• -4 THE LONDON JONNALs. October 19. --op— DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MOILNING PAPERS, [MORNING POST.] • Letters and Papers were received yesterda y from Cadiz, Barcelona, Gibraltar, &c. to a late date. They state. that the fever, instead of de creasing, was extending its ravages to new places. sit Mequinenza a number of persons . had •been -attacked, and several deaths had taken place. At Port St. Mary's the fever had broken out again with all its former violence, and the com munication between that port and Cadiz had been .entirely cut off. Cordons had been formed round Tortosa and Mequinenza, and every means, adopted to prevent the further. extension of the malady. The medical men who, in several in stances, had left the infected distriCts lest they shoUld fall victims to the disease, had been threat ened with punishment according to the sani tary laws, if they did not immediately retum— The accounts from Constantinople, in these let ters, .afford the following additional particulars of the engagement between the Turkish and Greek fleets . off Samos : The Turks attempted to land 13,000 men on that island, but were repulsed by the ihhabitants, and shortly afterwards the Greek 'fleet appeared ..in sight. The two. fleets commenced firing in the midst of rocks and islets, where the fight could only be carried on ship against ship, and where, the largest vessels could scarcely make way.. At length the Greek Ad miral collecting all his force, broke the Turkish line, and with the aid of five fire-ships, burnt eight Turkish vessels, captured six, ancL•sunk several others.. The remainder of the fleet made all sail, but were pursued, and all captured except a few which took refuge in the Isle of Cos. The Turkish fleet at first consisted of four ships of . the line, five frigates, four cor vettes, and thirty other ships.of different sizes. The Greeks had about ninety vessels. In con sequence of news so unfavourable to the-Turks, fresh excesses are said to have been committed at Constantinople by the populace, and that place is mentioned as being in a complete state of anarchy and confusion. • [BRITISH PRESS.] The partial efforts made by" Alerino and some gthers to light the flames of civil war within their country were happily suppressed by the almost unaided force of public opinion ; they sunk in their own insignificance : but Aches we know that such persons ventured to distinguish them selves as loyalists—that they impudently arro gated to themselves, in one instance, the title of " The Army for the Deliverance of God and the King;"- and in every instance affected to re present the King as the promoter of:their enter prizes, and that every friend to despotic power ire Spain, Great Britain, and .France, fervently desired their success—lwhat can be more unjust than to impute their excesses, and the necessary consequences of them, either to the genius of the revolution itself, or to the conduct of the iilustrious individuals, who,, by promoting the revolution, effected the deliverance, of their country ? If Spain be distracted and convulsed, the fault lies with the enemies of the revolution. That mighty event was accomplished in a manner peculiarly fortunate ; despotism fell and liberty rose almost without a struggle—n.o blood was shed, and Spain might at once have begun to enjoy the blessings of security to life and pro perty, lied not Courtiers and Monks conspired to blast the fair fruits of this glorious enterprise.— Had the friends of the ancient system submitted themselves to the expressed will of the nation, and hesitated to disturb the general tranquillity of the State, the provinces of Spain would have known no other enemies to their repose. rMORNING CHRONICLE.) .The Ministerial Papers at first teemed with most mysterious allusions to the important disco *eries which had been made respecting Sir Robert Wilson. ft would now seem, however, that Ministers have renounced all idea of attempt ing to make out even the semblance of a case against him, and that they mean to entrench 'themselves behind their right to act according - to 'the dictates of their caprice. "An actor, a pro minent actor," says The Courier," in the dis graceful outrages of the 14th of August—a Major-General in the King's service—heading the cavalcade on that memorable day, and en couraging by the mere fact of his presence (to say nothing further)—the all but:treasonable acts of •the mob—to pretend that an individual who thus forgot himself, should be considered as still entitled to his rank and pay as an officer of the King, is an insult to common sense." The mere fact of the presence of an Officer of the King at the funeral of the wife of that Xing, is• sufficient then to au thorise his dismissal from the service ! But even, allowing the - fact of being present at the - Queen's funeral.sufficient to warrant the confiscation of the sums paid by Sir Robert Wilson for his com mission, why must punishrhent precede trial ? The prerogative gives, the King the.power over the army; but in the exercise of that preroga tive there, ought to be nothing arbitrary. 1 N E.W TozEs.l The Morning Chronicle rejoices greatly that the personal friendS of Sir Robert Wilson, the Noblemen and Gentlemen with whom be haS dined, and with whom he has acted in Parlia ment, are liberal. enough. to_ subscribe sums, 'which they can very well afford, to prevent his fallirig into a state of penury. Looking at the matter in this point of view alone, we see no thing very extraordinary in it, only we think it was set about in rather an absurd manner. Why did the B. A. N. D. come up 'in single letters ? —Why should Lord Grey or Mr. Lambton he ashamed-to avow himself at the 'very. outset ? It cast an unnecessary mystery on the busi 7 ness, and was perhaps not altogether fair to the other 'subscribers. At present, how ever, the thing seems to be . tolerably well understood. The Chronicle alone seems to be in error, by talking of the People and 'the Public as parties to the . transaction. - Thv People .and the Public look on very quietly ;1 they for the most part have not so many Five Hundred Pounds each to play with; and, be sides, they generally like to know what they - give their money _for. It is all very well for Sir Robert Wilson's private friends to keep him froth want, whether his - conduct as an officer has been blameable or not; but the People and the Public will wait till they learn whether he has acted right or wrong. The matter will of course be brought before Parliament, and until it is, there or else where, put in a train of regular discussion, the Public and the Beople will withhold their judg ment and their pence. Certain Gentlemen of Op position politics .are. extremely prone to antici pate legal and Parliamentary investigation, and to condemn or acquit beforehand, as if they were afraid to wait for regular accusation, defence, and proof. This was the course adopted on the Manchester proceedings, and in many other in stances, when it had the effect of producina a partial and temporary clamour; but after the matters had been fully sifted, the Public and the People were at last satisfied that.the clamour was unfounded. Such perhaps may be the case eventually in regard to Sir -Robert Wilson. . [THE TIMES.I Lord Sidmouth has written another letter (See THE SUN of yesterday) about conciliation, for-. bearance, benevolence, &c. among the people of Ireland towards each other. It was he who signed the famous letter of " admonition and in junction," as it was termed, to the Lord Lieu tenant, on the day of his Majesty's departure from Dublin. His Lordship now addresses Sir Abraham Bradley 'King (the seller of high-priced stationery to Government) on his prothotion to the Tank of a Baronet. :In this epistle he con -gratulates Sir Abraham not only on his being cre ated a Baronet, but on the forbearance which he .practised at the late Sheriff's dinner,in suppressing, as is presumed,an anti-Catholic toast. This, at least, is the construction put upon, the words of Lord Sidmoutli in Dublin ; and his Lordship is sup; , posed to have designed by them a " rap over the- knuckles " for Alderman James ; and as usual ,the poor Irish are once more hi ecstacies. Now it is good to be merry—but we should like to see our brethren wise as well as merry. The Secretary of State writes wondrous civil letters in the King's name, and in his own, concerning the people of Ireland : so very civil are his words, that one. would think he had been a pupil of Lady Mary Montague, who recommends civi lity to her daughter as being that sort of circd lating medium which "buys every thing and costs nothing." We 'believe that -fair words will. go as far with the - Irish its with 'Most of their neighbours—but still they are only words. It would behove the people of Ireland to watch the actions of these speech.-makers—what they do for Ireland- as well-as what. they say to her— what -pains s they : take -to fulfil . the- promises which are implied by their verbal complaisance —which of their prejudices they are willing to forego—what punishments they actually in jlict on those of their acknowledged partisans and dependants who break themselves, or en courage others to break, the solemn " injunctions" contained in the letters of their patrons. Let Lord Sidmouth and his colleagues therefore be tried by tests like these. Instead of throwing the riband of "St. Patrick over the shoulder of a Catholic Lord, let them carry the Catholic Ques tion. Instead of scolding an insignificant police magistrate for giving an incendiary toast, let them visit the Royal resentment on him to whom was especially addressed the much Jauded letter of " admo - nition and injunction"—who had there fore official cognizance of the Royal will—We nu an the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, who, with tl at letter in his pocket, and the repr'mand to Alderman Parley fresh in his mind, sat by, and countenanced and drank the toast of the " Glo rious Memory" at the next corporation dinner, whichee attended in his capacity of Viceroy of Irela►ki. These, then are the tests by which.the sincerity of the King's Ministers towards the Irish Catholics ought to be rigorously examined. The rest is " nought but leather and prunella."• [MORNING - lIERALD.] For some time' back the county of Limerick has been in an extremely diAurbed state. Noc turnal bands plundered the more respectable in habitants of fire-arms, and some sanguinary mur ders took place—which were followed by some scarcely less sanguinary proceedings of criminal justice. Severity on the one side,„ and the thirst of vengeance on .the other,. has, it appears,_ produced a lawless organization. amongst the peasantry. They have plunder ed, or. purchased arms and ammunition. to a considerable extent, and a shocking murder has been committed in open day—the victim dragged forth from .the house of a gentleman where he proposed to dine, and put to death by a horrid semblance of capital execution, in a spot 'chosen for the purpose. It may be added, that' the only cause of hatred against the. unhappy object of this barbarous vengeance, wal his being identified with the, laws as chief of the County Police. It is to be observed, however, as some consolation, that this dreadful . strife is confined to a district of. no great extent, and that political feelings have no share in it. It is, common to impute to the Government of Ireland the thief blame. The evil, however, is old and deep rooted, and may be with more truth imputed to Administrations that have long gone by. In a great, part of Ireland society is.mal-organized, and civilization imperfect. ~The land-owners, equally blind to their.own interests and to those of humanity, keep the holders so closely shorn, that agriculture does not improve, and the la bourers want occupation,. or. at least do not re ceive a recompense adequateto their subsistence. Add to this, that there is little.ornoagricultural ca pital,and that thus a period of distress which inEng . land would be but lightly felt, produces in Ireland the-utmost misery. Thus it has lately happened. • —After the peace the rents fell considerably. More recently the aspect of the country appeared favourable, and,the land-owners, or their. agents, endeaVoured again to. screw up the holders to the olkrack 7 rentpoint. They have made the qxpe • riment, and, like other 'torturers, have got no . . . . , thing but blood . . Nothing , Can he 'snore Unjusti fiable—more ab6Minable--than the atrocities.re cently committed:—But there are two, causes to which they may in part be attributed.• In the first place, the adminittration of justice is scarcely impartial. The lower classes look for redress not to the justiceof their case, but to favour. They have no sense of legal justice, or of their haV ing legal rights. In the next place, the agents of the public authority, particularly the lower agents, do their duty upon those of the peasantry whose crimes have consigned them to their, hands in a barbarous, and, wl:at is equally bad in that country, a humiliating manner. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Loan MA - You elect and Sheriffs respecting his Majesty's dining in the city at the ensuing Lord Mayor's Day.—The LORD MAYOR, Elect and Sheriffs presented a Report on having wait ed upon - Lord Sidmouth, for the purpose of ascer taining whether his Majesty would be graciously pleased to honour the City with his presence to dinner at Guildhall on Lord Mayor's day next, 'which stated that Lord. Sidmouth had communi cated to them, by the command of his Majesty, that his Majesty would be upon the Continent on the ensuing'*Lord Mayor's day, and had ex pressed his desire that, the ceremonies and fes tival on that occasion might not be delayed in - consequence. Mr. OLDHAM rose, and after some observations in which he stated that it was at one time in tended to propose the postponement of the city feast until his Majesty's return, but as some doubts might be entertained as to whether they - would then have the honour of his company, and •as by such means the dignity of the city might perhaps i❑ some measure be considered as com promised, it was determined to abandon such in tention, and therefore moved a Resolution, re gretting that the expected opportunity of testify ing their respect and , veneration for their Sove reign was thus necessarily postponed, but hoping that his Majesty would vouchsafe to honour this city with his Royal presence at dinner in the Guildhall on same future occasion. The Resolution being put, was carried unani mously. Mr. Ot.DnAm then moved that a copy of the Resolution should' be transmitted to Lord Sid mouth, to be laid before his Majesty; 11 hich was carried in the same manner. _ . A motion was made that the fine paid by Al derman Garratt to be excused serving the office of Sheriff, which office he tins since consented to execute, should'be repaid to him. Several Members (:•f ihe:COurt spoke in favour of the motion, and . highly eulogized Alderman Garatt, whose services as. Sheriff, it was said, would bemuch,more valuable to the City than any fine could,.,be.. :The motion was carried unanimously. . •. A Petition was - presented from the High Bailiff of Southwark, praying that he might be allowed to-enjoy his Office, with the - same emoluments that his predecessOrs had done. • Mr. LOWNDES moved that the Petition should be referred to a Committee. Mr. FAvr_LL - could not think he discharged his duty, if he- voted for referring a petition to a Committee, the object of which was to give that officer an increase of emolument, without first calling,on him to explain his conduct on occasion of the meeting that was called in Southwark, to take into consideration the dismissal of an Hon. Officer from. the army. Alderman. BnowNE proposed, as an amend ment, that the Committee. should be instructed to take into consideration the High Bailiff's re. fusal to call a,meeting of the inhabitants of South wark.—(After some discussion, the motion, as amended, was carried.) SPAFI I LDi 1110TERS.—A Report from the Corn-. rdttee to whom had been referred the Petition. of Messrs. Beckwith, Brander, Potts, and Rea, praying compensation for the losses they sustained by the Spafields rioters, was read. The Report stated that the Committee had examined the al legations of the Petitions, and recommended that the sum of UM. should be given to the Peti- - tioners in compensation of their losses.--Agreed to. The Loan MAYOR laid before the Court a letter from Christopher Magnay, Esq., Lord. Mayor Elect, consenting to take upon himself that office, which was read and ordered to be entered on the Journals.. _ A Petition was. presented by the Churchwar dens and Overseers, &c. of the Parish of Christ church, complaining of . sundry . .nuisances and obstruction in Nowgate-street, which was read, and referred to the City Lands Committee, to examine and report. The Chaplain to the Lord Mayor was requested to print his sermon preached beforehiS Lordship and the Court on Mieba3l - last; previous to the election of a Lord Mayor fur the year ensuing.. A fill for the _regulation of the Fellow ship Porters was read a first and second time, and it was referredback to the Coal and Corn• Committee, to fill up the blanks, and ordered to be read a third time at the next Court.—The Watch Act was .passed for the year ensuing., ExEctmoN.—(Waterford, Oct. 15.)—0n Sa turday James Finn. was executed, pursuant to his sentence at our late county Assizes, for firing at Patrick Geary, of the Preventive Service, at . Ardmore, in tliis county. About one o'clock he appeared at the drop, attended by several pious gentlemen.—We are informed that he was per..! fectly reconciled to his-fate. lie addressed a ' few words to the surrounding assembly, and con fessed himself guilty of many . offences;6lt not of the charge for which he was about to suffer. .After hanging the usual time he was cut down, and his body was giyen to his. friends. • Account's from Sedbergh state, that during the rapid rise of the. Rathay, last week, a cow was surrounded by the water in Cautley, ,three' miles above Sedbergh, and was brought clown the river. It was carried over two weirs that were across the channel, below one of which there are many ruggts;l„rocks ; it paSsed under two or three bridges, and at last cast up on Sed. ,, ,.vick Holmes, after having been carried down the. torrent six Miles, without injury, - and was.afterwards driven home.—( White/amen Gazette.) irttLAND. LORI) iti:4nor or mtATH's RURAL DEANS OF HIS DIOCESE. Ardbraccan House, Qetobet 1, 1821. IiEVEnEND Szn,—l cannot giVe you a stronger proof of the estimation in which I hold you, or of the confidence I place' in you; than by requesting you to continue to fill the office of Rural Dean at a period of such interest to the Established Church; It is. the reproach of her enemies, that her Clergy have in ge neral become so secularised, that they have lost the stamp of their holy profession ; and we every day hear it admitted by her nominal friends, that it, is not without reason that Secta rians rid Seceders arrogate to themselves the exclusive, praise of that zealous discharge of the pastoral duties, to which every Minister of the Gospel pledges himself, on his having the care of souls committed to him in the Lord. • Without stopping to inquire to what an extent these charges may or may not be founded, I persuade' myself that you feel as warmly as I do, how much it is to be wished that all grounds for them should be completely done away ; and that you will seriously co-operate with me in my humble endeavours to rescue our Ministers from so foul an imputation. As to what depends upon me, what I have chiefly at heart is, to see, befora I shall be called away to' answer for My own stewardship, the estabiishMent of a Parochial Clergy in the diocese, Whdashould manifest the zeal of those Sectaries and Seceders without the fanaticism and excluding spirit that serve only to render their zeal dangerous, and destitute of all Chris tian morality and true _religion. - It would be to see that every officiating Minister, whom I should license, should be distin guished for assiduity and earnestness in preserving all who are committed to his charge from being tainted and led astray by the false teachers who are daily multiplying around us. - These teachers are gaining proselytes from the Established Church ; While-professing to preach her articles of faith, they pervert them, as/they pervert the Scriptures, and deduce from them doctrines, which the pious . and learned compilers of them, and all their most distinguished successors, have uniformly Coh demned as unknown to - the Gospel: I need not observe to you, that we can no longer shut our eyes to our situation, nor be in sensible to the circumstances that - -call forth the renovation of the spirit by . which the early fathers of our church were ac tuated in their successful exertions in the cause of truth, as it is in Clitist . JesuS, - and for the restoration of which to that church in her happier days, we are, under God, so much indebtecl'to theM ; and severe must be the account which every individual amongst us shall have to give; when his ministry is ended with his life, if he shall be found to have discharged that 2.linistry with the torpor and lukewarnmess4hat so evidently bespeak the total absence of that primitive spirit, to which, I tear, we are in a great measure to attribute the apathy, in -all' matters of their ' religion, that characterises some amongst the Protestants di this country, and the like attachment they chew to the pure and re formed church into which they have been baptised. In humble endeavours to avert the evils with which this apathy and indifference threatens, as well in a- civil as a reli gious view, I.rely with confidence in the co-operation of the Rural Deans. It is not alone a report of the state.and condi— thin- of the churches and glebe houses that I expect • from them. These are, undoubtedly, very important objects, and I earnestly hope that neither negligence; nor a too hasty inspection., nor a false delicacy, will stand in the way of the fullest and most faithful report on this • head. You can never be capable of deserving the imputation of which I was ol.) liged to take notice id a late charge; or of condUcting yotir in- spection otherwise than with the most becoming attention to the feelings of your brother incumbents, and to what one Gentleman owes to another. But at the game .time, you will not connive at not pass over any dilapidations you may dis cover, which if suffered to remain unattended to, nrust in the end, -with respect 'to the glebe houses, operate to the distress of the family 'of the clergyman who allows them to take place ; and-, with respect to churches, to entailing a greater expence on the pariSh, - besides the discredit to the Establishment. lam sorry to say, that some returns have been made lo me, on both these points, that render it essential that-1 should. draw your attention to them. The-form of returns usually made to me, previous to every Visitation, will point out the other heads on which I wislt to receive, information from you ; anti I am confident that I may rely on the strictest accuracy-on all of them. The objects connected with the Association in Capel-street, on which I fully explained myself in one of my charges,- I now wish more particularly to recommend to you. The Society I have recommended to each Rural Dean, and on him I - rely for. representing my -expectations to the several officiating Mini sters within his Deanery, than-they should make every exertion to procure the continuance and co-operation of the respectable laymen in their respective Deaneries, and.their presence at the meetihp.appointed by the Rural Dean for the promotion of the important object .of. the Society—that of disseminating the Scriptures, the Book of Common Prayer, and Tracts breathing the genuine spirit, and inculcating the unadulterated doctrines of the Gospel. I could not experience a more. sensible..mortifi cation than to find that, in some instances, the-Rural Dean can not induce the Clergy f his Deanery, .to take any active part in the formation of „those Societies, or to attend the meetings ; and I request that the Clergyman who betrays such a want of. feeling for what he owes to his own character, and - to his sacred profession, must expect to have his name brought by . me before his brethren at the visitation, with the stigma he so justly de- • • serves. . . Our united and unremitted exertions in promoting these Dio cesan Societies are at-present the more imperatively' called for, as the managementof the Hibernian - Bible. Society has,entirely fallen into the hands of Sectaries and Seceders, and as theees tablishment of our-Auxiliary Society, wherever it takes place through the country, has for its immediate object the. increase of the number of their proselytes, and the extension and pre valence of their doctrines. • The Public Catechetical Examinations.- is the next object connected with the Association, to which I wish the Rural Deans to pay particular attention. -To make due preparation for these examinations, it will be necessary to communicate with the several incumbents and officiating ministers, to settle with them at what time, and in what places, the examinations are to be held. On this head, also, I hove to be informed, if any minister neglects to prepare the children of his. parish for the examination, or absents himself from it, as, however incre dible it may appear to be, I am grieved to hear some have done. The last object connected with the Association which I have particularly to recommend to you is the building of school hciuseS and the establishing schools. The funds an the disposal of the Association for these most essential purposes, I am happy to -inform you, are now considerable; and the acting members of the Association are desirous of receiving applications from every place in which the conditions they require can be. com plied with. Mr. O'Connor, of this diocese, one of the Secre taries, will give every necessary information on the subject, and this I hope you will communicate to the several incumbents. The part we shall have to act in this most important branch of our duty, Will require no less prudence and discre tion, than zeal. We shall heve to expect opposition from the Roman Catholic Clergy, who, in the character of Ministers of the Gospel, anathematize all reading or use of it, unless accom panied with notes and explanations, which make if their own Gospel; and not that of the Apostles and' Evangelists ; from' the Sectarians and'. Seceders, who, in establishing Societies, auxiliary to the Hibernian Bible Society, have, as I have al ready observed, for their object the increase of the number of their proselytes, and the extension of their own ptrnieious doctrines ; and from the liberalised opinions and refinements of speculatisti, who, to reconcile the religious differences that un happily distract this country, recommend the summary procet,s of excludin all religionsinstruction from schools instituted for the education of -the middling and --lower classes. In some schools established on this plan, under the sanction of the act ing Minister of this country, and from a public fund, not onlv the appointmentofthe master, but all superintendence over the course of education he pursues, and the principles he inculcates, are taken out of the° hands in which the religious feelings and the wisdom of happier days had placed them, to be vested ex clusively in laymen granting ground for the building of schools; , and •in tiustecs' to be appointed by them ; and the interfe rence the most strongly interdicted, is that of the • Established Clergy. In our endeavours to meet these-difficulties, nothing is to-be done with acrimony or intemperance, or in a spirit of irritating controversy. Let us do our utmost -to promote the establish , ment of the Schools under the regulations of the Association, countenanced and recommended, as they are, by the Bishops and Clergy of the Established Church, antb leave them gradually to work -their own way, as, under the divine influence, the truth is always sure to do. Above all, we shoad make it our earnest prayer to Almighty God, that as he was pleased, after a long night of darkness, to cast the bright beam of light upon ourchurch, and to instruct her' in the heavenly doctrines of the blessed Apostles and Evangelists, so -she .may continue to be established in the .truth of the Holy Gospel, and all within her pale . may be for ever preserved from being carried away with every blast of vain doctrine. • I am, Reverend Sir, your loving Brother,.

The Inquest excited considerable interest, and the Jury room was- completely crowded. ."• Mr. John Parker, of Northumberland-milft, ..s,frand, deposed, that about three o'clock on Wednesday aft'ernoOn he was pass ing through ti).a. - Strand, and observed the eala§4n with - an en= ormous quantity of luggage. On looking cc viiitness same . the near fore wheel break away, and 'the camage overturn, Part of the stowage on the top fell against a hotrie. There were a great many bales- and other packageslon the roof. At first it was doubtful whether any person was untleine..•ith; but on cutting away the straps which fastened tli"e gage, they discovered the deceased lying on his face-Uncle the side of the caravan, the edge of which was across his back, his head and arms were free, but the lower extremities were quite under. The carriage was instantly raised, and the deceased extricated; he was black in the face, and• very dirty with the mud. He was conveyed to Mr. Stringer's, an apothecary, where he breathed two or three times, and itr a few minutes expired. An attempt - was made to bleed him, .but blood would not flow. The van 'presented a frightful ? .p., pearance, from the bulk of stowage. It was not struck by any other carriage, nor did it • run against the post. It was a dead - break of the axletree, occasioned by the weight ; in fact, it was the load of a Waggon pladed on the carriage and - wheels of a coach. The package on the top was very Li oi. Mr. James Starkie, medical aSsistant to .i‘lr„ Stringer, of the - Strand, corroborated the evidence of .the last witness as to ,the deceased-being brought to their shop. There was a contusion of his head, vhich, in his Opinion, caused death. The weight falling on him would also cause death. Mr. Jacobs, (if No. 482, Strand, confirmed ..the ericienceof the first witness, but added he did not think the 'pressure carts- , ed the death of the deceased, as .the caravan fell on the.stone affixed to the post, which upheld it. He donsidered the contu. . sion on the head caused death, as the weight of the.ca:rriage did not rest on him altogether. Mr. Parker, the first witness, here observed, .it certainly I did rest on him, as he could not extricate him till the vad was eased. John Hillier, the driver of the van, stated that .it set out from the King's Head, Leadenhall-street,- and belonged to Messrs. Blake and Co. of Salisbury. There was about three thousand lbs. weight in and out ; that on the roof-was about bOOlbs. • weight.
