SUDDEN DEATH OF AN OPIUM

EATER.

An inquest was held at the White Lion Inn, Stone-
street, on Thursday evening last, on the body of Charles
Weedon, a paper maker, aged 42, who died sud-
denly on the previous night. Sophia Weedon, wife
of the deceased, stated her husband had been in
a bad state of health for some years, complain-
ing of violent pains in his limbs, to allay which he
had long habituated himself to take opium, bat she could
not say in what quantities. Did not know of his pro-
curing any on the previous day (Wednesday), but on
Tuesday he sent his daughter for a pennyworth, but of
which he took none that day. On Wednesday witness
was out, and could not say what quantity he took. His
box was found empty on her return at six o'clock.
Deceased was in bed on her return, and having sent
him his ti a, she went up stairs about two hours
afterwards. when he lit his pipe as he sat in his bed,
and appeared as well as usual. Upon going up about
half-pan
teni witness found him lying on his back
with pipe in his open hand and groaning
his p
heavily. Being alarmed, she tried to rouse him, but
without effect, and having called in a neighbour,
went for Mr. Hoar, who immediately attended. Had
caused search to be made, but no opium was found in
his clothes. T. Fardon, chemist, Stone-street, stated
he knew the deceased, who had been in the habit of
purchasing opium at his shop. He generally purchased
a pennyworth at a time, about once in three or four
days. Deceased came to his shop between three and
five o'clock on the previous day, and asked for
four pennyworth of " the old sort." Witness re-
marked jocosely that he was extravagant, and
deceased replied that he was going to Hol-
lingbourne the next morning, and should not be back
for some days. Witness asked if there were any chil-
dren where he was going, as it would be dangerous, but
he replied that they would not get it from his waistcoat
pocket. The opium was, however, put into a box, and
the lid labelled poison " in large letters. Ob-
served nothing remarkable In deceased's manner ;
he said he usually took a pennyworth in
three doses, which quantity would be dan-
gerous to any person not accustomed to taking the
drug. The quantity he last sold him would hare
been dangerous in the extreme. Mr. William
Hoar, surgeon, stated he was called to attend
the deceased shortly before twelve o'clock on
the previous night, whom he found perfectly insensible,
breathing slowly, and laboriously, and at intervals not at
all, which, together with the appearance of the pupils
of his eyes, led witness to believe he had taken an
overdose of opiam. Having used several stimulants,
without effect, the stomach-pump was applied, but
during its application the deceased died, having
never roused. Upon making a post mortem exami-
nation, he found the substance of the brain and the
vessels on its surface gorged with blood, which was
quite sufficient to cause death. Upon minutely exami-
ning the contents of the stomach, witness discovered
five or six pieces of a substance differing from the
rest, and which, from its smell, and the result of the
application of the usual tests, was found to be opium.
By the state of the brain, a large quantity suffi-
cient to cause death had evidently been taken.
One pennyworth of the drug would be much too
large a dose for a person unaccustomed to its use, but
opium eaters had been known to exceed even four pen-
nyworth in a day. Deceased might have taken such a
uantity without any intention to destroy himself. Ver-

BLACK FACES AND WHITE MoNET.—There are so
many good points in the American character that we
deplore the existence of those prejudices and weaknesses
which go so far to neutralise their virtues. The sight of a
great work marred by some lamentable inconsistency is
always a painful one. America is not without generosity—
is not without an enlargement of sympathy and toleration
which in themselves are truly admirable qualities. Even
now she is giving largely to feed the starving masses in
Americans
our famine stricken islands; and malty a great move-
ment of philanthropy in this country has received an
impetus from the coadjutancy of our brethren on the
peculiar
arecharacter.
very
tolerant—very It essentiallys
generous—very

e
xcu exclusive.
The
sympathetic—very humane; they would be the most
tolerant, the most generous, the moat sympathetic, and
the most humane people in the would,—if there were
no blacks. But even in these days, scouted as they
have been, condemned as they have been,—shown
their own faces as in a glass most visibly, with all
the distortions and grimaces of the most con-
temptible, the most paltry prejudice and narrow-
mindedness,—their liberality cannot go out beyond the
regions of the white world. Their sensibilities are still
affected by the contact of a man of colour. They do
not j udge men by the hue of their souls—the complexion
of their mind—but b the outer integuments of the body.
It is not the mind, iris the skin that makes the man.
The " mask of night" on the face of a Bacon or a Na-
poleon would sink him at once to the dimensions of a
piccaninny. Let him do what he might, he would still
be a black, not fit to herd with the most insignificant
whites in the cabin of an American steam-ship.---Aths.
SUDDEN DEATH or A MAN UNKNOWN IN THE
STREKTS.—On Friday the police received information that on
the preceding day a man, whose is at present unknown, whilst
proceeding along Goswell-street, fell to the ground and in-
stantly expired. The body' was taken to St. Luke's work-
house to be owned. The deceased was about fifty years of
age, five feet seven inches high, brown hair, fair complexion,
and he had a wound on the breast. He was dressed in a
black body coat, figured Luoleskill trousers, black rest, blucher

WHAT EMPLOYERS CAN DO.—An interesting ex-
ample of the good effects of s;rict, moral supervision on
the part of the employers, is atrA.cled by a silk mill,
at Hadleigh, near Canterbury. It is more than this;
for it is also an excellent example of co-operation on
the part of the working and middle classes, fur
the purpose of profitable investment for their com-
mon benefit. The Hadleigh silk factory was erected,
in 1834, by the parishioners, in shares of 501., and let

on a lease Of twenty-one years. at six per cent. on the
capital invested, to a large manufacturer of Colchester.
The shareholders reserved powers to the trustees, whom
they appointed, to the following effect:—That no chil-
dren should be admitted to the mill, except by their
appointment ; and that they should have power to sus-
pend or dismiss any who should misconduct themselves,
either in or out of the factory—whether children, young
women, overlookers, or mechanics employed about
the premises, though these last three classes were
all appointed by the master. Under these powers,
a number of minor regulations were afterwards agreed
upon. Any young woman having a child, or guilty of
improper conduct, was dismissed, and never re-admitted.
The names of those found walking in the streets, in
improper company, at improper hours, or found in
public-houses, were reported to the trustees, and dis-
missal followed, if the cause was deemed sufficient.
Those of the female operatives who came from the
country were allowed to lodge only in those houses
which were approved by the trustees, or were subject to
be suspended or dismissed from their employment. Ulti-
mately, the trustees devolved almost their entire powers
as to moral discipline on Archdeacon Lynn, who took
peculiar interest in watching over the moral condition of
the factory workers. And the results were most gratify
ing. After the irst year, all parties—the master, e
operatives themselves, and the relations of those em-
ployed—were unanimous in praise of the system. The
master, who was also the proprietor of a large mill at
Colchester, called upon the Archdeacon, and urged him
to use his influence with the clergy of that town to
exercise the same powers over the moral conduct of his
workpeople there, which he himself exercised at Had-
leigh; and applications of the same kind were made to
him by other large employers of labour. A higher
class of female operatives was attracted to the Hadleigh
mill, by the fact of the high standard of moral conduct
maintained there. An increasing number of respectable
applicants, many of them the daughters of tradesmen,
waited their turn for admission to employment ; and the
general behaviour of the whole was acknowledged to be
equal to that of the best conducted classes of the popu-
lation.—People's Journal.
PAST WARNINGS AND PROSPECTIVE CONSEQUENCES.

—Many sources of disease may be pointed out which
might be removed. It may be highly instructive to in-
quire—how much depends upon our own conduct ?
how much belongs to the action of those inscrutable
causes over which we have no controul ? That many
of those sources of disease are removable I am
certain ; would that I could inspire my eoun-
trymen with that active personal benevolence which
alone can remove some of the miseries incidental to, and
consequent upon, the condition of poverty. Their noble,
their magnificent generosity has never been withheld,
even from those who have infinitely less claim upon their
sympathies. Would to God that a body, who might
be called " legion," would stand forth, and in grap-
pling with the monster, whose gigantic proportions
have overshadowed the land, make their determina-
tion to accept no compromise, until by a well-con-
sidered, well-directed, mighty effort, they have ren-
dered themselves more victorious than the soldier, whosebe
based
upon built on human sacrifices, is too often .
upon the number of his victims, whilst theirs shall be regis
tered in the applause of the good, in the gratitude of
millions. The vast numbers of buring-places within
the bills of mortality are so many centres or foci
effluviao i nu -f
fection—generating constantly the dreadful
human putrefaction acting according to the cir-
cumstances of locality, nature of soil, depth from
the surface, temperature, currents of air its
moisture or dryness, and the power of resistance in
those subjected to its influence (and who is not?) as a
slow or energetic poison. * * • • Who is
not deeply interested in this question? Families, home,
kindred, relations, friends, the thousand sympathies that
have grown with our growth and strengthened with our
strength, aro so intimately connected with our sub- I
ject, that the more deeply we reflect, the more
settled is our conviction of the necessity for the
interference of the Legislature upon a point so inti-
mately involving the best interests of society. I have
freely and earnestly spoken of the tremendous risk in-
curred by the mutilations of the resistless dead, portions
of whose bodies, in various stages of decomposition,
are thus made the instruments of punishment to the
living. Yet no attention is paid to remonstrance, urged
from conviction ; no heed given to warnings however
disinterested, and however urgent.— Walker's Gather-
ings from Graveyards.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, April 17.
THE QUEEN V. FELLOW'S.
This was an application for a writ of certiorari, to re-
MTh,. an indictment from the Central Criminal Court
into this Court.

Mr. E. JAMES who made the application, stated that
the defendant had been clerk to the late Alderman
Ansby, wbo collected the wine duty payable from ves-
sels entering the port of London to the corporation of
London. Allegations against the honesty of the de-
fendant were made in respect to certain "caution money"
paid by merchants to the corporation in respect to ves-
sels in which they were interested, and which money
passed through the defendant's hands. The charges
were subsequently investigated, and so satisfied were the
corporation that they were without foundation, that the
defendant was reinstated in his office, where he continued
until recently, when the old charges were renewed, and
an indictment found against the defendant at the instance
of the corporation. The Learned Counsel founded his
application for the removal of the indictment into this
Court, OR the ground that the corporation would exercise
too much influence on the Central Criminal Court.
The Court, however, refused the application, but or-
dered that copies of the indictment, &c., should be fur-
nished to the defendant.

COURT OF BAAKRUPTCY, April 17.
IN RE D. E. COLUMBINE.

This was a meeting fur the choice of assignees under
this estate, which had been adjourned until this day, in
consequence of the bankrupt not having surrendered,
and no books being in the hands of the official assignee.
It was then stated, and now admitted, that the bank-
rupt is in France, and did not intend to surrender at
present. _ _ _

- Mr. Sturgeon now appeared for the petitioning credi-
tor; Mr. Cooke, for Mr. Waterloo, a creditor; and Mr.
Edwards, an attorney, attended to watch the proceedings
on behalf of the bankrupt.
Mr. EDWARDS, after a short discussion, said that the
ledger and cash-book should be handed in next week,
and there had been a negotiation so as to ensure the deli-
very of the papers and documents, Mr. Columbine being
also anxious to surrender, as soon as the legality of the
fact had been decided upon.
The choice was then proceeded with, and about
4,0001. of debts proved (the supposed debts are about
34,00010.

Mr. I'enhall, of Wandsworth-road, was appointed
assignee.

INSTITUTIGN OF CIVIL ENGI-

NEERS.
Marten 30, AND APRIL 13.
(Sir John Rennie, President in the chair.)
The discussion upon Mr. R chardson's paper on the
ventilation of mines was continued through both these
meetings, to the exclusion of any other subjects.
The various methods of ventilation in use in the min-
ing districts of Great Britain were fully described, and
their peculiarities discussed. The causes of accidents by
explosions and the consequent choke damp were inquired
into, and the fitness of the attempted methods of preven-
tion or cure was debated upon. The method of ex-
hausting the air was contrasted with that of forcing it
forward into levels by means of bellows and pipes. The
system used in the north of placing a furnace at the
bottom of the upcast shaft was insisted upon as that best
calculated for the extensive mines of that district, while
the method introduced by Mr. Gibbons in Staffordshire,
of exhausting the foul air by air heads cut at the top of
the coal, connected with a channel in the side of the shaft,
terminating in a chimney on the surface, was received
as a decided improvement upon the ordinary system in
use in that coal basin, where the extraordinary thick-
ness of thirty feet of the vein of coal renders a peculiar
plan indispensable. Various methods of attempting to
carry off the foul air from the " Oaf," whether by addi.
tional shafts or by boreholes, were proposed, and shown
by the mining experience to be totally impracticable, and
calculated to be rather prejudicial than useful. The in-
terference of Government was strongly insisted upon, and

s sof
human life was greater than in Engl mnif ; and that if our
mines were subject to the same annoying trammels the
price of fuel must be unduly raised without any corres-
ponding advantage, or an immunity from danger. There
could be no objection on the part of the coal-owners to
the formation of an association for regularly inspecting
and reporting upon the states of the various mines, the
communication between the various districts of the
methods found to succeed best under the attendant pecu-
liar circumstances ; but there were good and valid
reasons given why such a power should never be tamely
placed in the hands of any Government officers, with the
examples now before the country of the utter useless-
ness of the various commissions that had been appointed
to report on technical subjects, and Vk hose whole labour
appeared to have been directed to puffing some " nos-
trum," no doubt strongly recommended by some one
"having authority."
The subject of safety lamps and their uses were also
fully discussed:—Dr. Reid Clanny's first invention of the
lamp in 1813, which necessarily failed from its cumbrous
form and general inapplicability for working purposes,
and the recent form he had adopted, combining portions
of the other lamps in use, so as to show a bright light,
and yet be free from danger. The extraordinary co-

associates.

Sir Edward and Lady Kerrison have arrived at their
residence in Great Stanhope-street from Brighton.
The hosiery trade in nearly every branch is in a dull
state. Many of the houses have considerable hopes of
a speedy revival. Great excitement prevails respecting
the proposed abolition of frame rent, and the suppression
of master stockingers. The journeymen have the great-
est confidence that Sir H. Halford's Bill will pass into
law. They are also in some quarters very sanguine as
to the effect of the National Union, under the guidance
of the Member for Finsbury. The plan proposed is to
denounce all general strikes; but where a workman-
member is oppressed the Union to employ him, and take
off the goods produced. They have now a considerable
number of frames employed in this manner.—Nottingham
Review.
TnE LACE TRADE. —The sales this week have
been more satisfactory, and this market wears an improving
appearance. Mild weather, and relief in the money market
would give an impetus to business here, independent of the
aid expected almost daily to arrive, in the shape of orders, for
the United States. All accounts agree that trade there has been
so large as to clear off all stocks on hand, at good prices, and
lead to the anticipation that we are on the eye of an excellent
demand from thence.. Yarns are firm, and not at all over
