Mr. Kean has repeated Richard, Othello, Hamlet, and Sir iles Overreach, since our last. The more we see of Mr. Wrll 'can's professional talent, the more we ai e convinced that he ultimately reach the zenith of his ambition. We should have been unwilling, perhaps, to have hazarded this opinion few years ago. The rapid strides, however, which Mr. "an has l a t e ly made in public favour, are as creditable to his g en ius, as they must be gratifying to his friends. His acting Is at present distinguished for power, beauty, and expression, inferior, certainly, to no living actor. We have seen him per ,nrrn nothing with such unmixed satisfaction as Hamlet, which 11 ,. played on Friday night, and which he repeated on the twednesday following. Hamlet is the very touchstone of his tinuie excellence, and i equires all the genius of an actor successfully to embody. It may be said to consist of the es sence of the Poet's mind, compounded of its pathos, its strength, its beauty, and its sublimity. Mr. Kean's perfor tnenee the character, however, taken as a whole, is unex ectitionable—he is the young and princely novice, full of high !lithusiasm and quick sensibility, that Shakespeare has so feeli ng l y and powerfully delineated. Nearly all the actors h lcho zn we have seen represent Hamlet with success, have la ;2:3nred under the disadvantage of looking too old for the cha racter. Mr. Young, the best Hamlet of modern days, felt this ,4advantage acutely, during the latter years of his career. f ° ll ow Mr. Kean through the numerous beautiful readings Which he gave on Friday night, would be superfluous. To say t hat his acting occasionally was worthy of his father's best days Is in truth only doing him justice. The audience hailed the e i nn clusion of the play-scene with three distinct ro u nd s o f a p- P k use. That beautiful aphorism—" Wh at a p i ece o f wor k b 3 Irian 1 How noble in re ason 1 H ow i n fi n i te i n faculties 1 In em and movement ho w ex p ress an d a d m i ra bl e 1 I n act i on, fnw like an angel t In apprehension, how like a God I" was n_et e n ut o ifully•gi sen , and received, as it deserved, great applause. avail, was part o f t h e performance at which criticism could as the scene with Ophelia, which the fastidious might consider to o b o i sterous.

Waiting your answer, " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Sir Colquhoun Grant, &c. G. C. NORTON. (No. 3.) Sir,.—When Captain Rose undertook my message to Lord Seymour yesterday morning, he put this question to his friend Mr. Bentinck,— ,, Will Lord Seymour say upon his honour that he was not aware of the elopement before it took place, because, in that case, I will recommend Sir Colquhoun Grant to listen to his explanation ?" Mr. Bentinck could not commit his Lordship to the decla ration, and therefore matters proceeded, and a meeting took place. Now, Sir, you have undertaken, on your honour as a gentleman, to say that you were not present at the elopement, and knew nothing of it till many hours after it had taken place. I do not see, then, how I can refuse that respect to your word that I should have paid to Lord Seymour's, and therefore will not justify the terms contained in my letter to you ; but leave the case, with all the facts connected with it, for the judgment of the world. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, Grosvenor-square, May 30. C. GRANT. Hon. G. C. Norton. Yesterday afternoon, at 7 o'clock, Mr. Norton put into my hands a letter (No. 1), which he had received that morning from Sir C. Grant, through Captain Rose, and at the same frne gave me a letter (No. 2) which he had written in answer to it, and which he begged me to convey to Sir C. Grant. I gave the latter to Captain Rose, and received from him this morning the letter No. 3in reply to it. I asked Captain Rose whether I was to consider this letter as a withdrawal of the expressions contained in Sir C. Grant's first letter to Mr. Norton, and upon his assurance that I WAS so to consider it, I deemed that the affair ought to end there. May 30. G. BENTINCK. I have perused the statement signed by Mr. Bentinck, and subscribe to it. G. P. ROSE. CHURCH RATES. The following incident arose out of the triumphant proce's sion with which Mr. Childs was welcomed home to Bungay, from his incarceration in Ipswich gaol. Mr. John Webster, a respectable corn merchant in Bungay, is one of those who was served with notices by the Proctor of the Ecclesiastical Court in Norwich, that he had directions to proceed against him for the recovery of his Church Rates. By some friend the de mand was paid, and Mr. Webster, as soon as he knew of it, published the following hand-bill. CHURCH RATES. The Churchwardens have thought it right to put the Dissenters of this Town, who refuse to pay the Church Rate, into the infer nal—misnamed,:Spiritual—Court, and had thelnquisition existed in the country, that would doubtless have been preferred by them. As the rate might have been obtained at a trifling expense by an appeal to the Magistrates, it must be inferred, that hatred of their Dissenting townsmen prompted this revolting course. The Churchwardens say it is the law of the country ; and had the law adjudged burning at the stake, those zealots would have executed it on the persons of those with whom they had heretofore worshipped. When obsolete or hateful enactments are to be re vived or enforced, executioners are always sought and found among apostates. Having been acceded of sanctioning the payment of my Church Rate, I hereby declare, that I never authorized or employed any person, directly or indirectly, to do it for me, or in my name ; and I was ignorant of its having been done, till within a few days past; —although I am free to confess that I would not have resisted pro ceedings in that horrible and most arbitrary Court, at the probable expense of many hundred pounds, and the final incarceration of my person in a prison ; which at my age, and at the instance of such persons as Messrs. Bobbit and Scott, would have been more than my frame could endure. JOHN WEBSTER. On Saturday Mr. Childs was triumphantly welcomed from Ipswich, by a splendid procession, got up by the inhabitants of Bungay ; and on Monday a Reverend Gentleman, in close connection with one of the surrounding parishes, in which it is said the feeling between the clergyman and his parishioners is such, that scarcely a tithe-payer is ever seen at church, called at Mr. 'Webster's shop, and domanded his bill. On the man who was present saying, " Bill, Sir," the parson replied. " Yes, I will have no more to do with the cursed fellow. lie was among the first to stir this affair." The Reverend Gentleman is mistaken—the people have not stirred the affair, but his reverend brethren, and a pretty mess they have made of it. PLYMOUTH. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 30. The address to the King from the inhabitants of Devonport and Stonehouse, adopted at a public meeting on Monday last, has this evening been presented to the Secretary of State for the Home Department for presentation to his Majesty. It was signed by upwards of 3,200 of the inhabitants. The address to Lord John Russell from the same towns adopted at the same meeting has also been transmitted this evening to the Members for Devonport, to be presented to his Lordship. It was signed by the same number of the inhabitants as the ad dress to the King. This day a placard appeared on the walls of the towns of Plymouth, Devonport, and Stonehouse, announcing that a meeting of the unemploy ed seamen of the Royal Navy in this port will be held at the Clarence Inn, Catherine -street, De vonport, on Tuesday next, the 2d of June, at six in the even ing, the object of which will be there fully explained. We have endeavoured to learn the purport of the meeting without success—report states that it will be of an illegal character— but time alone must show its tendency. A general meeting of the members of the English division of the Royal Western Yacht Club has been held here during the past week, at which several noblemen and gentlemen were elected members. Lord Lisle was also appointed one of the Presidents. The regatta here is fixed to take place on Wed nesday, the 15th of July next. His Gracious Majesty's natal day was observed here on Thursday last with the usual demonstrations of loyalty and respect. The depots of the various regiments of soldiers in garrison here havebeen reviewed during the past week by Major-Ge neral Sir Willoughby Cotton, K. C. H. A meeting of the working classes here has been held during the past week on the subject of the six unfortunate Dorchester Unionists, when a petition to the House of Commons in their behalf was agreed on and adopted. It is now in course of signature. SOUTH STAFFORD ELECTION THE DECLARATION. Lichfield, Friday Evening, May 29, 1835. As had been fixed, the declaration of the successful candi date took place to-day. The adherents of the Conservative candidates were throughout their progress most heartily hooted and groaned at, although, happily, there were not any more forcible demonstrations of feeling given effect to during the morning. At twelve o'clock the Sheriff, accompanied by Sir F. Goodricke, arrived at the Guildhall, into which none save a chosen few were admitted, as, in consequence of the absence of Colonel Anson, it was determined by the Tory party that they should have all the business to themselves ; some few Li berals, however contrived to obtain ingress, who very naturally enjoyed the scene which was there exhibited to them. After the poll-books had been opened, and the number of votes for each of the candidates ascertained, the High-Sheriff declared them to be thus : Colonel Anson Sir F. Goodricke Majority for Sir F. Goodricko 214 —(Loud hisses and cheers.) The votes in the various districts were : Anson. Goodricke. Lichfield 159 ... 224 Walsall Penkridge 325 ... 370 Wolverli - ampton 327 ... 277 Kingswinford 1559 1773 The HIGH SHIRIFF then declared that Sir Francis Holyoakc Goodricke had been duly elected as a Knight of the Shire to serve in Parliament for the Southern Division of tho County of Stafford.—( Hisses and cheers.) Sir F. H. GOODRICKE then returned his sincere and grate ful thanks to the electors, for the strenuous exertions they had made for his return, and congratulated them upon the suc cessful termination of the contest.—( Hisses and cheers.) He concluded by moving a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff for his impartiality during the election. This was seconded by Mr. MOTT, and the Court adjourned. Sir F. Goodricke, on leaving the Guildhall, seated himself in a very handsome car, decorated with his favour ribbons and emblematic devices, and attended by a numerous procession, band playing and banners, proceeded to the Swan Hotel. At first a number of wry faces were exhibited, and at length a fugitive egg found its way to the triumphal car. This was but the signal for a general uproar, and in a few seconds a number of missiles were directed not only against the centre of attraction, but also against those immediately near it, one of which struck Sir F. Goodricke on the forehead. Sir Francis was then assisted by his friends from the car, and pro ceeded on foot to hia hotel, where the dinner took place— Mr. Mott in the chair. No further tendency to riot was ex hibited, although two troops of Dragogns arrived in the city in the afternoon, having been sent for after the affair of the chairing. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR MAY. The plant on the ground looks thin and cold ; whether from the wireworm or the weather—probably from both—and, we must venture to add, in many districts from thin sowing, the prospect is not auspicious. The little warm weather, toge the late rains, have in a degree restored the colour, but the vegetation is very universally w h at we h ave d escr ib e d—thin. The Barley, on the contrary, has been got in under most fa. vourable circumstances, and comes up very promisingly. The grasses will probably be more abundant than for some years, though a little late ; but even this will depend on.the tempera ture, which has been kept down in an extraordinary manner by the North, North-east, and North-westerly winds, that have prevailed, with the intermission of a few hours only, during the whole of the present month, anticipated always as the most genial. The Malting season being now almost come to its ti t ., i.! artic'e of speculation, and it seems to be a general belief that the stocks in hand arc barely sufficient to meet the occasion, espe cially should the harvest be late or protracted by wet. Scot land is stated to be much exhausted, that purchases have been already made in Ireland on Scotch account. Here, however, owing to a growth deficient in quantity, and also in quality, from the increased cultivation of Wheat, the stock of this grain is thought to be short. Somrthing, too, is attributed to the rapid and early sales effected by the Irish growers and holders. One fact is certain—namely, that the quantity imported into London this year, was, from England, decreased to one-third or less of the amount of the previous five years ; whilst, on the contrary, the importations from Scotland and Ireland were doubled and trebled in relation to some of those years, e. y. in 1830-31, the English was 188,371 ; in 1834-33, no more than 50,537, The Scotch, at the same dates, 102,834, 227,728; the Irish, 170,544, 547,610. These discrepancies are such as almost to defy argument or computation. TH SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 1, 1835 RIOTS AT WOLVERHAMPTON. (From a Morning Contemporary.) WOLVERHAMPTON, SATURDAY NIGHT. When I left this on Thursday evening, on my return to Lichfield, everything was perfectly quiet, but, as I then stated, the people were in a state of great excitement. I now take up the events here where I left off in my communication of Thursday evening. I learn, that as that evening cl ose d i n crowds began to assembie in the market-place in large groups, and of course the events of the preceding night were the sole subject of their remarks. Strong symptoms of a disposition to break the peace being manifest, fears were entertained for the tranquillity of the town. Under these circumstances, re presentations were made to the Magistrates (Messrs. Hill and Briscoe) with a request that they would call in the aid of the troops and clear the streets. Mr. Briscoe then came forward, and having advised the people to retire, read the Riot Act. The troops were then ordered to disperse the crowds, which they did by riding in amongst them, but without offering any violence. The people went off in different directions, without making any resistance whatever. There was not even a stone thrown that I can learn. The troops continued to parade the streets up to half-past one, but the people had retired to their homes long before. At the last-named hour the troops were recalled, with the exception of a picket or two. I should have stated above, that before the streets were cleared two shots were fired at the troops by some persons who escaped detection. No damage was done by either. The town continued per fectly tranquil the remainder of the night and throughout the whole of yesterday, until the evening, when, as before, groups began to assemble in the market-place. The Riot Act eras again read by Mr. Briscoe, and the military were called out, but it was found unnecessary to do more than parade them dis mounted, when the crowds separated. The wounded persons, whose cases I spoke of on Thursday (and, save some bruises from blows of the flats of sabres, I have heard of no others), are going on well, with the exception of the young man whose leg was amputated, and his condition is considered very pre carious. Should his case terminate fatally, I have little doubt that it would renew the excitement here to a serious extent, and then we shall have an inquest as tedious probably as that of Manchester. The Government has lost no time in in directing an inquiry into this business, as far at least as regards the conduct of the troops. Orders were sent from the Horse Guards to Colonel Thorn ( Assistant Quarter-Master-General), at Birmingham, to proceed thither, and institute an inquiry into the affair, and repert the result to head-quarters. He arrived here this morning, aceompanied by Sir George Teasdale, who came as Colonel of the Dragoon Guards. Col. Thorn, I understand, pro. ceeded immediately to the magistrates, where he commenced his inquiries. He there received several depositions—de scribing, in the first instance, the absolute necessity for the tranquillity of the town, that the aid of the military should be called in. The magistrates and a very considerable number of the most respectable inhabitants of the town were, I am in formed, unanimous in their opinion as to the necessity for calling in the military ; but I must add, that the same unani mity on that point does not exist amongst the townspeople generally, and there are amongst these some very respect able individuals, who join with Mr. Roaf, the chairman, con ducting one inquiry here, in thinking that the interference of the troops was not necessary, and that when they did act, they acted with unnecessary violence. Mr. Briscoe, a magistrate, who witnessed the conduct of the troops, and who speaks of the manner -in which they had been pelted by the people, was applied to by Colonel Thorn as to his opinion of their conduct, and gave a written state ment on the subject, which I understand was in substance to this effect :----‘• That on the two days on which he had found it absolutely necessary to call in their aid to keep the peace, he felt it his duty to state that their conduct had been so ex cellent that no language of his could do them full justice." Similar testimonials to the good conduct of the troops were given by Mr. Hill, a magistrate, and by the Rev. Mr. I Clare, who has been 30 years a ma g i s t ra t e in this neighbour hood. Mr. Roaf, the gentleman who transmitted the unsworn de positions to the Home Department, resumed his examination to day: I subjoin what took place, prefixing the conclusion of the examination of Thursday, for which I had not time to wait on that day. (CONTINUATION OF THE DEPOSITIONS OF THURSDAY.) Mr. Newey, pork-butcher—l was on duty as a special con stable between 10 and 11 o'clock on last night. I saw a sol dier enter the tap-room of the Peacock Inn, following a crolA d of people. Ido not think the conduct of the people justi fied the interference of the soldiers. The soldiers swept the mugs and jugs off the table, and wanted to turn the people ont of the inn. Joseph Phillips, Canal-street—l was going down Lichfield street between 9 and 10 o'clock. I was in search of my son, who was out. I was ordered to return by a soldier. I said I was going peaceably about my business. The soldiers then rushed at me and pushed me against the wall, and beat me with the backs of their swords in a severe manner, and for a long time. In order to escape I got into a friend's house. [The witness here exhibited his arm and back, which were severely bruised.] John Pinson—l am a locksmith ; between nine and ten o'clock last night I was returning home up Darlington-street, when a friend of mine told me to run, as the soldiers were going to fire. I heard the order given to fire, and was struck on the arm by a bullet, which passed through the fleshy part. The people were all running away. I did not sea any stones thrown. ( Witness had his arm in a sling, and the sleeve of his coat open.) SECOND DAY'S EXAMINATION.-SATURDAY. Robert Schoolbred.—My window is almost opposite the Swan (Sir F. Goodricke's Hotel). At the close of the poll on Wednesday I was standing at the shop door. The people were coming towards the Swan from the polling-booths, and apparently from mere curiosity, as they had done on the p re _ vious night. I saw Sir F. Goodricke's friends groaned at and spit upon by the crowd. I did not see any special constables present. About 5 o'clock I saw a few stones thrown at two young men, who took refuge in Mr. Parke's shop, which is opposite the Swan. Stones were thrown by boys. I re _ marked, that when the parties discontinued coming out of the Swan the crowd began to disperse, and the boys were amu sing themselves in a playful manner by pushing each other about. Ther• did not appear to be any disposition to riot. About half an hour before the Riot Act was read I saw a man coming out of the Swan into the crowd, with a large stick in his hand. The people spat at him, and lie imme diately commenced striking with his stick at the crowd in a furious manner. He was spoken to by a gentleman, who seemed to remonstrate with him. It was stated that the man with the stick was a special constable. At this time the crowd was fast diminishing. A short time before this the soldiers marched up in front of the Swan, and brought a great crowd up along with them. The people cheered the soldiers, who received their billets, and went to their quarters. The people seemed quiet, and were disposed to disperse. In the midst of this quietness, I heard the bugle sounded,, and the soldiers all appeared. The Rev. Mr. Clare, the Magistrate, and several gentlemen, then came out of the Swan into the crowd, and' appeared to remonstrate with the people, telling them to go home. The crowd hissed Mr. Clare. After lie had been in the crowd a few moments he returned into the Swan, and ap peared in the balcony. At this time I saw only one stone thrown, which broke a pane of glass near to which Mr. Clare stood. I heard a voice from the Swan say, " Now is the time to read the Riot Act," which Mr. Clare then proceeded to do. Orders were then given to the soldiers to draw their swords. which they did. A volley of stones was now hurled at the soldiers. I did not see any stones thrown at the Swan. Immediately the soldiers charged upon the people. The church bells were slamming• all the time. Mr. R - umblow, a tailor—About five o'clock on Wednesday I was near the Swan, and saw two gentlemen coming front thence. They were hissed, hooted, and spat upon, and a stone was thrown at them while they stood at the door of a house next to Mr. Shoolbred's. I was afterwards in the gateway of the Swan Inn; and when I heard the bugles sounding calling the soldiers to arms, I went up to the committee-room of Sir F. Goodricke, where I saw a number of gentlemen. There were gentlemen in the balcony, amongst whom were the son! of the Rev. Mr. Clare. I was looking through one of the windows, and a friend of mine was near me, when a stele was flung apparently at his head, and broke the square of glass near which he stood, but missed him. Mr. Clare was then about to read the Riot Act, but a gentleman near him said he thought it better to defer it a little longer. When the stone of which I have spoken was thrown, t..vo or three in the room said it was time that it should be read. Mr. Clare then read the Riot Act, after which two or three squares of glass were broken. The soldiers then charged, and the windows of the Swan Inn were thrown up. I saw a stone or brick strike the helmet of on - e of the soldiers, aed break on it. This was before the charge, and was the only assault I saw then. This was the only stone I saw thrown at the soldiers. The soldiers charged down Dudley-street, and partly cleared the road. They then separated into small parties, and charged the people in every direction, cleariag all before them. There was a gentleman opposite the Swan, turning the corner from the market-place towards the Swan. A soldier struck him several blows with the flat of his sword. Some person from the balcony called out not to strike him, for he was a friend of their's (Goodricke's). The soldier replied, " I dotl't know your friends—you must point them out to me." I immediately afterwards saw the gentleman who was struck come into the room where I was. About three or four minutes after I saw the same soldier going down Dudley-street. There was a man coming up ap-- parently drunk, with his arms folded. The soldier told him to go on, and struck him with the flat of his sword. 'I he man took no notice, and the soldier struck him with the point of his sword. I saw the man immediately fall, and I said " That man is killed," and and another said ‘• I be lieve he is." I saw the man bleeding. I then went to another window from which I had a view of the churchyard. The churchyard was crowded. The soldiers had not then fir.i/ arid the people , v re t!!ro-.ving scones. A person ashec: for the keys of the gates. Mr. Clare said the keys could not be_ found, and hp ordered the gates to he broken open. Orders were then given to clear the gates, and I saw two sol diers ride trp 'find take deliberate aim and fire with their car bines. I heard some one below give orders to fire. The people then fled, leaving' the gates free. I saw no stones thrown after the two shots. I saw no more shots fired, but I heard them. I saw no arms with the people. I saw numbers of women and children in the crowd. At this part of the investigation, Colonel Thorn, accompa nied by Sir George Teasdale, the Colonel of the Ist Regi ment of Dragoon Guards, and a Captain of the detachment of it, here entered the room. Colonel THORN wished to know whether the witnesses were examined on oath. Mr. ROAF said no. He had no authority ;he was not a ma gistrate. He had been requested by several gentlemen of the town, as one greatly interested in its tranquillity, to collect information for the purpose of having justice done to the peo ple. With that view he had transmitted the statements made on a former day to the Secretary of the Home Department, signed by the parties who had made them, and accompanied by a statement that all those parties would be willing to come forward and depose on oath to their truth before any competent authority empowered to inquire into the subject. Colonel THORN, adverting to complaints made against the conduct of the troops, asked whether the representation to that effect had been made to the officer in command. Mr. Roite and another gentleman said it was almost impos sible to identify the soldiers. The gentleman added, that he had himself seen four of them firing down, one each street at the same time—there was then no mob whatever in the streets. He had often seen the military in the town before that, but he had never known an instance in which troops had thus been allowed to ride about in small parties of two, three, and four, attacking all they met, and without the con trol of any officer he could perceive. Colonel THORN said it was difficult at night to distinguish an officer from a private soldier. But what was to be done ? The Riot Act had been read, and he was told by two magis trates (Mr. Hill and the Rev. Mr. Clare) that the town was in a state of riot. This was borne out by the fact that two veterinary surgeons had examined the soldier's horse that had been killed, and found that he had been struck in the side by a knife, or some sharp instrument. Mr. ROA! , was not a little surprised at the statement as re garded Mr. Hill, for he happened to know that that gentleman, before leaving town at six o'clock, had said to a friend of his, that he was quite satisfied that the town was peaceably dis posed, and that he (Mr. Hill) might go home, leaving efikery thing in safety. A gentleman commented in strong terms of disapprobation on the conduct of the military in firing so soon on the people. Sir G. TEASDALE understood that many of the soldiers had been struck by stones, and it was just as bad to be killed by a stone as by a bullet. Mere the troops to stand to be thrown at after the Riot Net hisd been read, and they had been ordered to clear the streets ? He should say not ; for if he were to be thus struck he would shoot the person who did it. If they were to suffer in that way, they would be no better than a parcel of' old women, and they might have-had the scenes of Bristol enacted over again. Several gentlemen in the room then stated instances in which they said the soldiers had misconducted themselves. Mr. Roaf here handed to Colonel Thorn (who had asked for them) the address of Evan Evans (examined on Thurs day), into whose house a bullet had been fired, as stated by him in his deposition ; and also of some individuals who wore said to have been ill-treated by the soldiery. The Colonel then proceeded to inquire into those cases. The first was that of Anne Deakin (whose evidence was given on Wednesday). In reply to Colonel Thorn's questions, she now repeated the same stntement, as to having beard a shot fired in the street, and when she went to the window she saw a soldier go to the opposite side, and take aim and fire through her door. The bullet now produced was the one which was fired through. She thought there was only a second of time between the two shots. Colonel THORN said it was impossible the soldier could have fired the two shots, for he could not have had time to reload in the time described, and no soldier out that night had more than one kind of fire-arms—either one pistol or one carbine. he next house visited by the gallant officer was that of Mr. Wallace, one of the veterinary surgeons who took the post mortem examination on the dragoon's horse. Mrs. Wallace said that on Wednesday night a soldier had threatened to fire at her unless she retired from her window ; she remained, but he did not fire. She would not know him again. While on his way to another house, in company with Sir George Teas dale, a private soldier came up and said he was one of three soldiers who had been fired at on Thursday night, near the gateway of the New Hotel, by some person who stood in an opposite entry, who got off. Colonel Thorn proceeded to the spot, and the soldier's statement was confirmed by the testi mony of Mr. Barter and of a waiter at the hotel, who saw the flash from one of the guns. Colonel_ THORN, on his return to the Peacock, asked Mr. Roaf if there were any other cases, as there was nothing which implied bad conduct on the part of the military in those into which he had inquired. Mr. Roaf, in some surprise, asked if the Colonel had inquired into Mrs. Deakin's case ? Colonel THORN replied in the affirmative, but said there was nothing in it. A Gentleman here stated to the Colonel that he was in a state of anxiety on Wednesday night about a little boy of his who W 219 not at home, and he therefore went, with another of his sons, in search of him. The street was very quiet. There were some women in it. On getting near the top of it he saw four soldiers gallop to the head of the street and fire, each through a different street. One fired towards himself. Anxious as he was for the safety of his little boy, he became more so for his own, and returned to his house. He put it to Colonel Thorn if such conduct was proper when the streets were perfectly quiet. Colonel THORN said that he should not proceed further with the inquiry that day, as he had to return to Birmingham. The following is a copy of the certificate of the veterinary surgeon of this town as to the post mortem examination. He was assisted in the examination by another veterinary surgeon, and by a skilful surgeon of this place. The veterinary surgeon of the regiment did not attend : " Veterinary Infirmary, May 29. " At the request of Captain Manning I made a post mortem examination of a Dragoon horse, which you have as follows r—l found an exterior wound on the near side about six inches above the elbow, penetrating the chest between the fifth and sixth rib, the anterior edge of the latter being a little grazed. The external wound was one inch and a half in length and of a semi-lunar shape. Blood was effused into the cellular mem brane beneath the skin, and between the pectus muscle and the ribs. On opening the chest, I found the wound passed immediately under the left lobe of the lungs, entered the peri cardium, and penetrated deeply into the superior part of the left ventricle of the heart, but did not go into the cavity. The chest contained a quantity of effused blood, and the pericar dium was nearly filled with coagulum. The immediate cause of death was owing to mechanical obstruction of the heart's action, produced by the effused blood. " R. PRITCHARD. " To Mr. Mellows, Veterinary-Surgeon, King's Dragoon Guards. " N. B.—Observing no other external injury, and having ascertained the evident cause of death, I proceeded no fur ther with the examination. The wound was inflicted with an instrument of, in my opinion, from four to six inches in length." FASHIONABLE ARRANGEMENTS for the WEEK.

TIIE LATE ELOPEMENT.—We can state upon the highest authority, that proceedings in the Court of Chancery will be instantly commenced against Mr. Brinsley Sheridan, calling upon him to make a fitting settlement upon his bride, or to now to the alternative of all her property being settled strictly upon herself and her children. Although the lady is not a ward of Chancery, the jurisdiction of the Court extends to the case of minors. It must not be forgotten that the heir toss is not of age ; under these circumstances, Mr. Sheri dan will be deprived of a life interest even in the 40,000/. ; and in case of the death of his lady, he will not enjoy a single sous '' of the i n h er it anc e: The proceedings are said to be in stituted by Sir ColCiubbini himself; and some curious parti-u -lars cting the history of thisfamous fortune are expected to transpire in the discussion. —Court Journal.

CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of Wheat and Oats last week were considerable; of other grain moderate, and of Flour tolerably good. The trade manifested no disposition to alteration during the week. This morn ing the fresh supplies of Corn arc short. The little fine Wheat that appeared sold readily at ls. per quarter advance on the terms of last Monday, anti other qualities met a better sale than recently, and maintained former prices. Barley remains without variation. Beans are scarce, and again rather dearer. Boiling Pease meet scarcely any demand. Grey Pease are scarce, and rather higher. The Oat trade has been dull, and last week's prices were with difficulty supported.. The Flour trade retains its late dullness, at no alteration in value. rRI,CES ON BOARD or• SHIP.

CHARGE OF MURDER.—On Saturday Daniel Wilcox, an old pensioner, was charged before Colonel Forman, at Greenwich, with the murder of Louisa Barnes, aged 40. From the evidence it appeared that, on Thursday evening a woman heard screams in deceased's room in Queen-street, and on going in she saw the prisoner with a saucepan i!t his hind, with which the deceased' said he had struck her. Deceased attempted to proceed across the room, but fell. She groaned often through the night, and Air. Sturton, of Park-row, was sent for three times, but refused to attend unless he received some security that he should be paid. He, however, ultimately attended, when he found her dead. Two other women visited the deceased while ill in bed, t,s whom she said that she prisoner had struck her. The sur geon, on examination, found a bruise and a swelling GA the body, which he considered insufficient to cause death. He did not examine the head. The prisoner said the .de ceased was drunk on the night before,, and had fallen on the saucepan. He was remanded till after Use inquest. On Saturday evening an inquest was held on the ,body before Mr. Carter, the Coroner. Mr. Keeble, the pariah surgeon, being called, deposed that he . had. examined the body and found it externally healthy in appearance, and could not see the least mark cf violence. . On opening the body, he dis covered in the cavity where the bowels are contained in flammation of long standing enough to account for death, and that perfectly from natural causes ; the conclusion which Mr. Sturton and . himself came, to_ after a very careful exa- mination was, that death arose from internal circumitancei and not from external violence : indeed, the inflammation had gone so far, that there actually was a coat of matter on the surface of the bowels. The Jury returned a verdict of—Natural Death. 111111=MI - NM T.^t ~; ~: y .. 1 .....-~..~ ~ a dll I I ~ V .. A --
