TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In your paper of this evening I perceive my name in
the list of Members absent from last night's division. ' I re-
quest your immediate correction of this extraordinary
blunder—most extraordinary, indeed, when, in the same paper,
I find my name recorded, as it ought to be, among the ayes.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
M. J. O'CONNELL.

Reform Club, Tuesday Night, April 27, 1841.
[The mistake arose from Mr. O'Connell's name being in-
serted in the list of absentees sent to us. Even the votes are
sometimes in error, and we were left in doubt. —En. Sun.]

ALLEGED UNNECESSARY INQUEST.—Tues-
day an inquest was taken before Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the
Camden head, Camden-Town, on Mr. John Horner, aged 46. a
master baker, of No. 110, High-street, Camden-town. The
deceased had for some time past complained of violent pains in
his head, and on Wednesday evening last he became so bad
that he was compelled' to leave busim'ss and take to his bed.
Abritit seven 'o'clock on the following evening he became
worse, and leeches were applied. He shortly after beCame in-
sensible, and died at half-past nine on Friday morning. Mr.
Williams, surgeon, gave it as h:s opinion that the cause of
death was acute inflammation of the brain. Mr. William
Gitteni, a friend of the deceased's family, complained bitterly
that the feelings of the deceased's widow and family should
have been wounded by an inquisition. The Coroner said, in-
quests were frequently. held through the injudicious conduct of
the friends of a deceased person themselves. A short time
since he was compelled to hold an inquest on a gentleman, in
consequence of his friends having two or three times shut their
door in the summoning officer's face when, in the performance
of his duty, he sought for information. This created a suspi-
cion in the neighbourhood, and the officer had nn alternative
but to send to the Coroner. Verdie`t,- " Natural Death."
CHINA.—The following is an extract of a let-
! ter received here (Greenock), dated Macao, January
You will have heard that the Tokoktow and Chuenpee

forts at the Bogue were taken on the 7th inst., that in the no-
tions there were 700 Chinese killed, that the Chinese after the
action humbugged 'Elliot as usual, by only agreeing to part of
the terms, that Hongkong was yielded to us, and that forts
are to be built to protect it as a British settlement. On the
20th instant MI edict was sent round Macao in the form of a
circular for the information of the merchants here, by Captain
Elliot, containing the preliminary arrangements' between' the
Commissioner and Kcshen. (The terms of these arrangements
are already well known.) Trade is to open ten days after the
Chinese new year (Tvhich is the 23d of January), and the mer-
chants at that time are to proceed up to Whampoa. Elliot
continues as • unpopular as ever among the people of
Macao, on account of his temporising so much. Many
here think that the Chinese are only procrastinating for the
purpose of making preparations for defending their country in-
ternally. It is stated, however,: that Keshen said that he
knew well enough we could take any place we wanted, but that
he would' not sign any paper ceding any place. This I can
readily believe, it appears so accordant with all I have seen of
them. •I do not believe they will pay the money. Like the
Quakers with the Edinburgh Annuity Tax, however, they will
I not resist our taking it. Several vessels are loaded with tea
for Britain, got out of the Kosciusko, one of the two ships
which have been lying up at Whampoa during the whole
blockade. She belongs to Jardine, Matheson, and Co. Her
being allowed to pass has been the subject of sad discussion by
the other merchants, who think it unfair to favour one party
and, not all. The Kosciusko was so crammed that she has
loaded the Lloyd's, the John o'Gaunt, and the Charles Kerr,
all full and packed. These vessels went alongside of her at
Tongkoo, and will sail immediately.— Greenock Advertiser.
SINGULAR DELUSION.—Tuesday afternoon a
Coroner's inquest was held in the Vestry-hall Of the parish of
St. John's, Illorslydown, before Mr. Payne, on the body of
James Baker Welford, aged 35, butler to Richard Watt, Esq.,
a gentleman of large fortune, residing in Fitzroy-square. The
deceased had lived in the family of Mr. Watt, as butler, be-
tween nine and ten years, and was highly respected by every
member of the family. During the last ten weeks:previous to
Easter Sunday, he appeared to be labouring under extreme de-
pression of spirits, although he assigned no cause to any of his
fellow-servants. On the evening of Easter Sunday, as was his
custom; he sat in the kit Chen and read several chapters from the
Bible to-his wife-and fellow-servants.- - While thus engaged, he
left off two cr three times, saying there were 300 or 400 flies fly-
ing about his face, although there was not one to be seen. ' He
likewise said there were a parcel of cats running about the
floor, although this was a delusion ; but so strongly was the
impression fixed upon his mind, that he asked Wm. Coulson,
the foot-boy, to assist him to catch the cats. Between ten
and eleven o'clock, one of the footmen went to call a cab for
a gentleman, who was on a visit to Mr. Watt, and upon the
bell ringing deceased went up to the door without his hat, and
in the course of half an hour he was missed. Nothing, however,
was heard of him until about half-past six o'clock on Sunday
I evening, when acting Inspector Adams, of the Thames Police,
observed a body floating down the river, which he caused to be
lashed to his boat, and rowed it ashore, and upon searching it
he found a letter which led to his identification. The Jury
returned a verdict of " Found Drowned." _

It was served up in the splendid saloon occupying the whole
range of the mansion fronting the Park. Sh)rtly after one the

scat of Lord and Lady Barham, with the intention of passing
the honeymoon at that delightful retreat.

HOW TO SEE YOUR WAY.—Mr. Mackenzie
told me several anecdotes ; one of Lady Yarmouth. She was
at a large dinner, seated at no great distance from a rich clergy-
nr,n, and some bishopric having just fallen in, he carelessly ex-
pressed a wish that he were so lucky as to be named to it.
"Do you expect it?" said she to him. " No, indeed, I do
not," he replied ; I fear lam not so fortunate.."—“ What
say.you .to a bet ?" said'she. " I'll bet you five thousand
pounds that you will get it."—" Done," said the clergyman;
and soon after he had the Vacant see.—Swinburne's Courts of
Europe.
