A young woman
RUMOURED DEATH FROM DR. COFFIN'S PIMA.-
daughter of William Gould, tailor, Button-lane, died on
Wednesday eveningnamed Eliza Gould, aged twenty-one,
suddenly, after taking some pills sup-
plied to her by Mr. William Fox, of Barberpool, agent to
Dr. Coffin. The case was investigated yesterday (Friday)
evening by T. Badger, Esq., coroner. It then transpired that
on Wednesday afternoon, at three o'clock, the young woman
took two of Mr. Fox's pills for pain in the stomach, having
once before been relieved by them. She became so much
worse that Mr. James Gregory, surgeon, Porter-street, was
called in, and found her with a sinking pulse and symptoms
of prostration. She died soon after seven o'clock. Several
times she declared that the pills had poisoned her, and when
Mr. Fox (who paid her a visit) proposed something to relieve
her pain, which he said was inflammation of the bowels, she
positively refused to take any more of his medicine. Mr.
Gregory met Mr. Fox at Gould's house, when he (Mr. Fox)
told him that the pills contained nothing irritant or nar-
cotic—that in fact they would do neither good nor harm.
He ebjected to Mr. Gregory's treatment, and said the de-
ceased ought to be well purged. At the inquest Mr. Fox
said the pills were composed of cayenne pepper, lobrelia in-
flata (Indian tobacco), rhubarb, aloes, copaiba, and bullock's
gall. In answer to the coroner Mr. Gregory said he could
not positively state the cause of death, and that he had not
said that the pills had killed the patient. The inquest stands
adjourned to Tuesday for a post mortem examination.—

" Mr. Disraeli has conceived that the repuhlivation of his father's
' Commentaries on the Life and Reign of Charles I.' is peculiarly
well timed at the present moment, and he indicates the well•known
chapters on the genius of the Papacy, and the crideal re ations of
Protestant sovereigns with Roman Catholic subjects as reflec
the events, thoughts, paysions, end perplexities of the
present agitated epoch.' In particular, he observes, that the stories
of conversions to the Romish faith then rife; seem like narratives of
the present tour, and that the reader is almost tempted to substitute
the nettles of his personal acquaintances for those of the courtiers of
Charles. No apology was needed for re-introducing to the world so
instructive and origi .al a work."—Times.

The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord
Adolphus Fitzclarence, and the Fairy, her tender,
Master• Commander Welsh, went down to Osborne
yesterday morning; and it was supposed that her
M.jesty the Queen and Prince Albert would embark
on board to witness the trill of sailing between the
yachts of the Royal Victoria Club, that started for
the 1001. cup that her Majesty has been pleased to
present.

The Board of Admiralty have returned to White-

arose out of a controversy as to the portion of the
bench occupied by Hanrahan, which Sullivan alleged
was occupied by the former to his inconvenience, but
Portch (91 K), who resides in the section-house close
by, proved that Sullivan had as much space as his ne-
cessities required.
Mr. YARDLRY ordered him to pay 405., or be im-

Hanrahan had suffered in the cell from Suilivan's

TESTIMOINIAL TO MR. RONEY.

A very elegant testimonial, ciiniosting of a centre
ornament and two fruit ba:kete, in silver, was presented
)esterday morning to Mr. Roney, the late highly-re-
•i wired secretary of the Eastern Counties Railway

dress, by Mr. Hall, the assistant-secretary, and a depu-
tation or 14 of the subscribers to it, Mr. Roney having

pliment in a neat speech, and expressed the deep gratifi-
cation be felt that in leaving them those servants of the
company with whom he had been connected, as thtir
senior in office, should have spontaneously come forward
to respond to that courtesy and consideration which he
had always endeavoured to carry out towards bis junior
officers, 60. as to render at all times the performance of
their duties as agreeable as possible.

OVERCROWDING STEAM-BOATS.

The new Act, which received the royal assent on the
th inst., to consolidate and amend the laws relating to
steam navigation, and to the boats and lights to be car-
ried by sea-going vessels, has been printed. There are
several clauses to prevent the overcrowding of steam-
boats, of which doily complaints are now being made.
The Board of Trade is to assist in the execution of the
Act. The laws in force at the present time on steam
navigation are the 9th and 10th of Victoria, c. 100, and
the 11th and 12th of Victoria, c. 81, under which certi-
ficates as to the number of passengers to be carried are
granted. The new Act contains fifty-onc clauses. The
former Acts are to be repealed on the Slat of December.
Steam-vessels aro to be surveyed twice a year, and
declarations sent to the Board of Trade, and a certifi-
cate of the vessel and of the number of passengers to
be carried is to he granted and exhibited in a con-
spicuous part of the vessel. Penalties are to be levied
on the owners exceeding the number, and on per-
sons who insist upon remaining on board. It is enacted
by the 12th section "that if the owner or master,
or other person in charge of a vessel, receive on
board more then the number stated in the certificate,
they shall forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding 201., and
alto ss. for every pass'-nger over and above the number
specified in the certificate." Persons forcing their way
on board when a vessel is full, and refusing to quit after
having the fare tendered, if the same had been paid, are
to be liable to a penalcy of 40s. Also, if any PI erfsairml„
shall travel a greater distance than he has raidhis
s to
for, with intent to avoid the payment,
quit the vessel, such person is to be liable to s ynerilit,,3;,
it
or shall refuse
tof

any of she offences mention-d, refuses

that measures were being taken by the Spanish Gover.-
nor to repress with the strong hand of power any fresh
m anifestatioos of' the interior insurgents ur pirates from
New Orleans. The steam-ship Pizarro, and sev.eral
other vessels of war, had left the harbour to cruise:
about the coast. Mantanzas account of the 2d
inst. announce that, according to the official docu-
ments, the insurrection had been put down by the
Spanish troops, and that the rebels who had taken a
refuge in the mountains were reduced to the last ex-
tremity. Business was dull, and no freights offered.
to the numerous vessels in port.
From Coquimbo, Chili, we hear of the loss of the
English steamer Ecuador, on the 25th of June, while
going out of the Bay of Coquimbo on her voyage to.
Copiapo. She ran on a rocky point, with her steam
on, and, backing off, filled and sank. She was insured
in London. Happily no lives were lost. She had, it
was supposed, been previously sold by the Pacific
Steam Navigation C.onpany.
Letters from the Sandwich Islands report that her
Majesty's ship Dssialus sailed from Honolulu on the
20th of June, for I3ehring's Straits, with stores for the

TESTIMONIAL TO MR. RONEY.

A very elegant testimonial, consisting of a centre
ornament and two fruit baskets, in silver, was presented
yesterday morning to Mr. Roney, the late highly-re-
spected secretary of the Eastern Counties Railway

blishment. The centre ornament bears the following
inscription :

dress, by Mr. Rail, the assistant-aecretary, and a depu-
tation of 14 of the subscribers to it, Mr. Roney having

LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1851.

THE MINISTRY.

SUN OFFICE, Three o'Cloch.

We were able to announce in our last Edition of
yesterday evening the fact which we had anticipated,
that Lord STANLEY was unable to form a Govern-
ment, and had given up the attempt. He resigned
the power which had been entrusted to him into the
hands of her MAJESTY, and, amidst the wailings
and lamentations of the Protectionist party, gave up
the ghost of a Ministry which may now, probably,
never again be beard of. Lord JonN RUSSELL and
his late colleagues have this morning met in de-
liberation at Lansdowne House, and the result of
their deliberation, if sanctioned by the QUEEN,
will be announced in both Houses of Parliament
this evening. We sincerely trust and be-
lieve that the result of the late crisis will
be of unmixed good to the whole Liberal
party. A Protectionist Government is now confes-
sedly out of the question. By a re-modelling
of the Budget a careful improvement of
the Popery Bill a show of onwardness
on the part of the Government—and by more zeal,
more temper, and less personal rancour among the
Radicals and movement party, the cause of liberty,
of free trade, and of progression, will be served and
secured.

The excitement at the Clubs last night exceeded
anything we hare ever seen. The Carlton and
White's, Brookes and the Reform, were crowded,
and as news arrived, or was concocted at each,
it was transmitted from the one to the
other with the utmost celerity. Lord WIL-
TON first announced Lord STANLEY'S abandon-
ment of office at White's. It was hardly credited
at the Carlton, and fell like a shot in the camp—but
it was too true

FREE ADMISSION INTO ST. PAUL'S.

Mr. CLARKE moved mat it be referred to a committee
to confer with the pr. per authorities upon the desire-
ablene3s of opening St. Paul's Cathedral for the free ad-
mission of strangers visiting the metropolis during the
Grand Exhibition this year, He considered it, he said,
disgraceful to the country that so magnificent a national
eiitice should be shut, as it had always been, from public
inspection except upon certain condition•.
Some discussion took place, and Mr. H. L. Taylor's
opihion that the matter ought to be ltft to the "Exhibi-
tion Committee" seemed to prevail in the court, for the
previous question was carried.
The Court then adjourned.
