CORONER'S INQUEST.-An inquest was held on
Monday at the George Inn, Hayes, Bromley, Kent, upon
the body of Margaret Head, aged 61 years, who met
her death under the following circumstances. It up-
peered, from the evidence of several witnesses, that the
deceased had laboured under weakness of intAlect during
the last four years, although able to attend her daily
avocations. Decessed had been missing for some time,
and on searching the premises in the rear of the house,
she was discovered in the hog-tub, with her head down-
wards, and her legs on the outside thereof. The tub
was full of wash and barley-meal, about three feet in
depth. The coroner and jury believing that, from the
position of the body when found, tl-e act was effected by
the deceased alone, a verdict of " Temporary Insanity"
was returned.

GLASGOW, FED. 16.--Corros.—We have had an
exceedingly dull market all the week, and where holders
were determined to realise they had to submit to a re-
duction of id. per lb. as compared with the prices of this
day week. There is still a fair demand for cotton
goods, and the spinners within the last few weeks have
found themselves able to allow their workpeople an ad-
vance of 10 par cent, for spinning the finer class of
yarns. It is feared, however, that the high rates of
cotton wool may ere lung injure the general trade.—
Pig Iron—Our pig iron market has been much depressed
during the week, and prices have given way to 475. cash
for mixed numbers, at which price the market closes
sellers, with little disposition to buy above 465. 6d. casb.
[ADvEwrisEalesiT.]—A Sufferer from Severe De-
bility and a Shattered Constitution cured by Holloway's Pills.
—Mr. Reintjes van Veerssen, a merchant, residing at Nyme-
gen, in Holland, had been suffering for years from a general
debility; his strength had become so prostrated that he was
quite incapable of attending to any kind of business ; his con-
stitution was rapidly giving way, notwithstanding the efforts of
the cleverest medical men to arrest the decline. At this crisis
he cosnrnenc:.'d taking Holloway's Pills, and by their use his
health and strength are perfectly re-established, in gratitude
for which blessing he desires that publicity be given to it, that
others may seek relief by the same means.—Sold by all Drug-
gists and at Professor H olloway's Establishment, 244, Strand,

OVERLAND MAIL

INDIA AND CHINA.
(From the Chronicle.)
We have received by extraordinary express advices
from Bombay to the 17th January, Calcutta to the
7th January, and China to the 29th December.
The news by the present mail is utterly devoid of

interest.
Both Dr. Hooker and Dr. Campbell have been re-
leased by the Sikkim Raja, and, from their narrative
of the circumstances connected with their capture, it
would appear that the conduct of the native authori-
ties towards them was of a moat unprovoked and wan-
ton character.
On the morning of the 6th, the ship Dartmouth
was burnt in Bombay harbour, as is believed, by in-
cendiaries.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS, Feb. 19.
RAILWAYS ABANDONMENT BILL.

(Continued from our Third Edition of last night.)
Lord MONTEAGLE suggested that the Bill, aftqr

its second reading, should be—referred to a Select Com-
mittee, fir he thought it most injudicious to entrust to a
body not of a judicial character, like the Railway Corn•
missioners, functions which were of a judicial kind,
without their receiving any guide or chart to direct them
in the course they had to take.
Earl GRANVILLE would consider of the suggestion
of the Noble Lord.
The Bill was then read a second time.
The Earl of GLENGALL laid on the table a Bill to
facilitate the transfer of land in Ireland.
SUNDAY TRADING.

The Earl of HARROWBY having presented several
petitions in favour of this Bill, postponed the second
reading to Friday next.—Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, Feb. 12.
POOR-LAWS.

Sir R. FERGUSON moved for returns of the sums
advanced t) each poor-law union in Ireland, under the
Acts 12 and 13 Vic. c. 24 and 63, with the date of such
advance, to the lat.,st perio‘l. and of the amount repaid
the Imperial Treasury for the advances under those
Acts, with the dates, to the latest period.—Agreed to.
CONVICTS.

Colonel DUNNE moved for a return of tha number
of convicts sentenced to death or ti ansportation through-
out the several counties in England and Wales during
the years 1847, 184 S, and 1849.—Agreed
SAVINGS' BANKS.

Mr. SPOONER wished to know whether the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer would be able to bring on his
Bill with regard to the savings' banks on Friday?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that the Chancellor of
the Exchequer would not be able to attend, but that
some other business would be proceeded with.
London, England, 1850-02-20

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

The negotiations respecting the prolongation of
the armistice, or rather the conclusion of a new one,
will probably terminate in a few days. An English
diplomatist, en route from Berlin, accompanied by
the Schleswig Secretary of Legation, passed through
Schleswig yesterday on their way to Copenhagen,
bearing, it is said, the proposals of mediation.
Nothing *whatever has transpired respecting the
terms of this armistice ; but it is stated that Lord
PALBUIRSTON decidedly disapproves of the terms pro-
posed by Denmark in regard to the prolongation,
and that under every circumstance the Prussian
Cabinet will not permit that any portion of the Duchy
of Schleswig shall be occupied by Danish troops.—
Hamburgh Correspondent, Feb. 16.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Copenhagen papers of the 11th inst. publish a
bulletin, from which it appears that the King of Den-
mark's indisposition has taken a favourable turn.
Similar news is contained in the Copenhagen journals
of the 12th inst.
Altona letters of the 14th inst., in the Borsenhalle,
announce the appearance off Eckenforde of a Danish
squadron.
In the same paper we find an account of the
Schleswig- Holsteinnavy, from which it appears that
the Duchies have sixteen gunboats, one crew gun-
boat, three war steamers, one schooner, and one
cutter, with crews numbering from 750 to 800 men,
while the Schleswig-Holstein sailors on shore amount
to from 8,000 to 9,000 men.

ITALY.

DREADFUL EXPLOSION AND FIRE AT

NAPLES.

A letter from Naples of the Gth states that an event
had occurred there on that day which had already
occasionedimmense damage, and which threatened
the most destructive consequences. The cellars of
the Darsena, or closed port, extend from the water's
edge to a considerable distance under the principal
buildings of the city, including the magnificent palaces
of the Princes of SALERNO and Carue, and the King's
palace. In these cellars were warehoused 277,000
cantara of coal, and on the morning of the 2d an ex-
plosion of fire•darup took place underneath the pa-
laces of the Princes of SALEario and Carue which
threw down large portions of the wills, and it was
with great difficulty that the ill:1614M. escaped

LORD NELSON'S DAUGHTER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—l observe in the Times of yesterday an ex-
tract from the Liverpool Albion, in which it is stated
that Horatia, Lord Nelson's daughter, is not the
child of Lady Hamilton; and this is put forth as
having been furnished by the lady herself. In this
there must assuredly be some error, as I heard Mrs.
Ward declare herself ignorant as to who her mother
was. As the statement of Horatia being the child of
" a woman wbo bad never been suspected, who bad
married well, the mother of a family, and a person of
consequence" may, if believed, militate against any
advantage her family may derive from the sympathy
of a public who feel that Lady Hamilton's services to
the country have nut been requited, I will trouble
you to say that, although I hold the evidence I have
already printed in the supplementary

GREAT EXHIBITION OF 1851.—We are authorised
to state that it is the intention of the Lord Mayor, in
the course of next month, to give a grand banquet in
celebration of the establishment of this great institution.
His Lordship has reason to hope that the Mansion-hou:e
on this occasion may be honoured by the presence of his
Royal Highness Prince Albert and other members of the
Royal Family, the officers of state, the foreign ministers,
and the chief magistrates of the corporate towns of the
United Kingdom._

The Court having disposed of the case of Elser v.

during the whole morning.

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall.)
ANDERSON V. MALTIIOUSE.
The Court was occupied during the entire morning in
hearing this case, which was adjourned from yesterday,
and brought to recover damages for the running down of
a schooner, but it had not concluded at the time of going
to press. The particulars were uninteresting.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, after Term, at Guildhall, before
Mr. Justice TALFOURD and a Special Jury.)

The Court was occupied this morning with-the case
of Hoyle v. Enthoven, which Ras an action brought to
recover the sum of 3,5001. from the defendant, who, as
agent for the plaintiff, had invested it in certein mining
companies which had since failed,
There was nothing of any general interest in the
proceedings.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONDLANQUE.)
IN RE MORRISON.
This bankrupt had carrie 1 on business in Craven-
street, Strand, and to day was appointed for considera-
tion of his certificate.
The debts are about 400/, and a dividend of 7s. in the
pound has been paid.
Mr. SHEARD, for the bankrupt, asked for a first-class
certificate, and said that the bankrupt had been in busi-
ness for 46 years in the Fame place. All his debts set
down as good had been collected to a sixpence, and the
property had fetched more than it had been valued at.
The official assignee having confirmed this statement,
and there being no opposition,
His HONOUR granted a certificate of the first class.

SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
C URIOUS MisTAKE.—There were two cases set dow❑
for trial, but the records in each were withdrawn. In
one case the writ had been mis-directed. It appears
that there are no less than three courts for the recovery
of debts under 201., namely, the Secondaries' Court (on
writs directed to the Sheriffs), the old Sheriffs' Court,
and the Sheriffs' Court under the Small Debts Act. Mr.
Commissioner Bullock is the Judge of the last courtr.
There being no remedy for the error the jury were
discharged.
Mr. KINGDOM, who appeared for defendant, said the
case ought not to have been brought in the superior
court at all.

FRANCE.

The Director-General of the Customs has notified
to his subordinates that, henceforth French and
English packet-boats plying between England and
France (those of commerce as well as those of the
Post-office), shall be authorised to convey patterns
and packages of merchandise of a weight not exceed-
ing 6 kilogrammes 25 decagrammes, without, as
heretofore, thereby subjecting them to the payment of
extra tonnage dues.
The Governor of Senegal, in a dispatch to the
Minister of Marine, dated the 16th October, gives an
account of an expedition against a chief named Sou-
rake, and others, for having stopped and pillaged
some French boats, and raised the pretension of
compelling every one who might pass through their
villages to pay a tax. The expedition resulted in
the destruction of two villages of Lannel,
and in the restitution of the pillaged
things. This exploit had caused a great impression
on the neighbouring populations, and a chief, the
Almamy of the Fouta, who had shown some hostility
to the French, hastened to make offers of peace. Al-
though the expedition took place in the bad season, in
a temperature of from 35 deg. to 40 deg., and in an
unwholesomeclimate, the French not only lost no

-The Hamburgh Borsenhalle says that accounts
were received at Vienna on the 14th from Innspruck,
which state that a very serious collision had taken
place between the privates of the Infantry Regiment
Nugent and the Infantry:Regiment Kaiser. Thirty
men were wounded, two dangerously, and the occur-
rence has caused a very great sensation at Innspruek.

TURKEY.

The Constantinople journals of the 2d state that the
greatest tranquillity continues to reign throughout
the Ottoman empire. A letter from Damascus, of
the 17th, complains of the intolerance of the Governor
of that city towards Christians and Israelites. Among
other facts, it says that M. Alfred de Kremer,
who has come to Syria, en a scientific mission from
the Academy of Vienna, has been formally refused
permission by the Governor to examine certain ma-
nuscripts and archaeological relics, notwithstanding a
letter of recommendation from the Visier, and the
most pressing remonstrances of the Austrian Consul.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEIV'S BENCH, Feb. 19.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice ERLU and a
Special Jury.)
AUSTIN V. THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LIN-
COLNSHIRE RAILWAY.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
Evidence was given to show that the wheels had been
properly greased, and that efforts bad been made with
ater to cool them, and that the accidents arose in con-
sequenee of the axle being radically defective, though
the defect was not apparent on the surface; and it was
contended that as the defendants had done all that could
be reasonably expected from them, they could not be hold
liable.

Mr. liumrarr, in reply, remarked strongly on the
circumstance that the defendants had required the
plaintiff's servants to sign the declaration, now given in
evidence, to support the defence, and that it had, in fact,
been signed by them, before the trucks bad been selected
by the company's agent.
Mr. Justice ERLE left it to the jury to say—first,
whether there had been negligence on the part of the
defendants in respect of the insufficiency of the axle
of the carriage; secondly, whether the accident
was occasioned by the wheel taking firs; and,
thirdly, whether there had teen negligence in allow-
ing the carriage to proceed after the fire had been
discovered.

The jury answared all these questions in the plaintiffs'
favour, and assessed the damages at 701„ leave being re-
served to the defe admits to move the Court above upon
certain points of 'law.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The fresh supply of English Wheat up to our market
since Saturday, coastwise, has not exceeded 170 quar-
ters. To-day, scarcely a parcel was on offer; hence, so
little business was doing that Monday's prices ruled no-
minal. From abroad, only 640 quarters of Wheat have
reached us. The transactions in granaried samples were
on the increase, and late rates were well supported.
Fine Barley for seed purposes moved off freely at ex-
treme quotations. In other kinds very little was doing.
Malt, the supply of which was small, ruled heavy. In
prices, however, wo have no change to notice. Oats
were in fair request, and quite as dear as last week.
Beans and Peas, and all other articles, commanded very
little attention.

CAMPBELL end a Special Jury.)
THE QUEEN V. COHEN AND DAVIS.
Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Iluddlestone were the
counsel for the prosemion; Mr. Sergeant She and Mr.
Balhintine appeared on behalf of the defendants.
This was an indicAment against; the defendants
charging them with conspiracy to defraud czrtain credi-
tors of Cohen. From the evidence adduced it appeared
that Cohen was formerly a tailor. fie ordered a quan-
tity of glass and earthenware from certain dealers in
those articles. These goods he consigned to Davis, who
' carried on business in the Blackfriats-road. soon after-
wards Cohen went before the Insolvent Court. and afti r
several examinations he was ordered to be imprisoned
for twenty mom hs fir difrauding, his creditors. Sub-
sequently this indictment was preferred.
A great many witnesse3 were eximined.
Lord CAMPBELL heviNg briefly summed up,
The jury instantly returned a verdict of guilty against
both the defendants. _

M. CHAMBERS :Len prayed the judgment of the
Court.

Lord CAMPBELL szid, by way of example he would
suite: ce the defendants to one year's imprisonment,
during which time they should be respectively kept to
hard labour. _ _

Mr. M. CIIAMBERS handed up the statute to his
Lordship, for ttie purpose of showing that it did not
contain any prevision fur awarditig hard labour.
Lord CADIPI3tiLL said he deeply regretted it. He
would, therefure, sentence them to Le imprisoned for
one year.

_ DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

A letter from Vienna of the 20th says—" \Ve are
assured that the Cabinet has received intelligence of
the definitive settlement of the Danish question. The
principal bases of the settlement are—ist, To gua-
rantee to the reigning family of Denmark the in-
tegrity of the monarchy ; 2, To guarantee to the
family of Hesse the right of succession in virtue
of the &die law ; 3, To accede to the Augustem-
burgh family a becoming indemnity. Cer-
tain—administrative advantages are besides, it is
said, to be accorded to the duchies, bencefoith inse-
parably united to Denmark. The affair is said to
have been conducted and regulated, unknown to, or
at least, without the participation of Prussia, by the
Eiglisli Plenipotentiary at Copenhagen, acting with
the assent of Russia. The acceptance of the Berlin
Cabinet, however, is not doubtful, although it must
abandon its floe project of creating a Prusso•German
navy, that pre ject having depended on an entirely
different solution."

GERMANY.

The Constitutionalists of Hesse intend to hold a
meeting on the 30th at Stungen, to which they have
invited all their partisans. Their object is to inform
the G3vernment of their displeasure at its hesitation
on the German question, and that the safety of the
restricted as well as of the entire federation depends
on the faithful execution of the alliance of the
26th May.
It is said that t►ere is a strong Prussian party in
Vienna anxious for the overthrow of Prince
SCEIWARTZENDERG, and for an entente cordiale with
Prussia.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 21st says—" The law
for regulating the improvement of the Theiss has
just appeared. Two hundred German square miles
of cultivable land are to be regained from the river.
The sum of 500,000 guilders has been voted as a
loan, and a Central State Commission is to be ap-
pointed."

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE

_ -
_ WEED
(Published by authority of the Registrar-General.)
The present return happily shows a continuance of
that low rate of mortality which has now been ob-
served for many weeks, and which must be considered
as favourable, when compared with what has pre-
vailed in London at the same season in former years.
The deaths in the week ending last Saturday dui not
exceed 775. Taking corresponding weeks of ten
previous years, the mortality was never so low, ex-
cept in 1841 and 1842, and it rose in 1847 and 1849
to nearly 1,000 deaths; the average is 864, or raised
in the ratio of supposed increase of population 943;
the deaths last week were therefore less than the latter
number by 168. The deaths from diseases that are
included in the zymotic or epidemic class numbered
last week 1611 the corrected average is 206. Small-
pox proved fatal in 16 cases (of which 4 occurred
amongst persons between 20 and 60 years of age r,
showing an increase in this disease, which has now
risen to the average ; they have lately ranged only
from 6 to 9. Measles was also fatal in 16 cases,
while the average is 28. Scarlatina destroyed 19
persons, which is only about half the averoge; but
this average is raised considerably by the excessive
mortality from scarlatina in 1848, when the deaths
of the corresponding week were 107. Hooping-
cough was fatal to 28 children, being rather less
.han the avenge. Typhus slightly exceeds the
average; the deaths frogs it in the last four weeks
have been 26, 39, 43, and 40. There were 18 fatal
cases of diarrhoea, which is nearly the same as in the
corresponding week of last year, and less than in

SERIOUS RIOTING AT DUNFERMLINE

THE MILITARY CALLED OUT.

For the last few days great excitement hes been oc-
casioned in the Western District of Fife, by certain out-
rageous proceedings, which have assumed so alarming
an aspect as to induce the civil authorities to apply for
the aid of the military from this quarter.
On Saturday evening, about eleven o'clock, a band
of "navies," armed with bludgeons and knives,
made a savage and unprovoked attack on some of
the inhabitants of Dunfermline, several of whom
were severely injured—one, it is feared, fatally—from
a stab in the neck and fracture of the skull. The ut-
most excitement for some time prevailed; but ulti-
aaloadtgd in eelythegnsoal.vies were overpowered, and eleven cf them
Again, on Sunday evening, two men were attacked
and stabbed in the suburbs of Baldridgeburn.
The feelings of the townspeople had now become
myensetherdeaxyascpueroantaeady,,)and a certain class resolved on
summary retaliation. Accordingly about ten o'clock
street, vowing to send all
a mob of 400 or 500,
principally
very young lmen): and boys, paraded the
g to the Iriesintene's Ilroidsghinogust,
toufrntehde
ttnoessui-n
and, proceeding
summarily out of doors, giving them time only to take
their clothes with them. one man, we believe,
resisted, having struck at one oTthetosm
axe and cut open his arm, for which whnewenn with

laid his scalp open.
The mob having- proceeded to the works of tt,e Stir-
ling and Dunfermline Railway, about a dozen men were
marched thence, and the whole paraded through the
town for the purpose of being sent across the Forth at
Qeeens'erry.
A gentleman who left Dunfermline yesterday after-
noon saw from 40 to 50 at North Queentferry, whet,
the Sheriff and Fiscal had proceeded, and managed to
protect them from any ill-usage.
A company of the 13th Light Dragoons passed
through this city at seven o'clock last night, to aid the
civic authorities,
as it was apprehended teat the popu-
lace would rise against the Irish weavers and colliers in
the district, of whom there area good many. It was
also feared that about 300 navies who are employed on
the Cowrie section of the railway would march in to aid
their countrymen.
In the afternoon about 300 special constables were
sworn in, and at present matters wear a most threaten-
ing aspect.—Edinburgh Acitertiser of Tuesday.

CLARENCE RAILWAY.—The proprietors awrnblerl
on Tuesday,but in consequence of certain accounts and reports
which the committee proposed laying before this special
general meeting not being in a sufficient state of preparation,
aynotion for an adjournment was carried, and the committee
did not enter into the affairs of the company.

and the condemnation of Archbishop Franzen',
which the cardinal had protested against in
his last note. The Marquis d'Azeglio declares
that in the facts complained of by the Holy See,
" the action of the cabinet and of the different
powers of the State has been rigorously restrained
within the limit of their respective rights and
duties," and that "no other way was open
to uphold the former and fulfil the latter." He
further expresses a hope that the conduct of
the Piedmontese clergy will be such as "to avoid
placing his Majesty's Government under the disagree-
able necessity of obeying their duty in this respect,
from the fulfilment of which alone depend the respect
of subjects towards the authorities, their obedience to
the laws, and the order and tranquillity of the state."
The general tenor of the note is temperate and
dignified.
