Let them come to an understanding with each other on the subject, and forthwith get up public meetings, and make other de monstrations in favour of an Extended Suffrage, Trien nial Parliaments and Vote by Ballot. Let public opi nion only be decidedly expresk , ed before the meeting of Parliament in favour of these p.-inciples, and we pledge ourselves that ere the, lapse of s.'x months they will be made the law of the land. There must be an inznze diale dissolution ; that is inevitable ," and if Lord Mel bourne only see that th e country i s re. solved on obtain ing the measure of Reform compreht 'cded in these principles, he will make them his own, and, appealing to the people on them, a Parliament will be rett...rned which,. instead of his present majority of from 15 L 20, will give him a majority of at least 100.

By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent. riIHE CHUNK PATENT STOVE, invented by Mr R. PROSSER, Civil Engineer,is distin gabbed' from all others by its entire freedom fr om dust or smoke,its great economy , of fuel, and its perfect safety from Ere. It has:been a source of great comfort in the nursery and End-room of he invalid, affording an uniform temperature through the day and night, with only one supply, while the m os t delicate test cannot detect anything arising from its use which is injurious to health—it me rely warms th e air without de c omposing it; and , as there is no dc . ior, none of the gases generated by combustion can pass in to the apartment. Wherever warmth is required, this Stove is applicabk. It is as desirable , for the drawing-room as the laundry ; for warming greenhouses it possesses extraordinary claims, the v erye great expense o of full, f building flues, and afterwards the ic(!n eunsption being avoided. For workshops and ships' cabins it is invaluable ; it requires attention only once in tventy-foar hours, during which time the cost will not exceed twopence. Price, Plain, 3/. ; Fluted, 3/. 10s.

THE Medical Effects o f Steel, as a strengthener and restorative, have been known for ages to excel those of all other articles of the Materia Med.ca, and in this age oint of t h e uxury and dissipation, when t he indiscretions of youth disappex_ Pectations of maturity, it is not e to be wondered a medicie of such ef fi cacy as SEDDON'S g of nuine F,S STEEL should have attracted the attention of the fu mech. eat men in Europe. When the most imp . ortant functions of li;e are suspended, and those ...ho are invalid s by in h e ritance or morudence are reduced to the mo-t deplorable a ate of nervous debility, it is not in despair that relief :s to he fourd. It has been ascertain ^d, beyond a doubt, that these circumstances ate o,ensioned by a gene ral or partial relaxation or \ye tknesses in either sex; and it is equally certain that SEDDON'S LOZENGES are the best, if not the only remedy ever discovtied for this species of debility. When taken into the stomach, they imr ediately clause themselves ike a vapour through every pore, producing effects at once delight ful, salutary, and permanent.

The work is in the form of a diatry ; full of particulars, apparently written at the moauent, on the spot - where they were collected. There is so much real nature and truthful observation in this accou at of a sporting excursion amongst the Rocky Mourn%ainF, that it frequently takes a turn of poetical enthusiasm, of which the author himself was, p e rh a p s , wholly lancons'cious. There is also much variety and in formation of a practical kind in these volumes ; and they will be especially acceptable to naturalists, on ac count of the occasilnal descriptions of the animals with which the regions t r aversed by the writer abound, and the full catalogue whiab he gives in the appendix, of quadrupeds and birds. On the whole, the work forms a valuable addition to the,' library of American travels. DARING ROBSERY.--Abollt nine o'clock on the evening of Saturday last, some thieves, who must have been well acquainted with the arrangements of the house, succeeded in stealing from the Salutation Tavern here, twenty sovereigns, 301. in notes, and one gold, and two silver watches. The money and watches were kept up stairs, and were a bstracted when the house was well attended by its usual frequenters. About ten o'clock on the same evening two girls found a le/. and a 51. note iu Powis-street, and on Monday, with that honesty for which the generality of the inhabitants of 'Woolwich are characterised, sent round the bell -man to ascertain who had lost them. The landlord of the Salutation, being aware that he had been robbed of notes of the amount advertised, made application for them, and they were handed over to him. The girls received 3/, as a S ri I P.—Yesterday reward for their hon est y .—lVool wich Advertiser. l 4EP afternoon, a steam ship was floated out from the dock where she was R t ES h l a D lf- E p N as T t STEAMthree o'clo c k, t hi s magn ifi cent built, at Messrs.

The tide was not sufficiently high on Saturday to float her, and great was the disappoint ment to the assembled people. Since that time she has been considerably lightened. Yesterday the tide was sufficiently high to float her, and half an hour before high water she was towed out of the dock by three Greenwich steamers, and proceeded down the river to Blackwall, where she was safaly moored. A fleet of small steamers, viserries, and other craft followed the Prasi dent, which will remain in her present situation for a few weeks, when she will proceed to Liverpool to take in her Inaehinery. THE LITERARY GROCER.—A grocer who , naturally enough for his trade, Lad retired on a plutn-- bamg toe rever:ze of one makin t many, since in thts case many pium3 had made One—took to a literary torn to amuse himself in his retirement. O ne d ay a t table, SOille commercial gentlemen m ent io ned t h e town of Stockton-upon:i'ees.

If we desired to expose the inherent fallacy of the Corn-laws,. by tracing them to a principle of consum mate absurdity, it would scarcely be better done'than by adopting the. generall proposition laid down by the Duke of Rutland at the great Leicestershire agricultural Meeting , on Friday last. His Grace. affirmed, that so long as there is a nationsl debt to be provided for, and " so long as the agricultural labourer and manufacturing meclunie are dependent on their wages for, the neces sities of life, so long it is impossible for :any interest of this country to compete with the cheap produce of the foreienyr, unless there be some just and proper protec tion." The absurdities of this proposition are like the heads and bits of plass in a kaleidoscope ; hold it up to the light; and turn it round, and every fresh phase is a beautiful combination of incongruities. That which damages the prosperity of a country without a national debt will also damage the prosperity of a country with with a national debt. The only difference which the debt makes is, that it enhances the occasion for pros perity. The' Corn-law repealers are so because.' they believe the present system detrimentali to national prosperity. Could the Duke have! proved the • fact to be otherwise, that would; have been germane to the matter. As the coee; stands, the pretended aphorism has no relation to the -question, unless it be 'taken as a constructive threatening that, if the landlords be not let alone in their monopoly, they will fall. foul.of the national cresli-, tor, If the other condition of his Grace's:prapositioni be true, viz., that Corn laws must exist so long as thosq who toil live .upon the wages of their toil, we are indeed in a hopeless -condition. But it, ,does not appear wl& , . any biller permanent result of the present canstitutiort of things might not. have been introduced with equal prapriety.. If might have been said that we must . have Corn•laws so long as the moon persists in her changes; or as people stand on their feet and not their beads, or as lords make speeches not absolutely full of absolute wisdom. Certain it is, that men whose poverty compeli them to work, must always live (so long as they ,c; a keep alive) upon the wages of their work. The Noble Reasoner assumes the entire question at issue. He takes for granted that wages go further with dear food than with cheap food, and that the work of labour is in creased by diminishing the market for its produC tions. The Chairman of the Leicestershire Agricul tural Association is for the protection of all interests. Can be not see that universal protection (as it is called) is no protection at all ? It allows each to put his hand to a certain depth in his neighbour's pocket, allowing his neighbour the same privilege of fethouring his pocket in turn. It is the old story of the monkeys feening at Exeter 'Change, every one with his paw in the platter of the next, but not a morsel more- of food in the menagerie ; nay, much wasted in the thievish operation. His Grace can be little acquainted with business to suppose that people thrive by turning away all customers but those of their own household. Tire tendency of his system is to convert the nation into one of Robert Oe en's squared co mmunities—self -feeding, self employing, self-paying, and every way, as the Scotch say of a house, " self-containing." " The cheap produce of the foreigner ;" his Grace seems to think, there is some crime in the foreigner's possession of " cheap produce," and in an Englishman's looking at it wistfully, with his hands in his pockets counting his cash. Why, if not the foreigner's " cheap" produce, what should we take of him? His dear produce, or nothing at all ? It is by the exchange of that produce, which nature or skill have enabled it to produce cheaply, that every nation thrives. By diversifying the facilities for cheap production, Providence has blended the interests of nations, and rendered them mu tually dependent.- In spite of the sneer of the Bishop of Exeter—sneering at his Maker's ways under the pretence of glorifying his word—the doctrines of political economy are a gospel of peace to the world. It is not thus, however, that the Agricultural Associa tion of Leievst:rshire regards the influence of Provi dence in connection with this question. The Duke of Rutland declares the last harvest to have been the most inauspicious that we have had for the last forty years. And what is his inference ? That we " must trust to the mercy of that Providence in whose decrees justice is ever mingled with mercy." The piety of the sentiment is very respectable ; but why is it not as good for one class as for another? Why should net the landlords trust in Providence, and give up the bread-tax ? They tender the manufacturer their advice and benedic tion ; but for themselves they seem to think that a little " protection" is worth a deal of Providence. We watch in vain as yet for some' dawning of light on these agricultural associators. How can the proprie tors of the soil be so generally blind to the mischief towards themselves of our, towns declining instead of increasing in wealth ; and turning out upon the country successive swarms of insurgent Chartists, ignorant rioters, and famishing desperadoes, instead of extending 'their bounds by a progressive prosperity that multiplies the worth of landed property far and near. They pro fess to consider (we quote again from the Duke of Rut land's speech) " the two interests as identified, and that it is impossible for the one to feel depression, and the other to go on long in prosperity." Well then, why is not the question settled ? The manufacturing interest does feel the check of foreign competition. The effect perceptible, and the tendency is obvious. They mayuc told to make up their minds to it ; to fo re go their ambition Of supplying the world's markets ; to encounter the fearfal results that must ensue on an immense population which has been called into existence by the progress of manufactures, and cannot be sum marily disposed of ; to look ruin in the face, and put their trust in the mercy of Providence. But meanwhile the Noble Chairman's own prophecy forebodes calamity to agriculture. By his own principle "it cannot go on long in prosperity. So that nothing is left for it but that both should trust in the mercy of Providence, and die in the same ditch together. Notwithstanding its piety, the prospect is rather a forlorn one. Perhaps the general proposition was only intended, however illogically, to apply the other way, and affirm the con tingency of manufacturing prosperity on that of the agricultural interest. Be it so ; and then we ask whether the present Corn-law has kept agriculture from depres sion 2—whether it has secured steady prices to the far mer 7—whether the period since its enactment has been one of satisfaction and hope ? We have no need to pause for a reply. Parliamentary debates and agricul tural reports answer in a voice of thunder. Year after year has the voice of complaint been loud and con tinuous, and the only moments of glad hopefulness that have beamed over the land have • been those when upon the dense multitudes of our crowded cities lowered the gloomy clouds of impending famine. In such circumstances the most cautious experimentalist in legislation may well think it high time to try a change of system. Even, experimentalism is warranted by demonstrated failure. But it would be absurd to treat the proposed free interchange of home manufac ture for foreign produce as an untried experiment. 'Fire principle, of which this would be the practical applica tion, has been tried again and again ; and in every in stance the result has been satisfactory. The letter of Mr. Webster,. addressed to the Chairman, and by him read to the meeting, is well deseiring of perusal. One might be astonished hoW, after the reading of such 'a letter, his Grace of Rutland could deliver the speech attributed to him, if anything said by the Duke of Rut land could astonish us. (From the . Times.) As the Session of Parliament approaches the agonies of the Ministerial underlings increase. Their voices have swelled from a groan to howl. When the " com pact alliance" was first concluded between the Agitator and the Whigs, there was a certain lingering shame which strove to keep at least an external show of de cency. The Whigs did homage to their master, but they did it in secret ; they shrank from appearing in the livery of hint whom they served. But even these faint remains of grace have now evaporated. They publicly, through vainly, appeal to him in their despair, acknowledging his doctrines, defending his .measures, and echoing his very language. Their terrors have rm.' ralyzed every faculty except their utterance and their yell of pain is hideous. The weekly writer, who has lashed himself to their sinking plank, is in a mortal paroxysm. He vents in one breath his curses and his shrieks, writhing into a thousand 'distortions, impre cating vengeance against the Tories, and shuddering and maddening at the gulf beneath him. Really, th e repose of the Sunday reader ought not to be dis turbed with such frenzies. Let us try what the sprink ling of a few cool drops of reason will do to allay the heat. 0 save us, cries he, from the advent of Sir Robert Peel. " That a Minister, borne Into power upon the tide of the fiercest animosity to the people of Ireland and their religion, should govern upon the principles of national; and religious equ a li ty, may safely be pronounced a moral impossibility." "He must not only ?w k., bigotry and exclusion the spirit and princkile of his Ministry, but he must faithfUlly net in that fell spirit, and carry out in all its rigour that iron prin ciple?, We beg most seriously to assure our readers that the passages here printed in inverted commas arc no jocu lar interpolation, no caricature of our own ; frantic as the l a nguage is, it. does really stand part of the Whig article which we are animadverting. The, whole piragrilnb! r eeks with • the iNpiration o f M r . O'Connell. 'no ercest , anhnosity rei , g i„e ThuS eve r speaks p the to the' people of Ireland and their grateful Agitate„; and thus now' write 'Lig Whig partisans, about the foci ings of those who sd open, from their own resoure,-, have poured the full stream df .13ritish charity upon tiT —fetniusi..-ttttuek.,„_priest-plundered_peasants regret. at, their delusions, and pity for their destitu tion. The only untningled good which has been bestowed upon them since the Whigs broli :e into office, in 1836, is the Act for the Cotnr&utation of: Tithe . into Rent-charge, introduced by the brief Government of Sir Robert Peel, but inter c.a)t,-,d by the Whigs and O'Conneilites, and with held f6r between three and four sorrowful years from the Irish people, that the Whig Adm inis• tration might get back into place, and fatten the O'C lon nellites. with the Irish ' patronage. Little, indeed,, of the Character of Sir Robert Peel can be known to th use Who fancy that the leaning of his mind is to principles of rigour. If exclusion should ever again be a principle of the English Constitution, it will owe its revival to no illiberal Spirit of Toryisin, but to fresh aggressions frogn a restless minority in religion and politics, who, not con tent with equality, demand to be supreme. "It is most certain," continues this Whig guide, " that the 'Pories reckon upon the revival oC the • bray of No Popery' as the means of their restoration to power? and his only comfort is the p.aiivasion that their official life will be a short' one. Now, . . • 'this • sophism 'about the No Popery" cry is so commonly and overbearingly circulated, that it seems to call' for a few'plainwords Of comment. Why was the No Popery" cry, - as originally:raised, a resource un 'werthy of,the cause for which it was employed ? cause, as origin'ally raised it conveyed a fictitious alarm, they who so raised it knowing perfectly well that the country was then in no;danger from Popish principles or Popish politicians. But Will any man senture to main tain, that when such a danger does really eiist, the Pro testants who discern it sire not at liberty to give notice . of its 'approach ? If the citadel of our religion be placed on border ground, where 7,000,000 of people are said to be watching the opportunity' for its destruc tion, is the warder on the battlement to see them on their march, and forbear to sound his horn ? The alarm is only unlawful When it is false. Then, is the present alarm a false one? Do the circumstances of this season at all resemble those of 1807, when the cry of " No Popery" brought just discredit on the know ing part of its promoters? On the contrary, is there not now a more real, stirring, insatiable desire for the alvancement of Popery, backed by greater strength in Par!iament, and enforced by greater numbers in one at least of her Majesty's kingdoms, than has ever existed at any moment since the expulsion of James IL? The Sovereign, indeed, has no leaning to Popery, but her Ministers undeniably have. By it alone they keep their plac2s. They dare not disavow it. They dare not even say that the intended consort of their Royal mistress disavows it. The Irish papers ia the interest of Mr. O'Connell point exultingly to the fact, that the family of Prince Albert compre hends professors of the Ikoman Catholic faith. What is our inference ? That the Prince is in Lnger of fol lowing their ;example? Not at all; but that the Ministers who hear these allegations, who see these fdlse lights held out to some millions of an ignorant and superstitious peasantry, and yet refrain from all expres sion of rebuke or disapproval, and even from any counter anuranee either to tranquillize the minds of the Pro testants in England, or to evince their own respect for the Constitution and the Church, are disposed to favour, in every indirect way, the growth of the dangerous creed which shelters themselves. Nominally, no doubt, the whole executive power is in the Crown ; but constitu tionally and substantially the whole executive power of the Crown is wielded by its Ministers. If then, we have a Ministry which goes all l e n g th s , runs . a ll r i s ks and violates all wholesome precedents, to a!),:t and coun tenance Popery—a M'in-i-stry in parpershi 2 with Popery, sharing all the profits of the concern i even con tributing some of its names to the firm—a Ministry which can do much to help Popery forward, and, what it can do must do, on pain of ,instdhfi;death— fire we not practically more in danger from inch - a state of things than from the precise event dominated in the Bill of Rights and Act of Settlement—the marriage of the Sovereign to a Popish consort ? These arc the considerations which make the difference be tween a justifiable and an unjustifiable alarm or appeal against Popery—being no less then the difference be tween an aggressive and a defensive proceeding. Ag. 7ession in matters of conscience we detest and will discountenance ; but defence is a right and a duty. It may suit the disturbers of our political constitution to attack our religious establishment, and to facilitate their movements by showering out imputations of Li , gotry and hypocrisy -upon all who step forward to expose their designs. But we shall continue to expose them still, regardless of such menaces ; and we trust that the season will never arrive when the dread of political invective or personal abuse will scare the Protestants of Great Britain and Ireland from the defence of their Church, or from the dispensation of merited punishment to her selfish and interested assailants. _ _ _ (From the Morning Advertiser.) It being now definitely fixed that Parliament shat' meet on the 16th of next month, that is, in five weeks from Thursday, it behoves the friends of free institu tions, and of good and cheap Government, to prepare for the approaching campaign. The Tories are in mc tion in all directions ; they are dining together, and holding meetings, under various pretexts, in all parts of the country, for the purpose of organising their forces for the coming conflict. Even under the pre tence of meeting for political objects, they are forwarding their own political designs. For what other earthly object has that Hibernian clerical firebrand, the Rev. Thomas Gregg, been sent over to this country, but for the purpose, though under the mask of religious zeal, of stirring up Tory bigots, to whose minds ho-appears to have obtained a marvellously easy access, aga;nst liberal principles in politics, as well as against tolerant laws in religion ? But it is 'not in some cases openly, and in others under a mask, alone that the Tories are now preparing for a mortal struggle with the upholders of liberal principles : they are seeking the accomplish merit of their objects on a far more extensive scale, and perhaps in a much surer way, by a systematic course of operation, which is carried on with the most profound secrecy ; so very secret, indeed, that it is understood that only the heads of the party are privy to what is now going on with the view of restoring them to power. Not less certain is it, that the Tories are now worked up to that state of desperation which will nerve them for any expedient, however daring and desperate, which they may deem likely to promote their purposes. Who can doubt this, who has read the recent mendacious and indecent speeches of Brad shaw, Roby, and the clerical Gregg, and remembers that the more outrageously violent passages in the na rangues of these worthies were most rapturously ap plauded by large assemblages of. persons calling them selves gentlemen, and certainly living in splendid houses, and wearing good coats on their backs ? Nor is even this all : the atrocities against the Queen and the Constitution, with which the addresses of this re spectable trio of Tory orators swarmed, have not, up to this moment, been disavowed, far less denounced by any of the leaders of the Conservative party. The Duke of Wellington,' their leader in one branch of the Legislature has maintained an unbroken silence on the subject ; while Sir Robert Peel in the other—the " guide, philosopher, and friend" of the party, par ex cellence—has not one word to utter in disapprobation of the libellous bellowings of all or either of these gen try. This is a sign of the times which is not to be mistaken. It is most ominous as to the desperate lengths to which the Conservative party are resolved to go, in order that they may crush a Liberal Govern ment, trample in the dust liberal principles, and crae I back again along the ruins of both, into those abodes in Downing -street from which they have been so long ex cluded. If, then, the progressive party—a term ‘$ bich we like much better than that of movement—have eyes to see, or ears to hear, what is passing around them, they cannot be ignorant of the duties which ' at such a crisis as th e p rese nt, an d w ith so formidable a foe to con tend with, specially devolve upon them. Let Liberals forthwith, and everywhere, buckle on their armour, and make all other necessary preparations for the battk. Let them, above all things, bury those minor differences in the dust which have hitherto divided and dis tracted them. Surely there is enough of common en n ground on which to take th eir stand ; surel y the cif f tames between the Tories and all Liberals worth y of the name, arc sufficiently marked, to enable the latter n ot only to recognize each other as common friends, whose ge neral interest it is to uni t e together in con flicting with the common foe. To obtain the greatest cordiality of feeling—to enlist the largest numbers in the conflict—and to insure the utmost attainable energy of execution, let those principles be chosen as the oh. ices to be contended Tor, which are most generally entertained by Reformers. Let the standard of the Liberal party be raised in favour of an Extension of the Suffrage, Triennial Parliaments, and the Vote by Ballot.

So sever,' was the gale that upwards of °I ie hundred sail of vessels were compelled to seek shelter the Frith of Forth, and among these a good deal ofd i mage has been sustained, besides the loss of those wt ro . were unable to reach ports of safety. Amongst tit° put into the Frith with damage we have heard of th 43 following:— The Fairy, Hodgson, with loss of bulwarks, frailly.

Throne, Master, from Faro, in :ballast, to Newcastle, was cast ashore on the Wild: ire Rocks, off Sceugall ; and on Sunday the schooner He to, Brewer,. Master, of and from Yarmouth to NewcastLe, with a cargo of wheat and barley, was cast ashore on lr the seam place. Both vessels are much damaged, at ,d the cargo of the latter lost ; crews raved. Pieces of wreck have also been drifted on shore fr um Cr ail to Aastruthcr, supposed to have belonged t o a vessel laden with hemp or flax, suc.l3 of these he ing found on the timbers. This ship - Ai - eel:, must. be rec( tnt, from the circumstance of a straw mattress coating on shore scarcely wet through. Front the circumstance of a quantity of wreck being washed ashore about three miles to the we:Award of Montrose, chiefly spurs and deck planks, with two 'boats, bearing the name " Hart, of Glepgow," it is but too probable that this vessel has shared (ho fate of the Petrel. She was a regular trader between Glasgow and Hamburg,, and was commanded by Alexander Carfrac, a townsman of our own, who, though a young man, was an intelligent and skilful seaman. There is a hope that the 'ulster and crew may base been res cued by some passing vessel.—Caledonian .Mcrcury. MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—On Sunday evening last, M-. Western, pupil to Mr. Jrckson, land surveyor, was in company, at the White Hart Inn, at March, with a youth of the name of Drage, of Sutton, and some others. Western on a suttlen drew a pistol, presented it at Drage, and said, " I'll shoot you." He pulled the trigger, the ball passed into Drage's licac!„ and killed him. Western and one of his compan'.ons started for London ; pursuit has been made, b'4 we have not heard that they have been apprehend'a Va rious rumours arc afloat as to the cause of thiS strange and dreadful transaction. Some attribute it to accident ; some to jealousy ; but though lv. have heard much, we, do not think it right, in the present stage of the matter, to say more. On Monday morning, at eleven o'clock, an inquest was held at the Griffin Inn, before W. Pratt, Esq., and a respectable Jury, on the body of the un fortunate youth, which sat until two in the afternoon when it was adjourned to Thursday morning at eleven o'clock ; and, after sitting until evening, returned a verdict of Manslaughter against Western, who, we are informed, is a nephew of Lord W es t ern ' s . A p•osi ntortem examination took place on T ues d ay, b y , Mr. Church and Mr. Calvert, who opened the herd an d took out the ball. Young Western absconded, on Sun day evening after the accident, accomrar l i et i b y one ,f tice party nt.rned Gray Woodward. 'SVe..tern bus not returned, but G. Woodward * has. We hear that Western slept at the Hooit Hotel, at Cambridge, on Sunday night, and proceeded to London by the Star on Monday morning. —Cambridge Independent Press. SUDDEN DEATH OF A MEMBER 0 F LLOYD'S.-At nine o'cloCk on Saturday evening, an inquest was held before Mr. Payne and an extremely numerous ned respectable Jury, at the Three Tuns, High-street, Borough, on the body of John Burke, Esq., a member of Llovuss. It appeared from the evidence/ that deceased, Trim a few minutes 'before was in robust health and high spirits, took his piece on Friday own ing, in a Greenwich stage, to dice with a friend at New Cross, and that when the coach arrived opposite to the Talbot Inn, Borough, the conductor set him down. He was then seen to • walk across the street, and lean his head upon a port, A passer-by, judging him ill, led him into a neighbouring chemist's shop, and Mr. Da s h_ wood, a surgeon, .residing at No. 51, High -street, was sent for. Ho instantly attended, and applied the re medies usual in such sudden attacks, but deceased died in five minutes afterwards. The surgeon-stated that the unfortumite gentleman died of collapse, without the slightest 'determination of blood to the head. Ihe.roorn was crowded - with 'gentlemen friends of the deceased.
