Robert Gardiner Hill has found it necessary to prove his title as the inVentor of the Nori-Restraint System in the Treatment of Lunacy . In a volume calledA ' ConciseHistory of the Entire Abolition of' MecJianicalRestraint in ' the Treatment dftheThsane ( Longman and Co . ) lie establishes his claim beyond the possibility of dispute . The work , however , has more than a personal object . It exhibit ' s the -wonderful contrast between the old and new systems , arid thtfows vivid light upon some of . tie most painful yet most interesting episodes in the history of the human mind . We are chronicling the appearance of a few miscellanies not calling for detailed treatment . Although of a totally different character , therefore , we may here mention Mr . Thomas Forester's Memoir oil the Proposed Junction of fke Danube and the Black Sea by a Railway behceen Tchernavoda and a- Free Port at KiisUndjie ( Stanford and Co . ) . It contains an able view- of the resources of the Danubian valley , the navigable capacities of the river , and the trade of the Black Sea , and sets forth certain proposals of considerable importance to the commercial community . A free port at Kustendjie ,

      connected by a railway -with the Danube , would undoubtedly develop one of the mam principles of the Treaty of Paris moie effectually than any meeting of plenipotentiaries . & m Mr . E . B . Denison has republiahed from the ' Encyclopedia Britannica ' bis instructive treatise on Clocks and Locks ( Edinburgh : A . and C Black" ) adding ' A Full Account of the Great Clock at Westminster / The volume needs no recommendation . .

      most despondingly of the state of India as viewed , by the dwellers in India , and the perilous position of the army before Delhi ; Lucknow and Cawnpora , isolated almost from the lower part of Bengal , must be viewed with great anxiety by all save the Government and its organs who put the best face they can on the matter . Consols have been ranging between 90 and 90 i , the settlement of the share account taking plaxie on Wednesday . The contangos were light and some particular shares scarce . Midland at the account were 80 ) , to-day they are 83 . London and North We ' stern have also had a rise , and most of the heavy shares are from 10 s . to 25 a . better than on the account day . Caledonians remain very firm at 42 J . Berwicks rose about one per cent , after the settling day . North Stafibrds and Great Northerns are also firmer .

      In the colonial and foreign share market East Indian railway shares remain at about three per cent . discount-Grand Trunk of Canada and Great Western of Canada fell 21 . in the week , but have since Tallied , and are now at last week ' s prices . Lyons , Northern of France , Luxembourg , Sarnbres , Royal Swedes , Ceylons , are in better demand . The mining market has been well supplied this week ; inquiries in Tehidy , the Bassetts , Lady Bertha , Wheal Zion , and Wheal Edward continue to be made . Amongst foreign mines Linares , United Mexican , Cobre Copper , and Sir John del Hey , have beon dealt in at advanced prices . Joint-stock Bank shares are quiet , nothing moving . Several members of tlie Stock Exchange who had been away during the autumn having returned , there has been a little show . of business this week ., A . considerable failure is reported at Manchester .

The Wonder was on Thursday revived at the Haymabkbt , with Mrs . Sinclair in the character of Violante , and a new actor , Mr . Hen / kt Seddey , in that of Don Felix . The first general meeting of the Vocal Association was held at the Music Hall , Store-street , on Wednesday evening . The report by the secretary showed a balance of nearly 20 / . in the hands of the treasurer . The library is progressing favourably ; and the Association appears to be making-way .

      CORN MARKET . Mark-lane , Friday , October 2 , 1857 . Reuoiits have arrived from all parts of Great Britain of the extensive failure of the potato crop . In many districts nine-tenths of the whole growth are useless ; but from Ireland the accounts are not so bad . This , ' and moderate supplies from the farmers , have had the effect of giving a firm tone to the markets throughout the country , and a rise of Is . per quarter on Wheat has taken place generally . Good Red English Wheat in London is worth 56 s . natural weight , arid on tho East Coast the prices asked arc 55 s . f . o . b . Norfolk PJour , a pretty ready sale at 40 s . per sack .
