At this giremsent a man of respectable app ore, in a dash. lag dogrel, came up, admired the house, and asked if he was or sale ? He was simmered in the affirmative, and s place as ked.

The Jury nw,• summoned 10 news at the late resideuee of the deceased, No. 1, Skinner street, Snow bill. _ _ . The Joey look a view of the hiolv in the brat instance. A relative of the deceased wished that the wife of She de. ceased might not have her feelings I hot by being ex- ' mined, bet the Jury thought her cvtilesiee indispeesable. The lest witness was a servant in the Hannah "Came, being sworn, stated, that her mailer, the deceased, wa s a rldsolith and jeweller.

After supper he called to her to brine him some hot water, as he wished to take some salts, which lie thought would remove a vtolent pain that he felt in his ..iiimach. She brought him some water, and she saw him nth( some roam and water, which was very weak. He wool only part of the hot water for the ram and water, the rest remained in Oaring. She did not tee him mix the salts After he had drank the rum and water lie weal to bed About five o'clock next morning she heart her mistress scream very violently, and being alarmed, she ram up stairs to see what was the matter, sod saw her mist/area wringing her heeds, in the greatest .Stie saw her mister lying on the II are, at the foot of the bed. She heard a kind of rattling ha hi. Oros! ; be sighed once or twice, sad then respired. There were nu appearances I. the room of his having been sick or unwell. Her mistress im mediately sent off for • medical 'redcoat's'. Examined by Jarors--She saw that morning a paper con taining something resembling salts. She did not notice the glass that was is her master's room. The but water she took to her master wag fur the purpose, as be said, of mat ing salts. Mr. Warlock, the surgeon, came to her matter. On hie arrival, he said that her master was quite dead; and betook the paper of oxalic acid away with him. Mr. George Mason, sergeant, Skinner-street, stated that he was called at half-past live that morning to attend the deceased, Mr. Goodwin. He foetid hint dead. He had expired some time. Hts bands mid fret were cold. lir had been lying on the ground a quarter of an hour ; and, firm the glatement of Mrs. G he was of opinion that be died as smite as be fell on the ground. He had not been sick. Prom the appearance of the body el that time, he (witness) could nut say what was the cause of hiadenth. In less than half an hour afierwads he found, in the deceased's room, la a paper, about an ouster of oxalic arid. The piper, had been opened and folded again, and he thought at Sod part of the acid had been i•keia out. On looms, ate o n i a in the room, •• incrustation was found at the bottom of A this was, at brat, supposed by him to be sugar, and be thought that some person had hero drinking spirits and wa ter, and bad put more sugar in than had dissolved; bat, upoe his taxiing the sediment, he rimed that it was strongly im pregnated with oxalis. acid, and was very pungent. Be sides the incrustation, there was shoot a spoonful of liquid is the glass, and he wee sure that it was a soluthso of oxalic arid. The usual symptoms pro- duced by taking oxalic acid is violent sickness, and sometimes the emitting of blood. He could not tell that the deceased had taken oxalic acid from the appearance of the Bps, and hr could not open the mouth, the teeth were closed so tightly. The body had heels subsequently opened, an d a pp eare d in every respect healthy, except the stomach, the Inner coat of which was completely destroyed. The op. p of the stomach were such as would be caused by lbs taking of oxalic acid. The chemical agency of the poison had continued ita effect after death epos the stomach, and reduced it to a black pulp ; in fact, oxalic acid was eta very subtle whew swallowed, that its effects were the instant destructioa of human life. Oxalic acid so sanch resembles salts that it monad be distinguished from it without a close imapeetion. Examined by Jurors—The merit contsising the oxalic acid would contain, Ise thought, smoker wince, and in all probability two ounces were purchased. Juror—Then I should suppose that the deceased per. shaved the oxalic acid for salts? Coroner—Did the deceased wear boots with tops, na oxalic acid is need for cleaning boot-tops ? Brother of the &rem/ed.—My brother did not wear boots with tops, mid could have no lose fur oxalic arid. Coroner—When such delvterroua ingredients are sold, the word "maim.." ought to be stamped or written repot* flue paper, by the vender. Foreman—l believe that the deceased purchased the oxalic acid for salts, by mistake. Garotter—Does say perms belonging to the deceased know how he became pawned of the oxalic arid' Brusher of the deceased—Not one of the flintily have any konowleAge upoo the subj.et. It is nut kuowts where t►ey were purchased. ('wooer—Was any food rtmainiag is the elninach! la itemise—None, uidess it was dissolved by the acid with the Coal of the stomach.

The paper in stock the oxalic arid was tumid, %la+ ant tied with a string.

Coroner-11 would be very desirable to diseover where the oxalic acid was p•reb•aed by the .1 d. Surgeon—ln justice to the drug trade generally, be hoped it would be found out. No diuggiat or apothecary oow would sell oxalic arid, or poisonous ingredients of any kind, without the word " Poison" being written on the paper. Brother * f the deceased—The acid was purchased by my brother bile he was out ;it was a casual purchase. He used frequently to purchase salts 'bee he less from home, as he was constantly in the habit of taking them. Sergeon—ln conscquence hue falad accidents that have takes place be permits@ mistaking oxalic acid for salts, the et& id milts is greatly elm-teased, sod ►f a periwig rooters a druggist', shop sow to purchase salts, he repeatedly ingaliew, " Are you sure what you bate given me is real salts; are yew sure it Is sot poison ?"

SITRACT TROIS THE IMPORT OF THI COMMIS SIONS& OF INQUIRY INTO THS STAYS OF TIM COLONY OF NSW SOUTH W•LIS. (Cognates(' from oar Paper of Saforday last) The blacks accompany the soldiers who are sent in pursuit, and by the extraordinary streugth of eight that they pio.sess, improved by tl►eir daily exercise of it iii pursuit of kangaroos and opossums. they can trace toe greet &malice, with osuch accuracy. the impressions of the humsn foot.

They are rewarded four these enterprise. by pre sents of maize mid blankets, and notwithstaudti•g the app►ehriisioiis of rrvenge from the convicts whom they bring hick, they continue to live in Newcastle and its beighbourliond, but are observed to prefer the society of the soldiers to that of the convicts. Severe flogging, when they are in a state to bear it, is the punishment inflicted for the offesree of escape, or, as it is termed, nuutiog ; and l oh. served two instance• where some very deep berm tinny of the back outl shoulders 'nil heen made in the infliction of this punishment. The slumber of lashes given is not so great as is iiinal in military punishments, but thew ale inflicted with more se verity. The number of prisoners punished in the yesr 1819 amounted to 91, and out of these 34 were pitisodied for attempting to make their esemlie from the seLtlestirot. Commlering the chitraeirr of the prisoners who are sent to this .rttlemrnt. til t . crimes for which they received punishment in 1819 are out of a heinous nature. 'Three conviets, however, were sent to Sydney on charges of murder, sort were con victed.

In the year le IS, Governor Macquartie gave per mission to Captiiii Willis to !dice a censers sewn her of the convicts, whip hid conducted themselves will. in some lertile plains that oiljuio rrunter's Rive► (and that are now called Paitersou's and Wellis's Plains). to cultivate land on their Son account, and to hold it during the pleurae, of the Government. Three free person., consisting of the storekeeper, the assistant surgeon, and the pilot's sun (and who, with the comm■udant and the mililary, form the whole free population of the settlement of Hunter's Rives), have received grouts of land in these plains, and cultivated • small portion of them ; they are at • distance of twenty miles by land and seventy by waiter from Nevica,tle ; rod I observed hit the convict Neil ler., who 11111W14111(Wilt to eleven, frequently brought down with then), maize, butter, poultry end eggs, which they gave in exch.loge fur tea, sugar, tobacco and cotton good•, that they procured from the retailers of those sulkies at Newcastle. The settlers at the plains are, with the except imis before ►tated, all prisoners. under long sros tenets, to-the Coal River. The land they oc cupy is very fertile, though it is subject to the inun dations of the river ; but the produce of their farms boy afforded temptations for plutider, said employ ment to the convicts at Newcastle. and the mesh. of procuring luxuries, which, in a place of mere punishment, ought to have been denied. In this respect the settlement of Newcastle was temarksbly adapted to that purpose : the soil, for *end miles near it. is so sterile and poor, that the sheep• al. lowed for the use of the Commandant and the hospital, and the cattle that ore employed in the Government teams, are with difficulty supported on the 'lateral grasses; with can, amid much ma nure, vegetables are raised in the Government gar. den, and similar attempts are made in the small patches of ground that surround some of the con victs houses. These natural .disadvautrges of soil constitute some of the local advsnisges fur punish. meet. for they render hard labour ate indispensable condition of existence; and I was much disposed to think, that the attempt to mingle with the bitterness of puuishasent the erojeyairot of property, mad the luxOriant produce of a ferule soil, was a deviation from that which ought to have hero the principal object of the establasbaseat. The exclusion of spi rituous liquors has been very effectually maintained by good regtilstion and vigilance; and escapes by sea, or violent attempts to cat out vessels in the harbour, are anticipated, by obligiog the- crews to deliver their sails said rudders SOON after they anchor.
