An inquest was held on Friday by Mr. liumphrey, the coroner for Middlesex, at the Leigh lloy Tavern, Mile-end New-town, on view of the body of James WillLan Alloy, aged 61, the man who was found dead in a shed in Red Lion-court, Spitalfields, under the circumstances reportel in The Sent. of the 23J ins'. William Adolphus Alley, 106, York-street, Commercial-road, a painter, sail,the deceased was my father ; he was a newsagent. A f m-tnight ago I la-t ea x him alive ; he the❑ c 11101 upon me. Last winter he was attacked by g ►rotters at the corner of Henry-street ; they knocked out so ne of his teeth, kicked him and beat hint, and robbed him of 16s. I did not see him for six months after. Wi.pn. last I saw him he said that there was something the matter with his knees. He did not complain fur ther. He had quite enough to keep bin). Last year he offered me £2, but I toll him to apply it to his own purposes. By the Coroner —I did not know that he used to pick up rags and bones about the streets. I did not know until July that he lived in Red Lion-court. I went past his door, but I never went iu, for he liked to be by himself. lie told me he had two rooms. I have not seen the shed in which he lived. I did not go into it since his death. 1 did not think of it. We are not on friendly terms, but we were not at vari ance, for we had not any words. A Juror— And whether your father lived in a palace or in a pigsty you did not care? Witness—Exactly so . I was in a position to have relieved him, but he never asked me. A Juror—But his appearance ought to have been sufficient. Witness--Oh, that, Sir, was his style. The conduct and manner of the witness gave rise to exclamations of indignation with part of the jury. Mrs. Lucy Lawley, 12, Red Lion-court, Spitalfields, the wife of a cooper, said the deceased took the shed or lean-to next to her house four years ago. He paid her is. 6d. a week rent ; for the last two months be paid monthly. When he first took the place he said he wante 1 it for a lumber-room. It was not fit for human habi tation, but she believed that he lived in it for two years past. He kept the key, and allowed no access to the place. Witness saw him last on Sunday al a quarter to four o'clock, when she gave him some tea, as she tften did, because he was without a fire place in his shed. There was only an earthen floor in it. On Monday when she knocked he did not answer, but later in the day she thought she heard him moving about. She used to buy her papers from him. She did not know that he picked up bones, &c., about the roads. On Mon day night the police came and told her that the man was dead. She had not ventured to enter the shed since. 'I he decased had a daughter who was much cut up by what had happened. Police-con stable Wilson, 213 H, said that a woman directed his attention to the shed on Monday night at half past 11 o'clock. Witness ascertained that the de ceased was dead in the shed, and he sent for a sur geon. The smell from the place was quite unbear able. There were rags and bones in a heap in the shed ; deceased was lying on them. There was not a chair or a box or any furniture in the place. It was not fit for any animal to live in. The rags and bones and teapots, &c., were worth a few shillings. Mr G. B. Philips, police surgeon, said that he was called to the shed on Monday night. The heaps of filth inside prevented the door from opening, and the police had to break in. The de ceased was cold and stiff. He had been dead some hours. The body was covered with vermin, which had perforated the skin. The stench was the worst he had ever experienced. The body was partly nude. There was a coloured apron ou it, by which witness identified the deceased as a man whom he had seen picking up crusts and rubbish about the streets. Ile considered that the apron was worn for want of other garments. The post mortem examination showed there was no blood, it wasmerely water. The cause of death was starvation of very length)ned duration. The Coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased was found dead in a shed from the mortal effects of starvation, and that the conduct of the deceased's son was most unfeeling, and deserved great repro bation." The coroner said that he entirely con curred with the jury in their estimation of the con duct of the son. The jury stated that they thought Mrs. Lawley was also censurable for allowing a man to live for two years in such a state in a shed which was not fit to kennel a dog in. The coroner re fused to allow the son or Mrs. Lawley any fees as witnesses. The Hamburg American Company's new screw steamer, the Westphalia, left Southampton, Sept. 18, on her first voyage to New York.

Neynaber, sailed from South hampton at 9 p.m. on Tuesday for New York, with the English, French, and German mails, jewellery from Havre value 100,700 francs, and a full cargo. She took out a full compliment of cabin passengers, among whom are Mr. F. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. Shilter, Mr. C. Fischbach, &c. The Steamship Arago, Captain G. W. Browne, which called off Cowes on Monday afternoon, on hervoyage from New York to Bremen, brought 128 passengers (41 of whom were landed for that port and Havre), and a full cargo of general merchandise, including 173 bales of cotton, 490 cases of leaf tobacco, 31 hhds. of tobacco, pnd three cases of cigars. She encountered a succession of easterly gales since leaving the Banks of Newfoundland. At 4.30 p.m. on the 19th the Arago exchanged signals with t!‘e Bremen bark Amalia, bound for the Channel, the S Allys bearing E. by N. 210 miles, and at 5 p.m. with a bark showing English colours and a private signal, white ground, letters B and S in red, also bound east. The Arago was formerly en gaged on the line between Havre and New York. She is appointed to leave Sonthampton on her return voyage from Bremen to New York, on Tuesday, the 6th of October. PRICE.— 4d. STAMPED 53. An immense congregation assembled in St, paui'e Cathedral on Sunday afternoon, to hear the Rev. Canon Melville. Every available seat was occupied, and hundreds went away unable to obtain standing room. The great repute of the preacher, and the expectation that his sermon would have reference to the death of the late Dean Milman, was the cause of the unusual attendance. The pulpit, cora., munion table, and reading desk were draped in black. The text was from the 13th and 14th verses of the Epistle of St. Paul to the Phillippians. The preacher dwelt with much eloquence on the character of the great apostle, and closed his sermon with these remarks : "It would hardly become me to speak in this cathedral of a Christian course that is going on to perfection, and to omit all men. Lion of that honoured and venerable man, the Dean of St. Paul's, who has just gone hence to his everlasting rest. A lengthened mention would indeed be better when the cathedral which he long dignified by his presi dency shall have received, as it soon will, his honoured remains ; but .1 may not hesitate to express the deep sense which all connected with St. Paul's entertain of the irreparable loss which his decease has entailed. llis vast and varied learning, his extraordinary diversified powers—the scholar, the poet, the historian, the critic, the divine—his large and tolerant views, his simple, unaffected piety—Oh ! where can we hope to find again such a union? Better than all, better than the, accumulated stores of knowledge—accumulated but ever ready to be communicated—better than the strivings of a vigorous intellect,. better than the soarings of a brilliant imagination, better than all or any of these, was the simple and childlike docility with which, as we believe, our dean received the Gospel of Christ, and the firm, unflinching. faith with which he rested on Christ his Redeemer. W e shall lay him in his grave in the sure and certain hope of a resurrection to eternal life, not because he has left few to rival him in erudition, in sagacity, in large. heartedncss, and in acuteness, but because we believe than as a Christian man he daily endeavoured to become more what a Christian should be, and that, conscious of defects, but yearning after perfection, he would have said to the last, in the words of our text, " Forgetting the things that are behind, I reach forward to those which are; before.' " ECCLESIASTICAL APPOINTMENTS. It his been stated that the bishopric of Peterborough, will be conferred upon the Rev. Robert Fremantle, of Claydon Rectory, Bucks. Mr.. Fremantle was educated at Christ Church and Magdalen Colleges, Oxford, and graduated B.A. without honours in 1829, and M. A. in 1832. He was ordained deacon in 1833, and priest in 1834. In 1841 he was presented by Sir H. Verney to the rectory of East Claydon, in the ; diocese of Oxford, worth £3OO a year and a house. That preferment Mr. Fremantle still holds. He became rural dean, and preached the sermon at the Bishop of Oxford's first triennial visitation. He is the author of "Eastern Churches," " Memoir of the Reverend Spenser Thornton," which has reached a fourth edition, and " Light from the New Testament." He is a Low Churchman, and a frequent correspondent of the Church papers. In 18E4 he took a very prominent part in behalf of Ala% Hardy at the Oxford University election. One of our contemporaries, however, denies emphatically that this appointment has been made, and it seems scarcely probable that Mr. Disraeli would select for the important duties of a bishopric a clergyman who has passed his life as rector of a small agricultural village, when there is such a man as Mr. Cadman belong.. ing to the same party, who might be selected. 11T.1:„ Fremantle did nothing at the university, and can have nn organising experience. He would owe his appointment entirely to political influence. Archdeacon Hale, whose name is mentioned in connection with the deanery of St. Paul's, was educated at Oriel College, Oxford, and took a double second class in 1817. He was appointed Archdeacon, of London, with canonry of St. Paul's annexed, in 1842, the annual value of the preferment being £670. Previously to that he was vicar of St. Giles's, Cripplegate. He is also Master of the Charterhouse. The list of his works occupies a whole column in " Crockford." He has written in favour of church rates, against Romanism, in behalf of the revival of the sub-diaconate, a history of Christ's Hospital and of the Charterhouse, several devotional and some antiquarian works, and has contributed to the "Encyclopedia Metropolitana." Some years ago he was engaged in a rather angry controversy, in consequence of the suppression of intramural interments, and the loss of clerical fees resulting therefrom. He is a Low Church. man. THE LATE EDITOR OF THE "SATURDAY REVIEW." The London correspondent of the Elgin Courant says: The will of Mr. Cook, the late editor of the Saturday Review, has been proved, and the personalty sworn under £50,000. This must be a loose estimate, for Mr. Cook's half of the Saturday Review can hardly be estimated with any precision. The Saturday is a very :apital property, but the returns of newspaper pro- Perty are proverbially variable. Mrs. Hayter, who is the residuary legatee, has come in for a fine legacy, and may now be held as half proprietrix of the Saturday; his " Bataviau Grace," Mr. Beresford Hope, of course owning the other half. Mr. Cook was particularly short of relations, and used to rejoice heartily in the fact. A young gentleman connected with your quarter by mar riage—Mr. Adrian Hope —comes in for Mr. Cook's cigars and tobacco. Of both he had a very large stock. His cigars were of matchless quality, and there never was a special sale that he had not an agent looking out for him, His own particular delight was in an old full-flavoured Havana, but of late years he took a good deal to cheroots. His stock of tobacco, too, was something very recherche, and he was quite a connoisseur in pipes. The Saturday Review will, I think, under Mr. Harwood, be a better property even than when Mr. Cook was at the helm. Mr. Harwood is more cautious, and there is no question that at times Mr. Cook did himself and the paper harm by admitting reckless articles. "Mr. Gladstone in the Gutter" was a specimen which cost the Review many an old standard subscriber. Of one thing I am certain, that the printer's bill will be very much lighter. The old gentleman neverread a manuscript ;it always went to the printer, where the copy was kept unsullied, so as not to betray the process in case of unsuit ability, and it was read and judged by Mr. Cook when in type. Many articles, too, were passed and paid for that were never used. There was always a quantity of matter standing over, and it is a curious circumstance how soon matter standing over becomes obsolete and out of date, in which case, of course, there is nothing for it but to " dis tribute " it. " Punch and Judy," hitherto unknown in America, have made their appearance on Boston Common, attended by vast crowds. We understand (says the South London Press) that the practice of permitting a layman to read the lessons has been introduced into the church of St. Barnabas, South Kennington, at the Sunday afternoon services. This custom is perfectly in accordance with ecclesiastical A petition signed by forty magistrates, and laid before the Lord-Lieutenant and Privy Council, prays for an addition of fifteen polling-places to the two ridings of the county of Tipperary, " should there be sufficient time between the present date and the issuing of the electoral writs to create the required number." A certain registrar in a certain town is unfor tunately very deaf. One day lately a woman went to register the birth of her child, and had to answer the usual questions. To the one—" Were you present at the birth?" the astonished woman answered, "I'm the mither o' the bairn." " But that is not an answer to my ques tion," replied the registrar ; " were you present at the birth?" "Yes, of course," she said ;"I was there." BLOW. FOR BLOW.—The Express gives the follow ing as a neat instance of a "blow for blow " :—The Siecle having stated that " the coup de main at Cadiz wa s executed with a precision and decision which did much honour to Admiral Tepete, the Imperial organ, L'Eten. dard, rebuked the Siecle as follows :---" Thus a military man—a man placed by a regular Government over one of the great forces of the State—can deserve the praises of the Siecle for having voluntarily betrayed his duty, falsified his oath , a nd directed a g ainst the Go v e rnment of his country the arms which were confided to hinr." The Siècle retorts : "Stop, stop ! good Etcndard I You forget whose you are, and what application may be made of your words. Stop, in Heaven's name. You are talking of things--- . The Bishop of Carlisle has again come into collision with his High Church clergy. These wished to esta blish a "Burial Guild of the Holy Trinity" for mil tivating a more reverential mode of conducting fune rals. Among other " innovations " they enjoin that wax candles should be kept continually burning near the body of the departed, that the precession should be preceded by a cross, that the coffin should be headed in church by four wax candles, that incense should be used, 4nd the "Holy Eucharistic sacrifice" celebrated. The bishop writes very strongly against them, and concludes his letter— ', by deprecating the institution of a society which, appeal lag to the susceptibilities of human affection, seizes upon the opening thus afforded for entering upon a course of which the manifest tendency is the setting up anew in our Church some of the worst saperstiti Rof ouLiToikalatauld -~.
