\Ve understand that the engineers coin-

('3' By the courtesy of the Superinteudant
of the ‘Insane Retreat. we have been favored
with a copy of the 26th annual Report for the
year expiring with April, 1850.
\ The year was begun, as we gather-from the
report, with one hundred and thirty-three. pa-
tients ; one hundred and thirty-five have since
‘been admitted. making the whole number for
the year two hundred and-sixty-eight. Of the
one hundred iind twenty five discharched,sixiy-
four had i'ecovei ed, twenty-four had more or
less improved. seven were not improved, being
old and hopeless cases. and thirty have died.
The present number in the Retreat is one
hundred and forty-tliree, seventy-three males
and seventy females. The daily average of
,the different sexes has been more nearly equal
the past year than for several previous years.
It will be seen by reference to the table of
General Statistics, that. the number of admis-
sions, the daily average for the year, the num-
ber remaining. &.c. «Sic. exceed those of’ any
previous year, the yearly average being nearly
double what it was seven years since.
The number of recoveries is larger than that.
«of any previous year "e.xc-epting the last, and-
this ni.imber would have been increased by the
addition of several cases from among those re-
ported as being more or less improved, but for
their ill advised and premature removal from
the Institution. '
Two thousand and tliirty-two patients have
‘been admitted since the opening of the Retreat
in 1824. of whom one; thousand and thirty
were fe"m'ales, making an excess of only twenty-
‘Bight more females than males.
Eighteen hundred and eighty-nine have been
-discliarged, of whom one thousand seventy-six,
' or fifty-six per cent. have recovered, and one
liundred‘ and eight.y—five, or nine per cent. have
died. '

Ira \Villiams of Beihel, put an end to his life
on Wednesday afternoon last, by hangingliiin- .
self with his handkei'c.hief. He had for the
last two or three months been laboring under
great depression of spirits, induced by some
pecuniary einbarrassment, during which time
he had expressed fears that he should be driv-
en to commit the rash act.
On the morning in question he took a razor
and proceeded to his barn. His wife fearing

THE .VAsnvii.i.i: CO.‘.\‘Vl-JNTIONISTS exhibit
the cloven foot of disunion in tneir Resolutions,
and, with ‘some exceptions, there can be little
doubt. that these Conventionists desire to es-
tablish a Southern Confederacy—a free trade
alliance with Great Britain. under the vassalage
of a British fleet’s protection.
'l‘heestablishment ofslavery in the Southern
part of California,—a pure sectional Southern
pai'ty.——tliat. is, a confederation within a con-
federation; ti Southern President, or a North-
ernman sold to the South exclusively : retali-
ation and non-intercourse. that is. civil war‘;
no confidence in Congress as to justice in the
matter of fugitive slaves; continnnncn of the
slavo trade in the District of Columbia; 36.30
or NULl.lFlCATlON,——these are what the Rosa-
lotions ofthe Conventionists point: at.

E-I?‘-Horace Greeley, who is at \Vashington,
writes to the Tribune, that the struggle to
(Eominence in the House on Tuesday on the
passage of the California Bill materially affect
the prospects ofthe Compromise in the Senate.
If excitement and anger should be developed
(as is most likely) they will damage the chances
of the Compromise in the Senate.
The growth of Disunion.in Congress is rapid.
There are not less than sixty members of the
two Houses who dispair oftlie Union and wish
the Slave States were well out of it. They
don't dislike the Union per se———on the contrary
they would rather like it: if " our property”
were only safe and “ t.he finatics” would (ease
their opposition to Slavery ; but since the case
is at is, they are only anxious to get peaceably
and happily out of the Union into a Southern
Confederac_v. The votes of this class will de-
feat the Compromise, if it be defeated, as I
think it must be.

This new article for supplying the place of col"-

est to our readers.
It is similar in its outlines to the human body in
a recumbent position and consists of an- npperand
lower metallic shell, which are joined together in a
horizontal line in the center. each part being of
about equal depth. The shells have each a narrow
flange. which when placed together are bmind by
screws and cemented at the point ofjnnction wiili
a substance which becomes as hard as the metal
itself‘. They are both thoroughly enameled both
inside and out. and thus rendered asentirely air-
tight as any case can be con.-tructed. The upper
shell is raised work, and ornamented in the ca.-ting
with the appearance of rich folding drapery thrown
over the body. It has nheavy oval glass plate over
the face, on which is screwed a polished metallic
cover. »
