SUDDEN DEATH.

Late on Thursday evening, Mr. Carter, the coroner
for the eastern division of Surrey, held an inquest upon
the body of John Turner Truman, aged 68, a major-
general in the East India service, who had expired sud-
denly at his residence on Wimbledon-common.

The inquiry took place at the deceased gentleman's
mansion, and the jury was principally composed of the
resident gentry. Major Oliphant, one of the directors of
the East India Company, and son-in-law of the deceased,
was present.

Thomas Turner deposed that he was footman to de-
ceased, who was a widower. His master had, until
within a very recent period of his decease, enjoyed very
excellent health. On Wednesday night, about ten
o'clock, he was heard walking about his bed-room, and
groaning. This induced witness and the housemaid to
go up to the general. They found him lying on the bed,
dressed, with the exception of his coat. He appeared to
be very ill, and complained of a great pain at the chest.
He desired witness to call in Major Oliphant directly,
and witness did so. On his return he found the general
much worse, and he breathed with difficulty. Witness
then went for Mr. Fennell, the surgeon, and that gen-
tleman was in attendance upon the deceased until within
o'culocr.kEthdawti,m, morning. a short period of his demise, took place about one
been under naedicalir-
gl,:it 'zit:lle:eased had not previously
he vv.- oennelb the surgeon, deposed that when
ealled in he found the deceased suffering from a
very serious spastimelit vain itt the chest ; he *a9 ten-
sible t he breathed with difficulty. His pulse was slow,
but full and somewhat irregular. The state deceased
was then in did not lead witness to suppose that the pain
of body was the result of anything taken or of violence
done to him. Witness put the deceased's feet in warm
water, and applied a mustard poultice over the region of
the heart. Hs remained with him two hours, when he
had somewhat rallied. Shortly after his departure he
was again sent for, and on his arrival he found he was
dead. The canso of death was disease of the heart.
Major Oliphant observed that the deceased had coin-
plained of feeling unwell a day or two previously.
The jury returned a verdict of dive from natural
causes induced by a disease of the heart:

t Hil OLD COMMODORE.

The remains of the late Commodore of the Royal
Yacht Squadion Were on Thursday deposited in the mau-
soleum at Brocklesbury. The coffin was borne, by the
seamen of his yacht, the pall by the ofacersi The good
old Earl is laid with his fathers, and

" His flag shall never float again."
The Kestrel being ho longer the property of a member of
the Royal Yacht Squadron, will rettttti to Cowes under
the red ensign, will be dismantled, and laid up in her
old berth in our river, and eventually probably sold out.
The office of Commodore will be executed by the Vice•
Commodore till the next general meeting (May next),
when he will, it is supposed, as a matter of course, be
offered the commodoreship of the squadron; and when
we consider that nearly all the old members who founded
the club are either dead or have given up yachting, it is
a subjk:ct of congratulation that the members should
have been so fortunate in their choice of a Vice-Commo-
dore. It would have been an unpleasant task to elect
another to the chair over the Vice's head, but which, in
some instances, they might have been tempted to do
from the Vice-Commodore's not going afloat, or only for
a short time during the regatta, or at a distance from
the Squadron House; but these difficulties are removed
in the present instance, as the Vice-Commodore is as
ardent an admirer and supporter of yachting as the old
Commodore was, and has done everything in his power
to increase its interest. He has bad built tor him, under
his own superintendence, some of the fastest and most
beautiful yachts that ever soiled—the Harriet, the
Louisa, and the far-famed Water-Witch; and we hope
that the party who may be selected to fill the office of
Vice-Commodore may be as warm as admirer and able
supporter of the interests of the squadron as the present
Vice has been.

Our yacht clubs are a nursery for seamen of the first-
class; the Royal Yacht Squadron alone employs 1,500
men, and the yachts are above 9,000 tons. The great
benefits which the naval and merchant service have de-
rived from the yacht clubs are far beyond what is gene-
rally known. A consequence of our peers and princely
commoners going afloat has been an imptovement in our
naval architecture, and an anxiety on the part of our
manufacturers to produce everything that could add to
the comfort and convenience of the great ones going
afloat in their little barques; and eventually our tars
are greatly benefited in their health and comfort by
having those conveniences, which were at first only in-
tended for the great, adapted to our naval and merchant
shipping.
In a national point of view, our attention is drawn to
Mr. James Brooke, the present Raja of Sarawak, in the
island of Borneo, one of the members of this club, who
went out there in his schooner yacht Royalist; and to Mr.
Benjamin Boyd, who is now in New South Wales, in his
schooner yacht Wanderer, forming a town after his name
called Boyd Town.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
SECONDARIES' COURT, October 2.
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
WATSON AND ANOTHER V. STRINGER.
This was an action for gocds sold. The plaintiffs are
ribbon-manufacturers, &e., in the City, and the defendant
is a linendraper at Hull. The amount claimed was 91.
The defendant having suffered judgment to go by de•
fault, it was therefore only necessary to prove the de-
livery of the goods as directed by the defendant. It was
proved that the principal part had been delivered to the
" boots" at the hotel where defendant lodged.
The SECONDARY said that was sufficient delivery.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

PALACE COURT, October 2.
(Before Mr. CORRIE.)
SEYSELL AND ANOTHER V. HOLM.

This was a summons under the Small Debts Act, and
the case was adjourned until this day, for the attendance
of one of the officers of the Borough Court of Requests,
named Clarke, who had been summoned under the fol-
lowing circumstances:—
Oa the summons being called on,
_ _

Mr. ATKINS, who appeared for the plaintiffs, said the
defendant asserted that she had paid the money to one
of the officers of the Borough Court of Requests, who
held an execution against her goods. He (Mr. Atkins)
had seen Clarke, and had no doubt that what defendant
said was correct, and that if the matter were inquired
into, it would be found it had been a continual practice
in those Courts to receive money, and make returns to
the executions of no effects.

The Learned JUDGE asked whether the High Bailiff
was not answerable? and was told that the officers acted
also as agents.

The defendant said the officer told her she could not
prove the payment to him.
The Learned JUDGE said, it was a most shameful
transaction, mud he would issue a summons for Clarke's
appearance, and the plaintiffs ought to see that the
matter was carried out.
Mr. ATKINS now stated that he had served Clarke,
who, however, was not in attendance ; he had sent his
assistant with 255., a part of the money, and a promise to
pay the remainder.
The Learned JUDGE said it was a very shameful case,
and if he ever heard of another like it, he would have
a statement of facts drawn up and submitted to the pro-
per authorities.

EASTERN PRODUCE.

Cotton—Prices of this staple have given way about
2r. to 3r. per candy, but transactions have nevertheless
been limited, and almost wholly for the China market.
There have been no fresh supplies, and the quality of
the cotton at market is inferior. The excessive supply
of rain in Guzerat appears to hate been most injurious
to the crops ha some localities. We quote the current
rates at iBr. for Broach, Jumbooseer, and Oomrawutty,
80r. to 81r. for Surat, 73r. to 75r. for Dollera, and 73r.
for Barsee. There is no Compta here.
In other articles of eastern produce, the only changes
worth notice are a decline of 3 rupees per cwt. in Gum
Arabic, and 1 and 2 rupees in pepper, and a rise of 15
rupees per candy in the price of ginger. There is no
wool in the market at present.

receipt of y ur letter of yesterday, by which I am glad
to learn that your attention had already been directed to
the objectionable chop referred to in my previous com-
munication. The committee entertain the hope that
your remonstrance with the Chinese authorities will
have the effect of causing to be removed from the walls
the present offensive chops, and of their being replaced
by others embracing a more correct statement of facts.

THE CoMAIANDLit OF THE ALECTO STEAM-
SLOOP. —Among the squadron employed in the Parana,
the Alecto has been of late the most distinguished in
the events that have occurred in that river, having
been closely and successfully engaged with the enemy's
batteries on three different occasion. We therefore
look with confidence to find her gallant commander's
name amongst the early protnotiens for those services,
and the more so as his conduct whilst a lieutenant in the
suppression of the slave-trade—in which service he was
badly wounded—obtained for him the highest com-
mendations of his captain and of his commander-in-
chief; together with his promotion to the rank of com-
mander.

SOUTH-SEA HousE.—Thursday a quarterly Ge-
neral Court of Proprietor's was held at the Company's
House, in Threadneedle-street. Charles Franks, Esq.,
the sub-governor, in the chair. The minutes of the last
court were read and confirmed. An account of the
company's bond debt was read by the secretary. The
committee of by-laws were re-elected, and there being
no other business, the court, on the question adjourned.

FATAL PALL FROM A STEAMBOAT.—Yesterday,
Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Crown, Green-street,
Leicester-square, on the body of John Jennings Mat-
thews, aged twenty-eight, a compositor. The deceased
and a fellow-workman, named Evans, had been passing
the evening of Wednesday at a public-house in the
Strand, with the engineer of the Bee, river steamer.
They stayed together beyond midnight, and heavy rain
coming on the engineer invited them to sleep on board
the Bee, which was moored off the Fox-under-the-Hill
Stairs, outside the Ant steamer. The engineer led the
way, and as Evans was following him, by stepping from
the Ant to the Bee, he fell into the water between theme
deceased falling in immediately afterwards. Evans clung
to the paddle-box and was saved, but deceased, being a
good swimmer, swam towards a buoy a hundred yards
oft and just as he was nearing it Ni disappeared. His
body was not found until nine o clock on Thursday
morning. The effects of a blow on the forehead, by
coming hi contact with the side of the steamer, as he
fell, is supposed to have prevented decease. d from swim-
ming too plus of safety. Verdict, "Accuitnitai death..

HAMMERSMITH.

CHARGE Or FORGERY.—AiI elderly man, named
Thomas Collyer, described on the police-sheet as a
farrier at Hanworth, Middlesex, was charged with
having knowingly uttered a forged bill of exchange
for 251.

Robert Tutton deposed that he is a livery stable
keeper in the Marlborough-road, Chelsea. Ile knew
the prisoner well. About three months ago the pri-
soner came to him at the Marlborough Arms Tavern,
College-street, Chelsea, and gave to him the bill of
exchange produced for 251., dated the 16th of June,
and told witness that it was accepted by Mr. Thomas
Coggan, the landlord of the Six Bells public-house at
Fulham.

By Mr. PAYNTER—Had before that discounted a bill
cf exchange for 251. at two months' date, which bore the
acceptance of Mr. Coggan, but when that came due, Mr.
Coggan, on notice being given him of the fact, said he
was not prepared, but that it should be all right. The
prisoner then came to witness with the bill produced,
and said that as Mr. Coggan was not prepared to take
the first one up, he had brought another bill accepted
by Mr. Coggan for one month, which he took, but did
not give up the first bill. When, however, the second
bill came due, and he went about it to Mr. Coggan, that
person said that the man who had uttered it, meaning
the prisoner, had ran away, and that he (Mr. Coggan)
knew nothing about it, and had not accepted it. Wit-
ness had since travelled upwards of two hundred miles in
search of the prisoner, who was, however, only taken
that morning.
Thomas Coggan deposed that he was landlord of the
Six Bells public-house at Fulham. Had accepted for the
prisoner a bill of exchange for 251. at two months' date
but had not since accepted another bill of exchange at
one month's date for the same amount.

The prisoner, in answer to the charge, denied the
forgery, saying he could not write, and declared that the
bill was drawn up according to an agreement he had with
Mr. Coggan.
Mr. PAYNTER, having examined the bill of exchange,
said it bore across it the words " accepted, Thomas Cog-
gan," and underneath a cross with the words " his
mark." The case was certainly a very singular one, as
a man who could not write was charged with having
written the name of another at full length across a bill
of exchange, while the mark of that person who can
write appears on that bill.
Mr. Coggan, in explanation, said that he had to the
first bill authorised his son to write his name across it,
and he added his mark. He hai not received a farthing
out of the proceeds of the bill, but lent his name to the
first bill upon the understanding that the prisoner would
be prepared to take it up when it became due. The pri-
soner had all the money.
Mr. Tutton further said, that when the prisoner
brought him the second bill, he showed witness the sig-
nature on the corner of the bill of Mr. Charles Cotton,
as a witness to the acceptance, which induced witness to
take the bill,—.Remanded fcr a week.

with regard to weeds, I am confident
it would-have a very great effect upon the cleanly farm-
ing in this part of the country.—(flear.) I will not
presume to detain you further than. to express my cor-
dial thankS; first for the patience with which you have
now listened to me ; next, for the continued and in-
creased support which you have given to the society, in
which I take a deep, and I will state also, a growing
interest. And permit me to say that while I see
in the cause of this society much to encou-
rage, and much to induce us to be , thankful
for the exertions made, and to be pleas'ed with ,
the progress that has been made, I see, also, we have
still much before us, and my earnest hope is, 'that
stimulated by the emulation produced by such socie,
ties, both landlords and tenants will exert themselves,
hand in hand, to meet the difficulties to which they, may
be exposed, whether by visitations of Providence, by the
legislation, of man, or by difficulties to which they may....
be unused. Let them exert theuiselves with true Eng-
lish spirit to meet all these difficulties with correspond 7
big exertions ; and where belief and cotifidence are, more
especially in this district, where we have the advantage
of an abundant supply of manure, and the still greater
advantage of constant and overflowing markets, close at
our doors, those exertions, if applied to the soil, will not
be invested in a treasury that will yield no return, but
one which will yield a liberal return to both landlord
and tenant. More than this ; these increased exertions
—and the increased interest felt by both will tend to
that which is most for the interest of all classes of the
community—namely, to a cordial and thorough ;;‘Yid
ural,r,tanding between landlords and tenant- farmers.—
(Cheers.) With these sentiments, and an apoltgy for
the lengt.,l of
my observations, I beg to propose as a
bumper toast,
" Prosperity to the Liverpool Agricul-
tural Society."—(Loud cheers.)
