' The rat it will be observed, is an animal that will exist in sewerslilled with mepliitic vnpours dan arena to human life. By expciirvients made in Dr. Johnston‘: lboriiter by his students in I848, llie rat was found to be is very fit subject or anesthetic ea- periineiits. A coiiiuion turt w ic is more tenacious of life than the rat, was place.-dnlvider the receiver, and was killed ins much lllortcr period of lime." ' ‘hos were present suffered severely from the effects of the poison. Dr. Jackson, at the time of his communication to the Boston Jlledical anal Siirgicol Journal. had not verified his scientific iii- duciiona by experiiiients on animal life ; the discovery has now been verified by practical test; it shows moat conclusively how cor- reclly scientific deductions may be drawn in chemical physiology.

The manufacture, accordin lo the specification, is: acted by cans of can-iron nioulds, the inirriof of vvliicb, are of the exact iinensioiis of- the coiiiiiion iic *; in this mould ii certain quantity of dull‘. or waste eon , powdered coke, charcoal or cinders is placed, and being car- bonized, Ihe snislgnnialed mnleriiil swells to the exact’ form ra- quiisd. ieu ,liikeii from the nioufd it undergoes is finishing recess, in which varnish is applied to the end or side, iiviiig while wet ii coating of powdered glass, with an admixture efii niincrsl colouring instter. sified over it.

Deoisios on riii: Us av LAW is New Jsssrv.—A corve- spnndeiit of the New Jersey Hz-mlil furnishes the subjoined sketch of ii ease ol' usury recently decided in ilist Sula . " The law upon this subject provides not only that all usurious contracts are void, and makes that a good defence where it can be proved, but also Ihat any person who shall, directly or indirectly, take. acce t, or receive more than lawful interest on any loan, shall forfeit the full amount of the money loaned, one half to the use of the Siaie, and ineotlier to the prosecutor to be recovered with costs by ,1ction of debt on the case, in any court of record having cngnizniico thereof. It is not simply making the usurious contract which subjects the leiiderto this penal action: he must not only contract for unlzivful interest, but iiftsrwiiits receive it in pursuance of Ilie conlruct. - On the l5th of October, l816, a citizen of Frankfort, in this county, leaned tonne of his neighbors ii took his note with two friends as aureiira, for S 350, payable in two years with interest—making s shave of $50; on $300 lent. When the note became due, the lender sued the ibiee makers upon it. There was no witness to piove ihe_usury except the borrower, and he being sued with the others-Pit was out of their power to set up iisuiv as tdelenee to the note, for want of evidence to prove ii. The securities then paid ilie 8350 and interest, and the costs of ihe suit ; and one of them tiiineil around and sued the lender under the law shove referred to for the peiialiy of 830”, being the amount loaned. The suit was tried in the Circuit Court of this county, before Judge Ogden, August tenor of I550. 'l'lie usury was proved by the borrower. and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 8300, ides ilie costs. The defendant moved in arrest of judgment, which the judge refused, and then remanded the suit by will of error in the Supreme Court 'lie- cause was argued I! ll!!! llil February term of the Supreme Court, and at the term just closed the court unanimously affirmed the judgment. ' The New York Tkibune thinks, lblt the advent of the Dem- ocratic rly to power, in the United States, is the forerunner to is lsrge addition of territory to that country ; and it therefore advices the must proper course to be pursued, under the circumstances.
