FEAVER'S EMBROCATION for GOUT RHEUMATISM, TIC DULOREUX, & e , Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon; of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last, to the Editor of the " Times :" " Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make known the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and Which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some Month s ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and adematous, and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which tended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no Ourpo s e, I set out for London with the intention of con at Siting Sir Benjamin Brodie or :qr. Liston—then to adopt sea ha\ ping. By accident I met with Mr. Fearer, 16 Ludgate-hill, 'film applies his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, 1 had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next marnivg I caLle down stairs without, my crutches, and was abl e to walk, the swelling of the limb saon subsided, and I am now rapidly recovoring. Having for many years had an ex tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of no medicinal comp° Ind possessing such wonderful efficacy. In adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice against everything in the shape of quackery, 1 should be the last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug. " I am, your obedient servant, " TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon. " Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire. " P.S. At the various consultations held upin my case, the •geonsand physicians (including myself) were decidedly of opk u ion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter !nip& to in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not Aid .e slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application of th i s extraordinary embrocation.—'f.

[We copied from the Herald an account of the proceedings which took place at the opening of the Conference, and regret that some impertinent re marks which were made in• that paper escaped - our notice till after publication. We did not suspect that a reporter for a respectable journal like the Herald, whose ditty it is • to report both sides fairly, would have deviated from the usual practice, and therefore paid less attention t o the i n t ro d u ctory and offe n siv e . comments.] BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY NlGllT.—Cooper, the Leicester Chartist, opened the adjourned debate this .afternoon at three o'clock, by stating that he should sup- Tort the - amendment of his young Scottish friend Robert Summers, one of the four motions before the Canfsr ence, and which was to place the People's Charter and the Bill of the Council on the table of the Conference, and consider the proviSions of each simultaneously. He' did this, because of the 'amendment proposed that, in-. has opinion, was preferable; and if beaten upon it, they could fall back upon the amendment proposed,by their friend Mr. Lovett. The Rev. Dr. WADE said be should regret the con sequences of victory on. either side, because he was afraid, that be whichever way it might, the resalt would be di'visions. New, if all middle-•class men were like their friend Me.eJoseph Sturge—if he was their true representative—he should have no objection to take the Bill prOpdsea . ba'the Complete Suffrage Coen eil - Bet Mr. Sturge middle classes, and, therefore, he was for the entire Charter.—(Loud cheers.) if any concession was to be made, seeing that the middle classes were the aggressors, they ought to make that concession. The argument of the Sturgeites was, that the deSignation of Chartists would ruin their cause ; in answer to which, he would only reply, that the Sturgeites, if designated by any particular term to-day, would toe morrow contrive another loop-hole out of which to escape, and adopt another designation. Mr: J. DIXON, of Northwi c h, su p por t e d S ummers ' amendment, and said, he was sick and tired of the proceedings, and was afraid he slittid have'a very bad account to give to his constituents. At this period there was a very general call for a division, and it was with extreme difficulty that the Chairman could obtain a .hearing for any of the dozen speakers who presented themselves to the Conference. Mr. Q'Conno:s interf t eren4 alone restored or d er . Mr.VickerS; of Belper ;e-Areilibald APDonaell, of Aberdeen ; Jabez Vines; of. Reading, and others, then addressed the meeting. The - latter named speaker said—if the Chartists .wished the Charter to pass into law, they would unite in the complete suf frage movement. The question was, how could they best influence the electoral body of the. kingdom.? and he was of opinion that supporting the Bill of Rights, as it was termed by the Council of the Complete Suffage Union, would most effectually accomplish that objeCt. Mr. PARRY said, the question was,' " which is the 'best way of operating upon the minds of the middle classes of society?" They had been told that the members of the. Complete Suffrage Union had adopted the principles of the Charter—then Why not agitate in its support ? The fact was, that the support of a man Who agreed with the points of - the Charter, and would not agitate in their favour, 'merely because of the name of Charter, was not worth having.—(Loud cheers.) He concluded a long and energetic speech by regretting that the members of the Suffrage Council had not come out from amongst their own ales and given their support t o th at measure—t h e People's Charter- e -which was th e on ly one wh i ch would ever give satisfaction to the coma try.—(Cheers.) Mr. -L. HEYWORTII, of Liverpool, as a supporter of the National Complete Suffrage Union, said, the fact was the present contest was for " who shall be vonr leaders.'.. The party and leaders with which he (Mr. Hey worth) 19,1 e associated himself, would not. lead them on to slater and bloodshed.—(Groans.) Mr. Ronson.L-Let the gentleman go (m . H e is a fair representative of his own particular class. Mr. I . l Eywottur.—Yes; and you and others may congratulate yourselves that there are such repreen tatives. Mr. Br. ASELEY (of Blackburn), in very strong lan guage, denounced the Sturgeites. Mr. JONES (of Liverpool) declared that Mr. Hey worth's professions of philanthropy and benevolence were nothing but rank hypocrisy, which declaration only served to increase the uproar of the meeting. Mr. Jones proceeded to say that he had little confi dence in the political honesty of any class of men. He believed that the working men would not have turned Chartists, had it not been for the. heavy bur dens Which presied on them ; nor did any of the mid dle classes talk of " comp l e t e su ff rage ," until they began to fear the results of failing trade and impeded commerce. He gave his support to Mr. Lovett's amendment. Mr. LOVETT said, he had been so anxious for union, that he proposed to the leading membtrs of the Council of the Complete Suffrage Union, that their Bill and the " People's Charter" should be laid on the table together, and that clauses from each should be alternately read, and decided on by the meeting, so that a perfect Bill might be prepared for presentation to Parliament.—(Hear.) He thought this course would tend to conciliation, but the leaders of the Coun cil rejected his proposition.—(Hear.) Mr. BEGGS, of Nottingham, the mover of the ori ginal resolution, was called on to reply. He said . that he and Mr. O'Connor had fought side by side at Not tingham, and he was sorry they should differ now. He thought he could not withdraw the original reso lutions without being a party to a vote of want of confidence in the Council. The Conference thcn proceeded to a division on the several motions, Mr. STURGE observing, that he should record his vote in favour of the original resolutions of Mr. Beggs. The motion of RObert Summers and the Rev. P. Brewster were negatived by show of hands. Mr. Lovett's motion (in favour of the Charter) and Mr. Beggs' motion (in favour of the Bill of the Council of the Complete Suffrage Conference) were then put to the meeting, and the names of the members of the Conference being called over, it was found that 193 were in favour of Mr. Lovett's motion, and 94 in fa vour of Mr. Beggs' motion ; 73 of the delegates were absent, and 14 remained neutral. Mr. Lovett's mo tion was accordingly declared to be carried by a ma e jority of 99—the.Sturgeites being completely beaten. Mr. J. STURGE, as Chairman of the Conference, had now the unenviable task to go through of an nouncing the result of the division. Having diss charged this funct'on, he took occasion to characterise the People's Charter as an excellent document, and said he had no hesitation in stating, that those who ,had drawn it up were deserving of the highest praise, being persuaded that whatever. errors there might be in the details of the measure, the authors of its prin ciples had had the honest intention of securing equal justice to all parties. Yet, after the vote of that night, he thought he could best serve the views of the majority by not continuing any longer in the chair. He trusted that they would con s id er th emse l ves not enemies to each other, but as working on the same road; but lie and his friends felt they should best serve the•cause by now leaving that room and consi dering their own "Bill" in anoth er p l ace. , Mr. F. O'CoNNoR--,-Am I to understand that we are not all to meet together, in future, in conference ? Mr. STURGE said he spoke for himself, and he be- lieved he expressed the feelings of those who voted for the Bill of the Council ; but of course he dictated to no person. With respect to that Bill, he had no doubt that when seen, after it had undergone conside ration, it would remove every suspicion that they wished to do anything to damage "the People's Charter." The Rev. Mr. SPENCER said the question now was, how they could best serve the workin g Classes, and he thought, with Mr. Sturge, that they could best effect that object now by the independent movement of the Complete Suffrage Association. He wished them success in their endeavours to alleviate their condition ; but :IS it was impossible for the Bill prepared by the Council of the Complete Suffrage Union to be dis cussed clause by clause in that assembly, divided, as it now was, be called upon the minority of 93 to with ' draw ' and to meetin the rooms of the Complete Suff rage Union, while the majority might continue to meet in the present hall to consider th e Ch ar t er . He denied that the last Conference had pledged itself to • take the Charter into consideration. lie knew that there was a suspicion, that the movement of the Com plete Suffrage Union had a free-trade object in view, but this was equally unfounded. He conferred with those who desired reforms, both in trade and in the Church, but he thought no reform could be effected until they reformed the representation.—(Cheers.) Mr. LovETT said, that if. the Complete Suffrage Union was charged with using their influence for free trade purposes, he felt bound to say, that he was the first to induce the Council to introduce that subject into their address. He therefore took all the blame of that step on himself. He concluded by moving a vote • of thanks to Mr. Sturge, for his conduct in the Chair. WILSON' S SCOTTISH ENTERTAIN MENTS.

AWFUL LOSS of LIFE in GALWAY. (Abridged from the Galway Vindicator.) The Galway. Vindicator furnishes the following particulars in addition to those which we have . given relative to ,this dreadful accident : On Christmas morning,. as has always been cus tomary, in order to gratify the religious inclinations of the inhabitants of the town and suburbs of Galway, the tremendous mysteries of the altar were to have been celebrated at six o'clock, in the parish chapel of St. Nicholas. At that hour, the galleries and aisle of this capacious temple were thronged almost to suffo cation by the thousands who attended—and, althoUgh DO danger whatever should have been apprehended, even were the numb( rs greater, a cry was raised, either through panic or malicious intent, that the gal leries were falling. The instant it was heard, the entire mass of the human beings present, . rushed from their places in the wildest disorder —some raised up the windows and precipitated themselves into the streets, when their - brains were dashed to pieces..— •others pressed up to the railings before the altar— leaped into the Sanctuary, and almost killed one another in efforts to escape through the Sacristy, hut the greater number rushed down the stairs leading to the galleries, and through the doors which communicated with them from the aisle—and at the junction of these three pas sages most of the deaths took place. Nothing could exceed the terror, the crush on the occa sion. From the highest lobby on either side, doWn to the principal entrance, the entire were wedged together—men of the most athletic frames strangled and suffocated—women dead in the arms of their hus bands and relatives—boys, whose bones were broken in every part, and men, women, and children trampled on, until their bodies could he identified in no other way • than by the clothes they wore. Previous to the alarm being communicated to the police, watch, or military, several of our fellow-citizens exerted themselves to rescue those in the most danger at the peril of their own lives—every assistance .was afforded, but except in some few cases their efforts could extend no. farther than to make a passage for the living by the removal of ,the dead. NinnberS besides have been greatly injured, who, it is probable, ere our list meet the public eye, will have to be added to the melancholy , catalogue ; and we do not know, such was the pre cipitancy with which the dead were carried off, but that the loss is at present far more extensive than can at present be assigned. The physicians of the town, especially Drs. Moran, Veitch, O'Grady, Colo ban, Grey, Messrs. Cummins and M'Swinney, Sze. and the officers of the . 30th depot, con tributed much to lessen the dreadful calamity. As to the origin of this terrific occurrence, we can, at present, give no decided information. Various ru mours are afloat which require the most cautious in vestigation, and which, if proved to have any founda tion, in truth, must greatly tend to damage the good understanding that has hitherto subsisted in Galway between all classes of religionists. The inquest, how ever, will bring to light a great deal that now lies obscure ; and until then, we shall postpone any other remarks we may have to make, beyond assuring our readers that nothing was broken on the galleries in the chapel, except what was carried off, of the hand in the efforts of persons to preserve themselves from being swept away in the general rush; and were it not that mass was celebrated at the rooms of the Parent Temperance Society, by the Very Rev. A. Killeen, President, and at many of the chapels about the same hour, it is probable that a greater number would have met with an untimely grave. We furnish a list of the dead, and those most se riously injured on the occasion as given by the police: L IST or PERSONS KIELED—john Walsh, John Phillips, Thomas .

THE INQUEST. Mr. STURGE expressed his acknowledgments for this favour, repeating that he thought he should best :e..ve their cause by withdrawing, in company withhis friends, from the Conference. The Rev. Mr. SPENCER added, the thanks of such a meeting would be a great encouragement to the Com plete Suffrage Union. The meeting then broke up, at eight o'clock in the evening. The Chartist party then determined to meet again to-morrow to proceed with the business of the Con ference, while the St urge par t y l e f t t h e h a ll to arrange their plans in another room. THURSDAY EVENING. This morning the Sturgeite section of the National Suffrage Confere nce as s em bl e d at Wilkins's Tempe.- range 'Coffeehou se , in Moore-street. Mr. Sturge oc cupied the Chair, and amongst his principal supporters were the Rev. Thomas Spencer, the Rev. 1? ) . Brew ster, Dr. Ritchie ; and the principal speakers of the '" moderate" Chartist (or Suffrage) party, who distin guished' themselves at the combined meeting at the Mechanics' Institution. The proceedings throughout were - certainly more subdued and orderly than the assemblages •of the " Conference" on the two pre vious days. Mr. GARDINER (of Manchester), in a short speech moved, and Mr. MIAL (of London), seconded a solution, to the effect that the majority, who on the previous night had refused to adopt the. Bill_ (brought forward by - the Council. of the Complete Suffraze Union),as the_basi s..o f _di scuss i on, s h ou ld b e excluded from the Conference. By this resolution it was intended that the Sturgeite minority, notwithstandin, their defeat and retirement last night, should still be considered the only real Suffrage Conference. Dr. litictuE regretted the terms in which the sepa ration was expressed in the resolution. Ile did not deny that the separation between the Complete Suf frage party and the Chartists was inevitable ; but still be hoped that they would not place themselves in a wrong position.. He did not see how the minority could exactly be. termed the Conference, and he did not like the idea of excluding the majority from their. deliberations. The Rev. T. SWAN concurred with Dr. Ritchie, and expressed- his deep regret on account of the sepa ration which had taken place. A.d;seussion of some length occurred, in the course of - which Mr. Myal and others contended that the present meeting was " the Conference," and that the Chartists assembled at the Mechanics' Institution had, by refusing - to make the Bill proposed by the Council the basis of discussion, excluded themselves from the . Complete Suffrage Union. Several of the Delegates, on the other hand, maintained, that a minority of the Delegates returned could not be considered as con stituting t! e Conference, and that they could only be looked upon as seceders. They thought it would . be bad in principle, and a bad precedent, if they laid it down that a minority (the majority being 2 to 1) constituted " the Conference." A DELE G ITE 'Observed, that " the Conference" had now been assembled for two days, and had really done. no business whatever,---(Loud cries of " Hear.") They were, however, he admitted, no longer a Con ference—only now a meeting in favour of Complete Suffrage ; and in the words of Mr. Sturge last night could only now, under the unfortunate circumstances in which they were placed, make the best of the pre 7 j sent movement. Mr. VINES, of Reading, contended, that they (the present meeting) were the " real Conference." The majority had refused to entertain the Bill for the dis cussion of which the Conference was convened. By so doing, he maintained they had excluded them selves from " the Conference."=-(Hear, hear.) The Chairman and the Members of the Council here retired, in consequence, it was stated, of some c•ommun'cation from the Chartist " Conference" at the Mechanics' Institution, Newhall. street. The de bate was pursued in their absence. On the return of tilt Chairman and Council Mr. STUR6F, expressed' a hope that the meeting would extend their patience fora few minutes, as he thought, from what had occurred in another room, that such an alteration could be made in the original resolution under diseugSion as would in all probability meet the views of all parties. He might, perhaps, be allowed to say, that so anxious were the parties by whom 1 ‘ the Bill" was drawn up not to offend the Chartists, that the person by whom the draught was SO ably drawn carefully read over every clause of the . Charter pani passe with the Bill, and wherever an improvvinent could be made from that document he adopted it. and Mr. Lovett was appointed Secretary. It was then discovered that the late Secretary ; had carried away all the documents of the Conference, with the exception , of the minutes of proceedings. A deputa tion was instantly sent to him, and the answer re turned was considered satisfactory. The Chartist Conference then determined to resolve into " a Committee of the whole house," to consider the Charter with a view to its amendment; so as to render it a perfect. Bill for presentation to Parliament. Mr. P. O'Connor announced that every amendment adopted would be submitted to- "the, people," and would receive final sanction or rejection at another Conference to be convened for that purpose. It being resolved to read " the People's Charter," clause by clause, a great many alterations were pro posed4n the very beginning of it, namely—the pre , amble, which was, however, ultimately allowed to • remain without receiving any material amendment. One of the most startling propositions that could be made in a meeting composed of the triumphant party, which had beaten Sturge's band out of the field, was that the preamble of the Bill of the Sturgeites should be substituted in the " People's Charter" in place of the present preamble of that document. Nevertheless such a proposition was made, but it was, 'of course, coldly received, although the proposer did not hesitate to laud the superior lucidity and • simplicity of the preamble of the Sturgeite Bill. After some further conversation, 'the Conference adjourned at two o'clock till the evening. `f WILFUL 112U1 9'.R., SALISBURY, DEC. 28.—The adjourned inquiry:as to the death of Samuel Bruton, was resume] this 41y at eleven o'clock. The first witness called was Louisa Adams, who was not heard last night inconsequence of‘some.sUs picion that she was then labouring under the influence of liquor. Louisa Adams examined- lodge at Mit. Mus- prate's, who resides in the. same yard as teat in 'which the prisoner Greek lived. Abou'i half-past eleven o'clock. on -Mtinday evening I was standing at the en trance of our passage, when the deceased went to ivards.prisoner s house. He wished me a good night, and'said he hoped that I had had a happy Christmas. Shortly after he returned, and told me that' be wars going o'er to the Globe public-house to get half a pint of beer.' . Coub24m—This does not . exaetii correspond with what you said last nighL Is this correct Witness-Yes, it is, Sir. neteased • NVas quite . sober. 'lle did not remain in doors'above a quarter of an hour. before he returned.. 1' saw him come out of the Globe and go in 'd< ors. About an hour and a half afterwards' the prisoner Greek came to Mrs. Muspratt's, arid she gave him a light. After this he came a second time for a light. During this time I was standing on the threshold of Mrs. Muspratt's door. I also heard deceased cry "Murder." lam sure it was his voice, as prisoner was drunk, and the d:ceased.was sober. H e cr i e d out " . Murder - " more than once, and I heard prisoner say to the :deemped,." Come down stairs, you b—; you shall n o t rema i n up there;" to which' the deceased replied, " For God's sake, Dick, don't inurder me quite." I then heard a man fall down stain; ; during the whole of this time I was standing on the - threshold of Mrs. Muspratt's door. The reason I stood there was, I had no shoes nor stockings on, and there were no other persons up in th e y ar d th at I cou l d call. I heard prisoner call out to a neighbour who lives next door. He said to him, " Short! Short! come and help me pull the b--- down stairs." This occurred be fore I heard deceased say, " For God's sake, Dick, don't kill me quite." The COIIONER—I reallv cannot understand you; if you do no;, tell the history of this aWair more correctly I must use other means. Witness--I did not hear Short make any reply to this. After he'had said "Don't murder me quite," I heard deceased call out " Murder" several times. Prisoner then Said something, but I cannot tell what it was he said. After some delay, The Rev. T. SPENCER moved " That the Bill' brought forward by the Suffrage Council, and laid upon the table, be now discussed." This motion ; upon being seconded by Mr. Anstey, was carried unanimously. Mr. VINCENT moved, that "The document, called The People's Charter' be laid upon the table, and considered in connection with the Bill prepared by the Council of the Complete Suffrage Union.' Mr. J. COLLINS seconded the motion. Dr. RITCIIIE said, it was perfectly competent for any man to propose amendments to the provisions contained in the Bill, and they might take them from any source they pleased; but he objected to recog nising the Charter.—(Hear, hear.) It was here stated that the Members of " the Coun cil" who had previously retired, were now prepared to submit a resolution and an amendment to the meeting, with the view of settling the future conduct of the Complete Suffrage party with regard to the majority of the delegates then assembled in the Me chanics' Institution. It had, however, been arranged that there was to be no " speechific a ti on " and it was hoped that the " f r i en d s " assembled would ' come to a vote without offering any observation. Mr. GARDINER then moved, and Mr. MEAL se conded, the following resolution :—" That a portion of the Delegates sent to this Conference having re fused to make the Bill prepared by the Council the basis of discussion, the Conference having been ex pressly convened for the purpose of preparing such a Bill, feel themselves bound to declare that such Dele gates are no longer a part of the Conference, except those of them who shall hereafter comply with the course of business prescribed by the Council according to the terms of the Convention." John Blakeney, Esq., Coroner; John Ireland, Esq., J.P., and Sylvanus Jones, Esq, R.M., at tended at the • Town Court-house, at the hour of twelve o'clock on St. Stephen's Day, to investigate the causes which led to the terrible disaster we have already referred to. A respectable Jury was then sworn, consisting of sixteen persons, whom the Coroner addressed, stating that it should be their chief endeavour to make out who first raised the cry "that the galleries were fall ing." If it turns out, continued he (and I believe and hope, for the sake of human nature, it will not prove so), that any individual wantonly or wickedly led to the untimely death of so many of his fellow creatures, the laws of our country will, in that event, visit 'him with the utmost rigour. After you view the several bodies of the deceased, and return here, I shall adjourn this Court until Friday. The Jury then proceeded to view the bodies, and on their return the Coroner adjourned the Court until eleven o'clock on Friday. The COTIONER, addressing the Jury—l do not know gentlemen, whether you can understand this witness ; I do not. ITXIIEALTIIINESS or TIIE SEASON.---The returns Made to the - Salisbury Registrar, for the current quarter, of deaths which have taken place in the three parishes of the city, exceed the usual average by about 60 per cent. ! FIRES AT LIVERPOOL.—The fire at Liverpool which occurred on Thursday week, is the third great fire which has happened in that town during, the year. The loss by this last accident in Parliament-street and Greenland-street is stated to be not much less than 60,000/. At a meeting of the agents of the se veral fire-offices, held on the 23d instant, the follow ing account of claims was considered accurate, leaving still a large sum not covered by the policies : Liverpool .Office . £lO,OOO Norwich Union £2,400 West of England . 10,000 Alliance . Sun 5,800 London Union l,OOO Manchester 3,600 London Corporation 500 Imperial Phoenix Globe • 2,500 Equitable Atlas York and London 3,000 Total... £49,280 The result of this year is considered as more un favourable to the Assurance Companies in England than they have ever experienced ; and it is stated from the best authority, that collectively they have not paid less during the year for losses by fire, than the large sum of 1,000,000/. This sum of course includes the great fire at Hamburgh, which caused losses to the English offices amounting to nearly half that amount. The Rev. Mr. ROBINSON moved, and Mr. MITCHELL seconded, the following amendment :—" That having been called together to determine on the essential de tails of al Act of Parliament necessary for securing the just representation of the whole adult male popu lation of the United Kingdom of G rea t B r it ain and Ireland ; such act to embrace principles and details of Complete Suffrage, Equal Electoral Districts, Vote by Ballot, no Property Qualification, Payment of Mem bers, and Annual Parliaments, as adopted by the first Complete Suffrage Conference, held at Birmingham, April sth, 6th, 7th, and Bth, 1842, and such Act of Parliament having been prepared by the Council which called the Convention ; and the majority of the persons present having refused to receive it as the basis of discussion—viz., to proceed with the busi ness for which we were summoned; we who voted in favour of taking the Bill provided as the basis of dis-. cussion do not proceed to the business we have been as sembled to transact; that a ll d e l egates willing to comply with the course of business prescribed by the terms of the Convention be considered as Members of that bodv." Mr. MORGAN, the secretary, said the only question WAS whether they (the present meeting) would by the original resolution declare themselves to be " the Conference," or whether, as proposed in the amend ment, they would say nothing at all about it. The amendment was carried by a considerable ma jority. The Rev. T. SPENCER next moved the resolutions contained in the programme of the proceedings, and which, upon Mr. Lovett's amendment in the General Suffrage and Chartist Conference, were rejected. These were - carried unanimously. Mr. VINCENT then renewed his motion with regard to the Charter being "laid on the table" for the pur pose of its being discussed in connexion with " the Bill." To obviate Dr. Ritchie's objection, he would add to the words " the Charter," "and all documents which may be required." This resolution was then carried. Witness—lt was after he got hiidairwn stairs that he cried "Murder?' The CORONER (to Witness)—You have told the two clergymen of the parish a different account from this; mind, you must not make any reservation. Did you not tell them that you went down to prisoner's house? Witness—l said I was follo‘vin g Greek (the prisoner) down till he said I.should not go .with him. Ily a Juror—l was .quite sober Myself that eve n i ng . The hope you were not sober last night when your statement was being taken down, as it so widely differs from this. Eliza Short, the wife of John, Short, tailor, exa mined.—My husband and I live next door to the pri soner. I saw deceased between 6 and 7 o'clock on Monday evening; he came to Mrs. Muspratt's for the key while I was there. lle appeared to be quite sober. I did not see the prisoner at all that night. Some time in the night I was awoke by a noise, and I heard some one call out, " Short, give me a light." At this time my husband was not awake, and I made no answer. I then heard him (Greek, the prisoner) say, " Come and help me drag the 1) down stairs." I cannot say whether it was the same voice which I heard before, but I believe it to be. I then heard a rumpus on the stairs, as though he was dragging him down. Deceased occupied a small bedroom just at top o? the stairs. I have frequently heard the pri soner say when he came home drunk that he would go and pull the deceased . down stairs. John Short examined—The last witness is my wife. I went into prisoner's house a little before seven o'clock on Tuesday morning. I saw the deceased lying at the bottom of the stairs. Prisoner was then standing up in the middle of the kitchen,• and I said to him, " Dick, I hope you have not done this your self'," and he replied—" Mr. Short, I have not touched him." I then said to him—" I am afraid yOu have, Dick," and he then answered—" My child, I have not." He appeared to be very much uncon cerned about it. Before this conversation, I observed some human filth on the deceased's thigh and hands, and as the stench was so bad, I was obliged to leave the room for a little while to get air, and a short time after I returned, and then the prisoner was wiping the filth from deceased's clothes. I observed the necker neek it. ; tlh'eco neckerchief e n rc o h t i(!)fut was ni o fi t n o g n e i necker chief which deceased wor e ; it was, I b elieve, an old black silk one, and it was st ra i ne d t i ghtly as if a cord betweenha dbeen it a t n through is caught gbially hold tied o tightly; (the htl3; showing the manner), witness my impre s Si on i s t h at h e was and by this me ans d ragged down stairs. Anybody could see it was d one thus. The filth' most certainly was made on hi m . after he Was down stairs. (Here great sensation of disgust and horror ran through the audience.) I made no observation to prisoner about the filth. "An Act to Amend the Representation of Scot land," and also Major Cartwright's plan of Parlia mentary Reform were, upon motions by members, also ordered to lie on the table. After which the house adjourned until four o'clock. " The People's Bill" goes into committee at five o'clock this evening. The Bill is duly printed, contains 99 clauses, and occupies 64 pages. Its provisions go almost the whole length of the Charter, the name of which the authors are, however, very anxious to avoid. _ _ _ Lush, su rgeon, examined.—l vi s it e d th e de ceased and found that he had been dead some hours. Under the circumstances, and from the result of the post mortem examination, I could not trace any other cause of death but that of suffocation. Police-constable Frampton was next examined, and corroborated other witnesses as to the position of de ceased, &c., and said that his waistcoat was torn into pieces. Prisoner said to him that when he came home he called out to deceased to know if he was upstairs, that he might lock the door, when deceased made use of very bad language to him, and said if he came upstairs he would serve him out, and thinking Short did not come in to help him he should be mur dered, he called him to help him, but he did not do it himself. - Witreis added, it was thought by every one present that morning that the prisoner killed the man, and ‘vhi;:h might have made him say so. Dr. W. Finch was next examined, who assisted Mr. Lush in making the postmortem examination, but this gentleman was of opinion that the deceased died from natural causes. Mr. Lush was recalled and confirmed his former statements. The prisoner, who is an old man, and of a very for bidding countenance, was then brought up to hear the evidence read over, and the summing up. He looked ghastly pale, but seemed perfectly collected; he stood quietly, and made no observation till the witness Adams was re-examined, and then he said that her statement was not true. The Learned CORONER then most ably addressed the Jury, after which the Court was cleared, and at half-past four o'clock they returned a verdict of " Wil ful murder" against i Richard G ree k , and, conse quently, the Coroner issued his wzlrrant for his com mittal to take his trial at the next Lent A.isizes. . A JAW-BREAKER.—There was at the wharf at Van Buren, Arkansas, a few days ago a steamboat calle'l " Sog-wa-ta-l e ki- vo-rrun-sup-hum ted-ou chon," which, in the " original Choctaw," means " Conqueror of Steam-boats." w , honk' think the name was alone sufficient prot A on against snags and sawyers of the worst kind er ofers needn't go to fir.; expence of insuraw6.-- 21 P icayune. tir The Chartist Delegates met together this morning at the Mechanics' Institution, which the Sturgeites had given up _to them, and voted Mr. Patrick O'Hig gins into the chair.
