SPIRIT I'a3LIC JO UIVNALz". The political shell which has burst so o pportunely among the Liverpool Tory slanderers seems to fill the Conservatives with alarm, lest, we presume, the confla pration should spread and burn out other foul ealum niators. The system of libel and personal detraction has been notoriously the dernier resort of the TOries for several years past. A " Parson's paper," and a certain northern monthly periodical, commenced the system pending the Queen's I real. It has been in dustriously continued from that time to the present year, and now begins to fail the Tories. We recom mend the Reformers in all the provincial. districts, where this vile warfare against private reputation has been carried on, to leave no methods untried to detect and punish, vi et armis, the slanderers and liars. The London Standard is indignant that we or any country paper should give publicity to the Liverpool correspon dence superscribed " private and confidential." Verily, when one party outrages all the rules of civilized con test—when foul fighting is resorted to—we thought the other "rparty was absolved from all conventional rules. We give credit to the persons in Liverpool; be they who they may, who effected the explosion of this Tory conspiracy against private character. The Liverpool Chronl'ele has always courageously grappled with the local liars and slanderers, and was fully justified in routing the gang by the pu acation of the letters, however procured. Society owes tG none .a greater debt of gratitude than. to those JoUrnalists or fearless advocates of the popular cause who wage war with such assassins as the skulking scoundrels who, under the mask of the Public Press, calumniate their neigh bows - unseen and irresponsibly. We make no obser vation on the instrument selected by the Liverpool. Tories for their despicable and cowardly object, having n o wish to rake up the proceedings of the courts of law and Many unhappy occurrences in Scotland. - We deal only with the Liverpool Standard. This provincial joufnal has been distinguished for its most foul aid unfounded slanders . on. Mr. Shepherd, Mr. William ltathhone, and other virtuous and liberal politi cal leaders of Liverpool. • Shareholders have been called upon as responsible - for the calumnies, and have deified their connection with the scandalous per petrators on their . " Word's of honour." .Is such a vile system to be toleiated in a, civilized and Christian country ? No ;we rejoice in the signal exposure of the conspirators, and despicable must be the cause which needs such infamous support. Lord Sandon and the Gladstones, and that " gentleman of the press," the Marquis of Salisbury, are called upon to disown all confederacy with the journalist, whatever political aid they may have derived from his slanders of their opponents. The gentlemen have committed themselves, and they. cannot justly complain that those who have ,been victims of the conspiracy give pub licity to their quarrels. We have to apologise for inac curacies in our article of yesterday on this subject. We, find that the Liverpool Standard is not the only news paper property that the Marquis of Salisbury pos sesses, for we are credibly informed that he is, or was, also, the largest, if not the sole proprietor of another Tory paper at Hertford, called the County Press; and we beg also to be allowed to take this opportunity of correcting another mistake we fell into yesterday, when we stated, that no one who was acquainted with his Lordship's talents -would suspect him of contributing leading articles to any journal. In this, it appears, we were wrong ; for we find it is noto rious to all who reside in Hertfordshire, that much of the personal abuse of Mr. Duncombe and his supporters, during the severe contest for the represen tation of the borough of Hertford, as well as the lead ing articles in defence of gipsies, bludgeon men, four teen-days' leases, and electioneering devices, are be lieved to emanate from the pen of a most noble speci men of hereditary wisdom. But if any one should doubt the fact, let him only read the cross-examina tion of Mr. George Nicholson, Lord Salisbury's con fidential solicitor at Hertford, given on the trial of Riissell Davis for perjury in the King's Bench, in 1834, after the Noble Marquis's nominees, Lords Ma hon and Ingistre, had been unseated by a Committee of the House of Commons for bribery and corruption, on a petition of Mr. Duncombe. " [George Nicholson, cross-examined by Clarkson.] " . Q. Are you the proprietor of the Conservative news paper at Hertford? A. No, lam not. " Q. Have you written in that paper ?—A. I may have done so occasionally. " Q. Have you not written in it for years ?—A. I may have added to the leading articles, but I have not seen them. " Q. Will you swear you never wrote one The responsibility of the leading article may have fallen upon myself, but I never wrote the whole of it. • " Q. Do you mean to say that if there were any libel lous parts, you should not be answerable ?—A. No, I was advised with whether they were libelous or not. Q. I donot mean whether your professional ingenuity was applied to, to determine what was or was not libellous, but have you not been a frequent writer of the leading ar ticle in The County Press ?—A. Occasionally I have sent an article ; many leading articles were sent in My writing, but they,were not my composition. " Q. Were they the composition of higher persons in society than yourself?-- A.. No,' they were the contribu tions of different parsons. Q. Upon your oath were not frequently the leading articles the composition of persons higher in society than yourself ?—A. Yes, they maze have been. " Q. Do you know a place called Hatfield ?—A. Yes. " Q. Lie you know how many of them came from hence? —A. I cannot say. " Q. You do not know that any articles came from Hatfield?—A. No, I do not say that. Q. Who are the proprietors of the County Press F A. I decline answering that question. Q. Do vou refuse answering ?• privilege, an'il lam uot entitled to answer." Who calf marvel, after these discoveries, that such " nobles" as Salisbury, Lyndhurst, and Abinger (Sir James Searlett . was- Lord Mahon's counse l aaainst Russell Davis), should vote against the names of Newspaper Proprietors being registered ? Publicity would, indeed, be extremely inconvenient.' We shall pursue this subject. The Peers partly preserved their Schedule A boroughs by a pocket and an illicit inter course with the . provincial Press. We are informed of several hitherto unknown facts of lordly "gentle men of the Press," which we shall make known. With regard to the objections. of the London Standard to the terms used by us in speaking, of the late Mr. Sadler, we may have used a stronger epithet than, on reflection, we . 1 light choose to apply to a man who, with many failings, l had, no doubt, some redeeming qualities. But we quarrel not with the dead, and therefore have no wish to revive discussion on the subject of that gentleman. But the Liverpool slan derers shall receive no mercy from us ; - and all we shall add is, that we hopo they will g i ve the Liberals the benefit of a few moreletteis " pri\ate and confidential." • —Morning Chronicle. We have observed with much pleasure that, at the nominat:on of candidates at Warwick, both Mr. Can-. ning and his opponent declared themselves strongly opposed to the Poor Law.A.et. reception their declarations met from the Constituency t of .Warwick: demonstrates that, however politics may divide the in habitants Of that town, they unite to a man in con demning the heartless provisions of that abOminable statute. This is, however, but one among hundreds of proofs that are, daily occurring of the fact that the people are at length roused to a proper sense of the wanton cruelties the Poor Law Act inflicts upon those whom sickness or unavoidable reverses may reduce to poverty. We never doubted for an instant that so soon as the operation of the Act was seen and felt, every hu mane and sane man would speak as we have always spoken of it from its first appearance until now. It was only e in consequence of Lord .Althorp and .Lord 13 rougham and the other Ministers grossly anisrepre seining the nature - and objects of the Act , that it was suff ere d to pass i nto law. We warned the public that in the prison workhouses of the Coln Trwsioners, husbands would be separated from their wires, and parents from their children. Lord '—A. Yes, it is their _. . , . ...... ... isrougrain upon this put himself into a rage, and deeivred that he did not believe the Commission is had even dreamed of perpetrating acts of so great cruc:ty. Lord Brougham was b e lieved,• and we were &beloved. Events, however, have proved that we, not Lora' Brougham, spoke the truth. And this was the difficulty we had throughout t o conten d w i t h. Few could brim,'themselves to believe, esp ec i a ll y i n t h e face of the - bold a ssertions of the Ministers, that a tenth part of the ertwir,f and injustice we described could be a imei at under the plausible pretence of reforming the abuses that had crept into the administration of the Poor Laws. The deception practised by the promoters of the measure is now detected. and the result has been precisely what we anticipated. We are more than ever 'convinced that it requires only that the system which the Act provides for the degradation of the mo ral, and the deterioration of the physical, condition of the'peor should be generally understood, in 'order to insure it universal execration. The very men. who are now loudest in defending the Act will, by and'hy, be most clamorous in demanding its repeal, and the time is not very far distant when the Whigs will receive the reward they richly merit for the frauds they practised upon Parliament, in order to insure the passing of one of the most disgraceful measures that ever emanated from a Christian Legislature.— Time ;. The denouement of the drama in Spain—the estab lishment of a dentoeratic Constitution—is an event of most cheering presage to the Liberals of Europe, and will, no doubt, usher in similar exhibitions in the neighbouring- States. It' seems to bz a happy provi sion of Providence that despotism is (loomed to work out its own destruction, and wherever it attempts to rear its head we may always expect a more rapid move ment towards 'the perfect establishment of public liberty, than where moderate Governments, allow the passions of the people to rest undisturbed, and lull into repose their natural longing after liberty. Of this we have numerous examples in. history, and the present attitude of Spain is a well-marked illustration., .Had the Carlists left the Queen's Government undisturbed, and had she herself not prematurely exhibited a predi liction for tyranny, . under the mask 6f' moderation— for moderation in any monarchy is seldom more than a mask—she might gradually have wound round the , Spanish people the chains of absolutism ; but for tunately for Spain the enemies of her liberty roused her to a timely sense of the danger which threatened, and bursting from her trammels, she now stands free to combat with her foes, and her triumph is cer tain. In France we are in daily expectation of simi lar demonstration—Louis Philippe, if he escape from assassination, will survive his . own dynasty, and be cast out of the land he has betrayed. Like Charles Dix, Miguel, and Carlos, he will serve as a salutary example to tyrants, and attract, as to a focus, the execration of mankind. France is not accustomed to wait the move ment of other States before she strike for her own free dom. Nations should not only profit by their own experience, but also by the example of one another. The failure of the attempt in France to consolidate republican institutions round a monarchy, should serve as a caution to Spain to exact the utmost possible se curity from the ruling powers before she invest them with the guardianship of her newly recovered rights. There is a sympathy between tyrants which causes not only a similitude of action, but also enlists a mutual support whenever a people is to be oppressed. Would nations but follow their example of co=operation, the liberties of mankind would he speedily consolidated on a basis which might bid defiance to all assault. It is gratifying to perceive the progress which all the States of Europe are making in establishing this bond of bro therhood. It is rumoured that in consequence of the recent occurrences in Spain the Monarchs of Europe are about to hold a general congress ; but whatever may be the result of their deliberations, we expect that each will find sufficient employment in opposing the movement in.his. own state, to preclude the possibility of a crusade against the liberties of others.. Well may we exult that England, in being rescued from Tory domina tion, is saved from becoming a party to another unholy alliance against general liberty. The beneficial effect of a liberal Government in England is already mani fested by the hesitation and embarrassment felt by Louis Philippe's Ministers, on hearing the declaration of Lord Palmerston, that England would not interfere between the Queen and the Juntas. The minions of the King of the French knew they dared not interfere to put down the Juntas without the concurrence of England ; and thus; even by standing neuter, and hold ing other Cabinets in check, England may afford the Spanish people the opportunity of consolidating their institutions, and thus offer an atonement for the wrong which, under Tory auspices, she has often committed on public liberty.—Morning Advertiser. The Ministerial morning and evening press indulged themselves yesterday in a very unprofitable display of meanness and malignity. A difference which arose between the late editor of the Liverpool Standard and some of the proprietors of that journal having pro duced a correspondence,. strictly private, among the parties, the Liverpool Chronicle, acting. in the spirit, although certainly not in the interest, of the present Administration, obtained surreptitiously a copy of that correspondence, and, in defiance of an express warning from the individuals concerned, that the letters were private, persisted in the base object for which they had been dishonestly procured, and published them to the world. At this conduct on - the part of the Liverpool . Chronicle we are not surprised. The mercenary influ ence of the till was predominant, and the opportunity was not to be lost of proclaiming the existence of a schism among the proprietors and conductors of so for midable-a rival as the Standard. It wasnothonourable certainly. It was not manly. It was not honest. But what of that ? There was a chance that it might turn out to be profitable, and when have Whig- RadiCal journals, or Whig-Radical statesmen either,, failed to recognise this as the most, or rather the only, important considetation ? We willingly, therefore, leave the Liverpool dealer in stolen goods to whatever profit he may derive in the commercial community in which he lives from his dirty traffic. It is with the Whig-Radical press of London, the metropolitan imitators of his crime, without the. apology of his temptation, that we have to do. Why should the Whig-Radial Chronicle of London, and the Globe, and the Courier, and The Sun patronise a petty lar ceny, the proceeds of which are not likely to 'find the way into their pockets ? It must he mere instinct in the case of the latter journals. The thing was mean, have, and vile. It was a thing which no gentleman, which no honourable man, which no man even of common honesty, could have done„ by any possibility ; and, therefore, such is the miserable and grovelling in stinct of Whig-Radicalism, the Whig-Radical journals were compelled, by the imperNifis law of their political being; to do it. The correspondence, for sake of which so many Whig-Radical journals have sacrificed whatever character they possessed for honour and integrity, re lates exclusively •to a pecuniary or proprietary diffe rence among certain individuals concerned in a Con servative journal. It affords no information upon po litical, subjects, unless it be that the Liverpool Stan dard, under the conduct of its late editor, had advanced considerably in ,eirculation and influence, a fact, by-tile-bye, already well known to the world. It affords no ground even of personal attack upon the political opponents of the present Administration, un less there be a ground of attack, as the Lib era l orga ns of the 'Melbourne Ministry seem indeed to think, in the disclosure that the Marquis of Salisbury, and the. of the Gladstones contributed some respectable family portion of the funds for the establishment in Liverpool of a Conservative journal. The fact is one which, we venture to say, the parties concerned never had the slightest anxiety to conceal. There could be no motive for such concealment other than that modesty which makes some men anxious to be unseen when doing good. It is a very high honour to the distinguished Noble men, and to the respectable Gentlemen named in this correspondence, to have taken so much interest ill the Conservative cause as they evidently have done , and t o h ave b een i n part t h e means o f p r oviding for it " powerful, efficacious, and successful a reinforcement in Liverpool as that which the Standard has un tlonably afforded. ques- We hope this meritorious ex ample will be extensively followed. The Whig cal Peers and C ommoners who possess t h e means are more attentive, we fear, to this field of party exertion than their Conservative opponents. We recommend the latter to be more active and vigorous than they have yet shown themselves in such enterprizes, where ever an opportunity can be found of engaging in them w ith the least chance of suc cess . The rancour, ma lignity, and unprincipled baseness manifested upon the present occasion by. the Whig Radical Press must show to Conservative noblemen and gentlemen who take the trouble to reflect ever so little on the subject, how much th Destructivcs dread, and how anxious they are, to prevent, all such efforts. This is one of the best reasons that could be given why such efforts should be made in increased number, and with renovated vigour: The anxiety of the Whig-Radical Yress to deter Conservative noblemen and gentlemen from assisting by their wealth in the establishment of Con servative journals, where they are required, may be es timated with tolerable accuracy from the delirium and self-forgetfulness which that morbid eagerness has pro duced in the present instance. The Chronicle insinu ates that Lord Salisbury voted for the rejection of the clause in the Newspaper Stamp Bill which required all the proprietors of a newspaper to be registered, for the sake of protecting himself from exposure as one of the proprietors of the Liverpool Standard. To say that the Noble Marquis i 3 not, and that he never was, a proprietor of the Liverpool Standard, would only be !o convict the Chronicle of falsehood, a very unneces sary and useless labour. But it may serve to show the importance ,which is assigned to this attack on the Marquis of Salisbury, and the desperate and reckless spirit in which it is pursued, for no other purpose than that of deterring other Conservative Noblemen and Gentlemen from a similar course in their several districts, if we state that the registra tion clause, which would not have affected the Mar quis of Salisbury, or any other of the gratuitous con tributors to the establishment of the Liverpool Standard, in the slightest degree, would, in fact, have exposed more than one proprietor of the Morning Chronicle to a publicity from which they desire to shrink. The Ministerial journals ought to look oat home before they indulge in taunts upon the supposed desire of a man of rank to conceal a proprietor Ship which he never held: There may be other and more disgraceful motives than' the pride of rank and station to make a newspaper proprietor wish to remain in the dark. This consideration would certainly have occurred •to some at least of our Ministerial contemporaries on the present occasion, had not their too passionate .'pur suit of a great party . object produced a temporary self forgetfulness.—Morning Post. CORONER'S INQUESTS. DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Yesterday afternoon an in quest was hold at tho Barley Mow, Duke's-row, Pimlico, before Mr. limns and a respectable jury, on view of the body of Joseph Biggs, aged 54, tapman of the house. Ver dict—" Died from having hanged himself when in a state of temporary insanity." THE LATE FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.--Yester day an adjourned inquest was held at the Gun, Gun Dock, Wapping, on the body of Mary Ann Crannia, aged 33, who was drowned on Monday se'nnight, in disembarking from the Enterprise Hull steamer. The evidence adduced on the former occasion was briefly that of Mr. Jos. Crannis, the husband of the deceased ; John Crannis, his brother ; and Mr. Sadley, a gentleman who was in the boat in which the deceased was about to embark. Mr. Sadley stated that he was taken out into the stream by the Enterprise, from Fresh-wharf, having gone on board of her to look for the Gravesend steamer, when she suddenly sheered off. When off the Tower-wharf a boat was called for them to go ashere, and the deceased and her husband wished to go into the boat also. The vessel was stopped, and the boat came alongside. Witness got safely into it, but had not sat down. Mr. Crannis followed, and the deCeased was in the act of stepping from the ladder to the boat when the paddle-wheels went' suddenly round, and the water threw the boat up. The deceased fell into the water, her husband was thrown out of the boat, the two watermen were " canted" out of the boat, and witness was thrown into the head-sheets, where he caught hold of the gunwale, and by his weight, he believes, prevented the boat from being cap sized. It was filled with water, but did not sink. Mr. Crannis regained the boat, but, missing his wife, jumped into the water again, and dived after her. The steamer never stopped her way, nor made any attempt to save those in the water. Mr. John Crannis stated that he went on board the Enterprise to proceed to Hull, and his brother and sister in-law accompanied him to see him off. When out in the stream, a boat was called to take his brother and sister-in law and the last witness on shore, ar.d h's sister-in-law was the last who descended. While doing so, witness heard one of the men say, " Look sharp, we are just going to set the steam on." The vessel at that moment went on, and his sister-in-law fell between the boat and the vessel, and the boat was swamped. Witness begged of the captain to put him on shore, and told him he had drowned his sister-in-law and others ; but the vessel kept- on her course down the Pool, though the people in the vessels around hallooed to the captain, that he had drowned several persons. Witness was put ashore at Rotherhithe. He attributed the accident to gross neglect on the part of those who had the manage ment of the steamer. George Everhard, a waterman, corroborated this evidence. The boat was a large skiff, of from 20 to 30 tons burthen. In answer to a question by one of the jury the wit ness said that passengers were always embarked and dis• embarked from boats in a very great hurry ; sufficient time to prevent danger was hardly ever given. By the CORONER—If a boathook had been let down and the boat hooked on, the woman would have been saved ; but there was no time alloWed for here getting i n the boat. George Webb, pilot to the Enterprise, was allowed to make a statement on oath, after being cautioned by the Coroner not to say anything to criminate himself. He state that he knew the people were on board, and that they wanted to go on shore, but he had given orders that they should not be allowed to do so until the vessel hadzot down as far as the London Docks. The vessel had just cleared the Eel Schuytz tier off Billingsgate, and he was casing the vessel to clear the Limekiln tier, when he turned round to see Waterwitch, another steamer, belonging to the same company, and he then observed the skiff alongside. He saw she would be swamped, and instantly gave orders to stop the vessel, which was done. He then suffered the vessel to drift down the Pool, but put no way on her. Webb then appealed to Mr. Crannis and the watermau pre sent. whether it was not tlleir own fault. Crannis—l don't know what you mean. - I am sure it, was not my fault, and you are now adding insult to injury. Webb then went on to defend himself, and to charge the waterman .with falsehood in the most impudent manner, till stopped by the observations of the Coroner and Jury. Mr. Joseph Crannis, the husband of the deceased, said that while swimminr , about in search of his wife he saw the steamer go down the river at a rapid rate. In answer to a .question by the Coroner, - • Webb said it was his duty to see if any boats were near the ship before he gave orders to go on ; but that on this occasion "he ought to have eyes behind him to see the skiff." Mr. Riddle, a juror—The worst part of the case is tha you lowered no boat, neither did you stop the vessel. . . . Webb—l had no boat. (He afterwards said he had a boat, but that.he forgot to lower it.) The CORONER said he thought that there was no case made out to render any one criminally liable ; if any thing, it was a case for a deodand ; but he thought the paities who were leaving the vessel were much. to blame themselves for not letting the pilot know 'that they were going on shore. ThomaS Gardener, an engineer on board the Water- Witch, stated that he saw the boat come astern of the En terprise after the accident. The Enterprise was then going very slowly. By a Juror—The steamer Enterprise did not stop after the accident ; she was gOing very slow, and it would have been easy to stop her. James Torrington deposed he.was in the skiff, and gave an account of the accident precisely as related by the first witness, and added that.' when the boat was driven away by the swell he was left hanging to the ladder, and no one assisted him. The men on board the steamer saw him, but never lent him a hand. He had great difficulty in saving his life Were he could recover himself so as to get on board the steamer. Thc'CouoNEr. thought the blame rested with the party who wanted to go on shore ; they had wanted prudence, and suffered for it. The husband of the deceased repeated that the crew of the steamer were perfectly aware of his going, and told him to make haste ; they hailed the boat, and knew well he was going. The Juiy then retired to consider of their verdict, and after an absence of two hours, during which an animated discussion took place, as we understood, as to the amount of deodand, returned into the inquest-room, when Mr. Robert Forsyth, the f4reman, read the following verdict —" We return the verdict of Accidental Death, with a deodand of 1001. on the EnlerpriBe steamer, and the jury cannot separate without expressing their reprehension of the negligent conduct of the people on board the steamer on that occasion, first for calling the boat to Come along side ; and secondly, for improperly setting the paddles in motion before Richard Sadley, Joseph Crannis, and Mary Ann Crannis, were safely in the boat, and the jury trust that measures will be taken to, prevent the recurrence of a similar melancholy accident." ...... The CORONER said it was a very proper verdict, and would he believed have the effect of showing that the lives of his Majesty's subjects were under proper protection, and that juries were determined to do their duty, and sift such cases to the bottom. lie thanked them for the very great attention they had paid to the case through the long in quiry that had taken place. Mr. Crannis and Mr. Pelham also thanked the jury ; the former was much affected, and the latter, his solicitor, said 0 for himself and his client they were satisfied that the ver dict had met the justice of the case. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A YOUNG GENTLEMAN.— Last evening, at eight o'clock, an inquisition was taken before Mr. Payne, the Coroner for the jurisdiction of the city of London, and a respectable Jury, assembled at the . Duke of Clarence Tavern, London-road, Southwark, on view of the body of a young gentleman, named John Squire Carey, a youth of very promising abilities, who terminated his existence by shooting himself through the head with a horse pistol. Miss Ann Watts, spinster, stated that she was living with her father, who kept the house, N 0.9, in the London . - road. The deceased and his mother had occupied apart-_ ments there for several years past. Ile was seventeen years of age .on Saturday last. Ile generally occupied his time in literary pursuits, of which he seemed to be particularly fond. He was generally regular in his habits. Between twelve and one o'clock on Monday morning last witness saw him-come down into the garden and fetch some water. Nothing unusual then appeared to be the matter with him. In about a quarter of an hour afterwards witness had occa sion to go up stairs, and saw the deceased on the landing of the second floor, by the door of his sittingloom. • He had a large pistol in his hand, and said to witness, " Ann, shall I shoot myself?" and directly raising his arm to his head a smoke in an instant spouted out against his face, accom panied by a loud report,-and he fell on the floor. Witness looked at him for a moment when she saw the blood streaming from his head, and directly ran down stairs and informed her mother what had- occurred. The pistol he shot himself with was one that belonged to his father. The pistol was here produced to the Jury. It was a large brass-barrelled horse-pistol, with a spring bayonet. Mr. Thomas Watts, the uncle of the last witness, de posed that for the last month he had observed a wildness in the look and manner of the deceased. His conduct on many occasions had been unaccountably strange ; he had thrown up the window of his apartment at night, and called out " Fire—murder—police," and seemed pleased with the alarm he created. His conduct did not appear to be the result of any vicious propensity, but of a weakness of in tellect that had lately come upon him. He had held a situation at the King's printing-office, from which he was discharged some time ago. Mr. W. Leddymain, a next-door neighbour of the de ceased, stated on hearing of the dreadful occurrence he went up stairs, and saw the deceased lying on the floor quite dead. On the mantelpiece was a paper, inscribed, in the hand-writing of the .deceased, " My dear mother ; I intend to shoot myself." The deceased was a. young man of great literary attainments,, and was .the son of Dr. Carey, editor of the last edition of " Ainsworth's Dic tionary," the " Gradus ad Parnassuin," &c. He was of re served and studious habits, and not, like other boys, fond of the sports of youth. - The CORONER briefly summed up,' when the Jury re turned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity." An inquest was held last night, at the Rising Sun, Charles -street, Grosvenor-square, before Mr. Moos, on the body of Charles Bowers, aged 17, who was drowned while bathing, on Monday evening, in the Serpentine river. Henry Dunn, of No. 1, Wigmore-street, aged fifteen, stated that on Monday evening, about half-past eight o'clock, he went to bathe in the Serpentine, at the part on the Knights-bridge side, near the railings at the Hyde Park corner end. Witness met the deceased there. . They were total strangers, but as both had come for the same purpose, they got into talk, and he learnt deceased could not swim—witness could. Witness swam into deep water ; and; on diving, while under water, struck his head against something 'which he at first supposed to be a post, but found it was deceased, who was then struggling under water. The boys on the bank called to him what was the matter, and shouted for the boats. The place where he struck against the deceased is ten feet deep. The boats came immediately. In less than a quarter of an hour the deceased was got to the receiving -house, where two sur geons were in attendance. • Mr. Woolley, surgeon, stated that it was impossible -to restore animation. Application had been made to the Go vernment to have the river drained and levelled for the protection of bathers and skaiters. . Verdict " Accidental death." FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

THE MILLION LOAN.—We took a slight glance, yester day, at the right reverend and very reverend vultures which glutted their maws on this charitable loan, which the coun try granted to stay clerical starvation.
