MIDDLESEX.
The BARRTSTER yestertlay revised the City Paracbial
Lists in alphabetical order, down to the letter L.
Mr. William How, the. Mayor of Shrewsbury ; Mr.
John Rand. of Guildford ; Mr. Edgar Smith, Rue
Basso du Rampart, Paid ; Mr. Perceval Walsh, sen.,
and Mr. Perceval Walsh, jun., of Oxford, all of whom
claimed for shares in the 'Legal and General Insurance
Office, Fleet-street, wore objected to by the Reformers.
Mr. Coppock observed that this was a second edition
of the Green Dragon-alley affair, disclosed at Lime.

knew them to be, couldialjow their names to be placed
on the list, and yet not 4pear to defend their claims
when, objecet4sar=olitad . He

those claims-had emanated from his friend Mr. Adey,
but was inclined to think they had been concocted at a
certain place in Chancery-lane, which was supposed to
be an institution for the diffusion of legal knowledge.—
(Laughter.)
Mr. Adey would make but a single observation.
Every one of those gentlemen had claimed for the city,
and had been placed on the register as occupiers ; they
therefore thought they were entitled to h county vote,
but he (Mr. Adey) must admit that as they were only
shareholders, they, could not he considered as having a
freehold interest. It was clear, however, these were
not fraudulent claims.
Mr. Coppock—No, they are only impudent claims.—
(Laughter.)
The names of Messrs. How, Rand, Walsh, sen.,
and Walsh, jun., were expunged, service of notice of
objection at their respective places of abode having been
proved,.but in consequence of Mr. Edgar Smith residing
in Paris, the notice of objection to him was served on
the porter of the Insurance Office, which Mr. Coventry
did not consider good service, and his name was
retained.

Duchess of Bedford and Sir Henry Mildmay arrived in

Mit. WAKLEY AND THE PoLit

MAGISTRATES.

An inquest was held on Thursday, at one o'clock,
before Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Angel, High-street,
Bloomsbury, on the bones of a male child, found on the
22d instant in the beck cellar of No. 55, Monmouth.-
street. Two persons have been in custody since
Saturday on a charge of child funnier, reinaed..d
by Mr. Combo, of Hattoe-garden Pfeice Court, mail
,a-merrow. T it. y have been commitn'd (casaelly
so for the present) to the New Prison, Cierken-
well. The mother of the child, on whose sup-
posed bones the inquest was held yesterday, and
whose name is Frances Brummercombe, of 31, Graf-
ton-street East, Fitzroy-square, was charged on Sa-
turday kst by a friend named Mary Christenson with
destroying, some time in the month of September last,
a male infant, born in August, and depositing the body
in the place where the bones were found. The charge
was preferred on the mother's own avowal, who, when
before Mr. Combo, recriminated on her accuser, and
charged her with having poisoned the child. In con-
sequence of this cross-accusation they were remanded
for a week. Sergeant Parke found in the spot indicated
by Christenson the bones of an infant, and yester-
day he produced before the Coroner two witnesses,
the one a medical student, who delis ered Brummer-
combo of a male child on the 25th of August ; and
the other a woman who was present at the ac-
couchement, and who, besides, deposed that in
about three weeks after the mother, . accompanied
by Christenson, took the child out one morning, anti
never brought it back. Mr. Wakley yesterday, unwil- •
hng to hear ex parte evidence in the absence of the pri
sr-friers, sent a note (adjourning the inquest until tour
o'clock) to the Governor of the New Prison, Clerken
requesting h]rn to produce them in the Coroner',
Court. In the absence of the Governor, his Clerk told
the Coroner's messenger that he could not part with
hem without. an order from the Committing Magis- '
:e de, to whom the messenger applied ; and was
told by Mr. Mailett, Clerk to the Magistrates at
Hatton-garden, that ref such. order would be given,
aid that the Keeper of the New Prison was
eld responsible by them to produce the pr-
inners on Saturday in their Court. Upon this deter-
:nination of the Magistrates having been communicated
to the Coroner, he said that he had no power over the
Theistrates, except by ant of haFeas corpus, and that.
as he unoerstood there was no evidence to produce
which would prove to whom the le:nes belonged, he
ould advise the Jury to re, urn the following verdict :
—" That the bones now produced of an infant were
mood in a cellar in Monmouth-stre-t, but to whom the..
ealonged, and by whom there placed, there was at pre-
sent no evidence to show." The foreman, in signing
his verthet, said it was unsatisfactory to him and others
of the Jury. The Coroner said that there was no help
f'or it, and that, if justice should hereafter require it,
the inquest could be quashed, and another substituted.

adroit time-serving, that brings these things about.
So much for " honest Izaak Walton," whom—with
due deference to Mr. Jesse, be it said—we con•
ceive to have been one of the slyest and astutest
Cocknies, ever born within the sound of Bow-bells.
" Greenwich and Greenwich men" speaks of Nelson in
the reverent terms in which we like to see great mea
spoken of. The sketch of the Pensioner has all the fresh-
ness and spirit of a transcript direct from the life. In
" Colin Clink" we meet with a graphic portrait of a
female singer at a metropolitan tea garden. " The
Hair and Beard," by Mr. Charles Mackay—whose
clever volume of poems we shall take an opportunity
of noticing by and bye—gives an amusing account of
the changes of fashion in this respect. But he might
have advantngeously widened the sphere of his re-
searches, and noticed the curtailment of the queue
which Soult and Augereau projected in some of the
French regiment, and which nearly caused a mutiny.
Washington Irving mentions a similar curtailment as hav-
ing been attempted by " William, the Testy," with
his New York soldiers, one of whom died of sheer
grief for the loss of his beloved pig-tail. " Stanley
Thorn " is lively, but there is rather too much of him
this month. Enough is as good as a feast. The " Il-
lumination " is just a passable piece of rhymed humour.
We cannot say more for it.

,c ASTROLOGICAL" DEATH.

.--g-

On Saturd ly forenoon an inquest was held before Mr.
Waklcy, M. P., at the Crown, Cloudesley-square, Isling-
ton, on 01,2 body of Susannah Harvey, aged 6'), who died
on the day predicted by a caster of nativities.
Sarah Naylor—l have known deceased for upwards of
seven years. She was possessed of a small income, which
she augmented by following the occupation of a h undress.
,She %%as a widow, and I used to come to her residence
every day to perform the rough part of the household
work. The whole of Monday last she complained of
headache; and when I went to her house on the following
morning, I found her in bed rather poorly, but I did not
think there was anything serious the matter with her.
However, she grew rapidly worse, and though a surgeon
was called in, she died at noon on the 221 inst.

In answer to the jury—On the Saturday and Monday
previous to her death, she was occupied in dividing the
chief part of her property among her relations, friends,
and neighbours. On the morning of the 21st she went
out for a short time, and on her return she took off her
bonnet and shawl, and forced thq acceptance of them on a
neighbour, saying, " I shall not need them any lo.nger ; I
shall be dead and buried on the 26th of January." As
she was on the point of death, she requested me to call on
Mr. Barnes, the undertaker, to whom, she said, she had
given directions relative to her funeral.
Mr. Barnes—On Monday night last deceased called on
me, and gave me 30s. towards the expenses of her funeral.
I then remarked to her that she appeared in better health
and more likely to live long than I did. She said she felt
convinced that the day of her death was at hand, and made
me take the money.
Charlotte Mason—Deceased told me that she had had
her nativity cast about seven years ago, when the " astro-
nomer" predicted that the term of her existence would be
" filled up?' by the 23d of January, 1840.
The CORONER—These singular statements make me
suspect something wrong, and with your concurrence I
shall now order the body to be opened. The effects of
arsenic arc far more decisive and precise than astrological
predictions.
Mr. Leslie, a surgeon, then opened- the body, and said
that he had not found any remains of poison in the stomach,
the contents of which he bad not, however, submitted to
the tests of strict analysis. He found considerable effu-
sion of blood on the brain, which, be thought, might have
caused death.

The CORONER-1 shall cause the contents of the stomach
to be rigidly analysed, and I think, therefore, you had
better return an open verdict.
The Jury, acting upon this suggestion, recorded that
" Deceased died of effusion of blood upon the brain, but
what was the cause of that effusion there was at present no
evidence to show."

motion which he was convinced, whatever might be its fate,
would meet with the approbation of all thinking classes.
He believed he spoke the sentiments of the great consti-
tueney that he represented when he stated that the present
state of the country. required a strong Government_a
Government which would unite men of education, and
the best wishes of both Houses of Parliament-_a Govern-
ment composed of men, who, by their talent, character,
end influence would be enabled to carry on the affairs of
tLie Government with success. The present course of
af-
fairs, as he had before said, required a strong Government,
and when he came down to that House, at the commence-
ment of the debate, he confessed that he thought no indi-
vidual on the other side of the House would have had the
hardihood to assert that the present Government was en-
titled to that designation. He was satisfied that a weaker
or a more inefficient Government never presided over
the destinies of a great nation than the present.
It could not be denied that the voluntary principle was the
principle upon which the Government meant to act, but
they did not think the time had yet arrived: when" they
