The first witness, Robert Lees, the tither of the deceased,
was then called awl examined. Tioe next witness was gra.
Hannah Lees, the wife of the forwSeivosstd the mother in-law
ut the deceased. Elizabeth Ireland, mho laid out 11w body,
was then swim,. Mr. Earnshaw, a siirgeon, was the next
person called; but be said that he belonged to the Society
of Friends, and he refused to talc an oath. In consequence,
Ilia list' could not be received. Mr. Willi4m Ilasnett,
a medical gentleman, who, at the request of Mr. Harmer,
examined the body the day after the death, was the neat
witness. Mr. John Cu; a surgeon, was then called ; his Or-
aminat ion lasted a lung time. James Clegg, a spinster, who
worked no the sante factory with the deceased, was the next
witness. Then came Thomas Whittaker, a cottinovitioner,
who lived with Ruht. Lees, to whom his mother was married.
These are the names of the witnesses up to this moment.
About four o'clock Mr. Harmer asked the Coroner to have
the goodness to say at what hour he meant to adjourn the
Court. Mr. Ferranil said, that he wished so get through the
inquiry as soon as possible, and therefore he had uo intention
at present of proposing, au adjourninent. It will be impos-
sible, however, to finish the business to-night; it must last
at least another whole day.
I have taken the evidence verbatim, and 1 now transmit it
to you up to this hour. I should mention, perhaps, that the
Court has beeu extremely crowded all day. Mr. Harmer
and Mr. Denison (the solicitors), Sir Charles Wulselsy, Mr.
Worrier, and Mr. Moorhouse are here. Several questions
have been put to the witnesses by the Jury, and by Mr.
Harmer. The public anxiety is very great.
As I passed along from Manchester to Oldham this morn-
ing, the whole inhabitants of the villages between these
places, men, women, and chiller,,, came out of their houses,
and looked into my chaise to see who I was. This, I under-
stood was the case with every chaise that followed. When
I arrived at Oldham, I found a great crow.l round the An-
gel, where the Inquest was to be held. Shortly afterwards,
the following printed bill was rusted at the front of the
house :

" CAUTIO?i.

"The Public, and particularly the reins& of Reform,
are requested to abstain from over-crowding this town to-
day, or from exhibitioz flays, Inizzainz, slututing, or mak-

thee he had got his WOUIIII dressed. lie sail he had. This
was on Tuesday. On lime following day.. (hiring the week,
lee laid in List till two, or past two, before he got up. After he
got up, he sometimes walked out f.w a Lit of flesh air; he was
guile poorly. He did nui complain of any particular place,
but said he was poorly. He used to throw tip what he ale.
I did not sec hint throw it up, but I saw him go out of the

week, he began to crow worse. lTe regularly applied to the
doctor till the Wednesday. After that day, Mr. Earnshaw

He said very little after the accident. He was quite low

he said No. On the next day the doctor came. I was pre.

regularly complained of his left side, and gradually lost the

EMIGRATION TO AFRIed.

r‘tvertil incorrect statements have beau published
relative to the new Colony preparing to proceed
trem the South of !reload to the Southern Coast
4 A blew. We believe the correctuess'of the fol.
loaeir, particulars may be relied on :—The leader
of the intended Colony is Mr. William Parker (not
Pidniet), who lately resided at Passage, near Cork,
o gentleman who, for a long period. was most ',tete!).
Aveft. engaged in commercial pursuits in that city,
at one time afforded employment slid the
means of subsistence to not less than one thousand
Intliiiduals. Much of Ins time and attention has
bt en for years devoted to a consideration of the
of improving, the cot:dition of the unemploy-
ed ;oaf distressed among his fellow-countryineu,
trhielt description at present unfortunately includes
tit email portion of them. Mr. Parker's plasm has
I tan-fold object : to establish a commercial port
;net tt wn, and to locate a body of agricultural set-
'tiers ut a abort and convenieut distance therefrom
1• the interior.
The number of applications from persons desirous
to emigrate has been very great ; but out of these

resetibed by Government, appear the best fitted
te engage in the enterprise. Many of thew are

The situation chino' for the erection of the rew
town is between Cape Town and Algue Bay, on mit-
a the most fertile and favoured spots on the whole
crust of Africa. Mr. Parker's proposition. though not
strictly within the terms betel out by Gave/nine tit,
bur rot only met the favourable attention of many
Members of Administration, but has also been lin-
timed with the distinguished approbation of the
Prime Regent, which his Royal Highness ass

•aluable semi: on the subject, has promised to
communicate ha advice and information towards the
formation of a system of police adapted to its 6s-
q-mi:stem:es. Several of the Societies instituted for

in the cause of suffering, or degraded humanity,
have pitted them the esteem and admiration of
their country, have 'entered With sincerity into the
views of the founder, and manifested a deep interest
fur their success.
The director of the enterprise has introduced en
much of the prospective into his plans. that shoal('

The majority of the persons going oft with Mr.
Parker are naval artisans, who had actually made
every premonition for proceeding to the Visited
Streit., of America, and who only renounced their
design on learning the proposal of Government for
colonising the south of Africa. The great import-
mice of the immediate object thus gained. will not
fail to strike our readers ; but the subject, Ward
out in another poiut of view, is well calculated to

NUREMBERG, serTicieSsi 17.

We learn from the French frootier, that a plats
has been laid before the General Committee for the
Defence of France, relative to the stew fortresses
which are to be erected in that kingdom. Several
proposals are spoken ails having beet. made, some
of which met with general opprobation, but to
which the very formidable objection was mail', that
for some years the necessary fonds could nut lie
assigned for the execution of these plans. After
numerous debates, it is said to hare been at length
agreed that a general and definitive plan must be
deferred fin nu unlimited time, mod that they must
confine themaelses to a provisitmal plan for the
text following year.. A plau, it is said, has been
drawn up in this view and submitted to discussion
in the Committee ; at present it slippers that the
following points are agreed upon:..-Ois the Spanish
frontier, Bayonne is to be concerted into • fortress
of the first ordcr, to be greatly eitended, and
provided with a fortified camp. Ofi the south-east
frontier,. Gremilde is to be a military depot, and
in the sequel to have more extrusive fortifications.
A long the Swiss fi mitier no new fortress is to be erect-
ed ; fort, on the contrary, is to be made a fortress
of tipr first order ; hitherto there was only a citadel
tin re; the town itself kid very rent fortifies-
tions, amid could not minitain a siege. lint as llu-
gen is demolish. 41, and, according to the Treaties,
no new fortresses can be built on that point, or on
the frontiers of Basle, it is intended to make Bel-
fort so itroug as to stop any enemy who should at-
tempt to enter France on that side. On the northern
fn utir r of Alsace, Lauterburg is to he fortified,
trod the lines of Wei,setibitrg re-established; but
this will not be done till after the complete ratifica-
tion of the frontiers with the Bavarian possessions
on the Rhine. In the mountains oil the Saar no-
thing is to be done, except converting !Mock into
u fortress, where at present there is only a moult-
toin fort. Od the northern frontier no tires fortress
is to be erected, as all the principal ones have re-
mimed 'in the possession of France. Only the
small fortresses of the third line, which have hi-
therto been neglected, are to be strengthened by
addition il works. This is all that is to be done, at
least for the present.

The question respweting the opinion of the pub.
lie upon the conduct of the Magistrates at Man-
cheater will soon be set at rest, for requisitions
continue to he presented to the local authorities in
different pints of the country, requesting them to
convene meeting• for the purpose of collecting the
seii.,e of the people on this distressing subject. But
of all these requisisioira, however numerously or
respectably sigtved, there is none to which the Inten-
tion of the minims at large will be turned with such
&et) and lively interest ■s that which is now in
course of receivisig signatures its the enlightened and
populous county of York. This requisition, we are
assured, has already received more than 30 signa-
tures, including those of the Duke of NORFOLK,
Etl Ferzwit.LlAM, Lord Mitants, Earl Cow rErt,
the Duo. LAWRENCE DUN DAS, Sir GEORGE CAT"
WALTER FAWKES, Esq. and many other
Gentlemen of the first rank and couseqsence,
owl that the tenor of the requisition evinces a de.
termination not merely to request, but to demand
inquiry. The Lceds Mercury states, that the
untidier of signatures daily increases—that it is
expected that the requisition will be presented to
the lligh Sheriff in the course of the present week—
mid that the meeting will be held about the middle
of October.

It is impossible, indeed, to think that the High
Sheriff could hesitate to obey this requisition,
particularly us he must be aware that in the event
of a refusal on his part to hold the meeting. the
requisitionists would instantly proceed to convene
the freeholders and inhabitants of the county with-
out his concurrecce. This consideration ought, '
we conceive, to have considerable weight with all
Sheriffs and Mayors in the kingdom. enforced us
it is with the assurance that the presence of the legal
and constitutional authorities presiding at public
meetings tends very considerably to mitigate any
asperity of let ling which might possibly be enter-
tained, and to inspire the great body of the people
with confidence in their Magistrates. The treople
of England, notwithstanding the violent language
of some demagogues, are in general strongly im-
pressed with respect for the aristocracy of the
country; and we feel deeply convinced, that if they
once beheld their natural leaders coming forward
in public meetings to assert the general rights of
all, they would quickly desert the miserable pre.
tenders to distinction who have too long abused the
public ear, and insulted !lie good sense and under-
standing of the community by their absurd and
pernicious doctrines.
It appears that in Manchester and other parts of
Lancashire white hors have become very fashionable
t. among those who cull themselves Radical Re-
formers. and are, indeed. affected as distinguishing
marks of their political sentiments. This circum-
stance is noticed in the Ministerial Papers as a
sou►ce of alarm, hat to In it stems rather au mem-

mice or safety. It proses that the Rsdical Re-
formers feel lib desire to conceal themselves or their
proceedings—that they rather court publicity, and
therefore the country is ut once apprised or the
utmost extent of its danger. Projects, hostile to the
general frame of society are seldom dangerous
unless sliest hating united at matu►ity in iecfet,
they unealwriedly burst upon the country at a mo-
ment of confidence and security. The Reformers,

'if -e.itmiei, ore at Icest ingenuous and'uturogoised,
and it certainly must be the fault of the Govern.
ment if, they should succeed in endangering the
safety oftlie more peaceable part of the com-
munity, even fur a moment.

We have received Paris Papers of Friday last,
but their contents are not very important. The
young Princess, daughter of the Duchess of Bea Y,
enjoys good health, but we must be escused
if we do not translate the bulletins in which the
attendant Physicians announce the actual state
of her health, and that of her Royal Mother. It is
sufficient for the public, in our minds, to be inform-
ed generally of the progress of each, without being
apprised of more minute particulars. We are aware
that in France such precision is not considered
inconsistent with propriety, but in this coun-
try (possibly from our not being sufficiently philo-
sophical) our notions of delicacy irrohibit ouch
pu bl icily.
The Queen of SPAIN arrived at Lyons on the
evening of the 16th, with a suite of seven carriages.
The Marquis Di CEVALLos, the Spanish Ambassiss

on the preceding evening. Iler Majesty, on the
17th, received the authorities, and on the following
day resumed her journey. This Princess is well
acquainted with the German, French, Italian, and
Spanish languages.

Accounts from Madrid state, that the conta.
gloms fever in the Isle of Leon has, within a few
days, increased surprisingly. From the ht to the
40th of August, there died 105 persons, 392 reco-
vered,aud 723 were newly attacked. From the 20th,
the day en which all communications with the island
were subjected to regulations, to the 31st, 345 per.
sons dies'. 663 recovered, and the nriml,er of the sick
had SMOUillcil to 1,313. It is also stated that
although the health of Cadiz and Port Saint
Mary is in general good, the germs of the
disease lurk in the hospitals of both places, and
symptoms of it have broken out among the inhaht.
tants.

The strictest precantions continue to be enforced
to prevent the extension of the disease beyond the
places now infected. A subscription has been
opened at Cadiz for the relief of the poor in the
Island of Leon, where it is affirmed that want and
misery carry off more people than even the yellow
fever itself. According to authentic intelligence,
no fewer than 192 persons died in the island during
the first four days of August. On the 4th alone,
the victims to the disease amounted to 57.

of the Marquis of lIASTI N GS, but from the monopo.
