FIRST COMBINATION OF COPPER-PLATE AND LETTER-PRESS PRINTING, THAT HAS EVER BEEN ATTEMPTED IN A NEWS- PAPER. CONSIDERABLE Alterations having been effected by the REFORM BILL in the Boundaries of the different Places in the Country sending Members to Parliament, and the whole character of the Elective Constituency being changed, it is believed that a series of MAPS, carefully drawn, and accurately engraved in the best style of art, accompanied by a clear and complete Local History, embracing all the Political and Statistical Details necessary to the full elucidation of the subject, would be acceptable to the public. It is, therefore, pro posed to issue at stated intervals, such A SERIES OF MAPS AND HISTORIES, IN THE ATLAS NEWSPAPER, _ . .. . . a Journal which aims at being the most useful, various, and readable in substance, as it is the most comprehensive in design. The utility of the proposed Topographical Atlas will be manifest, and the novelty of its publication in the pages of a Newspaper is calculated to procure a popularity that will serve to spread and insure its reception amongst all classes of the people. The expense and difficulties of the attempt are considerable ; and neither outlay nor pains taking will be spared to render the work worthy of ge neral acceptation. The Maps will exhibit the actual boundaries of the Counties, Cities, Boroughs, &c., as determined by law ; the Pulling-places will he dis tinctly marked, and a delineation given of the latest im provements on the surface of the soil, such as railroads, canals, &c. The accompanying Histories will contain such a body of Statistical, Topographical, and Local informa tion, as will perfect the object which this arduous under taking is intended to accomplish. They will present an intelligible explanation of the machinery, and the working of the electoral system, of parliamentary and personal in. fluencee, of the comparative and individual interests that operate with various degrees of importance in different districts, of the past and present state of the representa • tion and of the population and productions of each place ; and the whole will be illustrated by such Tables and Notts as circumstances may demand. This department will he confided to MR. GORTON, the Author of the " Topographical Dictionary," and Editor of the " Population Return," whose well established reputation in works of statistical research will sufficiently guarantee the skill and efficiency with which it will be executed. The mode in which these Maps and Histories will be issued, will obviate all the inconveniences that usually arise in the delivery of the gratuitous supplements that are sometimes given with ,4iewspapers. Those supplements are generally very desirable in themselves, but the difficulty with subscribers who reside out of the metropolis is how to get them, as they cannot be transmitted through the post, and either do not leach their destination at all, or after great uncertainty and delay, and with increased ex pense. To prevent the possibility of disappointment, and to insure to distant subscribers the benefits of the publi cation, the proposed Maps and Histories will be printed in the ATLAS, so that, wherever the paper itself is re ceived, they must be received also. They will be printed in the centre pages of the sheet, and may he detached at pleasure from the Journal, for the purpose of being ulti mately bound up separately in the form of a distinct To pographical Atlas, or they may be preserved in their place to be included at the end of the year in the volume of the paper. Any person, therefore, in any part of the king dom, or in the colonies, need only subscribe for the ATLAS Newspaper in the usual way, and he will receive the Maps in the regular delivery by the post. It is ne cessary to add, that for this valuable issue there will be NO EXTRA CHARGE. The first Map and History, being that of the County of Warwick, will be issued on the first Sunday in the ensu ing year, for the convenience of those who may desire to begin their subscriptions with the new year. The PARLIAMENTARY REPORTS of the ATLAS in the ensuing session, which will prove one of the most important in our history, will be prepared in the same spirit of care and industry that has hitherto obtsined so much confidence and applause. Without appealing to any invidious comparisons with other Journals, the ATLAS clsims a distinct character for its method of reporting the Debates, which may be said to present a clearer, fuller, and more impartial view of the proceedings of the Legis lature than any other Journal has hitherto accomplished. Its criticisms on Literature, Music, the Drama, and the Fine Arts, are distinguished by fearlessness and indepen dence ; and its analysis of Foreign and Domestic News is entirely free from the vulgar verbiage and off, nsive gross ness that so often expel the general Newspaper from the family circle, and render it unfit for the perusal of per sons of taste. Orders will be received by all Booksellers and News venders, in the United Kingdom ; and, as a limited num ber will he kept on band, early orders are requested. When Major CARTWRIGHT was solicited for his vote, by a personal friend who was a candidate for an English county, he replied, " No. Ask me for my per sonal service, ask me for my purse, ask me for anything that is nay private property, and you shall have it ; but considering the principles which you entertain, I cannot give you my vote, for that belongs to my country." FLOGGING OF POLES AT CIIONSTADT.— (From the Hull Polish Record.)—From other witnesses we have received further corroborations of the horrible fact. One of them first heard of the scene that was going forward from a Glasgow shipmaster, who came away horror-stricken. The Hull master left the house of Mr. BooKEn, British Consul, and proceeded to the spot. He remained until one unhappy Polish captive had run the gauntlet three times, and then felt so sick at heart that he could endurei the horrid spectacle no longer. On turning away he asked a resident if the Russian Govern ment would not exempt them from future punishmens ? The answer was, "Oh ! no. If they survive, as some of them cannot do, they will be flogged again until they do take the oath." " And what will be done to those who do take the oath?" " Made slaves of." Some of the Poles were mingled among Russian convicts in public labour. They were always distinguishable from the Muscovites by their fairer complexions, the manly expression of their features, and the indepenti-nce of their gait and carriage. Doubts having been expressed respecting the number of lashes inflicted on the Polish captives at Cronatadt, we have made a point of instituting further inquiries. Another eye-witness—a respectable, intelligent, and truly British master-mariner of Hull, assures us that the first narrative is perfectly true. He knows that from 6,000 to 8,000 lashes were ordered to be inflicted, and has good grounds for believing that they have been given, though not, per haps, all at one tinge. Some of the sufferers had been taken from the hospital several times, in order that the number might be completed. He saw one Pole dragged, or lifted through the files of executioners eight times! After the first 100 lashes he seemed to become benumbed, for he exhibited but few signs of life ; his head hung back, and his legs doubled under him ; when he fell he was lifted up again, until Russian barbarity was in some mea- Sure satiated. The stick, or switch, was several feet in length, and seemed to this observer like a willow or osier, but stronger and more tough. Russian insolence, adds this witness, is becoming intolerable to our sailors, who, true to their generous character, sympathise with the Poles, who, they observe, resemble Englishmen in so many respects, and they `long to give the Russians a drubbing.

SUGAR.—The show-rooms for the sale of Raw Sugars have been closed all the week ; there have been no sales whatever ; the Market is in consequence nominally the same as on this day week. The stock of West India Sugar is 28,549 hhds. and trs , being 8,722 less than last ye ir. The stock of Maui itius 52,212 bags, which is 25,675 less than last year. The delivery of West India was 2,200 blids. and trs., being 464 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius 5,061 bags, which is 41 less than the corresponding week of 1831. In Refined there have been no sales, and no alteration in the currency. MaturtiTrus SUGAR. -There have been no public sales, as this has been holyday week ; no purchases by private contract have been reported. FOREIGN SUGAR.-There are no sales of Foreign Sugar to report, but there are several buyers at Market, who would purchase at prices under the Market rates, which the holders will not at present submit to. COFFEE.—There have been no public sales of Coffee: inquiries for British Plantations are continued, and some small parcels have been taken at the previous prices for immediate consumption. In Foreign or East India Coffee there are no purchases reported, but there are buyers watching the Market, who would purchase if any parcels offered under the regular Market currency. Roar, BRANDY, AND lloLLANns.—There are no sales of Ruin reported this week. Brandy and Geneva also re main at nominal quotations. TALLOW.—In tie Tallow Market there is little altera tion. THE MATTER. OF WM. SMITH, AN ALLEGED MANSION HO USE. BANKRUPT. The creditors under the fiat issued against Mr, William Smith held a meeting to-day for the proof uf debts and the examination of the alleged bank rupt. The facts connected with the case are of a most extraordinary nature. Smith, it was stated, for years moved in the lower ranks of life, and obtained a precarious living as a salesman. He married a woman of the name of Oldham, having a relative who some years ago proceeded to India, where he accumulated vast property. At his death, Mrs. Smith became entitled as co-heiress to a portion of the wealth left by Mr. Oldham. Legal proceedings were commenced by Mr. Smith, to substantiate his claim, and these proceedings have for years been go ing on with different success, Mr. Smith gaining a verdict in the first trial in 1823, but in 1824 a ver. diet was obtained against him, while at the last trial in Warwick, in 1824, he again obtained a verdict. The total costs in these lengthened proceedings are stated at 21,93 W. During the progress of the dif ferent suits at law, Mr. Smith ran up some very heavy scores for refreshments, money lent, &c., to parties who, upon the faith of his at some time be coming entitled to the expected property, wsre willing to give him credit. The petitioning credi tor to the fiat claimed to prove for 1,000/. for a debt contracted in this way, and which com menced in 1822. Eventually the Lord Chancellor made an order for distributing the property in the cause, and his Lordship, on, as is alleged, a state ment made on behalf of Mr. Smith, that he owed no debts, settled 10,000/. out of 16,000/., the por tion of the property coming to Mrs. Smith as co heiress, on that lady, and the remainder was given the husband. To Mrs. Smith's sister, another co heiress, 16,0001. were also awarded. FRUIT.-There is no alteration in the prices of Fruit; few purchases are reported; the consumption continues extensive. Rice. —Rice is dull at the late decline in the Patna de scriptions. INDIGO.—The Market is dull, and no alteration in the prices. The quantity declared is 3,600 chests, and it is expected to be increased to above 4,000 chests. The crop in India up to the 16th of August was estimated at 121,000 mounds. Cocoa.—The quotations of Cocoa are entirely nomi nal ; there are no buyers. COTTON.—The Cotton Market remains very dull ; the purchases reported this week are inconsiderable. The creditors of Mr. Smith sought to obtain pay ment of debts they asserted to be due to them, and the fiat was accordingly issued. Proceedings are, however, in the course of being commenced, to set aside the bankruptcy, on the ground that Mr. Smith never had so dealt in the way of business as to establish him as a dealer or Chapman, and the proof of debts was accordingly gone into to-day. Mr. Commissioner MERIVALE asked whether the bankrupt had made out a balance-sheet SALTPETRE.-The Market is very dull, hut there are no sellers at any reduction. TEA.—The transactions of the Market are not large, but several breaks of Congou and some Orange Pekoe have been sold at premium. ASHES, owing to the recent large arrivals, are a trifle lower in price, and dull. TURPENTINE.-2,000 barrels arrived this week, for which 13s. is asked. Ons.—Linseed, Rape, and Olive Oils are a shade better than last week, and a good deal of business doing in them. Mr. 'ANDY:R.I)ON, who appeared as Counsel for Mr. Smith, said it was absolutely impossible for his client to prepare any balance-sheet, as he never kept any books or papers of any kind. He appeared to oppose the proof of debts which were improper. The COMMISSIONER could not allow the Learned Gentleman to oppose debts on behalf of the bankrupt. The holder of a bill for 25/., drawn by Mr. Smith, sought to prove for that amount. Mr. Smith, on looking at the bill, declared the signature to be a forgery. He could not write when the bill was da'ed, having only learnt recently. Bills had been forged on him to the extent of thou sands, and he should find all out by and bye. He wanted to pay his just debts. Mr. Thomas King, a publican, claimed to enter a proof for 97/. 3s. for liquors and refreshments furnished Mr. Smith and his son for some years back. PRICE OF SUGAR. The Average Price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed rom the Returns made in the week ending the 25th day of Dec., 1832, is Ss.

The further examination was then postponed. INSOLVENTS' COURT ; DEC. 28. William Nelson Blackman Harman, came up for final examination. He was opposed on the part of two creditors named, Hutchinson and Cook, and it will be recollected that the former rode from Can terbury to London on horeback, in the short space of two hours and 25 minutes, and for this " extra ordinary exploit" received the freedom of the city. An application was made to remove the insolvent to Canterbury, but it was refused. The Court, however, gave further time to oppose. The case to-day lasted several hours. The insolvent, it ap peared, owed Mr. Cook, one of his opposing credi tors, 1001. for cattle, and the other (Mr. Hutchin son) upwards of 300/. for horses. The whole of this debt was contracted in July last. The insolvent induced Mr. Hutchinson to give him credit on the representation that he was about marrying a Mrs. Ann King, who pos sessed an annuity of 400/, a year, and that he should receive on the marriage the sum of 1,0001. He gave the opposing creditor bills of exchange to the amount accepted by Mrs. King; but, before they became due, he married her, and then told Mr. Hutchinson that he could not recover the money from her. Mr. Hutchinson, however, arrested both, and the cause is still pending. The insolvent, after the arrest of his wife at the suit of Mr. Hutchinson, told Mr. Cook that he would never pay the " in fernal horse-dealers," and that he would go to the King's Bench prison and get whitewashed. On behalf of the insolvent it was contended that the debt of Mr. Hutchinson was contracted in fraud. The Court deferred giving judgment to a future day. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, DEC. 28. Edward Wall, a schoolmaster, living in Dean street, Soho, was charged with divers acts of gross indecency, between the 3d of August and the Ist of December, towards four children, of the re spective ages from eight to ten years, who had been placed with him as pupils. Mi. ALLEY briefly stated the case, which, he ob served, was carried on at the expense of the parish, by the express desire of the Magistrates of Marl borough -street Police-office, before whom the de fendant was taken on the discovery of his infamous practices._ The children were then called. Without going ' into the disgusting details, it may suffice to state that they severally deposed to acts fully bearing out the averments of the indictment. The Jury unhesitatingly found him Guilty. The CHAIRMAN, after commenting on the atro city of his conduct in thus seeking to deprave the minds of his Youthful pupils, sentenced him to twelve months'. imprisonment, and expressed his regret that he could not add hard labour thereto. William Blackford, Edward 6911011 y, Robert Newsom, and Jan Wilkins, all of them stout young men, were charged with assaulting Mr. Samuel Hurdy, on the highway, on the night of the 26th instant, with intent to rob him. The Jury found all four prisoners Guilty. The CHAIRMAN sentenced Blackford, Newsom, and Wilkins, to six months' and Conolly to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour in each case. John Wheeler, a lad about 17 years old, was in (Feted for stealing a vice, value Is. Gd., from his master, the well-known ex-champion, Tom Cribb. Verdict—Guilty.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF INTENT TO ROB. —Two Captains of vessels and a draper were charged by Mr. Peascod, grocer, of Ratcliffe-high way, with having assaulted him, with intent to rob him. The three defendants had been permitted by Mr. Hoppe, one of the officers of Portsoken-ward, to leave the watch-house after the charge was made, upon their promise to attend at the Mansion-house, because he thought it originated in gross error. Mr. Peascod stated that, between the hours of seven and eight on the preceding evening, as he stood for a moment in the street, one of the de fendants pushed up against him in such a way as to excite suspicion that it was the man's intention to rob him. He walked on, and somehow or other the same person came in contact with him again, in company with the two other defendants. Finding that he was pushed in the same suspicious manner az.ain, and that the man who first pushed him was following him, he called a watchman, and gave that defendant in charge. The two others afterwards in terposed, and were included in the charge. The LORD MAYOR—Who was constable of the night ? It was before the watch was set, and no body was in the chair; but when we entered, one of the captains got into the chair, and said he would preside.—(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—And what . reason had you to think that these gentlemen wished to rob you ? They shoved against me so that I suspected it. A watchman—Please your Lordship, the gentle man comes up to me, and he says," Watchman," says he, " I wants you to look alter these here three characters," and soon arter he gives one on 'em in charge, but I did'nt know my prisoner as a public character. The LORD MAYOR—What do you mean by public character ? Watchman—Why, I means a pickpocket character to be sure.—( Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Public characters are much indebted to you, indeed. Ray, were the de fendants and plaintiff all sober ? Yes, my Lord, they seemed to be all on 'em pretty campus meatus. The LORD MAYOR—Upon my word you are a most intelligent watchman. I suppose you took the chair according to Shakspeare ? Begging pardon, my Lord, I an't at all intelligible, and I did'nt take the chair; for there was a woman, with a baby in her arms, as took the chair till an officer comed in. Forrester, sen., the officer, stated that Mr. Peascod distinctly charged one of the defendants with an assault, with intent to rob him, and the others with being accomplices. Mr. Peascod was so much in earnest that he desired that no bail but very good bail should be taken for them, and finding that there was some error in one of the names, he said that he would correct the error in the indictment. Mr. Hoppe said that the moment he heard the charge he concluded that it was a mistake; and he seat to make inquiry about the gentleman who had been for three hours detained, and found that they were all unexceptionable characters. They had a good deal of money about them. The LORD MAYOR—What do you think of the matter now, Mr. Peascod ? Mr. Peascod—l think that they pushed me, as if they intended to rob me. The LORD MAYOR—Your fears all proceeded from your imagination, you may depend upon it. You must have been nervous at the time, and ima gined that you were about to be robbed. The defendant principally charged knew nothing of the affair till the watchman did him the favour to collar him ; and his friends got into the srcape for fol lowing him into the watch-house, where they spent rather a disagreeable time of it. There was, how ever, a mode of obtaining reparation. The LORD MAYOR said that there was no impu tation whatever upon the characters of the gentle men at the bar, and he hoped they would look upon the accusation as a mistake to which all persons were subject. Darrell, the owner and driver, and Ball, the con ductor, of an omnibus, were charged by Mr. Cope, the Marshal, with having obstructed the carriage way in Cheapside. Mr. Cope described the conduct of the defendants as the most gross he had ever witnessed, even amongst the people employed about the public vehicles of the metropolis. At the time of the day when carriages, and carts, and waggons of all kinds were endeavouring to pass through Cheapside, the driver of the omnibus insisted upon his right to cause a most mischievous and embarrassing obstruc tion, which extended to the Poultry and Cornhill. The conductor even held the wheel of the omnibus, order that the police should not be able to give accommodation to the public by moving it on with the other vehicles, and assaulted one of the officers in the execution of his duty. The LORD MAYOR—The question is, whether these people are to be masters of the City ? 1 shall do all I can to prevent it, and I shall fine the owner of the omnibus the sum of 51., and require bail for the assault from the conductor. The defendants prayed for mitigation, but his Lordship was inexorable. MARLB OR 0 U GH-S TREE T. Yesterday three domestics, from the town esta blishment of an unsuccessful candidate for the re presentation of an eastern county, waited upon Mr. CONANT, the sitt ing Magistrate, to solicit advice and assistance under the following circumstances The under-butler, who was spokesman, stated that nearly all the servants had that morning received notice from their mistress to quit the house. This they were perfectly willing to comply with, but they found they were to be turned off without receiving payment of the arrears of their wages, the aggregate amount of which was some thousands of pounds. The coachman, who had received a notice, stated his claim for arrears of wages, &c., to amount to be tween one and two thousand pounds, to another servant 800/. was due, to himself (the applicant) about 50/., which, he believed, was the smallest sum owing. To the porter for wages, expenses for postage, parcels, &c., about 70/., and to one house maid upwards of 80/. was due. They had waited patiently some one, two, and three years in expecta tion that their master would fulfil his promises, and discharge their claims, and now that that gentleman had gone to France, they had received peremptory orders to quit the house; their mistress alleging they were not her servants, because she had not engaged them, and they must consequently look to theit master for payment. As most of them who were thus summarily dismissed had families to maintain, who had suffered greatly from the delay in payment which had occurred, they were likely to be still further distressed if they quitted the house without receiving something for temporary support. The object of their present application was to ascertain if, under such circumstances, they were not justified in remaining in the house until their demands were satisfied, and whether they had not a right to ap propriate some portion of the splendid furniture and other property in the house, to defray their claims. Mr. CONANT said if the statement of the appli cants was true, their case was certainly a very hard one; and though he felt every disposition to protect them, yet he feared he could neither give such ad vice nor assistance as they required, as the matte. was not exactly within magisterial jurisdiction. He could hardly bring himself to believe that such a measure as stated by them was contemplated by Mrs. Wellesley. The applicants replied they were certain that theit PRICES O: Per lb.

DANGERS OF ANATOMICAL SCHOOLS. — In the summer of 1783, M. FAURE, of Narbonne, in France, bought a house, previously occupied as an anato mical hall, and employed three men to dig a cave in the cellar. In diggine, they came to a wall of a covered ne cessary, which had been the common receptacle of the re and, on extracting a few stones, at re mains offensive human putrid subjects, matter rushed through and suffocated them. M. FAURE, going to see the workmen, descended but two or three steps when he fell senseless. Of nine persons who entered to bring out the sufferers, six died. M. FAURE died in four days, an d the unfortunate labour. ors survived but a day or two. I n t h e meant i m e the smell increased to such a degree as t o create a pest il en ce, and the neighbours were obliged to remove, but a great many of them died.

Yesterday Mr. Beaune, the proprietor of a place near to Co penhagen-house, called the " French Colony," ap peared at this office to meet a charge which had been made against him, under the following circum stances:— On Wednesday last a man, named Mortimer, came before Mr. ROGERS, the sitting Magistrate, and stated that, within the last eight or ten days, Beatime's sister died in childbed, and that on the following day her brother, with whom she had resi ded since she was seven years old, carried her re mains to the London University, and that subse quently the child died, and was carried away in the same manner and to the same place by Mr. Beaume. Under those extraordinary circumstances he (Mr. M.) thought it his duty to make a representation of the case to the Magistrates of this office. Mr. Rogers, after hearing the statement, referred him to the parish-officers of Islington. Mr. Mortimer thereupon proceeded to the parish officers, and gave information; after which inquiries were made; and on Brown, the beadle, ascertaining that the bodies had been removed to the London University, without having been eats ruined by the " pariah searchers," he took the de fendant into custody, and brought him to this office en the same evening. On being questioned by Mr. ROGERS, he acknowledged having removed the bodies as described, alleging that it was his sister's wish before dissolution, in consequence of having been afflicted with a peculiar disease ; and she thought that if her body was delivered over for dis section, medical science might benefit by it. Pre vious to acting as he bad done he consulted with Mr. Cole, a surgeon, who attended his sister in child-bed, and that gentleman informed him that he could give up the body for dissection, if he pleased. After this explanation, Mr. ROGERS held .the de fendant to bail, in the sum of 1001., to appear at this office yesterday, and desired Brown, the beadle, to wait upon the before-mentioned medical gentle. man, and request his attendance at the examination. On the case being called on for hearing, Mr. Resume, who was attired in mourning, stood for ward, and the minutes taken on the first hearing of the case having been read over, the following evi dence was adduced : Dr. James Sommerville, the inspector of anatomy appointed by Government, having been sworn, said that on Monday, the 17th instant, Professor Quain, of the London University, gave him the notice re quired by the 9th clause of the Anatomy Act, that. it was his intention to remove one Charlotte Beaume, to the London University, for anatomical purposes. At the same time this notice was given, Mr. Quain said that as there were some peculiar cir cumstances connected with the case, he should wish o ask his (Dr. S.'s) advice how to act. He then informed witness that the deceased had been a dis ciple of Mr. Owen, and that before her death, she requested that her body should be given up for a sum of money, to the surgeons; and that the sum raised in that way should be paid over to some charitable institution. Witness thereupon told Mr. Quain, that he had better not make a bargain for , he body, but comply with the request of the de ceased by giving a sovereign to some charitable in- Ftitution. This was all that passed between them on the subject, and about two days after this con versation, Mr. Quain forwarded to witness the re. quired returns of the receipt of the body, accom panied with a certificate as to the cause of the death. Since the application was made at this of lice, witness had strictly inquired into the case, and he was able to say that the whole transaction had been in strict accordance to law. Dr. Quain was licensed to dissect bodies under the new Act. Mr. John Cole, surgeon, of Charlotte -street, Bedford-square, about a month ago was applied to In the usual way to attend the deceased, and on the Bth inst. he went to Mr. Beaume's house. On his arrival the child was born, and with its mo ther appeared to be doing well, All went on favour-- 4)ly until Thursday, the 13th inst. when a messenger came to his house between five and six o'clock in he morning, requesting his attendance at deceased's residence, whither he proceeded immediately, and upon seeing the unfortunate woman he found her labouring under violent inflammation of the perito netn. Witness relieved her by medicine, but he was unable to stop the progress of the disorder, arid on the Sunday following she died. He (Mr. Cole) was not with her at the time, but he entered the room in less than an hour after her death, at which rime he examined the child and found it suffering from erysipelas. The child lingered for a few days ioniser, and then sunk under that disease. On the 17th inst. Mr. Beaume called on witness and said that his sister had expressed in writing, or in her will, a wish that her body should be disposed of for dissection, to " that Professor of Anatomy who en 'ertained the most liberal opinions ;" and that any sum which he might give for the body should be given to an institution, having for its object the benefit of mankind. Mr. Beaume then re quested that the money obtained in that man rier might be transmitted to Mr. Owen, of Gray's Inn-road. The defendant also stated, that if dissec tion could not be accomplished, his sister desired hat her body might be burnt rather than buried. In consequence of the defendant requesting witness .o assist him in accomplishing the above wishes of ids sister; he (Mr. C.) wrote to Dr. Quain, slating he circumstances, and offering the body to him. In answer to a question by Mr. ROGERS, Mr. Cole said that Mr. Beaume exhibited some writing, as his sister's, which he said was that relative to the disposal of her body, but whether such was the case he was unable to say, as he did not peruse it. Mr. Cole added, that at each interview Mr. Beaume sppared in extreme I.ffiiction relative to the death of his sister. Mr. Quain, demonstrator of anatomy to the Lon don University, on the 17 t h instant eebiue hrr r nee e ntc waitedce ei rathery t e o d tah upon et e ph t ro t ae e nn. r from Mr. Cole, offering the deceased's body for dis section ; and that, in consequence of the latter re presenting that the deceased had expressed a wish that the proceeds of the sale of her body, to_ ;ether with the price of a decent funeral, should be d r i nb a pe m ors ent Was imperative 'lll)Shui:lareptitSleoti g e ntl e man, n h h rtaetol t h at a f ms a t: :met: the statedl:e o abc f Anohddcayrti i nterment; tmoabfgl ePhtpa (in and, on a subsequent interview with the inspector of anatomy, he said that that part of the Act could not be dispensed ,vith. On the 18th instant witness sent an under taker for the body, and on the following morning he saw it in the dissecting -room. Mr. ROGERS—What was the cause of death ? Quain--51r. Cole told me that he had been rearing the deceased for an inflammation of the peritoneum ; and, on a post•mortern examination of the body, I found that he formed a correct opi nion of her complaint.

Mr. Quain—Most certainly; very likely to-day. Mr. ROGERS now ordered the evidence to be read over, which was done. The worthy MAGISTRATE then told the defendant that he was discharged; adding that he had not yin. laced the laws of the country, but, on the other hand, had acted in strict accordance with them.
