TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 26, 1825. F. GEORGE'S- HOSPITAL. ADJOURNED INQUEST.—A very important in quiry took place yesterday, at the Triumphant Chariot public house, Pembroke-mews, Grosvenor-place, before Mr. lila :Is, the Coroner for Westminster, concerning the death of John Hammond, who died in Saint George's Hospital, and whose death was attributed partly to improper surgical treatment, and partly to neglect. The Jdry assembled early in the afternoon, and after hearing several witnesses, they adjourned the inquiry till 9 o'clock last night, for the purpose of hearing further evi dence. The deceased was ser v a nt to M r . B a il ey , o f Old Brent ford ; he was a fine healthy man, only 21 years of age. On the 15th June he was in the garden, and accidentally slipped down, and fell upon some rubbish, and the side of his right knee was cut with a broken glass bottle. He was taken to a surgeon, who recommended his removal to an Hospital. He was in stantly conveyed to St. George's Hospital, and thin the wound was dressed by Mr. Pitman, the house-am:fawn, .aaid a bandage was put round his knee.. It is supposed that some particles of broken glass were left in the wound. Mr. Pitman stated, that an artery was cut, and he took -it up previous to his putting on the bandage, and that he applied leeches to the knee ; but upon a strict examination by the Jury, he admitted that he had made a mistake, for no leeches were applied. By other evidence it appeared, that on Thursday the 16th of June, the day after the young man entered the Ilosuital, he complain ed of most excruciating pain in his knee, arising from inflam mation. The bandage was very tight, and the flesh on each side much swollen. Notwithstanding his complaint the bandage was not removed till the Sunday s fallowing, and then it was done at his very urgent request. The moment the bandage was removed, he stated that he experienced immediate relief. It was then found that though the ex ternal wound had closed and healed, matter hod former'. and burrowcd underneath ; a suppuration took place, and, in a short time, the discharge was so great as to reduce his system, and to make his case hopeless. It also appeared that there was a want af 'attention on the part of the nurses in the Hespital, excepting a night-nurse, who was very kind to the deceased; that his I,,ce was nut washed, nor his linen or bed clothes changed for the six weeks that he lay ill. It further appeared, that a short time before he died, an old man, a fellow patient,' had died in the next bed, and that as soon as the corpse was carried away, the young man was removed to the same bed, or placed between the same sheets, in which he also expired. One of the witnesses said that the deceased complained of want of food, that he had nothing to eat on one particular day. from nine o'clock in the morning till four o'clock in -the afternoon, and owing to his not being cleaned, he was- so offensive that the witness could not remain in the place. Mr. Jeffreys, surgeon, whose duty it was to attend the de ceased, said, he-saw the young man on the Thursday, the day after he entered the Hospital. His knee was then bandaged ; witness did not examine the wound ; he saw it was prop er ly banaaged ; he saw the knee on the Sunday following. Juror—The bandage was on the knee from the time the de ceased entered the Ilospital, on the Wednesday, till the Sunday following, and I ask you, if, in your opinion, that was not im proper treatment 7_ Pitman—No, that is my mode of treatment. Juror—That .may he your mode; but the question is, was that a proper mode of treatment ? Mr. Pitman—l say it was a proper mode of treatment, and the bandaging the leg did not produce the swelling and pain.— Several witnesses who had -visit:.(l the deceased hi the Hospital, were examined, and Mr. Jeffreys was examined by the Jury as follows: Juror—lt appears that the deceased complained of great pain on the day after the bandage was put round his knee, in your opinion ought not the bandage to have been taken off, and leeches, or a lotion, or a fomentation have been applied ? Witness—The wound caused the swelling, and not the bandage. Juror—l am of opinion that. owing to the surgeon's neglect ing this young man, and not taking off the bandage in proper time, the wound healed up, and produced that mischief which terminated in his death. Coroner—You must form your opinion from the evidence of the medical men. Did the bandaging the knee cause the death of the deceased ? Witness—lt did not, in any way, produce that event. Juror—Suppose there were bits of glass remaining_ in the wound, ought it not to have been kept open, and notbandaged up for four or five days and nights, without any one examining it ?—I am of opinion that when this unfortunate young man complained day after day of pain, which was caused by inflam mation, that some medical man belonging to the establishment ought to have given himself the trouble to have examined the wound. I think there was gross neglect manifested by the Sur geons of the Hospital. . Mr. Bailey, the master of the deceased, a gentleman of great , respectability, said that he was disgusted with the treatment that his servant and other patients received in the Hospital. He understood the regulations at other public hospitals, were very different. , . The Coroner observed that he had heard so before, and was sorry for it, because he knew the Directors of the Institution would not permit it if they were acquainted with it: Juror—Then such mismanagement and improper surgical treatment ought to be made public. Juror—l give my opinion that this young man died by gross neglect and improper surgical treatment. Coroner-1 do not think you would be justified in giving such an opinion; I do not think the law protects a Juror in giving an opinion of the kind—it may be a libel. Foreman—l have written on paper my verdict, and not withstanding what has been said, am of opinion the death of the young man was caused by improper treatment. Coroner—lf that be the opinion of the Jury, we ought to inquire if the improper treatment was. wilful, and therefore culpable; but you should deliberate before you decide on, such a verdict. Juror—l am of opinion we ought to have two impartial sur geons brought before us, and examined, touching the death of the deceased; I think that persons who are not c , nnected with St. George's Hospital will not state upon their oaths that he re• ceived proper treatment. Coroner—l do not think you could get surgeons to swear in contradiction to the evidence of the Hospital surgeons; they would not fly in the face of that Institution. Juror—l have no doubt theie are surgeons who would swear conscientiously, and I do not think that any surgeon who is not connected with the Hospital would swear that it was proper-- treatment to suffer a tight bandage to remain on a man's leg for -4 or 5 days arid 'nights, while an inflatrunation was going on, without examining the wound. The Coroner said, the surgeons had sworn that the treatment was propee, and the verdict ought not to be against evidenee.-- , , After some further discussion, the Jury returned the following verdict :—The deceased received a cut in the knee by an acci dent, and from the effects of improper surgical treatment and neglect, his death was produced. The vbrdict being returned, a Juror observed, that the cut was only two inches long, and that lie did not believe any ar tery was cut in the knee of the deceased, as had been stated by Mr. Pitman, the surgeon. Mr. .11ailev, the master of the deceased. was of the same opinion, and said that the wound should be examined by a person competent to speak to the question. Iu the cout-se, of last Aviog.4l - tnan lost his NIP on the Clyde, under very Melancholy circumstances. He dashed into the river without.taking off his cloths, for the purpose of saving his own.son, a lad of about VI years of age, who bud gone in to swim. He dived and sent up the yen - rig man, who was with great difficulty restored; but he lost his own life, as he never rose. lie has a wife and seven 'children. During the exhibition of the fireworks on Friday evening; at Vauxlialt-gardens, a part of thercombusti- Wes fell into an old walnut-tree standing -on the premise* of the Rev; •Francis Moore, the 'minister of Vauxhall-chapel, which, after smothering till twelve o'clock the next day, at length broke out into flames, and the tree, together with an adjoining fowl-house, pig-stye, and ionic paling; was destroyed. On Therpday se'nnight u-seriout accident hap pened to a youk lady, who formed one of the party of ladies and gcntleuten that were walking round the dock-yard, Sheer:. nest, and Viewing• the improvements. They . were going on board the Hawk, lying in the basin,. when. as one (~f the young. ladies, was walking on board, the vessel swung ; and t h e en d of the plank coming out of the port-hole, the was precipitated • into the water with the plank upon her. Before she could- be • extricated from her perilous situation, the workmen.were obliged to move some icaffolding and g rapple-for her with their hands. By the exertions of Mr. lieddell, the surgeon, the lady isn'oW doing well.

It appears by a communication front St. Petersburgh, of a copy i• ,. .subjoined, that this invention has been acted upon in that Capital with decided succes:. From the difficulty of obtaining stone at Petersburgh, the Ways have been con structed of timber; but whether formed of that material or of stone, it is obvious that a plane surface must diminish the friction of whecls. The principle in both is equally obvious and useful; but the durability of stone gives it a decided pre ference. in Naples, Milan, and other Cities of Italy, stone -ways have been adopted, and are found to answer the most sanguine ex pectations that had been formed of their utility. " PETERSBURG -11, JUNE 11. " In the principal streets in our Capital, wooden-ways are being laid down on both sides, on which the carriages run smooth, and without noise. Such ways are now making in the Newsky Perspietine, and will be continued to Zarskojeselo.— Such roads were laid down last summer from this city to Kam menoz Ostroff, and gave general satisfaction. The first ex. pence is paid by the Imperial treasury ; the future repairs will be defrayed by the householders." ( liy Order), THOS. PARKIN, Sec.

It cannot be expected that we should be able at one sitting, to discuss this question in all its bearings; at present, we chiefly propose to ourselves, clearing the question of prejudices, and correcting the tnis-statements which have gone abroad with regard to the fate of Cie Manchester and Liverpool Rail-road Bill. The history of this Bill, and the evidence upon which it was rejected, are intimately connected with all similar proposals, for although same of the matter in evidence is applicable to the Manchester and Liverpool Rail. road Bill only, such as the necessity for it and its practicability, yet tbere are other points touched upon in the evidence, equally applicable to all propositions for rail-roads, such as the relative advantages of canals and rail-ways in capability, speed, ex pence, &c. ; the good and the evil necessarily attending each, and the question respecting the rights of private property. All of these points shall successively occupy our attention from time to time; but we are desirous, before coming to there, to silence in some measure the outcry which has been raised by those interested in the rail-ways at the rejection of the Liverpool and Manchester Railroad Bill in the Parliamentary Committee. It has been industriously circu lated, that this result was a job. The land-owners have been accused of interfering with the public good, in order to serve their own private ends ; the New Tintes, and others among the London Journals, have been diligent in assuring their readers that this bill was cast out in the face of evidence that should have enured its success, and misrepresentations and falsehoods of the grossest nature have been actively circulated by persons either ignorant of the facts, or wilfully perverting them. Among other mis-statements, it has been repeatedly asserted, that the bill was lost by the most scanty majority—some have called the majority four, and others only one ; and it has been said besides, that this majority was composed of Members who had never attended the Committee. It is astonishing that any one should venture to make a statement which it is in the power of hundreds to refute ; anti yet, statements the most false will often go long unrefuted, and do incredible mischief before their fallity be detected. The majority which threw out the Man chester and Liverpool Rail-road Bill, was NINE, and it is parti cularly worthy of remark, that two of those who voted in this majoray had most strenuously supported the cause of the rail roads throughout all the early part of the proceedings ; but s as the case advanced, the evidence became so overwhelming on the other side of the question, that these, their most zealous advo cates, could support them no longer, and actually voted for throwing out the bill:—these were Mr. Calcraft, junior. anti Mr. Robert Gordon. With regard to Members vot ing who had been absent from the Committee and not heard the evidence,•we know indeed of one notable instance ; the champion of justice, Hr. Joseph Home, he, who only a night or two before, had been strenuously arguing against Members interested in private bills voting upon them, in order that justice might be secured, came down to this Committee, fur the first time., upon the day of its rejection, and brought two friends who had been equal strangers with himself, and au. THE THREE voted in favour of the bill, without having heard one syllable of the evidence, and without having been present more than three minutes. But we are anxious to do more than prove Mr. Hunie's in consistency ; we wish to convince the public that the Corn tnittee was fully warranted in throwing out the bill, from the evidence which was laid before it ; and there is no way of doing this unless by presenting to our readers a short analysis of the evidence. Had we been upon that Committee, we should have thought it necessary to have had many things distinctly proved to us, before giving our sanction to the measure ; we should have wished, in the first place, to have had it proved to us, that the existing means of conveyance were inadequate; and that no new or improved regulation in these could make them ade quate. Supposing these points to be determined in favour of the rail-way, we, should, in the second place, have required evidence that a rail-road was practicable in the direction laid down. We should have wished, in the third place, to have had it distinctly proved, that the rail-road being made, it would undoubtedly remove the difficulties complained of, and be attended with no other equal or greater inconveniences; and, in the last place, we should have required it to be made mani fect to us, that in passing the bill, we should be committing no act of injustice. Now, we have at present the whole evi dence lying before us, and upon a most attentive considera tion of it, we can say conscientiously, that no one of these requisite points appear to us to be proved ; but as• this is as yet only our opinion, we shall speak shortly to these differ ent points, making brief extracts from the evidenceas we go along. The first point, viz. the inadequacy of the existing modes of conveyance, shall occupy our attention this week, and it is ob vious that this is the moat important of all the points, because, unless the supporters of the bill have been able to prove,thef the canals are not equal to the demand upon them, they have made out no case for the rail-ways; the whole question hinges upon this in the first instance : if the , canals are equal to the work required, there is then no farther question, there can be no need of a rail-road. If on the other hand, the canals are not equal to the requirements, it is expedient to consider whether -a rail-road is practicable—tatd wether it is consonant with the principles of justice that it should be made. First, then, are the existing modes of conveyance inadequate to the demand uponthem? It is sufficiently curious, that in order to support our opi nions, weshall have otteasion to refer to much of the evidence adduced for the rail-roads ; and it is worthy of remark, that seven of the principal witnesses upon that aide of the question were in the employment of Subscribers to that rail-road which their evidence was intended to assist—not certainly on that sc. , count, the most impartial witnesses that could have been selected. GEORGE PARSONS is the first witnesi broupt to prove that the means of conveyance between Liverpool an 'Manchester are not adequate to the demand upon them. After stating that he' had-known instances in which there had -been difflcalty'ana :delay in the arrival of timber, he say s,— In the foregoing instances no application was made to any Canal, except the Duke's Canal and the Old Quay Company. and none at all to the New Quay Company, or the Irwell and Mersey Navigation, for I had only . leave to forward them by those Canals. Neither the grocers' Company- nor the New Quay Company, were applied to, and therefore I do not Imo* but that if I had applied to those Companies, a delivery might have taken place, agreeably to the early delivery wished for by the parties. In another instance, in which delay had taken place in for warding cotton, the same witness upon being pored, mys— • • No application was made to the Leeds arid Liverpool Canal to forward cotton, notwithstanding the difficulties before-Men tioned, because the instructions are to send-by the other convey ances; but no reason Cart be giver, why the Leeds and Liver pool Canal should not be as eligible as the misers. And a little farther on, after etaiing that be forwarda his cotton by the Irwell and Mersey communication, " 1 cammt speak," (says he,) " to other conveyances, or form any jailer: meat of the capability of the means of conveyance." No wonder this Gentleman should bee unable to do so,' and no wonder, that in the midst of his difficulties he made no'an plication to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, since it is giVen in evidence by himself, that ".he never knew. or heard of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, until he came to London."—There is something trulr.ludcrowt in a witness. coming ferward; to give evidence, that the reaps of conveyance between two places are not adequate to the dineind, and to be absolutely ignorant of the existence of one of the means. No farther comment upon this isentlettian's evidence is necessary. The nest witness is ..T.axics Chowrs s esd lie speaks very de eidedly•with - regard to the utter inadequacy of the means of conveyance at present existing: yet, in the instance he cites, w h e rein he bad found difficulties in the transmission of 10410 . bags Of cotton, he saps-- .In reference to the transaction of the 1,000 bags'of cotton-,'in that case, I did not apply to the Duke'of Bridgewater's Canal. I always strictly abide by my instructions. I do not conceive it. necessary to make representations to •• my correspondents upon • the subject of there• being other means of convey ances, as they are fully aware of the true state of' the case; but I have done it.- I do not know positively that the Duke's Canal would net PRICE SEVENPENCr. have taken that parcel, or assisted in taking apart of those 1,000 bags ; for I made no application - I have not very lately in the course of my btleineassent goods by the Duke of Bridgewater's conveyance ; buteicifven taw. I did not experience ninth difficulty and inconvenience. The third witness (still for the rail-rotid) is 111 r. WittoreleY, lle, after stating most positively that the present means orc3n. veyance are inadequate, and instancing among other caksatine in October, wherein difficulty and delay had been.exnerienced, says—" I cannot say if any of the cotton was forwarded by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in the month of October, 'atxr, whether I might not have forwarded the whole of the surplus is the menth of October by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal ;".. die same witness afterwards says— I hare said, that when I applied to have cotton shipped _by the ordinary means of conveyance, and offeted to pay the same rate, being fifteen shilinn, as the other canals, they cbjecteNl-to" take them, unle ss paid' es an advance of freight, but•l do ?id know the feet. .- • • It is a strange w a y o f g i v i ng ev id ence to d epose to important. eiremnstances, - and then to admit that the witness does net know the fact. But still more important piece of evidence is cliental from this witness, rear the conclusion of his examine-, Lion : he says, " I do not mean there is an insufficiency in lines of communication, tot there are not firsts enough," so that it! srems, in all the witness has been saying with regard to the in adequacy of the means of conveyance, he does not mean that there is the least necessity for opening new means of continua nication between: Liverpool and Manchester; but only, tat there are not a sufficient number of boats employed upon the . canal. When a witness for the rail-road gives intOrmetiuti like this, there is indeed no wonder that conscientious men like iller K. Gordon and Mr. Celcraft should begin to hesitate. It seems hardly necessary to have recourse to the evidence of witnesses for the canals, because the extracts which we have already given, throw discredit upon the evidence of the rail-roads. Tn.: witnesses have confessed their ignorance upon points essential for them to have known, and made adinissiona which render, their evidence altogether itngatary ; none oritie three were qualified to tell whether the existing means oe._ct3naeyance are adequate or not—because, they were either ignorant of theft' existence altogether, or had never ascertained their capabilities, and the last mentioned witness admits, that if new regulations were adopted on the canals, the difficulties which he says do exist, would then exist no longer. To accumulate conviction however, we shall shortly refer to the evidence of some of the witnesses, called on behalf of the canals. Mr. DircnEssox says— I never experienced any inconvenience from not receiving is much timber as I wanted, nor do I believe there ever was any inconvenience felt at Manchester in consequence of not receiving a sufficient supply of timber. Mr. EDMUND SMITH says, that 1200 tons a day might be loaded and discharged at the Duke of Bridgewater's Canal.— This is a most important fact, as It has been repeatedly given in evidence, that the daily transit of goods between Liverpool and Manchester does not exceed 1200 tons ; and there ure two other canals besides the Duke of Bridgewater's at the service cf the public. Surely after this, there is no occasion to go farther; yet we cannot resist the temptation of still adding a fiTtle to dill. accumulation of evidence. Mr. ASHTON MUItGE,;S says,— " I do not know that I could from my experience, point out any mode of conveyance, that upon the whole would be y.re ferable to that which now exists." " 1 know, that per week, the present modes of conveyance are adequate to the regular trade between the two towns Liverpool and Manchester." Mr. JOHN LEGLI says,—" I think the present tnoden conveyance are sufficient, and will be more so when a little ala-. ration is made, by putting on a few more flats." Mr. WALTER WATSON says,—" 1 Lave Already told you, we have as great a facility for carryil 4 g timber as we want. cannot see how it (a rail-road) could. 4arry timber at all. Where is the use of having additional conyeyance, when w& have sufE... cient already." Where indeed is the use of it ;we c,anriot here' - s better concluding sentence. It would be an insult to the un derstanding of our readers to recapitulate the evidence, or to give any explanation of the nature of it. Re that runs may read. In our next we shall proceed to consider the question is some of its other bearings." • COMBINATION LAWS.

Mr. DEALTA , / then said, he wished to address the Jury, because he had been enabled to acquire touch local infcfrma-. tion on the subject to which he would call their attention. It ' was a subject of vital importance to the town and neighboit:- hood of Bradford, and well deserving their most serious consi deration. He meant the differences at present unfortunately existing between the operatives and their masters, relative to the . rate of wages. It must be admitted that the mechanic's labcur was a com modity which he had a right to bring to the best market, and dispose of for the best price. To regulate'their interests in that respect, the operatives were at liberty to associate for the purpose of consultation, and to adopt such measures as might be thought beneficial; tie , (oo4- les*, they should be extreme cautions not to•exceed the litnits which the law has prescribed.. Any attempt to controul by threat or intimidation the conduct of .others who might think • proper to adopt acourse differeit from that of the general asso ciation would be illegal, and the Magistrate's would in that event have the laws put into immediate execution, and the,per n sons so offending b rought to punishment. Ile would. recom, mend it to the operatives anxiously to weigh the opitione those to whom they delegated the management of their affairs, and to consider whether the steps they have taken were really. conducive to their general Welfare, They should be aware that unreasiihable demands on their part might ultimately be pro ductiVe of ruin to themselves, If, by complying with those inands,. the profits of the masters sl - oeld be too much reduced, they might be induced to withdraw their capital, and employ. it in other and more lucrative branches of trade ; or should' they be compelled to raise the prices.of their goods, they .inf e he be unable to compete with the foreign merch::.nt ; in which the purchaser would be driven from the market, to the Utter . • ruin Of the trade. ,„ As to the masters, there Were several pcints to , would call their attention,' and he hoped that the spirit of cur - ciliation would induce them to remedy, as far allay in 'their power, the evils under which the Mechanics labcaired, a few which he was about to mention.' It was, hi understood, the custom 'for many of the masters tO pay their men's wages , in' public-houses 4 whisk led to drinking, and often 'p3 interhy t ei,- • =CC -Much mischief was also caused by the masted requumg: 'their men to prOcure the change necessary iri thi payment of • their wages, for which purpose they most liiiie'recoutse to tbe public-house, and consequently be tempted, if not necessitated to drink.
