ST. GILES'S MURDER.

Mr. Wakley held the adjourned inquest on the body
of Mary Brothers last evening. The inquiry was wholly
confined to the conduct of the police in connexion with

the arrest of the prisoner Connor.
Police-constable Latham asserted that he could have
taken Connor into custody on the day following the
murder, had he been permitted to do so by Superin-
tendent Pearce, to whom he communicated certain in-
formation which he had received, and who was well ac-
quainted with the person of the prisoner. Pearce, on
the other hand, denied that he had received any informa-
tion from Latham. It appeared that Inspector Logan
had failed to communicate to Pearce the information
supplied to him by Latham.
Mr. WAKLET said he had written to Sir J. Graham
respecting the production of the prisoner before them,
and that in his reply (which be read) he exonerated the
police from blame, and doubted whether the Coroner had
any power given to him to cause the prisoner to be
brought before him. lle (Mr. `Wiley) expressed his
intention, with the concurrence of the jury, to bring the
question before the Queen's Bench, having been unable
to obtain a habeas corpus from Baron Robe that day, to
bring up the prisoner.
The jury being unanimously in favour of this course,
1 the inquest was further adjourned until the 30th of April.

FALLACY of the ORGANIC THEORY
" MEDICAL ADVICE MADE A TRADE OF."
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sia,—Contending, as we do, that the diploma in medi-
cine only operates as a protection to fraud and had
medical treatment, we think it right to inform the public
that the filthy advertisements which disgrace the news-
papers proceed from men possessing diplomas, and,
therefore, saves them from prosecutions. The fact of
scarcely two doctors agreeing in any cage proves that
the diploma is not a proof of qualification to cure.
Diplomas do very well to sell, as exemplified in the lead-
ing article of the Times of the Bth inst., and that is all.
Hygeists contend that every man should be his own phy-
sician, and once do away with such poisons asprussic acid,
arsenic, and other anti-medicinal preparations (by which
we maintain medical advice is made a complete trade of),
and this grand desideratum will be obtained. It is for
this principle that Hygeists have been combating with
doctors for the last twenty years, and they trust that the
time is not far distant when it will be crowned with suc-
cess. Everything goes to show that doctors cannot sup-
port themselves, which is proved by the present proceed-
ings before Parliament. We beg also to caution the
public against being led astray by the speeches which
are made at public meetings by eminent persons in sup
port of hospitals under the present medical treatment.
Such persons confess they do not enter into the question
as to whether the theory of doctors be correct or not,
and, therefore, we submit that by such support they not
only deceive themselves, but also tend to perpetuate a
false theory upon mankind. The articles, therefore, on
such subjects which appear in the newspapers prove
nothing—they may be termed the indirect way of puffing
doctors.—We are, Sir. your obedient servants,

We understand that the consideration money for
the purchase of Osborne House and estate was 26,0001. It is
said to be 2,0001. less than was first asked for that property,
when it was contemplated to be taken as a marine residence
for her Majesty and the youthful Royal Family.
AIARYLEBONE THEATRE.—We paid a visit to this
model of a theatre on Monday evening, to witness the tragic
abilities of a Miss Waverley Scott, who has lately joined Mr.
J. Douglas's corps dramatique, and were much amused ; Juliet
being the character, and our having been able from compa-
rison to judge fairly of its merits, we are enabled to state that
Miss Waverley Scott is a rising actress, rather too embonpoint
for the " fair Juliet," but nevertheless looked conane it fact.
At the commencement she appeared somewhat nervous, but
as she advanced she became the heroine entirely, and ap-
peared thoroughly to understand Shakspeare. We augur
well of this young lady, and should be happy to see her at
one of our larger houses. A farce followed, in which Mr. T.
Lee, as usual, kept the good folks of Paddington in a roar,
by his quaint and original delineation of the Frenchman.
Altogether, Mr. J. Douglas caters well for this end of the
town, and we heartily wish him success. En passant, his
early hours of concluding the performance is a grand decide
return and a great recommendation.
SUDDEN DEATH.—We regret to learn that Mr.
Andrew Jopp, ship broker, of 72, Cornhill, died suddenly
on Tuesday morning, while at the Jerusalem Coffee• house. ft
appears the unfortunate gentleman entered the coflee-room,
about half-past eleven o'clock, apparently quite well, and
shortly after retired to the water-closet, where ho fell down
in a tit. Strange to say, a medical gentleman who witnessed
the fall, merely called to the waiter to say that some one who
was ill had dropped down in the closet. Ile left the house
directly, without offering assistance, and did not return even
to learn the result. Mr. Jopp expired almost immediately
in the arms of the waiter. It may be in the recollection of
some of our readers, that Mr. Scarr, the late partner of Mr.
Jopp, also fell down in a fit, and died suddenly, about two
years since.—Shipping Gazette.
RIVER STEAM-BOATS.—Another of those rapid
steam-boats, for which the Thames is so noted, has been
added to the list of those already afloat and plying for the
accommodation of the public. She is one of the vessels be-
longing to the Woolwich Watermen's Company (No. 13),
and is in every way equal, if not superior, to the fastest of
their boats, from :No. 1 to No. 12. She was tried on Tuesday
and found to answer remarkably well, passing every boat with
which she entered into competition. She is one of Messrs.
Ditchburn and Mare's construction, and, like the others built
by this tirm for the Watermen's Company, is of iron, but is
of greater length than any previously constructed. Her
engines are by lessrs. Penn, and are upon the same principle
as those constructed for the Fairy, the tender to her Ma-
jesty's Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, but are by no means
so powerful, as those of the Fairy are 120, while these are but
of 32 horse-power.
