MAR YLEB ONE.

Yesterday, two roguish-looking chummier, " with all
their sooty honours thick upon them," who gave their
names John Smith and Robert Garlie, were charged before
Mr. Shutt, with having unlawfully added " larder sweep-
ing" to their calling, which business they performed gratui-
tously, and in the cleanest manner possible.—They were
committed for trial.

While the prisoners were under examination, an ancient
chummey, as black as Erebus, marched boldly into the of-
fice, and sat himself down on the bench, close to a lady who
had a white dress on, who appeared very uneasy at the
proximity of the fellow, when the following colloquy took

place :
Sweep—" I hope, ma'rm, I don't intrude."
Lady—"'Why, I'd rather you'd sit a little farther off ;
you're so very black."
Sweep—" I always prefers mourners ; it looks so very
genteel."
Lady—
further off."

." You ought to wear a fast colour, then ; pray go

The colloquy was here cut short by Mr. Shutt, who or•
dered the " gentleman in black" to be turned out.

CORONER'S INQUEST ON JOSEPH
GRIMALDI, THE CELEBRATED CLOWN.

Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the Marquis
Cornwallis, Southampton-street, Pentonville, on the body
of Mr. Joseph Grimaldi, aged 57.
Mr. William Cooke, proprietor of the Marquis Corn-
wallis, knew the deceased, who for some months past had
been in the habit of frequenting witness's house in the even-
ings. He was in so infirm a state that he was compelled to
be carried from his residence, which was a few doors off,
to witness's house, and in the' same manner back to his
home ; but his infirmity was solely confined to h a lower
extremities. His bodily health of late appeared extremely
good, and his conversation and humour not at all deficient
of that which marked his former years. On Wednesday
night he attended the coffee-room in witness's house as
usual. During the evening his spirits were remarked to be
unusually good, and his tales of " olden times" added
greatly to the amusement of the company present. About
a quarter before eleven o'clock witness carried him home to
his residence on his (witness's) back, which witness had
upon frequent occasions done before. On parting the de-
ceased held out his hand and said, " God bless you, my boy,
I shall be ready for you to-morrow night."
By the Jury—The deceased was quite sober when he
left my house on Wednesday night. - He was accustomed
to take a little Scotch ale or a small quantity of gin mid
water during the evening. . . .

By the dottoNEß—He made'no complaint of indisposi-
tion during the evening. He had not experienced any ex-
citement whilst at my house.
Susannah Hill, housekeeper to the deceased, was next
examined—She said that on Wednesday Mr. Grimaldi com-
plained of a tightness at his chest, and his appetite was
not so good as usual. About half-past ten o'clock witness
went to Mr. Cooke's to apprise her master that it was time
to return home. Witness assisted him on the back of Mr.
Cooke. On his arrival home she saw him to his bed-room,
and, having placed a light upon his table, as was her cus-
tom, she retired to her own apartment. In the course of
the night witness was awoke by an unusual noise in her
master's bed-room, similar to loud snoring. She got up,
and went into the room. All was quiet, the light was still
burning, and she returned to her bed. Between five and
six o'clock she again went to the deceased's bed-room. On
approaching the bed she was shocked at discovering her
lamented master apparently a corpse. She ran for Mr.
Fenner, a surgeon in the neighbourhood, who immediately
attended, and pronounced the deceased quite dead.
Mr. Fenner, the surgeon, said that he had no doubt but
that the deceased died from natural causes.
Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God."

We regret to state, that the prospects of trade are
daily assuming a deeper gloom. The number of unemployed
is every day on the increase, and now amounts to 1,570. This
number would be very greatly increased but for the restrictions
which the Committee are constrained to impose. The total
number suffering severe privations exceeds 15,000. The soup
kitchen has been in active operation since Monday, producing
daily from 650 to 700 quarts of soup, served with a small quan-
tity of bread, to about 360 families. Messrs. Lyall and Son,
we observe, have sent a sack of barley and one of peas, as a
subscription to the soup kitchen, and a number of gentlemen
who have gardens have -been sending supplies of vegetables.
Such presents are of great use, and are very thankfully received,
by the Committee.—Paisley Advertiser.
Mr. Dore, who died recently at Broad Blunsden, at
the good old age of 94 years, was particularly eccentric. His
habits were regular, but of a peculiar description. He vv4l in-
variably an early riser ; but he had such an apprehension of
perishing from hunger, that nothwithstanding he supped with
the family, he took a quantity of food to his bed-room, and got
