As we anticipated,
.the attempt to assassinate Lord
Howick is seized upon by a portion of the F_ Press
to ridicule the superior Christian morality claimed by
the Tory Journals for the people of England. The
Sleek even goes the length of saying. that Louis Phi-
lippe is not in as much danger from the Communists as
Queen Victoria is from the Tories. The Bradshaw
Canterbury festival, where the Queen was called a se-
cond Jezabel, and the attempt to assassinate the Queen
in the Green Park supply materials for the castigation of
Tory hypocrisy, of which French writers ably avail
thmselves.

• The Temps has the following account of the disclo-
sures made by the assassin Quenisset:—" Quenisset, after
ret”,tcting his first hasty confession, maintained for a while
a dogged abnegation, but soon agqin made revelations
that were most complete and circumstantial, and on the
strength of which several arrests were made. According
to his depositions, there bas a plot formed for assassinat-
ing all the members of the Royal Family, wherever
they could be met with. The Duke of Orleans was
principally doomed to the blows of the conspirators, be-
cause his death would lead to a Regency, and regencies
are always favourable for revolutions or other disturb-
ances. In order to execute this design, some conspira-
tors were to go to the camp at Co.mpeigne ; but the arri-
val of the 17th regiment, and a report that the Ring and
all the Princes were to go out to meet the Duke
d'Aumale, made them think that fortune had placed a
readier opportunity within their reach, which they ought
not to let slip. The assassins consequently went to the
Place de la Bastille, where they could have more confi-
dence, front the crowd assembled, which would cover the
'attempt, and afford them facilities for escaping after it
was made. Eight members of a society now known to
exist had sworn to fire at the same time as Quenisset,
but he alone kept his oath.. They had all made solemn
pledges not to betray each other, but Quenisset, by the
cowardice of his accomplices in not joining him in the
act, and thereby breaking their engagement with hint,
conceived himself released ,gfrom his obligation towards
them, and made these disclimtres."
The Courrier Francais has an article in answer to the
statements of the Presse on the eastern question. Accord-
to the Courrier England, and not France, is the
great gainer by the treaty of the r3th of July.
The vintage is most abundant in Spain tins year. The

nurcial restrictions, if only the fleshpots of office could
be first secured. They have obtained the latter and
now with that worse than Punica fides which has ever
been characteristic of Toryism, they wish to evade the
former."

The Cambrian remarks, as follows, on Sir Robert
Peel's present position :—" Peel knows that he need
not reply to the voice of the people demanding his views
on the Corn-laws, because he has a Parliamentary ma-
jority of ninety-nine. What need has he to chop logic
with Mr. Otway Cave or with Mr. Cobden, when, fur
arresting the movement of the people until winter, he
can point to his rank and file of monopolists, and say, as
the officer who arrested Charles the First said of his
pistol, There is my warrant.' Heedless, indeed, must
any Administration be of a coining storm, which can
reply to the demands of a hungry people by an oration
on air or warmth."

In an article on the subject of the Penny Postage, the
Bolton Free Press makes the following remarks :
" Many seem to think that Sir R. Peel is too politic to
brave the unpopularity which will certainly be the por-
tion of any Ministry that dares to interfere with the pre-
sent rates of postage. The insulting course pursued by
Sir Robert during the last ten days, in reference to the
condition of England question,' ought to show how
little we have to expect from his fear of unpopularity."

A requisition, numerously signed by the manufacturers
and merchants to the Provost, to convene a meeting, to
petition the Queen, has been sent to the Rev. Mr. Camp-

Manchester. The meeting will be held in a few days.

.A.GRICULTUE.AL.

The accounts from the North—of Scotland are favour-
able. In Ross-shire and in Morayshire a great deal of
grain has been gathered in excellent condition. The
potatoe and turnip crops are excellent.
The arrivals of hops come forward very freely. Fair
and good qualities come from Sussex, the Weald of Kent
and the middle of Kent ; from East Kent they are small
in quantity, and of a secondary--kind, as yet: The
choicer specimens of any, however, have not appeared
at all.

Accounts from the midland counties state, that the
corn crops have been nearly all secured in excellent
condition.

LAW AND POLICE.

At Worship-street, on Saturday, an elderly man, (,f
the name of Richards, assistant-surgeon and apothecary
in Bunhill-row, was held to bail in 2001., and two sure-
ties in 1001. each, for improper conduct towards several
girls belonging to .St. Luke's Charity School. He ut-
terly denied the charge.
At the Thames Police-office, the mate of the Topaz
steamer was adjudged. to pay 41. los., the amount of
damage done to the Satellite, by wilfully (as alleged)
running his boat against the other. The solicitor to the
Diamond Company claimed the usual time, three days,
to consider whether he should appeal, which was granted.

PORTUGAL.

The Montrose steamer arrived at Falmouth on Sa-.,
turday morning at three A.M., furnishing the usual Pe-
ninsular dates. The following is from our Lisbon cor-
respondent, dated-7-
LISBON, SEPT. 20.--General Macdonell was tried on
the 14. instant, in a summary wanner, before the British
Judge Conservator, and fully acquitted of all charges
of a political nature. Ile was, however, found guilty of
An infraction of the police regulations in having entered
the country without a passport, and was accordingly
sentenced to expulsion, eight days being all Owed him to
make his arrangements for departure. The sentence was
that he should meanwhile continue in confinement ; but
bail having been tendered by a British merchant, and
accepted by. the Judge, he was instantly set at liberty.
I am sdrry .to add that - his health has beep. terypritich
affected by the incarceration he underwent,:andthat he
is at this moment seriously ill in consequence of the
hardships he has endured.
The whole of the batch of twelve financial projects have
been got through in the Chamber of Deputies without'
any amendment, and will now have to go through a se-
cond ordeal in the Senate, where it is expected some of
them will meet with great opposition, particularly the
project for imposing a tax of 10 per cent. on the divi-
dends upon the domestic debt, and that in which the
abolition of the differential duties is proposed.
The Government has applied to the Con& for an
authorisation to collect the revenue till the 3Dth ofJune,
1242. This application is quite unprecedentAt as'to the
length of the term, such authorisations never having
before been solicited for more than four months forward.
It has accordingly been severely commented upon in the
opposition journals. The question is yet pending, but
no doubt will be decided in the affirmative, the Govern-.
ment having in reality an absolute command over the
present Chamber of Deputies.
I understand that. a bill for 50,0001., on account of the
expenses of General Clinton's army, in 1827, negotiated
by Viscount Palmerston to Rothschild, has been pre-
sented here, and will become due on the Ist of October
next. This will act as a terrible drain upon the trea-
sury, and will be felt the more inconvenient at this
,mo-
meat when money is so much required for the use of the
troops to be sent to the province of Algarve. Affairs in
that quarter are assuming a very serious aspect. The
guerillas are daily increasing in numbers, and a good
many persons have set off from this city to join them, a
fact admitted in the Cortes by the Minister of *War
himself. It does not yet appear very clearly whether
they are purely Miguelites or Ultras, or a combination
of both, which, indeed, is most generally thought to be
the case. If so there are strong grounds for believing
that the Spanish Government has a hand in the business

THE CLE:' ARING HO USE.

(From a Parliaments:7 Paper, just pt blished. )
The Appendix, No. 31, of thy' second reps irt of the Com-
mittee of the House of Commons upon Banks i if Issue, consists
of an account of the aggregate fleinaiads ma de through thq
Cle.trin. House upon the bankers who taethe Clearing House,
on each day in the year 1839, together' vith the amount of
batik notes employed in the Clearing House' .on the same day,
omitting all fractions under 100/.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.

BRISTOL, SATURDAY NlGHT.—lntelligence has been
received in this city of the occurrence of a most calami-
tous accident,-attended with a large sacrifice of human
life, at the Penydarran Iron Works, near Merthyr, the
extensive furnaces of Mr. Alderman Thompson and Com-
pany: The immediate causo of the accident was, the
bursting of the large boiler of the steam-engine con-
nected with the machinery ; but of the causes which led
to the explosion no information has yet reached us.
The explosion, according to a letter from Merthyr,
" was a tremendous one, destroying a very large
portion of the works. Six unhappy fellow-creatu;:es
were killed almost instantaneously, and
.eighteen others
received injuries of the most dreadful charr.cter, s )me
of them being mangled, and others frightfully scald:led.
Three of them .have since died, and others are so dan-
generously injured that they are not ex' ectcd to r.cover.
The sufferers are many of them married men, with large
families dependent on them, who will now be deprived of
their principal means of support." Another communi-
cation says, " Not the least distressing part of the occur-
rence is, that it will take, in all probabiLity, two months
or upwards to repair the damage done to the works."
The names of the unfortunate persons killed on the
spot are given as follows .—George Thomas, a bundler,
a married man, having a wife and six children ; John
Jones, a working gardener, married, a wife and three
children ; Evan Williams, a boy ; John William.,,
widower, one child ; Jeffery Cannel, labourer, unmar-
ried, and Harriet Williams,' single woman. Among
the injured are William Evans, dangerously ; David
Davis, dangerously ; William Richards, dangerously ;
John Williams, arms broken in two plac es, and dan-
gerously scalded ; John Williams, dangerously ; T.
Grover, dangerously ; William Recce, dangerously ;
David Lewis, dangerously ; Alfred Hodam danger-
ously ; William Evans, thigh broken ili two places, and
badly scalded ; Edmund Edmunds, dislocation of shoulder
and scalded dangerously ; Daniel Davis, shoulder out and
scalded dangerously ; Richard Williams, wounded dan-
gerously ; George Savall, dangerously ; David Lewis,
scalded dangerously ; Morgan Davis, dangerously ; and.
Benjamin Williams, a boy, seriously.
The Coroner has summoned a respects,ble Jury of the
neighbourhood to investigate the circun 'stances which
have led to so destructive and fatal an occurrence, and
it is understood that the inquiry will be commenced
on Monday next. I have been unable to obtain any
more precise particulars as to the nature of the in-
jury to the works; or the probable amount of property
destroyed..

ROCHDALE.

The following placard has been extensively distributed in
this town, and the Memorial to the Queen, which is sub-
joined. has received numerous signatures :
" Men of Rochdale—The Tories are in office—the Parlia-
rnent is assembled—party quarrels occupy their time—they te-
fu.e to inquire into the cause of the ally increasing distress--
they know the cause, but they selfishly and blindly refuse to
remove it—they double the price of your bread and your beet;
and so take away one-half of it—they deprive you of employ-
ment—they reduce your wages—they recommend you to go
to the parish ; and they do all this under a pretence of de-
fending you and making your condition prosperous. You
have petitioned for the repeal of that law, three millions of
your countrymen have petitioned, and 'their petitions have
been spurned and laughed at. The Tory Ministers refuse to
repeal the Corn-laws ; the landlord Parliament refuse to spend
any time in considering the subject of your sufferings. We
must address the Queen not to permit them to go to their
hooting and hunting until they have done something to
save honest and industrious men and their families from stare -
tion." he Addru.s corresponds with the items of the placard.

MONEY-TRADE-COIVIVIERCE.

The accounts from Manchester, Leeds, Halifax, and
Bradford, generally state that more business has been
done lately, but that prices are still low, and do not afford
sufficient remuneration for outlay and labour. At Lei-
cester business is moderate, and at Bolton not the slight-
est improvement has taken place. Every week adds to the
number of uninhabited houses.

LAW AND POLICE.

Mr. Harvey, the City Police Commissioner, had an
interview on Friday with the Secretary of the Howe De

A man of the name of Baldsthorp, a coach spring
maker, was committed at Worship-street to take his
trial for indecently assaulting a young woman, the wife
of a man formerly in his employ.
At Marylebone Police-office a man of the name of
Harris, a higgler, was fined 40s. with costs, for assault-
ing a toll-collector at the Pine Apple. gate, Edgeware-road.

RICHMOND PARK:

Sir Robert Inglis stated, during the debate on the mis-
cellaneous estimates on Monday night, that Richmond
Park some years since was considered the, private pro-.
perty of the Crown, and no one was alAowed to go
through it without permission. The right of the public
Wa*ceisputed, and the foot-path closed agaii.ist persons
who, did not produce a ticket. The park,. at last, was
oelv.opened to the public in consequence (A an action
triad in the Court of King's Bench.
Mr. Williams, the Member for Coventry, was in
error, when he asserted that the action was fart
to decide the_ public right to pass through Busoey,
and not Richmond Park. When the Princess AA le-
aunt of George the Third, was appointed Range r,
tl: public right to the foot-way through the pare:
wa3 established by the issue of a suit at law (1758),
tried at Kingston Assizes, in consequence of which
division, ladder gates were put up at some of the
entrances. The fact is thus recorded :—" The beauty
and convenience of this terrestrial paradise (says the late
Gilbert Wakefield), were essentially impaired by having
the foot-way shut up, and no passage allowed without a
tieliet. Mr. John Lewis, of Richmond, brother to Dr.
Lewis,--' who wrote the Philosophical Commerce of
Arts,' takes a friend with him to the spot, waits for the
opportunity of a carriage passing through, and when the
dor-keeper was shutting the gates interposed, and
off..rcd to go in. Where is your ticket?'—' What Ge-
casion for a ticket? Anybody may pass through here.=
not without a ticket.'--' Yes they may, and I will/
You shan't.'—' I will.' The person with Mr. Lewis,
pu :bed to get through, and Lewis suffered the door to,
be shut against them. He then brought his action andl
was triumphant.
" The cause was tried before that upright Judge, Sir
Michael Forster. After the verdict in his favour, Lewis
was asked whether he would have a step ladder to go
over the wall or a door. He hesitated some minutes, but,
reflecting that strangers might not be aware of the pri-
vilege of admission through a door which could not
stand open, on account of the-deer, considering also that
in process of time a bolt might be put to this door, and
then a lock, and his efforts gradually frustrated ; sen-
sib:e, too, that a step ladder, would signify its use to
every beholder, he preferred that mode of entree-
! In mere spite the steps of the ladder were set at
such a distance apart as rendered it almost useless.
At a subsequent period, when the same Judge happened
to be going the Home Circuit, Lewis -complained to the
Court. My Lord,' said he, They have left such a.
space between the steps of the ladder that children and
oil men are unable to get up it.' I have observed it
myself,' replied the honest Judge; and I desire. Mr.
L,.tvis, that you will see it so contrived that not only
ctt;ldren and old men, but old women too may be able to
getover.'"

The park is eight miles in circumference, and con—
tains 2,253 acres. George HI., in 1802, gate the new

life to Viscount Sidmouth, then Prime Minister.—

SPAIN.

The following is the expose of the motives of the pro-
ject
.of law pr3sentql t the Cortes for the cession by
Spain to this c Atntry of the islands of Fernando Po and
Annobon :
" The unhealthiness of the climate on the Sierre Leone
coast, where are actually established one of the mixed tri-
bunals of justice, formed in virtue of the treaties. con-
cluded with Great Britain for the abolition of the slave
trade, for the purpose of a summary judgment in
cases of slave traders captured, demanded on the
Part of the two contracting parties a. more salubrious
Spot for the transfer of the said tribunal.. The
SPanish Government had chosen the isles of Fernando Po
and of Annobon, in the gulf of Guinea, belonging,
to the Crown of Spain by formal cession, as spect-
fivl in the treaty signed at the Pardo, in March, 1778.
Nfter the proposition of divers projects, then not exe-
cutable, England, on the 18th of April, 1839, offered to
purchase these islands on reasonable terms, finding them
more 'convenient than Sierra Leone for the protection of
the clauses of the treaty of 1835. The mixed Commis-
sions, convinced of the advantage to be derived from the
,abandonment of Sierra Leone, and of the facilities af-
forded for the enforcement of the execution of the said
treaty by an establishment on one of these islands, which,
though belonging to Spain, had since possession aban-
doned, from their uselessness to the nation, considered
advisable to admit the proposition of England, and in
order to facilitate the views of the two countries negotia-
tions were opened.
The affair was concluded in April last, a report on
which was laid before. the Provisional Regency, which
decreed that, except the Cortes consent, the 60,0001.
offered by England for the islands should be accepted,
and ordered that, if the cession took place, that sum
should be applied to the payment of one of the
current dividends, and the surplus, if any, to that
of the interest on the debt contracted with Eng-
land in virtue of the treaty concluded on the 28th of
October, 1828. Thus proving the Spanish nation's
desire of fulfilling out-standing engagements. In
order to the definitive conclusion with the
Plenipotentiaries of her Britannic Majesty of the
treaty for the cession to England of Fernando
Po and Annobon, his Excellency the Regent,
during the minority of her Majesty Queen Isabella
11., with the consent of the Council of Ministers,
has ordered me to submit to the Cortes the reasons which
have determined the Government relatives to the afore-
named cession, and to propose to that corps, in confor-
Tuity with article 49 of the Constitution, the following
i.roject :—Sole Article. The Government is authorised
to cede to Great Britain the islands of Fernando Po and
Annobon, for the sum of 60,0001. offered, conformably to
a special convention to be signed by the Plenipotenti-
aries appointed by her Catholic Majesty and her Bri-
tannic Majesty, an account thereof to be submitted to
the Cortes after ratification.

RUMOURS OF THE DAY.

The Dean of York has been absolved from his con-
tempt against his superior, the Archbishop, and is again
a good and faithful son of the Church. The result of
the elections, caused entirely by the prayers of the
Bishops and clergy, has convinced him of his error in
attempting to injure the Establishment.
When the Bishops have affairs all their own way,
and they are determined it shall be so, when Peel is
Premier, they will treat the Kirk of Scotland as
a puny offshoot from the Established Church.
That Kirk, so long the boast of Scotland,
is to be put under the ban for allowing her members to
send so many destructives to Parliament. As a matter
of favour, however, though treated as the Church of only
a sect, she will be allowed to repose under the shadow of
our Spiritual Mother—the Church of England—without
whose influence the whole frame-work of our institu-
tutions would, ere this, have been consigned to ruin.
An over dose of morphine, the Dublin papers
state, was the cause of Lord Dufferin's death, as is said
to be proved by the analysis of the contents of the
stomach.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE.

On Monday evening a youth, named Arnold James
Fades, in the service of Mr. Chapman, surgeon, in
Lower Tooting, committed suicide, by hanging himself
to a beam in a hay loft on the premises of his
master. He was found by Mr. Chapman's son,
who took all the steps usually adopted to restore
suspended animation, but without effect. It appears that
the boy was led to commit the rash act upon a discovery
made by his mistress that he had embezzled numerous
sums of money given to him by her to pay the trades-
men in the neighbourhood. Mrs. Chapman threatened
to tell deceased's master, and sent for his father, but be-
fore the arrival of the latter the boy was found as be-
fore described.

MONEY-TIZADM-C OMIKMIZ,CE.

The accounts from Manchester and Stockport, and
many other places iu the manufacturing districts, are as
gloomy as those received yesterday from the west of
Scotland. Great numbers of persons are, of course,
thrown out of employment. It would be very desi-
rable, as suggested by a correspondent this day,
that the numbers should be ascertained, in order
to show the ruinous effects of the present commercial
system. Unless something is done (writes a corre-
spondent from Huddersfield), and that speedily, to
revive our drooping trade, the most distressing results
must ensue. The Worcester Chronicle, in the same
strain, says-7" There is, however, a point beyond which
human endurance cannot go, and if the harvest prove a
very bad one, the state of this country will be such as
will cause the stoutest monopolist to quail."

its line of march through Broadway to Chambers-street,
down Chambers to Hudson-street, up Hudson to Laight-
street, through Laight and Canal-streets to Broadway,
up Broadway to Grand-street, through Grand-street to
the Bowery, and down the Bowery and Chatham-street
to the City Hall, where the honours of a marching salute
will be paid to the Mayor and Corporation ; after which
a feu de joie will be tired in the Park, and the Division
dismissed.

LAMBETH REGATTA.

The annual oars wager, at Lambeth-stairs, took place
on Monday, and was witnessed by a vast concourse of
persons, who assembled in the Bishop's-walk and on the
river. It was the twenty-first contest for a wherry and
other prizes, given by the ladies and gentlemen of St.
Mary's, Lambeth, to be contended for by fourteen free
watermen ; but in consequence of the absence of Shel-
ton, who forms one of the Sons of the Thames crew now
at Havre de Grace, in training for the great match there
on Thursday next, it was found necessary to reduce the
Lambeth wager to twelve members. The first heat con-
sisted of Lewis Richards and George Wylde (white), G.
Wilson and W. Richards (light blue), and J. Maynard
and E. Perry (green). The distance was from Westmi-
nster-bridge up to a boat off the Brunswick Hotel, down
the Surrey shore, round a boat off Hungerford, and back
to Lambeth stairs. Green came in first, white second.
The men in the second heat were Henry Maynard and
Charles Maynard (yellow), Edward Maynard and George
Maynard (purple), and William Rolls and Richard Wil-
son (scarlet). It was won by yellow and purple. After
obtaining some refreshment, white, green, yellow, and
purple took their stations for the grand heat, starting
from Vauxhall-bridge downwards. The whole party
took the start well, and after a few strokes green and
purple went a head and made a sharp contest ; green
got the lead and kept it, coming in as the winners. They
were closely pressed by purple.

AGRICULTURAL

REPORT FOR

LAN ARKSH

. - --
JULY 22.—From every part of the country there is a
lfighly favourable account:of the state of the crops of
every denomination. At one time it was feared that
there would be a deficiency of straw, in consequence
of the drought in June ; but the rains that have
since fallen, although late enough, have stretched
the stalk to such a length, as satisfactorily to
prove that even the . animals of the lower creation
will havo.their share also. What is designed for the
use of Man will be ample ; and happy for the country
• that it is so—for all hope of relief front Parliamentary
legislation is, for a time, at an end. The late rains have
rather lodged some of the earlier and weightier grain ;
but, being still comparatively light in the head, a very
Aort tract of drought will suffice to set it up erect.
Oats arc expected to turn out more than an ave-
rage ; barley will not be' below it ; and wheat is
expectO not to fall far short. The potato crop
never aEurded richer promise. Of these, GILO,9w,
Paiskiy,, and. all the towns on the west 'coast, hive
•*atrea,ity-'4l iorke for Ireland fwoildd to' (4.0(1 the
p.x)ple were as much blessed as the soil), large and good,
so low as 9d. a stone. This is still too dear. how-
ever, for the poor opA.ative ; but another fortnight
will afford him a purchaseable meal of these, and a
few of the new excellent Lochfine salt herrings—for
beef, mutton, or lamb—poor man—he dare not ap-
approach ; nay, even the produce of the dairy, abun-
dant as it is, is ruinous. And what are his prospects
from Tory rule? Nothing but "Peel and eat," and peel
on, until he-himself have nothing but skin to peel from
his own bones. Unfavourable as the period was for
the first sowing of turnips, they have since got away
well;' but the second is considerably a head; both, hew-
ever, promise fair. From the moorlands, the store-farmer
smiles very cheerfully—his pasture never was richer,
nor his lambs in bettor condition. The early part of the
season was very propitious for the little honey insects,
and they swarmed well; but of late they are getting very
dowie from•the cloudiness of the atmosphere, and the
'heavy outporings that every now and then take place.
And, woe to St. Swithin! they have a bad look out for a
long time yet; for more reasons than one, we should re-
commend that mass upon mass should be said for a whole
week together to try and induce him to wipe off his hu-
midity, and let us have one, dry 'harvest for a rarity.--
Glasgow Argus.

ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN

INDEPENDENCE.

This day fell on a Sunday, being the 4th of July, and
the celebration was therefore postponed till the tiillowing
day. The subjoined is a programme of the intended re-
joicings, taken from the AreurYork Enquirer, of the sth
July. It is unique in its way, and certainly furnishes a
contemptible idea of the enthusiasm of the people. Had
an agent of the Autocrat of all the Russias been employed
to turn the event into ridicule, he could not have been
more successful than the American editor.

INQUEST ON THE BOtY.

Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held by Mr. Car-
ter, Coroner for Surrey, at the Castle Tavern, Tooting, on
the body of the deceased youth. One of the witnesses
was Mrs. Chapman, and, her evidence having been taken,
the following extraordinary scene occurred :
CORONER (having read over to the witness the state-
ment she had made)—l have not yet sworn you, Madam ;
have the goodness to take the book, and attend to the
words of the oath.
Mrs. Chapman (greatly agitated)—Oh, no, Sir ; I
will not take an oath.
The CORONER courteously insisted upon the witness
swearing to the evidence she had given, otherwise he
must strike his pen through the whole of it, observing,
also, that no person could reasonably hesitate to swear
to that which they knew to be plain matter of fact.
To the great astonishment of all present the witness
still persisted in her refusal. She said that all she had
stated was, to the best of her recollection, perfectly true,
but that she was almost in a state of distraction when
the occurrences she had detailed took place.
The Coroner still insisting, the witness rose from
her seat in great mental agony, and, bursting into
tears, implored that she might be excused from taking
the required oath.
Mr. Chapman (witness's husband)—Really I see no
reason why you should not swear to your statement. You
know it to be true, and as a Christian you can safely
verify it by the oath which the law requires.
Witness (weeping bitterly)—Oh, spare me ! I cannot
take an oath.
The depositions were again read over to the witness,
who declared that every word was correct, but still re-
fused to be sworn.
CORONER—Then, Madam, it will be my painful duty
to commit you.
Mr. Chapman--I consider, Mr. Coroner, you are car-
rying this matter too far. I cannot allow my wife to
stay here any longer. If she does, she will be laid on a
bed of sickness.

CORONER—You must allow me, Sir, to know my duty.
I am bound by law to take all evidence upon oath.
Mr. Chapman—With deference to you, you ought to
have administered the oath to Mn. Chapman before you
heard her evidence. S'he never had the least idea that
she would be required to make the statement upon oath.
The CORONER expressed his astonishment at this sug-
gestion, and told Mr. Chapman he must be perfectly well
aware that the oath must be taken. He then stated that
he should be obliged to adjourn the inquest and commit
Mrs. Chapman, upon which Mr. Chapman earnestly in-
terfered to induce his wife to take the oath, which she at
last did, but fainted away at the same moment, and was
carried out of the room. • _ _ _

The Jury being fully satisfied that not the least blame
could be attached either to Mr. or Mrs. Chapman, re-
turned a verdict " that deceased destroyed himself while
labouring under temporary insanity."
