body of Miss Harriet Leet. It will be recollected that As
inquest was adjourned chiedy for the porpose of having the
attendance of WlLay, to whom she had become so greedy
attached, that notwithstanding his alleged cruelty she had,
even up to the day prior to her commiwion of suicide, de-
clared to all her friends that she would never be happy until
she became united to him. This person, however, did not
appear. A few minutes previous to deceased's death, which
took place within half an hour after she had taken a draught
of oxalic acid, she expressed her sorrow in the most rational
manner, which circumstance, coupled with her calm and
collected manner at the time of purchasieg the mixture, gave
rise to considerable discussion amongst the 'my in the deal.
don of their verdict. Sewall of the jurors thought that the
only verdict they could come to was that of " Felo-dese,"
inasmuch as there was not the slightest evident* to prove
the deceased's insanity, even up to the moment of her death.
—The Coroner said there could be no doubt hut that the de-
ceased took the poison herself, and if so, it would be only
reasonable to presume that she was not in a sane state at the
time she did so.—After a protracted discussion upon the
point, the fullovring verdict was recorded : " That deceased
died from the effects of oxalic acid, taken by herself when in
a state of temporary insanity."

SUDDEN DEATH AT A BATTUE.—Lord Berner'

a state of alarm, by the sudden demise of one of his lord-
ship'. visitors. a gentleman named Margetson, of Ditching-
ham Hall. The party had not proceeded far when Mr.
Idargetsou's companions walked too fast for him, and imme-
diately he fell down a corpse. The deceased was about sixty-
five years of age, and has left a family.

PROCEEDINGS THIS DAY.

MANDLYOL—THE BISHOP or Hausman.—The inteMet I
which the public has taken in this case remains unabated.
On the opening of the court this morning, every available
seat was immediately occupied.
On the judges taking their seats,
Mr. Baddely said that he had received a note from Sir F.
Kelly, stating he was suddenly taken unwell, and would not
I be able to attend court that day, but would do so to-morrow
if he was able to more. Neither was Dr. Addams, who did
not expect to be called on to 'dares the court till late in the
day. In their essence he hoped the court would allow the
cam to stand over.
Lord Denman said the court would hear the counsel on the
other side.
Mr. Hill then, in continuation of his argument, com-
menced by calling the attention of the court to the bth sec-
tion of the 25th of Henry VIII , which required and com-
manded the archbishop to confirm, invert, and consecrate
the bishop elect, and to use all such benedictions and ceremo-
nies as were necessary. It was said that this recognised
that the archbishop was to do everything necessary for coa-
lfinnation ; and it was inferred that the matters specified
were mattes of substance and not of form. But the words
used, namely, " benedictions" and " ceremonies," showed
that they scald have no reference as to controversy of his
title. lii would cent proceed to the 7th section, which sub-
jected the archbishop to the penalties of a primacies if he

The elections for the three vacant sesta for Paris,
now in progress, naturally engross a large share of
attention to-day. The builders end the army of

a little more than 12,000 votes the following is the
distribution :

The general aspect of the capital has for the last
two days and nights presented mere alarming appear-
ances than has been observed since the days of Jane.
Secret societies are known to have been organised 'on a
most extensive scale, and to have spread their agents
every win re over the capital. Innunterahle groups were
seen assembled on Saturday night and yesterday an
all toe most public thoroughfares and promenades,
'end were addressed by orators in the most violent ha-
rangues. The capital was patrolled by strong par-
ties of horse sad foot durinx the night, and no ass- '
sure of precanyon was neglected for the mainterame
of order. It is said that the secret societies base or-
ganised plans for another insurrection in oertaia mow
tualities. The clubs have reenn s timed the it spew

The share market, which for oldeflin;s wit rather
more favourable in the morning, fell off in the after
part of the day. Some of the small supplementary
shares of leading lines were freely brought to sale,
and depressed in marketable value accordingly. The
complication of all sorts of these shares, such u
quarters, fifths, preference shares, and debentures, pre-
mien' to be a fruitful source of embarrassment to van-

ALARMING ACCOUNTS FROM VIENNA.

Since the receipt of intelligence which will be
found in another page, we have a letter from Vienna,
written late in the afternoon of the 13th, at which
hour the most serious apprehensions were entertained
far the safety of the Austrian capital. Our corres-
pondentsays " The rioters have renewed their attaoks,
and that the streets are filled with people. The
Hungarians, republicans and legitimists, are
said to be each dietributing money, in the hope
of gaining ground by a general rising. The national
guards are mustering; 25,000 men have already as-
sembled; they promise to guarantee order. The
Minister of War has declared that he will no longer
restrain the military, who are furious. The Univer-
sity is presehiag the overthrow of the ministry, and
calling spoor the people to arm. A republic is every-
where talked of. Tbs National Amembly is en per-

LITERATURE.
Presbytery lizassiswd. By the Duke of ARGYLL.
The history of the house of Argyll and the history
of Scottish Presbytery are inextricably interwoven
with each other. The noble author of the volume now
before us has brought to the. task of a ratiocinative
exposition of the history and principles of his native
church a candid and well-balanced judgment and a
liberal habit of thought akin to that which character-
ised his martyred ancestor :
I have beg hit (writes the author of this Bray) that
many of the hams is which Prubytezians have been wont te

RITNOLDS'S BAIIIERUPTUT.—JUDOMINT.—The com-
missioner had appointed one o'clock to-day for giving judg-
ment on the bankrupt's application for hie certificate. He
laid: In reviewing the cirmenstances of this case, I must
first advert to the number of occasions on which this party
has been either bankrupt or insolvent. In 1836, in France,
he makes a cession de hiens, and pays' dividend of 6s. Bd. in
the pound. Afterwards, in consequence of his liabilities
contracted there, he comes before the Insolvent Debtor.'
Court in this country, I think, in 1839. The fiat which is
now in course or prosecution agaillit him, on his own peti-
tion, he his second bankruptcy in this court, and there were
no assets under the first. Without inquiring into the causes
of the bankrupt's former difficulties, I cannot come to the
easurlasion that his preeeot position has arisen from the
trends or looses of others, or from misfortunes unavoidable
by ordinary prudence. The world seldom turns wholly
against a men. except by his own fault; end
it must sot be supposed that, because we have
bankrupt and insolvent laws, the obligations of
debton, or the rights of creditors, are to be diminished or
relaxed, except in cases of misfortune. But when I see a
person in the situation of the present bankrupt,
talents which enable him to secure, es he himself has

With the general state of the law so repeatedly
and authentically declared as the foregoing extracts
and references establish, we ma-t decline to give the
bi,hope, the deans and chapter of Durham, or
such of the parochial clergy u were interested
'in it, credit for ignorance that in allowing
mines under church lands to be worked for their own
benefit they were committing waste. It is indeed
within the range of our own knowledge, that, at beet,
some of the present incumbents were fully Warmed
of the state of the law. And it is commonly reported
that Archdeacon and Prebendary THORPE, MISER a
great offender, not many yeses ago inquired of a mime
delinquent by what authority he had leased the coals
under his glebe, and that the reply was mach as pm.
vented any rejoinder from the pluralist.
But the Durham clergy have not the: excuse of ig-
norance now, at all events : they are now aware of
the waste they are committing ; they now know that
ever', penny they pocket from wetb worked under
church lands is an illegal alienation of the church's
property by the church's priest. Under such circum-
stances we shall be glad to be told how the Bishop,
the Dean and Chapter, and the other clergy concerned
are going to act.

IRELAND.

Desnor, Oar. 2.
Whoever should gloms over the Irish provincial
journals of this morning's arrival would never
imagine from any record they afford that this was a
country in which a great social revolution was in
progress, and a physical revolution so recently re-
pressed. The newspapers from the south contain not
a single item of intelligence or an incident indicating
anything of the social condition of the country. Pri-
vate accounts, however, all concur in stating that the
food prssrpects of the country are in a much mare
promising condition than, one month since, we could
have any reason to in spite of the disastrous
failure of the potatoes. The oat crop will be saved in
gond condition. The recent weather for weeks has
been most favourable to harvesting operations, and
the ripening of the unyellowed grain has progressed
as well as the husbandman could wish.

The Freeman's Jours4al revives to-day tho state-
ment that Mr. O'Brien's counsel will endeavour to
excuse Mr. O'Brien's acts upon the plea of example
set him by certain of Lord John Russell's late and
present colleagues at the period of the Reform Bill.
For this purpose it is announced that Major-Oec.
Napier, Mr. Joseph Parkes, and the private secretary
of Lord Melbourne will be examined—the one to prove
be was urged to head an army to London, and the
others to speak to the councils in which tha• course
was suggested. What result may arise from this
course I cannot conjecture, but that it will be taken I
think there is no doubt. The result of the writ of
error seems to be reps ded by Mr. O'Brien's friends
with confident hopefulness.

The Debate of Sunday says Some of our con-
temporaries yesterday publishid the following extract from
the Times Our correspondent at Buenos Ayres sends as
important news. Rosas has not only refused to receive Mr.
Hood as Consul General from England, but ha said that M
will reeafinise no British sent until England has paid fivesul•
lions of titres as indemnity Ibr the war and for gain
from Paraguay and the Malouines Islands. Roses desires fa*
thee to prevent all communication between the Argentine Tv
public and the English and French ships of war.' This neri
which comes under date July 29, and by way of Rio Janeiro.
needs correction and commentary. The urrespondeut of
the Times, speaking of guano taken from Paraguay, meant
to say, from the coast of Patagonia. Paraguay, who*
guano is not found, is situated by the 28th degree of south
wtitude, and in the interior of the American continent,
hile the lnalouines or Falkland islands and the coast of
Patagonia, which front them, are situated by the 53rd

STABBING.—A MOTHER STABBED BY HER SON.—
At the Boy ugh. Court, Ma-cheater, a young carpenter oamed
Edward Corbett was brought before the magistrates charred
with stabbing his mother, Sarah Corbett, and a juner tamed
William Plumb. The offence wit: committed on Sunday,
the 19th uh. The prisoner's mother lived in adultery with
Plumb, according to the stay meut made is cow t, and come
of the prisoner's shoontatee having taunted him with the
matter, he went to N icholaastre et, where they lived, in a state
of drunkenness late at night, and knocked at the door. The
mother came down and let him in, when he took out a knife
and stabbed her repeatedly al oat the arras and upper part of
the body. He torn rushed up stairs and nabbed Plumb in a
similar manner. Both his mother and Plumb were removed
to the Royal Infirmary. The mother is seriously injured,
and not likely to recover, and under that impression
her depositions have !leen privately- taken by a magistrate at
the infirmary. Plumb was stifLiently recovered to appear
at the B roueli court yesterday, and upon his depositions,
cirrobotated by those of the mother, the prisoner was com-
mitted to Kirkdale prison, for trial at the next assists.
CULTIVATION OF COTTON IN INDIA.—The ups&
meats which have been making in Manchester by the s..ont-
mercial Association, during the past week, under the
superintendence ,f Dr. Hoyle, to test the small cottage gin
proposed to be gent out among the small cultivators of cotton
in India, chow the following results as contrasted with the
large hand g'n and the chucks, at present in use there.
The cottage gin, made of iron, is found to el. an 20Ibs. par
man per hour; made of woad it turns out 171 he per
man per hour. The average quantity cleaned by the large
hand gins of India pre man per hour is only 101bs. and a
fraction, and the chucks, cleans only 3lba. This result is de-
cidedly more favourable than that detailed by the chairman
of the late meeting, and noticed in this yaw of Friday last,
a fact which we are told is owing to a further improvement
in the machine. The saving in cost would be in proportion.

NAPLES.—Adviom from Naples have been re-
ceived to the 24th ult. It appears that the King, after
first accepting the proposed intervention of England
and France, and consenting to a suspension of hosti-
lities, subsequently retracted, and at the departure of
the last letters the resumption of hastiUties wu
hourly apprehended. Daring ten days the formal
acceptation of the intervention wu regarded as spa
accompli. The retractation, therefore, produced the
most painful apprehensions. Formal and explicit
inetructioes had arrived with Admiral Blain, who
had recovered from his indisposition, and raised his
flag on board the Friedland. Orders were, it is said,
issued by the Ki of Naples for the immediate re-
commencement of • but no direct act of hos-
tility had yet takes pines.

LITERATURE.

Italy in the Nineteenth Century. erntrast.d with its past
condition. By JAM L. Vi MITESIDIS,
The title of this book is a promising one. The gnat
European movement at which all men are now gazing,
some in terror, others iu hope, Laving received its
first impulse from Rome, it must be deeply interesting
to study, in any authentic account, the condition of
Italian affairs at the da•e of Gregory's eesth, and to
trace their connexion with the immense changes that
have coctirrtd throughout the continent since the
elevation of his successor. Many will have taken up
Mr. Whiteside's volumes 4. ith more than usual ex-
pectations—remembering the distinguished part he
played in Iri•h political trials a few years since,
and the nearly unanimous consent with which
his rnetotical displays en that occasion were
declared to have surpassed all others in the
defence of O'Connell and his companions. The
book, however, will be apt to disappoint such rapt c-
tationa. It dots not redeem the promise of the title
page, and its contents prove that a man may be a v.•ry
elopent speaker, and ytt scarcely rise in written cern-
potation above the level of mediocrity, whether in
expression, arrangement of matter, or thought.

FARIS, MONDAY. 11.30 am.
The effect produced on the public mind by the
socialist banquets, which take place from day to day
in the capital and the dem:aliments, and more espe-
cially by the repetition of the terrible word " Guil-
lotine," with which the parties endeavour to fami-
liarise the public ear, begins to be serious. The
Juurnal des Dtbats, which is remarkable for its
moderation on all subjects, and its freedom from all
spirit of exaggeration, gives to-day an article on this
subject, and having also reference to the scene which
took place on Saturday in the Assembly.
The Munileur, which is under the control of the
Ministry of the lotrrior, notices in the following man.
ntr the horrible orgies of Toulouse, which were the
immediate occasion of the scene which took place in
the Assembly on Saturday
On the 220 d of tis month the Prefect of the Haute cft.

4,000 persons were present. Everywhere the mat maMt
mow acclamations saluted the authnides sad our young
Republic. The met perfect order did not case to reign
during this day amongst an immense assemblage of ista.
bitants. ALL assembled with ace mamma and patristic object
which exemplified itself by cries of " Vire la Ropubtique."
Such is the manner in which the oficial journal
speaks of the manifestation which the general in com-
mand of the district was forbidden to sanction by
his presence, by the telegraph, and by the express
order of General Cavaignac.
The committee on the constitution decided yester-
day by a majority of 10 to 4, that the President
should be elected by universal suffrage.
During yesterday mach movement was observable
in the palace of the Assembly, although being Sun-
day, there was no scdanoe. Conferens of represen-
tatives were held at the hotel of the presidency and at
that of Gen. Cavaignac.
In all public places, during the afternoon and the
evening, groups were seen collected and holding
animated discussions on the scene which took place
in the Assembly on Saturday. A cabinet council
was held at noon at the hotel of Ostlers' Cavaignac.
The report of the resignation of M. Senard is still
circulated and believed this morning.
M. Mario, Minister of Justice, is reported to have
decided on dismiriing the procureur-gsnerele who
attended the banquet at Toulouse.

Patria of Florence, of the 18th, states that
tranquillity, which was for a abort time disturbed at
Laces, has been since yesterday quite restored. The
authorities, the Oonfalonier, the members of the mu-
nicipal council, and all good citizens have, by their
assistance, pat a stop to the disorder, which might
have been grave. The civic guard hu again occupied
the posts and barracks which they had abandoned to
the rioters, and organised a service of patrols.
The Duke of Tummy has issued an address to the
civic guard assembled at Pin, in which, utter thank-
ing then for their aid, and complimenting then on
their patriotism, he authorises them to rams to their
homes, as asks at Leghorn had been so arranged as
not to require their father services.
The antempormee. of Rome of the 18th says : It is
reported that the new ministry will be thus °averred:
Road, Interior, and ad interim Finances; the Duke
de 'lima, Polk Works, Commerce, and ad interim
