CORONERS' INQUESTS.

An Inquest was yesterday afternoon taken before TnonAs
Jas, Esq. at the Sun and Falcon, Down-street, Piccadilly, on
the body of Henry Williams, Esq. of 20, Horton-street, Ken-
sington, who, while palling along Piccadilly the preceding day,
was thrown from his gig under the wheel of a waggon, which
passing over his body, injured him so severely, that he died with-
in half an hour.
The Jury expressed themselves satisfied that the event was
purely accidental, and returned a verdict accordingly.
An inquest was held at the sign of the Red Lion, at Westbourne
Green, Middlesex, on Tuesday, before THOMAS STIIIIANO)
Coroner, on the body of Ann Owen, who was discovered in the
Paddington Canal on Friday evening, by a man named Wasted*
who was passing over the bridge there. Be heard the woman
plunge into the water, and called for assistance; young tnenit
named Messenger, who was passing near the spot, came up, ow
immediately gotinto the water with his clothes on, and after se-
veral attempts, succeeded in getting her out. Mr. Girdwood,
surgeon, was sent for, and by skilful treatment the first 6'6114

Mr. HART did not itno;;l;ethetii; came, which had for a
long time stood for judgment, was in his Lordship's list of the
judgments he meant to give?
His LORDSHIP said he was ready for it, and would take it for the
early part of next week.
Mr. Hssa.n said, this case had stood over for the purpose of
knowing whether Mr. Hart, and Mr. Romilly his junior, could
answer the arguments that had been made on the alternative relief
prayed in the bill. Mr. Heald did not know whether they meant
to proceed, or to leave the case as it was, to the Court.
Mr. Him' knew nothing about any argument yet to be made.
Mr. HEALD was quite content to have judgment on the case as
it had been left, for he was quite sure it stood favourably for his
client.

His LORDSHIP intimated that he should speedily dispose of it.
His Loansutr bad perfectly satisfied himself that he had de-
cided no case similar to this one. There were circumstances
here meriting attention, but after a very careful examination of
the papers in the case, he was sure he ought not to stay the taxa-
tion of the costs, unless their amount was paid into the hands of
a third person, or the Court.

Mr. HART observed, that it was really a hard thing to suppose,
that after a party had had costs decreed to him, the payment of
those costs was not to be enforced, because an allegation was made
that that order was to be, or was appealed from .!

NAVIGATION OF THE RHINE.

The question relative to the navigation of the Rhine.
deer not appear to have been in any respect advanced by
the recent Ordonnance of the King of the Netherlands, in
which he agreed to consider the Leek es the continuation
of the Rlliti6 the Batavian territory, where, in fact, the
Rhine altogether disappears, first dwindling into a petty
brook, and thin into a mere ditch. The Journal des
Debats observes, that " the only importantquestion still.
remains to he decided, through what channel is the free
navigation of the Rhine, as far as the sea, to be carried
on ? Without that liberty, all the rest is illusory ; and
on that point the, Government of the Netherlands gives
no explanations. .The. Leek teriithrates at its junctian with
the Meuse, end the Meuse is a stream entirely Dutch and
Belgic. On the other hand Prussia, on pretence of the
delays occasioned by the conduct of Holland, retains in
her hands 14 millions of florins, arising out of the duties
levied, upon the navigation of the Rhine, which she ought
of right to share with Nassau, Baden, Hesse Darmstadt,
and other small states. These German Courts addressed
Mr. Canning during his stay at Paris ; but it appears that
England, although she upholds the principle of free na-
vigation, cannot interfere in the distribution of the duties
levied on the Rhine, in the interior of Germany. • it is
said that the small Cierman Courts intend to summon
Prussia before the Federal Diet. Although Holland should
' be literally and geographically in the right on this question,
we should say to the King of the Netherlands, with all
the respect and esteem which his political principles and
permontil qualities inspire, that, according to our view, it
would be the interest of his kingdom, if well understood,
to extricate the diplomatists of the Congress of Vienna
from the snare into which their heedlessness has made them
fall. They apparently had forgotten that the Rhine on
the Dutch territorry does not flow into the sea. •To open
frankly to the navigation of Germany, the Yasel and the-
Wall, with the Meuse, whose natural windine form the
true issues of the Rhine, would attract, we think, to Hol-
land, so immense a commerce, both from Germany arid
from France and Switzerland, that ever so slight u trim-
sit duty would produCe a very great revenue. The King
of the Netherlands, who himself as an able engineer, has
traced the beautiful canal of the Texel, possesses all the
knowledge necessary to appreciate this opinion ; and we
flatter ourselves, that, entertaining the same views, he hesi-
tates to adopt them only with the design of obtaining
greater advantages for his country.

CORN AND CATHOLICS.

Utrum horum
Dirins borum AtK7Ol".
What ! still those two infernal (patio",
That with our meals, our slumbers
That spoil our tempers and digestions—
Eternal Corn and Catholics !
Cods ! were there ever two such bores?
Nothing else talk'd of, night or morn—
Nothing in doors, or out of doors,
But endless Catholics and Corn!

Never was such a brace of pests—
While Ministers, still worse than either,
Skill'd but in feathering their nests,
Bore us with both, and settle neither.
So addled in my crsnium Meet
Popery and Corn, that oft I doubt,
Whether 'this year, 'twas bonded Wheat,
Or bonded Papists, they let out.
nere, land/orris, here, polemics nail you,
Arui'd with all rubbish they can rake up ;
Prices and Texts at once assail you—
From Daniel these, and those from Jacob.

And when you sleep, with head still torn
Between the two, their shapes you mix,
Till sometimes Catholics seem Corn—
Then Corn again seem Catholics.
Now, Dantsic wheat before you floats—
Now, Jesuits from California—.
Now Ceres, link'd with Titus Oats,
Conies dancing through the " 'Porta Cornea."'
Oft, too, the Corn grows animate,
And a whole crop of heads appearS,
Like Papists, bearding Church and'itate—
Themselves, together by the ears F.
While, leaders of the wheat, a row •
_ _

Of Poppies, gaudily declaiming,
Like Counsellor O'Bric and Co.,
&and forth, somniferously flaming!

In short, their torments never cease;
•
• And oft I wish myself transferred off
To some far, lonely land of peace,
Where Corn or Papists ne'er were heard of.
Oh waft me, Parry, to the Pole ;
. For—if my fate is to be chosen
'Twixt bores and ice-bergs—on my soul,
I'd rather; of the two, he frozen!

MANCHESTER, SATURDAY EVEN/NG, NOV. IS.

(FROM Mini CORRESFORDENT.)
al'e sorry that we cannot give s, more favourable re-
presentation of the state of trade since Tuesday last,
during which period scarcely any business has been doing,
nor is the progpect at all promising for the future. Our
market is become so exceedingly bail, and the depression
so great, that the holders of piece goods find much diffi-
culty in forcing sales even at lower prices. The demand
for water twist has been gradually declininF and, within
the last few days, hai nearly subsided. he inquiry for
mule yarn, of every number, has been very limited, and the
sales made inconsiderable. The stocks of mitertwist and
mule yarns are upon the increase, and unless a market can
be found to take off the redundant supply, we fear that
even our more extensive spinners will be, from necessity,
again compelled to stop their mills, or very Considerably
reduce the hours of labour. In consequence of the heavy
state of the market for piece goods, and for yarns,, cotton
has been, through the past week, very dull. We cannot
learn, however, that there is any alteration in prices.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARYLEBONE.—A good-tempered decent looking young
girl, of the name of Amelia Jennings, now living at Clapton,
near Hackney, attended before the Magistrates, to complain of
the conduct of a person named Joseph Pheasant, in having ob-
tained 61. from her, under the false pretence that he would marry
her. She becaMe acquainted with him, she said, between eight
and nine months since,. while in the service of Dr. John Simms,
of Cavendishstreet, at whoseiesidence the defendant was then at
work as a journeyman plumber.: He professed himself to be a
single man, and believing the truth of what he said, she consented
to receive his addresses. He soon lost his work, and under the.
pretence that he was jobbing. for himself, and was short of money,
he prevailed on her to lend him a sovereign. He subsequently
applied to her for the loan of two more, saying. that his father,
who lived below Birmingham; was dangerously ill, and he was ex-
tremely desirous of going. into the country to see him. She let
him have the money, as well then as on other occasions, when he
represented himself to be in want of assistance, so that, in the
whole, he had obtained from her upwards of 61., the fruits of her
industry. While she WWI atlvaneing this money, she did it under
the persuasion that she was'to be married to him.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Have you found out, young woman, that
any part of his tale is untrue? .•
The Girl—Yes, Sir, he has acknowledged that what he said to
get money from me, to assist him in his work, was false.
The Magistrate—Have you ever discovered that lie is a mar-
ried man?

The Girl—Yes; before I went to George-street (now more tiltti
four months since) I found out that he had a wife, anti t have

duce seen her.

Gibbs, the officer, also said the defendant had a wife who was
now lying in.
The Girl—When I found him, he abused me very much, and
told me I might do my worst. His real•name is Joseph Phesant.
Phesant, on being asked what he had to say to the charge, re-
plied that the greater part of the girl's statement was false.
Mr. ItswuNsox—l think you are acting a very unmanly part
in attempting to injure this girl's character. I believe 'her story,
and she has said quite sufficient for •me to hold you to bail, your-
self in 501., and two sureties of 251. each ; but I will not bind
her over to prosecute, as it will give you the opportunity of doing

•
justice to the girl.
The parties retired for a ti►ve, when the defendant and his
friend prevailed on the good-tempered girl to accept the re-payment
of the money by instalments of a pound a month ; but as the Ma-
gistrate did not approve of the' security offered for the fulfilment
of the engagements, the man was locked up till he could offer more
satisfactory terms.
London, England, 1826-08-05

were not known, or had - not been resorted to by any preceding'
lexicographers. The defendant had, however, adopted all these,
and had availed himself of the quotations from the works of Ro-
bert of Gloucester, from the, elder Chronicles, and from Dr.
Percy'.' Reliques, none of which were to be found in the Dic
tionary of Dr. Johnson. It was unquestionably true that the
defendant might have had acceok to all ;the works, but it was
too improbable to believe that he could have taken out exactly
the same passages as the plaintiffs. It had been decided in the
in the case of a Road Book, where Mr.
printed Gose, that the copying the error
CojusutricteoGf Kroseing,s;snamßenecwh,as
proved the piracy, and he hoped that the proof here was still
more striking.
The Loan CisaWclti.Lon said, he remembered a similar piracy
when Sir Griffin Wilson was described as Sir Griffin.
The SOLICITOR-GINERAL gave several other instances in which
the il4endant had copied the errors of the plaintiffs in thi words
44 Arbour," tt Ash," " Abjure, "! Arnice," " Ah-
'Scan," and " Armenia ;" and concluded by paying the in-
jimction.
Mr. SIIENCR and Mr. LORAIN? Were heard on the same aide.
The Loan CIIANCELT.OR said, that in the case of an injunc-
tion against.the author of a book of roads, it had been held, that
although he had used the words of a previous work, yet, as he
had made his own measurements, he could not be charged with
having pirated the former work. It was extremely difficult, in
two works, like the present, to say which was and which was
• „
not a piracy.
Mr. Roams, for the defendant, addressed the Court at some
length. He relied` principally on two points—the first was, that
the plaintiffs, who became acquainted with what was called an in-
fringement of their copyright in March last, had waited until the
end of July last before they had commenced any proceedings ; the
other, that the title of the plaintiffs to the copyright which they
claimed had not been satisfactorily made Out. He laid great stress
upon the latter objection, contending, that parties who were not
before the Court were entitled to the original shares, and that the
plaintiffs did not show any means by which those shares had come
into their possession. Upon these pointy Le rested his cue for the
present, and brought his argument to this point, when the Court
rose, having sat until five o'clock.
London, England, 1826-08-05

corrected him with a strap, to which, unknowingly to
him a the time, a buckle was appended. In consequence
of something unfortunate in the structure of the child's
head, he received a mortal wound from the buckle, which
had the effect of destroying a life, for the preservation of
which the wretched parent; ould cheerfully have sacri-
ficed his own. Upon such an occasion every man must
feel the deepest sympathy with the distracted parent. As
Counsel for the prosecution, he had felt it his duty to make
this statement in the prisoner's favour; and he felt per-
suaded in his own mind, that if the case were goneinto,
the Jury must have been convinced that the death of the
child was occasioned by accidental misfortune, and was not
attributable to any thing culpable in the parent. Perhaps
some apology was due to the Court and Jury for these
observations, on an occasion when there was nothing now
for their consideration ;• but he hoped that in dismissing
the unhappy gentleman from the bar, he might be per-
mitted to return to the bosom of his disconsolate family,
with the persuasion, that at least in the estimation of the
public, he had nothing with which to reproach himself in
a catastrophe which had occasioned him so much personal
misery.
Mr. Justice liolroyd concurred with the learned Counsel
in thinking, that had the trial proceeded, the result must
have been an acquittal, inasmuch as the depositions taken
before the Coroner disclosed circumstances inducing a
belief that the death of the child was purely accidental.—
This view of the case found some confirmation in the fact,
that the Grand Jury had thrown out a bill of indictment
for manslaughter.
The prisoner, who appeared to be broken down by in-
ward anguish and remorse, bowed respectfully to the Court,
and was immediately restored to liberty.

SIMONY.

ir
TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.
Sui---Having some few days since observed in
your highly improved Paper, several disquisitions on
the subject of Simony, and of the Laws relating
thereto, it will, perhaps, not be uninteresting to your
Readers to find also in its columns, what Acts were
considered as constituting this offence, or as being
different branches of it, and what penalties were in-
flitted on those who were found guilty of it, by the
laws and constitutions of the early Christian church.
I have made the extract, which I herewith transmit to
you from a work of high authority, on any nuttterpan-
meted with the ancient Ecclesiastical customs, taws.
or rites. You will probably be aware, that I allude to
the Origines Eceleausticte, of a very learned Divine
of the last century, the Rev. Joseph Bingham, whose
preferment does not appear to have been at all in pro-
portion to his great talents, and very useful Theological
labours.
Should this extract be acceptable to you, I will send
you more on the laws respecting the different species
of Simony; and, perhaps, from time to time on other
subjects, if, in perusing the work, I should meet with
passages relative to ally Ecclesiastical matter, which
may happen to be subjects of discussion at the present
period, and therefore, likely to attract the attention of
some of your numerous Readers.
I am, Sir, your very obedient servant,
ARCHIEOPHILVS.

TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS
OF THE BOROUGH OF BARNSTAPLE.

GINTIAMEN,
MY anxious wish to consider duly the honour and
importance of continuing to represent your ancient
Borough in Parliament, has made me hesitate thus long to declare
my intention of withdrawing myself from the approaching contest.
Had I come hastily to my present determination, I should have
ill requited the kind confidence with which you have hitherto
honoured me; and having once formed my resolution, I feel I
should act ungratefully to my friends in delaying for a moinent to
release them from those promises of support, which such a reso-
lution must cancel.

In taking my leave of you, I trust I may, without vanity, ap-
peal to the principles on which I have invariably acted in Parlia-
ment, to my constant attention, to your local interests, and parti-
cularly to my zealous resistance of all encroachments on our in-
valuable Protestant Establishment, as a proof that I have not been
altogether unworthy of that confidence, which I Batter myself you
would again have reposed in me, had I not most reluctantly
adopted the resolution of retiring.
Gentlemen ! The pleasing task remains to me of thanking you
collectively and individually for that support and confidence which
I have twice successfully solicited, and to assure, that whenever
the interests of Barnstaple can be benefited by my exertions either
in or out of Parliament, I shall not forget that I have enjoyed the
honour of being your:representative during eight eventful years,
and that I am still your fellow-freeman and most humble servant,
(Signed) F. M. OMMANNEY.

MR. THEODORE HOOK AND MR. LOCKHART,

It is curious to compare the two leaders of the-two periodicals
of the pretending school. Mr. H' "k .• • . is a plain
looking stout man, whom you might take for a Stock-broker,
rather respectable than gentlemanly in his pertain. In
conver-
sation he is any thing but forward; there is not a bit of the
lion about him ; he takes his part in conversation, and takes it
well, and lets others take their parts. You would never NM.
pet him to be a wit but from his hits and racy stile, for there is
not a particle of pretension, or assumption of any kind, in his
manner. We speak of him as we have seen him sobered by
years : • when young, we ale told that be merited a different
description. The man here is not in keeping with his writings,
not so with the Coryphens of Blackwood. You would Imo
unerringly argue the style of writing from the style of the man.
