Mvpiieg; otel. rspleined the smurree whence she funds of the Society arose. Each Alember suhsctibed WA. a year t9PArdS:the4kilibral oPtoCeS, and some perhape might be. unwilling to • burden the funds of the Society by votes of ibis kiwi, and would prefer in cases which bad cisims.ott their in sulnictibp . ebservell. Stout the.Comaiiitee were of the Whir opinion.; they had fully considered this tiptoed to the subscribers, and were,nf opinion that, if any &mi.'s., agreed to, it would be a precedent for other applicatioes,which. like this, could not he 'considered roams liately con, Atecteri with the INIPreSIS of Lloytre; end that the tlisties,es in the West Indies, .occasioned.by the late hurricane, atql many local subscriptions, bad equal claims tu tlwir ;noire. lie concluded by reading the . 1;1. 16 0404m, which had been referred to the• Commit. lee, and which purported " That the sum of 5001. he grimed from the general fends of the S o ciei t towards relieving the distress of the 4rfferer. by the late Fire in St. John's, Newfoundland." M.r. RAM' N 50,41 spoko in support of the Resolution. lie thought there was no ground for founding any objection on the supposition, that the acceding to this vote would, be the means of bringing. farwsrd other appeals to their humanity, to which they would be equally bound to attend. In .his opinion, the present came was so distinct from ,every other, that no precedent could be founded upon it. 'lke establish. event which had ,suffered. was intimately connected with the navigation of the country ; and in general had been the calamity, that none of, the inhabitants WPM left in the possession of property sufkieot to enahle.them to relieve the more destitute sufferers. — Mr. R. read four letters, and staled, facts relative to the &Winn of Newfoundlarid, which he conceived calculated to induce the Meeting to accede to the motion. After the war the island had suffered greatly in consequence of the turn which affairs then took. The fi s h.rsod., of which this country had the coin. mend during the war, was diverted intoother than. vela in the peace. Newfoundland was not like other colonies. That island bad no local Legislature, and no means of relieving any distress which occurred but by individual charity. The are, in 1816, had oc casioned great distress, but •it was relieved by individual subscriptions, without any public op. Vicatiou having been made to this country. The tire of November last had, however, produced such general distress, that no adequate relief could he obtained from the resources, f the island, or from the aid of those More immediately connected with it. On this ground it was thought that the vote of that house would be of great importance. It was not so much the sure, considerable as it, wes, which was to he looked to, but the effect it would have as en ex ample. If double the sum of 5001. were to lie col lected from the members us individuals, which he doubted not might easily be done, he shoqld not re. gout it as of equal value to that sum proceeding from a vote of the house. The , application was for the relief of urgent and great distress, and be hoped it would not he withheld. A Gentleman, whose name we could not kern, said a few woods in a low tone of voice against the ration, intimating, as we understood, that he thought it better for the members to subscribe individually than to vote a sum from their general funds. The question was • then put; .and negatived by a show of hands; the majority against it being very considerable. Many of the.sebscribers present im mediately entered their names to the sobscription, already opened to alleviate the distress of the ire habitants of St. John's. Newfoundland. CORONER'S INQUESTS. Yesterday an Inquest was held in the New Pri son, Clerkenwell, on the body of Daniel Parish, • youth 17 years of age, who was committed to this prison preparatory to his taking his trial at the 04 Bailey SessiOns, for stealing a quantity of shovels from a tin-shop. The father, end likewise the bro. thee of the deceased, requested permission tis be pre. sent at the taking of the evidence, es it was consi tiered the deceased's death was premature, is conse they, were in the Jury-room during the examination. John Anderson said, " I am a prisoner, and acted ea a nurse to the deceased, who had been under my care since the 21st of December last, when he was ender my care its the Infirmary ; he laboured under a bad cold, but he got betor of it, till about four o'clock on the Saturday following. The next day saw him lying in bed, and his eyes were ball starting out of their sockets; I immediately gave an alarm, and Mr. Webhe, the surgeon, in , tatitly came and rendered every assistancti.in hispnwer, without eifecA, es the deceased expired about one o'clock coo Sunday morning." Mr. Webbe, Snrgeon to the Prison, said, " I or dered the deceased, into the Infirmary on the 233 of last month; he had a cold and slight fever, which he recovered from; I was, sent far to the de ceased on Saturday evening; I went nnd . faund the deceased in a state of stager. I did every thing that laid in my power to restore him, to no avail— he died on Sunday morning—f have no doobt his death was occasioned by water on the ventricles of the brain." [Here the father and brother saftl, that they thought from what had been said, the cold he underwent in the the prison might be the cause of his death.] The Jury, at the request of the Coroner, and the persons connected with the prison, went to view the infirmary, as it would do them Mond to witness so ripen and comfortable a place of the kind. The Jury repaired to view the Infirmary, accompanied by the Coroner,. Ike. when the Jury was informed that every mattress they laid on cast three guineas, and the blankets lfls. much.—The Jury passed many high elogiums ow the Infirmary, and appeared highly gra tified at the sight. , One of the Prisoners, w,ho knew the deceased, said, he was of opinion the deceased's death was co - kited more from.a dread of being transported than any thingelse,and he had every attention paid to him. The Juiy.retarned a verdict of—" Died by Ike Abelian of God." . h~~ai TH .

BOW•STREET.—Yesteidiky Mr. Mami, the cele brated Comedian, appeared befoesi.GgoanOlicaS, Esq. charged with having.sserl threatening and sin. lent language to Mr. George Sanittel Ford, of lAn coin's fun, with a view to induce him to commit a breach of the peace. It appeared that Mr. Mathews had of late been exercising his professional taleuts in Franco, and during his stay there Mr. Ford incurred his displea sure by some proceeding whiCh he had recourse to in Mr. Mathews's house; on Mr. M.'s return be went to Mr. F.'s office, accompanied hy a friend, and in demanding satisfaction, called him a villain mid a scoundrel. The charge having been heard, Mr. Mathews, in his defence, admitted that he had used the words, but that the conduct of. Mr. Foal richly merited last guage of the most degrading nature, and that he Was deti.rmined to apply it to him wherever he met him. Mr. IlicaS thought such menaces might ultimately lead to a breach of the pence, and directed Mr. M. to find bail, himself in lout, and two sureties in 501. each, which he immediately did. John Hughes, a young man of genteel appearance, was charged. with a highway robbery, under she fol lowing circumstances:— . On Tuesday evening, about seven o'clock, the Prisoner went to Mr. Eaton, who kelps the Black Swan publit-house, in R.yder's-court, Solici, saying he lived iu IVarclour.stivet, and was recommended by a person who Mp. knew" as having some very good port wine . 9( which be wonted four bottles, il as it was Twelfth li bt, • aad be was . Ong to have some friends to supper, and giie theal s eitinep. He desired that change for a five-pound note might an company the wine. A (prole sereant took the wine in a basket ; be desired her to be so cautious as possible iii not shakiug the wine. fie accompanietl. her, and' when they get into a dark coed in peialtreet, olio, the Prisoner desired hei to stop till he went jo his uncle to get a five-pound note; he went into 9 house and remained five minutes, on his return he went up to the servant in a hustle and hurry, and said to her, " here is the five.pound note." The girl hiving been cautioned against parting with the Opine of the wine, held both fast till she satisfied herself as to the correctness of the five-pound, but the Prisoner forcibly took the change out of her band, consisting of three one-pound Bank-notes, and one pound in silver; he did not attempt to lake the wine, but having forced the change from her, ran off and made his escape. Information being given at the above office of the robbery, Jefferson, the coal Stable, who had been in pursuit of a man for similar .offences for three weeks past, traced him out.yester , day morning at a house in Peter-street, Berwick street. tin searching him, a 11. Bstik-note was found, which Mr. Nixon, the landlord of the Black Swan, was enabled to identify as being nee of those stolen from kis servant, he having just before taken it of Mrs. Wolfe, a neighbour. The Prisoner made no defence to the charge..—lle was committed for trial.

AY, W,4s.Alibt before the LORD *Axon., to answer As complaint de GautLeman of independent fortune in the city. A friend of the Complainant mentioned to his Lord,hip, that a connection had unfortunately fn. isred between the two persons wbo,thus appeared be fere the Public about 14 years ago, the fruit of which was a daughter, oho was immediately remov ed into the protection, of her father, by whom she was educated with the most attentive care ; at the same time that she was taught to believe her mother to have been in no respect his inferior, and that that parent was now dead. It was apprehended by the Complaiimut, that the very worst consequences woold arise from undeceiving the child upon the sub ject of the very important distance between the ciwe dilious of the parties, and more especially from a contradiction of the account of the mother's death. To prevent such a disaster, he gave an annual allow ance to the mother, in order to make her of the same opinion, and to induce her to stay in her own country, making it •ue of the conditions that she shoeld Beyer come to this. For several years the understanding was kept up with the necessary scru pulousness, and the young lady was advancing in ac. curepliabinearts. and had now attained such improve. mew as to make the shock et beholding such a me. ther impossible to, be borne. The Prisoner was, however, detegniitied to break in upon the happiness of fattier and child, end accordingly came to town, and created much disturbance at the Complainant's house, upon being told that she should not see her child. The feelings of the father were, the witness said, indescribable upon. the occasion. The Loan lidayoit.—Who can tell what the feelings of the muther must have been ; were they pot of an afflicting kind, too ? The Complainant's friend replied, that tlucb.s►l towance would certainly be made, it it were not the fact that the sole object of the Prisoner teas to oblige the Complainant to give her money. Slut ' had, he said, frequently travelled fron► Ireland, anal made her anxiety to see her daughter the pretence for undertaking the journey, without keying any visible means of accomplishing it. The Complainan►,. in ; fluencyd by attectiun for his daughter, was unrest rict ed in his liberality, and procured short intervals of ease from every present to the wisher. The Lona Maxoe.—Still there appears is this story. something that operates more upon the heart of a pour lrishwoinan than the love of money generally does. The obligation imposed ,by an agreement mode many years ago, although , upon terms so high ly advantageous to the child, and honourable to the father, falls-to nothing in comparison with the force of natural affection. There is too much in this to spring from a sordid principle. • 1, The Complainant's friend begged that all lie cif- t commences of the case shouli be considered, and represented that the case would indeed have been very different if the Complainant had acted as 99 men ont of 100 did, and left the child to beggary. The Loan fdAxott.—lle has unquestionably done his duty ; but if he had done as the 99 do, bow would he be described ? The case is indeed one of deep (14, tress. I feel the force of what has been stated, and must declare that the distress must be very greet, not only to the father, but to the poor creature be fore me. The Irishwoman remained silent during this coop verxatioo ; and when she did oppak, it was in the manner of .the southern inhabitants of her counts', which is pe.culiarly calculated to express strong 'mini' tion, from being accompanied. vri4h the raising up ell the eyes iu performing the duties of mourning ovee l the dead, or of bewailing tbuswwho ase to be oboes* for ever from other caries, "God bless yos, Sir," said she, " let. me have but one look at thechild, and I'll never trouble you or her spin." The friend,of the Complainant, after some cow'''. satin's with him, said it was impassible. He told her she had. no ['shag fee her child; or eke weadd *eller desire 4o ate - her more. ,It let her to know that the child was well sad bpppy, and that all that wealth end tenderness could de Shedd be dome ler hes.. .. • z 7 • • I .+ . j.~
