain, and (portions of the brain protruding. After removing the fragments of the bone, 1 then removed three-fourth* of a wine glass of brain, in conjunction with Uirco piece* of the tree, which had also been driven quite into bis bead. From the first there wus a copious discharge of thin wa tery fluid from tbe ear, of course through the Eustachian tube, I considered the case ho|lcs, as tbr several .lay* after the first dressing, the brain continued to uow out, ami piece* as large as a w alnut sloughed off before the wound began t<* cicatrize. The case present* also a remarkable mental phenomenon which will interest phevnolo yit. The patieut before the accident, wo# never known to sing or whistle a tune in his life, but no sooner was he able to speak than he began to sing with perfect correctness, and now displays a taste for music amounting to a passion.
