Yesterday morning an inquisition was held at the Hun gerford Arms, Villiers-street, before Mr. Hiocs, on the body of M. Vernet, a French teacher of languages, aged , 15; whose death occurred under melancholy 'and somewhat mysterious circumstances. The deceased had come to London from Bristol about six weeks back, leaving his wife at Bristol. He brought a letter of recommendation to Mr. Seddon, an upholsterer, and had, during his temporary resi dence in London, lived at 14, Villiers-street, Strand. His Christian name was unknown. It appeared the deceased was seen on Sunday night by policeman S 104, about a quarter past 11 o'clock, near the railroad at Kilburn. Some persons were around him, and a lad said he had seen him, some little while before, lying near a hay-stack two fields off. •He was sucking a lemon. He complained of being ill. At first the policeman thought he was in liquor, but soon found that he was mistaken. He would not give his name or tell where he lived. He was well dressed. He said if the policeman would take him to the station-house, he would disclose everythin g . This was done, but he still continu e d ob s tinate, and, as his illness evidently increased, Dr. Braithwaite was sent fbr, who ad vised his removal to the Western Dispensary, New-road ; there they gave him a draught, and he was prevailed on to give his address ;. he was then getting lethargic. He was conveyed home in a cab. At the station-house two letters were found in his pockets, of which the following are copies :-- .

L IT AP PINESS, " the g ay to-morrow of the mind," is insured by marriage. Previous, however, to entering into the hallowed obligation of marriage, it becomes an impressive duty not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief: To all such, then. we address ourselves, offering h.pe —energy—muscular strength—felicity. The easy cares of married life are sometimes dt s t ur b ed by the suspension of those blessings w hich concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often con stitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy im. proved into functional power. In every ease of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our abi lityand with effect.

Mrs. Waylett is engaged as the star, and the new piece in which she appears is caned West-country Wooing. The story is that of a young west country lady, who disguises herself as a servant, and thus cap tivates a whimsical cousin who has a Young Marlow kind of taste. Mrs. Waylett, who acted the disguise lady, cannot be praised too highly : the archness of her manner, the naivete with which she gives her points, and the richness of her west-country brogue, are not to be surpassed. The other principal actors in the company, are Messrs. T. Green, Hughes, Conquest, and Benson Hill, and Misses Lee and Pincott. The theatre was attended but indifferently. KENSINGTON-GARDENS. —At the meeting of the Entomological Society on Monday evening, a letter was read from Mr. Spence, addressed to the Secretary, giving some account of the destruction of the elm trees in the promenades of Dunkirk, Boulogne, and Calais, by the scolytus destructor. The decay of the trees had here, as in many other cases, been attributed to wind, soil, and various other causes, but the writer was convinced it was owing to the one he had as s i gne d, and had recently added much to his stock of information on the subject. Mr. Westwood, on the subject of the latter, made some observations on the extensive injury sustained by the elm trees in Kensington-gardens, the majority of those on the south side being dead, whilst about one-third of those on the east were in a similar condition. He considered that the Society having accumulated a large mass of information on the subject, should hold an official communication with the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, for the purpose of suggesting some means by which the ravages might be restrained, as they had already extended to the trees in Lord Holland's-park, and along the Western-road, past Hammersmith. So extensive was the present devastation, that if active means were not employed the whole of the trees along the south side would have to be cut down within ten years, and there would in the course of a few years more be none left in the gardens. An analogous disease had lately appeared in some of the pine forests in Germany, by which between 3,000,000 and 4,000,000 of trees had been destroyed. In Kensington-gardens, latterly, all the good trees had been selected for sale, and the bad ones left standing, which was much to be regretted, as in the latter the wood was not in jured, the insect merely penetrating under the bark, and slightly along the wood. Some attempts at remedying the evil bad recently been made with the young elms by plaster ing them over with cowdung, which was, however, quite in effectual, as the beetles might be seen in thousands i unning over the covered surface. The total neglect of the proper authorities to the subject was a matter both of surprise and regret, as there could be no doubt that entomological science would cure the evil, and as a valuable paper on the subject by Mr. Mackleay had been printed by order of the Govern ment. The office at Hatton-Garden was on Tuesday crowded to excess by the inhabitant householders of St. An drew's, Holborn, who were summoned before Messrs. Laing and Rogers, by the Rev. Gilbert Beresford, clerk, rector of that parish, for having refused to pay the tithe and ancient composition rates and dues for tithe, due from them to the complainant, contrary to the statute. The result was that orders for payment of tithe were made against the following inhabitants :—Mr. Hopwood, solicitor, Chancery-lane ; Mr. Webb, baker, Holborn ; Moses Davies, a Jew salesman, and Isaac Dobell, publican, of Gray's-inn-lane; Mr. Cant, last maker, Holborn ; Mr. R. Armstrong oil merchant, Gray's , inn-lane ; Mr. Rapkin, Mr. W. Babb, and Mr. Rainsford, all of Holborn. In nearly every case the defendants declared their determination to resist the payment. ELOPEMENT OF A BOARDING SCHOOL MISS FROM TILE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, REGENT'S PARE.—YCS terday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, several young ladies, from the ages of sixteen to twenty . years, be longing to a Ladies' Finishing Seminary in the vicinity of St. John's Wood, Regent's Park, were indulged with a prome nade in the Zoological Gardens, Regent's Park, for the pur pose of amusing themselves, viewing the beautiful giraffes lately imported into this country, and other rare animals. On the party arriving on the north side of the gardens, where the giraffes' habitation is situated, one of the young ladies, about is years of age, was suddenly missed. An immediate search was made throughout the extensive gardens, but not any trace could be discovered of the fair fugitive, until the Go verness was informed by some visitors that a youn g c , Lady an swering the description was observed hastening out of the gar dens with a gentleman, when, on their arrival at the entrance. gates in the Regent's Park, they both entered an elegant ca briolet that was waiting with the gentleman's groom, and drove off at a furious rate through Gloucester-gate, taking the New North-road, in the direction of Holloway. There is at present growing in the garden of Mr. George Westerdale, of Swanland, a cabbage which measures four yards, two feet, five inches in circumference. This is not the renowned cow cabbage, but a specimen of the common kitchen vegetable.—Hull Observer.. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL appeared to show cause against the rule which had been obtained by his Hon.- Friend, why there should not be a new trial in this case.—( A laugh.) That House was about to be converted into a Court of Law—he doubted whether it would be a Court of Justice. He would rather call it a Court of injustice, because with the most profound respect for the func tions of that House, he thought it singularly incompetent to administer justice. When there was any real injustice aris ing out of vexation or oppression, that House might properly interfere and with good effect ; but if they were to form them selves into a Court of Appeal from the decision of the jury and the judge, such a course of proceeding would be most mischievous. There had been great difficulty to *form a House ; they had sat half an hour beyond the time fixed, and Hon. Members dropped in one by one. He was afraid that before he had made the few observations which he felt it his duty to offer, a good many Members would have left the House, and before the House came to a decision, many Members would probably be coming in, and the question would ultimately be etecidCd by those Who had not heard - a word of the argument. At this time there were just 13 Members In the House.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then went at some length into the facts of the case. On what ground was it that the House was to reverse the verdict of the Jury and the judgment of Lord Brougham? It was not pretended there had been any oppression, or vexation, or injustice. Although he re spected much Sir F. Pollock and Mr. Blackburne, yet he must say he did not value the opinion of those Learned Gen tlemen one rush, when it was given in a case in which their clients had been defeated. But against the opinion of Sir F. Pollock he might cite the opinion of Mr. Wray, who thought the claim was unfounded, and that there was no pretence whatever for disturbing the verdict. Then they were told the Judge was inaudible. That was ridiculous. The Judge who tried the cause was one of the most learned men on the Bench, and an excellent Judge, and the verdict of any other Jury in a cause tried before him might just as well be set aside on that ground as the verdict in the Troutbeck case. Then it was said that Mr. Justice Littledale expressed an opi nion in favour of the present petitioners. Even if he had, that would have been of no consequence, because it was a question for the Jury to decide according to the constitution of the country. But he denied that Mr. Justice Littledale had ex pressed any opinion of the sort, because, when especially called upon by Lord Brougham, that Learned Judge had ex pressed an opinion the contrary way, as he would show them by and by. It appeared by the will of the testator, that he had disclaimed all connection or relationship with the parties now claiming to be his heirs. With respect to the statement that had been made, of the opinion of the Judge being in favour of the present parties, he would say that that Learned Judge did not coincide in opinion with the Lord Chancellor. Mr. Justice Littledale had, nearly two years after the trial had taken place, deliberately given it as his opinion that there was no ground whatever for disturbing the verdict. He hoped, therefore, he should hear no more of the opinion of the Judge being in favour of these claimants. It had been stated that there were several other claimants; and, of course, they were entitled to this money if they could make out their case ; and it would be the greatest injustice, therefore, if the Crown gave any directions in such a case. All these statements were laid before Lord Brougham, who said that there was no ground for his interference, or for a new trial, and instead of appealing to the House of Lords, they appealed to the House of Commons. The Hon. M em b er (M r . Warburton) had not pointed out a single instance in which, under similar circumstances, the House had interfered. Such a precedent would be most dangerous, and he deprecated its being instituted as, in his opinion, it would lead to the most mischievous consequences. For these reasons it appeared to him that there was no foun dation whatsoever for granting the Committee moved for by his Hon. Friend, and be felt no hesitation in giving that opinion. * Mr. BAG SHA W hoped that after what had fallen from the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, the Hon. Member oppo site would withdraw his motion.—( Hear, hear ) Mr. WARBURTON, in reply, said he regretted the de- • lay that had occurred in resuming the debate that had now taken place on this question, because, in conse quence of that delay, he had been deprived of the powerful assistance of many learned gentlemen who had been obliged, from domestic concerns, to return to their own houses. Among those were the Hon. and Learned Member for Kilkenny, who had assured him (Mr. Warbur ton), that if he had been sitting on the bench, and had had such a claim brought before him, he would have decided in thatfavour h of eo tb u e elu p s r io es u et t tt o e ‘ l v a b i i m eh ant t s he ; a H n o d us h e e w m o u u s ld t aecokinneo,wwlehdagte ever it might be, would be anything but satisfactory. He did not think it necessary to travel over the whole case again; but after what the Learned Attorney General had said, he should notice some of the statements that had been made. He (Mr. Warburton) had quoted the very words made use of by the Learned Judge, and the effect of them evidently was, that the claimants had made out their case. That also was the impression made 'upon the minds of the Counsel in the cause. The Honourable Member here referred to the observations made by the Lord-Chancellor at. the different hearings of the appeal, which corroborated the opinion of Mr. Justice Littledale, that the claimants were the parties entitled to the money, although they had failed in making out their case. When the Learned Judge said that " he would have been as well pleased if the verdict had been the other way," would the Attorney-General or the Chan cellor of the Exchequer stand up and say that these parties bad no case? He contended that upon the whole of the facts these parties had made out a strong case, and had given very strong reasons why the Lords of the Treasury should in this instance relax their grounds of opposition, and give these par ties the benefit of a new investigation. He hoped the discus sion the question bad received on this occasion would be the means of eliciting the attention of the public to the subject. Although he feared there was not a sufficient number of Mem bers present that they might get the benefit of a division, he should not let the matter sleep ; but should bring it forward at some future period, and he hoped under more favourable auspices, believing as he did these parties whose cause he advocated were entitled to the property in question. Mr. MORE O'FF. RR AL L had heard opinions delivered by different Lords of the Treasury, but although notes had been taken of the investigation, no report had ever been made. After a few words from Mr. POTTER, Mr. A. TREVOR retured his thanks to the Hon. Member for Bridport, for having brought the matter under the con sideration of the House. The question was then put and negatived without a division, and at Half-past Two the House adjourned. On Wednesday last Hugh and Robert Massy, fine grown boys, sons of the Hon. John Massy, of this city, went to bathe at Aliltown Malbay, when there happened to be a brisk swell upon the beach, along which the sea usually rolls with stupendous force, but waves, which might deter others, could not intimidate those adventurous lads, and after one or two immersions in the briny surge, Robert, the younger, was suddenly lifted up by a fierce billow, and carried out beyond the grasp of his affrighted brother Hugh, when, after a short but ineffectual struggle to regain his footing on the shore, this hapless boy sank under the waves and disappeared. The im mediate witness of this heart-rending catastrophe, in a despe rate effort to save his beloved relative, was also caught up by a swell of the sea, and would have inevitably perished with him, had not Mr. Studdert, alarmed by the critical situation of the boys, rushed into the waves after them, and under Providence it was to his intrepid exertions that the apparently lifeless body of Master Hugh Massy was recovered from the merciless deep, bruised and cut by collision against the rocks. Instan taneous measures were adopted to revive the spark of life, though long unavailing; but after incessant anxious applica tions, animation slowly resumed its progress, and the interest ing object of their solicitude was restored to consciousness.— Limerick paper. -„- THE DUCHESS OF BERRY.—The Carlist Paper, La Itlode, states that the Dueness of Berry, who was reported to be in France, is actually at Prague I Another legitimatist Paper states that the Emperor of Austria lately presented to the daught er o f that Princess a diamond necklace worth 12,0001. The influx of visitors weekly to Boulogne , together with thos e who proceed by that route to Paris, is so that after their arrival and landing from the steam , -easels, it or occupiesgreat, five six hours before the passengers and their luggage can be examined by the Custom. house officers, which is the cause of much inconvenience, for it often happens that many of the individuals are obliged to remain all night in the streets. The Mayor and Town Counc il of Boulo g ne have abolished th e petty nuisance of demanding half a franc for the " accommodation" of a ladder to enter and leave the steam-packets. Accounts from Strasburg state that every branch of industry in the Lower Rhine is in a flourishing state except that the cotton manufactories have experienced some stagna tion on account of the prolongation o f winter, which stopped the usual dem an d i n t h e spring for summer consumption ; so that the warehouses are overstocked, and prices must fall con siderably. The woollen cloth trade continues to prosper. The demand for the Rhine and the canal connecting that river with the Rhone exceeds all expectation. Great public works are going on at Strasburg, which afford support to ti bo § tit ling classes. The accompanying - picture, frightfully true to nature, appears in an article on the " Domestic Arrangements of Working Classes," in the last London and Westminster Review, and may be called a genuine Hogarth in print. The lesson which it holds out, is riot addressed however, to time who supply its subject matter, for they are invo luntary victims to a wretched fate ; but to all who have the influence, and should have the heart to ameliorate the condition of the poor : " The child was one of nine, the eldest of whom had .been born on the ground floor of a house situated in a row in a long dark alley, whore the sun was never seen save at mid-day, and then only occasionally, during the summer's heat. The father had originally been a decent mechanic, earning from twenty-five to thirty shillings per week ; and when his first child was born, there were few men in his station so happy as he, for all his wants were well supplied. His wife was an industrious, cheerful partner ; and the gloominess of their abode was unheeded, relieved as it was by their weekly walk in the green fields. Still more prosperous times came ; and the earnings of the hus band being increased, he was enabled to occupy both the rooms of the first floor. Three more children were born ; and the necessity for a larger supply of food obliged them to encroach on their rent. The fist floor was ex changed for the second ;—the family was increased by two other members, and all removed to the garrets. For some years the weekly walk in the fields had been discontinued by the woman ; and the garments of the husband having become unsightly, he also had ceased to seek the fresh air ; the whole of his time was taken up with providing the food necessary for his children, and his wife was wholly occupied in looking after them, and contriving to keep together the rags which covered them. Two more children were born ; and all were confined to a single back garret, where the wages of the husband being insufficient to appease their hunger, the -wife endeavoured to eke them out by washing for their neighbours, some of whom were not quite so poor as themselves. It was a scene of misery, from which the elder children were glad to escape, and play upon the stair case, or in the court before the house, becoming early inured to disputes and quarrels among themselves and with other children, every room in the house being occupied by a separate family. In the midst of this, the man's wages happened to be reduced ; and after long bearing up against misery, he at last yielded to the habit of intoxication, partly to appease the cravings of unsatisfied hunger, and partly to get rid of thought. His wife still struggled and worked harder, but only to procure food, for all other considerations were now disregarded. In this condition her ninth child was born ; and charity alone—the charity of misery to still greater misery—saved them from starving. But the woman was changed ; she had become reckless through suffering, and the sight of her youngest child only served to remind her that an additional weight of misery had fallen on her. She also took to intoxication as a refuge from pain : the coin which was inadequate to supply food was yet sufficient to produoe a temporary oblivion of the want of it. The fre quent hunger and pain which the child experienced were al leviated in the same manner ;—none smiled on its young eyes when they were opened, and almost the qnly sensation of pleasure it could experience was in gazing vacantly on the rays of sunlight tthieb at some few intervals penetrated the apartment. Mother rind father were now frequently away from home for hours, and sometimes days together ; and remarkable in a sickly infant was the tenacity of life, which would not suffer it to perish. How the other children lived, was a mystery to all but those in a similar condi tion ; they had no daily meals, nor even sat down to food. Like dogs nr wolves, they had a great capacity for endurance ; having no labour to perform, they could exist for days on the smallest possible quantity of food, and they were ever on the alert to beg, snatch, or steal. One feeling alone was uppermost in their minds, which gave room to no other —the pain of unsatisfied hunger. Their dreams, during the scanty time of sleep, Wero of eating ; and when they awakened, it was to seek the means of eating. The elder children took by force from the younger any scraps of food they found with them ; and the younger resorted to cunning to devour them in private. If chance threw in their way a larger booty than ordinary, it was devoured in haste, and in quantity, which left them in the condition of the torpid boa—a prey to the pangs and helplessness of over repletion. " Gloomy was the daily scene on which the young child gazed when his faculties began to awaken.. During the summer he would crawl towards the miserable casement, and look upwards through the interstices of surrotznding stacks of chimnies, to maze upon the light; but when win ter came, he shrunk shivering, huddled up in his rags, towards the fire-place, which rarely contained a fire ; and when by chance it did, - volumes of smoke filled the apart ment, and clouded over the wretched fragments called fur niture, which only remained unsold by the parents be cause they were worth no one's purchase. Ere the child was old enough to descend the stairs, to follow the pur suits of his brothers and sisters, the whole family were ejected from their miserable abode, to one still more wretched—they were driven to the cellar. It was in the autumn, and the damp of the place soon made a fearful change. Ere they had been a week in it, the whole of them were laid prostrate by typhus fever. The father, the two eldest boys, and the youngest, alone sur vived to endure farther suffering. They might even then have become worthy members of society, had the father retained strength of purpose or moral feeling, for the dispo sition of the eldest boy was naturally kind and benevolent, ere it had been hardened by want and misery. But it was now too late ; and the intellect of the boy only served to make him a skilful thief. The whole family were main tained by the provisions which he, and his brother under his directions, contrived to pilfer. Occasionally they were com mitted to prison, to pursue the same course when again en larged. The Magistrates lectured them, and warned them to change their course, knowing at the same time that if they ceased to steal they must starve, or go on the parish, for they knew no other means of earning a living ; they lived in the belief that thieving was their proper trade, and those who punished them for it, tyrants, whose only right was might. The heart of the eldest boy which yearned for affec tion, expanded towards the young child, who was accustomed to look for his return home as his only source of pleasure, and when the father died of disease and debauchery, he took him for his protige, and removed to a more healthy abode. The other brother disappear ed, no one knew whither ; and when the youngest attained the age of seven years, his only friend, his only protector, the only being who loved him, was taken from him by a sentence of transportation. Left alone in the world, he became a thief at that early age, and ere he attained eight years, he became acquainted with the interior of a prison. Harshly treated by all, he grew fierce and reckless ; and as his intellect expanded, he became a fearful spoiler of his kind. He loved no one, and trusted no one — sensual excitement was his only pleasure, his only wish, and he revelled in every kind of debauchery. His na tural energy was divided between the pursuits of rob bery, and the dissipation of the gains acquired by it. His intelligence succeeded in putting o ff t o a distant pe riod the retribution with which he knew society would sooner or later visit him ; and he had attained twenty-three years of age ere he was convicted of felony, and transported to a penal colony. His career was then s hort. On the voyage he planned a mutiny, which failed ? f o s n uc i ce d s! by the treachery of an intended accomplice ; d a k n ind which would the punishment inflicted on him was of a . c would have destroyed every spark of humanity in_ him, had any remained. He escaped , and became a leader of bush rangers ; his hands were made familiar with human blood ; and after going through scenes of the most disgusting hor rors, he was shot, like a wild beast, in his lair, by those who feared to approach him from terror of his untamable ferocity. Yet this being was once a gentle infant, smiling ocence." n inn . Mr. C. Gree n, with the Marqu i s of Clanricarde, de scended at about five minutes past 7, about a mile on the Lon don side of Farningham, in Kent ; and they shortly afterwards started off for town in a postchaise and four, and arrived at Vauxhall -gardens at half -past 10, after a most delightful trip, where the Noble Marquis joined a party of his friends who were waiting his return. Mr. Green expressed some sur prise at the readiness with which his noble fellow-aeronaut re cognized the different parts of the metropolis as they passed it; and the Marquis himself appeared highly delighted with his novel trip. Mr. W. Green and his wife, with the other balloon, alighted about three miles further from town, without any thing remarkable having occurred. Nothing could be more favourable than the weather, of which the sight lovers took full advantage. There were full 8,000 people in the gardens before the balloons ascended,beside the immense num bers who contented themselves with a sight without the pre cincts of the gardens.

ATTEMPT AT MUZDER AND ROBBERY ON WIMBLEDON-COMMON.—Since Friday last the village of Wimbledon end its neighbourhood has been greatly excited in consequence of a most daring robbery and attempt at murder, which is at present involved in conside,-able mystery, having been committed at an early hour on that mo rning on Wimble don-common. It appears that about five o'flock on Friday morning as a boy about 15 years of age , name.
