IVXISCEMILANMOUS.

The Standard observed a few days ago that the Mi-
nisters had been invited to dine at Claremont, but some
of them having pressing engagements in town, declined
the honour. Now it happens that they did not decline
the honour, for they had not the opportunity of doing
so. The truth is, they were not asked ! Eight minutes
of Sir Robert Peel's conversation seems to have been
quite as much as her Majesty could endure in one day.
The annual festival of the National Swimming Society
took place on Wednesday at the Green Man Tavern, in
Uatordciiitreet.--=gle Robert Peel should take lessons in
swimming of this society, •in order that he may be
enabled to keep himself afloat on the troubled waters
into which he has just plunged.
All Irieh Orange paper has already made the discovery
that Sir Robert Peel "is no Solomon." We beg our
Contemporary's pardon. The Tamworth Quack is a
Bolothon, butslike his famous brother Quack of Liver-
pool—he is a Doctor Solomon 1

SINGULAR SUICIDE.

Yesterday an inquiry took place before Mr. W. Carter,
the Coroner for the Eastern Division of Surrey, at the
Robin Hood, Kingston Bottom, on the body of Robert
Fell, aged 35, who destroyed himself, by cutting his
throat, on Tuesday morning, on which day he was to
have been married, after %twelve years' courtship of his
intended bride. The following evidence was adduced :
Frederick William Wallace deposed that the deceased.
had taken the beer-shop of him, and he had been ac-
quainted with him for a short time. On Tuesday after-
noon, in consequence of information he received, he
went to the deceased's house, and found him lying on
the bed' with his throat cut. The deceased pointed to
his throat, and said, " This is a bad job ; it will cost a
good deal of money, and I don't know who is to pay for
it." He added, that he knew he should not be able to
pay rates and taxes, and that he thought he had better
leave it ; and he at the same time said it was a horrible
job, but they were not at all times their own keepers,
and he could not account for it. He then wrung his
hands, and expressed deep regret for what he had done.
By the CORONER—Witness had not the least doubt
that the deceased committed the act himself.

John Williams, one of the keepers of Richmond
Park, deposed that he slept with the deceased. About
twenty minutes past five o'clock on Tuesday morning he
heard the deceased get out of bed, and he appeared to be
feeling about for something, and he almost instantly fell
down, and appeared to be retching, and witness asked if
he was sick, and upon no answer being returned, witness
jumped out of bed, and he then observed a quantity of
blood runniug from the throat of the deceased, and he
was groaning violently. On lifting up the deceased he
saw a razor covered with blood lying under him.
Mr. Thomas Ellis Tapley, surgeon of Wimbledon,
proved that he was called up to see the deceased, and on
examining him he found a wound on his throat from
five to six inches in length, and three inches deep. Wit-
ness remained in attendance upon the deceased, and
was with him when he expired.
This being the whole of the evidence, the Jury re-
turned a verdict " That the deceased destroyed himself
while in a state of temporary derangement."

AGRICULTURAL.

The floods of rain which came down on Friday and
Saturday last caused the Severn to rise most rapidly,
laying the adjoining lands under water. The coldness
of the season, added to these rains, has been exceedingly
unfavourable to the harvest.

In Worcestershire the barley crop has been mostly
carried, but will not be a heavy one. Of wheat, even
on the early soils, there will be scarcely an average per
acre. Oats are good, peas a fair crop, and turnips
look well.

LAW 811,11) POLICE.

At Worship-street on Wednesday, Lewis Ashford and.
Benjamin Valentine, Jews, were charged with having
assisted in the robbery of the creditors of David Cha-
poski, a Polish Jew, trimming-manufacturer at Bethnal-
green. Ashford had been employed by Chaposki to go
about the country to sell tassels, fringe, &c., and about
five weeks.since, being provided with 401. worth of these
goods, obtained a free passage to Sydney. His employer
heard of this, and obtained a warrant, which was exe-
cuted in Holland preyious to the day he was about to
leave for England, and he was brought to London with
part of Chaposki's property. Next day, when the charge
was brought against him, the prisoner accused his em-
ployer with being as guilty as himself, since which Cha-
poski has not been heard of. Valentine was apprehended
on a charge of being an accomplice of Chaposki's, who
had become a bankrupt last April, and assigned all his
property to his creditors ; but the articles produced, as
well as other hidden property, were not in the schedule
presented to the Court. The prisoners were committed
for trial at the ensuing Central Criminal Court.
John Quin, and a well-known beggar, named Hogg,
were charged at Marlborough-street for attempting to
obtain money from several Members of Parliament, by
representing themselves as inhabitants of the different
boroughs which they represented, and soliciting alms.
They were sentenced to one month's imprisonment.
An application was made at Lambeth-street, on the
part of the Teetotallers accustomed to assemble on the
first floor of a large building in Glasshouse-yard, Rose-
mary-lane. Mr. Jacks, who occupied the lower part of
the building, as a wine and spirit merchant, had ignited a
quantity of straw at the bottom of the stairs, with the in-
tention of " burning the teetotal Paddies out." Mr. Jacks,
in defence, complained of the nuisance occasioned to him
by hundreds dancing Irish jigs over his head, and by the
vibrations breaking his bottles. The annoyance being
thus pro and con, the Magistrate said he should put the
law in force against the party first offending next time.
Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., the City Police Com-
missioner, has ordered that no police constable in future

MANSION-HOUSE.
A person of respectable appearance, named 3 oh:
APArthur, was brought before Alderman Wilt :01 ~
charged with having fraudulently demanded and read i c d
two half-crowns from two ladies at the Custom-IF. e,
under pretence that he was authorised to make pecuuia
claims. One of the coraplainant's stated that upon t he
arrival of a steamer from. the Continent, her daughta r's
luggage was, according to custom, taken into one of ;lie
offices for examination, and, after it was examined, the
defendant walked up and demanded half a crown. 11 fit-
ness hesitated about paying what was never require( lon
any former occasion, upon which the defendant insisted
upon receiving the sum, stating, at the same time, tha the
was authorised to demand twice the amount. The c 3111-
plainant then paid the money; but, having subseque atly
ascertained that it was an extortionate charge, re pre-
sented the matter in the proper quaxtar, and the de-
fenialt was taken into custody. •
A Custom-house officer stated that he examined the
luggage alluded to, upon which there was no ca A ;
i -
go
whatever, and he heard the defendant, who, he w:u
formed, is a broker's clerk, demand thin half-crown. , Ld
declare that he could demand a crown.
Alderman Wtasos—Are you aware of . y" rig St
which the defendant may have to make a ()aianm t act
kind? Officer—Not at all. I was surprised to .ht ar
such a thing.
ALPER:MAN—Did you hear him insist uport the p
meat of tile money ? Officer—l certainly did. Be had
on Friday acted in a similar manner, as I heard, ano I
said that he ought to be taken into custody
impostor.

_e'rench lady sto',:d that upon her arrival in 4..
stunner, on Friday, from the Continent, her luggage wr.'s
subiected to a similar penalty by the defendant, to whom
she; was obliged to pay the half-crown, after he had
assartKl her that he could make her pay double the sure.
A-:.DF.r.-mas—And. he made the demand in the hearing
of Coose around ?
'!'he officer. said that the demand was loudly and re-
solutely made. The defendant said he 'must have the
aslounz, when some surprise was manifested.
The defendant in defencw said that he attended to the
business of the Custom-house as a baggage agent, and his
demands upon the ladies arose from the service he ren-
dered them by introducing them into the searching office
out 0-; their tun:, by which they got cleared earlier. He
considered _I: well entitled to the money, in con-
sequence of • • .curing such accommodation, but whcn he
:saw' there wL, an objection to the demand, he offered to
pay back what he had received is both instances.
The polictunan. into whose custody the defendant was
delivered, said that the offer was. not made till Mr.
-I\l'Arthur was in the hands of
.xistice.
Williams, shipping agent, of No 4, Bear-lane,
stated that the defendant had been in his employment 25

SPORTING.
Owing to the lateness of the harvest shooting did not
commence about Cambridge till Monday. Sportsmen
complain of the scarcity of birds, doubtless arising from
the wetness of the season. One sportsman states that in
a field in this county nearly fifty young partridges were
found, which had no doubt perished from the inclemency
of the weather.

had stated in this Court, that he (the complainant)
was not a householder, and accused him of having per-
sonated the former, who was, he alleged, the real pro-
prietor of the establishment. Now, this he (com-
plainant) utterly, emphatically, and distinctly denied ;
and he could bring several respectable persons, house-
keepers like himself, who were ready to come forward to
confirm the statement which he was now making, and
fully to satisfy the magistrate that he, and he alone, was
the owner of the premises which he occupied in Smith-
street. He could also produce, when necessary, the re-
ceipts for rent and taxes (in fact, he now held them in
his hand), to prove the truth of his assertion ' • and, fur-
thermore, he could produce • summonses which he had
received to attend on Coroners' and other juries, which
he thought of themselves enough to remove doubts as to
his credibility, and prove the sufficiency of his bail.
Mr. JARDINE said he could not but feel the utmost
astonishment at the statement which he had just heard
front the lips of Mr. Sneezum, jun., for his uncle,
Mr. Sneezum, sen., had not only made declarations to
the very contrary effect of what was now stated when
•
he attended with his solicitor, but he had yesterday
keen put upon his oath as to the truth of his asser-
tions, when he repeated the statement that he was the
:proprietor of the premises in Smith-street, and that he
employed and actually paid weekly wages to his nephew,
ae present complainant.
Mr. Sneezum, jun., said that he could not conceive
I its uncle's object for making such a statement. There
I were certainly outstanding accounts between them, in
the settlement of which some difficulties existed, but he
knew of no other grounds for his making a statement
which must prove so prejudicial to his character with
his friends, and so injurious to him as a man of business.
Mr. JARDINE again expressed his surprise at the coun-
ter-statements of the parties, and said that he doubted
not that the same publicity would, through the press, be
given to the present statement of the complainant as had
been given to the allegations made against him by Mr.
Sneezum, sen.
Tile complainant thanked the Magistrate for his cour-
teous attention to his statement, and retired.

SINGULAR ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE ENDING IN MAR-
raAGE.—A woman, who gave her name Ann Parrott,
was brought up this day before Mr. Alderman Pink,
charged with attempting to destroy herself at ten
o'clock last night, by going into the River Thames on the
Surrey side of Blackfriars-bridge, but being seen by two
policemen, they ran into the water and dragged her out,
and conveyed her to a surgeon's, and finding her very
.much excited, but not drunk, they locked her up for
safety.

She made no defence to the charge, but hung down her
head and appeared much dejected.
A man named Parrott here came forward, and stated
that he had been living with her for about four months,
and that her sister w•as married yesterday, and because
he did not marry her at the same time he believed was
the cause of the act.

Mr. Alderman PIRIE—What was the cause of your not
doing so ? Parrott—Because I have not got the money.
Mr. Alderman PlRlE—flow much would it come to ?
Parrott—About a sovereign.
Mr. Alderman PIRIE—Then take her away, and get
married to her as soon as possible, and bring me the
certificate of the marriage, and I will give you the so-
vereign to pay the expenses ; perhaps that will prevent
her attempting so rash an act again.

The death a Mingh-Mengh, Emperor of Cochin-
China, is announced in the French Journals of Tuesday.
This tyrant persecuted the Christians for ten years with
more than Japanese cruelty. His common mode of ex-
terminating them was by crucifixion. His death is.re-
garded at Rome as a special interposition of Heaven in
favour of the Church. His successor is stated to be a
very tolerant Prince.
The storm which burst over London en Friday last
was felt at the same time over every part of France.
At Lille the lightning struck a tree within forty yards of
the powder magazine. Had it reached the magazine,
the destruction would have been terrific.

The affair of Didier of Grenoble is again revived. Up-
wards of eighty letters written by the Duke de llecaze:.,
have been discovered. The Commerce begs that no
pains may be spared to clear up this myste-
rious transaction. It might be much better •to bury it
altogether in oblivion—at least during the life-time of the
principal actors in it. These are truths which the world
is the better for not knowing.
The Hungarian papers announce the creation of a
National Hungarian Bank at Pest.
The Editor of a Dusseldorf Journal has been con-

The Duke of Bordeaux according to a medical certificate

hension of any unpleasant consequences to be entertained.
The cure will be complete, and the fracture will leave no

We learn from Madrid of the 31st that the Spanish
authorities had not the boldness to tell the French Go-
vernment that it must evacuate the Isla del Rey at
Mahon. It secretly ordered the local authorities at
Minorca to inform the French there to evacuate the
island at the termination of the lease, on that
mode of proceeding being communicated to M.
Guizot, he expressed his astonishment and displeasure
to M. Hernandez, the Spanish Minister at Pa: is. The
Spanish Government, on hearing that the affair had
taken a reverse turn, sought to throw the blame on the
local authorities, but M. Guizot, as he did not wish,
under all circumstances, to retain the island, against which
Great Britain had remonstrated, would not be appeased,
and declared that the French Government would eva-
cuate the island on the expiration of • the lease, and re-
move the sick to the Hyeres Islands.

This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin-
guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being
exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it
may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con-
tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various
stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct
heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz. :—lst, The
cleansing, or detergent; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic;
and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand
divisions, theory suggested, and bang experience has demon-
strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided.
The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been
hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis-
manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu-
lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare.
The invalid suffering under mental depression and decay,

PRACTICALand POPULAR. TREA-
TISE, adapted aryl written expressly for the USE of
the NON-MEDICAL READER, pointing out a successful
and never-failing rriocdb of effectually Curing those dire Dis-
eases depicted in the works of Drs. Tissot. Solomon, Jordan;
Goss, and others. By WILLIAM HENRY CASTLE,
Surgeon. Illustrated with Cases.
This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin-
guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being
exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it
may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con-
tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various
stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct.
heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.:-Ist, The
cleansing, Qr detergent ; 2diy, The strengthening, or tonic ;
and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand
divisions, theory suggested, and hang experience has demon-
strated, the curative plan ought and must. be divided.
The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been
hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis-
manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu-
lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare.
The invalid suffering under mental depression and decay,
impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities,
comprehended under nervous debility, will find this Pocket
Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his va-
rious wants.

THE DUTY of the NON-ELECTOR

•
We have always been of opinion that a maim, Is nos
necessarily disfranchised who has no vote. It d'orfillb,
,
entirely on himself whether or not his voice sh**"
heard, and his opinion influence the march of pubLera
fairs. Probably Mr. Cobbett, during his long uoli
ore
career, was not an elector, but no single man had
influence over elections. The influence which he ex 'e
cised so extensively other men can exercise, though
much less degree. It is in some measure therefore t. 3,
individual's own fault if he have no influence over poi t;
affairs, and it will be the fault of the non-electors, 1, °-
are more numerous than the electors, if they do not
ercise, in spite of their constitutional, or rather unel;
stitutional, exclusion, a very great influence over
coming elections.
A dissolution is at hand, and the question on w
the Parliament is to be dissolved, and immediately r'r
assembled, concerns especially, and almost excli,„r
sively, the non-electors. Whether the wealthy e''';
get cheap bread or not is to them of little consequene
but if the non-electors have it not they pine and al.,
starved. On them, therefore, it is 'especially and
liarly incumbent to express their opinions on a que'tni.
which to them is one of life or death. Nor will tl 3
voices, if properly expressed, be unheeded by the elee:
tors. We respectfully but earnest.:y advise the oi'l4.
electors to hold meetings in every tolvn,
hamlet of the kingdom. Where the Tillage or hamlet t

They will require no resort to public-houses, no este

TANE and ELIZA SIMPSON beg re-
* spectfully to return their most grateful thanks to the
Nobility, Clergy, and Commercial Gentlemen in particular,
for the very decided preference which has been given to their
Hotel, since they succeeded to the business of their late parents,
and hope, by continued assiduity and attention to the comfort
of their guests, to merit that patronage which has hitherto
been so liberally bestowed.
J. and E. S. feel it their duty to caution those passengers
travelling by mail or stage-coach, who intend patronizing their
Hotel, that these conveyances now arrive at and depart from
the Coach-office, Gateway (two doors from the Hotel), and
unless the •y ask for Simpson's Hotel, it is probable they may
be conduc.ted to a lodging-house aear the Gateway, which has
no connexic 'n with their establishment.
An omnib us leaves the above Hotel for every Railway train,
and post-hers,ts are always in attendance at the station.

RAILWAY TRAIN-CONTROLLER, for Prevent-

TO RAILWAY COMPANIES.

The Proprietors of this Patent will grant licenses to Rail-
road Companies for the use of this invention, the object of
which is the protection of life, by Preventing the Collision of
Trains. By a self-acting arrangement, Trains are prevented
from approaching nearer to each other, even under the highest
speed, than a quarter or a half-mile, as may be regulated, a
preceding train passes an electric current from it to an ap-
proaching one, acts on the alarm to give warning, shuts off
the steam-valve of the locomotive, and puts on all the breaks
of a train ; thus retarding its progress until the preceding
train shall have advanced out of danger. This invention af-
fords better security than night-signals.
