PITTS Tux: , SCULPTOR. The fate of this gifted artist adds another' to the fah ,melancholy catalogue of losses sustained by OilL. ti f country, in the premature deaths of men digtaiutt,;,k m 76,7 whose works have failed to excite the attention and en couragement of the noble and wealthy classes, who ! too often squander tens of thousands in the purchase I of spurious antiques, and well-manufactured copies of the " old m as t ers ," m e r e ly to enrich sordid specula- I tors, whilst the native artist, of true talent, is disre garded, and left to drag out a laborious and painful existence ; and, perhaps, to meet an early doom, or untimely fate. " For," as a kind and judicious friend, ! writes to us, " who will now contemplate without ad miration the beautiful works which he perfected, but which remain in his studio, sad mementos of the want of that patrona g e to which he was so eminently entitled." He died in the fifty first year of his age. His father was a manufacturing silversmith, who taught him his art ; but young Pitts showed an early ambition and capacity for higher things. All his leisure time was occupied in tensely in thinking on the highest classes of design. He commenced a series of illustrations of the Xneid in , outline, which displayed very high talent, and drew on him the attention of Sir R. \Vestmacott, R.A. Sti mulated by the high opinion of so competent a judge, he modeled the Shield of Encas, which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1827, and up to this time it stands unrivalled, both in design and execution. He followed this up with other fine classical designs—viz., the Rape of Prosperine, alto-relievo—the Marriage of Pirithous and Hippodamia, basso-relievo--the Shield of Her culus, from Hesiod—the Pleiades adorning Night —the Creation of Eve, in alto-relievo, and many others which were exhibited at the Royal Academy, and particularly a beautiful bas-re lief of the English Monarchs, from the conquest down to 1838. All these fully justified the expecta tions formed from his earlier works. Mr. Pitts also embellished several of the apartments in Buckingham Palace—viz., the north and south drawing-rooms, and the bow-room ; these works are of large dimensions— some 30 feet long—and they all bear ample testimony to his Aalents as an Ktiat. He has alsti left - numerous sketches behind him. PRICE sd. ' our consideration, viz.„ that these officers are deprived t' of the advantages of a soldier servant. We by no 1 means desire to see a return to the system under which Medical Staff-Officers were allowed to select servants from the convalescents in hospital, and strongly depre cate any arrangement which would weaken the bat talions in the field before an enemy by withdrawing from the ranks active and efficient men to be servants to Medical Officers of the Staff ; but we think there is some just ground of complaint that a Medical Officer, when promoted from a regimental to be a Staff Officer, should lose that advantage be had derived in common with other officers of the regiment, from the assistance of a soldier servant. We have been in formed that on actual service in the field, it is of the utmost importance to the Medical Officer to have the advantage of a servant subject to military law, and by whom, therefore, he is not liable to be abandoned. at the first moment of difficulty or danger ; we would, there fore, humbly recommend to your Majesty to give direc tions to the military authorities of the Army to consi der of the means of affording such assistance, without withdrawing men from the regiments employed before an enemy. In other positions we are of opinion that this difficulty would be best obviated by the grant of a money allowance, and the compensation we should pro pose would be one shilling a day. In regard to the retirement of Army Medical Officers, we have to report to your Majesty that there does not not appear to us to be any necessity to make any change in the regulations under which Medical Officers have an unqualified right to retire from active employ ment upon certain specified rates of half-pay after twenty-five years' service ; but we think that it might he attended with advantage to the public interests if, after twenty-five years' full-pay service, varied as that employment must have been by climate and circum stance, the Medical Officers had a right to retire upon what is called the reduced instead of the retired scale of half-pay. At present they obtain this indulgence after thirty years' full-pay service ; but as the right of retirement from active employment is equally secured to them ;After twenty-five years, we think the boon should be made complete, and the reduced and not the retired scale of half-pay should then be allowed upon exactly the same conditions that it is granted after thirty years. If it were necessary to support our recommen dation in this respect upon financial grounds, we would beg to record it as our opinion that the earlier retire ment would not be disadvantageous to the public in a pecuniary point of view , and we are satisfied that, looking to the interests of the serving -officers, we are affording more ready access to the higher ranks of the department than can result from the exaction of the longer period of service. Unfortunately Mr. Pitt's health was very delicate, and this increased the natural sensitiveness of his mind, and he was unable to mix with the world, and use the ordinary efforts to excite a more general acquaintance with his works—those elegant works, few of which, to the reproach of our " patrons of art," have passed from h:s own studio! and the numerous family of this amiable, gifted, and honest minded man, required his constant exertions to supply their wants ;—and it is with pain we sum up this brief outline of this distinguished artist's career, with the statement, that he has died without leaving any provision for his wife and family ! SINGULAR CASE OF FELONY. CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. At the late Quarter Sessions for the county of Sus sex a young lad, named Coley, was indicted for sterling sixteen sovereigns and 141. in silver, the property of Edward Everest, a publican, at Lincfield. It appeared from the evidence in support of the prosecution, which was purely circumstantial, that •on the day the robbery was committed the prisoner was at the prosecutor's house, and soon after he was gone money, which was in two canvass bags, was missed. Evidence was then ad duced to show that after the robbery the prisoner had been squandering money in all directions. At one place he had purchased a gun, at another a loadstone, ginger bread nuts, a pair of razDrs, and a knife. He also pur chased another gun, four dogs, and three ferrets, for 41., and at a watchmaker's he purchased a hunting-watch for 5/. ; and all the witnesses spoke to his taking the money with which he paid for the articles, and which consisted of gold and silver, from bags similar to those describe' by the prosecutor. It was upon this evidence that the case for the prosecution mainly rested. On th , part of the prisoner it was admitted that the moue} spent by him was the produce of a robbery, but not of the prosecutor, and that in point of fact the prisoner had stolen it from his own brother. Henry Coley, tht prisoner's brother, was then called, and he stated that he and the prisoner lived in the same house and slept together, and that about the month of March last he had saved up 221. in gold and silver, which he placed in a canvass bag in his bedroom, and the prisoner was aware that he had that sum by him. He missed the whose of the money afterwards, and upon his taxing the prisoner with it he admitted that he bad robbed him and spent the money. In support of this statement the witness's master, a respectable farmer, was called, and he proved that Henry Coley was a sober, frugal, young man, and that he had paid him but a short time before the sum of 101. in a check upon the Lewes Bank. To rebut this evidence witnesses were called on the part of the prosecutor, two of whom stated that they would not believe Henry Coley on his oath, and the constable stated that as he was conveying Philip to gaol his bro ther Henry told him to keep his own caunsel, and that the Lord would deliver him. The Jury, after some de liberation, ultimately returned a verdict of Not Guilty. (TO BE CONTINUED.) MAINE BOUNDARY QUESTION. The following is the Report of Major-General Scott, of the United States Army, relative to th e military preparations mad e by th e British authori ties in North America. The Report of the same gallant officer respecting British shipping on the Lakes, appeared in The Sun of yesterday : " Head-quarters, Eastern Division, Elizabe:htown, New Jersey, March 23, 1840. " Sir,—l have received from your office copies of two resolutions, passed respectively the 12th and 9th in stant, one by the Senate, and the other by the House of Representatives ; and I am asked for ' any information on the subject of both, or either of the resolutions, that may be in (my) possession.' " In respect to the naval force recently maintained upon the American Lakes by Great Britain, I have just had the honour to report to the Secretary of War, by whom the resolution of the House of Representatives of the 3th instant was directly referred to me. " I now confine myself to the Senate's resolution, respecting military (I omit naval) preparations of the British authorities on the Northern frontiers of the United States, from Lake Superior to the Atlantic Ocean, distinguishing the permanent from the tempo rary and field works, and particularly noting those which arc within the claimed limits of the United States.' " I will here remark, that however well my duties have made me acquainted with the greater part of th© line in question, 1 have paid but slight attention to the forts and barracks erected by the British authorities near the borders of Maine, above Fredericton, in New Brunswick, or in Upper Canada, above Cornwall, being of the fixed opinion which need not here be developed, that all such structures would be of little or no military value to either of the parties in the event of a new war between the United States and Great Britain.

" The inequalities of life are real things, they can neither be explained away, nor done away ; Expellas furca tamen usque recurrent." A leveller, therefore, has long ago been set down as a ridiculous and chimerical being, who, if he could finish his work to-day, would have to begin it again to-mor row. The things that constitute these real inequalities, are four—strength, talent, riches, and rank. The two former would constitute inequalities in the rudest state of nature ; the two latter more properly belong to a state of society more or less civilized and refined. Perhaps the whole four are all ulti mately resolvable into power. But in the just appreciation of this power, men are too apt to be deceived. Nothing, for in stance, is more common than to see rank or riches preferred to talent, and yet nothing is more absurd. That talent is of a much higher order of power than riches, might be proved in various ways, being so much more indeprivable and indestructi ble, so much more above all accident of change, and all confu sion of chance. But the peculiar superiority of talent over riches may be best discovered from hence-1 hat the influence of talent will be the greatest in that government which is the most pure; while the influence of riches will always be the greatest in that government which is most corrupt. So that, from the preponderance of talent, we may always infer the soundness and vigour of the commonwealth; but from the pre ponderance of riches, its dotage and degeneracy. That talent confers an inequality of a much higher order than rank, would appear from various views of the subject, and more particularly from this—Many a man may justly thank his talent for his rank, but no man has ever yet been able to return the compli ment, by thanking his rank for his talent. When Leonardo da Vinci died, his Sovereign exclaimed, I can make a thou sand lords, but not one Leonardo.' Cicero observed to a dege nerate Patrician, lam the first of my family, but you are the last of yours." And since his time, those who value themselves merely on their ancestry, have been compared to potatoes—all that is good of them is under the ground ; perhaps it is but fair that nobility should have descended to them, since they never would have raised themselves to it." To CORRESPONDENT 6.—" The Bible.—We have been so earnestly exhorted to persevere in opening our Paper to the dis cussion of the merits of the New Translation, as a question of the utrno t importance to the interests of mankind, that we feel it to be our duty to comply. Our Correspondents, therefore, shall be attended to in turn, r.s we have reason to believe that the Heads of the Church have already directed their attention to the controversy."—The Sun, London, Saturday, Dec. 5, 11118. " Surely the elevated patronage which this New Translation has deservedly obtained, should operate as a general example and incitement. Shall the Bible, with its many acknowledged errors, descend to posterity polluted with all those errors ; or shall it be transmitted to the latest generations of mankind, with as much of its original pnrit.y as it is possible for human sagacity, knowledge, and diligence to e l uc id a te a n d confi rm ."— The Sun, Monday, November 23d, 1818. The Sun, Septem ber 30th, October 7th, and 28th, 1837. Here was the Sovereign, with the appreciation of Leonardo da Vinci, in the person of the linguist. What kindred feeling have the "thousand lords," who value themselves merely on their ancestry, shown ?—an apathy to exhibit " that all that is good of them is under ground !" With what truth may the distinguished proprietor of this Paper throw the galling taunt, " lam the first of my family—you are the last of yours." He whose columns were the first to maintain the renown of his Prince, and who now associates with his requiems the utmost endeavours to make a linguist's languor smile upon his bed of death. The recollection of that noble panegyric, in a para graph of " bright intelligence" of Sheridan's, ennobles him. " I give you a slavish and a sycophantic nobility, partial and interested judges, a corrupt and venal House of Commons ; yet, leave me the single advantage of a free press, and amidst all evils I will not despair." " It has been remarked, as a peculiarity in modern criti cism, that the courtly and loyal make a point of crying up Mr. Young as an actor, and equally running down Mr. Kean ; and it has been conjectured in consequence that Mr. Kean was a Radical. Truly, he is not a radical politician ; but, what is as bad, he is a radical actor. He savours too much of the reality. Ile is not a meek-tragedian, an automaton player—he is something besides his paraphernalia. He has that within him which passes show." There is not a par ticle of affinity between h im and the patrons of the court. writers. Mr. Young, on the contrary, is every thing—all assumption, and strut and measured pomp, full of self-import ance. void of truth and nature, the mask of the character he takes, a pasteboard figure, a stiff piece of ,wax-work. He fills the throne of tragedy, not like an upstart or usurper, but as a matter of course, decked out in his plumes of feather and robes of state, stuck into a posture, and repeating certain words by rote. Mr. Kean has a heart in Isis bosom, beating with human passions (a thing for the great • to fear, not to delight in !') He is a living man, and not an artificial one. How should those, who look to the surface, and never probe deeper, endure him ? He is the antithesis of a court actor. It is the object there to suppress and varnish over the feelings, not to give way to them. His overt manner must shock them, and be thought a bfeaeli of all decorum. They are in dread of his fiery humours, of coming near hie Voltaic battery—they choose rather to be roused gently from their self-complacent apathy by the application of metallic tractors. They dare not trust their delicate nerves within the estuary of the passions, but would slumber out their torpid existence in a calm, a dead sea, the air of which extinguishes life and motion."—On the Spirit of Monarchy : The Liberal, No. 2, Byron.

" JACK ASHORE." BY THE AUTHOR OF " RATTLIN THE REEFER."—ht this novel Mr. Howard has traced an entirely new character, under circumstances alto gether out of the usual conception of writers of novels, and right ably has he filled up his outline. Jack is all that a sailor of the days of the war with France was, or ought to have been, and he is completely a character, which our country used to delight in, and at the same time, depend upon for its de fence and glory. He is a singular compound of simplicity and shrewdness, of confidence and caution, whilst he is disin terested, generous, and careless of any thing beyond the fun and frolic of the present hour. In fact, honest Ja c k T rue _ penny is the most accurate delineation of a perfect sailor that is to be found in our language. The novel may Ise considered as a perfect camera obscura, reflecting accurately and clearly not only the interior, the equipment, arrangements, and in ternal economy of a ship-of-the-line, but all the habits, pro ceedings and actions of those on board of her. The represen tation could be given in such perfection only by the powerful faculties of a first-rate writer, who had been familiar with all that he places on the canvass. The plan of the work gives op. portunities for an infinite variety of scenes of every descrip tion, some of them pathetic, some awful, others very satyrical, and others again fraught with every species of humour, from the most broad to the most refined. Jack Ashore is an ex cellent novel, well calculated to become a standard work, from its e x quisite representation of a seaman's character. D ispatch. The Right Hon.

The Medical Departm ent o f the M i l i tary an d N ava l Services necessarily came under our review in the exa mination of the condition of the Officers of the Army and the Navy ; and seine evidence from the principal Medical Officers of both services will be found in the Appendix to our Report, as well as Returns prepared for the purpose of exhibiting the state of this depart ment, and the prospects of promotion and retirement that were open to Military or Naval Medical Officers. We would beg to observe to your Majesty, that the general impression produced on our minds by the exa mination of the evidence, both verbal and documentary, • which was placed before os, was that the condition of the Army Medical Officers was not unfavourable ; that the great advantages of increased pay and increased retired allowances which were given to this class of officers by the regulations of 1830, were well calcu fated to secure a succession of accomplished Medical Officers for the military service ; and that but few changes in those regulations would be requisite to place that branch of the service in a satisfactory position in rela tion to other ranks in the army. According to the existing establishment of Medical Officers, as laid down in the warrant of 1830, there are six classes, viz.:— Inspector-General of Hospitals, Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals, Assistant Inspector of Hospitals, Staff- Surgeon, Regimental Surgeon, and Assistant. Surgeon ; and the course of promotion is regulated throughout upon a principle of selection. The Assistant-Surgeon is eligible for promotion to the rank either of Staff-Surgeon or Regimental Sur geon, upon vacancies in the authorised establishment ; while his subsequent advancement from the rank of Surgeon, must, under the warrant, be made through the Commission of Assistant-Inspector. The Deputy-Inspector-Generals' appointments are filled by selection from the Assistant-Inspectors ; and the Deputy-Inspectors furnish the candidates from whom the Inpectors-General are taken. But while we in general approve of the regulations established by the warrant of 1830, they appear to us to require some amendment for the purpose of renderieg more clear the demarcation of the comparative rank and respective duties of medical officers of th e diff erent grades, and also for that of diminishing the time which elapses before they can expect, under. the pr esen t ar rangement, to receive th e fi rst step of advancement in their profession. The Staff-Surgeons ought, we conceive, to be considered a superior appointment to th a t o f ltogi mental Surgeon ; but t his superiority can hardly be said at present to exist, since anAssistant-Surgeon may now be appointed to be a Staff-Surgeon, without having previously gone through the rank of Regimental Sur geon ; while the Staff -Surgeon, who th roug h out t h e war was accustomed equally with the Physician, whose place is now filled by the Assistant-Inspector of Hos pitals, to look forward to the rank of Deputy-Inspec tor, as the step immediately above him, i s now requ i red to pass through the rank of Assistant-Inspector, for which the Regimental Surgeon is not considered less eligible than himself. The difference of pay .between the lt. g i menta l an d the Staff-Surgeon is also insufficient to counterbalance the advantage which the former derives f rom his mels and other Regimental privileges, in so much that it is practically found that Regimental Surgeons arc fre• quently unwilling to accept the appointment of Staff- Surgeon. It appears to us also that the nature of the durties which should properly belong to Medical Officers on the Staff does not require that there should be so great a number of different ranks of these officers as at present exists. For these reasons we would beg leave to recommend that the rank of Assistant -Inspector of Hospitals should be abolished ; and that the pay and comparative rank in the Aamy now enjoyed by . this , class of officers, should be conferred upon the Staff- Surgeon ; which appoint ment should be in future considered the intermediate grade between the Regimental S . arrange ment,urgeon an d the D eputy _ Inspector of Hospitals- But in adopti ng this we conceive that it would be necessary to provide some further means for the promotion of Assistant- Surgeons, since it appears to us, from the statements furnished by the Director-General, which are included in our Appendix, that too great an interval now elapses before the first step of promotion can he gained by Medical Officers of the Army. It is shown by these statements that in the five If in the field with an army of 10,000 men and up wards, the principal Medical Officer is allowed 20s. a-day ; with 5,000 men, Iss. ; any less number, 103. If in a colony where the force exceeds 1,500 men, ss. a-day. With these additional advantages thus conferred upon the Medical Department, it does not appear to us that there is any sufficient reason for regarding the single precedent of 1830 as justifying the very large charge which would result f.om an extension of substantive promotion to the Medical Officers of the Army, on occasions of general Brevet advancement, without re ference to the demand which may exist for their services in the higher ranks. We think such a course would be the more inexpedient, because, as the opportunities for employing the higher class of Medical Officers are, in time of peace, necessarily very limited, and as every. vacancy which may occur is filled by promotion, any ge neral promotion contemporaneously with Army Brevets, would in effect be granting retirements in ranks superior to those the officers have filled in employment. This does not appear to us to be proceeding on a sound prin ciple, or acting in accordance with the Public announce ment made in the Warrant of 1830, under with a term of service in the rank is required, even before the ad vantages of the full-pay attaching to it are granted. Upon full consideration, therefore, we are not pre pared to support the claims of the Medical Officers to profit by the introduction of a system of general pro motion to be conferred with Army Brevets, as it is new to the Service, and not called for on any public grounds. We would beg to take this opportunity of recording our opinion against a practice which has occasionally prevailed, of advancing to higher rank Medical Officers, after a long retirement to half-pay. Considering how strong must be the inducement to endeavour to remain on half-pay, which the hope of obtaining private practice must afford to the Medical Officer, we think it of the utmost importance that service, and service only, should be the means of obtaining promotion, and that no claim to military advancement should he recognised in any officer who shall have ceased to discharge the active duties of his profession, and shall have retired into private life. It appears to us that, in place of an indiscriminate selection of officers for promotion and retirement en oc casions of general Brevet advancement, it would be tar better to arrange the details of the Service in such a manner as should exact some duty in the new rank from the Medical Officer before he quits the active for the non-effective list, and at the same time preserve a constant stream of promotion, by opening amccession to the higher Medical appointments, in addition to the op portunities afforded by the casualties o f the Service. It is in evidence before us that such a course has been followed in regard to the app ointment of principal Medical Officer in the West Indies ; and the adapt tion of that course to other stations appears to us to be well calculated to encour a g e a ho p e of promotion in the active and zealous Medical Officer, and to spread more widely the opportuniti es of obtaining , the lucrative em ployments in the. department. The practice to which we advert is that of c onferring the appointment of Inspector- General of Hospi tals in the W est Indies on a Deputy Inspector, selected for the station, who fills the situ a ti on for three three years, under a commission which give s hi m local and temporary rank. That period of service being past, his rank . is made permanent, and be r e ti res to make room for a fresh appointment. We arc informed that this principle has been recently extend e d t o some o ther foreign stations and we are disposed to agree with Sir James M'Grigor, that It may be regarded as a valuable addition to the means of giving promotion for actual service to the deserving Medical Officers of the Army. Is our investigation of the condition of the Medical Officers of the Staff, one point was much pressed upon " Between Lakes Huron and Erie the British have three sets of barracks—one at Windsor, opposite to Detroit ; one at Sandwich, a little lower down ; and the third at Malden, 18 miles from the first; all built of sawed logs, strengthened by block-houses, loopholes, &c. Malden has been a military post, with slight de fences. These have been recently strengthened. The works at Sandwich and Windsor have also, I think, bcen erected within the last six or eight months. " Near the mouth of the Niagara the British have two small forts—George and Messianga. Both ex isted during the last war. The latter may be termed a permanent work. Slight barracks have been erected within the last two years on the same side, near the Falls, and at Chippewa, with breastworks at the latter place ; but nothing, I believe, above the works first named, on the Niagara, which can be termed a fort) " Since the commencement of the recent troubles in the Canadas, and (consequent thereupon) within our limits, Fort William Henry, at Kingston, and Fort Wellington, opposite Ogdensburg (old works), have both been strengthened within themselves, be sides the addition of dependencies. These forts may be called permanent. " On the St. Lawrence, below Prescott, and con fronting our territory, I know of no other military post : twelve miles above, at Brockville, there may 'be temporary barracks and breastworks. I know that of late Brockville has been a military station. " In the system of defences on the approaches to Montreal, the Isle Aux Noix, a few miles below our line, and in the outlet of Lake Champlain, stands at the head. This island contains within itself a system of permanent works of great strength. On them the British Government has, from time to time, since the peace of 1815, expended much skill and labour. " Odletown, near our line, on the western side of Lake Champlain, has been a station for a body of Canadian militia for two years, to guard the neighbour hood from refugee incendiaries from our side. I think that barracks have been erected there fbr the accom modation of these troops, and also at a station, with the like object, near Alburgh, in Vermont. " It is believed that there are no important British forts, or extensive British barracks on our borders, from Vermont to Maine. " In respect to such structures on the disputed ter ritory, Governor Fairfield's published letters contain fuller information than has reached me through any other channel. I have heard of no new military pre parations by the British authorities on the St. Croix or Passamaquoddy Bay. " Among such preparations, perhaps I ought not to omit the fact that Great Britain, besides numerous corps of well-organized and well-instructed militia, has at this time within her North American provinces more than 20,000 of her best regular troops. The whole of those forces might be brought to the verge of our territory in a few da3s. Two thirds of that regu lar force has arrived out since the spring of 1838.

TII E Fox CALUMNIATED.—On Friday, the 10th inst., the meet of the Northumberland and North Dur ham fox-hounds was, at the request of several farmers in the neighbourhood, fi xe d f or Old H ea t on , on the banks of t he Till. A fox, it was reported, had for some days previously killed a number of lambs on that and some adjoining farms, and to pre vent future mischief it was resolved to hunt down the destroyer. While waiting the arrival of the gentlemen connected with the h un t i n th e field adjoining the h huntsman and hipper-in were surp rised to observe a large dog seiz e an d carr y off a lamb, with which it escaped into a plantati on . In a short time afterwards the dog again made its appearance ; and by this time, the whole field having been assembled, its retreat was cut off, and it was captured. It turned out to be a large blue greyhound bitch, which had lately whelped, and tshencriatuguirte,,dt buried the laatitidThfworhe h Ic paN s v i s lewiez covered with mud, ha f the number of lambs said t o b e previously carried off.

The Coroner for the western division of Surrey, ssith the assistance of a Jury, war engaged during the last week in investigating the circumstances under which a male infant, found on a barge at the Kingston wharf, with its head dashed literally to atoms, came by its death. It was deemed advisable by the Jury on Wed nesday to adjourn the inquest until Friday, in order to give Mr. Taylor, the surg eon w h o was called in, an op portunity of snaking a post mortem examination, and for the production of additional evidence. The fcllow ing facts were then detailed :—On Tuesday morning a bargeman named Smith left his barge at the Kingston wharf while be went into the town, and upon his return shortly afterwards, be found in the forecastle the dead body of the infant lying upon a plank. It was quite naked, and the head rimmed to be crushed, and the brains were protruding from it. The body appeared to be wet, and seemed as though just tiken from the water. Smith immediately gave an alarm, and Mr. Taylor was sent for, and examined the body, expressing his opinion that it had only been in the water a very short time. It appeared to be about three months old. On Friday, when Mr. Carter and the Jury assembled at the Row Barge public-house, Kingston, Mr. Taylor was further examined, and stated that after a post mortem examination of the deceasA it appeared to be perfectly well formed and healthy, and he had no doubt that it was born alive, and that its.death had been oc casioned by violence. Notwithstanding all the vigilance of the officers, not the slightest clue could be obtained as to who was the perpetrator of this horrible act. The Coroner said that under these circumstances the Jury would not probably ho inclined to have any further adjournment, and they might return such a verdict as would leave the case open to further investi gation at the hands of the proper authorities in tha event of any further information being obtained. The Jury then returned a verdict that the dccea'od was found dead, but that there was no evidence before them to show how the body of the child came where it was found, or by what means it met its death. It is hardly necessary to state that the occurrence has created a considerable sensation in Kingston and the neighbourhood. THE ASHANTEE PRI NCES.--Monday the Prince William Quaintana'sah and Prince John ;inside, nephews of the powerful King of Ashantee, arrived at the New London Inn, in this city, on their route to Plymouth and- Cornwall, accompanied by the Bev. 'l'. Pent:, of Tootink, These young Princes are about 18 or 19 years of age. and were delivered over to our Government as hostages a few years since, at the termination of a treaty with the Ashanteos on the Gold Coast of Africa ; they are exceedingly interesting and intelligent young men, and have greatly profited by the care and attention bestowed upon their education ; they are now engaged in a tour through England, to inspect the prin cipal manufactories, and other places worthy of their attention previous to their return to their native country. They have not only been taught the Christian religion, but we believe are sincere and true converts ) and the selection of a clergyman of piety and literary attainments as their present companion re flects great credit on Lord John Russell, who has taken a lively interest in the welfare of the young Princes. It is intended that they shall leave England about six months hence for Ashantee, and it is hoped their influence and exertions will nut only prove of great advantage, in a political view, to our settlements in the neighbourhood, but tend to impede that accursed traffic in human flesh, which, while the British are prohibited from engaging in it, is continued surreptitiou4ty under other flags, to the great detriment of legitimate celps merce and civilization. —Exeter Gazette.
