Tests of Insanity. 
The frequency with which the plea of In¬ 
sanity is made in the case of criminals, and the 
demand made upon physicians, who are sup¬ 
posed to know more about insanity than any 
one else, for test imony as experts in such cases, 
is attracting the attention of the medical pro¬ 
fession. Ji. 8. Guernsey recently read n paper 
before the Medico-Wul Society, In which the 
whole question seems to us summed up m the 
following paragraph: 
Fit is undisputed that jnaanUy is resrarded as 
emanating from the brain, and may 1 V <■'* 1 
by a diseuae of that organ. It isoftenUmca hf- 
ficult to decide In any given case whu ar 
any peculiarity is the result oi a voj-y ab 
ami one-sided development o' the braiit or or 
actual disease. Thcgeueral proiclpleaon wlilcJi 
all decisions of this question must be baM.u, aie

and incites to a manner of Hut and to spimntl 
deeds that, are repugnant to the average "lsti- 
tutions of mankind, then we have ‘f* 
suspect the existence of Insanity. Although 
tboaveraVe sentiment and experience i>l notn- 
kind may be an iodellnlto standard by which io 
test the sanity ol that individual, it is tile same 
by which physicians are to judge of it by com¬ 
paring the symptoms of disease with those ox 
health. 
Preventing Cruelty to Animals. 
Thkhk Is a society in Now York and other 1 
cities, with the above object. A year or more 
ago, a Frouehman named Lon is llonard died 
and left the New York Society $150,0110. This 
bequest has been In litigat ion, but the validity 
of the will has been established. The opera¬ 
tions of the Society have been ostentatious 
enough during the past few weeks to advertise 
it thoroughly. Horse oars with one span of 
sick horses attached, and loaded with seventy- 
five to one hundred poor human heiltgs, have 
been stopped In the street, the horses seal, to 
the stable and the poor humans compelled to 
walk home after they bad paid five cents each 
to insure tim sick horses dinwing them. The 
cruelty to these humans has resulted la the 
most violent advertising of the above-named 
Society. Now wo Kuril that it is to erect for 
itself a beautiful block of buildings and secure 
headquarters adapted to its operations. Serious¬ 
ly, Borgh is doing a good work in compelling 
one class of brutes to respect the rights of the 
other class. 
Metropolitan Civilization. 
Since our last, issue, some terrible illustra¬ 
tions of the character of and dangers in a Met¬ 
ropolitan city, into the boundaries of which 
llow with unuhatlng tide, representatives of 
the worst, and few of the best, classes of people 
in tbo world. For example, James ( King shot 
Anthony F. O’Neil just as he was leaving u court 
of Justlco in a bulldlugin this city. It was de- 
libei’atoly done, and death resulted at once. 
Again, a prominent and wealthy citizen of 
Louisville, Ky., Mr. Oeo.M.Pcay, left the Bran- 
fire th House in this city to go to bis hotel, at 
2>,4 o'clock, A. M.; was perfectly sober; there is 
no possible reason for his voluntary disappear¬ 
ance, but since lie bade ills friend “good night 
at the door of the said House, he has not been 
seen, nor can tidings be obtained of him. He is 
supposed to have had a good deal ol money oa 
his person, and the worst fears are entertained 
concerning his fate. These are some ol the evi¬ 
dences of our Metropolitan character and civi¬ 
lization a single week has afforded. 
Henry M. Stanley. 
Tins gentleman, who was sent by the New 
York Herald to find Dr- Livingstone in Africa, 
and succeeded, Uas arrived in this counti'y. Ho 
was received by the Herald Club, and is likely 
to have bestowed upon him all the attentions 
he can support with comfort. He is to lecture 
through the country, and will doubtless con¬ 
sole himself for his isolation in Africa with the 
dollars free-born American citizens will con¬ 
tribute to look upon his face and listen to bis 
voice. Ho is generally regarded as having "a 
big tbing" in the notoriety which his adven¬ 
tures have secured to him. 
Mrs. Fair Did Not Lecture. 
It is creditable to the citizens of- San Fran¬ 
cisco that Mrs. Fair’s attempt to trade upon her 
notoriety as a murderess was not allowed to 
succeed—Hint she was not permitted to deliver 
her lecture, " Wolves in the Fold.” The topic 
is a good one; the may have handled it well; 
but it is not creditable to the American people 
that tbo belief exists that the more notorious 
and repulsive the character of a man or woman, 
the greater their success as public teachers; 
and we are glad that for once, at least, this be¬ 
lief has been refuted by practical action. 
London International Exhibition. 
The third of the series of London Annual 
International Exhibitions will be opened at 
South Kensington in April, 1873, and closed iu 
October, 1873. The Exhibition will take place 
in the permanent buildings, created for that 
purpose, adjoining the Royal Horticultural 
Gardens. It will consist ot three divisions: I. 
Fine Arts; II. Manufactures; 111. Recent Sci¬ 
entific Inventions and New Discoveries of ail 
Kinds. The productions of all nations will be 
admitted. Ail industrial objects for exhibition 
must be new. With the view, however, of in¬ 
creasing the educational value of the Exhibi¬ 
tion, the Commissioners will, wherever possi¬ 
ble, set aside certain spaces for collections <>f 
ancient works in the Industrial Division. No 
rent will bo charged for space. The Commls- 
eioners will provide glass co-ses, stands and fit¬ 
tings, steam and water power, and general 
shafting, free of cost to the exhibitors.

MONEY AND TRADE AFFAIRS. 
New York, Monday, Nov. 25. 1872. 
The past week in Wall Street was signalized by one 
of tin>so periodical sensations which have not been 
unusual since thu rule of such people as Jav Gould, 
HitNtty N. Smith, (hot to mention ihe late James 
Fisk, Jr,,) on the Stock Exchange. The presentaf- 
liilr Involves the arrest of Gori.n tor robbing the 
Erie Road of *9,721.000 on the affidavit of Smith, who 
had been caught by Gori.i; ami the Vanderbilt 
people in a cornering operation of Northwest Stuck. 
The corner was made pretty tight early in ihe week, 
aud the urpst oi Guild whs made on Friday night. 
It soon transpired, however, that Smitu’s retaliation 
oaine at the wrong season for the shorts tn North¬ 
western, himself among the number, for Gould at 
once gave orders to his Brokers not to sell North¬ 
western at any price- until he got back from the Sher¬ 
iff's office, where be had no difficulty in giving bail. 
The stock consequently began to run up and was 
soon “ out of sight,” $200 per share being bid at four 
o'clock on Friday. Next day the other victims than 
SMITU and B4NTKI. Drew were let off at 8150 per 
share, which was no mean loss considering the stock 
had been contracted at i 78 to $s5 per share. DREW’S 
Brokers failing to deliver fils stock fiy two o’clock 
on Saturday, the President ot tlie Exchange pro¬ 
ceeded to buy it iu under the rule for their account, 
and the price again run up to $200 to $230 per share! 
Mr. Drew will have to settle the difference* in cash, 
but Smitu sets all rules at defiance, not beinga mem¬ 
ber of the Kxch-nge, uud the settlements will have 
ro go over to ills Brokers, of whom Gotn.D, as well as 
li liificlf. Is special partner, it is not known at the 
time of writing this report what is corno of tbo at- 
talr m between these worthies. But the general 
stqck market la higher than on our last quotations, 
and the bearish speculators are evidently afraid that 
Northwestern nmy not prove the only corner. 
As a foil to tho Northwest corner. Smith and others 
have,been Bulling Gold and attempting daily corners 
upon ihe Bankers and Importers in the Gold Room : 
but only with partial success, as Gold is now lower 
than last week. Exchange is lower and abundant 
and the Exports of Produce are on the increase, as 
well from Now York as from the cotton ports of the 
Boutb. 
Money keeps dear and close, and the Bank return 
is again weaker in the reserves of Gold and Green¬ 
backs. The Stock Brokers pay 7 per cent, gold inter¬ 
est on call louns and the Note Brokers pay 10:912 per 
cent, on good merchant paper not accommodated at 
bunk. 
General trade, except in the receipts and exports 
of produce, continues quiet; perilarps partially bet¬ 
ter than usual late In November. The city shop¬ 
keepers are looking forward to a good trade for the 
holidays.

Beans anil Pena.—There has been no abatement 
in the quick demand for beaus, and the advanced 
prices ilo not in the least cheek the inquiry. The 
supply will be larger us farmers will have more time 
to spare ! mm this time forward, but there are a good 
many orders yet to fill even nt the firm figures noted. 
Mediums and marrows soli very nearly alike. Pea 
beans are very scarce. Kidney are steady an 1 firm. 
Green peas may he quoted higher, as they aru going 
into use. Canada peas scarce and he/d above the 
views of the few buyers. Southern B. E. peas quiet 
and nominal.

thin lx is nearly as easy ot access as it wa* during tho 
rush of choice earlier in the Fall; and. until that
