DEATEI Or THE °TORRE DON.—The decease of
the Right Hon. Dennis O'Conor, commonly called " the
(Mono, Don," one of her Majesty's Lords of the Treesury,
occurred yesterday morning at seven o'clock, et his resideace,
81, Pall-mall. The deceased was born in 1794, so that he
was in his fifty-third year. In 1824 be wee married I. Mary
Ann, daughter of Major Blake, since doomed. He occupied
a seat in the House of Commoos, as representative of the
county of Roscommon, since 1831, 6o that he was sixteen
years a member of the British parliament. As a politician the
O'Conor Don was a liberal and a repealer ; as a Roman catho-
lic he was an advocate for a more generalised system of
church endowment , as a philanthropist he was solicitous for
the removal of the more rigorous enactments from our efilai-
nil jurisprudence. The O'Cooor Don was regarded as the
chief of the ancient family of the O'Conors„ as his title
indicated.

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.
A meeting of the Middlesex magistracy was held
yesterday, Mr. Pownall was re elected as chairman of the
court for the ensuing year.
A FRINCH CRIXINAL Lumane.—Appended to the report
of the Westminster House of Correction, was a correspon-
dence to the following effect, between the chairman of the
justices and the Homeoffice, in reference to • Frenchman
now in the House of Correction under sentence of imprison-
ment. The first letter informed Sir G. Grey that Peter
Tesside was convicted of an assault at the lot April sessions
for this county, and sentenced to two months' imprisonment,
and to be then discharged on entering into his own rreog-
nisanees. " Since his confinement in this prison, he has
evinced strong symptoms of insanity, and I now forward to
you • certificate declaring him a dangerous lunatic." Inqui-
ries had been instituted, and it was found that Peter Tesaide
is a native of France; and it was learned of M. Vouillon,
of Stratford-place, the director of a charitable institu-
tion for the relief of Frenchmen in distress, and
under the immediate patronage of the French go-
vernment, that Peter Tesside, not long ago, threatened
to take M. Vouillon's life, because that gentleman de-
clined to grant Lim a settled annuity, instead of affording
him occasional relief, and upon examination a loaded pistol
was found on his person. M. Vouilloa states that after this
occurrence he applied to the French ambassador to send
Tesside to France, but, owing to his possessing no French
passport to this country, the application was refined. Tenide
having no passport is thus accounted for: about the pe-iod
of the last attempt on the life of the King of the French.
Tesside wee found in the Chateau d'Eu, scarcely covered
with clothing, but armed with a loaded pistol. After exarai
nation before the French authorities, he was sent in charge
of an officer to Calais, and thence transported to England,
and left without a passport. It is believed that Maide has
been more than once an inmate of a lunatic asylum in
Francs—The visiting justices considered this case, especially
with reference to Tesside's transportation to England, of mit-
, ficient importance to cell the attention of the Home-office to
it. A reply was received from Sir o.f:hey, stating that an ar-
rangement has met the sanction of her Majesty's government
and has been proposed to the French government for main-
taining at the expense of the epuntries to which they belong
French pauper lunatics in England, and English pauper
lunatic, in Frerce ; and anticipating that such arrangement
will be carried into effect, Sir G. Grey bad taken measures
for communicating with the French ambassador at this court
with a view of a provision being made by the French govern-
ment for the maintenance of Peter Tesside in the lunatic
asylum of the county of Middlesex, to which asylum Sir G.
Grey would issue a warrant for the removal of the lunatic as
soon as the arrangements for his maintenancewere completed.

INQUEST. YESTERDAY. SUICIDE FROM A
Steam ea.—Mr. J. Payne resumed and concluded an inquiry,
at the Green Man Tavern, Darkhouse-lane, Billingsgate, on
the body of Frances Bedwell, aged 19, lately residing at 8,
Swan-lane, Thames-street, who committed suicide on the
. evening of Sunday week, at Sonthwark-bridge, off the
Fairy, a Woolwich steamer.—George Barret deposed, that
on Sunday week he was on board the steamer, and when the
vessel had parsed Southwarkhridge, deceased, who was
standing near the starboard paddle-box, suddenly sprung off
into the water. There were three other females by her at
the time, who gave the alarm, and the vessel backed astern
immediately, and did everything to save her, but with-
out suecess.—Richard Anemic, captain of the Fairy,
stated that he was on the starboard paddle-box at the
time of the occurrence, and in answer to questions
put respectively by the coroner and jury said, there were
about 150 passengers on board at the time, several having
slighted at London-bridge. The Fairy could hold 400. The
joint testimony of other witnesses proved that deceased lied
been engaged to a young man, end was. to have been married
on the Sunday previously to her desaviction, but which was
prevented by the interference of her friends, who disapproved
I of the match, and on the morning of her death she had some
words with her sister, with whom she wee staying, and this
is supposed to have preyed on her mind, which, coupled with
bar disappointment in marriage, are considered to have led
to an inducement to commit so rash an set. Deceased on
leaving homestarted for Woolwich on a visit to another
sister. Attar much evidence as to the state of deceased's
mind the jury returned a verdict of ° Temporary insanity."

THIRD REPORT FROM THE SELECT COM-
MITTEE ON SITES FOR CHURCHES (SCOTLAND).
We lay before oar readers the third, and, we
presume, Seal report of this committee. The evidence
printed along with it folly beers out that published along
with the two preceding reports. It throws a light upon the
views entertuned of the relations between landlord and
tenant by Highland lairds and Highland futon that possesses
an interest quite independent of the free-church con-
troversy, and which it is most desirable should be sub-
cted to the rebuke of free English opinion. Of that
hhereafter. At present we leave the report to speak for
itself, merely remarking that of nineteen witnesses whose
evidence is appended to it seven are aalietaa 01 the free
church, one an elder of that body, two esedlisel gentlemen
called to prove that the health of inalvidaals lad loom

dangered by the refusal of sites, two laealpassd brdlards,
and a son and three factors of inculpitecl landlords, OM a
