THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, April 3. [THE TIMES.] It gives us some satisfaction to see, that instead of the bubbles and impostures lately presented to the public in the guise of schemes for making money, the genius of speculations begins at length to aspire after objects which cannot be fairly disapproved ; and to call into its service the weight and authority of names which are uni versally respected. We have long wished that oar West India colonies should be looked at as affording somewhat more than a theme for con troversy and a source of irritation between patties who are each, we verily believe, dis posed to serve that general interest, with regard to which they have nevertheless em braced. such opposite and inconsistent theories. Is is long since we predicted, that if means could be discovered for ameliorating the condition of the West India Planters themselves,such a change 'would be necessarily followed by an accession of comfort, intelligence, morality, and eventual free dom to the Negroes. Distressed masters seldom fail to visit, in some shape or other, their own misfortunes on their slaves.- Starving and over working are the sure symptoms of an embarrassed property : flogging is resorted to as the natural expedient for stimulating the labours of the weak, and for stifling the murmurs of the wretched. Thus misery reciprocates between the oppressors and the oppressed ; and in such a state of calamity, it is at least a doubtful undertaking to attempt the cure, with out striving to mitigate the predisposing causes. A Joint Stock Company is in the act of forming itself for the invest ment of a capital of no less than four mil lions sterling, in what we may briefly describe as a plan for infusing new vigour and activity into the whole West India interest. Some persons of unquestioned reputation for affluence, honour, and sagacity, appear to have engaged in this great enterprise ; 24 Directors, of whom 12 are to be West India merchants, and 12 general merchants, will manage its affairs. No monopoly is look ed for—no interference with private lights or establishments. Money, when wanted, is to be lent on the security of West India estates or consignments, and an immoderate profit is not desired. There are to be 40,000 shares, each of 1001.; and the institution has already, it is said, received the sanction of Government. Mr. Manning-, the Bank Director, is at the head of the undertaking. One consideration connected with this plan affords us no small pleasure—we mean the inference to be clearly drawn in favour of the transient and remediable nature of the ex isting distress of the West Indies ; for if that distress were likely to be permanent—if it were in its constitution hopeless, can we imagine that a body of capitalists (the most enlightened, per haps, in the British empire) would think of de riving a definite pro fi t from the application of their funds to its removal ? Let us trust, there fore, that the execution of this measure may be worthy of its conception and design—that it may be effectual to the purpose which it professes to accomplish, of at once relieving the master and the slave. [BRITISH PRESS.] The state of things in Spain, far from improv ing, as the Etoile and its patrons would have us believe, is every day growing worse. The trea sury of the tyrant is so destitute, that even the handful of troops now on foot cannot be paid : for three days, it appears, they were without pay, and obliged to procure food on credit. On the representation of the Minister of War to Ferdi nand stating that he would not answer for the fidelity of these mercenaries if their pay was withheld, an order was sent to the Treasurer- General to make no future payment until these soldiers received their money. The most disas trous accounts are still given from all the pro vinces. The fanatics are yet running riot in the most savage excesses, and practising the most shocking cruelties on the unarmed constitutional ists who are at their mercy. At Rueda, a town in Old Castile, where the Empecinado and about eighty Constitutionalists are in prison, ceaseless cruelties and insults were heaped upon them by the Royalist Volunteers. At the Castle of Caravanca, in Murcia, four Consti tutionalists, immured within its walls, were mur dered by the Royalist sentinels in their beds, with perfect impunity. A letter from Bayonne, of the 14th instant, states that numbers of the ' Spanish prisoners, who were on their return from France, alarmed at the cruelties of the Royalists, and apprehensive of the fate awaiting them within the Pyrenees, had escaped from their conductors, and again returned into France. This letter also mentions that a great number of the Royalist volunteers in Logrono, Bilboa, and Vittoria, still refuse to obey the decree of Ferdinand, and lay down their arms. In fact, but for the presence of the French troops, every pro vince would be one wide scene of civil strife and murder. These are the" energetic measures" so highly praised by the Etoile, which were to re store credit and confidence in Spain, and assure Guebhard's loan. 'No amnesty has yet been issued, though peremptory demands have again been made for it on. the part of the French Cabi net. Bourmont, who has been created a Grandee of the First Class, left Madrid on the Bth for Toledo, to meet Ferdinand and his brothers. The monk Saez, the despot's former favourite Minister and Confessor, was at Toledo, and his pernicious .influence was greatly feared by the Spanish Ministers. [MORNING POST.] We should not be surprised to find the ob stacles to the conversi o n o f th e F ren ch Fi ve p er Cent.Rentes into a Three per Cent. Stock in crease to a formidable height before the project shall be dispose-d of by the Chambers. It is in every respect an astounding experiment. We do vot,however, consider the difficulty to lie in the mere exchange of one species of Rente for an other, although in the absence of French stock at a lower rate of interest than 5 per cent. it is of course no easy matter to estimate the real value of French securities at 3 or 4 per cent. while those only in existence, from the. menace of their re demption, oscillate about par. Here when our G overnment announced its intention of reducing 5 to 4 per cent. stock, the price of the old 4 per cent. and of 3f and 3 per cent. securities, left no room for doubt as to the rate of capital in the British market. But supposing every impediment of this sort removed, the very nature and object of the operation contemplated by the French Mi nister must depress the credit of that country.— As we lately explained, the purpose for which the measure has been introduced is to make a vast addition in the capital of the Public Debt of France; and while such an end was in view, the effect upon the money market of Europe will be nearly the same as if the French Govern ment had advertised for a New Loan. In the two instances in which our Government recently had recourse to similar expedients, the tendency of each project was to facilitate its own accomplish ment, by diminishing the expenditure, and con sequently raising the credit of the nation. In France there will, should the present scheme succeed, be no diminution of the expenditure-- no relief of the people—but a vast addition to the Public Debt—and of course the very terms of the measure will obstruct its realization. Be sides, M. de Villele cannot hope for much valid support in the opinion of France generally. The great body of the people must be averse to such a gratuitous augmentation of the national burdens —the holders of French Securities must be averse to a plan which in all ways tends to lessen the value of their Funded Property ; and all the Ultras who would not profit iudividully by the scheme, we may be equally assured, feel but little sympathy for the Emigrants who are exclusively to reap this Golden Harvest. In one regard, in deed, the whole kingdom seems interested for a Law which is equivalent to an Act of Settle ment; but will an object so remote and specu lative counterpoise the hostility provoked by so many instant and uncompromising motives as we have already alluded to ? M. de Villele him self, we take it, was aware of the difficulties he should have to encounter, when he only ventured to bring forward the project after he had formed a league with all the great capitalists of Europe to become its sponsors. [MORNING lIERALD.] • Tuesday's Paris Papers, containing the news of Monday also, no Journal having appeared on that day, reached us last night by express.— They contain various articles of Foreign In telligence. The King of Spain still continued at Aranjuez. The most zealous vigilance is observed at the Royal residence. Military posts are occupied as if in the presence of an enemy. —No one is allowed to .approach or pass through the town without a written permis sion signed by the Minister Heredia. Even his authority is not sufficient without the sanction of the favourite Antonia Ugarte, a person who has made rather an extraordinary figure in Spanish politics. There appears nothing very tempting in the actual situation of a Minis ter of King Ferdinand. Yet there is a contest for place at Madrid and Aranjuez, as early as if it conferred the utmost profit and power. The party of the Confessor Victor Saez is stated to be again struggling for the Ministry, and to be re pressed only by the French. The Moniteur men tions the probability of an arrangement between Portugal and Brazil, by the mediation of Eng land. It also states, on the authority of let ters from Augsisurgh, that these differences are to be taken into consideration by the Emperors of Austria and Russia and the King Prussia, who are to meet at Prague on the 2d of May. The Sovereign Triumvirate will, it is stated, take into their hands the arrange ment, not only of Brazilian affairs, but of those of Greece also, and a notification to that effect is to be made to the King of Portugal and the English Government! It is no doubt very civil to let the King of Portugal into the secret of his own affairs, and the notification to the British Government is an act of extraordinary courtesy and condescension to his Majesty's Ministers. In truth, we believe no reliance should be placed upon these statements, notwithstanding their insertion in the French Official Journal. The sera of Congresses is gone by—for the present at least,—and if a Con gress like that alluded to should take place, it would be any thing rather than a pacific symp tom. The affairs of Greece are just as unlikely to form the subject of a Congress as those of Brazil. Indeed, the Augsburg-Is Gazette, which affects to know something of the Cabinet parties of Constantinople, state—for the hundredth time it is true—that the Anti-Muscovite influence has once more gained the ascendant in the Divan — that the Russian Envoy can affect nothing—and that war will take place between the Turks and Russians. At the same time, it is asserted in letters from Belgrade, that the Turks are making great efforts ; that a Paella was on his march to Thermopylm with a reinforcement of 15,000 men ; and that the Pacha of Egypt was about to invade the Morea with an overwhelming force. — The latter statement is, we have no doubt, un true. Nothing is more improbable than that this Pacha, who has provoked the vengeance of the Porte, should, with his eyes open, quit the se curity of his Egyptian dominion, for a command which would only draw him away from his re sources, and expose him to certain death. [NEW TIMES.] The present time will form a marked epoch in the history of Political Economy. Capital and Labour, the two great counterbalancing weights in the machine of social industry, both begin to develope new powers, or at least to exhibit new and peculiar applications of the power which each inherently possesses. Capital and Labour —Rich and Poor—these are distinctions which, for each other's benefit, must ever exist—hut yet it is curious to observe the efforts which each makes to enfranchise itself from the do minion of the other. We would point to two circumstances in illustration of what we have here observed—the proposed formation of a West India Company, and the Meeting of the London Mechanics' Institution to hear their first Lecture on Chemistry. " The sight of eight or nine hundred artificers," says a cotern porary, " thus collecting after their daily toils are over to listen to the voice of science, is some thing new in this metropolis." It is indeed new, but it is a necessary step in the progressive de velopment of the social system. The labourer, who, was anciently (as he still is in our Co lonies) a mere slave, the animated implement of his employer, is now free, and conse quently intelligent, and therefore aims daily at higher advances in mental attainment. With the labour of the country mind is more and more mixed and identified, and therefore the la bour becomes in the aggregate a more valuable part of the national wealth. At this we most sincerely rejoice ; for it has ever been our constant aim to promote the true interest and to advance the real respectability of the lower classes of society. At the same time, it must not be supposed that any institution can render the labourer independ ent of the capitalist. Individuals may change places in society, but there must always be ar tificers and mechanics, and these must neces sarily look for pay and support to a class more wealthy than themselves. On the other hand, the accumulation of capital in a free country leads to a competition which constantly diminishes the relative value of the separate masses. These masses, therefore, have a tendency to run toge ther, and to form legal or actual monopolies of various kinds. Hence the numerous Joint Stock Companies which of late have been projected, and of which the most promising rest on capitals of several millions in amount. The proposed West India Company, to which we have alluded, ap pears to possess great claims to public confidence. Report states its capital at three millions, its Chairman to be Mr. Baring, and its Committee to be composed of the senior branches of the first houses in the City, both as general merchants and as West Indian merchants. Mr. H. Man ning, of the respectable firm of Manning and Anderson, has hitherto taken a prominent part in the direction of the undertaking, and has ju diciously endeavoured to connect in its support the leading mercantile interests not only of Lon don, but also of Glasgow, Liverpool, and Bristol. Mr. Manning, in his letter (elsewhere given) says, that the intended West India Company is not to trench upon or interfere with private establishments—meaning, we presume, that it is not to take any unfair advantage of parties already engaged in any particular course of trade. If it succeeds, however, it must even tually supersede many minor establishments ; and hence only can the shareholders derive the large and permanent profits which they doubtless hope to make. Capital thus acting in vast accu mulated masses must necessarily produce a great change in the nature and effect of trade in gene ral. Within certain limits the change may be beneficial, but it certainly requires to be watched with roost careful vigilance by our Statesmen. [MORNING CRIRONICLIE.] The proceedings the Court of Ki ng ' s B enc h, yesterday, in which we were concerned, afford a striking proof of the benefit of a Free Press.— The moment the remarks on the condition of the children employed in the manufactory of Mr. Banks, appeared in The Chronicle, the plate was beset with people who, either in the discharge of official duty, or from motives of humanity, felt themselves called on to investigate into the circum stances of the case. Great improvements took place almost immediately afterwards ; the children were no longer permitted to sleep three in a-bed ; the house was better ventilated ; a schoolmaster was appointed, &c. Sce. The children appeared in Court yesterday, and w e h a d an o pp or t un ity o f seeing them. T hey had a healthy appearance, and some of them had even an air of hilarity, which sufficiently proved that they were well fed, and not over wrought. Is the benefit confined to the particular case ? No.---The publicity which the affair has received, must necessarily have put every manufacturer with whom destitute children are apprenticed out on his guard. The lot of hundreds, per haps thousands, of poor creatures may have been ameliorated, they may hare been not merely raised in physical comfort, but prepared by moral and religious instruction to fill a respectable statioc in after life, in consequence of the lesson which the notoriety given to this affair by the Press, could not fail to teach. Let us put Mr Bankes entirely out of the question, and suppose some other manufacturer in his situation, and no Press to draw the eye of the public to the poor little things placed so long under his controul. Let us suppose, too, some humane Magistrates should, in consequence of some rumour, feel it their duty to inspect their condition--- What then ? The 'affair lies entirely be tween the Magistrates and the manufacturer. The Magistrates may say, We, individually, will not be parties to the binding any appren tices to you. But application may be made to other Magistrates who may not share their re luctance.—The manufacturer may fight every inch of ground with the Magistrates who find fault with him ; but the moment the public eye is upon him, he is unnerved. In the meantime, even supposing the Magistrates should succeed in com pelling him to alter his treatment, their artillery is expended on him alone. No lesson is given to others. It is our firm and decided opinion, that without the exposure of the Press, our large cities, instead of being what they are, models of correctness and good order, would literally be sinks of abomina tion, in which cupidity and selfishness and vio lence sv.ild reign without controul.—The Press is truly the foundation of all our virtues. All who are in office, from the Judge on the Bench to the lowest servant of the public, act with a perpetual consciousness that many eyes are constantly upon them. All other Tri bunals are kept in check by the one great Tribunal to which the Press is Minister.— Conscious as we are of the importance of the functions which we have to discharge to the cause of virtue and improvement, we shall never he sitate, when exposure becomes a duty, to en counter the indignation which it may call forth in those who are affected by it. We hold in abomination the wanton invasion of domestic life, we detest calumnious attacks, dictated by a malicious wish to give pain, or to feed a prurient love of detraction ; but the exposure of abuse is not calumny, and the interested or wicked can alone seek to confound them. Late MARQUISES of LONDONDERRY. Monuments have been erected in the Church of Newtownarde, in the North of Ireland, to the memory of the late venerable Marquis of LONDONDERRY, and also to that of the illustrious Statesman, his son. Those monuments are of the most beautiful Parian marble, simple but elegant, and ex ecuted in the most masterly style by Westmacott of London. On the tablet of that to the memory of the father is the follow ing inscription : Sacred to the Memory of ROBERT, First Marquis of LONDONDERRY. He was born A.D. 1739, Created Earl of Londonderry A.D. 1796, And Marquis A.D. 1816. He died at Mount Stewart April 6, A.D. 1821, And was buried in the family vault near this place. Through the whole of a long life He devoted himself with unceasing assiduity To promote the welfare of Ireland. Residing in the midst of his tenantry, and watching over their interests with solicitude little less than paternal, Having attained a mature and vigorous old age, Respected by all who knew his virtues, Honoured by his tenantry and friends, And tenderly beloved by his wife and children, He finished his course on earth, Resting his hopes of a blessed immortality On their only true foundation, Faith in JESUS CHRIST. In commemoration of his exemplary life, this tablet is erected by his second son, Charles William Vane, Third Marquis of Londonderry. On that to the memory of the late lamented and illustrious Statesman, we read as follows : Sacred to the Memory of ROBERT, Second Marquis of LONDONDERRY. He was born A. D. 1769. . . And having filled many of the highest stations in public life, Succeeded to the paternal honours and estates in April A. D. 1821. He died at North Cray, in Kent, August 12, 182. His remains were interred in Westminster Abbey. History will record the success and splendour of his public career, during a period of difficulty unexampled in the annals of Europe. This Tablet commemorates his private worth and the virtues of his personal character. Foremost among the Statesmen of the age, He was not less distinguished by the faithful discharge of all the duties of social life. As a son, a brother, a husband, and a friend. His memory will ever be cherished with affectionate veneration By those who find their only consolation for his loss in the recollection of his virtues. This tribute To the best of brothers and of friends, is offered by Charles William Vane, Third Marquis of Londonderry. NEW ROYAL MEWS, PIMLICO.—This exten sire range of buildings is now bordering on completion, and consists of a principal quadrangle for his MAJtsTY's stud, and adjacent buildings for the reception of the horses of his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK; in the former are two ranges of stables, containing stalls for 24 state horses, the creams and his late Majesty's favourite blacks, the remainder being apportioned for his Majesty's private carriage horses and hacks. Those for the State horses are already finished, as are the Royal Duke's, in Arabella-row. A portion of the capital appropriated by the Bank of England to the lending on mortages, is at length about to find its way into circulation. Within a week from this time, there will be ad vanced, it is said, to different mortgages, about 400,0001. It is nearly twelve months since the first adaption of the measure, but the various dif ficulties started of a legal and genuine nature, have so long retarded the payment of the money. The Emperor of MOROCCO'S sons are brought up in the following singular manner :—As soon as they are born, the Emperor sends for a Moor of fortune (not one of the first people of rank), and delivers his son to him, to bring him up as his own. The child never sees his father again till he is 12 years old. The Moor to whose care he has been delivered is then ordered to bring him to Court, where he is examined by a council respecting the Koran, laws of the country, &c. ; and upon this examination depends the fate of the Moor. If the Emperor approves of the education of his son, the foster father's fortune is made ; if not, he is immediately cut to pieces in the Emperor's presence. CHINESE PHYSICIANS.--The physicians of China, by feeling the arms of a sick man in three places —to observe the slowness, the increase, or quick ness of the pulse—can judge of the cause, the nature, the danger, and the duration of his dis order. Without their patient's speaking, they reveal infallibly what part is affected. They are at once physicians and apothecaries, composing the remedies they prescribe. They are paid when they have completed a cure ; but they re ceive nothing when their remedies do not take effect. European physicians, it must be con fessed, are by no means soskilful as the Chinese; but in one thing they have the advantage over them, which is in taking their fees before they have performed the cure. Thus unlearned phy sicians ride iu their chariots in London ; while learned ones walk on foot in Pekin. COLCHESTER, APRIL 19.—0 n Wednesday last, JOSEPH SMITH, a promising young man, 21 years of age, the son of the late JOSEPH SMITH, of Stansteed Deal, whilst upon a visit to his uncle, Mr. COZENS, of Magdalen Laver Hall, put a period to his existence by shooting himself with a pistol. The deceased was at the time in an uneasy state of mind, which being proved to the satisfaction of the Coroner's Jury, they returned a verdict of I nsanity.—(Bury Gazette.) EXECUTION.—The four unfortunate men who received sentence of death at the Suffolk Assizes, viz. Robert Bradnum, John Wright, and Benja min Hozolett, for burglary, and John Cheney, for the same offence and for horse-stealing . , were ex ecuted on Wednesday at noon, near the gaol in Bury. The conduct of all the culprits, after their conviction, was marked with the utmost pro priety. They confessed the enormity of their crimes and the justice of their sentences, and warned their wives and former associates to adopt a different course of life. On Sunday a most affecting sermon was preached by the chaplain, the Rev. W. STOCKING, and the solemnity was greatly heightened by a coffin being placed before the unhappy men. Their feelings on this occasion were so powerfully worked upon by the eihorta tions of the Rev. Gentleman that they wept aloud. Application had been made to his MAJESTY for pardon for Cheney, the two last years of whose life have been entirely occupied by trespasses on the laws of his country ; and the only amelio rating circumstances were that he had never shed blood or used violence. The four culprits were some of them under and none beyond the vigour of life. The number of persons assembled to witness the melancholy spectacle of four human beings paying the forfeit of their lives to the offended laws of their country ) was immense. SUPERSTITION. SYRACUSE (SICILY.)—The superstition of the Sicilians, and the strange confidence entertained by them of deriving supernatural power from the supplications offered to Saints, is as incredible as it is extraordinary. This could not be more strongly exemplified than in the following anec dote, which was imparted to me by the Berm/ with the utmost possible gravity, and under the firmest conviction of its authenticity. At one particular period, during the late war, the French fleet appeared off this town, which threw the whole of the inhabitants into the greatest alarm. Apprehensive that it might be captured and pil laged, the whole of them turned out, and walked in formal procession to one particular spot conti guous to it, where they solemnly invoked the as sistance of Saint Luice, the tutelary Saint of Sy racuse, to defeat a landing of the French. In consequence of these, she actually saved th e town, by raising a most violent storm, which had the effect of blowing off the whole fleet off the Island of Sicily ! !—(Travels of WILLIAM IL" WILSON in Turkey, Greece, Sicily, and other countries.) CORONERS' INQUESTS. MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.-SEVEN PNV SONS DROWNED. Yesterday evening Inquisitions were takes before Mr. lisrvrisr, the Coroner, on view of the bodies of Mary' Threader, William Eynan, Elizabeth Mitchell, Robert Seis-' son, and Elizabeth Scisson, his daughter, aged three years and a half. The first inquest was held at the Horse and Groom. White Horse-street, Ratcliff, on Mary Threader, and the in quest on the other unfortunate deceased persons was held aS the Plough, Kidney-stairs, Limehouse.—The following was the evidence adduced on both inquests :—Mr. W. Thomas sworn : Witness is a ship-owner, residing in Narrow-street , Ratcliff: he was, about eight o'clock on Monday evening last, standing at his back door, which commanded a view of the river : the tide was going down at the time; he saw a boat on the north side of the river, opposite his premises ; four barges were hanging to a chain, on Mr. Kean, the coal merchant's pre-. mises, one outside the pile:, and the other three hanging to her; a long loaded barge was at this time dropping clown "head to tide ;" he can't tell to whom the barge belonged, although he and others called out to ascertain that fact; the long barge was going to " bring-up" to Mr. Kean's barges; the boatman WO pulling a-head, but finding he could not, he dropped back with a view to go outside the loaded barge, but from the weight of his boat, he could not accomplish his project, and his boat struck against one of Mr. Kean's barges, which stopped him. — In the mean time, the loaded barge kept dropping down, and rudder struck the boat, drove her under one of Mr. Kesn's barges, and all the passengers were washed overboard. When witness found that the accident had occurred, he cried out " Sculler," and several watermen and part of a ship's crew nut out to the assistance .of the drowning persons, and picke d up the waterman, an elderly man, an infant, and Mary Threader, all living, and who survived the shock, with the exception of the latter, who died shortly after she was brought ashore. It is witness's opinion, that if Mr. Kean's barges had not been a m g o r o e r a e h td dealter there, t d h a e n g d e i s r a i s a t e would bares ar ges b e n i o n t g hv i a lao e o r occurred.e(iin that situation. Th er e One of the witness's apprentices was drowned a short time ago in consequence, and he has himself been the means of prevent ing many accidents there. There were four women, four men (including the Waterman) and two female children in the boat at the time. Witness thinks that the people in the long barge ought to have warned those in the boat of their danger. John Threader, an old man, deposed he was husband to the deceased of that name ; they went together to Greenwich on. Monday last, not to the fair, but to visit a pa r ticular friend c 3 his at the College, and w a s r e t ur ni ng h ome i n the boat alluded to. Witness cannot acquit the waterman of blame, for he wenton shore twice in comin g u p, a lth oug h h e wa s told several times to be cautious. Witness cannot recollect under whatcir cumstances either lie or any of the others were saved, he was in such confusion at the time. \Arm. Hewett works occasionally for Mr. Thomas, the first as described ba a en n dd d bw r y a a n sh sn t to itslt we master a w r ; e h h ha o re u f s h e le , vaiiti a tri rhld n ee d aaatdwsl s eso a or: gctt taken a l ilc e eddenrd a eo c enfar c i:tdvweoonhretico;he C screaminghl ore ! placed in the water, in order to save some of the persons, but lwieashaddiennoalsilivece;esasn;d he e e went sw i\ t i o rs Cal l ; neigh bouring surgeons, but they refused to attend. He thinks the waterman was to blame, for he was cautioned of the dange r long before the accident occurred. The situation of the bargeS alluded to are most dangerous to persons navigating oa the river, and in witness's opinion have no right whatever to be moored there. The Jury were all of one opinion, that the situation of these barges was dangerous and illegal, and wished to hear of the . Coroner how the evil could be remedied. The CORONER said, the matter might be either represente d at the Crown-office, or the nuisance indicted at the Sessions. The Jury expressed their determination of laying the matter . before the Parish Committee, who, they were sure, would take the necessary steps to remove the nuisance. After some further comments, the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death" in each case. The waterman received a most excellent character from seve ral respectable inhabitants in the neighbourhood. There are two of the unfortunate sufferers still missing ; o n 6 is the wife of Robert Scission, who was an engineer, living in Harris's-court, Ratcliffe; the other is a young woman only 11 ' years of age, named Betsy Mitchell, who was to hare boll' married in a few days to the deceased William Eynan. INEANITT.---Another Inquest was held yester day on the body of Mr. John Haydon, aged 72, who put an end to his existence by cutting his throat. It appeared front the evidence that he was somewhat of a fanatic; that he advanced the principal part of his money for the building of a Methodist Chapel, for which, however h e expected to receive an interest of fifteen per cent. Disappointed ir i to want, and on Monday last it was considered ho had his pecuniary , expectations, he was reduced to poverty and ha d not the means of providing himself with common necessaries. -- It was, however, at the same time stated that ho was always of a miserly disposition, and lent his money out at usurious inte rest. One of the Jurors said he saw him go to chapel on Mon day last, with the hind part of his wig before ; and the genera conclusion was, that his pecuniary disappointments had de ranged his intellects.—The CoaoNER said, no doubt could remain of the insanity of the deceased, and the Jury found a verdict accordingly. Wednesday morning an Inquest was held in the Fleet prison, on the body of James Howarth, who died there on Monday evening. Ann Harvey deposed that she, being the wife of It. Harvey, also a prisoner in the same ward with the deceased, had known him tbr 8 months or more, and that dur ing that time lie had complained of violent pains in the stomach, and expectorated very much, notwithstanding which he WO able to walk out until Saturday se'nnight, since which time he had been confined to his chamber; lie wanted for nothing, a s his allowances from the charity, and the benevolent alms of per:, sons passing " Poor's grate ' precluded him from want ; opinion of witness he died a natural death.—Mr. Brown , the Warder stated that he had offered to procure the de."- ceased a liberation by a writ supersedeas, but he refused Mr. B. further stated that he, jointly with another, was '"' the poor box, and the profits derived from the benevolent 1 , -'' sengers was too great a temptation to accept the offer. Jury were satisfied that the deceased was deprived of e xistent s from a combination of natural causes, and returned a verdict accordingly. COAL-MARKET, APRIL 21. Is at Market. Ships sold Priss.
