itessio against the Porte. The inhabitants of the - 7 lonian Islands, we are sorry to perceive, collect from this supposition (nether pretences to strengthen their growing dislike to the British Government. It is to be lamented that never since our acqui.i tion of those Islands has ■ny attempt been made to conciliate the affection. of the people. Our rule has been unremittingly austere, and a person has been continued in the government of the blinds, whom manners are peculisrly repulsive and un popular, and who is notoriously disliked by all claws of lonians. Should the Greeks on the Continent seceeed eventually, by any means, in obtaining their independence of the Porte, Eng land cannot hope to retain possession much longer of the lonian Islands, unless means be adopted to conciliate the good wishes of the people, and to convince them that a " free constitution," with the name of which they have long been amused, is in reality somethiug distinct from a pure despotism. We eanoot refrain from expressing our surp►ise at the objections urged by some of the Jurors form ing the inquest upon the body of RICHARD HONEY, to the attendance of Mr. ADoLpHus as Counsel ow the part of the first regiment of life guards. These objections are the more remarkable, as no di4cpHy ~ .as started by these sticklers for some setresejl . presularity and certain imaginary rights N orm Mr. WAITHMAN appeared with *nob St waistline., as an advocate on the part of der relatives Or the deceased, or even when Mr. HINSON presented himself on behalf of the life guards, and assisted the Jury in the examina tion and cross-examination of witnesses. Mr. Anotwnus only supersedes Mr. Henson; and if his long experience at the bar, his habits of business, his extensive learning, and excellent understanding, give Mr. ADOLPHUS many ad vantages in assisting the Jury to elucidate the trgtb, we can see no reason why on that ac count objections should be particularly started to prevent his attendance upon the inquest. It was urged by some of the Jurors that in an investiga tion of this nature there are no parties, and that, therefore, no professional men ought to be ad mitted for the avowed purpose of representing par- Sicular interests. This observation may be very correct in the abstract, and very probably as true ia its application to the greater number of inqui vie, which we see instituted every week into the causes that lead to the deaths of individuals. But when the circumstances of any particular case pre sent themselves in such a manner to our sober view. MI to shew at once an exception to a gene►al rule, why should we interrupt the exercise of our or- dinery understanding, and wrap ourselves within the deep- folds of any abstract proposition? Is there • man in the empire, who. being assariof the present inquiry, does ,not feel perfectly satisfied that it involves no other question than whether the troops employed at Cumberland-gate were justified 'in firing upon the people or not ? .Can it be be lievtd that this question is not present to the minds of the Jurors, and this question only ? And such being the.case, is it not miserable quibbling to say chat the life guards are not more interested in the pending inquiry than any other body of men in the empire ? We did not conceive that any doubt was now en tertained by any intelligent person respecting the tight of a B mister to appear professionally, if pro- lira:tonally retained, in any Court in the empire. At all events, the mower of questioning such a right upon the part of the profession generally, if question able at all, cannot, as we are advised, rest with a Jury. The Judge of the Court, whoever lee may be, or whatever his jurisdiction, can alone inquire irto this circumstance, or determine upon its pro- !nifty. A Jury, sitting with a Coroner, possesses no higher right to regulate or control the practice of the Court than is tujoyed by any common Juiy sitting is any other Court in England ; and who would not laugh at a Juryman sitting at the Old Bailey if he were upon some occasion to address a Banister, and demand by what authority be ■ppear ed that Court, and from whom he received his instruction.? The presiding Judge would quickly tell the inquisitive gentleman that the practice of the Coed rested in the breast of the Judge a10ne.... that Ite•lrmild take care to prevent irregularity, and that with soch motels the Jury bud no possible concern. The Coroner presiding at the inquiry into the circumstances that led to the drink of Hong's' does not seem to be aware of his ereletire might to regulate all matter. of practice in his Court, ~r he woad rii t have permitted any of the Jurors to lute h.terfered an very irregularly in points over %hick a jut) has oo legal control.

After the Coronation • nnm bet of people very inconsideretely advanced froth the back of the pit, and stood in front on the plat form thrown across , for the procession. This proved so complete an impediment to the view of those be hind, that a stout opposition was set up, which fur it considerable time prevented the farce from 'queer-d -ing. The swatter was compromised at last by the de parture of most of the ohtrosive pa►ties, the rest con senting to sit down on the boards. The farce was p►eart►ted for the first time : the title of it was 5001. The plot is nearly se b►ief as the tit le :—AJY-. Amply: being at the house of his uncle, Hr.

We yesteiday inserted an article from the Bristol Mirror, wader the shove head —The natural history of this snail is accurately given in kliiiitague'a Testueea Britannic°. Its name is Fclir Virgata, or Z owed Meet' Shell. It may be considered," he says, ‘‘ as a local specie., hut is found in prodigious abundance iu some 'gaudy or barren stony situa tions, must plentifully near the coast, especially about Whit sand Day, Cornwall, and in the smith of Devonshire, where it is believed they contribute nut a little to fatten sheep, the ground being covered with them." This snail oceans also abundantly in the neighbourhood of Bristol, and county of So merset. On approaching heat they are observed to leave their biding place near the roots of grass, crawling upon the leaves end plants rear it, sod thus becoming visible to the superAcial observer. From this remark of Montague, and the well-known fret that 11111613 furnish much nourishing matter, it would he perhaps best for the farmer belonging to the field et Tuck- Melon to torn into it • flock of sheep, which would soon crush the snails is eating them with the grass, and they would doubtlere improve thereby. In this phenomenon, the philosophic mind will easily trace the provision of na ture to render these snails (faltered near the roots of the sue culeat grass) a pasture, when parched by the rays of the sun, of a must nourishing nature to herbaceous animals. Idle reports are in circulation of their having fallen from the at mosphere rod one lady goes so frr •s to say, that in walk lug that way her umbrella was covered with them!

In a short tone afterwards they saw his clothes us the bank, and applied at the recelvingAiouse fur i boat to li search fur the body in the water,.

This was an action which excited considerable interest, end drew together all the medical men in the neighbourhood of Gloucester. The Plaintiff. surgeon in Tewkesbury, of highly respectable character and abilities, was employed in the yrai 1820, to attend it child, three years and a half old, niece of the Defendant, who had fallen info a tub of boiling wort, and received so much injury that she afterwards died. The Defendant, Mr. Mattis., questioned the treatment of the child, and had used words piejuilicial to the character of the•Pleintiff, for which this action was brought ; not with is vie* to elitatn excessive or vindictive damages, but to reinstate the Plaintiff in his professional character its the minds of his friends and the prufesaion gene rally. After the Plaintiff's case was opened by Mr. JIRVIS and Mr. CAMPBELL, they proceeded to examine the witnesses, amongst whom Were Mr. Abernethy. and other surgeons of eminence, who highly approved the Plaintiff's treatment of the child, and fully justified his professional capacity. This brought on a compromise on the part of the Lrarired Counsel on both 'sides; and it was agreed. that, as the Plaintiff did nut go for damage., but brought the Betion to re-establish his character, a juror should be withdrawn, and that the Counsel for the Defendant should apoloigise for his client. and signify his client's cosiyittiou that he bad been mistaken in his opinion, and did not intend to injure the Plaintiff' in his professional reputation ; dad wheels same accordingly dime in - a , Court.
