DEATH' ram. ViOLENCE:. An investigation has
lately been concluded at the Coroner's Court, relative
to the death of Mary Brown, of 10, Gildait's-gardens.
The particulars.of this case, whieh is of rather 3 mys-
terious character, are briefly as follows :—The 'decease&
had possessedlgood health until the Saturday before-she
died, when she complainedlof an illness, which continued
to increase till Tuesday, when she exhibited several
bruises on different parts of her body. The bruises,
however she did not account for until a few hours
before lie, death, when she declared to several persons
that a woman named Helen Macbeth had infl4cted the
injuries. Dr. AckerlPy was called, and he declared the
cause of'death to be- disease of the pleura, occasioned, in
somedegree, by external violence. The jury, after a'
lengthened investigation, found that the deceased died

from violence, but considered there was no evidence to
implicate Helen'Macbeth.

HOPE HALL LECTURES.—The first of a course of lec-
tures at this Hall was delivered last night, by. the Rev.
W. Landels, of Lcndon, on "The foimaiation and source

of true greatness.

sley, ct

introducing the lecturer, said he believed that both the
lecturer and the subject were the most appropriate that
could have been chosen for an opening lecture ; and he

had no doubt the audience, after.hearing the lecture,
would entirely coincide with his opinion. The lecturer
then proceeded with his discourse,, in which he clearly
demonstrated that in religion alone could real greatness
exist. Man might be physically strong, he might be
enslaved, and with mental energies of giant strength ;
but if his soul and spiritual energies were not raised and
enlightened by coMmunion with God; he could not be
considered really great. The lecturer proceeded for up-
wards of two hours to animadvert upon his subject ; and
notwithstandiu the extreme length to which he ex-
tended his remarks, was listened to with great attention
by the large and respectable audience who attended.—
The second lecture of the present course is to be deli-
vered on,Tuesday next, by the Rev. Robt. Maguire, on
the " Historical, scientific, moral, and spiritual lessons
derived from the construction of a watch."
