THE LIFE OF ADMIRAL VISCOUNT EX.
MOUTH. By EDWARD OSLRR, ESQ.
London : Smith, Elder, and Co. 1835.

This excellent and interesting biographical Memoir
will form a valuable addition to the naval history of
Great Britain. The name of Lord Exmouth will be
dear to Englishmen as long as genuine heroism, incor-
ruptible patriotism, and a regular observance of the
rules of social life, are ranked among the most admirable
qualities of a defender of his country. To these qualities
Lord Exmouth added GOOD FORTUNE—in the opi-
nion of one of the greatest Generals that ever com-
manded an army the first requisite in an officer. Al-
though his courage, on ordinary occasions, partook of
the appearance, if not of the nature of fool-hardiness,
yet when surrounded by real and appalling dangers, no
man ever manifested greater coolness, joined to an in-
trepidity so wary, collected, and calculating, as even to
astonish his oldest and most familiar shipmates. In
every relation of life, he was a man superior to the
circumstances by which he was surrounded. There
was something inherently so great about him, that his
elevation from the lowest station to the highest rank
among the defenders of his country, was witnessed
without envy, and enjoyed without ostentation. Dis-
tinction assumed in him all the characteristics of a recog-
nized natural birthright. He was originally of good
family—his ancestors having been established for some
centuries in the west of Cornwall. During the civil
wars between the King and Commons, the Pellews
declared for the King, in consequence of which they
lost all their possessions, a small part of which was
recovered by them at the restoration. To repair their
shattered fortunes, some members of the family em-
barked their property in trade, and were tolerably suc-
cessful. Lord Exmouth's father commanded a Post
Office packet on the Dover station, but he died in
1765, leaving six children, of whom the eldest was
only eleven years old. " Three years after," writes
Mr. Osler, "an imprudent marriage of the widow de-
prived the children of their remaining parent, and
threw them upon the world with scanty resources, and
almost without a friend." So situated, it may rea-
sonably be presumed that nothing short of a great na-
tural capacity, great energy, and conduct praiseworthy
in the highest degree, could have elevated an orphan
to the rank of a Peer of the realm.

The following brief account of Lord Exmouth's in
fancy, education, and the adventure which first le(
him to prefer the sca-service, will be mad with into

CORONERS. INQUESTS:

It gradually got worse, mom if,cation ens ued, and she died
on Thursday last. She was attended by Doctors Dobson
and Brown. These gentlem en were ex amined on the in-
quest, and stated that the cast was one of the most singular
that had ever come under the it notice. They could in no
way account for the melanc: holy resit' it,. except upon the
presumption that the decease d's of body was extra-
ordinarily disposed to inflamm s tory actio n. The Jury re-
turned a verdict or " Died frc mortifi cation, caused by
the accidental falling of a brick la pon her foot."
Saturday an inquest was held ; it the Ro. yal Fort, Grange-
road, Bermondsey, on the body Wm. C. 'lake, an infant of
seven weeks, erroneously report ed to ha ve been poisoned

birth, been put under the care e F a woman (of the name of

GUILDHALL.

Tivisden, an attorney's clerk, residing in Elliott's-
row, Southwark, was brought before Mr. Ald. SCHOLEY, to
account for his knowledge of, or connection, with a man
named Barnes, who was detected in having broken into a
warehouse, 33, Lawrence-lane, Cheapside, early on Thurs-
day morning.
Hassell, a patrol, on entering Lawrence-lane between
one and two o'clock, saw two men give three taps at the
door of 33, and then go away. He listened at the door,
and hearing some person within, called the watchmen, to
prevent any escape, and sent for the porter, who speedily ar-
rived with the keys, and gave them admittance. Barnes
and another man endeavoured to escape by the roofs of the
houses. The police followed them, and Barnes, to get be-
yond the reach of his pursuers, was under the necessity of
leaping from one house to another, across a court three
yards wide. He then descended from the roof by means of
the iron water-spout in front of the house ; but, when about
half-way down, he missed his hold, and fell on his head
upon the pavement below. He was conveyed to St. Bar-
tholomew's Hospital, where he has since remained speech.
less. On Friday Twisden came to the Hospital, and asked
to see the man who had been brought in from Cheapside,
and he trembled and seemed much affected on seeing him.
His reluctance to answer any questions induced witness and
the inspector of the watch, Cheney, to bring him before the
Magistrate.
Mr. Alderman SCHOLEY asked what mischief had been
done in the house ?

Mr. Fortune said he occupied one part of the ware-
house, and Mr. Wilson the rest. Mr.. Wilson had lost
woollen cloth to the amount of 1601., and witness had lost
the contents of his cash box, about 1.51..
In answer to the interrogatories of the Alderman be
said he knew Barnes slightly, by smoking a pipe with
him. He knew nothing of the robbery, and it was cruel
to detain bim.

The Alderman said he could not part with the prisoner
until he was satisfied he was of good character, and was
not a party to the robbery.
The prisoner was remanded.

BOW-STREET..

A young man, of respectable appeari cnce, named Edwin
Carpenter,' was finally examined on a charge of stealing
three silver medals, forming part of th le collection of the
late C. Mathews, the comedian, from the auction rooms of
Messrs. Sotheby. At the examinatio a on Friday, it was
proved that the prisoner had sold the articles to Mr. Gill,
of Catherine-street, for 15s.

Mr. C. Phillips, who attended for Ow prisoner, said the
young man was of very respectable co nnections, and was
innocent of the charge ; he had purc'eas ed the medals for
one guinea, from a person Whom he raet in Temple-gardens.
The prisoner was then remanded for the attendance of
Mr. Gill and Mr. Mathews's son. They accordingly
attended, when Mr. Mathews, jun., said that he could not
positively swear to the medals, althotq he had no doubt
they were the same which had been st, kn.
Mr. Phillips submitted to the Magi strate whether there
was sufficient proof of the identity of the medals ?
Mr. MINSHULL said the case was n :ot sufficiently strong
to warrant the prisoner's committal for • trial, and he should,
therefore, convict him in the full penal Lt v of M. for unlaw-
fully possessing the medals, and in del in tit of payment com-
mit him for two months.

The money was immediately paid,. an d the prisoner was
discharged.

neighbour, when the child, who was ; playing, ran .by her
Hinging about her pinafore, which h appened to touch the
prisoner, who was offended. On the e hild's repeating it the
prisoner took a knife, and struck i t several times. The
child was severely wounded, and w: Ls ( !onveyed to St. Bar-
tholomew's Hospital. There was ..t mnd in the shoulder
about two inches long and one inch de. 3p, and also a dread-
ful wound under the eye.
Elizabeth Sinclair was present or i tae occasion, and de-
posed that after the prisoner bad wounded the child, she
ran into the house, and, wiping tb e kin fe, exclaimed " Oh

Robinson will be able to undergo an examination.

CAPTURE OF A STURGEON IN THE THAMES.—
On Wednesday morning a large sturgeon was caught in the
River off Wapping-duck-stairs, by the crew of the schooner
Mary, belonging to Mr. Fletcher, who immediately conveyed
it to the Lord Mayor, and they received from his Lordship a
present of 12s. for their trouble. The sturgeon is a fine young
one, weighing upwards of 250 pounds, and, it appears, had
been floundering about the water for some time in a bed made
by a vessel which had been lying in the mud near the stairs ;
when the tide receded, the fish was left in the hole, and being
observed by the sailors, they procured a rope and hook, and
hauled it on deck.

immediately applied the stomach-pump, by which the deadly
fluid was withdrawn, and the life of the girl was saved. So
bent was she on self-destruction, that it was necessary to use
force in order to apply the requisite means. The only cause
she could assign for this rash action was, that her mother had
refused her permission to go to a pic-nic party !

GUILDHALL.

Mr. John Mitchell, a cheesemonger, at No. 63, Alders-
gate-street, attended before Mr. Alderman VENABLES, to
answer to the complaint of John Collender, the foreman of
the inquest of Aldersgate Ward, for having by artful and
deceitful means caused the goods sold by weight in his shop
to appear a greater weight by three-quarters of an ounce
than the true weight thereof. This is an indictable offence,
subjecting the offender to fine and imprisonment, at the dis-
cretion of the Court.

The Foreman stated that having had an intimation, the
inquest went suddenly to the defendant's shop, and though
with great celerity and presence of mind he attempted to
remove a lump of butter scrapings, which had been stuck
underneath the scale used for weighing butter and cheese,
he was unable to effect his object. The defendant said they
had known him for twenty years, and he hoped they would
not be so severe as to take away his scales. They, how-
ever, persisted in doing so. He subsequently addressed a
note to them, praying them to return his scales before
Saturday, as that was a busy day, and he would never do
the like again.
Mr. Alderman VENABLES asked if he was to understand
that every person purchasing butter or cheese was defrauded
to the extent of the weight of the lump of grease.
The Foreman said, " Certainly."
The defendant said the grease remained at the bottom
of the scale through the neglect of his servant, and entirely
without his knowledge.
Mr. Alderman VENABLES said, a Jury of his neigh-
bours, who saw his conduct upon the occasion, were of
opinion that it was done intentionally.
After a few observations between the parties—
Mr. Alderman VENABLES said he understood the de-
fendant was willing to give M. in aid of the funds of the
Ward School, if the Inquest would forego their prosecu-
tion. He (Mr. Alderman Venables) was content that the
business should be so terminated, trusting the circumstance
would be impressed on his mind, and be a warning to him.
Mr. Mitchell gladly handed five sovereigns over to the
Gentlemen of the Inquest, and his scales were restored to
him.

SOUTH STAFFORD ELECTION.

LICHFIELD, SATURDAY NIGHT, MAY 16.
Sir F. Holyoake Goodricke, it s said by the Conservatives
here, is determined to go to the pcll, although he has not yet
vacated his seat for the borough of Stafford. He has also
been canvassing actively during the past week, aided by a
host of parsons, in all the districts of the southern division of
the county ; but with indifferent success. Colonel Anson has
been every where received warmly by the constituency; and
has addressed them, at the various polling places, amidst
general applause. The issue of the contest—should Sir F.
Goodricke place his present seat at such a precarious hazard
—will, lam certain, resemble that so manfully achieved by
the electors of West Yorkshire ; as the leading interest—the
manufacturing one—is the same here as it was there : and
the only counterpoise that can avail to prolong the poll be-
yond a day, is the "No Popery" hoax, which here, as else-
where, is the text adopted by the would-be re-actionists. That
their efforts, however, to terrify by these means the timid, will
be in a great measure unavailing, even amongst the agricul-
tural community, it is sufficient to state that the great majority
of the Duke of Sutherland's tenants have pledged themselves
to vote for Colonel Anson.

Each of the Candidates visited Lichfield to-day.
Colonel ANSON addressed a large number of voters who
were assembled in front of the George Hotel: He stated that
his political opinions were similar to those acted upon by the
late Member; that he was a Reformer, and would, if elected,
exert himself in the correction of Church abuses, more espe-
cially to those which so glaringly existed in the Irish Estab-
lishment. He was received with loud and general cheering
throughout.
Sir F. GOODRICKE also addressed his friends from his hotel
in a few sentences, which to me were utterly incomprehensible.
A hand-bill has been circulated here, stating that means
have been used to bias the Duke of Sutherland's tenantry to
vote against Sir F. Goodricke, and that such instances of that
kind as had occurred were unauthorised by his Grace. This
is, I know, merely an- insidious electioneering squib. His
Grace of Sutherland has not, and will not, exercise an uncon-
stitutional interference with the rights of his tenants, but I
am equally well aware that he takes the liveliest interest in
Colonel Anson's success.

The following are the polling places in the south district :
Lichfield, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Penktidge, King Swin-
ford ; the most distant of which is only 22 miles from Lich-
field. The number of votes registered is 4,122. The Peel
interest is everywhere at work against the popular candidate ;
all the efforts of Conservatism here, will, however, undoubtedly
end in moonshine.

INVERNESS-SHIRE ELECTION.

The polling commenced on Monday, ths. 11th instant, and
was continued till four o'clock, when Glenmorriston was, in

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY•)

The House sat to-day to hear appeals.- The Lords present
%yore—the Duke of Cumberland, the Earl of Shaftesbury,
Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Brougham, the Marquis of Salisbury',
Lord Kenyon, the Earl of Mansfield, Lord Gort, Viscount
Melville, and the Earls of Falmouth and Selkirk.
LADY WA RRENDER V. SIR GEORGE Ni'ARRENDER.
This appeal arose out of the unhappy differences between
Sir George Warrender and his Lady, which led to the execu-
tion of a deed of separation, and ultimately to the institution
of an action of divorce in the Scotch Courts. Lady `!,T
render objected to the jurisdiction of the Scotch Courts, ond
the ground that she was not domiciled in that country, ald
that the marriage, having been contracted in England, cow
only be dissolved by the authority of Parliament. The Court
having over-ruled these objections and remitted the subject_
to the Lord Ordinary, his Lordship ordered Lady Warrender
to put in answers to the condescendence of Sir George
render, and and from this decision the present appeal was brought:
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Dr. ADDAMS appeared f°'
' the appellant - and Dr. LUSIIINGTON and Sir W. Foarrl
for the respondents.
The ATTORNEY- GENERAL was addressing their LordOir
on behalf of the appellant when we left.

LAMBETH- STREET.

On Friday the Magistrates at this office, Messrs WAL-
KER and NORTON, were engaged for a considerable time in
hearing a case in which Mr. Dames, an extensive dry
cooper, of Leman-street, Goodman's-fields, was summoned.
to show cause why he refused to pay the usual reward to
Davis, No. 56, and others belonging to the fire brigade, for
an alleged fire in a chimney on his extensive premises in
Rupert-street.
Mr. Smith, the vestry clerk of Whiteehapel, who at-
tended with Mr. Dames, the defendant, took an objection
to the proceeding on two grounds ; the first was, that the
Magistrates had not the power, under the Act of Parliament
of calling on Mr. Dames to pay any sum of money to the
firemen, but merely to reimburse the churchwarden of the
parish any sum he might have thought proper to pay to the
firemen for their attendance. An application had been
made by the firemen to the churchwarden, and his opinion
being that the firemen were not entitled to a farthing, he
consequently would pay them nothing.
The MAGISTRATES, after much discussion and consi-
deration, decided that, under the Act of Parliament, they
had no power taiwompel a churchwarden to pay the rewards

in these cases, if they, the churchwardens, thought pro Per
to refuse them, and dismissed the case. •
The decision, which gave great satisfaction to many Pre'
sent, will be of considerable importance to the different
parishes in the metropolis, as the tax levied on them in the
shape of such rewards have latterly become enormous. In
the parishes of Whitechapel and St. George's in the EaSts
alone, the sums paid by the churchwardens amounted ag.
Dually to from 3001. to 400/. each, with which sum the 178"
rislies are taxed, besides the sums paid by persons whn'ar/
in circumstances to pay it themselves.
