WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNER a HIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. On the death of either, the survivor Is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life.

LAW' INTELLIGENCE. PALACE COURT, Westminster, Oct 19. (Before Mr. BRENT BRENT.) F9RD e. JONES. In this case, as mentioned in The Sun of Saturday last, a rule was granted to set aside the judgment, on the ground that it had been improperly obtained. IL will be recollected that the defendant, a working gun smith, had all his furniture seiz3i and sold at 04 instance of a loan society, and his case has since excited a good deal of public sympathy, the present application resulting from the publicity given. . Mr. LOCKE, as counsel for the defendant, moved to make the rule absolute on an affidavit of service. Mr. KINGOON (Sheppard and Kingdon), as attorney for the plaintiff, against whom the rule had 'been granted, applied for a postponement on the ground that he had not been able to instruct counsel, it not being known what counsel would b 3 in attendance. Mr. LOCKE said he had not the slightest objection to let the matter stand over, but he must deny that the names of the gentlemen who would be in attend ance were not known in time to instruct counsel. • -. He did not wish it to go forth to the public that counsel did not attend. He wished to know whether Mr. Kingdon male inquiries yesterday in order to instruct counsel. Mr. KINGDON said he did make inquiries, but it was too late to instruct counsel when he ascertained who would attend. Mr. Locss observed that his Learned Friend, Mr. Paterson, had, in consequence of a message from a clerk of Mr. Romaine (one of the counsel of the court), waited to be instructed in the matter, but was not consulted. " Let it not be said," added Mr. Locke, " that you could not get a counsel." Mr. PATERSON, thus appealed to, stated that he waited at chambers till four o'clock, expecting to have seen the attorney, as informed by Mr. Romaine's clerk, and he could have been waited upon at his own house had it been required ; he was willing to attend for his friend Mr. Romaine. Mr. KINGDON said it was well known that of late counsel had not attended the court. The Learned JUDGE remarked that they certainly had not ; there had not been much for them to do. He might mention that they had not seen Mr. Locke of late. Mr. LocKE pleaded indisposition for his absence; Mr. Romaine had been on circuit. The Learned JUDGE, alluding to the recent elec tion of Mr. Best, another of the four barristers of the court, as Member of Parliament for Kidderminster, said he supposed he was attending to his Parliamen tary duties. Mr. LocKE—Preparing to attend to them. The Learned Counsel bad no objection to the application to let the case stand over, only he did not wish it to be stated that it was because counsel did not attend. Mr. KINGDOM said he would not trust to counsel of the court attending; he would specially bring a gen tleman to show cause. The Learned JUDGE thought time should b. allowed to show cause. Mr. LocKs hoped the rule would be peremptorily fixed for Friday next. Every day was an object to ,the poor defendant. The COURT fixed Friday next. Mr. LocKE subsequently applied for copies of the affidavits to be read in answer, as the rule was to stand over as asked. Mr. KINGDON expressed his willingness to accede to the request. There was no need to trouble the Court on the point. The rule was peremptorily fixed for argument on Friday next. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Oct. 19. This Court sat to-day to hear bail cases and mo tions. By some rnismarilgemcmt, as we noticed on e former occasion, all parties were summoned to be in attendance at ten o'clock, although it was ten minutes past eleven when Mr. Commissioner Harris took his seat on the bench. IN RE RENTON NICHOLSON. This insolvent was described as the keeper of the Garrick's Head Tavern, Bow-street, and as formerly a part proprietor of Cremorne-gardens, an exhibitor of Poses Plastiques and Female Serenaders, and a lecturer at various places upon poetry, music, and song. His present application was to be admitted to bail until the day appointed for his hearing. In reply to questions from the COMMISSIONER, The insolvent said, he had been a bankrupt once and insolvent thrice before. Mr. COOKS, who supported the application, re marked that the insolvent had continued since his last insolvency to deal with many of his then creditors, and had paid off 4 . 500/. 14s. 9d. since he was last in this court. The sureties proposed proving sufficient, the bail was allowed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Nicholas Ryan was brought before Alderman Car den by Inspector Mitchell, of the City Police force, charged upon suspicion of having received silk shawls, scarves, handkerchief's, &c., the property of Messrs. Cook and Co., of St. Paul's Churchyard, warehousemen, well knowing that they had been stolen. Inspector Mitchell stated that the case was con nected with the case of Burns, who was on Friday committed for having plondered the warehouse of Messrs. Cook and Co. In consequence, said the wit ness, of information which I had received I took the ' prisoner into custody on Saturday afternoon, and told him I charged him with having received a quantity of silks, shawls, scarves, and other articles, knowing them to have been stolen. He asked me where they had been stolen from ? I said from Messrs. Cook's, in St. Paul's Churchyard. He said all he knew of it was, that Burns lodged in his house, that he had lent Burns a box to put the things into, but that Burns had since left his house, and stolen his box. I asked him if he had any of the property at his house. He said he had not. He then told a fellow-workman to go to his house and tell his wife, and I therefore sent an officer there to search it. I took him at Standgate, near Westminster-bridge. He said he lived at No. 2, Artichoke-place, New cut, and I found that such was the case. Storey, the officer, said that he found at the pri soner's house in the top room, in a box, twenty-three. silk handkerchiefs, two shawls, and other articles, and a ticket and several duplicates, some of which related to handkerchiefs. The box was locked and he broke it open, and he found there a board, which he pro duced. The handkerchiefs, the duplicates, and a ticket, which belonged to the firm, and had been found in the box, were produced, and several pawnbrokers' attended to give evidence, and stated that Julia Ryan, the wife of the prisoner, had pledged the articles. Julia Ryan, who was in attendance upon a sum mons, was then placed at the bar and charged as having been concerned with her husband in receiving the goo ls. Mr. Jardine identified the whole of the property as belonging to Messrs. Cook and Co., and stated that they had been kept in a place to which Burns, who had been committed for robbing the firm, had had access. The witness, upon looking at the ticket produced, said that he had written it himself. Storey, the officer, said—When I went to No. 2, Artichoke-place, to search the house, I saw the female prisoner, and told her that her husband was taken into custody for a robbery committed by Burns at Messrs. Cook and Co's. She said she knew nothing of any stolen goods. I began to search, and as I was going up stairs she said, " Oh, tell you where I have got some things," and she took me to Burns's room, and said they were there. She said they had dropped from a box which Burns took away, and she picked them up. I broke the box open, and found twenty-three handkerchiefs and neckerchiefs, and four duplicates relating to silk handkerchiefs, and the ticket which has been identified by Mr. Jardine. Ryan, whose demeanour at the bar was firm and respectful, declared most solemnly that he never knew there was any property of the kind in his house. He had, he said, been all his life a hardworking man, and he showed a pair of hand s seame d an d p uc kered with toil in evidence of the fact, which he said the cha racter he had maintained amongst all his employers would further confirm. He never had had a robber inmate, about his roof b e f or e B urns b e came an about three weeks ago, and he never had a thought that an atom of property was in his house which should not be there. He had been taken by the police from his daily labour, which produced that with which be supported his family without disgrace; and he could have no thought of being a receiver of stolen goods. Alderman CARDEN—Your wife knew where the stolen goods were. Ryan—My Lord, she never opened her lips to me about picking them up. I never heard a word about them till the officer men tioned it. Storey said he had heard an excellent character of Ryan. Alderman CARDEN said he believed the woman at the bar had brought her husband, who evidently was an industrious man, into the difficulty and disgrace in which he app eare d. H er story about picking up the handkerchiefs as they dropped from Burns wa s monstrously incredible. The Alderman then ad ourned the case to Tuesday. The female prisoner appeared . to . be quite over- , powered, and wept and groaned during the examina tion. GUILDHALL. Henry Slanbridge, of 60, Princes-street, Kingsland road, was brought before Sir P. Laurie (who came on purpose to finish the case) for final e:;aniination, charged with obtaining, by fraudulent pretence3, two chairs, a cal pet, and other articles, of the value of 1001., the property of Messrs. Wilkinson and Cu., of Ludgate-hill, cabinet-makers, upholsterers, &c. The prisoner was remanded until this day, when, the depositions being made out, he will be conveyed to Netvgate._ _ _ yYilliarn Hands, of 59, Augustus-street, Regent's park, was brou 4 ht up for final examination be-fore Sir C. Marshall, in the custody of a metropolitan police-officer named Lockerhy, charged with stealing a horse, and also with obtaining a quantity of goods under false pretences. The prisoner declined saying anything, and Sir C. MARSHALL fully committed him for trial cn five charges. WORSHIP-STREET. Frederick Elliott, a machine printer, in the service of Mr. George Stiff, a printer and publisher in the S traud, was charged with robbing his employer to a considerable extent. He was fully committed to Newgate for trial. W ES7'm IN S7'E Richard Fidler. a police constable of the D division, and William Wheeler, a man in the employment of Mr:Francis, a timber -merchant at Paddington, were placed at the bar before Mr. Broderip, the former charged with stealing a cheque for 351., a Si. note, four sovereigns, and some silver, and the latter with feloniously receiving the cheque. The circumstances of the case are briefly these : On Thursday night last Mt. W. Watson, Of Putney, solicitor, was thrown from his horse in the West bourne Park-road, Bayswater, and having received some severe injuries, was conveyed to St. George's Hospital, his watch, money, and other valuables upon his person having for their safety been taken charge of by Mr. Collard, inspector of the Great Western Railway, who resides near the spot where the acci• dent happened. On the following day the prisoner Fidler, a police-constable on duty, who had been directed to repair to the gentleman's residence and communicate the circumstance of the accident, con trary to the directions of Mr. Wiggins, his inspector, went with James Jebb, the gentleman's groom, to Mr. Collard's, received the money and valuables, and after having drunk at various,. places, repaired to the White Horse Inn at Knightsbridge, where he handed the property over to the groom i n th e p resence of Mr. Fell, the landlord, having moreover previously refused to give it to Mr. Watson at the hospital, on the alleged ground of his not being in a competent condition to receive it. Shortly after the valuables had been turned over as described, Mr. Fell very kindly drawing a receipt out for them, a gentleman who was in the parlour went to Mr. Fell at the bar, and informed him that he had observed something on the part of Fidler towards the groom, th a t induc e d him to suspect something dishonest was going on. Mr. Fell went towards the parlour, but observed !w -elling to justify his interference, and the parties, who appeared to be on very good terms, then went out, mounted two horses which were standing at the door, and rode away. From this time the groom, owing to the effects of the liquor he had taken became insen sible, and remembered nothing that occurred until he got home, when he discovered the cheque, bank note, gold, and silver had disappeared. On the Monday following Mr. George Juhn Zellar, a gen. tleman holding a situation in a solicit or ' s o ffi ce , me t the prisoner Wheeler at Paddington, when the latter, ,who knew him, showed him the cheque and as k e d hi m what he had better do with it. Mr. Zeller remarked that it might be a forgery, upon which Wheeler re plied, he did not think it was, adding that it was not his, but belonged to a friend of his, a policeman, who found it after he had been taking a gentleman to St. George's Hospital, in consequence of his having been thrown from his horse and much injured. Mr. Zellar recommended him to endeavour to find out the gen tleman in whose name it was drawn, and Wheeler then left. It appeare d t h a t M r . Z3llar very properly instituted some inquiries, and having ascertained to whom the cheque belonged, communicated the cir cumstance to the owner and to the police, and upon Wheeler being told that he must accompany a police man to the station he said, without any mention of the cheque having been previously made, that he picked it up near the Clock-house, at Knightsbridge, where he saw it blowing about. At the station• house he admitted to Mr. Hannart, one of the inspectors of the D division, that he was on terms of intimacy with Fidler, who had, previously to joining the police, worked in the same yard as he did. Wheeler alleged he picked up the cheque at twelve o'clock on the Friday, when Fidler, who was present at the station, said it was between twelve and three. Fidler also declared that he parted with the groom near the Clock-house at Knightsbridge, and never had i any thing to drink with him afterwards ; but t was clearly shown by the evidence that he was seen, after he had left Mr. Fell, outside a public -house door in 'the Brompton road, where he handed the groom, who was observed to be extremely drunk at the time, a glass of gin. The account of the time at which the cheque was alleged to be picked up by Wheeler was at variance with the evidence of Mr. Fell, who proved that Fidler and the groom never left his house till half-past three o'clock. Fidler declined saying anything in defence, and it was alleged by a solicitor's clerk, on the part of Wheeler, that he had been 25 years in his present em ployment; had borne an excellent character, had no guilty knowledge whatever of this transaction, and had made no concealment of the cheque. The prisoners were remanded for a week. THAMES. Joseph iireernax, the landlord of the Watermen's Arms beer-shop, in London-street, Ratcliff, was brought before Mr. Ingham, charged with cutting the throat of a little boy named Silvey. Mary Silvey, a poor woman, who brought her boy into court in her arms, said that hearing screams of murder she ran into the street, and was mat by a young man crossing the street, who said the prisoner had cut her child's throat with a razor. She went into the prisoner's yard and found her boy with his neck bleeding, and took him to a doctor's shop, where the wound was sewn up. The boy, who was in a weak state from loss of blood, said he was eight years of age, and (having been examined as to the nature of an oath) that he was playing at marbles and went into the prisoner's yard, on which Mr. Freeman seized him, threw his head back, and drew a razor across his throat. Mr. INGHAM, having held the razor shut and open, asked the witness in which state it was at the time the prisoner cut his throat ? Witness--It was open. Was sure the blade was out of the handle. The boy was frequently dictated to by his mother while under examination, and he was transferred from her arms to a police - constoble's, but he did not vary in his statement. He sold there was a little boy and a girl in the yard when his throat was cut. The boy's neck was then uncovered, and the strapping on his neck displayed. The prisoner, who appeared in a good deal of alarm and anxiety about the affair, said, he was just on the point of shaving himself, and went into his yard with a soap dish and a closed raz.n.in his hand to obtain some water, and saw the child playing in the yard. He intended only to frighten him, and he said, "Go and play elsewhere. I'll put you in the water•butt and cut your head off;" and at the same time drew the closed razor across his throat. He let the boy go directly, and was driving him out of the yard, when, to his great horror and astonishment he found his neck bleeding, and said, " Good God, preserve me ! I have cut the child's throat." He hastened with him as quickly as possible to the doctor's, and did all in his power to stop the bleeding. He was extremely sorry for what had occurred, but he did not intend any mischief. The prisoner further declared that on the little boy reaching the station-house he said the razor was closed when his throat was cut, and called the policeman who took him into custody, and who con firmed his statement. Mr. INGHAM directed that the surgeon who at tended the boy, and any other witnesses who saw the occurrence, should be sent for; and adjourned the case. When the hearing was resumed, Thomas Si lvey, an elderly brother of the child, said he heard the prisoner say " I'll cut your throat," but he did not see the wound inflicted. Mr. Gill, a medical practitioner, said the wound was superficial, and only the 16th of an inch deep. In answer to questions by the magistrate, who held the razor in different positions open and shut, Mr. Gill said it was but, reasonable to conclude the razor was in the handle when the wound was inflicted, and that the prisoner, who held it firmly grasped in his hand, pressed the edge through the handle. He came to that conclusion from the slight nature of the wound. Had the razor been open the wound would have doubtlessly been a most serious one ; certainly it would have been deeper. Mr. INGHam said he should relieve the prisoner of the more serious charge of cutting and wounding, for he believed he did not intend to inflict any serious injury, but he must say the prisoner had acted in a most incautious and dangerous manner, and that death might have been the result of his foolish and reprehen sible act Fortunately, the wound was not dangerous, or he should have committed the prisoner for trial, As it was, he should fine him 31, and ia default com• mit him for six weeks. The prisoner said he had no objedtion to compen sate the mother of the boy, and called a witness namad Day, who said the razir was shut up when the boy's throat was cut, and that the prisoner was only in play. Mr. INGHAM finally agreed to remand the case for a week, and said if he heard that the prisoner had compensated the mother his sentence would be a very light one, but he would strongly caution him never to u_e a razor in such a way again. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.- The magistrates of the county of Middlespx assem bled at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell, on Thursday, fur the purpose of transacting the financial and other business of the county. Mr. P ovan all, the chairman of the bench, occupied the chair. There was a full attendance of justices. At the opening of the Court, Mr. POWNALL an nounced the presence of Von Orloff Bruik, who was seat on a special mission to this country by the King of Sweden, to inquire into the practice of the police court s and ses s i ons o f th e metropo li s , an d t h e d ut i es o f magistrates generally. TH E LICENSE TO SAVILLE HOUSE. Mr. CLAR . KSON begged th e a tt en ti on o f t h e B enc h for a few minutes, in ord er th a t h e m i g h t b r i ng b e f ore the magistrates a subject which he ventured to think was surrounded with great public importance. It would be in their recollection that, on Friday last, a person of the name of Richard Pridmore applied for a license for music and dancing for an establishment now denominated Saville house, hut known to the pub lic as the Walhalla, io Leicester-square, and that his Learned Friend Mr. Parry, who appeared in support of the application, volunteered to she Court a pled ge that, if the license were gra n t e d," the place called Saville-house should be used for musical and vocal entertainment only, and that dancing should be en tirely excluded, as in the case of Exeter-hall and the Princess's Concert Rooms. At the time that pledge was tendered, he (Mr. Clarkson), who appeared on behalf' of the proprietors or lessces of the principal theatres to oppose the grant of the license, doubted whether that pledge would be faithfully observed, and some of the magistrates had similar doub's ; but when the applicant entered the witness box, and upon his solemn oath swore that he would observe that pledge, the magistrates thought proper to grant him the license, the condition being as endorsed upon the brief of his friend Mr. B - Akin, who opposed the applica tion on the part of the rector and parish officers, that it was for the purposes of music only. Now he (Mr. Clarkson) held in his hand a bill which informed the public that on Saturday next, the 20th instant, it would be opened at half past seven for a musical and vocal entertainment; the ball to commence at half past eight. To bring himself properly before the Court, he should call a witness to prove that Pridmore had received notice of the intention of the parties who opposed the license to take the course he (Mr. Clarkson) was then pursuing ; that the advertisements had appeared in the public news papers, and that the handbills were distributed at the door of the premises ; and he should then submit that the Court had a direct control over the license, and could compel Pridmore to adhere to the conditions upon which it was granted. He had next to submit that, whilst the Court had granted the license for music only, the license itself had been issued both for music and dancing—that part which permits dancing not having been erased. He could cite instances to show that the Court had the power to call upon Pridmore for the production of the license, in order that it might be amended, and its terms made consistent with those upon which the Court granted it. He held in his hands a petition of the clergy and parish officers praying that the Court would insist upon its order being obeyed. Mr. POWNALL said that most undoubtedly the Court granted the license upon the understanding that the place was to be used for concerts, and not as a dancing saloon, and the applicant upon the solemn and awful responsibilities of an oath made a promise to that effect, stating that several emi nent vocal professors had applied to him for the use of the room for vocal purposes. But, at the same time, the license was granted in the terms of the Act of Parliament, which did not give them the power to grant a license for music only. The license was fur music and dancing, but if the applicant had so far forgotten Mimed as to break the solemnpledge he had given, he might depend upon it that next year when the application for the renewal was made he would not have the opportunity to break another pledge. He did not think the Court could now interfere. Mr. CLauxsox said Exeter-hall was licensed for music only, and, as a lawyer, lie would say that he considered the Court had the power to amend the license according to the order given when it was granted. He again begged to submit, that Pridmore be called upon to produce the license. Mr. G. C. H. LEWIS, the solicitor for the op posing petitioners, was then sworn. He deposed that he received some of the handbills produced from a man stationed at the door of Saville-house, and immediately afterwards he served Pridmore with a notice of the present proceeding. It was served personally at Saville-house. He produced a daily paper in which the advertisement alluded to appeared. The rector and the parish officers signed the petition now presented, on Wednesday, at his request. Mr. WlLics said he was not aware that when the license was granted there was any opposition on the part of the clergy or parish officers. Mr. CLARKSON was under the impression that they appeared either by counsel or petition. At any rate it was opposed by the inhabitants. Nearly all the magistrates being of opinion that the Court had no control over the license, nor would have until the next renewal day, and that it was granted in conformity with the terms of the Act of Parliament, Mr. CLARKSON thanked the Bench for having per mitted him to interrupt the business of the day, and withdrew. The Court then proceeded with the county business. Mr. MAUDE, the deputy clerk of the peace, then read the minutes of the two preceding courts ; and laid before the Court the various committee reports. The finance and general purpose committee re ported, that they had investigated the accounts, and upon the motion of Mr. Kempshead, the chairman, orders were made upon the county treasurer for the sum of 11,614/. 7s. 9d. The report of the committee upon the county trea surer's accounts was read, and upon their recommen dation, a rate of one halfpenny in the pound upon the county rental was made. The committee of visitors of the new lunatic asylum, at Colney Hatch, made a very favourable re port as to the progress of the works, and Mr. Rotch gave notice that, at the next county day, he should move for a grant of 5,0001., for the purchase of fur niture and fittings for the establshment. The Court then executed a mortgage on the county rates for the sum of 23,0001. (pursuant to resolution passed in July, 1848) for the new lunatic asylum. THE COUNTY PRISONS. The report of the Visiting Justices of the House of Correction at Cold Bath-fields state the number of prisoners now in that establishment to be 1,080, viz., 842 males and 238 females. In the infirmary for males there were four patients —not one in that for females; and the total number of prisoners re quiring the attention of the medical officer was thirty. The report proceeded to state that the Court would learn from the annual statement of the governor that the daily average number of prisoners has been 1,154 ; that at one time the number of prisoners exceeded 1,400, whilst, during the year, the number of pri soners was 10,042, or 785 more than the number in the preceding year, and that with an increased number of prisoners, the punishments have decreased. The value of the labour of the prisoners, both male and female, amounts for the year to 3,5541. 7s. 6J. ; and whilst such labour had lessened the expenditure of the county it had had a very beneficial effect upon the prisoners, whose health was not only promoted thereby, but had initiated them into industry and general usefulness. By the kind and philanthropic exertions of the chaplains, 132 prisoners, of both sexes, had been provided for after the expiration of their sentences—some being introduced into charit able institutions; some had been restored to, or had received the influence of, former employers ; some had been reconciled to their friends and relatives. 904 males and 283 females had received the benefit of In struction in the schools, and much good had resulted therefrom. The report was received and adopted. THE WESTMINSTER HOUSE OF CORRECTION. The report of the Visiting Justices of this prison stated the number of prisoners to be, males, 461 ; females, 180—total, 641. Of that number 93 were committed for vagrancy and 28 for want of sureties. The report stated that, in conformity with a recom mendation of the surgeon, the visiting justices, on the 15th September, directed that during the prevalence of cholera and the depressing state of the weather there should be a general relaxation of the confine ments and occupations of those prisoners whose sen tences were for long periods. The surgeon having on [PRICE SD. that day reported that since the exclusion of potato es from the dietary, many cases of scurvy had occurred; and having, without interdicting the use of rice alto gether, recommended that to each prisoner, whose term exceeded three months, half a pound of potatoes should be given at dinner, the visiting justices issued directions accordingly, and the surgeon stated that in consequence of the continuance of diarrhoea the cocoa caused sickness, and he directld that a less quantity orcocoa should be used, and double the quantity of milk added. On Sept. 29 the surgeon reported that there was a gradual subsidence of the sickness that had prevailed in the prison, and that during the fourteen preceding days there had not been one fresh case of cholera, and only 17 cases of diarrhoea, and during the last seven days the average of sick of all kinds had been below the usual rate. The justices, however, regret to state, that one fatal case of cholera has since occurred. During the existence of the epidemic, to prevent any delay in detecting prisoners suddenly seized, an additional " night watch " was established, the presence of a responsible officer was required in each of the infirmaries day and night, and the warders and day nurses were in constant attendance, taking the duty on alternate evenings and remaining in the prison the whole night, in addition to the ordinary night nurses. These extra services have since been discontinued on the recommendation of the surgeon, who has borne testimony to the readiness and promp titude with which the governor, matron, and the wardens and officers under the surgeon's directions acceded to his wishes, and to the great care and atten tion the officers gave to the patients under their charge. There had been 20 dt aths from cholera. By a juror —=He could not say whether it was the custom to cover a body that had died of cholera with sawdust. Mr. Kelson was then re•exarnined with respect to the post mortenz examination. Ile said that externally there was no mark of violence. There was a trivial mark on the top of the right hand. There were no morbid appearances, excepting in a portion of the liver, which exhibited a softening of the texture which he could only ascribe to decomposition. Of the cause of death he was perfectly satisfied, from the appearance of rice water fluid. He was quite satisfied that the lungs would not have presented the appear ance they did if the deceased had been suffocated. By the father—The transfusion, in his opinion, would not have removed any congestion of the lung if such had existed. Exatnination resumed—The lungs and the heart were hEalthy. The arteries contained blood of a pink colour, which was unusual in any disease. The bladder was empty, the gall bladder was full. No blood could be forced out of the spleen. The general result satisfied him deceased died from cholera, and from no other cathe. Arr. Blythe—lt the patient, in a state of suspended animation, had been left exposed on a board in a room with the window open, exposed to a sharp north east wind during two or three days, would it tend to de stroy the remains of life ? Witness—lt would, of course. But this assumes that animation was sus pended. A jurar--Did you ascertain what Dr. Green's prescription was, and did you approve of it ? I did not disapprove of it. Mr. W. Sheppard, a surgeon, who was present at the post mortem examination, corroborated Mr. Bel son s account of the appearances presented. He sail, that on opening the intestines, they found the usual rice water evacuations, an infallible test of cholera. The examination was carried far enough to satisfy witness that the deceased died from cholera. By the father—He was convinced that suffocation had nothing to do with the death of the deceased; this was determined by the- appearance of the lungs. Mr. Blythe here intimated that he did not wish any mere medical evidence to be called, but he had some very important witnesses to bring forward. The examination was being proceeded with when our re[ort left, the inquiry having then lasted nearly four hours. CORONERS' INQUESTS. AFFLICTINQ SUICIDE BY A LADY.—YeSteidaY forenoon, Mr. T. Wakley, M.P. for Finsbury, and Coroner for the western division of Middlesex, re sumed his duties for the first time since his alarming illness, about eight months ago. The first inquest held by Mr. Wakley was at the Guilford Arms, Guil ford str e et, R usse ll- square, on view of thebody of Miss Sarah Whittaker, aged 53 years, who destroyed herself by swallowing a large quantity of laudanum, under the following very afflicting circumstances. It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses, that the deceased's brother was a solicitor, and was for merly in a very extensive practice, and posaessd of considerable property. Some years since he be came unable to attend to his professional duties, through an aberration of intellect. His property and his sister's were soon expended, and the de ceased was compelled to seek her livelihood by becoming a daily teacher in a gentleman's family. Her brother gradually became worse, and he was even tually confined in a lunatic asylum. He remained thera bat a short time, and was liberated through the inter cession of the deceased, who displayed such strong devotion to her brother as to cause considerable sym pathy and respect in her behalf by a number of respectable individuals, who took a deep interest in her welfare. The deceased took her brother home and entirely provided for him, and attended upon hint as a mother would to her infant. Her brother wl:s considered a confirmed lunatic, and was constantly inflicting some violence upon her, but she would never allow any interference, and always kept hint from the sight of any person. About five weeks since he hired some furnished apartments for herself and brother, at No. 23, Bernard-street, Russell-square. She was in the habit of leaving home in the morn ing, and attending to her duties as a teacher, an :1 returning in the afternoon. Directly afterwards at loud uproar was heard in her apartments, as if her bro ther was ill-using her. On one occasion the landlord opened the room- door, and found the deceased struggling with her brother, who had the tongs in his hand, and was flourishing them over her head. The deceased never complained of her sufferings, ner (lid she ever appear reluctant to attend upon, her brother, although, at times, it was quite evident that she was suffering from great mental anxiety and bodily fatigue. During the last few days her brother hal become very outregeous, and would have, no doubt, killed her, if prompt assistance had not been rendered. On Tuesday night last, Sergeant Boidman, 13 E division, was called in by the landlord, for the purpose of preventing the deceased's brother from committing any further injury to her or to himself. The sergeant obtained the assistance of a police-constable, and he was strictly watched during the night. In conse quence of his violent behaviour, a certificate was pro cured for his admission into the infirmary, at St. Pancras workhouse. He was removed on the follow ing morning, and shortly afterwards the deceased was found lying upon the sofa in a state of stupor. The landlord acquainted Sergeant Boidman, who instantly sent ler Mr. T. Wakley (the son of the worthy coroner), surgeon, who quickly attended, but the deceased died in about an hour and a half afterwards. A search was made in the room, and four bottles which had contained lauda num were discovered in some drawers. Mr. T. Wakley said, when he was first called to the de• ceased .the room smelt strongly of laudanum, and from the appearance of the deceased he considered she was suffering from the effects of that poison. He applied the stomach-pump, but finding it unavailing he had recourse to the galvanic battery, which mate rially increased the respiration. It afterwards be came gradually weaker, and she died in about an b.ur afterwards from the effects of the poison. The Co roner said unfortunately poisons were sold too freely in this country, and he was of opinion that none ought to be sold unless in the presence of a witness. This case was a most afflicting one, and he had never heard of such devotion as that exhibited by the de ceased towards her insane brother. Mr. Wakley said on examining the body of the deceased he found it covered with bruises, and he had no doubt but tha unfortunate lady had been most severely ill-used by her brother. The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased destroyed herself by swallowing a quan. tity of laudanum, while in a state of unsound mind." DEATH OF A MOTHER AND CHILD.--Yesterday a very lengthened inquiry was held at the St. Martin's workhouse, before Mr. Bedford, the coroner, on the bodies of Ann Smith and her illegitimate offspring, a newly-born female child, whose deaths occurred under the following painful circumstances. It ap peared from the evidence of several witnesses that the deceased woman was in the service of Mr. Capper, coal- merchant, of 17, Salisbury-street, where she had been for the last seven months without it being dis covered that she was enciente, until Sunday evening, when she refused to sleep in the room she usually occupied, and retired between eleven and twelve o'clock. Shortly afterwards her screams attracted the attention of another servant, and it was found in a few minutes that she had given birth to the de ceased infant. Mr. Leonard, the surgeon, was called in promptly, but b o th m o th er an d child had then ex pired. The learned gentleman gave a very minute and highly scientific account of the appearances on the post nzortem examination, showing flat the death of the mother was occasioned by excessive hemor rhage, whilst the death of her infant (a remarkably fine seven months' child, and competent to live under favourable circumstances) was the result of asphyxia, and both cases attributable to a want of proper medical attendance.

THE LATE GALES.—In consequence of the bad weather lately experienced at sea, several of the foreign steamers have been very much delayed on the passage, and ha'e arrived hero considerably after their proper time. It being considered necessary, in some instances, in consequence of such delay having occurred, to dis charge the cargoes of the steamers immediately on their arrival, in order that they may be enabled to reload and take their departure with their mail bags and passers. g ers at the specified time , application was mad e to the proper authorities of the revenue for their permi ss i on to be granted for that purpose, which was conceded, in order that no unnecessary delay or inconvenience to the public OFbe experienced.

Braithwaite Poole, the goods manager of this company's Liverpool lines, proposes, in a report to the directors, extending the traffic in coals, and carrying them from Lancashire to London. He affirms that a long heavy traffic of this character, ran at slow speeds, even at mode rates, would produce more money for dividend than the traffic of express passenger trains. DOUSE OF DETENTION. The report from this prison stated that during the Sear ending at Michaelmas last there had been 6,518 prisoners, 1,853 of whom were admitted again on being further remanded, making the general total 8,371, or 190 over the preceding year. The report stated that "notwithstanding this increase, the visiting justices, who have never lost sight of the im portance of introducing all practicable economy in the management of this prison, are happy to be en abled to report that there has been a diminution in the expenditure of this year of 3,2391. 6s. 2d., the expenditure of the preceding year having been 9,5331. Is., whilst that of the year just completed, 1848 9, was 6,2931. 14i. 10 1. ; the diminution being occasioned principally in the outlay incidental to supplifis on opening the prison, which will not again he required. The net diminution may be taken at 6081." The daily average of prisoners was 109, the largest number at any one time was 192, and the number that day was 102, none of whom were in either of the infirmaries. The committee of visiting justices having been ap pointed, and some routine matters disposed of, the Court adjourned. THE SUPPOSED CASE OF CATALEPSY. BRISTOL, OCT. 19.—The adjourned inquest on the body of Mr. Byron Blythe, the particulars of whose most extraordinary case have already appeared in The Sun, was resumed this afternoon at the Albion Tavern, Princes-street, before the Coroner, Mr. J. B. Grindon. The utmost interest was manifested in the inquiry, and the jury-room was crowded, as well as the approaches to it. Mr. Blythe, the father of the deceased, was present, and paid great attention to the proceedings. The coroner having recapitulated the facts of the case as they have already appeared in our columns, observed that the usual signs of death were pretty well known, and though some of these signs were wanting it did not follow that death had not taken place. In particular the absence of coldness and rigidity frequently occurred. On Monday last he had had an opportunity of seeing an infant who had died the previous Saturday, and the body was then quite warm, but there could be no doubt death had taken place. The first witness called was Henry Strugnell, the landlord of the house where the deceased lodged. He had known the deceased since August twelvemonth. He was placed under the care of witness at that time as a lodger and boarder. The deceased was then about 17 years of age, and was with Mr. J. Ford, merchant, in King-street, in this city. He had been in good health until that day week, when he returned home, and complained of being unwell. He had only tea and bread and butter for breakfast, after which he went to his usual occupation. Between eleven and twelve a message was sent to witness that he was taken very ill. Witness hastened home, and found him lying on the sofa. He said that he had been very sick and had vomited. Witness went for medical assistance, and between twelve and half past twelve Mr. Kelson attended him, and continued to do so till his death, at half-past two the same night. Witness saw him five or six times during his illness. Between six and seven in the evening a nurse who had been hired attended him. Witness last saw him alive at half-past twelve. He thought his case hope less. At half-past two the nurse came to the door, and said deceased was gone or nearly gone. Witness first saw the body after death about nine o'clock, when he went up stairs with the undertaker's man. There was nothing particular about it to attract attention. Witness supposed that deceased had died from cholera, and had no reason to think that the nurse had neglected her duty in any manner. Joseph James Kelson, a surgeon, said that he had had some slight acquaintance with the deceased, having been consulted by him some time previously. On Friday last he saw him soon after twelve, lying on a sofa at hit lodgings. His appearance itnme diately convinced witness that he was suffering from cholera. He was suffering from cramp, and was then in the advanced stage of collapse. Witness ordered him antacids, absorbents, and opiates. His first pre scription was 36 grains of confection of opium, chalk mixture six ounces, two table-spoonfuls to be taken im mediately, and repeated every two or three hours. A scruple of carbonate of soda was afterwards given in a wine-glass of water. Witness also gave him a wine-glass of brandy, and was with him two hours at first, and again about six, when he understood Dr. Green had been sent for. He also saw Dr. Wallis coming down stairs, who said, " You had better go up and see him ; I will wait for you." Ile afterwards met Dr. Green on his return down stairs. The pa tient was in much the same state, not at all improved. Witness consulted with Dr. Wallis and Dr. Green, and they decided on the mode in which the patient should be treated. While witness was writing the prescription a person came down stairs and said deceased could not breathe. They went up, and thinking that he had spasm of the diaphragm, gave him half a wine glass more brandy. Prior to his being put to bed the bed was warmed, and flannel was put round his legs. At this time the extremities were not cold. They ordered a mustard poultice to be applied to his breast and abdomen, which with the brandy relieved him. It was agreed to give him one grain of muriate of morphine, fifteen grains of sugar of lead, and a little aromatic confection, to form a mass, to be divided into six pills, one to be given immediately and repeated every hour, with a small quantity of mutton broth or beef tea between the doses. They agreed to meet again at ten o'clock. They all did so, and found the patient free from suffering. He had no sickness, and the bowels had not been acted on since they had left. The pulse, too, which previously could not be felt, was then perceptible, and he had diffused warm perspiration, whereas in collapse the perspiration was generally cold. They left him about half-past ten o'clock, not thinking it necessary to remain longer. The treatment used was that which they all agreed in considering the proper one. [The witness here said he wished particularly to notice the marked and kind attention paid to the deceased by the mistress of the house.] Witness heard in the night that he was dead. He called the next day and saw the body with Dr. Green. On Sunday he saw him at nine o'clock, with Dr. Wallis and Dr. Green. They examined the body with care. There was more heat than he should have expected so many hours after death. There was not the usual dulness in the pupil of the eye. There was some rigidity, but not so much as usual. The face was more like a person asleep, the usual ghastliness death being absent. They determined on opening vein, but no more blood flowed than usua_lfromadead body. In consequence of the absence of some of the signs of death they determined to meet at 12 fend try some means to arrive at a more decisive result as to his death. They tried galvanism, electric shocks passed through the body , a nd injecting the veins with warm salt and water. Those methods failing, they were satisfied of his death. When they first saw the body on Saturday,it was in a coffin, dressed i n a s hi rt and stockings , and enveloped in sawdust. By the father—The depth of the sawdust on the chest was about a quarter of an inch or half an inch. That might prevent evaporation of heat, and might generate heat. Dr. Wallis, having been sworn, corroborated those portions of Mr. Kelson's evidence in which he was concerned, and added that at the time he had no doubt of the death, and that the heat was caused by the body having been put early in the coffin and covered with sawdust before it was cold. If it had been left open in the usual way it would have exhibited no un usual appearances. He was convinced death had taken place in the customary manner. There was not the slightest appearance of death from suffocation . In this case he should not have thought it necessary to try experiments, but that it had attained public notoriety and interest. Unquestionably the experi mints were tried to satisfy the public. 4 .,..., /, , , _,,....__ /
