Hayes said, not by any means he was rather wealthy. Juror—ln what business was the deceased ?• Mr. I - Jaye:7..4Jc was It trine-nicrchant, and carried on a large business: juror—Was he m y a o r u tie s t h l o o t r y sit t l i g s le an ? y Mr. u H n a d y s es f — or C e a m n an2. and all his r e l a ti ve s ar e re siding lfe c v n % o a i s o a S i ng in Germany. E R- - leading to a conclusion that the deceased was of unsound mind ? - -- , ==Mr. Hayes related several eircurtr stances. He had a- short time since written to a nephew of his on the Continent s requiring his itn- , mediate presence in this country,: to arrange some business, but he had only arrived a few days, when he sent him back again without assigning the slightest reason, or effecting the business for which he had been sent for, and actually travelled down to. Harwich the more quickly to accelerate his shipment. Juror—What might have been the cause of his uneasiness of mind ? Mr. Hayes said, he could not give a decisive answer upon that point. He knevr that he was the ladder of many foreign bills, with which he had considerable difficulty, which might have tended to impair his mind. He could not as sign any other cause. A foreign gentleman, whose name did not trans pire, and who appeared deeply .affected, recognized the deceased.

Dur ing the 12th moon of the -last year it fell out that this woman became ill, of 1 know what disease. Her whole body became putrid and broken. The stench was intolerable. Her ci ies -of pain were heard outside the door. She con• tinned alive till 'yesterday, at the 2d watch, when the skin and flesh haring entirely fallen from her belies, she died. This was the miserable retri butiOn of cruelty I" " SUICIDES.—In Tungwang-street, on the south side of the city of Canton, there reside upwards of fifty . families. Since the new year, in fess than ,cine month, seven women and girls have Irt*ed themselves. What demons or imps 'possessea them it is impossible .to.tell. Ori the west side of the city, in the suburbs, dwelt an aged widow who had attained her 70th year. She was poor, and worked with her needle, or washed., for a subsistence. She owed.. five or six months' rent. Her landlord unroofed her house to drive her out ; and nest he took away other people's clams which she had received to wash. This entirely overpowered her, and she hung herself up to a beam. She had a poor son, who carried things for sale about the streets. He came 'home and found his mother dead. With what the natives consider prudence and wisdom, he let her hang, to. see whether he could make a crood bargain with the !andlord or not. Four dalts elapsed - in . fruitless efforts ; and the dead body of his aged:mother remained hanging by the neck till the local magistrate came and sat as coroner. - He ordered the landlord to pro vide a coffin, and be at the expense of the 'in terment. He had a right, it was granted; to ask for his rent ; but he had no right to • carry off other people's. clothes. Whether he. will bp farther prosecuted remains undecided."--- Tie) aril Gazette. Noble Lord lead been so kind as to accuse him of parti ,ditv, as. Chairman of the Committee; but he defied the 'shadow of a proof of a.partial exercise of any atuirotity he might have possessed: He had declared to the Noble Lord that lie (h!s Lordship) was in fluenced by private consideration:, and that he was himself influenced by no motive but the public good. Alderman Wood, in the course of his speech, which was greatly cheered, described the nature of the combination, which had existed up to the 19th of January last, amongst the , great coal-Owners. A limitatio n in th e ven d or supply of coal sent from the rivets Tyne and Wear had existed with short in terruption up to that date, and coals had' fallen 4s. and ss. a chaldron in consequence of the destruction of that limitation. It had been managed thus : Three arbitrators were annually appointed by the coal-owners of the two rivers; to assign to each coal owner the quantity of coals to be sent to market in the following year, and to fix the price of each sort of coals, below which they should not be sold, and the annual quantities were placed under Committees at Newcastle and Chester-le-street, at each of which places a Secretary was kept to regulate the quantity each coal-owner should send to market in the follow ing month. By. this mode of measurement the public were severely taxed ; but the competition which now existed, in consequence of the breaking up of the regulations, was of infinite service to the community, although it interfered most vitally with those private feelings, of . Which he had already spoken, and which had beeri lately so much exal perated. Crown-offsce, June 9, 1929. mnatsun nETLIANED "fo SERVE IN THIS ruust:lNT PAU- PICTURE OF LIAMENT. liLrough of Wexford.

Dicovery Bill respecting the " Seasoning of Timber by Distillation," •bas passed both Houses. lii inirsuing our extracts from this (to u s ). . very singular, amusing, and instructive journal, we trust our readersgo along with us think ing, that for communicating curious information . to the European reader, the Editor of the Can ton Register deserves warm thanks. It. was a mere chance which placed his journal into our hands, but we were much struck by its judicious illustrations of the " celestial etupire;" and though We may nev er b e k nown even as his follower to our Canton contemporary, we thank him most cordially, and intimate a just compli ment to his labours when we state, that though we have omitted much interesting matter, we have yet only got through twelve numbers of his first year's publication, of which we have (to the 13th of December last) 22 remaining ; and out of which we can promise our readers a fund of such entertaining and popular extracts as has never yet exhibited Chinese society in its do mestic and true light to - the European 'world. " On the 9th inst. the TartarUgneral ordered - anis - officers to assemble in the great hall, that he might examine them in person, as is the official duty of the General, when he has to re port on then' health and fitness for Wiki'ice. How ever, that was only the pretext ;: the real object was to ascertain the highest bidders for places at all the custom-houses, which, as a perquisite for the poor army, usage allows him to fill. For the Macoa inner haboUr custom-houSe he is said to receive 1,000 or 1,200 dollars annually. The Pria Grande custom-house is also farme& or sold in a similar manner. Fellows pay some times more than they can get fairly, and hence extortions and rows are the consequence. " EXECOTIONS.-4M the .44. h., instant a' nailed express was received from Peking. This nailing consists of two paper threads, passed through the envelope from side to side and sealed, which operation .makes it more difficult for any inferior officer or other person to open it, till it arrives at the chief officer to whom it is sent. This tengfungmanshu, as the Chinese call it, contained an order to execute immedi ately two pirates who kid given passes to trading boats. They were forth With bounkand led out to be decapitated. One of them, Uhiq,• was unable to walk ; the other, Chingyawymr, talked and laughed as if nothing were the matter. He turned round his head to Uhing, andycalifd out, Don't distress yourself: w e shall onii. separated a short time ; in 16 years we shall come back again.' There are Wore executions take place . in Canton than in any other province of the empire. About 20 years ago the age'', tion of government was called to the fact. They consulted the Chinese geomancers to ascertain the cause. These impotorsiaid, that the earth where the executions took place, whether fertile or sterile, had an effect on the increase or dimi• nation of crime. It was now in too fertile and prosperous a spot. It was then at the outside of the south gate of Canton ; and in consequence of the sage advice of the geomancers, Tyburn was removed to the outside of the north gate for a time. The executions, however, increased ; and after a trial, government reverted to the ori'•• ginal place of execution, where it still is. It is a small spot at which there is a pottery for mak ing clay furnaces. It if a place of blood, and a potter's field.- A little lane is sprinkled on the ground before the execution, and the bodies are thrown up at the foot of a dead wall, with a mat cast loosely over them ; while the heads which have to be exhibited in terrorem, are hung up in little cages against the wall. * * * " PEKING.--The Censor Shingszepoon has reported that two of the common people —one the plaintiff, and the other the 'defendant—being confined together previous to trial, the accuser fell upon the defendant, and murdered him in the prison. The Emperor has examined into it, and finds that the matter in dispute was a trivial one. He 'complains of the officer for carelessness in confining the two together, and for delaying the adjustment of the affair several days, as well as for not placing a guard over these persons. Sungpooytsow, the officer in-question, is there fore ordered to appear before the supreme crimi nal board called Yingpow, and be .subjected to: interrogation by grinding torture, to ascertain whether or not the ease, be really as is repre sented; or whether there be not some circum stances concealed. " CANTON.--Yesterday his Excellency the Foouue received from his .Imperial Majesty the bestowment of the word happiness, with a haunch of venison (deer) from Peking. The usage is, on such an occasion, to throw open th e gates of the public hall, admit the venisoni,and perform the thrice three knock-head ceremony towards the throne of the Monarch, and thank him for his condescension. " SPRING SACRIFICES.—The court circular from the Governor-General's office . announces daily the act of putting an official stamp on forms of prayer, paper scrolls, as substitutes for silk, &c. to be presented with sacrifices in behalf of government, not by priests but by civilians, to the temples of various gods—the god of litera ture, the god of the wind, the celestial and the terrestrial gods, and to Confucius. These prayers and sham silks are, after the necessary prostra tions, burnt and passed into the invisible state, to complimet and clothe the personages to whom they are offered. On the Bth of the moon, being Sunday, the Fooune,.and all,the civil and military officers of the city, assembled before the altar of the gods in heaven, and the gods on earth, sacri ficed and worShipped. Certain inferior scribes of the local magistrates' offices did hotnagelp the god of the wind. - After the service they ali returned to their public offices to issue and re ceives despatches. And in the mean time tIIX Namboyune was engaged in questioning a banl;:! rapt merchant h6'w he had got rid of so.rouch cotton in so short a time without•any-zreturn, as is alleged he did." , The following are samples of Chinese popular. news, hawked about the streets like our ballads or dying speeches In the Poonu district dwelt a young woman of the name of Ling, (which means cold and cruel.) She was married to a Canton-man of the name of lwati, to be his wife. Cruelty to her became, natural. I lived in her neighbour hood seven years, and calculated that she beat to death four slave girls. .One day I, happened to meet with two of her un c l es , an d t a lked about 60U13.11 - OF CONINION COUNCIL. Yesterd4 a Court of Common Council was hekl in Guildhall for the despatch of business. LONDON-BRIDGE APPROACHES BILL. The LORI) MAYOO. stated, that a Court of Alder men had been held that morning, which had taken the athice of Counsel, and had come to the risoln. tion recommending to the Court of Common Council - to ticker in the accounts of the income and expenditure of the city of London, or an abstract of them, - as oidered by .the House of Mr. TICKNER -thought it would be desirable for the Court to agree with the resolution of the Court of Aldermen. Mr. S. DIXON: Iyished. the proceedings of that Court to be known to the whole kingdom, but at the same time, when a matter of so great importance was being agitated between the House of Lords and the Ciurt of Common Council, he would wish that the plbject shoyld be discussed with closed doors. He : , :gged leAve - to make a motioM to that effect, thtre- t it I , .as the first time he ever wished strangfirs to'lli-xcittled. - 'l7.:e LORD MAYOR said there was no necessity fora motion. It was an order of the Court, tit.t. no strangers should be present daring the proceedings of the Court, and of course they must be excluded at the desire of any member. Strangers were accordingly ordered to withdraw. It was immediately proposed, we understand, that the discusSion should be public, and a discussion took place upon the question, in which it was urged by the advocates for nn open Court, that the very circumstance of closing the doors was calculated to engender a suspicion that there was something in the affairs of the - corporation which was not exaltly adapted to the eye of public scrutiny,—that a gar bled or deficient report at least was sure to make its appearance, partaking of the prejudices of those who might furnish it, and that the Court were not obliged; on the score of delicacy to.their Lordships, to prevent the -public from hearing what the Mem bers of the Corporation had to say. By those who were for 'Making the Court a private one on this occasion,;it was stated that thete was a n ecess i t y for privaCy„as the question was one between the House of Lords-.and the Corporation, and the dis cussion before -the public, would not be calculated, perhaps, to serve the interests of the latter. After a warm discussion, a division took place, the numbers were—For admitting the public, 60; for exclusion, 64; majority in favour of a closed court, 4. The Court then proceeded to debate the propriety ' of agreeing to the recommendation of. the Court of Aldermen as tp submitting the papers required to their Lordships at the .bar of the House. The ge neral sentiment was in favour of presenting the ac counts. It appeared that the accounts ordered were neither more nor less than those which had been sent to the Committee of their Lordships on the London Bridge Approaches' Bill; so that the point to be settled was a mere matter of form in the opinion of the great majority. After some discussion had taken place upon the subject, Alderman WOOD took occasion to allude to the active exertions of two noble Lords (we be lieve Lords Londonderry and Durham) in .9p., position to the Loudon-bridge Approaches' Those exertions bad, it was well known;been attri butable to a very different • cause from that of the good of the community. The private interests of their Lordships were the real foundation of their determined repugnance to the measure, and that repugnance had been exhibited by one of them in a manner which did not argue much for his dignity or good sense. So far did the Noble Lord's kind ' wishes attend, the Corporation, that he thought fit to ascribe a total incapacity to the magistrates of . that Corporation as to their performance of their official duties.

The §aree The retired village of Charlton, in Kent, has, since Sunday, been in a state of considerable excite ment, produced by the discovery. of #the dead body of a gentleman in the Lower Twelve-acre-field, near the seven-mile stone, on the. Great Dover-road. The circumstances under Which the .deceased was found were at first deemed so extraordinary and myste rious, that it was believed he had either been ,mur dered, or had fallen in a duel, as it was not until a fuliand minute examination of the spot where the dead body was discovered, that it was ascertained he had lain violent hands on himself. The following is the authentic outline of the discovery of the gen tleman, who has since been recognised to have been a:foreign merchant of great worth and respectability. On Sunday morning, about ten o'clock, a labouring gardener, .named Weekes, was employed in scaring the birds from a field of young oats, and his atten tion was particularly drawn. to a vast assemblage }Hived:le-over a very. retired part of the field, as. if they had found something unusual and extraordi nary. Weekes proceeded in the direction, and was surprised at finding footstepS deviating through the oats froni the footpath. Upon reaching within a few yards of the spot, he was horror-struck at find ing the dead body of a man, from which the head had been almost as effectually blown off as if he had been decapitated. The gardener was so alarmed that he instantly went back to the village, and gave information to Johnson, the constable, and they, with all speed, returned together, accompanied by several of the inhabitants, and proceeded to the distressing duty of examining the corpse. The deceased was dressed in deep mourning, and upon his hands were white kid gloves. The right was thrown back, and the fingers were ..stained with blood. The death appeared to have been occasioned by a pistol or gun-shot : and after a minute search, the shattered stock and fragments of the lock and barrel of a pistol were found scattered near the dead body and about the field. They placed the corpse in a shell, and deposited it in the church of Charlton, where the clothes and pockets were examined, and the articles found were several letters relative to mercantile - transactions, a Russia leather wallet, I 2s. in money, a gold watch and seals, and ten pistol bullets, with some trifling monortinda. The letters Were all directed as' follows•:—To Monsieur Gus tavus W. Peipers, ( w hi c h 'was the name of the de ceased),--Monsieur Mouremanns. One of the letters was from Messrs. Jamieson and Adrics, of Lawrence Pountney-lane, Cannon-street, to the deceased, advising him of the shipment of some wines. They were in the German .langurge, and led to the means of ascertaining who the de ceased was. A tnesSenger was dispatched to his late residence, No. 53, Great Coratn-street, Russell square, and communicated the heavy tidings of his death. Upon the circumstance of a dead body being found becoming known in Greenwich, it was ascer tained that two gentlemen had been the whole of Sun day searching the park and its shrubberies, and the place called the Wilderness, for a gentleman wbo had written a letter, dated Saturday, from Greenwich, apprising . thctn of his intention to commit suicide. They did not succeed, as it will be observed, in finding the object of their search, who was the de ceased, and rettuned in the evening with an im pression that he had abandoned . his - - 'suicidal inten tion. Colonel Foreman, the' local Magistrate, had been applied to, and by his direction Larkins, a constable, assisted in the search, and in the course of Sunday learned that a• foreign gentleman, an swering the description of the deceased, took a luncheon and drank a pint of • wine at the Crown and Sceptre, Greenwich, on Saturday, where h e wrote two letters, and appeared deeply dejected. A similar kind of person was seen wandering in a very agitated manner in the Great Dover-road, and it is believed he• accomplished the dreadful act by firing the pistol into his mouth during that•night : from the circumstance of the pistol being so greatly shattered, it is evident the unfortunate man must have pursued his design with the most fatal deter mination, and must have heavily charged the pistol. Information having been given to Mr. CARTTAR, one of the Coroners for Kent, he directed the con stable to summon a jury, and collect 'the necessary evidence by Monday. THE INQUEST. At eight o'clock on Monday evening, a highly respectable Jury assembled at the French Horn Ta vern; Charlton, to inquire into the eireuinstances which led to the deplorable event. A slip of paper was handed in, whereon was writ ten. Gustavus W. Peipers, aged 6 years, with the watch, money, letters, bullets, gloves, and the shat -4ere<l.picees of the weapon. The first witness was Mr. James Hayes, broker, of No. 22, Cornhill. The.deceased had been known to him for a considerable period, and until latterly was of a particularly good-humoured „disposition. lie hoarded and lodged in Great Coram-street, but his counting-house was at the residence of witness in Cornhill; the last time he saw the deceased alive was on' Thursday last; lie appeared then to ,be greatly agitated and disturbed in his mind. The CORONER here handed tlitgAtijoing singu lar docum ent , .which was found - tifon tfie*son of ..the deceased, to Mr. Hayes, and asked hint if he knew the handwriting ?—Mr. Hayes aid the writ ing was Mr. Peipers, but' greatly altered from his usual style,.which he thought might have been occa sioned by agitation. The document was then read : " This is the body of Gustavus Peipers, from Cologne, , .• • in Germany, aged 26 years.

" Je diets near Boum friendly eon), and liopea to be " Proceeding by a fine road, planted on each side with acacias and sycamores, whose growth, owing to the richness of the soil, kept pace with the impatient disposition of the Pasha, who had, atone sweep, cut down the avenue of mulberry trees three years before, we arrived at the house, which is , situated close to the Nile, and coin , mands a fine prospect of the river and city. The exterior of the building exhibited nothingse markable. On ascending a terrace a few feet and found a i s ias ia sed fit t o h i r il o y ug io h r a an rou h outhouse,lt was matted, and round the walls was fixed, a row of cushions, on two corners of which were rough `wooden e n found ourselves in the Pasha's room of audience. placed satin pillows, marking the sot of flip Pasha occupied according to the position of the sun. Just over a . low ledge in the door, ive stepped into a small room with a bedding on the floor : this was_ his sleeping chamber. Surely never monarch had so little luxury.. or state. Thence we.; came at once ta the magnificent suite of apartments appropriated .to the chief lady of the harem. The centre of the principal room formed a sort of octagon, with three recesses, all inlaid with marble. From the four corners opened four; smaller rooms, fitted with splendid divans and cushions.of velvet and cloth of gold ; and a set of marble baths completed this series of elegant apartments. - The ceilings, executed by a Greek artist, -were lofty and vaulted, orna mented with gold and representations of p.dland scapes, or of palaces and colonnades,. the whole painted in light and pleasing colours. The Sul tana's private sitting-room was still more sumptit , ous. The ceiling consisted of a circus of palaces, the columns - and arches- of which were deli- neated with a most successful regard to perspec tive. These apartments were until lately occupied by the Pasha's deceased wife, mother of Ibrahim Pasha by a former husband. Their splendour was singularly contrasted with the plainness of those inhabited by the Pasha himself. This led one of my friends to ask if I was not penetrated with so convincing a proof of the gallantry of the Turk; and he challenged me to cite the English husband who would - have done so moth for the exclusive gratification of his wife. To which I could only reply that, with my erratic propensities, I should not willingly resign the privilege of locomotion for such proofs of affec don ; and that I apprehend few English women would answer either the Paella's or Sancho Panza's idea of a good wife, by continually re maining, according to the latter proverb, like an honest woman, at home, as if her leg were broken.' Mahomed Ali's late consort had great influence over him during her life, as he con sidered.his marriage with her We' foundation '.of his good - fortune. She was esteemed and I,)c -loved by the people ; for her influence was ever employed on the side of justice and mercy. Much of her time was occupied in receiving pe titions ; but it was seldom she bad to refer them to the Pasha, as her power was too well known • by the Ministers to require this last appeal. If, however, in consequence of any demur on their part, she had to apply to him, he answered their remonstrance by saynag—' It is enough. By my two eyes ! if she requires it the thing must be done ! be it through fire, water, or stone.'

The gardens of Shoobra, with their golden fruit and aromatic flowers. having already been described by former :travellers, I shall .pass on to the magnificent pavilion, which constitutes the chief embellishment of the place, anti which was completed only a few weeks before my visit. This' pavilion .is about 250 feet long by 200 broad; On its sides .rain four galleries or colonnades, composed of elegant pillars of the finest white marble (of an order resembling the Composite), surrounding a sun ken court of six feet deep, paved throughout with the same beautiful material. At each cor ner of the colonnade is a terrace, over which water passes into the court below in a murmur ing cascade, having omits ledges figures of fish, sculptured so true to nature, that, with. the flow ing stream, they appear to Move. The whole sup ply of water rises again through a fountain in the centre, and re-appears in a beautiful jet-d'eau, lofiy;. sparkling, and abundant: One seldom sees an exhibition of this character without ap prehending a failure of water ; but here the works are fed by the Nile, and the spectator is aware that its exuberance will not cease. In fine wea•- ther the Pasha occasionally resorts to this splen did fountain with the ladies of his harem, who row about in the flooded court for the amuse ment of his Highness, while he is seated in the colonnade. Great is the commotion when the ladies descend into - the garden. A signal is given; and the gardeners vanish in an instant.
