The t'../.etUano, in publishing the proceedings of the COngress at Bogota. makes the following reinarke : The relive Or tile LCgmlatibe proceedings which have been porm.::e.! to go Melt to the nation, constrain us to arrive at one of the following conclusions--either that much interesting matter has been debated in secret, or that the Session hat been trifird away in .irtates respecting Internal regulations, snuff-boxes, tonna of eiiipartte and address. uniforms, &c. It vas natural to have anticipated. in our peculiar circuit). sea- !, a most busy and interesting Session. iVe were prepared to erect some important improvements in the judicial system, the Seance and post-office depeninents, our army and nary stab. liehnunts. and some honest opinions respecting the foreign War we are wayirg at the expense of sot much population anti treasure, with various other uktrets connected with our very existence. We do rot say that ibis has not been dare. but the result therm been flied* public„ and therefore we have much of which to complain, since it were RS easy to publish a deoate on the revenue, as un a rib band or a costume. Even alien graver matters have been in tro lueed, the one has generally been taken from the executive; or an other words, unbounded confidence has been plated by Con go,. in that branch of the administration, of which it ought to be jealous. The Co gene must put forth its strength, and assert its majesty ware loftily, ere it can become serviceable to the people. We know that many obstacles to this end preseit themselves—that eon-mimeo eniploynter.ts, Government patronage and influence, dins" themselves, at the present moment, throughout all branches of the state—and this, as a matter of necessity, without bad motives, although with incalculable bad COTISCIIIICISCS. But, until this ne cessity shall erase until the rommercis/, agricultural, anti weal hr, portion of the community. sit in Congress, and our flepreseita tires be thus as indent ndeo in property and person. as we beli.vc them to be in principle—like superior to hope or icar--we shall web in rain, that M.ll/ and uncompromiaing spirit, so irxeparahle from a Reprearniative 6.ivistument, and the Inviolability of our provides and persons. 'fire o Eyoto of July 9. says, there are two rallies in the Chamber 44 Representatives. who, unfortunately for tht maelv. a, we distinguished by the names of "The Mountain" and " The Valley. The mountain party contend that in a republican form of government the nation should be both reli : tiutoily and politically intolerant, and cetera corporations and properties should enjoy es. desire privileges; and 'bat their spiritual dependence on the Roman See should consist in oils of submiweion, which. the Edics remarks, 'Quid be elegra ling to the dignity of the people. The pecult.c nature among the monntrin party is a thorough union ittlllett) its members, and that, acting with great spirit together, worn attacked, they make a resistance that at times causes their enemy to :rouble. The valley party is not thins united, an us irtlitfereat to each other's opinions; and thus, for want of being imitated by one spirit or eisetrieal fire, they are often absent during nu eroting questions, or so much divided, or so fearful of die mountain party, that they abandon the held of battle before :he q/A111.112 is tiara, and are tints often dcleated.

I From the Troy &Wired. Oct. 5.1 The following account of the re-capture of the brig Fre derick, of Stoning:on, from the pirates of the Pacific, ex hibits one of the most brilliant feats we ever heard of. 'We undenttand that when the Freileriek arrived at Callao, the owners were so mue:l pleased with the gallant conduct of Captain Burrows, that they immediately presented him with a sum of SAM dollars. The Frederica, Captain A. It. Burrows, was captured on the 26th December, near the port of (lilacs, where she was bound with a cargo of dry pads. Captain IL relates the circumstance as follows :—At to r. u. the Frederick was fired into by an armed brig, and ordered on board with my papers. After getting on hoard and being closely examined Inspecting my vessel and cargo, they took possession of my vessel and transit rred the crew to the privateer. During the night they stood to the southward fur Mouleando, where they intended discharging my cargo ; but the next morn ing, when nearly abreast of the port, saw it ship standing in, which they took for a man of war, when the privateer and brig hauled off from the shore. The Captain of the privateer then told me that he should send my brig to the island of Chiloe, anti if I chose to go in leer, and site ar rived safe, that after discharging my cargo, he would give me up my vessel. Thinking there might be some chance of recovering leer, and knowing that if I left her I should not get leer again, I chose to remain by her, and after much persuasion I prevailed on him to let me take my son with ate—but lee would not consent to my taking any wore of my crew. After plundering my vessel of about 12,040 dollars' worth of dry goods, rice, rigging, and such other articles as they were then in want of, they put a prize master and nine men on board, and ordered us to make sail for the island of Chiloe. Soon af ter leaving the privateer, 1 learned that her name was Kin tanoslia, Capt. Mattielena, from the island of Chiloe,and that they had previously taken several English and Patriotic vessels, some of which tWy lead burnt, anti sent the others to Chiloe, and that she had a large amount of money on board taken from them. I also learned that Capt. Mattalena had formerly been an officer ler licnevides, and hail headed a gang in taking the American brig Ilersilia, at the island of St. Mary's. From this inforrnatitro, and his plundering my vessel, I had no reason to expect getting her again, finless I took her by force, which I determined to do whenever a favourable opportunity should otE.r. I then loaded my pistols, also those of the mate which I had taken car, to stow away on my first arrival on board, from the pri vateer. I then informed my son of my intention, and or dered him to meld himself en readiness. After bring in possession of the captors seven days, we succeeded in re taking her, drove the Spaniards below in the middle of the clay. and then ordered therm on deck one at a time, and tied their hands behind them, as I had no irons on board to secure them with. I then shaped my course for Callao.— The next day I put seven of the prisoners in a whale boat, with provisions and water to last them to the land— the other three I took with me to Callao, where I arrived two clays afterwards, anti delivered the balance of my cargo to the former owners. Two days after my arrival, the pri vateer appeared off the harbour of C.ellao, and the United States at heater, Dolphin, 'Captain Conner, and the British frigate Tartar, Captain Brown, nestle sail in pursuit of leer, but night coining on, she made her escape. A short time after that, the crew of a French ship arrived in their boats, leaving been captured a little to the leeward by the privateer, who lead taken from the ship sO,OOO dollars, manned and ordered her fur Chiloe. on the 24th of May, a few days 1 before the Frsnkiin left 'Valparaiso, the Kentanealis ar rived there, prize to a French scoop of war, who had cap tonal leer off Quilca. She had been at Chiloe, and had landed her money, and was then on Ler second cruise. NURIATIC ACID IN THE STOMACH. The Annuls if Nibsuphy ontain a valuable notice from Mr toil svs on the chemical nature of the acid found in the human stomach. The distressing disorder of the digestive functions, termed alnspepfia, has been commonly ascribed to the prevalence of acetone acid in the stomach ; but for the purpose of determining the point, and conse quently for administering such antidotes as the improved state of medical science might suggest, Or. Prout last year made sonic experiments on the acid ejected from the stomach, and found it to he the muriatic acid, and not the acetone. Mr. CHILDREN says:—" An acquaintance of mine, who occasionally suffers severely from dyspepsia, and was aoniewhat sceptical as to Dr. Prout's conclusions, lately requested me to examine the fluid ejected from his stomach during a violent dyspeptic paroxysm the day before, t .th the view of ascertaining the nature of the free acid it contained. The fluid which had been thrown from the stomae:s in the morning fasting, when filtered, was perfectly tunisparent and nearly colourless : it gave a de cided red tint to litmus paper. 1 distilled about six ounces of it almost to dryness, at a gentle heat, receiving the pro duct in three separate equal portions. One-half of each portion was treated with nitrate of silver. The first had no cad on litmus paper, and scarcely gave the slightest cloud with the test. The second became slightly clouded by the test. but was equally without any action on the blue paper. The third pertiou rcohloicol the paper strongly, and produced an abundant dense cloud, when I dropped into it the nitrate of silver, and a pretty copious precipitate collected at the bottom of the tube. The remaining half of the third portion was evaporated by a gentle heat to about half a fluid drachm. The precipitate which a drop of it placed on a slip of glass, occasioned with a drop of nitrate of silver, was insoluble in nitric acid, and perfectly soluble in ammonia; another drop, similarly treated with tnuriate of barytes, gave no precipitate nor cloud. The re mainder was neutralized with pure ammonia, farther evapo rated, and poured on a slip of glass, when it afibnled a mul titude of well-defined crystals of inuriate of ammonia. The presence of free muriatic acid in the ejected fluid from the stomach, anti consequently Dr. f'ront's conclusions, scent thus to Le fully confirmed by the preceding experiments." hence we have the means pointed out of greatly miti gating, if tot actually removing, the distressing complaints of this class by the meaty-dicing. agenry o f Ude alkalies. A dreadful occuireneettok place Yesterday morning, shout eleven o'clock, ira consequence of a trifling dispute betwetn two own in the employment of Mr. Darby, builder, in the Five Fields, Chelsea; one a stone-sawyer, of the name of John Bishop, and the other an Irishman. a bricklayer's labourer. The contention arose as to who should he tint supplied with water from the pump. Bishop', succeeded in placing his pail, and, was iu the act of pumping, with his hack turned to his opponent, who, I taking an assasin-like advantage of his position, seized a hoc, with which they mix mortar, and gave him a tremendous blow on his head. It penetrated through his hat, and inflicted a dreadful wound on the top of the head. The poor man, who is only about Sk2 years of age, was instantly conveyed to the Westminster Inthmary, in a very precarious state. Through the anxiety that pre vsileal to render assistance to the poor sufferer the perpe trator of this horrid deed made his escape. At a late hour we made inquirit s, and understood that his life was in the most imminent danger. Wednesday evening, as Mr. John Ilellard, of South iVraxhall, was returni.% from Atworth, where he had been to collect poor-rates, he was knocked down near the Lodge of Tim. Hale, Egg. Conies, about half-past six o'clock, and moat cruelly beaten by two ruffians, who, after robbing him of 601. left him lying in the road in- sensible of his loss ; so:ne time afterwards he was found anal taken home. Nis.. Pearce, surgeon of Bradford, was ittamet!iately sent for, and soon after arrived with his as. sistant. After they had rendered the necessary aid to their patient, they called on a neighbouring gentleman, leaving their horses in charge of a man, who was instructed to walk them up and down on the opposite road ; the man trans ferral the charge to two boys, who mounted the horses, which set off at full speed. One of the boys was thrown without sustaining much injury, but the other had his foot caught by the stirrup anal was kicked to death ; the horse was found much injured on a Leap of stones by the side of a drain which had been left open, across WI ite hill, Bradford, without any light or protection. A leg of the unfort::nate child was hanging in the stirrup leather.— lief h Journal.

THE BRITISH PRESS. SALE OF ANTIQUEs. On the lOh inst. there was a curious rale at Kirkinuir hill, of old efhrts belonging to a person lately &tallied then•. Ile was the last survivor of a family that had re sided at Draffin for upwards of three humlred years ; and the knowledge that there would be sold the various cos tumes chat had been in fashion among our forefathers for many getteratimis back, and bail Lein handed down from father to son, drew together an immerse crowd. Most of the articles, from their stit'qiiity, were bought at high prices. There was a silver watch, made 160 years ago, which went well, and indicated the day of the month as well as an eight-day clock. Three presses, little better than lumber, which bad then in use for 170 years, brought more than any new presses would have done. There were forty of the oldest-fashionial vests to be found in Scotland, and hail any person con iected with the stage been present, they would have proved a valuable acquisition, and been a genuine representation of the costume of the last two cen turies, instead of the ationa of the present day. There was one vest, with elegant buttons, of Charles the Second's reign, the lappets of which hung over the thighs of the breeches, and it was single-breasted. The various patterns and shapes of those days were a most interesting sight, and carried the mind hack to former times. Some vests and coats had buttons on them with the inscription, " Duke of Cumberland, born 1721," and the bust of the Duke. About 500 yards of hart. and linen went off at Its ail. a yard, being's& half above value. There were eight nibles odd , which were very old, and there was much corn petition for them. A number of old catechisms, which hail accumulated in the faintly, were eager)] purchased by the curious. There were a number of reeds and other ar ticles connected with weaving, sonic of them 150 years old, and -quite different from those at present in use. there was a large lot of cotton gowns of different figures and co lours. There were two very rich silk brown and black gowns, of as particular make, and well worthy the attention of the 'milliners of the present day, as it corroborated the saving, that there was nothing new under the sun, and showed that the prom at fashions were wholly derived from our forefathers. There was a bottle of very old Jamaica rum found hid among the old apparel, which wrs handed, like a scent-bottle, round the company. There was a num ber of - ancient cravats, made with fringes at the end, and squares fur worecn's calls, with lace round them, put to the figure of the ladle.' dresses of the present day. There were GY caps, which gave a fine idea of the head-dresses 150 and too years ago. There was a vast quantity of stockings of curious forms. There was a singular woollen petticoat, fringed round the bottotn with red, which would answer well for the Gentle SlierAerd. The family seat at the door was a solid piece of cannel coal, and had been there longer than any one reeoltskted. A variety of other old articles were disposed of at high prices. Indeed, any person could have been furnished with all the different modes of fashi9n for two centuries back. The sale lasted two days.—Gl'rrgo;e JoarnaL TO THE EDITOR OF TX'• BRITISH PRESS.

Anxious to avoid exposure. lie sent and borrowed a 2W. note, which he gave to the officers, desiring them to take the amount.

In the evening lit mentioned the circumstance to a friend, %hewing the bill, who immediately pointed out several overcharges, amount. ing to 21. 11rs., tar which he advised his summoning the officers, which he threuened to do; but rather than have their delinquency publicly exposed, they not tefunded the overcharge but the gratuity also.

Poretariosi or GREECF.-The actual population of Greece, according to the most exact calculations, and Lak in, a middle estimate between the different valuations which have been made, amount to four millions. Half lise on terra firma ; a million in the Moto aud Negropout ; and a milli en in the isles. This population, it is true, is composed c: Greeks, Turks, Albanians, Jews, and Franks; hut it may be with certainty calculated that the true Creeks compose three-quarters of it ; and in adding to them those who live in Asia, European Turkey, Russia, and Germany, the t':tal population of the Creeks may still, without exaggeration, be rated at four millions. The po pulation of ancient Greece was not more numerous. A correipondent writes—" A duel was fought yesterday at Gravesend by two gentlemen, a Mr. C. L. and Nlr. J. N., two members of the law. Mr. N. received his an tagonist's hall in the shoulder. The cause of dispute was an insult offered to a lady." The ale brewers in London yesterday morning sent cir cular letters to thci: customers, that from the high price of malt and hops, they are under the painful necessity of raising the ale los. per barrel. ARDROA TM—Three English travellers, last Sunday forenoon, took a walk to view the picturesque scenery on the sea-coast to the eastward of this place. Having sauntered along the foot of the precipices, unconscious of the progress of the tide, they were completely inclosed by the sea before they were aware. To scale the steep eraggs were utterly im practicable; and to commit themselves to the waves was certain destruction. No alternative therefore remaiued but to wait patiently till tile waters recetled. At flood-time, their standing ground was limited to a very few feet ; and, had the sea been in any degree boisterous, in all likelihood they would have been swept away. Fortunately they escaped, after enduring only a six hours' imprisonment, and being detained a little from their comfortable viands in Fair weather's.—Culedon ion Mercury.

He did not intend to have voted upon that occasion, and had retired to Cheshire, for the purpose of avoiding the urgent solicitations consequent upon au arduous contest. His resolution, however, was destined to be shaken. A young lady who had strongly imbibed the patriotic ardour of the times, followed Preston to his retreat, and solicited his vote for the independent interest. Her et-.treaties failing to arouse his patriotism she at length actually went down on her knees. To with stand such a suppliant in Such a cause was not in his nature.

REPORT& Mawalow-NowtE.—A gentleman _ waled yesterday upon the Lord Mayor, far the purpose of communicating to his Lordship the thanks of the widows and orphans of the Poyais emigrants, and of several of the men •ha luckily survived the celebrated ad venture, for :he benevolent interest lie took in their behalf, and for having forwarded the subarription for their relief. They had all rettuzsed to Scotland, and been most kindly received there, and the calamity with a hie') they hail been visited in the land of hornirs, were hi some d-gree alleviated in their consequences by the uhiver. sal sympathy that prevailed. Their thanks, too, were given to Mr. Prince. and the other tradtsmen in the City whose exertions had formed the groundwork of the public contributions for their service. Above all, they felt indebted to the public press fur the vigorous manner in which it arrested the scheme !n its infancy, and finally effected its destruction. The roma' unican t stated, that be: wean one and two hundred persons bail fallen a 'sacrifice to the delusion, and so widely had the nage for colonizing. neon the representation of those who were interested, spread, that multitudes were prepar. ing to resign thin:naves to the same hazard in the hope of wealth and of every cute; sort of piviaricrity. This danger the press had averted, by pit 'thing the true condition of the " Land of Pro mise," the objcid,.,ol the speculaturs, and the. horrible conse quences of an implicit reliance in the description given by the Pityais authorities; and. !mbers were saved from misery, des pair, and death, which rntgned with unlimited power in the burn ing sands and pestilential swamps of the Mosouiri shore. The Loner Mayon expressed himself highly gratified at the in telligence which he had received, and observed, thin the " Poyais ease" was a striking instance of the great importance of the practice of !enacting the transactions of Courts like that in which he then presided. His Lordship stated, that be was much Per plexed in what manner to dispose of an orphan of one of the emigrants: she bail been put on shore in a eniserable condition, to which she had been reduced at Poyais. Part of the subserip don had been appfled to her maintenauce, but all the ma -ley was now exhausted. The poor child was pot, lie observed, admissible into the Foundling Hospital, as the Governors said tier case was Dot comprehended in the rules of the establishment. His lsodship, after gme consultation with the Chief Clerk, de termined to apply . to the Female Orphan Asyl um . a l t h oug h ad mission into that institution was a matter of great difficulty, there being aa much canvassing exquisite as for a seat in Parliament. In a ease of this nature, however, he trusted those who had the power would aid in procuring; admission for so great an object. One of the orphans has been adopted by a lady of great respec tability, and tan others have been ever since humanely taken care of by Mr. Joseph Prince, of Ilasingliall.street ; a filth has been taken into a Scorch family. Front information received from Honduras, it appears that a great number of the unfortunate emigrants remain at Belize, where they b obtained a livelihood aa menial servants and labourers. The two brothers, Edward and Jeans Hanimffrid, who were charged on suspicion of having been concerned in stealing the par cel. containing 2.9001. in batik notes, froni the person of the porter to 3lesars. Snow and Co. underwent a final examination. A gentleman, who attended on behalf of the prosecnors„ stated, that although circumstances of strong suspicion had come to three knowledge respecting the prisoners, yet they could not now adduce evidence sufficient to warrant a further postponement of the ease, there being nu proof, with the exception of that which went to state that they were seen running from the spot at the time the robbtry was committed. The Loin Mayon discharged the pflsoners, and gave them a forcible admunioon. They owed the imprisonment they had sus. tained, if they were innocent, to their characters as thieves ; and so long as they persisted in the course that had been the object of their choice, they would be subject to similar inconveniences. His Lordship remarked, that this cast funned another i-stance, if other instances were wanting, of the necessity of the publication of police reports. Ilvre an immense robbery lE4S committed, and the ' police were unable to obtain any evidence that could lead to the • detection of the offenders, when, in consequence of the publicity given to the proceedings, a witness came forward, and ;owe evidence which might have been of the unnint importance, and have led to the conviction of the offenders, had the person robbed been able to Identify them. Ills Lorship observed further, that in the course of his experience as a Chief Magistrate, he had daily witnessed instances of the utility and high importance of the pnrctice to the police of a great metropolis, and the Rowing effect it produced when pmperly directed. Ile was convinced that the publication of those proceeding did not prejudice the minds of Jurymen. In the whole course of his experience, he had never witnessed is case in which a Jury had given an improper venlict, in consequence of a ;irejudice excited against the prisoner by the statement of the initiatory pro. readings against hint. The feeling was invariably the other way. Jurors were men of at least common sense, and they were no more influenced by such statements, than the mind of a Judge was in fluenced by the opening statement of a prosecuting l'ounsel. un confirmed by evidence. it would be found, upon consulting those who were experienced in the performance of Magisterial duties, that it was of great utility that these Courts 'should, as a general i rule, be open to the public, fur it frequently occurred that persons entered an office from an interest in the issue of a case, who proved in the course of the inquiry to be in the possession of most material farts. The publication of what passed often aided the inquiry in the highest degree, in brin r ring forward all existing evidence, either with respect to the innocence or guilt of a prisoner. It was also of the highest importance in another point of view to the tradesmen of the inetropoliv. by checking the career of fraud, by exposineohe constantly varying devices of swindlers, in a more speedy and elfee. tall manner, than any other mode of communication could accomp lish. The shopkeepers are thus put upon their guard against every description of imposition. 1. he fear of immediate exposure was more terrible and effective in thousands of cases, than the fear of the laws, and restrained many daring spirits whom nothing else could keep within bounds. Undoubtedly flue business of a Magistrate would Ire greatly jurymen' if this restraint were di. minashed. Without confriun.ling the abuse with the great use of the practice, he must admit that its virtues were conspicuous in its elect in securing the pure ailiiiini•Jnition of public justice by plac. ing the proceedings of the Magistrate, as well as of ail the parties, under public inspection.

William Earl. stood Indicted for wilful and corrupt per - tizt swearing a false affidavit in the Vlcar-lhneral's Commons, on the huh of August, for the p u rp ose o f oittainiag license of marriage with Johanna Cooper, spinster, aged sixtet yi. ra This case is of a docription similar to that which occupied the Court until a late hour last night, therefore a new Jury was swore to try the present issue. Some delay took place, owing to the nnn-ntrival of the defendant. who, Mr. A i.t.uir said, was extremely ill, and was ta'.:eo out of his bed to come. Meagre. BRODERICK and Anot.rtms appeared foe the pro mention, and Me. ALLEY and .lir. PatxDraoasT for the de fence. Mr. Anot.rssus (divested of his robes) stated the am to the Jury. The attention of the Jury would be called to the second an, third counts is the indictment. It was a charge of abduction when two persons had leagued together to arry sway two young lador, and marry them by recourse to false nflidavits, the periory ccn. finned in which would he made apparent. The proof of perjury is this:—The defendant proceeded to Doctors' Cottimeme, and there swore that he bad rei..ded fifteen days In the paPsh of St. Andrew. Holborn. and thereupon obtained a license, and clandestiarl. married the lady, who was an eviden, r to the case which was trusi Lvit night. There was not only perjury in the first instance, but .t was also perjury of the worst kind—in the sanctuary. and at the altar of God. Ile (31r. :Idol& us) should regret it he should agar: hear blame or censure agaiest those who Iced promoted this prev— ention. Why should the family who had been robbed of two its interesting member. he held up to the finger of scorn t The of - 'Noy should rest on him who, cot influenced by 44 hurouraVu passion, but by sonlici motives, deprived that Ml4llll of her chil dren, whose agony of mind was extreme, and whose perseverance in brirg'ng the offenders toyustice could not be too much commended.

It set forth that he had lived Andrew's, Holborn, fifteen days, and that the parties were 21 years of age.) George Hicks, sexton of St. Andrew, Holborn, was present at the marriage of the young man at the bar, and signed the resister. book as follows :—" Airm.

Mr. ALLTT addressed the Court for the defendant. Ile ter sidereal that his Learned Friend had conducted this ease with gnat harshness and injustice toward the defendant. Independent of the subject matter of the indictment, his friend had represented et: defendant as a man in embarrassed circumstances, and that he lad taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act; but he had not proved des statement in evidence. The issue the Jury had to try was not— had the defendant committed an act of bankruptcy—but het!. ce he hail committed the offence of perjury? The other side Itst confined themselves to two out of the five counts contained in ffs indictment ; therefore, of course, he was rot called upon to rite the other three, nor need the Jury take them into their considers. tun. The Learned lientleman contended that he had been cit. I fairly dealt with, inasmuch as the Counsel for the prosecution is one Instance called one of the young women, and had neglet-el to do it In the other. The Sexton of S. Andrew's had given his evidence in an equivocal manner, and acted in a d.f. fertile way to what a candid r.tr.ess ought to do. It by no means appeared, nor was it pretended, that force bad been used to get the young woman from her parental rouf--she was young, it was true, yet she was an adult. She was joyous at the wedding. She never said, " 1 will not take this man to he my wedded !nhand." On the contrary,she signed the register book. and thereby ratified its solemnization, as tar as she was able. 1: hail not been proved that the defendant ha I been actuated by out did anonym, for it was not proved that he was aware the damsel was elititiol to property, or that he knew of her minority. It !^a been shown, that during the 15 days before the affidavit was made. he was in the country. Now, supq• sing the defendant hal taken lodgings in London, and absented himself from it pan of the time, might he not morally consider himself entitled to swear that that was his residence? The Learned Gentleman concluded his address, doubting not but those to whom be consignsat the case would act justly.

She exhibited no extraordinary marks of dejectioo during the short period of her stay in the house. On the same night, about a quarter after ten o'clock, Mrs. Tyrer sent witness down to the kitchen, and observed, that deceased appeared to be in a dying state. She was lying on the carpet, with a wash-band lawn bride her, into which she was vomiting.
