CURIOUS STATISTICAL FACTS—ITALY THE GREATEST R4@ COLLECTOR, AND THE UNITED STATES THE GREATEST PAPER CONSUMERS OF THE WORLD FIGURES THAT DON'T LIE—UNCLE SAM'S CLAIMS 40 UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE. The Evening Post of the 21st inst. published a ‘paragraph on rags, which contains some curious and interesting statistics. It appears that we im- ported in 1863 from all countries 22,766,000 lbs., of which we received from England 2,666,005 lbs., and from Italy about one-fifth of the whole. The total importation, as given in the Post, corresponds with the official returns for 1853; but there is obvi- ously some mistake in the ratio of importation from Italy relatively to that from all other countries which, as the subject is unquestionably an interest- ‘ing and novel one, not often entering into statisti- cal investigations, we will endeavor very briefly to reconcile with such statistics on the rags aud paper ‘trade of the United States, Great Brisain and France, as are accessible at the moment. ‘The following tabular statement exhibits the ag- gvegate quantities, values, and prices per pound of rags imported into the United States from all coun- tries, distinguishing in a separate column the quan- tities received from Italy during a period of ten consecutive years, from 1846 ro 1856 :— Pasknonts, frm tae lane pete Pe Pounds, Dolla 8,002,865 6,520,234 18,512)673 12,220,670 14,171,292 3 24)240/999 23,948,612 1,010,413 1,225,151 Aggregate .. 206,631,054 148,300,155 61, An.average..20,663,195 2-5 14,830,01534 81 05 From the preceding table it will be seen that dur- jug the decennial period ending with 1855, the ag- cegate quantity of rags imported into the United States from all countries was 206,631,954 lbs., while the average quantity received from Italy reached as high ag 148,300,155 Ibs. ‘The aunual average for the period designated will, however, furnish a more statistical basis for ascer- taming the 1elative importance of Italy compared with all other couritries as the principal source of supply upon which the United States must rely, with any dezree of certainty, for an article, the con- sumption o! which is so rapidly increasing there; -even during the past year, an alarming deficiency of the manofactured materiat was seriously appre- sheuded by the conductors of our periodical and Dewspaper journals. The average annual quantity imported into the United States, from all countries, daring the period designated was 20,663,195 Ibs; the average aunual quantity received from Italy was 14,830,015 its. Thus it is shown that instead of one- fifth, as stated in the Post, Italy actually furnishes nearly two-thirds of all the rags imported into the ‘United States. ‘The Post's paragraph further states that the con- sumption of paper in the United States is equal to tuatof France and England combined. In_other words, that the 25,000,000 inhabitants of the United Sta.es consumed as much paper as the 44 000,000 inhabitants of France and England. This ue very nearly correct. The statistics, however, wili Prove interesting, According to McCulloch, the number of paper millsia operation in Englund in 1835 was 760, an. the annual vatue of tue paper manutac'ured reached as high as 96,000,000. At that period, however, the anu acture of paper was burdened with an excise ‘duty amountiag to more than three times as much as ‘the total wages of the hands employed in making it, end the quantity annually produced did not exceei 50,000 Ovv los. of first class and 16,000,000 lbs. of second cles paper, requiring a supply of about 100,000,0 0 Ibs. of rags. Improvements in machinery and mode of mana- facture, and the application of steam, have reduced the nember of mills in Great Britain and Ireland to 330, according to the latest statistical returns; while the quantity of rags annually consumed has risen to 201,600,000 Ibs., or over 100 per cent. We have com- piled from a recent, though in this country a rare Dublin pubtication on statistics, the following tabu- t sho-~ing the tity of paper manu- i ase, comiemed ead export Mn Great Britain for a period of nine years, ending with 1s54:— Companariee STATRENT SHOWING THR QUANTITIES oF PAIER Masvracty np, Consvatky AND Exvorrsp iv Great Bri- TAIN PROM » 1 L864.

It is also to be traced in the fact that we publish morelyeadable books, periodicals and public journals, than all other nations combined, und are consequently more abundantly supplied with the “raw materials of every kind of science and art, and of all social im- provement.” Varicus causes may be given in explanation of the second fact. It maybe because the chief primary raw material of paper, hemp and flax, are among the most abundant catural productions of the different States of Italy, and the high price which Italian rags always Command favors the supposition; or, it may be, that in in point of fact, we are indebted to Turkey and Greece for a large portion of our imports of this article through the ports of Trieste, Genoa, Naples, &c. And who has not heard of the extravagant manufacture of the raw materia of paper in these two countries? “If a sudden tear,” says a late English writer, “or a stitch givin; way suddenly unfold this garment, (his cotton (23 ticoat,) a Greek, hurrying ov, will leave a flag near- a rege of a mile long fluttering behind him. ‘or is the use of cotton confined to the person: his bed, blankets, turniture, his covering by day and by night is of the same material.” But pe: the true sparen is found in the history and charac- ter of the exporting countries; for their statistical returns show that as they advance in the arts of civi- lization and social prozress—as they acquire or re- vive a taste for letters and unfetter the faculties of the human mind, their exportation of rags dimi- nisbes in a ratio proportionate to the inorease of books, and, as a necessary c uence, to the diffu- sion of knowledge. Where fre m of speech and of the press are recognized among the inalienable rights of the citizen, rags are unknown as an article of foreign commerce. ‘The Disputed J MOTION ON BEHALF OF JUDGE PEABODY TO COMPEL THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO BRING SUIT TESTING HIS RIGHT TO THE SEAT OF JUDGE DAVIES. SUPREME COURT—SPECIAL TERM. Before Hon. Judge Harris. Apany, Aug. 1, 1856.—Soon after Judge Pea- body’s retirement from the Bench, in order to have suit brought to test his right to sit in the Supreme Court, he made a formal application to the Attorney General to institute such a suit, accompanying his application with a draft complaint sworn to by him, stating the grounds of his claim. In his complaint he avers that all the votes cast for the judgeship rendered vacant by the death of Robert H. Morris were cast for himself, Judge P. Subsequent to the application made by Judge Peabody to the Attor- ney General, the latter officer addressed a letter to to one of the Judge's counsel, declining to institute any suit in the premises, and giving it as his opinion that Judge Davies was fully entitled to his seat. This motion was then made before Judge Harris for a mandamus to compel the Attorney General to institute proceedings in the nature of a que warranto, for the purpose of having a final trial and adjudication upon the rights of the contestants. Charles O’Conor and Henry L. Clinton, Esqrs., of New York, appeared for Judge Peabody. The Attorney General was represented by John K. Porter, Esq., of Albany. ‘The argument was opened by Mr. Clinton, He stated that he could cite no instances where courts had compelled an Attorney General to institute a suit to try the title toa judgeship in a case like the present, for the reason that no Attorney General had ever before ten spn himself the zesponelbility of to @ proceeding. effect decided that two vacancies cine h he First Judicial district. He did not contend that they had decided the question in terms, but that that was an inevitable result of the decision made in the case before them. He cited the various provisions of the constitution and the statute, together with the opi- nion of Judge Johnson, of the Court of Api * showing that the electors were called upon to fill a vacancy, and thatthe elected to vacancy bad a right to assume his seat as soon as the election was concluded and the votes officially canvassed. ‘The learned counsel maintained that tae reasoning of the Court of Appeals in relation to the Morris vacancy equally established the it contended for in relw to the vacancy occasioned by the death of Judge Edwards. He then proceeded to show, by the citation of numerous autuorities, mandamus was a proper remedy in this case, ond quoted the provisions of the statute requiring the Attorney General to “bring a quo warranto wherever any person intruded into the office,” &c. ‘The word “may,” used in the statute, he Py meant “should.” (Dwavius on Stat. p.604. 5 John, Cc. nog He cited from Bisckstone and other au- thorities the doctrine “that every right when with- a ee Se ee. injury its a dress,” & mandamus was a Fasc enwhar te pry nts Be thing done, and hath no other fie compelling its performance,” He to 12 Johnson's reports, Riles 8d Jobnson’s cases, . 79; 20 Barbour, 305; Tapping on Mandamus, pp. i ‘7, 28; Cole on Information; Tancred on war- rantos, and other authorities.

There was @ mere omission in the other districts to return a specimen baliot, for which Judge Peabody was not responsible. He contended that upon these facts, and the decision of the Court of ap ‘als, there was not a shadow of doubt of Judge abody’s right to a seat on the bench. He con- trasted the course of Judge Davies and the present Attorney General with that of Ji C and the former Attorney General, the affording every facility for peo byrey 3 the question in wed ee Cowles’ right to his seat, which was by the court of last resort within a month or two after the commencement of the pro- ceedin Had not Judge Peabody met with many obstacles, the question as him_ might have finally been set at rest months since.

MORNING EDITION—MONDAY, AUGUST 4, 1856. The Law Courts. There has been very little busine."6 transacted in the law courts during the last month, and nothing but cham- ber business and motions at special term will be done until after the summer vacation ¥ ‘The Marine Court will be open every day, aecording to statute, which provides that it ehall be open for business every day in the year except Sundays and the usuad holi- days, During the past month the three judges have been trying cases or Learing arguments for this month. Judge Maynard will try jury cases whenever they are called for, A special jury is ordered for to-morrow. Judges ‘Thompeon and McCarthy will try causes wherein no jury is demanded, and also attend to motions and argument. At special term, owing to the faet of the other courts of recor having taien a recess till October, the business of this court is much increased during the summer months, ‘This is the only court compelled by law to keep open the whole year through; the calendar, however, is now so far reduced, owing to the three judges*working every day, that last week the day calendar was disposed of each day, and in fact, causes have been tried in their regular order, wherein the cause of action arose within the last ten days. The August term of the Court of General Sessions commences to day, Judge Capron presiding. The calen- dar is larger than usual, owing to the small number of cases disposed of at the last term, The bail cases have all been adjourned to the September term; and as there will be no lengthy cases tried this term, the session will be short, probably not over ten days. There are three murder cases on the present calendar, but none of them will be tried this term, as no indict- ments bave yet been found, the cases having ocgurred since the adjournment of the Grand Jury.

BOOT Co OH RD The Common Council, Tho Board of Aldermen will hold the first meeting of the August session this evening, and-it is probable that they will sit five evenings this week and three next week, t@ finish their usual number of sittings as speedily as pos- sible, and then enjoy the remainder of the month in the country, or in the discussion of politics. ‘The Board of Supervisors will also meet this evening. The August sessions of the Board of Councilmen com- mence this evening, and will be continued daily, Satur- day excepted, until the completion of the eight sessions required by law. We are not aware of any business of special importance likely to come before this board at the present term, and we presume little will be done, except to raise the salaries of sundry officials who imagine them- selves overworked and underpaid. The bill of Stephen H. Branch, for services rendered and money spent in the fumous pilgrimage to Brandon, is the first business on the tapis, having been made the special order for this evening.

JgaLovsy, ATTemrTeD*MURDER AND Scicte.—Some days ago we published an account of an attempt at murder which had been made upon a woman named Swartz, by her husband, Joseph Swartz, The parties lived at No. 37 Goerck street, and it {8 supposed for some time past bave been living on bad terms with one another. Swartz attempted to murder his wife, by striking her in the head with a hatchet, and then thinking that he had killed her, he escaped from the house and drowned binself, The body of Swartz wa: at first suppored to be that of some upknown man, and was reported as suen in the Fp ew) bet on Satur: mor! the brother of the deceased came to the Coroner's office, and at once identified the body of deceased, from the description there given of hin. Mrs. Swartz yet remains in a criti- cal eltuation from the effects of the murderous cut she received at the hands of ber hasband. It is «upposed ‘hat Swartz intended to murder his wife, and thinking that he had done so, became peuitent for his crime, and resolved to commit suicide, and thus end all his miserins.
