SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3.

We this day give a copious abridwnent of the
proceedings which have hitherto reached us of
the Coroner's Jury held at Oldham, on the body of
John Lees, one of the victims of the bloody 16th of
August, and we feel it to be of such importance
•that we shall continue them next week. Since
the fatal' da3N we have had an almost novaried
task of condemning the conduct of Magistrates,
Soldiers, (we beg pardon, we mean the Man-
chester Yeomanry, who, if to form the character of a
Soldier be needed Courage, and its uniform attend-
ant Mercy, urn no Soldier•), Coroners, and Consta.
Llcs, and with pleasure do we change our note to
do justice to Mr. Ferrand, the Coroner on the Old.
ham inquest. His booty of a clerk had by Lis
conduct created a prejudice in our minds against the
master, which, however, has Leen entirely removed
by Mr. Ferrand's upright, manly, honest, honour-
able, and gentlemanly conduct on this occasion.

We rrg►et to say that Mr. Fdtreail, by his stileie.
(wrest conduct, has forfeited every ela,in to the abase
«Origin/a, by alwarently to I la el: himself betweett
(dratted justice gild the delinquent..

We have the highest possible uuthurity for stating,
that Mr. Norris, the stipendiary Magistrate at Man-
chester, is brother in law of Mr. Bragge Bathurst.
On this FACT we make no comment! We leave it
to our readers to account for the breathless zeal with
which Ministers identified themselves with this Ma-
gistrates acts, and degraded their Sovereign by
approving in his name a murderous breach of divine
and human laws.

Some curious and unprecedented circumstances
occurred on Tuesday at the ceremony of swearing in
the New Sherifik, at Guildhall. Mr. Sheriff Par-
kins having been the first elected, claimed the right
of seniority ; but Mr. Sheriff Rothwell, as being an
Alderman, contended against the claim on the
ground of ancient custom. An appeal having been
made to the Recorder, he decided that Alderman
Rothwell 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 Rothwell, but it does not
appear from the proceedings of yesterday, that the
case has been ever decided by law. When a gentle.
man accepts the office of Sheriff in the first instance.
while many others refuse and fine to be 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 abe disagreed,
and their Shrievalty at present promises nothing
like concord or unanimity. It is said that Mr. She-
riff Parkins intends neither to give nor to take
dinners, as 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 yesterday at the close:—Bridges,
1,954; Thorpe, 1,469; Wood, 1,456.

INTENDED AERIAL ASCENT FROM PEN-

TOXVILLE.

A Mr. Deans announced his intention of ascend-
ing from Belvidere Gardens, Pentonville, on Tues-
day lust, at one o clock, but the boisterous state f
the weather induced him to postpone the attemit
till yesterday at the same hour. Every prepration
was carefully made, every precaution to revolt
disappointment taken, and yet, after having inspect-
ed the process of inflation for a very considerable
time, the company were informed that the means
provided were insufficient to insure a safe ascent.—
e regret this much, as we understand Mr. Deans
had promised himself the pleasure of exhibiting a
material philosophical improvement in the manage.
ment of these Aerial Much:,.es ; it is however, but
justice to Mr. D. and the proprietor of the Gardens
to state that the whole of the money taken for ad-

mission was most hantlsoncly returned. We add
with regret that considtr4Lle violence was manifest-
