ALLEGED DEATH OF A CHILD PROM CRIMINAL
ASSAULT.—On Wednesday last an inquest was held at
the Grand Turk, Ludgate-hill, on the body of a girl,
named Mary Dockery, eight years of age, daughter of
John Dockery, a labourer, residing in Slaney-street,
whose death was alleged to have taken place in conse-
quence of a criminal assault committed on her person by
an Irish labourer, named Martin Hogan, also residing in
Slaney-street. From the evidence of the mother of the
deceased, it appeared that she had sent the deceased out
for some ale on the night of Friday last, and that she
did not come back until nearly three quarters of an hour
had elapsed, when one half of the ale was gone, and she
appeared very ill, and said she had been knocked down,
and kinked on the back by an Irishman. She shortly
afterwards went up stairs to bed, but could not sleep
during the night, crying frequently, and she continued
in a very distressed state during the whole of the next
day, in the course of which she reluctantly made a
statement to her mother, by which she implicated Martin
Hogan as the causeof her illness, and he was accordingly
taken into custody. She continued in the same state
until Tuesday morning, when she died. A post mortem
examination was made, and from the appearances not
the least trace was observable of any violence having
been used towards her. The Coroner having directed
the attention of the jury to the fact that there was

COPPER ORE, &C., IMPORTED.—An account just
printed in consequence of the directions of the House of
Commons, shows that the net amount of duty paid on
foreign copper (exclusive of ore) retained for home con.
sumption in the United Kingdom, was 758/. ss. 6d. in
1824; and that in 1837 it had increased , to 3 467/. 185.8 d.,
the duty being last year 1,7621 7s. 83. The duty re-
ceived on copper ore, so imported, was, last year,
54,0561. Is.; whereas in 1825, only 7s. Gd. was received
from that source.
PINES.—A remarkable horticultural feat has been
gardener of Lady Rolle, who has performed by the
suc-
ceeded in ripening pine apples in the open air, in Devon-
shire. Atter the fruit was set in May last, the pots
containing the plants were placed in a trench, which was
seltered by banks from cold winds, end covered with
charred hay • and so successfully did these expedients
counteract the cold of our climate, that the pine apples
are said to have been of excellent quality.
The Earl of Auckland, First Lord of the Admi-
rz.ll, has returned to town from Portsmouth, where his
Lordship, with the other Lords, has been making an

FRAN CE.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.

The Journal des Debats contains a long article in
which it declares itself in favour of the cause of re-
form in Italy, and expresses its astonishment that
while such persons as M. Guizot and M. Rossiare,
the directors of the policy of France, in regard to
the Italian affairs, there could have been any doubt
as to the liberality of the views taken by the French
Government upon that subject. The Dikes calls
upon the Italians to repudiate the wild ideas of the
ultra-Liberals in other countries in Europe, and to
trust to their own good sense and the enlightened
feelings of their rulers for safe and moderate reform.
Had this been the first time the Dibeits had spoken
out upon the march of affairs in Italy, the article
in question might be considered pretty satisfactory,
notwithstanding some internal symptoms of insin-
cerity. The Debdts applies to Italy the specious
but fallacious doctrines of M. Guizot with respect
to France. iln his speech to the electors of
Lisieux, M. Guizot told his constituents that
" every party in France could promise them reform,
but that the Conservatives were the only party to
give it," and he followed up that speech by declar-
ing, in answer to M. Duvergier's speech in favour
of electoral reform, that reform of any kind was
not required, and that he, for one, would not con-
sent to its being granted. In the same way the
Debats declares itself, in the abstract, in favour of
reform in Italy ; but it tells the Italians not to take
their notions of reform from reformers, but from the
absolute governments, which are the instruments of
oppression of which they complain. The Debats
well knows, that as long as
should people look to such
sources for amelioration there is no great danger
of the reformers being alarmingly extensive. We
_
be glad to see some surer signs of the
kindly feelings
of the French Government in favour
of the liberal tendencies of Italy than the mere
verbal assurance of the Dibats. We cannot help
suspecting
that the same policy which has induced
M. Guizot to interfere so unfairly and so unwar-
rantably in the affairs of liberal Switzerland, will
on the first favourable occasion that offers, be car-
ried out in regard to the Italinn Liberals also. In
no one of the countries in which the influence of
France is felt, has M. Guizot hitherto exercised it
for any than the narrowest, the most illiberal, and
the most egostical of motives, and we see no reason
why Italy should be an exception to all the other
cases. We shall. therefore withhold our full confi-
dence in the fine words of the Debats till we find
them supported by acts.
