instead of submitting, ought not to have listened to
it for a moment.
The French papers assert that, in consequence of
these objections, the English are to keep possession
of the citadel of Corfu, and that, if no terms of
accord can be arrived at, they must treat it like
Sebastopol, and blow it up previous to departure.
We must confess that this strikes us as a most
iun-
gracious and disgraceful mode of evacuatng the
islands. If the act be not accompanied Ly an
r
engagement of King George, that neither he go. his
successors shall ever repair and raise up again these
battlements, these precautions will have proveu
useless. We therefore cannot see what is to be
gained by this truckiing to Austria and Turkey,
except that we shall wipe all gratitude from the
Greek mind for what we have done, and make King
George appear to have purchased his crown by the
servitude of his people.
It may be said that there is little use in these forti-
cations, at least for such a power as Greece ; and it

Radical

Charles Mathews at the Haymarket.

Mr. Mathews had been absent from the London
stage long enough to render his return an object of
curiosity. For some time before his Parisian engage-
ment, he had been before the public as an " enter-
tainer," and it seemed probable that he was about
to quit the histrionic profession, strictly so called,
and to enter into permanent competition with the
Reeds, the Parrys, and the Woodins. But with all
his talent, and the prestige derived from his father
as the founder of what are now termed " entertain-
ments," he scarcely raised himself to the head of the
class he had joined; and his ultimate return to the
profession of his youth seems to indicate that, in
the hybrid position proper to halls and galleries, he
felt something like a fish out of water. Once more
on the boards of the Haymarket, he appeared as
pleased to see his old theatrical patrons as they were
to give him welcome. No doubt, to a regular actor
who, like Mr. Mathews, can hold audiences in his
grasp, can make them sympathise with all his
humours, and can even take pleasant liberties with
them on which a less firmly established favourite
would not venture, there must be something ex-
tremely weak and jejeune in the very warmest
applause that the most enthusiastic admirers of en-
tertainments can bestow. A battle fought by officers
only, however skilfully conducted, would be but a
dull affair, and the approval of a merely genteel audi-
ence, in which there is no mob-element, can never
amount to what in modern parlance is styled a
demonstration. By the artist who burns for public
favour, the roar of the pit and gallery is required as
a necessary indorsement the gratification expressed
by the smile and titter of the boxes and stalls ; and
the want of this must be more particularly felt
where there are no pit and gallery whatever, and
the seats are occupied by persons all more or less
strict in their notions of propriety, and many of
them uneasily suspicious that they are grazing
the borders of sin while participating in any public
entertainment that does not resemble the solemn
buffooneries of Exeter Hall. The poet who only
pens sonnets, the musician who devotes himself
to chamber-music, the humourist who exclusively
retails such pleasantries as make young ladies
simper, may—nay, must—be contented with the
approval of the refined few ; but the genuine
actor, with the ambition proper to his calling, is
essentially a man of the people. He will not be
satisfied with a House of Representatives elected
by universal suffrage, but requires the actual
Demos to be brought bodily before him.
Mr. Mathews returns in excellent condition, and
those who before his retirement fancied that they
could detect the encroachment of time on the vigour
and vivacity of the most mercurial of actors, now
feel that the universal enemy has been triumphantly
repelled, and that the Mathews who charmed them
tiventy years ago is the Mathews who exhilarates
,hem now.

Suspected Death from Poison.,

Last night Mr. John Humphreys, the Middlesex
coroner, held an inquiry at the Grey Eagle Tavern,
Grey Eagle-street, Spitalfields, into the circum-
stances of the death of Eliza Marns, aged 34 years.
The case seemed to excite great interest in the
neighbourhood, and the court was crowded.
Jane Syms, 20, Gossett-street, Bethnal-green, said
that the deceased was the widow of Edward Morns,
a tailor. Ho died on the 29th of last May. The
deceased resided at No. 34, Grey Eagle-street. She
was a sober woman. She was taken ill at half-past
six o'clock on Thursday last. A Mr. Beecher, who
witness believed had been living with the deceased,
remained upstairs a short time. When he cameAi
down the deceased followed him, and said to

Beecher, "My dear, my God; what have russmo

which times her back was bowed, the body resting
on the head and heels ; altogether she had 24 fits.
The usual remedies were applied, and Dr. Gayton
was called in. During the night Mr. Beecher came
up twice, seeming much cut up, and at about 4
o'clock on Friday morning he proposed that medical,
assistance should be procured. The death rattthaets
were then in her throat, and witness told him

Art 16. After setting aside sufficient funds to pay
all legacies and bequests herein made, I direct mye
said trustees to hold all the rest and !endue of my
estate, real and personal and mixed, in special trust
for the following parposes—namely, to pay over,
out of the principal of sold special trust, a cum of ,
not less than 8,000 dollars annually, until the same,
be all exhausted, to said Wendell Phillips, Win-
Lloyd Garrison, Stephen S. Footer, Abby
lie Foster,
Parker Pilsbury, Henry C. Wright, Francis Sack-
son, and Charles R. Whipple, and their survivorsand

cretion, without any resposibility to any one, for
the promotion of the anti-slavery manse and other
reforms—such as woman's rights, n en-resistance,
free-trade, and temperance—at their discretion.
And I request said Wendell Phillips anti his said
associates

Believing that the chain upon four millions of slay.ea
with tyrants at one end and hypocrites at the other,
has become the strongest bon of the union of the
States, I desire said Phillips and his associates to
expend such bequests by employing

slaveholders, religiously or politically; and by cir-
culating such publications as tend to destroy every
pro-slavery institution.
Art. 17. In case chattel slavery should be abolished
in the United States before the expenditure of the
said residue of my estate, as stated in said sixteenth
article of this will, then in that case I desire that
the unexpended part of said residue be applied by
said Phillips and his associates in equal proportions
for the promotion of non-resistance, woman's rights,
and free trade ; requesting that no agent be em-
ployed by them for the promotion of said causes
except such as believe that the natural rights of men
and women are equal. Whether slavery be abolished
or not, I desire that a part of the said residue of my
estate be applied to the promotion of the kindred
causes of temperance, woman's rights, non-resist-
ance, and free trade, at the discretion of the said
Phillips and his associates.
Art. 22. I particularly request that no prayers
be solicited from any person, and that no priest be
invited to perform any ceremony whatever over or
after my body. The priesthood are an order of men
as I believe falsely assuming to be reverend and
divine, pretending to be called of God; the great
body of them in all countries have been on the side
of power and oppression. The world has been too
long cheated by them—the sooner they are un-
masked the better foe humanity.
As I have heretofore borne my testimony against
slavery, intemperance, war tariffs, and all indirect
taxation, bank, and ail monopolies, I desire to leave
on record my abhorrence of them all.
The fear of being buried before I am dead is
slight, nevertheless it is greater than the fear of
death itself ; I therefore request my executors not
to bury my body until at least three days after my
decease.
