LONDON' WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 5, 1846.

The Coroner's inquest on the unfortunate soldier
Wank; has concluded its labours—the jury have dig
charged their duty in a manner alike honourable to
themselves and beneficial to the community. It was
their constitutional privilege to declare by their ver-
dict the cause which led to the death of the person
respecting whom they were impanelled, and also to
express their opinion of the injurious tendency of
any practice which, although not illegal per se,
might yet lead to injurious and fatal results. They
have spoken out manfully and nobly—they have re-
corded their own deliberate and solemn convictions on
tho subject, and have called upon the British people
to join heart and hand fur the purpose of removing
the stain and disgrace inflicted on them by
so vile a practice being sanctioned in their country.
The following is a copy of the verdict of the jury,

HERRING FISHING.

BEnwwK.—We have this week had a very poor fishing.
The highest take for a night's fishing has been ten crane ;
most of the boats, however, not having got even one cran
for the whole week's labour. The boats which were out
on Wednesday night did not get into the harbour till
Thursday night, and then with a great deal of toil EA
labour in contending with the strong run of fresh water
out of the river.

ETEMOUTH, JULY 30.—0 n Saturday last we had Si
excellent fishing, highest boat forty crans, price 255. per
cran ; but as the morning advanced and the boats ar-
rived with good takes, the price came down to 18s. per
cran. Two Yarmouth vessels got cargoes and sailed.
On Tuesday and Wednesday morning the fishing was
not so heavy, but a general take from three to nine
crans per boat was obtained. This morning highest
boat fourteen crane, and the general take varying from
two to ten crans. None of the boats returned without
fish. Price to-day 18s. per cran. One lugger sailed to-
day for Yarmouth with a cargo. Should the wind con-
tinue moderate from the N.B. for a few days our fisher-
men are in high expectation of a good week's fishing.
NORTH SUNDERLAND.—Our fishing in the latter end
of last week was indifferent, but on Tuesday and
Wednesday this week it was greatly improved ; highest
boat, thirty crans. This morning (Thursday) .has
fallen greatly off ; highest boat, four orans. -The fish
yesterday and to-day (Thursday) was of a very raid•
dling quality; prices ranging from 10s. to 18s. per eran,
HOLY ISLAND, JULY 30.—The boats have now berm
the fishing in good earnest, but as yet the take ha• not
been great. Yesterday (Wednesday) was the best day
they have had since they began ; the highest boat
having twelve crans, but all the boats having fish, and
of excellent quality. This morning they have fallen
off, the highest we hear of having only four crans. As
the season is early, we yet anticipate a good fishing.
DUNBAR, JULY 30 —The herring fishing has im-
proved considerably this week. This day several of the
boats had as high as forty crans. Prices have varied
during the week from 12s. to 16s. per cran. There are
above 200 boats in our harbour at present, and all find ft
ready market for their fish from dealers, who imme-
diately after they make their purchase, commence to
pack them up in barrels and boxes, and send them off
per railway. Our curers have scarcely begun to do
anything as yet, owing to the high prices.—Berwick
Advertiser.

Mr. LABOUCHERE said that all he could state,in answer
to the question which the Hon. Gentleman had put to him,
was that he wt's given to understand that it would
be possible to bring forward in the next session a
measure on this subject which would be perfectly
consistent with the rights of the parties concerned, and would
effectually remove the grievances of those who had preferred
their complaints.

BERWICK.—We have this week had a very poorfi..hing.
The highest take for a night's fishing has been ten craps ;

country :—The Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, the King of
Belgium, the King of Saxony, the King of Holland, Prince William
of Prussia, and further honoured by the ntinued patronage of all
who seek an unaffected gentlemanly appearance. The cloth is
made of Llama Wool, a fabric most agreeably soft and elastic to the
touch, and is one-third the weight of ordinary woollen clothes, but it
corresponds in shades of colour. It is very durable, and naturally a
repellent of rain, yet so porous as to admit of a due escape of exces-
sive bodily heat. These advantages, with the very moderate price
charged, renders the Registered Paletot worthy the attention of all.
They can be purchased In London, of the Patentees only, at their

WASTE LANDS (IRELAND) BILL.
On the order of the day for the second reading of this Bill
being read,
Mr. P. SCROPE said that, as the Government had
promised to introduce a measure on this subject in the fol-
lowing session, he would consent to the postponement of the
measure. however, they failed in their promise, he should
reintroduce it. _

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the Honourable Gentleman
had correctly represented the views of the Government,
They would give their earnest attention to the subject of the
reclamation of waste lands in Ireland during the recess, and
be able to introduce some measure in the next session. . .

Mr. F. FRENCH said this subject was one of the greatest
importance, and he sincerely hoped that the Goverr.ment
would faithfully perform their promise to introduce a mesaure
on the subject in the next session. The people of Ireland were
suffering much in consequence of being deprived of that
employment which the measure introduced by his Hon.
Friend (Mr. Scrope) would have afforded them.
Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD said that as his
name was on the back of this Bill, in con•
junction with his Hon. Friend the Member for
Stroud, he took that opportunity of earnestly praying the
Government to introduce some measure on this subject early
i❑ the following session.
EPISCOPAL REVENUES AND DIOCESES BILL._

On the order of the day for the second reading of this Bill
being read,
Mr. FREWEN said that his only object in introducing
this Bill was in consequence of the Bangor and St. Asaph
Bill. He now begged leave to withdraw the Bill.
Colonel SIBTHORP was rejoiced to hear that the Bill
(which was one of the most extraordinary he had ever seen)
was about to be withdrawn. Nineteen new bishops !—(A
laugh.) Surely, the-Church must be in danger. The Church's
danger, however, now appeared to be owing to the corduct
of her own children. He believed, however, that the Hon.
Member was an honest supporter of the Church of England,
but he certainly regretted his conduct on this oc-
casion. The motion was, that the Bill should
be read a second time that day six months,
but he hoped that it would not be read a second time
that day six months.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) The
Bill was a most objectionable one. If it had been carried,
he believed that it would bring ruin to the Church,
and shake the monarchy itself.—(Laughter.) He had
came down to the House for the express purpose of opposing
the Bill, but as it had been withdrawn, he would refrain from
saving anything more on the subject.
After a few words from Mr. BORTHWICK, who said he
entirely concurred with the Hon. and Gallant Colonel,
The Bill was ordered to be read a second time that day six
months.

WAY AND PIER.

The consideration of this case was resumed (after a con•
versation arising from a motion made by Lord Granville
Somerset, last night, in the House of Commons, that the
sitting of all Committees on Railway Bills after Easter
should be deferred until the 27th of April), by the
further examination of Mr. Greene, an engineer.
and Mr. Thompson, likewise an enginee-, who stated that
they were acquainted with the country laying respec-
tively between Bridge water, Taunton, and Minehead, and con•
sidered that the de-,cription and undulating state of the land
situated between the latter places offered greater facilities for
the construction of a railway than the proposed line now under
consideration. The evidence of these witnesses related en-
tirely to the engineering difficulties to be anticipated in the
construction of the proposed railway and pier, and to the in-
comprehensiveness of the estimate, considered that a more
advantageous line might have been selected between;Bridge•
water and Minehead, which would not require such an out-
lay of capital, affording equal accommodation to the public,
and not depreciating to such an extent the value of property.
Mr. M'Neal, an assistant to the last witness, spoke to the
gradients, &c., he took on this line, disagreeing in many of
those taken by the engineers promoting this scheme. In his
cross-examination by Mr. Cockburn his testimony was some-
what shaken.

The Committee on its rising adjourned until Tuesday, the
27th inst., when the consideration of this case will be resumed.

THE IRON TRADE.

WOLVERHAMPTON, TUESDAY.--We are sorry to find that
a sudden and unexpected reaction of trade begins to mani-
fest itself in this district. The quarterly meeting of iron-
masters, which, according to the usual calendar of local
events, should have been held at Walsall to-day, has been
postponed till next week. This, we believe, is more the re-
sult of a want of proper arrangement than any desire to
gain time before the quarterly prices are determined on ;
but the feeling is strong now in favour of considering well
whether it would not be advisable to agree to a reduction
of terms next week, rather than attempt to maintain present
rates, when it is so evidently certain that the great reduc-
tion in the number of railways projected, must, of necessity,
bring about a corresponding reduction in the demand for
iron, which at present, and for some time past, has greatly
exceeded the supply. The more experienced masters coun-
sel reduced rates, and a week's breathing time may lead to
their counsel being followed ; but the meeting at Birming-
ham on Thursday will rule this point, as that is the meeting
which determines the character of all the others.
Nothing can exceed the restless and uneasy state of feel-
ing which now prevails throughout this district on the sub-
ject of Sir Robert Peel's free-trade measures. Trade, in
fact, is almost paralysed by the delay and uncertainty that
attend them; and unless they become law soon, there will
be a season of great distress and feverishness all over the
" black country."

of the property. The Right Honourable Baronet the Secre-
tary of State for the Home Department had the other
night stated that the sanguinary doings which took
place in the southern parts of Ireland did not take
place in the northern, although the law with regard
to landlord and tenant was the same over the whole of Ire-
land, Now he (Mr. Scrope) believed that although the
strict letter of the law was the same, there was still a custom
or usage in the northern parts which did not thus sanction
summary eviction of tenantry which occurred in those parts
of that country, of the sanguinary doings of which the House
had heard so much ; and he was of opinion that it was in
consequence of that custom, or usage, that so much peace
prevailed in Ulster.—(Hear, hear.) He would, after the re-
cess, ask the Government whether the law sanctioned such a
custom, er whether it would enforce the arbitrary rights of
the landlord in Ulster in the same manner as it did in the
other more unfortuate parts of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.)

LYNN AND ELY RAILWAY.

(THIS DAY.)
A special general ineetir.g of the proprietors of this
company was held this afternoon, at the London Tavern.
at which the drafts of the foll,ming bills were approve d
of. Mr. Lacy, of Kenyon House, Manchester, was in
the chair.

A Bill to empower the Lynn and Ely Railway Com-
pany to construct a railway from the borough of Wis-
bech to Spalding, in the parts of Holland in the county
of Lincoln, with a branch to Holbeach.
A Bill to empower the Lynn and Ely Railway Com-
pany to construct a railway from the borough of Wis

LORDS' SUMArARY.

The House of Lords met to-day for the first time
after the Whitsuntide recess.

Numerous petitions were presented in favour of, and
against the repeal of the corn-laws.
Lord STANLEY, in presenting several petitions from
Wilts and Cornwall against the repeal of the corn-laws,
gave notice of his intention to-morrow to move for
copies of the addresses that had been received from
the Legislative Assemblies of Canada on the subject of
the corn-laws.

The Earl of DALHOUSIE then defended himself against
the attack that had been made upon him in the House
of Commons by Lord George Bentinck with respect to
the addresses from Canada, which led to a short but
animated debate.

Earl FiTzwiLLIAN gave notice of his intention to.
morrow to move certain resolutions with respect to Rail,
way Bills.

The Earl of DALRousIE then moved the second read-
ing of the Customs Duties (Tariff) Bill. The Noble
Earl entered at considerable length into the duties that
at present existed, and those which it was proposed to
reduce by the present measure.
The Duke of IticHmoND opposed the Bill.

A " CONJUROR" IN
TROUBLE.—WINDSOR, JUNE 3.
Yesterday morning, a person named George Robert Young,
the assistant conjuror to his brother, Mr. E. W. Young, " the
Great Northern Wizard," who has been exhibiting at the
theatre in this town, was brought before the sitting magis-
trates (Mr. Adams, the mayor, and Mr. Legh), charged with
having committed a violent assault unpon Mr. Wood, the
superintendent of the Windsor Gas Works. It appeared,
from the evidence of Mr. Wood, that on the evening of
Saturday last the complainant saw the defendant's brother,
the real conjuror, in the yard of the Star and Garter Tap,
when, the brother, who was exceedingly drunk, abused Mr.
Wood, because the company had refused to trust him for the
gas supplied at the theatre during his performances. While
the altercation was going on, the defendant, whom Mr.
Wood had never before seen, rushed out of the tap, in a
state of "furious intoxication," knocked down the com-
plainant with his fists, striking him on the head and body
without saying a word. The defendant, who appeared to be
" no conjuror" before the bench, said, in his defence, he did
strike Mr. Wood; but the fact was, he was so drunk (having
been drinking
a good deal in getting his brother's traps
Packed up), that he really did not know what he was about,
and bad not the least recollection of what had taken place.
Mr. Wood recommended him to the mercy of the magistrates,
observing that all he desired was protection from the as
sistant conjuror's violence. The Mayor told the defendant,
that in consequence of the kind recommendation of Mr.
Wood. they were disposed to treat the case far more leniently
than they otherwise should have done. They should there-
fore inflict a small fine which, with the costs, amounted to
lay. 6d. The money Wad awray afterwax4 paid, wad he was

Very IMPORTANT and VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE,
embracing the entire PARISH of ADDINGTON, free of Tithe
and Land-tax, and almost of Poor-rates, with its spacious Mansion,
excellent Manor for game, the Advowson, and several first-rate
Grazing and Dairy Farms (let at about 2,500/.), extending nearly
to the town of Winslow, and only five miles from the county and
borough town of Buckingham, distinguished as the family seat
and domain of the late Hon. General Vere Poulett, forming a singu-
larly eligible and solid investment for capital, in a proverbially
rich and fine sporting county.
MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON are
commissioned to announce that the above remarkably
valuable and truly important FREEHOLD ESTATE will be St oLI)
by AUCTION in SEPTEMBER next, unless an acceptable offer shall
be previously made by Private Treaty.
It comprises the spacious and substantial Mansion of Addington,
with walled garden, capital stabling, &c., places on a gentle eleva-
tion nearly in the centre of one of the most fertile domains in the
county, embracing the entire parish, nearly encircled by a hne brook,
and chiefly rich grazing and dairy land, the whole lithe free, and let
to old respectable tenants at rents amounting to about 2,500/. pe
annum. The perpetual Advowson, with its parsonage and glebe, and
the Manor, which is well stocked with game, appertain to the es-
tate. The timber is nearly all elm, a certain proof of the fertility of
the soil. The high turnpike road from Aylesbury to Buckingham
passes through the pronerty, close to the town of Winslow, and it is
within a very easy distance of the several markets of Buckingham,
Bicester, Stony Stratford, &c. This description of grass land is
unlikely to be affected by any change as to Corn-laws or Tariffs, and
the Property therefore presents, with its peculiar and great local ad-
vantages, an indisputably fine and choice property for the Invest-
mentofnoney, with a most enjoyable domain for residence, being
in a perfectly rural district, and in the centre of several packs of
hounds. A station on the Buckinghamshire Railway will be very
near. _

Descriptive particulars, with plans, will be published when the.
day of sale is fixed, and in the interim the property may be viewed
by application to Mr. King, surveyor, Winslow, and every informa-
tion obtained of Messrs. Daniel Smith al:d Son, land agents and sur-
veyors, in Waterloo-place, Pall-mall.

bales of goods are being produced from the hopper to be

which accompanies the plate we find the following- hints
as to the method to be pursued to remedy the miseries
of the industrious operatives:
" How are the miseries of the classes of industrious
operatives wo have been describing to be remedied? It will
be said that every manufacturer has a right to get his work
done, and every purchaser to procure what he wants, at the
lowest possible price. Nothing can be truer. But were the
former to give their work-people that share of their profits
which they now spend in decorations, and were purchasers
of the middle and affluent classes to show less of that
abating and huxtering spirit which hunts after ' tremendous
sacrifices,' the condition of thousands to whose hands they
are indebted for their chief comforts would be much iai-
proved."

immediately proceeded to the deceased's mother, and in-
formed her her daughter was dead. The prisoner,
although very minute and circumstantial in detailing the
places he had called at, and the refreshment he had
swallowed, did not account very satisfactorily for his
time between twelve and half-past one o'clock, the time
he first reached home; nor did he give any explanation
of the circumstance he mentioned, that the neighbours
told him the woman had fallen down stairs, of which,
according to his own showing, he took no notice.
Mr. Broderip, on the conclusion of the prisoner's
statement, said it was his duty to remand him till to-
day, and he was forthwith sent away in the van to
Westminster Bridewell.
