"To Wakley, Esq., " W. MEW. .:- -- --,-...) - - "or the Coroner, Uxbridge. . . . , . " Uxbridge, September 14.' • .' . -, ; '-, i,,t! i t " (From the United Service Gazette of July 9, 1842.) "We think we, have said enough on the subject of Captain Rayner's (not his coadjutors') underhanded attempts to prejudice the character of Captain Brew. A mass of documents were forwarded to us some time ago, which fully satisfied us that the lait-men tioned gentleman, if imprudent in calling out Cap tain Rayner, had been extremely ill used. The reasons Captain Rayner assigns for declining to meet Captain Brew are far from satisfactory. If the veteran had acted in the manner he describes prior to the formation of the Uxbridge Volunteers, how came Captain Rayner to accept his services in training and organising the corps, and afterwards to join with his brother officers in the presentation to him of a splendid sword, as a testimonial of their approbation of his conduct ? We will notice DO further corres pondence connected with the above corps or its offi cers. What have we to do with the private - affairs of Captain Brew, or any one else, who may have taught them the art of soldiering? Nothing. We must request, therefore, that Captain Rayner will address us no more letters on the subject (at the bottom, in the deceased's handwriting). A most vindictive anonymous letter has also been directed to the War office, to the injury of Captain Brew, and known to have emanated from Uxbridge -common." Two other letters addressed to " Sir John Gibbon, Bart.," were also read to the j ury ; b ut as they re lated more pcularly to priv a t e matters between the deceased and his Colo ne l, we abstain from pub lishing them. Mr. Wakley then put it to the jury if in their opinion those letters betrayed any indications of the deceased labouring at the time he wrote them, which was within a few hours of his death, under insanity. The. Jury said they did, and they had agreed on returning. a verdict of temporary insanity., A Juror, however, said he did not consider that ver dict strong enoughto mark 'their opinion of the usage the deceased had received. He thought they ought to say, "Temporary Insanity, produced by the ill usage he had received." Several of the Jury appearing to coincide in that opinion, The CORONER said, that if that was their opinion the inquiry could not end there. They must then go further, and inquire fro m w h om th e d ecease d h a d re ceived the ill-usage, which would probably occupy them a week without any good resulting therefrom, as, if ill-usage was proved, it would be ill-usage of such a nature for which the parties could not be legally liable to a Coroner's Inquest. Ultimately the Jury signed a verdict of temporary insanity, with the exception of the Juryman who pro posed the addendum, and who positively refused to sign any verdict to which it was not attached. After the close of the inquiry, Sir John Gibbon informed a reporter that Captain Brew was wrong in supposing he was removed from the service, the letter of Sir Henry Hardinge, directed from the War office, advising him to retire, the Right Honourable Baronet offering, if he did so, to recommend to her Majesty that lie be placed on the retired allowance. It was also stated that an order had at the same time been sent from the War-office, for the, volunteer corps to send in their arms.

Morris, in Oldfield• road, Salford, died f rom the wounds inflicted on him by the hands in the en counter. This affray seems to have produced a con siderable degree of exasperation amongst the turn-out power-loom weavers and the Chartists, who plainly assert that the unfortunate victim was a mere passive spectator, and has met his death by unfair means ; in fact, nothing less than the conviction of his assailants of the crime of wilful murder will satisfy the turn outs. Subjoined is a report of the evidence as it was given before the Coroner this evening. In the town, however, there are indications that all is not over, and in consequence of certain reports which have reached the authorities, it is considered necessary again to have detachments of police and special constables in almost constant patrol through the streets. rnense AUDITORS.

Annual Division of Profits. F. FERGUSON CANIRDUX, Reeretary. Admission, Is, The first division of the 45th Regiment, under the command of Captain Cooper, embarked for Cork on IVednesday evening.

The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob- o rvations of the duration of human life, a re 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 rernai h i ba , tour-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the s ucceeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen cont ngeneies. i ,The first di v i s i on o f pro fit s t oo k p l ace on t h e 13 t h o f M ay , a 840 , when a reduction of 60 per cent was declared on the current annual p rem i ums o f a ll t h ose po li c i es ent i t l e d to parti cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841, when a similar reduction was again declared. The following tab'e will show the cperatien of the reduction Made by the Society Age A CLERGYMAN, for many years accustomed ..LX. to prepare a few PRIVATE PUPILS for their several stations in life, wishes to add another to the four or five now with him. The head-quarters of the depot, 67th Regiment, will arrive in Cork this clay from Youghal, for em barkation for Portsmouth. We give the following statement on the authority of the Limerick Chronicle :—" The colours of the 44th Regiment were preserved to the very last extremity, and until the battalion was reduced to twelve men, worn out and exhausted, after six days' constant fight with a vastly superior force, in the midst of front and snow. Lieutenant Souter was then made prisoner with the Queen's colour, but the man who had the regimental colours wrapped round his body surrendered the precious charge to the, ferocious enemy only with his life, for he was butchered on the spot. Ile was colour sergeant, and an Irishman. Ms name was Carey." Any letter addressed to the Rev. D. D., to the care of Mr. West, No. 1, St. James's-street, London, will reach him in the country. In the surrounding towns matters do not wear any better aspect, but rather the contrary, and you may not be surprised if next week should not again wit ness as extensive a suspension of labour in the manu facturing towns and villages of Lancashire, if not more so than that of the 9th of August. There is now an attempt being made to effect such a measure; and in order to do that, deputies have left this town for all parts of the county. Whether it will be suc cessful or riot, is at present of course only matter of conjecture. At Bolton, Blackburn, Hindley, and several other places, the notices given by the men that they will leave work unless the masters agree to give the prices of 1839, expires to-night, and in some in stances it would terminate last night. As it is the general determination of the matters not to give the advance required, there will probably be a turn-out of considerable numbers on Monday morning. In fact, already have a large body of hands refused to work at I3olton-le-Moors, and were this day idle. The circumstance of the death of the man in the infirma7 has caused the appearance of a large placard of an inflamatory tendency, emanating from the IVeavers' Committee, which has been very plentifully distributed throughout this town and Salford, headed " Starvation and death demands justice ;" and after alluding to , rliat the writer terms the " lying" state ments of the Manchester Guardian, calls on the weavers to stand firm together, and then alludes to the death of the party above•mentioned as follows : " Englishmen, Irishmen, and Scotchmen !—ls this a time to submit to the tyrants' grasp, when some of the blood-thirsty villains in the employ of Messrs. Morris have most brutally beat and killed poor Lyons ? It is high time that the authorities of Salford should take some steps to prevent the wholesale massacre which is carried on by these fellows."

So various are the plans now before the public for effecting As surance on Life, it may, at first sight, seem difficult to Make choice betw een them. As, however, all prudent offices than experience a considerably higher charge in the annual premium experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ i n the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following tiassifi cation may be made :- Ist. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from pre miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the Share or Stockholders. 2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions between Share and Stockholders and the assured. 3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the assured only. 'The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, was established in 1835, s.nd although no paid agents for town or country have at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver tising reioi ted to, yet its advantages have been so well appre ciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed :38,500i. In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af fairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five years' standing have been reduced Forty-two and a Half per cent.

Some months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the ,great tender ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and edematous, and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, I had no spasm that night. nor have I bad one since. The next morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am now rapidly recovering. i Having for many years had an ex tensive medical practice n the county of Stafford. I know of no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy. In adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-,uf ferers. Possessing as I ever did, the strongest prejudice against everything 11:1 the shape of quackery, I should be the last man to uphold a =ystem which, generally speaking, I know to be nothing but a n efarious traffic and humbug.

At the various coni,uitations held upon my case, the surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter. initiate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated. I have not had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the " first applicati on of this extraordinary embrocation. —T.

WILSON, ESQUIRE, BANKER, or YonK.—lt is with the most painful feel ings that we have to record the premature death of one of our most respectable citizens, which took place on Thursday morning last, under very distressing circum stances. Mr. Wilson was on a visit at the country house of his brother, Thomas Wilson. Esq., at Fulford, and o n the fa•al morning he took breakfast with his friends, and appeared as usual. After breakfast he went out, about eleven o'clo,tk. and, being a fine morn ing, walked down to a retirrd situation on the banks of the Ouse, with an intention to bathe. He threw his clothes off, laid them on the bank, placed his gold watch uponr the bank, and then incautiously plunged into the Ovate r. Unfortunately, the deceased had mistaken the place„ there being a shallow part of t he water near, to svlue n bathers often resorted, but the place he entered was of very great depth. He could not swim ; and it is s! iPPosed that ho met with a watery graw.,, almost km met liately. About, twelve his clothes were found lying on the bank and search was immediately made for the body. Itwas soon found ; and a Coroner's inquest was held the same even i ng , w h e n the casewas Si)so clear that the Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of F mind drown e d." V ar i ous rum ours (as usual) were soon afloat, but th e a b ove are th e facts ; and there is no doubt Ivhatever but that the dreadful event was purely . accidental.. Mr. Wilson was a gentleman of un assuming manners, and of a kind disposition. He "s highly respected in life, and his melancholy fate is deeply lamented by eve ry inhabitant of the city.— York Herald. INQUEST ON THE BODY OF A RIOTER. This afternoon, at five o'clock, a respectable Jury, consisting of gentlemen from the townships of Salford, Pendleton, and Broughton, was summoned by Mr. W. S. Rutter, Coroner for the Hundred of Salford, to inquire into the circumstances of the death of Joshua Lyons, who died from the effect of wounds inflicted on him at the mill of Messrs. Morris, in Oldfield-road, Salford, on Thursday morning last. The Jury, to the number of 18, assembled at the King's Head Inn, in Salford, and, having been sworn and briefly charged by the Coroner, proceeded to the Manchester Infir mary to view the body. After having done so, the following witnesses were examined : Mr. Edward Tomlinson, house -surgeon to the Infir mary, being sworn, said, the deceased, Joshua Lyons, was admitted into the Infirmary on Thursday last, the 15th inst., at three o'clock in the afternoon. He was then in a state of insensibility, and labouring under symptoms of compressure of the brain. Wit ness examined him, and tbund a scalp wound on the left side of the head, with protrusion and discoloura tion of the left eye-ball. lie remained in a state of insensibility up to the time of his death, which-oc vurred on the folio oving morning at ten o'clock. This day (Saturday) witness had made a post mortem exa mination of the body. On opening the head, he found a quantity of extravasated blood under the scalp, and also covering the left temple. There was also a f:•acture of the skull in that situation, and rup ture of the vessels internally, causing the infusion of a large quantity of blood into the skull. This was quite sufficient to account for death. There was more blood infused into the orbit, which had caused the protrusion of flit, eye- ball. The external injuries might have been caused by a blow from a bludgeon or a brickbat. Rachel Wroe was next called, and she said she lives at No. 22, Hulme-street, Oldfield-road, Salford. IViness did not know the deceased. On Thursday last her little boy was out in the crowd about Messrs. Morris's factory about half-past eight o'clock in the morning. On tearing a noise in the street witness ran to fetch him in. When she reached near the gate of Messrs. Morris's factory there was a large crowd about the gate. Three men went up to the deceased and knocked him down. They struck him with their sticks or bludgeons. They also struck him after he fell. The deceased then got up and ran across into a field thirty or forty yards off. None of the parties who struck him followed him into the field. They all three struck him at once. A woman, who is at the door, followed him into the field to take care of him. They struck the deceased once before he fell, and all of them struck him once after he fell. The deceased did not go to kick at the gates—he was standing at some distance very quiet. In answer to questions from several Jurors, the witness said the three persons appeared to strike him about the same part of the body. At the time they struck him he was doing nothing more than witness was then. He had nothing in his hand, and was standing quietly on a heap of cinders. Witness did not know any of the three men who attacked the de- ceased. Elizabeth Hughes stated that she was a widow, re siding near Messrs. Morris's factory. Witness heard the noise of the mob on the morning in question, and heard some children say the mob were coming. She went to the bottom of her yard, and saw the hands in Messrs. Morris's employ beating the mob. Soon after the deceased (Lyons) came round the corner of the factory, between the stable and an old boiler. He was followed by a man, who struck him with a piece of wood over the left ear. Witness believed they called the pieces of wood "picking sticks." When the deceased was down, the man was about to strike him again, when witness asked him how lie could for shame strike a man in that way ? on which he left him. 'Witness then took the deceased to her house. Ile was bleeding from a wound behind the ear, and the blood was running on his jacket. She gave him some water, and he washed himself; after which lie went into the yard, and was very sick. After that he fainted, and witness bathed his temples with vinegar. When witness first saw the deceased, he was walking towards a field, and appeared quite insensible. 'Witness only saw him struck once. The people called out that Wrigley had murdered him. The deceased had a cap on at the time. The CORONER here observed that the inquiry was likely to last a considerable time, and therefore, if the Jury wished, he would adjourn it. It was then agreed that the inquest should be ad journed till Wednesday next. A great mass of evidence is about to be brought Forward by the power-loom weavers, with a view of implicating the parties who attacked the deceased in the crime of wilful murder. On Monday nex (to -day), they intend to apply to the Magistrates for warrants for their apprehension. THE GOVERNMENT POLICE AND THE MANCHESTER MAGISTRATES. Captain Sleigh's name (the Assistant-Commis sioner of Police) having been brought into question in connexion with the conduct of the Manchester Justices during the disturbances of the last few days, that gentleman has addressed a letter, of which the following is a copy, to Sir Charles Shaw : " Sir,—My duty to the public, the importance of carrying out your order, and a consideration for my official character, urge upon me the necessity of being released from the serious responsibility of act ing in conjunction with, or following instructions emanating fro in, either an erroneous judgm en t or sug gested by biassed impressions. This request and these observations are founded on the following cir cumstances :—On the 13th inst., about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I received information that a concourse of people were assembling at Brown-street, in and around a Chartist meeting-house, and I immediately proceeded to that neighbourhood with a body of 100 police, and, finding the report correct, and that the as semblage that crowded the surrounding ground and streets were addressed by a man from the window of the Chartist meeting-house, who bade them stand fast, and finding they would not be removed without force, the police immediately dispersed them, and succeeded in arresting 45. The prisoners were accordingly es corted by two strong detachments of police ; however, on the line of march to the Town- hall, when they ar rived at Portland-street, I observed Mr. Walker, Ma gistrate, speaking to an inspector of police, who was on duty with the escort detachment, and on inquiring from that officer the reason why Mr. Walker ad dressed him, he answered that the Magistrate had same asked what the pri soners were taken f or; th e o ffi cer explained the nat ure o f t h e occurrence, w h en t h e Ma gistrate replied, What is th e use o f taking them prisoners, there is no case against them ?' Some tune after Magistra telockhad -ups, whereconveyed, accepted bail for t wo , an d suggested that ba i l shou ld be taken for others, and finally said that he would be absent from town and the Court-house to-morrow, therefore he would be out of that mess.' " On the following morning this circumstance was reported to me by a Superintendent, to whom it had been communicated by the officer on duty at the time at the lock-ups ; and during th 4 day he found, by the official returns, that 43 prisoners were all set at liberty by the stipendiary Magistrate on their own recog nizances in 20/. each to keep the peace for three months, and the remaining two were bound over in 40/. each, and 20/. from two sureties, to keep the peace for the same time, one of whom was foremost in throwing stones at the polic e , and the other in ex citing the mob. " I will not here comment on the above conduct or magisterial they are represented to you, till I explain the unac countable instructions and the facts by which they were preceded and followed. .- "At half-past ten o'clock on the morning of the 14th inst., information was brought to the Magis trates, and conveyed to me, that vast numbers of arti sans and weavers were assembling on the borders of this borough, beyond the township of Beswick, that they were armed with bludgeons, and that their in tentions at the time were unknown. "Further information confirmatory of this arrived shortly after; I therefore immediately concentrated 200 of the police in that quarter of the town, and awaited the order of the Magistrates. Further re ports up to one o'clock were continually received by the Magistrates and transmitted to me, to the eft'.2ct that numbers were coming from Ashton to unite with those who were meeting at the before -mentioned place. Notwithstanding the information of these threatening circumstances, I still remained without instructions from the Magistrates to proceed to the ground where the meeting was going on ; but fearing, however, some evil consequences, I ordered out 100 of the special constables, who were on reserve at the Town hall ' • and when in the act of doing so I was addressed by the Magistrate on duty, who told me he would first go to consult the stipendiary Magistrate (who was then at the Borough Court) about the special constables going out to the meeting. I informed him in reply that it was then one o'clock, and since eleven o'clock informations to the foregoing effect had ar rived, and were communicated to him ; he therefore had had three hours to consult or deliberate, and that I should forthwith proceed with the force to the ground ; I would do my duty to protect property and the public, he therefore might send his instruc tions after me. " On hrriving at the boundary of the borough, near Beswick, having on my way united with the 200 re serve police previously stationed near that quarter, I found that the reports to a very great extent had been correct ; but on the approach by two different roads of the force under my command, they moved off towards Ashton, many people having appeared on the roads, a.-.d crossing the country in considerable num bers ; I rode forward to Ashton, being anxious to satisfy myself, if possible, of their intention, leaving the police stationed within the limits of the borough. On my return to Beswick I found, much to my asto nishment, that the force which I left there to stop any body of people that might attempt to come in that way, and in order to protect the works of Mr. Chapel, which in the forenoon were threatened by the mob, had b een re d uce d by the unnecessary with. drawal of the special constables, at the direction of the Magistrates, although I had left .50 as a reserve at the Town-hall ; thus leaving exposed that part of the borough to the incursions of those who had been hold ing illegal meetings during the forenoon. " Although I feel the high i m portance attached to the moral influence Magistrates should possess, and consequently am sensible of the criminality of unjustly self animadvertin g on th e i r conducts Yetil conceive bound, whil e r ever ti ng t o that which I have already stated, to direct your attention to the following facts, which, when linked together, will leave you to draw such conclusions and t a k e suc h s t e ps as you conceive that justice and the public are entitled to. In the first place, on the night of the 12th of August I waited on the Mayor by your orders, to inform him the police were worn out, and that the town, therefore, was unprotected, and that I was to urge his Worship to request of the military chief to furnis h ni g ht pa trols, as it wasimpossible to say what might occur in the present excited st a t e . Ibi s W o rship regretted that I should have troubled him, and referred me to the stipendiary Magistrate whom he had deputed , and who was at the York Hotel; I accordingly hastened there, and saw the Magistrate, in the pre sence of the Assistant-Adjutant-General* To the former.l made the same communication as I had to the Mayor; his reply was, that he (lid Slot think anything would take place, and that there was no alternative but to leave the town as it then was. I replied that it was exceedingly dangerous in my opinion, more particularly as the hot Act had been read during the da y ; and th a t, a t a ll events, I should remain on the look out all night. "Again, on the following day, while movi n g to wards Granby-row Field, where it was reported that the rioters were re-assembli n w ith the police and special constables, accompaniedg, by Mr. Steward, a Alagistrate, I was ordered by you to hasten the force forward, in order to take up an advantageous position, which could not be attainable if the military, which was marching on the same point p a rallel to us, arrived at the fields before us. I accordingly gave the order, but on the in s t ant i t was coun termanded by the Magistrate, who obliged the body to come almost to a dead halt, although I explained the object and necessity of the order. result of this was, that the military force halted across and before at right angles to the civic force and became clubbed together, which so embarra sse d both, that had a mo derately determined resistance taken place, the confu sion arid the evil consequences might have been serious. " Furthermore, on the 7th inst. I was requested to attend at a meeting of the Mayor and Magistrates, in order to account for some falsely-stated inactivity the police on the preceding day, which the Guardian newspaper had represented, an on the faith of which the Mayor remonstrated with me on the mob which the re port alluded to not having been dispersed. Ireplied Iwas on the ground myself, and the statement was un founded. At the same time I requested definite in structions from the Mayor and s t i pen di ar y Magis trate; when I was told by both that her lajesty's proclamation of the 13th of August, and that of the 111avor:and Magistrates, were still in force, and would be (luring the continuance of present circumstances, by which alone I was to be guided, and that every meeting should be dispersed at all hazards, and if the assemblage' would not separate arrests were to be made, and that the law would enforced. On the faith of the sincerity of these instructions I acted on the evening of the 13th inst. in dispersing the meet ing in Brown-street, and arresting 45 prisoners, all of whom were liberated, as previously i ntimated, by the Magistrate who was resolved to be out of the mess on the 14th, I also acting on the salue, when three hours were allowed to pass wi thout thef Ma g i strates ordering the borough to be protected in re -occurrence and when at the expiration of fro that time I moved off on my own responsibility to afford that pr o tection, .and to disperse, according to t he proclaulation and my nstructions of the 7th inst., d egaj as"'". _ biages, was told by the Magistrate on dut y , h , Would consult before I was to take the special c onstables; and lastly, the withdrawal of that force,. witho u t my know ledge, at the Ashton road, while id:lnger still threaten ed that quarter of the to circumstances, united to the transactions of the night of the 12t1; and the day of the 13th of August,. the i nstruct i ons me to eby the Mayor and . Ala g la trates on the 7th instant, added to other anterior eor oc currences of a judicial nature, emanating fr om two of the before mentioned persons, which, although serious i n them selves, are, in some degrees irrelevant to the present, became imperative reasons in hopour: amid honesty why I should lay them before you for the _Public good as her Majesty's Chief Commissio ner of Police, and in order that in future I may held irresponsible len i by if you and her Majesty's Gover nn obliged to act in conjunction with or followt he instructions of those n dene." in whom I cannot repose co (Signed by Captain Sic ig h fi and eaddressed to Sir C.

MANCIIMER, SATITEDAY.—This morni ng, at an earlyo‘i,n n largotte cotton-millr considerable alarm was spread th rough the t consequence of Mes e ofitsbesirsng an nounced that the . Lockwood an d Thornton, situate at Blackfriars-street, S a lf ord, was in flames. The mill is situate on the borders of Salford, on the edge of the Irwell, which divides the towns of Manchester and WW I and in 4 densely. populated neighbourhood, where the streets are ex ceedingly confined and narrow, except the mai street, to which the factory fronted. Soon after the arrival of the engines an body of water was poured into the factory from a, six engines, but it was of no avail. It was after this experiment that the efforts of the police Were directed to the surrounding pro perty, and it is fortunate that nearly a dead calm prevailed, or the whole of Blackfriars-street would most certainly have been consumed. It was rumoured about that the factory had been set fire to by an in cendiary, but on the best inquiry that can be made at present it is ascertained with tolerable certainty that it was a pure accident, having originated in what is termed the blowing-room, and is supposed to have been caused by friction from one of the shafts. From the basement story there is a communication from room to room to the top of the factory, by means of a kind of basket or tub, which is hoisted up through trap-doors in each story. Through these places the flames immediately spread through the factory, and with such astonishing speed that the workpeople, who had only just begun labour, were compelled to make a precipitate retreat from the spot,.ipost of them with the loss of some portion of wearing apparel. Such was the rapidity with which the flames spread that in little more than two hours the whole edifice may be said to have become little better than smoking ruins, not a vestige of the property having been saved except the books of the con cern. For some time considerable alarm was ex periencel lest an explosion of the boilers should take place, they having been filled with water for the day, and it was apprended that should the fire heat them red hot, the quantity of steam which would in consequence be generated would cause a tremendous blow up, but either from the safety valves proving haw safe and efficacious they are, or from some other cause, the anticipated event did not happen. Nothing is now standing of the immense edifice but the ruins of a pOrtion of the walls. The damage is variously esti mated, but the most probable amount is about 13,000/. ha machinery and stock was insured at the amount of 9,0001., and it is said the building is also insured, but of this fact there is not sufficient authority for stating it to be correct. Several fire-offices are also mentioned as being losersr by the event, but such statements are not ascertained to be correct. The factory was at work, and has been for about a fort night past since the turn-out, with nearly the full number of hands, and during the fire it was pleasing to observe how anxiously and earnestly they afforded every assistance in their power. There has been no fresh attempt to renew the dii turbances in this town, and the situation of affairs with respect to the weavers remains the same. In Stockport and Stalybridge the mills are at work with few exceptions, but at Ashton-under-Line only one is working. At Bolton this day the spinners ceased work, the notices which they gave to the mas ters a fortnight ago having expired. Reports are rife that another general turn-out of power-loom weavers is to take place throughout the whole of the manufac turing districts next week, and that delegates from the union have this day been despatched to the dif ferent towns to effect the object. ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE, SATURDAY EVENING.—At length we are justified in announcing that there is decided prospect of a speedy termination of the out break. This town has all along been regarded as the nucleus of the agitation, and the vigorous steps taken by the authorities here within the last day or two pro mise to be attended with the best effects. We allude more particularly to the apprehension of a batch of six or seven of the most active ringleaders, under whose direction the whole of the riotous proceedings in this district have been concocted and carried into effect. At the head of these is Pilling, the leader of the Chartists of Ashton, who accompanied the mob in their circuit through the whole of the manufacturing districts in Lancashire and Yorkshire, urged them on in thei r mos t d esperate attac k s on the various works, and publicly boasted on several occa sions that he had been the instrument of throwing out of work at least two millions of hands. This daring and unprincipled fellow was, thanks to the intrepidity of Mr. Robert Newton, the chief-constable of this boteiii#ll, apprehended last night in the midst of a Chartist meeting, held in the Chartist Association Room, in Charlestown. Pilling was spealches when Mr. Newton en t ere d th e room, an d the mob'imme diately broke into the most savage yells and threats, crying " Knock him down," "Turn him back ;" but Mr. 1\ ewton was not to be deterred from the dis charge of his duty, and he succeeded, with the assist ance of a small force of special constables, in securing Pilling and five other well-known individuals. They were immediately lodged in the gaol, and though the town was in a very disturbed state in the evening, no outbreak took place. At eleven o'clock this day, the Magistrates sat in large room of the Town-hall, to investigate the charges against Richard Pilling, James Thorpe, Saml. Fean, George Taylor, William Wild, and James Nague. All of the prisoners are of mature age Taylor is apparently about 60 years of a g e. A great deal of evidence having been taken, The Rev. J. S. R. Evans, the chairman, addressed the priso ners , an d sa id t h ey must be satisfied that the case had received every requisite attention, and the conclusion which the Magistrates had come to, after giving'their most careful consideration to the evidence, MIS that the charge of conspiracy was distinctly proved against the whole of them. It was their duty to commit them all on that charge ; but two of them, Pilling and Nague, stood prominently forward, and the amount of bail required for their appe arance would be, in each case, themselves in 100/., and two sureties in 501. each ; in the other four cases, the principals in 501. each, and two studio in 2.5/. each, with 48 hours' notice:of bail. Pilling will take his trial in the county of Lancaster, the others in the county of Chester.—The prisoners were then removed, THE ARMY. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 17.—Captain Desbrisay's com pany, 3d battalion, and Major Durnford's company, 4th battalion, of Royal Artillery, were inspected in heavy marching order on the guard mounting parade, by Lieutenant-General Lord Bloomfield, G.C.B. and G.C.IL, and the baggage of these companies was put on board the Dee steam-vessel on Monday, the 12th inst., and the companies embarked on the following day at the Royal Arsenal, at half-past eight o'clock in the morning, for a passage to Gibraltar. On Tuesday last. the 13th inst., upwards of 50 non-commissioned officers and gunners and drivers passed a me di ca l b oar d p rev i ous to obtaining their discharges. Major Anderson's company, Ist battalion, will pro ceed to Chester early in the ensuing month to relieve Captain Dicken's company, 6th battalion. The latter company will return to head-quarters. On Thursday last 15 non-commissioned officers and men embarked on board a steam-vessel at the Royal Arsenal to complete the company and troop of Horse Artillery in the northern district. The practices at the mortar and howitzer battery, and in the marshes, have been carried on regularly during the . past week; and a l so b atta li on drills, under the superintendence o f C o l one l Turner, C.B. The battalions have been supplied with blank cartridges at those drills, and the manoeuvring was excellent. After her Maje s ty l e f t t h e d oc k yard to-day the Royal Marines, who had been on duty for so long a period, formed and marched before the Earl of Ilad dington, Sir W. Gage, Lord Bloomfield, Sir F. Col lier, and other su p er i or o ffi cers, i n or d er o f review, first in slow and after in quick march, and then left the establishment for their quarters. Lord Iladding , ton paid a high compliment to Colonel Parke on the appearance of his men. CHATHAM, SEPT. 17.—Yesterday afternoon the 2d battalion of the 12th Regiment of Poot marched into this garrison from Weedon Barracks, which place they left by railroad on Wednesday, the 14th instant. The battalion, which is newly raised, consists of 291 rank and file, 10 sergeants, and four drummers. The troops are under the command of Major Sir Robert Douglas, with Captain Percival, Captain Granet, Lieutenant Bishop, Lieutenant Marcom, Lieutenant- Adja,tan t Lawrence, Assistant-Surgeon Booth. The rear of the battalion was brought up by 32 prisoners handcieed, all charged with desertion. The batta lion will shortly embark for the Mauritius to join their heaeltquarters. This morning, a detachment of the 75th Regiment left this garrison for Tilbury Fort, with their band and drums. The band, which is new, having only been in existence one month, played merrily out of the town. The detachment is under the command of jor llalifax, with Captain Jardine, Lieutenant 13Fowne, Lieutenant I3rummell, Lieutenant Gordon, Lieutenant Hill, Ensign Knox, Ensign Matge, and Assist-Surgeo n Anderson. There are two other de tachments of this Regiment, one stationed at Har wich, and the other at Sheerness. The head•quarters are now at the Cape of Good Hope. A detachment of the East India Company's troops, consisting of 120 men, left I3rompton barracks on their march to Gravesend this morning, where thcv embarked at the Custom•houce quay, on board the On Saturday an inquest was hell by Mr. Thomas Wakley on the body of Captain William Brew (for merly of the Queen's Bays), Captain and Adjutant of the It_oyal West Middlesex Militia, and Adjutant of the Uxbridge Volunteer Infantry Corps. The following witnesses were examined : Timothy Carter, Sergeant in the Royal West Mid dlesex Militia, knew the deceased. Lived with him for the last seventeen years. He resided at Hilling don End, Uxbridge. Saw him last alive on Wednes day, at his own house. lie then appeared in good health. He was in the dining-room. Noticed no thing particular in his conduct or manner. On Thursday afternoon, about three o'clock, f oun d hi m at his own h ouse in bed, quite dead. Noticed nothing particular in the room at the time. Saw on the table a parcel addressed to " Lieutenant Charles Brew." Deceased was lying in bed as if asleep. Immediately fetched Mr. Stilwell, a surgeon, and sent a messenger off to London for Mr. Charles Brew, deceased's son. Mr. Stilwell instantly attended, but could do nothing for the deceased, the body being quite cold. By the CORONER—Knew the deceased well during the seventeen years I lived with him, and had of late observed that he laboured under a deal of worry of mind, in consequence of the conspiracy against him. CORONER—Don't talk of a conspiracy unless you can prove its existence. Did you observe of late any alteration in his manner and mind, showing that he fancied there was a conspiracy against him ? Witness—l did. He appeared rather low of late. Never heard him threaten that he would destroy him self. No one lived in the house but deceased and me. Mr. James Stilwell, surgeon—Had known the de ceased about ten or twelve years, and had be en i n th e habit of me e ti ng hi m repeatedly. I last saw him alive on Tuesday evening. He then appeared to be low spirited, and oppressed in mind. 1 understood he was in some difficulties, and asked him how mat ters were going on. Ile said he was afraid matters would be very serious with him. His manner did not appear to me different than usual. On Thursday afternoon was.sent for to the deceased's residence, and on reaching it, found the deceased lying in bed, ap parently perfectly qu iet an d t ranqu il. He was lying perfectly straight in the bed, with his arms folded over his chest. Noticed no lividity, although the colour of the skin indicated that death had taken place. The hands were also cold and stiff. Made a post mortem examination of the body about forty-eight hours after death. Found the body to be in a rapid state of de composition. On that (Friday) morning had found a bottle marked " laudanum" between the bed and the mattress. It was still about two-thirds filled with laudanum. Collo:see—Are you aware of any papers having been left by the deceased, tending to prove that he had Wien poison? Mr. Stilwell—Yes, I have seen some letters which were enclosed in an envelope, amongst Lich is one addressed to you, Sir, as Coro ner . Th ey are now in th e p ossess i on of Mr. Charles Brew. I attended deceased about six months ago, when he had nearly destroyed himself by opium pills. Ile then told me he had made the pills up himself from opium. CORONE R —D o y ou thi n k f rom w h a t you know, and from all that you have seen of the deceased, that he was insane I.' Mr. Stilwell—l never saw anything insane in him, but he was certainly very excited; the excitement not arising from insanity, but from natural causes. Ile complained of persons wham he said had ill-used him. CORONER—Do you know of your own knowledge that such a persecution existed, or did it exist only in his fancy ? Mr. Stilwell—l believe the deceased had very good grounds for stating what he did to me. Deceased was still retaining his command in the militia. Richard Williamson, a Sergeant-Major in the Royal West Middlesex Militia, had known deceased about thirty-two years. For the last six months I did not think he was in his right state of mind, from his behaviour to persons with whom he mixed. I be lieved he had a cause for doing so, in consequence ofa quarrel he had had with some persons in the town ; and whenever their names were mentioned he became a complete madman. The Coeosat—That is a strong impression of in sanity, certainly. Mr. Charles Brew deposed—i am Lieutenant in the Royal West Middlesex Militia, and am the youngest son of the deceased! I reside in London, and was made acquainted with his death about ten minutes past fix o'clock on the evening of Thursday last. I came down to Uxbridge almost immediately, having first read some documents in deceased's bawl writing, which were handed to me by my nephew, Mr. William Brew. Amongst those documents was one addressed " To Wakley, Esq., or the Coro ner, Uxbridge." The witness here handed a letter to the Coroner, who immediately handed it to a person present, and requested him to read it aloud to the Jury, which he did. Just as he had commenced, The CORONER inquired whether the letter con tained accusations against individuals not present, and being answered in the affirmative, said the room must then be cleared of all persons not on the Jury. All persons were then excluded, and kept out for nearly an hour. The letter read by the Foreman of the Jury was as follows : Per w " Sir,—lt is under the severest depression of mind i . n_e d i:! I take leave to submit the enclosed to your perusal, n'a n nbl that the cause may be known which has led to my . ! i a , s e t melancholy and unfortunate fate. The fact, Sir, is, Coven that for the last two years I have been the victim of t i er the most crue l con spiracy, who have unce as i ng ly re- ; i ,„„,',1 sorted to every possible unjust means to effect my tin ruin, and have at last succeeded. The names of my enemies who have formed the conspiracy are . Oh, how I ever had to regret allowing myself' to be drawn into an aequaintanee and intercourse with that family !—people, I de clare before my God, I never injured either by word or thought ; and yet they have shared in what has led to my unfortunate fate. With respect to the anonymous letter to the W a r-office : Mr. knows that Mr. -- suggested and urged him to allow him (Mr. --) to write to his brother, Mr. , who is a clerk in the War-office, respect ing a small account I owed to the estate of Mr. ' 3 father, but from the respect, he said, for me, he would not be led into such a transaction. It ap pears, however, that Mr. -- did so without hi s sanction. I have, therefore, reasonable grounds for enclosed teglolsaerd accusing the of conjointly being the auth ors o f the said letter, which was couched in l and th t e h m e o in 6 colours, and has led to my printed extract from the United Service Gazette, will also show the part the other gentlemen of the con spiracy have taken against me. " I have, Sir, served my country 50 years, with unremitted zeal and honour, and been an Adjutant 43 y ears; and yet, from the unm er i te d and unavoidable causes statea in the enclosed letters, which have led to m y being the loser of about 6021., and thereby occasioned a deficit in my public been removed from the eervice without the accoun ts , p; have nit e r of affording a full explanation to the IVaer- iooffi e. r • Being thus suddenly thrown upon the wid e ld without resources, and my mind being wid e s and sensitive to bear me up against so cruel and un merited a reverse, 1 have been driven to this last fatal act to end my miseries, humbly hoping, through the merits of my blessed Saviour, I shall meet with th e forgiveness of Almighty God, who is ever more gra ciously inclined to snow mercy to man than his fel low-man.
