" Well, if you don't know, I'll teach you better manners."
I was then locked up for a week by the instructions of the
commanding officer, and after that was sentenced to one

hundred lashes. I declare what I said was said in ignorance,
and that it was not intended to he insolent.
. .

Loud cries of shame followed this statement, but they
were immediately checked by Mr. Mills, the Deputy Coroner.
The ConoNER inquired of Mr. Day, the surgeon, whether
he examined the spinal marrow of the deceased?
Mr. Day replied that he had not, as he did not think it
necessary.
The CORONER said, that although he might be medically
satisfied with Mr. Day's testimony, he was not so judically,
and he would therefore order the body to be exhumed.
An attorney from Brentford, in the course of the proceed-
ings, said he appeared on behalf of the military authorities;
but the Coroner could not allow him to proceed, remarking,
that if he permitted such discussion, his Court would be con-
verted into a bear• garden, a pleasure Le had no desire to
witness.—( Laughter.)
The Brentford attorney, who had conducted himself with
considerable hauteur, resumed his seat.
The inquest was adjourned until Monday next.

might be the means of limiting that spider, the re-

I am not against the army, but the internal regula-

UNION BANK OF AUSTRALIA.—The annual meeting o
this company was held yesterday at the offices in Old
Broad-street, J. J. Cummins, Esq., in the chair. The report
of the directors was of a favourable nature, although the
business done was limited in extent. The result of the
year's operations had enabled the directors to add 5,605/.
19s. 3d. to the permanent reserve fund, which now amounts
to 45,335/. 15s. 6d., and to pay a dividend after the rate of
six per cent. per annum. The improving condition of the
colonists had rendered accommodation less remunerative,
especially at the New Zealand Branch, but the revival of
confidence would soon, it was expected, open a legitimate
source for the employment of the banking capital. The
balance-sheet showed the liabilities to be 1,027,1621. 12s. 9d.,
and the assets a similar amount. The profit for the year
ending at the branches 31st December, 1845, and at London
30th June, 1846, was 56,0591. 12s. 4d. The reserve fund was
now 45,3351. 15s. 6d., and the balance of undivided profit was
44,8821. 7s. 6d. After the report was read, a discussion of
no public importance took place, in which Mr. Levy, Mr. G.
E. Robinson, Mr. Ilelme, and others took part, when it was
adopted unanimously. Three directors were then elected,
namely, Robert Brookes, J. R. Todd, and W. Wilson, Esqs.
A vote of thanks having been passed to the directore, the
meeting adjourned.
BRITISH ORPHAN ASYLUM Yesterday, the half-
yearly meeting of the governors of this charity for the elec-
tion of eight children from a list of twenty-seven candidates,
was held at the London Tavern; J. B. Brooke, Esq., in the
chair. The report for the past year was favourable, both as
regarded the inmates and the financial accounts. Amongst
the legacies received was the bequest of the late George
Bangley, Esq., of St. John's-wood, of a share of residuary
property (minus duty), amounting to 9001. At the close of
the election, the Chairman presented rewards, amounting to
various sums, to those children who have left the institution,
and attended with satisfactory testimonials from their em-
ployers. The business of the day being concluded, thanks
were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up.
DEATH OF THE EARL OF KILKENNY.—Died, at Bally-
conra, at six o'clock on the evening of Thursday, the 16th
inst.' the Right Hon. Edmund Earl of Kilkenny, in the
76th year of his age. Dying without issue, the Earldom of
Kilkenny becomes extinct, but the title of Viscount Mount-
arret descends to Henry Edmund, son of the late Hon.
Henry Butler, brother of the deceased Earl.—Kilkenny
Journal.
Lieutenant Pearce, many years warden of Woolwich
dockyard, but who was superseded by the Metropolitan police
being ordered on duty there, died last Friday, at his residence
in the Kent-road. The deceased, who had seen great service,
was the eldest son of William IV„ and was with his Majesty
in the actions in America in 1788, where he was taken pri-
soner, but was subsequently released by a gallant sailor, who
shot the man that had charge of him.
SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. WAKEFIELD, Q.C.—We

field, the well-known Queen's Counsel, who was found dead
in his shower bath at an early hour yesterday morning. Mr.
Wakefield was in perfect health on Saturday, and was to
have replied in a cause in the Vice-Chancellor's Court yes-
terday.
SUPPOSED SUICIDE OF A BOY FROM ILL-TREAT-
MENT.—An inquest was held last evening before Mr. Payne,
at the Wheatsheaf, Borough-market, on the body of
Jeremiah Doyle, aged fifteen. John M'Gragh said, that he
knew the deceased, who resided next door to him in Grange-
walk, Bermondsey. On Saturday night last witness met
him in the streets crying, and on asking him what was the
matter with him, he answered that his mother had beaten him
with a poker and kicked him for having hit his sister. Wit-
ness saw that his ear was bleeding. George W are said, that
he found the body of the deceased floating in the river near
the steps of London-bridge on Sunday morning. Maria
Doyle, the mother of the deceased, denied that she had
beaten the deceased in the manner stated, and said that she
merely gave him two or three slaps. He was a very sulky
boy. The Coroner said, that though the deceased might
have drowned himself in consequence of the beating he had
received from his mother, she would not be criminally re-
sponsible for his death. The jury returned a verdict of
" Found drowned."
Mr. C. Green again ascended in his Nassau Balloon
yesterday evening from Cremorne Gardens. lie was accom-
panied by Mrs. Green, by the Hon. Mr. Clifton, and eight
other gentlemen. The balloon ascended very majestically,
and passed over London towards Essex.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE BLACKWA.LL RAILWAY
STATION.—An accident, unhappily attended with fatal conse-
quences, occurred at the Blackwell station of this railway on
Saturday night, at a quarter past ten o'clock, to a gentleman I
of the name of Charlesford. t appears he, had, with a friend.
come down by the previods train -from London, and had gone
on the pier to ascertain If a vessel from Rotterdam had ar-
rived, when hearing the last train depart, he imprudently
ran through one of the side platform doors (without a ticket),
although cau:ioned by his friend not to do so, and before the
Company's servants were aware of his presence, endeavoured.
to jump on the train whilst in motion, but unfortunately
missed his step and fell between two carriages, whereby he
was frightfully crushed. Medical aid was promptly on the
spot, but he expired on being removed from the platform.

COFFEE AND EATING-HOUSE
KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION.
The half-yearly meeting of the subscribers to this excellent
institution was held yesterday evening, at Anderton's Hotel,
Fleet street.

Mr. BIN MORE was called to the chair, and said that he should
occupy the time of the meeting but a very few minutes. They
were called together that evening for a most important object.
They bad been convened by circular, as well as by adver-
tisement, to transact their usual half-yearly business, and
also to elect officers for the ensuing year. From this state-
ment he had no doubt they would consider he was justified
in his conclusion, that their business was most important—
(Hear)—for could there be anything of greater import-
ance than the selection of gentlemen who would give up their
time to carry into practical operation the views for which this
society was instituted. Such were the gentlemen whom
they should entrust with the management of their affairs,
for it was by these means alone that they would be enabled
to raise sufficiency of funds to meet the demands that had
been and were still imposed upon them.—( Hear, hear.) The
next business] was to hear the committee render an ac-
count of their doings since the period when they had been
erected, and with which he could safely assert, on the part of
himself and his fellow-committeemen they would feelj amply
repaid. They would also hear the report of the auditors.
After that the election of the officers would take place.
There was a very important motion to be brought under
their consideration by their tried friend Mr. Rogers.—
(Hear, hear.) In giving notice of this motion, the
terms of the Act. of Parliament relating to these
societies had been complied with, the same having been read
at two previous meetings. It now, therefore, rested with
them to deal with it as they might think best.—(Cheers.)
He trusted that upon this and every other subject that might
come before them that evening every gentleman who might
address them would be listened to with patience and atten-
tion. There was no other notice, but before concluding he
would mention that the sub-committee would be glad to ad-
vise with their friends with regard to the proposed excursion
to Brighton.—(Hear, hear.)
The SECRETARY then read the circular calling the meet-
ing, and the minutes of the last meeting, which were con-
firmed.

The SECRETARY then read the report, from which it ap-
peared that the funded property of the society was not
increasing, as in former years, which, however, could be ac-
counted for in a satisfactory manner; and that the annual
subscriptions, upon which they mainly depended, amounted
to the same as last year, but a large increase was expected
in this source of revenue next year. It also appeared that
the committee had resolved to divide themselves into sub-
committees, and with the assistance of the secretary, to try
all their efforts to increase the number of annual subscribers,
which had been resorted to once in two or three years
with considerable success. The report further stated
that the excursion to Herne Bay, in July last, had
afforded much gratification to their friends, and left
a surplus prefit of 181., together with a donation from the
stewards of 5/. ss. The ball at the Crown and Anchor
Tavern had realised 11/. 14s. 6d., and the dinner at the Free-
masons' Tavern 601. The decrease in the particular of dona-
tions was to be attributed to not having received donations
from newspaper proprietors, who would be waited on in the
ensuing year. 1001. had been added to the funds during the
past year, while the interest on the money invested amounted
to 66/., making a sum total standing in the name of the
trustees of 1,749/., and leaving a balance in the treasurer's
hands of 12/. 2s. 2d., together with several donations. The
report also stated that the committee wished to call the at-
tention of the meeting to the circumstance of their being
without a patron since the death of the Marquis
of Westminster, but that General Sir De Lacy Evans, after
being applied to, had sent a letter to say that he would use
all his influence to induce some noblemen to become patrons
of the society, and thus retrieve the loss they had sustained.
—(Hear, hear.) The committee had referred the difference
which had taken place at the last meeting to Mr. Tidd Pratt,
the barrister appointed to certify the rules of friendly so-
cieties, who confirmed the vote of the former meeting, and
stated that any person subscribing annually was entitled to
vote and speak at their meetings.
It was then moved and seconded that the report be adopted,
which being put from the chair, was carried.
The CHAIRMAN said it now devolved upon them to pro-
ceed with the election of a president for the ensuing year.
Mr. HARE said he felt great pleasure in performing a duty
which he was now called upon to discharge,to nominate as an
eligible: person for the high office of president of their society
a gentleman with whom they had been associated, whom he
had ever found most diligent in performing the most arduous
tasks, and one who by his zeal and unassuming manner had
acquired the esteem and gratitude of their association—he
meant Mr. Conneybeer.—(Cheers.) It was unnecessary to
add more than that if they elected the gentleman he had
just named, he would exert himself to the best of his ability
to tread worthily in the footsteps of his predecessors.
Mr. CuisLitre seconded the resolution, which was carried
unanimously.
Mr. CONNEYBEER briefly but appropriately returned
thanks, and stated that he would do all in his power to ad-
vance the best interests of the society.—(Hear, hear. )
The thanks of the meeting were then voted unanimously
to Mr.' Binmore, the president for the past year, for the
zealous and efficient manner in which he had discharged
his duties for the last two years.
The CHAIRMAN said, he was not prepared for that mark
of their esteem; but for the flattering manner in which his
friend had introduced his name, and for the equally flatter-
ing and spontaneous mode in which it had been received, he
felt deeply indebted to both.—(Hear, hear.) In returning
them his sincere thanks for that grateful tribute, he begged
to assure them that he felt more' than ten times remunerated
for any labours he might have undergone in the discharge of
those duties which they had done him the honour to confide
to his custody, and that he would ever look back to that
moment with unalloyed gratification and pride.—(Cheers.)
He must now call upon them to elect their vice-president.
Several persons present were nominated and seconded, but
declined accepting the office for that year, promising, how-
ever, that in their case, should their services be required in
an official capacity, that they would act if called upon at the
next election.
Mr. Chislett was among those who refused, but was ulti-
mately induced to accept the office.
Mr. HUMPHREYS, the treasurer, was then re-elected, and
briefly returned thanks.
The committee were then elected, and the five auditors of
the past year, with the exception of Mr. Ricci, whose place
was supplied by Mr. Jones, were re-elected.
The CHAIRMAN said, he had now to call their attention to
the last business of the evening, namely, the motion to which
he had alluded in the few opening observations he felt called
upon to address to them that evening.—(Hear.) That mo-
tion was in these words.—(The Chairman read the motion,
which was to the effect that the pensions of the society be
raised, for the males from ss. a week to Bs. a week, and for
the females from ss. to 6s. a week. )—This would certainly
affect the finances of the society, and was consequently a
matter of very grave consideration. But, whatever determi-
nation they might come to with respect to this matter, he
was sure it would in the discussion receive full justice at their
hands.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. Roczns said, they had heard from their chairman that
the question was most important.—(Hear.) That was un-
questionably the case, inasmuch as it concerned them all in-
dividually; for there was not one amongst them who could
fore see what might occur to himself or his family ; and lie
trusted, therefore, whatever might transpire upon that oc-
casion would not be regarded in a personal point of view.
He would now state the grounds which had induced him
to propose this increase in the pensions; but it would be
necessary first to mention the reason why he proposed an
excess for one sex. The cause of his making this difference
was, that, as they were all aware, men, when advanced in
life, would require some little assistance in culinary matters;
for all of them were not domestic men, and even some of
them might have been brought up at sea. Besides,
13/. a year would barely do more than keep a man from the
workhouse. He therefore believed that if they gave
him 20/. a year they would enable him to procure
some few of the comforts of life, besides showing to
their subscribers their desire to do all they could with
the funds at their disposal.—(Hear.) With respect to
the females, though ls. increase might be considered very
small, yet, considering that their requirements were not so
great, and that they stood less in need of assistance than the
other sex, from their domestic character, he thought even
that sum would be of advantage to them, a fact which in-
deed must be familiar to every one in society.—(Hear.)
Looking at the effects of this increase, independently of the
advantages that would result to the recipients of their
bounty, would it not tend to procure for them that patronage,
the want of which they so much deplored ? How could they
ask for patronage from a nobleman for an institution
which had been nine years in existence, and out of
which only two persons had been relieved ? He
believed, therefore, that the more liberality they dis-
played, the more would their society increase in
prosperity.—( Hear, hear.) Now, they were all anxious for
the increase of their funds, and what better means, if they re-
garded the subject in a broad and comprehensive light,
could be devised than making those funds flow in their
legitimate channel, and disperse them among those for whose
benefit they were originally designed. It would have the
effect of bringing new members to their society, their funds
would necessarily increase, and the further they carried their
object still greater would be their increase. He hoped and
trusted, therefore, that they would act with liberality and
kindness that night, for they ware all born but not buried,
and they could not foresee what calamities might yet befal
themselves or their families.
The resolution was seconded.
Mr. HALE said, he considered that the course recommended
by the last speaker would be most injudicious, and so far
from having the effect predicted would have quite a diffe-
rent tendency, and concluded by proposing that the question
be adjourned sine die. _
This amendment was seconded by Mr. FRENCH, who ex-
pressed his opinion that the small number of subscribers for
the past years demonstrated the impolicy of the increase
contended for.
After a few words from Mr. ROGERS in reply, the amend-
ment was put from the chair, and carried unanimously.
The meeting then separated.

The lovers of flowers will have an unusual treat at
the Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens on Wednesday next,
when the Royal South London Floricultural Society hold
their (last but one) Miscellaneous Flower Show. The prizes
are on an unusually liberal scale, and, combined with the
attractions of the gardens, must ensure a crowded attendance.
BENEVOLENCE.—bir. Alderman Copeland, the trea-
surer to the King College Hospital, has just received, in aid
of the funds for the erection of a more healthy and extensive
College Hospital, on a more suitable spot, the singular but
handsome donation of three hundred and twenty-one pounds
and tenpence, from an anonymous subscriber. The only sig:
nature appended to the note by the benevolent donor, was
" Anonymous, per E. and F., in aid of the funds for the erec-
tion of an hospital on a more extensive and suitable scale."
Tom Oliver, the celebrated pugilist, and " master of
the ceremonies" at pugilistic contests, is now in " durance
vile" in Oxford gaol for following his professional avocation
in the late pugilistic issue between Gill and Norley. His so-
journ will last three weeks.
THE ROBBERY AT GENERAL G AOSVENOR'S.—At
Marlborough-street Police-court yesterday, John Jones, the
late valet of General Grosvenor, was committed for trial,
charged with having stolen 95/. in bank••notes and a quan-
tity of jewellery, the property of his master; a woman
named Ann Stokes was also committed for having partici-
pated in the robbery. No new facts were elicited at this
examination. Jones repeated his former statement, that he
took the property for the purpose of display, and intended
to return it, but he got drunk and was taken to the police-
_ station.
