MONDAY. OCTOBER 4.

Our account of the Oldham Inquest is continued
to-day up to the close of Saturday eveniag. The
Coroner, Mr. Ferrand, has by his recent conduct
forfeited his claim to the praise we bestowed upon
Mtn last week, by adopting a line of conduct di.
rectly opposite to that which then, drew forth our
approbation. Ile has since ac'ed like the petulant,
vulgar, lying advocate of the Manchester Magis-
trates a►d Yeomanry.

Testesdny the following Bulletin was exhibited at
Jumps's Palace, of the state of the King's health :
•• Windsor, October 2:
" Ills Majest- continues in a tranquil state of mind and in
good bodily larishil, but his Majesty'sdisorder is imaltered."

We have the highest possible authority for stating,
that Mr. Norris, the stipendiary Magistrate at Man-
chester. is brother in law of Mr. Bragge Bathurst.
On this J.-ACT we make no comment ! •We leave it
to our readers to account fin the breathless zeal with
which Ministers identified themselc•cs with this Ma-
gistrate's nets, and degraded their Sovereign by
approving in his name a murderous breath of divine
and human laws.

Some curious and unprecedented circumstances
occurred on Tuesday nt the ceremony of swearing in
the New Sheriffs, at Guildhall. Jlr. Sheriff Par-
kins having been the first elected, claimed the right
of seniority ; but Mr. Sheriff Bothweil, as being an
Alderman, contended against the claim on the
ground of ancient custom. An appeal having been
made to the Recorder, he 4Zecided that Alderman
Bothwell was the senior Sheriff, against which de-
cision Mr. Parkins entered his formal Protest, pre-
paratory to the question of right being submitted to
the Court of King's Bench. There are precedents
in favour of Alderman Bothwell, but it does not
appear from the proceedings of yesterday, that the
case has been ever decided 1w law. When a gentle,
man accepts the office of Sheriff in the first instance.
while many others refuse and fine to Le excused,
he certainly has a fair and legitimate claim to pre-
cedence. On the subject of the appointment of a
Sub-Sheriff the new Sheriffs have also disagreed,
and their Shrievulty at present promises nothing
like concord or unanimity. It is said that Mr. She-
riff Parkins intends neither to give nor to take
dinners,. us he probably conceives that eating and
drinking are not essentially necessary to the office,
and that a gentleman may make a very good and
excellent Sheriff without indulging in the luxuries
of the table.

State of the Poll this day at the close:—Bridge,
2,457; 'Thorpe, 1,732; Wood, 1,715.

INTENDED AERIAL ASCENT FROM PEN.
TON VILLE.

A Mr. Deans announced his intention of ascend-
ing from Belvidere Gardens, Pentonville, on Tues-
day last, ut one o clock, but the boisterous state of
the weather induced him to postvone the attempt
till Sin relay at the same hoer. Every prep' ration
was carefully made, every precaution to prevent
disappointment taken, and yet, after having inspcvt-
ed the process of inflation tin- a very considerablo
time, the einupany were informed that the mears
provided were insufficient to insure a safe ascent.—
Vs regret this much, as we understand Mr. DeaLs
had promised himself the pleasure of exhibiting a
material philosophical improvement in the manage-
ment of these Aerial Machines; it is however, but
justice to Mr. D. and the proprietor of the Gardens
to state that the whole of the money taken for twl-,
' mission was most handsonely returned. We add
with regret that considerable violence was manifest-
ed, and some dam age done by the populace on the
outside, in consequence of the disappointment.

Lora John Berv.fonl, who is about to be trans-
latok from the Irish Bishopric of Itaphoe to that a
Clogher, is the youngestison of :he late Marquis a
Waterford: Lord Joint was tint appointed to the
sec of Cork, and afterwards translated to Raphoe.—
Clogher, after Derry, is considered the richest suf.
frag.tii see in Ireland. It was for some time worthily
tilled by Dr. Cumberland, father of the lute celo•
brated dramatist.
