FORESTER. DEATH OF THE HON. MAJOR ADJOURNED INQUEST. /a Saturday week an inuest was opened at the H-ad Tavern, Margaret-street, Cavendish square, w the Coroner for Middlesex, and a aly respectaole jury. relative to the death of tae Hon. tjor Forester, who had died suddenly on the previous e d„,-i s y night at his town residence, in Cavendish , ism From the position of the deceased the inquiry ars lly sassed some excitement in the neighbourhood, she room was very much crowded. The Hoe. Cecil Forester, deceased's brother, sub , Iptroller of her Majesty's household, and lieutenant onel in the Horse Guards, said the deceased returned y ill from Ireland; on Thursday witness was hastily • umoned to deceased's residence from the Regent's ix Barracks, but deceased had died before witness ived. John Milky, deceased's valet, said that for seven weeks deceased suffered greatly from pains in the loins aad mach; at first Dr. Chapman attended him, but sub ,uently discontinued his attendance. After eating a alp breakfast on Wednesday morning he started for City at half-past ten, returning home in a cab about ..f -past twelve. He was so ill that he had to be carried to his room. The pains through his body were fright fni, and he took a hot bath; after which he lay on the s , :fa. At two o'clock witness went out with the carriage 'l , ith Lady Forester, when his master gave hint a pre ription to be made up at Savory and Moore's, Bond- The medicine, with syringe, was sent immediately. is.t eve o'clock his master rang the bell violently, when itness found him sitting at the foot of the bed. He de -ired witness to get thirty grains of Dover's powder, ..7hich was refused him without a written order. De i..,ased then requested her Ladyship to write an order for grains, which he ordered witness to get with another I 4tle of the mixture, as he had taken the first. In giving t. medicine Mr. Savory cautioned witness to tell his • ster that the powder contained three doses. At nine e look his master had a cup of tea, and witness heard no 1:2 re until he was summoned by his master's bell, when • master told him that there weuld be no prayers that ht, and that he might go to bed. But many minutes d. I not elapse ere another violent ringing of the bell a,- lin summoned him, and upon entering the sitting ✓ Joa, her Ladyship directed him to fetch the nearest t Heal man. Witness accordingly called on Dr. Halley. • then having gone for Madame Beaumann, remained .h his master until he expired. By the Coroner—,Deceased took the medicine and used the syringe just before his tea. Deceased, himself, generally got his medicines, such as laudanum, &e. Witness here produced one of de c eased's prescriptions: which was as follows: " two drachms of sedativesreelo a tic Ti of opium, half a drachm of camphorated tincture f v t am, two drachms of muciliage of gam acacia ,twent y tili.leMS of spirit of camphor (to be used for injec- Lwi) H. D." Alexander Halley, M.D., member o f the College of Surgeons, 14, Queen Anne-street, deposed " that s: he .. per was called to see the deceased, and fou nd him pir and apparently asleep, the pupils of his eyes con . trading perfectly to light , and were 113 a half dilated awe." Witness—" No stertorou s breathing. Post mortem examination—" The blood was found el , )tted in the heart, but in the head it was found fluid. The lungs congested. The bladder was f oun d con • ,ted at its trigone. The mucous membrane Ru in 4 . the prostate perfectly healthy, but a short de,tance from the neck of the bladder there was al. irritable spot about the size of half a pea, • :h oongestion around, which was likely to give • , 0 t o a constant desire to pass water. No stric t, ee, no portion of the mucous membrane was in the • ,htest abraded ; n or could i t be referred to any cause, r the delicate membrane which lines the methra was i' no way abraded." Witness—" I attribute death to an overdose of a nar eotic, an over•effect of opium. There was no smell in ehe contents of the stomach of opium—was not any :i?go, of any poison. No direct evidence that opium had Mete in the body by injection or otherwise. I never weird or knew of such a thing as opium causing death ere!er such circumstanees! Quite contrary to all me dival experience." Ooroner's statement—" Nor did I in all my life!!!" Witness—" I should say, on the whole, that is after heuxieg the evidence of every party, coupled with my own observation and post mortem examination, that it ova:; not opium that produced death. I should not even have suspected opium to have caused death." Alexander Shaw, surgeon to the Middlesex Hos p4al—" I cannot tell what in this case was the cause of de--th; I have nothing to form the opinion upon." The inquest was then adjourned until Tuesday, the • - instant. [he adjourned inquest was held yesterday morning. The CORONER, addressing the jury, said,--Gentlemen, y•Jii will recollect that this inquest was adjourned from Sz!turday, the 18th instant, to this day, at your unani xuJus request, in consequence of what you considered to be the imperfect state of the evidence at the time; and it was your wish that a further evanination of the body should be made, that the Wood should be analysed, and that other witnesses should be called. We have now assembled again in pur suance of that adjournment; and I believe all the other witnesses required by you are in attendance, ready to gl, - e evidence on this occasion. The first witness called was arly Forester, who was accompanied by her noble father the Earl of Roden, her sister, and her brother-in law the Hon. Colonel Forester. She deposed as fol. lows:—Major Forester was my husband. He was 40 years of age. On Tuesday week last the Major's health was as usual, and we went out together, when he met his brother, Colonel Cecil Forester. ten the following day the Major was not well, and com • plained of illness, and after breakfast he went out be tween eleven and twelve o'clock, saying that he was giag into the City by an omnibus. He returned home to Cavendish-square about two o'clock, and complained eel, much of a pain in his inside. I was not with him &ring the rest of the day, because I went out, but I returned about half-past three o'clock, and he had token a warm bath before I went out. On my re turn I found him lying on the sofa, and in the course of tle3 afternoon, about eight o'clock, I gave him some medicine. It was a Dover's powder. I gave him a more than half a paper, a whole paper being, I "teve, 13 grains. I did not see him take a'•7 other medicine, but I understand he took 'Tle more afterwards. We took tea together about half-past eight, at which time he seemed better, and did not compl ain at all, indeed he said he was quite com fertable, only rather sick, and he remained so when the tea things were removed. He then lay down on the sofa and began to perspire very much, asking me at the same time to give him some toast and water, which id, and then sent for a clean shirt to change the one he had on, as it was very wet with perspiration. I afterwards directed the servant to warm his bed, and then asked him to go to bed, but he said he felt so com fortable on the sofa that he should stay there a little loeger, adding that he was then quite re lieved from all pain, and he thanked God for all his me rcies. I then began U to change his his head fell down shirt, and whilst. I was doing i so a quarterbaenfiethenteoe,osilleow 1 ) . 1} ?w , be anc i l ,:f drawing the between the sofa and the blanket round him, he begged to so, and fell o'clock. as:eep. This was about Ile remained lying between the sofa snaring for a short while, making ase up and with his throat, and once he started. me d and run; looked so wildly round that I became alarmed, bell violently. When the servant ca me ap I dire cted hint to go for the nearest doctor, and s hortly afterward s the servant ret urne d w ith D r . Halley- The Major never spoke to me afterwards, nor did he to t h e doctor, for now he was qu i te i nsens ibl e . D r . Halley took off his coat, and remarking that he was uncomf orta bly placed, the doctor lift e d hi m up and placed him on the sofa, With his head on th e pill ow , an d i n that position he re rceined till he died. Dr. Hall e y, b e i ng reca ll e d , state d t h at according to the directions of the coroner, he had again examined the body and collected as much blood from the heart, seleen, and liver as ho possibly could. He had 'previously received the stomach and its contents, a Id now he collected the blood and contents of the rec. tone and bladder. He had received no portion of the lifer, but got as much blood from it as he could, about t,',o ounces and a half. The contents of the stomach and he collected blood he placed in two separate jars, which h" sealed up, and then depo s it e d th em in a sea l e d b ox , which he afterwards handed over to Mr. Rogers. Mr • Rogers , surgeon. Professor of Chemistry and Ini je o V er at St. George's School of Medicine, exa - Which " I received a box from the deputy-coroner, in eon tentserB contained the stomach, the bladder, their °as° the contents of the rectum. The box was sealed u ,an d was opened by Dr. Halley in my pre sence. I examined the whol e of the contents, and sub rutted them to chemical analysis, separately and dis tinctly. I band the stomach in a state of rapid decom position. I washed it, and added the washing to the contents of the stomach, which I had in another jar. I found no appearances in the stomach from which I could d ra w nany inference. I then subjected the contents of the stomach to trace analysis, and I found there mceeonie acid, but no trace o f , morphia. The con. teeits of the rectum I also examined and I found there traces both of meeconic acid and of merphia. seemmined the bladder and .the urethra also. There dto be no signs of old disease, though there was con siderable re d ness i n one portion of it, ~„„4 a great deal of vascularity in the commencement of the peeterier, immediately behind the prostate gland. Anterior to the prostate, also, there was considerable redness, but no vascularity. This extended about half the le ngth of the ur e th ra . I did not see any woun d , an d no destruction of surface, except a small black spot, which however was easily removed, and there was no disease under it. I should say that it was merely a little furred blood. The intetFity of the mucous membrane was quite main. V dned. I also submitted the contests of the bladder, which were about ai ounces, to very care ful analysis ; I d iscovered there decided indications of morphia. Be sides the test of nitric acid I submitted them to another teste e 'which is not very generally known. I took some bicromate of potass, and after applying it to the contents of the stomach they immediately became green, and as morphia is the only acid which will turn bicromato of ipotesi green, I immediately inferred from that that there was morphia present in the contents of the bladder. In order to show that it was something foreign to the urine which had caused this moult, I also took some urea and some urine, and ap plied the biesotnate of potass to them, but they did not produce the same result. I could not form any opinion as to the way in which the morphia had been introduced the into the stomach. I al so exam in e d a quantity of blood, small about oz. 6dr I purified • thi n it from every one g sue "wades l morphia, . if there had been any there, "lad 'vet only very small traces, not sufficient THE SUN, to enable me to give a very positive opinion on the subject. When I applied nitric acid there was a very slight yellowing, that was all. In the quantity of blood which I examined there could not have been more than the 2.000 th part of a grain. The physical q iality of the bhod was quite destroyed, and 'he globules broken d iwn. I examined a p >rtion of the enema, and I found there met, amic acid ant morphia. The packet of Dover's powder which was handed to me I also examined, and I found it to be what I represent it to be. From the re sult of my examination I have no hesitation in stating it as my opinion that opium had been taken by the de ceased. An ordinary dose of opium, in the form of laudanum, is from 15 to 40 minims. I am not aware of the exact composition or the strength of Batley's liquor opii sedativus. Opium introduced into the rectum acts by absorption into the blood. Authorities differ as to whether it acts more or less powerfully than when taken into the mouth. From my own experience I have generally found that it acts very well, but that introduced by the rectum it re quires a larger dose to produce the same effect. When ordered as an injection, it is generally taken with a quantity of mucillage or gruel, and in small quantities, say loz, or lioz., the object being that it should be re tained, and therefore produce the desired effect. In that case the laudanum generally chm. on sists of from about d ra chm to drachm. According to some authorities, there are threegraainnds of opium in a drachm of laudanum; according to others, five grains. From the evidence which I have heard, from the results of my own examination, my opinion is that the deceased's death was caus ed by theeff . effects of morphia. Another reason why theentertain stomach this is, from the peculiar manner which decomposed, and from the smell .which it emitted, both of which appearances I have noticed in several cases of suspected poisoning by opium. I have afterwards dis covered traces of opium in the stomach. The largest dose of opium that I have ever known injected into the rectum is 2 drachms, and that was in case of colic some years ago; bat it was not in such a concentrated form, bat was given in a pint of liquid. the inquiry might hth e thoughthr brought The Coll o/ass said the case was now b roug ht w ithi n a very narrow he and u i g f h M t to r a speedy Mr. Dawson close.was examined, Mr. Dawson said he should like to make a statement, if the coroner would allow hi m . The CORONER said he should have no objection, and I r . Richard Dawson, M.D., having been sworn, he read the following statement to the coroner and jury : Major Forester called upon me in July at the request of his physician, Dr. Chapman, to obtain my opinion upon his case. On the 21st of the same month I forwarded a written opinion to Dr. Chapman, stating my belief that the constant desire to empty the bladder, and the frequent calls to go to stool, which the Major had been suffering from for so long a period, were in a great measure owing to the irritable state of the pros tate gland, and that I thought it was a case that would be greatly benefited by warm baths, the direct applica tion of chloride of zinc, and the injection of compound gall ointment into the lower bowel. In answer to this communication, Dr. Chapman informed me that his patient had been ill for many years, and had been at very great expense in procuring medical assistance, considerations which would probably prevent him placing himself under my care. I therefore offered to attend him without fees. He was anxious to become my patient, for he knew that I had cured a Major, who had been obliged to sell out of the army in consequence of suffering from an irritable prostate. " When Major Forester first visited me, he was obliged to come in a carriage and to sit upon a soft cushion. His health improved, till at length he was able to walk to my house. I saw him almost every day for nearly two months, and he expressed himself as feeling very much better. On the 15th of this month he complained of a peculiar pain in his head, and said that he felt generally unwell, which he attributed to the intelligence of the sudden death of the Duke of Wellington, (which it may be re membered was announced on that morning,) having pro duced a great desire to pass water, an effect usual with him when he heard any unpleasant intelligence. But being in an omnibus, he was unable to yield to the calls of nature, and he informed me that he felt as if he should die. At my house he passed water and relieved his bowels, but still suffered severely from spasmodic pains. I advised him to return home immediately in a cab, and I prescribed an anodyne enema, one-half of which I directed him to use immediately ho reached home, which I expected would be about one o'clock, and I requested him to use the remaining half about six in the evening, provided the bowels acted immediately after using the first, which is a very usual occur rence, and that he still continued in pain. This advice as it appears from the evidence he followed. It also appeared from the evidence that the greater portion of the first enema was wasted on the carpet, and certainly half of the second enema remained in the bottle. It is important to remember that the bottle produced in evidence was never fall, for the in jection I ordered consisted only of five drachms, and the bottle would hold nearly twice this quantity (the bottle was produced). It is also important to inform the jury that the Major had been in the habit for some time past of using an injection of the compound gall ointment, which contains opium, three or four times a day, to re lieve the urgent desire to pass urine, and the constant desire to go to stool, which he had suffered from for so many years. " In ordering the enema, which I prescribed for the Major, containing two drachms and a half, I always cal culate that a great portion must be wasted when the patient, as in this case, injected it himself. I will illus trate what I mean, for the information of the jury. " But I am willing to admit in this case that the quan tity I ordered was all injected in the manner I pre scribed, and I will now prove that it was not only a safe remedy, but a proper application. Dr. Chriatison, who is one of the first authorities in Europe upon this subject, states at page 630 of his work that it is the custom to give twice as much opium in an injection as in a draught. I have given,' says this authority, by injection, without producing more than the usual drowsiness, two drachms by measure of laudanum.' Dr. Paris, another eminent authority, at p. 175 of his work states that where our object is to allay pain and relax spasm, small doses of opium will have a tendency to aggravate the symptoms, but when administered in large doses they will speedily . relieve.' I attended a case with Professor Ferguson in the Albany-road, Stoke Newington, where the patient had suffered for years se verely from irritation of the prostate. We found nothing to relieve him so much as opiate injections. I attended another case with Mr. Partridge, the surgeon to King's College Hospital. The patient had lived in a warm cli mate, and suffered from organic stricture, which was frequently attended with retention of urine, which injec tions containing a drachm of liquor opii sedativus seldom failed to relieve. I myself had the misfortune to suffer from an irritable prostate attended with retention of urine, and nothing relieved me so much as the opiate injection; and there are two medical gentlemen in court who attended me with Mr. Ferguson who can confirm this statement, for they injected the enema." The doctor added, in conclusion, that although he had attended the deceased fora considerable time he never received any fee or reward for it whatever. The CORONER—Now tell, if you please, what is your belief as to the cause of death, which is the real object of our inquiry? Dr. Dawson said he could not answer that question, as he was not suffered to be present at the post mortem examination, bat it was net at all anusal for per sons suffering from the disease of the urethra and blad der to die suddenly, especially after any powerful mental emotion, the symptoms of approaching death being generally those of drunkenness and stupor. The Major was not in perfect health as had been represented, but had been suffering from disease for many years. 'he CORONER—You have not told us now what is Y e opinion as the cause of death? Dr. Dawson— re eehetvt it is impossible for me to give an opinion, a not which ti o n,l,il unusual. %I d ti) of urine th e b the least of it, was most beepresent,. and discovered the smell t h at t h e t au ppur f.a,ul, then I might have positively said urine was the cause of death, but p irt.

He did not think the ~ .t . l. similar .that had been found in the body ot " t tile 4y of opium sufficient to account for death, and thereforeoeased was the more inclined to attribute it to the di sease, he was The CORONER—You are inclined,. then, Doctor, refer the death to the action of the disease. Dr. ve to na bles—Yes; and I think Dr. Prout lineations in his work several cases of a similar nature; at least, he has told me so, and his experience, therefore, accords W i th my own. Dr. Samuel Mason was the next witeess examined. The CORONER—Dr. Mason, have you beard the evi dence that has been given to-day? Dr. Mason-74 have. The CORONER—Hare you formed any opinion as to the cause of the death of this gentleman ? Dr. Mason—l have not. I think it is excessively ambi guous; but what strikes me as being most remarkable is, that Dr. Halley should have been called in at eleven o clock, and yet not be able to discover that the deceased was suffering from the effects of opium. Had the de ceased been suffering from the effects of opium Dr. Hal ley must have perceived it at once, and would not have left him. The CORONER—You say, then, that you can form no opinion as to the cause of death? Dr. Mason—l can only give a qualified opinion; my impression is from the evi dence I have heard the death is very much referrible to disease of the urethra, but still it is very ambiguous --it is very doubtful. T he CORONER—Death is referrible, then, to the ure thra disease? Dr. Mason—Combined with the effects of I"clislit, because there has been a partial effect of opium, u gh not at a ll t o an extent sufficient to accocnt for death. Dr. Sh aw being of the evidence , he said, having heard th e w h o l e ,he was inclined to attribute the death to an overdose of opium, but the case was full of am biguity, and he could give no positive opinion on the subject. It was not impossible for persons to die of the .t i the urinary disease with the same symptoms as would d by an overdose of opium.

Dr. Halley—l feel in the eme position as Dr. LONDON, Shaw. The case is very ambiguous throughout, and therefore I should not like to give a positive opinion upon it. This was the whole of t he evidence. :;; Esith' i n summing up. said that there was no f, d o se of opium which bad b een pre . T d h o e ub C t ° R t scribed by Dr. Dawson had not been considered by him g reat, as in fact he hid di recte d t h at i t should g rOO betaken in mottles. That dir ection h a d not b een as beira followed by the deceased, who, on the contrary, had taken the whole dose, and in addition to that, had also sent for another bottle, two-thirds of which he had used, so that it appeared that the unfortunate gentleman had absorbed in his system, from half-past 4to 3 o'clock, no less than eight or nine grains of opium. In all these cases there could be no desire on t h e par t o f any one to h bear ul dh be a seh in this kind, but it was of enor mousthese cases that the truth and if death had been caused s o misfortunev a a l rl known, against any b o dy i n consequence o f any of by medicine, or by inadvert ence , or by i gnorance , or carelessness, that the fact should be known in order that other fatal results should be prevented. In this case, presuming that Dr. Dawson had stated what occurred when he saw the patient, there was nothing in the quantity ordered by Dr. Dawson that was of a dan gerous character. It appeared when the prescription was written and handed to Major Forester that he was told to use one-half of what was ordered immediatelyon his return home; and if that quantity was dis charged from his bowels at once by the ac tion of the intestines, and if the pain continued, the second half was to be used about seven o'clock in the evening. Now, it certainly did appear, from the evidence, k that, instead of following the directions given, Major Forester used the whole quantity about half-past four o'clock, and before tea time, which was between eight and nine o'clock, he used two-thirds of another bottle, there being in fact 7 or 8 grains of opium absorbed into his system within the space of three hours and a half. Besides, there would be contained in the half packet of Dover's powder which he took about three-quarters of a grain of opium, and there was an article inithe prescription, half a drachm of camphorated tincture of opium, which would contain about one-eighth of a grain of opium; so that this unfortunate gentleman had in him at that time sufficient opium, to kill any man. They had just heard the conflicting statements of the medical men ; in fact, he could hardly call them conflicting, because they were to the effect that they could form no certain opinion on the cause of the death, and he was afraid the jury would have to come to the same conclusion. He hardly knew what else to advise them to do, because in these cases they must be guided by the evidence that was laid before them, or otherwise there would be no security for anybody. In consequence of an interruption from Colonel Forester, the valet of the deceased gentleman was called in, and, on being examined, stated that some part of the first enema was wasted on the floor, and a groat quan tity of the second. The CORONER said it was useless to go into these mat ters, as the medical gentlemen had been unable to form any opinion as to the cause of the death, and the jury could adopt no other course but come to the same conclusion. All he could advise them to do was to state that the unfortunate gentleman died on the day named, but they had not sufficient evidence be fore them to show the cause of his death. That was the safest course he thought they could pursue. Mr. Rogers certainly gave it as his opinion that death was caused by opium; but, on the contrary, a multitude of other medical gentlemen had said that there was extreme ambiguity in the case. With regard to Dr. Dawson, he was put out of the category of com plaint in consequence of his having directed the unfor tunate gentleman to take only halt the prescription at once. The only blame that could be attached to him was for not having written his directions, which certainly was an error. Had those directions been written no ground of complaint could have existed against that gentleman. Dr. Dawson explained that the deceased had been so long in the habit of using the injection that he did not consider it necessary to give him written directions, and besides the deceased had a great personal dislike to having his directions written on the prescription. The jury then retired, and after a short consultation, returned with the following verdict: —" That the de ceased died from the effects of opium incautiously ad ministered by himself in the absence of written instruc tions from his medical attendant." The jury were then discharged. FRANCE. The following telegraphic dispatches have reached Paris during yesterday : " The Prince " MhaAs R ja S s E t I h L e L a E r dS mass, 26 T i: t S t E h P e T C . , a 9 t h A e . d m r . a l .

The inhabitants accompanied him to the place of embarkation with cries a thousand times repeated of Viva l'Empereur I" Vive Napoleon III.:' The indignation against the miscreants implicated in the plot to assassinate his Highness was general, and in creased the enthusiasm which the presence of the Prince excited everywhere." By decrees of the Prince President, dated Grenoble, the 22d, signed on the report of the Minister of War, the laws relative to savings banks are declared appli cable to Algeria, and a savings bank at Algiers is authorised. No change worthy of notice has taken place in the trade of Paris during the week that has just expired. Generally speaking a good deal of activity prevails in the manufacturing establishments, and there are a few houses where the bands are insufficient to complete the orders they have received. The cabinet-makers of the Faubourg St. Honore, in par ticular, are busily engaged in executing commissions for England, Spain, and Russia, and it is stated that the commands already executed for these countries are double as compared with the corresponding month of last year. The shopkeepers of the capital have not much cause for complaint, inasmuch as the number of foreigners now in Paris is more than enough to sup ply the place of the usual residents who have not returned from the country. It is, however, from the northern departments that the loudest complaints are heard, in consequence of the suspension of commercial relations between France and Belgium, and considering the quantity of Belgian coal they were in the habit of using in their works, the loss incurred by the imposition of an increased import duty on that article must be great. The Pays has the following on the plot against the life of the Prince President : "It is with a feeling of extreme grief and deep indig nation that Europe will learn that there still exists a race of factions men, so degraded and so perverse as to make themselves assassins, and demanding, from instru ments of vengeance and destruction, which cannot have a more appropriate name than that of infernal machines, the odious triumph of we know net what doctrines, which lido not belong to any party, any more than to any people. One would think, for the glory of humanity, which is dishonoured by such monsters, that in the fury which arms their murderous hands there is more madness than ferocity. And, nevertheless, what a refinement in crime, what a fright ful skill in that machine which, in order to more surely reach one man, would deal death among thousands of citizens! What a depth of perversity! More fortu nate than it was fifty years ago—when the Emperor Napoleon, then First Consul, nearly perished in Paris, in the height of his power and renown, the victim of a similar attempt—the authorities pre vented the explosion of the infernal machine at Mar seilles. The danger which threatened the life of Prince Louis Napoleon only makes the nation better under stand how thankful it ought to be to Providence for having raised him up in days of anarchy, to save us from the abyss towards which we were proceeding hour by hour, impelled by the wind of February. It is at this moment that we must more particularly feel how closely the destinies of France are connected with the life and the power of the nephew of the Emperor. If the impious hand of the assassin had ravished Prince Louis Napoleon from the love of the populations who flock together on his passage, what a blank would have been left in the State! Who could dare to coolly measure the extent of the loss? Who could dare to calculate the frightful consequences of such a catastrophe? But God, who protects France, hos caused the defeat of the conspiracy of the south. Let us bless him for having preserved the august Prince, who alone can give us a long future of repose and of prosperty." POST-OFFICE NOTICE. MONEY ORDERS.

This was an attachment under the custom of London against Catherine Hayes, the celebrated singer, to recover the sum of 3,0001., due to Thomas Frederick Beale. The attachment was made of money belonging to the defendant, in the hands of the Union Bank of London. Mr. Ryland and Mr. Locke appeared for the plain• tiff, and called Richard Houghton, assistant manager of the bank, who proved that they had upwards of 3,0001. in their hands, the property of the lady. Neither the gar nishee nor the defendant appeared by counsel, and a verdict was found for the plaintiff for 3,0001. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Two well-dressed young men, John Gosney: 23, William-street, Regent's-park, and George 7'ayton, 30, Bridgewater-street, Somers-town, were brought before Mr. Broughton, charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct in the Zoological-gardens, Re gent's-park, and with wantonly injuring a badger, by administering to it some gin. William Nixey, 19, Windsor-street, City-road, deposed, that on the previous afternoon, about four o'olock, he was in the gardens, and saw the prisoners, one of whom (Gosney) gave some gin from a bottle to a wolf, after which he gave the animal a biscuit, and then threw some gin into its mouth. He then gave some of the like spirit to an Esquimaux dog, by throwing it from a glass ; and in addition to these freaks he offered a piece of biscuit to a badger. Upon the animal opening its mouth to seize the morsel he introduced therein the neck of the bottle, from which no doubt a quantity of gin had passed down the animal's throat ; it rolled and floundered about its cage, and he (Gosney) then struck a blow at it between the wires, the consequence of which was that the bottle broke, and a portion of the frag ments went into the cage. The prisoners were both drunk. Mr. John Thompson, superintendent of the gar dens, said he did not witness the administering of the gin, but he had seen the badger since ; it did not ap pear to have been hurt. At the station-house the prisoners, who were the worse for drink, were ex tremely abusive. Croome, 176 S, stated that he took the prisoners into custody, and that they said they were not aware they had done any harm. Gosnay was very abusive, and aimed a blow at witness, but fortunately he avoided it. Gosney, in answer to the charge, denied having aimed any blow at the officer, and said that he did not out of any ill-feeling give gin to the animals ; he merely put the bottle to their mouths, to see if they objected to it. - Tayton admitted being somewhat overcome by liquor, and added, that as to the administration of the gin he had nothing whatever to do with it. He saw a biscuit given to one of the animals by his friend, and he knew no more about the matter. Mr. BROUGHTON, after reviewing carefully the whole of the evidence adduced, came to the conclu sion that no real mischief was intended towards the animals, but that the conduct of the prisoners for going drunk into the gardens was reprehensible in the extreme. Gosney was amerced in a penalty of 305., or a month's imprisonment, for assaulting the officer; and Tayton was fined ss. for being drunk. LAMBETH. Thomas fileghan, a ruffianly-looking cabdriver, was finally examined before Mr. Elliott on a charge of violently assaulting Emily Scott, and throwing over her person, and that of another woman named Eliza Disney, a quantity of corrosive fluid, which destroyed their dresses. Emily Scott deposed that on the night of Thursday week, between ten and eleven o'clock, she was stand ing close to the Royal Oak public-house in Granby street, Waterloo-road, when the prisoner, who used to live with her at different times, and whom she had supported by her prostitution for a length of time, came up to her and asked where she was going. She replied, " Over the water ;" upon which he told her she had better not. She said she should, and he in stantly struck her a violent blow with his right hand, and with his left poured something over her from a bottle. A female friend of hers, Eliza Disney, came up to her assistance, and the prisonerAhrew some of the stuff over her shawl and destroyed it, as well as witness's dress. Elias Disney said she was present at the time, and saw him strike and kick the last witness in a most brutal manner, and also throw something over her, which destroyed her dress and bonnet. The prisoner also threw some of the stuff over her shawl, and com pletely destroyed it, burning a large piece right out. A cabman who had witnessed the outrage confirmed the testimony of both the witnesses, and Scott having been recalled said, in answer to the Magistrate's questions, that the prisoner had fre quently threatened her that if he could not blind her by kicks or blows he would by some other means, and that when she turned him up he would leave her in such a state that no other person would look at her. The dress and bonnet worn by the complainant at the time, and also the shawl of the young woman Disney, were produced, and were completely disco loured, burnt, and destroyed by some strong corrosive liquid. The prisoner, in reply to th e c h arge , sa id th a t h e was the worse for liquor at the time, and admitted the assault, but denied having thrown a liquid of any kind over the complainants. Mr. ELLIOT said it was very fortunate for him that the fluid, which there could be no doubt he had thrown over the women, had neither burnt, maimed, disfigured, nor done them some other grievous bodily harm, for, if so, his offence would have amounted to one of felony, for which he might have been tran sported for the term of his natural life. His offence, however, was one of a most unmanly and dastardly character, and for it he should sentence him, in the first instance, to a penalty of 31., or one month's im prisonment, for the assault on the woman Scott ; in the next place, he must psy a further sum of 103., or 10 days' impri sonmen t, f or th e i n j u ries done to_se he , apparel of the same person; and, in the third P ° 1 he should adjudge hi m t o pay the sum of 205., o e ui r 2 an days, for th e i n j ury d one t o th e s hawl of the w Disney. eavtentilldneegr's tr HOUSES GILESS.— THE FALL OF THE IN ~.,T. . .
