CORONERS' INQUESTS.

Yesterday a Coroner's Inquest was taken before Mr.
WILLIAM CAI:TER, Coroner for Surrey, at the Hero of
Waterloo, in the Waterloo-road, on the body of John Am-
bridge, aged.s9, who was found in the Belvidere-road.
The foreman inquired of the Coroner how it was that
no jury had been summoned before that day, when the (I.e-
-ceasNi had died on Wednesday last ?
The Co aoNER replied, that it was only on Friday last a
messenger came to him at Kingston, and not from the pa-
rish authorities, who were the persons who legally should
have communicated with him.

Foreman—Then if you had not promiscuously heard of
this case, as of others which are now awnitin an enquiry
before you, we should have had no inquest ?
ColloNilia—l suppose not.
Forethan—Then, by what authority are we summoned ?

CORONER—By my. ttithority. I had certain information
given me, upon which I wrote to the, parish authorities,
stating that they ought to have sent me notice.
Juror—Until this day it was usual to have the beadle:;
employed. Now he perceived that. Mr. Smith, the pa-
rochial constable, had the superintendence.
Mr. Smith said that the Chairman of the Board of
Guardians, Mr. Shadbolt, had ordered the beadles not to
interfere any further in the matter.

Juror—Since the new Poor Law Act has come into ope-
ration the beadles are no longer sent, but messengers.
CORONER-Still they are constables, 'and have as much
right to interfere as another parish officer.
Juror—Then is this alteration the effect of the ne►v Poor
Law Amendment Bill ?

CORONER—Yes, from information given to me it appears
that the Board of Guardians have ordered the beadles not
to give me any more notice, becauac they account them as
their messengers.
Juror—lt is a pity but what they had let the practice
remain as it was.

CORONER—There is now a body of a new-born child,
which has been buried, having been found on Kennington
Common, on Monday, on which I am to hold an inquest
this day.
Several Jurors cried " Shame !"

CORONER—An inquest ought to have been held last
Monday, as now, from its state of decomposition, a post
mortent examination would not be likely to lead to satis-
factory results.

The evidence was then taken, when it appeared that the
deceased, who was a horse-dealer, on Wednesday-night last,
between five and six o'clock, was found in the Belvidere-
road in a state of insensibility. He was taken to the Green
Dragon, where he was attended by Mr. James Cooke, sur-
geon, Bridge-street, Westminster, who found life extinct,
stating that he had died of apoplexy.
Verdict—" That the deceased died by the visitation of
God."

The distinguished party who have been sojourning'
for the last fortnight at Oakley Park, the agreeable resi-
dence of Sir Edward and Lady Kerrison, in Suffolk, sepa-
rated on Friday. On the preceding day the festivities
concluded with a rustic fete, when upwards of 200 cottage
and other tenants dined in the park ; there was an abund-
ance of good old English fare, and the festive scene did not
terminate till late in the evening. The allottment system,
which has been some length of time in operation on Sir
Edwardss estates, appears to be attended with great success

STATE OF NEWGATE.—On Saturday the Gaol
Committee met at Guildhall upon special summons, to
take into consideration the report of the Sheriffs relative to
Newgate, Alderman Venables in the Chair. Under Sheriff
Wire stated that the expense of altering the prison to the
full satisfaction of the Sheriffs would amount to 8931. He
then exhibited a plan, specifying the changes which he
stated would remedy the capital defects of the prison; pro-
vided it was merely used as a place of security before trial.
The King of Holland is about to undertake a journey
of inspection of all his fortresses. He remains still uncom-
promising on the subject of Belgium.

The estates belonging to the Corporation of Hun-
tingdon were sold on Saturday, and realised only 2,2051.
The Earl of Sandwich was the principal purchaser. The
sum is not sufficient to pay off the outstanding demands
against the Corporation, and they do not appear to have any
means of raising the deficiency.--Canzbridge Chronicle.

Between four and five o'clock, on Saturday morn-
ing, a destructive fire broke out in the warehouse of Messrs.
Clayton and Thomas, sugar refiners, Lower Deptford,
and in about an hour the premises were reduced to little
better than a heap of ruins, part of the exterior walls only
remaining standing. The fire was confined to the ware-
house in which it originated, it being fortunately almost an
isolated building. We have not been able to ascertain how
the fire originated.

In consequence of the measures of the Bank of
England for raising the rate of discount, the Bank Com-
mittee at Vienna have had an extraordinary meeting to de-
termine whether this example should be followed. The
Committee has resolved to make no change.—Allgenzeine
Zeilung.

Wm. Marsden, Esq., LL.D. F.R.S., who recently
died, in his 82d year, at the Edge Grove, Aldenham, was
author of several well-known works connected with the
history and languages of the East. His family were of
Derbyshire extraction, but he himself was born in Ireland,
and went to India at an early age. Soon after his return to
this country he published " The History of the Island of
Sumatra." About 1795 he was appointed second Secre-
tary to the Admiralty, by Lord Spencer. After his retire-
ment from public life, in 1807, ho resumed the studies of
his youth, and has left behind him a number of publications
which are all well known to the Orientalist. Since the
death of Lord Stowell he has been the senior member of
the club which was founded by the great lexicographer,
Dr. Johnson, Edmund Burke, and Sir Joshua Reynolds,
and known by the honorary designation of " The Club."
Mr. Marsden some time ago exhibited'a not very common
instance of patriotism, in voluntarily resigning a pension of
1,500/. a-year, which had been bestowed on him as the re-
ward of his public services.

AN INDIAN COOK.—Sir George N—t, a Gene-
ral Officer, many years of whose life had been spent in
both Indies, had once in his establishment a black cook, an
admirable artist, who could not, amongst other things, be
equalled in the composition of stuffing a turkey. One day
Sir George gave a dinner—it was, we believe, in the East
Indies—and a dindon, as usual, graced his table. " The
bird is fine," said the guests, " but, if we may presume to
remark it, the force-meat is not so delicate and good as
usual." " And I can tell you the reason why," replied Sir
George ; " my famous old cook is dead, and the fellow who
supplies his place has, unfortunately, no teeth far, my dear
friends, you must know that the far-famed, deliciousforce,
meat of my late lamented chef de cuisine obtained its per-
fectibility by being always minced in his mouth."—.:3lirror.

The very spirited statue of the great Prince —of
Conde, upon the Bridge of Concord, leading to the Cham-
ber of Deputies, at Paris, in which he is represented as
casting his Marshal's baton iuto the enemy's lines, as a sti-
mulant to his soldiers to recover it, but which, when it was
erected, the Quotidienne made a joke uFon, as if the ensign
was flung in derision at the Ciiuber, is to be removed to
Versailles, where it will be placed by the side of that of
Louis XIV., in the Court of Honour. The statuary of the
Pont do la Concorde, though perhaps a little colossal for its
situation, is very characteristic and impressive. The portrait
of Sully is very striking,

PRINCE POLIONAC.—This distinguished prisoner
has addressed the following letter to the Chief Editor of the
Courier Francois :—Ham, Oct. 11, 183 G.—" Sir, in your
Paper of the 7th inst., you mention a visit, which you say
was lately paid by M, Gauthier to the ex-Ministers, con-
fined at 11ant, M. Gauthier, with whom I AM not ac-
quainted, has, in fact, been here, but he ,only visited one of
the prisoners, and I am not that ace t consequently the de-
tails of the conversation which you mention cannot regard
me : neither do those reports contained in your Paper of
the 7th inst, If, during the bard trials I am subjected to
by Providence, I carefully a avoid a vain, pueliio, and os-
tentatious display of firmness, believe, Sir, that I am not less
able to support my long-sutreriN,, with the calm courage
befitting a man of honqu, 1 beg you will insert tilisletter
in your next number, and receive the aSSIIVIIIOO of my distin-
guished oonsideration.—Prince PQLIGNAC."
LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.—The Liverpool news-
papers have alwai4 boon in the habit of publishing a second
edition, oontaining the corn-market reports, by which
means the corn-markets of Ireland, and other parts of the
kingdom, are put in possession of the prices of corn at
Liverpool much earlier than they otherwise would be.
Such an arrangement has never benefitted the Liverpool
Press one farthing, the second edition being merely for the
accommodation and information of the public generally.
The Liberal gentlemen, however, at the head of klairi,
wild prate so frequently about the liberty of pr.ess, the
air We breathe, and so forth, lutye jti tbeir wisdom con-
sidered the publishing ;
IMportant piece of informa-
tion in A tlg,cc\r,ici .€‘4lon as too great a liberty, and have
ordered their. stamp, distributors to issue the llowing cir-
cular, which has heen served oil 41Aa proprietors of each
paper. This is Auqcbq s ejtitCn of the practioal liberality
of the_Wl.i.iss

§irk-1 d. ireted ;c1 'Aequalnt you that the Commis-
sioners pf *MP ah3d TaAjes consider the reports of the corn,

jecting every advertisement in such, edition to he charged
