CHARLES X. has made his first address to the French
Chambers. With the characteristic indecorum of the
moat polite people on earth, the Royal Speech was twice
interrupted with acclamations, once when the Ki NO spoke
of himself, and again when he alluded to his son. Ilia
Most Christian MAJESTY announces that the most friendly
relations prevail between the Governments of Europe;
and lie adds, that " the spirit of conciliation and prudence
which animates them, gives the strongest guarantee" that
the general peace will be of long duration. Este per pettier !
say we. With respect to Spain, the King of FRANCA
informs us that he has " ce,naented to protract the stay of a
part of his troops," and that a " recent convention has
regulated the conditions of this temporary measure." We
freely forgive his 111.43Lstry for boasting, as a father,
that the DAUPHIN'► campaign was "glorious." Wiser
men have, by paternal affection, been led into grosser
errors than even to style a campaign "glorious," which
was successful merely in consequence of the cowardice
and treachery of the enemy's Generals. The stages
of the Duke of A ?scours is l.'s conquest of degenerate Spain
are marked, not by the victories he gained in the field,—
fur not a battle was fought,—but by the scandalous and
mercenary capitulations he concluded successively with
Allal• Motor! o, and BALLAETEROS. The revolu-

age, have lately been dismissed frem active service, bad,

CORONER'S INQUEST.

Yesterday an inquisition was held at the Duke of Sussex, irr
Gibsometreet, Lambeth, before Cita,' Las Jamie/err, Esq. on
the body of Mr. Joseph Baxter, aged 54, who pit a period to his
existence by hanging himself.
It appeared from the evidence that the deceased had been
married to his present wife several years, during which period they
lived very unhaopilv together, ani were continually qtranciling.
The deceased was of a most jealous disposition ; he always doubted
his wife's fidelity towards him, and the consequence was, they had
agreed to part. A written document to that effect had been drawn
up, and the furniture was to be divided. On the paper being pro-
duced to deceased to sign, he, however, refused, and on that even-
ing, Wednesday. be went into his bed-room, where be hung
himself. 'The doer was fastened hum the inside, which. on being
forced open, the deceased was discovered suspended by a rope fixed
to a hinge of the door ; he was instantly cut down, but was quite
dead.

A witness, named Johnson, said she bed been on intimate term,
with the deceased and his wife for ten week' mist, daring the time
they resided in Robert't-place ; he wai very !ealtia of her, Alt h,o.:git
she was a very hard working woman, and neither of them were'
addicted to drinking, yet continual quarrels ensued. They were iu
sale' circumstances.
The Jury, from the above evidence, returned a verdict, '• That
deceased hung himself in a tit insanity, occasional by jealousy."

One of those rare birds, the silk-tail (barterer
garrulus), was caught a few days ago in the neighbourhood'
of Melville. This is one of the most beautiful of our oc-
casional visitants from the Arctic Circle. and has 1)ml, sect,
in Britain only at long intervals. The ptescnrone en! re-
sponded very exactly with Dewick's description, mid had
on each wing six of those fiat vermilion-coloured liortn
appendages, which form so peculiar a characteristic of tilt
bird; when caught it appeared much exhausted, and on
being put into a dark cage are a few of the haws of the ever-
green them, rejecting the scads. but died in the course or

CASE OF POISONING.

An Inquest was on Friday held at the Town Ball, fiber-
borne, on the body of N. It. Edwards, a young man, aged
about 22, who met his death at the residence of his bro-
ther, a respectable seedsman and corn-factor of that town,
on the previous day, under the following circumstances,
which were detailed in evidence:—
It appeared that he had been for some time taking medi-
I dile, but was not under the care of any medical man ; gni
' on the morning referred to, about eight o'clock, he request-
ed his sister to give him some brandy, into which he threw
I some powder, which he took from his pocket, and imme-
diately drank it. Soon after he exclaimed that he thought
he was poisoned, and requested medical assistance might
be sent for. He then went to his bedroom, and was seized
with a violent vomiting, in the intervals of which he stated
to a neighbour, who had rendered her assistance, that he
had taken three drachms of sublimate of mercury, adding,
that he did not think it would have made him so ill. Ile
continued to express his anxious desire for medical assist-
ance, and requested that the surgeons might be told the
nature of the mixture he had taken, if he should be unable
to speak when they arrived. Unfortunately the gentleman
who was sent for in the first instance was not made ac-
' quainted with the urgent nature of the case, so that it was
nearly an hour before any remedies were administered, by
which time the activity of the poison had prevailed beyond
the power of any antitode, and he died in the course of
four hours.
It is remarkable that to all inquiries as to the person
from whom he procured the drug he remained perfectly
silent, or declared his resolution not to tell ; and to one Of
the surgeons he stated that he knew it was poisonous. In
his pocket was found a paper containing three prescrip-
tions, one of which was in these terms :—" Three drams
of sublimate of mercre to be taken in a glass of brandy."
The druggists in the town were examined, and convinced
the Inquest that the poison was not supplied by either of
them. - _

After a short deliberation, the Jury returned a verdict—
" That the deceased died from the effect of sublimate of
mercury, injudiciously taken without medical advice."
There cannot be a doubt, we imagine, that the death of
this unfortunate young man is to be imputed to some ig-
norant and presumptuous pretender to medical science;
and though, in the present instance, there was no clue by
which the Jury could discover him, it may not be amiss
to advertise him, and others who, like him, tamper with
the lives of their fellow-creatures, that in case of a fatal
result, such as this, they incur the danger of an indictment
for manslaughter ; and it is not difficult to guess the deter-
mination of a Judge in use of a conviction.—Dorset
County Chronicle.

sail were seen cruising between Durazzo and Va/lona. This circum-

unfounded, for the musdron, though it sent armed boats to visit the

that it went to Patron to convey succour to the Turks.

Queen-street, respectfully submit for Sale a very superior
kind of Hat, manufactured of such materials WI to merit the appro-
bation and patronage of the Public. Its peculiar qualities free it
from the effects incident to change of weather or climate, the

point has never been before attained. The shapes to which H. F.
and Co. have fur a long period given their particular attention,
and spared no expense, are of the most elegant and fashionable
kind; 21a. to 214.

The result of many years' experience, the extensive adoption
and the many flattering testinionills of the most respectable
Gentlemen in the kingdom, warrant the Patentees' declaring, that
for durability, beautiful appearance, comfort in wear, and economy,
their Hats stand unrivalled.
11. F. and rn. have fully succeeded in rendering the LATELY
INVENTED SILK lIATS more elastic, light and pleasant to
the Head. They are free from any disagreeable smell, and will not
in the %lightest degree spot with rain. The colour, though of supe.
rior brilliancy, Is unchangeable in any climate. Price His. and Itts.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

a—Tbk trial of Ttidften-ialt length at an end, and
this day will witness his execution. The last awful hour
of human suffering never fails to extinguish the force of
Fejudice, and to leave the mind, of course, open to the,
influence of its better feelings, and in a frame fitted for
Mal, reflective, and unbiassed investigation. Now that
tholdlift6al excitement created by the daily press has
puma away, I cannot help suggesting, that any man of
value judgment and sound diterimination, combined with
with habits of legal inquiry as fit him for the task, would
perform a most valuable, ss well u tt moat interesting duty,
in collating the evidence upon this trial, ihd keeping per-
petually before him the relation, character, interest, and
peculiar condition of the witnesses against John Thurtell,
and devekpe their bearing upon the whdle facts of the
ere, with a view •of detennintsg as te whether there is
'actual and conclusive proof of his guilt. The majority art
not apt, in 1, to examine with much care into the
foundation of their opinion, whether of guilt or innocence.
Few have the inclination, and fewer still the leisure to do
this. Whoever should undertake this task, and evince
himself ably qualified for it, would perform, in the pre-
sent instance, a most acceptable service.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.
