On Monday evening last Mr. Sewell, a gentleman of independent property, residing at 20, Holles-street, Dalston, visited Sadler's Wells Theatre, and entered the wine-room attached to the theatre, where he drunk freely of wine, and conducted himself in rather an extraordinary manner. Eventually he left the wine room, and proceeded to the ground at the back part of the establishment, where he saw a cab waiting for a fare. He called for the cabman, but receiving n o answer, he got upon the box and drove off to the Clown public-house, in St. John-street-road, and made inquiries for the driver of the vehicle, but he could not be found anywhere, on which Mr. Sewell again got on the box and drove back again to the back of the theatre at a furious rate. On his arrival at a short distance from the stage door, the wheel of the cab came in contact with a post, and he was precipitated from his seat, and the cab was overturned and dashed to pieces. The alarm excited considerable sensation, and a crowd immediately came to his assistance, when he was sup ported into the wine-room ; but he seemed to be, or affected not to be, much hurt by the accident, and remained there for some short time. The driver of the cab at length made his appearance, and insisted on giving Mr. Sewell into custody for causing da mage to his cab, and he was taken to Bagnigge-wells station-house, and detained until he procured bail to appear to answer the charge, when he was allowed to depart, apparently without having suffered any injury through the occurrence. In the course of Tuesday morning Inspector Penny, G, intimated to Mr. Combe that Mr. Sewell had not appeared to answer the charge pursuant to the recognisance, and the charge was delayed until inquiries were made, and to give his bail an opportunity to produce Mr. Sewell. In the course of the day Inspector Penny stated to Mr. Combe that the officer who brought Mr. Sewell in charge to the station-house had been to his residence at Dalston, and on inquiry he discovered that Mr. Sewell returned home in a cab, and shortly afterwards retired to rest, and on Tuesday morning, about six o'clock, he was discovered dead in his bed. -Medical aid was resorted to without effect. Mr. Granger, the proprieter of the cab, the driver, and some other wit nesses, were present to give their evidence, but Mr. Combe said he must leave the case in the hands of the police until a coroner's inquest was held upon the body. The deceased was about forty years of age, and has left a family. PUBLICATIONS ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

The annual s h ow o f oxen, sheep, p i gs, &C., exhi bibited for th e p r i zes g i ven by this club opened yes terday to the p u bli c at the Horse Bazaar, King-street, Portman - squar e . T uesday the j udges, Messrs. Worth ington, L a dd s , F ranklin, Morris, Farncomb, and Crisp, were emp l oyed in examining the numerous animals in the stalls and pens, and in deciding upon their respective merits. The award of prizes is sub joined. The arrangements, under the superintendence of Mr. Bulnois, the proprietor of the bazaar, are such as will insure universal satisfaction. Notwithstanding the greatly increa,ed number, both of oxen and sheep, exhibited, as compared with former years, room and accommodation:ha ve been found for all, and sufficient space is also left for those who go to inspect or view them to do so without inconvenience or being crowded. The ventilation is excellently contrived, and the enormous temporary building under which the stock are disposed, being of tent cloth, is much better adapted for a purpose of this sort than a wooden building would be, because, whilst it suffi ciently protects from the weather, it enables the vapour arising from the animals to escape without being in any way offensive. The arrangements for lighting are also good; indeed, the whole is entitled to praise, and has, it is understood, met the approba tion of Lord Spencer, the president, and the mem bers of the club. The show this year surpasses both in numbers and the quality of the things exhibited any former years. The Leicester sheep and the Southdown sheep are of the first quality, and the oxen and cows are many of them very superb specimens. The pigs are also good. It will be seen that his Royal Highness Prince Albert has obtained the second prize for pigs. His Royal Highnsss has also sent a remarkably fine polled ox, of the Scotch breed, which has been highly com mended by the judges, although it has not obtained a prize. Lord Spencer has not been so successful as in some former years, though he has o bt a i ne d a p r i ze . The Duke of Bedford has obtained several prizes, and the Duke of Richmond is also amongst the winners. The implements of husbandry and the other things connected with husbandry are more than usually numerous. The following is the list of the prizes and the names of the winners : wethers, bred by himself, from rams hired of Mr. Samuel Bennett, of Bickerings-park, near Woburn, Bedfordshire. —Second prize, 54 Class 10 .—Long-woolled fat wether sheep, 1 year old, under 8 stone weight, that hare never had cake, corn, meal, seeds, or pulse.

The leading principle of this Mutual Assurance Society is, that the whole Profits are divisible among the Policy holders every three years. In illustration of the eminent succc-M5 which has attended the Society, it may be stated that the additions made to Policies have been at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the sum assured and on the vested bonus. Thus the holder of a Policy for 1,000/. effected on the Ist of March, 1832, will, if it become a claim during the present year, be entitled to 1,2171.; or, if effected on or before the Ist March, 1833, to 1,2751., and so on as regards other Polities. . _ _ The Accumulated Fund exceeds 20,0001., and the Annual Revenue is above 70,0001., the whole being in a course o steady and increas ing prosperity.

To PRETENT ALL FUTURE QUESTIONS AS ro THE VALIDITY OF POLL ors, this Company are prohibited by their deed of constitution from disputing any claim, unless they take upon themselves to prove that the policy upon which the claim arises was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation. The Company are further bound to give effect to every policy, although the debt for which it may have been originally procured, or at any time held, may have been paid off before the claim arises. And that the value of policies may not be lessened or destroyed by parties going beyond the limits usually prescribed, the Company grant, upon payment of a small extra premium, general or whole world leave, which subsists during the currency of the policy. By these means the policies of the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Life Company have come to be considered as forming secu. rities more complete and more easily negotiable than any other similar documents. Assurances are granted either with or without participation in profits, and the utmost facility is given in regard to the payment of the premiums, by the assured having the option of pa. ment by a progressive ascending scale, or according to the half premium system, continued for seven years.

The frost during yesterday was considerably dimi nished in severity, but there was by no means any ap pearance of a thaw. Th e th ermometer at the Royal Humane Society's Receiving-house in Hyde-park, and at the Society's marquees in Regent's-park and St. James's park, exhibited 30 degrees early in the morning, but ascended between twelve and two o'clock as high as 34 degrees ; yet last evening the mercury receded to 30 degrees, with the wind still N.E., but more calm. The atmosphere was hazy, and the barometer 30 , 1, indicating slight change. The ice on the Long -water and round pond in Ken sington-gardens was very strong and in good condition, and on them during the day the number of skaters was upwards of 2,000. On the north bank of the Long water the Skating Club yesterday morning had their marquee erected, and several of the members skated on the ice during the afternoon. No accidents, we are happy to say, occurred. The ice in the centre of the Serpentine is not above two inches in thickness, and at the aides it is not near so thick. It is, therefore, still considered most danger ous. Notwithstanding, however, the numerous cautions given by the Royal Humane Society's icemen, about 2.500 skaters ventured thereon, and the banks were thronged by respectably and fashionably-dressed persons. The drive on the north side exhibited also a very fair display of fashionable equipages, considering the state of the weather and the advanced period of the year. One accident only occurred durinf, the day, and that took place about ten mi nutes to three o'clock, when a man named William Somers, who was engaged on the north bank of the Serpentine at the east end in cutting the ice for removal to the ice-wells of Buckingham Palace for the use of her Majesty, became immersed in ten feet water, but was speedily extricated by a fellow labourer by means of a boat-hook before the Humane Society's men could reach him. He was immediately conveyed by iceman Robinson on an ice sledge to the receiving house, where he was attended by Dr. Woolley, and placed in a hot bath, and afterwards in a warm bed. The unfortunate man appeared in a wretched state of poverty and disease, and Mr. Alderman Wilson and Mr. Oldham, who witnessed the accident, left at the receiving-house a sovereign towards buying him clothes better adapted for the season. The ice in the Regent's-park is in quite a sound con dition, and is from two inches to two inches and three quarters in thickness. The number of skaters was be tween 4,000 and 5,000, and the banks of the ornamen tal water were lined by persons letting skates for hire. No accidents occurred. The ice on the lake in St. James's-park was yesterday about two inches in thickness, and rather less dangerous than on the preceding day, but by no means safe. During the day there were several thousand skaters, but no accidents whatever. At an early hour yesterday morning Superintendent Williams attended, and directed the men in the operation of cutting away the ice in the vicinity of the recent accident, in order to ascertain if there were (as reported) any bodies beneath the ice. Four men were engaged during the greater part of the day constantly using the drags, and dredging. Mr. Wil liams's newly-invented floating drag for creeping under the surface of the ice was also tried. No bodies, as has been already stated, were found ; but a hat, with a black crape band, is which were two handkerchiefs one blue and white, an d the other a lady ' s white handkerchief, marked "W. E. H., 5." The two icemen, Joseph Knight and Charles Clapstone, for their great courage and praiseworthy exertions on Sunday, have been libe • rally rewarded by the Royal Humane Society. Arrangements are now in progress for building new lodges in the inclosure for the park-keepers, and it is intended, by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, that they shall be so constructed as to form residences for these keepers, who attend by night as well as by day. The Thames is still clear of ice, and consequently the navigation is uninterrupted. The docks, though par tially frozen, do not offer any obstruction to the move ments of the shipping, barges, &c. Last evening the thermometer at six o'clock, at the Dockmaster's•office, St. Katharine's, stood at 32 degrees, freezing point, being four degrees higher than on the preceding evening at the same hour. There was a fresh breeze during the day about N.E. The atmosphere had a gloomy ap pearance.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The Post—though utterly disapproving of he object sought to be effected—is " glad to find that the farmers of England are preparing to bestir them selves against the malt-tax." 'We showed yesterday that the " farmers of England" know better than to make any stir for such an object. In fact, they refuse to move in the matter ; and that for reasons which are no less cogent than they are convincing to the said " farmers Cunt...fry& wry, in a cub sequent part of the same article, limits the phrase, the " farmers of England," to the " agricultural gentlemen"—that is, the landlords, as contradistin guished from those who cultivate the land. These " agricultural gentlemen" are apprehensive that the present rents cannot be maintained under the new state of things which the Conservative Government they invested with power has managed to bring about. The tenant-farmers are complaining ; and, we believe, not without cause. The landowners are endeavour.. ing, with their usual sensibility of personal inte rest, to work this feeling for their own advantage. They see—or think they see—an opportunity for se curing ,the " surplus revenue" to themselves. The re peal of the malt-tax would be neither more nor less than a positive donation by the Government to the landlords of nearly five millions from the revenue of the country. The history of the malt-tax, and the conduct of the landed interest with respect to it, will assist to an un derstanding of the movement which is now sought to be got up for its removal. The present amount of malt duty is but a remnant of that which existed in 1815. At that period the malt duty, including the tax on beer, amounted to about 565. or 58s. per quar ter. No sooner was peace restored, and produce began to feel the effects o f peace pr i ces, than the agricultural interest in the House of Commons obtained a diminu tion of the malt duty to the extent of 16s. per Winchester quarter. The agricultural-distress-year of 1822 was taken advantage of for the purpose of getting another re duction from the malt-tax ; and what was called " the annual duty" was given up. Next followed the repeal of the beer duty—equivalent to 12s. on the quarter of malt. The aggregate of these reductions —obtained from the Governments by whom they were relinquished through the influence exercised upon them by the landowners— amounted to seven millions of annual revenue. Their ob ject was to keep up rents, by maintaining war-prices in a time of peace ; and to a very considerable extent they succeeded in effecting their object. A combination of new and concurrent circumstances—principally caused by the insane and cruel policy of what is falsely called " agricultural protection "—threatens the farmers with another visitation of " agricultural distress." The land lords are on the qui vivc. Repeal of the remaining portion of the malt-tax is the panacea which is to re move the distress, and avert the pending calamity—from themselves ! The trifling relief which the removal of the malt-tax would afford to the labouring classes will at once be seen, if the amount of duty upon the quantity of malt required for the production of thirty-six gallons of porter—the favourite beverage of the labouring classes—is computed. The amount of duty upon the quantity of malt required for producing that quantity of porter is 6s. ; being 2d. per gallon, or as nearly as can be estimated, one-third of a penny upon the pot. The price of the pot of porter would therefore be retailed at 3.d.—one farthing less than at present. And this is the reduction which the Post's "agricultural gentlemen" advocate, on the pretext that it would enable the labourers to procure beer who cannot now obtain bread. The absurdity of the plea is too manifest to impose on any understanding which is not previously prepared to yield to the delu sion, as an excuse for embarking in a project which is meant to subserve the landlord's interest at the cost of every other class of the community. The Post imposes on those who are disposed to follow its counsels, a labour equal to that of Sisyphus:—.- " The farmers, who now think only of demanding a repeal of the malt-tax, may soon find courage to demand a repeal of the new corn-law, of the tariff, and of the Canada Corn Act. The same energy which will be required to get rid of the malt-tax would suffice to get rid of the free-trade measures of the last three years, and of the Currency Act of 1819 into the bargain." And yet this was the kind of argument with which the far mers suffered themselves to be deluded at the last election. The same oracle of the agriculturists com plains of what it calls the violation of these promises, and the consequent disappointment of agricultural hopes :—" Promises may have been made to farmers on the subject of the malt-tax, and those promises may have been violated. Nothing, however, was said during the great struggle in 1841 between the League and the agri cultural body on the question of the tax on malt ; and the pledges--express and implied—which were given by our present rulers, and by the majority of their sup porters, bore reference, assuredly, to matters of infi nitely greater importance." The " straw" is manifestly " moving"—not for the repeal of the malt-tax, but for objects yet more embarrassing to Ministers than any movement in that direction. STANDARD.—The Morning Chronicle of this day commences a long article as follows:—" The friends of the Church of England may well be alarmed at her pre sent position. The Puseyite crisis exposes to the world the two fundamental defects of her constitution—the want of any supreme governing body, and the vicious system of promotion, which has filled her high places with men destitute of that statesmanlike ability that could guide her through her present difficulties." Wo shall observe upon the latter imputed defect first. We do not find that: the Divine Founder of our Church selected statesmen as his Apostles. We have the qualities requisite in a bishop more than once distinctly enumerated by the inspired teacher of the Gentiles; but statesman ship:or political wisdom isnowhere mentioned among those qualities, which may be classed under the heeds of piety, purity of life, and a meek temper—qualities in which no man will say that the Bishops of our Church, as a body, manifest any deficiency. They may err, as all men err ' • but surely the comm on com pl a i nt h as lately been that they have erred on the side of forbear ance towards men who would bring in heresies. And if one or more of them manifested more energy than the rest, it is the generally meek character of the order which causes such conscientious energy to be regarded as turbulence. But as our view of the conduct of others takes a colour from our approbation or disap probation of their end (the observation is as old as Aristotle) we aro disposed to characterise as turbulence that energy employed in opposition to our opinions which we would gratefully welcome as manly courage if employed on our own side. The con sideration, however, which we would press is that an excessive meekness, and superabundant charity, are the faults—the only faults—which can be charged upon the present Bishops as a body ; but these faults are Chris tian virtues, and better become the fathers of a Christian Church than the opposite virtues of statemen—vigilant distrust and some amount of unfeeling rigour. The first defect imputed to the Church is one that really does not ex ist; and we are not a little surprised to see its supposed existence matter of complaint with a Liberal journal. The defect in question is, " the want of a supreme go verning body," explained as follows in the next para graph :—" The constitution of the Church of England presents the singular anomaly of an extended and com plicated hierarchy, complete in all its organisation, with the one exception of a head. It has neither Pope, nor council, nor general assembly, to wield the sovereign authority, and enforce uniformity of doctrine and prac tice throughout its entire body.' The want of a " ge neral council" is one which the Church of England has endured in common with the Church of Rome for ex actly three centuries, the last general council of the Roinish Church, that of Trent, having been assembled in 1845. The want of a Pope is, therefore, the only respect in which we are at a disadvantage as compared with Rome. And this is made matter of complaint by a journal professing upon all occasions to be the champion of civil and re ligious liberty. If, however, the Church of England acknowledges no human arbiter of religious doctrine—no despotic master of its ritual—it surely has an equivalent for such human arbiter in the Holy Scrip tures, and for such despotic master of ritual in the law —the law, which is quite strong anough to maintain the authority of the Scriptures, so long as the people are free from utter corruption, and to enforce or to amend its own, ritual arrangements. Comparing the state of the Eng lish and Romish Churches during the latter half of the three centuries that have elapsed since the last general council—the first half was a period of almost con stant political disorder in Christendom, from the in• fluence of which religion could not escape —comparing, we say, the state of the English and Romish Churches, during the last 150 or 200 years, we assuredly do not find that a Pope has, even with the aid of the Inquisi tion and the temporal sword and the faggot, more effectually maintained uniformity of doctrine and ritual, to say nothing of political order and personal morality, than the Scripture and the law have maintained them all in England. It is, in truth, out of the happy tranquillity and implicit confidence arising from an experience of the operation of our English system, that the present danger, the magnitude of which no honest and observing man will dispute, has arisen. Indulgence on the part of the heads of the Church, implicit confidence in their clergy, had been nursed into inveterate habits by the calm, and steady, and glorious progress of religious truth. It was not that the Bishops slept on their posts, or that the laws had lost their power ; but there really was no fit occasion for the active interposition of either ; all was going on so well without the help of either Pope or general council, that any rude interposition would be indeed a wanton challenging of danger. Such was the state to which the Christian liberty of centuries had exalted our Church twelve years ago, as every Englishman now living can attest. We say of Christian liberty, because the govern ment of law is liberty, and the only true condition of liberty ; and the government of law is most perfect where the law is least frequently invoked. Of liberty, however, it is a necessary attribute, that men may go wrong if they are prepared to abide the consequences of doing so. And se it has proved in the Church. About twelve years ago, certain stupid, ignorant —we repeat it, most ignorant—conceited, and perverse men sought to introduce into the Church novelties of doctrine and of ritual by which they hoped to make for themselves a name. How were the Bishops or the Universities to deal with these persons, when they saw the tares flung among the wheat? They might say at the hebdomadal board at Oxford, how many Bishops in their charges did say, "An enemy has done this thing." But the reluctance which all good men feel to awaken the sleeping lions of the penal law—the spirit of the parable refers eu to compelled thew to wait tuna the or fully of the new heresy was fully de veloped ; besides that a precipitate course would risk the danger of presenting as martyrs those:who were simply criminals. The forbearance thus manifested, though wise and just, and the effect indeed of the prosperity of the Church, has been, we admit, attended by this incon venience, that it has given occasion to doubts and scruples in the minds of some good men, which, though relating to matters in themselves indifferent, seem to throw these good men, in some respects, into the hands of the heretics. Poison is rarely adminis tered save in combination with something palatable, or at the least indifferent, and the false doctrines of Tractarians were, in the usual course of these things, mixed up with an abundance of professed veneration for obsolete ritual observances. Some of these obsolete ob servances, however, unfortunately appeared obligatory on conscience, and though the real question is between pure Christianity and Romanising innovation, it has, at least in appearance, taken the form of a dispute about surplice preaching or the use of the offertory. Now while we entirely sympathise with the resolution of the people not to submit to authority, where the legal foundations of authority shall seem to be doubtful, and though we have no doubt that there is no au thority whatever to enforce surplice preaching, still we think that the dispute raised is one which (if the Bishops who enjoin surplice preaching unhappily feel bound to persist) can be determined satis factorily only by the law. We say again, that we have no doubt how the law will determine it. In order, then, that the wound to the Church be promptly probed, let the question be at once referred to a legal issue, and, if ne cessary, prosecuted to the court of last resort, the Privy Council. Let some clergyman of the diocese of Exeter, for example, use his accustomed habit in preach ing; if he do so unmolested, the question is set at rest in that diocese, and the people well know that all who abandon the former usage do so, not from a necessity of canonical obedience, but from a bi as t owar d s the Romanising heresy ; if, on the other hand, an at tempt be made to punish the clergyman who adheres to the usage of two centuries, the people will support him in his successive appeals, up to the appeal to the Privy Council. This is the course which to us seems to be in all respects the best, and, if unhappily rendered neces sary, it is the course which we hope to see pursued. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The delay in making known from the Treasury, in an official shape, the result of the biddings for the portion now offered of the Canada loan, has arisen, it appears, under circumstances rather peculiar to the present transaction. When the tenders first pre sented were opened it was found that all except: one were below the limit previously fixed by the Treasury, and that the one above the limit was only for a portion of the sum to be bid for. On the occasion of the bid ding for the first allotment of the loan, as will be re collected, all the biddings were below the Chancellor of the Exchequer's minimum ; but on his declaring what it was, and opening the sealed papers produced at the meeting, the terms were acceded to by all the bidders for the respective amoants for which they had ten dered. On the present occasion these two modes of proceeding were at the option of the Treasury— to declare then the limit, and afford a chance to those below it, or propose to the parties whose effer had exceeded it to take the remaining sum on the terms of that offer, which latter was the course adopted. As a reference was probably necessary to the principals from whom that offer had pro ceeded, the delay of a short time in any de claration of the final result became unavoidable, unless Mr. Goulburn had chosen to name his limit then, and to take the chances either of those below it agreeing to accept it, or of those above it (one party only) con senting at once to those terms for the remainder. Thus the case has become a very nice one ; and a keen con troversy has arisen in the money market whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer has pursued a strictly fair course in the matter. In the Stock Exchange we suspect the votes will be against him ; hut, acting for the public, who have to take the consequence of his bargain, we think that he has done just what he ought to do. While a chance remained of obtaining the terms of the accepted portion for the whole of the sum under negotiation, he could not consistently give those who were below his limit the power of advancing up to it, since to that ex tent he would have damaged the public, or the colony for which the loan, under the security of the home Go vernment, is entered into. The only question that can arise is, whether a longer delay than was necessary for such a purpose has not been consented to. To avoid any charge of juggling with the moneyed interest, the minimum of the Chancellor has, it is understood, been placed, sealed, in the hands of the Governor of the Bank, only to be opened in the event of any dispute hereafter as to what that limit really was. There has been much expectation in the City during the day as to the final result of this matter ; but all that has transpired in the affair is, that one house, Messrs. Hammond, Scott, and Co., has taken rather more than half the loan at the price of 112 ; but in what manner the remainder is placed is not yet known. Neither is it known at present what the Chancellor of the Exchequer's minimum was. The premium on gold at Paris is 12 per mile, which, at the English Mint price of 31, 17s. 1011(1, per CORONERS' INQUESTS. DEATH FRON STARVATION.--On Monday after noon a lengthened investigation was entered into be fore Mr. Higgs, coroner for the Duchy of Lancaster, and a jury of thirteen inhabitant householders, at the Golden Lion, Lower Edmonton, on view of the re mains of a man, name unknown, aged fifty-two, whose death was occasioned by the want of food and expo sure to the inclemency of the weather. Richard Pugh, the keeper of a lodging-house in Church-street, stated that he had known the deceased for the last three months. He was a native of Essex, and was an agricultural labourer. He was in the employ of Mr. Boards, farmer, of Edmonton, but had been for some months out of work. He had during that period obtained a scanty pittance by vending Congreve matches, balls of cotton, &c. About Wednesday or Thursday week last the police inter fered with him, and threatened to apprehend him as a vagrant, saying that his offering things for sale was merely an excuse for begging. Deceased was in con sequence very frightened, and did not go out with his basket again. He stopped at witness's house till the following Tuesday, when he absented himself, having till then, from the day the police spoke to him, lived upon stale crusts, which he got in exchange ' for congreves, and the dregs of the tea-pot when others had done with it. On Saturday night last, about half-past ten o'clock, witness was returning home, when he saw the deceased sitting on the ground in the street, crouched up in a corner. He asked him why he did not come to his house. He replied, be cause he had no money ; adding that he was very cold and thirsty, and had a pain in his side. Witness as sisted him home, when he made him some gruel, put ting into it half a pint of ale, which deceased swal lowed ravenously. Deceased was then put into a bed, and witness saw him no more alive. By the CORONER—Deceased, on getting into bed, said that since the Tuesday he had slept in hovels and open sheds, and had had scarcely a particle of food. Witness did not believe that deceased had ever made application at the workhouse, of which he always seemed to have a dread. Witness's opinion was that he died from want of food and exposure to the cold. Mr. Henry Samuel Lane, surgeon, Church-street, said that on Sunday morning last, about half-past eight u'clocii, he was called to see a man at Mr. Pugh's who was considered to be in a dying state. Witness went about an hour afterwards, and then found the deceased dead. He was in bed, and laid out, and on inquiry he was informed that he had been dead above a quarter of an hour. There were no marks of violence. The body appeared much emaciated, and he considered that the deceased's death was accelerated by exposure to the cold. There being no farther evidence, after a few re marks from the Coroner on the distressing circum stances of the case, the jury returned a verdict, "That the deceased died from want of the common necessa ries of life and exposure to the cold." DEATH lil HORSEMONGER-LANE GAOL.—On Tues day an inquest was held before Mr. Carter, the coroner for Surrey, at the Governor's room, in Horsemonger lane prison, on the body of Joseph Simmons, a most eccentric character, who represented himself to be Napoleon Buonaparte. The deceased had for many years swept a crossing at the end of Penton-place, in the Kennington-road, leading to the Zoological Gardens. He was half witted, and always very singular in his conduct, but the gentry of the neighbourhood were very kind to him. He was in the habit of proclaiming himself Napoleon, and hundreds of boys would congregate around the assumed emperor, and jeer him in such a manner, that he was continually in the custody of the police for assaults on one or other of these urchins. On the 21st of November he was committed for one of these assaults from Union hall, in default of finding bail for three months. On Sunday week he was taken ill in the chapel, and removed to the infirmary, where Mr. Meymott, the surgeon of the prison, immediately attended, and found he was labouring under paralysis of the right side. He was at the time almost speechless. He had re peatedly been in the same prison for similar offences. Mr. Meymott stated that the deceased had every at tention paid to him, and whatever food he ordered, but he had no hope of him from the first time he was called on to see him in the infirmary.—Verdict, " Natural death." MORE SUPPOSED INFANTICIDES.—Tuesday Mr. Baker held two inquests at the Three Cranes, Church-street, Hackney, on the bodies of newly born children, who were found under the follow ing suspicious circumstances :—ln the first case Edward Potter deposed that on Monday morning, about ten o'clock, he found a deal box, nailed down, having the name of " Ross" marked on it, behind a brick stack in Hackney churchyard, which, on being opened, was found to contain the body of an infant. A medical gentleman was sent for, who, upon examination, found the body in such a dreadful state of decomposition that it was impossible to state whether it died from violence or not. The other case was that of a female child found in the soil of a water closet, at the hack of a house, No. 30, Ada-street, Hackney, on Tuesday morning, about nine o'clock. An inquiry being set on foot by the police, it was fsund that the deceased was the illegitimate child of Mary Ann Lucas, twenty-eight years of age, servant to Mrs. Wix in that street, who said she had no idea of her servant's pregnancy until the discovery of the body. The medical gentleman who was called in said she had no professional attendance at the birth, but he could not say whether it was born alive or not. The mother was immediately taken into custody. The jury in both cases returned open verdicts of " Found dead." ROBBERIES OF PLATE AT THE DUKE OF RICHMOND'S, &c.—Tuesday Benjamin Ewen. a respectably-dressed man, about fifty years of age, described on the police sheet as a servant, living at No. 6, Yeoman's-row, Brompton, was brought up before Mr. T. Paynter, at the Hammersmith Police-court, for final examination and committed for trial, on a charge of having stolen a massive silver teapot, the property of the Duke of Rich mond. Mr. Paynter said he could not accept hail in this case. The prisoner was then charged with having stolen a dozen of silver table forks from the residence of R. H. Cox, Esq., of No. 8, Grosvenor-place and Hillingdon House, near Uxbridge. The prisoner was eventually fully committed for trial on this charge also. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—Tuesday morning an acci dent occurred to Mr. Starling, landlord of the Trinity Arms, Swan-street, Borough, by foolishly jumping out of gig.a •He was riding in a one-horse break along Tiverton street, Newington-causeway, with the foreman of Mr. Blewitt, of Swan-street, when the horse shied at a pig in t h e middle of the road, and commenced plunging. Mr. Starling, in a state of excitement, jumped out of the break, and fell with his right leg under him on the edge of the kerb-stone, breaking his thigh-bone in two places. Being near his own house he was instantly conveyed there and placed in bed, and medical assistance procured. Mr. Starling is a very heavy man. He was thrown out of his gig about twelve months ago, and received a severe injury on his head.
