THE LONDON JOURNALS. VXTRACTS FROM THE . I>A tLY MORNING PATERS, August 29, 1522. [MORNING POST.] - • 'be Klag . ,,-laying aside all the usual formality of State, fully entered into the spirit of the fes- Jive:scene, which he honoured with his presence Uu.Saturday last, at Edinburgh. lie repeatedly Jaid4i . e.ssed the company in concise and appro priate :speeches, the sentiments of which must .have made ariindelible impreSsion on his hearers; Itutl.lais Majesty retired amidst the fervent and lopg continued acclamations of the brilliant as sembly, .who regretted .the early departure of their illustrious Guest. The Lord Provost pre sided for the Lest of the evening, and various appropriate toasts were enthusiastically drunk. One of them, " the healths of his Grace the Duke of Hamilton and the Peers of Scotland," proposed. by Lord Melville, called up the former Nobleman, who certainly made a very speech upon the occasion. There is a season for ev‘ry thing, says the adage—but never was any thing more out of season than the egotistical rhodomontade of his Grace. lAre suppose no body doubted his " stedfast readiness to main tain a loyal duty to his Sovereign," or, that he was the readiest among the ready, to " come for .ward and pay homage to the honour and dignity of the Crown." We are not disposed to cavil at ing these sentiments, however unnecessary their declaration might be : but why lug in, as if Tie were addressing a mob of Parliamentary Re formers, the " just and jealous rare which he was bound to observe towards the rights and rnterests of the people ?" And again : " .He felt a pride in ben ipg every respect and honour to whomso ever:wore the Crown of these realms ; but, in doing so, he repeated, that he must not forget, In - honouring the King, that he had also duties to Put in a.claim for, and maintain, on the part of the people, which were interwoven with the best rights and securities of the Crown," &c. &c. IR the name of wonder, what had the rights itnd privileges Of the people to .do with a civic bViquet given to the Sovereign ! His Grace might have.introduced an episode about an Egyp tian mummy, arid it would have been just as germane to the business of the day—just as good wproof of his Grace's taste, and more acceptable to - the co.inpany--for the contemptuous silence was observed when his Grace sat down must have taught - him the value they set upon his Oration. It•was only a - higher sense of decoruth than was displayAl before them, .that prevented ,the expression of no unequivocal marks of dis gust at such an imbecile attempt to mingle the acrimony of political:feeling with the joyous and, :loyal• enthusiasm that peilided - every booth. - 7 [AlortNrNo cifitoxrct.r..] • ,Some anxious apprehensions, we find, have been .expressed, lest the delicacy of my Lord Col chester's health may unhappily compel him to . *t.,:line the honour of . a seat in the Cabinet, it: is said, his Lordship's friends intend to'propose.for him. The assiduous duties of the Speaker's Chair are understood to have produced injurious effects;which neither time nor travelling live sensibly ameliorated. Perhaps, however, Lordship's constitution is qilLelastic enough for the duties of office, and we are not without 12 - cpe§ but the exercise of body and mind, which a'Cabinet Minister is paid to undergo, might much contribute to his eventual recovery. At the time of tasl.ordship's elevAtion'to the Peerage, those best acquainted with the nature of his complaint iiOnceived that a removal 'to Whitehall might be productive of the most salutary consequences, and regretted that he should have been under the necessity of undertaking apilgrimage to St. Peter's. We understand that Sir Lowry Cole is ap pninted.to the Government of the Mauritius, in the room of Goveinor'Farquhar, who returns to England forthwith. It is said that a distinguished Officer who some time . bacic. filled an important sitUall9n immediately inider his Royal. Highness the:Corrifnande'r in• Chief, would have obtained this q,ppointment, ha'd his health permitted its acceptance. Sir Lowry Cole will,probably, find a sufficient compensation for the insalubrity of an Easieral climate in the handsome emoluments of Eastern Governoro4)p.—(ibid,) {New wer.s.l Last night W received the Paris Journals of MOnday, and. Mad'rid, Papers to the 17th inst.-- General, Mina suddenly left the Spanish capital on the 15th to take the command in Catalonia. We present elsewhere a view of the lamentable state of that Province ; which is the more itn-, portant, as it proceeds from a quarter where the , greatest uo,villingness must , prevail to admit the extent of the disorders, and the strength of the Royalists. It is said that Madrid oas in a state of, perfect tranquillity, and 'that it was there expected that the war in litavarre and Catalonia would speedily be biought to a close. That such expectations were indulged „is psebabie enough, enslaved as the Press is, by the rull.'ng faction ; but we can find nointel .Jgcnce w no. can in aLy may justify them.

NS' e. learn, .however, that. in the con templation,of a Congress, Vienna abounds with a tliquand ;Rumours of the l probable topics which will occupy the attention of the assembly. We aotice it as a remarkable circurnstance,• that. a report should prevail in the capital of Austria that it is intended by the Allied So vereigns to restore the ancient Kingdom of Poland to its original power, and place upon the Throne an independent Sovereign. We can not hope that Austria, Russia, and Prussia, will disgorge the rich plunder which they had seve rally acquired upon the first partition, nor that Russia will consent to resign what still remains of Poland, and which in fact now constitutes one of the fairest portions of the Russian Empire.— But the prevalence of such a rumour evinces the current of public opinion in Germany, and proves the existence of a wish that 'justice should at length be done to a noble and gallant nation. We learn from the German Papers that a society exists in Poland called Polonia, the object of which is to effect by any means the re-union of that country, and to accomplish its independence. It is a glorious purpose as it affects Poland alone, but as it regards Europe in general, it embraces a principle of policy which the ambi tion and power of Russia ought to make valuable to every other Cabinet. [MORNING HERALD.] His Majesty is, most likely, by this time, on his return, after a pleasant and auspicious visit to his Scottish subjects.—The ardour and unani mity of the public joy has not been broken by the slightest incident ; and though political feel ing is, we believe, as strong, and as directly op posed in Edinburgh as in any part cif the Em pire, it is equally creditable to the sense of duty and the sense of propriety of the two great par ties to have, for the time, agreed to a truce of contention. The speech of the Duke of Hamil ton is scarcely an • exception. More notice has been taken of it, and more weight given to it, than it deservedeven, we should think, in the Noble Duke's own estima tion. An eulogy upon it, as a display of public spirit and independence, is vulgar and pre posterous; and a censure of what seems a were lapse of judgment, at a moment when the judgment may have been no longer perfectly collected and cool, is indeed scarcely candid. It appears that the Noble Duke spoke after his Majesty had already departed. It would have been better, however, that the speech had not been made—a proof of which is, that it found no response in the Assembly to which it was ad dressed. Party politics should, on such an occa sion, have been religiously abstained from. There were two things which should have excluded all reference to this irritating, though hackneyed sub ject—the Royal presence, and the genius of hospi tality. The social circle should, on occasions like this, be like that sacred piece of ground in the ter ritory of one of the small Republics of ancient GreeCe, which was no sooner entered by enemies arrayed against each other, than they religiously laid aside their arms and met in peace. There may be, and 'doubtless there are, occasions enough for asserting the rights of the people, and lecturing upon the freedom of the nation and the constitutional limits of the Crown, even so openly that the lecture may reach the ears of Kings; but in this instance the occasion was Unhappily . taken —or, it may be, was taken in a moment of thoughtlessness. [THE TIMES.] .. . The Tories, we find, are somewhat displeased with the Duke of Hamilton, for the undisguised frankness with which he delivered his sentiments at the Edinburgh Corporation dinner. Gene rally speaking, it.must be acknowledged th a t a political assembly is the proper place for the ex- _ . pression of political opinions; and' to a certain extent we may be disposed to hesitate about the taste or prudence exhibited by the No ble Duke in taking a compliment of pure courtesy offered to himself at a convivial meeting, as the text for a profession of his constitutional faith. and principles, when nei ther were brought into dispute. But having said so much, Ave have, as it appears to us,- left nothing unsaid that can be fairly urged in the way of objection to the speech of this respect able Nobleman. If his taste was doubtful, his spirit and honesty were entitled to the warmest applause. .Nap, the less apt or inviting the ccca sion in the judgment of ordinary men, the more conspicuous was the proof thus afforded of the zeal and noble jealousy by which his Grace was animated on behalf of the cause of public liberty and of his own honour, as.. - the head of the ancient Peers of Scotland. It perhaps oc curred to his Grace's mind, that when his health was drank in conjunction with the Scottish Peerage, he took no unfit or unbecoming license, by vindicating his claim; to so high a compliment, and putting on record his own sense of the solemn obligations and exalted duties of the Peerage. It is possible that his Grace might apprehend some • unhappy .misconstruction of the toast, or of the conditions on which he accepted his share of it, if he did not, by an oblique though intelligible protest, contrive to purify himself personally, from • the suspicion that the virtues and services which' entitled' him to such an honour, were precisely of the same class and kind 'as those which consti tuted the .well-known title of many of his noble brethreu, then present, to be embraced within it. It is, again, more than probable that. his Grace perceived the' tide of Toryism - to set so strongly among certain, ranks or the citizens and others who surrounded him, that it was useful to oppose the head of the Aristocracy to the torrent. We do . not regret that the first N6bleman in Scotland has acted this _proud •and manly part-that he has rebuked, almost in the euspicious . presence of that Sovereign who owed his Crown to Whig, principles, the' base de-; votion of.Jacobitism ito the creed of arbitrary power. :Nor could it be otherwise than benefi cial - to . his .:Majesty himself to show the world; that although he might invest. his person with' the plaid and insignia of the House of:Stuart, there were in Scotland true and faithful Counsellors, who Would: remind,him, if necessary . , that the imitation must be_ pushed no further.

LANCAtTER, Mc) Auo. 26. CRO WN COO RT.—RAPE. James Lowe, aged 21, arid James Pajfrey-man, aged 19; Were charged with ravishing, and with assisting and abetting John llfackintrisla in ravishing, 'Mary Burgess at Heaton Norris, (John Mackintosh, Charles Machir, Thomas Lowton, and Joseph Dale, absconded.)' Mr. Asnwormr stated the case to the Jury, which he re presented as more pregnant with cruelty and barbarity than any that had ever come before a Jury. it was painful to give even the outline. It must appear extraordinary that seven per sons should be each charged with having committed the crime ; but if the offence was committed, that was sufficient to convict all who were aiding and abetting of the crime. The Learned Gentleman then detailed the circumstances and facts to be given in evidence. Mary Burgess—l live in Heaton Norris. I was in Stockport with a person of the name of Pepper on the 25th of May—a Saturday night. He was my sweetheart. I had been in a pub lic-house with him, and came out between ten and eleven o'clock. I was ill at the time. I was not falling down. I fell sick when I came down. I went forward on the Under Bank. There I stopped. There was a gang of fellows that came up to John Pepper and me, and they carried me away— first in their arms, then on their shoulders. I lived then in Stockport. 1 was carried to Heaton Norris. I never recol lected myself afterwards till I found myself in my brother's house in Heaton Norris ; that was about six o'clock next morn log. I found myself very ill and sick. My legs and breast were disc loured. I felt lame. [Here the witness seemed so reserved in her evidence, that his Lordship reminded her that she had been before a Magistrate, and that public justice re quired her to speak out, and state what she knew.] She thought her person had been violated. By Mr. WittiAms, for Lowe—l had not been accustomed to liquor, and a little runs and water which I took made me mazy and sick, and I lost all recollection till next morning. I recollect men carrying me but nothing else. Jane Burgess--I am wife of the brother of the last witness. 1 recollect her being brought to our house between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning. She was in a very bad state, not sensible till between seven and eight o'clock next morning. I said, " I think you are in a very bad state ;" and she said, " I think I am." Pepper fetched her to our house. She com plained that she felt very sore. She had neither bonnet, cap shoes, or pocket on her. Her petticoats and her clothes were . torn, hanging to her, and she was covered with dirt. She went from our house an hour or two after, and was very ill; she was able to go • she could not walk well. By Mr. WiLtiAms--1 can't tell whether.she was insensible from liquor or not. James Lees.—l was on my way home between 11 and 12 at night; passed the Horse Shoe in Heaton Norris; saw a num ber of men, and they had a woman ; she was down. I saw John Pepper at that time. Pepper was claiming her, and said she was his sweetheart. They said he had no business with her. A man of the name of.). Bower pulled Pepper away, and insisted on some of the men assisting him in taking Pepper away to the New Bailey, and said he would have the woman out of the town. SOme of the men assisted him. I stood heark ening and looking what there was to do. They took the woman away, and that being my way, I followed towards Manchester. They took her into a by-lane. between Mr. Swingles's and John James's. I stopped on the old road to see whether Pepper and the men that were with him would come. (The witness here gave an account of what he saw the men doing with the woman.) James Lowe sat at the side of her head, and acted as superin tendent of the horrible transaction. I said to Lowe—" It is a shame to use any woman so." " 4 Ay, (he said) it is." With that I turned away. Pepper and James Lee came up, and Pepper said—" She is here, will some of you assist me, and I will carry her away from them if I should lose my life." She lay on her back and appeared insensible. There were from 13 to 20 persons about her then.. .Pepper carried her away on his back. Her clothes ware torn, and her hair hanging down all roads. ,She was falling off Pepper's back, and I helped her better on. I went towards home. I thund Lowe before me. He turned himself round and said—" Man, don't follow her again, now you have done what you would with her." I went on and Lowe turned away. James Bower came up and tapped me on the shoukler,sind said " I insist upon your assisting me to take this man and this' woman up," meaning Pepper and Mary Burgess. Jesse Dale was there. John Pepper.--I: wasstoming . out of a public-house with Mary Burgess in thoUn4erbank. She said she was ill. She tumbled down. Persons came upand asked to assist her home. I said I should be obliged to them to let us alone. They said they would have me tai en. to the New Bailey, and her out of the town. They carried` her to the Horse Shoe, and let her down, so that .her head bounced against the flag. They carried her off then, some at her head, some at her feet. I said it was a shame to use any woman so. They said it was nothing at all to me, they would do.what Tthey;liked with her. They asked her if she was any thing to Me i " and she said " No.' They talked of murdering me if I followed. Five of them held me for ten minutes or fifteen minutes, whil,e she was carried away. I ' went with James Lees to find her after that. (He described how he found her, and mentioned some most brutal barbari ties). I carried her to her brother's. She was all the time in a state of insensibility. Robert Crickley. —I was with the prisoner Lowe, in 'Heaton Norris, on the 25th of May. There were twelve or fourteen men and one woman. Johii Mackintosh was among them. Lowe was there, and Palfreyman, who was looking like the rest.—( This witness, quite a youth, spoke to four or five, as perpetrators of the crime charged.) John Brogden Sladen, surgeon at Stockport, saw Mary Bur gess on the following Thursday. She laboured under a fever, very poorly, and under a considerable irritation. The cause he , believed to be the violence charged in the indictment. Francis Donovan went in search of Palfrepnan after the 25th to his house, two or three times. I did not find him at home. On the 10th of June, I met him going out of town. He acknowledged his name. I said I wanted him for the rape on Manchester-hill. Ile - said he knew nothing at all about it, and was not there. He said he had not been there after four on Saturday afternoon, and lie could prove where he was. He seemed very much alarmed. By Mr. Cove sinsr for Palfreyman.—l had not particularly searched for Palfreyman for a week before. James Lowe, in defence, told a long story, to show that he had not been one of the party, but had accidentally come where they were, and exerted himself to prevent the outrages. James Palfreyman said be never saw any thing of the kind. William Rutherford was called for Lowe. He stated nothing material. James Lees was recalled for Lowe. Lowe came to me on Sunday morning, defending_ . and proving. I was not acting on the night in question in the way of constable. Mr. Baron Woon summed up. Ire had never heard of such a scene of outrage. One would have supposed that in a country like this, such a scene could not have existed. The Jury retired for a quarter of an hour—James Palfrey man, Not Guilto ; James Lowe, Not Guilty. Mr. Baron WOOD.—Prioners, I hope this will be a warn ing to you, and that you will conduct yourselves better in future. Prisoners.—Thank you, my Lord. MALICIOUSLY CL;TTING.-JEALOUSY. Martha Milns, aged 31, was charged with maliciously cut ting and maiming her husband George Milns, with intent to murder.or to disfigure and disable him, at Oldham. Mr. QOLTMAN stated the case to the Jury. George Milns.—l haVe been married to the prispner fifteen years, and have had eight children. There had bcen no quar rel between us for several days before. She' thought that I had been with another woman, nine or ten days before. She charged me with it. I came home on the afternoon of the 14th of June. I wanted supper. She said there was no water. I went for water to make tea. She. made none, so I went to bed. The bed had not been made, and I made it myself. She was not in liquor. She had had a glass of rum and water. She had not been in the habit of getting liquor since she had been a woman, till she had her last child in April. I awoke about three o'clock with a violent pain which struck to my heart.L.: She stood at the bed with a razor in her hand. I said, " 0 dear, what hast thou been doing now ? .Thou hast killed me, thou Last killed me." She said she had not done it. 1 turned the clothes down, and found that a part was cut off. Much blood issued from the wound. I did not observe whether there was blood on the razor. She had gone down stairs. I could not wake my eldest son. I went down and found the doer open. I went to the surgeon in my shirt. I saw my wife in the street, with the youngest child in her arms. I went home then to bed. Charles Hopwood was the first man that came to me.— The surgeon, Mr. Bella, came at half past four. I was taken to the infirmary at Manchester. By the CouRT.—I thought she was not in her right mind. I believe she was not. I. thought she was often not in her right mind since her last child. Robert Chadwick went to the house about half past five ; met the prisoner, having the youngest child in her arms. took her, into custody. 1 asked what she had done; she said she had done nothing, that he came home in that state. I said to her not to deny doing it, for there wo u ld h ave .been blood upon him when he came home if it had ,been done. She said, C 6 I .have .done, it,. I haveidone it." She pointed out die gar den into which she had thrown what she lied cut Off. By the COURT.—She 'discoursed as in her senses. Bellott, the . surgeou, said,the w oun d .was a dangerous wound. I knew nothing of her before. Sh e repeatedly. said, " It was not me. He came horne'in that.state." She cried. Her declaration before the Magistrate was proved, and read. It charged acts of the most barbarous cruelty on the part of the husband. Her husband was recalled, and denied the facts stated. The prisoner said she had never been well since her last child, and did not know what she had done. She hoped they would forgive her *this time, fol the sake of her dear little in fant. She wept most bitterly, and while his Lordship was summing up, she dropped off the place where she stood, ap parently in a swoon. Verdict—Guilty, but insane. MANSLAUGHTER. Joseph Mayan, aged 24, was charged with killing and slay ing Joseph Wimpenny, at Prestwick-cum-Oldham, on the 3d of June. James Garside, aged 22, and Benjamin Hully, aged 19, were charged with aiding and abetting Joseph Mayan. Mr. COLTMAN stated the case. John - Williamson was in the tap-room of the Red Lion public-house on the 3d of June, between 10 and 11. Mayan smacked Benjamin Wimpenny on the face, and said it was for what he had done at Challender's once. Benjamin said, if it was for that, he might smack again, he would not fight. John Wimpenny got up and smacked Mayall on the face. Mayan then got hold of the old man, John Wimpenny, father of Ben jamin and Joseph, by the legs, and pulled him on the ground. Mayall and Joseph Wimpenny fought up and down the house. Mayan leaped on Joseph when he was down and knee'd him. Joseph said he would fight if Mayan would give over when he wanted. Wimpenny then wished him to give over. After that, Mayall knee'd him on the belly. Wimpenny afterwards seemed very poorly. He walked out of the room to go home. Garside and Hully seemed only to watch the same as others : they never meddled. They only said they must have a fair fight. Stuart Woolstoncraft offered to part them. Garside and Hully would not let.any one enter the ring. By Mr. ARMSTRONG.—The father struck Mayall after he had twice struck his son Benjamin. Mayan then pulled the father, and the two sons attacked Mayall. It was then that Garside and Hully interfered and said—" One to one is fair play." Stuart Woolstoncraft did not think that Garside and Hully knew whether he wanted to rid them or to strike. Mr. Taylor, surgeon, stated that a rupture of the bladder was the cause of death, which must have been occasioned by falling on the ground and kneeling. The prisoners successively said " No" to his Lordship's question whether they had any thing to say. Mr. Beckett, in the coal trade, gave them all good cha-- racters. Mayal Guilty, (inside Not Guilty, Hu lley Not Guilty. FORGERY. _Mary M'Lean, alias Mary Bannor, 28, was charged with uttering a forged one pound Bank of England note, knowing it to be forged. Mr. CLARKE stated the case., This was not a Bank prose cution, but a prosecution by the town of Liverpool, for uttering a forged note of the Bank, after it had called in all its one pound notes. Phebe Sarge stated, that the note was offered to her in pay ment of a fourteenpenny loaf, and that she ran away while the witness went to inquire whethe the note was good. Witness followed her to learn from whom she had got it. The prisoner began to box witness, and say, " Give me my note." She said she had run on account of her child. Prisoner said she had walked, and not run, on account of a young child she had. The note was proved to be forged.—Guilty, and recom mended to mercy. CORONER'S INQUEST. An Inquest was held yesterday morning at the Sun and Horse-shoe, corner of Mortimer-street, Great Titch= field-street, Mary-le-bone, on the body of Mr. James Kelly, a cabinet-maker, in Mortimer-street, whose death had occurred under some suspicious circumstances. At ten o'clock the Jury were sworn by Mr. STIRLING, the Coroner, and the following evidence was adduced after a view had been taken of the body : 7 - Mr. Brice Pyman, of 42, Castle-street East, surgeon, was called in to attend the deceased on Monday evening, bet Ween 6 and 7 o'clock. Visited him at his house in Mortimer:street. Found him lying on a bed in the attic of his house. WaS quiti senseless and inanimate. Used the best means to . restore him. Believing the case would prove fatal, sent for Mr. Cusick, sur geon, of Berners-street, who came and prescribed. Mr. John Cusack, surgeon, sworn.—Was called in; and saw deceased in a state of insensibility, breathing very hard, his eyes - starting from their sockets, from a pressure on the brain. Could not say what produced the indisposition. Apo plexy would produce such symptoms. Excessive drinking would produce the symptoms he observed, viz. a pressure on the brain, which is apoplexy. All attempts to restore the de ceased from his lethargic and inanimate, state proved ineffec tual : his extremities grew cold, and he soon expired. It was impossible to say if his death was produced by taking impro per ingredients, without opening the body. CORONER.—Is there a suspicion of any thing improper be- - ing administered to the deceased ? Beadle.—l am informed by the relatives of the deceased that there is ; and some of them are in attendance to substantiate the allegation. Juror—The brother of the deceased is in attendance. CORONER—Then Mr. Cusack will be so kind as to have the body opened, and get the contents of the stomach analysed. The brother of the deceased examined, said, " A person of the name of Brown gave my brother four glasses of gin at once ; he drank them ' • Brown admitted to me that my brother was inebriated with beer (a beverage he generally drank) before the gin was given him; and then Mr. Brown took my brother up to his shop, and more liquor was given to him there also. It is reported that. something improper was put into the liquor given to my brother in the shop —something to open his body ; and though it might be given as a trick merely, yet it is probable what was given for fun might have caused his death." Several Jurors—lt is our opinion the body should be opened. Mr. John Davies, a musical instrument maker, Phoenix. street, Soh6-square, had known deceased for 17 years. He ' was 27 years of age, of a strong constitution and intellect._ Witnes went to Mr. Brown on Monday night, at whose shop the deceased had visited, for the purpose of speaking to some of his men, about one of them having acted improperly; and witness asked Mr. Brown how much liquor he had given de ceased. Mr. Brown replied—" I gave him four good glasses of spirits." Witness was .of opinion that if any thing was given improperly in the liquor, it was given to hint in the shop. Mr. Brown refused to say if he had given him more liquor.-- The deceased was not given to liquor, he drank beer chiefly, and that moderately. lie was quite sober at three o'clock on Monday afternoon. Mrs. Martha Kelly, mother-inplaw of deceased.—The de ceased was at home at his business on Monday, and worked at his business till between three and four in the afternoon ; lie went out at that time quite sober to Mr. Brown's a neighbour, whose men had thrown some clay at the deceased's shop win dow, and the glass cut his head ; the deceased said he would complain to Mr. Brown of the conduct of his men, and if he did not get satisfaction he would take out a warrant against the men. The deceased's head was bleeding very much. In about a quarter of an hour after the deceased left the house, lie was carried home in a senseless state, and remained so till he died. It could not be more than a quarter of an hour that he was absent. The Surgeons were directed to proceed and examine the body and the contents of the stomach, and it was proposed to adjourn the inquiry till to-morrow. The CORONER said, it would be better to proceed on with the evidence while the surgeons opened the body. Several per sons in the eniploy of Mr. Brown were examined upon oath, and all delivered the same statement. The following is a sum mary of the facts disclosed :—The deceased worked in the back part of his own house, with his apprentice. The window of his shot) was opposite to the window of Mr. Brown's inanufactory, in which above 40 men are employed, one of whom threw a missile at the deceased's shop-window; the glass was broken, and it cut the head of the . deceased, which bled profusely. in a bleeding state he went to Mr. Brown's house to complain of the conduct of his men. Mr. Brown, jun. promised he should see. the person that did it, but first he gave him four glasses of strong gin. The deceased would have drank more, but. Air. Brown said he had enough. Mr. Brown, jun., then in troduced him to the men, . and he pointed out to him the man that threw at him : the man expressed his sorrow and the de ceased said, " Well, I forgive - you this once; but if any of you do so again, I will have a warrant for you instantly :" he then left the shop, having drunk no liquor there whatever : on his coming to Mr. Brown's front shop- again, he was observed to stagger. Mr. Brown, jun., laughed on bserving the sudden effect of the liquor, and the deceased reeled out of Mr. Brown's into the street, and caught hold of the iron railings ; he fell on the ground, and some of his friends came, being informed of his situation, and carried him home. Ambrose Campbell, surgeon, Berner-street, had opened and examined the body at the request of the Coroner and Jury; he found the effects of x blow on the head. He was of opinion that something stimulating taken into the stomach, coupled with the blow, had produced his death : there was a violent in flammation in all the arteries leading from the heart to the head. The CORON ER said, the case, although it occupied nearly the . whole of the day, now reduced itself to a small compass. First, did the man die from takingthe spirits'? and-if so, was Mr. Brown, jun., criminal for administering them to him He (the Coroner) thought it was indiscreet, and hoped it would prove a warning to him. The Jury consulted for some time, and returned the following rather• curious verdict :—"• Died from some unknown causei his death being. acceleritteo by the use of ardent spirits."
