On the 9th ult. as some young men were amusing
themselves with the exhibition of legerdemain tricks,
in a public house in Montrose, one of them, while
performing the deception of swallowing a knife,
actually allowed it to slip down into his stomach, to
the great consternation of this awkward imitator of
Kutterfelto and Boaz. It was an entire week before
it passed through the intestinal canal, without giving
much uneasiness; and was Ibund to be a penknife,
about three inches lung, and weighed about three
quarters of an ounce.
A shocking murder has been committed in Lin-
colnshire. A clergyivan has been shut by one of his
parishioners, while in friendly conversation with
the assassin, and killed. We have not yet heard
the particulars ; but the murderer was not in cos.
tody when the account was sent off.
The Grand Jury for the County of Middlesex
were sworn in on Thursday, and received a charge
from Mr. Justice Bayley, but it contained nothing of
a public nature.

held at the Hat and Grapes Tavern,Queen-square, Westminstar,
before J. H. Cell, Esq. Coroner, on view of the body of Wm.
Cogle, who died of the wounds he received during the riot on
Monday, the 18th instant. The Inquest excited great interest
in the neighbourhood.
Mary Cogle, wife of the deceased, was the first witness called.
She stated that har residence was at No. riS, Orchard-street.—
Her husband was a paper-hanger. On Monday evening, the
lath inst. between the hours of seven and eight, she and her hus-
band were sitting at the front parlour window. lie was reading
the Death qf Atlrl ! the little boy came up the New-way, and
asked if he should shut the street door, which lie did. After
this, some of the lodgers opened the door, and stood on the steps.
By this time the mob arrived at the house, and witness put die
window down and looked through the glass, and saw one of her
lodgers, named Wallace, lying on the ground, and the people
beating him with some weapons. In about two or three minutes
he came into the noose, the mob followed, and witness went to
the parlour dour, but was knocked down, stunned, and saw
nothing more of the affray till she recovered, when she found her
husband on the flour, in the adjoining room, covered with blood.
The mob by this time had quitted the premium. The surgeons
were sent for, and, by their advice, he was taken to the hospital.
The mob could have had no malicious intent against witness's
husbtol, but eommited the act through sheer wickedness.
In an.wer to questions front the Jury, the witness said the
aggressors were all soldiers. Slie Saw no other description of per-
sons with them. Witness had spoken to her husband since lie
was in the hospital, but he was unable to speak. On her at.
tempting to raise him in the parlour, after lie had been attacked,
bee hands were covered with blood ; he was removed to a chair
when, placing his hand on his head, lie saitl, " lam a dead
man."
Mr. Anthony White stated, he was surgeon to Westminster
Hospital, anti resided in Parliament street. The eeceased was
brought in on Monday night between nine and ten, but witness 1
did not see him till next morning, when he examined hint, and
found he had received a Wound about 'lb inches in length over
the tight eyebrow. which had driven in tue bone upon the bruin.
He was sensible, but could not articulate. Witness was sure he
gave no account of the transaction during the time he was in the
hospital. The house surgeon, Mr. Stevenson, had removed two
pieces of fractured bone. Witness attended him daily till Iris
death, which took place last Friday atternoon. From an exami-
nation of the head on Saturday, witness had no hesitation in
saying that the wound on the head, as above described, was the
cause of his death.
Mary Ashton stated, she was a lodger of Mrs. Cogle, and on
the 18th inst. was sitting in the back parlour, when sire heard an
uproar in the street, and a number of persons caine round the
house, among whom were several soldiers, some of whom rushed
in, and came into the nano where she was ; the deceased asked
what was the cause of the uproar, when she was pushed down by
a drummer; while on the floor she saw the drummer make
cut at the deceased with his sabre. The deceased tell; there
waas a cry of murder in the street. All the soldiers did not have
anus, but had pieces of paling. sticks, Etc. Witness could not
swear to any of the rioters.
After the examination of several other witnesses, the Foreman
of the Jury thought, to further the ends of justice, an adjourn.
anent of tire inquest should take place.
The Coroner expressed his readiness to comply with die
request of the Jury, and die inquisition was accordingly adjourned
silt nest evening, the witnesses being bound over to atunid.
On Tuesday at four o'clock, the inquest on William Cogle, the
the unfortunate man who was killed during the above riot, on
Monday the lath inst, was resumed at the Hoop and Gripes
Tavern. before J. 11. Cell, Esq. The soldiers in custody were
brought from Tothil-fields' prison, escorted by the police to
Queen Square office ; but as it was thought their removal to the
Jury room would create confusion, some of the witnesses
examined on Monday, attended by the Jurymen, repaired to the
police office for the purpose of iuentifying the aggrersors in the
not. Ito their return, the examination v. Li proceeded in. Tile
names of the pris ners are James Al•Cartily, @idtanh Itocbottoni,
Wm. Handy, Thomas Lee, James Jones, and Thoinit, !lope.
Mary Hilltop was the first witness called. Site swore to die
persons of Nl.Cartily, the drummer, who was active iti the riot.
Mrs. Irving stated, that she had seen all the prisoners. The
drummer in custody is Al•Carthy ; but she could not swan

many years.
Mrs. Perring stated, that she had identified M'Carthy, Roe-
bottom, Lee, Handy, anti Jones, all active in the riot.
James Jenkins deposed, that Lee was a rioter, and knocked
down Mrs. Cogle in lice house.
Maria Timberwell swore to ltoelsottom ; lie entered the house
first; APCartuy stood oa the steps brandishing his sword.—
Mary Adman could not swear to the drummer who knocked her
down.

This being the whole of the evidence produced before the
Coroner, he charged the Jury, who requested all strangers to
withdraw—on our being again admit:LAl tato the room, in three•
quarters of an hour, tht...ltiry handed in the record containing
their verdict of Wilful Murder against JAIIICA APCUrthy, (tits
drummer) Richard Rowbothain, %Villittm Hardy, Thomas Lee,
and John Jones, and acquitted Thomas !lope. The Jury also
handed in a document, winch they requested might be read. 'lie
Coroner read the paper; it was to the following ciect:—•• The
Jury observed they had also to express their regret, that during
the two last anniversaritst of the battle of Waterloo the disorderly
conduct of Mlle of the soldiery in that neighbourhood had excited
considerable alarm. and the jury respectfulty but earnestly
entreated tha. his Royal Highness ute Comnander in Chief
would be pleased to give directions to prevent a recurrence of
these excesses ill future." . . .

'fire :_:droner addressed the jury, and retiimed them his thanks
ter men very well tinmed observations, aid he should take good
care that they b 110411.1 be forwarded to the proper quarter, but he
had nu doubt, from the appearance of tanner: inters in the room,
the utmost publicity wound be given to what toey fatal said. He
then issued hit warrant of commitment to Newgete of the five
persons charged. The witnessss were also bound over to prose-
cute. An immense crowd assembled around tile house, among
whom the verdict sirenied to excite considerable sensation.

So great is the number of sparrows in the Holmes
of Cumberland—and such have been the eilects at
their visitation—that the firtners in that part of
the country have absolutely been driven to the
necessity of forming a society for their destruction,
which seems to promise the desired success. The
regulations of the society are simply—to give one
halfpenny for every four eggs that are delivered to
their secretary, and a penny for every old sparrow :
and to contribute equally towards tile ;ands. The
mortality of the feathered species is, in consequence,
very great
The ceremony of the Coronation, it is said, will
commence at twelve o'clock at u,sm, and end at
seven in the evening. The Coronation of his late
Majesty occupied sixteen haurs, which was attended
with great fatigue The ceremony can be abridged,
