that six -hundred brigands are the right arm of this civil commotion. Three hundred of the street mob are already In custody. I still see nothing alarming if the throne is surrounded by a Government of decision and promptitude, and there alone appears to me the danger. For instance, last night the regiments of the line bi- Youacking in the court of the Palais Royal, and squatted like Canadian Indiana around their watch fires, were chanting the Parisian and ltlarselloise hymns, just under the windows of the King, while holding a council. if Marshal Soult were in the Palaee, one would ask him, is this military discipline? The people were of course out side the rails joining in full chorus with these military songsters. All the shops are now shut in the Palais Royal. People are everywhere congregating, and so are the National -Guards. At night fall again, people apprehend a serious conti nuance of this disorder. The King has shown himself at the balcony, and in the court of the Palais Royal. He was well received; but the nioli still continue vociferous. Various deputations of students and young soldiers have been with the King this day to'testify their allegiance.

Summonses have been issued for a Privy Council to be held this afternoon. The Arch• ,bishops of CANTERBURY and YORK have been summoned to attend, but, we believe, both the Right Reverend Prelates had previously left town. All the Cabinet Ministers are expected to be present. In the Houle of Commons, last night, Mr. :'PEACEVAL gave notice that shortly alter the re he Would move. an humble address to his ''4l4tJiliTY, praying tha t bo*ould graciously, r ''''pleased to appoint a day - for a Genetal,Thust. This notice excited much surprise and merri %,.ment in the House ; and well indeed it mi g ht I A General Fast What an unaccountable an nouncement ! Why, the universal complaint is, that the fast is much too general already. The • labourers in almost every quarter of England hare been fasting for the last six months. The `manufacturers have been keeping a partial Lent season for nearly the same period ; and the primary ;• Ambition of both parties is to be enabled, hence- forth, by .the humane and seasonable interposi tion of the Legislature, to discontinue such fast. 4 . • As a sample of cant, Mr. PERCEVALPS notice 'puts forth strong claims to perfection; as a sample of good sense it is deserving only of ridicule. Both Houses of Parliament have adjourned fill the 3d of February. The sentence of' the Ex-Miniatera has been at .length delivered, and they are condemned to ! perpetual imprisonment in France, with forfeiture Of Aide, rank, and fortune. For the sake of 'humanity we are glad that the lives of these t!intora have been spared—though even yet, -,,judging from the present convulsed state of Patin, h AM ) t en. safety is somewhat doubtful—but, for the sake of justice we might, perhaps, re , pet that mercy has been extended to `them Had they, instead of the people, been • , ittecessful in their endeavours to re-esta blish despotism, the issue would have been far different. No petitions for mercy on the Part of their victims would then have been Iftionded to. The dungeons would have been crammed with prisoners; the seaf- . wottlil have reeked with blood. We • hope that this act of unparalleled for bearance • bench nation towards their tyrants, when the latter lay unarmed and prostrate at their fate, will work a salutary change in the opinions of the few remaining advocates of despotism throughout Europe. We hope that they will never cease to remember, that the first example of moderation was set by the oppressed towards the oppressors, not by the oppressors towards Abe oppressed. Since writing the above, we have received accounts from Paris up to nine o'clock on Wed nesday evening, being four hours later than those "ceive4 by the express, which state that the capital was gradually becoming more tranquil and the people hourly more reconciled to ' •thc sentence passed on the Ex-Ministers, German Papers have been received ; their ° minus, though interesting, especially as re- Rude Warsaw, are of no particular moment. The following are extracts : ?kelt 1115 Pol4sll ranwrtraa, Die. 11.—The whole hingdom of %demi is in a oldest insurrection. In Wa rsaw 41"4 , 4" "gaaised, which send their emissaries to all tie provateee, awl very probably la t h em pass the ; frontiers. At present we have no news whatever of she Lithuanian army or front the frontier of Russia. Nye are evin entertain respecting the fill of Prins Constantino ail the faithful troops with hint (intimated at 8,000 nun) as the Vistula was full of ice, and the passage over it very difficult. The surrender of the fortress of Modlin would be next to inconceivable, unless we must assume that there too all was lost. All the private accounts fron► Warsaw agree that in the nights from Nov. 29 to Dec. 1, Warsaw itself was a prey to alt the excesses of a licentious populace, eager for revenge and plunder, who, coining from Praga, spread through a'l the streets, attacked the houses and magazines con nected with the Russian Government, and exceeded in cruelty and thirst of blood even wh►t has been reported to us fron► Brussels. Os the other band there is but one voice respecting the heroic and energetic conduct of the Commander-in-Chief, Chlopieki, who with imminent personal danger, opposed the dreadful anarchy, and saved the lives of many General and civil officers of rank, who were devoted to death, and are now in confinement. On the news of the safety of the Bank and the continuation of the payments, the paper currency again circulates, and as the interest of the bonds is paid, their credit is also secured. The equipment and arming of the people is indeed left to their ipatriotism, as it is called. Immense stores (for 100,000 men, it is said) were found in the arsenal. The newCouneil of administration, the numbers of which have been since changed, and the whole population, as far as their sentiments appear, show the greatest respect to every thing belonging to Prussia. Proposals, which were here and there heard, to revolu tionise the Grand Duchy of Posen, met with no attention. When M. Julius Schmidt, the Prussian Consul at War saw, returned to the city after a personal interview with the Cuoarewitsch, he was received with testimonies of respect. People are looking with the utmost anxiety for news from St. Petersburg'', to which city two bold and prudent men, Prince Lubecki and M. Gutowski, ate to go as Deputies to claim the fulfilment of the assurances given by the Emperor Alexander to the Pole* - at the be ginning of the first Diet in his first manif, etc. Valor", Dec. 11.—Count Maison, the new French Ambassador, is arrived. Count Joseph Metternich, bro ther of the Chancellor, died yesterday, after a long and painful illness. Dee. 12.—N0 Exchange ; Bank 'Shares, 1,002. AiUNlCiii Dn. 14.—The Government Journal of yes terday contains a proclamation of his Majesty the King of Bavaria, ordering that the elections of Deputies to the Estates shall immediately commence, and to terminate in four weeks, and the result laid before his Alajeaty by the Itith January next. " It is our free will," says the proclamation, " that our authorities shall refrain from any limitation: of the free doni of voting, and from any exertion of the Magisterial influence over the editors, and at the same time check the illegal insinuations of third persons by a vigilant and ener getic execution of the laws. Iu administering the oath to the electors, they are to be duly reminded by the Commis saries of the duty enjoined in the oath, of giving their votes entirely according to their own conviction, and exclusively with respect to the general good of the country, without any external influence." His Majesty treats that his faithful subjects will give their votes Only to men known fur their integi ity, patri otism, and abilities. The Journal (le la Belgique states that by an error of the press it announced that the whole of the project of law relative to the Senate had been " rejected," whereas it should have been " adopted," by a majority of 112 to 66. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH. ELSTORE V. FLOWERS. • Mr. Jam , / WILLIAMS stated that this was an action brought by the plaintiff, landlord of the Duke of Clarence public-house, Leather-lane, to receive compensation in damages for slanderous words spoken of him by the de fendant, who is a clerk to a coach-builder in the neigh bourhood. The words used by the defendant, of wltich the plaintiff complained, and as set forth in the declaration, were, " You arc a thief, a swindling thief, and 1 C3ll prove you so." The Learned Counsel stated that the ob ject of the plaintiff in bringing the present action was not for the purpose of putting costs into his pocket, but to vindicate his character from the fool stain cast upon it by the defendant. . . A witness was then examined, who stated that he was in the coffee-room of the plaintiff's house on the 22d of February, hi staid very late ; about two o'clock in the morning triplets heard the . plaintiff charge the defendant him with giving a bad hili-crown ;hi also heard hint call the plaintiffs thief, a swindling thief; and aided, that he was able to prove his words. On the witness being cross examined by Sir James Scarlett, he stated that they were playing at cards at the time the words were uttered, and that previously the defendant had joked the plaintiff, and wanted him to "stand a treat" on account of the bad half-crown. Lord Tx:cram:flew here stopped the cue, his Lord ship observed, that he did not think the words were spoken under such 'circumstances as would induce, any person to suppose that the plaintiff meant to chrge the defendant with a felony, and therefore that the present action could not be sustained. His Lordship then directed the plaintiff to be called.—Plaintiff nonstrited.

On Tuesday night an inquisition was taken at the Turf tap, Tattersall's-yard, Grosvenor-place, before Mr. Hums, on the body of Mary Gay, aged 55, who died of erysipelas, arising out of the following circumstances Edward Gay, the husband of the deceased, who resides at Brook-green, Hammersmith, deposed that, in the be ginning of October last, he was proceeding through Ken sington in a one-horse cart, with the deceased, who was a laundress, when the deceased, in endeavouring to alight from the cart, missed her footing, and fell is the road. She instantly cried out, " Oh, Lord, my thigh is broken !" and witness, on getting down, found this to be the case. He procured assistance, and she was conveyed to the nearest surgeon, who recommended that she should be taken to St. George's Hospital without loss of time, and she was accordingly taken there. Mr. WALTICIC CAARY, house•surgeon of St. George's Hospital, deposed that the deceased bad received a frac. ture of the right thigh, which was set, and she went on well for some weeks, the bone having completely united, so that she was able to.walk about upon crutches. In the beginning of last month, however, she was suddenly seized with erysipelas of the injured limb, large abscesses formed, attended with a constant discharge, and, under the disease she gradually sunk, and expired on the 19th instant. Juror—Another death from erysipelas ! Why we have had no less than five cases lately where persons lotis died at this institution from erysipelas, after recovering from their respective accidents. Surely there must be some thing amiss in the building which ought to be rectified. COKONZR—Prity, Mr. Carey, bow do you account for the prevalence of this disease? Witness—l know not how to account for it ; there is a difference of opinion among medical men upon the subject. A long discussion here arose among the Jury, when, at length, the following memorial to the Governors of the Institution, to be presented by the Coroner, was unani. mously agreed to, and signed by the Fineman of the Jury "It being generally known to the Jury that a number of accitient.cases in St. George's Hospital have terminated fatally by erysipelas, consider it to be their duty to sub. mit to tie Governors of the above hospital that a soli. cient inquiry be made into the causes sf the said disorder heing'so prevalent in the institution; after the patients have, according to the evidence of the medical officers, re covered from the. effects of their respective accidents." A verdict of "Died from erysipelas" was then recorded. Government, it is said, have come to the de termination of removing the recruit establishment from the Bird-cage-walk into Hyde-park, and to let the land on building leases for a handsome crescent on the vacant ground in He. denies's-park, between Queen-square and Buckingham-gste. It will command not only a view of St. James's park, but the Green-park also. Two hand some lodges are to be erected similar to those in Hyde park, one at the end of Great George-street, the other near Buckingham gate. - - CAPTAIN SWlNG.—Since his committal to gaol, Mr. SAVILLIt has been visited by several of the Ma gistra+es, by some of whom he has been shown inflamma tory notices which have been picked up, bearing the same signature, and being in the same hand, as those found upon him and distributed brhin t at s tra di s halh He does not deny having circulated many such notices, but toys he did so front the best intentions. He was actuated in his calling, he nays, by the word of Scripture, which de nounces woe to the oppressor; and, in fact, some of his notices are garnished with the texts froni Holy Writ, " Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees," &c. ltlr. HA ' , Jana is a Methodist, or more properly, perhaps, what is called a " Ranter." lle has fur some years travelled the Suffolk road, and dealt with tratlesraen in Suffolk in the straw-plat line. His residence is Luton, Bedfordshire.--1 He says that be has travelled upwards of 1,200 miles in the last six weeks, so that his inflammatory circulation has no doubt been pretty extensive. It will be recollected that there was a person, who fled in a green gig, detected in the act of setting fire to some stacks near Cambridge. Savant denies that he was at Cambridge w i t hin the last ' three weeks. He was in this town the day before his apprehension, and had dropped a notice at Barton, for the Clergyman of that parish. He denies having been engaged in any incendiary act. On Monday evioioll his son arrived, and was admitted to him in gaol. The son is anxious to give bail, if it may be accepted, i l nd treats the matter lightly. WELLS AND ANOTHER V. CROFTS. This was an action brought by the plaintiffe, as assignees of a bankrupt named Crofts, to recover between thirty and forty shillings, balance of an account fur a suit of clothe., supplied by the bankrupt to the defendant. Mr. Palacio:, in stating the case, lamented that such a trumpery action should for a moment have engaged the time of the Court. Mr. HILL, for the defendant, admitted that it was a trumpery action as regarded the sum in dispute, but it was one of considerable importance to the defendant, as it involved a charge against his professional abilities. The defendant was a respectable attorney, and had been employed by the bankrupt in some professional business, the charge for which be set off against the claim for the clothes ; but the plaintiff would not allow it, nn the al leged ground that the business was not skilfully conducted. It was therefore a questiors to him of the greatest import race. _ _ Mr. F. PoLtocic was replying, when Lord niNTKRDIN suggested the 'propriety of withdraw ing a Juror, which of course was ultimately Agreed to. The Court, at its rising, adjourned until the first day of Hilary Term. THE FUNDS.--('PHIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Owing to want of arrivals we have little to communi cate at present. At length the public anxiety has beta relieved by the express from Paris, whiell'has brought the sentence of the French Peers on the Ex-Miuisters, who ure condemned to perpttual imprisonment. It appears that great fears were entertained that on attempt war] in agitation by the popu lace on the lives of the prisoners, and' they were secretly removed, previous to the sentence being announced, to the strong fort of Vincennes, which can .re!dst any attack from .the populace. It is the general opinion that no serious 'disturbances will take place. Omani*, which left off yesterday at 82i for the account, opened at 84 ; at present they are 82i.

TO THE BARONS AND FREEMEN OF TILE PORT OF EVE. GENTLEIIO4,—I have this moment heard of the public meeting yesterday held in your town—of the resolutions adopted, and the indignation and astonishment evinced by it. For that excitement there is but too much cause. ' Without the remotest misconduct being attributable or at tributed—you are DISFRA NCHISED Against your oppontlits the most flagrant and no torious usurpation and corruption were offered to be proved. The Committee thought proper (whether legally, it is not for tse to say) to refuse to hear these proofs. In short, your rights may now again, as heretofore, ho bartered in the political market without shame or hindrance. Two Committers of the House of Commons are now at issue. One—that of May last, decl iring. your house. holder-tax-payers eontriliuting to rates and burthens, to be entitled to the e:ective franchise. The other—that an individual with a few self-elected relatives and dependants ought to his the eels and exclusive depositories of this great constitutional right. • • The Mayor of your town in August last disobeyed with impunity the former of these decisions. I should like to know why you have not an equal right to disobey the latter. Decrees emanating from authority have no title that I know of, to be held indiscriminately sacred. Good laws deserve respect. Cruel and unjust ones, execration. They are a thousand times more to be deprecated than individual delinquency ; fair what are unjust edicts, in fact, but a pro. vision for the impunity and perpetuation of crime ? Of this perversion of legislation our Stande Books unfortu nately afford but too many examples. But the true way to view the outrage thus committed on you, is in its connexion with general Reform. Great events and changes have originated in lesser incidents. Your town may not be of the largest class, but the firm ness it displays, and the aggravations of the case, will procure for you the sympathy of the whole country. I recommend you to communicate with, and state your grievances to, the enlightened and populous manufacturing, as well as the surrounding towns. Union is above all things necessary. Maritime and inland, trader and a?ri culturist,should all concert, as they now seem disposed to do, in this one great common and Constitutional object'. Isolated' efforts may be dealt with as in yours and Po many other instances, by ordinary intrigue or manage ment, or instruments in themselves contemptible. But such are not the 111e411 , 1 by which the sense of a whole people can be represse.l. Nor, are these the times, let us hope, for the successful maintenance of such wrongs, when almost every breeze brings fresh tidings of the triumphs of Continental Liberty. One more observation I must make—that those who indulge the hope of a real and effectual liejimn being pro posed to Parliament without the co-operation of the people—without a loud and peremptory expression of the public determination —such persons I do not hesitate to say, so anticipating, will be deceived. That some measure., bearing a semblance of what is re quired is in contemplation there can be no doubt. lint Vxsan alone, I apprehend, will afford a sufficient motive for causing its provisions to be such as justice and the Nation demand. At this moment I need only add, that whatever course you may adopt, mine shall be iu unison with it. No r is there any sacrifice, personal or pecuniary, which I shall not be ready to incur her you, and with you. 1 leave the honour to remain, Gentlemen, your faithful and devoted servant, D. L. ,EVANS. 12, Itegent-street, London, Dec. 23, 1830, LITERATURE, THE HORSEMAN'S MANUAL„—LoKnox, 1830, By those who are interested in the subject, anA bow numerous and wealthy is this class in England, the present treatise on the soundness of horses, as well as on the law of warranty respecting them, will be perused with avidity. Mr. Surtees, of Lin coin's Inn, to whom we are indebted for it, has treated his subject with considerable skill and judg ment. He has collected in a small compass, and in a practical, and what is still better, intelligible form, the various decisions relating to horses which lie scattered through the whole body of the law reports. To the majority of these decisions he has appended remarks of his own, for the purpose of clearing up all that may appear doubtful and perplexing to the unin itiated render. In addition to this Mr. Surtees has en tered into a brief but pertinent epitome of the various disorders to which horses are subject, end points out how they may be detected, and by what means they may be remedied. A few observations are also added respecting the degree of responsibility that attaches to Veterinary Surgeons, so that in every respect the treatise is really and truly what it pro fesses to be, a " Horseman's Manual"--and the best " Manual" it is of the sort we have aver read. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.

JAMES, CLEIIKENWEIL--PARLIA- AIENTATtY REFORM. A meeting was held yesterday in the church of St. James's parish, Clerken well, at which Mr. KEY, Churchwarden, presided, fur the purpose of passing resolutions towards framing a petition to be pre sented to Parliament, praying for Reform. The meeting was not very numerously attended. The CHAIRMAN, in the usual manner, on taking the Chair, briefly stated the object of the meeting. Mr.Timmt, rose to propose the first resolution, in doing which he remarked, that there were many petitions front similar meetings that had embraced a variety of complaints, such IHk the abrogation of the assessed taxes, and other things ; but in this case Parliamentary Reform had been deemed of pare mount importance, and on that account the prayer of the petition had been confined to that point alone. Ile strongly urged the necessity of unity among the people. Mr. Muntmv, in rising, said, he was convinced that this country could never return to a healthy state till an alteration was made in the mode of its representation. He preferred the Constitution of England to any that he had ever heard or read of— as it should by, to consist of King, Lords, and Com mons, where there were to be one House of Lords, mid one House of Commons; but instead of that, we had now two Houses of Lords, and no House of Commons, because the influence of the Peers was so strong in the House of Commons, it could not he said that the people were represented. He al luded to the present state of the country, and ex pressed a great feeling of sympathy for the people who had from distress been driven to commit out rages; but he did not blame them so much, nor hold them so culpable, as these who had ground them to the dust, and driven them to desperation. Ile adverted to the professions of the present Ministry, end all they had to encounter in their pre sent situations, and added, that the Ministry could not possibly stand for six months unless the people strengthened their hand, one means of which was by petitions for Reform. Mr. IIEwITT rose to move the second resolution. He said that it bad been urged by some, that it was no time now to petition for Parliamentary Reform, since the Government had pledged themselves on the subject ; but he contended that it was necessary to petition, or else those whose interest it was to oppose it would immediately turn round, and say that the people did not complain, and that they did not want any thing. Mr. Com;onv moved the third resolution, which prayed for Vote by Ballot.—(Loud applause.) lie did not anticipate that the resolution would encoun ter opposition at this meeting, but he was afraid that it would . not give satisfaction elsewhere. The House of Cominons had always been be hind the people in progress of sentiment, but the House of Lords were an immeasurable dis tance behind them. Ile thought it a great mis- chief to a country to have an hereditary Senate. lie drew a ridiculous picture of the inefficiency of the Aristocracy as members of society. Ile attributed the cause of the evi► to the existence of the law of primogeniture. With regard to the vote by ballot, the aristocracy ought object to it. The Duke of Newcastle would perhaps say, " I cannot do what I like with my own." Now it was proper that the people should tell the Commons of their wants, and let the Commons represent it to the Lords. He urged the advantage of vote by ballot that it would do away with the practice of canvassing for votes, it would then be only necessary to look to the merits of the man, He concluded with saying, that" they might as well attempt to sail a ship into port with out water, as to get themselves properly repre sented, unloss they obtained vote by ballot."— (Loud cheers.) Mr. Timm supported you by ballot, because it would do away with that bribery and perjury that now existed, at elections. If he knew of any better mode of election he would have advocated it, but ballot seemed to him to be the best. Mr. CoNat, in a 1011 g speech, dissented. from pa titioning for ballot, althoUgh he approved of that mode of voting 'he argued as the more pru dent step to confine the petition to Reform with out any dictation.: Mr. TnompsoN at great length replied to him, and argued that no dependence was to be placed upon the promises of the Ministry. A number of gentlemen present spoke in support of vote by ballot. Mr. COTRIII.I, moved an amendment to the re solution, to exclude from the prayer of the petition vote by ballot. Mr. MASON seconded the amendment, Mr. SOLOMON, in support of the original reso lution, instanced the good effects that vote by ballot had had in France, in frustrating the machinations of its late Government. The amendment was put from the chair, and lost by a majority overwhelming, only two having held up their hands for the amendment. Mr. SoLoam moved another resolution. After which the meeting adjourned.

On Saturday last an inquest was taken at Sum mer Town, near this city, before Mr. Cm', Coroner, on view of the body of Mary Johnson, who was found dead the preceding morning in a cart-house, belonging to Mr. 'Bates, of Summer Town. Jos. Bates, of Summer Town, nurseryman, de posed as follows :—On Thursday last, about twelve o'clock ut noon, I went to my cart-house, and heard a rustling in the straw. I said," who's there ?" Upon which Mary Johnson rose up itt the straw, and discovered herself to me, nak.ed. I asked her how she came in that state, and she eeplied she had been compelled to sell her shift. I asked her if she did not feel excessively cold sleeping in such a place, and she said she did not, for my lad gave her two trusses of straw. I then asked her if she did not intern! to get up, and go on her road ; she replied, "My feet are so sore, and my poor bones ache so, that I am glad to rest them, while the little girl is gone to get bread." About three o'clock I was standing near to the door of the cart house, and the daughter was talking to Mary Johnson. I inquired whether she was about to leave, and the daughter said, " If you will let my moilier sleep here to-night, we will be ()tithe first thing in the morning." I consented, and came away. About nine o'clock I was passing the cart house, and heard the mother and daughter talking. Mary Johnsen, told me the first time I saw her that she had the rheumatics very bad : she never mentioned that she had applied for parochial relief." . James Morris, servant to Mr. Bates, deposed— On Friday morning last, about seven o'clock, I went into my master's cart house, and round Mary Johnson lying dead under the straw, with her arm across her daughter's body. Mary Johnson, daughter of the deceased—l am 12 years of age; I and my mother left London about six months ago; my father has-been dead two years; my mother, when she was well, went out washing for her living; she was badly when we left London, having pains all round her side., and used to complain of it. We came into Oxford about three weeks ago, and staid a week; we then went to Abingdon and other places. We came through Oxford on Wednesday lest to Mr. Bates's. My mo ther asked Mrs. Bates to let us sleep in the esti house; and she gave us permission : this was about four o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Bates's lad have tes . isome straw to lie upon. On huraday night r t ti mother was very cold, but I did cot know she Was dead; she was lying on her left side, with her knees up, and her right arm over me. On 'Fri.' day .morning I told one of Mr. Bates's men that my mother was dead, and he came and found she was dead. About a fortnight ago my mother applied at the Butter Bench at Oxford for relief, ahe was given two twopenny loaves, and an order to go to the apothecary to the Medical Dispensary. I went with my mother to the Medical Dispensary, and delivered the order to a young gentlemen there; he asked my mother what was the matter with her, anti she said she had pains all round .her sides: he not examine her, but gave her six powders, and told her she was not to travel for a couple of cltnts- My mother took three powders each day. On the same day she had the powders we - went to Mr. Dickeson, and he wrote to Mr.' Lakey, the governor of the United Parishes at Oxford, end be gave us Is. 611. The next day Mr. Diekeson gave my . mother a bottle of medicine, - and we afterwards had Is. W. more relief from the Overseers of St. Thomas's parish, Oxford. My mother bad a pair of stays, a gown, anti petti coat, but no shift. I bad, when my mother died, a frock, an, old stuff petticoat and • shift, and an old pair of shoes, but no stockings. When we left London ray mother received from the over seers at the Board at Whitechapel, London, 2). to take her home. She told the Board she was goitop, to Worcester. Before we left London we bought ,orne eeedles and pins to sell, and left. London with about I/. 155.. Sometimes we had a trifle given upon the road, and I sold some needles and pins, but we had but one penny left when we came into Mr. Bates's house. My mother said the powders she had from Mr. Symonds's young man, and the medi cine she received from Mr. Dickman), did her good; but that she took too much at last of Mr. Dicke son's : it was a bottle of mixture. Mr. Dickeson was never called upon to attend my mother. For the la,t three months my mother at • times, has bad nothing to eat, and very often only bread, which she could not eat : she has said to me, " 1 can't eat a piece of dry bread-1 must have something else to ft." Sometimes we bad a little tea, but not often. My' mother frequently said she Wanted broth or meat. On Tuesday morning last **bad a halfpennY worth of milk and a piece of bread; ,, st . Ahingskat, anti had a piece of bread, but no milk : in the evening we had a penny-worth of bread between us, My mother complained almost every day of not having right sort of food; she told the Governor at Ox ford that she was very ill, but not that she was in 'want of food. On Thursday last I begged two pence of two gentlemen on the road near Bates's ; went to two bakers to get some bread, but they would not sell me lees than •lid. worth. My mo ther hail nothing to eat from Wednesday last omit Thursday night, between ten and eleven o'clock, when a man carne and gave her some bread mat dripping." Mr. John James Ireland, of lieadington, Luc. geon and apothecary, deposed-1 attended and assisted Mr. Dickeson in the opening of the body of the deceased, and 1 stn confident that the deceased had a very extensively diseased liver, and 1 !whey° her death was occasioned, by it. lam of opinion that her death was accelerated by the want of pro per food and attention. The Jury returned a verdietDied by the slake ; Lion of God; but that her death was apeelsered by ihe mutt of proper food and necessahtiea.rii JoUrnal. SECON I_) EDITION.
