On Thursday night anThl ar goisitiou was taken in the eemmitfre room at St. Thomas's Hospital, before Mr. Clarke, depety Coroner for the• City of London, to inquire Into the cause of the death of Elisa Neale. a child 7 years ald, who, it appeared in evidence. had been brought fete Vie hospital on Tuesday week, in consequence of being scalded in the absence of her mother, by overturning an herself a tea kettle of boiling water. • Mr. Thos. Thorne, one of the dressers at the Hospital, attended the deceased. She was shockingly scalded on her bask.and both arms a nd le g s. Tbe usual applications is such g ams were made. The third day after she was brought in, as eruption of the measles appeared or. the skin; but ot soon afterwards disappeared. There were also symptoms of inflammation on the lungs, till her death. which happened onluesoday morning. CORONER—Can you account which of those causes occa sioned death? No, Sir, I cannot. Columns—Are you competent to know the cause ?—I am not, unless I was permitted to examine the body. I applied this morning to the steward, for permission to open it, and he told me, Mr. Shelton gave orders it should not be done. CORONIR.-1 can venture to say, that Mr. Shelton only meant in such cases where no doubt existed. Mr. Thorne.—He has nothing to do with the Hospital till he is sent for to hold an inquest, and he cannot know our profession. There are many cases where there are no external marks of violence visible, where internal appear ances can be most astonishingly discovered ; and 110 pupil can give an opinion without he has anatomically examined the body. Coacosten.—No person has a right to open a dead body unless he is authorised by the Coroner and Jury. Mr. Thorne.—Then, qtr, WIIO are to be the judges ? Cokowea.—The friends of the deceased person, to he sure. I speak legally—bat for the good of the profession, every person who dies should be opened. The Jury coincided with the Coroner, and gave their Verdict—Died by the TOPOaIPq. QUERN SQUARF,—(ruis MORNING.) A young man named Georg e Cole was brought before I hlr. %Vulva, the Magistrate, charged by his master, Mr. Phillips, a wholesale brush manufacturer, in Rochester Row, Westminster, with robbing him to a very great extent. Mr. Phillips stated, that his stock had been of iate extensively plundered, and although he had tried all spanner of sehemes to detect the thief, he eeeee succeeded till %Wednesday last. That afternoon, about 1 o'clock, the prisoner went out, and was watched by witness. He follo.red him into Russel Square, when he saw him sit down oo the step of a door, and take out a parcel, the contents of which he divided, and then proceeded to the house of a wan named Bolton, in Glenville Street, Claren don Square, Somers Towo. Witness waited some time for his sowing out, but finding he did not, he went away.— la the evening he made inquiries of Dolton, who admitted purchasing three groat and one dose n of tooth brushes of the prisoner, at a fair price, and that he bad undertaken to. supply biro with 12 groce more on Monday. On in hpeeting the trunk in which he had deposited 5 groce, under lock and key, be found that 3 groce and a dozen were sliming. The pr/ son• r mast have taken the key from the cupboard, unloiked the box, aml after he bad stolen the brushes, lecked it again, and replaced the key. He was remanded for further examination. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY. On Wednesday afternoon the body of a man was found drowned by *nevi the Ltbooriog men in the Golden Lane Bowery, in a large cooler. which stood in a dark corner ef the brewbouse. The body appeared in such a putrid ifs* that It was wome time before it could he identified, partieniarly as it was ndt'known that any person about the establishment was missing. At length it was recognised te be the body of Mr.T.Yeates, a publican who had retired from bovine's, and resided is private lodgings en Saffron Hill, and who had 'been missing for nearly a fortnight, about which time be called at the brewhonse on some loftiness, abd asked one of-the men the wry to the privy; is going to which fris supposed he stumbled and fell into the cooler, as be bas not beets seen since thst day. CORONER'S INQUEST ix TIM Alton CAS E.-(TH IS MORNING.) An inquisition was taken before Mr. Unietiv, Coroner, at the Cherry Tree, Whitecross Street, St. Luke's, on view of the body. The first witness examined was John Ballard, who, blies sworn, deposed, be was an engineer in the Golden Lase Brewery. The brewing was being commenced on Tuesday morning .last, about three o'clock. and he went Wes that there 11119 sofficieot water in the tank ; when he dheevered the deceased standing in it, 'canine against the pipe, which led tan the main; and with assistance he took him out; but be was dead. He thinks the deceased died from having fallen into the taok, which was seven feet -deep, and the edge of it on a level with the door. He drew the water from it on the morning of the preceding Wed. sesday, and little,if any, remained at the bottom, and none, Ishii knowledge, had bees admitted ioto it from that day till the deceased was found ; the deceased was quite a straager to witness. Clarks Prince deposed, be worked in the same brewery, with last uitness. He has seenthe deceased several times; hued to come to the brewery to look for work ; but' Myer got any. The last time he saw him, was on last Wednesday week, about 20 minutes past five o'clock. The diseased was then talking'to him in the store house, and asked him the way to the privy, which witness pointed out is him, sad be went lathe direction of it. In his way to it, be bad to pass close to the tank, and it is witness's 'vision that lie missed his way, and slipped into it. IVit sess's acquaintance with the deceased was very slight ; bat he believed be had no regular employment, and that he lodged at some public house ' in Bloomsbury. There is' ever, reason to believe, th a t h e had been in the tank from die Wednesday until the Tuesday following, when he was • foetid dead. The Coroner and Jury expressed some doubt bow it was risible th a t th e d ecease d cou ld b e f oun d stan di ng on hi s egs in the tank, if be had been killed by falling in ; bot the general conclusion at length drawn was, that he bad struggled to get out after be fell in, but was overpowered, log suffocated by the nauseous vapour contained in the tlik. Verdict—" Accidental Death. " DEATH BY SUFFOCATION. Last night an Inquisition was taken before Mr. Higgs, the Coroner for Westminster, at the Blackmore's Head, in Whit comb Street, Haymarket, on the body of Mr. John Stringer, uho met his death in the undermentioned manner : - __..... The deceased had resided In the above street for SO years, and carried on the tailoring business. Some short time since he was attacked, and dreadfully bitten by a large rat, taken by him in the King's Theatre ; the effects of which confined him to his room till he was reduced to a very weak state. The deceased was rather addicted to drinking ardent spirits; and on **sight preceding his death, on leaving this house, where he bad been spending the evening, he was rather the worse for liquor, and Mr. Pryer, the landlord, accompanied him to his door, as he had done at other times, and having seen him safe to Me destination, left him in the passage. Nothing more was Me or beard of him till 0 o'clock next morning, when he was feud lying dead at the foot of the stairs, with his heels ele /med, and his head bent under his breast.—lt is therefore sup t=dthat in bjs going up stairs to bed, ha must have over himsef and fallen to the bottom. A surgeon proved that there ware no outward injuries that Voildproduce his death, which in all probability was caused *oft sollocatios. The Jury consulted for some moments, and returned a ver tO Vlat effect. . - • TIM .STAMMAN ATTACK ON TES CORK AND DUBLIN COACH. . ANOTHER ACCOUNT. (FROM TIE CORI CONSTITUTION oC MONDAY). On Friday night, about eight o'clock. a desperate attack was made on the coach from Dublin to this city, vie Cashel, which, we are happy to say has not been attended with the loss of life, though the passengers, gaud, and coachman were in imminent danger, and narrowly escaped. The coach was going at it nasal rate, with the Hoa. Captain Browne. and a female, who appeared to be &servant with the coachman and guard, outside.—The eight was very dark. and the coach lamps were burning clear, when they approached within about fits miles of Cashel. in a part of the road cut through a bog; four shots were fired together at them from behind the ditch at one side of the road, which was immediately returned by the guard with one of his pistols; and the coachman, who,was only a short time on the road, put the horses at full speed, but this proved of no effect. for the road was impeded with carts, large stones, Sec., and the coachman, to save them, was olligee to Surd the horses to the side of the ditch, where the coach got fast, and another volley was fired by the villains, which was returned by the guard with his second pistol. The Captain's servant jumped dow■ and opened the door for his master, who made off, as did the guard with the mail ; the coachman and the female in like wanner—the former to obtain assistance. During this time the fire from the attacking party was not repeated; but, on the contrary, they made off, which it is conjectured was occasioned by • supposition on their part, that when the coach drew ap it was with the intention of offering resistance. Captain Browne made through the bog to Grange turnpike, where he detailed the occurrence. and left directions, should the coach arrive there, that he was safe, and repaired to the house of a Mr:Mills, a short distance off. The coachman hastened to Come houses, into which he got with difficulty, and about twelve men were procured, who went back, where the coach was found without being disturbed. The guard, who bid with the snail in the bug, and the servant, who was also con cealed in 'another part, came up, and by their combined efforts removed all the impediments, and proceeded on to Cashel. where they arrived four hours late, and where. on examination, they found two shots had struck near the boot; but the coach being shot-proof, they did not enter. _ _ _ _ . Here the greatest alarm was manifested for Captain Browne's safety, the men at Grange haying omitted to mention his be►ng there, and the coach arrived in this city shoat eleven o'clock, all in the seine suspense. The feeling that was excited on its arrival was most intense, lest any mishap sho.ild have befallen Captain Browne ; . but we are happy to state, that it was set at rest, by his reaching town late on Saturday evening, in a chaise. The object of the villains evidently was plunder, and tbei- disappointment arose from cowardice. The men who gave their assistance did so freely, and their names have been taken down, in order that they may be rewarded. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN. On Monday, Mr. Thonias Flanagan, of Sligo, applied personally to this Court to obtain a conditional order for a criminal information against the Hon. Henry King. He hoped that the Gentlemen of the Bar would not be offended at his making a motion in that Court. In doing so be meant nothing disrespectfnl to the Hon. Gentleman against whom he moved for a conditional order. He had consulted We Speaker of the House of Commons, and the agent who had conducted Mr. Spring Rice'► Petition, and they agreed that be was entitled to twenty-eight days to enter into resognisances. On the 13th day, however, the Speaker of the House of Commons said, that only fourteen days were allowed in England, and that fourteen days more were ex tended to Ireland. The Speaker then ruled a,ainst him, and by-the-bye, he afterwards admitted that be dill not rule very justly. He was aware of the necessity of coining Into Court with clean hands, but lie would be a traitor to his country, to himself, and to the inhabitants of Sligo, who had entrusted their petition to his hands, did he not' make the application to the Court. Here the Court inquired of Mr. Flanagan, what was the nature of his motion, and what were the gruands on which it was made? Mr. Flanagan said, that lie moved the Court for a rule to skew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the Hon. Henry King. His motion Was grounded on an affidavit which he held iii his band. The Chief Justice.—Let your affidavit be read by die officer of the Court. Tke affidavit was then read ; it alledged that during the election at Sligo, on which occasion the lion. Henry King was returned 45 a Member of Parliament, that meet, drink, and entertainment was given to several persons for the purpose of influencing them to vote. for the Hon. Henry King. Mr. Flanagan then stated to the Court, that be held in his hand a letter from a distinguished MeinVer of Parlia ment, which he would read to the Court. The Chief Justice.—We cannot hear the letter read. We will hear any arguments from yourself in support of your motion, but we cannot permit you to read the letter. Mr. Flanagau.—My Lord, I wish to read the letter, because I am anxious to state the reasons why. The Chief Justice.—We cannot hear it. State the grounds on which you proceed. Mr.Flanagatt.-1 proceed, my Lord, upon the abstract prin. aPple-sef the law. My motion is grouuded on the 25th of Geo. ad. gimps. 29 and 19. Mr. Flanagan then read extracts from the Act to which he had referred, in support of his motion. The Court refused the motion in consequence of its not hav ing been made within • reasonable time, and the atSdavit not having stated the cause of delay. Mr. Flanagan intimated to the Court, that he should apply for an order against the Lacer of the Court, for having required him to stamp a bit of paper. RIOT AT MAGIIRRA. Mr. O'Connell moved the Court fora conditional order for a criminal information against James Spencer Knox, grounded on the affidavit of Mr. James M'Master. By the affidavit it appeared, that the brother of Mr. WV:Was ter had been killed in an affray at Maghera, and that a man named David Kennedy had been accused of being one of the murderers. Bills of indictment had been preferred against him, and laid before the Grand Jury; the bills were ignored, and, consequently, he was discharged without trial. Mr. M*Master afterwards learned that some persons declared It was David Kennedy who Bred the shit by which his brother was killed, and several persons were ready to come forward, and give evidence of the fact, and in particular, a Mr. Connery. The affidavit further stated, that M.Master, being afraid that Kennedy would escape, applied to the Rev. Wm. Mulleveia, Mr. Rowley, and Mr. Wright, Magistrates of the County, for a warrant to have him apprehended ; but they, not knowing the difference between ignoring hills of indictment by • (nand Jury, a nd an acquittal on trial, postponed granting the warrant until the Bench of Magistrates was full. Mr. Knox was the resident Magistrate, and on his arrival they agreed to take Mr. Connery's depositions on the 2tith of August. When Mr. Con• 'nary's depositions bad been taken, bir.M.Master informed Mr. Knox that he saw David Kennedy walking publicly in the streets, and that as he understood he was preparing to quit the country, he applied to him to grant a warrant to bare him taken into custody. Mr. Knox refused to give him the warrant; he told him that the Com t was then adjourned, and that he could I not speak to him at all then. On the 18th of September he again applied for a warrant for his apprehension, and was re. fused. Mr. Knox then postponed it until the 18th, on which day he said that be would tell him whether hn would grant the warrant or not. On the 23d, he decided that he would takb bail, but before the 2sd, Kennedy had absconded. It was Mr. Knox who told Mr. M'Master that Kennedy bad absconded. Mr. O'Connell, in concluding, stated that Mr. Knox and the father of Kennedy were frequently seen arm in arm toge ther, and that they were on terms of the closest intimacy at the dm.. Re was happy to made.. he said, that none of the miserable reuses of dlsaentiots which led to the fatal result. were introduced Into the alcarit; but that It was very properly coollned to a simple statement of riots: The Chief Justine.—Take a conditional order to show cause. MIMS COIMS. Mr. Hamilton, moved the Court for a Habeas Corpus. to briag up Miller to know why he was not discharged from the custody of the gaoler of Newest.. He moved the Court on the affidavit of Mr. Henry Richardson, which .Fated that Miller was the master of a vessel called the Jo:deice; that on Saturday last, about the hour of five o'clock, be was arrested by two Peace ()Seers, and brought to a Police Office, where be was detained that night ; that about twelve on the following day, Sunday, be was committed to the custody of the gaoler of Netvgate, on a warrant issued by the Court of Admiralty of England, for Contempt, in having hoisted illegal colours. Mr. Hamilton moved the Court. oo the right of the subject under Habeas Corpus, that the Court should as certain precisely on what grounds be was detained in custody. He felt anxious in makiog this motion, as he ' understood it was intended to send him off by that day's tide.—Order granted. COURT OF CONSCIENCE. Mr. Blackburn" applied to the Court for a prohibition to restrain proceediogs in the Court of Conscience, on the part of William Thomas. He moved, on the affi davit of Mr. Staines, which stared that several summonses bad been issued, dated the 20th of November instant. and directed to William Thomas and others, which were heard on Saturday at the Court of Conscience, before Alder man John Smith Fleming. The summonses were issued at the instance of William Henry Archer, Edmond Nit gent, Cash, Semple, and Long; and were for charges alleged to be payable to the Corporation of the City of DeWitt, under colour of " Anchorage" and " Slippage." The claim of the Corporation to those charges was disputed, and the motion was made for the purpose of trying an important question of right. The Court—Take a conditional order. Mr. Blackburn. inquired if the order of the Court applied to the other cases? The Chief Justice—lf the other cases are under simi lar circumstances, it does. Mr. Blackburne—They are all, my Lord, under similar ci rcu mats nces. The Chief Justice—The Court allows a conditronal order in all the cast s. The King against O'Sullivan. Mr. O'Connell requested permission of the Court to address a few words their Lordships in mitigation of punishment in the case of Timothy O'Sullivan, who was brought up for the judgment of the Coen. The princi pals in the occurrence which led to the proceedings against Mr. O'Sullivan, were Alexander O'Driscoll, of Mount Music, and Alexander O'Driscoll, of Clover Hill. It appeared that no message was actually given, altho' one might have been intended, The second only was tried. It was a ease unattended wits► any circumstances of aggravation. The two Mr. O'Driscolls were since liv ing in the greatest harmony; and it would seem that, like most domestic quarrels, both parties are sore to turn on him who may interfere between them. He had also been served with a bill of costs to the amount of MI. Mr. Foote, the agent in the case, had inflicted a very long affidavit on them, which, he stated, was not by direction of his client; but be admitted that he had his sanction for it. Mr. Goold addressed the Court on the oiler aide. He stated that the case was not attended with any extennatiog circumstances. The prosecutor was a Magistrate and a married man. Mr. O'Sullivan came up to the prosecutor and asked him if he was to deliver a message to him from Mr. O'Driscoll, of Mount Music, what notice would he take of it ? The prosecutor replied, that lie wits not conscious of having given any offence to Mr. O'Driscoll, of Mount Music, and that if be did receive a message, he would take finch steps as the law would allow him. Mr. O'Sullivan then said, that his conduct was unhandsome and ungentle manly, and that it proceeded from wain of spirit; and he afterwards boasted to three persons of the humiliation he had caused him. The Court inquired of Mr. Goold, in what situation of life the defendant was? Mr. Othiaco.—My Lord, lie is a Gentleman; he would be very angry with me if I would say be was not. Judge Jane then pronounced the judgement of the Court on Mr. O'Sullivan. His Lordship said, that his conduct was very reprehensible, particularly as the parties Were connected by ties of blood, and that when Mr. O'Driscoll very properly said, that he would appeal to the laws of his country, he upbraided him in the public streets with a want of spirit, and had not offered any atonement for his misconduct. The judgment of the Court was, that he should pay a fine to the King of fifty pounds, and that he should he imprisoned one month in the County of Cork, anilthe further imprisoned until the fine should be paid. JUDGMENT OF TIIE COURT IN BARON VON lIOFF MAN'S CASE. The Cruse JUSTICI this day proceeded to give judgment in this cause—he stated, that this was an application for a writ of prohibition, to be directed to the Commis.iones s of the Insolvent Court, to restrain them from adjudii acing in this case, on the ground of the debt having arisen within, a foreign jurisdiction, the creditor and debtor being fo reigners. No sufficient ground, said his Lordship, was laid for such an application. The case ex-parte King in 2d Barnewrll and Alderson, cited in support of the applica tion, did not apply ; that was a case where the Court fetus ed to grant a mandamus to discharge a mirried woman and there the case was quite different, for that was an ap plication for a mandamus which does not proceed upon the ground of want of jurisdiction. In this case we are desired to assume that it is impossible for a foreigner to comply with the requisites of the Insolvent Act; but without being satisfied why, or how we are to ar rive at such a conclusion, a mere difficulty in the way of Com pliance is not sufficient: it must be an impossibility. The case referred to involves this dilemma, that there the Court was called upon to grant a mandamus, which supposes a sufficient jurisdiction, although there existed an impossibility to comply with the requisites of the Act, in as much as a married woman could not assign her property or execute the necessary bond ; and that every ease becomes an authority against a prohibition in the present instance. It is impossible to make a distinction between a native and an alien insolvent. There may occur eases where the property of the party cannot be assigned, as in the case of an half-pay officer, which cannot he assigned, at least has never yet been assigned. The Sth section of the Act l and 2 Geo. 4, c. 39, says, in the most comprehensive terms, Every person whatever in any part of Ireland." There is no exception to be found to the prejulice of aliens, and it is only by express exception or from the necessity of e suss, (neither of which is here shown,) that a foreigner can be excluded ; therefore the case must be allowed, and i■ our opinion with costs. Mr. Justice BURTON observed, dirt a case had been cited froin Jacob and Walker, which was an application for a writ of ne mat regno. That law was, however, rtiisnn• derstood the parties were butl► foreigners, residing in Russia; and that sass decided, that were a debt was con tracted abroad, for which the party could not be arrested there, he was not liable to be arrested here. And in that ease, although the writ of ne exeat regno was at first granted, it was afterwards discharged on that ground. Another argument has been strongly relied on—namely, that the material provisions of the Insolvent Art are in compatible with aliens ; and in proof of it, the Bankrupt Law was relied on, as the Bank - iiiprAcr mentions aliens, natural born subjects and denizens ; but that aliens are not mentioned in the Insolvent Act. However, upon looking into the Bankrupt Act•, it will be seen that the Act of Elizabeth, which was the first Act, only mentioning denizens and natural born sabjects; afterwards the Act of James; and the laNt Act extended to all persons, " sh-n•, &c. ;" so that it w;ll be found the provisions of thst Art, and of the Inscolrrnt Act, are perfectly analogous—in. - I that the present case comes precisely w;thin the words of the Act, as stated by my Lord Chief Justice, which a►e. "all persons in any part of Ireland." The last Act, 3 (leo. IV. Ores a power to the Judge of the Insolvent Court to dismiss the petition. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

Old tiethiem, Ilishopagate street, before Thom** 4hetton, Esq. upon the body of Thomas Carrell. of No. 12, Baker's buildings, Bishop gate street, who met his death in a boxing match, on Sunday, Oct. 26, near the Rosemary Branch, Islington. It appeared that some previous dispute had existed between the two young oleo, and they and their woman:role agreed to settle it by a pugilistic combat for a sovereign enc'i, the melancholy result of which terminated in the death of ono, and the future tranquillity of mind of the other for ever die , turbed. The first a itnevs called was Benjamin Sarson. a youth about 17 years, who stated that he resides at IS, Grab street; is a butcher, and lives with his brother; the deceased cniir ,i upon him on Sunday morning, the26th of October lest, about seven o'clock, and invited him to go and see a fight between him and John Turner; he went with him, and was accompa nied by Geo. Owens and Joseph Birch; when they arrived on the ground the money was deposited in the hands of o.owene. The deceased was seconded by Ed. Jones and another person whom lie did not know. Turner was seconded by John Smith and a briekinaker, whose name he could not tell.
