CORONER'S INQUEST- SUICIDE BY

TAKING PRUSSIC ACID.

Yesterday evening, at seven o'clock, an inquest
was held sit the house of Messrs. Bowling, Walker,
and Co., wholesale druggists, in Kent-street,Soulh-
work, before Mr. PAYNE, Coroner, and a highly-
respectable Jury, on view of the body of George
Corrie, who-poisoned himself on Wednesday last,
by taking prussic acid.

Mr. James Bowling, the principal of the firm,
stated, that on arriving in this country from Ire-
land, about eight weeks ago, he examined the day-
book, kept by the deceased, and found great irregu-
larities in the entries. Witness went into the
country, and on his return his suspicions of the
integrity of the deceased having increased, he em-
ployed persona to go to the shop and purchase
sundry articles, anal on the same night after the de-
ceased had gone to bed, he examined his d4v-book,
and found that not one of those articles had been
entered. The witness then told the deceased that
he had been robbed to a very great extent, and that
he intended, in justice to himself, to tae him before
the Magistrates of Union-hall.

George Green, an apprentice to the firm, stated
hat he heard the deceased confess that he had sold
:he articles now produced.

John Jackson, an apprentice to the firm, on
Wednesday afternoon had a conversation in the
shop with the deceased, about the charge made
against him. The deceased entered into a long
explanation of his motives for making the etv ries
in the book in the manner complained of by Mr.
Bowling. He almost cried when he said this. Wit,
ness told him if he felt that his conscience vas
clear, he need not fear going to Union-hail, or any
where else. His actions appeared disordered, and
when customers came in he appeared h.srrily to
observe them. The deceased was naturally very
timid and nervous. He was 28 years of age.
The Coroner charged the Jury, and after a Otart
consultation, they returned a verdict, " That the
deceased destroyed himself by taking pru,sie avid
while in a state of temporary derangement."

RESEMBLANCE BETWEEN CHINESE

MUSIC.AND SCOTCri.

The Chinese have made little improvement in
music, since the time when Father Semedo and
Dr. Careri wrote. Their gamut is certainly the
diatonic scale of the Greeks; it consists of five

yse-
smnßtitu:ruen/hs:s. Musique des Anciens, mentions an old
Chinese scale, of six notes, which Rameau has
preserved. The Abbe and Rameau differ as to
the nature of this scale, which, according
.to the
latter, produces, by applying the numbers to
ascending fifths, the Scottish scale, adding only
a note to complete the octave, thus,—C, D, E,
G, A, a. " The only specimen of Chinese
music which Rousseau has given in his Diction-
ary, from Du Halde, seems to confirm," in Dr.
Burney's opinion, " Rameau's scale ; for except
in one passage, at the beginning of the third
bar, when F. natural comes in so awkwardly, as
to raise a suspicion that it has been inserted by
a mistake of the engraver, the fourth and sevent4
of the key are scrupulously mixed throughout ;
and nothing can be more Scottish than the whole
cast of the air." Dr. Burney says, that " all the
specimens of Chinese melody which he had been
able to collect were of this sort ;" and Dr. Lied,
who had resided for some time in China, assured
Dr. Burney "all the melodies he had heard there
bore a strong resemblance to the old. Scots
tunes." The Doctor farther observes, that the
octave produced by omitting the third note
downwards in two tetrachords, as the second was
omitted in the enharmonic of Olympus; gives
exactly the Chinese scale of the Abbe Ronssier,
concluding as follows : " The Chinese scale,
take it which way we will, is certainly very Scot-.
tish. It is not my intention to insinuate by this,
that the one nation had its music from the other,
or that either was obliged to ancient Greece for
its melody, though there is a strong resemblance
in all three. The similarity, however, proves
them all to be more natural than they at first seem
to be, as well as more ancient. The Chinese
are extremely tenacious of old customs, and
equally enemies to innovation with the ancient
Egyptians, which favours the idea of the high
antiquity of this simple music ; and, as there is
reason to believe it very like the most ancient of
the Greek melodies, it is not difficult to suppose
it to be a species of music that is natural to a
people of simple manners, during the infancy cf
civilization and the arts among them."—Co4-

ToCLON, APRIL 29.—The army is really superb,
and animated with the best spirit. The regiments
which have come from the north of France have
not left a single man behind them. Our young sol-
diers, who have not been able to form a part of the
battalions engaged in active service, are really afflict-
ed, and many non-commissioned officers have re-
signed their rank, in order to enter these battalions
on the footing of soldiers. There are 30,000 men
of infantry, and 5,000 of other troops.
The navy is not less zealous than the army : the
crews are in an excellent state, and the greatest
efforts are made in order to be ready in time. We
have counted 99 vessels of all sizes, and about 500
transports.
No armament of such importance had been made
since the expedition of Egypt; and even at that
period the feet was not all assembled at Toulon, it
was dispersed in several ports of the Mediterranean.
All kinds of precautions have been taken to secure
the health of our soldiers against the climate and
the diseases to which Europeans are exposed.
Never, at any epoch, were the persons employed in
the administrations and hospitals so numerous. The
tear which we have undertaken is much better un-
derstood in the south than in the north of France.
We view it with pleasure, because its result will be
to destroy the piracy which has been so long infest-
ing our maritime commerce; the army is in conse-
quence received with satisfaction in every place
where it passes.
The weather is beautiful : for the last six weeks
slot a single drop of rain has fallen in Provence.
Several vessels of the division of Brest have en-
tered the port, and taken their station near the Ad-
mind's ship La Provence. It is the same vessel
which was insulted by the Algerines, and will have
on board the Admiral and the General who are to
take vengeance for this affront. Not far from it is
the Trident, under the command of Rear-Admiral
Rosamel : this ship has just returned from the Le-
vant, and though the crew had a right to be die-
eliarged, it has demanded as a favour to be employed
in the campaign. The Congreve fusess are tried
daily, the sailors exercise at firing the great guns,
and the infantry at the military evolutions. Add to
that some thousands of boats, which are continually
going to and frc, and you may have an idea of the
spectacle which the second port of France presents
rsc this moment.

The above distinguished Baronet belonged to a
respectable family which had been seated for several
generations at Oswiltich, in the county of Lancas-
ter. He was born at Peel's Cross, near Lancaster,
a small estate belonging to his father, on the 25th
April, 1750, and had consequently just attained his
eightieth year at the period of his dissolution. It
is said that very early in life Sir Robert entertained
a strong presentiment that he would become the
founder of a Noble family, and at the age of four-
teen he frequently avowed his determination to raise
himself to rank and consequence in society, declaring
his hope to be " Sure faber fortunm," on a convic-
tion that any situation in a free country is accessible
to a good capacity, aided by prudence and industry.
Sir Robert gave early proofs of quickness of per-
ception. Hence probably arose that spirit in his
enterprises, and attention to active habits, for which
he was distinguished in after-life. In the year
1770, Sir Robert, who had devoted himself to the
improvement of machinery, with a view to its con-
version to the purposes of commerce, made some
important discoveries in the application of mechani-
cal powers to the abridgment of human labour, in
which branch of science Sir Richard Arkwright
had previous!), made some ingenious inventions.
Sir Robert was then engaged in the cotton
trade, in which he gradually accumulated an
enormous property. Such was the extent to
which his business was carried, that he paid up-
wards of 4,0001. annually to the Excise office on
printed goods alone. He was remarkably attentive
l
to the internal comfort of his workmen, and the
health of the children employed in his manufactories,
and, in the year 1802, he introduced a Bill into
Parliament to ameliorate the condition of appren-
tices in the cotton and woollen trades. Sir Robert
was also known as an author, and obtained celebrity
by a work entitled " The National Debt produc-
tive of National Prosperity." He subscribed ex-
tensively to the voluntary contributions in 1797, for
carrying en the war against the French Republican
Government. In addition to the munificent con-
tribution of fifty thousand pounds, he trained his
own workmen to military discipline, and made an
addition of six companies to the volunteers of the
day from his own manufactories. Sir Robert sus-
tained the reputation of bestowing considerable
sums in elemosynary purposes, and in all the rela-
tions of private life he was highly estimable. He
represented the town of Tamworth, in which he
established extensive cotton works, from the year
1790 to the general election in 1818, when he re-
signed his seat in favour of his second son, Mr.
William Yates Peel. Sir Robert's first wife was
the daughter of his partner, Mr. William Yates, of
Bury, and by this lady, to whom he was united July
8, 1783, he had issue the Right Hon. Robert
(the present Baronet) born Feb. 6, 1788 (when
his father had nearly completed his 40th, and his
mother was yet in her 18th year) Secretary of State
for the Home Department ; married June 8, 1820,
Julia, youngest daughter of the late General Sir
John, and sister to the present Sir Henry Floyd,
Bart., by whom the Right Hon. Baronet has a
family of four children.-2. William Yates Peel,

children.-3. The Reverend Edward Peel, born

Geo. Robert Dawson, Esq., of Castle Dawson,
M.P. for Londonderry, and joint Secretary to the
Treasury.-7. Eliza, born 1786 ; married, 30th
December, 1805, the Very Rev. William Cockburn,

1797; married, March, 1824, the Hon. Robert
Henley Eden, M.P. for the borough of Fowey,
a Master in Chancery, and eldest son of
Lord Henley.-9. Laurence Peel, Esq., born
1799, M.P. for Cockermouth, and a Commis-
sioner for the Affairs of India, married 1822,
Lady Jane Lennox, youngest daughter of the
late Duke of Richmond. Sir Robert survived his
first wife, and he married, secondly, October 18,
1805, Su,annah, youngest daughter of Francis
Clarke, Esq.; and sister of Sir William Henry
. Clarke, Bait. of Bury, county of Lancaster, and she
died September 19, 1824. The venerable Baronet
thus succeeded in allying his children to some of the
noblest families in the kingdom ; and so numerous,
it appears, are his descendants, that, on the occasion
of the anniversary of his seventy-sightli birth-day,
in 1828, he presented a silver medal to each of his
fifty children and grand-children present. Sir
Robert filled the office of Vice-President of the
Literary Fund, and was also a Governor of Christ's
Hospital. Amidst his multifarious avocations abroad,
the late Baronet was at home the indefatigable
supervisor of his children's instruction, and he
bestowed much attention in forming the Right Hon.
Secretary of State for both public and private life.

The annual finance accounts, which have just
been printed, present us with, on the whole, a
satisfactory view of the state of our trade and
navigation. Judging from these accounts alone,
it would be difficult to reconcile the complaints
we have lately heard in all quarters of the
general stagnation -of all branches of industry,
and it would be almost impossible to believe
that the opponents of free trade should have had
the courage first to assert openly that our com-
merce is ruined, and then to attribute that ruin
to measures which, so far as they have gone,
have proved so highly beneficial to the country.
A short summary of the Sessional Accounts will
enable our readers to judge upon what founda-
tion such assertions rest.

For th• last three years the imports and ex-
ports of the United Kingdom hare been as

The expedition will probably set sail on the Bth
M. 10th; and even then there will be no time lost,
for the best months for the navigation of the Medi-
tirranean are those of May, June, July, and August.

IMPORTS. EXPORTS.
Official Value. Official Value. Declared Value.
1827 44,587,774 62,050,60.3 117,182,157
1828 45,0-28,805 62,744,000 86,814,176
1829 43,981,317 66,835,444 35,8.30,469
Here is a considerable increase in the exports, in
quantity, as exhibited by the official value; and as
to the falling off in the declared value, which has so
much alarmed some politicians, it appears to have
taken place to a very trifling amount in some of
the principal branches of our manufactures, while
of others the real value has increased. The real
value of the British cotton manufactures ex-
ported fell from 13,545,6381. in 1828 to
13,420,5441. in 1829, being only 125,0001. ;
the woollen manufactures from 5,120,226/. to
4,656,8091., being the greatest fall in price of
all ; the linen manufactures from 2,000,0331. to
1,885,831/. ; and the iron and steel, wrought
anti unwrought, from 1,226,836/. to 1,155,176/.
On the other hand, the declared value of hard-
ware and cutlery exported rose from 1,385,616/.
in 1828 to 1,389,514/. in 1829 ; that of cotton
yarn from 3,594,9451. to 3,794,039/. ; that of
brass and copper manufactures from 678,531/.
to 810,6411. ; that of silk manufactures from
255,7551. to 267,1921., a fact worthy of parti-
cular notice, when coupled with the circumstance!
of the importations of Continental silk manufac-
tures having fallen off from 545,680/. in 1828
to 424,689/. in 1829: It is an error, we admit,
to estimate the value of our manufacturing in-
dustry by the low money prices of the day,
compared to those of former years, for the
national wealth consists in the quantity of ex-
changeable commodies produced in the nation,
and in no degree depends on the greater or less
value of money ; but we allude to the declared
value of exports, in order to show that the argu-
ments of national decay, drawn from its assumed
diminution, do not rest upon facts sufficient to
make them worthy of notice, even supposing
there had not been the large increase which
there is in the quantity of all the great branches
of manufactures exported during the last year.
The accounts for Ireland are not, on the

These official returns require no comment,
further than that we are happy to observe that
Ireland fully participates in the general increase.
