THE DUCHY OF LANCASTER.

On the sth of October we made the following state-
ment:—" We understand that a department of the Go-
vernment, hitherto carried on under a chief, is, for the
future, to be managed by the same chief, assisted by a
board of unpaid commissioners. The names of the
latter we are not yet at liberty to disclose, but, if we mis-
take not, they will throw a very curious light on the
present state of parties in this country." There is now
no longer any necessity for preserving the secrecy that
was at the time imposed on us. The department al-
ludvd to is that of the Duchy of Lancaster, and the in-
tended board of commissioners—however surprising the
fact may appear to our readers—will be composed of the
Earl of Spencer, the Earl of Lincoln, Sir James
Graham, and the Earl of Hardwicke ! We
were strictly correct in saying that these com-
missioners will receive no pecuniary emolument ; but we
do hear that certain arrangements have been made in
reference to the distribution of patronage, by virtue of
which the new Board will not be left altogether without
influt nce. Indeed, it is hinted that this provision is so
ample as to have already excited no inconsiderable indig-
nation in a Noble Lord who imagines that he has been
unfairly deprived of the advantages he formerly pos-
sessed. Of this, however, we know nothing ; it is for
the present, quite enough for us to know that two
members of Sir Robert Peel's late Cabinet, and a noble-
man who held an appointment in the royal household
under the same Administration, have accepted office at
the bands of Lord John Russell. Were we altogether
wrong when, five weeks ago, we ventured to say that
the circumstance would " throw a very curious light on
the present state of parties in this country ?"—Post.
[We do not believe there is any truth in the above. A
commission of inquiry may be appointed, but no per-
manent Board superseding the present.—ED. Sun.]

Mr. George Robins has for a long time threatened
to furnish his beautiful Marine Villa, at Kemp-town.
He has at length redeemed his promise. We have not
been in the favoured list that have had a bird's-eye view
of the tact that we learn is so conspicuous throughout,
but we are assured there is no other mansion whose pre-
tensions can at all approach the one under review. Next
week we promise our readers to go and judge for our-
selves. It should seem it is to be ready for occupation
next week. Mr. Robins does not intend to let it
for a less period than three or five years; he observes
he cannot afford to have all the gold obliterated from the
gingerbread before it has been six months occupied. It
will be a treat to see it, and a private order can be ob-
tained from Mr. Robins at the Old Ship, to admit any
one not determinedly bent on curiosity only. It will be
seen there has been a great christening in East-street;
Mr. Robins now proclaims Mr. Martin of old " the
Brighton Gillow" for ever and ever.—Brighton Gazette.
DEATH FROM LAUDANUM.—Yesterday Mr. Mills

Clerkenwell, on the body of Mr. Samuel Matth.iesohne,
aged 26, a wine agent, living at 22,.

died in the afternoon. Mr. Fogarty had since cpened
the body,"ar d said the cause of death was apoplexy,in-
duced by laudanum. Several witnesses having proved
the disturbed state of deceased's mind, and his habit of
taking opium as a remedy, the jury returned the follow-
ing verdict:—" That the deceased died from the effects
of laudanum, drunk whilst labouring under the effects of
temporary insanity; but whether he drank it for the
purpose of destroying himself, or took an overdose as a
remedy, there was not evidence enough to prove."
We perceive that Zadkiel's Almanac, which has
had an extensive sale for sixteen years past, is reduced
in price to sixpence. It is likely to sell largely ; but we
hope that the prediction of disease in the wheat may not
be as correct as was that this year regarding the potatoes.

Sergeant. at-Arms in the House of Commons, will for
the future rank as Major-General in the Army, which

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.
EXTRAORDINARY DELUSIONS.—EFFECTS OF
PROSPERITY.
Yesterday a commission de lunatico inquirendo was
opened before Mr. Commissioner Winslow and nineteen
special jurors, at the Manor House, Stoke Newington,
to inquire into the state of mind of Mr. Thomas Teague,
aged 37, described in the commission as of Birmingham,
but now an inmate of Mr. Birkett's asylum, Northum-
berland House, Stoke Newington.
The unfortunate gentleman is a wealthy tradesman at
Birmingham, possessed of property to the amount of
about 40,0001., having no relations who can at present
be found. The commission, which was unopposed, was
taken out by a friend, Mr. A. S. Stocker, of Bartholo-
mew-close. In support of the commission, Mr. H.
Weeks, of Clifford's Inn, appeared as solicitor ; and Mr.
Rupert Kettle, of the Chancery bar, as counsel.
From the Learned Counsel's statement, the evidence of
Mr. Birkett, of Northumberland House, Henry Croft,
an attendant ; Mr. A. T. Spencer, surgeon ; Mr. H. P.
Bee, surgeon ; and other testimony, it appeared that
Mr. Teague was a native of Wales, that he had been
apprenticed to a painter and glazier, at Birmingham,
where he became very industrious and frugal—even
penurious. He afterwards established himself in busi-
ness, and continuing penurious as 1,61 as industrious,
he became successful, and amassed property, the posses-
sion of which seemed first to have impaired his mind,
which seemed to have more decidedly given way on his
inheriting freehold property in Wales. It was in the
month of July last that his state of mind became appa-
rent, and his strange and incoherent conduct at the
house of Mr. Stock, r, gunmaker, of the Strand, ren-
dered it necessary that he should be placed under re-
straint, and he was subsequently removed to Northu ü-
berland House, where he laboured under the delusion
that he was Christ, and also that the Saviour was in the
room with him, several hours at a time; that he was im-
mensely rich, possessed of millions, offering to advance
thousands to many persons; that Northumberland House
belonged to him, for which he was (as he said) paying
500/. a year; that he (himself) was God Almighty, and
so was Mr. Birkett; that he had killed somebody; that
he was Buonaparte, and Buonaparte's son; that their at-
tendants were all Wellingtons, and that he turned into
devils of all shapes, being satarised, as he termed it by
a large quantity of mercury, which had been given to
him by a country doctor, &c. As a further proof of
the state of his mind, he was accustomed to anoint his
person with filth, and even to mix it with his food.
The unfortunate gentleman, a tall, slim, but wild-look-
-1 ing man, was introduced and seated by the side of the
L( arned Commissioner. He said, in answer to questions,
that he knew the nature of the inquiry ; that all his re-
latives lived at Mr. Birkett's ; that his property was
worth 25,000/. a year, &c.
A juror—Do you still carry on business at Birming-
ham. Mr. Teague (putting himself into a fighting atti-
tude)—Yes, I'll paint your portrait whenever you please.
Having answered two or three other questions, he said,
" It's all right—if you want to know any more, speak
to Mr. Birkett, for I want my dinner."
Here he rose abruptly, and left the room.
The jury immediately expressed themselves satisfied,.
and returned a verdict, dating the unsoundness of his
mind from the 29th July, 1846.

MANSLAUGHTER.
Yesterday an inquest was held by adjournment, before
Mr. W. Baker, coroner, and a jury, at the Duke of Wel-
lington, in John-street, Limehouse, on the body of Julia
Fitzgerald, aged 15 years, who died on Friday last, from
the effects of injuries she received on the Bth of Septem-
ber last, during a quarrel with a family named King.
It appeared in evidence that the deceased was a
waistcoat-maker, and formerly lived with her maternal
parent, at No. 8, Samuel. street, Limehouse. fields. The
family consisted of five individuals, the deceased, her
widowed mother, two sisters and a brother, and they
occupied one small room. They were all employed in
making up slop work, by which they obtained a very
miserable subsistence, their small earnings being
scarcely sufficient to procure the necessaries of life. On
Tuesday, the Bth of September, the goods of the mother
were distrained upon for 12s. 6d., arrears of rent due to
her landlord, man named King, who lived in the same
house. A quarrel was the consequence of this proceed-
ing, and Mrs. King took away the slop work on which
Mrs. Fitzgerald and her family were engaged. Mrs.
King was assisted in this proceeding by her two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Green and Mrs. Sumner, and they professed
to claim the trousers, waistcoats, and other things, by
virtue of an order from a magistrate, which had never
been made. The three women followed Mrs. Fitzgerald,
and Mrs. King knocked her down and took the property
from her. The deceased came to the assistance of her
mother, and Mrs. Sumner struck the deceased a violent
blow on the back with her fists. The girl attempted to
enter the house, and Mrs. Sumner again struck her a
violent blow on her right side. Green also struck the
girl on-the right side, and she fell to the ground and
fetched her breath heavily, as if she was very seriously
hurt. Richard King, a youth, eighteen years of age,
the son of the landlord, joined in the outrage on the poor
girl, and struck her on the breast close to the coal-hole
door. The whole of the goods, which were of trifling
value, were taken away by King, and the family here
turned into the street. They subsequently obtained
another apartment at a small house in George-street,
Limehouse-fields. The deceased complained of severe
pains in her right side the day she was beaten, and sub-
sequently she repeatedly said that Richard King had
kicked her on the stomach, and that the wretches—
meaning King and his family—had murdered her. Her
body was se-verely bruised from the blows she received,
and she continued in great pain until Friday last, when
she expired.
The CORONER summed up at great length ; and th e
jury, after deliberating for nearly an hour, returned a
verdict of " Manslaughter against Richard King the
younger, and Sarah Green anddane Sumner, his sisters,"
and Mr. 13akc r immediately issued his warrant for their
apprehension and committal to Newgato.

The extensive and eligible estates of the late Wil-
liam Crowdy, Esq., the eminent solicitor of Highworth,
in Wiltshire, have been for some time announced in our
columns for sale by auction by Mr. George Robins, at
the Goddard Arms, Swindon, un Monday, the 23d inst.
The property includes the family residence at High-
worth, with lands and houses in all direction=, which
from their excellence and position, will no doubt excite
much competition, especially the lands, approximating
upon the Swindon station of the Great Western railway.
There are also farms at South Marston, Lechlade, and
Letcombe, which offer excellent investments, and cannot
fail to command the attention of capitalists.
NARROW ESCAPE OF AN AGED FEMALE AND
THREE CHILDREN FROM BURNlNG.—Yesterday fore-
noon a fire broke out at No. 1, Crown-court, Great
Trinity-lane, City, occupied by Mr. Thomas Lane, which
was nearly attended with disastrous consequences.
During the absence of the mother, three small cnildren
were left alone, in a room on the ground floor, when they
commenced playing with the fire, and set the bed and
furniture in flames. The discovery having been very
opportunely made by some of the neighbours, the chil-
dren were rescued; but the flames having obtained such
a strong hold, it was found necessary to send for the en-
gines, and the fire was soon extinguished. The smoke
that was caused by the burning of the bed was so dense,
and of such a suffocating nature, that an aged female at
the top of the house, was prevented from descending the
stairs, and she had just got to oi.e of the upper windows,
and was in the act of throwing herself out, when she was
laid hold of by Morris, one of the firemen, who carried
her down stairs, and thereby saved her life. Mr. Lane,
unfortunately, Mils uninsured.
FALL OF THREE HOUSES AT OLD BROMPTON,
AND Loss OF LlFE.—Yesterday evening, between the
hours of five and six o'clock, the utmost excitement was
created in the neighborhood of Pelham-square, Old
Brompton, in consequence of the sudden falling of three
newly-erected unfinished houses, situated on the south
side of a recently formed thoroughfare, known as Alfred-
place, Pelham-square. It appears that about a quer-
' ter of an hour previous to the occurrence upwards of
twenty men were employed on the premises, but in con-
sequence of the approaching darkness nut permitting
them to continue their work, they, with the exception of
three, left the buildings. James Hashey, William
Monney, and Patrick O'Sullivan were the names of the
three individuals left at work. They were engaged at
the top of the premises preparing some scaffolding,
when they were called upon by a fellow-labourer,
named Mullingford, to come down, for the house was
falling. The men, however, unfortunately disre-
garded this warning, and merely replied that
they were not so easily made fools of. O'Sullivan was
then about to descend a ladder, but before he had
reached the bottom the house fell in with a loud
crash, immediately, followed by the fall of the ad-
joining house on the left side, and also the partial falling
of that on the right. The workman who was descend-
ingche
the ladder was pitched heavily forward,,b ywb h
sustained numerous very serious wounds,
re-
sult fatally. His companion Monney
was buried

or three weeks since, while employed on the same
some of ti.
works, met with an accident of such a severe nature as
to confine him in St. Bartholomew's Hospital up to a
day previous to his melancholy and violent death. The
property thus destroyed belonged to Mr. Holmes, an ex-
tensive house owner in that district.

RIGHTS OF THE WIFE.—The New York Consti-
tutional Convention has adopted the following section,
by a vote of 58 to 44:—" All property of the wife
owned by her at the time of her marriage, and acquired
by her afterwards by gift, devise, or descent, or other-
wise than from her hubsand, shall be her separate pro-

RAILWAY BRIDGE OVER THE TWEED.—We under-
stand that the contract for building the bridge over the
Tweed, in connexion with the Newcastle and Berwick
Railway, has just been let to Messrs. M'Kay and Black-
stock for 180,0001. Messrs. M‘Kay and Blackstock are
the contractors for a portion of the Newcastle line in the
neighbourhood of Belford, and we understand that their
works there have given great satisfaction. The bridge
will be a light and elegant structure, its height 120 feet,
the arches are 27 in number, and we need scarcely say
that it will be one of the noblest architectural objects in
the kingdom. The works, we believe, will be com-
menced without delay.—Edinburgh Evening Post.

The Bestwall and Swineham estates, announced
for sale in our columns, situate close to the borough town
of Wareham, and upon which, it is said, they have at
each election a material and important influence, were
for many years the pet or model farms of the late Sir
Clan Scott, Bart., by whom they were wonderfully
Imped, and rendered the best farms in the county ;
at his death they were sold to Mr. Harry Hammond,
who built a pleasant, comfortable residence upon the
property, commanding the most extensive and beautiful
'view of the Dorsetshire hills, including the majestic
ruins of Cods Castle. The death of the proprietor
renders a sale of this desirable property peremptorily
necessary, and Mr. Robins speaks of it in the highest
terms, strongly recommending it to his friends, the ca-
pitalists, possessing, as it does, all the elements for safe and
permanent investment—indeed, one more desirable is
seldom to be met with in the market.
THE VALUE OF BRAIN LABOUR IN THE ARTS.—
In a recent lecture, delivered at the Bradford Mechanics'
Institute, " On the fine arts, and their application to in-
dustrial purposes," by Mr. G. Wallis, late principal of
the Manchester School of Design, the lecturer produced
a French miniatpre jug, beautiful in design, and stated.,
that the clay of *hich the jug was composed would cost
about half a farthing, whereas by the brain labour of the
designer, its value was increased to half-a•crown. The
material form of another jug had, in like manner, bad its
original value of a farthing increased to seven francs
(ss. 10d.) in consequence of the colours which had been
bestowed upon it in ornamenting it. He stated that
there was an indisposition, from the non-appreciation of
the works of arts, to pay the high price for their embel-
lishments which our continental neighbours, whose taste
was educated, paid for them; and he said that they
might depend upon it, that Englishmen would produce
works equally as beautiful in the art of design as the
French, when they had equal encouragements, and when
the people could appreciate the truly beautiful.—The
Builder.

A painful difference of feeling has for a considerable
period existed between the rector and parishioners of
Vange, in this county, in consequence of the former
having introduced several alterations in the performance
of Divine worship in that church, more particularly in
the dressing up of the altar, on which were placed a
cross, candles and candlesticks, and vases, containing
bouquets of flowers, which gave great offence to the con-
gregation, many of whom, in consequence, absented
themselves from attendance on public worship. These
novelties called forth the strong disapprobation of the
Venerable Archdeacon Jones, upon his inspection of this
church, during his last parochial visitation, and he ex-
pressed a hope that the rector would immediately see
the propriety of their discontinuance. This direction
not being complied with, and the same unhappy feeling
still prevailing, the churchwarden himself removed the
obnoxious ornaments from the altar ; but this step,
unfortunately, created a wider breach between the rector
and his flock. The circumstances were now commented
upon by the London press with much freedom. Ulti-
mately the matter was brought under the notice of our
new and respected diocesan, the Bishop of Rochester, and
on Wednesday te'nnight his Lordship, accompanied by a
reverend gentleman of the neighbourhood, went to
Vange, and made an investigation of the circumstances.
His Lordship, we are informed, directed the immediate re-
moval of the cross, candlesticks and candles, and vases
and Powers, and gave such directions as to the futurt
performance of Divine service as will, we trust, put an
end to that unhappy difference which has so long existed
upon this subject, and enable all to join fervently and
heartily in the public worship of God.—Essex Heald.
EXPLOSIVE SAWDUST.—The following is addressed
to the Leeds Mercury, by George Turner, Wchmo'd-
street, Leeds:—" Raving engaged myself to make some
of the now far-famed gun cotton. I came at results b)
my experiments which coilvince me that all fibrous or
finely serrated vegetable materials can be made to pro-
duce an explosive compound, similar in many respects to
gunpowder, being of not so easy manufacture as the gun
cotton. I here enclose to you a specimen the pro-
posed gun sawdust, which can either be tested by putting
it into the fire or sprinkling over your gas or candle.
The preparation is thus :—Take of nitric acid of specific
gravity 1.5 two measures ; commercial oil of vitriol two
measures also • pour the two acids into a bum, then
gradually sprinkle into the compound acid the sawdust
in a dry condition, and care must be taken that the saw-
dust must not be poured into the acid too rapidly, else
the result will be a decomposition of the nitric acid into
nitrous acid and a carbonaceous matter. Continue to
sprinkle the sawdust until nearly the whole of the acid
contained in the bason is absorbed. Cover your bason
over with a plate to keep in the fumes from the acid. '
Allow the sawdust to remain in the acid a space of eight
or ten minutes. Pour then into the bason as much
water as it will hold, and the sawdust, by the action of
the compound acid, has become of a higher specific
gravity, by which property the prepared sawdust sinks to
the bottom of the vessel. Pour the water off, fill it again,
and continue to wash until you, on tasting the water in
the bason, no longer perceive acidity. Dry it then in a
culirent of warm air; be careful not to allow your tem-
perature to be too high; you may place it upon the over
if not too hot. When it is perfectly dry it is ready
either for the gun or pistol, &c. I think it is equal to
Mr. Taylor's gun cotton in every respect."
NEW USE FOR WATER-WORKS.—A rather novel
source of mechanical power, and curious application o?
that power, have lately been adopted at Newcastle, on
the quay of which a hydraulic crane, worked by the
pressure of water in the common street water-pipes, has
been erected, under the partial protection of a patent, by
Mr. W. Armstrong. The pillar and jib alone appear
above ground, and the application of the power to the
instrument, in all its movements, is regulated with ra-
pidity, as well as delicacy, by means of indicators, tra-
versing circularly on engraved plates or indexes. Though
not the first time that water-works have been applied in
the accumulation of mechanical power,, this rather ele-
gant application of it to the ordinary business of a
town opens up a wide vista, through which may be
traced the indefinite outline of multiform uses for such
a convenient power, in the sphere of domestic as well as
of business life.— The Builder.
PUBLIC BATLIS AND WASEI-HOUSES.—In Manches-
ter the erection of the additional private baths at this
establishment has very favourably progressed, and there
appears no doubt hut that they will soon be fully
com-
pleted. The shower baths are now nearly in general
use, and have given the highest satisfadtion, as far as
they have at present been used. The extraordinary in-
crease in the
