tto not agree with the amount of that rent-charge ; but I sh a ll not now enter into any details upon th subject, though I must state generally th a t I do not agree i n th e prin c i p l e which has been laid down on that subject. /14 Lords, I agree in thinking that some opportunity ought to be afforded of re-considering at least those compositions for tithes made under Lord Stanley's Act but I can see no reason, nor have I yet heard any reason, for re-considering any composition s under former Acts. I admit the princi ples of tWs Bill, so far as it is connected with the re-con sideration of those composition ; and I likewise am dis posed to agree in the necessity of adopting some measure to provide for a re-consideration of the distribution of the revenues of the Church of Ireland, with a view to give the benefices to those who would be resident Minis ters, and with a view to the more general efficiency of that Church. —[So we understood the Noble Duke, who dropped his voice towards the conclusion of the sentence.] MY Lords, I am induced to do this, as well in consideration of the wishes of the Church itself—(Cheers)—as for the credit of th e C hurch. My Lords, the consideration of his subject, if justice be done to the Church, and if justice he done to the public, and to all the interests which are involved in its consideration, will show clearly that there Will not be any of that magnificent surplus—(" Hear," and laughter)_which the Noble Lord has so easily made out, and in which he seemed to triumph so much. I hope he may be able to prove that surplus when the question comes to be more accurately examined ; but he will find, even on that consideration, that his surplus will fail him. My Lords, I am sure t h at t h ere can be no• • surplus i n th e v i ew w hich I take of the future distribution of the revenues of the Church of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) It is not now ne cessary for me to go further into the consideration of the question. lam disposed to agree to the second reading of this Bill, and to promote the full consideration of its provi• sions in a future stage.—(Cheers.) The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. SCOTCH UNIVERSITIES BILL. Their Lordships resolved themselves into a Committee upon this Bill. Claus e 1 was agreed to, with a verbal amendment by the Earl of Aberdeen. Clauses 2,3, and 4, were agreed to. Clause 5 received a verbal amendment. Clauses 6 and 7 were also agreed to. •Upon clause 8 being propoSed, Th e E ar l of ABERDEEN objected t o th e prov i so Which it contained, to the effect that the principal of the Universities should not be allowed to vote in any case in which he was personally interested. Now he (the Earl of Aberdeen) contended that that would practically exclude the principal from voting on any question, for there could hardly be any case i n which it might not be said that he was tersonally interested. He thought that they should allow r e .prin c i pa l to vote on every question, whethe r h e was in sted in it or not, and he should therefore move that that Proviso be struck out. The proviso was struck out, and the clause as amended agreed to. -Clause 9 and 10 were agreed to. On clause 11 being proposed, pThe Earl of HADDINTON moved the insertion of a rovis o at the end of the clause, to the effect that if the gulation proposed by the visitors should effect the cztrri culuni or course of study required in the theological edu cation in the Scotch Universities, by the General Assembly !of:he Church of Scotland, they should be reported to the his Asse . mbly, and be by that body commun i cated to such or a .lestY m Cou nc il, w h o s h ou ld h ave power to make ders therein, as to him should seem fit. th at i rd HO LLAND opposed the pro v i so , on t h e ground Lo t would confer a power upon the Church of Scot sesnsed lad in the U n i versities, which it had never previously pos ..

RARIc S AT DOVER.—T h ere is a /mum Impost ts6n practised in the Dover steam-packets, which is trifling in Its an , 'n, —el ltit, but it has the effect of creating an unfavourable I..pression in their first arrival, or the minds of foreigners on 2!I their leaving the country. A passenger who comes into "over harbou r is directed to a ladder by which he may step on tb . m a -e . Pier ; but no sooner has he got on the pier than a de j 1 " is made on him for "sixpence for the accommodation." I:lolitikeei..m.a.nner. a passenger going on board a Boulogne packet f oot uu-ly directed to the adder; but as soon as he sets his Jcinft„ on deck there is a demand made for " half a franc for the irnodation," and with this demand he must comply or be teal to the insolence of the crew. It is evident, from the .eal Which the men evince in the business, that they have an a mte k re at in the proceeds ; but the owners ought not to sanction 2 1e " a practice, which cannot produce any very considerable fo rn°4ll t of gain however much it may tend to create a feel.. the of disg ust. , Another imposition (for it is nothing less) is th e shameful habit of sending round a begging-box among all the Pass engers " for the crew," as if the packet owners paid ro nothing for their services. et _p_ A r.

A despatch, of which the following is an extract, has been transmitted to Viscount Palmerston, G. C. 8., his Majesty', Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, by the Right Hon. Henry Ellis, his Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary at the Court of Persia. (EXTRACT.) TEHERAN, MAY 6, 1836. My Loan—l have the honour to forward to your Lordships Persian copy and translation of a Proclamation or Royal Order issued by his Majesty the Shah, which places'the trade of Bri tish subjects with Persia on the same footing, with respect to duties, as that of Russian subjects ; and, moreover, ensures to British merchants security and prote . ction in the admission and sale of their property. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) H. ELLIS. TRANSLATION. SEAL OF MAHOMMED SHAH. Whereas the relations of friendship and amity between the powerful and dignified Governments of Persia and England are fixed upon the most perf ec t an d fi rm b as i s ; an d w h ereas !t is agreeable to the exalted character of his Majesty that this friendship and amity should daily increase, and that mutual ad vantage should thence result; therefore, in the present aus picious year, and henceforth, according to this gracious pro clamation, we grant liberty and permission to merchantsof the . British nation, that having brought their merchandise to the territorial possessions of Persia they may dispose of the same is perfect security and confidence, and that they shall pay to the officers of Government the same public dues upon their goods as are paid by the merchants of the Russian Government. In the month of Moohurrim, in the year of the Hegira, 1252. Received at the British Palace, Teheran, on the sth of May, 1834. A true translation, C Signed) H. ELLIS. EXTRACT FROM THE THIRD ARTICLE OF THE TREATY OF COMMERCE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND PERSIA. It is agreed that goods imported into Persia, or exported from that kingdom by Russian subjects, shall be liable, a. heretofore, to a duty of five per cent. levied, once for all, upon their import and export, and shall not be subject after wards to any other duty. THE DUCHESS OE BERRI —The Messager de Gond says—" Several journals hav e s t ate d t h at t h e Duchess of Berri had passed incognito through Paris. We have re ceived some confidential information respecting the journey of that Princess. We are assured that, on the news of the crime of Alibaud, she fled from France, where she was concealed. From Paris she pursued . her cou rse t o Gh ent (where s h e changed horses), accompanied by two young ladies of noble families of Bretagne, and by an ex-officer of the Royal Guard. The Duchess, when she passed through this city wore a green veil. She and all her suite speak English, and it is probable that she travels as an Englishwoman. F; em, Ghent she went to Brussels, and thence, by way of Aix-la- Chapelle, to Germany. We have these particulars from a person who seems to be better informed than the police - of France or Brussels." _ 2,0 M I 1 000 6,0 0 10,00 10,000 .0,0 I.) 6,000 MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

The decased in this case is the late Earl of Scarboro who died at Edwinstow, on the 24th of February, 1833, in the 74th year of his age, in consequence of a f►ll from his horse, after which accident he was never sensible for a moment, and died in a few hours, leaving a widow, one son (the present Earl), and three daughters, Lady Anna Maria Lumley (a spinster), Lady Harriet Barbara Man ners Sutton (the widow of Mr. Manners Sutton, with a family), and Lady Louisa Frances Caitor (the wife of the Rev. William Caitor). The personal property of the de ceased amounted to 300,0001. ; and the paper now nro pounded as a further co:licil to the will of the deceased was propounded by three out of the four executors of the will, which bore date on the 13th of Oct., 1826, which was not disputed, and was opposed by Mrs. Castle, one of the resi duary legatees under the same will, and by two ladies of the name of Hartley, who were nieces of the deceased, and also re siduary legatees in the will. Besides the will of 1826, the deceased had also executed a codicil on the Bth of Novem ber, 1832, which, however, mainly confirmed the provisions of the preceding will, which left the bulk of his property to his wife's niece, a Mrs. Castle, and his own nieces, the Misses Hartley. The paper now propounded was in the hand-writing of Lord Scarborough, and its provisions were in favour of the widow and daughters of the testator. The KING'S ADVOCATE appeared on behalf of the exe cutors of the will of 1826, to support the paper propounded ; Dr. LUSHINGTON for Mrs. Castle ; and Dr. HAGGARD for the Misses Hartley, in opposition to that paper. The COURT would give judgment on Thursday next coU RT OF REQUESTS, THURSDAY. LARdINS V. WILBERFORCE. William Wilberforce, a man of colour from the coast of Gambia, was summoned at the suit of Thomas Larkins, a portrait painter, to show cause why he refused paying the sum of one guinea, which he contracted to pay for having his likeness painted. The plaintiff stated that on the second of April last the defendant applied to him to paint his portrait, which he agreed to do for a guinea. The defendant sat no less than nine times, and on the sth of May the picture was finished and sent home, but when he called on the following day for the money, the defendant flew into a violent passion, de claring that it bore no more resemblance to him than it did to one of the bumeys of his trible. COMMISSIONER—Have you the picture with you ? Plaintiff—Yes ; exhibiting a half-length portrait of the defendant, as much like him as two balls of blacking- can be like each other. Defendant—Him no like me, I say, and me no hab him —me lif me place, so me hab one picture for cookey ; but him no like me, I say. The Commissioner having attentively examined the por trait, declared he considered it a very good likeness for the price. The defendant then took it up, and, after looking at it for some moments, pulled out a pocket mirror, in which he carefully examined his own physog, comparing it all the time with the picture, which he at last threw down in a violent passion, saying " Him no like me, him too white— (Laughter)—and him nose like Pattoo." COMMISSIONER—" Pattoo," what's that ? Defendant—" Gol o' Mittv, massa for Judge, not know what Pattoo mean. Him like Pattoo," pointing with much archness at the poor limner, who had a remarkably small beaky nose—" Pattoo mean what you call owl." COMMISSIONER —But you do not call the plaintiff an owl ? Defendant—Yes, Massa, Lor Judge, him like Pattoo, and pictu too like Pattoo, Sir, so me no hab him. CommlssloNEß—But whether you take the picture or not you must pay the guinea with the costs. Defendant—No, massa, me, me no do dat ; him no like me, him too white, and him hab no handsome ears, so me no hab him at all, for me stand handsome, me look hand some, but dat like a Pattoo. The COURT, however, adjudged, notwithstanding all poor Massa's eloquence, that he must pay the amount of the plaintiff's claim, with costs, and he quitted the Court declaring he would get " Daddy Buxton" to see him righted.

Baron Bulow is about to retire from the representa tion of the Prussi an G overnment at the British Court, and with his lady and family will leave this country, after a sojourn in his diplomatic capacity of more than ten years. His Ex. cellenclis much esteemed in the diplomatic circles, as the Baroness is in those of the Court and high life. Between ' the Queen and the latter there has from childhood existed a sincere personal friendship, which has never changed with the exaltation of rank on the part of her Majesty. Lately, a girl, employed in picking up stones in a field adjoining the church at Savigna in the Jura, found an old oak box very much decayed, and in which were 212 pieces of money, part silver, and partly of mixed metal, of the reigns of the Emperor Charles V., and his son Philip IV.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT, iVoncEsri,R, Juzr 19. The business began in both Courts yesterday. Mr. Jus tice PATTISON presiding at Nisi l'rius, and Mr. Justice Littledale in the Crown Court. There are eighteen causes entered, five of which are special juries. The calendar contains the names of about thirty prisoners for the county and city. FORGERY.—John Court, a schoolmaster, was indicted for having forged a bill of exchange for 981. 155, dated the 11th of February, 1836, at four months, payable to the order of James Watts, signed William Williams, payable at Jones, Lloyd, and Co.'s, bankers, London, with intend to defraud Nathaniel Husband. Verdict—Not Guilty. Michael Burgess, aged 32, silversmith, was indicted for having on the 15th of April last, forged the indorsement of John Bissett to a certain promissory note for the payment of money, with intent to defraud John Codrington and William Merrefield. The Jury found the prisoner guilty. He is to be tried to-morrow on another indictment. MIDLAND CIRCUIT, JuLy 21. The business of the assizes for this county commenced to-day. There are ten causes for the county and town of Nottingham, two of which are special juries ; the calender both for town and county contains bat the names of ten prisoners, two being for perjury, one for the concealment of the birth of a child, one for cutting and stabbing ; the rest being for offences of a minor description. No case deserv ing of any particular notice occurred during the day. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Yoar, Juzr 20 CRIM. CON.--.MELLIN V. TAYLOR. Sir F. POLLOCK for the plaintiff; Mr. CRESWELL for - the defendant. This cause was tried at the last Assizes, and after having • occupied the Court nearly two days, a verdict was given for the defendant.' A new trial having been granted, the cause was fixed to be tried a second time to-day. Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK said—May it please your Lordship,— G e ntlemen of the Jury,—The plaintiff, M r . in . Mellin business and has been so f or some years , i n Wakefield, and resides at a place Called Belle Vue, near that town. He married many years ago—l believe in 1825—the match was one altogether of affection—hardly with the consent of his father. He derived no pecuniary advantage from the union, being content with the personal attractions, accomplishments; affection, and virtue of his wife. Their union was blessed with nine children, of whom six are now living. The defendant is an attorney, a'so married, and the father of several children. He became more particularly acquainted with Mr. Mellin, the plaintiff, in 1830, when his father died ; and Mr. Taylor, the de fendant, being left trustee under the will of Mr. Mellin's father, had much to do with the concerns of Mr. Mellin's family, particularly of some of the sisters. In consequence of this, a great intimacy arose, and it is scarce possible for two families to be more intimate than were the families re spectively of Mr. Mellin and Mr. Taylor. Gentlemen, I believe as early as 1831, from circumstances not then known to all, a communication was made by Mr. Taylor to Mr. Mellin, I think, of his having received some anony mous letter, either threatening or talking of some carica ture, the tendency of which was to connect the name of Mr. Taylor improperly with that of Mrs. Mellin. Mr. Mellin, confiding in the honour of his friend, and the chas tity of his wife, disregarded that communication, and treated it as, I think I may say, in common with the opinion of every body, anonymous communications ought always to be treated, with extreme contempt. Mr. Taylor continued his attentions to the family, and the intimacy that subsisted be tween them continued notwithstanding. Mr. Mollin's busi ness led him occasionally from home altogether ; and you will find he was once at Hamburgh. You will find also that he was occasionally at Li ver pool, and that when h e was i n Wakefield his habits of business were such, that he returned home to dinner, and afterwards went again to his counting house, where he generally remained till a late period of the evening. His habits were regular, and they were known. The families continued to visit till in the latter end of 1835, in August, all Wakefield was made aware of some circum stances that had occurred, which called upon Mr. Mellin instantly to take some more decided step. Towards Mrs. Mellin he conducted himself' with kindness and considera tion. She was connected with a noble family in Ireland ; and I believe the friend who would be most naturally re sorted to lived there, and vas sent for. She was herself re moved to the house of a female relative of Mr. Mellin ; h u t Mr. Mellin instantly broke off any further intercourse with her till the inquiry that was to take place had been gone through. Some gentlemen wore named and approved of by both the parties ; three gentlemen were approved of both by Mr. Mellin and Mr. Taylor ; they were to make an inquiry ; they were to sit as it were as a grand jury. If they pronounced that Mr. Mellin, with safety to his domestic happiness, leaving his honour unstained, and his character as a man and a husband unim peached, could receive Mrs. Mellin again, that course was to be and would have been adopted. On the other hand, if they thought it became Mr. Mellin, that he would be wanting in what he. owed to himself, to, society, and to his children if he paused, they were to report their opinion on the transaction, and they did so ; the consequence was, the inquiry was instituted which you have to prosecute this day. And then, Gentleman, there came out, that which not fre quently occurs, that the unhappy husband is the last per son, not merely to suspect, but to hear of, the acts of cri, mina intercourse on the part of the wife. It turned out that Mr. Taylor frequently called, and was much in the habit of calling at • Mr. Mellin's house, and seeing morro Mrs. Mellin alone, at periods of the day when he must have been perfectly aware that Mr. Mellin was not, and could not, in the ordinary course of his domestic life, be at home ; that those visits were frequent—so much so, as to be far beyond the ordinary attention which any married. man would be paying to a married woman, that woman being the wife of his bosom ' friend. It turned oiit that their meetings on other occasions, and in other places, were of such a character as if they stood quite alone, unaccen pm:cd by any other circumstance, would give rise to grave! suspicion ; and there was no longer the slightest degree or wonder as to the reports which were in circulation, and which, it must be admitted, were in circulation at Wakefield. But, gentlemen, that is not all ; it turned out that as far back as 1831, when Mr. Mellin went to Hamburg, either the same night, or a night or two-after, clean sheets were ordered, mid. clean personal apparel and a person came to the house under circumstances which I shall not here minutely detail. Gentlemen, in the same year Mr. Taylor was in the break fast-room with Mrs. Mellin, the blinds were.down, the door was fast, and some intimation had been given- to the ser vants, that they were to knock at the door whet-, Mr. Tay lor was there ; but the servants came, they did .knock at the door, they tried it—it was locked. Mr. Taylor after wards opened the door, came and called for a glas's of water, and Mrs. Mellin was found lying on a sofa ; L'ut low Mr. Taylor came to be in such a situation with Mrs. Mellin, with the blinds down, and the door fast, will be for you to determine ; for of the fact, gentlemen, I believe there is no doubt. In the year 1832, it turned out that Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Mellin were at a place called Stanley Ferry ; that they went there, had refreshment there, and took that refreshment in a room whore there was a bed ; that they came upon a second occasion, but not being able to get to the room, they remained there but a very short time. In August in that year, it will he proved by a serv an t o f Mr. Mellin, that Mrs. Mellin (her husband being absent from home) let in Mr. Ti - ylar at the house door herself, the servants being previously seat to bed ; and at the late hour of twelve o'clock, Mr. Taylor was seen to go in, with his boots in his hand ; he stayed there two hours, and was then seen to return. Gentle. men, in 1833, you will find a somewhat remarl:able fact occurred, and the confirmation of it is a little extraoriinary ; but I state to you a fact as lam instructed. A w;tness who was a servant in the family, receiving a message to be delivered to Mrs. Mellin, went straight into the library, and there discovered Mrs. Mellin and Mr. Taylor, the clothes of Mrs. Mellin being in a situation that could leave in the mind of no person of delicacy and propriety any doubt whatever of the impropriety of that visit, and of a criminal intercourse of some sort having taken place. Gentlemen, in the latter part of that year another circum stance occurred. Mrs. Mellin was taken, by some con nection or acquaintance of hers, a Mr. loves, who lived in the neighbourhood of Driffield, to his house, which, I believe, was at a place called Eastbourn. She wont there without her husband, and might stay a fortnight or three weeks ; her husband was to come, and return home with her, when her visit was concluded. While there, Mr. Taylor came, and passed a night in the house ; and in order that he might be accommodated, I think a bed-room was as signed to him on th e same l an di ng w h ere M rs. M e lli n s l ep t. On the Bth of August, 1835, Mr. Taylor was seen walking along the river side in the neighbourhood of Wakefield. Shortly after Mrs. Mellin was seen coming, I believe, in an opposite direction ; a man of the name of Bell was there. This man, Bell, had a boy with him. He and the boy turned about—he continued his course on one side of the hill, and the boy took another. There was a barley-field, across which was a footpath, and adjoining this a wheat field. There was a stile to each. The boy proceeded t too gh the corn, and as he approached, went on Lis hrnis and knees ; Bell continued at a distance. They were seen to approach the stile at the extremity of the wheat-field. When they got to the stile Bell lost sight of the lady—she evidently sat down upon a step on the stile. He saw the defendant's person lower, and observed him in a situation that he will describe to you, which excited his strong suspi cion that they were engaged in criminal intercourse. The boy advanced in the corn upon his hands and knees, raising himself occasionally to get a sight of them, and there he saw the defendant engaged in a criminal intimacy. A pri vate investigation —a kind of grand jury—composed of friends, was held at Wakefield, for the purpcse of inqui ring into these facts. They were examined very mi nutely ; and their decision was, that further inquiry was necessary. Numerous witnesses were examined in behalf of the charge, for which we have no room. At seven o'clock the Court adjourned. THURSDAY.—The proceedings in this important case were resumed this morning. Temrest examined by Sir F. Por,Locx.—l was groom to Mr. Main four years ago. I saw Mr. Taylor there once at eleven o'clock. He has got into the house without givinc , trouble—that is without ringing tile bell. I once szw him at the house at six o'clock in the morning. Allred Locknood, examined by Sir F. PoLLocK.—ls ninete,n years old. Has been seven years apprentice to Francis : remembers the Bth of August last year. Muster, me, and the other apprentice, went to Sandal Castle-hill, to milk the cows. After we had done. I saw Mr. Taylor—he was in the field leading from Mr. Fernan dez's house towards Milnthorpe. I saw a litdy there—it was Mrs. Mellin. Mr. Taylor went towards her ; they met —they shook .hands. I went into my master's field. I saw them at the second stile. Mr. Taylor was sitting down on the stile, she was sitting on his knee. They got up, and cross a grass field ; then they came to a wheat field—they crossed that. From the wheat field they went into a barley field. I went into the barley field by a gap on the top side. I was hid at the time ; I saw the gentle man and the lady. Her back was towards Miintborpe ; the gentleman was standing close to her, looking about the close. He put his face towards her, as if he was going to give her a kiss. I can't say that he did give her a kiss. Ile then looked about and around, and then repeated what I thought were kisses. He looked about again, and I then concealed myself in the barley. The lady's face was to wards me, and the gentleman's back. He was leaning upon the lady. He remained in that position a short time. His side was towards me. Her arms were about him. Francis Bell gave evidence nearly to the same effect. Other evidence was then adduced, after which the Court adjourned. not expected that the trial will close till late to- THUNDER-STORM. On Thursday afternoon the thunder-storm with whirl ' tie metropolis was visited was particularly severe in the viein'ty of the Bethnal-green-road. About a quarter t o f our o'clock the sto rm rage d w ith it s g reatest violence, the effect b:ing very disastrous in many parts ; in one instance a rnan of the name of Thomas Sherving, a weaver, living at No. Bethnal-green road, hav ing lost his Skuddries-street, life. The electric fluid, which was the ca use o f t h e unfor tunate man's death, struck the chimneys of the house, No: 1,-which, with the stack, were knocked down upon the root; forcing that in. It passed through th e room, w h ere there were several looms, at which a man named Peter Bi shop, the oecup'er of the house , w as at wor k . In that room his child, two years old, fell down by the suddenness of the motion, and when taken up was Compl e t e ly bl ac k an d q&:e insensible. The electric fluid next took its course to wards No. 12, down the front of the house, the houses being only one story high. Having descended to about the =ldle of that room, it crossed over to the part where the deceased was a t wor k , and came i n contact with him under his chin on the left side. Passing over his chest to t!:e might side, it went in a line down the outside of the rght leg, melted the treddle of the loom, which is made - )f Iced, passed through the floor, severed a Dutch clock in 0 p cees in the room below, and then entered the earth. In the romn where the deceased worked were his wife and sis'er-in I,w, who were also at work, but who were not in jured. On some persons going to tile deceased's assistance, he w,s without life. The infant was taken by its father to Mr. Vanderburgh's, a surgeon, in the Bethnal-green road, who gave it some medicine, and ordered a warm bath, the effects of which were shortly to restore it, and it now in a fair way of doing well. The shock of the concus sion to the two houses caused the demolition of above fifty p times of glass, besides destroying a great quantity of crockery and breaking to pi ec e s a l oo ki ng - g l ass b e l o nging to Bishop. c body of the poor man exhibited a very shocking ap , reran( e. His stockings and trousers were almost burnt to adies. Mr. Vanderburgh and Mr. Taylor, medical gentle.. men, attended shortly after the awful occurrence , but it was out of all human agency to render any service. - An infant in a craddle in the parlour of No. 12 n arrow l y escaped. Upon the circumstances becoming kn own , several hundred persons collected, when, as an intention was shown on the part of some to have a personal view of the interior of the houses, Sergeant Tickle, K 8, by th e or d er of h i s superin tendent, obtained the assistance of ten policemen, Who pre vented any violence. The K was afterwards relieved by the R division, as the houses were in their district. During time evening persons we re a d m i tted at a penny each to view the premises ; though, at the s a m e ti me , we are sorry to s that . the rel a ti ons o f the deceased were lost to all proper feeling.; towards the dead, as they also made an ex filiation of the poor man's body. The same night informal tion was sent to Mr. Baker, the Coroner, who ordered an inquest to be-held the following day, at the Hope pub lic-house , where, yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, a jury, consisting of several of the parochial Guicers, were empannelled. Verdict—'That the deceased was killed by lightning w hil e wor ki ng i n his own h ouse . The jury spoke in strong ter m s o f i n di gna tion at the exhibition of the de. eeesed's body. About three o'clock on Monday afternoon last, four prisoners, confined in Dumfries jail, succeeded in taking them. s?lves off in the handiest manner imaginable. 40 44 34 39 34 33 THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1836.
