LORD MORPETH.—It gives us lively pleasure to
announce, that in the course of the week after next this
town will be favoured with ti. visit from the Right Hon.
Lord Morpeth. His Lordship has been invited by the
Committee of the " Leeds Mechanics' Institution and
Literary Society" to attend the annual soiree of that int.
portant Institution, to be held on Wednesday, the 19th
inst. ; and with his usual kindness and attachment to the
cause of popular instruction, he has accepted the invite-
don. Leeds Mei cirry,
A new writ was on Monday issued for Lewes, on the
appointment of the Hon. Henry Fitzroy to a lordship of the
Admiralty. This is the gentleman who, in the house of
Commons, gave his most solemn assurance that he never
expended, directly or indirectly, one shilling in bribery or
corruption. The new Lord of the Admiralty is a man not
very easily put out of countenance, and we dare say he will
again canvass the electors of Lewes with as much nonchalance
as if the borough had ,never, been inundated with Lord
Southampton'sgeld, or as if the erectors halrforgoiton his
own appeal to Heaven that neither bribery nor corruption
had been employed to secure his return. IVe may- refresh
Mr. Fitzroy's memory upon this'subject-before hj goes to the
hustings. The Scruples of 'Sir ;Edward Knatcfibull prove too
strong fOr'fortbOttiitig Ministerial measures. What can Sir
Robert Peel be meditating? -• To'be,sure, Sir Edivard is to
be raised to the peerage, •or, shall we rather says, the peerage
is tot be lowered to Knatchbull. The new Paymaster of the.
Forces will be the Hon. Bingham Baring. A vacancy is Ural
created in the representation, ot. Tbetfordi , The vacancy in
the secretaryship of the, Board of COntiol, created by the
prom,otion of Mr. Baring, will be filled byLord Jocelyn. Is
Lord Ashley's motion to be an open question? It be
seen by a report in another part_of our paper, that Sir Thos.
Fremantle harbeen re-elected tor Buckingham.—Chrott irk
CORONEIeS, ,INQUST.—SUICIDE BY A Bar.—Ord
Monday, Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an intine3l at -the Lion
andLarnb, Drummond-crescent; Euston-square, on the body
of Thomas Press, a boy aged 13, the son of a cowkeeper, who
committed suicide. James Press, the brother of deceased,
said he resided with his parents at 43, Drummond-crescent.
The. deceased' ;Vent to school, and occasionally assisted in
carrying-out milk. On 'Friday last, at dinner time, it. was
discovered that he had been playing truant, and had appro?
priated some money belonging to his parents to his own use,
and spent it amongst some other boys., This coming to,.his
father's •kaowledge he., boxed his ears, declared he shoul4
have no dinner,. and threatened to beat him. Shortly before
two o'clock deceased's mother gave him some dinner, anti
then told him to wash himself, which he did. About half=
past three the same' afternoon witness went 'into the yard,
and observed the cowshed open, and on entering he discovered
the deceased hanging by his neck handkerchief from a beam.
'Witness gave an alarm, and -Mr. Lambert, a neighbour, and
his mother, came and cut deceased down. He' was quite dead,
and in otder to effect his object must have got on one of the
rails placed to divide the cows, and then jumped off. The
jury returned a.verdict—" That deceased destroyed himself by
.hanging, but in wbetstate of mind he was in at the time
there was no evidence to show."

BIDEFORD.—COMMITTAL OF A WIER AND SER-
VANT FOR SETTING FIRE TO HER HUSBAND'S HOUSE.—MIUT
Lashbrook, and her servant, Mary Hayes, underwent a long
examination on Saturday last (it having lasted nearly the
whole of the day), before James Gould, Esq., and Major
Wren, county magistrates, on suspicion of wilfully'. setting
fire to the premises occupied by the Lashbrooks„ the property
•of Captain Pyke, in the parish of Northam. The girl made
a full confession, stating that she was instigated by her mis-
tress to commit the act of incetrdiarism during the absence of
her master at Appledore, and pit was clearly. discovered that
the house and outbuildings Juol been tired in four different
places, considerably detached from each other. Both prisoners
were committed for trial; but the mistress was admitted to
bail, in two sureties of 50h each, and her husband in 1001.
The prosecution was instituted by Mr. John liatnlyn, the
Bideford agent to the West of England Office, in which the
property is insured. Mr. Lashbrook, the tenant of Captain
Pyke, has always been considered a respectable farmer, and
the conduct of his wife in conniving at such an act is viewed
with astonishment. It can only be accounted for on the sup-
position of her insanity.—North Devon Journal.

DBATII OF A GIRL BY FIRE.—On Monday Mr.
Wakley, M.P held an inquest at the Middlesex Hospital, on
the body of Catherine Reeves, aged 10. It appeared that
deceased was staving with her sister,a servant to a beerseller,
named Halls, residing in Noith-strePt, Manchester- square,

promptitude, and then conveyed deceased ,to that Hospital.
