DOVER, JUKE 13.

Arrived from Boulogne, the Royal George ste4rn-

His MAJESTY the young King of Naples,
during his recent inspection of his troop., was taken so ill
one day in the field, that if a private in the Ilulans Lid
not instantly stepped forward, and applied a lancet to his
arm, it is universally believed that his life would have be:ii
in great danger.

ALLOA REFORMERS.—We cannot give a
better specimen of the spirit of Reform than by recording
the following incident :—/1 certain noble lady, who had
witnessed the procession at Alloa, on the K►NG'S birth-
day, sent the delegates a few pounds to be spent in refresh-
ment.. Much t, their credit, however, they denied them-
selves this gratification, that they might enjoy one'of a
higher order—that of giving the whole amount to chari-
table purposes. The money was Oistributed in equal pro-
portions amongst the following institutions, viz.—the
Female Society, the Charity School, and the Poor Funds.
—Stirling Journal.

We lament to state that O'CoNoR DON lies
dangerously ill at his residence, Ballenegar. The accounts
received in town yesterday supply little hope of his re-
covery. —Dublin Times.
Mr. J. HA KlNS.—One of the most valu-
able speeches on the Reform Bill debate was that of Mr.
JOHN HAWKINS, then Member for St. Michell, Cornwall.
For that speech Mr. Rau-Kiss lost his seat; but we see
happy to find that his valuable services will not be wants d
i❑ the debates on the Bill after the opening of Parliament,
as it is understood he will be returned for Tavistock as sot n
as Lord JOHN RUSSELL, by his election of Devonshire as
the place for which to sit, vacates that borough.
THE NEW PARLIAMENT.—AS much in-
justice has on different occasions marked the Newspaper
Reports of the Speeches of obnoxious Members both on the
Ministerial and Opposition sides, the ATLAS, being neutral
and independent of party, may he accepted as a faithful
Record of the Parliamentary Proceedings of our times.

There are now plying between this port and
New York some of the finest packet-ships in the world.
The President and Ontario are at this time lying in the
London Docks. The former will leave to-morrow, with
his Excellency Louts M‘LANE and family, the late Ameri-
can Minister to the Court of St. James's. The cabins of
these two ships are fitted up in a style of elegance not
equalled by any drawing-room in London. They are
sufficiently capacious to disc with comfort 50 or 60 people
each.

The Gazelle, which sailed from Bahia on the
19th of April, brings adviees that some further disturbances
bad taken place, and several Portuguese had been kiile.l.
It is said upwards of fifty Lad been shot.

On Sunday last, June 12, at St. Mary, Strat-
ford, Bow, Middlesex, without any adequate notice, the
sum of 251. Is. 61 was collected for the distressed Irish,
after sermons preached in their behalf.

We have heard nothing further of the Russian
Pole-murdering-loan to-slay, but we understand the id, a
has not been abandoned. The Times of this morning
says that " the Warsaw Bank, at the breaking out of the
Revolution, held an inscription of Russian six per cent.
stock to the amount of 30,000,000 paper rubles.
Orders have, however, it is said, been issued to the
Treasury at St. Petersburgh, not to pay any dividends on
the stock held by the Warsaw Bank—and, further, not
to allow the transfer of is, or any portion of it, to other
hands. This proceeding is the more flagrant, as there is,
we believe, an express clause in all the Russian loan con-
tracts, that no circumstances whatever, either of war or
otherwise, shall he made a plea by thte Russian Govern.
silent for not fulfilling its share of the contract. No
honourable capitalist throughout Europe, we conceive,
will engage in a treaty for a new loan to Russia until this
matter is satisfactorily explained." The matter is
certainly a reason why no capitalist should lend his money
tc a Government capable of such had faith ; but the great
reason against a new loan to Russia is the purpose to
which it is to be applied. If "he who allows oppression
shires the crime," what is he who not only allows it, but
actually aids and abets murder, for the purpose of carry-
ing it on? The passage which we have quoted from the
Times, we understand, is perfectly correct ; indeed we
have heard that the St. Petersburgh Bank has refused to
pay the dividends on stock held by private individuals.
We shall have something more to say in a few day rela-
tive to raising of loans fur Russia and other despotic States.
The practice must be put an end to.--.horning Herald.

A rumour is very prevalent in the City, to the
effect that France and England have at length determined
to interfere on behalf of the Poles. It is said that Casinum
PERIF.a has informed the Court of Russia that, if the Em-
peror will stot admit of mediation, he will be compelled to
submit to an interference—that, in s4ort, France is deter-
mined to see the Treaty of 1814, with regard to Poland,
carried into effect. Such are the reports, and, though we
cannot pledge ourselves as to their accuracy, yet we have
pretty good reason to think that they are not devoid of
truth. We know, indeed, that negociations on the sub-
ject have been going on between the French and English
Governments for some time past, and it is understood
that the best understanding subsists between them. The
reports are rendered very proltable from the circumstance
of the great naval force which is now ready for sea. We
have, indeetip ;little doubt that the fleet under the com-
mand of Adtniill CODRINGTAN it destined for the Baltic;
and this is the opinion of the officers of the different ships.
'l'he following ships of war are now lying at Spithead,
ready for sea at a moment's notice ; while it will be seen
from the subjoined list that a number of others are in the
habour fitting out : —Caledonia, 120 guns; Prince
Regent, 120 ; Asia, 84.; Donegal, 78 ; Wellesley,
74 ; Revenge, 76 ; Alfred, 50 ; Barham, 50; Briton,
46 ; Pearl, 32 ; Wasp, 18 ; Brisk, 10. In the har-
bour, fitting for sea :—Spartiate, 76 guns ; Royal
George, 120 ; Samarang, 28 ; Rattlesnake, 28 ;
Tweed, 28 ; Childers, 18 ; Victor, IS ; Recruit, 10 ;
Charybdis, 10. These ships, by blockading the Baltic
ports, would soon bring the Autocrat to his senses. Let
the Nobles be deprived of a market for their tallow and
other produce fur a few months, and they will read their
Imperial Master a moral lesson which he will not soon
forget.. Morniny Herald,

;Aided without the ceremony of a Coroner's in-

rlainly me4sed out by the Statute Law of the land,
tad by invariable practice, that if the remains of the
°
the " brave Highlanders" have been
iorance of the law. The Statute of the 4th Ed-
it
.card 1., de officid Coranataris, makes it imperative
nedt;eiltoeure;sttl shot

account
such p voi on
hat when any person is slain, or dies suddenly, or
in prisim, the Coroner shall inquire concerning the
manner of his death ; that he shall sit at the place
.chore the death happened, super vista?! corporis, and
that the into iS to be made by a Jury summoned
.whom he is to preside. The strict exercise of this
from four, five, or six of the neighbouring towns, over
i!dice of the Cormier is necessary, not only to as-
ceita'n the cause arc' manner of th death of any
if the king's subjc:ts who have died under the
circumstances aforementioned, but also to enable
the Coroner to certffe whether any deodande ce
other forfeitures have been ieeurred ; for if any per-
sons be found guilty by the Coroner's inquest of
murder or homicide, the Coroner is not only to issue
his warrant to commit them to prison for final trial;
but he is also to inquire cowering their lands, goods,
urd chattels, which are thereby forfeited. In some
cases the deodand or forfeiture for homicide accrues
to the Crown—in others to the lord of the franchise;
and it is die duty of the Coroner to certify the
whole of his inquisition on those matters, together
with the evidence, under his own seals and the seals
of the jurors, to the Court of King's or to
the next Assizes. The performance of those so-
lemn duties is mere essentially requisite in the case
of the King's subjects being pet to death by the
military thin in any other, because nothing tends
more to the subversion of a free state than the san-
guinary exercise of military power, whatever may
be the provocation. The municipal laws in this
country are particularly severe against rioters and
disturbers of the peace, and therefore it is the less
necessary to put down rioters by military execu-
tion. Accord ng to the excessively penal provisions
of the Riot Act, all rioters continuieg together
for an hour after it has been read, render them-
selves liable to the pains and penalties of felony.
It then becomes a question whether all, or, at least,
some of those persons, among whom, it was said,
were several women, who were shot at Merthyr,
might not have been apprehended and dealt with
according to the civil laws, instead of being de-
stroyed in promiscuous carnage by military execu-
tion ? It should be kept in mind that the soldiers
who fired on the crowd so long, and with so fatal
an effect, were securely posted at the windows den
tot; and though it be true t brit the populace at-
tempted to disarm some of the soldiers who formed
the guard outside the door, we have not beard
of any a'tempt having been made to take the inn
itself by assault or sir rm, and to endanger the lives
of the soldiers who occupied it as a fortress. If
this dreadful catastrophe had been the result, as it is
now stated, of an endeavour on the part of one or
more of the bon-masters to lower the rate of wages
at the present tune, it makes inquiry still mote
requisite. It is too bad that the lives of so many
human beings, if that statement be true, should be
sacrificed to the cupidity of any man, or set of
men. There is no doubt that the soldiers acted
according to orders, but the country ought to know
who gave those ord,N, and under what cii.eutn-
stances they were given. We should like to see a
I st of the widows and orphans who have to deplore
this dreadful transaction. It the Magistrates, the
masters, and the soldiery, be free from blame, in-
quiry will exculpate them, and distinguish the inno-
cent from the guilty. If, however, it should be true
that the bodies have been interred without a Coro-
net's inquest, the Coroner is responsible to the law,
and the relatives and friends of the parties are not
precluded from presenting bills of indictment for
homicide, if they can undertake the expense of legal
proceedings, to the Grand Jury at the ensuing
Assiz s. The advantage of a Coroner's inquisition
is, that if a bill of indictment, preferred to a Grand
Jury, be ignored, the accused may still he arraigned
and tried on the Coroner's " inquisition," which
is the finding of the Coroner's Jury drawn up in
form, and signed and sealed by the Coroner arid the
Jurors. It is particularly important that the most
solemn investigation, both in Courts of Justice and
in the high Court of Parliament, should take place
in such cases, lest military power should, in course
of time, become too formidable to be consistent
with the preservation of the liberties of a free State,
or the people should become so familiar with beetles
of blood as to rely more upon the sanguinary exer-
cise of their strength than upon the impartial dis-
pensation of equal laws, We prejudge not this/
case, but public justice demands that it shall be
thoroughly investigated.—Morning Herald.
A correspondence has taken place between Lord
Thomas Cecil (the brother of the Marquis of
Exeter) and his friend, and Mr. Teneyson and his
friend, on the subject of some expressions used by
the lot er dining the late furiously contested election
at Stamford. It seems, that to the ears of Lord
Exeter, Lord T. Cecil, and others, 311.. Tennyson
had seemed to speak of the Noble Marquis as " un
execrable man," and had used other language de-
rogatory to his Lordship or the family of which he
is the chief. Lord T. Cecil (we know not why be
appears, rather than his brother, the person most
offended) takes up the quarrel, and to an application
on the subject by Major Watson, tire friend of Lord
Thomas, Mr. l'ennyson replied that he had not
used the words " execrable man" attributed to him;
and with respect to the rest of the offence with
which he was charged, he had sufficiently wiped off
that by a speech which he had made at the close of
the election, in which he regretted " any over-
heated terms into which he had been excited by his
feelings" during the ardour of the contest. This
explanation was satisfactory, and Lord Thomas
Cecil is for a while appeased ; but unfortunately, at
another meeting at Oakham, though Mr. Tennyson
had there actually proposed the health of the Marquis
of Exeter, yet, as he had added that his Lordship
had invaded time rights of the people, and had
expressed the hope that they (the Exeter family)
would " learn from the !esson they had received, to
respect those rights," Lord Cecil, who had read
these expressions in a Morning Paper, is again roused.
An interview takes place between his friend Colonel
Standen and Mr. Maberly, the friend of Mr. Ten-
nyson. The result of t hat interview is, that Mr.
Maberly determines, that these expressions being
merely of a political and not of a personal character,
Mr. Tennyson was not bound to any further expla-
nation, or to render any satisfaction in the field.
Colonel Standen's opinion was different : he thought
that Mr. Tennyson ought either to retract the ex-
pression.," or be prepared to defend them." Mr.
Tennyson having placed his honour in the hands of
his friend, is bound to abide by his decision.—Times.
We have given, under the head of " Hamburg
Papers," the most recent .notices of the state of
affairs in Poland. It seems evident from these ac -
counts that the main armies of the Poles and the
Russians remained, at the beginning of the present
month, in the same positions which they took up
immediately after the battle of Ostrolenka, on the
26th ult. The Polish Commander-in-Ch'ef has
received some reinforcements of new levies, and has

g:ve a powerful stitnulus to b

iltt the rear of the Russian main army. The steps
taken by the Polish Provisional Government, the
Polis a Diet, and the Polish troops, with regard to
the Russo-Polish provinces, are more important even
than their own rising against their Imperial op-
pressor. They have decreed that the brethren of
the ancient kingdom who declare against the
Czar shall be considered as their fellow-citizens,—
shall be accepted intc their political union, and
shall be assisted and protected by every resource
at their command. They have sent corps of
their army to provoke insurrection and to assist the
insurgents, and they have addressed to them proela-
mations-in which they are invited to make 'common
cause with the new government for the restoration
of their national existence to its ancient extent.
They thus declare to Russia that they will not be
satisfied now with those concessions witts which they
would have been contented before they drew the
sword,—that instead of restoring the rights of
4,000,000 of people, the Imperial Government must
admit those of 12,000 or 13,000,000, and that, in
fact, Poland must be itself again, as before it came
under the satires of the partitioning despots, at least
so far as the Russian portion (or lion's shore) is
concerned. No negociation can thus he opened for
the re-establishment of Polish independence, which
shall include any proposition to separate the recent
. kingdom of Poland from the Polish provinces
bounded by the Dwina and Dnieper, now incorpo-
rated with Russia. Such an extension of the king-
dom would constitute under a good government
(and the Poles would no longer think of their con-
federacies, their elective monarchy, or their liberuw
veto) a power that would balance the western or
European portion of the Russian empire, Will the
Emperor Nicholas ever accede to such a proposi-
tion, or will the Poles accept of less. Will lie con-
sent to see vassal provinces erected into a rival mo-
narchy, or will they agree to separate tlieniselves
from those whom they have excited to join them,
and consent to be so weak as to be overpowered
and subjugated any moment he pleases? In thin
qu!stion is involved long wars and exterminating
battles, or—European interference.—Tiencs.
The Cashio troop of yeomanry have had their
colours presented to them by the Countess of Veru-
lam. Her Ladyship pronounced no doubt what
was written for her : but in this speech we have
the first threat of violence on the part of the yeo-
manry. Her Ladyship is made to say, that the
country " has other and nearer dangers to avert"'
(than that of foreign invasion) " in the restless and
innovating spirit of the times, and it is from the
miseries that may be produced by this that we"
(the country)" look for your" (the yeomanry's)
" protection." The " restless and innovating spirit
of the times" indicates itself in the Reform Bill.
This is what the speech must mean, for ail view to
change centres itself in that measure. It is
from that Reform Bill, then, that her Lades
ship's friends, the ultra-Tories, look for protec-
tion to the yeomanry ! Peaceful politics! We
subjoin the account from a provincial paper:—
" On Monday last the Cashio troop of yeomanry met
in St. Peter's-street, St. Alban's, to complete the number
of days' permanent duty, and for the purpose of having the
colours presented to them. The troop formed and marched
through the town to Gorhambury-park, the seat of the
Right Hon. the Earl of Verulam. On their arrival they
went through the various military movements in a soldier-
like and orderly manner, and made a very formidable -tap-
pearance. The colours were presented by Lady Verulain,
who appeared in an open carriage-and-tour, and accom-
panied by her amiable daughters, and drew up in front of
the corps; on presenting the colours, her Ladyship spoke
as follows Gentlemen, I feel much pleasure in pre-
senting to you this colour, and more especially as you
have done my son the honour of choosing him for your
commander. Ido not expect that in these times of pro-
mised peace, you will have to settle the broils of nations
on British ground, but we have other and nearer dangers
to avert in the restless and innovating spirit of the times ;
it is from the miseries that may be produced by this that
we look for your protection. Gentlemen, it is the cha-
racteristic of a British yeoman to be brave and loyal.
Under these impressions I place this colour in your bands,
persuaded, that for your own, your families', and your
country's sake, you will keep it unsullied by dishonour.'
The colour was then received by the proper officer, and
her Ladyship drove through the ranks, followed by several
carriages, containing families of distinction, all of whom
expressed their high opinion of the good order and dis-
cipline of the corps. After which his Lordship, with his
usual hospitality, and in the most friendly manner, invited
the troop to cline. Stables were provided for the horses,
and the dinner was set out in the splendid entrance-hall,
and consisted of every substantial and delicacy consistent
with true British hospitality. The wines were of excel-
lent quality, and served in great abundance. After the
cloth was drawn, his Lordship, who sat at the head of the
table, proposed ' The King,' with three times three;
Our most gracious Queen Adelaide,' The Navy and
Army,' and various loyal and patriotic toasts. The glass
circulated merrily, and every member of the troop seemed
satisfied to be a soldier."— Times.
If the magnates of distant corporations cannot
carry all things before them on the hustings, in the
election of Members of Parliament, or cannot en-
sure the certainty that their favourite member, when
chosen, will be able to make good his ground against
those troublesome persons called petitioners, they
do, it must be confessed, take ample revenge on
uch of the King's subjects as pretend to the anti-
, orporate privilege of free agency, whether in the
rendering of votes er the expression of opinions, by
exercising pugnacious and rather outrageous super-
intendence over the public peace. The " loyal and
affectionate" corporation of Carmarthen—sore, we
lament to say, at the present aspect of the Reform
question—have made a war of proclamations, but
in a very termagant manner, and in sesquipedalian
English, upon the refractory lieges of the said town,
for " perambulating the streets, " disturbing public
tranquillity,' " fancying" that they felt " disappro-
bation or hatred," seeking " victims for their licen-
tious waywardness," and other felonies of the like
burglarious nature : to all which the simple answer
is—make the most of your time, my fine fellows: it
is almost ever with you.—Time:.
The recent disturbances in Wales, and the pro-
ceedings in the North of England, are a warning
that ought not to be neglected. The distribution of
the population of England in large masses in the
manufacturing districts, without any cement to bind
together workmen and employers, powerfully de-
mands the attention of all who wish well to their
country. We have been much struck with a small
pamphlet, which we have just received, entitled "An
Inquiry into the State of the Manufacturing Popu-
lation, and the Causes and Cures of the Evils therein
existing." The writer is himself, he tells us,
" friendly to manufactures, and extensively engaged
in them ;" and he is not, therefore, to be suspected
of a " wilful exaggeration of the evils he laments."
His observations have principally in view the
cotton-manufacture, in the form in which it exists
in the towns of Manchester, Bolton, Blackburn,
Bury, Rochdale, Stockport, Stayley Bridge, &c.
The picture which this manufacturer draws of the
condition of the labourers in the cotton-manufac-
ltire\ts truly appalling. He combats the argument
of .Ir. IsliCulloch in favour of the health of manu-
facturers, derived from the comparative mortality of
agricultural and
(he
Raymanufacturing
fars) districts :
Astheyar.attliables of longevity and mortality

the deaths are numerous may be more
if the prevalent diseases
where they are less frequent,
of an acute kind in the first instance, andof ase"re
a chronic
',attire in the second. To exemplify this :
‘• By far the larger proportion of the diseases to which
agriculturists are subjects, are either cases of rheumatism
or of acute inflammation. Inflammatory fevers, the con.
stint effects of exposure to the inclemencies of the weather,
are frequently and rapidly fatal, especially where the patientis in circumstances which preclude him from that degree
of warmth, comfort, and unremitting attention, which,. in
such cases, are indispensible. Acute inflammation, so fre-
quent in country districts, which chiefly attacks those of
robust and plethoric health, if not speedily suppressed by
prompt and vigorous measures, is, most generally, fatal.
Casts of this kind require immediate medical ail, which,l
