THE Rrvna PLATE.—Accounts from Monte Video
of October Ist state that nothing of importance has occurred
since previous advices, either in the city or the country.
From Buenos Ayres we learn that General Rosas had
given orders to the captain of the port to engage foreign
sailors, and purchase three merchant vessels. It is also
stated that General Urquiza, having received instructions to
march upon Paraguay, replied that he could not move for
want of horses.
THE BIRKENHEAD RIOT.—On Saturday the ma-
gistrates assembled at the Town Hall, for the purpose of in-
vestigating the circumstances relating to the late riot. The
meeting was strictly private, but we understand very impor-
tant information respecting the origin of the late riot was re-
ported to the meeting by Mr. G. Palmer, the special high-
constable of the hundred, and Mr. IVPHaig, superintendent of
Birkenhead police, and which was "derived ' from various
sources, all tending to show that the riot was the result of a
deep-laid conspiracy.

Od Examination continued.—He tht n asked me to sing.—
0 (Much laughter.) This was about six or seven in the
6' evening. I did sing to him.—(Laughter.) I sang a
verse of some song, the name of which I cannot remem-
ber. He sad " That will do; that will do," and I went
away. I was afraid, because he looked so strange.
By the JUDGE —I was not'afraid he was going to make
any improper proposal to me.
Examination continued—When we were at Brighton
- Paxton paid the bills. When we returned from Brighton
(ce. Mrs. Graves, Sir Gregory,• and Paxton travelled inside
the carriage, and three of the servants, myself among
them, outside.
Cross-examined by Mr. CerAmisnase—Mrs. Graves died
in i the same year as Sir Gregory. I have lived since her
; death at Newberry, in service. lam now living as
housemaid with Mr. Russell at Dulwich. I am not a
, married woman. When the wino was measured out to
i Sir Gregory three glasses of sherry and four of pert
were measured out to him. I have seen him sucking
out of an empty bottle.—(Laughter.) He had also some
brandy at Brighton, which he wished to have neat.—
(Laughter.) That was the occasion when he lay on the
sofa. The night on which the letter came he had had a
little of the neat.
Stephen Mackay—l have been engaged since 1839
in attendance on lunatics. I was attached to Dr. War-
M burton's establishment at Hoxton. I there went by the
% name of West. I was sent to Gloucester-place to at-
tend on Sir Gregory Turner by Dr. Warburton. The
first occasion that I was sent there was in June,lB42, and
that was to relieve Mr. Rook, who was going away for
a day. On Sir Gregory knowing that Rook was going
away, he was very pleased with me at first, but after-
Ice wards expressed a wish to have Rook back again the
same day. Lady Turner ordered the carriage to take
him out to pacify him. I accompanied them into the
t Park. I could not succeed in pacifying him. The
!36 coachman, consequently, drove the party to Rook's
i house in the Alpha-road to bring him back. We
i brought Rook back, and I returned to Hoxton. Some
14 weeks after that—viz. between the end cf July and the
first week in August, 1842—1 was sent by Dr.
Warburton to be in regular attendance on
Sir Gregory, in conjunction with Rook.
I remained with him till his death. When I returned on
the se mild occasion Sir Gregory's speech waft affected
very much, and ho appeared like a person a ho had been
suffering from paralysis. His habits and manners were
those of a child, not of a man. Medicines were ad-
ministered to him from time to time, which we gave him
in tea and other mixtures. The habit of not going to
4 the water-closet was still upon him, and there was a pan
kept in the room. His body was very much debilitated
at that time. On such occasions he stood upright,
and I and another were obliged to force him down.
• During the time I stayed with him he
/ exercised no free will of any kind, nor was he ea-
pable of taking taro of himself. He bad no
4 command of money at that time. I was present at his
death; he died in un epileptic fit. He had been subject
i to those fits during the time I was there.
Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—He did not die
/34 in a very violent fit; nature was quite worn out.
36 Mrs. Beechey—l am the wife of Captain Beechey.
In August, 1840, I accompanied my husband to see Sir
Gregory in the Alpha-road. That was the first time I
saw him. We took tea with Sir Gregory and Lady Tur-
ner. We stayed from about eight to ten o'clock. I
considered Sir Gregory rather en imbecile person. I
thought he was very unequal to conversation. He merely
bowed on being spoken to; he spoke for a short time,
but he could not support conversation. He had a thick
utterance. I saw him again on the last day of May,
1841. I went with my daughter. Lady Turner called
for us in the carriage, and we drove with her and Sir
Gregory to a place in the neighbourhood of Hornsey.
Sir Gregory seemed on that occasion rather weaker in
intellect. He spoke very little. At the termination of
i the drive we stopped at an inn to bait the horses.
Sir Gregory asked for some beer as refreshment.
ht He subsequently had some beer. We took a walk in the
village; and I observed the boys about the place took a
great deal of notice of him as being rather a strange
person.
(ce.
Captain Beechey—l am the husband of the last wit-
ness. I remember going with my wife to see Sir,Gregory
Turner. That was the first time I saw him. I remem-
i ber perfectly well starting several subjects of converse-
i tion into which we could not go very deep. Those were
2 A the general topics of the day. He made a merely casual
1% or superficial remark when we spoke of them. Our coneer-
-1% cation was necessarily very limited; he seemed incapable
13,4 of talking on the subjects which were started. 1 next
1% saw him in Montagu-square, when nothing passed be-
• 7,4 tween us but a bow of recognition. I saw him once
o,'‘ more in Gloucester-place; I cannot fix the date. I inatt-
.
;% gine it was the latter part of 1841, or beginning of 1842.
On that occasion he merely said, " Good morning;
1 % what's the news?" Nothing more passed, for he was in-
-1
34 capable of conversing. He was sitting at breakfast, in
14 the middle of the day, and he did not get up. He spoke
very thick, and ho articulated with grear, difficulty.
Rook was not present on that occasion, but I believe he
was in an adjoining room, though I did not see him.
Mr. John North—l am a surgeon residing at No. 9A,
Gloucester place, which is nearly opposite to the house
x, occupied by Sir Gregory Turner. In May, 1842, I was
. called in to attend him. I found him in a violent
'B, paroxysm of epilepsy, sufficiently violent to endanger
his life, inasmuch as it was accompanied with paralysis.
This was on the 7th May. I saw him also on the Bth
'l6 and 9th. I was not his regular medical attendant, and.l
fancy I was merely called in from the proximity of my
house. I saw him again on the 11th May, when he ex.
6d hibited all the ordinary feebleness consequent upon epi-
leptic attacks. I saw him in the presence of his keeper,
but I think that was not on the first occasion. The
keeper was not there from any violence manifested by
Sir Gregory, though some degree of restraint was ne-
red. I Price. cessary. I afterwards saw Sir Gregory in a chair on the
balcony of his house, calling out so as to excite the at-
tention of passers by. The centre drawing-room window
was open. I saw the arm of a man put out to draw him
in, but not with violence.
Dr. James Sutherland—l was thirty years physician
at St. Luke's. I have been in practice since 1805. I
have now retired. I gave my attention almost wholly to
cases of lunacy. St. Luke's is exclusively a luna'ic
asylum. I first saw Sir Gregory Turner on 6th Decem-
ber, 1823, at his own instance, communicated to me by
Mr. Collyer. I was called in to oppose the commis-
sion, he having selected three physicians for that pur-
pose, Dr. Powell, Dr. Haslam, and myself. I saw
Sir Gregory when he was confined in the Queen's Bench.
It was afterwards required that we should go down to
Battlesden to see Sir Gregory's collections. That was
in consequence of his being thought irrational as to his
conduct. It was part of our instructions to see whether
he had made extravagant purchases which he had not
taken care of. I examined Sir Gregory in the
presence of those gentlemen three times before we went
down to Battlesden. The result was, my impression that
his mind then laboured under delusion, chiefly on the
subject of the dread of infection, which induced him to
avoid going to the water-closet and to shut up his linen.
He stated that his son, who had died, was murdered by
Mr. Green, the medical man, from not acting up to his
instructions, and by not putting restoratives into the
child's mouth after its death. Ile aaid,Sir Thomas Ac-
land had been brought to life by similar means. He
became angry under the idea that the child had been
murdered, and I believe he threatened Mr. Green with
an action.. After going down to Battlesden, wo
communicated with Sir Gregory's counsel, " who
