tier, and without the inconveniences which might
have been expected.

(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
Two persons died this morning at the infirmary,
one by a sabre wound in the forehead, and the other,
Thomas Morris, shot through the body. Mr.
Grindon is holding an inquest upon them. Other
inquests were held yesterday by Mr. Langley, Co-
roner, when it appeared upon the examination of
Mr. Richard Smith and Mr. Morgan, that Stephen
Bush, wounded on Saturday, was killed by " a
pistol-ball," and a verdict accordingly. Mary Cum-
mins, " burned to death." A man, name unknown,
" died in a state of apoplexy from excessive drink-
ing." This man has since been identified by a gen-
tleman who saw him heading the mob with a paper
in his hand (probably a list of houses, to be at-
tacked) ; he saw him afterwards brought out of the
Mansion-house dead drunk. He is from Birming-
ham.

One of the sabred men had under his coat a
hus•ar's jacket, and his pockets were filled with
broken china, &c. He has been removed by the
constables. A lad, who is severely wounded in the
head, had in his bosom a lady's glove, some chil-
dren's books, some keys belonging to the Custom-
house, and a book with the owner's name upon it.

Around another msn was wrapped a blue silk
shawl, and his pockets were filled with plunder.
This man was maimed by leaping from a burning
house. There was only one woman brought in;
she had been cut by her husband after he returned
home. No female was hurt by the soldiery.
By inquiries at the gaol, we learn that up to
four o'clock this afternoon, about 150
.individuals
have been brought in on suspicion, most of them
having been found with plundered property in
their possession.
Eight inquests on bodies of persons who lost
their lives during the riots have been held by Mr.
Langley; of which two died by excessive drinking,
four were burnt in the square, and two were shot.
A very great number must have lost their lives, of
which we can obtain no account.

It is calculated that no more than half the pre-
sent Commissioners of Bankrupt will claim, or be entitled
to, compensation, and where given it is to cease on the
party obtaining any other appointment of equal value.
The City police would do well to keep their
eye upon the neighbourhood of the Royal Exchange about
dusk, it having become the favourite resort of certain smart
well-dressed members of the " swell mob."
Sir CHARLES WETHERELL made his ap-
pearance in the Vice-Chancellor's Court on Wednesday, and
received the congratulations of his numerous friends on
his recent narrow escape. It is said that a Special Com-
mission will be sent to Bristol to try the rioters.
The friends of Sir CHARLES WETHERELL
are very actively disseminating a report that he did not
proceed to Bristol without first consulting the Home Se-
cretary upon the subject, and whose sanction he obtained.
Whether such was or was not the case we have, of course,
no means of ascertaining.
The road from Battle-bridge to Islington re-
mains in the same disgraceful, indeed now impassable,
state. It is stated that the parties have traversed the
indictment, which means, we suppose, that they have
inney for law, but none foe mending the road.
The London parishes are at length beginning
to do that which they should have done months Rf_7o-ti,
look to the cleansi,g and purifying of the by-streets, lanes,
and alleys in their different districts.
DEAL, Nov. 2.—Arrived last evening, after
post, his Majesty's ship Imogene, and Tweed corvette,
from the North Sea squadron ; and to-day the Coracoa,
Galatea, Tribune, and Stag frigates ; also the Brisk
4un.brig. The fleet, on approaching the Dutch coast,
met with a severe gale of wind and thick weather, conse-
quently the Admiral directed, by signal, each one to take
care of itself, and proceed back and rendezvous in the
Downs. The three line-of-battle ships and the rest of
the squadron are riding off the Galloper Light, to which
place the Onyx ten-gun brig proceeded this afternoon,
with despatches for Rear-Admiral WARREN.

The demand for gold in the North of Europe,
after a partial cessation cf it for some time, has begun to
revive. The quantity removed to-day from the Bank of
England has been very considerable, chiefly, it is supposed,
for Amsterdam, where the very low rate of exchange on
London makes such exportation an operation of some
!nob. We understand that the rate of exchange at
Amsterdam has not been so low fur a very long period as
it is at present. Those remittances, therefore, which are
required for the purchases of Dutch stock lately made here,
are effected to most advantage in bullion, and probably form
the chief source of the new demand which has sprung up.
It is not, however, of that magnitude to excite any uneasi-
ness on the subject.—Times.

TIIE NEW NO VEL.-Mr. COOPER'S New
Woi k " The Bravo" is now occupying the almost exclu•ive

attention of the lovers of fiction. Cooraa," says the
Athentrum, " is an author whom we love—he has a fine
conception of character—a true eye for the picturesque.—
and an art in employing his many-coloured materials at
once striking and original. His heart is alive to all emo-
tions, whether of heroism or pathos—of tenderness or of

sorrow." The gorgeous pageantry—the festivities—the
jealousies, and the intrigues, peculiar to Venice render it of
all spots on the face of the earth best adapted for the
scene of romance. " The Bravo" shows how well Mr.
COOPER has availed himself of these advantages.
THE TENURE OF A BISHOP'S SEAT IN

PA RLIABIRNT —Tile number of Bishops having seats in
the House of Lords is thirty ; namely, the two English
chbishopv, twenty-four English Bishops, and four Irish
Bishops; and they all sit in the House, not as Church-
men, or Peers representing the Clergy, in their various
grades (for theFe are all represented with the eommonalty
in the Lower Houle), but absolutely as soldiers! 1 That

is, as Barons holding certain lands by military tentire
tenants in capite par baronium ; and therefore compelled,
under the feudal system, by which they were creat, d, to
furnish their quota of knights, or men at arms, and do
other military service to the Crown. True it is that all
this has now become Action ; but that alters not the nature
or propriety of a Bishop's tenure to his seat in Parliament.

A tale of scandal is the exclusive topic at pre-
sent in the neighbourhood of Kingstown. A saintly
clerk is one of the parties concerned. The matter, it said,
is likely i:o furnish some of the gentlemen of the long robe
occupation in the ensuing term.—Dublin Evening Post.
JONATHAN'S DESCRIPTION OF A STEAM-
BoAT.—lt's got a saw-mill on one side, and a grist-mill on

At Catskill, N.Y., a crazy man lately attempted
to cut his own throat ; then jumped from the top of a pre-

CHRISTIAN M
the aspersions cast upon the Missionaries to the South Sea
Islands, from various quarters, the religious world will be
happy to learn, that they nave been pursuing their holy
labours for the propagation of the 'Gospel, with a zeal
worthy of the good cause which they have espoused, The
Rev. C. S. STEWART, we hear, in Lis " Narrative of a
Visit to the South Sea Islands," announced for immediate
publication, ably vindicates their pi nceelings, details the
success which has uniEirmly attended their efforts, and de-
scribes the present state of that ;:emote, but highly interest-
ing portion of the globe.

ODD CIRCUMSTANCE.—The following very
singular interruption occurred at a village church, not five
miles south of Yarmouth, iu the afternoon of Sunday, the
23d ult. After the reading Of the Evening Prayers, the
Rector proceeded to the pulpit, for the purpose of preach-
ing the t‘ertnon, which he commenced by annouucing the
text, Hebrews, ch. iii. 14th verse, but had scarce [kept)
the words, " Take ye heed, brethren," when a man, seated
in a pew near the pulpit; exclaimed in a voice loud enough
to be heard by all the congrkiation, " And take you heed,
and bring my two grave-stones home to.morrow !" The
Rector paused and looked queer—most of his auditors
looked queer also ; some smiled, others tittered ; :Ike
Clergyman, however, having overcame his first alarm
(which had nearly changed him from Brows* to white),

proceeded with his sermon. The Gccasion which gave rise
to the above strange scene was, we understand, 46 1.)10W9
—" The worthy incumbent had (for some time past) beef;
in the habit of taking the grave-stones from the church-
yard, for the purpose of paving a biking-office, he having
huilt one on bis parsonage-farm, two of which stones, it
appears, belonged to the person who caused this interruption.
The Rector, we hear, grounds his claim (whether leyally
or otherwise is not for us to say) on a right which, he con-
tends, be Las to tilt stones after i 35 Anglian.
