The deceased came to India in company with the Rev. Mr. Winslow and others, in theyear which period he had resided in Dindical and Madura. He has left a wife and three children whese affile-tion may be named, but cannot be described.

His judgment and experience had qfclained for him a large place in the confidence and resepeel of his missionary associates, by all of whom his lost will be long and deeply felt. A Despekado. The Louitville Banner contains the details of a horrid attempt at murder in Mercer county, on the 3d inst. One Thumss Simpson, who had just been bailed out of jail, where he had been confined on a peace warrant, attacked his wife with an axe, without any other provocation than that which was given by her tender importunities come in to supper," and inflicted three serious wounds. The almost lifeless woman was carried into the house by a lady, who was there, and a negro woman; when Simpson endeavored to beat down one of the doors, which had been barred.

The inmates fled out of another door and he followed. He overlook his brother in-law, John Cecil, and struck him with his sxe, fracturing his skull sn seriously that no hope are entertained of his recoverv.

Three or four enthusiasts, who believe that men were made for a higher object than to eat, drink, sleep aod die, recently petitioned the Common Council of New York, toeatablish a picture gallery, which should be open, without charge lo the people.

They designed to employ an influence or two, for bringing out the rarer and nobler sentiments of th human mind they thought that perhaps a few pictures upoa wall, might effect something, and that by and bye, a library and public museum would be adJed. But their design wut unceremoniously nipped in th bud. The Common Council declined moving in the matter. A year ago, several philanthropists, in the tame city, proposed th construction of baths, at the public expense, and adduced many sound sr. guments in favor ft lit project.

They maintained that cleanliness of person, produced a cor. responding cleanliness of mind and heart. This was sn old ides, and had been broached years before, but th "public fathers" did not believe it, or they certainly would not have objected to the expenditure of a little money, make all their "children" clean. Tn. we will sun nous that somewhere in th neighborhood of Canal Street, in Broadway, there was a lirg building, well stocked with books, cabinets of mineral, paintings, scientific appara-ma! mnilrli of machines.

It might be that these evidences of human de generacy would flourish as greenly as ever and that baths and libraries and lectures wouia nave no perceptible influence upon them. But is it not a fnlse and pernicious notion, that the principal object of government is to punish vrime that the people must be taxed to support rogues, while nothing is done for the elevation and refinement of the, honest man I We have mere than once laughed, though it is no laughing matter, to see the Mayor of New York escort some distinguished stringer to the Penitentiary and Alms House of that city, and show him a multitude of miserable men, with the badgeof shame upon them, wnat sort of gratification euch a spectacle can afford an intelligent and true man, we are at a loss to discover. But th people pay heavily for tuch monuments of degradation, and are compelled to, by an urgent necessity! for crime must be punished promptly and at all hazards. But while we pay large sums to punish, why not advance a little to prevent At all events, if we must have public prisons, let us have by way of offset, public libraries too.

The reflecting stranger will say, otherwise, that we take great care to provide properly for knaves, while on honest men we do not bestow a thought. Now, then, in every large eity, let the means of moral and intellectual instruction be adequate to the wants of the inhabitants. Set young minds to thinking, and young eyes to looking. Scatter books and pictures in their way sharpen their curiosity and direct it, and in a little while it will work its own way, and the results will be las-tingly beneficial. He who proposed the introduction of music into our common schools, was great philanthropist.

Carry his plan fully out, and the world will yet acknowledge him to be another Howard. We have heard much of late, of music for the million." Give the million a taste for this science, a familiarity with it, and sn all powerful agent of good is established. In Brooklyn, we have various associations, of the character referred to, and they have accomplished much, but their means of usefulness would be greatly increased, if they were fostered by the City Government. And we maintain that all town and city rulers, should liberally encourage every vehicle for imparting knowledge to the mass. It is easier to make honest, industrious, intelligent men, than corrupt, lazy and igno-rent ones.

It is easier to fill public libraries nnd museums, than prisons and alms houses, if the right means arc adopted. State Tax. We understand a number of distinguished citizens, interested in real estate, meet to-day with a Committee of the Corporation of New York, to confer on the subject of the one millttate tax. It has been stated that New York and Brooklyn have heretofore paid greatly more than their just portion of this tax, and the citizens of New York arc now tiling measure to put the matter on a proper footing. We hope Brooklyn will not neglect her interest in this matter, but will give it immediate attention.

JT The Native Americans, who proceeded to Albany a few days ago, to protest against the passage of the New York Police Bill, have not, we are induced to believe, accomplished their object. Their opposition was so hastily arranged, and their objections so imperfectly presented, that the friends of the bill easily tustained it before the Legislative committee. We presume tn Natives would like the bill better if they bad the appointments under iu They are desirous of effecting a complete reform in the government of New York, and of course wish the Police depart-ment to be under their own control.

It appears that this disgusting disease, made its first 1 1..

or I82ind thai, since then. seven persons have died of it, after bavin languished from three to six years, in the most deplorable state. One of these persons, who had retired to a wooden cabin, through a hole in which he was fed, died, it was thought, in a slate of menlalinsanity. But every one was apprehensive of the eontagion, which, in aome cases, it wns believed, had been carried by the overseer of the poor, whose duty it wss to provide these poor wretches with the food necessary to sustain ex-istence, end for which they retained their natural appetites. It is alleged that such is the contagious nature of this malady, thai persons have been Infected by reposing in the same beds with those who had it, and that a young man who had assisted at the funeral of one who had died of it, and on whose clothing some of the matter had dropped, contracted the disease and died of it.

Also, that in the county of Gloucester, there have v. iuelo nermns attacked bv this disease. and nearly the same number on the other side of the boundary Deiweentnai county aim nuimuiu-berland. It it believed that there are other eases which arc concealed, because the moment it is known that anyone is seized with that disease, he ia universally shunned and banished society. Among the cases enumerated, is that of a female who was shipwrecked at Caraquet, on her road to Quebec, and returned to Chatham, where the disease developed itself in her person, and com-mnnicated to two inmates of the familv in which he resided, and to a child which visited the house, of whom the whole three died.

It appears that the malady is incurable, and Invariably ter-minates in death. The reading of the documents which accompanied the message, exciledlhe warm eympathy of the Chamber for the unfortunate sufferers. Drs. Thomson and Earle, -expressed their opinions that the disease was not leprosy. The former pointed out the eflecli of the mode of living and of the habits of the population among which the disease prevailed.

These he declared lo be exceedingly filthy, which not onlypredia-posed them to scrofulous affections, but rendered such very difficult to remove. He especially re-commended a change in the food and mode of living of these poor people, and particularly iu-cation and amusements, to induce a healthy action twt TheChamher unaniraous- UVlll IUHIU ly voted 500 to the Executive lo procure medical assistance, to aeparate the infected from the healthy population, and to ameliorate the condition of the lormer as mucn as possioir.
