The Common Council, after discussing the subject, re cently required our respected borough coroner, (Mr. Curry.) with a view to effect a saving in the annual cost of holding inquests of some few hundreds a year, to aban don the system hitherto pursued, of holding all inquests at his own office, in Lord-street, and to hold them in the several districts in which deaths should occur, the cir cumstances attending which rendered proper his official inquisition into the facts. Those in favour of the change quoted the practice of Manchester and other inland towns, in which the average cost of inquests is certainly smaller than in Liverpool, arising from various causes, including the necessarily greater expense of witnesses in the latter. Prom what we can learn, however, Liverpool stands in a position, as regards this subject, very different from those towns, and it already appears the system pursued there will, if persisted in here, very considerably increase the expenditure, in place of diminishing it, while, at the same time, it ; is attended with several obvious disadvantages. District inquests can only be held in inns or public houses, and the cost of a room in each would amount an nually to much more than the rent of the coroner's pre sent office: besides which, a suitable room, to accommo date the jury, and the coroner, and his clerk, (who has to write nut the depositions in a fair legible hand,) is not to be had in every locality. The county allowance for a room is 3s. 6d. Now, we had last year no fewer than 678 inquests, and it is but fair to assume that, with our in creasing population, and the increasing number of street and dock accidents especially, the number will, on an average of future years, net fall short of 700. In each case the 3s. 6d. at least must be paid, making the rent of the rooms, or temporary courts, £122 10s. per annum. The rent of the present coroner's court, which is commo dious and respectable, though rather small wl.en serious cases, reouiring numerous witnesses, are to be investi gated, is only £6O ; so that there is, on this item alone, an additional annual cost of £62 108., or rather more than double ! The holding of inquests, too, at public houses is itself of a demoralising tendency, by naturally leading witnesses, jurors, and visitors to drinking, or to contact, if abstainers, with drinking customers of the house. It., moreover, militates against the dignity of any court, and ought not to be resorted to unless it cannot be avoided, as may happen in country places. The evil, in fact, is complained of by nearly all country coroners. Another circumstance is, that if the coroner be engaged here and there throughout the town for a day, and has no central office (for it is proposed to do away with it), police officers and others would be unable to find him, so as in stantly to hand in their reports of deaths,—thus causing other improper and, it might be, dangerous delays. One of the disadvantages to, we may say, the public, will be, that half of the cases will not be reported in the newspapers, and that consequently undetected or escaped delinquents, who have caused grievous injury or even death, may escape, no reports being published ; for it is impossible for proprietors of papers to employ reporters a whole day to run up and down the town in the wake of the coroner in order to obtain the particulars of the cases severally, and unless the informations are deposited in a central office, and they have access to them, all notice of the mass of them at least, must either be abandoned or founded upon vague and uncertain rumours. We could enlarge upon the subject, and point out what we conceive would make the old system much more satis factory in some respects, and less expensive in others ; as, for instance, by. an improvement in the selection of juries, and also in the law respecting post morteni exami nations, insisted upon by some surgeons, when the cause of death is sufficiently obvious, merely that they may pocket their fee of £2 but we shall defer further remark until another occasion. W/LEIE'S PAINTING OF Nareaznaz COMMANDING POPE PIUS VIE. TO SIGN Tim CONCORDAT. — One of the greatest treats provided of late by the spirited efforts of Mr. R. 11. Grundy, is the above fine picture, which is now on view at his Repository, 26, Church-street. The sub ject is one which will be remembered by every reader of modern history—the last effort, or one of the last efforts, of Napoleon Buonaparte to support his tottering throne by annexing to the empire of France the ecclesiastical patronage of the Roman pontiff, Pius the Seventh. The painter has chosen for the subject of his picture the inter view between the Pepe and the Emperor, at which the latter insisted upon the Pope's signature to the Concor dat, giving him the powers required. It is beautifully treated, and in every way worthy of the eminent artist. The scene is the private apartment of his Holiness, who is seated in his chair, whilst the Emperor, standing, is extending towards him, with an air truly imperative, the document required to be signed. The form and the face are a little more juvenile than those which we are accus tomed to see as those of Napoleon ; but they are in every respect characteristic. The decision and peremptory feeling of the moment are displayed in the erect frame and the firmly-compressed mouth, which has, however, a spice of scornful expression anti contempt about it. The unhappy Pins is, if possible, more graphically painted, the expression chosen by the artist being that in which his penultimate and most feeble refusal was given. The picture is finely engraved in line by J. H. Robinson, engraver to her Majesty, and is well worthy of a place in the gallery of every lover of art. LOE.To BILOUGIIANI.—It now appears from the cor respondence printed in the French papers. that Lord Brougham really demanded his naturalization as a French man. In answer the Minister of Justice apprised his Lordshhip "of the consequences that would ensue. If France adopted him as one of her SOW, he would cease to he an Englishman ; he would no longer be Lord but Olken Brougham. He instant lost all his titles. of nobility, and all the privileges as an Englishman." Lord Brougham then said, " I could only enjoy my privileges as an Englishman when in England—in France I should be what. the laws of France grant to the citizens of the Republic." The minister however peremptorily declines to grant his Lordship the request on these terms, and adds—" France admits of no participation of rights ; she does not admit: a French citizen to be at the same time a citizen of any other country. To become a French man von must cease to be no Rigliqh:nan ; you cannot be au Englishman in England and a Frenchman in France; our laws are absolutely- oppased to such a thing, an a,_3so. lute choice must be made. It was for that reason that was earefifi in pointing out the consequences of naturali eation. TM: CHARTIST LEADERS OUT OF WOP.K. a meeting of the Convention, they seemed to have hi tleelse to do but to abuse the press. Mr. Coffey, however, gave another turn to the proceedings, and tallit.a such nonsense. as the following : " He thought they had been wasting a great deal of time in talking about the press ; if the editor of any paper had libelled them, why not order him to the bar Of that hall, the same as it was done in another house ?—(Ltiughter.)

THE. BISHOP OF EXETER AND THE REV. MR. FIIORti. —A public meeting was held on Friday, in Exeter Hall, to hear from the Rev. J. Shore, of Berry Pomero;•, a nar rative of the proceedings tat:en against him by his dioce san, the Bishop of Exeter. The spacious hall was densely crowded in every part. On the platform were, the Hon. Arthur Kin nair&l, the Revs. Thomas Mortimer, T. Bin ney, Ebenezer Davis, Dr. 3.forison, Dr. A. Thomson.—Anslie. James Sherman, Dr. Henderson, Dr. Cook Evans, Dr. Jenkyn, Dr. Massie, Rev: J. Bakewell, J. Thomson, Watson, J. Smith, and about 200 other ministers and gentlemen. The Hon. A. Kinne.ird occupied the (-hair : and the meeting was addressed at- considerable length by Mr. Shore, and by - several other reverend gentlemen. The circumstances of the ca4e, between the Bishop (1 Exe ter and the Rev. Mr. Shore, which occupied exchti:vely the attention of the meeting, are already familiar to our readers. Several resolutions were adopted; and - also a petition to 'Parliament, praying for such alterations of the !.IW as would prevent any recurrence cf such a cour!e as that followed M• the bishop on this octagon. The chair man in the (Tune of the proceedings read a letter from the Bishop of London, to the Hon, and Rev. B. Noel, forbieleing him to attend. LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. FRANCE. The Paris papers of Sunday contain several articles which prove the existing and hourly increased alarm for the impending elections. A very 'threatening demonstration was in preparation at the hour of post. The trades were assembling in the Champ de Mars, ostensibly to elect officers for the National Guard from their own body, although it was notorious that the elec tion of officers had closed. Some of their banners bore significantly menacing mottos; one of them was " No more trading of one man in the labour of another." _ Seizures of arms were made on Thursday in various parts of Paris. The Archbishop of Paris has authorised a collection in all the churches of his diocese, on Friday, in favour of the wives and children of the Poles who had left France to re-conquer the independence of Poland. ITALY. An official bulletin, dated Milan, April 9th, announces that on the previous day the Piedmontese troops attacked the Austrians in the vicinity of the bridge of Goito, and that after a sharp action, which lasted two hours, the Piedmontese made themselves masters of the position, and captured four pieces of artillery and 2,000 prisoners. The publication of this bulletin produced the greatest jay at Milan. As it was the first account received of serious hostilities having been commenced by the King of Sar dinia, and as the position thus successfully carried opened the passage of the Mincio and the road to V Ha Franca, the chief town on the line of communication between Verona and Mantua, a more detailed narrative was anxiously expected ; the Palace Marino was besieged by anxious inquiries, and in the course of the evening an official despatch was published, in which the agent of the Provisional Government at the head-quarters of Charles Albert gives his account of the affair. The Provisional Government has received about £BO,OOO in voluntary con tributions in the city of Milan alone, and it has called for the payment of the ordinary taxes due on the 20th of May, for the 20th of this month. We do not imagine that the sum above:named has arisen from a forced loan or from contributions exacted by fear, or that the least force will be exerted to procure the pre-payment of the imposts. Both are . given with the freest will, almost by acclamation, and more than one head of a noble house has sent in £3,000 or £4,000 as an individual subscription. The Milanese are rich, and they gladly offer a portion of their wealth for the common good. - A letter from Berne of the Bth inst. states, that the de legate of the Provisional Government of Milan at Como had demanded a passage for a column of 1,200 Austrian prisoners through the canton of Ticino which the Go vernment of the latter had granted on condition that the canton of the Grisons should likewise allow them to pass through its teritory. The Directory had instructed the Federal Council of War to prepare a report on the orga nization of the army, so that the Confederation be not taken unawares, and he constantly ready to defend, effi ciently and energetically, the neutrality and iategrity of Switzerland. It was reported at Berne that the Sardinian Minister had been directed by his Government to demand from the Vorort an army of 100,000 men, whom the king would engage in his service, to assist him in driving the Austrians out of Italy. A letter from Milan, of the Bth inst., states that on the 9th five columns- of the Lombardo-Piedmontese army were to cross the Mincio at Goilo and Volta. An expedi tion had left for Tyrol. Palmaro was occupied by the Milanese General Lucchi. Should the Piedmontese suc ceed in passing the Mincio, their intention was to join General Durando, who was advancing from Bologna with )5000 *wise and 4000 volunteers, and there would then be a force of 40,000 men operating on the _left flank of the Austrians. It was believed that an engagement would be fought on the 9th. It appears from the Bologna papers that Signor Carlo Rusconi has addressed the Pope, inviting the Holy Father to place himself at the head of a great Italian Confederacy, and to assemble a grand General Diet in Rome. The whole of -Istria is favourable to the neiv Venetian Republic, and only awaits an opportunity of declaring its sympathies. AUSTRIA. On the Bth instant another " demonstration" took. place at Vienna, which fortunately passed off with toler able tranquillity. It was the object of the mob to reta liate on the Papal Nuncio for the affront offered to the Austrian flag in Rome. The question of the compulsory celibacy of the Romish priesthood has been mooted in the Diet at Pressburg. by an ecclesiastical member. M. Kossuth replied that he was rejoiced to find the subject discussed in such quarters, and that he had received innumerable letters from the cherry, vmplaining of the prohibition. The sfatc of trade continues most unsatisfactory. The funds have again fallen, even below the former level ; some failures have taken place, and more serious disasters are anticipated. HOSTILITIES BETWEEN DENMARK AND SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. The " Ihmburm," Captain Brown, arrived at Hull from Ilamburgh on Friday. She brought letters and papers to the 11th instant. Extract from a private letter :—" Hostilities commenced between the Danes and the Schleswig-Holstein troops on Sunday, the 9th inst. A very fierce battle was fought near Flensburg, and the Danes being much stronger in number, and having a great power of cavalry and artil lery, have defeated the Schleswig-Holstein army, which has retreated towards Rendsburg. The loss of life has been very great on both sides. but the details are not known yet. The Danes have entered the city of Schles wig. A great number of students who had volunteered their snvices have been put to death without mercy by the Danish soldiers. The Prussian and Hauoverians are pouring in masses of troops to assist the Schleswickers. The Duke of Augustenburg and Prince Waldemar of Augustenburg have passed through Hamburgli and one to Rendsburg, being bearers of orders from Berlin, for the Prussian troops to advance on Schleswig." Another pri vate letter states two thomand men to have been slaugh tered on each side. 'rho forces of the Danes are said to amount to nearly 20,000 men, with fifty pieces of cannon : the men are full of zeal for their cause. If the Prussians pass out of Hol stein, the Danes will no doubt attack them. The result of. the collision sufficiently proves that all that is needed to bring this knotty question to a final set tlement is to leave the King of Denmark to settle his own affairs with his own subjects. We entertain no doubt that the sturdy little Danish army is more than a ma t c h for any force the disaffected party in the duchies can mus ter; and in the first action which has taken place the lat ter have been effectually defeated. _ _ It is generally rumoured at Hamburgh that the Prus sians are to advance against the Danes in earnest ; but it is said that the object of the Cabinet of Berlin is only to prevent the Danes from acting on the offensive until th e various governments have had an opportunity of maturely considering the question of peace and war. Affairs in llamburgli still bear the gloomiest aspect, and credit has sustained a shock from which it will not speedily recover. A telegraphic report was received from Hull on Sunday night stating that the King of Denmark has replied to the Prussian deputation that if they entered Schleswig he should declare war against Prussia. Auxiliaries have already entered Schleswig, a detach ment having been stationed at Sorgbruce. The Danish detachment stationed there, on perce►ving the Prussians, immediately ran away, leaving their arms behind them, which were taken to Konsbcrg. At Glyksburgh, on Sa turday, a skirmish took place, the 14th Cars►llion with t►wo eannon having attempted to prevent the landing of the Danes. This was successful, and the steamer Gayson was almost disabled. The Rendsburgh daily paper states that the number of Danes in the battle was B,oooinstead of 18,000. Ilambur,gh, 13th April. The early train from Ronflshurgh brings news that the Danes have again evacuated Eckerford and iCaveen, and confirms the news that the Danes had advanced into Schlegswig with 2000 men. . Copenhagen, llth April. The insurgents stationed at Ban and Kinsau, numbering about 1000 men, were attacked and compelled to abandon their po.Lition and retire to Hinson, whore a hot conflict took rlace. They suffered dreadfully from the fire of the Danes' gun-boats. They then occupied the iron-foundery in front of the town, and, tiring from the windows., did serious damage to the 6th Dragoon regiment. The gun boats then directed their firing to the building, and 0010- pelkd them to leave it, and t hose who did not fall were obliged to surrender. At half-past three o'clock the Danes entered Rends.burgh amidst general acclamation. The surrender has caused the destrit:qion of the enemy's advalml card. 714 men w: re taken prisoners and the rest lined: On the Dania!: side, by official reports, there were about 100 killed and wound Pd. The Cologne Gazelle of the 15th publishes a long ac connt of the battle at Bau, between the Danes and-the inhabitants of the two duchies, and concludes as follows : —" The duchy of Schleswig, from the Eider to Konigsan, is in the enemy's hands. The country is open to the Danes, even where they have not yet taken possession. The Duchy is no longer a field of - battle : there are none hut congnerors, fugitives, and an insulted population. The loss of human life is not yet accurately ascertained : it is said there are about 1.100 killed on both sides. The noblest families hate lost their sons and . brothers. The corps of students from Kiel, 150 young men have been altogether cut up. The number of the Prussian troops now assembled in Rendsburg is 8700. No Prussian, cavalry has as yet arrived in the duchies. Lieut. Colonel Dedes died of fever at-Gibraltar, on the ',)7th ult., and was interred with all the honours due to his rank. Five of the men under him have also fallen vic tims to the fever. PORTUGAL.-0 1 1 the ftth inst. Lisbon was perfectly tranquil. The Cortes had not then interpreted the I;:ird article of the Charter, nor had the Ministry made direct elections a cabinet question, although favourable to that system.

The Dublin Nation of Saturday is rank with sedition — its poetry is set in the same tune. The most remarkable feature, however, in the number is a letter addressed to Mr. Meagher "of the sword," by the parish priest o Borrisokane (the Rev. M... Bermingham), setting forth the " doctrine of Catholic resistance," a passage of which is, perhaps, the most instructive that has yet issued from the pen of any man professing to be a minister of the Christian religion. It opens as follows My good people, the times are eventful and porten tons ;no man knows to-day what to-morrow may' bring forth. Prepare, then, for the worst ;be not taken by surprise, and be not found defenceless. By the word ' prepare' I mean simply two things :—First, tru.ke your peace with God ; ' put your houses,' as the Seripturs has it, in order;' dispose yourselves to die. Secondly,— arm quietly, and without tumult, for your defence, when ever the day for such shall arrive. Having made these preparations, keep steady ; let nothing tempt you to a premature or partial outbreak. * * When the day of your struggle shall come, when your liberties as well as your lives shalt be invaded, then let it not be a turning out of two or three counties, but let Ire land rise to the contest as one man; and let every man, as he is about taking his position to perform this most glo rious act of his life, make a vow to the following effect % I vow, before God and my country, to lessen, if I can. by one man at least, the enemies of my native land, and to die.' When being thus prepared, and having -made the foregoing vow, you are fairly committed to the corn bat, don't show yourself to the enemy on the hill-side or on the plane; but take him from the dike, the fence, the hedgerow, from the broken bridge, or the obstructed rail way. Be sure you do all the mischief in your power—or all the good I should say, for the mischief is the good in this case—by all the means within your reach, and think not for one moment of living—' To do or die,' or - 4 to do and die,' be this your motto." Mr. John Mitchell's paper abounds, as usual, wits glowing panegyrics on the pike, the rifle, and the cold vitriol cure for her Majesty's troops. In .reply to a Kil kenny Repealer, recoiling information as to what he is to do now that sedition is made felony, Mr. Mitchell -re sponds,— " Why, get arms. If any one doubted or delayed before, let him about it quick now. Whoso intended to get a pike, let him get two or three, that he may have to lend to his poorer neighbours. Let those arm now who never armed before, and those who always armed now aria the more. We entreat Irishmen to call meet ings, to make a fire therein, to burn publicly their regis try certificates, and to sign a written pledge to procure. without delay, certain arms, to be therein specified, and ammunition befitting." Mr. Mitchell has ceased his correspondence with the " Butcher-General," and has now taken the Prime Minister to task for the part Lord John has taken to re press treason by the Bill for the Security of the Crown. Open defiance is, of course, hurled -at the measure, as a means of stifling public opinion. Alluding to the un precedented success of his own journal, he asks,— " And why has it grown so popular? Why do poor men club their pence to buy it, and- get it read to eager crowds every Saturday evening and Sunday morning ? Why?—Because it utters for them the deep and inex tinguishable hatred they all bear:in their inmost souls against the ' Crown and Government' of Britain : because it translates this holy hatred, never yet uttered, save is stifled curses and gnashing of teeth, into loud defiance, and hurls it weekly in the face of all your Viceroys, and Premiers, and Commanders-in-chief; and especially be cause it points out the way, and, the only true way, i 4 which brave men ever win freedom or bridle tyrants, and exhorts them continually to rise out of the miserable slough of moral force wherein O'Connell plunged them, and stand erect with the words of freemen on their lips, and the arms of freemen in their bands, defying law, trampling on cant, and waging open war upon humbug." That Mr. Mitchell's aspirations for a general armament are likely.to be realized is abundantly evident by the in creased demand for pikes in the metropolis, as well :As throughout the counties • of Cork, Limerick, and • the Queen's County, the following startling announcement appears in the Cork Examiner : • "A Youghal, correspondent says, that the spirit of in- , surrection is rapidly spreading in the south-east—from Youghal to Mallow, from Cappoquin to Clonmel, and that nothing is spoken of but rifles, and rifle clubs, pikes, bar ricades, &c. He mentions the meeting of a rifle club at Clay Castle, last Sunday, at which over 2000 persons were assembled. This state of things is becoming a mattes of general notoriety. The most formidable rebellion that ever shook Ireland from sea to sea is, unfortunately, at this moment, threatening the community. And the voices that could arrest it are not raised, and the words of recon ciliation and union that would brighten all the future of Ireland are not spoken. If the upper and intelligent classes will not guide and control this inevitable move ment, the masses will settle the destinies of Ireland - as they best can. Lord Falkland never sighed for peace' more earnestly than we do for 7 union.' Union of all her children would be the salvation of Ireland." The Nation mentions as a - runoliiTfl;t: Lord Shrews bury has given in his adhesion to repeal, and that Ips lordship had a long interview with Lori John Russell on the subject in the course of the week. A Dr. O'Hanlon, in a letter addressed to the Limerick li`epw-tcr, backs both reports, stating that there is no doubt of their accuracy. THE FRENCH REVOLUTION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sitt,—ln the present stata of uncertainty as to future events in France. I think the following quotation from Alison's History of Europe, chap. v, page 416—A. D. 1792, the period he was then writing about—impresses Rs with a truth that I think we may as well b., p7pared for in unhappy Franee:— " It is: not at the commencement of revolutionary dis turbances that the danger to social happiness is to be ap prehended ; but after the burst of popular fury is over, and when the successful party begin to suffer from the passions to which they owed their elevation. The 10th August did ;tot come till three years after the 14th July. The reason is evident :--In the first tumult of passion, and in the exultation of successful resistance, the people are in good humour both with themselves and their lead ers, and the new government is installed it its duties amidst the applause and hopes of their fellow citizens. But after this ebullition of triumphant feeling is over, come the sad and inevitable consequences of public con vulsion—disappointed hopes, exaggerated expectations, industry without employment, capital withaut invest meat. The public -suffering which immediately folloWn the triumph of the populace is invariably greater than that which stimulated their resistance. The ablest republican writers confess that one half of the misery which desolated France during the revolution would have overwhelmed the monarchy. The suffering is inevitable : it is the necessaiy consequence of shaken credit, invaded property, and un controlled licentiousness; but coming, as it does, in the train of splendid hopes and excited imaginations, it occa sions a discontent and acrimnny in the lower orders, which can hardly fail of producing fresh convulsions. The people are serer so rife Jbr a second revolution as shortly after they have suecessAlly achieved the first." This is an extract from one of the ablest and acutest writers of the present or any other perl•A.--Your's, &c. R. G. A FERN' TIGNITY.r. Thenreo Deere-, ',TE.---At Wednes day's meeting of the Chartist Convention, a Mr. Cuffey, one of the delegates for London, in proposing the adop tion of exclusive dealing, justified such a step by the fol lowing. little revelation of .the domestic arrangements of the Cuffey family Haviee," he said, "been out of work lately. he had allowed Mrs. Coffey to go out wash ing (much laughter) ; and at one of the houses where she had been in the habit of cleaning, she was asked whether she was the wife of Ctiffev of the convention. She said she was ; and the was then inforeted that her services would not be required again." Of course the honourable members cried loudly " shame!" at this cruel treatment of the lady of the metropolitan rcpresents'ive. The ate rangement was altogether so comfortable for " Cuffey of the Convention "—for his wife to wash and :dear starch ehilst he indulged his fondness for spouting seditione— that his fellow-labourers in the sacred cause of disorder no doubt sympathized with the deprivation which he must suffer from its being broken up. Was " Coffey of the Convention " to be thus driven to work for his living Iffy other common fellows ? " Whilst in the land of li berty over the water, every man is free to " wallop his 0704 nigger," Was " Cuffey of the Convention " to be pre vented consigning his ou'n'xile to the Wash-tub and the scouring-brush ? "in the name of the Clarter, No ! " would doubtless he the answer of the majority of the ill used patriot's fellow delegates. Mrs. Cuff 'y herself, how ever,—and there are doubtless amongst the wives of these fellows many of the Mrs. Cuffey sort, who are condemned to toil at home wl;ilst their husbands idle and brawl abroad —would, we are inclined to think, say " Yes . " to the que.stion. ClirrPX, THE METROPOLITAN CHARTIST MEMBER, AGAIN ! — Poor " Cuffq of tine Convention" is, we find, a victim in every respect. Besides the fact of his wife being driven from the wash-tub fn Cuffay's Clertiee, it seems that Currey himself is an ugly little dog, and is eerseeuted as most ugly dogs are. We quote from the Times report of Thursday's eonvent "Mr. Coffey (London) said that becse•se he was an ugly little old man he w;:s despised by sf - t:ye of Lis fric‘r.ds'of the middle classes, whom he met every evening at " Old Horse.'
