Yesterday afternoon nu loopiest was held at the sign of the Black Florae, Hitli-street, Poplar, before John Wright Vo w it', h 49. Groner, on the body of William Haywood, a well &Eger, who was lulled in the late dreadful accident at Poplar. • The Jury being empanelled and swoon, they proceeded to take a view of lite body of the deceased, which lay in the parish workhouse of Poplar. He is • young tutu, and ap. petted dreadfully crushed. After viewing the body, the Curtner and Jury iirocerded to the house of Mr. llntaillitirst, bricklayer, of High-street, who was tie the well at the time of the accident, for the purpose of taking his deposition ; he was in a 'heedful condition, covered with bruises, and Trashed rid • tett title manure, sitting in an arm-chair, ill each • elehilitated slate that he with extreme diffiruloy gave Lie evidence, which was to the following effect : Mr. RitmoMast being sworn, said—l am a toaster brick. layer, and gesiile rid this parish; stone time ago I entered in to • coutract with the parish of Poplar to make some wells, fur the purpose of supplying the inhabitants with water. It WAS intended to place a pump over the well when it was finished; several men were employed lo make the well, and at the t • hail succeeded in digging thirty.five feet in depth. The deceased was employed as a well. digger, and was at work with me and • matt named Patrick Driscol, a labourer its my employ, nearly at the bottom of the place; the decealied was digging, and Drisetil and myself were Is yiag the brickson the tinder-curb, to under pin the tipper curb next to 11, when the deceased alarmed air, by saying the place was giving way, and in an instant both melee of the well bulged in ; they ran to the centre of the well, and laid hold of the rope unit tub in which the del was conveyed sip, and called out to the labourers at top to draw them op; but they scat cely heard them, and befote al l y assistance could he afforded, the whole of the earth, tificici, aid timber, fell in 11p1111 them, and covered them completely; the deceased and Driscol were at work close by my sole, previous to the place falling in. I was able to breathe, but with great pain and difficulty, wail spoke to the deceased, who apparently Ishoured miller great difficulty from pressure. He said to me while he was under the earth," 04, mater ! this is a dreadful situation to he in, what will become of us 1. 1. it is impossible for WI to survire." He sail lie was dying. He shortly afterwards said—" Master, we shall die to day, and be buried next Sunday." I advised the deceased to keep up his spit its, and be reconciled to his fate, amid to think of God. He soon after expressed a fear that the pal era alcove would not search after them, they mivht think they were dead, and would not dig so fast after them. The deceased also said that they were all young men 'meaning those hurled), and it was • pity that they shouldi come to that istitinsely end. The deceased was pressed much ott the stomach, and could not move his hands. The men above cowinieneed digging after them, and shoring the go ound, and they wane confined under the ground nine i hours before the least air was afforded them. They were very slow in getting the dirt tip, bring obliged to take it up in baskets, while they stood on the rubbish ; they were in total darkness ; I am of opinion that the water which came through the boles kept me and Driseol alive. The deceased SUMS' of the tine Waa leaning un my breast, and he was alive two hums pierions to being taken nut of the situation he Was in. We could tint have lived half an hour longer in the condition Driscol sod I were in ; we were pinioned, and cosild not more ; fortunately two of my fingers were at 1116 , 11 V, Wi.ll which I succeed •d in moving sonic of the rub. heals, dud I euuld breathe, but could not 010Ve hum the pres. sure of sit- rillibish. At one lime, when I heard the men digging, I hollowed uses, " Miura my boys, be quick, and you'll save us !" The deceased, in great pain, said, o Master !I am not in such a condition as you are ; I an almost •uffiteated, awl nearly dead?' I shortly after head aml felt mile deceased struggling with death, and head him gaspinz, mail draw his last breath. 1 sus injured all over, sun Driscol, of the two, is worse than myself; lie has • large family, and a pregnant wife. After being sunder g I fur a number of burrs the men succeeded in reschiug me, and bouncing me up; and its about two hours after dug tip the deceased, who was quite dead ; shortly afterwards Misc.l was g ot u p, a n d we were taken to the surgeon's, and had avid y assistance: afforded us, and were afterwards taken to our houses. I sin of opinion it was • perfect accident. Mr Broadhurst was much fatigued after this, and the Cormier and Jury retorted to the Black Horse, and beard the fullowinie evidence : _ . John hay sworn—l am an excavator, and live in Din gle's-court, Poplar ; on Monday morning last, having been informed of the above accident I went to render assistance ; on my •arrival I commenced moving some bricks and rubbish, lint in consequence of turtling with an accident was obliged to leave off; some lime after I assisted in taking Driscol and the deceased mit of the Mile; the latter was quite dead. The deceased lived on Slffron-hill, and has left a wife and large family. The unfortunate man, Driscol, is in a mist piti.ible siination ; he keeps his bed, and is in a very dan gerous condition; surrounded by a large family of young children, and has a wife in the greatest distress—he is not able bi speak. The Jury sat for a length of time, and after a few remarks f the Cumin, they Monad a verdict of "Accidental Death." Yesterday an Inquisition was held in the Board Room of the feli.ltl:erx Hospital, before Thomas Stirling, Esq. un the body of the Rev. Daniel Parkes, who wet with an un timely death, as appears from the following evidence : James Honldun sworn.—l am a gentleman's servant, and reside at 30, Norfqjk-street, Middlesex He,pital. About seven o'clock in the evening of Friday last, I was at the end of Oxforil. , ari et, next SI.

We ~ it him on a shutter, and I assisted to carry him there; he was speechless, and quite insensible. I tailed to see him next day, and found him in the sane state. went to let his friends in Charles-street, Hatton-garden, know of the accident; his daughters came to see him; he knew them, but could not speak to them. Idu out know who the house lielunzed to; I understand it broke away from the elsuse at the turnpike; it was slopped at St. Giles's Cburch, and taken away th e same might by the Gentleman it belonged to. - .

On l'riday evening, Ibe deceased was brought to the Hupilal, lahtturing under symptoms resulting from a violent blow on the head. 1 examined it, and found the scalp cut and bruised, and the skull fractured; be died as persons usually do also are similarly injured. The Jury, under all the circumstances, returned a verdict of " Accidental Dcatts." Yesterday tvening nn Inquisition was taken at the sign of the Harley Mow, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, heroic Thomas Higgs, Esq.

To the EDIT:IR of The BRITISH PRESS. cannot retire for eve► without leaving a short memorial of some of the happy and glorious event. of which I have been witness in this country. !inch a document will efrectoilly silence all false and clamorous libellers of our present Constitution and Government—all reformers, annual and trien nial—and demon►tratively prove that England (the only Ital i a n %soffit city reg,ird•) is not only the hest and mildest goverired—the most contented nod happy of any nation on earth—but that she has more re•'ott to bo.ist of her administration, mid rejoice in her condition in every respect, than at •iy former period. I was born, indeed, at a time when the political horizon was a little iivercird by the Puspesmion of act old-fashioned law, called the set of Habeas Corpus. But this was an event of such common occurrence during the lives of my twenty-live last predecessors, as to cause but little alarm or uneasiness. The lie.. cram) , of it was evidenced by the existence of plots and conspiracies, commending agents and Mitt u means of such superlative and magical potency, as to entertain well-grounded hopes of storming the metropolis with a stocking full of ammuni tion, and to dispatch bullets through windows of plate glass without leaving a hole. Besides it was known that merciful and religious meta would never commit such an abuse of power as to keep people in prison on light and insufficient grounds. But, in my infancy, l had the satisfitc tiou to see M Misters voluntarily resign all the un usual powersi with which they had been intrusted woe of the noblest sacrifices ever made by governors to the governed—an act which throws into the shade the antiquated exploits of your Decii and Regulii, your Codruses and Leonidases ; for, as all the traitorous confederacies winch had required the Executive to be armed with extraordinary vigour, still had existence, ruck a spontaneous renuncia tion of what is most dear to the human heart, could only have originated from a scrupulous anxiety to avoid any thing, nay, the appearance of ally thing severe, arbitrary, or unconstitutional ; and is . positive proof that, in the midst of sedition, treason, and Spenceanship, they thought hottest in. teutions and uncorrupted integrity the strongest shield; and deemed themselves most secure its the affections of a people full of admiration for their talents, amid gratitude for their disinterested and CCOIIOIIIICBi administration, and the long tram of prosperity and plenty it had introduced. This in fereuce is confirmed beyond all doubt by the candid and ample exposition in the papers laid before the House of Commons, of the grounds and motives of their acting; and by their disdaining to protect themselves, or their subordinates, as less honest Statesmen would, from t he consequences of their pro. ceedings, by any thing but their inherent propriety and justice. The next instance of public felicity I have to relate took place a little after the former, on the occasion of the intended marriage of the Dukes of the Blood Royal. Whet a glorious ex ample fur the servants of Royalty throughout the world is the part which ours then pursued ! How will it excite the wonder of posterity to learn, that the additions proposed by them to be made to the incomes of these exalted personages, whose good will or dislike they had such variouimotives to cul tivate or fear, appeared to the guardians of the public purse to have been dictated by narrow and niggardly maxims of retrenchment; and absolutely inconsistent with the dignity and splendour that ought to be maintained by the possible parents of the future Monarchs of the realm ! How delight. fill will it he to hear of the amicable contest on this point, fur four or Live nights carried on between the Treasury Bench and their adherents, and the ad. verse but affectionately loyal and liberal part of the House ; the former, with more than Spartan virtue, obstinately resisting all enlargment of the proposed grants, the latter insisting on it, and finally tri umphing ! But the story grows in grandeur ; for uliquestionably the most heroic scene of it was the rejection, by one of the illustrious indivi duals concerned, of the proffered income, pure• ly out of a spirit of benevolence and consider ation for the imaginary distressed state of the country !• I shall now describe the upright con duct of our Ministers, with regard to the investiga tion of the abuses of Charitable Institutions. The inointut the measure was proposed, their tender hearts were instantly touched with the injuries done to the poor and helpless—their quick-sighted intel. !tett' perceived how desirable it was, that the large funds, computed at about seven or eight hundred thousand pounds • year, destined to the educe. tion of the poor, should be, to the last farthing, eatimated, and scrupulously applied to their Canute object. Accordingly, though the Bill was introduced by a formidable political opponent, and though the intended inquiry might prove dis agreeable to many political friends, the ministry at once entered into the views and spirit of its author, and carried it unaltered, unmutilated, and in origi. nal vigour and efficacy through both [louses ! Uninfluenced by party feeling-, or any but those for the public good, they selected the parent of the proceeedings, and all whom the Committee pointed out, as Commissioners, nor placed among them one individual incapacitated by profesvional or other avocations from giving his undivided time and powers of mind to the prescribed duty; and few will deny that this was the only fair, liberal, and wise coolie. After this accumulated evidence of the wis dom and goodness of his Majesty's advisers, I need scarcely advert to the continuation of the restriction oo CYah payments, which keeps our gold so snug within the coffers of the Back, safe from the touch of native or foreigner; or to the Alien Bill, which will prevent a parcel of Frenchmen and Flemings Riming away with one of our men-of-war, and car.. ' eying Bonaparte out of St. Helens t, and save the Hero of Talavera from being .hot in his carriage. It has also been my Formby list to see the " winding up" of the comprehensive anal vast schemes of these mighty geniuses for general and lasting peace at Aix-la-Chapelle, and the consummation of their pacific plans in the evacuation of the French terri tory ; that country being, as every school-boy know,, entirely regenerated. restored to habits of tranquillity, perfectly purified from revolutionary opinions, and feeling gratefully attached to all Eu rope, and to England especially, for her pliiliiialwnpic • Vide Mr. Brougham's letter to the late Sir f.

Dining the gale from the N.E. on 'Foetal ty last, a boat was seen standing in for the Narrows; whets just about Black flead a heavy sea broke upon lier, she instantly disappeared, and, melancholy to ri late, all hands perished ! _ The stone day, we understand, a boat, in going from flollysood to Bay Roberts, to which ',lace she belonged, was struck by a heavy sea, filled asid went down, and the crew, catatonia:: of live men, were all lost. What residers the circum►tauce more distressing is, that three of them were bro thers. were married, and had in the three families twenty-one children. DECEMBER 5. On Wednesday evening, while the araineisofihe brig Emily were wheeling some ballot through Mr. Hogan's stage on board that vessel, Michael MuHolly, a cooper, came down, aomething in. liquor. and begins an altercat with them, upon which James Tott, one of the crew, told ltion to go about his business, and took hold of Mullally by the collar to shove him away from the head of the stage: the latter then went up the stage, and watch ing an opportunity when 'colt was passing, gave Itim a violent stab in the side with a pew. Medical aid was immediately had recourse to, but after lin gering till yesterday morning, in great pain, he expired. On a view of the body, it war found that the pew had penetrated through his liver, gill-blad. der, and wounded his stomach. MuDeily has since absconded, and diligent search is making for him. Edward Joyce mud John More left here early on Monday morning last for Torbay, but missing the road, got bewildered in the woods, and were out all that night (which, it will be recollected, was re markably stormy); after wandering about till moru ing. Joyce became so exhausted that lie was obliged to ►it down, unable to proceed any farther. More, finding it impossible to get bi. companion along, and feeling very weak, left him and arrived at u tilt near Red Head, at ten o'clock 011 almost in a state of insensibility. where, by the kind treatment of his host, he so fur recovered as to be able to reach St. John's next day, but has been very ill ever since. Mr. Jarmin and some others went in quest of Joyce out Thursday, but returned in the evening, without having discovered the least trace of hint. They set off again yester day morning, but nothing further has hitherto transpired. PATAGONIA. Extract of a letter from Bahia de Fodos-Sontes, Patagonia, dated August 1, 1818 It is now twelve months since I hail the ill luck to he wreck ed on this wild coast. The loss of our provision., stores, and fourteen of our best men, has heat, a drawback on our .ancern, or we should hare made a good season ; however, with the means that were left us, we contrived to do a little, if possible, to bring up a part of our leeway ; but for the last five mouths our only occupation has been homing, to provide ourselves with food. We have good horses and excellent dogs; our chase is deer and hares, with which the country abounds. There is a great variety of wild fowl here; ostriches by dozens, close to us; and particularly ducks and geese are swarming it, the creeks; but utifortn stately our fire-aims were lost in the vessel. Beasts of prey are very numerous, particularly the lion ; they are smaller and less fierce than those of Africa. The tigers are no where larger or more furious; fortunately they are not so abundant as the former. Wild horses and horned cattle are by thousands in these vast plains; but they are not killed for their bides and tallow, as is the case hear Buenos Ayres, only fur the immediate use of the hunter. The Patagomins are, without exception, the finest race of men in the world; frequently you meet with them eight feet and upwards, but not in the least awkward with their great height; extremely well proportioned ; very handsome features, with greet activity ; they are supposed the hest horse Men in the world. 'l'he Spaniards, by introducing horses into South America, have made Tartars of all the Indian tribe.; their customs are the same. they live the same wandering life, and, like them, they live tnu horse-flesh, which they prefer to all other The women are some of them very handsome, and have • good deal of the English feature ; all nations have their 'particular way of adortiing, or rather disfiguring themselves ; the prevailing fall among the tttt iris belles is to paint the *hole face, from the upper lip upwards, black or red ; for my part. I should prefer these charmers with undressed faces, and say—' when unadorned adorn ed the most.' The business we are caroing on, and have been for some years, is the sea elepli itit and fur seal fishery ; but these articles do not always answer the Loudon market ; we find it more advantageous to rend our return cargoes to foreign markets ; and even China pays better then London!" The present strength of the Russian army is said to consist of 840,000 men, 4lttatled Into different corp.; 360,000 of which ure *taunt ry, 04,000 regular cavalry, 81i , t11111 Cossacks, 49,600 artillery, 7; - ,,000 mrrinrr ; 100,000 belonging to the brit line of the te•ert•c, and 50,000 to the second, and 73,000 veterans.
