CASE of POISONING at BROMLEY The further inquiry into the above mysterious affair was again renewed yesterday, at the Swan Inn, Bromley, by Mr. Carter, the coroner. Since the last adjournment Superintendent Pearse and Inspector Field of the metropolitan police have been actively engaged in making inquiries, and have been in constant communication with the coroner, and Mr. Field was present during the whole of the pro ceedings yes- erday. Before any evidence was adduced, a gentleman named Rose addressed the coroner, and said he attended as the professional adviser of the Rev. Mr. Verrall, to watch the case on his behalf. He at the same time said that that gentleman w as rea d y an d anx i ous to g i ve all the information in hi s p ower, b ut f rom some circumstances of misrepresentatio n that had transpired, tending to pre judice his character, he requested permission to attend on the present occasion as his legal adviser. The CORONER said he was not aware of any evidence having been adduced tending to throw suspicion upon any party. The Court was an open Court, and had been so all along, and the g en tl eman was at liberty to be pre sent if he pleased. The inquiry was then proceeded with. Mr. H. Beaumont Leeson, physician of St. Thomas's Hospital, and lecturer on chemistry and forensic medi cine, was the first witness examined, and his evidence was of an important character, as tending to s h ow the impossibility of the deceased having destroyed her se lf It will be remembered that a small phial was found in the soil of the water• closet where-the deceasedwas ft:m.ld dead, and it was supposed by some persons that this had contained the poison, and that it had dropped from the deceased's hand. This supposition, however, was negatived to a considerable extent by the evidence of M . r. Holt, the surgeon, o f B rom l e y, w h o was first called in, and his evidence was entirely confirmed by Dr. Leeson, who stated that, in his opinion, the phial had been in the place where it was found for a considerable time, and that it had originally been used as a smelling bottle, and that it had never contained prussic acid. Dr. Leeson detailed a variety of experiments he bad tried with the sal-ammonia that was contained in the phial when it was found, and said that, by adding a small quantity of lime-water to it, the pungency of the salts was immediately restored, and for want of this he said he had no doubt the bottle had been thrown away. The witness then explained that the effect of adding lime water to the sal-ammonia. when it had lost its power, was immediately to refresh it, as it were, and restore the smell. In answer to a question from the Coroner, Dr. Leeson said that the effect of mixing prussic acid with sal-am monia would be like giviag the poison and the antidote ; and he considered that the effect would be to entirely neutralise the effect of the prussic acid. He was not prepared to say that the mixture would be perfectly harmless, but certainly the power of the poison would be to a great extent destroyed. The CORONER: I believe, Dr. Leeson, it is pretty well understood that smelling salts, or sal-ammonia, is an antidote to prussic acid?—llr. Leeson: So much so, that a gentleman I know took a large dose of prussic acid on purpose to try the experiment. He had a person stand ing by him when he took the poison, with some strong smelling salts, which were immediately applied to him, and he found no ill effects from the poison. I have net tried the same experiment upon myself, but I have upon dogs. CORONER.—And always with the same result? —Wit ness.—Certainly. He then proceeded• to state that from an analysis of the contents of the stomach of the deceased, a portion of which had been shown to him, he had no doubt they contained prussic acid, and that in consider able quantity. He should state, however, that prussic acid was a poison of such a diffusable character, that it entered the blood and moved through the whole system, and in order to ascertain the actual quantity that had been administered, it would be necessary to distil the entire body. The CORONER remarked, that in the evidence pre viously given by Dr. Stott, he stated that he distinctly discovered the smell of prussic acid in the brain of the deceased. In answer to further questions put by the CORONER, Dr. Leeson said that the result of his investigation was an opinion that a large quantity of prussic acid had been taken by the deceased, and that the bottle which was found in the water-closet had never contained prussic acid. A juror said he should be glad if Dr. Leeson would inform him whether, supposing the deceased had taken the poison herself, it was likely she would have been found in the easy recumbent position in which the wit nesses proved she had been discovered? Dr. Leeson said, he could only inform the jury that in all the cases here he had administered the poison to animals, the effect was to cause them to fall in , tantly to the ground, as though shot. He had never seen the effect upon a human being, but he should imagine it would be some thing similar. In answer to another question put by the Coroner, Dr. Leeson' said that Scheel's prussic acid contained tour per cent. of the real acid, and the prussic acid of the Pharmacopmia only two per cent. The real prussic acid was seldom seen except by the chemist, who might he willing to produce it ; in fact it only existed in the form of gas. The CORONER here remarked, that in consequence of what had occurred at the form( r inquiry, he felt it to be his duty to have the contents of the stomach of the de ceased, and likewise the phial and the matter it con tained, submitted to Dr. Leeson, in order that the jury might have the benefit of his scientific knowledge upon the subject. The jury expressed their satisfaction at the course adopted by the coroner, and said that they considered the evidence given by Dr. Leeson was very important. Mrs. Martha Coste, the wife of a labouring man, near Bromley, was next examined. She deposed, that on Monday night, the 6th of November, 1843, which was the day on which the deceased met her 'death, she was coming to Bromley, at twelve o'clock at night, to fetch her husband home from a club meeting, and as she was passing by the chapel, a man ran by her very fast. He appeared to have come in a direction leading to the chapel, and when she bade him good night, he made no answer. Her brother-in-law was with her at the time. By the JURY.—She was induced to pay particular at tention to the circumstance from the speed at which the man was running, and his not making any answer, when they wished him good night. He appeared to have the flaps of his coat under his arm when he ran by them. James William Churcher, one of the members of the Dissenting congregation, of which the deceased was also a member, was the next witness. He was asked by the Coroner, to state particularly when he first heard of the deceased being missing ? and he stated that so long a time had elapsed, that it was impossible for him to re collect all that occurred. He added, "We all have a clear conscience, and are ready to answer any questions you please." The Coroner replied that there was no desire to at tack his conscience or any other person's. All they wanted was to get to the facts of the case. Mr. Verrall was then re called, and the Coroner said, that on a previous occasion he had stated, that when be saw the deceased in the chapel after the morning service, on the Sunday he referred to, she did not ask him for a testimonial to her character to enable her to get the situ ation at Arundel, but * that h eone addressed to the commi ttee at to know now whether this was still his impression ? Mr Verrall said it was still his opinion that he had not given her any testimonial for the parties at Arundel. The Coroner then read a testimonial addressed to the that did place . not give He her wished to Managing Committee of the School at Arundel, men tioning the deceased, signed " George Verrall." The testimonial, he said, was not in his (Mr. Verrall's) hand writing, but appeared to be a copy, and he wished to know whether he had ever given the deceased such a testimonial. Mr. Verrall said he was almost certain he did not. He did write a testimonial for the deceased to St. Albans, where she had been before trying to obtain a situation, and he thought it very likely the one now read by the coroner was merely a copy of that testimonial. CORONER—Did the deceased, or did she not, in point of fact, on that Sunday apply to you for a testimonial to her character to be sent to Arundel. Mr. Verrall—l think I must have made a mistake on the former occasion, and that she did not apply to me for a testimonial. Thomas Churcher, a relative of the former witness, here addressed the coroner, and with some warmth com plained that Mr. Pearce and Mr. Field had charged him with endeavouring to frustrate the ends of justice by re fusing to state all he knew. He denied that there was any foundation for such a charge, and said that it was one calculated to do him great injury in the town; he hoped the jury would express their opinion whether there was any foundation for the charge. The CORONER said that the officers had been spe cially employed by the Government to make inqui ries, and it was his duty to give all the information in his power, and he understood that he had refused to answer some inquiry that was made of him. Inspector Field said that when he applied to Mr. Churcher, he told him that he had made one statement to Mr. Pearse, and he should not make another. The CORONER said they were pursuing a very im portant inquiry, and it was the duty of ail honest men to give every assistance in their power further the ends of justice. The inquiry was then again adjourned.

One of the most improving and extensive FEE SIMPLE ES TATES in the United Kingdom, containing 50,000 Acres, the greater part situate in the manufacturing district of the county. R. W. W. SIMPSON has the honour to an nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro prietor, and intends to OFFER for SALE by AUCTION, in the ensuing Spring, at the Royal Hotel, in Belfast, The GALGORM or OLENAHERTY, the BRAID and KELLS ESTATES, in the County of A ntr i m. A large portion of these estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys of the River Main, and the Braid and Kells waters. Th e G a i gor . Estate includes the fine mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a considerable sum has been recently expended in valuable improve ments. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about 150 acres of i superior land, in hand. On the property, which embraces a great volume of water-power, there are many extensive bleach greens, beetling and corn mills, in the occupation of wealthy and respect able manufacturers ; and several of the tenantry are engaged in, or connected with the various branches of the linen trade; the ma jority are Protestants, and, in the highly favoured province of Ulster, are remarkable for their industry and intelligence. The bogs attached to the estates are very valuable, and there are exten sive tracts of pasturable and easily reclaimed mountain lands, abundantly stocked with game. The property is in the immediate neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a quarter of a mile of this, the largest inland town in the county, and is only 20 miles distant from Belfast. The entire of the estates includes a surface of aboue 50,000 acres. The Belfast and Ballymena Rail way, the works of which are contracted for, passes through the pro perty, as will also two other railways in contemplation. Particulars are in preparation, and may, in due time, be ob. tained of Messrs. Reeves and Sons, solicitors, Merrion-square, Dublin; at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, 18, Bucklersbury. Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the above valuable estates, wishes to state that a second edition of his pamphlet has been published, on which the "Times" news paper made the following review :—" Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deservedly respected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a pamphlet, entitled ' A Defence of the Land lords oflreland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant, The' Dublin Evening Packet,' in reviewing this work, gives the following account of its author Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman, of vast ex. perience in matters relating to the improvement and value of land in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most com prehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowlege and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly ac quainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much, perhaps, as any man in his time to improve her resources, by en couraging the investment of British capital in every department of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion, on the score either of interest or partiality. His testimony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is unquestionably unimpeachable.' In the COUNTY of DONEGAL, 12 Miles from Londonderry, FEE SIMPLE ESTATE, comprising upwards of 4,100 Acres. 'UR.

SIMPSON has received directions ISJIL from the Proprietor to OFFER for SALE by AUCTION, at the Commercial Buildings, Dublin, in the month of APRIL, A very valuable and desirable FEE SIMPLE ESTATE, situate in the parish of Desertegney, and barony of Ennishowen, 5 mile, from the port and market town of Buncrana, and only 12 from the flourishing city of Londonderry, consisting of the four quarter lands of Ballyanan, Gortlick, Sharragore, and Toneduff, adjoining each other, and comprising numerous townlands, and containing altogether upwards off 4,160 statute acres of superior arable and meadow land, including a large quantity 'of pasturable moor and bog, which is of great Importance to the arable surfaces.

Two gentlemen were seen to range The area of the new exchange ; They'd often met each other there On business and the like affair ; And oft, while pacing to and fro, They'd had a bit of chat, you know. Sometimes the themes on which they'd fix Were Church affairs and politics ; At other times discussion turn'd Where trade and commerce were concern'd. 'Twas thus upon the day in question : They'd many topics for digestion, But that which form'd the greater part Was MOSES' celebrated Mart. The part where we were staying at Enabled us to hear the chat ; And, as we think it worth narration, We'll let you know THE CONVERSATION. " I say," said one, the first who spoke, " I'm told, without a word of joke, That MOSES' house—that mart for raiment, Has positively stopp'd its payment; I trust 'tie some unfounded nOtion, For, sir, 'twill cause a sad commotion. What are your thoughts upon the matter ? D'ye think it's truth, or merely chatter ?" THE REPLY. What !" said the other, rather " popp'd," " MOSES and SON, the tailors, stopp'd Don't name such stuff to me, sir, don't! 1 won't believe it—that I won't: I give at once a contradiction To such a base, malignant fiction. For instance, MOSES, deal with me, And purchase most extensively ; I've bargain'd with that house for years, And never found the least arrears. No—as a merchant I can say They've always ready cash' to pay ; As soon as goods are taken in They're always ready with the ' tin.' Excuse my joke—l can but laugh At such a piece of artful chaff;' This rumour, deubtlees, came from lips Belonging to pretended snips,' Who would rejoice with all their hearts To stop' outright the mart of marts: The tailors find such competition Has plaa'd them in a sad position, And finding that they can't compete With things so mighty—so complete, They spit their spite, in sore vexation, And forge a silly fabrication. These little fellows' of the trade Have many a puny effort made, And, finding that won't do, they try At fabricating—What ? —A lie ! I tell you what, I'd stop their clacks,' I'd, put the cane about their backs. Ha why should I be so put out? MOSES, enjoy the fun, no doubt ; I guess, and I have heard besides, They've laugh'd enough to crack their sides."

The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely baying recourse to other medicines for a long period of years ; she has recommended them extensively, and in one instances n which she induced a person to adoptthem, and supplied the first box herself, they have proved of extraordinary efficacy.

EYE -BROWS, MOUSTACHES, and WHIS KERS produced in a few weeks by using an essential Spirit drawn from choice Aromatic Herbs, tke peculiar properties of which are known only to the Inventor, and although perfectly inno cent in itself, will produce new Hair on bald places, caused by weak ness of constitution, or where Nature has not bestowed this orna ment of the human figure. It has been known to many of the Nobi ity and Gentry upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inven tor most eiucerely thanks for tkeir attestation of its merits, in the certainty of restoring Hair and giving it additional lustre and strength. Its virtues are manifold—it prevents the Hair from fall ing off or turning gray; a few drops on the crown of the head will remove the most distressing pain in that part produced by or at tended with faintness; and is aeknowledgfd by the Faculty as the only specific known to cure that disease of the head called Porigo de calvans (which causes the Hair to come off in patches) ; a few applications removes dandriff.

WELSH MIDLAND RAILWAY. At a MEETING of the inhabitants of the town of SWAN SEA and its vicinity, convened by CHARLES HENRY SMITH, Esq., Mayor of Swansea, in compliance with a requisition for that purpose, and held at the Town-hall, Swansea, on Tnuasney, the 13th day of February, 1 4.46, THOMAS EDWARD THOMAS, Esq., in the chair. Proposed by Captain EVAN MoRGIN, seconded by Mr. WILLIAM WALTERS, and unanimously resolved — That the formation of the Welsh Midland Railway, from Swansea to Worcester, giving to the town and port of Swansea a direct com munication with the Midland District of South Wales, and with Birmingham, Liverpool, and the north and central parts of the island, will be of great public benefit. Proposed by Mr. RICHARD AUBREY, seconded by Mr. MICHAEL JOHN MICHAEL, and unanimously resolved— That the trade and interest of the town of Swansea have long suffered from the want of a more cheap and free communication with the mineral astricts, and the inland parts of the country, and that the advantages of its pori and harbour are such as to insure, not only a more extended export trade from the Welsh Mineral Dis trict but also a general import and export commerce to and from Birmingham and Staffordshire, provided the Welsh Midland line be constructed. Proposed by Mr. LEWIS LLEWELLYN DILLWYN, seconded by.M WILLIAM MARTIN, and unanimously resolved— That the petition to Parliament, in favour of the Welsh Midland Railway, now produced, be adopted by this meeting, and signed, and that the same be forwarded to the Member for Swansea, with a request to him to support the Bill, and that the Members for the county be also requested to support it.

(From the Stamford Mercury.) 50 THOMAS GEE, ESQ., CHAIRMAN OF THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, BOETON. Sir,—l am honoured with your letter requesting to be in formed what course I propose to pursue in reference to the Ministerial measures brought forward by Sir Robert Peel. I entertain feelings of great respect foryou personally, and for the gentlemen connected with the Agricultural Society of which you are chairman, but only a few of them are elec tors of Boston ,• and recollecting the hostile conduct pursued - by them towards me and my supporters at tke last election, - when I stated my desire to afford protection to the landed, interest by advocating a fixed duty, I scarcely expected that they would have addressed me upon this question; more especially as I cannot be classed among those Members - of Parliament (of which the county of Lincoln presented such - • early and striking examples) who, having obtained their' seats upon the strength of reiterated pledges to oppose all aa change in the then existing corn-law, took the first oppor- - tuhity of betraying their constituents, by supporting, if not • suggesting, the alterations which immediately afterwards took place! Circumstances have now, however, occurred to render hopeless the chance of maintaining a fixed duty, which might have been obtained had party feeling not blinded the agri cultural classes to the advantages of Lord John Russell's - proposition. The Government still repudiates the principle of a fixed duty; the Opposition generally have become the: advocates of unrestricted trade; arid a number of the agri- - cultural party support the measures now before Parliament; , while a section of that party refuse to accede to any relaxa tion of the present law. In this state of things, I venture to think it becomes the • duty of every independent Member, on both sides of the House, to consid er we ll th e ascertained results of that course of commercial policy for the proposal of which Lord John - Russell and the Whigs were driven from office by the landed : t interest, to make way for Sir Robert Peel and the Conserva tives, aa a who are now so successfully carrying out that policy; and'• in connexion with such results to weigh the oonser• ' quences likely to ensue from the adoption or rejection of the present proposals of the Government. It must be evident to every unprejudiced mind that no ! thing but an overwhelming necessity could have iaiiiced the present Cabinet so soon to propose an abolition of - Me corn- Jaw ;—and I confess that the facts stated and t s .arguments used by the Prime Minister upon his intr. 11411 of the mew \ are, /tad his illustrations of the eati Its of the J prer_ous cornniercial relaxations, have convinc: me that the intended changes will be productive of immense social and other advantages to all classes of the community, without inflicting any permanent injury upon the agricultural interests, which I desire to see prosperou s and flourishing, and maintaining the high position which they are justly entitled to hold in this country. I have therefore determined to support the Government in the gradual abolition of the corn-laws, rather than hazard by my vote the success of the present measure, and thereby force an immediate repeal ; and I sincerely hope that, for these reasons, the course I am about to pursue will be satis factory to your Society, as I trust it will be to ithe constitu ency of Boston, who have uniformly expressed their appro bation of my public conduct as their representative in Parlia ment.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your faithful humble servant, JAMES DUKE. London, Feb. 11, 1846. HIGHLAND SOCIETY of CANADA• (From the Cornwell Observer and Eastern and Ottawa dld- vertiser, Jan. 22.) A meeting of the Highland Society of Canada was held at Ranald M'Donald's Inn, Williamstown, on Wednesday, the 14th January, 1846—present, the Hon. John M'Gillivray, President, Alex, M'Donell, Esq., D. A. C. G. M'Nabb, Rolland M'Donald, Archibald M'Bean, Alexander M'Bean, James M'Cracken, George M'Donell, Duncan M'Donald. David M'Pherson, A. Cattanach, Alexander H. M'Donell, Dr. Roderick M'Donell, John M'Bean, Kenneth M'Donell, Hugh M'Gillis, John Neil M'Lean—when several new members were proposed and balloted for, and after their elec tion the committee appointed at the last meeting of the Society to draft an address to Lord Metcalfe, the chief of the Society, on hisleaving the country, reported the following:— ADDRESS TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE CHARLES THEOPHILUS, LORD MItTCALFE, BARON METCALFE OF FERN HILL, LN THE COUNTY OF BEERS, KNIGHT GRAND CROSS OF THE MOST HONOURABLE ORDER OF THE BATH, ONE OF HER MA JESTY'S MOST HONOURABLE PRIVY COUNCIL, AND LATE GOVENNOR - GENERAL OF BRITISH NORTH AMERICA, &C. May it please your Excelleney,—When your Lordship was graciously pleased to mark your approbation of the aim and object of "the Highland Society of Canada," by consenting to become "The chief" of the Society, its members fondly hoped that you would'have been spared to them and to the country for many years, but Providence has ruled it other , wise, and though we bew to the decree as in duty bound, we trust that it will not be thought presumptuous in us to say, that we do so in sorrow and regret. Though resident many miles from the seat of Government there are many among us (some of whom have had the ad vantage of a personal intercourse with your Lordship, who would gladly hays availed themselves of the opportunity of personally bidding your Lordship adieu, on the eve of your departure from the shore of Canada, but unfortunately it had actually taken place before they were aware of the intention. The members of the Society cannot, however, allow the opportunity afforded by their assembling together, on the oc casion of their annual festival, to pass away, without for warding to their revered " chief" the spontaneous expression of their unfeigned regret at his departure, and their lively sympathy with the severe sufferings which compelled him to take a step which has entailed so great a loss upon the Pro vince. The members of the Highland Society have read your Lordship's touching address to the people of Canada, aid their hearts have thrilled with emotion while they read, and if the assurance, that your Lordship's " honest endeavours to promote the welfare of this Province" are appreciated by its people, and will be remembered with gratitude by their latest posterity, be calculated to assuage one single pang of your sufferings, wo pray your Lordship, in all sincerity, to receive that assurance at r ur hands. We now bid your Lordship farewell, fervently hoping, that under Divine Providence, the air of your native land, and the withdrawal from the cares and anxieties of Government may yet prolong your valuable life, in mercy to the poor of mankind, whose abiding friend you have ever been, and whose blessings will follow your footsteps to the grave. Glengarry, January 14, 1846. When it was moved by George M'Donald, Esq., seconded by John M'Bean, Esq., that the address just reported be adopted, that the same be signed by the president and secretary on behalf of the Society, that it be forwarded to J. M. Higginson, Esq., to be transmitted to England, and that copies be sent the Cornwall Observer and 3fontreal Herald newspapers for publication. It was then moved by the president, seconded by A. Catta naeh, Esq., that the thanks of the meeting be conveyed to the members of the committee, appointed to draft the ad dress to Lord Metcalfe, our chief, for the able manner in which they - discharged the duties imposed upon them. James M'Cracken, Esq., moved, seconded by the president, that this meeting do adjourn to the 18th June next, if that day do not fall on Sunday, and if it fall on Sunday, then to the 19th June, 1846. JOHN NEIL WLEAN, Secretary H. S. of C. LOSS OF THE STEADFAST AND AR ETHUSA, Magdalen Islands, Dec. 26, 1845. Sir,—When I last wrote to you 1 advised the report of a ship being* on shore at Brion Island, since which that report has been continued by apart of the crew having reached me. She proves to be the chip Steadfast, John Adams, master, from Quebec, bound to ltristol, tinabe r and deal laden. The captain and five of the crew remain there for the purpose of caring the materials, &c. I have also to repoit the loss of the barque Arethusa, of Maryport, Win. Lester, master, from Montreal, bound to Plymouth, flour and wheat laden, abandoned by the crew in their long boat on the evening of the 7th December, when about 30 miles N.T. of the Magdalen Islands, and landed on Brion Island the following even ing, all of the crew being so severely frozen they will have to re main here during the winter. I have also ftirther to acquaint you that Brien Island is not in habited, and from the exhausted state in which the latter craw landed, being unable to save their boat and without provisions, every soul must have inevitably perished had they not fortunately mat the crew of the former ship still there.--I have the honour to be your obedient servant, (Signed) LLOYD'S AGENT. W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's. The agent to Lloyd's, at Portland, United States, referring to the barque Mary, of London, having got on shore near Bailey'," Mistake in November last, states that a practice exists amongst theng and American masters of vessels bound to that port, seeki ng :d i from Indirect sources rather than to the authorised persons, such as the Consul-General, &c. To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is proposed.—Whyd r o si al ded l tl T ie a ti bl r e s t t R c a ti z t o le r rs st o r f op?

Manufactory, 25, Strand, IS GLAMORGANSIHRE SATISFIED WITH THE PRO ( POSED MINISTERIAL MEASURES ?—Whatever opinions in dividuals might entertain respecti ng th e a l terations proposes by Sir Robert Peel in the po corn, as well as other im portant reductions are made in the duties on various articles of general consumption, we conceive that the above question, as it regards the opinions of the inhabitants of this impor tant county, taken collectively as a whole, may be easi:y and satisfactorily answered. If we refer to the feelings of the extensive manufacturing and commercial interests of Swansea, Neath, and the immediate vicinities the senti ments entertained in reference to this subject have been attested by demonstrations made since the enunciation A the Government scheme, as well as on repeated occasioas previously. The same Aservations may be applied to tie extensive iron districts of Merthyr, Sirhowy, and other placed situated in the Glamorganshire hills, which about(' in riches hitherto but partially developed. The mea sures, we repeat, have met a reception on the part of tie inhabitants of these portions of the county, the meaning A which is not to be mistaken. The opinions of the inhabi tants of the agricultural districts must be collected by a kind of negative process ofreasoning—not by inquiring what they have done, but what they have not done, and com paring this with what they have done on former occasions. There have been no demonstrations against the measere throughout the county. With regard to the opinion of :he enant-farmers of this district, we can safely aver that the majority have heard of the proposed changes with much satis faction, only regretting that this question, which has been so long a topic of ill-will and dissension between various classes, is not to be more speedily terminated by immediate abolition. Taking into consideration all these circumstances, we imagine the question with which this article commences cam, without fear of contradiction, be answered in the affirmative, that, on the whole, Glamorganshire is satisfied with the Ministerial measures.— Cambrian. SUDDEN DEATH OF THOMAS PERKINS, ESQ.--Yes terday morning the inhabitants of Chelmsford were startled by the awful information that this esteemed gentleman had died suddenly, at his residence in the Broomfleld-road. Ile attended divine service on Sunday, and while walking in his garden in the afternoon, stated that he felt better than usual ; between eight and nine o'clock Yell terday morning, when the servant went to his dressing-room to give him his letters, he was lying upon the floor partly dressed, as if he had sat down in his chair and had slipped from ft ; and when Dr. Miller and Mr. Cromer, who were instantly called in, arrived, they found lie was lifeless. The awfUl occurrence has spread a gloom over the town, as the lamented gentleman, who was about sixty years of age, had resided here for thirty-six years; and both in his profession and in private life was esteemed by all for his honour and integrity, and for the peaceful and !neighbourly cast and benevolence of his character. Exactly two months since we recorded the decease of Mrs. Perkins, and while yet the void which she has left in the charities of the town is keenly felt, and the sorrow for her portedloss ls afrnedsli encouraged, we have [to, her r d i d n to thatit thiswer work vt o pt , ,g 1 On c a l i e yt death of 0 afternoon, er i rn i s i o m ,i N nt v i, h th o as ui o l. iii.; for both the confidence and respecatsnopfralTolcuelro,uidnngd them.--Ess ex Herald. through f St. Clement's E c e N l c a d E i e .
