LONDON: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, iem. The Peers were last night occupied c hi efly with one of those little discussions touching the character, veracity, and conduct of Irish Peers and Irish gentlemen, which reflect equal honour on the House, for entertaining it, and on the individuals whom it concerned. The Marquis of WESTMEATH began by accusing the Marquis of NORMANBY of having described a Catholic priest as the Catholic rector. The Marquis of NORMANDY said if he had used the phrase it was from inadvertence. He quoted letters from the Solicitor-General of Ireland, and several barristers, to justify what he had previously said of the case of Mr. BIDDULPH. The Earl of CHARLEVILLE complained of the subject having been brought before their Lord ships without notice to him. He insisted on his own correctness, and that he knew there were three m Ribbonen on th e J ur y i n Mr. BID'. DuLpn's case. The Earl of WlCKLOWa dmitt e d th a t th e Mar quis of NORMANBY'S justification was complete, and the Marquis s lid lie had written to th e E ar l of CHARLEVILLE to give him notice of his inten tion to make the staterne:it. The discu.Fsian ltd to nothing. A little conversation also took place about Dart mouth having being selected as the port of de parture for the %Vtst India Mails, which ended by the Report of the Commissioners to inquire nto the subject being ordered to be laid on the table. In the Commons Mr. FRESHFIELD occupied the House, for a short time, with a motion for a Committee to inquire into the port of departure and arriv it of the West India Mails. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQUER opposed ?he motion, and said nothing was more disagree able to the Goverament than these personal ap peals. The motion was carried, on a division, by 54 to 50• The SO'ACITOR-GENERAL obtained a Com mittee to inquire into the expediency of erect ing a building in the neighb ourhood of the Inns of Court, for the sittings of the Courts of Law and Equity.

The House sat till Nine o'clock. we believe, now the cheapest on the face of the globe, and the whole argument founded on its being dearer than other labour, proceeds on a false assumption. The Times ou Saturday last said " If capital and poverty are both let alone, capital will' in evitably make poverty its slave." The Tory journalist, therefore, implies that it is necessary to restrain capital to prevent it from inflicting an injury on poverty or labour. This sentiment was echoed by the Post, and described as truly Conservative. We acquiesce in it; we wish it were always present to the minds of legislators, and ge nerally acted on. If capital, however, when let alone is so powerful, it needs no help from le gislators to protect itself; and those who adopt this sentiment can scarcely avoid the Chartist conclusion, that at least labour ought to be fully represented, if not exclusively represented, that it may, by legislative power, repel the encroach ments of capital. Do the Tories—or the Conservatives, as they call themselves, in order to hide, under a new name, their true character—act up to this sen timent? Do they demand legislative power for poverty ? Do they place it on an equality even with capital? Not they. They haul forth the sentiment for a little holiday parade when they wish to catch the suffrages of the people, and when it has served that purpose they carefully lock it up till it is wanted for a similar piece of trickery. Far from giving poverty poli tical power their system turns on exclud ing poverty from political power, and on arming capital or property exclusively with legislative functions, in order that it may make a slave of poverty. This is one of the incon sistencies of Toryism. When it needs the as sistance of the people, it pretends to love and honour them, but it always acts on its own innate attachment to despotism. We have an illustration of this in the pro ceedings relative to the Parliamentary Voters Bill. The Tories object to Lord MORPETH'S Bill, that it will give legislative power to the people, or enable poverty to keep capital at bay. They say that it will endanger property by making it share political power with poverty. But we will allow the Standard, an organ of the Tories, to explain the sentiments of its party. It said on Monday night, The ceremony of presenting a sword to the infant Count of PARIS, engrosses the serious at tention of the Parisian Magistracy. The sword will be preceded by an address, which it is hoped his little Royal Highness will listen to without squalling, albeit too young either to un derstand or answer it. Much will depend upon his nurse, and the novelty of the baubles selected to amuse him. However, the Magistrates hope the best, and are only anxious how they shall acquit themselves to advantage in the presence of so many Princes, Marshals, Peers, and Cardi nals. The infant Count, like other children of his age, tests the value of everything by the taste. We trust the Magistrates will be careful not to suffer him to put the sword in his mouth. The presentation of a sword to a child is sug gestive of some observations on the ridiculous form in which all Europeans embody testimonies of respect for eminent individuals. Swords are presented to retired Generals, who no longer want them, or who, wanting them, ought only to receive them from the hands of the Sovereign. Snuff-boxes are given to men who never used tobacco in any form; and salvers are voted to individuals who never knew the luxury of a side board. What do such men as WELLINGTON and NAPIER want with swords? Can they have better blades than those with which they carved their way to fame? They merit rewards, but these should be substantial and appropriate. The freedom of cities, too, is usually bestowed upon persons who neither reside in them nor are in any way in terested in commerce. Thus Sir R. PEEL is a tailor, and JOSEPH HUME a fishmonger, of the City of London. If the Magistrates of Paris wish to stand well with the infant Count they will present him with a pap-spoon and coral and bells, and reserve the presentation of the sword till his Royal Highness is grown big enough to wear it. They will then be better able to judge of the appro priateness of such a gift. For ourselves, if we may be allowed an opinion upon such a subject, we are inclined to think that France has put swords enough in the hands of the ORLEANS Should this revolutionary measure be carried—should the Chartist principle, that mere occupation of a certain nominal portion of property, independent of all profit or interest arising from its possession, be once affirmed for Ireland , what, we wonld confidently ask, is to impede or even delay the introduc tion of the same description of franchise into England and Scotland ? * * * First, there isthe Govern ment plan for a mere occupation franchise ;—in other words, that a pauper who holds as much land as is worth eight pounds, but who pays for it sixteen, that is twice as much as it is worth. shall have the franchise ! and this is the sober proposition of Lord Morpeth. We all in this country know well the prover bial anxiety of the Irish labourer to obtain possession of a por. tion of land at any price. This is his highest ambition, and to gratify this, to be the owner of his field, he will give such a rent for it, as reduces his actual condition below the daily la bourer whom he hires. He will live in filth and misery to pay this rack. rent to his landlord ; and yet if such a human being pays a sufficient amount of such rent—that is to say, eight pounds a year—he is to be one of the constituency of Ireland. To this proposal Lord Howick says No ! You shall not depart from the principle of the English law and the nominal principle of the existing Irish one. You shall see that the man not only holds and occupies a sufficient portion of land, but that he shall hold it at a such rent as to leave him as much profit, as great a " beneficial interest," as will enable him to live like a human being, and not like an Indian or a beast of burthen. Madrid journals of the 19th inst. have reached us, but their contents are unimportant. The escape of CABRERA from France, and his en trance into Spain at the head of nine companies, was rumoured but not credited in Madrid. The Five per Cents. were at 26 for cash, and 26k at 60 days. The news brought by the Levant Mail from Constantinople has not disappointed us. The new Admiral has commenced his official career by abolishing the Board for the Administration of the Navy, and the Commission of Public Utility, established by the late SULTAN, and composed chiefly of Frenchmen of science, has likewise been broken up, yet one of the first acts of the new Cabinet was to address a circular to to the European Ambassadors at the Porte, stating that the rumours of their adopting a retrogade policy were unfounded ! The disci pline of the navy is henceforth to be maintained by the application of the bastinado to the soles of the feet, as in the days of the AMURATBS, the SELIMS, and the MUSTAPLIAS• To give a vote to poverty is stigmatised by the Tories as a Chartist principle, and is to be resisted by them in the case of Ireland, lest the contagion of protecting poverty from capital should extend to England. That a man is poor, and unable to live like a gentleman, is the very reason assigned by the Tories why he is to be excluded from political power. The Tories, by their words, acknowledge themselves sensible that capital, if let alone, will enslave poverty, and by their acts they confer political power on it exclusively, to enable capital the more cer tainly to attain this end. It appears that the immediate cause of the disgrace of RESCHID PACHA was his proposing a commercial code which some of the Ulemas objected to as unnecessary, because not indicated in the Koran. The Minister, chafed by the absurdity of such an objection, declared that the Koran could not take cognizance of a state of things which did not exist when it was written, and which had grown out of an advanced state of civilization. The Koran was not sufficient as a code of laws now, as when it was written there were no maritime insurances, no bills of exchange, no steam-boats, no quarantine, and properly speaking, no international commerce, such as now prevails throughout the world. The priests took fire at this, and threatened never to enter the Council unless the Minister was dismissed, which followed accordingly. Now while the Turkish Cabinet is thus com pelled to be guided in every act by the priest's interpretation of the Koran, it is impossible to maintain the integrity of the Ottoman empire. The very principle carries within it the seeds of the dissolution of the Turkish power. Nations can only maintain their independence by such continual modifications of their institutions as may keep them in harmony with the ever onward movement of civilization. While the profession of the Turks was war, and when every purchase was made with the sword, the Koran supplied abundant rules for the government of such a state of society,'but peace and the cultiva tion of the arts and sciences have produced an entirely new order of things, and unless the Ulemas and Imaums contrive to twist a more liberal policy out of it, Turkey must, sooner or later, fall a prey to one or other of the more civilized States who now stand forth as her pro tectors. While the Tory party hypocritically pretends to have a respect fur the bulk of the people, it treats them with undisguised contempt. They are not worthy, in its eyes, to have any share in our political rights. They are to be treated with care, like cattle, for the sake of preserving them in good working condition, but they are no more to be allowed to enter the political castle of the gentry than swine are tolerated in the carpeted parlours of our opulent farmers. Yet some of the Chartists, some of the working classes, are now zealously engaged in helping the Tories into office. A few fine and flattering words from the Tories, for whom they seem to have the habitual deference which slaves enter tain for their masters, are sufficient to carry the Chartists off their feet, and make them follow the Tories, as charmed men moving under the direction of an enchanter's rod. In fact, the To ries use a powerful charm for the poor. Theirs is a golden wand, and the excessive poverty, if not the will, of some Chartists consents to do the bidding of the rich enchanters. Had the aboli tion of the Corn-laws, a year ago, restored the people to prosperity, Tory gold and Tory bland ishments would have lost their influence. It has of late been repeatedly urged as a re proach to those manufacturers who demand a repeal of the Corn-law, that they want to employ the cheaper labour of foreigners and so throw the , dearer labour of our agricultural labo urers out of !

The Univers says 6' The following passages of a letter, per Porto Bello, dated 15th February, 1841, has been communi cated to us :—.You know that the English possessed for about 80 years this country, known by the name of the Musquito shore. They abandoned it in 1777-78, but as it seems not without regret. Now they are the masters and legitimate pos sessors of it. The King of the Musquito Indians inhabiting the ancient province of Honduras, in ancient America, who died lately, has left a will, in which he declares Queen Victoria his sole heir, and gives to her and her successors all the rights which he possessed to the sovereignty of this country. " Thus the English ate masters of 12.5 leagues of coast on the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Honduras, and this impor tanfacquisition has cost them nothing but the expense of the will. This is a secure step to the acquisition of the isle of Penance, so greatly coveted by England, which will establish itself there, by fair means or foul, sooner or later, but infallibly, being wonder fully s, conded by the state of anarchy with which the provinces of South America, formerly belonging to Spain, are plunged; a situation which forebodes, in less than a century, a second conquest of America by England." The fortifications are scarcely begun, and we have already to announce that a contractor who had undertaken a military road, has become bankrupt and absconded. The journals which advocate the fortifying of Paris daily labour to the utmost to deceive the public respecting the direction given to the execution of the works. It is in vain that Marshal Soult declares they are making every positive promise respecting the simultaneous execution of the rampart and the bastilles ; in order to con ceal their defeat they announce that the works of the continuous wall are proceeding with extraordinary activity. Now the following is correctly the degree of activity with which the works were going on yesterday at the Bois de Boulogne, where 10,000 workmen, as they say, were employed. (Then follow the details of the number of workmen at each section of the line, of which the following regimen it the result : c vic there Total 564 workmen employed on the continuous wall, on west of Paris, to the extent of above 8,000 metres, 'ne in order to examine are IT I A ,OOO LIA o: IF,22ooNaTtltEhnesitAadreßlioLf C l h 3 a . r — en Th ton e .

A BovaL Soto.—How many a visitor to the Court of Valencay has listened with admiration and delight to the playing of the King of Spain. His vigorous bowing, his perfect intonation and purity of tone, the tenderness of his andante, and the spirit of his allegretto, have excited raptures. But Kings possess re sources unknown to ordinary men, and when Ferdinand re ceived the adulation of his auditors, standing with an air of mo desty at the other end of the room, and relieved en profile against a rich japanned screen, what was he doing? The King of the two Spares and the two Indies was drawing his bow in the air, and the auditors were charmed by the skill of Boucher, who executed all the difficult passages while concealed behind the screen. After this display, and while the room resounded with expressions of admiration, while the enthusiasm of all was at its height, the royal trickster would step forward, in the coolest manner possible, to receive the rapturous applause bestowed on his sham solo.— Theodore Rod's French Stage. Might we not extend this to other things Does not the Prime Minister, or some clever man stand behind the screen and fiddle politics, while the Royal puppet bows and smiles and re ceives all the applause? For the last century, there have probably been about three monarchs in Europe, Frederick the Great of Prussia, Joseph 11., and Napoleon, who have not been in all things—matters infinitely more important than the poor show of fiddling !—like FERDI NAND, no better than quacks and impostors. The day of Royalty is gone bye. King-heroes are at an end, but it is still thought necessary for a purpose for some one to enact the parr. When will the public learn properly to value the comedy ? INFLUENCE OF INTEREST ON OPINION.—The Liverpool Times states that Mr. John Gladstone, formerly a merchant, slave-owner, and planter, has lately become an extensive landowner like Lord Ashburton, and accordingly, like Lord Ash burton, he has become a defender of the bread tax. We could not possibly imagine what had brought this gentleman from his obscurity to in dite and publish, in the Morning Post, as silly a piece of twaddle as we have for a long time met with. The fact mentioned by the Liverpool Times explains all. The great merchant is not yet hoisted into the House of Peers—he could not get a constituency to place him in the Com mons, and he is obliged, therefore, to have re course to the press to obtain distinction. To show the bread-taxers how worthy he is to sit in their House by the side of Lord Ashburton, he has done by writing what that Noble Lord has done by speaking. We need not inform the readers of The Sun what that is. P USE Y ISM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Melksham, April 27, 1841. SlR,—The inhabitants of this negisbourhood are exceed ingly surprised by the strange doctrines preached by the Clergy. Most of the Clergy are becoming Puseyites, or are leanin g that way. This lam not surprised a t, fora lazy useless par son, when he is almost shamed out of his cloth by the activity and usefulness of the Methodist parson, falls back upon this consolation—" he has no authority, for I am the only autho rised Minister." " Sixty years have I attaided our church, (said an old man to me,) where I have always been taught to hate the Papists and Popery, 'because their priests pretended they could for give sins ; and now our parson says he can for giveve theme fore so ; are al and if he can, all the p arsons who preLched b him liars."

SIR 1 have been bred up with a dislike to Popery, and I ...ve always suppotted• the Tories becau,e I have been always taught to bebeve that they were the great enemies of Popery, and our parsons here at Keevil always said that if the Radicals got in v%e should be all Catholics, and Radicals, and IVe thodists, and infidels, and that we should have neither God nor devil. But now we have got a new parson, Mr. Poke, who said in his sermon last Sunday week that he could forgive sins, and that is what the Romans say they can do. I wrote this to you just to let the Bishops know what is going on, in the hops they will put a stop to it. Keevil, near Trowbridge, April 27. G. W. WOOLWICH. -TUESDAY. ROYAL ARTILLERY. GENERAL ORDER, APRIL 25, 1841.—The regiment will take into wear the new clothing for the present year at Head- Quarters on Sunday, the 9th of May next, and at the out stations as soon after as possible. H. D. ROSS, Colonel, Deputy Adjutant-General. Lieutenant-General Lord Bloomfield, G. C. 13., and G. C. 11., inspected the detachments under orders for Canada and Hali fax on the Guard-Mounting Parade yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The officers proceeding to the above stations arc Captains Cator, Story, Hill, 'Dupuis, and Walsh. Captain Grant will not now proceed, having exchanged with Captain Dupuis. 70 non-commissioned officers and men,6l to Canada, and 9 to Halifax, Nova Scotia, are the numbers selected, and a finer body of young artillerymen we have seldom witnessed. The Lieutenant-General seemed highly pleased with their ap pearance, and expressed himself to that effect. The whole of the officers and men embarked at 3 o'clock this afternoon —►h e detachments for Canada in the St. Ann's freight-ship, and the detachment for Halifax in the England. A number of the Guards, Major Robe, of the Royal Engineers, and 1 sergeant and 6 marines proceed in the same vessels to North America. ROYAL MARINES. An order was received at Woolwich on Sunday !horning for 1 sergeant, 3 corporals, and 80 privates of the Royal Marines, to hold themselves in readiness to proceed to Plymouth and join the Admiral's ship, and Acre to wait for further orders. This intelligence was notified to them when assembled for church parade, and in the afternoon they again assembled to have their kits examined. Lieutenant Curtis will take charge of the detachment to Plymouth, and they hourly expect to em bark in the Salamander steam-vessel for speedy conveyance.

This was an application on the part of the trustees of the creditors of Colonel Marsac, to have the Master's Report in the cause overruled. The estate of Colonel Marsac was subject to certain intern brances and annuities payable to his mother and sisters. Among the incumbrances were a mortgage on the estate, of 22.8001., bearing interest at 4i per cent., and an anhiiity of 8001, ; the difference between those sums was claimed both by the mother and sisters ot alone!

It gives a promise of being very valuable to the pro prietor, and of great benefit to the county. — Tyne Mercury.

East India Company. Mrs. Sarah Phillips, relict of deceased, said her husband was of such an excellent constitution, that he hardly ever knew a day's illness until Friday evening last, when on account of blotches on his face, he said he thought he wanted medicine. I brought some salts aed senna, and a blue pill. The latter he took about twelve o'clock at night, and appeared easy until about three o'clock next morning, when he complained of nausea, and said he thought the pill had stopped in his throat. He was afterwards sick three or four times, and expectorated frothy matter. About ten next forenoon he got up and com plained of sore throat, and could not swallow, or scarcely speak ;' I was persuaded to go and consult Mr. Richards, a neighbouring surgeon, who advised a gargle, which deceased used, but it did him no good. Finding hi n grow worse, his wife sent for Mr. Richards, and, while waiting for that gen tleman, he fell as she sat beside him lifeless into her lap. Mr. Richards, the surgeon, said that he was labouring under inci pient symptoms of delirium tremens. After having been for some time a teetotaller he broke out afresh, and the evening before his death he drank nine glasses of gin. This new beak out was the cause of his death. Terry, the beadle. was in !ormed that deceased was formerly in the habit of daily drink ing two pints of raw gin. Verdict—" Died of delirium tre mens, brought on by excessive drinking." Tuesday afternoon, about three o'clock, a young woman threw herself into the water in St. James's Park, when a gentleman plunged in after her, but it being very deep at the spot, and he being unable to swim, he was fearful of advancing further, but gave the alarm, when James Davis, one of the Park constables, and three others came to his assistance, and having joined hands they succeeded in reaching her, and brought her to the side in an apparently lifeless state. The surgeon to the Royal Humane Society was in immediate attendance, and having used active remedies for two hours succeeded in restoring her, when she gave her name Emily Winter, residing with Mr. Thorpe, of 42, Bury street, St. James's, one of her Majesty's gentlemen porters. WISDOM IN WlG.—One of our Judges not long since said'publicly that he hoped to see the day when those useless encumbrances would be thrown aside. I do not. For though there be no wisdom in the wig, there is much faith in it ; and the faith which the public has in it, is, in my opinion, quite as important to the public welfare as the wisdom that is under it.—Johnson's PhiiosophicNuts. NELSON, NEW ZEALAND.-The Directors of the New Zealand Company dined yesterday at Waite's Hotel, Gravesend, Mr. Soames, the Governor of the Company in the Chair. The object of the festival was to take farewell of the officers appointed to form the new colony of I\ elson, in New Zealand, and who took their departure about six o'clock P.m., for their station on board the " Whitby," and the " Will Watch." Previous to the banquet the Directors inspected these two vessels, with the view of ensuring that every comfort, had been afforded to all engaged in this enterprising under taking, and the result of the most scrupulous investigation, it is pleasing to hear, was in every respect satisfactory. l'here are sixteen civil engineers and surveyors on board, together with eighty fine able-bodied awl active labourers who, it is said have been selected from the flower of our yeomen, and as far as their appearance and re spectful conduct are concerned, it is but justice fully to bear out the compliment of tact and judgment bestowed upon those ou whom the choice devolved. Captain Wakefield, R.N., is appointed to take charge of the expedition ; and besides the gentlemen alluded to, his company consists of several sons of families of note, who have doubtless been induced to push their fortunes and embark their capital in these extensive and beau tiful islands, from the great success that has attended the first settlement of Wellington. Mr. Aglionby, M. P., was present during the whole ceremony. SAVINGS' BANKS.—According to a return made to the House of Commons, the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt received, in the course of the year 1840, the:sum of 2,788,1381. on account of the Savings' Banks deposits. The return states the securities in which the same has been vested, and the changes that have been made , from time to time in such investments. CAUTION TO OBSTINATE DRIVERS.--Late on Tuesday evening an inquest was held by Mr. Higgs, at the Coach and Horses, Flood-street, Westminster, on the body of William Miles, aged 37, carman, late in the employ of Messrs. Cooper, wharfingers, of Millbank-street. It appears from conflicting evidence, that on Saturday afternoon lest deceased was driving through Broad Sanctuary. Westminster, a cart laden with sand, in the direction of Westminster-bridge. At the same time a dray, belonging to Messrs. Elliott, the brewers, was being driven in the same direction, and there h:ing on the off side other vehicles, the drivers of the cart and dray tried to " cut in," or pass each other on the near side. In making this foolish attempt deceased, who was on the off side of the dray and on the near side of his own cart, was suddenly seen .o fall, having been jammed in between the wheels of the con tending vehicles. He was instantly picked up and taken to the Westminster Hospital, in which he died in the short space of three minutes. The Jury, seeing from the evidence, that the deceased was as much to blame as Messrs. Elliott's draymen, returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," with a nominal deodand of Is. on each vehicle. We regret to state that a report prevails of the loss of the Beagle surveying vessel, with all bands on board. By the latest Accounts from Trincomalee, the report was cur rent at that place. THE PHENIX AND BRITANNIA STEAMERS. —Our readers will remember the circumstances of the unfor tunate collision which took place between these vessels in the British Channel, off Dungeness, on the night of the 25th October last, when the former was so much injured that she sunk within a quarter of an hour after, and also the legal proceedings that have since ensued. The Tribunal of Commerce at Havre, which had been declared competent to try the case, has been occupied for some weeks past in pri vately examining the various documents connected with it, after a first hearing of the parties. On Saturday this Court delivered its Sentence, the text of which we find in the Hcivre Jolo'ntil. After recapitulating the evidence, whereby it appears that the fault lay on the side of Cap tain Stranack of the Britannia, ifho was coining up Chan nel with the wind in his favour, and all sails set, but with only one light at his foremast, and that Captain Lefort, of the Phenix ? was going down channel against the wind, without any sails, and with three lights at his paddle-boxes and foremast; and farther, that, from the evidence of the steers man, and the sworn exaininers, it appeared that the captain of the Britannia did not see the Phenik till he was elihe upon her, while the captain of the latter was aware of the Bri. tannia's coming', though he eoit'ld riot judge of her distance, . from her carrying only one light, Mit that he had done all he could to get out of her way ; and also since the deports of the examiners at Loudon, when they visited the Britannia, p'reved ihat it was this vessel which ran in upon the Phenix, and ndt otherwise, as hid been alleged; theitfore the Court decided that the General Stearn Conipany was liable to the Company owning the Pheitia, ler the kiss Of that vessel. In consequence of this the Court adjudged that the fainter Com pany should pity to the. latter 700,000 f., with interdst fresh the time of the defitasid tolt.ing made. or, as an equivalent for this, that an offer which, the formefCoMpany had made, of giving up to the latter, within a specified time, the Britannia steamer, with all her eniiii4Ss; tecq complete and good, together with the value of the freight on boardthe Britannia at the time, and the p,roduce of her passengers' fares (about 90/0 should be ac s c'epted; and that this should serve as a bar to any further pry-7 ceedings or other Claims.

COLONIAL BISHOPRICS.—GREAT MEET' Irto AT WILLIS'S RoOars.—Yesterday a meeting for the purpose of originating a fund for the foundation of colonial bishoprics, convened by the Archbishop of Canterbury, was „, held at Willis's Rooms. Long before two o'clock, the hour named for the meeting, the great room was crowded to excess. • ,-' and numbers were wholly unable to obtain admittance. The majority of the assembly consisted of clergymen, and there was also a considerable number of ladies. After several speeches had been made, and resolutions passed, in furtherance of the proposal for establishing a fund, the meeting broke up. ALLEGED UNNECESSARY INQUEST.—Yee' terday an inquest was taken before Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Camden Head, Camden-town, on Mr. John Horner, aged 46, * master baker, of No. 110, High-street, Camden-town. The deceased had for some time past complained of violent pains in his head, and on Wednesday evening last he became so bad that he was compelled to leave busintss and take to his bed. About seven o'clock on the following evenirg he became worse, and leeches were applied. He shortly after became sensible, and died at half-past nine on Friday morning. Mr' Williams, surgeon, gave it as his opinion that the cause o death was acute inflammation of the brain. Mr. William Gittens, a friend of the deceased's family, complained bitted); that the feelings of the deceased's widow and family should have been wounded by an inquisition. The Coroner said, in'. quests were frequently held through the injudicious conduct o: the friends of a deceased person themselves. A short tint since he was compelled to hold an inquest on a gentleman, Tr: consequence of his friends having two or three times shut th e , e doer in the summoning officer's face when, in the performs 7,_ of his duty, he sought for information. This created a tet,V,i te cion in the neighbourhood, and the officer had no, alterna s ' but to scud to the Coroner. Verdict, " Natural Death.” C rNA .-The following is an , extract.of a•lefr ter received here (Greenock), dated ,Macao, January 22 :-- " You will have heard that the Tokoktow and Chuenpee forts at the Bogue were taken on the 7th inst., that in the ace 0 0 ; lions there were 700 Chinese killed, that the hinese after the .00 action humbugged Elliot as usual, by only agreeing to part of s 4 the terms, that Hongkong was yielded to us, and that forts are to be built to protect it as a British settlement. On the 20th instant an edict was sent round Macao in the form of & circular for the information of the merchants here, by Captain Elliot, containing the preliminary arrangements between the Commissioner and Keshen. (The terms of these arrangements are already well kuown.) Trade is to open ten days after the Chinese new year (which is the 23d of January), and the mer chants at that time are to proceed up to Whampoa. Elliot continues as unpopular as ever among the people of Macao, on account of his temporising so much. Many here think that the Chinese are • only procrastinat ng for the purpose of making preparations for defending their country in ternally. It is stated, however, that Keshen said that he knew well enough we could take any place we wanted, but that he would not s•gn any paper ceding any place. This I caw readily believe, it appears so accordant with all I have seen of them. Ido not believe they will pay the money. Like the Quakers with the Edinburgh Annuity Tax, however, they will not resist our taking it. Several vessels are loaded with tea for Britain, got out of the Kosciusko, one of the two ships which have been lying up at %Vhampoa ,during the whore blockade. She belongs to Jardine, Matheson, and Co. Her being allowed to pass has been the subject of sad discussion by' the other merchants, who think it unfair to favor." one party and not all. The Kosciusko was so crammed that she has loaded the Lloyd's, the John o'Gaunt, and the Charles Kerr, all full and packed. The , c vessels went alongside of her at . . at o , Tongkoo, and will sail immediately.— Greenock Advertise'. THE CARRION Cnow,—About noon yester day the attention of the visitors in the ornamental gardens a ' St. James's Park was called to a large carrion crow hovering over the lake, apparently with the intention of attacking some of the birds. After contemplating the dimensions of am Egyptian goose for some time, he soared to a great height, from whence he descended with great velocity, pouncing upon a duck which was at the time seeking insects in the grass, surrounded by a numerous brood of young ones. The large, yellow bill of the carrion crow penetrated the neck of tne r S ig ia, - duck but (lid not kill it ; the crow then soared aloft again , 00 01 and came down rapidly, striking his prey again in the neck, ol fl o i s which extinguished life. The ferocious bird immediately,,i k e seized the duck in its mouth, and flew off in the direction of ,is c; 1 Cat hon Gardens. He, however, subsequently wheeled rouncl and retired to a more secluded spot, the rookery at Spring Gardens, to enjoy his meal. SINGULAR DELUSION.—Tuesday afternoon a Coroner's inquest was held in the Vestry-hall of the parish of St. John's, ,Horslydown, before Mr. Payne, on the bode of James Balser Welford, aged 35, butler to Richard Watt, Esq.. a gentleman of large fortune, residing in Fitzroy•square. The deceased had lived in the family of Mr. Watt, as butler, be tween nine and ten years, and was highly respected by every member of the family. During the lost ten weeks:previous t Easter Sunday, he appeared to oe labouring under extreme de pression of spirits, although he assigned no cause to any of hi* fellow-servants. On the evening of Easter Sunday, as was his• custom, he sat in the kitchen and read several chapters from the Bible to his wife and fellow-servants. While thus engaged, he, left off two or three times, saying there were 300 or 400 flies fly ing about his face, although t here was riot one to be seen. He likewise said there were a parcel of cats running about tile ~,q floor, although this was a delusion ; but so strongly was tlir impression fixed upon his mind, that he asked Wm. Coulson, 1 . - the foot-boy,-to assist him to eateh the cats. Between ten' , and eleven o'clock, one of the footmen went to calla cab for s'i f io a gentleman, wbo was on a visit to Mr. Watt, and uppri,,thel bell ringing deceased went up to the door without his hat r and , 49 . l , ; 4l in the course of half an hour he was missed. Nothing, however, was beard of him until about half-past six o'clack on Sunday evening, • when acting Inspector Adams, of the Tha mes Police„, observed a body floating down the river, which he caused to bea r { (o', lashed to his boat, and rowed it ashore, and upon searching A.! ; 11 ,, E t he found a letter which led to his identification.
