IV., he found a clause in which it ss as provided that if war was timid necessary that the deliberation of the Board of L:ontrol ought to be secret—that the despatches should te sent to the Secret Committee, to be signed and trans- . mit ted to the G overner -G enera l a b roa d w i t h ou t inspec ti m. Now he thought no one would say that that clatise repealed the Act of Geo. 111. The CHAIRMAN said perhaps it would be better that the Clerk should read the clause to the meetingere terred to by the Hon. Proprietor—the clause in the 46111 Gee. 111. The Clerk then read the clause, which provided that it the deliberations of the Board of Control were consi dered necessary to be kept secret, that the despatches should be sent to the Secret Committee for signature, to be sent abroad without inspection. Mr. - Liwis considered that his observations applied with equal force as before.—(Hear, hear.) This was a 'war conducted without those parties Who were' inte tested in the welfare of India knowing one word about it. It was clear, then, ,that the Direetors had no power to levy taxes for the support of the war in India. That was the position which he contended for, and which he thought he had - proved to demonstration. Tice war was not only illegal, but contrary to the law of nations. What could be more unjust than to make war upon a nation, not for any. real or supposed injury in flicted on us by them, but because there was a bare pos sibility that that nation, at. present in a state of friendly --m bate torah-tom. - might itt esteeerfoorespestiodeesreted tale knew when—enlistitself on the side of another nation hoetile to us? Such a proceeding was, as he had observed, contrary to the spirit and letter of the law of nation:, (The lion. Proprietor quoted Grotius, tonong others of he most eminent jurists, in support of hie opinion ; and went on to contend against what he considered the in iustice of imposing the burden of the expeteee of the war on the people of India.) With respect to are future po licy of the war, he trusted that mercy would murk their conquests, and that nothing like revenge should be evinced in our intercourse with the natives. He concluded by stating the pleasure he had in supporting the motion. The CHAIRMAN said that, before proceeding further with the debate, he would read a cominunication which he had to make to the Court, which . he would have dune previously had not an 'lion. Proprietor, wh. ,urt he now saw present, been ab ;Put. — (Hear, hear.) On the occasion of the last de bate on the question. of the Hill Coolies. an lion. Pro prietor (Mr. G. Thompson) had stated that Sir B. Yhr quhar, the late Governor of the Mauritius, had destroyed himself. He (tile Chairman) met the assertion at the time with a direct denial. He would now make no further observation on the matter, but read a letter,: on the subject from the son of that lamented gentleman. (The Chairman here read the letter, denying that there was any truth in the assertion rela tive to his late father, which had been made by the Hon. Proprietor. The letter enclosed three certificates from the physieiaes and relatives attendant on Sir T. Far quhar during his last illness and death. Those certili eates which were corroborative of the statements in the letter, were also read to the Court by the Chairman.) Mr. THOMPSON expressed his regret at having ieflicted any pain, as his assertion must have ./one, on the relatives of the deceased gentleman, respecting whom he made that erroneous statement. '['he impression on his mind relative to this matter had resulted from a conversation which he had had many-years ago with Sir 'l'. F. Buxton on the subject. He now ape ogised for having suffered himself to make an assertion which, however true he then believed it to be, was cal culated to give such pain to most deserving perso nages. He trusted the Court would accept his apology. The CHAIRMAN said that after what had fallen from the Hon. Proprietor, he trusted that the subject would be suffered to drop, and would be revived no more. 'lire business before the Court was then resumed, when Mr. FIELDER said that having looked over the enirteen Charter papers his conviction was that 'he war was illegal. The Hon. Proprietor then pro ceeded to read some ex - tracts from a letter of Sir Charles Grant, addressed to the Court of Directors at the time is hen the renewal of the Company's Charter was under discussion, and when the Right Honourable . Gentle man was President of 'the 'Board of Ctintrol. In that letter Sir Charles Grant assured the - Company, on the part of the (= overnment of that (Illy, that the rights of the Proprietors-should be respected ; he stated - that., their revenue then was in a most flourishing condition, and that he believed-that ) under proper management, i t would alwaxilkpAinati To 't„lio:tipentlitttle„,,, Now e (Mr. Fielden) contended that lose promises caul nut be realised, if the British Government were to seddleln dia with an expense of 8,000,000/. for carrying on an un happy and a ruinous war. In his (pinion there was but one course to be pursued, namely, that the whole ex penses of the Akhan expedition should be borne, not by the natives of India, but by the people of this country. Mr. Geonce Tnomesox rose and said that he fully the vast importance of the question then be fore them, in a material and moral point of view. Ile was aware that by the terms of the motion the di.cussion was necessarily con fined to a question of poUnds, shillings, and pence— to tile question, who were the parties to Lear the ex penses of a war of aggression waged against the Aff ghans and their country in Central Asia ? But he thought that they were first bound to make themselves familiar with the history of that war, and all the material facts connected with it, ere they voted upon the question then under their consideration. How stood the facts ? ,The war had been waged against a country containing about 14,000,000 of inhabitants. What had been the result of that war ? These people had been sentenced, as a nation, to death ; and the Bri tish authorities had executed that sentence. They had driven a ruler frtim his throne ; they had occupied the country ; they had made the inhabitants tri butaries ; they had razed cities, towns, and tresses ; they had inveigled mountain chieftains, and thrown them into prison. The representatives of British power had acted most unprovokedly, unjustly, and perfidiously towards the most friendly tribes in the country. They had inflamed among the natives a morn than common hatred—a religious hatred, the . fierce and implacable of a ll hatreds Tey .is of a n countr had most inflamed the h a t re d o f th e inhahito7 900 miles in length, by as many 'et breadth. The erettt . question was, whether the war had been legally under taken—whether right and justice were upon our side. The question was whether tho war was one of which the nations of the Perth oould approve ; or was it one which bore the appearance of a piratical war, where every death occasioned was murder in the sight of God. He said calmly and dispassionately that they had been pirates in Affghanistan ; they had acted the pact Of treacherous men, bandits and murderers in Affghanistan. He defied any gentlemen in that room to show that the Affghans had owl-. been guilty of an unfriendly act to wards us as a nation. They were a wild, but they were cull a noble, and in tall respects a generous and con fiding, people. Our Ambassadors to that country had been met with nothing het kindness front the Inllus to Neshawbur, and from Neshawbur to Cantd. Sir Alexander Throes, received many presents, and Ills part ilim With heat Mahomed was most friendly. A letter, from host Mehomed confirmed that, and complain t ,d at the same time that the Airglians made treat , : cs with no other power but the British, yet thw; had done nothing for them, and would not o'o7 assist to protect them frOM 040 -Persians. This stn s the end of the peace with the Affghans, and he (Mr. Thompson) ventured to qq that no people had ever shown themselves more confiding, more generous more unsuspectin g t h an t h ese poor Affeet ans. He would now look for a moment at morality of the question. Thousands had been slaughtered lo Affghamstan, butchered in cold blood and those taken as prisoners of war, were shot without camp. • They put a man upon the throne whose first ea was one of cold-blooded butchery, • The. country had been sacked and pillaged from one end to the other. Gltuznee was taken, and when he - heard that deed trumpeted through the land as a brilliant achievement, he thought that the voice of humanity would drown it, the dietetees of morality silence it, and lie blushed fee hia country. The duty of paying the expenses fell upon those . who had been ' guilty of 'these immoral deeds. Sir J. Hoblionse stated, the other night in the House of Commons, that he believed I ra Auckland's proclamation of the war was a trte e He (Mr. Thompson) declared it to be as fulse a ogle as had ever been issued, The Hon.. Proprietor these proceeded to 00,mntent, at cotAiderable length, ups the speech o f the late Presid en t o f the Board of ontrol in the House of Commons, on Thursday evening-, in the course o f whieli he took occasion to complain of the meagreness of the information which had been laid before the public. The most important communications were dreadfully mutilated ; and a great many had not been supplied at all, All that wtt3 left out was important, as showing the state of the Affghans, and co n t a i n i ng the real end opinions of Sir Alex;r Burnes. Sir Alexander. Burnes was a victim to their policy ; he (Mr. Thomp son) would say it—he was a murdered man. His under standing, his patriotism, his charity, and experience, all said, "Go n o t t o t h e war. " 'Pe depose Dost Mahoined was a stroke of most unwise and unjust policy. He was the man to preserve peseee, and wore he still in power they might be at peace with Affghanistan. He (Mr. Thomp son) W4a a native of this country, and a member of 4hai Court, and he said that the country ought to Pay the expenses of this war,—(Hear, hear.) He did not care for the dividends —(Hear, hear.) He hoped that none of them would get their dividends next year, and ti ii the would perhaps evince a more peaceful eherecter. Perish the money—live the law of God.— Meer) What ri g ht h a d we to talk of revenge ? Re venge, indeed, upon the Ap t lans I For what ?

The leading Ad7antages of this Officeare— A low rate of Premium, without profits, or an increased rate of Premium, with participation in the profits of the Office. The following are the annual Premiums required for the as surance of 1001. on a healthy life in either case:— Assurers may contract to pay their Premiums either in one sum, in a given number of payments, in annual, half-yearly, or quarterly payments, or on the ascending or descending scale. Officers in the Army and Navy on active service, Per sons afflicted with chronic and other diseases, and such as are going beyond the limits of Europe, are also Assured at Mode rate Rates. A Bonus, at the rate of 15 per cent. on the premiums re ceived, has just been declared on all Beneficial Policies, on which three Annual Premiums had been paid on the 31st of December, 11141; and the holders of such Policies can receive that amount at once in ready money, or have an equivalent re vet sionary sum added to their Policy, or a proportionate re duction made in their future Premiums, at their option. Prospectuses, and all necessary information, may be obtained at the Office. MICHAEL SAWARD, Secretary. , UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE OFFICE, 1, King William-street, London. The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is consistent with perfect security. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May, 1849, when a reduction of GO per Cent. was declared on the current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841, when a similar reduction was again declared. The following table will show the operal made by the Society : Age when Policy was issued.

ADJOURNED DEBATE ON. THE AFFGRAN WAR. The Court of Proprietors of East India Company's Stock met yesterday at the East India Houze, pursuant to agreement , to res ume th e d e b ate on the motion of Mr. 1). Salomons, " That whereas the war in Affghanistan had been undertaken for national purposes, it was the opinion of the Court that the ex penses of that war ought not to be thrown on the people of India; but should be borne by the Exchequer of the United Kingdom," which had beets stibMitted to the Court on Wednesday, and the deflate on which had been adjourned to this day. Sir J. L. LUSHINOTON, the Chairman of the Court of Directors, took the chair at twelve o'clock. The minutes of the last Court having been read, Mr. LEWIS rose for the purpose of resuming the de bate on Mr. Salomon's motion. As the natives of India were not represented in the British Parliament, it be hoved the Company, as the guardians of those natives, to beware lest, by any supineness or neglect on its part, the interests of India should suffer. The present motion was brought forward fOr that purpose ; to protect India from an evil of the greatest magnitude. If the expense's of the Affghau War were to be borne by India, great financial embarrassment must follow, a necessity for the imposition of additional taxation would arise, and dis content among the natives would be the necessary con sequence. lt was,their duty to avert this e vil, w hi c h, if once inflicted, they would seek in vain to remove.. If it could be shown that the Afghan war had been isss.,...mnasussw lililllt - enee for this country in Central Asia, in opposition to the influence of Persia and Russia, and if it should be proved that the war itself was unnecessary and unjust, Then he .apprehended the motion would be agreed to, with scarcely a dissentient voice. The Shah of Persia had resolved to obtain satisfaction from Prince Kamram. Of Herat, far aggressions committed by the Prince of Herat in the Persian territories. That the Shah was justified in so doing was admitted in the letter of Mr. Ellis in 1836; and in Sir John M'Niel's letter, dated '24th February, 1837, that gentleman expressly admitted that the Shah was perfectly justified in making war upon Herat. It appeared, however, that the Persian Mo- ' nareh had ulterior views, and was desirous of add ing Caudahar and Caubul to his own domi nions, the rulers of which countries had made overtures to him, and were prepared to second his views. It appeared also that the Russian Ambassador had in stigated the Shah to attack Herat, for the purpose of in creasing the influence of Russia. The British Govern ment was bound by treaty not to interfere if war arose between Afghanistan and Persia, except at the re quest of the belligerent Powers. The British Govern ment, however, in the present case, determined not to be bound by the terms of that treaty. Sir John M`Neil's remonstrances at the Persian Court against the attack of Herat were unsuccessful, and in July, 1837, the Persian forces marched to undertake the siege. The object of the British Government was to pre vent Russia getting an ascendancy in Central Asia through the mediuth of Persia, and in order to carry out that policy Sir John 11PN - ea requested the Governor-General of India, with whom he had throughout these transactions maintained com munications, to order the Bombay Government to send cruisers and troops to the Persian Gulf to make a de monstration to back the remonstrances of the British envoy at the Court of Persia. The Governor-General was then informed by Sir John M'Neil of the ill success of his negotiations with Persia, of his (Sir John M'Neil's) withdrawal from that Court, and of the cessation of all diplomatic intercourse between the two countries. This was proved by the celebrated de claration of Simla. The Governor-General was, at the same time, urged to send forces for the purpose of defending Herat, in order to prevent Persia from be coming the pioneer of Russia. That was his reason for marching forces into Affghanistan. The Governor-Ge neral sent troops to Atfghanistan, to carry out the views of the British Government, and to place a barrier to tlu advance of Russia. In August, 18:38, the Shah of Persia raised the siege of Herat ; at the same time the Russian Government disavowed all participation in the acts of its agent in Persia. It disavowed all intention of making any attempt to establish its supremacy in Cen tral Asia, and theref o re a ll hostilities on our part ought to have ceased . it before the siege of Herat, " rk war against Affghanistan would have been unjastitiath and impolitic, it was equally so after the siege of Herat had been raised. The British Government, however, still prosecuted its views of conquest, .ir-the-purpose of creating a barrier against the possible advance of Russia, through Persia, upon Affghanistan— and they directed the Governor-General to prosecute those views. This had been distinctly ad mitted the other night by Sir John Hobhouse in the House of Commons. Now let them look to the cause of the war. The avowed object of the war was to arrest R issian encroachments on Affghanistan, and that ob ject was to be effected by placing the Shah Soojah upon the throne of Afighainstan, and expelling Dust Ma homed from the sovereignty. Upon what principle was the British Government justified ? Dost Mahomed and the rulers of Candahar had done no injury what ever. Had they insulted a single messenger of the Government ? No. He had in the first instance offered his alliance to Persia, and that was at a time when N.B. Public Offices and Merchants can be supplied with POSTAGE STAMPS and ENVELOPES in any quantity at GOVERNMENT PRICES. The followinfr paragraph, which appeared in the Times of Saturday, refers to the system discovered by Mr. Hunt, of 224,1Zegent-street:—"lt will be recollected that a lad named Pearson, one of the persons who witnessed the treasonable attempt upon the Queen's life on the Sunday afternoon, was afflicted with so inveterate a habit of stammering, as to be unable even to give an alarm: He has, we are informed, by means of a new wocess of cure, obtained the power of perfect articula te the hesitation which before rendered him'scarcely intelligible, even when not excited, having entirely disappeared." LADVERTISEMENT.I IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised world, that any enconium on its merits might appear super fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half a century Since, many imitators have started up, with more or less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London; and also at their three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ; and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public. The deception referred to is that of passing off a spuri , ius article for '. Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously constantlyftsheeh their firm se fi up r i m p; palmed on the public for the genuine —the reputation of the later is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its p p r la e n sen a tir i : l g ac t i h n e g ß o y a l Appointment legitini ate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe and Co. have adopted th r e e the cork of each bottle, a lied Label over ala ee s a s well as the principal Nobility in the in the centre, and the gthe n eu a yu m in c e o . and Co. refer with y on the ea li ch oy s a i l le ; with outpridewtiont;ilie n fa o c n t e th i a s t three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less of London and Windsor, constant on the continent and in other parts of the world. Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the East and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually transmitting orders received from t heir: respective agents and correspondents, and highly gratifyin g i s the testimony Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle• men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their Sioda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the high condition in which it is generally f oun d . The Water ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express reference to its destination, and it is well k nown that no other can equally well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe's Lemonade is an elegant preparation of mere recent intro duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is rapidly getting into extensive reputation. It is an effervescing draught of most agreeable favour, and made of the best mate rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and medical men constantly recommend it in cases of fever, &c., nor is it less de sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will have a yellow lable on its side, with the name and address of the firm. Schweone and Co. are the largest importers of flat , German Seltzer Water, which they receive direct from: i springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the publt in the original packages. N.B.—Export orders for all climates executed on the shortest notice.

The Crown Prince will go, to Nordernez, and the official announcement of his intended marriage be made, as we understand, after it has been laid be fore the British Parliament, it was admitted that Persia was justified in making; an attack on his Government. Dost Mahomed after wards sought our alliance, as he was anxious to avoid the alliance with Persia: Why, look at the conduct of Dost :Mahomed as far as regarded England. Sir A. Burnes said in a letter in 1836, that he (Dost Mahomed) wiated our co-operation for extending the navigation of the Indus. How was SirAlexanderßurnes received? He said himself that he was received with demonstrations of joy, and the utmost respect. Sir Alexander Burnes, in a letter dated the sth of October, 1837, said that Dost Mahomed listened with great attention to what the Government of England pro posed, and he was quite ready to enter into the views of the British Government, as he found that by so doing his customs were increasing. In an interview which took place between Post Mahomed and Sir Alexander Burnes, Post Mahomed stated the political difficulty in ,which he was involved to . Sir A. Burnes. He said that Mysore had been invested and Affghanistan had been entered by Shah Soojah, and was in the power of. Runjeet Sing, and whilst it was so oc cupied he (Dost Mahomed) could not be in tranquillity, and he could not feel himself secure in his dominions. He knew that our influence with Runjeet Sing was powerful. • He wished us to give our aid to interfere with Runjeet Sing. He asked Sir Alexander BUrnes whether we were willing to assist him against Persia. What was our answer? The same as before ; we refused to interfere or give him as sistance. Thus rejected, with Persia advancing into the country, he again reverted to au alliance with Persia. Now this was perfectly consistent. As an independent sovereign he was perfectly justified in doing so ; and yet it was for this reason, and that alone, that we thought proper to march our forv ; -_ , 4 into Affghanistan. What was the policy of this (to vernment ? The object of the war was to raise a barrier against Russia, and to effect that object to place Shah Soojah on the throne of Affghanistan. Where was the wisdom of selecting Shah Soojah, who had Weil many years expelled from his throne by his own sub, jects ? He bad been, up to 11132, pensioned on the bounty of the British Government. In 1832 he made an application to Lord Bentinek, with a view to obtain the aid of the British Government, for the pur&)se of restoring him to the throne. lie said that many tribes were anxiot.s for his restoration, as tiwy were then suffering from tyranny, anti they thefefor.e wished his milder government, Lord lieutitlck stated to him that it was not the pleastnae of the British Government . to interfere with the quarre l s o f hi S neighbours. NotwithStanding this, Shah Sooj a h was determined to try his ch ance , an d for that purpog,a q . sembled a large force, but found great diftioulty porting it from want of mean s .

Instead of quarrelling with the Affghans, he thought the Russians were more worthy of our ire, yet we were on the most friendly terms with them.' Indeed, he thought that the Russians should bear the expenses of the war, for they certainly derived more benefit from it than any other people.—(Hear, hear.) Upon the showing of Sir John llobhuuse, he (Mr. Thompson) declared this war to be an unconstitutional and an inhuman war, and one of a must impolitic kind. In answer to the question, however, " Who is to pay for it?" he answered, most unhesitatingly, " Great Britain. ' —(Hear.) It was not the interests of India, but the in terests of Great Britain, that stimulated this war. The interest of India was not to spend Gd. in it. Parliament had been accountable for the war, and Parliament had a right to pay for ite e -(Cheers:) Whether he looked at the interests to have been promoted by its. success,. or the characters to have been impaired by its failure, cr the honour of the flag—the flag of Great Britain—which had been planted in the country, he felt that this was a na tional question, and not one for the East India Com.. pany. • He did hope that they would prosecute their suit, though he had little hopes that they would do so successfully.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN expressed his satisfaction that ths question had been brought before the Court of Prod prietors. He agreed with:the mover of the resolution s that this was a question of an European character.--• (Hear.) There was one point on which it appeared to him they had not sufficiently touched. It was this—Sir 3. MaNeil who was extremely anxious that the siege of Herat should be raised. Ile had nearly completed every thing to tie satisfaction of both parties, when •Count Simonovich arrived, after which his exertions were rendered of no avail, and Shah Soojah underwent a great change. This lie (the Chairman) thought was a strong proof of Russian interference. It was there that Count Nesselrode, in reply to a demand for an explanation, stated tha Count Simonovich had acted against orders; but did they not see that it was possible for there to be two kinds of orders—one in the case of things going smoothly and all being successful, and one in case they should not succeed ?—(Hear, hear.) He (the Chairman) confassed he was surprised to hear Lord Palmerston say that this was not a foreign question ; if it was not, how had hey as Foreign Minister, so much to do with it ?—(Heer, hear.) This matter had claimed the attentive of the Board of Directors for a long time, and so long ago as the month of April last, a remonstrance was-trans mitted ou the subject to her Majesty's Government. He thought this Court ought to pursue a middle course, and Auteas e kkat s alakaties „ea. European cptesilou altegether,- blialiit it it partook in a great degree of the character of an Indian question. He did hope, that the proceedings of her Majesty's Ministers would be such as not only ha restore their finances, but peace also, in India.—(Cheers) He shot ild propose the addition of a word or two to the motion of the Honourahle Proprietor, - which he (the Chairman) might say he hoped would be Carried( almost without a dissentient voice. The people of this r country were already very .heavily taxed, and he was sure that the Minister of the country could hardly ton_ sent to burden the people anew in order to pay th e ex penses of this war.

Mr. WEEDING recommended that the expenses ehoulid be ,borne equally between Great Britain and India. Mr. SALONONS consented to insert the amendments recommended by the Chairman in his resolution.. Mr. Banerivaaa supported the view of the Directors. An HON. PROPRIETOR thought it of the greatest inr , - portance that seine means should be adopted to prevonst these great and terrible wars in India. It appeared t him, that at present the President of the Board of Con • trol and use Governor-General caused these warsi whenever they pleased, and they had no means a prevent - it; After a short conversation, - Mr. Sxi.oxoss rose to reply. lie stated that his c. la jest in bringing forward this motion had been e' pletely answered.—(Hear, hear.) It had often staisek. him as remarkable that when. devastating wars were/un dertaken, no Member of Parliament came forwr.ril to inquire into the foundation and the policy of such, -wars. --(Hear, hear.)

The policy of this war was condamnea in the strongest manner by every one at all convereaint with Indian affairs.

Davis, corn-factor, Old-street, 'St. Luke's, under the following circumstances:—lt appears that a young man, t•tventy-one years of age; named John Ward, in the em ploy of 31r. Davis, had occasion to descend a very deep well oa the premises, for the purpose of cleaning it out. as it was found to be in a very dirty condition. lie was letdown in a bucket for this purpose, and had been there about five minutes 'then he was asked by those at the top, if all was right, to which he replied in the affirmative. He was called to a second time, and gave the same answer. Shortly after, on calling to. bins again, they received no reply, and about a quarter of sae hour had elapsed from the time Ward first went down, where a boy was sent down in a bucket, and on reaching the barmy,. called out that he was, he thought, lying there dead. The bey was instantly raised, and en reaching the surface, complained of feeling a sense of stupefaction come over him as he ap. proached the bottom of the well. The body of the unfortunate young man was recovered as speedily as possible, but life was quite extinct. SUICIDES IN LUNATIC 110SPI . TA .
