The Courier deities diet the suggestion which it threw out relative to the arming with mortal weapon& the new police at night was a feeler, and then, as " gentle dulness over loves a juke," pro ceeds to perpetrate a very bud one, by saying we can feel for men who are exposed to miduight assas sination by ruffians whose bud passion have been touted by the exciting language (we do not say in tentionally so) of a portion of the Press in their be half, and against those who are employed to check them ; and then an allusion is made to the " poor fellow who was murdered." It is difficult to say whether all this is more ridiculous or malignant. We are told one day that the policeman in question met 'Ms death by :doing his duty in watching 0 gang of burglars, end that several housebreskitigimplements were found near the spot ; the next day, we are assured, on the very same authority, that the moo sins were instigated to commit the atrocious crime by the journalists who object to the new pollee system as a dengerous novelty in the Constitution. We were not aware that burglars were in the habit of reading newspeper discussions upon Comititu tionel points, or that political motives were a stronger inducement to thorn to commit such a crime than a love of plunder. However, we cannot say to what felted) the a much of ietellect,' may have gone among that class et arlista, who nightly illustrate, in all the streets of London, under our present ex pensive system o f " protection," the mechanic properties of crowbars and centrebits, and who murder, not to secure their spoil, but to revenge the injuries inflicted on the Consti tution I We wonder that, among the burglars' tools, no incendiary newspaper was found.— The police should have looked more sharply—it . dangerous paragreph is worse than a phosphorus. box and dark4untern.

The affairs of Spain, we apprehend, are drawing to a crisis : we have concealed the pro cess, but hope to have it in our power to announce, not a glorious or splendid, but an happy and useful It is said that the Duke of Wellington was saga eiousenough to foresee the tendency which the change of the elective franchise for counties in Ireland had to destroy the power possessed by the great proprietors over the returns, and did his best to in duct! the aristocratic promoters of that measure to give it up. They must now bitterly repent their obstinacy, for almost rverywhere throughout Ireland k they appear to have been worsteor to have been obliged, as in the case of the I3eresfords at Water ford, to enter into compromises little less mortifying than defeat itself. To mention all the counties in which contests have taken place, would belittle else than to enumerate the shires into which Ireland is divided ; but there has not been, perhaps, any struggle better entitled to engage the sympathies of all who desire to witness the downfal of aristo. erotic monopoly, than that now carrying on in the comity . of Down. The constituency of that county includes a considerable proportion of Church of England men and Presbyterians, chiefly small States men, the indeptnilent exercise of whose franchise was overborne previous to the :diaranchisement of the forty-shilling freeholders by hordes. of voters, belonging to the most abject class of the Roman Catholic population, and entirely subservient to the two great families of Downshire and Londonderry, but chiefly to the former. No sooner was a pros pect nfforded, by the disqualification of those wretched hinds, of vindicating the independence of the county, than the respectable class of the yeo manry, uniting with the snore spirited country gen tlemen, began to concert measures for throwing off the dominion of the two Lords, who have shared be tweep them the representation of Down in many Parliaments.. The individual in whose persqn the • independent party resolved to fight their battle, is Colonel Ford, a gentleman who is advantageously known as one of the earliest proselytes to tho concession of the Catholic claims, and although by no means a systematic opponent of •Ministers, universally considered a man of upright intentions and independent in principle as well as fortune. He now stands second on the poll, one of the lordlings being little above,• and the ether considerably below The. struggle, .therefore, promises well.—: Meantime it is nut a little amusing to notice the streights to which, in their-difficulty, the two Aris tocratics are reduced. Of course they cordially unite' against the man of the people. The differ epees between the two august houses of Hill and Stewart—once little • less important, in their own puny apprehensions, than the rivalries of hostile na.- tiens • —are forgotten in the hoUr of common danger. At such a moment the distinction between Whig and Tory vanishes; nothing is thought of but the interests of the " Order," as Lord Grey called it; and the haughty Whig shelters himself with infinite • satisfaction under the wing of. the Tory Brother Whom he once contemned. But, .above all, it is pleasant to find these Noblemen invoking the assist. snee of the Priests, without whose spiritual co-ope ration it is found bard, in these times, to move the Catholic voters. Nothing is now heard of the dan gerous nature of the interference - of the Catholic Clergy ; but it is truly said misfortune Makes men aegnanitetl with strange bedfellows; and we must nor, therefore, wonder to find Lord Downshire im portuning the Catholic Bishop of Dromore. We trust,. however, that his Lordship will meet with that - disappointment which he ought ; and that Mr. O'Connell's declaration that the Priests were potent only in a good cause, but impotent agaitist the people, may prove true. Of the r►ets and confusion prevailing at this election, not without suspicions of being fomented for interes►ed purposes, we hear much ; and against the conduct of the Sheriff, Mr. Whyte, a human Catholic, great dispatisfaction has been expressed.—Merning Chronicle. ADJOURNED INQUEST UPON MISS CATHERINE' CASIIIN. Yesterday, at twelve &clinic, pursuant to adjourn.. merit from Saturday, the Jury empaneelled to inquire into the cause of the death of Miss Cathet ineCashin re-assembled at the Gate-house in the Hampstead. road. Before that hoor had arrived, upwards of a dozen carriages of private gentlemen drew up in the road near the house, end one house next to the Gate- house, which, we were informed, was taken fur the I purpose, was tilled with respectably-dressed women, many of whom were stated to be witnesses on behalf of Mr. Long. A great number of gentlemen were. surrounding the door of thedrublic.hou.e long before the inquiry commenced, an amongst thorn were Sir Francis Burdett, Colonel Campbell, Mr. Prender.; gust, and others, and a great many surgeons anti me. dical students. The Coroner did not arrive until one o'clock, and on his entering the room appointed for holding , the inquest, the rush of persons anxious to obtain admission ,was almost overpowering, and it required the utmost etrengtivA of the beadles to prevent the room from being.taken by storm. Mr. Adolphus attended as counsel for Mr. Long, assisted by the solicitor who attended on Saturday, and Mr. Warder. Mr. Wakley, the editor o f t h e Lanexl, as before, appeared as. the representative of the family of the owed lady. Mr. Adolphus, us soon as the names of the jurors had been called over and answered to, addressed the Coroner, stating that he bad the honour of appearing before him on behalf of a gentleman named Long, whose conduct as a medical practitioner watt, he un derstood, called in question in the present inquiry, and he was requested to mention to the Coroner and Jury, than Sir F. Burdett, who had come there to atuto what he knew of the conduct and character of Mr, Long in his professional occupation, the Hon. .Baronet himself having had an opportunity of judging for himself ih that respect, was desirous of being examined immediately, as he had important avoca tions to attend to elsewhere. The Coroner said there could be no possible ob. jection to accommodate the lion. B arone t, and de sired he relight he called Sir F. Burdett then took his feet ttt, the Coroner's taido, and watt sworn. Mr. Adolphus--4 believe, Sir Francis Burdett, you have had some means of making yourse lf rio ., quainted with some portion of Mr. Gong's mode of practice ? Sir F, Burdett- - -1 have been admitted to Mr. Long's lemsc, and have fkOlti him practice qt. ve,nl , 106 p i o,tti , A, ki ' 2l I' ft , t , 6 ! to CFCgErr' "' • • da t , , , Amy.

But perhaps I hid better state what passed. I went to Mr. Long in consequence of hearing that he had cured two persons of lie douloureux, with a view to see whether any relief could be afforded to the Marquis of Anglesea, anti, from what I saw, was so convinced there was no danger in his mode of treatment, that having the gout in my hand, I desired Mr. Long to try what effect it might have upon me, more, however, for the purpose of having on opportunity of reporting to Lord Anglesea that there was ►►o danger in the operation, than the hope that it would do any good for the gout. I did report to Lord Anglesea the result of my observation, and I believe he would have had recourse to Mr. Long, if he had not got better just at that time. So satisfied ss as I from what I saw, and from what I heard from persons attending Mr. Long for advice, of the beneficial effects of his prac ►ice, that one or two other individuals put them selves• under his care at my recommendation. The CORONER— You know nothing, Sir Francis, I presume, as to the treatment udmimatered to Miss Cashin ? Sir F. Burdett.—No. _ Mr. Wakley rose and said ) that he again attended at the most pressing request of the family of the de ceased, and he wished to Imo* if he was again to have the ,permission of the Coroner to inn such ques tions to the witnesses as were calculated to promote the great object of the inquiry—namely, the eliciting the truth ?—The Coroner said be should make no objection. Mr. Wnkley—Pray, Sir Francis Burdett, what operation was the Marquis of Anglesea to undergo ? Sir P. Burdett—l only know that he was to have an out ward. application by friction. I know nothing of the ingredients of which the preparation thar was to be used was composed. I know he operated on others who were labouring under the name complaint, and they told the they had received benefit. Mr. Wakley—Do you know, of your own know ledge, of any one who has been cured by Mr. Long? Sir F. Burdett—No, Ido not. Lord Sligo told me he had been cured of the gout by Mr. Long, and I dare say ho was for the time, but how long it would last I don't know. Mr. Wakley—Did you receive any benefit from the application? Sir F. Burdeit—None whatever. Mr. Wukley--When► did you first see Mr. Long ? Sir F. Burdett—About two months ago, I think; but I am not sure. Mr. Wokley—Was there any injunction imposed upon you as to secrecy ? Sir F. Burdett—None, that I recollect. Mr. Wakley—Did you not sign a book ? Sir F. Burdett--I believe I signed something, but lam sure Ido not now recollect what it was. I believe, however, there was something said about keeping it secret. Mr. Wakley—Can you judge of the ingredients of the preparation from what you saw of its applica tion? Str F. Burdett—No, I „cannot. I do not know what effect it produced, except that it made the skin look red and angry, as is generally the case where frictio►► is used. I saw no appearance of mortification. I saw the process of inhaling per formed, butt do not know the qualities of the gas inhaled. Mr. Wokley—thve you ever mode medicine your study ? Sir F. Burdett—Oh dear, no. Mr. Wokley—Should you be able to distingvish a glass of water from a glass of prussic acid by the appearance ? Sir F. Burdett---I don't think I should. Mr. Wakley wished this answer to be taken down. Mr. Adolphus could not see what earthly bearing the answer could have upon the subject of inquiry. Mr. Wakley—The Hon. Baronet is called in be half of Mr. Long; and if his testimony is worth anything, its value must be estimated by his capa bility of judging of such matters as are now under investigation ; and I think it important that the ad mission the llon. Baronet has just made should be recorded. The answer was not entered, and the Hon. Bert. withdrew. At this period the teat and crowd in the room had become Intolerable, and after some discumaion the Jury adjourned to a large and commodious room, built close by for the meetings of the Com missioners of Sewers and Pavements. Dr. Alexander Thomson was next sworn—He stated that he lived at No, 10, George-streets Enstowsquare. lie had examined the body of the person reported to have been called Miss Catherine Cashin. He bad examined the external parts of the body wholly, but his examination of the internal parts had been ►confined to the abdomen and thorax. He wished and was about to open the head, when he was informed that it was objected to by the family. lie was informed that the mother was lying ►gyp stairs in a dreadful state of mental affliction, and that she gave a decided negative to the proposal to proceed with the examination of the head and spine, and of course he was obliged to desist. Mr. Wild goose, a surgeon, who appeared to conduct the examination of the body on behalf of Mir. Long, and witness, bad taken notes of the result of their exa mination, and they had jointly drawn np a report, which, with the permission of the Jury, he would read for their information. Dr. Thomson then read a very elaborate and ccm. prebensive report of the appearances of the body upon the post martens examination ; but as the technical minutia could not be interesting to the general reader, it is only, perhaps, necessary to, state the opinions formed by Dr. Thomson on the appear ances described. The CORONER asked the witness, at the conclu sion of reading the report, whether the result of his examination was that he could tell the precise cause of the death of the young lady. Dr. Thomson said he could not, because belied not had an opportunity of examining the head and spine. Possibly there might have been an affection in the spine, or some disease sufficient to have caused death. He would have examined the brain and spine, but he . had no direct authority from the Coroner, and the family made u decided objection. Mr. Adolphus asked the witness if he discovered externally any appearanceswhich would warrant him in saying that Miss Cashin came by her death in consequence of injury inflicted by any external ap plication ? Dr. Thomson—Ha could not say that the external appearances indicated positively the cause of death. It would ho necessary to examine the head and spine in order to form en accurate judgment. Mr. Wakley said, he believed the orders were from the Coroner and Jury not to examine the head and spine. Mr. Long's solicitor—Yes ' because sh e never eornelained of any affection of those part s , and there fore it was unnecessary, and it was made a condition with the family that the examination should be con fined to the abdomen and thorax Mr. %lacy put some questions to Dr.ThOtrieon) to which Mr. Adolphus objected, and the former gentleman took occasion to state, that it was with even painful reluctance that he attended, and in doing so he only yielded to the earnest so li c i tat i ons of Miss Cashin's family. A Juror— Was there any appearances internally to indicate a diseased the spine ? Dr. Thomson — Certainly not. Juror—Did you consider her to have been a con sumptive person ? Dr. 'Thomson—.D ec id e ,ll y not . jurne—"Was there not What i s ca ll e d a slough or sloughing in the beck ? Dr. Th omson - - I am sorry you have put your question in that way, because it places me in a very delicate situation. There was no sloughing. By sloughing we MOM* the coming away of a dead part. Juror—Was there nothing of that kind in the back?—Dr. Thomson--I should say, certainly nut. The appearances in the abdomen 41111 thorax were the same precisely as I discovered hi examining the !ugly of a young lady who died some time ago at Chelsea, from taking colchicum in too large a roan. tit). It. is hy no means an uncommon practice now withAo junior branches of the pr o f er , s i oo t o pro duce what is called counter.irritation, by applying stimulants In one part in order to relieve another.— This is found beneficial in certain systems. I again repeat, however, that from what I have seen of the young lady, I cannot found any decided opinion without examining the brain and spine. I have seen death occasioned with less inflammation and general disorganisation of the stomach than appeared in this instance, always excepting the appearances in the back, for on no occasion have I seen a hack in such a state. The inflammation, therefore, I say, in the stomach was sufficient to have caused death, and if I had found no other appearances than those in the back, I should say that the state of that part was also sufficient of . itself to have produeed death. Mr. Adolphus—Taking all appearances and all circumstances into consideration, would you say that death was occasioned by the wound in the back ? Dr. Thomson—Taking my means of information from the examination I was enabled .to make, I should say ; but I should, I once more repeat, have been able to state a decided opinion if I had been allowed to examine the spine and brain. A Jurorlf you had seen the deceased 10 days ago, perfectly well, would you have caused, by arty application, such a state of the back ?—Dr. Thom son—No, unless I wished to kill my patient. Such a thing was never dune by any medical man that I know of. Juror—Supposing the young lady to have a sister who was consumptive, and that she herself, although in good health, waa afraid of being similarly afflicted, and applied to you, would you have produced such a sore ?—Dr. Thomson—Gel tainly not. I would never introduce such a sore for the purpose of pro (hieing counter-irritation. Mr. Witkley—lf you had proceeded to the exami nation of the brain and spine, and found no disease there, what would you Oen have thought the' cause of death ?—Dr. Thomson—The disease in the baCk. The Coroner said the only way would he to have the spine and brain extttnitird now, if the Jury thought fit. Dr. Thomson, in continuation, said he never : saw such a sore as that in the deceaSed's back, although he had known red hot irons to be applied to the skin to produce counter-irritation. He wished very much to pursue the examination of the body. The witness here produced a strip of the skin which he had taken from the deceased's back, and which was handed round to the Jury, and inspected by the numerous medical men present, Dr. Thomson observing that any medical gentlemen would perceive that there was no slough m it, nor was there any disorganization. The Coroner here observed again, that the only way would be, to have the examination of the body completed, and it was a great pity that any one in terfered to prevent its completion. At the request of Dr. Thompson, the prescription of Mr. Brodie, prepared by Mr. Foulkes, was pro duced and read. Mr. Foulkes stated, that the preparation was in tended to allay, and nut to irritate. He made up no other prescription._ The Coroner asked if any one could give further information us to what medicine the deceased had taken, and was answered in the negative. A Juror observed, that it was in evidence that Mr. Long never gave his patients " doctors' stuff." At the suggestion of several of the Jury, the evi dence of Mrs. Itoddis given on Saturday was read over, and at its conclusion— Dr. Thomson rose, and with much earnestness said, " After hearing the evidence which has just been read, I do hope, Sir, and I feel myself 'called on, for the honour of the profes , ion, and by my feel ings as a man, to I ternatid that you will allow t►te to pursue my examination of the billy."—(A buzz of approbation run round the room.) • The Coroner—Then we must adjourn again, as Inn. derstand the young lady has been buried in Moorfields. After a lengthened totiversailon of no interest, it was arranged that the body should be again examined by Dr. 1 homson, asSisted by two other medical gentlemen, and that the inquest should be adjourned till 'Wednesday next.—Adjourned accordingly. Mr. Long was in the neighbourhood o f th e h ouse during the investigation, but he did not enter the inqueid-room. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LA MBETILSTItEET. George Roblin and liam Jones, two well known body-snatchers, were yesterday pla:ed at the bar, before Messrs. WALKRIt and WVATT, charged with having attempted to steal the body of a female, Dinned Brown, from the burial-ground at the rear of the Rev. Mr. Read's chapel, in Cannon street-road, St. George's in the East. A. policeman of the K. division, No, .59, stated, that on the preceding, night, between eleien and twelve o'clock, while on duty in Cannon-street road, he heard a 'singular sort of noise come from the burial-ground behind the chapel of the Rev. Mr. Reid. Suspecting that some improper charac ter had got in there he went for assistance, and, on he and two oth er o ffi cers enter i ng t h e burial-ground, they observed the prisoners run, and get over a small fence into a timber yard adjoining, where they secured them. On subsequently examining the place horn where they ran, they found the grave of a female who had been interred on the day before lartly opened. They also found a :tuck,. shovel, a ong iron screw for opening the coffins, and other implements, such as are used by resurrection-men. The prisoners when called on, declined saying any thing in de fence; but one of them, Robins, hoped their Worships would be us lenient to him as they could, en account of his having a wife and six children solely dependent on his exertions for their support. Brawn, the husband of the deceased female, here remarked, that the circumstance of the prisoner Robins having a wife and family should have in duced him to have some respect for the technics of others, tie had, he said, expended nearly his last shilling in the decent interment of his wife, whose grave the prisoner had sought to despoil. The Magistrates, after some further consultation, committed the prisoners for three months each to the House of Correction, for being found in an en dined building at an unseasonable hour of the night, without being able to give a satisfactory ac count,of themselves. John Nolan, a sawyer, was charged with being drunk in the streets on the preceding morning. " Well," said the Magistrate, " what have you got to say for yourself?"—" Why, your worship," replied No " I'unfortunutely, have got a trouble some wife. On Sunday morning she began to jaw me, so, in order to get out of her way . ! went out, and I acknowledge that the thought of her annoyance made me take adrop extra." Magistrate—Well, you are now discharged; but I would advi.e you for the future to resort to some other means of getting rid of the annoyance than getting drunk, and rolling about the public streets. WORSIIIP.STREET. John tiandlon and William Denny, two men of forbidding appearance, bring dirty in their attire, and of a rufliatelike aspect, were yesterday brought before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. HitouGHToN, on a charge of assault and robbery. Mary Thomas ' an interesting-looki ng woman, sta ted that she sol d milk, and was the wife of a rot -1 and that sh e res id e d i n Hel tmieer thent. .ro, near i n fib S r t aar . il Lile's church; that on Sunday ino rnititslie rose very early, for the purpose of pro moijay to her tandlord, living at some distance, to pay him his rent. When on the road she met a ne ighbour, who invited her into a public-house, where in a few minutes after the prisoners entered, and culled for a quartets) of gin, and invited her to drink with them. The prisoner Denny said, " Why, you are n Cork woman. My wife is deed, and for the gratitude of your people I- will, if you will come hoMe.with me, give yet) a Leghorn bonnet." she consulted with her friend, who advised her to accept :or the . preseht, On entering the room of the house where the prisoners reside, in Play house-yard, * Whitecross-streer, she said, " Where is the bonnet t" 'upon which; &Indian committed the violence of Which . - she complained. The prosecutrix here was convulsed with tears, and I it was with difficulty the worthy Magistrate could elicit from her the facts of the case.— Having in some degree recovered herself, she pro ceeded to state that seeing a shoemaker's knife on the floor, she attempted to seize it, in orch r to pro tect herself from violence, but was unable, in conse quence of the superior strength of the prisoner, who, seizing hold of a hammer, struck her several blows, but which, in consequence of her clothes, did not injure her. At that time she peiceived, through the keyhole, the prisoner Denny outside holding the door, who, on hearing her scream out repeatedly " Murder 1" entered the room, and, laughing at the conduct-of his companion, said, " Let us see what she has got in her pockets," and forcing his hand in, took out half-a-crown.—(The half-crown was here handed to the Magistrate by Inspec:or Rogers, who found it on the prisoner, and which was sworn to by the prosecutrix). e (Denny) afterwards also assaulted her. Having gained her liberty, she ran nut of the house without her shawl or bonnet, to the public-house, where she 'had left her friend, to in form her of what had occurred. Her bonnet and Shawl were afterwards thrown out of the window to her. A very respectable-looking young man, who at tends the bar of the Crown public-howw, deposed to the prosecutrix entering the house and meeting with the prisoners, who, in his hearing, promised her a bonnet, and that, in a quarter of an hour she re turned in the state described, without bonnet or shawl, and her person disordered. It was then about six o'clock. She stated that she had been very ill used, and requested the assistance of a constable. Police constable G, 203, stated that at the time mentioned he ,was passing by the house of the pri soners and heard screams of murder," when one of the prisoners, who he took to be the landlord, looked out of the window, and was laughing. He (witness) told him he was acting very impropeily in allowing such a disturbasice in his h ouse . I n a few Moments after lie met a private constable, who re. quested him to proceed with him to the house. James M'Donald, the constable, deposed to the prosecutrix, in an agitated state of mind, applying to him for his assistance, stating the nature of the assault and robbery, when he instantly. repaired to the spot, and took with him the policeman he met on the :road, and secured the prisoners, who, on hearing the charge againn them, began laughing. Inspector Rogers stated that when the prisoners were brought to the station-house they appeared to be drunk. The prosecutrix was perfectly sober. The prisoners denied the charge against them,and called a witness living in the same house, who stared that she heard no screams of " murder" at the time mentioned. Mr. BROUGHTON said he believed the oflicer, umi, after commenting upon the atrocity of th e case against them, told the prisoners that he should send them for trial upon the two capital charges, but to be brought up again for re-examination on Saturday next.

His account is, that when he came home to his tea, at four o'clock in the after noon, he found the deceasedat home alone. She had made a good fire, and the tea was ready. He knew that Norris and his wife were going to Camberwell fair, and when he came home, he inquired of the deceased if they had gone ? She replied they had. What further passed, Witham, although most strongly pressed, declined stating, merely replying that nothing further passed, although he admits that he remaieed at home half an hour. Some of the neighbours state that they are confident the outer door was not open after half-past four (the time Witham left home), and that they did not see the deceased about after that period. Witham dr nit.s most positively that he had in any way formed any connection with any other female. His marriage with the deceased was, he said, performed in the most private manner, and both pledged themaelts' to keep it secret. The son of the deceased ass in the habit of sleeping with her. This was not re' Mated by Witham ; but he says that occasionally, when the boy was absent, he bad slept in the name bed with her. The deceased, .be said, .had drown him a will she had made. She made no mentiee it of the amount of property she possessed. She had read it to him, and said at the time that she wished her property to be divided among her rela tions. He knew, he says, that the will ass of no effect, on account of her marriage; but it was not hi* intention, as the husband, to resist the wish of the deceased, and demand all she was possessed of. h H e e t e it t i n t e h n e e e Ivimostl be u , positivee ly uds t ,tomanner,rl o w t h e a l he ie innocent ; but seems greatly alarmed a t the fear that an p u t o per fectly innocent."
