CORONER'S INQUESTS.

Yesterday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, a Coroner's
Inquest was held before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq., Coroner
ror Middlesex, at the Elephant and Castle public-house, Cam-
len-town, on the bodies of John Roe and. John Bishop, two
bricklayers' labourers, who lost their lives in the following un-
fortunate manner :

It appeared that Mr. Dupre, a master pavier, who some time
ago, built a sewer in Drummond-street, Euston-square, had
occasion about 12 months since to dam it up about half way, in
order to force the water back into a field for the purpose of mak-
' ing bricks. Wishing, on Tuesday last, to remove this dam, and
allow the water again to flow, he sent these 2men, about 4 o'clock,
into the sewer for that purpose, without any previous precaution,
to purify the air. The two men had to proceed about 50-yards
up the sewer before they reached the dam ; and, on their re-
moving it, a discharge of mud, water, and foul air suddenly
burst upon and overwhelmed them. A boy who was passing
heard a moan, which attracted, his attention, and he gave the
alarm to some men who were at work in a field.
Augustus Egan, one of these men, stated that on receiving
the information from the boy, he instantly went up the sewer,
and dragged out Roe, who was still alive. Re conveyed him
to the workhouse, here surgical aid was procured, but with.
out effect.

Mr. Gasket, a surgeon, said that when he was called to 'at-
tend Roe, he found him in a state beyond the possibility of re-
covery. His opinion was that he died by suffocation from foul
air, and that a blood vessel was burst in his lungs.
Thomas Walker, another labourer, said that he went into
the sewer for the outer man after Roe was brought out. The
mud was three feet deep. He was about to return, being nearly
suffocated, when he laid hold of one of Bishop's legs, and with.
great difficulty dragged him out; but he was found to be quite
dead. He had himself nearly lost his life, being entirely ex-
haustedwhen he came out of the sewer.

The Jury, having viewed the bodies which lay at the work-
house, returned and examined another labourer in the employ-,
went of Mr. Dupre. This man deposed, that on the fatal oc.
casion the men were not ordered up the sewer by 31r. Dupre.
They had been up three times before, but could not succeed in
removing the dam. On Tuesday they went up by their own
accord to make another experiment.
The foreman and several others of the jury expressed them..
selves much dissatisfied that Mr. Dupre had not taken some
precaution before the men were allowed to enter the sewer; and
after some discussion on this point, they came to the following
verdict :—" That the deceased died of suffocation, occasioned-
by foul air." •
The Jury expressed a hope that either Mr. Dupre or the
parish would reward the two men who risked and nearly lost
their lives in extricating the deceased from the sewer.

The following is the method of shoeing horses
practised in some of the villages of Italy :
After the animals are thrown on their backs, by
means of cords with strong nooses slipped over
their heads and round their legs, their feet are
made fast to poles, and the operation is then
performed.

SOLFIII QUIS DICEIZE F4LSU.II AUDE.IT

LONDON,
THURSDAk, MAY /9, 1823.

We have in our preceding columns inserted

extracts from the Paris Papers of Monday, and

from the Pitote of Tuesday.

While the ordinary observer is occupied

with passing scenes, the politician, and philo.

sopher endeavours to penetrate futurity, to con

nect the chain of events, and to weigh the

destinies of mankind. It is not enough for

him to learn the progress of military events in

Spain. He is not satisfied with looking to

the Proclamations of the Cortes, nor to those

of the Junta.

The consequences which are to

flow from the possession of Madrid by the Duke

d'ANGOULEME, alone solicit his attention ; and,

as the first of these, the probability that the

French Government will invite the Spaniards

to form a Regency or Provisional Governmen

Reflecting on the intimate bonds of amity exis

ing between the Members of the Holy Alliance,

he inquires i.hether it be not also probable tha

those Powers will send accredited agents

Madrid. It would be a singular and curious

political phenomenon, to see the Continenta

Powers sending Ambassadors to Madrid, and

England retaining hers at Seville with FERDINAND

But wherever the Representative of England may

her voice must intervene, to prevention the one

hand, the establishment of despotism, as on the

other she has arrested the devastating torrent o

revolutionary principles. Spain is struggling

rgainst the imposition of a foreign yoke

England will assuredly never assist her as

sailants. If the war has really no other

object than that of securing the peace o

western Europe against the machinations of Re

volution, and procuring a rational Governmen

for Spain, in which the Sovereign shall be free

and in possession of the perogatives of one

of the branches of the Legislature, then it wil

become the bounden duty of England to 'watch

over the measures which may be ,calculated to

insure the re•ppose of the world.

A report prevailed this morning that a division
of five thousand French had fallen in with the
army of Moult.Lo, who had been considerably
reinforced by troops from Vigo, and various
other towns, and, after a severe conflict, the
former were defeated with great loss ;—the Spa-
niards refused to give quarter.

The Spanish schooner Two Sisters, from Porto
Rico and St. Thomas's to Cadiz, was taken off
the Azores the 4th ult. by the Colombian brig
Eagle, and sent for La Gbyra, but re-taken by
the Master and pdople left on board, and arrived
at Burbadoes the 20th ult.

RussrA.—As a new Ambassador from Russia
has arrived at Washington, our Government will
have a favourable opportunity of remonstrating
against the recent Russian proceedings on the
North 'West Coast; and as the British have
already protested against-the extravagant Ukase,
and have, as deep an interest as ourselves in re-
sisting it, measures of opposition might be con-
certed with her, if the pretences st.t up are not
abandoned or reduced to reasonable limits.—
(Boston Paper, itlaj 5.)

THE PITT CLun.--We yesterday attended the
Meeting to celebrate the Birth-day of perhaps
the greatest and most disinterested Statesman
that has appeared in any country since the origin
of civilized Society. It might indeed be styled
a National Festival, as it was not only in honour
of the great departed Statesmen, but in support
of those piinciples which essentially form the
basis of that Constitution in Church and
State, to which this country is indebted for
its pre-eminence in political security and
public freedom, which renders it the admi-
ration and envy of all other States.--It was
highly gratifying to every British heart to'
see the Meeting attended by several of our chief
intellectual Nobility, by men of rank and fortune,
by many of our first Merchants, and by a con-
siderabhi number of the most respectable Trades-
-men in the Metropolis, all atpcious to testify

their reverence for the departed Statesman,
and to avow their attachment to his principles,
which, at the most awful crisis of Eurofe, pre'
served the country from the horrors of anarchy,
while they maintained our free Constitution, and
upheld the dignity of the British Empire.—
Lord KENYON, who, on account of the illness of
the Duke of RICHMOND, took the Chair, sup-
ported it with great spirit, firmness, and manly
ease. He mixed good humour. with politi-
cal rectitude, and , diffused cheerful feelings
throughout the company. The LORD CHAN-
CELLOR spoke of Mr. PITT with all that strong
attachment and that expression of sincere re.
spect which invariably mark whatever he says
iu allusion to the great departed Minister.—
The Earl of LIVERPOOL briefly bnt emphatically
vindicated the policy which the Government of
this country had maintained during the whole of
the late negociations with France on the affairs
of Spain.—The Earl of HAttcwoon, in paying
due tribute to the merits of Mr. PITT, so clearly
developed the nature, substance, and tendency of
the departed Statesman's political principles,
that we lament we have not room at present to
enter more fully on the subject.—As we have
given in another place an account of the general
proceedings of this National Festival, we needon ly
add that we never witnessed, on any former oc-
casion, more zeal in honour of Mr. PITT, or more
enthusiasm than followed every, toast and senti-
ment which related to the purity of our Consti-
tution, and which manifested unanimous devotion
to its interests in Church and State.

GENOA, MAY 21.—8 y a Decree of the 19th
instant, the Council of State, by virtue of the
full powers delegated to it by the law of the
25th April last, has suspended the Liberty oldie
Press, subjecting to a censure the publication of
every work treating directly or indirectly of fo-
reign policy. The same measure has been
adopted in the Canton of Vaud without any other
avowed motive than the extremely vague allega-
tion of the pressure of circumstances. It appears
that the different Cantons have each issued De-
crees, intended to prove their, entire submission
to the will of Foreign Powers

The Duke of YORK visited the KING yes-
terday.
Yesterday the Earl of LIVERPOOL and Count
MUNSTER had audiences of his MAJESTY.
Prince LEOPOLD left town yesterday at twelve
o'clock for Claremont, accompanied by Baron
STOCIIMAR.
Yesterday afternoon, at half-past three o'clock,
the Prince of SAXE 'WEIMAR left tow ft for Bushey,
on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE.
Tuesday afternoon the Brisk sloop of war,
Captain STUARTt.arrived off the Tower. The
appearance of a vessel of war at that place gave
rise to various conjectures, and it was rumoured
among the seamen of the merchantmen, that no
impress for hands to man the fleet was to take

place instantly. On inquiry is has, however,
been ascertained that it large quantity of specie,
which' has been coined at the Mint for Ireland,
is to be put on board the Brisk for safe convey.
ance for Dublin.

On Saturday last his Excellency Sir BENJAMIN
BLOOMFIELD, Ambassador to the Court of Swe-
den, and suite, embarked on board the Seringa-
patam of 44 guns, in Leith-roads, and in the after-
noon sailed for Stockholm. ills Excellency was
saluted on his embarkation by the guns at Leith
fort, and by the ships of war in the Roads.
We are desired to correct a mistake in the
Parliamentary Reports, viz., making Mr. DALY
(who took no part in the discussion), instead of
Mr. DOMINICK BROWNE, the mover of the Joint
Tenancy Bill last Tuesday in the House of
Commons.

Yesterday a Ballot was taken at the East India

House, for the election of a Director, in the rocnn of JOSEPH
Covrox, Esq., who had disqualified. At six o'clock the
glasses were closed and delivered to the Scrutineers, who re-
ported the election to have fallen on JOHN BAILIN, Esq.
The Officers who accompanied Sir ROBERT
WILSON to Corunna were—William Julian
Light, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Staff, and John
Erskine, Captain, both his Aids-de-Camp ; and
also Antonio Adolph() Marbot, Colonel of Ca-
valry and Staff, Charles Thomas, Cornet Charles
Wolter, and Ensign Lewis Ludwig.
We are glad to see that the Greek Committee
sit daily at the Crown and Anchor, from one to
four. The best omen for any cause is an ap-
pearance of pains taking and method among its
supporters._

Among tile performers already engaged by ttre
indefatigable Manager of the Haymarket Theatre
for this next season, are--Messrs. Harley, Terry,
Liston, Vining--Misi Chester, Miss Paton, Miss
Love, Miss Johnstone, Mrs. Orger, Mrs. Jones,
and Mrs. Davenport.
The Englishman of Sunday next, the lst of
June, will contain a good account of Epsom
Races. No Advertisements whatever are in-
serted in The Englishman Sunday Newspaper,

of the same size as The Observer. it is regu-
larly published every Sunday morning, at the
early hour of Four o'Clock, at Messrs. SMITH'S,
192, Strand, London. The price of The Eng-
lishman is Sevenpence..— The Englishman of Sun-
day last, May 9-5, containing Five Folio Columns
of the Fight at Hinchley Downs, is re-printed,
and will be kept on Sale all this week.
SUOCK ING Aces DENT.—Yesterday morning a
tilbury, containing a Lady and Gentleman,
broke down on the declivity of Blackfriar's-
bridge, and as the vehicle was proceeding at a
quick rate at the time, the Lady was precipitated
to the ground with considerable violence, by
which her arm was broken and her face and neck
severely bruised. The Gentleman and the horse
eseuved without injury.
