SPUtIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It would he well indeed for the Bench of Bishops to take warning by what they see and hear, and, as Lord Grey solemnly adjured them, to " set their house in order" against the day of trial. Yet we do not believe that .the Reverend Lords will act upon the counsel of the Prime Minister, or upon our far humbler and less authoritative admonitions. Bishops generally have regarded the temporal Church as the crea ture of a sort of uncalculating prescription, —as a thing which it was sacrilege to touch, and about which it was presumptuous for the laity. and utterly needless for the clergy themselves, to reason. For men in such a state of mind, therefore, it is natural to be wrapped up in too confident security until the last moment. So little do the shrewd sense and penetration of Dr. Blorilield seem to extend themselves to the un derstandings of his brethren, that within the last fortnight, Bishops, who had promised to support the second reading,—even some of the most timid anaongst them, and perhaps by virtue of that timidity,—have recently declared that they roust oppose the Bill through all its successive stages. Is this to be deplored ? Undoubtedly, for the sake of the Reverend Bench itself; hut for no other reason. For the public cause, we rejoice to see the public mask thrown off before the fight commences, that so our own com manders may have no oifficulty in ascertaining, and no pretence for undervaluing, the full amount of the hostile force. But we have said that a " timid' . Bishop may, perhaps, be more inclined by virtue of his fears to retract his resolution of supporting the Reform Bill. It is true that the extremes of terror and audacity may, in this in stance, meet. Those members of the Reverend Bench who fitncy that in defending the corrup tions of the State. they maintain the outworks of the Church Lstablishment, flatter themselves that Church and State being indentified with the Bishops and the oligarchy, an alliance among those powers must be altogether invincible. The Bishops may be mistaken,—the good of the state itself may require a great and exten sive modification of the temporal Church, and the oligarchy may be willing at any time to make the sacrifice. But that is be side the question. We admit that one kind of boldness, viz., that springing from blindness to the real danger besetting the establishment, and one kind of cowardice, viz., that which meditates the possible mischief that may befall one's own private interests from given combinations of party, are not incapable of producing the same results upon certain Right Reverend voters. If, for in stance, a Bishop should imagine that a change of Ministers is at no great distance, and that, whatever becomes of the Church, his own ad vancement to its highest honours might be best promoted by his subserviency to the politics of a contingent Wellington than of an actual Grey, —that is, in plain English, if any pious Bishop should suspect that Lord Grey's administration i 3 but of fragile texture, and, by falling to pieces at no distant time, may open a breach for the Duke of Wellington and his friends to enter the cul de sac called Downing -street,— it is very likely that such a Right Reverend Lord would back out of his promises to the pre sent Minister, and make peace in time with his supposed successor : this, of course, with out any troublesome consideration as to what good or evil may betide the Church as a whole. But what is all this about fallingand. succeeding Ministers? What conceiveabli Chinice can there be for a change of Administration at this moment ? What man in England, or in Eutope, can, at such a time, we do not say de s!roy, but even disturb the Noble Earl at the head of the Government, in his office, so long as he thinks proper to retain it, and to discharge the grateful obligations which it imposes ? The apprehension is pure insanity. We should re gard Lord Grey's remov .1 from power at this crisis, or at any time before the machinery pre pared and framed under the Reform Bill should come into full operation, as a grievous public calamity. Lord Grey has himself put the em pire into such a state, that he must carry the Reform Bill, or be responsible for all but his country's irretrievable ruin. It is, therefore, that we deprecate, in terms of the deepest :lam, every notion of Lord Grey's failure in this glo rious enterprise ; a fortiori must the attempt to drive his Lordship from office he deemed a crime against the English nation,— Times. of fis countrymen, " the low Irish," in the neighbourhood of Grosvenor-square, on the oc casion of the death of some cholera patients. After stating the circumstances of the case, Inf which we refer to our report, Mr. Dawson mad, the following reflection :—" A riot of so serious a description in the very heart of the West-ern , part of the metropolis, could not but remind him of the system of combina:ion which was carried on in eland." We do not exactly see the philosophical profundity of this remark, though we think we can catch a glimpse of its political hearing. It is, probably, intended to illustrate the rebellious tendency of the Milesian spirit, which manifests itself equally against cholera regulations and Irish tithes, and can only be put down by the strong hand of the Executive. The inference, of course, would be to display the advantages of the coercive system of Govern• ment, particularly as regards the progeny of the sister island, who have been used to it long enough to feel for it all the partialit% of an ancient custom. Without, however, diving so deeply into human nature as Mr. Dawson appears to have done by the quo- tation we have extracted from his speech, we will venture to tell him, and those who, like him, have set themselves against the education of " the low Irish," that the cause of this " cholera insurrection" is neither more nor le-s than the wretched state of ignorance in which the people have been kept up to the present hour, and in which they would still be kept it some of our Legislators had their will. Every body knows what disgraceful riots took place in St. Petershurgh, and other parts of Russia, when the cholera morhus was racil , there. Every body knows that in the Ottoman coun tries an epidemic is often the forerunner and the cause of extensive massacre. This is the work of ignorance—of nothing but ignorance ; and yet Mr. Dawson, who could strain his imagina tion to find out some mysterious connection be tween the resistance made to the tithes in Ire land and to certain medical arrangements in the parish of Marylebone, never pushed his philo sophy so far as to ask whether ignorance would not account for the riot which had set his ima gination so hard at work. Could it be that such an illustration of the mischief of ignorance, at the moment when there was a Bill in progress for its removal, was considered too rash a de parture from party tactics to be ventured by a statesman determined to oppose the plan.— Morning Herald. 'We are inclined to think much more favour ably of the speeches of the Earl of Harrowby, Lord Wharncliffe, and the Bishop of London, on the first reading of the Reform Bill, now that we see the tone of bitter vituperation with which the sentiments contained in them are received by the ultra-Tory Press. Thefas est ab poste doceri here comes most opportunely to cur aid ; and vie naturally enough infer, that that which is so galling to the enemies of Reform ought to be no less gratifying to its friends. The truth is, that the enemy's line is broken, and the natural consequt nee is, that confusion has Taken place in his ranks. In short, the defection among so many of the leading and influential Members of a confederacy must, of necessity, strike at the very root of its existence. But it is rather in the tone of hope than in that of triumph that we would hail the present prospect. Our wish throughout has been to see the Reform question • carried in such a way as should unite the suffrages of all reasonable men, and, above all, ensure the ' tranquillity of the country. The way in which the termer Bill was treated by the Lords was, we may now say, any thing but just and conci liatory ;—it was indiscreet, insulting, and de grading. We now hail a better spirit, in the pure spirit of good will. The Lords have now given the word of promise to the ear ; we trust they will not break it to the sense. Above all, that they may not do so, we would call upon them, in the name of our commor. country, to consider what may be the consequences of again bringing the country to the brink of that fearful precipice to which their rashness brought it on the Bth of October last. We naturally conclude that Lords Harrowby and Wharncliffe have been brought to their present altered view of the subject by some such consideration as this ; and we as naturally conclude that the ultra-Tory Press, looking upon the dictates of god sense as contagtou , , is full of alarm lest the feeling thus disphyed by those Noble Lords may extend to others. and in the end exhibit the " Peers of England" as no longer opposed to the wishes and interests of the people. To Eall Grey, on the other hand, we would say that he is hound to receive these converts in the ge nuine spirit of cordiality—nay, of concession. The great principle of the Refortn Bill, the dis franchisement of the rotten boroughs, is the one thing needful. This accomplished, all that is necessary must follow now, or speedily ; and, therefore, if the main feature of the Bill can he quietly obtained, a little yielding, on the store minor details, is what no honest 1. ilud of Re form need for one moment grudge. In short. let us get rid of our present sys em of mis-re presentation, and real representation will, as a matter of course, speedily follow.—Morn. Her. The army estimates were moved last night by Sir John Hobhouse, who stated the items of in crease and decrease in the service of 1832 as compared with 1831. In 1831 the force in the colonies amounted to 34,373, and it was now 30,437, so that there was here a decrease of 3,936. - On the other hand, the home force in 1831 was 34,752, while in 1832 it was 46,776, making an increase of 12,024 men. The ‘ari ous reductions enumerated by him. were of trifling amount ; and he observed, " that there were many Gentlemen in that House who thought that even though it. might be necessary to maintain so large a force, still it mighi be kept up at less expense : all he would say in answer to that was, that he had applied himself di ligently to that subject during the short time that he had been in office—that he had found it a most difficult question—but that, upon the whole, he thought that the system which at present prevailed, was, considering the whole of the circumstances, the best calculated not only to preserve the efficiency of the force, but to effect the greatest possible economy." It has already been stated by us, that the real cause of the misunderstanding between Sir Henry Parnell and Ministers was the army estimates, and we expected he would avail himself of the first discussion on them, to state the views he enter tained. He has not disappointed , us. He stated that when he quitted the office of the Secretary at War he left materials of which he had hoptd more use would have been made by his suc cessor in proposing reductions. As Chairman of the Committee of Finance, he felt that the public would expect from him, when he took office, some attempt to carry his principles into effect, and he had immediately set about framing a plan of 'expenditure in conformity with his views. He commenced this work in July, and on or before the Bth of October, presented to The rresentation of the Army Estimates last night wag of more than usual interest—not from any extent of reduction, or increase in the nua►- her of troops—not from a► y change in the expenditure, or any novelty in mak►ng up the account , , but from the opposite projects, or amicable collision, of two Right Hon. Gentle me►n, one of whom has recently walked out of the War-office, and the other in. The unfinished labour of toe former had been left to the latter, who did not see the prudence or the practicabi lity of continuing the work as it had beet begun. Hence we have to refer to Sir John Hothouse's statement for the estimates as they are likely to pass, and to the speech of Sir Henry Parnell for the estimates which could not have passed. It is welt known that Sir H. Parnell, when in office, had pressed upon the Administration the necessity and practicability of great reductions in the army expenditure, but we never under stood till last night, that he could hope to carry tbem the length of 600,0001. We were like wise aware that the Right Hon. Baronet, with the zeal of a pledge►! economist rather than with the prudence of a discreet public servant, had expressed his intention to resign if his plans of saving should be resisted or postponed by his colleagues ; but we did not know, till we heard Lord Altl►orp's explanation, to what ex tent the Right Hon. Baronet had developed them to his superiors in office. It now appears that his labours had not been brought to matu rity, and that some of his alleged improvements had been objected to by the service as more expensive than the existing system. We now at length understand the reason why the Righ, Hon. Baronet so simply exposed himself to re ceive his dismissal on the unimportant question of the Russo-Dutch debt. If he had hinted to his colleagues, as he most likely did, that he would not move the estimates unless all his pro jects were embodied iu his budget, he must have expected no long tenure of power, and the Mi nistry were obliged to him, both for giving place to so able a successor, and for having gone out, ral her on an immaterial point than on a great question of military economy. At any rate, though Sir Henry Parnell is a most respectable and upright man, we believe that no public tune tionai y was ever so disagreeable to the class of per sons whose affairs he was appointed to administer. The army hailed his retreat with joy, and cer tainly nothing in his office beeame bun like the leaving of it.—Times. Our Parliamentary report will show that Mr. G. Dawson called the attention of the Govern ment last night to a disturbance created by some e Y i rT Ty-rry Lord Althorp a rough draught of his plan of selves for their share of the plunder in the expenditure, and on the 9th of November he general crush of every thing that renders life de ilaced in his hands the estimate of the army for sirable to civilized men.

An the military men in the House, with the exception of Col. Davies, applauded, as a matter of course, the determination taken to leave things as they were. Whenever reductions are pro posed, the burden of the song is, that they will impair the efficiency of the army. Sufficient, however, for the day is the evil thereof. We much question whether this is the time to dis cuss so ticklish a question as the army. Mr. Hume took this view of the matter, and ex pressed himself unwilling to throw any difficul ties in the way of Ministers, by objectiog to the number of troops they proposed. The Horse Guards must be approached with great caution. The contrast between Scotland and Ireland with respect to the number of troops in them, is certainly very striking. The whole of the troops in Scotland last year did not exceed 1,200, the tenth part of the force kept iti Ireland this year more than the last. " If they looked back (said Mr. Flume) they would find that formerly it was as difficult a matter to manage Scotland as it now was to manage Ireland. What had rendered Scotland one of the greatest countries in the world ? That she had so few complaints to make ; that the rights of the people were re spected ; that justice was impartially adtninis tered ; that there was no interference in matters of religion But this enumeration unfortunately suggts s some reminiscences, which do not hold out a prospect of speedy reduction of force in Ireland. The battle was fought out in Scot the alpha and omega—of the Reform Bill, to restore to the people that power in the manage mtnt of their own concerns, of which it has been the object of all Tory Governments to deprive them, he will oppose it as a measure fraught with mischief to them. The Duke is killingly kind—killingly patriotic ; but we can assure his Grace that it is possible to be officiously kind, and that the extreme tenderness which he now manifests in behalf of the people is of a character with which they could well dispense. The speech of Lord Grey was in every respect such as the public wished to hear from him. It was kind and conciliatory, and so far prudent ; but it was also firm. His Lordship will listen to pro posed amendments, improvements, and objec tions ; but he will not allow the principle of the Bill to be touched—the disfranchising, the en franchising clauses, and the right of voting, as settled in the Bill, must be preserved, for with them he will admit of no mtermeddling ; and what stronger pledge of his consistency, his pa triotism, and his honesty, can the public re quire ? For our part, as we stated long ago, we are satisfied that he will bring the Reform Bill to a successful and satisfactory issue, and that the power with which he has been invested by our gracious Sovereign, will be wisely, but efficiently e nployed. Let the Tories, we say, look to the Easter holidays—and despair ! Morning Advertiser. land—the struggle still awai s - Ireland. That Ireland can he tranquil with a Catholic popula tion, and a Protestant Establis.ied Church, is jest as iinproha!de as that Scotland could be kept quiet with 1,200 men, if a Catholic Church were imposed on her Presbyterian population. The Protestant may he an admirable Church for those who like it, but, unfortunately, the so far from liking it, hate it beyond measure. Unfortunately, Churches are loved by Govern ments, not for the sake of Lite good they do, but for the sake of the money to be obtained through them.

The workings of the projected revolution have already, though prematurely, commenced. It will be seen by the intelligence in a subse- Tient part of our paper that the Political Uniontists, who, tempted and encouraged by the imbecility of Ministers, have long assumed the mastery of Government, are now actually pre paring for action, in the constant practice of the broad-sword exercise. Several of these Revolu tionists were arrested on Tuesday night, while em ployed in their customary avocations, in a car penter's workshop, somewhat similar to that which was the rendezvous of the conspiracy of the sanguinary Thistlewood and his no less ferocious associates in the work of murder. The apprehension of the Political Unionists, however few in number, may serve to arrest the progress of their designs by leading to some further more important discoveries ; but witnout a change in the political course of the Government this will produce no satisfactory results. The temptation held out to the lovers of disorder by the measures of our revolutionary Ministers is too great to be resisted, and they will in due time naturally avail themselves of it to the ut most extent. Such mischievous innovation as is promised to the discontented and factious will as naturally be succeeded by revolution as night is by (lat. The proposed Reform furnishes ad the elements, and there is but another step to universal anarchy and bloodshed. The wily conspirators are perfectly aware of this tremen uous fact, and are accordingly preparing them • EXECUTION AT EXETER.—On Monday, the execution of Mary Kellaway, the unfortunate young woman, convicted, on Friday last, of the wilful murder of her own offspring, at Devonport, on the night of the 13th of November, took place. The gaol is in a small valley, the dis tance from Northernbay to the prison being about 300 yards. The slope on either side was thickly studded with spectators, mostly of the tender sex, to the number of upward, of 5,000. Their conduct generally was a disgrace to the city, if any thing could be more disgraceful than their presence on such an occa— sion, as by far the greater portion indulged in levity of expres sion and demeanour. Soon after twelve, the fatal procession which escorted the prisoner from ,he gaoler to the custody of the Sheriff was seen to leave the house of the Governor, and the pris:mer, advancing with a firm step, was led forward to the place of death. Her appearance was but slightly altered. As she moved onwards she ever and anon uttered pierciug cries for Divine mercy, imploring all who saw her to pray for her. She then entered into a fervent prayer, in which she continued till a terrific scream from the female portion of the spectators an. flounced the falling of the fatal drop. She died without a strug gle. The unfortunate woman had been a servant in a farm house, and had always borne an excellent character for humanity and love of children, which rendered her present crime the more astonishing. The Jury strongly recommended her to mercy on account of her previously excellent character, in which recommendation, Mr. Bone, the Coroner for Devonport, most earnestly joined. Mr. Justice Gaselee, however, assured her that her life could not possibly be spared. Within the last fortnight two young women have been discharged from the gaol, charged with the same offence, but convicted of the minor offence only, of secreting the birth, &c. One of these was the cook of Lord Rolle; and the other a farmer's servant, whose offspring was found, some days after its birth, with a string ac tually round its neck. These cases, it is thought, had given Kellaway confidence. OSBA LDENTON AND BARCLAY ECLIPSED. —An extraordinary match against time was performed last week by Mr. W. Bolton, a respectable tradesman, of Horncastle, who undertook to drag a cart (and not a very light one) from Minster-yard, Lincoln, to the Corn-market, Horncastle, a dis tance of twenty.one miles, within twelve hours. This Her culean task by a person of the weight of 9 1 h stone, was per formed, to the great astonishment of his fellow-townsmen, in nine hours and forty minutes. SAGACITY OF THE HORSE.—Almrse,whose stable was situated about a quarter of a mile from town, had been for some years past regularly shoed by Mr. Gow, School_ hill ; and in the course of that time had also undergone several operations by him, as a veterinary surgeon, for both of which he is allowed to be well qualified. Years, however—which never fall without their usual attendants either on man or beast—had disqualified the poor animal from executing his wonted task; but his master—)rare occurrence)—grateful for his past services, had humanely tended him through the winter, in the hope that spring might again bring fresh vigour to his aged limbs. A few weeks ago, Mr. Gow and his work men were astonished at their old customer paying them a visit, and that without a single attendant. The smithy, being full of his own caste, somewhat checked his entrance ; but, recovering himself, he cleared every impediment, and singled out the master from all in the workshop. — The afflicted brute—(for so it happened—stood directly before his former benefactor, and commenced licking and biting his own sides, accompanied with a low moaning, as indicative of some severe internal commotion. Unfortunately, h o wever, he was not descended of that noble breed so muc h celebrated by Gulliver; and his dumb eloquence was lost on the person he addressed, who, unable to conjecture what this meant, shifted his place, still followed by his petitioner, which at last met with rebuffs, and was finally ordered to the right about for his seeming rudeness. Foiled in this, the distressed creature re turned as he came, lay down in his stall, and in less than fifteen minutes afterwards expired. It was found that in the agonies of death he had broken a strong rope by which he had been fastened, and then disposed of the stable door according to his mind, before he got out in search of that relief, which, after All, was unwittingly denied him.—Dandee Advertiser, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. G UILDHALL, Mary Mahony, a poor Irishwoman, was charged with feigning an attack of cholera morbus, at the foot of Black friar's-bridge, on Tuesday night. Easely, the watchman, said she did the same thing on Monday night, when a gentleman brought her round by administering some warm brandy and water. This was the fifth or sixth attempt she had made. Sir PETE2I. LAuxtit asked her how ofte❑ she had had the cholera?—" Not at all, your Honour, and I hope I never will," she replied. " But you hear," continued the Magistrate, " this man says you exhibit the symptoms of it." Yew," said the watchman, " she lies down and moans, and won't speak, and draws her nose and knees together." " Then you should take her to a Board of Heath," ob served Sir PETER ; " they might give you a premium, for sonic of them are sadly at a discount fur want of cases. Every timing is imitated in this country, from a pound note to the cholera morbus.—(A laugh.) The prisoner protesting she ha•l really been seized with a fit, the Alderman di-charged her. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday, at a quarter past three o'clo.k, the hour at which the business of the Magistrates is usually termi n tted until the evening, six miserable looking m .n, dressed as mech,nies, and whose names are— 7 h.rnas Striek low!, Arthur Walker, Robert Cowie, Henry Sparks John Peck, and Michael Murphy, were brought to the otfiee in hackney-coaches, guarded by a strong party of police constables of the H, or Whitech q).l division. The pri Otters were singly taken before the sitting NI !gistrates, Messrs. ROE and DYER, and charred under an Act of Par liament, passed during the reign or Geo. 111., with ille gally asseintiling toget•.er fur the purpose of training to the use of arias, and fur the practice of military evolutions and exercise. Mr. David Williamson, superintendent of the T p o li ce , station d at Kensington, in consequence of information given him on the prec. ding night, o ent to a place called Glass-house-yard, in or near the Minories. At eight o'clock he passed a house or shed in the place mentioned, and heard the words " right face" or "left face," he could not say which. He listened for a few minutes, and thou4ht he heard the words " right cheek—legit cheek." Witness see ing a policeman, sent him to the sta►ion-house to ring other cainstatoles to assist witness in effecting an en• trance to the house. At a quarter before nine (o'clock a party of police arrived in Glass-house-yard, and witness with them entered a sort of shed or coach-house, and while there witness beard the words, " Right protect, left protect." Witness and his men then proceeded up two laddeo a, and tot into an auartment situated at.the top p the buildmn. Upon goin4 into this ro m, witness saw the prisoner at the bir Thomas Strickland, with five other persona, come of whom has in their hands sticks and wooden swords. 'Witness immediately apprehended the whole party. Thomas Strickland, examined by Mr. Rox—l bad no stick or sword in my hand at the time the police took time. The first time 1 was ever in the room was on Thursday last ; heard of the place from a Mr. Murphy. I went there to learn fencing. I first saw Mr. Murphy on last Thursday week at the Philadelphian Ueiversalist Chapel, in Windmi I-street, City-road. He spoke to me and told me he would teach me the art of fencing fur 2s. a quarto r and a penny a lesson. Murphy did give tne his address at that time. I was not asked for any money in advance on my first visit to the room, because I (lid not •t that time take a regular lesson. I only took a little hit of a spell. I went alone last night to Mr. Murphy's. It was Murphy who gave thelessona. lam a member of the Philadel phian Union. I joined them last Sunday week. My admission to the society was not attended with any ce•e mony. I merely paid 4.1. and received a ticket, and I was then considered a member. Arthur Wacker was then placed at the bar.

When I went to the 'encing-room last night, I found only Murphy, and another man ; we each of us took a turn (a fence ) The persons whom I have met at Murphy's used sometimes to take lessons alone, and at other time, a numher would be instructed together. My object in going to th• room was merely to have a little recreation after the fatigues of the d iy. Robert Gtwie was next brought forward.--Examined by Mr. ROIL—I am a cirpenter, and reside in Goodman's. yard, M tiories. I have lived there these two years.

I went to illurphy'a last night - , in company with Cowie and Peck. I have known Murphy three or four weeks. I met him first at a public-house—the Cock and Magpie, in Worship-street. List Sunday fortnight I went to a place called Vine-yard, in Little Pearl-street, City, for the put pose of meeting a person named Bartlett. I found him in company with Murphy and several other persons• They were in the open court, or yard. They had wooden swords and sticks in their hands, and Murphy was instiucting t em in the sword exercise. The lessons are given three times a-week, and last about an hour and a quarter each tim•'. Ido not know how many persons Murphy had in training. The room would not con.ain ❑ntre than four nr five persons to practise; but it would hold a good litany lookers on. I am a member of the Union.

My toaster does not know that I gave th se lessons, but I have stated it to several other person-. Here the examini.tion terminated, and the prisoners were then placed in the dock. Mr. evidence being then again read over to them, Mr. DYES. said, that it was impossible for him or his brother Magistrates to de fine at present how this matter might terminate, but he and they felt convinced there were sufficient k rounds to warrant their detention for a rut titer exarnit.a..ion.

An inquest was held nu Tuesday at the Albion, Duke street, hf.incliester-square, on the body of Anne Maria Sanderlands, aged 29, and also her son, aged three years, who, it was as.erted, had died of cholera. The Jury retuied a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God." DEATH OF MR. SANDERLANDS. Yesterday morning, Mr. Higgs, the Coroner, and the Jury, re-assembled at the Albiun, in Duke-street, to in. quire into the cause of death of the child, whose body had been examined during the morning, when the Jury were, appalled at learning that the father had died also. He applied at the Hospital about six o'clock in the morning, where he was immediately admitted, and lingered till one, when he expired. The sieht at this moment was awful indeed ; his real wife (for it appeared that the woman than was dead was not su) was lying in a bed opposite, when she rose, and exclaimed, " 0.1 my husband !—my husband ! the fa her of my seven children !" It further appeared the deceased woman had been confined in prison in lrel ind on a charge of murder, and was released on turning King's evidence. The deceased S inderlands was her keeper, and t ey came away to England together. The ease has excited the most intense interest. Lord Howe, his nephew, and several other persons of distinction were present at the examination. The p irish authori ties intend to inter the bud es immediately. Mr. William Ainsworth examined—l am of opinion that the child di- d of the epidemic di•ease, " Cho lera;" the child's previous indisposition would predispose it for the disease. The Jut) con'•ulted for a cohort time, and returned their verdict, ‘• bird by the visitation of God." The Jury then went to view the body of Mr. Sander land, when the following evidenc, was adduced :—.. Willi iin Fi her the porter at t e cholera hospital, said, the deceased 'Thomson George Sanderlands came to the huspi al at halfspast six o'clock, and sail he was very ill ; he complained of having the cramp. Jane Nard Is, nurse to the hospital, said the deceased came about six o'clock, and was immediately put to bed. He was taken with repeated vomitings and cramps in his legs. He said he had been with the deceased woman, and had caught t.e disease. He was repoached by his real w f for no h ring the female buried, and said now you have caught your death. He r. plied, "Well I know it." Mr. William Ainsworth, surgeon, said he was c Meal to the deceased; found him in a great want of strength; there was a general tremour pervading the whole body, and passing momentarily into severe cramps ; his t ;Note was col i, pulse scarcely perceptible ; gave him two grains of slid opium, to he alba ..ed little or no drink, if thirsty his lips to be wet ; the opium did not rest in the body ; two hours aver he became inure livid, and his exaremit.es got cold, his pulse no hmger perceptible; gore him a stimu lating injection, and ordered stimulantteteo b il e ise g i,e given a nt nd h to him repeatedly ; in the course of the niorn;ng the pow e rs o f l i x fe p expired about o b r eemne o l u esi n 'a e o'clock Pe ; the of combating h cause o f his death was the disease called cholera. He was visitd in the morning by Professor Elliotson, Daun, Oak, Johnston, Sigmond, Halewood, and many other gentlemen ; there was not one that differed is opinion with him. Tile Jury consulted for a short time, and returned their verdict—" That the said TLon►poon Georg.. S.aticlerlanda came by his death by the prevailing epidemic." THE biAKKETb. ET..—March 28.
