THE MEDICAL MISCELLANY.

In this Number there is a " Review of Mr.
Wakley's Conduct as Coroner for Middlesex ;" and
we are glad to find from it that even the medical
profession are beginning to complain of the fre-
quency of inquests in Middlesex, and to inveigh
against the frequency of post-mortem examinations
recommended by the Coroner for the Western Divi-
sion of the County. Mr. Waklev has exerted his
inquisitorial power beyond due bounds. He has
attempted (we are ready to admit, with good inten-
tions) to have a post-mortem examination in cases
where the public are averse to such unnecessary
mutilation of the bodies of their friends, and he
has thereby raised a prejudice against the very
office itself. One declaration of his is sufficient to
mark the dangerous tendency of the practice. He
has declared his intention to hold inquests on all
cases of women dying during labour, within a few
hours after delivery. Rather than allow such a
system to be carried into effect, we believe not only
women, and men and women midwives, but the
whole community, would see the office abolished,
and England placed on a footing with Scotland,
where there are no domestic inquisitions, and
where life is as secure, and the profession as effi-
cient, as in any part of the world. Doctors dis-
agree ; and the following, from the pen of an
author accustomed to the use of the dissecting•
knife, is a proof :—" The sacred sympathies of
husbands, of fathers, and of brothers will rally
round the death-bed of the departed relative, and
interpose between her inviolate remains and the
Coroner's warrant, the constable's staff, or the knife
of the surgeon." There is truth in this, though
it may be written by a medical enemy of Mr.
Wakley.

CAMPBELL'S POETICAL WORXS.

perfluous.

A new monthly Journal, devoted to politics,
literature, and arts. So far as it has vet proceeded,
we incline to think favourably of it, for the articles
are written with tact, and show skill in the choice
of subject.

THE FUNDS.

Money having become. rather plentiful, and discounts on
good bills at an easier rate, caused a prevailing opinion that
the Bank directors would have issued a notice yesterday,
lowering their rates of discount, which has not taken place.
A rumour prevails that the Bank direction have re-
cently afforded extensive assistance to parties to whom
their most jealous notice has constantly been directed, and
to whom they had, hitherto, refused all support, and done
all in their power to depreciate ; though such assistance
tended, at the same time, to counteract the measures they
had in progress for the contraction of the circulation, and
through fear of what might happen if such assistance were
refused.

To the present hour there is very little doing in either
of the markets, and we do nDt expect that any further
operations of magnitude in Spanish will be effected until
after the settling day in the Foreign Market, which takes
place on Monday next : this day and to-morrow the brokers
and jobbers will endeavour to square their accounts in
Spanish, and we apprehend that the settling will be at-
tended with great difficulty, as the extreme rise has been
upwards of 10 per Cont.

No successful attempt has hitherto been made to introduce
the superior coals of North Staffordshire into the London
Market, and the wealthy owners of the northern collieries have
hitherto enjoyed a monopoly.
For the purpose of supplying the Metropolis with coals equal,
and in some respects superior, to the best " Wallsend," a
Company has been formed who have contracted for the purchase
of the Dilhorne Colliery, with its engines and machinery, and the
fee simple of a largo tract of adjoining mineral land, abound-
ing in coal and iron, situate in the Northern Division of the
County of Stafford. Arrangements have been made with the
different Canal Proprietors for the transit of the Coal at reduced
rates of tonnage; and the Company will be enabled to deliver
to their Shareholders in London, at all seasons of the year, the
very best quality of Coals at 225. 6d. per ton, leaving an ample
return for the Capital embarked.
The Coals have been burnt at many of the leading establish-
ments in London, who have furnished the most satisfactory
Testimonials to their quality as compared with the best Walls-
end Coals.

These Testimonials, with a Prospectus, may be had at the
Offices of the Company, No. 36, Old Jewry' 'where applications
for the remaining Shares will be received, addressed to the Se-
cretaries, if by letter, post paid.

NEW MODE OF SERVING A WARRANT.—Joseph Smith,
an ostler, was brought up on a Judge's warrant to give bail
for his appearance at the Sessions on a charge of assault.
Mr. GROVE asked for the warrant, which the prisoner
himself, to the surprise of every one present, produced
from his pocket.
Mr. (nova said that during the whole course of his ex-
perience he had never known such an instance. He wished
to know who served the warrant.
Policeman N 221 said he had served it. He had been
three months only in the force, and thought it was correct
to leave the warrant in possession of the prisoner.
Mr. GROVE—It is a most fortunate thing for the police-
man that the prisoner is as ignorant as himself Had he
not appeared the policeman would have been in a very awk-
ward situation.
The prisoner then entered into the required sureties,
and was discharged.
A BLACK Cass.—John Hyde was placed at the bar
charged with breaking open the box of a person named
Cooke, and robbing him of 41. 9s. 7id. It appeared that
three parties had entered into partnership on Monday last as
blacking-makers and varnish-manufacturers with a capital of
51., furnished by the prosecutor, the prisoner finding the
knowledge. The prisoner was to go a journey to Croy-
don, for the benefit of the concern, but previous to his
departure he opened the prosecutor's box and took the
property, with whieh he went to Brighton, ostensibly for
the
him.pauurtrose of selling blacking. The prosecutor followed
save him into custody,— The prisoner was remanded.

STOVE ON PRINCIPLES ENTIRELY NEW, AND
UNEQUALLED FOR COMFORT AND ECONOMY.
By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent.
nrHE CHUNK PATENT STOVE,
A_ invented by Mr R. PROSSER, Civil Engineer, is distin-
guished from all others by its entire freedom from dust or
smoke, its great economy of fuel, and its perfect safety from
fire. It has been a source of great comfort in the nursery and
oed-room of he invalid, affording an uniform temperature
through the day and night, with only one supply, while the
most delicate test cannot detect anything arising from its use
which is injurious to health—it merely warms the air without
decomposing it ; and, as there is no door, none of the gases
generated by combustion can pass into the apartment.
Wherever warmth is required, this Stove is applicable. It is
as desirable for the drawing-room as the laundry ; for warming
greenhouses it possesses extraordinary claims, the very great
expense of building flues, and afterwards the immense con-
sumption of fu'l, bring avoided. For workshops and ships'
cabins it is invaluable ; it requires attention only once in
twenty-four hours, during which time the cost will not exceed
twopence. Price, Plain,3/. ; Fluted, 3/. 10s.

HOP MARKET.

As the supply of hops increases, trade becomes heavier;
prices the same as on Monday. The duty is estimated at
225,000/.

TEA SALE—THIRD DAY.
The sale progresses, much as it began, and prices show no
variation, being about the-rates obtained previous to the com-
mencement of the sale. About one-third of that which is put
up sells.
INDIGO SALE—SECOND DAY.
The sale goes on steadily. Owing to the quantity being
little more than 6,000 chests, which is but a small quantity for
a quarterly sale, prices were much the same as those obtained
previously to the commencement of the sale.

COLONIAL MARKET.
Very little passing. British Plantation Sugar sold slowly
at 595. to 60s. for brown, and 625. to 68s. for yellow. No
Coffee in the market worth naming. 1,500 bags Bengal Sugar
sold at from 535. to 61s. for brown. A parcel of Manilla sold
in part at 163., and some Siam at 20s. to 235. Pepper, 1,500
bags, sold at aid. for Eastern.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)

ILLEGALLY PAWNING CLOTHES.—Sarah Smith, a
washerwoman, was charged with having illegally pawned
some bed-curtains, table-cloths, &c., the property of
Mrs. Benjamin, which had been entrusted to her to
wash. The articles had been pledged for 21 s.
Mr. Alderman HARMER ordered the prisoner to pay
a fine of 205., and the value of the articles, or be im-
prisoned for fourteen days.
Mrs. Benjamin said the pawnbroker refused to give
up the property.
Mr. Payne said that he had better restore the goods,
for he was liable to a fine of double the sum lent for
receiving linen entrusted to a person for the purpose of
being washed.
The pawnbroker said he was not aware of that. It
was a very hard case.
After some hesitation the articles were restored, and
the parties quitted the office.

HATTON GARDEN.-(THIS DAY.

THE REVOLT 'OF THE WORKHOUSE.—Harriett
Holmes, Jane Spinks, Martha James, Mary Glyn, and
Ellen Keefe, all good-sized girls, were charged with
riotous anti disorderly conduct in Clerkenwell work-
house.

The nurse of the ward stated that the prisoners had
yesterday and the day before refused to do the work
which had been allotted to them, and that she had
flogged them with a cane, and they still refused. Yes-
terday afternoon, after refusing to work, they were
riotous and disorderly, and made use of very abusive
language, when they were given into custody.
Mr. COMBS sentenced each of them to seven days'
imprisonment ; but on the promise to behave better for
the future, they were, after a severe admonition, dis-
charged at the intercession of the workhouse authori-
ties, and taken back into the house.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, Nov. 29.—Con-
iderably more business has been transacted in the
Sugar Market at very firm prices, and, in some instances,
a slight advance has been paid ; but the general feeling
is excessive caution to avoid everything not requisite (or
immediate purposes.—Mercury.
PROI&IBITED IMPORTATION OF AMERICAN
FLOUR IN IRILAND.—It is a well known fact, that,
throughout the three kingdoms, the wheat crop for the
last year has been a failure, in consequence of the ex-
treme badness of the season—that the quality of the
flour produced from it has been proportionably deterio-
rated, and that the bread with which the bakers are
thus compelled to supply the public is essentially a bad
article, as compa-ed with what it ought to be.
It is a remarkable fact, not generally known, that,
though American flour can be imported into Liver-
ponl or other English ports on payment of a certain
duty, not an ounce of it can be brought into Ireland
under any circumstance, whatever. American wheat
may be imported and ground in Irish mills, but if flour
be introduced it is liable to seizure and confiscation, no
matter what amount of duty may have been paid upon
it. Some years ago a merchant of this town, not being
aware of the existence of the strange law referred to,
brought over from Liverpool a cargo of American flour,
but was ennapeilPd to send it back to England at a
heavy loss.--Be fact News.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

QUEEN- SQUARE.
SUNDAY TRADING.—A gentleman, in the course of
yesterday, came before Mr. Burrell, and said he had
an application to make, provided it did not appear in
the papers.
Mr. BURRELL observed that he could not, nor did
he wish, to control the press, but would the applicant
favour him with his name and the nature of his business.
The applicant said that his name was Willesford,
that he resided in Sloane-street, and was one of the
Churchwardens for the parish of St. Luke, Chelse.
It was his wish, and he was sure it was reciprocal
upon the part of many of the most respectable inh
bitants of Chelsea, to put an end to Sunday trading,
which was carried on to a great extent in the upper
part of the parish. The parties he now desiredee to
have sommonses against were a baker and a e-
monger, resident in North-street ; and if they
chs
were
granted, he could prove upon good evidence that they
had transgressed the law.
Mr. BURRELL asked how far the baker bad of.
fended ? The applicant said that he had sold bread
upon the Sunday morning ; and that the cheeserannger,
who was in fact a general dealer, sold several articles
during church time.
Mr. BURRELL said that as the baker did not serve
in church time, and what he sold was an absolute Pei
cessity, he should not issue a summons against him, bu •
the applicant might take one against the cheesemongerious
[Mr. Burrell deserves great praise for the judic
view he takes of complaints brought before him. lie
was the first Magistrate who displayed anything like
common sense respecting the absurd interpretation
given to the clause of the Police Act, about shutting LIP
public-houses at l 2 on Saturday night.]

JURISPRUDENCE.—John Richard Quain, University

The University Law Scholarship (504 a year, for

It is confidently rumoured that Sir John Owen's
pecuniary embarrassments have reached to such an ex-
tent that it will be necessary for him to resign the re-
presentation of the county of Pembrok as soon as the
meeting of Parliament will allow. In that case the
county and the boroughs contained in it will probably
be represented at the next election by Liberal and Whig
Members; and Sir James Graham, at present M.P. for
Pembroke, will be returned to the place from which he
came. It is also expected that the Lord Lieutenancy
of Pembrokeshire, now held by Sir John Owen, will
necessarily be resigned by him, and given to some person
of more liberal sentiments.—Globe.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT BUCKINGHAM PA-

falling the unfortunate man pitched upon his head. On
being picked up he was conveyed immediately to West-

COUNTRY PRODUCE.

COTTON.—The prices now prevailing vary very little
from those current about a month ago, the best Broach
being held at Rs. 133, and more ordinary at Rs. 130
per candy. It is generally supposed that the crop of
183940, should it escape blights in December, and
January will be an abundant one, the season having been
very favourable.

OPIUM (Maleva).—We regret to perceive by the last
Govt. Gazette that the annual advertisement has again
been re-published, although 11,000 chests still lie in the
warehouses here, a he Ary source of anxiety to their
owners. About 150 chests have lately been shipped on
the Mary Gordon loading for the Eastward, but none,
we may observe, is changing hands. The nominal
price is Rs. 520 per chest.
PEPPER.—Both Bhutkola and Malabar are at pre-
sent scarce in the market, but arrivals are shortly ex-
pected. Prices are almost nominal at about Rs. 80 and
Rs. 76 per candy.
London, England, 1839-12-03

PERGIAN AND ARABIAN GULP PRODUCE.

COFFEE (MOCHA),—Arrivals by buaglahs have taken
place, and prices have risen to Its. 13 per maund for
the best parcels, at which one of 100 bags has been pur-
chased within the last few days. Much wastage is
experienced this season in cleaning.
CHINA AND STRAITS PRODUCE.

SUGAR.—Stocks are now lower than they have been
for some years, the market having been cleared of Ma-
nilla and China with a trifling exception ; while except-
ing Siam, there is none of any amount in the place, but
supplies are on their way from Calcutta.
CASSIA.-200 boxes, lately arrived from Macao, have
been sold at 61 anias per lb. Toe market was pre-
viously quite bare.
Gids.—Arrivals of Arabic have taksn place but
prices have been little affected, the best garbled being
procurable at Its. 20 to Its. 21 per Cwt.—Stocks of
Olibanum, Anime and Myrrh are low at present, but
the season for fresh arrivals is at hand and they are
only in moderate inquiry.
