FOR THE SUN..

MR. EDITOR—Never did I wish to be a Coroner
until flow. The Gentleman exercising that func-
tion at Oldham either does not understand his
rights and duties, or chases not to exercise them.
" Rights and Duties," I say—because whatever
right a Judge possesses in his Court, becomes his
duty to enforce, when strangers intrude and in-
sult hint.

I read the proceedings in Mr. FEaKAND•s Court,
and 1 lay down the report in astonishment, to ask
myself, Am I in England ?--Am I living under
any legitimate Government ?-or, have Rebel-
lion and Revolution carried every thing their
own way ?

Sir, were I in Mr. FERRAND'S place, I would
have turned th►it meddling Attorney, HARMER,
OW of my Court the first moment he disturbed it.
And, if he would not be turned-out in the regular
manner, I would have ogled him in the quickest
mode that occured—to my door.keeper's foot-.
Oct. 7. FLINT.

Mr.,Waoa, the Editor of the Manchester Ob-
surer, has, after a long search, been apprehend-
ed, and compelled to give bail On, numerous
charges of libel,

yard, and conducted it up to the center isle, where
it was placed on a platform. The nouruers
re-
ntaining near the body, a signal was given, when
15 pieces were fired.

The Morning Chronicle this dip! says, " it is
highly gratifying; to see the union which prevails
among all ranks and classes of men in this Conn..
try on the subject of the Manchester Outrages:*
We ha.ve no doubt that The Morning Chronicle
will always he highly gratified with every thingi
that may in any respect •te-n,l to raise a pm,ejudicti
against Government. We, on the contrary, are
highly gratified in seeing a union among the reailf
respectable people of all '' ranks and classes''-
throughout the Cu:fluty, to discountenance the
infamous attempts of those who are every day laa
bouring to prejudge the question, and to throw
odium--on those who, we sincerely believe, were
obliged, in self-defence, to resist time assaults
of an infuriated Rabble, nho attacked them
with birick-bats, stones, &c. and who would pro..
bably have proceeded to the most fatal ex.!
cesses, if the Yeomanry Cavalry had tatnelf
suffered their daring hostility. This union of
,loyal and impartial men, who are disposed t 0
wait till due inquiry shall be made, must there•
fore, be highly gratifying to the People at large,-
inasmuch as it tends to rescue the National Cha.
ratter from the stain of unjust prejudicatioo.
Now we are on the subject of the Manchester
disasters, we must advert to the Coroner's Inquest
at Oldham. We are of opinion that the Coronet
ought to have turned our of his Court the Re'
porter of The Morning Chronicle, as well, as of
The Times, for it is evident that he does nat
content'. himself with an accurate statement of

proceedings, hilt presumes to in►roduce his on'a

comments. We do not wonder that he should.
transmit such comments, but we are really sta.'
prized, Radical as The Chronicle as well as MI
Times has become, that it should not endeavour
to conceal the cloven-fool as long as it can, lest Oa
chareeter.of the Paper should become as despicablo
'as that of The Times. In the Keport of The Morn"
ing Chronicle yesteidoy ut this inquest, in speaking-
of what Mr. AsttwoaTn said, the Reporter say*
bespoke angrily." What right had the Reporter
thus Co describe Mr. Asti wonTn's feelings ? The
Reporter says of the Coroner, " he expressed h'
suspicions of the witness (James Wheriell) in
what appeared to me, a very ungenerous manner'
ASHWORTH echoed the Coroner's sentiment•'.
Is. this Reporter to blend his own opinion with
the proceedings of the Court ? it is intoler°
able effrontery. The Reporter next observe.'
referring to an aitercal ion between Messrs.
I NI RV and A.SHWoRTH, that Mr. Asnwool.
" attempted to give a legal defini, ion of the terto.
special." Is it to be supposed that the Reporter
is competent to decide upon the definitions gi""
by a respectable Barrister, to say nothing of 'Ws

The Reporter next says, speaking of what Mr.
SlatlytottTlA said, " this•was said With a pointed
sheer and on what the Coroner addressed
to a - witness, he sayS, " the Coroner thus
tailing the Constable to his Character, ex-
c►'ed a feeling of 'astonishment in the COuitt."
We could cite other proofs of the misconduct of
Ibis Reporter, hut the present instances Will be
lofficient to spew his feelings, and consequently
to bring su'pirion on his_ Statements. We trust,
that if The Morning Chronicle does not wish
to throw off the mask, and acknowledge at
once that it is a Radical, that, for the credit of
ha character, it will exclude all these reprehensi-
ble comments of its Reporter from the statements
014 the Proceedings, and that the Coroner will
ant suffer him to remain in Court if he, presumes
4gtlin to take the, same liberties,

THE Ttmrs.!---The Letter of i\ir. ST. JOHN, of
X'orwich, which we find was in The Courier as
bell as The Sun of last night, has naturally drawn
forth all :the venom. of The Times, which it spits
*ittb affected contempt- of the Norwich Reading
IZborn (one among the many which has discardrd
it throughout the Country), but reserves all its
fury for the Gentleman who transferred all its
tient spi►it to the New Times. But it does not
forget its policy, amidst all its rage, for it threatens
to retort to its old trick of publishing the number
of its sate, en affidavit. This is the only consola-
tion which it can feel amidst general contempt,
indignation, and we may add abhorrence, for a
Itrore detestable time-serving Paper never disgraced
"Le Public Press. As to the effusions of its
venom they ore perfectly harmless, according to
the words of the Poet :

" Of all mad creatures, if the Learn'd are right,
"It is the B:aver kills, and not the tile."
The teeth which formerly enabled the Old Times
1° bite hard, are now transplanted to the New
Tames, where they appear to be as strongly routed
if they were of native growth.

A Con mon Mill was held this day at Guildhall,
*hen the names of Alderman BKYDGES and Aldcr-
n►an THORP having been returned to the Court
Aldermen, they chose the former, who was
declared LOAD MAYOR for the year ensuing.
