151.11CIDZ BY A OF FOR.

TUNE.

On Friday evening,. a Jury composed of the principal
inhabitants of the towa, was impannelled before Mr. W.
Carter, the Coroner for ths? eastern division of Surrey,
at the Greyhound Inn, Croy don, for the purpose of in-
quiring into the circumstances .lonnected with the death
of Mrs. Mary Russell, residing z-,.t Croydon, who de-
stroyed herself by taking a quantty of arsenic and
laudanum.

The Jury, having been sworn, proceecticd to the man-
sion of the decagett,_ to view her remain The de-
ceased lady appeared to have been a fine haL•dsome wo-
man, apparently about fifty years of age. This part of
their duty having been performed, they returnee! to the
inn, where the following evidence was 'adduced, Me`4srs•
J. and W. Drummoad, the Solicitors, being present (:`.O
watcl, the proceedings on the part of the family of the
deceased lady:—

Harriet Giles, the ladies' maid to the family, deposed
that she had been in the service of the deceased for some
time. On Monday merlin.. last the deceased lady went
out, about eleven o'clock in the morning, which was rather
an unusual occurance, and returned in about half an hour.
On the Tuesday morning witness took up some water to
her mistress's bed-room, and she told her that she felt
unwell, and that she should not get up,. but wished to
have her breakfast sent up to her. Witness, accordingly,
shortly afterwards, took the deceased some chocolate,
and she observed that she drank it rather hastily, and in
a short time after witness had left the room the bell was
rung, and she went up stairs to her mistress, and she or-
dered her to send her daughter upstairs immediately,
and witness then observed that her mistress had been
vomiting in a basin that was by the bed-side. Miss -
nussell went up to her mother's bed-room ind im-
mediately afterwards the bell was rung violently,
and a footman was ordered to be despatched
for a surgeon, and Mr. Neville, of Croydon, arrived soon
afterwards. The witness then proceeded to detail va-
rious incoherent acts committed by the deceased fer some
time prior to the melancholy occurrence, and her evidence
left very little doubt as to the state of mind of the un-
happy lady.
Mr. Neville, surgeon, of Croydon, deposed, that on
Tuesday morning, in consequence of information he re-
eeived he went to the house of the deceased and found
her in bed, and apparently in an almost exhausted condi-
tion. Miss Russell, the deceased's daughter, then in-
fornrid him that her mother had taken poison. He then
4ldressefl the deceagedrand said he hoped that what her
daughter had said was not true ; and she replied " Yes,
it is true," Witness asked herwhat she had taken, and she
"arsenic." The deceased at this time did not ap-
pear to be in any pain, and witness knowing that the
character of arsenic was oto occasion excruciating pain,
doalited, at first, whether she had really taken poison of
t3,iat description. He administered some stimulants to
the deceased, and did all that he could for her, but she
gradually sank, and died on the following morning. A
paper with the word "poison" on it was afterwards
shown to him. Witness, assisted by another medical
gentleman, made a post-mortem examination of the body,
and then discovered traces of both arsenic and laudanum,
and the death of the deceased was no doubt occasioned
by those poisons.
The Jury returned a verdict that the deceased de-
stroyed herself by taking poison while in a state of tem-
porary derangement.

AN INFERNAL MACHINE.
(Feolil the Gazette des Tribunaux.)
BOUL.:)CNE, JtiNE. 4.—A discovery which is still en.
velopA in mystery has seriously disturbed our city these
two (lays. The day before yesterday, June 2, the-racket
from London came into port about nine o'clock atnight,
having on board eighty passengers, who successively- were
searched, as customary, at the Custom-house. The last
carried a kind of straw hand-basket, the inside of which,
having 1,-ea cautiously examined, was found to contain:
•
enveloped with much care, a sort of infernal machine, a
six-barrelled pistol, the model of a fort, some powder,
some halls, and a few detonating caps adapted to the use
of these fire-arms. In consequence of this discovery, the
Rwenamed articles were seized and forwarded to the
Procurear da Roi, and the individual in whose possession
they were found was apprehended and incarcerated.
The Procureur du Roi and his deputy immediately com-
menced an investigation of the affair, and the passenger
was subjected to a long and minute examination, in the
coarse of which only this transpired :—The prisoner
says his name is Israel Levy Lilly crass, armourer, at
Bridgwater. He invented the machine and the pistol,
and completed them last February • was now on his
road to Paris, with the intention of Offering the deadly
weapons for sale to the French Government. He appears
aged about twentv-five or twenty-six, and is dressed like,
and has the gait Of, a working man. Only two shillings
were found upon his person.
This a description of the machine and the pistol. The
former is composed. of an iron plate, from eight to nine
centimetres lon.. by wide. One side is bound with
wood, and upon the-
other, opposite, are fixed fifteen bar-
rels, live in a TOW
hammers
are discharged by means of
-three detonating oun' ammers, the trigger of which is
wri nice. The plate which supports the barrels is a
little hollowed, and, to fieo.lt.„ it must be placed againA

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY.

CO considerable fuss is made by the Mi-
nisterial Press about certain more strong than wise
animadversions of two of our esteemed Conservative
Contemporaries upon the manufacturing interests ;
animadversions in which we are not prepared to con-
cur, excepting so far as they relate to that agitating
portion of the manufacturing community which
has rendered itself odiously conspicuous for its
reckless onslaught and coarse vituperation of the agri-
cultural classes. We have a right to assume, in-
deed, that to such only it was the meaning of our Con-
temporaries to limit their attacks. But in any case, with
what show of reason and justice can they complain who
first lighted the fires of discord, and day by day
have been heaping fuel upon flame in their fiery
and death-consuming assaults upon all the interests con-
nected with land, which, at length, outraging all patience,
led to the natural reprisals about which these snivelling
sentimental snarlers now affect to raise an outcry ?
Were not the Ministry warned in season against the
peril of provoking a war of class interests ; and did not
Lord Melbourne himself, twelve months since only,
energetically protest, as became one who 'should be the
first executive conservator of the public peace, against the
" madness" of casting the firebrand of confusion, in the
shape of interference with the Corn-laws, into the midst
of a nation, then but in the first stages of incipient reco-
very from the anarchical consequences of that reform of
ancient institutions characterised by the Ministers them-
selves as a real revolution, and from the tumultuous and
sanguinary outbreaks of Chartism which were its latest
fruits? And, notwithstanding, was it not the same Go-
vernment, and the same Minister, as represented by Lord
J. Russell, which deliberately as wantonly, for the base
purposes of party and place, when at the latest moment
that Government was pronounced to be no longer entitled
to the confidence of Parliament, raised the war-cry of
" class interests" and commenced that accursed crusade
of furious agitation, the avowed and admitted object of
which was, and is, to arm every man against his neigh-
bour; so that in the melee of strife the mercenary crav-
ings of a sordid ambition might be gratified and office
secured ?

GLOBE.—The " recreant Whig" of Netherby, who,
rejected by the honest grey-coats of his own county,
' sought and found a refuge in the little snug borough of
Pembroke, " for a consideration," has announced his
intention to retire from the seat which Sir John Owen
so conveniently conferred. We have before us a copy
of the farewell address of Sir James Graham to his
constituents of the borough of Pembroke, Tenby, Mil-
ford, and Weston, in which he says :—" Conscious that
I have redeemed every pledge which I gave to you when
you elected me, and having sincerely endeavoured to serve
you with fidelity, Ishould not have hesitated to ask for a re-
newal of your. confidence, if circumstances had not oc-
curred which compel me to renounce this high honour."
This announcement has excited no small stir in the
borough thus suddenly deprived of the high honour of
having so distinguished a statesman for its Member.
The surprise was heightened by the perfect security in
which the electors were wrapped by the positive con-
tradiction which was given to a report, that the ca-
meleon Baronet intended to leave Pembroke for another
region. On the 3d instant bills were posted and dis-
tributed through the borough, assuring the elec-
tors that no intention was entertained on the part
of Sir James Graham to retire • but that he would
again offer himself as the candidate for the borough.
The truth, however, is now disclosed. The objects for
which cajolery and deception were employed, can no
longer be promoted by their use. Sir James Graham's
farewell address is a characteristic comment on the public
contradiction to the report that he intended to retire from
Pembroke; and is a new illustration of the sincerity and
uprightness by which his public career has been distin-
guished. The cause for the secrecy and deception prac-
tised upon the electors of Pembroke is now ascertained:
—" the circumstances which compel " Sir James Graham
" to retire from the high honour," are now developed—
' Risum teneatis, amid ? The Right Honourable Baronet
aspires to represent the City of Westminster ! ! His ad-
dress to the worthy Electors of Westminster will be is-
sued in the course of to-day ; and will be received
with the indignant scorn with which such• a constitu-
ency cannot fail to regard an address on such a subject,
from such a candidate.
STANDARD.—The House of Lords has established
another title to the gratitude of the country, by last night
rejecting the Jew Bill ; the Bill was thrown out on the
third reading by a majority of 98 to 64—a majority
of 34. If this measure had been one calculated to
benefit, in the slightest degree, any number of our
conscientious fellow subjects of the family of Israel, to
relieve them from any stigma, or to remove any bar
to their temporal prosperity, we should regret the
necessity of preserving the character of a Christian
eomoonity to the British nation, by refusing the re-
lief to a I.'''°l3le generally so amiable and so venerable,
from th„?ost sacred associations, as the Jewish
people ; but tre." measure is really one of which no
conscientious Jew take advantage—it is a mea-
sure simply insulting k Christianity, and affecting
Jews only m so far as it wou;',4 go to condemn the civil
and religious policy set forth n. the Scriptures which
they revere, and as it would place
,'.hem on the same
'The Jews
footing', with Mahommedans and idolators:
are a distinct nation, and it is their characte7istie and
their pride that they are so. While they adhere .4`) the
doctrines and preserve the feelings of their natioi...
they never can incorporate themselves with any
other people ; and, accordingly, we never find any
co,2nientious Jew looking for office or athority in ,
any country, Christian or Mussulman, although
Jews allost universally respect the first social
obligation common to mankind —by conducting.
' themselves as good citizens. As respects con-
scientious Hebrews, therefore, they would receive
the Bill rejected last night as a dead letter in whatever
directly concerns themeelves. But this is i;et all ; the Bill
would let in all Infidels, and all even undisguisr?! idolators,
to administer the government over Jews as well as Chris-
tians. This is what no conscientious Jew can desire; for w
are happy in the assurance that the distance between Jews '
and Christians has greatly diminished, and is rapidly dimi-
nishing. The religious Jews of this country are already
almost Christians as is manifest from their more re-
cently compiled Liturgies, and they do not disguise their
conviction, that, next to their own, the Christian dispen- '
sation, as received by Protestants, is the best form of re-
ligion, and a Christian Government the best under which,
as Jews, they can live. We but repeat the declaration of
more than one religious Jew, when we say that a Bill
of pretended relief, associating Jews with all who are not
Christians, is a more grievous affront to Jews than to
Christians. The public satisfaction at the rejection of
the infidel Bill needs therefore to be alloyed by no re-
wet on account of the Jews.
