SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Before we notice the reports which are prevalent on the formation of the new Ministry, we must add to the list of those who retire.from the old one the name of Mr. Frankland Lewis. It will be: observed that the list consists 'of members who are considered as of a liberal cast of character; and hence it will he inferred, as a matter of course, that their places are to be supplied—pretty much as the places of the faithful servants of Don Pedro are to be filled up in Portugal—by Absolutists and Anti-constit utionalists. Indeed, if there could be any doubt on the subject, the joy of the old Lord Chancellor, expressed (at the dinner of the pro-Catholic Pitt) on the death of the late Ministry,—a joy so boisterous as to resemble that of old Falstaff on the death of King Henry the Fourth, --would prove what is to be expected. The evening papers repeat the exits from office, .as we have before presented them, without adding the name of the gentleman whom we have mentioned above ; but they do not give us the intrats. The public for a while, therefore, must be content with OUT character of them by anticipation, that they are high Tories. We have, however, heard Mr. Calcraft mentioned as a candidate for the situa tion of Paymaster of the Forces, and he has not hitherto been a Tory. Lord Aberdeen aml Lord Stuart of Rothsay are named as compe titors for the Foreign-office. The latter would not have been Lord Stuart of Rothsay, nor of any other " say," if Mr. Canning had lived. The former is considered as the humble representative of Prince Metternich in his British Majesty's councils. Lord Aberdeen, should he accept the Foreign Seals, would vacate the Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancaster, which should seem to be a thing on a level with the wishes or within the reach of the aspi rations of Lord Colchester, or Lord Bexley, or that other Lord of the same dimensions, the late Sir Charles, jadis Mr. Charles Long,—we forget his new title. Lord Lowther is spoken of for some thing_: he is an industrious man. We have heard that he would not come near Mr. Grant, for fear of being infected with religion, or he might otherwise have been Vice-President of the Board of Trade under the late Ministry. His Lordship is a firm enemy to Catholic emancipation. Lord Ellenbo rough, we presume, retains the Privy Seal: the Premier does not like to hear him talk, and the title to the office should seem to impose silence. Lord Castlereagh,—how many painful recollections does that name revive in the. country ! but the young man is not to blame : he, it is said, is to be Under- Secretary in the Foreign Office. His father has written a book, —or at least a book is brought forth under his name,—on the Peninsular war, which has proved highly distasteful to the Generalissimo of the Forces there; but if his Grace can overlook the relationship of the son to the father, well way the nation overlook that of the nephew to the uncle; the young Lord may make a sufficiently competent Under -Secretary. Mr. Peel,—may the lustre of his name exist as long as that of his velvet waistcoat ! which is no mean wish, for Lawrence has painted one, and he has only gilded the other himself—he retains his situation at present: we say " at present," because lie knows that neither the Duke, nor one that is still greater then the Duke, likes him. His so easily' conceding the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts has not been for given ; and in general he is (mud too feeble and va cillating in the House of Common', But still there is a merit with some, in his being the lever on which Mr. liuskisson poised himself somewhat fool ishly, to be lifted oat of office. This is all that we are able to communicate at present on the formation of the new Ministry; but the re-assembling of . Par- Lament to-night will doubtless lead to many inqui ries. Unhappily, the frequent changes in the Mini sterial body but too much familiarize all the Mejri bers, outs and ins, to personal explanations. We have almost as much of these as of national councils or state policy. We think it right to add, that there is much rumour, not in the din of general. conver sation, but in the buz of private whispers, of a change in the Admiralty. It is not y.a known what Lord AnglestP3's decision will be : it will probably arrive to-day. It is thought, however, among the well informed, that be will ;esign his office of Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland.--Time. Since the preceding remarks were written, we have learned with certainty that the Earl of Aber deen is appointed to be Secretary for Foreign Affaire. In speaking of this Nobleman, we will first prove oar impartiality by stating, in distinct terms, what . his frieeds allege of his character and pretensions. " He has always," say they, " been true to his principles, and rises with the rise of his party. He is a gentleman and a scholar, and, in spite of manners cold and reserved almost to haughti ness, kind-hearted, and affectionate. His under standing, naturally good, has been cultivated with care. He is capable of applies/ion, and—what for the credit of the country is important in that sta tion—he writes with ease, precision, and elegance. Nothing rash—nothing unseemly—nothing insolent, will disgrltee the foreign department during his ad ministration." Such we believe to be the language' and opinion of his Lordship's persoaal friends ; such let us admit to be the truth : but admitting, therefore, the appointment to he in some respeas a proper one, yet we cannot help feeling alarm at it, as a fearful indication of tko spirit by which the policy of the English - Cabinet is henceforth to be guided. Lord Aberdeen is a Tory of the order of Melchisedech; or rather he is something worse:: the ultraism of Vienna grafted upon the Toryism of Scotland, forms his creed. He had a strong loolitical, confirmed by some persona), dislike to Mr. Canning. His patron was Lord Castlereagh, and the Statesman whom he most ad mires is Prince Metternich, with whom on his em bassy to Vien na, he con t rac t e d a friendship which has never bee n ' interrupted." He is " the child and. the champion" of the system which we once flatter ed oureelves was finally broken up and abolished, but of which we now see too much reason to dread the revival. We are ready to do justice to the fisi vete character of Lord Aberdeen —an amiable and acco mplished Noblem an : but it is our duty to make the publie acquainted with the political feelings and opinions of a p erson called (reluctantly wQ MittOit presume to suspect) to so high a station by the go vereign that placed Mr. Canning at the head of hiS Government, and who, when suddenly ikprivo, en Minister, had notkirls the hand of death of his AD'? s o much at .heart as the rua i a ....fenance of thOtte grin-+, ciples by which his adm inistration had been guided. sym peoest ehtuL . already That change, of which the - become perceptible, and which must eoo.becomae rapid and total, is, we are persuaded, te be Iminee t to the irresistible force of arouwastances, and ;no t his o any corresponding. alteration in the wishes of any corresponding. • The reports of yesterday 'were, that the Earl of Aberdeen goes to the Forelp Office, Mr. Goulburn to the Colonies, Mr. Herries to the Exchequer; and Mr. Arbuthnot is to be transferre4 to the Mint. The idea of supplying the place of Mr. Hoskisson permanently by- Sir George Murray, would seem, therefore, to be abandoned. Some considerate friend has, perhaps, suggested to the Premier, that though he may have learned from his own experience that there is nothing so easy as to govern kingdoms and colonies, yet it may sot be prudent to impress this truth in too marked a manner on the public— and that upon the whole it may be more advisable 1 to allow them to place his own extraordinary, success to a miraculous facility of apprehension, worthy of the admirable Crichton, than by manufacturing another soldier into a politician at a moment's no tice, to bring the trade of politics into titter discredit,' Miracles in our day will not bear frequent repetition, A second youngßoscius would not answer ; and even Dr. Doyle, with all his eloquence, and Prime henlohe's prayers into the bargain, failed in a second or third attempt to cure stiffness in the joints of old ladies. Our Tory Gentlemen are quite satisfied with the one miracle in the person of his Grace, and wish not to weaken the effect of it by another in the person of Sir George Murray. They seem to think that something more is necessary to justify an appointment of this kind, than the declaration of his Grace, that his brother officer is sure to make a good Minister. " This is too'bad," was the universal language when the intelligence was first received. In the meantime, however, Sir. _ _ George Murray certainly acts as Colonial Minister. It is well observed, by an Evening contemporary (The Globe), "that the appointment has been so unpopular among the Tories, it is now given out that ultimately Mr. Goulburn will have the office —a prospect which certainly will reconcile the country to the continuance of Sir G. Murray as long as he pleases to remain—for a man , a s far as we can Judge from his past conduct in the same depart ment, more unfit than Mr. Goulburn for the difficult task of conciliating the inhabitants of the Colonies,- and relieving this country of the grievous expense by which it is oppressed in respect of them, cannot be found among all the officers of the Duke's Staff." —We observe in the Court Circular, that Lord Wallace transacted business yesterday at the Colo nial Office, Downing-street. Who knows but that bright Statesman may be prevailed on to relieve Sir George Murray ? A contemporary (The Stan dard) complains of the outcry that has been raised against Sir George Murray's appointment, because, " though one of the ablest men, and one of the most accomplished scholars in any country, he is also a gallant officer." That he is accmnplished has been pronounced by better judges of such matters than either ourselves or our contemporary; and it is equally certain, that in the last speech he made in the House, he quoted largely from Horace. We know not whether it is merely on the faith of this ambi tious display, that our contemporary bears testimony to his scholar-craft ; which, for aught we know, may equal that of a Beck or a Herman. All that we would wish to observe is, that the classical studies of this accomplished scholar do not exactly amount to a proof that he is able to supply the place of Mr. Huskisson in the administration of the Colonies, in such a manner as to leave the nation no cause to regret the retirement of that Minister, and the aban donment of his plans. But Lord Lowther is, it seems, to have the Woods and Forests. As yet we hear of no farther accession of strength to the Ministry. It is known that Lord Lonsdale, as well as the Duke of Newcastle, never gave in their accession to the Duke's Ministry. Bassetlaw was to gain the Duke of New castle; but the appointment of Mr. Becket had failed to gain the other borough proprietor. Lord Lowther's elevation to the Cabinet will, per haps, be taken as the fair Lonsdale quota of the Government. If Earl Dudley had had any hesita tion as to the course to be taken at this conjuncture, he was relieved from it by our derided Premier, who, on the retirement of Lord Howard de Wal den, thrust Lord Castlereagh on the Foreign Secre tary as his Deputy, without even the courtesy of consulting him. There was no mistaking the meaning of this. It was impossible to show more distinctly that the rudeness of his Grace towards Mr. Huskisson was not accidental, but the result of a plan to thrust the whole of the liberal and mode rate men out of the Cabinet on the first occasion which should present itself. His Grace has never been 'accused of much kindness or delicacy; but if he had not had particular reasons for thrusting out Lord Dudley and Lord Palmerston, and Messrs. Huskisson, Grant, and Mr. Wm. Lamb, with as little delay as possible, he is not so deficient in cunning, or the usages of the world, as to have acted towards them in the manner he has acted. It has no doubt been determined by him to play a bold game of some kind or other. He has already thrown the Tories into no small alarm. We are assured that a very large body of Members of Parliament, of Tory principles, who habitually sup port the Government, have joined in conveying to Mr. Huskisson their disapprobation of the proceed ings by which the country has been deprived of the services of so able and experienced a Minister, at so trying a conjuncture as the present, and a determi nation to support him in parliament, if he will place himself at.the head of those who dread a departure from moderate- measures. It was to be expected that the general disapprobation - of the blustering conduct of the Duke should find a vent in this way. We are not yet sunk co low, surely, as to be treated as the mere appanage of the Lonsdales and the New. castles, or so mad as to embark without a struggle ;sr the attempt to complete the conquest of Ireland. ---/tior,s-ing Chronicle. Lord Aberdeen having succeeded to the Foreign Office, the arrangements for filling the place vacated by his Lordship were not made till Wednesday night, when it was finally settled that Mr. Arbuth not, the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, was to succeed the Noble rail in the Chancellor ship of the Duchy of Lancaster. The order for making out the necessary patent (it being a patent office) was given at midnight on 'Wednesday, and is now in preparation. Lord Lowther, there is little doubt, succeeds Mr. Arbuthnot in the Commissioner- ship of the Woods and Forests. Sir George Murray will be sworn ;u secretary of State for the Colonial Department this day. Mr, Herries leaves the Mas tership of the Mint, to succeed Mr. Charles Grant in the Presidency of the Board of Trade, It is very probable:that there will likewise be a new Vice-Pre sident, as Mr, Prenkland Lewis has been talked of as likely to take the Secretaryship of Ireland or the M as t e rship of the Mint. It has also been hinted at that Lord F. Gower has resigned, but it is only a rumour. Mr. Planta certainly stays in. Lord toward de Walden, it is understood, took his leave of the Foreign-office on Wednesday night. His successor ziirl, it is believed, be Lord Castlereagh, the son of the Marvis of Londonderry. • It is gene sally supposed that Lord Fitzroy Somerset, the pre sent Secretary to the Coratnapder of the Forces, will fill some of the vacant offices, as both his Lord ship and Lord Hill have had very frequent commu nications with both the Duke of Wellington and Me. Peel. The Noble Lords.had an interview with the Presii,er yesterday on the subject. The event has not traiessired. Lord Somerset was a very great favourite with ,*.he Noble Duke on the field, isnd it is believed equally so with Lord Hill, in his capacity Secretary.—Morning Irrrold. The appointsesat of Sir G. Murray to the dsjo nial Department is the only sme which has yet been completed. :1 be other arrangements, however, remain unaltered, and will probably pe njj carried into effect sis we stated yesterday. The Duke pf Wellington wil? now have to supply an additional vacsancy ? Lord F.

The Noble Duke is a deeper 'Statesisea than people generally imagine England. say n pn g lnd, because the blaze of his mii.Piry glory has :concealed fiisp the eyes of his fellow eitiz's the qualities of which sl)ey have not hithertii • ssitnessed the .pl'isClico those cories which have seat of his t r i ump h s , #O -#1 they will ttbecxelieeetini.eyi.isiohches.:ty by yt But askw whilst h e regained or iephslsl the sword, he remoulded their Go-' vernments, amendeu their Constitutions, embodied' their resources, and superipterghial the administration of their affairs , in a manner which ,seeursd to them amidstalllhe tadvantages which it was possibl e t o en j oy , 3 and h orr ors of war. It is only in this country that his Grace% '44Ministrative talents have been doubted, because he neYe,i' ypi, had an opportunity - of displiiying their ette,tits ve , they proceed, now reveal them; and the more they Y..itts are tasked the more will they he found to rise till the full maguitusle .of their proportions he : developed, and his Grace's reputation and succesS as a N l Piss ter do that which no other repsi of gttccesys tAtisM amid Itehieve--ual military AU"' We are happy to fled that the ;report resignation is untrue.. We noticed it yesterday aS an' idle rainonr, and observed theit a man brought up like him by the late iNlassplit: o f Londonderry, and connected since his political bii th with Tory politics, could not but feel himself at his place in a complete Tory Administration. The attention.and ability .with which .he has dis charged his duties in all the situations which he has filled, as well as the principles which he has imbibed and always practised, entitle him, besides, to the full confidence of a Ministry friendly to the real interests of the country. We are assured that, notwithstanding the retirement of Earl Dudley, there will be no, change whatever in our foreign policy. It is wrongly described as Mr. Canning's policy. The fact is,•that it was the Duke of Wel lington's, founded, indeed, On the system originated by the late 'Marquis of Londonderry, but established by the Noble Duke during his last mission to St. Petersburgh, though the trouble of giving it life and action had devolved, through the circumstances of the times, apon other hands than his. Can a donbt be entertained, 'therefore, that his Grace will sup- port his own policy, and hat if alarm arise in foreign .arts, in consequence of the resignations in our Cabinet, it will be dispelled the moment it is known that the Noble Duke remains at the head of the Ministry?—New Timer.' The fallen Liberals are consoling themselves, in their disgrace, with the supposition' that the Duke of Wellington and his colleagues are involved in un foreseen and almost insurmountable difficulties, and that they are dreadfully alarmed at the situation in which they are. placed. We can, however, posi tively assure these worthies, that the Ministers are neither involved in unforeseen difficulties, nor in any way alarmed at their situation ; but that, on the contrary, they look forward with confidence to a satisfactory completion of the necessary arrange ments. With regard to these arrangements, the Duke of Wellington is too experienced a General to adopt any course, without first giving it a most mature consideration ; and consequently the settle ment of the Cabinet will not be made known to the public for some days. Speculation on the subject varies materially. The King is un derstood to have consulted the venerable Earl of Eldon on the present state of affairs; and it is generally believed that his Lordship is to have a seat in the new Cabinet. In such a case, it is probable that the Presidency of the Council will be offered to the Noble Lord, and- that the services of Earl Bathurst will be transferred to the Foreign Office. To this arrangeMent; we think, no objec tion can be' made. Earl Bathurst is calculated, as well by his acknowledged aptitude for business as his long experience in diplomatic affairs, to preside over our Foreign policy in its present complicated state ; and, on the other hand, the admission of Lord Eldon would impart to the Cabinet a principle of strength which would gain for it the good-will and confidence of every well-intentioned man in the country. Be the result, however, what it may, we rely willingly on the discretion of the Duke of Wel lington. In the mean time, we augur very favoura bly of the Learned Lord's interview with our gracious Sovereign. We are glad also to perceive that the Earl of Westmoreland has been in consultation with 'the Premier at the Treasury. The Earl of West morland has the reputation of being a firm adherent to the true constitutional principles of the Protestant 'Tories ; and in these days of Liberalism and non sense, this is certainly no slight recommendation. We know not whether the interview in question re lated to Ministerial matters ; but of this we are sure, that the fears of many, who felt and expressed their disappointment at the omission of Earls Eldon and Westmorland, would be removed, were those No blemen once more Members of His Majesty's Go vernment. We repeat, however, that we are con fident in the prudence of the Dike of Wellington. His Grace, as we stated yesterday, is convinced of the utter worthlessness of the Liberals, and has therefore determined to get rid .of them altogether; conscious that he cannot better fulfil the wishes of his fellow-countrymen, than by rallying around him those men who support the great and noble prin ciples of Pitt.--./1/Oenink Post. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAN - 29. THE ARCHBISHOP OF TUAM V. ROBESON AND ANOTHER, Mr. LONG opened the pleadings. In this case the Right Hon. and Most Rei'erend Power Le Poer French, Lord Archbishop of Tuam, was the plaintiff, and John Robeson and Henry Thwaits were the de fendants. The declaration charged, that the de fendants had published a certain libel in the Morn ing Herald, asserting that the plaintiff had endea voured to induce one Thomas M'Guire, a Roman Catholic priest, by offers of pecuniary compensation, to renounce the faith which he professed and to be come a Protestant. The defendants pleaded the general issue. Mr. Sergeant WILDE (with whom was also Mr. Sergeant MEREWETHER) stated the case for the plaintiff. The libel in- question appeared in the Morning Herald of the Bth of November last. It was admitted that the plaintiff was Archbishop of Tuam at the time of the publication of the al leged libel, and that the defendants were the printer and publisher of the Morning Herald. The libel was then put in, and read by the Asso ciate. Mr. Peter Gorman, on three several occasions, had seen a person, who had been pointed out to him as the Rev. Mr. M'Guire, and whom he be lieved to be the person alluded to in the defendants' publication. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Sergeant TADDY submitted that the evidence was not sufficient to prove the identity of Me. M'Guire • but The L ORD CHIEF JUSTICE having recalled the witness, and examined him at considerable length, was of opinion that there was sufficient evidence to go to the Jury. Mr. Sergeant TADDY then addressed the Jury for the defendants, after which the Jury returned a ver dict for the plaintiff—Damages 50/. NATHAN V. PRICE. The plaintiff in this case was a celebrated musical composer, and the object of the present action was to recover a compensation from the defendant, who .is the patentee of Drury-lane Theatre, for certain musical compositions which he had furnished in the opera of The Illustrious Stranger." Witnesses were then galled, who proved that in %ructions had been given by the defendant to the plaintiff, to compose the music s and that he hod accordingly done so, am tii4t it had been performed with great success for many nights, For the defendant, it was contended that it was rot usual for the patentees of large theatres to pay any thing tp composers for the music furnished by them when they resprved to themselves the sale of the copyright. ' In support of this case, Mr. Knny, thg. author of '° The Illustrious Stranger," and several other ' dra: matic works, was called, and his evidence, with that of Mr. T. P. Cooke, fully bore out the statement that tip Qppizensation was made by the proprietors of 'the larger theatres, whi t rp the sale of the copy right was reserved 'to. ;,he composer. . Upon the strength of this .evidence, after some hesiiatickii., the Jury found for the defendant.

The Tunnel was again opened for public inspec tion on Monday, and yesterday we availed ourselves of an opportunity to visit it. The water has been entirely withdrawn from the shaft, and the southern end of the tunnel is also drY, to the extent of be tween two and three hundred feet. From the re mainder (about 350 feet) the water has not as yet ; been removed. At the shield, where of course the depth is greatest, there are about seven feet of i water ; but the application of a proper degree of engine power is only necessary in order to free the tunnel completely from it. This, we understand, is now in course of acconaplishment ; and when fully carried into effect, no physical obstacle will remain to prevent the undertaking from being resumed. ' Pending the complete expulsion of the water, and the removal of the mud, and other extraneous matter, introduced at the time of the last irruption, the labour of excavation, &c., has been suspended, and the worki remain in the same state as before the ac cident, no.progress having been since made. Mean while painters have been employed, and are now engaged in colouring the walls of the western arch, to which only visitors are admitted, the eastern being appropriated as before to the passage of the workmen and carts, employed in the undertaking. For the first 140 or 150 feet the visitors' archway has been cleared out : the Roman cement with which the walls are plastered, far from having sustained any injury, appears to have become harder by its exposure to the water ; and not a single weather mark or stain remains to remind the spectator of the late terrible irruption. At the end of the space above mentioned a bar is fixed up, beyond which visitors ate not at present permitted to proceed; the workmen being engaged iLt colouring the walls at the other side. As this work shall have been com pleted, and in proportion as the water is pumped out, it is intended to enlarge the space allotted for the inspection of those who may visit the Tunnel. Previously to the accident persons were allowed to advance about 400 feet into it. The Tunnel, it will be remembered, has been carried a distance of 600 feet from south to north under the bed of the River, and within► 350 feet of low-water mark on the oppo site side. Notwithstanding . the prodigious force of the influx of water at the time of the recent acci dent, the arches, foundation, and brick-work, have not been in the slightest degree damaged or disturbed, a circumstance that affords the best evidence of the strength and durability of the work. We were given to understand that no leakage from the bed of the River exists, and the Directors have expressed their entire confidence in the security of the works, rand the safety with which they may be viewed. I Our own observation tends to confirm this as- surance. The sum already expended in carrying on the works (including disbursements for Parliamentary expences, purchases of property, machinery, &c.) amounts to about 130,0001., and it is calculated that a further sum of 150,0001. will be necessary for the completion of the Tunnel. This money it is pro posed to raise under the authority of a Bill, which, we believe, is at present before Parliament. It should not be forgotten, that the original estimate of the expense of the undertaking was only 166,000/. From what has occurred, however, it is manifest the Tunnel cannot be completed for a sum much below 300,000/. Even with that expendi ture, hopes are entertained that the Shareholders may look for a fair remuneration; and the Directors have expressed their opinion, that there can be now no reasonable doubt of final success. To this opi nion we are disposed to subscribe, so far as physi cal impediments are concerned. No doubt they may be surmounted, provided the scarcely inferior difficulty of obtaining the requisite funds be got over. We are not surprised that an undertaking of so bold and novel a character should have excited a vast deal of interest, not only in this country, but on the continent of Europe. If completed in ac cordance with the original design it will be a splea did monument of the ingenuity and enterprise of the present *we._ Though, unli4 that magnificent struc:: ture, Waterloo Bridge, it will not form a new artery , through the mighty heart of London, it may be ex pected to become an important channel of commu nication between the extremities. We have only to add our sincere wishes for the success of this grand subaqueous bridge. A Roman tesselated pavement, in good pre servation, was discovered a few days ago at Lancing Hill, about three miles from Shorebam.—Brighton Gazette. A man named DUNNING, who has resided some time in this neighbourhood, was returning from a walk, when he was stopped about half-way between this city and Bache Pool, by two men, who seized him, knocked him down, blindfolded him, and tied his legs together, and his hands behind his back. They then carried him into an adjoining field, and placed him be hind a hay-stack belonging to Mr. KEARSLEY, of the Nag's Head Inn, Foregate-street, where they stripped him of his coat and rifled his pockets of five sove reigns, a five-pound Bank of England note, and a silver watch. 'I hey then produced some liqUid in a cup or other small vessel, nearly the whole contents of which they compelled him to swallow, under a threat of being in stantly murdered if he refused ! They then laid him on his back, so that he could not rise without assistance, and left him, taking their way, as he supposes, towards Liver pool. He soon fell into a sound sleep, and did not awake till the next afternoon, when he was discoiered by a young man named SANDRACH, in the employ of Mr. W. COLE, the architect of the new Lunatic Asylum, who untied his hands and legs, and took the bandage from his eyes. He is unable to give any description of the robbers, from the suddenness of the attack upon, and one of them having a mask or piece of crape over his face.— Cheiter Courant. UNWRAPPING OF A MUMMY.--About thirty gentlemen were present yesterday afternoon, at the unwrapping of a mummy, in Ssraux's Ro oms, Thistle street, under the superintendence of that collector of curio sities, JOHN HOWELL. It had lain for some time past in his shop in Howe-street, for the purpose of wooing stab scribers, who were to have a vote in the disposal of it, after witnessing the unwrapping. As far as we could hear, from the conversation among the by-standers, the history of the mummy was—That it had been originally sent, along with another, from Alexandria, to be presented to the University of Gottingen. The vessel which carried them was, however, wrecked on the coast of Holland ; and the materials and cargo that were saved, being sold at Bremen, the.present male mummy was purchased by a Jewish merchant of Hainburgh. The other, a female, had been almost wholly destroyed. The former was sold to a gentleman of this country subsequently, who, after having kept it for some time, thought proper to dispose of it by subscription. The case which contained the mummy is in a state of excellent preservation, with the exception of one s ide. A good deal of disappointment was experienced, when on proceeding to unwrap the body, it was discovered that this must have been done before, and that the cunning Jew had reclothed it with the ancient habiliments. The proofs of this were evident in the'modern Bhaa, awl Wing, used in attempting to restose its form. When the outer covering wa4 rpmqcd, the trunk was a good deal Pltilated-r:rohably by those who had formerly taken off the wrappings, or from the immersion of the mummy in the salt water for eight or nine days, before it was ri,..eo r vered from the wreck. The hole which is c.om,trionk Oir ; served in mummies, was pieree4 on the soft Bide, an ot large eziough to idinit a airtail covering from the chesf t)eiirg eat away, the inside was found filled with small pieces of the same cloth with which the whole had been wrapped.

CORONER'S INQUEST. On Wednesday evening'Tuos. gTIRLING, Es4' Coroner for Middlesex, and a respectable jury, 0 sembled at the King's Arms, Rawstorne-stree t Clerkenwell, for the purpose of investigating til l circumstances attending the death of Richard Bride man, an infant aged three months, whose death W occasioned by the parents administering to it 6 , certain medicine called diacodium, furnished them) ) ) a man named Nicholson, who is in the habit of selling it to individuals for complaints of the bowels. James Bridgman, cutler, of Rawstorne-stree t, stated that, the deceased, who was three months 0 14 was his child ; on Saturday and Sunday last, the poor babe being unwell in the bowels, he was re commended to go to a man named Nicholson, ' who lives in Ironmonger-row, St. Luke's, and to purch oe " of him some medicine for the child; he went the: accordingly, and bought two-pennyworth of the still , which was served him by Nicholson, 'who drew ! out of a bank.] ; the quantity filled a small 0 0 ; and witness asked him at the time what was a sol'. ficient quantity for a • child three months Oa; Nicholson replied, three tea-spoonsful, which' 1 0 the fOurth part of the contents of the phial ; on Sun: day night, between eight and nine o'clock, his WO gave the deceased three tea-spoonsful of the inek tine, and then put it to-bed; about three o'clock i ° the morning the child was taken with convulsion and notwithstanding medical attendance, he expire" a few lionrs afterwards. CoRoNER--Who recommended•.you . to: go' i° Nicholson for the medicine ? Witness--A relaitolb named Withers, who gave •her child some of . same stuff for t he O same complaint; about eight moi) 0 ago, and which did it good. Juror--Are you sure you asked Nicholson at time you bought it, what was a suffiCient quantiti for a child of the deceased's age ? Witness—Yo I am convinced I did. • Juror—Did you know what the- Medicine fee composed of ? Witness--I was entirely ignorO P of the composition. Mr. Robert Roberts, surgeon, of 46, Goiwel l ' road, was sent for on Monday morning last, to se e the deceased, whom he found quite dead. He W I some liquid in a phial, three tea.spoonsful of whirl' he was informed by the parents, had been given ! f) the deceased the night previous. He analysed and discovered that it was a strong preparation f. opium, and infinitely stronger than the preparatio P usually supplied by surgeons. The dose given the deceased was, in witness's opinion, sufficient to destroy its life. Thomas Nicholson stated that he lived at 14! Ironmonger-row, St. Luke's, and was a green-groce r ' Witness remembers Mr. BridgMan , calling on 10, on Sunday last, and requesting to .be supplied wit" twopence worth of the stuff which he was in tb e habit of selling to persons as a medicine. Witne°, furnished him with a small phial full out of a barreY and received twopence in payment. He had bee ° in the habit of selling the medicine for complaiO of the bowels, for the last five years ; on witnel taking the house he at present occupies he fart a quantity of bottles in the shop window, whio contained the medicine, and was informed that eves. person who had r es id e d t h ere f or ' t h e l ast 20 yeo'' had retailed it t o th e p u bli c . Wi tness f ormer ly pup chased the medicine of Dr. Huxtable, of St. street, but for the last three years of Mr. Winu% surgeon, of Whitecross-street. Witness has .11- receipt for the medicine, and does not know fr° l° what it is prepared. At the suggestion of the Jury, the inquiry' ! I adjourned till yesterday evening, for the purpose having the attendance of Dr. Huxtable and 'l* . Winder. Accordingly yesterday evening the investigati t4 was resumed, and the following additional. evident"! taken : Mr. Benjamin Winder, surgeon; of • No. 64 ', Whitecross-street, had known Nicholson and his o r mily for the last three years; during the above P, e l ; nod witness had been in the habit of supplying .lll at different times with syrup of poppies, or ate 'dium : he generally purchased 31b. at a time; Wit; , ness gave him no directions as to its use, as he' been told that he (Nicholson) had been in the habied of selling it a number of years. Witness is d e : cidedly of opinion that any quantity of the comP sl ; Lion is improper to be g i ven t o a c hild o f the tender age of three months. Mr. John Huxtable, surgeon, of 'No. 104 ) se : John-street, deposed, that Nicholson was former! supplied at his shop with syrup of poppies or diet': dium. Half a tea-spoonful was a large dose for child of six months. There being no further evidence, .the follow verdict was 'returned :—" That the deceased 0 - - . t died in consequence o f h av i ng h a d a d m i n i stere d incautiously an over-dose of medicine, called dia" dium, sold as a substitut e f or.
