It is with unfeigned satisfaction we find that the National Political Union has at length—we say at length, for it might have been done sooner— taken up the question of the German edicts. The example will, no doubt, be promptly followed up by all the provincial Unions, and thus, by next Session, we shall have a manifestation of public feeling drawn forth, to which no Reformed House of Commons will dare to turn a deaf ear. Let no one suppose, that by thus inter fering in Continental matters, England is meddling with things that do not concern her, or acting with rashness or indiscretion. The question of German freedom is not a local question ; it has no fixed geographical limits ; is bounded by no lines of territorial demarcation, but concerns all Europe equally. The edicts, especially, insi nuate a polite hostility (which, if not resisted in time, may possibly deepen into something more direct and tangible) against reformed England and revolutionized France. For let no one sup pose that the German Sovereigns would have committed themselves to the extent that they have just done, had it not been from apprehension and hatred of the spirit which these two countries have set afloat throughout Europe. It is here that the shoe pinches. It is the conduct of France and England that has drawn forth the Frankfort edicts. It is because we have Reform, and Franc e a somew h a t, b u t not muc h, b e tt er consti tution than she had before, that Germany is to have chains and slavery. It is hard that one country c annot i mprove i ts own i nst itutions, without endangering those of others. But such must ever be the case till the long-pending ques tion of Might v. Right is got out of the political Chancery Court. The German edicts are the deadliest blows that European freedom has ever yet received. They are not confined to the comparatively un important question of territorial aggrandisement ; they have no regard to a quarrel of this King with th a t King, or this country with that country ; they are an assault on opinion —an incom e tax on mind ----an embargo on the spirit of thought itself. They are an attempt to restore the dark ages, to revive, under another form, the persecutions of the In quisition. Let them but succeed, and Ger many will be again the nation that she was in the days of TAcirus. We shall have another " de moribus Germanorurn" to illustrate the character of the savages. And this mighty change—this crusade against all that is exalted In thought and generous in intellect—this at tempt to chain mind, as XERXES of old strove to fetter the waves of the Hellespont,—all this is proposed to be brought about by two Monarchs, with whom, in point of intellect, even the meanest of their subjects might scorn to compare himself! Yes, the fool proposes to forge fetters for the wise; he who cannot think himself, is resolved that no one else shall enjoy a greater privilege. Be it so, the proposal is a fortunate one, for it will bring matters to a speedy crisis. How it will terminate, no one can doubt. Mind will assert her license, freedom her right, and those will succumb to-morrow, who, had they been wise, would have done so yesterday. For we contend that henceforth there can be no retrograde march in human improvement. ARCHIMEDES has found the lever by which he will move the world. A desultory conversation took place last night in the House of Commons on the subject of the LORD CHANCELLOR'S Salary Bill. Mr. SAD LER proposed a reduction of 2,0001. a year; but the original proposition was carried by 52 to 6. The Greek Convention Bill was subsequently read a second time, Lord PALMERSTON ob serving that the appointment of Prince OTHO of Bavaria was approved of by the majority of the Greek Chieftains. The conduct of Mr. SHAW and Mr. BEST, in dividing the House this morning sixteen times, on the Party Processions Bill, is only another proof of the unabated rancour with which the Orange and Ultra-Tory party pursue their hostility to every sort of improvement.— Had the Bill been one which had any tendency to check rational liberty, had it borne a resem blance to any of the Six Acts of CASTLE REAGH, or to any of the strong measures of a Tory Government, then the weaker party in the House might have been justified in using the only weapons in their power to stop its progress. This Bill, however, has no such object. Its sole object is to remove party distinctions, and abolish those irritating pro cessions, which not only keep alive hostile feelings between the parties, but often lead to great loss of human life. Such a desirable result does not suit the purposes of the party. Were such distinctions abolished, then their occupation would be gone ; they would no longer have the power of riding rough shod over their fellow-creatures, of obtaining all the good things in the church, in the army and navy, and in every department of the state, under a Tory Government. Were the inte rests of the two parties identified, the numerous appointments which had hitherto been the ex clusive right of the Orange faction, must be dis tributed over a population of seven millions in place of one million, and we need not, therefore, wonder that they cling with such death-like grasp to their bigotted and selfish principles. We only wonder that their passion at times should get the better of their policy, and should exhibit them in such a factious and pitiable light as they appeared in this morning at three o'clock. Al - however, must be made for the lateness of the hour, and the sort of halo which sleep and fatigue, and other causes, cast around the mental vision, and we charitably hope that on their awakening this morning they felt as heartily ashamed of their conduct as the rest of the House must have been disgusted with it. Their only plausible defence is that Mr. STANLEY had dropped the bilk This Mr. STANLEV . denies, and on that point they are at issue. The French papers of Tuesday have been re ceived. The marriage of King LEOPOLD with the Princess LOUISE takes place this day at Corn peigne, whither LOUIS PHILIPPE proceeded on Sunday with his daughter. We sincerely hope that the ac com pli s h e d b r id e w il l b e more happy in her destiny than her illustrious predecessor. These papers contain no news of any import ance. The late debate on INTr.H. BULWER'S mo tion respecting the Frankfort decree, has occa sioned a good deal of remark among the various journals. This will be productive of good throughout Germany, for the French papers find their way thither in spite of all METTERNICH'S precautions to the contrary. There is no news from Spain or Portugal, nor do we expect any later than by direct com munication by steam-boat. New York Papers to the 17th of July have been received. They announce the appearance of the cholera in that city, where it broke out with great violence, 510 persons having fallen victims to its ravages in one week. This mor tality naturally caused great alarm, and the dis ease was spreading over to the Eastern States. If the chol e ra b e no t contag i ous , h ow h appens it that no precaution can arrest its course ?—.N ot even the vast Atlantic can stay the progress nor assuage the virulence of thisdestroying pestilence. The Tariff Bill had passed the Senate by a majority of 16-32 being for it, and 16 against it. The President would of course assent to it ; but it appears that he rejected the Bank Bill. The following are extracts of some letters from Mexico : " Extract of a letter to a gentleman in this city, dated Mexico, June 5 : " have nothing to add to my former letters on the score of business, as every thing continues completely pa. ralyzed ; nor will it regain its former activity until our domestic disputes can be settled. When this desirable object can be attained is quite problematical ; war still rages ; but the Government is losing ground at a great rate.' "Letters from Vera Cruz to the 11th ult. are quoted by the Mercantile Advertiser, which state, that Santa Anna had overtaken the retreating Government troops near Jalapa, and it was expected would immediately attack them. General Montezuma had forced th e G overnment troops uuder General Teran to retire from before Tampico. " Maxico.—The Louisiana Advertiser state s the fol lowing, on the authority of letters from Tampico and Vera Cruz : " In one from Tampico, of the date of the Ilth inst., it is stated that ' all Spaniards, included or not included in the law of expulsion, had been driven from this town by Montezuma. Several had taken their passage for New Orleans, as also have several- Mexicans of distinction, among whom is Seignor Miconi, cellector of the mari time customs of this place. Our city is a perfect chaos — all business is at a stand-still, and such is a scarcity of means on the part of the revolters, that it is now more than a week since the troops received any pay. The head -quarters of General Teran are at the Hacienda del Coso, 25 leagues distance horn this place, and his ad vanced guard ten leagues nearer to us. " ` The i n t erruption of communication with the inte rioris complete, and maintained in the fullest r4rour by the Government troops. In another direction, SOO Go vernment troops are m arc hi ng upon Tuepan an d P ue bl o Viejo de Tampico. We would advise you, that by no means should any vessels be expedited for this port, it being known for certain that a squadron is on the way from Campeachy, to convey troops and blockade our port. On the resignation of Mr. Alatnan and tl e other Mini sters, Bustamente adhered to his former declaration to the letter, and thus the Government affairs are really trans acted by the chief clerks.' I❑ another letter from Vera Cruz of the 12th instant, we are informed that Santa Anna, after pursuing his march through Pueblo de Acto pin, of the old road from Jalapa to Vera Cruz, had ad vanced to Encero. On hearing this, Colonel Rincon, who was stationed with 1,200 me❑ at Puente Nacional, had prepared to go and meet him ; hut Santa Anna, re ceiving notice of this movement, had wheeled about to Plan del Rico, where he had formed an ambuscade ; of this Rincon received timely information, and fell back upon Puente.' " The above is the substance of tha accounts in the Louisiana Advertiser. Heretofore the letters from Mexico published in New Orleans have been very incor rect and quite ex parte." The following are extracts from Brussels Papers of yesterday's date : BRUSSELS, Auo 6.—The King before he left Brussels signed a promotion of several majors in the army. Several of the Royal equipages set out yesterday for Compeigne. The Duke of Saxe Coburg and his two sons left the Pa lace of Lacken this morning at 5 o'clock for Louvain, to which place General Desprez will accompany him. His Highness will be present at a review of the garrison, and afterwards go to Liege. Yesterday afternoon the Minister of Finance sent an ex traordinary courier, with despatches, to Compeigne. The publication of the marriage of the King with the Princess of Orleans was made yesterday at the Town-hall in the usual form ; the notice will remain hung up for three days. The extent of the territory of the fortress of Maestricht was not fixed by any convention. The investment of the place which resulted from it was likely to give occasion to frequent conflicts between the Dutch and Belgian troops. To put an end to this state of things, General Magnan proposed to General Dibbets to agree together on a line which the garrison should not pass. The Governor re quired as a preliminary the evacuation of the right bank by the Belgian troops ; his envoy appealed to the twenty four articles. General Magnan replied, that it was strange that a Dutch General should claim the execution of a treaty to which his Government refused to subscribe ; he added, that as General Dibbets rejected his proposal, he would fix the line himself, and that orders would be given to his advanced posts to consider the advance of the Dutch detachments beyond the distance of 1,500 mitres from the glacis, as an act of open hostility. The Governor at first declared that he did not acknow ledge this limit, and that the garrison would continue to push its patrols as far as it should think fit. Soon afterwards a flag of truce came to announce to General Magnan that his proposal was accepted. It was agreed upon that the Belgian troops should occupy—first, the left bank, Smermaes, the Belvidere, Kaberg, Wolduc, Kan, and Caster ; second, on the right bank, Opharem, Keer, Gronsweet. (From the Moniteur Belge.) BRUSSELS, AUG. 7.—The Courrier Beige announces, on the credit of a correspondent, that France end Eng land have renounced the idea of employing measures of coercion against Holland, and that a 69th protocol, con taining new proposals of the Conference, must be already in the hands of the Ministry. This report being calcu lated to excite alarm in the public, we are authorized to con tradict it. The last despatches from London that have reached the Ministry, dated the 3d, make no mention of the existence of a 69th protocol. Without denying the possibility of the existence of this diplomatic document, the Ministry has strong reasons to doubt it, and, at all events, it can affirm that it has no knowledge of it directly or indirectly. We believe with the Courier that, if the circumstances were true, there would be reason to receive the news with calmness. The Government has too precisely explained its system and its intentions for us to fear an act of weak ness on its part. It well knew how to defend its system, because it considers it to be the only one that is good and honourable—the only one that can lead to a very speedy conclusion of our affairs. His Majesty the King of the Belgians arrived at Valen ciennes on Sunday afternoon, where he was received by the Duke of Choiseul, and after dinner proceeded on his Journey.. . The detachments of troops posted on the road by which their Majesties will come from France, are ordeted for the 12th. It is believed that their Majesties will not make their entry into Brussels till three days afterwards. A waggon heavily laden with part of the effects of the Queen arrived yesterday. A Russian Cabinet Messenger passed through this city yesterday, coming from St. Petersburg, with despatches for London. THE CHOLERA. BRUSSELS, AUG. 2 to 6.—New eases 27, deaths 7.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK We have no further information from Portugal as yet. Montreal Papers to the 11th July, Quebec to the Sth July, Jamaica Papers to the 16th June, and Port.au- Prince to 12th June, have been received at the North and South American Coffee House. (From the Montreal Papers.) Our readers will perceive by the report, a slight increase in the number of cholera cases and deaths, pro bably arising from the cold and damp weather of these last three days; but we trust our next report will be of a more cheerful nature. 10th July, New Cases from the Bth to the 9th lO Deaths, Catholic ground, 4 Protestant 7-11 Total number of cases at Chambly lOB Convalescent B5 Doubtful 8 Dead l5 —IOS Amongst the deaths are, Mr. James Cockburn, lately arrived from Scotland, and Mr. William Campbell, who possessed considerable property in this city. (From the Quebec Papers, July 7.) The , cholera, though cases still occur, has ceased to cause that alarm which it did some days ago. The me dical men treat it with greater confidence than they did. We can state from good authority that the cholera panic, which existed along the line of the St. Lawrence from Montreal to York, has greatly subsided. Cholera cases from the 6th to 7th of July :—Total of admissions, 831, total of deaths, 523. The .Philadelphia Gazette announces the arrival in that city, from Vera Cruz, of J. Costello, Secretary of Santa Anna, with an offer from that chief to General Pe drazza, to accompany him to Mexico, and to reinstate him in the President's chair. The Port-au-Prince papers, and the Jamaica papers, are entirely destitute of any information. By the French mail, this morning, accounts from Maestricht state that two Belgian flags of truce arrived in that city : their mission was not known. From Brus.els they write that King Leopold will not decide on any thing until his return from Compeigne, when it is supposed he will assemble the Chambers. The funds opened this morning at the same prices they left off yesterday. Consols 83 for the account, with nothing doing as yet. The estafette from Paris brings the rents higher, 69f. 60c., but no political news of conse quence. The speculators are anxiously waiting to ascer tain the price the French Loan will be taken at. HALF-PAST ONE. To the present time we haveMTpolit;aT news to com • municate, and the city speculators are quite idle, with scarce a bargain doing in the Funds. Consols remain steady at 831 to 81 for the Account. The Lisbon mad being now due we may expect some important news from that quarter by Saturday or Monday next, which is anxiously sought after. We have seen two letters from Bayonne, by the estafette—one says, that Don Pedro has been totally defeated, and the other states, that Don Ml guel's troops were defeated. This is a proof they have no official news. In the foreign market the chief business doing is ti : e payment of 5 per C-nts. on Don Pedro's scrip, which Is going on very favourably—which scrip has improved 31- to 2. THREE O' CL O CK.

This morning the roads from the metropolis to Wind sor presented a warlike aspect. The Grenadier Guards and the flank companies belonging to the different batta lions of the Foot Guards left their barracks, together with waggons containing the officers' baggages ;—some at an early hour. The various necessaries and camp equipages for the service of between 3,000 and 4,000 men, have been on the spot for this fortnight past. The 3d Regiment of Dragoon Guards arrived in London at nine o'clock this morning, from Brighton, and pro. ceeded to the Regency barracks. They are to do duty in place of the Life Guards, who are to march to Windsor to-morrow morning. Three troops of flying artillery, with six pieces of cannon, six-pounders, from Woolwich, passed over West minster-bridge about 10 o'clock, and proceeded through the Park by Story's Gate; with their baggage and ammo nition•waggons together, they formed a considerable train. They will halt to-night at Hounslow. The companies of the First Regiment of Guards will all be quartered at Kingston, and those belonging to other regiments of the same corps will be quartered in different places, but as near to each other as possible. The ground marked out for the principal camp atWind sot• is opposite the Long Walk, in front of the Queen's windows. The same duty, and exactly the same ceremonies, will be performed by the troops as if they were in an enemy's country. Poor old Windsor Castle will be bombarded without shot or shell ; stormed, taken and retaken, again and again. The butchers of the army will even kill their own meat, and serve it up in pieces, without weighing, on the hides of the animals, and in such manner it will be distributed to the messes. They will forage for fuel to cook with, &c. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

It is said that she was in particularly good spirits a few hours before her seizure, and had actually been joking about the cholera with Signor COSTA, adding, that one or other of them would be dead in the course of the week. Her words came but too true. Her seizure, however, was said to have been of a nature so unusually mild, as well as fatal, that the Doctor declared she could have suffered no pain. She was suffused with blackness as in a moment, and died without a struggle. Madlle. HEBERLE was so affected b y t h e loss of her sister, that she nearly went out of her s enses, and has been hurried off to France to be the more speedil y an d e ff ectually out of the way.

LITERATURE. STOCKQUELER'S FIFTEEN MONTHS' PIL GRIMA GE.-LONDON, 1832. Much agreeable, and some novel information, is contained in these two volumes of Travels, which are the production of a gentleman who has abundant opportunities of observing, and has suffered none to escape him. The most in teresting portions of his work are those which describe his wanderings—or pilgrimage, as he somewhat romantically styles them—through va rious untrodden tracts of Khuzistan and Persia, where robbers were as plentiful as in an oriental tale, and every day ushered in some new ex citing adventure. Among the Buctiari moun tains, Mr. Stockqueler had the honour of being robbed, and soundly drubbed by some most picturesque and wild-looking Buctiari foot-pads, of which robbery and drubbing he gives a very animated account. Indeed it would appear, from his description, that this adventure was among his most agreeable recollections. We have skimmed through his volume with considerable pleasure, and have been particularly struck with his curious details respecting the courts of Ha nover and Berlin. The book is dedicated to the Duchess of Cambridge. LARDNER'S CABINET CY CLOPiEDIA, No. XXXIII. This number comprises the second volume o: the History of the United States of America. Ii is a clever compilation from all the most popular and authentic works on the subject, and it is well adapted for the use of those who are able to read only by fits and starts. The character of Washington, and particularly of Jefferson, who is manifestly a great favourite with the author, are drawn with consummate ability. ALPHABET OF INSECTS. A curious entomological treatise, designed for the use of tyros in that study, and contain ing many novel particulars respecting the natural history of insects. Mr. James Rennie is the author of this little volume. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD RACES.

The racing this afternoon was limited in quantity, and of little importance to sporting men in its results; indeed, with the exception of the two-year old stakes to-morrow, the entire interest of the meeting is centred in the Produce and 30 Sovereign Stakes, which are expected to afford some clue to the merits of three or four of the principal favourites for the Great St. Leger. Neither Fang. Francesca, or Julius, have yet arrived, although their re spective partisans bear up strongly that to-morrow morning will see them at York. The sane mystery was observed last year with Saddler, and is not very commendable. Julius is reported to be amiss. The weather is very fine, and the company, as we had anticipated, miserably thin.

J. F. CHITTENDEN, Esq. in the chair, who, in the course of his Observations to the meeting, stated the number of pledges each candidate for the representation of East Kent has respectively obtained, viz., Sir WILLIAM COSWAY, 1,800; Mr. PLUMPTRE, 1,600; Sir E. KNATCHBULL, 1,200; therefore the suc cess of the two former appears certain.—Kentish Chron. It is curious that out of all the parishes to which the order of the House of Commons was sent for the " total number of those payers in each parish, and the number of rate-payers in each parish, who on or before the 20th July, 1832, had paid the assessed taxes and poor's rates due on or before the sth April last," only three parishes, viz., Lambeth, St. Andrew, Hol born, with St. George the Martyr, and St. Paul, Covent-garden, have chosen to understand the order so as to return a comprehensive answer, by showing how many have paid both rates ; all the other parishes have divided the classes so that their ans wers w ill not show the numbers qualified o vote under the Reform Bill. ?O'Per Cent +s ` r COOKE THE MURDERER. Within the last ten days, the penitence and contrition shown by Cooke has been surprising. Fully determined to brave out a trial and read a defence, he occupied him self with writing a long detail of the circumstances, in which he attributed the unfortunate death of Mr. Parse to a quarrel he had with him, and that he unluckily, in self defence, struck him with the press-pin. On Saturday week, however, all thoughts of this be gave up, and de clared it was false, and that he should plead guilty, and wished to state to the Town Clerk the particulars con nected with this horrid affair. We believe it was to the following effect; and as the confession will not be pub lished till after his death, we can only shortly state the outline,. He says, that he bad the murder in con templation a week previous to committing it; that on Mr. Peas coming into his work-shop ke shut the door after him, and that he then paid him a small account, but denies that he struck him while writing the receipt ; that Mr. Peas 100 L after took up a book that lay on the press, and while examining the bind ing, he walked behind him and immediately struck Lint on the back of his head (his hat being off at the time) ; that Mr. Peas immediately put both his hands to his head and staggered towards the door, and as loud as be was able called out " Murder !" that he (Cooke) again struck Lim another severe blow on the top of his head, and finc:- ing it not quite sufficient he dealt out a third, which brought the poor creature to the ground—he fell heavily on his side, and rolled over on his hack, his arms gave two or three convulsive shakes, and all was still. He then ' locked the door and left. On returning to the bloody scene in the evening, he stumbled over his victim, as he lay on the floor, which shook his nerves dreadfully, but that on commencing the work of cutting up the body he recovered his usual firmness, and was so little dis composed by what he was doing, that he could have gone on with the horrid work much longer than he did, if there had bet n any necessity for it. He then de clared, as a dying man, be cansumed every particle of the body, clothes, and all, except what was found; he then also stated that pride was the cause of his crime, as he wanted to get some money to embark for America. He alluded to being connected with a society formed princi pally of young men (Deists) who frequented a public house in this town, in which the writings of Tom Payne, Carlile, and other infidel authors were taken in and encouraged. He emphatically added " I considered myself a moral young man, attending as I did some place of Christian worship three times a day, till unfortunately I got connected with the above and other infidel associa tions." On Saturday last, Cooke seemed very much agitated, hearing the bells ring on the Judges coming into town ; he said it was a melancholy sound to him, but talked of his death with great firmness and composure. He was also visited by his father, who perhaps had better remained away, for on seeing his unfortunate son, he began to upbraid him, and asked how he could think of doing such a dreadful deed; that he had brought disgrace on the family, and that he never was before a Magistrate in his life except on hie account. This conversation was soon, however, put a stop to by the arrival of the chap lain of the prison, the Rev. Dr. Fancourt. The old man then left, but did not seem much distressed on the occa sion. In the evening he was again visited by Miss Payne of Sultry, who has had several placards printed to stick up in his cell, with Scripture mottos, " I know that my Redeemer liveth ;" " Lord, remember me when thou cotnest into tby kingdom," &c. 'The penitent state of feeling on the part of Cooke has been brought about chiefly by the impression which ha■ been made upon his mind by Mies Owston and Miss Bayne, whose visits to him we noticed last week, and who have attended him in his cell, and read religious works to him, frequently.— Leicester Herald. ASSIZES RECEIVED THIS DAY. MIDLAND CIR CUIT—LE.rcirsTER, Auu. 8. THE MURDER OF MR. PAAS. The trial o' James Cook for this atrocious murder being fixed for this morning, caused the avenues to the Court to he crowded from an early hour. By the courtesy of the Sheriff a box was set apart for the accommodation of re porters. It had bean generally rumoured for several days previously, that the prisoner intended to plead Guilty, but still the anxiety to get into Court and have a bight of the prisoner, continued very great. At nine o'clock the Judge entered the Court, and a Jury having been empanelled, the wretched culprit James Cook was placed at the bar, and arraigned on an indict ment containing various counts, but each charging him with the wilful murder of Mr. Johu Pass. The first count charged, that on the SOth of May he, with a certain iron bar, did strike and beat and mortally fracture the head of Mr. Paas. The second, that he murdered him by forcibly throwing him upon a great fire he had pre pared for the occasion. The third, with striking him and killing him by blows on the head and back of the neck, and afterwards cutting up and burning the body. The fourth averred that he had by divers ways and means, and by instruments unknown to the Jury, destroyed and after wards burnt the body in a way they were unable to set out. There were several other counts in the indictment, varying the form of expression, and retaining the same substantive charge. During the reading of the indictment the prisoner, who, from the first displayed the greatest self-possession, took out a pocket Testament, and appeared to be engaged in reading it. On being a►ked the awful question, " Are you Guilty or Net Guilty," he responded most audibly, Guilty. Th• Learned Judge, after a short pause, said, I suppose you are aware of the consequence of that plea. tie replied—l am. Judge : And you make it deliberately and advisedly ? Prisoner—l The prisoner again looked to the book, and the Learned Judge, addressing him, said—Attend to me now, not to the book ; you may look at your books hereafter. Do you mean to adhere to the answer you have just given ? and are you determined to persevere it it? Prisoner—l am. The Learned Judge then placed the black cap on his head, and in a most impressive speech sentenced the pri soner to be hanged on Friday next ; and, by way of marking the atrocious circumstances connected with his case, ordered that he should afterwards be gibetted in chain. ! NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Cumrs.r.z, 41 LTG. 7. The assizes for the county of Cumberland commenced here this day. Among the Grand Jury were observed Lord Morpeth, Lord Lowther, Sir T. F. Vane, Esq., Henry Howard, Esq., M.P., W. Blamire, Esq., M.P.,' and W. James, Esq., M.P. Mr. Justice PARK, in his address, observed, that con sidering the great population of the county and the number of persons that were employed in the manufacturing de pirtments, the calendar was unusually small, containing the names of only six persons for trial. The Learned Judge, in alluding to the alteration made in the law relit• rive to the disposal of the bodies of murderers after death, i , bserved that formerly the bodies of murd, rers were to be dissected, but with the view to set aside the prejudice against dissection, an Act bad been passed emposs ering the Judge, in future, to order the bodies of such criminals either to be hung in chains, or to be buried in the prison immediately after execution. Thomas - Marrs was indicted for the manslaughter of George Coulthard. The prisoner and the deceased met at a public-house, called the Half-way House, about two miles from Carlisle, and a quarrel took place between them, in consequence of Coulthard having torn the prisoner's coat. The prisoner said that Cou l t h ar d ought to send for a pot of ale to make it up, which the deceased agreed to do, and the ale was produced. The dispute, however, was renewed, blows were exchanged, and both fell to the ground. While the deceased was down the prisoner kicked him in a very brutal manner, and continued to kick him, although the deceased became insensible from the kicks he bad received. Among other injuries which the deceased received from the kicking, was a dislocation of the neck and fracture of the spine, which caused his death. The Jury found him Guilty. DEATH OF A MISER.—A few days ago, a woman, named SARAH WELLS, a pauper for many years in Bermondsey-, was taken ill ; she applied for extra parochial assistance, but this was refused, and she was re ferred to the workhouse; she refused to enter it, and CHeSNEY, the beadle, was sent to examine her case; he found her in bed in a room at No. 4, Page's-walk, Grange-road, in a dying state, and she soon expired. The bed on which she died was made of flock, and the only covered d g with was an old vermin; sack, th e e I:ieercyeapsea deceased t herself e w e chhteoi‘ng:.geatsip, together with naked. On examining the room, several pounds' worth of silver were found under the bed on which she died, to gether with half a dozen silver spoons, and silver sugar eosild been hoarding up for years; ,7t t ,v o ibitin n :oi,e g d,o s eh . fp ae : ixtf n rcsawe a plropl ceefeltnlace.tnrhsee: wretchedness o o nt f ssehi d hs: ; 0. ge everyre e s ltle thereyd• quantity : e r o l . p v t e ai r oi :I d ); a tf eo , g u r nae,niadt in this and although she complainel of such distress up to the moment of her . di solution, y et S h e was the possessor o f tLe property )11 NA.Coatd. l
