In these few simple words the author has well described the character of his work. It is indeed a plain and unvarnished sketch of his Oriental wanderings, unembellished by any thing like glowing de scription, and depending for effect almost exclu sively on the apparent, strict, homely truth of its details. The author, it seems, was ordered on foreign service in the autumn of the year 1835, and left Plymouth in an Indiaman bound for Ceylon. Nothing of interest occurred during his voyage, except that in crossing the Line lie was—according to immemorial custom—" ducked, 'shaved, and made uncomfortable for a whole week," byNeptune and his vvaggish associates,who, because he evinced a dislike of their rough prac tical jokes, treated his face town additional quan tity of pitch and paint. On reaching Ceylon'," where he staid but a few days, and of which he gives us, in consequence, little or no account, lie again took shipping for Calcutta, with whose splendid appearance he was, of course, as much struck, as all are who visit for the first time that Oriental City of Palaces. Our readers may, per haps, like to see his account of the habits of daily life prevalent in Calcutta,. and we subjoin it ac cordingly : The life one leads in the City of Palaces is much that of all India—namely, rising two hours before sunrise ' • a gallop round • the course follows, when, co ns ig n i ng both your horse and yourself to the hands of their respective servants, by half- past nine they manage to wind one for breakfast. By an Indian breakfast by no means must. . be, understood that simple bread, tea t and butter, which compose an English one : on the contrary, it involve, among its component parts meat, fish, eggs, omelets ; not to mention the eternal curry and rice, which neither breakfast nor dinner in this country is complete without. Visiting, scandal (which last abounds in India), and the usual routine of a large English society, kill time till luncheon, or tiflin, as it is called, whichris'again a most substantial meal. After this meal, parties generally dis perse to their rooms, and amuse themselves as best they may till driving hour (five, or half-past five), which can not take place till after the sun is down. At that time a most extraordinary collection of vehicles make their appearance on what - is called the course, from the superb " turns out" of the grandee to the little gig of the Calcutta shopkeeper. • The author made but a brief stay at Calcutta, and then steamed up the Ganges for several hundred miles, accompanied by his uncle, Ge neral Sir Henry Fane, and a party, and, atter passing many fine towns and magnificent ruins of palaces on their voyage, arrived at the far-famed sacred city of Benares, which presents a most, picturesque appearance from the river, and whose houses are, many of them, six stories high, built of stone, each storey containing one family, and many covered with execrable paintings of Hindoo Gods and worthies of different kinds. In some of the streets these houses on either side come so close as to be united by galleries, and in almost all a good jumper would clear the street with . ease. " The close packing of this place," observes the author, " must be extraordinary, as from the top of the Mosque, built by Aurung-. -, zebe, the city (hies not appear to extend above a mile any way, 'and yet it is said to contain a po pulation of 050,000 inhabitants.", Benares, we are told, is by far the richest city in India, and carries on a very extensive trade with all parts of the Continent, particularly in silks and bro cades, which are superb, but very expensive. It is considered so holy, 'that if even a Christian 'were to die there, he would most likely go to the Hindoo heaven. On reaching Delhi, after a long and fatiguing march, our author was greatly struck with the ruinous condition of this once famous capital of the powerful Mogul empire. Who has not heard of Sultans Jehang uire, Baber, and Akbar, their e normous wealth, and flourishing: metropolis, which monopolized almost all the wealth of the East? Yet, " how are the mighty fallen ?" Delhi is now mere a third-rate city, though the Great Mogul still lives in the palace of his ancestors, if a ruinous mass of mud and dirt can be called such. We subjoin an amus i ng account of our author's interview with the pre sent King of Delhi : The. present King is a mean, vulgar-looking individual of sixty. He was handsomely dressed, and had on some really very fine jewels, particularly pearls.. The throne which is still called the peacock throne; was in the time of Akbar said, to have had jewels on it to the value of 20,000,0001., and Nadir Shah took from it upwards of 14,000,0001. A single diamond which formerly stood at the top, which is now replaced by a piece of glass (the Koh-c-nor), was valued at upwards of 3,000,0001. ; and the peacocks which stand at each corner had each a string of pearls in their beaks, valued at 100,000/. These, like the diamonds, are now replaced by false ones, and the jewels on the body of the throne. have descended into, `coloured glass. The room, or open colonnade, in which this object stands, is very beautif u lly f ormed of white marble, inlaid w i t h gold, and is still in tolerable repair, though, the purdahs and carpets which composed its fur niture were:in a sad state of dilapidation. After each had been presented and paid his money, which his Majesty took especial care not to lose, we were severally led. away to receive the kelat, or robe of ho nour—a farce which the Government still keep up, in spite of its marvellous absurdity. The General was robed in the King's presence, but we of th e sma ll f ry marched into anoth er room, to be ,made such figures as never were seen, even at Greenwich fair. Each of us had first a piece of rag tied round our cocked hats, by way of tur ban ; after which a robe of spangled white muslin was thrust over epaulettes, sword, and all ; over which again they treated each of us to a jacketof cloth of silver; and in this tomfool's dress we were again trotted across the court, obliged (which was the most difficult performance of the whole) to keep from laughing, and again to be presented to the King and be bedizenel with a parcel of glass' jewels and trumpery, to the value of two gold mo hurs ; for'which civility the company treated the King to another gold mohur from each. While this was going on, three or four heralds were making as much noise as possible, by roaring at the top of their voices the titles and honours which had been 'conferred on the Commander-in-Chief, and how much honoured he ought. to .be by the distinction conferred upon him by the " Asylum of the Universe." He was treated to a coloured stick, which is, I believe, synony mous to the baton of a field-marshal ; to the drums of state, which. conf er th e power o f li fe and death ; and to 'the fallowing titles :—" The Lion of the State," " The Sword of the E m pi re ," " Th e G randee of the Age," " Sir H. Fane Bahadour, the strength of war." This ceremony being concluded, we were again made to salaam, and, in the dress we had received, were trotted out to the gate to ouc elephants, and again went through the town ; I, for one, feeling more ashamed .of myself than I had done for many a long year. We were not allowed to take off our dress till our arrival in camp, as that would have seemed diSrespectful to his Majesty ; and so strict is Government on this point, that Mr. Fraser, the resident, some years ago, having thrown off his dress and given it to the beggars in the street, received a strong reprimand froth his superiors, and was even threatened with the loss of his place. The second, volume is, for the most part, taken up with particulars of a visit paid by the author and his fellow-travellers to the Court of Runjeet Sin g , and notices of th e l ate expe di t i on to Cabul and Affghanistan ; but as these subjects-have already been well nigh exhausted by preceding travellers, we here forbear from enlarging on them. Suffice it to say that Mr.•Fane, the author, has produced a very rea d a bl e work—notwith standing that the majority of his details are :want ing in novelty ; and his volumes are ill ustrated with some twelve or fourteen cleverish engraving LOCKHART'S LIFE OF SIR WALT ER SCOTT. Cudell, Edinburgh, 1841. • In this large octavo volume is comprised the whole of Mr.. Lockhart's Memoir of Sir Walter Scott, originally published in seven - vo l umes; the work is beautifully printed, is embellished with a half-length portrait of th e bi ographer, and not less than three likenesses of the great novel ist, taken at differ ent per i ods of his life—that is to say, in boyhood, manhood, and age. Of all the likenesses, the most expressive is decidedly the bust,' exeduted by Chantrey in marble, and presented by th at great artist to the original. The volume, considering' its extreme elegance, is singularly cheap in price. FAT HERS AND SONS, :3 Poll. Cab urn, London, 1841.

The region having arrived when an increased demand for Brandy generally exists, J. T. BETTS and CO. avail themselves of the opportunity again to remind the Public of the fact, which has long been established, and is now generally ad • mated, that their PATENT BRANDY possesses a degree of purity, and wholesome properties, unknown in a very large proportion of Foreign Brandies ; whilst The flavour so nearly approaches that of the best qualities of Cognac, that it is diffi cult to judge between them. The similarity, in this respect, might be made perfect; but such a fancied , advantage could only be obtained by imitating certain impurities, existent in the Foreign productions, from which the Patent Brandy is exempt; as is demonstrated by the Testimonials of the most eminent Chemists, to whom it has been submitted for analysis ; and is, further, abundantly proved by the sanction of Medical Men of the highest standing, as well in their private practice, as in their directions to employ it in the Civil and Military Hospi tals, Infirmaries, and other Charitable Institutions, throughout the Country. under their charge ; where it has superseded Fo reign Brandy. J. T. Betts and Co. regard these facts as the only comment necessary to be offered upon the attempts which are yearly made, and as certainly and fr&prently abandoned, to introduce articles of the sumo class: which a very short experience has proved to be utterly destitute of those qualities necessary to justify their claims to public s upport. This valuable Spirit is manufactured only at the Distillery of J. T. Betts and Co., No. 7, Smithfield. bars, London ; and is sold by the Spirit Dealers in all parts of the Country ; or by Agents specially appointed, under Scaled 'Certificates, where there are no Dealers who keep the article. WOOLLEN TRADE LEEDS, DEC. 23.—We have no new feature to remark in the foreign wool trade since our last report. The sales for this season have been to a fair ex tent,-and prices are well maintained. The amount of business transacted in the English Wool Market has only been to a trifling extent during the week, and prices remain unaltered. . TRADE OF LEED S .—Th e same dull state of trade con tinues at our Cloth Halls this week as last, and this was more particularly, the ease on Tuesday, which' was one of the worst markets we ever witnessed. Remunerating prices cannot at 'present be obtained, even' with the very limited supply which `has lately been brought to .market. The manufacturers are in a state of despondency, and express themselves determined to still further narrow their operations,and although this will fall heavily upon the labouring 'part of the population in the manufactur ing villages, who are even now scarcelyAglfemployed, it is the only safe policy they can. pursue until a better state of things takes place. A rew houses are ehgaged in sending off a few orders for the spring trade to the . United States, but, with this except i on, there is scarcely any business doing in the warehouse,—Leeds Mercury. I THE BUYERS AND SELLERS 07 BARGAINS. —During the past week the trading community of Lon don have been. unusually excited, by the examination Of a bankrupt linen-draper, before Mr. Commissioner Hol royd. If the allegations made, by the bankrupt turn out to be true, nothing can be more humiliating to the cha racter of our international trade. 'Tis true' we have heard of such transactions, but have never befOre had the details so fully given. We very much fear that those disclosures form only a' part of the system which the cupidity of .John Bull has Called into life. " Bank rupt Stock' —" Tremendous Sacrifice" —" 50 per Cent. under Prime Cost"—and such like announcements meet us at every' corner of the street ; and the purchasers that crowd to these places seem anxious, not that the vendor should gain an honest living, or that the manufacturer of the articles vended should do so, but that he or she, the purchasers, should get us much of the property of both as possible, without any consideration. It is this want of honesty on the part of the thousands of buyer, that is much_ more to, be censured than..the craft and trickery of the hundreds o f sellers. • Who ever heard of `a purchaser that had declined to purchase at a shop -of thi s kind, a silk, for instance, because it was too cheap—because it was known that the price asked could not pay the cost of manufacturing ? And yet - this buy ing too cheap, under other circumstances, is held to be a proof of buying; knowing to have been stolen. At the Old Bailey, the low price which receivers pay is consi dered as indubitable evidence of a guilty knowledge. How indignant would sonic of our fair purchasers be if . it were even insinuated that the rich brocade, purchased at a cutting s:iop for two• thirds its value, was the pro duct of a bargain made between folding doors, with the buyer and seller hid from each other. Or fancy one of our respectable matrons, detailing to her family her prowess in scenting a bargain, and exulting in the dif ference in price between honest Mr. So - and-so's over the way, and 'the price she paid, tieing gr ave ly accosted by some sober friend, " - Madame, these. things could not have been manufactured for the price you hare paid fer somebody has. been robbed, are you content'that your children shall participate in the dish onesty ?

TIIE MIND, AND . .OTHER POEMS. • Tilt and Boyne, London, 1841. In this . splelidid octavo volume, which is.worthy to vie with the illustrated editions of Campbell and Rogers, lately phblished by Moxon, and which contains several exquisite embellishments, we have a .complete collection of Mr. Swain's poems, who has been fbr many years a popular poetical contributor to the Literary Gazette, and several of the most successful Annuals. The vo lume is dedicated to Dr. Southey, and byway of frontispiece.contains a beautiful fancy sketch, re presenting a castellated building rising above a deep grove, and situated on a lofty rock that drops perpendicularly down to an expansive sheet of water; bOunded in the distance by a range of blue hills. The sketch is a truly graceful one, and does credit to the finish and delicacy of touch of the: engraver, .Greatbach. The first and longest .poem in the collection is entitled," Mind"—a theme of comprehensive import, and the most ambitions that Mr. Swain has yet attempted. It 'is in the good old Spenserian measure, which is managed with. considerable dexterity, and reads off with ease and spirit, notwithstanding its con stantly recurring rhymes—a difficulty which few ono modern writers have been able successfully to master, with the exception perhaps of Byron and - Campbell. In Mr. Swain's hands, however, the measure is singularly tractabl e , * an d i s un doubtedly the best 'he could have - chosen for so wrave:and lofty a subject as that of " Mind." His poem, as may be surmised, is partly didactic and partly dAsfriptive ; but -as the majority of readers of the present day, are somewhat impa tient of instruCtion, and prefer rather to be enter tained, we have no doubt that the descriptive portions of the poem will be more relished than those which are purely didactic. And it must be confessed that Mr. Swain exhibits to signal ad vantage in description.. He draws evidently from his Own vivid immediate impressions, and, from not attempting id() much in the way Of ornament, never misses. mark: No modern poet has a keener, a.qUicker, or a more heart-felt percep tion of the myriad beauties of nature than he has, aiid . the chastemelody of his varied versification is not less remarkable. We prefer, however, the shorter poems in the collection to the one on " Mind;" for they are more vigorous, and fre- Inentlystrike a much deeper chord of feeling. As a favourable specimen of Mr. Swain's manner, we quote the following stanzas There'S beauty in the still, blue hour of night, When streams sing softly through the moonlit vale ; When, one by one, shoot forth the stars to light, Dreamy and cold, and spirituallypale Ther4's beauty. on the ocean, when the gale Dashes :the merry billows to the strand ; When like a phantom flits some wand'ring sail; White as the moonbeam on theglittering sand, . And distant flute-notes riseltouched by some skilful hand, There's beauty on the quiet lake afar, When wild-birds sleep upon its voiceless breast ; The lonely mirror of a single star, Pale shining in the solitary west ; There's harmony and beauty in that rest— So placid—stirless—lonely—and so deep— We scarcely move, or dare . to whisper—lest 4 word should break the magic of that sleep, And start the spirit nymphs, who watch around it, keep ! There's beauty on the mountains—when the snow Of thousand ages on their forehead lies ; Purple and glittering in the sun-set glow, The gala light of the Italian skies : • When gorgeously the clear prismatic dyes • Illumine ice-built arches—crystal walls That, like the Mirrors of the Spheres, arise ; Dr proud magician's visionary halls, Arrayed for merry masques—for pomps and carnivals. There's beauty in the old monastic pile, • When purple twilight, like a nun, appears Bending o'er ruin'd arch—and.wasted aisle— Majestic glories of departed years,— Whilst dark above the victor-ivy rears Its sacrilegious banner o'er the shrine, Once holy with a dying martyr's tears ; Yet 'amidst dust—and darkness--,and decline, A:beauty-Mantles-still the edifice divine ! • ' But, ah ! bereft of Mind—which , is the light. . That. melts the shadows of futurity ! Nor early morn—nor noon—nor summer night.— Nor the wild billows of the lonely sea= No—nor the sweet and plainti ve melody Of distant flute-notes on the moonlight shore, May tough one heart with beauty the free, And god-like spring of thought could act no more ; Dark were the past to Man, and dark his path before!-- All beauty is the Mind's !—Tile dews of earth, Iferloretiest breathings—her serenest skies Re'er warm'd such noble feelings into birth, As from our own. imaginations rise ; The bright, illuminated memories Which are the rays of the soul's world !—the gay, ,'And fond creations of our youthful eye's : Beauties which set not with the setting day ; But hold a life within—a charm:against decay ! THE WORKS OF WILLIAM .lAl'. Vol. I. • C. A. Bartlett, Bath; Longman, London. • • This book, reprinted from the Baltimore edi tion, consists of holy homilies for the mornings and evenings of the year, and is intended for those who love to retire into the still sanctuaries of devotion, or the sacred cells of prayer. 'After a ministry of more than half a century, the vene-; rabic author has embodied in these spiritual ex , ercises the result of his long doctrinal andpatri archal.experiences. Full of whole So me thought and "necessary food," his volume opens a rich and large pasturage, with daily and abundant all spent to satisfy the religious soul. His style is esnliued with the placid and comfortable serenity that distinguishes Burder's and Baxter's writings, which is so well adapted to attone the heart to pious composure and prayer. The present vo lume appears at the right moment. Containing the morning and evening exercises to be used from. January to March, it opens and enters upon the New Year, The various " Exercises" not only distil pleasant waters in thenselveS, but often . carry in their current particleS of gold, which, in the shape of aphoristic expressions,' gratify the reader. A f ew o f t h ese scattered grains we gather:— BELSHAZZAR, KING OF THE CnALDEEs.—Merodach Baladin was his father. Ills mother was Nitocris, a wo man of masculine understanding., He appears in the sacred story like a man by the way side, hung in irons : the memory of the unjust, shall rot, or, if • preserved. be perpetuated ,in disgrace... Amyot, Bishop of Auxyene, and Great Almoner of France, not long bef ore hi s d eat h, was, urged to writ e• th e history of his country : " I love thy sovereigns too well," said he, " to write their lives." . 11 lif:so ,IN SICKNESS.—After rearing•his fine palace of cedar, he could not for a length of time take possession of it for he was sick unto death, and the graves were ready for him. What was an ornamented room in the rage of a fever? THE MYSTERIES OF RELIGION.—Ask me not for their solution.. I only know the" fact, I see the two ends of the chain, but the middle is under water ; yet the con-. neetion As real as it is invisible. By and by it will be .drawn up. • THE thicAnEO-IsOn.-There are some who draw forth rio blesSing while 'they live, or tears when 'they die. A dry funeral is a hateful sight. HUMAN DECAY.--7WQ talk of a dying hour, but we die daily. Whett the bottle is discharged of its contents, there is a last drop, but, every preceding drop emptied it . as well as the last. Before the tabernacle is completely taken down, some pin is taken out, some cord is leoened, some rents or wearings away in the canvass are visible. KIND TREATMENT.—Nothing trie s lik e tenderness. Be nefits attract and attach the heart ; - and good men are the most susceptible of grateful impressions. FALSE FRIENDS.—Many are very friendly when you want not their aid, or can impart favours. You are in their garden : they walk in it in summer, but abandon it in winter—then it has no flowers or fruits. AN AFTER-STATE.—My finite capacity will hereafter admit of blessedness infinite, so that I shall be perpetu ally growing in beatitudes, and be always singing a new song. '1 KINDNESS.—Wh6n love actuates, the 'sufferer is not insulted while he'is relieved. Alms are not flung in his face, instead of being given. The wound of distress is not torn open, but gently touched with an angel hand.

The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by thi s supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders; the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this dep artment of med i cal practice. Th e num b er l ess instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting oa all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptbr, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in copse quence•of seine disease, which, for w a nt of careful' investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to - the score of con'- gumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the . cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tahes, &e., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. • The PRECtPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the " relation and respo ns ibili ty of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be di rected and very much assisted in investigating and d e t ect i ng the too often con cealed practices so often i n troduced into schools, w h ereby the health and. ultimately the lives of his pupil s are sure to be co promised, when promised, unless th e ev il b e arr e s t e d i n proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him throu g h th e i ntricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, an d a s t an d ar d whereby to ,jud ge delicacy of health s h o uld a pp e a r t o .attac k any of hi s young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. . The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed' as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which •are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

The varying tints of the luxuriant copse—which bears a strong resemblance to an Indian jungle—here catching the full blaze of sun-light, and there wrapped up in deep gloom, are disposed with great art, and exhibit a spirit and vividness that never could have been im parted to them by the old, and somewhat tame process of iithographic engraving.

DuntAN, DF.c. 22.—There is, unfortunately, very little of manufacturing industry in this country ; but limited as are our sources of employment in that way, the pre sent depression -is felt very severely. Within the last week a cotton printing factory, in the suburbs of this city, has altogether stopped working, and 150 persons who had constant and remunerative employment, have been discharged, at a season of unparalleled distress aniongst the poor. At a recent meeting of the manufacturers of the pro vince of Ulster, held in R:lfast, very deplorable accounts .were gives of the depressed condition of the linen trade, which forms the great staple of industry in the northern counties. The Londonderry Journal, after a diligent inquiry in the counties of Derry and Tyrone, states that the distress is really much more extensive than had been represented at that meeting. Everywhere (says that journal) the people are convinced that their distress proceeds " from that re strictive policy of foreign States which has been recom mended to, and in a manner forced upon them, by our own vicious example ; and further, that it is only by our ceasing to exhibit the example that we can expect any abatement of their imitative system." The Londonderry Journal adds that the general failure .of the potato crop, to the extent of one-third, will greatly aggravate the distress produced by want of employment. Coax-LAWS.—A meeting, on a very large scale, will be held in the Rotunda to-morrow evening, to consider the ruinous effects of the Corn-laws. The Lord Mayor, it is said, will preside.

WOOLWICH, DEC. 23.—Extensive improve ments are at present in progress connected with the works at Gibraltar. General Sir John T. Jones, of the Royal Engineers, was especially despatched some months ago to make an examination of the fortifications, and ac cording to his opinion there appears to be a necessity to remodel the whole; with very little exception. A strong gang of convicts is forthwith to be sent to that place, to • execute the heavier portions of the work, and a large re inforcement of mechanics is to be sent there as soon as possible, but whether they will be civil or military is at present undecided.. -Lieutenant R. C. Moody, of the Royal Engineers, whose departure from Woolwich to as sume the Lieutenant-Governorship of the Falkland Islands was noticed in October last, when off the Bill of Portland addressed a letter to his sister, Miss Moody, Guernsey,aid having enclosed it in,a bolge a similar manner, - he threw it overboard. The bottle' was picked up last week by one of the coast-guard, off Blachinton, an d f orwar d ed to Miss Moody, and its safe arrival was acknowledged by her father, Lieutenant- Colonel Moody. From the date it appeared the bottle had been thirty-four days at sea. • MURDER AT STOKE-UPON -TRENT. -- On Monday evening and Tuesday last the town of Stoke was thrown into a state of great excitement, by a.report that a man named Thomas Morris, a brewer, had laid violent hands upon his wife, and thereby caused her death, whilst he was in a state of intoxication. The report proved but too true. On Tuesday afternoon an inquest was held on the body of the deceased, Elizabeth Morris, at the Old Swan Inn, Stoke. The first witness called was a niece of the prisoner's and deceaseffi, named Fanny Ililditch, a little girl ten years of age, who stated that Morris and deceased lived at their house. Witness remembered Morris coming home on Monday night, about nine o'clock.' Her aunt (the deceased) was nursing a baby about ten months old, and sat by the fire, making a cap and putting flowers in it, There was , no other person in the house except Morris, the de ceased, witness, and the baby. Morris said he would not have the cap which the deceased was making in his house. He endeavoured to get the cap from her, and she resisted. He said he would throw it on the fire, and she replied that he " durst not," and he replied that he " durst ;" and some further altercation took place. lie then struck his wife a violent blow on her brow, upon which she fell with her head upon his knee. He pushed her off to the floor, which was of brick. After she was down he kicked her twice on the side, and some time - after tried to lift her head from the floor, but it fell down again ; and he then said that. he " could not help it." De ceased could not get up. Witness went to call a neigh. hour, named Mary Sweetnam, and told her that deceased was dying, upon which she went to Morris's directly. Morris was quite drunk. Mary Sweeeeeastnedamlsaayidaesrheesswtehnet to Morris's house with her ; the deceased home floor on her back, and Morris was kneeling down by the side of her. He exclaimed when witness entered the house, " Aye dear, aye clear, Mrs. Sweetnam." lie had his left arm under her head. Witness asked what was the matter, and he replied " he thought she was dead, as he perceived n o b r e ath. " Witness then laid hold of deceased's hand and rubbed it, but she was quite dead. Morris said something must be done. Witness then went and called Sally Irarrison and Betsy Mitchell, telling them that Betsy Morris was either dead or dying. They came in soon, and then witness went to her own house, and sent a man who lodged with her to call Mr. Davis. When she went back to Morris's deceased was quite dead, was then adj ourned until Wednesday, theirfurther v e. and they lif ted her on the sofa. Th e i nquest evidence had been adduc e d, th e Jury r dict—" Th at the deceased came to her death by violence n;ted after used towards her by her husband Thomas Aforris," who was committed to take his trial for the offence at the next Assizes.
